Five Reasons Why the San Antonio Spurs Will Fold In the 2009 NBA Semifinals
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 4:09am

Most basketball fans know the Spurs are the NBA’s oldest team, but they seldom consider the full repercussions of how advanced age affects a team’s athletic performance. Here are five reasons why the Spurs will fall:



1) The Spurs play soft, half-court basketball.

They do not exert a sustained energy level for an entire game. The NBA schedule favored the Spurs against the Los Angeles Lakers this year, who had to play the Spurs twice on the second game of road back-to-backs.

The Lakers won one of those games and the 2009 regular season series.

During the March 12 game's second half, Kobe Bryant drove through the entire Spurs team, turned in mid-air looking backwards in disbelief that no Spur had come within two feet to touch him.

Kobe smiled while dropping the ball into the basket, telling everyone that the Spurs were out of gas.

The Lakers took home court advantage in the Western Conference Finals with an easy seven point win. The Spurs won’t be in the 2009 finals, not if they face New Orleans first.

During the Tim Duncan era, the Spurs have adopted a game plan of not losing games as opposed to trying to win each game.

When the Lakers, Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers are on the court, it is unmistakable that those teams are there to play hard-nosed basketball and seriously determined to win each game.



2) Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan are constantly injured due to old age.

This is placing too much pressure on Tony Parker to carry the Spurs scoring load without consistent points from his teammates. Parker has also been injured this year.

Ginobili is all heart with no brain. The “Argentine Comet” is at the end of his meteoric career because he does not play intelligently enough by getting himself injured. He is an accident-prone, overly emotional player.

You don’t foul Dirk Nowitzki in the seventh game of a Western Conference Finals when you have a three point lead with less than 20 seconds on the clock.

Ginobili couldn’t resist temptation. He fouled Dirk on a layup and the Spurs lost their second overtime game during the Western Conference Finals to the Dallas Mavericks.

Ginobili's “Bonehead Play of the Decade” cost the Spurs the 2005-2006 NBA Championship against the Miami Heat; a team they had easily dominated, winning by an average of 10.5 points per game in two regular season games.



3) The Spurs suffer Old Man’s Syndrome (OMS)

This team seldom wins overtime games because their legs are shot. This also explains why the Spurs often experience four to eight minute scoring droughts during the second half against stronger teams.

In the 2003 Semifinals, the Spurs lost a 16 point late second half lead at home due to OMS.

The Spurs are a fading memory of a good, not great, team that won four championships over the last decade. They have benefited by defeating weaker college-level Eastern Conference teams, and the megastar ego clashes between O’Neal and Bryant.

The Western Conference consistently had the NBA’s strongest eight teams, but none were great teams before 2006.

(NBA officiating in Los Angeles was blatantly atrocious stealing at least one outright NBA Championship from Sacramento. Even Ralph Nader called for congress to investigate NBA game officiating in Los Angeles.)



4) The Spurs miss critical game-winning foul shots.

Second half fatigue results in missed foul shots—the easiest points in basketball. Last week, the Spurs lost an 80-77 game to the Celtics after they choked 0-for-6 (Parker 0-for-4) at the charity stripe in the final two minutes. Purely fatigue.

Tim Duncan is a great candidate for the “Hack-a-Shack”. Duncan often chokes critical fourth quarter foul shots and he has very weak hands.

A pass into Duncan will immediately draw double teams late in games. A slap at Tim’s hands produces a loose ball turnover or two less-than-70 percent-accurate foul shots.



5) Gregg Popovich is an overrated, one-dimensional defensive coach despite his impressive win/loss record.

The Spurs win only .500 against winning teams. Pop’s coaching strength is knowing when to rest his players, but he no longer has that luxury since his starters are often injured or exhausted.

Pop’s weaknesses are a failure to counter opposing offensive plans with effective player matchups (or altering his defensive game plan) and personality/player conflicts.

His shoddy treatment of Malik Rose, the Spurs last true power forward, was emotionally-based poor decision making that cost the Spurs key playoff games, and very likely an NBA Championship in 2004!

In 2004, the Spurs won the first two home games of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Lakers. Tony Parker scorched the Lakers averaging 25 points per game. Coach Jackson readjusted his defensive plan and Parker would not score 20 points again.

