Spurs @ Wizards Feb. 6 - Game Blog

[loveforthegame]

Keep shooting Udoka. Damn, somebody please hit a shot.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TD!

[T Park]

Spurs shittily swapping baskets with these lottery jokers.

That would be half way snickerable if the Wizards werent in the playoffs wich right now, they are.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice pass

Wiz up one

[Ice009]

Spurs look really mediocre out there right now. Very lethargic. NOT GOOD. COME ON.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nice pass by Rob, even better hands by Tim.

[loveforthegame]

Duncan needs some help out there. Somebody better step up so he's not out of gas in the 4th.

[T Park]

UNACCEPTABLE.

Yeah Im sure they care.

[T Park]

Horry needs to get set up for a shot or two. I don't think hes taken one all night.

some pick and pops with him and Udoka or Ginobili need to happen.

[Ice009]

Yeah Im sure they care.


So you actually like the Spurs to play this way do you?

[Spurs Brazil]

great another miss 3

[remingtonbo2001]

Traveling?!?!?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Go To The Hole.

[spursrocksocks]

put fucking bonner in

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Horry

Wizards up 3

[remingtonbo2001]

I think Bob is starting to wake up from his season long slumber

[td4mvp21]

If someone on our team would just drive!

[ThomasGranger]

OK, Manu will get the Spurs run going.

[T Park]

Udoka fouled Jamison not Horry.

BS.

Horry is lookin a little better game by game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finly made a shot

Wiz up 3

[Ice009]

Spurs offense is back to being a joke. MOVE AROUND, PASS THE BALL AND FREAKING TAKE IT TO THE RACK AT WILL.

MANU better not come backs hooting jumpers. TAKE IT TO THE RACK!

[ricketts]

man, EVERYONE looks a step slow out there.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

So you actually like the Spurs to play this way do you?

Dude, they aren't hitting their shots, but it's a scrappy game, a road b-t-b, and they;re still well in it with decent D. Chillax... ;)

[T Park]

So you actually like the Spurs to play this way do you?

Yeah I love it to death.

But saying its UNACCEPTABLE!!! is just hilarious :lol

[T Park]

Big time rob we call him? :lol

[T Park]

Nice anticipation by Finley on that entry.

[kingsfan]

GO WIZS!!! :toast

[loveforthegame]

Going to be a loooong 4th quarter.

[T Park]

I predict a final score of 78-77

Spurs win on a four down bucket by Duncan and Andray Blatche throws up a jump shot that finally shatters the backboard.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs look really mediocre out there right now. Very lethargic. NOT GOOD. COME ON.
reminds of the 2006 regular season games, on B2B's

[T Park]

Spurs offense is back to being a joke. MOVE AROUND, PASS THE BALL AND FREAKING TAKE IT TO THE RACK AT WILL.

MANU better not come backs hooting jumpers. TAKE IT TO THE RACK!

You need to cut back on the caffine.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Big time rob we call him? :lol
:lol I think, it's pretty much a variation of everything.

Big Game Bob
Big Shot Rob
Big Time Bob is the first time I heard from that region

[Otaku]

Jv!

[Spurs Brazil]

JV J!!!

Spurs up 1

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu time - watch him drive.

[T Park]

Vaughn continues his good play.

8 points tonight.

[Ice009]

Yeah I love it to death.

But saying its UNACCEPTABLE!!! is just hilarious :lol


I can almost guarantee you POP would be saying the same thing.

It's true the Wizards are a playoff team, but they are missing their best player this season - Caron Butler. To me, with out Butler they are a lottery team. We should be putting lottery teams away.

[dbreiden83080]

Come on now big 4th qtr lets go.

[SpursFanFirst]

Hey everyone!
I just got home from work, and I'm curious how this game is going...well, how Stoudamire is doing, really. Right off the bat, he scored 6 points. But I just checked the box score, and he hasn't scored anymore since then.
How's he doing?

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Horry from manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Spurs 8-0 run, up 3

[ricketts]

anyone elsee getting that annoying ass buzzing sound on fssw on Time Warner?

[T Park]

Horry underneath.

I'm tellin ya.

Horry can still ball.

[DannyT]

Vaughn continues his good play.

8 points tonight.


blaaaaaaaaaah :nope

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu's 7th assist (1 TO) to Rob.

[Ice009]

That's it, GO INSIDE. Good play Horry.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I can almost guarantee you POP would be saying the same thing.

