11/6 - Spurs @ Trailblazers Game blog

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

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


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.

See above. I don't think the game one beat-down of NO helped the fandom... the team looked like it was january, not October. Now they look firmly in October form.

I think this team suffers from one of the same problems we had last year - we have players for all situations, but those same players only function well in limited situations ie. our players are too one-dimensional. Eg if we could combine Theo with Dice or Blair we'd have exactly what we need from our other big, or if we could combine Bogans with RJ or Mase that would make a much more suitable starting SF.

Unfortunately, in the real world, you can't just mash two players together to make up for each other's shortcomings! :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

So I guess the theory that Pop was saving Ratliff for this game is wrong..

[EricB]

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

After 2003 the Spurs have never been anti small ball.

[SenorSpur]

Time to trade Bonner, Finley and Mahinmi for Jax.

I could live with smallball with Jax at the 4.

I'm with you. I was actually thinking the same thing. At least Jax has a pair. Several guys on this team look timid and afraid.

[peacemaker885]

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

He's pretty much pestering Roy *before* he gets into position. The problem with RJ, is that he gives Roy enough space to get the pass..

[ulosturedge]

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.

That's one added dimension Malik has. He will help pull down rebounds.

[Dex]

These are the kind of games that make me want to go out and play basketball.

Surely I could drain a hoop better than these guys...

[bigdog]

Why are guys asking for more trades? You bring in a new player it's just going to make the problem worse. We already changed half of the roster.

[Chomag]

So I guess the theory that Pop was saving Ratliff for this game is wrong..
Apparently.:bang

[Ice009]

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.

You can't make a trade in March. I'd rather not wait until then. Come on man, please take the homer glasses off for a little bit.

I do agree with what you are saying in that we're all jumping the gun a little, but waiting until March is a bit much.

[DPG21920]

As painful as this is, we knew that it would take time for this team to gel. Even then, we knew it would be a long shot for this team to win it all. There was absolutely no room for error and there are a lot of questions to be answered.

The fact they are losing in embarrassing fashion does not change the fact that we knew it would probably be a rocky start. Still have to give it time in order to get a clearer picture.

[EricB]

So I guess the theory that Pop was saving Ratliff for this game is wrong..

I don't think seeing Theo Ratliff on Rudy Fernandez or his like would be a good idea.

If Hairston had been activated small ball would've been perfect for the lineups they were throwing out there against the Spurs.

McDyess looks just putrid BUT someone I think TIMVP or someone else mentioned he has a history of starting out slow so I'm gonna give the Tide guy a break.

Blair, damn, dude is a beast on the boards but, he's sp putrid on defense its killing Pop to have him out there. Pop put him in VERY early tonight and he was just so bad defensively he had to take him out. I pray he advances on D a LITTLE more, cause if he doesn't he's not gonna get minutes.

[ducks]

Manu finally held his follow-through.

maybe he can watch film and see what he did to make a shot

[Capt Bringdown]

We don't have the ammo to be an elite defensive team anymore, and elite defense was Pop's vision for the team. I don't know what he's doing now.

[SenorSpur]

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.

Both those experiements were colossal failures last year. The idea was to get better and more improved over the summer. Even when Pop gets desparate enough to change his lineup, he keeps reverting back to failed combinations and then seems surprised by the results.

[runback22]

These are the kind of games that make me want to go out and play basketball.

Surely I could drain a hoop better than these guys...

These are the kind of games that make me want to go to bed.......These guys arent worth staying up till midnight for.....:lobt2:? :lmao

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bitch like this if its March.

Yeah, I was just dreaming.

This team will be fine, it's just disturbing to see them gel so well in the first game, then regress to pre-season form. As long as we've seen decent improvement by mid-January I won't worry. We need to be at 85% by the ASB, then take it from there, just like 03-05-07. :tu

[xellos88330]

This is pretty much how I feel right now.

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7y5G0y9t_9I&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7y5G0y9t_9I&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

What the hell is up with the messed up lineups Pop!

[Ice009]

I'm with you. I was actually thinking the same thing. At least Jax has a pair. Several guys on this team look timid and afraid.

That's one of the main reasons I want Jax. He's always tough and never timid or afraid.

He might be silly or sulk, but he always brings that attitude. The contract is killer though.

[DPG21920]

maybe he can watch film and see what he did to make a shot

Maybe TP can watch Manu and learn how to stay healthy.

