The Dishes Are Done Man

Yeah, that's what this season has come to.  I'm stealing lines from "Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's dead".


On a night like tonight, it's all I've got.  In order to undermine whatever credibility I might have had, I'll tell this bit from tonight.  With a minute left in the third quarter, Goran Dragic hit a 3-pointer for his first points of the game to cut the Spurs lead to 3.  I said out loud, "Wow.  Big shot.  I didn't think he had it in him."  

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!

Star-divide

The Slovenian Sleep Floyd

Whoever bet on Goran Dragic coming up with 23 points in the fourth quarter made a killing in Vegas.  The man bedazzled.  I've never seen anything like it.  He hit that shot in the third, then just went insane in the fourth.  He scored on George.  He scored on Tony.  He scored on Tim.  He scored on DeJuan.  He scored on my mother.  He scored on my father -- RIP.  He scored on, well, all 18,000 people in the arena.  The guy was magical.  I can't really say any more than that.

Let the record show that Goran Dragic put a stake in the heart of the Suns doppelganger.

More Of The Same

Tonight was just more of the same of everything we saw all year.  Inconsistent execution.  Inability to protect a lead.  Not enough people playing well.  Craptastic free throw shooting.  A bunch of guys who looked like they weren't quite healthy enough to be explosive.

Our offense has relied more on ball movement than the ability of our guys to beat their man.  Generally, this is a good thing.  But, you still need people that can blow by their guys.  We didn't have that.  We got very few easy points. 

Yes, I Think We Are Done

No, I don't think we'll be the first team to come back from an 0-3 deficit.  Why?  Because Tony is hurt.  He had x-rays tonight on his right arm and looked like he was in pain.  I'm not sure when he hurt himself or what he did, but you could tell in the last minute of the game that he didn't have anything.  Even if he isn't injured bad enough to keep him out of the game, he won't be healthy enough to dominate.  And right now, we'd need some guys to dominate.

pride meant something…before you collapse in the fourth quarter to a second round draft pick. that you originally drafted. we’ll probably win game four, not because of pride, but because the suns won’t come out to play, knowing they’ve got this in the bag.

Pop will play the youngsters a lot, just as he played Hill after all hope was lost against Dallas last year.

We drafted Dragic on Phoenix’s behalf. It was a draft day deal, they told us who to pick and vice versa. Phoenix was the only team to work him out pre-draft, they had him as the #2 point guard in the whole draft after Derrick Rose. He was their guy all the way.

The game is over and I still don’t understand how nobody cared to give Dragic a hard foul when he got so hot in the 4th. Now talking heads on TV seriously discuss how to stop Dragic. Don’t they understand that he will never ever have a quarter like that?

On another subject, I have a few hopes left, and my biggest hope is that with Tony out we’ll see the return of SuperManu and Manu’s Team on Sunday. I know, I am desperate, but what else can I hope for? We played our best ball of the season with Tony out, and may be, just may be, we can play it again without him. I hope that The Great Championship Spurs Dynasty still have one last great stand in them, and Sunday would be the best time to bring it. If not … well, we can talk about it later.

No. I don’t hate Tony at all. I think, he played good in the playoffs. Not great, but good. Much better than that fucking rookie Hill. And Tony was very professional and very Spurrish about coming from the bench. I love Tony. I am just trying to find a silver lining in his injury. I am trying to find some ray of hope for this series, for these playoffs, for this season. So with our backs to the wall and Tony out, may be we could find that spark we had in March that allowed us to beat some very good teams. May be we can still have a hope.

You compare 20 points in a losing effort during the regular season with turning around a crucial 2nd round playoff game on the opponent’s court.

Very well done, calm writeup on tonight disastrous collapse.

 I’m not emotionally in a good mood to write anything but I feel like I have to. I had to drive 8 hours today before I watched the game with a couple friends who don’t know the game but kindly recorded it for me.

And the misery commenced. They jokingly got on my case when I got upset early (when we were up 10+) over mistakes like freethrows and RJ.

Later I tried to explain…“This is why those mistakes earlier matter so much even when you’re winning.”

Hopeless.

This loss feels like the worst game I’ve ever seen.

Somehow worse than All Time Worst ‘06 Game 7 Manu-fail home OT Loss that cost us the championship -and what would have become a 3peat. (It hurts to even write ’peat’ right now because it reminds me of peanut, reminds me of 14 million dollars for missing dunks, traveling, and throwing the ball championship away.)

