Game Blog: Hornets @ Spurs - Feb. 2

[GSH]

so?

same thing for the Hornets. son every team is having to play more games in less nights (other than the Clippers who are the NBA's newest team they are trying to push to the top)

And your point? We're not impressed that we had to play 4 games in 5 nights. We're happy that we WON on the last night of a 4 in 5. We've had trouble for several seasons with the second night of b2b's. It's a good sign when we're winning those.

It's really not necessary for you to be a on EVERY post, for us to realize you're from NO. Really.

Yeah, and the Clippers are going to pay for that later in the season. It might even cost them being healthy going into the post-season.

OMG the NOH play-by-play guy just had an orgasm with Pop tearing into Tony while we're up 10. "He just gets in Parker's mug. You would think they were down double digits. Look at that, and he just walks away. 10 pt SA lead, and they're not happy about it"

To be fair, he's from Baton Rouge which is Tigers country. Its been a rough time. I'm still butthurt from the Classless Saints losing a game in the last 40 seconds. It happens.

son with Paul's knee being a ticking time bomb its only a matter of time. its not a matter of if, but rather of when.

I didn't act like anything, short-bus. And I don't think anyone else said we have a tougher schedule than the rest. They just commented that we're winning on second nights, which is a good sign for us.

Actually Hollinger Strength of Schedule thing has Clippers, Hornets and Spurs in the top 3, but Clippers did get a lot more time at first to train and get ready.

short bus with the 12th seat in the back

son stop being so sensitive. this is SpursTalk.

I think Splitter's going to be in good shape. Both Tony and Tim trust and respect him. Pop was actually advocating for Splitter during a timeout early in the 4th (or late in the 3rd, I forget) when Green/Neal/Joseph weren't getting him the ball. I'm pretty sure Ginobili also respects Splitter.

Hopefully with the Big 3 vouching for Splitter, the underlings will begin to trust him more in no time.

Proof? My feed was shaky, so if Bill or Sean said anything, I probably missed it, fyi, iirc tbhh.

I don't know why you call them Classless. That was a sick loss, but a of a game. I was pulling for the Saints to knock off Brady this year, too.

Mocking other butthurt fans who accused the Saints of running up the score. If the Saints would have held on, they would have thrashed the Giants at home and scored 50+ on the Pats. I haven't gotten over that loss and I probably never will. Team had a great chance to win another Super Bowl which would have made it 2 in the 3 seasons. The pain won't go away until Brees and company win another ring.

Drew Brees is the most over-hyped, media driven "star" in all of sports. Dude isn't a winner outside of one fluke year. Out of all the big name QB's, he by far had the best run game to support him (which never got any credit), a great o-line AND the best defense out of all the big name QB's and he still showed he was just a media hyped personality and not an elite QB this playoff.

son shut the up with that bull

They're discussing it on Spurs live right now.

Sean specifically mentioned the fact that Pop was on (presumably Green/Neal/Joseph) during a timeout for not getting Splitter the ball.

Splitter found Duncan wide open underneath the basket, but Duncan bobbled the ball and turned it over. During the following timeout, Duncan went over to Splitter and gave him a pat on the head/apologized for bobbling the ball on that possession and if I recall correctly for missing Tiago when he was open.

Tony of course has stated multiple times that he loves playing P&R with Splitter, and I think the fact that Sean specifically brought this up to Tony a couple of games ago during an interview has certainly helped.

I don't know about Ginobili, but Ginobili has always been good at hitting the open man/making the optimal play. I'm not worried about Ginobili ignoring Splitter.

I'm mostly worried about Neal, Green, Joseph (and maybe Anderson if he seems any play time with Splitter, though this is doubtful) ignoring Splitter, but I'm glad Pop called them out on it during that time out.