[EricB]

You can't make a trade in March. I'd rather not wait until then. Come on man, please take the homer glasses off for a little bit.

I do agree with what you are saying in that we're all jumping the gun a little, but waiting until March is a bit much.


There are no more trades.

Period.

No one out there thats available or will be available will be significant help. Period.

[Manu20]

Pop should start Ian for a couple of games and then the spurs would know what they truly have in him.

[completely deck]

I love how on the end of those ESPN halftime shows, when they say go to ESPN dot com and you see the fake web page, you can see the poll on the right say something like "Will the Spurs repeat as champions this season? Yes/No"

[Josepatches_]

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

Or Tim and mcDyess.

But please not more Duncan and four guards-small forwards around him (and that's include Bonner).Duncan is not in his prime and he can't do all.

And it will be nice if TD is not who has to guard Oden or Aldridge every play.Maybe then he could be fresh to score.

[completely deck]

Pop should start Ian for a couple of games and then the spurs would know what they truly have in him.

They'd learn they have nothing really quick.

[EricB]

Yeah, I was just dreaming.

This team will be fine, it's just disturbing to see them gel so well in the first game, then regress to pre-season form. As long as we've seen decent improvement by mid-January I won't worry. We need to be at 85% by the ASB, then take it from there, just like 03-05-07. :tu

Typical past Spurs team. Look fantastic one night hey things are great then a few games later your thinking good god WTF.

I think Finley hitting the bench, playing very little minutes should make the anti Finley faction happy cause the Finley loving Pop of old would've started him again tonight.

I think Finley personally is losing ground in the rotations. I could and am most likely wrong however.

[angelbelow]

Here we go, 2nd half, lets play with some more heart.

[Thompson]

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.

He doesn't have a choice with Mason at the backup point now with Tony out.

The supposed 'depth' of our team doesn't help Tim make it through the season with less wear if he's our only big on the floor all game long. What the heck is wrong with Pop?

One 'upside' to Tony being out is Hairston or Ian will have to suit up. Right? Right?

[ElNono]

We don't have the ammo to be an elite defensive team anymore, and elite defense was Pop's vision for the team. I don't know what he's doing now.

What makes you think that?

[Dex]

Hopefully those cool Spurs show up for this half.

And not the crappy, pc-toss-enticing Spurs that showed up for the past three halfs of basketball.

[Blackjack]

I've actually been slightly encouraged with the way the defensive penulum seems to be going. The effort hasn't necessarily been lacking and the Bogans-Hill backcourt has shown some signs.

Pop just needs to stick with the best defensive personnel he can muster and let them gain some cohesiveness.

It's a step in the right direction, but they're going to have to take some lumps to get where they need to.

Stick with a defensive rotation, Pop..

[siraulo23]

any updates on parker?

[Chieflion]

Crap star comparisions. Oden is not a star.

[EricB]

Pop should start Ian for a couple of games and then the spurs would know what they truly have in him.

Yeah no.

[SCdac]

DeJuan Blair - 5:36
Antonio McDyess - 5:36

weaaaak.

I don't care how badly someone plays in 5 minutes, defensive mistakes, fouls, missed rebounds, whatever. Playing bigmen IS a part of our identity... I sincerely hope at least.

[Spurs Brazil]

No news on TP?
ESPN sucks

[SenorSpur]

Any analysts that refer to the Spurs as a premier defensive team are truly not doing their homework. In fact, those comments are so 2003.

This team will hopefully round into better defensive team, but without another long defender on the frontline, their interior defense will continue to suck.

[Chieflion]

Hill playing probably means Parker is down for good.

[ElNono]

Timmy with 2 rebounds... Y'all think he needs some help rebounding?

[angelbelow]

Bonner!!!!!!! lol

[EricB]

I've actually been slightly encouraged with the way the defensive penulum seems to be going. The effort hasn't necessarily been lacking and the Bogans-Hill backcourt has shown some signs.

Good luck.

Pop never nails down rotations till February.

[Johnny RIngo]

Yeah, I was just dreaming.

This team will be fine, it's just disturbing to see them gel so well in the first game, then regress to pre-season form. As long as we've seen decent improvement by mid-January I won't worry. We need to be at 85% by the ASB, then take it from there, just like 03-05-07. :tu

It's just like last year. We look great against the weak teams and get embarrassed by the contenders.

[ulosturedge]

Depending on the severity of Tony's sprain Malik could possibly be activated.

