Are you scared of OKC yet?

[FkLA]

Read the game thread, and watch the mul ude of arrogant Spurs fans offhandedly dismissing OKC as a threat.

Nobody with a normal sized brain would dismiss them. You feeling the need to call those re s out is almost as bad as their dismissive comments tbh.

[spurs10]

I don't think the Spurs are scared of them. I think they hate them as much as we do and that's why we usually win in the end. They haven't done . They wet the bed really well in 12, but that's their zenith so far. We beat them in six games without our starting point guard. They are the ones chasing us and played like it.

Link to where I said the Spurs would finish with the top seed?

I said when healthy, they are the best team in the league. They were suffering injuries in the preseason and you still cliff jumped like the little girl you are. It's so meaningless to take anything from this game when both teams aren't even healthy. For someone that likes to pretend that they're so intellectual, you're pretty ing stupid.

Look, I'm not going to get into a petty internet fight with an anonymous poster. That's beneath me. But you should know that if you want to contribute substantively to an intellectual basketball discussion, you ought make use of logic, evidence, and reason, rather than merely hurling insults.

OKC isn't a threat. But neither are the Spurs. I'm not scared at all. The only teams with a shot are Golden Stae, Memphis, Houston, and us.

LOL, Blazers fans getting big heads because of the regular season (after all, you're not too familiar with much else), I love it. it's gonna make the playoffs so much more fun. you guys really tested the Spurs last year lmao

ttm would destroy you with his basketball knowledge. I seriously hope you're a troll.

No. We didn't have Kawhi in all our regular season games against them last year. When we do, easy elimination

well didn't watch the game but I have to agree with you....Kawhi is a best defender

[look_at_g_shred]

No. Westbrook will have more bad games than good in the playoffs. He'll shoot his team out of games.

True. DG will also be on him with Kawhi back.

Oh, and one more point:

To all the people saying, " But neither team was healthy, therefore, this game is meaningless. "

You need only turn that statement on its head to see how ridiculous it is. If the Spurs had won this game without Kawhi / Mills / Boris, can you imagine any Spurs fan saying that the outcome was meaningless?

Didn't think so.

[timtonymanu]

All regular season games are meaningless.

Only "intellectuals" like Uriel think they impact playoff performances.

We are better this year than we were last year.

[wildchild]

He's a role player, not because he's not good enough to be a star (clearly, he is), but because Pop plays him in such a way that he is relegated to that position for the time being.

You said "I merely point out facts, regardless of how disturbing they are and how uncomfortable it may make people."

"Spurs fans, with all their bluster and arrogance..." isn't a fact, is a personal appreciation which shows a destructive
at ude.
Like your "Kawhi is just a role player".

That isn't a fact, the real fact -based on usage percentage in last finals- says we didn't win a le with him playing as role player.
Another fact? This really bad season record without him, even with the Big 3 healthy now.

I don't want argue with you what you said or not about Kawhi in game-threads but sometimes it's good to have a good memory and not just a selective memory like you.

[Uriel]

In your posts in this thread, you committed the following logical fallacies:
1. False equivalence
2. Poisoning the well
3. Ad hominem

While also suc bing to the following cognitive bias:
1. Ingroup bias

If you really think you're half as intelligent as you say you are, why don't you actually post a well-though out, carefully reasoned, and evidence-based argument, rather than merely insulting the opposition and hoping people flock to your side of the table?

I don't know about Spursfan, but Pop pretty much did when he sat down Boris, Patty and Khawi... I'm sure all those guys would've played if it was the playoffs...

[Aremid]

We are better this year than we were last year.

That Chris Kaman addition really put you guys over the top.

By your logic, why not scrap the entire regular season then? , why not put Philadelphia in the playoffs because their regular season record means nothing anyway.
