Gameday: Spurs vs. Timberwolves (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/spursworld/2008/12/gameday-spurs-vs-timberwolves-1.html)
By Joe Alexander

The Spurs haven't had much time to catch their breath heading into tonight's road meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Tonight's game isn't the second game of a back-to-back for the Spurs, but it's close. It's their third game in three cities in four days.

The Spurs prevailed in double overtime against the Mavericks in Dallas on Tuesday and won a close game against the Hawks at the AT&T Center on Wednesday. On Monday and Thursday - the Spurs' last two days off - they were on planes.

The Spurs' first victory of the season came at the expense of the Timberwolves at the AT&T Center on Nov. 5. The Spurs dropped their first three games, then went two overtimes to beat the Timberwolves 129-125. Tony Parker had 55 points, Tim Duncan had 30 and Roger Mason had 26.

The Spurs and Timberwolves meet twice in 12 days. They play again on Dec. 23 at the AT&T Center.

The Spurs have won their last four games and a victory tonight would give them their longest win streak of the season.

The Timberwolves are a mess. They have lost their last seven games - the last two under new head coach Kevin McHale.

Here is the latest on the Timberwolves:

Brian Stensaas, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Kevin McHale is a planner. In 13 Hall of Fame seasons with Boston, McHale chalked up his success to always being ready for what the opposition had in mind for stopping him. He applies that same level of preparedness to his new duties as Timberwolves coach.
http://www.startribune.com/sports/wolves/36019984.html?


Don Seeholzer, St. Paul Pioneer Press
After a four-game absence that felt much longer, Mike Miller will finally return to the Timberwolves' starting lineup tonight against San Antonio.

It's quite a trap game. Wolves aren't that bad and should be motivated wiht their new coach. Spurs will need to match their level of intensity to win this one.

[duncan228]

LITTLE FAME AS COACHES (http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/dec/11/tomasson-gervin-thompson-recall-high-scoring/)

Hall of Fame players have made little impact lately as NBA coaches. When Minnesota tabbed Kevin McHale this week, he became the NBA's only active coach to have been a Hall of Fame player.

The only active one last season was the since fired Isiah Thomas. There's little need to remind anyone Thomas' Knicks didn't exactly dominate.

No Hall of Fame player has won a title as a coach since Boston's K.C. Jones in 1986. Since then, the only Hall of Fame players to have lasted even a full season on the bench have been Larry Bird, Dave Cowens, Dan Issel, Jones, Willis Reed, Thomas, Wes Unseld and Lenny Wilkens.

Come back in April 2010 to see if McHale can at least make it through a full campaign.

[timvp]

It's quite a trap game. Wolves aren't that bad and should be motivated wiht their new coach. Spurs will need to match their level of intensity to win this one.Yeah this game is very loseable. Minnesota has played well against the Spurs at home lately. Add to that the added enthusiasm for McHale and the fact that the Spurs are probably going to still be a bit tired from that last back-to-back and I don't have the best of feelings about this one. Hopefully I'm dead wrong.

:hat

[Bender]

I hope to see limited minutes for the big 3, like others already said they'll still be tired. Be nice if Mason/Hill can carry us for a good chunk of the game.

[Reck]

[dougp]

You have to be JOKING, fuckin Minnesota broadcast!!!! ARGH FUCK YOU LP!

[duncan228]

Wolves call on LP. It ridiculous already. I don't remember a season this bad for Spurs call, and I've had LP forever.

[exstatic]

WTH??? Did anyone see McHale clapping pre-game? He's got that retarded "Duncan clap". :lol

[tp2021]

OH SH*T!
I thought it was a 7:30 game time.

[duncan228]

Little piece on Love playing Duncan. Love wrote a nice piece after the last game, he respects Duncan a lot, said it was really cool playing against a guy he grew up admiring.

[duncan228]

WTH??? Did anyone see McHale clapping pre-game? He's got that retarded "Duncan clap". :lol

:lol

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Bonner is boss now.

[dougp]

Red Rocket with the next two.

[dougp]

Al stripped Duncan and put back for a foul.

DO NOT ASK FOR THE FUCKIN GAME LINK. Hope Kori bans you.

[duncan228]

ST FAQ's, stickied at the top of the forum. Kori means it in case anyone has missed the conversation.


