Tim Griffin
There are bad offensive games.
And then, there are games like the Spurs played Friday night in Philadelphia.
The Spurs were absolutely miserable offensively in a 77-71 loss that set season lows for fewest points, shooting percentage and 3-point percentage. San Antonio’s shot 33.3 shooting percentage from the field and 17.1 percent from behind the arc. Their scoring total was the lowest since scoring 67 points on April 23, 2009, against Dallas in a Game 3 playoff loss. And it was the worst scoring effort in the regular season since a 90-64 loss to Utah and Jerry Sloan on April 4, 2008.

118 row M for me!
Just watched the game and the Spurs look like trash. We haven't really looked good all road trip as far as complete games go. Apart from the Lakers game Spurs are only playing about 1 good quarter of basketball which is NOT good enough.
What is Manu shooting from 3 point range in the last 6 weeks? 12%?
ING horrible Manu.
RJ can you ever drive the ball or are you just going to stand around and shoot, even when you are 1-6?
lol that was pathetic. The Spurs were getting rebounds all game and then when we needed them we gave them right up thanks to Bonner.
Pop is a ing fool playing Bonner. He wasn't doing all game and the Sixers were too quick and too active to let him get any shots up, so in other words he was useless, but Pop has him out there anyway.
33.3 percent shooting is pathetic. Spurs need to step it up against the lowly Wizards tonight.
Philadelphia 76ers 77, San Antonio Spurs 71: Will somebody make a shot?
by Scott Sereday
48 Minutes of
WELLS FARGO CENTER — In a game that Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich said “set offensive basketball back a decade or so,” the Spurs fell to the 76ers 77-71 in Philadelphia. The Spurs half court defense looked excellent, but in the end, the offense was simply too anemic to pull this one out.
Almost everyone struggled to find the bottom of the net on this night. Incredibly, each Spurs starter finished with more field goals attempted than points scored. Tim Duncan went 7-18, Richard Jefferson 1-8, DeJuan Blair 3-11, Tony Parker 3-10, Manu Ginobili 2-10 and off the bench, George Hill went 0-6. As a team, the Spurs made only 3 of 17 from down town and (I estimate) 6 of 34 on 2-point J’s. The offensive inep ude appeared endless.
Perhaps the best offensive performance was from old reliable himself, Antonio McDyess, who finished with 11 points on 5 of 7 shooting and 11 rebounds in 20 minutes. I know Philly has a solid defensive team, but come on… can’t anybody create with efficiency?

..."It's amazing in terms of consistency," Collins said. "They're 24-1 this year against teams under .500. You would think a team that's been around for a while, won championships, been 10 or so years together, would take a night off somewhere.
"I don't see any weakness. I think it's great because they're a team we'd like to model ourselves after -- high character, talented players who love to play. You never hear anything coming out of San Antonio. They just love to play."
...The Spurs crushed the Sixers the first time they met, on Nov. 13 in San Antonio. The final score was 116-93, but it wasn't even that close as the Spurs outscored the Sixers 35-12 in the third quarter and led by as many as 32. The Sixers fell to 2-8 with that loss.
"At that point, they had no clue, didn't understand the system, didn't know what Doug wanted and Doug was trying to figure them out," Popovich said. "You can see the persistence of both coaches and players has paid off. They not only understand the system, but they believe in it. They're playing with confidence and trust and enthusiasm."
Done !"It's amazing in terms of consistency," Collins said. "They're 24-1 this year against teams under .500. You would think a team that's been around for a while, won championships, been 10 or so years together, would take a night off somewhere.
Thank you Doug !
