Game Preview: SpursTalk Previews Thread (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114515)

After an exciting game against the Lakers on Wednesday night, where our Off Season Savior hit another heroic basket, the Spurs begin a 3 game roadtrip through the Eastern Conference in Philadelphia.

:flag: Team is everything, believe. :flag:

[Reck]

Spurs will steamroll these pretenders.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Any chance the Knicks will loan us Malik Rose for the night? He was always good for a 20/12 performance in Philly.

Spurs should be able to dominate, but my gut is saying this is one of those games that will end up a lot closer than it should have been, whether due to a slow start or taking their foot off the gas in the second or third quarter.

Prove me wrong Spurs!

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

well its 12:46am here and im wide awake, so i guess ill be following this game :lol

Just had to drive as quick, and as careful, as possible through a rugged African village to get a woman in labour to the local hospital. Ah the joys of being married to a midwife :lol

Game chat: Spurs vs. Sixers (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/spursworld/2009/01/game-chat-spurs-vs-sixers.html)
By Joe Alexander

The Spurs take on the Philadelphia 76ers today at 6 p.m. (San Antonio time) in Philadelphia.

Earlier Friday, The Spurs signed veteran free-agent forward Austin Croshere to a 10-day contract. He has played in 656 NBA games going back to the 1997-98 season. He was waived earlier this season by the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Sixers are hoping to get Elton Brand back tonight. The 6-foot-9 forward has missed 15 games due to injury. He is averaging 15.9 points and 9.8 rebounds in his first season with the Sixers.

Tonight's outing is the first of a three-game road trip for the Spurs, who play at Chicago on Saturday and at Charlotte on Monday afternoon. The Spurs have won 10 of their last 12 games, including Wednesday's 112-111 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Phil Jasner, Philadelphia Daily News
So how does Andre Miller view Donovan McNabb, one quarterback to another? That's right, Miller, the 76ers' point guard, spent part of his senior year at Verbum Dei High in South Central Los Angeles playing quarterback.

Kevin Tatum, Philadelphia Inquirer
The Elton Brand Watch continued yesterday, and Sixers coach Tony DiLeo said the power forward has an outside chance of playing tonight when the San Antonio Spurs invade the Wachovia Center.

[anakha]

Spurs will steamroll these pretenders.

Just like the way they did last time? :rolleyes

[lefty]

Mason !!!!

OMG !!!!!!

[Chris]

Spurs should get plenty of open shots, they just need to hit them. Their transition defense needs to be good tonight since the 76ers are young, fast, and athletic.

[duncan228]

Sixers call on LP.

[timtonymanu]

Croshere wont be playing tonight right?

[Spurs Brazil]

Arena is empty

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Someone go to the freakin RACK!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Td And One!!!

[timtonymanu]

Td!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD with 4rebs

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice move by TP, too bad he missed

Spurs doing a good job to get back to D

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Uh-oh. Tp's head isn't in the game. He hasn't penetrated once. And he just tried to post Miller, who is MUCH BIGGER than he is. :rolleyes

[Reck]

Parker needs to work on making those layups. These gimmes misses are becoming much too frequent.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 22222222222222222222

[BruceBowenFan]

nice block by mason

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 9-8 not good ofense but the D look very good so far

[Shastafarian]

I laugh every time TP tries to post someone up. I can't believe it actually almost worked.

[Death In June]

Why is there no one at the game? The philly/cards game is tomorrow, I thought.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nice move by TP, too bad he missed

Spurs doing a good job to get back to D

Sure, he got past him, but 9 times out of 10 you shouldn't post a bigger, stronger player because they will own your arse. You take a bigger guy outside and drive on him.

[Spurs Brazil]

Td J!!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD got a break on this one

2nd on Dalembert

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

"...that time Sammy getting the best of Duncan..."

Why is Tim at the stripe then?

:lmao

[Reck]

Oh oh..Homers are calling the game.

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN in and out

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 333333333333333333

[timtonymanu]

Mason 333333333!

[Spurs Brazil]

Small ball, Thomas is the only big

[Manufan909]

Duncan working the magic. Give Manu some space, see if he is stil hot.

