    Spurs lack a quality consistent jump shooter
    I saw one clutch 3 pointer in those last 5 minutes, whereas Portland were chucking them in for fun. Ginobli hasn't looked the same animal and they are way too dependant on Parker for penetration. Gonna start fading this side, over-rated alongside the Heat. Taking them against the spread each time now.

    uhm.. They are playing back to back and had a tough game against Utah. Keep fading them and you will lose more money.

      If you are looking for a fault, that's far from where I would put it. Maybe they can be turnover prone and lack a perimeter defender...the latter which will be solved once Leonard and Jax come back

        I've heard too much shit about back to back nonsense. Late November they won 4 games all on the road and all almost pretty much back to back, the only difference was those teams they beat had no real "go to" players, moment Spurs hit a team with someone who can really "go hot", (as long as the team are competent in all other areas of the game) Spurs struggle. Atleast this is how it's seemed so far this season. Their only real impressive win so far this season has been away @ Houston, aside from that, nothing, they needed a lot of hustle to overcome the Grizzlies @ home and aside from these 2 I can't really see where they've impressed that much?

          On howmany occasions did they move the ball around beautifully into space and then miss the 3 pointer tonight? There's way too much pressure on Parker to come up with the mid to long range shooting goods all to often with this side. Their 3s were airballs in the last few minutes, they couldn't hack a little bit of intensive pressure from a defence. Really disappointed with them, I feel they are a side jus waiting to implode. We all think they are jus "experienced" coz they keep squeeking wins over dogshit sides though.

            Unreal. This team is like 15-8 ATS or something ridiculous like that. They were the best ATS team in the NBA by far last year.

            I'm a Mavs fan so I ain't fond of these guys but you're talking utter nonsense.

              With the player's they have out ATM, I wouldn't take to make the spread against anyone other than the real rubbish of the league. Look @ their opening wins.

              Pacers away by 7, that wasn't too impressive considering pacers have proven to be statistically the worst offensive team in the NBA.

              Raptors away by 5... LOL! One man Lowry team.

              Wizards had a dreadful start to the season and they beat them comprehensively and made the spread.

              Magic are pittiful, we all know that.

              Bucks @ home by 1 point? LOL!

              Aside from their win over Houston, where have they actually done anything for you to be confident they can beat teams by a spread margin? Especially with the player's they have out and are really missing?

                Lol. You say that but they covered in all but one of those games.

                As far as I know they beat the Bucks by 10. You probably mean they only covered the spread by a point. So what, to be considered a good team you have to beat the spread by a mile? Ok, whatever.

                Yeah they may have covered late in some of those games, but that happens when you've got one of the deepest teams in the league.

                Keep fading. See where that gets you.

                  Look, I'm not saying they aren't a good side, I jus believe they need A LOT of hustle to beat those half-decent sides and the moment they run into a half-decent side with a really gifted shooter who is firing on all cylinders, they struggle, because they simply can't keep up with the scoring. They aren't really able to go on streaks of scoring atm particularly away from home. Once a team's starman is in the zone and shoots open a lead, the Spurs are always struggling. You could see that today, they tried to hustle another win with a 4th quarter push and they simply didn't have the shooters to keep up. They'd have won this game without Llilard for Portland with another hustle in the final surge. This is why I'm skeptical about when they come up against a side with a starman or men who can go on silly streaks of ridiculous shooting.

                  I'll only fade them away from home and against teams with player's who can really make an impact if they are hot.

                      I think the Spurs' record speaks for itself in comparison to Portland's.

                      How about SA's points from 3/game: http://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat...rom-3-pointers

                          Dude you didn't even know who Lilliard was



                          and now you're making all these retarded judgements against the Spurs based on this one game and I'm wondering if this is the only NBA game you've watched this whole season. It's pretty obvious you have no idea wtf you are talking about.

                              Right...all the Spurs need is ANOTHER jump shooter.

                              Sorry you were on the Spurs last night. Get over it kid.
