[Dre_7]

[ducks]

Priz 6-6, but we dont need Rasho right?


duncan should stuff the shit out of him

[What the...]

They have a tendency to play the teams like the Jazz and Trailblazers as if they already won the game and playing is just a formality. Why they do this time and time again, I'll never know. Why they never stop themselves from doing it, I don't know. Right now they are playing crappy defense, if you can call it defense, and less than mediocre offense. Now their offense will come and go and we all know that's not their game, but when they don't put up the strong defensive effort...even the crappiest teams have a great chance to not only beat but pummel the Spurs. I know they can't win them all as no team can. But you'd expect a team with the strengths the Spurs possess to at least win the games they should. Phoenix and Sacramento demanded they play full tilt and they responded as such. Why then do they play like utter crap against a team like the Trailblazers then?

[Dre_7]

We will win this game!

[Solid D]

That was a great trap by Manu and Malik. Devin got the benefit of the steal, though for being nearby.

Miles misses long wing jumper, Manu reb.

Tim back in. Wilks to Tim quick turn and drive, shot no good but fouled.

2 FTs lined-in by Tim 30-32.

[T Park]

back to back, little tired maybe??

Folks forget, this team has played the most games of any team by about 2 or 3 games easily.

They prob wont be able to consistently bring it every night till about April.

[ducks]

dude we already have 2 threads on this
one is pinned to the top

[Jdspur20]

why is wilks playing so early??? sorry for asking i don't get spurs games where i live.

[Dre_7]

[ChumpDumper]

Wow, it's impressive how good a team's D can be when they have two shotblockers in the paint.

[What the...]

The Spurs live and die by their defense. They might not score a million, but they know how to stop the other team from scoring. I'm not seeing that at all tonight. Without defense the Spurs are nothing. Tonight, so far, they have nothing. And they're probably going to lose because of it.

[Solid D]

Miles posts up Barry, no. off tap out by Joe P.

Jumper no good by Miles.

Tim FT line jumper around the rim and out.

Timeout 40-39.

[usckk]

Me too.

[usckk]

Watch Ginobili get hot.

[ChumpDumper]

Watch Ginobili get blocked.

Missed long jumper by Portland, Tim reb.

TP runs clock down, to Barrry back to Manu for 3!!!!!!!! at buzzer :elephant

[What the...]

No. If anything I'm disgruntled Spurs fan, tired of the Spurs going into game flat and looking like they're a sub .500 team. The Spurs should be picking these guys out of their teeth by now.

[usckk]

Yay!

[ChumpDumper]

Spurs very lucky to have the lead.

Derek Anderson playing jenga on a commercial, out with "dental problems."

[usckk]

[Duncanoypi]

its fun to be a spurs fan!...down by 14..all of a sudden up by1...

[smeagol]

Watch Manu hit a three to give the Spurs a one point lead at halftime.

[usckk]

I wonder why Wilks played?

[usckk]

Want Marks though!!

[usckk]

If this was last years, the Spurs would be down by 10.

[Solid D]

For the benefit of those who can't see the game and aren't sure about the basketball terms:

Corner = at the arc in the corner.
Wing = at or near the arc at 45 degree angle from basket on either side
Top = in the middle of the court above or at the top of the key.
FT Line extended = spot just to the right or left of the free throw line, imaginary line extending out toward each wing.
Right or Left = position on the offensive team's end as viewed looking from the half court-in facing the basket.

[Dre_7]

I wonder why Wilks played?

Fatigue to ther other pts perhaps? Not sure though, sounds like he is doin well though. Thats good.

[Solid D]

Halftime stats Spurs outreb. Blazers 19-17.
Spurs 46% FG
Blazers 51% FG

Sean Elliott points out that Beno was in for like 30 seconds ( I think it was longer) and made a mistake, Pop sent a message by jerking Beno out and putting Wilks in there.

[ChumpDumper]

Yep, the rookie hook.

[Kori Ellis]

I wish that Land and Elliott could figure out the difference between Beno and Barry. When Telfair went down, they kept repeating "I don't think Barry touched him."

Umm... me either, Barry was sitting on the bench.

They don't look THAT much alike that the home announcers can't tell the difference. They aren't identical twins or anything.

