Game Blog: Spurs @ Raptors, February 11 2009

[InK]

Rarely someone fails so completely then u managed to do today. Last shot for Manu please.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Repeat after me: Ukic is not a stiff.

Well, he's not 4th or 3rd, he's their backup (AP shifted across from the 2 to start), and he was only drafted last year (in other words, how could he be anywhere else?), so actually, no.

Yup, Ukic IS NOT a stiff.

All season I've been explaining to the cliff-jumping wankers around here (you know who you are) that we are a second half team against lesser opposition, that we'd spark in the second half, turn up the intensity and win the game. Just about every time I've been right (the exception would be Milwaukee, but they are an exception in and of themselves - they have our number somehow?!).

However, today is a danger game and I won't make the same claim I usually do. We look tired, it's the last game before the break (often a mental letdown game), and we can't do a thing right by the refs, so I see us as a 50-50 proposition to win this when usually in a game like this I'd be saying we are a lock.

It all depends on whether TP has the legs to keep penetrating, and what pop can coax out of the bench.

Fingers crossed.

Picked it yet again.

[InK]

Gah.

[td4mvp21]

Oh, what a great play! Manu driving into three people.

[Mal]

nice, lost to Raptors without Calderon and Bosh

[loveforthegame]

Pop will probably draw a play up for Finley or Bonner who haven't hit all night.

[Typhoon]

No good, game over.

[Reck]

Same old Spurs..pathetic

[sonic21]

[Brazil]

we will need a miracle

[Spurs Brazil]

[stéphane]

Now that's embarassing.

[loveforthegame]

Total crap.

[urunobili]

[tomtom]

well this is suck

[Creation88]

why the does Manu handle the ball with ticks on the clock HE NEVER COMES through in that situation.

it's always a turnover or a bad shot. .

[EricB]

we will need a miracle

?

Down 2 or 3 with 8 seconds left is a miracle?

God you people...

[Spurs Brazil]

We did a terrile job in the last 3 minutes on D. They had 2 or 3 WIDE open shots

[raspsa]

Congrats to the Raptors.. they played with passion and energy in the last few minutes and deserved this win. Spurs had their chances.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Hmm.. a Loss or at best, OT..

Consequence of Back-to-Back or a mite overconfidence?

methinks - combination of both.

Manu never comes through in the clutch?


You people are beyond re ed tonight.

Timmy 3 vs Suns, just to quote the most recent one...

[Mal]

I`m laughing on Rockets losing to Bucka or Kings... Spurs aint better...

[Ice009]

Ukic 22 points 3 assists

Parker 20 points 4 assists

huh?

me. Any re can see I was talking about the 4th quarter. Keep going to your stats though. You're starting to make me think you're not even watching this game just talking to people about Roko.

[50 cent]

The Spurs have always been horrible on back-to-back nights. Pop should have just sat Parker, Timmy, and Manu tonight.
