Man, it is true that Spurs fans will about anything.
If they had a worse record, it would be that, but it's tough to argue with the best record in the West and the second best in the league, so we'll argue instead about WHICH losses they were and how the wins were no good either, since there wasn't enough passion.
Okey-dokey.
Piss and moan all you want. There is no reasoning with someone who doesn't like reality.
Thank you, Dr. Naismith.
I don't disagree, but I do think that there is a reason the Spurs are compe ive every year and it's entirely bound up in the guy who wears #21. Take him away, and that group might compete for playoff spots, but not much more than that. The Spurs need the other guys to play for the gold ball, but there's no chance for a gold ball if there is no Tim Duncan here. It's as simple as that.
Sure...I am disappointed in the Spurs' vs. the lesser teams but I am confident that will change...it always does...usually around rodeo road trip time in Feburary.
Like some someone posted they are playing like crap and are carrying the 2nd best record in the League... even the Pistons sometimes struggle against lesser teams (they llost in Utah). Come on people get a grip.
Sure TD is the main reason we win consistenly....but without a solid supporting cast he would be just another great player on a 2nd tier team that cimes close but doesn't get over the hump.
they llost in Utah
Utah played out of their minds (+28 RBs), not like a lesser team.
Just as Portland played out of the minds to beat the Spurs @POR last season.
Just like an Arenas or Allen Houston hitting everything he throws up.
Those games just happen to every superior team.
That's not the same as the Spurs playing ty or mediocre basketball to lose to a lottery Atlanta or NO playing jsut OK basketball.
__Tim Duncan is one knee injury away from his career being over.__
__And the Spurs don't have God on their side, either.__
These posts from boutons seem familiar. Last year after every Spurs loss, he said they lost because they played badly, but whenever Phoenix or Detroit lost, it was because of a fluke, injury, or unusually good night by their opponent.
Playoff results:
Western Conference Finals: The Phoenix Suns won once against the mediocre San Antonio Spurs; however they lost four times, twice because of a Joe Johnson injury, once because of an unusually good night by the Spurs, and once on a fluke.
NBA Finals: The Detroit Pistons showed their dominance by beating the San Antonio Spurs three times, twice by convincing blowout. However, Detroit lost four times, once because the Spurs played unusually well, once on a freak blowout, once on a lucky shot, and once because of foul trouble.
God loves Dallas now because of A.J.
Isn't rebounds considered a hustle stat? So the Pistons just didn't hustle? I think such a huge differnce is an indication of playing poorly...or not showing up at all...Pistons are supposed to be great team...maybe they should trade the team.
Portland won last year..... o....Mcfly...we won a le.
We also lost to the Hawks last year too....refresh my memory...didn't we win the le last year even though we had similar lapses in effort?
