Pacers-Spurs Preview
By NICOLINO DI BENEDETTO, STATS Writer=
Posted Mar 21 2007 2:40AM

The San Antonio Spurs followed up a long winning streak with a pair of listless losses to two of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference. They hope a visit from the struggling Indiana Pacers on Wednesday will help them rebound from those defeats.

San Antonio (46-20) made only 28-of-75 shots (37.3 percent) in its 91-85 loss to Boston - the team with the worst record in the East - on Saturday. It was the Spurs' second-worst shooting performance, better than only a 33.7 percentage in a 96-94 overtime win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Jan. 28.

"We played terrible for three quarters," said Spurs shooting guard Manu Ginobili. "We made a great effort down the stretch to come back. We were even ahead but then they made a couple of great shots and we stopped. Down the stretch we couldn't get anything done so that means a lot in games like this."

The defeat came after Thursday's 101-90 loss at Milwaukee - the last-place club in the Central Division - which snapped the Spurs' season-high 13-game winning streak. The Spurs shot 43.1 percent in that loss.

San Antonio will now try to avoid matching a season high of three straight losses set from Jan. 2-5.

The Spurs have won seven of the last eight games against the Pacers at San Antonio, including all four meetings at the AT&T Center since it opened for the 2002-03 season. Their lone home loss to Indiana in the last eight contests was a 92-82 defeat on Jan. 4, 2002, at the Alamodome.

Tim Duncan, who had 20 points and 16 rebounds Saturday, has dominated the Pacers during the four-game home winning streak with averages of 26.0 points and 11.5 rebounds. The three-time NBA Finals MVP leads the Spurs with 20.0 points and 10.8 rebounds per game and has helped them already claim a postseason berth in the West.

The Pacers (30-36) hope to slow down the 7-footer, but might have to do it without Jermaine O'Neal. The All-Star center attempted a dunk in the fourth quarter of Indiana's 86-76 loss to Houston on Tuesday and hit the floor after he was fouled by Shane Battier. O'Neal limped around for a few seconds before making one of two free throws and finished with 25 points and nine rebounds.

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said O'Neal was "very doubtful" to play in San Antonio on Wednesday.

O'Neal, who leads the Pacers with 19.7 points and 9.9 boards, has been hampered by ankle, hamstring and knee injuries and the flu at various points of the season, missing nine total games.

The loss was Indiana's eighth in a row on the road and 12th in its last 13 overall. The squad hasn't won a road game since a 116-110 victory at Memphis - the worst team in the NBA - on Feb. 3. The Pacers are averaging just 82.1 points during their road losing streak and have been outscored by 15.3 points per game in those losses.

The poor run has dropped Indiana percentage points behind New Jersey and Orlando for seventh place in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

"We needed a 'W' and we fought hard all game," Pacers point guard Jamaal Tinsley said after losing to the Rockets. "But we are going to need to fight even harder. We need to find a way to win."

[bdictjames]

Might as well get it started. :clap

[bdictjames]

So who's gonna stop Timmy now when O'Neal's gone? Jeff Foster? Hope Timmy explodes for 30-20-3 on this one, I cant wait!

[mikejones99]

without Jermaine, Spurs should win by 20

[DarrinS]

O'Neal's knee is messed up pretty bad. It looked like he hyperextended it the other night against the Rockets. I don't know why their coach didn't take him out immedidately.

[bdictjames]

without Jermaine, Spurs should win by 20
After the past two losses, I wouldn't be so sure. But I really really want them to get this W, even though it is against a struggling Indiana team.

Speaking of their coach, how has Rick Carlisle been doing so far this season? :hat

89Pacers

[mikejones99]

Indiana never recovered from the brawl at the palace. Then they gave away Sjax and now they will get swept in the first roiund if they even make the playoffs.

[SAtown]

102 - 87 Spurs

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i want to see a 25 point blowout


none of this bullshit coasting through 3 quarters then trying to take over in the 4th



this crappy play ends now

[LEONARD]

without Jermaine, Spurs should win by 20

*jinxed*

[bdictjames]

I hope Bruce finds his shot back.

[angel_luv]

Go Spurs! :)

[boutons_]

Another risky game @ATT against another EC lottery team, or at best, a 7/8th EC seed.

