Spurs @ Wolves - Nov. 30 Game Blog

[Spurs Brazil]

Wolves FG-47.8%

[Budkin]

Timmy needs to put Jefferson in his place.

[spursrocksocks]

that commercial is fucking hilarious

[The Red Hood]

Haha that commercial was great. :lmao
THAT NEEDS to be put on youtube! :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

while I'm not crazy about the wolves announcers, I love how one of them seems to love the hell out of Manu
ha, so true.

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN Finley

1-10FG

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Finley cold as ice. 1-10, 0-6 from deep.

[TDfan2007]

The lineup with brent/manu at the point is what the Spurs should be doing instead of Vaughn's useless ass.

[pawe]

cmon Finley damn! you're gettin paid to score.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

finley with 1-9...

[TDfan2007]

okay this is getting regoddamndiculous. Pull Finley out!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

ok Spurs need to stop hanging around and kill the wolves by this point.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

okay this is getting regoddamndiculous. Pull Finley out!
Did Udoka slash Pop's tires or something?

[SAtown]

Vbookie update: Rebounds

Parker: 2
Finley: 5
Duncan: 12
Bowen: 2
Oberto: 2
Manu: 3
Elson: 3
Barry: 0
Vaughn: 0
Bonner: 2

[gospursgooo]

Finley is useless as usual!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD bank!!!!

[yeahone]

Knicks bounce back with a win

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Thanks Tim

[TDfan2007]

That's what I'm talking about! 24 second violation forced then Tim hits a jumper.

[TDfan2007]

Wow, Tony's been a turnover machine this game and now we lose the fucking lead...

We're -17 with Tony in the game

[milkyway21]

OMG, what happened to NY vs Mil?

88-87 just a 1-pt def 29 sec let in the4Q? :lol

[loveforthegame]

That's about as cold as I've seen Finley. His 6 rebounds and 2 assists must be why Pop is keeping him in the game. Not sure why else he would.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Well at least Pop has Manu coming in to join Tim. Finley's off. Parker's not as intense tonight so far.

[Budkin]

Vaughn and Finley need to GTFO!

[SAtown]

Spurs 87 - 86 MIN 5:50 left in 4th

[Spurs Brazil]

TD again

[Amuseddaysleeper]

who's this ref that's talking with TP? I like him b/c he always explains his calls tot he players/coaches.

[twincam]

good lineup for the spurs now....get it over with

[SAtown]

How many defensive 3 seconds is that total this game?

[twincam]

pass the Goddamn ball Tony! Shit, that was an automatic two points for Gino!

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice job TP

[milkyway21]

Finley is useless as usual!:lol

I'll just remember that 3pters he made against the Nuggets last playoffs and I'll be alright.

[hitmanyr2k]

Wtf Parker. All you have to do is dish it back and Ginobili has a easy layup. Selfish play.

[TDfan2007]

Tony another steal and 2 FTs

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Parker gets both. Up three, 5:40 left

[wildbill2u]

Finley cold as ice. 1-10, 0-6 from deep.
I think he's shooting about 20% for the season so far.

[SAtown]

who's this ref that's talking with TP? I like him b/c he always explains his calls tot he players/coaches.

I don't know, but I'll narrow it down to 3 for you:

Officials: #60 D. Guthrie, #32 E. Rush, #52 P. Fraher

[twincam]

BOWEN! Hit's the three again! Spurs up 6

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Bowen with a dagger. Fuck yeah!

[pawe]

Bruce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 333333333333333333333333333333333333

[milkyway21]

20 pts ? Jefferson didn't make a single shot in the 3rd?

[Sp Ginobili 20]

Steal and Bruuuuuuce 33333333333333

[boutons_]

ok, Spurs doin it, Wolves running out of steam

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Spurs outscoring Minny 18-6 this quarter.

[yeahone]

spursss

[Spurs Brazil]

E.Rush sucks

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

looks like they got it now

[Budkin]

Shoulda been doing this the whole fucking game... hell yeah!!!

[twincam]

wow, once down 13pts now up 6pts....wow.

