[Manu20]

Free me Pop!

[trueD]

Kings:

No Artest
No Corliss
No Quincy Douby (who?)
Someone else, I forget.

Good Luck Spurs. :lol

In case the game becomes boring, be sure and take a good look at PF Justin Williams and PG Ronnie Price, just in case they don't make some kind of impact and get lost in the shuffle. These are Kings' future!

[PerforatedNeckline]

trueD, say a few words about justin williams. i don't know anything about him.

[ggoose25]

sweet. im ready for kmart to go crazy spurkilla on us again :smchode:

[PerforatedNeckline]

eh, well, tim has 2 blocks already.

[Spurs Brazil]

Kings up 12-11

Bibby with 7pts

[SpursDynasty]

was tonight's game at one time scheduled to be on national tv?

It was scheduled to be on ESPN but got changed.

But I forgot Western Conference basketball apparently isn't allowed on national TV anymore.

[aaronstampler]

Old man Horry's in.

[td4mvp21]

Tim with 3 blocks already!!!

[powerpower]

manu is not even coming for finley in wow he will be in just for 7-10 mins today

[ggoose25]

It was scheduled to be on ESPN but got changed.

But I forgot Western Conference basketball apparently isn't allowed on national TV anymore.

:depressed

thanks though. i had it on my calendar as a game i could watch, and when i checked tv guide it wasnt on. :pctoss

[PerforatedNeckline]

i see horry and barry are back...who's inactive tonight?

[powerpower]

manu...is inactive because he is on the yahoo's Not HOT list

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu and one!!!!!!

[td4mvp21]

Wow what is with this weird lineup?? :wtf

[AnkleBreaker21]

i dont like this lineup at all

[kingsfan]

Come on Kings, we're short handed though. If you guys haven't seen Justin Williams much, watch him, he's going to be good for us, as is Price.

[AnkleBreaker21]

is white inactive

[aaronstampler]

I like Brent Barry shooting threes a lot more than Horry shooting them.

[kingsfan]

Did they say why Artest is out? I haven't heard.

[aaronstampler]

0 starters on the floor for us.

[kingsfan]

This should be an easy game for you guys but we're not going down without a fight. :ihit

[AnkleBreaker21]

damn horry looked tired azz hell

[td4mvp21]

Hopefully this is the only kind of team we will see this lineup with :lol.

[RashoFan]

Who started?

[aaronstampler]

This should be an easy game for you guys but we're not going down without a fight. :ihit

I'd take that a lot more literally if Artest was suited up.

[Spurs Brazil]

is white inactive

No

[01Snake]

Any Horry keeps his brick streak alive.

[aaronstampler]

We already have 9 scorers.

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto slam from Manuuuuuuuu

[aaronstampler]

Manu is killing these guys right now. 5 pts, 4 dimes.

[aaronstampler]

And of course, that's Pop cue to take him out.

[powerpower]

can manu be a pg may be in a few years ?

[maldita21]

Did they say why Artest is out? I haven't heard.
heard he caught the upper respiratory tract infection that Kevin Martin had last night

[ducks]

duncan has 4 blocks already

[kingsfan]

heard he caught the upper respiratory tract infection that Kevin Martin had last nightOK thanks. Kevin's still not 100% either.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

it's great having one of the top 5 coaches of all time at the helm :rolleyes

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto with 5rebs

[kingsfan]

They just said it was Artest's hamstring. hmm

[AnkleBreaker21]

man i hope finley can stay hot in the playoffs

[trueD]

trueD, say a few words about justin williams. i don't know anything about him.
Justin Williams is 220, about 6'10', is a baller who works well around the basket. He is long and atheletic, and he can get to the basket from half court before the shot does. He doesn't have much jump shot yet, but has improved his FT shooting this year by about 40%. He's not afraid to dive for loose balls, and can body up your big men pretty good.

I personally wub him. :)

[loveThe23]

They just said it was Artest's hamstring. hmm

Thigh massage affecting him?? :lol

[aaronstampler]

Bowen's FT makes 10 scorers.

