Game 15: Spurs vs Thunder: Wed. Nov 27 7:00 PM

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

I ain't even worried. Spurs will make a comeback like they always do. It's just a matter if they can clutch it out. It's like 60/40 these days with the Spurs.

[313]

Is Marco in the dog house???

[DatBoyGood]

We really gonna let jackson just go off on us? Smh.

[LittleCriminal]

Put in Baynes!!

[Expert]

typical results. Role players hit at home for both teams. Role players cannot hit on the road. Ball movement stops on the road for the second team.

[Raven]

Welcome to every Spurs game ever: Random trashy guard has a career day.

and here i thought not having neal would change that..

[boutons_deux]

it aint FTs tonight, Spurs just can shoot

[TheGoldStandard]

Just waiting till we see Nando, that's when the towel has been thrown in

[TXstbobcat]

Manu!!!

[Expert]

No defense under the rim

[bklynspursfan]

Bonner in... Desperate times

[Expert]

it aint FTs tonight, Spurs just can shoot
its not shooting. They can't get a stop.

[superbigtime]

finally belinelli

[TDfan2007]

Defense is so bad...

[bklynspursfan]

This lineup scares me...

[$pursDynasty]

Serge is an intimidator shot blocker, Man I wish the Spurs had one of those to pair with Timmy

[TXstbobcat]

Splitter lol

[313]

NOW MARCO COMES IN?? WHAT IS POP DOING?

[Captivus]

We need Baynes to start pushing Ibaka around. They are stronger than us. We need strength.

[r0drig0lac]

nice play tiago

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

why the hell is bonner in the game? ffs pop...

why take gino out when hes generating offense

[TXstbobcat]

Mills333

[bklynspursfan]

Mills with a Neal shot

[313]

pATTYYY333

[Cry Havoc]

BOOM. Ball game is back.

[Expert]

because it's still November?

[bklynspursfan]

Marco!

[TXstbobcat]

Marco!! Nice 8-0 run for the spurs.

[Cry Havoc]

Bonner with the slowest recognition of “my guy is shooting a jumpshot” in history.

[PlayNando]

MARCO LEADING THE CHARGE BACK per par.

[weeks]

suddenly everyone's a believer!
glad to see we're making a comeback. crucial shots.

[313]

marcoooo

[TheGoldStandard]

Bench giving us life.. Green on Jackson and all of a sudden we get stops.

[RD2191]

Here come the bullshit foul calls tbh

[bklynspursfan]

Bonner on the floor opens up the middle... And frankly, we've looked bad before he came in.

Pop did adjust by putting Green on Jackson :tu

[r0drig0lac]

Spurs basket now

[EVAY]

Yes!!! Marco comes in and we are within three!!

[KawhiLeonard]

Its official pop sending a message he doesn't care by playing Bonner down the stretch

[boutons_deux]

pop has quit, bonner, no tony, no tim, but spurs hit 7 straight

[Mnky]

Classic premature meltdown by ST....

[LittleCriminal]

Put in Baynes!

[mclinejr]

It's not over yet!

[moisaenz]

bonner just doing the only thing he can do stretch the floor..

[Captivus]

Bench giving us life.. Green on Jackson and all of a sudden we get stops.

Reaching.

[Spurs Brazil]

good run

[philldafunk]

Wb and Durant still on the pine?

[Cry Havoc]

suddenly everyone's a believer!
glad to see we're making a comeback. crucial shots.

Some of us didn't give up in this thread. :toast

[sexinthatsx]

Patty Mills is stone cold...

[PlayNando]

Lol at idiot posters that don't understand Bonner's value.

[bklynspursfan]

Its official pop sending a message he doesn't care by playing Bonner down the stretch

8-0 run says otherwise. People need to realize Bonner isn't as bad as he used to be. His presence on the court alone makes a difference in how we get defended

[TDfan2007]

We're still chucking, but now they're falling. I'll take it.

[LittleCriminal]

Bonner back on the pine!

[bklynspursfan]

Need a basket here, great defense

[Raven]

fuck it, gotta make those

[bklynspursfan]

Ahhhh Marco usually hits those lol

[KawhiLeonard]

Goaltending?

[RD2191]

damn marco

[Cry Havoc]

Goaltending?

Dude shouldn't you be focused on the court right now? Put your cell phone away.

[DatBoyGood]

Durant hasnt been to the line tonight? shocking!

[RD2191]

:lmao

[Captivus]

Yes Kawhi! Good effort.

