Game Blog: Spurs @ Clippers - Nov. 1

[resistanze]

Damn he's OFF.

[ShoogarBear]

Good grief, Tim.

[DPG21920]

TP has had that happen a few times this year. He is slowing down to much and the refs aren't going to bail him out on those things.

Tim, c'mon.

[CFH]

Duncan, wow...

[TIMMYD!]

Gordon is a little pest. Always getting his hands on the ball.

[DJB]

Tony hogged the ball on that 1... could have dished to RJ for the slam easily.

[pawe]

"WHY DO YOU HATE THE CLIPPERS?!" :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Gary Neal +12
Manu Ginobili -7
:wow

[LeCrab]

wtf is wrong with parker and duncan.... first time ever saying this but we are better with them on the bench tonight

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

damn parker, come on

[BanditHiro]

wtf is wrong with manu and duncan.... first time ever saying this but we are better with them on the bench tonight

fify

[Libri]

Hill is not coming back, trap spasms.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Is it just me or is this Spurs team getting its hands into the passing lanes at a higher rate than previous years?

[dbestpro]

Got to say it is nice to have someone be able to hit three besides Bonner, Hill, and Manu.

[maddnezz]

Clipper fan "why do you hate the Clippers?"

[Kamala]

Poppovich with a little bit more pansa around the waistline there

[Chomag]

Clippers as team just plain sucks. They will be this years NJ I'm thinking

[BanditHiro]

Is it just me or is this Spurs team getting its hands into the passing lanes at a higher rate than previous years?

youth movement?

[NASpurs]

Nice entertaining game unlike the New Orleans game which was a snorefest until the mid-4th quarter.

[024]

is splitter coming back? :depressed

[Spurs Brazil]

Anderson and Neal playing very well

Nice to see TP attacking

RJ very active on both ends, another solid game

Manu and TD need to wake up

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

wtf is wrong with parker and duncan.... first time ever saying this but we are better with them on the bench tonight

:lol best gif I've seen in a long time

[Kamala]

Clipper fan "why do you hate the Clippers?"

Billy Crystal is a fan

[NASpurs]

Hill is not coming back, trap spasms.

Unleash Temple! Is he even dressed up tonight?

[ezau]

WTF Timmy?

[Death In June]

Only 3 minutes in the half for splitter?

[DesignatedT]

need a lot better play from our bigs. Duncan and Blair don't look good.

[bluebellmaniac]

Just looked at the box score ... How the hell does Neal have 5 reb?!!! Wow!!!

[jestersmash]

wtf is wrong with parker and duncan.... first time ever saying this but we are better with them on the bench tonight

Ginobili has been neutral, not bad.

[LakerHater]

Whats up with the "Gray" stripe down the side of the jersey???
Isnt it supposed to be Silver??
It looks terrible!

[Kamala]

Kobe saying knee is 100 % = knee is 80% in reality

[Libri]

Unleash Temple! Is he even dressed up tonight?

It looks like it. Temple is listed on the Yahoo boxscore.

[Pauleta14]

I starting to really be worried about Tony!

He's definetly not the same (yet?)...

[CFH]

Only 3 minutes in the half for splitter?

I think Pop said 5 minutes a half for Splitter.

[ShoogarBear]

LOL, Manu and Tony just ran high school crap on the Clips.

[timtonymanu]

Nice pass from Manu to Tony.

[Ice009]

Timmy and Blair tonight seem to be in a galaxy far, far, away.

Wow Tim is so bad tonight. His confidence looks shattered. That airball was the worst I've ever seen it was so far off.

Pop has got to stop playing guys like Blair with TD.

I think Tim is confused on defense because he's too used to trying to guard the whole court since Pop has been putting shit defenders with him the last two seasons. Tim seems like he's lost his bearings thanks to Pop's pathetic sidekicks he gets for him.

[spectator]

come on tony - you HAVE to smoke their 4th string PG

[maddnezz]

Cayman looks like a Yeti! lol

[dbestpro]

Don't know why the Clips don't run their offense through Griffen.

[CFH]

Nice job by TP to knock the ball out of Griffin's hands.

