i agree..Timmy missed easy shots, but the refs did screw them over
Yeah and you didn't want those grapes anyways.
i agree..Timmy missed easy shots, but the refs did screw them over
with our upcoming schedule and our obvious struggles with playoff teams, how far can we realistically fall? 6th or 7th spot?
Get rid of those Los Spurs jerseys too
I understand what they represent
But theyre ugly and we aint played decently with em on
Manu's stupid foul was the dagger-- sorry, Manu. The Suns were only up by 3 at that point, and you send to the line a guy who shoots 90% fouling him after he grabs a rebound.
The Suns did a better job of making adjustments in the fourth quarter, especially putting Grant Hill on Parker and varying their offensive plays.
Man oh man, some of you spurs fan (not all) are such crybabyies.. I mean , really, do you remember this guy ??
Yeah, this asshole ref that called some of the worst shots in NBA history and now has all sorts of legal trouble for ing up a few games with the spurs (including some when suns COULD have won the entire championships), now THATS some bad ref'ing, so really , any spurs fan has no call when it comes to a ref. Every team deals with a few bad calls every game, happens to the suns and the spurs , so come up, stop being a little and just suck up the in loss, your team is still damn good (but suns will prevail!)
KT played well timley jumpers, same with Udoka. Manu showed up played well in teh 1st half and his three point shooting helped us (4-6), Duncan played pretty ty/soft but still gave 17 points/10 Rebounds. Other than if you look at the box score even though the scoring was distrubted among the big three 8 points from Udoka and 9 from KT isn't gonna cut, this game was obviously a misnomer, HTF does Finley score 1 point. Bowen scored 3 and Oberto scored 4, the rest scored 0. This is a poor team outing. Can't fault the Big three, because outside of Ime/KT every played like .
I pray the Spurs don't take your at ude toward this. It's that kind of punk-ass, cavalier-type at ude that will get you beat. Look here dude, this aint got to do with going for the best record. This is about playing your BEST BASKETBALL as you head into the playoffs. Playing with a sense of urgency and instilling doubt into the minds of opponents that you may face in the playoffs. The Spurs failed in all three areas today.
Besides all that, the margin of error between playoff seeds 1-6 is very slim. This is no time to start dropping games and free-falling out of a possible top-four playoff seed.
Hence, it being like a loss to Memphis.![]()
Two more this month.
Yup...the Suns went only 3 of 14 from beyond the arc...the Spurs are lucky they weren't utterly blown out today.
Something is seriously wrong with the Spurs...something that will have to be addressed before the playoffs, or it's going to be an early exit for Pop and company...that is, if they even make the playoffs.
Also, let me reiterate what I said already...this was the second loss in a 5 or 6 game losing streak for the Spurs...they are going to lose to the Nuggets tomorrow night, the Hornets on Wednesday, and the Pistons on Friday...and I'm not so sure they can beat the Sixers on Saturday...I hate to say this, but there is a very good chance the Spurs could MISS THE PLAYOFFS...yes, you heard me right...MISS THE PLAYOFFS...the 12-game win streak was a fluke...the Spurs should have lost several of those games, too.
I know you are all thinking I'm crazy...that I'm overreacting...but I see nothing from the Spurs recently that makes me believe they can repeat...I used to think that, but not any more...unless they get their together, or the other WC teams start losing games, the Spurs are not going to make the playoffs, or if they do, they will get bounced in the first round.
To put it simply, the Spurs SUCK as a TEAM. Not one game this entire season has made me think, "This TEAM has their together". We have three really good, somewhat consistent players and the rest are mediocre at best. And I know pop is supposed to be a really good coach and all, but you have to wonder what the is going on in his head. The season isn't over because of this choke job. The Spurs are not dead. Yet. But if this is how they plan on continuing to play, they are ED.
The Suns are a tough matchup for the Spurs.
Shaq and Amare in the middle makes TP reconsider taking it to the hole.
Duncan and Amare play even
Manu gets Bell on him
Both teams have quite a bit of Playoff experience but the Suns are more athletic.
Time for Nugz tomorrow, Spurs just gotta shake this off and get ready for tomorrow against a running Nugz team.
What a crap loss. I thought the Spurs had it in the bag when they were up 5 with 5 minutes to go. But easy missed baskets by Duncan and Ginobli late in the game really hurt. They had good games early on and were a big reason we were in the game but they stumbled when we needed them the most.
Parker and Thomas were pretty solid. I liked Udoka in the 1st half but he wasn't a factor at all in the 2nd half.
Finley continues to struggle. He's not getting open looks like he was before. He's dribbling around and then taking a shot. We need guys like Parker or Ginobli driving and kicking out to him. And wtf was Pop thinking bringing him in with 18 seconds left when he was 0-5 and hadn't played for like 8 minutes?
Horry, Vaughn, Bowen (on offense), and Stoudamire didn't help one bit.
Shaq hurts the Suns against most teams but he's going to be a killer against the Spurs.
Parker coulda went for 40 easily
That floater he prides himself in was available the entire first 3 quarters
Kickin out to Tim is usaully a sound desicion but when Tim is scared and just holds it
The Spurs are better off wit Tony lettin it fly
*TD sets high screen*
Tony: "Here ya go Tim"
Tim: "...........But he's so big"
*turnover*
*foul*
*Spurs timeout*
The Spurs were really lucky the Suns were missing so many 3's. They won't miss that many open looks that often.
Really liked Thomas nailing those 15-17 footers. I just wished he could have done a better job keeping Shaq away from the basket.
Can we whine like y little babies if they lose tomorrow as well?![]()
Hmmm. Manu committing a stupid foul. Where have I seen that nightmare before? Oh yeah, Game 7, 2006 WCSF. Spurs up by 3. Manu commits an absolutely assinine foul on Dirk, who scored the basket and completed the FT for an And 1.
Again I ask, why Manu Why? WTF were you thinking about fouling Dirk in that situation?![]()
Damn shame that after overcoming a 3-1 deficit to tie the series, they lose that game in OT, after it was setup by a stupid foul by Manu.

this shows everyone one thing:
Duncan is either our catalyst or the weight that can bring us down, depending on how well he plays.
All the talk about Ginobili or Tony being "the man" on our team just isn't true. We need Duncan to be playing at MVP level in order for us to win, bottom line. Duncan needs to play with some ing balls. Right now they're tucked behind his legs.
And i haven't even talked about Finley and Udoka. No one gave Barry the credit he deserved. Udoka isn't an adequate back-up for Fin. He makes stupid plays on offense, and has a inconsistent shot. If your're a guard on the spurs you've got to be able to knock down the three with some consistency and stay in the flow of the offesne. Our offense is messy when he's on the court. And he isn't the defensive player that eveyine claimed he would be when we picked him up, so he is virtually useless out on the court. He's a player fo average-below average bball iq, and players like that don't last on our team (ie Elson). I expect him to be gone by he end of the season. Whoever said this guy would be apt to back-up Bowen when he retires was clueless, because right now he'd have trouble being the back-up towl boy
Yes, thanks to the Spurs, what once was a ed up trade that was destroying a team is now the best thing they have done. Of course, the Spurs played like utter and would have made Chris Dudley look good if he were playing.