[RD2191]

:lmao:lmao

[Raven]

rotation didn't work there.. not sure what went wrong though

[Cry Havoc]

Great D there and a good foul.

[RD2191]

:lmao:downspin:

[Cry Havoc]

rotation didn't work there.. not sure what went wrong though

Parker went down at the other end and didn't know who to cover when he got back to our side.

[r0drig0lac]

parker missed easy layups ...wtf

[RD2191]

what a joke

[bklynspursfan]

Dam Kawhi should've went right into WB

[TheGoldStandard]

Wow everyone is playing Hero ball

[RD2191]

gtfo

[313]

Parker scruggling

[bklynspursfan]

Just can't hit anything

[Cry Havoc]

Someone put on some Benny Hill music.

[PingPong]

Pure monkeyball

[RD2191]

Someone put on some Benny Hill music.

[bklynspursfan]

LOL, no team fouls for OKC thus far...

[Captivus]

Disaster...

[Cry Havoc]

MK6TXMsvgQg

[Raven]

.........

[RD2191]

BAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAA

[bklynspursfan]

Wow Tim.

[r0drig0lac]

Durant hasnt been to the line tonight? shocking!
lol

[TXstbobcat]

Damn Tim!!!!

[urunobili]

Duncan not wanting it tonight...

[weeks]

timmy throws it to the ref.

[PingPong]

JaVale McDuncan

[313]

lmao Duncan

[Cry Havoc]

To be fair, Tony's pretty short.

[r0drig0lac]

Tim :wow:(

[Expert]

everyone is trying to do it by themselves. There is no team ball now

[PlayNando]

Playmanu?

[RD2191]

i swear, that was an awesome run of bloopers

[TheGoldStandard]

Starters come back in and collapse resumes.

[Cry Havoc]

Starters come back in and collapse resumes.

Down 5 isn't a collapse son, chill.

[mclinejr]

We've blown so many opportunities to take this game.

[RD2191]

:lol

[thunderup]

Kawhi missing that ft like its game 6.

[PlayNando]

Kawhi missing FTs like it's the Finals

[RD2191]

:lmao:lmao:lmao

[PlayNando]

Fk tp

[Expert]

welcome to Shit ville

[EVAY]

He did walk on that.

[Raven]

fuck you belli.

[RD2191]

:downspin:

[PlayNando]

Lol kawhi pathetic

[TXstbobcat]

Fuck!!!

[Raven]

like a fukin amateur

[007nites]

lucky shot

[Diego20]

OH COME ON KAWHI!! o.O

[Cry Havoc]

Down 5 isn't a collapse son, chill.

I'd like to retract this statement.

[Texas_Ranger]

Tony Parker cant see his open teammates

[bklynspursfan]

We are pathetic tonight. Now the refs hand them that and 1 cause Durant was bitching. Sooo many missed layups

[TheGoldStandard]

Down 5 isn't a collapse son, chill.
It is when you have momentum and then all of a sudden lose it.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Missing way too many shots, seems like a loss today.

[313]

Ibaka has been protecting the rim like a mad man tonight

[$pursDynasty]

Spurs scared crapless of Ibaka's blocks and the fact the refs don't call him for goaltending

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

just wasn't our night..

[EVAY]

Fk tp
fk PN

[boutons_deux]

damn spurs just can't score, TOs

[SpurPadre]

And that's game. Oh well, can't win 'em all. Stupid turnover by TD, though.

[RD2191]

tank for wiggins tbh

[Captivus]

Weak layup attempts.

[Texas_Ranger]

it would have been better if those bench guys stayed in there.

[024]

2012 flashbacks. Thunder just so much more athletic and energetic than the Spurs.

[PlayNando]

fk PN

:lol

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs are not gonna beat elite teams. They're only 13-1 because they've faced mediocre teams. The only good teams they've faced (Portland and OKC), they've lost to. Not a championship team.

[Expert]

wow, it's amazing that the Spurs don't have a 30 point lead against this team. I guess that's what happens when you play a team above .500.

[TheGoldStandard]

Players meeting where they talk to Tim..

[EVAY]

Well, the best you can say about a game like this is that you hope that we learn from it.

[RD2191]

we just need to blow it up tbh. its been a good run

[TheGoldStandard]

wow, it's amazing that the Spurs don't have a 30 point lead against this team. I guess that's what happens when you play a team above .500.
I think I just heard one of your players break an ankle..

