Ah well, not much to say from me for this game - Vinnie will have his first trip back to SA and be looking to lose. Perhaps we'll get to see a showdown of Hill vs. Rose and get to show Rose who the better draft pick is! :lmao

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

Team is everything, believe.

[exstatic]

Agreed, enigma. No troll game threads.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

:tu

Hill ends up with 32, 11, and 10.
Finally shows how every team 1-25 screwed up by not taking him.

[TDMVPDPOY]

HILL to expose ROSEMARY....

[MannyIsGod]

LOL @ the troll

I didn't mind NuGGeTs-FaN starting the blog for the Nugs game because he is pretty established here...but you just started posting like a month ago. You gotta get above troll status before you can start a game blog IMO.

The #1 pick versus the surprise talent...should be good. I wonder if Pop will play Bowen on Rose like he did with Mayo against the Grizz.

[Texas_Ranger]

Go Spurs Go!!!!!

There's rumor that BullsDynasty is Tacker, who joined a while ago. Troll either way though, so I guess it doesn't matter. :lol

Mods... a merger with the other troll thread is a probable jinxer... it'd be cool if we just keep this one and the other one gets closed...

[xtremesteven33]

I wanna see Hill guard Rose.

Not Bowen. Bowen will look just silly

This is a free market, let the posters decide! If you want this thread to win, just do not post in the other one.

[Fermixalot]

Does anyone know if this game is going to be on FSNHD?

the lineup doesn't show it, but i've read in past game threads of it popping up even when its not in the lineup.

[timtonymanu]

this is gonna be exciting.

Ginobili will make his home debut.
Hill vs Rose
Del Negro vs Pop

[DPG21920]

I bet bowen starts out on rose.

[MannyIsGod]

I bet bowen starts and finishes the game on Rose. WTF @ people wanting Hill to guard him and WTF @ people thinking Hill is as good as Rose.

Hill is great. I like his skillset a lot. That being said, I'd trade im straight up for Rose in a heart beat.

Thanks! its gonna be a good match up tonight with Hill and Rose. I would've loved to see Tony welcome Rose to the NBA but I'm satisfied with Hill pestering him with his freakishly long arms.

Did they ever play in college?

how long till the game starts?

Just over an hour, 8:30 EST.

I predict 9 FTAs for Rose tonight.

Spurs are cool.

Bulls are not cool.

Spurs should win this game.

Gameday: Spurs vs. Bulls (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/spursworld/2008/11/gameday_spurs_vs_bulls.html)

Manu Ginobili is back, Tony Parker will return soon and the Spurs have won five of their last six games heading into tonight's meeting with the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls are in the sixth game of a seven-game road trip. The are coming off a 101-100 victory over the Utah Jazz on Monday.

Spurs/Austin Toros update:

The Toros played their second of two Developmental League preseason games on Saturday, losing to Colorado 120-104. Malik Hairston, who was with the Spurs in training camp, had 20 points and Marcus Williams had 16. Ian Mahinmi, who is part of the Spurs' roster but has been slowed by an ankle injury, played 23 minutes and had nine points and two rebounds. The Toros open the regular season on Friday.

Here is the latest on the Bulls:

John Jackson, Chicago Sun Times
When Larry Hughes dislocated his right shoulder during a preseason game last month, the initial prognosis had him being sidelined a minimum of six weeks.

game started yet?


Direct TV.

Live in podunk town.

outside of San Marcos.

Can't afford League Pass (and hear that most of the games aren't on there anyway).


Local channels on Direct TV don't seem to carry the game.

commentary is appreciated!!!

thnx!


Go Spurs!

Game links shouldn't be publicly distributed on the forum.

why do they have to be pm now? and that justin.tv shit has no sound

[timtonymanu]

Go Spurs Go!!!

[duncan228]

why do they have to be pm now?

They've always had to be PM. It's illegal and puts Kori, and the site, at risk. She has repeatedly asked that it be kept low.

[timtonymanu]

Starters: Oberto, Duncan, Bowen, Finley, Mason

[Spurs1234]

i hear ya duncan228, i like the focus, like last game, the 6th man of the year returning to the lineup, it was an after thought for the grizz...but what i hate most are the stupid announcers, i dont mind if you think a 50 50 call is towards your team, but to call bruce bowen dirty, all the spurs floppers, tim duncan cant shoot FT's, the spurs are the oldest team, it just gets old...

