Spurs Pursuit Of The 1 Seed

[D-rob fan]

I wish they would allow you to purchase single games that are shown on NBATV. Unfortunately, it counts as a national game and cannot be purchased.

Spurs were p'wned in both regular season matchups vs the Pistons that year including a 15 point drubbing in San Antonio where Spurs had won something like 71 out of their last 74 home games. I don't think they feared anyone.

Bruh, they WANTED the home-court by all means necessary b/c of what happened in Gm 7 of the '05 Finals. Last I checked OKC drubbed the Spurs in 2014 & got blown the out in ALL 3 games at San Antonio in the playoffs. Not to mention the Pistons flamed out in the PLAYOFFS when they ran out of gas.

[Obstructed_View]

They looked dejected during their post-game interview & Draymond has been whining about needing a rest but the troops not holding their end of the bargain thus having to suit up.

It's not their record but the way they are playing that matters; teams can beat up on the Lakers even while they're coasting.

Then the comparison to the Pacers is way off, because they went from 18-2 in the first month of the season to 12-18 in the last month. That's a big projection for a team that lost two out of three after the start they had.

The only instance I recall this happening for was this season when Golden State was playing their 15th game (on a Sunday, picked up by ESPN) and 16th game (on a Tuesday, picked up by TNT) to tie and break the record for best start to the season. I really wish they would move this from NBATV to one of those two networks. I have NBA League Pass on Uverse in Dallas and the only games I don't get to see are NBATV (included on a more expensive tv plan) and Mavericks/Spurs Games (Must have Fox Sports Southwest). I'm not paying a couple hundred dollars more per year to get 5-6 extra games.

Don't know this for sure, but I think you may be able to purchase NBA TV or NBA League Pass games a la carte.

I thought it was weird that it wasn't on national TV in the first place. Maybe, it's in FS's contract that not all conference match-ups between two teams can be on national TV...

It's a Monday night. ESPN and TNT don't televise games on Monday night's.

Great for me, that would most likely be a televised game for NBA TV Asia on cable that i got at home. No ty streaming quality that looks so small on laptop screen or fudgy on LED TV screen, but rather FHD quality on 50" screen, nice.

I can't watch NBA TV games neither.

So... archived it is.


On the topic, we would all be miserable if the Spurs end up with the #1 seed just to be eliminated by the whine & flop crew again.
They need to make sure they get revenge this time.

Still half a season, but it's great this team has a real chance at HCA without burning out anybody.

Oops, wrong thread

[Gutter92]

Duncan is the best by far, he's a top 5 all time player. Malone was good, no doubts about that, but he depended on Stock. When MJ or Pippen disrupted their offense, Malone wasn't great creating. For those that didn't saw Duncan in his first 7-8 seasons, he was by far the best Spur in 2013, when Manu and Pop throw away the 'ship in the dying seconds of the finals game 7.

It would make sense to have Dirk before Malone, since Dirk was able to get the job done. Kevin Garnett was never better then Duncan, not even during his MVP season. The 'Wolfs tended to pad his stats in blowouts and his game was less suited for playoffs.

Great contribution to the topic at hand.

Fixed!

In pursuit of that 1 seed, I'm forced to root for the Cavs tonight. Not an easy thing to do, tbh.

[ace3g]

Cavs aren't cooperating right now...

Maybe you should have pulled for Golden State.

[Darius Bieber]

Lol Spurs... Struggled against the Cavs at home while the Warriors are up 30 at half IN CLEVELAND. No way the Spurs can handle the Warriors.

[Agloco]

Abberant performances by both teams. Pretty lame thh.

[spurs10]

It's really a shame that the WCF is going to be more important than the Finals. If Cavs lose by less than 25 it's a big success.

[Horry Hipcheck]

So much for help from the Cavs

We all better hope GS doesn't lose the game before they host the Spurs

Spurs struggled against the Cavs? What game were you watching? After the Spurs came out like ass in the first quarter and the Cavs started missing, it was smooth sailing.

[BillMc]

Maybe.

Styles make fights. Cavs match up better with us and we might match up better with the Dubs. We'll see what happens next Monday.

Kinda like GSW vs the Cavs at home.

You act like you never seen an NBA game. Blowouts happen. The Pistons blew the Spurs out in games 3 and 4 of the 05 Finals but that didn't stop us from winning the series.

[BatManu20]

Looks like the reports of Golden State's death were greatly exaggerated.

[Spurtacular]

Hmmm. I ignored the bug in my mind that was telling me Cleveland would not show up for the game vs. GS. And I dunno if Noah-less Chicago will be up to the task.

[313]

The Worriers are falling apart like the 2013-14 Pacers after burning themselves out chasing the #1 seed with Barnes playing the Hibbert role & Draymond being Lance. Just need Klay to Curry's wife.

Solid take tbh

It's not a meter of them showing up, they're just not the better team

[spurs10]

How 'bout those Cavs! They go this!
