Spurs vs. Sixers Jan. 14 - Game Blog

[timvp]

Will the Spurs sleepwalk again or will they finally start getting it together?

I guess we'll find out tonight against a team they should beat -- especially at home.

[duncan228]

Come out strong, knock them out, and sit the starters for the fourth.

I want to see them play like they mean it. At least in longer spurts than the Wolves game.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I know we've been saying their slump is just January stuff and I agree with it, but if we lose tonights game it's just something I can't ignore.

[Jimcs50]

Well, if they can not beat a team that they have only one loss at home to in 21 yrs, then they really are in trouble.

[ThomasGranger]

I watched that game at the Alamodome and remember thinking, "that Iverson guy is pretty good." It think it was his rookie season.

[Budkin]

My guess is that they sleepwalk through the first half and squeak it out at the very end. I don't see them breaking out of their funk just yet

[boutons_]

win or lose, garbage game.

Sixers are typify too little player/coach/mgmt talent chasing too many NBA teams.

[BonnerDynasty]

Start Bonner.

[duncan228]

Spurs call on League Pass.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

didnt philly beat us in our gym last year?

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Lets Go Babies !!!!!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Fin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

bruce, mid-range jumper

[duncan228]

I like the energy these first few minutes.
Let's see if they maintain it.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

spurs missing shots and transition layups for philly

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

td to tp inside

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

are we gonna stop the ball on D ?

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

14-11 philly

[duncan228]

Bad pass.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

layup after layup for philly

[loveforthegame]

Stupid turnovers.

A stop or two would be nice.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

we work so hard to get shots that we miss, and then our opp just takes it to us

:pctoss

[boutons_]

Spurs sucking, FG 40% vs 57%

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

What happened to our team taking care of the ball?

[it's me]

Try it!!

mms://a1521.l3072829410.c30728.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/1521/30728/v0001/reflector:29410?auth=caEa1diboaQbta8bOdscBb8c3cfc5 cyb.aJ-bhJaYW-eS-zqGDHwp&aifp=0002&upos=1

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ugh. Look good for 2 minutes, then fall in a hole again...

Tim has been put off by the early doubles. Since then he's forced a bad shot and made an inexplicable pass to Bowen with men all around him. If Tim wants to get going he has to catch and go straight into his move, like he did the other night.

[duncan228]

That looks better.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

there you go attack !!!!!!!!!!!!
like they do to us

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Does Elson come in with Manu, because Manu tells him where to be at... better?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

76ers are beating our transition D down the court - not many teams do that very often!

[duncan228]

Ugh.

[Udrihlooms]

This isn't even funny, Spurs.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

damn Sisco shot that jumper like KG

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Phili is having fun. We look bloody old.

No penetration at the mo - all jumpshots. Better change that or we'll get beaten.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

22-21 philly w/ 3:01 left in 1st Q

[duncan228]

"Sixers lead it" is not a phrase I wanted to hear at all tonight.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Cisco has a nice jumper, Pop's telling him to shoot it when open.

I'd put Bonner, not Rob, in here. We need energy and speed, and Bonner's a lot quicker than Rob at this stage of his career.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Cisco has a nice jumper, Pop's telling him to shoot it when open.

I'd put Bonner, not Rob, in here. We need energy and speed, and Bonner's a lot quicker than Rob at this stage of his career.

very true, Rob is just so sneaky and savvy

[Udrihlooms]

I am having a very bad feeling about this game.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Rob with the ol' eye gouge

[duncan228]

Horry's fingers in Miller's eyes?

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

I am having a very bad feeling about this game.

im not worried cause i know we'll have a chance in the end. i will be worried though cause we havent been able to take advantage of our chances.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice job Cisco

[duncan228]

Horry got it back.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Best tip of the year by Cisco! He looks good on O today, although he keeps making the wrong decisions on D...

[loveforthegame]

Good to see Elson contributing in the last couple games. Might be scrub teams but maybe it helps him get going again.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

very true, Rob is just so sneaky and savvy

Yeah, and so far he's playing very well.

[Udrihlooms]

I just hope we'll bury the Sixers before half time so the starters can slack off after the halftime. It seems that (except Duncan), the starters are almost bored to death waiting for the playoffs.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

27-24 Spurs after 1

[duncan228]

...almost bored to death waiting for the playoffs.

Aren't we all? :)

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu, please stop clanging 3s and bring out your mid range game.

Fab, Fin, Cisco, Rob, all played a good quarter. The rest... meh.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Poor Dre Miller - that shit really hurts. Totally unintentional though - Rob was trying to get his hands out of the way!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Aren't we all? :)

i relish the opportunity to have games to watch most of the year. playoffs are badass , but then.........

