Game Blog: Spurs vs. Kings - 11.16.2008

[Ice009]

Spurs getting worked in this 3rd quarter. NOT GOOD. COME ON SPURS THIS IS PATHETIC. KINGS freaking running all over us.

[Obstructed_View]

Pop gets really mad when Beno scores. :lol

[bdictjames]

Findog is on fire tonight.

[Ice009]

FUCKING UDRIH shredding us. come on Spurs play it out. Show some heart.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan is playing some of the worst defense I've seen in his career..he's missed like 3 rotations that led to points..

[Jet915]

wow, finley resurrecting himself

[Obstructed_View]

put in our new guy with 96% free throw shooting

With the Spurs already in the penalty that's not a half bad idea. He couldn't play defense much worse than the Spurs are right now.

[duncan228]

Pop gets really mad when Beno scores. :lol

He really does. :lol

[bdictjames]

Beno is owning Hill.

[benefactor]

Pop is about to explode.......

[lefty]

Finley scored :wow

[Fermixalot]

wow...the D is terrible.

[Ice009]

Pop is looking like a fool with Udrih burning his goldenboy Hill.

WOW udrih playing well at the point for the kings.

[HarlemHeat37]

what a frustrating sequence..this team can't have any defensive lapses, we can't score..we're against a mediocre team..

[boutons_]

Spurs truly sucking.

[Reck]

Please oh please Manu and Parker get back quick.

This getting beat by teams like Sacramento and the Bucks is getting ridiculous.

[bdictjames]

You win some, you lose some I guess.

[lefty]

Hill is not agressive enough.

That's the passivity Timvp has mentioned

[Spurtacus]

Douby picking up what Martin can't do.

[lefty]

JV and Bonner? :wtf

[Ice009]

wow, finley resurrecting himself

Man maybe Finley just needed time to adjust to his new body weight. He's going off now.

Tim Grover did say that he has the body of a 30 year old. This is Jordan's former trainer too. So I'd say he knows what he is talking about.

COME ON SPURS. we're getting smacked.

[bdictjames]

11 point lead now.

[Texas_Ranger]

Great lineup in there!

[EvaLongoria]

Duncan Era is all over !!!!!! We need to handle it and accept it. Spurs are history. Its time to think about 2010 free agent.

[Obstructed_View]

If guys are going to keep hitting threes with a hand right in their face I'm not sure how you beat them.

[hoopdreams11]

why are we not pressuring Beno fullcourt we know that throws him out of rythm

[mVp]

Beno is owning Hill.

Beno is owning the Spurs.

[bdictjames]

Kings shooting 52% bothers me.

[hillscountry]

cowboys driving, although switching backing forth I'd rather gouge my eyes with sharp knives....

[lefty]

Beno is owning the Spurs.

Beno is owning Pop

[Fermixalot]

Mason finally gets the idea that if you drive when the opposing team is in the penalty, there is a good chance your going to get points out of it.

The Kings are on fire right now, I'm not sure there's much we can do until they cool off. But trapping or kneeing Beno in the groin sounds like a good plan.

[lefty]

[bdictjames]

Both teams are on fire from three.

[byrdman31]

im curious to see Blake Ahearn

[benefactor]

Douby...gunned down.

[Obstructed_View]

Beno is owning Pop

Pop was stupid. Pop's looking pretty stupid so far because he's making emotional subs just like he did when Beno was here. He's punishing guys for not shutting Beno down. It's like he just absolutely refuses to wrap his brain around the fact that Beno's a good basketball player.

[HarlemHeat37]

can somebody explain how JV only makes circus shots? he can't make anything else, but he makes circus shots..wtf..

[benefactor]

Ill give Vaughn credit...he seems to be the only player that has figured out that we are in the penalty.

[Fermixalot]

ok something is definitely going on...

the kings aren't missing and
jacque vaughn has TWO and 1's

[Spurtacus]

Vaughn redeemed himself a little.

[bdictjames]

lol vaughn

[Texas_Ranger]

One more and 1..OMG!!

[Obstructed_View]

Ill give Vaughn credit...he seems to be the only player that has figured out that we are in the penalty.

And have been for what, 4 minutes? How the hell is Duncan not in the game taking advantage of this? Stupid, stupid coaching.

[bdictjames]

ok something is definitely going on...

the kings aren't missing and
jacque vaughn has TWO and 1's

:lol

[Ice009]

BONNER BABY. FUCK YEAH MATT. Keep it up MATT.

[bdictjames]

Vaughn is owning the Kings.

[Fermixalot]

Bonner with 11 and 4reb

a key 3. Hopefully the D picks up.

66-70, Kings.

[ICE3000]

Duncan Era is all over !!!!!! We need to handle it and accept it. Spurs are history. Its time to think about 2010 free agent.

go jump off a bridge

[Obstructed_View]

Trade Bonner.

[Obstructed_View]

Salmons finally misses one with a hand in his face.

[benefactor]

Bobby Brown made Oberto look silly.

[Obstructed_View]

Bobby Brown made Oberto look silly.

That's his prerogative.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[Jet915]

haha, vaughn w/almost another and 1

[Fermixalot]

That's his prerogative.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

:lol:lmao

[lefty]

Vaughn > Nash

[Texas_Ranger]

Vaughn is MVP!!

[bdictjames]

Vaughn with a season high 7 points.

[benefactor]

And have been for what, 4 minutes? How the hell is Duncan not in the game taking advantage of this? Stupid, stupid coaching.
We spent over 6 minutes in the penalty. :bang

[boutons_]

ok, closed it down to -4 to start the 4th

[lefty]

Shower time

[pawe]

lol at the potty mouth heckler

[benefactor]

That's his prerogative.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
Don't be cruel.

[z0sa]

So far Matt Bonner is owning you all.

[Obstructed_View]

I hope some of these guys are nice and rested to play the entire fourth quarter and try to win this game.

[lurker23]

This needs to be a major learning experience for Hill:

Pop wants you to be aggressive.
You were not aggressive, Jacque Vaughn gets minutes.
Vaughn is aggressive, JV continues to get minutes.

I sense a pattern.

Hill will likely get at least one more stretch here in the 4th quarter. Let's see if he gets the message, or if it needs to be pounded into him during a film session tomorrow.

[Fermixalot]

Vaughn with a season high 7 points.

:lmao:lmao:lmao

...oh wait...you're serious....

[HarlemHeat37]

I hope Duncan actually plays Duncan-like D in the 4th, we need it..

[byrdman31]

were close.. now give it to timmy all quarter

[Obstructed_View]

So far Matt Bonner is owning you all.

I'm as happy as anyone, but he needs to keep it up on both ends. Everyone has bad games, and we'll know Matt's going to be okay when he has one and the majority of people on here say "he just had a bad game".

[Spurtacus]

Spurs and Cowboys game both in the 4th. I'm having a hard time trying to follow both. :lol

[benefactor]

Bonner with the worst post up move in NBA history. :lol

[Obstructed_View]

Allowing a 30 point third quarter ain't exactly a good sign.

[z0sa]

Bonner Owns You All

[Spurtacus]

What a beautiful sequence by Vaughn, Bonner, Oberto.

And you will never see me type that again.

[bdictjames]

Bonner time!

[Spurtacus]

I hope Hawes takes more of those.

[Obstructed_View]

Thank almighty god, Duncan's finally coming back in.

[lurker23]

So far Matt Bonner is owning you all.

I've always been in support of more minutes for Bonner. He has the physical skills, he just needs to learn the mental skills. You can't learn the mental skills without consistent playing time.

[benefactor]

I don't know how...but we have the lead again.

[Spurtacus]

Money Mason! Spurs up by 1. :tu

[Fermixalot]

Kings cooling down, the D is back.

Mason with the 3 and Spurs up 1.

[bdictjames]

Are you kidding me? We're in the lead baby!

[HarlemHeat37]

Bonner is the best Spur tonight, he's playing great all-around ball..but Pop just took him off for some reason..

[hillscountry]

holy crap cowboys and spurs winning at the same time...

[Spurtacus]

Vaughn was fouled.

[Obstructed_View]

Bonner is the best Spur tonight, he's playing great all-around ball..but Pop just took him off for some reason..

He's just getting a blow while Duncan fills in for him.

[Ice009]

Fucking bitch Beno. Bitch roll for Beno.

We had the lead and it's gone just like that

[z0sa]

Its 75-76 idiot queen button punchers

[Spurtacus]

Vaughn in double figures :wow

[Obstructed_View]

I hate this commercial. Has Kobe ever scored 43 points on Bowen?

[bdictjames]

And Vaughn keeps on going.

[Ice009]

Get Bonner back in!

Why does Pop take out players that are playing well?

[z0sa]

Bonner is the best Spur tonight, he's playing great all-around ball..but Pop just took him off for some reason..

He needs a breather.

