[tp2021]

Bonner BARELY misses a 3, then draws the charge. :tu

My roommate says Skinner looks like he taped hay to his face! :lol

[jayc23]

ya put the guy who cant play defense in the game

[Spurtacus]

Can we put the ugly lineup back? This lineup can't score with Timmy...

[tp2021]

Ahearn with his first defensive lapse.
Welcome to the Spurs.

[Anti.Hero]

Timmy is screwing everything up.

He should sit back and watch that elite lineup do its thing.

[byrdman31]

go a better link than justintv anyone still interested?

[Fermixalot]

My roommate says Skinner looks like he taped hay to his face! :lol

:lmao

Either that or he he's got a reverse milk moustache...

a milk beard?

[mystargtr34]

Fuck me

[tp2021]

ya put the guy who cant play defense in the game
It would be nice if you didn't showcase your support for Hill by putting another player down. Hill makes defensive mistakes too.

[Warlord23]

Quarter-and-a-half in the books and neither team has broken 30 yet. U-G-L-Y

[z0sa]

Bonner rules

[Fermixalot]

Timmy is screwing everything up.

He should sit back and watch that elite lineup do its thing.

for real, he's out there calling for the ball and trying to get good shots, who does he think he is?

We're out there for unproven rookies and scrubs to jack up 29-foot three pointers.

you are welcome:toast

Gracias!!

[Anti.Hero]

man get this ahearn kid the hell off the court.

[td4mvp21]

What the hell are we doing?

[ElNono]

This guy is terrible. No defense, can't run with anybody and every pass is a turnover waiting to happen... undersized as shit too... WTF Pop?

[td4mvp21]

man get this ahearn kid the fuck off the court.

That would be nice.

[jayc23]

It would be nice if you didn't showcase your support for Hill by putting another player down. Hill makes defensive mistakes too.

This is professional basketball..

[Spurtacus]

Ahearn 3!

[td4mvp21]

And right as I say that he swishes a three.

[Anti.Hero]

i knew ahearn was good. keep it up young fella


:lmao

[tomtom]

sweet 3

[Warlord23]

Well, he can shoot, it seems

[ElNono]

I just shitted all over Ahern and now he hits a trey.. :lol

[Fermixalot]

hey he hit a three! now he needs to turn it over two more times so he can hit another.

at least he's letting it fly though, good job.

and then Findog hits a three, Spurs up 2. 33-31

[Armando]

Clippers commentators bitching about Elton Brand

[mystargtr34]

Fuck me harder

[tp2021]

This is professional basketball..

Your point being...

[Spurtacus]

Findog fire!

[mystargtr34]

Oh wait a 3 for the new guy

[SpursFan0728]

good shot fin

[Warlord23]

Findog!

[Spur-Addict]

Excellent ball movement.

[tomtom]

[mVp]

Finley 33333

[Gino2882]

[Spurtacus]

Clippers commentators bitching about Elton Brand

:lmao

[Anti.Hero]

Pop banking on the clippers resorting to Hack-a-Ahearn to win this thing

[byrdman31]

finely got his confidence back ! thats 3 games hes made a shot

[angelbelow]

you i was watching hill play, he travelled and then he got yanked. i doubt that good for his confidence but i guess pop is old school like that.

[Fermixalot]

Could I get a game link if possible.

thanks

[johnnyblues]

Nice 3 by Blake and Fin!

[milkyway21]

[tomtom]

Pop banking on the clippers resorting to Hack-a-Ahearn to win this thing

:lol

[angelbelow]

they arent really bitching. theyre just saying they would love to hear from brand and chat with him.

[jayc23]

you i was watching hill play, he travelled and then he got yanked. i doubt that good for his confidence but i guess pop is old school like that.

so he puts in vaughn to stumble around the court instead... fantastic

[byrdman31]

Could I get a game link if possible.

thanks

sent

[jayc23]

Thank god

[Spurtacus]

Rookie wall bitchslapping Hill.

[mystargtr34]

Wow look at Oberto's productive stat line

8 minutes
0 points
0 rebounds
0 assists
0 blocks
1 turnover

What a fuckin stud.

[angelbelow]

LOL clipper annoucer mike talyor asked pop if he was concerned and pop said something like this

"why does everyone ask me that? its not like we have cancer, its not like im going to jail or duncans going to jail, its just basketball."

