The Spurs played great

[ElNono]

Don't let the last 5 mins erase the rest of the game... the Knicks came out firing on all cylinders and the Spurs matched them blow for blow... after the pathetic showing against the Lakers, this was great to see...

Sure, the end of the game will cloud a lot of what happened out there, but the Spurs actually improved defensively as the game wore on, including a 22 pt 2nd quarter and a 17 pt 3rd quarter, where the bench played a big role.

Wheels did fall off in the 4th, but I think there's some good stuff to build on here despite the loss.

Danny Green's defense and Manu Ginobili's offense are going to cost us any legitimate shot at a Finals appearance if they keep their shit up.

[hater]

wake up. a group of old men 39, 35, 30 and a white guy called Novak. those guys handily beat the Spurs at home

JR and Melo didn't even have to break a sweat :lol

We don't have a shot at the Finals, and it has nothing to do with Manu or Danny, tbh... but regardless, Knicks walked in as one of the hottest teams in the league and I think we gave them a good fight...

The reason I personally got upset is exactly because we played great, while the bad coaching cost us a game. At this stage of the season, you can easily forget a game like the one against Clippers since the team is just out-of-sorts.

But this one has some indications of what we can do during playoffs when the game is up-for-grab. Tony, Manu and especially Pop disappoint us.

Yeah. Spurs and Clippers are the two teams that have the strongest shots at a Finals appearance in the west unless the Spurs keep Westbricking their way out of the game in crunch time.

[spurspokesman]

Disagree. They looked terrible late in the third until splitter found the fountain of big man skill. Well you know what happened after that.

Are you really including Kurt Thomas and Camby in your group of old men? Those 2 guys didn't even play tonight. But yeah the problem is that when chuckers like Felton and J.R Smith get hot and you have Kidd hitting 3 pointers five feet away from the 3 point line, it's just not your night....

Rasheed Wallace (38 years old, 15 minutes, 10 points)
Jason Kidd (39 years old, 34 minutes, 14 points)
Pablo Prigioni (35 years old, 7 minutes, 2 points)
Tyson Chandler (30 years old, 33 minutes, 13 points)

39, 38, and 30 aren't unreasonable ages to cite, tbh. Sheed, Kidd, and Chandler all played major minutes and scored in double digits on efficient shooting (>50% from the field).
