[JUUOT]

do someone know if hinrich is guard by ginobili or parker?

[ALVAREZ6]

probably parker, PG's

[Solid D]

Man, the Spurs get off to a great start and then they start letting Nocioni and others get into the paint way too much to close out the quarter.

Pop will deal with that, I'm sure.

[ducks]

rasho 1-8

[JUUOT]

first game TP is actually really finding his shot
2on 3 behind the arc

[JUUOT]

midway in the second quarter we are outscored in the paint 18 to 8 confirming solid D saying we were giving too much room in the paint

[ducks]

6 rebounds for rasho

[JUUOT]

but Rasho and Tim do not seem to be in the game. Two consecutive offensive rebound and two missed shots for rasho ? and tim 0 out of 3 attempts. count on tim too wake up in the third

[ducks]

3-4 from downtown for tp

[JUUOT]

Parker is starting to earn his contract! he is carrying the team in the first half! 13 points on 5/6 whereas the team is shooting less than 40%. 3 assistats and 3/4 behind the arc with a nice buzzer shot to close the half.

On the negative point rasho and tim are a combined 2/14 shots.

overall the team is not playing great.But against a poor chicago team it means 9 points at the half...

[boutons]

spurs suck, TD did not score in 1st qtr, barry still sucks, everybdoy blowing entry passes to posts, yuck. Tim putting the ball on the floor, falling down, two Bulls on top of him, laughable. nice warm-up for SEA

[JUUOT]

I feel bad the only block we get for the half came from horry...that tell much about the game...

[JUUOT]

I agree boutons it looks like a warm up.

[timvp]

Brent Barry is making Charlie Ward's defense seem awesome. Why is Pop going to him first when Devin is outplaying him so badly?

[timvp]

Rasho's 1-for-8 first half didn't help too much, either.

[JUUOT]

because we need barry for the play off and the solution is not to hide him in the locker room. a warm up against chicago is actually a good game to give him playing time.

[Solid D]

If the Spurs make the adjustments at halftime that they have been making during this streak, the Spurs should have a big 3rd quarter. We'll see how they respond.

[ducks]

looks to me that duncan is thinking about the bears instead of basketball
I told people duncan should have been pissed bears lost yesterday and not have won

[ducks]

manu 4 t.os'

[Solid D]

For those not watching, Bulls doing a nice job of collapsing the lane. Deng has a smooth stroke on offense.

[milkyway21]

first game TP is actually really finding his shot
2on 3 behind the arcPops said TP is the Spurs' most accurate 3pt shooter right now. If Barry will find his shots again this team will dominate 'til playoff time. :smokin

[Solid D]

Actually, Beno is more accurate 3-pt. shooter right now.

[JUUOT]

with 21 mn to play parker scored more than duncan, rasho and bowen combined. this is a bad game as a team

[Solid D]

Curry had a major block on Timmy going strong to the cup. Impressive collapsing D.

[JUUOT]

so hinrich is guard by tp. i would think manu would do this?

[Solid D]

No Parker is defending Heinrich right now. Barry finally hits a three in rhythm from the wing.

[ducks]

5:11 SA - B. Barry makes a 26-foot three-pointer from the right wing. Assist: B. Bowen

[Solid D]

Bulls getting sloppy.

[ducks]

4:31 SA - T. Massenburg steals the ball from E. Curry
4:43 CHI - T. Chandler steals the ball from T. Massenburg
4:56 SA - T. Massenburg steals the ball from T. Chandler

way to steal the ball

[JUUOT]

So it means parker has really step up this year in D. hinrich 0/5 for 0 points and 3 assists. For the season he is 14 points and 7 assists. good job.

viewing this thread.

[Solid D]

Parker and Brent in the backcourt. Bruce, Malik and Massenburg frontcourt. Mass is giving the Spurs some inside toughness but poor penetration protection the last two trips. Barry heating up a bit.

[Manu20]

Nice posts guys, it really helps for those who are not watching the game. (Like Me)

[1Parker1]

Devin Brown started this game instead of Bowen?

[Solid D]

Heinrich tries an awkward, well-defended underhand scoop, Manu has great position for rebound and Heinrich over the back with 3 sec. left. Dumb foul. 2 FTS gives Spurs a nice 15 point cushion at the end of the 3rd. Manu steals inbound but doesn't shoot jumper, he tries to take it to the cup and he charges Griffin. Good finish, though.

[JUUOT]

gino 5 to but spurs up to 15 margin at the ned of third quarter.
Parker putting the game on his shoulder. Ithink J. Kidd coming back tonight pushed him lol, he does not want to be traded lol. barry geting less worst.

