Official Season Opener Game Thread - Suns @ Spurs

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

:toast I'd be honoured to start the first game thread of the season. :rollin:flag:

Spurs by 13, Nuggets by 5 :smokin

[angelbelow]

lets hope its a blow out so we can see the end of our bench shine.

[benefactor]

Until Manu gets back, I don't care how we do it....just win.

[TDMVPDPOY]

i dont think we get 30pts from our bench...

suns to win easily

[Texas_Ranger]

I hope we win this game, but Fin and Roger need to step up big tonight!!

Go Spurs Go!

[timvp]

:hungry:

Good to be back in the saddle.

[manufor3]

:flag:

here we go again

[Lebowski Brickowski]

bout damn time.
:hungry::makemyday

[m33p0]

go go go!

[Obstructed_View]

The goal is one for the first thumb. It starts today.

[Dex]

Finally. I thought this day was never gonna come.

It will be good to ring in the season with a chance to stick it to Shaq and the Suns again.

A lot of people have already tried to write the Spurs, but all that's done is put them back under the radar. As long as the big three are still intact, then you can expect this team to make a strong title run and surprise all doubters.

The quest for five starts tonight. And for those counting, it's an odd year again on the calender.

Believe is back in town, kids.

[tp2021]

Go Spurs Go!
:smokin

[Sausage]

Woo! This offseason went by awfully quick this year.

Hopefully Pop uses the Hack-a-Shaq to piss him off!

[Dex]

Oh noes!

[MagnusKrauss]

:flag:

It's been a long wait. Hopefully we see a win.

But I'll be glad just to see the team play well.





:lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt2:

[HarlemHeat37]

this is a tough game..

no Manu..Hill is injured and will be getting accustomed to the system..Mason will be getting accustomed to the system..those are 3 key rotation players..and the Suns are gonna want revenge for the embarrassment we gave them last April, and they're fully healthy IIRC..

Tony and Tim have to have 25+ games each, which they both should be able to get..I hope to see pick and roll after pick and roll..hopefully we see Mason step up, or Finley, or even Farmer..

[hater]

dude you forget Suns are going to be rusty too. plus their new coach and completely different strategy.

Spurs should win this one.

[jrmp317]

I'll be at the game, anxious to see the new Spur players and how much PT they get.

[mrspurs]

Ill be at tonights game. Its the smiles that always brings me back. The smiles on them nickels and dimes. The smiles on them big behinds. Ill be looking for ya.

[Dex]

Reason: I don't see nothin.

:lmao

[jrod1986]

Looking for some more regular season dominance of the Spurs....didn't we take 3 outta 4 from you guys last year? Sure helped in the playoffs!!

Ah hell, bring on Hack a Shaq!!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

finally :downspin:

[angelbelow]

i find it hilarious that some "spurs fans" arent even cheering for the spurs. i understand the low expectations and the fact that our team isnt as good this year... but to not even cheer for them??? why are you even a spurs fan.

[angelbelow]

btw is this game on tv?

[duncan228]

The game is on ESPN. 8 EST.

[remingtonbo2001]

Go Spurs Go!

[Quiet Strength]

Is it time yet? :downspin:

[florige]

Time to sweat bullets again......:king

[angelbelow]

The game is on ESPN. 8 EST.

thanks! thats wonderful news!!!

[Obstructed_View]

btw is this game on tv?

You don't watch ESPN much, do you? :)

[angelbelow]

You don't watch ESPN much, do you? :)

actually i hate espn. im probably gonna watch the game muted tonight.

[Mad Bonner]

Good maybe I'll stop reading all this trade Bonner bull shit. Bunch of fucktards!
Who you gonna trade me for huh?! LeBron? Carmelo? Dumbasses! I'm gonna light shit up then throw you all the finger. You thought Rodman was f'n crazy wait until this season starts going. I WILL BE THE CRAZIEST RED HEAD TO EVER PLAY FOR THE SPURS! I might even switch my jersey to number 10 just to spit on that faggot Rodman.

[Argiebabe]

F-i-n-a-l-l-y!!!!!!!!
Go
Spurs
Go
:flag:

[DPG21920]

it is on espn

[DPG21920]

I think TP is going to have to average 25 points a game and Tim 22-24 for the Spurs to have a shot while Manu is gone. Hopefully tonight we see a lot more Tim running the show.

[byrdman31]

finally :downspin:


is that your dog?? its awesome!! how old is he/she

[xtremesteven33]

I am so pumped for tonight!!!!


:bang

[byrdman31]

im eager to see what mason can do in a real game. I didnt really see him doing much in the preseason except the 4th quarter of the game vs miami. he impressed me so i hope he keeps it up

[TDMVPDPOY]

how many mins left till game time?

[xellos88330]

Anyone know if Hill will be in a suit today or the uniform of champions???

[xellos88330]

actually i hate espn. im probably gonna watch the game muted tonight.

