Post#1 » by Nolan » Wed Feb 19, 2014 3:02 pm

When: 10:00 PM ET, February 19, 2014

Should be a good tonight. Portland been struggling a bit lately so hopefully we can jump on them and get another much needed win.

Go Spurs!!

And they're without Aldridge. That's where it gets interesting for me. It's Portland's first game without LMA and they're not a deep team. Their boxscores shows they usually only play 8 guys. I think this is a game that we can actually steal too.

That's definitely a game we can steal.

POR usually gives SA huge problems because of LMA.
Shaq on Duncan:SA won because of TD, a guy I could never break.I could talk trash to Ewing, get in D-Rob's face, get a rise out of Mourning,but when I went at Tim he’d look at me like he was bored and say:“Hey,Shaq, watch this shot right off the glass.”

The defense has been awful so far.

Sloppy first quarter for both teams.

Marco playing well at the end of the 2nd. Not loving jeff ayers this game. Wouldn't mind seeing what Baynes has in the tank.

I don't understand why Manu doesn't take the 15 foot jumpers he is given. He doesn't need to drive everything to the hole, especially with that hamstring.

Portland's offense looks awful without Aldridge.

The only plus to all the injuries is the emergence of Patty. He was ballin for Australia the last two summers. Glad it's finally translating to the NBA.

25 different starting lineups? Is that true? We've never started the same five more than three times? That sounds wrong.

The Portland commentators have been pretty good, but they keep comparing our injury problems. Our three best players are all not playing, one of their best players isn't playing and a backup. Not even close.

Good win, Marco, Patty, and Manu carrying us. If we win the Phoenix game no spurs fan can complain about this Rodeo Trip.

Great win. I think Mills' improvement this season has been why Pop has been able to rest Parker with "various maladies".

Why did they leave Beli open so often? Did they not see the 3PT shootout? He can fill it up just a bit.

Two straight wins against good west teams. Liking it.
