Spurs vs. Timberwolves April 20th -- Game Blog

[timvp]

60?

[MeAndBobThrowChairs]

ya buddy you know what happened last times we got those 60 wins right? is it gonna be on espn or not?

[Ginofan]

LOL, I just caught the Tpups pregame here on DTV and they were doing a "Look on the brighter side of life" montage :lol :lol :lol

[Manu20]

Look for Big Dog to have a huge game. 20+points

[MeAndBobThrowChairs]

is it on espn?

[Manu20]

is it on espn?
No.
I think it is going to be the Pacers vs Bulls.

[T Park]

It is, ESPN dropped this game due to it not meaning shit.


I look for big games from Marks, Big Dog, Wilks, and what the hell, Tim Duncan.

[SequSpur]

Spurs lose by 30.

Nice.

[T Park]

if they do? Will you go away permanently?? PLEASE!!!!

[pooh]

Reason ESPN is running the Bulls/Pacers is cause it's Reggie's final regular season game. If the Spurs would've won on Mon night, I'm sure they would've had the game on.

[vsnba]

I am Jackonville, fl , which radio station I can listen the game

[T Park]

NBA.Com

[T Park]

If the Spurs would've won on Mon night, I'm sure they would've had the game on.

even if they would have won monday tonight's game would have been, once again, worthless.

So that point is moot.

[vsnba]

is it free

[T Park]

no you gotta pay.

If your in jacksonville, you pretty much gotta pay to watch or listen to the game.

Sucks I know, but thats life.

If your in jacksonville, you pretty much gotta pay to watch or listen to the game.

Sucks I know, but thats life.

It is free this week

[boutons]

What ugly fricking basketball.
Spurs shooting 18%, will have to bust their asses to get 15 pts in first qtr. in the face of TWolves' incredibly punishing defense.

Spurs are tired, saving themselves for the playoffs. :)

[TDfan2007]

Tim can't hit a shot to save his life. :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss

Garnett is owning us!

[T Park]

guys.

This game means nothing. Why are you worried so much about the goddamn game.


Beno is looking good, hopefully he carries this game into the playoffs.

Gonna need him VS Boykins.

him getting 8 points, Robinson 8 or 10 will be key to beating the Nuggets.

[tw05baller]

at least the clocks working ok

[TDfan2007]

I personally think it would be shameful to lose to a Minnesota team that is going fishing in about a week. We need this game to fine tune ourselves for the playoffs and winning would be a good way to do that.

[TDfan2007]

Tim another miss 0-6; he won't even get 10 at this rate

[twincam]

Yeah, they need to win this game...
They're way off sync.
Duncan is not hitting his shots, and needs to improve TONIGHT

The T-Wolves are raining threes on the Spurs...
Once again, they're not playing with heart

[TDfan2007]

he got one!!!!!!!!!! :elephant :elephant :elephant

[tw05baller]

sux

[TDfan2007]

well... I guess I jynxed him, lol

[twincam]

Why are they passing up open shots and not going for the layups on fastbreaks?
They just pass up the high percentage and open shots and create hard shots.
What gives!?

[tw05baller]

ffff

[TDfan2007]

well this is a great way to prepare for the playoffs!!!!

don't give a shit about ur last 2 games of the regular season games and lose to 2 teams on a major meltdown. PERFECT!!!!!

[tw05baller]

how do u get pics in ur signature??
please tell me someone

[twincam]

It's quite simple...
First you find a picture that's already online, type in the link...
and add this in front of the link then you add this at the end of the link
something like that.

[twincam]

I'm trying to post a picture here but I'm having a hard time doing so.

[tw05baller]

im trying
btw thanks for ur help

[tw05baller]

h

[tw05baller]

stay 10f

[tw05baller]

now my signature isnt coming up at all

[TDfan2007]

Tim and Garnett are just about equal in productivity... and neither has been very productive at all. 3-12 for KG and 1-8 for Tim :vomit

It's a good thing that this isn't being televised nationally because this is embarrassing.

[twincam]

OH MY GOODNESS...I MANAGED TO GET A PICTURE POSTED...I GUESS I DID IT RIGHT...
By the way...that's me about 7 years ago...

[Jimcs50]

Parker and Manu have 5 pts betw them in 1st half.

Wow, our backcourt is ready for the playoffs.

[boutons]

The Spurs are gonna have a 80-pt second half. :)

[twincam]

Not by the way they're shooting...it's like if they're waiting for something...

[ALVAREZ6]

what the fuck!!!!

Spurs better come back and win by more than 1 point!!!!
I'm not in the mood for losing half of my money...

[MeAndBobThrowChairs]

whatttttttttt who cares we arent evn trying,yall chill out.

[twincam]

Nice shoes

[bigbendbruisebrother]

The Minny announcers sound like reporters covering a funeral. Its giving me some satisfaction that I normally wouldn't find watching the typical shitty road game.

At one point, one announcer asked the other, "How do you feel at this point." The guy responded, "I've moved from frustrated to angry." The other announcer responded, "I've moved from anger to acceptance."

