[Horse]

Better wake the fuck up stop looking for the 7-point play.

[BatManu20]

Kawhi's shot had me lol'ing pretty hard tbh

[Ditty]

A lot of time left. Think Kawhi's shot was tipped. To much time.

[ElNono]

Give it to Manu and clear out, tbh

[TE]

Guys just need to take it one possession at a time

[TDfan2007]

4 Down the rest of the game, tbh.

The rest of our guys aren't playing w/ their heads on straight.

[spurraider21]

kawhisolation is not going to get it done

[TE]

Nothing is goingin, one of those nights tbh

[ElNono]

shit turnobili

[TE]

My god Manu.

[RD2191]

Manu giving the game away

[resistanze]

Turnobili

[timtonymanu]

It's amazing that we play like a contender against the actual contenders and look like shit against the mid-tier/lottery teams. :lol

[DPG21920]

Manu sucks so bad tonight.

[BatManu20]

What a shitty game all around.

[ElNono]

somebody make a 3

[01Snake]

Another loss to a shitty team?

[timtonymanu]

Game 7 Manu

[DPG21920]

Still a winnable game. Need stops.

[Uriel]

Wow.

[RD2191]

Fuckin joke. Losing to the fucking jazz.

[Brunodf]

That's game

[DPG21920]

Maybe Manu should do less trolling of Mills and more work on his shot tbh..

[Uriel]

This is embarrassing. What a disgrace.

[Ditty]

That's game.

[TE]

Can't hit an open shot. Untimely turnovers on possessions where momentum is basically about to seesaw the Spurs way. Perfect way to lose to a team like the Jazz.

[timtonymanu]

It's still a game as long as Turnobili sits.

[RD2191]

I just want the 1 seed. Looks like it ain't happening this year.

[midnightpulp]

Please retire, Manu.

[Darius Bieber]

Wow. This team isn't going anywhere playing like this.

[ElNono]

it's the reality of this team, tbh.... lotsa talk about Kawhi or Danny, but they can't afford a bad game from Gino...

[Robz4000]

Dagger. This team could lose to the Jazz and Knicks in back-to-back games. Kirby also has his potential MJ-passing game Friday and the league will prolly fix that one for him.

[Brunodf]

Spurs playing so bad that they can't overcome the 5 vs 8 against the Jazz :lol

[crc21209]

What a waste. Cant afford to lose to shit teams who have lost 9 in a row..

[apalisoc_9]

Manu..:lmao

Give the ball to kawhi or tim..Stop turning the ball over

[timtonymanu]

I just want the 1 seed. Looks like it ain't happening this year.

Still possible but Splitter needs to stop being a pussy so the Spurs can have more depth.

[ElNono]

damn... 4-17 from downtown

[BatManu20]

Nobody can hit a shot tonight.

[NASpurs]

You know that Jazz fan is in this thread, constantly refreshing and probably has a bottle of lotion next to him.

[Budkin]

Worst loss of the season by far. An utter embarrassment. No excuses.

[ElNono]

wish Gino would take some 3s here, tbh

[crc21209]

Here comes the 7-0 late charge where we come up short..

[Ditty]

Tim sucks balls tonight

[TE]

Wow. This team isn't going anywhere playing like this.
It's the NBA tbh. Teams are going to have games like this where they look like ass. The Spurs were due for an all around shitty performance.

[Fireball]

wow ... Spurs cannot afford losing games against these kind of teams this season ... they might end up without hca in the 1st round

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu's selfish cuntistry set up this loss.

[RD2191]

Need stop and a 3

[Fireball]

It's the NBA tbh. Teams are going to have games like this where they look like ass. The Spurs were due for an all around shitty performance. they just had one in Brooklyn

[DPG21920]

Manu with the stupid gamble. Idiot!

[Darius Bieber]

It's the NBA tbh. Teams are going to have games like this where they look like ass. The Spurs were due for an all around shitty performance.

Not when the Spurs have been off since Saturday and the Jazz played in Sacramento last night. No excuses..

[BatManu20]

Dammit Bobo

[TE]

Just standing around. smh defend, you're fucking professional basketball players. Stop standing around.

[RD2191]

This really pisses me the fuck off.

[timtonymanu]

Tim sucks balls tonight

He's literally the only player to show up tonight. :lol Huh?

[resistanze]

:lmao Manu wtf

[Robz4000]

This is the worst officiated game I've seen all season.

