11/6 - Spurs @ Trailblazers Game blog

[Chomag]

lol at people dogging Finley for every play, when he did not even start and the team was down double digits and getting owned.

IF you scroll up you will see that Finely is not the only one getting the blame.

[ElNono]

Blair should be there instead of Fin. We stop the small ball and Tim gets help on the boards.

[bdictjames]

Richard Jefferson has a -17 right now.

[mattyc]

Yuck...

[Riverwalkman]

Small ball and Mason playing PG

and Finley mismatch with Aldridge, nice job Pop.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Time to trade Bonner, Finley and Mahinmi for Jax.

I could live with smallball with Jax at the 4.

[hsxvvd]

Is it wrong to wish Finley would get hit by a truck?

[Josepatches_]

Small Small Smalll ball

Blair,Ratliff,McDyess? It's better to play with Duncan and 4 guards around him

[DPG21920]

Spurs get beat to every loose ball. They don't seem to react at all. Blair hustles and gets there.

[angelbelow]

Hopefully we take advantage of our open shots..

[slick'81]

there u go rj

[DPG21920]

Get big rj.

[mattyc]

Any chance we could pass the ball to that tall dude wearing number 21?

[Das Texan]

is there some reason bogans hasnt played this period?

[HarlemHeat37]

Finley can't do anything there, he's just too slow to rotate..

[Doug Collins]

finley with another stellar rotation

[hsxvvd]

Finley again.

[Libri]

rotation defense is slooooooow

[Spurs Brazil]

Fucking Finley late again, SOB

[Ice009]

Bullshit Ice.
1. Teams with all-stars don't win championships? Where have you been for the last two decades?
2. You're basically saying that the Big 3, our "all-stars", are lazy and that's why we're losing. How exactly did they win 3 rings then?

This is not laziness, it's lack of chemistry, and poor lineup coaching by Pop. It's also a bunch of players who don't know the system and keep getting lost.

I mean teams like the loaded Portland Trailblazers, 2004 LA Lakers. None of the stars wanted to do the dirty work on those teams.

I am using RJ as an example here. He's never really been that interested in defense. So far it looks like he's waiting for someone else to play defense for him. RJ needs to play like a role player on defense and for some reason he is playing like a lazy star than wants nothing to do with defense.

[007nites]

looks like jefferson is finally trying

[HarlemHeat37]

Finley is making me cry..why are they running it through him now?..that was the worst pass attempt without a turnover of all-time..

[timvp]

How does Pop just stand there watching Finley suck horribly and let him play on and on?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

get the fcuk out finley

[angelbelow]

Dang, Finley doesnt look good...

[spursfan09]

:lol Portland fans STFU!

[SCdac]

Nice to see Jefferson getting to the rim almost at will.

I hate these small lineups though.

[Doug Collins]

Jefferson has grown some balls, now it's time for tp and manu to step their shit up

[murpjf88]

the spurs have on all-star and a bunch of wannabe's

[DPG21920]

Spurs and the guys need to see Manu and TP play with some urgency. No one believes right now and everyone is struggling. It is time for those two to step up.

[AnthonyM]

Damn, Jefferson gets a lot of calls...

[mattyc]

RJ missed them both. Wow.

[spursfan09]

:wow

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr keep his pathetic play from last season playoffs

[Sigz]

RJ can't even hit FT's.

[slick'81]

dammit rj 2 misses from the stripe?!!

[angelbelow]

I hope RJ remains aggressive.

[ElNono]

After an Epic Fail attempt to drive past Blake(!), Fin sits down...

[Spursmania]

:(Why does RJ miss Ft's

[timtonymanu]

and he fuckin misses the free throws.

[Death In June]

Seriously...I don't remember RJ sucking this bad at FTs.

[Josepatches_]

Exactly :elephant

Yes.
+/- 2 with him on the court.

Finley is not the only problem of the team.

[slick'81]

oden over duncan

[Sigz]

RJ with the air ball. Nice.

[slick'81]

airball rj

[mVp]

lol rj

[mattyc]

...followed by a RJ airball.

[ulosturedge]

RJ shooting long shots is ass...

[ElNono]

Tim can't jump anymore...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

tp...stop treating rj as a spot up omfg..

[Spursmania]

Oden looks like a grandpa:lol

[angelbelow]

Nice, RJ is staying aggressive.

[Riverwalkman]

Stop penetrating Fin

[bdictjames]

The Spurs have more problems this year than last year's.

[mattyc]

Bogans in.

