I didn't know Ian had that nice of a stroke at the line. I don't think he missed a free throw in the last game
haha now i know what it would look like if bonner caught an alley-oop haha

Bring on Dallas
he is 100 % for the season
could it have had anything to do with who the was guarding him....
Stupid Lakers...no compe ion at all.
Not complaining though.I'll take the easy W.
I don't think so. He had some pretty weakass attempts. I hardly saw him use any of his post moves on any of the bigs.could it have had anything to do with who the was guarding him....
Kobe was the one who blocked the out of him. And then Ronny Turiaf??
Tim was just weaksauce tonight, he could have tore them apart if he had a good night.
edit: They DID double him before he even got the ball I noticed sometimes...but that doesn't excuse his pussy lay up attempts.
Also in the first quarter, he had a cake walk to basket, and then the ball flew out of his hand uncontested! So yeah, it was more him, than it was the D.
Our battle has been completed Lakers. You were an amusing opponent. See ya!!
Eh, I hope they win, but I kinda feel like it'll be a loss. And I don't want them to lose, but it won't bother me that badly if they do. November. Long way to go until May. So, yeah.
If he can hit that shot from the FT line during a game, he'll do quite well playing with Duncan.
Im about 99% sure the reason Pop takes out the starters in blowouts is not because hes worried about them getting hurt... its to keep them fresh and give the other guys some court time. I can understand if Timmy gets injured during garbage time, people will say oh he shouldnt have been in there... but i mean its a sport, you have the same risk of being injured during the 5000 minutes you play during the season... as you do in the 5 minutes of garbage time in a blowout.
Thats not the reason Pop rests the starters in blow outs..
We got 2 points total out of both centers, got out rebounded by 10 and Tim goes 2 of 12 and we still win?
This team is very deep with capable backup players at every position. This may be a really fun season.
Bowen was 6/6 from beyond the arc...wow!
The Spurs made this one look easy, didn't they?
Watched the Hornets game last night in which Tim turned out a masterful offensive performance - drop steps, drives and jumpers. And then this...
His early season form is always baffling.
You seem to miss the crucial point. Yes, the chance of being injured in garbage time is the same as being injured in non-garbage time. But the difference is necessity. You NEED to play your stars in non-garbage time. You DON'T need to play them in garbage time.
I hope the depth keeps them focused, i.e., they'll always be able to find a group out there that will play hungry.
Otherwise, it will be hard for them (and the fans) to not just wish for the playoffs to get here.
The other factor is that it's considered unsportsmanlike to continue to play your starters in a blowout win. Running up the score is not cool.
How quickly you forget the 2003 playoffs when he went 7-8, also against LA. He also had a great scoring game in the 2005 Finals against Detroit, Game 2 I believe. Bowen isn't a go-to guy like Manu but he has games like this left in him.
I hope in the Spurs case, they take this season's early success due to our depth as a blessing, where winning begets more winning.
If they can keep enjoying themselves and collecting the W's, then we should be fine.
I was surprised Pop didn't try to rest the players earlier than they did. The players also mentioned that they had a lot of fun against New Orleans in that blow out.
refer to Nuggets vs Knicks last year... as others have said, it's not necessary to play the starters when the lead is so high up. it's not just the risk of getting injured. bad things can happen anytime so you want to protect your stars as much as possible.
weird for Pop to put them back in tonight though. He was probably scared Kobe was going to pull a T-Mac.
Nice backpedal there buddy.LOL nice to see he has great games once every couple of years...so we should look for another fantastic performance in 2009?
Without Bowen, the Spurs don't win as many rings, if any.LOL nice to see he has great games once every couple of years...so we should look for another fantastic performance in 2009?
Fred Carter is such a tool.
Fred to Bud: "Two words: Tim Duncan."
Bud: (long pause) "Well, not his best night."
wow
I could have sworn early it was all because of manu by some posters
Down the stretch towards NBA le #6 and the threepeat, right?LOL nice to see he has great games once every couple of years...so we should look for another fantastic performance in 2009?
