Thanks NewJerSpur for giving me faith and the rest of us. I understand that this game was not a playoff game, but we can't just say this game didn't mean nothing because it did. It said that we got beat 2 out of 3 games. It could've been all 3 games but we got lucky the second one.
The lakers take it a whole nother level in the playoffs especially Kobe. I'm afraid we don't have the mental toughness to compete. Even with the new aquistions they are too young and lack experience. Every game the Duncan is playing he is getting older and needs rest for the playoffs. I'm afraid he won't have enough in him when we meet them in the playoffs.
1) The Spurs take their play to another level during the playoffs as well.
2) The Spurs current foundation was built on mental toughness.
3) Only Hill is truly "young and inexperienced" out of the bunch.
4) I repeat, if Duncan has a leg to stand on he'll be ready for the playoffs.
5) Anytime.
Have the playoffs started yet? I thought this was just another meaningless regular season game in which Pop was ing up with his rotations and game plan.
Do you not watch games? Do you only look at boxscores? Is this your first season being a Spurs fan? If not, then you should know better.

True...but we don't have home court advantage. I can't shake off what happened last year. And nothings changed except for injuries
We've won before without locking up HC throughout the playoffs.
Yes I am a spurs fan. I'm being a real one with realistic views and opinions. Did you not watch this game tonight? Stop with the pop is experimenting with his lineup or what not. Kobe simply can't be stopped. We need to focus on the role players. Because the sure as stepped up tonight.
Am I the only one in here telling like it is?
No your not telling it like it is. Your a lakers fan who registered and posed as a spurs fan to rub it in that we lost today...and why did you do this? because you wanted us to agree with you to make yourself less paranoid and feel better about the fact that the spurs are gonna creep up on your team like a mother er.
lol
true that true that
imagine a manu with 20 points up his sleave
drhouse, is that you?
we lost by less then 10 with no MANU, hav u come to realize this admission?? duncan is stilll banged up, we just neeed energy and our 3rd best scorer, it will be fine
:cliffjumper
The truth hurts, even an implosion has broken out inside the spurs' fan base... But I don't think you spurs fans need to take too much grief for losing a game the spurs were supposed to lose. Spurs wouldn't have beaten the lakers even if Manu hadn't been sidelined. It's an inevitable destiny for spurs to lose to lakers, and it's also their destiny to beat the suns every time facing them. the relation between spurs, suns and lakers is just like "stone, scissors and cloth".
although spurs lost the game to lakers, they are still standing at the 2nd place in the west and the spurs won't meet with the lakers in the 1st and 2nd round if spurs can keep this standing till the end of the regular season. spurs still will have a big chance to appear in the WCF for the 3rd straight time, surviving the first 2 rounds will definitely earn enough broadcasting reward for the spurs' cheapass owner.
on the real, the lakers got blown out by the blazers, do you think they should tank?Even with the new acquisitions of Hill, Mason, and Gooden. We are still no match for the Lakers. I want to be optimistic, but the Lakers are even better then they were last year. It seems like they aren't even intimidated by us anymore. They feel like they can beat us anytime they want.
And to think they were playing a back to back on our home floor. The last game was a close one and we managed to pull through with a win even though we got lucky with mason's 3pt play and the refs calling a travel on Ariza when he only took 2 steps and got fouled. This season could've been an easy sweep for the Lakers. Which is why im worried. I was optimistic last season because the spurs just dissapointed me in the end.
We are too old and Kobe is just too good. Its time to face the facts and not Hate but congradulate cause I seriously enjoyed watching them play today and I'm a die hard spurs fan. Just being real. Lets hope for a western conference rematch...or lets just hope we dont get swept!!!
LOLgreat picture.
Face it. The Lakers are just the better team. They have won 6 out of the last 8 games between the two teams since last playoffs and one of the spurs win was on a last second shot.
Michael Finley outscored Kobe Bryant and the Lakers still won. Anything else?
You ing emo pussies. you.
FTL.
The Fakers are far from invincible. We saw how Boston literally dismantled them last year. However, they did it with a combination of great defense and timely offense.
It's troubling because the Spurs have somehow lost their defensive selves this year. Much has been the result of the limited play and slight decline of Bowen and poor health of Duncan - our best two defensive players. Pop has seemingly traded defense for offense, yet expects the same results.
My point is that it's troubling to see how some other teams can exploit the Fakers weaknesses, yet the Spurs seem unable to do the same. That game on Thursday was no different that what we watched last spring. Spurs holding their own in the backcourt, yet getting outquicked, outhustled, outrebounded, and outmuscled on the frontline.
As of now and until further notice, the Fakers are simply a bad matchup for the Spurs. Maybe Gooden, and the return of Manu, helps "tilt the scales" a bit, but for now it's discouraging to watch.
the spurs are RIGHT THERE with LA...if we wouldn't have had TP and Manu go down early in the season, we'd be neck and neck with LA, Boston, Orlando, and Cleveland in the standings. INSPITE of all of our injuries and lack of consistency, we are still right there! people get too worried about blowouts or close losses...they mean nothing! it's late in the season, we need to be more worried about getting healthy and getting in rythum...
...as far as our window, that's a really, really subjective argument...Phoenix, Dallas, and Houston's windows are closing, if not closed...we've been one of the most winningest franchises in all of sports in the last 10 years and will be among the best in the NBA this season, next season, and probably the season after that. the answer to your question is NO.
valid point
in addition, i would say the most important thing will be execution down the stretch...we didn't do that well yesterday and it cost us.
lol @ the insecure laker trolls who feel the need to come up with new usernames...... very entertaining indeed....
Panic thread. Move on.
I'm thrilled we came within 2 points considering that donkey- of a first quarter that we played. I thoroughly enjoyed the game, loss or no loss. It was fun to see Gooden's cameo, it was fun to watch Tony shooting the 3, it was fun to watch Fin heat it up from beyond the arc. It was a compe ive game that we narrowed from an 18-point blowout to a single-digit loss, and when the game was over our guys walked off that floor with their heads held high.
So sack up, you pussies. We're just getting started.
we had it down to a 2 point game without Ginobili, and Duncan and Mason played like crap..........we'll be fine.
the thing that kills us against the lakers is rebounding, we don't rebound for against them.........hopefully Gooden can help
