They lost the finals last year due to a missed free throw, not because they were old.

They almost won because they have a superior coach. They lost game 7 because they are old. It's the simple truth. They do match up better against the heat than the thunder do, but if you're placing odds you have to give the heat the advantage. And the reason they have trouble with OKC is that OKC can play high octane.

This doesn't make any sense. The Heat were older than them on average. The only old players on the Spurs are Duncan and Ginobili. Duncan performed well. Ginobili played dreadfully and you can chalk that up to being
but he's one player. They didn't lose because they were old. They lost because a guy in his early 20's missed a free throw and the other team had Lebron James.
Not really. Manu played horribly in a pivotal game 3 I believe which can be attributed to age.
The OP jinxed that sweep. The Spurs will not get 4-0'd

Read my initial point again. I am saying that despite having young role players, they are only role players. The Spurs core 3 players are old. The Heat are the opposite. Their big 3 are at an age where basketball players are hitting their primes. Wade is shaky due to his knees but even he has huge contributions. Their role players are old.
The reason the spurs almost worked last year was Popovich. I hope you guys beat the thunder this year, honestly, just because I'm still irritated by that game 5. It will be difficult though because the thunders best players are just below their prime age.

The're playing like a machine programmed to win it all.
They older players are still playing, and the younger players have gotten more experienced. if they wipe the floor with OKC, I think they win it all.

And I'm saying the age thing didn't really apply except in the case of Manu. Tony Parker isn't even old. He was 31 in the finals last year. Duncan is obviously old, but his age didn't really show in the finals. He averaged 18.8 and 12 rebounds and shot 49% and was the best big in the series.
Pop coached a good series, but he fukked up bad by inexplicably sitting Parker for long stretches in the 4th and continuing to go with Manu for so long and keeping he ball in his hands in the last 2 4th quarters when he kept turning the ball over, and not having Duncan in the game at the end for rim protection.
Despite how
Ginobili was, we wouldn't be having this conversation if Kawhi makes that free throw at the end, or if Ginobili made the one before that. They choked it away in game 6 or they would've won 4-2. Then in game 7, Lebron finally took over and went Lebron. Age wasn't the primary factor in them losing. Now when they lost in the WCFs to OKC the year before, it would clear and visible that they were winded going up against youth and intensity of Harden, Durant, Westbrook, Sef, and Ibaka. Age and a gap in athleticism was very glaring there. Miami last year, not so much.
I want you guys to win the title
But OKC is a matchup nightmare and its compounded because the NBA is pushing for Durant to win his first championship
Yeah, I just don't see how San Antonio wins a game in this series.
Its a lock that Leonard will get in foul trouble so no one's there to guard KD
And Ginobili's turnover prone ways will be highlighted with more athletic defenders in front of him
