[boutons]

I have a Slingbox that works really well, but it supports only one remote viewer at a time. I was in San Diego CA last week and watched all the Spurs games via my Slingbox back in San Antonio TX. I was also able to watch non-Spurs games on NBA League Pass on those evenings when the Spurs weren't playing.

If any foreign group (Slovenes? Frenchies? Argies? ) wants to get together to watch the game, let me know. We can do a test run at any time. You have to install the free Slingbox viewer:

http://www.slingmedia.com/support/downloads.php

and have probably 1 Mbit/sec Internet connection. When I was watching in San Diego, my Sling viewer was announcing 600 - 800 Kbit/sec video stream rate. If you have a slower rate, the quality will be reduced.

[Pistons < Spurs]

20 more minutes................!!!!!!!!

I'm looking forward to a GOOD game. Win or lose, I'm happy to be able to watch my team play on Christmas.

I predict a close game. Tayshaun may be the X factor. I beleive it will come down to the last 5 minutes or so.

Regardless of the outcome, I'm rooting for some quality basketball......and hoping for no injuries for either team.

Go Pistons

[polandprzem]

No slingbox :depressed

[FreshPrince22]

and hoping for no injuries for either team.


That's the most important thing. No repeats of last year's game. No matter who wins today, I am confident both team will be in the Finals at the end of the season if both can stay relatively healthy.

[boutons]

T_park, you quitter and liar, shut the fuck up.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

yeah but are any spurs fans actually surprised at this?? we all knew detroit was at another level from us :pctoss

That doesn't explain why the spurs are sleep walking through the first quarter

[Rummpd]

Detroit is not playing that well, the Spurs just shooting bricks and no apparent fire. Don't give them too much credit.

[Budkin]

WTF Spurs... No points from anyone but Tony? They look like total chumps. 8 pts total in the quarter?

:depressed

[themvp]

we will be fine

[MI21]

Pretty safe to assume that the Spurs will not win if they continue to have 8 point quarters :lol

Ben Wallace 9 Rebounds, Rasho Nesterovic 0?

0-12 for everyone not named Tony Parker. Pathetic.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Detroit is not playing that well, the Spurs just shooting bricks and no apparent fire. Don't give them too much credit.

Agreed.

[T Park]

its christmas.

Smell the smells.

Look at that beautifull christmas tree.


Hey to all the Slovenians.

Rasho said something the other day that I found interesting.

You celebrate Christmas on January 7th????

If so, is there a story or reason behind that????

[MI21]

16-2 run for Detroit that was.

:lol

[doldrums]

we need ginobili against this team

[T Park]

T_park, you quitter and liar, shut the fuck up.


Uh, no?

No thanks.

If you can babble your head off with your chicken little quitting, then I can respond with realism and stuff.

[themvp]

No. :rolleyes

Orthodox Christians still use Julian calendar, so X-mass for them is on Jan 7th (New Year - Jan 15th). Slovenia is in majority Catholic, however, Rasho has Serbian origins, and Serbian are Ortodox, so...

[T Park]

No. :rolleyes

Dont roll eyes at me, Rasho was the one that said it.

[NyKco]

When manu I cure this one it he does not reach 30 minutes !! :depressed :depressed

Do you celebrate christmas any differently than I guess unorthodox christians??? Lol...

Rasho is on Rasheed? That would be the only explanation for Rasho being anywhere more than 5 feet from the basket.

[T Park]

I was rolling at him

lol.

What for, it sounds like its true.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Orthodox Christians still use Julian calendar, so X-mass for them is on Jan 7th (New Year - Jan 15th). Slovenia is in majority Catholic, however, Rasho has Serbian origins, and Serbian are Ortodox, so...


very interesting

[MI21]

Spurs on fire.

8 points already this quarter!

[Spurologist]

Did rasho think he fouled somebody there? :lol apparently a tech

[T Park]

Rasho is on Rasheed? That would be the only explanation for Rasho being anywhere more than 5 feet from the basket.

Uh sometimes.

But I didnt know Rasho had to match Ben Wallace.

Rasho has to match an MVP candidate??

Now i know you guys are finding anything.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

so thats why detroit is winning! they've had 6 players on the court this whole time! :lol

I'm either way with Rasho, I'm not one of "you guys" who hates Rasho.

Ben Wallace is not an MVP candidate, and I don't expect Rasho to match him. But 9-0 is outrageous.

[T Park]

Ben Wallace is not an MVP candidate

He wasn't??

Might want to check the voting again.

Like a DAGGER!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

loose ball foul???? BS.

Is it ok when you have the ball on the ground and have people jump on you?

[Brutalis]

Duncan has the play of the night so far with the dunk.

[Budkin]

Hell yeah! Sick dunk by TD. Looking like the Timmy of old!