So while you're watching the Spurs stink it up in a game they don't give a shit about, take some comfort from Minny's misery.

[MeAndBobThrowChairs]

who is minny

[ALVAREZ6]

who is minny
minneapolis

[MeAndBobThrowChairs]

kori what was the number bill shoening just said to call if you know the trivia question about the sec confrence players

[slayermin]

Damn, is Bigg Dog's shot pure or what?

[MeAndBobThrowChairs]

anyone know what that nunber was??????????

[milkyway21]

the Wolves are sweating it out HARD in a Spurs Pre-playoff WARM-UP :lol :lol :lol

[kskonn]

I am in cleveland tonight and can not get the game. Have they said why Barry has not seen any minutes tonight?

[Jimcs50]

This team is not, I repeat not, going to win the first round series.

[MeAndBobThrowChairs]

what the hells wrong with you jim?

[kskonn]

seriously, why no barry????

[Tek_XX]

Should anyone care about these games, god knows the spurs don't. Let's hope the Spurs have the ability to turn it on when it matters.

[slayermin]

Barry has a thigh contusion, I believe.

[Jimcs50]

what the hells wrong with you jim?


I am depressed and pissed off at this team's play.

[milkyway21]

I am in cleveland tonight and can not get the game. Have they said why Barry has not seen any minutes tonight?bruised thigh :rolleyes

[Jimcs50]

they are playing like they do not give a rat's ass.

[Jimcs50]

I wasted another evening watching them play like crap, and it pisses me off.

[MeAndBobThrowChairs]

just chill, games meaningless...these last two games havent mattered and they are showing it. we will do fine in the playoffs.

[MeAndBobThrowChairs]

i cannot understand shit from this radio whats the score after 3? 75-57 or 65-57?

[slayermin]

Actually, I was hoping Pop was gonna sit TD and Manu.

But this is just as good. I would like to see a better effort from T-Mass and Marks, though.

[Jimcs50]

just chill, games meaningless...these last two games havent mattered and they are showing it. we will do fine in the playoffs.


Yes, but they are playing totally opposite than they have in their 2 championship years.

How can they just turn it on after sucking for over a month?

tell me and convince me how, and I will feel better.

[Tek_XX]

Of course these games are meaningless, how else to you explain being down 20 to minnesota. But the Spurs haven't played a good complete game since i can't remember, absolutely no momentum.

[MeAndBobThrowChairs]

well the games they have tried look how good they have looked. rockets,sonics,grizzlies at home, both the double ot wins and the hawks. They're just giving it up, they will turn it on.

nuggets series
game 1-close win
game 2-blow them out
game 3-close loss in denver
game 4-win by 13 or less
game 5-we blow them out badly

[MeAndBobThrowChairs]

we played a complete good game on saturday.

[Tek_XX]

Any evidence that this team can turn it on, i don't know if this is that kind of team.

[milkyway21]

okay Pops rest the TD, TP, & Manu. This is a meaningless game. Forget the 60W

give Minny the chance to display their form before they say "adios" to each other. Be considerate. :D

they might not be able to play w/ each other again next season.

[boutons]

Hey, homers, "it's only game", who TF cares about round numbers like 60 wins?

The Spurs offense is one of the most powerful in franchise history.

The Spurs are building their shooting momentum, from 20% in the first half all the way up to 38% to start the 4th quarter. 4th qtr, they blow out the TWolves.

Just curious, do the Spurs get paid for tonight, or is Peter Holt having also having hard time getting his pen going?

[MeAndBobThrowChairs]

then dont watch the playoffs, i think i'll go to about 2 or 3 playoff games. tell me where you live and ill send you a program with the box score and recap attatched.

[Tek_XX]

Milkyway, screw minnesota, who cares about their fans

[bigbendbruisebrother]

they are playing like they do not give a rat's ass.

I'm pretty sure they don't.

They'll kick ass come Sunday though.

As your attorney, I advise you to have a beer and change the channel.

[Jimcs50]

ok, I feel better, thanx

[bigbendbruisebrother]

ok, I feel better, thanx

You're welcome.

Detaching myself as a Spurs fan comes easy when necessary. I had season tickets in 88-89.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

^^^

The whole damn year was a tuneup entitled, waiting for David Robinson, with Frank Brickowski playing the lead role. It was ugly.

[milkyway21]

Milkyway, screw minnesota, who cares about their fans...who is? :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes

all i care about is TD, TP & Manu LET THEM REST ....

THIS IS A MEANINGLESS GAME they want to make statement, let them win the game,they are going to win anyway :rolleyes(up by 21 pts.)

Let's go prepare for the playoffs. :pctoss

[dn0]

ok 25 points down is enough , even when you don't care.

[leemajors]

they are making ebi look pretty good. and he is not.

