Game Preview: http://www.nba.com/games/20081128/MEMSAS/preview.html

Having won 6 of their past 7 games, and being on a 3 game win streak - the Spurs are looking to make it 4 in a row tomorrow night (Sorry, had a Madden moment.) With the potential return of Tony Parker, things are looking up for the Spurs after one of their most disappointing starts in the Duncan era. The Gay-Mayo combination are looking to revenge their loss from earlier this week when Ginobili made his season debut.

Team is everything, believe.

[wijayas]

You are early this time, enigma.
Go Spurs!!!

[Dex]

Gotta keep ahead of those punkhead trolls. :tu

[timtonymanu]

looking forward to see how Hill does again.

[m33p0]

if ime doesn't go out and perform he's gonna be in the doghouse and he's gonna be there for a long, long time given how deep and versatile the backcourt is. hill and mason playing very well has put pressure on ime. he just needs to relax and let the game come to him instead of pressing it.

:flag: :flag: :flag:

i'm predicting a big game from bonner! 20pts 8rbds and a block! go red rocket!

[mystargtr34]

looking forward to see how Hill does again.

Hes the guy i most look forward to seeing play each game now.

Hopefully he can start to hit some shots just to get his confidence back - i think those two threes in the Chicago game will do him real good so i think Pop might throw him out there again.

Once everyone is healthy though, its gonna be tough for him to get any playing time consistently.

[szumi]

I don't expect another big game for george. He's a rookie so we have to expect that he will take some nights off and it's by fare better that he will do it against the bears than vs. our texas twin. I expect a fairly easy win having on mind how we playing recently. I want to see another game from darko as I consider him as a quality player who just cant find the right enviorment for himself to develop. He's a bit nutcase but a really fearless one.

[urunobili]

Looking forward to see how Mason rebounds from his last cold game...

[xtremesteven33]

Duncan will have a monster game!

[mrspurs]

No reason why we shouldnt beat yet another week team. enigma musta felt out of place by such an early post. poor thing.

Why would he? Nothing like caring what "e-people" think.

[Anti.Hero]

Hill. 30 12 15.

[sonic21]

Duncan had a bad game offensively Monday,
he will own Gasol and Darko.

Tony 8pts 5 assists in 12 min.

[mVp]

4 in a row baby... let's keep this winning streak alive.

[Joe Schmoogins]

Hill vs. Mayo round three... despite being outscored by Mayo, I'd say Hill is 2-0 at the moment, due to the fact that Mayo got his 5 extra points and one extra board in 15 extra minutes.

Hill vs. Mayo: 2-0

Hill vs. Rose: 1-0

[Reck]

Should be another blowout game. Hopefully, fingers cross.

Now that we have our full elite team we will be tough, again...hopefully.

[Anti.Hero]

Hill is a foul machine! 2min 2 fouls....back to the bench for the rest of the quarter.

That last one on Mayo was b.s.

Mason is a foul machine imo. Particularly during times when the #1 goal is not to foul.

[Spurs Brazil]

Grizzlies audio link works guys. FUCK DAVID STERN. he's trying to screw all of us Spurs fans over. Spurs feed never works ;).

It's better than nothing

[Ice009]

Maybe Stern made the call. Probably told the refs this Hill kid is doing too good. Start calling fouls on him ;).

Did you sign up for it Ruff?

I was thinking of getting it, but it's new and read that it had a lot of problems initially.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[timtonymanu]

Manu layup!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[timtonymanu]

Ginobili!

[ILoveOranges]

Did you sign up for it Ruff?

I was thinking of getting it, but it's new and read that it had a lot of problems initially.

Doesn't sound worth it when you add in the 199 price tag

[ILoveOranges]

Yeah Ginobili!

[Penya]

Wow, manu!!

[Interrohater]

hint: /kostaz007
sigh... thanks... I feel whole again... complete, you know?

[outmap]

Top 10 play by Manu!

[Capt Bringdown]

What's with the wrap on Hill's hand?

[#2!]

i like that the spurs are running more plays that involve guys cutting to the basket. I mean we used to do it with pick and rolls for tim, but now tony, manu, fab, and mason are all cutting to the basket and getting us easy points.


Oh, and is there anyone left that still wants Darrell Aurthur?

[caribbean_spur]

Finally found a link for the game. If anyone is interested

[zepn]

You guys are most welcome. Enjoy.

[Manufan909]

Tolliver doing ok.

[timtonymanu]

What's with the wrap on Hill's hand?

he's always had that.

[ILoveOranges]

Wow Hill's arms are freakishly long :O

[Spurs Brazil]

Tolliver!!!

[timtonymanu]

Tolliver layup!

[Borosai]

At-at!

[ILoveOranges]

Conley & GHill are both members of the Indiana Magnificent 7 besides Oden, right?

Yep "Carney remembers playing Hill : "This little kid comes in hitting all kinds of 3s, and I was like, 'Who is this little dude?...I knew he was going to be something when I saw this little skinny kid handling the ball and shooting like that."

From Wikipedia :D

[mVp]

Ten point lead at the half.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 46-36 at the half

[loveforthegame]

Good to see Finley shooting better than he has in the last 2 games. Also has 4 rebounds behind Duncan's 8.

How's his defense?

[ILoveOranges]

Finley's defense has been surprisingly quite a bit better, most likely due to the weight lost during the summer.

[Reck]

That Rick Redner guy or however his name is looks like a used sponged. lol

[Spurologist]

Wade is owning the heat. 36 pts mid 3rd quarter.

:lol Raja Bell = Wade's bitch

[Spurologist]

:lol HEB commercial.

TD: "Bruce...seriously"

[milkyway21]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fucking league pass! When it's not buffering, it's crashing either firefox or IE. What a bunch of fucking crap.

[benefactor]

Good looking first half. We are well on our way to getting back to where we all knew this team could be. I'll tell you one thing...any poster that says Parker needs to be traded because his value is high right now should be banned from here and never be allowed back. Tony is the life blood of this team. Everything runs so incredibly smooth when he is in control.

Its nice to see Tolliver contribute also...going to the rim on the offensive end and taking charges on the defensive. Hopefully we continue to see him and Bonner play well as they try to one up each other. Having that front court depth is critical.

[SpurAddict561]

Wade is owning the heat. 36 pts mid 3rd quarter.

Hubie>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Cheryl's brother>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>the other one.

I like Hubie somewhat.
Miller is an annoying pissant.
Jackson is a complete retard. I don't like one thing about him. Except when JVG makes him look like an asshat.

Bill Walton FTW!

Just from the few minutes he was in, Tony's impact was clearly enormous. I didn't really see the argument for trading him beforehand, when all the backup we had there was... like... Vaughn, but now that we have Hill, a star big would make a starting five along with Hill, Mason, Ginobili, and Duncan near unstoppable. But, Tony's been here all these years. And it just doesn't make sense to trade someone who's been such a large part of so many championship runs, and pretty much won the 2007 finals against the Cavs by himself.
