Spurs vs. Rockets - Nov. 16 Game Blog

[mystargtr34]

Houston still shooting 52%...

[SpurOutofTownFan]

What the hell? Spurs have regularly owned Phoenix.

Doesn't matter, they are still the most dangerous team out there for us.

[Johnny RIngo]

Doesn't matter, they are still the most dangerous team out there for us.

Spurs are 15-6 against Nash's Suns. They're the LEAST dangerous of all the top contenders for us.

[mystargtr34]

Doesn't matter, they are still the most dangerous team out there for us.

Even though i was being completely sarcastic in my previous posts about Dallas and Houston.. they still present more problems for us than Phoenix.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Beautiful ball movement

[SpursFanFirst]

[easjer]

Lord Parker can't hit the broadside of the barn tonight. Yuck. I'm glad he's continuing to shoot and all, blah blah, but yuck.

[TDfan2007]

[TDfan2007]

Tim is getting mugged out there but no calls.

[easjer]

Oh fuck. They are just annoying me.

Tim, just play, man. And can we please see DWash. And Barry? I like them.

[duncan228]

Duncan pissed.
Usually is a good thing.

[peskypesky]

Scola>Oberto

[td4mvp21]

Call the fucking fouls dumb fucking refs!!!!

[hitmanyr2k]

You can tell Scola had this game X'd on his calendar lol. He's doing it on both ends right now.

[nkdlunch]

Scola is a fucking destroyer

[mystargtr34]

Thank you...I'm never sure where to check for those stats.


.745

35-47

To be exact

[remingtonbo2001]

WTF...No call

However, I do like the fact the officiating is loose tonight, on BOTH ends of the floor.

[nkdlunch]

SCOLA!!! :lol

Holyshit, he just outflopped Ginobli :lol

that was not a flop btw he had his feet set

[TDfan2007]

Tim should be killing Scola but it's not happening right now...Rockets are right back in this one.

[Martin R]

Scola is going to be a monster once he gets accostume to NBA type of play.

[boutons_]

Tony 8 pts through almost 3 qtrs. He must be sick or he ran out of pep pills.

Scola, the Spurs killer. :)

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peskypesky]

Dr. Ginobili cauterizes the wound again.

[Spurs Brazil]

Cisco J

[easjer]

Better out of the timeout. Thanks to Gino.

[tradewiz]

forget Bonzi, scola is the new spur killer now.

[hitmanyr2k]

The bench is going to work. Lately the bench has looked a lot better than the starters lol.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TDfan2007]

Manu back to back 3s!!!

[Udrihlooms]

can't imagine how Scola fans will start a million thread about this game afterwards...

[peskypesky]

Dr. Ginobili OPERATING!!!

[Johnny RIngo]

Scola, the Spurs killer. :)

I thought that was Bonzi?

[Cherry]

Manu 3 :toast

[Leetonidas]

Manu saying "fuck Scola, I'm the best Argentinian in this bitch!"

[mystargtr34]

SCOLAAAAAA........CLANK... Manu time to take over now...

[easjer]

Tony 8 pts through almost 3 qtrs. He must be sick or he ran out of pep pills.

Scola, the Spurs killer. :)


Tony's been off, but he's at least making the effort.

[TDfan2007]

Manu going off right now

[nkdlunch]

Manu! Manu! Manu!!!!!

[peskypesky]

The bench is going to work. Lately the bench has looked a lot better than the starters lol.
Two games in a row. :smokin

[Cherry]

can't imagine how Scola fans will start a million thread about this game afterwards...

i dont see any thread but i´m very happy for Luis. :toast

[Spurs Brazil]

Stupid Elson

[mystargtr34]

Manu is going to work. Lately Manu has looked a lot better than the starters lol.
Fixed.

[Tek_XX]

Elson can't seriously think that would be called a block.

[TDfan2007]

where's mikefin? He's been MIA since the 2nd.

[Jason_Terry]

Rocket shouldn't even be in this. No T-Mac, Yao playing bad, poor 3 point shooting. Spurs should be up by 15-20 points.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Elson is dumb?

[nkdlunch]

why did u fucking touch it. Elson u moron!!!

