What, no threads giving props to Tony Parker?

I've seen this as the final attempt at a ring. I honestly haven't given any thought to what could be next. As of right this second, I think the days of the Spurs being a legit contender are over.

And for the record, Pop was right. This Spurs team wasn't going to win with defense. If they were going to win, it was going to be with offense. And the offense actually held up throughout. Unfortunately, the Spurs ran into an offense that was even more unstoppable.

I thought the Spurs added some good defensive pieces this season (Khawi, Green to an extent, Splitter... later on Jack and Diaw) and that balance is what made get to where they got to. I thought the kind of defense they played when the playoff started went unnoticed under the win streak storyline. I also think that ended when Tim had to basically work hard for his points and got worn out.

But it was fun to watch.
This was my favorite Spurs season since probably 2005.

No doubt. I have to give props to objective, who rightly pointed out that it has gotten to a point where seeing RJ out there was a drag. Getting rid of him and bringing Jack back was awesome. And Jack was everything I expected and more these series. I really had a blast this season.

What kind of an honest opinion can one formulate before the start of the season? I took my time, watched a half season of basketball, and made the most accurate predictions thus far of any other fan on the site that I know of outside of DMC. I predicted pretty much every series thus far, except for memphis and LAC.

You also saw the Spurs when they were peaking calling them fools gold and said they weren't going to get to the WCF

Think you mean DPG who compared RJ to having a cold that makes you feel like crap, but not bad enough to go to a doctor to get a cure. what an analogy.

IF i said that, it was before the seedings were determined. i knew they could beat the likes of utah and lac, lakers were iffy and I didn't think they could beat OKC. I called OKC and miami finals early on, we'll see if I'm right about the other half.

But the fact remains that you need to stop being so buttmad because you were wrong and deflecting. You were wrong in your argument with JaG that they just simply choked, whenever guys like me and DMC called it way ahead of time.

So a team who won 20 in a row and 32 of 30 or something like that is not going to contend next year? After being proclaimed as the next coming a week ago and running into a red hot Thunder team which likely wont be able to keep all their vital pieces next season. Don't get why not

Nah, I'm sure it was objective. Not saying that you didn't, but he's the one I remember saying it.

Blame 27 shot attempts or second half chokes or whatever you want but this series was lost on the other end of the court. Even the great Prime Manu couldn't have changed that. Tbh, with as hot as the Thunder were from the perimeter, I don't think even Prime Duncan would have made a huge difference.

Prime Duncan definitely would have impacted this series much more because there would be more of a defensive presence down low, back when he could jump. It would change how our perimeter guys defend those of OKC's, guys like Westbrook, Durant, and Harden, who all can shoot and put it on the floor to the rim. They could press them tighter and defend the outside jumper more. Shots like the Game 5 dagger from Harden over Kawhi, Kawhi played him very well but he respected the drive a good deal and could have contested better/blocked, but more realistically would have prevented that 3 from being taken in the first place.

When the Thunder drove, they often waltzed right to the rim for easy buckets. That wouldn't happen as much with prime Duncan. But there's no sense in arguing this so IDK what I'm doing.




Anyway, this loss really sucks. The Spurs have been written off every year for the past few years now, but they've always stuck around, never making it to the finals for a variety of reasons. They played amazing basketball the past 2 seasons, but it was a variety of bball that is much more suited for the regular season. You need reliable, night in night out star power to win les. It sucks that they had 2 straight years of finishing first in the west and nothing to show for it, I thought they were gonna really pull it off this year and it would have been the best way imaginable for these group of vets to go out, shutting everyone up about being boring and/or not serious contenders, winning a le that not a single person could have predicted at the start of the season. It would have been my favorite championship, BY FAR.

Only by ChumpDumper, he admits that he likes to pester me. Thank you for begrudgingly admitting that I called the spurs fool's gold in the middle of that run while everyone was on the bandwagon, though.

Nobody is perfect, but this time I was right. And you Spurs forum posters owe DMC an apology..I'm not sure why everyone hates him


G'night all.
