Last game of the preseason. WOO HOO!
About time! :spin
kick ass
The neverending preseason finally comes to a close. :)
Final game for all the bench warmers.
Amen!
Go Spurs!!!
I don't know why freakin comcast(local) can't televise this game. Assholes....
I would assume, everyone is playing, and this will resemble as much as a PS game will, a regular season game. Duncan getting 30 mins, Ginobili 28 Parker 32.
Barry Van Exel and Finley and Oberto, and that would be it.
Should be interesting.
damnit. here in the phils, theyre broadcasting the pistons vs mavs match.
Nazr still out. Bruce Bowen's grandmother passed away so Bruce is out tonight.
Why is Nazr still out? Did he retire?
Barry is feeling it tonight.
Philly, 28-23 after 1st quarter.
Steven Hunter is sure as hell feeling it tonight.
NBA Audio League Pass is saying "the game you are tuning into has not yet started" over and over. I guess I'll save my 20 bucks on that POS.
Sixers shoot 10-12 on FTs in the 1st qtr. That's too many FTs for 1 qtr.
The Spurs aren't very good defensively without Bruce.
3 fouls on Oberto in just a little over 1 quarter.
It isn't the first time either. That has happened to me 3 or 4 times this preseason.Quote:

Hope Bruce comes back soon, condolances to his GMa.
WOAI is a 50,000 WATT station so for those of you living in the US, you might be able to pick up WOAI on 1200 AM. Car radios are sometimes better (antenna).
I've picked it up in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Tennessee and maybe a few other places I can't remember right now.
Refs are calling lots of fouls. Spurs back with the lead with Timmy, Rasho, Finley, Barry and TP. It sounds like the Sixers are doubling with Kevin Ollie digging on Tim.
Barry is scoring well tonight.
On a good night I can get it in the car, but I'm not going to sit in the car to listen to a preseason game.Quote:

Damn 10 TOs in the 1st half, just like last game against the Pacers, too many fucking turnovers.
He did good against the Spurs when he played for Suns last year.Quote:

Brent doing his best shooting to keep his minutes up, Michael's down. Go Brent!
Not 18 points good.Quote:

Well, the big difference is that he's getting more minutes.Quote:

Rasho just got his 10th rebound. He's hit a couple of nice 18-20 footers too.
NBA audio is now working. um, yay.
Rasho and Brent hustling their way up the rotation, go boys.
the depth on our team is .....AWESOME
i have waited all my life for a team like this
Brent sounds like he's gotten totally comfortable and confident. I guess he wanted the call to start tonight rather than Michael. Brent has 6/7 FGs, and 4/5 3Gs
Robert having trouble finding iron, trouble finding the backboard.
I like how competitive the Sixers are tonight even without Iverson. Can you believe how many experts think they can't make the playoffs?
Spurs just can't detach, in spite of out-shooting 6ers by 10% FG%, 55% - 44%
Brent's having a huge game.
Sixers are forcing turnovers (14) and they have the rebounding edge. Otherwise this match would have been over.Quote:

Spurs 18 TOs, careless
Fabricio klutzin tonight, fouls out.
Webber has 21 points and 12 rebounds. Damn I tell you, this guy is not over the hill just yet.
Brent Barry is just insane tonight. LOL.
Damn missed ft's.
TP shooting FT with 10 secs left. Is he clutch?
no! misses first
no! misses second, Tony chokes!!
6ers ball, -1 pts, 9 secs left.
Tim gets Webbers missed hook and is fouled.
Tim makes both FTs, Spurs +3.
Timeout 6ers.
Ashton will probably try a 3G.
It sounded like a great game, didn't it?
Spurs lose 4th qtr, 22 -26, but win 101 - 98.
Spurs defense sucks.
October sucks. October is dead, long live November.
Duncan (38) 8-15, 10-15, 26pts, 12rbs, 3as, 7tos, 1stl, 4blks
Barry (33) 8-9, 5-6, 21pts, 5rbs, 6as, 1stl
Parker (31) 10-17, 0-1, 3-5, 23pts, 3rbs, 4as, 3tos, 2stls
Finley (33) 5-9, 2-3, 12pts, 4rbs, 3as, 2tos, 2stls
we won yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:elephant :elephant :elephant
Timmy should keep his :fro
yay we win!
3 Spurs with 20+ PTs
2 Spurs with 10+ RBs
Looking better, but haven't seen ANY defense, yet.
Maybe that's the effort Pop is pining after?
Did Michael Finley start tonight?
yes, Michael started, but Brent had the much superior game, and played more minutes.
Yeah, I saw Brent had a good game but what about Bowen?Quote:

Ok. Thanks. I was wondering why he didn't get any other stats.Quote:

Pretty good :)
Duncan is always be Duncan.
but, tonight the ball belongs to Brent Barry. Wow:wow if he continues to do what he did tonight then this team is even more SCARY.
he's got the confidence to shoot I didn't see in him since he signed with Spurs last yr.
He played differently...
--------------------------------------------------------------Quote:
Brent Barry came off the bench to score 21 points for the Spurs. Barry was 8 of 9 from the field including 5 of 6 from 3-point range. He also turned in a team-high six assists and five rebounds :tu. Barry is in his second season with the Spurs.
"I'm a lot less stressed out (compared to the beginning of last year)," Barry said. "I'm a lot more calm going into the year."
Barry first entered the game midway through first quarter with the Spurs trailing by eight points. He scored 10 points in just over five minutes as the Spurs moved back in front 23-22. He started the run by hitting a jump shot followed by a 3-pointer on back-to-back possessions.
Popovich credited Barry for solid defense and playing well offensively with Finley when they were on the floor at the same time. Popovich also said he was pleased with Tony Parker's defense and Nesterovich's performance.
Tim Duncan led the Spurs with 26 points and 12 rebounds. Parker had 23 points and four assists.
Rasho Nesterovic continued to start in place of Mohammed. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said he expects Nesterovic to start in next week's games :angel since Mohammed has played in only three of eight preseason games.
Michael Finley started in place of Bowen. Finley, the longtime Dallas Mavericks star in his first season with the Spurs, had 12 points, four rebounds and three assists.
Boy, you talk about sounding weird.
"Michael Finley starting in place of Bruce Bowen"
Tell me that doesn't sound weird.
Fate has an interesting sense of humor....Quote:

The 76ers weren't able to regain the lead after that although they tied it a couple of times. Barry had a 3-pointer to break a tie and Timmy had a nice "and-1".
What you see in all this is the Spurs are playing some combinations you haven't seen much of in pre-season in the 4th quarter.
