This is defenitely DB wake up game!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too all you fans who thing its bad defense, its actually not. Reggie Williams is just shooting out of his mind, akin to the Phoenix Suns during these past playoffs. Fuck scrubs who get hot from three point line only to fizzle out.

If it wasn't for Williams, the Warriors would be down by 20+, hell 30+.
They shouldn't even be within 15 points.

Tiago needs to go up with the intention of dunking that. He needs to be more aggressive there.
Another bad call, that was a damn charge.

Splitter needs to stop bringing the ball below shoulder-level after rebounds and after catching passes.
He would become alot more effective just by no longer doing that.

Spurs gonna win. Yes, another Win.
Restricted area
With the ratio of bad calls against the Spurs being about 3 to 1 (or more) and with how timely Splitter took the charge, regardless of the restricted area, it should be a call in favor for the Spurs.

Tiago is always in the middle of the 'ish. I love that about him. Hill is just smooth right now.
He is not timid. He doesn't look like he's gonna back down from any situation. But it's like he is hard-wired to play soft and finnesse with his offense.
He needs to keep the ball up high, and start lookin to get closer to the basket to take contact instead of doing that flip-crap though.

Yeah, it's strange. He is definitely tough and scrappy, but not aggressive. I mentioned that he brings the ball too low as well. It is very obvious. It makes him have to fight through a forest of arms on the way up.
Good news is he draws contact and gets to the line.

Good news is he draws contact and gets to the line.
Half of his flubbed plays over the last few games have been because he brings that ball low after a rebound and then gets it stripped or misses a tough shot.
I guess this is just one of those things that will only get noticeably corrected after a long grueling summer with Timmy, Pop, and co.

The guy is absolutely terrible and I have a hard time understanding how he could be in the NBA making millions. An Ime open shot is a Spurs bad shot. He can't shoot,dribble,pass and his defense is overrated by some. I personally would say his defense sucks. He is really slow and only a 6'5 small-foward. Too slow and too small, just an awful addition to the Spurs. His knowledge of the system means nothing to me.

He shot a little over 40% from three while with Portland, the year before he came to the Spurs. He shot 37% from three his first year with the spurs.
What is his percentage last season?

Dont forget to take away Tiago's defense.
So, Scola is not a good defender ? He compensates it with a monster production and consistency in offense, how is compensating Splitter his lack of everything ?

If the NBA wants to save money they can start by paying guys like Udoka 200,000 or less. If Udoka doesn't like the sound of 200,000 he can go ride the fucking bench in the European league.

Parker helps Spurs beat Warriors 111-94 (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap?gid=2010120824)
The San Antonio Spurs were determined to make franchise history at home.
Tony Parker had 19 points and nine assists, and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Golden State Warriors 111-94 on Wednesday night to set a franchise record for best start in a season through 21 games.
“We just try to play well at home, win as much games as we can because we know the second part of our schedule is going to be a lot of games on the road,” said Parker, who was 9 of 14 on field goals.
DeJuan Blair added 15 points and 13 rebounds for the Spurs (18-3), who have won their past 25 games against the Warriors in San Antonio.
It was Blair’s third double-double of the season.
Reggie Williams made eight 3-pointers and finished with a career-high 31 points for Golden State (8-14), which has dropped five straight and 10 of 11. Monta Ellis added 19 points.
“I thought Reggie (Williams) was good,” Warriors coach Keith Smart said. “I had a film session with him today. I shared with him that ‘You look like you’re not ready to play, and you’re afraid to make a mistake on the floor,’ and he saw that on film.”
The Warriors also lost Stephen Curry in the second quarter to a sprained right ankle. The second-year guard was dribbling behind the 3-point line when he hunched over, called a timeout and fell to the ground in pain. He was helped off the court by teammates and did not return.
The team said Curry’s X-rays were negative and the club thinks the injury is a sprain.
“Any time you lose a talent, you drop down three or four levels,” Smart said. “Not having him on the floor was definitely difficult because I had to move a lot of players around to positions to bring some of the younger guys off the bench to play.”
“You have very little room for error against a team like this team.”
And Golden State used up all the room it could, turning the ball over 22 times, which the Spurs translated into 20 points.
San Antonio shot 51 percent and put six players in double figures. George Hill scored 17, Manu Ginobili and Tiago Splitter each had 12 points and Richard Jefferson 10.
Tim Duncan, who had a triple-double in San Antonio’s win at Golden State on Nov. 30, finished with eight points in 17 minutes.
“Coach said it was going to be a penetrating and kick out kind of game,” Hill said. “If we do that we’re gonna have a lot of open shots. It started with (Parker) and (Ginobili). They started the game moving the ball great and finding the open shots for everybody else, and we just fed off that.”
Parker’s driving layup from the right side sparked a 16-0 run in the first quarter as the Spurs held the Warriors without a field goal for more than five minutes.
The Warriors rallied in the second quarter behind Dorell Wright and Williams. The duo each knocked down a 3-pointer and a jumper during a 10-0 rally that cut it to 46-43 with two minutes left in the half.
But San Antonio, in the middle of its longest homestand of the season, held Golden State to 42 percent shooting in the first half and led 57-47 at the break.
“I thought everybody did a really good job of finding the open man, being aggressive, but understanding that teammates were open and making the easy pass to the next guy,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “I thought everybody did that very well.”
Notes: The Spurs’ 25 straight home wins against the Warriors is the longest active streak of its kind for any NBA team against a single opponent. San Antonio has won nine straight against the Warriors overall. … San Antonio has scored at least 103 points in 15 of its wins. … No Spurs starter played more than 30 minutes.
I'm pretty sure Bowen intentionally injured Curry.

San Antonio Spurs 111, Golden State Warriors 94: The passing, oh my (http://www.48minutesofhell.com/)
by Andrew A. McNeill
48 Minutes of Hell
AT&T CENTER — The ball zipped around from point-to-point like a game of Pong on a sugar rush. For the sluggish Golden State Warriors, fresh off a 105-100 loss to the Mavericks in Dallas Tuesday night, it was almost unfair.
The San Antonio Spurs toyed with the Warriors for three quarters before ultimately putting Golden State out of its misery in the fourth of a 111-94 win on Wednesday night.

Congrats to Matt Bonner, who scored his 3,000th career NBA point tonight. Naturally, the Red Rocket reached the milestone with a 3.

Scola is a good defender for what he is.... he is tough.. smart.. gritty.. but undersized and a little cement footed.
Scola > Splitter overall obviously.... but that doesnt mean Splitter doesnt have areas in his game at which he is better than Scola.. and defense is quite clearly one of those areas he is/will be better IMO.

The Warriors knew they were going to lose Wednesday night.
They just didn't know the loss was going to hurt this much.
