The streaking San Antonio Spurs look for their 10th straight win on the road and overall when they take on LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The defending NBA champions have not lost since dropping an 89-85 decision Jan. 22 to the Denver Nuggets. San Antonio's last road loss came Jan. 7 with a 91-86 setback to the Phoenix Suns.

San Antonio is looking for its first 10-game winning streak since an 11-game run from March 25-April 14, 2004. The current nine-game road win streak already is a franchise-best.

The Spurs also have dominated the Cavaliers recently, winning four in a row while limiting James to 81 points total.

San Antonio continued its winning ways on the road Sunday with a 92-88 victory over the Indiana Pacers as Manu Ginobili scored 10 of his 29 points in the final 88 seconds.

Ginobili came through as Tony Parker struggled and Tim Duncan was recovering from the flu and trying to shake off a foot injury.

"We know that Tim is not at his best," Ginobili said. "He's still sick, weak. He's been playing with pain in his foot for a lot of games. We've got to step up and take some pressure off him. We did pretty well."

Ginobili has scored 18.4 points and is shooting 54.2 percent from 3-point range in seven games since returning from a sprained right foot suffered Jan. 20 against the Miami Heat.

"No more impressive than he is every game," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said of Ginobili. "That's how he plays. He's an ultimate warrior and that's what we see from him night after night."

James had 33 points Saturday, but the Cavs fell to the short-handed Golden State Warriors 99-91. Cleveland lost for just the second time in 15 games to Golden State, which played without forward Troy Murphy and all but nine minutes without Baron Davis.

Cavs coach Mike Brown said his team seemed to be waiting to LeBron to make something happen.

"We stood around and watched LeBron," Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said. "We didn't ever give ourselves a chance to win. We played defense for 10 to 15 seconds on each possession, then they eventually got what they wanted. Offensively, we didn't execute at all, especially late."

James has been logging more minutes with Larry Hughes sidelined by a broken finger. He has played all but 12:39 in the last five games.

"I'll never be disappointed in my team," James said. "But we were not mentally prepared and took things for granted. We can't do that."

Cleveland has just four wins in its last 24 games against San Antonio dating back to Feb. 3, 1994.

Lets take a look at the Rodeo Road Trip so far.

http://www.nba.com/spurs/news/daily_blog.html

Jan 30 @ Utah: Nazr Mohammed steps up with Rasho in foul trouble and grabs a team-high nine boards.

Feb 1 @ Portland: Manu Ginobili shoots 50% from the floor and hits 11 of 12 from the free throw line on his way to 22 points. In a game where the Spurs shot under 40% and took nine less shots than the Blazers, those free throws here crucial.

Feb 2 @ Golden State: Rasho Nesterovic hits 6 of his 8 attempts for 12 points while grabbing 10 boards and blocking 3 shots. It was Rasho's first double-double of the season.

Feb 8 @ Toronto: Sean Marks goes hits 8-of-9 shots on his way to 16 points. While those points were vital in an overtime-destined game, they also helped to spread the defense allowing Tony some room to operate and helped him score his 32 points.

Feb 10 @ New Jersey: Bruce Bowen holds Vince Carter to 10 of 27 shooting. Bruce finished the day with nine points and four boards, but keeping Carter in check and the Nets fastbreak to just five points was key to the win.

Feb 12 @ Indiana: Nazr Mohammed comes off the bench for a big performance once again scoring 12 points on 6-of-7 shooting and grabbing an impressive nine offensive rebounds.

Good spark from Nick.

Not sure whether he runs the Spurs offense at all.

Seems to be a free-lancer. :)

[Spurologist]

Nick with the ankle braker!!

haha on who?

[carina_gino20]

why is bruce still on the bench?

[Dre_7]

Is NVE guarding James??? :wtf

Tp should take the ball to the lane everytime down the court and exploit cleveland's infantile interior D

[carina_gino20]

hook by Timmy..and 1?

[HB22inSA]

If Duncan keeps playing this well, The Spurs will lose by double digits.

[carina_gino20]

Bonus free throw, good

[usckk]

What happened to Horry?

[lil'mo]

If Duncan keeps playing this well, The Spurs will lose by double digits.
:rolleyes

[carina_gino20]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!

[milkyway21]

5 assts for Timmy now :D

[carina_gino20]

wow..Timmy with almost a double-double

[Spurologist]

If Duncan keeps playing this well, The Spurs will lose by double digits.

spurs have a great record when td is the leading scorer. Something like 18-3

[HB22inSA]

Looks like Duncan 2003 out there.

