I'll bump this once playoffs start. at least we gonna be playing lakers for all the marbles.
i guess its only fitting after this season it would end up in la
without TP = Spurs take the Lakers to 7
with TP = sweep for the Lakers

ing spurs.
r u kidding me. this loss is on Pop. r u serious playing temple n mahinmi for 20+ mins????
You mean Temple who had the highest +/- on the team? That one?
theres not much you can do when the other team hits 90% of their jumpers in the 4th
Temple had the highest +/- because he played with the best players for most of the game, which is why +/- is only a good stat when used with a large sample size..having him on in the last 5 minutes of the game or so is a risky move..
As for playing the Lakers, it's not a lock at all, especially if Dallas wins tonight..
the lakers
He also was one of the only ones attempting defense. That's why I want him in. Not for his shooting. Same thing for Mahinmi. What happened to this being a defense-minded team? Does Mahinmi have bricks for hands when it comes to catching passes? Probably. But he also forces people out of the paint.
No question in my mind the Spurs are finishing 8th at this point. 50 wins is unlikely.
Trail Blazers are going to win tonight and probably Sunday, Spurs are going to lose Saturday. If it's that cut and dried by Monday, might as well sit the key players if not for the last two games, at least the final one.
The Grizz could have beaten the Lakers in LA with Lebron and Kobe playing 48 mins tonight
The Swiss cheese defense in the paint gave them confidence and then their jumpers started falling a.k.a game over
thank you. finally someone gets it. Spurs played great D for the last few games. Then when Parker comes back, Hill gets hurt and Manu gets his contract and SPurs D looks like a ing pussy vagina. goddam!!!!
by the way that's Pop's fault (or so the spur s will say)![]()
Pop had a major part in the poor D tonight..Duncan is the only capable interior defender on this team and by far the best overall defender on this team..limiting his minutes heavily hurts the D, especially when the alternative is a Blair-Bonner frontcourt..
I'm cool with Duncan playing 35+ against the Grizz then another 35+ more tomorrow. I don't think the Pop-o-haters would appreciate it though.
There's a huge difference between 35 minutes and 25 minutes, especially when he only saw 5 of those minutes in the 1st half..
I definitely think Tim should've played more in the first half, I still think it wouldn't have made a difference with the blown lead since Z-Bo got his confidence going against everyone (they had to send double teams even with Tim on the floor in the 2nd half). Just a very poor game through out, from time management to overconfidence to poor defense from the perimeter to the paint, TO's (at the worst times), and 3pt shooting (outside of Bonner).
suddenly i'm ok with the Spurs playing the Lakers.
call me crazy - i know, i'm calling myself crazy - but i think we can beat the Lakers in 7 games.
and if we don't, then who cares, we were going to have to play them anyways.
Bring on the lakers---i have been wanting this matchup all year---
let's give them a beatdown again...FTL!
Bring on the SWAGGER ---no more weak minded crap....
