Game Blog: Spurs vs. Bulls - Jan. 25

[phxspurfan]

Looks like the Bulls are coming in to this game hobbling (Noah with plantar fasciitis, Brad Miller's knee and Derrick Rose's illness). Expect them to come out like wounded Bulls...

[sa_butta]

It all sounds like a win until the Spurs play down to the level of the competition.

[ffadicted]

DRose - Hill is gonna be an unreal matchup to watch tonight

[phxspurfan]

DRose - Hill is gonna be an unreal matchup to watch tonight

Definitely. And I can't wait to watch him go up against Rondo later, too.

[duncan228]

Rose may not be playing.


Rose a game-time call Monday: According to Bulls announcer Chuck Swirsky's Twitter feed, Derrick Rose (http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasybasketball/players/playerpage/1622510) will be a game-time decision for Monday's game in San Antonio due to an illness.
(Updated 01/25/2010).

[Dex]

Great, I can just picture it now...DRose misses the game, the Spurs let down their guard, the rest of the Bulls show up inspired, and Aguy Youveneverheardof goes for a career night.

This is the danger, Spurs. *knocks on wood*

[ffadicted]

Rose may not be playing.

I really am starting to hate that guy! :lol

[Texas_Ranger]

Spurs please don't choke in the 3rd.

[TimDunkem]

Spurs please don't choke in the 3rd.
Please...

[Brazil]

Apparently Noah is also doutbful for tonite

[Chieflion]

I fully expect the Spurs to come out gunning and give us hope, and then lose almost all of the lead by halftime, then suck bg time in the 3rd, and then make a futile attempt to catch up.

[phxspurfan]

I don't see that typical scenario happening tonight.

a) we're on an extended losing streak
b) If the Bulls are w/o Noah AND Rose, they may not have the scoring punch to win

I do worry about, in the process of going all out (and this goes for the rest of the season against the tougher teams), Pop plays our Big 3 too much and tires them out before the playoffs. They're also susceptible to injury more when they're in constant catch-up mode, which we're in now.

Rose and Noah probably out.

Starters: Hinrich Salmons Deng Gibson Miller

Bench: Pargo Thomas Johnson Hunter

Watch James Johnson or Pargo light up the Spurs. Too bad Aaron Gray got traded. That would have been funny to see.

I didn't even know Aaron Gray was off the Bulls, see, he is so irrelevant that no one gives a shit.

[bigdog]

DAMMIT! I wanted to see Rose and Hill going at it.

[crc21209]

DAMMIT! I wanted to see Rose and Hill going at it.

Adam is gay..:lol

[phxspurfan]

Part of me expects that we will struggle this whole season with all these new people on the roster. But I don't think it's because all of these players with proven track records have suddenly lost all of their abilities.

I definitely think we'll be really good next season and in more of a position to win it all. After all, the guys will (hopefully, if theres no big shakeup) have a year to learn their new team identity and go through another training camp.

Another thing to predict is that after the free agent summer, many other teams will be adding new big talent and will be going through the growing pains we're going through now, just as we're hitting our stride in Duncan's last 2 years. That gives us the advantage next year.


Spurs - 2011 NBA Champions.

[duncanCOSTARICA]

not excited at all about watching this game against the bulls after droping the previous 2 (@ home) against play off teams.....a win like the one we are probably getting tonight dont give me any confidence.

[crc21209]

The Bulls have been hot as of late...they beat Phoenix and Houston in their own houses...a win tonight would be a quality win for the Spurs.

[Chieflion]

Their top two players might not even play.

[timtonymanu]

I didn't even know Aaron Gray was off the Bulls, see, he is so irrelevant that no one gives a shit.

lol i just remembered about him because he got traded to hornets for br's favorite player downtown devin brown.

[Libri]

Spurs have to be active on the boards. The Bulls are first in the NBA with 45.50.

[Chieflion]

lol i just remembered about him because he got traded to hornets for br's favorite player downtown devin brown.
Found it. This is recent news, right? Obviously, we won't see Devin Brown play the Spurs this season again.

[timtonymanu]

Found it. This is recent news, right? Obviously, we won't see Devin Brown play the Spurs this season again.

yep just happened today. i doubt brown will play tonight.

