Still choking on lebron's way too much to take anything you post seriously. But I'll take your crooked advice just this once... Miami will win the NBA championship. I'm sorry to do this to you Harlem, but I'm not a Lebron fan .
Not sure if serious, but they were at home and a playoff team. I mean it's possible to lose to them.losing to the freaking Warriors

Yes, it's obvious you are butthurt because you were so wrong and people are laughing at you.
Tough . Don't be so wrong next time.
No problem. People laugh at you all the time. Parker had 15 points in the first two meetings this year.
In last years playoffs, he shot a combined 36% from the field in 4 postseason games. That's not wrong, that's fact. As far as beating quality teams, if the Spurs continue to rely on Tony Parker to do everything on offense, they won't survive the WCF's. Feel free to bookmark this post.
Sam Mitc said it on GameTime that you can stop Tony Parker by creating your gameplan around stopping him. That's why the Spurs need Manu and TD to be able to create offense. TD's got to be effective on the block and Manu off the dribble. TP can't rely on shooters to bail him out. Their role players and asking them to hit contested shots isn't going to work. We need to be able to create consistent offense without TP.
Playing KL on the block and off the dribble as opposed to just being there in the corner helps too.
From what I've seen with how OKC played us last year and the way GS defended Tony with Thompson, the Spurs are going to have to learn to play a different way in the playoffs against certain opponents. We can't rely on Tony to do everything for us. When they defend the PnR that way, our offense really struggles. And, I don't have much faith in our role players suddenly creating offense. They're good at what they do, and that's hitting spot up jump shots. It's going to have to be Manu off the dribble, or maybe even Kawhi in the post, because Timmy's post game is a shadow of what it used to be. You can't count at that aspect anymore, at least not consistently. Someone else is going to have to step up. Should be interesting to see if we can make that adjustment or not.
Not because I'm terrible at predictions like you.And you made your prediction solely bvased on the boxscores you sniffed. It bit you in the ass hard.Parker had 15 points in the first two meetings this year.
Yeah, I'll file it under " everyone already knew for years."In last years playoffs, he shot a combined 36% from the field in 4 postseason games. That's not wrong, that's fact. As far as beating quality teams, if the Spurs continue to rely on Tony Parker to do everything on offense, they won't survive the WCF's. Feel free to bookmark this post.
1)If Sefalosha is on TP, the Spurs should go big(Kawhi at SG and Jack at SF) and post up Kawhi or Jack vs Westbrick.
2)Run the PnR with Manu/Splitter
3)Run the PnR with Kawhi/Duncan
That's a pretty good remedy, but it puts a lot of pressure on JAX and Kawhi to score consistently in the post. Not saying they can't, just saying. Also, it takes away our biggest 3 point threat in Green. It'll turn into a grind-it-out type of game at that point, where we have to rely a lot on our defense.
Side note: The Lakers are going to make the playoffs. They're playing well now, and are 11-4 in their last 15. They're only 3 games back of the 8th seed, and I have no faith in Utah or Houston to continue winning (both lost last night too). The Lakers have a pretty easy schedule coming up. They play Denver, OKC, and Indiana in 3 of their next 17 games, but the other 14 are all very winnable games against lesser opponents in which they'll be favored.
My point being, if/when they make the playoffs, they might even make the 7 seed, so we wouldn't even play them in the 1st round unless we were to slip and get the #2 seed.
He wasn't a big threat vs OKC...
acting like the warriors are a team we will struggle against. we won something like 16 consecutive games against the warriors prior to this game, and we lost on the 2nd of a road back to back in overtime a day after mauling the clippers. losing a road game on the 2nd of back to back against a playoff team is not a sign of weakness
If we are going to win anything, we will have to trust role players to fill their roles. Just because Green came up short last year doesn't mean we need to abandon him. He's our best shooter right now. Keep in mind last season was essentially Green's rookie season in that he had played about 200 minutes in his career prior to last year. Tony Parker was struggling in 03 against the Nets... and in that specific series Speedy Claxton was clutch. Doesn't mean the team needed to bench Parker for Claxton the next season. We didn't bench Parker for Steve Kerr after the Mavs series.
I am not saying to abandon Green, just talking about some different ways to play.
I never said we'd struggle against the Warriors. If you read the post correctly, I said that the Spurs struggle offensively when an opposing team puts a bigger defender on Tony, which is completely true. It's a big part of the reason why we lost in the WCF last year. I merely used Golden State as an example, because they did the same thing OKC did, and it was pretty effective for a large part of the game, regardless of whether it was a back-to-back game.
Point being, just because he was cold in a series one year ago doesn't mean we have to go away from whats been our bread and butter this year. We can't play this season afraid of last season
was referring to this tbh. my bad for not quoting originally
i am not saying to go away or anything like that, but we should have new options on offense
Losing to the Warriors was entirely predictable - 2nd of a btb on 8th game of trip when they're getting tired and Warriors really need a win. In fact, I predicted it before the RRT.
Missed a perfect prediction by one night.
Me too. I got Detroit and Brooklyn right, but thought we'd lose to Chi-town... oh, and we still have to beat the Suns!
Missed a perfect prediction by one night.
No. You're just terrible at everything else.
LOL at being wrong about a prediction that hasn't occurred yet. LOL at having a conversation with a 5th grader who reads at a first grade level.
since 2012. That's not years. The Spurs haven't been this reliant on one player since the admiral.
Then why are you so butthurt about our laughing at you?
Because you were wrong.
Just quit crying and maybe someone will respect you.
Probably not because you are a terrible poster, but maybe.
hoping for a W without Tony...
