Balls out. Win #1. :cooldevil

[TDMVPDPOY]

if we cant win against the wolves...might as well tank the season...

[FromWayDowntown]

We're getting this one.

If not, remember that the Mavs started 0-4 in 06-07 and ended up with the best record in a tough Western Conference (before flaming out in Oakland). It can be done (flameouts aside).

Here's hoping you're the lucky charm this season, spurschick.

[DPG21920]

Spurs will be 7-4 after their first 11 games.
Suns - loss
Blazers - loss
Mavs - loss
Wolves - win
Heat - win
Knicks - win
Bucks - win
Rockets - loss
Kings - win
Clippers - win
Nuggets - win

No big surprises, especially with Manu out. I am a little concerned about our defense, but that mostly lies with Bowen. If he can pick it back up, Spurs are good and in good shape after the first 11 games.

[byrdman31]

im ready :downspin:, i expect to see a lot more of hill after yesterdays performance

Don't forget the Rockets last year...3 games under .500 on Dec 23rd. Final regular season record? 55-27.

W baby....

Spurs by 6 !!

[TDMVPDPOY]

if we lose this game? 0-4


BRING BACK THE TITS OR BRAVATARS....

[jack sommerset]

Man this is a tough game to call. Back to Back game on the road and TD played hard the night before plus most of 2nd half. Of course no Mangoo and Bowen did not play in 2nd half (i have no clue if he is injuried). What also worries me, TD made an excuse for poor Defensive play last night. Teams are hitting everything he said. It is the Timberwolves.

[Obstructed_View]

Wolves 101
Spurs 88

I've jinxed the Spurs enough for this season by picking them. I completely forgot what I was doing. In the spirit of Change©, the Spurs are turning over a new leaf.

[Obstructed_View]

Well when a guy makes a pump fake, gets you up in the air and then runs past you to dunk the ball, do you expect him to miss?

[angelbelow]

GO SPURS GO! i have 20 bucks on this game and i always win when i sports bet so its gonna be a victor tonight.

LP still up and running...sweet. I thought the preview was supposed to end yesterday.

[mVp]

Pop play the new guys, for Christ sake, just play the new guys, please...

Spurs will be fucking pissed. 102-80.

[T Park]

Jefferson fallaway jumper at the Buzzer.

Wolves 92
Spurs 91

Pop rips off Bonner's head at halftime.

Literally.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Tpark, why don't you buy out Bonner's contract? That way he gets his money and we get him off the books and have room to acquire someone else that wants to rebound and play d

[turiaf for president]

Wolves are pretty stacked. hopefully spurs come out to play but this ones gonna be good. i say 1-3 point game whoever executes on offense last minute wins

[duncan228]

Spurs will be fucking pissed.

I think so too and Duncan usually plays well when he's mad.

[benefactor]

Minny broadcast...meh.

[byrdman31]

so this is not going to be on tv at all?

[boutons_]

two bottom dwellers, yawn

only interesting if Pop plays the young'uns

[Manufan909]

Minny broadcast...meh.

Minny?

And how fucking lame is it that FSNSW in Houston shows Tracy at a camp but won't show the game??? Hell, they even showed a Spurs preseason game.

That's nothing man. On FSNSW here they had TENNIS RERUNS on during the Spurs/Mavs game. I'm sure glad is was showing on LP because I would have been pissed.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finally Shoening on Audio

Thank God

[mystargtr34]

[Spurs Brazil]

TP
Finley

Bonner

[bigdog]

fucking bonner....seriously? I guess pop wants a better bench....so he has thomas and oberto coming off the bench.

[Fermixalot]

I think the Spurs take this one.

95-87

Tim 24pts & 12reb
Tony 23pts & 6ast
Mason 14pts, 3asts
Hill 10pts, 4rebs, 2asts
Bonner 0pts & 6 fouls

[Obstructed_View]

league pass broadband has it.

[Obstructed_View]

Finley and Bonner starting.

[Obstructed_View]

Bonner's keeping up with miller.

[Jobbs]

the sound for this game is messed up

[Spurs Brazil]

TP scores!

