the spurs shouldnt of lost those 2 games

[Klas~Sick]

this is bad news for the spurs, tim is gettin burned by shareef, when and if they advance to the 2nd round, they better bring everything vs the mavs, cuz the mavs are gonna sweep the griz, as i predicted, only sweep i got right :(

[ILLnSkILLz]

Bonzi and artest too much for their guards to handle. Bowens a great defender, but theyre too strong. Im a kings fan and im lovin this... but i know Spurs gonna bounce back hard... just gotta withstand it.

Winner of game 5 will take it.

go kings

[style-rip]

who cares about this series, its not like any of these teams have a chance against the lakers anyway

Spurs are going to win

It's serious time now.

I knew Artest was a lock down defender, but Manu Ginobili didn't make the trip out Sacramento.

Tony Parker has had a marvelouse season, but his floor leadership is craptacular for the moment.

If the Spurs are going to rely on his jump shot to win, they won't.

Tony Parker needs to keep driving the lane, get the motion offense going, and start trying to create for everyone, instead of practicing his stroke.

He can do that in the bedroom with Eva or whoever.

But you have to give credit to the Kings and their coaching staff. They have to difficult match ups for the Spurs in Artest and Bonzi and are playing to their strengths.

Fucking Bonzi has been a beast. Somebody please get this man a restraining order because he is beating the shit out of the Spurs on the glass.


I figured the Kings would give the Spurs close games, but I didn't expect them to win 2, and especially in the fasion they have won.

Honestly they have outplayed the Spurs 3 straight games.

It's not time to panic though. The Spurs have been in this situation before and are not liable to panic.

They need to recommit themselves to pounding the glass and getting up on defenders.

That was one of the sorriest games Bowen has had defensive wise in a while. I don't care if Bonzi is bigger, he needs to crowd him regardless.

If the Spurs want to win the next game, they have to attack the paint and pass the ball like they did in game 1. Parker must create for other players. Duncan needs some help on the low block, and Ginobili has to be given a chance to be the playmaker that he is.

I'm predicting a more aggresive Tim Duncan in game 5, look for him to put the Kings bigs in foul trouble early, like he did in game 7 of the NBA finals against Detriot last year. The Spurs need to remember that he is the key to everything they do.
...

They need to

[ILLnSkILLz]

lol @ they need to

Duncan dropped 30 last game. Shareef playing great against him, but yeat in SA will probly get more calls in their favor. But its simple that Bowen cant guard bonzi or artest. He can crowd as much as he wants but theyll just post him up all day.

And remember game 1 was a fluke. Not a fluke that spurs won, but they will never shoot that good again. 68% from field, 70% from 3 in first half. Shit was a joke, lol... hard to watch. But kings are gonna play Duncan 1 on 1 so they dont give up any more 3s. Duncan has to beat them by himself, which he is capable of doing, but it will be tough

[Cigma]

Haha, I didn't even notice that 'they need to' after my '...'

It was left over from when I was making points and shiz.


Bowen has to frustrate Wells, like he's done to other bigger players, like Dirk Nowitski.

He doesn't have to muscle him up, he has to use his defensive smarts.

If Bonzi tries to back him down, pull the chair. Deny him the ball on the wing, shit, Bowen knows how to defend.

He just didn't play well last game.

[The Jeus]

the spurs just looked kinda bored for most of the last 2 games, and when the kings got that fluke last second win on friday night they didn't look like they cared. give the ball to duncan more because shareef and miller are both inferior players.
