Spurs: Spurs Should Not Be in the Second Round

[Reck]

If you ever were a top of the line athlete in tip top shape you'd know it only takes a few days to get out of shape in reference to compe ion shape.

Also, stomach virus tells me that Tim shat himself a couple nights ago and that he was probably dehydrated.

Pop is forcing it big but they do better small against this team. Pop is going to go with Tim regardless, win or lose, because that's more important to Pop than getting to the next round.

I give Tim a pass even without the stomach virus. Manu too sonce he can barely walk nowadays. I'm referring to the more younger guys on this team. Parker, Green, Leonard and co have no excuses.

Those guys on the Warriors went balls deep from game one even though they had like 3 days of rest and even when tired home boys Curry and Thompsom went berserk tonight.

Leonard has been fine.

It's not new that the team with a week off often struggles in the 1st few games. We seem to forget that little tidbit every year. The Spurs did best when they were playing b2b2b last year, however because they had rest in the playoffs, the Clippers went up by 20+ on them, but the Spurs recovered. It happened a couple of times. These old/young teams have a window of time they can rest before they become rusty, and a window of time they can play before they become exhausted. It's about rhythm, and the Warriors play an up tempo game. The Spurs try to walk the ball up and feed the bigs but that doesn't do if you cannot defend at the other end and the Warriors are running a hybrid of the SSOL (which they are).

agree on everything you said in this post but if i remember correct, you said just last night that the spurs would have no chance to get past the 2nd round this year? i guess its common for well-educated people to oscillate between different ideas imho

They have no chance. Where in my post did I indicate differently?

That's an upgrade. I can lose weight, can't lose age.

I don't think it's crazy that this team makes the finals tbh. The other three teams have massive holes too. This isn't the Western Conference where you had to go through Shaq, Nowitzki, and the Kings. Once Westbrook went down the conference became a coin-flip and honestly, I wouldn't be all that surprised by any of the four teams still standing getting the chance to play fluffer to Miami.

This tbh.

OP is overreacting per par.

Or can I say Thunder doesn't deserve to be here too because Durant has acne? Or how about the Warriors, they have a got in their team bet they don't deserve to be in the 2nd round right?

The only reason Spurs are in the 2nd round is because they faced the Lakers, who shouldn't have been in the playoffs.

Yall act like were going up against a juggernaut. Yes, the Spurs are flawed and stand no chance against the Heatles but yall cant sit there and tell me that GS plays a winning brand of basketball either. Even with as good of shooters as they are, relying on outside shooting as heavily as they do is a recipe for disaster.

[hater]

I called them out before the 1st round. Though they play a system and play it well, they are stacked with ty players and in the playoffs those ty players stink it up. Bonner, Neal, Green (yeah he hit some outside shots last night) all are just pawns on the floor. Tim is too slow to keep up with the Warriors, and Manu's body has deceived his mind. He cannot do what he used to do. Parker is a one man show basically, and that's never going to work against a team that's 80% offense. Teams that rely on their PG to score all the points are not going anywhere.

Had the Lakers been healthy, I doubt the Spurs see the 2nd round. They certainly won't see the next round.

The Warriors are a flash in the pan. They won't go past the next round if they get there. They remind me of the GSW that beat Dallas, shooting lights out but no defense. Spurs missed every outside shot in the 1st half and still have 43 points.

Spurs are slow, they're done. They were done 4 years ago. No one told them yet. That shows just how ty the league is that the Spurs can consistently be 1st or 2nd in the West at the end of the season.

The Lakers/Celtics era of the NBA has evolved into the Thunder/Heat era.

lol, just when I thought OKC fans had toned down on their massive homerness.

Still funny?
