Awesome game by Hedo Turkoglu. When the Spurs needed him the most, he came through. He was a perfect 0-for-4 in the fourth quarter, after starting the game off cold ... going 3-for-4 in the first three quarters. When he had Malik Rose isolated on the perimeter, he did the smart thing of taking two dribbles and then forcing a toe on the line 22-footer. He also was money on his patented layups down the stretch.

I can't wait until the next time they play the Magic and the Spurs can bring out the secret weapon ... HIDAYET TURKOGLU.

Awesome.

:smokin

:lol

Two straight possessions in the fourth, two straight Hedo missed layups.

[Athenea]

You're sooooooooo mean to Hiddenyet Turkoglu!!!!
:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[mattyc]

Very glad Hegone.

[Karl Mundt]

Yep, sure couldn't use a 6th man of the year who can play SF

I love all these nicknames for He Does Not, such as "Hiddenyet'... :lol

No wonder Pop ran up and congratulated Hedo after the game. :)

Probably offered him some tacos.

[BigVee]

It is always comforting to know that there are certain things you can count on in life......family, friends, etc...but most of all that 1. Hedo cannot make a left-handed layup and 2. Steve Francis will dribble out a win for you in a close game.

[SuperManu!!!]

Thanks to Hedo, I won some money on VBookie!!!!

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Timvp, that was the funniest post I've read in a long time!

:lol

[violentkitten]

nice. cold, but nice.

[wildbill2u]

and completely vanishes in important matches in the playoffs.

You mean like TP and Bowen and Horry and ....

Let's not use Hedo as a scapegoat for guys we like better. The whole team (outside of Devin) stunk up the playoffs last season.

Devin Brown anyone?

[boutons]

"The whole team (outside of Devin) stunk up the playoffs last season"

Not true. Applies only to the 4 losses to the Lakers. Prior to that, there was a 17-game Spurs streak that included 6 playoff games.

[Karl Mundt]

Devin Brown anyone?

He would be great, the problem is he's only 6'5''. He's much better suited as a shooting guard. He will see minutes at the SF, but with Bowen not really that big either, the Spurs still need someone who can guard the big SF's. I'm hoping Linton can become that. BTW, does anyone know the nature of his contract?

[exstatic]

Didn't seem to bother Pop in the fourth last night. The stretch lineup was, in height order:

Beno
Devin
Malik
Manu
Tim

They didn't seem to have any problems guarding the 6'8" Grant Hill or the 6'10" Hedo.

Athenea is very good at coming up with these names!

I know it's a minor point, but since when is Manu taller than Malik?

[TheWriter]

Manu = 6'6

Malik = 6'5

[exstatic]

Watch the games sometime, Bronx. When you see the players next to each other during a TO or on the sideline, well, damn, Tony must have grown, too. Malik is barely taller than him anymore. It's been pretty well accepted that Malik is a true 6'5".

TimMVP, you can't seem to get over your Hedo hatred. What, did he fuck your mama? He's had plenty of big games for the Spurs. That shot against Rose was because the Magic needed a 3 at the time, it was reasonable. Hedo is playing well this year, he has moved on, why don't you do the same. I can't wait to see the Spurs go down again this year so I can get a kick out of watching the next scapegoat roast.

Yeah, I admit that I haven't been to a game in person in a long time (It's a long way down there). You can't tell much on my broke-ass TV. :lol

Except when they counted.

In the playoffs. And against his old team.

Hedo's not making a return visit to SA until next season, so it's all good from our end.

Except that, as timvp said, his toe was on the line. If you need the three, TAKE the three, not the long two.

Good to see that Hedo's tampon is safe and sound. Hopefully you are female because your man-love for Hedo is scary.

You admitted it yourself. Hedo is a good player without pressure of the playoffs or winning games. He's a good player on a mid-tier team with no championship hopes. And I agree, Hedo can produce in that type of situation. He's a good basketball player ... he just lacks balls. No biggie, I guess.

And to show his mindset, before the game he said he was rooting for the Spurs to win the championship this season. While that is a nice statement to make about your former team, you'd think that he might be rooting for his own team ... seeing as though the Magic are one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference this season.

It just goes to show you that Hedo is missing a two particular family jewels. But it's good to see you around, Taruky. I'm guessing it's that time of month.

:hat

[SuperManu!!!]

HEY EVERYONE!!!! Don't forget that Hedo is the MVP!!!!! :lol
So we better show some respect

Oh geez, more Argentenian humor. I missed that. :rolleyes

By the way, Hedo still has an opportunity to burn you all in a few days. I could care less where it is, Orlando would be just fine.

I doubt it was his mom that Hedo was looking at.

"Is that Cabbage I smell?" "yes Turkish ManLove potion, you likey?"

[mattyc]

He's had plenty of big games for the Spurs.
And where did he go after the first 82?

Hegone is terribly mentally soft. Suits him to be on a team that has no pressure on it to win the championship.