[kingsfan]

Thigh massage affecting him?? :lol:lol yea time for another one :eyebrows

[maldita21]

They just said it was Artest's hamstring. hmm

:blah ask bill schoening!

[Spurs Brazil]

Barry 33333333

[trueD]

Also, Williams is a terrific shotblocker and boarder (forgot to mention). This is his rookie year. He'll probably learn to feather tickle the announcers chin next year. :)

[trueD]

I gotta run, good luck Kings. Don't be too hard on us Spurs :lol

[aaronstampler]

Timmy showing off the PG skills.

[AnkleBreaker21]

Tim trying to run the break:lol

[RashoFan]

This is the first time I've seen Bibby with hair.... maybe he is going for the :fro

[td4mvp21]

Man, Duncan is having a great game 4 pts, 8 rbs, 4 blocks. Nice!

[kingsfan]

This is the first time I've seen Bibby with hair.... maybe he is going for the :froIt's more like a sprout :lol I don't think we'll be saying fear the fro anytime soon.

[boutons_]

Sloppy ball handling by Spurs, passes aren't crisp, getting picked off.

[AnkleBreaker21]

man i wish manu would grow his hair long , he looked fuckin krazy

[PerforatedNeckline]

i like the kings fans around here. they seem like good people.

[loveThe23]

This is the first time I've seen Bibby with hair.... maybe he is going for the :fro

He's trying to reveal his identity if you know what I mean...lol. I like the Kings' front court right now, the new guys! :clap

[aaronstampler]

Oh Shit!

[AnkleBreaker21]

damn manu got hops

[aaronstampler]

That was fucking sick.

[AnkleBreaker21]

tims face when he realized it was manu:lol

[loveThe23]

It's more like a sprout :lol I don't think we'll be saying fear the fro anytime soon.

Hahah :flipoff

[kingsfan]

Great now Brad's out, we're down to 8 :depressed

[mardigan]

Im so tired of Spur games never being nationally televised

[kingsfan]

Lead down to 4, we're showing signs of life. :elephant

[loveThe23]

Great now Brad's out, we're down to 8 :depressed

& that's going to affect us how? lol well I didn't watch from the start, but has he been doing good or something? something must be wrong. :dizzy

[mardigan]

If Pop wants to win this game he will put in James White right meow!

[wildbill2u]

They are hitting 60% on 3s. Do you think we could tighten up on the perimeter or are they just shooting the lights out?

[boutons_]

Spurs killing on FG%, RBs, ASTs, but only up two possessions going into the half.

[kingsfan]

& that's going to affect us how? lol well I didn't watch from the start, but has he been doing good or something? something must be wrong. :dizzyNot really but he got a triple last night. We just need bodies right now.

[aaronstampler]

Will Tony ever pass out of the 1-4 at the end of the quarter? I mean, ever?

[YODA]

is it me or are the spurs running some new plays EG. high pick and roles...seems like alot of new plays are being run


Yoda

[PerforatedNeckline]

when you guys were freaking out, saying "manu got hops" etc....what were you referring to? what happened?

[mardigan]

when you guys were freaking out, saying "manu got hops" etc....what were you referring to? what happened?
Yea, right? It most of been some kind of funk-a-dunk or something.

[loveThe23]

Not really but he got a triple last night. We just need bodies right now.

Yea I heard about that... how amazing.. but he can't do it two nights in a row.. it's... BRAD. :lol

[kingsfan]

Yea I heard about that... how amazing.. but he can't do it two nights in a row.. it's... BRAD. :lol:lol and it's even less likely from the locker room. We're only down by 6, I'm surprised TBH.

[aaronstampler]

when you guys were freaking out, saying "manu got hops" etc....what were you referring to? what happened?

He rebounded and slammed home a Parker missed lay-up all in one motion. Like, '03 Manu style.

[wildbill2u]

Saw where Minnesota was leading Dallas and then heard on the radio that the Mavs left Dampier, Dirk and Stackhouse at home. Something serious must be going around
[sarcasm/]

[aaronstampler]

[sarcasm/]

Maybe there's a building ordinance and they can only allow so much ugly in one place. After all, it is Minnesota.

