Game Blog: Spurs vs Hawks - Jan 27

[Obstructed_View]

Do you want me find the spurs record with Casper out of the line-up??
Ever since there was word of him coming back, the spurs starting losing.. Coincidence? I don't think so...

So you are blaming him for games that he didn't play in but was simply healthy for? Please verify this for me because I've created strawman arguments that were less ludicrous.

Finally a quality win

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

1-0 in game threads!!!!

Got a long way to go to overhaul urunobili, son...

[anonoftheinternets]

great win, any update on Tp?

xrays negative ...

[DPG21920]

spurs need tp and tim to be elite. none of em are playing that great.

That is what I meant. But TD is playing elite.

[Crookshanks]

Great game - not really any boneheaded plays by the Spurs. I was very pleased with this game.

[rayray2k8]

Again, Bonner has better numbers than McDyess for the season. You're excited about a game where McDyess put up four, count 'em, FOUR rebounds.

Again..

Bonner 0-5!!!


Oh yeah, he made a shot at the end and shined in garbage time.

I think Timmy don't have trouble with short front courts. But he doesn't do well against taller Cs and PFs.

[DPG21920]

Spurs with 3 very good defensive quarters. Lets hope TP is good to go.

amare>hill

LOL yeah Ducks you are a genius.

Who the do you propose to run PG now that you boy Tony Parker is out?????????????

So you're saying trade George Hill and use who at PG? Keith Bogans, Roger Mason Jr.?

[TampaDude]

Looks like they gave Timmy credit for that extra board. Box is now showing he had 27 boards.

Yup...ESPN.com is showing 27 boards for Timmy.

[TIMMYD!]

Tim's rebound average is going to go up by about half a board.

[rayray2k8]

The game is over and it's miller time.

[TJastal]

Atlanta is a really good team too..they're much better than any of the teams that beat us in the previous 3 games..

Tonight was a great EFFORT..a lot of hustle, a lot of GOOD shots for the most part, attacking the rim..I want to see this effort every game from the Spurs..we dominated a very good team despite Duncan and Ginobili combining to go 10-36 from the field..

Hopefully they build from here..2 tough games coming up..

Holy .. ! That is DAMN impressive.

[Doe]

Great win. Timmy beasting on the boards and Hill providing plenty of energy and scoring punch. Nice to see Dice finally wake up from his slumber.

[TampaDude]

Monster game on the boards for Timmy tonight! Hill and Dice were rolling, too! Great to get a solid, quality win!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

Again..

Bonner 0-5!!!


Oh yeah, he made a shot at the end and shined in garbage time.

So all your criticism is based upon tonight's game? Is that what you're saying? I wouldn't be able to find any kind of post from you criticizing Bonner before the third quarter of tonight's game?

[Ice009]

That is certainly a valid argument. But keep in mind, if he is going to play he has to take those shots. He had to play last year because there was no one else. I doubt you see him in during those moments this year.

I will admit Matt Bonner has been great at knocking down those shots earlier in the season before he got hurt, but yeah like I said do you trust him with those in the playoffs. Maybe he has improved enough now to knock those down.

Valid point too about having no choice last season to play Bonner in the playoffs. If we keep him it doesn't mean he has to be on the court in all those situations anymore.

[boutons_deux]

Damn, Tim 5-20, stone cold

[rayray2k8]

Again, Bonner has better numbers than McDyess for the season. You're excited about a game where McDyess put up four, count 'em, FOUR rebounds.

OH ing gee! Yeah, Bonner was the one with 27 boards.. Great take.

[Ice009]

New career high for Timmy! Aw right!!!!

If you are talking regular season then it's a career high, but I am sure Tim had 31 points and 26 rebounds against LA in 2002 closing game of the series.

[Johnny RIngo]

No Small ball=Wins

what a surprise!!!

Only took pop fifty games or maybe 3 years to figure that out,.,.

I dunno. I have a feeling we're going to see a lot more of Mason/Ginobili/RJ at the 4 this season.

[Danny.Zhu]

Yahoo gave Timmy 27 boards.

[JR3]

Great defense tonight. I needed that so bad! I'm feeling a significant winning streak coming up very soon.

[ElNono]

Well TPs injury ensures that Hill stays with us. Even if Parker doesnt get injured im not sure we would trade hil unless we get a solid PG in return

I would even say trade finley for a third string PG so we can play Hill more at SG...