[crc21209]

Their top two players might not even play.

Noah probably won't play because of his foot but I'm almost positive Rose plays. And Brad Miller is no stiff...he had an amazing game against the Rockets starting in place of Noah...

[Chieflion]

Noah probably won't play because of his foot but I'm almost positive Rose plays. And Brad Miller is no stiff...he had an amazing game against the Rockets starting in place of Noah...
He probably had one of those nights when you know you can't miss. Miller had a very good career, considering he was even undrafted. Brad Miller will definitely not duplicate the rebounding ability of Noah, that is not possible, that is my only concern. Noah's hustle is what makes the Bulls. I really just want to see Tyrus Thomas and his basketball IQ this game, seeing a lottery talent screw up like Tyrus does really makes me lol. Another guy who really impressed is Taj Gibson. He rebounds and hustles, hit the jumper decently enough. James Johnson needs to hit the weights, lose the fat and gain the muscle.

Don Harris just reported on WOAI that Rose is expected to play even though he is sick. You're right Brad Miller is not the rebounder Noah is....BUT ...Noah isnt the shooter and has nowhere near the range that Brad Miller does. Miller can stroke the 3 for a big man as well...

We lost to the Bulls last time around because of Noah, I still have the shimmies. That guy is good. Every now and then you see him collecting 20+ rebounds, even with plantar. Respect! Now that Miller is old, the Spurs need to just stick to him. I am not worried about shooters, that is for sure, they can get cold or hot anytime, if they score, they score, the interior presence is what bothers me. Who rebounds more usually wins the game. Rose is playing, that is cool. We might see the real Rose.

[Ice009]

Alright I am ready to ROLL.


Let's fucking destroy these guys and get back to playing Spurs ball. Sweep the rest of the homestand and let's go on a rodeo rampage.

[Chieflion]

Go Spurs go. Beat the Bulls, no excuses.

[Chieflion]

I love that replay angle of Rose's dunk on Dragic.

[TPnumber1]

noah and rose are playing

[Spurs Brazil]

Rose and Noah starting

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck, Noah is playing so you can expect him to go off for a big night even with the PF.

[Chieflion]

Those two guys have balls.

[Ice009]

I like the starting 5 even though the result of the last game sucked.

No more Bogans with significant playing time. He's had enough chances.

[Chieflion]

Sean Elliott: Bring back the "D", for goodness sake.

[timtonymanu]

meh, whatever tests the spurs more. i kinda like that they are playing.

[Chieflion]

Blair has 2 rebounds and 2 points.

[Spurs Brazil]

The Beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TIMMYD!]

Please, no early leads, and if we do get one it better be 20+.

[Refocus]

Great start for Blair. :)

[Brazil]

rose and noah are playing ! nice

[Ice009]

That was awesome from Blair.

Great to see Blair kick the ball out twice to reset the offense!

That is the way to do it DeJuan rather than him going back up and trying to throw a bad shot up kicks back out to reset the offense. Good play DeJuan.

[Chieflion]

Richard Jefferson jam!

[Brazil]

assist and dunk nice to begin with

[TIMMYD!]

Two dunks in two possessions. :wow

[Libri]

Jefferson dunk

[cnyc3]

2 straight dunks. whats goin on

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ reverse dunk!!

[TIMMYD!]

Blair is gonna go off...

[Brazil]

wow tony is assisting the dunk show tonite

[L.I.T]

So I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Blair is Mad Blair today?

[TIMMYD!]

Why is Tim always short on FTs?

[TPnumber1]

great start tony
they cant stop him

[TIMMYD!]

Tony is going off also...

[TIMMYD!]

6 points for TP.

[cnyc3]

dammit we have a lead

[Brazil]

TP on fire ! man if he could keep that during 4 quarters, this team would be damn difficult to beat

[timtonymanu]

Tony's looking good right now.

[Refocus]

I'm afraid to get excited but they are doing good so far.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP looks heathy. Nice start

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i hate spurs leads early in the game, hope this one doesn't slip away

[Brazil]

3 min bulls with 2 pts 0 reb 0 assist 0 0 1 pf

[Ice009]

TP on fire ! man if he could keep that during 4 quarters, this team would be damn difficult to beat

I think TP might be ready. He looks sharp tonight. I think he's getting ready to start playing his real level.

