Word! Nobody said it would be an easy series. Will always love my Spurs.
Re other post Soft fans quit. Please the rest of you fair weather fans off the bandwagon now.
Support your team win or lose.
It was a bad night where the team just could not get the needed run to get over the hump when they tied it up several times. In short = bad game, but move on to game 5.
Out, Spurs in 6.

, i stuck around after all those years the Jazz killed us. When Hakeem dismantled us. Hen Fish shot us in the nuts.
Playing like ass for one playoff game isn't a huge shocker.
No one is quitting
I'm not quitting.
But after last May, very traumatic for me, I'm simply not as invested in this team as I was last year.
If the Spurs don't give a , I don't give , either.
How can you support a team that turns in a pussy-whipped game like today?
Fans need to see effort, commitment, intensity.
I NEVER mind playing well but getting beat (loss @POR was no problem for me), but when the Spurs play like , I don't give a .
I'm still a Spurs fan, but their commitment has to win my commitment.
You jinxed us. You predicted the sweep. JK
I quit. We're soft, the sooner you admit it the less it will hurt when this team chokes it away.
I don't think anyone's quitting. Just tired of the same old on offense in the playoffs, which in turn leads to spectacular all-around collapses like we saw tonight.
I agree with you. Everyone here falls apart after a loss. Get a grip people.
I do not quit, Im with the SPurs 24/7, i dont know if that possiblem because i do not have dreams of them, but i am with the Spurs no matter what...they could trade Tim Duncan for Evans, or trading the Coyote for the fat guys in Dallas...im with the spurs...<-------well never mind the trades, since it will most likely wont happen, but the Coyote for the fat guys, it would kind of match because it would stand for San Antonio, we are not fat, we are just big bone
no I don't quit let the others jump off the wagon just to hurt themselves jumping back on after we take them in 6.
Spurs in 6
No Worries
Spurs in 6
Part of being a Spurs fan, like it or not, is that our team has an annoying tendency to play down to the level of the compe ion. Jazz. Grizz. Shorth-handed Sonics. It rips my guts out when it happens. But if you think about it, no relationship is perfect. Think about it. Your dog may bark too much or pee on the floor. Your significant other may smoke. Your toddler may not share when you'd like him to. Your parents may come to visit and drive you nuts trying to change things in your life. Do you flake out and dump those people because you get annoyed with them? You shouldn't, because you yourself are not perfect either. Can any of you lazy ers on this blog run a high screen and roll, get the hammered out of you in the paint and then get back and man up on D? Everybody likes to talk smack and argue on this board. I wish I had a dollar (vbookie of course) for evertime somebody on this board jumped ship only to return with the next win.
I'd like to find some positives in this game, but it would be bull and spin.
The only solace I can take (besides the fact that I have a real life in which watching millionaires play ball is not a big part) is that I can't remember the last time the Spurs lost three straight with a healthy Tim Duncan. I also know--KNOW--that Seattle played way over their heads tonight (and props to them) and that they CANNOT win at the SBC Center.
Its too bad we didn't win. The fact that we couldn't put these guys away quickly may hurt us in the WC Finals. Or it may have the opposite effect and toughen us. Regardless, its been an imperfect season for an imperfect team. And as imperfect a fan as I am, I still BELIEVE.
"the last time the Spurs lost three straight with a healthy Tim Duncan."
.... was exactly 12 months ago.
i with u. i wont ing quit
I am sick and tired of this fair weather fan bull !
I'm pissed and I don't think that the Spurs can win this series, let alone a championship at our current level. That doesn't make me a fair weather fan. People who say that the Spurs will lose this series are partially right. They will lose if they keep playing the way they did in games 3 & 4.
Tony and Manu need to get their heads out of their asses!
Barry is hopeless, and Devin needs more PT!
Nice to get that out of my system.
All four series went to six games in 2003....
We still won the Championship....
I may be a bit concerned or worried, but deep down I know this is our year again...
I'm waiting for a Miami-San Antonio Final so that Duncan can best Shaq again.
And hopefully the "most Dominant player on the planet debate" can finally end.
I've rooted for the Spurs for a lot of years, most of them the team was soft and crumbled in the playoffs, but I still rooted for them. Why should this year be any different?
I am cool.. but if they loose 2 more ... I want pop's arse on a platter.. for cutting Rose
The team B4 the All Star break was almost .. err was a different team.
The team before the last two games was the same team it was at the beginning of the year, but better because they didn't have an overpaid undersized power forward stinking up the place and living off his reputation and blind fan man-love.
""All four series went to six games in 2003...."
But that team was very tough, confident, that gave them the best road record in the NBA, something like .600 against playfoff teams on the road after 1 Jan. They suffered badly from FTs and TOs all year, and needed some incredible runs to win some playoff games, but they had the toughness to do it.
These 05 Spurs are soft, no confidence, no leadership, no road toughness consistently. I thought the 2 W's @DEN were for real, playoff road toughness to make one forget about the season road softness, but it seems those 2W's were a mirage.
The Spurs are Tim's Franchise, but he's not demanding that people step up and play their game to help him out. Tonight was classic, he played a great MVP game by/for himself, but didn't, couldn't?, rally the others to make the contributions.
They didn't come out ready to play, was Tim isolated under his headphones in the dressing room? or was he working up some intensity, supporting the guys, firing them up to go out and grab the series 3-1?
Is it too late for these Spurs to "turn in on"? To find the toughness they didn't show in the season? Is "turn it on in the playoffs" even a valid concept?
If you can't get it done in the season, like win road games against good teams, like win in the face of hustle and defense, how can you get it done in the playoffs? I really don't think it's do-able. The idea that the season and the playoffs are totally different and disconnected seems to be a myth to me.
Losing one game by 1 pt by missing 15 FTs, then responding by getting blown out in the next game, that's simply not a tough, championship team.
I wish none of this were true, but now the Spurs have lost the momentum and confidence, and Sonics have gained it all. They will be coming to put the Spurs away Tuesday, and make it official in Game6 before their home crowd.
It's very hard to have confidence in the Spurs when they don't have confidence in themselves.
Pistons had to get done today, @IND, not go down 1-3, and they did.
Mavs had to get it done today, not go down 1-3, and they did.
Spurs could have put this series away today, 3-1, but they chickened out and choked. And it's TIM'S GODDAMN TEAM.
Tim's great game today doesn't excuse him from being the team leader in non-peformance areas, like holding people accountable, challenging people to step up.
Would Tim call out Tony or Manu or Brent the way Mavs' leader Dirk did to Erick?
MALIK 4 teh win!
Im with spurs!...GO GO GO....
damn ov, a certain flower just got served.
