Bowen was fantastic defensively in the 4th hopefully he builds on that.
Also the pick and roll D finally figured it out in the 4th, hopefully they build on that.
Other than that, Ginobili was getting to the hole but was missing shots he normally makes.
Same with Tim Duncan.
after 2 days rest, those shots will fall easily.
plus, the game being over early sunday, will really help out for tuesday.
Hopefully the Spurs can win sunday, then take care of bidness tuesday.
you will on sunday.The biggest positive? We didn't have to listen to the screwy announcers on TNT!
But, Sean was a great change of pace.
He was right also in the fact that the Spurs had a golden oppurtunity up 10 in the second quarter to bury them, and they let it get away.
he was SO right about that.
up 35-25 you HAVE to bury those ers.
The Spurs are so good the only team that can beat them is themselves.
Seattle had some new tricks, like the p'n'r with James and beating the crap out of us on the boards, but essentially, like so many times in the season, the Spurs gave the game away to an inferior team by playing like crap. I though the Denver Game1 was the cold shower, but the Spurs can't seem to keep it up and play consistenly.
To get slaughtered on the boards (no hustle) and miss 15 FTs (a black joke) but lose by only one point shows how good the Spurs can be. Throwing in $2.50, that potential will buy you a good cup of coffee, but not a W.
Now the big pressure is on SA not to come back to SA 2-2 and start the series over again.
Bowen did not say you.
He said " Oh so close, man"
Ray got pissed
Bowen is so far into Ray's head, he can see out of his eyesockets.
I'd told User at the end of quarter #3: "I certainly hope Duncan plans on taking over in the 4th......."
Positive: They've been shooting over 80% on free throws in the playoffs....no way will they pull that 50-whatever% crap again....which is exactly why they lost, IMO.
I finally had to start putting the blanket over my head every time a Spur went to the line. I just couldn't watch it anymore.
^I hear ya, SpursWoman. Watching the Spurs clang free throws in big games is more painful than water torture.
sunday seems so far away.
pop must be giving them an earful now.
Positives: the Seattle thugs didn't seriously injure any of our Spurs, Tony Parker played great, Bowen owned Allen, a lot of tape to get the Spurs angry for next game
My postives:
~ The B.S. chant returned...and we came out and won when that happened last series
~ Timmy is rockin' the wifebeaters, and looks oh so yummy!
~ Manu and Tony didn't get seriously injured
~ Even Jack Neis was sick and tired of Ray Allen's ing
~ Bruce absolutely OWNED Ray Allen
~ Mrs. Holt actually keeps her knees together when wearing a skirt unlike Mrs. McMillian (I swear to God she was just all keeping them open for everyone to see! ON CAMERA!)
~ We usually bounce back strong after such a crapfest
~ No way does the TMT Triple Threat not take over in crunch time again.
i would rather listen to tnt announcers all year than hear one more word come out of brent musberger's mouth.
That was great!
Having talked a little provoking smack in my day I got the feeling that their little conversation started by Bowen saying "Nice shot" or something to that effect. Unfortunately Bruce wasn't facing the camera, but you could tell he said something to Ray as they were headed back up court prior to Ray Ray's sweet reply.
He said "oh so close" in a mocking manner. Tolbert said so.
Ray said you, Mother er. Who said Bowen said you?Bowen did not say you.
I think that anyone who was watching could read ol' Ray's lips on that one--it was pretty obvious. I'd give a week's salary to know what Bowen said to him to provoke that.
Yes, I believe Musberger is headed for senility. He was more annoying than Ray Ray and Fatass James combined. I was about ready to mute the TV, though I hate watching that way.
Oh, I thought you said Bruce said that....nevermind...
But Bruce told him what I said, that was why Ray got pissed.
This little rivalry is turning into something.
This is like one of those movies where the sexual tension continues to build in various scenes throughout the first hour of the movie, and the audience just knows that the two love interests are about to get it on.
I can't wait to see Ray finally flip out and throw punches.
Here are the positives:
Totally agree!!! He sounds like he should be commentating golf instead of basketball...blah!
I would take Stephen A. Smith, Greg Anthony, and Scottie Pippen calling a game before I ever want to hear Musberger talk out of his ass again.We didn't have to listen to the screwy announcers on TNT!
We LOL when Ray Allen lost it and said "FU" to Bruce. Other good moments:
* Ray Allen gets knocked on his butt when he tries to go to the basket and Ginobili is there.
* Spurs made more FG than the Sonics.
* Spurs can now win game 4 in Seattle, then finish them off at home so the fans can watch Seattle's season come to an end.
Did anyone mention we held one of the best 3-pt shooting teams to 2-16???
SOS, Seattle: Spurs Own Sonics!
"3-pt shooting teams to 2-16"
I saw the stat, but this isn't a positive, imo. Spurs shut-down the Sonics main weapon, or Sonics were just cold, and Spurs still couldn't win.
The 16 attempts is above the appx 10 attempts that the Spurs have been holding playoff teams to.
good pointDid anyone mention we held one of the best 3-pt shooting teams to 2-16???
SOS, Seattle: Spurs Own Sonics!
This way, the Spurs get a decisive victory in game 4, then close out the series at the SBC. The game can end with a modified song version of Send in the Clowns so that it now reads Send Out the Clowns, and the Spurs can rent a garbage truck from the city to carry out Trashbag james.