[Jet915]

Wow, Vaughn makes a jumper.......nice. He has a fire under him now that the spurs signed Ahearn.

[benefactor]

Kings sideline chick....:tu

[Obstructed_View]

Get Bonner back in!

Why does Pop take out players that are playing well?

Yeah, that 21 guy had better not give away the lead Bonner got us.

[bdictjames]

I hate this commercial. Has Kobe ever scored 43 points on Bowen?
He did on March last year I think, and the Spurs team streak of 187 games without a scorer scoring 40+ points was snapped, and it was the largest current record at that time.

I cant remember where I got it from though.

[benefactor]

Ha...Finley pulls a Manu.

[Obstructed_View]

Kings sideline chick....:tu

She's a shitty interviewer. She must have won the Maloof Brothers sword swallowing competition.

[PeterBurns]

Not sure if anyone knows...but Spurs have 9 games for $99 dollars.

By the way, in case you haven't hears. Spurs have 9 games for $99 Dollars.

Did I mention that the Spurs have 9 games for $99 Dollars.

Oh yeah, the Lakers are free, when you buy 9 games for $99 dollars!

[z0sa]

Thanks for nothing Tolliver, gtfo or guard your man.

*waits for Timvp to say its on the scouting report to not guard your man :lmao

[Fermixalot]

Yeah, that 21 guy had better not give away the lead Bonner got us.

Is that the new guy the Spurs just got? :downspin:

[Obstructed_View]

He did on March last year I think, and the Spurs team streak of 187 games without a scorer scoring 40+ points was snapped, and it was the largest current record at that time.

I cant remember where I got it from though.

I thought LBJ had done it fairly recently. I didn't know they'd gone that long.

[bdictjames]

Kings finally down to 47% shooting.

[bdictjames]

5 players in double digits for the Spurs.

[Spurtacus]

Beno :lol

[Fermixalot]

Not sure if anyone knows...but Spurs have 9 games for $99 dollars.

By the way, in case you haven't hears. Spurs have 9 games for $99 Dollars.

Did I mention that the Spurs have 9 games for $99 Dollars.

Oh yeah, the Lakers are free, when you buy 9 games for $99 dollars!

Hey, are there any deals available when buying Spurs tickets?

[Ice009]

Work The Fucking Ball Inside>

Tim Step The Fuck Up.

[HarlemHeat37]

Finley just needs to avoid dribbling, and he's money..

[Texas_Ranger]

C'mon TD!!!!

[Ice009]

If Tim actually played like he is capable we'd be leading right now. GO TIM GO. TAKE IT.

[bdictjames]

Vaughn with season highs of 10 points and 6 assists!

[lurker23]

Finley fades away unnecessarily sometimes, but man, when his catch-and-shoot is working, it's working.

[byrdman31]

finely having a great game

[dougp]

Watching the ESPN gamecast, they showed Jason Thompson in the game for John Salmons - this guys picture sucks for him.

[bdictjames]

.

[Fermixalot]

WHAT THE FUCK!!!

that was not 5 seconds.

[Ice009]

Tim's gotta step up here. He's gotta get us some points inside.

[Obstructed_View]

He did on March last year I think, and the Spurs team streak of 187 games without a scorer scoring 40+ points was snapped, and it was the largest current record at that time.

I cant remember where I got it from though.

Are you sure? I can't find it anywhere.

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL what a horrible call on Mason..

[benefactor]

She's a shitty interviewer. She must have won the Maloof Brothers sword swallowing competition.
Ha ha...probably.

[bdictjames]

Duncan with a -12.. wow.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan seems to play worse against the worst defensive frontcourts, and dominates the better ones..

[benefactor]

WHAT THE FUCK!!!

that was not 5 seconds.
Yeah...that was awful fast.

[Obstructed_View]

How is that foul on Mason? What in the ever loving fuck? That looked like a 5 second violation to me, but I have no idea how that foul was on Mason when he had position for the ball.

[bdictjames]

Are you sure? I can't find it anywhere.
I think I read it in SI in their NBA previews, but I have read it.

[Ice009]

Tim take it over.

[Dre_7]

Very fast 5 second call and a questionable foul on Mason.

[lurker23]

LOL what a horrible call on Mason..

Agreed. I hate it when they call loose ball fouls like that when both players have equal rights to the ball.


Beno is being really sloppy with his passes right now. Spurs have to take advantage, pressure him, and feed off of his uncertainty.

[bdictjames]

Are you sure? I can't find it anywhere.
He scored 43 points on March 6, 2006, my bad.

