That's why we play the game, styles make fights. Blazers have a formula to contend with the spurs, good thing they're not making the playoffs.
WHY do the blazers ALLWAYS give the Spurs such a hard time?
the way the play against us u would think there top 5 in the west......
but oh yea there like 10th or 11th and not even over .500
How come every time they play Aldridge and Hickson own Tim and whoevers in the front court
Lillard absolutely s on us too.
WTF i dont get it
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????

Because the Spurs suck against them, no other way to word it . Gold Standard I agree, they would probably take this Spurs team 6 or 7 if they met, scary to even think of to be honest.
Blazers bigs can hit jumpshots
Popovich loves to play to his statistics and bends over and lets nba players get wide open jumpshots
theyre also athletic or good offensive rebounders
another spur weakness
now that they have lillard spurs will struggle to beat them every time since he can abuse theyre already terrible pick and roll defense
It doesn't get much worse than Diaw's defense today.
The rotation after the 1st quarter was atrocious. Oh well, on to the next one. Have to play up to snuff on Monday. Everytime I see Bonner I start to concede the game or at least the lead. In this case, it was the game.
Good points.
Blazers are not a good team but they are still built to be Spur's killers. Dont think for a second that even better teams built with a similar makeup type like the blazers will not give the Spurs fits in the playoffs
just sign of things to come IMO
Not everyone in the playoff picture has C/PF that can hit jumpers like that and a slashing PG. OKC still opposes the biggest threat to the Spurs because you never know if Ibaka will hit his jump shots.
yup I can see OKC and Heat pummeling SPurs just like they got pummeled tonight. If the young guys don't show up
OKC would pummel us, Heat would just win by 15 after ing around the entire 1st half.
Having trouble with a team does not excuse a 30 point loss at home. I still don't get what happened.
Rotations were screwed up in the 3rd. It was still a close game, bad management by Pop. Matt Bonner has no business on the floor when the other teams PF/C can hit jumpers and attack the basket.
We play the blazers again by any chance?
What I always find interesting is that Pop will get mad at players for missed assignments or blown plays but I've never seen him give Bonner an earful for just stinking up the place when's on the floor.
No, but they've clinched the season series 2-1.
That said a team with midrange shooting bigs and a slashing PG always gives the Spurs fits. IIRC Rose has a great record against the Spurs over his career.
The lack of athletic bigs to help guard is a big problem and then our bench is all under 6'6 its atrocious.
Kawhi should have gaurded lillard when he started getting hot.
He pretty much did whatever he wanted
It's also onand his defensive system. The bigs aren't conditioned to guard jump shots.
KL's man defense isn't there yet I'm afraid
Hey at least the guys will be fired up on Monday. Lot of good that will probably do though...
okc due for a loss
unfortunately spurs due to go 50% next 10 games
it's gonna be a good game
They shot 61% from 3 point range, 61% total. They were simply hot.
Take the tape, trash it.
okc was simply hot last playoffs too