.........the friggin' off-season

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

In my first trip to SA in 2003, I was in the corner about 7 rows back and mercilessly heckled Dre (good naturedly) after he missed his first couple of Js. By half-time he was 1-7. I yelled out "keep shootin Dre!" and he came over, crossed his arms and glared at me. It was fun. :lmao

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

J Vaughn baby !

[Spurs Brazil]

Jv J

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

i relish the opportunity to have games to watch most of the year. playoffs are badass , but then.........

.........the friggin' off-season

Offseason is horrible!

Don't make my mistake and check out the troll forum during offseason - big mistake! :lol

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

damn elson ate his own shot

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Big block by Booth!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Offseason is horrible!

Don't make my mistake and check out the troll forum during offseason - big mistake! :lol

:lol yeah, :lol the club is about as far as i go

[duncan228]

i relish the opportunity to have games to watch most of the year. playoffs are badass , but then.........

.........the friggin' off-season

I was a little tongue in cheek there.
I'm one of those that watches every game. And I tape every one.
I love it, all of it, even when they're playing like this! :lol

The Playoffs are the big bang of course, but I love the whole season.

The off season kills me. It seems to get longer every year.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great D on that possession - the system working as it should.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

yeah i went through this whole last offseason on here with everybody. its pretty funny what we'll talk about to kill time

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

damn both of em' were gonna smack that shot

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What's with Tim late on rotations lately?

And where is Manu's O?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu passed when he should have shot for once :lol

[duncan228]

Duncan quiet, no points yet, missed his one attempt.
3 assists and 4 boards though...

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

What's with Tim late on rotations lately?

And where is Manu's O?
He has 3 assists, basically he's creating plays for the other guys right now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This will be another game where they'll have to grind it out. Phili have lots of energy, and unless they go ultra cold, they'll stay with us because the D to enforce a streak of stops just isn't there yet.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

He has 3 assists, basically he's creating plays for the other guys right now.

Yeah, I noticed that, but I'd like to see more of his mid range game.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Dalembert is makin sean blush

[duncan228]

I like this Udoka kid.

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime 33333333333333333333

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

tim baby yeah !

[bdictjames]

Udoka 3333 nice, Spurs up 4

[Spurs Brazil]

TD slam dunk!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

tony tambien !

[bdictjames]

Who is guarding Dalembert?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We haven't seen that from Tim for a while!

[Spurs Brazil]

TP layup, 10pts

Spurs up 6

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

tony behind the back to fabby !!!!!!!!!!1

[Udrihlooms]

This will be another game where they'll have to grind it out. Phili have lots of energy, and unless they go ultra cold, they'll stay with us because the D to enforce a streak of stops just isn't there yet.

These young teams are ferocious and they do have a lot of energy. They have nothing to lose. And they do circle their calendars for a game against us. If you let them hang out too long, they'll grow confidence and if we're not too careful they can beat us. The equivalent of a sucker or haymaker punch in boxing.

Spurs should break their will while it's yet early so we can coast and rest the starters in the 4th.

[duncan228]

Some nice stuff.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Tony rejuvenated,

that pass to Fab shows that he's awake, now Manu and Tim need to wake up a little more.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Keep the highlight reel goin' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bdictjames]

Wow, nice run.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

On Dalembert - every time I see him play he makes shots like today! apparently, he's an awful offensive player generally besides put backs, but I always see him at his best.

[BonnerDynasty]

Gotta get up by 20 and then let Bonner step on throats.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

maybe spurs4real is 4real

[milkyway21]

late is better than never Tim :lol

Score:
42-34 Spurs :flag:

I'm not really excited winning this game. What's I'm excited about is Feb 10.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Mike Fin-three

[bdictjames]

Who says they wanted more of Timmy's midrange game?

[duncan228]

Boston Feb. 10th?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I totally agree with Sean, when Tim doesn't hesitate he is a much better player.

This is almost the best sustained run of good play by the Spurs in a month!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Tony's doing great. his passes are becoming trickier for defenses to guess if he's going to go for hte lay up or not

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Who says they wanted more of Timmy's midrange game?

I said I wanted more of MANU'S midrange game. :lol

[duncan228]

2nd on Duncan.

[bdictjames]

Sometimes Tim is too patient. :lol

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

I totally agree with Sean, when Tim doesn't hesitate he is a much better player.

This is almost the best sustained run of good play by the Spurs in a month!

