Stallions run over Nuggets in season opener

San Antonio, TX - Halfway through the third quarter, it was as if the Stallion were going to cruise past the Nuggets to take the win on the opener of the 2005-2006 regular season. The Stallions were scoring left and right and were steadily moving on to victory but the NUggets were not giving up without a fight. They fired up a 12-2 scoring run to drop the Stallions lead to 2. In the end, the Stallions proved to be the better team by initiating several runs of their own during the fourth quarter.

The game ended with a score of 102-94 in favor of the hometown Stallions. Tim Duncan garnered player of the game honors after getting 18 points, 6 rebounds and 8 monstrous blocks. Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker both scored 22 points to lead the Stallions and scoring. Parker also dished 5 assists.

Nene stepped up his game after starting forward Kenyon Martin was sidelined halfway throught the first quarter with a broken foot. Nene lead the Nuggets in scoring with 19 points. Martin never returned to the game and will be out indefinitely. Earl Boykins scored 13 points while Carmelo Anthony had a scoring slump sinking only 5 of his 19 shot attempts to end the game with 10 points.

During halftime, former San Antonio Spurs mascot had his retirement ceremony. He passed the torch to new Stallions mascot , who is said to be Detroit Pistons mascot, Hooper's second cousin twice removed. Hyper was tapped after Hooper, who was rumored to be leaving the Pistons, stayed in Detroit.

Great work with the recap. The pics look great!

[Jing]

nice stuff null, great pics and very nice reading recap

[kibaxx7]

Really nice man I love that boxscores. Great job.

[nbalive744]

Great coverage and pics, nice job on the mascot jersey switch .

[Null17]

Technically, it's not a jersey switch since it originally didn't have a jersey. And it's pretty badly done IMO.

Seems like even in NBA Live, the season opener curse is still on denver. wonder if Kmart will be out for the season too

Ginobili leads the Stallions to another win against the Cavs

San Antonio, TX - Tim Duncan had a disappointing night against the Cavaliers scoring only 13 points and 7 rebounds but the Stallions didn't lose hope as Manu Ginobili and Michael Finley stepped up their game to scoring 54 of the Stallions' total of 106 points. Finley had perfect field goal and free throw percentages to score 22 points and also grab 6 rebounds while Ginobili scored the game-high 32 points and 7 assists. Tony Parker contributed 13 points as well as 6 assists to seal the Stallions win.

While Lebron James showed a great performance that is expected of him with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, the rest of the Cavs had a disappointing run at the SBC Center especially Larry Hughes who only made 2 of his 7 field goal attempts to contribute to his 6 points for the night. Damon Jones was given more playing time in place of Hughes due to Hughes' poor performance. Other notable performance is center Zydrunas Ilgauskas double double of 14 points and 13 rebounds.

The Stallions left for Dallas a few hours after the game to start a series of games on the road starting with the Mavericks.

[brad feet]

[Null17]

Is it me or do I get less replies when I post game updates than when I post weird stuff like tournaments and magazines

And about the mascot, I wished I could've given him a better name...Hyper was the first thing that came into my head because of Hooper

[kibaxx7]

Nice win man... great game from my man Manu!

[nbalive744]

Nice win, keep up the good work, good to see Manu playing like himself.

[Jing]

good game man, like the recaps

[killer_cr0ss0ver]

hyper? is that final? what about Gallop?!!

[Null17]

Nah, Hyper's fine so he'll sound related to Hooper. It's probably the last time I mention him anyway

[colickyboy]

great wins...nice screen recaps on the stallion vision. looks like your team is stacked... one guy has a bad game, no prob...others step up. as the slam mag predicted, this s/b a powerhouse indeed

The Roadtrip Roundup
Stallions' record still perfect after long road trip

After a grueling week on the road, the Stallions still managed to come out on top. The Stallions played 5 games on the road against the Mavericks, the Bulls, the Bobcats, the Celtics and the Wizards in that order. Amazingly, they won all those games to maintaint their perfect record in the regular season. Tim Duncan had great performances in all the games contributing a lot on the scoring and rebounding department. Manu Ginobili had several disappointing games but still managed to contribute.

The Stallions will be back in San Antonio on the 15th to face the Atlanta Hawks.

Dallas - 11/5/2005

Dallas, TX - The Mavericks had a very unlucky game as Dirk Nowitzki had a bad night only contributing 8 points and a rebound. Josh Howard also injured his arm from contact during a drive at the latter half of the 1st quarter. He later came back during the second half to finish the game with 11 points. Jason Terry and Doug Christie tried to contribute with 17 and 13 points respectively but that wasn't enough to take the win from the Stallions who had three players who scored more than 20 points.

Chicago - 11/7/2005

Chicago, IL - The Stallions proved to be too much for the Baby Bulls as their 98 points paled in comparison to the 125 points that the Stallions put up. The Bulls defense couldn't handle the Stallions offensive prowess with both Tim DUncan and Michael Finley contributing 28 points while Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili posted 21 and 17 points respectively. The Bulls also had a hard time executing their offensive game. None of their players scored more than fifteen points. Even Kirk Hinrich, who led the team in scoring for the game, only made 4 of his 20 field goal attempts.