[Spurs Brazil]

Young will kill Finley

[mattyc]

Mason loves 3's.

[BruceBowenFan]

cmon parker control the basketball

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Parker needs to work on making those layups. These gimmes misses are becoming much too frequent.

That wasn't a gimme. He had to work very hard to get close to the rim which makes it a difficult shot.

He generally misses the gimmes when his legs are tired, like against the magic.

Oh, and for the season he's at 50.6%, but only 56.5% at the rim (compared to someone like Manu who makes 67.4% at the rim).

http://www.nba.com/hotspots/

[Spurs Brazil]

Stop with those week Js

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

GO TO THE RACK.

:pctoss

[timtonymanu]

goddamnit miss after miss.

[Reck]

Funny how Spurs cant hit 3s when playing scrubs teams.

[Trainwreck2100]

this game blows

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs playing very slow on O

[Shastafarian]

http://www.nba.com/hotspots/
The shots itself was a gimme. The post up was not and is usually gonna end in a miss when it's against someone who's bigger than him.

[Spurs Brazil]

Another J, another miss

[BruceBowenFan]

tony put a hand in millers face.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Miller is a Spur killer, always has been.

[Reck]

Same shit different game.

[Death In June]

Spurs look uninspired. Maybe they do need to play the Lakers 10 times a season.

[kace]

The shots itself was a gimme. The post up was not and is usually gonna end in a miss when it's against someone who's bigger than him.

OK, we know. tony is a ballhogger, he's not clutch, he makes bad decisions .........

now, can you just STFU please ?

[Spurs Brazil]

76ers up 10

Spurs playing TERRIBLE

[JohnnySixString]

This time the Spurs are playing below a shittier team's level.

[timtonymanu]

i knew that would happen. shit like that happens to us alot.

[mattyc]

Ouch.

[DPG21920]

One word: uninspired.

[loveforthegame]

Spurs have some work to do. Might want to start now.

[Shastafarian]

OK, we know. tony is a ballhogger, he's not clutch, he makes bad decisions .........

now, can you just STFU please ?

:lol I'm sorry your panties are in a bunch. Are you saying you wanna see Tony post up Miller?

[Spurs Brazil]

We were up until TD went to the bench and then 76ers on a 17-5 run

[mVp]

WTF is Tony doing out there? geez...

[tp2021]

It's Miller time.

[DPG21920]

No energy at all, this needs to pick up or this athletic team will punch the spurs square in the mouth.

[scanry]

OK, we know. tony is a ballhogger, he's not clutch, he makes bad decisions .........

now, can you just STFU please ?


:bang:bang:bang:bang

Get Hill in there Pop. Parker is going through a bad patch. No D and uncharacteristic turnovers.

BTW why is Manu not getting any touches. :bang:bang

[howbouthemspurs]

whats up with the D?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sure, he got past him, but 9 times out of 10 you shouldn't post a bigger, stronger player because they will own your arse. You take a bigger guy outside and drive on him.


The shots itself was a gimme. The post up was not and is usually gonna end in a miss when it's against someone who's bigger than him.

I already said that, BTW. ;)

And I maintain that the shot was not a gimme - when you've used all your strength, balance and body control just to get to the rim like that, the shot is much more difficult than it looks. If you've played much in the post, and I've been a back-to-the-basket guy my whole life, you know what I mean.

We look tired and shithouse. Don't be surprised if we get blown out today - a let down the game after a huge game like the one against LAL often occurs.

[Shastafarian]

I wonder if we see Croshere at all tonight. I'm pretty sure I saw him suited up on the bench.

[sonic21]

too much J

[Reck]

We were up until TD went to the bench and then 76ers on a 17-5 run

We were up and losing the lead with Tim in.

Didn't make a lick of difference.

[howbouthemspurs]

where is the D?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

BTW guys, go take a look at our players and where they shoot well from - Manu is particularly interesting! He hits over 65% from anywhere inside the line on the left side, but can't hit 3s from that corner! :lol

http://www.nba.com/hotspots/

[JohnnySixString]

No energy at all, this needs to pick up or this athletic team will punch the spurs square in the mouth.