It's true the Wizards are a playoff team, but they are missing their best player this season - Caron Butler. To me, with out Butler they are a lottery team. We should be putting lottery teams away.

Forget "should", it'll only cause you pain.

Once again, back-to-back on the road. Get with it. They'll gut it out and win it with D.

[T Park]

The Wizards are a tough scrappy team.

Lots of long forwards who can get out on you quit.

Jamison is a bitch to handle.

Haywood always plays well against the Spurs.


Not suprising to me, Washington has lost 4 in a row is a little desperate. Spurs are on the second of a back to back, some open shots haven't fallen, no biggie.

[ClingingMars]

only duncan would be allowed in an opposing locker room.

speaks volumes.

-Mars

[td4mvp21]

Bullshit call for the home team!

[Spurs Brazil]

Stupid foul

[ricketts]

WTF is going on with the sound???

[T Park]

THAT IS A BULLSHIT CALL.

FINLEY STOOD WITH HIS HANDS UP!!!


FUckin TOTAL bailout bullshit call.

[td4mvp21]

Horry!!!!

[ClingingMars]

BIG SHOT BOB IS BACK

-Mars

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Horry underneath.

I'm tellin ya.

Horry can still ball.

Yeah, he made a layup, let's celebrate. He's playing okay, but he just fumbled away a rebound and his feet just don't move like they used to. he is not 2007 Rob.

I'll wait and see.

...and then he makes a 3 (LP must be on a 2 minute delay)

[spursrocksocks]

BIg shot Is fucking officially back

[Spurs Brazil]

Horry 33333333333333333333333333333333333

[T Park]

Who hit that three?

Horry?


Impossible.

[spursrocksocks]

ginnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooo

[BonnerDynasty]

BIG SHOT BOB IS BACK

-Mars

It's the beard!

[ClingingMars]

GINOBILI

spurs starting to take over

-Mars

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Radiosparks]

Manuuuuu!!!!

Man, I hope this is a sign that Horry is coming around.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Here we come - time for a run.

[T Park]

Yeah, he made a layup, let's celebrate. He's playing okay, but he just fumbled away a rebound and his feet just don't move like they used to. he is not 2007 Rob.

I'll wait and see.


wha waz that?


:lol

Your really REALLY stretching to find something bad to say now.

His closeouts on D have been good.

The Jamison foul bailed out what would've been a defensive stop thanks to Horry rushing to the high guard on the outside of the three point line.

[tony09manu]

WTH is wrong with FSN??

[loveforthegame]

Time to put this team away.

[ClingingMars]

what part of get finley out do you not understand pop

-Mars

[spursrocksocks]

findog fuck yeah

[ClingingMars]

shit finley you prove me wrong RIGHT as i fucking post.

-Mars

[Ice009]

Well Ruffs been saying ALL GAME take it to the rack and looks what happens when u do ;).

[SpursFanFirst]

anyone???

how is Stoudamire doing? Right off the bat, he scored 6 points. But I just checked the box score, and he hasn't scored anymore since then.
Any thoughts?

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley 333333333333333333333333333333333

Spurs up 8

[T Park]

Good thing Pop doesn't listen to you Mars :)

[Radiosparks]

That's the Finley I would like to see more of.

[loveforthegame]

That 3 by Finley must have felt good. Crap shooting night but a big shot.

[ThomasGranger]

Fin keeps chipping away at that rock

[ricketts]

:lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

JV to a flash cutting Manu, to Oberto, to Fin for 3.

BEAUTIFUL.

[T Park]

Finley with another 4th quarter three.

Horry with a 4th quarter three.

Better get rid of em.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Nice Spurs ball movement! Looks like this might be the kind of 4th quarters we want. Hang around, toy with the competition. Then put the game away in the first four minutes of the 4th.

[T Park]

Jacque Vaughn is playing some kick ass basketball ever since that Phoenix game.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

wha waz that?


:lol

Your really REALLY stretching to find something bad to say now.

His closeouts on D have been good.

The Jamison foul bailed out what would've been a defensive stop thanks to Horry rushing to the high guard on the outside of the three point line.

I'm not saying anything bad, and you are only seeing the upside.

I said "I'll wait and see".

[ricketts]

anyone???

how is Stoudamire doing? Right off the bat, he scored 6 points. But I just checked the box score, and he hasn't scored anymore since then.
Any thoughts?


he hasn't had much time since the first. when he did he took his time and looked for the right play. i am really impressed with his performance. trying very hard and doing a great job of fitting into the system.

