Spurs @ Cavs Game Blog

[ShoogarBear]

Stop bitching, Tim, you're getting used.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

this is pathetic

[VaSpursFan]

team is playing real soft and wanting the refs to bail him out

[angel_luv]

Whoa Pop!

[MannyIsGod]

God damnit Pop. Why are you giving away points in a close fucking game?

[angel_luv]

Wow- Pop was about to throw some ref down!

[Spurologist]

Manu should have bought a ticket. He would have been better off just watching the game.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

On a night where we were playing Spurs basketball and had Cleveland in lock down, Pop trots out the lamest five of all time to start the fourth. It took the Cavs all of two minutes to erase the lead and in the course of it get Hughes into a zone.

Way to go Pop, you fuck up.

[01Snake]

God we SUCK tonight.

[MannyIsGod]

The body language of this team is atrocious right now. They look beaten. The Utah game may amount to a one game mirage.

[boutons_]

wow, what an ugly game. Any team that hits a couple baskets is gonna win, and right, that's the Cavs. Spurs sucking horribly.

[E20]

Spurs are gonna lose. Nobody is playing well, it's just one of those nights.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

STFU Tim, quit whining and nut up.

If Oberto knew how to make a damn layup we'd be better


Pop is gone

[angel_luv]

Pop got ejected! :wow

[Emanuel20]

man is manu has a couple more games like this one he might be gone (traded)

[angel_luv]

Fans were throwing stuff at him! Apparently Pop was pissed about the lack of calls along the baseline.

[boutons_]

Pop goes nutz, ejected, gameover.

Way to go Pop, you fuck up.Dude, get off the lineup. Its not that bad. You have Manu/Barry/Beno who all work together very well. Bonner has played very well. Oberto is the weakest link out there but you have to rest Tim at some point.

[Spurologist]

POP is fucked in the head

[Spurologist]

seriously

[Amarelooms]

If the Spurs play like this againts the Mavs Friday...will the Spurs lose by 30 or 40 points?

[VaSpursFan]

pop didn't want to hang around for the shitty game

[ShoogarBear]

Pop got ejected? WTF?

AHF, let me start the thread tonight . . .

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pop gets tossed? What a pussy move!!!! Get owned with your white boy five, so you just give up on the game? Lame.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

well there goes the game


if this is what CLE can do to us the dallas game is gonna be ugly

[Spurs Brazil]

PJ also with a T

[E20]

- T. Duncan missed a 4-foot jumper in the lane

Now, that sounds pretty fucking gay.

Duncan misses a four footer. That reads incredibly weak if you're following the play-by-play. Makes Duncan look like a pussy.

[Emanuel20]

at who,pop?

[boutons_]

After scoring 10 pts in the 3rd, Spurs losing 4th qtr 9 - 20.

Dude, get off the lineup. Its not that bad. You have Manu/Barry/Beno who all work together very well. Bonner has played very well. Oberto is the weakest link out there but you have to rest Tim at some point.

That line up was -11 tonight. Yep, it was a great lineup. Good call.

[Spurologist]

- T. Duncan missed a 4-foot jumper in the lane

Now, that sounds pretty fucking gay.

Duncan misses a four footer. That reads incredibly weak if you're following the play-by-play. Makes Duncan look like a pussy.

that wouldn't be far off

[angel_luv]

A huge lead loss, three techs ( two on Pop and one on P.J.), Pop being ejected- the Spurs come back from behind and this game will be officially awesome!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

- T. Duncan missed a 4-foot jumper in the lane

Now, that sounds pretty fucking gay.

Duncan misses a four footer. That reads incredibly weak if you're following the play-by-play. Makes Duncan look like a pussy.

He went up at Varejao, Marshall blocked him from behind.

[boutons_]

Cavs shutdown Tim, shutdown the paint, Spurs dead in the water.

[Amarelooms]

Ducan got away with an offensive foul and big surprise the Spurs whine as usual lol

[ShoogarBear]

Tim blows another layup but get the rebound. Stop blaming the refs and pull your head out.

[MannyIsGod]

Big fucking deal AHF. I can go back and find games where the starting 5 was -20. Its one game.