[spurraider21]

can't hate on Hayward... made some clutch shots

[ElNono]

just hate we wasted a good game from Tim, tbh

[BanditHiro]

lol why the fuck is Manu still in the game?

[crc21209]

Way to give a game away idiots...:tu

[RD2191]

Way to give a game away idiots...:tu

[TE]

they just had one in Brooklyn
The Spurs are not suppose to be invincible. They aren't going to look crisp every game.

[ElNono]

lol why the fuck is Manu still in the game?

italian coach, IMO

[Amuseddaysleeper]

BRUTAL game

[100%duncan]

Tim sucks balls tonight

21 10.

[cjw]

Last year, we were beating the Nets and Jazz of the world and losing to the best teams out West. Would rather have it this way.

And no Parker is bad enough, but no Parker + Mills is painful.

[timtonymanu]

It's easily the worst loss because of how shitty the Jazz are this season. :lol But still, means nothing in the long run.

[crc21209]

Manu fucking sucked tonight...

[Rescueone]

Manu is stinking it up

[BatManu20]

Manu's having a bad game, yes, but he's also forcing the issue like crazy cause nobody else on the floor is doing shit to create offense in the half court.

[ElNono]

oh well... hope HI-FI stops making game threads, tbh

[Juggity]

this is shameful, wow. Dropping a cupcake game like this with the western conference the way it is. Worst loss of the season imo.

[Mikeanaro]

Lol people making noise like they killed hitler.

[Darius Bieber]

It's easily the worst loss because of how shitty the Jazz are this season. :lol But still, means nothing in the long run.

It does when the West is so tight. HCA is crucial to the Spurs tbh.

[ElNono]

Manu fucking sucked tonight...

yup

[KaiRMD1]

I don't hate Ginobili, I love the guy, he's been awesome for us but why the fuck is he still in the game?

[spursparker9]

lol Spurs are 6th seed now right ?

[timtonymanu]

Thanks Turnobili. You better destroy the Knicks now.

[crc21209]

Soooo your telling me theres a chance? :lol

[RD2191]

It's easily the worst loss because of how shitty the Jazz are this season. :lol But still, means nothing in the long run.
It does if the Spurs keep losing to shitty teams. That 1 seed is crucial out west.

[Russ]

Daye might have helped in this game.

[Rescueone]

Leonard also!!

[tim_duncan_fan]

MVPatty is exactly the thing we needed to get this win.

Hurry up and heal, Pat.

[SpurPadre]

I know we're shorthanded but come on. Against THIS team? Fuck.

[Budkin]

LOL giving up 34 pts to the Jazz in a quarter.

[RD2191]

Jazz fans apparently think they won the championship.

[spurraider21]

just hate w̶e̶ Manu wasted a good game from Tim, tbh

[crc21209]

The only good thing about tomorrow's b2b is that the Knicks also played tonight, in New Orleans...

[hommeaetage]

That was the most pathetic defense I've seen in the last 5 minutes

[milkyway21]

DUNCAN & KAWHI PLAYED 34 min :( grr.

[Horse]

They're just not gonna bring the effort every night this time of year. A shame to waste Timmys big game. No focus tonight all the unforced turnovers and missed layups and free throws.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Defense was pretty mediocre tonight. Get by your initial defender = easy shot, since Duncan would step up and only bad rim defenders behind him.

[RD2191]

Wow

[Trill Clinton]

all ball

[spurraider21]

:lol kiwi getting Westbrook calls

[Robz4000]

DAMNIT

[Darius Bieber]

Refs bailing out the Spurs.

[TE]

Wow fuck. Hope Kawhi is alright.

[spursparker9]

that was clean block tbh

[Robz4000]

Leonard ok, phew

[Mikeanaro]

Well, nobody told you to land on your ass...

[BatManu20]

Damn Kawhi fell hard.

[crc21209]

We can only get away with CoJo as the only PG for so long. We need TP and/or Patty bad...

[benstanfield]

This team REALLY misses Tiago tbh. His agility, verticality, and fundamental boxing out is kryptonite to :monkey like Favors

[KL2]

B4 the whistle

[crc21209]

Play solid D here, no need to foul..

[Juggity]

5 points isn't insurmountable

[timtonymanu]

The "too late of a run" goods by the Spurs. Would have been nice if this was earlier.

