We just won with the following like-up:
Tony-Green-Neal-Duncan-Bonner
No Splits and No Manu and we actually won against the Clips!
In my opinion, this is Bonner’s best season as a Spur. I know his numbers are not as impressive, but he is playing better defense and getting boards. Hats off to Coach B.

Agreed. This is the best I have ever seen him play. Hes not shooting the highest percentage of his career, but hes letting it fly in situations he never used to , and making alot of them.

He’d fit in well. Anything to reduce Blair’s minutes during Tiago’s time off is a good thing. And Bonner/Blair
Winter is coming
He was -20 at one point. He ended at -17. He got some easy baskets, but good things didn’t really happen when he was in. That’s why Pop went to RJ and Leonard at the 4 over Blair. It’s a reason why he only played 16:48 in an OT game. And that’s without Splitter playing more than 5 minutes. Duncan played 41 min. Bonner played 35 min
Spurs did better against Blake with Bonner than with Blair, for example.
Winter is coming
Yeah, his +- was atrocious. I just liked that he created some offense for us when we struggled.
Both teams played hard
His positives outweigh his negatives. And that’s why his on court presence does not seem to help. Pop went to RJ and Leonard at the 4 because Blair was not helping much.
Winter is coming
Like he made a really good pass to Green, and Green missed the easiest shot of the game. He stole the ball and threw it away immediately.
Both teams played hard
Yes, he did those, but just about everyone on the team can find the open man. The team is so much more effective with him off the court, for just about every game. His on/off court numbers are worse this year than it was last year.
Winter is coming
Yes, it doesn’t fit well into the team’s play. He is a complete anti-Bonner in almost every way.
Both teams played hard
I would say that comment is very true without bringing up race at all…
by MiniMegaMoose on Feb 18, 2012 6:37 PM CST up reply actions
Spurs did better against Blake with Bonner than with Blair, for example.
Well, Bonner is the +/- king. He is playing really well recently, and look at our wining streak. I always think that good Bonner = wins for our team.
Both teams played hard
I wasn’t even looking at Bonner’s +/-, but just watching the game, even though he’s not a solid one-on-one defender, he doesn’t do stupid things, so when the team comes with a hard double or triple team, he doesn’t foul and kill off the play. He also boxes out. My gosh, he boxed out Blake on an important rebound. I know if that was Blair, that would be a rebound for Blake or Blair would have fouled him.
Winter is coming
Why do I know the name Alexis Ajinca?
Also, I’d take Leon Powe, though we already have Blair

The list is outdated. I think Elson signed with the 76ers and Dampier with the Hawks. A number of players like Dorsey are playing overseas this year. Ike may be available, and I think Bobby Simmons is playing in the DLeague, but I don’t think it would help to sign either one. Malcolm Thomas might be worth bringing back, and the Toros two 6’9" forwards are also having good seasons.
Pop indicated that he’d likely play some more small ball for a few games, which might be all that Tiago misses if he misses any games.
It is probably is outdated, is from nba.com, they still had Martin as a FA and few other guys with current teams. I tried to edit it
"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."
—Popovich on Manu Ginobili
A logical starting place, I just happened to have looked at pretty much the same list earlier this week and discovered most of the more interesting names already looked committed. Dorsey is playing with the Greek team Olympiacos, Ajinca for Strasbourg,Armstrong for Asvel and Darnell Jackson for Donetsk. Leon Powe may be available, but may not have fully recovered from ACL surgery. Many of the others are hanger-ons. On the other hand, Malcolm Thomas in his last 3 dleague games has played 94 minutes and scored 45 points on 21-28 shooting with 25 rebounds, 5 assists and 10 blocks. Bring him back and give him some minutes and you could have another Lin story.
no scoped!

i hate to say this but …. the most probable thing to happen is Pop playing small ball with Kawhi at PF

Well that was immensely enjoyable…
The Clippers are a good young team and beating them on their homecourt in the midst of a long road trip is something to be proud of. SA kept getting in its own way, free throws readily come to mind, but I’ll take it.
And what exactly to the Clippers have to do to get a technical foul called against them? Kenyon Martin’s antics alone are a 48-minute bitchfest and guys like Griffin, Jordan, Butler and Foye were being plenty demonstrative as well. They get a lot of leeway.
Asked before the game how Parker has looked, Popovich said, "He’s still cute. "

ESPN, if you’re reading this I know you guys have to fluff Blake Griffin on every available opportunity and he had a lot of dunks today. But there’s this guy on the Spurs. Gary Neal. He did something really dramatic today in the fourth quarter.
Neal can haz play of the day? Plz? kthxbai
Asked before the game how Parker has looked, Popovich said, "He’s still cute. "
Pop says in postgame presser answer for losing Splitter probably ends up being more small ball.

He used to have the highest FG% in the NBA. Of course, the Ws play no team game, so it’s really hard to say whether he can play or not.

