Game Blog: Spurs at Bucks: 1/10/12

Time for the Spurs to get their first road victory.

Timmy starts the game off hot, couldn't miss with his jumper

few secs before end of the 1st quarter; Ford drove for a basket landed funny on his leg and went down; holding his left hamstring; have more info when available


Parker drives for basket to start the 2nd

Spurs 35-27

I love that Kawhi is moving around on offense the past 3 games; I think the Spurs are using him in a role they envisioned RJ for, slashing through the paint (even if he isn't an option on a certain play) to clear room for the planned play to open up.

I'm surprised that Sean is at a game in Milwaukee in the middle of the winter.

I hope TJ is ok. He's been doing a nice job.

strained left hamstring

RJ answers SJAX 3 to end the 2nd quarter

59-59 halftime

Leonard starting 2nd half

Parker, RJ, Kawhi, Blair, Duncan

Kawhi is doing a great job on D; just had a steal, drive, pass to Splitter for the finish.

Plus he has his 2nd consecutive double digit scoring night. (10 pts, 2 boards, 2 stls, 1 blk in 21 minutes)

Great game by Leonard. Excited to see him progress.

Pop saying he messed up at the end by not calling a timeout and then calls the Spurs one of the worst defensive teams he's had.

As much as it is nice that Pop is acknowledging that the Spurs aren't good defensively, it would be nice if he made some moves to improve the D:

1. No Bonner period
2. No Bonner/Blair line ups
3. Why didn't he use Green late in the game?
4. Play more Splitter, sure his offense hasn't been great, but his ability to protect the rim has been spot on.
5. SIGN ANOTHER DEFENSIVE PF/C!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!