[ElNono]

hate when the Spurs play to the level of the competition... but we're the champs, coasting is understandable....

[RD2191]

What was the Spurs record this many games in last season? Anyone know?

[crc21209]

So the Grizzlies are 10-1 at home. Hmmm wonder who that 1 loss was to? :tu

[Rescueone]

Too many missed FT's and too many TO's

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Phoenix lost to Miami too. All these Western teams just laying down the red carpet for OKC.

[RD2191]

Where's t mac when you need him, tbh.

[crc21209]

The "too late of a run" goods by the Spurs. Would have been nice if this was earlier.

Yup. Called it. I said here comes the 7-0 run where we come up short...

[DarrinS]

What was the Spurs record this many games in last season? Anyone know?

Yes

[Spursfanfromafar]

Leonard gon think twice before marching back into da paint

This buffoon is still lurking in these forums?

Det core.

[benstanfield]

Reminds me a lot of the Nets game. A lot of stupid mistakes and not our night bounces and we still somehow should've won

[Johnny RIngo]

Really bad game from Manu. Nobody could shoot straight either which made things worse. Team really needed Tiago and Patty tonight.

[FlAVaK]

What was the Spurs record this many games in last season? Anyone know?

17-4

[Uriel]

Hayward is the whitest man I've ever seen.

[ElNono]

What was the Spurs record this many games in last season? Anyone know?

17-4

[crc21209]

Run that Manu to Green corner 3...

[benstanfield]

We were also at full strength at this time last year

[RD2191]

Thanks fellas.

[DPG21920]

Manu going to hit a 3 and make it close and people will think he played well

[Johnny RIngo]

So the Grizzlies are 10-1 at home. Hmmm wonder who that 1 loss was to? :tu

Warriors are also undefeated at home except for that one loss to us.

[ElNono]

:lmao how is that a timeout if he doesn't have the ball?

[BatManu20]

Smh

[RD2191]

Lmao refs fucking the Spurs

[DPG21920]

Wow refs!!!

[Robz4000]

:lmao refs

[timtonymanu]

Hope the refs fall and break something, tbh.

[KL2]

He's refs are pathetic, and lol Beli

[Trill Clinton]

fucc these refshttp://i59.tinypic.com/fvjvw7.png

[TE]

Wow fuck you refs. That's embarrassing.

[KaiRMD1]

This some bull........

[Chris]

Refs are bad tonight :lol

[RD2191]

That was some serious bullshit

[KL2]

Messina has a hard on for a Manu/Belli, bad news. Hopefully SA doesn't resign Belli in the future.

[Robz4000]

Congrats Jazzrefs

[TE]

Fucking horrendous officiating. It shouldn't even be a discussion. That's an eight second violation.

[ElNono]

Manu going to hit a 3 and make it close and people will think he played well

they shouldn't, tbh

[crc21209]

:lol Awarding a timeout to a guy when he doesnt even have the ball. Fuck off refs...

[Budkin]

:lol these fucking refs!

[crc21209]

Alot of Utah assholes getting tight right now..

[Horse]

Refs doing everything they can to make this game close
Enjoy your Super Bowl win and stop saying stupid shit.

[BatManu20]

We need a 3 tbh.

[RD2191]

Fucking horrendous officiating. It shouldn't even be a discussion. That's an eight second violation.
Tbh

[313]

What was the Spurs record this many games in last season? Anyone know?
They were 22-7 on xmas last year

[Chris]

It's like these refs are fresh from the YMCA tournament

[timtonymanu]

:lol Jazz playing 8 on 5
:lol Spurs playing like absolute shit
:lol still a 5 point game

[crc21209]

Are these the Jazz or the Thunder?

[KaiRMD1]

Yo seriously, fuck these refs man.

[DPG21920]

Put in Daye - why isn't he in??

[313]

What was the Spurs record this many games in last season? Anyone know?
They were 22-7 on xmas last year

[BatManu20]

Game.

[crc21209]

Green wasnt very open there...oh well.

[Uriel]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck. Just one of those games. Couldn't buy a bucket tonight.

[KL2]

No Leonard :lol

[ElNono]

we couldn't hit shit from downtown this game

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

I don't think it was a violation, since the shot clock still showed 16. It has to show 15 for it to be a violation because it counts down from 17 to 16.9, etc.

