Gary Neal on his confidence:


“My confidence level is pretty high. Tomorrow morning when we watch film, I’m pretty sure Coach Pop will bust that bubble. Right now I’m feeling good and I just have to continue to work and hopefully I can consistently play like this.”

[Crickets]

Lol

[UnWantedTheory]

Should be a pretty good game with us going into the 2nd game of a back-to-back.

[Texas Chili Dog]

For the love of all things holy...please Spurs, lose a goddamn game. :lol

In all seriousness though, I am looking forward to watching this one. Orlando had their first practice as their new team yesterday, so I don't know what to expect. Wait, yes I do: another Spurs win probably. I expect a game similar to the Mavs-Magic game on Tuesday. That little turd Redick did whatever he wanted against Dallas and I don't expect that to happen in this game.

Will be interesting to see if Hedo gets blocked by the rim again.

[100%duncan]

Lets Go Get This Game! :lobt: :toast :flag:

[Spurs Brazil]

This game will be on Brazil TV again (SpaceHD). Hope Tiago plays well

[TJastal]

And how much longer is Hedo's contract? Funny how the magic didn't want to give Hedo a big, long contract and now here they are essentially doing just that.

At least the magic were set to get rid of Carter after this season, and were essentially stuck with a ridiculous contract (Lewis, now Arenas).

[Darkwaters]

I'm more curious to see the Magic with all the new pieces, and one practice session, than anything. Spurs should have the advantage because of the lacking chemistry. But that doesn't mean the Magic can't win it on the back end of a back-to-back. Hold it together, get to 11 wins.

Go Spurs Go!

[Muser]

Spurs will win.

Referee Assignments
Thurs. Dec. 23
San Antonio @ Orlando: Mike Callahan; Tony Brown; Mark Lindsay

[sa_butta]

I think this will be a very tough match up for the Spurs. Hopefully the Spurs still have enough energy to pull out another win.

[Fireball]

My keys to victory: More energy from the Spurs bench and getting Dwight Howard into foul trouble! Go Spurs Go !!!

[xellos88330]

Orlando isn't a dead duck.

Spurs need to come out of the gates looking sharp on both ends of the court. Hopefully it will ruin any chemistry the Magic's first practice gave them.

GO SPURS GO!!! :flag:

[TDMVPDPOY]

they try to outrun us imo

but the spurs will continue to unload from the perimeter

[DPG21920]

Rebound. Defend the 3 point line.

[in2deep]

IMO our spurs will run out of gas by mid 3rd quarter. Let's hope they keep it a close game till then.

[jestersmash]

The Spurs are 5-0 when Ginobili scores 25 or more against the Magic.

The Spurs are 15-0 when Bonner scores at least six points.

[Scola]

Really looking forward to this game :]

A win would be real nice especially with the upcoming LA, DAL, & OKC games.
Orlando is playing pretty bad (4L streak) and they haven't had much time to work in the new guys. Hopefully the guys aren't too tired from the B2B and we don't get the TNT 'National Game' jinx.

SAS 105 - ORL 94 :flag:

[Dex]

Quick turnaround on a tough game last night. Hope the guys have the legs for this one.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Magic boosted the heck out of their backcourt with the pair of trades. Howard will get his, so focus on negating the shooters.

[Spurfect21]

Limit Howards easy scores/get him in foul trouble.....defend the 3....RUN, RUN, RUN and the Spurs will win a close one if they keep playing smart ball the way they have been

[Trainwreck2100]

Oh yay, reggie miller again

[Obstructed_View]

Seems like the Spurs get a lot of national games on the second night of a B2B. Glad they don't stink like they used to in those situations.

[DesignatedT]

Could see us dropping this game but I said the same thing when we traveled up to Denver on a b2b.

[Cry Havoc]

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

26-3. :flag:

[Darkwaters]

Spurs: 103
Magic: 98

Sloppy contest with poor shooting. Spurs get it together in the 4th to pull it out.

