thank you Orlando's tired ass ing legs.

[baseline bum]

Seriously awful performance.

We made so many stupid mistakes.

The NBA as a whole is pretty darn bad right now.

The NBA is like pizza though: even when it's bad, it's still pretty good (excluding LeBron's Cavs teams; those were unwatchable).

[ffadicted]

This ing game, so close all along, glad we came out with a win

[spectator]

also, the heat crew was pretty bad. remember that charge on miller in the 4th qtr - the one when his left foot is clearly at least 6 inches in the air - they were going bonkers about the call; dude just got bailed out by the refs

probably no one was watching at that point anyway

[DPG21920]

It's unreal how pop has abandoned his principles. Players only respond to being on for so long.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Yeah I guess.

I just cant stand us making so many horrible plays, even if we win it still hurts and leaves a putrid taste.

Finally!

Oh and Tony Parker was so mad at RJ throughout this game that I thought his head was going to explode

There was one possession where Parker was signalling RJ to move from the right corner 3pt line and RJ just stared at him for 2 seconds with a pissed off look before finally moving lol.

[LakerHater]

Dwight Howard to ref about Tim Duncan:

Hes got his knee in my ass the whole game!

[GSH]

We sucked less than they did. But, hey, our stifling defense held them to 33.3% for the game, which means we should move up several places in the rankings. So that's good.

[pgardn]

Cant we just a blow a team playing poorly out? Crush someone early on.

Yesterday we just left the course. Tonight, we looked at how bad the other guy was and decided to play through.

A couple of fat boxers just laying on each other waiting for the other to fall...
And both teams have winning records.

[adonis827]

totally outrebounded. lucky win but we will take it

[DPG21920]

I know the spurs were sucking on the road but all the west is. Tough goings.

[FkLA]

Nice analogy, CBF ..WIRE is my favorite.

I know you guys don't agree with Pop or his rotations. But you guys had the West's best record last year. you guys are in 1st place in the division this year, without Manu for most of it.

The guy is still a great freaking coach. And though Mike Brown is growing on me, he is no Pop. Just a smiling, shucking and jiving copy.
Another coach and you guys might be just a 8 seed in the West. Respect the man, he is proven. Many said it was all Duncan and Bob hill could of won with the le teams ...
but Duncan is fading (nice stretch of games lately though told yall he is not done) and you guys are STILL winning.

Kiss his rings ... es!!! You guys aren't better coaches than the future HOFer ...

I agree that alot of the Pop hate on here is ridiculous, he has been crucified on here for not playing scrubs like Hairston or even someone like Mahinmi which is pretty dumb. That doesnt mean he doesnt deserve to be criticized though, playing Bonner over Splitter for example is inexcusable. It just makes no sense at all especially when Bonner is shooting 35% from deep.

[DPG21920]

Neither Ian or Malik are scrubs.

[jjktkk]

Neither Ian or Malik are scrubs.

One is flawed, ones not in the league, but meh. I'd actually like to have the flawed one in a Spurs uniform right now.

[FkLA]

Malik was a scrub, fringe NBA player at best. I wouldnt put Ian on the same boat as hes having a decent year in Dallas but I dont think he was ever the difference maker ST made him out to be. His defense is nothing special despite his size and athleticism.

I think the big reason, is the Bonner hate, and that Ian could be helping right now, but yea I never understood all the Mahmni love.

[Borosai]

I just gotta say... Jefferson's body language out there wasn't good. To the bench.

[TDfan2007]

Neal, Bonner, and RJ with so many open misses but Neal hit it when it counted.

They all count. I get sick of hearing that...

[ElNono]

I just gotta say... Jefferson's body language out there wasn't good. To the bench.

I'm with you. He did make an important basket in OT. But he sleepwalked through the game, like he wasn't there... TP got really mad at him.

There was one play where he was just walking back, while Green had to dodge him while running back and almost getting a steal on Jameer Nelson. I thought the contrast in at udes was remarkable.

Malik was NOT a scrub. He could play.

[FkLA]

He would still be in the league if he was anything more than a fringe NBA player.
