new look Spurs

[Dirty Dan]

Keep believing, Spurs fans. It's now best out of 3 with 2 at home. I like our chances. Go Spurs!

if tony does not start penetrating and playing defense, spurs are in deep trouble...

[Likinikki]

They're in about as much trouble as a team can be...going back to OKC, down 2 to 3...not a good place to be! I still have faith in our Black & Silver!!

[Keyzer Soze]

Big hill to climb, rather moutain. Piss poor free throws and turnovers are killing the Spurs. Team has reverted to depending on the big three, need the bench to get back into the game. Need to regroup and not wave the white flag.

Wish my 1000th post were more upbeat, but reality is what it is.

[hittinit]

Disappointing no doubt. Hard to believe the Thunder figured us out in 2 games and we have yet to counter-act.

[Harleyhoot]

There is much to talk about with there dismal play the last 3 games. Believe me I want them to win but after the dust settles on this season they need to do some looking at the age of there starters we have had this problem much to long our bench is deep which is good. But they are not starters so lets get some new young talent sit some of the old and worn and win us a championship. GO SPURS GO

[Likinikki]

I get tired of hearing about the young guns that win all the games. FYI...we swept both Utah and Clippers! Clippers: Billups, Griffin, Paul...young and great players. Utah, the same thing...Raja Bell and Jamal Tinsley (35 & 34yrs old) are the oldest players on their roster.

We have just as much or more talent than OKC, Miami, or Boston. Comes down to the basics...no team...I don't care who you are...can win with that many turnovers, bad decisions on offense, and allowing their defense to shut us down!

We've proven we can beat OKC...at home or away. Pop needs to get them NASTY again...and they have to get their mojo back...make better choices on shots and shutdown their defense! If we can do that...we WILL WIN!! GO SPURS!!!

Gary Neal not being on the team plane today might not be such a bad thing.....

[k1ngofny]

It starts with parker. It is basic x's and o's. If parker can penetrate it will spread the defense and give the spurs room to operate. ginobli can score 60, which he won't and it wont matter. offensively it begins and ends with parker. He has to play smarter. for OKC, their role players are the difference. okc bench is outplaying spurs bench. I think its over for the spurs...

[Likinikki]

OMGoodness, k1ngofny...don't make me whip the living pup out of you!! (lol)

[k1ngofny]

Nikki, know this. I am not a spurs fan but i do want to see duncan win one more. This most likely is his last hurrah so this one time i am rooting for the spurs. I just dont see it happening.

[shooter1a]

Pop called for it Spurs, Lets get NASTY.
Kevin Durant doesn't need two working knees.

[greenhorn1960]

I'll still root and pull for them. But it does start with Tony penetrating to the paint, and swinging the ball to the open man if he cannot make the shot. Once the Spurs start raining long twos or threes, the inside game will open up.

GO PURS GO

[Dirty Dan]

We all need to have likinikki's attitude. True fans don't give up on their team. I expect this team to come out and fight to the death. As Pop would say, they need to "compete". If the OKC role players keep hitting seemingly every jump shot and Durante/Harden hit contested 3's in crunch time, all you can do is shake their hand and wish them the best in the Finals.

This team will not give up. Manu and SJax won't allow it.

BELIEVE

I agree that true fans never give up on their team. While I am not a Spurs fan I will say that I think OKC is just faster and more athletic than the Spurs. All they have to go is what Boston did last night and make it a hald court game. OKC is not as smart as the Spurs are. Spurs have Championship mojo. They can do it but they need a close game late in the 4th like Boston last night.

OKC reminds me so so much of the Portland Trail Blazers of the early 90's. Athletic and fast but not much upstairs. Just get them in a half court game where they have to think. And make sure Derrick Fisher does not touch the ball.
