Driven by past failures, Spurs blow by Thunder again in Game 2
Sports Illustrated ^ | 5/22/14 | Ben Golliver

SAN ANTONIO -- With another lopsided victory in the books, the Spurs are beginning to look like they will power their way to the fifth title of the Tim Duncan era.

Wednesday's result was the most vicious yet. The 35-point victory margin was the largest of San Antonio's postseason; the Spurs have now won their last six home playoff games by a staggering average of 23 points. The defeat was also the worst playoff loss for the Thunder since they relocated to Oklahoma City, and it seems cruel to ask any team to "adjust" its way out of that type of hole in a matter of days.

"We got our butts kicked," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said, looking dejected and overwhelmed for the second time in three nights.

A Spurs collapse in this series is just about unthinkable. The offense is whirring too smoothly and the defensive effort is too high. The matchups advantages -- in the post, from beyond the arc and on the bench -- are too great.

Can’t wait until LeBron leaves, and the Heat suck again, and they’ll get 3000 for their home games. Miami is the ultimate “Fair Weather” city.

You bet I’m from Phoenix.

No I don't.

Uber; you're going to have to start making sense.

How dare they even show up?

Exactly. Well said.

Can you really call that "showing up"? It was like watching the Washington Generals "show up" to play the Globetrotters.

The Spurs will lose their older players, but are already grooming new champions. They will, as they always have, remain strong.

The Trailblazers will be a dominate team in a few short years.

...and Algore was robbed by Bush in 2000.

Prototypical loser talk. I'm sorry your team sucks this year.

Mavs are a good team and more importantly a well coached and disciplined one.

Actually 13th out of 32 idiot. You are still the whiniest, floppiest, dirtiest team supporter.

I have no knowledge of bathhouses in any part of AZ.

Twinkerbelle, don’t let me keep you from your Mr. Right.

Perhaps he’s one of those long, dark fellows you like on the Sperns?

Towel boy, how did I know that bath-house talk would get you so excited?

Let's just chalk it up to a lucky guess.

I hope that you and yours have a safe, and enjoyable weekend.

I look forward to hearing from you again soonest.
(I'm sorry your team sucks so much this year)

Take care Twink. I hear medical science will come up with a cure for AIDS someday, sooooo, you know....as you were. LOL

BTW, you never served in the military right? I didn’t think so.

Well, I guess there is just no being nice to some people.

As close as you are able to explain; the reason your team sucks so much this year is:
1) the Spurs kicked their ass 7 years ago
B) there are no great bath houses in Arizona

Semper Fi Devil Dogs, and ; Go Spurs!!

What a very odd thing to be curious about.

served in the military?
Cruising for a man in uniform on Memorial Day is depraved.

This is a basketball thread, perv. Focus.
