But the biggest thing was the defense not being what is usually is. We could get away with not scoring +100 points a game if our team D was as good as it normally is. Oh well, we're gearing up for some big pickups anyways. Maybe only one or two small pieces during this off season, but in 2010 we'll have a good amount of cap space. The last 2 years have been down years (as in, no title). If our down years = 50+ wins...im sure theres a lot of teams wishing for down years like that lol.

LOL....the last two years were the end of the Spurs' years as being known as a threat..and quit making excuses, you're one of the main people who talks shit when people bring up injuries. Spurs reign as being contenders=over. It's back to the mid-90's for yall. 8)

the injuries WERE a problem this year, obviously. But its not an excuse cus I think the main problem was our defense. We've always been one of the top 2 or 3 defenses in the league, and could usually shut down opponents. So any lack of scoring wasnt an issue. This year, our defense hasnt been anywhere NEAR as good. And no, we arent done lol. No NBA "Expert" would make that claim. The Spurs organization is one of the most respected in sports, they can draw free agents on that. Like I said, our down year(s) are better then 90% of teams good years lol. You should focus on your team, cus wouldnt it suck to watch Kobe fail (AGAIN) to win a title as the leader of the Lakers lol. You guys have lost in your last 2 finals appearances...and it hasnt been pretty. Way to rep the Western Conference :grumpy:

no, muthafucka, the main problem is that yall are old and have an ancient core...it's time to destroy and rebuild. good luck taking 3 years to rebuild a contender ala the Lakers. :laugh:
it's better to lose in the Finals than to loser in the first round, but this topic is about the dying Spurs, not the rising Lakers. 8)

WTF are u talkin about? Out of our core players, only Manu's age is an issue. And its not really his age, its his health. He's just worn his body down too much over the years. Parker is in his prime, and Duncan still has a few good years left. The only other players that are old, are all role/ bench players. Bowen, Finley, Vaughn, etc. They come and go. We arent rebuilding lol. Rebuilding would typically cause you to see a huge hit to your record (ala Lakers post Shaq). How many teams are in rebuilding mode winning 50+ games? lol. And no, the Lakers arent rising. The Lakers are at the peak of where this current team CAN be. So its championship or bust. Hopefully Kobe doesnt fuck up another chance lol

rigggghttt...duncan just keeps getting younger, yea? the best player on your team currently is Tony Parker, and I'd say he's more of a second option on a championship than a franchise player. building around parker is guna be extremely tough, and building around an aging duncan is out of the question. i'm not saying you guys already started rebuilding, i'm saying that's what's cookin for your future...just dont say i didnt warn ya, homie...PeACe
PS...LMAO@"the Lakers aren't rising"...Bynum=21, Gasol=1st full year with team, Kobe=maturing his game with each season. 2nd youngest team in the league, genius. step it up...foreal.
