I really have nothing to say after the dissapointing loss against the Rockets. Let's hope the Spurs are rested and ready to play.

Team is everything, believe.

[tp2021]

GO SPURS GO!

What's your W-L now, enigma?

[DPG21920]

Trade Enigma and Bonner, they suck, we lost to the Rockets, WTF

[dougp]

GO SPURS GO!

What's your W-L now, enigma?

I believe it's 7-2 or 8-2

[SequSpur]

Game Blogs, a day early are bad luck and unnecessary.

[DPG21920]

I was just kidding Enigma, Sequ hates you!

[dougp]

Game Blogs, a day early are bad luck and unnecessary.

Only lost on one a day early, and that was the Rockets ... I blame the Spurs for that loss, not the blog ;)

[SequSpur]

Game Blogs used to be started just a few hours before game time. I don't understand why the rush to blog about a got damn regular season game.

We don't force you to open and read the thread - you do it to yourself. Ignore it until the game if you want - but really it's a place for us to talk about the game 24hr before it starts.

[DPG21920]

This game has a ton of match-up problems for us. It will be interesting to see the line-ups

[Borosai]

I have a strong feeling the Spurs might win, but they also might lose. I'm not sure what the outcome will be, but it will be one of those two. I'm almost 100% sure about it.

[Manufan909]

Thankfully "The Answer" is fucking up the team for now, hopefully the real Manu is coming to play tonight, and not still-recovering-not-good-on-b2bs-Manu. And hopefully Hill doesn't get more than 1 or 2 fouls called in the first, so he can get a rythm(anyone else notice that word looks wrong even when it's spelled correctly?) and chemistry with Manu going.

thanks, i thought it looked funny. Stupid silent hs.:bang

[xellos88330]

Go Spurs Go!!!

[timtonymanu]

Hill vs Stuckey. enough said.

Pistons have a deep bench compared to us. Hopefully Bonner, Hill, and Ginobili can do well off the bench.

i wont be able to catch the game but

GO SPURS GO!!!

You are such a whiny little bitch. :lol

[jochhejaam]

...the Spurs might win, but they also might lose.
Okay, but do you realize how silly you'll look if you're wrong?





The Piston's have looked quite good in stopping Laker and Cav winning streaks, and quite bad in a blowout loss to Minnesota. We're a mixed bag right now, not sure what to expect from game to game (which isn't a good thing).

Really looking' forward to this one, it will be interesting.

Good Luck :toast

[urunobili]

GO SPURS GO!

What's your W-L now, enigma?

it's 8-2 actually... we will see how tonight's game pans out... :toast it's gonna be interesting to watch Pop's line ups against the deep Pistons roster... :downspin:

[gingerwave]

Let's go Spurs!!!

[bdubya]

it's gonna be interesting to watch Pop's line ups against the deep Pistons roster... :downspin:


With Curry trying to deploy the bench mob effectively, this one could come down to a coaching duel.

Or it could come down to which team can shoot over 40%.

[Kriz-Maxima]

this one could come down to a coaching duel.



God, I hope not. Did you see that lineup with Amir at center and Herrmann at PF?

Anyways, this is a win I would like, it gets followed by a very winable couple of games and if the Pistons could get a little win streak to get them feeling good it would be great.

Tony defended well Iverson in the playoffs; with hill and tony on him, iverson will have a poor game.

From what ive heard Iverson has been shooting poorly as of late. And we all know how a shooter gets out of a slump....KEEP SHOOTING.

Don't know what will happen tonight. I don't think we ever had this depth before. It can make or break.

I am hoping to see a good game... Love to see a Piston win here...

Good Luck Spurs fans....

*waiting for that idiot spursdynasty to jinx the team again.

[Manufan909]

So will there be a vBookie for this game?

[bdictjames]

Cant wait to see a rivalry renewed. Hope this is a good game.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I don't know what to expect from my Pistons tonight. We've not been a very good team since the trade. No chemistry cohesion or consistency. We look lost.

Hopefully they step it up tonight against the Spurs. The talent's there, it's just a matter of the pieces fitting together properly (which may not happen).

I'm looking for big nights from Stuckey and Tayshaun.

[SpursDynasty]

Easy W for the Spurs. Should be just another day at the office...

Good energy trumps all jinx.

Believe.

[mystargtr34]

Spursdynasty is the biggest Lakers homer on the board.

Pistons will win tonight

[barbacoataco]

Pistons without Billups are not the same team. He was their leader and now he's gone. Stuckey has been playing well. If the Spurs can stay close they have a good chance since the Pistons have a hard time finishing games without Billups.