[bigdog]

it's on FSNSW....you guys aren't getting the game? I don't even live in San Antonio. i live in del rio and i'm getting the game.

[duncan228]

the sound for this game is messed up

For me too.

[Manufan909]

Yeah, Huntsville is a little bit farther.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP 6 - M.Miller 5

[angelbelow]

lets fucking do this.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP again!!!

[ace3g]

TP 8 Miller 5

[024]

why is matt bonner starting?

[boutons_]

Tony scoring 1+ pt/min, Spurs 0

[Reck]

If the Spurs lose against Minnesota then they should get disowned.

Cant take much embarrasment anymore.

[Obstructed_View]

why is matt bonner starting?

Who would you prefer?

In a continuation of the "Parker doesn't get anyone involved" thread, let's watch how many assists Parker gets now that he's actually started the game hitting shots.

[024]

Who would you prefer?


oberto. at least he can guard jefferson and let duncan not get in foul trouble.

[Brazil]

Trade TP he is worthless :)

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto and Mason in Bonner and Bruce out

[ashbeeigh]

Has the Minnesota floor always looked that weird? I don't remember it looking like that before this game. It's gross lookin'.

[Spurs Brazil]

Thomas in for TD

[Spur-Addict]

The Andromeda link doesn't seem to have the game, is there an alternate site which I can use?

[Obstructed_View]

oberto. at least he can guard jefferson and let duncan not get in foul trouble.

Oberto coming off the bench allows Duncan to get some rest. Since he played 40 odd minutes last night, that's more important.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason J!!

[mystargtr34]

God damn i love Mason

[Fermixalot]

and a wide open jumper missed by Fin...

11-12, T-Wolves. Timeout

[Obstructed_View]

Great pass by TP, bricked jumper.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs FG-5-16

[mystargtr34]

Get Finley out and put Ime in see if he can hit, fuck me. Mason and Finley both like to operate up top why are they both in the game at the same time????

[Manufan909]

Shit. I should've known who is bricking everything. Put Farmer in!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley is ice cold. Put Farmer in

[benefactor]

Fugly game so far....

[benefactor]

Finley is ice cold. Put Farmer in

[Obstructed_View]

Funny that on LPB, all the other games have good video except this one, which is jumpy.

[boutons_]

Spurs FG% sucks, 36% vs 23%

[Fermixalot]

does anyone else cringe when Tony makes an amazing pass after penetrating only to have Fin/Bonner/Udoka miss a wide open 3?

Its even worse when he leads the break and Bowen is the trailer so he has to pull back since there's no chance in hell that Bowen hits a layup.

Spurs need to step it up a notch on Defense. Miller got in way too easy.

[mystargtr34]

Mike Miller going off on the Spurs, unbelievable.

Can we guard anybody

[Spurs Brazil]

Fabricio from TP

Spurs up 1

[Fermixalot]

And that's why I love Oberto. He always finds himself in the right place to get those easy buckets.

Spurs dominating :lol

Wow, that was ugly.

That first quarter should be nominated for "Worst Quarter of NBA Basketball Ever."

[Spurs Brazil]

TD with 0pts and we're tie.
Not bad

[byrdman31]

That first quarter should be nominated for "Worst Quarter of NBA Basketball Ever."


well i cant even vote for that cuz i still cant get to see the game :bang:bang

[Manufan909]

Nope, we just have to pray to see at least the 2nd, the way this is going.

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime J

Tie at 20

[Darkwaters]

It's nice to hear that Hill is playing.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason!!!!!!

[Spur-Addict]

Police are looking......

[tp2021]

From what I've seen, none of the Spurs' bigs (Timmy included) have been doing too well at rotating defensively.

[Obstructed_View]

Kevin Love, meet your new bitch.

[Manufan909]

What happened?

[boutons_]

FG Spurs 33% vs 40%

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs FG 9 -28

[Darkwaters]

The offensive woes continue.

[Obstructed_View]

What happened?

He's handling Duncan pretty convincingly.

Tim at 0-5

[duncan228]

It's nice to hear a few Spurs fans in the crowd.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck another wolves 3

[duncan228]

Duncan smiles and hits the bank against Love.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD bank!!!

[Brazil]

Td 2 !

