Game Blog: San Antonio Spurs VS Minnesota Timberwolves 12 April 2010

[L.I.T]

Hmmm - so which poster is really Pop?

I'm gonna bet one of the trolls.

[Brazil]

Who cares? Ian is playing pretty good, getting more and more confidence and he's allowing Timmy to get some rest. It's all good!

I know but he could have done a long time ago. I really don't get Pop

[easy7]

I know but he could have done a long time ago. I really don't get Pop

Maybe he was saving him for the playoffs? Nahhhhhhhhhhhh

Maybe not - maybe it's taken this long for Pop to be certain Ian knows the system and the plays. Putting him out there too early and having him play poorly could kill his confidence.

[BanditHiro]

terrible

[DPG21920]

Ian has taken a lot of FT's. A lot.

[Ya Vez]

crap.. somebody punch the custodian.... ugh

[Pauleta14]

why Pop is giving so many minutes to Ian so late in the season ?

I think he is giving him an opportunity to showcase himself so he gets a good deal elsewhere!

or he is going CIA Pop...

[siraulo23]

Just finish this game already

[DPG21920]

10 FT's in 16 minutes

[ohmwrecker]

Maybe he was saving him for the playoffs? Nahhhhhhhhhhhh

Tony made a deal with Pop. He negotiated PT for his amie for agreeing to be the spark off the bench.

[Crookshanks]

Come on now guys - don't get complacent and let the Wolves get some confidence. You have to keep your foot on their throat.

[ManuTastic]

So if Spurs get 96+ points by end of 3rd quarter, correct way to fill in this blank is?

T'woves have the ___-est defense in the league.

[DPG21920]

Spurs FT shooting has me worried. They can't afford the bad nights at the line in the PO's.

[Ice009]

If Tony is going to continue to come off the bench and if he can embrace this bench role he could be the most LETHAL WEAPON in the entire NBA.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 98-74 after the 3rd

[Crookshanks]

at Bill Land. He said with the way the refs are blowing the whistle, the Portland game could end before this one!

[CFH]

Good night for Manu and Tim to get a lot of rest.

[Brazil]

Maybe not - maybe it's taken this long for Pop to be certain Ian knows the system and the plays. Putting him out there too early and having him play poorly could kill his confidence.

I'm not sure about that, Ian played some good stretchs sooner in the season.

[Spurologist]

Confirmation that TP and TD was just joking at halftime.....TP tapped TD on the head and ran away like they were playing tag.

[dc_spursfan]

I can't watch the game but there is no way yahoo got this right with Ian having 13 pts and 6rebs

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

So if Spurs get 96+ points by end of 3rd quarter, correct way to fill in this blank is?

T'woves have the D'Antoni-est defense in the league.

[DesignatedT]

If Tony is going to continue to come off the bench and if he can embrace this bench role he could be the most LETHAL WEAPON in the entire NBA.

i really don't think it matters who's coming off the bench.. its pretty much the same thing... everybody can play with manu and everybody can play with tony and they can both play with eachother. everyone that was talking will be back riding the nuts of tony real soon.

[Crookshanks]

I'm not sure about that, Ian played some good stretchs sooner in the season.

Maybe Ian is Pop's secret weapon. The other teams haven't seen too much of him, and won't be expecting him to be much of a factor in the playoffs

[Spurs Brazil]

Thunder up 28-22