[Cry Havoc]

Thunder didn't win this game... we lost it. Horrible coordination on offense.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs are not gonna beat elite teams. They're only 13-1 because they've faced mediocre teams. The only good teams they've faced (Portland and OKC), they've lost to. Not a championship team.

:lol cliff jumping per usual.

Such a shitty fan.

[TheGoldStandard]

Well, the best you can say about a game like this is that you hope that we learn from it.

Yup, Tim duncan sucked.. that's what we learned.

[Raven]

still in the game smh

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We played poorly but learned a lot. Losses like this in the early season aren't a concern as long as we take care of business against the poor teams.

[crc21209]

Missed opportunities. The D was there, but the offense wasnt. The Spurs stopped these fucks 7 straight times yet didnt score a basket themselves either. I counted like 5 or more layups missed thay couldve cut the lead to 3, 2, etc. Fast break layups as well.

[PlayNando]

Lol manu

[007nites]

Need to get defensive rebounds

[Diego20]

game over.

[SpurPadre]

Well, the best you can say about a game like this is that you hope that we learn from it.

Like TD learning that passing it to the ref isn't a good idea.

[PlayNando]

Ibaka > Kawhi

[Cry Havoc]

Dear god can we buy a fucking 3. Worst shooting I've seen in YEARS.

[weeks]

kawhi really struggled finishing tonight

[kjhip1]

Lol at all these emo spurs fans

[Cry Havoc]

Ibaka > Kawhi

You should really post less.

[PlayNando]

Canr makev shots

[TheGoldStandard]

Kawhi needs to go strong.. too much soft layups.

[RD2191]

the spurs just shit their pants when they play the thunder

[313]

This game isn't over faggots

[$pursDynasty]

Spurs need a young rim protector, watching the Thunder tonight shows what wonders it does for your team defense

[keywester]

I don't understand why Mills isn't used late in a tight game? Try it, Pop may like it!!!

[PlayNando]

You should really post less.

On that play it was true

[Raven]

This game isn't over faggots

it is now.

[Cry Havoc]

we just need to blow it up tbh. its been a good run


Lol at all these emo spurs fans

:lol

[weeks]

they seriously act like the refs giving durant free calls is some basketball move he's developed? seriously? 'the rip'???

[313]

lol what kind of foul was that?

[PlayNando]

It's over

[Cry Havoc]

On that play it was true

Regardless, my post stands.

[The_Coyote]

Ibaka playin' like a beast.

[phxspurfan]

Cheap Reggie Miller type move

[TheGoldStandard]

Spurs need a young rim protector, watching the Thunder tonight shows what wonders it does for your team defense

We got Jeff Ayers...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs are not gonna beat elite teams. They're only 13-1 because they've faced mediocre teams. The only good teams they've faced (Portland and OKC), they've lost to. Not a championship team.

You are not a Spurs fan. Please go away.

We are not even 20 games into the season. Early season games against potential playoff opponents are inconsequential except as a learning tool, and we learned a lot tonight.

[crc21209]

The Spurs were stuck at being down 3 for about 4-5 mins it seemed. The game was right there for the taking, and the Spurs couldnt make a damn shot.

[PlayNando]

Ibaka = tonight's MVP

[McGusto55]

Honesty. .its was that punk jackson that won this game for them

[phxspurfan]

Spurs choked and didn't go hard when it counted. No amount of tryharding it at the end really makes them deserve a win here. Good November loss for Pop, even though sucks that it's against the Refs.

[concan1]

Yeah they own us in OKC Ibaka is playing well, good for Spurs to lose one like this!!

[RD2191]

Spurs aren't gonna beat the Thunder in the playoffs. No way in hell. I'm starting to think the Westbrook injury last year really did open up a spot for us in the Finals.

[$pursDynasty]

We got Jeff Ayers...

if only he was half the shot blocker Serge is he wouldn't have to score a point

[SPIDER2311]

one thing baynes does is protect the rim. dosent do much more

[The_Coyote]

Wow... fuckin' Durant. Shitty, shitty bailout call.

[timtonymanu]

You are not a Spurs fan. Please go away.

We are not even 20 games into the season. Early season games against potential playoff opponents are inconsequential except as a learning tool, and we learned a lot tonight.

His takes are all awful, overreaction posts. He said the Spurs would lose 4 out of 5 after the Portland loss. :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Watch the cliff-jumpers and bandwagoners all lose their shit after this, as if an ealry season loss to an elite team means anything. :rolleyes

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Ibaka > Kawhi

Maybe you should think before you post.

[Captivus]

Kawhi needs to take that 3.

