    Spurs were 67-15 that season. Second to the dubs.

    What I remember is this, Anus Kanter and Steven Adams absolutely abused us on the rebounding thanks to the turd tower(boris diaw/david west) that Poopovich kept insisting on in the line-up.

    LMA started out hot but cooled down the rest of the series. Kawhi didn't play well majority of the series.

    No answer for KD and Westbrook... and rebounding... no answer for Kanter/Ibaka/Adams and throw in the rebounding efforts of Westbrook/KD. It was a wrap.

    pretty much this. Kawhi and LMA didn't play as well as the series went on and there was definitely some questionable officiating but the getting obliterated on the glass was the biggest reason imo

    Tim’s second knee went bad. He rested it for a while, came back well for a couple of weeks, but it crapped out in the playoffs, which is why Kanter and Adams feasted, and why Pop had to play other players more minutes.

    Not staggering Duncan/LMA/Diaw/West correctly. Flat out not playing Boban.

    Of course this could've all been averted by never signing West in place of a legit center.

    Duncan's good knee blew up midseason. It was over after that.

    Yup. There's a reason Duncan retired after that series. He said he'd play until the wheels fell off, and they finally did.

    Like others said Duncan's good knee went bad and caused him to be washed up. If the Spurs had 2015 Duncan instead then they would have won this series.

    The frustrating thing was West was automatic from midrange all season and then it completely dried up in the playoffs.

    Tim's knee is a decent answer but the reality is the 2016 Spurs were one of our best teams ever talent wise and should never have depended on going as far as a 39 year old Tim Duncan would take them. If Pop had stopped playing West and Diaw constantly against Kanter and Adams and played Boban here and there I think Spurs win that series

    Pop refusal to play Boban. Would have kept OKC off the boards and spurs probably win in 6.

    Another mental midget team that never got over any mental block except to beat the spurs...just like the clippers.

    The reality is that every ring team depended on Tim, even 2014, no matter what his age. He’d always answer the bell when others were playing sub par, like Kawhi in games 1-2 in 2014.

    The new rules were already in effect, and Westbrook would have played him off the floor in two or three minutes by switching.

    Same old story with the NBA... Spurs get good & win a championship, NBA tweaks the rules to keep that from happening again.

    If I recall weren't the refs making some terrible calls that basically cost us the series?

    It was definitely bad. A ridiculous call at the end of Game two that swung the game. I left that game feeling sick.
