Spurs have no shot of winning more than one series in the Playoffs this year

[mikeya2k]

You gotta be kidding me dude. They stand no chance in a series with Houston or the Clippers.

Keep in mind though, a first round matchup between 2 elite (possible 2 matchups of elite) is inevitable in the first round.

Warriors will play Portland and Houston will play LA Clippers if the season ended today.

Regular season play < Playoff series play

Then I hope your a Heat backer come playoff time

Surprising stat about the Spurs so far: They are 7-9 so far vs. teams currently ranked in the Sagarin Top 10, and 25-1 against the rest of the league!

Regular season numbers don't mean much for the Spurs.
They sit so many players, don't go 100% all year. Start watching them the last few weeks of the season. That's when they start playing hard.

[KRIT]

I wouldn't quite write off the Spurs quite yet, but I do think their window is closing fast. They've been shit this year against elite teams, but they have had quite a few injuries (surprisingly to their younger plays: Green, Splitter, and now Leonard). A fully healthy Spurs team can play with anyone in a 7 game series, but it does look like this will be OKC's year if they can stay healthy.

They are especially 1-8 against the other teams in the West's top 5 (1-5 at home), the only win coming against a Paul-less Clippers.

This.

Plus, its a long season. If you recall last year they limped down the stretch even when they had a chance for home court.

The west is tough, its always tough. But when it comes to a 7 game loser go home series the Spurs know what they are doing.

[t-wizzle]

Now they are losing to teams without their best player. Unreal.

[jjgold]

Spurs seem to never be healthy, if they get all their guys back from last year they still should be tough.

[SBR_John]

NOT the same team with Leonard out. He may be thought of has their 4th or even 5th best player but to me he is their best player.

[jjgold]

Leonard is a top 15 player In the nba

THey miss him a lot

I'll give you 25 points if you can spell his first name right without looking it up.

Last year was the final run. They gave a hell of an effort and would have won if not for the miraculous 3 by Ray Allen but their ship has sailed.


I give Popovich, Duncan, Parker, Ginobili and the whole crew a ton of credit for lasting as long as they did. They probably should have burned out long before 2014 but it's clear to me that the run is over for these guys.



Detractors and trolls will come in here with "best record in the NBA" crap but all of that is meaningless. Pretty sure they had the best record in the league 3 years ago before getting their asses handed to them by the 8 seed Grizzlies in the first round. They might go and win 60 games again this year but it doesn't really matter. They have shown plenty of signs that the rest of the contenders have caught up. The younger, more athletic Thunder, Clippers, Blazers, Rockets, and Warriors will all prove to be too much in a 7 game series.


It's been a while since the Spurs could hang their hats on their defense but these days they can't stop anyone. That's what happens when you are too old/slow to close out and help on D.


San Antonio could win a round this year but that's it. I'll bump this thread down the road.

i think this is spot on, and have said so myself... look at the people they lose to..

in their last 10 games they have lost to OKC, Portland, Miami, and Houston

0-4 against these playoff teams.. they have no chance

[t-wizzle]

Destroyed at home by the 8 seed.

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

and? You act like 8 seeds in the west are bad teams. Dallas won 49 games. That's 3 seed in the east.

Oh yea because we're just gonna brush Spurs losing by 21 at home under the rug.

[Donkeys2012]

Air betting idiot so desperate for attention he is bumping threads after one loss by the spurs

Spurs fans will. Just like a word wasn't said from you the last 3 months in this thread.

Spurs played one of their worst games in a long time. It happens. In 2 of the spurs four finals runs they had a split in the first round. They had a split in the 2nd round last year. Nothing new here. Did Dallas come up with some über plan to beat the Spurs? No. They made shots and the Spurs beat themselves with lazy pases that led to 29 Dallas points and 12 missed FT's. They'll be fine.

What was I gonna say? "I still think Spurs won't get past the second round guys!!"

You're missing the point here. San Antonio isn't as good as people think they are. Tonight was a glimpse of that.

[jjgold]

Thye might lose in the 1st round

This could be a major call on Wizzle's resume

This is very irresponsible on your part JJ!! You know what your post it gonna do right? Twizzle's gonna double up with Dallas next game and get his ass handed over to him...why do u wanna make the kid lose money??

[Goat Milk]

You are way off here pal

Way off

Spurs can be down 3-0 in a series to Dallas and will still win 4 in a row, I hope you realize this?

No one in the West will beat SA

I don't like these dumb stats that oh they didn't beat good teams in the reg season

Wasn't Miami 1-10 against like .500 teams in the year everyone on this site said they wouldn't get passed Boston or Chicago in the East? Yeah....

[4TH AND STUPID]

overreaction left right and center is the theme of the day. dallas is a good team and can beat anybody in the league on any given night. what did you guys think nowitzki ellis marion were just going to sit down and twiddle their thumbs? these are elite pros. this forum is so dumb sometimes

[SharkAA]

I'll give you 25 points if you can spell his first name right without looking it up.

Ka-Why.

[jjgold]

The result was shocking last night


Spurs crushed everyone this year


What happened ?

Check the date on the thread. Spurs are probably going to get Portland in round two as long as they beat Dallas which I think they should.

So the question is: Can Portland beat the Spurs in a 7 game series?

[WalkingLuckCharm]

should not be discounting dallas already. series will come down to the wire; hit dallas series

Please tell me again how the Spurs are no longer relevant.

Oh oh I forgot they lost by 20 in the first round at home.

[Seto]

The rockets fukked you. Spurs have had no opposition so far.

Mavs were 1 stop and 1 score away from going up 3-1 on them too.

This thread cannot be judged until the WCF even though "literally" it lost.

Well, they're gonna win two and have a great shot to get back to the NBA finals so I think we can judge the proclamation that they wouldn't win more than one. Spurs are far from washed up and will make the NBA finals again, IMO. Especially if the Clippers make it but I guess that would just be considered no opposition again.

Another fail from Wizzy and Spurs haters.

[Seto]

No Clippers would be good opposition.

They have not faced another top 4 seed yet. Portland stink. I said they were frauds from day 1 when people were crowning them as a possible WCF winner.

I'm not saying Spurs will or won't win I couldn't care less just beating the mavs and blazers is hardly an achievement.

[Cuse0323]

You play who is in front of you...they're about to sweep pretty easily. I guess the Heat beating a 7 and now probably a 6 (though that's still a series) is hardly an achievement. I don't get the logic but we shall see. Think they win it all, myself. Earning the one seed means you don't play the best right away.
