The worst thing about tonight is that they just handed the 2 seed back to the Rockets.
Don't need to be perfect. They weren't perfect last year either. But they stepped up, executed and cut out the mistakes when they needed to, be it game 7 vs Mavs, game 6 vs OKC, game 3 vs Miami after losing HCA, game 5 vs Miami after trailing big early.
the worst thing about that is I hate the ing rockets.
truth bomb
At least they got homecourt. Only the Warriors, Rockets, and Grizzlies will probably get easier matchups in the first round.and the clippers did something similar, only to get their nightmare in the first round
6th seed going for 6. I'm good with it.
I know, right? All those WB double-doubles, rescinded Ts and still going on vacation
Amir's played like a sixth seed all year.
Actually, the Spurs good play down the stretch got them one thing.
If they play LeBron in the Finals again, they have HCA.
It may not seem like much now, but it could look good later. Maybe.
And yet they will play without HCA for the entire playoffs unless they miracle into the Finals and it's not the Hawks out of the east. Sucks man. Just needed one more win and only 2 potential teams would have had HCA on us.
Literally the only brightspot tonight. Spurs eliminate them two years in a row.I know, right? All those WB double-doubles, rescinded Ts and still going on vacation
Yeah, it was just unfortunate that we had to play the Pelicans in their playoff play-in game. But that doesn't change the fact that the Spurs are the hottest team in the NBA of the last 25 games. We're still the most dangerous team that nobody wants to face.
May as well have rested everybody the last couple games. Same ty result.
TMTTRIO was right, Pop should had been resting Manu.
Danny Green for one is probably feeling rested
It's still not too late to shave that beard.
Also, could we wear bleeping black unis on the road.
Splitter will be fine.
But what? No. Either way we're better than Portland.
Our Spurs will try to duplicate what the Rockets did in 1995-1996 season winning the le as 6th seeded team earning them their back to back championships! Coincidence that our Spurs are trying to do the same back to back le! #gospursgo
it is what it is. let's go
Wow, not the fact that the Spurs start finally put it together, but all that work and nothing to show for it. They did. They showed they are still one of the best teams in the NBA and many experts, not saying I care what they think, believe the Spurs will still represent the West because of their recent play.
Everyone was ing and hoping the Spurs could turn it around after that 4 game losing streak. They do, and they still continue to .
No one cares what the experts think. The fact of the matter is they went all-out to get HCA in at least one round and ended up falling short and into the worst-case scenario: playing the second-hottest team in the first round without homecourt while being gassed and injured.
They went all out. What are you talking about. They just played Spurs basketball and started putting things together. Read my posts after that 4 games losing streak, I wouldn't be least surprise if they put together a run like they did last year because they were finally healthy.
Gassed, dude, the Spurs were just coasting until the end of February. They aren't exhausted. Nobody was playing major minutes. Pop was still managing minutes. You sound like they knew they were going to be in this scenario. They just played Spurs injury free basketball and the wins just came with it.
Wow, the meltdown of people after one loss. Brings me back to when the Spurs were down 2-1 to the Mavs. This team wants another. Pop just gave the game away last night. Probably to avoid the Mavs and to stick it to OKC. If there is one team in this league that can win 4 straight series w/o HC out west, its the Spurs.
Clippers are hot. They had a cakewalk of a schedule after the allstar break. They are not hot. Clippers had their toughest schedule mid season where they lost all those games to playoff teams. It was the reverse of the Mavs schedule, who had all theses cakewalk EC teams at the beginning of their season, Clippers had a bunch of these at the end of their season.
