The Magic have been struggling lately. If we can hit the 3s, we win easily.
i'm looking at the box score for the Nuggets/Spurs game since i missed the game and i can't believe Tony & Manu played 35 mins each. Tim's minutes are okay @ 27 mins but i'm a little worried since we have to travel to ORL and be on the court again in less than 24 hours.

Tony played 35 minutes? That's hard to believe since he really didn't do much tonight. He shouldn't be tired because he sure didn't play very hard.
And our young bench guys will still be pumped from this game tonight - hopefully that translates into playing with energy and agressiveness.
It will be a good test for us, should be fun.
george isnt traveling to ORL
lol, short road trip to me is a game at DAL, OKC, NOH etc etc.
It's going to be a tough game... the Magic were struggling with their new pieces but they really started to turn it on at the end of the Mavs game, just not in time. With a couple days of practice behind them and hungry for a win, they could surprise us.
Wrong. They've lost 8 of 9 and are going to be playing with a chip on their shoulder. You can talk about them being a team in transition or flux, but they have too much talent to lose that much. Any team that's lost 8 of 9 is due to win, especially one that's still one of the better teams in the league.
The Spurs are going to have tired legs, which makes a good three-point shooting game unlikely. It's going to be a grind, like last Thursday against the Nuggets. Parker is going to need to take control of the offense early because Ginobili could very well struggle coming off back to back 36 minute games and Duncan is going to have his hands full wrestling Howard.
This is where the lack of another reliable wing hurts this team. Ginobili is forced to play too many minutes, because they can't count on Udoka to provide even 4-6 just-don't-kill-us minutes per game while Hill and Anderson are out. They need to find someone who's at least in the neighborhood of decent to take that spot.
@ LA, @ Boston, @ Dallas, and potentially @ Miami are the only test games all season.
He played the whole 3rd...
I'm worried about our backcourt right now, with Hill and Anderson out, Tony and Manu have had too much load.
Thanks god we have Neal...![]()
We'll see...but it's clear that the perimeter game, not the inside game, will be the deciding factor tomorrow night.
Expect a LOAD of 3-point attempts.
How much do these guys get payed again?
I expect a loss tomorrow. I can deal with it since we got a sweet comeback tonight.
easily, huh? Just like that?
This ain't there first RODEO! They can DO IT!
Yup...just...like...that.![]()
I don't want to hear this . I don't care how many minutes Tony played tonight. He played like absolute garbage. He needs to redeem himself tomorrow.
Tim decided to wear his cement sneakers tonight. He barely broke a sweat. Just terrible.
No excuses.
Didn't know it was that easy.
It will be if we can hit from the perimeter. If not, we'll get blown out.
What percentage do the Spurs have to shoot from 3 for it to be an easy win?
Magic are due for a win with their new team.
Besides J-Rich is in the Magic now. He loves to torch our team so I expect him to have a good game. Nelson is always trouble too.
Spurs have a chance though as always.
u guys should know quin is serviceable backup atm
I wonder if Tiago will play as much as he did tonight. Be a good test against Howard.
Don't worry, they have Turkoglu on their team now![]()