[TheGoldStandard]

The Spurs were stuck at being down 3 for about 4-5 mins it seemed. The game was right there for the taking, and the Spurs couldnt make a damn shot.
They ran the starters in when the bench is who got them the momentum.

[r0drig0lac]

tim 5-14 parker 6-16 kawhi 6-18 ...

[timtonymanu]

Spurs aren't gonna beat the Thunder in the playoffs. No way in hell. I'm starting to think the Westbrook injury last year really did open up a spot for us in the Finals.

You're better than this, rob. :lol

[313]

We still played great defense tonight. The offense just wasn't there. It's not like they hung 120 on us. There's no need to be worried, you can't win em all.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

His takes are all awful, overreaction posts. He said the Spurs would lose 4 out of 5 after the Portland loss. :lol

You mean he's stolen Diaz's shtick?

I wish these people would be banned once 3 of their outrageous cliff-jumps occur. Just get rid of them. They aren't Spurs fans.

[kjhip1]

Spurs aren't gonna beat the Thunder in the playoffs. No way in hell. I'm starting to think the Westbrook injury last year really did open up a spot for us in the Finals.

Please......stop.......

[$pursDynasty]

Spurs contained Durant and Westbrick but Jackson was on fire and Ibaka was unworldly on both sides of the court

[PlayNando]

Kawhi Leonard 6-18 from the field .... awful game tbh offensively. Not sure why he shot so many shots tbh.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Poor ball movement and missed bunnies is why they lost

[TheGoldStandard]

Tom Duncan showed up tonight, Tim's twin who is a shit basketball player. Tim had to go meet his new GF's parents.

[TDfan2007]

Not much you can do when guys miss open 3s and layups. At least the D was great aside from the end of the third quarter...

[Arc]

just a bad shooting night. duncan stuck at TOSB status (passed the ball to the ref.. come on). i wouldn't look too much in to this game. they all had turkey on the brain.

[Johnny RIngo]

the spurs just shit their pants when they play the thunder

Actually, SA looked great against the Thunder last year.

Timmy's decline is obvious though. Can't win games against the top teams playing Parker/Manu ball as we witnessed in the Finals. Sidekicks don't lead teams to championships. Just gotta hope Duncan improves.

[crc21209]

Oh well. Good loss to build off of. Good little kick in the ass after the win streak...

[TheGoldStandard]

It took way too long for them to stick Green on Jackson when that was clearly the smart move.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We still played great defense tonight. The offense just wasn't there. It's not like they hung 120 on us. There's no need to be worried, you can't win em all.

Exactly. O was awful and intensity was lacking, but we know we can defend OKC. Meaningless loss.

[crc21209]

Meth baby and Lamb won't ever play this well against the Spurs again...

[Mnky]

Shot horrible.. we had open looks and got to the basket.. didn't finish our shots r drives. That's all. Great team defense on westbrook and durant.

[TheGoldStandard]

Boris Diaw went Mental Midget too.

[Raven]

disappointed.. ow, well..

[weeks]

leonard missed a ton of bunnies. everyone did actually.
bad night.

timmy looks really bad these days man.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs aren't gonna beat the Thunder in the playoffs. No way in hell. I'm starting to think the Westbrook injury last year really did open up a spot for us in the Finals.

Back to your best cliff-jumping I see. :rolleyes

It's game 15 of an 82 game season, means very little. Get some perspective.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Patty's aggressive defense backfired big time.

[kjhip1]

13-2 can't complain. Held good okc team to 94 points. Different story next time. Love how Kawhi played d on KD.

[timtonymanu]

You mean he's stolen Diaz's shtick?

I wish these people would be banned once 3 of their outrageous cliff-jumps occur. Just get rid of them. They aren't Spurs fans.

OKC is always a tough opponent. The spurs didn't get blown out or embarrassed tonight. They fought all game.

[Budkin]

All you emo bitches need to slit your wrists and stop posting. We're a great team this year. OKC doesn't own us by any stretch. Had we made even 1/4 of the bricks we laid tonight we win this shit. Perspective people.

[Captivus]

The Spurs need a plan B when the 3s are not falling.
OKC is a great team.

[Diego20]

We missed too many 3 points today, 7/27 with 3 10/27 we would have won.

[tmtcsc]

What a shitty game. The Spurs didnt bring it in the 2nd half and Tim looks like a lost puppy at times. I didnt like Pops rotations either. Just a crap performance tonight that was prolly overdue.