[Pauleta14]

I'm afraid to get excited but they are doing good so far.


+1 :lol

[mystargtr34]

Good start.

[vander]

vbookie:

Will the Spurs build and blow a 15 point lead? Y/N


edit:
Yes - 3/2
No - 2/1
and lose by double digits - 4/1

[Libri]

The Bulls allow 98 points per game. The Spurs should be able to score a hundred plus.

[murpjf88]

Typical adrenalin rush to start the game. Well see how things shake out once chicago gets involved.

[the crimson blur]

This is by far the fastest I've seen Tony all year.

Spurs playing well.

[Libri]

Blair with another bucket.

[Ice009]

vbookie:

Will the Spurs build and blow a 15 point lead? Y/N

Spurs will keep the lead.

[cnyc3]

blair playing well

[Libri]

TP with a very nice assist to Blair for a layup.

[Refocus]

Holy shit this is some of the best passing I've seen from TP.

[Chieflion]

Tony Parker has been part of the score 100%.

[ffadicted]

Ladies and gentleman, if Tony parker plays anything like this in the playoffs and we can get Jeffy going, I present to you your 2010 NBA champions, the San Antonio Spurs

[Brazil]

I think TP might be ready. He looks sharp tonight. I think he's getting ready to start playing his real level.

I cross my fingers but since few games now he is playing damn well during the first half and then he is struggling especialy in the 3rd normally he come back strong for the last min of the 4th. We need a more balanced effort.

[Chieflion]

Nice cut, nice execution. Just don't break down.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

whats going on ? even tony is making Technical FT

[mystargtr34]

Ok double digit lead. I hate them because you know its gonna come back to even before the half.

[Brazil]

we need to take care of Kirk he can rain the 3s

[cnyc3]

here we go, leads down.

[Brazil]

good time out

[Spurs Brazil]

Bulls 7-0 run...

[Libri]

Bulls are catching up.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol this is getting old ...tooo old

[angelbelow]

Nice run by the bulls

[Chieflion]

Why does this shit always happen? Let us hope the Spurs respond to the timeout and rise to the challenge.

[timtonymanu]

knew when Hinrich hit that 3, Bulls were gonna go on a run. Spurs need to quit settling for jumpers at moments like this.

[Ice009]

I cross my fingers but since few games now he is playing damn well during the first half and then he is struggling especialy in the 3rd normally he come back strong for the last min of the 4th. We need a more balanced effort.

Let's see, but I think he looks different tonight. I can see some real focus from TP tonight.

[L.I.T]

Don't much care about their offense at the moment. The defense is still pretty lousy.

[TIMMYD!]

This is why nobody should get excited.

[bbarry]

I'm afraid to get excited but they are doing good so far.

well yeah any team can do good when their crowd is behind them early on in the game. crowd now died down, and so have the spurs. spurs have no, momentum now.

[45 bank shot]

lol this is getting old ...tooo old

can't agree more

[the crimson blur]

Bulls making contested jumpers. :(

[Ice009]

knew when Hinrich hit that 3, Bulls were gonna go on a run. Spurs need to quit settling for jumpers at moments like this.

You are correct. The Spurs need to be more aggressive in those situations and not settle for jumpers.

The defense has to be better though too. We gotta play defense.

[mystargtr34]

The problem really isnt hard to figure out. As soon as this Spurs teams gets a double digit lead - they stop attacking and start taking jumpers, simple as that.

Duncan 17 footer
RJ 17 footer
Tony 20 footer

Before that almost everything was inside.

[Chieflion]

I told you I love seeing Tyrus Thomas being a dumbass.

[Ice009]

GREAT pass from TP.

[angelbelow]

Deng good shot

[mystargtr34]

I dont think the defense changes that much, its stays average regardless of the score.

[Chieflion]

I see Dice run the floor. Good work. And he caught a pass from Manu!

[ffadicted]

Rocket Pass!

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Dice!

[Libri]

Manu with a bullet pass to Dice for a reverse layup!

[TIMMYD!]

