    Mother's day blues for Timmy? I remember some story about an opposing player saying 'Happy Mother's Day, mother f-er' to Tim Duncan.

    Bingo. Plus, Pop waved the white flag early. The spurs could have easily mounted a comeback, they were within 11 with a 1:20 left. They could have easily played the foul game and brought their team back. Pop was thinking about the long play, not the short one. LA played a lot, Lillard played a lot, the Spurs trio barely played 25 minutes a piece.

    That's the thing that stings the most. That push off by LA. The fact that breathing on Lillard was a foul. I'm not saying the spurs aren't good, but looking at some of the stuff that Splitter got away with, and then playing it frame by frame next to some of the fouls Asik drew it blows my mind how it's clean one game a foul the next. We can sit and talk about Harden, talk about the lack of team defense as well, if anything, our series against the blazers was a sh!tstorm of everything that could go wrong barring an injury. If just one component was missing in that equation it would have been a different series.

    We have a right to be bitter...watching the way that this series has been officiated in comparison to our series is adding more salt to our wounds.

    I guess we may have lost the series, but at least we'll always have those 2 official apologies to make up for it.

    why would LaMarcus Aldridge want to 'switch up the mojo'? The current mojo is a win...

    So the Blazers can play some D. Or Spurs just cooling down after being on fire in the first 3 games.

    It still baffles me the way the refs treat the Blazers as if it was the Heat out there.

    I swear Reggie brings up the fact that we couldn't guard LMA every chance he gets.

    Spurs got this. Crowd will get into it and Spurs will snap out of the complacent mode they were in last game

    Really wish they could ban the word "Rockets" from the broadcast. So tired.

    Spurs looking flat, but you just know Pop is going to get on them for that.

    It's cool - once SA wins the series, there'll be less mention of us...

    ...unless the announcers reach, and label SA as "the team that beat the team that beat Houston." :eek:
