Spurs vs Olympiacos Piraeus Oct 9th - Game blog

[ginobili fan]

refresh pleaseeeee

[Chieflion]

I like how G. Hill is playing; lots of confidence and nice speed!
Wait. How are you seeing this shit?

[ginobili fan]

I like how G. Hill is playing; lots of confidence and nice speed!

How can you say that? Are you watching the game?:downspin::downspin::downspin:

[Riverwalkman]

Is Papaloukas too slow to guard Hill？

[loveforthegame]

Thanks for the updates. :tu

Sounds like everyone is contributing in one way or another.

[ginobili fan]

I like how Finley is playing; lots of confidence on shooting and not bad D at all

[Flux451]

How can you say that? Are you watching the game?:downspin::downspin::downspin:

I think Milo is holding out.

[ginobili fan]

I like how Mcdyess is playing; good defensive presence and a very nice shooting flow.

[Interrohater]

I like how Blair is playing, he's showing more lateral quickness.

[siraulo23]

:lol

[Blackjack]

From the WTF department..

A-Rod hit a 2-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game.:wow

...Timmy with his tenth point.

And Manu threw the ball out of bounds, behind-the-back, to be more specific, when Pop wanted them to hold for the last shot.:lol

[Spurs Brazil]

exjetsguy: Pop in midseason screaming form. Upset at Manu and Tony for not holding for one shot as half closes out.

:lmao:lmao:lmao

[Dex]

66-46 Spurs at the Half.

[Libri]

Spurs up by 20 and Pop is mad. hehe

[Spurs Brazil]

spurs: We're at the half, Spurs 66 and Olympiacos 46

[Blackjack]

Spurs shooting 63% at half.

66-46

[Interrohater]

This is so much crap. I even bought a Hava unit (like a slingbox) and had my brother hook it up at his house. I can watch KENS 5 Eyewitness news with Chris Marrou, but I still haven't seen an effin Spurs game yet

[Chieflion]

Olympiacos has 46 points. That is poor defense right there.

thanks i appreciate man:toast

[Interrohater]

HAHA! What a halftime show! Oh man, I love that

[siraulo23]

Olympiacos has 46 points. That is poor defense right there.

indeed

[NRHector]

I put the internet in my Recycle Bin. How do I redownload it?
right click on it may be?

[Riverwalkman]

I like how Blair is playing, he's showing more lateral quickness.
Good news, so he's capable of playing decent D.

[Milo]

Tony!

[Pauleta14]

Jeff McDonald: Spurs are ahead 66-46 at half. Parker had 12 points, Duncan 10, Hill 10

[Dex]

:lmao Matt Bonner +20 for the first half.

[ginobili fan]

Tony yeah baby waht a play by TPPPPP

[dikaios7]

May i ask you something guys? You tell about European flopping but until now you have 22 free throws and we have 4

[timaios]

Good news, so he's capable of playing decent D.

He was joking, Blair didn't play.

[Milo]

Tony yeah baby waht a play by TPPPPP

:lol

[Dex]

I think Manu's bald spot looks like it's getting bigger.

[ginobili fan]

May i ask you something guys? You tell about European flopping but until now you have 22 free throws and we have 4

This is NBA baby:toast

[Pauleta14]

Tony yeah baby waht a play by TPPPPP

What did he do?

[ChumpDumper]

May i ask you something guys? You tell about European flopping but until now you have 22 free throws and we have 4I think Olympiacos might be fouling more than the Spurs.

[mazerrackham]

I didn't read through this whole thread, as I just got here, but does anybody have a streaming link? pm me if possible, thanks :toast

[JustinJDW]

I am looking at the boxscore and I live what I see. Manu 3-5. Jefferson 2-2. Parker 6-8. This is good.

Why aren't we playing Blair or Hairston though?

[Riverwalkman]

Not bad defense. Two teams are just not in the same level, And from that I think Spurs with this roster could win a Olympic champion.

[Flux451]

May i ask you something guys? You tell about European flopping but until now you have 22 free throws and we have 4

It's called good defense

[Interrohater]

May i ask you something guys? You tell about European flopping but until now you have 22 free throws and we have 4
Well, we have the NBA's greatest flopper, and many other players who have played in Europe, so there you go. We're just better at it.

