Official Game Blog: Spurs vs. Hawks

[itzsoweezee]

I don't fucking understand why Pop goes small every fucking time we start to lose. WHAT THE FUCK??? It pisses me off to no end. Small ball fucking sucks.

yeah, it's retarded. the fact that popovich hasn't learned that it doesn't work makes him retarded.

[efrem1]

One more win and the Spurs clinch another winning record on the road. Great job Spurs!! :)

[theroc5]

i like the win, wasnt the best win we have had but it still seems like elson is fitting into his role really well as well as manu and barry.. i didnt like the move of going small at the end of the game...i thought we gave up a lot of easy lay ups cause elson wasnt in the game...i hope pop knows to put elson on dirk when we fave the mavs..

[ploto]

I don't fucking understand why Pop goes small every fucking time we start to lose.
Elson + Oberto= 10 fouls in 24 total minutes


it still seems like elson is fitting into his role really well
You saw the game??
12 minutes- 5 fouls- 2 rebounds

[exstatic]

No injury....just an off night with a lot of fouls. He can't shoot 50% all nights
Uh, yes he was, in fact injured. Did you watch the game, or are you just talking out of your ass? He didn't even start the second half.

[Guh-No-Bleee!!!]

Guh-No-Bleee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guh-No-Bleee!!!]

24-consecutive points, oh ma gawd he's nasty

[milkyway21]

--After giving up more than 100 points in two consecutive games, the Spurs have now held their past three opponents to 82, 81 and 80 points, respectively. Said Duncan of San Antonio's defense: "That's going to be the key to the stretch run here. We have to really turn that defense up and really keep people off our offensive glass, and that's something that's hurt us tremendously throughout the first half of the season."

good for you Atlanta, you're lucky to score 96 pts.on us.

ATLANTA -- Manu Ginobili scored 24 consecutive San Antonio points in a 10-minute span of the first half against Atlanta on Wednesday night.

Entering the game late in the first quarter, Ginobili missed his first two shots before hitting eight straight from the field and all seven attempts on free throws. The Spurs led 39-23 at the end of his flurry, and Ginobili scored 27 points on 9-of-13 shooting in the first half.

Ginobili has played well in his role as the Spurs' sixth man, becoming the NBA's No. 2 bench scorer.
In his 13 games as a reserve, Ginobili averaged 17.4 points in 25 minutes. Only Chicago's Ben Gordon, with 22.5 points in 31.1 minutes, was more productive.

oh yeah! our bet for this yr's 6th man of the year.

Go! Go! Manu .:clap

[SuperManu!!!]

Uh, yes he was, in fact injured. Did you watch the game, or are you just talking out of your ass? He didn't even start the second half.

HE didn't started because he had already too many fouls. If he was really injured, he wouldn't have returned don't you think? You can have vaughn, barry, udrih or manu as PG

[SequSpur]

manu again proving my theory of irregularity.

[milkyway21]

next opponent ->Seattle

Bowen vs his best friend Ray Allen :lol

[Guh-No-Bleee!!!]

manu again proving my theory of irregularity.
Unleash Tony Parker???




Unleash tha fuckin Gino-sauce!

[kalikot_boy_kr]

:clap
wow! the danger is back! i believed the old become young, while young turns old....and i know old live by experience but young still learning..... :downspin: lol! Spurs is coming back...watch out! :elephant

[ShoogarBear]

Uh, yes he was, in fact injured. Did you watch the game, or are you just talking out of your ass? He didn't even start the second half.It was pretty obvious from his comments that he was on a Church mission.

Tony has started second halves with 3 fouls before. Pop didn't start him because he didn't want to heat up and cool down the hamstring too many times using the normal rotation, and he didn't want to play him too many minutes. Once he entered the game in the second half, he only came out once. Pop would never alter the rotation because a player had 3 fouls after 2 quarters, but he would alter the rotation for a dinged player. Did you watch? Tony had NO FUCKING LIFT in the second half. He couldn't get under his jumper, and actually threw an airball.

It was pretty obvious from his comments that he was on a Church mission.
Yeah, I don't know why I bother with "fans" who hate players on our team.

[T Park]

Shocker Parker has 1 bad game, and the haters are back out...

[polandprzem]

Shocker Parker has 1 bad game, and the haters are back out...

Yeah

Had he one good game all season long?

[T Park]

Had he one good game all season long?

eh??????

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Big deal if Tony had a bad game. they never click all at hte same time. i didn't see the game so he probably got hurt, which is why he only played 24 minutes.

Tim , Manu and Tony always seem to alternate in bad games 3-14, 5 - 16, FG etc. Tony's had like about 4 bad nights of these off-shooting affiars . Tim's had a fair share more and So has Manu. The "haters" need to get some perspective on these reg games.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I wish they played this game on TV though. Tim and Manu must have dominated.

[polandprzem]

eh??????

:D



Just wanted to piss you off :cooldevil

[kingsfan]

I just go in from the game. GIN-O-BLEE!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf? He couldn't miss the 1st half. Whatever he had for breakfast I need some. I got to meet him + he was very nice. Horry was an ass but I expected that.
I took a lot of pix, I'll post them tomorrow. Good game though. There were a lot of Spurs fans there + I sat with half of Argentinahttp://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smilol.gif so they were riled up. They were very nice though. We had a lot of fun.

[bdictjames]

At least Parker made the right plays down the stretch that kept us in the lead. Nice job by Manu and Duncan.

[jeffdrums22]

The Spurs' wins against Washington, New Jersey, Detroit, Denver, and Atlanta this month, proves that we are still a top team. People may say well those are easy teams, but it was losses to those same kinds of teams that made everyone say we're old and unathletic and struggling. We are now 5-3 in February. Next up on the tour of silencing the doubters: The Sonics and Velociraptors.

They are just beating teams they are supposed to beat. There are other teams the Spurs have lost to this season, who they were supposed to beat (Dallas, Utah, Phoenix), and since none of those are championship caliber and still have a long way to go, those games will all be blow-outs with the Spurs winning.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

for the love of god ban this idiot

[Amuseddaysleeper]

manu also broke jordan's record with consecutive points in a game (jordan had 23)


though that probably has already been mentioned in the thread
