Spurs @ Sixers Mar. 15 - Game Blog

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Also, the bounce of the ball has been horrible lately... like just then.

Finley , what is he doing on Offense????

[Spurs Brazil]

We have no bench

As soon one of the big 3 sit our team is done

Am I the only one who thinks this feels like the New Orleans game? (Worst $50 I spent in a long time, BTW. I actually enjoyed the Hornets fans booing and all -- they seem to really care about their team.)

But doesn't this game "feel" similar -- the Silver & Black playing hard, and valiantly keeping it close despite bad breaks, poor officiating, and overall better play by the opponent? And then came the 4th, when it fell apart ...

hmm, lemme guess, overdribbling and putting up an 18-foot fadeaway?

[WalterBenitez]

Is anybody going to mention his hands?

I'd mention his balls

[loveforthegame]

Fin's only taken 3 shots so he isn't doing much on offense.

[greens]

I don't like this Spurs line up at the moment...Other than Manu, who else is going to score? TD/TP/Bruce on the bench...

[Spurs Brazil]

JV scores

NOW bonner hits at the buzzer

[remingtonbo2001]

Thank you Matthew Bonner.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Setup Vaughn for the 3 point shot. That's exactly what we need.

What do you call that brilliant play...10 DOWN.

Manu would hav been a bad player if he just shot a desperation shot completely ignoring vaughn, but yeah, we need to not put ourselves in a position where Vaughn has to take a three.

[ducks]

spurs are giving up to many points

YESS! Bonner finally makes a buzzer beater!!

[Don Quixote]

I'd mention his balls

By that, I assume you mean the basketballs he keeps in his closet, always ready for a game with David Robinson in his driveway.

[ricketts]

see that smile on bonners face after he made the 3. running up to pop " i told ya i could do it. i knew i could."

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I actually don't mind vaughn's layups. He has improved at those, it's his jump shot that kills me.

Especially considering that he gets more wide open jump shots than any other guard in NBA history.

Quite right. The defense has not shown up so far tonight.

[boutons_]

How can the defending champs, same crew, suck so bad for so long?

5 pts from the bench in 36 minutes. ridiculous

Bonners such a Rudy-like teammate. The quintessential scrub

[Creation88]

our D or lack thereof is what's killing us.

at the beginning of the game, this was NOT a championship caliber team..
we got a lot of work to do to get what is essentially the SAME frickin' Lineup back into a championship form.

[Warlord23]

Well our D was good as nonexistent this quarter. The Sixers got whatever they wanted inside and off pick-n-roll jumpers. And they're abusing the weakest link in the D, be it Vaughn or TP. C'mon Pop, mix in some zone there, let's see if they adjust