[carina_gino20]

manu with offensive foul...3PFs..:depressed

[Manu20]

At the half Spurs trail 44-45.

[mavsfan1000]

That call on Ilgauskas was bs.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Go Cav's!!

[HB22inSA]

Timmy with 16-9-4.

No way...

[Spurologist]

It'll be nice to have a game when big three are all playing well. It's always one or two of the the three.

key for second half
1. Bowen minutes = James minutes
2. Attack paint
3. Get Fin more minutes. 5 min? for former all star

[dimsah]

How does Drew Gooden have 5 offensive rebounds. He's such a scrub.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

How does Drew Gooden have 5 offensive rebounds. He's such a scrub.

I think it has something to do with that birdnest for a beard he has

[Pistons < Spurs]

How does Drew Gooden have 5 offensive rebounds. He's such a scrub.


Gooden CAN be a very good player.

Can display lots of hustle,energy and scrappiness. And he's always been a pretty good rebounder.

His problem has always been consistency. He can play 30 minutes, and walk away w/ 3 points and 2 rebounds.

[Spurologist]

How does Drew Gooden have 5 offensive rebounds. He's such a scrub.

Gooden is a monster rebounder. I truly believe this guy can average 15 rebounds a game.

[Spurologist]

His problem has always been consistency. He can play 30 minutes, and walk away w/ 3 points and 2 rebounds.

He's on my fantasy team and I don't remember him having that bad of a night. At worst 2 pts 9 rbds

[dimsah]

Gooden is a monster rebounder. I truly believe this guy can average 15 rebounds a game.
Let me rephrase. Why does he have 5 offensive rebounds against the Spurs in one half?

[bendmz]

Spurs have the Cavs right where they want them.......

[boutons_]

Both teams look flat. Which ever team wakes up, wins.

Somebody's gotta block out the Cavs in-tippers.
Cavs got way too many points on put backs.

Gooden's really playing Tim physically.

[SequSpur]

NVE rules.

[loveforthegame]

It'll be nice to have a game when big three are all playing well. It's always one or two of the the three.

key for second half
1. Bowen minutes = James minutes
2. Attack paint
3. Get Fin more minutes. 5 min? for former all star

I'm not concerned with minutes and Finley. Some nights he'll log more than others but his shot attempts are what stump me. If he's supposed to be a threat off the bench how does he not get a few more attempts? I'm not talking just this game either.

[Pistons < Spurs]

He's on my fantasy team and I don't remember him having that bad of a night. At worst 2 pts 9 rbds

Maybe I stretched it a bit. He does always get his rebounds, but his last game for example was:

23 minutes 1 point 7 rebounds

[ploto]

What happened to Horry?

Going to sit him out until after the All Star Game. Oberto is back ready to play.

[Spurologist]

Let me rephrase. Why does he have 5 offensive rebounds against the Spurs in one half?

Everyone wants to show up against Timmy. All he has to do is shut down his spirits. Maybe throw one down on him and on the other end he might want to put a body him.

[carina_gino20]

what the heck? Manu gets his 4th PF

[WalterBenitez]

TF to Bruce??? what happened?

[SAtown]

Now Manu gets his 4th

[Dre_7]

Lota offensive rebounds for CLE.

[Pistons < Spurs]

4 on Manu? ouch.

[carina_gino20]

that's 5 on Manu now..:depressed

Barry in

[lil'mo]

damn, dont play-by-play so much

[loveforthegame]

The offensive fouls are ridiculous.

[Pistons < Spurs]

that's 5 on Manu now..:depressed

Barry in


Yahoo shows 4?

[Dre_7]

that's 5 on Manu now..:depressed

Barry in

Only 4 on Manu.

[bendmz]

damn, just leave the guy alone !!!!!!!!!

[WalterBenitez]

Does Manu has 4 or 5 fouls?

[HB22inSA]

Cavs playing playground ball on the Spurs.

And the Spurs are starting to look tired.

[carina_gino20]

this is one ugly game. how come Tony's suddenly gun-shy right now?

[Manu20]

6:48 SA - Full timeout (Timeout #3)
6:54 CLE - L. James makes a 26-foot three-pointer from the left wing
7:01 CLE - A. Varejao defensive rebound

7:20 CLE - D. Gooden misses the first free throw
7:20 SA - Shooting foul on T. Duncan
7:22 CLE - D. Gooden offensive rebound
7:24 CLE - S. Graham misses a layup

Spurs are down 57-51.

[SouthernFried]

Man, is Pop blind?

All cleveland is doing is packing the paint...and like idiots, we just keep going inside. Take the fucking outside jumpers.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

well with bowen being a no show against lebron i think we can kiss or win streak good bye :depressed :oops

[Manu20]

Does Manu has 4 or 5 fouls?

