I’m sorry that not everyone agrees with your opinion. If you can’t handle that then maybe a message board isn’t the place for you.

Ok, you win I guess. Feel better? Or do you feel better when you lose? I’m confused about that part.

“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

As I’m confused on why you feel you need to be the positivity police. We almost lost at home to a team missing most of their best players. Why can’t I call it like I see it without you taking offense at everything that isn’t positive? You want to read positive comments by me? Go read the Golden State thread or the comments I made before the season started. My comments currently reflect this teams performances so far, not some delusion of what I wish were true.

What is confusing to you about people not feeling inspired by barely beating Bryn Forbes and Joffrey Lauvergne?

If the team plays well then that happens. See: Golden State.
If they keep playing like crap then there will be an eternal schism between the optimists and realists/pessimists.
36 points in a half and having to survive a Brandon Paul wide open buzzer beater tends to drag the mood down.

Nothing confusing about pessimism at all. To each his own. I will keep my optimism to myself, take care.

Was it pretty? Nope. But it’s a good sign they won two close games down the stretch considering how many they’ve blown.
Can’t get these games back. An ugly W is better than a pretty L
I'd argue they blew this game down things stretch, it's just the spurs were down to Brandon Paul so they couldn't capitalize on it. This isn't quite beating a D-league team in the final seconds, but it's pretty close. Spurs 5 leaders in minutes were
Dajounte Murray
Brandon Paul
Bryn Forbes
Davis Bertans
Joffrey Lauvergne

No need to leave. Optimism is appreciated, but when optimism/pessimism turns to condescending remarks toward those that don’t share your views, it becomes contentious.
Yes, I’m referring to myself as well. This season has been a massive disappointment to me thus far. I really don’t want to come on here and argue as it just makes me feel even more pissed about this team. Keep your optimism around.

And? They didn’t have a choice in who SAS put on the floor.
They got the W. That’s all that matters. It’s progress considering how many they choked away.

What does that matter? They still handed the spurs opportunities, they still gave the game away, the spurs just didn't have the players capable of taking it.

Why does getting the W matter? Is that what you’re asking?

To paraphrase Slick: 'Close wins are mostly luck.' against Manny, If Wiggins doesn't that game winning three, the outcome changes but the way we played doesn't. So yes, we got a win, but we still gave away a lead, couldn't score in the second half, and handed the other team a great opportunity in the closing stretch. Being encouraged by increased movement is nice, but it's really just a silver lining in another poorly played game.