[janetcn12]

Hope they have enough to win this game & TP should shine in this one. Go Spurs Go

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Gotta rebound

[AlleyOopNazi]

Guards: attack Dwight early in the paint, with no Gortat and only Bass as viable back-up at center, keeping thier line-up small will benefit our rebounding and finding easier possessions. They have a bunch of 6'10" players, so maximizing the poorer 6'10" forwards minutes will hurt Orlando most likely.
Nothing out of the box for the streaking Spurs, as their patented 3 quarter shoot-out, and 4th Q lock-tite pressure D has been executed in all but a handful of games. IMO the D hasn't done anything drastic from last yr to now, but its night-in night-out consistency (esp. on road/ back2back games) has brought back a certain spark or expected quality that was once shared by the past championship Spurs squads.
Stay humble, hungry, and eager to reach perfection on team defense. Our young guys are doing their job, and our vets need to stay aggressive.
If the Spurs can weather the storm until the 4th quarter, you have to believe Spurs D can get the job done and get a couple key stops to secure the W. No way Orlando shoots as well as the Nuggets did, but expect better Defensive pressure to even the score.

[DPG21920]

Could see us dropping this game but I said the same thing when we traveled up to Denver on a b2b.

In all fairness, they probably should have.

[Frenzy]

Do any of you guys find less joy in the game if you dvr the game and watch it 3 hours later?

My wife is like go with me to the river walk just dvr it! I'm like no its not the same women!:bang

[JustinJDW]

ATTACK THE BASKET! ATTACK THE BASKET! ATTACK THE BASKET! AND ATTACK DWIGHT!!!

If we can get Dwight in foul trouble, that team will literally have no defense and fall apart. They got Dwight and freaking Brandon Bass. Other than that, pretty much no bigs. And we got a lot of bigs. ATTACK!

Do not get into a 3-point shooting contest with the Magic. Please don't.

[JustinJDW]

Do any of you guys find less joy in the game if you dvr the game and watch it 3 hours later?Eh, maybe a little less joy, but I am perfectly fine with it because I can just forward through the commercials. :toast

[janetcn12]

Watch out for D. H , he could be problem & hope TP will perform well today. Go Spurs Go

[AidanNelson2009]

Looking forward to this game. Hopefully we can get another close win :D. It'll be interesting to see how the Magic go with thier new look team.

[arodz]

I get a bad feeling that Arenas is gonna go off tonight.

[janetcn12]

What time does the game start

[Fireball]

Dwight is funny

[ace3g]

will Neal have 3 straight games of 22 pts?

[TE]

Fuck charles barkley

[TE]

No respect for the Spurs whatsoever

[duncan228]

Kenny respects the Spurs.

[BoricuaCJA]

1 hit wonders by Kenny! lol

[Fireball]

Watch out for D. H , he could be problem & hope TP will perform well today. Go Spurs Go

Agree that we will need TP, but most other teams that faced Orlando had success by playing Dwight straight up and concentrate on stopping the other Magic players ... Dwight getting 35 Pts and 20 Reb won't mean automatic victory for Orlando

[janetcn12]

CB has always being a big mouth...

[TE]

Hell yeah, Kenny knows what is up. Charles Barkley watches ESPN too much.

[Spursfan101]

Gotta love kenny the jet giving the spurs their props

[Texas_Ranger]

Charles go eat some shit.

[NASpurs]

As funny as what Charles said, the funniest thing is what people are saying in this thread. :lmao

So he's not on the Spurs' cock, wgaf.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Charles go eat some shit.
That would be nice. That fat ass never knows when to shut up.

[DPG21920]

Charles go eat some shit.

Why does this bother Spurs fans :lol

[Spursfan101]

Hahahahahahahaha GINOOOOOOOBILI!!!!

[Trimble87]

Agree that we will need TP, but most other teams that faced Orlando had success by playing Dwight straight up and concentrate on stopping the other Magic players ... Dwight getting 35 Pts and 20 Reb won't mean automatic victory for Orlando


Dwight is a terrible post up player, take your chances playing him straight up and all 5 box out

[timtonymanu]

Why does this bother Spurs fans :lol

+1. Who cares honestly?

