Spurs 97 - Bobcats 92
Should be an easy win for the spurs, although bobcats have had some luck with contending teams for some reason lol
:flag: :flag: :flag:
jax going to win this for the cats
The Cats are a dangerous team, the Spurs should be careful. They have Tyson Chandler to guard Tim Duncan, and no one can seem to handle Boris Diaw on our team (let's hope Pop doesn't put Finley on him).
And who's going to stop Gerald Wallace. If we can limit Wallace's productivity, we have a great chance of winning.
I expect this to be an ugly game. Bobcats have been playing solid defense, and so far that's made our offense looks pretty damn inneffective at times.
It's one thing to put up 120 against the Kings. Let's see if we can get into a groove against a team that's actually attempting to stop such a thing.
chandler always plays good D on duncan
Looking forward to this one. The 'Cats have been playing well as of late and I want to see how this team is progressing. Will we see more improvement or will they take a step back as they have done at times this season. I want to see if TP continues to get RJ involved early on rather than looking for his shot first. Manu still needs time to get into his groove. And how is our D going tto stand up to Wallace, SJax and Co.?
Still a Work In Progress. Hopefully another step forward for the Spurs tonight.
:flag:
Real battle of note for the ST crowd...Jax vs. RJ. Expect a lot of woulda-coulda-shoulda threads after this one.
That said, I think RJ throws in another 20+. Spurs by 7.
Matt Bonner is getting ready for that shit !

What's the over/under on threads made during/after the game about how great Stephen Jackson is?
I'll say 12.
Defence!
This should be a very tough match up for the Spurs. Spurs have to find a way to keep Wallace off of the boards and they have to force this Bobcat team into shooting a lot of jumpers.
Boris Diaw is a guy who always gives the Spurs trouble. It will be very interesting to see who starts out on Jax/Wallace/Boris. That is a difficult match up for the Spurs. Spurs, if they take care of and move the ball, should get good looks inside and out. Spurs will get into to a lot of trouble if the ball sticks and they try and force things on the perimeter. The Cats perimeter defense is pretty solid.
if the Spurs lose and Jackson has a big game, there's going to be the biggest meltdown we've seen in a long time..even for ST..
Go Spurs Go!!!!!!!!!!!
ugh the bobcats :bang
revenge for the West!
Who cares about Jax? If the Cats win, I am starting a Gerald Wallace thread instead. Jax is not the best player on the Cats, Crash is.
i was watching the bogans interview, and noticed RJ was missing FTs like crazy lol anywayz i am out for now see you guys in an 1 hour !!! :)
i am now convinced that you have watched very few games with the 2; duncan has always owned chandler when healthy. the only reason timmy's scoring average was low vs. NO 2008 is due to illness + NO double-teaming the crap out of him, so he always had to pass the ball.
even NO former coach said chandler's D sucked on timmy, which i'm sure was part of the reason for shipping him to the bobcats.
hi guys !!! :flag::flag::flag:
The starting lineup looks to have been decided. Now, the minutes each player plays is another concern.
so change at starting sg yet actually looing forward to the spurs whooping some ass
diaw is also a spur killa
Ugh. I got to watch the DVR when I get back from the wife's christmas party later tonight.
Go Spurs!
letz do this
I need some help. Don't want to watch the game midway after the 1st half.
Lets go, Allen Iverson!
im envisioning a close one tonight... gerald wallace plus jax will be a handsfull.. plus Chandler and Diaw¿ our only advantage is at PG...
No TV coverage?
Yes rj
Nice, Richard drops his first shot
Jefferson's first shot was perfect.
gonna be a good test for RJ guarding GW
Good to see them running plays for RJ early.
Nice fadeaway from DICE
great move Dice
sweet fade away by #34
I don't want to watch Rockets-Philly. Someone help?
Late

"ball don't lie" :lol
Those gray Bobcats jerseys are tight.
damn tony calm down lol
Come on Tp.... Bad pass
TP c'mon that was horrible
That would have been a nice dunk by Tim.
Gotta finish those. RJ has been pretty bad with those reverse lay-ups
nice d timmy
Can I ask for a favor?
RJ and TD missed those easy ones
wow rj missed the jam
LOL @ Chandler
lol missed dunk
bogans with the lay in
refs have been very poor so far, primarily against us..
Two blown dunks!? WTF?
And TP sure is throwing a lot of passes too high so far this year.
duncan playing good interior d so far... his defense is what keeps us alive on that end.
Great break from Jefferson and Bogans!
Anyone has a PM to spare?
It looks like it's going to be a defense battle
jax for 33333333333
diaw sticks the jumper
Rj 3333333333333333
2 on Chandler
nazr is back
ROFL Dice
Easy dunk for Dice.
woohoo
damn tonys missed a couple of gimmes
Dice 22222222222
TP suckin ass so far.
dyess is ballin
Bobcats have alot of former Spurs/Spurs killers.
Dice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn, I haven't seen Tony this bad at finishing at the rim since his rookie year. Fuck France and its national team. :pctoss
manu!!!!!!!!!!!
fck
That was a terrible play.
Nice move Timmy!
nice foot work timmy
Take Nazr to school, Tim!
It's nice to see McDyess and Jefferson playing big parts of our offense early into the game, and relatively early into the season too. McDyess has a great feel of where to be on the court.
Attack Manu attack :D
No idea why Duncan doesn't fake more often, his footwork is obviously up there with the best of them..
Tony doesn't pass to either open guy in a 3-on-1 fast break and almost travels while missing a lay up. Moral of this story: Tony Parker is a selfish ASS.
There Ducks, you like when people do that?
dammit rj
2 on RJ
Tim should use the step-through more often.
Man what the fuck RJ
