The gimmicky limitations of Smallballovich become blindingly apparent when we play a team that's focused on playing playoff intensity basketball.
Looks like Dallas is going to lose again tonight.

Last time the Spurs were behind like this was Feb 1 (excluding Portland). That was against the Rockets. Remember what happened? Halftime Rockets 52 Spurs 39. Final score
SPURS 99 rocket 91
Dont ever write this Spurs team out. Unless Pop concedes.
It's pretty sad when you've got guys injured, and other guys playing injured, and you can only give a guy like RJ 4 1/2 minutes in the first half.
Edit: NM - I thought he had 2 fouls.
I lay blame solely on RJ getting into foul trouble, making it neccessary for James Anderson to be out on the floor for 15 minutes. Anderson is a freakin' sheep, I wish they'd ship his ass out mid-game and never bring him back. I'm not scared of any team, and I sure ain't afraid to call out players that are liabilities in the way Anderson has been playing.
Overall, it's just an awkward game with TJ/Tiago trying to work themselves back in and RJ getting into foul trouble.
We always go to against "strong" teams, the reason why we won't go far in the play-offs against this season.

Never say never. I've seen stranger things. Like Bonner being our leading rebounder during one of our games early on
Oh another reason why I didn't like the signing because of his history of being injury prone. Doesn't help when hes the victim of freak accidents as well (The Al Horford incident.) But that was before the season, hes here now and he looks like a contributor. Just have to hope he remains healthy.
And Tim sucking. Hopefully the rust is gone in the 2nd half.
Chicago is a much better team and athletic, physical teams like them always give the Spurs trouble. Hopefully Spurs come out focused and bring that energy they brought to start the game.
Bulls clearly the superior team in many areas.
tell that to the CoP during the last 10 games
I hope you're being serious. It was pretty sad for him to take a shot like that in an AS game.
I really hope they come out of the half pushing the tempo. This could get away from them quickly.
I am... kobe playing with a broken nose a broken finger back injuries knees injurie....great ing warrior
Spurs have to come out strong in the third. If hey come out like usual they will be down 30 before th fourth.
Yeah, well, it's hard to argue with the injury thing. Sometimes when you're favoring an old injury, you'll wind up getting another one somewhere else. I don't know if that's got anything to do with it, but he's definitely had his problems.
Here's hoping he can stay healthy, because I really think he will be a big help come playoff time. And he's experienced enough that Pop will actually give him minutes.
Parker needs to go into super-human mode and finish the game with 30+ points and over 10 assists if we are any chance of winning. Hopefully the rust has wore off of Duncan and pray to god Blair pulls his head in.
More from the bench too. If we come out all lazy and not focused, Bulls will jump to a 20+ point lead in no time.
Blair + Duncan = 3/14 from the field. If they shoot just 40% this is basically an even game. This board is full of emos.
Pretty much..
I doubt these Spurs would win more than 1 game against any of the championship Spurs teams, in a 7-game series..
With that being said, this Spurs team can still win this game..they have the shooters to quickly negate a deficit..
Parker has more rebounds than Duncan, problem right there.
Anyone else having trouble with Time Warner? I'm getting pauses, switching from HD to normal and back. Very strange stuff.
Rebound. Rebound. Rebound. Rebound.
No, only if that happened over the course of a season (vs. one half).