[Anti.Hero]

funny how tparker abuses big men in the paint 90% of the time, and hill keeps getting stuffed :(

[TDfan2007]

Why is Tim almost dribbling out of bounds every time?

[Fermixalot]

that was the ugliest shot I've ever seen in my life....

not even close.

[ShoogarBear]

Holy shit, Bruce, what was that?

[tp2021]

funny how tpark abuses big men in the paint 90% of the time, and hill keeps getting stuffed :(

jayc23 in 3...2...

[Biggems]

Bruce IceMan Bowen? what is with the finger roll

[DizzG.]

finely got his confidence back ! thats 3 games hes made a shot

Does this mean Spurs keep him now? I think I read about 17 get rid of Finley topics last week. :lmao

[turiaf for president]

that was a good block

[Spurtacus]

LOL clipper annoucer mike talyor asked pop if he was concerned and pop said something like this

"why does everyone ask me that? its not like we have cancer, its not like im going to jail or duncans going to jail, its just basketball."

:lol



Bowen, wtf

[Anti.Hero]

lol poor manu

[byrdman31]

funny how tparker abuses big men in the paint 90% of the time, and hill keeps getting stuffed :(

parker is the shit... thats why

[td4mvp21]

Give mea break with all these Kaman jumpshots.

[angelbelow]

bowen is showing some life on offense. might be because when he was starting he was restricted to that corner 3.

[Spurtacus]

The caveman is owning us. :(

[Fermixalot]

when Bruce is our main offensive weapon... I really don't know what to think.

[mystargtr34]

Im keeping track of Oberto's statline.

Whats the over/under for when he finally does something... i say 13 minutes.

[byrdman31]

bowen taking inspiration from vaughn?

[Anti.Hero]

nice pass by hill

[Warlord23]

Good pick & roll!

[Spurtacus]

Nice layup by Timmy.

[duncan228]

Davis ticks off Duncan, Duncan scores. :lol

[Fermixalot]

good pass from hill. textbook pick and roll...

now if we could stop the caveman.

[milkyway21]

"why does everyone ask me that? its not like we have cancer, its not like im going to jail or duncans going to jail, its just basketball." :lmao :p::p::p:

[TMTTRIO]

good to hear Sean say Manu is almost back and all he needs to do now is get his conditioning back and then they'll throw him out there :)

[Fermixalot]

uh-oh, i agree that baron pissed off tim.

[milkyway21]

Duncan will contribute 55 tonight :lmao

[Anti.Hero]

NOOOOOOOOO

Hill was about to get a MONSTER DUNK!

[Spurtacus]

Fuck you Kaman. Hill doesn't want to be your cave bitch.

[mystargtr34]

Whooo go Fabulous Fabricio

[Fermixalot]

wow?! Chris Kaman just absolutely mugged Hill. That has to be Flagrant.

[tomtom]

flagrant 1 lol owned

[angelbelow]

thats weak, how is that a flagrant, i mean i'll take it, but still.

[Jet915]

haha, flagrant foul, I don't think so...........

[TDfan2007]

Tim's jumper looks great right now and GHill is coming on strong to finish the half.

[mVp]

Flagrant foul on Kaman... good call.

[td4mvp21]

Good call. That brute didn't even go for the ball.

[m33p0]

not a flagrant. just a hard foul, imo.

[Biggems]

he got the ball first....shouldnt have been a flagrant.......

as a Spurs fan I will take it, but I would be pissed if they called that one on us.

[byrdman31]

manu is ready.. i know it.. just a secret weapon one night.....

[turiaf for president]

this pace def favors the spurs.

[peskypesky]

Hmm....not sure about that call..hard, yeah, but flagrant?

[TDfan2007]

not a flagrant.

[Spurtacus]

Timmy for 3 right here. Callin it

[duncan228]

Duncan still yapping at Davis. :lol

[duncan228]

Like last night, it's ugly but I'll take it. If they can hang around they can win. I was hoping for more than hanging around, but it is what it is. And it's ugly. :lol

[turiaf for president]

wtf is mason doing passing the ball with 1 sec left

[Biggems]

mason needs to shoot that ball

[TDfan2007]

wtf Mason? Shoot the damn ball!

[Fermixalot]

Ahh Mason, just take the fucking shot.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

How in the world do you think you have time to catch and pass and expect someone else to shoot with 1 second left?

Come on now, Mason.

[mVp]

5 point lead at the half.

