roughnreadyozstyle noone likes you

and noone like you. But you manage to come around anyways.

This season is about complacency and hubris.
Complacency regarding resting on our laurels and not upgrading our team during the off season. Playing poorly during the regular season in the belief that we'll simply play better in the playoffs.
Hubris - well, it was our hubris which led to our complacency.

[WalterBenitez]

we went back to suck level -10, right? ro those guys are real?

[Obstructed_View]

But only if they can hit their free throws.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I will say that it's apparent to me that this team really has no way to get easy baskets and that leads to long droughts that can allow some pretty long runs.

With that said, what's going on here is not particularly bothersome to me. The Hornets are hitting everything they throw up. While the Spurs' defense is somewhat troublesome, there's just no defense for some of what's going down. No real reason to get pissed about the Spurs' inability to stop unstoppable shots.

Some sense around here, finally.

When the other team hits its tough shots and you miss your easy ones, I reckon that's called being outplayed.

Hey i'll give credit to the Hornets fans, they've been consistantly booing. Our fans would have stopped after 15 seconds.

Some times teams simply get hot. I'm not going to get to bent out of shape on this game regardless of the outcome. I know the Spurs can and will turn it up in the playoffs...hornets can't play any better.

[diego]

ehh there is still a chance. i think a lot of it is pop not settling on a rotation

at least the hornets announcers arent so bad

[loveforthegame]

Spurs better hold on to home court cause they won't do anything on the road.

[peskypesky]

This Spur team has a serious problem

Oh, you mean the fact that they have to play good teams?

[Spurs Brazil]

Hornets FG-59%

[TampaDude]

Way too many missed FTs tonight...the bonus won't matter...

[Manu's Bald Spot]

what is up with our bench/rest of our starters???? We aren't winning anything in the playoffs if our role players don't do anything

[Warlord23]

Uh-oh .. Horry back in

[Amarelooms]

The Hornets are simply the better team tonight.

Spurs homers need to relax....your team is good but it's not like they are a dominant team or way better than most of the teams in the playoff hunt

Even last year...ya'll won but if a few bounces go the other way da Suns would have won. Playoffs gonna be great this year

LOL, they have to worry about the crappy ones too.

Yes, but their lack of offense outside of the Big 3 has been worrysome for almost the whole season now. It's scary how dependent the Spurs are on offense of the Big 3. They luck out because usually on most nights, at least two of the Big 3 have a good offensive night, if not all 3.

You have to wonder if guys like Horry, Damon, Oberto, will ever get it going. Finley is hot and cold every 10 or so games. Bowen isn't going to give you double digit points, but that's ok because his defense is still there. But where is the offense with the 2nd unit if Pop continues to start Ginobili (which I think he should).?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

wtf is pop doing??

[remingtonbo2001]

This is absolute bull .


Meh...I'm over it. Who's tomorrow?

[Warlord23]

Finley attempting one with 2 hands in his face! LMAO!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley miss another one

Hornets up 15

[Creation88]

horrible rebounding and terrible shot selection haunts us again.

[Obstructed_View]

4 minutes into the 4th quarter, zero shots within 18 feet of the basket for the Spurs.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Just shut up. Make your ing observations and let others make theirs.

Which one would you like, shut up or not?

How exactly can I prevent anyone from making an observation?

Don't project your frustration over the Spurs onto me.

[Tek_XX]

Did elliot just say the spurs can't let the hornets get away from them?