11. Game Links - Don't ask for links to online broadcasts for the games, and don't post such links. These sites are breaking copyright laws by broadcasting them.

[EvaLongoria]

For the love of God, someone put game link for us, PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!

[dougp]

Mason with a turnover trying to drive.

[timtonymanu]

here is the link finally, just press ALT F4

[tp2021]

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.

[timtonymanu]

EvaLongoria, just use yahoosports. i cant see the game either but i dont wanna fuck up Spurstalk.

[tp2021]

here is the link finally, just press ALT F4

Don't assume we will make the same mistakes you will.

[dougp]

lol. i thought u would use the rickroll

No, but I almost linked 2girls1cup, goatse or tubgirl. But Kori would ban me for that instead of what I posted ;)

[Yorae]

F*ck no LPs? Not even one? Sheesh...

[duncan228]

Can we be done with it please.

[loveforthegame]

I know Finley is the last option but it might do some good to get him some shots tonight.

[tp2021]

When Tony learns how to finish again, Matt will go cold. I can just see it.

[dougp]

Duncan with a nice block, but it was recovered by the T-Wolves and they scored. T-Wolves are playing better defensively than the Spurs.

13-9, Min right now.

[duncan228]

Damn. That almost went.

[timtonymanu]

fuck the turnovers.

[dougp]

Why is a Minnesota arena playing Dropkick Murphies - Heading Up to Boston? Weird ...

[timtonymanu]

Wow horrible start

[dougp]

Mike Miller looks like Dave Grohl in drag ...

Bowen with his hip foul.

[dougp]

Manu just broke the Minnesota run - 15-11 now.

[tp2021]

Manu, like butta.

[loveforthegame]

4 turnovers and the big 3 are 1-8. Not good.

[Yorae]

No LPs, clankfest...wow what fine game....

[Jobbs]

T Wolves feed is boring

Seriously
I'm like about to doze off from the pbp

[timtonymanu]

Go Hill!

[urunobili]

We are hunging around.. it's coming... they took us to 2OT last time...

[tp2021]

That was beautiful ball movement.

[timtonymanu]

WOO HOO! Kurt Thomas brought us back!

[Yorae]

The new twin tower!!!

[loveforthegame]

Nice to see Oberto (2 assists, 2 blocks) and Thomas (4 points, 3 rebounds, 1 block) contribute with Duncan struggling a little.

[timtonymanu]

We just ended the 1st and we already played 10 of our guys.

[Reck]

The new twin tower!!!

Ummm NOT!

[Yorae]

Oh I mean audio pass by LP...No audio pass...

[timtonymanu]

Hill 3!

[Yorae]

Hilldog....

[mystargtr34]

Who threw their shot into Oberto's hand, how the fuck does he have two blocks in a quarter.


DAAMN George i wish that lay up went in.

[milkyway21]

he can do 3s, last game he showed us white men can jump,
tonight it's about this Bonner or what they call the RED ROCKET learn how block a shot..

[timtonymanu]

if these guys can frickin make their layups, this wouldnt be so bad.

[Reck]

How many layups are this fools gonna miss?

[timtonymanu]

Ginobili 3!

[Reck]

Tony is becoming a late bloomer as of late.

Stop showing up so late in the game.

[SpursPreacher]

This game has a feel like its in atlanta dead crowd everything,its easy to get lulled to sleep.

[wildbill2u]

anyone know of an internet radio connection I can latch on to?

[timtonymanu]

there ya go, timmy!

[timtonymanu]

Finley J!

[mystargtr34]

TP needs to wake up.

Mase 3

[timtonymanu]

Mason 3! to Duncan slam dunk.

[Jobbs]

Bonner!

[tp2021]

Tragic Johnson!

[timtonymanu]

Bonner!

[Yorae]

Wow what's that playing on audio pass....

[timtonymanu]

Tony, wake up! Remember this is the team u scored 55 against.

[timtonymanu]

Bonner j!!!!!!!!!!!!

[duncan228]

Ugly. Just ugly. Hopefully they can just hang around close and get the win.

[ivanfromwestwood]

bonner is amazing..

if anybody has a game link pls PM me

thanks in advance.

Sorry Kori,but I'm dying to watch the spurs.

Weren't you one of the people that would have been banned that night?

[Jobbs]

Fin 3!

[loveforthegame]

With Parker and Ginobli struggling how about getting Finley a shot or two?

