I'm happy for KD
Get that ring man
You were let down by your team last finals
Harden went ghost
Ibaka x everyone left Battier alone
Brooks left both KD and Westbrook on the bench for a long time in game 4
Don't go Manu

What do the Spurs do with LMA this off-season?

Zaza was series MVP whether he wanted it or not.
Spurs without there 2 way superstar was a cakewalk. They pretty much disintegrated.

Manu + Aldridge for Thomas

Moving stuff with the Spurs fans chanting Manu's name, it was absolutely beautiful. Fantastic organization, they die standing up like the true bosses they are.
Golden State now has 10 days to be scouting the Swedish Larry Bird. Good luck.

Retire him instead of Manu.
Seriously though, I am worried. His heart condition could not have helped his performance. They should come clear on if it affected him on court.

Cool, I get that. But posters have been doing drive-by's for the past week and a half derailing any actual basketball discussion even though there's been 100's of posts about the incident in this thread and the thread with 100's of posts in OT specifically dealing with the incident. We get it, you're upset with Zaza, you think the Spurs would have won the series with Kawhi. It's been discussed at length. It puts me off coming into this thread anyway.
Anyway back to basketball discussion, hope Coach Kerr is back for the finals, at least he'll be in the locker room for home games.

Good season. Thought we were a second round exit at best. Never will know what could've been after Leonard was injured. Don't think the play was dirty just unfortunate. Shame. Overall I'm happy with the year we had just sucks with the injuries. Time to regroup and retool a bit. And I hope I never see lamarcus Aldridge on this team again.
I feel like the Kawhi injury was bound to happen regardless of the Zaza play. Maybe Pop should have played him game 2 instead of 1 to give him a little more time to recover. But playing injured in a Conference Finals playoff series as the lead scorer? The injury was inevitable.
Good on the dubs for closing it out strong. Gonna miss Manu, hopefully he sticks around for one more year. Spurs had a great season, nothing to be ashamed of (except LMA).

Fact is the Zaza play is the biggest story from this series. If you want, stop replying to the "shitposting" and come up with some interesting discussion that will take away replies from that, or are we supposed to have some amazing NBA discussion from "hope Kerr is back on the sidelines!"?

I'm glad Curry had the game he did after Dedmon's attempt.

It's played out. If playing the "what if" game helps some people deal with the outcome that's fine. I'm just glad this series is over and we don't have to hear about it anymore.

With the Spurs Big 3 possibly finally gone, where will the mental toughness come from with the Spurs team. Kawaii is obviously great, but he needs more help.

Fuck ESPN. Instead of giving credit to a team that just went 12-0 in the playoffs which is unprecedented. These clowns sung the praises of Lebron yet again.
Pop with the glass of wine lol

You do know that Leonard was hurt falling on David Lee? And that his coach kept him in the game after getting hurt while up 20?

16 years and i'm still not ready for him to leave

uh yea? What does that have to do with what I was replying to? lol
His true sendoff for me will always be that 2014 finals dunk in game 5.

lol no, he plays too good of defense and can catch back on fire at any point

I hope he does too. But I don't want to see him go down like Parker. The Spurs will be ok in the future. I really like Simmons and Murray.

if they can keep simmons, he's a free agent. hopefully he feels comfortable and appreciative of the team and stays.
i don't know what happened to Patty during this series, he was playing so bad.
and LA... damn
Manu is one of the best players I've had the pleasure of watching. Truly one of the greats. The shit he did as a 39 year old in the playoffs is nothing short of miraculous.
Good on Curry for recognizing the moment and paying respect where it's due.
Parker is on the same level.

Meh that's not Kawhi. He just looks sad not vengeful.
If they make some good moves in the off season,the Spurs next year will be true contenders. Pop always pays his debts.

even though we don't know if Manu's leaving yet, it's good to see so many people praising him
i feel so bad for Kawaii, he worked his ass off to get to such a high level only to get injured and have to watch on the sidelines. because of Kawaii, they can run a lot more one on one and iso plays while still scoring a lot, but i wonder if they should go back to more of the constant passing and moving they used to do, like with what the Warriors started doing after Spurs did it so perfectly in 2014.
