VS

On

God know we have been playing like crap without out big three together... but they are now back and if there was ever a statement game for us it will be this one that is coming up. The Pistons are as good as ever and have been on a roll.

At home. Against Detroit. On TNT. Big three back.

Yeah, I'm going with a win... by... 4-5 pts. Should be a good one!

Jason Maxiell is fun, by the way

I agree with TD that this could be a statement game..we need a big win..we should have came out with wins vs. Denver and Golden State, but ran out of energy at the end of both games..so this one is big..

For some reason I don't feel that any game for us this season has been a statement game yet. We're the champs, until we're dethroned I think other teams have to make a statement against us, not the other way around.

Never seen the Spurs take so many bad shots in a quarter.

Honestly I am not liking what I am seeing....

If we are down 20 at the half...

I have to respectfully disagree..we've been playing like **** since the injuries occured, and since the injured players returned..we need to make a statement, especially if we continue losing the game right now..

our record vs. West playoff teams has been mediocre by our standards..our D has been mediocre by our standards..20th in defensive fg%? unacceptable..

it's hard to judge with a team like the Spurs..are we just coasting? or is it a slump like we had last year for a little stretch? or are we just not as good as we think? I don't think it's the latter, since we were 17-3 at some point..

even when everyone is healed from injuries and everything is clicking again, we need to adjust a few aspects..

so apparently, only Duncan is showing up for tonight's game..I hate how he passed it twice after he missed the FT..just keep shooting Timmy..it's tough getting a good shot, but Parker and Ginobili haven't been able to do anything..

TP is great and all, but we NEED another defender on the wing..Ime has to fit the role..he's shown flashes..Bruce has shut down whoever he's been covering, but the other guard has been beating Parker..this has also heavily affected Parker on the offensive side, since he's 1-9, on a lot of shots he would usually make..Finley isn't good enough to fit the role..

btw, the shot selection tonight is digusting..it's gotten better in the 3rd quarter, but in general, it has been bad..

HarlemHeat37 · Post #14 » by **HarlemHeat37** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 2:57 am

apparently we're allergic to giving the ball to Duncan..

Ginobili likes to take stupid shots, and then Bonner pulls up for a 3..

We made a mini run... but we shouldn't be in this position.

HarlemHeat37 · Post #16 » by **HarlemHeat37** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 3:08 am

I don't like Pop taking Duncan out..he's saving his energy for later, but we won't be close without him IMO he's the only one doing ANYTHING significant..

Ginobili is just chucking right now..****..just leave Duncan on, and give him the ball..I don't want to see another loss, it's getting annoying..

HarlemHeat37 · Post #17 » by **HarlemHeat37** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 3:12 am

wtf is Michael Finley doing? he steps back and shoots a 3 early in the shot clock, and hits the side of the backboard..apparently he doesn't realize he's covered by Prince, and that he isn't nearly as good as he used to be..

Blame Rasho · Post #18 » by **Blame Rasho** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 3:12 am

TD needs to be back in the game... we were right there and now down 11.

HarlemHeat37 · Post #19 » by **HarlemHeat37** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 3:21 am

Lindsey Hunter is killing us..

Duncan should have never went off, we could have actually had a legit chance at winning the game..he was doing everything on both sides..but sometimes I think he needs to start shooting more..I'd rather have Duncan take a bad shot, then Ginobili shoot a contested step back 3, and Finley shoot his usual shots..

I'm not just overexaggerating after a loss, because I've been saying this since early on in the season when we were winning..but what the **** is the point of having Finley on the team? I'm sure we could replace him with a shooter that won't take a bunch of stupid shots, and maybe he could be a solid defender too..

it's a shame that we lose when Jaque Vaughn has had a solid game though..he has improved a lot this year..I no longer worry when he comes in the game..

when Parker and Ginobili are missing, their shot selection looks REALLY bad..

Bad game, hopefully we get it together soon.