[RashoFan]

Was that Timmy's little girl on TV just now?

[CruelMonkey]

Who the eff is James White?

[John Patrick]

So I watch the Spurs play and post about how i feel during it...

ehh.

sOmetimes I do have things to say, and yet nobody's here to listen..

[mardigan]

Who the eff is James White?
Gods gift to the basketball fan

[boutons_]

Spurs sucking to open 2nd half.

[John Patrick]

Who the eff is James White?


The future..

[Amuseddaysleeper]

why are we struggling with the kings again? the spurs are so pathetic sometimes

[SpursFanFirst]

"ellison..." seriously, WHY can't the announcers get his name right?

[loveThe23]

why are we struggling with the kings again? the spurs are so pathetic sometimes

Cause Justin Williams, Cisco, and all the young guys are in.

[kingsfan]

why are we struggling with the kings again? the spurs are so pathetic sometimesb/c we rock :elephant

[I love Tony Parker]

Spurs are pissing me tha fuck off right now!!! they are playing sorry ass basketball!!!!!! Bowen cant shoot for SHIT!!!!!!

[aaronstampler]

They're just beating Tony up today.

[SpursFanFirst]

Could they have left him any more open?

[boutons_]

Spurs suck @ATT this season. heading for another losss like the Celtics@ATT

[kingsfan]

We're having a decent 3rd Q, miracles do happen :spin

[td4mvp21]

I can't see the game, but the defense looks atrocious, is it at bad as it seems?

[mardigan]

It also seems that Tim is the only guy doing shit from the boxscore

[wildbill2u]

Who the eff is James White?
you know how football teams fans always have a 'quarterback controversy' to argue about? Well, in the NBA its always one of the guys who's riding the pine at the end of the bench that gets cult status. On the Spurs this year, that guy is James "White Flight" (or is it James "Flight White")

[td4mvp21]

Spurs suck @ATT this season. heading for another losss like the Celtics@ATT

30-9 sucks? Hmm...

[mardigan]

He is a God among mere mortals

[boutons_]

Magic losing in trying to hold onto 8th seed, Pacers winning trying to slip into 8th seed

[CruelMonkey]

Well, on the Kings it's Justin Williams. And you all are now seeing why :lol

BTW, when are the Spurs goig to show some pride? They're screwing with our draft pick.

[fred33]

They're just beating Tony up today. tony play injured at the back

[mardigan]

Mavs beating the Wolves by 6 in the third

[ShoogarBear]

That's the closest you'll ever see to an alley-oop to Oberto.

[kingsfan]

Justin :hungry: :spin Williams, God I love him.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

30-9 sucks? Hmm...


for a team trying to win another ring that is beyond pitiful

[aaronstampler]

Perhaps they should let Manu shoot more. Just a thought.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuu 33333333333

[kingsfan]

Thank you Bibby, we have the lead.

[td4mvp21]

for a team trying to win another ring that is beyond pitiful
Beyond pitiful? 10 or less losses at home is good in the NBA. Maybe it's not ideal for the Spurs but it's still good.

[ShoogarBear]

Is there some new rule that the Spurs aren't allowed to block out Justin Williams?

[ShoogarBear]

Hokey crap, where did that shot by Vaughn come from?

[wildbill2u]

Oberto 3-4 and 6 rebounds and it sounds like he's hustling his ass off for rebounds.

[ShoogarBear]

You gotta be shittin me.

[SpursFanFirst]

Hokey crap, where did that shot by Vaughn come from?

that was really nice!

[loveThe23]

Justin :hungry: :spin Williams, God I love him.

Me. too. :clap he sucks at FT's, but it's okay, he's great at everything else. within one.. just have to hang in there.

[mardigan]

Well, looks like my vbookie is f-ed again

[SpursFanFirst]

:bang this game is painful to watch.

[boutons_]

Spurs lose 3rd qtr 25 - 32.

[td4mvp21]

That was a horrible defensive quarter.

[mardigan]

How is this guy Williams 7 for 8? Are they not playing any d on him or what?

