Exactly what Im thinking. I couldn't find the words to describe it.
If this rodeo road trip goes wrong, Im not sure if our chances winning that trophy looks okay, as Dallas and Detroit are getting back to the top.
Re: what's our excuse to this loss?
It's one of the few regular season losses you see, where they just plain sucked and got outplayed.
Defense was atrocious.
They should AT LEAST love playing the game a little more. Only Duncan (and Ginobili to an extent for some stretches) played like they really wanted to BEAT the team. I haven't seen them play that way where they wanted to kill the opposing team, since early December.
Oh yeah, and their are a lot of patchy performances from our bench on the defensive end.
Re: what's our excuse to this loss?
What the hell happened to Robert Horry? The second he checks in, Detroit goes on a monster run. His +/- had to be off the charts bad in his 6 or 7 minutes in the game in the tonight.

If they're that weak mentally, they don't deserve a championship, but yeah, they just need to go on a win streak of any sorts! Please!
Re: what's our excuse to this loss?
Spurs had to know that Detroit would be very, very, motivated for this game - since they were on a 2 game losing streak. However you wouldn't have been able to tell.

Re: what's our excuse to this loss?
It really was the Spurs defense in the first quarter that was the difference in the game. Even with Manu and Tony shooting poorly, the Spurs would have been right in the game had they not allowed so many easy lay-ups in the first quarter. Part of it was also turnovers when the Spurs were trying to force the action looking for fouls. After the first quarter, the Spurs outplayed the Pistons for much of the rest of the game.

Yeah, the Spurs had one bad quarter, and that dictated the game.
Honestly this loss doesn't bother me at all.
The third quarter showed how good this team can be on even a difficult night.
But what the hell, I guess Im just optimistic and whatever like that.

Re: what's our excuse to this loss?

Nah, we said that last year and went 4-4 but won the rings. The real test comes in the 5-10 games after all-star break. Come out firing, we're in with a shot. If not, here comes 2004 and 2006 all over again, a heart-breaking 2nd round loss to someone like Dallas, Golden State or (finally) Phoenix.

Having watched Rob closely since he came back, I think he might be done. He looks a step slow for the league and his bball IQ isn't compensating for it.
Time to get Oberto back into the SL, settle on a 4-man bench, and get some consistency into the setup.
Re: what's our excuse to this loss?
Hello to all you great Spurs fans! Let me say from watching this game, I was very disapointed with the Spurs effort. As a Piston fan, I saw the samething last night when Dallas beat us, we didn't come to play. But tonight, in the first half, you ran into that Piston team that won 11 games in a row, and left nothing but DNA. But in the second half, your defense choked us off, and had us struggling! But if the Spurs had not have run into the THEIF known as Lindsey Hunter, you might have pulled this one out'!
But from what I see from the Motorcity, is that the Spurs look old and slow. There seems to be no chemistry anymore. I thought Duncan brought it hard and correct, but the rest of the team was still riding on the bus. It's a long season, and you've got a lot of guys breathing down your backs, but we still think you are the best in the west! Infact, we still think we're gonna see you guys in that finals place, that we all want to see! But this time, we're gonna try and keep the garbage from Cleveland out! See you the next game here at the Palace, have a great season, and BEAT BOSTON and Cleveland FOR US! We'll try and help you out on your end too! GO SPURS!

Haha, owned. But seriously I think Horry is done. He can still hit 3's but he's a damn liability for everything else.

Turn back the clock to 2005 - bring back Nazr Mohammed!
