Game blog: Spurs vs. Nets

[T Park]

Um . . .

1. NVE had no turnovers.

whoops, my bad.

Are you calling me a Manu homer

Your a homer period you in panzy

He looks up at the ceiling and sees "Malik was here".

I'd say the reason the Spurs won this game in the last 5:30 was more due to Pop going small. Not a NVE thing, per se. Prior to that time, the Spurs were getting a lot of their chances off TP penetrations and when Manu was the other guard, he had some bad turnovers on hurried passes trying to get ball movement. Finley wasn't moving well enough to get open very often.

Pop went small and that allowed two playmakers to create chances (TP and NVE) and Manu playing SF able to move and open things up and draw fouls - something Fin doesn't do. Bowen was playing the 4 (really a third wing) during that time and he hit 2 very big shots. Timmy hit the boards, outworked Robinson and later Krstic in those 5 minutes and really finished well considering how sick he appeared to be.

This win was more about creating better movement with more playmakers on the floor.

sorry but NVE has HORRIFIC knees and is falling apart. i think what he did in 2003 is fantastic. unfortunately its 2006. i know he may be better in the playoffs but its been THREE YEARS which is roughly 246 nba games later to where we're at now.

He has one bum knee that is only an issue if he plays heavy minutes. Clutch is clutch. It can't be taught. You either have it, or you don't. Nick has it.

1 Steal, 4 points - 2 for 2 from the field (Thank you very much! Fantasy ), 5 rebounds and 4 blocked shots!


Nice win guys!

I think the starters played well this game and all made important contributions to the victory. NVE was the only bench player that really had a good game. I was disappointed in the play of all 3 bigs from the bench when they knew how sick Tim was.

Well I saw him go to the locker room in the 2nd and in the 4th. I'm assuming there were other times we didn't see because Pop jested that Tim had a good game "between bathroom breaks."

Apparently there were 7 trips!