[boutons_]

Sac must have shot 80% in the 3rd qtr.

[aaronstampler]

we played a lot of smallball

[CruelMonkey]

Man, fuck the Spurs. :bang

[kingsfan]

How is this guy Williams 7 for 8? Are they not playing any d on him or what?He's been balling lately, that kid is our future and I like it.

[wildbill2u]

The smallest lineup ever: OBerto, manu, vaughn, bowen, and barry.

[td4mvp21]

Why the fuck is Pop playing Horry over Elson?

[Fabbs]

^^ why?
Are Bonner and Elson benched for a reason?

[wildbill2u]

from the radio, that was the third offensive rebound that Oberto thought he had but lost.

[SpursFanFirst]

:depressed

[aaronstampler]

Why are we fucking playing smallball?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i cant believe TD has only taken 9 shots

[RashoFan]

Don't we usually"have a meltdown in the 3rd" and then squeek a win at the end?
I think it is business as usual.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Why are we fucking playing smallball?


are you kidding?

we've playing small ball every game since the Mavs series

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and one!!!!!!!!

[SpursFanFirst]

ugh! These turnovers!

[milkyway21]

you know if we really want to dominate in the playoffs this team must improve their rebounding esp Elson who is now starting. He's so inconsistent. We all know what he can do and how athletic he is but we don't see it every time he's on the floor. This team is simply lacks rebounding that makes them one of hardest teams to beat during the twin towers yrs.

[I love Tony Parker]

WHERE THA FUCK IS THA D??!!! Why isnt PARKER IN?? The lineup should be like this Parker, Duncan, Manu, Finley Elson!!! with parker playing like he did against tha Blazers! DID I ALREADY ASK WHERE THA FUCK IS THA DAMN D??

[aaronstampler]

When I think of defensive rebounding and interior defense, I don't think of Oberto at center and Bowen at PF.

[John Patrick]

i cant be the only one to get this regular season shit done and get to the playoffs already..


and apparently the Pistons and Magic would make or a better game..

[Amuseddaysleeper]

elson has only played 13 minutes


thanks Pop

[aaronstampler]

WHERE THA FUCK IS THA D??!!! Why isnt PARKER IN?? The lineup should be like this Parker, Duncan, Manu, Finley Elson!!! with parker playing like he did against tha Blazers! DID I ALREADY ASK WHERE THA FUCK IS THA DAMN D??


Parker was a -1 against the Blazers. I don't think he's doin' too hot in this one either.

[td4mvp21]

Elson should be in and Parker should be in. Fuck the rotation when you're losing to an inferior team at home. Small ball? Fuck that, I don't know why Pop has it in his head that it works for this team?

[I love Tony Parker]

I Know we are gonna win no doubt in my mind but I dont want it to be a ugly ass win!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i cant be the only one to get this regular season shit done and get to the playoffs already..


and apparently the Pistons and Magic would make or a better game..



uhh the regular season isn't done for us

we're still trying to catch the suns

unless the spurs gave up on that race as evidenced by this game

[wildbill2u]

I think Pop has decided he doesn't care whether he plays LA or Denver at the 3rd spot or if he moves to the 2nd. So he'll see if he can win with some guys like Barry and Horry that have been out. Maybe. Or Maybe not.

[td4mvp21]

:cuss

Play Elson, dammit.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley 333333333333333

[kingsfan]

Justin 1 RB away from his 2nd consecutive dub.

[John Patrick]

uhh the regular season isn't done for us

we're still trying to catch the suns

unless the spurs gave up on that race as evidenced by this game


Criticize me all you want, but I gave up on the 2nd seed after the Pacers loss.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Criticize me all you want, but I gave up on the 2nd seed after the Pacers loss.


thats fair

[aaronstampler]

As near as I can figure, Elson is a -5 for the game.

[SpursFanFirst]

:clap Thank God for Finley!!!

[wildbill2u]

Finley's feelling it. Give him the ball every time down the court until he misses two

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley on fire!!!!!

[kingsfan]

Ugh I hate Finley.

[wildbill2u]

Manu got robbed on a charge. Ahead by 5.