Seems they already done that. Now the Spurs need to start defending themselves.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 33333333333333

Oh my bad. Right I'm not saying in that situation it was a gimme shot but in general when the defender falls off and you're at the basket, it's a gimme. But the post up is precisely why he missed. He used up too much on the moves to get to the basket.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bonner gets a lot of bad calls on him. There was NOTHING in that.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great D Hill

[howbouthemspurs]

there it is...shot clock violation

[Spurs Brazil]

Thomas J!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu to Kurt is almost automatic now. :tu

[Spurs Brazil]

D looks good with Bruce, Hill and Manu

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 333333333333333333333333333333

:tu

:)

[Reck]

The crowd is not there for Philly. Spurs should take advantage of this.

[loveforthegame]

What's the lineup? Yahoo and sportsline seem iffy or not working.

[BruceBowenFan]

what bonner took it to the hole.

[Shastafarian]

:rollin

Matt Bonner does not wanna give up his spot to Croshere.

[JohnnySixString]

Jesus Christ, Bonner is the only one with balls enough to go to the basket!?

[howbouthemspurs]

BONNER w/ the Floater!

[scanry]

Hill D >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Parker D

[Spurs Brazil]

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

Spurs 10-0 run

2nd unit playing GREAT D and with a lot of energy

[Duncan2177]

Way to go Bonner

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

These announcers are suck wanker homers.

"...run him off the 3pt line and make him shoot that awkward shot..."

He obviously doesn't know Bonner. His running hook going right is pretty much money.

[timtonymanu]

haha. i laugh when Bonner throws up a floater.

[SpursFan0728]

bonner

[Shastafarian]

Hill D >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Parker D

Hill hasn't been on Miller.

[crc21209]

The Spurs, I mean Matt Bonner keying a run for the Spurs now lol. Spurs down only 2- 30-28

[DPG21920]

Hill to Kurt is money too. Kurt's j has been more than on. That is exactly what the Spurs expected when we got him. Same low post D as Fab, respectable offense.

[raspsa]

Bonner is playing with confidence.. showing his versatility with a 3 ball then putting it on the floor and a nice drive to the basket.. go Bonner!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Check out Bonner's hotspot. He is awful on the left side of the court, but money on the right, and 72.2% from 3 straight out front.

http://www.nba.com/hotspots/

[scanry]

Hill hasn't been on Miller.

At least Hill is contesting, Parker hasn't contested a shot in a while.

[JohnnySixString]

haha. i laugh when Bonner throws up a floater.

I *cringe* any time Bonner moves with the ball. He can do it, he just looks awkward as hell doing it, lol.

[BruceBowenFan]

:wow nice steal and dunk by hil

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill DUNK

[timtonymanu]

Hill with the dunk!

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill another great D

[timtonymanu]

Hill causes the Philly TO.

[Reck]

Tim got some ball skills.

[Spurs Brazil]

Why TD is with a knee brace?

[crc21209]

Fuck Philly lol.

[mattyc]

Nice run there by the Spurs.

[crc21209]

Snoooooooooooooze fest of a crowd

[Manufan909]

Fuck, my feed is slow!!!! ANd I laugh at all the haters that hate on Bonner even when he scores on his drives. We should applaud him actually having cajones.

[crc21209]

Geez talk about a foul on Tim- no call.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We look very much asleep.

Except for that drive by Bonner, has anyone else actually driven the ball yet? :rolleyes

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruce on Miller now

[kace]

how many times do they show this advertising with KG ?
that's crazy.... i'm sick of it.

[crc21209]

R u fkn kidding me? Thats a jump ball

[Reck]

Sixers are making the Spurs look like fools.

[howbouthemspurs]

Bonner shouldve dunked it

[crc21209]

Spurs are just bored as fuck, I would be too playing a mediocre team in a arena that might as well be a high school bball crowd.

[timtonymanu]

Jesus Christ, the Sixers are showing more hustle.

[raspsa]

76ers really hustling.. hopefully they get tired.. Spurs don't have that kind of energy specially after the Lakers game.

