but but its a fluke
but but its a fluke
Green has only ever been a 3&D guy. If fans expect more, they need to start lowering their expectations. He's still shooting 3s at 40% which is all you can realistically ask from him on offence. The defence will be there when we need it.
It's really simple. Okc wins those matchups and in a 7 game series that alone is a decided advantage.
There wont be an important trade, front office wants to win with pennies, when was last time? 2007? that was ages ago.
His per minute averages are up, but he's also getting more shots because Martin left. He's still only shooting 31% from 3, we'll see if that continues or trends back towards his 22% average of the past 2 years, but either way he's still a poor 3 point shooter by NBA standards. He's improved but lets not start telling ourselves this kid is an All Star guard who will tip the balance of a 7 game series because of a couple of good games early in the regular season.No, I mean its not like Reggie Jackson is improving as a player this season.
lol at cliffjumpers in December. If the Spurs ever face the Thunder in the playoffs, it'll go seven games.
I am just bummed right now
I think the Spurs real problem is their defensive philosophy. We tend to double the other teams best player(s) when they come inside the paint, which leaves wide-open 3 point shooters on the perimeter. You saw it all night tonight with Ibaka, Lamb, Jackson, and even Durant getting wide-open 3's because were doubling somebody important inside. How many times do we have to watch our guys running at a wide-open 3 point shooter before we change our defensive scheme?
If we can't defend one-on-one then we don't deserve to win. It makes me sick that we always rely on the other team to make mistakes (miss shots) instead of playing straight up defense and not leaving everything up to chance. Don't make them beat you. Beat them.
With okc winning game 7 in okc the way Miami won in 7 in Miami. This team needs more talent to compete
This, Reggie Jackson is the difference between this year and last (even with Westbrook, we still may have had a chance).
I dunno who's in denial. You've been telling us how flawed the Spurs are every season, yet they've been contending for at least the past two seasons.Typical Spurs fan: Lacking reading comprehension, making excuses and living in denial.
Except for perhaps Miami, there are no loaded teams in the NBA anymore. For the Spurs it's either what we have or being a lottery team.
If you were a OKC fan, I bet you would be ing too... "Look at all the talent we have and no rings to show for it! We should be beating an old team like the Spurs by 20!", etc etc etc
The Spurs are a work in progress, with the goal set to be the best team they can be come April. It will either work out or it won't. December games can only tell you so much.
Tank.
Yeah, this guy play the Obi Wan role, but then Spurs fall and try to play it cool.
There is no enough talent on this team, they need to get a good Big, but the problem will always be Porker, dude doesnt have court vision.
Pop will never get that, thats why this team doesnt get since 2007, parker is not the better player.
Eat more tacos and burritos, little Messican
Not trying to feed the trolls or anything like that but this is championship team or bust and we know this. A lot happened last year that went our way and we had a great chance to win won but last years success doesn't mean anything to this season. The only thing that does is the offseason moves that have lead us to this position over the last few years. We have a small window for continued success before either injury gets us, big 3 fall off or more teams get better thru draft and trades. We made shots tonight but defensively we are crap against teams who field good perimeter shooters and can play defense. I don't think that is something we can just flip a switch and shut down teams. Defense and rebounding win championships and we don't have enough of that.
Didn't read what the OP said, but I'm sure it had something to do with ingesting significant amounts of semen from multiple givers over a very short period of time.

Amen! The Biggest mistake in June 2013 wasn't a missed rebound. It was failing to trade green and splitter while their value was still high
So if Manu and Kawhi go 2/2 in Game 6 instead of both going 1/2 and we win the le, that makes Parker a better player?
Is this forum anything but trolls, idiots or both?
And what? I'm 6'1 195 and would beat the out of you.Latino
I didn't think we played hard enough on defense tonight. Generally, the Spurs rank pretty well on D (you can always do better), so on that aspect I'm not going to knee jerk over a game or two. Sometimes the other team will just shoot well, and that is that. We've been on the other side of the same coin too.
It's just difficult to tell with this team at times. Last season we ended up losing a bunch of games at the end, and in hindsight it was clearly coasting.
We might not even end up playing OKC in the playoffs...
