Scoring at Home

[Ghost Writer]

Lakers: Gasol
Suns: Shaq
Mavericks: Kidd
Denver: Artest (tentatively)
Spurs:

Yeah, homers, I know the Spurs won it a year ago, but the team is older, some key players are injured and others aren't as effective.


If the Spurs do not win it this year, it will be because the front office was fooled into believing their own hype after last year's le run.

Did they realize that the #1 seed Mavs got upset in the first round and the suspensions changed the face of the Suns series?

When your team is not as good as it was in the previous year and the compe ion has all acquired star-quality players, it's not a panic move to shore up a weakness or two.

Make something happen, front office!

How many of these type of threads do you make a day? Why not just bump the other 10 to 15 already made by you.

usually my best chance at scoring comes when I'm at home.

Great feedback, guys.

I guess you are cool with not doing anything as everyone else gets better.

It would be one thing if the Spurs were healthy and the rotation was firing on al cylinders.

[hater]

stop trolling GW

[LilMissSPURfect]

the other teams have to match & tinker to deal with the spurs....SPURS don't havta to do nothing....help would be appreciated but theyz the champs...

If you're not happy with the Spurs as they are, feel free to either change teams or email the front office. But could you please stop spamming the forum? We did get your point about 10 threads ago.

The Spurs don't need to do anything?

Last I checked, Elson was out of the rotation, Bowen was being saved for the playoffs, Parker was battling an inflamed foot, and Barry had a calf issue.

And the best teams in the West all got better.

Then there's that.

Wait wait.. injuries in the middle of the season AREN'T supposed to happen? Damn we really do need to trade ASAP!

and yet the Spurs are a game and a half out of the top spot in the West..

then there's that chicken little..

All of that could, arguably, suggest that the Spurs are going to be much better when they are whole -- much more like the club that started 17-3 than the club that's gone 18-14 since.

Yet another scared prima donna thread.

I just don't see the Spurs trading for a big name player so I don't get my hopes up even thinking about it.

The Spurs really don't have the assets to do so anyway and it appears the Spurs FO have a financial plan they don't want to veer too far away from.

* Duncan, Ginobli, Parker, Bowen will not be traded.

* Finley, Udoka, Horry, Oberto, Vaughn will not be traded unless a team comes along with an offer the Spurs simply cannot refuse. I doubt the Spurs are offering up one of these guys first however.

* I don't think Stoudamire can be traded but I don't see the Spurs giving him up either.

* Barry, Elson are the best bets with expiring contracts. Bonner has a reasonable contract as well. 3 players isn't much to work with.

I want to be as self assured as the rest of you, but it's very unsettling when you see your team taking some hits and their compe ors all improving.

I don't know how you guys do it.

Is it confidence or foolhardiness?

[FromWayDowntown]

I'll be interested to see, also, if all of those teams actually got better with their moves. The Lakers clearly did, but the jury is out on both the Suns and the Mavericks.

Putting big names into the lineup doesn't necessarily make a team better.

I have no idea what the Nuggets are doing if they get Artest. Their greatest weakness last year in the playoffs was depth and yet they keep depleting what little depth they had to bolster a starting lineup that already has some tension with respect to roles.

7-1 the last 8 games. Seems like we're going uphill again.

Five or six years ago, these threads would have provoked hundreds of responses and drawn out for days. Now I'm sensing... boredom.

I think you mean Jenna Jameson. Lots of moaning, but not really saying much.

Are you suggesting we trade or bench Parker?

No, no. I do, in fact, mean the guy from Spidey. More specifically, the version of him that was in Spider-Man: The Reign. He was all doom and gloom and such.....yeah, I'm a turbo-nerd.

From the pvssy that wants to send the same package for K. Thomas that could land us R. Artest.
