I know ducks is as old school as it gets but you would have thought after 10+ years on Spurs' forums, he would at least improve his grammar a little.
Oh well, his nonsense makes me laugh either way.
this idiot is great ..... please never stop the idiotic comments

The Spurs would've lost this game last year.
Spurs game night react starts now

ducks is the best poster on ST, and I'm being completely genuine when I say that..
True..said the same thing earlier.
It felt like the Spurs weren't playing their best ball but still got a decent victory. Once Splitter rounds into form and starts, the Spurs should be set.
Seniority is only a good thing if you don't act ing senile
Ducks has been doing this for a long time now. He used to camouflage his Manu hate up until a couple of years ago, then he unwittingly outed himself and just said " it" from then on.
I'll say this for him, he's the most honest and consistent hater on this board.
ducks r find shift key and punction
Some post game quotes.
Spurs beat reeling Clippers to win 5th straight
By Paul J. Weber
When Richard Jefferson opted out of a lucrative contract this summer, he signed a new deal paying him more like a sidekick than a star.
Compared to last year, the Spurs are getting a bargain.
Jefferson scored 22 points—his third 20-point night in the last four games — and the San Antonio Spurs won their fifth straight with a 107-95 win over the banged-up Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.
A bundle of 20-point games was nothing for Jefferson before arriving in San Antonio. But coming off a miserable debut with the Spurs a year ago, Jefferson has quietly emerged as the second-leading scorer for the 6-1 Spurs.
He’s not expecting to take over the top spot.
“I doubt it,” Jefferson said. “You look at Manu (Ginobili) and Tony (Parker), they have the balls in their hand the majority of the game. My job is to knock down shots.”
Ginobili also had 22 points, and Parker had 21 points and nine rebounds.
The Spurs won their 18th consecutive game over the Clippers, who played without Eric Gordon, Baron Davis or Chris Kaman—three of their four leading scorers.
Injuries have decimated the Clippers, who are off to another horrendous start for the woebegone franchise. They fell to 1-8, so far showing no signs of the playoff potential that first-year coach Vinny Del Negro felt he had.
Rasual Butler led the Clippers with 18 points. Blake Griffin struggled for a second straight game, scoring 11 points on 5 of 18 shooting, a night after scoring 10 in a loss to New Orleans.
His most memorable play was a one-handed alley-oop dunk late in the fourth, which he may have thrown down with frustration after the rookie was whistled for a technical foul.
“It’s not like we’re going out there and giving up,” Griffin said. “It’s tough. We’ve already lost more games than we lost my last year in college, and (Oklahoma) played almost three time the amount of games we’ve played.”
San Antonio improved to 6-1, and is far making good on their goal of not lumbering out of the gate as in recent seasons. Only undefeated New Orleans has beaten the Spurs, who’ve taken advantage of struggling teams during this early streak.
In beating the Clippers, the Spurs have won their last three games against one-win teams. Next up is Philadelphia, which has won only twice.
But the Clippers didn’t make this one entirely easy.
Forced to play their fourth different starting lineup already this season, the Clippers took the lead midway through the third quarter on an Eric Bledose 3-pointer. The Spurs answered with a 10-0 run, and despite a brief surge in the fourth quarter, the Clippers were soon headed home after a winless four-game road trip.
Tim Duncan, who skipped shootaround Wednesday morning because of flu-like symptoms, still started but scored just six points in 22 minutes.
Jefferson, who gave up $15.2 million this year to sign a new four-year deal worh about $38 million, was 4 of 6 from behind the 3-point line.
“If you look at the way we started last year … we were losing to teams we probably shouldn’t have lost to,” Jefferson said. “Here we’re giving ourselves a little bit more of a cushion.”
Ryan Gomes and Bledsoe scored 11 apiece for the Clippers. Craig Smith had 15 points off the bench.
Kaman is expected to miss at least two weeks after spraining his ankle Tuesday night at New Orleans. The Clippers were also missing leading scorer Eric Gordon (shoulder) for the second straight night and point guard Baron Davis.
Davis played for the first time in five games Tuesday, but Del Negro said his sore knee still isn’t healthy enough to play back-to-backs. Backup guard Randy Foye (hamstring) also coninues to sit out.
“We got five guys hurt. It’s weird, we came out of the locker to warm up and it was like half our team out there,” Griffin said. “It’s like going into a battle with half your guys. But we can’t make excuses.”
Notes: The Clippers haven’t beaten the Spurs since March 2006. They’ll get their next chance Dec. 1 in San Antonio, where the Clippers haven’t won in eight years. … Spurs rookie Gary Neal, who hit five 3-pointers in a win Monday at Charlotte, didn’t enter the game until close to the final minute.
Test
San Antonio Spurs 107, Los Angeles Clippers 95
by Andrew A. McNeill
AT&T CENTER — Tim Duncan entered Wednesday night’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers clouded in uncertainty. Duncan exhibited flu-like symptoms earlier in the day and his appearance was in doubt.
“I really thought he wasn’t going to come,” Manu Ginobili said. “This morning he was feeling sick and we thought he wasn’t going to play, so it was very important for us to see him, knowing that he wasn’t close to 100%.”