Wow, McDyess caught a pass from Manu. :wow

[angelbelow]

Duncans FT shooting has been a welcome improvement this year.

[Dex]

Even though that play worked, that was a dumb pass. Wonder why we're averaging 13 turnovers?

[Refocus]

lmao Sean. "I'm buying a lottery ticket on the way home"

[Brazil]

good steal manu

[angelbelow]

Oh man, i thought for SURE manu/dice would screw that up. Nice play.

[mystargtr34]

Looks like another game where RJ just floats around the three point line and throws in the occasional dunk in the half court and takes 20 foot jumpers.

[timtonymanu]

Manu to Dice finally worked.

[Dex]

Chitown hitting tough shots. If the defense can hold, that won't happen for long. And if it does, you tip your hats to 'em.

[angelbelow]

Aww that looked like it was off Bulls

[Libri]

Tim is shooting jump shots and missing.

[mystargtr34]

Bulls 9-12. Unless the Spurs start playing some defense they will find themselves on the wrong end of the scoreline. Spurs are on fire shooting 75% yet they only lead by 5.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD J is off tonight

[Ice009]

Alright I am going to get on Tim here. two bad shots and slow on defense.

COME ON TIM.

[Duncanoypi]

is it televise in FS South West?

[murpjf88]

Lets face it. the perimeter defense is what it is. It won't get better. Have to just pray the opponent misses.

[Dex]

Tony going the whole quarter? That's gonna be good on that foot come the 4th.

[angelbelow]

Blair back in

[Dex]

RJ still sucks.

[Chieflion]

Prediction right on line.

[TIMMYD!]

Anybody else dislike the way RJ shoots?

[murpjf88]

leads gone

[Brazil]

not good kirk has the hot hand right now

[Chieflion]

Son, why is Hinrich hitting bullshit shots?

[ffadicted]

Hinrich in double figures in the first half, lolwut

[DPG21920]

75% fg

[Chieflion]

Duncan should teach James Johnson a Wake Forest lesson.

[timtonymanu]

wtf I guess Hinrich will go on a career night tonight.

Cmon dead Spurs crowd. get into it.

[Ice009]

When is Pop going to get mad?

Has Pop told the FO that he's not interested in coaching until we get a trade?

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu and one!

[Brazil]

kirk 5-5 we need to stop him he can shoot all night long

[Johnny RIngo]

RJ still sucks.

Always has sucked. He should thank Kidd for making him look much better than he really was in NJ.

Even more embarrassing is that this clown made the national team in '04. Just shows how weak that NT group was outside of TD.

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck, someone stop Hinrich.

[TPnumber1]

tony and one

[ffadicted]

Get the fuck out of here Tony Parker you beasty finisher, vintage 08'-09' :smokin

[Brazil]

Son, why is Hinrich hitting bullshit shots?

he is playing very good since few weeks now not totally a surprise

[Spurs Brazil]

TP and one!!!

[poop]

Lets face it. the perimeter defense is what it is. It won't get better. Have to just pray the opponent misses.

hahaha

[Ice009]

Good play TP in the first quarter.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck Kirk Hinrich and his fluke shooting.

[DPG21920]

Spurs need to step up the defense.

[angelbelow]

Hinrich is playing out of his mind, he'll cool down

[Refocus]

If Hinrich would have made that.. I don't know what I would have done.

[Chieflion]

he is playing very good since few weeks now not totally a surprise
I am sure turnaround fadeaway jumpers are not part of his game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 31-29 after one

[ElNono]

29 point quarter... :pctoss

[murpjf88]

Defense atrocious, but to be expected. You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

[TPnumber1]

29-31 end of the first

[boutons_deux]

WTH is wrong with DJB missing all these garbage shots?

[superjames1992]

Bad defense, as usual, but at least the offense is playing well.

[Dex]

Damn catchy bag commercials.

[siraulo23]

looks like hinrich is the one who is going to have a career night...

[blkroadrunners]

Another high scoring 1st qtr....

[Brazil]

tp 11 pts 5 assists but he played 11 min, he will be dead for the 2nd half... there is a sort of pattern

[timtonymanu]

not closing out on Hinrich and Bulls making tough shots = 29 points.

