Game Blog: Spurs At Warriors - April 13

[Texas_Ranger]

Vaughn really sucks.

[Thomas82]

We definately don't need Jacque Vaughn back next year, unless he's on the coaching staff.

[arodz]

Yes, the Timmy 3 vs Suns!!!!

[jmanu20]

Hey Pop, you're Old Mother Hubbard and only Vaughn's in the cupboard

LOL, I was just watching that the other night!

[Thomas82]

did JV just intentionally turn it over or does he suck really bad?

He just sucks!!

[Manufan909]

Those are 3 shots Hill could've taken!!!:bang

:flag:

[Solid D]

Vaughn is killing me with those bricks



thats like yelling at a baby for crying.

leave him alone.

:lmao Good one, Mugen

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

we're paying him 1.5 mil. don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Fair call.

You know he won't stay after this year though, right? Someone will overpay him to go elsewhere.

[Ice009]

Good game from the Spurs tonight. :).

[Spursfan092120]

I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE watching that playoff video of Timmy hitting that three and Manu hitting his shot over and over again..lol..you know it's another dagger in Suns fans hearts every time it happens.

[peskypesky]

Poor Jacque. Reminds me of NVE in his last season.

[Spursfan092120]

LET'S GO DENVER!! I want the 4 seed.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I think I'll take Randolph in the 4th/5th round in fantasy next year, he is going to be huge.

[Mugen]

the warriors are a good point guard, good coach, and a maggette trade away from being good.

[peskypesky]

Fair call.

You know he won't stay after this year though, right? Someone will overpay him to go elsewhere.

i know you're probably right, but i'm hoping that after he helps us win another trophy, the FO will find a way to keep him.

[ElNono]

You guys are watching our 3rd string PG. Just pray that we don't get both TP and Mason in foul trouble in the playoffs...

[alchemist]

wow Oberto's is a sad situation out there, he brings nothing to the table.

[Mugen]

i dont know why JV dressed 2nite, i would have loved to see what marcus could do in extended mins.

[underdawg]

we will rock you

[arodz]

Damn, they've been on 98 forever

[Texas_Ranger]

Omg!!!!!

[Biggems]

wow............Vaughn for 3 = my 2000th post

are you flippin kidding me

[arodz]

Ok, Vaughn scored. Now I can go to sleep.

[Libri]

Vaughn makes a 3 :wow

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

3 by JV!

In your faces, bitches!!! :lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

Fab is really done..he was good in the title run though, I appreciate his contribution..

it'll be interesting to see how Pop manages Hill's minutes vs. NO..

JACQUE VAUGHN WITH THE 3 FOR ALL YOUR HATERS!!..

[Spursmania]

lmao at JV hitting a 3!:lol

[will_spurs]

You know he won't stay after this year though, right? Someone will overpay him to go elsewhere.

That's not sure. First of all franchises aren't really rich right now. And second he looked like the kind of guy who wanted to stop somewhere for a bit more than the 3 weeks he's been used to so far.

Take into account that very few players left that the Spurs really wanted to keep. Actually I can't really think of any.

[Mugen]

3 by vaugh, im going to go shoot myself now everybody.

ive seen everything.

[timtonymanu]

Vaughn hit a 3!!??? WOW.

[Thomas82]

Whaaaaaaaat!! Vaughn made a 3??

[raspsa]

wow Oberto's is a sad situation out there, he brings nothing to the table.

Well he is coming back from his heart ailment.. at least we know he has a heart.

[Libri]

:flag:

[peskypesky]

Vaughan had more assists than Parker tonight!

[Spursmania]

Bring on the Rockets!

[Biggems]

:worthy:VAUGHN

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

i know you're probably right, but i'm hoping that after he helps us win another trophy, the FO will find a way to keep him.

My, you are an optimist!

I'd like to see him stay and sign cheap, but he's not that kind of guy. He'll go where the money is, and fair enough, he's got to feed his baby' momma... :lol

[superbigtime]

[Budkin]

fuck yeah... what a nice win!!!

[will_spurs]

Vaughan had more assists than Parker tonight!

As well as Udoka an Finley (among others) - that's not really conclusive :D

[SequSpur]

Dude has fucking game that is untapped.... come the fuck on already.....

:bang

[Thomas82]

wow............Vaughn for 3 = my 2000th post

are you flippin kidding me

How ironic!!

[will_spurs]

He'll go where the money is

Why do you say this?

[GSH]

+/- is relative to the game +/-, therefore +12 in a +35 game isn't really impressive.

It's not just that. The stat is meaningless. That last game we lost to OKC by 1 point? Finley was 5-16 and he was like a revolving door for people going to the rim. Duncan was 9-12 with 12 boards and 2 blocks. Both of them were +9.

When a "stat" doesn't tell you anything meaningful about the game, it's worthless. I wish they would just quit printing it anywhere.

[Juanobili]

word

[Thomas82]

Another impressive thing was Tim getting 16 and 13 in only 23 minutes, and Drew getting his 20 and 15 in 22 minutes.

[Biggems]

I like me some Anthony Randolph......he reminds me of a rookie Aldridge.

