Spurs vs. Blazers Dec. 30th - Game Blog

[timvp]

Without Manu, can the Spurs keep it up?

:hat

[Zmaj]

Of course they can, they're experienced enough. And Portland isn't the most formidable foe out there either...

[ducks]

If The Spurs Win Who Will Be The First Poster To Say Trade Manu

[Solid D]

Portland must be patient or the Spurs will overwhelm them.

[ducks]

11:07 SA - R. Nesterovic makes shot. Assist: T. Parker
11:19 POR - Traveling on Z. Randolph
11:44 SA - T. Parker makes a 5-foot jumper in the lane. Assist: R. Nesterovic

good start

barry started

[Solid D]

Student, meet Rasho.
Rasho, meet student.

[ducks]

San Antonio 8, Portland 0

[Experiment2100]

First 12 points all in paint, now up 15-3

[ducks]

tp with the three!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pooh]

17-2...can someone tell Portland the game has started! Geez.

[Solid D]

Parker inside, then outside for 3, then inside off Tim's screen. The Spurs are slicing them up, thusfar. 17-2 with 4:09 remaining in the 1st.

[Experiment2100]

Crap pop was yelling at Brown again. Anyone remember what happened last time Pop yelled at Brown on TNT

[Solid D]

:lol Devin's in Pop's doghouse for not watching the shot clock and passing up a shot. At least I think that's why he's mad at Dev.

[ShoogarBear]

Spurs going for five straight games against the Blazers without ever trailing.

[ducks]

rose 3 minutes 2 fouls

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Malik Rose is on fire tonight.

I don't know where we'd be without him, probably up 20.

[Solid D]

Finally, Devin makes a shot but it's too late. Portland has momentum in their favor.

Rasho is really playing dominant on the offensive glass and gets the Spurs second chance points to close out the quarter.

[ducks]

4 points 4 rebounds for rasho

[Experiment2100]

Those Jaguar commercials are really starting to piss me off.

[Solid D]

Nice start to start the 2nd. Udrih and Duncan trap Stoudamire and Devin intercepts for the slam. Devin on the bomb...2 dunks in a row.

[ducks]

11:48 SA - D. Brown drives to the hoop for a dunk
11:51 SA - D. Brown steals the ball from D. Stoudamire

[ducks]

3 dunks so far in 2

[ducks]

B. Barry makes a 25-foot three-pointer from the left wing. Assist: R. Horry

[ducks]

devin brown and barry are trying to show each other who is better

they are both playing well

[Experiment2100]

Miles is getting too many easy baskets.

[ShoogarBear]

Damn, Portland is trying to play worse defense than Phoenix.

[ducks]

how many spurs will be in double figures tonight?
spurs almost have 3 already not inlcuding duncan

[Solid D]

Beno is doing an awesome job of running the team.

[Solid D]

Now Pop has TP and Beno in the same backcourt with Rasho, Barry and Horry.

[Experiment2100]

Very interesting, right now both teams have 3 guards on the floor.

[Solid D]

Horry with a volleyball spike block into the bench. :elephant

[Solid D]

Beno's running the point and feeds 2-guard Tony Parker for the jumper curling off the screen.

[Solid D]

49-29. The passing is exquisite tonight. Horry, Beno, Barry...all making terrific feeds. The ball is just whipping around, reversals, skip passes, nice movement without the ball.

[Solid D]

When the Spurs work both sides of the floor and throw skip passes over the top, the Blazers are having a tough time rotating fast enough.

Now Rasho and Timmy in together with Bowen at the 3 and Parker and Beno in the backcourt. Nice extra pass from Rasho to Timmy for the and-1. 52-30.

[Solid D]

Devin replaces Beno. Parker slices the Defense for a layup in traffic.

Then Parker with a 360 degree slice to the basket again for 2 more. :elephant

Clinic

[ducks]

three spurs in double figures

[Dalamar_the_Dark]

Beno is perfect in every sense at this point in time. Rasho is lighting it up. Barry ehem is doing it as a starter. Is this going to be a 2nd Hedo? Manu to the bench?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

We need a new word, clinic isn't strong enough.

[Warlord23]

What's the score now? and how many pts for barry, devin?

[timvp]

Manu who?

:smokin

Nice half. Spurs playing about as well as they can. Parker finishing everything around the basket.

Plus a Rasho sighting.

[Solid D]

We need a new word, clinic isn't strong enough.

Okay, how about:

[Warlord23]

Guys, how 'bout letting me in on the halftime score? The firewall at my workplace doesn't let me access nba.com or espn.com

[Solid D]

Man, 40 of the 57 first half points came in the paint.

[Experiment2100]

Right now it's 59-40

[Warlord23]

Thanks, Experiment2100

[Solid D]

Duncan to Rasho and Rasho Dunks :hat :elephant

[Experiment2100]

Warlord have you tried Yahoo sports?

[Warlord23]

Yup. That's blocked as well :depressed ...

thankfully this board isn't! :spin

[Solid D]

Barry goes in for the monster dunk and Derek Anderson sticks his hand in Brent's chest (no call) and Brent misses the dunk. Terrific passing, the Spurs are just having trouble knocking down the shots.

[Jdspur20]

sorry for asking the obvious, but ive been away for a few days, whats wrong with manu?????

[Experiment2100]

Hurt his neck in Pho game.

[xcoriate]

Flagrant on DA what happened??

[Solid D]

See Manu Injured thread. He took a hard fall flat on his back versus Phoenix.

[Experiment2100]

It's down to 16 74-58.

[Solid D]

It's a shame Bruce lost track of Darius on that 3 at the buzzer. The Spurs are doing fairly well in the zone offense, particularly Horry feeding the movement from the FT line.

[Solid D]

Beno running the point to start the 4th with Tim, Horry, Bowen, Brown.
Stoudamire and Van Exel now in there together.

[Solid D]

Bowen for three, yes!

Bowen for three, again, yess!! Plus an off the ball foul.

[Solid D]

Devin makes 2 consecutive steals leading to fastbreak buckets by Bowen and Horry. Spurs lead by 26. TNT announcer Doug Collins issues statement: "I don't know if Portland could beat San Antonio tonight if they were allowed to play 6 on 5."

[Solid D]

Is this commentary helping you all not able to see the game? Just curious, if you want this to continue.

[Experiment2100]

Where's Mike Wilks?

[xcoriate]

Yes it explains stuff, specifics so much better than just the box score on espn or yahoo keep it up :D

[xcoriate]

Beno for double double?? 7 points 8 assists

[xcoriate]

Pop just yanked him :( We'll have no one padding stats here

[Solid D]

Massenburg on a feed following a dribble penetration from Beno, swish. Massenburg on a baseline turnaround jumper, good.

Beno from the arc for 3, swish!!! 102-72. Beno is fantastic tonight. Wilks and Beno in the backcourt in junk-time, along with Devin, Rose, and T-Mass.

[xcoriate]

Alright so his back in :smokin

[Solid D]

Massenburg takes it strong to the hole against Przbylla and draws the fouls. 2 Fts.

Wilks running the point, Nice feed under the arms of defenders by Wilks to T-Mass for the hook shot!

Massenburg is padding his stats and earning them in the process.

[Warlord23]

B-L-O-W-O-U-T ... and then some

Thanks for the commentary, SolidD

[Solid D]

This is a fun team to watch. They run when they can and even the 11th and 12th men playing their roles well. 106-76 with 2:21 to play.

[Solid D]

Massenburg passes back behind him to Udrih for the 22 footer, swish. Very nifty pass that created a natural screen.

Massenburg from outside - swish. 4-4 tonight.

[Experiment2100]

6 players for Spurs in double figures including Tony Massenburg?

[Solid D]

Rose in rhythm from the baseline early offense, swish. 112-80.

Udrih with a nifty feed behind the defenders to Rose again from the baseline, same distance, swish! 114-80. And that's it. Parker being interviewed by TNT's Cheryl Miller.

[Experiment2100]

Malik giving Beno his 10th asisist

[xcoriate]

Beno with the Double-Double :smokin


Mass 10 points 7 mins

[xcoriate]

What a game, hope i can get a d/l of it


Thanks for the commentary Solid :)

[Experiment2100]

supreme Kobeidge

[slayermin]

Six players in double figures with Bowen and Rasho a (censored) hair away.

[Experiment2100]

At least the bench players didn't give up the 30 point lead like in the suns game. KOBEIDGE

[Solid D]

The Spurs had a 4.25 (34 - 8) Assist to Turnover Ratio tonight. :hat

Keeep it up and give us more. Wonderful stuff for those of us who can't watch. I really appreciate it because reading the stats after the game just doens't give the full story or impact of how each player is helping (or detracting) from the team.
