Ibaka misses practice, expects to play G4

[cd021]

Wtf is he talking about

thats not even a good or original analogy

We got to hammer these clowns

ICRAPA needs to be tested for PED's.

OKC and ICRAPA are DONE. Pop will turn this Congo Clown into an afterthought. If Pop can fairly neutralize a team with both Dirk AND Monta Ellis in the same game, He can eliminate ICRAPA.

KD and Pestbrook can shoot their 30 shots each, make their 9-10, but we'll go back to basics tomorrow and take away their FT's. That 22 OKC FT disparity in the 3rd Q was an embarrassment to the Officials, the NBA and any remaining integrity and the credulity of the shady officiating that perpetuates.

Spurs are used to playing above the shady officiating. We'll overcome and win G4 tomorrow. Because we want it and we deserve it.

NBC working on a pilot featuring Ibaka as the bonic man

NBC executives -"We feel this could be a great opportunity to tell your story, can you act?"
Serge-"I shouldn't have a problem with that"

During the practice presser today, this one guy was asking virtually everybody on the Spurs team and coaching staff "what do you want to say to someone who has had so much 'adversity' in his life…you know, lots of war in the Congo when he was growing up, not really knowing even today if he has 18 or 20 brothers and sisters".

They asked virtually everybody that.

How embarrassing...asked Tim/Kawhi about the adversity in Ibaka's life when these guys have lost their mom/dad in their early teens...

Tim last his when he was in the pros correct? I remember him missing a playoff game in 02 for one? I think it was against Seattle but yes he probably lost the other in his teens. Kawhi though you know the story, you are correct how can they ask them about this when they lost their parents! That has to be devistating at a young age.

My Malik filled in for Timmy and dropped 28/13 (they lost though). Drob was out too.

Next game Timmy had a near triple double.

[testies]

What a difference in at ude... Eventhough he is a grade A kunt, this dude played even during garbage time, meanwhile Pop pulls the plug with like 9 minutes left, for crying out loud

And that is considering that we rest these s for the entire season, so why the would you rest them with 9 minutes left on the most important game of the season?

And then you complain in press conference that the team lacked a "step on their necks" at ude, what the do you want them to do with that gotish coaching

[Horry Hipcheck]

Manu said something like:

I have great respect for anyone who has been through adversity and some of us don't know what that is...but being down 0-two is NOT adversity."

I just absolutely loved it!

I need the Spurs to beat those ers more than ever before simply for that gem from Manu.

I wish journalist would ask these questions

Tim lost his mother when he was like 13. Breast cancer, I think. That is when he stopped training as a swimmer (plus the pool where he swam was destroyed in a hurricane) and started working on basketball skills. The person who died when he was a pro was a father-figure. I just can't remember whether it was his biological father or not. But I know that both parents are gone.

[Shastafarian]

His mother died the day before his 14th birthday and his father died in 2002.

[Seventyniner]

To be fair about the military thing, Ibaka is probably referring to the Congo's army and not that of the US. The Memorial Day stuff is just a coincidence.

[Budkin]

We sit our big 3 for no reason during the regular season but for rest and afraid they are to fragile and might get hurt,,,but people laughing at this dude coming back from injury early and not practicing today?

Ibaka is 24 years old.

Nobody beats a congolese's disgrace. Just the fact of being congolese itself is a big disgrace. Probably his mother had 30 born dead babies before him, lost another 20 due to starving, 15 by some sickness and he is the result of a grupal rape by a gang of muslim terrorists.

But seriously, lost his mother early and had his father imprisoned in the Congo's civil war.

[Beaverfuzz]

Ibaka doesn't need to practice, he needs to be running lines to get back into shape.

Dude, the way the refs were calling that game there was a 0% of us winning, seriously, it was done and Pop wanted to save some legs for game 4

[look_at_g_shred]

You know when RW hit that half court shot, you should've known it was over.

[Baseline]

When they took Patty's corner three away on that horrifically ridiculous call, I knew the League had OKC winning this game. That was the worst call I've seen in the NBA since they allowed Fisher's .04 shot to count.

[Shastafarian]

It's not .04. That would be four one hundredths. It was four tenths of a second left. That would be 0.4

Sometimes you have to play it out just to prevent them from getting confident. I bet you they're more confident than if we had forced them to actually earn that win.
