Biggest Reason We Lost?

Seriously, Millsap shot 4/17 against Boris Diaw and Stephen Jackson, Hayward was 0 for 7, Burks was 0 for 8, and our bench only scored 10 pts in the entire game, yet you guys are ranting about Al Jefferson. The Spurs shot 38% from the floor and got out-rebounded by 14, and you're still blaming this loss on Al's pick-and-roll defense. His pick-and-roll defense isn't good, but you've got blinders on. It's seriously lame.

They need a scapegoat now that Miles is injured. Corbin, Howard's 15 mpg, and Jefferson.
 
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.