[RD2191]

They were 22-7 on xmas last year
Dang, gotta get a win streak going.

[TE]

Nice look couldn't connect...the team should not have been in this situation in the first place.

[timtonymanu]

Jazz missing crucial free throws and the Spurs can't make them pay. Smh.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs aren't making the playoffs like this.

[BatManu20]

Spurs just give up :lol

[crc21209]

Pop just awarding a win to Snyder. :lmao Streamers!

[KaiRMD1]

Jazz are on the list, we raping them next game, book it

[RD2191]

Rofl jazz celebration

[ElNono]

Spurs aren't making the playoffs like this.

:lol

[Uriel]

:lol Jazz celebrating like they just won a playoff series

[timtonymanu]

Well, this loss sucks. Wouldn't have mattered if the Spurs didn't also give the game against Brooklyn away.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Wow. This game isn't still over?

I thought this was one of those "burn the tape" games.

[Juggity]

Did they really just release streamers for a regular season win? good lord :lol

[benstanfield]

Manu with as many misses as the rest of the bench had shot attempts

[hommeaetage]

I don't get mad at early season losses, but this is one of the most annoying ones because of the pathetic effort

[BillMc]

Well, hell.

[Mikeanaro]

Even if we were a bit better tonight refs would still shit the party anyway.

[benstanfield]

Did they really just release streamers for a regular season win? good lord :lol

Utah tbh. What else you got but church, oxy, and hate?

[TE]

I don't think it was a violation, since the shot clock still showed 16. It has to show 15 for it to be a violation because it counts down from 17 to 16.9, etc.
I've seen 16 show on the shot clock and the officials make that call before in other games. Being that it was at the end of the game with all these possible scenarios to happen, the officials should have known that the eight second rule still exists. It's a blown call.

[timtonymanu]

Did they really just release streamers for a regular season win? good lord :lol

To be fair, it will probably be Utah's best win of the season. :lol

[DarrinS]

Did they really just release streamers for a regular season win? good lord :lol

Did they really?

[Johnny RIngo]

Not gonna win many games shooting 4-20 from beyond the arc. Also, Joseph plays 30 mins and doesn't record a single assist - mediocre production for a point guard.

[ElNono]

they were coming from 9 losses in a row... obviously this is a big win for them

[Sean Cagney]

they were coming from 9 losses in a row... obviously this is a big win for them

Yep, that is embarassing losing to them but it happens. On to the next game, Spurs will play better. Early in the year yet, these losses will happen.

[hommeaetage]

And yeah, Splitter needs to stop pretending he's injured just to get a vacation. No one told him to go play the WC

[Mikeanaro]

Will Pop get mad again?

[BatManu20]

Jazz dropping confetti :lol

[Rescueone]

Tony was missed tonight and it showed

[concan1]

Jose[h should not be playing 3rd string point guard is why we lost. We need Mills and Parker back. Will not win to many on the road without them.

[TE]

I blame OP, HiFI shouldve started the game thread

[timtonymanu]

Not gonna win many games shooting 4-20 from beyond the arc. Also, Joseph plays 30 mins and doesn't record a single assist - mediocre production for a point guard.

I wish MVPatty was coming back sooner. I'm tired of Joseph's hit or miss bullshit.

[crc21209]

Very, very bad loss. I just noticed Utah played last night and lost to Sacramento without Cousins IN Sacramento...

[RD2191]

Jose[h should not be playing 3rd string point guard is why we lost. We need Mills and Parker back. Will not win to many on the road without them.
Defense was also pretty terrible tonight.

[SpurPadre]

Yep, that is embarassing losing to them but it happens. On to the next game, Spurs will play better. Early in the year yet, these losses will happen.

Hasn't happened to the Dubs yet and that's the problem. We've lost to two scrubs in the last week.

[BatManu20]

Basically makes tomorrow a must win imo. Can't keep dropping losses to terrible teams. Luckily the Knicks are horrendous this year.

[Budkin]

Tim gonna rest tomorrow tbh. Knicks "find their groove."

[RD2191]

I wish MVPatty was coming back sooner. I'm tired of Joseph's hit or miss bullshit.
Too timid. He's a trash PG but can be effective when he's aggressive on offense.

[Budkin]

Fisher coaching his first game in SA? You know we're gonna lose.

[timtonymanu]

Hasn't happened to the Dubs yet and that's the problem. We've lost to two scrubs in the last week.

