Spurs going to lose...

[NBAfan83]

I feel spurs will lose to portland tonight...

on the tail end of a back to back, and dick jefferson can't play any better than he already has and Duncan's old and tired...

plus portlands hungry and long overdue a win against a west elite.

[Chieflion]

Are you a Spurs fan? Seriously....

[boston.balla]

i think spurs are going to further sink portland. Especially with the loss from their last game in utah.

[Riverwalkman]

Are you a Spurs fan? Seriously....

He's not. Seriously.

[ginobili's bald spot]

Are you a Spurs fan? Seriously....

Why? Is it really so far fetched to think the Spurs could lose today?

[Chieflion]

Why? Is it really so far fetched to think the Spurs could lose today?
The game has not even been played yet. All this bullshit about losing is quite negative at this point. Imagine a Lakers fan telling you, hey the Lakers are going to lose today. How would you feel?

That he has reasons why he thinks the team he roots for will lose? ie back to back, recent shitty play, inguries etc

Bullshit. Can't let TlongII have the last laugh.

[Culburn369]

I thought Collins was gonna shit himself last night when Jefferson woke up for about 10 mins; made some drives & 2 finishes! Collins actually got giddy. But, then Utah put the stopper in the bottle and first Dick, and then Collins returned to their respective mortician cadence. What a Thursday nite.

[Chillen]

The Spurs played like crap vs Utah, I look for a much more competitive game W or L.

[Danny.Zhu]

Plus beating this Portland does not mean anything.

[Chillen]

If you look at the box score the game vs Utah was basically lost in the 1st quarter, all other quarters were competitive though it didn't seem like it at all.


San Antonio (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/sas) 20 30 30 19 - 99

Utah (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/uth) 32 28 33 20 - 113 Final

[mogrovejo]

I doubt it, the Blazers are very vulnerable right now.

[Agloco]

I doubt it, the Blazers are very vulnerable right now.

So was Utah......

[ginobili's bald spot]

Imagine a Lakers fan telling you, hey the Lakers are going to lose today. How would you feel?

Since Pau AND Bynum probably won't play and mbenga is starting... I would probably agree with them. :lol

[Culburn369]

So was Utah......

Yeah, but Portland hunts losing.

[mystargtr34]

There isnt 30 minutes available behind Matt Bonner.... who has to play at least 25 for the Spurs to win a championship...

Apparently.

[NBAfan83]

I'd like to see Blair get 30 min and break Oden.

Or the other way around.

[NBAfan83]

Apparently.

When Matt Bonner plays 40+ and takes 10 threes a games, good things happen, It's not his fault pops only plays him < 40.

That seals it, eh?

[DJB]

We're probably going to play like shit the first 10-20 games with all of these newcomers getting acclimated.

Having 4 days off with all these new players hurts us. I'm not the least bit surprised that we're 2-2 right now. I'll only be worried if Popp continues to be a stubborn asshole and play lineups that don't make any sense, like he did last night.

[Shank]

Having 4 days off with all these new players hurts us.

Shouldn't it be the opposite?

[Morg1411]

Shouldn't it be the opposite?

Yes. It should.

Tonight the Spurs will either win by 1 or lose by 20.

[Spursfan092120]

So was Utah......
Yeah..but the thing about Utah was that they were pissed last night after blowing 2 fourth quarter leads. Now, it's the Spurs who were embarrassed...I see a win coming tonight.

[Culburn369]

Unfortunately I see it as well. The Blazers just aren't tough. They're like the early decade Kings/funky & junky: Bibby/Roy----Predrag/close your eyes & grab---Miller/Oden---Hedo/close your eyes again & grab.

It's a vintage San Antonio moment. It'll tip, they'll kick the Blazers hard in the ass,,,the Blazers will acknowledge that it ain't the Lakers doing the ass kicking and they'll mail it in.

[xellos88330]

If the Spurs bring the same energy as they did last night versus Utah, then I expect them to lose barring the energy of Portland is worse.

[Morg1411]

Portland is going to come straight at us tonight. They beat us 2-1 last year, and they smell blood. We have GOT to come out with energy, and we have GOT to play defense. We can't do that, we're fucked tonight.

Plus, we need Big Dick Jeff to explode tonight.








(Wow...I didn't realize how gross that would sound until I typed it.)

[ffadicted]

Spurs are going to come out on fire tonight, I expect Portland to be down by double digits before the end of the first quarter.

Despite our hot streak cooling down throughout the game, the spurs will come out on top with a comfortable lead.

[Culburn369]

I have a sneaking suspicion that Jefferson did all his exploding for the Nets.

A+ on the sig :tu

[sonic21]

i'm not worried, spurs have always easily won against lottery teams this year.

[DJB]

Shouldn't it be the opposite?

Did you not read what I wrote before that? This new roster not playing significant time together is going to look like shit, just like it did last night.

[Austin_Toros]

let's see if the spurs let oden score inside. or if aldridge kills us again

[Culburn369]

All your new shit is old shit with the exception of the Blair kid. He does look like he belongs though. He's too short (like Boozer) and he'll make you sorry (like Boozer constantly does) if you put too many eggs in his basket (like they do Boozer), but, if he's used properly (like Boozer ain't) he'll impact (like Boozer doesn't).

You're a dumb fuck, but I agree with you.

i hope the spurs lose

of course not he's just being original and pretending to be one
