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?

by m-W on Dec 17, 2008 5:40 PM CST reply actions  

As usual

Hornets not shown on the beginning of the doubleheader…

by Rohan on Dec 17, 2008 8:49 PM CST reply actions  

Here we go

Celts game finally over!

by Rohan on Dec 17, 2008 8:50 PM CST up reply actions  

Great.

Peja’s out.

Haha

Always something this year it seems

by Rohan on Dec 17, 2008 8:51 PM CST up reply actions  

Meh.

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

by Cablinasian on Dec 17, 2008 8:53 PM CST up reply actions  

Wait, seriously?

Something definitely up. I think he’s on his way out. Which makes me majorly sad : (

by Rohan on Dec 17, 2008 8:59 PM CST up reply actions  

Has there been some buzz about him leaving?

It’s a weird situation with him.

by Cablinasian on Dec 17, 2008 9:03 PM CST up reply actions  

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 Rohan on Dec 17, 2008 9:05 PM CST up reply actions  

Allegedly, he had the flu bad Yesterday…

by m-W on Dec 17, 2008 9:05 PM CST up reply actions  

Wow

Brown starting over Mo-Pete… Either Mo is hugely on the trading block or something else is up

by Rohan on Dec 17, 2008 8:55 PM CST reply actions  

So far the pace of this game is 76

Or about 12 possessions below both these team’s averages

by Rohan on Dec 17, 2008 9:12 PM CST up reply actions  

Nice shot Posey

Marks v Bonner

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

Killer block and board by DX on Duncan.

by m-W on Dec 17, 2008 9:24 PM CST reply actions  

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

by Rohan on Dec 17, 2008 9:35 PM CST reply actions  

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  

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  

We just don't have enough scoring without Peja.

They are collapsing on west and the rest of the offense isn’t fluid.

honor rasheed wallace

by Cablinasian on Dec 17, 2008 10:39 PM CST up reply actions  

Agreed

They are just dumping it into DX and the Spurs no we have nothing else without CP in the game.

by m-W on Dec 17, 2008 10:41 PM CST up reply actions  

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  

Agreed

Let’s see if we can make one last run of it with Paul

by Rohan on Dec 17, 2008 10:41 PM CST up reply actions  

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  

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  

Good point

I’m actually working on a motion vs. sets post, we definitely need something for these situations

by Rohan on Dec 17, 2008 10:55 PM CST up reply actions  

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  

Haha

There was an interview with West this summer where he said the only thing he wants to improve this year is three point shooting. So far so good

by Rohan on Dec 17, 2008 11:00 PM CST up reply actions  

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  

DAGGER DAGGER DAGGER

Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaames Poseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyy

by Rohan on Dec 17, 2008 11:03 PM CST reply actions  

In other news

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

by Rohan on Dec 17, 2008 11:04 PM CST reply actions  

CP3 wins the tip.

Incredible.

honor rasheed wallace

by Cablinasian on Dec 17, 2008 11:07 PM CST reply actions  

Haha

Paul Owned Ginobili on that one

by Rohan on Dec 17, 2008 11:07 PM CST reply actions  

Haha

I’ll look for it when I re-watch the game

by Rohan on Dec 17, 2008 11:53 PM CST up reply actions  

hard fought win

still hate the play of marks and brown.

by Ace Boogie on Dec 17, 2008 11:09 PM CST reply actions  

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 Rohan on Dec 17, 2008 11:29 PM CST up reply actions  

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  

big ups to dwest

those were timely and needed 3 pointers

by Ace Boogie on Dec 17, 2008 11:12 PM CST reply actions  

We definitely missed Peja and Mo.

But CP and DX (especially with his two late 3s) willed the team to a victory.