[VaSpursFan]

lbj schooling duncan...again

[Spurologist]

FUCK. Pop needs to teach some layup drills

[VaSpursFan]

wtf...bruce is scared 2 shoot

[Crookshanks]

Who the hell are these refs?! Cleveland can't win by themselves - so the refs are putting them on the line every other play! :ihit

Plus, the Spurs can't buy a basket tonight! What an ugly game... :bang

[T Park]

:lol

Of course its pop's fault.

Couldn't be his man Barrys or Ginobili.

[MannyIsGod]

The spurs are playing harder now.

[E20]

If Tim Duncan gets more than 22 points and 11 rebounds it will allright, but if the Spurs win and Tim gets that, then it will be celebration. If the least doesn't happen then this is gay.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Bowen has no business on the floor

[T Park]

If anything is on Pop, is forgettng Eric Williams on the end of the bench.

He can't tell me he couldn't do as good a job on LBJ, but hes longer and bigger!!!

[T Park]

Bonner's best game yet.

[MannyIsGod]

What a play by BARRY!!!!

[T Park]

A charge on Lebron?

GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!!! :eek

[VaSpursFan]

good job brent...they called a foul on cleveland

[MannyIsGod]

Bowen has no business on the floorLebron has one bucket in the 2nd half. CHeck yourself.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Big fucking deal AHF. I can go back and find games where the starting 5 was -20. Its one game.

One game where we had the whole pace of the game going our way and were in complete control, and gave it all up in two minutes with that lineup on the court.

[E20]

Nice charge. Manned up and took it into the groin.

[T Park]

I gotta hand it to Pop.

With these morons reffing the game, I would've been tossed in the second quarter.

[angel_luv]

I think Pop got himself ejected on purpose to fie the guys up.

[Spurologist]

A charge on Lebron?

GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!!! :eek

and it was a bad call at that.

even more laughable :lmao

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Lebron has one bucket in the 2nd half. CHeck yourself.

it's not b/c of bruce i can tell you that much

Bron always owns Bowen, as he's too big and physical for him

both teams are haivng bad offensive nights and it has nothing to do with the defense

[angel_luv]

CIA Pop

[SMLT]

Tony will make a three... 0/1 is not him anymore :o)

[Admidave50]

haha offensive on lebron

[MannyIsGod]

One game where we had the whole pace of the game going our way and were in complete control, and gave it all up in two minutes with that lineup on the court.How the hell was the pace going the Spurs way? Neither team could hit a shot. Its not like the Spurs were playing shutdown defense.

[VaSpursFan]

can we say maggette anyone...no one attacking the rim apart from tony. manu clanging jumpers left and right but refusing to penetrate...what is going on??

[T Park]

One game where we had the whole pace of the game going our way and were in complete control, and gave it all up in two minutes with that lineup on the court.



1. Theres a game tommarow night, Duncan cant go 40 mins and neither can Parker.

2. That lineup did pretty damn good in the first half. So be consistent with you critiques.

[Admidave50]

I think Pop got himself ejected on purpose to fie the guys up.

yeah that's for sure! CIA POP

[zocool16]

this is bullshit

[Amarelooms]

Duncan goal tended on his layup and that was not a charge...Spurs lucky to be this close...can they finish?

[MannyIsGod]

I think Pop got himself ejected on purpose to fie the guys up.I think thats a stupid way to get a team fired up considering how valuable points are in this game and how many you give away doing that. If the Spurs lose by 2 how great will it have been?

[zocool16]

we're gonna win

[angel_luv]

Did I miss the jokes about Pollard's Mohawk?

[themvp]

Why aren't the Spurs playing with that aggresivnes from the start?!

[angel_luv]

I think thats a stupid way to get a team fired up considering how valuable points are in this game and how many you give away doing that. If the Spurs lose by 2 how great will it have been?


Yea- I hate Techs for that reason.

[Spurologist]

I think Pop got himself ejected on purpose to fie the guys up.

Thank god because PJ actually knows how to coach

[MannyIsGod]

Duncan pisses me off

[T Park]

Remember when we wanted the Spurs to have a Donyell Marshall type player?

Hes playing for the Spurs now and wearing 15 :smokin

[1Parker1]

Manu hasn't made a FG this game?