[Allanon]

Here we go!

woo! Manu! And the crowd goes wild.

Manu sighting :smokin

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu!!! :d

[Allanon]

Church of Manu out in full force there :D

[exstatic]

Do you think he should ever be allowed to ref a Spurs game?

I don't think he should be an NBA ref. He's already shown a bias and dislike of a prominent player. That got Jake O'Donnell fired when he was hatin' on Glide in the 90s.

[timtonymanu]

Ginobili!

[Fermixalot]

Tim is getting after it. He looks really active on both side of the court. Guess he's out to "redeem" himself after his "bad" game.

And the crowd EXPLODES for Manu. The love he gets here is great. His bald spot even looks filled in. All great signs.

[Biernutz]

I just saw that Del Harris is the Bulls assistant to Vinnie. Del is a very good bench coach. He was with Dallas when they made their runs. I thought he retired. Del will help the Bulls.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I love MANU. :D

[TacoCabanaFajitas]

Can anyone link me? :)

[timtonymanu]

god oberto sucks.

[Capt Bringdown]

why do they have to be pm now? and that justin.tv shit has no sound

The one that was oft posted recently has taken down it's NBA streams. No doubt there are some lurkers here who ain't Spurs fans, no what I mean?

I agree.

Once they decided to let him back I was surprised that they let him call Spurs games. I get why they can't single one team out, but no matter what he does, good or bad, I don't see how he'll ever be looked at as calling any game Duncan is in fairly.

[ashbeeigh]

Hill sighting!

[TacoCabanaFajitas]

You call me asshole for telling you to get off your fat arse and google?

GTFOH.

[Biernutz]

Thanks Joey --your first call of a foul on Tim

[timtonymanu]

Finley J

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

You don't think I tried google first you goofy looking homo?

Yeah, go homophobic, prickwad, that's really evolved.

You can't find a link through Google? :lmao Moron. It took me 15 seconds.

True. I don't know, off the top of my head, who though.

Enough about links guys, let's talk about the game.

Sweet shot by Hill.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The D is porous, but you gotta love Hill!

[ashbeeigh]

Gooden does have a pretty jacked up beard.

It's no Pop beard during training camp though.

[timtonymanu]

Hill is great!

[tomtom]

yay nice drive by hill

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu's only playing at 75% pace, which is a good sign.

[Allanon]

It's no Pop beard during training camp though.

Hahah, yah, he looked like a homeless man during camp. I'm glad he trimmed it down.

[Biernutz]

Manu lay up

[timtonymanu]

nice Ginobili drive!

[Fermixalot]

Manu to the rack! 19-18 Spurs, 2:55 left in 1st.

I'll take 05 over 99.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu J!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Manu J!

[Brazil]

Bosh 34 pts!

[timtonymanu]

best championship team was 05.

[Fermixalot]

Ooooo Tim.... not sure about that one. That would've been gorgeous.

[ashbeeigh]

gah damn.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Do we still want Nocioni?

C'mon Roger, don't give him that much space.

[duncan228]

I don't know if '05 was the best Championship, but it's my favorite.

[Brazil]

manu!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu again

[timtonymanu]

I don't know if '05 was the best Championship, but it's my favorite.

i would say. the Pistons were the best team in the East that year and we beat them. 03 comes in second. 07 would be last coz we had it easy that year, tbh.

[Reck]

Kurt Thomas comes in and fouls right away..dumb

[Allanon]

[Brazil]

wtf hill ?

Where would you put '99?

[timtonymanu]

Thomas at the buzzer!

[Fermixalot]

Whooo! Nice last second Tip in for Thomas!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

KT at the buzzer!!!!!

Spurs up 1 after one

[John_C]

nice tip in KT

[timtonymanu]

Where would you put '99?

05
then 03
99
07

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu looks great, even though he's not stretching himself. Very good sign.

As for Noc, he's signed through 2012 for about 7.5mil pa, so he's out of the picture.

[mVp]

Good 1st quarter for Manu.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

05
99
03
07

for me.

That's a bit hard on the 07 team, but someone has to come last.