[Cessation]

lol these refs falling for every flop

[ShoogarBear]

What a crappy pass.

[DPG21920]

Tim looks like a poor man's Kaman right now. Wait, that doesn't sound right....

[spectator]

come ON tony!!!

[ohmwrecker]

Is Howard Eisley on the Clippers coaching staff?

[CFH]

Bad passes all over

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan's head isn't in the game at all, he's making some uncharacteristically bad decisions..

[DJB]

Timmy better WAKE THE FUCK UP

[jestersmash]

Well I like the enthusiasm by Timmy diving to the floor

[NASpurs]

Parker is getting real bad at getting the ball stripped.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Tim Duncan is five steps slow on every play.

[bbarry]

What the fuck is up with Duncan? He looks slow out there and is pissing me off with his stupid decisions

[Death In June]

What the fuck neal?

[Libri]

WTF was that by Neal?

[ShoogarBear]

Kamen is the Spurs MVP tonight.

[Chomag]

Thank God we are not playing againt good NBA team tonight

[Tito_Trinidad]

I see Duncan more darker. Got a suntan?

[CFH]

WTF was that by Neal?

He was trying to beat the shot clock but he had more than enough time.

[dougp]

WTF was that by Neal?

2 seconds on shot clock, what'd you want him to do - setup 4 down? :lol

[DPG21920]

If Kaman and Tim played one on one, would they lose points?

[NASpurs]

What a flat shot by TD. I think our starters are hurting the Spurs more than the bench.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan's shot looks it did in last year's 2nd half..

[dbestpro]

Duncan and Blair :(

[TIMMYD!]

Something is really wrong with Tim. He's just making some stupid plays on offense.

[CFH]

Bench is playing better than the starters

[timtonymanu]

Wow Tim really is struggling. Those shots went in on opening night.

[BanditHiro]

well at least small ball would not be a bad idea this year

[Dex]

Tim's jumper was crisp in the first game, but has been way off since.

[jestersmash]

lol @ people giving Neal shit for that shot. Do you people not watch the game? He was falling out of bounds, there was 2 seconds on the shot clock.

[Chomag]

First time I have been able to watch Griffan. I gotta say the kis is very impressive

[Cant_Be_Faded]

It's like the offense lost rhythm once Duncan entered the game.

Wow. He's havin a slow start, that 1st game was a fluke. Same ole duncan lol.

[DesignatedT]

Blair needs to be in beast mode 2nd half.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i am worried about TD...

[WeNeedLength]

Did Duncan chug a couple 40's before tonight's game? Sure as hell looks like it. Neal and Anderson playing really good though and making up for our starter's lack of passion

[Libri]

First time I have been able to watch Griffan. I gotta say the kis is very impressive

Sean said that he reminds him of Karl Malone.

[8FOR!3]

I hate to say it as a Cowboys fan, but the Clippers are the NBA's Cowboys. There's no reason with Blake Griffin, Eric Gordon, and Chris Kaman on your team why you shouldn't be on the verge of being a playoff team. Add Aminu, Butler, Baron Davis, Eric Bledsoe, DeAndre Jordan, and that team even has some decent depth. Definitely not playing to their potential. I blame it on not going to Griffin enough, he should be getting the ball more often.

[Chomag]

Hope Splitter can get some more burn in the secibd half. We need himto get into game shape quicly

[Spurs Brazil]

Same problems of last game, too many TOs and some guys, especially TD and Manu, playing bad D

Fortunately Neal and Anderson made shots

[bigdog]

I'd like to see more Jefferson. He's playing aggressive, so they should get him involved more. Neal and Anderson have looked good. Tim is completely out of it. TP is playing sloppy. Manu is jacked up a dumb shot or two. Blair hasn't looked good at all.

Step it up in the 2nd half, Spurs.

[DJB]

i am worried about TD...

Yeah, I know it's just game 3 but he looks REALLY bad. Not sharp at all.

[maddnezz]

Tim will have a double double. Quit trippin Spurs Fans.:toast

[Tito_Trinidad]

i said it before, Timmy perhaps is having personal problems. His eyes aren't there. He needs two weeks vacations. We are only seeing a death body wearing 21.

[DPG21920]

Yikes.......how the Spurs are winning this one is beyond me. Spurs letting the worst shooting team in the NBA shoot 50% (given there were some fluke shots).

Spurs are not out rebounding them (tied), tied in TO's, tied in AST...basically the Spurs have just made a few more 3's and FT's.

They are playing awful. I am officially worried about Tim and will continue to be until I see different. It's not just the way he looks, which is worrisome. It is his decision making. If he is going to struggle physically, he has to be in it with his mind. He is really hurting the team.

[jestersmash]

Blake Griffin is Amare Stoudemire + --> he actually plays defense.

[ezau]

I'm really disappointed at Timmy. I don't have any idea what's going on with him

[Nathan89]

Blair needs to be in preseason mode 2nd half.

Fixed

[bigdog]

I forgot to mention, Simmons looked good out there, besides that missed 3. He was really hustling out there. I like that.

[jestersmash]

Parker, Gino, Duncan, Jefferson, Blair

Dyess
Hill
Splitter
Anderson
Neal
Bonner

That's 11. What did Pop want again - 12? 13? Who gets the remaining spot - Simmons, Temple, or Alonzo Gee?

[DJ Mbenga]

I hate to say it as a Cowboys fan, but the Clippers are the NBA's Cowboys. There's no reason with Blake Griffin, Eric Gordon, and Chris Kaman on your team why you shouldn't be on the verge of being a playoff team. Add Aminu, Butler, Baron Davis, Eric Bledsoe, DeAndre Jordan, and that team even has some decent depth. Definitely not playing to their potential. I blame it on not going to Griffin enough, he should be getting the ball more often.

they cant shoot right now. gordon is having that team usa hangover. baron is abosolutely turrible. the clipps are a player away, and its a SF. they have nothing there right now.

[Pauleta14]

I'm not worried yet about Duncan...

I'm sure he realise that he shouldn't give 100% from the start of the season, it killed him last year!
I think he is having more a veteran approche than anything.

Although it's hard to watch, I can't blame him for that, we need him for the playoff at the best shape possible...

[Ice009]

I am never disappointed in Tim. He's just playing bad. He's still got a million passes from me, but he's definitely playing bad.

[Barfunk]

Hopefully Tim bounces back the next game if not in the second half.

[Chomag]

Man if there was a possibilty the Spurs could get Griff in a trade... I don't know.

[timtonymanu]

Hopefully we can see more Splitter in the 2nd half.

[ohmwrecker]

Tim has these WTF games every once in a while. I'm not going to worry unless it lasts over a good stretch.

[DPG21920]

I'm not worried yet about Duncan...

I'm sure he realise that he shouldn't give 100% from the start of the season, it killed him last year!
I think he is having more a veteran approche than anything.

Although it's hard to watch, I can't blame him for that, we need him for the playoff at the best shape possible...

There is quite the difference between coasting and completely being terrible on both ends.

When it comes to Tim and this teams hopes, everything worries me. Especially extraordinarily bad games back to back when he has had plenty of rest.

[DJ Mbenga]

Blake Griffin is Amare Stoudemire + --> he actually plays defense.

looks like shawn kemp/ or a pf version of gerald wallace.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan looks exactly like he has in the 2nd halves of the last 2 seasons, so it's obviously reason for concern..

He has no confidence right now..

It's worse than usual though, he doesn't usually make bad decisions..

[Spurs Brazil]

Clippers the worst FG% team of the season with a 50%FG in the 1st half

[toki9]

why do we call neal choo choo?

Don't ask...you don't want to know...

[Pauleta14]

Even if Bledsoe is just a rookie and not really a stud, I'm sur Tony would have prefered to face B. Davis's defense... :lol

[DPG21920]

I am not cursing Duncan, but just making observation. It is scary seeing Tim like this this early...

