Game Blog: Spurs vs. Kings - 11.16.2008

FOR TIMVP
any news why Bonner all of a sudden came out to take Tollivers mins? seemed like Tolliver had to solid games then benched and the reverse with Bonner. Thought he was in Pops doghouse. My only guess is he trying to showcase him for a tradE?
{ A confused Yoda }

I think it was a s*** or get off the pot moment.
Pop needed to see where he is with Bonner going forward. Tolliver looks to move better, but not very comfortable with the outside shot yet.

Me thinks that this was not only a way to get him some more minutes, but also try to help showcase him a bit.

Pop should call a back-court trap against Beno each and every time he brings the ball up

[bdictjames]

I wonder if Ahearn at least gets some minutes today.

[byrdman31]

any one else have dish? i think they stopped the free league pass.. nba tv still works for me tho.. sucks

"Ahearn"

with NO practice? very doubtful

Maybe some garbage minutes but I doubt this probably close game will have any garbage minutes.

Still working for me...watching Dallas/NYK on MSG right now. Game is scheduled to be on channel 565.

We need to get some momentum going. Forget the split...lets get both of these.

Mavs@Knicks 112-all after 48 minutes

FSNSW just had a cool little feature about Tim.

Funny quote from Pop:

"If Tim Duncan's name doesn't come out of the hat, Gregg Popovich is the JV coach for some high school somewhere."

i hate dish.. i dont get FSN .. i need to do something about this

[bobbybob0]

I can't wait this game to start.

I'm watching suns pistons now on the suns broadcast.
Their anouncers are the worst homers I know...

Kings call on LP. Why do we get so few Spurs call games?

[bobbybob0]

Lol, flagrant II for Shaq:

"The best defender on Shaq is Shaq himsleft"

[Gino2882]

Anyway to watch? Link?

On LP Broadband it has been the home team feed in every game that I've seen so far. Has that been the case on regular LP, or no?

I'm on Dish and I am watching it right now. Not sure what the problem is.

Nope. I wish they would do it like that. I think that would be more balanced. There isn't any system to the feed we get that I can figure out. I've had it for years and it's always been like this.

Was Duncan pushing Udrih away when they greeted or just messing with him?

[lurker23]

A couple of pregame thoughts from my end:

Will Roger Mason Jr. find his shooting stroke after slumping the past few games? (My prediction: yes, 21 points for the starting SG)

Will Beno Udrih tear up his former team? (My prediction: No, George Hill will hound him, and Beno will shoot 33%)

How will Spencer Hawes do? I follow the University of Washington basketball program, and I felt that he came out at least a year too early. (My prediction: With a relatively thin front line for the Spurs, Hawes will have a good game, but still look raw at times.)

Is Martin hurt? no line for him in Friday's loss to Suns

[duncan228]

Playing with him, he was smiling.

[byrdman31]

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan better not shoot too many jumpers tonight..

[Spurtacus]

Is Martin hurt? no line for him in Friday's loss to Suns

Yes. He's been out for a week now.
