***Official: are you concerned yet?**

[atxrocker]

Be honest.

[sabar]

If only we had Beno

[WildcardManu]

until we're in a hole we can't dig ourselves out of, no reason to panic

[DespЏrado]

I like the Hornet's and they deserve all the credit in the world, but I really don't think the Spurs realized that there was a game tonight.

[BiZNicK]

this isnt the first time the spurs have gotten blown out, I'm not concerned.

[Loose Cannon]

Not in the slightest.

[Loose Cannon]

Is Roger Federer concerned when his opponent holds his serve in the first game of the first set of a tennis match?

[INS]

Loose Cannon, do you still think the Hornets won't make the playoffs?

[Loose Cannon]

INS, has anyone in Louisiana learned how to work a fire extinguisher, or did anyone with an IQ over 60 move to Texas after the storm?

[pawe]

Not in the slightest.


That sig is unnecessary and is badly photoshopped so take it off

[INS]

Our fire extinguisher worked just fine. It put out the fire didn't it? I see what joke you went for, but it failed.

[Loose Cannon]

Our fire extinguisher worked just fine. It put out the fire didn't it? I see what joke you went for, but it failed.

Much like the levee and 17th street canal

[INS]

So whenever your attempt to be funny fails, you turn to an equally unfunny, worn out Katrina joke?

[atxrocker]

you stay classy, spur fan. :rolleyes

[Loose Cannon]

Both were funny though.

[INS]

The first joke about the fire extinguisher was horrible because it actually put out the fire, the 2nd wasn't original at all. I'd say you're doing a shitty job.

[Kori Ellis]

Both were funny though.

Not funny at all.
Turn off your computer for the night.

[Loose Cannon]

The first joke about the fire extinguisher was horrible because it actually put out the fire, the 2nd wasn't original at all. I'd say you're doing a shitty job.

You're right. The plan worked to perfection. They meant for the first two fire extinguishers to fail, and have to have a random dude run out with a third one to finally put it out. They drew it up like that.

[Shaolin-Style]

Losing a home game=concern

Losing on the road at the beginning of the series=normal

[INS]

I think for a fire extinguisher to fail, the building would likely catch on fire.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

I just came back from a heavy drinking night and other activities

Checked the boxscore (left home before game started).

Spurs will pwn noob NO Homeless

Sod off, troll wankers from the Suns, Mavs, Fakers and so on...

Spurs in 6

Adios. :hat:toast:drunk:smokin

Damn, short reply, took like a lot of time and edits to get it done.

Almost like the Kings...except they've never got it done.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Oh, and go fuck yourself, fan of a team where a 6'3'' giant pussy is considered important. :drunk:drunk

[m33p0]

what the hell? losing game 1 on the road is supposed to make me piss in my pants?

playing as poorly as the spurs were, they were only down 7 with only 5 minutes left to go.

[whottt]

I was always concerned about the Hornets(and Suns, Lakers and Celtics)...but at the same time, these guys aren't unbeatable, not by any stretch.

They've got basically 2 dominant players...the Spurs have 3, and the more versatile and experienced bench...

[pawe]

Once again, TD's 5 pt rarity will never happen in a playoff game again. Oh and yeah, fuck that lazy overweight Spurs killer Bonzi Wells!

[GrandeDavid]

No, I'm more concerned with the 16 mile training run I'm about to do for the upcoming Rio de Janeiro International Marathon in June. Then I'm concerned about more real world issues like a commodities deal I'm hoping to close tomorrow.

As for the Spurs, its basketball and entertainment and the world keeps spinning. I hope they win game 2 and beyond, but I don't get paid to do more than hope. I certainly don't get paid to be concerned about something that won't affect my life in any way whatsoever.

Having said all that, Go Spurs!

[nikegirl]

Honestly, I am. Well I actually am a sissy when it comes to this kind of thing. Like I actually choose to underestimate the Spurs feeling that it actually helps them out and I love being proven wrong by them.

But these Hornets are a different animal. The Spurs better play consistent Spurs ball if they want to win this series. I am concerned that the team has not addressed what has been needed to be addressed from the regular season.

[Fabbs]

Pop getting worked by Byron Scott is shades of 2006 Avery all over again.
I'm still confident the players can overcome old Coatails but yes, it's a concern.

[MrChug]

Hahahaha...whoever's concerned deserves the coronary they're having.

[manufor3]

not at all

[Avitus1]

yawn

[shelshor]

nope

[SPARKY]

I guess I'd be concerned if I was a coke snorting Kings fan.

[E20]

No. Tim played horrible, West played out of his mind, and were still in it @ NO for most of the game, I'm not worried, I expect Duncan to play great on Game 2. Spurs will win next game.

[Biggems]

considering it was an 8 pt game late in the 4th quarter....Duncan played like Kwame Brown, the Spurs couldn't buy a shot in the second half, especially from the outside, the Spurs couldn't rebound to save their lives, and the Hornets mascot and shot clock operator helped to take momentum away from the Spurs.....no, I am not concerned at all, as far as the series goes. I picked the Spurs in 6, and I will stick by my prediction.

I will say though, that I am concerned with West. We had no answer for him in game 1. I am not sure what adjustments we will make for Game 2, but I totally trust Pop.