Dubs are this year's Portland/Knicks. Whatever team starts out hot. Things will even out eventually.

[midnightpulp]

Knicks are going to come out fired up tomorrow, too. And the fact Duncan probably won't play means it could be another trap game.

And that faggot Splitter seriously needs man the fuck up.

"Um, Mr. Splitter, we've ran 100 thousand dollars worth of tests and we are failing to find anything wrong with you."

"But it hurts. I swear!"

[loveforthegame]

Duncan: 10-16, 23pts, 14rbs, 4blks, 3stls

Leonard: 7-13, 16pts, 5rbs, 5as, 5stls

Green: 6-10, 13pts

Ginobili: 3-17, 10pts, 8as, 4to

[crc21209]

Hasn't happened to the Dubs yet and that's the problem. We've lost to two scrubs in the last week.

To be fair the Warriors should have already lost. It took a last second Curry 3 for them to beat the Magic at home...

[crc21209]

Duncan: 10-16, 23pts, 14rbs, 4blks, 3stls

Leonard: 7-13, 16pts, 5rbs, 5as, 5stls

Green: 6-10, 13pts

Ginobili: 3-17, 10pts, 8as, 4to

Good god Manu was horrendous tonight. 3-17. The fuck?

[RD2191]

Hasn't happened to the Dubs yet and that's the problem. We've lost to two scrubs in the last week.
Dubs ain't shit. Teams with a PG as their best player/1 option don't win titles. Iverson came close. So did TP. And no I'm not forgetting IT and Magic.

[Ditty]

He's literally the only player to show up tonight. :lol Huh?


21 10.

I meant defensively he played lazy all night against Favors imo

[TD 21]

We can only get away with CoJo as the only PG for so long. We need TP and/or Patty bad...

Why would you want three PG's at your disposal when you can have seven bigs? It's ironic that the team that relies more heavily on every player on the roster than any other, decided to a spot in the garbage for some reason.

Between the law of averages being in the Jazz' favor, their motivation level clearly being higher and the Spurs' injuries and lack of continuity given the constant state of flux to the rotation, I'm not the last bit surprised with this loss and wouldn't be surprised if they follow it up with another one tomorrow.

Even considering the lack of continuity and motivation though, the late game execution against mediocre to worse competition has been poor all season. It's unacceptable to have four such losses already.

[SpurPadre]

To be fair the Warriors should have already lost. It took a last second Curry 3 for them to beat the Magic at home...

Standings don't account for should haves. Losing home court advantage to them or the Grizzlies wouldn't be the worst thing in the world but we can't lose it to the Mavs or Rockets, Bulls or Cavs. Luckily the Thunder will be climbing the rest of the way.

[timtonymanu]

I meant defensively he played lazy all night against Favors imo

Duncan can't guard these kind of players anymore. It's why Splitter would have been nice to see tonight but :cry it still hurts :cry apparently.

[BatManu20]

Say goodbye to being #2 in the NBA Power Rankings again this week :cry

[SpurPadre]

Dubs are this year's Portland/Knicks. Whatever team starts out hot. Things will even out eventually.

Not a fair comparison because the Dubs play defense and are committed to playing defense.

[timtonymanu]

Not a fair comparison because the Dubs play defense and are committed to playing defense.

I'm just referring to the early breakout. It's never good to peak early in the season.

[RD2191]

Not a fair comparison because the Dubs play defense and are committed to playing defense.
The dubs have been ranked statically high on D for the past few seasons and have nothing to show for it come playoff time.

[Johnny RIngo]

I meant defensively he played lazy all night against Favors imo

Defensively - TD looked solid in the first half. Not so great to close the game.

[SpurPadre]

Dubs ain't shit. Teams with a PG as their best player/1 option don't win titles. Iverson came close. So did TP. And no I'm not forgetting IT and Magic.

They may not win it but I wouldn't outright dismiss them. I mean, we're in their heads, no doubt but if they get HCA over us, it could give them a huge boost of confidence.

[SpurPadre]

The dubs have been ranked statically high on D for the past few seasons and have nothing to show for it come playoff time.

They have good coaching this time.

[RD2191]

They may not win it but I wouldn't outright dismiss them. I mean, we're in their heads, no doubt but if they get HCA over us, it could give them a huge boost of confidence.
Certainly but I don't think they'd win. Maybe steal a couple but that's it.

