All-Star interviews on NBA TV now, repeating tonight. Kobe on now.

[duncan228]

Duncan on now.

Manu is on now

[duncan228]

Quick recap of Duncan's interview, if anyone else saw it please add or correct if I missed something. :)

He's tired, coming to LA off of RRT, not much sleep.

Happy with RRT results, even with it not ending well.

Great start for season starts with health of Big Three, experience, and includes guys like Blair 'finding their way'.

On Parker: Wishes he was here, deserves to be here. Top PG in league, knows what team/Pop wants, runs team great.

On Dice, Bonner, Blair: Each one brings something different, changes game to help Duncan/team. Bonner stretches floor, opens floor up for Parker and Manu. Dice: boards, defense. Blair: Never know what they'll get from him night-to-night. :lol Loves his effort.

[ElNono]

Good interviews with TD and Manu on NBA TV...

[DesignatedT]

ughh i wish i could watch these.

[duncan228]

[duncan228]

ughh i wish i could watch these.

You should be able to catch some stuff on line as the weekend goes on. I expect a Duncan All-Star Practice Media Availability video Saturday (maybe a Manu too, I don't remember if they just do starters), a general All-Star Practice East/West Saturday, and NBA Cares events possibly today and Saturday. Keep an eye on Spurs and NBA.com. I'll also post any Duncan video links in the Duncan All-Star thread in the Duncan Forum.

Hope that helps. :)

Great quote from Popovich on Justin Bieber in celeb game: "It would be disingenuous if I told you how excited I was to see Justin."

[spurs10]

Thank you duncan228! Glad we have those class act individuals representing the Spurs. Tony should be there, but I hope he's getting some rest. We are going to need him to take over the last 26 games and show the NBA what time it is...

Quotes from the interviews.


Spurs dismiss hot start as meaningless if they go cold now (http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/18/spurs-dismiss-hot-start-as-meaningless-if-they-go-cold-now/)
Kurt Helin

Gregg Popovich admitted he holds his breath every time Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili step off a curb.

Things have gone about as well as the Spurs could hope for this season — including them having the same starting five for 55 of the 56 games. They have won 46 of those and looked every bit the title contender they have not been the past few years. Popovich admitted health has helped, especially when he looks at what the Celtics and other teams have had to go through.

“I keep thinking it has to balance out,” Popovich half joked.

Health is only part of it. Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan echoed the company line during interviews — the wins are nice, home court is nice, but they games that really matter are just starting.

Ginobili wouldn’t even commit that they are contenders.

“Too early to tell,” Ginobili said. “Usually in the year’s we’ve won, we’ve been great in March and April. That’s when we build out confidence and finish taking playoff shape. So far we’ve been the best in the beginning of the season, again, it’s not enough.”

Popovich called the Lakers the best in the West and said that the team needs to come out and play the second half of the season with the energy they did the first. Ginobili agreed the game is going to get more challenging.

“It is going to be hard, because we have a bulls-eye on the back now,” Ginobili said. “We are leading the NBA. Same with the Lakers or Celtics, everybody wants to beat you. They want to test themselves against the best in the league, so it’s going to be harder to maintain.

“But we don’t want had one of the great first half of the season. We want to complete it. We want to complete it, we want to win the championship.”

[duncan228]

TD looks tired

Exhausted. Really hope he finds some rest. Besides the game there's the media, adidas and NBA Cares stuff. Busy weekend on top of the RRT. Glad they don't play til Wednesday, at least there's a couple of days home after all that.

[timtonymanu]

So who are Spurs fans rooting for? Rookie or Sophomores?

IMO, I would go for the Sophs so Blair can get the MVP he deserved last year.

[ace3g]

I'm hoping Blair goes into Beast mode early, he is probably upset with how he played last night

[lefty]

Coach Bud !!!

Beast !!!!


Choochoo !!!!!

[jimo2305]

over/under rookie game:

Blair: 15 rebs?

[carina_gino20]

[jimo2305]

so are our spurs players the only 2 particiapants on the same team to start in this rookie v. soph game?

[Spurologist]

Neal's shooting form is as deadly as they come. Did anyone really think he'd miss that.

The Sophomores were unprepared so they had to Neal with it!

[lefty]

so are our spurs players the only 2 particiapants on the same team to start in this rookie v. soph game?

It's weird watching them on opposite teams

[lefty]

Ya know what, it actually didnt look to bad on'em! http://db.funformobile.com/images/smiles/clap.gif

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Blair still had the Best Dunk Of The Game by far.

I can't believe he flushed that self-off-tha-glass. Thought for sure it was a blown dunk and he made it.

Amazing performance by Blair and Neal.

BTW they were not passing it to Neal for shit. Not at all. When he had the ball in his hands in the 1st half, he shot it cuz he wasn't involved on any of the few passes. And in the early 2nd half, he was actually the PG. Pretty cool.

[jimo2305]

over/under rookie game:

Blair: 15 rebs?

Neal: 4 3pointers?

i was right about blair :p

[timtonymanu]

Something a little off topic, but did anyone see espn's all star page? according to them, Blair was the 2nd pick in the 2009 NBA draft. Scroll down and you'll see it.

http://espn.go.com/nba/allstargame

[DMC]

They realize that there are two 1st overall picks on the rookie team (seemingly impossible) and zero 1st overall picks on the sophomore team.

In fact, just look at the talent on the sophomore team. Lots of hidden talent out there, as indicated by their positions in the draft.

[Man In Black]

What's in the black case, is that the ring? Notice how Timmy is curling is toes on his left foot because he doesn't want an uncomfortable Man on Manu moment with their feet. :D

Either way nice Pelican cases.

The vid won't link properly but the case holds their special edition headphones for the All-Star Game. Okay it's playing now you see it in the beginning.

Because Jones is a good shooter and Allen is the obvious pick

But too obvious...

With adults, Spurs don’t need rules (http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2011/02/18/with-adults-spurs-dont-need-rules/)
Steve Aschburner
NBA.com Hang Time Blog

LOS ANGELES – If you draft, sign and employ adults, you short-circuit a lot of potential problems in pro sports. That’s the approach taken by the San Antonio Spurs, as coach Gregg Popovich reminded reporters Friday.

Asked about his team’s “rules” regarding card games and minor gambling between players on team flights – a recipe for trouble that reared its head again this season when Memphis’ Tony Allen and O.J. Mayo had an ugly altercation over an unpaid debt – Popovich scoffed at the notion.

Not at in-flight fisticuffs. At the idea of such rules.

“We have basically no rules,” said Popovich, coach of the West All-Stars Sunday. “If I gave my team rules, they’d be offended. For the last 15 years, they’ve conducted themselves in an exemplary manner, and I wouldn’t humiliate them by making them believe I had to give them rules like they were children.”

MJ is the lowest at 5

[Texas_Ranger]

lol KD

[ffadicted]

soooo awwwwful

[siraulo23]

lmao durant 6 points

this 3 point contest gets worse every year

[ace3g]

I love the way my week is going , and it has transferred to my predictions, I told my friend that Durant was going to miss all of his shots except for like 2-3

so now my pick Derozan is going to miss all of his dunks

[slick'81]

lucky suck pierce

[siraulo23]

clutch pierce

[Spurologist]

Damn....Durant.

[Warlord23]

BS 3-point shooting contest so far. That's what they get for picking Boobie Gibson and a streaky scorer (who's not a shooter) in Durant

[awktalk]

Allen's got this easy.

[DesignatedT]

lets go jones. i got your ass 6/1 odds

[awktalk]

lets go jones. i got your ass 6/1 odds

:lol I put $5 on Ibaka @ 11/1 for the dunk contest.

[lefty]

lets go jones. i got your ass 6/1 odds
I picked Jones too

So far he has a shot

But damn, Ray is en fuego tonight

[BoricuaCJA]

Im happy those 3 players made it to the finals. I want Allen to win b/c his jumper is sexy.

[lefty]

Well, fuck you Pierce

[lefty]

Fuck Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees !!!!!




Please choke, Ray !!!!

[Spurologist]

uh OH!

James Jones' got it on lock sons

[siraulo23]

jones got it

[lefty]

I told you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooo !!!!!!

Fuck yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaah

[Spurologist]

Fuck Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees !!!!!




Please choke, Ray !!!!

:toast

I will eat my crow now

[BoricuaCJA]

Ray rushed his shots on the first 2 racks.

[BoricuaCJA]

Nice job Jones!

[lefty]

:toast

I will eat my crow now
Please do :toast:lol

[Mr. Body]

I'm pretty sure Gary Neal would have beat most of these guys.

[Libri]

I told you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooo !!!!!!

Fuck yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaah

If only he had done that when he was on my fantasy team. :/

[DesignatedT]

boom! there it is. there you go jones.

[lefty]

If only he had done that when he was on my fantasy team. :/
Yeah some players shoot better at the 3 pt contest

Then you great in-game shooters who fail in the event

[DesignatedT]

I'm not even going to bother with the dunk contest. Blake's got it

[lefty]

Ok, now Derozan, you have to bail me out

But I have the feeling the judges will suck Blake's dick

[DesignatedT]

yep. the crowd behind griffin. shit is retarded. blake will win.

just like the bullshit dunk howard pulled out. dude didn't do shit but put on a cape and throw the ball in, but the crowd went nuts.

[awktalk]

boom! there it is. there you go jones.

How much you win, DT?

[lefty]

That shit was overrated and annoying

Or Josh Smith wearing a Dominique jersey

[DesignatedT]

How much you win, DT?

I just bet this shit for fun on sportsbook.com. $20 bucks 6/1 odds on jones. I also bet CP3 in the skills challenge but lost that one.

I think im gunna lay off on the dunk though, i've learned my lesson with this one.

[Spurologist]

Didn't Cwebb say he saw some practice dunks that he's never seen before? Should be interesting if anything....as long as we don't get another Birdman '05 performance

[slick'81]

derozan is nasty but i cant go against blake

[lefty]

Didn't Cwebb say he saw some practice dunks that he's never seen before? Should be interesting if anything....as long as we don't another Birdman '05 performance
Longest dunk contest ever

[024]

3 pt contest was disappointing. bonner would have been a much better choice over durant.

[DesignatedT]

That shit was overrated and annoying

Or Josh Smith wearing a Dominique jersey

Exactly. the judges just hold up 10s and shit the whole time.

[lefty]

derozan is nasty but i cant go against blake
I picked Demar

But Blake will win because of the hype

[DesignatedT]

I thought Javale Magee would be a good option to bet until Barkely started talking about the guy. Now I know he's not going to win.

:lol

[awktalk]

It's a popularity contest. If Griffin doesn't win, it is only because he fucks something up quite badly.

[Obstructed_View]

What did we learn from the three point contest? Nothing new:

Paul Pierce is clutch, Ray Allen is not.

A three point shooter is probably going to win over non three point shooters.

The NBA will do nearly anything to ensure that Miami or Boston wins.

[Spurologist]

Mcgee has about a 10 mile wingspan...a lot of potential there