[Chomag]

How does Pop just stand there watching Finley suck horribly and let him play on and on?

While others do alot less worse then him but get benched for the same thing in a heartbeat.

[Josepatches_]

Seriously pop is stupid.

TD with foul trouble our only big men against Oden,Aldridge,Przybilla....

[ace3g]

Jefferson caught a break there his foot pivoted/slid on the floor and didn't sprain or worse a knee injury

[slick'81]

parker hurt

[mattyc]

Shit - Parker sore.

[Capt Bringdown]

How does Pop just stand there watching Finley suck horribly and let him play on and on?

The question of the last 2 seasons. That's why my heart sank when I saw he would return this year...

Face it, as long as he's on the roster Pop will continue to use him like this.

[ElNono]

Thank god Oden plays for us...

[mVp]

Parker is limping... just what we need...

[Libri]

uh oh, Parker hurting

[DPG21920]

TP WTF. Looking great after a long summer :tu

[timvp]

Parker looks like he's been hurt all game.

[Dex]

Now Parker limping....fucking awesome....

[mattyc]

Ankle...limping.

[spursfan09]

uh oh bye bye tony

[45 bank shot]

crap tony is down

[usckk]

Pvck!!!!!!!!!!!! Parker hurt!~~~~~

[balli]

Good luck on Tony.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

uh oh pop patting rj's asss :D

[angelbelow]

Pop looks pleased with RJ now.

And dont complain about him missing FTs, no one is perfect. As long as hes aggressive and drawing fouls its a great start/effort.

[Spurs Brazil]

Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[siraulo23]

parker?????????

[Spursmania]

Great, Parker limping just like our team right now...:depressed

[alchemist]

:lol that's all we needed, well at least it isn't much of a loss considering the way TP has played :ihit

[Chieflion]

Shit. Damn Parker.

[word]

Aaaaaand it goes from bad to worse.....

[completely deck]

really

[slick'81]

where is bonner tonight?!?!

[Morg1411]

Great...as if we needed more bad news, Parker just fucked up his ankle courtesy of Steve "Piece o Shit" Blake.

[ElNono]

I guess Hill will get his trial by fire now...

[ulosturedge]

Well Hill is going to get his minutes tonight. Hopefully he can cash in.

[DPG21920]

Parker looks like he's been hurt all game.


TP WTF. Looking great after a long summer :tu

Exactly.

[ducks]

back to back games should be no more
players are more likley to get hurto n back to back games

[45 bank shot]

please be alright Tony

[bigdog]

TP getting hurt isn't what we need.
I like that Bogans is back out there and I like RJ's play besides that airball. Looking better.
I hope Bogans can find his shot. If he does that, he can be very useful.

[Dex]

Well at least Mason will get some minutes now?

[iilluzioN]

OMG.. lets tank, rest timmy, give all mins to hill and blair.... trade manu, save money... try to sign bosh,

get rdy for next season

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

where is bonner tonight?!?!
he is eating sandwiches don't bother him

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Can someone please get RJ to work with Chip???


I mean teams like the loaded Portland Trailblazers, 2004 LA Lakers. None of the stars wanted to do the dirty work on those teams.

I am using RJ as an example here. He's never really been that interested in defense. So far it looks like he's waiting for someone else to play defense for him. RJ needs to play like a role player on defense and for some reason he is playing like a lazy star than wants nothing to do with defense.

Okay, fair enough.

However, I think RJ's problem isn't that he isn't trying, it's that he's just not a very good defender any more. Ever since he got injured he's lost a lot of lateral quickness, and I think it's killed his individual defence.

[Chieflion]

Pop and Whiskey in the same advertisement. Screw that.

[Ice009]

Well the soft play from Jefferson is going away and if Pop didn't get on him that hard who knows how he would have continued to play.

TP. Oh well. Like I said earlier in the game thread. No more National Team play. If TP wants to play for France then he can do it in New Orleans after we trade for Chris Paul ;).

[djohn2oo8]

Damn, the Spurs just can't catch a break

[ducks]

how can anyone get compfortable with very limited minutes and new players

[Ice009]

Well the soft play from Jefferson is going away and if Pop didn't get on him that hard who knows how he would have continued to play.

TP. Oh well. Like I said earlier in the game thread. No more National Team play. If TP wants to play for France then he can do it in New Orleans after we trade for Chris Paul ;).

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

It's like last year :(

[Spursmania]

Ankle roll. Shit...

