Spurs vs. T-Wolves Jan. 12 - Game Blog

[bdictjames]

Let's blow out these puppies.

[duncan228]

I need to see them play well tonight, it would do me a world of good.

A win would be nice too!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

6-8 last 14 games - that is how we started the 99 season, before going 46-7 to claim the championship... not that that means anything, I'm just saying...

Time to start righting the ship.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

3 keys:

1. move the ball (and cut!),
2. be aggressive at both ends (play like you care),
3. keep hammering away at that rock!

[duncan228]

(play like you care)

This is what I need to see.

[Manu20]

Wolves 5-30.


The Spurs better not lose this one.

[spursrocksocks]

I want ginobili to score 37 point

[duncan228]

Spurs call on League Pass.
Lucky me!

[SpursDynasty]

The Spurs have won 3 of the last 5 championships.

[m33p0]

3 keys:

1. move the ball (and cut!),
2. be aggressive at both ends (play like you care),
3. keep hammering away at that rock!

i'll be satisfied with 1 key: win the damn game!

[SpursDynasty]

One main thing we've done this year in our fluke losses is let the other team come out and try to shoot some shots on us. We can't let this Minnesota team come out confident and hitting shots.

[duncan228]

Oberto starting, not Horry.

[loveforthegame]

I'd like a win but more importantly I'd like to see the Spurs come out strong and play like they care.

[Spurs Brazil]

Baveta and V.Palmer today

[ricketts]

I hate when FSN carries the games. they should just defer to NBATV. that way we get to see it on their HI-DEF affiliate.

[Spurs Brazil]

manu 3333333333333333

Spurs up 1

[Stabbin' Cabin]

Nice defense :lol

[loveforthegame]

Is this a joke? I know it's early but we shouldn't be down to the Timberwolves at any point in this game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime and Cisco in

[twincam]

Can you believe this crap? The Spurs can't dominate against the Wolves?

What happened to the payback attitude? What happened to the championship team we once had?

WTF gives?

[Cherry]

Pop: call some plays for Manu....just some...

[ricketts]

Ok. I know its the t-wolves, but why is Elson in for TD when we are down in the 1st quarter? can anyone see the sense in it?

[twincam]

They are relying WAY TOO MUCH on the three pointer.....terrible...

[Spurs Brazil]

Cisco J

Wolves up 3

[Spurs Brazil]

manu tres!!!!!!!

He has 7pts

Wolves up 3

[Spurs Brazil]

TP J!!!!!!

Tie after one

[duncan228]

Parker lucky shot.

Tie game, 24 all, end first.

[twincam]

Tony on a banker? Go figure...but we'll take it. We're going to need it down the stretch. Something tells me that this will NOT be a cake walk, again.

[Manu20]

Nice banker by Tony to end the 1st Q.

[Spurs Brazil]

Wolves FG-10-17 - 59%

The D must get better

[Manu20]

Parker lucky shot.



It is all skill my friend :toast

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop is mad

Call a 20sec TO after the 1st play

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner in

[Stabbin' Cabin]

You're gonna need a lot more of those lucky shots tonight from the look of it :downspin:

[ShoogarBear]

Everybody practice your "Oh, it's only January" posts . . .

[m33p0]

You're gonna need a lot more of those lucky shots tonight from the look of it :downspin:
The Spurs ain't dead yet and the vultures are already circling.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 3333333333333333333

Oberto playing well

[ricketts]

I love Bonners big goofy lookin self.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 33333333333333333333333333

Spurs up 2

[duncan228]

Everybody practice your "Oh, it's only January" posts . . .

:lol

If they lose tonight we'll find out who the real Spurs fans are...because the bandwagoner's will jump with a home loss to the Wolves.

[TDfan2007]

Spurs starting to look alive again. TWolves timeout

[loveforthegame]

Thanks Bonner. Where was that against Detroit?

[Spurs Brazil]

Fabricio from Manuuuuuuuuuuuu

Spurs 8-0 run

[ricketts]

They are relying WAY TOO MUCH on the three pointer.....terrible...

Why not if its working? Spurs can be a 3pt powerhouse when they want.

[ricketts]

thanks for the call, ref.

[m33p0]

antoine walker hasn't recorded a single statistic so far. the spurs have to keep it that way. otherswise we'll be seeing a career night from ol' fatso.