[Tito_Trinidad]

time to see the 2007 championship box set again. sigh..............old times...........sigh...........cough*Bowen*cough

[NASpurs]

Clippers the worst FG% team of the season with a 50%FG in the 1st half

Just a continuing trend seems like

[z0sa]

I have no clue why anyone would be worried about Tim. He is 34 years old and a legend already for years. He does not give a flying fuck about a game against the Clippers 3 games into the season. If he's playing like this 60 games in, then I'd be worried.

[silverblk mystix]

Painful to watch Timmy.

Splitter's D looked better than TD,Blair & Bonner in just a couple of minutes.

Nice to watch a spurs game with NO - Mason, Bogans or Bonner!

Painful to watch Timmy...

[timtonymanu]

Don't ask...you don't want to know...

it would be so funny if that nick name made its way to the broadcasters. everyone will think it means something else.

[jestersmash]

looks like shawn kemp/ or a pf version of gerald wallace.

I can see shawn kemp.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Hopefully we'll see more Tiago to start the 2nd half

[Libri]

Yikes.......how the Spurs are winning this one is beyond me. Spurs letting the worst shooting team in the NBA shoot 50% (given there were some fluke shots).

Spurs are not out rebounding them (tied), tied in TO's, tied in AST...basically the Spurs have just made a few more 3's and FT's.

They are playing awful. I am officially worried about Tim and will continue to be until I see different. It's not just the way he looks, which is worrisome. It is his decision making. If he is going to struggle physically, he has to be in it with his mind. He is really hurting the team.

Well, I haven't read anything about Tim being hurt. He even lost weight. It seems that he's not concentrating.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I am not cursing Duncan, but just making observation. It is scary seeing Tim like this this early...

?? Duncan made his reputation starting off seasons slow

[BanditHiro]

I have no clue why anyone would be worried about Tim. He is 34 years old and a legend already for years. He does not give a flying fuck about a game against the Clippers 3 games into the season. If he's playing like this 60 games in, then I'd be worried.

agree he is probably doing this shit on purpose to get Blair to wake up and pick up the slack.

[Nathan89]

Hopefully we'll see more Tiago to start the 2nd half

This. Can you make it happen?

[rayray2k8]

Uh. The game is not over? It's only the 1st half for Tim? You guys know that right?

[Pauleta14]

There is quite the difference between coasting and completely being terrible on both ends.

When it comes to Tim and this teams hopes, everything worries me. Especially extraordinarily bad games back to back when he has had plenty of rest.


I think it's about the hustle...

He now has to "use" more energy to do the same thing he did easily not so long ago!
Either it is to score or defend, you have to "hustle".

To be honest, I'm more than anything hoping that he is in a "diesel"/Mc Dyess mode... :lol and is going to get better through the season..

[DJB]

Duncan looks exactly like he has in the 2nd halves of the last 2 seasons, so it's obviously reason for concern..

He has no confidence right now..

It's worse than usual though, he doesn't usually make bad decisions..

Yeah, it's not so much his GAME that I'm worrying about. I can live with a poor PHYSICAL performance from Tim, because it happens. However, this is different. The last two games he just looks totally gone MENTALLY.

Like not noticing that he should run that back-door cut with Tony, and then threw it out of bounds is a clear example of what is worrisome. Timmy NEVER messes that play up.

[pawe]

I'd hit that

[jestersmash]

We saw a small taste of Splitter's offense in the post. Not bad - he missed the shot but it rolled in and out. Decent footwork. I'd like to see more though, I'm itching to get a general impression of his post game right now, and a single play is not going to cut it.

Then again it's not in pop's nature to throw new players to the wolves - so to speak. He's going to ease splitter into the lineup slowly most likely.

[NASpurs]

RJ looks good

[CFH]

RJ with the J

[Nathan89]

Rj confidence is off the charts

[ohmwrecker]

Uh. The game is not over? It's only the 1st half for Tim? You guys know that right?

Game threads are a little hypersensitive.

[itzsoweezee]

Lol @ some of you delusional people. Tim is not just starting slow, he's playing absolutely horrible. I've never seen a healthy player drop off so suddenly so early in their career. It's not even like he's a physical player like Shaq. One would think a player like Duncan could excel even without a lot of athletic ability, but I guess that's not true.

[maddnezz]

Did I just see Robert Pack? Ass. coach

[NASpurs]

RJ again!

[DPG21920]

?? Duncan made his reputation starting off seasons slow

Again though, it is not about that. This is the second game where he looks like he has fallen off the cliff. There is a massive difference in "starting slow" and looking really really bad like Tim has the past two games.

I am not saying Tim is done, I am saying I am very concerned because this does not seem like the normal Tim early in a season.

[CFH]

RJ looking good

[Pauleta14]

Duncan looks exactly like he has in the 2nd halves of the last 2 seasons, so it's obviously reason for concern..

He has no confidence right now..

It's worse than usual though, he doesn't usually make bad decisions..


As I just said, there probably is a link to it!

Each of the past 2 years he was great in the first half and lost more and more energy as the seasons went.

This year, maybe he's doing the opposite!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Nice Jefferson

[timtonymanu]

RJ again! He looks so much better.

[Nathan89]

Rj I am officially welcoming you to the spurs. Enjoy your stay.

[NASpurs]

TD with the jumper!

[ohmwrecker]

It wouldn't hurt if TP would pass the damn ball every once in a while . . .

[CFH]

Timmy!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

There we go Tim

[NASpurs]

Sweet pass by Blair

[dbestpro]

Finally, some good spacing.

[Refocus]

Tim : STFU Spurstalk.

[Cessation]

wow pretty pass, beast showing some finesse

[timtonymanu]

2 straight for Timmy! Hopefully it gets him going.

[z0sa]

Spurs looking more intense and focused to start the second half.

[Barfunk]

There you go TimScro

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Damn that was a nice pass by Blair

[Tito_Trinidad]

no homo but Tiaggo is beautiful

[HarlemHeat37]

Wow, what a pass by Blair, one of the more underrated parts of his game..

Jefferson is really impressing me so far, I hope he doesn't peak too early this season..

[CFH]

Timmy again! Spurs up by double digits for the first time.

[DPG21920]

:wow what a pass from Blair to Tim.

Hopefully that gets Blair going. Blair has such an opportunity to help the team and grow. Spurs need that.

Keep going to Tim regardless. Just over and over and over.

[DJB]

And then of course when I express my discontent, Timmy starts playing like Timmy. :lol

Alright, that's enough out of me.

[HarlemHeat37]

Luckily, the Spurs are playing the Clippers, because they're actually stupid enough to overplay Blair's mid-range game..

[Spurs Brazil]

Good start of the 3rd

RJ with 2 great Js and TD shoot one without any hesitation. Nice pass Blair

[CFH]

And then ofcourse when I expree my discontent, Timmy starts playing like Timmy. :lol

Alright, that's enough out of me.

Keep going, it's motivating him. :p:

[DPG21920]

Tim : STFU Spurstalk.

:lol No one is hating on Tim. It is just obvious. Some may be more worried than others, but it is not like people are calling for Tim's head.

We want him to do well...

[BanditHiro]

gotta take a risk take a chance make a change and break away

[Cane]

Nice pass by Blair. Its going to be even more awesome when Tiago gets consistent minutes too since passing is a specialty of his.

Remember that Duncan's got orders to take more jumpshots and to really just try and take it easy in general during the reg season.

[Pauleta14]

Come on Dajuan! we need you!!

[maddnezz]

It wouldn't hurt if TP would pass the damn ball every once in a while . . .THIS!:downspin:

[Libri]

Good start of the 3rd

RJ with 2 great Js and TD shoot one without any hesitation. Nice pass Blair

Pop must of have had a good pep talk at halftime.

[NASpurs]

RJ should have shot that three

[ShoogarBear]

Wow, Duncan looked horrible on that shot.

[duncan228]

Well, I haven't read anything about Tim being hurt. He even lost weight. It seems that he's not concentrating.

Duncan did not lose weight this summer, he actually put on a couple of pounds. He thought he was too light last year (he lost 15 pounds that summer).

[NASpurs]

There we go, RJ for threeeeeee

[CFH]

RJ for 3!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Rjjj

[TIMMYD!]

