Fuck it Spurs by 35

Uh oh spursfan87. You made a slight change to the mojo-phrase that has been leading to wins ( from 30 to 35 )
I hope it still works
recced
...Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is forty five.
nah, the streak began at 15
"He was just a young skinny guy who looked like a winner. We didn’t know he was going to be as good as he is."

Hmm. The mojophrase ALMOST worked tonight.
Are you gonna keep using the same one, or maybe tweak it a little ? Say , instead of going up by 5 every game, go up by 1 or 7 ?
...Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is forty five.
I actually hope that LeBron plays and we have a good game. That way we can actually measure ourselves against an elite team…
Yeah, like 2 1/2 weeks from now, methinks.

Tim Duncan will get two technical fouls tonight and Blair will not see the floor for more than ten minutes thanks to Zarba.

No Tony Parker for the rest of the season. Spurs game tonight against the top team in the league with Joey Crawford and Zach Zarba officiating. Yeah, I like our chances.
They won’t have Lebron, though. That’s a major advantage for us if there ever was one.

The reason we did not bring the young guys in at the beginning of the season is that they are quick learners…. they dont need the whole season to learn… just the last quarter. The veterans on the other hand.

Since Mahinmi got into the game the Cavs have traveled twice. Coincidence? I dont think so!

I hate latin america ESPN’s programs. These 2 guys in a PTI-like show saying the Lakers are not contenders.
Going for the first even year championship!
Those guys are “know” about soccer and nothing else and it’s painful to watch them try to talk about something else.
Going for the first even year championship!
Surely you’re not talking about Martin and Morales, Alvaro Morales. Right?
I smell death... everywhere.
Those guys are experts compare to Jose Ramon Fernandez and David Faitelson (sp?)
Going for the first even year championship!
I love Martin and Morales. My favorite announcers in both languages. :)
Don’t know the other guys.
I smell death... everywhere.
Evidently I’m just peeking in long enough to say “hi,” and now I have to go have dinner I’m told. Later, y’all.
Basically voted most normal person on PtR.
Manu fucking Ginobili is playing like a madman and my damn ILP won’t work.

Do the players just laugh when Pop tells them something, like “I’m not going to play you at the 4 anymore, Richard”?
Manu Ginobili with 23 of 43 points? Who does this guy think he is?

I love Manu obviously I would love him even more if he was playing for us.
I haven’t seen alot of your games lately but Duncan (in my small opinion) looks good by that he looks kinda fresh and seems to be moving fairly well unlike KG in Beantown

The Cavs really don’t seem like they’re playing with much energy, not really respecting us.
Hope this doesn’t change in the 2nd half.

Anyone else see the highlights of the Lakers-Magic game and notice how pathetic Fisher kept crying about calls or non-calls. He’s so used to his LA home strategy of just fouling like crazy in the 4th and not getting called, which in LA is called “good defense”. It doesn’t work for him on the road that time and he freaks out. Love it.
Oh, and Kobe fail, gotta love that.
How many straight losses is that for the lakeshow?