[Chieflion]

Bonner scores.

[mattyc]

Good hustle from Bonner. Need more.

[Spurologist]

Bogannnnnnnn 333333333333

[mVp]

Bogans!

[siraulo23]

hhaa bogans!

[AnthonyM]

Omg bogans made a shot

[timtonymanu]

God the Blazers always respond.

[Ice009]

How can RJ be this retarded? He's started off with to jumpshots again. Started off this half like he started off the game.

[Chieflion]

You see the Spurs making crisp passes.

[angelbelow]

Looks like RJ is struggling with his shots right now.

[EricB]

Congrats Bogans you've won yourself IMO 3 weeks more at the starting 2 spot.

[timvp]

Why does it seem like RJ is always stumbling?

[mVp]

Bonner you fucking piece of shit.

[DPG21920]

That was a good play by Hill.

[siraulo23]

wow, chucking 3s

[bigdog]

Bogans hit a 3 :)
I'd like to see some RJ iso plays

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner can't hit shit

[Death In June]

Duncan's gonna get worn out real quick without any big help.

[The Btown Spur]

Im tired of us hacking up 3s

[mVp]

Nice drive by Hill.

[timtonymanu]

We frickin got so many big man and we still have trouble rebounding.

[Libri]

That was a good drive by Hill.

[alchemist]

Timmmmmmay has no lift left on his legs, it's heartbreaking cuz he tries so hard to get those rebounds. :ihit

[Chomag]

STOP living by the 3s!

[AnthonyM]

Good rotations on that last sequence....ending with the duncan block

[Chieflion]

What was that? We need some Blair down there.

[Death In June]

We frickin got so many big man and we still have trouble rebounding.Do we? I count three.

[ulosturedge]

We look like a .500 team just trying to get a playoff spot atm lol.

[Chomag]

Bonne with hands strait in the air doing defence.

[Dex]

So much for a run to start the half.

[hoopdreams11]

PJ is commentating how he comes back to the bench

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Just like last night, we can get it back to 8 or 9 but then give up a couple of quick buckets and it's out to 13 again. Fuck.

[mVp]

Bonner sucks.

[Spurologist]

Fucking pop. Get Bonner the fuck outta there

[EricB]

Yeah that hurts.

[DPG21920]

Sad watching Tim get worked constantly 1v1.

[Spurs Brazil]

Thank you Bonner

[siraulo23]

duncan owned

[timvp]

Teams have been doubling Oden a lot this season. Not because he's doing a great job offensively but because he's turnover prone. This single-teaming by Pop is questionable considering how well the other strategy has worked.

[45 bank shot]

i hate bonner so much

[HarlemHeat37]

We look like a .500 team just trying to get a playoff spot atm lol.

playoffs?!..

http://www.chrisacosta.com/images/JimMoraRant.jpg

[Chomag]

OMG guys stop the bitching it's just the 5th game! ummm,as far as I know it early season for Portland,UTAH, and Chicago as well.

[ulosturedge]

Atleast there is plenty of football left :rolleyes

[bigdog]

Bonner needs to sit the rest of the game. I'm tired of seeing him out there. Get Blair in the game. Get Theo in the game. Anyone not named Bonner.

[duncan228]

Tony Parker suffered a sprained ankle in the first half and is not expected to play in the second half.

[SCdac]

Sad watching Tim get worked constantly 1v1.

Yeah, what happened to the days of throwing a Rasho, a Nazr, or an Oberto on the opponents post up players? I'm really surprised Theo Ratliff isn't getting 10-12 minutes per game right now.

[Ice009]

Well Bonner sucks. He is a scrub out there starting for us. He needs to be benched.

Oden having a coming out party on TD. WHy do other teams always give it their best against the Spurs?

Is the weight loss hurting Tim?

[angelbelow]

Damn Oden

[45 bank shot]

please sit bonner out pop

[bigdog]

Well the thing that sucks about Parker going down is that we'll probably see shittyass Mason at PG at some point.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

can any1 give me a reason why theo doesn't get any playing time ?

[Spurologist]

Free Theo Raliff

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

There are no more trades.

Period.

No one out there thats available or will be available will be significant help. Period.

Jax would be a huge help.


Why does it seem like RJ is always stumbling?

I noticed that too. No idea. :lol


DeJuan Blair - 5:36
Antonio McDyess - 5:36

weaaaak.

