Taking that into account, I don't believe we're going to upset SA tonight. Predict and discuss!

I think the Raps will hang tough in this game, but San Antonio will show us why they are 3 time defending NBA champs. Spurs by 9.
Bosh and Duncan, what a matchup on paper. I'm interested to see how the interior is going to hold up against the Spurs. Parker and Manu are great guys to have slashing and cutting inside, add Duncans big body to the mix and the Raps are going to have a tough time holding these guys. I'm with Bobcats on this one, but I'm taking the Spurs by no more than 6.
I'm trying to figure out how our perimeter defense could have regressed so badly in a single game. Tony Parker's bringing two or three defenders into the paint with him on every drive and it's creating so many open looks. As much as our offense has fallen off a bit, our defense is the reason this is such a blowout. Hope Garbajosa is alright.
I thought this game was on the SCORE channel. Too bad i cant watch it, i dont have RapsTV. What happened to Anthony parker, and Garbo... are they injured?
Totally missed this game as I had night class. Although, from the looks of things I was probably lucky not to watch it. Someone give a recap! It sounded like Kevin O'neil drew up our offense tonight. Edit: Someone should stick their foot under Bruce Bowen in practice while he's shooting jumpers. If parkers injury is serious, I want blood.
He was undercut? I missed the injury, but if he was, Bruce Bowen must die. Our offense was the same as usual, but the Spurs kind of figured it out and we were being real lazy/inefficient. Basically, Popovich dared us to run something other than the pick and roll to get penetration, and we folded. The defense was what disgusted me.

The "classic" Bruce Bowen magical foot strikes again, it looks unintentional as always.
I watched the game live and saw the highlight, and if what Bruce Bowen did was intentional i have to give him the credit for being a great actor cause it by no means looked intentional. Also the play happened on a driving layup where as Bowen previous exploits in undercutting (Steve Francis, Vince Carter) have happened on jump shots. By the way it's easier to estimate where someones foot will land on a stand still jump shot (and get your foot under his) than it is when your opponent is driving to the basket.

Ya, after watching the clip again a few times I have to say there is no way Bowen planned to put his foot under Parker. It's just funny that Bowen is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Aparently Garbo is back practicing today and is expected to play against the rockets, good news.
