Game Blog: Spurs @ Blazers - Feb. 01

[Crookshanks]

Even the announcers are saying Pop has played small ball too long and that the Spurs are being hurt by not playing Timmy and Blair. Come on Pop!! Don't let this game get away.

[CFH]

No . They want to win.

Spurs is atrocious without Duncan and Parker in the game

[ElNono]

Paging TD and TP...

[Rummpd]

Portland announcers laughing at Pop's decision to go so small and it is absolutely killing the Spurs. This game is about to slip away real fast unless Pop wakes up.

[Pauleta14]

This is going to end "live or die by the 3" and probably with a white flag from Pop...

[jestersmash]

I see why Portland fans are so adamant about Aldridge making the all star team. The guy is playing like a bonafide MVP candidate right now, let alone just "all-star caliber."

[DPG21920]

Portland is very much like Houston where they just scrap and fight and earn everything. Have to love how they play.

Also, Wes Math came out of no where in recent years. Dude is legit.

[gilmor]

2-3 consecutive offensive rebounds by the opposing tem

[Spurminator]

Blazers announcers just said they have 1 offensive rebound in the half... right after a possession where they grabbed 4 of them.

[spurtech09]

we need another 3pointer now

[ducks]

get duncan tp in give manu a minute break then lets do it

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sloppy execution. Dice having a rare off game - he's been fumbling it all night.

Can't really work out why, but the Blazers are a bad matchup for us. We don't seem to be able to find an advantage anywhere on the court at the offensive end.

[dbreiden83080]

Next 3 min likely decides this..

[007nites]

Get Timmy and TP in there Pop arghh

[Thomas82]

Get a rebounder in there - Blair with a career game in first half and going small and he is out!

You can blame that on foul trouble.

WHY IS DUNCAN NOT BACK IN???? Is he hurt?

[Libri]

So much heart from this Blazer team. Sucks that they are hit with injuries all the time and BOO Spurs. Pop, why does Duncan need so much rest? Put him back in.

Some Blazer fans have said that they having being playing better without Roy. They're sharing the basketball. Before they would stand around to see what Roy would do.

[spurtech09]

my dad is killing me

[DPG21920]

LA is balling. Spurs have no answer for him, but we knew this going into the game.
