Let's not get all warm and squishy because Golden State beat Dallas and whatnot.
Time to get up into this cat. He likes to shoot 3s. (7th in the NBA in 3-pt. FG% .431)
Time to D-up!

Darko will own Duncan.Time to D-up!
Darko may own Rasho not Duncan, but watch out for that David Robinson clone in Dwight Howard. This is a tougher team, the toughest team left on the Spurs schedule. You're lucky to catch them on a back-to-back where they have the travel from Toronto.
The Spurs will handle these scrubs much like they handled Ray and the Seattle SuperBabies. Hopefully Manu sucks it up and plays, but if Barry keeps playing like he did against SEA then I'm not too worried about Manu.
one, four, who gives a ? Just stay healthy.
14-2 in last 16. They aren't scrubs, they just are in too big of a hole to dig out of. It's the at ude this will be "easy" that I think is a dangerous one for the Spurs. They've beat the Pistons and Heat within the last week.
We'll see tomorrow then. But when Orlando loses, they will be just another victim of the Spurs who thought they could run with the big boys and got skunked. Oh, it'll be a good game for sure, but the Spurs can put them away no problem if they bring their A game.
Then it won't be like that Sonics game and that is all I was saying.
Orlando has been playing really well. It will be good to see DHoward.
But the Spurs know what time it is.
Spurs by 12-15 points. (Unless both Manu and Tony don't play)
Tell Timmy D to take it easy on my boy Dwight. Every time we face you guys, Howard shoots about 15% from the floor.
Actually the person Darko will own is Nazr-- just how many of Nazr's shots will Darko block??
I hope to see Rasho and Darko against each other- they're friends so that is always fun. I'm hoping Manu can play, too, so I can watch him and Hedo go at it. Lotta' love at that game tonight.
Yes sir! Spurs don't need homecourt. You'll beat the Mavs in 6 games regardless. Your gym, their gym, YMCA, or Dirk's driveway ........ Spurs are goin' to the Finals.
I've already said how much I respect the Spurs on previous threads. I feel you guys are worthy Champs. I want you guys to be very well rested. And I'll be rooting for you to make it to the Finals.
Then ................. It's on!
You guys have a good team ............ The Pistons have a good team.
Damn I can't wait!

I really like what the Magic have done. They've got a ton of kids who can play. They've got 2 bigs who were the #1 overall and #2 overall picks in their respective drafts. And they're going to have a boatload of cap room in the near future to make a run at a great wing player. They are poster children for addition by subtraction.
This game is going to be a real for the Spurs. They need to play with great focus and intensity. It would make Orlando's season to add a road win over the Champs to their late run.
It's going to be a tough game, Orlando is playing as well as anyone in the league right now. Orlando is going to be playing hungry and with a chip on its shoulder, much like Golden State played against _allas last night.
hmmm I wonder what would happen if we let Orlando beat us so that they can have a chance at obtaining the 8th seed in the East....
They've been playing well of late and with a 'win' over the Spurs they would gain enough confidence to give the Pistons some trouble in their first round match-up. (Especially if Ben goes on another childish rant during that series
I'd rather the Pistons have a tougher road to the Finals before facing a the Spurs....and if that includes not breezing by the first round against the Sixers or the Bulls... I'd take it. Orlando would enter the playoffs having some momentum and possibly take that series to 6 since they can matchup better against Detroit than the Sixers or the Bulls (despite Nocioni's play of late).
Just a thought...
Important Matchup: Jameer Nelson vs. Tony Parker. Nelson has been playing great during Orlando's recent run. I believe he scored 27 points last game. (Go Local Philly boy! by the way
is parker questionable?
There are two teams three games ahead of Orlando. No way they are going to beat both of them even if they win out.
What happened? His flu? Damn, this will be a tough game if we don't have Parker or Manu...
Current 8th seed:
Chicago at 37-41
next is:
Philadelphia at 37-41 (Chi-town owns the tie-breaker)
next is:
Orlando at 34-44
Orlando's Schedule...
at SAS
vs Phi
vs Chi
at Ind
If we help them out Orlando can finish their schedule 4-0 and end up with a 38-44 overall record.
Philly's Schedule...
at Mia
at Orl
vs NJ
at Cha
If they go 1-3 Orlando can enter as explained below.
Chicago's Schedule...
vs Was
at Mia
at Orl
vs Tor
If they go 1-3 Orlando can enter as explained below.
Orlando is 2-1 against Philly this year and 1-2 against Chicago.
Chicago currently owns the head-to-head tie-breaker against both Philadelphia and Orlando, but if the Magic win against Chicago (needed anyways to beat them out on overall record) they would hold the tie-breaker against both teams (Orlando would have a better Divisional record than either Philly or Chicago)....
All this says is:
If we help the Magic tonight... we might actually be helping ourselves by making Detroit's run to the finals a bit tougher.... (though not guaranteed).
None of this of course ^^^ is possible if the Magic lose tonight.
I just realized Dallas lost last night.Let's not get all warm and squishy because Golden State beat Dallas and whatnot.

Cool.
Come on SPurs..don't fuk this up!
Thanks for the loss. The Pistons just clinched homecourt throughout. One more step on "Saunders' successful season" list.
