The Miami Heat may be the defending NBA champions, but the San Antonio Spurs are playing more like champs.

San Antonio looks to win its ninth straight home meeting against a Miami team missing Shaquille O'Neal when the Spurs and Heat face each other Wednesday night at the AT&T Center.

The Spurs (9-2) have won 18 of 19 meetings with the Heat in San Antonio all-time. The lone exception was a 90-79 Miami victory on Dec. 23, 1996.

San Antonio is currently playing well against all opponents as it looks for its fourth straight win. The Spurs will try to improve to 4-2 at home.

San Antonio improved to 6-0 on the road with Monday's 107-98 win over Portland. Tim Duncan scored 13 of his 25 points in the third quarter and Manu Ginobili had 18 of his 25 in the fourth as the Spurs rallied from a 10-point, second-half deficit to win.

"We are really playing better on the road than at home," Ginobili said. "We have a better mentality. We grind games out for 48 minutes."

Ginobili, whose shooting has been inconsistent to start the season, had his best offensive night of the season, shooting 9-for-14 from the field, including 6-for-6 in the fourth quarter.

"I needed a game like this," Ginobili said. "I don't know if it's going to be a turnaround for the whole season, but it's good for my confidence."

Ginobili is averaging 15.9 points and shooting 14-for-27 from 3-point range in eight career games versus Miami.

With O'Neal out of the lineup for up to six weeks after left knee surgery, the 6-foot-11 Duncan has a good chance to improve his career numbers against Miami. Duncan is averaging 20.7 points and 13.2 rebounds in 14 career games against the Heat.

All-Star guard Dwyane Wade continues to try to keep the Heat (4-6) afloat until O'Neal is healthy enough to return.

Wade had 29 points Tuesday, but Miami lost 101-86 to the New Orleans Hornets on Tuesday -- the fourth defeat in five games for the Heat. The rest of Miami's starters scored 24 points combined.

Miami scored only 15 points and shot 19 percent from the field in the fourth quarter. The Heat are shooting 41.4 percent as a team this season.

"We know we've got to stick together, that's the main thing," said Wade, who fell one shy of his third 30-point game in the last four. "We've been going through the ups, we've been through the downs. The one thing we didn't do last year is we never pointed the finger at each other. We know how it works, but we've got to get it going. ... We're a couple men down, but we've got to always stick together."

Wade enjoyed great success against San Antonio last season, averaging 33.5 points in two games. The Spurs won both meetings.

great post.

[LEONARD]

The Heat roll...

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

The Heat roll...

Antoine Walker indeed has many rolls that prevent him from being the player he thinks he is.

[jman3000]

for some reason this game has let down written on it... we have a tendency to play down to our competetion... so it might be closer than anticipated...

[jman3000]

mmmm... heat rolls....

[sandman]

Is the game televised locally? We hope to get into SA around halftime, assuming we can get out of Houston on time.

What a great holiday: being back in SA w/ family, Spurs tonight, Cowboys tomorrow and 'Horns on Friday.

My35.

Which means I can expect about four calls tonight asking what channel My35 is on.

[MannyIsGod]

Its on ESPN. I will be watching ESPN, because this is the first god damn Spurs game I will get to see in HD.

[sandman]

Damn, prolly won't make it in to see the game now. Took the car in for a balance/rotate and the damn Z-rated tires are bald after 20K. Thought I still had 5K left on them. Now I have to dish out $500 for new tires and have to listen to the game on the radio because we can't leave town on time. :bang

Freakin' sweet. This is the first game I've been able to catch on TV this year. Every other game, it's been a very weak WOAI signal. (We live 500 mi away!)

I am thankful to my in-laws in Corpus, who have DirectTV and, thus, ESPN.

[Sam]

Yeah that might be it. They're so used to 8 PM ET.

Love the early games. I get to go to bed at a decent time or at least watch some of the college games. Those 10:00 starts suck

[Don Quixote]

Is it just me, or is Antoine Walker's picking up 2 early fouls not such a bad thing for Miami?

[Sam]

Man J-Will cleaned up and doesn't look like a thug

[Sam]

We're going to have to start getting position, blocking out and rebounding the ball.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Nice Block!

[joeyjfive]

Gotta hate when he fumbles the ball

[Sam]

I was hoping with all the players Miami had out that we would get some playing time for the bench and some rest before the Mavs game.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

To be fair to Beno, Doleac was in the circle.
Yeah that should have been ignored. It would have been a good offensive play.

[Sam]

:pctoss GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
SPURS BE BACK later got to fix a computer :pctoss at someone's house :pctoss
Later, Ducks

[Sam]

Are the Spurs doing Thanksgiving dinner at a shelter again this year?

[joeyjfive]

I was hoping with all the players Miami had out that we would get some playing time for the bench and some rest before the Mavs game.


