He knows this thread ...
He us just digging for .
Leave CN alone ...
His kings, Dodgers, chargersClips and Lezbron may all end 2015-2016 on a sour note ...
Speaking of ...Cn thoughts on Bosa?
CN is a good egg. Can't help but the love the SOB. I've tried to stay mad at him-to no avail. Him and Deeps and Midst, the old crew. They always see thru my faults and return the favor.
Its sad that Spurs fan cant appreciate what we witnessed last night. The contrast in the performances of the Dubs and Spurs was quite eye opening.
You would EXPECT San Antonio to show more grit than they do. Its the home of the Almao after all. Those guys didnt go down without a fight and we memorialized them for their bravery.
But in the Spurs case, they dont just go down, they go down without a fight:

I think it stems from the different coaching philosophies. I once saw a nationally televised game in which Greg Popovich yanked Manu Giniobili, got nose-to-nose and proceeded to scream at him till he was red in the face. Above all else, you follow his instructions. The Spurs dont fight, the Spurs OBEY. And the most frequent command they are given is "heel".
Their opponents have learned that if you back them into a corner, this dog will put its tail between its legs. Shout "Roll Over" and they will do so. Its simply how they've been trained.
Steve Kerr, on the other hand, gives his guys a much longer leash. He knows basketball is an extremely dynamic game with an infinite number of scenarios that could play out. The players, ultimately, have to control their own destiny.
Klay Thompson swished a 30 foot three pointer off his back foot with 15 seconds left on the shot clock. That takes guts, even if youre feeling it.
The Thunder shouted "ROLL OVER" but this time they got their nuts bit off.

Heel, Spur Fans, heel!
Heel, Spur Fans, heel!

SOP wherever man dwells.
It was a bad foul but you know if it was somebody like Lebron it would of been a considered a block.
Uh, remember how the Spurs got robbed of games 2 and 5? And how they almost 5peated 03-07?
Lol wtf dude, who are the Phoenix Suns again? An irrelevant team that has never won a ring? An irrelevant team that chokes at literally everything they do? A team that had HCA and lost game 1 and 5 and a chance at a championship in 2007? A team that we utterly dominated in every aspect of basketball? Eh, and who are you, a fan of that pathetic franchise? Come talk to me when you get a ring g
I'm a huge fan of the Bosa pick. I was worried that Telesco would do the usual Chargers move and splurge on the flashy skill-position guy (Ramsey) instead of building through the trenches. We have a scary pass rush now, lots of young talent on defense, so there are no more excuses for Pagano. He needs to field a defense that shows up all year long, not just in December to save his job.
For the first time in years, I actually love the Chargers' draft overall. I'm excited to see Hunter Henry too, provided McCoy actually gives him a chance to play instead of gluing him to the bench like he did with Ladarius Green. Gates is one of the greatest tight ends of all time, but he's getting old now and won't be playing forever, so it's time to start developing the next great Chargers TE. And Max Tuerk was a steal in the third round. Dude is crazy athletic and can play multiple positions on the O-line, which we really need, since our O-line gets destroyed by injuries every year. The only concern is that he's coming off an injury himself. Hopefully it's just a fluke and not a trend.
Not sure we're a playoff team yet, we're probably another strong draft away from doing anything, but I actually like the direction that the Chargers are going in for once.

OP ruined Spurfan on this occasion
Oh, yeah, just ing hilarious.
IMO, it's not a fold at all. OKC has been in every single game with a chance to win. They aren't losing or winning because they folded or overcame. They are going to lose or win because they are a great team that has been in every single game. They aren't choking even in their losses. They gave themselves two legit shots to knock GS out and they have a third tonight.
It's not right nor fair to call them a team that has folded. Even if they lose tonight.
The spurs won 5 championships by folding like a tortilla.
Makes perfect logical sense ...
That last game, in that last 4 minutes, they choked. They were out of sorts. It wasn't ball pressure or anything other than the moment. You could see halfway through the 4th that both KD and Russell were improvising and hoping it would all end. That's when Donovan should have steadied the ship and talked them in, but he just spectated. Scott Brooks could have spectated. Probably did.
I disagree. OKC had TO problems vs SA in the last 4 minutes of games but SA missed shots, there were some blown calls and guys like Waiters nailed enough shots to overcome the mistakes. OKC had those same problems all year long too with blown 4th Q leads due to their style of play.
It's who they are & that is not choking. Throughout the entire game, both 5 & 6, OKC had a legit shot to win. Choking is being the clear cut better team and totally shrinking in the moment. OKC had a 3-1 lead and played two really solid knockout games that they came up short on. That is not choking at all to me.
What we are seeing is the stuff that has been coming up aces regressing to the mean. Waiters has been a stud all playoffs, but been a no-show the last 2 games. That's who he's been all year long (and career) so far so it's not a choke, but regression to the mean.
OKC is a high TO team, especially in the 4th, again, it's regression to the mean. Not even so much that as it is them being punished in a similar fashion for those things. They were there all season long, vs SA & GS. Now GS is making some of the shots they were just missing, OKC bench is playing closer to what they did all year and they are losing the coin toss games that they had been winning at a crazy rate.
They just choked less than the compe ion.
WE would have literally won five championships trotting out 5 richard jeffersons.
