Disappointing Meltdown tbh...

Speaking of meltdowns, I hope UNT is alright. #RIP

ElNono[/B]) "who gives a if Green plays poorly with this talented roster we have we just need him to a threat..."

you're welcome...

IMO, the meltdown is tame because:
1) We're still a great team outside the Dubs
2) Everything people didn't think Pop should do (TP/Mills on Curry, going small, playing end of the bench guys, etc), he did.

That's not to say the Dubs are not better than us, but if Pop didn't give a about the game, why should the fans, tbh?

On the other hand, if this loss makes us lose some fairweather bandwagon fans, then all the more positive

That's kinda my spin on it. Pop has been known not to show his cards in the regular season in the past, and the Warriors game was a perfect exemplification of that. Especially once the game started getting out of hand, it became pretty obvious that Pop was going into subterfuge mode. No Green on Curry? Kawhi 6 shots? Simmons, Anderson, AND Butler on the floor? Boban time against Golden State?

Yeah, the 30 point beatdown was disappointing considering I was hoping for a good game...but that's pretty much all I took from it. Spurs gameplan will be vastly different in the playoffs.

This was the most sobering regular season loss the Spurs had in years. It went from championship contender to reality check in one night.

The Spurs ceiling is the WCF, it is what it is.

... always good sport my old chap

We are a great team against true but compe ion is weak... most of the teams are a mess or poorly built, you have a system and a coach and already get 50 wins nowadays. The Juggernaut is the GS and they tapped our ass... 30 points bra...

I'm not buying too much on CIA pop... obviously he did not show all his cards but green on curry, tp on barnes, kawhi attacking mismatches would do what ? losing by only 20 points ?

Still disappointed by dat meltdown

On a Thursday? Get yo azz in the library and get ready for your test. Shenanigans are reserved for the weekend.

Let's see them beat us at home first.

There's no shame in admitting they're better than us right now... they've been historically good, tbh... it's possible they would kick our asses in a series too, but wouldn't you want to see what our guys could come up with? I would.

Det point guard matchup though, it's like a gulf to overcome...

[Uriel]

People weren't melting down because the outcome of the game made them depressed, not angry. That's really all there is to it.

[Uriel]

Exactly.

The equivalent of the Spurs playing in Golden State without Duncan is the Warriors playing in San Antonio without Draymond Green. Let's see if the Warriors can win that one.

[Trainwreck2100]

that was a screwy game, the team wasn't doing any of the things that they've done all season, and there was a load of unforced errors.

[HarlemHeat37]

Exactly.

no, it's like them playing without Bogut, tbh..

Draymond is by far the 2nd best player in a potential series between these teams, and probably the 2nd most valuable, too..

[TXstbobcat]

There really isn't much to say when your team is on the wrong end of an Ike Turner beating.

[vander]

I thought it was pretty good, some entertaining threads: all the spurs players are useless, the ball has some electronic device that made it bounce wrong, the rims use air and magnets to make sure curry hits his shots and spurs don't, CIA pop threw the game etc etc...

[TrainOfThought5]

You want to bump Gutless Worms?

Ah, a classic.

[Capster]

I think that the SPURS should "buy me a car" after that pathetic loss to GSW!!! I could stomach a loss by 10, maybe even 12! BUT 30 points????
That loss was butt ugly! Hope the SPURS show up tonight or there is going to be to pay! Believe it!

[BillMc]

Spurs have big losses like these every year, especially in championship seasons. It was clear by Pop's rotations/gameplan that he wasn't taking the game seriously. Plus I actually believe Tim will play a huge part in a potential series with GS (sans against the deathball lineup).

Agree with you 100%

[BillMc]

I was fully expecting some major meltdowns ala Amuseddaysleeper (?) or bene nfl style... [I'm not particular proud but I confess I love those ones full of stuff to about] but, instead of that, there is a bit of venting but globally very reasonable talks.

What's going on ? everybody is feeling good ? Roberto D my man wtf, aren't you upset ?


That's a 30 points loss, those bad boys kicked our butt repeatedly and we invited them to keep beating us down with a smile and a yes please !

I mean I understand we all are accepting that this team won't win a championship and we became more mature so you know it's not the end of the world we already have 5 tim is retiring without 6 its ok etc etc etc... but come on 30 points in the ass and nothing ? just like Manu said: "They're better than us" that's it ?

I set the house on fire, microwaved the dog, and jumped off my sixth story balcony. Unfortunately, the snow is so deep here I survived. I will try and do better next meltdown, sir.
