In addition to Barry "not doing anything another player couldn't do" he also leads the team in Assist to TO ratio and TO per 48 minutes.....
Something to think about when you are hating.
Manu played much more than six minute spurts in the Olympics, and that was with him having to carry his team.

How many games did they have to play??Manu played much more than six minute spurts in the Olympics, and that was with him having to carry his team.
play him like Argentina did in the Olympics and Manu is shot for the playoffs.
This ing and moaning is ridiculous.
The Spurs lost one game against a good team. They played like absolute crap, yet still had a chance to win in the final minutes.
They are 24 and 7. Even after this apocalyptic loss which requires us to fire Pop, trade Tony, and take away Tim's two MVP awards, the Spurs are on pace to go 63-19, which would only be the best record in team history.
The Spurs always play expanded rotations early in the season. It's dumb not to do so. You save mileage on your veterans, you give more guys a chance to earn minutes, you get more of an opportunity to see exactly what each guy on your roster can contribute, and you give more players experience and possibly confidence to perform when the chips are down.
My lord, this board is bipolar. The Spurs win while Parker plays well, and all of a sudden he's John Stockton, Oscar Robertson, and Allen Iverson wrapped into a single croissant, and the Bulls' 72-10 mark is in jeopardy. The Spurs lose while Duncan struggles, and all of a sudden he is in irreversible decline, and the Spurs will be lucky to get past the first round, if they make the playoffs at all.
^well said
everyone knows the spurs play their best basketball toward the end of the season(after all star break) they always do;they did it the year they won, last year, and I wouldn't be surprised if they did it again. Everyone seems to think that the Spurs are playing their best basketball right now. Well they are playing good, but not their best. The Portland game is a good example of how well they can play. They will continue to gell as the season goes on. And if they dont, then well it wasnt meant to be. But you cant give up on them with one loss. Thats not being a true fan.

Excellent Post Stout......some fans need to stop and breath. AND GET OVER IT.
Oooh, this Extra Stout guy/gal? can write.
Give him/her about another 20 posts before he/she declines into ducksdom like the rest of us.
Spaek fore you're self.
I thought Timmy wasn't feeling well. I knew he wasn't himself. I just hope he 's 100% again really soon. It is no fun to be sick, especially when you have his job.
I think all the boys are doing very well, all things considered.

This topic makes no sense whatsoever.
Obviously again, SeguSpur you simply do not get it, the Grizz played 10 deep and it only took them so far. Now they are going to their core, especially Gasol and playing their starters 35-40 minutes on a regular rotation each game. Spur's rotations need to be consistent - why does Pop flip flop Brown/Barry and Rose/Horry for no good reason and leave Rasho on the bench when he was arguebly the most effective player in the game. Plus Duncan sits way to much, cold or no cold.
Spurs have been getting away with it to talent but this approach is not the answer long-term.

Yea.. so I'm a nerd. I don't like spelling errors in my post, so I edited it. =) The message is still the same.
You may be a nerd but all the Luv always - with your great thoughts.

And they're currently below .500 out of the playoffs. We could easily run a consistent rotation if the players themselves were consistent. They aren't. Couple that with the fact it's early January and you get our current rotations with our current record.Obviously again, SeguSpur you simply do not get it, the Grizz played 10 deep and it only took them so far.

Exactly what did everyone think the Spurs record would be at this point?
"what did everyone think the Spurs record would be at this point?"
W's (over inferior teams), instead of L's
@TOR W (no 4th quarter/20-point-lead collapse)
@MEM W (just sucked)
SEA W (no 2nd quarter disappearance)
@ORL W (Stevie was good, but not that good)
@SAC W (Spurs horrendous)
So our "special" Spurs would be a very special 30 - 2, instead of 25-7.
The 2 L's,
1) giving Tracy his Miracle Minute, was combination of Spurs giving him the opportunity, thank you, and Tracy seizing it. I take nothing away from his performance. Spurs set the table, and Tracy had a feast.
2) The loss @SEA in the first week of the season. Spurs got ambushed by what turned out to be one of the hottest teams.

No hindsight crap. Our Monday morning quarterback ing is the stuff of legend.
Really--at the beginning of the season--were you expecting this record?
Would you have taken it?
Did you really think 30-2 back in October?
11-1 on the road?
No you didn't.
This team isn't that good.
i thought 20 and 12 or 21-11 would be the record if having to guess.
I didnt think the Supersonics, or the Suns would be this good though as well.
"Expecting this record?"
Of course not. Was it do-able, look carefully at each loss, with what we've seen? absolutely yes.
Then unclench.Of course not.You make the mistake of thinking our team and staff are better than they actually are. Sometimes they definitely are. Other times they aren't. If they perform to their potential every night? Sure, maybe 32-0. They simply don't do that. If you want better, you'll have to either be patient or look for a trade.Was it do-able, look carefully at each loss, with what we've seen? absolutely yes.