[ElNono]

I can't wait to see Pop play Finley at the point now... :lol

[runback22]

Someone please explain to me why I was so excited about this year again?

[timvp]

F the FNT.

[007nites]

parker leaving the court slowly

[SCdac]

Parker played basketball all summer as France' best player, even had that minor ankle sprain... Let's hope he's ok right now... But I wouldn't mind him getting relief ala more minutes for G Hill.

[Chieflion]

I can't wait to see Pop play Finley at the point now... :lol
Stop, just stop.

[spursfan09]

:lol Timmy went to go check on Tony in the corner and was probably like, "Told you you shouldn't have played. Dumbass"

[angelbelow]

Damn, hope Tony is OKAY..

[siraulo23]

F f f

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

fuck blake, did you see how he was guarding tony on that posession, faggot

[Das Texan]

:pctoss



time to goto HEB.


beer thirty.

[Spursmania]

he is eating sandwiches don't bother him

:lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

OMG.. lets tank, rest timmy, give all mins to hill and blair.... trade manu, save money... try to sign bosh,

get rdy for next season

Just go away, please. You suck. According to your avatar you're a fucking Celtics fan anyway.

[Libri]

Time for Hill to show what he is made of.

[Spurologist]

Fuck....tp to locker room

[Chomag]

LOL, even the anouncers are puzzled by spurs small ball,

[slick'81]

tony to the locker room lets c how we finish the half

[mattyc]

Manu travel.

Everything going wrong.

[ElNono]

Sprain... He'll be ok in a week or two..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I think Manu has the rabies... :depressed

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:depressed Tony :vomit: I don't like seeing our big three limp around like that. :(




uh oh pop patting rj's asss :D

:lol

[EricB]

So glad Parker played all summer.

[Chieflion]

It just gets worse and worse for the Spurs.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason SUCKS

[Spursmania]

Fuck-why do we get the shit calls. Aren't we the vet team. Goddamn...

[SCdac]

Where is McDyess? Blair? Ratiliff?

[Johnny RIngo]

Isn't this a contract year for Manu? Guess he doesn't want to get paid next year.

[angelbelow]

Just like last night were still within striking distance...

[DPG21920]

Another stellar offensive half. Lets go Hill.

[spursfan09]

Well the soft play from Jefferson is going away and if Pop didn't get on him that hard who knows how he would have continued to play.

TP. Oh well. Like I said earlier in the game thread. No more National Team play. If TP wants to play for France then he can do it in New Orleans after we trade for Chris Paul ;).

We weren't lucky enough to get a trade for Manu, I don't think we'd be lucky like that for TP

[timvp]

Didn't Parker sprain his ankle on Nov. 6th last season? Someone look that up.

[pawe]

Lets go Spurs, put some energy out there!

[murpjf88]

the spurs are complete garbage

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I think Manu has the rabies... :depressed

It 's been all downhill since Manu's bat episode.

I think that Bat was cursed, probably came from some Occult worshipper, from another team. There's voodoo shit going on. The first three games he wasn't this disastrous.

[Spursmania]

Wow- this seems like a long first half for us.

[slick'81]

damn nice hook by the old fart

[Chomag]

STOP the small ball MADNESS!!! PLEASE!!!!!!

[mattyc]

Can we bring back Mike Wilks? He was cool.

The end.

[Libri]

old man Oden scores again

[Spursmania]

Where is McDyess? Blair? Ratiliff?

Resting:sleep Thanks to Pop.

[Chieflion]

Finally, attack the fucking rim.

[DPG21920]

Duncan getting owned in the post by Joel and Oden. Joel with his rebounding, Oden with his one move.

[Spurologist]

STFU Hubie

[ElNono]

Hard to believe it's just a 12 point game...

[Amarelooms]

flopnobli

[runback22]

I cant figure out why Pop is always letting the other team dictate how we play.....When the hell is he going to make other teams play our game?

[pawe]

Lets hope that will wake Manu up.

[mattyc]

Juwan Howard is still playing? Wowee.

[mexicanjunior]

I'm so glad I didn't do League Pass like I planned....

[timvp]

F Herpes Howard.

[Spurs Brazil]

Didn't Parker sprain his ankle on Nov. 6th last season? Someone look that up.

Yes, one day after the 55pts game

[Doe]

Mason again with lead feet...

[Dex]

Didn't Parker sprain his ankle on Nov. 6th last season? Someone look that up.

November 8th.

http://www.javno.com/en-sports/parker-leaves-spurs-loss-with-sprained-ankle_201488

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Death In June]

It'd be nice if we had another big in there this quarter.

