Spurs vs. Kings Jan. 27th - Grades

[timvp]

Tim Duncan
Duncan played well against the Kings, finishing with 20 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block. Although he looked sluggish at times, overall he was one of the highlights for the Spurs. With the Rodeo Road Trip approaching, the Spurs need him in top form.
GRADE: 87
JANUARY: 84.3
SEASON: 86.4

Bruce Bowen
It was a very good night at the office for Bowen. He 14 points on 6-for-9 shooting from the field and 2-for-4 shooting from beyond the arc. On the other side of the court, Bowen played very good defense against Cuttino Mobley, holding him to 4-for-15 from the floor.
GRADE: 91
JANUARY: 84.4
SEASON: 84.7

Tony Massenburg
In 22 minutes, Massenburg didn’t quite have the impact he did the last time the Spurs played the Kings. He had two points, five rebounds and a steal as the Spurs beat his former team for the third time this season.
GRADE: 85
JANUARY: 85.7
SEASON: 84.7

Manu Ginobili
Ginobili has seemingly passed Parker as the Spur most likely to join Duncan in the All-Star game. Ginobili has been on fire and continued his hot ways against the Kings, where he had 25 points, six rebounds and three assists. Over his last ten games, he’s averaging 19.1 points per game.
GRADE: 95
JANUARY: 88.1
SEASON: 88.1

Tony Parker
Parker started off ablaze, but cooled as the game wore on. With the Spurs finished with their regular season matches against the Kings, Parker can now exhale. In his four games against Sacramento, Parker averaged only 10.5 points per game on 36.7% shooting from the floor.
GRADE: 86
JANUARY: 85.6
SEASON: 86.1

Robert Horry
Horry, even though he’s been nicked up more than a dozen times over the last month, played very well Thursday night. Although he only hit one of this four field goal attempts, he made up for that by going 7-for-9 from the line and pulling down eight rebounds.
GRADE: 94
JANUARY: 85.9
SEASON: 85.5

Brent Barry
For Barry’s second consecutive game, he was pretty much invisible out there on the court. In 18 minutes, he only shot the ball twice. The Spurs need him to be more demanding on the court so that he can get into the offensive flow and help spread the floor.
GRADE: 83
JANUARY: 85.4
SEASON: 83.1

Beno Udrih
Udrih played satisfactory against the Kings, but overall has been struggling recently. Over his last five games, he’s shooting only 36.0% from the floor and 22.2% from three-point land. Against the Kings he finished with five points and two steals in 12 minutes.
GRADE: 83
JANUARY: 84.9
SEASON: 84.5

Malik Rose
Rose might have hit his all-time low note with the Spurs on Thursday night. After throwing the ball out of bounds, he put his jersey over his head in frustration. Darius Songalia then sprinted by him and caught a full court feed for a dunk. Rose can’t let his emotions get the best of him. If he does the Spurs might look into trading him … again.
GRADE: 60
JANUARY: 80.4
SEASON: 83.9

[smeagol]

Malik's grade of 60 appears to be an all-time low for any Spur, IIRC.

[1Parker1]

Mass seemed like he had a bad game, 2 pts and 5 rebounds, yet he still gets an 85? Was it because of his defense?

[CHAMPS AGAIN]

DUNCAN =87 20-12-4-2-1
T-MASS=85 02-05-0-1-0
Base on minutes or what?

[E20]

I think it's based on a lot of things. How they can produce, minutes and how good they can potentially be. I mean Duncan can potentianlly be a 25 PT 13 REB kind of guy.

[T Park]

60 for Rose, and eithy freakin five for Massenburg are both quite high.