[carina_gino20]

now we're talkin... :smokin

[T Park]

I tell you watch that play again on replay.

When they move the ball on offense, it truly is a beautifull thing to watch.

[Radiosparks]

Nice TD!

[spursrocksocks]

Td!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Well Ruffs been saying ALL GAME take it to the rack and looks what happens when u do ;).

I say it all game every game! :lol

[T Park]

Duncan witha "take that kid"

[ClingingMars]

Good thing Pop doesn't listen to you Mars :)

fuck yeah, i'll admit that myself

but it won't stop me from posting!!!

;)

-Mars

[T Park]

Damn Jacque, that would've been a back breaker had you gotten that jumper.

[ricketts]

dude, this sound from FSSW is killing me. time warner is trash.

[ClingingMars]

FUCKKKK

-Mars

[BonnerDynasty]

Who the hell is running things behind FSSW? This is horrible. The audio is horrible and keeps switching between stereo and mono or some shit.

[Ice009]

Not good shot selection on that last one from Jacque. Took that shot too early in the shot clock.

[SpursFanFirst]

he hasn't had much time since the first. when he did he took his time and looked for the right play. i am really impressed with his performance. trying very hard and doing a great job of fitting into the system.

Thank you, Ricketts :)

[T Park]

Alright Damon, time to bust a couple jumpers baby.

[ricketts]

Thank you, Ricketts :)


Word.

[ClingingMars]

bruceeee thats your shot buddy!!!

-Mars

[T Park]

Bowen has played like crap tonight.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruce big shot

[ricketts]

Who the hell is running things behind FSSW? This is horrible. The audio is horrible and keeps switching between stereo and mono or some shit.


I feel like im watching a Vintage game on NBATV. its kinda nostalgic.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nice to see Bruce finding his stroke. :)

[T Park]

Yeah thanks Bruce for making that as I posted what I said after that stupid foul :lol

[ClingingMars]

lol @ wizards fans screaming THAT'S BULLSHIT

-Mars

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Heywood is unlucky - that was clean, and the play before he was wide open in the key, no pass.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

shouldn't have called that :lol

[T Park]

Dunc got away with one there.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Ball don't lie

[ClingingMars]

MM 3

-Mars

[spursrocksocks]

M M ripping it up

[Radiosparks]

MM hits a 333333333333eeeeeeee!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

To the hole!

[Spurs Brazil]

Damon 3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

[T Park]

Daaamoonnnn Stoudamire!!

Thank You Memphis!

[mikejones99]

have the wiz evn been past the first round in the last 25 years? eeeeeeeee

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu could get 10 assists

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Damon is da nutz!

[ClingingMars]

almost MM, good shot

-Mars

[T Park]

DAMN

I thought that 3 was IN!!

Shucks.

[Supergirl]

BTW, I think Stoudemire is working out just fine.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Every play must go to the hole (even if it ends in a wide open jumper). No excuses for weak play in the 4th Q.

[T Park]

Stoudamire I hope can keep this up the rest of the year.



WHY IS STOUDAMIRE COMING OUT!??!?!


WTF!!!


I don't get that move.

[ClingingMars]

WTF? come on REFS

-Mars

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why Take Mm Out????

[Supergirl]

Spurs need one more 3 or two more layups and this game is theirs.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Man, I don't like this lineup at all. Get Damon back in.

[mikejones99]

jv needs some crunch time minutes

[T Park]

God get Bowen out and put back in Udoka.

I don't get taking Stoudamire out.

he was playing great and the offense was working wonderfully.


Need to get Oberto back in as well.

[spursrocksocks]

I was wondering the same thing why mm out?

[Ice009]

Wtf Why Take Damon Out Pop? Are U Retarded?

Ffs Pop.

Offense was flowing nicely with Damon out there. Fucking POP.

[Supergirl]

I'm not watching - I'm following on Yahoo. Who does Bowen guard on the Wizards?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Agreed with all of the above.

Poor coaching, Pop.

[Warlord23]

Pop going to an defense-first, offensively challenged lineup in the 4th. Bowen is too small to muscle Jamison though, Udoka would be better

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Udoka has been cold though.

MM for JV I say.

[ricketts]

God get Bowen out and put back in Udoka.

I don't get taking Stoudamire out.

he was playing great and the offense was working wonderfully.


