Game Thread: Spurs vs. Knicks - Nov. 15, 2012 @ 7:30 PM CT

Ya, manu has been so sloppy with passing lately. Most of them seem to be passing off-balance. He seems to be trying to force it and do to much, and needs just to make a
clean pass.

[twincam]

Oh I forgot to add:

Fail #4, Why in the was Parker jacking up bricks and allowing Manu to create turnovers when he's still not 100% to contribute?

[Richie]

Manu shot 4/8 tonight and looked good driving to the basket. Offensive liability my ass. Maybe he was against the Lakers, but not tonight.

It's not his fault Tony turned into a ball-hog in the fourth quarter.

Big turnovers at important times and 1-5 from 3, mostly open shots. He was poor.

[Budkin]

We played ty in the Lakers game and won. Can't do that two games in a row and win. Game is 48 minutes.

[superjames1992]

remind me the ages of the big 3 back then?

There was no Big Three back then.

Tony was a little baby and Manu was like 25. Neither were huge contributors that season (especially Manu).

Timmy was Superman back then, though.

[Budkin]

off, Tony Parker. Punk-ass.


Hate that guy.

LOL, guys have ty nights. It happens.

[TDMVPDPOY]

duncan only took 7 shots b4 that stupid 3pt attempt....your bound to lose when his having low shot attempts...

[siraulo23]

ST hates parker now

tbh he did chuck a bit too much

[Darius Bieber]

The Spurs started the season 6-4 in 2002-2003.................

True but look what we had in 2003.

A young thug in Jackson.
A real defense.
A superstar stopper in Bruce Bowen. I'd love to see him (in his prime) defending Durant. Durant would have no chance in .
A younger and more athletic big three.
Speedy Claxton to take control.

[MI21]

Tony looked like Westbrook out there in the 4th.. That would be one of his worst quarters ever.

Manu was really bad too, he just looks so slow..

[superjames1992]

Big turnovers at important times and 1-5 from 3, mostly open shots. He was poor.

I agree. He's not an offensive liability, though. I have faith that he'll come through eventually.

Manu always turns the ball over more than we'd like, but he has been especially bad this season. He has to start hitting threes, though. That has become a huge part of his game as he's grown older.

[The_Worlds_finest]

Jason Kidd is a monster on that team. When Amare comes back look out. Spurs need to do something with Bonner.

its not just the chucking, its the stupid hero ball bull he does in games when its not needed just to statpad his production...dude is a fkn scrub from day 1

[BatManu20]

The irony that the Spurs starting sucking ass the minute Splitter left the game is almost incomprehensible enough to make my head explode. Give the Knicks credit for knocking down big shots, but the Spurs choked big time in this one.

[timvp]

After taking a deep breath ........ this game should be a good learning tool. You can't go into coast mode with time still left on the clock. Duncan needs touches when he's playing this well. Just have to play smarter in the fourth.




And props to the Knicks. They played a damn good game.

[HI-FI]

Manu is still looking like an assistant coach who throws a jersey on at the last minute. I really hope he heals up enough for this season.

[SA210]

I hope Pop gets an F- for the last 4 minutes or so

[Manu-20]

Obviously im really pissed off right now at the spurs choke job but it's not like they cant get better they were playing awesome D and had a 12 point lead over one of the tops teams in the league right now and just shat the bed still wont change the fact im pissed off right now but this game may help the spurs more than it would if they had won playing like again.

[KaiRMD1]

Fail #1, why in the would you keep firing three point attempts when you're not making them during the game?
Fail #2, why in the did Popovich bring the starters out when the bench produced the double digit lead?
Fail #3, why in the do you allow the opponent to continuously shoot three pointers, and allow them to make them?

I was thinking all of these during the game

[Sean Cagney]

I hate Kidd, that always scores on us no matter what team he is on. ing alien

You are right that OLD does, in Dallas he would hit sime timely shots against us as well. NJ well we won the finals over his team, ever since then I think he has been gifted some back for that and GOD gave him some skill to be able to hit shots on the Spurs. I hate playing against him.

This team should be past the moral victories and learned lessons tbh. They pride themselves on veteran leadership, yet thier veterans are the one's that blew the game in the 4th.


And props to the Knicks. They played a damn good game.

They've been giving up leads down the late stretch of the games forever. It's in their DNA. They will never learn.

And props to the Knicks. They played a damn good game.

[Chomag]

This is the worst and slowest I have ever seen Manu play. I hope it's all from ailing injuries more then his game falling off a cliff. He is at that age when it happens however....

we all seen this from the last 2 seasons in the playoffs, when duncan is in hot mode, he gets subbed, only to return in the 2nd half with 2 shot attempts setup for him...its fkn pathetic hero ball thats costing us games....give the ball to the hot hand, not the hand that thinks he can fkn shoot

The only problem is that said player 'can't' shoot. If Tony's drives aren't working for him, then he starts taking jumpshots. When he starts taking jumpshots, you know the Spurs will lose.
