And thats the biggest disappointment. Thats why we wont go far. And the FO did nothing imo to help Timmy out. They brought in Roger Mason. Wow, likes he's really gonna help this team out. I dont think so. Nothing against Roger but he's just another jump shooter. The man who needs help more then anyone with respect to the other NBA teams was and is Tim Duncan. Tony is still young and can run with the younger guys. Even with Manu not playing 100percent. He can still play good enough ball to get us through rough games. But when it comes down to it in the end, you have to make stops. And those stops come from inside the paint. Last night I saw that same face Timmy had last season and mostly in the PO's. And thats not good news. When Amare was unheard of until the 4th and then noone could stop him. There came that look on Timmys face. Its a shame too, he played a great game.(he wont have those every game). Another thing that woulda been nice is instead of wasting so much time on tweaking TPs shot they shoulda been teaching passing skills. 32 points 5 assists. Not good when you lose, and when in the end your shooting a shot your not known for. Same goes for Timmy. Just one game but basically making the same mistakes as last season. Kinda reminds me of the cowboys bragging about there great o-line when anyone who knows football could see how dumb this group of guys really is. And there right back where they ended last season. Same old mistakes, by the same old guys.

So if it has been like this for a while, then how do you explain winning the finals in 2007 and getting to the WCF last year?

Mason is gonna help out alot, but I agree with your other assessment. The front office has failed miserably to obtain a decent starting quality big to pair with Duncan, and must be held accountable to this. How are these other teams like the rockets and lakers able to load up on highly talented big men and the spurs FO can't manage to snag even one? It's ridiculous. And Peter Holt should have dug into his wallet to hold onto Scola, that was really ing stupid on his part. Even Ginobili wanted Scola and knew he could have helped a ton. Ahh well, gonna be painful watching the best few years of the Big 3's career wasted playing alongside washed up scrubs or much too green rookies.