4 fouls.

[carina_gino20]

Does Manu has 4 or 5 fouls?

manu's got 5. see ya later manu...

[bendmz]

Spurs are waiting on their second wind......

[lil'mo]

barry and finley are gonna have to step up and bail us out of this one

[HB22inSA]

They had to lose sometime.

Cavs are just too fresh and young for the Spurs.

[lil'mo]

oh my god...

[SouthernFried]

Parker had better leant to shoot an outside jumper...cuz they aint gonna give him no layups. 2 charges now, when they left him wide open outside, and he decided to drive into them instead.

[WalterBenitez]

GameCast @ ESPN says Manu with 4 fouls

[boutons_]

Spurs shooting +5% FG%, but Cavs have taken +12 more shots.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Does Manu has 4 or 5 fouls?

Yahoo shows 4 and CBS shows 5.......

I believe Yahoo is the correct one.

[bendmz]

should of been AND 1

[carina_gino20]

GameCast @ ESPN says Manu with 4 fouls

Sorry..sportsline has 5. don't know which is true..

[boutons_]

Cavs are certainly out-hustling, more aggressive under the boards.

[ducks]

james should be in jail for paying the refs

[SAtown]

This game is not out of reach at all.

[Spurologist]

They had to lose sometime.

Cavs are just too fresh and young for the Spurs.

fuck that
Cavs are certainly out-hustling, more aggressive under the boards.

[HB22inSA]

Another James fade...good.

[1Parker1]

Damn, Parker SUCKS tonight!!!! And what's up with the foul trouble on Manu?! :(

[Pistons < Spurs]

This game is not out of reach at all.


Correct. TONS of time left.

[HB22inSA]

Seriously, the Spurs just don't have that look like they want it, like they're coasting.

[HB22inSA]

Nazr travelled 4 times on the same play!!!!

[SAtown]

Someone should slap Barry to wake him up (and Nazr if they want to).

[Amuseddaysleeper]

:pctoss why the FUCK is barry missing ft's!!!! :pctoss

[Spurologist]

Barry is fucking useless. Prove a bit of your worth and make a ft

[bendmz]

looks like the Spurs are getting a case of the "DUMBASS"

[carina_gino20]

Yep..plenty of time left and just a 4-pt lead. Hope somebody steps up to help Timmy.

[RashoFan]

Nice deflect from Barry

[Brutalis]

The Cavs look like the Los Angeles Kobe's.

and where is TP?

[HB22inSA]

Lebron could beat God one-on-one.

[Pistons < Spurs]

What's happened to TD in the 3rd? so far he's only added 2 points and 1 rebound this quarter?

[RashoFan]

Yeah Nazr got the follow up basket...

[ducks]

Damn, Parker SUCKS tonight!!!! And what's up with the foul trouble on Manu?! :(


everytime he does something they call on offensive foul on him

[SAtown]

Nazr!!!!!! Finally an offensive rebound. Who was the monster of O Rebounds yesterday?

[carina_gino20]

come on guys! Go Spurs Go!

[E20]

Timmy is hopefully gonna go MVP on them due the teams lack of desire.

[HB22inSA]

Here's an idea, let's leave their best 3 pt shooter WIDE OPEN...for three.

[ducks]

4:01 SA - B. Barry steals the ball from L. James

[RashoFan]

just over 2 mins left in the 3rd...59 spurs 64 cavs

[HB22inSA]

Lebron is a GOD.

[Spurologist]

Lebron could beat God one-on-one.

is bowen guarding him

[carina_gino20]

Lebron could beat God one-on-one.

:rolleyes :rolleyes

[1Parker1]

Well, there goes the 4 point lead. Tony just needs to stop shooting the ball and concentrate on bringing up the ball without turning it over!! Grrr...

[HB22inSA]

Timmy looked like Nazr on that one.

[boutons_]

James and TOs gonna beat the Spurs.

[hussker]

HOWDY!

Game's not out of reach. Need a BIG 4th like yesterday

[SAtown]

This reminds me of the turnover stricken Spurs I've seen all my life.

[Manu20]

1:51 CLE - Full timeout (Timeout #3)
1:51 SA - Shot clock violation on T. Duncan
2:05 CLE - L. James drives to the hoop for a layup

Spurs are down 66-59.

[RashoFan]

I missed yesterdays game...I was working

[Spurologist]

wtf is up with the shot clock violations

[HB22inSA]

I don't think the Spurs have the energy for another comeback.

