[Johnny_Blaze_47]

No, I don't feel down about the Spurs in the eleventh month of the year unless any of the big three go down with season-ending injuries.

You guys will be fine. It was a good game friday but you will turn it around. The Spurs are for real and are gunning for the Mavs harder this year.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Finally a sensible statement from you. :)

[spurschick]

Seriously?! It's waaaayyyyy too early to be stepping out onto the ledge.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

wow, it must suck to be 10-3 :drunk

[jn77]

Your upset about the season now? :rolleyes The Spurs have looked goo so far, minus Cleveland and Charlotte. The game Friday was great! Hard Faught and I am looking forward to every Spurs/Mavs game to come down to the last posession! So come in from off the ledge my friend. Have a few drinks and watch the game tonight :toast It will be a good one. Don't throw in the towel yet, Matter of fact in November you shouldn't even have picked up the towel yet!

[Summers]

Seriously?! It's waaaayyyyy too early to be stepping out onto the ledge.

:lol And we're 10 and 3!

[dg7md]

I have a good feeling they'll start a 5-6 game win streak soon.

Hopefully they can continue dominating on the road, that is far more important than a solid home record, since, at this rate, home court throughout the playoffs seems to be taken by Utah, but they could fizzle out, but I really think they are going places and aren't just a team that doesn't deserve it.

The Spurs that can win on the road are the ones that will win the title.

[xamila rey]

wayyyyyyyyyyy to early to feel down,
i think we are a better team without Mohamed and Rasho;
and with Timmy w/o PF!

[beirmeistr]

There is no reason to be depressed. The Spurs have the best basketball player in the NBA and he is playing well with Oberto's game---much better than with Rasho or Mohammed. The only weakness i see is finding somebody that can guard Dirk. maybe Elson can fill that job.Once Manu and Finley hit their stride, watch out NBA.

[The Truth #6]

If you can't enjoy the up and down process of the regular season then I guess no, you shouldn't watch. Shit, this is as good as it gets. The Spurs are the most winning franchise in sports for the last few years. Enjoy all of it while they're still great. It won't last forever.

[Axl Van Dam]

:danceclub With a 10 - 3 record and with Tim putting up good numbers? Hell no. :convertib

its not every loss im :pctoss at the spurs its i just dont think we are good enough to be the mavericks but ya i know its to early ect,,,

Getting blown out in first half and losing 2 in a row to Mavs at ATT is special shit to deal with.

All of our L's at ATT is equally distasteful and weird.

The Spurs suck.

[rayray2k8]

For someone who puts "4 titles in 9 years" you outta think about changing it, if feel this down.

God forbid we lose a couple a home games. :rolleyes

As many posters already pointed it out: we are 10-3.

28 out of 30 teams (plus their respective fans) would like to be in the Spurs' shoes. But we find reasons to whine. Go figure.

[nkdlunch]

omg we are still the best team in the league up to now. I recommend you treat yourself for depression.

now Heat fans, those poor SOBS should kill themselves.

[theroc5]

when the hell did i right this???
wtf

[Mavs<Spurs]

I am extremely disappointed. Our lack of hustle, concentration, motivation, energy and defense in the first half is what most depressed me.
For me, a win against the Mavericks is worth two wins against lesser teams.
They are our big rival.
You really show your mettle against good teams, like the Mavericks.
Great records against sorry teams don't tell us much.
That's why a lot of us were unsure of just how good the Mavericks were despite the fact that they had won seven games in a row (all of those games were against teams with losing records). The beat one of the best teams in the NBA on that team's home floor.
It shows that we can forget about those first four losses. Obviously, the Mavericks are for real. And if we play any less than 100 % for 48 minutes, we are in grave danger of losing the ball game.

Up until the last game against the Mavs, I would have said that the Spurs look like the best team in the league. Now, the waters are muddied and it is no longer clear that this is the case. Perhaps this makes it so that the two teams are pretty equal since we won one on their home court, we have the better record, but they won the most recent game on our home court.

While Boutons exaggerates, a .500 record at home is not going to get it done, especially in the playoffs. In 05, we only lost 3 games during the regular season at home. Our homecourt was a tough place for a visiting team to come and get a win and that helped in the playoffs.

Manu is injured. It became crystal clear that Tim Duncan is our one true superstar who can perform in the clutch and no team has an answer for him. They must double and triple team him. Tony was almost adequate. Manu had a poor shooting night, but did hustle.

