11/6 - Spurs @ Trailblazers Game blog

[redzero]

Desagana Diop would be jealous of Oden's defense on Duncan.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason is just like Finley

He sucks on D and if can't shot he's nothing

Same crap play from last season playoffs

[Dex]

I cannot BELIEVE that we're all calling for Bogans, but goddamn just a little defense Pop.

[EricB]

Bogans Mcdyess in

Mason Ginobili out

Do it Pop...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Roy hits bullshit, Manu takes bullshit, Pop takes a big bullshit all over the court by subbing out Bogans, and bullshit is the only winner here. :pctoss

BTW, it's easy to forget how awesome Roy is. He gets whatever he wants.

[siraulo23]

something positive: very satisfied with bogans performance

[timvp]

Manu gambling for the steal when the Spurs are in small ball is suicide.

[slick'81]

8

[jag]

Fucking Ginobili :pctoss

[angelbelow]

Yes!

[NewJerSpur]

Maaaaaase!!!

[mattyc]

Hahah RMJ hits a silly three.

[slick'81]

money in the fkcn house

[Libri]

finally a shot

[jag]

RMJ doing something worthwhile...

[evi11emons]

fuck yes mason

[KidCongo]

Fuck the haters. Get em Mason! :lol

[baseline bum]

WTF did Pop take out Bogans :pctoss

Fuck. This is reminiscent of Bowen shutting Kobe down completely in the first 30 minutes of game 1 only to have him all of a sudden murder the Spurs the second Pop benches him and puts Manu and Udoka on Bryant.

[EmptyMan]

funny how the announcers are monotone when the spurs score and they bust a nut when the blazers do something.

Every Spurs game, home or away, it is like this on NT.

[SCdac]

Great play! We've seen that so many times, with Finley, Barry, etc.

[slick'81]

gospursgo

[mVp]

OMG WTF Hill?

[DMX7]

Fucking hill

[Doe]

Fucking stupid ass Hill

[baseline bum]

And no Bogans after the timeout :pctoss

[NewJerSpur]

Bad decision by Hill. Doesn't have the body control TP has going to the rim.

[angelbelow]

Nice recovery by Hill.

[slick'81]

thats a block

[HarlemHeat37]

Hill gets it back after turning it over..

[ElNono]

That's an and1!

[mattyc]

Good D from Hill. Made up for a bad mistake.

RJeff chance to shoot 2 FTs.

[timvp]

Man RJ has had some lucky ass plays this game.

[jag]

There ya go RJ!! Be aggressive!

[Spurologist]

I don't agree with the call but that's a continuation

[evi11emons]

hell yes

[baseline bum]

Gotta hit these Richard

[007nites]

lol hill got it back

[Spurs Brazil]

I think Bogans is injured

He's not on the bench now

[NewJerSpur]

Hahah RMJ hits a silly three.

It's silly because Mason hit it I guess. :rolleyes

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

not a three point play???

[slick'81]

spurs ball fck

[angelbelow]

Bad decision by Hill. Doesn't have the body control TP has going to the rim.

I think he just choked, hes capable of making that.

[baseline bum]

Shit, they gave him continuation!?!!

[Libri]

WTF is it with these freethrows?!

[slick'81]

killer

[angelbelow]

Uhoh, clutch shot by blake.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Mason should be the only guy with a green light to shoot the 3 (until Manu finds his form again)

[ElNono]

Mason falls asleep on D...

[HarlemHeat37]

Steve Blake is just too ugly, why are we allowing him to score crucial points..

I wish he played in New York with us..

[TimDunkem]

This game is over.

[baseline bum]

Manu, quit faking the three. Just take the shot if it's open.

[Spurologist]

Moving screen every fucking time on the blazers. :pctoss

[007nites]

fuck blake

[mattyc]

It's silly because Mason hit it I guess. :rolleyes

I meant silly as in a different way. Silly as in, crazy good.

[slick'81]

lol fck u blake u pussie

[KidCongo]

Show him where ya from Manu.

[timvp]

Ginobili almost batted Blake.

[Chieflion]

Urgh. Where was the man?

[mVp]

We fucking suck.

[mattyc]

Damn.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Blake is a fag, trying to fondle Manu

[timvp]

Rebound this.

[slick'81]

odumb to the line

[KidCongo]

No choking tonight for Gregory.

[Capt Bringdown]

Missed layups will get ya every time.