[Spurs Brazil]

Jeff McDonald: Haislip has looked a little better all-around tonight. He's made a couple basketball plays, including a nifty pass to somebody (I forget who right now) for a layup earlier

[Blackjack]

I didn't read through this whole thread, as I just got here, but does anybody have a streaming link? pm me if possible, thanks :toast

Well, if you had, you'd know that you just posted some comedy gold.:tu

[Pauleta14]

Jeff McDonald: And Tony Parker has been, by far, the best player on either team. It's not even close.

[anakha]

May i ask you something guys? You tell about European flopping but until now you have 22 free throws and we have 4

You wouldn't happen to use Comcast, would you?

[BlackBellamy]

Is that surprising? Matt Bonner had the best +/- on the Spurs last season. Yes, for the entire year.

And only one greek player in the +. And he has a +1, beautiful. Bonner = better than all Olympiacos combined.

[duncan228]

You wouldn't happen to use Comcast, would you?

:lol

Always glad to unwittingly provide comedy :lol

[Blackjack]

Looks like Tim might be done for the night..

[angelbelow]

Hill's playing well.. according to boxscore =p

[Blackjack]

Hill, Ginobili, Bonner, Ratliff, and RJ.

Baby Shaq with a couple of buckets to start the half; 66-51

[Libri]

reverse layup for Hill

[bigbendbruisebrother]

The Greek players don't look nearly as swarthy as I'd expected. I was picturing Michael Dukakis.

[Manufan909]

Why aren't Blair or Hairston getting any love? Come on Pop!!!

[Blackjack]

Sloppy start for the Spurs..

Olympiacos' 7-0 run stopped by a Hill layup, but Kleiza answers with a two of his own.

[Spurs Brazil]

Ben, spurs.com: 68-57.... Olympiacos going to the line for 1....

[Libri]

10 point Spurs lead

[loveforthegame]

It's disappointing but not surprising that some guys are not playing. Pop usually sits different guys in the preseason. It's nothing against Blair and Hairston or what they did or didn't do last game. Just there turn to sit I'm sure.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

I wonder why Pop hasn't played Yawn. Isn't he supposed to be proving himself?

[Interrohater]

Dabeast Blair is in!

[Spurs Brazil]

Ben, spurs.com: Blair checking in

[Libri]

Blair is in

[Chieflion]

Allright. Grab some boards and push the lead back to 20.

[Pauleta14]

Jeff McDonald: And now Blair makes his first appearance to a nice ovation

[loveforthegame]

Ok, so Pop makes a liar out of me and Blair gets to play tonight. :lol

[Blackjack]

Baby Shaq getting to the line and cut the lead to ten, but Hill hit a step-back deuce.

Mason in for Manu.

[Chieflion]

Finally, Blair and Mason are in.

[ginobili fan]

Season is over for Ian.

[NoOptionB]

you could really hear the crowd on woai radio when blair went in

[duncan228]

Jeff McDonald: Spurs 71, Greek Adonises 58 with 5:36 to go in the 3rd. Hill leading the Spurs with 15 points and playing a very nice game, except for a few defensive lapses in the first half

[Milo]

Blair rebound; that was fast...

[TIMMYD!]

Go BEAST!

[Blackjack]

'Dyess, Mason, Hill, Jefferson, and Blair on the floor.

71-58

Malik sheds the warmups; but not for any unsavory lude acts..

[Pauleta14]

12 - 0 start ??!!! WTF!!

[Chieflion]

We are counting on Richard Jefferson now. Take over.

[Interrohater]

That was a very gay thing for McDonald to say "Greek Adonises"

[Libri]

Hairston is in

[Blackjack]

Bubba's in!:elephant

[ginobili fan]

Bubba's in!:elephant

who is booba

[Riverwalkman]

Pop said those preseason games is all about evaluation, so I think Blair had impressed Pop so he sits.

