[boutons_]

Fri, Apr 4 @ Utah L 64-90

Wed, Apr 9 Phoenix L 79-96

Sun, Apr 13 @ LA Lakers L 85-106

A lot of us were very down about those A P R I L! losses to WC playoff teams, 2 or 3 of which we'd see in the playoffs. Suns beat us badly AT ATT!

We're only in the first round, but it's been a weird season. Spurs' 56Ws didn't have many playoff teams' Ls in it.

ESPN as a whole really is trash. Not only is mostly hours of people screaming opinions, but the company is stupid. Why crap on a team so often that kills casual interest...when it's a team that is likely to play in a marquee series YOUR NETWORK BROADCASTS?! The whole "boring" thing isn't just a poor basketball opinion, it's a bad business decision.

The Spurs yearly tradition going on in the past 10 years trully be the best team. If you come to think of it they are a lot better this year compare the last year considering the won the championship having Kurt Thomas and Ime Udoka who made positive impacts for the team. No doubt the can win another championship this year. Next year they will be more dangerous adding the Euroleague playoff MVP this year Tiago Splitter (center) hopefully will replace Francisco Elson and Ian Mahinmi one of the top D-league scorer (forward) possibly replace Robert Horry to retirement. Having the Big Three with great supporting cast they will stay to be dangerous for the next decade.

What about 1999? I know we had home court the entire playoffs. Was someone in our path upset? Or did Adande blow another?

Good catch. Spurs 37-13 was the best record in '99.

I read "since 1999" as "after 1999". If Adande meant including 1999, he's even less diligent than I first thought.

Greg Anthony's comments about the Spurs during last years Utah series summed things up nicely. It was one of the most well thought out commentaries from the "experts" that I've heard.

Already replaced. There's a guy named Kurt Thomas on our roster now........

Stephen A is the first hater because he's publicly admitted he doesn't want the spurs in the Finals because their boring. He also said watch out for denver because he's iverson's yes boy. (he used to write for the philly paper) he's doesn't know crap about hoops and he's only on there because he's loud and obnoxious.

Stephen A. thinks you have to show your intelligence and prove your point by increasing the volume of his voice. He is a diminishing asset at ESPN - losing his talk show etc.