[timtonymanu]

Wow. we just let them back in.

Edit: Finley 3!

[loveforthegame]

Great. As soon as I type that Finley hits a 3. He's 2-2 now.

[timtonymanu]

frickin Ginobili.

[tp2021]

Hey! They were playing my ringtone!

This game is evidence that the Spurs need a big for rebounds and blocks/defense.

This should be in the OP of all Game threads:

[Ice009]

Alright give George Hill all of Tony's minute. He totally sucks out there.

[Jobbs]

you guys watching or listening to the radio feed?

I'm gonna mute LP on TV.

[mystargtr34]

Bring Hill in for Parker, sit his ass down.

[Reck]

Why are we doing so poorly against such a shitty ass team as this?

[duncan228]

41 all at the half. Just hang around and get it done.

[Ice009]

Spurs stinking tonight especially Tony.

George has played a lot better. Give him the minutes.

[timtonymanu]

Why are we doing so poorly against such a shitty ass team as this?

T-Wolves usually do good against us for some reason.

[Ice009]

Why was Mason not given more time either?

I thought he should have been in there at the end of the second quarter.

[timtonymanu]

Tony needs to wake up. Manu needs to stop jacking up so much shots.

[joeyjfive]

this is torture wtf is audio league pass playing, i cant see or hear the game

[Anti.Hero]

I have to really talk myself down from getting excited about standings and calculating each high ranked team's winning percentage should they lose that given night.

Why? Because I know by now I cannot trust the Spurs to play to their potential every night. Especially against teams like T'Wolves, Bucks, etc.

Oh well.

[T Park]

T-wolves are a better team than their record indicates. Bad health and a horrible coach have been their main problems this year...

[loveforthegame]

I'll take a tie at the half with the way the big 3 are playing.

Parker is 0-3 though he does have 4 assists.
Duncan is 3-7 with 6 rebounds, 2 blocks, but 3 turnovers.
Ginobli is 3-11 with only 2 rebounds.

Bright spots: Finley (4 rebounds behind Duncan), Bonner, Mason, Hill, Thomas, and Oberto

[Anti.Hero]

Duncan228, if you do not get the HEB commercials in Cali (I guess you don't) you need to find this newest one with Tim Manu and Bruce stretching their legs.

It's funny.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Mason needs to get WAY WAY more minutes.

He could easily have been part of a "big 4" with SA, but the coaching staff is regressing him right now

[duncan228]

Duncan228, if you do not get the HEB commercials in Cali (I guess you don't) you need to find this newest one with Tim Manu and Bruce stretching their legs.

It's funny.

Thanks, I'll look for it. I only get the commercials when LP has Spurs call.

[tp2021]

Thanks, I'll look for it. I only get the commercials when LP has Spurs call.

No wonder you're mad about it! :lol

[tp2021]

T-Wolves usually do good against us for some reason.

See Bucks, Milwaukee.

The forum is really pissed with Finley doing good and all...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The forum is really pissed with Finley doing good and all...

It gets worse when the Spurs lose, trust me.

[mystargtr34]

This looks like one of those typical games where SA doesnt give a shit and loses. Hopefully now that theres options outside of the big 3 like Mase, Hill, Bonner and a more consistent Fin they can win these games.

I think Parker will come out of the locker room and really look for his shot and attack the rim - he needs to get it going. If he can hit a couple early, everything will open up.

[Blackjack]

Spurs stinking tonight especially Tony.

George has played a lot better. Give him the minutes.

Tony looks like he hasn't gotten over whatever he had the other night. It actually looked like Foye and Telfair were relieved to see Tony on the court after expereiencing Hills D though.:tu

Hopefully Hill can pick up the slack for Tony in the 2nd half, if Tony isn't capable.

[Yorae]

Duncan and Parker are very aggressive, see shot chart...

[Budkin]

Isn't this the same team that Tony beat in OT earlier in the season? I'm sure they're pumped for some revenge.

[duncan228]

them,why you asked me.

I searched for it after I asked you.

Kori let it go that night because of the big win, but in her last post in that thread she made it clear. We can't have link conversation on her forum. Please respect it, if ST gets in trouble we all lose out.

[Jobbs]

nice jumper by Tim

[tp2021]

Tony blows right now.

[Anti.Hero]

Wtf Was That Parker?