[bigdog]

Mason is looking like shit. He can't even guard fucking Andre Miller

[Libri]

F Herpes Howard.

What? lol

[FvckMavs]

Hubie is annoying! STFU

[Spursmania]

flopnobli


Don't come in here and be an ass:lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Bogans over Finley now we need Malik over Mason

[runback22]

Didn't Parker sprain his ankle on Nov. 6th last season? Someone look that up.

Eva is going to be on the first George Lopez show on Monday. Tony needs Monday off.

[Capt Bringdown]

Of the former big 3, Parker is the only player still in his prime. Bringing in RJ and older role players such as dice and Theo ain't enough to contend.

[mVp]

Finally a three.

[mattyc]

Manu Three. 5 pt run.

[DPG21920]

Get a stop and a good shot please. End the half on a good note.

[angelbelow]

Nice Manu! finally.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

yea! bogans a stop !!

[timvp]

Manu finally held his follow-through.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!

[DPG21920]

Fml

[Chomag]

lol bogans.

[pawe]

Keep it in the single digits for the halftime.

[Libri]

at least keep it under 10

[007nites]

Ginobili is felling it.

[raspsa]

This team is still a work in progress.. just have to be patient.. Pop has method in his madness.

[Spursmania]

Batnobli!

[Amarelooms]

at least keep it under 10

lol :elephant

[Pauleta14]

F the FNT.

Why do you assume is has something to do xith the FNT?

It seems to be the left ankle and it's just bad luck...

[45 bank shot]

why don't we play dejuan?

[Spurs Brazil]

Bogans D on Roy is solid

[ulosturedge]

Bogans off the ball defense is great, but against the dribble not so great...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nice thinking by Manu and Tim there to grab the 2-for-1, then ruined by a ticky tak BS foul 40ft from the hole... :rolleyes

[DPG21920]

I hope TP is ok. With the way this team is playing, they can ill afford an injury to TP. You saw how bad the team looks with TP playing like shit; imagine without him.

Spurs need TP to have a huge year. They don't need him tired and injured 5 games into the damn season.

[Champs15]

That sick puppy "spurm" was right, sheez, with a name like that I was hoping you guys would win both but your ol' boy looks like he was right. spurs look slow, old and ugly. Thats too bad...

[007nites]

is ginobili playing Pf lol. Cause we got Duncan, Hill, Mason, and Bogans in there right now.

[TinTin]

err, where is our center?

[mVp]

Fuck you Roy.

[timvp]

November 8th.

http://www.javno.com/en-sports/parker-leaves-spurs-loss-with-sprained-ankle_201488

Thanks. Thought it was a B2B after the 55.

[slick'81]

down 11 at half

[45 bank shot]

fuck ROY

[timtonymanu]

RJ guards Roy and Roy scores.

[Avitus1]

Son of a bitch

[Chieflion]

What? Pop, you mad?

[mattyc]

Scoreboard flatters us at the minute.

[DPG21920]

down 11 at half

Feels like 1000.

[siraulo23]

who was defending roy in the last possession?

[superjames1992]

Nice to see Manu finally get it going at the end of the half. We need that.

[007nites]

Jeez on that last play we had Jefferson playing center lol

[Spurologist]

at least keep it under 10

sad that it has come to that.

[EricB]

Defense was much better in the second quarter.

But go ahead and everyone put a knife in the team already if you feel like it, I'll be crazy and watch the rest of the season.

[Spurs Brazil]

November 8th.

http://www.javno.com/en-sports/parker-leaves-spurs-loss-with-sprained-ankle_201488

It was November 7th
Fri 7 Miami

[Spursmania]

Anyone else watching Bogans? What do you think?

[EricB]

Defense was much better in the second quarter.

But go ahead and everyone put a knife in the team already if you feel like it, I'll be crazy and watch the rest of the season.

[spursfan09]

Being down 11 is not too bad, but Parker being down sucks!

[45 bank shot]

just get blair in the mix to grab some O board

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It 's been all downhill since Manu's bat episode.

I think that Bat was cursed, probably came from some Occult worshipper, from another team. There's voodoo shit going on. The first three games he wasn't this disastrous.

Strangely, that makes sense... :lol


Ginobili is felling it.

Which game have you been watching? Game 1 of the 05 finals? :lmao

You have to hit more than 1 layup and 1 3 to be "feeling it".

[angelbelow]

why don't we play dejuan?