:toast i agree

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow! Dalembert is man-handling us on the boards.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs FG-58.1%
76ers - FG44.1%

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Dalemberrt??? :wtf

Go away Dalembert.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

:oops spurs tryin' to swipe in the backcourt instead of gettin back down

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Tim's O is on for the 2nd quarter.

still waiting on Manu's.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I really hate to see wide open three-point shots like Tony's last one - unless it's Brent or Fin, they rarely go down. Just like with Tim, the pause messes with the shooters head.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:oops spurs tryin' to swipe in the backcourt instead of gettin back down
Yeah, they seem a little weird on D.

[milkyway21]

Boston Feb. 10th?that's right. This team made a turnaround last yr when they won a hard-fought battle against Detroit last yr after a series of losses, just before the All-Star game that made me think there's a chance for them to made it through June of 2007. Maybe a win over Celtics can revive them again this year. I'm tired of hearing those people saying about how good the Celtics are. They have to prove it first.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

the chick behind pop was smokin

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

tony's workin too hard

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

2nd time bruce drove to the rim for a reality check

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

what was going through tims head, someone please tell me

[milkyway21]

I didn't know Duncan can do finger-rolls. he :Dhe:D

[ShoogarBear]

Gotta get up by 20 and then let Bonner step on throats.Hopefully not his own.

[milkyway21]

Elson will score in double digits...:lol

[duncan228]

Maybe a win over Celtics can revive them again this year. I'm tired of hearing those people saying about how good the Celtics are. They have to prove it first.

They do normally rise and play their best against another good team. Which is why the Detroit game was a little unsettling. It wasn't the loss, it was the effort in the first quarter.

I agree that they should rise for Boston, and the timing is right for them to be turning up the steam and coming together as a team for the push to the Playoffs.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great second quarter by Parker and Duncan!

I wonder why Manu is so hesitant to attack today? He is passing well, but he doesn't seem to want to go to the hole.

BTW, check out these dynasty league scores for my team for the last month - 141, 135, 137, 134... and the bench guys have all put up 5-10 pts too. It's an injury resistant team too, because there's only one real star.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What did they say about Dre?

If my posts are sometimes strange in this thread, it's because I'm using voice recognition and the computer got it wrong!

Oh, and can someone please let me know when the game is restarting? Thanks.

[duncan228]

League Pass went to stats central for halftime. Too bad, I wanted to see the Spurs halftime report. I can't make heads or tails as to how LP makes these choices. It's never the same. I had the military halftime.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

its about hemisfair right now

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

they showed a woman smoking haha

[Otaku]

Blowout win by the Blazers@NJ

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

[duncan228]

Doesn't sound like I'm missing much. :lol

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Doesn't sound like I'm missing much. :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Wiz up 3 with 8.6 left, Boston ball.

[ShoogarBear]

Wiz close 23-6 to win it.

:smokin

[Spurs Brazil]

manu and cisco in for fin and oberto

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm so glad Fab is back starting again - he's much better as a starter.

[duncan228]

Could Boston be coming down to Earth?

[Spurs Brazil]

Wizards is to Boston what Warriors is to Mavs :lol

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

manu cant resist fouling sometimes, like he refuses to get schooled. ala dirk nowiztki

[loveforthegame]

Fin and Oberto in trouble? They were pulled rather quickly.

[Spurs Brazil]

76ers with 6FTA already in the 3rd quarter

[ShoogarBear]

Tim misses left hand. Damn you, Ruff.

[duncan228]

Duncan intense. Too bad he couldn't get it in.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

now tim is working too hard

[Spurs Brazil]

TD with 12rebs

[Spurs Brazil]

After Cavs game 12 of 14 will be on the road

[Spurs Brazil]

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

And 13 points, 4 assists, 1 block and only 1 TO. :smokin

[duncan228]

Ugly quarter so far.

[Spurs Brazil]

We need some energy

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Did someone put valium in the Gatorade?

Ugh.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

thats what we need, tony shootin three's

[Spurs Brazil]

Terrible quarter by the Spurs

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim misses left hand. Damn you, Ruff.

:lol hey, he made two the other day and missed none, so he's 66% with that thing!

[Spurs Brazil]

We can't score

3-14FG in the quarter

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

As I said earlier in this thread - LIVING AND DYING BY JUMPSHOTS WILL GET YOU KILLED.

Get to the friggin hole, Spurs.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs aren't very convincing...they need to remember when they started blowing out teams by wide margins.

[telecomguy]

:lol hey, he made two the other day and missed none, so he's 66% with that thing!

