Some PtR users are finding this loss really tough. This game is the SEGABABA, away, against a really good Eastern conference team. It would have been really bad if it were the first game after a 4 day break against a team below .500. Enough with the "doomsday" talk! We played some pretty terrible defense and our offense was not on par. The positive? Parker played 24 minutes, Manu with 19 minutes, Tim with 19 minutes. Things aren't as bad as it seems. It's just basketball, and we can't win them all. But we certainly we shouldn't be jumping ship with four losses on the season 29 games into the season.

A note to PtR
I just found out that tonight’s recap is still up for grabs.
Is anyone interested?

We couldn’t defend for shit. The end.

I called him up and had a nice conversation over the phone. I explained to him that we don’t control the number of games the Spurs play, and he agreed that at least one recap per game is a good idea — and sometimes even more!

Nope – brain cells not working. Besides, haven’t I already done enough work the last two days?
With all due respect, gentlemen, we're not as crazy as she is.
Hey, did you receive an email from me asking you directly?
I didn’t think so! =]

Redick was 5/5 from downtown, yet his +/- was only +10

I like the fact that our team doesn’t push it when we’re up big and the game is in hand. NO for example. Didn’t appreciate them running up the score is all. Plus I hate losing. Especially over the Christmas period. Maybe I’ve got the blues, its hard being thousands of miles from home over Chrissy, no matter how old you are.

No worries; you won’t see another one for the rest of the year.

I missed almost the entire gamethread. Wanna provide a link to what happened?

My one and only post in the game thread was for the request you guys made.
In retrospect, making Tim Duncan the “badguy” is what should’ve been what tipped me off. Only Neal can get away with that.

I am cheering for the Suns now. Doesn’t happen very often after last playoffs.

I’m not. Go Heat. I wanna see James put up 50. He’s doing well so far.

Boo, hiss, spit!
Now I feel better;)
GSG for 78-4!!!!!
Honestly. You kids today, with your hippity-hop music and your Twiddle. - Lauri
Well Spurs teams of old tend to play better when Pop just yelled at them. There should be plenty of opportunity for that, and it’s good timing with a six game gauntlet coming up:
Lakers, At Dallas, OKC, At Knicks, At Boston, At Pacers.
I think the Pacers are a better team/harder matchup than the Knicks. Boston is the back to back and hardest of the bunch imo
Well, that sucked.

Missed a good deal of the game. Tiago’s line in the boxscore looks fairly good, but I did get to see him miss an ugly looking shot that seemed to be some type of sidearm hook that I think was referred to as a T-rex hook. I hope he has a more orthodox hook in his repertoire. Did he suffer a shoulder injury at some point that would account for his style?
after a spurs loss, I generally feel listless, without energy. playing pc games do nothing to fill the empty void in me. like an automaton, I do the dishes, clean the house and do the all the chores I normally avoid so I can stop thinking about the game.
why, why did this loss have to happen now? when holiday cheer should have been felt throughout the house?
argggghhhhhh
"White-orange, orange, white-green, blue, white-blue, green, white-brown, brown"
Splitter with another good game (I dont give a shit that we were down by alot)
11 pts 5 rebs 2 stls 1blk in only 17 minutes.
He also made 5 of 6 free throws.
[ "Duncan, the Spurs' 34-year-old captain, was aghast when Splitter told him he used to watch him as a kid."]
"I didn't enjoy that at all," Duncan said
lol, Timmy when asked about tonights loss…..
“It was bound to happen,” Duncan said.

The sky is falling! Fourth stop people, those who hopped on late may now exit the bandwagon. Old timers, fasten your seatbelts, another stop bound to come up.
Rest up. Regroup. Get a few ‘pounds’ in. Go after the next one.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Hey Josh! I went to BSotS to read the recap for their game against the Heat and noticed that they now have the roll call and tally sheet thing that you were doing. Is PtR the first one to do that among the SBNation NBA blogs?
