back to back... spurs by 10

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Sequ of the corn strikes again.

Spurs 100 Sixers 124

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs by 5

[T Park]

We'll see if the Spurs can shake off the back to back blues.

I look for Roger Mason to have an improved night along with Michael Finley.

Duncan shouldn't have to play heavy minutes but I forsee him getting about 30 35. With Brand out, Dalembert will get the assignment I assume and usually players like Dalembert do really well on Duncan. Long, lanky, athletic players.


Spurs should win, but it will be a tough assignment as the Sixers present many matchup problems.

Game blog: Spurs vs. 76ers (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/spursworld/)
By Joe Alexander

Both teams are playing the second game of a back-to-back when the Spurs take on the Philadelphia 76ers at the AT&T Center.

The Spurs are coming off a 91-80 road victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. Tim Duncan led the Spurs with 20 points and 10 rebounds.

The Sixers have lost five of their last six games. They lost to the Mavericks 96-86 Friday night in Dallas. Andre Iguodala led the Sixers with 22 points. Andre Miller had 17 points and 11 rebounds.

The Spurs have won three of the last four meetings with the Sixers. The teams split their two games last season and the Spurs won both games in 2006-07. The Sixers have lost 20 of the last 21 times they played in San Antonio.

Here is the latest on the 76ers:

Kate Fagan, Philadelphia Inquirer
Yes, the 76ers are the NBA's worst long-range-shooting team at 29.1 percent. Yes, they are the only NBA team below 30 percent. Yes, they were worst in the NBA last season, too.

[TampaDude]

I think a win puts the Spurs back in first place in the division...yes???

[T Park]

Tied for, but the key thing to look at is loss column and the Hornets have 9, the Spurs have 11. the Spurs have played I believe 2 or 3 more games than the Hornets.


I think the Hornets are 20-9, Spurs 21-11.

[Reck]

Hornets play tonight as well.

With a Spurs win and a Hornets loss The Spurs will indeed take the #1 spot on their division.

Spurs win= they get half a game and tie with Hornets.
+
Hornets lose= they lose the half a game they have over the Spurs

While correct, remember again, the Hornets have 3 games in hand opposite the Spurs, two up in the loss column, so the Spurs will have to take care of business especially against the Hornets, but also hope for a tad bit of help.

[td4mvp21]

Keys will be shutting down the paint and transition defense. If we can force the 76ers into jumpers we will be fine.

[T Park]

Keys will be shutting down the paint and transition defense. If we can force the 76ers into jumpers we will be fine.

Agreed. Pack the paint and force them into jumpers and get the long rebounds. Not the toughest of defensive game plans tonight. Iguodala though is a great penetrator so Mason and Bowen will have their work cut out for them.
Parker and Hill also have to be agressive on their D on Andre Miller, because letting him get going would open things up for AI and others.

[bdictjames]

Hope Manu will have a beast game tonight. He hasn't had one in this season has he?

[T Park]

I think around the time he came back he had a couple of good games, but other than that, Ginobili has not been spectacular. Not totally time to panic yet, but, there is reason for concern IMO.

[bdictjames]

Ever since TP came back he has not found his rhythm, lol.

[T Park]

Good lord :lol

[peskypesky]

Spurs will win and Hornets will lose. Spurs will take first place in the division.

[duncan228]

Monroe on the NBA TV pre-game show now.

[Chieflion]

Shoot, Spurs are on NBA tv.

[duncan228]

Nice piece with Monroe. He said Hill's skill set reminds him of Fat Lever.

[duncan228]

Sixers have the call?

[Spurs Brazil]

JV inactive tonight

[duncan228]

Sorry, Spurs call! :elephant

[mfanatic]

[loveforthegame]

Bonner will have those shots all night long.

[Reck]

Bonner hot right out of the gates.

Lets hope he continues to be hot as the game goes on.

[bdictjames]

Duncan layup. Good ball movement, as by stat sheet.

[bdictjames]

Timmy!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and one!!!

[Crookshanks]

Question - I have NBA League Pass but someone else is watching the TV at my house. How can I watch the game? I see it's on NBA tv - is that another channel? I live in the DFW area.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 3333333333333333333333333333333

[bdictjames]

lololol up 10, 4 minutes into the game.

[duncan228]

Question - I have NBA League Pass but someone else is watching the TV at my house. How can I watch the game? I see it's on NBA tv - is that another channel? I live in the DFW area.

NBA TV is a seperate channel from LP. I'm not in your area so I can't help with channels, but NBA TV is its own.