[Admidave50]

Finley is good, where is Elson? A lot of small ball?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

As near as I can figure, Elson is a -5 for the game.


BUT HIS HEART IS AT A +10

[td4mvp21]

Finley is good, where is Elson? A lot of small ball?

Yep, way too much actually!

[boutons_]

Tim shooting FTs in crunch time.

[ShoogarBear]

Since I started watching the only thing Elson has been doing is getting bent over and K-Y'd by Justin Williams.

[milkyway21]

Finley is hot after the the All-Star break. And a lot of haters here owe him an apology :lol

and shld thank Cuban too! :D

[wildbill2u]

96-91. Duncan is fouled and will shoot. Too bad. makes one. and were up by 6

[kingsfan]

And Williams gets the dub :clap

[milkyway21]

how many blocks Duncan has 4 or 5?

[Spurs Brazil]

TD 22pts 13rebs 4asts 4blks

[wildbill2u]

101-93. Spurs steal and Finley is fouled. Under two minutes? We can put this away if we play some D.

[SpursDynasty]

Kings should just get back on the plane now.

57-21, 24-3 since Feb. 11

[milkyway21]

that's Bowen's 4th steal for the night :ihit :madrun

[wildbill2u]

Oberto 11 minutes and 9 rebounds. Elson 13 minutes and 0 rebounds.

Sometimes being able to jump isn't as important as knowing when and where to jump.

[spyder]

:downspin: its over

[Spurs Brazil]

TD again!!!!!!!

[td4mvp21]

Thanks to TD for this win. He did fucking awesome.

[wildbill2u]

We make a stop, TD hits a shot. We're up 107-96 with less than 11/2 minutes.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

we got the W but fuck small ball

[I love Tony Parker]

Go Duncan Go Finley!!!! Even though this was one of our worst games!!! VERY UGLY WIN!!!

[Admidave50]

Timmy is the man!

[wildbill2u]

Beno in for Tim. Talk about small ball lineup.

[RashoFan]

Don't we usually"have a meltdown in the 3rd" and then squeek a win at the end?
I think it is business as usual.

[td4mvp21]

we got the W but fuck small ball

:tu

[Samr]

Beno finishes the game with 2 points on 1-3 shooting, 1 assist, 5 TOs and 3 myspace posts

[ShoogarBear]

Wbo-hooo! Elson get a board!

[boutons_]

opponent scores 100 pts, but Spurs manage to win.

[wildbill2u]

57-21. I predicted a 58 win season some time ago. But I'd just as soon see 61-21.

[exstatic]

Bibby looks weird with hair.

[kingsfan]

Nice win but we made you work for it. It wasn't as easy as I thought it might be.

[exstatic]

I think Pop has decided he doesn't care whether he plays LA or Denver at the 3rd spot or if he moves to the 2nd. So he'll see if he can win with some guys like Barry and Horry that have been out. Maybe. Or Maybe not.
EXACTLY. He's just rotating people in and out.

I was kind of shocked the other night, but who ever was interviewing asked Pop if they were ready for the playoffs to begin. I think in years past Pop would have blasted him, but he just kind of looked at him and said "Yeah, we're ready for the playoffs to start."

[ChumpDumper]

Justin 1 RB away from his 2nd consecutive dub.Yeah, that was a great signing.

[RashoFan]

Beno finishes the game with 2 points on 1-3 shooting, 1 assist, 5 TOs and 3 myspace posts
:lol

[milkyway21]

Nice win but we made you work for it. It wasn't as easy as I thought it might be.you shld thank the Spurs for allowing you to score 100 pts. :lol

that was quite scary huh? i thought we'd lose tonight.

[exstatic]

you shld thank the Spurs for allowing you to score 100 pts. :lol

that was quite scary huh? i thought we'd lose tonight.
I didn't care. The only bad outcome would be an injury.

Meanwhile, Nash plays 35 and 38 in their last two as Phoenix grips, watching us in their rearview. :lol

[SuperManu!!!]

Elson with 1 rebound....woooow!

[td4mvp21]

EXACTLY. He's just rotating people in and out.