[NewJerSpur]

I still like the effort I've seen on "D"....encouraging moving forward.

[angelbelow]

Oh damn RJ is pissed.

[Doe]

Holy shit RJ!

[completely deck]

holy shit rj monster dunk

[baseline bum]

Need more of that, Richard!

[jag]

Shit on 'em RJ!!!

[EmptyMan]

Jefferson omg skeeeeeeeeeet skeeeeeeeeeeet

[timvp]

Where has that been, RJ?

[evi11emons]

Oh my god rj

[mVp]

Nice dunk, but worthless.

[Spurologist]

Damn. That was nasty

[TinTin]

haha ritchie rich

[slick'81]

ftW!!! jefferson to the rack

[CP48107]

I think the spurs really tried, it is really sad. What happened to this team?

[mattyc]

We fucking suck.


I don't know if it's all that bad. Second half has been much better. Good signs from Bogans, Dice and a few others. Need lots of improvement before we think playoffs, but we have plenty of time.

[ElNono]

:wow

Need 12 more of those RJ!

[pawe]

fucking stupid ref!

[HarlemHeat37]

Ginobili's brain is injured too..

[Dex]

WTF Ginobili!?

Game over.

[bigdog]

Jefferson :wow
Manu needs to get outta the game.

[bbarry]

Who said RJ didn't have his hops anymore? LOL

[Death In June]

Manu' has been absolute garbage.

[timvp]

Manu W T F.

[KidCongo]

Holy fuck RJ!!!

[Fpoonsie]

FUCK Manu! FUCK!

Stop doing stupid shit!

[EmptyMan]

God damn rj just went super sayain on that old man.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs forgot that they used to be CLUTCH.. now they're just D-Leaguers

[completely deck]

hoooooooly shit that dunk made up for the entire night

[angelbelow]

damn bad foul by ginobili

[hoopdreams11]

RJ is looking like he is getting comfortable

[TimDunkem]

Ginobili you bastard!

[siraulo23]

unbelievable dunk

[jag]

Manu's a tard.

[Chieflion]

Is Manu Ginobili an idiot?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That's the kind of aggression we need out of RJ.

I think Manu really DOES have the rabies... :lol

[completely deck]

manu makes up for it :D

[Dex]

Fuck that And-One. You're still a 'tard for this game, Manu.

[EricB]

Ginobili pretty much single handidly handed the Blazers the game down the stretch...

[siraulo23]

we're showing resiliency, i like it

[pawe]

look at how Manu cradles the ball like a running back.

[NewJerSpur]

Manu has to get back to that. Stop popping and start driving.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu and one!!!

Bogans is hurt on the bench

[timvp]

Manu finally just takes it to the rim. Great job.

[slick'81]

5

[baseline bum]

Wow, if only Manu and Richard did this shit the first 46 minutes of the game.

[angelbelow]

hoooooooly shit that dunk made up for the entire night

Not if we lose :rolleyes

[TimDunkem]

Too late Ginobili. Your dumb foul put it out of reach.

[Johnny RIngo]

I don't care if he just had a 3 point play - Manu plays like a fucking moron sometimes.

[baseline bum]

That's the kind of aggression we need out of RJ.

I think Manu really DOES have the rabies... :lol

:rollin

[EricB]

Saying there needs to be a stop the next time down goes without saying IMO....

Get a stop and IMO you still don't need a three, just keep going to the damn cup.

[completely deck]

the gif of that dunk is going to be my sig

[usckk]

Manu and one!!!

Bogans is hurt on the bench

Bogans hurt?!?!?!?!

[EricB]

Saying there needs to be a stop the next time down goes without saying IMO....

Get a stop and IMO you still don't need a three, just keep going to the damn cup.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

what a great effort in the second half i am so hyped right now

[Chieflion]

We need Bogans back for at least two stops.

[jag]

I still got a half-wood from that RJ dunk.

[EmptyMan]

lol Oden was like "oh sheeeeit!"

And RJ was like, Kablaamo

[Spurologist]

Manu and one!!!

Bogans is hurt on the bench

You mean pissed hurt by getting benched by pop? What happened?

[007nites]

Well looks like it's a bit too late for Ginobili to start driving and drawing fouls. Maybe he should have done this 5 minutes ago.

[Ice009]

The Spurs got back into the game. RJ playing tougher, Manu playing tougher. No Bonner or Finley in the comeback and we play better. Amazing Pop amazing.

