They usually split with the good teams every year and get a high seed and last year made the finals and the year before WCF, how is that only beating bad teams only? I would say they only beat easy teams is pretty much false because their record against good teams is nice as well.
Who you are against great teams is what defines you as a player. Danny Green and Tiago Splitter = chokers. Pop = clueless. Tim = old. Tony = ballhog. Manu = average.
Maybe, but not tonight. They all played like and you know it. Yet they kept on chucking up BS shots that clanked off the rim (if they even HIT RIM AT ALL!).
I was going to ask why you guys agree, but then I remembered that you are the same poster with various aliases.
Prove it, liar.
Expected loss? That wasn't the sentiment coming into the season. OKC loses Kevin Martin and everybody assumes the Thunder don't be able to score. Westbrook went 2-16 and the Spurs still lost the game.
Oh, and Reggie Jackson is better than Kevin Martin.
Make me.
Caught in a lie. Again.
I can't make you prove a negative. That is impossible.
Again... Prove it. Put up or shut up.
Return to second grade. Do not pass GO. DO NOT collect $200.
Are you ever going to stop?
Spurs
I counted at least 7 or 8 tip ins that didn't go in. That's pretty flukish. You expect at least half to go in, if not more.
...and he'll be just as "out the door" when it comes time for him to get paid.
Manu did look decent at least, unlike others that did:
6-18
6-16
5-14
He looked slow and was an inch away from three turnovers with those wild passes. Bad timing. No lift on his jumper. He looks old.
The loss doesn't matter. We already won 11 straight then barely lost to an elite team on the road. It's literally one of the least relevant losses possible in an NBA season. It's one of the ones you're supposed to be dropping at about a 67% rate.
You aren't going to win every game, and you sure as aren't going to win every game on the road against championship contenders who are undefeated at home. OKC was supposed to win that game to protect THEIR, not us for ours. We're already sitting fat in 1st place and are still 2 games up on OKC (instead of what would've been 4 if we won).
Some of you guys act like you haven't been here before.
So we expect to lose against high tier teams? I don't like this at ude. Spurs got beat plane and simple, They don't need excuses, they need to learn from this and figure out how to overcome it and beat them next time.
12-2 reg season wins is always nice but it does not hold any weight when you don't come to play against tougher teams. it's not about how many wins, but how your team plays. Honestly there is way to much fodder in the NBA this year to even consider a large amount of wins as an argument.
OKC's guys like Jackson (especially) and Ibaka don't bring it like that consistently.
Sure, Westbrook won't shoot 2-16 next time, but take away Jackson's effort last night, and their bench unit doesn't look very impressive at all. I still don't think this OKC team poses all that much of a threat to us. Sure, OKC didn't shoot the ball too well, but Spurs shot it pretty atrociously as well.
The last two years they got big breaks getting easy matchups in the playoffs with injuries to top teams. The Spurs have caught so many breaks the last two years and still could not get a le (although came surprisingly close last year).
Yes, expect the Spurs to lose against healthy top teams. That has been the pattern with this core team.
I could say the same about you homers who get excited every year about regular season wins against weak teams and then are surprised when the spurs fall short against their first tough playoff opponent.
Agree. Others in the same play, every shot. Off rebounds and fail again, tbh.
But others (Duncan, Parker, Leonard) are our Big3 right now and I still trust on them. Just a bad night, bad 2nd half.
Exactly. Last season was our final chance to win with Timmy. Perfect storm. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, broke our way until the waning seconds of Game Six's fourth quarter. This is why so many of us are incensed at Manu for going braindead like he did. These opportunities are not to be squandered because they don't come around very often.
We are done in all likelihood.
