Spurs @ Sixers Mar. 15 - Game Blog

If we drop this one we'll fall to 17-17 on the road. I'm having a hard time recalling the last NBA champ who had a mere .500 road record

The '05 team was 21-20 on the road; unfortunately, this team is nothing like that team But yeah, it can be done. I don't think by this Spurs team though

Dang that news chick had some huge thingees!

Who? What channel? Pics?

[loveforthegame]

There's no other option. Barry and Ime are out

He could go with Bonner, Stoudamire, or Vaughn if Finley isn't going to shoot and be the only Spur not to play defense.

Parker and Manu and Bowen I think.
Duncan told them to get back in the game.

Right on. The Spurs are totally trying. They do not nor will they ever take the court and not try to win. They are professionals.

That said, they ARE playing pretty crappy thus far tonight. But there's still a whole half to go.

Thank you. I'm just sick of these people who insult our players. And yes, we are playing like . But we are trying, sadly.

It's like those kids you used to beat at 'ball and then they'd say "but I wasn't really trying", so you'd say "try then", and they would, and you'd beat them again, so they'd still say they weren't. It's disingenuous and disgusting. Show some ing respect for your own team.

I think winning the championship last year has blinded head office when it comes to revamping the bench. I'm not saying the team needs an overhaul, but you're right about the bench. And it's not even like when they're missing shots, the bench has a superb veteran IQ this season to make up for it.....our 4th quarter execution in tight games has been downright pitiful at times.

Now were getting somewhere. It seems a lot of folks around here want to give the FO a pass because they found Ginobili and Parker. Folks that was 7 years ago!. Winning a le does not provide an exemption from improving the team. In case you haven't noticed, this is a "what have you done for me lately"-type of league. I'm sorry but RC and Pop do not get a pass here.

It's clear, the Spurs need bench players who are energetic, talented and hungry. For some reason, the FO didn't want to give guys like D-Washington and DeMarr Johnson a chance. Keeping essentially the same bench comprised primarily of older players, whose skills have substantially eroded and whose best days are clearly behind them is inexcusable. Considering the manner and fatigue in which this team is going through, their dependence on these older players is a puzzling one. It's almost like the Spurs management detests younger players.

Defense tightening up.
Hope it stays.
