Spurs vs. Magic April 13th -- Game Blog

[TDfan2007]

That's a of a night.......let alone a first half performance.

Tim is the most complete big man in the game. He can do it all offensively and defensively. Pretty much the only thing he can't do is shoot FT's consistently. His performance tonight is what everyone expected, only amplified a bit.

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.

In the past two weeks, Orlando has beaten Dallas, Detroit, and Miami. They are very capable of "keeping it up."

[HeyIt'sMe]

The Spurs were tied at the half with Orlando in December. Pop will make adjustments.

Orlando isn't the same team you saw in December. Trading Steve Francis was the best thing that ever happened to this franchise.

None of those teams can play our type of D. Detroit is close, but the Spurs are the best defensive team in the league, so ya, I think it's safe to say that the Spurs will turn up the D and slow down Orlando in the second half.

They're still gonna finish this game with an L, just like the team we saw in December.

The box score said that Francis did not play that night so there should be no chemistry problem for our team tonight.

Yeah, and Dwight Howard is a scrub The Spurs very well could win, I can't predict the future.

Well, he may not be a scrub, but tonight he will be a loser.

Very debatable.

I may argue that SA is the more consistent D. You know what to expect from them night in-night out.

Whereas I think Detroits D is actually better....they just tend to display it in spurts when needed. In years past, we were more consistent......because our offensive was a little ragged, and we had to constantly bring that pressure to secure victories.

Now our offense actually carries the day more often than not.

IMO when Detroit shows their Defensive muscle, ther is no one in the L that comes close.

Tim back to business.

[Vashner]

Arghhhhhhhhhh Engage the anti choke device!

[Pistons < Spurs]

Let's go Spurs, I need a 10 point victory!

[Spurologist]

New coach = clean slate. Same story.

you get the feeling that it's not the coaches at fault here.

hmmm care to ask Darko?

[PerforatedNeckline]

according to cbs, tony has 5 turnovers and one assist. i'm not hating, i'm just saying: its a concern.

[FreshPrince22]

hmmm care to ask Darko?

Ask him what? When 2 completely OPPOSITE coaches come to the same exact conclusion about a player, it's a little hard to ignore. Darko is the common denomenator in this equation.

[TDfan2007]

jeez we're getting mauled on D.
