Pop Proclaiming Seeding Doesn't Matter Gonna' Bite Him in the A-- This Time

[Skull-1]

I bet he wishes he had gone all in the last game of the season for the second seed...

I know we usually lose Game One of a Series (well, at least until 2012), but this looks bad. HCA MATTERS no matter what Pop says. We are in trouble.

[Skull-1]

Shameless bump. Bookmark it for later.

I don't know why he would tempt the gods... Why? After a season like this? Ugh.

Is that what's called a "selfie"?

[RD2191]

Yeah, that Pels game was brutal.

[hater]

Yeah, that Pels game was brutal.

yup

I called it 6th seed = death

[RD2191]

yup

I called it 6th seed = death

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Pels game was the worst loss since Game 6, as it really screwed the Spurs for the playoffs.

[FkLA]

His little ho hum at ude towards that game still pisses me off. Yeah, he's the GOAT but he didn't get there by being an arrogant asshole like he was for that game.

[dabom]

Enrique showed up for the pels game.

[Skull-1]

yup

I called it 6th seed = death

Oh man, so true....

Esp. considering our LOSING record on the road...

Yep.

Agreed.

[Leetonidas]

22-19 is a losing record?

Jesus you cliff jumpers are annoying. Same every year after every single loss. Can't anyone exercise some self control instead of whining like a on ST?

[DesignatedT]

Did you even watch the Spurs this season? Pop did everything he could do win games this year. He rested way less than in previous years. He was obviously trying to go for the highest seed.

[Blake]

yup

I called it 6th seed = death

No reason for you to watch any more of the games then huh

[The Reckoning]

You're either the best or you aren't.

Seriously... I think Duncan "rested" what maybe 3-4 games? PLaying guys on b2b's, etc... He was trying to win. Just took a while for stuff to gel

58-59 on the road in the Duncan era. 8-14 this season against playoff teams.


Suck that.

[Skull-1]

You would laugh like a knee jerk idiot instead of letting the facts cause you to blush.

[Skull-1]

Sure pulled the plug in 82.


82 is the new 6.

The Spurs laid an egg in the last game of the season, but I suppose some folks weren't paying attention to the 11 games before that. Pop didn't want a 6 seed. We finished 5 games ahead of Dallas. He could have rested half the squad the last week and a half of the year and still been the 6 seed.

But what are you going to say if you're the coach..."Well, I guess we're screwed now!" Of course you're going to downplay the seeding and say it doesn't matter.

Now the Spurs have to get a little mojo back and win it like men.

He downplayed it but was way too y. The Fates will not be happy about that.

[ElNono]

Of course HCA would've been nice, but we laid too many eggs throughout the season. That's history now.

We're playing against the Clippers and we can still beat them and move on. That's all that matters.

You didn't learn anything from being a pussy and quitting on the team when we were down against Dallas last playoffs, tbh?

[Beaverfuzz]

Is that what's called a "selfie"?

I think it's called a facial, as in the OP removed his lower ribs for a facial.

No, of course not. What kind of question is that? There are people here who start giving up on the team during the first quarter of the first game of the preseason. There will always be cliff jumpers.

We got lucky. This is a different animal entirely.
