Breaking News: The Truth About Why The Spurs Lost

I’d rather it be one of each of them going against LA and Dallas. God, wouldn’t Stern have loved a Memphis/OKC WCF?

I have been waiting for the Spurs to lose so I can post this though.

And should therefore keep ur opinions to urslef.
This post was largely aimed at manu and not the team as a whole.
Ginobli undercuting brooks to ‘draw a charge’/ provoke an injury on a last second full-court heave to close out the half was both classless and in direct response to AB torrching them singlehandedly to that point.
It also may have destroyed aaron’s career as it set in motion a chain of event which saw his production plumet, his starting spot lost, and him being shipped out to phx where he continued to be a shell of his forner self.
While ‘destroying his career’ may be a bit strong, it undoubtably cost him millions on his new contract.
Before that play, aaron looked to be furthering his development into an elite offensive option even more, insisting iso for himself and breaking down the spur defense all on his own, it was gorgeous. After that play…well we all know what happened from there.
Though it was clear we weren’t gunna keep him around after inking lowry to his deal, the thought at the time was we wouldn’t resign him due to fiscal concerns. By the time he was moved, we didn’t resign him because he had become a divisive force in the locker-room and his play had declined considerably.
As a result I was hoping something similar would happen to ginobli from that point on. As it turns out it did. He was injured right before the playoffs and you could easily say his teams elimenation was largly due to it.
While ginobli may have turned water into piss as per brooks’ future, it was a short term gain for them which resulted in karma ripping away the mans last real shot at another ring.
All that said, I have never been a spurs hater and have nothing but respect for duncan, pop and rc buford, realy most of the organization as a whole. But ginobli can go fuck himself…hard.

I take it your reading comprehension skills haven’t developed yet. Re-read the post and try again.

You have totally missed the point. It is Karma. He made a useless and dirty play that cost a man more than just 23 games of his career. So Karma cost him a chance at a ring.

But it was the sort of stupid red-ass play that gets people hurt for no possible benefit. Like a takedown foul on a layup in the All-Star game – that level of annoying and stupid.

 Trying to draw a foul by sticking your foot out on a last second half court shot? When your team isn’t even in the penalty and it’s even more likely to be a 3 shot foul for Brooks? It was a dick move, and it got someone hurt for no possible benefit. So karma for that is ok, but I don’t know about that myself, I just think SA couldn’t control the paint against the monster Memphis front court.

Houston, oddly, did very well versus Memphis – think about how much better Hayes did than the Spurs frontline.

I’m 20 though.