I was kind of shocked the other night, but who ever was interviewing asked Pop if they were ready for the playoffs to begin. I think in years past Pop would have blasted him, but he just kind of looked at him and said "Yeah, we're ready for the playoffs to start."

That makes sense, and I blame the last two below average defensive efforts on lack of focus overall. I think the Spurs are just anxious for the playoffs to start, as are the rest of us fans. This is probably really boring for them.

[exstatic]

I just think it's funny that they keep winning, driving Phoenix to burn up starter minutes in a desperate attempt to stay ahead. I'd love it if we won out. Phoenix could only rest for the last game. :lol

No one played 35 minutes tonight for SA.

[gilmor]

Parker was a -1 against the Blazers. I don't think he's doin' too hot in this one either.

This must be the worst post in the night. Tony was the only one making a difference in that game in the 3rd quarter. Perhaps you should just go and support the Mavericks and get the fuck out of here.. mutha fukking hater..

[Kobulingam]

Damn Kings kept it close with their amazing 3PT shooting.

Finley is ready for a championship run!!!!!!!!! He's peaking at the right time and the old dog has finally (re)adjusted to this ball.

[Kobulingam]

Nice win but we made you work for it. It wasn't as easy as I thought it might be.

Because you guys had a once in a lifetime 3PT shooting night.

[Capt Bringdown]

If Finley keeps this up, we may just have a chance.

Imagine the look on Cuban's face...

One of the highlights of the '99 title was the shots of Jerry West's face when his mighty Lakers were being taken down by a JJ's 3-point shooting.

[efrem1]

Sweeping the homestand. Not bad. :spin

[Kobulingam]

A chance? WTH? Duncan and Finley are into beast mode now. Manu will beastify in the playoffs too.

I think Spurs crush Dallas in a 7 game series if the teams met NOW. Something like 4-2.

Duncan and Manu aren't injured like last year, and they will lay a spanking on Mavs as revenge.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

A chance? WTH? Duncan and Finley are into beast mode now. Manu will beastify in the playoffs too.

I think Spurs crush Dallas in a 7 game series if the teams met NOW. Something like 4-2.

Duncan and Manu aren't injured like last year, and they will lay a spanking on Mavs as revenge.


:rolleyes :rolleyes Crush? :drunk :drunk It will be anything but easy for you guys. I hope we get the Spurs tho because they bring out the best out of Dirk . He goes apeshit on them especially in the AT&T American Airlines Center.

Yawn.

:sleep

[infinite styles]

the AT&T American Airlines Center.

Where is that arena?

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Where is that arena?

San Antonio. We have won 4 out of our last 5 games in that stadium so now the names of both stadiums merge.

[Clutch20]

If Finley keeps this up, we may just have a chance.

Imagine the look on Cuban's face...

One of the highlights of the '99 title was the shots of Jerry West's face when his mighty Lakers were being taken down by a JJ's 3-point shooting.

Go...J-a-r-e-t....J-a-c-k-s-o-n, godblessyour 3 pt. "I'm a champion too, dammit" '99 first trophy season!

[SequSpur]

Who the hell is Jaret Jackson.

[Kobulingam]

Who the hell is Jaret Jackson.

Probably another merger? If stadiums can merge, why not humans?

[trueD]

you shld thank the Spurs for allowing you to score 100 pts. :lol


Maybe you should thank 12th place, 32-46 Kings for not totally embarrassing Spurs with a win. At their house. Playing mostly bench & rookies. Laugh laugh. :dramaquee

[kingsfan]

you shld thank the Spurs for allowing you to score 100 pts. :lolErr yes we're eternally grateful :rolleyes Shit it's not like we get a Big mac for it :hungry:

[rocyaice]

Just want to be the first to say Thanks Mark Cuban.

[lefty]

Poor Mavs

They'll never know what it feels like to win a title...

They were so clooose last year :toast

[rasho8]

:rolleyes :rolleyes Crush? :drunk :drunk It will be anything but easy for you guys. I hope we get the Spurs tho because they bring out the best out of Dirk . He goes apeshit on them especially in the AT&T American Airlines Center.

