San Antonio Spurs at Portland Trail Blazers, Oct 31, 2008 9:30 PM CDT
Happy Frickin' Halloween.
The season is already a nightmare for Blazers fans as they are down two starters with Oden hurting his foot in the first quarter of his first game and Webster out with a stress fracture. But, who cares about them, I'm a Spurs fan.
Our Spurs: 0-1
Them Blazers: 0-1
Our Starting Spurs: Tony Parker, Michael Finley, Bruce Bowen, Tim Duncan, Fabricio Oberto
Them Starting Blazers: Brandon Roy, Steve Blake, Travis Outlaw, LaMarcus Aldridge, Joel Pryzbilla
(I hope to work in some of LatinD's cool data from last year into these threads. Be patient. LatinD: send me an email.)
Officials: Willard, Brown, Phillips
Keys To The Game:
Bruce Bowen on Brandon Roy: If you shut down Roy, you have chopped the head off the snake and thrown it in the disposer. Bruce only played 20 minutes against the Suns, so he should be extra fresh.
Duncan on whoever: With Oden out, who will cover Duncan. Pryzbilla is big enough to cause him problem, but I think he'll kill Aldridge down in the block.
Our bench: We need something from the Not-Tim and Not-Tony crowd.
Some other reading:
Check out Rip City Project and the Blazers Edge for some more reading. Both sites have guys that do some really good content. Really, you should check them out. But, if you comment, be respectful. Yes, I'm talking to you SiMA.
Other:
I think I know what Greg Oden's foot looks like. Unfortunately, I used up my foot photo last game.
My quick thoughts on the Suns game:
Tim and Tony looked great, but they carried the team too much.
I don't know that anybody else looked like they could even carry the team for 2 minutes.
Bonner and the FinDog played too much.
Mason seemed solid.
Why did Bruce only play 20 minutes? Did he get put in the dog house? Is Pop saving him? It looks like Bruce played about 2 minutes out of the last 18.
We need our youth movement. Hill, Ian, and Tolliver need to get some minutes. If for no other reason, to keep me interested.

i forgot about this for the first game, but…..
SA 92
Por 79
i am worried about this game, frankly. newly energized team – playing them on the road, etc. greg-o might be hurt, but they have beaten us up there before he was around, so……spurs will need to get stops and rebound, rebound, rebound the defensive glass.

I think Oden's absence
hurts the Portland’s defense, but Ginobili’s hurts the Spurs’ offense…
Who’s gonna score beyond Tim and Tony ?

Sorry, I actually typed “Vaughn” as the answer to your question but it didn’t post.
Apparently even this SB Nation format won’t allow such blatent sarcastic mockery. Had I used “Bonner” as the subject of my joke, it likely would have slipped through; but even the server chuckled as it eliminated “Vaughn.”

I'm not saying the Blazers
are favorite to win though…
Just that scoring is gonna be a concern for SA until Manu’s coming back, so their defense should better be even tighter than it usually is.

For those of you that depend on p2p streams, go to this site and look for San Antonio – Portland. Lots of options tonight. I recommend the Sopcast feed if you don’t mind Chinese announcers, or PPstream if you have it installed. Avoid TvAnts.

For LatinD
The Blazers don’t have anybody that can stay in front of Tony Parker. Blake certainly can’t, so expect Tony to really assert himself in the first quarter. Off Tony’s impending dominance, FinDog and Bruce will get copious open 3-ball opportunities. If they can knock them down, we’ll have a high scoring affair from the Spurs. If they can’t, it will put a lot of pressure on our defense. Tim is going to get his. It will come down to our ability to score off of Tony.
And, will the Blazers have anybody that can knock down outside shots.

Speaking of Silver Dancers, if you go to http://www.nba.com/spurs/ and click on the Silver Dancers tab and see the hot and wet hottie, I think that is Stephanie. She was an Austin Toro’s dancer last year. Let’s just say, she didn’t only catch my eye, she caught my wife’s eye too.

Because we bluffed Batum and faked Houston into grabbing him so that we’d lose out. Then immediately trading him as we claimed to be going after GH all along. Point being, we didn’t ever intend on a player more needed than what we ended up with.

It has to be about 100’ tall. It can’t be more than 2 or 3 hundred feet off the coast. It’s an old cargo ship. It’s completely upright. It’s in a stretch of water that is supposed to be extremely dangerous. Seriously, it looks like it has been there for 40-50 years it is that rusted out.
