Game Blog: Pacers @ Spurs - Oct. 27

[NASpurs]

I think he's referring to Shaq.

Bogans is referred to as the "centerpiece " so Texas 2 Step with another stupid post. Just turn off the computer and start fresh next game. Season is still young.

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ and Hill with 3 fouls

[timvp]

Pop needs to run about five plays in a row for Hill to get him back in the groove of things.

[Libri]

My fantasy team needs rebounds! Come on Blair, unleash the beast within. hehe

[Pauleta14]

I reckon TP lost his tear drop when he started working with Chip Engelland. He missed one badly again at the end of the half.

I want to see TP get that tear drop runner back.

I agree,

See on his last tear drop try, he was a bit short but had "plenty" of time to adjust it, jump a bit more...

He is not "loose" yet, but hey, it's just the 1st half of the 1st game ...

The influence on the run game is clearly there. We are running more than we ever did last season. The defense definitely needs to step up big time but running the ball like this means more scoring as well.

[ohmwrecker]

Who's in Boston? Bogans? Do you even know what team he plays for?

No, he's still whining about Shaq.

Dig it.

Indiana has hit a lot of jumpshots. That likely won't continue.

Unfortunately, so have the Spurs, and that likely won't continue either.

Whoever hits the first skid offensively is going to be in trouble.

I bet 90% of the yahoos in this thread are crying "defense sucks!" just based on the score.

Newsflash yahoos - just because the opposing team scores a lot doesn't necessarily mean that your defense was bad.

I'd rate the defense as average. Not spectacular, but certainly not "bad." One or two possessions had truly "bad" defense.

I need some gosh damn assist. Come on Collison

[CFH]

He quoted someone asking about the centerpiece (everyone knows that's in reference to Bogans) and he said he's in Boston.

If Texas 2 Step has got a thing for Shaq and that's his own "centerpiece" then he needs to specify that.

He's really high on Shaq for some reason, as I've noticed by his previous posts on here.

[DesignatedT]

good aggressive play by rj. that was a no call.

Oh, I'd rate it pretty bad. The rotations were non-existant. The lanes were wide open. The man to man coverage was mediocre at best.

Not that I think it's worth freaking out over at this point. Definitely needs to improve, but it's game one. So. . . yeah.

[angelbelow]

Damn sick block by RJ

[duncan228]

Nice Duncan.

[CFH]

Nice move by Timmy

[jestersmash]

anderson making rookie mistakes but this is to be expected I suppose.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

There you go Manu and TP

[NRHector]

manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Libri]

Damn

[CFH]

Damn, too bad Blair couldn't finish on that one.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Got to make those DB

[CFH]

Timmy has been money tonight with the J.

[Obstructed_View]

My new sig.



I have some other thoughts, but none of them really matter since the Spurs are probably not going to make the playoffs with defense like this.

One note on technicals: Manu was lucky not to get a technical for holding his hands up. Hibbert is getting away with murder and Duncan hasn't complained. Manu will be the first to be rung up.