I like the Spurs chances, but the Pistons are still a good team.

Side point-- If the Billups/Iverson trade made Detroit worse and Denver better, which is pretty obvious, doesn't that make Billups>Iverson. Two guys who play the same position, switch them out and leave the rest the same--- how could you ever have a better comparison?

[greens]

Anyone know if they'll show this game on ESPN, TNT, FSN, or any other national sports channel?

I've only spotted local coverage.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Spurs lineup change

Leave it to Gregg Popovich to stir up his starting lineup for the Pistons. The Spurs are starting Manu Ginobili at shooting guard, sending Roger Mason to the bench.

Michael Curry figured Popovich was up to something. Allen Iverson has a history of big games against the Spurs, so Curry thought Bruce Bowen would start at shooting guard. He knew Pop wouldn't leave Mason out there against Iverson. Bowen is still coming off the bench, which will leave Michael Finley on Tayshaun Prince.

Rip Hamilton and Tony Parker will match-up, I am guessing. That will leave Ginobili and Iverson to guard each other and that might be fun. Neither guy can guard the other.

[duncan228]

Mike Monroe: Manu starts vs. Pistons (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/courtside/archives/2008/12/mike_monroe_man_2.html)

The emergence of Roger Mason Jr. as a legitimate scoring threat has returned Manu Ginobili to the Spurs' starting lineup.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said he wants Ginobili to start the game with the other members of the Spurs Big Three, Tony Parker and Tim Duncan.

In fact, Popovich promised that Ginobili, the NBA's reigning Sixth Man Award winner, will be a starter "in perpetuity."

"It is time for Manu to be on the court when the game starts," Popovich said before tipoff of the Spurs' game against the Pistons at AT&T Center Tuesday night. "This is the way I'd like to do it in perpetuity."

Popovich expects to get the same scoring spark off the bench from Mason that he had come to expect from Ginobili. Mason is second in the NBA in 3-point field goal percentage, at 52.4 percent, and is averaging 14.8 points per game.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I beat you!:lol

[duncan228]

I beat you!:lol

:lol

[timvp]

I liked TP starting next to Mason. I thought that combination worked well together, as would Hill and Ginobili. I guess either Ginobili finally tired of the bench role or Pop thinks Mason and Hill can combine to have a Manu-like contribution off the bench.

So far I give the move a :td ... but we'll see how it works out.

[barbacoataco]

Iverson is known for big games vs. Spurs? All I remember is AI shooting 35% and making excuses. Maybe some meaningless regular season games, but someone will have to refresh my memory.

Iverson is the most overrated player in the NBA (after Nash) and now it is obvious. Denver with Billups is suddenly a good team. How did that happen?

[barbacoataco]

I like this move. It keeps the veterans on the court together and gives Mason and Hill a chance to develop chemistry as the 2nd unit. In the end the starting lineups don't matter that much. It is the 5 who finish the game that is important.
How about-
Duncan
Bowen
Mason
Ginobili
Parker

switch Mason for Thomas/Oberto if the other team has 2 effective bigs on the court. Wait, that's the team we've had since 2007--

[duncan228]

Gameday: Spurs vs. Pistons (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/spursworld/2008/12/gameday_spurs_vs_pistons_1.html)

LINEUP AND ROSTER

Young Spurs big man Ian Mahinmi has rejoined the team in San Antonio after a two-week stint with the Austin Toros of the NBA Developmental League. Mahinmi played part of last season with the Spurs and most of the season with the Toros. His start to this season took a detour when was injured over the summer.

PREGAME

It seems like a long time since the Spurs and Detroit Pistons met in the 2005 NBA Finals. Several recognizable faces from that series are still with the teams as they meet tonight at the AT&T Center.

The Spurs still have the Big Three of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. Duncan has started all 16 games this season for the Spurs and averages 20.8 points and 10 rebounds.

Manu Ginobili missed the first 12 games of the season after having ankle injury and Tony Parker missed nine games after suffering an ankle sprain in November. Parker is averaging a team-high 23.9 points and 6.1 assists. Ginobili is averaging 13.0 points in his four games back - a number that is sure to go up as he gets into shape.

The Spurs Roger Mason Jr. and rookie George Hill have yet to wear a Silver and Black uniform in the playoffs. Mason, who signed with the Spurs as a free agent, is averaging 14.8 points and 2.8 assists and has started 12 games. Hill averages 11.1 points and 3.3 assists and has started six games.