[Fireball]

Perhaps it contractually not allowed for Kenny and Charles to have the same oppinion ... just to make the discussion more interesting. Charles took the short straw, but in his heart he wants to scream GINOBILI !!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Those games on TNT take a while to start

[Muser]

Those games on TNT take a while to start

This is the thing I hate about ILP, you just gotta sit and stare at the same screen for 15 minutes before you get the game.

[Refocus]

What did Ginobili say? I walked out of the room for a min.

[timtonymanu]

Those games on TNT take a while to start

Which is why the second game is always overlapped. Thank God we're first today.

[Texas_Ranger]

lol Reggie

[Spurs Brazil]

White jersey on the road

[NASpurs]

I just hope Brandon Bass doesn't go off on the Spurs.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Tipoff

[Spurs Brazil]

Great start Blair :(

[ace3g]

Spurs wearing White Jerseys in Orlando

[CFH]

3 second violation, gotdammit

[timtonymanu]

Blair dumb play already

[janetcn12]

Couldn't bother with CB.. That is his signature tune...to make the conversation interesting...

[Spurologist]

did Reggie just say we have a new offense?

[timtonymanu]

JRich torching already

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Richardson looking good for Magic. I forgot that guy got traded.

[DPG21920]

Is it me or is the energy level to start from the Spurs at an all time low?

[Trainwreck2100]

shitty start

[suitedkings]

Orlandos jerseys are stylish

[janetcn12]

C'mon spurs....be aggressive.

[NASpurs]

Tony should stop texting and work on that ft shot.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fuck you Howard.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Manu

[CFH]

Manu jumper off the glass

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Nice step-back bank shot by Manu

[suitedkings]

Manu with the horse shot.

[timtonymanu]

defense once again sucks

[DPG21920]

Early bad foul on Tim. That is not good.

Spurs defense looking absolutely garbage to start. Again.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Horrible start.

[ShoogarBear]

No ball movement.

[DPG21920]

Spurs need Tim tonight in a big way. He has to avoid fouls.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

early bad foul on tim. That is not good.

Spurs defense looking absolutely garbage to start. Again.
+1

[CFH]

Blair!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Blair doin' work

[HarlemHeat37]

I bet on the Magic to win this game, I think it's going to be a double-digit loss for the Spurs, tbh..I think Pop will waive the white flag tonight, at some point, and I think the Magic are due for a win, while the Spurs are due for a loss..

[duncan228]

They're obviously tired. They'll wake up.

Hopefully.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

That was almost too easy for Howard there.

[Spurs Brazil]

we look slow

[Death In June]

Duncan getting embarrassed.

[ShoogarBear]

This could get ugly fast.

[dbestpro]

Blair :(

[timtonymanu]

I bet on the Magic to win this game, I think it's going to be a double-digit loss for the Spurs, tbh..I think Pop will waive the white flag tonight, at some point, and I think the Magic are due for a win, while the Spurs are due for a loss..

looks like. Pop would have called a TO by now.

[Spurologist]

defense is atrocious again......not a good sign

[janetcn12]

Magic start out strong...sloppy as usual for Spurs..Go Spurs Go....get the point

[Trainwreck2100]

Blair's DOA today

[DPG21920]

This is an embarrassing start. No ball movement. No energy. Turn overs. Terrible defense.

Lets hope the Spurs can absorb this good start and then pick up their energy as the game goes on.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TD!

[CFH]

Timmy with the putback

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Good job Duncan! :)

[dbestpro]

Blair sucks.

[DPG21920]

Much better defense right there by Tim. Blair has to get closer to Bass. Just totally unprepared for Bass mentally. He can shoot all day long.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Just a bad start. Spurs will bounce back.

[timtonymanu]

TP looks like shit again. He shouldnt even be tired right now. He barely did shit last night.

[NASpurs]

Typical Spurs. Just keep the game close for three quarters and turn it up in the fourth.

