We all have our opinions of games SA should have won last season. Here are mine:
November 3 vs. Cleveland: A bullshit game by all means. We let LeBron go 14-for-26 from the field in that game for 35 points. It wasn't real. If he was really that good, he would have done that in the Finals. Any average NBA player (like LeBron) can get the hot hand from the field on any given night. He just happened to do it vs. the Spurs Consider this game a W.
November 15 vs. Charlotte: This game went into overtime, but I figure the Spurs didn't think the Bobcats were worth the effort. I agree. Elson, Udrih, Oberto, Bowen and Ginobili combined to shoot 6-for-35 from the field in this game. Just an off night for those guys. Charlotte just happened to be around when our guys had an off night. They only won by 3. And Adam Morrison goes 12-for-23 from the field? Bullshit. He never made 12 field goals again the rest of the season, check his stats. The high point of the season for Charlotte. Consider this a W.
November 24 vs. Dallas: Another cheap win by Dallas. It was a three point win, and I recall Finley getting fouled while attempting a 3 at the end of regulation and NO CALL was made. Typical referee behavior for a Dallas game, giving them all the fucking calls or no-calls. Assholes got tossed by GS in the playoffs, how do you like that? Another W.
December 10 @ Lakers: Kobe going 13-for-25 I can understand. But to let Lamar Odom go 6-for-12? Let Luke Walton go 7-for-15? Kwame Brown 5-for-8? An off night for the Spurs. W.
December 22 vs. Houston: Houston is a bullshit team. Even worse, Houston was without their so-called star Tracy McGrady for this game. We let a couple of no-names like Luther Head, Chuck Hayes, Bonzi Wells, Juwan Howard and John Lucas III to get 50% of their shots to go down. This game was lost more because the Spurs shot badly than Houston playing good. Finley, Elson, and Bowen shot a combined 1-for-14. Another off night and an easy W otherwise.
January 2 @ Cleveland: A 4-point game. This time it's Ginobili and Bowen combining to shoot 1-for-14. At least we quieted LeBron to 7-for-17, which is about what we're supposed to allow the average non-championship team NBA player to shoot on us. We shot 38% but they shot worse and still won. An easy W on an average night. They shot 4 more free throws than us, that's how they probably won.
January 3 @ Minnesota: Again, any team on any given night can pull out their little lucky W and then go home. An overtime game that wasn't worth the effort playing against a team like Minnesota. Two point game. The high point of the season for Minnesota. We can't have Mark Blount (who is he anyway? Never heard of the guy) shot 12-for-14 from the field. The Spurs (and I can understand why) got bored playing Minnesota.
January 5 vs. Dallas: We let Dirk shoot 14-for-23. We also missed a couple of shots here and there. 5-point game. SA was leading most of the way before getting bored with Dallas. We have nothing to prove against this Dallas team and I'm still not impressed by Dallas.
January 17 vs. Lakers: Some dude named Turiaf made a basket to put LA up by 5 to seal the game. I bet Turiaf had never touched a basketball in his life prior to that career-highlight shot for him.
January 24 vs. Houston: We let the mediocre McGrady go 14-for-24 from the field that night for 37 points. Yao was out, so he got to jack up all the shots he wanted. They just happened to go in. Another bullshit high point of the season for Houston victory.
January 31 @ Utah: This game was ours but stubborn Utah had to keep making their little shit shots. We let some guy named Mehmet Okur go 10-for-14 in this one?! Horry won this game for us realistically.
February 1 @ Phoenix: Phoenix ran away with it. Wasn't worth the effort against a little mickey mouse team like Phoenix.
February 9 @ Orlando: I've said enough about this one. A shit dunk that was the highlight of Dwight Howard's career. Howard is the most ineffective No. 1 draft pick in NBA history. He just happened to pull out his little playground basketball move on this night. A 2-point non-win for Orlando.
April 1 @ Indiana: Don't remember how we lost this game by 1 point, but it's Indiana.
April 15, 16, and 18: Spurs were riding their way to a 61-win season (and that's even after some bullshit losses), before Joey Crawford had to toss Duncan from the game for laughing from the bench. In a Dallas game. GEE WHAT A FUCKING SURPRISE. DALLAS GETTING A CALL IN THEIR FAVOR. The main guys rested for the 2 games after that Dallas game, which was really a Spurs win by the way.
So there you have it, losses that were bullshit and probably the high point of the season for those teams that happened to get the lucky win on those nights. I was tempted to throw in the November 29 loss at Utah, but I'll let that one slip. The two Milwaukee losses aren't worth the effort to talk about.
