Spurs vs. Heat -- Game Blog

[Trainwreck2100]

Excuse me while I go puke.

What happend to the days when the Spurs led the NBA in point differential bgecause they blew everyone the fuck out? :(


Pop bitched about Opp%

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

They should give Manu the green light to attack the rim when he sees fit at least.

[ro_50]

It was funny what Wade said about Dirk.

[George Gervin's Afro]

does this game have a familiar theme to it? or is it just me?

[Trainwreck2100]

I love promoting basketballs connection with hip hop while to of the endorsees being french and canadian.

[SAtown]

seriously, who gives a shit about what dirk and cuban say about wade

[Marcus Bryant]

Barry with the uber soft touch. ugh.

[hitmanyr2k]

Classy move by Wade not responding to the idiot that is Mark Cuban :lol

[trueD]

All the noise about Wade's smack talk against Dirk is boring me.

[DubMcDub]

seriously, who gives a shit about what dirk and cuban say about wade

I'd imagine most NBA fans would find it pretty interesting. People love drama.

[MannyIsGod]

Damn, is Tim awake?

[trueD]

Classy move by Wade not responding to the idiot that is Mark Cuban :lol
True, quite true.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

This game's about to get chippy.

[exstatic]

Mourning riding Duncan like Seabiscuit and doesn't understand that it's a foul. :lol

[resistanze]

Wade is having a love spat with the refs.

[trueD]

Heat in trouble, they'll be in the penalty in about 46 seconds.

[01Snake]

Can we score?

[mavsfan1000]

I wish Dallas got the calls San Antonio is getting right now.

[hitmanyr2k]

Zo is eating Duncan's lunch on both ends right now. Zo is far more active and quick. Isn't he supposed to be old?

[MannyIsGod]

You know, if the Spurs don't pull this game out I could see them being very very very demoralized. Fuck.

[lefty]

4th team foul; time for Manu and TP to attack the rim

[01Snake]

Heat in trouble, they'll be in the penalty in about 46 seconds.

With our FT shooting, probably not.

[Tippecanoe]

keep your fucking mouth shut horry

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Horry gets T'd up for the same thing Wade got away with on the other end

[trueD]

Hubie, you're frigging CRAZY? Have you watched any other games...guys are in refs faces all over the league.

[DubMcDub]

The wily veteran Robert Horry with the clutch T :lol

[bulletedge]

Can we score?

Sure the Spurs can score...they have the most dominant player in the game in Duncan. They'll come back and win it.

[trueD]

Was it 46 seconds? CLOSE!!! ::pats self on back::

[Marcus Bryant]

Crowd doesn't understand why bumping Tony out is a foul.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Nice. Pop should keep sending Manu and Tony to attack to get to the line.

[Marcus Bryant]

Jason Kapono has fans?

[boutons_]

Spurs trying to find some aggression, -7 pts going into crunch time.

[MannyIsGod]

Horry has forgotten more about being clutch than the entire city of Dallas has ever known.

[trueD]

With our FT shooting, probably not.
Plus, you've only taken 10 shots. Something wrong with that picture.

[exstatic]

Damn, is Tim awake?
Tim is in his FT shell. When he sucks at the line, he goes passive.

[Trainwreck2100]

Time to trade Fts

[trueD]

Is Oberto fouled out yet?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

we're definitely gonna need a remedy to Wade's 20 FT's coming up.

[SAtown]

4th team foul; time for Manu and TP to attack the rim

good call. getting points with the clock stopped in this situation is crucial. If only we can make all the FTs though.

[bulletedge]

BS late whistle bails Wade out

[hitmanyr2k]

I can't stand the late whistle AFTER the guy clearly misses the shot. If it's a fuckin foul just blow the damn whistle. Don't wait to bail him out.

[Extra Stout]

Sure the Spurs can score...they have the most dominant player in the game in Duncan. They'll come back and win it.
Duncan is worn out from house-hunting yesterday.

[Leetonidas]

Oh no, the Dwayne Wade free throw fest is beginning.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Yay getting to watch d-wade shoot free throws all quarter! Despite that D-wade is the truth!