[carina_gino20]

come on Bruce! Put the chains on James!

[boutons_]

Cavs +13 shots

[HB22inSA]

This 7-point deficit feels like 14.

[RashoFan]

Kiwi is in the game!!!!

[milkyway21]

there's too much offensive fouls already :cuss

can't anybody -> particularly Bowen, stop James?
:cry

[carina_gino20]

yes! Barry for a lay-up

[HB22inSA]

Lebron just punked the whole Spurs defense!!!

[RashoFan]

Damn a slam by Lebron.....

[carina_gino20]

then James answers with a dunk...

[bendmz]

Hometown Refs........u Think !!!!!!

[HB22inSA]

an't anybody -> particularly Bowen, stop James?
No, Lebron is schooling him.

[milkyway21]

[HB22inSA]

Spurs getting run out of the gym.

[Duff McCartney]

Damn what the hell is this bullshit.

[Pistons < Spurs]

35 already? damn. Where is Bowen?

[HB22inSA]

Lebron will hit 50 tonight.

[carina_gino20]

Lebron James is toying with the Spurs...and we can't seem to come up with anything but fouls and turnovers.

and now Barry gives James 3 more points

[dimsah]

THIS IS BS. Someone do something, anything! Fuck!

[HB22inSA]

Damn what the hell is this bullshit.
It's called the Spurs have no sense of history and aren't motivated enough to go for their 10th straight win and sweep the road trip.

[RashoFan]

Nazr at the line # 1 is bad....#2 is good...end of the 3rd...Cle 71 SA 62

[Tek_XX]

man if TP doesn't bring it, we struggle big time. And BTW absolute brillancy by pop even thinking Barry could guard Lebron.

[loveforthegame]

Turnovers and missed free throws are going to do us in. Not to mention that no one can slow James down.

[WalterBenitez]

Is there any way to win this game??

[Manu20]

Spurs are down 71-62. End of the third.

[dimsah]

Someone set fire to the chia pet to. I don't want to hear his name again.

[bendmz]

look like the Spurs who used to play in the ARENA.......

[HB22inSA]

This is where Pop's ho-hum "we don't care about winning streaks" attitude hurts the team.

They have a great chance to do something special, but Pop has them convinced that it's not important.

Oh well, it's off to bed.

Maybe they can win in Philly and go 7-1.

[Spurologist]

Looks like tp forgot to pack his balls tonight. more turnovers than points.

[milkyway21]

what a perfect way to go to the ASG for LeBron winning against the Spurs, huh!

:nope:nope:nope


Go Spurs!

[E20]

9 point lead by the Cavs. Spurs playing like crap and foul-ridden, I'll take it.

Spurs 4th quarter come-back is about to begin.

[manu]

has manu dunked yet?

[Leetonidas]

A lot of the calls have been bullshit, and some of LeBron's shots have just been downright lucky. Spurs only down 9, they can do it. Down 7 yesterday with 2:45 to go, I think they can come back from 9 with 12:00. They just need someone to stop LeBron for a few minutes. No one else on the Cavs can stop the Spurs.

[bendmz]

man if TP doesn't bring it, we struggle big time. And BTW absolute brillancy by pop even thinking Barry could guard Lebron.
:lmao

[boutons_]

I hope the Spurs are enjoying the show James is putting on. nobody seems to have a clue how defend him. Nazr had him stopped on the baseline and let him past for a highlight reverse dunk. pussy.

[Tek_XX]

Just looking at Parker you can tell he won't be giving us much tonight.

[E20]

has manu dunked yet?
Manu is in foul trouble. The Cavs are packing it inside making it pretty hard to do anything in the paint.

[Trifecta]

I cannot see the game from Cali -- Are the SPURS even trying to double team James?

I say let the rest of the Cavs try to beat us -- James has already made his contribution for the evening!

Sure would be nice if our bench showed up!

[hussker]

Just looking at Parker you can tell he won't be giving us much tonight.


PROBABLY WON'T BE GETTING MUCH EITHER!

[RashoFan]

Start of the 4th...Kiwi, NVE, Barry, Manu, Nazr are in

[Spurologist]

fuck. even scrubs are scoring now

[Tek_XX]

trading baskets won't work. spurs lose.

[ShoogarBear]

When Eric Snow hits shit like that, it ain't your night.

[RashoFan]

time out Spurs 64
Cavs 79

[HB22inSA]

Spurs 4th quarter come-back is about to begin.

Spurs down by 15!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lmao

[Leetonidas]

Down 15? Geez, someone put Timmy back in. And put Beno in as well, I think he could hit some shots and run the point effectively.

