The Spurs have to play Oberto and Elson, or they aren't making it out of the west. Period. If Elson's healthy again it's time to get him back into the rotation. Duncan cannot patrol the lane by himself, especially without Bowen on the perimeter.
Manu is hurting, so our offense suffers
The bench is the problem: Barry's out, Horry's old, or someone else
Finley is streaky
Parker has lost a step
Pop's coach
Nothing is wrong, they'll peak after the All Star Game like the always do
My goodness HSXDVV ... is that a gun to the head? And a smile while doing so?

I went back to see that 6 minute segment, where Detroit made their run (as painful as it was) with the following observations.
Manu went hard to the bucket twice during that period. I thought there should have been a foul called on the second occasion. Instead he ended up with two turnovers. And he missed an open trey that he would normally have made. Truth be told, "Detroit's Run" wasn't made on the second unit at all.
At the 5:59 mark Spurs were up 13 to 10... Coming out of a timeout. Detroit had scored the previous bucket.
5:52 Duncan zips a pass to a wide open Horry under the basket and it goes through his hands.
5:26 Parker passes the ball to Bruce Bowen's sweet spot; Bowen misses the mildly contested corner trey.
5:10 Tayshaun Prince scores a bucket after posting up Manu; gets a friendly bounce from the rim.
5:10 Parker misses 20ft jumper off of a Duncan screen.
4:38 Prince scores a long jumper over Duncan (would've been a 3 had his toe not been on the line).
4:08 Duncan scores a running hook (Spurs last bucket of 1st Quarter)
3:37 Ginobilli makes a nice drive but then misses a layup he would have normally made.
3:32 Rip Hamilton scores a layup on the fastbreak (goes around the back after Parker gambles for the steal).
3:16 Parker turnover trying to split two defenders
3:10 Another fastbreak bucket by Detroit. Horry had the misfortune of standing in the wrong place gearing for a block when he thought Rip would take the ball to the hoop instead of passing it back to the stragler on the play.
2:54 Duncan turnover (bounces it too high and far from his body, Billups runs in and steals it).
2:45 Wallace scores a long 3 pointer early in the shot clock...
2:21 Ginobilli misses a wide open trey.
1:57 McDyess makes 2nd jumper attempt after Detroit comes up with offensive rebound
1:36 Ginobili turnover.
1:26 McDyess layup after Rasheed's missed layup.
1:01 Duncan throws up wild scoop shot, misses
0:45 Hamilton shoots jumper in the lane off of a hand-off screen by McDyess
0:37 Parker drive to the lane, misses shot trying to go for the quick 2-for-1 opportunity.
0:18 Tayshaun posts up Finley, spins around him and scores the layup.
0:01 Horry misses 3 pointer at the buzzer.
it's the regular season, boys.
