ROUND 2, GAME 1: BLAZERS @ SPURS - 5/6/14, TUESDAY, 6:30 PM (PST), TNT

Well, the first half of the first quarter he was clearly struggling bigtime. I think that set the pace for the rest of the game. Won't happen again hopefully.

 

LaMarcus sounds pretty confident in his post game interview.

 

Well, considering he has never shot over 50% in a series, or in the regular season, that isn't saying much, tbh.

Next from the great people of San Antonio. Water is wet.

 

Objectively speaking, I don't see how you guys can win a game against us. Contrary to what Tlong and many others think...bench production is VITAL. We also play real D unlike Houston, so nothing but jumpshooting will get exposed. It'll be a fun series, we deff. need the prep for the finals so hopefully you guys can give us some bang for our buck.

 

I think that goes back to the whole team not being prepared to play this game. The wing players were having trouble just getting the ball to Aldridge.

The Blazers were a mess tonight. Game 2 will say a lot about the rest of the series imo. Game 1 is a game you forget.

 

Even in the late part of the game they still were. Don't know what it is, maybe they were too excited from the Houston win and got too confident and unfocused.

 

Take it as a slight or whatever you want..... Lets be real here.... Your team is young.... Spurs have seen it all and I have been through it all. I am quite excited about the Blazers potential but lets face the facts... They are YEARS away from being close to the Spurs and chances are your front office is going to screw it up. Im seriously not trolling. Your front office will jump the gun instead of letting things play out and shit will get screwed.

The secret to success in San Antonio is continuity and that's all there is to it really. It isn't Pop, it Isn't RC Bufford, it isn't some magic drafting money ball bullshit..... It is culture and instilling a base model and sticking with it..... that's all.

Portland has the base model with LMA and Lillard to start this type of program, but will your front office follow it?

 

What's the story on the whole Tlong thing anyway?

Why does he post on a spurs board now?

 

This same front office built the current Clippers, so I think they'll do fine. And we're here, matched up in the 2nd round in the playoffs. We're not as far away as you think. This is the first year this "core" team has been here, so this whole thing is a process with a logical buildup. My goal this year was to get to the 2nd round. Next year its to get to the WCF and the year after the NBA finals. We have the flexibility, personnel, team culture and players to make it happen, so I'm not really worried. I've been around those teams of the past as have many here, this team is different.

If we lose to the Spurs, its not the end of the world. Like I said, I'm glad we're playing them because its good to learn to see how a system that works functions and emulate it.

 

He's shot 56% career wise against the Spurs, so any game he shoots under 50% is great.

A couple other Blazer fans from ST have even admitted they view Splitter as the best LA defender in the league and I feel y'all will agree by the end of the series.

 

He'll get his, but it was inefficient. tbh he got a lot of bogus whistles too

 

I'll be here tbh.

 

tbh yall sucked bad

 

Lol

No

It is Pop.
And it's Duncan.
And it's Parker.

Mostly Pop, as he's the best coach and gets players to play for him unlike any other coach can. That's a huge advantage.

Once he's gone the Spurs are done. Better capitalize soon or you'll be left kicking yourself over game 6 and 7 vs the Heat last year

 

he has been spamming crap their for a decade. Then when the going gets rough, he takes a leave of absence.

 

I mean does he live in San Antonio?

 

You're spot on. It is Pop, and a lot of the ungrateful fans will realize it when he's gone. The phyzik guy just likes to pretend that he knows about spurs basketball.

 

nope. He lives in Portland.

 

tbh, all this tbh is getting fucking old. tbh it is more annoying that how shitty the Blazers played tonight. Just trying tbh.

 

he's been a member on spurstalk since 04
