i dont think we should be doggin Kevin Loves game, he is playing with a sore groin and the original plan was for him to miss the rest of the season. Last nights version of Kevin Love was not the rule, it was the exception. you could tell his burst was gone when Omer and Deng were blocking him

It doesnt help he is being KG'ed with zero help around him against the best defense in the league.

2 great games tonight, no matter the outcome between Boston or SA, we either gain ground or get more separation...

let´s go Mavs!

How does a Boston win create any separation?

We either gain ground on SA for best record in the NBA or gain separation on Boston. That's dependent on us winning as well obviously.

I see. And damn. Spurs have lost 4 in a row. I had just assumed they had best record locked up.

Ya, if we win tonight and they lose, we're only 2 back of them. Granted, that's still a good amount of ground to make up with so little games left but they're in a tailspin right now so who knows.

I'll be elated if we finish with a better record than the Lakers. Does anybody really think San Antonio can match up with LA?

This was never the plan. Never ever never ever, and I don't think you actually read the quote that said there was AN OUTSIDE CHANCE that he might miss the rest of the season. OUTSIDE CHANCE. As in, yes, if Kevin Love gets a setback and his groin doesn't heal normally, he'll miss the rest of the season.

 

Love had 16 points and 9 rebounds in 26 minutes. Extrapolate that over his standard 36 minutes a game, and he's sitting at 22 and 12.5. Not quite his 20 and 15, but let's not pretend he got completely shut down. He didn't get his normal numbers because the game got out of hand and he sat. That's pretty much it.

I've said it since November. SA will lose in the first round. And if Memphis gets the 8 seed, I'm definitely betting that s***.

The Spurs have choked in the playoffs for years now.

The last one being in 2007.. I think the statement was an accurate one

If that's called choking, sign me for multiple Heimlich maneuvers.

 

Since 2007-2008 (the year after their last championship), here is how the Spurs fared:

 

2007-2008: Lost in Conference Finals to Lakers (they were the 3th seed, and lost to the 1st seed)

2008-2009: Lost in First Round to Dallas (lost as 3rd seed to the 6th seed)

2009-2010: Lost in Second Round to Phoenix (lost as 7th seed to Phoenix who was the 3rd seed)

 

So how exactly are they choking? Seed-wise they were the favorites once and lost to Dallas. Every other year, they lost to a higher seed.

Yeah, not winning a title in 4 years is choking. Makes perfect sense.

Tailspin = all 3 of their big 3 have been hurt.

Great news. I thought it was 50/50 at best. Nice to know that all the non-basketball crap can be put to the side. When this man stepped on the court, he got the s*** done.

Glad to hear that.

Bulls are now 1 game behind the Spurs.

Very underrated to. He could actually score more than what people think by looking at his stats. He really epitomized a team player because he sacrificed his scoring for being a defensive-first rebounder. Very deserving and key cog in five championship teams.

Unfortunately it doesn't matter much, as the Lakers have blitzed the league since the break.

I know. I'm just saying I feel the Lakers are the clear favorites and having a better record than the Spurs is moot.

The guy might be as dumb as they come off the court but he had the best basketball iq I've ever seen in my life, he was just f***in awesome.

Ya, I'd be pretty shocked if the Lakers don't win the west at this point but what the hell, might as well take the overall 1 seed just in case.

Tex to the HOF.
