Series Thread: (2) Nuggets vs. (7) Spurs

[MizzouFalcon]

I don’t understand what the Spurs were doing the last 35 seconds.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Wow Spurs just gave up. 20 seconds left and they didnt foul only down 4

 

[gobigred]

Wtf were Spurs doing there at end not fouling? Just letting all time time run off and not at least extending game

 

[TheSnowdog]

down 4 25-26 seconds left
Spurs: "Well let's just let them dribble out the clock"

 

[msgkings322]

How did the Spurs not foul? That was pathetic.

I typed the same thing at the same time. Not that it would have mattered but at least there's a chance

 

[Shanemansj13]

That was pathetic. Nugs better play better in 2nd round or Blazers are gonna roll

 

[msgkings322]

I wonder if the Spurs thought they were down less than 4?

Yeah. At least give yourself a punchers chance. Don’t just give up.

Nuggets went 3-1 vs Portland in the regular season. The Spurs were the a tougher matchup, not saying saying Portland will be a breeze but I was more worried about SA than I am about Portland, especially now that Denver has a playoff series win under their belt.

had to. it's the only way that sequence makes any sense. which is idiotic, SOMEBODY among those 5 guys on the court has to be aware of the score and time.

 

[wildturkey]

Somebody on that Spurs team had the Spurs +5.

 

[ManuForever]

Pop was SCREAMING and was on the court telling them to foul and Aldridge spaced out. For fucks sake.

Also fuck Jamal Murray. I love Kentucky and I love the Spurs but apparently I can't fucking love them at the same time.

I hope and pray Dejounte comes back the same way he did. Another summer for White, Lonnie and Bryn to work on their games, 2 first round draft picks and DeJounte is coming back. I'm fucking amped for next season.

[wildturkey]

I don't get why the other players didn't run up to foul even if LA blanked out. Surely one of those other 4 players heard him

 

[ManuForever]

Did he have money on this game? He says he was aware of the time. "Should have fouled and I didn't. Nothing else to say." He's just shrugging it off like it's no big deal. Your season just ended and you could have done something to maybe help change that and decided not to. This is a big yikes. I wanna know what was going through his mind.

My optimism level for next season is an 11 on a scale of 1-10. There is off the charts reasons to be excited.

It has been a long time since I was waiting for Spurs players get older. To think youth is the only problem now.
They are loaded with young talent. This might be the most youth oriented and talented potential Spurs roster in years.

The Derozan trade was perfect considering the circumstances. It saved the franchise from a possible disaster.
It allowed the Spurs to try out some youngsters without building a losing locker room culture for the kids.

I was hoping maybe some of the young players might be able to play.
I was not expecting all of them to be able to play.

A+ from the Spurs front office.
They turned the negative outlook of last summer into a super hyped up positive outlook in less than 12 months

Obviously they bet on themselves +6

Glad the Nuggets were able to take care of business last night. Youngest team in the playoffs this year & 8th youngest team to make the playoff in league history.

Too lazy to look anything up but who'll be the favorite in the next round?