[Nikos]

Is Manu trying to set an NBA record for most turnovers in the least amount of minutes?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Rocket shouldn't even be in this. No T-Mac, Yao playing bad, poor 3 point shooting. Spurs should be up by 15-20 points.
Manu and Tony have had subpar games.

[vander]

can't imagine how Scola fans will start a million thread about this game afterwards...

we're not so much scola fans, as fans of good Front Office decision making

[nkdlunch]

Rocket shouldn't even be in this. No T-Mac, Yao playing bad, poor 3 point shooting. Spurs should be up by 15-20 points.

you obviously don't know the Spurs. Most of the time they play at level of the opponent but also most of the time they beat that opponent.

being a Spur fan is hard but it's worth it

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Is Manu trying to set an NBA record for most turnovers in the least amount of minutes?
Scola got him a couple times with offensive fouls.

Also I think Wade had that record last year.

[mystargtr34]

Rocket shouldn't even be in this. No T-Mac, Yao playing bad, poor 3 point shooting. Spurs should be up by 15-20 points.

Like i said... were just hoping to avoid Dallas and Houston in the playoffs

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Spurs are 15-6 against Nash's Suns. They're the LEAST dangerous of all the top contenders for us.

It's just doesn't matter how many times we beat them - assuming they aren't dangerous to us becaue we beat them more times is like expecting the mavs to choke every year so we don't ahve to face them ever during play offs. Phoenix has a sick team - if they get to defend more they would be unstoppable. Houston has a terrific team but can't get past the first round. Dallas are perennial chokers.

Phoenix has beaten almost every other team except for the spurs when it counts. Our series with phoenix last year was highly contested and one of the hardest we ever played. They could have won as well and we played great basketball. Dallas beat us while we played like garbage most of teh time.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Tek_XX]

Rocket shouldn't even be in this. No T-Mac, Yao playing bad, poor 3 point shooting. Spurs should be up by 15-20 points.

Yeah you're right but thankfully our 4 championship rings will lift our spirits

[Jason_Terry]

Lol...did Elson just say fuck.

[duncan228]

You could hear Elson loud and clear. "Fuck."

[mystargtr34]

Cisco

[TDfan2007]

There's something wrong with the D. Back to back games giving up 50+% shooting just isn't like the Spurs...

[Spurs Brazil]

Barry 33333333333333333333

[Johnny RIngo]

Rocket shouldn't even be in this. No T-Mac, Yao playing bad, poor 3 point shooting. Spurs should be up by 15-20 points.

Rockets shooting 52%, Parker and Manu having a mediocre game, lots of TOs

[duncan228]

Duncan time.
Bring him back now.

[hitmanyr2k]

Brent...no hesitation. Nice to see.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol Alston owning Elson???

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan time.
Bring him back now.

Fuck Duncan...the bench is making shit happen. Reward them.

[TDfan2007]

Alston w/ the Circus shot then Brent counters w/ a 3. Brent's got the stroke going right now.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

man you got to give it to barry, he comes in and drops a three like nothing. those 3s are perfect, they just go in like water.

[Spurs Brazil]

You could hear Elson loud and clear. "Fuck."


He must be upset. A 6'1 guy made two layups in his face and he couldn't block

[peskypesky]

you obviously don't know the Spurs. Most of the time they play at level of the opponent but also most of the time they beat that opponent.

being a Spur fan is hard but it's worth it

well said. and so true.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Duncan time.
Bring him back now.
Bench have done a good job at giving us a cushion.

Duncan + Bench?

[Udrihlooms]

It's just doesn't matter how many times we beat them - assuming they aren't dangerous to us becaue we beat them more times is like expecting the mavs to choke every year so we don't ahve to face them ever during play offs.

I don't know about you, but whenever Spurs face the Suns, anything less than a win spoils my day. Our victories over those suns are becoming redundant and boring. They habitually lose to us, whenever Duncan decides the game's over.

Dallas is a more dangerous opponent for me.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

man you got to give it to barry, he comes in and drops a three like nothing. those 3s are perfect, they just go in like water.
I'm really glad we have Barry on our team still.

