One thing that HAS to happen early today:
Offensive plays for Peja before Bruce Bowen enters the game. We need to get Peja going against Michael Finley, or else Bowen will come in and Peja will be nonexistent for the rest of the game. Really hope Byron goes to Peja in the first couple minutes.
In other news, the Spurs are the second worst offensive boarding team in the league but far and away the best defensive rebounding.

Think David West maybe is eager to show the Spurs what he looks like when healthy?

Meh.
Been that kind of year… hopefully we’re getting all the bad luck out of the way in the early season.

Plus, it looks like Mo is not even in the house...
by m-W on Dec 17, 2008 8:56 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Wait, seriously?
Something definitely up. I think he’s on his way out. Which makes me majorly sad : (

Has there been some buzz about him leaving?
It’s a weird situation with him.

Just shot off a few e-mails to a couple guys who might know
Hopefully they get back to me soon. I’d be stunned if he’s not at least on the trading block…
by atthehive on Dec 17, 2008 9:05 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Wow
Brown starting over Mo-Pete… Either Mo is hugely on the trading block or something else is up

What a strange game
15-14 at the end of one…
by atthehive on Dec 17, 2008 9:12 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
So far the pace of this game is 76
Or about 12 possessions below both these team’s averages

Nice shot Posey
on the curl, in rythm

Marks v Bonner
is uncomfortable to watch. Can both teams play four-on-four while they get spray tans?

It was, especially the board
Duncan eats up his own missed or blocked shots and ends up in better position the 2nd time. Great block, and then greater job getting right to the loose ball

There's the record breaking steal
Nice. But the offense looks abysmal right now

Great crowd reaction...
…well before it was announced, the crowd was on it’s feet and waving their towels.
by m-W on Dec 17, 2008 9:39 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
CP wheels in a circle around everyone...
…and finds TC for the alley oop. Awesome

Good day on the offensive boards at least for Chandler
But right now SA outplaying us..

i hope we keep up the intensity
we have to continue to play good d

lack of scorers is killing us tonight
west and cp3 need more help with scoring. prolly will see a lot of posey to finish the game.
by Ace Boogie on Dec 17, 2008 10:20 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
It's pretty obvious we need Peja and Mo out there
by m-W on Dec 17, 2008 10:33 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
We just don't have enough scoring without Peja.
They are collapsing on west and the rest of the offense isn’t fluid.

this is hard to watch now
the spurs are mving the ball well finding open shooters. we have too many turnovers
by Ace Boogie on Dec 17, 2008 10:37 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
the spurs are out working us
if any moves are made, a legit sg to get to the rack is needed
by Ace Boogie on Dec 17, 2008 10:46 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Yeah we need a playmaking SG or a big in the worst way
by atthehive on Dec 17, 2008 10:50 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
no one comes to mind though
its easy for me to say that, but there is no one available off the top of my head
by Ace Boogie on Dec 17, 2008 10:53 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
As usual we're in the penalty with 6:00 to go
Beautiful
by atthehive on Dec 17, 2008 10:49 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
we have to start running sets for times like this
the spurs are getting good looks while we’re struggling. too many perimeter shots that are not falling.
by Ace Boogie on Dec 17, 2008 10:52 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Good point
I’m actually working on a motion vs. sets post, we definitely need something for these situations
by atthehive on Dec 17, 2008 10:55 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
juju is a true professional
always rooting on his teammates. maybe west needs to take more when open. better him than devin brown, lol!
by Ace Boogie on Dec 17, 2008 10:57 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Great job on defense the last two possessions.
Beautiful.

posey
hope that was the dagger. might be a very ugly win. spurs missed a lot of open shots.
by Ace Boogie on Dec 17, 2008 11:02 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Any win over the Spurs is a good win.

In other news
We’ve held SA to 9 fourth quarter points. Way to step up the D.

CP3 wins the tip.
Incredible.

If you watch the reply on the jump...

hard fought win
still hate the play of marks and brown.
by Ace Boogie on Dec 17, 2008 11:09 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
we played better with posey instead of brown in the game
byron needs to find a rotation quickly
by Ace Boogie on Dec 17, 2008 11:13 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
22 games without anything even close to resembling a steady rotation is waaay too long
Even when you throw in Peja’s and Tyson’s ailments, it’s still ridiculous.
by atthehive on Dec 17, 2008 11:29 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
thats what i'm saying
its about time to insert juju, ely, and mopete when he gets over the flu. bowen in spot minutes for energy. i would like to see the hornets take a chance on a d league player.
by Ace Boogie on Dec 17, 2008 11:51 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
big ups to dwest
those were timely and needed 3 pointers
by Ace Boogie on Dec 17, 2008 11:12 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
We definitely missed Peja and Mo.
But CP and DX (especially with his two late 3s) willed the team to a victory.
