When losing Game 4 after being up 3-0...

[spurspokesman]

Spurs mailed it in last night as I expected.

Game 5 will be a blowout win for the Spurs.

We'll go into the WCF rested but not rusted.

yup

i'm starting to think pop and the team threw this game on purpose.

theory: clips/okc series is going at least 6, but probably 7. we, and the spurs, talk about rest being a big factor, but even more important is not coming into a series rusty as against a tested clips/okc team.
win wednesday, and we get a few days of rest, but not a week's worth.

parker wasn't playing the same as game 1-3, and it's not because of batum. he was passing up those same open jumpers on the pick n roll that he's been nailing all series.
plus there's pop throwing in the towel super early, and playing our best guys limited minutes.

definitely something fishy going on here.

Don't think he threw it per se but he didn't do what he would have done had it been a must win. It would have been almost an entire week off. Not good.

Tampa with the goods per par.

If nobody beats me to it, I'll start the Game 5 thread tomorrow...

I think you're probably good. Your only compe ion would've been dallasmaverickslose who literally ing had the gall to make a gme thread before the prior game was even over

Fortunately that was such a move that everyone recognized mugen's game thread instead even though mugen posted second

Come on guys, you didn't see Rick Carlisle in the stands pulling the strings, Stotts was a puppet last night. Pop will get out coached severely from here on out. It was a good run.

Just wanted to get that meltdown out of the way when the Spurs are down 2-0 on Wednesday. We got this thing at home but it'll be much closer than expected

oops, I just posted mine, before seeing this post... sorry, tbh...

You're good man
