These are some character building games. Reminds me of those wins in '05 against the Clippers and Warriors when the team was shorthanded.

This is where championship mettle is made. Still obviously a long ways to go but these I like the end of game mental toughness we've seen lately.

[Obstructed_View]

I think the Spurs have only had that one game where they didn't have a run in the fourth quarter, and they've ouscored the other team in the 4th in almost every game. Seems like they're also doing a good job of taking care of the ball.

Indeed. We have our stars that have played big in big moments to win games for us. Now it is a team effort that is producing these types of wins without them. Definitely a great thing to see.

+1...with the supporting cast displaying such fortitude, we should be ready to make a serious run when TP and Manu returns. hopefully Ian will be back as well and so we can see what the Spurs bring at full strength.

[Spurtacus]

2 games. Feels good.


I didn't think we'd be 3-1 at this point.

[Fermixalot]

I'm really proud that this group is pulling together and willing themselves to victory. The team plays well together, and gives the superstars the opportunity to win the game at the end.

We held 6 of the last 7 teams we've played to under 100 points, the D is coming back. Once we can get a good rhythm and chemistry, along with Tony and Manu, we'll be rolling.

Pop is doing a lot with little. He's shown some big brass one with some of his line ups...like benching Bowen in favor of offense, for example.

If the Spurs can get this to .500 and maintain just above or below that mark until Tony, Manu and Ian are ready to play, they'll be in great shape.

To be completely accurate, Pop benched Bowen in favor of defense.

This is also how you strengthen your bench which in turn will give the team something they especially lacked last season: DEPTH. I love it man. I also agree with Manny in that Spurs fans normally take November for granted and don't really get into the swing of things until the 2nd half of the season....sometimes the All-Star break for that matter. It's cool to see Tim and his band of journeymen fighting for their lives when Tim Legler left them for dead. Someone should come up with a sig mocking Legs if we REALLY get on a roll without Parker and Manu :devil......but I guess I'm getting ahead of myself. One game at a time.

[Biggems]

if not for that stupid chokefest in Milwaukee, we would be 5-4.....but hey, we did win cause of the Rockets chokefest on Friday, so I guess those two games offset one another.

Duncan-led Spurs slip by Kings (http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/spurs/Final_Spurs_90_Kings_88.html)
By Jeff McDonald

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Don’t look now, but the Spurs have a winning streak.

Tim Duncan scored 20 points — including the winning basket with 15.5 seconds to go — to help lift the Spurs to a 90-88 comeback victory at Arco Arena on Sunday night.

Michael Finley added 21 points for the Spurs, who have now won as many as two in a row for the first time this season.

John Salmons threw in a season-high 31 points for the Kings, who were playing without leading scorer Kevin Martin.

In a game reminiscent of the Spurs’ victory over Houston two nights earlier, a wild fourth quarter came down to the final seconds. As has been the case for most of the season, Duncan lifted the Spurs, connecting on an off-balance layup over Quincy Douby to provide the winning points.

There was obvious contact on the play — it could have gone as a charge on Duncan or a block on Douby. Officials called nothing, and the Spurs took a 90-88 lead.

The Kings had two chances to win or tie.

Brad Miller’s baseline jumper with 4.9 seconds left was no good, and Duncan was fouled while corralling the rebound. Duncan missed both free throws at the other end, awarding Sacramento one final possession.

Douby’s 28-footer 3-point try at the buzzer drew nothing but air, and the Spurs laid claim to their second-consecutive victory.

The Spurs, who improved to 4-5, can move to .500 tonight, when they complete their two-game West Coast road trip at the Los Angeles Clippers.

[NewJerSpur]

I'm a Seattle Seahawks fan living in New Jersey, so injuries have KILLED my NFL season :depressed......but glad to see it hasn't affected my basketball season like it seemed it would to this point ;). Thank God for Pop, Tim, and the rest of the gang.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Lol. We're barely a few steps away from being SpursDynasty in this thread. We'd be 8-1if we really wanted to win two of those games. And we'd be 9-0 if it weren't for the Heat shooting some shots. No surprises here.

[Brazil]

We should edit a thread for show some love to Pop or Pop is clutch or props to Pop... imo he is doing a very good job here with sharp and wise decisions.

[Budkin]

This team has really impressed me grinding out the wins they have been with much of their firepower gone. I think this stretch is really going to help us in the latter part of the season once we've got everyone healthy.

The spurs win a couple of 2 point games that could have easily been 2 point losses and some are getting overly excited.

Forget about dreams of a championship. The spurs will not get past the lakers this year. The front court is too weak to seriously contend.

Its better to see them get a top lottery pick and make a trade to unload some of the weaker veteran players and develope the young players to get a roster that will be talented and deep enough to really have a legitimate chance next year.

[rascal]

No they are closer to being 0-9 then 9-0. All their wins have been so close, one or two plays and they could have gone the other way.

[I. Hustle]

People were talking shit about our bench but after our boys come back our bench will have more experience than most. We are going to be DEEP

Would you feel the same way had the spurs lost the last two games by 2 points? The last couple of games were close enough to have gone either way.

The spurs are generally playing up to the competition so far. that is good considering they are missing their starting back court but other than the Houston win they have played even with the weaker teams in the league. That should be expected considering Duncan has been the best player on the floor.
Duncan alone should keep the spurs close in the games against the non playoff teams in the league.

I am just saying if the Finley just so happened to hit that shot and the Spurs are 1-1 instead of 0-2, does that really change how the Spurs played?

I said it then and I will say it again. I am happy with how they have played as a whole so far after 9 games. They started off rocky, but have regrouped with some nice wins on the road and against tough competition. The guys are showing the right attitude and focus from top to bottom. This team is not going to blow anyone out with no Tony and Manu.

Do all the right things and lay the foundation to the chip. That is what the new guys are learning and they are buying in. This is where Pop will shine along with the team.

We have youth that we needed and they are good. We have our best player playing fantastic and our coach is showing why all of the GM's think he is the best.

Umm...what? Why even say something like this? They didn't lose...they won. They beat a contender and they beat a team on their own floor after being down by double digits. There is no point in entertaining the idea of those games being losses.

Because a bounce or two that goes the wrong way and they lose and then your whole attitude changes. Your not seeing how close a fine line it is from winning and losing and your losing the perspective because of a couple of close wins, that the spurs will have a tough time in the playoffs with the current roster as it is now.

What did you expect this team to do? To say you know anything about how they will play once the team is at full strength is very premature. Rookies are not going to be blowing people out. We lost Tony suddenly and had to adjust the entire rotation on the spot. Considering that I'm quite happy with how the team has played.

So far, we've gotten younger at the backup point, younger and more athletic at the 2. We have yet to see Ian play. If they can maintain their defense the scoring will be there when Tony and Manu come back.

Having Bowen come off the bench is impressive to me because there were some this summer who said that Pop would never start someone else ahead of Bowen, that Pop had a man-crush on Bowen, etc...
Pop shows loyalty to his players, it's true, but he's also smart enough and versatile enough to know when a change is needed.

The Spurs were losing games by 20 or needing to score 100 just to make it close. Now they're holding teams to 85 ppg and have a chance to win all of them and you're bitching? You know nothing about Spurs basketball or defense. Go root for the Knicks, you retard.

Don't waste your time with rasscal. If the Spurs were winning every game by 20, he'd bitch that they weren't winning by 30. If they were winning by 30, he'd bitch that it wasn't 40. Getting the concept yet?
