Game Blog: 3/2/09 - Spurs vs. Clippers

[SpursDynasty]

36.8% FG's for Clippers. Maybe that will move us further up the top 10 in field goal % defense.

[MarHill]

Parker will torch Kidd.

Of course he will.....

[VI_Massive]

Average game by SA, which is enough to demolish the Clips. Perfect timing for a ty team we can get healthy against after some tough games.

[Biggems]

so now that is 5 consecutive blowouts right?

3-2 in that stretch.

[bdictjames]

Any win's a good win.

pops didn't dress for the game. i think we can assume gooden is coming.

Hairston better not go back to the D-League, he's doing pretty well. Did Pops play any at all tonight? I don't remember seeing him - maybe this is a sign that we might be signing a FA.

[Spursmania]

They are inconsistent to say the least.....but the Mavs will be jacked up on their home floor and the Spurs should be ready to match their energy!

Yeah, we don't want a repeat of what happened last night.

I think Hairston sticks around as insurance on our swingmen. He won't see as many minutes when Manu's back, but I think he's proven he can be useful.

Drew: Woohoo! Im...off to....San..Antone!!!!

[Manufan909]

, he should cut into Fins minutes. At least from an incredibly small sample size, we can be relatively sure if Hairston isn't on, he will still bring solid D and hit the boards. But if Fin is having an off night, he won't do .

With our next opponents being the Dallas Mavericks, I was looking around online and noticed something. Something everyone should be aware of. And this can be very scary. Someone is hiding out and is seeking his revenge. It could happen on Wednesday...Johnny's back.



Time to dust off the crane kick.

Pop will give the veteran minutes every time.

Totally agree. When Fin has off nights-they are off. Glad he was red hot tonight though. I wish he could do that more consistently.

We were talking about this earlier today, and I think Bowen should be starting in place of Fin. Our defense can suck early in the games and we can find ourselves behind because of great wing scorers like Roy did last night. The only reasons I can think of for Pop starting Fin over Bowen are:

1. Finley sucks coming off the bench.

2. Pop is trying to save Bruce's stamina for the playoffs.

3. Pop is trying to put a more offensively-geared team on the court.

Yeah that Hairston sure stretches the defense with that lighting awesome jumper.

[FREEDOM]

{late reaction went to store) Spurs Winn!! and I win 10 Bucks..

[Manufan909]

a jumper when driving comes that naturally.

[Manufan909]

We have enough Spurs with nice jays/3s.

[Yorae]

I think 228 had a hand on making this wall possible:

Yeah how did that work out for Tony Parker in 2004.

[EricB]

We have enough Spurs with nice jays/3s.

Hmmm.

Yeah all of 4?
