Game Blog: Spurs @ Pistons - Feb. 14

[Pistons < Spurs]

Good game guys. I didn't like the way some of the calls ... or non calls ... went down the stretch, but we really had no business even being in this one.

Good luck on the rest of the RRT.

*exhale*

Considering the collapse, it was a good win. Once the momentum has swung that violently, it's difficult to come out with a victory.

We'll see if it costs them tomorrow, though.

1 pt in 25 minutes for Manu? WTF?

What I don't understand is why they continued to play him in clutch time when he's not very good or his conditioning is still way off.

Good game... your guys showed fight... congrats to Ben

The mother er choked like a and yea It's Pop's fault.

He should've made at least one of those free throws, but every thing else is just basketball; can't count on even Neal to make that 3 whenever they're in a pinch. I'm not a Bonner apologist (I've been on his case for years now) but you can't blame this near-loss on him.

Meh... Manu still made plays... at least two flops saved our bacon and he ended up with what, 5 assists or so?

Not gonna lie, when you guys came back and took the lead, ya'll should've won then and there. I'll take the win but the Spurs really lost this game.

Calderon goes for 40 tomorrow. Book it.

You are a ray of sunshine everytime you post.

Raptors have no will.

Lakers and Knicks beatdown should have them faithless by now.

They've been tenderized for us.

[ChumpDumper]

Ah, the impotent rage of spurfan after a win.

Good read.

I just came back from the game. Thanks Detroit to make it interesting in the fourth !!

Neal has made clutch 3s multiple times for the Spurs to win games, or at least send them to OT. One in the playoffs no less. How could you doubt him!?!?!?!

notice tp bailed manu sorry ass out
last two field goals

manu SUCKS way out of shape
he should have cheered harder instead of eating the icecream

Yeah honestly when I saw that first free throw from Manu (clanked off the rim to the right or left) I knew this wasn't just about legs/conditioning. His shot is fundamentally off, and I hope it's only due to rust (and not due to his surgery).

He had a 3 point attempt or two the other game that was also misaligned with the rim.

I'm not counting the off balance behind the back dribble 3 point shot he chucked up near the end of the shot clock (this game), by the way.

Granted, he did have 7 assists (to 1 T.O.) and boasted the highest +/- on the team (+14).

I'm going to say he'll get a C+ or B- grade from timvp.

You hate Manu even when he is in his highest peak and doing his best so..... You hating on him now is no different! It is easier now though, so you can't help yourself DUCK.
