Spurs lose and its MB that is grovelling. Why? Lack of a physical frontcourt, something MB, timvp, and a few others pointed out as a significant problem which the Spurs didn't address with any personnel changes this summer. Pop did manage to reinsert Malik Rose in the rotation which was a good development but frankly this team needs more than that. (As an aside Malik was the man tonight no matter the outcome. It's frankly good to see someone who has some pride show up in the frontcourt and give TD some help up front. F'in warrior.) All Seattle did all night long was involve TD's man in high screen rolls and that left the interior wide open. On the offensive end the Spurs failed to start the force feeding of the ball to Duncan in the post early enough in the game. I do enjoy the motion O but sometimes boring old Duncan in the post is the most effective, no matter how few highlights it produces.
As for Barry he is really sucking it up this season and I admit that I thought he was a decent signing (though I wanted Jack, but that's another thread).
Oh well, I'll calm my newfound Spurs fan loss night hysteria with a potent nightcap and sleep it off.
