So you are relegated back to your level of intellect. At least it's easy to avoid now. The ignore option works great for turds like you who post drivel but lack the balls to respond.
I understand son. I didnt even have you in mind when I wrote what I wrote...guilty conscience?
Blah Blah I have a silly user name good point........and???
Really you just wrote a bunch of nonsense
For a ing troll, everything is nonsense, right?
When you cannot respond, you must feel owned.

I would buy that on a back to back, but the Lakers are Tuesday. Splitter won't see many minutes against LA because he's a liability right now on offense. That's because he's not seen enough time on the court with the team to get into the swing of it.
I don't buy the "missed training camp" argument. Many players miss training camp for teams they've been traded to. I am sure Arenas wasn't at the Magic's training camp.
Much like Ratliff last season, Splitter is being saved for the playoffs...
sofaking, the blair homer, strikes again!
whateva you say. I became a Spurs fan in 97 after Tim got drafted. If anything, I'm a Tim Homer. I'm actually related to #21......not #45 or whatever number Blair uses.
How the am I a troll? I peeped what you said, wasnt worth a reply because you wrote a bunch of from your perspective, trying to make what I wrote look idiotic. I didnt quote you or no one else, I wrote what I felt from my point of view.
Y'all dudes call anybody who don't agree with your POV a troll... I don't get it. Arguing over Rasho Nestrovic jr minutes, like you know better than the coach. If pop were to play Blair 3mins next game and Splitter 25, I would still hear excuses. Every game is an excuse for him. You have never seen a post from me making excuses for Blair. All I know is, Blair's potential>>Splitter's.
"Blair's potential>>Splitter's"
How can you play down your blair homerism, after saying that?
i didnt get to catch this game, but im glad we won! good to see that hill has returned
Overall a good, solid win for the Spurs! Bring on the Lakers!
Thats my opinion. I guess one could say I favor Blair. Just makes me like number 1 or 2 out of 30+ Spurs fans that do the same for Tiago. If you were to say that "Splitter's potential>>Blair's" I wouldnt have a problem with that. Honestly before the season started, I wanted Splitter to start, but after further review and seeing all the wining, I'm ok with Blair starting.
FWIW, Post game quotes are up on Spurs.com
Fair enough.
im glad to see smokey returning and doing fine.
Was talking about the hole season, not only against the Wiz..Maybe i should've added that Pop is a "small ball" lover.
weak win
we did not play as good defense as adverted. I am extremely woried about our upcoming stretch. I wish my conern actually had the ability to change reality but facts stand that I think we will be lucky to go .500 over our next hard stretch.
I think if Pop isn't going to give Splitter an opportunity then trade him to another team for a legit veteran big who would be serviceable. Maybe Camby since Portland seems to want to trade him.
When the F will he play Splitter more? When we start losing? Is he like a secret weapon or what? It's somehow frustrating that Pop doesn't want to give Splitter minutes even if we're playing the worst and undermanned team in the East. One of the best oppurtunity for him to get experience had just passed! How am I suppose to believe that he will play Splitter with the elite teams? It's almost automatic in my head that we're going to lose against top teams if Tiago doesn't play more. Pathetic!
Oh, yeah I get it. We won. No need to complain. Sheesh!

Wizards vs. Spurs: John Wall returns, but Washington's road record falls to 0-14
By Michael Lee
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, December 27, 2010; 12:00 AM
SAN ANTONIO - There was John Wall, back after missing more than two weeks of action, pulling out a Manu Ginobili move, whirling the ball behind his back and dropping a pretty left-hand layup. Rashard Lewis appeared comfortable in his second game with his new team, providing the perimeter shooting the Washington Wizards had hoped for when they acquired him from the Orlando Magic.
Kirk Hinrich, despite the rainbow-colored shiner beneath his left eye, ran the team well and could hardly miss in the first half. And Hilton Armstrong helped limit Tim Duncan to five points, which used to equate to success against the San Antonio Spurs.
While there were some positives that could be taken from Sunday's game at AT&T Center, the undermanned Wizards couldn't come away with a road victory against the team that holds the league's best record.
With Andray Blatche and JaVale McGee serving a one-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team, the Wizards lost, 94-80, to the Spurs and extended their franchise record for consecutive road defeats to start the season at 14.
The Wizards have lost 11 straight games in San Antonio, with Lewis the only player on their current roster who was in the NBA on Dec. 11, 1999.
"I can't fault our guys as far as effort," Coach Flip Saunders said. "When you're undermanned like that, you almost have to play perfect basketball."
The Wizards (7-21) will have Blatche and McGee back in uniform on Monday in Houston, where they will attempt to avoid matching the team record of 15 straight road losses in one season. Blatche and McGee issued apologies for getting involved in a scuffle with each other outside a Washington area nightclub last week. The team had initially deemed it "simply a disagreement between teammates" but decided to punish the players after further investigation.
Blatche wrote in a text message: "I'm very sorry for the incident. I had no intention of this ever happening. I apologize for my behavior, to my family, the whole Wizards organization, my fans, my teammates and coaches." McGee expressed a similar sentiment on his Twitter account.