RJ is on fire. You just gotta love seeing him hit those jumpers.

[Tp9gospursgo]

RJ is looking great these first few games.

[NASpurs]

Nice strong move by TD!

[DesignatedT]

yes RJ. that's what its all about.

[CFH]

Alright Timmy!

[BanditHiro]

lol tim duncan is shitting all over SPURSTALK

[pawe]

5 yrs ago, Tim would've swatted that shot out of the building

[DPG21920]

RJ splashing some j's.

[TIMMYD!]

Tim is making us all look like dumbasses for panicking so early.

[ShoogarBear]

The Clippers might be a better team without Baron.

[maddnezz]

The Yeti over the Beast! Dang.

[Libri]

Duncan did not lose weight this summer, he actually put on a couple of pounds. He thought he was too light last year (he lost 15 pounds that summer).

I stand corrected.

[dbestpro]

Shock, Blair passed the ball back out.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Love the floater

[CFH]

TP with the layup

[Cessation]

kaman schooling blair

[DPG21920]

Blair has to step up. This is just a slump. He is better than this. Much better.

[BanditHiro]

dammit stupid clippers stfu and die why do they have to play with pride

[CFH]

Sloppy...

[024]

now pop has to put splitter in...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

blair needs to settle downnnnnn

[DesignatedT]

fucking blair. get his ass out, playing like shit.

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair is a complete disaster

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Again though, it is not about that. This is the second game where he looks like he has fallen off the cliff. There is a massive difference in "starting slow" and looking really really bad like Tim has the past two games.

I am not saying Tim is done, I am saying I am very concerned because this does not seem like the normal Tim early in a season.

He's fine. Probably mentally slow cuz these first games are mostly about the new circus of players we got showing off to pop and finding their way.

Duncan's a player man. If he played like this for like 3 weeks then we'd have a huge problem but no use getting worried this early. I think he's just loafing it.

[DPG21920]

I guess Pop wasn't playing when he said Tiago would be limited.

[dbestpro]

Bail out call.

[NASpurs]

I wanna see Neal and Anderson play together again. Those two seem to have chemistry together.

[HarlemHeat37]

Let's see some more Splitter..

The refs have been very pro-Clippers tonight IMO..

[CFH]

Refs getting whistle happy

[BanditHiro]

fuck gomes stfu and miss

[DesignatedT]

alright neal no more fouls.

[DJ Mbenga]

wow bledsoe just shit on TP

[TIMMYD!]

Tony just doesn't have that speed, his shot got crushed.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Pass the ball tony, jesus.

[CFH]

Dammit TP...

[DPG21920]

He's fine. Probably mentally slow cuz these first games are mostly about the new circus of players we got showing off to pop and finding their way.

Duncan's a player man. If he played like this for like 3 weeks then we'd have a huge problem but no use getting worried this early. I think he's just loafing it.

Didn't the big 3 say they did not want to loaf this year?

[spurs1990]

Has Tony ever passed on a fast break?

[HarlemHeat37]

Tony has to learn how to pass on the fast break once in a while..

He also has to stop going so slow when he's 1 on 1 in transition, he doesn't have the necessary lift yet..

[timtonymanu]

Tony fails at the fastbreak right now.

[BanditHiro]

Tony just doesn't have that speed, his shot got crushed.

i think he thought he was not going to get challenged.

[Ditty]

aaron brooks blocked parker twice on the fast break and now eric bledsoe damn park makes it too predictiable on the fast break mix it up with jump stopping or pass it for once

[DPG21920]

TP has been uncharacteristically bad on those one man fast breaks. He used to be automatic. Now, it seems like he is slowing down to much. I think it is a conscious decision and not a physical thing, so TP has to change that.

It's funny because he seems to be coming up with more loose balls than normal...

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony finishing well in traffic but struggling with the easy ones

[anonoftheinternets]

Didn't the big 3 say they did not want to loaf this year?

more like just ginobili....

[spurs1990]

Tony has to learn how to pass on the fast break once in a while..