Yeah thats what I was hoping also but whenever Wade is on the other team and he gets going, it usually means a close game for the nite.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

He's carrying them. I don't blame him for being wore out.
Yeah. Sucks that Shaq's out. And I think the other Champion teammates coupled with injuries, age, are probably too complacent to help him out.

[Sam]

Just seems like a lot of the things in the community that the Spurs do don't get reported by the national media.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Walker's dumb.

[Sam]

Walker is the fouling machine tonight

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Wow... 4 turnovers already?? Sounds like Manu is playing like crap

[Sam]

Not sure that Horry should have gotten that charge

[joeyjfive]

Man Walker takes some dumb shots.

[Sam]

BARRY'S IN THE GAME!!! Light it up, Bones

[Don Quixote]

Going to have to splurge for League Pass then buddy. It's great.

Whatever! We don't even have cable in our FEMA trailer! Rebuilding is expensive.

Go Spurs!

[joeyjfive]

Manu's been striped twice i think

[Sam]

Wade to the bench. We need to turn it on right now. Force them to bring him back in and wear him out some more.

[Sam]

Nice block, Horry

[joeyjfive]

MANU three!!!1

[Don Quixote]

And that's a Manu Tres

[themvp]

Time for Tim.

Francisco was the speaker of one of my all-time favorite quotes. Regarding KG: "I think he's gay. He touched me in my private parts." And he said that in front of the national media!

KG's reaction could have been justifiable homicide.

Elson's fast! Good execution !

Let's get another foul on him and get him on the bench.

To be fair to Beno, Doleac was in the circle.

He was passing it. The circle only applies when the player is in the act of shooting, no?

[joeyjfive]

Is Jackie Butler In Warm Ups??

[Sam]

Whos Kara Lawson
Sideline reporter for ESPN this game. She played for the Lady Vols in college and I believe plays for Sacramento in the WNBA.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Let's get another foul on him and get him on the bench.
That's why he's so dumb. He was supposed to help the Heat out, and he fouls two stupid fouls in the first 2 minutes of the 1st quarter. Then he's back in for the beginning of the 2nd. He fouls again! :lol

Walker is on my fantasy team :oops

[joeyjfive]

Does it??


I have no idea

[Mr. Body]

Does it??

Yes, I believe so. Otherwise the basket doesn't really exist as far as the play is concerned.

There was a famous one vs. Detroit in the Finals. Ben Wallace barelled over our man (can't remember who) and wanted a foul because the play was under the basket, but he wasn't shooting.

[joeyjfive]

ahhhh Tim got Rim checked

barry!

[Sam]

Not sure why everyone posts the play by play in here. Can't people get that from another site if they want it?

[Don Quixote]

LOL so KG hates two Spurs??? Because he doesn't like Bonner either since Bonner threw him to the floor on a hard foul and then the fans gave Bonner a standing ovation.


I like KG, though. Extremely talented, unselfish. And, really, wouldn't playing your whole career with the likes of Step-on Marbury, Spree, Cassell, and Ricky Davis as your wingmen drive you a little batty too? Not to mention a front office that got docked 4 picks over Joe Smith?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Wade's doing a good effort. I'm liking Barry's shot more and more. I hope this carries over for some Playoff Bombs Daggers for the Spurs.

Ah man.. don't do this Heat. I want to see a GAME! not another disappointing blow out

[Sam]

tech on wade for seemed like no reason whatsoever
He threw the ball into the post.

[Mr. Body]

Irritating tech on Wade. Oh well.

[Sam]

Payton got it for griping and whining.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

ohh sorry i thought it was walker
Aww that would have been funny.

[Sam]

The heat are falling apart pretty fast

[Mr. Body]

This game looked alot better for ESPN when they were planning the schedule a few months back.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Wade with the technical
That sucks. Wade's busting his ass. I hate these new rules. Ruins the mood of the game for b oth teams.

[Sam]

Let's blow it wide open so our bench players can get in there and get some work done.

[Chris]

Still hyped about that Elson block. Things are getting ugly for the Heat :toast

[Mr. Body]

Do we have to see Eric Williams in garbage time instead of Jackie Butler?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Payton got it for griping and whining.
What's new. Stupid Payton.

[lefty]

Damn, what with the T's ? u can't talk to the refs anymore??

[joeyjfive]

This game looked alot better for ESPN when they were planning the schedule a few months back.


It always does, buts its always a few seconds delayed.

[Sam]

That sucks. Wade's busting his ass. I hate these new rules. Ruins the mood of the game for b oth teams.
He knows he can't throw the ball. What if he would have been off and instead of hitting the post...he would have hit a little ball boy or something? He has to contain his emotions some since he's a role model for them.

[joeyjfive]

Do we have to see Eric Williams in garbage time instead of Jackie Butler?


Is Butler suited to play?

[themvp]

It's not over yet. Remember - they're champions so...

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Let's blow it wide open so our bench players can get in there and get some work done.
I guess there's good in it. And the big 3 can rest for the Mavs. But I don't get to watch many games.

