Troll job rating: 0.4/10
I mean, the first round is pretty boring. Spurs should sweep memphis, no excuses. And then comes the second round, look, as bad as the team has looked the whole season, I can't believe that Houston will be the superior team. Spurs wins that in 5, 6 max. Then comes GSW, well, most probably a loss unless something sparks up from LMA and crew. Overall, not really hyped up so far. Memphis will be so ing boring, Houston has potential to be decent and the team has too many flaws to face the golden s.

Memphis is gonna be boring.
Houston is a predictable win.
This team is too flawed to seriously challenge GSW barring an aldridge miracle. Where's the trolling?![]()
Not enough sleep. I misread it and thought you were touting a second round loss. I redact the former post, tbh.
I agree. It's hard to get fired up when its clear we don't have a realistic chance of getting past GSW. We'd need some serious help (e.g., a major injury to one of their big four) and would have to find another gear ourselves.
The near inevitability of a loss to GSW in the WCF (should we make it) takes some of the fun out of the early rounds. We're a premiere guard or two away from really contending with GSW.
I'm not that sold on Golden State just yet. The only teams to eliminate a Spurs squad in the playoffs in recent past had a far superior frontline except for the Heat which shouldn't have even won anyways and also a penetrating offense which remains to be seen depending on what Curry decides to do. If we keep them on the perimeter then we have seen just badly they and even Durant can miss in the most crucial moments so it atleast gives us a shot but the Spurs need to win the rebounding battle and limit the costly turnovers and for goodness sakes make their damn free throws.
I just rewatched the "Beautiful Game" videos on YouTube. I'm hyped AF now.
Recommended pre-playoff viewing. Champion Team > Team of champions.
Eh. I think this first round will be a single digit margin of victory sweep by the Spurs. Every game will be close. From there on, with full confidence in the Spurs and all, it's a wild card. That's why the playoffs are played, after all.
Right now I'd agree it doesn't look so exciting, but it's the playoffs, there will be upsets, there will be injuries, there will be bad calls by the refs, there will be drama... We split the season 2-2 with the Grizz, the 1st round will be a good test to see if this team has a playoffs gear or not.
Rockets-Warriors is a lock for WCF regardless what happens in Spurs-Grizzlies series.
I view the playoffs as a good gauge to see how far or how close the spurs are to being a championship team. With some luck there is a chance the Spurs could win it all but we'll see how things end up. If the Spurs play up to their potential then they should at least get to the WCF.
it is boring because it is all for naught ... and playing against the Grizzlies is just not exciting ...
not really, Rockets are a good gimmick team that can't get past an antiquated 2 man game namely kawhi and aldridge
ets won't even beat OKC, tbh.
couldn't wait for the RS to end. now i can't wait for the 1st round to end and it hasn't even started
ready for a tougher opponent than the grizzlies.
Yep. I didnt watch any game after we lost to the warriors, and then Grizz is the first round. entertainment.
Yeah. The Spurs success has ruined playoff basketball for me. I used to watch any game I could. Now, if the Spurs are out, I don't give a . I might tune in to the Finals to root against some player or team. But if it's Cle/GSW, I only watch out of a morbid hope that the arena splodes.
The *unbeatable* Golden s were down 3-1 to a slightly above average OKC team last year before Durant and OKC choked.
GTFO
Same thing this year.
Though yes that video is hype AF, this team is not that team unfortunately. This is a very good Spurs team though, fully capable of hoisting up the LOB this year, excited to see where the chips fall.
I am very eager to get the playoffs started and see how the Spurs do. Excited? Not so much. What happens during the course of the first round will dictate the excitement level.
Same here. Good summary.
1/10
You think im trolling my dude? Yeah goodluck hoping for LMA to carry us home
Spurs fans are so spoiled beyond belief. This is the type of guy that has a lovely wife but looks at her 10 years down the road after she has birthed his children and leaves her for the 20 year old yoga instructor because he can't see the beauty in his wife anymore.
