Right after the trade you COULD sense that the team was lacking some chemistry and that they were in a lull. I had a bad feeling about the trade on the team psyche initially too.
But I sensed things were coming together before Tim went down. I think now we're dealing with the injury bug more than anything else.
you are right about Rasho foot,but the last time I check he landed on wallace foot regardless if this was Duncan first ankle injury or third he would still be out 2 to 4 weeks.Dallas is not going to pass us SPURS have 2 ugly games and everyone wants to give up on the SPURS.your like WE WON THE GAME, ING SPURS LOST THE GAME YOU POP.Alot people are just like you in this forum, we lose and everything is wrong with the SPURS we won't win the le.One more thing GET OVER IT MALIK IS GONE
Hey you people to telling people to get over it...
Here's a ing clue for you...if you click on a "Malik Rose trade will cost us the le" thead...you are likely to find that topic being discussed...so why don't you guys shut the up instead of acting like someone is forcing you to read it.
And saying Malik is gone is equally stupid...yes we can't change the past...we can't change anything ever in any discussion on this board ever...using that logic there is no purpose in discussing anything...it is a discussion forum and people are gonna discuss the impact of major trades when we are in the middle of a le hunt...
If you want a cheerleader site they are out there...
If you don't want to hear about it, then don't click on the link.
Some of us want to bash the Spurs over this trade and feel it was a stupid trade...either discuss why it isn't with those interested in discussing it or STFU about it and don't click on the link.
I was being facetious about the ankle thing.
But Ed is right, the Spurs were looking good, especially in the Minn game and TD was playing like the MVP by that game. I hope if they get healthy, they can catch lightning in a bottle again, and start to dominate once again.
I beg to differ... Check it out
Those are LA fans...everyone knows that they are always on drugs and are not up to date on the goings on in the world of sports outside of the greater LA area.
lol so what fans ARE credible...Those are LA fans...everyone knows that they are always on drugs and are not up to date on the goings on in the world of sports outside of the greater LA area.
the ones that say rose is so incrediable right jim?
bingo, ducks.
since we're going play the ing IF game
THE SPURS WOULD HAVE WON 2 OF THE LAST ING 3 GAMES IF TIM DUNCAN WOULD HAVE TAPED HIS ANKLES SO THAT HE WOULDN'T HAVE RE-INJURED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
might as well blame Pop for not making Tim Duncan tape his ankles so that he couldn't roll it again.
as for Malik Rose costing us the le....he wouldn't have convinced Duncan to tape his ankles either. If we don't win the le it is because Duncan got injured not because Rose was traded.
Who the cares? Get over it.
Did I miss it, where is the LINK or any truth that TIM does not TAPE his ankles that is hard to believe.I feel that( WILL SEVENING) ? is in charge of this and will not allow TIM to not tape his ankles
It won't matter. They will bring up Malik in a thread about anything: future draft choices, ancient Spurs history, the possible return of the two-handed set shot and the underhand free throw, whatever...Kori,
Please start another forum:
"Malik Rose Doesn't Live Here Any More and Other Spilled MilkTales"
... so Jim, Manny, timvp, and above all Whott can commiserate, and moan at each about the Malik/Nazr trade, share the kleenex, and assuage their traumatized psyches.
I don't remember where but people close to the team have said tim will not tape his ankels. the spurs have begged him to but he doesn't want to. It has been discussed that he might start after the most recent injury.
Excelent... We should show the spurs that so they will believe in themselves over the next couple of games.
Who's defending any of that? It needs to change and get better. What cracks me up is you reaming a guy who's played all of ten games in a Spurs uniform and clamoring for our dearly departed short backup big man who had worse stats his first four seasons with the squad.Is anyone else going to get a kick out of watching AHF defend the TO's and fouls of a player for a change?
Why the does Malik Rose get four seasons to figure things out, but if Nazr doesn't get the Spurs system in 10 games he's a bust?
Talk about hypocritical. And your little "Aggie Hoopsfan gravitates towards stats, etc." mumbo jumbo is complete bull . If it weren't, I certainly wouldn't hold Manu in as high a regard as I do.
Even with Tim out we wouldn't be losing games right now if Manu was healthy. Right now is just proving that Tony will never be able to carry a team like Manu or Tim.
He's still a good player, but he's the third wheel to Tim and Manu.
Funny trick, since you you just said they are 1 and done.No, I am not giving up yet.
Go away bandwagoner.