Spurs are lucky to grab a hold of legit 3 point shooters, that can shoot with the best of them.

[nkdlunch]

Barry got a beautiful shot. one of the most beautiful shots in NBA right now

[mystargtr34]

Fuck Duncan and his 25-11 in 29 minutes

[duncan228]

Bench have done a good job at giving us a cushion.

Duncan + Bench?

I want to see them put it away.
None of the "let them back in it" stuff.
Duncan's game is on.
Let him finish it.

[SuperManu!!!]

How was that a foul?

[peskypesky]

Fuck Duncan...the bench is making shit happen. Reward them.
What he said.

[Cherry]

Scola draws the foul on Manu and he´s out.

oh oh

[TDfan2007]

Tim has missed a lot of bunnies today. The offense has died.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pop getting stuck in a rut of going to Duncan. Fuck ball movement :rolleyes

[hitmanyr2k]

Has Darius Washington fallen off the face of the Earth? Popovich is so fuckin stupid sometimes.

[peskypesky]

No!!! No Tony!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The next time Vaughn takes a jumper early in the shot clock we should send him down to the Toros.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

And now Tony does the same thing as Vaughn. Added bonus: he does it coming in cold off the bench.

Our offense looks like shit.

[SuperManu!!!]

Is TP afraid to go to the rim? Last year when he was 1 on 1 he always attacked

[Spurs Brazil]

Brent huge

[peskypesky]

Why don't Spurs run more screens for Barry? Seems like that would get some buckets.

[hitmanyr2k]

Scola is doing a Clubber Lang impression on the Spurs right now.

"Cmon Balboa...made me wait!!" Bam bam. :lol

[SpursFanFirst]

My grandpa is going to curse the day he was born if he doesn't stop rooting on the Rockets. :wtf

[TDfan2007]

How the fuck are you going to call that? Yao is 7'5 and Tim knocked him down?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

well you can telll manu is not on the court right now, we can't make one play

[SuperManu!!!]

PLease don't give the excuse It's november...spurs have major adjustments to make yet

[yeahone]

that game so physical...suns would be complaining if they were playing

[nkdlunch]

Yao flopping. Scola killing us....

fuck!!!!

[TDfan2007]

Wow, Tim is getting owned this half...2-8 shooting.

[nkdlunch]

that game so physical...suns would be complaining if they were playing

Amare is writing to the league office right now. complaining about tonight's refs.

he is using crayons

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Fuck! Someone guard Scola!! Why do they keep leaving him open when he's hitting everything!

[Udrihlooms]

is this a career night for Scola? this guy chose to bring his game tonight vs. spurs. he definitely has a chip on his shoulder.

[thewatcher]

duncan just 3 miserable points in the 2nd half :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Boston tie game against Miami ??

[slayermin]

How the fuck are you going to call that? Yao is 7'5 and Tim knocked him down?

Sad day in the NBA when 7'5 guys draw charges.

[TDfan2007]

Why is it that Tim can't ever finish a game strong when he starts it strong?

[yeahone]

go spurs go

[easjer]

This is frustrating. Get the lineup back out that was working. Get Elson out there instead of Bonner, get Manu back out and seriously, send Parker home. And Vaughn.

[duncan228]

PLease don't give the excuse It's november...spurs have major adjustments to make yet

Of course they do.
It's November.
Adjustments get made all season.
They get better as the season goes on.
I don't think anyone has said they're playing as well as they can, or will.

This season they have played better earlier than usual, but they have a long way to go.
It will look good by the RRT.

[Johnny RIngo]

Scola and Yao flopping all over the place.

[easjer]

Rebounds again hurting. They need to MAKE their shots.

[TDfan2007]

Scola slaughtering us... and Tim can no longer hit shit.

[yeahone]

scola again

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp!!!!

[easjer]

Why do they give up leads? Just to piss me off? To keep it interesting?

[peskypesky]

Scola>Spurs?