[Manufan909]

Yay, the two people I was bitching for are in!!! And I hope Ian gets put in with 6 to go in the third. Even if he doesn't get taken out of the lineup the rest of the game, he'll foul out.:lol

[Chieflion]

That was quick. Blair at the line.

[Pauleta14]

Pop said those preseason games is all about evaluation, so I think Blair had impressed Pop so he sits.

so why Ian isn't playing at all?

[Libri]

Hairston blocks Childress

[Chieflion]

so why Ian isn't playing at all?
Ian has proven he sucks.

[ginobili fan]

Ian has proven he sucks.

:lol

[Blackjack]

B. Scho going nuts on a terrible goaltend by Childress, perpetrated on Hill, that wasn't called.

Wafer with a dunk the other way.

Blair hits 2 freebies.

Hairston with a huge block and Jerrells is in the game; just hit a jumper.

Bogans set to come in.

[4RINGS]

I think Manu's bald spot looks like it's getting bigger.

He should just go with the KoJack look...:lol:lol

[NoOptionB]

Blair, Jefferson, Hill, Healthy Manu = Spurs actually shooting free throws...? :lol

[ginobili fan]

wake up Iannnnnnn

[Interrohater]

Ian has proven he sucks.
at least to most of us

[Blackjack]

who is booba

That'd be my boy Hairston..

[4RINGS]

Ian has proven he sucks.


REALLY??? :bang:bang

[ginobili fan]

that's not fair. the guy never played one quarter in nba

[anakha]

I'm going to start calling Blair Debo, because he's got retard strength and retard intellect.

So the owner's a drunk, the GM's a cocksucker, and the rookie's a retard. Got it.

[Pauleta14]

Ian has proven he sucks.

:lol

I'm afraid that's exctly what Pop thinks...

[Chieflion]

Even Jerrells is doing something, Ian better try to impress Pop during practice.

[Riverwalkman]

so why Ian isn't playing at all?
Maybe his evaluation is over too, by impressing Pop in an opposite way.

Keep 'em comin! see if it's possible to get both ends of the court, pls

[Blackjack]

Olympiacos outrebounding the Spurs..

Let's see if Blair can remedy.

[ezau]

How is Blair handling Big Sofo? How about Borousis?

[xellos88330]

Sounds like Hairston has the system figured out on the offensive end.

[Libri]

Seems like Hairston is doing some good plays.

[Blackjack]

'Dyess, Blair, Jerrells, Hairston, Bogans

79-66

Malik with a sweet pass to Blair for the lay-in and Jerrells had a nice one to 'Dyess for a layup.

Malik with a drive and finish.

[xellos88330]

Havent heard any rebounding, but he is getting to the line.

[dikaios7]

27 free throws for Spurs, 6 for Olympiakos. Oh that's great

[Riverwalkman]

we've got 27 free throws ,is there too much homecourt whistle?

[anakha]

So the owner's a drunk, the GM's a cocksucker, and the rookie's a retard. Got it.


That pretty much sums it up, yes.


Gee, I wonder why you've gotten banned several times already...

[anakha]

27 free throws for Spurs, 6 for Olympiakos. Oh that's great

Know any relatives in Mountain View, Arkansas?

[Blackjack]

'Dyess at the line, 0-2 but gets his own rebound.

Jerrells turns it over with 4 seconds to go and Beverly gets a drive to the basket turned away from my boy Bubba; but if he keeps swattin' and crushin' fools, I might have to start callin' him Bam-Bam.:lol

[dikaios7]

Check out this sick pass from Papaloukas

[4RINGS]

So Holt isn't a drunk? R.C. Buford doesn't look gay? And Blair isn't incredibly stupid?

Truth?????:blah

[Samr]

[Insert team here] is outrebounding the Spurs..

Let's see if Blair can remedy.

I have the feeling we'll be thinking that a lot this season.

[anakha]

So Holt isn't a drunk? R.C. Buford doesn't look gay? And Blair isn't incredibly stupid?

The prosecution rests, your Honor. No further questions.

[Interrohater]

wtf? that was like 3 rebounds for them

[Thompson]

Not much luck with the driving; I think the clouds are interfering with the signal. I heard snippets (Malik had an impressive-sounding block), but it kept cutting in and out. This is really annoying.

