Dude, parker stopped means nothing if other players step up - it didn't happen tonight as many took the night off. I don't know about parker being stopped, i think he wasn't even there to start with.Quote:

Not gonna read 38 pages, but I assume someone has mentioned how god awful Finley has been lately.
For a guy that is at a point in his career where shooting is just about the only thing he does, to shoot barely 30% from the field is pretty rediculous.
What's worse is that it's clear Udoka still does not feel comfortable in the Spurs system on offense or defense. I didn't think I'd be saying this, but there is some serious depth concern on the wings right now.
Can the Spurs keep starting Fin?
They made some contested shots but it is true we tried double-teams and after the pass we were almost always late on rotations - terry exploited this all night long but he wasn't the only one. They need to be quicker if the plan is to doubleteam.Quote:

As long as Spurs return the favor in December, I'm not going to be alarmed. But right now, we still have some tinkering to do with matching up against these guys.
I was afraid of this but I believe Fin is the only starter we have there unless we want to try put Barry back again like 3 years ago when the manu-bench telenovela started.Quote:

The last three quarters were pretty good. We missed a bunch of layups. Oh well, we'll get 'em next time.
It just comes with the territory.Quote:

It's to be expected I guess.
But Barry wasn't playing as well and there weren't any other options.Quote:

Obviously I'm not saying he's "done", but the Spurs HAVE to look elsewhere right now, don't they?

Oh and Bonner...that dude is LOST on defense.
I'd love to see him fill the "Horry" role, but unless he improves dramatically on the defensive side of the ball, I'm not sure he gets to be more than just a simple role player for this squad.
He's got the willingess to learn, but I'm not sure if he has the capacity (athleticism, mental toughness).
As it would be if the situation was reversed.Quote:

Playing for the best record in the league title is fool's gold. Pop's never been about that.
This is true. Ohh well -- they're usually all nice to me -- I have alotta respect for SA. I don't come on here with the 'MAVS ARE BETTER THAN SPURS' BS. :lolQuote:

Here's a hint--when you're a superior team, you don't have to walk around with an inferiority complex to a team that hasn't won shit. :lol
It's funny how the toll of a couple of postseason chokes has cleaned up the Mav fan trolling in this forum. It looked like it cleaned out more than a few seats in Big D tonight too.Quote:

Patriots fans :lol I would knowQuote:
