Richard Jefferson on Gregg Popovich's decisions :


“If anybody would like to question a man that has four championships, feel free. I’m not.”




:flag::flag::flag:

[greyforest]

RJ's shirt...nice try!! Haha.

Pop's unique in how strict he is. I'd be curious to know just how strict he is compared to other coaches in the league.

It's pretty obvious that egomaniacs like Kobe and LeBron get away with a lot of shit. I also wonder if Pop could theoretically ever get them under control if they were on his team.

[Texas_Ranger]

Oh no, Beno is coming!

[TD21-FTW]

Oh no, Beno is coming!

[TampaDude]

Easy win...NEXT!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[BuzzerBeater]

Good for tune up. GH3, Blair will express-lube the Kings, RRocket will teach Splitter how to play way over his head, Dice will teach Pop how to expand on his smiling, good all the way around. Then again, Heat Beat Fakers, it is an NBA team out there, kill em!!!

[daslicer]

Should be an easy win as long as the spurs come out focused.

[ajballer4]

Beno is gonna have a career game

What's the over/under on the number of impure thoughts Angel Luv will have watching this one?

[Mel_13]

Beno Udrih (illness) isn't traveling with the Kings for Friday's game at San Antonio.

That means that we won't see another blowout victory over the Kings :lol

[duncan228]

? Conflicting info...


Beno expected back in Sacramento’s starting lineup (http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/2011/03/11/beno-expected-back-in-sacramentos-starting-lineup/)
Tim Griffin

Starting Sacramento point guard Beno Udrih is listed as probable for tonight’s game against the Spurs after missing the Kings’ loss Wednesday night against Orlando with the flu.

http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/2011/03/11/beno-expected-back-in-sacramentos-starting-lineup/

[Mugen]

i expect to see a lot of Tiago tonight since played very well against Sac last time.

but Pop has fooled me many times this season so who knows.

[Budkin]

They need to use this game and tomorrow's game to warm up for a tough week ahead. @Miami and @Dallas. Actually the Houston game is going to be tough too as they're 7-3 in their last 10 and it's on the road.

[Dex]

All about positioning now that we're down to the home stretch. Gotta take care of the easy ones, and win a few of the hard ones, and Spurs should be a lock for HCA in the playoffs.

Richard Jefferson (personal business) is out tonight vs. SAC. Expected to rejoin the team tomorrow in Houston. #spurs

[PDXSpursFan]

Trap game :rolleyes

Seriously, Cousins is being playing good, but I'm sure the Spurs know that :ihit

[Mugen]

http://twitter.com/#!/JMcDonald_SAEN (http://twitter.com/#%21/JMcDonald_SAEN)

Hopefully JA gets the start. Hope everything with RJ is good.

[Holden_Caulfield]

george hill better get out of his funk tonight. sine were shuffling, splitter should start.

[Budkin]

http://twitter.com/#!/JMcDonald_SAEN

RJ has been sucking lately so hopefully this is not much of a factor.

[timtonymanu]

Hopefully JA gets the start. Hope everything with RJ is good.

Pop will most likely go with: McDyess Duncan Manu Hill Parker

[ace3g]

Surprise, surprise: Richard Jefferson's replacement in the starting lineup tonight will be .... rookie James Anderson. 1st career start.

[duncan228]

Spurs call!

[timtonymanu]

Marcus Thornton = Ben Gordon?

[Death In June]

Since ATDHE isn't working at the moment, anyone want to PM me a game link?

[Spurologist]

Thornton is a balla...gotta watch him

[Spurologist]

aaaannnnnddddeeerrrrrssssooonnnnn 33333333333333

[Warlord23]

Anderson showing some confidence

[BanditHiro]

ouch what a joke we are at rebounding

[timtonymanu]

Rebounds again a problem

[timtonymanu]

too sloppy

[BanditHiro]

our offense is just garbage right now

[Warlord23]

Same old story ... turnovers and rebounding

[Nathan89]

Looks like dice is the new starter. Guess it wasn't just a one game thing.

[Holden_Caulfield]

parker getting owned. lol.

[JohnnySixString]

This is normal.

[Spurologist]

Same old story ... turnovers and rebounding

turnovers are not the same old story....we are at least top 10 in the league in protecting the ball.

rebounding = :pctoss

[Tp9gospursgo]

I want Splitter to start!!

[roycrikside]

Tony has started the game like ass. Is it against the rules for him to pass the fucking ball?

[Spurs Brazil]

not a good start, but I think we'll see a run after the timeout

[Holden_Caulfield]

ginobili dunk fail.

[BanditHiro]

wtf this is riddikulus

[JohnnySixString]

Tony has started the game like ass. Is it against the rules for him to pass the fucking ball?

Like this is something new he's doing? lol

[Tp9gospursgo]

Manu!!!

[Death In June]

Save the offense, Neal.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Anyone know whats up with the Spurs.com tv companion?

[Spurologist]

BLAIR!!!!

interesting to see how he handles the bench role

[Warlord23]

turnovers are not the same old story....we are at least top 10 in the league in protecting the ball.

rebounding = :pctoss

Well technically we are number 11 in the league in rebound differential, but we all know how it has been recently. We do turn it over a lot, but some of it is not recorded as such - for instance, the 2 times Head stripped Parker in the lane have been categorized as blocks rather than steals.

[BanditHiro]

kobe-esqe three

[8FOR!3]

Ginobili looks very into the game. Thinking quickly

[Tp9gospursgo]

Manu to blair!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs 9-0 run

[8FOR!3]

Spurs starting to play a little better. Defense is solid I'll take 20 points for the other team in a q.

[JohnnySixString]

Hell, at least they managed a 2 pt lead.

[Spurologist]

tp has played a lot better than the boxscore might indicate...he's been aggressive from the opening tip. He's been cleanly stripped twice while driving to the lane and missed some gimme layups. I'll take it because those shots will start falling

[Spurs Brazil]

good finish after a very bad start

[Holden_Caulfield]

besides neal, what has happened to our bench.

[timtonymanu]

WTF this scrub team decided to show up today.

[Cessation]

bonner + blair = leyup drill on d

[Warlord23]

Blair getting owned in the paint, and the Kings getting layups at the other end

[timtonymanu]

Wow these scrubs decided to play

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair and Hill playing bad

[timtonymanu]

The bench is ass outside of Neal.

[BoricuaCJA]

Nice Hill, being aggressive there.

[WeNeedLength]

Who is this Taylor guy? Making us look like fools.

[Death In June]

Stating the obvious, but the Blair / Bonner combo is a bad idea.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol that was funny.

[8FOR!3]

Who is this Taylor guy? Making us look like fools.

Jermaine Taylor. I think he got drafted by Houston. Dude can jump. That's all I know about him. He's a short 2 guard though. 6'4-6'5.

[Mugen]

lemme beat this dead horse again and say that the spurs will be in a lot of trouble in the playoffs if Blair/Bonner are seeing heavy minutes on the floor together.

and by heavy, i mean anything about 2mins for the entire game. rebounding/interior defense is non-existent when they are both in the game.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Who is this Taylor guy? Making us look like fools.

chucker, like Thornton

[Brazil]

Who is this Taylor guy? Making us look like fools.

:wow you don't know the great Jermaine Taylor ?? holy cow

[timtonymanu]

Yep unfortunately we're stuck with these two playing together. Fuckin Splitter and his preseason injury.

[Holden_Caulfield]

i wanna watch elevate

[Crookshanks]

NBA.com still says the score is 0-0. Must be having technical problems.

[Brazil]

speaking about great well known player Pooh Jeter :lmao

[Brazil]

wow boston -5 against phily 13 sec to go

[JohnnySixString]

I'm not surprised they're playing like this, again. It's normal,lol.

[Spurologist]

Anytime Taylor, Thompson, or Jeter want to come back to earth would be a welcome sight.....I'm waiting

[Brazil]

Pooh 4 min 7 pts 3-3 :lol

[Budkin]

NBA.com still says the score is 0-0. Must be having technical problems.

Try espn.com

[Holden_Caulfield]

jeter, jason, jermaine...owning the spurs. lol.

[Warlord23]

The defense is embarrassing sometimes. Kings are one of the worst offensive teams in the conference, but you wouldn't know it based on this game

[timtonymanu]

The energy is too dead. Manu is the only one that decided to show up.

[Crookshanks]

This scrub team is playing pretty good right now, but they're not talented enough to play like this for 48 minutes - so the Spurs will easily win this game.

[Obstructed_View]

NBA.com still says the score is 0-0. Must be having technical problems.

Yeah, isn't showing the game has started yet. Bitches.

