Spurs vs. Timberwolves Dec. 23rd -- Game Blog

[timvp]

Big game.

[manustarting2gd]

Nuff said

[angel_luv]

Spurs will prevail!

[ducks]

both lost last game

were both looking foward to it to much?

[Walton Buys Off Me]

Where's Barry? Brown was useless in the first quarter, yet continues to play......?

Spurs might want to invest in a little team defense here or they'll be blown out by 25.

Pop has Rose guarding the game's best player? That's dumber than playing Brown over Barry.

[Walton Buys Off Me]

Hudson eating timvp's boy alive here....

[Rummpd]

This stinks, why was Tim out so soon and the defense seemingly stinks.

Spurs need to get back into game and take the 12 pont lead in half next 5 minutes.

[Manu20]

Where is Barry?

[Rummpd]

Where's Parker even though Beno just scored?

[Walton Buys Off Me]

WHY THE FUCK IS DEVIN BROWN IN THIS GAME?

HE HAS TWO AIRBALLS AND HAS BEEN BEAT EVERY TIME MINNESOTA GOES AT HIM OFFENSIVELY.

WHY
WHY
WHY

This is just insane.

This defies logic.

[Rummpd]

Manu takes a charge could be big!

Can someone stop
Candyman though please!

Horry!!!!!!

[Walton Buys Off Me]

Can Duncan grab a rebound? I know he doesn't like getting physical but Olowakandi has 4 offensive rebounds already. That's Olowakandi folks......Olowakandi.

Maybe you should start a "Bench Duncan" movement, too.

Maybe for Massenburg to get Duncan's minutes?

Take it to the top, W.

[Rummpd]

That friggin lane violation was big but Spurs playing hard to get back into game!!!

Has been Rasho been benched all night - tuned in late?

MadDOC

[Rummpd]

Bad Finish to half!!! Garnett 4 Duncan 0.

Not happy with this half at all. But game not over.

MadDoc

[TwoHandJam]

Devin Brown needs to be benched. I can only assume Pop is figuring on trading Rasho and Barry for a big because benching Barry all this time makes no sense whatsoever.

Long story short, our defense sucks. Badly. We haven't played defense for about 6 games now. I don't know what the fuck Pop is doing about it.

[RaphaelfromFrance]

Hi guys, don't u think this 2005 squad needs a bit of improvement at number 5?

[Experiment2100]

Barry and Rasho are in.

[Experiment2100]

Since they came in
Barry 4points 1reb
Rasho 2 mistakes around the basket, but a nice rebound against 4 minny players.

[RaphaelfromFrance]

can't watch the game but seems TD and KG are neutralizing each other, and what is Rasho doing on the floor? no stat, no impact?

[Experiment2100]

Not a good game shooting wise for either Duncan or Garnett. Rasho has barely played in the game.

[Dalamar_the_Dark]

What the hell are you guys even watching the game? Rasho in the third was awesome. A dunk a block a steal an offensive rebound. and towards the end he was flying man! Go Rasho!

[2pac]

"madsen's had a couple of key fouls here"

Gotta make everyone feel important at Christmas

[RaphaelfromFrance]

no offense Dalamar, but I would call it "awesome" considering the numbers.. said that I don't have the images.

[2pac]

I dont understand why that is a foul on Rose. Big men do that every time someone brings the ball up the court under pressure.

[Experiment2100]

9:19 in the 4th Minny 3 fouls more importantly 2 timeouts left.

[Dalamar_the_Dark]

Rasho with another block! Parker to GINOOOOOBBBBBBBBBBBIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIII I for TRRRRREEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY

[2pac]

I missed it somehow, but RASHO DUNKED OVER GARNETT

[Dalamar_the_Dark]

Rasho with a swwet turnaround jumper over Garnett!!!!!!!!

[Dalamar_the_Dark]

Rasho with ANOTHER BLOCK SHOT!!!!!!!!!!! Rasho is the MAN

[Experiment2100]

And to think 1 hour ago he was selling cotton candy. Gotta love these rag to riches Cinderella stories.

[Dalamar_the_Dark]

Gggggggiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooobbbbbbbbb bbiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ii

[Experiment2100]

Has Rasho "fouled" wally 3 times the quarter.

[2pac]

Rasho almost had that put back slam too.

Rasho for President.

[Dalamar_the_Dark]

BRUCE BOWEN with a big Trey

[Dalamar_the_Dark]

Rasho almost had that put back slam too.

Rasho for President.

Yeah right and next we'll be rooting for him to be MVP lol lol

[2pac]

Yeah right and next we'll be rooting for him to be MVP lol lol

Garnett has 7 turnovers and has been blocked by Rasho 3 times.

[Dalamar_the_Dark]

Bowen with a steal and dunk!

[Dalamar_the_Dark]

Good night Minny you dont have TMac to save you

[RaphaelfromFrance]

how come Cassel and Spree did nothing tonight? Dfense from Bowen or what?

[Dalamar_the_Dark]

Spree's injured and Cassell cant keep up with TPark's penetrations.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Cassell cant keep up with TPark's penetrations.

That statement is wrong on so many levels.

[kskonn]

yea they did have bowen on Cassell most of the night, he did a good job.

[RaphaelfromFrance]

defensively ok but Cassel is used to posting some numbers! Anyways good thing, move on to the title!

[RaphaelfromFrance]

thanks kskonn

[kskonn]

barkley just said that sam and spree had to get their head out of their ass and stop worrying about their contracts. He actually used the word ass on TNT.

[ALVAREZ6]

Ginobili did great, i loved the Spurs in the 3rd quarter, they came out firing and aggressive as hell.
Horry, Beno, Manu, Parker, Rasho..they all played great.
Barry showed that he can play, and Rasho had a good ,strong defensive game.

[RaphaelfromFrance]

that was a heck of a player and is a big Monsieur

[Solid D]

Parker defended Cassell a bunch of the time tonight and he really stepped it up. The Spurs really pressured the ball aggressively tonight in the 2nd half. Cassell's 6th TO caused Flip Saunders to yank him out for the rest of the game. Cassell was sloppy and not crisp on his passes or ball handling decisions. KG had 7 TOs so Cassell wasn't alone, there. Props to the Spurs pressuring the ball and then really going all out on their rotations and contesting every shot to the max.

The Spurs totally shut down the back court. What did they get, 3 points out of the PGs in the 2nd half? Wally kept the T-Wolves within striking distance with his drive-penetrations and FT shooting but it wasn't enough. Major 3s at key moments by Manu. coinciding with TOs killed any runs Minnesota tried to make.

SA broke their will.

[CHAMPS AGAIN]

When the SPURS win a game,someone always come up with an excuse they players hurt but tonight nothing yet.

B.S. ANTHONY CARTER did not play that is why we won. yea right!