BTW...why is Chris Paul such a punk. He puts the ball into Bowen's sac during the season, and Bowen reacts like any guy would, he retaliates, kicking Paul, getting suspended and ending his consecutive games streak. Then last night, Paul flops when Bowen barely touches him and tries to draw a technical. In fact, anytime Bowen was near him, Paul would try to sell calls just to get the refs to bite....it was quite pathetic actually. Paul is such an instigating little punk.

GO SPURS GO

[SAGambler]

Not yet. Too many times I've seen the Spurs drop the first game of a series and then come storming back.

If Duncan just gives 50% last night, we would have been fine. If he gave 70% we probably win the thing.

Our problem last night was Duncan failing to show up for the game. Hopefully he gets over whatever his problem is and starts playing instead of crying to the refs every trip down the court. Never, ever thought I would see a playoff game like this out of Duncan.

[Strike]

Been said many times. Duncan took a dump in game 1. It happens. Even the best players have a clusterfuck of a game sometimes.

Watch for Timmy to go for 20 and 20 in game 2.

[INS]

Duncan isn't going to get 20,20 unless Tyson is in foul trouble.

[SpursFanFirst]

worried after game 1?
It's too soon for that.

But I definitely don't like the way the second half played out last night.

[nfg3]

No I'm not concered. TD didn't get into the game - cudos to NO for that - and the adjustments that come in game 2 will be telling. If game 2 is the same as game 1 then there is reason for concern. If the Spurs get back to their type of game then I think we get a split. All I wanted was to win one game in NO. Then that would put the pressure on the Hornets and now we see how they respond.

Poll needs to be taken after game 2.

[vander]

I'm concerned, but even if we lose there's still the 08 master plan, this was just a rebuilding year, or something :dramaquee

[lefty]

30 % concerned?


Weak.......what a bunch of quitters

[dingoANDtheBABY]

i'll get concerned when pop starts running all sorts of line ups at NO like he did in 06 against Dallas.
i'll get concerned when the spurs covert -albeit sometimes overt- dirty playing doesn't effect NO anymore
i'll get concerned when there is a real reason, not when they lose a game that they should lose. Spurs can't go undefeated they know it, we know it, let's move on to game 2.

[TampaDude]

Spurs lost one game. They are expected to lose another somewhere in this series and win the series 4-2. Until they are in an 0-3 hole, I'm not gonna worry.

[SpurAddict561]

I'm not concerned at all....had Timmy scored 19 pts with 11 rebounds and we lost like that, I would definitely be concerned...but we all know THAT wasn't the case.

Let's go Game 2.

[Strike]

30 % concerned?


Weak.......what a bunch of quitters

And 70% saying either "no" or "fuck yourself".

I'm not worried at all.

[dbreiden83080]

Duncan isn't going to get 20,20 unless Tyson is in foul trouble.

Tyson can't check Duncan and Scott knows it. HE is going to double him like crazy all series long. It is up to Timmy to play smart through the double teams, get in better positions on the floor to catch the ball and up to the Spurs to hit open shots when available playing off the double teams.

[Don Quixote]

Yeah ... Katrina jokes are not funny.

We're kinda sick of Katrina round here. We hate the ho.

[ballhog]

Yeah, not the first time they've lost the first game. Now need to roll off 4 in a row. This series was not going to be a sweep. I was hoping for 5 games though.

[spur-of-the-moment]

you guys like to fuckin curse alot around here...kinda different...

[Brutalis]

Nay

We see the Sporks fold in game 2?

Yay

[ClingingMars]

INS is finally banned! should we have a party?

- Mars

[Ragin Cajun]

I'm not concerned.

[samikeyp]

I'm not concerned.

[Ring of Fire]

INS, has anyone in Louisiana learned how to work a fire extinguisher

At least one person knows how to use one all too well. :rolleyes


did anyone with an IQ over 60 move to Texas after the storm?

Do they have any there to begin with? http://www.cdol.com/images/covri.gif

/jorts

[TMTTRIO]

I'm a little bit concerned but I still believe that the Spurs can do it. I don't think Tim will have another game like he had the other night besides he always seems to come back and have a good game after a bad night. I'm a lot more concerned about Manu though. Yes he did make some shots (when he was warmed up) but then he went cold. He doesn't have any lift or even speed to really drive through the lanes. He could barely drive with the ball. We need Manu to be better than the 60% Manu we have now. Maybe we should use Brent a little more if Manu continues struggling with the ankle. Tony will continue to do his thing in the lane and we're going to need it.

[Spurminator]

No more concerned than I was before Game 1. This is going to be a tough series.

But we've lost Game 1's before. Remember, the last time this Spurs team was defeated in the Playoffs, it took three games to finish them off. They haven't really folded in the postseason since 2004.

[remingtonbo2001]

What are we supposed to be concerned about?

[atxrocker]

bump

[BlackFlagg]

So whenever your attempt to be funny fails, you turn to an equally unfunny, worn out Katrina joke?

No shit. Cut the Katrina crap. It's not only tasteless, but unimaginative.

[Obstructed_View]

I'm concerned they won't get out of this funk in time. As long as they have fewer than four losses in this series, it's not too late to turn it around. The Spurs are capable of winning four in a row against anyone in this league with the possible exception of the Pistons.
