The Spurs have had trouble putting away opponents lately, even while racking up the wins. Following an overtime victory against Memphis the Spurs had hoped to do away with the Suns relatively easily. The Suns, shorthanded and without the aid of their new trade acquisitions, such as Vince Carter, looked like something of a sure win to the streaking Spurs.

Steve Nash and company, however, had other plans. Nash himself put up 17 points along with 10 assists, while Jared Dudley, averaging 6.8 points per game this season, exploded for 27 points on 54% shooting. Grant Hill added another 19 points to go along with significant contributions from Hakeem Warrick and Josh Childress. As a team the Suns shot 53% from the field and showed that regardless of how short handed they might be, no Steve Nash led team would go down without putting up a fight.

The Spurs, lacking a fantastic sixth man in George Hill, saw their best scoring come from Gary Neal, who put in 22 points including clutch free throw shooting down the stretch. Tony Parker, recently named player of the week in the Western Conference, added 19 points and six assists despite spending a good amount of time in foul trouble. Tim Duncan's impact was felt on all sides of the court as he rumbled in for 20 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals in what was one of his best all around performances of the season. It's obvious Duncan still has a lot in the tank, even if he is letting other players carry more of the load these days.

The loss of Hill takes away alot from our bench. Add in no Splitter and Anderson and we are super thin right now.

Being able to win in all facets is more impressive to me than blow out after blow out.

This couldn't of gone in the GT?

It's okay, he's just trying to promote his website at the same time. It's a good article and I don't disagree with anything he said. Nice job.

Anyways, didn't we have another poster a while back who does this sort of thing also? The thing is that you guys don't really have any inside info. Basically, you're just writing what we all already know. That's the biggest thing holding you back. Spurs fans (like me) won't browse to your site because I know that there won't be anything new that I don't know about. Non-Spurs fans won't likely browse a Spurs site either.

They haven't had to play Miami, La Lakers or Boston and they've played Dallas once and lost to them... There's a big reason for the roll they're on.

Okay.. I'll try this out and talk out of my a$$ like you just did.

Well.. Miami, LA, and Boston are lucky because they haven't play us yet. That's the reason they're doing well so far. Otherwise, they'll start a 50 game losing streak once they play us.
