See this is what I don't understand.

You need all 3 to potentially win a championship.

Why always go to the perpectual debate on who is better? Manu or Parker?

Bottom line is without Manu returning to form, even with a super-star Parker, Spurs still can't win a championship. So what's the point of debating?

ElNono going DPG style on hater, nice effort but still a lot to learn from the master but I'd give a B- for the effort

As bad as this loss was it can be the best los of the season to fire up the spurs.

Pop can address many things and draw attention of the players more then after a win. Unfortunately Spurs might lose #1 spot in the West which oh well might not matter that much depends on the matchups. So it was not all that bad of a loss.

Well ya see, this is where I disagree, I thought the Suns game would have been the game to fire up the Spurs, but then the Portland game happened. That's when I thought to myself, this is going to be the game that turns around the Spurs season. Then the T-wolves game happened. Then after a couple of heads or tails victories, the Houston game happened. That was the game I thought would be the turning point, but after a few more flip a coin games, the Miami game happened. So yes, the Memphis game was a bad loss but it won't be the game that costs them HCA ( there's been plenty of other games for that) and I doubt it's the game that turns around the season. It's just another bad loss on a long list of bad losses since the all-star break.

Pop still doesn't have a friggin rotation set and the season's nearly complete. The Spurs aren't the Miami Heat where they can turn it on and off like a faucet when the postseason arrives. They need to be a cohesive bunch with everyone playing well.