[Allanon]

In other NBA news:

Capt Jack lighting it up against the Celtics, Warriors up 10 on the Celtics in the 3rd.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TP Hill
Mason Manu
Bowen Finley Udoka
Duncan Bonner
Oberto Mahinmi Thomas

If Ian is even half decent, that team could do some damage.

[Spurs Brazil]

05
99
03
07

for me.

That's a bit hard on the 07 team, but someone has to come last.

Agree with this one

[Fermixalot]

Where would you put '99?

Gotta intercede here. 2005 is also my favorite because the Finals were simply epic.

The 99 playoff run was domination though. Two sweeps and how many in a row did we win, I forget, but it was magical.

I was younger for that one so maybe I just can't appreciate it as much, but it definitely is better that 2007. Though it was great to show the world that a team can beat a superstar any day of the week.

[Brazil]

Monster game for Bosh

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It's SOOOOOOOO freakin good to have Manu back. Playmaking, scoring, random defensive excellence. Mmmmmm-hmmmmm. :D

[Allanon]

If Ian is even half decent, that team could do some damage.

Totally agree.

[Fermixalot]

Money Jr for 3!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason 33333333333333333333

[Spurs Brazil]

Thomas looking good today

[milkyway21]

best championship team was 05 2003 with the Twin Towers!!!!!!

[Brazil]

wow KT with 5 rebounds ?? eh eh eh...

[timtonymanu]

Thomas is looking great!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

05 was the best Spurs team of all time, and the 05 Finals is highly underrated.

[timtonymanu]

Thomas is getting involved in the offense!

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice pass Bonner

Thomas to the line

[Brazil]

After Bonner, the redemption of KT ??

[milkyway21]

K.Thomas 7 Rbds
:tu :tu :tu
R. Mason, 3-Ast

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

You know what we lacked in the bad start (beside the obvious) - FEARLESS role players. Hesitancy kills you on a basketball court. You need to act and act decisively for better or worse.

What I'm seeing now, led by Mason and Hill, is a total absence of fear. They just play hard and let the chips fall where they may. Excellent.

[Brazil]

Unfortunately the 3s (1-7) are killing us!

[mytespurs]

No. And don't ask for a feed, please.

Didn't plan to but thanks for the information.

[timtonymanu]

wat's up with Mason?

[tomtom]

dang our shots just wont fall

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Vinny hasn't led this team to 7-8, ROSE has. Without Rose they are 1-14.

Vinny is a terrible coach. It's pretty clear he doesn't have a clue what he's doing. How the hell did he shmooze his way into that job?

[timtonymanu]

mason is 1-8.

[Ice009]

Why can't people ask for feeds through PM? That is a fucking joke if you can't do that.

[mystargtr34]

Come on Mase

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Hill!

[Biernutz]

hill just took the express lane

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why can't people ask for feeds through PM? That is a fucking joke if you can't do that.

Well, who would they ask?

The bigger question is why they can't use Google. :lmao

And the even bigger question is why they'd be stupid enough to try to tear strips off me for telling them to use Google.

Morons.

[mystargtr34]

George Hill !!!

[Dex]

George Hill with two youngblood fouls drawn on Hunter.

He's definitely not Beno.

[tomtom]

gray sucks! let timmy work it down low

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Bruuuuuuuuce

[Spurs Brazil]

Great play TD!!!!!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Timmy!

[mystargtr34]

Timmmah!

[timtonymanu]

cmon make ur shots!

[Dex]

Wow, did you see George Hill go second gear there for a second? Dude's got quicks.

[Brazil]

fuck 1-11 at 3

[porscha]

manu looks like having some pain!!
worry

[timtonymanu]

fuck 1-11 at 3

exactly. these guys need to stop using the 3pt line to score.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jeez, it'd be nice if Ime could find a game... any game...

Will the Bulls please trade Ty Thomas to someone who will DEVELOP him? He's killing my DLI team.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice pass Manu

TD to the line

[Dex]

Spurs are bound to start hitting some threes in the second half.

If they don't, well....it's gonna make winning this game a hell of a lot harder, that's for sure.

[Biernutz]

Manu was making faces--i hope it was just gas!

