What one play broke our playoff series

[spurs10]

Nah the way the team was playing this year they'd have just pulled some stupid in some other round and lost.

I don't think they wanted to throw any games , but I believe Game 6 was a sign they were mentally not all there.

losing to the pelicans and missing out on the 2 seed.

It was death by a thousand cuts.

Any one of them could have prevented it.

Starting with that ridiculous Portland OT game.

Just wasn't meant to be.

[spurs10]

Knicks game.....uuuuggghhh!

[EIC]

Either of the Parker miscues late in Game 7.

Player bias always trumps reading comprehension.

I knew after watching that game we would not be repeating this year. Absolutely no fire at all.

[Obstructed_View]

The one that allowed the Knicks to win in overtime.

[313]

[Russo21]

Spurs just weren't good enough this time around

[Obstructed_View]

I thought of this one, too. Considering Kawhi didn't step up as the team's best player, it's a valid criticism, tbh.

I figured in the 2013 it was just a young player having cold feet, but I don't know anymore. After that, regular season close games shouldn't be so rattling.

Nope, losing to the Knicks or the Cavs...Peli's were hot and wanted to make the playoffs. Not like they were a scrub team.

There you go.

GAME.

Yeah it was hard to witness. I'm surprised by how much fire they had in Game 7. They bring that intensity to Game 6 at home and we'd still be playing. I don't think they they had the mentality to keep playing.

Definitely not through 4 series.

Throw in Detroit....yeah the Pelican's were uber motivated and fighting for their lives. We shouldn't have been in that position, but that loss must have had a heavy impact on them. To drop from 2 to 6 overnight.....is kind of a cruel blow.

What am I gonna do with all these tickets in my drawer!!

Yeah the Pistons too, but it is what it is.

Every thing old is new again:

McHale told TNT's Tracy Wolfson that he decided to start hacking early to "change things up" and try to take the Clips out of their game.

It worked for a little while, as the Rockets led through the early stages of the second quarter. But as the free-throw attempts piled up, McHale's gambit seemed to backfire, as the Rockets lost both their early shotmaking rhythm and any semblance of belief that they could stop the Clippers' offense without hugging Jordan immediately after an L.A. inbound. And in the third quarter, Doc Rivers' crew proved the shaken Rockets right. --- more --->