Need to get Oberto back in as well.

i agree with you about MM. but Udoka has been quite all night. Bowen is playing much better than him right now. not always, but right now.

[T Park]

Duncan only has 8 boards?

I thought he had more than that...

[T Park]

Horry back in the game.

[Supergirl]

Did the Wiz beat us at home earlier this year?

[td4mvp21]

Yep, these refs want Wizards to win.

[BonnerDynasty]

Stevenson has the Leonidas look goin' on.

[Supergirl]

Damn it, wtf is going on? Offensive foul on Tim?

[T Park]

No Supergirl.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bloody hell - 3 offensivve liabilities and only two scorers on the court. DUMB.

[loveforthegame]

Another close game. Crap.

[ThomasGranger]

That three woulda been huge

[ClingingMars]

DUNCAN AND1 BABY

-Mars

[T Park]

Damn what a board by Duncan.

DAMN

I thought that three was IN!!

[Ice009]

VAUGHN no no nono the other team won't guard him. not smart POP.

[Radiosparks]

Nice TD!! Lets hit the free throw.

[spursrocksocks]

lol bob land did the south park timmmay

[Spurs Brazil]

TD from Manu and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[T Park]

Yes

And 1!

Take That Mr Fung!

[Supergirl]

Excellent, Timmy takes it to the hole. And 1.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Horry with an early 3... what was he thinking?

[ClingingMars]

ballgame?

-Mars

[BonnerDynasty]

Vaughn getting those rebounds/loose balls!

[ClingingMars]

Horry with an early 3... what was he thinking?

an open 3...dagger.

-Mars

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu's 10th assist.

[T Park]

Huge FT by Timmy there.

[Supergirl]

Ok, back up to a 7 pt lead. Close this out, guys.

[ClingingMars]

WTF REBOUND GUYS

-Mars

[carina_gino20]

Manu ties his career high of 10 assists. :clap

[T Park]

Horry with an early 3... what was he thinking?

I've shot well all night and this would be a dagger.

:lmao

[td4mvp21]

How The Fuck Is That On Bowen?!?!? Fuck Jamison, He's A Little Bitch

[ricketts]

BS call on Bowen.

[T Park]

Why the fuck is Manu all the way down in the paint OFF of Stevenson?!?!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Washington really sucks.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

an open 3...dagger.

-Mars

Not when you are shooting 20% for the season.

[Radiosparks]

Alright...lets close this game out.

Manuuuu!!!!!

[BonnerDynasty]

Wow. manu.

[spursrocksocks]

ginobiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Ball game

[Supergirl]

Manu hits the dagger. Nice.

[T Park]

and with that,

that will seal it.

31-16.

[ThomasGranger]

OK, Pop. Time for Elson to come in (I need the V-bookie!)

[ricketts]

he is the ultimate closer.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Nice fading j by Manu to cap the game

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Also, my point was he shot it with lots on the clock - in the last 2 minutes, up 4, you try to take time off the clock.

[T Park]

Not when you are shooting 20% for the season.

So.

You shoot well the night before.

Shoot well the next night.

So you stop shooting?

Genius :tu

[td4mvp21]

Manu hits the dagger. Nice.

Nice sig :smokin

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu comes through as usual.

Great D, especially in the 2nd half.

Good gut it out win! :tu

[T Park]

Also, my point was he shot it with lots on the clock - in the last 2 minutes, up 4, you try to take time off the clock.

Horry can shoot whatever shot he wants.

Hes earned that much.

Respect.....

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

He was wide open so he took the shot.

And I still think that early in the shot clock at the end of the game up 4 that's a bad decision.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

What a piece of shit team

[ricketts]

manu padding his stats with the free throws.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Horry can shoot whatever shot he wants.

Hes earned that much.

Respect.....

Um, no. Sure, he has respect, but that doesn't give him carte blanch to launch shit early in the clock a t the end of the game.

Anyway, his D was good, he made a 3, I hope he continues to improve.

[Radiosparks]

Horry with 9 pts tonight.

[T Park]

it might have been, but when he is on the floor and shooting well and he is wide open it's hard to pass up a open 3 pointer.

Plus hes Robert fucking Horry.

He makes that shot more often than not.

Tonight.

3-5

9 points.

All points late in the 3rd early in the 4th.

Spurs down 5, he comes in bags some shots, spurs go up 7.


Hes done though.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Horry and Manu lead +/- with +10.

[BonnerDynasty]

Fuck.

