So we are going to lose to the first round to the Mavs

[SpurYank]

Things (luck?) are falling into place for the Spurs. Neither the Thunder or the Rockets match well against their current opponents, meaning we may be facing Portland and the Grizzlies (or the Clippers/Warriors) if we get past the Mavericks.

Then we'll face the Wizards for the NBA le. (Why not? They are playing as well as any team, and they have a fantastic back court. And bad news for the rest of he league, they are a VERY YOUNG BACK COURT.)

If Spurs win this series (which they still should) some posters should be banned, or at least pinked.

+1

I don't mind the loss. It was sloppy throughout and the Spurs deserved to lose. The thing that sucks most is how they wasted an incredible game by Manu.

I think you can't call it incredible when has twice the amount of turnovers as anyone else.

[Cry Havoc]

Ahem.

I should've saved some of my reverse jinxing for the Blazers series. We didn't really need all those points today.

Yes we did. Was nice to make a statement to Cuban and co.

Don't pull this "cliff jumper" . This team has found a new way to melt down every season since '10. Only a blind homer would have faith in this team at this point.

cliff jumper

[ducks]

Spurs have brought back the same team as last year so don't expect them to advance far without easy matchups and/ or injuries to the other top teams like they got last year.

Bringing back the same team with an exchange of a couple or role players is not improving the team.

now he post spurs will win it all
IDIOT

This, this, and more this.

You would think Pop, Mr 3 time COY, "coach of the century" according to Carlisle, etc, instead Pop is doing Carlisle's laundy, and cooking him dinner per par.

Spurs run into the THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IN THE POSTSEASON FOR 5 OR 7 YEARS, AND YET POP STILL CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT.

I swear, Pop is the most brilliant, yet re ed drunk I've ever seen.

Mavs should be up 2-0 if it wasn't for TD bailing Pop out per par.

Parker is so invisible I forget he even plays for the Spurs.

Patty Mills has 0 confidence all of a sudden.

Belli can't shoot or dribble, but is eager to fill up the his turnover stat sheet.

Kawhi looks like some wide eyed D leaguer, with no clue how to dribble, how to shoot, when to shoot, etc. Also looks like crap on D, giving up whatever to whoever he guards.

Green looks like some brilliant gym shooter, that never played in actual games, and has no idea what to do when his run off the 3 point line.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think this was the WNBA Stars, and all having some group pms.


This ain't cliff jumping to the morons who think playoff games are expendable. Bet you all thought that about Game 6, that the Spurs would get the Heat in 7, didn't you?

Well, they didn't, and not even even great TD could save the sorry, choking Spurs from that embarrasment.

And here it is, happening again. The Mavs have embarrased the Spurs this series: doing to the Spurs what the Spurs normally do to other teams. Again, if Dirk didn't have an off night in Game 1, they'd be up 2-0, but hey, not big deal, it's only 2 losses, right?

Spurs are chokers and Pop is the head of the choking snake. Again, be glad you got TD, or the Spurs wouldn't even know what a banner was, let alone a ring.

We'd better enjoy, because the Spurs will NEVER WIN A LE POST DUNCAN: EVER.

Classic. Is this serious or reverse jinx?

[therealtruth]

It looks like the Spurs have finally figured out how to handle aggressive defenses. We sure could have used it a couple of years ago.

3-1
I would expect them to win.

They did not improve on last years team, stayed the same.

They got lucky with the Ibaka injury and getting spotted two games with a big lucky injury break in that series.

on owing up to your initial cliff jump... a whole lot of us were scared of this and if they said they weren't they are lying.

Shut up .

[Knoxxx]

Shut up .

Must agree. The quoted poster fails to account for the many times we had unlucky injuries. Now that our older guys are healthy and playing just fine 7 years later, it is obvious we got some unlucky injury breaks.

Injuries are part of the game and nobody could give a crap, a win is a win is a win is a championship is a championship is a championship.

Bird man isn't himself and the Heat could really use him. Well too bad he's old, fat, a little hurt, and lost his athleticism. We know what happens to big men that over rely on athleticism when they enter their mid-30s. They drop off quickly.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

What a pathetic, no confidence, loser ass team. The instant someone figures out an antidote to their system, they become undone mentally. You could see it from the first minute of the series. The fact that a team as flawed as the Mavericks, who clearly wanted no part of them, have gained the upper hand mentally almost immediately speaks volumes.

They got lucky down the stretch of game one; otherwise, they've looked like a bunch of playoff neophytes, playing ragged and scared, all while the genius coach (who, in two years, has yet to effectively figure out how to counter a switching defense) sits there looking clueless and continuing to run out a regular season rotation.

They're more than likely still going to win this series, but it's obviously not going to happen in five, which makes it a virtual loss in the grand scheme of things.

But but but we were regular season champs


same every season since 2007

Some of the gems

COTY almost looks like he's done sadly

Shoutout to Manu for blowing Timmy's last chance at a 5th championship
