    thanks, I'm still a noob :) Though I will say I've heard people call them boring even now. Maybe they are referring to spurs players being too disciplined and not showing emotion or something? Personally, that hasn't made them any less entertaining to watch


    ... and Leonard... :eek:

    Notice how when the Spurs hit a big shot or make a big play, you don't see all the posturing and chest thumping and strutting around like the Blazers were doing against the Rockets.

    The Spurs are all class and the Blazers are freaking punks. Glad their season is about to end.

    20 point lead, allows a layup, time out called by Pop.

    What's it like having an actual coach?

    Good coaches are a rarity. Pop is one of 2-3 remaining in this league. Most of the other good coaches aren't even coaching.

    Regular season. The game planning and preparation aren't the same. Ask the Nets. And yea, teams try harder in the playoffs.

    No, you either completely ignored my post or just wanted to get that out of your system. The spurs don't take the RS that seriously, the way they have tightened the clamps in the post season is a clear indicator of that--it really isn't even a question. Second, they were missing either Leanord/Splitter/Manu in a couple of those games. The rockets did good, but if their execution got exposed by Portland, it would be a bloodbath against the spurs. You can continue to stick your head in the sand and sing whatever tune you want, it won't change the reality of things.

    I don't know man. Wesley Matthews crying after every...single...foul...is fairly annoying. He's up there with Mo for me.
