So stop watching, then. Simple.
Lets face it, the Spurs are not going to win another le in the Duncan era
2007 was his last
So stop watching, then. Simple.
when the did i say the season was over? the truth is that this team is NOT good against the best teams. that's the simple truth and apparently you can't deal with it or take it for what it's worth.I'd prefer to read his internet muscle flexing than your, "Look at me, I'm a pessimist. That's so badass. I can talk about my team because it makes me look cool." take that about 50 other posters have been mouth breathing lately.
If you're that convinced our season is over, then just stop watching. And posting. And the board will be better for it.
calling someone names over the internet is a great way to debate AND show your maturity level at the same time. "HEY THAT GUY DOESN'T AGREE WITH ME OR I DON'T LIKE WHAT THAT GUY SAYS..... HIM ING GOT *INSERT MORE BIGOTRY HERE*" you deal with anger the right way.
We've played 5 more games than Memphis to date, SIX more games on the road, and we lost in overtime to the Grizzlies in Memphis when Duncan had a bad night. It's also ing JANUARY. No one is going to remember how this team is playing now in May, because it will be so far removed from playoff reality that it won't even matter.
By all means though, continue with the pessimism, cool guy. You're so cool. "Omg this team sucks!" Really, where do you find the time to write such incredible NBA analysis?
Angry? I'm not the one writing in all caps....
.... got.
no one write anything on the internet especially Spurstalk if it's not positive. okay got you.
you're so tough. please keep contributing your well thought out analysis.
fact of the matter is that Spurs are not good against the league's best. no one can claim that as false. if you're upset with the fact don't take it out on the one presenting the facts. will this mean anything in May? maybe, maybe not. but right now the team is not good against the best. and if we're not gonna talk about the present just lock the whole board and open it in May and June only.
Don't you know you're not allowed to say something that reflects poorly on the team (unless timvp approves of it), even if it's factually correct? And why would you think it's alarming that they haven't controlled a single game against an elite team (save for the Heat game, which was irrelevant for obvious reasons) at damn near the half way point? You must be "emo", looking for attention or pessimistic.
Endlessly spewing for the sake of looking cool with absolutely nothing behind it other than, "hurr durr we're losing a lot" is idiotic. Sorry if you can't handle the fact that your posts are bad. When you make thoughtless posts, you sound idiotic, and when you're so negative about a team you're supposed to love watching, it just makes me wish you'd not post anymore, or actually include a modi of intelligence into your comments. Bandwaggoners are ing annoying no matter what side of the aisle they're on, be it delusional positivity or cliff jumping.
But no, you're too busy being a badass talking about your favorite team. Carry on.
i'm a ing season ticket holder. lol.
you think i enjoy seeing them lose, let alone against the NBA's best? i gave you all the facts, so if you're not willing to realize they're true or accept them that's your problem, but i dont have a vindictive path to "spew " on the team i spend thousands of $$$ on every year. you're clueless but thanks for taking a leap on what i am bc you can't accept reality.
havoc you need to pull your head out of your ass, this a spurs forum, a place to discuss the current state of the spurs. we can say and post whatever we want. just because its not positive it doesn't mean we don't fully support this team, some of us are just mad and disappointed. you need to realize that not everybody is going to agree with what you say.
Just because he thinks they won't win a le doesn't mean he doesn't want to watch. Even if this Spurs team had no chance, I'd still watch because when they're clicking the level of basketball put on display is a thing of beauty. I also appreciate the relative effort level of the team. However, this Spurs team is not a juggernaut like last year's. I'm not sure why, but the offense has been more inconsistent this year even though our lineup has more experience playing together. Maybe other teams are figuring this team out, idk...
All I know is that this Spurs team does not respond well to physicality and athleticism. Physical teams give Timmy and Tiago trouble on the block and hound Manu and Tony around screens, while long, athletic teams can disrupt the high pnr which is the bread and butter of this team's offensive efficiency. Without the high pnr the Spurs are left with a mixture of early transition, 4 down, and through screen plays that are easily scouted.
The main reason for these problems is the lack of a go-to scorer when the offense goes to (Timmy is still the best 1 on 1 player on the team, but he's not what he used to be) and an overall lack of explosive athleticism on our team from PG - C.
So you have even less of a reason to be a ty poster.
It's amazing how you say you're a season ticket holder, and spend $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ every year, and yet you're so worked up about regular season games that you're on the edge of the cliff. Because we've ALWAYS dominated playoff teams in the regular season during championship years, right?you think i enjoy seeing them lose, let alone against the NBA's best? i gave you all the facts, so if you're not willing to realize they're true or accept them that's your problem, but i dont have a vindictive path to "spew " on the team i spend thousands of $$$ on every year. you're clueless but thanks for taking a leap on what i am bc you can't accept reality.
I can't believe that after 15 seasons of Duncan people still get worked up about games in ing January. It makes no sense.
Yes you can post whatever you want. And I can call you out for bringing absolutely nothing to the forum except empty, negative takes. It must be rough when you get called out. Why don't you post in caps about how upset I am some more?
Do you also not realize that we were supposed to be DONE as a team 3-4 YEARS ago? How EVERY season since 07 has been a ing gift because we were too old and fading. So yes, we have some hiccups in January. That's why it's January. If it were April I'd be slightly concerned, but even then... it's the REGULAR SEASON. You know, the thing Pop calls an 82 game tune-up. How can you be a Spurs fan for more than 2-3 years and be worried at this point? We've had some horrible January months before on our way to le runs.
And all I know is this "what have you done for me lately" at ude that so many posters have been taking up is absolutely abysmal. There aren't words to describe how ridiculous it is. There's a thread about how Duncan should be shut down... after three sub-par games when he has played a season of BRILLIANCE. I don't intend to agree with everyone, and I have rarely taken issue with anyone speaking negatively about this team before (aside from the silly TP hate on this forum), but this season has been completely overboard in regard to losses. At this point, it's not even worth it to read the "OMG WE SUCK" circlejerk after a loss. A loss to a contender on their own floor in OVERTIME. It pollutes the game threads entirely, and the posts afterward, makes this forum almost impossible to enjoy. If I have to call people out for it, that's what I'm going to do.All I know is that this Spurs team does not respond well to physicality and athleticism.

"HOLY THE CLIPPERS SUCK THEY CAN'T EVEN BEAT THE MAGIC THEY NEED TO TRADE PAUL AND TANK THE REST OF THE SEASON."
Just enjoy the ing ride for a change and stop being a bunch of whiny es. No one in their right mind could have convinced me that at this point of the Duncan era the Spurs would be 17 games above .500. Wow...they can't beat the best teams. Newsflash, head...they are not a championship team anymore. They are a top of the middle of the pack team...and those teams will lose to the best teams more often than not.
If that bothers you so much go smear your tears all over your Tim Duncan fathead and soak them into your Spurs comforter.
The Heat look like right now, and yet I wouldn't bet against them to raise another le at the end of the year. Same goes with us. IMO the Thunder aren't as built for the playoffs as they were last year, the Clippers are beatable, andLakers. So we probably won't win the le this year, but I wouldn't rule us out, either. And if we "only" make the WCF, that's pretty ing amazing considering I've been reading articles since 07 about how the Spurs are done as a team.
durant is unstoppable havoc, denial is not just a river in egypt
That's why the Thunder won a le last year, right? That team that we were some bad calls in one quarter away from taking back to Game 7 at San Antonio?
I think they had their shot last year and blew it. Could something fluky happen and they pull it out? Of course...there is always that possibility. I agree that it would be awesome to at least go back to the WCF. That's a successful year considering where we are in the Duncan era.The Heat look like right now, and yet I wouldn't bet against them to raise another le at the end of the year. Same goes with us.

dont remind me, i go to a bad place when i think of game 6.
This team was two games away from the Finals last year. Looked unstoppable during that 20 game winning streak and was favored to win the west...defense has improved, more Splitter, less Bonner and Blair, Duncan has mostly played well this season, Manu is picking it up as of late. I see no reason why sneaking into the Finals should be considered completely unrealistic. Winning the le itself will be alot tougher but the West is wide open imo.
Agreed. It's hard to win the le when your team is in their prime, let alone when they're like this. But that doesn't mean it's over. Things happen. Injuries happen. Teams gel unexpectedly. What if Green goes 45% from 3 in this playoffs? Could happen.
I don't know how you got the votes to become a Spurstalk 2nd team all star. You suck