Bogans played good too to help get us back.

[HarlemHeat37]

Saying there needs to be a stop the next time down goes without saying IMO....

Get a stop and IMO you still don't need a three, just keep going to the damn cup.

this is the Spurs..there will be a 3..

[bigdog]

Take the ball to the damn hole. It's working. Get to the damn line. No more spot up jumpers.

[spurspokesman]

Is Manu Ginobili an idiot?
He truly is a joker. He's either really good or really bad. No in between

[boutons_deux]

Spurs really regretting all those missed 3Gs, being -5 with under 2 mins left.

[timvp]

This comeback in the fourth has been somewhat impressive. Thought they were dead in the water. While it was a lot of the Blazers just choking, there were some good signs.

[Chomag]

Note to Pop. Keep Finely and Bonner as far away from the court as possible.

[Doug Collins]

I don't care if he just had a 3 point play - Manu plays like a fucking moron sometimes.

That's just Manu being Manu

[Kool Bob Love]

the gif of that dunk is going to be my sig

:hat

[hoopdreams11]

no Bonner and no fin defense has a chance to stop somebody

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

That's the kind of aggression we need out of RJ.

I think Manu really DOES have the rabies... :lol

IT would explain his mental brain farts... he's already deteriorating mentally...

[completely deck]

Not if we lose :rolleyes

No, it still makes up for it. It shows we're really ironing the kinks out. We've come back from a huge deficit to make it an actual game. We haven't been able to do that this year. It shows that they are starting to want it a whole lot more.

[Dex]

Spurs are lucky to be in this game, but they've shown some grit.

Don't mean nothing though if you can't get over the hump...

[ElNono]

We should trot out our 3 point specialists now...

[Libri]

A bad foul by Manu and then a spectacular play.

Manu is bipolar.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

note to pop. Keep finely and bonner as far away from the court as possible.
+1000000000000000000

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Where has that been, RJ?

Totally.


I don't know if it's all that bad. Second half has been much better. Good signs from Bogans, Dice and a few others. Need lots of improvement before we think playoffs, but we have plenty of time.

Agreed. A fighting loss is a lot better than that crap we had to endure in Utah.


Where's the effort we've seen in the 4th Q for the rest of the game???

[alchemist]

Even if we lose (which is likely) I love how this team came back, a huge chemistry builder!!!! :wow :toast

[Spurs Brazil]

You mean pissed hurt by getting benched by pop? What happened?

He was not on the bench after the time out and now he's back

[slick'81]

outlaw to fkcn long

[mVp]

Fuck Mason.

[angelbelow]

omg..

[evi11emons]

damn mason

[bigdog]

Jumpshots. W T F. Mason is a piece of shit.

[slick'81]

fck too missed treys

[timtonymanu]

OK, trade Mason. He would have made that last year.

[Spurs Brazil]

Roger Mason Jr sucks

[mattyc]

Damnit. About 4 lost opportunities in that play.

[baseline bum]

Game :pctoss

Fuck moral victories

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

its over :(

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu had BLAKE on him! Fuck, drive that shit again!

[timvp]

Gritty effort down the stretch. Bogans showed a lot of positives. Not a horrible night but gotta start getting wins with the schedule easing up.

[NewJerSpur]

Now here comes the outrage over the two missed threes, LOL. Is Bogans really hurt?

[Dex]

1ytCEuuW2_A

[SpurOutofTownFan]

ok now after seeing mason taking 2 consecutive stupid 3s we can call it a day

[TimDunkem]

This team is always content with shooting jumpers.

[EmptyMan]

Props to Oden.

[KidCongo]

Gregory again, damn he's big.

Mason should of had a quick dribble before setting his feet on that 2nd one.

[Chieflion]

Urgh. Roger Mason needs to be traded.

[Spurologist]

4-20 is all you need to know

[KidCongo]

Gregory again, damn he's big.

Mason should of had a quick dribble before setting his feet on that 2nd one.

[boutons_deux]

Blazers hitting their crunch shots, GAMEOVER

[jag]

Note to Pop. Keep Finely and Bonner as far away from the court as possible.

[redzero]

That's a wrap, folks. Greg "Bill Russell" Oden was simply too much.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Pop needs to give his three point shooters a 5 three minimum for each game.

[jag]

Urgh. Roger Mason needs to be traded.

