Here we go with Armageddon meltdown.![]()
Today's loss was completely inexcusable
pathetic showing
We shouldn't be blowing games like this, this late in the season
We aren't going to make up 3 games on the Suns, and our complete disregard for executing down the stretch along with ridiculous small ball killing our rebound chances is gonna make this look like the worst looking spurs team heading into the playoffs since the TD injury of 2000
Here we go with Armageddon meltdown.![]()
Pop needs to quit giving up on Elson so damn soon in games. How can a guy ever get any confidence, consistency, or figure anything out when you yank him so damn quick?
I don't know if pulling Elson made that big a difference, but 7 minutes of Oberto guarding Diogu sure boosted Ike's confidence.
THANK YOU
I was saying this in the game thread
Elson hardly saw anytime in the 2nd half
And we've all seen the stats when Elson plays 25+ minutes ( i believe we're like 19-2 and when elson plays more than 25 minutes or something)
I think our coach is a huge question mark going into the playoffs and cosnidering he's won 3 rings, that is ing sad
You're working on a ban, dude.
Losing games by missing FTs=Championship form

Seriously? 20 out of 23 and you're going to sweat this one loss?
Meh.
quit being rational and stuff.
I would actually have preferred us gettin blown out and blaming it on "one of those nights" then faltering in crunch time execution after having a 96-88 lead.
It's just inexcusable at this stage of the season.
You expect them not to lose? Here's a newsflash - had they gotten blown out you would have made another thread saying basicaly the same thing but for different reasons. Losses happen because you play poorly. It happens.
This was more the case of pure slacking... but still a pathetic loss.
Bad time for the Spurs to choke like es cuz I'm stuck in that tily managed Chicago O'Hare airport awaiting my late ass flight to SA. Time to vent:
The Spurs did everything but show their ugly asses tonight. Inexcusable loss and choadf choking punk clutch situation play, not to mention weak ass free throw misses by Bowen, Manu and Duncan. Soft .
I can excuse Bowen and TD for missing cuz when it comes to FT's I don't ever expect those guys to come through anymore, but MANU on the other hand.........just wtf
Just one of those nights...
Small ball is blamed on every spurs loss. If a spurstalk poster coached the spurs, we'd be pushing a perfect 82 wins!
but its not though that's the problem
You don't fail to execute THAT badly in crunch time when you're up 8
It's one thing to miss gimme shots but to give up a layup like that in crunch time and the lack of execution down the stretch stems from something much deeper than an off night
It's not so much the fact that the Spurs lost to an highly under manned and sub .500 Eastern Conference team on the road. It's the fact that the loss highlighted the Spurs biggest weaknesses which have yet to be addressed since LAST playoffs: Lack of rebounding, lack of a big man, and small ball all of which leads to poor defense and easier baskets at the other end.
You can't win championships with Finley as your PowerForward trying to rebound and defend the paint. It's just never going to happen. Either Horry needs to get better and figure out a way to turn back the clock 5 years or Pop needs to learn to stick with Elson for longer streches giving him a chance and more confidence........or better yet play Bonner, Ely, or even f*ing White at this point.![]()
Strange game played against a strangely energized team, role reversals for most of Spurs players, a squad of black and silver imposters, Twilight Zone flashbacks anyone?
Well - what got you 20 out of 23 is what got you a loss tonight. The rotation has been pretty much the same the entire time, except that when the loss happens everyone spazzes out.
I'm no fan of small ball - but I really don't think the Spurs have many options that look all that much better.
What no threads ripping up Ginobili like there would be of Parker?
The most dangerous games for a top team are the ones played against a desperate team.
Dallas was pounded by Golden State in March (117-100).
Nothing to worry about ; we'll be fine
I figured that was covered already