[trueD]

Ginooooobbbbbbbbbbbbili hits ft's for 2

[DubMcDub]

Oh no, the Dwayne Wade free throw fest is beginning.

Gets old quick huh?

[MannyIsGod]

Fucking Walker? UGH

[ShoogarBear]

WTF, Horry, what was that weak flop?

[mavsfan1000]

That Horry flop didn't work. Looks like Horry is the best player for the other team. :lol

[SAtown]

Fuck, Parker

[resistanze]

LMAO @ Parker!

[MannyIsGod]

Wade seriously just owned Parker.

[Spurminator]

Wow. That's some ownage...

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

You gotta love those plays by D-Wade if you're a basketball fan.

[lefty]

What was Parker thinking??????

[Trainwreck2100]

At least they weren't able to convert either of those blocks

[hitmanyr2k]

Yay getting to watch d-wade shoot free throws all quarter! Despite that D-wade is the truth!

Wade is a phenomenal player and really doesn't need free throws to kill a team. At the same time he doesn't need to be getting the bail out calls.

And DAMN @ the defense of Wade. No one has ever killed Parker like that two times in a row :lol

[Leetonidas]

Wade gets two nice blocks and then fucks it up. Dumbass.

[P-O-Z]

dawg get that shit outta here

[boutons_]

Wade taking over on both ends

[Don Quixote]

Here it comes ... Heat about to pull away. Like the Suns game.

[DubMcDub]

Nice board by Horry.

[MannyIsGod]

Gets old quick huh?We're used to it. We play the Mavs several times a year and Dirk gets the same treatment.

[lefty]

Well the 1st block was obvious; TP should have passed the ball to the open man

[lefty]

Game over

[MannyIsGod]

Yay for Tim on the bench with under 6. Bes ttime to rest Tim.

[SAtown]

another downward spiral

[ShoogarBear]

That was some sad defense on Walker.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I would like Manu to kick Walker in the balls now.

[mavsfan1000]

Clutch Walker. :lol

[trueD]

Antoine, what else could he do? That shot was his second choice...no one moving.

[boutons_]

Spurs gonna get beat by Walker?

[Leetonidas]

Game over
I thought you left the forum?

[MannyIsGod]

Maybe Pop can rest Tony and Manu right now too.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

I really hope Horry's washed up ass guards Dirk come playoff time!!! :hungry: :hungry:

[bulletedge]

Duncan needs to be in the game! WTF is Pop thinking?

[ShoogarBear]

We're used to it. We play the Mavs several times a year and Dirk gets the same treatment.Wade actually drives to the basket for his.

[trueD]

Game overAre you kidding? There's still more advertisement to sell. :)

Seriously, get outta town.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Game over

When did the calendar move to April 2?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

yeah, heh Wade is doing his thing.

[SAtown]

I still can't believe the Mavs let Walker get a ring.

[lefty]

When did the calendar move to April 2?
:lol :lol :lol

[MannyIsGod]

The sad thing is this isn't the same team that has been here for the other road trip games. This is a team that is feeling sorry for themselves.

I thought the Spurs had gotten passed that, but today they look like they've regressed.

[01Snake]

Cold as ice

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Are you kidding? There's still more advertisement to sell. :)

Seriously, get outta town.
Yeah. I hate comments like that. It's fucking Basketball. :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Maybe Pop can rest Tony and Manu right now too.A Vaughn-Beno-Oberto-Finley-Horry lineup would pretty much fill the bill.

[lefty]

I thought you left the forum?
?????

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Manu will take over and Spurs will win by 2 :smokin

[mikejones99]

Fuck Dallas, It is not a big deal to struggle against champs at home, calm down

[SAtown]

fuck this rodeo road trip. We got a back to back this week, and i gotta feeling it's not going to be pretty in Detroit or NJ.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

:lol :lol :lol

I wasn't joking. It must be April 2 if you're here...where the fuck is my March?

[Trainwreck2100]

I still can't believe the Mavs let Walker get a ring.

[trueD]

Why would Spurs feel sorry for themselves? Tied for 3rd in the league, and everything. I know, this coming from a Kings fan, but wtf?

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

5-25 seems like it happens every other game nowadays

[DubMcDub]

Wade actually drives to the basket for his.

