Just the 4th... and don't look at the score lol

I've seen the score...unfortunately. Guess I will watch the 4th for Pops.

[peskypesky]

He shows some promise but I'd like to see more rebounding prowess.

the dude has 6 rebounds in 11 minutes....pull your head out.

[mVp]

you Ime.

[FREEDOM]

Barkley called it "sissy ball" last night.

Barkley is the man.

[Jobbs]

Udoka is ing TRASH

[weebo]

Udoka needs to retire now!!!

[MateoNeygro]

I swear I'd make more shots than Udoka has...

[ploto]

Dude needs to take his ass back to Serbia, cause he aint no NBA player!

Serbia? Wally was born in Spain while his dad (who played for George Washington University) was playing basketball for Real Madrid at the time.

[timtonymanu]

man Udoka that would have helped a little.

[TDMVPDPOY]

udoka fkn

Manu hasn't even be an all-star the last several years. The last time he did make it, he was voted in by the coaches. 16 points a game and 4 rebounds and 4 assists a game won't get it done.

I love Manu, but we have to be honest.

Now, I know Manu's game is about so much more than numbers and there are all the intangibles that he brings to the table.

However, being MVP of the Italian league a couple of teams, being member of the Gold Medal Argentian team, being a player off the bench in 2003 of a team that won it all, making by coach's selection the all star team exactly once and being a key member of the 2005 NBA championship team, a supporting member of the 2007 NBA championship team and scoring 16 points a game, 4 rebounds a game and 4 assists a game -- well that's probably not enough to get into the Hall of Fame.

Bruce was a starter for the 2003 and 2005 and 2007 teams that won it all.
Being a starter for a championship team isn't a strong argument for a person being in the Hall of Fame.

Being MVP of a league that is not equal in category to the NBA is also not a conclusive or convincing argument either.

The NBA is where the best basketball is played and that is not really debated. So, what has he done here. He hasn't made the starting team of the West ever for the All-Star team. And he only made it by coaching selection. The other years he didn't even make it at all.

So, in the NBA, he has not done much to show that he himself as an individual deserves to receive the individual recognition that the Hall of Fame provides.

I am a huge fan of Manu Ginobili. He's my second favorite Spur after Timmy.

But, I doubt that you will find many people who would agree that Manu is a lock for the Hall of Fame based upon what he has already done.

And that's not because I don't appreciate him -- he has been invaluable.

And without him, we might not have won several of our les (although Tim is the main reason why we won all 4 les-- even though Tony clearly deserved the 2007 Finals MVP trophy).

That's just my take.

manu's PER says otherwise.

[Chomag]

This should be Udoka's last game of the year...

[peskypesky]

"An impressive victory"??? Hubie Brown. ing dumb asshole.

[timtonymanu]

impressive? dominant?


BSPN! they just wanted a reason to hate on the Spurs.

[tomtom]

that was an impressive run, at least they made it respectable

[Mavs<Spurs]

ESPN genius announcer: "Two impressive wins tonight.... as Detroit wins in Orlando in the first game. And the Cavs coming in to San Antonio..."

Not an impressive win when Tim Duncan isn't playing and Manu Ginobili isn't playing.



Giving Cavs way too much credit. If Tim and Manu had played and they won, then that's one thing.

But this, this game shows us nothing about Cavs (or makes us less impressed by them).

[smrattler]

how good are we that the Cavs got an "IMPRESSIVE" win and bounced back "in a BIG way tonight"... when we are throwing this bunch out there tonight?

[Yorae]

We lose. Why do i feel somehow good......

[ManuTP9]

good to see Pops get some playing time

[Danny.Zhu]

That's the hustle you haven't seen on Spurs for quite a long time.

[tomtom]

impressive? dominant?


BSPN! they just wanted a reason to hate on the Spurs.

hope you'll be able to add bonsu to that sig of yours

[peskypesky]

Malik is good. No more ime i hope. I don't mean to be down on him.

I'm with you. I have nothing against Ime, but he just doesn't cut the mus . He doesn't have it. He seems like a nice fellow, and a good team-mate, and I can tell he WANTS to contribute, but he just doesn't have the ability. Can't hate on a guy for that....but it's time to send him to the D-League.

[Mugen]

that was a fun fourth quarter.

good to know that our scrubs are better than the cavs scrubs.

also, the coaching gap between pop and mike brown is just insaaaaane.

[smrattler]

That was the most fun I've had in a blow out loss for the Spurs!

Pops was fun!

[Ice009]

Udoka wants a part of this now, showing them how it's done!!!

If "it" is getting his jumper stuffed in his *** again!

Malik should get ALL of Ime's minutes and some on Michael's. I think Malik has busted his ass when given the opportunity and he is a player that can take it to the rim which is scarce on this team.

I wonder how Bonsu could play with Tim? When Tim gets doubled could he pass it to Bonsu for dunks?
