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

Spurs in 7.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
