Spurs vs. Clippers March 7th -- Game Blog

[Spurologist]

Ya, that's once, but usually he always seems to play poorly during or at the end of big games or games in general. But usually in big games. And this was a big game since the Clippers are a possible 1st round opponent.

Please watch last year's playoffs before making general statements

Not good to get clobbered in March by a team that's lost twice as many games.

Spurs could end up playing the Clips in first round.

Suns will be primed and ready, having knocked off the Mavs already this week. Knocking off the Spurs without Amare and Thomas would give Suns a lot of confidence.

Lakers will be wanting revenge against the Spurs' fluke shooting %age.
Phil was right. Spurs couldn't hit their 3Gs tonight, and lose.

Tough week.

He doesn't have an obsession with being the man. He has carried this team this season with Manu and Tim struggling. He is doing what he has been told. You are so out of line it's crazy. Tim was barely on the court tonight. He really couldn't lead in shot attempts.

I don't understand how Manu only got 8 when he made 6. Anyway you cut it, two assists in 33 minutes for TP is not good.

[timvp]

Manu is still a step slow and the Clippers were daring Tony to hit a shot.

Not good but happens almost every year

True, it wasn't Tony best assist night, but to say that he is trying to be the man is flat out stupid. Tony does what the coaching staff wants him to do. Manu is not even close to all the way healthy and says he's still having trouble being aggressive as he wants to be.

I did. Every game. Can you name one instance where Tony showed up in crunch time. It was always Robert, Tim, or Manu.

[G-Nob]

this ones on pop. two mismatches ending the 3rd, causing us to spot them 10 pts going to the fourth. ain't no way we were gonna win this one even shooting like we did last night. couldn't make any stops when it counted and horry left brand alone countless times. shades of coasting. why do we have such a hard time with back to back road games? btw, we're dropping the phoenix game friday. I hate how this team quits some nights. And they screwed us out of some sleep tonight.

I don't mind tony taking a lot of shots as long as they're not jump shots. It drives me crazy when he takes jumpers all day. It really kills the offensive flow of this team.

This is a new year. Tony is completely different player than last season and has been the most consistent Spur all year. Let the playoffs get here before you rag on him for not being clutch.

Did you watch any of the Denver series, especially at Denver? Did you watch the first two games versus the Suns?

Apparently not.

This team cannot win the championship if Parker leads them in shot attempts every game. His obsession with being the man is gonna hurt us eventually. It's one thing when he has to carry the team when Tim and Manu are hurt, but if the other two are felling good, he should go back to being a passer first and the third option....

TONY SHOOT 9 ON 16 IT's very good for a point guard if you are stay in live at beginnining of third it(s tony contribution .the key of the game was the defense clippers 53% AND REBOUND WHEN A TEAM SHOOT 45% like the spurs tonight IT's not too worse for a back to back

tp doesn't needs assists to be an effective spurs. He's not a big assist-man anyway. When the bowen + FIN + rasho + nazr + horry + barry combine for 7-28 there aren't many dimes to hand out

They weren't guarding him. What do you want him to do?

[slayermin]

My observations from tonight.

Pop waited too long to Bowen on Cassell.
Barry had a couple of open looks down the stretch but didn't pull the trigger.
TD with a couple of bad fouls, especially in the first half.

The guys looked like they all went out to Spearmint Rhino after beating the Lakers.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Should be a wild finish.

Record:
Detroit 48-11
Dallas 47-13
San Antonio 47-13 (Detroit holds tiebreaker)

Games left home/away:
Detroit 13/10
Dallas 8/14
San Antonio 12/10

Games left playoff/non-playoff:
Detroit 14/9
Dallas 11/11
San Antonio 10/12

If it hadn't been for 12 3's last night, this would've been two straight!

did you mind tp hitting all those jumpers against miami this year. That must have had you boiling

[manu]

did manu dunk in this game??????????????????????????????

PLEASE SOMONE ANSWER MY QUESTION

[T Park]

Barry had a couple of open looks down the stretch but didn't pull the trigger

You could say that every game.


Barry is back to pre trade Barry again.


Pathetic.

[Spurologist]

Pop should get Barry one of those shock collar so that everytime he passes up a wide open shot he receives a nice shock.

he needs the training

spurs have 5 more B2Bs
3 Ls? 4 Ls?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

3 games with not that many left is way too much ground to make up for against detroit. i cant see detroit ing up 3 more times with us winning 3 more times on the times they lose. cuz we're gonna lose again on a night they either win or are idle. , i really wanted hca in the playoffs, we aren't gonna win a game 6&7(if we get that far) in auburn hills

[T Park]

might as well fold up the season right??

your an annoying whiny .
