phew, what a game
Strange game. Was the defense really that good?
Ahh NO Ducks. I'm not even going to bother pointing out the fail in that post.Quote:

props to the team. but we can't do this shit again against the elites
pathetic assist to turnover ratio 1:1 / 28:28 lol
Yes, it was the Bobcats... but I liked the way we played and it looks like the guys are starting to gel. A long way to go, but GO SPURS GO!
That was one strange game. In the end, good win though. Love the focus the team showed in the first 6mins of the 4th. :tu
Thanks. This year I used a spreadsheet and projections and worked it until it was optimised. It is 33-20-1.Quote:

Notice there was not much Bonner out there, Not much Mason Jr. and No Finley. We are definitely getting some chemistry going out there.Quote:

just think 104 points and 28 turnovers
spurs beat bobcats by 19 which denver just lost to
I was about to post the same thing. All three are one-dimensional players that are mostly irrelevant to the success of the team. I'd be thrilled to see at least two of them go before the post-season.Quote:

it's a good position to be in..they're around 10 mil$ in expirings together IIRC, so acquiring another big man could be possible..Quote:

Spurs extend Charlotte’s road woes in 104-85 win
By Paul J. Weber
The Charlotte Bobcats still can’t find a way to win on the road, and the San Antonio Spurs are still solid at home.
Now the road beckons for the Spurs—and they’re not much better out there than Charlotte.
Manu Ginobili scored 22 points and San Antonio beat the Bobcats 104-85 on Friday night to give the Spurs the momentum of consecutive wins before starting a three-game West Coast swing on Sunday that will be their longest road trip yet.
“We only have ourselves to deal with,” on the road Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “There is no family or friends around, so we’re stuck with each other.”
Stephen Jackson had 23 points for the Bobcats, who fell to 1-9 on the road and won’t get any breaks in Dallas on Saturday night against the Mavericks—a team the Bobcats have never beaten.
The Spurs, meanwhile, have gotten 10 of their 11 wins this season at home but are just 1-5 on the road. Then there’s this: the Spurs have already played 14 home games, and will only play 12 after Feb. 1 for the stretch run.
San Antonio will play the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday before going to Phoenix and Golden State.
“If we come back here and build on that, we’ll feel good about ourselves,” said Tim Duncan, who scored 17 points. “Those are some very winnable games for us.”
This was nearly a winnable game for Charlotte, too. The Bobcats nearly rallied from a 22-point deficit in the third quarter, making road win No. 2 look possible for a moment.
The Spurs led 65-43 two minutes into the second half when Charlotte began to push. Gerald Wallace scored 12 of his 18 points in the third, the league’s best defense held San Antonio to five field goals in the quarter and the Bobcats went on a 28-7 run.
But trailing 72-71 to start the fourth was as close as Charlotte would get. The Bobcats crumbled again quickly, letting San Antonio shoot 71 percent in the fourth while being outscored 32-14.
“We didn’t get to the free-throw line and we took some bad shots,” Charlotte coach Larry Brown said. “We had a great comeback and we did some great things. We also did some unfortunate things.”
It was not the prettiest game: the Spurs and Bobcats combined for 49 personal fouls and 47 turnovers, including a season-high 28 for San Antonio.
But the Spurs nonetheless continued their dominance over Charlotte, improving to 10-1 in the all-time series. Dallas is the only team in the NBA that Charlotte has never beaten.
Boris Diaw scored 10 and was Charlotte’s only other player in double figures.
Ginobili scored 20 points in the first half, including four 3-pointers, then made just one shot the rest of the game. He finished 7 of 12 from the floor.
Notes: Charlotte F Derrick Brown crumbled to the floor getting walloped by the giant arm of Spurs C Theo Ratliff beneath the basket in the third. Brown pump faked and caught Ratliff in mid-air, and Ratliff was issued a flagrant foul. Brown stayed in the game … Spurs coach Gregg Popovich needs three wins for 700 career victories.
Yep. As I have kind of been saying, we don't need any of those players. Why couldn't they have been offered in a trade to Goldenstate though?Quote:

Another big?!?? What minutes would this big get?
More spurstalk know it all genius....
We still clearly need a mobile big..whether we get one is a different question, but we clearly still need one..
Just got done watching it...how the hell do we hold the Bobcats to 85 points while committing 28 turnovers? lmao.
This team is getting closer. I loved how they shook off the bad 3rd quarter to refocus and lock them down for the win...and a blowout win at that. I was expecting the game to stay much closer.
We are seeing flashes of what this team can be. Let's keep sanding down them rough edges....
Good game. Larry Brown always puts interesting challenges out there. This Bobcats team will win a bunch of games if they listen to their coach. He started to soft double Manu in the second half after getting burned in the first. He threw a full court press for stretches that really got us confused out there. Obviously, with all the new guys, it's hard to figure out where we're going to get our shot out when a play breaks.
This Spurs team is starting to resemble the 2003 team, that was also incredibly talented, and use to blow 20 point leads incredibly, only to end up winning the games with solid defense at the end.
Just imagine what this would have been if we only turned it over half the time!
What an awful poster. I don't want to say anymore so I will leave it at that.Quote:

Solid win but we still have A LOT of work to do.
