Spurs Team Report
(Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:36:29 PST)
Panic might be striking at the heart of Spurs fans, but not the Spurs.
"If the playoffs started tomorrow, I think we'd be in trouble," forward Tim Duncan said. "But we've got a long way to go."
The Spurs have lost three games in a row and they're just 10 games into the season. They've lost two in a row at home. They're 0-4 on the road.
They're also not themselves.
The Spurs lost to the Jazz on Thursday night, 90-83, in San Antonio for the first time in 20 years. They played without Tony Parker for a fourth time this season, and Manu Ginobili joined him on the bench with a strained groin that could keep him out more than a week.
It could be worse. Somehow, the Spurs rallied twice without Parker or Duncan to post wins.