[Reck]

Up by 10 already.

Good night so far.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD from TP!!!!!!

[Reck]

[Crookshanks]

Is there anywhere on the internet that streams the Spurs games?

[mfanatic]

Bonner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bdictjames]

We are shooting 80%, 100% from three.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 23-11

[bdictjames]

If Tony continues on this rate, he'll have around 30 assists.

[loveforthegame]

Might as well bring Ginobli in for Finley. Looks like another night where Finley isn't going to get a shot for 10 minutes.

[bdictjames]

Duncan is off to a 5 of 5 start again.

[bdictjames]

Come to think of it, this could be Pop's new plan. Get Duncan going on early.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 333333333333333333333333333

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mfanatic]

[SpurAddict561]

holy shit

RMJ at the buzzer

this is definitely the best quarter we've played all year, hands down

let's not let off the gas now

[Reck]

Fucking money Mason to cap the first quarter off.

Wow..just wow.

[SpursDynasty]

What's the franchise record for 3's in a game by the Spurs?

[bdictjames]

Mason 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SpurAddict561]

We'll see if the Spurs can shake off the back to back blues.

I look for Roger Mason to have an improved night along with Michael Finley.



looks like you're right there bro

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs from 3PT in the 1st quarter: 8-9

[SpurAddict561]

Fucking money Mason to cap the first quarter off.

Wow..just wow.

are you satisfied with that qtr Shadow? lol

[SpurAddict561]

10-7 Colts

[Reck]

looks like you're right there bro

Lets wait for the 3rd and 4th quarter.

I still think of the Thunder game. Awesome start and poor finish.

[mattyc]

Unreal. 40 point 1st term.

[Reck]

are you satisfied with that qtr Shadow? lol

:downspin:

[SpurAddict561]

15-20 for the qtr

gotta be our best shooting qtr yet no doubt

lol

[bbarry]

What's the franchise record for 3's in a game by the Spurs?

16 I think? At least since 1986. We had 16 3's against Raptors earlier this year too.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice play Tolliver

[SpurAddict561]

what was the tech on AI for?

[bdictjames]

looks like you're right there bro
Half right.

[SpurAddict561]

hey now, Finley didn't even play in the 1st, did he? lol

[SpursDynasty]

I don't know what it is about Tolliver, but I don't like him.

[SpurAddict561]

wow Lou missed both FTs?

[Reck]

I know we are up by like 19 or something but what is Tolliver still doing out there?

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley J!!

[SpurAddict561]

this ESPN PBP is weird..lol

[peskypesky]

I don't know what it is about Tolliver, but I don't like him.

Pop needs to see what he can do...and this is one of those games where he can get minutes.

[loveforthegame]

hey now, Finley didn't even play in the 1st, did he? lol

He played the first 7 minutes. Had 1 rebound but took no shots.

[peskypesky]

Poor Udoka. His ass is glued to the pine.

[SpurAddict561]

Tolliver to the benchmobile, Batman!

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN Tolliver, That was VERY ugly

[Ice009]

Tolliver is out. That was a huge AIRBALL three.

[bbarry]

tolliver has been atrocious from 3pt range...

[Spurs Brazil]

76ers 8-2 run

Pop Time out

Spurs up 42-27

[SpurAddict561]

i have AI on my fantasy team, so as long as he's the only one scoring wild I'm happy.

[Ice009]

Is Tolliver the worst shooter in the NBA?


The Spurs said he's a great shooter. I'm thinking he's the worst shooter in the NBA.

[Reck]

Thank god.

[Bender]

too bad about tolliver. he does most things well, but can't shoot to save his life...

[HarlemHeat37]

Tolliver's misses are ALWAYS long..ALWAYS..

most of Philly's points are coming off transition, as usual..we need to take some better shots at times, despite our lead..

let's get some of the starters back in..

[Johnny RIngo]

Tolliver can't shoot. His FG% for the season is .302 and his 3P% is .225. He's not an NBA calibre shooter. If I were the Spurs, I'd think about giving the roster spot to someone else.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chomag]

my gawd...

I wonder when Toliver will finally realize he is not a 3 pt specialist and try playing a diferent style

[loveforthegame]

It's time for the Spurs to look at someone else. Tolliver brings energy but he has to make those open shots. He's not even close.

[Brazil]

Tolliver is the worst 3 points shooter ever

[Crookshanks]

how come the game isn't on NBA League Pass tonight?
I'm missing a GREAT game and I'm really pissed!!!!!

[pawe]

Just got in. How are the spurs doin so far?

