Spurs @ Jazz :: 1.26.2011 :: 7pm Utah Time

Momentum (good), hustle(good) catching up(yes), oh wait, oh NO NO NO here come Raja off the bench. Oh crap we're going to lose! My thought process late in the 4th. PLEASE stop playing that waste of space Bell. HE is WORTHLESS!!!!!!!!!!
 
Man, Jimmer was fantastic tonight. He can score from virtually anywhere on the court. I can't believe you guys wasted your time watching this crap. Tonight's college hoops game was awesome.
 
Millsap has to break out of this 5 game stretch. I don't know if he's hurt or just sucking, but I can't remember the last time both him and Al were clicking at the same time.
 
lol

Jeremy Evans almost outscored Millsap and AK in this one.

Wow
 
I just watched the game here in the Philippines. I see things as a former coach, that maybe the average fan doesn't see. The refs let the Spurs get away with murder. Popovich has taught his players every trick in the book to get an advantage, and the refs let them get away with it. Let me give you an example. The Spurs are great at pushing off with their body. Example the Jazz get close at the end of the game and Manu who is closely guarded goes inside and stands in front of the rim about 4 ft away. The ball is lobbed into him. How do the Spurs know we won't get the lob pass. While the ball is in the air Ginobli runs into the man guarding him with his chest and knocks him backwards towards the free throw line. The ball arrives and presto a lay-up right in front of the rim., and the beep beep ref is standing right there watching it. Easy to be a great team Spurs and great coach when the refs allow all the moving screens and pushing off with your body. Screw the NBA and their beep beep refs!
 
Continue to start Raja, but yank him after 8 minutes into the 1st and 3rd. If it makes more sense to play him more, do it, but only if it could conceivably make sense. In the meantime, play Hayward and Miles more for the love of god. Greg Miller needs to march into Sloan's office and back his pick like his dad did for Deron because Bell is just a player-coach out there, being more the latter than the former.

16 minutes. Closes the very occasional half or game. And take it a step further and tell him the new way we want to use him is less minutes, harder minutes like any backup, except he's playing his backup minutes to uncharacteristically open games and 2nd halves. So we want to see you get 3 fouls and punch the opposing 2 in the face in the first 8 minutes of every game.
 
Well let's look on the bright side

IT wasn't the refs fault that we lost tonight...

Or the night before...

Or the previous 4 games before that.
 
My Point

Right I understand the lack of focus and lack of hustle lately, but my point is it is darn hard to beat a team the is allowed to do the things the Spurs are. Of course Ak and Bell playing better could have made the refs work harder to get the Spurs the victory.
