11/21 - Spurs vs Wizards Game blog

[raspsa]

Spurs going for the jugular.. Dice complementing Timmy very well just like Pop envisioned.

[Muser]

Fuck haywood, don't do that to timmy..

[duncan228]

Duncan even making FT's. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ too passive on the 3pt line. He needs to cut to the basket more

[Pauleta14]

This game reminds me how good Parker is. It also reminds me how advanced Parker is as a playmaker compared to Hill.

+1

Good to hear!!

there was kind of a collective amnesia on ST these days...

[duncan228]

I think he'll only get better as the season goes on and he gets in shape


If it's a blowout, I hope Tim gets some rest.

Agree to both.

[Brazil]

good pass tony !! damn RJ is so static

[Chieflion]

2 straight sucky defensive posessions.

[timvp]

Wizards getting some lucky bounces

[siraulo23]

jefferson is lost :(

[45 bank shot]

tony fade awayy

[Muser]

Man if RJ can fit in this lineup would be unstoppable.

[45 bank shot]

I really hope this one is on League Pass BB cuz my dorm's tv doesn't have NBA TV

[timvp]

Parker's defense by far the best of his season.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

" try to block out the vision from behind " lawl

[Muser]

TP just can't miss

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

TP w/ tons of energy

[timvp]

Finley's first career jump ball.

[duncan228]

I really hope this one is on League Pass BB cuz my dorm's tv doesn't have NBA TV

NBA TV is blacked out on Broadband. I guess they consider it national like TNT, ESPN, and ABC.

[Muser]

Nice hustle.

[angelbelow]

nice to see dice cleaning up the boards.

[The Red Hood]

Nice and1.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bogans and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[timvp]

lol gilbert arenas

[Chieflion]

Finley won the jump ball and Bogans get a 3 point play.

[Pauleta14]

Parker's defense by far the best of his season.

when needed!!!!
that just how he is, he won't change...

[Muser]

:lmao

[alchemist]

*remembers when people were upset in the preseason over the Bogans signing* :lol

[Bambililos]

Wow finley, nice jump

[angelbelow]

bogans is not too bad in the open cout =p

[Chieflion]

*remembers when people were upset in the preseason over the Bogans signing* :lol
Try looking at the 2nd page. LOL that idiot.

[Muser]

Right, give Malik some burn.

[Spurs Brazil]

Parker's defense by far the best of his season.

I think it's easily the best game of the season for TP

[timvp]

Damn, Duncan literally didn't touch him :lol

[Chieflion]

Bad call. Jamison gets the call when he was the one who pushed off.

[Spurs Brazil]

Let's hope RMJ can get it going now in the blowout

[45 bank shot]

can we get some more hairston and Blair please?

[Chieflion]

Richard Jefferson, please attack the rim.

[Muser]

Refs wtf?

[Danny.Zhu]

Our free throw is a lot better when we don't need them...

[raspsa]

Get RJ back in the game and force feed him the ball.

[Chieflion]

Jamison is like the refs' favourite power forward this game.

[The Truth #6]

A 23 point lead. It's important that we play Finley as much as possible and not Hairston. And no reason to play Blair either.

[The Red Hood]

That's it RJ, go to the basket.

[Muser]

That's it RJ, get to the damn line.

[Spurs Brazil]

Rj 33333333333333333333333333333333333

[The Red Hood]

There's RJ's confidence.

[benefactor]

Maybe that will get him going.

[Muser]

Yes!

[Brazil]

I'm sorry to say that but big part of RJ problem is RJ himself: he doesn't move, doesn't ask the ball, stay at the 3 pts line and wait...

[alchemist]

Try looking at the 2nd page. LOL that idiot.
:lol

He may not be Bruce (yet) but offensively and defensively he's a stud. Underrated pickup by the Spurs.

[Danny.Zhu]

Oberto's passing...

[angelbelow]

beautiful.

[Muser]

Halfway through the 3rd and wizards only scored 50, that's what i'm talking about :tu

[angelbelow]

blair and hairston please!

