Spurs lose against Nets Thread

[TIMMYD!]

Put all your complaints and meltdowns here.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

What a joke, most pathetic loss of the decade.


:flag:

[timtonymanu]

LMAO Tim.

LMAO Celtics/Cavs win just dont mean shit.

LMAO Pop

[timtonymanu]

This loss just killed the last hope this team gained.

Hurry up offseason.

[Budkin]

Way to completely ERASE the last two wins Spurs!!!

[qiuyizeng]

spurs is dead,I hope next season better!

[DPG21920]

So, you are going to start a thread after every game?

[murpjf88]

This is a one man team.

LMAO at the WCF's. First round Fodder.

[AnthonyM]

manu deservez betterz

[benefactor]

Now THIS was a bad loss.

[tlongII]

Welcome to the 8th seed! :lol

[ffadicted]

No big deal, I'd rather lose to the nets without our two best players then lose to the Cavs and Celtics without one of our best players

[timtonymanu]

Thanks! I'm looking forward to a possible sweep/5 game series against LA.

[siraulo23]

I dont know what to say about Duncan, he's just look horrible out there

We have no playmaker, no shooters in this game

Fuck this spurs team that showed up tonight

FUCK FUCK FUCK

Okay good, now I feel a lil better

Next game

[murpjf88]

50 wins flushed down the toilet

[Brazil]

nothing to see here, the Nets just taking care of the business

[ace3g]

if only Mahinmi would have played...

[tp2021]

What a joke

[Behrooz24]

The Spurs were who we thought they were!

(nutless without manu)

[lefty]

On the road, on the 2nd night of B2B games, without TP and Manu

(Ok, without Manu)



Give me a fucking break...................................

[boutons_deux]

Spurs with 3 quarters with 20 pts or less against the fucking Nets.

[ffadicted]

BEAT LA!! :jack

[Xylus]

Back-to-back.

No Manu. No Parker.

Nets desperate for wins.

This loss isn't that surprising to me.

[timtonymanu]

This is much worse than the Pistons loss. Holy fuckin shit Spurs. Im that angry.

[mexicanjunior]

If only we started playing like this sooner...we actually could have improved in the off-season.

[Whisky Dog]

They lost to the worst fucking team of all time? I'm going to throw a fucking rock through a window tonight.

[Budkin]

On the road, on the 2nd night of B2B games, without TP and Manu

(Ok, without Manu)



Give me a fucking break...................................

I actually kind of agree... but this Nets team is one of the worst NBA teams of ALL TIME.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs in playoffs only because 9th place team is 6L back.

[ezau]

It is what it is LMAO

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

I am beyond disappointed right now

[murpjf88]

On the road, on the 2nd night of B2B games, without TP and Manu

(Ok, without Manu)



Give me a fucking break...................................

No breaks here. If TD can't rise to the occasion and lead his team to victory against arguably the worst team in nba history, then he has a serious problem.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

what a fucking fade by RJ in the second half of the game.
duncan was invisible most of the game (even on Defense).
dice was a ghost the whole game.
hill did all he could to win the game.
bogans.

[easy7]

Fucking Terrel Owens and Bogans fucked us up.

[Xylus]

The Austin F'ing Torros should be able to beat the nets, hell Kansas, Kentucky, Butler, and/or Duke could beat the Nets.

None of those teams could beat the Nets.

[AnthonyM]

Back-to-back.

No Manu. No Parker.

Nets desperate for wins.

This loss isn't that surprising to me.

You make too much sense to partake in the Spurs forum...get out.

[tdunk21]

easy hothead.....take ur pms pills...

[DesignatedT]

kind of hard when you dont have a fucking point gaurd...

[Sant1ago]

This is the most pathetic loss of the year. If anybody was doubting the value that Manu brings to this team, I think now is more than evident. With manu, the spurs beat the celtics... without manu they lose against one of the worst teams in history!!!
Re-sign manu!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

We should be thanking the Blazers for being hurt so much because if they were healthy all year, we certainly be stuck at 8th for good.

[Chillen]

A pretty laughable loss for the Spurs, but give the Nets some credit for avoiding history and finally winning 10 games. Spurs should have won the game even without Manu and Parker but they were not in uniform so the team wasn't at full strength, all it took was the Nets scoring 10 more points than the Spurs in the 4th quarter.

[DesignatedT]

We should be thanking the Blazers for being hurt so much because if they were healthy all year, we certainly be stuck at 8th for good.

or maybe if we were healthy all year we would be nowhere near the 8th seed....................

[urunobili]

Trade Manu... :rolleyes

[easy7]

:lmaoYou are still afraid of the Lakers...

[it's me]

LOL - who do we rest??

[smeagol]

trade manu... :rolleyes

+1

[DPG21920]

This loss is extra shitty for me. I am in the finals of fantasy and I lost Manu and the Spurs lost. Could not have had a worse day with regards to basketball.

[timtonymanu]

Never would I think we blow out Boston and lose a close game to the Nets.

It would have been the other way around.