The good news is that (1) Tim Duncan is the best player in the league, (2) it is only November, (3) the Spurs have a perfect record on the road and (4) in the playoffs, we will be playing a series and I still have a hard time seeing any team in the NBA beat us 4 out of 7 times in May or June.

What are you, 12? Franchise best start not good enough?

We replaced half the team and are already playing flashes of great ball. It's November, we're 10-3, and we will get a lot better at home. Seriously, get a grip!

[ehz33satx]

i guess the roc is a pebble. you should be hard and not come across as being a soft little girl.

i figured it out, my friend was on my account but notthing matters, ill get him back...o well these gay pussie comments gona keep on comn..

[boutons_]

dumbfucks look at the overall record through rose-tinted glasses.

Above all, they don't look at lost games against top teams, or lost games against EC dreck at ATT.

[ehz33satx]

So, I guess you are serious.

Miami did have a horrible record last year against good teams.
They were okay at home, but not great.
Their overall record was less than impressive.

It is November. Tim looks great. We have a lot of work to do, but I am not quite as pessimistic as you.

Last year, we could not win a back to back to save our lives. This year looks different.

The one thing is that we need either Manu or Tony to play like an all star. If one of them will do that, we probably still win it all and Tim is the mvp of the finals again. So far, over all, neither play merits an all star place in my view.
Tony is closer to it than Manu even though I far prefer Manu's game to Tony's.
Except for last game, Manu recently had looked better than Tony.

wtf are you talkin about wow im so confused nvm

[SenorSpur]

I'm not down, but I'm concerned with the seemingly mental edge the Mavs have gained since last year. With every Mavs victory over the Spurs, they seem to become even more energized. Their confidence seems to build. Before coming into S.A on Friday, even the Mavs themselves weren't sure as to how good they were. Had they prevailed, the Spurs could have thrown a significant level of doubt into the minds of the current Mavs team and snapped their current 8-game winning streak in the process. Instead, this latest Mavs victory has done nothing but energize that team even more.

Because I reside in Dallas, I listen to all the quotes and comments from Mavs players and coaches. The respect level for the Spurs is certainly there, but make no mistake, the Mavs DO NOT FEAR the Spurs. There is always a reference to the monumental Game #7 victory in the WCSF versus the Spurs as the seminal moment in which where rivalry changed in their favor. (Thanks for the foul and 3-pt play, Manu). The Mavs are extremely comfortable playing in S.A. because they now KNOW they can win at the AT&T Center. And you know Avery is using these victories to build that sense of mental confidence.

I'm not down, but I am also concerned about inconsistent level of play demonstrated by the Spurs in this rivalry game. They talked all off-season about being angry and remembering what the Mavs did to them, yet the Mavs again seemed to get numerous scoring opportunities through offensive rebounds, fast break transition and were just quicker to loose balls than our Spurs. They allowed the Mavs to once again dictate game tempo and as a result found themselves again in an early deficit. There's simply NO EXCUSE for getting down into a 17-point hole against your chief rival - only to have to expend additional effort trying to dig themselves out. The defensive effort in that game was simply atrocious.

It's easy for the Spurs to beat up on the Grizzlies, Sonics and Bobcats of the world - oops the Spurs lost to the Cats. It's quite another to handle your business against your chief competition in the West.

No, I'm not down - I'm furious.

[Zunni]

Hello? Does anyone remember Tim's first 4-5 seasons when the Spurs seemingly reloaded with at least 2 new starters each year? They used to start like 18-14 or shit like that. I am basking in these fast starts with our consistent starting crew these last few years. Tim, Tony, Manu, and Bruce have been the core for 4 full seasons. All they have to do is plug in a pivot and some bench players.

The Spurs actually had a shitty March last year and still set the franchise record with a hobbled Tim tied behind their backs.

[ehz33satx]

wtf are you talkin about wow im so confused nvm

dude, own up to what you said in the first place instead of some lame excuse blaming it on your friend. you sounded like a wussie in the first place now you seem like an even bigger wussie. anyways, after this I dont care anymore. just if your going to be a Spurs fan, be a fan through thick and thin.

[Kori Ellis]

Do you still feel down?

[Obstructed_View]

Wow, this thread is almost too pathetic to laugh at. Almost.
