Yeah, losing a close game to Miami -- the best team in the Heat -- where Manu and Tony play their hearts out and the other guys' shots aren't falling = coasting?
Good Bye.
It's obvious to me that the spurs are coasting and just waiting for the playoffs to begin. So, I'll take their lead and tune out 'till playoff time.
Spurs have the talent, but don't know if they're hungry enough.
Until playoff time, so long.![]()

It was a bad game that's all
duncan had a bad game
rasho played his usual garbage self
spurs played like crap on defense
Rose was hurt
Tim and Rasho both seemed a little rusty.
Rasho was missing a lot of short shots that he normally makes.
Spoy-yulled.
The Spurs, to my knowledge, have never been this good after 50 games, are roundly proclaimed to be the best team in the league, and are 11-4 against the top 7 teams in the association, but even that is not enough for some. Amazing.
Where were these people all those years ago, when 50 wins was a major accomplishment?? What would they have done back then?
Sometimes it's like people have never watched an NBA season before. Reg season road games are tough to win for various reasons. Spurs did not shoot well v the Heat and had some lapses defensively, but the effort was there. You can look at the schedule and pick the high potential for losses. At Pho on a back to back when the Spurs have beaten the Suns twice will be a hard game to win. At Cleve after 84% in the first half against them at home will be tough to win. At Indiana, 3rd road game in 4 nights...Come on....The Spurs are putting forth the effort.
well, i guess the spurs should just go ahead and loose the rest of there games, i mean, dang, one loss, how ever will we recover.
Don't mind these sorry excuses for fans! They forget that no matter how great a team is, nothing is flawless. Every team is bound to lose some games, otherwise it would be one of a boring season!! lol. Imagine if all the games we played would be against teams like Charlotte or the Hawks, how much fun THAT would be!
You will come back under a new screen name and start bashing the SPURS untill the playoffs.Tasteless SPURS fan just get out and don't come back no more,no more,no more and STAY OUT!
"losing a close game to Miami"
BS, it was the 3rd consecutive crappy effort in a week. Spurs should have been 0-3 on "effort" alone. Vince did the Spurs a huge favor.
PHX won two tough games last week on the road, @SAC, @GS.
The Spurs played crappy soft.
Who benefitted more, was tested better, in their season-as-playoff preparation last week? Suns or Spurs?
OMG! You guys are freakin out. My leaving has little to do with yesterday's game. I still think it's obvious the spurs are going to win it all. Please don't prove Lakers fan right that all spurs fans have an inferiority complex.
CHILL.
I'll be back to watch them win it all in the playoffs. For now, I've got to stop living vicariously through the spurs, at least until the playoffs come around.
totally off the mark. Coasting in a good way, but I'm not going to try to explain it to you. Hint: Pop plays Manu limited minutes. See you come playoff time.

btw, the heat are coasting too.

How on Earth is @GST a "tough" game? The Suns made it tough, but getting a win at Golden State (10-16 at home) is hardly a monumental task.
so then the Spurs didn't lose a close game to Miami? TV I was watching showed a 4 point loss? Anyone else see this too? I need one of those Hi Def TV's I guess."losing a close game to Miami"
BS,
:p
Funny, I must need high definition, too. Nothing I saw on Sunday was particularly alarming -- what I saw actually gave me great hope about what we'll see come April, May, and June.
To be fair, Chicken Little . . . .errr, boutons' point is that the Spurs didn't give a good effort, but it seems to me that if you're arguing about a team giving poor effort and barely losing on the road against a quality opponent (a moving definition in boutons' world), you would take some measure of confidence knowing that they hadn't played well but still almost managed to pull out a victory. It seems to me that you'd be fairly certain that the team has another gear still. But I guess that would be a logical inference from the argument -- such extrapolation doesn't always apply with the "sky is falling" gang.
I'm not questioning that the Spurs lost, nor that it was close.
I question why TF did the Spurs turn in a 3rd consecutive crappy effort, esp when the opponent is EC#1 ? Why can't the Spurs "find a way to win", even when they dig their own holes? The MIA loss was not an outright give-away like most of the Spurs losses.
Every team as a let down, and gets ambushed (loss @POR) but we're looking at the Spurs "letting down" for 3 consecutive games.

Who cares if you leave?
Why do people always feel the need to announce they are leaving? Who cares... go away if you want to, but don't start a thread to tell people...
In Sequ's honor I must say:
belongs in the vain look at me forum

maybe spurs were thinkign about the allstar game
spurs are not going to win by 100 every night
Didn't you bet me 50 v-bucks and lose?
Neither is beating Sacto, these days. boutons likes to complain about Spurs intensity, but Sacto is one of the worst clutch/effort teams in the league. In addition to losing to Phoenix, they dropped contests to Dallas and Seattle, along with Portland. Sacto dropped the Phoenix game when Miller's layup was swatted into row 11 by Amare to end the game. Do they learn their lesson? No. They put up another weak layup, which admittedly was goaltended by Dampier. The point is, they went for a layup again in a game ending situation instead of a dunk, after being punked in the previous game.How on Earth is @GST a "tough" game? The Suns made it tough, but getting a win at Golden State (10-16 at home) is hardly a monumental task.
Rasho wouldve dunked it.
lol, I keed I keed.