[yeahone]

wow parker hit one from outside

[thewatcher]

Scola and Yao flopping all over the place.

now you know how the entire nba feels :lol

[td4mvp21]

THE FUCKING REFS need to call the bumps on Duncan.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great job Manu

[hitmanyr2k]

Nice shot Parker....good hustle Ginobili.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol @ Yao Ginobili never gives up on the play

[Tek_XX]

Yao is quite the complainer himself

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Why don't Spurs run more screens for Barry? Seems like that would get some buckets.

Because Pop has to run everything for Duncan in the fourth, even if he's playing like a pussy and throwing up lame jumpers.



Why is it that Tim can't ever finish a game strong when he starts it strong?

What is sad is he was having such a strong night offensively (25 points in the third) and then he started looking for the refs to bail him out. Whenever he does that, his game goes in the shitter.

And whenever he does that, Pop should recognize it and go elsewhere until he sacks up again.

[duncan228]

Why do they give up leads? Just to piss me off? To keep it interesting?

Some would say to sell beer.

[Findog]

Boston tie game against Miami ??

Let's not start sucking their dicks quite yet, gentleman. That goes for you too, Sports Guy.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I'm very concerned for we are about to lose first place at flopping. We will need to make more adjustments...

[nkdlunch]

no Mcgrady and Spurs are struggling damn!!!

[yeahone]

new jersey looks horrible this year

[Udrihlooms]

I'm very concerned for we are about to lose first place at flopping. We will need to make more adjustments...

:spin :clap :clap

[yeahone]

Kidd with 19 rebounds? nets dont have no forwards?

[objective]

smallball is back in full effect because Bonner can't be trusted on the court, and with good reason

[Findog]

Scola has 20 points? WTF?

[yeahone]

findoyyy

[Spurs Brazil]

Fin J

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I want OVertime!

[resistanze]

Wow, Scola 10-11, 20 points? He MUST read Spurstalk.

[yeahone]

outside shots looks to be falling

[Spurs Brazil]

TP clutch

[Findog]

Wow, Scola 10-11, 20 points? He MUST read Spurstalk.

The Wrath of Scola

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN Brent

[Cherry]

what a game :hungry:

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Under three minutes and Manu isn't even touching the ball :pctoss

[hitmanyr2k]

Remember when Yao used to be too gassed to finish games? He's taken it to another level this year.

[yeahone]

defenseeeeeeeeee

[yeahone]

manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Under three minutes and Manu isn't even touching the ball :pctoss

Speak of the devil...

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[hitmanyr2k]

Under three minutes and Manu isn't even touching the ball :pctoss

?? Ginobili has had the ball in his hands the last couple of plays creating for his teammates. There he goes again with the ball...and scores lol.

[Cherry]

Manuuu

[peskypesky]

Ginnnnooooobbbbiiiiillllliiiii!!!!!

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Omfgggg Manuuuuuuuuu

[yeahone]

manu the closerrr

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Manuuuuu FUCKING BALLING!!

[easjer]

All right that was good. Let's finish strong.

Been a good game, but way closer than I would like to see on a night that Bonzi is off and TMac isn't playing. . .

[SpursFanFirst]

I really wish I was at the ATT Center right now!

[yeahone]

he taking it up a notch this year

[hitmanyr2k]

All right that was good. Let's finish strong.

Been a good game, but way closer than I would like to see on a night that Bonzi is off and TMac isn't playing. . .

Scola has more than made up for T-Mac's absence. He's been a monster in this game.

[Fabbs]

SuperManu! 88-84

T-Park Findawgs jumper off the timeout was clutch. :blah
The shot he missed just prior was not gunning, Parker should have taken the shot, horked it over to Fins in an awkward position.

[peskypesky]

Dr. Ginobili applying the tourniquet.

[SuperManu!!!]

Barkley must have gone crazy

[hitmanyr2k]

Ginobili's wife taking over for Eva's absence lol.

[Johnny RIngo]

Remember when Yao used to be too gassed to finish games? He's taken it to another level this year.

It's still early in the season. Come playoff time we'll se how well his stamina holds up.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice job Brent

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

?? Ginobili has had the ball in his hands the last couple of plays creating for his teammates. There he goes again with the ball...and scores lol.

I don't want Manu creating when you know some of his teammates aren't clutch anyway.