[loveforthegame]

Oberto playing well. Vaughn with 5 assists already.

[ricketts]

HOLY CRAP!!! where did Vaughn get those wheels from?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Look at the difference in intensity since Pop called that TO.

Good. Play hard.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The only problem when they get excited and intense is that some players try to do too much - like Bonner's 2 turnovers.

We are pretty much living and dying by the 3.

2nd unit needs another scorer really badly.

[duncan228]

Richardson in.

[Stabbin' Cabin]

Spurs looking older than usual tonight.

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto with 3blks

J-Rich in

[dallaskd]

pathetic

[Spurs Brazil]

TP-Manu-J.Rick-TD-Cisco

Another TO

[duncan228]

Turnovers are ridiculous.

[duncan228]

Was that a bear hug?

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

damn it !!!!!!!!!!!! i got lost in foosball practice :oops

shite, anybody feel like givin me a little recap of what ive missed?

[loveforthegame]

Strange lineups out there.

Stop the turnovers and get some stops before they run us out of our own building.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Against a decent team we'd be down 10 with all those open 3s we're leaving.

Move the freakin ball!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nice inside pivot from Jefferson

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Where is manu?

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

somebody tell me we are not losing to min. in our house

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

flagrant

[ShoogarBear]

I'm a little late, but that play by Vaughn might have been the single best hustle play by a Spur all year. Too bad nothing came of it.

[twincam]

Not sharing the ball indeed. Too much isolation play....too many three point attempts.....they are not playing Spurs basketball. What in the hell is going on?

BTW, they are only up by one in the late 2nd quarter...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jefferson chose not to extend for the max? I didn't know that. Impressive.

[m33p0]

jacque vaughn-sanity!!!

[m33p0]

Jefferson chose not to extend for the max? I didn't know that. Impressive.
a poke at garnett, no doubt.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

the crappier we play against these teams, the more i am a " pops gotta plan" conspiracy theorist

[m33p0]

gomes with 6 rebounds. the guys have forgotten how to box out.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Richardson's brother is listed at 6'6' 6'7?? He looks slightly taller than Parker.

[loveforthegame]

The Spurs have played so poorly recently what else can Pop say at the half to motivate them?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I don't think the lack of ball movt is selfishness - they are just way out of sync and have been since all the injuries. It's like they have to start all over again when it comes to chemistry.

Come back soon Brent, please! (the ball generally moves beautifully when he's out there)

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Jefferson chose not to extend for the max? I didn't know that. Impressive.
The guy has character. That's hard to turn down, when you're early in your career.

[ShoogarBear]

Look at the bright side, at least they're playing the Timberwolves close.

[Spurs Brazil]

J-Rich 333333333333333333

[duncan228]

Shoogar on a roll tonight! :lol

[m33p0]

Look at the bright side, at least they're playing the Timberwolves close.
that's the bright side? shit. we're doomed.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Zone, huh?

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

those tabloids got to to tony

[duncan228]

Starting to resemble the Spurs...

[ShoogarBear]

:lol and the Pistons are in OT against the might Bobcats.

Good thing Charlotte won't make the playoffs or they'd kick Boston and Detroit's asses.

[m33p0]

:lol and the Pistons are in OT against the might Bobcats.

Good thing Charlotte won't make the playoffs or they'd kick Boston and Detroit's asses.
who says they can't?

[Spurs Brazil]

End of 2nd

Wolves up 45-44

[duncan228]

Damn.
There have been glimpses of the team I love.
Not enough, but glimpses...

[Amarelooms]

LOL Houston even blew them out LAST FREAKIN NIGHT by 30....sad indeed

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs not playing their best to their abilities. The teamwork on the offensive end, seems pretty non-existent

[twincam]

Spurs trail at the half.......you've got to be fuckin' kidding me!

No killer instinct.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow, Bruce has been soooooo cold lately.

duncan228 - only resemebling them for 30 second stretches, then reverting to those horrible pretend-Spurs... :depressed

[loveforthegame]

Pop should just hold up a mirror to each player and not say a word.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It's all about ball movement on O, and desire on D. Right now they don't seem to have either and get discouraged when things go wrong.

It's okay, we've seen them like this before and they always come back - REMEMBER THE STONECUTTER!

[SpursFanFirst]

:lol and the Pistons are in OT against the might Bobcats.

Good thing Charlotte won't make the playoffs or they'd kick Boston and Detroit's asses.

That's the same team that beat the mighty Celtics the other night.

[Stabbin' Cabin]

Sad, Duncan is almost done at 31...even Jefferson has passed him up now.

[Ice009]

Wow, Bruce has been soooooo cold lately.

duncan228 - only resemebling them for 30 second stretches, then reverting to those horrible pretend-Spurs... :depressed



I think Bruce is cold because he's been driving all season and not taking his three pointers when they are there, thus not getting any kind of rhythm going.

[ShoogarBear]

Sad, Duncan is almost done at 31...even Jefferson has passed him up now.3/100 on the Trollometer.

[duncan228]

Ruff...like I said...glimpses. Short glimpses of the real Spurs.

[m33p0]

Sad, Amare is almost done even before he started...even Jefferson has passed him up now.

[ShoogarBear]

Perhaps Tim should sit out a practice. That would show what he's made of.

[Ice009]

Spurs not playing well is an understatement. We will be OK though. Blow the Timberwolves out in the second half and get this thing going.

[Stabbin' Cabin]

Sad, Amare is almost done even before he started...even Jefferson has passed him up now.

Hmm, he's 9/10 with 19 points after 1 quarter tonight...definitely almost done.

1/100 on the Trollometer.

[1Parker1]

:lol and the Pistons are in OT against the might Bobcats.

Good thing Charlotte won't make the playoffs or they'd kick Boston and Detroit's asses.


:lol Charlotte seems to beat the elite teams every year. Last season they beat the Spurs, Mavs, and Suns at least once. This year they've already surprised the Celtics, possibibly the Pistons, and I'm sure they'll take one against the Spurs if recent trends are to continue.

[lefty]

CIA Pop

[ShoogarBear]

Bobcats lost on a horrible offensive goaltending call with 1.5 seconds left that took away a basket.

Bobcat Fan has witnessed the two most painful home losses of the year: this one and the Ray Allen basket.

[duncan228]

Why would a Suns troll be hanging out in here when his team is playing?

Is trolling a Spurs board more exciting than watching your own team or hanging out in a Suns game blog?

[ShoogarBear]

Hmm, he's 9/10 with 19 points after 1 quarter tonight...definitely almost done.

1/100 on the Trollometer.The power of pouting.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ruff...like I said...glimpses. Short glimpses of the real Spurs.

Yup.

Hey, I know you are a Duncanmaniac, but what's your take on his absent left hand? When he was younger he could both hook and layup lefty, but he hasn't done so for years and it frustrates the sh#t out of me because that's the reason he gets blocked a lot of the time (using his right when he should use his left).

[ShoogarBear]

FOC!!!! Tim, dunk that shit!

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley 333333333333333333333

[Cry Havoc]

Washington just beat the Celtics, who didn't make it to 80 points. wow.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD ftom TP

7-0 Spurs run

[freedom&justice]

That's the same team that beat the mighty Celtics the other night.

By 12, no less. Celtics were probably still hung over from beating us at home. 'Cats have always been able to beat the elite teams more than their fellow scrub teams.
Oh yeah, Nazr had a pretty good game too.

[ShoogarBear]

Who-hooo! Mighty Wiz taking it to the Celtics!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Now THAT was a bit better!

[ShoogarBear]

Washington just beat the Celtics, who didn't make it to 80 points. wow.Not over yet. Wiz up by 4 with ball and 27.5 left.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Lots of zone! We're basically saying amke your jumpshots to beat us.

[SpursFanFirst]

Washington just beat the Celtics, who didn't make it to 80 points. wow.


:clap that's great!

[Cry Havoc]

Fin-dog!

YEAAAH!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tony finally looks awake

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley 3333333333333333

Great job Oberto

[duncan228]

Ruff- Duncan doesn't use his left like he used to, I'm not sure why.
I assume comfort level. He's older, his game is settled, he goes with his strengths. He'll still use his left now and then, he can be effective with it.
I'm with you, I'd like to see him mix it up more. But I trust his judgement. If he's staying with his right at this point in his career he must have a reason.

[1Parker1]

Is Ray Allen playing for the Celts?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Now, don't let up! Bury these cellar dwellers.

BTW - they are playing the zone very well.