[telecomguy]

pass the Goddamn ball Tony! Shit, that was an automatic two points for Gino!

Manu is like so open, trailing Tony by only few yards and TP tries to go all the way in with a closing defender all over him. I wonder if Nash or Kidd would not have passed it back to MAnu for the easy 2? TP made the foul shots but why does he work so hard to get the 2 when it was so obvious he should have passed?

Duncan is pissed off at the roughouse play of Wolves and has waken up. They need to milk him and take control.

[milkyway21]

spurssscongrats on your NEW national flag :D

[ThomasGranger]

Good to see the Spurs back in control but this sleepwalking through the first three quarters routine looks eerily familiar.

[yeahone]

watching the heat celts game and miami taking alot of bad shots

[SAtown]

[Spurs Brazil]

barry dunk!

[yeahone]

[twincam]

Holy Shit! Once down 14 and now up 10! WTF.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Barry is great

[TDfan2007]

I love Brent! A dunk then a 3! Spurs running away with it now. Manu and Tim started this huge run and the rest of the guys are finishing it.

[yeahone]

bones might thinl of coming back for one more year

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The BEAST awoke with 2 mins to go in the 3rd, and now the REAL Spurs are showing their colours.

They shifted up 2 gears at both ends and BAAAM! :D

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Watch out! they will tell you you are from the church of manu if you accuse parker of not giving the ball to manu.

[telecomguy]

Brent with the JAM
Great pass by TP to barry!! THAT is what i am talking about!! Tony, that's what you need to do. They are going to double team TD so someone will be wide open....so keep your eyes OPEN

[loveforthegame]

Nice to see the Spurs turn it on and put this game away. Sure wish they wouldn't have waited till the 4th quarter to do so.

[wildbill2u]

Ginobili is everywhere.

[Spurs Brazil]

Wolves FG-46.7%

[SAtown]

OMG, Gino is GOD! Another THREE

Wow! Manu a 3!

What INCREDIBLE passing to that Manu 3!

thats vintage spurs....cruise for 3 quarters or a half then turn it on

[twincam]

11 three pointers for the Spurs....right?

[milkyway21]

this Minny team are good from the 3pt area. 10 3pointers so far. :oops

or is it just bec of lack of perimeter defense from Spurs?

Score:
100-89 Spurs :flag:

[The Red Hood]

The air has been sucked out of that arena.

[wildbill2u]

Spurs by 11. Parker for two foul shots. Time for Ginobili to get the ball and control the end of this game.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This is the difference between a young team and a championship team - poise and execution in the 4th.

[spursrocksocks]

manu raining 333333333333333333333333s

[The Red Hood]

Now Manu is just showing off. :lol

[TDfan2007]

Manu ANOTHER 3!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sp Ginobili 20]

Manu 3 again!

[hitmanyr2k]

Ginobili is rigodamndiculous shooting tonight.

[wildbill2u]

Manu with a dagger 3 with less than two minutes. 104-91

[SAtown]

Will there be a bump on the Ditka thread tonight?

[yeahone]

i feeling a bit sorry for the wolves...played so weel for three quarters and now trailing by 15 a 30 point swing

[twincam]

7 three pointers for Manu tonight

[pawe]

Thank God for the Spurs! This game really made my night.

[ThomasGranger]

Manu is a man possessed. I'll be surprised if the coaches don't pick him for the AS game.

[Sp Ginobili 20]

Will there be a bump on the Ditka thread tonight?There better be!

[duncan228]

Glad they pulled it out.
It could have been ugly.

Wait...it was ugly.
I'm glad they won.

[SpursFanFirst]

:wow I walked away for a second, and when I came back, we had a 13 point lead?!?! They really kicked it into high gear! :tu

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The Wolves announcer is blaming the loss on the refs...

:lmao :lmao

[The Red Hood]

Glad they pulled it out.
It could have been ugly.

Wait...it was ugly.
I'm glad they won.
The past few minutes haven't been.

[angel_luv]

Nice comeback win.

Gino is the man.

Tony made some beautiful passes.

And Timmy strong and solid game as usual.

It's great to be a Spurs fan. :)

[milkyway21]

OMG, MANU IS HOT :elephant

[yeahone]

heat down 7 after trailing by 28

[baseline bum]

Ginobili is everywhere.

Damn, Manu's +/- is +35 !

[Sp Ginobili 20]

Spurs score 32 in the 4th, while Minny scores 11. :tu

[Russ]

Diuncan was not about to let them lose this one -- it was personal.

[telecomguy]

Watch out! they will tell you you are from the church of manu if you accuse parker of not giving the ball to manu.

Parker just does not pass........and he is our Point Guard. TD gets the ball in the paint, but he sees wide open Barry who then makes another pass to Manu for 3. Why can't Parker move the ball around like the rest of the Spurs, especially when he is not playing well? Why always try to force it?

[twincam]

:wow I walked away for a second, and when I came back, we had a 13 point lead?!?! They really kicked it into high gear! :tu

Yes, Manu was a freak with three pointers.

Barry, DUNKED, hit threes, got a key steal, hustled,

Duncan, was quietly hitting the low post layups with ease.

Bowen was hitting his three pointers too...

Vintage Spurs.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Thank God for the Spurs! This game really made my night.
:toast Me too!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What a F#$%#$#CKWIT.

The Spurs simply shifted up 2 gears when they needed to, down 13 with 2 to go in the third.

Blaming the refs is such a pussy move. :devil

[SAtown]

The Wolves announcer is blaming the loss on the refs...

:lmao :lmao

I guess I missed the part where the refs manhandled Minnesota in the 4th by raining 3s.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu should have had 8 3 pointers remember Vaughn getting that foul call in the first quarter where Manu made a 3!
I'll never forgive Vaughn for erasing TIm's quadruple double or whatever..

he makes it hard for me to like him. :lol

[The Red Hood]

Bill Land: "Madsen trying to check back in so he can get another foul." :lol

Will there be a bump on the Ditka thread tonight?

[yeahone]

pops must have been pleased witgh the 4th qtr defense only allowing 11 points

[duncan228]

The past few minutes haven't been.

Nope, Spurs ball is beautiful.
It just took them 3 ugly quarters to get there.

[TDfan2007]

Tim with 15 second half points and 12 second half rebounds. Way to step it up big fella.

[E20]

Nice Manu 7-9 from 3PT territory.

Duncan with some REBOUNDS!! :elephant

TP with 9 assists and 17 points.

Nice overall production from the BIG THREE!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

You obviously missed Parker's bullet to baseline cutting Barry about a minute before.

I think Parker's passing this year has been vastly improved! :wakeup

[Admidave50]

wow spurs played horribly for 3 quarters but managed a blowout at the end, nice!

[Bruno]

Spurs agreed to lose this game but Manu didn't get the memo and it was enough to win it.
Thanks to Madsen, he gives some motivation to Duncan.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Very nice overall: 32 pts vs 11 in the 4th quarter

TP = 11 pts, 9 ast (3 of them in the last minutes of the game to put it away)
TD = 20 pts, 14 rbds
MG = 31 pts 7-9 from 3pts (77%)

Very nice.

[milkyway21]

14-3 :clap

Bring on Portland...

[SpurOutofTownFan]

If the Heats win this game I'm gonna be laughing at boston for 2 weeks.

[loveforthegame]

Game ball to Ginobli. Glad to see Duncan wake up and dish out some punishment of his own. Barry with a great 4th quarter and Bowen did his usual thing. Oberto was strong early on and Bonner had a nice contribution in short minutes. Um, Finley thanks for rebounding cause you didn't anything else. Vaughn be gone.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I guess I missed the part where the refs manhandled Minnesota in the 4th by raining 3s.

...and cranking up the D...

...and passing like the veteran team they are...

...and generally cutting the Wolves to ribbons.

Yes, it was a poorly officiated game, but it went both ways and had NOTHING to do with the result.

:toast

[Martin R]

Manu was literally OFF THE CHARTS. What the fuck was that game , Manu????? please tell us what is that you're smoking!!1

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I agree, he's passing the ball more and better this year.

Very nice.
TP has 17pts

[smeagol]

That 4th Q was a thing of beauty.

The Spurs locked the basket and threw away the key allowing only 11 pts

[Dex]

First thing Manu does in the Post-Game Radio is call the game 'embarrassing' because of the first three quarters.

What a stud. This guy is all Spur.

[jman3000]

this is what SHOULD have happened in the kings game.

[dimsah]

LOL at the wolves fans cheering Madsen when he came out of the game.
He's like the retarded kid who makes a basket in garbage time.

[carina_gino20]

First thing Manu does in the Post-Game Radio is call the game 'embarrassing' because of the first three quarters.

What a stud. This guy is all Spur.

true. He talked about the defense in the 1st three quarters, and how they picked it up in the 4th. Also talked about how Timmy was very good out there and got people open for the three because no one could guard him down low. Then he talked about how they needed Tony out there.

The guy has just scored 31 pts in 7-9 3-pt shooting and didn't even talk about himself. :toast

[SpursFanFirst]

If the Heats win this game I'm gonna be laughing at boston for 2 weeks.

Not enough time left in the game...but, it would've been nice.

[Dex]

Parker is instructed to be the main cog on offense. Pop expects, even tells him to put up more shots than anyone else on the team. I'll agree that sometimes that seems like he's forcing shots, but everybody takes difficult shots every now and then, especially once you've reached star status. The difference with Parker is that he makes ridiculous shots look easy...and go in.

It's Parker's constant pressing on offense that breaks down opponent defenses and starts making space for Tim and our shooters.

If Tony doesn't take those shots, defenses don't have to adjust to him and ultimately, he's taken out of the game. Pop expects it. Tim expects it. Manu and the rest of the team expect it. And so far, I don't hear anybody arguing with the results.

BTW, you don't rack up 9 assists by not passing the ball, especially on a team like the Spurs who are accustomed to the extra pass.

[hitmanyr2k]

I agree, he's passing the ball more and better this year.

Parker is passing the ball better this year but there are times where it's like he goes out of his way not to give it up :lol

I mean that play in particular I think every PG in the league would have given up the ball for the easy layup. Sometimes I wonder where Parker's head is. I hope he's not getting the big head and worrying about his stats.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

LOL at the wolves fans cheering Madsen when he came out of the game.
He's like the retarded kid who makes a basket in garbage time.
:lmao My thoughts exactly! I was thinking, fuck this game ain't over and Madsen didn't do shit but wake Tim the fuck up! He didn't do shit to warrant that O.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Not enough time left in the game...but, it would've been nice.

I'll never quite understand how Parker can have 9 assists in a game, and still be called a ball hog by some of the jackasses here...

Yeah, that was a bad play in particular.

But I think it just comes to quick thinking rather than selfishness.
He's been looking for the optimal play more this year though, so it's not so bad. 9 Assists speak for itself.

Maybe his coach wants him to be in ATTACK MODE! DO YOU REALIZE HOW MANY TIMES HE'S SAID THAT IN FUCKING INTERVIEWS???? :madrun Get a fucking grip dude! He does what he's supposed to do. He puts pressure on defenses with his speed, so he holds the goddammned ball looking for a hole to get through. If his coach and teamates aren't complaining, who the fuck are you to do so? Sit back and enjoy the winning....FAN

[RC's Boss]

Scared?
Don't be jealous b/c Ferry went against everything he learned in San Antonio and gave out BIGGGGG freakin' contracts to Z and Hughes. If we miss one Big 3, we still make the playoffs... Your squad w/ out Lebron would be crossing their fingers for O.J. Mayo.

[Beno Udrih]

Don't worry you won't get to see him in the playoffs (or Finals for that matter)
:lol Fucking idiot the magic are in the eastern conference! Of course we're not going to see him in the playoffs!

So Amare and Dwight Howard are going head to head ? That's a good match up.

