Wrong game bud and wrong championship year.
But thanks for finding another.

Hard fouls and being more physical falls under the category of disrupting the other team's rhythm. The basic idea is that you get the other team thinking more about what you're doing on defense than what they want to do on offense. If you disrupt the other team's offense they're less likely to keep shooting well. It gives you a fighting chance.
So their starting point guard went off when our star point guard wasn't playing? blow it up, RC
Has anyone informed Miami they are not a championship team after losing at home by 20?
Get over yourself, dude (or is it dudette???)
Stop acting like a sissified gurlyboy.
In the 1984 NBA Finals Magic's Lakers beat the living out of Larry Bird's Celtics 137-104, after which Larry called out his sissy teammates.
BTW, the Celtics went on to win the NBA Championship after that game.
Either grow the up or learn to play tiddlywinks or take up dolls.
Anyway as Forrest Gump was known to say, " Happens". I'm outta here.......

Except TD and Manu are not getting younger. Our best chance with the big 3 is this year, so we have no choice but to go all in or blow it up next year. Mr. Baynes is a project player still, but he is big and strong and we need his hard fouls to say the least. We need to punish layups and make opponents shoot outsides. Which create opportunity for rebounds and even fastbreaks.
How pussies like the OP ever got associated with the word 'fan' is beyond me.
Just a bad loss. If TP were playing, Lilliard probably doesn't have as much energy to go off as he'd have to expend some defending TP. Mobile, jumpshooting PFs like Aldridge and Dirk have always given Spurs problems as they have no one to guard them. Leonard is too small - Tiago too big/immobile (for them). Spurs will unlikely see Portland in the playoffs so no worry. #1 seed is unlikely with TP out for so long. It's a perfect time for others to step up offensively - in particular Leonard. Spurs just need to be healthy, try for the highest seed they can get and AVOID the Lakers in the first round. I think they can take any team except for the HEAT. Maybe MIA won't lose for the rest of the RG, build up a lot of media hype and choke from the intense pressure in the playoffs.
You started a thread cheering for the Lakers.
Your opinion is meaningless.
What the ? Why even bother to play the 48 wins we have? We have given away the championship because we have lost 15. OH THE HUMANITY OF IT!!!!
Just give the " ing" trophy to Lebron or Kobe. we have lost to 1/2 the NBA this season.
Timmy is old and cant do . Parker stays hurt all the time. Manu should retire from the Spurs. Trade Kawhi for Mugsey Boggs rights. We could use a tiny PG. Send Danny Green to someone anyone for a 2 round draft pick between 50 and 60. Fire Pop the best NBA coach out there, but fire him anyway. Blame Bonner because SJax turns the ball over. Blame Blair because he missed a shot or didnt get every rebound.
Ok guys get over yourselves. Most of you know little or nothing about the damn game against Portland or for the matter the game of basketball in general. Has there ever been an undefeated team in the NBA? no. Get over the loss and move on. BTW pardon my use of vulgar language, it just seemed necessary to show the dumb posts that have been on here. Especially the original poster.
Well we're most likely losing tomorrow night too, so technically it's 2 games.. but yea, everyone's overreacting.
OMG we lost without our MVP player!!!! The Spurs are done! Some of you people on this site are hilarious.
Did he really?
He should be pinked or something if that's true.
The Spurs didn't lose at home to Portland in 2005 OR 2007, & Manu wasn't on the team in 1999. So you lose.
<edit> The only game we lost to the Blazers at home with both DRob and Manu on the team was in early Nov 2002, the game where Bonzi spit on Danny Ferry, so that's got to be the game you're talking about...

Also, the Spurs weren't anywhere close to a championship team in November or December 2002. They literally teetered just above .500 for the first couple months or so of that season -- injuries, frustrated young players, injuries, players being juggled in and out of the starting lineup (especially at the SG position) bad calls, injuries, insane superstar performances on the other side, injuries, and "WTF will we do after DRob's gone?" absolutely killed us the first 2 1/2 months of that season, as we limped to a 19-13 start. Fortunately, after that everything came together at the right time, Timmy had his most dominant 5 months of his career, the Lakers were old and injured that year, the Kings suffered injuries late and the Mavs faded out to end that season allowing us to win 60 games and then in the playoffs Timmy wasn't about to let David lose his last season.
oh off dude.
Nice edit. Thats the one. Yep we were flat out awful. A championship team. I watched it and we were simply horrific. A better team that was flat out awful at home.
