It is fixable. Trade Parker for a pass -first PG, and get some defensive stopper.
Parker cant play the role of "Pass-first" PG...
Jefferson is too soft and his game doesnt seem to gel well with the Spurs style of play...
Spurs need more playmakers. Bogans,Jefferson,Parker and Hill are not natural playmakers...
Spurs dont have the defensive weapons they once had...
Manu is no longer an all-star...
It hurts to come to these conclusions but Its painfully obvious these are the problems with this current team. I hope that I can be proven wrong but unless these problems are addressed quickly, this Spurs team is going nowhere...

yeah spurs never won a le with tp
oh and d williams 6 turnovers tonight
and jazz scored what 70 points to the heat on the road?
because playoffs start in dec right?
The first 3 don't concern me at all..
The last 2 concern me though..the Manu concern MIGHT be fixable without a move, I'll give him a few more weeks to see if his scoring returns..
the defensive weapons concern is something I've been saying for a while, and a trade is the only thing that will address that, particularly for a mobile big..
I`ve been watching Spurs for whole Duncan era, and didn`t remember if they play such crap ever
Wow that's in-depth. You should write for ESPN.Parker cant play the role of "Pass-first" PG...

Edit : np.
Outrebounded too small. Old team with no play makers!
Spurs team = FAIL!
Bunch of the re s on here that THINK this squad has a chance is full of !
So what if it's barely December... Major changes need to start and trade TD and Manu as a bundle for 3 young talented ballers and let's start over.
Bowen is a big lost.
To me, the offense is not the problem. The Spus shot well enough to win. It's the defense that can't stop the Blazer's third string players on a second night of a back to back. Granted the Blazers made some improbable shots, but you can't ignore the fact that the Spurs looked like the team playing 4 games in 5 nights.
It's not the offense... it's the defense... We again gave up a ton of offensive rebounds...
We even shot better than Portland in the first half, but they had 11 more possessions, so they ended up with more points...
To be honest, losing Bowen was more devastating than we all thought. Tony is sleepwalking on defense, and Manu is trying but his body is just not responding right now...
Jefferson's game is fine for the Spurs, the Spurs just aren't sure who'se coming or going and aren't adapting well to minor injuries that affect their rotation.Parker cant play the role of "Pass-first" PG...

Parker, Hill, Manu, and Mason can all be decent playmakers. Parker had a poor game tonight, and it had nothing to do with the Blazers, really.
Duncan is fine. Duncan played great tonight, despite getting hammered every trip down the lane. He just got very little help, until it was too late.
Spurs beat themselves tonight. They came out like they expected the Blazers to roll over for them because they were depleted, but this was a Blazers team that still had Aldridge, Webster, and Bayless, who have all proven before tonight they can play ball.
It's just one game. The problems of the Spurs are bigger than this one game, but this one game really was just a matter of the Spurs not coming out to play. Nothing more complex than that.
Parker isn't a real PG never will be.
Jefferson used to be a good player ... in crappy teams.... but dude's a looser.Jefferson is too soft and his game doesnt seem to gel well with the Spurs style of play...
lol finals MVP....... this isn't new.... last playoffs???Spurs need more playmakers. Bogans,Jefferson,Parker and Hill are not natural playmakers...
LOL Bruce is old.... LOL Jefferson will be our new "elite" defender.....Spurs dont have the defensive weapons they once had...
LOL Manu......... he's no more..... just erase Manu from your minds.....Manu is no longer an all-star...
You can only say that for seven more days. What will your next excuse be? Its only January?
spurs is a crappy team now
Yeah, like that's going to happen.
Exactly... people need to drop that.
they suck that's for sure. Manu is a shadow of his former self. So many other teams just play a better all around game.
NOT FIXABLE...With Bowen gone, we don't have someone to stop or slow down guys like Bayless (Career Night). The output tonight was pathetic! Outhustled, outcoached and outplayed by a younger, hungrier, less experienced, and less manned team!
Trade them 5 years ago, okay they won two les in those years! Yes trade them before you you get #3 and #4......
Damn I made this thread thinking they werent gonna lose this game either....
Sad day to be a Spurs fan.
I'm not sure why people want Tony traded? He's only 27 and just beginning to peak. I agree, he's been a joke thus far, but for the last three years, he has been the catalyst for the spurs offense.
Trading TP would be a mistake because the spurs won't get equal value in return. It would be like starting over.