[Stabbin' Cabin]

Why would a Suns troll be hanging out in here when his team is playing?

Is trolling a Spurs board more exciting than watching your own team or hanging out in a Suns game blog?

Our coach is retarded, it's not fun watching the Suns give up 40 uncontested layups and 30 offensive rebounds every game. It's more fun watching football and making fun of your old crippled team.

[Spurs Brazil]

4th on Doleac

[duncan228]

Is Ray Allen playing for the Celts?

Yes.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Our coach is retarded, it's not fun watching the Suns give up 40 uncontested layups and 30 offensive rebounds every game. It's more fun watching football and making fun of your old crippled team.
In that case, welcome aboard!

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan pounding it inside. Good to see.

[ShoogarBear]

Is Ray Allen playing for the Celts?He missed a game earlier this week, but yes.

He's been sucking mightily for almost a couple of weeks though. I know because he's on my Dynasty League fantasy team.

[duncan228]

Our coach is retarded, it's not fun watching the Suns give up 40 uncontested layups and 30 offensive rebounds every game. It's more fun watching football and making fun of your old crippled team.

Got it.
I was just curious.
Have fun.

[ShoogarBear]

Wiz win!

[duncan228]

I'm glad I got Spurs call tonight, I got the Military appreciation stuff.
It's been nice.

[Spurs Brazil]

5th on Doleac

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Wiz win!
Just beating a team they're supposed to beat.

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn FTs

[Cry Havoc]

Steal by Fabs! Go Oberto! Get that sand out of your crotch and play!

[duncan228]

Duncan looking like himself now...playing great but can't buy a FT.

Oh Ruff...Left hook! :)

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto playing very well

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hmmmmm, we're actually going to have to grind this out. No blowout tonight. Maybe good for the character if they win one tough.

Can't stop Jefferson.

And Just to prove me wrong, Tim just pulled out a RUNNING LEFT HOOK! :lmao

[Ice009]

There's a lefty for ya Ruff ;). That was a sweet move too.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

See, Timmy should use his left FAR MORE OFTEN!

Wow, we look much better in transition than anything else.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs 11-22FT

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Don't get me wrong, I love Tim's left, he ought to use it!

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto J, 6pts 7rebs

Spurs up 8

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Howard, Jefferson, Kaman - great to see young back-to-the-basket centres again!

[duncan228]

Sweet.
Manu the thief!
And he gets the basket in the end.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Spurs up 10

[Cry Havoc]

YAY Udoka!

[1Parker1]

Man, is everyone else HAPPY that the Wiz are winning without Arenas? I sure am...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That zone really messed Minne up, now we're back to man and they're clueless. Good coaching.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Sweet.
Manu the thief!
And he gets the basket in the end.
That steal on the inbounds was sweet.

[ShoogarBear]

Man, is everyone else HAPPY that the Wiz are winning without Arenas? I sure am...Oh, yeah. The defense and ball movement is light-years better.

The question is whether Gilbert is watching and learning, or whether he is determined to get his stats for his contract year. My money is on the latter, unfortunately.

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[duncan228]

Love the defense.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu on fire!!!!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu's doing great

[duncan228]

Duncan looks tired.

[Spurs Brazil]

Cisco in for TD

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bonner needs to make the extra pass at times.

[Cherry]

Manuu!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner J, 8tps

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Jacque Vaughn is really impressing lately.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

They look like they're having fun now - that's good. Teams always play better when they are enjoying the game. The ball movt has been much better in the 3rd.

However, that's twice they've messed up the end of the quarter.

One step forward, take one back...

[ShoogarBear]

Those last 2 possession were horrible.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bad end to the 3rd. It's okay, just blow it open in the 4th

[Budkin]

Manu really is having trouble dribbling with that splint, you can just tell.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

No blowout here - they will have to grind, and it will be good for them.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

They look like they're having fun now - that's good. Teams always play better when they are enjoying the game. ..
That's how they were when they were on their b est start.

[loveforthegame]

Terrible end to the 3rd but much better effort and defense. Spurs cannot afford to let up now.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu really is having trouble dribbling with that splint, you can just tell.
yeah, it's slowing him down a little bit when he wants to drive. still a bad turnover though.

but whatever , he gave us a good lead.

[Ice009]

Let's really bury these guys. Focused 4th quarter.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That's how they were when they were on their b est start.