Good point. Let's trade our best 3-point shooter.

[NewJerSpur]

ok now after seeing mason taking 2 consecutive stupid 3s we can call it a day

He was open on the second one.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow, if only Manu and Richard did this shit the first 46 minutes of the game.

If only.

Well, at least they fought for it in the 4th. i don't feel so bad now, there were some promising signs interspersed with the horror.

[fmedrano1977]

Am I the only one who saw this, they showed signs of life after the first period.

[007nites]

Oden played pretty good actually, 6-9FG, 14 points, 7 rebounds, 4 blocks.

[Amarelooms]

If only.

Well, at least they fought for it in the 4th. i don't feel so bad now, there were some promising signs interspersed with the horror.

lol :elephant

[Fpoonsie]

[sigh]

[mattyc]

Ah well, that's basketball.

I'm confident we'll be alright.

[NewJerSpur]

Oden played pretty good actually, 6-9FG, 14 points, 7 rebounds, 4 blocks.

Agreed.

[timvp]

Manu getting some difficult calls . . .

[Ice009]

Fuck Mason.

Should have kept Bogans in. Mason has done nothing in his court time except hit one open 3.

Bogans played great defense and on top of that hit some easy buckets.

[timtonymanu]

Highlight of the night: Bogans.

suckers: everybody else.

It's a sad sight if your team's bright spot was Bogans.

[td4mvp21]

Well, they tried. I'm at least happy with the effort. The Spurs could have gotten blown by 30 but they kept fighting.

[slick'81]

if anything good comes out of tony going down maybe hill finally gets some big minutes and picks his game up

[ElNono]

I liked what I saw on the second half with bogans out there along with TD. Dice brought us back in the game. I liked Hill too. I think with some more minutes he'll help a lot on D.
See, I don't really mind losing these games if we improve, and we start figuring out what everyone brings.

[Death In June]

And that's game. This team has been a major disappointment so far, even when you take into account all the new faces and the time it takes to gel. The coaching has been terrible. The shot selection, also very bad. Now that Tony's out, I can see the early season playing out alot like this game - getting in a huge hole early.

[evi11emons]

Bogans played great today

[007nites]

Kick ball on Ginobili

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

No more Bonner or Finley than is absolutely necessary, lots more Dice/Bogans/Blair please.

[spurspokesman]

Gritty effort down the stretch. Bogans showed a lot of positives. Not a horrible night but gotta start getting wins with the schedule easing up.
Agree tim but really doesn't matter when you can't beat good teams

[usckk]

Now he puts Boggans in!?!? WTF POP!?!?!

[timvp]

Now Bogans is back :rolleyes

[EmptyMan]

How many more times is Hubie Brown going to tell us how Intimidating Oden was for the scared Spurs???

[NewJerSpur]

Highlight of the night: Bogans.

suckers: everybody else.

It's a sad sight if your team's bright spot was Bogans.

Why, he played great defense and ignited the team on that end of the floor which ultimately got the offense going via the turnover? Take'em how you get'em...it's a start imo.

[hoopdreams11]

hopefully Pop sees Bonner is giving us nothing right now

[anonoftheinternets]

good effort down the strech.. if they were serious from the begining this game wud hav been a lot better..... plus bogns played a really good game, and mcdyess dint suck which is a big improvement over last game. Ginobili is lookin worse as he plays more games ... bonner omg .. pop shud sit him down when he starts bricking .. he is a confidence player....nothign more ..

[murpjf88]

end the game already

[Libri]

Dice should get some props. He made some much needed shots.

[Ice009]

Oden played pretty good actually, 6-9FG, 14 points, 7 rebounds, 4 blocks.

Well Greg Oden played about half as good as TD's first or second ever NBA game ;).

[angelbelow]

Damn thats a wrap a nice comeback effort but we gotta play better from the beginning.

[VBM]

Pop's gonna rip 'em a new one...he looks pissed...

[NewJerSpur]

Now Bogans is back :rolleyes

Now THAT is strange. Have to hear Pop's explanation on that one.

[Johnny RIngo]

This team is always content with shooting jumpers.

It's why we've been a pretender the past two years. We're a one-dimensional, jump-shooting team. The playoff teams will be content to let us shoot ourselves out of games.

[Dex]

It's like Pop doesn't look at results whatsoever. He just goes with whatever hair-brained schemes he can think up.

