Western Conference Semifinals: (1) San Antonio vs. (5) Portland

The Blazers let Mills go after 2 seasons. He was a middling player there. Green was a piece of garbage for a couple of years before becoming useful in San Antonio. Belinelli was a downy soft, slow Euro before finding some grit last year with the Bulls. He's gone to another level under Pop.

Great coaching does wonders with some players.

 

lol LMA gets called for the push off

 

of course spurs get the call when LMA pushes off lol

 

Finally Aldridge got called for a push-off. And it's only because Diaw fell down.

He gets away with it constantly.

 

Hey!

They finally called a push-off foul on LMa!

 

that belinelli double fake and then pass. On any other team he would have shooted already, this is why the spurs are such a great organization. This is a clinic.

 

lol @ that push off charge

 

Spur for the champ, i am on their side. don't like OKC,Clips. or even Heat playstyle

Spur play so smooth, everything organized well, prop to Mr.POP

 

This Spurs series shows just how obvious it is officials can control the fate of a team.

They made the Blazers look unstoppable. Meanwhile they fail to get calls and they look like they couldn't hang with a D League team.

 

Happy seeing the tbzers get kicked in the n*Ts by san Antonio but if we are going to win a championship. We gotta have a motion offense. Can't ball stop. Watch n learn McHale and get a defense guru as assistant HC.

 

Lmao Parker is goin off!

 

Belinelli barely played in the Spurs series against the Mav. Why? Because he was not playing defense. You see, when your coach don't allow bad defense, the team don't play bad defense. In turn, the player know exactly what's expected of them and is being held accountable plus given the responsibility to play the right way. That's why the Spurs players excel at what they do.

 

Spurs had just 1 TO in the 1st half. Crazy.

 

Portland has missed open shots all series.

When they played Houston, they were making incredible contested shots. They couldn't miss.




That's just how it goes sometimes...

 

Here is a gif that explains the series in a nutshell:

 

It has something to do with spending all that energy to defend against 5 vs defend against 1.

 

Do "He" know the differ between "Our team" and "Me, I, myself"

Love TP attitude

 

Butt whoopin, just a complete butt whoopin/class is in session/ D-league material and how sweet it is to see the Blazers getting that ass whoopin stamp of approval.

 

Its about coaching.

 

That's at least 4 in the series so far...he didn't get called once in 6 games vs Rockets.


Watching the Blazers get spanked is sweet, but I still wish it was us getting the spanking...