:sleep :sleep :sleep

[MannyIsGod]

Going to be hard to come back against a Heat team that is playing its best offense of the day.

[boutons_]

getting fouled is great, hitting 50% FTs sucks

[mjnxn]

Thanks pop for picking up eddie jones. looks like hie's turning miami around.

[01Snake]

Way to hit those FT's!

[Trainwreck2100]

Why would Spurs feel sorry for themselves? Tied for 3rd in the league, and everything. I know, this coming from a Kings fan, but wtf?

cause they suck ass

[MannyIsGod]

:sleep :sleep :sleepPoor Mavs' fans. So victimized by the refs and Stern.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Parker shouldn't try to challenge Wade.

[George Gervin's Afro]

I was one of those folks who said Eddy Jones could have helped us.

[hitmanyr2k]

Fuck D-Wade and his free throw line theatrics.

In case you haven't noticed Wade has 4 FGs in the quarter. He's only been to the foul line once in the 4th. He's killing the Spurs on both ends right now and it really has nothing to do with getting calls.

Ummmm....5 FGs and counting....treating Bowen like a rental car.

[trueD]

Holy Shit Dwyane Wade

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN FTs

[mjnxn]

Hard for tim to make shots when he's benched the whole fourth.

[boutons_]

GAMEOVER, Wade goes off. Spurs 5 of 26 FGs

[MannyIsGod]

This team has mailed it in today. Look at their body language.

[P-O-Z]

Fuck D-Wade and his free throw line theatrics.
he hasnt hit a lot of free throws dumbass they are jumpshots

[Tek_XX]

Letting the opposing team slowly pull away is not Spurs basketball.

[SpursFanFirst]

:depressed

[George Gervin's Afro]

what? another 4th qtr collapse?

[ShoogarBear]

Fuckin-A Hubie, the Spurs almost never send cutters. Standing around the three-point line is what they do, unfortunately.

[icem]

wade is owning the spurs in the 4th...

[Marcus Bryant]

I hope Peter is enjoying this.

[baseline bum]

Damn... Wade hitting shots against us in the fourth like we were Dallas or something. :(

Spurs Basketball is dead. Fuck this smallball madness.

[01Snake]

Woohoo! Another 4th quarter collapse.

[trueD]

Antoine is a has been, otherwise he would have had someone on him.

[Que Gee]

Barry 4-7 and 3-6 from the 3pt line...Finley 1-7 from the field.

Who is in right now as the Spurs struggle to score points?...Finley.

[TheMulvany]

Tomorrow will be a demonstration of how a championship caliber team is supposed to play against the eastern conference Miami Heat. Dallas Mavs, take note, you'll learn a lot.

LOL! Yeah, the Mavs learned a lot today. The Spurs aren't contenders.

[MannyIsGod]

Spurs fans who rag on DWade are just as bad as Cuban and Mavs fans. Wade is sick and an incredible player.

[ShoogarBear]

Did Tirico just call Antoine Walker a good shooter?

What a complete tool.

[td4mvp21]

Wow we suck bad.

[Spurs Brazil]

Trade In 2 Weeks Or The Season Is Over

57 year old Eddie Jones with the layup.

Letting the opposing team slowly pull away is not Spurs basketball.

True ; and during 2 days, Espn and NBA TV will be like :" Wade's greatness", or "the heart of a champion", etc....
Yeah Wade is great, but we do suck in the 4th

[Trainwreck2100]

Letting the opposing team slowly pull away is not Spurs basketball.

this year it is

When the Heat finally miss we can't get a reb

Man, I'm really dissapointed. In every game on the road trip prior to today, I thought the Spurs had taken steps forward. There is nothing to be gained from the game today. I think they just mailed it in.

[Fabbs]

nice travel by Eddie Jones.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I think that Laker game on National T.V. was A FLUKE!!!

we just can't execute down the stretch on "big" "statement" games like these.

[1Parker1]

I. Fucking. Hate. Antoine. Walker. With. The. Passion. Of. A. Thousand. Gods.

:tu I hate him so much, that I found myself wishing that Robert Horry or someone would just give him a hard flagarant foul where he'd sprained his ankle or something. I can't believe I'm wishing injury on an opposing player.

