Game 44: Spurs @ Heat, Jan 26, Noon CT

I'd like to see Manu contribute anything positively in the 2nd half, because he' at rock bottom now.

don't be silly... the entire bench was great and brought us back into this game after a 0-8 start

Ray is an emotional guy he tends to fall apart when he doesn't feel good about himself. That was one the huge reasons why he choked against Bowen because Bowen could get underneath his skin. It was also huge reason why at times he disappeared when he was in Boston because he felt KG and Pierce didn't appreciate him. Overall a very gay individual I will never forget when in '05 during the playoffs through the media he threatened Bowen by stating that he knew Stu Jackson and would voice a complaint and get him suspended.

But he took your cookie in 2013.

I really hope the injuries are a blessing in disguise. Hopefully Danny/Tiago/Kawhi get well rested and can really focus/come together.

Three of the bench were the starters, tbh

Jared Dudley for Mexican food??

TBH, the real reason the Spurs are in close range is because Spo is content (rightly so) getting Lebron/Wade plenty of rest and playing his weaker line ups. When the score gets close/tied, in comes Lebron and they get the lead back up. However, officiating has been awful and that plays a role too.

I think it's that the starters for the Spurs keep coming in and muckinh it up. I don't think Pop should play Diaw at the thre again. That provides horrible spacing.

Also, I think Cory is playing pretty well today. He should continue to start. And Ginobili and Jeffers should guard James.

Baynes and Tim occupying the same space, it's a paradox I tell ya.

[ElNono]

so what's the "moral victory" threshold here? keeping it within 10?

[Diego20]

Btw why isn't Wade starting?

We got on ABC. Victory achieved.

Boris has made several 3s... Meanwhile Cojo doesn't look good enough for the D league...

And better spacing with Jeffers ok...

Just coming off injury, can't play starters minutes. Don't want to start someone you have to sub out quickly.

Meh. Boris has been hitting the 3 quite well as of late and is getting to the rim with varying results. The reality is, if Spo played Lebron normal Lebron minutes, this one is very difficult.

[Chomag]

Well it's been pretty atrocious lately even with them so...

Manu keeping is T.O. < 8 is a moral victory for me

brb, gonna go print "We got on ABC" t-shirts

[RD2191]

Patty needs to go off.

[DMC]

Come on dude, we need an excuse. It's that our stalwart defense is injured. Otherwise we're 1st in the league on defense.

Tbh though, we are one of only two or three teams in the West keeping teams under 100 on average.

7 to go...

Not to mention Ayres was absolutely useless in triplw towers. He needs space to cut. Because he isn't shooting, he just stands there when Duncan's in the paint.

As a fan of Grantland, it looks so weird seeing Bill Simmons and Jalen Rose doing half time reports and post game reports.
