Re: So who do we blame tonight??
Alright, before we all continue to bitch at one another, I think it's pretty obvious that the biggest culprit in the game was the spurs lack of execution and the inability to take care of the ball.
It's been that, transition D, guarding the paint and Bonner... Okay, maybe it isn't Bonner's fault all the time. :rolleyes
Although I think I can point the finger at Jefferson and then everyone can agree that this guy might be the biggest problem.
He isn't worth a fraction of what he's earning at the moment.

Leaving Martell Webster open twice. The fucking Blazers move the ball better than us, what the fuck.

Joking? All teams deal with back to backs. And if you are blaming it with age, who assembled all the old guys into a team in the 1st place? Again, the Spurs have played one of the least, if not the least amount of back-to-backs. And you forget that old man Andre Miller leaving it out on the floor. And the vets are supposed to have more experience than the young guys on the Blazers in crunch time, and the Blazers out execute the Spurs in the clutch? Those are some excuses you are coming up with.

look, i think the Spurs need to trade Parker. but i have never thought that it's because he's "selfish". i just think it's obvious that he is not a true PG. he's not a distributor. that's not his fault. it's just not his game, not the way he's built. a great PG can see the whole floor, not just a lane to the basket. a great PG can make that brilliant pass to the open teammate. Parker is fast as hell. he's hugely skilled at finishing in the paint. he's a smart guy and a good guy. but i've said it before and i'll say it again, a team with a shoot-first PG is at a SERIOUS disadvantage against elite teams. but again, i don't think Parker shoots first because he's selfish. i just think it's his game.

You might not be able to cope with it, but the spurs are gonna have to move on from it and certain that they will.
I can live with, but I'm sure you're the type that will toss and turn when you go to bed. Me on the other hand. :sleep

Exactly.
No need to dwell on the loss. Even Pop said it himself. You don't ever get to high off a win or ever get too low on a loss.

Oh god, you obviously missed the point of the thread...:bang

Good night and stay bitchy spurstalk fans. :toast

Parker might not be a true point guard, but exactly how many "true pgs are in the NBA? But if you look up the top ten pg's in the NBA, Parker makes the list. Parker can distribute, but not as consistantly as say a Deron Williams. I love Parker, but if you got equal value in return, I could see trading him. I'm more than confident that George Hill could run the team effectively, as long as the Spurs picked up a solid backup pg.

I blame the Blazers winning.