I don't care how badly someone plays in 5 minutes, defensive mistakes, fouls, missed rebounds, whatever. Playing bigmen IS a part of our identity... I sincerely hope at least.

Totally. Get the bigs in there for fucksake. Otherwise, why exactly did we waste the MLE on Dice?

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck you Bonner, fuck you

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

BTW, Oden having a great game in limited minutes. ;)

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

can any1 give me a reason why theo doesn't get any playing time ?

Getting 4 Legit Big Men over the summer was merely a PR move by Pop.

[ulosturedge]

Bonner hits those 3's like they are nothing in practice and then when it means something it's no where to be found. Damn it.

[Dex]

Bonner can't shoot.

Manu can't dribble.

And every fucking team is putting in shots like its the goddamn schoolyard.

The list just grows and grows.

[mogrovejo]

Why aren't you doubling Oden? He's the new Ike Diogu, he can't pass off doubles but is dangerous if catches the ball deep enough and is guarded 1x1, everybody doubles him for that reason. Weird.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fcuk boner

[ElNono]

At some point Pop has to figure out Matt shots are not falling...
Preferrably before we're down 20....

[Dex]

I mean really, our defense SUCKS!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wow way off FTs

[Dex]

I'm pretty sure I could put up 40 against these Spurs.

Just go straight to the basket.

[Johnny RIngo]

You know Bonner sucks when Steve Blake is beating him to the boards.

[Ice009]

Is Pop shopping Bonner?? I don't understand otherwise. This is crazy.

[angelbelow]

Dunk by Duncan!

[KidCongo]

Timmy looks angry.

[45 bank shot]

timmy jamed

[Chomag]

THERE ya go TIMMY! THrow that shit down! No more weak shit!

[siraulo23]

duncan dunk!

[vednam]

Did I just see Duncan dunk it?

[DPG21920]

Can we see any kind of run?

Hell Ya Hill.

[Libri]

Spurs finally scored but it was 5 on 4.

[Spurologist]

Damn. Hill is a fucking glove on D. :tu

[Chieflion]

Duncan just dunked that.

[angelbelow]

Lol Blair

[ulosturedge]

Can we get some more shitty teams to play please. This crap is killing me.

[timvp]

Manu WTF.

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF Manu

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

You know what we don't have right now - a guy who will take over a Q or a half and drop 20. The Big 3 used to do stuff like that, but they don't seem to do it much any more.

[Dex]

If I didn't miss my shots, I'd surely get the board.

If I didn't get the board, I'd surely get the foul.

[slick'81]

wow

[Death In June]

Manu needs to stop with his weak ass 3s until he has his shot back. I understand he's worried about getting hurt again, but dude needs to drive at least to establish some sort of rhythm.

[Chomag]

LOL Bogans is in for defence?

[mattyc]

Gate is shut I say. Clear the bench.

[Dex]

I'm pretty sure I could score on these Spurs by eating Captain Crunch.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

This game is pretty much over. It has all the signs of a typical game the spurs wont be able to cut below 10 for too long.

[45 bank shot]

stop shooting 3s pls

[timtonymanu]

Tim is frustrated. His teammates are giving a half-ass effort.

[slick'81]

roy will fuck bogans up

[DPG21920]

San Antonio Bobcats.

[timvp]

If the Spurs don't make a run here, TD should sit for the rest of the game.

[Chieflion]

You know what we don't have right now - a guy who will take over a Q or a half and drop 20. The Big 3 used to do stuff like that, but they don't seem to do it much any more.
Are you talking about Chris Bosh?

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu picking up where he left off last year with his increasingly craptastic play. So glad we held on to him.

[DPG21920]

Minus the offense.

[Champs15]

Been watching the Spurs, they need to gel, not there yet, don't give up so easy spur fan.

[Chomag]

Can we get some more shitty teams to play please. This crap is killing me.

YEAH, can we just play SAC town the rest of the season?

[angelbelow]

Lets see how Dice and Blair play together during this stretch.

[DPG21920]

Another bad shot.

[Dex]

What's that called when we get three points at the same time?

[picnroll]

Holt looking for a grave to roll over in.

[mattyc]

Gate is shut I say. Clear the bench.

As soon as I say that, we hit two nice shots.

[slick'81]

game over

[ulosturedge]

lol!

[angelbelow]

WTF just happened

[Spurologist]

W
o
w

[timtonymanu]

was that a frustration pass?