[Solid D]

TP fouled. 2 FTs good 69-71.

[Supergirl]

Spurs trail 84-86 3:44 remaining

[Supergirl]

actually, considering how tired and bad the're playing, the fact that portland can't put this away and THE SPURS STILL MIGHT WIN is pretty pathetic, from Portland's standpoint. It's their HC, for pete's sake.

teams down on players in the middle of a big losing streak are esp dangerous - remember the game in Utah...

[indianspur]

somebody grab a rebound

[ChumpDumper]

well lets stop the season now then since its a futile season.Let us acknowledge the problems we know we have.

[Solid D]

Shot by Port no good, reb. Joe P. Fouled. 1 of 2 FTs good by Joe.

Gino at left wing, drives hard and is fouled by Patterson hard.
2 FTs by Gino good 99-102 38 sec left

[ducks]

:46.9 SA - Personal foul on B. Barry
:46.9 POR - J. Przybilla offensive rebound
:48.9 POR - R. Patterson misses shot
1:15 POR - R. Patterson offensive reboun


that is the problem

spurs had to get a rebound


and failed

[T Park]

he could have gotten a t early
get the spurs to play d
he is the coach
what did he do at halftime?

If he wouldve gotten a T that wouldve given them a point, so thats a bad thing apparently.

He can only do so much.

Hes run plays for Manu Parker and everyone, but the D aint there. THey want to score but not play D.

same ole same ole.

[SequSpur]

Hey

[Solid D]

Damon def by TP, to Miles, back out to Damon, hesitates then shoots rt wing 3!!!!!!

Damon taking a victory lap around the floor. Damon actually limping and wincing around the floor.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Give it up guys, THEY did a long time ago!

[SequSpur]

Hey....

[T Park]

[QUOTE]Let us acknowledge the problems we know we have[QUOTE]

No one out there to fix the problem chump.

Give up.

Season Over.

[SequSpur]

Hey.

[indianspur]

stoudemire 3. GAME OVER

[ChumpDumper]

Stoudamire gets injured a couple minutes too late. Maybe we could've beaten them with 4 of their top 5 injured.

[Jdspur20]

update solidD??? if ya could, thanks.

[ducks]

hey maybe the spurs need woods to guard those long threes

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Not the season, but this game

[Solid D]

99-105 with 21.4 left

Malik at left wing throws ball out of bounds to a covered Barry. :( Bad TO coming out of the timeout huddle.

[Tek_XX]

TRADE MALIK ROSE i'm tired of his sorry ass

[ChumpDumper]

No one out there to fix the problem chump.For straight matchups, Linton could be a solution; but it's getting late. Hyperbole sure won't solve the problem.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Rose with a rookie mistake, too bad he's been on the Spurs seven years.


yeah, because in the playoffs, your gonna interact with a team that has a Darius Miles.

Rashard Lewis
Shawn Marion
Tracy McGrady
if we get there, someone's gotta guard Wade.

[T Park]

Malik at left wing throws

Not the best player to have throwing inbounds passes.

[Jdspur20]

crap

[indianspur]

whats with malik rose turning the ball over after a time out. some innate property or what??

[SequSpur]

Malik Rose, For The Last Time, Should Never Have The Responsibility Of Having The Ball In The Fourth Quarter. Why In The Hell Is He Even A Spur? Dude Has No Game, Is A Waste Of A Paycheck, And Has The Brains Of A Pea.

I Blame Pop.

No Rebounds, No Interior Defense.... No Marks, No Center, No Massenburg.

Nice.

[ducks]

99-105 with 21.4 left

marks could have played better then rose down the streach today

rose had 2 very bad t.o's
and failed to get rebound

[boutons]

Blazers shooting 56%, they were due to have game at level they probably won't repeat this year.

gawdammit

[T Park]

TRADE MALIK ROSE

Yup, trade the only guy that busted his ass out there tonight.

Makes sense.

[ducks]

Not the best player to have throwing inbounds passes.


man tpark might be just saying pop made a mistake

[Solid D]

Devin has that look on his face like, oh well.

Damon gets inbounds and is immediately fouled. 2 FTs swished 99-107 :17.5

Timeout Spurs

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Just because you bust your ass doesn't mean you're entitled to make stupid ass plays like the one he did make.

