Duncan going to the locker room. I would guess he's done for the night. And, knowing Pop, until February.

[ElNono]

Better not be a fracture... :pctoss

[CFH]

Nice fastbreak

[Spurs Brazil]

Temple again, nice pass by Neal

[Trill Clinton]

Temple is hoopin' tonight.....niceeee.

[timtonymanu]

Now this is the Temple I expected. Still prefer that Neal get cut so CJ could make the team. Too bad he has a guaranteed contract.

[Ice009]

Man these guys know what Manu is going to do before Manu does it.

They stole the ball from Manu when he was going around the back and read his pass inside to Blair.

I hope TD is OK.

[DesignatedT]

Neal and Temple runnin the break

[Libri]

So who's going to start the church of Temple thread. lol

[Nathan89]

After temple's first score he tried to play active defense and got blown right by.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

anderson looks so anxious w/ the bball

[Ice009]

GT has taken it to the rack every time.

RJ didn't even think of that when he had the ball ;).

[DesignatedT]

anderson looks so anxious w/ the bball

hell settle down with time.

[chasky]

Nice job by Temple.

Logan Kill Tony in the first quarter.

[Interrohater]

After temple's first score he tried to play active defense and got blown right by.

That was great defense, even the great Bruce Bowen would get blown by. It's all about the help behind him, or rather the lack of it.

[mystargtr34]

Caja are setting some damn good screens and getting their wings open

[Spurs Brazil]

Nonner nice play

[ace3g]

what Bonner got a O board, and then a hook in the paint....

He's playing well tonight

[Trill Clinton]

nice stroke, pause, by neal.

[ace3g]

Dice with the mid range J

[mystargtr34]

Love the way Anderson fought through that screen to get out to the shooter before he could get it up

[Interrohater]

Now THAT was horrible defense by Temple.

[ElNono]

Pop got scared.. doubt we're going to see TP or Manu again tonight

[Ice009]

LOL Bonner with two grab it and hook it shots.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good 1st quarter for Temple and Neal. Nice to see those guys playing better

Best Spurs player so far: Matt Bonner

Spurs up 28-22 after one

[nbaman99]

22-28 sas. Go bonner

[toki9]

Bonner must be amped tonight or something...i like those hard fouls by him...

Tim Duncan left the court with 8:48 left after he took what appeared to be a finger in his eye while grabbing for a rebound.


Duncan was escorted to the locker room. There has been no indication of his condition.


As soon as we hear something, I'll let you know.

[Nathan89]

That was great defense, even the great Bruce Bowen would get blown by. It's all about the help behind him, or rather the lack of it.

That was terrible defense. All he did was dance in front of the guy and get dusted. You're not supposed to get blown by that easy when you play great defense.

[chasky]

Solid First quarter by Temple and Neal. Anderson doubt before taking a shot.

[Libri]

no commercials, woohoo

[Spurs Brazil]

JMcDonald_SAEN

Duncan eye injury = much ado about nothing. Official word is he's expected to return. He's on the bench right now. #spurs

Still not sold on Temple... trouble getting the ball up... trouble starting the offense...

[ace3g]

Bonner for 3

[Spurs Brazil]

Duncan back on bench, should return tonight

Tim Duncan is back on the bench after being poked in his right eye early in the first quarter.


Duncan should return to action later in the game, Spurs officials said.


His absence hasn't hurt San Antonio's inside game as the Spurs have charged to a 28-22 lead after one quarter. The Spurs had a 17-6 rebounding edge in the first half and outscored Caja Laboral in the paint, 18-6.


The collective sigh from the AT&T Center should be noticeable across the city.

[ElNono]

TD looked like somebody shot him... pansy... :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

I hope Tiago look at those bunch of moving screens there are getting called against Caja

[edgar]

Whats the score?

[Nathan89]

Whenever Anderson drives it seems like he has a Zero percent chance of scoring. His only hope is to get fouled. He needs some help with that. I hope his three point shot is great.

[td4mvp21]

You'd think Tim had broken a bone after the way he reacted :lol I was so worried until I realized it was something with his face

[nbaman99]

How many here hated Bonner re-signing few months ago?

