well the lakers don't play D, it helps
was inspiring, but also made me wonder where the this fight and fire was in the Spurs this postseason. Seriously, wtf? I got so mad watching a ridiculously depleted Houston team scrap and fight its way to a win against the Lakers while the Spurs put forth garbage games in 3 out of 5 contests. Game 5 was especially disappointing since our backs were against the wall and we responded by falling behind by 16 points in the 2nd half and having everyone but Tim play like scared chickens in the 2nd half.
signed,
Still bitter about an early playoff exit Spurs fan (just being honest)

It was just one game and they were able to play quicker without him.
I'm curious, who do want to win, Rockets or Fakers, I want neither but I HAVE to choose Rockets....then I hope they lose the next round. I know this is a stupid question to ask, but I had to ask. I want either Nuggets or Cavs to win it all though.
And the Mavs do?
Because...the Spurs have mediocore role players?
Barkley said it a few nights ago on TNT, how the Rockets signed players around Yao that are Pittbulls. Artest, Scola, Landry, Lowry, Battier, etc..
Our kennel is comprised of meeker breeds, outside of the big 3.
This team had plenty of heart, it's just that it sat on the bench wearing street clothes watching Michael Finley and Matt Bonner play their last five games in silver and black.
Exactly. Some of the players on the Spurs squad this year just didn't have the heart to compete for a whole game several times over. It was a two man show the whole way through.
After luckily avoiding Dallas and sweeping Cleveland in' 07, Spurs thought they could put anyone on the floor with the big 3 and still contend for the le. It's as if they never factored in the effects of age, and have now essentially fallen off a cliff in terms of being a real contender.
Perhaps.....but the Spurs weren't going to be on top forever....it was going to end. I think the Spurs can still contend so long as the big 3 can stay healthy however they need to start building towards the future....get some quality role players and prepare for the post Duncan/Ginobili and Popovich era.
I never expected the Spurs to be on top forever, that's a bit obvious, no? However, there was a rare opportunity to extend our le run, and we blew it.
It's simple, we had bonner.
Yeah...this isn't rocket science. If you take away Bonner, Finley and Udoka and add Scola, Battier and Landry we probably beat the Mavs in 6.
yeah they had a coach who did not say they had no chance without one of their key players
Of all the teams, the Rockets play best without their franchise player(s). Its almost as if the team has resigned itselft to losing either McGrady or Yapo or both so they've prepeared themselves to compete whenever it actually happens.. kudos to them.
Well, the spurs did it with the one win we got. That's about all you can expect out of the Rockets too. Book it.
Bryant went 7-17 with 15 pts, and Shane "The Bleeder" Battier went for 23. Ain't gonna happen again, I assure you.
The thing that pisses me off is watching Scola fight for rebounds hit the open shots and just plain leaving it on the court!
well u can just STFU.
Timmay, TP and G-hill played heart out but the rest of the team just didn't click
plus coach p's terrible coaching
The Spurs didnt quit or give up in the series........they just couldnt make shots when it mattered and they didnt cover the 3 like they used to.
In the Yao years. I heard on a morning show that Houston is 8-16 vs. Lakers when Yao is in the line up. When he's not in, today's win makes it 4-0.
It goes beyond what the coach says. Adelman didn't need to say anything for everyone to know they're severely undermanned, and if they would have lost it was probably what everyone expected.
The reality is that nobody in our team stepped up outside the usual suspects. The good news is that the coach and FO should be fully aware of this now, and we all expect them to react accordingly in the offseason.
Yes, but it's worth repeating......I still think this current group has at least one more le in them if and that's a big IF everything falls into place.
This was, by far, the most gutless Spurs team in a long time. They got blown out by so many good teams in the second half of nationally televised games this season, there was an aura of "quit" around them way before Manu got hurt, which was just the final nail in the coffin. Frankly I'm happy they managed to put one good effort together before getting eliminated.