I want him shooting with the game on the line.

[Tek_XX]

Does Manu's wife live here in SA?

[MaNuMaNiAc]

WHY THE FUCK IS BARRY GIVING IT TO TIM??? Manu was right there

[easjer]

I loved that Brent Barry save.

[SpursFanFirst]

Timmy seems a little annoyed at the line.

[Johnny RIngo]

These last two games would have been a whole lot easier if Parker wasn't playing like shit.

[SuperManu!!!]

Fuck brent, he just ruined his good game

[Tek_XX]

fuck you Duncan.

[clubalien]

Scola has 20 points? WTF?
scola>tim? :p:

[hitmanyr2k]

Hack-a-Tim worked.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

man Pop is spitting mad now, he clearly said "fucking ball"

[td4mvp21]

fuck you Duncan.
:wtf

[easjer]

Eh, Timmy should be making those shots. But yeah, Manu might have been the better option.

I was pleased with both Brent and Fin - I wouldn't have minded more Brent and less Tony/Jacque.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

thank god! game over

[duncan228]

Duncan Block.

[td4mvp21]

Duncan makes up for his two missed freethrows quite quickly.

[yeahone]

Duncan OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGG

[Spurs Brazil]

Tim Duncan!!!!!!!!!!!

[ace3g]

Td Block!!!!

[yeahone]

that block was jsut sickkkkk

[duncan228]

The block that saves the game.

[Tek_XX]

man Pop is spitting mad now, he clearly said "fucking ball"

The intra-conference trade hasn't worked out so far.

[yeahone]

Tdddddddddddddd

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Manu with another near triple double!! 19pts 9 rbds 7 assists

[easjer]

Great block. Good job hitting the FTs, Tony.

Good game tonight (though not as enjoyable as I might like, :lol).

In the end, this dogfight will serve them well, especially with the win.

[clubalien]

The Wrath of Scola
scola to spurs
as randy moss to cowboys

[flame]

Get that weak shit out Yao.

Good job Spurs. We win.

[yeahone]

Spurs Winnnnnnnnnnnnn

[td4mvp21]

Great game. Even though TMAC didn't play, I'll take it.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

man that spot on Adelman said everything, I have lots of respect for him, sad he always end up coaching losing teams.

[SpursFanFirst]

:elephant

[Manu20]

The most telling stat of the night, bonzi with 4 points and 2 rebounds! :wow

[yeahone]

anothe oppenent held under 90

[yeahone]

The most telling stat of the night, bonzi with 4 points and 2 rebounds! :wow

[mystargtr34]

[Johnny RIngo]

Duncan stuffs Yao with the clutch block. lol

[thewatcher]

and manu wins the game!! (like almost every IMPORTANT game) :lol

[milkyway21]

Duncan just visited this forum the other day. 20+pt performance in the last 2 games.

i think it's about time we trade this "aging" fella for Dampier :rolleyes

:lmao

[Fabbs]

man Pop is spitting mad now, he clearly said "fucking ball"
Was Pop addressing that to Tim Clunkin for not passing the ball to Findawg right before Yao hugged him?

[Texas_Ranger]

Yea baby!!!

[yeahone]

We played shit

we playeddd shit....but i would take that winnnnnnnnnnn

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Manu with another near triple double!! 19pts 9 rbds 7 assists

would be nice for him to just get selfish one game and go for the triple double

[bdubya]

:tu

That's the way - winning with a clutch stop. Nice block!

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Was Pop addressing that to Tim Clunkin for not passing the ball to Findawg right before Yao hugged him?

I think so however Manu was teh receiving end of part of the rant.

[fred33]

and manu wins the game!! (like almost every IMPORTANT game) :lol

don(t forget tony

[thewatcher]

:tu

That's the way - winning with a clutch stop. Nice block!

:rolleyes the game was over at the time

[Roxsfan]

lolz Boner

that was on purpose :smokin

[thewatcher]

what a boring "brokeback mountain" system the spurs* has :lol . i cant imagine them w/o manu

[ChumpDumper]

what a boring "brokeback mountain" system the spurs* has :lol . i cant imagine them w/o manuWhat a boring person you must be to do nothing but whine on some other team's board.

