For the first 45 minutes, definitely the defense.i dont know what was worse, the defense, or the coaching
But you are right about Manu, I was screaming at the TV -- Are they saving his 6th foul for Tuesday??!?!

I was saying the same thing.
it was the defense giving up dunk after dunk late in the 4th. manu came back in, got us back in the game, and we blew it. next game, please.
Kori, you need to ask Pop that at the next PC you go to
Sorry, I didn't remember Allen having hit five shots at that point, I knew he had missed several though.Are you going to address the fact you exagerated the out of your point with your 1-for-5 statement?
The point remains, he wasn't really "that hot" until Bowen kicked him in the back. That was almost as stupid as Pop sitting Manu on the pine and thinking he needed to go to Duncan at the end.
So they didn't show the freaking game out here but I am soooo en disappointed in my Spurs. When are they gonna get it together? How bad is Timmy's foot problem?
The defense looked like because Pop refused to give up on the whole switching thing on the pick and roll. Talk about a complete disaster.t was the defense giving up dunk after dunk late in the 4th.
If we make it to the Finals and employ that defensive strategy against Detroit we'll get smoked in four games.
He was already shooting 50 percent. He just started shooting in volume after that. I agree it was stupid of Bowen unless he was getting hurt.Kori, you need to ask Pop that at the next PC you go to

I don't understand the last play... was Duncan going to go one on three?
Why wasn't Parker involved? The best penetrator in the NBA. Ask Eva.
This should always be the option at the end.... It would've been easy...
Why the do they make this game so hard?
Pisses me off, I've been saying this for in years.... There is no creativity from this coaching staff...
Watch some Magic, KJ, watch Barkley over Robinson... ISO up top.. The options the Spurs have would be a damn guaranteed bucket....
forget the pick and roll, with this horrific rebounding i dont think we'l; take detroit to 6. i really thought this rebounding issue would be fixed by now
Kori, I guess the more accurate description about Ray Allen is that up until that point he was having a ho hum night.
After Bowen kicked him, he was on a mission to impose his will on the game. And he did.
It's pretty hard to beat a team if you allow them 64 points in the second half. Not having seen the game, I can only guess that the Spurs started out shooting well and forgot that they needed to play defense. If so, it's probably a good lesson. The Spurs need a bad loss to get them focused. Fortunately, they aren't likely to jump off the nearest roof like many of the crybabies that post here.
^ It's not just one game of bad defense. That's the problem. Last time we held someone under 42% FG%- March 4 against Portand. 8/12 games the opponent has shot over 47% and 3/12 over 50%.
I guess the little bra thing didn't work.
Yeah too bad we didn't have the bra thread for the game.
It's back up now.
Well Eva told us
So hold on on your "best penetrator" thing
instead of sitting in the stands maybe Eva should be on the court to guide Tony some more!Well Eva told us

What are you going to do? Have her spread eagle under the basket?
Yeah.instead of sitting in the stands maybe Eva should be on the court to guide Tony some more!
Pop should think about her as an asistant or somehing like that.
Tony has got the shooting coach and now..."Penetration coach" will be on his a$$ when he won't do it the right way. I mean go all the way hard and strong. And even if he is fast Pop want's them to be perfect. "We don't need fast, we need perfect" And Tony can do both with Pop and Eva.
Go deep inside , strong and fast - well that's sound good.
oh and aggie, in your honest opinion, as of right now, whats your finals prediction?
Like I've said, it will be us vs. Detroit and go 7. I like our chances of winning a game 7 a lot better at SBC than I do the Palace.
Of course, if we act as stubborn come the playoffs as we did tonight we might not get past _allas.
I'm not a big fan of this switch every pick and roll defense either. I mean switching is fine, in certain situations, like late in the game or you can try it midway through a game if nothing else is working, just to change things up (like Game 6 vs. Dallas in 2003) but to use it every possesion from the opening tip gets kind of silly. I mean, why not just have Duncan guard their point all game and save everyone a lot of time? The other team can get that matchup whenever they want it, anyway.
we wont see seatle in the playoffs so who gives a
agreed, but since HCA looks very unlikely, do you honestly think that maybe detroit will get the last laugh this year since a 6&7th game at auburn hills will be tough to overcome?
I believe Pop and Bowen were too in awe of the Nets athletcism, they tried to somehow capture VC's dunkability, instead of focussing on the game.