[milkyway21]

because we need barry for the play off and the solution is not to hide him in the locker room. a warm up against chicago is actually a good game to give him playing time.The Spurs looked tired but they didn't suck. What can I say-they're making 53% in 3pt. shooting! NOTE:Good to see Barry playing more minutes.

[Solid D]

Devin Brown started this game instead of Bowen?

No, Bowen started.

[JUUOT]

no bowen started like usual!

[Solid D]

This combo on the floor to start 4th.
Beno & Manu guards. Devin Brown, Horry and Malik up front.

[JUUOT]

should Parker be benched in the fourth to focus on wednesday night ?
personnally i think he gives his best when playing a lot, but what do you think?

[Solid D]

Bulls in a matchup zone. Malik massively strong dunk in traffic with nice inside feed from Horry.

[JUUOT]

horry with 2 blocks proves he is not dead...

[manustarting2gd]

D. Brown with 2 threes on three possesions; the second coming with 8:53 in the Fourth..

[Solid D]

Nice perimeter passing...much quicker than in the first half. Beno and Devin stroking it from the outside.

[SuperManu!!!]

Why manu keeps trying 3pointers?????

[Solid D]

Bowen runs the wing on the break and Udrih throws terrific 1/2 court pass for easiest layup in history.

[Solid D]

Bulls packing bags early.

[Nikos]

Is Manu trying to set a record for most turnovers per minute?

[Solid D]

Duncan giving Malik and Mass a rest :lol

[Solid D]

The last TO by Manu was a nice pass to Malik but Malik wasn't ready for it or had wet hands. It went right through his hands. Manu is just being aggressive.

[Solid D]

Pop going crazy on subs now. Wilks going to come in soon. Mass and Malik, Beno, Devin and Bruce Bowen.

[JUUOT]

wilks, barry and brown + rose and massenburg, this is garbage minute time!

[Solid D]

Cowboys takes lead on Seahawks at the end of the half. Sorry, Spurs game got boring. :hat

[JUUOT]

we wont blame you

[Solid D]

Have a nice evening folks. This game is over like a rainbow. Another W and another strong 3rd quarter and early 4th quarter.

[JUUOT]

I was trying to be on barry's side but he just blow a 16 margin and made me lost my first bet on vbooki. hopefully he and I will do better.

[Manu20]

Barry went 3 for 5 from the field, not bad. But only 1 assist, I would like to see more out of him.

[Kori Ellis]

Barry went 3 for 5 from the field, not bad.

He actually went 3-for-6, but at least he knocked down a 3-pointer. That 0-for-17 streak was killing me.

[JUUOT]

i think it was killing him above all.
now he is ready for a breakout game wednesday! hopefully.

[Kori Ellis]

Devin had another good night - 14 points and six boards. And 3-of-4 from downtown.

It's good to have the luxury of the versatility and depth of this team.

[Solid D]

One of Brent's 2s was straddling the arc, also.

[Solid D]

Spurs with 29 in the third, following recent trend. Way too many turnovers. Tim gets some rest and TP does too. All Spurs under 30 minutes each.

[Manu20]

Nice to see Devin have another good game.
Could it be that he will be a consistent scorer off the bench?

[JUUOT]

yes barry and brown cumulated for 8/14 field goals 4/7 3's 8 rebounds and 21 points. Devin is showing a consistency we did not know he was ableto bring to the table and appraently his work on the three points is paying of but barry is starting contributing again. what a nice back up backcourt if you add beno. you could rest tp manu and bowen at the same time with no worry.

[ducks]

chandler had a awesome game for bulls

[Kori Ellis]

Way too many turnovers.

One person who needs to settle down just a tad in that department is Manu. I don't want him to become reserved, but he needs to get some sense of control. In the last few games, he's averaging around five/game, I think.

[JUUOT]

by the way another game with 5 players with more than 3 assists. tp and gino 5, bowen 4, udrih and horry 3

[Manu20]

One person who needs to settle down just a tad in that department is Manu. I don't want him to become reserved, but he needs to get some sense of control. In the last few games, he's averaging around five/game, I think.

In the past 5 games he is averaging 3.6 Turnovers/game. Not Bad.

[timvp]

In the past 5 games he is averaging 3.6 Turnovers/game. Not Bad.

Yeah ... that's pretty bad.

[Kori Ellis]

I was talking about the last three games actually -- I think he's averaging 4.8.

[Dario]

How did beno play? Personally i would like him to get higher scores, but for team i guess its better that he keeps passing. Yesterday i watched sa-dallas game and i noticed that beno and devin are playing terrific when they are together on the court, beno is like typical euro PG with his game and devin is incredibly athletic guy, who is able to penetrate to the basket with ease. I wonder how would beno-parker matchup work?
Congrats on W vs bulls
