You guys are aware the Playoffs aren't in January right?

Well despite some struggles, and Tony Parker being tired, I think we had a pretty good run over the recent games. TP still did pretty well, we should be happy that it changed compared to the start of this season. The losses of yesterday and day before, well, its just fatigue, yeah it sucks, but it's just the schedule.

Im positive, and I know we are championship contenders, we will be there when we need, plus even though seeing TP struggling like this, im not worried, he does his best and does pretty well. Im more worried about Jefferson being unable to find his role in this team, I think that's something that should change and I hope it will be soon

This team is so up and down this season how is it possible to even know what we truly have with this team?

Look, this is supposed to be a title run year, but its heading into one of the worst seasons since TD arrived. All these excuses need to stop. Spurs just need to get their asses out there an play to win.

The only thing worse than an "It's just __________" thread is a "It's just a game" thread. Impressive combo.

Yet still so many like to use this copy and paste crutch...

Yeah of course they need to, im not saying they shouldnt. They need to get their asses out and work their asses off. But the thing is, im confident about that, they will. Things are not working out like we've expected them to work out this year, but it still doesnt mean this season is worthless and that we are finished.

It's just frustrating to see the Spurs win two games against good teams where you're not sure of the outcome, only to see them lose two games to teams they should beat with relative ease.

I totally agree with you there that it's far from over. There are just so many things that need improving on, and the current direction of the team is going does not seem to be resolving the issues.

This team is very much still in the title hunt but hey have to find a way to improve this team before they can consider being there. Coasting this year just will not cut it, because there is so much that needs to be worked on this season.

We can think up any excuse for any situation, but bottom line the Spurs just need to suck it up and play some real spurs ball, and go out there to murder whatever team thats on the court, be it the clippers or the lakers.

something is definetly missing both this year and last. The spurs use to man handle teams like OKC, Memphis............I think its a combination of old and just not good enough anymore and different faces (no more hard, intense D by Bowen, no more big shot Bob) Seems like a lot has changed since the run back in 08. It's all coming to an end. I'd be happy with them just getting in the lottery, making trades, and rebuilding. Why tail into the playoffs and get your ass kicked by a top contender? I say that should be the plan if nothing changes within the next month but that's just me.

What I know is that

1) the Spurs are 2 games from second place,
and 3 games ahead of the 11th place. They have the 8th winning record, and the third payroll.

2) They have played a lot of bad teams, mostly at home (23 and 17).

3) Against elite teams (teams that went to Conference finals in the last 3 years), Spurs have played only three games, all at home, and won one.

4) They have issues with Parker (fatigue) Ginobili (can't hit a bathtub) and Jefferson (14 million dollars loser).

lol spurs fans wanting them to win 82 games

For how bad everyone is doing this year, (except for Tim) we're still an above average team though. That only shows how much upside this team has if everyone plays great.

SpursTalk.com. Where a couple looses on the road in January, equal the End of the World.

Nah, but a championship would be nice.

Give me a damn break. The fact is that this team is just not good.

Someone might ask the coach running playoff rotations if he's aware of that.

Which is why people get so frustrated. Spurs' fans are getting tired of seeing the obvious potential with such minimal, and inconsistent, progress in reality.

Sometimes it's like the Spurs only have 2-3 good/active/intense players all game trying to keep the team in it. Everyone else just sort of gets high and wanders off. :(

:lmao :lmao :lmao

This whole "this isn't the playoffs" shit doesn't work anymore. They have not show a consistent improvement. The bench is good and Timmy is being Timmy but I don't see anything being hugely different from now until the playoffs. Pop jumped ship for less. THere is no way anyone in the lockerroom is sitting around saying that they will be a threat by playoff time. They have endless amounts of talent but it just seems like no direction.

Great teams lose to "good" teams sometimes. That's basketball, lakers losing to the clippers for example.

clearly the cowboys are aware the Playoffs aren't in January.:bang

C´mon guys, its only Sunday.

I get the same thing said to me at times. Remember the old we will be fine and Spurs peak after March they use every year like clockwork! People need to realize these are not the SAME old Spurs who won the titles and it's a new day and age. January then did NOT matter, does it now? Time will tell with this team if they have it.