[FreshPrince22]

Once again the refs show that bias against Rasheed. What an awful call. Then they compound the problem with a technical. Typical. And Sorry Spurs fans, yes, you are aloud to go after a loose ball. Just not when it's Duncan your trying to get it with.

Why, where did he finish? He isn't even the best player on the team.

More than likely a few of them is gonna fall into the other team's best rebounder's head.

You would to think maybe 1 of the 30 odd missed shots for the quarter would end up in the hands of the tallest player on the court. Anyyyywwwaaayyyy....

Tim is alive!

[T Park]

Once again the refs show that bias against Rasheed

anyone can love any team so much that they lose a firm grip on reality.
I'm not from SA originaly but I love the Spurs.... if I loved them so much that I was 100% sure they would win 70 games then I'd be a spurs homer.
Scottie loves this incarnation of the pistons alot. alot. he loves those guys - he players. and he thinks they will win 70+ games. homer.

Great first half for the pistons. Their defense is incredible right now. 40-30 at half time. :lol

[Pistons < Spurs]

I hope the second half of this game is a little more uptempo...and that shots fall.

[ALVAREZ6]

Pistons aren't doing much better though...

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

we need finley to get hot in the 2nd half, spurs have no shot without any contribution from the 2 position

[Budkin]

Just throw the white towel..

You don't stand a chance today against the Pistons...

Yeah the Pistons don't look too hot themselves. Anything can happen in the second half.

[boutons]

Spurs still in their hole of the first quarter.
Pistons have 10 pts from their bench, Spurs 5.

Spurs getting destroyed, again, on the boards, 14 - 27.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

we also have to step up the rebounding!!

[lilmads]

spurs still have a chance.. td just needs to get playing:) once he's playin harder, he'll get better shots...
there's always hope!:) pistons just want it more than the spurs.. ah well..

is excuses a medical term??

can you tell me weather or not plantar fascitus refers to bone spurs or not?
if not then STFU.
i didn't go to medical school - soo sorry that I ned clarification.

[boutons]

All the Pistons have to do now is trade baskets to win the game.

Spurs shooting 35% _AND_ only 2 ORBs. Shooting like shit with one-and-done.

Michael certainly isn't filling in for Manu at all. And Brent has no-showed.

[loveforthegame]

That first quarter was horrible. They bounced back with more hustle in the 2nd only to end it on a bad note before the half.

We really need Finley to hit a few shots (I thought he took more than 4) and for the team to rebound better. If they could just keep it close we might have a chance in the end. You can't fall behind, dig yourself out, fall behind, dig yourself out and expect to win.

[bendmz]

the Spurs will come alive here soon.....

[FreshPrince22]

Rip sucks, or is it good defense???


That's not the point. The point is that the defense is good, so he shouldn't be forcing it, but he is. Besides, he's missed at least 4-5 wide open shots to go along with the well defended ones.

Sure, there is defense...but Rip is just flat out missing shots.

[T Park]

gettin away with a lot of contact down low on Duncan.

Id love for an explanation why a big can get beat up downlow, but you breath on a guy on the perimiter its an immediate foul.


If Ginobili was playing this game, this game is a tie game.

HIs defense, slashing, and just adding depth to the team is whats needed.

Finley is out there playing with guys he wouldn't REALLY play with normally.

see i dont know about that. the way the pistons are playign at this extra gear i still think detroit would be winning, though manu def. makes a more than positive difference

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

this game??

Obviously.

Season? Not even close Rasho>Nazr


No team with Rasho starting at center has ever won the championship

[BruceB12]

Why do we come so close only to let the Pistons have an easy five to put them back up by nine?

[ahb]

It is good defense, T Park. Bruce Bowen has gotten into Rip's head to the point where he can't hit a wide-open jumper. The problem is that Rip can't do anything but catch and shoot. If he tries to drive he'll travel, dribble the ball of his foot, or get blocked.

Saunders shoot go to Delfino or Evans, neither of whom would be affected as much by Bowen's head games. Prince should be the focal point of the Pistons offense.

And please stop whining about Rasheed. He's not getting away with anything he shouldn't.

[lilmads]

c'mon spurs...

[Spurologist]

barry. shot the ball

[Amuseddaysleeper]

we're within 3 but with duncan on the bench, watch the pistons lead balloon up again

[T Park]

of whom would be affected as much by Bowen's head games

I was with you till that.

If Rip Hamilton? Is "affected" then bench guys like Delfino or Evans will be MORE affected IMO.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Prince should be the focal point of the Pistons offense.


I absolutely agree.....

[Vashner]

Woah... you can hear a pin drop lol.. 3pt det lead..

[Pistons < Spurs]

Woah... you can hear a pin drop lol.. 3pt det lead..

It's due to the way ABC has the placed mik'd

[T Park]

No team with Rasho starting at center has ever won the championship

If Nesterovic doesnt get hurt VS the Clippers, hes the starting center throughout the playoffs.