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason is so bad, so bad on D, it's painful to watch

[Chieflion]

blair and hairston please!
Yep. I wanna see Hill, Blair and Hairston play together.

[Admidave50]

it'll be good to see some Hairston

[spurspokesman]

Looking at it, it's unfair to blame RJ. Pop needs to tell TP and co. to stop treating RJ like Finley or Mason.
Exactly.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

WTH does mason know how to play D

[angelbelow]

okay maybe not yet.. but would be nice to b able to rest dunc and parker from here on out.

[alchemist]

Halfway through the 3rd and wizards only scored 50, that's what i'm talking about :tu
Can't take too much from this game, these guys played last night.

[Johnny RIngo]

Mason is so bad, so bad on D, it's painful to watch

Even worse is that he said he focused on defense during the summer.

[Spurs Brazil]

I'm sorry to say that but big part of RJ problem is RJ himself: he doesn't move, doesn't ask the ball, stay at the 3 pts line and wait...

Agree, he needs to cut to the basket more, too passive there

But I think he's D got better since the start of the season

[Johnny RIngo]

Can't take too much from this game, these guys played last night.

Agreed. Spurs aren't going to convince anyone until they beat a decent team on the road.

[Chieflion]

WTH does mason know how to play D
No he does not. At least Finley can deny a player a ball for some time, Finley's off ball defense is ok. But once the player gets the ball, shit. Mason is worse. His opponent gets the ball easily and scores easily.

[Spurs Brazil]

Even worse is that he said he focused on defense during the summer.

I'd rather see him focused on shoting, now he can't shot and he can't play D

[Muser]

Do these refs know the rules?

[45 bank shot]

is the beast in the doghouse now?

[TDMVPDPOY]

ratliff in limited minutes is filling up the stat sheet fkn nice

[Chieflion]

That was goaltending. These refs don't know shit.

[Muser]

Nice Bogans

[spurspokesman]

Do these refs know the rules?
Nope. And were trying to let the wiz back in it

[Brazil]

what happened to Matt ? he is giving hustles, rebounds and his D is quite decent

[Danny.Zhu]

Where is Blair? Where is Hairston?

[Chieflion]

Didn't Javale McGee just push Bogans away to give Arenas room?

[TDMVPDPOY]

first half rebs > what we get for total in a game

[Muser]

Finally...

[bdictjames]

31% shooting for them? Wow, Spurs.

Tim and Tony are doing fine.

[angelbelow]

mase!

[Chieflion]

Manu does not look happy on the bench. Get well soon, Manu.

[Muser]

I like this Bonner, he needs to show up more often.

[weebo]

yawn

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 333333333333333333333333333333333

Spurs up 22

[Chieflion]

Bonner hits the three to end the quarter! The Red Rocket doing what he does best.

[Danny.Zhu]

Finally a play from Bonner and Mason...

[angelbelow]

there we go!

[Libri]

Good shot by Matt. :tu

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

so after beating the suns one night, the hornets are beating the hawks tonight ! thats pretty impressive

[The Red Hood]

Bonner plays better when he comes off the bench. Who knew?

[bdictjames]

13 pages for the game.. we need to step it up fellas!

[Chieflion]

And the Nets are 0-14. Can it get worse than that?

[Spurs Brazil]

Now Blair will play the whole 4th quarter and put 10pts 10rebs and someone will start a thread "Pop is dumb, why he doesn't play the beast" :lol

[Muser]

Finally a play from Bonner and Mason...

I understand the mason hate, but how can you be hating on Bonner this game? He's played pretty damn well.

[benefactor]

Can't take too much from this game, these guys played last night.

Agreed. Spurs aren't going to convince anyone until they beat a decent team on the road.
Leave it to Spur fan to find the pile of dog shit in a bed of roses.

[urunobili]

can we see some Blair + Hairston :pop:? thanks in advance, ST

[The Red Hood]

Mase.

[benefactor]

13 pages for the game.. we need to step it up fellas!
They would rather post when we are losing.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 333333333

[Chieflion]

Mason finally hits another one.

