We're paying the price

[dg7md]

The price of never farming a "Bowen replacement", because Bowen's already done and we have nobody to fill that spot. How many people have went off on him all year? What has he done this year?

This season is collapsing, "it's just Janauary" isn't cutting it. We're losers. I can't believe how crappy this team is playing. The mental block of the Mavs thinking they can't beat us is over.

Spurs can't keep up with the new NBA.

Bowen guarded Howard today and did an awesome job. What are you babbling about?

[scott]

The price we are paying is the price of disrespecting the Little General.

[Melmart1]

Step away from the ledge.

Whatever happened to the "Dirk stopper"?

unfortunately now we need someone who can play defense and also put up 10-15 a night.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Hmmm....you are a pessimist like me but you're taking it too far. Spurs are not losers.

[dg7md]

They're losers this year. Six home losses in the first three months?!

Whatever happened to 3 home losses in our 05 year.

I love this team but I can be pissed at them and their effort. No way they can be this bad and have it just be a "slump".

[Man Mountain]

Did you watch the game? Bowen wasn't guarding Dirk except on rare occassions. That was Tim, Horry and Oberto.

[Dre_7]

SA is not "collapsing." What I saw in this game is the same thing I saw last year in the reg seasn and the playoffs. SA and DAL are two very even teams. It could have gone either way. This season series will be 2-2 (like I said before the season started) and will most likely be a 7 game playoff series. Please, step away from the ledge!

Now if SA had lost by 15, then yes it would be a sign of trouble, but they didnt. It was a close game, like its been the past what, 5 games?

[TDMVPDPOY]

pop should just stick to that big rotation instead of adjusting to the other teams smallball, smallball offense doesnt work for us.

we are known as interior defense and rebounding, well not for this season since pop fuckd up for the last 2 years.

As long as you have DUNCAN, you have a chance. Spurs played with lots of emotion. This should be a wake up call.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

This is why we need Maggette. If it becomes a free throw contest he can keep up. If we don't trade for him, White better all of a sudden develop Bowen's D and Tony's O.

[dg7md]

That's the thing though, our championship years, we closed out close games with a victory, now if it's a close game it's a loss on our record.

I find it embarrassing that they make so many mental mistakes against a team like the Mavericks, our rivals. EACH victory they have over us, the more it hurts us forever because now the Mavericks know the game 7 win was no fluke.

We have old players who are struggling, our main offensive option is like the 05 Sonics, which is a lot of three pointers and jumpers. Why can't Duncan dunk anymore? None of our players really seem to care out there most of the time it seems.

[Marcus Bryant]

The Spurs are paying the price for worrying about the lux tax.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

If only we can revert back to our 1999 year, where we only lost 13 games...

13 out of how many games?????? :lol :lol :lol Wasn't that the ********* Championship

peter holt needs to open up the check book.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

We have a winnah!

[Trifecta]

They get what they pay for (or not pay for).

Its not enough for Bowen to play good D -- they need some freakin offense from him!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yep, Pop getting caught up in Dallas small ball and losing again.

[dg7md]

Trade everybody but Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili. Okay, we can keep Elson and Oberto, too.

[dallaskd]

dirk was on fire tonight now one could have stopped him, when he plays like he did tonight the mavs are unbeatable by anyone

Why keep Elson or Oberto? If you want to overhaul the team, that would be a good place to start (and yes, I know Oberto had a good half today).

[Man Mountain]

Yeah but I guess the point is that the thread starter thought that Bowen was guarding Dirk and he wasn't (except on a couple possessions).

[Dre_7]

Yet they were almost beat.

[Amarelooms]

Yet they were almost beat.

Come on homer...only Dirk played well and they still won on the night of a back to back on the road. Not a good sign for the Spurs my friend. Mavs are the team to beat...not that you shouldn't have know that since theat are teh WC champs

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

13 out of how many games?????? :lol :lol :lol Wasn't that the ********* Championship
I was being sarcastic dumbshit.

[Bob Lanier]

Bowen isn't big enough to be a "Dirk-stopper" now that Dirk has developed a mid-post game.

[nobodi_home]

"Spurs can't keep up with the new NBA."

That's a ridiculous remark. Bullshit to that nonsense. What the hell, can't the guys lose a few games without everyone coming unglued?
