Boston - 24 fouls, Spurs - 21 fouls. It's a conspiracy!
Second quarter (when we gave back the lead).

oops, im sorry 24 games behind for the east
Finley is letting everyone down. he's making poor decisions, can't hit shots, no playing defense. It's like he's sucking the energy out of his teammates.
Steve Smith situation here. Does Finley simply not have the legs left to do anything anymore? if that's the case you gotta bench him.
don't worry about the standings, that's all tough matchups this year!
I'd rather finish 8 and play the Rockets!
Nope...Spurs just choked it away...again...I checked the game at at the end of the 1st, and it was 28-11 Spurs...and I knew...just KNEW they would still lose...yup...I was right...at least I won the vBookie...WTF Happened I turned the game when The Spurs were up 22 how did you guys lose? Was Tim hurt
Nothing lasts forever. The dream of repeating is very hard to imagine now.
Wow this one hurts because we had such a big lead and blew it. I'm really worried about the Spurs, and I never really get worried over reg season losses.
Is that from the first half?
I am sick and tired of the blown leads! Its like they can't sustain 48 minutes. Don't remember the last time we had a 48 minute game. They have the talent to match anyone, if they play a half or 3 quarters... =\
Good point. I don't pretend to know much about basketball, but I know a choke job when I see one. And I'll cheer them on until they lose in the first round.
Mmmmm ... boobs
Even if Horry's shot had fallen and the Spurs had won, I still wouldn't feel good about the win...good teams...championship teams...DO NOT choke away a 20+ point lead AT HOME!!!
Forget this year, not making the playoffs might be the best option at this point of the Duncan era.
when's the last time we've just throttled someone from beginning to end. that's the 1 thing i hate about this team the most.
This also pissed me off...Horry played a magnificent game, but why does Michael come in for the last 3-4 minutes and Horry sits the rest of the game out until that last few seconds. Why not bring Horry back in instead of Finley when clearly Horry was playing way better than Michael tonight. Why does Michael get the crunch time minutes? Steve Smith POP. WAKE UP.
Pop is smoking some crazy stuff on the bench there.
Rockets will not be first.....pretty sure the Spurs are tanking to avoid the Mavs. They saw that 2 -7 matchup and wisely want no part of it
Ginobili should have started the second half. Instead, the lethargic Spurs let the celtics catch up.
Kinda like that 1-8 matchup last year, eh???Rockets will not be first.....pretty sure the Spurs are tanking to avoid the Mavs. They saw that 2 -7 matchup and wisely want no part of it
This is literally "Team" Duncan's team (pun intended). It only goes as far as Tim takes it. Now, I begin to wonder whether Duncan's mileage is beginning to take its toll on the big guy, or he's just saving himself up for the games that really matters. I'm beginning to feel that it's more of the former, than the latter.
Traditionally, March is when Duncan starts asserting himself and starts showing everyone why he is in the class of MJ, Magic and Bird. This year, Garnetts and even "Dalemberts" are showing no fear against the greatest power forward in NBA history, even at this late stage of the season.
It's disheartening to be a Spurs fan nowadays. The 11-game winning streak seems so long ago, and with the benefit of hindsight, was just a prelude before we entered the eye of the storm. Now, we're in the middle. No Manu or Tony can right this ship, and lead our Spurs to a repeat. Tim Duncan is our only hope. He is our only salvation.
And these recent games are beginning to look like his eulogies.
NEWS FLASH
Spurs superstar and future Hall Of Famer David Robinson has been arrested in connection with the knife assault of Spurs guard Michael Finley after Monday's home loss to the Boston Celtics. Moday's game marked an unbelievable stretch in which Finley was unfathomably useless. Sources close to the team were tight lipped about the incident but murmmerings amongst Spurs fans and innanet messageboard users were that Findog sucked ass and need to be dealt with accordingly. Matt Bonner could not be found for comment.
GS will beat this Spurs team but luckly the Spurs are tanking to avoid them as wellKinda like that 1-8 matchup last year, eh???
The problem with the Spurs is not the occasional off-game by Tim Duncan. The problem with the Spurs is that anytime somebody other than the Big 3 scores in double figures, it's an anomaly, and most of the role players are equally ineffective on the defensive side as well.
It looks for all the world like Robert Horry, Jacque Vaughn, Damon Stoudamire, and most especially Michael Finley, simply can't squeeze any more game out of their aged bodies. Bruce Bowen still has something left, but his decline is obvious. Unfortunately, the Spurs just don't have enough other bodies to keep from playing those guys. Getting Barry will help... a little... but he's not exactly "fresh legs." Overall, the only athletic players on the team are Parker and Ginobili.
Consistently, we are seeing the Spurs run out of gas at the end of games, either giving up a decisive 10-2 run in the final couple minutes, or just crapping out in the second half and getting blown out. The Big 3 have played too many minutes this season carrying the dead weight of the old farts to keep doing it now.
Basically, somebody has to do the improbable and get hot at the right time for the Spurs to do anything in the postseason. The only players with enough physical capability to do that at this point are Ime Udoka and Brent Barry, and putting trust that either of those guys will be the difference-maker is a rather faint hope.
What a meltdown (by Spurs fans I mean).
Keep the faith.
Hey, at least I know how to bet my V Bookie
The last time I can remember laying a 48-minute beating on another team is the NBA Finals last year against the Cavs...I don't think we've had any real convincing wins this season against any of the over .500 teams...
