Spurs vs. Lakers - Nov. 13 Game Blog

Nice backpedal there buddy.

As I said before:

Yippee! It's Bruce's ANNUAL 20 POINT GAME! Unite in celebration!

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.

yeh i understand that.... i realise it... of course the starters should come out during a blow out... i never said they shouldnt.

I just think that Pop taking them out due to risk of injury doesnt have much bearing at all... (this sentence sounds incorrect)

I can understand what your saying... ok they dont need to be in the game... so if they get injured people will say they shouldnt have been in the game...

But think about it... if you get injured you get injured, its unfortunate... if you get injured in garbage time... tough, bad luck... when your in the game your not thinking about that.. you play the game the same way (well you should).

I see what your saying about necessity, but i still dont think that has much bearing at all on why Pop takes them out.

Who still has the old boxscore when Bowen out scored Kobe.

Add this one

B. Bowen 37 7-11 6-6 3-4 1 3 1 1 1 0 2 23
K. Bryant 38 9-19 0-5 0-0 0 9 5 3 2 3 1 18

They've played against each other almost minute for minute

Yeah I think its happened a three or so times now, I used to have one box score as my sig...

I think Bowen really like's playing Kobe, plus Kobe gambles way to much of Bruce to help D.

wow
I could have sworn early it was all because of manu by some posters

The 'Manu vs Tony' argument is the most ridiculous thing on Spurstalk.

Agreed.

I wish people would STFU about it and appreciate that THEY ARE BOTH AWESOME! Who cares who is "better" when the compliment each other so beautifully???

[mystargtr34]

I think its healthy to have a Manu vs Tony debate ....

you wouldn't say that if one of the stars go down because of playing garbage minutes

Without a doubt, Spurs is the best team in NBA.

[Walter Craparita]

It's not bad luck when it can easily be avoided.

Then it is just stupidity.

this article on www.poundingtherock.com le pretty much puts an end on the Tony vs Manu comparsion

The author only ever showed up here to complain about Parker's game grades being too high. He's a hata.

Pass.

So you think i just come on here and post the opposite of what i think?

If Tim Duncan was in the game tonight at the end of the 4th, and he does his ankle... god forbid.... i say tough, bad luck... yeh i curse and swear and throw a few things cause hes my favourite player...

What im trying to say is... i just cant justify blaming an injury on being in the game when the game was won... its a sport and injuries happen...

Once again, i understand the previous posters point on it not being necessary to be in the game at that time... but that doesnt take away from the fact that injuries happen... its bad luck... key guys play 5000 minutes a year... and your gonna fret over a 5 minute stint in garbage time worrying about a guy getting injured... im sorry... i can see the reasons for taking out stars out... im all for it... but just not for this particular reason.

Has aaronstampler been around ST this season?
I haven't seen him.

[ChumpDumper]

How is he different from you hating on Manu all the time?

Aaron uses many more words and arranges them in annoyingly understandable patterns.

Thanks.
I guess I could have done that.
Duncan has a bad game and my brain disappears.

I knew I hadn't caught any of his posts in a while.

[ChumpDumper]

He might be biased but he does give Tony credit when he has good games.

Not that I have seen.

And I refuse to believe anyone can actually understand ducks enough to be pissed off by him.

[ShoogarBear]

BS Alert.

...Ducks always complains about Manu even after great games. He complained about Bonzi out rebounding him even though Manu was the only that showed up that game.

ducks hates on Manu. ducks hates on LeBron. ducks hates on Bill Gates. It's just part of the ducks.

dude rebounding was why the spurs lost against houston
bashing manu because his man outrebounding him by 13 is not acceptable?

I guess manu can do no wrong

unfortunately, he manages to sound semi coherent enough for us to get that he is totally and completely ing in love with Parker.

Basically, Ducks is to Tony what Aaronstampler is to Manu, complete ing homers, and at the same time completely ing clueless about what being a Spurs fan is all about.

Eh, you were singling him out in that case.
Bonzi outplayed everyone who was on him.

Your feigned innocence on behalf of objectivity, doesn't fool anyone. But whatever.
