Uhhh....so if Finley doesn't hit that miracle shot (10% chance he hits that?), where would they be instead of "back?"
timmy, i think i've seen this before.

We're SOO gonna beat the Jazz on Wednesday.
Hopefully, the one thing the Spurs team did NOT take from this game is that they can still win by showing up for one quarter.
"we're back"
a little too early for that. Beat the Jazz, Suns and Mavs in a row or at least 2 out of 3 and then, we're back.
BUMP!
we're not!!!
Now we are truly back!
The Spurs are still back. They played well and had a chance to win despite being dominated in the middle and outrebounded by a thousand.
Duncan is playing great and the team is showing signs of life. Overall, I like how this team has played on the Rodeo Road Trip so far.
Hopefully it continues.
This was still a Spurs Basketball type game for the most part. If Okur isn't wearing the red cape tonight, it's a very similar vibe to the Laker game.
Back or not...right now the list of teams I want to duck in the playoffs includes the Rockets, Mavs, Lakers and Jazz, in the West....Keep in mind the Lakers were missing two starters. I have a feeling I'm not gonna like the Nuggets much either.
It't not really a heart thing...it's just bad team composition for this type of NBA and Pop seems to be out of ideas.
^^^ add the suns to that list
I'm not worried about the Suns yet...they still don't play enough D, let's face it, the last time we won a le they were the easiest team to beat.
Seriously. We lost by 4 pts and played a horrible 3rd quarter and got outrebounded by 20+. We are not that bad of a team, we just need some help rebounding. That's pretty much it.
crap! i didnt realise you guys play the Suns tomorrow! Talk about a tough ask, b2b on the road vs a rested Suns team.
Spurs by 5
If Ginobili has a halfway decent game, the Spurs win.
Period.
I think we're back. The game was decided by the final seconds, but a team that's outrebounded by 20 + shouldn't be in a position to win. So if that says anything...
That said, it was very winneable!!! we just didn't come out on top, because we can't afford sloppy decisions, errors, lackadaisacal possessions. Anyone notice when we got control at the end of the first half, how we kinda got too comfortable and allowed a few misses by our shooters, just because they worked for us in the 2nd. The back to back to back 3's?? It was like the players carried a "eh, we'll make it up in the 4th" at ude at the beginning of the third.
I blame Pop's "BENCH" last resort option for Manu's crappy play, his minutes were so rigid. There were times when he NEEDED to be in, and other times when he wasn't needed.. He sucked today.. but the refs were punishing him towards the end of the third. So meh. Manu didn't have things going for him.
Besides that's a weak way at looking at it for the team loss. Why single out Gino in this close game? That's no different than saying "If Duncan didn't miss a couple of his shots we win period!."
Wow TPark is this photo from your signature is photoshopped?
btw - yup, the LA game was not a spark just a fluke
Check again, Duncan and Parker combine for 52 and we still lost!
we still don't have a bench, and now ginobili has caught the suck bug from sitting with the scrubs at the bench.
We really can't blame Manu for sucking now, he has been accomodating for the team and beleive it or not it does affect his play.
Pop's rotations still suck and his obsession with Finley and small ball is consting us.
no way in we're back. more like we took as step back.
I'm more half-full than half-empty.
The outcome of the game was still in doubt with about 15 seconds to go. If Heat-Check Okur doesn't make that shot, then the result could've gone Silver & Black.
The back-up PG is still an issue, so is the lack of perimeter shooting that has afflicted this team. Both Pop & Jerry Sloan are coaches that can JUNK UP a game. Yet the Spurs were still right there.
I am willing to watch them sear a little so that when the time comes they will have sizzle with their steak.
