moognish

It had to be said. Thanks, Mr. Powell. It was a terrible showing by Tim and our defense.

I understand the IDEA of putting Duncan on West but then Duncan is sitting out at 18 feet watching Chandler or someone other NOOCH big tend to the offensive glass, which was already a problem last game with Duncan defending the low blocks. Honestly, I would rather be aggressive in the passing lanes, play good one-on-one defense, and take care of the glass than focus on chasing jump shooters off of screens.

Tim absolutely has to play better or we will get swept. I will not accept anything less than a 20-10 night. And I know no one wants to say it here in the sucksession for Gino (myself included) but Gino has screwed the pooch two games in a row now dating back to the last game vs. PHX. We need more passing, quicker moves to the basket, and less standing around. I am very curious to see if Pop makes any significant adjustments. Start Gino?

He is injured so we have to give him a little break here, both his ankle and groin are bothering him. So he can’t explode on the offensive end! I really think it was pretty lame of Pop to have played Manu against the Jazz in the last game of the series when he should have just rested him for the playoffs!

But I’m looking at the situation in hindsight, and the biggest question I know we all have, can Manu recover without adequate rest..since there are playoff games every 2 to 3 days?

The Spurs aren’t winning anything this year without the big 3, all playing great!

I couldn’t agree more. Tim was sickening the other night, and keeping Bowen on Paul all game is a bad idea. Take Stojakovic out of the game early. Let Paul get his, but if he is going to get his, make him earn his buckets, Tony can at least do that. Game 1, was just an awful game. Hopefully in Game 2, the real Spurs will stand up.

that we will bounce back & beat that ass tonight! Go Spurs Go!

i was so goddamn pissed off. i was riding high on my hawks pick for game 6 and a few other bets I had made at the craps table. Overall I was up $500, and feeling great. Then I make the bet on the Spurs and the over. Surely if the Spurs didn’t win I’d cover the over (183.5).

But what the hell do you know. We score 2 points in the last 3 minutes or so, I wasn’t actually watching, I was at Supercross. The Spurs brought me badluck. I later on lost all of my winnings that night. Fucking Spurs, they better stop playing like a bunch of slack jawed yokels.

The Spurs are showing the weakness of age and small ball that I have been hacking at all season long. We were lucky to draw a team in the first round even more “F’d up then we are.

Look at Dallas and Boston. Old teams that had severe trouble with young athletic teams. The Celtics were a disgrace allowing one offensive rebound after another to the Hawks. Dallas defenders were being blown by on almost every other trip down the court both this season and last season against the Warriors.

Is there any player on the Spurs team that can dunk more than a foot away from the basket? Is there any player on on the Spurs roster who has a vertical leap of more than 3 inches? Pop’s obession with the AARP line up has doomed us. Rule #1…basketball is first and foremost a big man’s game. Small ball is a politicaly correct way of coming in way under the salary cap.

During the off season, I hope the Spurs pick up some youth and athletisicm. The past couple of drafts I have watched as Pop picks one stomach churning throw away rookie after another as younger players continue to slip through the Spurs scouting net.

Pop, you are going to have answer for what you have been doing this season. You didn’t think you could fool the Spurs fans this long did you? Pop, get in the car, don’t worry about where we are going, just get in the freaking car…. You have some explaining to do to the five familias.

Capiche?

As for Bill Simmons. Bill you are in violation of NBA pecking order ordinance 107.5B, which states, no team’s fans who are under may talk about a team that is over. You have zero championships. We have thumped you hard for the last decade. You don’t have the pedigree to talk sh#t about us. Stick to writing articles about teams that are more at your level, like the Mavericks, Jazz and Nuggets. Your out of your element douche bag and in way over your head. Us..four championships, you..monkey balls. So in summary, you are in violation of NBA pecking order ordinance 107.5B and you in danger of being fined and forfetting a couple games.