He also has to stop going so slow when he's 1 on 1 in transition, he doesn't have the necessary lift yet..

How about learning how to lob the ball?

That last play RJ was in perfect position. Can they not teach that to players?

[LeCrab]

why not just play our bench ....

[anonoftheinternets]

besides old habits die hard ...

[Libri]

It's so good to see that RJ is now doing what he was supposed to do last year, which was to contribute by getting into the flow of the game, without having plays called for him.

[DesignatedT]

yeah he definitely slowed down purposely to avoid the block and get body contact but that isn't what bledsoe was thinking. Tony has very active hands tonight though.

[DJ Mbenga]

splitter's sis is 6'6? damn

[HarlemHeat37]

Splitter's sister was 6'6?..fuck..

[ohmwrecker]

The Spurs really need to put this game away right now. Focus. No more TOs and stupid mistakes.

[ShoogarBear]

Dice . . . nothing but rim.

[CFH]

Dice gets the bounce

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Didn't the big 3 say they did not want to loaf this year?

Words and actions. Out of the big 3, Duncan has a history of loafing it in games here and there. Not criticizing in the least, it's just what it is.

No way Duncan is treating this like a do-or-die, you don't just forget how to pass over one summer.

Gotta treat this team a little differently we have so many new players we're hoping to make part of the system, and you got a brand new 1st time starter out there. These early games are mostly about them.


Dice's jumper is so money I love that guy

[Refocus]

:lol No one is hating on Tim. It is just obvious. Some may be more worried than others, but it is not like people are calling for Tim's head.

We want him to do well...

I didn't think people were hating on him but everyone was screaming the sky is falling so soon.

[Pauleta14]

How many blocks had Tony on easy layups in in 3 games!!!?? (+ the 2 from Brooks in preseason!)

WTF is happening? Fool me once... (no?)

[TIMMYD!]

Only 1 TO this quarter, let's hope it stays that way.

[Nathan89]

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think Rj had three consecutive good game last year and he has started this game with three good games. This is great news for the spurs, now we just need tiago to be effective.

Splitter coming into the game

[Cant_Be_Faded]

TP has been uncharacteristically bad on those one man fast breaks. He used to be automatic. Now, it seems like he is slowing down to much. I think it is a conscious decision and not a physical thing, so TP has to change that.

It's funny because he seems to be coming up with more loose balls than normal...

Yeah he's not turning on the turbo boosters.


this team really does seem to be getting its hands on alot of balls lately. Way more than a normal spurs team.

The Clippers never miss a shot

[Tp9gospursgo]

Fuck. Its storming. Electricity better not go out.

[Cessation]

nice drive rj

[024]

splitter!

[ohmwrecker]

Splitter!

[ShoogarBear]

If RJ improves in nothing but taking it to the rim, he'll contribute 200% more than last year.

[CFH]

Tiago time!

[HarlemHeat37]

That's the difference right there..

Gordon uses the screen, and he's wide open for a mid-range J, because McDyess sagged off and gave him the shot..

When Splitter was in, he hedged aggressively, like Manu4Tres made a thread about, and it forced the Clippers to reset their offense..that's what mobility can do for a big man..

I hope Splitter can keep showing us some of that..

[Cessation]

The Golden God is back, lol.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

DAMN Neal had an open 3.
Lost that confidence.

[maddnezz]

Stifler back in!

[anonoftheinternets]

How many blocks had Tony on easy layups in in 3 games!!!?? (+ the 2 from Brooks in preseason!)

WTF is happening? Fool me once... (no?)

hes just chilling, and the speed/fitness is not all there yet. Nothing to worry about, all those blocks, i felt he slowed down and took it too casual.

[DPG21920]

I love Griffin's fire. He has been much better than I thought he would.

[Pauleta14]

i think he thought he was not going to get challenged.


It's just the 10th time in 3 games s he thought that!!!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Nice hustle by Tiago

[Barfunk]

[DPG21920]

Neal! Tiago changes the shot and gets the board.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Splitter getting completely ignored by the Spurs on offense right now

[TIMMYD!]

Splitter still hasn't touched the ball in the post.
