Thunder: Trounced a 67 win team and took a 73 win team to 7....

[Killakobe81]

They would have probably lost to the Wolves in the WCF if Cassell wasn't injured but the Wolves were the best team in the league when healthy.

But as far a the Finals:

you are probably right we were in full on dysfunction I thin that was when Karl made the the little Mexican girls comment ...

[Killakobe81]

everyone talks about shot selection but Kobe's girl selection (rape or not) is what did us in ...2004.

[LkrFan]

Oh look, da_suns_fan defending losers again. You gonna throw a parade for them too?

CN bolded Black, like a Spur Fan. Hmmm.

[LkrFan]

So the Thunder deserve praise but the Spurs choked? You can't have it both ways.

Yes, the Spurs choked. I guess 55 > 67

[LkrFan]

Spurs fan bitterness is boiling over.

Their team loses to lower seeds all the time. You'd think they'd be use to it by now.

[LkrFan]

this shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit Spur Nation!

[LkrFan]

Are you surprised? Lakerfans never own losses.

- Get swept by the Spurs in '99.

"Uh, uh, Kobe wasn't in his prime yet and we didn't have Phil!"

- Lose to the Spurs in '03

"Shaq and Kobe were feuding. Shaq was also overweight!"

- Blow 3-1 lead to the Suns

"They were the much better team anyway. No one even expected us to compete!"

- Lose '08 Finals, which involved blowing a 24 point second half lead on their home floor and culminated in a 40 point beatdown in the closeout game.

"We didn't have Bynum. Also, that Celtics team was obviously much better." (never mind the fact pretty much everyone had the Lakers winning that series. I mean, the Atlanta Hawks put up more of a fight than the Lakers against that team )

But when the Lakers win, it's always against the other team's peak, like the '01 series, when we were shuffling out corpses on the perimeter. Or the pre-Manu '02 squad. We did choke against them in '04, though. Or that geriatric 50 win Boston team they beat in '10 to get "revenge."

Did you own 8 or 6?

You have no room. You lost to the lower seeded Spurs in 05 and 07.

Don't muddle the 'truth' with useless facts bb.

I never lost to the Spurs.

The Spurs lose to lower seeds all the time though. As I said, they've been taught to OBEY for so long they dont know what to do when theyre backed into a corner. They dont fight, they roll over.

You have no room. Your Nash rolled over twice to the lower seeded Spurs in 05 and 07.

[da_suns_fan]

Since 2000, the following teams have defeated the Spurs as a lower seed:

1) The Lakers (twice)
2) The Thunder (twice)
3) The Mavericks (twice)
4) The Grizzlies (an eight seed)
5) The Suns (although Duncan was injured...still, a loss is a loss).

Thats 8 times in 16 years.

To put that in perspective, Kobe and the Lakers lost to a lower seed twice in 14 years of making the playoffs.

The Thunder have lost to a lower seed once in six years of making the playoffs.

No one comes close to San Antonio when it comes to rolling over.

[da_suns_fan]

1 out of 3 teams in the Western Conference can say they've beaten Pop's Spurs as a lower seed.

Three teams can say they did it twice!

I dont care.

Spurs lose to lower seeds half the time. Its not an anomaly.

So the question is, why do the Spurs lose to inferior opponents so often?

And yet your Suns couldn't beat them as the higher seed when you had stacked rosters.

[midnightpulp]

Gotdamn, have the Spurs traumatized DSF

And at counting the '00 victory when Duncan was injured.

Gonna throw a parade for that one, too?

[Sean Cagney]

People are defending OKC as in they didnt blow this series and their best shot at a le...

Cot damn ing right.......

Da Suns fan is going through PTSD over here from the 00's, he is like most Suns fans and their owner.

[Kawhitstorm]

Since their inaugural season in 1968, the Suns have won as many le as the following team
1) Pelicans
2) Clippers
....rest of the teams that have never made it out of the 2nd rd:

FIFY

The question is why are the Suns the biggest postseason fodder in NBA history:

the Suns are the team with the highest winning percentage to have never won an NBA championship.

[bdictjames]

I actually agree with OP over here.

I actually agree with OP over here.

Of course you do. You're yet another piss pot chicken from upstairs. I spit on you.

[benefactor]

Hilarious thread, tbh.

[da_suns_fan]

Who cares?

Why are the Spurs the kings of losing to lower seeds? No one else (Suns included) even comes close to their rate of failing against inferior opponents.

When you lose half the time to lower seeds, can it still be called an "upset"?
