Game Blog: 12/23/08 - Spurs vs. Timberwolves

[crc21209]

This from ESPN's recap of tonight's game:

Spurs guard Manu Ginobili, who missed the first 12 games of the season because of left ankle surgery, limped slightly to the sideline with about four minutes left. But he returned less than two minutes later and played until 15 seconds remained in the game.

Wouldn't it be ing awesome if Duncan and Jefferson were our starting front line.

Ya, when Danny Ainge comes knocking on the door, and starts talking with the front office before the 2007-08 season and asks for Ginobili (instead of Ray Allen, we ask for Al Jefferson, this is something that could have happened.

so its justify the fact why ray allen's number is 20, and that's intended for ginobili? btw...i hope manu is ok or else plenty will get anginas for sure...lol

Damn highlights didn't show Hills' dunk.

NOBODY did. Fox, espn, espn.com, nba.com. , the NBA.com highlights, true to form, craps out in the middle for fear they actually show something "exciting" from the Spurs.

Damn highlights didn't show Hills' dunk.

Go to Spurs.com postgame video.

They have the dunk. It's the last thing of the video

And it wasn't worth the hype.

[T Park]

So, T Park, you think Finley should be the first option during the 4th Q do you? Because that's what I'm talking about. They weren't kickout 3s, or shots with the clock running down, they were bad decisions.

Finley has a role and he should stick to it.

Alot of his shots where against the shot clock.

A couple were wide open shots within the offense.

So now we should have shooters passing up wide open shots cause you don't like them? Not sound offensive strategy.

[T Park]

And it wasn't worth the hype.

Yeah it was a dunk thanks to Ginobili making a great defensive play and pass.

The dunk was ok.

Dunks are overrated.

[mystargtr34]

Its not about dunking for the sake of dunking. Its about being able to get up and finish over long defenders in traffic and draw fouls. Something this Spurs team seriously lacks.
