Not buying it buddy, playing like crap is no confidence booster
Spurs will not go undefeated this season, they are going to lose more games.
And knowing that...I much prefer to beat the living out of the best teams in the NBA, and lose to absolutely suck teams without 2 of their best players.
No reason to sweat this loss...
If we had lost to Phoenix or Sacremento I would have doubts about if we are the best team in the NBA...thanks to our teams performance, I do not have those doubts. We lost to a team that I know for a fact we are superior to...the Spurs are obviously fatigued from 2 tough games and injuries, and the 3 games in 4 nights pattern has always been the one that snagged the Spurs...
No biggie...if you have to lose, and all teams do, this is the best kind of loss to have. It has absolutely no impact on confidence...you just shrug it off as one of those games.

Losing sucks.
2 out of 3 is really good road trip. Considering the wins at Suns and Kings.
This lost is just a bumb in the road to the championship.
It was a back to back. We blew them out by thirty at the Rose Garden just a month ago.
Chaulk it up to the "On Any Given Sunday" factor, but for basketball.
Yeah but beating Sac and Phoenix is...especially in the manner in which we did it...and because of that this isn't a confidence killer....
Winning this game wouldn't have increased the Spurs confidence...everyone knows Portland sucks.
The Spurs were on empty against a VERY athletic team, that also had a good night with the jumper. happens.
I think after last night they had a let down, ready to go home, the whole 9 yards.
34-10.
Still first in the west by a game.
Pop is happy though.
Closer to getting out of the All Star job lol.
And were sputtering to the exit ramp in the middle of the third.The Spurs were on empty against a VERY athletic team
When Tony parker cant outrun people, you KNOW the team is tired.
Spurs lost they shouldn't have, why is it good to have a loss? There hasn't been an answer to back-to-back games.
Wtf...
Idiot.
TPark, I knew it was over in the first half. I actually saw Manu walk up the floor on offense. I almost fell off the couch.
Sean was right: the game was lost in the first quarter.
If I understood what the you were saying I might be offended...but seeing as how I don't, and you are a proven dumbass, I'll just say thanks for disagreeing with me.

Can I put it any simpler?
No.
So, I guess I'll have pity for your "Thanks"
The Spurs best games have been on the second night of back to backs.There hasn't been an answer to back-to-back games.
So suprise, your wrong again.
SPURS are going to lose to bad teams if we have lost the past 2 games and won tonight everyone would be ing that we can not beat the good teams.So get over the lost and move on .We will lose 18 to 22 games this seasond.
Yes you could...you could eliminate the "there hasn't been an answer in back to back games" part of your post.
Because quite frankly that was a stupid ing statement since we are 8-3 in back to back games, probably the best record in the league in that situation.
Any other loads of you want to type out before I sweep you away?
Ouch.
We will lose somewhere between 17 and 23 games (worst case).
However, tonight B.S. Spurs came out totally flat when if they had jumped on Portland = game over. Pop did everything to get em motivated with subs utions etc. but this one is on the players!
Mavericks lost to the Clippers big time.
Folks, IT HAPPENS.
I refer this team, as lke the Cowboys of the early 90s.
They played down to the level of there comp, and when there was a big game, they played great.
Phoenix and Sac are great examples.
Spurs could've controlled the tempo, but they didn't.
They were running all over the place on defense and Duncan wasn't staying home to guard the paint. Hence the offensive rebounds and the Miles slam.
Dude needs help and it isn't Rasho.
Whottt is right. This type of losses don't hurt at all. It's just a matter of the Spurs didn't come to play. It gives Pop and the coaching staff reason to and the players a reason to listen.
The Spurs tried to coast. That's what happens almost all your good players are under 30 and they don't know to bring it every night.
The Spurs needed a wakeup call anyways after those two huge victories. It's not time to start coasting.
Interior D wouldve helped.
But wouldn't have won the game.
Miami also got thumped by Phil last night but still have trouble with this loss FOUR reasons:
1) Spurs were making a good comeback and could not make a key stop.
2) They let an average player have a career quarter against them.
3) Despite hitting FTs all night, Duncan and others missed some key ones down stretch.
4) Just because Spurs owned this team and if they had jumped on them per post again = its over.
MadDoc
I believe you are wrong.
You got the wrong record in back to back games.
Portland, just like Houston, Seattle and Memphis, exposed the Spurs weakness. The center position.
Take Duncan out of the middle and teams are going to challenge the Spurs. Dude has no help.
Houston has 3 centers. Memphis has a few. Seattle is big down low and Pryzillier looked like an allstar against our center squad.
Spurs aren't coasting anywhere.
