Another night, another loss.  The man on the left killed us.  As did the oldest man in the NBA, who ironically isn't a Spur.

On the positive side, at least our defense kinda, sorta showed up tonight.  Unfortunately, the offense didn't.  Despite what Fred has told us in the past, I don't like SEGABABAs.  I don't think the Spurs do either.  And I'm fairly certain they aren't fond of the Northwest Division right not, either.

Somewhat good news for us. It looked worse watching it live.

PtR Quick Cap: Blazers Thump Spurs 96-84

The Spurs dug themselves out of a 17 point third quarter hole to pull within 3 with 5:30 to go.  They couldn't get any closer though as Portland scored 21 points from there on out.  Box Score.

Spurs @ Jazz: Stat of the Game: 7

Last night featured an abysmal performance by our San Antonio Spurs.  I watched the entire game in disbelief.  I kept thinking, "There is no way the Spurs will play this poorly for 48 minutes;" but obviously, they did.  There were many stats that I could have highlighted that would have helped to explain just what happened, but none were so impactful as the 7 three pointers that Utah took.  6 of those came when the game was already decided.  They only connected on one of their attempts, but the fact that they only took 7 threes implies that the Spurs gave up easy, high-percentage shots to Utah all night long.

NBA Live 10 Simulation: Regular Season : San Antonio Spurs at Portland Trail Blazers

 

What's up everyone!  I am back with this week's winning pick for the Simulation.  Last night was a tough night for us on the floor as we all painfully watched our beloved Spurs get taken down by the Jazz.  No fear, we are undefeated when I am doing these sims so we SHOULD win tonight.

Just some notes before the jump.  I do play these games out in full to get the most realistic stats that I can so I know it truly isn't a 'simulation' as that would mean cpu vs cpu and let it play out that way. 

As I am a fan of NBA LIVE 10 I do like to play out some of the games but will in the future do the cpu vs cpu.

You can check out my previous simulations by clicking here.

The good stuff now follows. Enjoy and comment please.

Game Preview #5: San Antonio Spurs @ Portland Blazers

Portlandskyline_medium

Don't let the beauty fool you.  This is going to get ugly.

Tonight, our Spurs take on my second favorite team, the Trailblazers.  So from my perspective, one of my teams will win and the other will lose.  I can't lose.  Or should that say "I can't win"?  Oh forget it, let's talk about what to expect.
