[Nolan]

When: 7:00 PM ET, November 8, 2010
Where: Time Warner Cable Arena, Charlotte, NC



VS



Starting Lineups:

Spurs:
PG - Tony Parker
SG - Manu Ginobli
SF Richard Jefferson
PF Tim Duncan
C Dejuan Blair

Bobcats:
PG - D.J. Augustin
SG - Stephen Jackson
SF - Gerald Wallace
PF - Boris Diaw
C - Nazr Mohammed

We're 10-2 all time against the Bobcats and we're 7-0 against them when Tony Parker has 5 or more assists. The Bobcats are one of the worst offensive teams in the league, but they're a top ten defensive team. The key to game is going to be the play of our bench. The Bobcats have one of the worst benchs in the league and if we can exploit that weakness we can win this game with ease.

Go Spurs!!

It's going to be a good game, I can't wait.

- Spurs 4 life.

I'll say that this is a game we might lose.

We're away. Charlotte's rested. Their 2 best players (Jax and Gerald Wallace) are slashers and if the first 5 games tells us anything, it's that we won't stop them from doing that. We'll have to get offensive productions from our stars and that's where I think won't happen on the road that often. RJ might have an off night. George Hill still injured. Charlotte's a pretty good defensive team. We might have trouble scoring.

Hoping that doesn't happen, but wouldn't surprise me if we lose. Charlotte's struggling this season. I hope we're not the team that turns their season around.

Game about to start

[Nolan]

We've missed way to many easy shots so far.

[co_laper]

5 minutes passed in the 1st quarter. Spurs are missing point blank shots. Duncan missed 2 post ups. Jefferson missed a layup. Blair missed an under the rim shot.
Spurs down 6-13

[Nolan]

Good timeout by Pops. We're playing sloppy bball right now.

[co_laper]

Charlotte's made 4 threes in the game. 16-8 Charlotte with 6 minutes left in 1st quarter.

[Nolan]

Timmy just destroyed Diop.

[co_laper]

Duncan's shots not falling unless he's dunking it... That's 3 misses...

[co_laper]

George Hill is back? I didn't know he was available for this game.

[Nolan]

Our defense is looking better. Shots just aren't falling on offense.

[co_laper]

Duncan is not even making his bank shot.

[Nolan]

Duncan is not even making his bank shot.

He's been off so far tonight. Diop's doing a good job on him.

[Nolan]

Sloppy first quarter, we're missing way to many wide open shots.

[co_laper]

26-19 end of of first quarter.

The good thing is that we're getting looks. Shots just aren't falling down. If we get the same looks through out the game, it'll eventually goes down. Good job guarding Charlotte, but they just don't have much offensive weapon either.

I thought we'd have more trouble with Gerald Wallace. Guys like Chris Paul and Eric Gordon hurt us using dribble penetration. Gerald don't have that great of a handle to do that.

[Nolan]

Tiago is amazing at drawing offensive fouls.

[co_laper]

Wow... nice job Splitter. Drew an offensive foul on Nazr and made a follow up dunk.

Andy V must of taught him a few things.

[Nolan]

Our shots are starting to fall. Now we just need to cut out some of the awful turnovers.
