    It's fun watching the old guys on the team look, well, old.

    Bowen looks like he's running out of gas, Finley is done, Horry looks spent, Barry is throwing in a whopping two points off the bench.

    If we're going to keep looking like ass then at least start giving Ime more burn to figure out if he's really going to be the Bowen replacement (and given old man Bruce some time to rest). Give Richardson more run as well, time to see what he has (can't be any worse than what we're getting out of Finley and Barry.

    Props to the Spurs front office for being so damn content this off-season. Can't wait for that Terry Porter playoff moment this April. My bet is it comes from Michael Finley. He is done, he's looking like a puss, and for some stupid ass reason Pop worships the guy and looks the other way with his suck play (probably because he came at such a deep discount to the Spurs).

    Frustrating to watch, we all called it over the summer. And I have to listen to piece of Mavs fans every day at work.

    Barry and Finley were actually playing well until the Spurs sunk into this hole.

    We're just going to have to fight through this and start playing winning basketball again, just like every other year. Believe!

    Amazing how Finley is done a couple games removed from scoring 16 and 18 consistently.

    AHF i agree somewhat but you're wrong about Finley. His age is a strength this season. He plays good more often than bad this season and he's like everyone's dad. He is like the father figure on the team that Robinson had in 2003.

    They didn't take a toll last year in the playoffs, don't see why they should this year.

    That's awesome production if we ever have Manu and/or Duncan out in the post-season.

    With a healthy squad, Finley doesn't get the volume of touches he needs to be consistent on offense. He's a great father figure and would be great for token minutes off the bench here and there, but I hate that we are having to rely on him as a rotation player.

    Back during the 17-3 run, we were all talking about how deep this team is. Now they're all too old to play? You dismiss Finley's contribution (remember, he's streaky and plays better with more minutes), and Barry's been back for two games! Give them a break.

    I have to agree that Bruce is looking very old, as is Rob, but we saw similar stretches from both of them last year. Guess when? January.

    Also, what exactly should the FO have done last summer with no capspace?

    By no means is anyone happy with our team's current level of performance, but it's a rough patch. We've seen it before. , I was in SA this time last year and watched them lose to LAL and then Houston, and the situation felt much like it does now. What happened? Pop finally benched Beno for JV, gave the "no trades - you guys do it or you don't speech" and that was that - 20-3 after AS Break, killed the playoffs, game over, 4 rings.

    Once Pop settles his rotation down and they come back from the rodeo trip we'll know a lot more. Right now, it's last January all over again, and the sky isn't falling just yet...

    LOL, a few weeks ago the forum consensus was the Bruce was playing the best D of his career. Now, the consensus is that he's looking very old.

    Same old Spurs fans.

    Bruce Bowen looked great on defense tonight, dunno what people are watching or where they think he "lost a step"

    He supposedly lost a step last year and all of a sudden gained it back in the playoffs.

    Shocking.

    You act like the guy is Steve Smith.

    He is far from that.

    Fans are so fickle....so spoiled.....4 freaking championships....this team does this every year.....last year: EXACT SAME THING! ......

    Let these guys work out the problems. It is an 82 game season and we really don't need to try to win 70 games and burn out in the playoffs do we? This team is full of great players. We aren't done yet! GO SPURS GO !!!!!

    The only thing that makes me happy is that we are having bad time NOW. Therefore, I believe that it is time left to improve...

    I was thinking the same damn thing!!! When he's off, they want him traded, when he's on... no one says ! Everyone else just camp on the 3pt line, Fin does have some mid-range game at least.

    Okay, you win. Most of the team looks 50. Good call.



    On the flipside, what should the FO have done? It's not like we had capspace.