Old standbies for the Pistons include Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince, who combine for 30.9 points per game.

This will be the first time Allen Iverson has played in San Antonio since being traded to the Pistons. He has played 15 games for Detroit and averages 17.6 points and 5.3 assists.

Another familiar face at the AT&T Center tonight is Pistons assistant coach Dave Cowens, a former Spurs assistant under Bob Hill. Cowens was visiting with several members of the Spurs game-day staff and members of the media before the game. When he was here, we used to enjoy his stories from when he played on some of the legendary Boston Celtics teams.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Good luck Spurs please don't kill us. Were playing like crap.:depressed

[HarlemHeat37]

Rasheed is the best Duncan-defender I've ever seen, so I don't see Tim having a big game..it'll be up to the others to step up tonight, but more importantly, our defense needs to get better..we've had no defensive chemistry yet with TP and Manu in the lineup..

I don't like how we're matching up with Prince..

[duncan228]

Pistons call on LP.

[duncan228]

Rasheed is the best Duncan-defender I've ever seen, so I don't see Tim having a big game...

Rasheed does give Duncan fits. One of the best on him.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Spurs 101
Pistons 86

[mystargtr34]

yahoo.com has Bonner starting?

[Spurs1234]

duncan228, who did you get on LP for the call last game vs. HOU? I watched the game online and got the HOU feed, but went back to my home in DC and recorded the SA feed....i thought i saw on ST people saying it was the HOU feed, which made sense to me since the LP broadband had that call

[Jobbs]

Pistons call on LP.

Yeah I can't even get the online feed on LP broadband. It has "technical difficulties". Looks like I'm stuck with these Piston guys

[Jobbs]

Manu starting o_O

[Manu20]

Pistons call on LP.

Not on LP Broadband.:toast

[Jobbs]

Not on LP Broadband.:toast

It's working for you? WTF

[Spurs1234]

interesting, perhaps broadband is always the opposite of the tv call, kind of fair i guess...rather have tv though

[Trainwreck2100]

matt bonner is he starter?

[Yorae]

Pistons LP working. Do the Spurs LP ever work?

[Jobbs]

wooo LPBB feed works!

[hoopdreams11]

I hope Rasheed doesn't kill Matt on the block

[Anti.Hero]

Bonner dunk on Sheeeeeeeeed

[Pistons < Spurs]

I'm looking forward to seeing Afflalo guard Manu at some point tonight. Should be a fun matchup.


Parker's in for a bigggggg night.

[mystargtr34]

Bonner starting alright :lol Lets do it.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I hate Bonners release on his shot.

[HarlemHeat37]

I hate when Tim takes contested jumpers..he gives a pump fake and the defender doesn't bite, but he still takes the shot..

our defense still looks horrible..

[Jobbs]

Manu isn't fast enough to guard Rip

[duncan228]

duncan228, who did you get on LP for the call last game vs. HOU? I watched the game online and got the HOU feed, but went back to my home in DC and recorded the SA feed....i thought i saw on ST people saying it was the HOU feed, which made sense to me since the LP broadband had that call

I had Spurs call for the Rockets game.

[mystargtr34]

I would have prefered Oberto to start with Manu since hes much more productive wwhen hes on the court with him, but what the hell - Oberto sux.

[Jobbs]

Tony taking it to AI

[HarlemHeat37]

Parker should dominate Iverson all night..hopefully he can play some D though..his rotations have been off and he hasn't been able to work with the pick and roll lately..

[Pistons < Spurs]

Tay!!!!!

[Hank the Tank]

Wow Bonner shoots a lot of 3s.

[HarlemHeat37]

horrible transition D..

we can't make any 3's..this is why we have decent depth this year though..take Finley out and bring on Roger, and take Bonner out for whoever..

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

anybody know a link?

[mystargtr34]

Watching Bonner and Kwame go at it is like watching the guys at my rec center who get brought down by their mates at work because theyre tall.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Tay is doing a nice job playing the point forward position and getting it to Rip so far. Much better than when AI tries to feed him.

[Trainwreck2100]

i know what white boy is getting yelled at in the huddle right now

[PuttPutt]

Wow Bonner shoots a lot of 3s.

But he doesn't make that many.

[Yorae]

Yeah and missing them. Will Spurs LP ever worked??? I don't like hearing the other team's commentators....

[benefactor]

Offense is flowing well early on. I like going with the starters and then bringing Hill and Mason in together off the bench.

