[phxspurfan]

Damn, Duncan again for 3...this isn't the ASG foo

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

why there are so many bulls fans ?

Bulls fans were everywhere when MJ played... maybe some of them weren't bandwagoners?

[Mal]

Where is Spurs D, when needed ?

[jjktkk]

tbh, not gonna get greedy. We competed against one of the top 3 teams in the league without Manu and Leonard, who has been playing decent for us.

[DAF86]

I ing hate that Rose always plays like the player he's supossed to be against us.

[lefty]

Oh My God Timmy missed 3

[MaNu4Tres]

I've never seen anything like it. Especially not here.

All the ex-Laker fans in the city jumped ship tbh..

[timtonymanu]

I still don't understand why Pop had to put in Bonner and Jefferson in the 4th.

He should have gone with Splitter, Duncan, Anderson or Green, Neal, and TP.

[Tp9gospursgo]

We could've won. Almost beat a great team with 2 of our best players.

[DPG21920]

This is just good ball by Chicago guys. No reason to get upset at this . Rose kills us we are force to take it out of his hands, we do, and then deng knocks down a big 3. We showed some grind getting back into this time and time again.

Agree somewhat but the Spurs fatal flaws were on display and its alarming.

[DesignatedT]

Pop playing with some inbound plays. Good because he needs some practice, they've been pretty bad this year when needed.

[wildbill2u]

Deng scored 8 of his 10 points in 4th quarter. Hit two big 3s.

[GSH]

Not trying to make excuses but at the end of the day were without Manu, Leonard and have 2 guys playing their first game back from injury. Not exactly the ideal situation for us

They were better than us tonight - but not by much. One of the best teams in the league, and all that separated us was a few boards, or a few loose balls. Far from embarassing.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Well, really tough way to start after a great RRT. Great team in CHI, but the Spurs defense was too porous and they missed TP tonight. Spurs played a top 3 team compe ively though.

Pops really questionable line ups in the fourth really hurt as well.

The Rose double outside the 3pt line was the play that broke the game open. Doubling that far out is always very risky.

[ElNono]

Pop ing with ESPN by calling a meaningless TO

[Mal]

Spurs are not clutch. They need Manu , bad

[phxspurfan]

gg I respect Chicago now

[DBMethos]

Oh well. No Manu, no Leonard, Splitter and Ford first game back...we still played them close up to the end. I'll take that.

[Ice009]

these pussy ass chicago fans in SA. Move to chicago es

Spurs fans are soft. I don't like the Spurs crowd at times. Pathetic energy levels, let's other teams fans invade the arena, just spoiled and not hungry enough.

[BanditHiro]

gg I respect Chicago now

you just hate the Heat tbh.

[DPG21920]

Let's hope the Spurs regroup, hide their massive flaws and bounce back like they have all year

[timtonymanu]

It's obvious that our team still has a lot of work to do. The defense isn't there and like expected, a good defensive team exposed them.

[Barfunk]

like I said, tough battle without Ginobili and Leonard on the road.... no worries lol.... road games like this are always tougher than when you are playing at home lol

[mexicanjunior]

Spurs are not clutch. They need Manu , bad

Pop had Jefferson and Bonner in when it mattered...Spurs never had a chance tbh...

[wildbill2u]

Good game considering our injured players, but we missed good opportunity to beat them.