I'd bench him for that stupid ass shot.

[timtonymanu]

so many fuckin misses

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF is wrong with TP???

[Jobbs]

hack a Duncan?

[Yorae]

What is happening to parker, don't tell me he did that pregame thing again...

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice D TD

[loveforthegame]

I wish Pop wasn't so stubborn about playing Parker and give Hill some extra minutes.

[timtonymanu]

Let's go Spurs! Quit slacking.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley J from TP

[timtonymanu]

Finley J!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD J from TP!!

[mystargtr34]

Hill needs to come in

[Anti.Hero]

Is that the same guy on Minn missing all these layups? :lol

[mystargtr34]

Credit to TP for still setting up and assisting when hes shot isnt going.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bad shot Finley

[Ice009]

For Fucks Sake You Idiot Pop Take Finley Off Not Mason.

Fucking Idiot Pop. Finley Off, Mason On. Asshole.

[timtonymanu]

parker just needs to pass. it's the only thing working for him.

[Anti.Hero]

lol @ Bonner.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice job Bonner

[timtonymanu]

god it pisses me off that Mason and Hill dont get alot of time. if it werent for those 2, our record wouldnt be as good as it is now.

[Anti.Hero]

T'Wolves are in trouble now.

They just awoke the Bonner.

[kace]

Credit to TP for still setting up and assisting when hes shot isnt going.

yes, the same TP who was bashed for shooting too much and not having enough assists. he has yet seven assists and took only 4 shots.

but the fact that he missed all of them isn't a good thing for the spurs, that's for sure.

[loveforthegame]

For Fucks Sake You Idiot Pop Take Finley Off Not Mason.

Fucking Idiot Pop. Finley Off, Mason On. Asshole.

Finley's actually playing well tonight minus the one bad shot he took.

3-6 for 7 points and 5 rebounds.

[Jobbs]

that Manu shot was crazy

too bad he missed :(

[mystargtr34]

god it pisses me off that Mason and Hill dont get alot of time. if it werent for those 2, our record wouldnt be as good as it is now.

I agree, these guys deserve more time. At some point theyre going to get deflated with the lack of minutes after doing so well when they have played, especially when guys in front of them are struggling.

It sux.

[Anti.Hero]

nice rebound bonner.

[kace]

parker just needs to pass. it's the only thing working for him.

+ 1

[Amuseddaysleeper]

TP just refuses to pass it to Manu

[Yorae]

Pop needs TP's confidence to return...

[Jobbs]

aaaaaaaaah Chobot back on my NBA LP

[Amuseddaysleeper]

And PLEASE can we put Mason in?!?!

[Spurs Brazil]

Great off reb Bonner

Finley is taking some bad shots

[Ice009]

Popavitch call timeout on yourself.

WTF has Finley done to earn way more minutes than Mason?

When Finley was stinking it up at the start of the season Mason was playing his ass of for us and this is what he gets? FUCKING scrub minutes.

No wonder no free agents want to come here.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

TP just refuses to pass it to Manu

Manu is 3 -12 so maybe that's not such a bad thing

[timtonymanu]

Mason is +11 in the game while Manu is -8 in the game and Manu's playing more.

[Ice009]

I agree, these guys deserve more time. At some point theyre going to get deflated with the lack of minutes after doing so well when they have played, especially when guys in front of them are struggling.

It sux.

Exactly. Pop is killing their confidence. Someone needs to bitch slap Pop and wake the fucker up.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Ice009]

I seriously pissed out at POP.

SCRUB minutes for Hill and Mason is NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

[timtonymanu]

finally Pop wakes up and puts in Hill

[Spurs Brazil]

4PF on SMith

[Jobbs]

[Jobbs]

[Anti.Hero]

lol that guy cannot make layups!

[Ice009]

OM FInley is coming back in. LOL this is fucking idiotic. Meanwhile Mason sits on the bench.

[timtonymanu]

Pop, man u piss me off sometimes.

Poor Mason is losing minutes he deserves.

[Ice009]

I just bought a day pass on NBA league pass international.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Spurs Brazil]

Are you watching the game SpursBrazil?

Yes I'm

Is the League Pass good?

[Yorae]

I (hopefully) think that Pop's reserving Mason for a fourth quarter assault...

[Ice009]

I don't understand why Mason gets no court time anymore.