[Fermixalot]

Tim with the bank. He needs to get going.

and then he gets scored on...<sigh>

[Obstructed_View]

Please don't yell "and 1" when you don't draw iron, rookie.

[tp2021]

That's what Tim gets for complaining.

[benefactor]

Everybody stands around and just watches Al....this is straight bullshit. Who are these impostors?

[Obstructed_View]

Way to fucking go, Timmy. Whining to the refs and he gets beat down the floor.

[Spurs Brazil]

Wolves up 8

Pop time out

[urunobili]

0-4

[Ice009]

Just got in. Spurs getting worked by the Wolves??

I said not to start Finley and Bonner. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH POP. Make a fucking change.

[Brazil]

TP and Mason 22 pts over 28

[DubMcDub]

0-4 don't mean shit. Mavs went 67-15 after being 0-4. Spurs will be fine.

[Obstructed_View]

0-9
Fixed.

[Ice009]

DO NOT FUCKING START FINLEY AND BONNNER POP.

lol I hope someone from the Spurs is reading these posts ;).

[Spurs Brazil]

Wolves 8-11FG in the 2nd quarter

Defense is gone again

[Manufan909]

Yeah, cuz he listens to you... We all wish Bonner and Finley would stop starting, Pop is just smoking joints before the game. No other reasonable explanation.

[Obstructed_View]

Just got in. Spurs getting worked by the Wolves??

I said not to start Finley and Bonner. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH POP. Make a fucking change.

Starting Finley and Bonner isn't the reason they're getting their asses handed to them.

[Spurs Brazil]

Another open 3 for the Wolves, up 9

[Brazil]

wow -9 !

[Spurs Brazil]

Police are looking......

Fuck again

[Darkwaters]

Starting Finley and Bonner isn't the reason they're getting their asses handed to them.

It's a contributing factor.

[Obstructed_View]

It's a contributing factor.

No, it isn't. Those guys have been on the bench during the time the Spurs have gotten down.

[Manufan909]

Yeah, it's a big fucking factor. The two BEST bigs should start, if Bonner actually qualifies for that, that team sucks.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp 33333333333333333

[Amarelooms]

0-4 don't mean shit. Mavs went 67-15 after being 0-4. Spurs will be fine.

Spurs have no shot of winning 55 games let alone 67.

[Brazil]

Tp !!!!!!!!!

[benefactor]

Tony carrying us right now.

[Obstructed_View]

Was that borderline by Telfair? I missed the replay.

[Manufan909]

If Fin wasn't 0-4, maybe the Spurs would be down 5, not 9.

[Obstructed_View]

If Fin wasn't 0-4, maybe the Spurs would be down 5, not 9.

Tony Parker's on pace for about 50 points.

[Manufan909]

Hey, if we win, we tie for the worst team in the West, YAY!!!!!
:bang

[Brazil]

TP on fire

[td4mvp21]

We need McDyess bad. And people who can hit open shots.

[Obstructed_View]

Was that borderline by Telfair? I missed the replay.

I'm guessing Oberto thought so. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

TP on fire!!!!!!

[Brazil]

come on finley...

[Manufan909]

Tony Parker's on pace for about 50 points.

Only way they'll win.

[tp2021]

Hey, if we win, we tie for the worst team in the West, YAY!!!!!
:bang

This isn't the NFL. 0-4 (or 1-3 for that matter) means dick.

[Ice009]

Starting Finley and Bonner isn't the reason they're getting their asses handed to them.

Let me ask you this. Does being in a hole everytime those two start help?

Does letting the other teams starters lick their chops every time they see Bonner and Finley start help? Does it help when their starters get off to a good start and get themselves in rhythm because those two suck at defense?

Parker is the only one doing anything tonight. Geez that trade Parker thread is a fucking joke, Blazers would have to give up a lot more to listen for trade offers for Parker.

[Obstructed_View]

Only way they'll win.

It's also the only reason they are remotely in the game.

[td4mvp21]

0-4 don't mean shit. Mavs went 67-15 after being 0-4. Spurs will be fine.

Good point but that Mavs team had a bunch of weapons. We have the Big Three plus Mason. Bowen, Udoka, and Fab are giving us nothing right now.