[Ice009]

How is it an 11 point game?????

[boutons_]

Here we go, Spurs getting destroyed in the 2nd qtr

[SpurAddict561]

offensive rebounds galore

jesussssssss

[bbarry]

how come the game isn't on NBA League Pass tonight?
I'm missing a GREAT game and I'm really pissed!!!!!

Because it's on national television tonight (NBA TV)

[Spurs Brazil]

It looks like Thunder game

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley 333333333333333333333333333333

[SpurAddict561]

There goes Findawg

[loveforthegame]

Ginobli will need to be careful. 2 fouls with 7 minutes in the 2nd still.

[peskypesky]

It's time for the Spurs to look at someone else. Tolliver brings energy but he has to make those open shots. He's not even close.

So how did he make it into the NBA exactly? I don't get it.

[Reck]

Here we go, Spurs getting destroyed in the 2nd qtr

I blame Tolliver.

Since he came into the game everything when to shit.

Things are looking better now without him in.

[SpurAddict561]

shot clock violation? wtf

[Brazil]

TP with 5 assists nice

[Spurs Brazil]

TD from TP!!!

[Crookshanks]

Because it's on national television tonight (NBA TV)
ok - I'm in the DFW area - does anybody know what channel it is? I've been looking but can't find it!

[Spurs Brazil]

TP with 5 assists nice

Make it 7

TP J!!!!!!!

[pawe]

ooops, sixers making their shots now

[SpursFan0728]

Tolliver is shitty

[pawe]

More plays for Mason..that guy needs to ball to up his confidence for the second half of the season.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bibby just made a 3 to fuck the Rockets

[pawe]

Is there any mascot funnier than the coyote? He's awesome!

[Spurs Brazil]

Hawks win 103-100

[Ice009]

Tolliver can't shoot. His FG% for the season is .302 and his 3P% is .225. He's not an NBA calibre shooter. If I were the Spurs, I'd think about giving the roster spot to someone else.

I think it was Obstructed View and myself saying since the preseason that Tolliver is a crap shooter. I said it back then that he isn't too good. We both wanted either Hairston or Watkins, anyone but Tolliver.

I would have preferred Watkins over him for interior defense. I think the Spurs would have been better off getting Watkins in to learn and maybe provide 5-10 minutes of spot defense protecting the rim.

[Johnny RIngo]

Tolliver is shitty

Yup. At least Bonner plays well against the lottery teams.

[Ice009]

my gawd...

I wonder when Toliver will finally realize he is not a 3 pt specialist and try playing a diferent style

I think it's the Spurs that have told him he's a good shooter and to keep shooting it.

[SpurAddict561]

in other news Rockets lose

Mike Bibby hits game winning 3.

[loveforthegame]

Houston loses again.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great block Thomas

[pawe]

Thomas with the inside presence!!!

[bbarry]

Rockets lose tonight again... yay.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs going small

[Reck]

Hawks win 103-100

Good news.

[outmap]

uh oh, small ball now.

[Brazil]

charlotte on a good way to defeat the bucks +13 with diaw at 21 6 and 5

[Reck]

Protect the Paint!!!!

Sixers are killing them in the paint.

Agreed. Tolliver's just redundant at this point(Matt Bonner fills that role just fine). I hope the Spurs bring in someone else.

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pawe]

TD unstoppable!!! spurs up 13

[duncan228]

Duncan simply incredible. Triple teamed and still gets through.

[loveforthegame]

Just what we need for rebounding.

[Jobbs]

This game has been fun to watch even if it's a "blowout"

I wouldn't be surprised if Philly took the lead by the 4th.

[SpurAddict561]

Findawg with the block

[peskypesky]

in other news, Chargers TD! 5'6" RB takes it in

[Ice009]

Everyone said we don't need Watkins cause we have Mahinmi ;).

[pawe]

Spurs win + Hou and Hornets losses = good night

[SpurAddict561]

14-10

let's go Coltsssssssss

see if Peyton can get Vinateri into FG range going into the half

or just fumble the kick off and give Chargers another score

[Ice009]

Protect the Paint!!!!

Sixers are killing them in the paint.

Should have went for an interior defender like Watkins instead of Tolliver.

Blame the Spurs love for a Robert Horry clone. If the Spurs wanted Robert Horry they should have just signed Horry instead of Tolliver.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[SpurAddict561]

Timmy with the o-rebound?!

amazing!

[SpurAddict561]

Speights another offensive reb and Timmy with the shooting foul

crapola

[Crookshanks]

Come on! I know there are other Spurs fans in the DFW area - how are you watching the game?

