Game Thread #18: at Nuggets
San Antonio @ Denver
Spike Lee did "Get On The Bus", I'm doing "Thrown Under The Bus". If we play many more games like the Pistons game I will start throwing people under the bus.
Our starting guards are the two people in the most danger of getting chucked under big yellow. You can come in if you want, but you better not be soft. If you are, under the bus you go.

|
Breakdown:
Keys To The Game:
Some other reading: If you go to Pick Axe And Roll, you won't find any trade talk. That's what happens when your team plays well. And with heart. Other things of possible interest: We have a shot at a 3-game losing streak. We are 5-5 at home. That's lousy. Tony Parker wasn't traded today. Pop is still our coach. Ian Mahinmi DID, in fact, hurt his ankle in the first Toros game and was only recalled so they could monitor his rehab. Don't expect to see him in a Spurs uniform any time soon. Recap: Bren and SiMA are doing recaps, I believe. |

NON-FAIL
This is easily the best intro into a game thread that I have ever seen. I was both moved to hysterical laughter, AND motivated. Seriously. Immediately posted in the ‘classic PtR’ file. Can’t wait to hear what LD has to say though…… you’re likely to get banned.
SPURS – 91
thuggets – 85
Look for us to bounce back big. Mace will have a big game, as will Manu (a no-brainer since the Manu OWNS Denver) and the bench will hold serve. Nothing like Pop handing you your ass to turn things around. It’s science.
And you might want to edit the Suckitude comment. Thank God we only played Detroit once this week.

What kind of bus?
Is it one of those short yellow ones with the black tinted windows? A double decker? I think it’s only appropriate that with all the recent talk of trading TP and whatnot, he should thrown under a bus like this
They make a mean bus. It’s French-Canadian, so it still counts.
These game threads get better and better each game. Mad props to you ATS, you have done yeoman work with these threads while our fearless leaders have gone MIA, and by that I mean they have a real life. By the end of the regular season I am expecting these threads to be fully interactive and in 3-D.

Damn, ATS, that was a great preview. The column of white dots just cracked me up. Should’ve been “sucky franchise”, by the way, you blind homer.
I really don’t think we have a snowflake’s chance in hell of winning this one. Then again, the only other time I felt like this this season (the first game against Houston) we won and actually started to find our game. We’re similarly lost right now, so I’ll be hoping for a repeat.

click on the little tree. copy-and-paste the url (including the http:// part) into the little text line. It has to be on the web somewhere. You can’t add a pic you have on your computer.
One easy way to get the url if you are using Firefox, is to find the page with the pic you want, right-click on it and select ‘Copy Image Location’, then do a control-V into the text line.

Also, be careful with Flickr pics. The regular Flickr urls won’t work – you need to zoom in to get the real location of the pic, and only in those cases the owner allows it. You can’t even save it to your computer (you probably can, but I don’t know how). But you can always printscreen it.
Remember you can always upload your pics to some free hosting site like ImageShack.
Finally, if you hit the “preview” button before posting it, you can check if the image was properly imbedded. That’s all.

Another thing that works is if you right-click on the photo you want to add.
Then pick “properties”
You will then be able to copy and paste the link which would look something like this -

And paste it after you click the tree icon.

Ian's ankle
I heard that Ian hurt his OTHER ankle and they called him back to monitor him. On one hand, it’s probably good that he didn’t re-injure the same ankle, but on the other hand it kinda makes me think that he is soft. I guess he’ll fit in perfectly with our team at present.

What K-Mart's Tattoo Means
Like it’s not obvious. The only two beings named ‘Kermit’ are Kermit the Frog and Kermit Washington, who once punched out Rudy Tomjanovich. Clearly, Mr. Martin identifies so strongly with Miss Piggy because he wants to be beaten up and then made love to at midcourt.

Um hi.
I’ve been in a funk for months and have not blogged. Sorry. Just something I’m going through. But I will participate in the live blog today (I know try to contain your excitement). I’ll be at my bar and hopefully I won’t be teased too much typing at my com-PU-tor? among these drunk hick bastards.
Hopefully I can win your love back with some well-timed Kenyon Martin jokes, indefensible rationalizations for Manu’s eight turnovers (DAMMIT PEOPLE HE’S JUST TRYING TO MAKE A PLAY!!) and, of course, the occasional shot at Tony.
And if I can’t win your love back, well, there’s always my crazy girlfriend to make it all better later. Go Spurs?

Hey, come on, you’re like the long lost parent that comes only every couple of months bringing a couple of cool gifts and a face full of smiles. God knows we try to please our parent, and be the best we can be, but it’s never enough is it? He always leaves, saying, oh, I’ll return, oh, I’ll write a recap. But we know that not true, and he’ll set off again, to come back in a year or two, just to break our hearts. And we keep falling for it, because deep down we love the bastard, and also we have abandonment issues.

dunno. Hope not. No promises. I’m kind of like Matthew. I feel differently about the Spurs than I used to, but I can’t put a finger on it. Hopefully it’s just the football season and once the Iggles are eliminated for real I’ll be really into it. I’m not used to it being December and the quarterback standing upright, so bear with me.
I should start writing again though for sure. I do kind of miss it. Plus, all the ingredients are in place to make the team interesting again. Manu’s back, Tony’s back, and Pop is driving me fucking crazy.

For tonight’s game, I just want Timmy to put the fear of God in Thugget #1 so Thugget #1 doesn’t spout such nonsense like this : "I never let Tim do what he wants to do," said Denver’s Kenyon Martin, the man most often assigned to Duncan. "I never have, I never will."
Winning the game would be just cherry on top.

Um, no, Tony isn’t the problem. He has, by all appearances, seemed to improve his mid-range jumper. It’s looking all normal NBA jump shot looking now instead of something you’d see from a Special Olympics Shotputter.

Agreed. But Manu isn’t healthy. Or maybe he’s healthy, but he’s certainly not at 100%. If Finley can consistently hit 3s and those off-the-curl jumpers, then he has a place on the team.
I seriously don’t remember him ever playing for the Spurs as well as he did in the Tim And Four Scrubs phase – at least not in that many consecutive games. He really came through for us, and does still deserves some minutes, I think.
Of course, two more games like the one against the Pistons and I’ll put him again on the bottom shelf, next to JV.

I didn’t say he’s improved. Just the jumper has. As an overall point guard, he’s still the same guy, same strengths, same weaknesses. That’s not going to change. The Spurs proved last RRT that Tony is not as integral to their success as ESPN would have you believe. The team has a #1, a #2, and a #3, and the roles are well established and have been since 2004. Maybe Pop secretly rooted for Tony to make “the leap” over Manu, but he hasn’t been able, not consistently, and certainly not when it matters.

The team cannot be improved by trading Parker. Just because he’s our 3rd banana doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be a 2nd banana elsewhere. One of the main reasons we’ve won so much is that our 3rd best player is top 25 level.

Michael at the movies.
Saw Bond today. Very average film. No gadgets, no light banter, no comic levity, no hot sex scenes. Very serious film. Boring. You’re not missing anything if you don’t see it.
If you haven’t seen it, go rent Tropic Thunder. Funniest movie since Anchorman. Actually, Step Brothers is good too.

Bond was very Bourne-ish. And by that I mean that it had great, great action. I don’t care about the gadgets, really. The last Brossnan Bond flick had him skying through the Antartic ocean on a car door, IIRC, while a tidal wave threatened to drown him.
