Spurs play so-so and are still up 9 at the half...I'll take it.
The first 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter will decide this game. Book it.
Spurs up 9 all of a sudden at the half thanks to good defense by Bowen/Thomas/Udoka and great offense by Parker.
All this with Ginobili having 2 points in foul trouble, and Duncan scoring 14 points, but not having a good offensive rythmn.
We need to come out in the 3rd and step on their throats...
Great finish to the half
Tony played awesome
Tim played OK, he needs to take some better shots
Manu has to stay out of foul trouble
go for the jugular now that the dog is down
Great end to the half by TP, and before that the Udoka insertion and Udoka/Bowen junk defense worked wonders.
Now hopefully they can crush these mofos coming out of the break and end this once and for all.
Suns back down to shooting 39%
Spurs at 44%
When you go two deep at the pg slot and your back up is Barbosa, it's no wonder Nash is tired as .
Plus Bowen has him on straightjacket D
9 pt lead come out agressive, push it to 15 or so, stay on em guys, this is where champs are made in these moments.
First Half Stats:
Suns 39% from the floor, Spurs 44%
Spurs lead in rebounds 28-23
Spurs 12-12 in FT's, Phx 11-24
Spurs have 6 TO's to the Suns 5
Well, while I do agree with your statement, I also feel that they aren't exactly passing the ball around..Phoenix is affecting this a bit, but really just where is our passing this game? I hope Tony doesn't get wore out playing like this.
The rest of the team needs to be better involved. And Manu just may not show up tonight - it happens sometimes.
Intentional fouls have their place and time, but Pop may be falling in love with it, which is not good. Snaq definitely missed enough of them to make it worth it, but don't overdo it man.
I know what you mean, I don't think Pop should be using it as much but you have to understand that he's trying to keep Phoenix from gaining momentum. If they score 1 out of 2 every time, that's better than 2 or 3 everytime down. Even if they hit both, at least they aren't gaining momentum. That's how Phoenix beats teams-they get the momentum.
Thanks Tony for this great 1st half!
Manu, wake the up!!
Suns shoot 40% we should win
In other news, Scola is ripping up right now
lol, I couldn't resist.
Yup...the Spurs need to blow it open in the 3rd...don't give the Suns any life at all in the second half...
reminded me of that game last yr when he was 0-9 in the 1st 3 Qtrs
Same look.
This is not good for you Suns fan
Spurs better put their foot on the Sun's throats and take it tonight.
You're right. That's pretty damn funny.
