What a fucking joke this team is

[Walton Buys Off Me]

No heart, no hustle, no sense of urgency, worse yet- NO GO-TO-GUY.

When Fabricio Oberto is the only guy to care in a home game in April against your top divisional rival, you have insurmountable deficiencies.

Spurs won't make it past the first round- mark my words.

[Leetonidas]

:rolleyes

You can at least wait until the game is over. We still have a quarter of ball to play.

[Neuromancer]

I had a dream several nights ago that they lost in the first round to the Utah Jazz 4-2.

[Walton Buys Off Me]

This is the same team I saw get gang-banged on Wednesday night by the Kings on their own floor.

The Spurs of old would have responded with more of an effort tonight. I think any real champion would have. Bottom line, no matter how much certain people don't want to admit and keep saying "wait till the playoffs", we are not a championship team this year. We need to get younger and more athletic in the offseason and we need to assess whether or not Tim Duncan is a horse that should be shot (i.e.- can he be 100% again). Paying a guy 17 million a year to get 10 and 10 doesn't make much sense.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Spurs will come back and win this just wait.

[leemajors]

nazr fucking sucks ass.

[HB22inSA]

Walton hits the nail on the head...again.

[MannyIsGod]

I thought they played with a lot of heart and a lot of hustle tonight, but they simply got outplayed.

[Chris]

Kind of hard to win a game when you shoot 38% from the field. The defense was there tonight but the bounce wasn't. Plus Nowitzky (or however you spell it) goes off and Josh Howard plays the game of his life.

I still think we can beat any team in the NBA in a 7 game series regardless if Duncan is in top form.

You bailed on the team last year and last time I checked, they won the championship.

Is this a fuckin' race to be the first one to predict the demise of the Spurs? Keep this up and you'll win hands down.

Things aren't rosy on my end either. I'm worried about the back-to-back home losses. Supposedly SPAM is in effect.

[yavozerb]

Man, they are really showing there age down the stretch!!I keep hearing this team is built for the playoffs, unfortunatly they had to play 82 games first...

[Spurs16212]

I agree... Spurs played with no intensity tonight. But I will blame Pop and Tim on this tonight. How do you keep Parker in the game when Van Exel was as doing as well as he was. Pop benched him twice both times when he started heating up from the field. Tony clearly did not have it from the field tonight plus he was making some bad decisions when penetrating to the basket causing turnovers. Tim needs to man up and stop allowing himself to get pushed around. He was shoving 40 and 50 on the Mavericks a couple years back.

On a bright note, I am pleased to see Oberto play the way he did. I don't think we will lose the first round but if we are not careful we can lose to the Mavericks in the second round.

[MannyIsGod]

Its amazing how people equate not winning with not playing with intensity. I'll tell you this, and I'll put it in big black letters so that it will burn into your head:


If you don't play with intensity in a game like this, you lose by 20+.

[ALVAREZ6]

Spurs won't make it past the first round- mark my words.
:lol

I was pretty pissed until I saw this...


you're taking it too far.

[Leetonidas]

We lost. That's the bottom line. Intensity, heart, passion, whatever. Tim Duncan, who is my favorite player and who I whole heartedly believe is the greatest PF ever, just played like absolute crap, as did Tony. I'm tired of seeing these peformances by the Spurs, especially in our building.

I really want to believe in SPAM, but are we really peaking?

Go Spurs. When you guys play worth a shit, you're unstopable.

To bad you wait till the final score to make your topic.

[GrandeDavid]

Give Dallas their due credit. They are a different team this year, capable of playing lockdown defense and are loaded with streaky shooters. Tonight they hit big shots and played nice D. Shit happens. This is the NBA, its not like the Spurs played a rec team of amateurs. Again, shit happens. It sucks that the have lost two straight at home, but they still have the upper hand to win the division title and top seed.

I am, however, very concerned about how much Tim Duncan seemingly has to labor to get ANYTHING on either end of the court, often resorting to whining to officials as a bailout. Whatever ails him, I'm praying that a lottery will be hit and this will all turn out to be a gimmick and that come Game 1 of the first round, he'll smirk at Sacramento and tear them a new one. Doubtful, but he does have a track record and I guess there's always hope.

Tim Duncan is my favorite. Especially since he's a 10+ year veteran who travels in our last shot at coming back.




I don't blame him though, not at all. He didn't have much to do with this loss, it was Pop being an ass. Duncan has not been that great on offense this year, 1 vs 1 with the game on the line, let someone else take the shot.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

We just got outplayed . It was a close game to the final seconds, but too many turnovers and not enough shots falling did it for us. Tony and Tim had a lot of crucial turnovers when we were within 3 in the last 2 minutes. Dirk was just on fire but the Spurs were still in it. Mavs are a good matchup that's all.


There is nothing more pathetic than So-Called Fans, completely giving up on their team after EVERY SINGLE GAME changes their mind about them. You guys should go slit your wrists already , dumbasses.