Nov 21 Orl: 9 assists
Nov 23 Mem 8 assists
Nov 25 @Sea 7 assists
Nov 26 @Sac 7 assists
Nov 28 Was 11 assists
Nov 30 Min 9 assists

But as always, you never let facts get in the way of your thinking. :lol

[telecomguy]

You obviously missed Parker's bullet to baseline cutting Barry about a minute before.

I think Parker's passing this year has been vastly improved! :wakeup

I saw that and that was a great pass. And he has improved, as his stats show although some of that is because Spurs are shooting the lights out so far this season.

The thing is with his speed and ability to penetrate, he can find lot of open men as the defense collapses on him. He just needs to have a better court vision & understanding of where the open guy is instead of trying to bull his way into the paint all the time. I think he can easily up his assists to around 8 a night and if he improves his mid-range a bit more, he will be the complete package and Spurs will be a scoring machine

[telecomguy]

Spurs agreed to lose this game but Manu didn't get the memo and it was enough to win it.
Thanks to Madsen, he gives some motivation to Duncan.

yeah Duncan seemed to be fairly passive until Madsen tried to physically manhandle him and got TD really pissed.

Well, at least we know for sure TD hasn't lost it as basically he was dominant from that point on, rebounding, pressuring the defense, scoring and collapsing the defense to allow our 3 pt. shooters to do their thing.

TD normally doesn't get 40 minutes but today we fell in the hole and he ended up having to stay on the floor longer, but he didn't seem tired or slow although at the end he shut it down for the last 3 minutes when the game was over.

[TampaDude]

Ginobili had 31 points and went 7/9 from beyond the arc...wow...Manu was on FYYYYYAAAAAHHHHH tonight!!! :smokin

[RC's Boss]

I saw that and that was a great pass. And he has improved, as his stats show although some of that is because Spurs are shooting the lights out so far this season.

The thing is with his speed and ability to penetrate, he can find lot of open men as the defense collapses on him. He just needs to have a better court vision & understanding of where the open guy is instead of trying to bull his way into the paint all the time. I think he can easily up his assists to around 8 a night and if he improves his mid-range a bit more, he will be the complete package and Spurs will be a scoring machine
Uh, you think their focus is just stats. Marbury once avg. 25= ppg and 8apg in PHX :rolleyes Do you need a big=breasted woman to give you a hug to calm your hatred on Tony Parker? Every coach raves about him. You just complain.

Wow he's really turning it up. I didn't even notice that span in a week

[telecomguy]

Yeah, that was a bad play in particular.

But I think it just comes to quick thinking rather than selfishness.
He's been looking for the optimal play more this year though, so it's not so bad. 9 Assists speak for itself.

I am really not sure where he racked up so many assists because it didn't feel like he was controlling the floor and finding open man. THat one bullett pass to Barry when his defender started to double team TD in anticipation of an entry pass into the paint left Barry open and Parker saw it.

Anyway good win, and it always starts with defense of course, and paint dominance which opens up the 3's & lot of great passing by everyone

[telecomguy]

Maybe his coach wants him to be in ATTACK MODE! DO YOU REALIZE HOW MANY TIMES HE'S SAID THAT IN FUCKING INTERVIEWS???? :madrun Get a fucking grip dude! He does what he's supposed to do. He puts pressure on defenses with his speed, so he holds the goddammned ball looking for a hole to get through. If his coach and teamates aren't complaining, who the fuck are you to do so? Sit back and enjoy the winning....FAN

There are times to attack and there are times to distribute. You don't just run headlong into a wall just because coach says you must be aggressive. Playing aggressive doesn't mean doing same thing over and over again. Anyway tony is getting better.

Actually the thing I am most impressed so far this year is that he is not turning the ball over. This is very very important and good for TP

Unbelievable...

This guy was a raw 19yr old kid that had speed as really his only asset to playing the game. Since then he has grown his game to include a reliable teardrop, several finishing moves with either hand, a mid-range jumpshot, and of course....passing/vision.

He's averaging career highs in assists and assists/turnover ratio and has improved every year since he's been in the league...and it's still not enough?

I suggest you realize that it's a good thing you are a fan of a team who's PG is an all-star and one-time Finals MVP.

Oh yeah and BTW...HE'S 25! Give him, me, and everyone a damn break and let it go!

[telecomguy]

But as always, you never let facts get in the way of your thinking. :lol

Stats can be misleading. Yes TP is passing slightly more but I think the spurs have been shooting very well so far which may explain the higher assist numbers partly. But i do agree he is realizing that when he draws doubles or sees a wall of players, he is more likely to kick it out to 3pt. shooter more so than last year (although against Washington, he was ridiculously successful at going into multiple defenders and finishing)

[telecomguy]

The problem is even I have learned to accept this POP want's Tony to shoot when he penetrates..and Tony has never had great court vision, so we have to accept that. Give Tony credit he is improving...last year he would have kept shooting if he wasn't shooting well..this year he is definitely looking for his teammates.

Can he average more assists hell yes...but that's not what Pop asks of Tony and Tony is known as scoring point guard. So enjoy him for who he is!


I understand exactly what you are saying and maybe you are right. It's just sometimes very very frustrating to watch him miss a completely open player or watch TD waving at him as he establishes a deep post position and TP reacts too late. Anyway he has come a long way so no complaints especially since Spurs are winning.

[telecomguy]

certainly if he keeps improving at this rate, i will have to find someone else to get frustrated at!! oh well, i will always have Vaughn to complain about.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

So?

The Mavs will eat you alive even in your barn look-alike arena

:clap :clap :clap You make an awesome point here. The Mavs next Wed are going to kick the Spurs ass all over the place. I will be at the game with my mavs gear giving Spurs fans shit because this is one team they cant beat especially in the AT&T American Airlines Center!! Expect Dirk to have 30 plus, Harris to have 20 plus, Stack and Howard to add 18-20 points as well as JET having over 25. Mavs will be the team to hand them their first "home" loss. Keep preaching on that fact brother!! :elephant :elephant :elephant

[AFBlue]

. Anyway he has come a long way so no complaints especially since Spurs are winning.

But that's exactly what you're doing...complaining.

EVERY player in this league has flaws, but you are a fan of a team that has three GREAT players, a great coach, and a great system. There really isn't much to dwell on, so relax and enjoy.

BTW, the Spurs as a team are 6th in the league in Assists Per Game. I don't guess Tony's supposed selfishness is hurting them too bad...

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I think he found a lot of Manu, Bruce, Barry and Tim, but yeah, I didn't realize he got them up to 9 by the end of the 4th by the looks of his play today.
I thought Manu had more than 4 assists, by the way the game was looking.
I think Tony could be faulted two, three years ago, for getting tunnel vision, and not finding his guys, but he's doing it a lot more in the last two seasons so it's kind of reaching to demand so much perfection from him at once.

[AFBlue]

oh well, i will always have Vaughn to complain about.


Interesting that Vaughn didn't play much tonight and that Pop went with a lineup playing Manu at the point for a bit.

Perhaps Pop did it to get Jacque back to his form of last year....when he played within his relatively limited game and gave the Spurs key defensive minutes and efficient overall play.

This year has clearly been a different case thus far...

[telecomguy]

I agree, overall he is playing very good this season. Look, if he can maintain this level of efficiency & field goal % against top teams, and still be able to penetrate consistently and score, i will be a very happy guy as that will mean another ring and a repeat finally. I am just not sure that TP will have it that easy against Mavs, Jazz, Pistons, Bulls, etc. in the playoffs.

[timvp]

Parker haters complaining about his passing after he has an nine assist game? Classic.

You can get on him for being a bit passive this game but the only pass he missed was a pass to Barry where he held it for an extra second before passing it. Pop pulled him out and got on him for that mistake. But damn, I don't know what more you guys want from him. For a point guard who doesn't handle the ball nearly as much as other point guards, doesn't play as many minutes as other point guards and doesn't run as many pick-and-rolls as he did the last couple years, he's been getting about as many assists as humanly possible.

[timvp]

Does telecomguy post about anything else other than complaining about Parker?

Seriously?

[ShoogarBear]

[SequSpur]

The Spurs fucking suck. They should've never been down in that game tonight.

[TMTTRIO]

The guy has just scored 31 pts in 7-9 3-pt shooting and didn't even talk about himself.
I really think Manu hates talking about himself. I remember after a playoff game last year where he had an awesome game one of the guys on ESPN was interviewing him and he just started to talk about the team and what the other players were doing well. The guy just went back to how about him having an awesome game and all of the sudden Manu looked almost embarrassed and uncomfortable talking about it.

[BeerIsGood!]

Does telecomguy post about anything else other than complaining about Parker?

Seriously?

You still read what he writes? I started ignoring that dude a long time ago.

[Manudona]

I am worried about Manu, I was reading his post game comments and I realized that this kid has some issues with the important order of things. He said:

""Today I was really good with that (three-point) shot. They made a decision to double Tim, and so that's where I had open shots. I've always been working on my three-point shot, especially to make them come hard and then use my penetration."

Someone please tell him is better the other way around, first use the penetration and then make them come hard

[Man of Steel]

:lol Kill your self faggot! Nice back peddle though genius!


I really resent this message...

Its wrong to write, "Kill your self faggot!"

This is so wrong--

You should be ashamed of yourself.

This comment cannot be tolerated in a civilized society.

The proper thing to write is:

"Kill yourself, faggot!"

[Indazone]

Jefferson will outscore Duncan. Vbookie it!

[2centsworth]

Manu is like so open, trailing Tony by only few yards and TP tries to go all the way in with a closing defender all over him. I wonder if Nash or Kidd would not have passed it back to MAnu for the easy 2? TP made the foul shots but why does he work so hard to get the 2 when it was so obvious he should have passed?
Because he's trying to get an and 1. He's confident he'll knock down atleast 2 from the stripe. Plus, Tony totally focuses on the basket when he has an opening which is why he's a top 5 finisher in the league. Tony probably just didn't see Manu and for good enough reason.


however, i did see about a minute or so where Tony did go a little selfish. With Pop though, selfish play by Tony, wreckless play by Manu, and soft play by Tim isn't tolerated for very long.

to last year
he fucking had 11 last game in this spurs system

[SequSpur]

this is unreal his assist all up this year to last year
he fucking had 11 last game in this spurs system
especially since manu had 31 points last night

huh? Did you miss your speech therapy again this week?

[ducks]

great game for duncan rebounding

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Tony seems to be improving year to year - 2 years ago he had the problem of the jumpshots and teams were capitalizing on it. Then he trained like a bitch on that and fixed it. Now they know he can take down those shots. Now it seems he is further developing his passing skills. I don't remember Tony having that many assists per game ever. I think when he finally accomodates his game to a balance between 20+ attempts/night and trying to give them +10 assists, he will be just a machine.

[BeerIsGood!]

I think he was smoking something, as he basically said that 5 Mavs players were going to score over 115 pts by themselves.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Actually I look at the Mavs record in San Antonio during the AT&T era especially after game 5 of that 2006 series and it is in our favor. That isnt the Spurs house when the Mavs stop by to kick your asses. It is the Mavs "other home" that happens to be located in San Antonio. :)

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

That's right!!!
Our other home just so happens to be in Cleveland. What a coincidence!

[duncan228]

Our other home just so happens to be in Cleveland. What a coincidence!

This King23, Fast Dunk, whatever name he is, cracks me up.

He comes into this blog, assumes we're going to lose when we're down double digits, calls us "SIMPLY PATHETIC" on the same night his alleged team loses to Toronto.

Yet he still comes back to talk smack.

After getting swept in the Finals by us you would think he would lay low at least until his team did something of note against us.

Or change his team to Boston, which is what I expected him to do the second Garnett landed there.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

He's probably under the name I'm So Hood as well.

[duncan228]

You are probably right.
