[nkdlunch]

Finally tightened up the D

[easjer]

16-5 run to head into the locker room with a ing LEAD!

YESSSSS!

THAT is what they have to do. Keep that up!

After a bad quarter, they make their run. They start playing D. Keep that up!

[TheSanityAnnex]

Ginobili still ing sucks though he's going to have to redeem himself like no OTHER

[spurs1990]

[NASHville]

I need another beer....make that two.

[ALVAREZ6]

you start playing defense, and things go right for you.







About ing time.

We gave up way too many open threes. The Spurs finally went on a run after turning the defense notch up a little bit. Thank god for Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, otherwise, the Spurs would be done in this series.

The reason Phoenix is not missing 3s is we're leaving them open. We need to stay home on their shooters
Dont play Elson or Vaughn any more, this is the playoffs and we have to play a smaller rotation with the guys who are contributing.
Bowen needs to D up Marion or Diaw, not Nash. Pop did put Manu on Nash in the 2nd, but he made the move a tad late
The only reason we're in this is that Amare and Thomas are in a spot of foul trouble, and Duncan is going ape

You're a fool. You don't think Pop wants them to cover the open shooters? You think that we can play our starters the entire game?

I don't get some of you. You act like if Pop doesn't recognize the fundementals.

[Spurs Brazil]

Defense = Spurs win

When our D started to play better we made our run

[Budkin]

if you ers expect nash to have a 0 point second half then you will be in for a big surprise.

I can deal with Nash getting his I just can't deal with the wide open jumpers and the lazy play.

[SpursFanFirst]

Suns' tempo again, over 50 before half.

I think the key from now on is not to turn the ball over. Ball secuirty.

Great finish to the half. Now THAT is SPURSBALL!!! Manu driving, Fin hitting a 3, and DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Yeah, the Suns got 50 that first half, but if the same Spurs team that finished that half comes out in the 2nd half, the Suns won't be scoring 50 again...I hope

[hater]

step on these mother ers. don't let them breathe

Ginobili still ing sucks though he's going to have to redeem himself like no OTHER

He's driving, not shooting Js, and stealing the ball - what else do you want from him???

, give the guy props for once, he did what we all want him to do in the 2nd Q.
