Spurs vs. Raptors Previews

[Chieflion]

It is a new and improved Bosh who gained 20 pounds without losing a step. Bargnani is kicking ass. Turklogu runs that offense and turns it elite. Calderon is useless with Turk around. Spurs better be ready to play good defense.

[anonoftheinternets]

if i turn on the game and i see both Bonner and Finley starting, my head might explode. God, get Pop's head out of his ass.

calm down dumbass, pop himself said he shud be fired if he does not win this year... jus wait and watch ... let him pull his in the regular season... lets check back for the PO, if u cant stomach it, dont watch.

[Riverwalkman]

lol Parker's 14.7 ppg leads the team.

Maybe in this game Pop will still play some small ball, RJ is going to match up with Bargnani, hopefully that works. Chris Bosh will test Duncan defensively and offensively.

[Rappin' Pop]

I am going with small ball. Finley at the 4 is something you will see. Maybe even at the 5. I am still experimenting, hope you guys won't mind.

[timtonymanu]

I dont think this game is as easy as people keep saying it's gonna be. Raptors are different this year and Parker is out. But it's a home game. Hopefully Hill owns.

[benefactor]

Even if Finley does start, I think Bogans did enough in the last game to warrant more minutes. Hopefully Hairston can play well enough to help keep Finley on the bench too.

Bargnani: The most interesting thing about Andrea is that he seems to have learned how to play against the different match-ups. This season, if they put a smaller guy on him, he now knows to post him up. If it's a slower big guy, he will drive around him. His rebounding has been much better, as well.

Hedo: They are still learning how best to use him, especially to let him handle the ball more.

Bosh: He put on about 25 pounds of muscle this off-season. If you have not seen him yet, you might be a little surprised.

I have seen him.. and they were saying 25 pounds aswell... but no way is that much ...

Id say its closer to 10 pounds... which is still alot if it is pure muscle. If he were to put on 25 pounds of muscle, his knees, joints wouldnt be able to handle it, and he wouldnt be able to move as quickly. He just hasnt got the body to handle that much extra weight - but it shoudnt be a problem for him.

I get the point though, hes made an effort to get stronger.

[mystargtr34]

Bosh will probably get 30+... no matchup for him... at all.

[Spursmania]

It's hard to judge the Spurs given their Jekyll and Hyde personality at home and on the road so far offensively, but their defense better be solid if they're hoping to get a win.

Yes. There split personality is what needs to be remedied. Hopefully, they are just in a steep learning curve because their lack of defense makes me want

Now if 20 more games go by and they are still miserable in Defense and erratic as on offense, that's a whole other story...

No your not.

[lefty]

I expect a blow out, even without Parker. The Spurs have been a beast at home.

I'm not so sure.

Parker is not playing, and Calderon is 100% healthy and he's been playing great lately.

Duncan is not moving well, so I expect Bosh to have a very good game.

They are injured, they have been sent home to Toronto.

Sorry

[Whisky Dog]

Give Hairston/Haislip/Ian some burn for god sakes need to have some size and athleticism

I am a spurs fan ( a real one that cares about finley and bonner starting) but i like Calderon and Bargnani. Im gonna get their 1hr early to see if i can get a few autographs. Preferably the two mentioned above. I am not going to root for the raptors, but i do hope Calderon and Bargnani play well.

Sorry

That is not funny. Don't even joke like that!

Take it back!

Cool! I'll be there too. See you then.

[portnoy1]

I cant wait to see Bargnani light up Bonner and Finley ( when the spurs go small) and then get outrebounded by 6-7 dejuan blair. We might see ian mahinmi tho cause of bargs versatility. Scary thing is that is, as of now Tim wants no part of Big Bad Bargs. he can shoot and put it on the floor. I also think he is a little quicker than Dirk. Thats not saying much but it means it will be tougher to guard him.

[thispego]

i dont think the spurs will win....... heck we cant even beat the jazz and bulls, and portland

we? rofl
