Trust me, I know how you feel...the game in Utah wasn't that long ago...
I don't even care about homecourt right now. I just thought that tonight we really were trying to win the ing game and make a ing statement that we weren't scared of who we faced and that we weren't going to tank in order to get a favorable matchup. To come out scared and flat and flagrant fouling like little girls was straight shameful & embarrasing. I love my team, I think we're very, very good and dangerous, but I'm so ing sad right now I can't even describe it.

you sound just like that other jackass that posts here...
yeah, I dunno if the Jazz tanked or not. You gotta figure, if you wanna win it all you have to beat the Spurs eventually. better do it with HCA than on the road in the WCF... Imagine how good the jazz would have felt going into round one beating SA twice and with HCA?
Yeah, the lack of concern, and the way Pop managed, seemed like he was using the games as in game testing.
The second halves were all played the same way.
It was too similar to be just a coincidence.
Yeah I forgot "CIA" Pop just told the guys in the second half of the games lately to start missing on purpose...testing them on missing shots and playing soft. What if the trend was that they were playing ty....imagine that.
I forgot the day you turned into a head.
The Spurs were just shooting some shots...just beating a team they were supposed to beat...no surprises here...
I'm a head....that's a stretch...
I'm just tired of all of the tanking bs and CIA Pop crap. Please.
Nobody tanked, but the Spurs big 3 were playing about 25 to 30 min in the last several games and there was no urgency. Tonight with HCA on the line we saw urgency. Their big problem lately was sloppy play and low energy, if they bring anywhere near the energy and execution of tonight into the playoffs they will win those games. That's the question.
The Spurs looked very sharp tonight, but since when did one home win against the worst WC playoff road team erode 40+ games of ty play? This mentality that because you have won championships you can take the regular season off is a recipe for disaster in the playoffs. I think this is precisely the reason why the Spurs have never repeated.
No way the Spurs were taking the season off just to wake up in the playoffs -I could be wrong, but it very much looks like the Spurs were doing the best they could to compensate for injuries and new players getting used to the scheme that we run. One game doesn't justify our shortcomings this season, but being at the game I saw the Spurs running a very efficient offense. Utah was playing hard the first half and our offense was flowing so well they could not stop it. Utah's a very good team and should spank the rockettes, but they were no match tonight and that bodes well for the Spurs. They seemed to come out with something that they haven't showed yet this season (well maybe the first of the season.) It's one win, but they looked very formidable tonight.
If true, i see no reason for there to be no energy and urgency in the damn playoffs. Theres no more resting or building up to. Its ing time.
Let the season begin! Good luck to all, including the trolls.
yes, they were.
yes they were what?
"F***'N with us."
that's a novel thought, but they weren't (and yes I know we're being sarcastic.) We're we hiding gameplans for future use - yes. Were we trying to deal with unfortunate lineups - yes. We're we sandbagging - no freaking way. You can't do that and then try to turn up intesity when it counts. The great thing about the regular season is that it's truly practice for the playoffs - especially at the end of the year. Pop's used every regular season to practice playoff scenarios, but he's never tanked a game and he's never allowed his players to slack off.
Of course, but you also have to realize that most of the top-tier teams had a pretty bad stretch towards the end of the season. SA's just happened to come against the better teams in the league, and at the wrong time. This team is full of winners, so I don't doubt them at all