Dirt goes apeshit when he doesnt get the phantom flop calls he wants... remember when he went apeshit on that training bike last year? Or hurt his little Dirt foot pansy-kicking the wall?

San Antonio. We have won 4 out of our last 5 games in that stadium so now the names of both stadiums merge.

you dont deserve that arena. It has 3 championship trophies the Mavs definitly did not earn.

[ducks]

A chance? WTH? Duncan and Finley are into beast mode now. Manu will beastify in the playoffs too.

I think Spurs crush Dallas in a 7 game series if the teams met NOW. Something like 4-2.

Duncan and Manu aren't injured like last year, and they will lay a spanking on Mavs as revenge.
duncan was not hurt against the mavs
tp was hurt

the spurs need three players to step up and beat the mavs maybe another player to

manu and duncan are not good enough to beat them by themselves

Duncan wasn't 100 %

[ducks]

tp could hardly walk in some of the off days against the mavs

[ducks]

Duncan wasn't 100 %
name one player who is


duncan was 90% healthy

[lefty]

name one player who is


duncan was 90% healthy


I would say 75.13 %

And yet he toyed with Mavs' bug men

At 100%, there is gonna even more toying

This was the most boring close game that I've ever attended. I thought I was going to fall asleep in the first half :lol

Timmy getting posterized by Manu was funny.

Fin had another good showing.

I wish Parker had sat out and rested his back - he says it's tight but that he'll be okay.

Let's get to the playoffs already.

Hmm.. I wonder if they'll show that highlight of Manu's put back dunK??

I think these games are just in the way of the playoffs now!!

Two more weeks!!

:drunk :drunk No that was the SBC Center era im talking the AT&T Center era. You have yet to win a title under that name. :)

:sleep :sleep Dirk's 3 point play in game 7 was anything but phantom. Gotta love the ref card you are pulling here. :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

This must be the worst post in the night. Tony was the only one making a difference in that game in the 3rd quarter. Perhaps you should just go and support the Mavericks and get the fuck out of here.. mutha fukking hater..
actually yeah, Parker had back to back 30 games...no reason to single him out today.

now I am a little wary about his posts...:dizzy

oh well, just ignore those biased posts

Could you describe the action? :)

Thanks!

[lefty]

Could you describe the action? :)

Thanks!

So, Manu was driving to the basket, and Timmy couldn't see him coming because of Brad Miller's fat ass

Manu yelled :" get out of the way Timmy!"
Timmy replied : " Qué ? "
Manu yelled again : "watch out!!!!"
Timmy : "Qué ????"

Then posterization

Anyway, Tim should've gotten used to this after the last Olympics :)

hope TP will just be okay.

what is this news that Brent Barry banged his head again? why he kept banging his head against other players :lol
------------------------------
from Express News

There is something about the Sacramento Kings that gives Spurs guard Brent Barry a headache.
For the third time this season, and the second time against the Kings, Barry banged heads with an opposing player and required the attention of trainer Will Sevening.

This time it was Kings guard Kevin Martin who cracked noggins with Barry with 1:27 left in the Spurs' 109-100 victory Wednesday at the AT&T Center.

At least Barry did not require stitches to close a wound this time around. When he butted heads with Kings guard Ronnie Price on Nov. 19 in Sacramento, he needed two layers of stitches, nine on top and three under the skin, to close a gash.

"They call me 'Bones' for a reason," said the slender veteran. "There's not much between my skin and my skeletal system."

Could you describe the action? :)

Thanks!funny was Tim's reaction after the game :lol
-----------
After Parker missed a short jump shot late in the second quarter, Ginobili flashed to the rim and jammed the rebound — over Duncan's head.

"I had no idea who it was until I turned around and there was a white jersey hanging on my shoulders," Duncan said. "It was supposed to be my rebound. He's supposed to be my teammate. He's supposed to be my boy.
"That's fine. I'll get him back. I don't know when it's going to be, but I'll get him back."