[Chomag]

Try this link guys, its working for me. http://www.andromedanet.com/tvtuner_sop_ps2.html

[Spurs Brazil]

When Thomas will start play?

He do nothing

[Obstructed_View]

Let me ask you this. Does being in a hole everytime those two start help?
The Spurs were up by 2 when they went out, and I think every point the wolves scored was scored by Miller, who Bowen was guarding. Please just stop while you're ahead.

[tp2021]

Terrible call.

[Obstructed_View]

Bowen's getting killed again.

[Brazil]

The worst : finley 0-6

[Manufan909]

Try this link guys, its working for me. http://www.andromedanet.com/tvtuner_sop_ps2.html

Damn, I'm 0 for 3 on links. I get an x in the top-left corner where the list of games are.

[Chomag]

The link seems to be on a pretty big delay but its working lol

[Fermixalot]

That was all ball by Tim. I think its a good sign that Tim got back from stopping the penetration to get the 'block' on Jefferson.

Oh no, its over. Kevin Ollie is in.

Halftime. 49-45, Wolves.

[tp2021]

That's the first time I've seen Finley dunk in a while.

[Obstructed_View]

That's the first tie I've seen Finley dunk in a while.

Now he knows that it will actually go through the hoop.

[benefactor]

That's the first tie I've seen Finley dunk in a while.
You thought the same thing I thought...

[Manufan909]

The Spurs were up by 2 when they went out, and I think every point the wolves scored was scored by Miller, who Bowen was guarding. Please just stop while you're ahead.

You're defending Bonner starting. You should try and take your own advice.

[Spurs Brazil]

Wolves up 4 at the half

[Brazil]

-4, TP with 26 over 45, Finley a disaster, thomas who ?, bruce is lost

[hater]

why they make the same play over and over?????

TP tries to penetrate, either shoots midrange or kick it out. Every single time. FUCK!

[Ice009]

The name is Farmer Pop, not Finley. Do not play that guy called Finley. The name of the person you want to play out there is Farmer.

Farmer may have had at least 6 points if he got to launch 6 shots.

Do you think with the performances that Pop would be open to trading Finley?
Pop should look at trading Finley, Thomas, Bonner and Vaughn. I don't think he needs to show them any loyalty at this point.

[boutons_]

3 Spurs starters didn't score in 1st half.

[SpursFan0728]

Telfair blew by Bowen with his first step..damn

[hater]

what a disgrace of a team

[benefactor]

Finley...player option...fuck me running.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP with 24pts
Let's see if he can get help in the 2nd half

[Ice009]

The Spurs were up by 2 when they went out, and I think every point the wolves scored was scored by Miller, who Bowen was guarding. Please just stop while you're ahead.

What about the previous games? What about the points those two are giving up on the defensive end?

[tp2021]

Do you think with the performances that Pop would be open to trading Finley?
Pop should look at trading Finley, Thomas, Bonner and Vaughn. I don't think he needs to show them any loyalty at this point.

If the guy with the mancrush on Finley figures out how to quit him, what reason does any other team have to want him?

[hater]

FInley and Bonner need to be benched. Please Pop. For the love of God

[Cant_Be_Faded]

All this while Portland is STARTING nicolas batum. . .. . just think, we were one draft spot away from this reality.

[Ice009]

Miami is smashing Philadelphia. We play Miami next :(.

[Obstructed_View]

You're defending Bonner starting. You should try and take your own advice.

What exactly did Bonner do to cause them to be down when they didn't fall behind until after he went out? And why are you defending someone who admitted he isn't watching the game?

[MagnusKrauss]

Go Spurs! :flag:

[Manufan909]

Who wants trash? The best Spurs can hope for is they leave to go on a spiritual journey, or for the sadists, die somehow. Or by New Years, JV, Finley, and Bonner are the permament DNP threesome.

[Ice009]

Wow Amare's got 43 8 and 6 so far tonight.

[bdictjames]

At least we seem to be playing better defense, assuming from stats.

[Manufan909]

What exactly did Bonner do to cause them to be down when they didn't fall behind until after he went out? And why are you defending someone who admitted he isn't watching the game?

