What is the Kandiman dunk you are referring to?

Sick freaking game for Amare tonight. He was 45, 9, 6 last time I looked. What did he finish up with? Awesome performance from Amare.


the dunk on mike olowakandi with the clippers when marbury was here. but he ended with 51(new career high) 11rebs, 6ass, 5stls he shot 18-22 from the field and 15-15 from free throw

[tp2021]

Unless I'm misreading the box score, what's wrong with a forced shot that went in? The more shots he takes, the less Tony has to.

He missed the shot I was referring to.

[Obstructed_View]

Obstructed View is right that we are limited in bigs, so that's why Bonner is getting minutes..my point is just that Bonner SHOULDN'T be starting, because he isn't a good player..not saying there wasn't a reason..and to be honest, there hasn't been a good replacement, which is part of our problems so far..hopefully Ian is good enough..

Fab is obviously better though, so I wouldn't mind him starting..but then our bench would be even weaker..tough choice..

If the fucking dude ever starts hitting shots, everyone will be surprised how insignificant his contributions on defense are.

[angelbelow]

coming back. GO SPURS GO!

[HarlemHeat37]

If the fucking dude ever starts hitting shots, everyone will be surprised how insignificant his contributions on defense are.

his defense doesn't bother me..it's the fact that he's so soft, he makes Oberto look like Karl Malone..he loses his confidence so easily after 1 miss or 1 bad play..a guy like that can't be starting..

Ime!!! why the hell doesn't he play over Finley?..

[Fermixalot]

nice and 1 drive by Ime off the glass!!

edit: never mind.

[Ice009]

You want a starting five of Parker, Mason, Bowen, Udoka and Duncan? You'd have preferred that against Shaq and Amare?

Oberto, Duncan, Ime, Mason, Parker

Oberto, Duncan, Bowen, Ime, Parker

switch Thomas in for teams like Pheonix.

Also I can take Bonner starting against some teams too, but not Finley and Bonner at the same time.

[Spur-Addict]

iimeeeeeeeee

[Ice009]

Good Play Ime. Good Play.

[tav1]

I'm watching on broadband, which is fine so long as I only have one browser open.

Anyway, I few quick thoughts before I scadaddle back.

Fin shouldn't play. At all.

Neither should Bonner, which Pop seems to have realized.

The Spurs should start Parker, Mason, Udoka, Duncan and Oberto.

When Ginobili comes back, he, Bowen, Hill, and either Thomas or Mahinmi should give the Spurs enough of a bench.

Mahinmi is going to have to play well for the Spurs interior D to be where it needs to be.

Having said all that, I'm fairly encouraged despite the rough start to the season. Mason gives the Spurs a forth scorer. That alone is worth being excited about.

[Obstructed_View]

his defense doesn't bother me..it's the fact that he's so soft, he makes Oberto look like Karl Malone..he loses his confidence so easily after 1 miss or 1 bad play..a guy like that can't be starting..

Yeah, that just kills me. A guy like that can't play for Pop, that's for sure.

[HarlemHeat37]

we need to get a stop some point..

[Anti.Hero]

man I love Mason.

[angelbelow]

mason!

[tp2021]

Love used his off-arm. That should have been an offensive foul.

[HarlemHeat37]

Kurt's getting abused..please Ian, be a decent player..

[Ice009]

the dunk on mike olowakandi with the clippers when marbury was here. but he ended with 51(new career high) 11rebs, 6ass, 5stls he shot 18-22 from the field and 15-15 from free throw

WOW that line shows he wasn't even ball hogging. Just taking what he was given. That is a great game from Amare.

[tp2021]

RMJ for 3. 68-68.

[Ice009]

Mason Fucking Rules. Mason. Mason.

[angelbelow]

damn, mason is no joke.

[myhc]

Roger Effing Mason

[Spurs Brazil]

People complain about Bonner but Thomas is playing 100x worst

Finley was doing a better job on Love than Thomas

[byrdman31]

sweet keep me up i still cant see it.. stupid broadband

[tp2021]

:lol That Spurs fan was a bit too touchy, IMO.

[mfanatic]

mason isn't fucking around!!

