Remember 2004: swept Grizzles, didn't win le.
The Spurs played pretty good defense against the Grizz for 3 quarters, they have to make it 4. Credit to Memphis for making the extra pass. Guys like Neal are going to have to come into their own because we're going to need his shooting like we needed Horry and Barry's.
Remember 2004: swept Grizzles, didn't win le.
And also the spurs always(often) struggle in the first playoffs games win or lose the championships
This team is waaaay worse on defense. The uncontested threes and poor defense down low is making this team very vulnerable.
They may still win the series (if Manu can get back soon), but Memphis is being allowed to take a physical toll on the Spurs and no one is standing up.
Remember the Alamo
i'm pretty sure they'll adjust for the next games.
Pop must change his rotations, play Splitter at least few minutes on Gasol, and hopefully Manu is back and Tony owe us a game
The years we didnt win it all was not base on roster fault, it was more pops coaching methods...smallball killed us when he tried to implement that crap with our roster and going away from what was working for us
lol we are gettin on the grizz inexperience frontline atm
/thread
I needed a laugh
At least everyone concur that always come to POP
So the Spurs never lost a first game of the playoffs and not won a championship.
1999: Spurs win last game of playoffs, win championship.
2003: Spurs win last game of playoffs, win championship.
2005: Spurs win last game of playoffs, win championship.
2007: Spurs win last game of playoffs, win championship.
seriously how can't you be confident on a team who finished first in the west, with a big big bench, a fresh Duncan...
Do you think the other teams have Bowen, Horry, etc...?
No they are worst than us or at the same level but not better.
This is as simple like that.
then stop saying that the past spurs teams had Bowen, Horry, Great defense, etc...
Stop being Pussies
I'm tired of Pussies in general and the ones in this forum.
Bull re ed spursfans
To everyone slagging us off for Duncan for not being in his prime, Ginobili for not being 100%, for not having Horry or Bowen etc etc, we still finished top in the WC so we must be doing something right.
havin a taste of our own medicine we dish out on our le runs, twin towers
There's another thing I remember that was present in all of those years, 03, 05, 07, that is way more significant: Defense
Always bet on black
Spurs are not winning a le. Period. Unless an injury or suspension occurs in our favor.
Yeah, I remember those years and they played something called "elite defense" during that time. Also, Pop would actually play another guy taller than 6'9" beside Timmy Duncan every once in awhile. Not anymore, though.
Like Rudy Gay being out?

...Yes, Popovich has been forced to acknowledge, ever since upstart Memphis swiped Game 1 of this first-round playoff series Sunday, his Spurs team has a habit of turning postseason-opening 0-1 deficits into NBA championships.
It happened in 2003. And in 2005. And again in 2007.
Turns out, there’s a good explanation for that.
“Because we were better than the team we were playing,” Popovich said.
This x 10000.. So strange how it always gets overlooked by fans, and even by the Spurs FO. Every single time we won a championship, Duncan had a 7'0" playing with him. Kind of boggles my mind that the FO doesn't put some serious weight behind that.
edit: You can also add Elson to that list.