At least that terrifying game I rewatched repeatedly, pointing out all the bad calls, because it was a great game, hard fought by both teams.

This game was like the gods were against us. You know its bad when you start expecting every insane Suns shot to go in. When I called it perfectly a few seconds before we fouled Dragic on that crazy made 3 to give them the 4pt play and the game. When we play good D and finally force them to miss in the 4th after what, 10 straight made shots by them, only to have the rebound somehow end up in their hands. When Manu makes one of his beautiful ‘ugly’ long 2-step perfect layups, only to be called for traveling but later Dragic passes to himself after we turn it over and there’s no call, just like Barbara’s same in the last game.

But no, like our esteemed leader here says, this game was just like our season. I keep refusing to admit that we are so bad as to play well only 1 or 2 quarters per game. Just a matter of time before we gel and execute well for 48mins right?

No. This game proved that wrong once and for all. We really are this bad. We really do deserve to be oj the brink now, vs the Suns of all teams.

These Suns, who for the joke of a team they’ve been since Barkeley despite Nash’s brilliace, are starting to earn some respect. By stepping up, playing D, playing hard all game, not giving up when down double digits on the other teams court, scrapping through, making big shots, and taking the win. Playing a lot like our beloved Spurs of old.

Yep, they deserve this, we don’t. Congratulations Los Suns.

I agree. The playoff series past I didn’t like them because D’Antoni’s offensive philosophy of “RUNNNN!!!” was the only thing they did. Now they’re rebounding, contesting shots, developing a bench, playing perimeter defense. By golly, I remember when the Spurs used to win games doing that.

the game started 9 am in my place.yeah around 10:45 or 11 it was half time, i was sleepy and damn it i woke up 12…2 minutes left in the 3rd q.89 spurs 100 suns and guess what by that time frye hit a three spurs 89 suns 103—-i was shock.damn i knew something might happen bad,when tony went down on that channing foul in the 2nd q,it was obvious that for a 76% ft shooter missing 4 and be 0-4 in the line is unacceptable.and by the time phoenix was back on the game before half time i already sensed something bad.damn it even my intuitions are saying suns to win this game—-that was my mind but of course my heart says spurs.damn it damn it. i though again we had “it”.again i was watching the game with 2 mins left.and guess what,the commentators,jon barry,i think it was him said,(not exact lines,but it went like this)
“goran dragic scoring 23 in the fourth”.and by that time i stopped watching pissed off.i had curses in my mind.but i can’t do anything,the thing is,this is not a best of 9 series—-and there’s no best of 9 series in basketball,or in any other sports.so i stopped watching,had curses in my head,wanted to punch something,but i can’t do anything and you know what, i accepted that fact that 99.9% we’re done,and .1% is not a big number,but it means you got a chance,but only insane people think that.so i accepted the fact.and i started thinking,“hey we’re done,history is not in our side,can’t punch something,instead why not think about the off season,at least we kicked dallas’ ass. and hey why not think and wish that spurs fo’s would make great off season moves and have you wish list,hope i won’t count the days again like last year and have high expectations.that was the thing,i had some expectations for this team,and yet they crushed it,maybe if we get,for example lebron james,i shouldn’t expect anything,if they trade rj,or still have him or have bon or mase or let them go,don’t expect anything,better yet i should expect san antonio like my other fave teams,hmmm like what expect from chicago and memphis and atlanta,and have higher expectations for orlando and still have hopes for thunder.”.truly i was pissed off—-i shouldn’t have been expecting something from this team.again 0.1% is not a big number,but its a number,you still have chances,but its not a big number and second history is not in our side.
damn it
fuck it
i hate san antonio
but i still love them
i just want that hopefully,hopefully,cleveland won’t win a ring this year,rather let it be orlando or phoenix,and i don’t care even if its l.a.
we’re done—-for this season.
man!
and p.s.—-the game was replayed around 3 and i can’t stand watching it bcuz i know the full story—-goran doing some scola-esque to us.
and no matter how well we shoot and how well we defend them for such a low percentage,its obvious,we are inconsistent and can’t keep a lead.
in short
RQC’s again
is the spurs the team that blowed out most leads?
i think its boston in the reg season—-but it has to be san antonio.

No thanks, the minute I saw Tony land on his shoulder seemingly from a height of 50 feet, I knew we were probably in trouble.

Beside, I captured the whole tragedy on DVR.

