I actually don't mind this loss at all. The Spurs have been too lax this series (espcecially on D) maybe taking the Kings a bit lightly. A loss like this might give the Spurs a renewed sense of urgency.

I hate this "renewed sense of ugency" or the hated, hackneyed "wake up call"
It's the FUCKING playoffs!!
It's what the Spurs having been fucking around all season waiting for,
but they still need rewewal or waking up? GMAFB!

They've been down this road many a time and get a little too comfortable in key moments of games. They're not easily amped up playing an 8th seed in the first round of the playoffs. And yes a loss like this might be a "wake up call" for a team that has been basically been going through the motions the last couple of games.Quote:

So far we have no answer for the Kings in rebounding and you cant win in this league if you get out-rebounded every game. sooner or later it will catch up to you.
I don't agree with this. If the Spurs lost game two, they would have had a different mindset for game three because the importance of game three is magnified. I think Spurs win game three if they lost game two.Quote:

Exactly. If the Spurs had dropped game 2 they would have won game 3.Quote:

He is so intense and competitive that he reminds me of MJ.
it is amazing to be everyone is so hard on tp's outside shot when aj could not hit a outside shot to save his freaking life
Or win a championship.Quote:

hmmmmmmm
TP's jump shot will be fine. If he sticks to remembering his form, he will hit some key jumpers in these playoffs.
He had a horrible game 3 along with Manu. They both should have great games today.
Spurs in Five.

it is called lack of being pumped up boutons
there was no d with the pistons last night
they needed a wake up call
The Bucks were red hot, 60%.
Defense could have made some difference, sure, but no defense doesn't force a team to shoot 60%.
The Spurs have had some opponents shoot very high FG% this season.
Because the Spurs played shitty D, or because the oppents was shooting hot?
The Spurs outshot the Kings, but Spurs had bad TOs, low ASTs vs Spurs avg, and got beat on the boards, and got outhustled nearly the entire game. Nice comeback, but un-championship-last-possession tactics lost the game.

So opponents against the Pistons shoot lights out, but against the Spurs its bad defense.
Typical Spurs hate rhetoric from you,
now that is a good comeback ducks!Quote:
