In the like 20 years Tim Duncan has been in the league we've never gotten into a playoff series against a TD-led Spurs. We came close the last two years, especially in 2013, but no cigar. I think it'd be super lame to never play a team like that in our own division in the playoffs, and I'd be elated if we would be the ones to end the Big 3 era
Well.. had we did what we were supposed to do last year, it would've been us going home in round 2 instead of Portland.
I would love to play them and beat them. And if they beat us I want to see Timmy get no. 6. Because Tim Duncan is the greatest player of the last 20 years. Not Kobe. Not Lebron. But Tim Duncan.
Considering we've only won 1 playoff series since 1997 the lameness is because we haven't been that good.
Well, next time we need to guard the damn inbounds pass and not give Damian Lillard a wide-open 3-pointer.
If Yao were healthy they would have beat the Lakers and could have won a championship. If both were healthy they would have lost to the Lakers because shot efficiency and defense would have gone down but they would have looked good doing it.
I would love to sweep dallas in the 1st round, beat portland in 5 in the second round, then beat spurs in 7 in WCF. Then demolish whichever horrible team from the east makes the finals....That would be a dream but would be very tough.
And not have a 6'8" small forward chase around one of the fastest point guards in the entire league. #Mchalelogic
I definitely agree, with Artest/Yao, definitely had shot, I mean they were the only team to push Lakers to 7 games that year. Yao's body let him down, I really wish he wasn't overplayed each year for China/NBA. He was such a force in the playoffs that year, he had a lot of basketball left in him too, I mean we might not have got Harden and can't change the past, but until Yao went down was pretty good playoff showing for Rockets. Thinking back, Yao was done after game 3... And Houston still managed 7 games.
Do you think it would have turned out differently if we had Beverley guarding Lillard? We sure needed him in that series.
