Hmm, me thinks theres some mighty gigantic fail in this thread.
LOL @ this thread..the OP clearly isn't a Spurs fan, and neither is anybody that agrees with him..either that, or you're ing stupid..
losing to arguably the 2nd best team in the NBA by 1 possesion after Tony Parker misses 2 chip shots..despite them shooting almost 70% from 3's, and getting all the possible help from the officials..
ya, we can't compete with the great teams..give me a break..
spurs are one of the best teams in the league. of course they will find it hard to beat teams like orlando and lakers, but those are two of the best teams in the league.
spurs, regardless of how good they are, can finish with a high seed in the west and come playoff time, well, we know what they can do.
I hate to admit it, but right now, at this point in the season, your assessment is true. Their occasional struggles against top teams (like Orlando) bear this out. It is a bit of a concern. Time will tell as to whether they will be able to topple mighty Fakers.
Ahhh...finally someone who seems to comprehend basic English language.
Thank you!

What about last nights game was not compe ive?
, Pop even admits that himself. Fakers, Cavs and Celtics are in a different stratosphere than the rest of the league. Nothing to be embarassed about. Spurs have to remain healthy, catch a few breaks and play at a consistently high level.
NBA.com apparently disagrees with you.
Their latest power rankings:
1. Cavs
2. Lakers
3. Magic
4. Spurs
5. Celtics
One game means nothing. The playoffs are about locking in and prepping for one team for multiple games. Orlando would not beat the Spurs in a 7 game series. Orlando is hot right now. That is the nature of the regular season in the NBA. Do you think the Spurs would lose to the Bucks in a 7 game series?
To answer the question about why Mason didn't play. Pop probably thought he wasn't the best option. Or, pop was probably trying to see what this lineup would do. Like it or not as Spurs fans, Pop cares more about testing his lineups, learning about the team and improving more than he does with winning at this point in the season.
Pop would rather lose by two, but show a big improvment from game to game than win by 20 and regress. He's that type of guy. When it gets close to the playoffs, the Spurs should be hitting their stride, and we will definitely know everything we have to about this team.
And besides, in the last 19 games, this is only their 4th loss, right?
IMO, people can shove their rankings and stats up their rectums. The only thing that counts is winning.
Winning -ultimately- when it counts, that is.
I'm so sick and tired of this emo threads. Chill people, if we face the Magic in the Finals we'd probably sweep them like we did with the Cavs two years ago.
I'd like to think so.
But I saw NO indication of that last night.
I didn't see any indication either that we were going to sweep the Cavs in the '07 finals in the two regular losses that we had against them that season, but we did.I'd like to think so.
But I saw NO indication of that last night.
The only two teams that the Spurs need to worry about are the Lakers and Celtics.
True. The Spurs way.
I dunno. If the Spurs get past the Lakers, nothing or nobody will stop them. Mark my words.
The 07 Cavs were no where near as good as the Magic are now. The Magic are a legit TEAM.
I also think that if we get past the Lakers the Championship is ours but I added the Celts just in case.
Instead of a sweep it'll be a 4-1 series then. Do you really think that a team with Hedo Turkoglu as the go to guy will beat the Spurs in a 7 G series?
Hmmm...I feel much better now...it is
You're welcomeHmmm...I feel much better now...it is
You're welcome
I think we could win beat them in a 7 game series, but i won't underestimate the Magic. I was really impressed with the way they played as a team. Everyone on their team contributed to last night's win.
And it's a little naive to think that players can't develop. Yes, Hedo was soft when he was a Spur, but I won't completely write him off as a player today.
Hedo is a good player but he still has his choking tendancies, that was shown in the playoffs against Detroit last year when he as expected curled up into a ball.
wow wow wow
