    I'm gonna take the glass half full view here. Yeah, we lost and at home.

    But they've yet to quit on a game. And today was the perfect opportunity, down 23, nothing going in and everything going in for the opposition. They fought back, re-took the lead and couldn't close it down.

    This team can compete with anybody. Effort will be there every night. I hope Bobo can come back soon, he's another energizer guy off the bench.

    Love watching this team, tbh.

    I'm also loving this team and I'm sure they'll learn from mistakes made down the stretch. Great team and I'm loving the addiction of Marco Bellinelli.

    Hard to say Tim didn't quit when he refused to foul Harden near the end. That was either a brain fart or just gave up. I know he got a cool dunk and some points, but we rely on his defense and they walked all over him.

    Agreed tbh. Beli is a great addition and big upgrade over Gary IMO. Spurs haven't even put it all together and still have a solid record. Will be fun to see how they do when everything's clicking tbh.

    Would be even better if they can move Matt/Nando for anything close to a rotational player tbh.

    I think the wrist-cutting is overboard too, tbh... this is the first time we're playing a team like the Rockets this season, which made substantial changes... I think we're learning from some of this stuff too... yet I can fault the effort or the compe ive spirit.

    The mistake was actually not fouling Howard when he caught the ball in the high post in the last 2 minutes.

    If the Spurs played defense in the first half they wouldn't have had to come back. It seems like against .500 teams they need to get a rude awakening to actually play and that doesn't bode well.

    Team's pretty good, I wouldn't say great until Manu and Tim can be trusted to score one on one again. OKC and 1st half against Houston proved that if Tony's having a quiet night, the Spurs are finished. Role players won't bail us out against great teams.

    The silver lining to this game is that Duncan has now had EXCELLENT back to back performances.

    You call that excellent... only if you're a loser. Now would you shut the up already.

    Still feeling really good about the team. Never thought we'd climb all the way out of that hole on a b2b and almost have the game won.

    Sure, if you consider airballing a game winning shot at the end of the game, and not fouling down by 2 at a one possession time frame... he had a great game. My how standards have fallen.

    This is what I saw and said yeah we will be good if he can keep that up or near it. This team can be really good and I agree with the OP.

    Everyone loses games much worse than this one. If you play in the NBA you will lose a game. Tim though ten years ago was an absolte MONSTER so I will take that one back who lost a game here or there anytime (Don't see how he single handedly lost the games but oh well).

    I wouldn't say I'm half full or half empty, just wait and see at ude til playoffs. Ginobili could lose us another Finals, Parker could go heroball at key moments. I just hope Duncan and everyone is healthy, plus we need lots of internal improvements.
