Not even a regular season game.
How can you even build compe ive intensity when by the end of the 2nd quarter, you're up by a million.
Almost wish We play dallas instead.

Im not gonna lie... this is reeeeally boring.
I do not mind taking a bye.
Rest for the starters, reduces the risk of injury.
I'll take this over an exciting first round series like last year where the Spurs lost.
It's not as interesting as most of our playoff series but i don't even care. It's still enjoyable to watch my team win.
This is true.
I'd rather have this than last year, but yeah, it's not too exciting.
Send Austin Spurs to Memphis, tbh
The Bosley hair commercial is more exciting than the game footage. That guy really increased his coverage. I was impressed with the results.
Obviously this is more preferable to playing a team like the Clippers in the 1st round, but I am starting to wonder if it'd be better to play a team like Dallas/Houston/Portland where we would've at least been challenged somewhat. We're getting no opportunity to work on late-game execution, the games don't have typical playoff intensity, and the rotations aren't what they'll be in the later rounds (guys like Kawhi/Aldridge aren't even playing 30 mpg). Again, of course I'd rather have a series like this compared to a crazy challenging series where we're in danger of being eliminated...but I feel like there's a medium that's probably better than both.
I missed game 1 live and only watched the 2nd half tonight..it's some of the worst basketball I've ever seen in the playoffs, looks like 90s ball out there, tbh
I can't believe people are worried or trying to analyze anything..the only thing to take away from this series is that the Spurs are going to be in serious trouble of losing game 1 of the 2nd round after playing one of the worst playoff teams I've ever seen for an entire series..
Agree. Should we be worried about they being rusty? Kawhi 4-10, LMA 5-11, Parker 3-9 tonight...
Yep..Spurs are going to be really, really rusty in game 1 of round 2, unfortunately..
It's tough to ask for intensity when they're playing a team that would finish last in the West if they re-played the regular season..
Reminds me of Spurs Grizzlies 2004 series R1
Did ray mccallum play tonight?
nope, just xavier mumford
I mean we're legitimately playing the equivalent of a 15-win (probably not even that) teamGoing from playing a bottom-3 team in the league for 4 straight games to playing against OKC could definitely cause some problems.
Luckily we have a veteran squad with guys who have been deep in the playoffs before and even played OKC specifically, but still. The difference between this series and next series is going to be staggering.
They should try to focus on getting their toghether offensively. If we can't make shots now that the pressure is basically non-existent, we're ed.
It works both ways in the sense if the Spurs had a hard first round series they risk injuries and getting worn out early in the playoffs. Trolls ing about an easy series simply because their trolling is limited in this series.
Just need one game to warm up to the Thunder.Game one could be a problem though.
Hope this series dnt us up for the next round!
As long as they are winning by 20+ that to me shows their sharp and focused lets see if the continue these beat downs in memphis
Hopefully the SL uses this as a tune up on offense. They need to at least build confidence on offense because this terrible defense is causing them issues.
However, rest is important for this squad. Plus, practice time I believe to be critical. The more time coaches have to gameplan and the more practice they can get, the better. Hoping that offsets any series shock from a compe iveness perspective.
