Game Blog: Spurs @ Nets - Feb. 11

[BillMc]

We are amazingly deep.

[Spurs Brazil]

:lol Bonner

[timtonymanu]

Alright now, close it out.

[rasho8]

Dammit Splitter why did you score so easy.... Now Pop is going to bench your ass....

This is so true it's sad. :depressed

[urunobili]

let's rest TP...

[Warlord23]

Why? He's having b2b stellar games.

He's learning on the job - not doing too badly overall, but still makes the occasional mistake. The second unit right now can be flat out dominant with Ford running the show.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD 13pts 10rebs 5asts

[DesignatedT]

I'd let Manu come in and play 4 or 5 minutes this quarter. Just sit Duncan. Parker can play a few minutes.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Agreed, but only in spurts. In my oipinion Pop is letting him in the game just abit too long.


14 minutes? This is the Nets, perfect game to get some of that rust off.

[Paranoid Pop]

We are amazingly deep.

That's good for the regular season, but come playoff time that won't matter that much if you can't have a dominant starting 5.

[Barfunk]

Spurs are damn lucky those 3s are not falling or they'd be down by 50 by now.

They are up 18 right now, so maybe more like a much closer game.

[jestersmash]

Agreed, but only in spurts. In my oipinion Pop is letting him in the game just abit too long.

He's played 13 minutes and taken only 4 shots so far (2-4), not to mention he has 4 assists to a single turnover.

You're pretty much wrong on all accounts.

[Barfunk]

Plus we are shooting poor from 3 as well....

[Spurs Brazil]

that was a travel

[mystargtr34]

:lol Bonners defense on Brooks.

[Barfunk]

so they are lucky as well we are not shooting just a little better from 3 or else we would be up 30

[Capt Bringdown]

check that, our transition D needs work

[Tp9gospursgo]

Why doesn't Tiago get more minutes? He should start with Duncan

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Splitter playing MUCH better this half

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Anderson time. come on anderson!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony and Tiago are great together

[Capt Bringdown]

Splitter tied with Parker, +14

[Mal]

Splitter is so great. Great hands, great mobility.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Love that PnR with Parker and Splitter

[Paranoid Pop]

so they are lucky as well we are not shooting just a little better from 3 or else we would be up 30

That would make it a fool's gold win, so better not do that.

[timtonymanu]

Such a dead ass crowd.

[timtonymanu]

Dumb play Anderson!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Man, Splitter never misses that

[Paranoid Pop]

Leonard will be a monster at some point.

[timtonymanu]

lol you wanna play for Pop, you gotta play D.

Bonner, Blair, Neal, and Jefferson say otherwise.

[Spurs Brazil]

Leonard playing very solid defense today

[doldrums]

Such a dead ass crowd.

that's why they are moving to Brooklyn

[timvp]

Parker, Splitter and Bonner on the court at the same time = pick-and-roll heaven

[Paranoid Pop]

lol you wanna play for Pop, you gotta play D.

Bonner, Blair, Neal, and Jefferson say otherwise.

Neal is improving a lot and is quite good at drawing charges. Bonner is playing better on both ends too.

[smrattler]

I can only name 6 current head coaches that are former spurs players: Avery, Doc Rivers, George Karl, Vinny Del Negro, Monty Williams, Tyron Corbin,

[jestersmash]

That last play lends credence to the fact that Tiago-Bonner (as a two big man combination) yields one of the highest points scored per 100 possessions - points allowed per 100 possessions differential.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice play! Tiago to Manu

[smrattler]

I can only name 6 current head coaches that are former spurs players: Avery, Doc Rivers, George Karl, Vinny Del Negro, Monty Williams, Tyron Corbin,

D;Antoni... that's 7. One more?

[GB20]

neal is getting better game by game

[timtonymanu]

Manu looks pretty damn good to me.

[Paranoid Pop]

Like that by Anderson.

[GB20]

james can jump!!:wow

[Capt Bringdown]

Splitter - a much more talented and versatile version of Oberto

[Juggity]

Good timing, good putback.

[smrattler]

D;Antoni... that's 7. One more?


Keith Smart played 2 games?????? That should not count!

[timvp]

Pop makes me nervous with these let-Manu-play-in-meaningless-moments-to-get-him-in-shape minutes. Last time he did this, Manu's elbow imploded.

[Juggity]

In other news, Jeremy Lin is looking a little Kobe-ish tonight, shooting 8-21 so far with 19 points

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Ugggghhhhh Blair

[Barfunk]

Splitter is great at drawing fouls.... Smart player

[Reck]

Too many scrubs on the court for the Spurs.

[Mal]

I think it is pathetic. Go -20, and then leave starters to play vs deep bench, only to make it -10, and call it a game.

[GSH]

Pop makes me nervous with these let-Manu-play-in-meaningless-moments-to-get-him-in-shape minutes. Last time he did this, Manu's elbow imploded.


