I think the Spurs will be alright, but there is absolutely nothing about the original post here that cries, "Reason." This is a Spurs fan trying to convince himself that everything is ok.
True. Good point. I thought the Spurs would be able to rev up with one crank. Apparently they'll need one maybe two more cranks to start this machine.Hmm, that Boston prediction worked out pretty well for you too...

As bad as we look and as frustrating as these games are to watch, I still have a hard time seeing us losing 4 out of 7 to one team.
Yeah, they can win a championship. There's no denying that.
But they've done nothing to show that they will in the past couple of weeks. I'm not jumping ship, but I can't sit here and act as though they're in good position to repeat.
Thank God - one good thread after all.
Sometimes the machine is too old and no amount of cranks will help. Sometimes it's better to just throw out the old pieces and buy new parts to replace it.True. Good point.

Yeah, let's look to a Mav Fan to help point out whether or not the Spurs have championship mettle. Your thoughts?
Thanks.
I hope that this piece of namby-pamby Pollyannaism isn't taking the place of your game thoughts for tonight. Fluffy homer takes are the easy way out--you can bump it if you were right, but if you turn out wrong, you can then just criticize people because they didn't Believe enough.
timvp I think this is like a media thread. Like one of those ESPN bull stories.
You can't turn around and make a thread like this and expect anyone to just be on board. I believe and always will in playoff time but for the regular season, it's too late to find whatever 'groove' unless we won out or lost once more..
This is natural though. People want to be inspired so a thread like this will do it for them.
But also this is reality. You can't just dream all the time and say hey, things will be better. The Spurs are losing every which way and we have added issues on top of old ones (FTs, Rebounding). Our defense is bad, our offense is worse, and our bench is non-existent.
I believe we can do anything come playoff time. But, in present time. We suck. I love em even though, we suck right now. Bad.
And I'm one of those people that don't wanna pep talk or to be cheered up. I'd rather face the loss and the drama and fight it again tomorrow. And the day after.
If I haven't been a fan for so long now would have been the time I'd jump off this boat. But although the waves are soaking me, it. It's sorta fun on bottom when you know what we are capable of doing.
I don't think the spurs are as bad as they are even though they are something like 1-6 the last several games. I would say they are actually in the middle. A lot of these losses except the Hornets blowout could have gone either way. Right now the spurs are suffering from Murphy's law. It seems like that in every game the worst thing that can happen will happen like tonight the celtics comeback from 22. I think the spurs should have gotten this game it felt like a fluke loss. Seriously as good as the celtics are its rare as in this league to comeback from 20 plus points and win a game.
Link?
I remember KEDA asking if people though the Spurs as cons uted at the time would win the championship. I remember a lot of other people, including Kori, saying they probably wouldn't.
The Spurs can get one more summer out of this lawnmower.Sometimes the machine is too old and no amount of cranks will help. Sometimes it's better to just throw out the old pieces and buy new parts to replace it.
Believe.
Just calling it for what it is.
My team affiliation has nothing to do with anything. As I said, I believe the Spurs will be fine. But your post absolutely, undeniably cries of a person who is trying to convince himself that things are fine when he clearly has doubts that they are.
Much like many others on here are overreacting to the loss, you are also overreacting, but in the opposite direction.
Link to where I've ever done that?
The Spurs were in it at the end and they didn't lose due to age, they lost due to not playing for 4 quarters.
There was nothing alarming about this loss.
Well, at least they're getting the losses out of the way quickly now.
What part of the post do you have problems with? Please give us your insight since you obviously know championship basketball.
Thanks
LOLing in this thread for real..
...I just saw a unicorn.
They haven't played for 4 quarters in about 8 games now. Of course this was an alarming loss. Especially considering they had about a 23 point lead in the first quarter and all the momentum. They were coming off a 3 game losing streak on the road, played a game back home, this should have been a must win for the team.
Why is it that the Celtics who comfortably will get the 1st seed in the East, and who were playing without one of their All-Stars in Ray Allen, could show up for this game and play in the 2nd half on the road, but the Spurs couldn't do it at home?
Well, this is ALL good, but the question is whether we CAN MAKE the Playoffs this year?
The only thing that the Spurs really need to worry about is convincing the team that it is really 2009....and an odd year.
DD
the only thing that will save this spurs team is if they all drink an ergot-tea concoction, and do some soul searching.
Thank you for saying that...this is precisely the type of comment and at ude I can't stand.
Spurs fans discounting the notion of playing well in the regular season, based on what happened last year. Fine, there have been some spectacular example of this in recent memory.
But this is not really the norm is it? Thinking of all the great NBA championship teams...Did the Bulls complacently glide thru the regular season? Lakers? Celtics?
Playing like dominant ass-kicker is never a bad thing IMO.
