Is it just me, or have the Spurs sucked lately?

Yes, I am a San Antonio Spurs fan as well.\n\nYes, I believe they haven't played very well lately.\n\nI believe it is because Timothy Duncan, of course, has been deteriorating steadily, and Tony Parker is already getting ready for the play-offs (meaning, he's starting to not play so well), so it's all up to Manu Ginobli.\n\nAs a matter of fact, in the last 5 games or so I think that Manu Ginobli has the best POINTS average, though last night Tim Duncan had sudden resurgance in which he scored about 30 points.\n\nI hope they shape up for the POSTSEASON, where they shall destroy all and win their 2nd consecutive NBA CHAMPIONSHIP!

first of all arent u suppost to play more than 5 players? Detroit is wack they got no one to pull of the bench.  theres sumtin called fatigue and foul trouble. like chauncy billups said game 7 last year he got 4 fouls the first 4 minutes n thats y he struggled.  im sure tony delk will do a good job... not!  Lets talk about the Spurs duncan n ginoboli were hurt n they still win 60 games!  lets talk about Tony Parker! Leads the laegue in points in the paint! Ginoboli is an all star n gold medalist n duncan is a 3 time finals mvp and nba mvp twice.  N they got a better bench this year. its over baby! Spurs all the way!

Good question.\n\nFor the Mavs, they need to get out on the break a little, and force their transition game.  They need to create one-on-one situations for Dirk to get Duncan in foul trouble.  And, needless to say, they need to keep their main guys out of foul trouble themselves.\n\nThe Spurs need Parker to play like he has all year, but for a couple games this series.  Duncan has to stay on the floor and hit at least 2/3 of his foul shots (that's his only weakness whatsoever as a player), and they need to let Manu do his thing and create.  Also, Bowen has to be his usual pestiferous self on defense.\n\nBeing the home team, I see the Spurs winning by 4.

Don't listen to anyone else--you are SOOOO right! The Suns are the BEST when it comes to playing offensively, and they would DEFINITELY beat the Mavs if they met in the Conference Finals..! Mavs shouldn't be up this series--Spurs should, and they know it! You can't take credit for playing well like the Mavericks have when it's free throws that have won them the past two games. Not just free throws--but free throws that were shot off of bad whistles. I'm a Spurs fan, and PRAY they beat the crap outa' the Mavericks in 7--but if they don't--I'm praying even HARDER for the Suns to beat the crap out of them, then! LoL =)

Hate is such a harsh word. \nThe Lakers and the Spurs suck compared to the Pistons. Last year, the Spurs just got a break from crooked officials.

No way! The Kings only got "The Dime". The Spurs are gonna win in 4 or 5 games...

Well they all seem to be having their good and bad games, but the Habs are definitely picking up their game this year.  Toronto sucks as usual, and don't get me started on the Sens...how embarrassing...For a team that was predicted to win the Cup last year, scoring under .500 already isn't a good sign.  I guess it's too early to tell.

I do.  I am also a Spurs fan so this answer will be somewhat subjective.  Nothing against the Mavericks but all you have to do is look at the matchups.  The Spurs have the better superstar, Tim Duncan, the better point guard, Tony Parker, the better lock-down defender, Bruce Bowen, and all around better shooters.  The only explanation I can think of for them not being there would be the fact that they added some new players in the offseason and are still looking for a system that works best with the players they have, while the Mavericks didn't do much in the offseason so they already had the chemistry in place.  Best of luck to the Mavericks though, I'd love to see Avery Johnson coach a team to a title, even though Mark Cuban is a douche.

Hell ya they are Awesome, Game 7 spurs will win. Michael Finley showed his ass tonight, Parker really need to step his game up, we need him more. Manu is cool, never no what hes going to do, Duncan need to become more of a outside shooter and the spurs will be more better, I just liked them. I hope the suns beat the clippers, then phenoix will have to deal with the spurs lol.

Yes Ma'am! By beating the Mavericks and tying the series, the Spurs have not only gained the momentum--but the CONFIDENCE. If anyone watched the post-game interviews with Dallas, they saw what I saw, and that was a team that looked UNSURE. Just days earlier, they carried a swagger and a "spark" that was the prime reason for being up 3-1, and now that has vanished! Both teams have faced adversity, but San Antonio is the only one that has had to face THAT, PLUS elimination! After all that hard work, AND playing on their home court in a Game 7 situation they've been in--I doubt they will let the Mavericks steal it from them, and I do believe they will win! =)

Maybe not.\n\nLakers did won the last five games, but Chris Paul only played 24 mins on 4/19, Steve Nash and Raja Bell didn't play on 4/16, Clppers was trying to lose to get the six seed.  The other two teams are Golden States and Portland.\n\nLakers lost three out of four games to Phoenix this year, the only winning game is the one on 4/16.  Those three games Lakers average lost more than 12 points.\n\nPhoenix is definitely easier than Spurs, but we'll see.

Not a San Antonio fan at all, go Dallas!! If they play like they did in Game 2 at home in Games 3 and 4 then they will have a 3-1 lead.  There defense was stiffling and the adjustments Avery Johnson made were very good adjustments nad gave San Antonio fits, like I said go dalls cause I hate the spurs