I am not sold manu without a healthy tp and duncan could carry this team either
manu can only play 30 -35 minutes
I think manu and tp both are equal for the spurs
if spurs did not play marbarry they would have beat the knicks
marbarry is the only player that tp has trouble with
his d is alot better this year then last year
But aggie,
but aggie, aw it.
Your fighting a loosing fight.
ducks,
At the start of last year when Tim and Tony were out, Manu was carrying this team (and did a great job BTW). He can do it, but he's got to be healthy (which he's not).
I don't want excuses for losing games, I want to win a le. I want HCA and I want to win games.
First of all Aggie...you act like Nazr just got drafted...He's been in the league a long time. He's no rookie.Why the does Malik Rose get four seasons to figure things out, but if Nazr doesn't get the Spurs system in 10 games he's a bust?
Secondly...if the Spurs couldn't fix Malik's TO and Foul problems what makes you think they'll be able to fix Nazr's?
Thirdly..the guy we traded has already stepped and become a leader on his team after 10 games...he is filling in for an injured Power Forward on a much less talented and experienced team and they are winning...they are beating teams they haven't beaten in 2 seasons...and every guy on the team just about is giving Malik Rose some amount credit for it...
While the guy we traded for isn't doing other than picking stupid fouls.
Not true...I said you are an efficiency freak and Manu is a very efficient player.Talk about hypocritical. And your little "Aggie Hoopsfan gravitates towards stats, etc." mumbo jumbo is complete bull . If it weren't, I certainly wouldn't hold Manu in as high a regard as I do.
Are you going to say that our current group of bigs is stepping as well as Malik did last season when Duncan was injured?Even with Tim out we wouldn't be losing games right now if Manu was healthy. Right now is just proving that Tony will never be able to carry a team like Manu or Tim.
Go ahead and say that...you'll be wrong.
Tony wasn't wearing down in the 4th quarter when Duncan was injured last season...there's something going on with him this season.He's still a good player, but he's the third wheel to Tim and Manu.
Eva Longoria maybe.
Just because Nazr's been in the league a few years doesn't mean he's gotten good coaching. , Buckets had Byron Scott call him a scrub, and we turned him into an NBA Finals Clutch performer.
As for Malik's TO and foul problems: backup big men are always going to get whistled for more fouls than normal, it's just the league's way.
As for the turnovers, Malik's were never going to be fixed because he had bad hands. I haven't seen the same from Nazr in the way of bumbling balls off his hands out of bounds, etc. Usually if he gets his hand on it it's not going anywhere he doesn't want it to go.
As for the "excuses", we aren't going anywhere without a healthy Tim Duncan. That's not an excuse, it's a fact. If you're going to be moronic enough to spin the very real fact that TD is hurt in a quest to validate Malik Rose's existence, then I have nothing further to say.
WTF? Larry Brown coached this guy for nearly 3 seasons...and then traded him.
Lenny Wilkens was his coach in New York.
He's been in the NBA for 7 seasons...Malik's only been in it for 9...the guy is only two years younger than Malik.
And we didn't turn Jack into clutch ...that's all Jack...Pop didn't find him, Duncan did...and if anything we usually turn guys into chokers.
This guy has been in the NBA for 7 seasons...and not only could he not crack the starting lineup on some lottery teams, but they ing traded him.
Don't ever call Isiah stupid...he just took the Hawks back up Center and turned him into 2 number 1 picks and championship calbier defensive captain and hustle player.
LOL...too funny.s for Malik's TO and foul problems: backup big men are always going to get whistled for more fouls than normal, it's just the league's way.
You are wrong about that because balls do bounce off his hands...I think he has more bounce off his hands than bounced off of Malik's.As for the turnovers, Malik's were never going to be fixed because he had bad hands. I haven't seen the same from Nazr in the way of bumbling balls off his hands out of bounds, etc. Usually if he gets his hand on it it's not going anywhere he doesn't want it to go.
So I guess that means you already know the aswer about how Malik performed VS these guys we got now.As for the "excuses", we aren't going anywhere without a healthy Tim Duncan. That's not an excuse, it's a fact. If you're going to be moronic enough to spin the very real fact that TD is hurt in a quest to validate Malik Rose's existence, then I have nothing further to say.
"We must know the past to understand the present, and face the future"
We HAVE TO look at the past; its the only way we'll fix our mistakes
And whott, I do believe you contradicted yourself
then
WTF? Larry Brown coached this guy for nearly 3 seasons...and then traded him.
Yeah, when I think of coaches who have a reputation for developing YOUNG talent in the league, Larry Brown is the first one I think of.
