Game Blog :: Spurs vs. Bucks :: March 1

[hitmanyr2k]

because people are saying manu saved the day because duncan and tp blew the free throws
manu had a huge mistake late to
got in early foul trouble that hurt the spurs in the first half
he was clutch with the two shots
and people were complaining tp shot to quickly but POP TOLD HIM TO
ofcourse had it gone in noone would say anything about how quick it was

waaaaah waaaah waaaaah. Does it somehow hurt you that Ginobili is getting props for saving this game? Christ, stop acting like a little .

[ducks]

Now you are sounding stupid. Manu only had 2 fouls the entire first half how did that hurt the Spurs?

Relax..if Tony made the Game winner people would say he was clutch too! Also, Manu stole the ball from Bell on the Bucks next possession he does it on both ends. But I don't want to get into a Manu vs Tony thing..ok.

Manu is the SPurs clutch player, he has the ball at the end of games and the offense goes through him so it isn't anything new.

That said Tony played fantastically tonight..he made great passes and his jumper was on tonight.

manu had 2 fouls in the first quarter I believe

[anakha]

Are you all on rag?

Spurs won.
Suns lost.
Spurs fans fighting among themselves.

Just your typical day at SpursTalk.

[Cherry]

yeah manu gets all the free shots he can do no wrong
just tp

Seriously, are you a re ?

[Deimosfobos]

Spurs fans really need to stop ing about Tony/Manu for every got damn small thing they do wrong. They are both incredible. They both need to play awesome for the Spurs to win a le. Just STFU for the rest of the season with the nagging and -for-tat talk about their faults. We are lucky to have both of them on this team. Learn how to freakin appreciate the good times. The Spurs are very, very fortunate to have a team with Tim, Manu, Tony and Bruce that can compete year in and year out. Spurs fans are damn spoiled. Respect and appreciate what they both offer.

I agree... ducks has the art of creating Tony/Manu discusions near to perfection.

[Deimosfobos]

Especially this year with the kind of season Manu is having for god's sake. Who would have thought with what he has given us already that at 30 yrs old this would be Manu's best season of his career?? I mean he is actually still getting better as a player, i don't think we have seen the best of him or Tony and Timmy is still in his prime. Some do need to appreciate it more and stop whining so much.

/Amen

[ducks]

TD and TP are going to have bad games.

[td4mvp21]

Ducks needs to shut the up, he's always starting between Gino and Parker.


Anyway, I'm glad Parker had a good offensive showing. Hopefully he's one step closer to being back to normal. Ginobili with another nice game, no surprise there. We all would have killed for this '04 and earlier, when a Duncan bad game = an automatic blowout loss.

In other news,

Phoenix is slipping

[Typhoon]

Good game, Parker and Gino played great

[T Park]

Duncan was terrible
Parker great
Manu was Manu
Udoka was good
Finley decent
Oberto Decent

Spurs W
move on to NJ.

Not a quick flight either

I hope this is where Pop starts scaling back Manu's minutes to around 30 a game. Even SuperManu needs his rest.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

I think TP is gonna explode tomorrow, i think he'll be motivated by all the talk about Harris being a Parker stopper. Tony really is a bit y and these kinds of things matter to him, that's why he plays so well against Kidd.

[NRHector]

Bucks Will Blow You Guys Out Of The Water They Have S0 Much More Talent Then Your So Called Nba Team Ray Allen Is 100 Times Better Then Duncan Parker Manu Combined 130 72 Bucks Win And The Spurs Dont Win Another Game The Rest Of The Season

you stupid idiot, you are in the wrong forum this is for BASKETBALL NOT SOCCER YOU DUMB

[Ice009]

I'm sure they are aware of it and are going to work on it. Tony needs to re-position his hand and get in the gym and shooting tons of freethrows to get comfortable again. He fell back into his original form.

btw I didn't say thank you for pointing that out to me in your earlier post Kori. You've seen the Spurs a lot more than I have and if you say his hand position is back to his original form then that is at least correctable. Do you agree with me though when I say I think he needs to take a little more time on each shot?

I get so mad because I think free throws are easy, but I guess if I were put under the same pressure as Parker is I might shoot something like 30% so I shouldn't blast him like that as it is unfair.

[marini martini]

Yeah, what NRHECTOR said!

[Kori Ellis]

Do you agree with me though when I say I think he needs to take a little more time on each shot?

Oh yeah, definitely. When he rushes, he misses even when he has good form.

[YODA]

great game, well...sorta, we did win. Timmy wa spretty pissed with the officiatiing thoughout the game, but he kept his head. Even on that last play you could see Timmy was super frustrated about the non call with the shove to his back TWICE, but because he keeps his head, he prevails.

On tony's shooting, Ive been a little worried since he came back due to his outside shotting was horrible, but tonight he was hitting his outside jumper fairly well, which confused me when he went to the line and dropped bricks. You would think if your hitting your outside shots, you would do better at the freethrow line. Oh well, Ill forgive and forget....Well, Ill forget after i see him make 5-6 in a row

Does it concerrn anyone the amount of 3's were taking. Seems like were attempting over 20 a game and thats not good for out team fg%. Anyone else want to see some more midrange shots when they have to kick it out. just because we kick it out of the blocks doesnt mean it has to be a 3 point attempt.

BTW,,,,when was the last time the Spurs blew a team out of the water and never looked back>?? Scary when u really have to think hard about it. Im hoping were playing down to the weaker teams, but worry were just getting by.

thoughts on any of this???

[YODA]

BTW KORI, you do a great job of keeping these people in line. the Signatures was a big problrm too, but seems alot better now.

[BIG z]

Hey, did anyone help notice how tempered duncan was, may be cuz of parker who could get him the ball on the pick & roll where timmy was wide open. I know timmy is one of the people that dont like to say much but tony took some bad shots at the end where he could have dished the ball over to timmy..

Timmy keeps his head, frustrated, but he keeps his head

[BIG z]

But i am pretty sure if he wasnt a team player, he would have said something to tony, to be honest tony is bit of a hog....

[Kori Ellis]

Tim was mad at the refs not at Tony.

I hear you. I know that these close games "build character" but I'd love for them to have some games where they step on the opponents' throat from start to finish.
