Game Blog: Spurs @ Clippers - Dec. 1

[Obstructed_View]

I'm not sure what I'm hoping for more, that Splitter tells reporters that he didn't leave Europe and sign for peanuts to sit on the bench, or that a certain guy steps in a hole coming back from the locker room and snaps an ankle.

[Texas_Ranger]

I'd like to see Tony Parker do something.

I feel so bad for Tiago..I'll admit I'm probly the biggest Splitter homer here since I folllowed him aloe in Europe ... He must be thinking what have I gotten myself into ... From best player in Europe to not being able to play ahead of a 6'6 PF shooting sub 40% and horrible defensively ... And a white 3 point shooting stiff who plays no defense or doesn't rebound.

I'm happy the team has been successful, but I hear you, what a waste, Tiago isn't learning anything sitting on the bench. Blair hasn't been burning down the house, and Bonner if he's not hitting his shots is a total waste.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

It is flat out sad how easily we get outscored when Bonner is missing those three's.


BONNER YOU ING BAS HIT THOSE WIDE OPEN THREES jesus christ.

This is why sequspur is smarter than like 99% of the people on this board.

why you quoting my spurs flags tho?

[siraulo23]

yay for imay

[HarlemHeat37]

It's amazing how Pop hasn't realized that Bonner is strictly a confidence player, and he just hasn't had it the last few games..I understand letting him play for a few minutes to get him going, but once you realize he just doesn't have it tonight, which is evident by now, then you need to bench his ass..

It's amazing how Ime is on an NBA team right now, and getting rotation minutes..it's even more amazing how there are still Spurs fans that defend him..

[janetcn12]

Hope the second half is better..Go Spurs...trash the Clippers

[maddnezz]

It's back on whew, woo hoo! Still need that other link though...anybody....anybody... pm of course, thanks!

Parker 1-5
Duncan 1-4
Jefferson 1-6
Bonner 0-3
Udoka wasting 3 shots (0-3)

Spurs miss 15 consecutive shots and are only down 8.

Clippers are absolutely terrible. All of that should be a recipe for an overwhelming double digit lead.

The reason it's 8 is because of our offensive rebounding advantage. Spurs clearly in control of this one to be honest. We're not going to miss the next 15 consecutive shots.

is this baron's first game? he is making a humongous difference. they suck but with him he gets their shooters open shots

Parker 1-5
Duncan 1-4
Jefferson 1-6
Bonner 0-3
Udoka wasting 3 shots (0-3)

If the Spurs DO miss their next 15 consecutive shots, they will lose by 20.

I think they will come out strong in the 3rd and go on a run and finish the 3rd quarter with an 8-10 point lead.

[BanditHiro]

pop needs to realize the lakers just lost and we are in prime position to troll on spurstalk, but only if we win this game.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

why you quoting my spurs flags tho?

'twas a misquote.


Oh yeah, and what the is wrong with Parker? Is he out of rhythm or is he ailing?

Let's get on that "San Antonio Dispatch" to at least give us some insider info on this situation.

[DPG21920]

Pop will adjust. He has been coaching too well not to.

[Texas_Ranger]

When we played with Hill, Neal and Dice we were much better.

[Fireball]

Obviously there is a greater chance for Pau Gasol going to play in Europa than Splitter getting some playing time ...

[Pauleta14]

I'd like to see Tony Parker do something.

[ShoogarBear]

the team then might as well lineup in the paint for Griffin photo shoot

The Spurs-eye view of the first half:

[024]

this is not good. spurs are just going to get even more tired from here on out.

[lefty]

Me too please!

[TIMMYD!]

Tim had a open look when he grabbed that offensive rebound but he passed it out.

He did it so we would have the last shot of the half.

It's amazing that pop hasn't realized that Bonner can't defend anyone, muchless the best bigs in the league. There's no reason to expect a change. Pop brought in Udoka which made Splitter the 6th big. I hope they trade him.

[NASpurs]

I'm not sure what I'm hoping for more, that Splitter tells reporters that he didn't leave Europe and sign for peanuts to sit on the bench, or that a certain guy steps in a hole coming back from the locker room and snaps an ankle.

I was thinking hope he chokes on a sandwich but I like your idea better.

It's amazing how Ime Udoka has more minutes the Splitter the past couple of games.

It's amazing how Bonner is leading the team in minutes at the half.

[Barfunk]

Wish Pop would play Splitter but he isn't. Pop ain't going to change. It is what it is.

[Duncan2177]

Spurs please dont loose to the red headed step child of the lakers.
