Let The Excuses for the Spurs begin

[MJ Truth]

They only have 2 reliable scorers. Bench is washed. Duncan is washed. Green is damn near washed. How is it not an issue of talent?

So they won 67 games and played historic defense according to the analytic nerds and all of y'all were guaranteeing us a SAS-GSW WCF and saying Cleveland had no chance against either but all of this time they just didn't have the talent to compete with a team I was told only had two great players who didn't trust their teammates, a terrible coach no better than the last guy, and couldn't hold a lead?

this was taken from spurs talk. It's crazy the amount of time the spurs lost with home court advantage in the playoffs..

2001 Spurs-Great reg season.Dominant first 2 rounds then pistol whipped by Lakers.

2004 Spurs-Great reg season.Dominant 1st 6 games of playoffs,outclassed Lakers 1st 2 games then choked like dogs.

2006 Spurs-Best win total til date.Lost almost every pivotal close game in series,including game 7 on their home floor to a team who choked every close game in the finals.

2011 Spurs-Lost to 8th seed

2012 Spurs-Won 20 games in a row.20 fukking games in a row!,then lose 4 straight to Thunder.

2016 Spurs-Set franchise for most wins to total collapse in the 2nd round.Lost one game all season at home,then lose 2 games in one series to Thunder

they could've easily had 2 or 3 more ships had they handled their business with HCA. for the record jordan never lost a series with HCA, lebron lost 3 times with HCA, Kobe lost twice

Kawhi needs more help

Jesus is not helping ?

 

[malbaker86]

Never any excuses from us

 

[John Reena]

"Kawhi is a top 5 player in the league."

"The Spurs are so DEEP."

"They are the clear favs to win the title."

"They are so dominant at home."

So if the Warriors beat the Thunder in six, will GSW be asterisk'd again because they didn't beat the Spurs or nah

i dont think they are beating the thunder

If they woulda have won, it was their experience and elite coaching from Pop. Now that they got bounced. They're just too old

 

[ReggieFlare]

they won 67 games while resting players and had historically good defense.....

i knew yall would pull this, and act like they were never that good to begin with

I wouldnt say that they weren't that good but I thought their offense has been sus all year.

i dont think they are beating the thunder

I did say if. I think OKC is a tougher matchup for GSW than people are willing to give them credit for.

if Westbum comes thru and really limits his turnovers bye, bye GS

KD is already a lock for busting their ass

I wouldnt say that they weren't that good but I thought their offense has been sus all year.

I went to the Wizards-Spurs game early in the season, the one where Brad Beal hit the game winning 3 over Aldridge

Watching that game I was like at watching how 1990s esque the offense became. 6 months earlier they were playing the same motion ball movement offense that drove everyone nuts, that's inspired GSW to dominate the league.

No excuses for the Spurs. That team got old real quick and you can't hide Duncan's age behind young pieces.

But let's give credit to the Thunder. In think Durant and Westbrook have managed balance each others games and they low key have a nice front court rotation a good enough one to.compete with golden state.

 

[lightskin jermaine]

no excuses, we played like some bums. okc outplayed us and their supporting cast actually showed up and showed out. best of luck to okc

sucks we lost but was still the most entertaining series of the playoffs. time for the post duncan era to begin