Don't get your hopes up.

The Spurs are seriousy fucked in the head this season.
Too many rings, too much money, boredom, whatever.

[mikejones99]

Spurs are favored by 14.5 points tonight. mavs favored by 4 at cleveland.

[Budkin]

This is going to be a complete annihilation of the Pacers as the Spurs take out their frustrations from losing to two EC lottery teams.

Spurs 107
Pacers 85

[samikeyp]

Will we see a Pooh sighting?

[Spurs Brazil]

http://www.nba.com/pacers/news/preview_070321.html

If the Pacers are to snap their eight-game road losing streak against one of the NBA's best teams, they'll have to do it without their best player. Jermaine O'Neal has been ruled out of tonight's game in San Antonio after tweaking a troublesome left knee injury in the fourth quarter of Tuesday night's 86-76 loss in Houston.
Already without backup centers David Harrison (shoulder) and Maceo Baston (toe) and with starting center Jeff Foster battling back spasms, the Pacers have just two healthy players in the frontcourt: Troy Murphy and Ike Diogu. Foster, who returned from a two-game absence to play 20 minutes in Houston, is listed as probable for tonight's game in his hometown.

[Hook Dem]

Unless our Spurs pour on the coals in the 1st quarter, we will lose! These slow starts are killing us.

[Spurs Brazil]

Shoenning just said on the radio o'Neal will play

[bdictjames]

Yippee!! A victory is unassured but this should make easier for things in the middle. Elson, Oberto, please REBOUND!!!

[schadenfreude52]

Yeah--Spurs will win.

[SequSpur]

Pacers by 10.

Bruce with 4 pts, 1 for 4 freethrows, 1 rebound, no steals in 28 minutes.

Nice.

[pooh]

Will we see a Pooh sighting?

Yeah but I'm a realist and I know that Indy can't hang with the Spurs, especially down at the AT&T Center. They've never beaten the Spurs there since it opened. Then again, Boston never did it either until Saturday. But I'm not crazy...yet.

There's your "Pooh" sighting...

6-9, according to yahoo

[Clutch20]

Tim Duncan IS the tip of the spear!

[boutons_]

Pukers shooting 34%, but Spurs shooting 48% and up only 2 possessions at the half.

When the Spurs shoot 34%, they are usually down a lot more the 5 pts. Tim's getting no help on offense.

[wildbill2u]

Ya think anyone came to play except TD.

[thekingrobert]

must win this game

[ducks]

tinsley is 2-10

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Whoa. How is the game this close in the 3rd quarter? Shouldn't it be a blowout? :wtf


and have the spurs respond to listless play!? Never!

[Leetonidas]

Elson with 8pts 3blks

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Damn dude I don't dislike you as a poster but sometimes you're really annoying with this shit so please, shut the fuck up.


I was being sarcastic but if the spurs continue to play like shit it's hard to see the glass as half full

[Leetonidas]

I was being sarcastic but if the spurs continue to play like shit it's hard to see the glass as half full
They're playing fine and they just won 13 in a row so I wouldn't worry about it. You and I both know they will play different come playoff time.

[Clutch20]

Somebody buy Elson a month's worth of steaks

[nkdlunch]

score

[Amuseddaysleeper]

They're playing fine and they just won 13 in a row so I wouldn't worry about it. You and I both know they will play different come playoff time.


I hope so, but do you really think they'll just flip on the switch just like that?


All I'm saying is this


Dallas has improved and we've regressed

Anything can happen I suppose, but them playing this poorly (though they're widening the gap in this game) this late in the season is kind of alarming

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 57-43

[Spurs Brazil]

Good game by Elson, 12pts

[Leetonidas]

I hope so, but do you really think they'll just flip on the switch just like that?

I personally think the Spurs are pacing themselves still and not going "full on" just yet.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner in

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I personally think the Spurs are pacing themselves still and not going "full on" just yet.


god I hope so man, its just frustrating to see them not play to potential, but i'm hoping manu especially can kick it up a notch

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Good game by Elson, 12pts


but he's only got 2 boards


oh what the hell, i'll take it :drunk

[Admidave50]

Who's shooting the FTs? go spurs go!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Td

[Spurs Brazil]

TD with 27pts

Spurs up 19

[boutons_]

what happened to Sean? who is this weak-voiced guy?

