Suckfest

by sungo on Apr 6, 2006 2:35 AM CDT in Spurs News

Great all around suckfest from the Spurs tonight. Every King starter outplayed their Spur counterpart. Duncan apparently still has the flu, but that did not stop him from bitching and moaning the whole game. He, along with Manu, need to just shut the hell up and play. Even I am tired of it at this point.

I feel stupid and somewhat petulant for pointing out the obvious, but tonight was a SEGABABA for the Spurs, their Achilles heel all season. And we all know there are no BABAs in the playoffs. Yes, I know SAC played last night as well and I do not mean to discredit them. I am merely pointing out that tonight is not indicative of what the Spurs will bring in the playoffs.

One fun side note to this season has been the on the court relationship between Rasho and Van Exel. I think half of Nick's turnovers have come trying to get the ball to Nesterovic. Tonight he tried a mini-backdoor lob to the big fella and Rasho just sort of came to a lumbering halt as the ball flew over his head. The pass was only 6 inches behind him, but The Solid Slovenian is not quite known for his "mid-air" adjustments. Nick didn't look too happy. In fact, he had the same look that Duncan had when Rasho missed a layup off the side of the backboard. I know that does not seem possible, but that's what happened. TiVo does not lie.

Re: Suckfest

I'm telling you - Nick Van Exel will come back to bite the Spurs. Most un-Popovich signing ever.

Re: Suckfest

Yes, it's more reminiscent of a Cotton Fitzsimmons kind of move. Remember Vinny "The Microwave" Johnson?

Re: Suckfest

Actually, I don't remember that. I really don't even remember the season where Dominique Wilkins led the Spurs in scoring. I don't even own a Spurs jersey.

I'm a total fake.

Re: Suckfest

he can only bite us if we actually play him. Count me firmly aboard the Beno Bandwagon. Or the Brent Barry for backup PG bandwagon. Or the Manu Ginobil for backup PG bandwagon. Or the Rasho Nesterovic for backup PG bandwagon.

Namely anybody but Nick Van Exel bandwagon.

For some reason, Pop really took it the wrong way when Beno complained about his booboo, and ever since it's like Beno's dead. This saddens me. I am hoping that Van Exel gets the playoff game he's gonna cost us out of the way in Round 1, and Pop can learn before it's too late.

People shouldn't be afraid of their government, their government should be afraid of its people.

Re: Suckfest

i'm not sure if anyone else cares... but did anyone notice the blog advertisement to the right/left of this here blog? 2005 Houston Astros: The CHAMPIONSHIP season??? WTF?! Have I been mindfucked like Hurley into actually remembering the Astros losing the Series? Can someone correct me here? And no, that isn't an asterisk on that title, that's a copyright sign (c). Would anyone actually purchase this besides Roger Clemenses son?

IF this is indeed how it's going down, where the hell is the Seattle Soopersonics 2005 (northwest*) Championship season DVD? With the limited edition box set with Rashard Lewis game worn and unwashed panties included?

I actually caught this game last night and the announcers made note of the spurs segababa stat. And i've recently been hearing other announcers referring to +/- stats to discuss players. Strange.