[Roxsfan]

Scola has more than made up for T-Mac's absence. He's been a monster in this game.


bull shit

scola played good, but he can never make up for tmac--unless its an off night for mac.


with tmac in, rockets win this one--so I'm sure your comment is total bs.

[ChumpDumper]

with tmac in, rockets win this oneExcuse city.

Says who? You don't know that. I think you forget that the Spurs still lead the Texas trio.

[SpursGO]

Excuse city.

ATL, never been to playoff city :lol

[Roxsfan]

Get that weak shit out Yao.

Good job Spurs. We win.


the only thing weak on this page is your IQ

[ChumpDumper]

ATL, never been to playoff city :lolNoob, never caught a clue.

[td4mvp21]

the only thing weak on this page is your IQ
I think he was talking about in the game? When Duncan stuffed Yao?

[meta2007]

Rockets' guards are horrible!

Rockets' guards are horrible!

Correction: Rafer Alston is horrible.

What did Manu do/not do on the play?

[Roxsfan]

Excuse city.

give me a break, the spurs should have beat them by double digits..........

It took all the sa prime-time players and most of the scrub-rotational players just to win this game.

[ChumpDumper]

Give me a break, not more excuses.

[barbacoataco]

Not a great game but the Spurs win. Interesting to see the Rockets without T-mac. They have a deep team and I thought their defense was maybe a little better without him, but they missed his scoring.

Parker is playing crappy, but he did hit some big shots tonight. I thought Barry played well and it always seems like things go good when he is in the game.

Houston has the potential to win a championship, but their challenge will be staying healthy and having the stamina in the playoffs. The West is so deep this year that every series will be against a tough team like Denver, Utah, New Orleans etc.

[E20]

Yeah I was never really worried that the SPurs would lose despite the close score. For some reason I thought they would win whether the game was close or not. I was more worried about Bonzi playing well and he didn't, which fucking made me furious. FUCK.............Then Alston who averages like 1 assist per game decides to get like 8. Everytime this happens to me, I play the safe route and input so and so into my fantasy roster and he fucks it up while some other person on my roster plays decent. I pray to god Cassell has a horrible game.

[leemajors]

bull shit

scola played good, but he can never make up for tmac--unless its an off night for mac.


with tmac in, rockets win this one--so I'm sure your comment is total bs.
this must have been JVG's fault.

[Roxsfan]

Says who? You don't know that. I think you forget that the Spurs still lead the Texas trio.


that was a pathetic showing by sa vs a tmac-less rox team.

can't use b2b as an excuse as the rockets beat sa nicely on the 2nd nite of the b2b last tue

[meta2007]

None of them is good! No one can shoot a 3 in the last min!

It was twofold, manu was supposed to receive the inbound I believe but he was closed so it went to tim and he didnt give it to fin. I think pop was upset at the whole thing and yelled out to manu first who was waking back and then tim caught the last part.

that was a pathetic showing by sa vs a tmac-less rox team.

can't use b2b as an excuse as the rockets beat sa nicely on the 2nd nite of the b2b last tue

So? It's fucking November. They have played pathetic for two games in a row. And went 1-1. Not bad.

Noob, never caught a clue.

bull shit

scola played good, but he can never make up for tmac--unless its an off night for mac.


with tmac in, rockets win this one--so I'm sure your comment is total bs.

Yeah, because T-Mac really lit the Spurs up a week ago lol. Man, Bonzi and Yao got you guys that win in Houston. T-Mac stunk it up.

wrong. Manu wasn't "closed". I don't know exactly why Barry didn't pass it to Manu but it wasn't because of Manu.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

would be nice for him to just get selfish one game and go for the triple double
I don't think he' ever would. But yeah, if he applied himself he'd get them easily..also if he was 'the Man' because he's the best creator on th team.

Yeah Barry settled for Duncan.

Manu was semi open.

50 games without Tmac
roxs are 11-39 for 22%
any questions?

thanx for playing.

Yeah, weak was a theme for the spurs tonight, they barely won....weak.