[Obstructed_View]

Try espn.com

The new gamecast sucks.

[Warlord23]

We look best when we create turnovers and run out on the fast break. The problem is that against good teams, we won't get too many opportunities to run and will need to score in the half-court against a set defense.

[Brazil]

The energy is too dead. Manu is the only one that decided to show up.

maybe you missed TP

[Obstructed_View]

NBA.com's thing is up, but it says it's 11-6 in the first quarter.

[timtonymanu]

Boston lost again. Need to win this now.

[Crookshanks]

Yeah, isn't showing the game has started yet. Bitches.

I'm watching League Pass broadband and there's no problem - but I came in a little late and thought the game hadn't started yet because nba.com said the score was 0-0.

[Budkin]

The defense is embarrassing sometimes. Kings are one of the worst offensive teams in the conference, but you wouldn't know it based on this game

Seriously... it's so sad to see our defense evaporate from years past. The thought of having to rely on offense in the Playoffs is just frightening.

[Obstructed_View]

We look best when we create turnovers and run out on the fast break. The problem is that against good teams, we won't get too many opportunities to run and will need to score in the half-court against a set defense.

The Spurs looked best when they played 48 minutes, which they did through almost the entire season to the all-star break. I don't think they've put together a complete game in a couple of weeks.

[Spurs Brazil]

76ers just beat the Celtics

[Fireball]

This scrub team is playing pretty good right now, but they're not talented enough to play like this for 48 minutes - so the Spurs will easily win this game.

Sean Elliott said it right ... in the beginning of the season we had no problems against bad teams, but at this point of the season these teams know they have nothing to lose and play more freely ... still our defense sucks

[Holden_Caulfield]

hill coming alive!!

[Obstructed_View]

I'm watching League Pass broadband and there's no problem - but I came in a little late and thought the game hadn't started yet because nba.com said the score was 0-0.

I just use the TV companion because I got no monay. Still 11-6.

[Spurs Brazil]

fantastic pass Manu

[Tp9gospursgo]

Is that another bat!!

[Obstructed_View]

Oh no, another bat.

[Budkin]

hill coming alive!!

We need him... when he plays well we are tough to beat.

[Warlord23]

Another bat in the arena ... time for Manu to do his thing

[Spurologist]

time for batman to come into action again

[Reck]

What's the score?

NBA.com is pussying around with the score.

Lazy bastards.

[timtonymanu]

The bat must like watching Spurs Kings game

[Budkin]

Is that another bat!!

You know who to call!!!

[Holden_Caulfield]

peta is gonna go insane.

[Spurologist]

"The bat wanted budweiser"

:lmao

Bat and Kings again...WTF

[Obstructed_View]

41-40 Spurs 3:40 to go in the second.

[Crookshanks]

Manu goes all freaky - and Dracula shows up! :lol :lol Sean is too funny!

[Reck]

41-40 Spurs 3:40 to go in the second.

Thanks thanks.

[Spurologist]

:lmao @ manu's reaction to the bat = :nope

[Holden_Caulfield]

lol. coyote wearing a batman suit.

[Spurs Brazil]

:lol Coyote

[timtonymanu]

LMAO Manu doesnt want those shots again

[ajballer4]

Lol. What kind of person brings bats to games vs the Kings

[Brazil]

What's the score?

NBA.com is pussying around with the score.

Lazy bastards.

I use cbs box score works well

[Obstructed_View]

Cassipi layup, Duncan layup. Spurs still up by 3.

[Obstructed_View]

Is Jeter's name really pronounced Jetter?

[Warlord23]

Neal is money from mid-range

[Obstructed_View]

Gary Neal jumper, Spurs up by 5. 90 seconds to go. Jeter with a jumper, 47-44.

[WeNeedLength]

What a bullshit call.

[Spursnlego]

Manus' reaction was priceless!:lol

[Obstructed_View]

Bonner foul, Spurs by one, Manu with a three.

[Spurologist]

mmmmmaaaaannnnuuuuu 3333333333333

[timtonymanu]

How the fuck was that an and-1 too? Terrible calls.

[Brazil]

I'm watching in parallel atlanta / chicago and I envy chicago D, these guys are playing great great D...

[Obstructed_View]

Manu free throws, halftime, Spurs 52, Sac 46.

[Spurologist]

nice run to end the quarter

[Warlord23]

Better showing on D to end the half, but the Kings bigs have a decided advantage in the paint

[Capt Bringdown]

I use cbs box score works well

Good call. I forgot about sportsline, good site.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 6 at the half

[Capt Bringdown]

...but the Kings bigs have a decided advantage in the paint

Gulp!

[Fireball]

What a bullshit call.

as bad as when Blair tried to dunk it ... fouled across the whole arm and they call it a block :ihit

[Brazil]

rose is tearing apart atlanta

[Osnofa]

Could be better but at least it was a good 1st half finish. Lets break this thing open in the 3rd.

And I want to see Splitter :(

[Spurologist]

Does Derek Jeter have the pronunciation of his name patented?

[Budkin]

We need to put this game away in the 3rd so the guys can rest up for Houston tomorrow.

[LakerHater]

Wasnt a bat at a Kings game too?

[Holden_Caulfield]

can new jersey catch the 8th seed?? only 5 games behind

[Creation88]

what's up with the rebounds again. ugh.

[jimo2305]

lol i love this timmy vs sean rivalry

[Fireball]

We need to put this game away in the 3rd so the guys can rest up for Houston tomorrow.

IMO only Manu is playing anyway ... Tim and Dice already rest while being in the game

[Warlord23]

Parker has been pretty mediocre in the paint in this game

[WeNeedLength]

Luther Head throwing up some bullshit.... WTF is wrong with our defense...

[timtonymanu]

too many turnovers

[Holden_Caulfield]

i miss the days where we usually allow under 90pts per game

[Warlord23]

WTF is Manu doing throwing the ball at the ref? :lol

[it's me]

lol manu WTF

[Mugen]

i think Timmy was holding his knee on the bench.

[timtonymanu]

The Spurs have played 2 mediocre games against these scrub teams since the Lakers embarrassment.

[Spurologist]

manu trying to get everybody involved...nothing new here

[Warlord23]

This is the type of game that showcases all our weaknesses, although we'll still win in the end. And then the TParks of this forum will point to our 53-12 record and Pop's 4 rings when someone brings up any of the aforementioned weaknesses.

[4>0rings]

:facepalm

[Spurs Brazil]

TOs, boards and bad D today. Spurs need to wake up

[timtonymanu]

ugh another turnover. Spurs dont want this game apparently.

[Spurologist]

Buck Fonner D

[Spurs Brazil]

Thompson is killing Bonner

[Warlord23]

Blair/Bonner against Cousins/Thompson is getting hard to watch

[Spurologist]

horrible decision there by tp.....going into iso mode with Neal WIDE OPEN

[Capt Bringdown]

Terrible possession by Parker

[Osnofa]

[timtonymanu]

WTF get your shit together

[roycrikside]

Parker is in ballhog mode again. I don't know why he gets like this sometimes. Is he trying to win the team's scoring title?

[Capt Bringdown]

I wanna see some Neal with it.

[Spurologist]

tttttttttttpppppppppppp 33333333333333333

[Juggity]

There we go, now we're in a rhythm

[Warlord23]

Parker has improved from 3, needs to use it more often

[jimo2305]

lol spurs make a big play.. and pop rips into them during the timeout hahaha

[Warlord23]

Btw, how often do you see Bonner penetrating, leaving his feet and throwing a pass to TP who drains the 3? Complete role reversal there

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony 333333333333333333333333333333333

[Osnofa]

Bonner >>>> Parker

in PG scale

[Cane]

Don't ignore Neal :ihit :hat

[NealwithIt]

Neal with it biiiiiiiiitchaaaaaaaaaaass

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop is ultra mad now

[Borosai]

Bonner breaking down the Kings.

[NealwithIt]

Pop needs to take a chill pill. And neal with it

[Fireball]

i think Timmy was holding his knee on the bench.

i thought I already saw something like that at the end of the first half ... would explain why he is not in the game mentally as well

[NealwithIt]

threeeeeeeeeeesoooooooooooomes

ttttttttttpppppppppp 33333333333333333

Parker is becoming a 3 pt threat.

[Juggity]

Casspi...wtf, who is this scrub?

[NealwithIt]

toooooooooonyyyyyyy

[Spurologist]

tp getting stripped at will in the paint

[Capt Bringdown]

Great scoring quarter from Tony, but it's frustrating to see him freeze out Neal who was wide open time and time again.

