Not so hot!
On a night where Tim Duncan got into early foul trouble the #1 team in the
league got embarrassed in front of their home crowd. To all Spurs fans, do not
feel so alarmed. I don’t know if Pop picks and chooses when to give his guys a
rest. Certain teams seem to have the number of other teams. For the avid spurs
fan you would know that historically the spurs do not play well against the
Blazers. The all time record for the Spurs vs. Blazers is 74-74. The past five
seasons the spurs are 5-12 against the Blazers. The Spurs have only managed to
beat the Blazers 5 times in the past five seasons, while accumulating 12 losses,
which is not typical of the Spurs. The Blazers always rise for the challenge
when they play the Spurs. For the Spurs, they seem to take the night off against
the Blazers for the past five seasons. Combine Tim Duncan’s early foul trouble,
Tony Parker’s injury, and the Spurs lack of interest to beat the Blazers you
have the recipe for a perfect storm. Give credit to the Blazers for their
hustle and will to beat the Spurs. However, it is nothing that any Spurs fan
should be alarmed about. The Spurs will lick their wounds, pick the pieces
up, and remind their next opponent why they are the leagues best.
