In those 6 losses, I think only 2-3 were w/o all 3, Parker and Ginobili were there for most of the losing games, I think there were only 1 game where all 3 didn't play. Don't act like all 6 losses were because all 3 players were all gone.

Plus weren't you just bragging how good the Spurs bench and how deep they are? I mean Hill really stepped up and beasted but they still lost.

I don't think you can ever attribute that many losses to 4 starters being out. But I would agree and say it was 3. The Spurs bench has recently disappointed except for Hill. Blair had a couple of months where he did really well, Bonner's 3 pointers were all falling, and a lot of Gary Neal's were too. A month ago I was sure they'd beat the Ladies...

See the problem with HOF (not just bball but all sports) is the constant pressure to admit the very good, when I think they should admit only the truly transcendent or those that had a huge impact on the game.

Chris Mullin is a great shooter that scored 18 ppg and was average everywhere else. A multiple all star but not a perennial all star. If this is where the bar is set then Grant Hill, Glen Rice and Vince Carter should start writing their acceptance speeches.

You see my friend... this is why I know you are not true California. I have love in my heart for all this great, Golden State, north south east and west.

Mullin in Hall of Fame = the soft bigotry of low expectations.

Honestly there is truth to this. I believe what put Mullin over the top is the fact that he is a playground legend, played on multiple Olympic teams, and has continued to be a part of the game at a high level.

Terrible game last night, I can't even say the Jazz played great, the Lakers just played horribly.
