The Thunder would sweep the Spurs in a playoff series. Not to mention having to get by Portland or Houston. Its been a good run. Time to rebuild.
They're not beating this team in a series. Yeah, the schedule has been brutal lately, Leonard's out, Parker may not be 100%, it's December, etc., but how many times do we need to see the same things against them before we stop making excuses? The ease with which the Thunder play against them speaks volumes.
It's time the front office face reality, stop hoping to get lucky and pulls off a significant trade. There may be nothing they can do to change their standing, but they need to at least try.

familiar tune from robdiaz
Spurs are done. Trade Parker for picks and start thinking about the future. Kwahi isn't a superstar in the making, either. I'd ship him out too before he leaves and we have nothing.

LOL! "time to rebuild."
I really don't care tbh. Pop's fluke offense is easily exposed against good defensive teams. You guys are in denial. Its okay tbh. At least you guys got to experience Spurs championships. No such luck for me. Oh well.
yawn. Spurstalk melting down because we played an elite perimeter scoring team without our best perimeter defender?
OKC only sealed this game with a couple threes off of offensive rebounds. We got the stops, with Kawhi maybe we get the rebound and this is a much closer game.
Spurs scored easily enough on this OKC team. Our defence can only get better with Kawhi back.
I still think it's way too early for any of this talk, but Reggie Jackson has killed the Spurs twice now. The Spurs are also struggling to defend the pick and roll.
It's obvious that Danny is not as good a defender as Kawhi Leonard. The toughness factor needs to be amped up.
TP needs to be more in control and Pop has to devise a way to work Ibaka into bad situations.
On to the next game.
I miss the old board. You NEW S are termites. We used to talk basketball here, but now this board needs TAMPAX.
Spurs make half the layups they missed in the first they prolly win this and that's without Leonard. Don't get me wrong they need to make a trade but only for a backup 3/smallball 4.
scary thing is the league has a serious hard on to hook OKC up with a Championship, so they're going to be a tough team if at full strength.
Not cliff-jumping or anything, but if the Spurs truly want to make it back to the Finals, they do need to pull off a trade. As presently constructed, they will have to hope for some other team to knock off OKC. They simply won't beat them in a playoffs series this season whether they have home court advantage or not. People have been saying for awhile that we need to trade for a backup SF, but in my mind, to beat the Thunder or the Heat we will need another big that can score next to Duncan. He looks pretty damn good this season, but he has regressed just a bit from the guy who was looking to slam it on everyone just a year ago. You can say how valuable Splitter is on the defensive end all you want, but his offense is just pitiful. He has no confidence and only makes the shots that are spoon-fed to him. I don't know who the Spurs can trade for, but I'd like to see someone come in who can actually score down low.
LMFAOOOOOOO using Kawhi's absence as an excuse. What about the other 4 people on the floor that are too old and slow and can't make plays against OKC's length?
Reggie Jackson is doing exactly what James Harden did for the Thunder. Unbeatable when they have a 3rd guy going.
I could agree if unfortunately the same thing happens every damn game against a team elite, small mistakes, defeats, Spurs can not exchange shots against elite teams for 48 minutes because they do not have a consistent scorer is athletic for such, so I wanted so much riding elis here, and so see what he is doing in dallas, maybe derrick williams (who left for anything minessota), spent many athletic guys that could be used in the system to maximize their talents
Solid Basketball take diaz. Educated by ESPN types are the worst
Typical Spurs fan. Pretend the past few years of evidence against them doesn't exist, ignore the trends in those games and pretend it's a one off.
Whatever . . . you'll see in May, if this team finds a way to squeak into the WCF.
Our team lacks athleticism. Whose our most athletic player besides Leonard? Parker? 36 year old Ginobili?
Just look at these games. We can see the Spurs have not been able to overcome the top teams. You have to beat the best to be the best.
Against OKC, 0-2.
Lost to Indiana by more than 10. (Home)
Lost to Clippers by more than 20. (Away)
Lost to Portland by 10. (Away)
Lost to Houston. (Home)
Only team the Spurs have been able to defeat, who aren't even a true elite team, are the Warriors. Both games won by 2 points and 1 point. Curry wasn't playing in the first meeting. And the Warriors just rely on three point shooting. Take that away, and they're an easy team.
Not worried here
We need a Mark Jackson like coach to fire this team up with prayer, best coach in the league, tbh. Per par.