[NewJerSpur]

Blair looked totally lost on that backdoor cut. Never even looked up.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Spurs suck...

[redzero]

Oden is a beast.

[Chieflion]

Bad defense.

[DPG21920]

Pretty successful road trip.

[timtonymanu]

The Spurs have been so damn predictable the last two years. If they trail in the first, the game is pretty much over.

[DMX7]

Who threw that pass to Manu?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This is a real downer. They look like a DL team out there. Ugh.

[mexicanjunior]

At least the Cowboys are over .500.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Pop is about to empty the bench well before the regular time

[hoopdreams11]

might as well play Theo

[kobyz]

we looks like the worst team in the NBA

[45 bank shot]

I'd say we pull out finley and bonner from the starting line up and have a strong start of game rather than trying to catch up for every single game

[Dex]

Spurs have 0% chemistry right now. I knew the early season was going to be rough, but this is just pathetic. They have nothing clicking on offense, and are just sad for our standards on defense.

[mexicanjunior]

we looks like the worst team in the NBA

At this point, we very well could be...

[Blackjack]

It's pretty painful seeing Manu trying to find his game.

Understandable, but painful.

[slick'81]

i havent watch all the game has ratliff even played tonight?!?!

[completely deck]

I don't know how much more of this I can take.

[Chomag]

we looks like the worst team in the NBA

We should be getting better game to game not worse...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

This makes me very sad

[Johnny RIngo]

YEAH, can we just play SAC town the rest of the season?

Fuck that. I'd don't want to be misled into believing they're legit with blowout wins against crap teams.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I'd say we pull out finley and bonner from the starting line up and have a strong start of game rather than trying to catch up for every single game

Yes

[ulosturedge]

How can last years team be better then this years roster? This shit is like mind boggling.

[redzero]

At this point, we very well could be...

Excuse me, asshole, but the Hornets have that honor.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason just like Bonner and Finley, can't hit a shot and can't plad D

[vednam]

When is the last time the Spurs came back from a double-digit deficit?

[KidCongo]

You guys need a game against the Knicks.

[timvp]

RMJ PG FML

a

[spurs1990]

Question is how the hell did we wipe the floor with New Orleans on opening night???

[EricB]

How can last years team be better then this years roster? This shit is like mind boggling.


Sigh :pctoss

[TinTin]

I'd say we pull out finley and bonner from the starting line up and have a strong start of game rather than trying to catch up for every single game

If dice and duncan would have to play together in 4th qtr during playoffs then I am all for it. If we make it that far that is

[Chieflion]

Even Bayless is checking in. This is an insult to us fans.

[Mavs<Spurs]

saved the game on dvr but too depressing too watch lately.

Utah won't even make the playoffs. After that piss poor effort against the Jazz letting them score at will, I would have thought that they would come out motivated.

After the Jazz game, I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch. I thought that I would just dvr record it and then see if it turned out to be worth watching.

What has been going on in a nutshell ?

thank you to whomever is kind enough to answer.

I still love the Spurs and think that they can turn it around (it's so early in the season, but this is damn depressing !).

:flag:

[mattyc]

Dice!

[Capt Bringdown]

Haha, Finley in for Blair.
Beyond ridiculous.

[slick'81]

uh oh spurs on run>!>!

[SCdac]

McDyess can score!

If we'd play him more and let him gel we'd know that.

[hoopdreams11]

That's it MC D

[ducks]

pop does not want the spurs to have early early success

they start believing the hype

[Chieflion]

Dice has finally woken up.

[DPG21920]

Good to see the Spurs can make a mini run. Big shot here...

[Johnny RIngo]

As much as I dislike Ian, I'd rather see him out there next to Tim than any of our other big men.

[Death In June]

RMJ PG FML

a.

[timvp]

McDyess needs more minutes.

[ulosturedge]

Down by 10 they fucking teasing us again lol.

[completely deck]

I think this is the only run we've ever had when behind.

[timtonymanu]

Down to eig----- and a miss!

[slick'81]

fck had a chance to get it down to8

down 10 going into the 4th,,,

[EricB]

Awesome, won the quarter.

[siraulo23]

solid finish to end the 3rd quarter

[angelbelow]

Dice is showing some signs.. were still in this game but we gotta play perfect basketball.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

spurs has a run?????holy smoke ?? no bonner + no finley = :)

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Where is Theo?