[T Park]

Thank god because PJ actually knows how to coach


Yeah PJ's work with Portland and Golden State was stellar :rolleyes

[phxspurfan]

reading this is hilarious.


you know what sucks about this season that may end up ruining us? We have lost games in so many different ways, teams only need a few game tapes to break down our defense. In previous years, they had to search far and wide to figure out ways to beat us. now theyre getting creative and we are being exposed.

[MannyIsGod]

Why aren't the Spurs playing with that aggresivnes from the start?!Exactly. I was hoping this team would learn their lesson, but its the same bullshit over and over. Tim started off with hustle then quickly fell back into his regular BS routine. Even Manu has settled for far too many jumpers tonight.

Tony is carrying the team on his aggressiveness right now.

[zocool16]

where is ginobili man...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

1. Theres a game tommarow night, Duncan cant go 40 mins and neither can Parker.

2. That lineup did pretty damn good in the first half. So be consistent with you critiques.

1. No shit.

2. What does the first half have to do with them erasing our lead without Pop so much as calling a twenty second timeout?


Cleveland couldn't hit shit and we gave them life with that dumbass lineup.

[VaSpursFan]

Manu hasn't made a FG this game?

correct....yet he continues to fire up jumpers rather than attack the basket

[T Park]

Manu hasn't made a FG this game?

Nope, and VERY unagressive. Very dissapointing night from Ginobili.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I think thats a stupid way to get a team fired up considering how valuable points are in this game and how many you give away doing that. If the Spurs lose by 2 how great will it have been?

Agreed.

[Spurs Brazil]

2. That lineup did pretty damn good in the first half. So be consistent with you critiques.

Agree, Pop can't do anything if Oberto can't make a layup

[ShoogarBear]

It's embarrassing how many props the Cleveland announcers are trying to give the Spurs.

[Spurologist]

Yeah PJ's work with Portland and Golden State was stellar :rolleyes

Could pop at least pretend he's not fucking up. Advantage PJ

[T Park]

What does the first half have to do with them erasing our lead

They played a good first half, so you give em a second half, like you always wanted with Brent Barry?

Your boy, remember?

[phxspurfan]

70-67 cle

[MannyIsGod]

Why the fuck is the offense ending with a Bruce Bowen drive? Manu should know better. If you're going to do that, isolate Tony at the top.

[T Park]

Could pop at least pretend he's not fucking up. Advantage PJ




:lol

Yeah lets let the winner that is PJ coach.

Brilliant.

[Emanuel20]

who put gino in again gooooooooodddd
he can hold on to the ball

[ShoogarBear]

Duncan pisses me offDuncan, Pop, and Manu are all pissing me off.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

this is one of the worst performances by the spurs this entire season

after ll that talk after the milwaukee game we're back to square one

still making idiot mistakes every 2 minutes and other costly turnovers


we're just giving games away

no reason this shouldn't have been an easy win

[T Park]

How is that not over the back on Varaejo!??!

HOW!~?!??!?!!?!?!

[VaSpursFan]

where is the focus????

[Admidave50]

stupid turnovers! spurs had 3 opportunities to shoot a 3 pointer!

[Spurs Brazil]

We can't get a reb

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

They played a good first half, so you give em a second half, like you always wanted with Brent Barry?

Your boy, remember?

My boy? If I had my way "my boy" would be wearing a Clippers jersey right now.

Damn dude, dig up two year old quotes to try and defend an idiotic rotation that cost us the game tonight.

Horrible performances from Ginobili and others.


BTW, Barry, thats your FREAKIN MAN SHOOTING THREES DUNCE.


Where are the Barry homers at now?

Fucking Barry, get the friggen Stiff OUT OF HERE!

[1Parker1]

Ouch. I think that was the dagger...

[Amarelooms]

Will the Spurs at least get to 70?

[Emanuel20]

manu is worst....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... ..who loves manu now?


trade manu thread

[dimsah]

Fuck this team. They better take a good look in the mirror and figure out what it is they want to do.

[MannyIsGod]

Game over.

The Spurs let Cleveland become the first team to gain confidence and get hot down the stretch, and that cost them the game. I'm very unimpressed with the aggressiveness of our players outside of Parker and Bonner. I'm especially disappointed in Manu and Tim Duncan.

[Admidave50]

now cavs are making us ridiculous with a 9 pt advantage!

[T Park]

Yeah Brent, drive and pass.

