Game Thoughts: Spurs @ Bucks Mar. 1

[Manu-of-steel]

nice game spurs. thanx timvp

[whottt]

I didn't understand what you meant.

I know you didn't...but why must I suffer because of that?

[some_user86]

I failed to coherently communicate with another human being.

What else is new, whottt?

Like I said before the game, I like the strides Bogut is taking to improve.

Nice to see Parker finding his groove again.

Sometimes it's tough to get up for sub-par teams.

You people seem surprised that Stoudamire has supplanted Vaughn. I told you that when the Spurs were rumored to get Stoudamire.

Neither PG will see significant minutes in the playoffs, as Manu and Barry will bring the ball up, which is why Manu needs to go back to the bench at some point.

33 minutes for both Duncan and Ginobili...I'll take that any game in March in a win

Doubtful. Pop only goes to Manu or Barry at point in emergency situations. Between Stoudamire and Vaughn, Pop will likely find at least one of the two playing well enough to avoid any emergencies.

Ginobili is better at shooting guard and it'd be suicide to play Barry post-calf injuries against point guards.

I'd just be happy if Brent comes back and shoots like he did against the lakers pre injury.

Udoka on D seems to be a big more of a ball hawk than Bowen. He like to get into the passing lanes like Manu does, he just doesn't do it as frequently. As was already mentioned, he also seems to be a better post defender despite not having the height of Bowen. On perimeter D, he's not even close to Bowen, but he's an acceptable alternative. Kind of an interesting mix.

Saw most of the same things timvp did. Most notably, I liked the way that Parker got himself in the groove, but more importantly how he was able to see the floor and get others involved. I was VERY encouraged by Tony's play last night.

Manu is incredible. He has really developed that jumpshot, especially his step-back move. Once he steps back and creates space from the defender, he is able to measure the shot with a long release and nail it....almost like it's in slow motion.

One more thing...

FWIW, Michael Redd has a player option in 2010....Master Plan baby!

[SpurAddict561]

Manu is on fire lately..I'm loving it.

Glad we finally got the monkey that is Milwaukee at home off our back.

[Agloco]

I've got to believe that the Spurs are happy with this one considering Timmy got abused by Bogut all night. We got lucky. For some reason the plays like he's heading to the HOF against us. What's that all about anyway?

I'm just glad he missed the tip in at the end of regulation (which would have been a travesty considering he mauled Timmy to get to it....). Dunno if anyone else noticed Timmy walking off the court with a not so pleased look. Horry had to console him.

It would seem that Manu is still in rhythm and Tony is back, but with a few trouble spots. His ability to get to the basket is back, however he really needs work with that jumper, and his stroke in general. He nearly cost us the game single handedly at the stripe.

Overall a good outing. I just wonder how much is in the tank tonight against NJ.

[whottt]

I'm a stupid ing idiot that mentally inserts the word "tonight" into peoples posts and then answers them with redundant quotes and then questions the reading ability of orginal questioner whose post I mentally inserted the word "tonight into", for not seeing the original anwser to a question he wasn't asking.

Either that, or I think I'm one of the "elite" who understand what the word "tonight" means.

This is what I have brought to this thread and conversation. I am stupid see me post.

[some_user86]

I am a ing jackass who can't see that my post could have a double meaning. I love to hear myself rant, and I've got a bone to pick with everyone.

[timvp]

some_user86 bringing the fire. Nice.

[whottt]

Even though, nowhere in whottt's original post was the word tonight, and timvp had already answered what he thought of Udoka's defense "tonight"....

I still stupidly ing concluded that was whottt was asking about Udoka's defense "tonight", even though that question had already been answered, and the word "tonight" was nowhere in whottt's post.


In short, I pulled a conclusion completely out of my own ass due to my own stupidity and lack of logic.

Fact: Timvp had answered the specifics of Udoka's D "tonight"
Fact: Whottt's post did not contain the word "tonight"

Fact, I somehow still stupidly ing concluded that whottt's question was about "tonight".



In short, this whole conversation is because I thought whottt didn't read the original post, even though there was no evidence from which to draw that conclusion.

I drew a stupid conclusion.
I posted a stupid response to my own stupid conclusion.
And I am stupidly trying to blame whottt for it.

[whottt]

Fact: Timvp posted his thoughts on Udoka's D for the specific game.
Fact: Nowhere in whottt's post was anything to indicate he was asking for his thoughts on Udoka's D for this specific game.

Logical Conclusions:

A. Since timvp had already answered what he thought of Udoka's D, it must be his overall d since integrating himself to the team.



Why?

Obviously....since I knew timvp feels that Udoka has integrated himself into the team, and is playing as if he has been here for a long time, I obviously read the part of his post concerning Udoka...and his D in this specific game.


Yet still you concluded I didn't...

When in fact I did...and there is evidence within my post to clearly indicate that I did.


I read the post...you concluded I didn't...even though there was nothing to indicate that, and substantial evidence that I had...you were wrong.

You drew the stupid ing conclusion, idiot...

[ducks]

Perhaps most noteworthy was the fact that he was 4-for-5 on jumpers during the game,
