[SHAQATTACK]

Well...at least we aren't being totally embarrassed

If the C's could shoot a better percentage, this team could win games, they play hard every possession, they defend.

[blink]

Amir looking like the real deal on both sides of the ball today.  He is going to have to start to get more minutes and probably start right?

If we're going to lose at least it's to the Spurs. I really enjoy watching that team play the type of ball they do. Nice that we're staying in it though.

So uh ... who still thinks this looks like a 50 win team?

Give them time...

It's one of the younger teams in the NBA, with a lot of guys who are still learning / developing along the way.  Two of the only legit vets team are both new to the team.

It's going to take some games for them all to get adjusted to roles and start playing with natural chemistry.

I agree with you, but generally teams that need to spend a chunk of the season figuring out how to make the most of the pieces on the roster don't end up winning 50 games, unless their core guys are superstars and they can go on a mega run, like some of LeBron's teams have done.

Lots of guys are missing the kinds of shots that they normally rarely miss.  That won't be the case all season.

I maintain my confidence in the team, and it's also worth noting that this game is not over yet.

Completely with you on this.  SA is experienced and possibly the best team in the league.  And I'm not sure we're done yet today.

Sully and Amir have made a strong case to start on this team.  Brad needs to prioritize the starting lineup and let the bench unit figure it out. 

Our bench unit is strong but it's at the expense of having an adequate starting unit.

Agree ^

[SHAQATTACK]

Amazing only down five

Feels like a victory

At this point

[jpotter33]

As poorly as we've shot today, I'm not sure that we can really complain about being down this little to the Spurs in the fourth. Though we've had several individuals play horribly, we've defended excellently as a team, and SMart, Bradley, and Amir have all been excellent.

I think it's safe to say that Amir Johnson should start. He's bringing it on both ends on the floor.
