If you had to blame one player for the WCF series loss, who would it be?

Durant. I would say Parker because he could've played way better, but I expected a meltdown from him. Sometimes I don't think he has any control over it. But Durant was a cold-blooded assassin.

[blkroadrunners]

I'd say Durant. Many of his 3s and long 2 ptrs were ridiculous.

The fact is we weren't as disruptive enough on defense and allowed them to get a good rhythm on offense. We certainly needed to throw more looks at Durant. The only guys we used were SJax and Kawhi when DG could have helped.

Different looks don't matter when the refs start calling the game differently. Green wouldn't have done .

You can't give an offense steady looks of the same kind. I understand you want to take away 3's and points in the point but giving an NBA offense a steady diet of open looks is a recipe for disaster. Yeah they shot a higher than usual percentage but those were wide open looks. The Spurs have to regain that desire and effort to compete on the defensive end regardless of their athleticism.

You must not think Larry Brown is a good Xs and Os coach, then.

LB: "We want to make sure we stop this, and contest that and play them this way to make sure that the ball winds up in player A's hands."

Interviewer: "What happens if he's making his shots?"

LB: "We lose."

That's a HOF coach and his philosophy. You play the percentages.

I also doubt they were getting "wide open looks". They rarely happen in the NBA. There's a lot of revisionist history being written around here, post playoffs.

DG is like 6'5". Why not throw 5'11" Patty Mills a him, while you're at it?

It's a team effort and hence it is hard to pick one player

I also give Tony an excuse as Sefalosha was assigned to guard him who is a bigger player and play good defense although Tony being the team first scoring option should at least give more contributions than what he did.

But Timmy should be utimately responsible. He is the highest paid player and should bear more responsibility than others.

Dejuan Blair.

I would never blame someone for something I couldn't personally do myself.





what "real" sports fan would, besides you?

How about we used to put Hill on Durant and he was even shorter.

David Stern For Influencing The Officiating...... One of the worst officiated Series I have Seen..... Even Duncan Made A comment About the Officiating after the series...

But Danny Green, Matt bonner, Tiago Splitter, deserve some of the blame on The Spurs Side....
