NBA Live 10 Simulation: Regular Season : San Antonio Spurs at Portland Trail Blazers

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:05:54 -0500

What's up everyone! I am back with this week's winning pick for the Simulation. Last night was a tough night for us on the floor as we all painfully watched our beloved Spurs get taken down by the Jazz. No fear, we are undefeated when I am doing these sims so we SHOULD win tonight. Just some notes before the jump. I do play these games out in full to get the most realistic stats that I can. I simply play my own style of game. Full 4...

Spurs vs Kings: Stat(s) of the Game: 4, 10 and 87.5

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 13:26:42 -0500

I've picked three stats for this game because in a beatdown where our team dominates, it's somewhat difficult. Like my last stat of the game, these stats show the Spurs growth from last year to this year. The stats after the jump.... The Spurs and Pop, more specifically, scout players and give them a purpose or a task. We are a team full of specialists led by three serious jack of all trades for their position. I won't go into how much Parker, D...

San Antonio Spurs 2010 Season Preview

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:00:34 -0500

The Spurs 2010 season FINALLY starts on Wednesday. I say finally because I have been stoked ever since the trade for Jefferson on June 23rd. I sat and watched us snag DeJuan Blair in the draft. I read about us signing Antonio McDyess. I sat, in an uncomfortable chair I might add, and watched game after game of the Summer League in July as George Hill and Malik Hairston showed how much better they were. Then two months of boring old summer where...

8 Guys You May Have Forgotten Are Still in the League

Sat, 29 Aug 2009 11:23:43 -0500

Theo Ratliff The inspiration for this list, Ratliff joins the Spurs this season (his 5th team in four years) presumably to stand in the paint and be tall. He was able to average 1 block in about 12 minutes a game for the Sixers last season, so his one-dimensional game appears to be intact. Brian Cardinal Currently employed [...]

Get to Know Your New San Antonio Spurs #4: Theo Ratliff

Sat, 01 Aug 2009 12:00:11 -0500

The Spurs went out last week and signed Theo Ratliff. Everyone probably knew that already, but it's time we all get to know a little more about Theo himself. Get that weaksauce outta here, Benjamin. Theodophilus(not made up) Ratliff was born in 1973, so this doesn't exactly continue the Spurs' "youth movement", which was a made up idea, outside of the draft and getting Richard Jefferson for 3 older guys. But if there's any position where w...

Some Puds Get All The Breaks! Spurs Sign Theo Ratliff!

Here is a little observation from your old pal New York Vinnie! There are some people in life who just everything always goes the right way for them. They can not mess it up no matter how hard they try! This PUD is a perfect example Theo Frickin Radcliff maybe one of the luckiest bums [...]

Why We Signed Theo Ratliff

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 22:50:43 -0500

Why We Signed Theo Ratliff I know some of you have wondered: is it because the Spurs desperately needed a 7th big? Is it because we're a lousy shot-blocking team? Is it because we were getting too young too fast? Well, no. It's because with Theo comes Youngevity! Imagine the new heights our old and tired veterans might reach using Reboundfx, or even Pig Pak! That's the kind of outside-the-box thinking that RC and Pop bring to the table. Well done, Spurs, well done. ...

Philadelphia 76ers Like Porn Stars With Big Jugs

Here's some screen caps that were emailed to me a while back. They're from the waning moments of Orlando's 106-100 win over the Sixers at the Wachovia (What the hell is it now?) Center on Feb. Yeah, it was a tough night for 76er Theo Ratliff that evening (0 points), but at least he was ...