Thats all your fucking good for.

Pussy.

[VaSpursFan]

i'm beginnig to think that pop really can't make in-game adjustments and cannot sense when momentum swings are occuring. he could have nipped this shit in the bud by switching that horrible lineup he started the 4th quarter earlier.

[ShoogarBear]

If Pop wanted to do something to fire up the team, he would have put Tim on the bench after his last ref bitchfest and told him he can go back on the floor when he stops bitching and friggin plays.

[angel_luv]

Gino and Timmy are both sick and both haven't really rested. Maybe it is catching up to them.

[zocool16]

fuck this when you cant get a break you cant get a break.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

manu is worst....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... ..who loves manu now?


????

There's a lot of blame to go around.

1. Pop's dumbass lineup to start the fourth.

2. Duncan's pussyness tonight in the fourth.

3. Ginobili 0-fer but keeps shooting jumpers.

4. Oberto can't make a fucking layup

5. Did I mention Pop's dumbass rotation to start the fourth? And then the candy ass gets ejected and gives Cleveland more momentum and free points all so he can try to protect his PF that played soft tonight.

[01Snake]

Spurs cannot play well on a regular basis. Keep this up and it will be a short post season.

[Admidave50]

B2B against wolves + game vs dallas is bad for us

[boutons_]

Cavs sweep the Spurs. fuck that shit.

[VaSpursFan]

we need to stop bullshitting and make a trade to shake this team up. as we stand now...i'd be surprised if we win the championship. too any chinks in the armor exposed very early in the season. cleveland has given the rest of the league the blue print on how to beat the spurs.

[Extra Stout]

This team reminds me of the late-'80s Celtics teams after they already had been eclipsed by first the Pistons, and then later the Bulls as well.

[Cherry]

.....who loves manu now?

I do
(i will survive this one, don´t worry)

[fred33]

all wanted the old ball this is the worst game

[1Parker1]

4th quarter: Cavs scored 33 points. Spurs only 19.

[Emanuel20]

we are not going to win against dallas (i am starting to think that they are the better team)

:tu

I also use to think our biggest problem was rebounding but apparently it's lack of heart as well

The whining going on with this team has hit ridiculous proportions and if we don't make some trades before the deadline I'll be surprised if we even get past round 2

how many more games like this and the milwaukee ones do we need before this team decides to wake the fuck up?

Of course, you can't win them all, but for a team trying to win a championship there is no reason to lose like this

[SMLT]

Bashing Barry ??? What about Manu then ??? Come on everybody can have off night... And one for Manu btw... Will it save the night for him ? Not sure :o(

[Dre_7]

Fin only 8 minutes? He shot 2-3. Manu played 27 minutes and shot 0-7?

What the hell? So when Fin is shooting like garbage he gets minutes, but if he starts off shooting well, he doesnt? Please explain that to me?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damon misses the first. I'm going to laugh when we lose this by the margin of Pop's stupid technicals.

[MannyIsGod]

I am severely questioning Tim Duncan's heart and desire right now.

[Amarelooms]

Good news Spurs fans...Mavs playing like crap in the 2nd quarter against the Supersonics....probably saw the piss poor play by the Spurs...thanks guys for f'n up the Mavs as well.

[E20]

I wish we had a player like T-Mac. 13 points in 30 seconds.

[2centsworth]

horribly officiated game.

[judaspriestess]

[SMLT]

We should have given the keys to TP earlier...

[angel_luv]

Someone needs to go Tracy McGrady on the Clev. Clowns :lol

[1Parker1]

Damn Tony Parker!!!

[MannyIsGod]

Damon misses the first. I'm going to laugh when we lose this by the margin of Pop's stupid technicals.No shit. No fucking shit. Those technicals were fucking retarded and he should fucking know better. I hope a reporter calls him out on that shit.

Yeah cause its horrible to defend your players.



You go to all lengths to put every loss on pop.

Pathetic

haha- great minds. I didn't see your post. :)

[gospursgojas]

Start Jacking 3s!!!

What the hell? So when Fin is shooting like garbage he gets minutes, but if he starts off shooting well, he doesnt? Please explain that to me?

that's pop, the coaching genius at work once again

[T Park]

Those technicals were fucking retarded and he should fucking know better

So next time one of his players gets hacked going down the lane, he shouldn't defend em?

ok....