[T Park]

I Blame Pop.

No Rebounds, No Interior Defense.... No Marks, No Center, No Massenburg.

Nice


Of course you do.


Massenburg, and Marks are not gonna give interior defense genius.

[indianspur]

malik usually sucks in crunch time.....it is a fact!

[ChumpDumper]

Well, the Spurs end another team's streak.

Congrats.

[T Park]

Just because you bust your ass doesn't mean you're entitled to make stupid ass plays like the one he did make

nope.

Didnt say it did.


But it isnt Malik's fault the TEAM lost this game.

[Solid D]

Devin dribbles like he has all day, passes to Tim for 3 off back of rim. reb. Portland,
Ballgame.

That's it. Bad effort from start to finish by the Spurs. The mismatch and lack of a good solution by Pop for Miles just made things worse. Damon was lights out and Joe P. played the game of his life with Rasho out and Mass and Malik no match for him in height or length.

[Tek_XX]

The whole Spurs team is turning into Tony Parker. Ya have an excellent game and follow it up with the crappy game.

[ducks]

Was Marks Hurt?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????

[Solid D]

Close all roads to the bridges and remove the shower rods.

[ducks]

The whole Spurs team is turning into Tony Parker. Ya have an excellent game and follow it up with the crappy game.


tp has been carring this team

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Christ Tpark, you're displaying the problem a lot of us have with you on this thread. You go Ghostal over anything negative.

No one blamed the loss on Rose tonight, just said he made a stupid, idiotic pass late, and you come on here posting like someone kicked your damn dog.

[indianspur]

not to forget.....pheonix is right up our ass for the top spot.........

[milkyway21]

Damon def by TP, to Miles, back out to Damon, hesitates then shoots rt wing 3!!!!!!

Damon taking a victory lap around the flooryeah! beating the spurs is like winning the NBA title! :lol

[indianspur]

not to forget.....pheonix is right up our ass for the top spot.........and if its any consolation....looks like dallas will loose to clips as well

[boutons]

It's pretty hard to stop a team that's out-shooting you by 12 percentage points 56% to 44%.

Spurs -4 RBs, as usual in losses.

why didn't Tony M play more for RBs? a little inside scoring? weird.

[boutons]

Tim missed FTs in the crunch, and forced up a really bad shot in crunch.

[Solid D]

The Blazers really wanted this game and they had great effort, great spacing, great movement without the ball, great execution, and great shooting.

The Spurs as a group had poor effort, poor anticipation of cutters and they were a step or two late almost every trip. Malik brought effort, but little else.

There was a major size problem at the 3 frontcourt spots. Patterson was an animal on the ball and on the glass.

[Solid D]

Tim missed FTs in the crunch, and forced up a really bad shot in crunch.

True, but over the course of the whole game the Spurs were good from the line. 23-28. They were perfect the first 3 quarters. When you miss FTs and wither in the 4th in the 2nd game of a back to back, you know it's the legs, whether they make millions and are professionals...or not.'

The Blazers just out-efforted and out-executed the Spurs ALL GAME.

[SequSpur]

They heard Lenny Wilkens was taking over if they lost another game.

[milkyway21]

I was right on this one, this team is so MEAN the spurs cannot underestimate them...

that was a good game. glad we lost to blazers not to sac, lakers, minny.. :cry

[MarkyMark]

We lost this game in the beginning when they utilized Duncan's inability to guard a screen and role. They got some easy baskets early in the first that set the tempo of the game.

[milkyway21]

who are we going to trade this time? :lol

[Solid D]

Spurs did come back and took the lead at the half and were outrebounding the Blazers.

The Spurs couldn't match them in any phase in the 2nd half. Outrebounded, outscored, overmatched in the frontcourt. Miles was murder on both ends and he even took out Horry's knee on a steal attempt.

[Solid D]

Well, there was some good news out of the West. The Clipps beat the Mavericks.

[boutons]

I noted that Tony looked quite bouncy and energetic, really probing the defense, trying to and often succeeding in driving, had a good game face on, esp compared to the PHX and SAC games.

What's really worrying again, is that the Spurs aren't doing well on the boards, vs earlier in the season. Tim gets his usually, but everybody else seems to be slacking off.
