whether we win or lose in this one, the game against Memphis will even be uglier. Especially if Pop doesn’t rest the starters.

Arenas just makes every team he’s on suck. Hope the Lakers do sign him. Would be a terrible influence in the locker room…

They’re playing with more energy. Spurs missed a lot of open/makeable shots in the 1st, and in the 2nd, there’s no flow in the offense.

If by well you mean he threw the ball into dirks head regathered and went to the bucket while everyone wondered wtf happened…then yeah

During the last 2 mins, he was the only Spur fighting for the boards. He made a steal, leading to an RJ fastbreak layup.

Down 15 or 13 or whatever, struggling like hell on offense, you would think we would be pressing hard on D especially while going through the offensive slump.
Nope, that was the Spurs of old, now we just stand or walk around and give them whatever shot they want.
In fact we are lucky to be not be down 20 the way we’re playing.
Hoping they’re going to miss, as our defensive strategy, not going to cut it.
Since we never come back from being down double digits in games any more, I say rest everyone as punishment, and let the deep bench get some practice, to get something positive out of this loss.
Feeling a little negative, sure. Was excited to finally get to see a game on TV, and hopefully get a much needed road win. This first half was just disgusting.
