[Supergirl]

Status on TP's injury? Is it serious or is Pop being cautious?

[ManuTastic]

Leonard a dam gangster out there

[pgardn]

The Wolves interior defense is just pitiful.

They need their other bigs back badly.

[100%duncan]

Neal wit it

[100%duncan]

Status on TP's injury? Is it serious or is Pop being cautious?

More of being cautious

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Neal making Barea his bitch :lol

[ViceCity84]

Spurs offense like early 80s Spurs
Racking up 120s

[I Heart Ginobili]

Loving the Neal shove on Barea and then just draining the 3 in his eyeball

[DAF86]

Six spurs in double figures.

Manu and Tony not any of those :hat

[Juggity]

Only thing that would make this game better is if Green hits the last shot and I get my $1000 vBookie cash :lol

[ElNono]

Halftime
Lakers 57 Mavs 44

[DPG21920]

Is it just me or does JA's athleticism look much better?

[ElNono]

We win!

[bklynspursfan]

Of course we couldn't keep a team under 100 smfh.

[100%duncan]

[DesignatedT]

Any video of the jersey retirement?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Welcome back, Jax!

And congrats to Bruce!

Awesome.

:toast

[Nathan89]

Is it just me or does JA's athleticism look much better?

Slightly better but still not a good player. Still goes into the paint without a clue on what to do. Still goes into a paint full of players. He did get lucky a few times though in the paint.

[timtonymanu]

Gary Neal made the last FG.

[pgardn]

Halftime
Lakers 57 Mavs 44
Sessions playing great.Lakers addressed weakness,while we add another guard.uggh

Dallas does not have the haymaker tonight...

Would not surprise me if they get eaten up.

Losing Chandler hurt them a great deal. Not against us so far, but overall.

[CGD]

Did Bill Land just say the Dawson can really jump? Doesn't seem that athletic

I had the same thought...

[jjktkk]

glass team...

Retarded fan.

[100%duncan]

Last game against Dallas wasn't an important one

[Juggity]

Who scored the last basket?

Leonard hit 2 free throws, but before that it was Neal with a 3.

[urunobili]

is the ceremony streamed by Spurs.com? league pass?

[maverick1948]

I had the same thought...

Yes he said it and Dawson can get up. He is a high jumper. I have watched a few of the DLeague games and he is a man among boys. If he stays with the Spurs, he will show it soon enough. Watch New Orleans game this weekend.

[100%duncan]

can't wait for timvp's grades

[ViceCity84]

Great win for Spurs
Other sports news-LOL at Jets trading for Tebow.

[BackHome]

NATHAN89 - I laughed my ass off watching that little video......man the expression on that guys face ......:rollin

[Nathan89]

Just saw a mini Jackson interview. He seems to have fore-head creases/wrinkles on only one side of his fore-head. The other side seemed smooth.

Just a weird observation.

[GSH]

Damn, Stephen Jackson sounded good in the post game interview. He's not even like the same guy I've seen for a bunch of years. I've never questioned his ability on the court, but the guy in this interview didn't look like someone who you have to worry about going off the reservation. And to the people who said that would happen - I was wrong.

This team is so much better as a result of that trade.

That's where Tolliver "almost" fouled him.

[GSH]

Heh. Yeah, that was a pretty good shot not to draw a whistle.

[TampaDude]

Easy win for the Spurs. TP can rest that hammy a game or two if necessary. SJax and Neal can carry the load. :hat

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[Budkin]

God it's great having JAX back. Got damn.

[TDfan2007]

Lol Manu: "I can't even play 8 games in a row."

[DPG21920]

What did Jax say

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol good luck tryin to score on 234 when they on the court at the same time

[Robz4000]

This was a great game to see live. Love being reminded why I'm a Spur fan and how lucky we are that the organization is as awesome as it is.

[Manufan909]

NATHAN89 - I laughed my ass off watching that little video......man the expression on that guys face ......:rollin

Beasley or Tolliver? I personally enjoy Tolliver's reaction more, he just nods all nonchalant after Beasley apologizes.:downspin:

Concerning the game, I'm disappointed Splitter didn't play better with Bonner out. He had a weak offensive game against a team that was missing it's two best bigman defenders, yet he still shot worse than 50%. Plus, he fouled too much, otherwise he would have been able to play more minutes... probably. Pop was fine playing small ball, and with KL I don't blame him.

I was just about to write that I'm surprised there are no "We should have kept Tolliver threads in the main forum.

It's interesting. Jax really didn't want to be in Milwaukee and was demanding a contract extension. Now all of a sudden he's willing to accept any role and is on his best behavior.

[DesignatedT]

Jax a smarter guy than people might think. He knows the only way he has a chance to stay here long term is to fall in line with everybody else and perform on the court. If that doesn't happen he will just end up on another lottery team with nothing to play for. He seems very motivated to keep that from happening. That's what made this trade so good.

:tu. Can't wait to see what this team can do in the Playoffs with a motivated Jax along with a hungry Big 3 and the young guys mixed in.

[Robz4000]

?
The AT&T Center was kickin' tonight. Knew as soon as I waltzed in that the Spurs had this game in the bag. Bruce, DRob, RC, Pop, Timmy, Manu, and Tony; gotta love em all.

Lol Love being the first word of the sentence made me immediately think you were referring to Kevin, so I had no clue what you were talking about.:lol

Got it now.

And GSH, I'm waiting for a thread showing how much better SJax has been in his first 2 games with a new team, compared to RJs first 2 with a new team. SJax might have the advantage of playing with an old coach plus 3 old teammates, but whatever.

:flag:

[TDMVPDPOY]

where all the pessimist sayin jax is going to be a chucker or trouble maker...fkn

[GSH]

What did Jax say

This is the interview. Part of it was what he said, but the big thing was that he was all business and no bluster. Someone above said Jackson is smarter than he gets credit for. He sure made a case for that in this interview.

Spurs forward Stephen Jackson:

(On first game back in this arena…)

“We won. That’s what I am all about. I am glad to be here on a team that wins. It feels good to finally get back on the court and get this first home game out of the way. I did not have too many jitters because I have been doing this for a long time. To be able to get out there and win this game is great.”

(On shooting his 3-point shots)

“A lot of those shots just came through the offense and gave me wide-open looks. We practice this everyday and these are the shots we are going to get with this offense. We just need to knock them down.”

(On how it was playing with Tim Duncan again…)

“This is the Tim I have always known. He is moving great. From watching him last year to now, he definitely looks like the old Tim Duncan. To get where we want to be, we are going to need him to play like that.”

(On Tony Parker coming out in the second quarter…)

“Things are going to be difficult for us playing without Tony. We are in a good position with Ginobili being able to play point and move the ball. We just have to figure it out. We did not expect for this to happen but Gary Neal and Manu Ginobili are picking up the slack.”



where all the pessimist sayin jax is going to be a chucker or trouble maker...fkn

One of them is right here. I don't mind saying that I think I was wrong. He could still go back to his old ways, but I like what I see so far.