Stupid analogy.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

what'd I tell you guys with duncan bein out?? fuck!! :pctoss

[T Park]

About fuckin time Brent.

Just shoot.

Stop freakin thinking!!!

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Not an analogy, its a fact. I dont think its a coincidence

[T Park]

My case is proven.

Barry BREATHES on Prince, FOUL.

Duncan or Wallace is downlow getting HACKED, nothing.

What is the reasoning behind that.


BTW, Brent, just foul out if you dont want to be out there ahole.

[BruceB12]

Bill Walton was right about one thing: Barry should not hesitate to shoot.

[T Park]

Not an analogy, its a fact. I dont think its a coincidence

lmao

Thats what was holding back the Timberwolves.


It wasn't Kevin Garnett's stiffing up in the playoffs.

IT WAS RASHO!!

IF ONLY THEY HAD NAZR!!!

Rasho is soft, Nazr is not the best center but at least he plays physical and attacks the boards.

[T Park]

The FINISHER just warmed up for the 4th quarter

Told ya.

He can miss for a whole almost 3 quarters, but he always seems to bust some big shots in the 4th.


People that said he doesnt play well in big games are wrong.

Hes played decent D for a Maverick, and hes rebounded well. I think hes got 4 or 5.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

lol

morons.

t park, dont you feel nick takes HORRIFIC ill advised shots? i mean come on man

[loveforthegame]

Finley finally hits a shot. Let's hope it carris over to the 4th quarter.

I'm surprised the Pistons haven't taken advantage of the Prince/Finley matchup. Fin can do a decent job of keeping him in front of him on the perimeter but he won't be able to stop him down low.

The Spurs are within reach, can they take it in the 4th?

[T Park]

Rasho is soft, Nazr is not the best center but at least he plays physical and attacks the boards

Ah ok.

So all the good games Rasho has had recently mean jack shit.

Right?

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Ah ok.

So all the good games Rasho has had recently mean jack shit.

Right?

And all the bad games he's had over the last 3 years don't mean jack shit?

[ahb]

Delfino is a slasher like Ginobili, T Park. I'm not saying that he could necessarily score at will or even at a high percentage on Bowen, but he's much harder to guard than a one-dimensional player like Rip. Rip has been completely shut down - I'm just saying I like Delfino's chances of at least equalling his offensive output.

If Prince took 30 shots the Pistons would blow out the Spurs in this game, though, and I'm not quite sure why he doesn't get the ball more. Billups' ego, I suspect.

[lilmads]

course they can!
they outscored the pistons in the 3rd... let's just hope they continue making some smart shots

[BruceB12]

Who will have the bigger 4th quarter? I'm thinking Parker to take over.

[loveforthegame]

I thought Nazr did a real good job out there. Both ends.

[SequSpur]

Ben Wallace is setting a record against SA in rebounds.....

WTF?

[T Park]

t park, dont you feel nick takes HORRIFIC ill advised shots? i mean come on man


Id let like Popovic does.

Let Van Exel shoot whatever shot he wants.


You forget the games hes had in the past in big games.

Especially in the playoffs,

Remember Dallas Sacramento in 03??

Van Exel won that series single handidly.

And he just now drew a foul....

[lilmads]

parker should come up big in the fourth.... or at least assist timmy to do so... c'mon spurs... it's now or never.. or at least not until the playoffs:)

[T Park]

And all the bad games he's had over the last 3 years don't mean jack shit?

Damn.

Better clean the venom off your screen.

Damn

[T Park]

Hey timmy, ever heard of an upfake?

BTW, get Horry out of there.

Hes still in early season mode.

BOTH sides of the ball.

Get him out please.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Man, Tim is starting to take stupid shots. What happened to the face up bank shot??

[Pistons < Spurs]

I love watching Tim and Sheed battle each other.

Spurs can't get over the hump, -8 again.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

look how easy for det to get baskets against us almost will, while we struggle to get a decent shot up

once again

we crawl within 3 then detroit fucks us up and takes a 8 point lead

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Damn.

Better clean the venom off your screen.

Damn


I think Rasho has played great this year, but Nazr IMHO is the better fit to be starting. If not starting, no reason for Nazr to have DNPs

[SequSpur]

Rebound, Block the fuck out, Set a pick.....

Basic fucking basketball................

[boutons]

Spurs still -18!!!! in RBs.
that's the game right there.

[loveforthegame]

Duncan has forced a couple shots. Need to find him some more easy baskets.

Horry is having too hard a time inside. Put Nazr back in or bring back Rasho.

[FreshPrince22]

If Prince took 30 shots the Pistons would blow out the Spurs in this game, though, and I'm not quite sure why he doesn't get the ball more. Billups' ego, I suspect.

No, the Spurs always double team Tayshaun. They did it every single time he touched it in the Finals, and they did it again.