[milkyway21]

tie game

DRose 6 assts

:flag:

[SpurAddict561]

What Kinda Faces?!?!?!?!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Rose is a beast.

Is Manu okay?

[Reck]

We are looking kind of off tonight.

[Brazil]

Spurs are bound to start hitting some threes in the second half.

If they don't, well....it's gonna make winning this game a hell of a lot harder, that's for sure.

yet I hope we are not going to stay below 10% at the 3 pt line

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Anyone tell me how Vinny got that job? I want to learn his magic tricks! :lol

[duncan228]

Manu got stiff sitting. He said it was a normal part of recovery at shoot around this morning.

[Brazil]

Rose is good no doubt

[Brazil]

Mase is off tonight... shit

[Spurs Brazil]

TD from Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[timtonymanu]

Tim again!

[Brazil]

Td !!!!!

[SpurAddict561]

Timmy is killin em tonight

[timtonymanu]

Man, that would have been nice if Manu made that.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hahahahaha

Larry is a moron.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Vinny with a mullet straight out of the 80s...

[Brazil]

Thanks Tim, you're saving the night

[duncan228]

Ouch. Lousy way to end the half.

[timtonymanu]

Mason is fuckin us up.

[mystargtr34]

The role guys came back down to earth a bit so far tonight.

Mase and Fin.

Still the second half to go.

[Ice009]

WTF wasn't that foul way before the shot???

[Spurs Brazil]

Tie game at the half

[milkyway21]

CHI: B. Gordon, 13-Pts
D. Gooden, 8-Rbs
D. Rose, 6-Ast

SA: T. Duncan, 18-Pts
K. Thomas, 7-Rbs
R. Mason, 3-Ast

TD will be suffocated in the 2nd half. somebody must step-up

[SpurAddict561]

Suffocated by who? lmao

this isn't the Lakers....come on

[Ice009]

George is still playing pretty well because he can get to the rack. The jump shooters will probably be on and off every now and then, but if you can get to the rack you can still score or draw the foul if your jumper is off.

[Jobbs]

that last foul was BS

[exstatic]

Tim looks awful. Manu's back one fucking game, and he's refusing to "show" on the pick and roll any more? WTF? Lazy November Tim is definitely back...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We're not knocking down the open Js, and have missed a few layups is all.

I predict a mid-late 3rd quarter surge by the Spurs, and the only guy who gives the Bulls any hope is Rose.

[HarlemHeat37]

our bigs need to get up on the pick and roll..Rose has made about 4 wide open jumpers off picks..

refs have been bad IMO..Joey Crawford is no coincidence..

either way, our offense needs to start making some, particularly Finley and Mason..Bulls are a bad team, we shouldn't be tied with them at the half..our D has been good for the most part, we just need to make some shots..Tim might need to drop 35 tonight, unless the guys start making shots, or Manu gets more minutes in the 2nd half..

[SpurAddict561]

Tim looks awful. Manu's back one fucking game, and he's refusing to "show" on the pick and roll any more? WTF? Lazy November Tim is definitely back...

If 7-10 for 18 pts at half is "awful", wow....

[boutons_]

Spurs can't hit 3Gs, Spurs losing at the half.

Tim looks awful. Manu's back one fucking game, and he's refusing to "show" on the pick and roll any more? WTF? Lazy November Tim is definitely back...

WTF are you on about? Sure he could play better D, but there's still a half to go.

Seems like only a matter of time before more 3s fall for us. If they don't, then Spurs better look more to attack the rim rather than shooting it from the outside.

score at half?

more George in the 2nd half..he attacks the basket much more than any of our other guards are right now, so we're gonna need that..

Hey everyone. Just got in, so was only able to watch the last 2 minutes of the half.

I first saw a wide shot and said to myself, "Who is that smaller white guy? Is Blake Ahearn getting minutes??" ....Great to see Manu back. :)

Anybody have any insight on the Rose vs. Hill matchup so far? From the stats it looks pretty even.

The D is porous, agreed, but Tim's looking great on O. There's not a Bull on the roster that has a hope of stopping him.

What's the bet we see real Spurs D for about 6 minutes of the third, and that blows the game out? Pop won't be pleased.

One of us should consider a name change. :lol

Even ? no Rose is better at the half especially for the assists but Hill looks good
