The Thunder have flaws tbh (Not having Spurs killer Beard being the main one). We can win the series.
If we win a le this year or get deep I will shake your hand! You are a good fan! I want to believe! MAN this team makes it so tough though! The past 4 years or so have me just nervous to say they can win it all! I know you feel the same way at times. I want #5 so bad! I really do. I wish this team can put it together and make it to that promised land! This past few weeks makes me nervous and I don't know if they can there, but I hope so. I really want to believe.Well do not bank on that 1st seed anymore as we have OKC coming up this week and they can beat us at home IMO without Manu! If we need the #1 seed then why even mention it, they might not have it by the end of the week to be honest! I do want to believe, but you said we need HC against OKC and right now honestly that does not seem likely.

we aren't clawing for a playoff spot. as the playoffs near, i just want to see the team be able to play good, playoff style ball. i didn't see that against Miami, unfortunately, but I did see it plenty today. we were just undermanned at the end. the OKC game is the only game on the schedule left that I really care about
I worded it wrongly tbh..inebriation.
The Spurs chances at defeating OKC rise exponentially if they have homecourt. We can win on the road. We've seen it over the years plenty of times. IIRC, we should have won game 4 had spearchucker Ibaka not had the flukiest shooting game of his life. We can win in OKC and we can beat OKC this year. Them trading Harden changes a big dynamic of the series.
I know how u feel, i am pissed too(Heat/Rockets/Memphis games), but i think this team is better build to the post season than the previous ones:
1- We are tall(No Blair/Bonner[i hope])
2- We have good defenders(None of our top 8 players[TP/Manu/Kawhi/TD/Splitter/Green/Jack/Diaw] is a liability on D)
3- This is Duncan best season in years
4- This is the best Tony ever...
5- OKC lost Beardo/Clippers rely a lot on CP3
Bad games happen...And isn't like we lost by 20+ vs good teams, we lost close games...
Maybe it's a good thing for the Spurs to go through some adversity. You need to learn to overcome adversity to be able to win a championship. If you ask me, went too smoothly last year, all of a sudden there was a bit of trouble in the WCF and boom, we lost 4 straight. If we can overcome this and get through and improve over the next 8 games and learn how to rebound from a loss i think we'll be in better stead then we were last year going into the playoffs.
And also, we've been playing like crap and our last 3 losses have been by a combined 5 points against playoff teams with 2 of the losses being on the road. It's not all bad.
+1.
I agree wholeheartedly with last year's pre-surge going into the playoffs (winning 10 games). We peaked at the wrong time imo. Had we been peaking in time for the WCF, we probably would have won.
TRUE, I can't argue there.
There are fans out there that would sell a kidney to see their team in the conference finals. But don't worry...the lottery years/transition years are right around the corner and I'm sure you will either commit suicide or find another team to root for. Both seem to be desirable outcomes so good luck with whatever you choose.
And yes, the Spurs will be OK. Enjoy the ride and stop being so spoiled. It's not like they are barely out of the lottery like the Lakers.
^ at this point if the spurs reach the finals, i consider it as if they won the championship
last year was the year when everything came together, manu was healthy offense was clicking, td played his best basketall in a couple of years and it wasnt enough
I've been saying all along they have a bad taste in their mouths from last season and are so ready for the playoffs that you won't see what they can really do till then. I believe we'll see a super focused team thur.
Lost to Miami with three of their starters sidelined. Again, A blown 4th quarter lead and can't get one defensive stop when they absolutely have to have one and your response is they nearly beat the Grizzlies with two starters out. Just how clueless can you get.Very nearly beat the Grizzlies in Memphis with 2 starters out - nothing to worry about here.
Harlem with the goods.
PS I predict that this season's playoffs will truly signify Kawhi's arrival. Prepare for the onslaught.
The Mavs also had at least 4, Marion, Chandler, Kidd, Stevenson, Brewer possibly.
you're jumping to conclusions on my Spurs' fandom. you have no idea what you're talking about.

last year i was perfectly fine with reaching the WCF because NO ONE thought we would even compete but this year i thought we legitimately had/have a chance to win it all with another year under the belt of Tiago/Kawhi. this year is all or nothing for me.
Do you mean like Miami and OKC fans or are you just being fickle? There's nothing wrong with having high expectations. It could be that some fans just care a little bit more than others. I also don't know any fan that would shorten their lifespan to see the Spurs lose in the WCF's for a second straight year unless they were selling sombody else's kidney.

He's a converted Heat fan trolling the Spurs board. What he's said since 2010 is completely irrelevant.
Sounds like a job for the EC. ^^^^
I thought the Spurs could beat LA in 2008
Predicted the Spurs would lose in the 1st round in '09(easy prediction)
Made a thread predicting the Suns would beat the Spurs in 2010
Thought Spurs-Memphis would be a toss-up and the Spurs weren't a legit contender in 2011
Predicted the Spurs would lose to OKC last year
I've been really accurate with my Spurs predictions, tbh..
Spurs just hit a wall...have to regourp...
Everyone is freaking were playing horrible. And we have the SECOND best record in the entire NBA..
I agree with you fully here and I have been saying this. This Spurs will be fine stuff and it will just magically come together during the playoffs is not reality. Reality is somewhere in between, some too extreme in here and some too negative but what you said is dead on. There is a real problem with the Spurs on O and D late in games, playoffs will not just magically fix that with the same personell.You are a realist then, bet you got bashed then and some told you to get off the waggon blah blah blah. You were right and see reality when it comes to this team. I think they can go far this year IF they are fully healthy and get back to say mid January ball they were playing, if not forget it.