We dont seem to playing any of the big men besides duncan

[Chieflion]

Anyone else watching Bogans? What do you think?
He is good. But, he needs to get involved in some sort of offense.

[BanditHiro]

it's all ian mahimi's fault fricking selfish bastard why can't he be good

[Malice]

and to think we looked like world beaters after game one. Long season Spurs fans. Its a long season. Calm the fuck down.

[bigdog]

Getting better, but where are the bigs? Dyess hasn't looked good and obviously Bonner hasn't looked good, but not even a Blair or Theo sighting in the 2nd?

I hate small ball.

[ElNono]

51 points looks great compared to last night... We might actually hold them under 100 pts tonight!

[007nites]

look how much help the Blazers had from there bench in that half.

[angelbelow]

Defense was much better in the second quarter.

But go ahead and everyone put a knife in the team already if you feel like it, I'll be crazy and watch the rest of the season.

Yea, some serious overreactions going on in this thread and probably outside of it.

[timvp]

I'd be shocked if the Spurs win this game. They played about as well as they are going to play in the second quarter and didn't make much of a dent.

Manu needs to settle down and play smarter. Hill needs to step up. Duncan needs to add a jump or two to his repertoire. Jefferson needs to keep attacking the rim. Pop can't simply run small ball the rest of the way.

[superjames1992]

Getting better, but where are the bigs? Dyess hasn't looked good and obviously Bonner hasn't looked good, but not even a Blair or Theo sighting in the 2nd?

I hate small ball.
Bonner actually looked pretty decent for the six or seven minutes he was in. He didn't score, but he kept Aldridge 0-3 for 0 points during his time in there, so he played good D.

[Morg1411]

Ok, only down by 11. This game isn't out of reach by any means. 3rd quarter isn't usually when we shine, however...I'll be interested to see if we can pull this one off.

Fuck Portland.

[xellos88330]

I'm not going to panic. I am just wondering why all of the experimental small ball.

[mVp]

and to think we looked like world beaters after game one. Long season Spurs fans. Its a long season. Calm the fuck down.

I think we all got that already.

[ulosturedge]

We need more length. Looks like Timmy vs the world out there on defense. Especially when it comes to defensive rebounding.

[Blackjack]

Thanks. Thought it was a B2B after the 55.

Sorry, too lazy to go back and see what you were asking for. But Tony did turn his ankle on a non-contact play against Miami following the 55pts from the night before.

[ceperez]

Anyone else watching Bogans? What do you think?

Great ball denial defense.

However, can't defend the like of Roy on the dribble and has absolutely no offense so far.

[DPG21920]

Why can't the Spurs just have this attitude from here on out:

N4HjsZqOaQ0

Other teams about to feel the wrath of a menace. Get out the way yo, get out the way yo, The Blazers just got dropped.

[Johnny RIngo]

Bring back the morning practices.

[bigdog]

Bonner actually looked pretty decent for the six or seven minutes he was in. He didn't score, but he kept Aldridge 0-3 for 0 points during his time in there, so he played good D.

I'm not hating on his defense. He's actually probably played some of the better defense out there. It's just having him out there on offense is a shot in the leg to the team right now.

[Spurs Brazil]

It difficult to know who play worst on D, Finley or Mason

[Riverwalkman]

I’m not against small ball, but Pop...could you stop playing Fin? could you stop making Mase a PG? we lost about 6 or 8 points on that two decisions.

[slick'81]

lets just turn the tv off and not watch the spurs until January and see whats poppN :hat

[usckk]

Dear Pop,

Please stop playing small ball. Also please permanently bench Finley.

Okay, Much Love
usckk

[EricB]

Yea, some serious overreactions going on in this thread and probably outside of it.

Its like people expected a team with that much overhaul and that many key players out of shape are supposed to come out looking like the 85 Celtics.

[Chieflion]

We cut the lead from 15 to 11. The third quarter better be the spark we need. When is the next game?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Defense was much better in the second quarter.

But go ahead and everyone put a knife in the team already if you feel like it, I'll be crazy and watch the rest of the season.

I ain't goin anywhere.

But I'd happily stick a knife in Finley, Bonner and Mahinmi, amke a shish-kebab about of them, and send them to GS for Jax at this point.

TP/Hill
Manu/Mason/RJ/Jax/Bogans
Timmy/Dice/Ratliff/Blair

You just know that Jax would fire this team up again, give them heart and soul... he's a game-changer. Would he listen to Pop is the question.