[Dre_7]

Oh no!! This season is a failure!!! We wont get 60 wins!! :cry :cry :cry

Even if we sweep the whole playoffs and win the title, it wont mean anything, cuz all anyone is going to talk about, is SA's crappy performance in the last game of the reg season vs. Min. :pctoss

[leemajors]

this game is totally meaningless, but manu really needs a haircut. his nasty locks are holding him back

[bigbendbruisebrother]

From the Tony Parker interview posted yesterday (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13931)

Minnesota won’t go in the PO, you know you’ll get the 2nd seed of the Western Conference. What will this game look like?

Parker: A small soft game, where we mustn’t get hurt.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

this game is totally meaningless, but manu really needs a haircut. his nasty locks are holding him back

There's gotta be a heat retention factor.

[boutons]

Tank the game, ok, but do they really have to get blown and not reach 80 pts?

When was the last solid W by a 100% healthy Spurs against a good team? It looks like:

Wed 23 Feb Houston@SBC W 99 - 81

2 fricking months!! What an injury-fucked-up, frustrating season.

[T Park]

Boutons.

You need to shut the fuck up already.


Whats the point of winning this game again??


To satisfy you???

If so, who gives a fuck.

Go away.

[spurster]

At least we are sure that the Spurs know how to tank before the playoffs.

[TwoHandJam]

Damn that was some ugly basketball. I know the Spurs really weren't playing to win but I was pretty depressed that they couldn't get a lead with all the starters in there against the lowly Wolves.

The Spurs are definitely not entering the playoffs on a roll like they usually do. It's weird to see. They've never been known as a team that can just "flip the switch" but damn, I sure hope they can. At least the first two games are at home where they've played well all year. They definitely didn't seem to have any rythm out there tonight, even with the starters in the game.

Disturbing.

[tw05baller]

how do u change the words from lottery pick to something else under your name?

[Dre_7]

Lets just all relax. You can bitch all you want if they lose on Sunday, but today, who gives???

[bigbendbruisebrother]

After you kiss my ass, T_pork, just IGNORE me, you'll enjoy the forum much better.

like in 03 when they got blow out on there home court by Dallas??


Of course.


Fire pop for not playing all the starters 30 minutes and wasting them tonight.

[T Park]

just IGNORE me, you'll enjoy the forum much better

No, the forum would be better if you just left.


DO us all a fuckin favor.

Heck they even lossed the 1st game of the playoffs that year. It all turned out Okay though.

Im not worried at all. Denver doesnt scare me.

[tw05baller]

b-b-bb-bu-but-but-BUTTERS!

[T Park]

Well I think its different SASpurs, in that for the Spurs themselves it would help to win that first game.

I think you get the first two games your gonna be alright.


The big game would be then game 3, if the Spurs could bust ass, squeek out one there, they would sweep them.

Im not expecting that to be done, but it CAN be.

Itll be very very tough, Denver is damn good.

[weebo]

Make any excuse you want [injuries, fatigue, boredom, trouble with the wife,etc...] but the fact of the matter is the Spurs over the last month have been up and down. Like it or not this years version of the playoff Spurs are backing into the playoffs. I think we should all feel a little uneasy going aganist the Nugs in this first round. They've been rolling since the all star break and we're hobbling into the playoffs. Not a good thing at all.

[milkyway21]

Not a good thing at all...the Spurs were rolling after the playoffs in 2003, but lost the 1st game against Phoenix w/ that Marbury's crunch shot. :rolleyes

don't worry, the Spurs will win the 1st rnd. Believe is still alive.

P.S. the Nuggets are "rollin'" bec. they got pissed off they got no invites in the All-STar Game this season :lol

[TwoHandJam]

Of course.

Look if you want to stop being the forum bitch, you're going to have rub those two brain cells together and think instead of trying to thrust your prepubescent, knee-jerk conclusions on everyone.

In '03, the Spurs won 12 of their last 14 regular season games. The game they lost to Dallas was the token throwaway last game of the season, much like last night's game. That's called rolling into the playoffs.

This year, we've won 6 of our last 11 games heading into the playoffs. That's called backing into the playoffs. Even if we consider the last game of the season a throwaway game, we couldn't even grab a lead with our starting lineup out there. Forget grabbing a lead, the starters couldn't even trim a deficit.

I could care less about winning that game or how many minutes the starters played but when I see the starters in there, I expect them to at least look in synch.

Next time, think before you post.

[MadDog73]

It's called sarcasm TwoHandJam.

T-Park was responding to the quote that the Spurs are not entering on the roll that they usually do.

As far as I'm concerned, going on a roll didn't help much last year, so losing some games before the playoffs can't hurt this year.

It's a whole new Playoffs, kiddies! Spurs will win on Sunday. Mark it.

He was being sarcastic, yes, but he was doing so as to imply that posters looking critically at the state of the team entering the playoffs are judging them solely on last night's performance. TPark's myopia knows no bounds as you'll soon come to discover.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

spurs havent had a solid win against a playoff team since what? febuary i think against houston...i'm just super worried about their offense, cuz there have been WAY too many nights where these guys cant find the hole and it gets UGLY. And if it ends up taking the spurs 6 games to beat Denver, then its gonna be a long long road ahead of them. I just hope they get their sh*t together in time.
