Who would have thunk it?

[Buddy Holly]

The Spurs since Duncan got here have been very conservative with their money but very successful, so much so they became a model blueprint for other teams in the league.

The first year they decide to open the wallet and we get probably the worst team in the Duncan era performance wise.

:wow

[DPG21920]

Quit starting threads.

[Buddy Holly]

What's funny is how everyone wanted the Spurs to quit being tight and to spend money.

Maybe we got what we asked for?

[HarlemHeat37]

The problem with the front office is that they never adjusted their style..I'm not talking about the bullshit that the NBA has "evolved", it really hasn't..it's the same as it was when the Spurs were winning titles from a stylistic perspective..

It makes sense to surround your core with old veterans when your core is young..when Duncan, Manu and Tony are in their primes, it makes sense to have old and experienced vets around them..but when the big 3 are getting older, you're supposed to start surrounding them with youth and athleticism to offset it..this hasn't happened..

[Buddy Holly]

Quit starting threads.

Fuck off?

[DPG21920]

Fuck off?

Seriously. Stop starting threads. They are pointless.

[Buddy Holly]

Seriously. Stop starting threads. They are pointless.

Fuck off?

[DPG21920]

Fuck off?

Please stop starting threads?

[mexicanjunior]

Keep making threads...they are entertaining.

[Buddy Holly]

Please stop starting threads?

Fuck off-o?

[DPG21920]

Fuck off-o?

Honestly though, stop it.

[Buddy Holly]

Keep making threads...they are entertaining.

But I've been asked to stop creating threads on a message board.

Next dude will ask porn stars to stop having set on porn sets. :wakeup

[DPG21920]

No, I am asking you to stop making threads. No one else.

[Buddy Holly]

Honestly though, stop it.

Dude, can you back off, you're standing on my dick.

[Buddy Holly]

No, I am asking you to stop making threads. No one else.

No. Whatcha gonna do about it brother?

[z0sa]

Honestly though, stop it.

Umm, it's a pretty nifty observation, if obvious. It probably deserves some discussion. Why is the most talented TD era team the least cohesive?

[DPG21920]

Dude, can you back off you're standing on my dick.

I would like you to do the opposite of make threads. Thanks.

[easy7]

Make more threads and then stop.

[DPG21920]

No. Whatcha gonna do about it brother?

Are you the Hulkster?

[Buddy Holly]

I would like you to do the opposite of make threads. Thanks.

And that's not going to happen so can you stfu? Please. Pretty please...

[Buddy Holly]

Are you the Hulkster?

No, my penis is. :ihit

But I've been asked to stop creating things on a message board.


So what...homers on this board were asking us to check the month anytime someone said anything negative about the Spurs over the last 3 months...where are they now?

[L.I.T]

Whoo hoo! Forum meltdown.

If I wasn't so pissed off, I'd be entertained.

[Buddy Holly]

Oops, meant THREADS not THINGS.

[z0sa]

I didn't hate, but I definitely didn't think the Spurs would have not only shown zero improvement, but regressed. I'm still hopeful, but I'm having trouble doing more than identifying the problems and pondering their fix. Pop's the one in control and the players are the ones out on the floor and the refs are the ones calling fouls.

[Buddy Holly]

Whoo hoo! Forum meltdown.

If I wasn't so pissed off, I'd be entertained.

Meltdown, on who's part?

[timtonymanu]

(0-4) against the Jazz.
(0-2) against the Bulls.

WTH is going on?

[DPG21920]

lol other thread already moved.

[Buddy Holly]

lol other thread already moved.

So will that kill your hard-on for me?

[DPG21920]

lol you.

[Budkin]

:lmao at this retarded thread.

[DPG21920]

CROFL another locked thread! I told you to stop. Now listen.

[L.I.T]

Meltdown, on who's part?

I'm going to go ahead and say it has the potential to be an all encompassing meltdown. Wouldn't you agree?

The Pop-haters and RJeff bashers are going to be out in full force, the more logical level-headed posters will be trying to stem the tide of "I told you so" posts and negativity. And pretty soon, someone is going to start about a bajillion threads in a row...if they haven't already done so.

Truth hurts...

[JustinJDW]

No chemistry or consistency.

Regardless of how much money you spend or how little money you spend, you need chemistry. If you don't got chemistry or consistency, you ain't gonna do shit.

Fuck off?

wait till march

[BadOdor]

lol Nsinq. lol stealing Slomo's pictures. Lol Nsinq again.

[hsxvvd]

There is some point to this observation...

In the past we've signed CHEAP HUNGRY Veterans,

this year we've signed LAZY OVERPAID Veterans.

[Harry Callahan]

The Spurs are not playing great ball right now because Parker, Gino, and Duncan are not as good as they once were.

The FO spent money on RJ because Milwaukee would be willing to take back fringe players in return (something for nothing other than having to pay Jefferson).

Unfortunately, the Big 3 is not as big anymore.

The only players signed beyond next year are Duncan and Blair (I think). The Spurs might be smart to tear this thing down in the near future.
