The real reason we lost tonight

[YGWHI]

The real reason we lost?

Our defense is garbage against good basketball players.

Man...Spurs lost to the SUNS!!! Suns lost to the MAVS yesterday!!!

We lost against one of the worst teams in the West.

Suns best scorer played 37 minutes, our best player only 32 having a great night.

Some Pop decisions killed this team in the last three close games against Hawks, Bucks and...Suns.

Stupid game, stupid loss. Horrible rotations, coaching was soft tonight. Felt like an exhibition game.

Booker da greatest

Especially when he's not being guarded.

The Spurs played terrible in the 3rd quarter and still had a chance to win. So far, no team has won 82 games.

Spurs are on 63+ win pace which is in the top 30 of all time, and have an SRS this season that paces them for 15th all time (and 17th best ORtg ever and even with this crappy defense, 50th DRtg). Even good teams lose to bad ones.

Stop getting caught up in meaningless regular season games in a foreign country that would have been a W if the team hit FTs.

Seriously, this place is filled with a bunch of 13 year old rage quitters

Spurs won 67 last year and lost in the 2nd round. They haven't been a true contender since Duncan's decline. Let's stop kidding ourselves by pretending it's about one game in a foreign country. Stop acting like you were born yesterday. How did that historic PD work out for the Spurs last year?

LOL... Roll with it baby! When your guy kicks an entire team's asses, you get to crow.

Most of Spurstalk was ting on him after the last match-up. I knew from then on that he'll turn out to be a fine player.

Well it's good that the Spurs had a chance to win. Against the 12-27 Suns, they had a chance to win. I mean, it's not like they were blown out or anything. They had a chance against the Suns. So they missed FT's and wide open shots down the stretch. And turned the ball over. And called momentum-killing time outs. At least they had a chance.

So they got that going for them.

Nobody noticed the Spurs got outrebounded? Resulting in Phoenix attempting more baskets? The shooting is fine and 3s are fine. The 10 missed free throws is bad but the spurs got severely outrebounded 33 - 45 thanks Tyson!

I wonder who should have blocked him out... Lamarcus just 4 boards though. I have one distinct recollection of a missed board by LMA that ended up in a made 3 by Booker.