Exactly, it all looked easy.

From 5 down to 1 minute in the 3rd, they were moving the ball like it was November again. Give us more ! :tu

[Cherry]

Someone hit Manu's face. We need him angry. :pctoss

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu J

Spurs up 7

[Spurs Brazil]

great job JV

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Damn manu's really good at creating taht shot

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Maybe JV's intensity is what gets this team back on track... that and Brent's return, and Manu's health.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu first foul.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu's energy level is really high right now. He's making all these hustle plays.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What a terrible call on that rebound! As Manu gesticulated, PHYSICs says that he could not have put that ball out! :lmao

[duncan228]

I like how the trolls disappear when we get the lead.

[Cherry]

I like how the trolls disappear when we get the lead.


:lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime 3333333333333333333

Good ball movement

TP 7asts

[duncan228]

Parker and one.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP and one!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I was hoping Tony would show us some clutch today - so far, pretty good!

[duncan228]

Wolves hanging around...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spoke too soon... :lol

[duncan228]

Duncan another left for Ruff.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD from JV

TP layup

Spurs up 11

[m33p0]

how are things going? i had to run for an errand.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Where are the Vaughn haters now? It's his intensity that's driving most of our good play.

Still flashes of old Spurs - first two possessions with TP in - then 2 horrible possession - then two good ones...

I'm glad the Wolves are making them gut it out. It's the only way to find the team identity again.

[loveforthegame]

Really happy with the play of Vaughn and Oberto tonight.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Duncan another left for Ruff.

Why doesn't he use it against good defenders? This is the most he's used his left all season.

[Spurs Brazil]

JV 8asts 3stls

[Ice009]

Vaughn's intensity and tenacity tonight is awesome. Parker Vaughn line up a good one to use more often?

[duncan228]

Duncan pissed with the jump ball call.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

How do they call a jump ball when Jeff has only one arm on the ball to Tim's two, and his arms is draped all over Tim's??? Illogical.

[duncan228]

Why doesn't he use it against good defenders? This is the most he's used his left all season.

He's used it. Not like the early years, but it's there.
I'd have to go back through games to be sure, but we've seen it in most games this season when he's playing well. When he's off we don't see it, he stays with his right.

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime 3333333333333333

Spurs up 18

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Well, glimpses of the Spurs we know and love, and a very solid second half with much shorter lapses of crapball.

A step in the right direction.

:tu

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

He's used it. Not like the early years, but it's there.
I'd have to go back through games to be sure, but we've seen it in most games this season when he's playing well. When he's off we don't see it, he stays with his right.

Trust me, I've been looking for it all season and he's used it less than once a game.

As for not using it when he's off, I think that's the problem. He gets blocked a couple of times shooting righty when he should be shooting it with the left (driving to the middle from the right block, for eg). He should use it all the time - it will free up his right.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

BTW, you know I love Tim, right? I just want to see him use his talents to the utmost. I know he's probably got a reason for not using his left when he should, I'd just like to know what it is.

That running left hook tonight was a thing a beauty. I can do that... ;)

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

She's called that twice on Bonner... I don't see it. She's been pretty awful.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Done. Now to take that momentum into the next game...

[loveforthegame]

Good to see the Spurs put it away in the 4th.

Pop gave some good minutes to Elson, Udoka, and Richardson while resting Finley and Bowen.

The big 3 did their thing with some nice contributions from Oberto and Vaughn and quiet outing by Finley.

[m33p0]

104 spurs
88 hushpuppies
almost... but not quite.

[bigfundamental21]

We finally got Pop his 600th win. Not that it matters to him at all. I thought we had a lot better effort on defense. Better rotations, more challenges at the rim, more hustle on loose balls. Defense is always the key. Although we didn't put it away until late, it was a good win. Now we need to get a streak going.

[td4mvp21]

BTW, you know I love Tim, right? I just want to see him use his talents to the utmost. I know he's probably got a reason for not using his left when he should, I'd just like to know what it is.

That running left hook tonight was a thing a beauty. I can do that... ;)

I agree, he'd probably make a lot more shots if he used his left.

[T Park]

Star of the game.

Jacque Vaughn.

8 assists, no turnovers, 3 steals.


Dude was awesome tonight.

His wife sitting in front of us seemed to enjoy it too :lol