[Ballin Boy]

hmmmm a.i is driving me nuts man

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner missing early

Bowen on hamilton would be nice now

[Manufan909]

Come on Bonner, don't pull an Ime.

[benefactor]

i know what white boy is getting yelled at in the huddle right now
Yup...I guess there is no pressure on him to score now that Tolliver is no longer breathing down his neck.

[Jobbs]

Bonner!

[Manufan909]

But he doesn't make that many.

Yeah, only over half of them.

[PuttPutt]

Hey Bonner made a shot!

[benefactor]

I stand corrected...:)

Td!!!!!

[benefactor]

Duncan looking MUCH better early on.

[angelbelow]

i wonder if ian will play tonight..

[angelbelow]

bonners been agressive, thats good.

[PuttPutt]

Damn TOny got smacked hard

[HarlemHeat37]

Kwame Brown is a solid defender, but he might actually be the worst offensive player in the NBA, maybe NBA history..a #1 pick..

[Anti.Hero]

Tony Parker could easily be leading scorer in the league but he wouldn't last an entire regular season with his playing style.

[mystargtr34]

Come on, Oberto comes in when Manu goes out. The only way Oberto can do anything of substance on the court is when Manu is out there with him. Hes a different player. If Manu starts, Oberto should start.

[Fermixalot]

my heart skipped a few beats when tony held his hand there...

damn kwame. taking out his suckiness on tony.

[Ballin Boy]

Kwame Brown is a solid defender, but he might actually be the worst offensive player in the NBA, maybe NBA history..a #1 pick..

naw hes gotta be better than ben wallace

[Pistons < Spurs]

get a damn rebound..... jeez

[Hank the Tank]

ugh...rebounds rebounds

[HarlemHeat37]

does Parker know how to contest a shot? he doesn't even put a hand up and gives the guy he's defending way too much room..it's like he doesn't realize he's one of the quickest players in the NBA and can easily recover once he's beat..

it's not just against Iverson, he does this all the time..

[mystargtr34]

you would already be drunk

The outcome of the game hinges on whoever fucks up less between Kwame and Bonner

[HarlemHeat37]

naw hes gotta be better than ben wallace

Ben Wallace knew how to dunk at least..

[Spurs Brazil]

TD drom TP after 2 off rebs!!!

[EvaLongoria]

[Ballin Boy]

lol i hope kwame gets in foul trouble soon. God we need mcdyess

[Ballin Boy]

Ben Wallace knew how to dunk at least..

lol he missed alot of dunks to though. Problem with both of them was they both have tiny hands

[Spurs Brazil]

We need to run some plays for Mason.

He didn't touch the ball since he's in the game

[mystargtr34]

Why isnt Amir in with Sheed, neither Bonner, Oberto, Thomas are offensive threats in the post.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Stuckey time!!!!!!

[Jobbs]

Kwame Brown is a solid defender, but he might actually be the worst offensive player in the NBA, maybe NBA history..a #1 pick..

Pistons drafted Darko #2
Their scouting department is full of fail.

[Manufan909]

no link!!!:bang

You need to edit that post and delete it quick.

[mystargtr34]

I actually forgot about Mcdyess, i thought to myself this Pistons team is missing something.

Damn it would have been nice to get him.

[angelbelow]

mase!

[benefactor]

i wonder if ian will play tonight..
No...he is out and will be out for an undetermined amount of time.

[Spurs Brazil]

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 22-17 after one

[Pistons < Spurs]

Hill time!!!

:toast that one will be fun to watch

Yeah, I haven't seen much of Hill yet so I'm looking forward to them mixing it up a bit.

[Manufan909]

Less Duncan, even though according to nba.com is 3-6 without stepping on the court.

[Charles Sappa]

Manufan909 check:

Manufan909 check www.rojadirecta.com

Dude, I meant EvaLongoria shouldn't put any links up, kori would be the one to get reamed not us.

[Ballin Boy]

afflalo is in thats usualy a positive

[mystargtr34]

So Duncan played all 12, im guessing hes out till the 6 minute mark, and Manu will play till about then with most of the second unit.

Hill
Manu
Bowen
Bonner
Oberto

gulp

[duncan228]

Please stop with the links.


Tonight, the game blog was just full of people asking for links to online broadcasts of the game. Plus, there were three other threads started about it.

Let me make this clear, if I haven't the first zillion times I've said it, you can't ask for game links, post game links or ask people to PM you game links here at SpursTalk. These are illegal broadcasts of the copyrighted NBA broadcast. We can't have them here. The league has asked us not to do so.

