    Many times players with athleticism think they are so great they are above learning and being coached about team ball.
    There have been many athletic type players that crapped out in the NBA because of this very problem.
    your absolutely right. you know EXACTLY what i'm thinking.

    So true. Beyond Tony Parker ... and maybe Ginobili when he's feeling tight and right, the Spurs are one of the most un-athletic teams I've ever seen in the past 20 years I've been watching basketball.

    But that shouldn't really bother you Spurs fans. The Spurs have been probably the most un-athletic team in the league over the entire span of your championship history. It's never been about being the best team, the most talented team, or the most athletic team ... you guys win because of Popovich's system. Period.

    It's ugly. There's a lot of hacking and fouling, cheapshots and cheating, whining and complaining to the refs on every play ... but it works. You win. Everyone else in the league hates you, and all the fans of all the other teams despise you ... but Pop's system exploits every blind spot and loophole in the rulebook and all of the human weaknesses of the referees, and you win.

    Congrats to the San Antonio Spurs: the most un-athletic champion in the history of professional ing ATHLETICS!


    That probably why the Spurs committed the least fouls of any NBA team this season.


    By the way, if your precious PG had any athletic ability, your team might have faired better than one-and-done.

    Ooooooooooo. A YouTube video. You might have an argument if we were bringing him in as a Bowen replacement. We wouldn't be. He'd be replacing the corpse of Michael Finley's offense.
    My comment and youtube video was a DIRECT reply to your comment that JR Smith passed up Kobe in the picture.

    Wouldnt you say that the video was a pretty good comeback?

    Yeah, I know. You actually just made my point about how they constantly and whine to the refs in order to manipulate them into favorable calls. It works, because NBA refs are terrible, incompetent, gutless, weak-willed chodes who allow themselves to get royally worked by coaches like Pop.

    Interesting you would say that when in Rd 1, all I saw was your coach whinnin, cryin, makin that stupid face when he wasn't gettin the calls he wanted, but like I said earlier he must have not thought too much of your city or your team cuz he bailed on both of yall. Pop 11 yrs and counting, hahaha

    you know what the problem with athletic players are? basically, 3 things.

    1. they dont know the fundamentals of the game/they can't pass, shoot or dribble.
    2. they dont listen/have at ude problems.
    3. they are prone to injury.

    our players aren't so athletic, but neither do they have the 3 above mentioned problems. (well, manu is a tad bit injury prone).

    what i'm beginning to think more is that players that played under coach k at duke might fit in well with the spurs system.
    No the Duke players have always under performed at the nba level. They never seem to be as good as they looked at Duke.

    No, dummy. He left because he's a little who couldn't take the pressure to win, and couldn't handle the media/fan criticism. He left because he's a stubborn little child who refuses to take constructive criticism from his bosses, Kerr and Sarver.

    Now he goes to an awful team that (he thinks) nobody expects to win anytime soon, to a city that is happy (for now) just to be rid of Isaiah.

    The funny thing is, he's gonna get absolutely crucified by the fans and media in New York if he stubbornly refuses to change his coaching style to include playing defensive, playing the bench, and developing young players. That honeymoon will last maybe 1 year ... tops. In fact, I bet they start to turn on him before next season is over.

    BTW, I wasn't talking specifically about Popovich whining and complaining to the refs all game long (which he does), so bringing up D'Antoni kinda misses the point.

    I was talking about the WHOLE SPURS TEAM constantly ing and moaning to the refs after EVERY SINGLE PLAY. After a few quarters, it wears the refs down and the calls start to break the Spurs' way for the signature late-game surge the Spurs are known for.

    I feel your right up to a certain point. Duke basketball is played in a controlled, steady, team approach. Defense and communication amongst the players and coach are top notch. Mental mistakes happen alot less compared to other programs. Even when a top notch recruit comes to play at Duke, they are broken down to the fundamentals, retaught how to play Coach K's system, and then they can blossom. Another common trait among the spurs and duke. the players are all well behaved, and they would die for their respective coaches.

    Now I understand what you mean by Duke players not doing well in the NBA. Grant Hill was marred by injuries, Jason Williams and Bobby Hurley both had career ending injuries, Corey Maggette never turned into a superstar, (let alone an all star), William Avery, Trajan Langdon, Shane Battier( Don't you think he would be an awesome spur?), Luol Deng and Christian Laetnner. Elton Brand is the only dukie to have a respectable career so far. But even he is far from HOF status.

    What this means is that both the Spurs and Duke don't take bad at ude players. , I've never seen so many white preppy players on the Duke Bench before last season. They will always win the psychological aspect of the game, can they win the physical part? The Spurs got their asses kicked this postseason in the physical part of the game. That's my two cents.

    Find me the article or interview where D'Antoni says he left because he hates the Suns and Phoenix. You won't be able to, of course because it doesn't exist ... because it never happened.

    So basically, your little theory is just a bunch of bull you pulled out of your own ass without a shred of evidence to back it up.

    Exactly, because I could care less about the Suns, PHX or anything that has to do with either. I just find it funny that he would leave his contract early and since we all know the excuse he gave was bull , IM FREE as not a Suns fan to say whatever malicious thing I can about them. You on the other hand claim to be a Spurs fan and yet defend your buttbuddy DannyB and his team to the teeth. Like I said go find your BF and open for his load since you love the Suns so much haha
