[ducks]

oh and I can not wait to see what reggie says about that 6 title

[testies]

We can if Enrique gets injured and has to play limited minutes

Reggie miller is a clown. "spurs aren't playing like champions" but yet he has never won any championship

:lol

Reggie is just upset that his so called "clutch gene" never amounted to anything.

He's always been a Spur hater.

[testies]

I don't worry about Reggie.. nature already took care of him

[AFBlue]

I don't think you can say reliably one way or the other this early in the season. The Rockets are fools gold and will be until a Dwight-led team proves me otherwise. Dude is bitch-made. The Spurs will get healthy and rolling full steam with the same team that won the the ship last year. And no other team got markedly better. At this point ducks, I'd say you're more likely right than wrong. Good call on countering the cliff jumper threads. I appreciate you.

Things will pick up don't worry, Pop loves these early season setbacks to start berating players

[Horse]

I'd call this more a scheduled loss than a setback.

[Dre_7]

I agree. I think this is the year they repeat. They will get through a tough season in a tough Western Conference and be healthy come playoff time. They wont run over everone in this years playoffs but they will get through it and win a hard fought number 6.

Fat and lazy over the summer + rash of inuries = out of sync team that will gel within a few weeks time. We'll be fine.

A bit of this. I agree that last nights game will benefit everyone in motivation and level of play.

I agree with all the enthusiasm, but it is still very very early to make any predictions IMHO, even though I always hope for that, every year.

[FireMicoHalili]

just hope all the early losing is part of an elaborate plan to get the targets off the Spurs' backs and somehow put it on the Rockets

THIS TBH

[will_spurs]

That loss is a typical CIA Pop move. Get McHale to show his hand, and give nothing back in return.

I'm not expecting the Spurs to even start giving a shit before the ASG. And I agree this is the year they repeat.

He's always been a Spur hater.I agree and I really cant stand that bald alien looking clown. He is a Spurs hater and it shows.

It still amazes me that early last year the Spurs were losing to all the top teams and yet still managed to not only have home court in the first round, but the best record in the league and the number one seed overall.

Pop's figured it out. The Spurs don't worry about jockeying for position during the regular season. They don't worry about knocking off the top teams to make some sort of National/media statement. They are not worried about being at the top of anyone's weekly power rankings. They just focus on playing well, improving and staying healthy...making sure THEY BEAT THE TEAMS THEY SHOULD BEAT and everything else will take care of itself.

[xmas1997]

The Spurs aren't really playing for the best interests of anyone, except for the Spurs.

Whatever it takes to be the last team standing hoisting the trophy is the goal and fine with me.

[AFBlue]

...making sure THEY BEAT THE TEAMS THEY SHOULD BEAT and everything else will take care of itself.

Very good point. This is an understated key to their success for sure. Not many slip ups against the mediocre teams and not taking too much stock in the regular season meetings of the supposed contenders. It keeps the team on an even keel but still gets results in the long run.

[ElNono]

It's damn hard to win it all. We caught a few breaks last season. Even playing amazing basketball at times, a series and a season could get derailed by a missed shot or two (Boris 3 pointer against Dallas, Manu's 3 pointer against OKC, Timmy's series clincher against OKC, just off the top of my head). That's how fine the line is.

The Spurs need to be the best team they can be come March-April and then go from there.