[Manufan909]

Has Manu done anything, cuz yahoo, has 0 for everything but minutes.

[crc21209]

Yup, fkn Mason assists Philly. Thats how its going tonight.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck

76ers 7-0 run

[JohnnySixString]

Spurs are just bored as fuck, I would be too playing a mediocre team in a arena that might as well be a high school bball crowd.

That's no reason to play like shit.
And they are playing like shit.

[mrsmaalox]

Snoooooooooooooze fest of a crowd

Is that what it is? I have to watch on League Pass tonight and the announcers are boring!! :lol

[Reck]

Spurs are gay.

[howbouthemspurs]

The D is lacking big time

[crc21209]

That's no reason to play like shit.
And they are playing like shit.


Just happens man, the energy isnt there right now.

[Spurs Brazil]

10-0 run, 76ers up 8

[Ice009]

FUCKING AWFUL SPURS just like that sixes almost get a 10 point lead again.

ARE THESE GUYS EVER GOING TO PROTECT THE THREE POINT LINE.

NO MORE FUCKING 3s FOR ANYONE AT ANY TIME.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Lord, as good as we looked the other day, we look totally horrible today. Sleepwalking.

Thankfully, they have 3 more notches to go up over this, but whether they'll find any of them today is the question.

[loveforthegame]

Only so many times you can crawl back. Spurs might think about that.

[sonic21]

where's the D?

[raspsa]

After taking the lead briefly the Spurs dig themselves into another hole.. maybe its just a case of unfamiliarity withthe Sixer's players and their type of play.. Defense or the lack thereof will make the difference, as usual.

[mrsmaalox]

Some Red Bull is in order!

[Death In June]

Put all the scrubs in.

[Manufan909]

Where's the energy, Spurs???

[Ice009]

Spurs fight back and just let Philly go off again.

I don't understand what the Spurs are doing. I missed the whole first quarter so I've seen the Spurs play well up until this run?

I read Parker was really bad again? What is wrong with TP? He needs to be benched if he's not interested.

[sonic21]

nice tim!!

[howbouthemspurs]

its raining tears!

[Spurs Brazil]

Finally TP going inside and scoring

[Yorae]

There you go TP.

[Shastafarian]

Spurs fight back and just let Philly go off again.

I don't understand what the Spurs are doing. I missed the whole first quarter so I've seen the Spurs play well up until this run?

I read Parker was really bad again? What is wrong with TP? He needs to be benched if he's not interested.

Him and Manu have been MIA

[howbouthemspurs]

mason again...good D

[Spurs Brazil]

Back to back great defense plays by Mason

[mrsmaalox]

Gawd the League Pass feed sucks.

[Yorae]

It pains me to see that duncan has not even attempted a layup.

[raspsa]

Ratliff showing what a shotblocker can do.. good job changing Spurs shots in the paint..

[howbouthemspurs]

Duncan can eat Ratliff alive!

[Spurs Brazil]

DMAN Manu

That was an easy one

[pawe]

Go Spurs Go!!!

[Shastafarian]

Manu looks absolutely terrible.

[Manufan909]

Anyone have a link to a good box score? NBA, ESPN, and yahoo are all sucking.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu and TP need to help TD

They're playing too passive

[Death In June]

This is close to being the most boring game of the season.

[timtonymanu]

Anyone have a link to a good box score? NBA, ESPN, and yahoo are all sucking.

forreal. it's pissing me off.

[pawe]

Will this be a down to the wire game again.

[mVp]

Are we trying to lose this game on purpose?? WTF?!?!

[Ice009]

lol forget about my ranting for a second. How's it going guys?

[Yorae]

Anyone have a link to a good box score? NBA, ESPN, and yahoo are all sucking.

I'm using sportsline and it's pretty good.

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gamecenter/live/NBA_20090116_SA@PHI

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Some Red Bull is in order!

Indeed! :lol


Him and Manu have been MIA

'He' and Manu my friend, he and Manu. :lol

[JohnnySixString]

The Spurs look like a bunch of hungover partiers forced to work. No real energy, no real focus and no real motivation to do the job even half-way well. Maybe they should take a quick power nap at halftime or something.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 33333333333333333333333333333

[pawe]

Yes Bonner 3!!!