:lmao

[xellos88330]

Spurs by 6 tonight!!! GO SPURS GO!!!

[duncan228]

Anyone know if Hill will be in a suit today or the uniform of champions???

He's listed as probable.

[xellos88330]

He's listed as probable.

Thanks! :toast

Hey Spurs!!! Fuck you all!!! :p: And yes, I'm happy the season has finally started.


HEY Pauls! Suck my nuts you bitch ass.

[JackArse]

as far as i'm concerned, the first 2-3 weeks of the season are still preseason. making sure everyone plays well with each other, figuring out times/subs and such.

92-86 is my estimated score, but have no idea who will win. wouldn't surprise me either way.

[Allanon]

Hey you guys get Jeff Van Gundy tonight, shouldn't be too bad for ESPN.

[Obstructed_View]

My three year old is in his room playing with trucks saying "Go Spurs Go!" over and over again.

[timvp]

:hungry:

[Bartleby]

Hey you guys get Jeff Van Gundy tonight, shouldn't be too bad for ESPN.

Yeah, Van Gundy is one of the more intelligent commentators.

[Obstructed_View]

Yeah, Van Gundy is one of the more intelligent commentators.

Van gundy is liers and a suck coach. He like too much amerikan plaeyr and dont keep his words.

[Trainwreck2100]

I'm gonna miss Brent on those HEB commercials

[byrdman31]

ok now back to the game whooooo we need some offense tho. i miss ginobili allready

[angelbelow]

parker looks off... im surprised.

[BiZNicK]

bonner with a defensive stop!

[Joe Schmoogins]

Bonner takes a charge! Hill yeah!

[angelbelow]

bonner makes it up, fucking up on a rebound but then taking a charge. i like it.

[Xylus]

Spurs Fans, you're about to get DIAWED!

[tp2021]

Bonner loses the board to Diaw?!


And then he draws a charge???

Doesn't he usually do a good thing, then a bad thing?

[Joe Schmoogins]

Duncan still owns Amare! thats good to see

[TwelveGs210]

the spurs uniforms with the black shoes looks alot better..

[Fermixalot]

There Dragic.

...and Vaughn....

[Ice009]

Fuck we need offense so Pop brings out Vaughn. Dragic in for Suns. Where is Hill?????

[Manufan909]

Pop Is The Shit!!!

[TwelveGs210]

roger mason in the game now..lets hope for the best

[angelbelow]

Duncan!

[Joe Schmoogins]

Tim again

[tp2021]

Amare with the hands held up and out. Isn't that what Suns fans complain the Spurs do?

[Quiet Strength]

That was beautiful timmy

[Trainwreck2100]

nice move by duncan

[tp2021]

Bonner!

[Joe Schmoogins]

[mystargtr34]

Man i love watching Duncan on the block.

[Juanobili]

glad to see Mason's first shot. I have hopes for him.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD playing great

Bonner also doing good

What's wrong with TP? He looks very slow

Nice first shot by Mason

[Joe Schmoogins]

so far looking pretty good... I think our bench play looks great! That's definitely encouraging

[galvatron3000]

ROGER MASSON!!!!!!!!!!

for 2

[Spurologist]

that was a legendary game

[dbreiden83080]

LOL at Gundy saying Nash is as Good as he was a few years ago

[Warlord23]

No Duncan = No rebounds

[angelbelow]

i hope ian can provide the energy that lopez is playing with.

[Spurologist]

Fuckin Thomas. B
ox that kid out

[Ice009]

FUCING PATHETIC REBOUNDING.

THis sucks when TD is not on the court.

[Warlord23]

Also, No Duncan = No defense

[BiZNicK]

wow a guard just drove to the basket and it wasnt parker or manu O_O

[tp2021]

I thought Tony missed again. It was Udoka.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Bonner Blows

[dbreiden83080]

Pretty shitty first quarter

[angelbelow]

i hope we can out a lot sharper in the 2nd. i think we can handle this team.

[Texas_Ranger]

Wake up Tony!

[Spurs Brazil]

KT and TP with an awful 1st quarter

[Warlord23]

Well, they look rusty. Only thing that worked on offense was Duncan on the block. Defense looks out of whack.

[Juanobili]

ahahaha I love the Guitar Hero commercial

[Ice009]

Spurs offense so far is shit. I don't wanna see Vaughn out there anymore. Give Hill a shot or even Farmer.

Parker looks freaking slow. Ime looks faster than TP ;).

[objective]

Bonner is AWFUL out there.

Can't man the defensive boards and his transition defense on Diaw was classic Bonner.

[tp2021]

Bonner Blows

He's playing with hustle and not like a retard. I'd say he is doing exactly what we want from him.

[tp2021]

ahahaha I love the Guitar Hero commercial

I hated Kobe before. This loses some respect from me.