[tp2021]

Tony with a jumper to give Spurs the lead, 70-68. He has 30 pts.

[kcplayboi_26]

keep it up mason, looks like it wasnt a bad pick up for my fantasy team

[Ice009]

I like this Thomas and Oberto front line when Tim sits. Fab can play the 4.

[byrdman31]

how many has mason dropped so far?

[Ice009]

Thomas has SUCKED this season, but I still think you gotta give him a longer leash than Bonner because he has proven for years that he can play a lot better than he is now.

[Anti.Hero]

Money MASSSSONNNNNNN

[Ice009]

I LOVE YOU MASON.

Good play Mason.

[Spur-Addict]

Damn right Mason

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Wow, Spurs have their first lead of the season after three quarters and it took 10 straight made shots against the Timberwolves.....to go up 3.

Oh well, at this point I'll take it.

[myhc]

how many has mason dropped so far?

16

[anjlbitz]

Mason with 18

[kcplayboi_26]

how many has mason dropped so far?

[kcplayboi_26]

LOL pacers scoreboard people gave Amare one of boris diaws baskets to make it look like 51 so he could stop scoring. and they changed it after amare came back out for the post game interview so 49 points

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 3 after the 3rd

TP playing fantastic and Mason doing great

Too bad Thomas and Finley help nothing

[Ice009]

Wow, Spurs have their first lead of the season after three quarters and it took 10 straight made shots against the Timberwolves.....to go up 3.

Oh well, at this point I'll take it.

We'll take man, we will take it.

[Fermixalot]

thank god Mason and Tony are lighting it up.

Do you think Tim is just gassed from all the minutes he's playing or is he just frustrated from the off night?

[angelbelow]

a lot crunch time. this is where we will shine.

[Fermixalot]

Hill in!!!

Mason and Hill gonna work it now.

[SpursFan0728]

please play better defense and show some stops

[angelbelow]

thank god Mason and Tony are lighting it up.

Do you think Tim is just gassed from all the minutes he's playing or is he just frustrated from the off night?

it has to be a little or a big mixture of both.

[completely deck]

Anyone know where Mahinmi is??

[djohn14]

Roger Mason is our LeBron James

[Ice009]

Come on Finley. Please play well for us here.

[Ice009]

Good shot Ime. Good play Ime.

[tp2021]

Anyone know where Mahinmi is??

Injured.

[Slippy]

Mason a tear. Scoring well off Tim and Tony's play.

[Ice009]

Awesome George Hill.

You're doing a lot better here Pop. Better lineups.

[angelbelow]

Oh Comeon Hill

[Ice009]

Come on George u gotta make those throws.

Good rebounding from Hill.

ALRIGHT GET FINLEY OUT NOW.

[tp2021]

Finley with a travel.:bang

[Anti.Hero]

spam spam spam spam spam

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Farmer should be in instead of Finley!!

[Ice009]

Bowen and Finley. OM GOODNESS Pop. what are doing man?

I just said your lineups were good.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Nice to a player willing to attack the rim to get FT's, IE George Hill!

[completely deck]

Injured.

Yeah, I figured. Do you know for how long?

[SpursFan0728]

Finley should go fuck himself

[Slippy]

Bowen back in the 4th. A first for Bruce this season?

[Ice009]

Come on Fin. Please play well here.

[tp2021]

George Hill with a grown man rebound.

[TDMVPDPOY]

telfair the busts is fouled out hahaha fkn wanker

[Anti.Hero]

IT IS SO NICE having a young athletic player on the Spurs. holy shit. It doesn't feeel right.

[Ice009]

Nice board from Hill.

Great rebounding better than our freaking centers and forwards.

Good stuff George with the assist to TD. I LOVE IT.

[MannyIsGod]

Boxing out = foul

[TDMVPDPOY]

man im surprise miller, jefferson is still on the bench atm

[jrmp317]

My pants got tight after that rebound by Hill

[angelbelow]

hills activity is awesome.

[HarlemHeat37]

how encouraging is it to see our rookie PG jumping up so high and getting a rebound? then battling under the net, even though he got a foul called on him..

