It was. I'm upset about the loss. But if I had the chance, I would go through that experience again. I will just tune out after Novak failed to inbound.![]()

Yep. Some Blazer fan took the Phoenix route and kept calling the Spurs "cheaters" when the refs didn't call a foul. Sucks they had the last laugh.
If anything you could have pulled out the "4 rings got!" comment.

yeah. After that, I just stood up every time the Spurs made a basket and cheered. It was my first Spurs game so I couldn't talk trash like I do in game blogs. I was trying to take it all in. I definitely want to do it again.
I watched the whole game on replay with League Pass where the made shots are always shown on the timeline. I always push the button to hide that, but before I did I saw the blue "D" at the end of the timeline (after minutes of no made shots).
Then it was 0.9 seconds to go and I was in joy ... wow, we will this game by an alley oop dunk ... and then Novak throws the ball away. in unbelievable.
I blame this one on Pop (just because small ball gives you the lead, should not mean to bench Splitter and Dice for the whole 4th quarter) and on Manu/TP for getting their pocket picked so often in the 4th ... should not happen to veterans!
I just watched the game as I had to work and I cannot believe it. I cannot believe it. Cannot believe we lost that game.
I guess this has already been discussed but POP IT A TOTAL ING RE for not playing Splitter good minutes in the 4th quarter. ing choker of a coach.
LOL anyone want to go to the chatroom????? U got time to chat Fireball? Anyone else? I'll be in the chatroom.
I have never been this mad after a game for a LONG, LONG TIME.
i usually get pissed off when we lose but i was besides myself last night. never felt that angry (that i can remember).
Spurs now 2-8 in last 10 meetings with Portland. they own us.
game was lost on giving Portland 24 points off of 19 turnovers.
Portland Trailblazers 98, San Antonio Spurs 96: A perfect storm of errors

You know how Kobe Bryant can take so many bad shots at the end of games, but the ones he hits are so spectacular people tend to forget the many more he misses, while the heroics are forever etched in their minds? Well this was the complete opposite of that.
There was quite a bit of positive to take from this Spurs game, especially in the fourth quarter, that no one will remember because the San Antonio Spurs botched things so spectacularly bad down the stretch.
Call it the anti-Kobe clutch theory. Sean Elliott called it a perfect storm of errors. That’s what it took for the Spurs string of misery to continue in Portland even after outshooting the Blazers, almost drawing even on the boards, and holding LaMarcus Aldridge to 14 points.
Three turnovers in the last minute, all leading to points quick points for the Blazers. The final one with less than a second left on a botched inbounds pass that setup a brilliant alley-oop pass from Andre Miller to Nicolas Batum that, again, displayed terrible execution from the Spurs.

This should've been a Spurs win, but a series of turnovers in the last seconds just ruined the game.

...“We said we were going to switch everything, but there was not really a pick,” Parker said. “You can say ‘if’ until the end of the world. It was just a great play for Portland.”

“We just have to move on,” Parker said.
As a fan im struggling to let it go. Awful way to lose. Saw glimpses of this in the Dallas game. Teams leaders in Manu and Tony thought they already had it sewn up and got complacent. For an exprienced team and the coach, you can only hope it's a wake-up call.
Pop's lack of faith in Splitter for second halfs of games after playing great first halfs is getting ridiculous. Finishing off with Novak on the in-bounds play is over-coaching.
crofl what a ty prediction.
