Round 2, Game 4: vs New Orleans

In 2002, there was a great movie released called Bubba Ho-tep. Most of you guys have probably never heard of it. I'm telling you RIGHT NOW that you should watch it. The movie is just brilliant. It's about two guys in a retirement home in East Texas that is being stalked by a chaps wearing mummy. One of the guys is an Elvis impersonator who now thinks he is Elvis, the other is a black man who thinks he is JFK. What does Bubba Ho-tep have to do with the Spurs? Nothing. This is about US, the PtR family. We, like the old men, are being attacked by an Undead enemy --blog trolls-- who attempts to slap his lips on our assholes to suck our souls. We need to band together, be diligent, and watch our assholes until this antagonist has been vanquished.
In the meantime, bone up on your game day rituals and routines. LatinD wants to know what they are and how much you are willing to bring to the Mojo table.

I don’t want to make any predictions on the series because I’m that worried of jinxing them.

Come on Tony, show a little attitude
The last game I get angry looking at Tony laughing and making jokes with Chris Flop 3
I’m not sayig: “go and break the bastard face”, but at least show some focus, some competitiveness.
I never see other spur making jokes to rivals…

I think Tony did get pissed the other night when Paul took a dive along the sideline to draw a foul. Tony and Paul were talking and you could tell (at least I’m saying I could tell) that Tony was frustrated with him. That’s good as far as I’m concerned.

Manu's victims
in game 3 included Mo Peterson, Bonzi Wells, Jannero Pargo and Julian Wright. Who else will he torch in game 4?

Your forgot CP3. Paul guarded Manu for like 2 possessions and Manu posted him up each time. One led to a wide open 3 for Bowen and the other Manu badly missed a bank shot. I think Byron realized it wasn’t a favorable match up though and he took Paul off him quickly.

Transmissions:
NBATV will broadcast the game, so no NBA League Pass feeds for this one – and there probably won’t be any for the rest of the playoffs. However, one of the WMOE channels (probably WMOE 1) will show the game. To watch these channels you need:
1. Internet Explorer
2. Sopcast
To tune into it: enter the STOOGETV site, go with your mouse to the WMOE button on the left-hand menu, and then click on the channel you want.
If that doesn’t work, check the links below:

Since a couple of months ago, I assumed Manu would get back into the starting lineup at some point in the playoffs. When the chips are down, even the conservative Spurs know their top guys need to be in the game as much as possible.

i had been suggesting manu’s return to the starting five pretty much the whole time – and it was not very popular among the PtR crowd. i suppose that one could make the argument that now is the time for him to expend the energy he had been saving all year. either way, here’s oping that the extra day of rest is helpful for the healing process.

I admit, I was not in favor of Manu starting. I worry about the lack of bench points and I wonder how long Pop will stay with this line up. However, it seems to have worked in game 3 and I think we should stick with if it is working in this series.

Bruce Campbell is a God (he’s the guy who plays the Elvis impersonator in Ho-tep). I also recommend Campbell in the Evil Dead movies (directed by Spiderman director Sam Raimi before he blew up). If you haven’t seen them, they’re great low-budget horror films that are genuinely scary and hilarious. I recommend.
Allez Spurs!

i dont really have a set pre-game ritual, but during the play-offs i always drink out of a spurs plastic cup from AT&T. this year, its the big black soda cup with four trophies on it.
its not much in the way of karma, but its all i got.