[mystargtr34]

Jefferson, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks, 2 points on 1-4 with 3 jumpers in 10 minutes.

Pathetic.

[poop]

hahaha these bloodsucking lawyer commercials.

[Pauleta14]

As this quarter shows us, our problem this year is not the offense...

[lurker23]

Not able to watch the game at the moment, but I see that George Hill has a +/- of +9. Maybe time to throw him back in there and try to cool of Hinrich?

[Spurs Brazil]

looks like hinrich is the one who is going to have a career night...

Spurs guards need to be more physical on D. Other guards are playing with too much freedom there

[Libri]

Same thing happened in the Houston game. The Spurs started with great energy and then gave up the lead.

[Josepatches_]

kirk 5-5 we need to stop him he can shoot all night long

If TP cant improve his defense it will be difficult.

Hinrich can make all the JS if you are not in front of him.

[Ice009]

Spurs just gotta keep playing. I am OK with the defense because that first the first quarter. If the defense keeps improving each quarter to end the game I think we're in great shape here.

Allowing 75% shooting and still having the lead is not that bad of a thing. Keep turning up the defense and finish the game off.

[ElNono]

I see we're still playing matador defense... Tony and Richard...

[Chieflion]

Another Tyrus Thomas LOL moment.

[Chieflion]

McDyess tip in off Manu's missed 3 pointer.

[Brazil]

I am sure turnaround fadeaway jumpers are not part of his game.

not saying that but he is contributing a lot to the bulls improvement and some nights he shot 15 FG at > 50%

[Spurs Brazil]

Good play Dice

[SCdac]

Spurs offense looking decent early in the game, as usual, and I'm glad we've yet to go small and are showing faith in Blair and Dyess... But damn I don't remember the last time the Spurs played truly "aggressive" defense.

[Brazil]

If TP cant improve his defense it will be difficult.

Hinrich can make all the JS if you are not in front of him.

exactly

[Josepatches_]

As this quarter shows us, our problem this year is not the offense...


Defense isn't what the Bulls do better

[Chieflion]

Dice has a one tracked mind. He didn't see the pass coming.

[Libri]

Terrible shot by RJ.

[blkroadrunners]

Rose is on fire too.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck RJ, stop with that shit J

[murpjf88]

Spurs just gotta keep playing. I am OK with the defense because that first the first quarter. If the defense keeps improving each quarter to end the game I think we're in great shape here.

No, its terrible. This is the happless Chicago Bulls. The defense usually gets worse as the game gets long.

[DPG21920]

Jefferson, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks, 2 points on 1-4 with 3 jumpers in 10 minutes.

Pathetic.

Having the same type of game Duncan is.

[Johnny RIngo]

Jefferson, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks, 2 points on 1-4 with 3 jumpers in 10 minutes.

Pathetic.

The sad thing is that when Jefferson isn't scoring he does nothing else to help the team(can't rebound, soft on defense, etc). Garbage player.

[poop]

how does blair average only 6-7 boards a game? it seems like he get that every couple posessions lol

[Refocus]

omg.. 15-20 for the Bulls. ALL JUMPSHOTS? And now we're turning it over for freebies. >:(

[Ice009]

Is Pop going to do any fucking coaching.

He is just sitting there doing nothing. When is the FO going to talk to him about his lack of coaching???????????

[murpjf88]

Too much dice pop. sit his ass.

[Libri]

:pctoss

[Dex]

Soft card FAIL.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs 47% vs 77%

GAMEOVER :)

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Jefferson has absolutely 0 arc on his jumpshot.

Ugly Ugly Ugly

[Pauleta14]

77.3%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

[ElNono]

Turnobili...

[Dex]

Maybe Pop should try a "Bruce Bowen is not walking through that door" speech.

[timtonymanu]

guys are falling asleep. pathetic! and i always know when the momentum changes. dice missing that pass started it.

[Spurs Brazil]

Did you see how much room Manu gave Salmons? That's what I'm talking about, our guards plays SOFT D. Other guards have all the time in the world to think what they will do

[mystargtr34]

Having the same type of game Duncan is.

For sure, but ill cut Duncan a bit of slack since he hasnt been doing it 90% of the season.