[Leetonidas]

The Spurs as a whole didn't play that well. Tony didn't play well either. I don't blame Pop. He didn't force anyone on the Spurs to miss their shots.

[koopa]

ya'll are funny on this forum, we lose a game the world is coming to an end THEY might as well sale the franchise kinda shit, and when we win, WE rule the world blah blah blah kinda stuff. it's one game that means more to the mavs then it did us, sure we didn't play the with a lot of heart but we do that every year, ya'll are supposed spurs fans why ain't ya'll used to it already??

[Trifecta]

The fact that Detroit lost to Orlando proves anything can happen in an NBA game.

POPS not making the proper adjustments contributed to this loss as much as anything else.

[Spurs16212]

I will give Dallas their credit because they did their homework for todays game. They saw what Sacramento did as far as being physical with the Spurs. What I have a problem with is their level of play. They can clearly play more physical and show a higher level of play for the $$$ they are getting paid.

This was an opportunity for the Spurs to send a message to the Mavericks...

NVE' hand might have been warm, but TD's wasn't exactly "microwave."

[mookie2001]

van exel sucks though
he fucked up the offense and missed pretty easy shots
it wasnt worth 4 3s
beno could have made 3 and had like 6 asst

Venting and giving up on your team are two different things asshat!

[TDfan2007]

Ya everyone but Tim did. I was actually pleased with the effort for the most part. It's ironic because usually the Spurs win but lollygag around for periods of the game, but tonight they lost while giving a good effort for the majority of the game.

[1Parker1]

All this game proved was that the Spurs have a long ways to go if they want to repeat. Nothing more and nothing less.

Honestly, if you look at the team on paper, 100% healthy, you'd be crazy to think that anyone could beat them in the playoffs. They have every aspect of the game covered: A play-making and scoring PG, a big man in the middle, a defensive stopper, an X-Factor, and 3 point shooters and veterans off the bench.

Pistons may have the best starting 5 in the NBA, but the Spurs have the best all around team in the NBA. Problem is, this season, due to injuries and various other things, it doesn't seem like they've all clicked at the same time and brought it together at once. If every player does his thing, Spurs would be unbeatable.

so basically you agree that the spurs repeating this year with everything factored in is less than likely

great cleavage and homerism, but if they don't play like the best, they aren't the best.

Umm, great selective reading genius. Did you not read the rest of the post where I said that on paper they have the best team, and if they're firing on all cylinders yes they can beat any team in the league, including Detroit. Their problem is that they haven't come together with everyone playing well consistently.

It's not homerism. I didn't say they would win a championship this season. Obviously they have a long ways to go. :rolleyes

Okay then, you've made your call.

I don't want to see you celebrating any Spurs victories from the 2nd round through the Finals.

No worries, Walton is on cue with his post. He did it last year and we won. Now let me go get TPark and see if he is ready to quit on the team sowe can be on our way to a new ring.

Maybe that's why the Mavs have never won a championship if that is their mentality.

Oh well it's just a regular season game, so fuck it.

Personally, I would be thankful our team even has the opportunity to repeat. The playoffs have not even started yet and everyone is already acting doomed. Look at the Suns-they are missing Amare, a guy who had a breakout season. They would most likely be serious contenders, but now they are not because he will most likely not play. At least Tim's playing, at least Manu's playing, at least we have everyone playing. I can't see how you say that when we have already won three championships. SPOILED MOFO. :flipoff

I honestly looked at your post and didnt say anything just because they werent really worth responding to, but seriously shut the fuck up. Do you do this every year? Give up on the team and say some stupid shit, only to retract your statement a month later when something goes their way. You are seriously the biggest bandwagoner here man and I wish they would block your ass from posting.

As I said, Walton does this every year. He is a walking contradiction. The funny thing is that when we win the ring, he'll be celebrating with the rest of us.

I still think we can beat any team in the NBA in a 7 game series regardless if Duncan is in top form.

Josh Howard did not play the game of his life. He can play like this all the time when he's healthy...and he does. Anyway, the Spurs didn't necessarily suck ass last night, the two former Mavs scored 7-8 for three which was awesome. Right now I still think the Pistons are the team to beat but trashing your own team is pathetic, especially when they are a very good team. Sure the Spurs need some youth but you've been following them all year and now they lose two games in a row and you're ready to throw them to the curb and ridicule them? What a fan!

BTW, my Josh Howard comment was for the op above, the rest of this is for the guy who made this thread.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Uhm. We are doomed buddy. Have you seen Duncan lately? Right now I'd rather have Lisa Leslie out there in place of him.

[LEONARD]

These threads are rediculous...


Josh Howard plays the game of his life.


Huh??? 1st Mavs game you've seen in a couple years??

Before Howard got hurt this season, he was consistantly scoring over 20 ppg. The Mavs are 21-0 or something like that when he gets 20. He's avg'ing 15.5 pts and 6.5 rebs. Last night was hardly the "game of his life"...