[VaSpursFan]

this team has suffered many of these "tough" losses and have not responded well. i'd like to think this is a wakeup call but i thought the loss to charlotte was too.

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah cause its horrible to defend your players.



You go to all lengths to put every loss on pop.

PatheticI don't call going crazy at midcourt and giving away points defending your players. Especially in a very close low scoring game.

[MannyIsGod]

So next time one of his players gets hacked going down the lane, he shouldn't defend em?

ok....You're saying he should get tossed everytime a Spur gets hacked?

ok....

[boutons_]

Tim got bumped at the top of the key on a screen, and just fucking quit on the play, hung his head like he had been horribly screwed, while Tony drove the the basket and made the lay up.

Tim has serious, serious attitude problems.

What's with his martyrdom and sense of entitlement?

Gut up, motherfucker, play the game.

[Emanuel20]

Start Jacking 3s!!!

they can't hit 3s today

[T Park]

that's pop, the coaching genius at work once again

Yeah if we only had Bob Hill or John Lucas, we might be able to get over the hump.

[phxspurfan]

how did we let them drop 36 on us in the 4th quarter??

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yeah cause its horrible to defend your players.



You go to all lengths to put every loss on pop.

Pathetic


Hey ass, Duncan was playing like a pussy and crying for calls. Fuck defending him, he needs to nut up himself first before Pop gets involved.

Considering how much you suck Pop's dick about being a great coach you'd think he'd be good enough to realize you don't give up free points in a close game.

Suck it, carney.

[VaSpursFan]

Yeah cause its horrible to defend your players.



You go to all lengths to put every loss on pop.

Pathetic

as much as i love timmy...if you play like a pussy you don't deserve to be defended. pop should have spewed his venom at timmy. he wasn't really fouled on that play.

[T Park]

You're saying he should get tossed everytime a Spur gets hacked?

ok....

Im saying everytime they go down the lane, and not get a GD call, he should stand up for em and go after the refs, yes.

[1Parker1]

I bet the Spurs will end up winning this Friday against the Mavs. That's just the way they've been playing this entire season. Very inconsistently. Hard to know which team will show up.

[Emanuel20]

d in the 4 th was not very good

[Emanuel20]

d in the 4 th was not very good

[Emanuel20]

game over

[MannyIsGod]

Im saying everytime they go down the lane, and not get a GD call, he should stand up for em and go after the refs, yes.So, how many calls did TD get down the stretch? Man, sure would be nice if they didn't need a 4 point play to tie this game right here.

[Behrooz24]

We're gonna win, I feel it

[Amarelooms]

LOL at Parker getting GARBAGE POINTS...what a TOOL...he keeps taking the given layup when they need 3's

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yo, Tfart...

Spurs down 4 with 3.5 seconds to go. If Pop wasn't such a douche it would be a one point game with Spurs ball.

Still feel smart, carny?

[fred33]

tony has a very big heart

[SMLT]

And so many offense rebounds given... Not a good game for our spurs. Tomorrow's another day. Good night to all.

Peace

[Emanuel20]

nopeeee nooo way !!

[MannyIsGod]

Tim 6/15... Manu 1/8... Bruve 0/6... Oberto 2/7 for a whooping 9/36. Can we call it an off night for our offense ?Tim - not aggressive enough
Manu - DEFINETLY not aggressive enough. HOw many of those misses are 3s?

Bruce I can live with.

Oberto I wish wouldn't take that many shots if he's going to be off, but you can't fault him for taking layups, just for blowing them.

An off night of our offense? No. An unaggressive night by our offense.

[VaSpursFan]

Tim 6/15... Manu 1/8... Bruve 0/6... Oberto 2/7 for a whooping 9/36. Can we call it an off night for our offense ?

on nights like this, you find the hot hand and ride it. fin and horry were rolling a lil bit and they stayed on the bench.

[Amarelooms]

tony has a very big heart

Tony is stat padding and trying to build up his FG% and it is sad...sad indeed.

[angel_luv]

Ouch

[fred33]

Yo, Tfart...

Spurs down 4 with 3.5 seconds to go. If Pop wasn't such a douche it would be a one point game with Spurs ball.