I'm not sure how much clearer I can make it. If the same people keep doing it, after being asked to stop repeatedly, then I can only conclude that they don't want to post at SpursTalk anymore. And their wish will be granted.

Thanks,

Kori

And looking good. :)

[Spurs Brazil]

TD again!

[anjlbitz]

crazy Timmy with the fadeaway J

[mystargtr34]

Looks like Curry is going to leave Sheed out there as long as Timmy is there.

Probly vice versa given the state of our bigs.

[milkyway21]

Duncan is HOT!

that was a questionable foul

[mystargtr34]

Georgie needs to be aggressive now with Duncan out.

Is in for a field day with Oberto on him.

[Charles Sappa]

Sorry for the links.... go spurs

[alchemist]

Mason will eventually lose confidence in his shot if they keep going away from him.

[HarlemHeat37]

not enough ball movement from our offense in this quarter..let's get some screens and some penetrating/dishing going..

this is no longer a lineup of Manu and a bunch of scrubs..he has Mason and Hill with him now, so we can no longer have too many Manu isolation plays..need more ball movement and keep Roger involved..

[Manufan909]

And Ian is on the IR. Crap.

[mystargtr34]

I dont like the idea of bringing him off the bench now, he was hot as a starter, 53% from 3.

I like Mason/TP and Hill/Manu together.

[angelbelow]

this is an adjustment game, and we'll need a couple of these before minutes and roles are redefined.

[kace]

not enough ball movement from our offense in this quarter..let's get some screens and some penetrating/dishing going..

our offense isn't very good when tony's out. it's obvious.

Stuckey is sweet.

Good job Hill

[angelbelow]

nice recovery by hill

[Jobbs]

bench Mason!

[HarlemHeat37]

ALL of their points are coming from transition..nobody is coming back defensively and we can't make anything offensively..

bring Tim and Tony back on..we need some aggressiveness..

We better keep this hill guy....he is going to be a great player

[anjlbitz]

Wow Oberto sucks

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF with Oberto

[HarlemHeat37]

Pistons just much, much more aggressive than we are..all their points coming at the basket, they're pressuring on D..

Duncan is the only one doing anything..

[mystargtr34]

Id take Jerome James over Oberto

[hoopdreams11]

Please take Fab out

[SuperManu!!!]

Come on oberto!!!! Move your legs!

[Charles Sappa]

Oberto too slow

[Manufan909]

Try KT and Bonner, Fab isn't cutting it at all.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Keep Iverson on the bench. There's so much more chemistry and fluidity to our offense when Stuckey is in instead.

[Kobulingam]

Oberto has aged 10 years since 2006/7 playoffs.

[bdubya]

This "small" lineup shows promise.

[benefactor]

Please take Fab out
And put in who? Ian? Oh yeah...he is fucking hurt...and we are still using a roster spot on Ahearn.

This is just bullshit.

wtf offense is strugglin and defense is horrible

[Manufan909]

Any good reasons for Fab playing, at all?

Pathetic play the last 5 minutes from the Spurs.

Kurt Thomas has been solid lately, I don't know why he isn't in the game..Oberto isn't cutting it..

Let me make this clear, if I haven't the first zillion times I've said it, you can't ask for game links, post game links or ask people to PM you game links here at SpursTalk. These are illegal broadcasts of the copyrighted NBA broadcast. We can't have them here. The league has asked us not to do so.

I'm not sure how much clearer I can make it. If the same people keep doing it, after being asked to stop repeatedly, then I can only conclude that they don't want to post at SpursTalk anymore. And their wish will be granted.

Thanks,

Kori

ughh. why is Duncan doing everything??? :D

[alchemist]

seems like Pop/Tony/Manu forgot that Hill/Mason actually kept the Spurs afloat while they where gone, they're regressing to playing like last year when they actually didn't have any options outside of Manu/Tony/21

[Jobbs]

instant offense

[Ballin Boy]

iverson back in now we fall behind guranteed

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuu from Finley

[mystargtr34]

Fab gets paid 3 million to set 5 good picks a game, get one rebound and make one nice pass a game.

Honest to god i think i could take Oberto in a game of 21

it's false. do you watch the game ??

Mason had a lot the ball in his hands. Hill too even if less. they were bad, that's all and it can happen.

Tony has a lot of attention on him from the pistons defense and he obviously gives the ball a lot. maybe too much. let him, manu and him run the offense a little more right now.
