Spurs vs Nets - Game Blog

Isnt it odd that theres a thread sort of complaining about Nick, and then he starts playing well (as far as i can tell from just the stats) and hits the 3!

Maybe, before every game we should start 12 or so different threads, 1 for each player (and probably pop too) - and it might light a fire under their bums... you know, just to be safe.

Manu with 10.......

[bendmz]

Bruce !!!!!!!!!

[ShoogarBear]

correct me if I'm wrong

but, i think VC has not made a single shot or FG in the 2nd Q.

Well, you're definitely wrong now

[Warlord23]

Bruce with 5 assists too!

[Manu20]

Spurs with 10 turnovers at the half!

[loveforthegame]

Who's been guarding Carter when Bowen isn't in the game? Are they doing a decent job or is Carter just missing with visions of Bruce in his head?

[boutons_]

Spurs shooting 59% vs 39%,
RBs 22 - 15
3Gs 6/10!!
.... looks like blowout, but
Spurs up by only 8 at the half.


Poor Tony, he has absolutely no feel in his FTs.

Nets concentrating on Tim, and it's working: only 6 pts and 3 RBs, 4 T0s.

[milkyway21]

VC-the pussy 6-16 (37%FG).

3 pts in the 2nd Q(?)

[milkyway21]

the Nets are killing the Spurs on fastbreaks1-7Nets.

try the 2003 finals setplay, Pops.

[exstatic]

Carter is just throwing up ridiculous .

[Rummpd]

Still all in all a fair first half with the stupid fouls called on the Spurs.

[milkyway21]

BTW, this Brown's NY team is starting to gel huh?

first, they tortured the Suns w/ that famous win in 3 OTs, maybe one of the classic games this season,

then, tonight they just nipped Cleveland.

so Marbury 19 pts; 7 asst/game, finally understand Coach Larry?

[DieMrBond]

Excuse my ignorance, but ive always been puzzled by this - but does a 3G attempt, count towards the FG attempts, or are they seperate?

for example, if Manu shoots 3/6 from 3, and 6 from 12 for FG, does that mean he only scored 3 other 2pt FG's, along with his 3 3FG's?

[Warlord23]

How many times has Parker's pocket been picked already??
Tim and Tony with 5 TOs each ... compared to 3 for the entire Nets team

[loveforthegame]

That was a pitiful stretch.

[CubanMustGo]

for example, if Manu shoots 3/6 from 3, and 6 from 12 for FG, does that mean he only scored 3 other 2pt FG's, along with his 3 3FG's?

Yep.

[Rummpd]

They count in FG% (but are also analysed separetely to just look at 3 point%)

There is a measure of points per FG attempt which is a good stat to look at to evaluate perimeter players more fairly.

[milkyway21]

3 is a field goal, so it is counted as one.

IMO. not so sure though...

[Rummpd]

Duncan hacked and no call. Tie game gave up 11 point lead and no mas.
