Does it sting?

[TDomination]

Pretty much this. I felt Duncan was a once in lifetime player and that the Spurs had to maximize their chances to win with him so whenever they lost it was very painful. Tonight's loss doesn't hurt it just infuriates me to see the lack of effort from Aldridge. He played with no spine in this game.

This times 100.

Seeing Duncan lose was painful every time because i know how good he was and that the team should be doing better than that.

This team exceeded expectations tbh, at least regular season expectations.

For me personally, it doesn't sting because we were down by 30 by halftime and i just couldnt watch it anymore. It was too ugly. So Its just like oh well, move on to the next game.

But what i didn't like was that its one thing to give up a lot of 3's its another to just look dismal on offense, making Pringles defensive team look like world beaters. That bothered me more than anything.

Nah, not really surprising. No sting, just feel kinda bad for Kawhi

Meh, you'll never feel as low as 2013 and as high as 2014, as an NBA fan, tbh..

The past 2 seasons have been especially irrelevant, since the Warriors are in a different universe than the rest of the West..

Assuming Durant & Curry Re-Sign, what do you do? With those 2 plus Green there's no chance for anyone else to win unless you have 3 freak things go wrong like last year. So what do you do? Let them 3peat until Green's contract runs out and develop players like Murray & trade Aldridge and see what we can get? Seems like a waste of Kawhi's prime, but seriously those 3 make GS an unstoppable scoring force and a defensive force as well. And that's without Thompson. Or do you try and win now - go after Paul, resign Dedmon as his PnR partner and try and flip Aldridge for a stretch 4/backup wing, assuming Mills walks, Manu retires & Gasol/Parker's contracts are off the books after next season.

I don't know what do you think?
