>One of the best defenses of all time
>One of the all-time great point differentials
>All-time great coach that know the value of rest and losing on purpose to catch the other team's plans
>Not reliant on meme tactics like the Warriors
How much mental gymnastics do Warrior fans go through every day to convince themselves that they're better than they really are?
>>66418612
>get murdered by OKC on a road game
Won't even get out of the West
>>66418710
Pop rested all his stars, you stupid fuck.
He was trying to figure out his optimal bench lineup in the playoffs
He wasn't trying to win.
>>66418710
He lost on purpose
Why couldn't you apply that to last year?
What changed?
>I literally haven't been watching
>>66419131
Last year they got ref balled
Pop already went 2-1 vs the Warriors and knew he was gonna to beat them
>we lost on purpose
every time
>>66419395
Do you even watch the Spurs?
>>66419442
yah, I watched curry style all over kawaii and them get blown out by 30 points
>>66419474
>87-79
What about that?
>>66418612
what the fuck is a meme tactic? Spurs fans have really grown delusional.
>>66419484
120-90, what about that?
>>66419495
3s only
That's a meme.
>>66419562
Even if you took away all of Curry's 3's, he'd still be in the to 20 of scoring in the league.
>>66419562
they won a title doing that...
>>66419395
so sneaky and tactical!
>>66418612
>>Not reliant on meme tactics
>implying there is any strategy to apeball
>>66419697
So you know more than a 5 time champ?
>we lost on purpose
>>66419714
apparently, since they could win the title
>>66419736
So what good will it do if Pop doesn't rest his players and not have tape on the other team while not giving away tape on his team?
>>66419755
they'll loose their #1 seed and have to play more games away from home, putting them at a disadvantage
gee whiz, its like you dont even know how the playoffs work
>>66419770
Buh.. buh...muh Pop lose on purpose!
>>66419770
Yeah when has Pop needed home court advantage?
That's something lesser franchises who can't plan like Pop needs
>>66419783
to beat the warriors, apparently
>>66419562
And it clearly works for them
120 - 90
I love how no one here really doesn't think gamesmanship doesn't exist

Even ESPN says the Spurs should be favored over the Warriors
The spurs only win titles when another championship team is on the decline. So yeah, not this year but when the warriors start falling off you can be sure the spurs will be just good enough to win.