[timtonymanu]

Bonner 333333333!

[Fundamental]

76ers look like they have something to prove, while the Spurs look like they are just going through the paces.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck

[loveforthegame]

I can't believe the game is as close as it is.

[pawe]

we gotta close this qtr strong if they want to stay with the sixers.

[Spurs Brazil]

76ers KILLING us on the boards

[Yorae]

Bonner keeping us in the game LOL!

[Ice009]

SPURS FUCKING SUCK.

the commentators ripping the shit out of the Bonner saying he can't rebound.

[howbouthemspurs]

incredible move by TONY!

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice pass Manu

[Shastafarian]

Indeed! :lol



'He' and Manu my friend, he and Manu. :lol

Fuck I hate the english.

[raspsa]

Spus showing signs of life.. Sixers hitting their 3s though.. just like Magic game

[pawe]

shit, when did the Sixers become the Magic in shooting threes?

[timtonymanu]

Jesus Christ, dont the Sixers suck at 3's? Why they making them now?

[Yorae]

Fuck Young.

[Ice009]

I SAID NO MORE FUCKING 3s Spurs geeez

[howbouthemspurs]

its raining 3s

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Manufan909]

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gamecenter/live/NBA_20090116_SA@PHI

Thanks, you're a lifesaver.

[mVp]

wow... fuck this game.

[Shastafarian]

That was lame.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That's 2 bullshit 3s they've hit to end 2 quarters.

:pctoss

[Yorae]

Mason!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Holy shit, they ended the quarter with a 3 again.

[Ice009]

OMG Teams hitting 3s like they're layups against the Spurs this season.

It's half the Spurs for letting them get shots off now they hit bullshit 3's

[Yorae]

Oh I am so late.

[howbouthemspurs]

Damn Ai

[Fundamental]

wtf damn it!!

[sonic21]

wtf

[Spurs Brazil]

76ers up 7 at the half, 6pts for Iggy at the buzzer

[timtonymanu]

Pop has to fuckin give these guys shit. They deserve it right now.

[Shastafarian]

I may be wrong but Bonner's rotations have been a big reason Philly has as many threes as they do.

[JohnnySixString]

Spurs are getting spanked and responding like pansies. They are fucking incredibly lucky to only be down 7. That was one shitty half.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fuck I hate the english.

That rule is easy - take away the "and Manu" and see if it works.

eg. Him and Manu are MIA

Him is MIA - NO

He is MIA - YES

See, not so tough. :)

[Ice009]

Man I'm so mad at the Spurs right now. I'd punch them in the face in the locker room if I was Pop and say NO MORE FUCKING 3s for anyone at anytime.

[mattyc]

Really need to get something out of Ginobili in the 2nd half.

[Fundamental]

Thumb wrestling on the half-time highlight reel??

[raspsa]

Mason with a great 3 but Iguodala hit an even greater 3 from halfcourt.. fortunately they both just count for 3.. if Spurs can't cool off the 76ers not gonna win thid game..

[Cane]

Craziness. Gotta love those half court shots.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I may be wrong but Bonner's rotations have been a big reason Philly has as many threes as they do.

Clear as day on that 3 with about a minute to go. however, I think everyone is missing rotations at the moment.

[Yorae]

CBS showing weird stuffs, looks like credit card numbers....

[JohnnySixString]

Clear as day on that 3 with about a minute to go. however, I think everyone is missing rotations at the moment.

Yeah, it's not just Bonner's D that's for shit so far tonight.

[Shastafarian]

That rule is easy - take away the "and Manu" and see if it works.

eg. Him and Manu are MIA

Him is MIA - NO

He is MIA - YES

See, not so tough. :)

See I was taught that rule for "I" and "me" but I never realized it would work with any pronouns.

[scanry]

I'm sick of teams out rebounding the Spurs game after game. Bonner you tool contest and block out you mofo.

Parker needs to share the ball more. He's isolating every fucking player on the Spurs of late.