[WalterBenitez]

:pctoss Holy shit, down by 15

[bendmz]

guess you would call this " The Young Overtaking The OLD"

[Manu20]

9:21 SA - Full timeout (Timeout #4)
9:26 CLE - Z. Ilgauskas makes a 7-foot hook shot along the left baseline. Assist: E. Snow

Spurs down 79-64.

[milkyway21]

i hope Bowen will give James hard time in the next Q. Man, he did it before there's no way he can't do it again.

and those offensive fouls turnovers has got to stop!

[Spurologist]

10:30 CLE - E. Snow makes a 23-foot jumper from the left wing
11:18 CLE - S. Graham makes a 16-foot jumper along the left baseline. Assist: Z. Ilgauskas

When this happens, you can book a L in the column

[ploto]

Marks and Nazr can't cover Ilgauskus!!

[E20]

15 point lead by the Cavs. Spurs need to get it together. Damn.

[Tek_XX]

Thank you pop.....this scrub unit really worked, now we're down even more. It's not just the players who are losing this game.

[dimsah]

Obviously, the Spurs saw the new power rankings and said "Fuck that"
What kind of lineup is in the game right now.

Van Exel
Manu
Barry
Marks
Nazr

[ploto]

They all look tired. :(

[Tek_XX]

Brown>Pop

[Supergirl]

SPurs now down by 15. This is a disaster of a game. Why isn't Bowen guarding Lebron? Why aren't they doubling him?

[Duncanoypi]

whats up with that repetition of that high definition of FSN Ohio a the beginning of the game...now it all f*uck up....its so dark.....

[ploto]

Obviously, the Spurs saw the new power rankings and said "Fuck that"
What kind of lineup is in the game right now.

Van Exel
Manu
Barry
Marks
Nazr

The all-no-defense team, except Manu!

[TwoHandJam]

Doesn't look like it's going to be our night tonight. The Cavs got embarrassed the night before by a shorthanded Warriors team and now they're out for blood. On top of that they get a chance to show up the champs on a back-to-back in the middle of the road trip from hell. Just too much shit to overcome tonight.

[bendmz]

Beanooooooooooooooo

[dimsah]

They all look tired. :(
Tell them to take their geritol and start playing some fuckin basketball.

[Trifecta]

Cavs -- 16 more shots plus 9 less turnovers!

Not a recipe we can overcome if this continues! I would love to see the SPURS D do the 4th qtrs clamp down like they did yesterday at Indiana.

[TwoHandJam]

Finley + Barry < 0?

[milkyway21]

whoaa! 15-pt advantage

gee, i can see a r_d_ _t smiling!

#1 Power ranking is a curse.

sniff! sniff!

[RashoFan]

Yeah Beno!!!!

[E20]

I think the Spurs will still win.

[bendmz]

hey the BEAN with a three !!!!!!!!

[RashoFan]

Beno for threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Solvenia Mafia ..start cheering...

[Tek_XX]

If pop was wise he'd play Beano more but he's probably more worried about Van Exels feelings

[TwoHandJam]

Gotta like Beano's moxie right now.

[Manu20]

7:09 CLE - Full timeout (Timeout #4)
7:15 SA - B. Udrih makes a 26-foot three-pointer from the left wing. Assist: T. Duncan

[Brutalis]

I think the Spurs will still win.
holding you to that

[Leetonidas]

Down 15? Geez, someone put Timmy back in. And put Beno in as well, I think he could hit some shots and run the point effectively.

Did I call that or what? :spin

[Leetonidas]

WTF? Foul on Manu?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

lets not get too excited we still have a looooooooong way to go and time is running out. we HAVE to make some stops!!

[bendmz]

5 on Manu...

[RashoFan]

Damn Manu just picked up his 5 PF

[Pistons < Spurs]

5 on manu

[bendmz]

Beanoooooooo

[RashoFan]

James with another 2 pts..Spurs 69 Cavs 83
Beno hits another 3 pt Spurs 72 Cavs 83

[sanman53]

They all look tired. :(

Maybe we could put Finley in, he hasnt played in a few weeks. Im sure he is well rested.

Just joking

[Spurologist]

Is something wrong with tp?

[RashoFan]

Graham just fouled Fin

[TwoHandJam]

Steven Graham - yeah right. I hate it when NBDL players have career nights.

[Tek_XX]

Why doesn't Pop play Beano more????

[RashoFan]

iLDASKUS JUST FOULED TIM

[RashoFan]

Tim's ft#1 is good his is 5-6, #2 is bad 5-7 73 Spurs Cavs 85

[Brutalis]

[RashoFan]