Grading calf muscle strains
Muscle strains are graded from 1-3, with grade 1 being a minor tear, with up to 10% of fibres involved. A grade 2 tear involves up to 90% of the muscle fibres and a grade 3 is over 90% of fibres torn, or a full rupture. This usually occurs at the muscular tendinous junction or the achilles tendon itself.
Grade 1:
A twinge of pain in the back of the lower leg.
May be able to play on.
Tightness and aching in the 2-5 days after.
Grade 2
Sharp pain in the back of the lower leg.
Pain when walking.
There may be swelling in the calf.
Mild to moderate bruising.
Pain on resisted plantarflexion.
Tightness and aching for a week or more.
Grade 3
Severe immediate pain.
A sudden pain at the back of the leg, often at the muscular tendinous junction (see image below).
Inability to contract the muscle.
Considerable bruising and swelling.
In the case of a full rupture, often the muscle can be seen to be bunched up towards the top of the calf.
Do or do not! There is no try!
full rupture is very rare. Chances are it’s a grade 2

(Full disclaimer: I hate everyone.) -- Fred Silva and JRW
His improvements on defense are high biggest thing IMO. he’s made vast improvements there. His help D is really good.
Winter is coming
Yes. And as much as we mock his shy-hook, it is a serviceable counter to his three.
He is closing out well on shooters, grabbing boards. Pop has to be please with him.
Now Jefferson and Blair, those are different stories…
(Full disclaimer: I hate everyone.) -- Fred Silva and JRW
The big thing with Blair, is he’s so limited that his versatility doesn’t work. he can only really play with Duncan and be somewhat effective.
Although RJ is frustrating, he’s serviceable. He’s average too often, but average is enough to keep him in games. He was able to play the 4 position a bit. Obviously, for what they pay, he should do more though.
Now would RJ get time if Neal was not such a horrid defender? Probably a lot less.

He played good today, but I’d wait to see how much of his betterment is due to playing with Splitter and also Duncan playing better this season than last.

He plays better with Duncan and Splitter, but he shows his improvement by not being as big a weakness. His off the dribble has improved over the past year to 2 years. he can now stop and pop or use that flip shot he has. On D, his help has been pretty solid. He boxed out Blake in a key rebounding play. That stands out a lot in my eyes.

(Full disclaimer: I hate everyone.) -- Fred Silva and JRW
He did occasionally, but they blew the game under his watch too. He has assistants as well But they are really bad compared to what they could be. Bulls still won with Vinny as well. But when it came time to take it to th enext level, he was not the guy

On the other hand, we got lucky with that last play in regulation. Clippers played good enough to beat us today.
(Full disclaimer: I hate everyone.) -- Fred Silva and JRW
Of course. I don’t blame that on Vinny. In no way am I saying he’s complete trash, but he’s not a good coach either. Spurs suffered more from missing Manu and Splitter. That and Bonner/Blair made its appearance again.
Spurs got really lucky, but also bad luck with two straight plays where they bobbled the pass. Neal made up for his, but RJ the play before pulled that too.

Well, he somehow blew a thirty or forty point lead to the Kings (a bad team)
He also got trashed by everyone in Chicago for bad rotations, a predictable offense, and bad coaching in general.

Perhaps, but if history plays out as it has done consistently, he’ll maximize his margin and spend just as much to keep his profit as high as it is. Seriously, if Clippers were run by even Holt and company, they’d make so much money. Or if by Cuban, they’d spend a lot, but make a whole lot and win. I mean, Clippers and Lakers in LA. That would be huge.
They got lucky by drafting Blake, and then getting CP3, but we’ll see when the role players and everyone else needs to be traded.

DTS has spent $ going back to Maggette and Brand…was vdn a cheap hire? Maybe, since the Bulls were partially paying for him when the Clippers picked him up…but calling DTS cheap when it comes to players, that’s not accurate in recent history.

But you have to put up some money. He also does enough to bring in guys who will keep people in seats. But outside of that, his history speaks for itself. Thank goodness the NBA also has a penalty for spending too little, just like when you spend too much.
I really wish, the NBA would take the team away from him. I feel like Clipper fans could have had so much more if not for a better owner.

“Probably the worst play I’ve been a part of since I’ve been in the NBA.” —Chris Paul on the turnover
Even though Gomes put him in a bad position there’s no excuse to throw it towards your own basket. If he’s attempting to save a backcourt violation, then throw it into the front court. Paul fucked up. No way around that.
Nuggets center Nene will not play Sunday against the Thunder. He will miss his fourth straight game with a calf injury.

I think this sums up everything….
Gomes inbound again…
OMG GOMES IS PASSING IN
NO GOME NO
I have officially seen everything in the game of basketball.
I do not believe what I just saw.

Sorry I missed this game—sounds like I saved myself from some stress by doing so though lol. Great win! 10 in a row! Hope Manu and Tiago are ok though.

" Spurs assistant Don Newman said Manu took "two vicious blows" and was still trying to come back. Newman was talking to Bill Schoening on the Spurs radio postgame. "

A man gets the eye of a Tiger, but a Tiger gets the eye of a Manu.
Oh I almost forgot. Did anyone else see what Chris Paul did at the end of the half? Someone shot a half court shot and it hit hard off the back board to Paul. He grabbed the ball and Green was with him and Paul had an egregious flop attempt into a quick fake fight attempt versus Green. He’s such a punk ass.
This is bad news. The teams stacked perimeter showed it could get along without Manu, but Splitter has been playing really good.

Walked out with @manuginobili, and he had trouble walking. Oblique muscle hurt that much. Injured initially in Detroit. “Weird,” he said.

Well, at least now I wont hate the Clippers as much as I was starting to…..

Too bad Pop cant force Manu to sit out until there are about 20 games left in the season. I am not kidding. This might be the last shot the Spurs have at a title for a long time.

At least Pop has depth where he can force him to sit more minutes. that said, Need to bubble wrap him.

I know is not important but the Spurs deserve 2 highlights on NBA youtube
Parker buzzerbeater in the 2 quarter and Neal 3pt shot
"My first dribble was actually toward the rim," Neal said, "and then I remembered we were down three, so I had to get a 3-pointer."
Both Toros forwards and Malcolm Thomas are currently playing for their respective D-League teams, btw.
