Official Spurs 2007-08 Season Thread

[hudsonhorn]

A great win over the Mavs! Looked like the playoffs. Go Spurs!

 

[j.e.s.-U.S.]

Ever since I switched my sig up, the spurs have been on a roll...

I love terry's quote when he says "This game doesn't mean much" ... that's an outright lie and he knows it deep inside. They wanted to beat the Spurs badly and failed.

GO SPURS GO!

Looking at the Spurs bench (thru Mavs blue and green eyes) it's hard to imagine that Stoudamire and Thomas will be big contributors. Finley and Big Shot Bob, yes. Vaughn? maybe.

Just seems like the Spurs starters are going to have to be the heavy lifters.

Hook'em!!!

It was one game in 82. Obviously each team wanted to win...but not as important as a playoff game.

Hook'em!!!

SA is the winner this year. The SA LA series will be a lot of fun as will the Finals.

 

[Aragorn]

The Spurs win a hard-fought game against the Nuggets. Denver has a good team and they always play us well. I hope we don't get them in the first round. I would rather play the Warriors.

I didn't see the game last night...I'm glad. But, can someone who did give a little breakdown of the game? Did they look fatigued?

 

[Mitch Cumsteen]

Four losses in a row, including blowing a 20 point lead last night to the C's. The longest losing streak in over 7 years. This team looks really, really old.

I'm not saying that it was why the Spurs lost but those officials were terrible. I hope they aren't used in the playoffs at all.

 

[Lat22]

They better get their **** together or there won't be any playoffs. It pains me to say it, but the Spurs are playing like the old team that they are.

 

[Aragorn]

I'm definitely more concerned that I've been at any time during the past 3-4 seasons, but the Spurs have been losing close games to good teams, mostly on the road. It's bad, but it's not as bad as it seems.

 

[Mitch Cumsteen]

One note: they still aren't playing their stars heavy minutes, even in what appeared to be a big game. Last night, Duncan played 34, Parker 37, and Ginobili 32. KG played 39 and Pierce played 44.

While the fans seem to be freaking out, I don't think Popovich is. As long as they make the playoffs, which amazingly isn't a given in this insane conference, I don't think anybody would want to play them. You've got to respect Pop for sticking to his guns. He's not going to burn his players out especially when seeding is so insignificant this year -- it doesn't matter where you end up, you are going to have to play somebody really, really good in the first round.

 

[j.e.s.-U.S.]

Let's get a winning streak going tonight!

 

[Pitter09]

6 in a row. Even with New Orleans for top seed. First to 50 wins in the West...

Tough stretch of games coming up. Next 5 games:

Houston (Sunday)
Golden St
@Utah
@Portland
Phoenix

Interesting stat of the day:

The Spurs have spent the most days this season in the number 1 seed of the Western Conf (from Mark Stein espn.com):

Spurs...............50 days
New Orleans...25
Phoenix............25
Lakers.............16
Houston............2
Clippers?..........2

 

[EllCee]

Looks like 5-0 to me.

 

[SubliminalHorn]

And just like that, the Spurs are movin' on up.

The Houston game will tell a lot, I believe.

Just finish up the season on a run with everyone healthy.

Go Spurs Go

 

[Statalyzer]

Great win over Houston.