[Ice009]

Pop has definitely done one thing right tonight and that is Hill. Two more things and I think he can right this ship.

[angelbelow]

i think weve finally seen the end of vaughn. hopefully hes just an assistant coach now.

[TDMVPDPOY]

even though his shots aint rainin down, hill still goes for the boards

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill doing a good job on the boards

Spurs up 7

[SpursFan0728]

i think weve finally seen the end of vaughn. hopefully hes just an assistant coach now.

cannot fucking agree more

[Reck]

How is this game so close..man The Spurs really are fucked this season.

[SpursFan0728]

How is this game so close..man The Spurs really are fucked this season.

at lease we are not playing at home..

[Duncan2177]

Why does Pop have this crazy obsession to play Finley when he sucks? Weird

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Why does Pop have this crazy obsession to play Finley when he sucks? Weird

It'll be our downfall, book it

[Darkwaters]

i think weve finally seen the end of vaughn. hopefully hes just an assistant coach now.

Any chance that we waive Vaughn and go shopping for somebody (anybody) that can play in the post?

[SpursFan0728]

Finley lost on defense again

[angelbelow]

feeling good

[Ice009]

George Hill helped us get into this bonus siuation by drawing fouls earlier int he quarter. Good to have a player that attacks.

[Anti.Hero]

Mason is fucking up on defensive positioning pretty badly these last few plays.

[Slippy]

Bowen was a good steps behind Miller then on D . too much spacing

[Spurs Brazil]

TP playing great

[Ice009]

Yes Timmy.

[Brazil]

BENCH Finley for the love of god...

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm not discouraged that this game is close..we aren't going to blow anybody out without Manu..but we're on a back to back against a young team, this isn't unusual..

[angelbelow]

Any chance that we waive Vaughn and go shopping for somebody (anybody) that can play in the post?

if vaughn will agree to become an advisor or special coach and stay near our bench i would glady waive him. i still think vaughn is valuable when our pgs get injured or just for tutorial reasons. if he can agree to stay and help coach hill im all for waving him and bring in another player, although we would be thin at the point.

[Brazil]

Mason for the MIP ?

[Brazil]

TP second best rebounder of the team...

[mfanatic]

Once we get Manu back, I'd love to waive Vaughn, we'd have parker, hill, and mason to be our PG, that's more than enough.

[Ice009]

Grab a rebound. Come on Spurs.

[angelbelow]

Mason for the MIP ?

sure why not lol

[HarlemHeat37]

instead of pulling away, we're giving it up..great..

[Ice009]

wow not good here Spurs. FUCK.

[Brazil]

Wtf !!!!!!!!!!

[Manufan909]

Shit, I can't check yahoo anymore, it's 30 seconds faster than my link. BTW, Hill and Mason better average 50 minutes while Manu is out.

[tp2021]

Miller ties it from waaay downtown.
Tony breaks the tie.

[Brazil]

Tp!!!!!!

[TDMVPDPOY]

bruce and finley are going to costs us this game...

[Hank the Tank]

Now if we can only do something about getting Timmy some help

[Slippy]

Nice find by Tony there . Big shot by Mase!

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason!!!!!!!!!!!

Put Ime and take Finley out. He can't play D

[Brazil]

[Biggems]

[tp2021]

Fab just got his shit stuffed.

[Manufan909]

I love Mason. I never thoughtI love a man I wasn't closely related to(besides Manu, obviously), but damn he is the shit. I knew that he needed to take 10+ shots, look what happens.

[Brazil]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yup, Mason is the real deal. Great example of the FO getting it right... for once.

[Brazil]

i don't believ that the spurs let the wolves with > 100 pts...

[Anti.Hero]

Omfg.

[Spurs Brazil]

Rebounds killing us again

If we could get 2 or 3 more this one would be already over

[Amuseddaysleeper]

At least Pop is calling a timeout for the last shot this time

[SpursFan0728]

[ducks]

How The Fuck You Give Up 35 Points In The 4

[Ice009]

Why put Udoka in now Pop?

Fucking Finley. Fuck it give the shot to Michael to redeem himself.
