Game Blog: 12/11 - Spurs vs. Bobcats

[benefactor]

Just got done watching it...how the do we hold the Bobcats to 85 points while committing 28 turnovers? lmao.

This team is getting closer. I loved how they shook off the bad 3rd quarter to refocus and lock them down for the win...and a blowout win at that. I was expecting the game to stay much closer.

We are seeing flashes of what this team can be. Let's keep sanding down them rough edges....

Good game. Larry Brown always puts interesting challenges out there. This Bobcats team will win a bunch of games if they listen to their coach. He started to soft double Manu in the second half after getting burned in the first. He threw a full court press for stretches that really got us confused out there. Obviously, with all the new guys, it's hard to figure out where we're going to get our shot out when a play breaks.

This Spurs team is starting to resemble the 2003 team, that was also incredibly talented, and use to blow 20 point leads incredibly, only to end up winning the games with solid defense at the end.
Just imagine what this would have been if we only turned it over half the time!

Outside of half eaten hotdogs, the only thing to come out of your mouth are stupid snarky comments. Learn to just shut the up already.

Happy Spurs got the win. Though I do hope it's not fools gold.

[angelbelow]

Solid win but we still have A LOT of work to do.

[The Truth #6]

This game was so bad there were moments I considered cheering for the Bobcats. I give Pop respect for trying to right this lost ship, but I'm not sure if there's any easy way to make sense of this team right now.

What confused me most about Pop tonight was his insistence in the second half to keep running at the Bobcats. Perhaps he thought we could get easy points, but his insistence to push the pace came at about the same time I thought that the Spurs should quit trying to run at all right now. Just slow it down. I don't think I've ever seen a worse fast breaking team in my life. It's like a turnover every other time. College teams can throw better outlet passes than this. This team has no idea how to run a fast break . It's stunning how bad we are at it. Even Tim didn't know what he was doing tonight. Parker got assists but was absolutely awful in directing the team. I see no sense of purpose from him half the time. There was what seemed like a 5 minute stretch in the second half where Mason didn't touch the ball once, and he was open on the three point line with no one within ten feet of him. Instead everyone else kept barreling down the lane getting stripped or making some god awful pass.

I think the team is in shock with the realization that they aren't that good right now.

It was great to see Dice awake from his slumber - this at least convinces me he can turn it up a notch still, and I have faith he will be a contributor in the postseason.

Anyway - not sure why Blair didn't play. I sense some stupid mind games from Pop trying to crush his confidence.

This was a win but felt like a blowout loss.

Manu was did good and nice to see Parker having so much assists again. But his scoring was pretty low. Anyway, it was a win, that's what counts.

I never thought I can see the day when Parker's averaging 10 assists
