i know we all behave like the spurs are lottery bound with our freak outs but here's my problem with where SA is at. I posted this in a previous thread and yes its still january, its gonna be april before we know it........
my biggest problem with this loss is that its one thing to be reckless and drop games to atlanta, washington, chicago or whatever the case may be. at the end of the day, the chances of us facing any of those teams come playoff time is unlikely. if we have any shot at making the finals, there's a 137% chance we'll be playing Detroit. of all the teams in the league, Detroit is #1 on our list of teams to compete with. this is the team we should be preparing our entire season for. so when detroit not only waxes us on their turf but on OUR HOME turf as well, i think we've got a "slight" problem. coupled with the fact that so far in the season, detroit looks like they're gonna run away with HC advantage, i give the spurs 10 to 1 odd in beating detroit in a series like that. you guys can say "oh its only january, oh its the regular season" but when our nemesis KICKS OUR ASSES soundly the way they did, I KNOW its gonna with the spurs heads a lot and make the pistons more confident than ever that the only team that has a shot of beating them is light years behind them. Pop needs to wake up and find a solid rotation and put nazr back in the lineup and HAND THE TEAM OVER TO MANU AND GET THE OUT OF THE WAY. if any of the other spurs had a millionth of the heart manu had, we'd be 81-1 (losing to the raptors or something) every season. Because lets face it, as "nice" as it is to make it to the finals, with the talent this roster has ANYTHING less than a championship trophy is a total bust.
......so we may be 4th or whatever in the league but with time running out and detroit being light years ahead of us its look extremely dim at the end of the tunnel
