not a game without tims signature on it
This was not Detroit Darko. The Darko we saw didn't give a damn. He got real minutes at the beginning of the year, but it wasn't enough. He wasn't content with 7-8 minutes of real time, and it showed on the court. That's why his minutes evaporated after 2-3 weeks. Now that he's given free reign and there's no pressure to perform he's trying and playing well.
something tells me that pop's half-time speech is going to be pretty light on the high-fives for tim and pretty heavy on the shrieking about this defense.
TD with TD today?
Spurs must get the D back. Well if they have any D this year
I'm going to sleep - good night people and GO SPURS GO!
Damn magic are playing tuff where the is your defence??
he's got 22pts 6 rebounds 5assists, on pace to a triple-double
Damnit. The Spurs are scoring but just can't get any stops.
maybe if LB didn't help establish him as the human victory cigar, he would have shown more effort. Wonder what it was like for him to answer those questions buy the media and the general public. That might be a clue to his effort or lack=thereof
Ahem.
INTERIOR DEFENSE.
Ahem.
ANY DEFENSE.
Since I'm a Magic fan too it's nice to see them play well.... but not against the Spurs. Spurs gotta blow this one open in the second half.
Ditto Darko in Detroit played like a scared little kid he would foul then turn the ball over then brick a shot.
57%
When I wake up I hope it will be 37%
this tim looks promising as we head into the post-season

There's no way that Orlando can keep this up. I expect the Spurs to tighten up the D in the second half and run away with it.
I know pop is insistant of lowering tp's minutes, but he has to play a lot more in the 2nd half than the 1st for the spurs to win. Any other help from someone not name td or tp might help.
What did Timmy take before the game? I need some of that!
OK different argument for a different thread, but If I was Darko in year 3, I too would not be content w 7-8 minutes.
I completely understand why he wasn't happy....and yes it showed, but I do nit blame him for it.
Just as fans and an orginization have expectations for a #2 overall pick, a #2 overall pick also has certain expectations to play.
New coach = clean slate. Same story.
I agree that LB should have played him more (the HVC thing was made up by the media. there are plenty of other players in the same situation), but when you get a new coach and the same thing happens you get the feeling that it's not the coaches at fault here.
That's a of a night.......let alone a first half performance.
I dont know what youre talkin about, but Finley had a good first half off the bench.
7-8 minutes was 7-8 minutes more than there was in the previous years. Flip said from day one that he'll give him those minutes, and then his play will determine if he got more or less minutes. Well, after 4-5 horrid (And I mean horrid) performances in a row where he just didn't look into it, those minutes disappeared.
Darko gave up on Detroit. If he gave 100% from day 1 he would be playing a big role on this team. If you think he in anyway "Earned" minutes here you're crazy. Any minutes he got were handed to him.
The Spurs were tied at the half with Orlando in December. Pop will make adjustments.