He's hitting shots yet he never gets the ball or court time.

[Ice009]

Yes I'm

Is the League Pass good?

Yeah it's working OK for me right now. It buffered a little bit, but I paused and started it again and it's going OK.

I think you guys can get it in Brazil?

[loveforthegame]

I'd like to see Mason get some more minutes but it's not like he's playing 15x better than Finley tonight.

Mason: 2-5, 1-4, 5 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists

Finley: 3-7, 1-3, 7 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 turnover, 1 steal

[timtonymanu]

I'd like to see Mason get some more minutes but it's not like he's playing 15x better than Finley tonight.

Mason: 2-5, 1-4, 5 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists

Finley: 3-7, 1-3, 7 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 turnover, 1 steal

well sure when Mason's playing 14 minutes while Finley plays 23 minutes.

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!!

[Ice009]

I'd like to see Mason get some more minutes but it's not like he's playing 15x better than Finley tonight.

Mason: 2-5, 1-4, 5 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists

Finley: 3-7, 1-3, 7 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 turnover, 1 steal

There's other games though in the last few games where he's been 4-6 and didn't get shots or court time.

[Yorae]

Hill!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Timmy!

[mystargtr34]

:lol Hill with the Offensive board

[Spurs Brazil]

Yeah it's working OK for me right now. It buffered a little bit, but I paused and started it again and it's going OK.

I think you guys can get it in Brazil?

I'll take a lot at it

[Yorae]

Bonner time..

[timtonymanu]

2:01 SA - T. Parker enters game for M. Bonner

WTF, didnt Bonner just enter for Duncan?

[Ice009]

Finley at the 4. Beautiful POP.

[Yorae]

Oh Pop Mason is there can't you see him???

[Reck]

What a joke. Parker only has 1 point and he's coming into the game now? Why the hell pop?

[mystargtr34]

Why isnt Mason playing.

Fuck me 14 minutes for Mason.

[timtonymanu]

Pop deserves to get slapped right now. He's pissing everyone off.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill block!

[tp2021]

G-Hill with the B-Lock!

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill steal!!!

[Ice009]

HILL WHAT A BLOCK WITH THE LEFT HAND then and amazing steal.

CONDOR!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Yorae]

Hill Poweeeerrrrr!!!!

[timtonymanu]

WOO HOO Hill!

See Pop now u know wat we mean.

[DPG21920]

Is anyone else surprised at how much better of a passer Bonner has become?

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley 33333333333333333333333333

[tp2021]

Hill got a block, a steal, drew a foul, and an assist. Wow.

[timtonymanu]

Finley 3!

Leave Parker out, Pop!

[Yorae]

Is anyone else surprised at how much better of a passer Bonner has become?

Spurs' Brad Miller??

[Anti.Hero]

Just shoot the ball Manu, damn.

[loveforthegame]

Get Finley out of there. How dare he make a shot and take minutes away from Mason.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 66-57 after the 3rd

[Anti.Hero]

Is anyone else surprised at how much better of a passer Bonner has become?

He is getting damn good at hitting TD with a nice pass deep in the paint.

[timtonymanu]

this game is a layup missing contest. How many layups have the T-Wolves and Spurs missed?

[Reck]

24 Shot clock violantion?

Wake the fuck up

[DPG21920]

Spurs' Brad Miller??

LOL, I am just saying that he has really had some sharp passes this year in multiple games.

[Ice009]

Hill also with the great extra pass to give Finley that 3.

Hill has swung the game right now.

Pop needs to give the guys that are doing well minutes.

[pawe]

Just got in and im assuming Hill's playing pretty good huh? Is TP still sucking at the point?

[timtonymanu]

Mason, Hill, Bonner, Timmy, and Finley should start the 4th.

[Yorae]

LOL, I am just saying that he has really had some sharp passes this year in multiple games.

Yeah hehe, but I believe he has the potential to be just that...

[Yorae]

And findog just justified his presence with a 3...

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu has started to develop a black hole mentality. He needs to move the ball more.

When Hill gets consistent minutes, hes gonna be one of those guys that fills up the stat sheet, points, boards, assists, steals, blocks, and great D.

Hes a game changer.

Hi guys, I am new here. The Spurs have played a nice defensive game. The Timberwolves have scored on only 35.2% of their field goals and allowed only 8 free throws.