Still feel smart, carny? if damon jones missed all free trows we'll can have a possesion for tie

[phxspurfan]

tony has a very big heart


tony pads his stats more than the average preteen girl.

[MannyIsGod]

LOL at Parker getting GARBAGE POINTS...what a TOOL...he keeps taking the given layup when they need 3'sThose quick 2s gave them a shot. It was smart.

[Emanuel20]

as i said game over

[phxspurfan]

Tony is stat padding and trying to build up his FG% and it is sad...sad indeed.


nice dude. great minds indeed.

[MannyIsGod]

You guys are fucking stupid. I promise you Tony was under orders to take that ball straight the hole from PJ.

[Dre_7]

Damn!

Oh well, theres a lot of season left. As long as they win tomorow and friday then I will be happy.

[itzsoweezee]

Yeah if we only had Bob Hill or John Lucas, we might be able to get over the hump.

or avery johnson. now that's a coach.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

on nights like this, you find the hot hand and ride it. fin and horry were rolling a lil bit and they stayed on the bench.

ANd people wonder why I was pissed at the All-Utah team to start the fourth...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

38 points allowed in the 4th

this isn't just the worst defensive team of the last 7 years, it's the worst team period


This season so far is worse than last


I just hope dallas and PHX drop their games so we can keep it close in the standings within a game or so

The way the SPurs played in the last 2 minutes is how the should've played the entire 4th quarter

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Those quick 2s gave them a shot. It was smart.

A lot smarter than getting a couple of Ts and getting tossed and giving your opponents a margin that your team couldn't overcome at the end.

[MannyIsGod]

nice dude. great minds indeed.:lmao

Idiots think alike is more like it. There was no stat padding. I promise you it was on coaches order.

[phxspurfan]

oh yeah the phx game is on!

38 points allowed in the 4th

this isn't just the worst defensive team of the last 7 years, it's the worst team period


This season so far is worse than last

That's what happens when you go sign some projects in the off-season and pass on trades like Maggette for Barry and Udrih.

[MannyIsGod]

Damn!

Oh well, theres a lot of season left. As long as they win tomorow and friday then I will be happy.Its not about them winning or losingk, its about how they show up. Many fans here have not been happy even when they win because they know its fools gold.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lmao

Idiots think alike is more like it. There was no stat padding. I promise you it was on coaches order.

I think the only people criticizing Tony have never played ball before. It almost worked, and would have if not for all those technicals given up by our 'genius' head coach.

[VaSpursFan]

Those quick 2s gave them a shot. It was smart.

absolutely...why take a difficult 3 when the other team is guarding the 3 point line when you can get a quick 2 and foul. that's the best approach becuz you are almost guaranteed 2 because the other team isn't going to foul. you're not guaranteed a 25 foot contested 3.

[SMLT]

Bashing TP... So usual... You don't deserve him... Was the only player on the court tonight for the Spurs... The others (those who played) didn't show anything... Could have been an easy win if not for our bird shooters...

[phxspurfan]

trade manu for desmond mason thread anyone

[ShoogarBear]

Anyone who saw the game who thinks Tony was stat padding deserves to wear tonight's Dunce Cap along with Pop, Tim, and Manu.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

That's what happens when you go sign some projects in the off-season and pass on trades like Maggette for Barry and Udrih.

I am a huge supproter for Barry, but as each day goes by, I'm leaning more and more towards Maggette


We need SOMETHING out there to light a fire under this team

[MannyIsGod]

[ShoogarBear]

44 points allowed in the first three quarters.

38 points allowed in the fourth.

That's a solid recipe for playoff success.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

tony was doing everything but stat padding you morons

[phxspurfan]

I think the only people criticizing Tony have never played ball before. It almost worked, and would have if not for all those technicals given up by our 'genius' head coach.


i never placed a negative connotation on the fact that tony pads like a preteen girl, im just saying he does

[1Parker1]

:lmao :lmao Parker is the only player who gives the Spurs a chance to even win it in the 4th quarter and there are posters calling him a "Stat-padder."

I've come to the conclusion that Parker just can't win with fans.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

This is a crazy idea but with Elson out, how about starting Bonner in place of Horry?

[ShoogarBear]

On the bright side, maybe they'll reconsider the Maggette trade now.