And 43 points on Game 1 last year's playoffs.

[byrdman31]

timmy time

[Fermixalot]

good defense there, kept salmons from anything.

[Obstructed_View]

I think I read it in SI in their NBA previews, but I have read it.

March 6, 2006. You're right, but you were a year off. :)

[Obstructed_View]

He walked.

[benefactor]

Mason to the rim! ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME.

[Fermixalot]

Hell yeah Mason!!!!!

and 1!!

[Obstructed_View]

He scored 43 points on March 6, 2006, my bad.

And 43 points on Game 1 last year's playoffs.

You're right on the first, but not the second. The Lakers scored 43 points at halftime of game 1; I did the same search. :)

[Obstructed_View]

Come on, dammit. Yeah, Rog.

[Obstructed_View]

These guys calling the games are idiots. "His legs were planted".

[HarlemHeat37]

how the hell did Roger get that ball through? Kidd-esque..

[bdictjames]

Let's just get back to the game lol.

Yeah I was a year off, sorry about that.

[itzsoweezee]

4 down is not working. keep it up roger.

[bdictjames]

Score update?

[Fermixalot]

There you go Timmy. He's got to get going on both ends if we want to have a chance.

There are a lot of bad calls tonight.

[HarlemHeat37]

these refs have been terrible..

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Score update?

Spurs 84
Kings 84 3 min left

[benefactor]

Tied 84-84

[Duncanoypi]

whats the score? Y! game channel is fucking up!

[Obstructed_View]

Let's just get back to the game lol.

Yeah I was a year off, sorry about that.

:lol I agree. I didn't mean for the conversation to last longer than the commercial break. The Spurs are doing a good job of disrupting the passing lanes.

[duncan228]

84 all 2:58 left

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan is playing great defense in this 4th though, making up for his offense..

[bdictjames]

Bumba!

[Avitus1]

Come on Spurs!!!

[boutons_]

another close finish, which way will it go?

[Duncanoypi]

i predict a double2x for Bonn Bonn

[z0sa]

Matt Bonner with another board.

[bdictjames]

Im shivering and I cant even see the game.

[benefactor]

We got this.

[byrdman31]

we got this lets not let it go

[bdictjames]

[jayc23]

Tim lets these teams hang around

[Obstructed_View]

I'm just glad the Spurs are playing decent defense which gives them a chance in every game. They've been better than their opponents in the 4th quarter in almost every game.

Unrelated Commercial Break Comment: Shane Battier is going to be doing TV when he retires. He has a voice made for broadcasting.

[MannyIsGod]

I demand a winning streak. Com'on!!!

you want the game link?

[Obstructed_View]

Don't blame Timmy when your boy's on the bench. ;)

[Spurtacus]

Shit. We needed a score there.

[benefactor]

Dammit Roger.

[Ice009]

TAKE IT OVER Tim.

[SpurAddict561]

wow..I'm in suspense and I'm just watching it via my Espn fantasy league tracker lol

[bdictjames]

you want the game link?
A PM would be nice. Not sopcast though.

[Obstructed_View]

Gutless.

[jayc23]

Don't blame Timmy when your boy's on the bench. ;)

Ya the rookie has more responsibility to shoulder than a hall of famer

[tomtom]

dammit salmons

[PeterBurns]

By the way, 9 Games for $99 and the Lakers FREE!!!

[Spurtacus]

Move your ass Bonner. Damnit.

[Duncanoypi]

is Tim sick? Im sick and tired of his passiveness for this game

[Obstructed_View]

This Finley/Mason backcourt sucks ass.

[Fermixalot]

Spurs letting it slip away.

Come on Spurs, pick it up!

[Ice009]

Keep fighting Spurs. Keep fighting. Don't give up.

[byrdman31]

A PM would be nice. Not sopcast though.

sent

[benefactor]

Non shooting? wtf?

[Spurtacus]

WHAT! Not a shooting foul. Refs hate us this season.

[Spurtacus]

Findog, that was sweet!

[Fermixalot]

There you Finley!!! Great pass from Tim!

[PeterBurns]

F'n Fin Dog

[Obstructed_View]

Ya the rookie has more responsibility to shoulder than a hall of famer


When he's the fuckin' starting point guard and can't get in the damn game ahead of Jacque Vaughn because he's getting owned by Beno Udrih, yeah he deserves some blame.

[Spurtacus]

Haha. Way to put Beno on his ass. :tu

[SpurAddict561]

damn this is a game I wish I was watching....cable TV blows

[itzsoweezee]

4 down is not working!

