[Mikeanaro]

[Big Empty]

[hater]

"Manu GInobili has become a 4th quarter turnover machine"

has this nigga not been watching the last 2 or 3 years?????

[Old School 44]

I wonder what username Skip post under on Spurstalk?

[Dex]

It's a bad sign when Bayless is jumping ship and SAS is trying to pump us back up.

:cry "The worst PG in the NBA" :cry

I heard one of the ESPN announcers mention during the game, too. First I had heard of that, too.

To be honest with you before I might have wanted that but this team playing as IS is not beating anyone in the first round barring a huge spark, they are lost and would be out in 5 or 6 at the moment.

Barry said same thing last night

[spurtech09]

So Tony has been dealing with a groin injury?....No wonder why he has been playing like poop

[Sigz]

"You gained a few pounds."

No no no...you're wrong. His PER, WAR, MOJ, PATTYWAK numbers are still high on the team.

[Leetonidas]

I was watching watching this earlier, I couldn't believe SAS was defending the Spurs. We are truly fucked now

[BatManu20]

Skip pooping all over the Spurs, dropping copious amounts of truth bombs.

Interesting... about making shots... there is obviously more glaring issues... but maybe spurs are just hitting a bad case of variance right now. They have had it so good for past 2 years... it was inevitable to hit a bad string of bad play/shooting.

Along with that, it seems like every team is shooting lights out against them. How many fluke shots have gone in against then this year?

[TheGoldStandard]

That groin injury must be from screwing a teammates wife/gf

When teams continuously hit "fluke" shots against them, it ceases to become a fluke and a problem with the perimeter d.

beat me to it, tbh.

It happened about this same time last year when Skip was bemoaning the fact that the Spurs had a good record but always lost to the good teams.

SAS told Skip that if it was any other team he might have reason to worry, but the Spurs had been there before and Skip was just acting like a baby. "The Spurs will be fine" said SAS.

Kinda deja vu if you ask me.

Yes there is a problem with the perimeter D. But I'm talking the swaggy P off a mad scramble type fluke shots.

A bunch of the guys have dropped 5% or so off last year's averages. That's at least 3-4 ppg, which as we know is a huge difference. I'm not sure if it's variance or crappy ball movement and less open shots though (more threes coming contested or at end of clock).

[HI-FI]

lol Agenda

Be more sssspecific Sssskip.

[Taking it to the Hole]

I know this season was not going to be a continuation of last year's playoff dominance when I saw just how horrible the ball movement and players moving without the ball had become. Players were not cutting hard, screens were not being set, and the ball was sticking. When I saw that, I immediately was filled with dread because that was the only way the Spurs were going to repeat and they have lost their way. Maybe there is no motivation to achieve a repeat because they redeemed themselves from the Miami debacle but they just don't look hungry this year. They seem satisfied and people can say it is because of injuries but that is just an excuse because the second unit last year was playing better than the starters in many games and we didn't see this kind of play. The chemistry has disappeared. It looks like everybody on the court are strangers to each other and it is just very disappointing to see them fall from such dominance. I know sustaining excellence is a difficult feat but if any team could do it, I truly believed the Spurs have the personnel and resolve to do it but now I just do not know?

The spurs this season reminds me of the 1999's New York knicks
