The Spurs are not avoiding the smoke that all
This is such a silly take. I'm just going to downvote the video and watch something else.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was Victor's idea.
Are you stupid Jason? Even with Wemby they could have lost. Wemby could have got injured. And all for what? Thinking in a second round when they haven't even pass the first round? When the lakers could have lost on purpose? Stupid is this video using the worst "stupid to rest your bust guy before PO"
I agree that it would be better for Denver to play OKC to knock them out but the Spurs have not had an easy time with the Timberwolves either so I think it’s a possibility that the Timberwolves even beat the Nuggets
Yup silly take. Spurs are not in the dark as to their own decisions nor did they make a poor one.
yeah yeah, but did they know that Denver was going to do that? that is the question..
They can't beat Denver they tryd this is not the year for the spurs..and I'm a spurs fan,they have to make decision with guards specialy fox..I think he's overpayed. It's a bad move to give the man super max.nobodys gonna take that contract from fox.
Spurs just gave OKC the easiest path to the Finals in NBA history 🤦
Sometimes Jason is really arrogant. He swear he know more than NBA teams do
spurs will gentlemen sweep the nuggets
The problem is, we don’t know his condition. Are the Spurs really telling the truth? I doubt it; it’s better to downplay the health of their star player so as not to give the opposing team any extra hope. Maybe he wasn’t fully fit after his last game, and it’s best not to push your luck. What I fear is that Fox isn’t currently showing his best form. If the Spurs want to go far, he really needs to step up his game.
Newsflash to members of the media – teams don't give a shit about any of this stuff. They play who they play, win or lose, and that's that. Only breathless people who live in the future and pretend they know what will happen make content like this.
Well, who would have guessed before the game that the A team of SAS (- Wemby) would not be able to beat the B and C teams of Denver (+ Jokic 18 minutes)? In hindsight, that was obviously wrong, but before the game I didn't think so…
It’s imperative that whoever wins this Denver v Wolves series makes quick work of the other team. Cause OKC gonna cruise to the conference finals, I say it takes them no more than 10 games regardless of who they play. I think ppl sleep on how good this OKC team actually is, they bout to go back to back.
I don't know why y'all think it's going to be easy for anybody to get out of the West. The Nuggets, the Tims, the Spurs, and the Thunder are all going to be in dog fights starting in the first round whoever they play against. Ain't no easy path in the West. Quit cryin' and play.
I see OKC losing to Denver in the playoffs. The bench will show
Could be they tried beating Denver but they had a bad game, it happens
Denver is not a threat to anybody lol. That a 5 game series for OKC this year.
Spurs are going to beat fine I think they’re actually way better against Denver than everyone thinks they were up double digits in all three of the games that mattered and the Nuggets barely came back with some lucky shooting in both wins, if the Spurs make 1 single more 3 pointer in each game then they win the series 3-1 and all of a sudden people would be saying the exact opposite things, they’re the better team and have been and will be so in the second round if both teams are healthy
I'm watching that game as a Nuggets fan in disbelief. Nuggets completely laid down. Other than Jokic the other starters didn''t even make the trip to SA! How in the world, if you're SA, do you help the Nuggets into your side of the bracket!? A team with no playoff experience could have faced either the Nuggets or OKC. Now it's very likely they'll have to beat them both. One of the craziest 'shooting yourself in the foot' moments I've seen. OKC got a massive gift which they didn't need quite frankly. How do you make it easier for the defending champs? What the Spurs did makes no sense from any angle. Wow.
