Game Blog: Spurs At Warriors - April 13

I love me some Bowen..

[AussieFanKurt]

at last bonner connects

[GSH]

Its safe to say that Mason has passed Duncan as the Spur whose shot gets blocked most often..

Mason should FedEx the ball to the rim... it would get there quicker.

[alchemist]

In fact if Houston loses I wouldn't mind dropping the N.O. game just to get 5th and avoid a chance at the Lakers in the 2nd round.

Anthony Randolph reminds me of a left-handed Tayshaun Prince.

Tim yelling at refs?

[HarlemHeat37]

how does Duncan not get that call? he was sandwiched..

[ace3g]

what a shot by Duncan, spinning around shooting backwards behind his shoulder for a layup

[raspsa]

I guess its encouraging that Pop is keeping Timmy in the game despite the big lead.. get a chance to get rid of some of the rust and get his timing back.. knee is definitely better

[peskypesky]

spurs up 27. will duncan and parker get some rest?

[Manu-of-steel]

it's a rout. maybe pop will give hill some burn

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't think Randolph compares to anybody in the NBA, at least not at the top of my head..he really has the talent to do EVERYTHING on the court..he just needs to get some weight on his frame, and he needs to put his game together..specifically understanding when to do what, which will come with time..

i think Gooden's game is also helping Tim's spirits.

If Dallas wins we win the division which makes us automatically the third seed. This is a new rule for this season. Division winners override any tiebreakers.

You're back to being my sig . Being a division winner guarantees one of the top 4 spots. But if a non-division winner has a better record than one of the division winners, they get the higher seed. You could conceivably have the 1 and 2 seed from the same division, and the other 2 division winners could be the 3 and 4 seeds.

[Biggems]

ok for those of you who dont know.....the Spurs need to win out, and have Houston and Portland lose for them to get the 3 seed.

If one of those two wins their final game, the best we can do is 4. If both win, we end up 5.

[bdictjames]

Not to jinx the game, but the entire Spurs team has 40 rebounds while we still have about 19 minutes left to play.

[peskypesky]

time for Jacque?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

So, who do you want to see in the first round?

Portland scares me - I know they are young and inexperienced in playoffs pressure, but they just spell first round upset to me, whoever they play.

Houston would be a brawl, probably go 7 games.

I'll take a beaten up NO - they have no centre to speak of, and althoughWest and paul kill us, we own Peja. Yeah, I'd like to see NO.

Unfortunately basketball IQ isn't as easy to acquire as weight or muscle.

[Libri]

Bonner 3

good passing

[peskypesky]

spurs up 30

[bdictjames]

Oh wow, this is great offense and great defense.

[Spursmania]

Is it me or does this seem like a very long game?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Anthony Randolph reminds me of a left-handed Tayshaun Prince.

I think he's going to be better than Prince.

[AussieFanKurt]

why does bonner turn on when it doesnt matter
