The drought lasted four minutes and 40 seconds without a single Spurs point.

 

Duncan was on the bench the first six minutes in the fourth quarter during the Thunder's 10-0 run that won the game! Gooden should have been on the floor with Thomas for defense preventing the six points off Thunder layups!

 

Pop should have rested Duncan much earlier in the game instead of playing him 30 of the first 36 minutes!

Pop's coaching lost the Spurs this game!  Pop constantly misjudges his player's skills and underplaying solid players like Gooden and Thomas.

 

5)     A New Spurs Attitude: A “We-Are-Not-Losing-Anymore!!!" Attitude

      Expectations define attitudes and attitudes determine actions. If you expect losses to occur, you have a bad attitude and new losses will happen. Life tends to gives exactly what you expect. 

 

     Winners win because they expect to win, and losers lose because they expect to lose. When Spurs expect to win, they will play like it!
