That Loss was a Blessing in Disguise

i mean i doubt they could have been that unfocused, but i'm sure pop will be hard on their asses. all this talk about the streak must have gotten to them. i know in interviews they gave all the right answers, but i think a lot of the success went to their heads. remember, we were on an 11 winstreak before sitting our starters at utah. team probably thought "we're the hottest team in the league, our big 3 is rested, we can take anybody" and then bynum ripped them with his great game.

its equally possible that with our 20 win streak, playoff undefeated-ness, and the fact that we never trailed game 2, the boys might have been a bit laid back and overconfident. a reality check is a good thing, especially when we had a 2-0 cushion. before you all hit the panic button, realize how good this spurs team has responded after losses, and that we can take game 4 to take a commanding 3-1 lead. the sky is NOT falling

Blessings abound it seems.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

I know I just wanted to be greedy and wanted 16-0. Well, almost...now it's time to focus on winning the NBA Championship!

I rather lose in a blowout than a close one like the Celtics in game 2.That hurts.We possibly can't be blown out again.NO WAY.We won 20 in a row.

after last night, I'm even surer that we will go all the way!

we will be fine!

There's no way we could have gone undefeated through the playoffs.. thats an unreal expectation for this team. The Spurs will use this loss as motivation to be sharp for the rest of the series. Popovich will bounce back and make some adjustments,and the players will be more focused... no need to panic, this Spurs team is honestly way too good for the Thunder.

Little did they know that the Thunderrefs were cooking up the most rigged series since Sactown vs LA

[UNT Eagles 2016]

As was Romo and Dez being out most of last season. Even though we probably could have had all of Elliott, Smith, Collins and Tapper drafting in the middle of each round.
