Im always a Spurs fan before a fan.
I'm proud of the guys tonight tbh. Although it was frustrating giving the game away like we did. We had no one to go when we needed a basket. Like someone said we look like planets without a sun. Aldridge played admirably. Before you look at stats I want you to watch the game and look at his heart. He played big and did his best against a team that was loading up on him. He missed some bunny's but it happens to the best of em.
The literal difference in this game is that we don't have a closer. They have a stacked lineup. They can play two top 20 players at all time and we got LMA and a rehabbing Gay.
I'm not gonna bash the Spurs at all this game. It'd be like picking on a kid that has a handicap. Just no pleasure in doing that. Against the Warriors you need your horses. Doesn't matter how much you go ahead if you have no one to close.
I believed the whole game that we could win, so this loss hurts. But I encourage some of the faint hearted here what it's like to believe in a win no matter what. The losses hurt more, but the joy in victory is greater. Some of the critics got me constantly criticizing our team but I just want to encourage the remembrance of being a real fan and not a "realist" etc.
All in all, lots of guys made big plays but in the end we were short a closer. I'm saying now, if healthy with a rematch we win no doubt. And if they win, I'm gonna still believe.
Is this site Spurstalk or talk? Anyhow, here's to the fans that believe no matter what. One believer is stronger than a 1,000 doubters.
Here's to the highs and the lows of the season and ultimately a 2018 Championship. Let's get healthy.
yeah i had about a wine bottle, so what of it

It's annoying to see so many meltdowns when we're missing two integral players. Once they come back and guys like LMA and Danny keep up a high level play we'll be fine.
Juuuust a bit outside.

It's very encouraging seeing the flashes of what we can do without Leonard and Parker. I was hating on Parker last year but I took for granted how important he is. To have a stable PG with the experience he has with pace, and what to do and when to do it is sorely missed. As for Kawhi, I guess it's been so long that we forget how dominant he really is. He is MVP candidate and DPOY. That kind of hole anywhere else but the Warriors and teams would be getting spanked. But we have some solid players surrounding him.
All in all, like Manu said, it's about getting better every game as opposed to wins and losses. IMO we got better tonight. Tomorrow would have been a trap game had we won, but I think now we go out with a new level of focus.
I feel the Spurs are even with the Warriors if they have Kawhi. He's the difference maker. Durant has gone off on the spurs since Kawhi was taken out in game 1 of WCF. Every time the spurs play the Warriors without Kawhi the game is compe ive up until Durant goes off. The Spurs need Kawhi to check Durant.
Kawhi is probably the only player in the association that can guard him. Durant can't post him, so he has to use the PnR. Anderson did alright for the most part, but KD is a player that can go off at will. He wasn't doing any of that ish when Kawhi the kingslayer was on him.
A Kawhi steal here a block there, a big bucket. Kawhi is a one man momentum starter/killer cause he can hurt you on both sides. No one else on this team is currently built to carry that kind of load. Very few players can and that's why he's MVP candidate and perennial DPOY...
we lost by 20 last 2 games and we need a closer now
We need a time machine to undonthe contracts Pop handed out
Him and RC mist have been on a drinkin binge
I feel containing Durant is the key to beating the Warriors. When the Warriors offense gets bogged down it's Durant who they turn to for an easy basket to jump start it. I saw it happen last year through out the playoffs. I have seen it this year in games where Durant fuels their offensive runs. With Kawhi on the court they don't have the option which causes disruption within the flow of their offense.
I agree. The fact that he can post up gives them as close to an inside presence as they have. Having Kawhi takes that away. Draymond is a DPOY system player, Klay is mostly a spot up shooter and post presence when he has a mismatch, and Curry needs the pick and roll. Durant's post up is the best option when nothing else is working. You are right when you say Kawhi is the difference. Difference in being up 20 or being down 20 no exaggeration.
We need a closer who can go for 30 a night.
We are 3 pieces away from being le contenders
So now Tony is an integral player? We're ed,.
Those 3 pieces are 1st round, 2nd round and the WCFs.
Yep, what we need is a new front office and coaching staff - retroactive to circa 2013. Since then, it has been like watching the final years of the Schramm/Landry/Brandt regime of the Dallas Cowboys.

Well he is the only real PG who can make plays on the roster.
I feel like a lot of the spurs success this season relied on Murray. Especially since they struck out on virtually every free agent target they went after. If this is the Murray we’re gonna get, short of a trade or two mid season, this might be a looooong year.
Yeah, not to be negative, but I don't think he is ready this year. He can't stop turning the ball over. He's averaging 2 and half turnovers in 25 minutes of action. I don't trust him on the court and I'm sure Pop doesn't either. His defense is vastly improved and he can be a playmaker on that side of the ball but he gets lost at times.
Anyway hope he figures it out, but right now I have him out of the rotation when Parker and KL are back.

I was bout drunk on wine at the time lol
He also doesn’t seem to be as aggressive. He’s not even looking to score anymore, just dribble the ball around a bit and waste shotclock
I noticed too... Thank Pop for thatHe also doesn’t seem to be as aggressive. He’s not even looking to score anymore, just dribble the ball around a bit and waste shotclock
Ppl seem to forget how trash Parker was last year... VERY poor shooting games including zero stat games in the playoffs... Complete garbage the entire season... And the moment he starts to play well his body couldn't handle it... He is NOT the answer... At this point Murray is better off starting... Especially since Tony will be even worse on defense than he already was... Get Murray in game shape and accustomed to playing against these NBA teams or we will find ourselves in the same position as last year, Tony bottoming out in the playoffs and relying on Patty trash and an inexperienced Murray
