Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Spurs last night 96-95, winning their first road game against a team with a winning record this year. Thunder has the fifth fewest NBA wins this season; but 10 percent of their wins include two victories in three weeks against the Spurs.
Why did the Spurs lose these games?
The Spurs have lost nine of their last 18 games and remain mired in losing mediocrity. What will it take to jump start Spurs on the road to victory? I have suggestions.
Warning: If you are a Spurs fan, you will not like them anymore than previous articles which predicted their current run of losses!
1) Some Spurs and Coach Popovich have lost the Will to Win!!!
Players are not playing as a team but pointing fingers in game huddles. I am tired of Popovich and Duncan shrugging their shoulders with generic responses like “it’s just a game” and “we are struggling now.”
These responses declare Spurs do not know why they lost and will repeat losses! Think defense. Think poor coaching. Not worn-out excuses!
The next time Pop or Duncan offer apathetic responses, I wish a reporter would yell “WAKE UP! DO YOU WANT TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP OR NOT? Then play like you want to win again!”
Spurs are one game away from losing first round home court playoff advantage. Only injured Ginobli expresses fire in the belly determination to win. Ginobli and Parker are the heart and soul of the Spurs. Duncan is the muscle.
