Over the last 20 years that I've been a fan of this team, there have definitely been down times and frustrations, but I honestly cannot recall ever being as frustrated as this year. I actually get no pleasure out of watching this team; to think I was looking forward to this season so much. The small ball, the lack of defense--so maddening. It's like nobody learns anything from the rapidly-mounting losses. I'll always be a Spurs fan, but unless something miraculous happens this is going to go down as one of my least favorite teams.

Entertaining game - just the wrong outcome. Oh well - another disappointing loss. This is getting to be the rule, rather than the exception. I miss the old days when the Spurs defense would just smother the other team and they'd win these kinds of games.

Alas - those days are over... I miss Bruce!

I miss old Pop even more.

holly crappppp spurssss suckkkkkk cant beat the bulls at home, hate to see

[toki9]

Anyone else miss PJ?

[Crookshanks]

Dice actually had a pretty decent game - but Timmy didn't. I miss the Twin Towers.

[HarlemHeat37]

Well, at least I made 225$ LOL..these losses don't really bother me anymore, I've lowered my expectations by a lot..

I have absolutely no idea how odds makers had the Bulls at +350, that's absolutely ridiculous..any consistent gambler that isn't betting against the Spurs @ home right now isn't doing it right..

This team isn't good, they shouldn't be favored to beat any decent team by more than 1 or 2 points..

Pop can't run a game winning play ever.

We should have went for a 3.

Definitely agree.

Manu decided to drive way too early on that play, and while it was clearly a foul, was also very contested.

[Thompson]

WTH is wrong with league pass broadband?! EVERY FREAKING TIME the game is close, it lags out at the end and I miss everything. The OKC game and about 7-10 other games, it screws me over. It never did this to me last year, and I'm using the same hardware and ISP. I could have strangled an NBA techie to death if they'd been in the same room with me.

Is anyone else having this problem?

[Chieflion]

I can't say I am not disappointed. Oh, and it is 27 January.

[Budkin]

I don't think I've ever seen us lose 3 in a row at home in the Tim Duncan era... un- ing real.

[Crookshanks]

I think Pop has lost his love of coaching, and the only reason he's still here is because Timmy is. He just doesn't seem as passionate this year and he's not doing a very good job.

[easy7]

Well, if it wasen't for the Manu save against the hornets, the Spurs would have lost 6 out of the last 6...

[XFactor]

Anyone know when the last time Bulls swept the Spurs?

[TIMMYD!]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaahahaha hahahahaahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahh ahahhahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahhahahahahhaha hhahahahhahahhahahhahahahhahahahhahahahhahahhahahh ahahahhahahhahahahhahahhahah


That is how laughable we are.

Is it possible this team can go 0-6 on this home stretch? their next 3 opponents arent gonna be easy. these 3 games the spurs lost were freebies they should have won.

[siraulo23]

**** Pop

**** small ball

[tp2021]

I wonder if the players themselves understand just how pathetic they look.

Its over halfway thru the season, and they are still being outplayed by "inferior" teams. Perhaps the Spurs are only superior on paper; they sure look like an inferior team right now.

I think the last time was 9 years ago...

I don't agree - these Bulls just beat the Suns and the Rockets. And Utah is always a tough game. But it still sucks!

[Johnny RIngo]

I would absolutely love to see which other coach could have gotten a lineup of a hobbled Tim, Bonner, Finley, Mason, TP to 50 wins last year.

The Spurs players over-achieved last year(Parker, Mason, Bonner all had career years). We have a much more talented team this year but Pop and his dumbass small-ball keeps killing any chance for us to be compe ive.

[Chieflion]

And Atlanta is next and boy they look good and lead their division.

[KuntryDude]

i totally agree w/ bringing the twin towers back. I've been preaching this since last season (mid-season). I would love if we could fish for Bosh or Stoudamire. The small ball will definitely be our downfall this season...bad lost 2nite!

[Crookshanks]

What's really sad is that I don't even look forward to watching the games any more - I only watch because I paid $100 to get League Pass broadband!

You know Spurs have as much of a chance to win a game of the next 3 at home as the Generals have of beating the Globetrotters who will be in town soon.
