Moral victories don't count in the standings..
This was a game the Spurs should have won, they didn't, it counts as a loss in a tight WC race..
Manu and Tim continue to show they are capable of bringing all-star level play against the top level compe ion.
The supporting cast was right there with a very good team.
We took them to OT in Atlanta, where they have an excellent record.
I think this game should contribute to the general confidence of the team. They are playing well together.
I would prefer to see blair getting more of the Bonner minutes, though; that would have helped the offensive rebounding I think.
When Parker comes back, we will have plenty of fire-power and should win some games, even against Lakers, Denver or Dallas.

The Schedule of Death!
Worst loss of the season
We had that game and TOs and boards killed us and we have NO legs for tomorrow
in stupid we were up 14
WTF you talkin bout, this was worst case scenario. Manu got 44 minutes, Tim got 41, and we've got a game tomorrow
This tight game guarantee us a loss tomorrow.
If there's such a thing as a bad loss, this was it.
Typical for this season and this year. There is no silver lining. We can't win close games-haven't all season and will continue to get our asses handed to us.
We came in hot, and they countered. They are a much better offensive rebounding team than us.
Manu and Duncan had to play his A+ game to keep us in it, I don't think we "should" have won.
Unless you consider we were up 4 with one minute left.
Anyway, I think we are playing at our top level offensively, and just could not prevent the offensive rebound. Atlanta is deadly on the fast break off the turnover, or even missed long ball as well.
Oh, you must not have seen the Cleveland game.
I agree that at the very least, this game shows that the Spurs have actually improved their quality of play and aren't just feasting on the chump teams. I wasn't so sure about that after the Orlando game.
And yeah, playing this many minutes on the front end of a B2B is going to suck. Tomorrow may be ugly.
Spurs Fked up
Defensive stops were non-existance and those lousy passes [lack of concentration]and turnovers that hat made it
If anything this was a back breaker. Manu/Duncan heavy minutes.
They better ing man up and play hard tomorrow too... they put themselves in this position... no one else to blame. Now they face the consequences.
This was one of their worst losses of the season...pretty much guarantees we don't win another game the rest of the week.
All of you drama queen spurs fans need to stop being es.
You should have expected a loss here and tomorrow, that is what the odds said.
The fact the spurs played this well is a good sign.
Yes, the long minutes do suck, but its is not like the other team did not lose tonight also, just had a back to back too, and won't be tired also. They have a flight back as well.
We probably lose tomorrow, but if we keep it close, that will again show the spurs are playing very well and improving their chemistry. The offense was great, they just needed better rebounding really.
Best case scenario this year: Spurs were 5th seed. They would play the lakers in the 2nd round.
WGAF if they win the first round if they die in the 2nd anyway? I don't.
Just enjoy watching the team play WELL. The rest this year is meaningless unless they beat the Lakers.
How is it a good sign?..
This moves the Spurs closer to the 8th seed and getting swept by the Lakers..the Spurs are trying to WIN games, not ALMOST win games..they need to move up in the standings to get to the best possible position..nobody remembers when you almost win games..
Playing better and not winning won't matter if the Spurs get the Lakers in the 1st round..
haha op is re ed
Stopped reading after this, being up 4 with less than a minute to go = expected win.
Yo this shyt crushed us, this was not a good loss with your schedule coming up nor is there good coming out of it. This is not a good loss, this one here just crushed us.
if we're going by almost won games then Spurs would get the 1 seed.
The loss is disappointing but it sure is nice to see Manu at a 100%. This team can do some damage in the playoffs if Parker comes back healthy and well rested.
Spurs need to play the Lakers eventually. Playing to avoid them is meaningless. We just need to be playing consistently well, with our role players and our defense.
Wins are nice but will not make a difference, they will not make our front court taller.
We're better than the Hawks, this game should have been down as a W but we let them get back into the game after exposing them in the 1st quarter. Horrible loss, but I must say even when we were winning early I started to miss TP. Then in OT I really missed him.
Tired of the Blair/Bonner combination, it's such bull but once in awhile it'll work in a way that doesn't kill us and therefore Pop will just continue to use it as a pacifier line-up in games.