Yeah, not being superstitious but Manu has enough minutes for the first night back. Nothing gained by over-doing it.

[Mal]

Yeah, make those stats

[rasho8]

I think it is pathetic. Go -20, and then leave starters to play vs deep bench, only to make it -10, and call it a game.

Our bench is beating them. Besides Avery did this in Dallas all the time.

[timtonymanu]

Too many scrubs on the court for the Spurs.

I wouldn't call Neal and Splitter scrubs. And no shit, why ride the starters in a game like this?

[Rummpd]

Neal with it.....

[timtonymanu]

Neal's been killing it lately.

[GB20]

to me anderson is a better player than green

[rasho8]

Chaps should just start raining 3s to try to jack up the score to say "Fuck you Avery."

[Mal]

Neal with it ,

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal 33333333333333

[spursparker9]

Neal should be in the rookie sophomore game

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Neal's shooting is definitely back

[Barfunk]

Never was worried about Neal

[Tp9gospursgo]

Neal with it

[Reck]

Game.Set.Match

My prediction was dead on. Double digit win.

Then again it doesn't take a genious to know Nets will get rung.

[Capt Bringdown]

Neal 8 for 10, zoinks!

[timtonymanu]

Neal should be in the rookie sophomore game

Definitely. Lol Fields and Hayward.

[Ditty]

to me anderson is a better player than green

+1

I want Anderson back in the rotation.

[Paranoid Pop]

Lol Blair, worst player on the court.

[maverick1948]

Avery has no bench too many injuries.

How about Leonard's defense in the 4th. He has worked on DWill. Done a good solid job.

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair never learn...

[urunobili]

DeTrash Blair!

[Reck]

Is Blair really trying to be the play maker? Hahah

[GB20]

blair should be in the d league

[Rummpd]

Joseph cannot shoot...

[Capt Bringdown]

I know this is only garbage time, but you can certainly see how Splitter's presence opens things up for our 3pt shooters.

[ffadicted]

+1

I want Anderson back in the rotation.

Our wing is so deep it's crazy, hard to find minutes for everyone, especially now with Manu. Good problem to have though

[rasho8]

Blair wanted to at least outscore Splitter

[Rummpd]

6 Spurs in double figures - nice road win over a bad team that nevertheless wanted a win.

[smrattler]

Nice boring game, just like I wanted.

Next.

[timtonymanu]

Our wing is so deep it's crazy, hard to find minutes for everyone, especially now with Manu. Good problem to have though

Definitely. Our wings have evolved from playing scrubs like Udoka, Bogans, Finley, and Mason to this current crop.

[timvp]

Damn, that one fan really wanted to high five TD.

[Chachachango]

Did anyone see that lady going crazy after getting a high five from tim duncan? LOl looked like she was having an orgasm.

[kjhip1]

I know its the Nets, but this team is certainly on a roll and looks as though they going to be scary once Manu gets integrated back into the lineup. Its looking more and more like this team has a chance to make it once they hit the playoffs as long as there they are healthy. Yes, another big would be good, but considering how much better Tiago looks this year and how T.J. Ford was lookin before he got injured with the second unit, we certainly are one of the deepest teams in the league. Good win tonight!

[GB20]

50 points from the bench

[NRHector]

there was a lot of Spurs fan in NJ

[Libri]

6 Spurs in double figures - nice road win over a bad team that nevertheless wanted a win.

Pip pip, I must say those chaps played quite well. :smokin

[Chachachango]

Damn, that one fan really wanted to high five TD.


:lmao that shit was funny.

[NRHector]

Did anyone see that lady going crazy after getting a high five from tim duncan? LOl looked like she was having an orgasm.

I did, it look like she wanted to jump :lol

[timvp]

Tbh, someone needs to make a gif of that.

[Chachachango]

Tbh, someone needs to make a gif of that.

I agree. That was too funny.

[Reck]

I must have missed that part. lol

[GSH]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I really miss RMJ slapping his ass after every made 3-pointer. This Neal guy is boring. He just makes 'em and gets back on defense.

[NRHector]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I really miss RMJ slapping his ass after every made 3-pointer. This Neal guy is boring. He just makes 'em and gets back on defense.

fify

[SpurNation]

Yeah..those all business types of players ruin the game.

[ElNono]

Just got back from the game... We win!

[ElNono]

My guess is lots of Argentines in the NY/Jersey/Philly area...including ElNono :lol.

There are always a gang of them when they play in Philly, and given the Nets don't sell many tickets to their own fans, easier to be heard.

tbh, lots of Spurs fans not necessarily Argies... dunno what's up with NJ

[blkroadrunners]

Hey, I was watching the game, and I meant to ask were you the fan who had a black and silver wrestling mask on?

[Trainwreck2100]

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Just got back from the game... We win!

[SpurNation]

Just got back from the game... We win!
