    Awaiting the forum meltdown. After we lost to a 19-3 team on the road.

    You mean after we got embarrassed by a 19-3 team on the road. 78 points???? Wow.

    There should be no meltdowns though because this should be expected


    Welcome to our offense against a good defensive team.

    How many times did we play dribble out the clock and take a bad shot game today? It was pathetic. Roy taking contested jumpers with less than 3 second on the shot clock is not a winning brand of basketball.

    No shame in losing to SA today. They're playing great ball and we're still finding our way. It was a typical Spurs performance--they just kept pushing and pushing and pushing and pressing and pressing and pressing until they pulled away bit by bit. It was a tortoise-like performance we've seen from this team for the past decade.

    It really was a pathetic game to watch. Neither the Blazers or the refs woke up in time. These 12:30 games for teams traveling from the west are ridiculous. I do not think SA is that good. Duncan looks ancient. They will fade i bet. But the I thought the blazers showed no energy and missed a lot of easy shots. The nba should be embarrassed by the officiating today. But they don't give a fuck.

    What the fuck is with all the officiating bashing today? I watched the entire game and didn't think it was nearly as bad as anyone has said so far.


    As for Duncan, I agree. Luckily for SA, they have a coach that realizes that as well, and has changed the offense up a bit.

    if you mean they jumped out to a 9 point lead after the first and we spent the whole game trying to play catch up than i guess you are right. just another brutal game to watch out of our offense. no flow, no movement, same old same old.

    Bingo. It isn't like the Blazers played well on offense, and the Spurs just shut them down with superior defense. The offense was just stagnant.

    I don't think anyone is surprised when this happens anymore.