Pop could have readjusted Parker’s offense with picks, screens, and rolls after Jackson jammed the lane shutting down Parker’s dribble penetration. Or Pop could have played Malik Rose to counter Karl Malone's lane defensive presence.

Pop did nothing as Rose idly sat, being rudely ignored by his coach.

After winning 17 games in a row, the Spurs were shocked losing four games in a row! Popovich was clueless and could not counter Coach Jackson's new defensive scheme, which shut Parker down. Pop showed arrogance and ignorance by not playing Rose, who is known for his instant energy.

Playing as a small center against Shaq in his prime, Malik Rose led the Spurs single-handedly with 30 points against the Shaq and Bryant Lakers tandem leading most of the game in a 117-120 OT loss. Parker and Duncan sat the bench for the entire game!

Despite his heroics, Pop did not let Rose play in the Lakers Conference semifinals! Why, after Rose had played so brilliantly against the Lakers that year? Only Pop knows.

When one Spurs starter is injured, an inconsistent bench means overall team performance plunges. The Spurs have lost their ability to compete at the NBA’s highest level except for brief periods, one or two games per series.

Spurs barely have won seven of their last 14 games, including a one point win tonight over the lowly Golden State Warriors, a team that has not beat them at home in more than a decade.

When the San Antonio Spurs lost last Sunday to the Houston Rockets, they had a losing record over their previous 13 games, with 13 games remaining.

Now with 12 games remaining, and seven on the road, the Spurs will likely end the season with 55 to 57 wins with two possible losses to New Orleans going into the playoffs.

If the Spurs do not meet New Orleans in the playoffs, they might make the Conference Finals, but that seems very unlikely unless Ginobili plays smart (for the first time in his life) and Drew Gooden gets some serious playing time.

Which NBA team is oldest to youngest 1-30? - Yahoo! Answers

[tackielarla]

Dude, you're hopeless...

A couple of things though:
1. check the dates of the articles you posted
2. between those articles and the recent moves made by the team, go to Yahoo's SPURS teampage and get the mean average age of the SPURS.
3. do the same for your team
4. when you're done, comeback here and post your results
5. if you don't know how to get a mean average, google it

Ok? I hope that's simple enough for you to understand. If not, let me know which part of the steps you don't quite grasp.

Top 15 NBA ‘Clutch’ Shooters
R.S. De France

When you think of clutch shots, who do you think of? MJ in 1998. Horry in 2003 (or 2005 if you’re a Spur’s fan). Jerry West in 1968, his classic ¾ court heave.

After a game four loss in the NBA Finals, Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said “experience was not a factor.” I respectfully disagree.

Clearly, we can look at the result in this year’s finals as proof of the opposite. We can look at Game 4 where the Lakers’ Derek Fisher, who had missed all his previous attempts in the game, made two clutch three-pointers to clinch the game and with it, the series. Experience comes in many forms, one of which is clutch shooting, which was clearly a factor. Clutch, in this sense, means who is the deadliest shooter when a game is on the line.

Just looking around the league, in anticipation of next season, there seems to be a clear relationship between experience, clutch shooting and winning. Seems easy enough. This is not, however, obvious to Van Gundy who said “[experience] had nothing to do with anything. Nothing…it’s just too cliché that it’s all about finals experience.” Perhaps, Van Gundy has a good point. When the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat met in 2006, neither had any finals experience, and yet somebody still had to win. But when an inexperienced team plays against a more experienced team, this “cliché” comes into play. See the San Antonio Spurs against the Cleveland Cavaliers in ’07, a 4-0 rout. Or the ’09 Finals between the Magic and the Los Angeles Lakers, a 4-1 rout.

Without the clutch and experienced play of Derek Fisher, the 2009 Lakers might have fallen short of the title. But, in addition to Fisher, who else is likely to break your heart when they rise up for a shot at the end of the game? Unfortunately for Van Gundy, a lot of these experienced shooters play for the best teams.

Top 15 Clutch Shooters in the NBA

15. Stephen Jackson, Golden State — attitude, confidence, make or miss, his last second shots always look like they have a chance to drop. And when it does, get ready for that classic Jackson glare. Although his team hasn’t made it to the playoffs since ’07, his regular season exploits sure fill up the highlight reel.

14. Mehmet Okur, Utah—at the end of a tight game, they’d rather give him the ball win or lose than give it Kyle Korver or Carlos Boozer. Deron Williams, however, is quickly taking on this role more frequently. Okur shot 44.6% from 3-point range in 2008-2009.

13. Mike Bibby, Atlanta—despite the likes of Joe Johnson and Josh Smith, Bibby is still relied upon as their top clutch shooter. Known best for his late-game exploits with the Sacramento Kings, Bibby has shown he can still produce in the playoffs, especially in crunch time. In the ’09 playoffs, Bibby increased his 3-point percentage to 54.2%.

12. Eddie House, Boston—often overlooked because of the likes of Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, House will bury any team if they leave him open for a corner three, especially at the end of games. Leaving Allen off this list in favor of House is a result of Allen’s often disappointing playoff performances with the Boston Celtics. Sure, this year he made one clutch shot against the Bulls in Game 2. How many other clutch shots did he make these playoffs? What about last year’s finals and his famous disappearing act? Unlike last year, where Allen’s numbers stayed about the same in the playoffs as the regular season, in the ’09 playoffs, Allen’s numbers dropped significantly (-5% in 3’s). House, on the other hand, raised his field goal and 3-point percentages from 44% in the regular season to 51.9 FG and 48.6% 3pt in the ’09 playoffs.

11. Derek Fisher, Lakers—he has to make this list if only based on his merits. Has anyone else in the NBA ever made a turnaround game-winner in 0.4 seconds? In 2009, he added more exploits in his now famous game 4, where he drilled a pair of threes, one to send the game into overtime, and the other to take the lead in overtime. As opposed to his numbers last playoffs which increased (field goals and 3-point percentage), this year Fisher’s three’s dropped down to a pitiful 28.6%. But, hey, he made the ones that counted most (just like Shaquille O’Neil would say about his own free throws).

10. Tim Duncan, Spurs—Duncan improved on his regular season field goal percentage by 3%, up to 53%.*

9. Manu Ginobli, Spurs—Ginobli was injured these last playoffs, but his career numbers show consistency. When he gets to the playoffs, his scoring increases and his percentages remain about the same.*

8. Tony Parker, Spurs—Parker, similar to Fisher, shows signs of slowing down and shooting worse in the playoffs, even though he consistently scores more points. Still, on or off, I would not give him an open shot in a close game.

*Perhaps none of these three Spurs are the best shooters, but would you let them shoot one with a chance to win the game? Me neither. Although none are the purest shooters, they’ve all hit game-winning and game-changing shots. Dirk Nowitzki thought otherwise in the ’07 playoffs, but, with the game on the line, Duncan came through and hit his only three of that season. The Spurs went on to win the series. If we still doubt that they can come up big in the clutch, see their multiple championships (4).

7. Ben Gordon, Detroit—formerly the go-to-guy in Chicago before Derrick Rose came to town. Similar to Parker, Gordon becomes a volume scorer in the playoffs, his scoring increasing, but shooting decreasing. Nonetheless, you need a clutch shot, he’ll take it and likely make it. Before leaving the team, Gordon put on a game to remember scoring 42 against the Celtics in the ’09 playoffs.

6. Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas—although his exploits are nearly forgotten with his team’s downfall from the Finals to barely making the playoffs, Nowitzki is still a great clutch shooter. When Nowitzki figures out how to make 3’s in the playoffs, he’ll be better suited for this list. Even so, his ’09 playoff free throw, 92.5%, and field goal, 51.8 %, numbers were career highs, so maybe he’s learning. And, even though the Mavericks didn’t make it any further than the second round of the playoffs, in the series clinching game (Game 5), Nowitzki drilled some clutch shots, including one with less than a minute left, to sink the Spurs.

5. Hedo Turkoglu, Toronto—last season, Turk probably hit more clutch shots than anyone, but with a new home and a new team this season, it will be interesting if he still gets those same opportunities to be a game-saver. In the ’09 playoffs, Turkoglu showed he understands the moment by increasing his free throw, field goal, and 3-point percentages.

4. Chauncey Billups, Denver—you don’t get a name like Chauncey “Big Shot” Billups without being dependable. He’s not perfect—everybody misses sometimes like he did these playoffs against the Lakers, but he really earned this nickname in Detroit. Nonetheless, in ’09 Billups really kicked it up, increasing his scoring to 20.6, and his 3-pointers to 46.8%.