[Ice009]

Spurs interior D is FREAKING AWFUL.

THIS IS BAD. If we weren't shooting this well and were playing a good team we'd be in hole.

Pop has to get on them at half time about closing that fucking lane down.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[mystargtr34]

Anthony Lolliver still out there doing his thing by the sounds of it.

Just started watching the game on Timmys last bucket.

Looks like they were on fire in the 1st. Was that some sort of record for most 3's made in a quarter for us?

[Reck]

Manu taking OVAH

[pawe]

Nice defense! 24 sec violation on sixers

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice D

[Spurs Brazil]

TP layup!!!!!

[pawe]

Lets close out the quarter strong san antonio!!

[Crookshanks]

Anyone?????? How can I watch the game in the DFW area?

[duncan228]

Come on! I know there are other Spurs fans in the DFW area - how are you watching the game?

Maybe call your provider and ask them what channel NBA TV is? Or see if they have a channel line up on their web site?

[SpurAddict561]

what the heck is DFW? lol

[pawe]

THAT IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!!!! TD and-1

[Jobbs]

3 straight wild layups made

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That one he made was like the one he missed agaisnt the Bucks

[loveforthegame]

This Duncan guy is pretty good.

[SpurAddict561]

he's playing pissed after that game winning layup he missed on vs the Bucks

just like the all time PF he is

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 66-50 at the half

TD 19pts 6rebs
TP 11pts 8asts
Manu 13pts 2asts

[Crookshanks]

Maybe call your provider and ask them what channel NBA TV is? Or see if they have a channel line up on their web site?

I'm trying but I'm still waiting for someone to help me at Time Warner.

[pawe]

bring george back in to start the 3rd so TP can rest.

[Brazil]

someone has the official TP assists number i have 7 on cbs, 8 on yahoo and 6 on i don't remember ?

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs interior D is FREAKING AWFUL.

THIS IS BAD. If we weren't shooting this well and were playing a good team we'd be in hole.

Pop has to get on them at half time about closing that fucking lane down.

Really bad defense. Spurs are going to be in for a load of trouble when they start playing the legit teams in late January.

[T Park]

Nice end to the quarter. Solid first half.

Cut down on the turnovers and force more jumpers, and the game should be in the bag.

[T Park]

:lol @ the as always worry warts who freak out over nothing.

God, you need a fucking valium.

[pawe]

Im checking yahoo box scores and I dont see Oberto and Udoka's name on the lineup, are they injured?

[Ice009]

Really bad defense. Spurs are going to be in for a load of trouble when they start playing the legit teams in late January.

Yep. I'm not too happy with their play at all. That interior defense has got to be a lot better than this. Rebounding too.

[Bender]

is that Ric Renner's real hair ??

[Brazil]

8

thanks

[Ice009]

At this point I really don't care if we score 150 if the defense is bad. I'm not interested at all. Spurs win on defense.

[Ice009]

Although I will take this offense ;).

[peskypesky]

you have to pay extra for NBA TV, right?

[HarlemHeat37]

you guys do realize that our best perimeter defender hasn't played in this game, because he isn't needed vs. Philly..also, we aren't going to come out with high intensity vs. a team like Philly when we're at home and our offense is clicking..

it's clear when you see that a lot of Philly's points are coming off transition, where we're falling asleep..

[Johnny RIngo]

Yep. I'm not too happy with their play at all. That interior defense has got to be a lot better than this. Rebounding too.

It's been a recurring problem for the Spurs all year long(getting killed in the paint, getting beat on the boards, and losing big leads). We're not going to shoot 65% from the field every game. We'll see what this team is made of when they start playing some real opponents in the next few weeks.

[Ice009]

God, you need a fucking valium.

So giving up a shitload of points in the paint against crap teams like Milwaukee and Philadelphia is going to prepare us against a tough upcoming schedule how?

Unless we keep this offense up our D has to improve is all I am saying. Do you not agree with that?

Hey I might come off a bit over excited in the game threads, but you can't disagree with that can you?

We've played mostly average teams so far this season.

[Brazil]

am I the only one to think that there a lot of similarities between TP and Miller ?

[duncan228]

you have to pay extra for NBA TV, right?

I always have. It's never been part of my basic cable, it's another 'tier' up. It's part of a sports package where I am now.

And LP is a seperate package to order and pay for.

[boutons_]

Spurs lose 2nd qtr.

[Reck]

Heat/Nets game looks like its coming down to the wire.