[boutons_]

The soft card doesn't work this year, nothing does. Spurs just suck.

[anonymous coward]

just look at bowen stats

[mavsfan1000]

I think Mark Cuban ignited the fire in Wade to excel. I'm going to have to call Mark out this. You don't want to piss Wade off. Wade is going to dominate the rest of the year.

Exactly. Crptkeeper Howie talking about how Spurs have no post game when Duncan on the bench. BooHoo! Heat had Shaq on the bench the whole time.

[Spurs Brazil]

Another pathetic rebounding game

We can easily loss in the 1st round this season

[dbestpro]

These games are nothing more than the reasons for Pop to change his mind about his players. The Spurs can't jump and can't move laterally. When will Pop finally admit that the players he uses are just not physically skilled enough anymore?

[pussyface]

I think I can pretty much sumerize the last few pages of this thread in one sylabul:
"whaaa!"

[sa_butta]

Wade had 1 point in the first half. What happened to the D? Spurs are so unpredictable this year. You never know which team is going to show up.

[hitmanyr2k]

When Wade rises for his shot Bowen may as well not even be there :lol

Gawd i hope this isn't the case. I would hate for the Spurs to think that losing is just part of the game.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

There is nothing positive to take away from this game and somebody's ass better pay the price for this performance today (and this season).

Rebounds and missed FTs are the reason the Spurs will lose this game. No other reasons.

Ya think? I mean, you almost had to see it that Wade was going to light up the Spurs in the 4th. That was almost guaranteed. But I'm so f-ing tired of seeing the same god damn play every single game for the Spurs.

1) 4down to Duncan, everyone else stands and watches

2) Parker running into the lane and scoring or passing to an open shooter who misses.

3) Ginobili coming off the bench and scoring 3 pointers.

That's it, no one else does shit on this team. More so, their defense is horrendous.

Duncan played this game way too softly. But he had no help in the middle.

[MannyIsGod]

Could this season completely unravel? Are the Spurs capable of total season collapse ala the Twolves in years past?

[trueD]

fucking best sig ever. :lolNo shit...

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I wish 'Toine would have hit that just to make this game even worse.

[dbestpro]

I think I can pretty much sumerize the last few pages of this thread in one sylabul:

whaaa? Isn't that the sound of never winning a championship

[J.T.]

Spurs cannot buy a rebound to save their lives.
The Bruce Bown Corner 3G is dead.
We now get dominated by players like Antoine Walker and Eddie Jones.
To No. 5 - Where is Robert Horry and what have you done with him?
Spurs seem to think they only need to show up in the first half.
Is anyone keeping score on how many double-digit leads we have blown this year?

Just some things to think about.

[flame]

All I have to say is: yikes!

Since I have been back in town the spurs have been looking absolutely terrible. This is when the team is supposed to "gel" Instead we're falling apart at the seams when we need it most.

But seriuosly - what is so different about this team? We have most of our key players (minus a devin brown or a stephen jackson). Whats that elusive extra piece to complete the puzzle?

[ShoogarBear]

why the fuck do u come into this forum then? we're so much "lower" than ur mavericks that we shouldnt even be given a second thought. its like a suns fan going into a sonics forum and banging on them. get a life and stop worrying about the spurs as if you had to anymore, right?...

somethings gotta be done now. im tired of hearing its gonna happen in may crap. come on ppl.

[td4mvp21]

How bad this team is this year compared to last year is amazing. Just amazing.

[bulletedge]

The regular season is meaningless. Spurs will be there come playoff time.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

No team with Duncan, Parker and Ginobili will go down in the first round

Except the 2006-07 version if nothing changes.

[1Parker1]

But seriuosly - what is so different about this team? We have most of our key players (minus a devin brown or a stephen jackson).

The other top teams have gotten way better, while the Spurs got older and worse defensive players: See Elson/Oberto/Horry/Barry/Finley/Beno.

[pussyface]

I would expect little more from a team that is the third best in its own (excellent) division.
It is not yr birthright to beat the defending champ on the road.

[sa_butta]

8-24 from 3 pt. doesnt help either. I cant believe we put up 24 3's. I could see if we were making them, but damn stop shooting the fucker and take it in.

