Big big game for us. We need this win badly for confidence and for placing in the standings. I say we win by 4.

This is a huge game.

As a Lakers fan, im not a big fan of both.

I hope it will be a good game. I like TP, i like Dirk more now, and Kidd of course.

Well if we win this game it will say that we can play bad and still win...

Well TD is playing like crap...

Dirk is hurt...

I hope he is well...

I like how Udoka is playing...

Manu ices the game...

Ballings7 · Post #12 » by **Ballings7** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 7:56 pm

Good, tough-minded team win! Fun game.

Manu played quite a game

Continue to love Udoka, he played a key part off the bench on both ends

Tim despite struggling offensively early, turned it around strongly in the 2nd half, and of course was a serious factor defensively

Dirk going out kinda sucks, but we were already making our come back and had the momentum when that happened, also.. so who knows how the game would of gone. Hopefully for competition-sake Dirk's not out for awhile. I didn't mind he went from the game, and won't mind if he's out for some time, though.

Glad to see Josh Howard was slowed down, I think being a combination of the defense and Howard having his struggles, not being quite the same player since the Kidd trade (or around there). Not sure if he's been playing hurt.

As expected, were on a winning streak now at 3

I thought Howard would play much better with Kidd... but he is more of an iso guy. He is a ballstopper in my opinion and that is why he doesn't mesh well with him.

Ballings7 · Post #14 » by **Ballings7** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 8:43 pm

Yeah, I thought he'd do better as well, because of his finishing ability (half-court or break) and making easy shots off jumpers or drives. But I guess getting the ball less and the offense changing has effected him. With their offense before being quite a bit of isolations.

Great win. The offense in the 1st half had me banging my head against the wall, but defense was solid. Both picked up dramatically in the 2nd half. Sucked to see Dirk go down, though.

Great win! Hopefully the Spurs can keep winning, I hope they go on at least a 5 game win streak. Dirk getting hurt does suck, hope he makes a speedy recovery.

although the injuries happened differently it reminds me of the Duncan injury he suffered in December where it looked like he injured both his knee and his ankle, it was only his ankle as it seems with Dirk, hope he recovers quick, never like to see a player injured.

I was thinking of when Duncan hurt his ankle vs the Pistons in 05 when that happened...

Yes, but Dirk's fall looked much worse. Duncan's feet were already planted on the floor, he just got his feet tangled up while turning to the basket. Dirk on the other hand was coming down after jumping, when he leg buckled, so all his weight landed on the leg. Needless to say, they were both pretty painful to watch.
