2 Days ago, the Spurs were a ing joke.

This win did nothing for me.

They still almost lost the game, Duncan was used, Manu was out of control, Rasho is still worthless, Nazr is just plain weird, Bowen plays tons of minutes with no statistics.....

Whatever.

dude as bad as the spurs are this year tony parker is NOT worthy of a last second shot. i'd love to see the stats of his scoring between the 1st and 2nd half. the dude is still a one trick pony with which you can simply close the lane and he's extremely useless. he still has zilch of an outside shot and still dissapears mightily in the 2nd half. granted he's having a much better year than previous ones, i think he still has a ways to go before gets to manu and slowing down tim's level. parker usually goes off the first 8 min of the game and then teams figure out to pack the lane more and parker becomes nullified.

[Horry For 3!]

Off the top off my head, here goes:

Shaq
Ben Wallace
Marcus Camby
Yao Ming
Brad Miller
Z Ilgauskas
Chris Kaman
Eddy Curry
Alonzo Mourning
Jamaal Magloire
Samuel Dalembert
Joel Pryzbilla
PJ Brown
Erick Dampier
Tyson Chandler
Melvin Ely
Jeff Foster
Etan Thomas
Kurt Thomas
Mike Sweetney
Brendan Haywood
Nene
Nenad Kristic
Zaza Pachulia
Ike Diogu
Chris Mihm
Tony Battie
Mark Blount
Nick Collison
Michael Olowokandi
Adonal Foyle
Jarron Collins
Primoz Brezec
Theo Ratliff

That's around 33 or 34. A few of them may be argued as equal to Rasho or Nazr, but most of them are better.

Those are not better than Rasho/Nazr.

The funniest line in Boutons_ ridiculous rant was this:

Spurs dropped back to the middle of the pack and forget how to play basketball.

They lead the Western Conference dumbass.

They aren't playing great basketball but your psychotic analysis needs work.

Did the Pistons come together from the start of 2004-05 season after winnning the le in 2004?

No matter what, it takes time to come together as a team. Michael and Nick didn't cause them to disintegrate, but it changes the player rotations. Also there's been injuries to Barry, Finley, Manu (three times) and Tim (ongoing).

I don't know why you don't understand a simple concept of "coming together" but they haven't done that yet.

I agree Kori. too many people forget that TEAM is all about CHEMISTRY. We added and took away from this team over the past 6 months. We still have to let Pop work the proper rotations. As much as we disagree with them, Pop sees the big picture. He knows we will win the SW and the WC, but what is beyond that rotation wise? Huge question. We just should sit back and enjoy the ride. no matter how rocky it is.

[SequSpur]

Afraid to tell you,

but integrating two players, a pg and sg who are used to alot of shots, and lack of D, into this system, takes a while.

But don't let those facts get in your way.

Van Exel and Finley could be in the next country and this team still can't run a ing play.

It's the same ol bull ... The Spurs don't give a until their backs are against the wall....

Just like David Chancellor said yesterday, we're sick and tired of the bull answers from Pop, the blah blah blah, media sucks answers to simple questions from the players..

The Spurs were booed off the court on Thursday. People paid good money for the tickets, the game was a sellout and the Spurs soldout.

[T Park]

wasnt he the same one to also say last year when the Spurs lead the Rockets by 5 games, that the

"Rockets lead the division"

no no Kori come on. i think we all know that their record is a great exaggeration of how they are playing. they're struggling to beat the top tier teams. they may not be middle of the pack but they're def. not "up there" at all

[Kori Ellis]

Bottomline, Spurs fans are spoiled.

What did you guys do in the losing seasons?

Suicide attempts?

[Peter]

It's ing January. There is certainly plenty of room for improvement, but it's January.

[SequSpur]

your gonna rag on Bowen shorty??


Where is Pseudo to whack you with a in frying pan.

Bowen played tons of minutes against Detroit with no ing statistics as well.

At least get some steals, rebounds or make a ing basket.

Sometimes a little O could help especially when Detroit is kicking your ass.

Last time I checked, he who score the most usually wins.

[T Park]

Just like David Chancellor said yesterday, we're sick and tired of the bull answers from Pop, the blah blah blah, media sucks answers to simple questions from the players..

So you and Chancellor want Pop out of here??


I know you do, youve gone on record as wanting "John Lucas" back here of course.

[Peter]

David Chancellor jacks off to a nude Barbie doll. that pussy.

i still have nightmares about .4

How many teams are better than them? (not record-wise, just better)

Detroit .. um... maybe Dallas?

That doesn't cons ute "middle of the pack".

I could care less about losses, but the Spurs 2 games against Detroit were pitiful and I am not writing that off.

[boutons_]

The Pistons ed up in November, 12-12, the Artest Rumble, Larry was ing to the press about "I never thought I'd have to coach effort, not to these guys". Classic let down after, fondling their belts, after winning the Championship, first ring for all of them.

I understand the ing concept.

you havent got clue 1 up in that bald head of yours do you.


God I dont know how that beautifull wife of yours puts up with your kindergarden brain.

[DieMrBond]

What the , are we spoilt or something? Our records what, 29-9 or 28-9 (i forget)? AND YOUR COMPLAINING?? Its still only january, its not even the all-star break yet, we havent gone on the rodeo trip, tim is hurting, manu just came back from an injury, geez.

Did you also notice memphis has the (now) fourth (was tied for third with pheonix) best record in the west? They are not a bad team.

We arent doing too shabby id say... sure, theres a lot of stuff that can be improved obviously, but what team (apart from probably detroit) cant say that? We will get there. Have faith.

Btw, looking at the box score - how does mike fratello get a tech foul 3 seconds into the game? or is that 3 minutes?

[Ginobili_20_gold_medalist]

Pistons didn't need to come together, they took up exactly where they left off in June.
Spurs dropped back to the middle of the pack and forget how to play basketball.

It's not hard to figure out.

Pistons have had a consistent lineup and rotation all year. Their players know what to expect night in and night out and their chemistry is unmatched.

Spurs have had a jekyll and hyde lineup all year with a rotation pattern that makes no sense whatsoever. The Spurs players never know what to expect with their uneven minutes and the lineups Popovich likes to throw out on the fly have no real chemistry. That results in uneven play.

Consistency is the key.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

detroit, dallas, and yes phoenix. i'm curious to see how we'll fare against miami as they played detroit much better than we ever did. but i'll give you that maybe we aren't "middle of the pack" but we still have a lot left to be desired

[T Park]

I understand the ing concept

Uh, apparently you don't.....

[Obstructed_View]

Post the names of those centers.

I agree. Let's see a list.

EDIT: Found it. Damn you guys post fast.

Injuries have caused most of the weirdness in the rotation patterns.

So you think they are top 4 in the league right now and Duncan/Manu are injured or coming off injuries, right?

It's not that bad of a position to be in.
