My 6-3 is starting to look like a worst-case scenario...
lol at the pussies who set the bar low so they wouldn't feel disappointed.
My 6-3 is starting to look like a worst-case scenario...
It's the forum meme.
I still believe in 9-0 but these next few games are gonna be real tests. Toronto just lost a heartbreaker at home thanks to Linsanity and they're gonna be pissed. Plus we'll be on the 2nd night of a back to back.
Then Saturday doesn't get any easier as I'm sure the L.A. refs are going to give the Clips 50 free throws.
Then Utah in Utah...real tough.
Portland as they are going to try and rally around each other after Aldrige's injury, and finally the Nuggs with Karl always knowing how to play Pop's matchup game better than Pop.
9-0 looks tough...but we can do it! GSG
20-9...toughest schedule in the league so far...damn...
its the hole raptors man, nothing to be scared about
have no business losing the game against the clippers since we have a break....
hack a blake coming up..
Those last three games are very winnable. UTA, POR, and DEN will all be on the ends of b2bs against very tough western conference teams (all three currently playoff teams). The POR game will be the toughest due to being a b2b for the Spurs, but they can win it.
Spurs catch a break with Aldridge hurt. If he can't play, they should win that game. He normally beasts on the Spurs.
I think Toronto game will still be a tough one but if Pop would milk Splitter in that one, they should be fine. Would be nice to get Timmy/Tony a break with a blowout though.
You have to think they will lose one of @Utah (referees) or @Denver (al ude) but I'm thinking 7-2 is probably worst case scenario now which in this condensed season is an amazing effort.
Games against the Raptors were pretty high scoring affairs the last two seasons, weren't they? The Toronto crowd is very enthusiastic (see Lakers and Knicks game), so I expect the Spurs to go in there calmly and take the Raptors apart efficiently before the crowd realizes what happened.
Nah, more like hack a Jordan....BG is not a great free throw shooter but he's definitely not as bad as Jordan.
G-D I love my team.
Go Spurs Go
that is all
good night
9-0
Clippers miss Billups
Denver is fading
clean sweep
I like it! Why the heck not?
they better go 7-2 or something. if they go 9-0 every RRT from now until the end of time will be a letdown.
I disagree. I think myself and all the other fans who pegged 9-0 this year did it because the Spurs are peaking.
Duncan is playing out of his mind considering his age/mileage
Parker has miraculously turned it around and is now playing like the Spurs MVP
Splitter is playing wayyyyyyy over his head
Manu is back
Random role players who nobody besides Spur fans can name are stepping up big (Green, Leonard, Neal)
Jefferson is being ignored like he should be
IMO this is the only 9-0 I see happening for awhile. Like others have stated, the opponents have been tired b/c of the schedule and this team has a system that would naturally succeed in a lockout season like this. And there is no dominant team to play like a 3-peat Phil Jackson Lakers or unstoppable Dirk Mavs squad in our way toward 9-0.
Oh and Linsanity is keeping us under the radar. Thank you very much!
Griffin went 2-7 or something at the line against the mavs and basically lost them the game. He was so afraid to go to the line that he threw a terrible quick pass to get rid of the ball that resulted in a TO and sealed the deal.
Nice, so the Spurs will have two options to kill the Clips' momentum!
Please elaborate. What's Splitter doing now that he hasn't shown he could do in the past (in Europe) that suggests that he's "playing way over his head?"
Splitter's been putting up these kinds of numbers with the supreme efficiency for years in the Euroleague.
The only aspect of Splitter's game where you could maybe argue that he's "playing way over his head" is his unusually high free throw percentage this year. He's never shot over 65.8% (free throws) in the euroleague.
Nobody (except maybe Shaq in his prime) shoots 70%. The league will watch some tape and figure him out.
He's actually shooting 62.3%, not exactly out on the edge of the Bell curve for a big man with post moves and P'n'R skills.
In his last 5 seasons in Europe, Splitter shot 65.9%, 64.5%, 60.7%, 64%, and 58.6% while averaging 14, 13.7, 11, and 10.2 points respectively per game (he also had a 66.8% run in '02-'03).
Sure, the Euroleague is no NBA, but I'd hardly call 62.3% "playing way over his head" for a guy who gets layups and shoots within 1-3 feet of the rim the vast majority of the time (like Shaq).
Dr. Evil or anti-spurs fan?
seriously fellas, i dont think anyone can figure out splitter besides himself....
dream shake down low is unstoppable
PNR his very effective
whats most impressive about his offensive game, his always looking for easy 2pts then forcing up when its not needed....
if he wasnt that good, the bench wouldnt be running alot of PNR for him
