Such an odd game lol.
T-Mac with 20 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists.
Prince with 20 points and 6 assists.
Daye with 20 and 7 rebounds.
And both Stuckey and Gordon got 16 a piece.

A good win though<3 Daye and T-Mac <3

Finally about to snap 6 game losing streak.

 

[Mexi]

Hold on whoa, Mexi said WHAT?! Okay, if we all didn't know it already then this is it, Mexi has officially lost it.

i said blake is the best player i've ever seen this past month, or really the past 2 months

im obviously living in the moment, but i stand by it dammit
i dont care if kobe scored 62 in 3 quarters and 81 in back to back months, had like 9 straight 40 point games, etc

 

[cruzg24]

Finally we end this losing streak. It felt like it was never going to end.

 

[elcheato]

not gonna lie, have absolutely no clue who that is

Best player in the Nation. His game is comparable to Kevin Love, except Sullinger is a superior post player.

That's it. I demand you change your favorite NBA team from "B2B Champs" to the "NBA Bottomfeeders" aka the Clippers.

i want league pass just to watch my man blake.


i can happily say that ive been on his nuts since high school so im not in the dick riding category that most people are in.

 

[Lake Louise]

Pistons beating Orlando. I missed it, but heck yes it's a win! On our way with another win streak!

 

[Brutalis]

Spurs need to close out the Warriors tonight. This is the 2nd of 3 road games, then home against the Rockets, then the rodeo road trip consisting of 9 road games.

 

[Brutalis]

Hornets continued the win streak tonight. Now it's at 9.

I hope you're not talking about me >.<
lol

i will say, you said he was a more athletic KG. i didnt believe it, but offensively it's true
once he gets his jumper polished and if he works a little more on his defense, clippers are in great shape

lakers are old as hell. the gap is slowly closing. lakers are still the lakers, dont twist my words, im just saying i could totally see things changing in the not so distant future

one guy is changing the life long losing culture of the clippers. it's truly remarkable. it's why im always going nuts about him. just havent seen a player like this. best i've ever seen dammit

 

[Brutalis]

Spurs win. 38-7, yay.

 

[Mexi]

David West is a really really good player and needs more love sometimes

one day he'll win a title in the Kurt Thomas/McDyess/PJ Brown role and i'll be happy for him

 

[Lake Louise]

Spurs win. 38-7, yay.

Timmy Duncan is a beast. Just saw the highlights, and either the medical staff is really good, he is just a beast, or a little bit of both. I just know not every person would be able to come back, in that same game, from that.

Spurs are beasting though. Playing like the 91-92 Bulls, Record wise anyways.

i wasnt aiming that at you. if i remember correctly on SI only you, young, and myself knew how good blake could be. i can see blake working hard on his shot this off-season. hes young and you can tell he wants to prove all the doubters wrong and wants to improve. i dont see how he wont want to expand his offense. kid is a stud and will be for years.

dude makes my jaw drop every night they play.


but you did doubt him after his injury

old but still funny

Hahah, I miss Amir.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Mavs play the messiah tonight

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Well I disagree.

I agree they were out-played, but that's sort of an obvious thing.

Having an off-night is not a scapegoat or an excuse. It's a real thing that happens pretty often to sports teams. My point is that if the Spurs were playing .500 ball and they got beat for the 10th or more time by 20 then yeah I can see how someone could think along the lines that you do. But that's not the case as it is for a lot of other NBA teams that you could tag your reasonings to.

However. That was their 2nd loss this season out of 7 of them that was by 20+. The other came in Orlando 12-23-10 with a score 101-123 that ironically came on a back to back game also as the previous night they defeated Denver by 6 in SA. The other 5 losses were all by less than 10 points. So actually they do deserve the right to have a bad game when they have has so few all year long. SA would be 38-6 if it weren't for the terrible no call to end the game @ Boston last month. Ginobili got molested, but this is beside the point.

When you lose so few games, and in the sort of fashion I don't believe you can say what you are saying to sum it up. If they have lost like that all year long then sure.

And to answer the question that started your post:

1- Nobody can unless they just feel like being haters. Sorry I assumed you to be. My mistake. But the Spurs are the 3rd most successful franchise in NBA history based on winning percentage. Boston and LAL have them beat, but also have been in the league 20 years longer than the Spurs as they entered the early 70s with the ABA-NBA merger. So that's pretty bad ass. Not to mention they were the most successful franchise of the decade from 2001-2010 in all of professional sports in North America.

That's a interesting way to look at it, but I disagree lol. I think using the term off night is a way to say "yeah we sucked, but I'll just say we had a off night so I can avoid giving the other team credit." Then of course, there is just the fact that I've always hated the term off night. I've gotten into arguments with Hornets fans about that term, I just hate it.

BTW, how's Timmy?