[Libri]

Blair with two free throws

[Libri]

Blair now with 9 points

[Blackjack]

Jerrells, Mason Hairston, Haislip, Blair

87-73

Blair 9pts. in 9min. 5-7 from the line.

[Interrohater]

Not much luck with the driving; I think the clouds are interfering with the signal. I heard snippets (Malik had an impressive-sounding block), but it kept cutting in and out. This is really annoying.
sorry homie, ur just gonna have to suffer with the rest of us. It's strange tho, I've been able to hear WOAI all the way from Idaho to Montana and I heard it regularly in Colorado

Hello!

I am from Greece and fan of Olympiakos. I hope that we will have a good game. I see that you underestimate my team. You shouldn't..... Olympiakos was the king of Europe back in the 90's (last European championship at 1997). Anyway we are back for good now because we have 2 rich prezidents that spend million dollars every year. This year we will crush our big rival Panathinaikos and we will take everything in Europe

Before that, we will crush your team Spurs. I have nothing against you but let's face it. Olympiakos is a better team. We have the best 6th player in nba Josh Childress, 2 good nba players(Wafer,Kleiza), one good center(Bourousis) and great European guards(Papaloukas etc).

All these are good players but mark my words....YOU WILL WITNESS a beast destroying your team. His name is Sofoklis Schortsianitis. He had weight problems in the past but now he is back. He lost 50 kilos and put a lot of muscles.

This is his last game(1 month ago) against Slovenia for Eurobasket(Greece won the bronze medal).

After he is done with Duncan he will destroy this overrated player Shaq(3 days after)

[Spurs Brazil]

Hairston 2blks already

[Blackjack]

Hairston making the crowd ooh and awe with another block, but Blair called for a foul that cancelled it out.

[anakha]

Schortsianitis is completely destroying Duncan, alright. :lol

[dikaios7]

Sofo beasting up against Spurs with 16 points

[Riverwalkman]

Why not play Ian at allll?

[angelbelow]

Nice to see Malik and Dejuan in.

[Libri]

Williams is in.

[duncan228]

Jeff McDonald: Blair played most of the third quarter. He had 40 rebounds.


Jeff McDonald: Baby Shaq vs. Blair is a cool matchup. I think it registered on the Richter scale

[Indazone]

Is there a live feed for this game cause I just surfed all the P2P links and nothing.

[Blackjack]

Mason with a buzzer-beater.

89-75.

[ginobili fan]

pop is sending a message to Ian:

[Interrohater]

I'll admit theyre a decent team, but to say that they're going to destroy the Spurs is kind of silly. There's a reason that so many players want to play in the NBA when there's so much more money elsewhere.

[anakha]

I already plead guilty to speaking the truth.

Meh, Nicholson did that bit better.

5j2F4VcBmeo

[Indazone]

Sofo is having a good game? I knew he would be a force if he lost all that weight.

[Blackjack]

Ian enters the game for Blair.

[bigdog]

Finally Ian goes in.

[Libri]

Ian is now in

[The Great Fantastic]

How does Hairston not make this team? He might need to tone it down at times but he can do it all.

[ChumpDumper]

I like the fact they are sponsored by an elemental force. That's got to come in handy.

[4RINGS]

Why not play Ian at allll?

Cause he is too thin for Sofo...

[Chieflion]

In other news, Elton Brand scored a game winner for the 76ers against the Nets with 7 seconds left on the clock.

[Blackjack]

89-80

Beverly hit a 3.

[Milo]

Is there a live feed for this game cause I just surfed all the P2P links and nothing.

welcome in hell!

[Blackjack]

91-83

[Indazone]

:(

[Chieflion]

The scoring drought is still apparent. I am not happy with the results.

[Interrohater]

I like the fact they are sponsored by an elemental force. That's got to come in handy.
Yea, I was thinking the same thing. I was like "Mother Nature advertises with them? That's a great sponsorship, but useless in an arena"

[Blackjack]

Baby Shaq with his 5th foul on Ian.

Mason with a 3 than a steal and a break-away dunk..