[Spurs Brazil]

I'm telling. Blair must stop with this twitter crap and read the scouting report. Bass can shot. WAKE UP BLAIR

TP with a crap start

[Spurologist]

if tp can't snap out of his funk........it will get ugly

[suitedkings]

ya he shoulda slowed it down on that last possession.

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs' only chance will be Bonner/Neal/Ginobili going off from long distance..

[janetcn12]

Give TP a break. He will pick up soon...Go TP...work your ass..stop texting to Eva

[DPG21920]

Spurs literally look asleep. You couldn't possibly play with less energy. Also, they are completely ignoring people on offense. Just Tim/Manu or TP/Tim. No movement by players or the ball.

Dwight is too good defensively for that to work.

[Blackjack]

Pardon my French, but fuck wearing white on the road. And fuck any home team asking the Spurs to do so.

Go Spurs Go.

[dbestpro]

Blair right now is playing worse than any other Spur.

[Crookshanks]

White jersey on the road

Yeah - I didn't have my glasses on, and I was confused about the score when I saw the guy in the dark jersey make a basket. I put my glasses on - and lo and behold, the Spurs are in white. Why is that?

[dbestpro]

TP looks like shit again. He shouldnt even be tired right now. He barely did shit last night.

My hi-def shows TP with blood shot eyes. Maybe sick or too much wine. Who knows?

[Spurs Brazil]

Good job Manu

[DPG21920]

Much better activity coming out of that timeout. Kind of sloppy, but leads to a foul.

[NASpurs]

lol Manu getting bailed out

[Chieflion]

Dwight just claps his hands watching Manu's oscar performance.

[Spurologist]

Arenas vs. Quinn will be very interesting

[janetcn12]

White mean surrender...hope we don't surrender too early... Go Spurs

[DPG21920]

I like the energy right now. They seem to have a bit more bounce.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

A lot of free throws tonight so far for the Spurs....

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!

[CFH]

Manu tressssssssssssssssss!

[NASpurs]

Typical Spurs. Look like shit and yet keep the game close.

[Spurologist]

mmmmmaaaaaaannnnnuuuuuuuuuu 333333333333333333

[timtonymanu]

When in doubt, go to Manu.

[DPG21920]

TP for 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CFH]

Parker 3!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp 3333333333333333333333

[timtonymanu]

There we go Tony.

[ShoogarBear]

I can't believe they're in the lead.

[Spurologist]

ttttttttttppppppppppppppppp 33333333333333333

[suitedkings]

that was for the haters /parker

[BoricuaCJA]

Nice movement on offense right there.

[DPG21920]

:lol Tim, grab that one. Tim Splitter.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Pardon my French, but fuck wearing white on the road. And fuck any home team asking the Spurs to do so.

Go Spurs Go.

I know, fuck the Magic thinking they can wear black instead of the on-the-road Spurs.

[Chieflion]

Well, Duncan needed GPS to find that ball.

[DPG21920]

I can't believe they're in the lead.

Energy got a lot better after the timeout.

[ShoogarBear]

Holy crap, Bonner with the steal.

[BoricuaCJA]

Bonner with the steal. lol

[Capt Bringdown]

How did Duncan not get fouled?

[CFH]

Bonner with the quick hands! :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Tony

Good D Bonner

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Tony Parker looking better tonight....

[Refocus]

lol bonner with the D

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony is ALIVE!!

[CFH]

Parker jumper

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Again, Tony.

[ShoogarBear]

Energy got a lot better after the timeout.

It could hardly have gotten worse. They still don't look all that good, and there's still no ball movement. I think they're lulling the Magic to sleep.

[timtonymanu]

Nice Tim. Dwight with 2.

[DPG21920]

TP heating up. Good sign. Spurs need to draw the second foul. Tim! well done.

[NASpurs]

Goooooooooood bye Dwight

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2nd on Howard

[Spurologist]

tp's got his groove back... :tu

[duncan228]

Charge! :lol

[suitedkings]

lol Duncan with a flop?

