I just know it, Pop. You gonna surprise us?
Should be a very entertaining up and down the court game though.
But we'll end up losing this one.
I'd rather RJ at the 4 than that 4-guard line-up Pop trotted out the other night with TP, Hill, Mason, Manu, and TD as the lone big....Quote:

Come on, about 2 hours before the game, I expect a trade headline anytime.
Tonight is about RJ. He needs to step it up tonight. I don't care about points.. i want to see intangibles or I won't be happy.... okay maybe if he goes for 30 =)
Isn't it a bitch when you know your own team so well you know when to bet against them?Quote:

I actually thought they would beat the Bulls last game, but for some odd reason, the Spurs were favored to win by 8.5 points when I placed the bet..so I had to bet on the Bulls with those odds, even though I hoped and believed the Spurs could beat an average team @ home..a 50$ bet got me 225$, too hard to pass up..Quote:

Pop comes out with a 4 guard line up to start just to mess with our minds. Book it!:lol
He does that, I am going to make them pay for my broken computer.Quote:

The last time the Spurs dropped 3 in a row at home was before Tim Duncan came out of college in the 1996-1997 season. The Spurs dropped 6 straight at home to end the 1997 season. Beat that. That was what I read before though. I am not sure whether this is right.Quote:

Just get a win, dammit. I'm getting sick of watching these Ls. I don't care if it's a blowout or a comeback by 40. I don't care if we squander a lead, or never even build one. Just take it one step at a time, and get back into the freaking Win column.
I miss the days when the League was full of pushovers.
Amen. :tuQuote:

2nd quarter comes, Pop puts in small ball. After a 6-0 run by the Hawks, Spurs call timeout. Pop then proceeds to continue with small ball until the 3rd quarter when the Spurs go down by 8. The momentum already shifted and then the Spurs will eventually get screwed.
come on spurs a good win for christ sake
sadly trueQuote:

Cool. So Pop is dissecting the team bit by bit by changing his starting lineup again. What an excellent idea.Quote:

This is the Spurs beat writer...
Just because he has no sources he's mad at yahoo report :lolQuote:
Jeff McDonald: It's about time on McDyess. Blair is much better suited to being a role player.
Quote:
Jeff McDonald: Here's what the Yahoo! report said, in a nutshell: "The Spurs have talked amongst themselves about maybe possibly hypothetically thinking about considering starting to really think about possibly putting together a deal for Amare."
Jeff McDonald: So, it could be right. I mean, I'm sure the Spurs have "considered" many things.
tinkering with the lineups again Pop!
I swear for a team that keeps claiming they are going in the right direction, there are so many lineup changes.
Cool, i cant stand manu + dice combo ...Quote:

I don't agree with the Dice move either. The guy has already said he's more comfortable coming off the bench, and as soon as Blair was moved into the starting rotation, the Spurs seemed to stop showing up with shit first quarters.
I guess we can only wait and see. I do like the Manu/Blair combo on the P&R, and the Manu/Dice combo seemed to have lost its mojo.
Didn't know they ever had mojo together. :lolQuote:

Dice starting? Wow, Pop is really brain-dead. Every time the spurs face an young, athletic team he will put his oldest guys in.
Hello, how about Ian??
LOL at the Spurs introduction. Am I supposed to trust our Hall of Fame coach?
Don't think we have much of a choice. :bangQuote:

Good follow by Dice. It is almost February, so he might just show up.
Spurs looking decent with two bigs on the floor.
Dice looking good. Hopefully it means his second half form is coming.
Just waiting for this lead to diminish...
RJ off to a good start. Looks good as long as he doesn't have to play PF.
Jefferson actually looks like a good player in every 1st quarter..it's usually the rest of the game where he completely disappears..
go spurs go
I like when Hill takes it to the basket, though he still needs to have alittle more confidence.
Hill guarding Johnson? Can this team ever not be either severely undersized or ill-equipt to guard the opposition's best player? Hill has no chance in this match-up, because Johnson can easily overpower him or just shoot up over the top.
How long until the Spurs are trailing? Over/under when Ginobili checks in.
Great start!
Lets hope so.Quote:

I love Hill's layups. He just throws it up and it goes in.
Great start. Pleeeease Pop go with two bigs for the rest of the game.
Kind of reminds me of Horry actually.Quote:

That's because he's playing his normal position in the 1st quarter.Quote:

If old school Spurs' defense is truly dead, there's no reason to play slow down, grind-it-out games anymore. We have the personnel this year to really push the ball and get as many easy baskets as possible.
Spurs have taken 13 shots, with only 2 of them coming outside the lane. Like all teams, shorter shots = better chance to win.
Bogans in
Timmy pullin' out all the stops.Quote:

Bogans 33333333333333333333333333333
holy shit dice is bolting down to the other side of the court.
Bogans hits his first shot in like 3 games. :lol
TP playing well
Me: Bogans gonna miss. I knew it. Oh!
hides in shame
Nice one Manu!
Amazing what happens with two bigs on the floor.
It seems like Bill Land and Sean Elliott don't like Zaza.
Blair needs to work on his passing.
Glad Joe Johnson left the Suns.
Excellent game so far, keep the intensity!
What a difference not shooting Js has on your offense!!!!!!!!!!!!
tony too fast
Me likey Spurs when they play conventional ball.
This is one of those nights when PF doesn't bother TP I suppose.
We're playing very well, great to see Spurs attacking rather than setting for Js
Good defense leads to good offense. 14 of 29 of the Spurs points came from fast breaks.
sigh, another fast start
I love this attacking style of basketball. Spurs have so many weapons when they play like this.
I think that Stoudemire trade rumor woke these guys up to play. If you dont show up, you will be part of the "trade."
Lookin good. One stretch where we couldn't get a basket but overall very happy.
Not that I'm complaining but anyone know why Dice got the start? I hope it continues.
Update: 19 shots, only 4 outside 7 feet (Parker & Hill missed 15-17 footers, RJ made 17 footer, and Bogans' 3-pointer).Quote:

We should start trade rumors more often, I guess.Quote:
