You really gonna act vindicated after one of the most marginal series in recent memory?
It could have gone either way but fair play, do you.
Here's how it shook out,
Kawhi stepped up over the series even if he flubbed his lines when he was needed the most. Along with Duncan he led that team and held his own banging against one of the strongest frontcourts in the L so credit to him for stepping up.
Timmy had his best series in years and I don't see how he retires after this, they can afford to coast another year depending on what Kawhi does but only now is it sensible to proclaim that their window has closed.
Manu is cooked, I'll give you that but Belinelli plugged a lot of that so its a wash.
Parker is hurt and the extents only became clear as he struggled to chase even a 1 legged CP3 (haven't seen any 0's from you in a while
) around screens. Even if we expected a drop off the extent was shocking.
A healthy Splitter would have made all the difference in this series.
The Spurs were favorites going into the season, that much remains true. Their play once Kawhi had recovered from a freak injury justifies that presumption.
Also lets not forget who you had as favorites to come out the west and can currently be found bass fishing on Eufaula Lake