Parker has got to be the WORST frigging jump shooting PG in the entire league....he gets open looks after open looks and he can't get it in. When is he going to learn how to hit wide open jumper from 15 feet? It's beyond frustrating. And to think that some of the posters here think he is top 5 PG.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I HATE it when they get jumper happy. :pctoss

Manu and TP - you can't hit the broad side of a barn today, so GO TO THE RACK. Bruce - do the opposite! :lol

Fin is the only one who should be shooting Js today.

[duncan228]

Parker has got to be the WORST frigging jump shooting PG in the entire league....he gets open looks after open looks and he can't get it in. When is he going to learn how to hit wide open jumper from 15 feet? It's beyond frustrating. And to think that some of the posters here think he is top 5 PG.

He was talking about Duncan, not Parker.

[telecomguy]

Spurs aren't very convincing...they need to remember when they started blowing out teams by wide margins.

you know when the opponents are daring him to shoot the 15 foot jump shot and collapsing on Duncan and Parker cant make it, we have a problem.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Parker has got to be the WORST frigging jump shooting PG in the entire league....he gets open looks after open looks and he can't get it in. When is he going to learn how to hit wide open jumper from 15 feet? It's beyond frustrating. And to think that some of the posters here think he is top 5 PG.

Huh? That has nothing to do with what you quoted! ;lol

[ShoogarBear]

When is he going to learn how to hit wide open jumper from 15 feet? It's beyond frustrating.

[ShoogarBear]

Huh? That has nothing to do with what you quoted! ;lolJust another Parker Foamer.

[ShoogarBear]

Horry thought that one was going in.

[telecomguy]

He was talking about Duncan, not Parker.

yeah i know but parker is one frustrating dude...he is so one friggin dimensional.

i know he is very good at that but he is a supposed star and he can't make a jump shot if his life depended on it.

[Spurs Brazil]

76ers up 3

Spurs 3-16FG in the quarter

[ShoogarBear]

yeah i know but parker is one frustrating dude...he is so one friggin dimensional.

i know he is very good at that but he is a supposed star and he can't make a jump shot if his life depended on it.We get it, you hate Parker. Move along.

[Sp Ginobili 20]

Manu can't hit a field goal for beans!

[milkyway21]

what's wrong with Manu? 4 pts? :oops

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We're lucky Phili suck, or we'd be down 12 by now.

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime doing a great job

[telecomguy]

yeah i know but parker is one frustrating dude...he is so one friggin dimensional.

i know he is very good at that but he is a supposed star and he can't make a jump shot if his life depended on it.

Udoka is playing well.

[ShoogarBear]

This is one suck-ass quarter.

[bdictjames]

Udoka is playing well.
statwise or unstat-wise?

[loveforthegame]

Why in the world is Finley on the bench? He'll be cold once he returns.

[bdictjames]

This is one suck-ass quarter.
8 points lol we're like the Celts.

[telecomguy]

We get it, you hate Parker. Move along.

yeah i know he drives me crazy and i wish he didn't!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu's shot hasn't fallen for him at all ...hopefully he can get at least ONE field goal before the end of the night.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

yeah i know but parker is one frustrating dude...he is so one friggin dimensional.

i know he is very good at that but he is a supposed star and he can't make a jump shot if his life depended on it.

Nor can Manu.

The entire team is settling for jumpers and it's crap and will lose them the game unless they snap out of it, but you can't blame Parker for that.

[anjlbitz]

We should waive TP and sign telecomguy.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Shit, the no offense lineup! What is Pop thinking???

Get Finley and Oberto out there.

[Spurs Brazil]

Another Horry miss

Where's Bonner???????????????

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

manu, suck it up boy

[Spurs Brazil]

3-20FG, 14 straight misses

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

jumpshots... too many jumpshots! :madrun

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This is PATHETIC. Stop settling for 20fters you morons. WTF is wrong with them???

Pass and cut, motion... jeeeezus.

[loveforthegame]

Not sure what Pop is trying tonight.

[duncan228]

Manu grabs his hand. Makes me hold my breath every time he does.

[telecomguy]

We should waive TP and sign telecomguy.

ok i am in...for 10% of what Parker is making!!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

ok , im down with gettin danny ferry.....i mean bonner in here

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why did it take so long for a drive.

Way to dog a frickin hole for yourselves, Spurs.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

man Manu's hand, must not be comfortable in that thing

[telecomguy]

This is PATHETIC. Stop settling for 20fters you morons. WTF is wrong with them???