Without his leading scorer in Blatche and leading rebounder in McGee, Saunders went with his 13th different starting lineup, giving the nods to Lewis and Armstrong, both of whom played well. Lewis scored a team-high 21 points with 12 rebounds and Armstrong added 13 rebounds before being forced to leave early in the fourth quarter after suffering a mild right foot sprain trying to block a shot by the Spurs' Gary Neal and landing awkwardly. Armstrong will be listed as day-to-day.
"It always hurts to be short-handed, but everybody else was ready to play," Armstrong said. "I'm proud of how everybody stepped up. We didn't come out with the victory, but we all played hard. We're making some improvements from a couple of weeks ago to now. I think we're starting to get there."
Wall returned to action for the first time since a loss to New York on Dec. 10 and appeared to be a little rusty after sitting the past five games with a bone bruise under his right knee. Wall finished with just four points, on 2-of-9 shooting, with six rebounds and four assists in just less than 20 minutes.
He joked afterward about being a little out of condition. "I hadn't played in two weeks and a half, so running on a bike is different than running on the court, especially chasing a talented point guard in Tony Parker," Wall said. "Before [Saunders] took me out the first time, five plays before that, I was trying to get out of there. I just wasn't used to it."
Wall still showed flashes of his dizzying speed. Saunders called on the No. 1 overall pick to enter the game with 6.1 seconds left in the second quarter. Wall got the ball and sprinted up the floor, where Ginobili was standing in the lane, waiting. Wall wrapped around the ball and Ginobili, frozen, could only admire as Wall completed a left-handed layup - in less than four seconds - that looked reminiscent of many of his animated forays to the rim.
"It's something I've been doing since high school. But yeah, he does that move, too," Wall said of Ginobili. "I got him with it."
Wall's spectacular shot brought the Wizards within 48-42 at halftime, but the Spurs took control in the third period, opening a 16-point lead as Ginobili and Parker (20 points, 14 assists) combined for 14 of their 33 points. The Wizards got within nine points with two Armstrong free throws with 9:27 remaining, but Ginobili (21 points and five three-pointers) responded with a three-pointer and Neal made a jumper over Armstrong that ended his night.
Hinrich, who got hit under the eye in the Wizards' last game against Chicago, had 15 points and seven assists but wasn't ready to celebrate hanging around with the team with the league's best record. "We should expect to. It's good that we did that, but it's not like we shouldn't expect to compete every night," he said. "I'm a little frustrated right now, I feel like we're starting to play the right way and trying to do the right things out there. We just haven't been able to put it all together quite yet."
After the game, Saunders expressed some disappointment in not having Blatche and McGee around. "Our players have known from the first day of camp that we have a zero tolerance, as far as incidents off the floor," he said. "It's unfortunate that they put themselves in that situation. It doesn't matter, youth and inexperience are not an excuse for anyone not acting in a professional manner. That's the disappointing thing."
How many incidents do the Wizards get before someone fires the entire team and rebuilds or just sells the thugfest?
I just saw the box score today. This should have been one of the few games for a week or so where it wouldn't have hurt us (against a vastly inferior opponent) to have Splitter get some solid minutes... and he gets 5 minutes? Is Pop trying to go into the playoffs with Splitter having no experience? I know we have a lot of games left, but the more experience he gets, the better.
I'm glad the Spurs got the win, but it was not an impressive one.
The ballhandling and the passing were very sloppy, to an extent that I was surprised they had only 11 turnovers. Bonner had a good game (for his standards), but he faked and dribbled way too much for my liking. If he has an open three, he should take it about 90 % of the time.
I liked that Neal found a way to score even though his threes weren't falling. Another good thing was RJ hitting the glass without being involved that much offensively. This is something we wouldn't have seen last season.
Tony and Manu were great, especially on the offensive end. Blair was so-so, I think. Had a couple of good baskets, but not getting one single defensive rebound is just not acceptable for a starting big who played over 20 minutes.