I think Bonner is getting traded.
















For Kobe.

[T Park]

Impossible.

Horry is washed up.

[mikejones99]

85 77 final

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

So Manu gets the last FG???

I win vBookie!

[T Park]

Well i got the Wizard's score right :lol

[Radiosparks]

Plus hes Robert fucking Horry.

He makes that shot more often than not.

Tonight.

3-5

9 points.

All points late in the 3rd early in the 4th.

Spurs down 5, he comes in bags some shots, spurs go up 7.


Hes done though.

You may be right. However, as long as we have him I hope he can provide some support down the stretch.

[ricketts]

Fuck.

I think Bonner is getting traded.





For Kobe.


:lol I'd still hate to see it happen

[mikejones99]

jesus when barry and tp come back, Spurs will be overloaded with quality

[T Park]

You may be right. However, as long as we have him I hope he can provide some support down the stretch.

I was being sarcastic.

I've been having to beat back the "Horry is done" crowd since early last season...

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Horry's our good luck charm; I don't understand the unbelievers

[spursrocksocks]

Fuck.

I think Bonner is getting traded.
















For Kobe.
better not, why didnt they play him I bet vbookie on him for last shot

[T Park]

jesus when barry and tp come back, Spurs will be overloaded with quality

Especially with how Vaughn and Stoudamire are playing.
The resurgence of Oberto.

[Radiosparks]

I was being sarcastic.

I've been having to beat back the "Horry is done" crowd since early last season...

Sorry man, my bad. I feel the same way.

[dbreiden83080]

Good win, well played 4th qtr we may be finally starting to come around a bit here. On to NY and smashing the Knicks.

[debo]

this game was another fine example of just how much elson blows

[td4mvp21]

Lakers lost tonight!

[ducks]

horry 9 points as many as horry

[loveforthegame]

Good to see the Spurs buckle down in the 4th and get the win.

[T Park]

horry 9 points as many as horry


Couldn't have said it better myself.

[ricketts]

horry 9 points as many as horry


well, yeah. Duh.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Oberto had a solid game 10 pts, 11 rebounds 2 assists, 1 Steal, 1 block 0 TO's

Duncan's back to his usual groundhog day self. Ho-Hum 23 points 9 rebounds, 4 assists off of 9 -16 shooting.

The rest of the team was pretty well balanced offensively,
with Manu playing facilitator, 9 pts, 10 assists, 6 rebounds, 1 TO in addition to 4 down with Duncan.

[spursrocksocks]

I hope dallas and NO lose tonight

[AFBlue]

this game was another fine example of just how much elson blows

I've actually come to appreciate him....

For his nice $3M expiring contract. :lol

[TampaDude]

Spurs by 8.

Told ya! :hat

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I hope dallas and NO lose tonight
Lakers lost..

that helps us a little bit in the Western standings.

[e20dylan]

woo good win especially with the lakers losing!

[mikejones99]

lakers n suns in west finals, dumbass

[spursrocksocks]

yeah im not sure if its better for NO or suns to win

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

yeah im not sure if its better for NO or suns to win
NO tonight...jsut because they're in our Division. Also Suns need to be on the top in the Pacific.

I don't know if vying for the spot to play the 8th,7th seed opponent really matters anymore this year. (by the looks of Win/Loss rate as of right now)

[Indazone]

I am so far suprised at the wins the Spurs are getting on this Rodeo Road Trip. The way they were playing I was predicting that they'd go 5-4 or something like that. Well it remains to be seen I guess. The Rodeo Road Trip isn't over.

[703 Spurz]

It sounds like there are lots of Spurs fans there.
The cheers for us are as loud as the cheers for the Wizards.

The game wasn't a sellout but there were definitely some Spurs fans there. Everytime I've been, including tonight, there's usually a good turnout for us.

[dbreiden83080]

Oberto had a solid game 10 pts, 11 rebounds 2 assists, 1 Steal, 1 block 0 TO's

Duncan's back to his usual groundhog day self. Ho-Hum 23 points 9 rebounds, 4 assists off of 9 -16 shooting.


I actually think Timmy has been the MVP of the league since he has come back from his injury. He put up 22 and 13 a game in Jan and is off to a great start in Feb as well.

[duncan228]

I actually think Timmy has been the MVP of the league since he has come back from his injury. He put up 22 and 13 a game in Jan and is off to a great start in Feb as well.

He's been great, except for turnovers in some of those games.

