Hey Pop... Got Rasho? Yao killed us tonight.

[boutons_]

Francisco/Fabricio/Roberto:
8 PTS
10 RB
0 AST
6 TO
7 PF

Throwing in Tim (if you can find him), the entire front line ed up bad.

[ShoogarBear]

Hoo boy.

[Don Quixote]

I was looking forward to watching this game tonight, but the wife wanted to go on a shopping spree and take me with her.

So what happened?

[SequSpur]

Hey Pop... Got Rasho? Yao killed us tonight.

Rasho sucks.

Yao did kill us though.

Thanks to our ty centers.

[Don Quixote]

You really think our centers this year are any worse than last years'?

I'd submit that Fab and Francisco are playing better than Rasho & Nazi last year, and for a fraction of the $$$$.

[Budkin]

Holy we looked like a lottery team in that game. What the is going on with Timmy?

[ShoogarBear]

This should be a good test for the Spurs' offense.

Actually it was a combination of poor play and crappy luck the few times they did get a decent shot.

Does their payroll come out of your account?

I don't give a what these guys make. The Center position for the San Antonio Spurs has gone from Allstar status to a box of .

[Budkin]

Man getting blown out on the road is one thing. But to lose like that at home in front of your own fans to a shorthanded team who is also a major rival? Pathetic. I hope Pop uses those words again tonight because that is what the effort was, other than Manu. NO is in trouble tomorrow night....

[ShoogarBear]

That was probably the worst performance I've ever seen by the Spurs.

Eh, worst in quite some time for true.

[BUMP]

Rockets have always played defense, but what they've been missing is good shot selection and consistency by Yao. theyre getting both now, and they will be a dangerous threat with the additions of Battier and Bonzi

[upTD]

TD did not good last night,but spurs's C:

Name Min FG 3Pt FT Off Reb Ast TO Stl Blk PF Pts
F. Elson 21 1-5 0-0 0-0 0 2 1 3 0 0 3 2
F. Oberto 7 1-3 0-0 1-2 3 5 1 3 0 1 4 3
spurs C 28 2-8 0-0 1-2 3 7 2 6 0 1 7 5
6 TOs

how about it? nice. against tough opponents, our C always disappear, that is POP's adjusted C.

If spurs lost in PLAYOFF this season, C will be the reason.

[Kori Ellis]

Spurs sucked every which way they could.

Oh well, another game tomorrow.

[dav4463]

Definitely one to forget about tonight.

[timvp]

Spurs were soft.

[ShoogarBear]

Spurs were soft.

Admirable restraint.

[timvp]

Admirable restraint.

[Solid D]

Spurs sucked every which way they could.

Oh well, another game tomorrow.

As Coach Tom Foolery would say...

We got our tails whipped in all three phases. Offense, Defense and Specialty Teams.

Wrong sport but it still applies.

[boutons_]

The only qtr the Spurs won was the 3rd, by a whopping 2 pts, where they came outand played some obviously much more aggressive defense, but they couldn't keep it up, the Rockets just kept hitting their shots.

[timvp]

Merry Christmas, San Antonio.

Sincerely,

The Spurs

[ShoogarBear]

after the game, pop was asked this question in the post game:

"coach, what do you think of your teams execution tonight?"

he smiled and said " im all for it"

An oldie but a goodie.

[Solid D]

ya, i cant remember where it came from, maybe woody hayes?

John McKay - head coach of Tampa Bay Bucs

Merry Christmas, San Antonio.

The Spurs
