Thanks.

I think the Spurs are going to come out and play well. Since they played last night, it'd be great if they can just blow them out early and get the bench in there. The Warriors don't have much fire power and would have to play a perfect game to pull this one out.

Claxton should play well. Unlike Shedo, he'll come and try to stick it to his former team. Pop shouldn't put Beno on Claxton ... there's just too much difference in speed (no pun intended). Beno versus Fisher would be a nice matchup.

I expect Manu to struggle some. He played a lot of minutes last night and hasn't had great success in back-to-back situations. Hopefully he proves me wrong.

Today's rhetorical blog question:

If Claxton was from Slovenia like Rasho and Beno...would he be named Speedo?

:hat

[iminlakerland]

No fisher :( hes injured :(

[boutons]

Spurs fnck around like last night, not earning their millions, Warriors keep it close, then some Warrior, like Richardson, goes nutz in the last 5 minutes, hits 5 3's, Warriors steal game.

:hat

:lol At least that's not as bad as Craigo.

[Solid D]

Nice to see Bruce so aggressive on his shooting.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Rasho with back to back stuffs, nice!

Speedy's frustration of Tony Parker continues.

[ChumpDumper]

WTF is Murphy thinking driving into the blockers three times in a row?

[ChumpDumper]

Ok it worked that time,

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

LOL, way to use your head Cliff!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

WTF is Murphy thinking driving into the blockers three times in a row?

Um, getting rejected. Bad.

[ChumpDumper]

Rasho with the bad Dirk fadeaway.

[ChumpDumper]

Countdown to Wilks....

[ChumpDumper]

Manu looks extremely tentative.

[ChumpDumper]

Oh, it's because they're beating him up.

[ChumpDumper]

Malik is a rabid dog on the boards.

Why won't anyone shoot when they have a shot?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Malik in "midseason" AHF lovin' form.

[ChumpDumper]

About time for Barry isn't it?

[boutons]

Spurs suck tonight, AGAIN! 1st qtr, score 16 pts(64/game), and allow 27 pts (108/game). These guys have no pride.

WTF is wrong with these guys?

It's no fun to watch, and it can't be any fun to play that way.

[ChumpDumper]

Spurs playing scurred, Tony finally takes a shot after a drive.

Others should take note.

[Solid D]

Golden St. is scoring like crazy and they are playing very aggressively.

Bad floor game and poor FT shooting by Spurs again.

Parker needs to stay out of foul trouble because Claxton is too quick for Beno. Mario and Speedy know the Spurs plays and tendencies pretty well.

[ChumpDumper]

Stand around and let Tony try to win the game alone.

Might work if Claxton stays out.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

About time for Barry isn't it?

Actually overdue by what I can tell so far. I know he doesn't play defense (according to the experts), but there's a few others on the court tonight you could say that about too.

BTW,

Props to Horry, trying to wake the team up.

[ChumpDumper]

bing

[ChumpDumper]

SHOOTERS SHOOT

[whottt]

Suck it haters! And he busted Richardson's ass too!

And for extra credit he even shot a FT Spurstyle!

[ChumpDumper]

Robinson.

And we all knew he had it in him.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yo timvp and Marcus, what's up fools?

[whottt]

Pop didn't. Otherwise he might have given him more important time against Houston and Det.

[ChumpDumper]

You can hear him directing the team.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Barry is a balla

Barry + Manu = Warrior killers.

[ChumpDumper]

Pop didn't. And so begins the bitching.

[whottt]

And now begins the being right again.

Note I could give two shits about our bet. I'm glad you might finally be right about something. I was beginning to feel like a bully.

It's also good to see that Pop has been reading the forum and has started to listen to wise folk like AHF and myself.

And not the haters.

[whottt]

Told you mother fuckers he does more than just shoot threes and it is stupid to judge him that way.

[ChumpDumper]

Note I could give two shits about our bet.THEN STFU ABOUT IT YOU LOSER BITCH!

[whottt]

Thisi is the fucking team we saw for the first 18 games of the season!!!!!!!!!! Until Pop fucked it up!

[whottt]

THEN STFU ABOUT IT YOU LOSER BITCH!


No, because it pisses you off and I've been lookin for something that does that for a long time.

Expect to hear about it often.

[ChumpDumper]

Expect to hear about it often.LMFAO.

Ok, I win. And you can't shut up about being a loser.

Delicious.

[whottt]

Why is Wilkes coming in for Beno?

Was Beno playing bad or something?

[ChumpDumper]

Told you mother fuckers he does more than just shoot threes and it is stupid to judge him that way.I said it takes away frim his game and the Spurs O when he doesn't. He came out shooting and everything opened up.

Bravo.

Firestarter.

[ChumpDumper]

Was Beno playing bad or something?Whottt only watches when Barry plays.

And yes, he's seen enough of Claxton.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Thisi is the fucking team we saw for the first 18 games of the season!!!!!!!!!! Until Pop fucked it up!

Amen.

And nice play there Pop, let's get it in to Rasho for the last shot.

[whottt]

Actually tard, I just got back from getting some scum out of jail and missed most of the first quarter.

[ALVAREZ6]

Whottt and Chump,

why don't both of you STFU

[ChumpDumper]

Actually tard, I just got back from getting some scum out of jail and missed most of the fierst quarter.The holidays are time for family....

[whottt]

I said it takes away frim his game and the Spurs O when he doesn't. He came out shooting and everything opened up.

Bravo.

You can't just yank the dude if his shot isn't falling. He has hit in the second half all season long.

And before we get too happy...it's still only Golden State...and New Orleans just about two of the worst teams in the NBA, these aren't the games he's been getting yanked in, Seattle, Detroit, Orlando, Houston are the games he's been getting yanked. It's time to use the Horry, Parker, Barry, Manu/Bowen and Duncan lineup just a bit in some "big" games.

Barry and Manu should be devastating running the court together...actually similar type players except Manu is tougher and wilder...Barry is more fundamentally sound.

[ChumpDumper]

You can't just yank the dude if his shot isn't falling.You can yank him when he passes up open shots.

Care to make a prediction about Barry's minutes in the next "big" game?

[boutons]

The Spurs suck, this cold-streak, hot-streak roller-coaster shit has to stop. Play all 48 minutes, don't depend on thes cheap-trick adrenalin rushes to pull your lazy asses out.

I think Brent's style of play, the snappy passes and ball movement, lit the fire.

[whottt]

NBo fuck tard, do you see his passes? He helps just with his passing and his offensive IQ...this is why I was bitching about his benching. They should have a stat called assist assists and you'd see what Barry does.



Besides, we need to see how he is going to play in big games.

As for the prediction, yes, and I'll predict they'll be low right now, I'll even make a bet on it. Hey it worked with Devin and it got Barry off the bench.


Pop seems to exist to be a pain in my ass...hopefully he'll continue.

[MannyIsGod]

I simply don't know if I can remember a time where we had this kind of depth at guard. Fuck man, we are Sacramento of 2 years ago with DEFENSE. I love this so much.

We've never had this type of depth at guard before. Hopefully we'll utilize all of them for the entire season..and our bigs are deep too.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn ref, don't you know the sound of hand on ball?

[timvp]

Yo timvp and Marcus, what's up fools?

http://www.nba.com/media/spurs/barry_140_041026.jpg

Huh?

All I said is that Barry will get more minutes once he starts playing better.

So be it.

[pjjrfan]

Rasho got robbed, by the refs, that block was all ball. What a travesty!!!! As much grief as I give Rasho, he got cheated out of a great play.