[easy7]

This loss is extra shitty for me. I am in the finals of fantasy and I lost Manu and the Spurs lost. Could not have had a worse day with regards to basketball....
And I thought I felt bad...

[Bartleby]

Never would I think we blow out Boston and lose a close game to the Nets.

It would have been the other way around.

I'd prefer to see the Spurs beat teams like Cleveland and Boston and lose to the Nets than the other way around (of course in an ideal world they would beat the Nets, too).

[easy7]

Not fair, the Nets were on Viagra, because they sure fucked the Spurs good tonight.

[Martin R]

Number 8th seed is what SPURS deserve AT MOST.

[DubMcDub]

or maybe if we were healthy all year we would be nowhere near the 8th seed....................

Half the West playoff teams haven't been healthy all year.

[InK]

Lets sign Manu for 2-3m per, but not more....that be craaaaazzzyyy.

[DesignatedT]

Half the West playoff teams haven't been healthy all year.

ok

[jdev82]

what is it with the T.O. jokes? who looks like T.O.? i only caught the last 3 minutes

[The Franchise]

Trade Manu... :rolleyes

Hopefully to play with his best friend in Houston. :p:

[Obstructed_View]

On the upside, I guess all that "It's just the Nets" talk can be put to rest when anyone points out Mahinmi's good performance in the first game.

[TampaDude]

The Lakers lost to the Hornets tonight, so that makes me feel a little better. :lol

I'll take the 8th seed. We can beat the Lakers if the big 3 are healthy.

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[Rick Von Braun]

The Spurs needed this win desperately. They should be ashamed.

My main concern is that Duncan is literally a shadow of his former self. Seriously.

Either there is a serious injury the Spurs' brass is hiding, or this is Tim Duncan declining extremely fast in front of our eyes. He looks lost out there. On offense, he is getting the ball in the right/correct spots... he simply looks very slow out there. On defense, he let's everyone score on him. He still has length and positioning, but even his timing looks rusty.

Can you say with confidence now days that a team with Duncan as a leader cannot miss the playoffs? That Duncan would not let that happen. Not anymore.

I know TP is injured, and Pop gave Manu the day off, but give me a fucking break. These are the Nets!! The team that never watches and analyze video together as a team!! The team that was on track to get the worst record in the history of the NBA!! The team that we had a 15 wining streak against them!! Are you telling me that Duncan, Richardson, McDyess, Hill, Blair, Bonner, the Centerpiece and Mason are not enough to beat the Nets?

The problem I see know is the sharply decline from TD is that we have no interior defense. In the playoffs, Manu could play like SuperManu on both ends of the floor, TP could comeback fresh and be unstoppable... they could potentially cover the offense and create for others to compensate for TD offense. This is tough, but it could be (hypothetically) done.

What it cannot be covered is the front court defense of the paint. If Duncan falters, then... well, we are screwed. McDyess could help, but may not be enough. Blair can get some rebounds, but he wont help with long front court players... and Bonner on defense will try but he doesn't have the physical prowess to be a good defender. Ian is too green and too foul prone... alas, we are screwed.

Defense in the paint is currently the huge Spurs' Achilles heel in the playoffs.

As wonderfully surprising as the Boston win was, this latest loss to the Nets is 100 times as awful. Leave it to this bunch to follow up the best win of the season, with the worst loss of the decade.

[alchemist]

Worst loss of the season. The End.

That's Spurs basketball for you.

Thank you.

LOL SpursTalk in full meltdown mode.

I don't let the regular season get me down much. Even this.

Were this a playoff loss, I'd be tossing my television out the window.

Congrats to the Nets for not being the worst team ever.

[TampaDude]

Worst loss in Spurs history. The End.

[Frenzy]

Some of you spurs fans are the biggest emo fans in the league.

Get a grip jeeze...mad annoying reading the bitching after every loss like it's the end of the world and then saying how the team is awesome the next day.

Get a grip siiiisssssys!

[TampaDude]

This game shouldn't have even been close. We shouldn't have needed a miracle 3 to tie the game. Spurs should've won by 20.

[Manudo Flopo]

The Lakers lost to the Hornets tonight, so that makes me feel a little better. :lol

I'll take the 8th seed. We can beat the Lakers if the big 3 are healthy.

GO SPURS GO!!!!!
Idiot the Lakers could careless right noiw they have already clinched the first seed...dumbass

This is pretty much free therapy for some on ST, maybe more for some than others :lol. In the end everyone calms down the following day and we'll still love and support the Spurs.

[KaiRMD1]

It's all good, we still beat the Cavs & the Celtics. It's just the Nets, I saw the Spurs did them a favor. We'll get the 7th or 6th seed eventually.

[kaji157]

Manu for the MLE... lol

Manu beat 3 playoffs teams with a bunch of players that can´t beat the Nets.

This may have sealed all the question he migh have had about returning here.