[Libri]

Mason steals the ball and scores

[dikaios7]

Baby Shaq with his 5th foul on Ian.

Mason with a 3.

Spurs fans in the stadium saw that on matrix and laughed. Respect

That was obviously a good clear defence

Thanks for the montage.

Is there a live feed for this game cause I just surfed all the P2P links and nothing.

Spurstrodamus has one. PM him for it.

[Indazone]

Looks like about a 10 pt loss for Olympiacos if this keeps up.

[anakha]

Nicholson is another "cocksucker", as you like to say.


Cry more please. By the way, is R.C.'s last name Holt? Holt is the alcoholic, R.C. is the cocksucker. Let's not get it twisted.

Come again?

[Spurs Brazil]

Jeff McDonald: Roger Mason is going to singlehandedly seal the game. Hit a big 3-ball, then went coast-to-coast for a dunk. Spurs 96, Greeks 83. 5:40 to play in the game.

[Milo]

Blair only one rebound? :depressed

[Blackjack]

96-83; just under 6 to go.

[Spurs Brazil]

Jeff McDonald: Whoa. Tim just turned down an offer of a cherry lifesaver from press row. They're normally his favorite. Says he's watching his weight.

[Indazone]

Blair could foul out too. He has 4 PF's.

[Interrohater]

Spurs fans in the stadium saw that on matrix and laughed. Respect

That was obviously a good clear defence
lol, come on man, relax. 99% of the Spurs fans in that arena have no idea who he is. 89% of the fans in that arena are nothing more than Spurs fans, not even paying attention to the rest of the NBA, much less an overseas team.

Greek team shooting about 10% less efficiently than Spurs.

I'm just surprised, given their prior history, that it wasn't Marcus-E or Haislip-E..

That song was actually in Spanish, btw

Ian fouled hard and uninjured!:elephant

1-2 from the line.

Mahinmi grabs the next defensive rebound.

1:35 remaining, 106-89

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Will Ian make the team??:rolleyes

I'm rooting for the guy, but at some point, someone is going to trot out the adjective "serviceable" and his indoctrination into the hall of underachieving post 5-0 centers will be complete. He's like a beastier yet more fragile Rasho at this point.

[Interrohater]

Haislip, Hairston, Ratliff, Jerrells...this is why I said getting B. Barry back is reasonable.
I don't see how those relate. We already have 3 stand-still shooters

[Blackjack]

That song was actually in Spanish, btw

Some things shouldn't mix..

I am talking about levels of suckage and how Barry is better.

[Interrohater]

Hairston and Ratliff? Come on man, be reasonable

Not surprised you'd be amused.

Hello!

I am from Greece and fan of Olympiakos. I hope that we will have a good game. I see that you underestimate my team. You shouldn't..... Olympiakos was the king of Europe back in the 90's (last European championship at 1997). Anyway we are back for good now because we have 2 rich prezidents that spend million dollars every year. This year we will crush our big rival Panathinaikos and we will take everything in Europe

Before that, we will crush your team Spurs. I have nothing against you but let's face it. Olympiakos is a better team. We have the best 6th player in nba Josh Childress, 2 good nba players(Wafer,Kleiza), one good center(Bourousis) and great European guards(Papaloukas etc).

All these are good players but mark my words....YOU WILL WITNESS a beast destroying your team. His name is Sofoklis Schortsianitis. He had weight problems in the past but now he is back. He lost 50 kilos and put a lot of muscles.

This is his last game(1 month ago) against Slovenia for Eurobasket(Greece won the bronze medal).

After he is done with Duncan he will destroy this overrated player Shaq(3 days after)

Spurs reunite Big Three in 107-89 preseason win (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-olympiakos-spurs&prov=ap&type=lgns)
By Paul J. Weber

Tony Parker scored 12 points in his preseason debut and the San Antonio Spurs gave the first full glimpse of their overhauled roster in a 107-89 victory over Olympiakos in an exhibition game Friday night.

Tim Duncan had 10 points and Manu Ginobili added seven in the first time San Antonio’s Big Three played together since Ginobili’s season-ending ankle injury last April.