[slick'81]

spurs lose by 12

[evi11emons]

lol tim for 3

[hoopdreams11]

Ginobili 4-14

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

lol :elephant

You can go and jerk off over our loss now, dancing elephant.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

He was open on the second one.

They should have gone for a two there.

[mVp]

Great B2B... :pctoss

[timtonymanu]

Damn thats a wrap a nice comeback effort but we gotta play better from the beginning.

exactly. that's why that bs "it's not about who starts" quote needs to be said no more. our starts the last two games killed us.


nice way to test yourselves on the road, spurs.

[NewJerSpur]

good effort down the strech.. if they were serious from the begining this game wud hav been a lot better..... plus bogns played a really good game, and mcdyess dint suck which is a big improvement over last game. Ginobili is lookin worse as he plays more games ... bonner omg .. pop shud sit him down when he starts bricking .. he is a confidence player....nothign more ..

McDyess's defense is still MIA, but if he finds his jumper we may have something.

[ManuTP9]

Fucking shit wtf was wrong with us tonite??? this shit is crazy how we start so slow in the 1st quarter . fuck bonner and trade his ass. fuck pop

[jag]

I actually feel better after seeing that 4th quarter.

[boutons_deux]

TOR, DAL, OKC all @SA, can Spurs get a least one?

[timvp]

The bad defense in the first half came back to cost the Spurs the game. Not thrilled with the effort but at least there were positive signs.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nice to see BB and timvp in the game thread. :tu

Later all.

[Champs15]

All hail "spurms"! LOL! Spurs are better then this.

[Dex]

At least my fantasy team doesn't suck...

[wut]

Spurs are lucky to be in this game, but they've shown some grit.

Don't mean nothing though if you can't get over the hump...

Nothing? Spurs had a lot of growth tonight win or lose...much improved defense.

People forget that there are a lot more new players this year, all who need time to adjust to each other.

This was a back-to-back and we were without our pg and leading scorer with Parker going down. Folks need to chill...this team will be rolling in march.

[007nites]

lol tim for 3

Forgot about him. Did he even get a touch in the 4th?

[Johnny RIngo]

Pop's gonna rip 'em a new one...he looks pissed...

Pop should be pissed at himself considering he's half the reason we lost this one.

[NewJerSpur]

At least we finished strong on the road, and shorthanded at that. The loss is upsetting, but it was encouraging to see them creating turnovers.

[bigdog]

Oh well, we lost. Manu needs to get his head out of his ass. He's nowhere near where he needs to be. I say less minutes for Manu these next couple of games.

If Tony plays the next game, the offense needs to revolve around him and RJ. I'd also like to see some high low action with Tim and Dyess.

[DPG21920]

Gritty effort down the stretch. Bogans showed a lot of positives. Not a horrible night but gotta start getting wins with the schedule easing up.

Too bad championship teams are not measured by how they do against average teams. The Spurs record against the better teams in the league is far more telling with regards to being a contender.

I want to see if they can consistently beat the top teams. Hopefully as they progress, they get to that point.

[Spurs Brazil]

I liked RJ, Bogans and Dice

Finley and Mason were horrible

[Spurs#1]

oh gawd i know.

[Death In June]

Now THAT is strange. Have to hear Pop's explanation on that one.You won't. SA press are tremendous pussies.

[murpjf88]

spurs can take absolutely nothing out of this game. Another wasted effort.

[VivaPopovich]

We put in a good effort tonight, it was fun to watch

That Jefferson dunk was sick. I'm surprised Pop didn't Hack-a-Oden at the end.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

McDyess's defense is still MIA, but if he finds his jumper we may have something.

He hasn't been given any consistent court time to work out how to play in this system!

Start Dice. Start Bogans. Sit the "wide open 3pt... miss" brothers. Cross fingers and hope to hell Spurs ball turns up.

[CP48107]

Yep, I am proud of the spurs. They tried really hard down the stretch. I agree with everybody that Bogans played well tonight, and Dice too in the second half. I am worried about manu, he is just not the same anymore.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

good effort down the strech.. if they were serious from the begining this game wud hav been a lot better..... plus bogns played a really good game, and mcdyess dint suck which is a big improvement over last game. Ginobili is lookin worse as he plays more games ... bonner omg .. pop shud sit him down when he starts bricking .. he is a confidence player....nothign more ..

well it's still the 4th game, if Manu still gives that kind of effort in a 4th quarter in three months then I'd be worried.