Ginobili is playing great D on Miller. Leave him on Miller for the rest of the game Pop. Every opposing player is taking advantage of Parker's lack of D. He really needs to start practicing defensive drills.

I just feel for Duncan, he's doing everything he can, but the other player (Bonner you mofo) is not rotating. :bang:bang:bang

[Fundamental]

Clevland's yellow jerseys look flamingly dainty.

[45 bank shot]

why is our rebounding so shit??

[Yorae]

Wow Finley with -12.....

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

See I was taught that rule for "I" and "me" but I never realized it would work with any pronouns.

See, not only do we get to talk shit in the game blogs, we can learn something too! :D

:lmao

The second half will go one of two ways - we will come out a different team and gut out a 4-8pt win, or they will run all over us for a 10+ pt blowout. We shall see.

[Yorae]

No way will Philly shoot 75% from three all game.

[kace]

See, not only do we get to talk shit in the game blogs, we can learn something too! :D

:lmao

The second half will go one of two ways - we will come out a different team and gut out a 4-8pt win, or they will run all over us for a 10+ pt blowout. We shall see.

yes, we'll lose or we'll win. i agree.

[scanry]

why is our rebounding so shit??

What do you expect when we have Bonner trying to box out players. I think Bonner has a great trade value at the moment, and we should try to ship him out to get an athletic big.

We need to share the ball more, and that's our priority right now.

[Manufan909]

See, not only do we get to talk shit in the game blogs, we can learn something too! :D

:lmao

The second half will go one of two ways - we will come out a different team and gut out a 4-8pt win, or they will run all over us for a 10+ pt blowout. We shall see.

I predict a 9-11 pt W, let's see who is right!:lol

[Manufan909]

No way will Philly shoot 75% from three all game.

YES THEY WILL!!!

counter jinx

[Shastafarian]

yes, we'll lose or we'll win. i agree.

Why do you have sand in your vagina? You need to lighten up.

[Capt Bringdown]

Wish we had Ratliff, he's exactly what the Doctor ordered.

[milkyway21]

PHI 1.0
Andre Iguodala made 3-pt. Running Jump Shot

:huh??????

head-scratcher on this one :oops how can we let it happen?

[Spurs Brazil]

76ers 26rebs
Spurs 15rebs

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner bad pass and the a good J

[mrsmaalox]

Clevland's yellow jerseys look flamingly dainty.

Ilgauskas broke his ankle?

[mystargtr34]

yes, we'll lose or we'll win. i agree.

:lol

Spurs cant give this game away after getting the W against LA. The rebounding needs to pick up, the guards have to board as well when the big guys are boxing out.

[howbouthemspurs]

duncan should dunk it

[Yorae]

Dalembert a beast on rebounds.

[Spurs Brazil]

Young is killing Bonner

[mystargtr34]

Please can we get Bowen on Young.

Spurs just getting punked.

Not a good team at all the Spurs. Not a good team at all.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs getting killed inside once again

[Ice009]

I don't know what to say anymore.

This is the worst defensive Spurs team I've seen in 10 years. Shockingly bad.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I hate letdown games... :depressed

Now is the time to find an extra gear, or this game is over. I don't think they have it in them tonight though...

[Reck]

Sixers up by 11.

Spurs should play Lakers 82 times a year. Because they clearly suck ass against scrub teams.

[Ice009]

If Pop traded offense for defense he really fucked up.

So who likes that Croshere signing now?

What THE FUCK is Croshere supposed to help us with Pop?????????????????????????

Someone give me Pop's phone number or email address ;).

[raspsa]

Timmy's going to need some help.. can't win this game all by himself. The mmore the Spurs go to him to score, the more predictable they become to the D. Dalembert and Ratliff = 14feet of shotblocking defense!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruce and Ime in

[loveforthegame]

Maybe Ime can get something going.

[thekingrobert]

we need offense why is bowen out there?

[Shastafarian]

Maybe Ime can get something going.

You know things aren't going well when someone says this.

[loveforthegame]

We need defense. FUCKING DEFENSE. not offense. stops, no easy layups or open 3s is what we need.

[mystargtr34]
