SHOUT TO THE TRUE SPURS FANS. THERES LIKE A COUPLE DOZEN ON HERE!
The ship jumping has hit a ridiculous all time low. If at the beginning of the season you were told your team would be in the finals tied 1-1 going back to Miami and THE SPURS had home court, would you expect to react the way you are right now? No, you would be ing ecstatic. All playoffs long the ship jumping has been at an absurd level, do you ing lunatics have jobs or hobbies? First, we get Dallas who brings us to the brink and when they were up 2-1 everyone on here was like "Oh man Pops legacy is sure is gonna take a hit if he loses in the first round", "Oh wow, the Spurs the bed in the finals and now they're gonna get eliminated the first round" etc. But what happened? They ing won because they are a tried and tested team who has been there before. Next round we get Portland, okay easy. Than on to OKC where we look great and than stumble and end up tied at 2-2 and I swear half of this board went on suicide watch. You were all CERTAIN that it was over. The team you claim to ing love and root for you gave up on in 4 ing games! You didn't even let the ing series finish before you could start saying "2012 all over again", "Timmy can't compete against these bigs", "Parker is a " etc. etc. etc...
Are you not proud of what your team has done? Are you that clueless to the trolls that come on here to deliberately piss all of you off by saying things like "Oh if Duncan loses and Bron wins, Timmy isn't a top 10 player anymore"....LOL REALLY? NOT EVEN ING LEBRON THINKS THAT. Tim Duncan has NEVER missed the playoffs. Tim Duncan has been to the finals 6 ing times. Jesus people, wake up. Win or lose this will not effect his legacy. Even if the Spurs end up 97/98 Utah Jazz replicas....wanna know something? Those Jazz teams were ING GREAT and EVERY true bball fan still remembers that entire lineup to this day...and they never won a thing.
BUT, this series isn't even over yet and everyone is out. After 1 loss? I get it, LeBron went off, like really went off, but that is what he is supposed to do. The dude took a hit on his career for cramping up overnight and you didn't expect him to respond with a career game? Its fine, he did it, we experienced The LeBron game and we went with it. The Spurs didn't roll over, they absorbed every ing punch and we're in it until the end. Statistics don't need to tell you that that matters. They can compete with these guys. Sure, they missed an incredible opportunity to go up 2-0 but who the said this would be easy? Miami always wins following a game 1 loss, it wasn't gonna stop on the biggest stage. They are the champions for a reason.
Pop was down 2-1, responded to Dallas. Tied 2-2 and responded to OKC. Tied 1-1 now and lets wait and see what happens before you tear apart every single thing the man does. HE is the reason we are here right now and if you don't realize that you are blind as . He has made the right adjustment for every single series so far and for you to think one isn't coming for their trip down to Miami is just absolute craziness. Sorry for ranting but you guys need to show some ing pride. The Spurs didn't get blown out last night, they missed free throws and executed poorly in GAME 2. That is what cost them and they know it...but the key ing word here is GAME 2. This is why teams play best of 7. ING BELIEVE PEOPLE.

Haha dude, when I logged on to Spurstalk this morning I couldn't believe my eyes. We are 1-1 and people are already done. Its so ing strange to me....
This forum is mildly notorious for its cliff jumping and team-and-coach bashing.
It is unpleasant in the extreme, but there are those of us who keep trying to remind folks how lucky we are to be fans of this great team.
Keep up the challenges, though…we need them!!
I know, I have been a reader for years....but to be honest the disgraceful cliff jumping in the finals when your team is tied is unacceptable and needs to be called out. Who the really even thought we'd be back here after last years trauma? Getting here alone is an impressive feat considering in the west you actually have to play good teams to get to the finals.
That's SpursTalk for the most part. Welcome.
Just remember, it's been a long ass time since Miami has lost two games in a row in the playoffs. Both teams could be up 2-0 (or down 0-2) and it wouldn't surprise me.![]()

Yeah, ain't that the truth...
, I was surprised that we even got to the finals LAST year, much less this year!
I'm so thrilled with this team it makes my eyes water sometimes. It is why I can't be on this forum during the games…in the event that a game takes a wrong turn, the vitriol against our own makes me want to hurt people.
Whether or not we win the championship this year, this team will always be a wonderful, classy, talented and entertaining group of men playing the most beautiful bball I have ever seen.
Evay is right that cliff-jumping is rampant after every loss (and some wins, no less). It's part of the scenery. But I like your enthusiasm and you're spot on about how impressive it is for us to get here.
I am of the opinion that despite his 35 and 10 night, we're guarding LeBron exactly right. His assists are down, his effort is up, and I think he'll be taxed as the series wears on. I think Pop has calculated this. All the things in the last game, missed free throws, fouls to Kawhi, LeBron perfect from 3, a slight faltering in the last 2 minutes, and yet we barely lost. I think the Spurs have the Heat in a good position as they are becoming more and more LeBron dependent. (They get blown out per minute when he sits). So, LeBron got big numbers. Let's make him do it EVERY game just to have a chance. Spurs in 6.
CO- ING-SIGNED
Lets go win game 3 in Miami against these es.
SPURS GOT THIS, THEY KNOW WINNING A LE ISNT A CAKEWALK, THIS IS THE FINALS, ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE EASY.
DRIVE FOR FIVE, GO SPURS GO![]()
tl;dr
Typical anti cliff jumping thread
sometimes the finals is the easiest series tbh. (remember the cavs?)
it's a coping mechanism for people with no mental for ude
"i'll predict doom and gloom, and then if it happens i can be like SEE I TOLD YOU...if we win everyone will be so happy they won't give a "
Cavs werent the defending champions, Look to the pistons series for a good example
Edit: Plus, Pheonix was one of a series that year and that was the defacto Finals and everyone knew it
I agree with OP wholeheartedly. But expect a little griping, whining and cliff diving with a grain of salt. People come here to gripe and find a little reassurance in the comments from the little girls who REALLY can't handle a loss. Always makes me feel a little better after a loss. I'm like 'maybe I don't take these losses so hard after all.'![]()
Thank you EVAY for your words!!!! You are correct! SPURS are the greatest and we are lucky to be fans. I LOVE watching SPURS play!

lot of truth to this.
Repped.
But the game before it was "oh we got this, no problem". But thats the breaks when your on a fan forum, I wish it werent so.
