[Slo spurs fan]

Jim, this is a joke, right?

[DuncanMVP]

[CHAMPS AGAIN]

if spurs dont win by 20+ there are problems

Does not matter if SPURS win by 1 or 20+ a win is a win

[Rynospursfan]

Hornets are hot lately and have won 3 of their last 4 including a win over a Washington team that recently beat the Spurs. Nevertheless, I am predicting a 96-89 win for the Spurs.

[Hook Dem]

Spurs in a blowout!!!!!!! TD can rest.

[boutons]

BAD situation tonight.

Hornets been showing some game recently that is much better than their doormat ranking.

The Hornets will be hyped for the Spurs, especially with the Spurs playing like crap for the past week, esp since Hornets just beat the Wiz who beat Spurs last week.

In short, I'm sure the Hornets believe they can do it. They did it last year.

I don't know WTF the current pussy, soft Spurs believe right now. They certainly aren't playing like 40 - 12.

Suns keeps bombing away like robots,
Pistons playing like defending Titlists,
Rockets gelling, and even scoring!!, very well.

But the Spurs? Who TF knows which Spurs are gonna show up?

======================

and then Pop says this on Pop Show:

[SuperManu!!!]

Today Manu is going to have a huge game.... and who do I know it? BEcause the game is going to be broadcasted to argentina and every time this happend, manu had a huge game (Like the first game against miami or phoenix)

[CHAMPS AGAIN]

SPURS win by 20+ tonight,than all so called SPURS fan will come out an say it does not prove anything they can beat the hornets,but can not beat the Heat 4 out of 7 in the finals.

[CHAMPS AGAIN]

No vbookie bets tonight. I feel like some spurs fans a loser, have lost like 7 in a roll maybe I should start a rumor I'm getting traded for Malik Rose.According to sources inside CHAMPS AGAIN, the SPURS have contacted them for a possible trade that will include Malik ROSE.HOOPSHYPE.com and REALGM.com have confirmed this deal will happend before the ALL STAR GAME or as early as possible in the near future. The SPURS have denied or confirmed this rumor.In other news KARL MALONE might consider coming back and play this season with a team to be named later.

[smeagol]

Do I get a Spur if I'm right?

Spurs 99

NO 87

[Frenchise player]

Spurs 110
NO 90

[Manu20]

Spurs 103
Hornets 84

[rascal]

Spurs 96
NO 92

NO is without Baron Davis, Magliore, Mashburn (all season) those are their top players.
They have beaten Wash and GS and a banged up Portland team in Portland so they have played well of late so they should keep it close but SA will manage to squeak out a win.

Spurs are not a playoff team without Duncan, not even a .500 team but they should beat NO without Duncan.

Spurs suck in first quarter. shooting 35%, playing down to doormat team

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I am incredibly sick with the announcers using the term "Birdman" when discussing Chris Anderson. Give it a rest.

[Rummpd]

Just tuned in on NBA audio pass seem to be making a run and took a nice lead into half sort of.

Who played well and who sucked?

[foodie2]

Agree with the Birdman comment. In fact, to amplify my disgust, let me just say that Lance Blanks is the most annoying commentator I believe I have ever heard. He uses every freaking basketball cliche ever coined, besides sounding like an uneducated, ungrammatical idiot. When I hear that he's the color analyst, I just want someone to shoot me.

[Experiment2100]

Who is that other guy that's Lance's partner.

[foodie2]

I believe they said he is the New Orleans play-by-play man--maybe their radio guy? He is annoying too, especially when you have to watch him.

[Experiment2100]

So who's doing Hornets Radio,

[Hook Dem]

Sean Marks is doing Hornets radio. :lol

[Experiment2100]

You sure it's not Andrew Gaze?

[Rummpd]

Nice half so far up 11. Rasho and Parker playing well.

[Rummpd]

Surprised Duncan getting so many minutes. Spurs up 9 Hornets go zone.

Rasho another basket!!!

[Rummpd]

Trading baskets, Duncan misses and Rasho rebounds, Bowen with a big 3 and up 12.

[Rummpd]

Spurs running, Manu hits 3 that is disallowed due to foul. 63-51.

Rose in and gets rebound (for Rasho).

Spurs get ball after almost a turnover. Duncan with an assertive move and a bucket to line now has 14 and shooting a FT. He missed but has a ton of assists. Rose steals ball, Brown with a layup - Spurs now up 16.

No worries, good blowout. Now get up 20 or so and sit Duncan!!!

[Spurminator]

4:01 *SA*-*B. Bowen offensive rebound
4:03 *SA*-*B. Bowen misses a layup
4:05 *SA*-*B. Bowen offensive rebound
4:05 *SA*-*B. Bowen misses a layup


Someone wanna describe this play for me?

Tell me he wasn't on a fast break.

[Rummpd]

Down to 10 - this team just won't go away

[Rummpd]

I was listening on audiopass and sounds like Bowen was in a crowd and fighting for each shot but did not see it.

68-59 after 8 to 1 run. Spurs miss a 3 with 30 seconds.

Brown has been rebounding working for last shot. Rose misses at buzzer. Up 9. 1 point in final 4 and 37 seconds.

[Hook Dem]

Good defensive effort tonight. 101-78

[TDfan2007]

Duncan w/ 19 points on 8-16 shooting. Not bad for a guy playing on one leg.
:smokin :smokin :smokin

I really thought that Tony and Manu (especially Manu) would have better games today.

If I recall, this was the play where Bruce went up from the right in traffic, altered his layup and missed it...fought for the rebound and went up immediately, but that one was a little wild...ball comes off the rim, he fights off 2 or 3 Hornets for the ball, hits the deck, cradles the ball, calls time-out before he could get tied up.

Frustrating from an offensive standpoint, but from an effort standpoint, it was one of the highlights...