The Thunder are dog shit and easily beatable when it will matter most. No worries....except for Tim.

[McGusto55]

Its not cliff jumping..its how the spurs looked...wat fucken game you watch

[TheGoldStandard]

27 shots is way too much from downtown. Need to put it on the floor and create off help defense. Danny Green is virtually invisible.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

All you emo bitches need to slit your wrists and stop posting. We're a great team this year. OKC doesn't own us by any stretch. Had we made even 1/4 of the bricks we laid tonight we win this shit. Perspective people.

Exactly. And it's game 15 in an 82 game season.

Let's tart worrying about whether we can beat OKC when we hit March.

[ElNono]

Defense was more or less there... offense didn't work out. There's going to be games like that... onto the next one...

[RD2191]

Spurs rely on the 3 way too much. Been saying the same thing for a couple of season now. When the 3 aint fallin the Spurs aint ballin.

[Budkin]

Exactly. O was awful and intensity was lacking, but we know we can defend OKC. Meaningless loss.

This x 1000

[Captivus]

Bad game. Bad night!

[SpurPadre]

Spurs fought tough and if it wasn't for stupid unforced mistakes, the outcome could've been different. We'll fuck them up next time just like the Blazers.

[kjhip1]

Good game on lp Dallas and warriors

[RD2191]

Its not cliff jumping..its how the spurs looked...wat fucken game you watch
mutha fukin truff bomb

[SpursRock20]

I would have liked to see more shots from about 5 feet from the basket. It looked like they were penetrating well but whenever they were about to put up a layup it was somehow affected by Ibaka. Also, Green needs to put some gum on the bottom of his shoes. He jumped on every damn pump fake.

[TheGoldStandard]

Tim needs a talking to.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What a shitty game. The Spurs didnt bring it in the 2nd half and Tim looks like a lost puppy at times. I didnt like Pops rotations either. Just a crap performance tonight that was prolly overdue.

The Thunder are dog shit and easily beatable when it will matter most. No worries....except for Tim.

I didn't like the rotations either, but Pop was clearly experimenting with an eye to 5 months from now.

My only worry is Tim too - he's playing like he's done.

[bklynspursfan]

I actually would've stayed with the group that made the 8-0 run. They got us back into it . Bring in Leonard of course cause Durant came in after the timeout, but i would've stayed with those guys

[TheGoldStandard]

Way too soft around the rim.. Layups.. They need to get physical and go into his body when he's up in the air.

[timtonymanu]

Oh the Spurs sucked ass tonight but :lol people thinking the Spurs are doomed for a title because of a regular season loss.

[Darius Bieber]

:lol cliff jumping per usual.

Such a shitty fan.

I was never on the cliff to begin with. It's quite easily seen that last year was the Spurs' real last chance for a title before these younger teams come in.


You are not a Spurs fan. Please go away.

We are not even 20 games into the season. Early season games against potential playoff opponents are inconsequential except as a learning tool, and we learned a lot tonight.

Not really a learning tool. Spurs lost due to the same things we have seen all the time in the past. Some scrub point guard goes off on the Spurs' lack of perimeter defense. Spurs do not use their chances. The game was at 89-86 for a while, Spurs just kept missing easy chip shots near the basket and turning things over. Spurs missing free throws. If you look at the Spurs' record, please tell me one team they've beat that sticks out to you? They almost lost to a Kobe-less, Howard-less Laker team at the beginning.

[TheGoldStandard]

I didn't like the rotations either, but Pop was clearly experimenting with an eye to 5 months from now.

My only worry is Tim too - he's playing like he's done.

I don't like the Ayers experiment.

This!

[McGusto55]

[$pursDynasty]

Games like this are why the Thunder chose to keep Ibaka over Harden bad part is, he only seems to go off like this against us. Man if only they would be dumb enough to trade him to us for Splitter and our next two #1's.

[Budkin]

What a shitty game. The Spurs didnt bring it in the 2nd half and Tim looks like a lost puppy at times. I didnt like Pops rotations either. Just a crap performance tonight that was prolly overdue.

Tim will be fine when it matters. I don't give a shit what anyone says.

[TheGoldStandard]

Tim will be fine when it matters. I don't give a shit what anyone says.

Don't know if he can just turn on the jumper switch.

[Chinook]

Subbing Ginobili for Green ended up stymieing the comeback. Jackson was able to close the game out.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Its not cliff jumping..its how the spurs looked...wat fucken game you watch


mutha fukin truff bomb

Sure, the Spurs played poorly tonight... do you expect them to play well in every game of the 82 game schedule? :rolleyes

Maybe you cliff-jumping POS can start your own forum and freak out there every time the Spurs play poorly rather than putting us through your lack of perspective and big-picture thinking? Those of us with a brain would really appreciate it.

