Spurs @ Suns Mar. 9 - Game Blog

**boutons_** · 03-09-2008

into th face of Suns' all-deny defense, Spurs shooting ... 38%

**Kori Ellis** · 03-09-2008

Ginobili is 4-10, he's just shot some tough shots- he needs to look for more efficient ones. And I agree, Parker needs to be shooting a lot more. He's obviously brought his A game today. Thomas is trying to hard and he needs to relax and let the game come to him, you don't need to impress us against your old team, we want you here regardless.

Actually Manu is 4-for-12, but who's counting

I'm growing increasingly frustrated with TP's court vision and inability to make the pass in a pick and roll, c'mon TP

Right before I read this I edited my post.

I like how he's playing though, he missed that easy layup and a wide open three. He's taken 1 or 2 bad shots, but he is the reason the Spurs are up at the half, along with Parker.

The last two are true.

Don't be suprised though, for some reason hes very against starting Udoka wich I have zero idea why...

One solution: Stop forcing this issue and take better effin' shots

**timvp** · 03-09-2008

Got damn it I was hoping that I was wrong and the overconfident Spur Fans were right who said Shaq was done. Spur Fan has been saying Shaq has been done for every year for the last half decade and they are always wrong.

**td4mvp21** · 03-09-2008

I guess I shouldn't be too pissed, the Spurs have played rather poorly and are up 3. The Suns have played a lot better than us, I think.

**Kori Ellis** · 03-09-2008

The Spurs are fine. They just need to watch their shot selection, and step it up on D. Maybe Pop will start Udoka in place with Fin, but probably not.

I don't think Shaq is 'done'. I do question whether he can play like he is today for the duration (and compressed time frame) of a seven game series.

Manu needs to dunk or shoot the open three from now on.

**Aggie Hoopsfan** · 03-09-2008

BTW, Fin is still looking lost defensively, guarding space. WTF? Give Udoka his minutes.

And LMAO @ Amare. Thomas is punking his ass in the low post. Stoudemire has Shaq now, but he still has the basketball IQ of a brick.

You were 100% right the night this trade went down.

He looks motivate and looks in good shape.

Bad bad bad bad news.

He is against other teams, except of course when he plays us. I thought the defense has been poor against him and several of his buckets have been put back of offensive rebounds. I've seen Tim and Thomas just stand there watching him pull down rebounds. That needs to stop. On the defensive end, he's changed shots for our guards but he blatantly hacked Duncan, and to his benefit, the refs didn't call it.

Yeah thats been one of the few good things KT has brought today is getting Stoudaidiot in foul trouble.

**timaios** · 03-09-2008

M. Finley 0-4
K. Thomas 0-3
B. Bowen 0-2
R. Horry 0-2
D. Stoudamire 0-1

Role players = 0-12