Because I agree with him on this particular subject, and I didn't know that, nor do I care. I'm not watching either, but for me I just can't get it.

[Ice009]

What exactly did Bonner do to cause them to be down when they didn't fall behind until after he went out? And why are you defending someone who admitted he isn't watching the game?

I'm mainly talking about the previous 3 games.

I just got in about 3 or 4 minutes into the second quarter so I shouldn't have bagged them for the first quarter tonight.

[hillscountry]

Damn, I'm 0 for 3 on links. I get an x in the top-left corner where the list of games are.

Same thing x in the box, I can't even get nba.com audio to work.....Any other ideas?

[024]

All this while Portland is STARTING nicolas batum. . .. . just think, we were one draft spot away from this reality.

in other news, since chalmers is on my fantasy team, he has 4 pts, 4 assists, and 6 steals :stirpot:

[Obstructed_View]

What about the previous games?
What about them? You came in late, looked at the score and started crowing about how you told everyone that Bonner and Finley shouldn't have started this game, when you were clearly talking out of your ass, and are too fucking stupid to just man up and admit it.


What about the points those two are giving up on the defensive end?
You mean like the 8 points that Bowen gave up to start the game? BTW, the Spurs were down three when Bonner went out. He and Bowen went out at the same time. It was 8-5. How Bonner's responsible for the next 41 points the wolves scored should be an entertaining explanation. Please continue.

[HarlemHeat37]

Bonner isn't playing poorly..he's just a bad player, which everybody knows..shouldn't be starting for an NBA team..he obviously isn't the reason we're losing, but he isn't good enough to start for any team..

our defense isn't really better, we're still allowing a lot of easy shots..Mike Miller had like 3 wide open long jumpers..

we should still win this game though..hopefully Tim can step up..

[Obstructed_View]

Bonner isn't playing poorly..he's just a bad player, which everybody knows..shouldn't be starting for an NBA team..he obviously isn't the reason we're losing, but he isn't good enough to start for any team..

Unless that team has three front line players out, or two out and one coming back and trying to spell Duncan. His defense hasn't been bad, it's mostly the fact that he can't buy a freaking basket. He had some good rebounds and a nice pass yesterday, and his defense wasn't worse than anyone not named George Hill.

[nkdlunch]

Bonner isn't playing poorly..he's just a bad player, which everybody knows..shouldn't be starting for an NBA team..he obviously isn't the reason we're losing, but he isn't good enough to start for any team..



thank you. someone with common sense. same thing goes for Finley at this point in his career

[nkdlunch]

Unless that team has three front line players out.

which 3 frontline players are out?

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason starting the 3rd

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The first time Finley attacks the rim in 3 years......offensive foul

[HarlemHeat37]

Finley might be the worst player in the NBA..I'm honestly not exaggerating..I don't think I've seen him score off the dribble in 2 years..

[Obstructed_View]

thank you. someone with common sense. same thing goes for Finley at this point in his career


Parker is anything but a PG

:lmao

[Obstructed_View]

which 3 frontline players are out?

Mahinmi, Oberto, Tolliver?

[Ice009]

What about them? You came in late, looked at the score and started crowing about how you told everyone that Bonner and Finley shouldn't have started this game.

I am telling everyone they should not start any more games PERIOD. YOU INCLUDED.

The Mavs got off to an insanely hot start last night. WHo was guarding Dirk last night? What was Finley doing last night?

If you want to keep going on about tonight to make some lame point about two players that have been playing poorly all season fine keep doing it. They may have been a bit better tonight, but overall they've still been mediocre at BEST.

[HarlemHeat37]

I know Finley just made a 3, but he just isn't a good basketball player at all..he shouldn't be getting more than 10 minutes(even that's a stretch) on any NBA team..I'm embarrassed to have him on my team at this point, let alone starting..he is the worst passer and defender that starts for a team in the entire NBA..

[koopa]

why the hell do we have so many worthless players on this team?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Get Finley off the floor right now, my god, he makes Bonner look merely terrible.

ugh

[nkdlunch]

Mahinmi, Oberto, Tolliver?

Oberto is out again?


LOL @ Tolliver. He is a 12th man.