[MannyIsGod]

To be fair, if we need Corey fucking Magette as a savior, then this team probably isn't good enough with or without him. Magette isn't going to light a fire with his effort or hard work.

[phxspurfan]

seriously i dont think a trade will save us. you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him rebound or play defense

[Amuseddaysleeper]

To be fair, if we need Corey fucking Magette as a savior, then this team probably isn't good enough with or without him. Magette isn't going to light a fire with his effort or hard work.


but he gets to the FT line and rebounds decently


and in close games, getting more trips to the charity stripe can be the difference between a win or a loss, no?

[VaSpursFan]

Anyone who saw the game who thinks Tony was stat padding deserves to wear tonight's Dunce Cap along with Pop, Tim, and Manu.

agreed...i'm beginning to question the basketball understanding of a few around here. if you played any organized basketball and been in a close game, you know to go for the quick 2 and foul

[gospursgojas]

To be fair, if we need Corey fucking Magette as a savior, then this team probably isn't good enough with or without him. Magette isn't going to light a fire with his effort or hard work.

:tu

I dont even know if Pop's yearly SOFT speech will fix this team

[phxspurfan]

he already played the soft card 3+ times. it's losing its effect

[phxspurfan]

if tony could only pad those assist numbers

[Solid D]

LOL at Parker getting GARBAGE POINTS...what a TOOL...he keeps taking the given layup when they need 3's

You stand out in your ignorance.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Especially when the soft card applies to the coach as well, it kind of falls on deaf ears.

[ShoogarBear]

Damn, I hate to bitch about everything, but why was Finley riding the bench when he was actually hitting shots?

[Spurologist]

:lol

Yeah lets let the winner that is PJ coach.

Brilliant.

It's fucking brilliant because in this game because pop has ignored common sense. Like ehhhhhhh maybe

1. Not playing an "all white jv high school girls team" and letting the cavs get back in the game. Oberto missed two WIDE OPEN layups back to back but pop leans back on reclines on the bench pretending like he's leading by 50. It's not fucking garbage time. You play to win the game.

2. Not giving others playing time. FIN played very well and didn't even touch the floor after that. He was actually aggressive. That's something that's probably not synonymous with Barry. Barry is a shooter, period. Other than his shooting, he's a soft cushion that has nothing on pampers. FIN should have seen more time.

EWill like you said should see some time but who gives a fuck. Lets let Lebron punish Bowen and see what Bowen can do on offense. ehhh Zero pts

3. Tech don't work to fire a team up when you are down big in the middle of the fourth quarter. Try coaching your team in the timeouts like maybe telling Tim to keep the ball off the ground. It's sad to be leader in turns time and time again. Eric Snow didn't shit in the offensively but was probably the most effective player in the game behind Hughes.

Fuck. The spurs had the game and right pace to the game. Low scoring and very methodically but then pop allows the league to dwindle. Fucking pathetic. Manu didn't show up but this game was very winnable. PJ is not accomplished. So what? I don't give a shit. Sometimes you need a coach with some common sense.

[VaSpursFan]

To be fair, if we need Corey fucking Magette as a savior, then this team probably isn't good enough with or without him. Magette isn't going to light a fire with his effort or hard work.

corey wouldn't have been the savior but he would have attacked the rim unlike manu who was content to keep firing jumpers when he was completely off tonight. after missing a few, he should have found a way to get a layup or to the foul line to get his game going. he just kept chucking.

[Emanuel20]

trade manu-he is not good at all anymore (i think he took steroids or something in 05 to have been that good..now he is just not the same player)!

[gospursgojas]

he already played the soft card 3+ times. it's losing its effect

oh did he???

I thought those other ones were just crappy d speeches. I didn't know he already pulled the team's heart into question

[SMLT]

We're good when everybody is concerned... And everybody is concerned when we're making our shoots...

As Joda once said (did he ?): "Too prone to misshoting this team is. Regularity it must acquire to a title win."

[texas84]

Missed the game on NBA TV, but i just saw the box score... and GOOD GOD... that 3rd quarter must have been painful to watch... for everybody (21 combined points).

[Emanuel20]

i hope dallas loses tonight but unlikely

[phxspurfan]

"--You Will Be."

