Spurs at Pacers 2/5/08

[Ballings7]

Intrigued for this game, first game in a little while off that fun Suns win

Damon's debut, probably?

Spurs by 6

The Pacers have lost a few in a row.

But we still suck lately, despite the W over Phx the other day.

Hopefully Gimpy Mouse helps.

I didn't like this 1st half..the D didn't carry over at all from the Suns game..79% for the Pacers in the 1st quarter..we should be blowing this game out if the D was effective at all..

the offense has been great so far, apart from a few mistakes..Finley needs to learn how to dribble..JV is playing amazingly..he's looking like TP with all of his drives so far..Duncan has been dominating..Udoka and Boiwen need to make open 3's though..

mainly, the D needs to get better in the 2nd half, and that should give us a win..if we don't play better on D, then this one will go down to the wire..

[Blame Rasho]

Well Indy just got their 2nd FG after a nightmare of a first half for us...

[Ballings7]

Now, that was some balance right there - and sick defense.

[HarlemHeat37]

beautiful D in the 3rd quarter by the Spurs..

if Ginobili was even playing decent, this would be a 20+ point game..he better play better vs. Washington tomorrow..

[Ballings7]

Great to see Horry hitting some shots tonight... his defense has been there for a bit now, just has to get some shooting rhythm.

JV playing well again, I just love his simple game. I especially love how he contests shots. With the hand like, covering all or a lot of the vision of the shooter. Artest and Battier do it similarily, too.

[Ballings7]

Liking Damon, playing pretty well

[Ballings7]

Well played win

Nice games by Horry, JV, Damon, Timmy

[wizardg]

Its good to see that FOCUS coming back

[Magz50]

Damon impressed. Once TP is back we're gonna have a sick rotation. Manu is gonna love having a secondary shooter that can hit the dagger threes.

Funny quote from Damon after the game:

"By the end of the night Tuesday, after the Spurs had withstood a scoreboard-spinning first half from Indiana to run away with a 116-89 victory at Conseco Fieldhouse, Stoudamire had come away with a bonus lesson that wasn't on his crib sheet.

"Man," he marveled to a pair of his new teammates afterward, "you guys get everybody's best shot, huh?"
