Duncan's post game interview.

This game was so bad there were moments I considered cheering for the Bobcats. I give Pop respect for trying to right this lost ship, but I'm not sure if there's any easy way to make sense of this team right now.
What confused me most about Pop tonight was his insistence in the second half to keep running at the Bobcats. Perhaps he thought we could get easy points, but his insistence to push the pace came at about the same time I thought that the Spurs should quit trying to run at all right now. Just slow it down. I don't think I've ever seen a worse fast breaking team in my life. It's like a turnover every other time. College teams can throw better outlet passes than this. This team has no idea how to run a fast break . It's stunning how bad we are at it. Even Tim didn't know what he was doing tonight. Parker got assists but was absolutely awful in directing the team. I see no sense of purpose from him half the time. There was what seemed like a 5 minute stretch in the second half where Mason didn't touch the ball once, and he was open on the three point line with no one within ten feet of him. Instead everyone else kept barreling down the lane getting stripped or making some god awful pass.
I think the team is in shock with the realization that they aren't that good right now.
It was great to see Dice awake from his slumber - this at least convinces me he can turn it up a notch still, and I have faith he will be a contributor in the postseason.
Anyway - not sure why Blair didn't play. I sense some stupid mind games from Pop trying to crush his confidence.
This was a win but felt like a blowout loss.
I'm 3-0 when opening the game blog threads :smokin
Manu was did good and nice to see Parker having so much assists again. But his scoring was pretty low. Anyway, it was a win, that's what counts.
I never thought I can see the day when Parker's averaging 10 assists