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

lol bonner with the D
lol at Matt Bonner blocking a shot.

[Uriel]

2nd on Howard

[janetcn12]

Good job TP...way to gp

[Crookshanks]

That's the game plan - get Howard in foul trouble and the Magic are screwed.

[BoricuaCJA]

A lot of late foul calls by the refs tonight. Even though it is in our favor, I still get annoyed with it.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol I've never seen Tim take a flop in the post like that, great strategy, he can't handle Howard 1 on 1 anymore..

Howard is out, Spurs MUST take advantage of this..guard the 3 here, they have no inside game right now..

[CFH]

Travel by Neal, dammit

[DPG21920]

Spurs boarding well. That is crucial this game.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

pop's magical TO

[ohmwrecker]

My hi-def shows TP with blood shot eyes. Maybe sick or too much wine. Who knows?

Eva

[MI21]

I don't understand why the referees are getting on the Spurs for travelling... those plays happen every time down the floor.

[Capt Bringdown]

Reggie Miller makes my ears bleed.

[Muser]

2 early on Howard :tu

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Tony!!

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

I've got a delay on my tv.
The game blog is ahead of the action?

[CFH]

Parker with 10 early

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Nelson is lazy. Tony drifting right by him.

[Spurologist]

Richardson = JR Smith

as in they are spurs killers atm

[DPG21920]

Tim owned Dwight last time they played one on one HH.

[Uriel]

Richardson looks shorter than his 6-6 listing

[DPG21920]

:wow TP that was sick

[BoricuaCJA]

Yeah Parker.

[CFH]

Parker is ballin' after that slow start

[MI21]

Nice challenge on Bass by Timmy. Take note Blair.

[NASpurs]

Spurs going for a 30+ first quarter

[janetcn12]

Yes, TP..you are alive....awesome...

[Refocus]

Time for TP to feast.

[ShoogarBear]

Damn, Tony.

[Sisk]

Lol tp

[Spurologist]

tony motherfucking parker is a beasting....couple more shots for Kevin Harlan's "He's a FLAME THROWER"

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony playing great after the timeout. I think Pop went hard on him

[DPG21920]

Spurs need a nice little burst here. They need the cushion while Dwight is out. As the game goes on, those tired legs will start to make things difficult.

[Trainwreck2100]

Spurs going for a 30+ first quarter

surprising they started like shit

[HarlemHeat37]

Tim owned Dwight last time they played one on one HH.

Duncan's too good of a player, even now, to not win some games vs. Howard..however, it seems like Dwight has been getting the better of him for around 2 years now, maybe 3..

[MI21]

Btw, I like the half flop by Tim.

Howard has definitely improved his post game and has a lot more finesse, but his post dribble to set up his moves consists of smashing into his opponent.. Tim did flop, but the offensive foul was there.

[dbestpro]

Nice challenge on Bass by Timmy. Take note Blair.

Blair needs more than notes. He needs to go back to the drawing board.

[Muser]

Good to see TP getting back into it.

[HarlemHeat37]

Reggie Miller makes my ears bleed.

Reggie and his sister are arguably the most annoying "analysts" in sports..

I'd probably kill myself if I had to spend 10 minutes at a Miller family BBQ..

[dbestpro]

The question is will fatigue start to effect their outside shot as the game goes on?

[Muser]

Duncan's too good of a player, even now, to not win some games vs. Howard..however, it seems like Dwight has been getting the better of him for around 2 years now, maybe 3..

Dwight will get the better of every big man in the league, barring a few exceptions (Shaq etc.)

[timtonymanu]

Reggie and his sister are arguably the most annoying "analysts" in sports..

I'd probably kill myself if I had to spend 10 minutes at a Miller family BBQ..

:lol definitely.

[DPG21920]

See, IMO, the Spurs need to double Howard when he is in. He is a terrible passer and is prone to turning it over. Obviously, they don't need to do it too often as the Magic have really good 3PT shooters, but a few times would be smart imo...

