Your takes suck.
I hate to say this, but the Spurs are done as championship contenders. We're 0-7 against other contenders this year (OKC, Indiana, LAC, and HOU). Our record is fool's good -- we beat up teams like the Magic, Bucks, and Pelicans. We can't close out games like we used to.
A list of notable late game collapses from recent memory...
2013 Game 6 vs. Miami (Finals): Spurs up 5 w/ 28 seconds to go (with the Larry O'Brien being wheeled out), missed free throws down the stretch and defensive rebounds
2012 Game 6 vs. OKC (WCF): Spurs blow a 16 pt lead and a 2-0 lead
2011 Game 1 v. Memphis: Shane Battier left open for a three
2006 Game 7 v. Dallas: up 3 in the waning moments before Dirk get's fouled (and 1)
13 pts. in 35 seconds: Tracy McGrady (former Spur) puts up 13 pts in the last 35 seconds to beat us
2004 v. LA series: blows a 0-2 lead (with home court advantage)
2000s (Shaq + Kobe): I'm too upset to actually look it up, but there was one game in either 2001 or 2002 in which we blew a 20 pt lead
Should I go back any further or is this enough ether for one post?
We need to blow it up now. Trade Parker while he can still yield 1st round picks and start the rebuilding process now. Throw a 5mill/year deal at Larry Brown of SMU (whom Pop has great respect for) and start grooming him for the future of this franchise.
Your takes suck.
Best poster...
The Pinking
Jesus ing Christ!! Can't we just enjoy the win tonight????
I met larry brown in san marcos at a texas state basketball game, hes a good man,
he had Eric snow and a couple other x nba players as his assistants.
Is it a collapse if we still win? It was on the road and we didn't give a about the game. I'd be more worried about our effort but it is early January. Seriously, why give a ? We won and Duncan had another magnificent game. We should all cherish his last remaining games, even more so because he is still playing really well.
Some of your examples are from when the Spurs were still a good team.
It may not be what you WANT TO HEAR, but what you NEED to hear. We need to get younger and more athletic. Look at what the Raptors have done. Look what the Clippers, OKC, and Blazers are doing...
Raptors
Spurs beat them by 13 points in both games that they played them.
They've beaten Indiana and OKC last week and took Portland and HOU into OT and kept it close with Miami. Let me know when we beat an elite team.Raptors
Spurs beat them by 13 points in both games that they played them.
We will win next friday in a home game against Portland even without Tiago. Book it.
I don't post for a month if we do.
Clippers and Houston aren't contenders though
Good, and feel free to make me eat crow if we lose.
I don't even know why you guys are upset at me. I'm just the messenger. We could have had 8 les by now if we knew how to close out games and a five peat from 2003-2007.
mute with the trolling goods
News flash mute. Even if you are the best team and "know" how to close out games, winning championships is not a given. You can't nit pick and say "We could have done this and won the championship this year or done that and won the championship that year." There were fortunate breaks for us in our championship years and unfortunate breaks in our empty years, but that goes for every team, especially the best ones.
Both funny and poignant! Enjoy this while you can folks!! Jeez.....we won!
He is PlayNando spiritual succesor
Mute: incoherent babbling