[SpurPadre]

I'm just referring to the early breakout. It's never good to peak early in the season.

David Lee hasn't played a game yet and he's due to come back soon so I wouldn't say they've peaked yet.

[Johnny RIngo]

They have good coaching this time.

Too early to call Kerr a good enough coach to get them over the hump

[Robz4000]

Spurs losing to the Knicks and Lakers wouldn't shock me tbh. Knicks will be fired up and the Big 3 will be sitting, and Kirby will be gunning to pass MJ on national television, meaning he'll get 40 FTs to ensure it and the Lakers will pull out a bullshit win.

[RD2191]

David Lee hasn't played a game yet and he's due to come back soon so I wouldn't say they've peaked yet.
They actually play better without Lee imo.

[timtonymanu]

David Lee hasn't played a game yet and he's due to come back soon so I wouldn't say they've peaked yet.

The Dubs have actually looked a lot better without him, tbh. I'm betting he makes them worse off when he comes back.

Anyway, I'm just saying because a team starts out hot doesn't mean it will hold up. We've seen it happen every season unless you're the 72-10 Bulls.

[SpurPadre]

Too early to call Kerr a good enough coach to get them over the hump

His staff is battle-tested and as someone who lives in the Bay Area, I've seen their games and can plainly see the difference in quality of play under Kerr compared to under Marc Jackson. Our series against them in '13 wasn't a walk in the park.

[Mugen]

I blame HI-FI and ElNono for tonight's shitshow tbh :lol

[ElNono]

I blame HI-FI and ElNono for tonight's shitshow tbh :lol

:lol

[SpurPadre]

They actually play better without Lee imo.

As someone who lives near Oakland and watches their games, no. Especially not in terms of rebounding. And having him off the bench, where he'll play the rest of the way, will be a good thing for them.

[HI-FI]

I blame HI-FI (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=34236) and ElNono (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=8054) for tonight's shitshow tbh :lol
:lol

I didn't even watch the game, been way too busy. sounds like Manu was garbage. I think ElAgente was chatting with Manu earlier on AIM, knew he was preparing a shit sandwich for tonight and tried to tag my name along with it.

[Mugen]

:lol

[timtonymanu]

If the Spurs can't beat Melo isos, then we have a big problem. :lol

[gameFACE]

Spurs were playing the "turn on the switch" card tonight. Even Pop's ejection couldn't turn it on. Next, please.

[Robz4000]

Scro, we're gonna murder both teams tbh.

That is what you think! :bobo

[TD 21]

David Lee hasn't played a game yet and he's due to come back soon so I wouldn't say they've peaked yet.

His return is probably going to slow them down. As much as people criticize him, he's obviously better than a fringe rotation player, but it'll be difficult to make him more than that without changing the dynamic of the team. Him and Speights together would also make an awful defensive combination.

Either way, the Spurs and Thunder both have a level the Warriors can't reach. I must say though, they do seem legitimately better than the Clippers, which I wasn't expecting.

[HI-FI]

:lol the original thread title was "Hi-Fi", but you never showed up to start the game thread, so I had to do it for you, tbh...
thanks for the reminder but i've been out of it. didn't start lurking til the game was underway. you can start the next one unless you worry about jinxing The Client.

I haven't read any other posts yet, but I hope no one having a meltdown over this. This game in no way resembles anything that matters. There is simply no doubt the spurs are better than the jazz. They just had a bad shooting night without their starting point guard. Meaningless game.

People are just mad because the Spurs threw away an easy game and played as shitty as they did in Brooklyn. The loss is meaningless but it may hurt later in the seedings.

Fisher coaching his first game in SA? You know we're gonna lose.

Not that much so being we sent him out to retirement a loser in the playoffs and he retired :). You know though it would not shock me if they won in SA tomorrow, would suck but Fisher seems to have some kind of mystique at times when he enters that damn building.

Well obviously there is no question they are alot better than the Jazz, nobody said otherwise. Which is why a loss like this is one of those joke earlier in the year losses that the Spurs routinely get until they can find their groove.

Good thing we get a literal punching bag in the :lolKnicks:lol tomorrow. My guess is Carmelo goes for 30 and 10 in a 25 point Spurs win.

The Spurs are not suppose to be invincible. They aren't going to look crisp every game. Losing against bad teams this year will not gonna cut it standing wise in the WC
