Man...and I thought being tied for most wins in the league was a good thing.
i disagree with his thoughts about oberto being useless against good teams. he is just starting his second season here and is doing very well. if you were to judge a second-year player that quickyl no one would ever make it in the NBA. Sure, he has his athletic shortcomings. However, I think we can pretty much guarantee he will play smart when he gets his chance in the playoffs and do big things for us.
He did go 11-for-11 against the Suns to help you guys win... Suns weren't a good team back then and don't have much of a defense, but Oberto was out of his mind that game hitting 17 footers and getting tons of putbacks.
It was ONE GAME, ONE BAD QUARTER, on the road in a tough arena ! Spurs still have the second best record in the NBA, and nobody knows if Utah is for real or not. It's early folks.....Spurs will be there with a good chance to win it all !
"Spurs still have the second best record in the NBA"
In the Last10 records, 6 teams are better than the Spurs, including tonight's Wolves.
WC is very crowded at the top. It's going to take the Spurs some weeks more, maybe end of January at earliest, to detach from the crowd, if they manage to detach at all.

if the spurs blew every team out and were constantly 'detached' from the rest of the league, it wouldnt be fun to watch the spurs anymore
I wonder what Rosen thinks about Odom being out for a month - I guess maybe they need a few more "pieces" too
The whole "A-game" thing....teh Spurs have come into the playoffs playing the most high octane, crisp, amazing, effective offense into the playoffs only once: The first six games of the 2004 post season. Our offense looked unstoppable at first glance. Parker was also shooting better threes than any other point guard in the playoffs, that helped alot. But our offense looked unstoppable. Then Phil Jackson made a simple adjustment and we lost 4 games in a row to the most overrated lakers team of all time.
Even if parker and ginobili and duncan play an A game and we get contributions i still do not see it happening because our guys aren't going to grow 4 inches each come playoff time, i dont think they'll gain significant hops by then either. And that 2004 team was a better rebounding team than this 2006, i think.
We need to make a move.
Yes, Mr. Rosen, the Spurs have what it takes. And every season this time of year they come into the shadow of doubt.
We should send GrandeDave over to Mr. Rosen's house and kick his ass!
We should investigate the overly discussed and fictional Gerald Wallace trade.
You ain't kidding. Usually, you can look at the NBA scores pretty much everyday and find a game or two that will help the team gain a little distance (even if it is far too early to be scoreboard watching). But damn, this year everybody just keeps winning.
