The Spurs just got owned by a back up PG and are on the verge of being swept. Not sure what criteria cons utes embarrassment for you, but that's pretty damn close for me.
well someone has to take the blame
and it usually starts with the coach in most sports, so when is pop gettin replace or his untouchable?
3 seasons now and still counting no silverware

At home, in a season-defining game.
More like their bench players stepping up and our starters getting tired.
The 'pretty easy' first round opponent beat them twice, once in their home court. By that rationale, their second round opponent has been much easier.
Ryhmes with Fefferson.
Fellow Spurs fan,
I am speechless like a lot of you. I truly believe the Spurs fought hard. Duncan, Parker, Ginobli all gave their best. But Nash and Grant Hill shot over Duncan like there is no tomorrow really kills me. It also pains (I mean "PAIN") me to see that player like dragic, dudely, or Frye played like Larry Bird or R. Miller.
I think the father time has caught up with Duncan for sure. I still love Parker & Ginobli and Pop. But they have to let Jefferson, Mason, Bonner go. George Hill needs to realize that he is not a super star (at least not yet), so he needs to shoot more than 8,000 shots this summer. As a fan, I am extremely depressed.
Final words, Nash and Grant Hill are two players with class, so I wish them good luck. Amare is an excellant player also, to be able to play like this after having a micro-fracture surgery several years ago is just unbelievable. Other than that, I really can't say that I like the rest of the team, especially Alvin Gentry and his smirk.
Manu just dropped 'embarrassing' in the press conference...
he's in coma
Me neither. The Suns are playing very well and the Spurs look like they only had a good month or so in them. You just have to throw your hands up in the air when a reserve point guard pours in 27 points in a half.
Maybe next year they can bring in a little help and give them a bit more of a chance.
Man, i feel deflated.
He's one of maybe three or four players that should NOT be embarrassed. If the whole team played with his heart, the Spurs would beat the Suns and the hobbled Lakers. He showed he wanted to win. I can't say the same for the majority of the team.
Damn y'all Spurs needa blow the team up and start all ova.
Manu shld not be embarrassed.
He along with Duncan & Mcdyess did pretty well. TP. GHill, RJ sucks..
It's obvious it's not our yr. If they can survive( 15% chance) this series I think, they will be too exhausted to face the Lakers. Just like they last time they met after that 7-game series vs the Hornets.
What equation brought you to 15% chance?
I like Bonner, he did it well all series. Unfortunately TP, RJ NOT. THANKS MANU, we are in playoffs because of you, hey people, don't forget it, without Manu Spurs must be on vacation now. This is sad but true, we can't overcome it, think about next year. Trade RJ now.
Of course it's embarrassing. This is the same team that beat Dallas 4-2, right? Yet we've given the Suns confidence because Pop's defensive schemes are getting shredded.
There are things we haven't even tried defensively because Popovich is too stubborn. You heard Manu say tonight, "We decided to switch, and they attacked our switches."
People, we switched for 48 minutes. We never even tried anything different. No doubling of Nash, no trapping of Nash, no guards fighting through the screen, and no zone or zonish defense to slow down Nash.
But what we did see was Nash shredding us with jumpers against Tim all night long, or if he got bored with that, he'd dribble into the lane, and all our defenders are watching him instead of the three-point line. Splash - another three-ball.
Believe me it's only the % that I can give if only Duncan & Manu can deliver and those other guys won't do something to help..sorry. I'm just speechless right now.
When everything the opponent throws up to the basket goes in (60% on 3's) SA's players just kind of threw up their hands. It was an embarrassing performance from the second quarter on.
Phoenix is a decent team, but SA gave them all kinds of space out there to shoot. Lousy defensive effort.
Duncan can't carry the team anymore. He and Ginobili needed help and did not get it from anyone but McDyess
The Spurs basically need a shane battier type player. someone that can hit threes and play against perimiter guys who catch fire. that's the difference this year. Manu, TP, and Tim don't have a realiable 3-man that can make the defense pay for collapsing. it's been a staple in the Spurs offense since Pop came in, and it's led to a bunch of success. it's no coincidence that the team hasn't been successful without it. sure, there are a bunch of other things that didn't go right for the Spurs regarding errors, but it's the SYSTEM that has changed that has been the downfall of this team.
all season long i thought rj didn't fit with this team, an it's being proved right. guy just doesn't have the skill-set needed for this team. he needs to go ahead and give J Kidd a sloppy bj for getting him that contract of his, because the guy is really, really average.
time to start looking ahead to next season. i really believe that the core of this team has more left in them. it's whether they can trade RJ this season that will determine everything. i would HATE to go into next season with RJ. it would be dejavu and the wrong kind.