3. Dwayne Wade, Miami—since his 2004 game-winning playoff shot over then Hornet Baron Davis, Wade has been feared by his peers. In the ’09 playoffs, Wade increased his 3-point percentage by about 5% and his free throw percentage by almost 10%. Last season he made lots of clutch shots. One of the most memorable was in a regular season game in Miami, against the Chicago Bulls, where, with little time left, Wade got a steal, dribbled down court, hit a running jumper for the win and ran up onto the scorer’s table, repeatedly and passionately yelling that this was “his house.”

2. Paul Pierce, Boston—in Boston, if you need a shot, you look no further than this man. Statistics don’t tell the whole story on Pierce because his career performances in the regular season are better than his performances in the playoffs. When they won the title, though, Pierce put up nice numbers. 19.7 ppg, 4.6 apg, 5 rpg. Despite what he averages, he is still usually given the chance to win the game if it is close. On their way to a title in 2008, Pierce repeatedly threw in clutch shots against Atlanta, and the L.A. Lakers, among others. As a Laker fan, I laughed at Pierce’s infamous NBA Finals wheelchair incident, only to cry minutes later when he busted threes on the Lakers with time running out.

1. Kobe Bryant, Lakers—almost every player in the NBA today will tell you: Kobe is unstoppable. He is the most feared shooter, especially at the end of the game. His ’06 playoff shot against the Suns (Shaq-less). His ’01 Finals shots at the end of a game against the Pacers (with Shaquille fouled out). In the ’09 playoffs, Bryant pushed his scoring average up 5 points to 30.2 ppg and increased his free throw percentage by 4% to 88.3%. In these same playoffs, he made clutch shots against the Utah Jazz and the Denver Nuggets. What makes Bryant a clear #1 to me happened in the first televised USA Olympic practice game in ’08. Here, in the Olympics, only the cream of the crop play, period. When the game was close and nearly over, the ball went to Kobe where he schooled LeBron James with a clutch shot to win the game.

Dude, you're hopeless...

A couple of things though:
1. check the dates of the articles you posted
2. between those articles and the recent moves made by the team, go to Yahoo's SPURS teampage and get the mean average age of the SPURS.
3. do the same for your team
4. when you're done, comeback here and post your results
5. if you don't know how to get a mean average, google it

Ok? I hope that's simple enough for you to understand. If not, let me know which part of the steps you don't quite grasp.

bro come to think of it and just admit that your team is a bunch of oldies... the articles dont lie. even though this coming season they are still considered one of the old teams ...its a good thing you got rid of bruce bowen ...hahahaha SAN ANTONIO "OLD" SPURS... di nana kinahanglan bro nisag mangutana paka sa taga san antonio... claro kaayo asta coach ubanon god

3) The Spurs suffer Old Man’s Syndrome (OMS)

This team seldom wins overtime games because their legs are shot. This also explains why the Spurs often experience four to eight minute scoring droughts during the second half against stronger teams.

In the 2003 Semifinals, the Spurs lost a 16 point late second half lead at home due to OMS.

The Spurs are a fading memory of a good, not great, team that won four championships over the last decade. They have benefited by defeating weaker college-level Eastern Conference teams, and the megastar ego clashes between O’Neal and Bryant.

The Western Conference consistently had the NBA’s strongest eight teams, but none were great teams before 2006.

2. between those articles and the recent moves made by the team, go to Yahoo's SPURS teampage and get the mean average age of the SPURS.

Let me spell it out for you.

1. The reason I asked you to check the dates of your articles was because they are OUTDATED. If you don't know what that word means, go here: www.mw.com. And yes, we've never denied the fact that our team is old the past 2 or 3 seasons. FYI.

2. The reason I asked you to check on our team roster was because we've made a LOT of moves this offseason that, I assume, you have clearly no idea of. You can also get the mean average age of our team through that site, just so you'd have a reference.

3. The reason I asked you to check on the celtics roster so that you would know the REAL state of your team, as well as get the mean average age of your team to compare with ours.

4. The reason I wanted you to post this was so that at least for once, you're allegations are actually backed up by solid proof.

5. Self-explanatory. Or do I need to break this down as well?

Bottomline? The celtics are THE oldest team in the NBA - this honor goes to them this season. Not taking anything away from your team; yes, the lineup is still formidable, but that doesn't change the glaring fact that you guys are old. Dirt old.

Capisce?
