Its been a trend where a team plays us then gets ted on the next night by a terrible team
happened to Indiana and Houston also after playing us
Spurs also underestimate their oponents at times which is why they get caught off guard alot of the times.
One could take the Lakers of old. You can say the same about other teams wanting to come up big against them. They often failed because them Lakers used to shut them down with the quickness.

Not like it's a shock that Amir Johnson is good. Problem is that his increased role has made how good he is clear as it appears in the box score, rather than just plus minus numbers. Means it'll take more to get him. Corey, Bonner a first, for Amir works. Could even get Philly to take on Bonner for a second in 2015 or something(As they're under the minimum, paying him doesn't cost the Philly owners anything)
Our two losses to them have been after second night of B2B and without Leonard (several other losses without Splitter). Can't overreact to any one game.
Just like they got the Pacers after beating us the night before, hopefully we even that score with Toronto being exhausted tomorrow night
Making a big to do about nothing. I really think OKC feels emotionally destroyed after losing to the lowly Raptors. I would gladly trade in a loss or two against cellar dwellers for some wins against some elite.
I don't think the Spurs feel emotionally destroyed after losing to anybody in December either, tbh.
With where they have been I would hope not.....
Once again another negative post by you on the Spurs, yet your team is the Cavs..... Do you not have your own problems with your team to talk about or is it that boring 100% of the time to always on our fave team in here?
You don't know me at all. My favorite team is the Utah Jazz with the Bobcats being a close second. My all-time favorite player is Steven Adams. Remember him? The guy who p'wned Splitter.
Edit: HH37 is a Heat fan with the favorite team name being the Spurs. You're reading too much into things.
Edit 2: Yes, bad losses lead to negative posts.

Fair enough............
helps a lot. a whole fukin lot.
I was jut thinking the same thing.
BTW I am su ious that Kawhi Leonard's dental emergency that caused him to sit the OKC game was Coach Popovich not wanting OKC to get a real look at what they would face in the playoffs.
Considering he's still questionable for tonight's game, and we already played OKC with Kawhi earlier in the year...I doubt it.
Reggie Jackson still had a positive plus minus... That guy is a scary addition no matter how you put it.Not sure whether to laugh or be annoyed at the fact that Reggie Jackson has looked like ing MJ in the two games he's played against us, yet manages to go 1-11 with 3 TOs the following game against Toronto.
Well, at least OKC lost
edit: oh, and one more thing...OKC went 35-36 from the FT line.
Yeah, I'm definitely not happy with how quickly he's progressed. I honestly wasn't scared at all of OKC coming into this season because I figured with the loss of Kevin Martin they'd have no bench scoring. Wasn't expecting Jackson (and to a lesser extent, Lamb) to play this well.
Though I do think Pop should've put Mills on Jackson more. Maybe I'm not remembering things correctly, but I seem to recall Mills guarding Fisher mostly, which is a waste of his aggressive on-ball defense. I think Mills could do a solid job pestering Jackson. Then just have someone else (Belinelli/Ginobili) make sure they stick with Lamb on the perimeter and don't let him get open looks...he's a killer from 3 if you lose him on the perimeter.
b2b /thread
I just wonder how many ugly lucky s like jackson and lamb do they have? Either way them they wont keep it up.