Well its on Hill now to match the second string point guard game of an eternity. If Dragic can do 23 in 15 minutes, Hill should have no problem pulling a 40 points game out of his ass in 48 minutes.

He hasn’t been through the wars like Tony and Manu.

He looked like a deer in headlights in that 4th quarter.

Once again the Spurs were done in by the un-supporting cast.

Jefferson had wide open shots, missed practically all of them.

Hill also missed wide open shots.

Even Dice started clanking them in the second half.

can I ask? Well if we sign tiago the full mle,then instead of signing bonner we sign ty thomas and instead of mason we sign raja then we resign bogans,then sign morrow to a 3 or 4 mil deal,is it possible to achieve such deals?and hopefully dice won’t retire this season.But i guess signing new guys would give us the same problem this year—-chemistry,we can’t glue that fast unlike other teams

This team needs another shooter, sort of like Mason was before he went Awol.

Tony needs to come back with a three point shot.

Trade Jefferson.

I think that’s a good start.

At this point, I’m fine with trading RJ for a small forward without much offensive game, as long as it’s one that can be a menace on D, and hit the occasional jump shot.

by Tim C. on May 8, 2010 12:27 PM CDT up reply actions  

A team would have to be a fastbreak sort of offense to be willing to trade for Jefferson. Then his salary might scare teams away. I’d like it to happen. I just don’t see who’d be willing to swap for him.

Asked before the game how Parker has looked, Popovich said, "He’s still cute. "

by 0signal on May 8, 2010 1:08 PM CDT up reply actions  

his salary is expiring next year. Thats a big plus heading into a lockout.

by SpursfanSteve on May 8, 2010 1:10 PM CDT up reply actions  

Actually, it has no (or less) value heading into a lockout because nobody gets paid. There’s no reason to dump salary, which is what trading for an expiring contract is, when you won’t have to pay the salary you are dumping.

Respect for the Suns. Manu played his part and best game, but even Manu could not overcome the challenge himself.

by Spurrred on May 8, 2010 3:51 AM CDT reply actions  

Manu needed to be more selfish, save for turning it over. I though he was about to absolutely take over in the 4th. I’m taking total God Mode. Alas, Dragic seemed to enter that territory.

by ramirezm315 on May 8, 2010 3:54 AM CDT reply actions  

I have been very impressed by the Suns’ play during this serie. They always have guys stepping up. And most of all they play as a team.

the suns have been waiting for this for a long time. looks they are finally going to get it. props to them. they have outplayed the spurs in every game one way or another. maybe old stevie kerr knew what he was doing after all.

from the spurs perspective, its not like they have played terribly. they have just not been able to put together the kind of complete game you need this time of year. it seems that they left all of their complete games in the last series. perhaps they shot their wad against dallas.

in the past, our spurs have looked like the most interesting man in the world guy from those dos equis commercials. old, but they have some game. right now, they look like just another old silver hair at a pick-up joint trying to apply his skills with the young ladies. sadly, the suns are looking like the young male model studs with expensive clothes and a fancy car. turdly? yes, but the ladies are digging it right now.

Regardless if the season ends on Sunday..It was terrific watching Manu healthy and playing awesome. It was something of a comforting feeling watching him go against the Suns in the fourth quarter, even though we were down.. I remember thinking that he would never give up….

A request from a Suns fan

I don’t dislike your fans…your passion is something often lacking in most arenas of sport,
and I appreciate that level of commitment.

And you didn’t show open hostility…another mark of character.

Can we agree that, assuming the Suns win, and the Lakers win, PTR will cheer for the Suns over the Faker Empire, OUR COMMON FOE?

During the last two games I have had to turn it off at half time with the Spurs up thinking Hell Yea, we got a chance.

So blame it on me, I should have stayed up no matter what time I had to get up the next day. I will watch the next game thru the final second no matter how painful it might become. No matter that my personal life is hell right now, I will take one for the team. Because….

As long as Manu doesn’t give up, I’m not going to either. I say he finds his shot, the nose is healed and Tony’s arm will be fine by tomorrow. Screw this shite, I am not giving up. Hell even Bonner was hitting 3’s. We may go down, but we will go down fighting.

Come on folks, won’t it look great in the record books? Spurs, first team to ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to kick a** in the Finals!!!!!! It’s all in POP’S PLAN. Pissed him off that the media was so against us in the 1st Round, so he wants to thumb his nose at them now. We all know how he can get. Gives him a chance to chew up and spit out any one of them that has the nerve to ask any question.
