ugh Stephen A Smith commercials

I can't watch since I'm stuck in my office at work but I'm looking at the box score. Has Batum basically Sefolosha'd TP or something?

is doesn't seem like it, Tony is being passive and just seems like he doesn't want to shoot and when he penetrates he just brings it back out like a got.

Tbh I can't remember the last time he went under the rim and reversed it. He seems to just like running in circles.

[DBMethos]

Gotta love banging in the paint continuously with no fouls called.

[jag]

Spurs can't win with Tony being so passive. He has to force the issue

[SpursOwn]

Brutal quarter of basketball. Both teams look like they just woke up.

[Budkin]

19-19. Omg....horrible game

Gonna get smoked in 3rd. Need a big lead.

Not really. TP is still getting to spots and creating, but not taking as many shots (credit to Batum some). He's giving it up to Tim a lot in the post and Spurs are getting incredible looks, but just missing. TP is doing enough to get the offense good looks, but Batum has curbed his shooting/drives some which is surprising considering the initial game where POR switched Batum onto TP he had more drives against Batum than any other defender (didn't finish them well, but still).

You would think this ing game is in Portland with all the calls they've gotten and the lack of calls the Spurs have gotten..

[Diego20]

Ginobili should retire for the sake of the team after this season.

I guess you didn't say that in Dallas Series.

I don't think so. I think this is Pop's strategy tonight. Sometimes it is to start the game with Tony scoring, getting everyone to focus on him, then getting it to others when they focus on him. Tonight he is starting with Tim…don't know why, but it is obvious that is the tactic…Tim could have made a few at the rim and we would have been in better shape. Not sure where we are going for offense when Tim sits, though.

TP 0-2. Plz hero.

[SpurPadre]

He doesn't seem too interested in going hero right now. Wait till later, I'm guessing.

But he doesn't even have an assist and has one turnover so I'm just worried Batum has effectively taken him out of the series just like Sefolosha did in the '12 WCF.

Tony has that "I'm bored and annoyed look."
