The very next game when we blew them out and humiliated them in SA is when the reporter asked Kenyon in the locker room what happened when they were the favorites to win game 2 and he said, "liar. Ain't nobody think we could get no win here but us."I distinctly remember 2007, when we played the Nuggets in the 1st round of the playoffs. They won game 1 and a prominent Denver columnist wrote about how we were done, how they were going to eliminate us because "they weren't satisfied with one win".
We promptly handed them their ass in the next 4 games.
it it was a classic classic spurs moment
Sleeping != cliff jumpingMost Spurs fans sleep on the Spurs, too, to be fair..
See: last year when the Spurs were losing to other "elite" teams early in the season
See: last year after Vince Carter's buzzer beater
See: 2 years ago when the Warriors series was 1-1
So Spurs fans fall asleep after every loss according to your definition.

It's not that hard to understand. Everybody knows that some day age has to catch up with them. They've been talking about it so long, and sooner or later it has to happen. The problem this year was that they lost a bunch of games that they really should have won. It looked like they were either running out of gas or mentally burned out. And since these Spurs are known for being mentally tough, it's pretty easy to think that maybe, finally, they really are reaching the end.
It's only been a few years since they won 61 games and then got -hammered in the first round. (That year, most of the people here thought they were going to breeze through the playoffs.) The next year they had two 11 game streaks, and then a 20 game streak that extended though the first two games of the WCF. They sure as looked worn out in those last 4 games against OKC. You can't be surprised that people think, "This year is finally going to be it."
The Spurs have been defying logic for 6-7 years. They're to the point now that it's like they're defying gravity. You just can't do that.
Sooner or later, time just has to catch up with the Big 3. When it does, there are going to be some people saying, "I told you so." I won't be one of them. They proved me so wrong this season, that right went out the window. This team is playing incredible ball right now. The one thing I would like is to see them have that ability to just shut down the other team for 5 minutes, in the fourth quarter. That was what let them "win ugly" on nights when their shots weren't falling. That would make them just about unstoppable. They're close at times, but not like the old days.
I don't have any problem admitting that I thought they didn't have the juice this season. That's just based on the way they were playing
Actually, the cliff-jumping wasn't that bad here this season, tbh..
It was probably the least worried Spurs fans on SpursTalk have been in a long, long time..probably still content with last year's le..
I cant blame people for cliff jumping in 2014. That was such a roller coaster ride of a season and there was so much pressure to get redemption that that caused the highs and lows of the team to get magnified 10 fold. There is a lot of pressure in a championship or bust kind of season.
TMAC just picked us to repeat. Either he's secretly lobbying to be our human victory cigar again or he finally got his eyes straightened.
5 more days to sign TMac. Cut Williams and bring in TMac!
The first example might be "sleeping", the second was just cliff-jumping after it looked like the Mavs were going to go 2011 Memphis on all our asses, and I distinctly recall how poor the Spurs looked in Games 1 and 2 against Golden State in '13 and thought there was no way in they weren't going to get thrashed. Game 3 was a complete surprise to me, tbh.Most Spurs fans sleep on the Spurs, too, to be fair

Definitely just this.
It's really weird that they are getting this much recognition ;lol
They are the defending champs, have the league's best win streak heading toward the playoffs, and one of their players (star-driven league) has been on an MVP-caliber tear for the last month and a half. I know the Spurs usually get "slept on", but there's just too many storylines for the media to latch onto. Keep in mind March Madness is over, so the only thing competing for sports coverage is a singular event...the NFL Draft.
Bottom Line: Spurs are just in a prime position to get talked about, which is weird but pretty awesome.
I don't dislike TMac, but I'd rather bring back Willis...my favorite all-time human victory cigar. $20 says he's still bigger and stronger than Aron Baynes at like 55yrs old.
Except Roberto, ST has been quite quiet waiting patiently the come back of Tiago, the end of Kawhi injuries etc...
Spurs fans were a bit satisfied like the Spurs, now everybody seems to be revigorated smelling blood before POs
its kinda compliment, you stayed hungry and sharp from RS tip off tbh
