    I know we said this last year, but we did look good against Spurs this season.

    bad defense.

    gave up offensive rebounds all fucking night again.

    there clock operators gave them a freebie 2 points.

    that about covers it.

    It literally was because of a hot shooting night. We were still in the game when Rubio hit that 3. He doesn't hit that we have a damn good chance of winning as we then don't have to foul (where they went from 104 to 123 pretty much).

    They had a lucky shooting night. Rubio three? Neal making 8 of his first 10 shots? It just wasn't meant to be. Doesn't matter. We won't play them in playoffs. We have won 5 of our last 6 against Western Playoff teams (provided OKC makes the playoffs). Sucks to lose but if we win on Wednesday, who cares?

    The good news is we don't have to face the Timberwolves in the playoffs.

    I can forgive a stinker still integrating afflalo into the starting unit. But I really wanted our guys to come out inspired and take one home for wes. Im still an emotional wreck, why couldn't god take my Achilles instead? Id gladly collect workers comp while wes won a title.

    The other reason they scored 121 is because we intentionally put them on the line like 12-14 (?) times in the final minute. If we throw in the towel, they only score 107

    the spurs are dependant on how parker plays. If Parker is back to his oldself, I don't want them. Manu isn't much of a threat either more, though, he can still hit the jumper and create some offense. If the Spurs rely on just Leonard and Timmy D with no help from Parker, Manu, etc than maybe I'd be ok with them.

    Afflalo needs more time to acclimate.

    He's so goddammed underwhelming so far.

    What the hell more do you want from him? He was keeping us in the game with his D and his shot. He's doing just fine. Not his fault he got called for so many ticky tack fouls.

    Nobody played defense.

    True. A good home game should set us straight. I still believe.

    And we didn't win the 2 games directly after it was announced that LaMarcus was getting surgery and would miss 6-8 weeks. We lost to the Celtics at home.

    Even if he is underwheling ( which he isn't'), it isn't like we gave up much for him in the first place. So I don't get the gripe either.

    Because our team's dont switch, it must just automatically be that every time an SG scores, it's on an SG. Right. :crazy:
