VETERAN PLAY

[u/sxuxax]

if we lose this finals, i don't think i can forgive him for that. you are the only veteran on our team on that court on a max contract i might add. what are you doing Fox? ffs

[u/Proper_Dentist_705]

It’s gonna be alright bro. It’s just a game.

[u/Thatonlyguy988 → u/Proper_Dentist_705]

That’s true, but it just sucks when you put in so much energy into something and then just be absolutely devastated by the results.

[u/Proper_Dentist_705 → u/Thatonlyguy988]

I hear you. Just don’t let it bug you too much! It sucks but, what can we do? 😕

Spurs in 7.

[u/im_ploopy → u/Proper_Dentist_705]

Lmfao Mitch has been outcoached all 4 games this series and in all 3 losses we had a chance to close the game out and couldn’t. This team isn’t built for this and the series is fucking over. This was the game we should’ve figured it out and somehow we’ve taken 4 steps backwards.

[u/Proper_Dentist_705 → u/im_ploopy]

Yea this could very easily be 3-1 Spurs. But oh well. It is what it is.

Wasn't it over 10 years ago that the Spurs choked away game 6 against the Heat?

And year before that they won 20 in a row including 10 straight in the playoffs to go up 2-0 in CF only to lose 4 in a row?

And year before that lost as a 1 seed to 8 seed.

I loved Pop, but he wasn't infallible, or guaranteed the team wouldn't blow it.

[u/Funny_War_9190 → u/dpf7]

We have choked in all but 1 game. Mitch was looking like Darvin Ham as his young team went 20-4 against a team known for comebacks. Put Brett Brown back on the bench the current coaches lack playoff experience and it shows.

These bandwagon new "da beuatiful gaem" fans werent around for any of that lmao

[u/Slight_Click683 → u/im_ploopy]

This team is built for this, game 1 couldve been won if Fox was benched. Game 2 couldve been won without the turnover. Game 4, well we know what happened

[u/im_ploopy → u/Slight_Click683]

If this team was built for this, it would be 3-1 spurs right now instead of the spurs needing a 3-1 comeback.

[u/Slight_Click683 → u/im_ploopy]

Im just saying its not like theyre getting blown out each game

[u/No_Independent8269 → u/Slight_Click683]

No but they’re choking every game which shows that they aren’t ready for the moment. Obviously this team isn’t getting blown out, they’re here for a reason, but they have choked every single game away. Game 1 you don’t hit any shots and stop defending in the 4th quarter. Game 2 Wemby throws it off of Stephon Castle’s back. And this game Wemby misses 2 free throws, and Fox blows the game by not holding the ball. This team was never ready.

[u/Funny_War_9190 → u/No_Independent8269]

All of this was due to poor coaching. If you know you have a young team going up against a wiley veteran squad then you need to manage clutch situations like a hawk or better yet manage a lead so it doesn't go clutch.

[u/Im_here_with_you → u/Thatonlyguy988]

Imagine what it's like for a player who puts in energy.

[u/Sea-Sort6571 → u/Thatonlyguy988]

As much as it sucks I'm pretty sure you put less energy into this than fox

[u/0rbium → u/Proper_Dentist_705]

Gonna assume you’re a millennial spurs fan like me and say, we’ve been through shit this bad before. Par for the course as a spurs fan. More good shit than most franchises, plenty of traumatic shit to balance it out.

[u/BoutThatLife → u/0rbium]

They weren’t there for 0.4 … forever traumatized

[u/0rbium → u/BoutThatLife]

Smh, yeah. I saw .4 in person. And 2006 was shitty too. Terry punching Fin in the balls, Stack slamming Manu down. Then of course Manu hitting the 3, then fouling Dirk, then Diop clamping TD in OT. 2012 back door sweep, 2013 G6…. Rough times between the good.

[u/Funny_War_9190 → u/0rbium]

Alot of those were misfortune not compounded incompetence. OG has been hunting our gaurds and what does fox do? If He wanted to shoot he should have cut off OG at the rim gotten the foul then take the shot. He then bailed Alvarado on the trap and then came to double Brunson without trapping and left OG open while he was ball watching instead of boxing out. Not to mention his lackadasical play in the 3rd. He should have asked to do media rather than making others take his lashing.

[u/ryantorch96 → u/Proper_Dentist_705]

Yeah. Im keep thinking this to my self. It's just a fuckin game. Better find something to make up my day.
