Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich’s streak of 22 straight seasons in the Playoffs is the longest streak by any head coach/manager in U.S Sports History (NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB).

Good!!

What a disappointment. The peak of our season was when we agreed to a deal with Morris in the off-season its been all down hill since his renegging

Since the Spurs joined the NBA, they've made the playoffs something like 90% of the time. In the last 30 years, they've been in the playoffs 29 of those time, this being year number 31. But the idiot above me thinks we are going to be relocated.

[ZeusWillJudge]

There's no tie-breaker. We just don't have the chance of getting to the Suns and Grizzlies winning % because we played two less games.

Ahhh... now I get it. The Spurs just ran out of games. I've been trying to figure out why some of you loons were barking about two fewer games. You're all sure that if the Spurs had just gotten to play a couple more games, they would have won them and set the playoff streak record.

Because those two games would have been so much different than all the other games in this season.

Proud or my franchise.

The are you talking about I've never once said that

A of a run and Spurs went down still throwing punches with 6-2 bubble record. There's a bright future ahead with our young guns. Go Spurs Go

Be sure to thank Bryn Forbes on Twitter and IG, guys. Careful, he might block you though.

A great run. It had to end sometime, that's ok. 5 rings. On to next season.

5-3

If missing the playoffs takes a pandemic and a technicality that you played less games (and lost less games) than other teams, so be it.

Meanwhile, go Nets so we have a chance at the 10th pick

The way they played this bubble? Sure it would have been different than the rest of the season. The Spurs won 70% of the games (they cared about) on this bubble.

Brent Forms, the streak slayer. Smh.

[phxspurfan]

Sad day tbh. Now tied for the longest playoff streak in NBA history.

of a ride it was though. Deserves its own thread and to be applauded tbh.

how BSPN left Bruce out of the pictures

Maybe if Forbes got only the minutes he deserved this season (and wasn’t starting most games) we would be easily 8th

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Pop ruined what could’ve been a fun season and great learning experience

[timtonymanu]

Had to end at some point but the blame goes mostly to Pop and then Forbes for being on the roster. This team could have done much better if Pop had his head out of his ass but the team gets what they deserve in the end. Another postseason run would have just allowed the front office to be content with their pieces but really a lot of the vets need to go. Stop this loyalty/corporate knowledge bull .

'Bryn has carved out a nice NBA career for himself '

All thanks to Bryn Forbes.

Well actually Pop, I guess. Not Forbes' fault he doesn't have the ability. The Bubble minutes from DW and Keldon showed just how ing absurd it was for Bryn to be third in minutes on this team.

[phxspurfan]

it ended when dejounte murray waved off derozan
fook murray

While annoying, one mistake doesn’t a season make. It was definitely a culmination of all the dudes Forbes let run by him for layups. While he clapped in dismay and asked for the ball out of bounds to jack up another three

[timtonymanu]

Remember this team got swept by the two worst teams in the East this season

It took Pop like after 50 some games to finally play White and Murray together. Just a ty coaching job all around that my nigs Mugen rightfully called out all season

[Spurtacular]

You guys talk about Forms (and Mills); but don't forget Poop pretending Lyles is a starter-level player for two f*cking years. What a joke.

Don't think I've ever seen a team use three end-of-the-bench players as starters (at one time) so much ever.

[Truth4sale$]

Only thing that stopped the Spurs run was the stoppage.
It was a GREAT 22 years! Who would ever think a small market team could go that long. NOW on to Seattle or Vegas
