Game Blog: Spurs @ Sixers - Feb. 8

[Barfunk]

I wish Splitter would play more, but he isn't

[crc21209]

Danny Green....idiot.

[Texas_Ranger]

I'd demand a trade if I was Tiago.

[Kuestmaster]

I remember the days the spurs would not shave on their rodeo road trips... I dont know if half these guys can grow facial hair lol

I'm pretty sure Jefferson doesn't have hair, anywhere

[Fireball]

I'd demand a trade if I was Tiago.

funny ... thought exactly the same thing after looking at the box score

[Robz4000]

I'll take a 3 point lead at the half. Green should've gotten a shot off though at the buzzer. With his luck it might've went in. Only gotta do a better job of keeping Phili out of their favorite spots to shoot, they're bound to start hitting them after halftime.

[timtonymanu]

Not a bad half. Could be better though. Neither team is pulling away yet. Hopefully the Spurs have it in them to take this game.

[TDMVPDPOY]

don't get me wrong ... Bonner is playing better and better the last weeks ... but Splitter is still better

for all his negatives, bonner still contributes

as for RJ he rarely contributes and usually gets outplayed/produce by our bench and the test of them all bonner, there should be no excuse for that sort of

payin a clown 9m just to run up and down the court to make up the numbers when its always 2 on 5 on the court....

[Ice009]

Wow, you don't see that type of miss in the paint by Leonard.

Malik sounds just like Walt Frazier.

Did Malik do some radio or tv work in San Antonio? I seem to recall someone saying he stuttered a lot back then?

He seems pretty good to me.

Anyway, Pop has his mouthpiece with the EN and Tim's using Malik as his mouthpiece tonight.

You aint lyin

[Sense]

I honestly think recently Green has been hurting the Spurs more than helping... Kawhi needs to get in there.

[Barfunk]

lol "Splitter is not all that talented" - Coach Pop, paraphrased.

[Kuestmaster]

At this point I don't know what is happening in Pop's head. Blair practically only plays the first 6-7 minutes of the 1st and 3rd quarter. But he still plays Bonner a lot more than Splitter, and we make a nice run with Tiago on the floor. Please Pop, it's not a sacrilege, you won't go to for playing Tim and Tiago together... Ok, Bonner is playing not so bad lately, but Splitter is better, by a mile

[WeNeedLength]

Bonner 11 min
Blair 8 min
Splitter 6 min

I hate to ,

but come on Pop. Wake the up!

[BRs.Ganso]

Greg Popovich é um velho ranzinza e gaga

[Fireball]

RJ, Kawhi, Bonner and Green have 6 points in 55 minutes ... Splitter has 6 points in 6 minutes

[Capt Bringdown]

Turd towers 2 for 8. 9 rebounds ain't bad though.

[Ice009]

So Tiago is going to play 6:44 out of 24:00 minutes of the half?

This is getting silly. ING SILLY. Is Pop showcasing certain players?

[crc21209]

There is no reason at all that Blair should be getting more minutes than Splitter. Bonner (right now) I'm fine with because at least he's been contributing the past couple weeks....

[TDMVPDPOY]

I honestly think recently Green has been hurting the Spurs more than helping... Kawhi needs to get in there.

imo he should be playin with the bench, at leasts the bench has better ball movement and more open to look for the open man...playin with starters to many looking to score and all he does is passive on the 3pt line...

[Paranoid Pop]

Turd towers 2 for 8. 9 rebounds ain't bad though.

Blair never makes a shot on his first try, inflates the rebounds numbers.

[NASpurs]

Isn't Elnono right next to the Spurs bench? He should start a "We want Splitter" chant.

[Kuestmaster]

half time grades:
duncan B
jefferson D-
blair D
parker A-
green C-
leonard B-
neal A
splitter A
bonner B

[ElNono]

I'm here. Ecstatic we're up. Sixers is a tough team

[Robz4000]

Give Balir a C imo. He started the game playin smart, then kinda fell off...
