I wouldn't be shocked if the Spurs win the next 3 and move on! GS played as well as they possibly could and we missed like every 3. It won't happen again.
Pros:
Neither of these teams are Memphis or Clippers. I don't care what people say with Westbrook going down thoese 2 teams are the biggest threat to us so we caught a break in that sense.
Cons:
Our perimeter defense wasn't as great in the month of April, not sure we can take any solace in that by watching the Lakers series, since their backcourt was pretty much a D-League back court.
@rtesoro440 Shut your mouth and please don't post on this forum again.
@UsernameAlvin @rtesoro440 lol this guy is an ignorant LA fan. He only shows up on the forums when our team isn't rolling. He didn't show his face around here for much of the season. As soon as our team falters because of injuries he comes here and poses as a fan. Just ignore him lol
As long as the Lakers don't get the Serge Ibaka case and have the role players shoot 30 for 30, we're fine. Also we need people to step up, we need at least 2 of our bench players to play well every game, maybe Neal, or McGrady or even bonner. As long as these guys don't shoot 1 for 20 from 3, we should be fine.
@rtesoro440 you're such a negative troll lol I'm glad Spurs haters hate us so much that they have to pose as fans and post over 140 posts, it makes me feel proud of my team.
Spurs in 5, only reason I'm saying 5 is, I'll give Gasol and Howard one game to play out of their minds. The Lakers are a horrible defensive team, they have nobody on parameter, we actually have big men that match up with them in the post, if TP plays at 70% of what he has been all season, Lakers have no shot to beat us.
I mean he doesn't have to do much,he probably has to play 8-10 min a game in the first round, till Manu gets back in form.
pretty sure pop will not rest anyone tonight, we need to make sure to use the last 3 games to get our heads together. Luckily we will not be challenged in the first round since Lakers, Utah or the Rockets have such glaring weaknesses that we should be fine, but we need to get back to play great Defense and moving the ball on offense to be able to advance the finals. We need Manu and Boris if we're to beat OKC/Heat....
yea this was very unexpected, I guess pop really wants to win a championship!!!
ok we all like Captain Jack cause of who he is, but to be honest, he has played very poorly all season long. There's no reason why we should even pay a guy 10mil who's not even in our top 10 most used line up. We'll be just fine!
lol I would love to play the Lakers as opposed to the Rockets, we'll take care of them in 5.
@Emicris @rtesoro440 pretty sure he's not a Spurs fan he doesn't show up when the Spurs are doing well! All he can talk about is negatives. When we were winning last season he shut up and did not even comment, now that we're struggling a bit he has found his good old "please Mr. Holt" lol Like a billionare would read blogs....
Is that me or is Tony a huge factor in our defense?
this guy is an absolute liability on defense. I do not understand why we even talk about our 5th best big man. Just let him walk and be a bad player for some other team.
I would love to see the Lakers in the Playoffs, It would be very exciting to sweep Nash AND Kobe.
@growndhawgg can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
well if the Bulls want to suffer considerably on the defensive end, they should definitely give Blair "significant" minutes.
wait I don't understand! Why should we possibly mess with the team's chemistry? we have the best record in the NBA right? Our defensive efficiency has gone from being 12th last season to 3rd this season. We are BETTER than last season, why on earth would we make a trade for a guy that may help us on OFFENSE? makes no sense. I would not give up Splitter for anyone.
he's a dumbass, he embarrassed himself last season picking the Utah Jazz to beat the Spurs, had to eat his words after the Clipper series so much so he had to shake Skip Bayless's hands lol. The Spurs are the best team in the NBA, we are better than last season and we haven't been this good in a long long time. I have every faith in our team to bring the 5th ring home this season.