[admiralfats]

it confuses me that everyone is so surprised that tim is playing like a tired, old guy. He's older now, and he's tired. I think at the end of last year he started playing a little tired, too. I also thought he was good enough when the playoffs came around for us to compete against the mavs, if anyone besides tony or hill had showed up. so...it's embarrassing to lose to the nets, but manu's playing great, and if tony's feet heal up a bit and he comes back not super rusty...i think we've got a shot. and all we can ask for is a shot.

[dirk4mvp]

Rodrigue Beaubois >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hill

Correct

lol spurs

[TD 21]

I'm not the least bit surprised they lost, this is team bad news/luck, ever since Ginobili's ankle injury in the '08 playoffs, it seems like nothing has went this teams way. Just when things were looking up, he get's injured again (though I think this was more rest/precautionary) and the team suffers a crushing loss, basically sapping all of the momentum they had recently gained.

[TDMVPDPOY]

maybe duncan should give the remaining 40m on his contract to ginoboli and go on the vets minimum

[itzsoweezee]

LoL @ the complete hack Popobitch being exposed. fucking worthless motherfucker.

choke on a wine cork you overrated bitch.

matt fucking bonner even withering against the pathetic nets. fucking pussy.

a competent coach wouldn't being playing this bitch at all.

[alchemist]

:lmao pussies going into hiding when they beat good teams, a little hiccup and they pop up.

[TampaDude]

Just goes to show you how important Manu is to the Spurs. We would've won the title in 2008 if Manu had been healthy.

[itzsoweezee]

This was written in stone when Manu was slotted not to play..


Manu Makes Pop look like a Genius...

LOL

Fuck POP

truer words have never been spoken

[TampaDude]

Idiot, you missed the point. The Lakers lost which makes me happy no matter what. :lol

For the sake of them I hope so.

[J_Paco]

Yes they could.

No, they couldn't. Brook Lopez and Devin Harris are better than every single player on those teams you mentioned.

[DubMcDub]

nothing to see here, the Nets just taking care of the business

:toast Nets just made the shots they're supposed to make.

[Sisk]

Yes they could.

you don't know shit about basketball if you believe any NCAA team would beat the nets.........

Well this trainwreck was pretty easy to see coming. Pop or Holt (or both) had an emo-episode about a guy making the vet minimum and trashed the only guy on the team who could have provided the element missing (interior presence and shotblocking) to help Duncan in the paint.

Instead we get to see the worst help defender in the nba, Matt Bonner, play almost 30 minutes each and every game and sit out on the 3 pt line providing no interior help and throw up bricks all game long.

[crc21209]

Shit happens, move on. The Spurs over the past few years (even championship years) have been known to follow up HUGE wins against a great team with a horrible loss against a crappy team. It's the NBA, it happens...

[SouthTexasRancher]

This years Spurs team could not win a game in the March Madness 65. This team has no pride, no chemistry and it seems very few of the players really give a damn. Losing seems to be ok with this group. Oh well, what the hell...we didn't stand a chance of winning one game from the Lakers in the 1st round anyway. We should start prepping for the 2024 season. :toast

[Ghazi]

Lakers/Spurs will be a WAR!

Yeah...might as well tank and go for the draft pick... :lmao

[timtonymanu]

a WAR for the Spurs, a cakewalk for the Lakers.

Spurs just fear them too much. Dice's slow ass wont help against Bynum/Gasol/Odom.

[TDomination]

didn't the nets barely get everybody back from injury or something like that?

obviously its extremely disappointing that we lost but just like pj carlesimo was saying on the broadcast, spurs had to bring it tonight. everybody knew that the nets are desperate for wins, and this was the classic trap game.

previous to this game, we played 5 games against playoff teams, did well against them and now going off to face the worst team (record wise), on the 2nd night of a back to back, without 2 of the big 3. and the 3rd of the big only looking like half of himself right now, whether its fatigue or injuries, or just oldness idk.

spurs should have won, but we didn't. Hopefully we bounce back and Manu plays on Wednesday.

as long as parker/MANU/duncan are healthy in the playoffs, ESPECIALLY MANU, i wouldnt count out the spurs

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:lol

Ouch.

But not all that surprising.

[Sean Cagney]

a WAR for the Spurs, a cakewalk for the Lakers.

I wouldn't say they fear them, that team is just overall better so fear or not they can't beat them at this point (Too small frontline).

I guess everyone fears LA then? Not a team out there can beat them IMO.

If we are stuck with that seed we are at now even if healthy we are out in one round. We need to get away from that 8th seed.

[Mr Bones]

Who knows, maybe facing the Lakers in round one could be a blessing in disguise-- if Bynum isn't fully recovered yet and Manu and Parker are feeling good. Honestly, at this point, I don't care where the Spurs end up, seeding wise. It's gonna take at least one big upset and one smaller surprise to get to the finals anyway and they might as well face the biggest hurdle right away.

[sa_butta]

difference in the game was FT's 11-20 and TO's 16.
Tim Duncan lead the team with 4 turnovers.

[TampaDude]

I guess everyone fears LA then? Not a team out there can beat them IMO.


There are teams that can beat the Lakers, but most of them are in the Eastern Conference.

[Scola]

Another embarrassing loss & more excuses. :[