He only attempted 4 shots in the first half. You knew he was just waiting for the 4th to kill everyone.Is he using the same theory as Kobe (ahead of the curve) and trying to get his teammates involved early? At least Dwyane can step up. We'll see how Kobe does in just minutes, if anyone is interested.

Sorry for the loss Spurs fans, really sucks. Trust me, I know. :)

Stupid observation: Tim Duncan is such a low-key dude and therefore doesn't really offer ability to "energize" his team unless he is powering down low.

There must be another personality on the team who is capable.

No, the Spurs have titles RECENTLY lol. Until the Mavs win a title they will be ridiculed...bottom line. And blowing that 2-0 lead in the Finals after pretty much having Game 3 in hand just adds more salt to the wound.

[ALVAREZ6]

Wade is the next MJ.

[Josepatches]

With the "greatness" Wade the Miami Heat are only 8th in the East.Where he was Friday night against the Cavs?
We didn't loss by Wade.We lost by Pop

[1Parker1]

Could this season completely unravel? Are the Spurs capable of total season collapse ala the Twolves in years past?

It's not even about unraveling, this team that they have is just not good. Period. Outside our Big 3, we have ZERO offense. Outside of defense by Parker/Manu/Duncan/Bowen we have no one.

More so, tonight the Spurs just look so out of sync. Our big 3 do the scoring, everyone else stands around and watches. Duncan grabs a rebound/blocks a shot/defends the paint, Oberto/Elson stand around and watch.

[sa_butta]

"8-24 from 3 pt"

Spurs have become a team the wins or loses with 3Gs.live by the 3, die by the 3. do you think Pop just gives the green light to Finley, Horry, Barry and Gino to shoot open 3's?

[Amarelooms]

Will Spurs fans support the Mavs now once the Spurs get knocked out in the 2nd round. The Mavs will bring the title back to Texas. Don't hate my friends....congratulate and appreciate.

[TheMulvany]

More wisdom from the herMavrodites.

I don't even need to mess with the Spurs name. It's the worst name for a team and just shows what kind of hillbillies you are in San Antonio. Might as well call them the "Cattle Rapers."

[anonymous coward]

the age/lack of energy , is one of the negative factors for spurs, they doesnt have enough legs to get better, instead they will get worser.

[sa_butta]

Just another 2nd half collapse by the Spurs.

[flame]

The other top teams have gotten way better, while the Spurs got older and worse defensive players: See Elson/Oberto/Horry/Barry/Finley/Beno.


Good point - when you list out the end of the bench it looks VERY dismal defensively. Defense wins championships and we ain't got shit.

As for age - our guys aren't old by any means (at least...key players wise) but yes our vaughn/finley/horry combo gets tired just getting up to go use the bathroom.

Maybe they'll come to play in the playoffs. Hopefully?

the age/lack of energy , is one of the negative factors for spurs, they doesnt have enough legs to get better, instead they will get worser.

Worser?

[SAtown]

Hahahahah another loser living in the past. I knew you'd all start in on that.

The Celtics have 10x the titles that the Spurs have, so the Celtics own you by your own lame logic.

And by the way, DALLAS has a lot more rings than you do. Where are your Super Bowl titles? That's right. You don't even have a team. Get your own team and get off the Cowboys' bandwagon. No one said you could jump on.

Cowboys and Stars have nothing to do with the Mavs not having any rings, so stfu.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Wade's game is great. His shot selection is great. It's all within the flow.

[Marcus Bryant]

I don't even need to mess with the Spurs name. It's the worst name for a team and just shows what kind of hillbillies you are in San Antonio. Might as well call them the "Cattle Rapers."


"Hillbillies"? DFW has that market cornered.

[MannyIsGod]

The Spurs are 10-10 in 07.

This team is a .500 team. I think there is a possibility that they play .500 ball for the rest of the year (although I don't think it is probable, it is possible).

If that happens, they'll finish with 49 wins. When was the last time a Spurs team didn't reach 50 wins? Not only that, but that might be bad enough to drop them all the way to the 6th seed in the West.

[ShoogarBear]

Mav Fan showing once again he takes his lead in everything from Mark Cuban.

[ShoogarBear]

When was the last time a Spurs team didn't reach 50 wins? 1999.