[peskypesky]

Duncan looks like a man amongst boys...with regards to the other Spurs

[Anti.Hero]

They should dress out manu just to keep the other team nervous.

[Spurtacus]

Halftime leaders

Duncan 12 points
Duncan 7 rebounds
Hill 4 assists

MVP = Oberto

[Warlord23]

All things considered, a good half. Duncan with a solid 12/7, decent play from the swing positions (Mase/Fin/Bruce). Poor PG play from JV and Hill. We need to keep the defensive intensity up after the break

[Biggems]

mason cracks me up.....he can run down the court and just jack up any old shot without hesitation.......but the two times we needed him to shoot (end of Portland and here before the half) he passes.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

They should dress out manu just to keep the other team nervous.

:lol

[byrdman31]

what are duncan and b davis talking about.. still that jump ball?!

[Fermixalot]

This was an ugly half. But the Spurs have no other choice than to play this ugly basketball. I'm not sure if its the D or the fact that the Clipper are terribel (maybe a little of both) but we're keeping the point total where we want it.

I'm happy so far, just wish the perimeter players would be more aggressive. We are not going to win with Bowen and Vaughn being the aggressors.

[pawe]

what are duncan and b davis talking about.. still that jump ball?!

I was about to ask the same thing

[SpursFan0728]

I think we'll see more of Ahearn and less of JV in the second half

[byrdman31]

Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Lu ck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_




just something i learned today :lol:rollin

[z0sa]

Why did Mason Jr not take that shot? Is he retarded or something?

[xtremesteven33]

I think we'll see more of Ahearn and less of JV in the second half

:lmao

[Fermixalot]

I was about to ask the same thing

There was some yammering after Baron tied up Tim for the jump ball and you know Baron, talk talk talk.

Luckily Tim got pissed and made the Clippers pay.

[m33p0]

this tim duncan fellow is very good. 12 pts 7 rbs 1 block and 1 assist. sure glad the spurs drafted him all those 11 years ago. :clap

[Biggems]

Just Turrible.......First of all, the Clippers are Turrible.....first of all, what is Mason thinking on that last shot, just Turrible

[Armando]

Wow Davis is pretty strong if he is able to tie up Duncan that way

[Fermixalot]

Just Turrible.......

:lmao

Thanks Chuck.

[angelbelow]

Why did Mason Jr not take that shot? Is he retarded or something?

i believe in that one second he was retarted.

[z0sa]

i believe in that one second he was retarted.

He was wide open and could have made this an 7/8 point game if he'd have just caught and fired.

[peskypesky]

I sure hope Baron Davis doesn't wake up and torch us in the second half.

[angelbelow]

He was wide open and could have made this an 7/8 point game if he'd have just caught and fired.

seriously, wtf was he thinking. and camby got the satisfaction of blocking duncan into the stands too.

[Manufan909]

Thanks, 228 for slowing it down.

[peskypesky]

McGrady injured? Here it goes again...

[tp2021]

Thanks, 228 for slowing it down.

bow chicka wow wow

[ShoogarBear]

this tim duncan fellow is very good. 12 pts 7 rbs 1 block and 1 assist. sure glad the spurs drafted him all those 11 years ago. :clap

A lot of people wanted Keith Van Horn.

[pawe]

McGrady injured? Here it goes again...

CBSSports.com wire reports


OKLAHOMA CITY -- Luis Scola scored 23 points, Yao Ming added 19 points and 12 rebounds, and the Houston Rockets made a second-half surge without injured seven-time All-Star Tracy McGrady to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 100-89 on Monday night.

McGrady left the game in the opening minute of the second half after aggravating his surgically repaired left knee, but the Rockets were still able to mount a 14-3 run powered by Scola and Yao.

Artest added 17 points and 11 rebounds for the Rockets, but was left clutching his right ankle after driving the lane in the final minute. He limped off the floor with help from team trainers to join McGrady on the bench.

McGrady, who had surgery in the offseason to remove loose bodies from the troublesome left knee, never went to the locker room and instead remained on the bench with a towel draped over his shoulders throughout the second half.

[Fermixalot]

source?

edit: nevermind...found it. damn, big 3 goes down in one game

While its never good for an athlete to get hurt, the bright side is that the spurs could gain some ground if the Rockets stumble.

But I think the injuries were all minor, we'll see as the story develops.

[Fermixalot]

Hill, money, findog, tim and kurt to start the 2nd half.

Fin makes his first shot off a screen.

