Are you KIDDING? We only got half a bench, shrimps like Parker are getting to the rim on our vaunted frontline almost at WILL, our legendary domination of the boards is down to a statistical TIE (41.4 RPG for Pistons AND for opponents, and that's AFTER the xmas game), we're giving up over 90 points per game....Quote:

They need to put up a bandwagon icon under anyone who post doop like this. We loose a road game.. B F D ...
Panic is whimps...
True Spurs fans stay with the team in ups and downs. And I get tired of all the crying and "panic" when we are FRIGGIN 1st in WEST!!
How the BEEP is that Panic time?
If you have to ask, you already flunked the class.Quote:

Panic? No.
Resignation that this season may be slipping away on Tim's bad heel, yes.
If Tim can't achor the help defense, alter/block shots, get RBs, then the defense is very mediocre. No Tim, no defense, no Spurs.
detroit only scored 83 points.
Which isn't bad considering they only went to the line 3 times in the first 46 minutes...Quote:

Perhaps Tim's injury makes him less mobile and Nazr hasn't been getting as many minutes as late last year, but we've lost rebounding for sure with this current rotation and squad.
Right now, Detroit is simply better than we are. If we don't improve we will not win the title this year.
you have got to be kidding, the spurs couldn't score even 70 last night at home!!!Quote:

Enough to blow out the Spurs' risible 68.
It was that pace of game, walk it across mid-court, and half-court at both ends.
They outshot the Spurs 44% to 38%,
they took 14 more shots,
they got 16 ORB vs 4 ORB.
The Spurs got beat thoroughly, on both ends, like they were the worst team in the NBA. Last night, they were.
Well said boutons. Rember Spurs fans all good things must come to an end eventually.
The good news is that you guys have the ability to get better before the playoffs, the bad news is that the Pistons are out for blood and they will only continue to get better as well.
Tim Duncan's injured/ineffectiveness ='s the Spurs demise.
Still a little early for the obituary. Pistons are only one key injury from being in the same boat. It is a long season. Hard for me to imagine the Pistons getting better. We shall see. The Pistons sure look unbeatable now.Quote:

I'm gonna bump this thread for every Spurs' loss.
we're incredibly fucked this season
and frankly anything less than a championship is an absolute bust for us
at this rate we may not even win our own division let alone the nba finals!! and for all the folks who knock on dallas, granted they are a shitty playoff team and love to choke when it matters, during the season they mostly do take care of business and blow out teams they're supposed to, while the chances of the spurs beating anyone seems to diminish by the week. we only seem to get worse and worse. after a bright spot in the miami win, we've come back to shitty uninspired basketball
repeating is not easy, and rarely occurs - especially if your key players are hurting. ours are, and i for one am still happy that we won last season.
Why would you panic after every loss in the regular season?
Panic after losses in the postseason.
That's a little extreme, don't you think? :spin I mean, we're no Detroit, that's for sure, but we're not headed for certain doom either. The truth lies somewhere in the middle.Quote:

It's just hard when your two best players have nagging injuries and aren't able to consistently play at the top of their game.
haha its VERY extreme but I'm EXTREMELY pessimistic and pissed at the injuries and lack of inspiration. but yeah that Miami game was definitely the 1st game all year where we showed that when we're clicking we're definitely up there :smokinQuote:

Is this thread only appropriate after back-to-back losses?
quit trolling the spurs board your making all piston fans look bad it's one thing to be a fan but do you need to take it to a spurs board with your how pistons will beat spurs their on a mission crap?why do spurs fans care?stupid troll.Quote:
