Twice today, ESPN has let out wrong information on the spurs.. In the recap of yesterdays game:

"The Spurs have lost four games by 18 or more points this season, all coming against opponents from cities starting with the letter 'P' (Portland twice, Phoenix, Philadelphia)."

From Marc Stein's Power rankings:

"The kind of trivia you will get only from ESPN Research: All four of the Spurs' heavy losses this season -- by 18 points or more -- have been inflicted by teams that start with the letter P: Portland (2), Phoenix, Philly."

1) The Spurs have only lost 3 times by 18 or more.
2) The Spurs never lost to Phoenix by more than 18. Their only loss was by 5 points the first game of the season.
3) The Spurs have only lost once to Portland by 18 or more, and that was last nights game. The other 2 were: a 1 point loss, and a 15 point win last week.
4) The 3rd team was a Houston loss by 19.
5) That means it's not only the teams that begin with the letter P that have beat us!

Morons!

Forward that to Stein at the 4-letter network and tell them to pay your for the fact-checking. You are now an information consultant.

I sent two separate comments on the Power Rankings too. I doubt they even read 10% of that stuff!

Glad to say they changed it, we made a difference haha!

Now changed to:

"Trivia time: Sunday's early (and stunning) 28-point deficit at Portland in Duncan's less-than-glorious return is the largest first-half deficit San Antonio has ever faced in Timmy's 12 seasons."

Now i'm not gonna through 12 seasons of box scores to check that one out :p, but that was a pretty bad loss last night!