It's just that he's so quiet about it. I don't take my eyes off him and I can miss how efficient he is.

It's just another game for him. Excellence through most of it.

True about the TO, but some of those came in games where everyone else was just stinking up the joint so they were force feeding him the ball and he was getting double and triple teamed like crazy. Probably won't happen but i would love to see Timmy get one more league MVP before he is retired. In my mind he is the MVP every year.

[duncan228]

Probably won't happen but i would love to see Timmy get one more league MVP before he is retired. In my mind he is the MVP every year.

He is in my mind too, but those days are gone. I'm thrilled he got the back-to-back ones he did.
I also think he got robbed of a DPOY along the way, but those days are gone too.
I'd love to see him get the repeat, just for the critics.
I do think he'll get more rings, even if he doesn't get the repeat.
And I really want to see him get another Finals MVP.

If they make the finals again and play a worthy opponent he will get finals MVP again. I like Tony but he really lucked out on that one. Timmy was the man all playoffs long, playing great against the best teams and then Tony got Finals MVP against the worst team by far they played in the sweep.

[T Park]

If the Spurs WERE to make the Finals this year, wich would be amazing.

If they were to play Boston IMO, Duncan would become Finals MVP again. Just due to the matchups.

[whottt]

That's called turnabout being fair play...


IMO, DRob was the MVP of the team in 99. He got all the defensive shit work in every series plus he had to carry us against Portand(the toughest series), getting little or no credit for doing it. But Duncan was the guy getting all the shots, especially against the Knicks...and boom, he got the Finals MVP.

That Knicks frontline was nothing...Drob could have owned them as badly if not worse than Duncan did if we'd run the offense through him.

But that's the way it goes...and I'm sure that hit home with Duncan, and he knew exactly how Drob felt, when he watched Parker hoisting that trophy.



I don't like the Finals MVP award anyway...you hear all season long how it's a team game, it's about the team, there is no I in team...and then what do they do when it's all over? Single out an individual for what should be team achievement....and it's really impossible to say what swung the series...sometimes, it's a 40-20 game, but if that Robert Horry 3 doesn't go in at the buzzer, that 40-20 game doesn't mean jack....whether your name is Hakeem, or Shaq, or Duncan.

Only thing Duncan should worry about is getting #5 and sending Shaq into retirement. This IS the Duncan Era. Not Shaq Era.

Let Parker have MVP if he'll use it for motivation and do work..

No one other than BSPN gives a shit about Finals MVP. The RESPECT comes from the rings. Everyone knows this is Duncan's team. Period.

I don't remember every series that was played in 99 but Timmy certainly outplayed Robinson by the numbers. In the playoffs Timmy avg, 23.2 pts and 11.5 rebounds shooting 51%. D-Rob gave 15 and 10 on 48% and yes played great D as he always did but so did Duncan as they were truly the twin towers back then, people were scared to death to come into that lane. As far as the finals go, maybe Robinson would have had the same numbers as Duncan did but it really is irrelevant since Duncan was the better offensive player at that point, so of course it was going to run through him.

And if David had gotten the possessions Duncan had he would have been the leading scorer for us...


The toughest team we faced was Portland...and Drob was the leading scorer in that series....not Duncan.

Duncan scored 5 points in one of those games.


It's like Duncan pretty much got to be the glamour boy agianst the easy teams but the truly tough teams David was the one that carried the load...


Plus, he got the tough defensive assignment in every series...it was David guarding Shaq. not Duncan.

Duncan's not the defensive player David was. Never has been.


And David's reward from Spurs fans for doing the shit work and being unselfish is posts like yours above...which pretty much explains why most players are selfish about getting credit...and shots.

What the hell are you so DAMN bitter about?? the Spurs won the title, relax about D-Rob and his lack of credit. You want the cold hard facts, here it is. D-Rob never even got the Spurs to a NBA finals in a conference that had no dominant team to contend with before Duncan showed up. MJ and the Bulls were not in his way of leading the Spurs to the finals. Ask Ewing and the Knicks or Miller and the Pacers what that was like to deal with. I see years later so many fans like to overrate Duncan's teams and vastly underrate D-Rob's teams, so Robinson has an out for not getting it done in the playoffs. Yeah Duncan is not the defender Robinson is, maybe not but he is one of the best defenders ever and HE is main reason Robinson got any rings. He earned those finals MVP's and most of the credit PERIOD.

Cause you didn't proclaim David Robinson god of the world.
