This was one of those games Curry would have been effective.

They could at least have the balls to score 80 points.
I'll never trust this' team again.

Damn, this game also exposed my 'over optimism'.

Everyone's don't worry. Remember it was the media saying the Knicks had to take advantage of their "lucky breaks" because the Spurs had no Parker and Manu. Like the Knicks are freaking contenders. Give me a break, we are a team in transition. We fans suffer this because we are dying to have a winner here, but games like this help us remember this is Year One and things can either be perfect or completely suck. Today we had the last one.

We can't forget its the Spurs, they miss many great players but they win because of their system. Their defense has won championships and today they just stepped it up and didn't let us establish our game. This issue will come up in a couple of years, when we will hopefully have a stronger team and wonder if D'Antoni's system can defeat defensive oriented teams. I hope we get to that point.

Meanwhile, get ready for more games like this. We just aren't a good team, gotta admit it. I'll enjoy any win they can give us, but this kind of games help us remember we still suck...

The one great thing about this game is that REALLY shows our flaws.

1. Lack of a penetrating PG
2. Lack of Shotblocking presence
3. Lack of a really good shooter
4. Lack of a player a with some cahones

Now we obviously have known this stuff for a while but I think it's great that D'Antoni and Walsh can see it first hand.

I would say yes but the constant is that this is like another D'Antoni and Pop matchup.

No doubt, I agree 100% D'Antoni CAN NOT beat the Spurs. He just can't do it.

I still think we can take something out of this game like I said in my previous post. The Spurs are a good barometer just because of the way they play game in and game out.

I think D'Antoni was right to try to keep the expecations lowered for this team. We played pretty well and got some nice breaks to get that 4-2 record, but make no mistake, this team is still very much flawed. There are going to be nights like this throughout the season just like there will be games when we play very well and impress.

Everybody here knows that, but when you have sucked for so much, you can't help but feel optimistic about a nice start. They could come back to win this game and it would make me a happy fan. But not blind, this is a work in process!

I've been happy as anyone that we started off 4-2. However, I think we're setting ourselves for disappointment if we start to think that out of nowhere, this same group of guys has become a playoff team (which a lot of fans were proclaiming after the 4-2 start foolishly).

Well, I did make the prediction that we'd be 7-8 after the first 15 games, so I shouldn't be too upset.
I'll never trust this' team again.

Damn, I knew this was a trap.

If anything, this shows how good a coach Pop is. He exploited our weaknesses.

We lack too many things. Im glad they try to play and learn the system, but we are so far from a finished product.

This game does expose our lack of defense too, because with better shooters, the Spurs would be leading by 20+ and blowing us like Philly did. We had no low post scorer to keep us at bay when Craw was missing lots of shots. We also were too careless with the ball, that killed us and gave them way too many more possessions.

It's good that they did. We need to know anyway. Thank goodness that not every team is like S.A. Otherwise we'd be heading for another 23 wins season. Oh well, our guys put up a fight.

Saw too many games where the Spurs beat the Suns without Duncan.
