    It's ironic that Popovich for the entire game managed the refs so that they don't "see" any Spurs fouls on our players, it's only fitting that they lost the game partly because of it.

    Just realized he was referring to our 7-game losing streak against the Spurs in San Antonio. He definitely could have been more clear, but I'll retract my rant. LOL.

    I was having a day out in the country town but I kept updated with the scores. Initially I was disappointed when I saw a 20 point lead in the 2nd quarter got eroded so badly that the Spurs took the lead into the 4th. I thought on **** not again! A big lead and then losing it in the 4th for like how many times already!

    Then the fight back in the final few minutes...I was so proud that we could finally do it and did it on one of the best teams in the NBA!

    That Howard rebound from the missed Parsons shot into Harden's hands for a 3 to tie the game and that Beverley tip in from TIM DUNCAN! WOW!

    I actually love Harden and its great we are having him, if anything we would hav never attracted Howard were it not for the Beard.... however I was just helping a member of our forum to put things in a proper perspective and refrain from knee-jerking logic....

    It's knee-jerk to say he took over the game tonight and that we aren't better without him, as many suggested?

    we are better off with the Beard ...much much better-IN GENERAL...

    what was knee-jerk reaction i was pointing to is to draw that conclusion from just this one game...

    btw 8 out of 10 times we would lose this kind of game
    btw2 theres no way hes getting all these calls come playoffs time....

    Dragic's number is inflated because he stayed on court no matter what. Last year I saw at least 3 times he played during garbage time when his team / opponent's getting blown out. I don't even watch a lot of Suns' games.

    Other teams are just jealous of our talent.
    Detractors mainly don't like watching our style of play...

    Harden's ISOs, drives jumping into people looking for contact, flopping... etc.
    But they forget he is one of the most efficient players in the league.

    Howard's free throws and ugly post moves, constant complaining, pre-game dance moves and general stupidity.
    But they forget he is one of the most dominant centers in the game today.

    I would just take it as a sign of respect that we are the most hated team in the league.

    Lin aint going anywhere ... we need his penetration and playmaking.

    I like the team as built.

    Just wish Dmo will have more burn time, and Asik will remain happy in his new role.

    Beverley +11
    Parker -1

    How stupid are +/- stats? Why do they even list them for anything short of a season?

    Rep for you. This should be an eye opener for the overly statistically minded people on the board.

    "Overly statistically minded people" don't rely on unadjusted +/- to make judgments about players because they know it's a very flawed stat. Seems like it's only people who don't know much about stats who leap to conclusions based on +/-
