I didn't know the Pistons had a player named Rick.
i know it sux losing but thats be honest rick hamilton from the pistons wasn't even gonna play he was hurt and a time game decission to play and lindsey hunter is out if were gonna use the injury card then why cant they?thats just face it we lossed they were hot and we are struggeling theirs nothing wrong with that it happens to every team but to make excuses makes us look desperate.
I didn't know the Pistons had a player named Rick.
Well point being that they HAD Rip playing--no Manu for the Spurs.
And every team in the NBA wishes they could struggle and be 20-7.
rick hamilton.isn't that his name?lol
Umm... read a little bit before posting.
MOST Spurs fans are bashing the Spurs for playing so horribly and saying that they lost because they got outrebounded, outhustled and outworked.
Pointing out that it sucks they had to play on the road at Christmas isn't making an excuse. Pointing out that Manu/Tim are injured isn't an excuse. It's just stating facts.
You just got here, but you are already telling people how to act and what to do.
Think/Read before posting.
And his name is Richard, Rip or maybe Rich .. but I don't think anyone calls him Rick.
Nevermind.
goof ball lol
you need to read some post,in the game thread every other person are like pistons beat us but if we had manu we woulda won which is not a provin fact because i recall we also lost to the hawks so its more then that and we need to face it and improve we cant keep gettin beat by weak teams.please dont tell me what i need to do i'm going by what i read on here.yeah richard hamilton sorry.
Its amazing to me that some people are taking the absence of Manu so lightly.
Are there problems with the Spurs right now? Yes, in rebounding especially. But with Manu playing, it would have been a MUCH closer game, if not a win.
but in saying that you have to also consider what if richard hamilton was heathy and lindsey hunter wasn't hurt the coin flips both ways.i hope spurs dont think the same way as us fans because they need to improve becase we lost to the hawks almost lost to the raptors thats just no excuse for that.
Who told you that?rick hamilton from the pistons wasn't even gonna play he was hurt and a time game decission to play
He was never a game time decision. He wasn't even listed on their injury report at all. He wasn't even "probable".
Was it after the game that they decided he was a game time decision?
I know he's banged up but so is every player in the league.
yes he was he hurt his hand against the clippers and he rehurt it against the warriors
Like I said, I know he's banged up.
But he was never a gametime decision.
Exactly. Even localy here in Michigan, I never heard one little question about Rip's health and ability to play on X-Mas.
The game before (vs Golden State) he was indeed considered somewhat questionable due to a bad back.....yet he still played....and played well. (28 points on 12-19 shooting)

I don't know where you think you're getting your Info from, but there is no truth in your statements about RIP not playing on Christmas.
Punctuation. Its a beautiful thing.
it was on 1200 WOAI here in san antonio.
She or he posted 10 times too many.
Links are also a wonderful thing. I haven't even heard any Piston fans tell me this.
I guess it's ducks or ducks's sister.
Rip was indeed "questionable" against Golden State because he landed hard on his back against the Blazers, but everyone knew he was going to play against the Spurs. I don't care how hurt he was.
Me? I would have preferred he sit, because he made some attrocious decisions. He was the only thing that stopped that from being a 20+ point blowout. Forcing shots, dribbling off his foot, etc. Awful.

gino didnt play vs the Hawks either.you need to read some post,in the game thread every other person are like pistons beat us but if we had manu we woulda won which is not a provin fact because i recall we also lost to the hawks so its more then that and we need to face it and improve we cant keep gettin beat by weak teams.please dont tell me what i need to do i'm going by what i read on here.yeah richard hamilton sorry
So Ginobili not playing is NOT an excuse for losing??
Ginobili's importance to this team would be like Billups being out for the Pistons.
All the love and respect in the world for the Pistons. They slapped the spurs yesterday.