[Juanobili]

LOL and I love that NBA Live commercial too.

[tp2021]

Bonner with the catch-and-shoot 3!

[Juanobili]

Bonner's Three To Tie It!

[Spurologist]

Bonner Blows

come again

[Manufan909]

His man defense on Diaw worked beautifully, and he already has 5pts and 2 boards, calm THE FUCK down.

[Juanobili]

Parker!

[Spurologist]

TPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPppp

[tp2021]

Parker J.

[BiZNicK]

parker getting hot!!

[Trainwreck2100]

why the fuck are they still playing souljaboy?

[angelbelow]

damn that hill.

[galvatron3000]

Roger Mason looks good right now. He's quicker than I thought. Atleast he looked so at this moment, lol.

[Juanobili]

Parker Again

[angelbelow]

nice ginobili move.

[tp2021]

I HATE Marc Jackson. What a blubbering idiot.
"There was contact in the post. He has a gripe."

WTF do you think happens in the post, idiot?

[weebo]

bonner with authority!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony season now started

[Ice009]

I like Mason to run some PG for us when Tony is on the court and also when he is off the court.

[Manufan909]

Parkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkerrrrrrrr!!! Get it boy!!!

[galvatron3000]

Parker Again

and again

[urunobili]

gr8 TP!

[tp2021]

and again and again and again and again and again

[Juanobili]

man I'm glad the season has started


but right now, I got me some carne asada I got waiting for me

[tp2021]

Bonner for 3!!!

[Quiet Strength]

Good job bonner!

[Manufan909]

BONNNNNERRR.

Who said he was sucking again?

[Joe Schmoogins]

Bonner is the man!

[BiZNicK]

Bonner lighting it up!

[angelbelow]

bonner.. I LIKE IT!

[tp2021]

The homers are starting to use the word "homer" now.

[tp2021]

That was a beautiful hook, Timmy.

[Spurologist]

TD with another deuce

[Spurologist]

TD looks fresh out there

:tu not playing in the olympics

[tp2021]

Lets see how Tim's FT shooting turns out at the beginning of ths season.

[Ice009]

Fucking lead evaporated quick

[Manufan909]

Not great to start. He is officially 0% FOR THE SEASON.

[dbreiden83080]

Bad start at the line for Timmy

[mystargtr34]

Suns starting to hit everything they throw up

[Ice009]

Tim's hook shot was awesome.

[Allanon]

There's like flashes of good play and bad play between both teams.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD playing great

TP missing some easy ones. 2 bad defensive plays leave Leandro open for two easy 3s

[Quiet Strength]

I think vaughn has played enough this season. Time to sit him for the rest of the season.

[lurker]

Where "They're still doing these stupid ads?" happens.

[Joe Schmoogins]

barbosa is too quick for vaughn... I'd like to see hill on barbosa and see what he can do

[kcplayboi_26]

Ok Barbosa, They Tooooooo Sloooooooooooowwwwwwww!!!

[tp2021]

Pretty fall-away, Fin.

[Ice009]

Get Vaughn Off The Fucking Court.

Vaughn Fucking Sucks At Everything!

[angelbelow]

I think vaughn has played enough this season. Time to sit him for the rest of the season.

:lol

[Xylus]

Barbosa starting to dominate the game, just like Parker did a few minutes ago.

[WildcardManu]

Where "They're still doing these stupid ads?" happens.

lol you and my brother seemed to be really annoyed by it 'still happening'

[Joe Schmoogins]

Fins stroke is so smooth

[angelbelow]

dude finley looks fucking good.

[tp2021]

This is the Fin we had in mind when we signed him.

[BiZNicK]

finleyy showed up for the season!

[Ice009]

Tim looks fucking AWESOME. Running like crazy.

[Joe Schmoogins]

I think I'm gonna have to pick up Bonner for my fantasy team if he keep this up

[peskypesky]

just got home from work and how psyched am i to discover i can watch the game on my computer!!??

sweet.

no way... Bonner is our new Amare stopper

[Ice009]

Mason! I don't think I've even see a Spur run up the court full tilt pull up and hit a three too often.

If Tim's wasn't a foul then that shit wasn't either. what a joke.

[galvatron3000]

maSON 4 3333333333333333333333333333!!!!!!!

[mystargtr34]

So Stoudemire gets the bump, that was better D by Bonner than Shaq on the previous play.

[carina_gino20]

Why does amare have those glasses when he's not going to use them?

[peskypesky]

Bonner shutting down Stoudamire!! lol

[Xylus]

Amare looks rusty. He didn't get to play much during training camp, and it's showing. He normally tears apart guys like Bonner.

[Cry Havoc]

Join us in chat, peoples. :)

[Spurs Brazil]

JV on Leandro is a terrible move. Pop can't do that in the 2nd half.

Finley, Mason and Bonner playing well. Bruce D on Nash looks good
