Two straight possessions in the fourth, two straight Hedo missed layups.

Awesome game by Hedo Turkoglu. When the Spurs needed him the most, he came through. He was a perfect 0-for-4 in the fourth quarter, after starting the game off cold ... going 3-for-4 in the first three quarters. When he had Malik Rose isolated on the perimeter, he did the smart thing of taking two dribbles and then forcing a toe on the line 22-footer. He also was money on his patented layups down the stretch.
I can't wait until the next time they play the Magic and the Spurs can bring out the secret weapon ... HIDAYET TURKOGLU.
Awesome.

Yep, sure couldn't use a 6th man of the year who can play SF
and completely vanishes in important matches in the playoffs.
I love all these nicknames for He Does Not, such as "Hiddenyet'...![]()
No wonder Pop ran up and congratulated Hedo after the game.![]()
Probably offered him some tacos.
It is always comforting to know that there are certain things you can count on in life......family, friends, etc...but most of all that 1. Hedo cannot make a left-handed layup and 2. Steve Francis will dribble out a win for you in a close game.
Thanks to Hedo, I won some money on VBookie!!!!
Timvp, that was the funniest post I've read in a long time!

You mean like TP and Bowen and Horry and ....
Let's not use Hedo as a scapegoat for guys we like better. The whole team (outside of Devin) stunk up the playoffs last season.
Devin Brown anyone?
"The whole team (outside of Devin) stunk up the playoffs last season"
Not true. Applies only to the 4 losses to the Lakers. Prior to that, there was a 17-game Spurs streak that included 6 playoff games.
He would be great, the problem is he's only 6'5''. He's much better suited as a shooting guard. He will see minutes at the SF, but with Bowen not really that big either, the Spurs still need someone who can guard the big SF's. I'm hoping Linton can become that. BTW, does anyone know the nature of his contract?
Didn't seem to bother Pop in the fourth last night. The stretch lineup was, in height order:
Beno
Devin
Malik
Manu
Tim
They didn't seem to have any problems guarding the 6'8" Grant Hill or the 6'10" Hedo.
Athenea is very good at coming up with these names!
(my 500 post)
I know it's a minor point, but since when is Manu taller than Malik?
Manu = 6'6
Malik = 6'5
Watch the games sometime, Bronx. When you see the players next to each other during a TO or on the sideline, well, damn, Tony must have grown, too. Malik is barely taller than him anymore. It's been pretty well accepted that Malik is a true 6'5".
Congrats!!!!

TimMVP, you can't seem to get over your Hedo hatred. What, did he your mama? He's had plenty of big games for the Spurs. That shot against Rose was because the Magic needed a 3 at the time, it was reasonable. Hedo is playing well this year, he has moved on, why don't you do the same. I can't wait to see the Spurs go down again this year so I can get a kick out of watching the next scapegoat roast.
Yeah, I admit that I haven't been to a game in person in a long time (It's a long way down there). You can't tell much on my broke-ass TV.![]()