[Spurs Brazil]

A LOT of TOs in the 3rd

[Warlord23]

8 turnovers in that quarter ... smh these guys just don't give a damn

[Borosai]

Neal was WIDE open.

[Spursnlego]

Turnovers again:bang

[NealwithIt]

blair is the man

[roycrikside]

Interesting quarter for Parker. 7 FGA, 4 turnovers. Maybe if he thinks he turns it over on every pass attempt, Pop won't ask him to pass anymore.

[Cessation]

spurs playing like shit, i dunno about this dice in starting lineup situation

[timtonymanu]

Need to put up a consistent 4th here. The effort this game should be a lot better right now.

[NealwithIt]

woooooooo who was that?

[TDfan2007]

I love Anderson's court vision.

Neal saying fuck it, you don't pass to me I'll just score myself.

Gotta love a scrub like Casspi killing us.

[Spurs Brazil]

micro ball

[timtonymanu]

Fuck off Casspi.

[Holden_Caulfield]

put in splitter!!!

[TDfan2007]

spurs playing like shit, i dunno about this dice in starting lineup situation

It's an effort thing, not a lineup thing. Our guys are playing like it's the ASG.

[Budkin]

We seriously can't bring the hammer down on one of the worst teams in the league, missing two of their best players, at home?? Ridiculous.

[roycrikside]

Manu first shot attempt of 2nd half: 10:00 left in 4th. That's some good coaching.

[TDfan2007]

Blair playing great D on Cousins. Anderson with a crazy shot then bailout foul.

[TDfan2007]

Pop needs to bring Tim back in. He's been out for about 10 minutes of game time. This shit kills a guy's rhythm.

[Spurs Brazil]

This lineup is horrible on D. Kings scores or go to the line

[Spurologist]

Anderson, Hill, Manu, Blair and Neal

ultra microball

[NealwithIt]

manu pissed

[NealwithIt]

this is a mess

[JohnnySixString]

The Spurs are showing why they have the best record in the .... wait, wha....?

[roycrikside]

Fucking Parker's ballhoggery is contagious. Nobody wants to pass the ball. We're like a slow imitation of the Miami Heat, everybody is just standing and dribbling with it.

[Cessation]

hope dice still has some left in the tank, he's moving like a slug out there

[Brazil]

at least they are not killing us rebounding wise

[TDfan2007]

I'm so glad I didn't waste my money/time going to this game. This team has been playing very uninspired ball lately. First LA, then Detroit, now this. You'd think getting spanked by the Lakers would light a fire under their asses...

[duncan228]

Duncan seems to be moving okay on the side.

[Warlord23]

If this is an effort thing for the Spurs, which game are they planning to show up and compete? The next 3 games are on the road vs Houston, Miami and Dallas. At what point do we shift the blame from effort to strategy/execution?

[LakerHater]

manu pissed

I'd say they played pretty inspired in Detroit - they shot 80% in the 1st half of that game! And they made their first 14 shots - not too shabby.

[Juggity]

Jesus christ tie game

[Cessation]

lol at the guy with "relax gringo im legal" shirt

[timtonymanu]

Casspi is annoying.

[TDfan2007]

at least they are not killing us rebounding wise

This is true.

[Spurologist]

J. Taylor PPG: 6.8
Today so far: 12

[Crookshanks]

Geez - this Kings team just won't go away. It seems they always get up for playing the Spurs - if the Kings played like this all the time, maybe they wouldn't have such a crappy record!

[timtonymanu]

Come on Spurs. Don't throw away this fucking game.

[Brazil]

lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

casspi and garcia have some of the quickest releases...

[Spurs Brazil]

Anderson MIA on both ends, Blair stupid foul, awful lineup. This are going really bad

[TDfan2007]

I'd say they played pretty inspired in Detroit - they shot 80% in the 1st half of that game! And they made their first 14 shots - not too shabby.

Good shooting != playing hard and inspired

[Holden_Caulfield]

lol. we. are. tied.

[ffadicted]

Just came back home from Battle: LA (awesome movie btw), can someone tell me why the fuck its 85 - 85 at home against the goddamn Kings?

[Warlord23]

Geez - this Kings team just won't go away. It seems they always get up for playing the Spurs - if the Kings played like this all the time, maybe they wouldn't have such a crappy record!

I'd reverse that and say - if the Spurs played like this all the time, they wouldn't be the top seed
