Spurs have the fifth toughest SOS up to this point in the season (according to the link you've provided).
I haven't panicked. It's a January game that was the 4th in 5 nights tbh.
Honestly, who cares about this game? What does this say about the Spurs? They can't shoot when they're tired? The variables that go into these games are not worth looking at. I'm not saying its a great stat to have, but this team will really start rounding into form in March.

Yes. And who are the teams above them? The Nuggets, Hornets, Rockets, and Kings. Those teams sound like contenders to you?
Spurs have the worst point differential against these top teams.
It is not only this game. I am seeing a pattern.
And they were up by like 12 against NY with 6 mins left in San Antonio. Game they shouldve won. The Clippers game in San Antonio we lost by like 3-4 points IIRC. Its really not that big of a deal imo, especially in early January.
Getting blown out on the road vs elite teams is nothing new, thats been happening for a couple of years.
still plenty of games to be played....will see the results at the end of the season....
also b2b games
The Heat game was a tank job so it's not relevant to the discussion. Neither is the second Knicks game(away back-to-back on top of four games in five nights). Being 1-1 against the Thunder is encouraging seeing as they're leading the NBA at the moment. The biggest concern are the Clippers games - SA hasn't looked good at all against them and there's a large possibility we could play them in the post-season.
ah I misread the post I originally quoted. It happens...
Keep playing the back to back and tired card. Because of course that works wonderfully for them every year.
Spurs is top 5 in defensive and offensive ratings
This team has proven time and again they cant contend come playoff time. Stats count for nothing in the playoffs.
Teams adjust during the playoffs, Spurs seem not to like they think what they have would be enough. Same thinking has gotten them ass ed the past 2 years.
And that is why this team is going nowhere anytime soon.
Depending on Splitter, Diaw and to an extent Jackson is a joke in itself.
Jax gets injured by the slightest mistep so I wouldn't count on him to be there when it counts.
Miami rotation is not the best, is nowhere near that but they chip in when it matters and yes I would take theirs over the joke lineup in Splitter+Diaw+Jackson just based on the fact that their "joke" rotation already have a championship while this one has been trying 3 years running and nothing to show for it.
too bad those 4 games didn't take away 4 of the loses to these elite teams.
the fact is that when the Spurs go up against the NBA's best they have not performed. take away the Heat game but while you're at it take away the OKC game, as it was the 2nd game of the season and they were barely getting use to being without Harden.
oh and i believe the Grizzlies were on a back to back when we beat them. what else do you guys want to discount?
spurs got stomped get over it
atleast we dont have to worry about being regular seasons champs this time around
creation88 might be the only person on here who gets it
the only pattern i see is we are vulnerable on back to backs and when we have 4 games in 5 nights.
jump off a cliff
All the losses on back to backs.
They needed a last second shot to get one of the wins. Splitter- Bonner- Diaw frontline lol
Miami isn't going to beat us because their bench is THAT much better than our bench. They'd beat us because their first option on offense(Lebron) is much better than our first option(Parker). That's no slight against Parker either - it's just the nature of the game. Point guards don't lead teams to championships.
The team was 2 wins away from the Finals last year and was riding like a 20 game winning streak, dumbass. They went toe to toe with OKC. That would hardly be considered an ass ing.
Theyre playing better defense. Timmy looks rejuvenated. Tiago is a bigger part of the team. Not saying theyre a lock to win the West, but to say the have absolutely no shot is just stupid considering how close they were just a season ago.
fkla is a delusional fan. what have the spurs done this season to make you think they will get past the 2nd round? can you point to a signature win? hmmmm. didn't think so.
It's not a good sign, but regular season is practice most of all. Specially this early. Neither of the big 3 played more than 23 minutes.