:lmao :lmao :lmao

Yes, he had a great scoring night against Portland, yet THE TEAM wasn't scoring more points than it was allowing while he was out there, in part because Jarrett Jack was lighting him up pretty decent in his own right and in part because our interior defense was crap.

Today, when I wrote what I did about Tony, in the 3rd quarter, he was a -10 at that point. Can you comprehend that? The team was getting outscored with him on the floor by 10. Why? Because, in part, Bibby was scoring a lot of points.

He finished the game at an even zero +/- because in the 4th he turned up the defense. He took one whole shot and missed it, but he had two dimes in a quarter the team scored 30 points.

I've said this over and over again, but nobody seems to understand. The team doesn't need Tony to score a lot to win, they just need him to play smart team basketball. If you pay attention to the games and studied the data, you'd figure these things out for yourself.

The best games Tony plays and the best games we play as a team are when he's locked in on defense and not looking for his shot so much.

You wanna call me biased or a hater, go ahead. But I do my research and I pay attention.

Alright, I'm just saying, just lay off Tony a little.

It looked like you were singling him out at times.

I'm sure you're criticizing him. And I didn't get to watch the game today.
IMO , I think he's starting to get a feel for when to run the offense smoother and when to score this year, but for the most part, he still has those lapses where he looks for his shot "tunnel vision" and the rest of the team offense stagnates.

Also apparently Tony was a little tight in the game, because he was hurt. We won anyway. Besides, I don't think what you're disappointed about Tony's shortcomings during games like these, is ever a problem during the playoffs, in terms of affecting whether we're in the "minus" or not.

[SRJ]

aaronstampler, I am perfectly willing to accept your statistical findings as fact. However, the tone of your posts is hard to deal with for this reason:

Your consistent assertion is that Tony Parker is shooting too often and selecting poor shots, and you seem to take Parker to task for it. Why wouldn't you lay the blame for this at the feet of Gregg Popovich?

From all accounts, Popovich is generally comfortable with the volume of Tony's shooting. He has evidently decided that the team performs satisfactorily with Tony playing the point guard position in the way that he plays it. One could argue that Popovich has simply played the hand he was dealt, but the opportunity existed, just a few short years ago, to change direction at point guard. Instead, Parker was offered a new contract of 6 years and 66 million dollars. Presumably, what Popovich thought about Parker's game had a big influence on that contract offer. Again, by all accounts, there is no evidence that the Parker contract went through over Pop's objections.

If Parker's play is in consistent conflict with Pop's gameplan, then Parker should be criticized. But, after weighing the evidence, I have to conclude that Parker is playing the game Popovich wants him to play most of the time. Therefore, it would seem that your criticism of Parker's role lies with the coach, not the player.

I'm not trying to be snarky or fan any flames here - I'm just relating what I see. I hope I was fair, and I did my level best to be civil about it.

:drunk :drunk No that was the SBC Center era im talking the AT&T Center era. You have yet to win a title under that name. :)

Well Mavs have yet to win a title in the "ATT American Airlines Arena" era, or in fact any era, period.

[ducks]

tony was off little last night but kori talked to him and he said his back was tight
POP should have rested him

[Testing]

Parker was a -1 against the Blazers. I don't think he's doin' too hot in this one either.


:wtf He scored 30 points against the Blazers...how was he a -1??

This entire game thread you bashed Parker...he had 14 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds. Not a bad game considering he was playing hurt,

[aaronstampler]

I don't mean to single him out or anything, but it gets annoying when people get excited about a player out for just having a good scoring game, especially at the point guard position, and don't pay attention to the other things.

Except for the 4th quarter last night, Tony has been pretty lax on defense the last three games. It's frustrating because up to this point I had thought that defense was his biggest improvement this season, besides the FT shooting.

His ability to stay with and frustrate Iverson, Barbosa, even holding up against Billups was critical in wins over Denver, Phoenix and Detroit. How many opposing points has he gotten pissed off to the point of technical fouls and ejections this year?

I was unaware he was hurt and perhaps if that's the case Kori was right. It just appeared to me that he was expending most of his effort/energy at one end of the floor for the majority of the game, and absolutely nobody on the Spurs can play that way.
