It's quite aggravating to log onto ST after a loss. Your team just had an 19 game winning streak, and you want to quit on the team at the first sign of adversity. Sure the thunder may have our number this year; however, it's April not May. A fifth game in 7 nights and we led for the first half. They didn't just come out and destroy us from the tip. Plus, it's not even a sure thing we would face them in the playoffs. This team is better than last year. Can we just enjoy what may be TD's last season, and not quit on the team when we don't have a double digit win streak? Is that too much to ask ST?

I created the official meltdown thread hoping to contain it.
It was entirely predictable. Best to use these things to identify posters that you can scroll through in the future.It's quite aggravating to log onto ST after a loss.

A truly fruitless endeavor.
Ugh, no. This is what happens when the Spurs get swept by a better team and conceited Spurs fan try to spin it as if the Spurs wanted to lose the game on purpose. The Spurs can't match OKC's athleticism and they don't have shotblockers in the paint. It's easy to say on paper Diaw can shut down Ibaka, Leonard can shutdown Durant and Green can do the same to Westbrook but it never happens that way and their role players can step up and knock down shots. They basically shutdown a healthy Spurs team in the second half without their Parker stopper. If there's a team that doesn't care about HCA, its OKC.
Okc is not the better team. They have better individual talent but we spank them teamwise. And better teams win playoff series.
This loss is meaningless.
Green and Kawhi almost always hold Westbrook and Durant to under their season averages. It's their roleplayers that kill us.
We had a big case of the butterfingers too. Tony made a bunch of plays into the paint where our players just dropped the ball. The issue against the thunder is not the calls, it's the non-call cause those turn into fast break dunks. We also missed alot of easy ones. Seems their in our head a bit. Only Patty and Leonard didn't seem affected. Frog face cant' shoot 68% off the bench forever. It does get old watching us get called for every little think while they hack and fast break all night.
You made my point for me.. Though, I'm glad you're finally admitting OKC was the better team in 2012 eventhough the Spurstalk masses were so arrogant, they were trolling and spamming other message boards with their brilliance and overwhelming confidence.
But yeah, losses are meaningless and wins ae meaningful. At least, that's how its spun. Had the Spurs won, that game would have taken on a whole new meaning and nobody would be calling it meaningless. Maybe, it's just me waiting for Spurs team ball to spank OKC.
We won the first half then CIA Pop pulled the plug. That's without Manu, Baynes, and Bonner
They won the first quarter and the Spurs had to hold on to a 3 point lead going into the half. I'm not sure what you mean without Baynes and Bonner. Those two make no difference in the outcome either way. If the Spurs were trying to mail it in, they would have sat Duncan and Parker. Both started the second half.
agree spurs were on a b2b....spurs didn't have enough left in the tank while okc was well rested
Tony did a lot of plays into the paint but Tiago and Timmy were surrounded by 3 guys it wasnt a butterfingers case they just simply didnt have room to even try to look up.
Excuse # 1,247
This game was a lot better than the previous 3 times. It seemed in the first half, when we were about to blow it open...... a whistle occurred.
okc always seems to get pumped when they play the spurs. we played bad last night but i think we can contain them in a 7 game series where we are focused and it's the playoffs.
yeah, they let the bad/non calls get to them
Once, you start putting it in these terms what you are doing is saying, "I am anonymous dip who is salty and looking to blame and will not accept any explanation that may excuse them."
Once you start talking about excuses you are changing from a substantive discussion to an emotional diatribe. You're asshurt. We get it; now go off.
Hoops Czar trolling his ass off up in here.
It was expected ol' sport. Spurs should be fine come playoff time
You truly are a bonefied, diarrhea of the mouth, Baynes lovin twirp who doesn't know from shinola but acts like a self absorbed monkey who's come to believe 90% of the stink that drools from his airhole.
That's right, I don't make excuses. I don't blame the refs because the Spurs lack the aggression to get to the free throw line in critical situations against defense oriented teams like the Thunder. That's the downfall of shooting perimeter jumpshot and playing against a team with a shotblocking presence in the paint. Refs are human. They aren't going to catch every foul all the time. If you put yourself in a position where the refs can alter the outcome of the game, then you have nobody to blame but yourelf. Stop turning the ball over and hit your damn shots.
I don't blame Stern because the Spurs have to play 5 games in 7 days. All teams go through tough stretches. It's not a conspiracy to keep the Spurs from reaching the finals. I don't hear your tank mouth spouting off when the Spurs win those 5 games in 7 nights the majority of the time. No, that's when it becomes all about the depth. Only when the Spurs lose a game does the word "tired" enter the frey. Outside of Duncan and Ginobili, the team isn't that old and Pop does a great job managing minutes throughout the season.
Btw, I don't think you know what a diatribe is which in part, is why you're so damn clueless.