[murpjf88]

Rose is on fire too.

This is the nba. Most players can hit uncontested jump shots.

[45 bank shot]

no defense, no surprise

[Ice009]

No, its terrible. This is the happless Chicago Bulls. The defense usually gets worse as the game gets long.

The defense won't get worse than that. Are you freaking serious? You think the Spurs will allow over 75% the rest of the game? That would have to be an NBA record in that happened.

[ElNono]

9-0 run...

[Duncan2177]

Is Pop going to do any fucking coaching.

He is just sitting there doing nothing. When is the FO going to talk to him about his lack of coaching???????????

:tu

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

blair forgot what he did that started the momentum in the first few mins of the game

[urunobili]

[Dex]

I noticed this as well. Putting a hand up does no good if it's not in the shooter's face or shot. Problem is, all the Spurs are compensating too much to help on defense, play the passing lanes, etc...that they're stuck in this semi-zone and not playing their gottamn man.

[TPnumber1]

we are playing bad :depressed

[cnyc3]

thats what they come up with from a timeout? /walton

[boutons_deux]

Spurs sucking yet again.

[ElNono]

WTF??? Can't even run a play?

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ is pathetic, passing the ball with 1 on the clock

[blkroadrunners]

Wow, so far Pop has played 7 players. You would probably expect 8-9 players w/ minutes right now.

[murpjf88]

Too much standing around.

[TPnumber1]

rose on fire

[Chieflion]

When has Rose become such a good jumpshooter?

[ElNono]

Good thing Rose is sick... :wow

[poop]

im baffled how a spurs team with so much potential can be so consistently bad

[DPG21920]

Spurs getting lit up defensively, but they have missed a shit ton of good looks. Still in the game, but I would love to see the Spurs amp up the defense in the second half.

Rose is just lacing jump shots. Funny thing is if RJ was taking those same jumpers, Spurs fans would chastise him.

[Spurs Brazil]

Noah 3rd foul

[Libri]

Bulls still shooting over 70%.

[murpjf88]

The defense won't get worse than that. Are you freaking serious? You think the Spurs will allow over 75% the rest of the game? That would have to be an NBA record in that happened.

Well see. The law of averages says no. But I know one thing, they won't be able to get the stop when they need one.

[timtonymanu]

goddamnit miss already.

[Dex]

Nice job by Pop trimming one of the players who was actually playing well, Mason Jr., out of the rotation. :td

But maybe we'll get some Bonner time.

[vander]

'bout time for Matt Bonner come in and turn this game around

[Dex]

That's better, dammit!

[Chieflion]

Rose is pissing me off with those mid range jumpers.

[Libri]

Rose can't miss.

[poop]

blairs gotta have like 15 rebounds already.

[Ice009]

Blair is WORKING HARD.

[ffadicted]

70% to 17% in the second quarter and only down by 5, I'm very happy about this

[angelbelow]

Comeon Blair..

[angelbelow]

There we go!

[DPG21920]

You realize mason is in?

[Dex]

Jefferson making a tough shot out of...nothing at all.

[murpjf88]

Time to pull the plug on RJ

RJ you soft bitch DON't settle for a fucking fade away jumper.

What a fucking retard.

[Dex]

You realize mason is in?

Yeah, Pop apparently saw my post. :tu

:lol

[TPnumber1]

RJ sucks 1-6

[ezau]

Fuck this game. Fuck small ball. Fuck Pop

[Spurs Brazil]

Jefferson is fucking terrible. He's stealing P.Holt

[poop]

9 rebounds my ass...hes gotta have 15 by now.

[Ice009]

You realize mason is in?

And no Bogans at all tonight!

If I were Bruce I would laugh at Pop. Bruce got benched for lack of offense and Bogans brings no offense and average defense and he got a shit load of minutes that probably Malik Hairston should have gotten.

:lol Nice. Say something about yelling at RJ.

[Dex]

Maybe I have mysterious Pop powers I did not know about.

[ElNono]

70% shooting... We sure make these guys look like the Jordan's Bulls...

[Johnny RIngo]

Jefferson making a tough shot out of...nothing at all.

You can tell RJ is one of those lazy fucks that doesn't work to improve his game.
