click on sports.

click on nba

click on standings

count how many games there are between the 2nd seed and the 7th seed and ask yourself what's a big deal.


Then, try and figure out how many 6, 7, 8th seeds have won shit?

It's a big deal.

Pop has no sense of urgency... he held duncan out until 5 minutes left in the game... yeah, that worked.. Big Baby schooled his ass. Pathetic.

Spurs suck. Wake up.

I'd say setting 400-500 screens a game, a lot of them for Parker...plus playing Spurs' defense is helping each other. This game and the Thunder game were just mental melt-downs. Sure, they aren't shooting 3s well lately but defense and limited turnovers win games, particularly down the stretch. The Spurs even got some cooperation from the officials in the last 3 minutes...but they just looked opportunity in the face and gave it away.

Bruce Bowen...my hat goes off to you. You deserved better tonight.

You're wrong, you're looking for a ray of sunshine and there isn't any.. yeah, the spurs did what you said, but it was a HOME game... that shit may work on the road, but in your bldg, your fans, you come out and kick ass...

+1

The night is not so bad after all.
We know Manu will come back soon, Gooden is bringing what we are expecting so far, Bruce showed tonite that he can be again a last time the 4th element of the big 3, Hill demonstrated again all his talent and TP is definately better than last year.

If we cant win next year this team has seen its last title in its current form. Tim is not gonna get better, he has no lift, no shot and cant beat his man on the blocks.

Bonner is worthless, and Pops refused to give Hill and Gooden more mins. Stick a fork in us we are done.

Didn't we go thru the players are to old routine last year to? :rolleyes

That pretty much sums it up.

Spurs DID want it tonight, the defense was a clear indication..we were playing a great defensive team with an injured Duncan and without our offensive spark..tough to score..

this is one of the stupidest threads I've ever seen, but I wouldn't expect any different from Amuseddaysleeper..I also don't expect any different from guys like mexicanjunior and Texas2Step..these guys are all idiots that use no logic or knowledge in their posts..

I find it laughable that somebody would give up on our season due to a loss where we missed 6 FTs in clutch time..something you'll NEVER see in an NBA game again..not to mention it was against the defending champs..

apparently these people forgot that we beat a healthy Celtics team on the road not too long ago..

Yes, calling this loss "pathetic' was stupid. Missing 6 ft's is not pathetic. OK

We did beat a healthy Celtics, I never discounted that, the thing is this loss stings and people vent.

Deal with it.

Simple solution -- retire those hideous "Los Spurs" jerseys.

How do you take the classiest top in the league and turn it in to that with one small addition? :rolleyes

And what is the team's record in those rags? The defenders of the Alamo had a higher winning percentage. :wow

MAN....you forgot to put the word "man" at the end of that last sentence. It makes for a more dramatic effect.

NOW YOU GUYS BREAK IT UP OR ELSE!!!

yes..we are old, Duncan sucks and gets outplayed by everybody, we don't have another big man next to him..yet we're #2 in the West and a consensus top 4 contender by the majority of people, despite major injuries to our 3 best players, and constant changes to the roster..

how did that happen?..just curious..

Those facts actually make this loss even more pathetic. The fact is that the Celtics laid a big fat turd out there in the first half and instead of getting up double digits, we play sloppy and lose a double digit lead...TWICE! We lost the game in the first half, not the 2nd.

Btw watching Tim get bullied around by Perkins and give nothing back was just depressing. Tim used to annihilate guys who pissed him off. Now...nothing.

Whatever the excuse, missing 6 straight FTs, down the stretch, is inexcusable for a championship-caliber ballgame. Both teams were injury-plagued. Effort was there. The team worked hard to put themseleves in a position to win a game against the defending champions, and they fart away the opportunity in the final minutes. It's totally unexplainable.

This loss and the OKC road loss are very troublesome.

Like others have said in this thread, the Spurs are simply too long in the tooth to win a title anymore. People use injuries as an excuse, but THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE OLD and your body's had the wear and tear of all those playoff runs. It's time for them to rebuild...

No, this game was played well defensively by the Spurs but their mistakes and missed shots, particularly in winning time, were just a gift to Boston.

---

Do you think Bonner will start in the playoffs?

When he doesn't hit his shot he's useless and that what' happening now.

I'd like to see TD and Gooden starting with Thomas as the 1st big off the bench and Bonner and Oberto playing depending on match ups

Bonner was 50% from the field, 3-6 overall
He did have 7 rebounds, 6 defensive, and a blocked shot, same a gooden with fewer fouls, not really useless.


It is Finley that is the one that needs less time on floor.

:tu Makes me sick. Seriously...when you lose by 3 points, how can you say that a 20 point a game scorer doesn't matter? That's ignorant. And yes, they had no focus at the end of that game, but Manu gives us that focus..and that fire. EVERY player on the court plays better with Manu in the game..it's one of the things he brings to the Spurs. It's been so long since we've seen him, I think some of you people have forgotten that.

:tu Coaching, baby..coaching. Pop knows what players fit into the system, and he integrates them perfectly. Mason, Hill, Tony, Manu. People looked at these signings and wondered what we were doing. Hmm...maybe he's just intelligent.

no really, it's time to stop blaming manu. the rockets are creeping up on the spurs and they're missing t-mac, yao (off and on) and shane battier's had some trouble and look at them!!! bout to take the 2 seed. i still believe in SA but really, they gotta put something together
