Amen to that. Spurs suck and the reliance on 3 pointers is nauseating. The Spurs have gone soft and have no one banging on the inside. No rebounding presence whatsoever. It's pathetic and, frankly, I look atg Elson and Oberto. They should be embarrassed to call themselves professional basketball players - an incredible lack of hustle and determination to do their ing jobs.
Corey Maggette - trade Bowen, Finley, Horry, Beno and Scola' rights for Artest or someone who gives a ing . Who hasn't won and is not baggin' it up and down the court hoping for a time out. Bowen is done, imho.
So much for the amazing RRT - Nets creamed the Magic last night. This should be fun.
This team is too old and won't get it done this year - count it. We can only hope for a blockbuster trade or a complete dismantling in the offseason.
You gotta be kidding.SCORING DROUGHTS!
Scoring droughts were a staple of Spurs le teams.
Their main problems are:
1a) lack of interior defense
1b) lack of rebounding
If they had even one of those, it would be enough to make up for the lack of consistent bench scoring, a backup point, and youth.
They lost today because Wade and Walker went off from..............
the outside.
I in hated today how the Spurs can't create any ing offense. They always found themselves trying to jack a shot as the shotclocked neared zero, time and time again.
And they start panicing when the clock runs down, and they make nig re ed passes with .5 seconds left on the clock, which won't even yield a ing shot up at all. You got Bruce Bowen passing the ball with .0248 seconds left because he knows he can only make threes from the corners on good nights, so he passes it and the buzzer blows right when the receiving Barry barely touches it. God damn it, just ing shoot the ball.
The Spurs where in that situation today at least 5 times.
On the other hand, the Heat create plays with Wade and Shaq, or Wade pulls up over Bowen with 20 seconds left on the clock, or the Spurs quadruple team Wade leaving 4 Miami es open for a wide open shot.
The Spurs need to create offense consistently AND learn how to rebound or play defense.
No doubt. This has to be the worst set of complementary players in the frontcourt that TD has had to play with during his Spurs career.
One game != season
Exactly... against good teams, the Spurs can't create any offense... but for some reason the priority is keeping players that can't score, but can stop the opposing teams all star once or twice.
At least that's the board's opinion.
Exactly.
I don't know if people understand what a travesty it is that Jason Kapono got 11 rebounds.
It's Jason Kapono.
I think the Spurs should sign Sequ for rebounding, the team rebounds average might go up by a few.
I bet Earl ing Boykins could rack up 10 or 12 rebounds against this grizzled veteran seasoned spurs team.
Call me crazy, but it seems like when we go through these scoring droughts, it's because the guys have fell in love with the 3 pointer.
They need to concentrate on driving and passing to someone close in for the layup or dunk.
We have two guys that are going to draw the defenders in anytime they drive the lane. They need to learn to take advantage of it.
I would love to see Tony drive, dish it out to Manu at about the top, he drive, then have Tim waiting on one side and Elson on the other waiting on a dish for the close in shot.
I also think, especially when time is running out and we are behind, Tim takes some ill advised shots. And usually misses them.
I don't really understand it, but we seem to play 3 decent quarters, and then one that really really sucks.
^^^^^^ Rack the Princess.
We got beat on the glass by 15 boards. Where have I seen that before? Oh yeah, the whole ing series against Dallas last year
The leadership (or more appropriately, lack thereof) in the front office last summer by Pop and Holt is the cruelest joke of the Tim Duncan era.
This team isn't going anywhere this spring except for the golf course after round 1.
You know what the difference is this year versus the years in the past pertaining to the big 3 of the Spurs? In the past, a majority of the calls have gone their way. This year, more often than not...... the calls are going the other way.
I'm a firm believer in that a team must be both good and lucky to win an NBA Championship. When a team wins the le, it's because they had good late game exection, sound decision making, and the fact that more calls went their way than not.
You have people like Mavs fans that complain about the refs because of their shortcomings last year. To add to my point, the last thing you'll hear from the Heat fans are how poor the refs were in the Finals. Now had the Heat lost in the Finals, then they'd be all over the refs like white on rice. The refs do influence the outcome of the game more often than not, and I'm a firm believer that winning a le requires some good old fashioned luck all of the way through the playoffs.
Agree entirely about the three-pointers and lack of slashers, which is another reason it would be nice to have Maggette.
That's the difference with Spur fans. Nobody here is saying the problem is a lack of calls. They're saying we're not good enough.
in other words, we play small ball
You're a re . The problem isn't the calls for the big three. It's the fact their supporting cast is geriatric and sucks.You know what the difference is this year versus the years in the past pertaining to the big 3 of the Spurs? In the past, a majority of the calls have gone their way. This year, more often than not...... the calls are going the other way.
, stupid ass mavs fans still whining like es about officiating. Go away.
I gotcha.
My point was that the Spurs obviously had more calls go their way than not during their Championship seasons. I've been eyeing more Spurs games lately than Mavs games and I must admit that the calls that Duncan used to receive aren't going his way these days.
Now it's a ref problem....
The best ing team wins the championship. Period. That is why they are called the got damn champions....
The scoreboard at the end of the game is what matters. If you need to score points to win the ing game, than that's what you do... If you have players that aren't worthy of a God given induced offensive game, aka-Bowen, then you have no ing business getting involved into the offensive side of the game.
Scoring the most points will win the game... The Heat won today, because Wade was the best player on the court and he took over the game when the best players should... it had nothing to do with the stops in the first half, the lack of rebounds in the game... he willed his team to win... by outscoring the Spurs damn near by himself and you know what.... stats don't matter, because he was going to do it... Period...
Now, you can keep on licking your Argentina, France, Virgin Island, Slovenian balls, but if you ain't got a got damn player on your team that L E A D S his team to victory, then you ain't gonna do it....
The Spurs have T W E L V E R O L E players with no ing leader.... the bottom 7 players, who is the top 1?
I'm sorry that you misinterpreted my post. My 2 year old son is re ed. I'll not speak against you though. He's got more heart than most people, so that's all that matters.
I had zero intentions of complaining, nor attempting to be a Mavs homer. I'm just saying that the calls that the Spurs used to receive are not going their ways these days.

Wade scored, blocked, defended and boned the Spurs all by himself.
He's almost as good as Vince Carter, huh?Wade scored, blocked, defended and boned the Spurs all by himself.
Speaking of Wade, that was absolutely classic when he blocked Parker 2 times in a matter of 10 seconds...not only did he stuff him twice, but the sent those balls out of the ing place.
I couldn't even about that, I had to admire that.
The officiating hasn't changed at all. But I guess if you live in a world where you think Cuban's whining about getting owned by Wade is a legitimate gripe, you'd see things through stripe colored glasses.
