Spurs Article(of why they won't win)

[exstatic]

Oh, and if you're going to write a "featured story", don't forget to do a spelling and grammar check next time.

Word. Two tips: liabilities is spelled that way, not in some sort of klepto-possesive manner like liability's. Numbers one through nine are always spelled out. Get a basic writing book if you expect to write for public consumption. No one will take you seriously, even if you have good points, if it looks like writing that a sixth grade teacher would kick back with red ink inundating the paper.

quite amazing of how some guys just go "let's match up position by position"...
2 teams facing never was and never will be PG against PG, SG...
funny bunch of nothing more

combs84 just got own3d84.

I wonder if he'll post again.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nive, timvp.

Thank you exstatic, and look at that opening line for an example of how NOT to write. He's a bloody awful writer... and that's saying nothing about his thesis.

I love how, after describing all of the pundits tipping the Spurs at the start of the season, he comes out at THE END OF THE SEASON, when Tim, Manu, Rasho and Devin are beat up, and makes his "bold prediction". Ha! Any idiot could tell you that our first round matchup, under the current cir stance, is dicey. Duh.

Combs, that article is a joke.

Duncan (on one leg) > K-Mart/ Pau Gasol/ Yao Ming

Dirk and Amare will give him problems though, but by the time we play them his ankle should be a lot better (hopefully)

btw... anybody who doesn't think that the Spurs can run with the best of them is just plain stupid and should never write another article again. I mean seriously, this guys just been sipping a little too much...

When you think of the Spurs, you must notice the fact that out of their 5 starters, 2 of them are offensive liability's. You can't sell ANY team like that as the Favorites to me.

it's not just about the offense. haven't you heard it enough? DEFENSE wins CHAMPIONSHIPS.

Guard play is good, you can't deny that. You can say they make a few head scratching plays, but at the end of the game they are going to have the solid output that the Spurs need. Chances are they won't dominate a game though.

did you not see the Spurs game against the Suns on January 21st? did you not see Manu own Phoenix that night? did you not see Tony Parker just take this team on his back last night against the Warriors?

Genius wrote this article after the Spurs have been fighting injury for the last month.

Stupid pile of . . ..

i'm starting to think combs is in the 6th grade.

As long Tim Duncan is Healthy, Spurs will be fine,They will come out of west and if all starter all healthy they will championship. No one question Tim play. He need not prove anything. Two best palyer in the league are Tim and Shaq.
If others are better them let them win championship first ?

[Leetonidas]

The only coach that has ever gotten the best of Gregg Popovich was Phil Jackson, really?

Duncan has never been beaten in the playoffs by a player not named Shaq?

wasn't Robinson a 20 a night guy the last time we won the championship, what changed there exactly?

Manu didn't drop 48 against phoenix, 40 against the clipps?
Parker didn't go off last night with 36, 12, and 6?

Duncan's doctors are wrog and we wont get him back until after the end of the season now?

Andre Miller > Tony Parker? Really?

Bruce isn't going to own Anthony?

The Mavericks are deeper than the Spurs?

The Suns didn't get crushed here at SBC and then lost to the Run-N-Gun spurs in the valley of the sun?

oh ok, well this guy clearly knows what he is talking about, the Spurs have no chance in .

Owned!

My rant time.

Dallas Mavericks- Perhaps the deepest bench in the league, the difference between this team and Maverick teams in years past? Defense. Their difference may be defense, but it's not enough. They beat us by 36, but no Tim and Devin, as well as no set offensive plays. That was Popovich's psychologcal ploy. Tim will command Double-teams, give people open shots, own Dirk on offense and Defense, and plug up the lane.

Seattle Sonics- Although they've hit a mini slump, their outside shooting could cause the Spurs major problems. The only question would be if Ridnour is mature enough to run the team and win in playoff style basketball.This team has relatively no experience in the playoffs. Tony owns Ridnour, and the Spurs are the best perimiter defending team, so outside shots will be nothing. Ray Allen fears Bruce, and Bruce digs under his skin. You cannot play mad.

Houston Rockets- This is a team that when at its best can beat you so many different ways. Yao is the X-factor. ...Do I even need to comment? Yao is a little puss, and can't do jack , he has no aggressiveness.

Phoenix Suns- I obviously couldn't leave out the number one ranked team out West. While I don't think Steve Nash has earned anything close to the MVP consideration he's getting, I do think the Suns are going to be tough to beat. Simple equations:

Suns = No Defense
Spurs = Great Defense, Great Offense.
Tim Duncan > Amare Stoudemire
Tony Parker > Steve Nash
Bruce + Defensive ownage = Shawn Marion with no game.
Rasho = Defensive presence, size advantage.
Manu = Joe Johnson and Quentin Richardon with broken ankles.

This team has no bench, and no size. The Spurs can run with them.

Rants are in bold.

I think Chris Webber when used the right way is the 3rd best PF in the game.

If "using him the right way" means trading him to your worst enemy, I guess I can see your point

OH NO! NOT THE RED INK!!!

[LakerGod]

Totally agree with the Pistons fan...

Duncan or no Duncan...1st round exit!

[LakerGod]

By the way the two victories against the Suns were a fluke.

The first one was before christmas and meaningless, the second one was when the Suns made a trade and had only 9 players in their roster.

[howbouthemspurs]

What a stupid article. Thats my only comment for that,,, besides the one I just typed...... and that one too.

Why does it matter if they only had 9 players in their roster? Their bench regardless will contribute about 10 points on a great night. If you ask me they should really only play with 7 cause their starting 5 scores all the points...so IMO that statement you made is pretty much worthless.
