[sanman53]

TO get the NBA radio, does it have to be cable hookup or can it be dialup, Im not getting any connection? Anyone know?

[Kobayagi]

Since I'm burning the midnight oil here in Slovenia anyway, I might as well tune in. :)

[Mavs<Spurs]

Scrubs vs Scrubs! Yes!


Kori, what is the point of Scrubs vs Scrubs.

I don't get it.

[Solid D]

So Bowen can't guard Korver just standing around way out there, I guess.

[Solid D]

Parker's hit 2 20-footers and Rasho from the top and scoring around the hoop. Lead cut to 1. Whoot!

[Kori Ellis]

The audio on NBA.com is working now.

[lilmads]

My Rasho is starting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant

Woohoo! Something you can celebrate for! :elephant

[adrien]

[NZHayden]

spurs 48
sixers 55

[ploto]

49-36 Rasho has hit one

One what? He had 4 points in the first quarter.

[nkdlunch]

Did Rasho just shoot from mid-court? :lol

WTF!? If Rasho is the option for that shot, no wonder we're losing

[ploto]

Did Rasho just shoot from mid-court? :lol
Yes, somehow I think NVE didn't run that play right! :lol

Actually, it was NVE, Rasho and scrubs.

[Kobayagi]

I think he's got 6 points now.

[Kobayagi]

WTF!? If Rasho is the option for that shot, no wonder we're losing


Yup, and I think we took a time out for that one. :lol

[Kobayagi]

Rasho scores again! :elephant

[Kobayagi]

AI 14 pts, 3 rebs, 6 assists.

[AI-square]

Sixers 73-62 midway through the 3rd. Iverson with 21 points, 4 rebs and 6 assists. Lee Nailon with 10 points.

[loveforthegame]

How's Finley and NVE doing?

[sanman53]

Go Spurs Go!!!

[Kobayagi]

Trailing by 7 after 3rd.

[AI-square]

Sixers 78 Spurs 71 at the end of the 3rd quarter. I'm sorry I haven't heard much of NVE but I remember Finley making 2 jumpers about 5 mins ago..

Duncan with 12 pts 8 rebounds

[loveforthegame]

Sixers 78 Spurs 71 at the end of the 3rd quarter. I'm sorry I haven't heard much of NVE but I remember Finley making 2 jumpers about 5 mins ago..

Thanks.

I read on another board that NVE was like 1-9 and Fin was 2-8.

[Kori Ellis]

NVE missed his first six shots. But now he has five points.

[Kobayagi]

NVE just hit a 3-pointer.

[AI-square]

NVE just made a trey. Sixers 82-76

[Kobayagi]

Sanders sounds good.

[NZHayden]

hows marks doing guys

[NZHayden]

<post number 901!

[Kobayagi]

I don't know if he's playing at all. Seems to me Rasho's got minutes tonight.

[Kobayagi]

Marks coming in now.


Sixers by 4, 7:20 to go.

[AI-square]

I've been listening since early 3rd quarter but I haven't heard Marks' name yet.

Wait, he makes a 7-footer and it's now a 2-point game with 6:55 left. Maurice Cheeks calls a timeout.

[BronxCowboy]

Heard Marks' name earlier in the game, not sure how he did.

[ChumpDumper]

Sanders sounds involved in every play on both ends. Making a case for himself.

[ObiwanGinobili]

score?

[Kobayagi]

88 - 84, I think.

[BronxCowboy]

yes, 88-84

[AI-square]

Sixers 88 Spurs 84.

[Kobayagi]

Marks just received an emphatic rejection.




Misses another one.


Sanders is fouled out with 18 pts.

[loveforthegame]

lineup?

[AI-square]

Sean Marks gets rejected by Deng Gai (a.k.a the human blocking machine). Spurs make a basket though. Can't remember who made the jumper. Sixers 88 Spurs 86 as Sanders fouls out with 6-of-7 shooting, 18 points and guarding Iverson earlier in the game.

[nkdlunch]

I just tuned in and this is what I heard :(

"Beno just threw it away, that was embarrassing hahaha"

[Kobayagi]

Williams, Marks, Udrih,...don't know the rest.

[Kobayagi]

Ford is in the game too.



Sixers by 9, 3 and a half to go.

[loveforthegame]

[AI-square]

Wow, thanks for the pics. Nice action shots.

[AI-square]

98-86 after two 3-pointers by Kyle Korver.

