If they lose this, no way do they deserve a championship :rolleyes

[TDfan2007]

Goddamnit! Sean's not announcing :pctoss

[TDfan2007]

Tim looking very aggressive out there

[TDfan2007]

Spurs are showing 0 effort on D.

[Slo spurs fan]

Will-some-fucking-one hit something or what?? :pctoss

[exstatic]

Land and Blanks again. :vomit

Rasho looks pretty sharp, so far.

[Slo spurs fan]

4-13 FG
1-4 FT
0-2 3 FG

:depressed

[boutons]

vbookie: will Spurs score in double figures in the first quarter?

this sucks, FGs, and FTs missed. blech

[TDfan2007]

Tim with a nice move to beat the double team :fro

[Duff McCartney]

Nice move by Devin.

[boutons]

jeez, Tony has touch of stone on his FTs. must be the worst FT shooting form in the NBA. no fingertip control, no full arm extension and follow throu, absolute crap, with a FT %age to match.

[exstatic]

Devin Brown is the best athlete the Spurs have had in at least 20 years.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

jeez, Tony has touch of stone on his FTs. must be the worst FT shooting form in the NBA. no fingertip control, no full arm extension and follow throu, absolute crap, with a FT %age to match.

Paging AHF to the white courtesy phone.

[TDfan2007]

Tim is missing some pretty easy shots

Devin owns!

[TDfan2007]

Holy Shit What A Dunk By Devin!!!!!!!!

[exstatic]

Note to Beno. Play off of Knight, and just stay in front of him. He's not a great jump shooter, but he's deadly from the FT line, and you've put him there twice already. Stop it.

[TDfan2007]

Okafur is playing great D on TIm

[exstatic]

Tony is fucking unstoppable on the break. Tim was sharp during his first rotation, bu hasn't looked good since he came back in.

[Rummpd]

Since I have been listening in Spurs on a tear!

[Manu20]

Nice first half by the Spurs. 14 assists to 3 turnovers=good.

[exstatic]

Their defense was not sharp, however.

[Manu20]

They got to make some free throws though (8-14) and 3 pointers (0-6).

[1Parker1]

Tony is 2-6 on FT's. Not good. Maybe he should try the one-handed FT like Rasho....or ask Tim for advice since his FT's have improved lately.

[exstatic]

OMG! :lmao Tim outlets to...Rasho? WTF?!?

[ducks]

spurs have 3 players with 5 rebounds each
spurs need to rebound better
horry has 4

[ducks]

horry has 6 now

[exstatic]

NICE STUFF by Mohammed to end the 3rd.

[Manu20]

Mohammed!!!with a nice dunk to beat the buzzer.

[ducks]

6 rebounds for nazr
can he be the leading rebound tonight??????

[ducks]

glover sighting

[milkyway21]

Mohammed!!!with a nice dunk to beat the buzzer...even Nazr can't make those free throws anymore :rolleyes . is free throw shooting contagious? :lol . But nice stats 6pts 5 rbds, on limited time...


:sleep :sleep :sleep

[ducks]

11:23 SA - Layup by T. Duncan. Assist: D. Glover :elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant

[ducks]

duncan now has 6 rebounds

[exstatic]

Glover should have had another assist, too. I can't remember seeing Timmy miss so many bunny layups in one game.

Glover notes: He doesn't look afraid or tentative at all. He cocked back and let fly that three with confidence. He also had a nice drive and almost had a dunk.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Glover looks like a nice little find here for the Spurs staff.

Great block on Hart on the fast break.

[exstatic]

Glover, a steal and draws a foul. Defends Hart on a breakaway, a block.

Good pickup.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Nazr stuffs Carroll cold at the rim on the break. DAYUMN!

[Rummpd]

Dominant win, nice!

[exstatic]

Another steal for The Glover

[Manu20]

Glover is looking good. He should have 4 or 5 assist already.

[ChumpDumper]

Glover should have four dimes at this point.

[ChumpDumper]

ok, five.

[ducks]

horry 9 rebounds
nazr with 7

[ducks]

nazr 8 rebounds

[ducks]

damm GLOVER has 4 rebounds :elephant

[Manu20]

Nazr is a true Spur 1-4 from the line.
He has had a good game with 7 points 8 rebounds and 2 blocks.

[milkyway21]

Rasho=glued on the bench :wtf Pops?

[ChumpDumper]

Gotta give Nazr the pt

[milkyway21]

Nazr is a true Spur 1-4 from the line.
He has had a good game with 7 points 8 rebounds and 2 blocks.:lol

& those offensive rbds. i think he made 3?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

PJ said on the pregame radio show tonight that they wanted to get Nazr some good run tonight, don't worry about Rasho not playing much.

[exstatic]

OK, Wilks, Kiwi (Marks), and LJ III on IR. Is that how it stays for the playoffs?

[Manu20]

PJ said on the pregame radio show tonight that they wanted to get Nazr some good run tonight, don't worry about Rasho not playing much.

Don't forget about Horry he has been playing great including tonight.

[milkyway21]

Glover didn't have a turnover?

BTW, Lakers/Minny lost. Suns are struggling vs. Richardson/Davis' GS.
looks like Denver is IN in the WC, folks.

[T Park]

I would Ex, Im gonna hold out judgement after a couple games before I judge him, but, what I saw tonight was pretty good.

They could use a shooter though, sure as hell aint Brent Barry.

[milkyway21]

PJ said on the pregame radio show tonight that they wanted to get Nazr some good run tonight, don't worry about Rasho not playing much...ok. just got worried that Rasho turned "awful" 'gain. :lol

I get it, he's getting ready for Detroit. :rolleyes

[milkyway21]

yesterday i was "Dion Glover, WHO?"

now, I like what i saw. Nice defensive play.

[TDfan2007]

Tim didn't look very good out there after the 1st quarter = no exploseveness.

I hope he didn't get injured again. :depressed

[T Park]

Id say it was more, apathy than explosiveness.

That had to have been a tough game to get up for tonight.

[exstatic]

Tim also missed some close up shots, one when a Bobcat player clearly pushed him with two hands. No foul called, of course, which may have been a mercy, since SA shot 13-25 FTs. :lol On the other hand, Timmy wasn't the big culprit, getting only two attempts and making one.

[milkyway21]

BTW, is Alexander, a former Spurs had some tension w/ Pops?

here's a story that puzzled me:

Alexander finds way back to S.A.: Cory Alexander was just about halfway through the 1997-98 season with the Spurs when Popovich, then doubling as general manager, called him into his office to tell him he was waiving him.

"He compared me to Avery (Johnson)," said Alexander, who played eight minutes for the Bobcats Friday night. "Avery had all those struggles to get into the NBA, and Pop told me I'd never had any turmoil; never had to go through any fire to play in the league. He reminded me I came out of college a first-round pick and all that.

"Well, I've definitely seen the other side now." :rolleyes
