Game Blog : Spurs @ Warriors

[pawe]

I thought they're gonna hit another buzzer beater again.

[Yorae]

It's ok. Considering the sloppy play, we're only down by 2. Expect a 2nd half turn around.

nope thankfuly

OK thanks to Pops BS we are down 4 to a run-n-gun no defense team. Spurs gotta bounce back next half, Enough small ball damn it! TD should have 30 by now not 19.

[HarlemHeat37]

we shouldn't be losing this game, Pop experimented horribly..there's no reason to play small ball with a team like the Warriors, who can play it as well as anybody in the NBA..they have the most talent in the NBA in regards to swingmen..

Warriors leading by 4 at the half.

[mystargtr34]

Duncan will have to play 40 tonight. This team gets owned as soon as hes out of the game - especially when Pop goes to his Fantasy SB.

i really don't understand the spurs going small ball. it's not like they have the players to successfully pull it out. they don't have the size nor speed to gain an advantage.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

this is so sloppy..

Just what I was thinking.

They'll tighten up in the 2nd half. They have to.

[tomtom]

peoples need to chill out, they will turn it around for sure in the second half

[dbestpro]

by haters I mean spurs fans that get pissed off when we don't win every game of the regular season. It's ok to get dissappointed, but what if your mother called you a dumbass- er everytime you screwed something up.?.. Have a little respect for the franchise and stop hating everytime things don't go their way. Especially in the middle of a game...they still can win this. Wait until they lose to unleash your lame-ass poor sportsmanship. jeez.

You're right. We should always praise the Spurs. Good up, Pop.

Duncan was on pace to have a 40 point game. He had 17 in the first quarter, yet Pop takes that as a signal to go small ball.

End of Half SAS 48 GS 52

+3 rebouding
+3 TO
+1 assists
GS 50% SAS 49%

[HarlemHeat37]

it doesn't make much sense to do it vs. Golden State, but it's clearly an attempt by Pop to see how those players respond to the situation, which is what he always does..

more Hairston!!..

surely we won't piss this game off....surely.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I dont see how Small Ball against the Warriors could be successful. If he wanted to try and experiment his SB bull , doing it against the team that thrives on it probly isnt the most ideal way to go about it.

What you say doesn't make sense. If you are going to experiment with smallball, do it against a team that's good at it to see if you can play them that way. If you can't, you know that you never play their style. We now know this team can't play ULTRA-SMALLBALL (like we didn't know that already... )

after being up 19-10 the Spurs were outscored 42-29........

[JohnnySixString]

Well, whatever the they are doing or not doing, they better stop letting the warriors shoot 50%!!!!

[itzsoweezee]

spurs look like they're not even trying

[crc21209]

TD has 17 in the 1st, and 2 in the 2nd. What kind of is that Pop? Tim was gonna go for 50 tonight and you ed it up! lol.

[dbestpro]

There is never a valid reason to put that lineup on the floor. Jackson must have felt like Jabbar.

[HarlemHeat37]

the thing about this game is that Golden State is an unpredictable team..they have games where they can compete with anybody, and they have games where they get out of rhythm and start jacking up..

last time we played them, which was earlier in the season, we won by 30+ IIRC..that was one of those out of rhythm games..this one looks like it's going to be the opposite..they have too much talent to count them out..

Awful from the tip off to now. Don't piss this game away pop.

[Thomas82]

surely we won't piss this game off....surely.

I hope not, you don't want to start this road trip off on the wrong foot.

[crc21209]

2 big matchup problems....who plays Jack, and who plays Maggette? Right now they had Bruce on Jack and KT on Maggette but Maggette was somewhat ing up KT.
