Good game by the Knicks. No excuses with the loss. It's good to know that we don't have to deal with Amare's anymore. The guy's a fucking beast.

[Muser]

lol blaming Pop for "Quitting" when the starters had been sucking ass all night.

[Texas_Ranger]

:lol Spurs

[Banzai]

Felton was a beast..also it is good to see Madison Square Garden full again.

[Darth_Pelican]

Raymond Felton (http://www.spurstalk.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=2753) 28 points

Amare Stoudemire (http://www.spurstalk.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=1727) 28 points

Wilson Chandler (http://www.spurstalk.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=3194) 31 points

:wow

:depressed

[Sense]

Zone defense killed the Spurs.. and the horrible shot selection + turnovers...

all in all, Spurs got mentally fucked and lost this shit after the first quarter.

[ulosturedge]

The Knicks shooting like they were part of a video game tonight. Anyways hats off to them they have a pretty good team.

[Spursmania]

felton was a beast..also it is good to see madison square garden full again.

[lefty]

Felton was a beast..also it is good to see Madison Square Garden full again.

:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:l ol:lol:lol:lol

and finally....

:rollin:rollin:rollin:rollin:rollin

But seriously good game Bockers fans, you really raped usPERIOD.

[Killakobe81]

we sucked tonight no doubt about it

offense was great ... defense was Phoenixesque ...

You guys need a Gortat to go off ...after a game like this LOL

[midnightpulp]

Good game, Knicks.

Gonna be tough to get tomorrow's game.

[Hooks]

The defense should be much much much better once our only backup SF JA comes back :wakeup.


I have no doubt the Spurs will beat the Knicks the next time they play.

[jag]

That shit's embarrassing. If the Spurs want to run n gun they deserve to lose like that.

[Killakobe81]

29-5 is not embarassing Knicks had to play amazing to win that game still ...

[ezau]

Pop can't beat _Antoni in his own game. Ohhh, wait.

[BlackSwordsMan]

_pur_
There's no S in spurs.

[jag]

Giving up 90 pts at the 8 minute mark of the 3rd quarter is embarrassing.

[jeebus]

Kinda hard to beat a team when they go off like that. Oh well, can't win them all.

[Killakobe81]

Giving up 90 pts at the 8 minute mark of the 3rd quarter is embarrassing.

Wake me up when they have lost 10 games like most of the NBA ... Spurs should of been blown out they were in it until late ...

[Brazil]

most points conceaded in Duncan's era.... what a fucking ugly night

[j-money24]

You can't win them all, Spurs still the best team in the league..



Representing the L..A Spurs over here!

[WeNeedLength]

Giving up 90 pts at the 8 minute mark of the 3rd quarter is embarrassing.

Unless you're D'antoni. That is actually in his playbook. To suck asshole on defense but hope his shooters are hot. Good luck Mr. Pringles, you'll be needing it if you expect to beat the elite East teams in the playoffs. Enjoy this win brahs. :hat

[Hooks]

This must be how Mavs fans felt in '07, pretty frustrating.

[ElNono]

lol 128 points
lol championship defense

[Killakobe81]

i know the loss is fresh but spur fans should have some championship perspective and HAVE to expect teams to start gunning for them with a record like that ...

[Muser]

Damn, everyone in meltdown mode after one bad game.

[Jelloisjigglin]

You can't win them all, Spurs still the best team in the league..



Representing the L..A Spurs over here!


20 rings bitch :hat

[ezau]

So what's next? Boston?

[Killakobe81]

Maybe if you face the Knicks in the Finals this game would mean A LITTLE ... this loss proves nothing in the big scheme of things ...

[DJ Mbenga]

wow. gailniari didnt even play. and he can actually shoot.

[WeNeedLength]

Maybe if you face the Knicks in the Finals this game would mean A LITTLE ... this loss proves nothing in the big scheme of things ...


Damn, a Lakers fan telling us Spurs fans to come back down to earth. I can smell that irony from here. :lmao

[ezau]

Killa, you're a good poster, too good actually. TBH, I was expecting the Spurs to win today and lose against the Celts tomorrow. Although we have always matched up well against the Celtics, it's gonna be tough to be them on the road and on the second night of a back-to-back. I still hope we still have enough gas to win tomorrow.

[ohmwrecker]

Bound to lose a game every once in a while, chicken little. The Spurs will bounce back in Boston tomorrow.

