Golden State Warriors at San Antonio Spurs, Mar 19, 2010 7:30 PM CDT
Oh look, a Spurs game. The last one was, ummm... Wait, there was a last game? I've been going through that therapy from Endless Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. OK, maybe that's just what I wish I had done. But you know what they say, when life (or the NBA schedule) gives you lemons...
Crap, who put Drew Gooden in charge of the metaphors?
Get the opposing point of view at Golden State of Mind. One of the better SBN blogs, if you ask me.
Likely Starters
 Spurs 40-25 Home: 24-10 |
Position |  Warriors 19-48 Road: 4-28 |
| George Hill | PG | Monta Ellis |
| Manu Ginobili | SG | CJ Watson |
| Richard Jefferson | SF | Anthony Morrow |
| Tim Duncan | PF | Corey Maggette |
| Antonio McDyess | C | Anthony Tolliver |
|
|
Officials |
|
| Ron Garretson | Matt Boland | Derek Richardson |
Key to the Game
Pop fighting his dark urges: Just look at that Dubs lineup - not exactly a lot of size on that team. Pop may like microball, and it may work sometimes, but it's not going to work against the coach who practically invented it. Don't adjust to Nellie - punish that small, soft team inside.
Final Note

I don’t believe in Monta. Today’s game is going to be the game that changed nothing.
We should start rebuilding around Durant
Hope to catch the game later on. I have another early day. Together, Spurs! (Btw, WTH happened at Orlando?!)
I am just watching a little March Madness while I’m supposed to be working and I thought I’d share this with you all. The Spurs should sign Chris Kramer (SG – Purdue) to a D-League contract and bring him up as a good defensive PG/SG. I’d love to see his teammate, Robbie Hummel (out with an injury), playing the SA as a good sized SF. Sorry to post college b-ball stuff, but it is fun to think about.
File this thought under “We Suck™”
IF Timmy was 5-10 instead of 1-10 and …
IF Mcdyess is 2-4 insted of 1-4 and …
IF Hill is 3-5 instead of 1-5
We shoot better than 50% and still lose by 12.
Our problem is not our offense (although We Suck™ at that too)
Yes. I also believe that defensive effort drives offense. If we are more effective on defense and rebounding it does more than just close the gap – it creates a flow that leads to more efficient offense.
E.g. RJ’s shots were not falling at all earlier in the season. Once he started putting effort in rebounding and other parts of his game the momentum eventually carried over into his offense.
Should we still trade RJ for Corey Mags in the offseason?

We scored a little bit in that first quarter.

Tim, my parents are in Arizona right now; had a waiter last night that told them how much he liked Duncan and how awesome the Spurs are. So, there’s at least one other guy out there.
Basically voted most normal person on PtR.
Don Nelson thrown out very early. We scored 41 pts in the first quarter; season high, 75% shooting.

well, looks like things are going well…so far. i’m going to chalk it up to me wearing my duncan jersey while i was shooting around this morning at the courts…

No. i dont want to hear about it. I’m pretending new RTS’s dont come out. Because then i will buy them and waste even more of my time playing them. I played warcraft 3 online non stop my last two years of high school. I played that instead of going to prom. I’m about to graduate from college (and hopefully will be in grad school in the fall) and i cannot afford to buy a new RTS.

in the interest of saving the Spurs valuable seconds in order for us to hit the 153 point mark, romaju was set wide open for a corner 3 then thought about all the past 3’s the he has missed, so he decided to just give it to a Warriors player instead. He was then scolded by PtR when he was actually trying to help.
Right when he was about to shoot that 3 a Warriors defender ran towards him and just took the ball out of his hands, it really was quite baffling.

Just got in myself. WTH happened?! Ok, I already said that. And I got it, the Orlando game was a nightmare (it’ll will be awhile before I scroll down the first page let alone go back to that recap), but again WTH happened?! That final score is, . . Sunnish? I was pretty sure the Orlando score was because Pop didn’t want us getting too much attention with our point differential rating and now this? Wait, . . . is it April 1 already?
I thought Pop would be more upset that the opposing team scored 116 points.