[Sam]

Damn, what with the T's ? u can't talk to the refs anymore??
Not really since they are wanting them to tone it down some. I'm just glad Tim quit whining some.

Besides Wade's game. Heat are an ugly team to watch.

[Sam]

Wish we would run some pick and roll with Barry and Duncan so they can pick their poison.

[joeyjfive]

hahah nice little sequence

[Mr. Body]

Is it me or does Oberto have a vastly improved stroke over last year?

[Sam]

Put Beno, Bonner and Elson in for the rest of the half. Let's rest the starters some.

[Sam]

Is it me or does Oberto have a vastly improved stroke over last year?
Yeah he's getting the playing time and has the confidence this year.

[joeyjfive]

ohhhh great play by tony!!

Barry is murdering the Heat

[joeyjfive]

[Sam]

Barry is just flat out stroking it. We have to get him the ball more.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Parker is on tonight. More rest for Tim and Manu.

38:20 2nd Q

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Payton is too old for Tony.
Yeah...Payton has nightmares of Tony a lot.

Tony's taking advantage of the match up this game.

[peskypesky]

I'm wondering how different this game would be with Shaq in the paint. Somehow, I don't think Parker would be getting those and-1's, and I KNOW Elson woudn't have grabbed that offensive rebound from THREE Miami players.

That being said, Parker, Barry, Duncan and the rest are making me happy and putting a smile on my face! :)

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Wow! That last layup by Tony was awesome.
He's the best at finishing.

[Sam]

I need Lebron to have a great night for my fantasy team.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I'm wondering how different this game would be with Shaq in the paint. Somehow, I don't think Parker would be getting those and-1's, and I KNOW Elson woudn't have grabbed that offensive rebound from THREE Miami players.

That being said, Parker, Barry, Duncan and the rest are making me happy and putting a smile on my face! :) It's fun to be a fan on coast. An easy W.

Though this game without Shaq and their slumping start makes Heat look like a Scrub team + a determined Wade. I''ll probably change the channel if it's like a disparity of 30 points and that Bonner guy is throwing 3 -Bombs for the rest of the fourth.

[Shaolin-Style]

Poor Timmy, I can't remember the rim ever blocking him like that.

I had no clue until tonight that Barry was that high in 3pt% Maybe they'll have him at the shootout.

[Sam]

Poor Timmy, I can't remember the rim ever blocking him like that.

Let's hope so. I would like to have an all Spurs all star break for a change.

[Don Quixote]

I'm surprised they haven't shown Eva yet. She not there for the holidays?

More Eva, please. :toast

Great half by the Spurs. Like I said, they just clowned around in the 1st Q. When they got serious, they dominated.

I'm not saying that all the Spurs ever have to do is play hard and they win (they almost always play hard, as do all good pros). But tonight, they played "less hard" in the 1st.

[peskypesky]

Poor Timmy, I can't remember the rim ever blocking him like that.

Hasn't Tim blown 2 dunks tonight?

[joeyjfive]

Theres really nothing to complain about at this point if your a spurs fan

[peskypesky]

How scary will the Spurs be if f-ing Finley ever gets his s--- together?

[Sam]

Hasn't Tim blown 2 dunks tonight?
Yeah he has. He looks tired. Maybe he didn't sleep last night or nap today.

[lefty]

This is too easy
I hope the Dallas Chokers will give us some challenge on Friday

[smeagol]

Where the fuck are the Barry haters???!!!!!

[Sam]

You guys see where Butler is upsetting #21 Tennessee on ESPN2?

[Don Quixote]

Where are all the Mavs fans tonight? Don't they want to watch the game with us?

[peskypesky]

Yeah he has. He looks tired. Maybe he didn't sleep last night or nap today.

Well, in any case, I'm glad he's trying to throw down. I like an aggressive, attitudinal Timmie. :spin

[Sam]

Where the fuck are the Barry haters???!!!!!
Definitely not here

[Sam]

How scary will the Spurs be if f-ing Finley ever gets his s--- together?
And Horry

[Don Quixote]

They need to get better looking WNBA players to work the sidelines. Sue Bird?

[Sam]

Where are all the Mavs fans tonight? Don't they want to watch the game with us?
They are already eating some turkey to get fattened up for us on Friday.

[Sam]

They need to get better looking WNBA players to work the sidelines. Sue Bird?
Definitely especially ones with a little more personality too.

[TDfan2007]

Tim and1

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Damn Manu's pass to tim was quick.

[Sam]

Dorrel Wright has the athletic ability but just don't know if he's smart enough to play on a regular basis.

[TDfan2007]

well it looks like Tim's back in his FT funk. 5-9 last game and 1-3 tonight.

[Sam]

Parker needed to pass the ball that time. He was pushing it some.

[Sam]

Riles going to get a technical

[themvp]

well it looks like Tim's back in his FT funk. 5-9 last game and 1-3 tonight.

psssssssst