[Danny.Zhu]

Mason 3!!!

[Chieflion]

Then he chucks up another stupid one.

[angelbelow]

nice mase again. good shit

[The Red Hood]

Rmj!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lawl at the wiz zone

[Danny.Zhu]

[Chieflion]

Then he hits another one. Mason is a weird guy.

Nah. It's more about him NOT playing PG.

Wiz helping Mason out of his shooting slump. Thanks fellas.
Gift from his old team.

[Muser]

So pop...Hairston + Blair please.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp +32

[Chieflion]

Pop, you know we are up 24 points in the 4th quarter? You know that right? Please sub out our stars for our young guys.

[urunobili]

now we just need Sacramento to rip away the Rox to call it a perfect night...

[alchemist]

Leave it to Spur fan to find the pile of dog shit in a bed of roses.
:lol The fuck are you talking about? I'm not a cliff jumper after tough losses. I'm not popping champagne for destroying a tired Wizards team.

[benefactor]

Tp +32
Bananas.

[angelbelow]

cant wait to get manu back too so we can gel with a full team.

[bdictjames]

:lol The fuck are you talking about? I'm not a cliff jumper after tough loses. I'm not popping champagne for destroying a tired Wizards team.
Yet people flip out when we lose to a contender like the Mavs.

Let's just view it as a win/loss.. until the postseason.

[Pauleta14]

The beginning of the 4th is a good example why Tony doesn't have more assists.
The last 4 or 5 plays were beatifully made and athough TP did his "job", no assist!

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop, you know we are up 24 points in the 4th quarter? You know that right? Please sub out our stars for our young guys.

Maybe he's trying to built something with TP, RJ and other new guys

[angelbelow]

yea i agree, we should at least play hairston OR blair. he doesnt have to play both if hes that uncomfortable with them, but they deserve a chance to play and make some mistakes; then learn from those mistakes.

[benefactor]

:lol The fuck are you talking about? I'm not a cliff jumper after tough loses. I'm not popping champagne for destroying a tired Wizards team.
I didn't say that. I said you were searching for negative in a very positive game for us. Dog shit...roses.

[Chieflion]

Maybe he's trying to built something with TP, RJ and other new guys
I hope so. Cause Jefferson is still not getting plays run for him.

[Danny.Zhu]

You had to admit Ratliff don't care about 3s violation.

[Chieflion]

Bonner with another 3. Stupid Wizards.

[HarlemHeat37]

Great game tonight..

What a difference it makes when Tony plays like our #1 option, everything else falls into place..

It was also good to see a huge effort, this should be the standard for every night..Parker actually played D tonight, Finley actually moved tonight, Bonner is everywhere..we need this same effort from those guys in particular every night..

[Danny.Zhu]

Bonner!

[TDMVPDPOY]

matt into double digits lmao

[The Red Hood]

Hill's getting ready to sub in.

[TinTin]

LMAO the commentator said this about parker taking a jumper

"Just dont get hurt on this final play"

[benefactor]

lol RJ feeling now that the game is out of reach.

[Danny.Zhu]

Rj 3!!!

[The Red Hood]

Blair getting ready to come in as well.

[angelbelow]

damn its a shootout!

[Muser]

Finally some Blair.

[angelbelow]

[Chieflion]

Looks like the NBA tv crew wants to see Blair.

[Bambililos]

Still time for a Blair double-double

[Danny.Zhu]

Blair and Hill in.

[Death In June]

It'd be nice to see Ian or Haslip here.

[timaios]

Still time for a Blair double-double

:lol

[alchemist]

I didn't say that. I said you were searching for negative in a very positive game for us. Dog shit...roses.
I'm not searching for negatives, I'm pointing out the obvious. Fortunately the Bucks don't come off a back-to-back on Monday to really gauge where the Spurs are at.

[The Red Hood]

Ratliff has been active tonight. :tu

[Muser]

Blair down low, I like.

[Chieflion]

Hairston enters the game, fellas.