[Spurtacus]

KT starting the 2nd half.

[Warlord23]

Mason with the J!

[Fermixalot]

Mason coming out aggressive, I like it.

[Spurtacus]

George Hill all over Davis. Nice D there.

[Anti.Hero]

mason is contesting these shots, they are just falling :(

[Spurtacus]

Mobley stepping it up with jumpers. Camby dominating the paint now.

[Anti.Hero]

camby you long armed freak

[angelbelow]

thomas isnt playing bad right now.

[Fermixalot]

damn did camby just get a piece of Tim's shot too?

No matter, Finley is still stroking it.

[TDfan2007]

I'm not liking the moves Tim is throwing at Camby right now at all.

[angelbelow]

finleys on fire still.

[Spurtacus]

Findog again. Mobley responds.

[Spurtacus]

Shooting practive in progress.

[angelbelow]

wow mobley

[angelbelow]

its a shoot out!

[tomtom]

wow duncan really has range this season

[DROB4EVER]

Why isnt Tolliver playing? Is he hurt? The little white guy we just signed is playing more than he is! Time for Hill to start going to the rack!

[Spurtacus]

lol @ all these jumpers

[Warlord23]

Both teams stroking it from the perimeter this quarter

[TDfan2007]

on the other hand his J is looking great.

[jayc23]

Boom Finnny

[Anti.Hero]

wowowowwow finley

[mVp]

Mobley is killing us...

[angelbelow]

damn it kurt, grab that shit.

[Juanobili]

finleyyy

[Fermixalot]

Spurs are burning up right now! But so is Mobley.

Glad Mason is shooting, but we gotta tighten up the D. It always seems that we either are hitting our shots or defending well, but never both.

[byrdman31]

i said it before... finley is back..

[Spurtacus]

Finley :clap

Spurs finally get a stop

[Duncanoypi]

Finley is playing at both end of the court

[Anti.Hero]

damnit hill dunk that

[Spurtacus]

Nice deflection by Hill. Shame we couldn't capitalize.

[tomtom]

why didnt hill stuff that :/

[Warlord23]

Way to fuck up a fast break

[milkyway21]

George Hill 8 assts

shame on you haters :p:

[Spur-Addict]

I remember a genius or two saying Camby didn't have good on the ball defense, where are they now?

[Duncanoypi]

i thought hill will make a reverse dunk

[Fermixalot]

I'm glad B-Diddy launched that 3. Nellie-ball is a tough habit to kick.

[angelbelow]

i think kaman would have got that. he should have went strong anyway though..

[tp2021]

This is the Finley that can make ST forget Barry.

[tomtom]

mason and finley both playing very solid

[Manufan909]

I thought the exact ssame thing as the announcers when Baron shot the 3, with only Spurs players to rebond: that was a GSW move. And his coach wan't too happy with it. :lol

[024]

hill shouldn't have passed on that last play.

[m33p0]

Hill's passing is as crisp as a very thin piece of potato chip.

[Gino2882]

Hill should of attacked the basket, but did get his teammate a wide open three look.

[mystargtr34]

George with 7 assists and 3 boards in 15 minutes.

[byrdman31]

anyone know if hill can jam, im sure he can do regular dunk, but can he JAM on someone?

[m33p0]

hill shouldn't have passed on that last play.
i was actually thnking that he should have stuffed it.

[Anti.Hero]

hill needs to be careful with the push off.

[mystargtr34]

Im not watching the game, is George having any effect on B-Diddy struggling?

Hows his D

[Spurtacus]

Need to work on Hill's three ball. 0-4 tonight.

[tomtom]

dang hill cant get a shot, at least the assists are decent

[Warlord23]

Getting too jumpshot-happy now

[Fermixalot]

Tim is stroking it from the outside!

[#2!]

tim is an ace

[Killakobe81]

Nice job so far have been real impressed with Hill, Mason so far these past few games ...Duncan is Duncan so not impressed h ALWAYS brings it ...if Clips cant win now they will never beat the Spurs this year ...

[jayc23]

Finnay

[duncan228]

Duncan steady on offense.

[TDfan2007]

man that stroke by Tim is pretty.

[angelbelow]

kurt just stared down crawford haha.

[mystargtr34]

anyone know if hill can jam, im sure he can do regular dunk, but can he JAM on someone?

Hell yeah, he was throwin down alley oops in college.

Hes athletic, but i think the problem is getting into spots where he can do it.

[Anti.Hero]

Bonner is about to take over.

[angelbelow]

those should be fouls after hills gets some more experience. lol hill with the push.

[Anti.Hero]

camby trying to get in Hill's face :lol

[Spurtacus]

Shove Camby!

[tp2021]

WHOA we don't need Georgie gettin into fights.

[Manufan909]

Tim has Hills back!!!

[mystargtr34]

George going for his summer league record of 0-10

[Warlord23]

Uh-oh ... it's Vaughn time

[Spurtacus]

lol @ Timmy staring down Camby's back

[Anti.Hero]

Damn. Look at Tim guard Hill from Camby lol

[jayc23]

Hill can dunk on people

[Duncanoypi]

Money!

[Fermixalot]

Whoo! Tim had some fire in his eyes when Camby threw his little hissy fit with Hill.

Glad Hill stood his ground. MASON is burying shot after shot.

[milkyway21]

Hill 2 pts but with 4 rbds and 9 assts

[Spurtacus]

Vaughn on Davis. Davis gets a layup....

[Warlord23]

Where's the fucking D?

[dougp]

Man, the Clippers are fucking retarded - why does your double team move off of Mason? Vaugn or Bowen's man needs to slide to Duncan.

Oh, and fuck Camby. Duncan needs to bitch slap him.

[Anti.Hero]

Mason can shoot fast.

[Fermixalot]

Mason Again!!!!

[mVp]

Mason!!

[Spurtacus]

Mason!

[angelbelow]

man hill with some toughness, i love that shove he gave camby.

[stxspurs]

Damn. Look at Tim guard Hill from Camby lol

he said this is my.....cocktail....FRUIT!

[duncan228]

Duncan's the captain, it's his team. He'll defend his guys.

[Gino2882]

Mason is stroking it. He has been great.

[Duncanoypi]

Bonn Bonn!

[Anti.Hero]

haha Matt.

[Spurtacus]

Bonner!

[tomtom]

Bonnnnnerrrr

[mVp]

Bonner 33333

[jayc23]

wow could we have a game where we dont have a heart attack at the end

[Warlord23]

Mason and Bonner with back to back 3s!!

[stxspurs]

vaughn do not shoot.....ever!

[Spurtacus]

Davis jumpshot = fail.

Nice support D by Timmy.

[Anti.Hero]

Duncan's the captain, it's his team. He'll defend his guys.

That was a cool moment.

That's the kind of good stuff people miss by not watching these lesser regular season games. :toast

[TDfan2007]

Tim is everywhere on D and our perimeter guys are knocking down their shots.

[Spur-Addict]

Loving the defense right now, it's not perfect but it's good. We're sticking the open looks.

[tomtom]

yeah wouldnt mind seeing ahearn again

[Fermixalot]

Duncan's the captain, it's his team. He'll defend his guys.

Damn right he will. He is the heart and soul of this team and if someone wants to tie up its arms, he's right there.

d228, you picked the best possible player to obsess over!

:flag:

[Darkwaters]

Wow, I just realized that the Clippers are 1-8.

[Spurtacus]

Anyone got a screen cap of Timmy staring down Camby?

[angelbelow]

bonner has looked good, i hope he can be consistent.

[Manufan909]

Anyone catch the Clippers announceres calling bonners stroke a shotput???:lol

[m33p0]

:lol@Vaughn thinking he can join the shooting galore

[Anti.Hero]

You have to hand it to the FO. Mason is a perfect fit.

[mystargtr34]

Duncan protecting the rim, blocked two Kaman layups and Thornton in the last couple minutes

[Fermixalot]

wow could we have a game where we dont have a heart attack at the end

I hope so, my arteries are clogged enough, I don't need the stress of this season making it worse.

I may have to send a thank you card to Roger Mason if I don't die before Tony and Manu come back.

[Warlord23]

Timmy to the bench ... let's see if we can hold the fort here

[angelbelow]

Anyone catch the Clippers announceres calling bonners stroke a shotput???:lol

haha, a one handed shotput hahaha

[Warlord23]

Fuck Jacque Vaughn

[Fermixalot]

Taylor with his best TP impression.

[024]

vaughn sucks.

[td4mvp21]

Oberto sucks. Completely sucks.

[TDfan2007]

Vaughn is awful.

[lefty]

JV you #$%^^&&&%$##@@

[Texas_Ranger]

Vaughn can you go out please...