[MannyIsGod]

and in close games, getting more trips to the charity stripe can be the difference between a win or a loss, no?Yeah, I don't think the trade would be a bad thing at all, but what this team really needs is some god damn heart.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

To be fair, if we need Corey fucking Magette as a savior, then this team probably isn't good enough with or without him. Magette isn't going to light a fire with his effort or hard work.

He for damn sure wouldn't have been settling for jumpers tonight, and he sure would have been taking it to the rack strong, unlike #21.

[Solid D]

trade manu-he is not good at all anymore (i think he took steroids or something in 05 to have been that good..now he is just not the same player)!

Shake yourself. He laid an egg. It happens. Oh, and ask for a name change if you're going to punk out, Emanuel20.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

we're 23-9 already

[VaSpursFan]

3. Tech don't work to fire a team up when you are down big in the middle of the fourth quarter. Try coaching your team in the timeouts like maybe telling Tim to keep the ball off the ground.

techs like that work only at home when you can get the home crowd riled up too...they don't work on the road. sometimes i wonder about pop :lol

[SMLT]

:o)

[1Parker1]

Damn, I hate to bitch about everything, but why was Finley riding the bench when he was actually hitting shots?

:lol The one game where he did deserve more playing time than Brent Barry, Barry gets the minutes instead....

[Amuseddaysleeper]

in regards to Maggette

[MannyIsGod]

I really am just sick of Pops rotations for the most part. They're especially horrible this year.

[1Parker1]

Oh, and ask for a name change if you're going to punk out, Emanuel20.

Yes, Anthony09 is available I believe...:smokin

[Emanuel20]

i kust like his name and number..........

[Emanuel20]

Yes, Anthony09 is available I believe...:smokin


when he (parker) has 10 assists a game i promise i will change my name to that

[Amuseddaysleeper]

edit: nvmd, i see my rant got addressed!



and I agree about heart, what we need is a locker room guy like Elie used to be

the coach bitching all the time to the team will get tiresome after awhile

[gospursgojas]

I don't disagree that a trade might help the Spurs, but I think they can still win a 'ship with the team they have.

But it starts at the top and Tim is the top, when he shows heart the rest of the team will follow.

[timvp]

I kinda like this loss, actually. The Spurs defense was pretty damn solid. They held the Cavs down and made them shoot some tough shots. You force Larry Hughes to beat you with his jumper and you usually win those games.

The problem was the Spurs' offense ... and that is correctable. Duncan was playing at like 20% and compounded it with his cry baby whining. I remember the good ol' days when Tim Duncan was just a basketball player.

And the Spurs aren't going to win many when Bowen and Manu miss their first 13 shots.

It serves the Spurs right for whining like bitches about "the new ball" and then getting the old ball back and not being able to hit the broad side of an AT&T Center.

[ponky]

it's weird how the cavs have the spurs' number for some reason when they can't beat other lesser teams...kind of like how golden state has the mavs' number even though the texas teams are the better teams...in the end, it doesn't really matter unless spurs/cavs end up in the finals in which case i guess they'd have a slight mental edge but little experience

[VaSpursFan]

:lol The one game where he did deserve more playing time than Brent Barry, Barry gets the minutes instead....

which is why i question pops coaching this year. no in-game adjustments just his methodical rotations...inability to sense and stop momentum changes. and his lack of awareness of the hot hand...fin and horry were playing great and they were glued to the bench.

pop really needs to get in timmy's ass and tell him to man up and ball. his whining to the refs for bailout calls and his carelessness with the ball is beginning to piss me off. fuck, how many times was he stripped. at some point i expected him to keep the ball high like kevin mchale but this dood just kept doing that soft shit over and over again...wtf???

[spurschick]

Each team's overall stats were almost identical. Both teams had a hard time shooting and were struggling a bit with the ball.

My only real complaint is our lack of aggressiveness. IMO, Cleveland won the game because they played with energy for 48 minutes. If we could just do that and quit looking for calls, I think we'd have a different outcome tonight.

[KB24]

:lol

[phxspurfan]

cavs would get s-t-o-m-p-e-d stomed in a finals series with San Antonio.


Unless the refs get involved (a la Dwayne Wade style against Dallas)

[E20]

Spurs are gonna lose. Nobody is playing well, it's just one of those nights.
:smokin :smokin

Was I right or was I right???