[Spurs Brazil]

TD with 4PF

[Clutch20]

At which point does the game get personal? Spurs sit down to dine on regular game fare, your medium-level teams, and someone comes along to snatch the meal right off their plate.
Like last year's semis.
Like the sub .500 teams this year.
Then like Bucks and Boston, snatched they dam food right out of their mouths.
At which point does it get personal and our boys begin get tougher and killer-like?

Tim Duncan IS the tip of the spear!

[SpursFanFirst]

what happened to Sean? who is this weak-voiced guy?

Sean is working with Fox Sports Indiana tonight for some reason.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I LOVE MATT BONNER


put this mofo in the starting lineup

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Sean is working with Fox Sports Indiana tonight for some reason.


are you being serious?

After the 3rd

sean coming back it seems

[SpursFanFirst]

I LOVE MATT BONNER


put this mofo in the starting lineup

I love Bonner too...In general, I wish he'd get more playing time.

[itzsoweezee]

but he's only got 2 boards



and three blocks

[jmard5]

spurs 70
pacers 50

[SpursFanFirst]

are you being serious?

Yeah, but I think he's done...they might be changing back now.

[themvp]

I like this defense!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

spurs finally playing like they should


lets hope this keeps up

[Spurs Brazil]

That's what I wanted

More Bonner and no Oberto

[SpursFanFirst]

uh oh...Oberto

[Spurs Brazil]

uh oh...Oberto

[Amuseddaysleeper]

uh oh...Oberto


is it just me or has oberto began to regress worse than beno?


*shudders*

I'd actually rather have beno on the floor

[jmard5]

Spurs wanting to win this one. 8:25 remaining...
spurs: 77
Pacers: 57

Me too

[Amuseddaysleeper]

cavs on a big run with the ball down 75-83


7 min left in 4th

[Amuseddaysleeper]

make that 77-83

[SpursFanFirst]

Barry for 3!

[Supergirl]

I love how the Pacers are working hard for every point, and then barry comes in and mitigates anything they've gained with 2 quick 3's.

[Admidave50]

Both teams are hitting shots in the 4th!

[Supergirl]

Matt Bonner: 8 pts, 7 rebounds. Could he have his first double double with the Spurs? Would it be his first ever?

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner!!!!!!

Bonner>>>>any other big besides TD

[Clutch20]

did you notice how players are in motion now, not standing around, Brent moving, caught pass, then passed it to Bonner who made the 3 as an afterthought?

[Que Gee]

Barry for 3!

Gee Pop should pull him...I mean Finley and Bowen are a combined 3 for 14.....

Popovich has been sucking Finley's nuts all season. And there are certain games there is no reason for Bowen to be getting many minutes...Tonight is a perfect example...he can't shoot worth a lick, and there is no one to guard.

You just noticed when Tony doesn't play that happens?
:toast

[Supergirl]

Manu and TD have 4 fouls each - will we see them again this game?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Manu and TD have 4 fouls each - will we see them again this game?

no, and considering we're up 18 we can afford to have them on the bench

[Supergirl]

Pacers bench currently outscoring us 30-22

[Clutch20]

Bonner.....................is enjoying himself!

[TMTTRIO]

I guess we jinxed Manu when he was playing well because now he's been sucking the last few games.

[Supergirl]

no, and considering we're up 18 we can afford to have them on the bench

That's what I was thinking too, but no lead is safe with the Spurs these days.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I guess we jinxed Manu when he was playing well because now he's been sucking the last few games.
Dang Manu HAS been sucking, :lol

1-7 shots 1-5 3's..

At least he got in 5 assists.


Were they catch and shoot shots though?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Maybe Manu is subconsciously trying to self-sabotage his sixth man award. Since he implied in his comments, that it's not really something he cares to get.

[Admidave50]

Nice win by the Spurs!

Great effort by Bonner, he was so close to his first double double with the Spurs.

Duncan was in the zone tonight! Did he score lots of easy layups?

[TMTTRIO]

Well I did see his parents were in town with Many the other night :)

[Sam]

Bonner with 10 pts and 9 boards. Let him play more.

