Spurs defensive ace Bruce Bowen said he had a plan for dealing with former teammate Hedo Turkoglu, now with the Magic and one of the Eastern Conference's most dangerous shooters.

"I need to take him out to dinner and get him full, so he'll have a heavy stomach on Tuesday night," Bowen said. "I'm really happy what Hedo has done. He's somebody I'm close to in this league.

Hopefully Bowen will be "close" to Hedo tonight. All night. Right in his chops.

Honestly, I think the Magic are a team we match up well against. I'm pretty confident we'll score an impressive victory tonight.

I am a huge Spurs fan in Orlando and will not be able to watch the game here in our market. They are still not showing many of the games due to a bright house/fsn dispute. This will be the first time in 5 years I have not gone to the game when the spurs are in town. The crazy thing is that Orlando fans do not even seam that upset that they can't watch games. We didn't buy tickects this due to a new work schedule for my husband. I will be listening on am radio and checking out the thread.

GO SPURS!

The below site indicates that this game will be shown on NBATV tonight. But I just checked my listings, and another game will be shown. Also, this game is available on the league pass...So I don't get it...Do they just change their minds about which games to show on the television? This is the second or third time that a Spurs game is supposed to be shown on NBATV, then changed to the LP.

Can Duncan stop Howard?

Howard averages more points, more rebounds, more blocks, and has a higher FG% than Duncan.

And the media says Howard is more 'athletic'.

Uh-oh - TP is shooting with his OLD, pre-Engelland form the last two games... that means his jumper will be unreliable.

I wonder why he occasionally slips into the old form? It shouldn't be tiredness today...

Vaughn's jumper looks solid the last few games. The energy, hustle, and defense is there too.

1Parker1
03-25-2008, 06:39 PM
29-28 Magic.

Ginobili with a quiet 2 points. Duncan with a quick 8 points, but got in foul trouble halfway through the quarter. Parker's shot is still off and I believe he has just 4 points. Finley with a quick 7 points. According to the announcers Finley is somewhat of a "Magic killer" he's averaging 17 ppg and shooting 40% from 3's in his career against the Magic.

Both teams are shooting 50%+ with both teams with the same type of game plan to start; dumping the ball into their Big Man (Duncan and Howard respectively) and letting them create or score.

mystargtr34
03-25-2008, 06:40 PM
The Orlando announcers said it was a terrible call on Duncan. They admitted it, and said he was robbed.

Dwight Howard tried to pin Duncan off under the basket and Duncan was fighting and they took literally 5 seconds to get him the ball and then Duncan was forced to foul....ridiculous. And Pop got T'd up

Oberto and KT have also played better.

D Howard is strong.... he doesnt look like he has a wide base... well he doesnt... hes built like a bee..... skinny waist then he just explodes above the stomach..

But he is getting good position against Tim... and keeping Timmy off the block.... ive never seen anyone really physically manouvre Duncan beside Shaq.

Dooling said the Spurs are a dynasty, someone should start a thread saying he'd fit good with the Spurs.

Actually, Dooling said "almost a dynasty", sounds like a veiled dig on the Spurs to me.

Turned out to be short. A clip of Duncan talking and highlights from his career. Basically Duncan was saying that Basketball is his life and that he only has a couple more years left to do this so he wants to continue winning and competing hard. He says he loves the competition, the grind and unpredictably of the NBA, etc. Said he's been blessed to be able to play this game and have 4 championships.

I dunno, the Spurs are as close to being a Dynasty as you can get without repeating...he could have just left out the "almost" part of it. But you're right, he did say the Magic want to be where the Spurs are. I'm probably reading too much into it :smokin

Finley makes a dumb foul on a 3 point attempt. On the offensive end, Spurs are forcefeeding to Duncan despite the fact that the Magic are doing a good job fronting him and denying him the ball. Instead of passing it around and then passing it the SPurs, they're trying to dump it into him and force the issue forcing TO's.
