Props to coming back in the second half. But our guys need to win at least a couple of these games against good teams right now.
2 seasons ago, the Suns won the season series [3-1] against the Spurs...the playoffs that year were a completely different story. Win some...lose some...I'm sure the coaching staff will have plenty to rant about given the missed defensive assignments, wide open 3 balls, and poor ball movement in the 1st and 4th quarter.
S.A. made a uva run there. This and the other previous 3 losses prove that its not a mountain they need to climb, just make some adjustments. I know...I know...it sucks hearing that crap almost every time they lose a close one, but the silver lining is that they're getting there. This team is capable of doing the job if they can get consistent. The rest of the month seems like a gimme. If all goes well, they'll enter the new year 20-10.
How about Tim takin over though. He still owns Amare.![]()

Pretty much...
i would agree. parker is graet, but he's mediocre when you compare his offensive contributions AND defensive.
question is, would you have him, vs. a player who contributes solely on offense, or defense?
He's still amazing.
Why should they...it's only December...![]()
Yeah, Tim is just incredible. Sucks that he had to play 35 minutes for this with a game due tomorrow though.
I don't think it was such a bad call from Pop to put Tony bck in the game...
A bad start of a game doesn't means a bad ending! we've seen that so many times...
Had he been efficient, (at least offensively) it'd have been a great coaching...
and as good Hill is on D, he is not even close to Tony on offense...
Anyway, we lost this one, let's hope Tony shows some pride tomorrow!
I'm way much worried about RJ production and Manu's shape right now...
You could make a necklace out of all the silver linings...
Agree, but 18-7 is just better than what we have at the moment. Not that it's Duncan's fault. He is playing great as usual.
Tony, RJ, and Manu all folded tonight. Spurs lost the first quarter and were playing catchup the entire game.
Just be glad we have Tim or our record would be much worse. He was awesome tonight. Roger wasn't half bad either, it's nice to see him hit his shots again.
I'm harsh on Parker because he's the second best player on the team and isn't playing like it. Higher expectations, you know.
Manu's body isn't what it used to be so I can't blame him for being made out of glass. It's out of his hands.
Jefferson's the real joke here but I've come to expect so little out of him that I'm not surprised when he has a ty performance.
Tony is a volume shooter.
Doesn't anyone realize this? The only way he starts making shots is when he takes a lot of shots to get in rhythm then he is lethal, but if he shots sporadically he can't hit any shots. He's just a bad shooter. He won't start making shots unless he gets a lot of shots and that would mean he'd have to freeze everyone out to do it, which would be a detriment to the team.
Does anyone else not see this? Tony cannot just take a shot here and there and make it.
I think that if you want to make a career in the NBA, you need ONE STRENGH.
Offense or defense, you choose, but a better defender than Tony with a worst offense will never be as succesful...
But if you wanna know, as a french guy who has followed Tony's career since he signed at the age of 17 in Paris ("PSG Racing"), I'm just AMAZED by what he achieved already,
I mean with his skinny body, no jump, no D, no real playmaker...
Except following his opponent all the court, he has NEVER been a natural defender!
It's all on the Spurs you ing sucker.
Most of us are getting on the players. I mentioned the refs once of twice, but that didn't cost us the game. Why don't you off and go watch some more Mavs choke jobs on video tape.
ING CLOWN.
question for Spurs fans. If the team doesn't pick it up and start winning and Duncan decided to ask to be moved to a contender so he can finish his career on a high, would you be mad?
I am assuming not many would be because he has given so much to the franchise already.
TD would never ask for a trade anyway. He already has rings and loves it in SA. I was just wondering what the ST reaction would be if the unlikely happened
totally agree.
im just confused on what happened to all those easy layups in transition he used to get... i know tony cant shoot the jumper at a consistent level. everyone knows that. but he used to get so many easy layups.. this is what im confused about.
Exactly man. He just gets stuck to the ground everytime and he somehow recovers and gets back into the play with his long arms that bail him out.
Good one!!!
anyone can say what they want.. if it ever came down to that.. i would predict over 60% of st move with him. lmao
Again where the did I say all on him.
I said Ducks won't at least give him 1 ing percent of the blame. Ducks is insane if he won't even give Tony 1% of the ing blame.
Was Parker injured last year cause his defense has sucked ass since last season.
You can't tell me that TP can't play defense cause I've seen him do it. You said he'll never be as good as Hill on defense. Well I have seen him do it, and do it just as good in the playoffs.

Yeah, Tim Duncan remembers me time and time again why he is the greatest Power Forward to ever play the game.
Jefferson and Ginobili played like **** though. Parker got it going at times, but he should have played much better.
Roger Mason was awesome tonight, nailing 3 balls from everywhere. Hill was good and Blair was a beast. Although I am happy we cut a 20 point lead to 3, we still need to learn how to play better Defense and keep our momentum going. I can't totally blame the Spurs though, because the Suns got a lot of phantom calls down the stretch.
Oh well, we still got more rings.![]()
TD would never betray his loyalty to SA and us fans would never, ever betray Tim either. Now we do have some girlieboyz on our team we would trade. Hope this helps.
