I believe in what I see. And based upon what I see, the Spurs are declining right before our eyes. Unless level of play picks up...and soon, there may not be a long, playoff run.
tell her we look forward to her return this thursday

YEah yeah keep thinking everythings fine just like the spurs and you might watch the playoffs from the tv instead of being on the court. They are not ok and i blame it on pop. Why play horry? We have thomas Why finley!??? All this ty rotation is causing the losses
Getting Barry back will help.
I want to see them triple team Duncan with Barry out on the court. Does not happen.
Will also help if Pop either
A. Stop running small ball
B. Gets the players to run it correctly.
On the brightside...Thomas finally found his place and that is coming off the bench.
And Horry didn't hit that shot because it was basically a turn and shoot...Horry has never made one of those in his entire career yet, he definitely has to be squared to the basket to hit his big shots.
All in all, I've seen the Spurs go into the post season hot plenty of times and they end up with a kicked butt, and the worst ones of those have come in years we are trying to repeat....I've got no problems believing this stretch will be forgotten once the post season starts and the Spurs get their rotation set.
Barry clearly would be serving us better than Udoka or Finley right now...
The Spurs are unstoppable, no team can beat them.
Parker was a very good defender last year in the playoffs. He's been an inconsistent regular season defender in the last couple regular seasons. That is true.
Tonight though, Rondo was hitting his jumper like he rarely does. And Parker's responsibility for a chunk of the game was Eddie House ... who he defended well.
I'll go on record and laugh at your post.![]()
Until of course, House hit that wide open 3 pointer that stole the game.
Just keeping it real right?
Telling it like it is. Case closed.
As long as she keeps it to posting...I said the same thing about changing my underwear and boy do I regret that right about now![]()
I think we're fine, the thing is....we came out of the gates with ALL the energy in the world and we got up 20 sumthin points, fine, but I think as the 3rd and 4th came along they got tired, its normal. 8 GAMES IN 11 NIGHTS caught up to them in that 3rd and 4th, but even then they still had a chance to win the game, Timmy goes thru these kinda funks every year but we should all know better than to doubt him. Manu is playing better this year than last year and Tony is coming along fine, Bruce will always be there, Rob can turn it on when it counts, most of these guys are PROVEN in the playoffs, this loss sucks ass and is the worst loss of the year, it hurts alot as a fan, can you imagine has it it as a player? We are only a game away from 8th, but also 3 games from first, the West is crazy, and remember over these next few weeks other teams will have schedules now......

we still got this .
once finley finds his bench seat, we will be fine*
*as long as bones doesnt destroy his leg again*
There is simply no rational reason that the Spurs should not compete for the le this year. The roster, their age, their mental toughness in big games, etc., all point to a strong defense. That foundation trumps whatever bad stretch they may be in the midst of.
That said, I think Parker needs to get focussed and be the leader -- he seems preoccupied somehow (so much for 10 cent psychoanalysis).
Shoog jumped off the bandwagon last year so this is actually a good omen.
At least he can spell Finley right now.
Manu got this.
That Knicks prediction worked well for me last year.
Let's go. V-Crew, where are you? I saw you all jump off the bandwagon simultaneously.
Well, she did lose on bundle on vBookie tonight. Maybe that had something to do with it?
A lot of fans are basing their hopes for this year on what happened last year.
All year long we're not supposed to believe the Spurs are declining because the Spurs will really start playing in the playoffs.
Gosh, I hope so, but I'm tired of watching the Spurs play crappy ball. Even when we're winning we haven't looked very convincing.
Whatever happens, next year this team's gonna have some new faces. I hope we can move away from the idea that the regular season is just a joke. I can't help but admire the Celtics for playing inspired, passionate basketball from day one.
timvp you were believable until you invoked bonner, that just seems way too forced
either ask kori to rally the bravatar nation or tonight we will not be racking the timvp
Nothing you can say will explain why the spurs left Garnett a 8 foot cushion of space to effectively win the game, then not get the rebound when the insanely low probable possibility happens and he misses.
That, on top of running the shot clock out two possessions in a row for no reason was ing stupid, nothing more, nothing less.
Hmm, that Boston prediction worked out pretty well for you too...

That served the Mavs oh so well last year.
We are not currently all right.
HOWEVER,
we MAY be able to right the ship to make the playoffs (which we might well miss if we keep playing like this...) and win out.
We really need someone who can hit an outside shot (thank god Barry is coming back...). We also need to start putting some effort in. Finally, a little respect from the refs (particularly for TIM - why can anyone maul him in the post w/o getting called for a foul?!?) would also help a lot.
another thing, my best friend has done his annual spurs are done rants.
must be a good sign.

True...it was a dark day in the history of the V-Crew.
I think going to the Cayman Islands is making them soft. Next thing you know they'll start drinking Pina Coladas.
Got to say I was surprised...
I just want to ask you people one thing...
Did this loss cost the Spurs a championship? No it didn't.
This team is a championship team and they are not like the other teams.
And frankly...the Spurs usually play well when they are in repeat years....in fact they are usually the favorite to win it all again. This is actually a nice change of pace.
There are no holes in this Spur team...and while they may be old, they are also deep, and IMO, they are totally and thoroughly commited to the repeat, as they realize this might be their last chance to do it.
As for me...thse mofos have given me four championship runs to enjoy, and they have earned my trust.
