If the reality check is TP going 0-4 in the first half and looking like a punk, then the Spurs don't even belong in the playoffs.
I'll always believe in the Spurs while there's a chance, any chance at all, but my outlook has definitely tilted.
This is a thread for the fans on this site that don't jump ship when the Spurs take a proper ass beating.
The loss was humbling for our players. A reality check for all of them, which is a positive. This team has too much depth and chemistry to give up on after one solid beat down.
Give credit where credit is due. Bynum was a beast. Kobe sat, so the entire Laker team had something to prove, they came out hungry, we didn't.
The Spurs will take a lot from this loss and I'm confident that it will light a fire under their ass.
So, for those that can shrug off a regular season humiliation and believe, please sign in.

DJB, do you believe the Spurs (as currently coached) can beat the Lakers in a 7-game series? Why or why not?
Use at least 2 references.
You can't put it all on Tony Parker. Sure, the Spurs are going no where against a Laker team if TP isn't agressive, but Andrew Bynum didn't grab those 30 rebounds by boxing out Tony Parker.
El Che been preaching all year this team is mostly a mirage. We have not addressed the issues from last year.
But still, I just dropped $200 on Spurs gear for the playoffs. I'm all in.
Real fan checking in...
I believe this is the fourth "i still believe" thread started/bumped in the last 12-14 hours.

All that matters is in a matchup of class, Spurs taking that in 4.
Reference #1
Reference #2
I'm in for better or worse. And I'd still be in even if we were in the cellar.
, I've been a Cowboys fan for these past 16 masochistic years.
All in. But hope we avoid Lakers and Grizzlies as we don't match up well with either.
we just can't play the lakers. avoid them for the playoffs, hope they get injured/get beaten by other teams.
signed in. But I think teams are starting to take it to a playoff level now. We need to be winning going into the playoffs. I'm signing in pencil. If Memphis handles us tonight, I'll be getting my eraser out. I think we will go far, but we have to playing to our potential. I was thinking championship a couple of days ago, My confidence level in the team will be solidified in the next 10 games or so. This is when teams start to pick up their play.
I'm torching the NBDL...bring me up, RC! Patty looked like an overrated Aussie last night
It's quite simple...You play like , you get the beat outta ya!!! Nothing has changed but a bad game is just that , a bad game! Mike Brown played his guys over 35 minutes last nite. If Diaw would've attempted a few shots from the outside maybe he unclogs the lane. If Timmy outside shot is falling you gotta come out te paint. Let'em rebound the ball as it comes outta the nets. Play more inspired ball going forward. It's that simple!
Honestly some of you guys need to chill the out with all this "we can't win" !
Is that you Dejuan? Are you trying to make an argument for keeping your starting spot?
I'll say this: Last year toward the end of the season, I vividly remember watching a Lakers/Mavericks game. The date was March 31st, 2011.
I don't typically remember other teams basketball games this vividly. If it's not the Spurs I don't really care. However, this one was different. The Lakers were putting a thorough beat down on the Mavericks in each and every way possible. Mentally and physically. Jason Terry and Matt Barnes were barking at each other. Kobe was getting in to it with Dirk, etc etc. I had never seen a team get in to another as bad as I did this day:

I remember saying to my self:"The Mavericks better hope to god they don't have to face this Laker team in the playoffs."
But now you tell me. What happened when the Dallas Mavericks met the Lakers in the playoffs last season?
Of course I'm ALWAYS "IN." But you can't ignore the fact that some chairs need to be RE-arranged-- and PRONTO! Time is almost out, for Chrissakes!
... No more walking on egg-s s and pussy-footing around. There are also THE OBVIOUS OBSTACLES, but I just don't care to go there right now. A blind person could figure it out. Or could he? Nuff said.
In other news... GAME ON TONIGHT!!![]()
If our players man the up and don't play like scared, soft pussies, basically a team of Richard Jeffersons against the Lakers/Grizzlies/anyone, then I like our chances. But if they play scared like last night, it doesn't matter. Tony Parker's nuts fell off last night, he didn't do , and we will never get anywhere with our best offensive player playing like hot garbage
I'm always in, always have been but I'll still rip the players that fall short of what they're suppose to do.
Just because you say something bad about your own team doesn't make you a non-believer or a hater. You just see it for what it is.
There is a line in believing in something and been delusional.
Just saying..
Well said.
Bad games happen.
Spurs > Thunder > Bulls > Heat > Kings > Mavs > Lakers