[ace3g]

nice bounce pass from Dice to TP for the layup

[Ice009]

What a pass from Dice.

[CFH]

Nice feed from Dyess to Parker

[edgar]

Dang can we trade teams? Caja looks legit nba ready!

[ace3g]

RJ and Simmons back in

[Spurs Brazil]

Simmons in

Small ball

[duncan228]

Duncan's always been on the dramatic side when he gets banged. That's why it's so nerve-racking...it's hard to tell if he's hurt bad.

[ElNono]

How many here hated Bonner re-signing few months ago?

It's one game... I hope this is what he has to show when it matters...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

db caused that to :tu

[timtonymanu]

How many here hated Bonner re-signing few months ago?

still do. lets not get carried away. he's had games like these before.

[Libri]

Small ball

Those two words bring me nightmares. :bang

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 43-27

[ElNono]

Everybody looks good against these guys... :lol

[Ice009]

Horrible pass from TP to Manu, horrible.

[Spurs Brazil]

nice play RJ

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

god damn simmons is slow

[Spurs Brazil]

Simmons D is really bad

[ace3g]

Simmons gets blown by again, he is ok when playing in the paint, but his perimeter d sucks

[duncan228]

Love having no announcers.

[Pauleta14]

Horrible pass from TP to Manu, horrible.

+1 :depressed :lol

[nbaman99]

7- 20 2nd and 48-31 Spurs

NOT GOOD BOBBY, NOT GOOD AT ALL.

[Spurs Brazil]

Love having no announcers.

NOT GOOD BOBBY, NOT GOOD AT ALL.

I take that back... :lol

Hey TP looks great so far, so no complaints from me apart from that one play itself. lol.

[silverblk mystix]

if bonner EVER plays like this against the lakers...I'll just shit my pants...

seriously...

I'll just shit while wearing my pants and be happy about it...

[ElNono]

Terrible pass by Manu...

Smallball!!! RJ at PF!!

[Ice009]

Horrible pass from Manu.

[Ice009]

Awesome TP.

[Spurs Brazil]

Beautiful play Tony

[duncan228]

Pretty Parker.

[Ice009]

Awesome again tp!

Blair with 11rebs

[DesignatedT]

Simmons playing some good defense.

[Libri]

Tony's quickness is back.

[ElNono]

It's Kobe Parker!

[Chieflion]

Okay Parker, stop abusing the poor defensive effort by Caja Laboral.

[Ice009]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[duncan228]

The Parker show.

[ogait]

Any particular reason why G Hill not playing?

[Spurs Brazil]

Looks like old Tony is back!!!

[Ice009]

Tp dominating.

He had a funeral to go to back home.

[Nathan89]

Tony has his quickness back.

[DPG21920]

Man, it is so nice to see TP healthy. I can't wait for him to shut up everyone up.

[ElNono]

Wish we would play 82 games against these guys...

[DesignatedT]

This team fucking sucks. Splitter used to play with a bunch of scrubs

[nbaman99]

Caj 22 12 34

[ElNono]

I mean, Timmy barely played.

[DesignatedT]

Everyone has looked good tonight lol.

[Rito3d30]

bench Tp plx.......

[Pauleta14]

Hey TP looks great so far, so no complaints from me apart from that one play itself. lol.

That's why I put a :lol next to the :depressed ...

He looks sharp, I like it!
let's wait a few weeks into the season to draw any conclusion about him...

[nbaman99]

TP 18 Bonner 10

[Ice009]

A big lead is good to give the bench guys some run in the 2nd half.

[Libri]

So far, Caja Laboral presents no challenge.

[DPG21920]

I say this every time I watch him, but does Simmons not remind anyone else of the way T-Mac moves?

[Duncan21kid]

That euroleage Tv link just keeps on loading for me :(
where else can i watch the game ?

[ogait]

He had a funeral to go to back home.

Oh ok didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

[ElNono]

I say this every time I watch him, but does Simmons not remind anyone else of the way T-Mac moves?

Like he's done? lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 61-36 at the half

[DesignatedT]

I'm pretty sure the Spurs are going to keep Temple/Neal/Anderson/Simmons and the rest are out.