[angelbelow]

That was a nifty behind the back pass by Mason.
Too bad Blair still does not know about the 3 second violation.

Fun night. We needed a game like this.

[alchemist]

Too bad Blair still does not know about the 3 second violation.

[angelbelow]

this is a slaughter, but very nice to see hill blair and hairston on the court at the same time.

[The Red Hood]

Too bad Blair still does not know about the 3 second violation.
Yeah, I was looking at the positive. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

[NRHector]

How about the H.E.B commercials? they were hilariuos:lol

[Sotongball21]

I didn't watch the game, but looking at the box score, wiz's shooting % was 33, we played good D today?

[SKINNYPIMP210]

I didn't watch the game, but looking at the box score, wiz's shooting % was 33, we played good D today?

Yeah I wish someone recorded it cause I tried to watch it on justin.tv but the feed was horrible! But from the little I saw the Wiz just jacked up any shot! However we did play pretty good D and we hit the boards hard!

[HarlemHeat37]

The D has been noticeably better for a few games now..

It starts with Duncan IMO, he's getting in better shape, and he's been very, very good defensively in the past few games..tonight was beautiful..Parker played nice D, even Finley was moving..McDyess and Duncan look solid together defensively, Ratliff brings a big presence off the bench, Hill and Bogans did what they do, and RJ is looking a lot better defensively..

we need this effort EVERY night on D to get back to Spurs defense..effort is arguably just as important as ability when it comes to defense..

[ElNono]

I don't see a W tonight, unless TP has a big game, which hasn't been a given with the way he's performed so far..Haywood usually defends Duncan very well, so that's going to be tough..

:hat

[HarlemHeat37]

I was 1 out of 2..I'll take 50%..no win tonight without Tony's dominance;)..

Haywood usually defends Duncan well..I guess Timmy heard he was being called serviceable by some Spurs fans, stepped his game up for us tonight..

[ElNono]

why why why why did we pick up bogans, :bang:bang:bang
we don't need him, he's just one more new player taking minutes from better players and making it even harder for this team to build some chemistry on the court.

:rolleyes

[ElNono]

I was 1 out of 2..I'll take 50%..no win tonight without Tony's dominance;)..

Haywood usually defends Duncan well..I guess Timmy heard he was being called serviceable by some Spurs fans, stepped his game up for us tonight..

It's ok. I screw up too. I just started reading the thread and now that the game has been played, some stuff is actually kinda funny. :lol

[ElNono]

The defensive effort really won this game for us. I like Bogans starting just tonset a defensive tone. I think Pop is going to eventually have to call actual plays for RJ when TP and TD are out there. I also would love to see the team take more advantage of Dice's silk smooth J.
Defensively, I agree that it starts with TD, but Bogans is a big part also, and so is Hill. I love Theo roaming the paint. He's going to be blocking a lot of shots this season.

I know it's just the Wiz, but overall I thought there were bright spots out there.

[NRHector]

I was 1 out of 2..I'll take 50%..no win tonight without Tony's dominance;)..

Haywood usually defends Duncan well..I guess Timmy heard he was being called serviceable by some Spurs fans, stepped his game up for us tonight..:tu

[xellos88330]

Hehe! I was at the game and the Spurs win big! Told you all. :D

[bdictjames]

Duncan should've scored 4 more points to break that jinx lol.

Parker scores 17 in Spurs’ rout of Wizards (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap?gid=2009112124&prov=ap)
By Paul J. Weber

Ten days and four games later, the San Antonio Spurs won for what Tim Duncan said felt like the first time in a year and a half.

The Washington Wizards lost another, and after getting blown out for the second time in two nights, the frustration is starting to show.

Tony Parker scored 17 points and the Spurs stopped a three-game losing streak with a 106-84 win over the Wizards on Saturday night. Afterward, San Antonio hoped the win begins the turnaround of what has been one of the most dreary starts in the Duncan era.

“We have to try to get a streak going,” Duncan said.

The Spurs hit the 10-game mark with their first losing record since 1996. San Antonio is now 5-6 with five of its next six games at home.

