Biggest Reason We Lost?

Our complete lack of outside shooting. As bad as we want to make Al seem, Gordon and all of our wing players were 10x worse.

Just curious to see what we think was the single biggest factor that lead to our 4 game sweep. Obviously what you vote for isn't the only factor, but whatever you feel hurt the team the most.

I have to go with Hayward's shooting no show.

It hurts because I really expected him to have a series where he showed the nation that he was indeed worthy of a lottery pick and a guy who steps up in big moments. Instead, he laid egg after egg as the Spurs defense played pseudo-defense on his 3pt jump shots.

Edit* ****, forgot poll.

Can you not edit a poll in? This is a bigger fail than our playoff series.

The single biggest factor in us losing was that we just simply aren't as good as them.

I find it pretty hard to blame a coach when the series was really out of reach. I really thought he put forth a good game plan on Parker starting in the 3rd game (something that has gone relatively unnoticed/not praised by Jazzfanz), which really made those games winnable if our shooting would have stepped up.

I would say we lost more because Pop is a great coach, not because Corbin is some terrible hack.

Stop making sense damnit. This board was a lot more fun when I just didn't like you.
 
The Biggest Reason We Lost was because the Spurs were a much better team with a much better coach.

Our team is WEAK minded because we have players like Jefferson, Harris, and Hayward. That when the going gets tough they disappear. Well, Harris played good for spurts but you have to play tough all the time. I just watched some of the Clipper v. Memphis series and they look like they hate each other. Yet, we are running around saying what a great team SA is. That is what you do when you lose but while the series is on you want to destroy your opponent not complement them.
 
I don't know what makes me feel worse---remembering Paul Millsap trying to guard Pau Gasol a few years ago, or watching Millsap try to get a shot off against Boris Diaw in this series.

Paul was pretty lousy this series overall too. The only big who really had any decent impact was Favors.
 
Even though Paul sucked *** this series, I feel he was the biggest victim of offensive stagnation. He doesn't really score in transition, and isn't talented enough to score in a clogged half-court like Al can.

Even Hayward should have been helped by it in a sense because the defense was giving him wide open shots. Everything Sap got was heavily contested and congested.

More anti-Al stuff. The guy had more points than Duncan and Parker combined, btw.

If you can't see that our rotations are so outta wack because he is lousy on the defensive end then take you homerism and walk away. And shooting 20+ footers every game because he is scared of Duncan is what a SG should be doing not our C. By how much did the Spurs out produce us in the paint?? With who 80 year old Duncan....70 year old Diaw.....Tiago garbage Splitter. Please stop with any complements of Big Al.

Plus for some reason he doesn't get any calles he attacks the rim and gets clobbered. How many times does Big Al go to the FT line? How much does he have the ball in his hands?

Both guys should be available via trade. Paul less so than Al, but still. Are we a team that is going to continue to embrace mediocrity, or are we a team that has its eyes set on the ultimate prize? Right now, I can't really say the latter with a straight face when we give Howard 3 starts in this series along with watching Al and Paul.

Sadly, I am truly concerned we are a team that has loyalty and a pursuit of being a steady playoff team as it's primary goals. Ignore me, I shouldn't be posting right now.

We shouldn't even care about the Ultimate prize I'm happy with competing. And when KOC drafts players with nice guy mentality we get the team that just rolled over and played dead like we just did.

I think we are a team that pursues patience.