[$pursDynasty]

He I wasn't expecting 72 wins this year. I just hate the way it seems Ibaka's presence intimidated us offensively. If nothing else take it to him and get some fouls on him.

[TheGoldStandard]

Way too many minutes for Ayers in the first half. Don't know why.

[kjhip1]

Truth bombs being thrown all over the place

[TheGoldStandard]

He I wasn't expecting 72 wins this year. I just hate the way it seems Ibaka's presence intimidated us offensively. If nothing else take it to him and get some fouls on him.

Yup, they get scared of the paint. They try to rush shots around the rim and become a jump shooting team.

[SpursRock20]

Subbing Ginobili for Green ended up stymieing the comeback. Jackson was able to close the game out.

Agreed. No reason to play Ginobili just 25 minutes tonight if we really wanted to win the game. He looked solid in the second half.

[RD2191]

I love fellow Spurs fans. Every time we lose to a good team its because we had a bad shooting night or just played sloppy. Maybe its because the Spurs just aren't good enough to beat good athletic teams. Naw, that can't be it.

[cd021]

The Spurs need a plan B when the 3s are not falling.
OKC is a great team.

We still nearly won the game without the 3 ball. Leonard played poorly in the second half and Parker was pretty bad after rolling his ankle.

Our bench did its part to keep us alive and of defense continues to be great at contesting shots at the rim and seldom fouling.

Its a loss that really hinged on a couple of plays at the end (Leonard missing a pair of layups didn't help)

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I was never on the cliff to begin with. It's quite easily seen that last year was the Spurs' real last chance for a title before these younger teams come in.

Why are you here then? Fuck off somewhere else so we don't have to hear you whine.

As you say, Spurs missed FTs, layups, committed stupid TOs, and that has you worried? They were right in this game even though they played poorly. That says there's little to worry about.

To be a contender Spurs will have to improve considerably by April. No need to worry about one shitty loss to a good team in November.

[TheGoldStandard]

I guess what we've learned from this is Jeff Ayers should not touch the court at all during a Thunder game, everyone is scared to get blocked by Ibaka and Tim needs to spend some time with Chip.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I don't like the Ayers experiment.

I think that was one of the things we learned. Ayres is unlikely to be playing in March and beyond.

[boutons_deux]

Tim will be fine when it matters. I don't give a shit what anyone says.

Tim's head concerns me more than his jumper. he was spectating that scramble on the base line when WB passed to the man standing next to him

I love fellow Spurs fans. Every time we lose to a good team its because we had a bad shooting night or just played sloppy. Maybe its because the Spurs just aren't good enough to beat good athletic teams. Naw, that can't be it.

:lol rob cliff jumping per par.

Come on rob, we got dis. :lol

Why are you here then? Fuck off somewhere else so we don't have to hear you whine.

As you say, Spurs missed FTs, layups, committed stupid TOs, and that has you worried? They were right in this game even though they played poorly. That says there's little to worry about.

To be a contender Spurs will have to improve considerably by April. No need to worry about one shitty loss to a good team in November.

I'm not whining, I'm just speaking some truth. A teams' fan should be able to express how his team is doing poorly. Hell, I'm sure the Utah Jazz forum is "whining" all the time. But they're still fans of their team.

if we are going to play Ayers he better start blocking shots and being a defensive presence, we don't need any offense from him, just interior defense, shot blocking and rebounding. Does that has been we have on the Toro's block shots?

This entire season is pointless if Tim is just gonna be a sourpuss, pouting and shit and being scared to take shots. We can't accomplish anything if he is as mindfucked as he looks. It would be one thing if Timmy was physically incapable. I'd call it one of the most amazing careers of all time in any profession and give up on him, but it looks like he has just given up on himself. He is still quite obviously capable. It's just that the mental is not there for whatever reason.

It's probably because of that bitch, Amy. Hope her lover knocks her up just before she catches him knocking another bitch up.

Can't we find Tim another, younger blond woman to take his mind off things? His struggles are clearly related to neurosis.

I thought he'd grown up, but obviously not. Meh.

"Naw." I really think we shot poorly and played sloppy. Athleticism is not the only factor.

Tim must have lost his kids to the ex this Thanksgiving because he looked like a heartless zombie tonight.
