Yup.
The Americans are nowhere near Baghdad.
Thought I might get this started. Some people really need this.

It's only December but we still can't make mistakes on easy passes.
...It`s only January...It`s only before all-star break, we`ll make some run in March and finally advance to post season.... Screw that, game is a game, and I don`t care what month it is. Devner, Boston can win in November, December and in April , so why Spurs always tanking early months of season ?
I'm tired of this december and chemistry talk. For me that's a bunch of BS
What we need is TP and Manu step up their games.
TP is playing pathetic D the whole year and Manu is a TO machine now.
Bonner can't shot against good team, Hill can't play PG, Mason can't play D, RJ is passive waiting for things happens. Pop rotations are horrible
The only player I see bring it every game is Tim Duncan.
I love this thread already...
Problem is, he's the one we want to take it easy during the reg. season...
I don't care if it's april or october, anytime you get 38 turn overs in 2 games that is a ing sad sight.
But yes, at least there's still time to try and fix things
You're bang on.
This team has become a joke and the coach has lost his ing mind these past two years. No player plays 36 minutes despite the fact that they're facing a team better than them. Duncan and Parker carried them throughout and had they played an extra 3-4 minutes the Spurs probably win this game. But who needs a win against a good team (or one period) when you can save 3-4 minutes for your two best players? That will make the difference at the end of the year.
Who gives a how rested any of these guys are if they come in as a 4 or 5 seed (which it's looking like they will be). They will be lucky to win a round in that scenario. For all the areas they've improved, they've regressed in the ones they were good at, so it's all just evened out. They're no better than last year. In fact, they're worse, because as limited as they were, there was a familiarity and a sense of calm in the clutch. Now, that's all gone and they seemingly can't pull out close games.
This season is nothing like any of us thought it was going to be... depressing.
Pussies.
spurs need a true point guard. i am jumping on the trade parker bandwagon. the offense isn't gelling because parker doesn't have the skills to coordinate all the spurs' offensive options. also, ginobili for tmac please.
I`d like the old Spurs. Boring, well organised, stonecold, defending, old etc.
Now we have some riders without head, our PG isn`t creating anything and Pop doesn`t give a about it. That sucks.
They should save the 19 turnovers for teams like the Nets.... If they cut down on turnovers they can beat almost any team.
Spurstalk reaches an all time low
I haven't seen Pop on the sidelines screaming one single time this season.
See thread le...
That's what every team says.
i'm just melting down like i'm supposed to. i have many other brilliant trade ideas like lowry + tmac + battier for parker+ ginobili.
I don't think we need a true PG, maybe one off the bench that will allow Hill play SG
But I just want TP to play the same great basketball he has been playing the last 4 years, that made him a Top 4 PG.
Now his playing terrible D, his shot is MIA and he's TO a lot. I can't tell a game that TP played well for the 48 minutes. He and all other players besides TD have a lot of up and downs with more downs then ups
Pop is reluctant to play the so-called "big five" together, likely due to the lack of floor spacing in this lineup. Jefferson and Ginobili have regressed to their earlier years in the league as far as outside shooting and Duncan, Parker and McDyess aren't reliable outside of mid-range. So in effect, Pop is picking 3-point shooting (even though Bonner has never been reliable against good teams) over rebounding, defense and overall interior play down the stretch of games.
I don't give a how bad Jefferson and McDyess look, Pop is essentially bailing them out with this not playing them together with the big three and limiting their minutes (mainly McDyess). The Spurs are paying these two a combined near $20 million and he's relieving them of pressure. He should be piling it on them and seeing what they're made of. Let's find out for a fact that that lineup is ineffective before cutting the cord on it. Every other team in the league has their best five (within' reason, meaning if 3 bigs are amongst your top 5, one of them will have to sit) finishing games and playing significant minutes together, but not the Spurs. No, they know better...they always do, which is why if not for being extremely lucky they arguably wouldn't have a le in going on 5 years.

Historically Spurs have usually had a good December
it seems like Pops lost his intensity . 48MoH talked about finding the correct equilibrium between playing duncan,manu,parker in restricted minutes and winning games.Pop has to play them a couple more minutes in the second half to close out games
I think right now we cant afford to lose these home games, they are far too valuable. How is the team gonna look when we go on the rodeo road trip
look at PTR
http://www.poundingtherock.com/2009/...spurs-schedule
its sad to see the high hopes for the spurs slowly diminishing
PTR had us at 21-9 at the end of the year...dont think thats gonna happen.
something drastic has to be done either by the FO, pop, or even the players themselves.
I think RJ holds the key to our success. Manu is not playing as himself ,but still definitely can play some ball. RJ just look like a zombie out there.
Really worried about the playoff seed, 50+wins is looking like a long way from here....
just ranting but has to be said