[bigdog]

Remember when the Spurs were anti small ball? Those were the days....

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Anyone else watching Bogans? What do you think?
can't complain on his defense and thx god i dont c finley

[007nites]

I really want to see Timmy and Blair playing in the same lineup. Or at least Timmy and Theo.

[DPG21920]

People assume it is the FNT because TP has looked gassed and he is playing like shit. That comes from playing a summer full of basketball.

[peacemaker885]

I think Bogans is pretty good on D. Right now as long as you don't turn over the ball and play good D, your an asset.

[Spurs Brazil]

Sorry, too lazy to go back and see what you were asking for. But Tony did turn his ankle on a non-contact play against Miami following the 55pts from the night before.

I was almost sure it was a back to back but Spurs.com schedule have it on November 5th and 7th

Wed 5 @ Minnesota W 129 - 125 2OT 1-3 T. Parker 55
T. Duncan 16

Fri 7 Miami L 83 - 99 1-4 T. Duncan 22
T. Duncan 11

http://www.nba.com/spurs/schedule/results_2008.html

[bigdog]

I wish Malik was activated tonight. I can guarantee you he'd be hustling his ass off on defense and on the boards. Too bad we have shitty Mason in there. When he isn't hitting his shot he isn't worth shit.

[ElNono]

Defense was much better in the second quarter.

But go ahead and everyone put a knife in the team already if you feel like it, I'll be crazy and watch the rest of the season.

Stick a spork in them!
Yeah, I'll be watching all season too...

[Chomag]

Why can't the Spurs just have this attitude from here on out:

N4HjsZqOaQ0

Other teams about to feel the wrath of a menace. Get out the way yo, get out the way yo, The Blazers just got dropped.

LOL one word for you.. POP

He calls attitude showboating and wont have any of that :nope

[Das Texan]

the spurs have no.....


have no....




marbles!


the spurs have no marbles!

[Das Texan]

the spurs have no.....


have no....




marbles!


the spurs have no marbles!

[Ice009]

Why do you assume is has something to do xith the FNT?

It seems to be the left ankle and it's just bad luck...

I will answer this one for TImvp.

It's because TP has looked like total crap so far this season. he looks gassed, disinterested and just plain poor out there. he didn't get a good training camp in to integrate himself with the new players, and as a point guard that is very important to learn the players you're going to play with.

Look at Dirk, he looks fresh as a daisy out there this season.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Strangely, that makes sense... :lol

I think he needs to see a Catholic priest, in addition to the rabies shots.




Which game have you been watching? Game 1 of the 05 finals? :lmao

You have to hit more than 1 layup and 1 3 to be "feeling it".

:lol I agree, I need to see his jumpshot completely back to 2007-2008 levels. before I say he's "feeling it"

That said, I'm hoping Manu brings out one of his patented, "kill Portland to dismay of Portlanders" quarters. I think Portland is one of those teams that hate seeing Tony or Manu.

[Creation88]

last season and this season are starting to make me think that Pop cannot coach offense. there's no explanation for all the jumpers and 3s we shoot.

I think Bogans is pretty good on D. Right now as long as you don't turn over the ball and play good D, your an asset.

Plus, for the kind of offensive production we're getting out of Finley, might aswell play somebody that can stay with people...

Remember when the Spurs were anti small ball? Those were the days....

I ain't goin anywhere.

But I'd happily stick a knife in Finley, Bonner and Mahinmi, amke a shish-kebab about of them, and send them to GS for Jax at this point.

TP/Hill
Manu/Mason/RJ/Jax/Bogans
Timmy/Dice/Ratliff/Blair

You just know that Jax would fire this team up again, give them heart and soul... he's a game-changer. Would he listen to Pop is the question.

Wish in one hand shit in the other see which fills up faster.

The Spurs have zero interest in him and the peeps (not you) need to come to grips with reality on that.


Call me crazy but I've seen some good things. I like what Bogans brings on D, his offense? Other than the layup that got blocked, did they even PASS him the ball? I just think everyone as per freaking usual needs to take a step back and chill and understand teams that are overhauled and out of shape as much as the Spurs are and were are not gonna be clicking on all 8 cylinders out of the gate.

Bitch like this if its March.

I'm pretty sure it's an error; I remember it pretty vividly.

The Spurs played in Minnesota, had the double-overtime (IIRC) victory with Tony's 55, and came home for a game against Miami that was televised by ESPN; that was the game JVG stated that the Spurs were fielding maybe the least talented team in the league at that point in time.
