I guess we avoided the embarrassment of losing to the Rockets or Warriors.
They would have had to play the Clippers anyways, and this series shows homecourt wouldn't have meant anything. The Clippers were the better team now that Tony regressed to being Smush Parker.

Seems like cp3 would still be better. As Harlem says, last year the spurs were better when Parker didn't play. This year I didn't see that. Our bench never had the mill switch engaged.that had nothing to do with Parker.
Haha mill switch...I meant mill switch but the mistake was on point
Minus Manu, if they can keep the same gang together, nurture the injuries and shooting inconsistencies, and possibly pick up a big like LaMarcus Aldridge or Gasol, we'll be in good shape. Spurs are not the old haggard team the media makes us out to be. Plenty of youth
The whole season just seemed to be snakebit, almost from the jump. Rarely healthy with a strong dose of complacency help with that.
With all of that, they were literally one missed FT from being the #2 seed and likely making a run to the conference finals again and, even as the 6 seed, were a play away from winning 3 road games in a single series and a road Game 7. Somehow, the close calls were there all year and seem like a fitting theme for the season. The Clippers series was a pretty good summary of the season -- an uphill slog the whole way that got them really, really close to a great outcome, but where the adversity (a lot of it self-imposed) was just too great to overcome.
Perfect summation of how the season went.
A very frustrating season at times, but they gave it all they got and nearly got the seventth game.
Up five and Parker goes braindead. FML.