Reporting from San Antonio
Old Clippers: Folding at the slightest sign of adversity.
New Clippers: Scrambling, clawing back and fighting hard at, well, major signs of adversity.

The common thread of wins and losses, though, still has not changed. The Clippers are ac ulating losses at a staggering rate. San Antonio defeated them, 107-95, at the AT&T Center on Wednesday night
They lost their first six games two seasons ago. Last season, they opened 0-4. Now the Clippers have won just once in nine games, and have four times more players injured than victories.
Not a good ratio, under any cir stance.
"It's weird. We came out of the locker room to warm up and it's like we only had half our team out there," said rookie Blake Griffin. "It's like going to battle with half your guys."
It was never going to be simple, not here and not against the Spurs. The Clippers hold the league's longest active losing streak against an opponent, as the Spurs have now defeated them 18 consecutive times.
The Clippers have not won a game at San Antonio since Jan. 31, 2002, and have dropped 25 of their last 26 here against the Spurs.
It makes their woes in Salt Lake City look almost mundane.
However, despite the absence of the injured Chris Kaman, Eric Gordon, Randy Foye and Baron Davis, the Clippers showed unusual resilience, taking the lead in the third quarter before the Spurs went on a 10-0 run.
They didn't stop battling, fighting back from a 14-point deficit at the end of the third quarter and pulling within five points with a little under three minutes remaining in the game.
This was despite a rocky shooting night from Griffin, who struggled with his shot for the second straight night, this time, going five for 18 for 11 points and eight rebounds and one technical foul. Rasual Butler led the Clippers with 18 points, including three three-pointers, and Craig Smith added 15 points off the bench.
"I thought the team defense on Blake was very good," Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich said. "That was probably the best part of our defense tonight. We took the ball out of his hands and we got him to take tough shots and we rotated well behind it.
"That was one of the bright spots I thought.'
Said Griffin: "I just missed shots tonight, missed wide open shots, forced too much. Just one of those nights where I couldn't get it going.
"We fight and we fight almost every game we play. We just need to do a better job of finishing it out. It wasn't a whole lot of what they did — it just kind of got away from us."
Griffin is not suffering from an injury and he joked about hitting the floor only 10 times against the Spurs.
"The important thing is to bounce back and be ready the next game," he said. "You are going to have some nights like that. I've just got to forget about it and move on."
Etc.
Davis, who played about 10 minutes Tuesday in New Orleans, did not play against the Spurs and reported a setback in his sore left knee. He said he planned to see the doctor back in Los Angeles on Thursday.
"It just swelled up," he said after the Spurs game, "and collected some fluid in a different part of the knee. So just probably got over-anxious. That's like the sad part.
"When I woke up this morning, I felt terrible. I felt terrible."