Washington is off to its own dreadful start at 3-9, and after losing for the eighth time in nine games, the Wizards began putting the blame on egos and hidden agendas without calling anyone out by name.

The loss was the worst yet this season for Washington, topping what had been their worst loss Friday night after going down 127-108 at Oklahoma City.

“Everyone’s got their own individual goals, I guess. Hidden agendas,” guard Gilbert Arenas said. “You can’t win like that.”

Arenas continued: “I guess when you start losing, everyone wants to start pointing fingers everywhere else. I converted my game to try and get people involved.”

It didn’t work. Arenas scored 18 points and Antawn Jamison had 15, but the Wizards shot a season-low 33 percent from the field. Arenas shot 7 of 18 but said he could have put up plenty more.

“I think the only person who actually had to sacrifice (to win) was me,” Arenas said.

Six of Washington’s losses have been by double digits.

“Move the (darn) ball. Play some defense,” center Brendan Haywood said.

It was far more relaxed in the Spurs’ locker room. Duncan had 16 points and nine rebounds, and Richard Jefferson added 15 points.

Parker played for only the second time in six games after being bothered by a bad ankle.

“I was a little worried. I didn’t want to bring him back too early,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “But he had his quickness. I thought he did a fine job out there.”

Washington hasn’t won in San Antonio since 1999. But unlike Thursday night against Utah, which also hadn’t won here in decade, the Spurs kept this streak going.

San Antonio is now looking for a winning streak, and more defense like this will help: The Spurs kept the Wizards below 100 points for the first time in four games, and held an opponent below 90 for only the second time this season.

The usually dependable Spurs defense has been marginal so far, giving up an average of 98.8 points entering Saturday’s game. Between shaky defense and injuries—Manu Ginobili is out at least until next week with a strained left groin—the revamped Spurs have not been the power many predicted.

But 5-6 is still where the Spurs were a year ago before going on to win the Southwest Division.

Randy Foye had 10 points, the only other Wizards player in double figures.

San Antonio led 52-40 at halftime, then buried the Wizards with a 22-8 burst to start the third. Duncan, who also had seven assists, scored eight in the quarter, then took a seat the rest of the night.

Matt Bonner scored 12 and Roger Mason had 11 for San Antonio.

To add to Washington’s bad news, guard Mike Miller could miss a month after straining his right calf in the first quarter and leaving the game. Washington coach Flip Saunders said trainers thought Miller “might have popped it,” and if that’s the case, it could be four to five weeks.

“We’re very much in a bad situation,” Saunders said. “A lot of guys are frustrated, including me.”

Notes: The Spurs outrebounded the Wizards 59-44. …Wizards C Fabricio Oberto had two points and four rebounds against his former team.

Bonner was (3-4) from long-range. Can we cut him some slack now?

No. I'm tired of all the people jumping on his bandwagon the moment he has a decent game against a shitty team.

"I told ya Bonner was good!" Oh shutup with that already. A lot of his ferocious defenders only do so cause they want to look like their in the smart minority. If he was a Laker there would be no disagreement at all.

I will admit to my own dismay and to the dismay of others, he does currently deserve more PT than Blair. Pop did a genius job of only playing Bonner when he's playing with Theo Ratliff. And in one posession you saw exactly why. I think Andray Blatche backed bonner down to the rim and was about to get an easy layup when Theo comes in from the weak-side and blocks the shot. I've also noticed that Pop likes playing Bonner in the final 1:30 to spread the floor for Timmy. I think Pop should give Dice a chance to hit those same 3's. But I'm just glad Matt isn't getting as much PT in crucial games as he once was.

Parker is back to old form altho he needs to stop falling on the floor like that. Jefferson was hitting his jump shots which I hope continues. Theo had a monster game and did more than just block shots. And still blocked a lot of shots.

Fabricio Oberto was great out there. I don't know why he didn't get more PT, the Wizards looked pathetic out there, they can use his veteran leadership.

Overall a good game for the Spurs a much-needed morale booster.
