Round 2: Spurs (2) vs. Thunder (3)

[SD2042]

Sorry the Spurs lost the series. I was thinking they would have the series won 4-2 as the series began. The Thunder do have the best two players on the roster, but I thought with the Spurs defense would be enough to slow them down or at least put some pressure on them to frustrate their offensive production. I was wrong. The Thunder took advantage of the Spurs miscues and turned on the afterburners against them. Looks like the Spurs have some offseason plans to settle among other things for the next 3 to 4 months. Good season and good luck in the offseason.

Tough loss considering how well we played in the regular season, but the same issues that haunted us in the regular season really bit us in the ass against the Thunder. Inconsistent play from everyone not named Kawhi or LMA, poor ball movement and poor outside shooting.

I will give the Thunder a ton of credit though. I questioned their focus and drive in the past but they played this series like a team on mission and they deserve to be in the WCF's. Congrats to all the Thunder fans.

Knowing that there's a chance that my Raptors might have a more successful season than the historic Spurs makes me feel weird. And I'm not trolling here since the Spurs are my #2 team.

was anyone else mad that kawhi kept on settling for the step back and fade aways every time he posted down low? yes they were mostly open shots he wouldve made but all were bricks in the playoffs...shouldve just kept on attacking the rim for layups or drawing fouls to get to the ft line to get going... the spurs avg fta per game is just too low this series.

pop limiting his minutes or keeping him on the bench at times of the game or just too long to match with whatever moves donovan was doing with westbrick/kd minutes was a load of bs. there was a game westbrick was bench more minutes then expected and pop still had kawhi on the bench waiting for wb to be sub back in to make his counter move, while on the floor he had his bs lineup trying to play ball with the okc team still thinking his bench can hang out with any teams lineups...

some clowns are not happy kawhi is defending all 5 players on t he floor, but wants him to defend also the 3 other guys on the floor in zebra jerseys...

the spurs/coach/buford has been exposed, remember back 3-4 years ago when the spurs had like 3-4 perimeter players on the roster, the 2 backups wouldve been useful in t he playoffs in the series the spurs loss, but management had to get rid of 1 of them when that player wouldve came handy in the playoffs due to small ball and trying to match athleticism. just like this year with the treatment of simmons buried on the bench all playoffs...hence even the last few games of the rs he stop getting his regular minutes for no apparent reason (was there negative crap we didnt know about him why was his minutes limited or doghouse in favor of ka development?) and getting rid of rasual butler, but kept bonner 3.5m who did nothing all year and playoffs, lol loyalty. Butler wouldve been useful out there in this series, spurs could go small and match okc athleticism unlike KA on the floor who looks loss out there
