I haven't ranted in long time ...

[mountainballer]

True.

Spurs still shouldn't lose to the Sonics.

Spurs shouldn't lose to an below average shooting Sonics team.
(they could lose to any team in the league, if they have a given night when even the crazy shots are falling)
Spurs shouldn't lose any game when Tim and Manu combine for 56 points on 50+% shooting.
Spurs shouldn't lose a clutch game against the team with the probably worst clutch game record in the league.

some claim that the situation isn't different to the same point one year ago. that's wrong.
the situation looks more like the Lakers situation in 2003.
their superstars were still delivering MVP numbers, but the supporting cast was just to bad.
that's what we also see. you can't blame guy's over 35 that their games is regressing.
and you can't blame guys like Elson and Bonner, that they don't compensate for it. they are 3rd string talents. any team needs them, as long as they are not expected to be part of the regular rotation, or even starters.

When Fin Dawg drives and dunks ala Manu

then the spurs are back.

[Kibic]

What was Pop's insurance in case TP is injured?

[MmP]

Agree with Kori, Finley got stucked in the easiest posible screen in the NBA. It was like he wasn't even paying attention. Pop must had gone nuts with that.

[Ghost Writer]

I blame the front office for piling even more bricks on the same tired old mule.

No team with Tim Duncan should ever lose to the 2007-08 Sonics under any cir stances.

[urunobili]

Oberto's missed layup was VERY costy... i can;t believe we have lost like 5 games because of giving last shots or clutch one's to Bonner (like 3) and Oberto now... can;t Pop just draw a play For Tim or Manu or Tony? damn

[TDMVPDPOY]

if we missed the playoffs?

fire pop ASAP

[The III]

Kori ,I think that you hit it on the head.

[George Gervin's Afro]

We have a mediocre team.

[TDMVPDPOY]

if we missed the playoffs

are we worst defending champions than the one hit wonder miami heat team that won teh championship in 05/06

cause its highly likely

[BonnerDynasty]

It's only January?

[ploto]

I think Parker's injury is good enough evidence for the Spurs to put their collective feet down and tell Ginobili, Splitter, Oberto, and Parker, no more summer national team bull .

Not going to happen in an Olympic year.

No. The West is just stacked. And we're farking old.

[hater]

That's whom I have been comparing them to, as well.

[angel_luv]

It's not over yet. In fact, it hasn't even begun.

Believe.

Of course, I am in a better position to feel positive than the rest of you were since I had the benefit of a good early night's sleep and missing the disappointing fourth quarter.

I will say though that I was surprised and disappointed to wake up to a loss.

Oh well, next!

[Indazone]

Just sign Billy Spanoulis!! Just in time to make a big push for the playoffs. No Parker, no problem. Just put in the Greek Steve Nash.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Thanks to Angel quoting Timvp I have Apollo Creed singing "We've Only Just Begun" in Billy Madison stuck in my head. Despite Carl Weathers lovely singing voice this may be worse than having to deal with the latest Spurs blunder. But I'm keeping the faith.

That arrow seems really random at first if you have sigs turned off.

[RonMexico]

I'm kind of disappointed Parker is hurt: (1) he's on my fantasy team and (2) I'd like to see how the Suns play facing a healthy Spurs unit.

I take what I said back. I forgot Ron Mexico was a Suns fan.

I hadn't meant to talk smack.

[MoSpur]

The Spurs can actually win tomorrow night. They're gonna have to be on their game though.

Lucky you..

Again, if this injury never happened, there's no way in I'm trading Barry with the season he had.

But who else are you going to trade? If the Spurs are going to get help, and from what I have heard Stoudemire is coming...Barry is the only one who is going to be able to get you "something" in return. There aren't a lot of teams out there who want to help the Spurs. So you are going to have to find a team who is willing to give up someone who helps the Spurs, in order receive someone who can help them for the stretch run. If you look at the Spurs roster....the only person I would even be remotely interested that is tradeable (EXPIRING CONTRACT PEOPLE!!!) is Barry.

Spurs fans don't want to trade the guy who is playing well, and they expect other teams to take the guys who are sucking.
