Man that was very disappointing and Manu has the perfect word for this. They "blitzed" us.
Everything that could go wrong went wrong. Horrible FT, bad turnovers, letting the suns have open threes, and just missing makeable shots.
But the suns played great though I have to give it up to them and good luck against the Lakers because they're going to need it.
Do Be Doo you're right about mason he didn't crap for us almost all season but not so sure about Jefferson.
I think we need to give him one more chance because when he plays good we are hard to beat. But I really don't know what Pop can do with him.
But in the off-season we're going to need better shooters and hopefully Splitter comes from Europe.
I really thought we had a chance to go to the finals after beating Dallas but the Suns really played crisp basketball and
we just looked tired (contributed very little for our bad play)
Anyways I believe the front office will do a good job in getting us what we need.

they need a good spot-up shooter (mason suddenly went off this season) and a true center. IMO duncan plays better as a PF and blair is undersized

Back when Splitter was drafted I read in the paper he was a "European Duncan".
I think the last game of the regular season R.C. Buford called his play like "Anderson Varejao".
I need to see video of him on youtube to see what we got...
Trade Tony? I'm going to give you time to think about what you said

Another scorer is what the Spurs needed. If Splitter is coming to the Spurs as all the reports and articles saying he will, they can be contenders again next season.

In a surprise move, Richard Jefferson has informed the Spurs that he intends to opt out of the final season of his contract and will become a free agent at midnight eastern time.
Jefferson was due to make $15 million next year. Opting out gives him the freedom to negotiate a long-term deal, in advance of a new collective bargaining agreement next season.
The move will move the Spurs below the luxury tax line, but not the projected salary cap. It does not necessarily mean the Jefferson era in San Antonio is over.
Jefferson, who arrived in a trade with Milwaukee last offseason, never quite reached expectations in San Antonio. He averaged 12.3 points and 4.4 rebounds in his first — and perhaps, only — season with the Spurs.

The Spurs are bringing Splitter for sure not that RJ has opt out of his contract. RJ is out of his mind but being that so many teams are under the cap this season, he will probably get something along the line of 4 years 39 million. The Spurs could also make some moves this off-season where they had no chance to before.

SAN ANTONIO -- Tony Parker swore he didn't want to leave the Spurs, and he has a new contract to finally prove it.
The Spurs signed Parker to a multiyear extension Saturday that preserves their three-time NBA champion core of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and the star point guard, and puts an abrupt end to what would've undoubtedly been a season of speculation.
Parker
The extension is for $50 million over four years, according to Parker's website.
Rumors swirled over the summer about where the 28-year-old former All-Star might end up after this season, but Parker has insisted that he and his wife, actress Eva Longoria Parker, wanted to remain in San Antonio.
"I didn't mind playing through the year and be a free agent," Parker said. "But it was my first option and for my wife was to stay in San Antonio."
The French star entered his 10th season saying this was likely the Big Three's last chance at a fourth championship together because of Duncan's age. Duncan will be 35 when the playoffs begin, and the final year of his contract is threatened by a potential lockout next season.
But Parker, who was beset by injuries during an underperforming season a year ago, now appears firmly invested in a possible post-Duncan future.
The Spurs are also looking ahead: Parker's contract marks their third big extension since April, when Ginobili signed on for three more years, followed by swingman Richard Jefferson restructuring a new four-year deal over the summer.
"He's a character guy," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "And I just don't know what else to say about him and it's reflected in the extension that we gave him. That's how we feel about him."
Parker has spent his entire career in San Antonio, joining the Spurs at 19. Popovich put him in the starting lineup after just five games, and the next year, he helped lead the Spurs to their first of three NBA titles in five seasons.
Parker has averaged 16.6 points and 5.7 assists for his career. He is two seasons removed from averaging 22 points in 2008-09, when he appeared poised to supplant Duncan as the leading scorer.
But foot injuries and a broken hand last season derailed him. While Parker's numbers fell off, Ginobili's own durability concerns kept the Spurs from offering the Argentine an extension until he proved he could still produce and stay healthy at 32 years old.
But the Spurs believe Parker might still have his best years in front of him.
"Age-wise everybody would say that's about a peak age," Popovich said.
Parker spoke with Ginobili at length about how he handled his then-expiring deal last season, when Ginobili admitted to being bothered by the Spurs' hesitation. But Parker said Saturday their situations are different because Ginobili was never fully healthy for two years.
He then said it didn't matter. They're all sticking around now, anyway.
"It's home here," Parker said. "I love being with Pop. I love being with Timmy and Manu. I'm happy to keep the adventure going with them."