His three ball is gone. I think he needs to get used to his post injury ankles.


Oh well, we lost. Manu needs to get his head out of his ass. He's nowhere near where he needs to be. I say less minutes for Manu these next couple of games.



That or sit him out entirely if Pop can. He needs to go back to the gym and start practicing his jumpshot and his handles. Boguns has a better percentage than Ginobili.

[VivaPopovich]

I liked RJ, Bogans and Dice

Finley and Mason were horrible

Yeah, this was the first great game for all 3 of those individuals

[bigdog]

I was impressed with Bogans. If he gets minutes he looks comfortable. His offense is still off, but his defense looks pretty damn good.

[ulosturedge]

I'm tired of caring atm.

[Death In June]

I liked RJ, Bogans and Dice

Finley and Mason were horribleMason is good in one role only, and that's starting at SG. He is useless everywhere else.

[superjames1992]

LOL at blaming Bonner for the loss.

[redzero]

Shit.

[NewJerSpur]

He hasn't been given any consistent court time to work out how to play in this system!

Start Dice. Start Bogans. Sit the "wide open 3pt... miss" brothers. Cross fingers and hope to hell Spurs ball turns up.

He's been owned on defense wit hthe time he's been given. Help defense aside, he's looked HORRIBLE going one-on-one, straight up.

[redzero]

Well, Spurs fans, at least you can watch Roger Federer on ESPN360 now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

At least my fantasy team doesn't suck...

Yeah, my teams rule too! :lol

Scant consolation when the Spurs look lost in the wilderness though... :depressed

[xellos88330]

I cannot knock the effort. It was definitely there tonight. I wasn't expecting it on the second night of a b2b.

Overall, I am pleased with the defense the last 3 quarters.

[Death In June]

I think I'll get back to watching spurs basketball once they put a legit center alongside Tim. This small ball for 4 quarters shit is lame and frustrating to watch. We have two pieces with height, plug one of them in and get on with it.

[alchemist]

Yeah, my teams rule too! :lol

Scant consolation when the Spurs look lost in the wilderness though... :depressed
no pain no gain, these tough moments are building blocks :toast

[sammy]

Dice, Bogans played well. Once again, Finley and Bonner sucked! Pop the stubborn donkey needs to bench these worthless idiots! I just don't understand why he continues to play them? They just plain suck! Manu looked rusty so it's going to take some time to get in playing shape! Pinche Pop needs realized that his favorites the worthless ones Bonner & Finley just don't work! They are defensive liabilities and now offensive liabilities as well!:bang

[4RINGS]

Yep, I am proud of the spurs. They tried really hard down the stretch. I agree with everybody that Bogans played well tonight, and Dice too in the second half. I am worried about manu, he is just not the same anymore.


Why did Parker only play 11 minutes??

[Ice009]

if anything good comes out of tony going down maybe hill finally gets some big minutes and picks his game up

Do we even make a comeback with Tony out there tonight? I am a lot more encouraged with Hill's defense. I want a defensive tone set from the start. If that means starting Bogans, Ratliff and Hill then I am all for it.

TP can come in off the bench when he is back if he is that gassed after 3 games.

[VivaPopovich]

I cannot knock the effort. It was definitely there tonight. I wasn't expecting it on the second night of a b2b.

Overall, I am pleased with the defense the last 3 quarters.

exactly, it was a great effort. it was a fun game, the jefferson dunk was sick. just hang in there ya'll

small-ball isn't going to take us anywhere down the line. i still can't stand that pop does it but i'd rather have RJ as our PF than Bonner

[Parker2112]

Oh well, we lost. Manu needs to get his head out of his ass. He's nowhere near where he needs to be. I say less minutes for Manu these next couple of games.

If Tony plays the next game, the offense needs to revolve around him and RJ. I'd also like to see some high low action with Tim and Dyess.

If TP plays the next game, he needs to watch tape of GH's play on the defensive end...

[Ice009]

If TP plays the next game, he needs to watch tape of GH's play on the defensive end...

Like I said a few posts ago if TP is that gassed and can't play any defense at all then he needs to come in off the bench when he comes back. Does anyone notice it, but his body language looks pretty bad when we get down or when he gets scored on. I don't like that shit from TP.

I want to see a defensive tone from the start. Ratliff, Bogans and Hill. If they have to start to help set the tone then I am all for it.
