Spurs should have won game 1..but whole series? I’m not sure..
I need to watch that game:
It would have been amazing to beat the Warriors and beat LeBron in the finals again.
Spurs were pretty close to repeating and also beating 2 of the most notable superteams in history. It's a shame 2013 and 2017 didn't end differently.
Spurs should have won game 1..but whole series? I’m not sure..
Name another team that has lost more series after winning game 1 since ‘97 more than the spurs
My point still stands. Spurs have by far and away the most win game 1 and choke the rest of the series happen to them more than any other team in the past 25 years.
Rockets have lost 5 too and won only 5 after winning game one. They've played much fewer playoff series too. I'll let you do your own research from here on.
You have no point other than contending for the whiniest ass poster, but there's a lot of compe ion for this le.
Absolutely. That was their first year together (and we'd smoked them earlier that year too, this wasn't a fluke). That's the best chance to catch a 'super team' when they haven't been through adversity together yet at that high level (see 2011 Mavs) They were super focused from the jump, you can tell they had a plan in place on how to attack that team.
Exactly. It's a lot easier to try and find those sort of stats against the Spurs when they never miss the playoffs lol. How about other teams who "choke" all regular season and miss the playoffs.
The Spurs are infamous for blowing huge leads. I doubt we even would've won game 1 tbh fwiw imo
It was frightening how quickly they imploded in just 12 minutes when Kawhi got injured. LMA was back then.
And who's to say Kawhi would've shown up like that every night? He was fantastic in 2017 but had a few stinkers in the Rockets series.
Like this year's Spurs.
who knows. I think probably yes.
I mean, they're still in the playoffs as of now, despite the injuries/personnel changes they've had. Teams that stay relatively healthy and don't have as much roster change have done far worse than us this season. Nice try though
Built to beat the Warriors? They couldn't even hold onto a 24 point lead with 16 minutes left to play without their talisman. And then they were swept out of the playoffs like it was nothing. They should have had enough talent outside of Kawhi to win that game.
Spurs missed the playoffs?
Yes, because a 67 win team isn't capable of making series adjustments after a loss.
The Real question should be if they don't blow 2013, does 2014 happen?
You were never a Spurs fan if you took that whiny Gay Allen's side vs. Bowen, tbh.
What? Of course not.
This team's issue,the Duncan's Spurs i mean,was never being talented enough.It was being motivated enough.
We lacked a psychopath like Jordan,who could not enjoy life without winning.
But that 2013 loss motivated them so much that they played the best basketball ever played,so,who cares?
You weren't paying attention. Kawhi was the centerpiece. Warriors didn't have an answer for him, cept to do a hit.
Strawman.
Warriors in 5...maybe 6. Game 1 was just the Spurs chance to get a game.
Nope.
Mills and Green as our staring backcourt
Gasoft as our starting center
Should I add more....
Warriors in 6 tops
Spurs in 6
Win Game 1
Lose Game 2
Win Game 3
Lose Game 4
Win Game 5
Win Game 6
I loved Game 1 of 82 that year. We blew out the warriors like nobodys business.
Everyone was hyping up that Durant was there, they were going to be completely unbeatable with him there. And first game @ Golden State. Blowout delivered by the Spurs. That was awesome.
Game 1 of the Playoffs was shaping out to be exactly like that. An injury derailed that.
How many times has Golden State been gifted an injury to an opponent that can beat them or at least compete with them?
2015 Finals - Kyrie was out. It was just Lebron and Co and still took them to 6 games. Warriors Win
2016 Finals - Teams actually fully healthy. Result: Warriors Lose
2017 WCF - Spurs up big, Kawhi gets hurt, out for series: Results: Warriors Win
2018 WCF - Houston up 3-2 with a game 6 @ Houston. Chris Paul gets hurt misses last 2 games lol. Warriors Win.
It takes a lot of luck to win a championship but man they've had all the luck recently. I'm hoping this year can be an unlucky year for them.
Kevin Love was also out during the 2015 Finals.Lebron was missing his #2 and #3.
I think the Warriors still win, but it would have been much closer than most think. 6 or 7.
There where a couple stories that stated the Spurs felt they had a chance. Going into the season they felt GS might be vulnerable to length and movement. Game 1 of the regular season and playoffs suggest they might have been on the right track. Remember they also lost Tony who was playing well.
