Game Blog: Spurs @ Knicks - Jan. 4

[GSH]

Also, I predict this will be a very different game in the second half. pop will find a way to slow it down and grind it out more. Then we'll see the Knicks go cold. The key is not giving them too much of a lead by the half.

Exactly. I was just thinking that Pop may have been conserving fouls for that. Put some bodies on these guys, and throw them out of rhythm, and that shooting percentage will go to hell in a handbasket.

[Capt Bringdown]

Damn, Neal with 3 fouls already?

[angelbelow]

Fields was a solid pick for the Knicks. Could turn out to be one of those 2nd round steal type picks.

[tdunk21]

TP 14 pts already.......

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Landry Fields is an RC kind of find. Wasn't he drafted in the 40s?

[CFH]

Rebound GOTDAMMIT!

[GSH]

Neal with 3 fouls.

And they gave another foul to McDyess that should have been Neal's.

[SpurAddict561]

Parker is knifing them

we just gotta GET STOPS

[SpurAddict561]

Parker is knifing them

we just gotta GET STOPS

[timtonymanu]

Rebound guys.

[loveforthegame]

Chandler killing us.

[Spurs Brazil]

We need to do a better job on the boards

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I think Clyde and Breen are the second best announcing team behind the guys in Clipperland. I put our guys 3rd, although Sean should be less of a homer.

[CFH]

Spurs get it down to 2 then it's right back up to 4 every time

[GSH]

Here's where we go on one of those sneaky runs and get a 1 point lead at the half.

[TMTTRIO]

Manu is out of it and continues to struggle. If that's the case I'd rather have him not play. He's not been aggressive at all and continues to do jumpshots that have not shot. Oh and lets not forget the turnovers.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Chandler killing us.

We don't have anyone to match up on big, athletic tweener forwards. The one real weakness of our roster.

[NASpurs]

I think Clyde and Breen are the second best announcing team behind the guys in Clipperland. I put our guys 3rd, although Sean should be less of a homer.

Sean announces for a small market with one professional team. His homerism is at the right level.

[angelbelow]

I think Clyde and Breen are the second best announcing team behind the guys in Clipperland. I put our guys 3rd, although Sean should be less of a homer.

Was just thinking to myself that this announcing team is refreshing compared to some of the other teams.

[NASpurs]

Manu is out of it and continues to struggle. If that's the case I'd rather have him not play. He's not been aggressive at all and continues to do jumpshots that have not shot. Oh and lets not forget the turnovers.

You're like the weirdest poster here when it comes to Manu.

[Fireball]

I think Clyde and Breen are the second best announcing team behind the guys in Clipperland. I put our guys 3rd, although Sean should be less of a homer.

NY announcers are good, but why is he called Clyde? Is that a nickname for Walt?

[ohmwrecker]

Just wanted to point out that occasionally we see things the same way. :lol

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

[timvp]

I get that, but can you explain me why Pop keeps McDyess on the floar for soo long, he is the least mobile big we have...?
?

McDyess is the most mobile big on the roster.


We don't have anyone to match up on big, athletic tweener forwards. The one real weakness of our roster.

RJ, hypothetically, should be the answer.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu is out of it and continues to struggle. If that's the case I'd rather have him not play. He's not been aggressive at all and continues to do jumpshots that have not shot. Oh and lets not forget the turnovers.

This year, especially lately, Manu has often been saving his energy until the 4th Q. Wouldn't surprise me if he's doing that today given the pace of the game.

[Warlord23]

The Spurs have the better FG% and are still trailing. Reasons: more turnovers and fewer offensive rebounds.

The fucking Knicks with two-and-a-half big men on their roster are outrebounding us

[ohmwrecker]

NY announcers are good, but why is he called Clyde? Is that a nickname for Walt?

Clyde is his jive name.

[ShoogarBear]

I think Clyde and Breen are the second best announcing team behind the guys in Clipperland. I put our guys 3rd, although Sean should be less of a homer.

Clyde and Breen are the best; the Clipper guys, not so much.

[angelbelow]

Oh my..

[Capt Bringdown]

NY announcers are good, but why is he called Clyde? Is that a nickname for Walt?

Walt Frazier was a fashion leader in the 60's for his "Bonnie & Clyde" inspired outfits.

[CFH]

Turiaf mad after Blair dunks it on him :lol

[ace3g]

Blair wow!!!

[timtonymanu]

LMAO Turiaf

[easjer]

That was entertaining.

[GinobiliForTres]

the spurs have the better fg% and are still trailing. Reasons: More turnovers and fewer offensive rebounds.

The fucking knicks with two-and-a-half big men on their roster are outrebounding us

lol turiaf

[Libri]

Beast!! :elephant

Turiaf mad that he got shitted on. :lol

[janetcn12]

c'mon spurs

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Blair!!!!!

[Juanobili]

haha nice! we need a .gif of that

[Fireball]

nice, Dejuan !!!

[GSH]

D'Antoni's teams known for running, not thinking.

[angelbelow]

We don't have anyone to match up on big, athletic tweener forwards. The one real weakness of our roster.

Also, at least one of the plays, Chandler was mismatched against Parker. He just posted and overpowered Parker.

[Juanobili]

I love you Blair!!!

[Libri]

Beast again!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sean announces for a small market with one professional team. His homerism is at the right level.

I don't mind it, just wish he'd be a bit less of a homer. I value objectivity, that's why I love the Clippers' guys.


Was just thinking to myself that this announcing team is refreshing compared to some of the other teams.

Give the Clips' announcers a go. They're fantastic!


NY announcers are good, but why is he called Clyde? Is that a nickname for Walt?

Yup. Don't know the origin of it tho.


It was bound to happen sooner or later.

...on the balance of probabilities.


?
RJ, hypothetically, should be the answer.

Yes, hypothetically. ;) :lol

[tdunk21]

blair with the dunk and then fastbreak........

[CFH]

Blair!

[ace3g]

Blair again!!!

[Bukefal]

:lol lol turiaf

[Cessation]

Wow blair facial on dumbass turiaf.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That Grizzly-Turiaf chest bump was awesome! :lmao

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I like Turiaf. He plays with passion.

[timtonymanu]

free throw shooting fest for the Knicks

[Libri]

:lol lol turiaf

He mad. lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Very entertaining game thus far, unless you appreciate defense. :lmao

[GSH]

I don't mind these whistles, because they hose the flow of the game, and the Knicks rhythm will go with it.

[Spurs Brazil]

A lot of BS calls on us

[easjer]

WTH was that? My goodness, this is sort of fun.

[angelbelow]

Clyde and Breen are the best; the Clipper guys, not so much.

I like the Clipperland guys too. I've always thought that they were extremely entertaining. And when they get into extreme homerism mode, its done in a tasteful way where you feeling that theyre just being very enthusiastic about their team. Beyond that, they always have great insight on the other team - which is usually pretty rare.

[Pauleta14]

?

McDyess is the most mobile big on the roster.




I meant he doesn't have the freshest legs on the roster, I would have put Blair in the game earlier...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Parker's wrist-snap was wrong on that shot.

[GinobiliForTres]

free throw shooting fest for the Knicks

they're gonna have 100 by middle 3rd. ridiculous.

[loveforthegame]

I like Turiaf. He plays with passion.

I've always liked him. He's an energy guy for sure. Warriors miss him.

[austN Spur]

Go Spurs GO!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

ugh allowing almost 70 pts in the first half, come on

[Texas_Ranger]

We fucking suck

[DPG21920]

Spurs 3PT defense rearing it's ugly head.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs have to play better in the 3rd or this game will get ugly very quickly.

[GSH]

Like I said. D'Antoni teams known for running, not for thinking.

[weebo]

fucking bullshit that's 70 in a half

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I like the Clipperland guys too. I've always thought that they were extremely entertaining. And when they get into extreme homerism mode you, its done in a tasteful way were you feeling that theyre just being very enthusiastic about their team. Beyond that, they always have great insight on the other team - which is usually pretty rare.

My thoughts exactly. Love those guys. :tu

[NRHector]

just like if he was in Phoenix

[loveforthegame]

Crappy end to the half.

[JohnnySixString]

Defe......
:rolleyes

Oh fuck it....just score 100 more points than them at least.

[DPG21920]

We fucking suck

No. We don't. Spurs aren't going to blow every team out. Spurs are playing extremely poor defense, but they are in it.

[Fireball]

Amare is such an idiot

[GSH]

And Amare is STILL mouthing off. He could pick up a second here if the refs don't give him a break.

[ohmwrecker]

Parker's wrist-snap was wrong on that shot.

Chip?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs are gonna get ripped by Pop. The D will go up a notch in the second half.

[ace3g]

big 3 by RJ!!!

[DPG21920]

That was a two

[austN Spur]

Wow what a half. Spurs turn it up in the 2nd half and we gots this

[loveforthegame]

Needed that 3 by Jefferson.

[timtonymanu]

Just down by 3 now. The Spurs must pick up the defensive intensity in the 2nd half. This pace is favoring the Knicks right now.

[Banzai]

Spurs defense let down in the first half?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Chip?

Chip and I see eye to eye on this. We discussed it extensively when I visited in 2007. ;)

[Crookshanks]

Since the game is on NBA TV, I can't watch it. I'm looking at the score - is ANYONE playing defense in this game?

[ulosturedge]

So much for defense lol.....

[Dex]

Both teams going for 140.

[DPG21920]

72 points. We can put that amazing defense talk to rest. Spurs played well defensively against offensively challenged or tired teams.

This was their first true test since their d started getting pub. F++++++++++++

[Spurs Brazil]

72pts at the half. I think Pop will have a heart attack

Good news we're only down 3

[boutons_deux]

holy shit, crazy hot shooting.

Spurs can turn up the D, can the Knickerbockers?

[ChuckD]

If this were the Nets, it could be sold as an old school ABA shootout.

[weebo]

the spurs left the d in san antone

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I think Spurs were honestly trying to give up 100 points in that first half.

Amazing.

[GinobiliForTres]

Since the game is on NBA TV, I can't watch it. I'm looking at the score - is ANYONE playing defense in this game?

it's a failed attempt.

[angelbelow]

Give the Clips' announcers a go. They're fantastic!

I'm from LA and ESPECIALLY this year Ive been watching a lot of Clippers balls. Its got something to do with Blake Griffin :p:

But they're great. Not only is the chemistry really there between Ralph and Mike but they really good deep in their research on times. Its evident when they provide great insightful and detailed information about the opposing teams.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Since the game is on NBA TV, I can't watch it. I'm looking at the score - is ANYONE playing defense in this game?

Nope.

We will see a different game starting some time in the 3rd.

[dbestpro]

Since the game is on NBA TV, I can't watch it. I'm looking at the score - is ANYONE playing defense in this game?

It's on FSSW.

[siraulo23]

DAMN

theyre not gonna score 72 points in the 2nd half right?

right?

[timvp]

:smchode:

[Cessation]

Knicks will cool of, and pop will get in that ass.

[ChuckD]

Spurs defense let down in the first half?

FAST pace set by the Knicks.

[Budkin]

If we could just play a little D we would be up big now.

[NASpurs]

First to 120 points wins the game although with the way the teams are scoring, first to 140 points wins the game seems more like it.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I think the Spurs play lockdown in the 3rd....then Amare goes on an and-1 parade to give the Knicks the win in the 4th.

[siraulo23]

It's all RJ's fault tbh, firing up the knicks

[Texas_Ranger]

Looks like they don't want to play defense cause if they get tired we'll lose to Boston.

[Fireball]

72 points. We can put that amazing defense talk to rest. Spurs played well defensively against offensively challenged or tired teams.

This was their first true test since their d started getting pub. F++++++++++++

This is our first game against these Knicks ... Pop and the players first have to figure it out. Look at the game against OKC ... there the Spurs have figured it out last season how to stop them.

[arodz]

Defense? Hellooooo? Are you there? You are needed at immediately at Madison Square Garden.

[timtonymanu]

Stoudewhiner in effect.

[Crookshanks]

It's on FSSW.

I'm in Ft. Worth - Spurs aren't shown here. :depressed

[Warlord23]

Well I think we all knew it was going to be difficult to stop Amare and Felton. The problem is that Landry Fields, Wilson Chandler and Shawne Williams are shitting on the Spurs.

[angelbelow]

Lol C-Webb

[GSH]

I'm from LA and ESPECIALLY this year Ive been watching a lot of Clippers ballgames. Its got something to do with Blake Griffin


FIFY... I hope.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I have been doing the same... love the Griffin-Gordon-Jordan combo. So much fun to watch, regardless of whether they win or lose. :wow

Well said on Ralph and Mike. You've summed up why I like them perfectly. :tu

[easjer]

The Thunder only scored 2 more points in the entire game.

Unreal.

I expect it will be different, they've consistently played better in the second half. But mother of fuck. SEVENTY-TWO points in the first HALF?!

[Pauleta14]

72pts at the half. I think Pop will have a heart attack

Good news we're only down 3


Didn't the exact same thing happened to the Heat, one of the best D team in the league, against the warriors?

Or was it 72 on 3 quarters?

[Dex]

Yet again, one of those games where the Spurs offense is keeping them in the game.

Yes, they should play better defense than to allow 72 points in a half. But if these types of things are going to happen, it's a damn good thing the Spurs are at least able to put up 69.

1 possession game is a 1 possession game.

[timvp]

If the Spurs stop attacking the basket, the Knicks can blow this game open in a blink of an eye. The Spurs can get easy shots with a few simple passes ... or even just a solid screen.

This may be the rare game that Manu's creativity isn't needed. He, along with everyone else, just needs to keep it simple.

[ElNono]

http://www.threadbombing.com/data/media/14/Wtfisgoingon.gif

[Fireball]

Stoudewhiner in effect.

And he actually said their defense was good ... Pop would burn a player making such comments after receiving 69 pts in a half

[Pauleta14]

BTW Props to Tony for keeping attacking the rim despite all the hits and blocks he received, we need that...

[DPG21920]

This is our first game against these Knicks ... Pop and the players first have to figure it out. Look at the game against OKC ... there the Spurs have figured it out last season how to stop them.

OKC was exhausted. Just like the Spurs vs Orlando.

[ElNono]

Pop trying to beat D'Antoni with just offense... the ultimate insult really :lol

[Budkin]

We all know Stoudemire's disdain for the Spurs... who will ever forget the pushups...

[kjhip1]

As long as we get the win...I could give a sh*t about the score...This has the feel of an old Spurs-Suns game...Suns come out fast and get a lead, but the Spurs stay close and in the last 5-6 minutes of the game we close them out...Same old story here different team...I doubt the Spurs give up more then 50 points the 2nd half...someone has to start missing shots..

[easjer]

That's worked against D'Antoni/Amare' before. . .

[Warlord23]

What's done is done. The question is can they play lockdown D for 1 full quarter? That should be more than enough to win this game.

[Drachen]

Didn't the exact same thing happened to the Heat, one of the best D team in the league, against the warriors?

Or was it 72 on 3 quarters?

No you are right, 72 pts in the first half and went on to win the game. I think they only allowed 37 in the second half.

[GSH]

+1.

We didn't have much trouble scoring when we got shots up. It's hard to score when you try to get too fancy and turn the ball over. Even with the Knicks scoring 72, we could have won the half without the turnovers.

[Fireball]

OKC was exhausted. Just like the Spurs vs Orlando.

Might be, but they are young. Hope Pop proves that they can make adjustments in halftime, otherwise this game could end up in a loss.

[ElNono]

tbh, the Knicks were making some incredibly bullshit shots too...
They will cool down. The question is if we're going to cool down too...

[NRHector]

ok, will the real Spurs come out and play? :flag:

[GSH]

We all know Stoudemire's disdain for the Spurs... who will ever forget the pushups...

I think he outgrew that after getting his ass kicked in the playoffs so many times. He wants to beat the Spurs, but I don't think there's any disrespect there anymore.

[angelbelow]

FIFY... I hope.

LOL, GSH, once again with the nice catch. :toast


I have been doing the same... love the Griffin-Gordon-Jordan combo. So much fun to watch, regardless of whether they win or lose. :wow

Well said on Ralph and Mike. You've summed up why I like them perfectly. :tu

TBH I wasn't a big fan of Jordan in past seasons. Didn't seem like a hard worker but ive been impressed this season thus far. Hes providing a lot of 2nd chance opportunities for them while playing solid D.

Also Mike Smith usually interviews a player from the opposing team and they would air it during the down time - if not he would talk about it on air. Does any other call team do that?

[ElNono]

Please be a 'tale of two halves' game...

I'm in Ft. Worth - Spurs aren't shown here. :depressed

You have internet. Why don't you use one of the plethora of illegal free online streaming sites out there? I'm not going to name them but I'm fine with letting you know that they exist. I'm simultaneously watching FSSW on tv and a free online NBA TV stream to get cwebb/mchale's perspectives on the game.

[Cherry]

Pop trying to beat D'Antoni with just offense... the ultimate insult really :lol

:lmao

[NASpurs]

8 players in double figures for both teams combined at the half. :lmao

[ElNono]

I'm in Jersey and fucking Dish doesn't carry MSG anymore over some bullshit fee dispute... So the game is there on NBA TV, in glorious HD, but it's blacked out!!!!!

I'm watching online.

[xellos88330]

Well... hopefully the Knickerbockers cool off before the Spurs do.

Interesting game.

Spurs zone defense seemed to affect the Knick offense for a little bit there.

[DPG21920]

Hey, it is what it is. Spurs last year would have no shot at this game. Of course I am disappointed with this defense, but the offense is stout and the Spurs have a shot at almost every game because of it.

Because of their offense, there is a wider margin for error on defense. If they can just defend well in the 4th quarters, they can win a lot of games.

[WeNeedLength]

We say they are going to cool down. It seems to happen almost every game. But Orlando was an example where they didn't cool down, albeit a B2B against a tired spurs team. If they hold Knicks to 110, I will be extremely happy and Spurs should win. I will say Spurs 119 Knicks 111. Go Spurs!

[ElNono]

I actually bet Pringles is pretty pissed that they played and shot that well and it's only a 2-3 point game...

[Arc]

we're both playing at a fast pace, so a score this high is bound to happen. not to mention the knicks were really hot that first half. i don't expect them to be all game. we should be in the lead right now, but dice made a few bonehead plays that killed us. plus all the other turnovers... yeah. the second half is gonna be interesting.

[NRHector]

Pop trying to beat D'Antoni with just offense... the ultimate insult really :lol

:lol

[itzsoweezee]

McDyess's game has dropped off significantly since the beginning of the season. It's not only this game; his bad games outnumber his good games these days.

[ElNono]

Orlando did cool down eventually. Pop just pulled the plug early in the 3rd with the team down 20 and tired legs. They're matching the energy today and it's a close game, despite the defensive ineptitude.

[Fireball]

I actually bet Pringles is pretty pissed that they played and shot that well and it's only a 2-3 point game...

What do Pringles have to do with that?

[DPG21920]

For people not quite worried about Tim, in a game with 141 points and 60% shooting, Tim has the worst FG% out of anyone that has played. Only three players are less than 50% total.

This is against Turiaf.

[jestersmash]

Well... hopefully the Knickerbockers cool off before the Spurs do.

Interesting game.

Spurs zone defense seemed to affect the Knick offense for a little bit there.

The spurs are (overall) awful at zone, though, probably because they don't go to it that often in actual games.

I'd rather not have the game hinge on the spurs putting up a solid zone defense.

[Pauleta14]

No you are right, 72 pts in the first half and went on to win the game. I think they only allowed 37 in the second half.

:toast I wasn't sure...

I guess we'll see that in a few articles tomorrow comparing the spurs and Heat...

[ElNono]

What do Pringles have to do with that?

Really?

http://nbaprimetime.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/dantoni-pringles-REAL.bmp

[Capt Bringdown]

Nauseating 1st half. The nadir of Spurs ball? On the other hand, the Knicks have been unconscious.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Basketball is absolutely a game of adjustments. Pop will make them in the 2nd half and change the flow of the game... I hope. :oops

[Fireball]

For people not quite worried about Tim, in a game with 141 points and 60% shooting, Tim has the worst FG% out of anyone that has played. Only three players are less than 50% total.

This is against Turiaf.

Could you quit bashing Duncan every game. His stats over the last ten games are very good ... Spurs can win without him. And I think Turiaf is a good defender, otherwise he has no reason to be on an NBA team ...

[GSH]

I feel like the Knicks were red hot, and I don't feel like the Spurs did anything special. Unless D'Antoni switches gears, and the Knicks play better D, I think we've got this.

[DPG21920]

Holy Sh*t, Tim. 0 Rebounds and 20% shooting.

[itzsoweezee]

For people not quite worried about Tim, in a game with 141 points and 60% shooting, Tim has the worst FG% out of anyone that has played. Only three players are less than 50% total.

Who gives a shit? It doesn't matter as long as he plays good D.

[Fireball]

Really

:lol didn't know that one

[Gagnrath]

I almost want to see the scoring by both sides keep going just to see how close the record (370 combined nuggets vs pistons) they can get. Though I don't want to see it go to over time before Boston.

[maddnezz]

I'm in Ft. Worth - Spurs aren't shown here. :depressed Hey Bro sent you a private message.:king

[GSH]

That was a travel and a charge, and no call. Sucks to start the half.

[DPG21920]

Could you quit bashing Duncan every game. His stats over the last ten games are very good ... Spurs can win without him. And I think Turiaf is a good defender, otherwise he has no reason to be on an NBA team ...

Posting his actual stats is bashing him :lol

[Dex]

What do Pringles have to do with that?

Damn, too slow.

But apparently D'Antoni gets it too!

http://video.msg.com/Home/Coach-D-Photo-Finish-Fan-Comment-Reactions-11-4

[ElNono]

It's a tough game to rebound for the bigs. Lots of long ball and long rebounds too. Plus it's hard to rebound when the other team rarely misses.

[CFH]

Manu tresssssssssssssssss!

[DPG21920]

Who gives a shit? It doesn't matter as long as he plays good D.

72 points today.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great sig, WeNeedLength. :wow

[angelbelow]

Wow Turiaf, didn't expect that kind of offensive drive from him.

[CFH]

Parker!

[GSH]

Spurs are playing better D to start the half, AND the Knicks are bricking their jumpers. That works.

[CFH]

Blair putback

[DPG21920]

It's not bashing Tim to worry about him. When he puts up these games against inferior lines like he has done very often this season, it is worrisome to me.

I have posted Tim's advanced stats to argue for him. It's not a stats thing entirely. It is an "eye ball test" thing.

[loveforthegame]

Blair has been a beast tonight.

[CFH]

Timmy J

I tried that the last time the game was on NBA TV - and the feed was so crappy it was pretty much unwatchable.

[angelbelow]

Nice TD.. I think its important he makes those with regularity.

[ace3g]

not sure if Blair was going for glass on that jumper

[timtonymanu]

we cant get stops at all.

[CFH]

Ugh...

[timtonymanu]

terrible D still. Fucking turnover now.

[GSH]

Stupid foul by Manu. Give up the shot or the FT's, not an and-1.

[itzsoweezee]

Lol @ worry, you're not his mother. You're just bitching. First it was RJ, now it's Duncan. Get over it and stop complaining.

[Texas_Ranger]

:madrun

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Grizzly - please don't shoot jumpers! kthxbai

[Spurs Brazil]

I hate when Blair takes those long Js

[DPG21920]

Silly foul by Manu. You have to let him go there. Manu should know better, he isn't Brent Barry.

[WeNeedLength]

Great start to the 2nd half. I wonder when this defense will kick in................................................ .......

I remember saying to SFIE that I thought this would be a game they'd have to get ready for, a potential trap sort of game.

I think I was right. Sigh. Honestly, of the handful of game I've been able to watch, they've lost most of them. :(

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This game is too fast for Timmy. :(

[Banzai]

Not hating..but I wish Manu still had the long hair..he looked deadly lol. still is of course.

[Warlord23]

Points off turnovers: SA 5, NY 15.

[DPG21920]

Lol @ worry, you're not his mother. You're just bitching. First it was RJ, now it's Duncan. Get over it and stop complaining.

Postin' stats, girl. I have outlined my stance on Duncan. Quit with the over the top notice me as a poster antics.

[Fireball]

Posting his actual stats is bashing him :lol but you always worry and ask if someone else is worried about it ... its lame

You need league pass so you can watch the games any time you like! ;)

[GSH]

The Knicks came out and bricked some jumpers. I really wish we had put Amare on the line a couple of times, instead of letting him get into any kind of rhythm. He'll get the other guys going.

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair laying great, but that stupid shot started NY run

[Bartleby]

You need league pass so you can watch the games any time you like! ;)

Not when it's on NBA TV.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Now, now, children. Settle down and watch the game. :lmao

[DPG21920]

Not as lame as you *cheering* and bringing nothing of substance to the table. People are worried. It is not just me.

I don't bash Tim, but he is held accountable when he struggles. Just like everyone.

I refuse to post GNSF vanilla comments on the reg like yourself. Its lame.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Really? Okay. Int League Pass is different I guess.

[Danny.Zhu]

Down by 7...

WTF...

[GinobiliForTres]

Blair laying great, but that stupid shot started NY run

this game reminds me of the Clips game. after every timeout, i was hoping for a spurs run. never hapened.

First year since we moved into our house that we didn't get it. Because we didn't watch much last year, we figured we'd pick it up with it went half-off after the ASB. Because, and I quote an actual conversation word for word, "It's not like the Spurs ever fucking do anything worth watching in November and December anyway."

Yeah.

Joke's on me.

All things considered though, I may well be a bad luck charm. . .

[angelbelow]

Duncan schooling the entire Knicks team.

[janetcn12]

Go Spurs Go...

[Warlord23]

Yeah, let's keep going under every screen

[Dex]

Knicks back in frickin No Miss mode. Not a good sign.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Amar'''''''e has gone from irrelevant as a shot-blocker to about 2bpg in a year. Quite an amazing uptick.

[easjer]

Spurs looking tired and/or stupid. Sigh.

[itzsoweezee]

PUt in George Hill, Popovich.

[CFH]

Neal on the fastbreak

[ace3g]

Neal!!!

[Libri]

Neal showed some speed.

[Crookshanks]

Hey Bro sent you a private message.:king

Actually, I'm not a bro - but thanks anyway! This feed is pretty good.

[ShoogarBear]

When Gary Neal goes end-to-end, you know you aren't playing any transition D.

[angelbelow]

Neal continues to surprise me.. going coast to coast with defensive pressure and finishing. Nice!

[DPG21920]

I always wondered why he couldn't block shots. He was so athletic.

No-one I know saw this year coming. Don't feel too bad! :lol

[ace3g]

took Pop long enough to make some subs

"Read my posts" tbh.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Neal coast-to-coast!

[GSH]

You think Neal is that slow?

[GinobiliForTres]

Spurs looking tired and/or stupid. Sigh.

manu airball lol

[Russ]

I think the Spurs are gonna need some serious Gary Neal shooting to pull this out.

[JohnnySixString]

And the crappy defense continues.......





It looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue

:lol

[GSH]

Manu turning the ball over again. Totally unnecessary.

[Texas_Ranger]

lol Spurs

[timtonymanu]

why the fuck did everyone trip?

[ace3g]

Spurs knocking each other down??

[Crookshanks]

down to 2 - then bam - right back up to 6 :bang

[Libri]

TO :bang

[CFH]

Come on Timmy...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

It's gonna get ugly in Boston tomorrow.

[timtonymanu]

Ugh I hate it when Tim does that travel.

[Bartleby]

Stupid turnovers are killing the Spurs

[DPG21920]

Spurs need a strong end to this quarter. Keep it close then see if the 4th quarter magic can continue.

[GSH]

Now Tim with the turnover. Spurs losing some composure here. Rushing things and forcing shots that aren't there.

[CFH]

down to 2 - then bam - right back up to 6 :bang

Yup, keeps happening, frustrating...

[Bukefal]

:bang

[Dex]

Wouldn't be surprised if Pop says fuck it and goes to the zone.

[ShoogarBear]

You think Neal is that slow?

He isn't slow, but he's definitely not a one man fast break. Also, he almost always tries to give up the ball in the backcourt to another guard.

[Crookshanks]

Stupid turnovers are killing the Spurs

4 turnovers for the Knicks - 12 for the Spurs. Gonna be hard to win that way

[easjer]

There's a point at which I want to say, let it go and rest up for Boston tomorrow. I'd hate to see back to back losses and they don't appear to be interested in making it happen tonight.

[ohmwrecker]

Spurs are going to lose this game.

[timtonymanu]

This is ugly.

[Banzai]

You can just see the steam coming out of Pops ears.

[Fireball]

I just think with the Spurs being 29-4 I have every right to cheer and be positive. And I like vanilla ...

[DPG21920]

Tim is really struggling this game. On both ends. He will have to clean it up for the Spurs to make a run.

Lets see if small ball works.
