please leave tp on the bench, let him rest for westbrook

[Fireball]

We don't have HCA, only one team seeded lower than 4 has ever won the le, and other teams ahead of us have an easier schedule than us the rest of the way. Meanwhile, we're losing to inferior team's like the Knicks in March, while choking games against elite teams. There's a pretty good reason to be worried.

absolutel agree here ...

[Malik Hairston]

in the end Atlanta does not have much motivation right now ... so we beat an EC team, but WC playoff teams are dominating us ... all of them

Atlanta was also playing their 1st game back home after a 6-game road trip..teams generally play poorly on their 1st game back after a road trip, so that win is a little skewed..

Shoot the damn ball Kawhi!

I hope everyone on Dallas dies. Definitely my most hated team in the NBA.

[tholdren]

you splitter

[SpurPadre]

That said, I'm not cliffjumping. I just have the proper level of concern.

[Robz4000]

that call

[Budkin]

Man we are lucky as we won Game 7 last year against these guys.

[UZER]

Harris is always hitting 3s And jumpers against the Spurs...all the way back to 06.

Dude can't hit until he plays against SA.

they will, eventually

[Budkin]

Spurs got full of themselves after the Hawks game and then the 1st quarter. Thought they would just coast the rest of the game.

The Spurs are just inconsistent. They still aren't anywhere near where they need to be, though. Patty and Tony being the biggest concerns

[SASdynasty!]

check out my 3rd qtr thread tbh

They blew them out game 7, was not close. Why do you say that exactly?

Last years Spurs were better though, no doubt about it at all. This team is frustrating this year and all over the place, no consistency at all.

I agree 100% and yes that is a huge concern. 13 games left and they still look like this? One game they appear to be back or even two or so, then they go and do this after a big 1st Q. Very frustrating team to watch this year, period.

It's not really cliff-jumping this year, tbh..

People were absolutely cliff-jumping the past 2 years when they were concerned, as this team did look dominant during the regular season and didn't have too much mileage on them..it was foolish to doubt them, as I said many times..

This year, considering all the mileage from the past 2 years + the fact that they're still playing inconsistent basketball in March, there's no reason to believe the Spurs are anything more than a wildcard contender(meaning, if everything comes together in time, they can contend), it's not cliff-jumping IMO..

The sad part is that this is the first time we played them all year with a full team and they annihilate us.

patty final making a shot

[SASdynasty!]

I'm done defending Parker...

[ElNono]

Paddy!

[NASpurs]

I'll gladly take the loss if it means Patty gets his rhythm back.

[spurtech09]

[SASdynasty!]

I'm done defending Parker...

...until next game.

I just mean they gave us everything they had. Yes I know we were much better last year.

This tbh.
