2008-09 San Antonio Spurs Thread | Page 10

Ah yes, another odd year. Don't worry, in time, this thread will be renamed the "**OFFICIAL** SAN ANTONIO SPURS THREAD" Well, Duncan held the team together while Parker and Ginobli were out and now they are back and scoring 110+ points. Aside from the Duncan and Ginobli, they are fairly young and you gotta love the rookie, George Hill. At 6'2" solid guard with very long arms who is playing very solid defense: Another nice pick by the Spurs. However, it really isn't the odd year motivation that has gotten the Spurs the championships. The reason why they have won Championships in odd years is because those are the years when they have had an above average Center who can consistently hit the 5-10 footer and play solid defense. Unfortunately, they don't really have that this year and that is one key reason why it probably won't go there way. However, you never know what could happen because you don't count a defensive team out. I will be back from time to time. [ Edited by Joecool on Dec 15, 2008 at 09:13:32 ]

Damn, man. So it was another quarter long drought. That was a huge problem for the Spurs during last year's playoffs. They always had that one quarter every game they lost where they would brick everything.

Pop needs to address this. It's not like they don't have sharp shooters on the bench. It's weird, they ALL go cold.

Yeah, you got a point, well in all honesty, HOW DO YOU address something like that...

"Guys, stop synchronizing yourselves to all go cold during one quarter...its f**king us in the ass..."

Like what can you do about that yah know?

Spurs fell asleep in the 3rd quarter and lost.

Really? Maybe if the Lakers were a tranquilizer gun.

The Lakers have a better starting 5, a better bench, and better coaching. That's what happened

Except for when the Spurs won the last time. That was because of luck, right?

Yeah, because I use luck to defend all Laker losses . Any team is capable of winning any night regardless of luck. The Spurs legitimately beat the Lakers at home in a nail biter. The Lakers were short-handed though, and today at full health, they dismembered the Spurs. There was no falling asleep, the Lakers are a better team with distinct advantages. In a seven game series I say Lakers win 4, Spurs win 2.

Spurs would be very fortunate to win two, IMO.

I've seen you post that one in a few different team threads, this year. You have yet to be wrong when posting it.

After living in AZ a few years, I can honestly say I never get tired of seeing the Spurs stick it to them. I've won countless dollars because of this.

Hahaha. Parker/Duncan pick & roll vs. Nash/Shaq pick and roll defense is easy money.

Shaq is the Suns weakest link. I didn't even see Barbosa in the second half until the 4th quarter. Amare gets a high flying dunk maybe once a quarter.

Shaq needs to put his ego away and stuff his selfish brain with some more straw, not worry about offense at all and try to get as many blocks and rebounds as he can. This is the ONLY way I can see the Suns play well with Shaq.

Shaq has no interior defense anymore because he's lazy.

The Spurs are to The Suns as the Lakers were to the Kings.

Cheap b*****d won't even spring for a bit of Rogaine? Is he funding the entire country of Argentina with the money he's making?
