Suns: Spurs are now 1-4 against the top 4 teams in the league

[daslicer]

teams are a different story for example the Spurs le teams lost to the Bucks for years ...
The 2009 Lakers beat KG's boston and Lebron' s cavs on a similar road trip, on a Friday Sunday on the road on the way to a le. Not saying 2014 wont repeat itself but most le teams win the statement games ...and tbh Cavs could have swept Spurs this year ...but Tony changed game 1 by cutting the lead before halftime.
Again not saying Spurs should panic just said these two losses are worrisome.

Not really it's all about seeding. I would say the Warrior's loss was the only one that really hurt but the Cavs not at all. It works both ways with your logic about the Spurs needing Tony to beat the Cavs. Remember last year it took OT and Kyrie 57 points to beat the Spurs which was also pretty fluky. Honestly the Warriors are overwhelming favorites to win it all this year. The Spurs have to keep the second seed and focus on developing young players like Simmons and Anderson along with finding ways to make LMA more effective offensively. Also they have to find ways to improve their level of play. And in the end and just hope whatever progress they make is good enough to get them over the Warriors.

Spurs will have to beat the Thunder and Warriors to get to the finals. If they beat those 2 teams no doubt in my mind they will squash the Cavs. That is why I really don't care about this loss to the Cavs.

SPAM - Spurs Peak After March

Been true for nearly 20 years now. Always has, always will. We're not getting the top seed, so to really put a lot of focus on the regular season is baffling to say the least, we'll be okay and just fine losing here and there in the regular season. It's come April that I'll be panicking after losses and celebrating wins.

what? I didn't make this thread. but if you dish it, you gotta take it too... we don't make a thread every day you lose (and you do that a lot nowadays), but that doesn't mean you get a pass...

Of course you don't because we suck. There is no joy in it for you to lodge it, or, misery for us to see you lodge it.

I ain't telling you anything you don't already know. Stop acting the fool.

wrong, it's a lot of joy. I just ain't got the time to do it. I let DMC roll them barrels, he's doing a good job.

The Spurs were against the elite teams in the 2013/14 regular season and they won the le. I doubt any one of them is losing sleep over this

Glad to see at least one Laker fan has a brain in his head.

1-4 against le teams is appalling and shameful

[Relevancy]

As a Spurs fan, tell me how being 1-4 against the top teams is a good thing? Do you guys really expect to go through the Warriors?

Did you not read the posts where people were talking about Spurs having a losing record in 2014 and still whining the championship?

This is not indicative at all. Specially when 80% of the games are yet to be played between the Warriors and Thunder.

If by April they're a combined 1-10 then I'd see your point.

You're right, if they lose the remaining games against the top dogs then we can draw conclusions.

Hey it ain't where you from its where you at.....you can do that against losing teams but not against le teams....you lost to the Suns in 10....got backdoor swept in 2011 by the Grizz...barely beat a Mavs team in 13....and lost to the Clips in 15.....I say this is another year of outstanding basketball by the Spurs only to fall victim to their own success like the other 29 teams

And where the Spurs are is the second seed very comfortably. Second best team and they haven't even hit their peak month yet.

Dont we all know that they always start playing with intensity around March and April? Why are you so afraid?

It still indicates a problem.