[Crookshanks]

I finally got thru to someone at Time Warner. NBA tv is channel 188 in the DFW area. I'm just mad I missed the whole first half! :madrun

You know, you probably could have found it faster have you google "NBA tv channel on Time Warner" or something like that.

[Crookshanks]

Glad you got an answer, at least you didn't miss all of it. :)
Yeah - and it's finally a game where I get to hear Sean Elliott!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD tip in!!!!!!!

[pawe]

The spurs are going to step up their defense on the second half of the season when things get interesting. One good thing about the team is they have a proven system for their defense. Right now, its about executing plays and getting the shooters some confidence.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD again!!!!!!!!

23pts

[duncan228]

Duncan out of his mind.

[Crookshanks]

You know, you probably could have found it faster have you google "NBA tv channel on Time Warner" or something like that.
I did go to the Time Warner - Dallas site and clicked on programming - but it wasn't there!

Oh well - at least I have the game on now!

[pawe]

Fin with the block!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley 333333333333333333333333

[T Park]

suck on that Finley haters.

[SpurAddict561]

Findawg with another block??

[duncan228]

I did go to the Time Warner - Dallas site and clicked on programming - but it wasn't there!

I tried searching for it for you too and I didn't find a channel line up.

[Ice009]

Timeout. Defense stinks.

Is it just me or is TP's ball handling the worst I've ever seen it this season? I think TP is one of the best ball handlers in the NBA. This season though he seems really sloppy with his dribble at times.

[loveforthegame]

Yahoo showing Finley with only 1 block.

[Brazil]

tp with 4 tos it sucks

[mystargtr34]

Samuel Dalembert fucking sucks.

How do you help on to Finley so hard and leave Duncan open 5 feet from the basket.

[Brazil]

tp cold

[pawe]

Dang, TP is fast!

[Ice009]

Wow Sean said Philly is the worst three point shooting team in the NBA. You want them to shoot threes. Your objective is to keep them out of the paint. If that's correct the Spurs are doing a poor job of that.

[Reck]

Wow Spurs only leadong by 10..

Watch this scrub team make this a game..

[mystargtr34]

Findawg with another block??

He owned Green on a fast break lay up attempt.

Spiked it back down at him.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice job TD.

We need to put the ball on his hand

[Johnny RIngo]

With how well we're shooting, we should have been blowing this team out. Shitty, lazy defense.

[kace]

tp with 4 tos it sucks

3 TO. for 9 assists. no problem here, only the last one was stupid and due to lack of attention.

[Brazil]

Denver up by 20 !!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Miller always plays well against us

[pawe]

That is Manu's effect, whenever he gets to touch the ball, the crowd goes crazy. And some ST posters want to trade him??? nuggnuts!

[itzsoweezee]

can someone please show matt bonner how to set a screen? he and greg oden are the most half-assed screen setters in the league.

[SpurAddict561]

the momentum is gone now it's time to grind it out

sigh

[Brazil]

Miller is a dam good pg

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu J!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

17´pts

6 Point Game.

Come On Spurs.

[Jobbs]

jeez New Orleans is getting crushed

[Capt Bringdown]

It's pretty clear that the way to beat the Spurs is in the paint and on the boards. We desperately need help down low.

[Sean Cagney]

Another big blown lead, what else is new?

[Crookshanks]

uh-oh! Come on Spurs!

[Johnny RIngo]

Typical Spurs game.

1. Shitty interior defense
2. Getting killed on the boards
3. Lost a big lead(what was it this time - 20?)

[Brazil]

Another big blown lead, what else is new?

:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang

[itzsoweezee]

this team is in trouble. when their jumpers are not falling, they're pathetic. and since defense isn't an emphasis anymore, what are the spurs going to do to beat the teams that play good defense?

[Ice009]

LOL what now TPark?

Look what happens when the Spurs don't play defense.

[peskypesky]

ughh....what the f happened?

[SpurAddict561]

in other news, the Hornets are getting stomped without Chandler's thugged out ass

[Spurs Brazil]

It just like the Thunder game.

Play well in the 1st quarter and then stop playing. the D is bad and when the shots stop going in the 76ers made their run

[pawe]

Relax brothers and sisters, the Spurs will pull thru. They are notoriously known to play down to their opponents level.

It's pretty clear that the way to beat the Spurs is in the paint and on the boards. We desperately need help down low.

It's no wonder that we got beat down by NO and Orlando. We're going to be in for a world of hurt when we play the Lakers/Celtics/Cavs.
