So TPark, are you saying that in your opinion Spurs/Mavs/Celts can't beat the Suns?
BTW Congrats to the Suns.
They showed me tonight a team that will not be beat in the playoffs.

Spurs and Mavs? No.
Celtics? Yes.
But I think Suns Celtics would go 7, and who knows what would happen.
Spurs won't beat the Suns though no.
duncan228's first you, I believe.
Nicely timed too.
There have been others, but this might be my first to a Spurs fan. Or a supposed Spurs fan anyway.duncan228's first you, I believe.
Nicely timed too.
Head-case masochism attention fan, more like it.
That works.
It sure looked like Pop was experimenting.
Tim looked like he was in lab mode too with his lefty jump hooks.
We've beaten Shaq in his prime. We've beaten the Suns when Amare goes off for 40 points a game. So it's not like we haven't seen this stuff before.
Someone call up PJ, damn it.
Pssh Pj
I hope we dont have to play them in the playoffs, this year, honestly Duncan is really intimidated by shaq.......
Tension I feel among Spurs Family. Worry us not for today we sleep, and tomorrow we rise as Champions.
We are going to be fine. I can feel it. And I don't give a what happens till playoff time. We get who we get and they get to see something rare before the glitter squashes them. Utah and Phoenix branded our asses, and I'm already over it. This was going to happen sometime because it does to everyone and whatever.
The Spurs have had difficulty focusing for otherwise big games before, but this season is so eerily reminiscent of the 2006 season that there's cause for concern when they can't put complete games together, get up for big opponents, play both offense and defense at the same time or get some momentum going into the playoffs. If they are able to just switch it on for the postseason and suddenly start playing 48 minutes of good basketball they'll be fine, but I don't really see any evidence to suggest it's likely.
I guess that's where the B word comes in.

I don't thnk that Pop is making experiments that late in the season, he never did, but even if he did the spurs were winning. Now they were totally crashed by Suns. Come on let's go come on sunds funny but when you have success behind it there is nothing you can do other that STFU.
Umm after spurs lost it, all my day was like the Spurs lost in the playoffs and that was end of a year for them. I don't know I just had that kind of feeling.
Manu
LOL @ these idiots patting themselves on the back like it matters
I do think pop was truly a spectacle in HD, last game was the first time I had seen closeups of him on my new TV.
If we start Kurt Thomas and Finley at the 3rd quarter we win this game. I don't think playing for tat in the first half was bad for us.
We were actually up a few points in the late 2nd, with both shaq and nash on the bench. What happened, is we lost focus, and let the Suns score easy points, which was one of the most crucial things of all, because with nash on the bench is the time to really up your lead.
Then to start the 2nd half, with Oberto there, there was no doubt in anyone's mind they'd go to shaq every time, especially cuz he is as fresh as he'd be for the rest of the game. And having Ginobili in the starting lineup in that half was just cutting your own off. Pop lost that game for us ugly style with that move.
When we weathered a decent suns run, we had no energy to jolt us back into contention. Parker was obviously gassed after his aggressive first half, and Duncan was playing uninspired and whiney. That equalled to more suns runs after which we just gave up. And that was before the fourth quarter even started.
Lots of bad things happened in this game, but the first domino was the lack of focus to close the 1st half after playing decent, then the 2nd domino was Pop's genius lineup.
I agree for the most part but I just have had a feeling over the past couple weeks. I can't explain exactly why I think and feel it, but we will survive and win.
I think they can, and part of me thinks that they're just waiting until the playoffs to turn on the effort. That hasn't worked well for very many teams before. If they are playing well and healthy, they'll win another le, period. That's a big-assed if at this point, though.
Thanks, timvp for your explanation. I was annoyed at myself two days ago and wasn't thinking cleary. People usually say to me after the loss, don't freak out, don't let it make you mad but I've not any sucess with that.Well, timvp, could guard Diaw? Parker? Ginobili? Vaughn? Bruce on Nash, Tim on Amare, Oberto on Shaq.
C'mon, dude. I don't understand what you mean?
I couldn't even bring myself to comment on this game until today as I was so disappointed in our showing. To make matters worse, the Rockets proceeded to thump the Suns last night and made our loss look even worse than it already was.
I could see frustration from Duncan, but it didn't translate into an improved effort. I truly hope that he can get out of the funk he has been in. And I hope he can get away from complaining to the refs every play. He just needs to go out and play and leave the refs to their job (even if the calls are not going his way). I believe Duncan will do better, but we need him to do it fast. Sunday's game would be a great time to get started.
The fourth quarter woes of late are a huge concern. I hope this is not a sign of things to come and that we can get some momentum going to hit a stride going in. Unfortunately, now we only have 3 games left to figure it out.
