Game Blog: Spurs vs. 76ers - 1.16.2009

[kace]

The shots itself was a gimme. The post up was not and is usually gonna end in a miss when it's against someone who's bigger than him.

OK, we know. tony is a ballhogger, he's not clutch, he makes bad decisions .........

now, can you just STFU please ?

76ers up 10

Spurs playing TERRIBLE

[JohnnySixString]

This time the Spurs are playing below a tier team's level.

[timtonymanu]

i knew that would happen. like that happens to us alot.

[mattyc]

Ouch.

[DPG21920]

One word: uninspired.

[loveforthegame]

Spurs have some work to do. Might want to start now.

I'm sorry your panties are in a bunch. Are you saying you wanna see Tony post up Miller?

[Spurs Brazil]

We were up until TD went to the bench and then 76ers on a 17-5 run

[mVp]

WTF is Tony doing out there? geez...

[tp2021]

It's Miller time.

[DPG21920]

No energy at all, this needs to pick up or this athletic team will punch the spurs square in the mouth.

Get Hill in there Pop. Parker is going through a bad patch. No D and uncharacteristic turnovers.

BTW why is Manu not getting any touches.

[howbouthemspurs]

whats up with the D?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sure, he got past him, but 9 times out of 10 you shouldn't post a bigger, stronger player because they will own your arse. You take a bigger guy outside and drive on him.

The shots itself was a gimme. The post up was not and is usually gonna end in a miss when it's against someone who's bigger than him.

I already said that, BTW.

And I maintain that the shot was not a gimme - when you've used all your strength, balance and body control just to get to the rim like that, the shot is much more difficult than it looks. If you've played much in the post, and I've been a back-to-the-basket guy my whole life, you know what I mean.

We look tired and house. Don't be surprised if we get blown out today - a let down the game after a huge game like the one against LAL often occurs.

[Shastafarian]

I wonder if we see Croshere at all tonight. I'm pretty sure I saw him suited up on the bench.

[sonic21]

too much J

[Reck]

We were up until TD went to the bench and then 76ers on a 17-5 run

We were up and losing the lead with Tim in.

Didn't make a lick of difference.

[howbouthemspurs]

where is the D?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

BTW guys, go take a look at our players and where they shoot well from - Manu is particularly interesting! He hits over 65% from anywhere inside the line on the left side, but can't hit 3s from that corner!

Seems they already done that. Now the Spurs need to start defending themselves.

Oh my bad. Right I'm not saying in that situation it was a gimme shot but in general when the defender falls off and you're at the basket, it's a gimme. But the post up is precisely why he missed. He used up too much on the moves to get to the basket.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bonner gets a lot of bad calls on him. There was NOTHING in that.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great D Hill
