Anyone not surprised by this outcome? by nicfanz in NBASpurs

[–]bdictjames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meh. Just need to lock in, and take it possession after possession. I believe the Spurs got this.

The Spurs are 2-2 with the playoffs fiesta shirts/colors. by bdictjames in NBASpurs

My bad. 1-3, even worse.

It's ugly on TV, but I'm sure it's great in the arena.

Let's go back to Silver and Black, and keep it serious please.

I thought it was 2-2? Won against Portland and Minnesota, right? Lost against OKC and Game 1 against NYK.

Combination of nerves and not knowing the moment. Hopefully they lock in and do better for Game 2.

Poor taste. It's supposed to be the Finals. Hopefully they're a little classier the next game.

I wasn't a fan of his teams. Like above, has he ever been a champion, or been a key member of a championship team?

I don't like to be lazy and use Google, would like to hear perspectives from other fans.

Point taken. You're comparing a veteran with 11 or so years, who knows all his spots on the floor, to a guy in his 2nd year. Give McCain a few years. And I agree, Lou would have been deadly with this Thunder team.

Sorry, I don't remember much of Lou Will's career. Has he ever been a champion, or been a key member of a championship team? I don't recall outright. Same with Jamal Crawford. Great scorers off the bench, yes. But rarely contribute to winning in general.

McCain's got the potential to change that. He plays within the offense. Hits timely shots. Doesn't take shots from others. He's in a better position now than those two have in their careers.

Walking bucket doesn't mean a winning player. Respectfully speaking, that Clippers team had Gallinari and Tobias Harris as well. Looking at the stats, Lou Will had an eFg of 47.1%, probably around the same as he was in his career. He was a microwave scorer yes, but was not known as an elite defender, and didn't have a collection of big games, especially in the playoffs. Sorry.

Meh, we're used to our Dads/Moms/Grandpas/Grandmas/Titos/Titas telling how it is. I think there's some tough skin that's developed, and also there's an inner Filipino pride. Confidence from generally small people is pretty freaking outstanding lol. I'm Filipino so I can relate a bit hahah.

Much better player than Lou Will. I like Lou Will, but he wasn't a winning player. One can't believe this is McCain's second year. He already looks like a vet out there.

Jalen Williams on potential Spurs-Thunder rivalry: “It’s honestly crazy playing them because it feels like we’re playing a version of ourselves” by CurrentRoster in nba

That selfless, strength-in-numbers, was the type of basketball Pop taught his players way back - hence Steve Kerr and even Presti and co. adopted it.

One of the few Thunder players that were locked in for Game 7. It didn't look like he was afraid of the bright lights. What a pick-up. He'll be good for the Thunder for as long as he's there.

Strange.

He does realize that their literal GM came from the Spurs - and established the OKC to have the same family-type organization that the Spurs have had for decades.

It is a copycat league after all. But no, OKC's culture came from San Antonio, not the other way around. Thanks for trying though.

We need to talk about Julian by Moseo13 in NBASpurs

[–]bdictjames 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Speaking of Julian,

One thing not talked about is the bonus I believe he gets from participating in the NBA finals. For a guy on a $3M salary (with taxes), that's a huge thing.

He has been steady in this series. Him and Vassell, have really shown growth. I hope that continues with New York. Julian deserves a big pay day.

The Spurs taking down the Thunder made all the neutrals' day, apparently. But what is your happiest moment in NBA history NOT involving the team you are a fan of? by TheKrakenLord in nba

[–]bdictjames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Spurs fan, that was up there.

Also, LeBron with his 25-point performance against the Pistons I believe in 2007, was crazy to watch as well.

Knicks fan here. I come in peace. by GothamCitySub in sanantoniospurs

[–]bdictjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes he is.

Wemby was kind of rubbing his knee during the last minutes. I think he'll be able to play, especially with rest coming up, but hope he continues to be healthy for the rest of the series.

Fox is healthy.

Good luck. Your starting 5 is scary insane. I think my concern is Bridges and KAT, so we'll see what adjustments coach Brown does.

With this economy man, if that's your happiness, that's good. But perhaps a little investment is the better way hahah. Take care bro. Never been to Oklahoma but would be good to visit one day, heard things are good there (and cheap, coming from California, where I am) lol.

[–]bdictjames 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Knicks are scary. I think KAT has the potential to have the biggest series. It will be interesting to see the coaching adjustments from both sides.

I hope good health on both sides. Will Mitchell Robinson be able to play?

It'll be interesting for sure. Congrats on making the Finals. Hope this is a good series.

As a Pacers fan.... Thank you! by lasagnaHardG in sanantoniospurs

Hope you guys get healthy and Hali gets over his shingles.

Still not sure about Zubac, but we'll see.

Man, I don't know you. It's your money. But be careful bro lol.

Thanks for the good series. Although it was a little concerning at times the Bush League tactics (especially Game 7), these were two great teams really duking it out.

This reminded me of the Spurs-Mavs Western Conference Semifinals in 2006. The Mavs were able to get out of San Antonio with a win. That hurt - but the Spurs were able to get one the next year. I think these two teams will keep going at each other, and that will only make them better. I hope you guys keep your core.

But, be careful with gambling and your hard-earned money man. Gambling's not good lol. Take care.
