Ginobili's FG% on the last 6 games: 27.1% (16/59)
This kind of slump at that stage of the season is damn worrisome.
The Heat? Not at all. For being the best player on earth, Lebron James gets half the respect that Kevin Durant does when it comes to free throws. It's really quite baffling.The Heat is clearly #1
Then the 3 you mentioned are after them.
The Heat aren't ref-coddled at all.
OKC is obviously ref coddled. I'd put Houston (really Harden) and Denver up as ref-coddled teams before I mention Miami.
That's why I'd think an OKC/Denver matchup would be interesting. For whatever reason. Denver tends to get a kind whistle (especially at home) at or near the level of OKC. Is it because George Karl is so well respected in the league? I really don't know. Denver has 0 marketable superstars. Their television market isn't all that impressive (to my knowledge). But, for whatever reason, they consistently get a kind whistle.
But again, the Miami Heat are middle of the pack in terms of reffing, at least this season.
Sure, there were some travesties in the past in favor of Miami (particularly in that Celtics/Heat playoff series in 2012), but by and large this season they haven't really been coddled by the refs all that much.
Big problem right now. I think that's what's holding him back the most right now.Ginobili's FG% on the last 6 games: 27.1% (16/59)

Assholes.
Tonight's loss REALLY hurt. Especially when we could've gone up 6 points when Green got blocked on a layup attempt. Now we have a brutal schedule coming up with Denver, LA Clippers, Miami, Memphis, Orlando, and OKC. I would be happy as if they could somehow go 4-2 in those next 6 games...
I said the same thing to my fiancé during the game. He has gotten a little better recently, but tonight sent him back to the preseason.
Not even mad about this loss, here... I thought we played well enough to win it, and I thought TP is starting to get back in rythm. The defense was there. Houston is a legit playoff team. Move to the next one.
For some reason I feel the upcoming games will go horrible and we will see what our team isI just do not get a good feeling about this stretch coming up for some reason. I feel 3-3 at best. Denver is very tough now, Clippers will be tough! Miami forget it, we will lose that one IMO. Memphis at their house! . OKC at their house, . I feel the way this team is playing they lose a few of those and lose that #1 seed ranking.
Nut up, Spurs fans. The next games are going to be tough, but the Spurs have always come out ready after tough losses. Tonight was a tough loss. I'm sure they will bounce back. At least TP seems to be rounding into form. The only real concern on the team is Manu.
It was distressing to see that the Spurs didn't get a better executed play at the end of the game. Having Duncan take a rushed-off-balance shot is hardly the best shot possible in that situation.
It happened before. I don't get it either.
4.5 seconds left and the Spurs can't get a decent look? Oh, well...next game...
Sometimes coaches get too cute and out-think themselves. The rationale probably goes "everyone expects us to run the play for our best player". Guess what? The borderline-playoff Houston Rockets just did the exact same thing and were successful with it.
I agree, not with the stupid plays they have drawn up late in games.