Richard Jefferson, the marquee addition for the Spurs in a busy offseason, had four points.

Josh Childress scored 15 points for Olympiakos, the Greek club that lured the former Atlanta Hawks star with a three-year, $20 million deal last year.

George Hill led the Spurs with 15 points and Roger Mason added 10.

Sofoklis Schortsanitis, a giant 310-pounder from Greece, had 12 points for Olympiakos.

Wearing a bulky brace on his left knee, Duncan grabbed five rebounds in 16 minutes but never left the bench after halftime. After Duncan broke down late last season with knee problems, the Spurs are taking it easy with the 33-year-old.

Parker also sat out the second half after going 6 of 8 from the field and handing out three assists in 15 minutes. Coming off a career year last season, Parker was his usual speedy self after giving the Spurs a brief scare when he sprained his ankle playing for France this summer.

Antonio McDyess, who left Detroit for San Antonio in the offseason, had four points and five rebounds in his Spurs debut.

McDyess and Jefferson headlined an overhauled roster in San Antonio, which let go six players from last season’s team that was knocked out in the first round of the playoffs.

All of the newcomers played Friday, including one stretch that included the biggest pieces—Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Jefferson and McDyess—on the floor together.

Childress, starting his second season in Greece, was 6 of 12 from the field and had seven rebounds. The Hawks will again retain the NBA rights to Childress after next season, and Childress has said he was open to a return to Atlanta where he played four seasons.

Olympiakos will play a final exhibition against an NBA team on Monday at Cleveland.

Hey man, I can appreciate that you're a huge fan of your team and you get pissed off when they lose, but relax, it's one game. I'm sure the Spurs would be plastered all over the walls in your stadium. Now then. Good game.

So what happened when the Spurs trained in France and played 4 Euro and destroyed them all?

The Spurs could go over to Europe and play under Euro rules and still come out on top. In fact, the US is always making the adjustment when going to international play and it didn't seem to matter last year, and most years at that since 92.

But god forbid a Euro team come to the US and have to make the adjustment for once.

The fact is, the true world champions are from the NBA because the best talent in the world comes to the NBA to play and therefore, affords the best competition around.

I always said that if the Spurs team that won the title in 2007 played against Argentina, complete with Gino and Oberto clones (like in a video game, exact clones) the Spurs would have crushed Argentina because they were truly a team just like Argentina, thus negating any chemistry advantage the Argentinian national team had over the US.

[Blackjack]

A recap of Bill Schoening's post-game interviews with George Hill and Brett Brown:


George Hill


What did he work on over the summer?

A lot of work with Chad and Chip. Chad Forcier really helped with the point-guard aspect of the game and Chip completely reconstructed his shot. He did a lot of game situation-type drills to get better at the point and a particular one-handed shooting drill to improve his technique.


How does he work on his defense?

Well, chasing Tony around gives you all the practice you could want. He really couldn't ask for a more challenging point-guard to have to defend and Tony's a big reason in his overall improvement.


And what about having to guard 2's?

It's really the same thing, only it's a guy named Manu that provides the tutoring. He has no idea how Manu is able to move and contort his body the way he does or how to know what to expect from moment to moment.

He's even been learning to defend some of the bigger players by taking a crack at the likes of RJ on occasion.


How many shots do you shoot a day in order to improve?

Sometimes 500, Sometimes 1000. There are some days where he'll shoot maybe 300. In the end, it's not really about the number as much as the quality and feel you get from a session; it might be as little as even 50.


Brett Brown


On George Hill:

Chip and Chad deserve a lot of credit and you're starting to see both of their and Georgie's work paying off.

He's got a great body and a little bit of a Bowen quality defensively. We're not afraid to play him against 2's with Tony on the court.


On DeJuan Blair:

He just looks and act like he belongs. He's got a real unusual body and you don't know how someone develops the way he did. But it's definitely got something to do with instincts that you just can't teach.


On what the team needs to work on moving forward:

They need to get the house in order for defensive rules, rules that cater to and compliment players like Theo and the other veterans. They've just got to keep building on getting back to that defensive team they've been known to be.