[WeNeedLength]

wow. gailniari didnt even play. and he can actually shoot.


First of all, fix you're fucking sig. It's stretching out the god damn thread which is annoying as shit.

Secondly, all the fillers played miles above their heads to fill in for him. I'de gander the Spurs would have beat them with Gallo playing, but that's just me. Gotta keep the eyes on the prize and not fluke shooting nights by an eastern team. :lobt2:

[jag]

Wake me up when they have lost 10 games like most of the NBA ... Spurs should of been blown out they were in it until late ...

Why do the records of other teams matter when it comes to the spurs playing defense? That was embarrassing and suns-like

[Trill Clinton]

Spurs Suuuuuuuuuuuucccckkkkk

[ohmwrecker]

Why do the records of other teams matter when it comes to the spurs playing defense? That was embarrassing and suns-like

The Knicks are a tough match up defensively for the Spurs. Throw in an unbelievable shooting night and +10 in TOs and you have the Spurs playing catch up all night. It's indicative of absolutely nothing.

[Killakobe81]

Damn, a Lakers fan telling us Spurs fans to come back down to earth. I can smell that irony from here. :lmao

Im just saying that the big cushion the spurs have ...record wise allows you guys to to even take backtoback losses and still have a comfortable lead for HCA ...

Now Boston you have a chance of playing in the Finals ... but as you proved against teh cavs losing to a team in the regular season doesnt preclude you from beating that ass in the post-season. And what would a win over a injury depleted Celts team prove?

[Killakobe81]

The Spurs are not the DEFENSIVE team of old ...no they are shitty like the old suns ...but the past 3 games are not real either. Spurs will nee dto play uptempo to win it's their new identity ...

[j-money24]

20 rings bitch :hat

:toast

[Venti Quattro]

29-5... non-issue

[ohmwrecker]

That the Spurs are like the Suns . . .

I know, I know. I was just bustin' your balls is all. :p:

[jjktkk]

The Spurs were making it look too easy. This asswhopping from the Knicks and Pop waiving the white flag too early, should wake them the hell up.

[Giuseppe]

^Maybe like the loss last nite to the Knicks was like a good thing.

tee, hee.

[urunobili]

lol Manu = Trash

[100%duncan]

lol at you dumbshit thread starter dont whine every damn time we lose a game

[jag]

That the Spurs are like the Suns . . .

I said the loss was embarrassing and Suns-like.

Was it a high scoring game with poor defense?

[ohmwrecker]

I said the loss was embarrassing and Suns-like.

Was it a high scoring game with poor defense?

It's one game in which the Spurs played poor defense unlike they have been playing lately. Therefore . . . indicative of nothing.

It wasn't just defense that lost that game anyway.

[Brazil]

Not a big deal to loose a game in the Madison against a hot shooting team but this game is worrisome on some aspects:

- loosing is one thing taking 128 pts in the ass in another
- we have serious serious issue to defend the 3s, this game is a confirmation of what we have seen for instance against Orlando. If you have good 3 pts shooters you have a good chance to defeat the spurs
- entering in a basket trade competition against NY is not very clever, we certainly lacked some bb IQ yesterday
- We have now an important risk to loose 2 in a row playing against the Celts after such a shoot out

[jag]

It's one game in which the Spurs played poor defense unlike they have been playing lately. Therefore . . . indicative of nothing.

It was actually a really simple question.

[Giuseppe]

And still the Neal freeze out goes on. Media is still searching high & low for a strategy to explain how he ended up in Texas.

tee, hee.

[ohmwrecker]

It was actually a really simple question.

It was a simple question, but completely irrelevant to my point. One game is no indication of how this team is playing on average or will continue to play. However, if you really need an answer to your question . . .

Yes. It was a high scoring game in which the Spurs played below average defense.

How has anything you've said in this thread, other than your response to my actual question, been relevant to my point that the game against the Knicks "was embarrassing and suns-like"?

[ohmwrecker]

How has anything you've said in this thread, other than your response to my actual question, been relevant to my point that the game against the Knicks "was embarrassing and suns-like"?

The loss wasn't at all "Suns-like" because the Suns could have won that game. I said that a bad, one-game performance by the Spurs does not indicate that they are the "new Suns". That comparison is idiotic and unsupported by facts.

When did I ever suggest that this type of play was indicative of a potential trend?

You just said it was a high scoring game in which the Spurs played poor defense. The Suns were known for playing high scoring games and little defense. Considering you actually agree with my initial post, I'm not sure what you have to argue about. I doubt you actually know why you're arguing.

C'mon, man. The comparison of the "new" Spurs offense and the Suns offense has been going on pretty much all season. I don't know why you would make that comment if you didn't agree with the idea. I disagree with the idea that the Spurs have morphed into the Suns this season. The Spurs D on average is pretty solid (sure, it could improve) nothing like the Suns whatsoever. If you are going to make that statement, you should expect that someone might draw that conclusion.
My point was that one bad game does not indicate too much. It doesn't really have anything to do with what you believe. I have no idea what you believe. I just read your comment and commented appropriately. That is all.

[Fpoonsie]

And still the Neal freeze out goes on. Media is still searching high & low for a strategy to explain how he ended up in Texas.

tee, hee.

Actually, the NY commentators mentioned what he didPERIOD while he was at the free throw line. Not surprising, really, considering the venue...

[jag]

C'mon, man. The comparison of the "new" Spurs offense and the Suns offense has been going on pretty much all season. I don't know why you would make that comment if you didn't agree with the idea.

I made that comment because that’s what the game looked like. I’d ask if you agree with my observation but we already went over that.

If you’re on a crusade to rid Spurstalk of posters who think the Spurs are going the way of the old Suns, then by all means go for it. But first you might want to make sure the people you are arguing with actually have that opinion of the Spurs.



If you are going to make that statement, you should expect that someone might draw that conclusion.

You're the only one that started getting defensive about it.



My point was that one bad game does not indicate too much. It doesn't really have anything to do with what you believe. I have no idea what you believe. I just read your comment and commented appropriately. That is all.

I never said this game indicated anything so I don't know why you keep making that your "point". And judging from all your irrelevant rambling it's obvious your initial response was anything but "appropriate".

[Dex]

If you let Wilson fucking Chandler go for 31, you deserve to lose.

[BUMP]

This type of defense is why the Spurs have 0 chance at winning a championship. They can't defend the 3 or inside. They're just a newer version of the Suns.

They could possibly get to the Finals though.

[ohmwrecker]

I made that comment because that’s what the game looked like. I’d ask if you agree with my observation but we already went over that.

I agreed that in that specific game that a lot of points were scored and the Spurs, for the most part, played poor defense. I never agreed that the Spurs were "Suns-like". In fact, the Knicks looked more like D'Antoni's Suns for obvious reasons.


If you’re on a crusade to rid Spurstalk of posters who think the Spurs are going the way of the old Suns, then by all means go for it. But first you might want to make sure the people you are arguing with actually have that opinion of the Spurs.

:lol I'm not on a "crusade". I'm just commenting like everybody else. You said "Suns-like", I disagreed. That there is the story, bubba.


You're the only one that started getting defensive about it.

How so?


I never said this game indicated anything so I don't know why you keep making that your "point". And judging from all your irrelevant rambling it's obvious your initial response was anything but "appropriate".

Forgive me, sir. I will never again quote anyone who say the Spurs are "Suns-like" to make a point about how the Spurs are not "Suns-like". What was I thinking?!

[ohmwrecker]

They could possibly get to the Finals though.

If the Spurs get to the Finals, they aren't going to lose.

[BUMP]

If the Spurs get to the Finals, they aren't going to lose.

It's called sarcasm.

The 05 Pistons were the only ones who could even be compared to today's Eastern Conference powers

[21_Blessings]

Therefore . . . indicative of nothing.

Much like the Spurs the record. You can win 69 games this season but that's still not erasing the anal tearing the Phoenix Suns bestowed upon ya.

[21_Blessings]

The 05 Pistons were the only ones who could even be compared to today's Eastern Conference powers

Even then, they needed a former Laker to win that series proper.

The Spurs couldn't help that the Eastern Conference was weak. Prior to 08, all the best teams were in the West.

So wait, you think the Knicks performance reminded you of the Suns, but not the Spurs performance?

Please describe what you consider the characteristics of those old Suns teams.


Forgive me, sir. I will never again quote anyone who say the Spurs are "Suns-like" to make a point about how the Spurs are not "Suns-like". What was I thinking?!

Once again, that particular performance was like that of old suns teams. I never said the team was Suns-like. Do things always need to be spelled out like this for you, crusader? You're not very good at this are you?
