because they dont have a winning percentage of .900+

You can tell the weaknesses of teams when you beat them as well..

>>66374075
87-79 you idiot

The Spurs lose the first game against the other contenders (lost vs Thunder, Clippers and Warriors) and then rape them in the 2nd game.

The Spurs always lose games on purpose

>>66373986
Because the Warriors won it all last year and have the best record right now.

>>66374126
ok they beat them in a game where they played super solid defensively and curry was having an off night, that still doesn't make your point any less retarded. This isn't some fantasy anime world where people do shit like that as part of some grand scheme or plan, no one loses games on purpose, at least not the players themselves.

When you hold back or limit yourself, or dont try 100%, you open yourself to injury. You also open yourself up to starting bad habits which carry through to other games where you want to win. But you wouldn't know that because you've never played sports before

>>66374266
>living in the past
>regular season

>>66374277
You clearly have never watched Spurs games before

Pop holds back all the time to try out new rotations and not giveaway his game plan for the playoffs

>>66374370
so do the warriors, they haven't really been playing their true shutdown, #1 line up most of the year, and curry has only played in the 4th quarter a handful of times because he hasn't had to.

But that's completely different from throwing games and you're just further showing your lack of understanding

>>66374467
Yeah I'm sure Pop is really gonna start Diaw as a center in the playoffs

Why do Spurs fans keep saying pop loses games on purpose?

>>66374280
>Being this retarded

You're the favorite until you lose.

>>66374280
>Forgets that the Spurs did not even got out of the 1st round last year.

All of you warriors bandwagoners are autistic. The spurs could've been undefeated 3 seasons in a row. Pop's just too humble to school all of the NBA. Also, without him taking a dive last year we couldn't get LA. All of you fags that hate us are just jealous you can't have players that age like fine wine.
>Muh Steph
He'll only last 2 more seasons. Cap it.

>>66373986
>trying to find the weaknesses of the other contenders
yeah because I'm sure the charlotte hornets are what keeps gregg popovich up at night

>>66374993
Charlotte might make it to the NBA finals, idiot

>>66374596
it proved it was a viable option againt full small ball teams

and anyway, Diaw is fat enough to be able to hold his ground, and playing center is not an unknownn thing for him, he's doing it on a regular basis in international games (he's always defending on Marc Gasol while a center takes Pau Gasol, for example). And d'Antoni made him defending against centers during his Phoenix era too.

>>66375017
and I might fuck tinashe. both have approximately the same chance of happening.

>>66375295
Every team the Spurs have lost to are teams the Spurs can see in the playoffs

Considering how many games the Sixers lost those last years, they'll probably go 96-0 in 2017.

>>66375888
How would that help Pop in the playoffs?

You don't know how basketball works

>>66375714
>lelicans

So no one has proof that Pop doesn't lose games on purpose?

tfw spurs are gonna go 82-0*

because Leicester are winning the league an there's nothing you can do about that

>>66374955
They were Laker fans 5 years ago. They'll be Laker fans 5 years from now

because the Warriors are better

>>66382621
>87-79

They sure are

So the California profession has been Lakers ---- Clippers ---- Warriors

glad Texas isn't full of bandwagon Mexicans

>>66382629
>120-90