[TinTin]

Dice is better taking those mid range jumpers from the corner. last year with detroit, he would make it consistently

Hint hint: hi low please

[AnthonyM]

Don't know why Ginobili wasn't handling the ball at the end of the 3rd there, he coulda got penetration or maybe a better shot for someone

[Mavs<Spurs]

RMJ PG FML

a

I don't know what the FML stands for, but the part I do understand scares me.

Roger Mason Jr. Point guard.

No !

Okay, I haven't watched this game, but Pop should not be repeating that mistake from last year.

[EmptyMan]

Holt: Greg, wtf.

Pop: CI...

Holt: Stfu and quit dicking around. I'm broke n#$%%@, I'm broke!

[Amarelooms]

Awesome, won the quarter.

lol :elephant

[SpurOutofTownFan]

If the spurs can cut it down to 5 maybe this isnt' over but if it gets back up to 15, just pull the plug and have mercy of our souls...

[hsxvvd]

Can we celebrate quarters?

[Dex]

RMJ PG FML

a

You knew it was coming as soon as Tony went down.

[Libri]

Did I just see a Spurs run? :wow

[bigdog]

I hope we see a solid dose of Dyess in the 4th.
When Hill comes back in, I'd like to see him take control of the offense.

[Sigz]

Holt: Stfu and quit dicking around. I'm broke n#$%%@, I'm broke!

I don't understand why we had Mason Jr. run that final pick-and-roll with time expiring. I would think Manu would have given us a better chance at scoring. Mason Jr. isn't exactly a great slasher.

dice would get a starter like minutes only if he can show that he can play some good defense in limited mins

great post, all it was missing was a Finley reference..

[DPG21920]

I am not going to post for the fourth quarter. Lets see if that helps.

[Thompson]

It's not you Bonner, it's me. You're a great guy and all, but I need me some Dice.

Trade Matt.

This shit has been so awful it's making me psycho analyze our defensive rotations. Like its making me want to sit down and watch tape. How fucked up is that.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Don't know why Ginobili wasn't handling the ball at the end of the 3rd there, he coulda got penetration or maybe a better shot for someone

Roger Mason Jr. at the point was already a proven failure last year. I guess they thought that maybe he could have a second shot at it. :bang What a wasted opportunity to get it down to single digits.

[ElNono]

I see we're back with the Mason-as-PG experiment...
It worked so well last season...

[superjames1992]

RMJ PG FML

a
Tony is not available and Hill has to get some rest, so someone who isn't a natural point guard is going to have to come in for a few minutes to give Hill some relief.

I do hope we don't see it in the future, though, once Tony is back. I hate it.

[45 bank shot]

Bogans :tu

Bonner :td

Sucking on defense :td :td :td

It's a no brainer with Tony down. I remember Bogans used to play some PG too....hmm....

[Blackjack]

Awesome, won the quarter.

They'd lost the last 6...

[mVp]

Can we celebrate quarters?

We're not gonna win the game, so knock yourself out while you can.

[slick'81]

well do the spurs fight for it or fold up shop?!?!

[timvp]

Come on, one more run.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

ask about three guards: oh yea lawl

[007nites]

Timmy has been a beast on the boards in the previous games. It only comes to games like this where he needs some sort of help. Too bad Pop's isn't giving Blair any minutes.

[EricB]

Parker out

Hill needs rest


who else ya gonna use?

Manu at PG has failed before as well.

Not signing a 3rd PG bites em in the ass...

Works for me... :tu

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Are you talking about Chris Bosh?

No. Why?

I just miss the time when we had 3 guys who could singlehandedly take the game over and carry us to victory. We don't seem to get that often any more. When was the last time you can remember a Spur just taking over the game and winning it purely by force of will? TP did it a few times last year, Manu did it plenty the year before, TD has made a career of it. I guess we're getting old and tired... :depressed

Nah, we'll see good times again. Just got to be patient. :tu

[angelbelow]

There we go.

Mase for twoooooooo

[Libri]

oooh, Mason makes a shot

[superjames1992]

Bogans :tu

Bonner :td

Finley :td

Sucking on defense :td :td :td
Not quite sure where Bonner has been sucking on defense. He has done quite well. Unfortunately, his three-point shooting is lacking, though. At least he has a couple offensive rebounds, which is unusual for him.

[slick'81]

The Spurs are just old. If we had the Garnett-like intensity.

[timvp]

Manu and Finley with horrible shots.

[siraulo23]

stop chucking 3s

What happened to our threeball?
