Game Blog: Spurs @ Hornets - Mar 1

[Crookshanks]

now Thornton is just padding his stats.

[Rummpd]

At least Pop is getting Malik in some - scrub time or not he needs minutes

[Supergirl]

why isn't Dice playing? Is he OK?

[ohmwrecker]

Thorton has 30 pts?! Really?!

[Spurs Brazil]

Very good win!

Announcers hating on Ian: "I've seen him warmup a lot the past 3 seasons"

[Rummpd]

Nice win.

[DPG21920]

Yawn Hornets.

[Crookshanks]

League Pass broadband is again several seconds behind - somebody posted about Hill's 3-pointer waaay before I actually saw it.

He's good. Just precautionary.

Spurs own the Hornets. Let's sweep them on Friday.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Another win against a mediocre team... meh. Better than losing I suppose.

[siraulo23]

[DesignatedT]

Pop doing nothing to change that perception

You haven't seen Thornton much, have you? Kid can SCORE.

Oh, and our defence is mostly e.

[EricB]

Solid win.

After it was cut to 5 or 7 and they put it back out to 14 it was pretty smooth the rest of the way.

The guy's energy looked good on the second night of a back to back.

The next three days off should do wonders for em.

[Dex]

At least this puts the Hornets and a division rival one game further out of the playoff chase.

Almost time to start counting steps.

WTF

Last I checked yeah winning is better than losing

Your freaking losing it.

So the kid can score, but our defense is terrible.

Which is it?


The defense on him was fine, he couldn't miss.

Rewatch the game.

[Crookshanks]

now Memphis needs to beat Portland and give us a little breathing room

[8FOR!3]

Announcing was the best thing about the whole game. They had me mad, cracking up, but mostly cracking up. "Maybe the rookies will pull another game out of their ass?" Did he really just say that? I think he did. Confirmation. Yes.

Your freaking losing it.

Last I checked you're still whining like a schoolgirl.

you freaking pussy

Rewatch the game.

This is going to be an unmatched battle of wits for the history books.

It's nitpicking, but I thought Pop played Duncan a few more minutes than was necessary, when he put him back in with just over 9 minutes remaining in the 4th. He ended up playing 34:37.

Overall, this was a solid win. What's encouraging about the past two games is that finally all of the top players seem to be playing well in the same game.