[djohn14]

Francisco is a beast!!!

[SpursDynasty]

Ok so now where's everyone with their "Spurs are on the decline" stuff. Let's hear it. We are 14-2 over last 16 now.

[jmard5]

Yeah, they thought, Bonner got a double-double.

[milkyway21]

Bonner with 10 pts and 9 boards. Let him play more.I thought it's 9 pts & 10 rbds:dizzy ???

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Ok so now where's everyone with their "Spurs are on the decline" stuff. Let's hear it. We are 14-2 over last 16 now.


Zzzzzzzz


if you think we're we need to be come playoff time at this point you're nuts


but yes, it was all around a great win and lets hope we continue to improve

[angel_luv]

Nice win Spurs. :)

I don't know if any of you listened to the Impact Player show but apparently Matt walked past Bill's interview table so Bill had to call him over. :lol

[bdictjames]

Tim Duncan was in a rhythm today, probably got upset over the past two losses. Its about time Timmy!!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Tim will ALWAYS show up to turn it ON when he DOES NOT want to lose anymore.

:clap

[bdictjames]

Duncan should be our #1 option ALWAYS, clutch or not. Manu should be #2 when he's in the zone, and Parker should be #2 or #3 depending on how well he's playing.

[dallasmavsnfuego214]

Zzzzzzzz


if you think we're we need to be come playoff time at this point you're nuts


but yes, it was all around a great win and lets hope we continue to improve

yes. well put.

not to take anything away from this win, but Indy has lost 13 out of the last 14. probly the worst team in the league right now............

[SpursDynasty]

Zzzzzzzz


if you think we're we need to be come playoff time at this point you're nuts


but yes, it was all around a great win and lets hope we continue to improve

Well since, Kobe > Udrih, we're clearly not ready for the playoffs. We need Beno to step up in crunch time.

[RC's Boss]

Zzzzzzzz


if you think we're we need to be come playoff time at this point you're nuts


but yes, it was all around a great win and lets hope we continue to improve
It said 'decline" not peak. it means though they lost 2 in row they haven't slipped.

[Trainwreck2100]

Ok so now where's everyone with their "Spurs are on the decline" stuff. Let's hear it. We are 14-2 over last 16 now.


And they are 1-2 in the last 3

[Amuseddaysleeper]

And they are 1-2 in the last 3


exactly


I'm not saying we're doomed, i mean the win was great


but let's be realistic here


We have our work cut out for us

[SequSpur]

bruce bowen blows.

[Pugglekicker_21]

argh. wouldve been nice to see Bonner get double-double.

[spursrule32]

Seguspur - you blow; didn't need you when we got our last two and don't need you now. If you think we can't go to war with the team we have right now, well it doesn't really f'n matter b/c that's what we have and that's what we'll win with. If you're a ture Spurs fan, you will go with the team that's in place and watch the character and teamwork prevail over much more talented (and "athletic) teams b/c they understand the program - you don't or you woulnd't waste our time with stupid remarks. The great thing about this forum is that you realize who understands the program and who wants to ride along and make stupid comments about how we could be better if we just did this or we just did that - if we only had the most winningest team in all of sports since Duncan was drafted; oh wait we do. How the hell did we get there with such a pathetic team. - Spurs Fan

I apologize....you're probably right....thank god the spurs don't have to go through milwaukee, charlotte and Boston to get to the finals... They would be really in trouble if that was the case.:D

[spursrule32]

Yeah - you're right these games have ALWAYS been a factor in our playoff performance. Whew - I'm glad we don't have to face those guys in the first round. I probably shouldn't even root for the Spurs during the playoffs b/c we all know that they have no business being there. How can they compete - granted they've always been the underdog and have prevailed b/c they understand the program (unlike so many so called Spurs fans) but how can they compete without an athletic SF like Maggette? I just don't know, but at the end of the day I'll trust the idiot coaches and the idiot front office that have won 3 tiltes with an extemely low payroll compared to their success and I'll just let it ride.

Ok so now where's everyone with their "Spurs are on the decline" stuff. Let's hear it. We are 14-2 over last 16 now.

This is the Spurs vs PACERS game blog, right? Were they supposed to lose this game?


And they are 1-2 in the last 3