:p:

ESPN News is showing highlights and may go to press conference

[Tek_XX]

The classic 'past doesn't matter' and 'some other team...' two-fer.




Now the 'hey, in another sport....'

Why are Mavs fans this stupid?

yes they are.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Our shooters are just too damn inconsistent. That's the problem This is besides our centers the SAME TEAM AS LAST YEAR. But inferior.

At least last year our offense wasn't the main problem, Just rebounding. now it's rebounding, AND not making our 3's, bench points.

Stupid old farts. They're all playing like Regular Season Horry's!

and even Horry is suspect now. He hits iron all the time.

Who gives a shit about teams that played 20, 30 years ago? The Spurs of now have three rings, and the Mavs of now have zero. Leave it to a Mavfan to ignore the issue at hand and find some other way to dog on the Spurs. Regular season records don't matter. The Spurs could finish this season under .500 and we'd still have our rings to your none while we watch the Mavs choke out of the playoffs again.

[fred33]

It's not even about unraveling, this team that they have is just not good. Period. Outside our Big 3, we have ZERO offense. Outside of defense by Parker/Manu/Duncan/Bowen we have no one.

More so, tonight the Spurs just look so out of sync. Our big 3 do the scoring, everyone else stands around and watches. Duncan grabs a rebound/blocks a shot/defends the paint, Oberto/Elson stand around and watch.
yeah so true and duncan can(t make a dunk he has great pass by parker and he lose the ball

[1Parker1]

BTW, That Daniel Gibson (on the Cavs) would be an awesome backup PG for the Spurs. He's from Texas too. Why didn't the Spurs look at him? Oh yea, because they were too busy looking at foreign players who they never bring over. :tu

[lefty]

With the "greatness" Wade the Miami Heat are only 8th in the East.Where he was Friday night against the Cavs?
We didn't loss by Wade.We lost by Pop


:clap :clap

whatt about bowen?, 36 minutes of nothing.

San Antonio is known as a multicultural mecca while Dallas is well known for its overtly redneck racist attitude. So, I was wrong to call you a herMavrodite. You are a racist herMavrodite.

[1Parker1]

:lmao Sidenote: Today was Jacque Vaughn's Birthday....please someone tell me that was a typo by ABC when they stated it was his 37TH BIRTHDAY??? :oops

Surely the Spurs haven't stooped so low that they are using an almost 40 year old as a backup PG??

[Trifecta]

8-24 from 3 pt. doesnt help either. I cant believe we put up 24 3's. I could see if we were making them, but damn stop shooting the fucker and take it in.


I agree with your point!

Problem: In the half court, nobody outside of Ginobili can create off of the dribble!!!

Here's the half court set: Throw to TD, and then stand on the perimeter and watch Duncan make his semi jump hook move!

Bowen is absolutely useless wheh he cannot even contribute in defense!!!

[DubMcDub]

What in the HELL are you talking about? :lol :lol :lol

[1Parker1]

His defense was fine, I knew he wouldn't be able to stop Wade in the 4th, you knew that was coming.

I do get really pissed with Bowen's offense lately. He's scared to shoot and you can see it. He's passing wide open 3 pointers to drive and dish bad passes.

[trueD]

Saw that...and if the Spurs were in the weakass East they would be #1 with little threat from #2 (it's the Wiz).

i think earlier in the broadcast they said he was 30 today

It's because last year's pick was given up for a year's rental of Mohammed. What a great fucking trade.

so ur saying wade was not the reason we won

[Kent_in_Atlanta]

I just can't watch this anymore. I don't consider myself a fair-weather fan. I just don't like to see my team lose... which is exactly what's happening every time they play a top-tier team. I can't continue to emotionally invest myself in this. I don't like feeling half-depressed after every "big" game. Wake me up when they start playing (if they do).

I'd take Alvin Robertson right now if he could stop beating his wife long enough to get out of the Bexar County jail.

[1Parker1]

BTW, I'm not even sure a trade will help this team at this point. Maggette may help the Spurs offensively a bit, but he's not the greatest defender. And no one else good is available that the Spurs can get.


They need to consider seriously rebuilding around our Big 3 next season.
