Tonight is a good test - can a team that falls apart on the road at least make a game of it against a top tier team? I am happy so far Spurs year with all the issues overall - like to see them at least compete going into and in first round playoffs.
Hear, hear!

lma+ddr cant even get top4 seed
look at the one man t eam of drob during the 90s, always top4 seed
I agree with the post above. I thought this season would be a whole lot worse. I thought DeRozan and Jacob would be a whole lot worse also. The team has played okay and there is hope with the flashes White has shown and with Walker starting to earn a bit of Pop's trust. I don't think the team is going to do too much in the off season but hopefully the younger players can keep improving and the team might be a middle tier team next season
Agreed. Hoping for Walker,White,Dejounte all to get more minutes next year along with them getting better. Hopefully the Spurs draft some solid young players and work them into the rotation.
First round exit isn't bad for this team. Far worse was the 2014 reigning champ Spurs getting eliminated in the first round by the Clips.
nephew did it, he and his family ruined the spurs.

Nailed it.
If you're old like me, you remember back in the day, WCW, when Hulk Hogan was coming down to the ring to a monstrous ovation to save Randy Savage from Scott Hall and Kevin Nash?
But then Hogan dropped the big leg on Savage instead crushing the hearts of all the Hulkamaniacs and the nWo was born.
That's what Kawhi did to the Spurs, he dropped that big "load management" leg over Pop's old throat and crushed the franchise.
He might as well crushed the Atnt center and sent them back to play in the Alamodome. Watching Robinson waste time playing with Del negro and in J.R Reid and whoever else I can't remember at the moment is just as pointless as watching this line up struggle for the 8th seed but at least Robinson was playing. Everyone clamoring for the tank will get their wish, Pop's too old to deal with that for now, but it's on the horizon and since I was in the " it lets see how these misfits play together camp" I guess you could figure how big a crap shoot I think tanking generally is.
I'm just happy that between my kids and house projects etc that this season is probably one of my most least watched seasons in forever. Just gotta get reacquainted with mediocrity, the pre-TD fans remember it pretty well.
why you gotta bring that up. that game 6 pissed me off.
we're up 8 like in 2nd quarter and Pop begins the hack a jordan strategy. WHY? We were up! completely killed our momentum and swung it back towards the clippers.
I know, right? I just looked at the box score to that game. When Belinelli is one of the few "+" players you know everyone sucked.
And I guess that's why I'm not bothered by this current team. I have very low expectations. We're witnessing system basketball with players that bring no intangibles.