[Mugen]

tonight

ime: 0-5

george: 4-8

he wont play backup pg but give him udokas mins pop. do it.

also, were you in the chat room 2nite sequ, didnt see you?

[SA210]

Bruce Bowen: +22

Is this correct?


:flag:

[Thomas82]

Can't wait to see him prove your negative ass wrong!!! And 1.5 mil is enough for 3 babby momma's, so don't you worry about him.:king

Thing is, this franchise has made sacrifices for 2 straight years for the 2010 plan - that is, max capspace in 2010 - and I don't see them suddenly changing that behaviour now for Drew. He's a max MLE guy at least, so how do we pay him whilst sticking to the plan? We can't.

Like it or not, the Spurs are committed to a max FA in 2010, and that's just the way it is. It's cost us Scola amongst others, but this franchise sticks to their guns once they decide on something.

[alchemist]

Unfortunately there's a big possibility that Gooden may leave, he's what 28? He'll be looking for his last big payday and I can't blame him for that. Championships will not feed you nor your family.

[Mugen]

:lol

[DAF86]

Is this correct?


:flag:

After garbage time is +16

[SouthTexasRancher]

well, they are...

And it was good that Timmy only played 22 minutes tonight. Hopefully we put the Hornets away early Weds. night and Timmy plays even less.

[EricB]

Fab is really done..he was good in the title run though, I appreciate his contribution..

Spoken like someone with zero knowledge of the game of basketball.


You understand he's been sitting out for a couple weeks and these are his first MEANINGFULL minutes?

:rolleyes

Yup.

2010 plan + Gooden's last big paycheck = no Gooden beyond 2009.

If I'm wrong and he stays for no money, I'll be as happy as anyone, but logic says otherwise.

[Texas_Ranger]

SEQU is PINKED! :lol

[crc21209]

Alright guys...so let's see if this is right....

Wednesday April 15, 2008

Spurs win, Rockets lose= 3 seed Spurs vs. 6 seed Mavs

Spurs win, Rockets win, Blazers win= 4 seed Blazers vs. 5 seed Spurs

Spurs win, Rockets win, Blazers lose= 4 seed Spurs vs. 5 seed Blazers

Spurs lose, Rockets lose, Blazers lose= 4 seed Blazers vs. 5 seed Spurs

Any other scenarios?

:rolleyes

:rolleyes back at ya, T Park. You honestly think Fab is going to make a meaningful contribution after his efforts this year? C'mon, he's pretty much over the hill and gone.

Yes, he'll still play a few minutes here and there for fouls, but that's it. he's shown nothing to suggest that he'll ever be a major contributor again.

SMB...

[tomtom]

hope pop decides to play hill in the playoffs vaughn sucks major ass. too bad udoka decided to suck again, also what is SMB?

[ElNono]

thats only if the blazers lose too

spurs win, rockets lose, blazers win= Blazers 3, Spurs 4, Rockets 5. right?

Nope. If Spurs win and Rockets lose, Spurs clinch the #3 seed, regardless of Portland's record.

really, i thought that a division winner was only guaranteed a top 4 seed not a top 3?

[ElNono]

there i fixed it for u

You're wrong. If we win the division and tie with Portland record-wise, we get the higher seed by virtue of being the Division winner while Portland is not the winner of their own division.

[ElNono]

you dont want to know.

The division champion overrides the tiebreaker with any non division champion when the records are equal. Portland would get the better seed only if they had a better record.

[Mugen]

do you have a website where you got this?

i got this from nba.com:

The top four seeds will be the three division winners plus the team with the next best record. Those four will be ordered by record (and tiebreakers if needed), so it's possible that two teams in the same division could hold the top two spots, with the other two division winners at Nos. 3 and 4.

Tiebreakers
(1) Head-to-head
(2) Division record (if the teams are in the same division)
(3) Conference record
(4) Record vs. Playoff teams, own conference
(5) Record vs. Playoff teams, other conference
(6) Net points, all games

i dont see where a the division winner would take precedent in a situation where two teams have equal records. if portland and sa have identical records then the first tiebreaker would be head to head which portland wins.

:lol Its not that complicated at this point. Here's another article explaining that the SW division champion will get the #3 seed if they tie record wise with Portland:

http://www.oregonlive.com/nba/index.ssf/2009/04/tiebreaker_scenarios_make_for.html

[alchemist]

59 rebounds for the Spurs :wow :lobt2:

[crc21209]

Thanks ElNono. You are correct. Spurs win and Rockets loss= Division title and # 3 seed for the Spurs, regardless of whether Portland wins or loses.

[Rebounds]

59 rebounds for the Spurs :wow :lobt2:

YES.....it's why I picked the name REBOUNDS!!!
We can always use them.

[spursfan1000]

I didnt watch the game but its good to see that Hill got some good minutes. The game was kind of late for me.

[SpursDynasty]

20 points 15 boards for Gooden

[spursfan1000]

Only if the Spurs wouldent have lost 1 more game we wouldent be in this tie breaker.

[Spursmania]