[Nathan89]

A big lead is good to give the bench guys some run in the 2nd half.

+ Rj

[nbaman99]

CAJ 22 14 36
SA 28 33 61
at the half

[DPG21920]

Caja just really struggling with the athleticism of the Spurs and NBA players. Causing them to miss some makeable shots.

[Spurs Brazil]

So far, Caja Laboral presents no challenge.

They almost beat Memphis but they look bad tonight

[DPG21920]

Like he's done? lol

Exactly. I mean the way T-Mac moves now. He barely jumps, and looks like he is in cement.

[Rito3d30]

Anderson need more playing time

[Ice009]

That's why I put a :lol next to the :depressed ...

He looks sharp, I like it!
let's wait a few weeks into the season to draw any conclusion about him...

Yeah, let's see how he goes, but I like it so far. He looks great. TP still has a lot of potential to get to a higher place than he's been. Like he said after the 2008-2009 season, he has no limits. He can still get better.

I thought it was lack of effort at the start of last season, but it seems the summer play really took it's toll on him and was definitely the reason. I was wrong at the start of last season to call him out for lack of effort.

[DesignatedT]

obviously Anderson.

[Spurs Brazil]

CSKA is up 1 against the Cavs in the 4th

[silverblk mystix]

Longhorns won today

Rangers won today

spurs are winning-and we get to watch it

watching it on my 24'' imac

just opened my 2nd Ice cold Shiner Oktoberfest bottle

I am off from work today and tomorrow

...life is good

[Nathan89]

Whenever Anderson drives it seems like he has a Zero percent chance of scoring. His only hope is to get fouled. He needs some help with that. I hope his three point shot is great.

Simmons played some good defense against those bigs out there but that isn't saying much. This team is trash. Kinda worries me about the competition Splitter has been playing against.

I've only seen him play like twice. Not sure yet.

Simmons has size... and not much else, IMO

[ChumpDumper]

Simmons played some good defense against those bigs out there but that isn't saying much. This team is trash. Kinda worries me about the competition Splitter has been playing against.This isn't the same team Splitter played on last season.

[Ice009]

Simmons played some good defense against those bigs out there but that isn't saying much. This team is trash. Kinda worries me about the competition Splitter has been playing against.

I was going to mention that. His defense against their bigs actually seemed good, but against a SF or SG he looks horrendous most of the time.

[ElNono]

Repost

What do you guy think?

He's just not athletic... but you gotta give him a pass since he's just getting his feet wet...

[DPG21920]

Anderson does seem to struggle at the rim. He is not overly athletic and he seems to run himself into taller defenders when he should stop and pull up. From what I have seen in college (highlights), driving did not seem to be one of his strong suits.

If he can get comfortable and in shape, I think a good comparison for a ceiling (meaning highest possible upside) is a Michael Redd (I think mountainballer said this or something close to it as well.)

He even plays like him with that calmness and smoothness.

[Pauleta14]

Yeah, let's see how he goes, but I like it so far. He looks great. TP still has a lot of potential to get to a higher place than he's been. Like he said after the 2008-2009 season, he has no limits. He can still get better.

I agree...

You can't imagine how much I love the fact that he is going under the radar (like the whole team), in some articles, it's like he is 33 with no gas left...
if he stays healthy he is gonna make some damage this year, I can't wait!

[ChumpDumper]

Not too worried about Anderson yet.

[Spurs Brazil]

JMcDonald_SAEN

Parker looks like he has his burst back. Or it could be that these Spanish dudes are just slow. Probably bit of both.

[ElNono]

Odds of TD playing again in this game, considering the score and the pseudo-injury?

[Anonymous Cowherd]

can I check, is it now start of 4th quarter?

I'm guessing no, it was half time, and the second half's about to start.....?

TD is back

There's TD

I'm guessing no, it was half time, and the second half's about to start.....?Right. Why are you checking? You could just watch or listen to the game.

[DPG21920]

What a pass from Manu and catch from TP.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP and Manu working well

[duncan228]

Duncan seems fine.
