[timvp]

Gordon on fiyah.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Oberto's gonna make Big Ben pay for his dry cleaning. :smokin

[timvp]

Elson on the board!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timvp]

Only took him 25 minutes to get a rebound.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Omfg

[timvp]

Duhon shot from half court and Elson's head blocked it. Will it count??

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

How are you watching the game?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

And BTW, it does count according to the NBA.com boxscore.

[timvp]

Cell phone.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

There's a Smith on the team? On the NBA.com boxscore there's a J. Smith.

Jamar Smith. Nevermind.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Jamar Smith.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Austin NBDL, IIRC.

[timvp]

Spurs need to get Butler in there. Smith and Elson are getting torn up.

[boutons_]

30 Bulls pts 1st qtr, nobody playing D, and Bulls shooting 50%

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Elson's on fire. 3 rebounds.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Butler's replacing him.

[ChumpDumper]

Jamar had five boards in six minutes?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Holy shit

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Melzer with a 3, an assist, a rebound, and a block on PJ Brown.

[timvp]

Jamar had five boards in six minutes?

Sounds better than it was.

[ChumpDumper]

That's what I figured.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

TimTim made a 3? Was that like to get rid of it or he decided to?

[timvp]

[WalterBenitez]

That really works with me, thanks ... I mean we are loosing and/or Bulls want this game!

[T Park]

Butler has at least one blocked shot.

BTW, its working on ESPN Game Cast

Ive got the Cardinals and SPurs both on the screen :lol

[T Park]

Poor Butler, hes in there with a really realllllly bad lineup :lol

[T Park]

Barry 0-2

coulda knocked me over with a feather :rolleyes

[timvp]

Butler just sent a shot by Wallace. Nasty.

[Spurologist]

Bonner drove the right baseline and hits the side of the backboard.

That about sums up the night

[timvp]

Elson checks in. He's going against that giant Lithuanian. He should do good.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Did I see right? Does Wallace have ten boards?

Goddamnit.

[ColoradoSpursFan]

bonner for 2!

[Spurologist]

What's the word on Beno. Is he headed to Maccabi?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

He's going to go get some Revlon.

[Spurologist]

The master at work

Elson with an offensive foul

[T Park]

:lol

Gotta love spurs fans bagging on their own.


Its preseason and 2 or 3 guys are in the 5 right now wont even get minutes this year.


Once again, peeps, uh, its preseason......................................... ........

[Spurologist]

Didn't Bonner win a dunk contest. Dude barely gets off the ground and gets capped by Tyrus Thomas. Nice Block.

Then Thomas gets a dunk on the other end.

It's preseason but Spurs need to show some pride. I don't think the spurs have a layup for entire second half. Fuck it.

[ChumpDumper]

Preseason pride!

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Boner out. Butler in.

[Spurologist]

Elson can do no wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another turnover.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

On the IR for the season: Melzer/Elson/Beno

[timvp]

Elson scorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrres.

[timvp]

It only took him 50 minutes :elephant

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Are you serial?

[T Park]

8 rebounds tonight.

Im sure the spinsters will spin that as bad.

[timvp]

Props for 8 rebounds.

Going against Andrucaslkdhfawefcus and Scheanwecnsher helps tho. [/spin]

[T Park]

It only took him 50 minutes

Yeah hes practically equalling the fantastic unbeatable all star Jackie Butler.

So much for the golden child.

[T Park]

Going against Andrucaslkdhfawefcus and Scheanwecnsher helps tho

If Butler put up 8 rebounds tonight there would be about 5 threads explaining the greatness that is Jackie Butler.

[timvp]

Good to see T Park backing the next center scrub. Congrats.

[T Park]

Whos backing who.

Just balancing it all out here.

Being objective.



He gets 8 rebounds but gets nothing for that.



Whatever.


Elson sucks were doomed fire pop


go about your business.

[timvp]

Props for 8 rebounds.

:reading

[Obstructed_View]

Stats only matter when they make the player you hate look bad.

[Obstructed_View]

The starters were really feelin' it tonight, eh?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Should've kept Oberto in. They are trying to get him more involved this year and he only plays 8 minutes? :wtf

[Marcus Bryant]

Free Agency 2015 is ours!

[itzsoweezee]

Should've kept Oberto in. They are trying to get him more involved this year and he only plays 8 minutes? :wtf

yeah, it makes absolutely no sense. will spurs fans finally come to the realization that popovich is not very good at this? riding duncan's coattails can only get you so far. and at the level the league is at now, that means no championship.

:dramaquee

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Don't be such a sore weiner about itsoweezee. Oberto will still break out. :)

[itzsoweezee]

popovich follows the larry brown method of coaching the knicks. if things aren't working, don't make any coaching adjustments or think strategy, just change up the lineup. and do that over and over again. it won't help your team any, but at least it looks like you're doing something.

[ChumpDumper]

WWBHD?

[milkyway21]

i checked the results...

we lost another again? :D

Bulls 99, Spurs 67

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -Ben Gordon scored 19 points in 21 minutes to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 99-67 preseason victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night.

Although the new-look Bulls (4-0) used eight players who were not with the team last season, Gordon and the other holdovers led the way.

Gordon was 7-of-12 from the field, including making five of his first six shots. Kirk Hinrich scored 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting and had five assists in 19 minutes.

With the Spurs trailing by six points, Gordon and Hinrich scored the Bulls' first 12 points in the third quarter when Chicago scored 14 straight points.

Tim Duncan scored 11 points in 12 minutes for the Spurs (2-2). None of the Spurs' starters played beyond the first quarter.

The last time the Bulls had an undefeated preseason was before the 1992-93 season when Chicago won a third straight NBA title before Michael Jordan retired for the first time and played baseball.

Chicago has four games remaining in the preseason.



i guess the Spurs were taking it easy on this game, 19 pts for Gordon for 21 minutes? where's Bowen? ->:sleep ? :lol

Yeah, why did he only play the starters for one quarter? WTF? :madrun

[chevcmr68]

the only good thing i saw at the game was eva longoria........it was a good view.....lol GO SPURS........

[wildbill2u]

Yeah, why did he only play the starters for one quarter? WTF? :madrun
Pops Taking a look at the new guys and the possible bench. It's called 'pre-season'. :drunk

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Pop, please start Elson in the regular season.........i got vbookie riding on it

[loveforthegame]

Melvin Sanders didn't play because Popovich wanted to take a longer look at the other five players with non-guaranteed contracts. He made his first three cuts after the game, waiving center Jared Reiner and swingmen Rich Melzer and Olu Famutimi.

[SequSpur]

Free Agency 2015 is ours!


:clap Somebody gets it.

[ATX Spur]

While recognizing that Elson is still learning the system, Popovich likes the potential of the team's new 7-foot center.

"He's shown me some things I didn't think he had," Popovich said. "I think he can play one-on-one basketball. I think I can isolate him in certain situations with the right people. I'm not sure if he even believes that yet.

"He's got some really quick feet. He's got a great first step. I think a big, big dose of confidence and understanding the role might make him a much better player than people have seen in the past."

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

BOOYA! That Eason guy is Da Troof :smokin

Frankie vs Camby - I can see it now :lol

[ChumpDumper]

waiving center Jared Reiner and swingmen Rich Melzer and Olu Famutimi.I'm a little surprised Melzer didn't last longer, but if Jamar Smith built on his summer league play, I'm less surprised that he stuck for now.

Well that would be downright logical!