Pass and cut, motion... jeeeezus.

and you guys thought 4 down was a terrible strategy....where is Duncan? Get him back in fast.

[duncan228]

I think Pop's still messing with his rotations. Obviously.

He wants to know what he's got before it really starts to matter. See what different looks get him in different situations.

[ShoogarBear]

Good lord this is ugly.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

shit elson, why cant you make a jumper when it matters

[Amarelooms]

Should the Mavs be worried about facing the Spurs yet?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Better.

Why hasn't Bonner played tonight?

[Udrihlooms]

Not sure what Pop is trying tonight.

Trying to catch up with Miami???

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

and you guys thought 4 down was a terrible strategy....where is Duncan? Get him back in fast.

Any strategy is poor if overused. Variety is the key.

And you are really starting to bug me.

[Spurs Brazil]

Double T, Horry and Evans

Ime 2/2FT

76ers up 1

[TMTTRIO]

I didn't like seeing Manu clutching that hand again. I almost wish they would just sit him until he doesn't have to wear that stupid splint. It's obviously affecting him even though he says it doesn't. I hope this finger injury doesn't linger on for the rest of the season and affect his shooting:(.

[ShoogarBear]

FUCK, Cisco!

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN Cisco

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

spurs scared of the rim in every way

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

FUCK, Cisco!
yeah, I dont get why he blew that play

[loveforthegame]

How sad we'll need another dominant 4th (like Minnesota) to put a scrub team away.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs 3-22fg in the 3rd

[Udrihlooms]

Bring back Beno!!! :lmao

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner finally in

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

They started going to the rim in the last two minutes but just couldn't put anything in it.

Great ball in the second quarter, some of the best we've seen for ages, and then the absolute pits in the third... this team is very frustrating right now.

Gotta grind this one out just as I said.

[telecomguy]

yeah, I dont get why he blew that play

same problem as Nazr........he tries to hold onto the ball too long and put it on the floor BEFORE taking it up strong for a dunk. If he had any brains or skill, he would have taken it up at the same time as caught the ball and would have had easy dunk

[boutons_]

I called it, it's garbage game, both teams shooting under 40% thru 3 qtrs.

Which team will get just hot enough in 4th?

[Spurs Brazil]

TD is in the game, why take a long J

4-down in the whole quarter

76ers up 3

[ShoogarBear]

Hey, what's that called when a shot goes in again?

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley FG after 17 misses

[ShoogarBear]

Bonner comes in to give us another needed jump shot.

[duncan228]

:lol at Shoogar.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

heres our chance, will we make the most of it?

[boutons_]

Spurs 3 - 17 3Gs, totally dependent on them.

This is insane.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Attack the rim, get in the penalty ASAP.

The way the ball is not falling, we need FTs.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bad shot after bad shot

GO INSIDE

[Udrihlooms]

Hey, what's that called when a shot goes in again?

:D

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

STOP THE FUCKING 3s!!!

[loveforthegame]

I knew Finley would be cold after sitting that whole time.

If they lose this game at least the bandwagon Spurs fans will jump.

Why Do We Keep Shooting Mother Fucking Threes

Bonner!, Bonner!, Bonner!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

You know what, screw it, they deserve to lose this. I hope they wake the fuck up when they do.

[telecomguy]

Spurs 3 - 17 3Gs, totally dependent on them.

so why are they not trying to get the ball into Duncan? TD had Dalembert sealed and Finley dribbles around and shoots another missed jumper.......i don't get it.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I knew Finley would be cold after sitting that whole time.

Yup, you called it, although that fadeaway he hit was pretty hot.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

How sad we'll need another dominant 4th (like Minnesota) to put a scrub team away.
it's pretty sad. :lol

[dbreiden83080]

TD needs to carry them down the stretch.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Pop has got to stop screwing with the rotation. I think that's a part of why they're so out of sync right now.

[Admidave50]

can't watch the game but seems that Spurs are playing deep as shit!

can't wait that our spurs finally get over their slump and play championship bball!

[duncan228]

Fuck.

Choose your answer:

We thought we're:

a. the Warriors
b. the Suns
c. the Mavericks
d. the Bulls '08

Hint: more like letter "D"

STOP THE FUCKING 3s!!!

Spurs are becoming like what Mavs used to be (and sometimes still are).....living and dying by jump shots. Its sad. They seem to have forgotten that they have a Hall of Famer in the post

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Bruce's 3rd reality check o' the night

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF Bruce is doing

[ShoogarBear]

Hmm, there seems to be a difference between when Bruce Bowen goes to the rim and when Thaddeus Young goes to the rim.