[HarlemHeat37]

Roger needed to go inside there, that's what Brad Miller does..we should know that..

[Ice009]

Finley. Good.

[Fermixalot]

Haha. Way to put Beno on his ass. :tu

+1

[Ice009]

Looks like Udrih is better than both our back up PG's :(.

[duncan228]

Duncan clutch.

[Spurtacus]

Huge shot by Timmy. D needs a stop here.

[PeterBurns]

2 for 1 for Kings

[Ice009]

Keep fighting. Keep fighting.

[Jet915]

Vaughn in for Bonner?

[bdictjames]

Timmy!

[SpurAddict561]

Finley must be on fire..damn

has he actually been playing ANY D this year?

cuz his D towards the end of last year became unbearable to watch...wow

[Duncanoypi]

Defense!!!!!

[boutons_]

clutch 2 by Tim with no clock left

we get a stop and the game is ours

[z0sa]

Tim HAS to move faster. There are not enough seconds on a 24 second shot clock to post, swing the ball, repost, and still face up and take your time.

[Obstructed_View]

Somebody check Roger Mason for a vagina. Barry 2.0

[PeterBurns]

Just in case someone forgot. $99 dollars gets you 9 Spurs game PLUS THE LAKERS FREE

[boutons_]

Pop goes small ball

[Fermixalot]

Tim got one to go finally. He needs to take over.
Salmons has to be covered like a presidential scandal and the Spurs need to rebound.

[Obstructed_View]

Just in case someone forgot. $99 dollars gets you 9 Spurs game PLUS THE LAKERS FREE

Is that a joke? I guess they are mentioning that every six seconds on the TV broadcast? :)

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nice cut by Finley, and great Duncan pass. I like to see us MOVING. And then a sweet runner - classic Timmah!

Pity Beno didn't play like on that last drive for us (except his rookie year).

GO SPURS GO. :flag:

[Obstructed_View]

Way to zoom in on the old lady boob.

[Ice009]

Somebody check Roger Mason for a vagina. Barry 2.0

Come on Mason. Step up.

[Jobbs]

don't give it to mason!

[HarlemHeat37]

Bowen needs to be all over Salmons here..I want to see some flopping too..

[Spurtacus]

"Udra"

lol

[Spurtacus]

Nice D by Oberto.

[Avitus1]

Go Spurs Go!

[Spurtacus]

Timmy!

[Avitus1]

Timmy!

[HarlemHeat37]

Tim fucking Duncan..

[duncan228]

Duncan boards, Duncan hits.

[benefactor]

Duncan ain't gonna let us lose...

[Fermixalot]

No call?!?!?!?

Tim clutch again, but the refs do not want us to to win this game.

[SpurAddict561]

No OVERTIME!@!

i need to goto bed damn

[HarlemHeat37]

how is that not a foul? their guy was UNDER Duncan's shot..

[Ice009]

Alright Tim.

[Spurtacus]

Manu saying "Suck It" on the bench.

Need a gif of that.

[Fermixalot]

Manu being pissed off at the call ftw

[lurker23]

Timmy. Clutch as always. Regardless of the final outcome, this man has to make you love being a Spurs fan. :flag:

[Jet915]

Timmy boy!

[johnnyblues]

Good pass by Fin. :)

[jayc23]

why doesnt he do that with more than a minute left in the game

[itzsoweezee]

so much better than 4 down

[Obstructed_View]

How is that a non-call?

[Spurologist]

Tim mother fucking Duncan.

[benefactor]

We got this.

[bdictjames]

Timmy Timmy Timmy!

[Jet915]

No OVERTIME!@!

i need to goto bed damn

Me too! I gotta wake up early tomorrow.

[Duncanoypi]

[Fermixalot]

FUCk yeah!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Timmy gets ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT any more. WTF???

Gotta respect Salmons. Fantastic signing for the MLE.

[johnnyblues]

EDIT: Spoke too soon again...

[pawe]

its ovah!!!

[VaSpursFan]

TD misses 2 free throws...FUCK

[Avitus1]

Dammit

[bdictjames]

Duncan win it now!

[Obstructed_View]

Nice airball Brad. Mr. Clutch. :lol

[bdictjames]

Yay!

[Spurtacus]

When was the last time Timmy missed both free throws like that?

[z0sa]

Tim tim tim tim tim tim ......

[Fermixalot]

son of a bitch!

Mason had that...