[Sense]

after the first game, I wonder if the rest of the preseason games are worth talkin bout..

[Kori Ellis]

Spurs lose. But Sanders with a sweet game (despite fouling out).

[AI-square]

Final: Sixers 100 Spurs 88

[Kobayagi]

Final score:
Sixers 100 - Spurs 88

[ChumpDumper]

Hilarious, again our scrubs close on their scrubs and the coach puts in a starter to keep it out of reach.

Incredulous Sixer announcer: "Kyle's back in the game!"

WTF is Duncan tryin to block/contest on this one???

[ploto]

Rasho had 8 points, 8 rebounds, and a couple of nice assists tonight.

Sanders seems to be the guy the Spurs are really looking at.

I don't even think Tony or Bruce played the second half- did they?

[AI-square]

I think Bowen played a bit in the 3rd. I don't think Parker did. Iguodala didn't play in the second half either.

[angel_luv]

[QUOTE=ploto]Rasho had 8 points, 8 rebounds, and a couple of nice assists tonight.[QUOTE]

Some blocks too! :elephant

I knew it would happen! ;)

i like the :fro

[ChumpDumper]

People really seem to fear it....

[1Parker1]

Damn....guess I shouldn't wear my Spurs Shirt around Philly tommorow :)

[kolko]

Duncan ended with 12 points and eight rebounds.

[milkyway21]

we lost again? :depressed .

it's nice if we win. but don't really care if the Spurs win in a pre-season game or not. kind of sad Oberto became a casualty playing just a few minutes into his first NBA game.

i hope Pops try to regulate Tim & Manu or even the tired Parker's minutes to a minimum to keep them fresh come regular season.

[Solid D]

Lots of weird combinations. The Spurs closed within 2 points with about 6 min. left and then Melvin Sanders (who had helped lead the team back) fouled out. That left the scoring up to Sean Marks and company and that dog didn't hunt. Oh, and Jawad stinks.

[Solid D]

*beep* *bird* *bleep* *choochoo* *evil* *harp* *meow* *slap* *welcome* *whip*

Dude, it's the boutons of emoticons. :smokin

Through the first 2 games its been Ford & Sanders have performed.

[Despot]

WTF is Duncan tryin to block/contest on this one???


I think there was a fly on the backboard.

[JamStone]

Hilarious, again our scrubs close on their scrubs and the coach puts in a starter to keep it out of reach.

Incredulous Sixer announcer: "Kyle's back in the game!"


It is Kyle Korver ... not like it was Iverson they put back in.

[Slo spurs fan]

Beno played?

[ChumpDumper]

It is Kyle Korver ... not like it was Iverson they put back in.He's a starter -- and it's the second time this happened. So get bent and let the conspiracy live.

[Notorious H.O.P.]

Some of these coaches will do that because they fear for their jobs (Van Gundy) or are new to their teams and want to get off on the right foot and give the appearance of progress (Cheeks).

Pop just has to get the new guys familar with the system, knock the rust off of the regular guys and evaluate the inactive list fodder for potential unpolished gems.

[AI-square]

He's a starter -- and it's the second time this happened. So get bent and let the conspiracy live.

Look, the Sixers didn't want to lose 2 preseason games having had a new coach and all. It's a confidence thing.

The Spurs obviously don't have anything to prove because they're NBA champs and deservedly so.

[ChumpDumper]

BOX SCORE: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=251012020

Rasho 8 pts, 8 reb, 2 blocks, 2 asist

oh well you win some you lose some

[ALVAREZ6]

Ahhh, that explains it.

[MiNuS]

i like the :fro
He looks less dorky and more hip.

[AI-square]

Exactly -- and if you saw how seriously Van Gundy took the last game, you'd see the trend. It's just funny, that's all.

You gotta sympathize with Stan van Gundy. After all that may have been his one chance to beat the Spurs.

[Jimcs50]

It does not matter who wins preseason games.

The Colts lost all 4 preseason football games and they are the only undefeated NFL team left at 5-0.

Preseason is just for Pop to look at the new guys and for him to evaluate talent and to try to get an idea of which players play well together. It matters not if they win or lose.

Bingo! Last year I had to listen to all the stupid Wisconsin sports reporters saying how excited they were for the season based on what the Bucks did in preseason. They were predicting playoffs, some evern second or third round!! But alas, they end up with one of the worst records in the NBA. :lol

Who cares about preseason!