[tp2021]

Pop, if you want to guard Love with a small, put Udoka in for Finley.

[Ice009]

lol Finally Finley is benched. unreal.

[HarlemHeat37]

I was actually outraged when we re-signed the guy in the off-season, and this further proves that I was right..he's absolutely useless to us..Farmer is a better option at this point..he can shoot 3's and he can actually MOVE and give an effort..

Duncan is just playing terribly..he was due for a bad game, but this is against arguably the worst defensive frontcourt in the NBA..come on..

[Spurs Brazil]

Is Pop crazy.

WTF with Finley on Love

[benefactor]

Don't even really know what to say at this point...

[Obstructed_View]

I am telling everyone they should not start any more games PERIOD. YOU INCLUDED.

So if Oberto goes out again who's going to cover Amare, Aldridge and Nowitzki to start the game? KT's stinking it up worse than Bonner is, and the only other forward is Fin.

[Ice009]

POP is handicapping us by playing Finley and Bonner. This is not good at all. Down 9 now.

Fucking show some confidence in the young guys.

[nkdlunch]

damn spurs getting ass raped

[kcplayboi_26]

So if Oberto goes out again who's going to cover Amare, Aldridge and Nowitzki to start the game? KT's stinking it up worse than Bonner is, and the only other forward is Fin.

Amare 51??? WAtch espn tonite to see the jeff foster poster, better than kandiman dunk

[Dingle Barry]

It really is amazing how shitty Finley has become.

[Spurs Brazil]

This team show no heart. M.Miller with the off reb and than Wolves score and go up 9

[SpursFan0728]

fuck we are having problems with the WOLVES

[Obstructed_View]

Oberto is out again?
Exactly why do you think Bonner was starting the last three games? Duncan's the starting 5, and Oberto is the backup.


LOL @ Tolliver. He is a 12th man.
Tolliver is a forward, which is the only reason he's even on the roster.

[Ice009]

So if Oberto goes out again who's going to cover Amare, Aldridge and Nowitzki to start the game? KT's stinking it up worse than Bonner is, and the only other forward is Fin.

Start U DO KA like a said yesterday. He's tougher, a better defender and a better rebounder. The way Finley is shooting Ime couldn't be any worse.

UDOKA is the move I would make right now. Finley needs to be 3rd string ASAP.

wow

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley is playing terrible but Pop is the one to blame on that one

WTF he was thinking to put Finley on Love

[HarlemHeat37]

we should absolutely win this game, but it's a back to back against a young team, so naturally we aren't going to blow them out..actually, we aren't going to blow anybody out without Manu, not even OKC..

[tp2021]

Mason forced that shot.

[Ice009]

Amare 51??? WAtch espn tonite to see the jeff foster poster, better than kandiman dunk

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.

Ime with no fouls, and 2-3, has played 6 less minutes than Fin, who is 1-7 with 3 fouls. Any explanations for someone who can't see the game?

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

man..it's scary how consistent Roger is..never misses 2 in a row..

You don't have to see the game to know Pop loves Finley unreasonably.

[Ice009]

That's it. Good stuff Spurs. Good play from Mason, Parker, Duncan.

Do not bring Finley back tonight please Pop.

You never realize how nice a guy that can hit that midrange jumper is until you go a few years without one. :)

[Manufan909]

Mason forced that shot.

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.

[HarlemHeat37]

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..

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice J Mace

Spurs cut to 2

[Obstructed_View]

Okay, the piano music on LPB is starting to get to me.

[Spur-Addict]

amare 51 lol

[tp2021]

Did Tim just get outrebounded by a guard?

[HarlemHeat37]

why double Al Jefferson when Duncan is guarding him? don't leave Miller open..what kind of defense is that?..

I have no idea why Pop will not start Ime.

I was almost begging Pop to start Ime last season when Finley was struggling around January, February. He tried starting almost everyone last season except Ime. I just don't get it. Ime has started in Portland and performed well in that role. Why not give him and the team a shot?

My bad, 2021. And O_V, I was thinking yesterday, how could someone who has 4 trophies, and consistently coached his team to 55 win seasons be so dumb to start out?
