Spurs 0-3…worst start in 35 years
I can’t believe I thought this team would be good even until Ginobili came back. What was i thinking? I know it is early and 3 games does not a season make but this is terrible. The Cavs just hammered the Mavericks the night before and made Dirk look average in doing it. The next night Jason Kidd and Dirk look like they turned back the clock about 5 years and just destroyed the Spurs. The game was over by halftime. Tim Duncan was average and Tony Parker was average but that’s all the Spurs are showing. Michael Finley is playing his age and looks like a spot starter at best right now and the depth is clearly lacking. Jason Terry scored nearly 30 for the Mavericks. I didn’t think Jason Terry could score 30 in a city league game against older, fat (soft, I meant soft) guys like myself.
What was I thinking? Who is picking up the slack left by Ginobili? Nobody. Not Finley, not Roger Mason, not Matt Bonner (doesn’t belong in the NBA), not Oberto, not anyone. They were done by mid 2nd quarter and only even showed a couple signs of life. Duncan and Parker can’t play the entire game but this team needs to get a win under their belt before the reality of a down season sets in. This team looks old and battered and that was an early season home game. Manu can’t get well fast enough but even then the Spurs are terrible and i can’t believe i’m the idiot who picked them to be a sleeper. I guess Popp can only work magic when he has talent, something this team simply doesn’t have enough of.
