    No consistent bench support. Tim, Tony, and Manu have to play all 48 because when they go out of the game our bench tanks.

    They don't really suck. They are the third best team in the standings of the powerful Western conference.

    Why are they 3rd in the standings? Because they have the third best starting five--with LA Lakers quickly gaining on them.

    this really means nothing, losing streaks and everybody hits the panic button... STFU and stick by your team cry babies...... they will get better towards the end of the season. The Spurs don't suck, they just don't play their best bball night-in and night-out....they have to deal with the other 29 teams giving them their best games because the SPURS are still the leaders of the elite. This Phoenix rising and Mavs winning means nothing until they have the rings to prove themselves, until then just write them off as flukes, anomalies.....

    Sounds like someone is burying their head in the sand.......

    The issues you see now wont go away in the playoffs. These aren't "fixable" problems. Age isn't fixable, end of story. Lack of talent isn't fixable for the most part either.

    Age, lack of bench support and a softer interior defense have all combined to make the Spurs a team that has to play near flawless basketball to compete with the two top teams. Its no longer about the Spurs winning despite the mistakes and poor shooting. They simply aren't a team that can overcome those problems on a nightly basis anymore.

    I see a big housecleaning next year........

    I agree. Age is the big problem. Robert Horry
    and Bruce Bowen move really stiff. Tim Duncan is also starting to move fairly stiff. What I mean is he doesent bend his knees when he runs. He keep his legs straight.
    Another problem I see aside from age, is strength. The Spurs players seem weak. They get pushed around fairly easy, balls are taken away with no problem. I think we need some type of strength conditioning. The other teams we are losing to seem much stronger and faster.
    I also believe there will be a house cleaning. We must get younger,stronger,faster and more athletic to keep up with teams like Dallas, Phoenix and now Denver. We did improve over Nazi and Rasho with Elson and Butler but we must keep adding to our roster.
    I personaly would like to see Bowmen traded, Robert Horry retire, Vaughn cut, Obertro and Berry traded. Would like to see Jackie Butler and James White given more playing time. Michael Finley needs to work on his legs so he can get elevation on his shots. Tim Duncan hit the weights and Manu concentrate more on his moves and less on flopping and trying to pick up fouls.
    I would like the team to start drafting players who are going to contribute or at least make the team. I am tired of drafting players who stay over seas.
    Finally, MAKE A TRADE! SPEND SOME MONEY! We should have several more rings. We were THIS CLOSE to winning at least four more rings but because we were cheap the rings went to the Lakers, Pistons and Heat.

    Would we still be considered "sucky" if the Mavs or Suns didn't have such amazing records? Say they had 13 losses or so each, would we still be THAT far behind them?

    We aren't playing that good but SUCKS is a wrong term.

    Because we brought in a bunch of 3rd stringers during the off season and expected miracles in return.

    Because we were too old last year and this year it's the same old faces.

    Because Pop became spellbound with foreign pick-n-stash gambits that haven't produced much lately.

    Because the FO failed to realize the urgency of the situation.

    I wish the future looked brighter. It seems we've put all our eggs in one basket. Now were left with little tradeable assets and TD's not getting any younger.
