Game thread or scrimmage thread?

Dave Bing · 02-14-2012, 07:44 PM

Maxy is really having an offensive resurgence. That move on the block was easy as pie.

Dave Bing · 02-14-2012, 07:47 PM

Moose with some nice straight up defense on Duncan.

Dave Bing · 02-14-2012, 07:57 PM

Again, no double team. Moose forces the turnover from Duncan.

I'm not saying that Moose is in Duncan's class, but of all centers out there, I see some offensive similarity between Monroe and Duncan. Not defensively but offensively.

Dave Bing · 02-14-2012, 07:59 PM

News flash. Our perimeter defense is poor and we can't rebound worth a damn.

I agree. Not a high flying approach but rather taking advantage of fundamentals.

Also, check you mail box.

Dave Bing · 02-14-2012, 08:03 PM

Splitter looks like Olajuwon against our porous pick and roll d.

Dave Bing · 02-14-2012, 08:04 PM

Shit, did anyone see where the wheels are? What? The wheels have come off? Damn.

Stefan S · 02-14-2012, 08:21 PM

closed to -1 just to allow the Spurs to go on 9-0 run.
Crazy!

Stefan S · 02-14-2012, 08:23 PM

The palace is 3/4 empty.
It feels strange and weird.

Stefan S · 02-14-2012, 08:32 PM

Nice to watch Duncan-Monroe battle.
Mostly, D is schooling the young man.

Dave Bing · 02-14-2012, 08:34 PM

Moose started strong but has fallen off.

Dave Bing · 02-14-2012, 08:36 PM

Crimminy. You have to guard Bonner for three.

Kstat · 02-14-2012, 08:59 PM

Monroe getting humiliated by 89-year old tim duncan...wow.

The rest of the NBA abuses that old man like a turnstile, but Monroe can't find a way to score on him? Seriously?

Kstat · 02-14-2012, 09:07 PM

Monroe has been chased from the game by a museum piece. 2/11 shooting, with absolutely no defensive help given to tim duncan. Way to show up, big guy.

Kstat · 02-14-2012, 09:27 PM

Ben Wallace for threeeeeeee!

We need that Duncan/Spock photo posted for old times' sake.

Kstat · 02-14-2012, 09:47 PM

The Pistons have gone on a 36-22 run since Frank told Monroe to take a seat and watch the rest of the game from the bench.

Kstat · 02-14-2012, 09:48 PM

spurs resorting to the hack-a-ben....been a while since we've seen this.

Kstat · 02-14-2012, 09:52 PM

That was one of the weakest flops ive ever seen. And he actually got that call.

Call me crazy, but falling down behind a guy that's backing you down should be a defensive foul.

tin mad dog · 02-14-2012, 09:52 PM

Fucking floppy bitch.

Stefan S · 02-14-2012, 09:56 PM

hard to listen to those assholes Elliot and co

Kstat · 02-14-2012, 09:59 PM

wow...ben gordon wide open and he airballs a three.

tin mad dog · 02-14-2012, 10:00 PM

Then compounds it with a Tech.

Gordo is thinking Lotto Balls!

Kstat · 02-14-2012, 10:01 PM

Ben Gordon's dumbass technical cost us a chance to tie the game...

Also his utter surprise when he was given the ball on the last play. Totally unprepared to shoot.

Between Gordon and Monroe, two very unprofessional efforts cost us this game. Shame on both of them.

Stefan S · 02-14-2012, 10:02 PM

tough loss.

this tech by Gordon was too big a blunder, inexcusable

Dave Bing · 02-14-2012, 10:03 PM

Ping! Pong! Ping! Pong!

Kstat · 02-14-2012, 10:03 PM

the sad thing is Brandon Knight actually WAS fouled on his three, and he didn't stand there and bitch that it should have been a 4-point play. You'd think someone as professional as Gordon would have the same presence of mind.

Kstat · 02-14-2012, 10:04 PM

Back to Monroe, hopefully he learned a lesson about being a professional tonight. Frank was absolutely justified in benching him.

Stefan S · 02-14-2012, 10:06 PM

why do you think he was unprofessional?

Maybe he just did not have it tonight, there are night like this when you do not have legs, or focus, or have stomach cramps or something.

Kstat · 02-14-2012, 10:08 PM

The star of the team doesn't get benched for the last 18 minutes of a game still in doubt because he "just don't have it."

He was slacking off on defense and hanging his head because he was ice cold from the floor. It's a disease Austin Daye seems to be spreading to the rest of the locker room. His effort to start the 2nd half was atrocious, and Tim Duncan was eating him alive on routine plays.

As far as focus goes, that's expected from someone supposed to be the star of the team. He's supposed to play hard every night, not just the nights where everything is coming easy.

mn3 · 02-14-2012, 11:00 PM

One poor game and you've turned on him?

FadedMario · 02-14-2012, 11:15 PM

Spurs are lame to pull the shit they were pulling at the end. No wonder everyone hates them. Hack-a-Ben against a team that is 8-21??? Fuck that.

Ping Pong balls baby!

Agreed. I also agree with the guy that made the Austin Daye comment. We need his ass off the team. Don't need that sissy attitude around the other young guys.

WTF happened to Daye man?? I mean, shit - he's fucken terrible.

rpmfla · 02-14-2012, 11:32 PM

Ben Gordon is a great shooter but he just continues to make such bonehead plays. I have never seen anyone fumble the ball out of bounds with no one up tight on him as much as him. I am starting to wonder about his level of concentration. Times running out, you have the ball, you are one of the best shooters on the team, so you pass it to a covered Brandon Knight who is further out than you? He should just be told to catch the damn ball and shoot the damn ball. No pump fakes, no dribbling off your foot, no passing it to a non-shooter with 2 seconds on the shot clock (as I've seen him do several times). he is the most frustrating player to watch because when he plays to his skills and shoots the ball without hesitation he is amazing.

Good comeback, but toward the end they stopped sharing the ball, Stuckey forced things (he tried one shot closely surrounded by 4!!! Spurs), and a great performance from Big Ben was wasted. I guess those of you wanting losses are happy. I try to be but it is hard to watch.

I don't know. They did what, given the rules of the game, maxed their chances to win. It's on Ben to learn to shoot those FTs.

Now, their flopping (which they probably hone during their practice sessions) and their announcers were super annoying.

DYNOMITE · 02-15-2012, 07:35 AM

If you don't like pouting and hanging your head you should have been against wanting Prince back on this team.
