A very satsifying loss tbh.

[Agloco]

We were never gonna get the 1 seed unless the Warriors lost 5+ games the rest of the way

Before last night the Spurs controlled their own destiny.

Yeah but if you looked at the schedule you would realize that we have 4 or 5 more losses to come tbh

[TDomination]

To have a chance to tie it up in the last minute of the game after that horrible offensive performances is pretty amazing really. It was hard to watch.

i feel like this is a key difference between us and GSW.

we both shot like crap in our last losses, but we gave ourselves a chance to win at the end with defense while their best defense is a great offense. even last night, they needed 116 to beat the Magic by 5.

bad shooting games are going to happen in the playoffs, but can you counter that with good defense. The Spurs biggest problem is that we seem to have a lot of slow starts and bad shooting games. But hopefully our defense can keep us within striking distance

That's why you play the games. One need not look at the schedule to know that the Spurs controlled their own destiny.

Now they need help.

the difference between us and Warriors is that Warriors would have won that type of game cause they fantastic at close games and finishing comebacks while Spurs falling short...

Let me spoil this for you now. We are not getting the 1 seed. We were never getting the 1 seed. That isnt how Pop coaches this team.

Spurs will be fine.

Yeah, you missed my point. The Spurs controlled thier own destiny for the first time since week 3.

Anything beyond that is just you making assumptions about what's yet to transpire.

Carry on though.

We controlled our destiny for almost the entire season actually.... In fact one of the first times we didnt was after we lost to Golden State, but okay

Well, I wasn't on ST in 2014 but I remember he said during the offseason -after the Spurs signed LMA-...that Kawhi should be the Spurs' #4 option

he still can't close, nor hasn't in the playoffs

[DMC]

Wasted TD and LMA's performance IMHO. Kawhi carried in the 1st half and in the 3rd I guess but that 4th was just abysmal for him and for everyone not named TD, Patty and LMA.

I don't think it was wasted - consider their goal isn't to set any regular season records but to improve and test that improvement against good teams.

I am starting to get to the point where I fell nobody will beat GS in the PO. Curry is hitting at the most ridiculous level the NBA has ever seen, and his supporting cast is really built up to support the way he plays. I hope, I am not right, but barring any major injuries, nobody will beat GS 4 times.

Your probably right, sadly.

[Spurtacular]

Attention thread, tbh.