[Fireball]

Obviosly the Spurs players didn't know they would have to wear the white jerseys ... they all brought their black shoes to this road game!

[NASpurs]

lol Spurs were trying to lob it to RJ

[Muser]

tbh you would just have to mention Tayshaun and he'd break down.

[Spurologist]

I saw that alley hoop coming :lol

foul on hedo

[DPG21920]

Neal vs Reddick :lol

[ShoogarBear]

The question is will fatigue start to effect their outside shot as the game goes on?

I hope they aren't go to try to go feast-or-famine from the arc.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Neal!

[CFH]

Neal floater

[ace3g]

Neal with the baseline runner

[HarlemHeat37]

Jefferson is being guarded by Hedo fucking Turkoglu, run some plays for him..common sense..

[CFH]

Quinn in

[MI21]

There is the difference between Neal and Mason.. he has that inbetween game and decisive first dribble.

That said, why does he back off of Reddick.. crowd him please.

[Chieflion]

15-0 when Quinn plays? 100% winning.

[ace3g]

Spurs 15-0 when Chris Quinn plays???

[ohmwrecker]

Btw, I like the half flop by Tim.

Howard has definitely improved his post game and has a lot more finesse, but his post dribble to set up his moves consists of smashing into his opponent.. Tim did flop, but the offensive foul was there.

There's a difference between flopping and selling the foul.

[Sisk]

Seriously... at what % is Neal making his floater?

[Fireball]

Agent One ?

[Uriel]

Quinn = win
We're on pace for 100 points which = win

[NASpurs]

Great D by Bonner

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Easily a travel there.

[DPG21920]

Of course Arenas who has been garbage and is a chucker now hits his first two...

Spurs did not take advantage of Howard on the bench.

[HarlemHeat37]

Arenas is due for a good game, looks like it's going to be tonight..

Bonner has defended very well vs. Bass in the 2 possessions, so far..

[Texas_Ranger]

Lets hope Neal doesn't think he's MJ

[Death In June]

Bonner is playing pretty decent. Shouldnt have passed up the open 3 though.

[Muser]

TP WTF? Ryan fucking Anderson is protecting the paint and we're taking jumpers..

[ShoogarBear]

Does TNT have the score wrong?

[Spurs Brazil]

Not a good finish

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fuck, shot clock violation.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Howard goes out, and the Spurs lead dwindles.

It's gonna be a rough game especially when Arenas has his best game in years.

[Uriel]

Wow, that almost went in.

[CFH]

Spurs up 1 after the first. Er down 2, damn TNT and their score being wrong...

[timtonymanu]

So are we winning or losing? The score never changed.

[NASpurs]

I was not surprised that shot by Arenas almost went in. Bullshit shots always go in against the Spurs for some reason.

[DPG21920]

Score is wrong.

[Spurologist]

unfortunate deflection.......Arenas vs. Quinn might be a bloodbath

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Of course Arenas who has been garbage and is a chucker now hits his first two...

Spurs did not take advantage of Howard on the bench.
Before Facing San Antonio - Gilbert Arenas 3-17 in FTS
Tonight - 2-2
:bang

[dbestpro]

There is no way that .2 did not run off the clock prior to that last shot.

[Soul]

Glad TNT wants to count the score.

[Texas_Ranger]

it should be 28 - 26 Orlando

[DPG21920]

That was a pretty terrible quarter. Spurs almost got bailed out by finding a way to keep it close. Then they play terrible and shit the bed with Howard on the bench.

[Spurs Brazil]

Does TNT have the score wrong?

Yep, Magic is up 28-26

[Capt Bringdown]

Lets hope Neal doesn't think he's MJ
I was a tad worried that he might force things too much.

[Texas_Ranger]

I love how they leave Arenas open. Like he's fucking Ime Udoka.

[NASpurs]

Orlando's offense seems more free flowing with Dwight out. With him in the low post and trying to pound it down, it slows down big time much like when the Spurs used to always call "4 down".
