Look at them tonight, did they look sharp to you?
Shutting down players isn't going to solve anything, we're a few weeks before playoffs start and a few days of rest isn't going to turn Parker back into a beast. He's hurting both physically and mentally, didn't attack the basket and was ten ive tonight. Goes to show what we can expect in the PO, bench is going to have to wake up and score.

F*ck this season, I'm sorry but if you thought 2011 had a bad ending this year might be worse.
It bothers me because they looked terrible once again. I feel bad for Duncan.
I didnt say they looked sharp and I didnt say this game was for them to "sharpen up". I said it was a game to get a run in a bit without overdoing it..
That was a pathetic performance regardless of the injuries. I would've felt better if the lineup was Joseph, Neal, Green, Bonner and Blair. This team embrasses you as a fan, more often, than a team with their level of accomplishments should. At times they have no hunger, desire, focus, or dare I say it, a "Kobe" like will to win! Individually, Timmy does, but this team as a whole, doesn't. This isn't a meltdown, it's more like a feeling of disgust or utter disdain.
blair and bonner combining for 40 minutes
There was no good reason to play any of the key players if you weren't legitimately trying to win.
parker, it looks more like a mental thing he looks out of it, must be having personal problems, even though he did look slow, he commited stupid turnovers
First game of playoffs is next Saturday/Sunday.
Spurs better get their together FAST because the Rockets are not going to be easy at all.
is there any hope that tp will suddenly get close to 100% before the POs?
what exactly is wrong with him? last time he didnt play he was listed having a sore neck?
The loss does bother me. Spurs have nothing to look forward to in the postseason, so I was looking forward to seeing the Lakers not participating.
I am consoled by kobe's severe injury tho. ye gods, basketball gods. you've done good work today.
If Pop wanted to win maybe he would've had TP (No matter how bad he looked) and Splitter in the final 5 mins instead of CoJo and Bonner defending Gasol...
They were playing terrible before the Miami game actually...choking against the Rockets, unable to close games.
I already said this season was looking like 2011 all over again but everybody wanted to pretend the team was alright. You can't really call yourself a contender if you can't close games and this team has looked AWFUL in the last two minutes of every game for the past month.
This team is not going to do anything in the playoffs beyond the first round in it's current state. I did not see the game, but it sounds like Parker is totally messed up physically. This team has had a wonderful regular season, but unlike last year, the key players outside of Duncan are not in a good way. Tony Parker is an All-NBA performer and the ac ulated beating he has taken recently has robbed him of his normal ability. It's pretty obvious that the Spurs have been dealt a very tough situation at the end of the year again, just like in 2011.
I hate that the Spurs are not able to do what they are capable of doing and have done all year long. It's a shame. What makes it worse is that the veteran core guys are not going to get more opportunities at the playoffs and two rounds with the HCA.
Bottom line, this is what happens to 30 something basketball players. They get hurt more often.
BTW, this situation has nothing to do with Stephen Jackson - he has been awful all year long.
Or maybe TP was so hobbled tonight Pop had to pull him. Perhaps he was really pissed at Tiago's soft play too.
People keep talking about past the first round like that is guaranteed. It's not. Should they get past it? Yes, but it is far from a lock at this point. Unless Manu magically comes back, TP was faking and Boris gets back ASAP, Spurs no matter who their first round opp is could be in trouble.
Pop finally got Tim the help he needed... unfortunately he had to funnel his mad scientist persona into the point guard rotarion with not to surprising consequences.
More of that to come with everyone hurt and Pop not playing Baynes at all.blair and bonner combining for 40 minutes
all the talk of Manu signing for 8 mil a year should be out the window at this point. outside of last season's playoff run, injuries have plagued the spurs as the big 3 have aged.
No team is a lock to get passed the 1st round in the West tbh, except for the Thunder. The Nuggets could get beaten by the Rockets/Warriors. The Clippers/Grizzlies is a toss up as well. No easy series in the West...
A mental thing that doesn't allow him to move faster than a brisk walk? Yeah, no, I don't buy that...
We deserve to be mocked tbh. Our role players were gutless tonight.
Tony will be fine... I understand the worry but i mean.. its the spurs.. We are locked in at 2 even if we win the rest of our games, or even if we lose the rest.. TP just taking it easy because he, pop, and everyone knows there is no point what so ever to even really try right now
