Gameday: Spurs vs. Hawks (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/spursworld/)
By Joe Alexander

You can expect to see some tired campers tonight when the Spurs take on the Atlanta Hawks at the AT&T Center. It will be the second game of a tough back-to-back for both teams.

The Spurs beat the Mavericks in double overtime on the road Tuesday in Dallas. The Hawks ran out of gas in the final minutes of the game as they lost to the Rockets on Tuesday in Houston.

The Spurs will try to match their longest winning streak of the season tonight when they go for their fourth straight victory. The Spurs have won 10 of their last 13 overall.

The Hawks opened the season with a six-game winning streak but have lost their last two games. This is the third game of a four-game road trip for the Hawks, who lost in Dallas on Saturday.

Last night, the Rockets scored 32 points in the fourth quarter to come from behind and beat the Hawks 92-84. All five Hawks starters scored in double figures, but the Hawks' bench produced only 15 points. Atlanta's Al Horford played 31 minutes and scored 14 points after missing the previous game with an ankle sprain.

Here is the latest on the Hawks:

Sekou Smith, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Three and half quarters of quality work won't get the job done in the NBA. The Hawks learned that painful lesson the hard way Tuesday night, getting outplayed in the first seven minutes and the final five minutes and change in a deflating 92-84 loss to the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center.

Jeff McDonald: Postgame ruminations (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/courtside/2008/12/jeff-mcdonald-p-26.html)
By Jeff McDonald

A couple of random thoughts, while wondering what kind of genius beat writer leaves the town without a jacket in December ...

* Spurs 133, Mavs 126. That might have been the Spurs' most impressive victory of the season. The title either goes to Tuesday night's double-OT marathon in Dallas, or that 77-75 home victory over Houston last month. Given Popovich's preference for teams that play defense, we think he'd vote for the latter.

* Still, the Spurs have scored 100 points in three consecutive games, which means they must be figuring something out. Pop seems to have settled on a rotation, saying Tuesday that Matt Bonner, Roger Mason Jr., and George Hill will all see steady minutes for the foreseeable future.

* The biggest development of late, especially since the returns of Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, has been the emergence of Bonner. After Tuesday's 13-point performance, he has now scored in double figures four out of the past five games. Bonner still won't be much use guarding, say, Dirk Nowitzki, but he can help the team with the way he's shooting the ball.

* It will be interesting to see how much juice the Spurs can bring to tonight's home game against the Hawks. They expended a lot of energy -- both physical and mental -- Tuesday night in Dallas, and don't have much time to refuel. Yes, the Hawks played Tuesday night, too, having dropped a 92-84 decision in Houston. But they are younger than the Spurs, and should have less trouble recovering.

[Anti.Hero]

Ime sounds down about his lack of minutes. I wonder if he will use this time to plead his case.

[BlackBellamy]

Ime sounds down about his lack of minutes. I wonder if he will use this time to plead his case.

My friend said she saw Ime her church. The first thing I thought when she told me this was that he needs to pray for some minutes. Pray harder Ime!

[8ft.tall.tejano]

lets do this.....................um, is bonner starting?

[z0sa]

lets do this.....................um, is bonner starting?

Let's hope yes.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Even if we don't win, last night's win was the win I wanted more-- it's in our division so it's more important and it was a statement game.


But now it's time to use some of our newbies and our youth -- george hill , bonner, tony and mason will all have to put forth major contributions.

We can do this.

Go Spurs!!

:ihit

[superbigtime]

Pop please don't play JV. Please. He sucks ass.

[Manufan909]

lets do this.....................um, is bonner starting?

Ummm.................... duh. Have you watched ANY Spurs games the past month? He's been doing exceedingly well the whole time.

[Jobbs]

agk

Hawks feed on LP

[duncan228]

Hawks call on LP. Can I get Spurs call for Duncan's 1000th?

[dougp]

Fuuuuuuck, gotta listen to the Hawks broadcast on LP.

[TampaDude]

Is this game available online???

[dougp]

Is this game available online???

Yes, it is. It's called League Pass Broadband. Seriously, people need to quit fucking asking for a game broadcast.

[Spurs1234]

This LP crap is amazing, how many spurs call this year, 3? I hate hearing other announcers, I can handle the national guys fine, but last night was horrible, with the comments about bowen pulling and grabbing when everyone does it...geesh, do you think its really something against the spurs? you cant tell me another team has only gotten 3 calls all year can you?

[duncan228]

Is ST running really slow for anyone else? For about the last 10 minutes?

[z0sa]

Isn't for me ..

[romsho]

League Pass is a fucking joke. Twenty games in, and we've had the Spurs broadcast team maybe twice? What is the problem with the Spurs production/feed? Enough of this shit.

[TampaDude]

Yes, it is. It's called League Pass Broadband. Seriously, people need to quit fucking asking for a game broadcast.

Don't bite my head off, dude...just wondering. So, league pass has an internet broadcast service...okay, I'll check it out...thanks! :toast

[duncan228]

Frustrating. It's running like it used to on game nights before the new servers. When Kori had to turn sigs and search off to ease the slowness from the traffic.

Everything else I'm running is fine, it's just ST. :bang

[gingerwave]

Let's go Spurs. :flag:

[Jobbs]

This LP crap is amazing, how many spurs call this year, 3?

actually

The Spurs feed is on the online feed

[Jobbs]

Manu is the 6th man!

[Ice009]

I'm very suprised that Manu has been moved to the bench this quick. I thought Manu in the starting lineup was working and Pop was going to go with that for a while.

[Jobbs]

Bonner!

[dougp]

I'm very suprised that Manu has been moved to the bench this quick. I thought Manu in the starting lineup was working and Pop was going to go with that for a while.

Probably has something to do with coming off a B2B along with how stiff he's been playing.

[Jobbs]

lol @ Bonner scoring all the points

[duncan228]

Bonner looking good.

[raspsa]

BONNER.. love his confidence.

[Ice009]

WTF IS BONNER DOING. I'm saying that in a good way too. :)

[dougp]

Bonner with the offensive rebound and layup - 6-5 ATL lead.

[Reck]

How about that Bonner guy huh?

[raspsa]

BONNER on fire...

[Reck]

Finley please let Bonner shoot the 3s. You worry about making layups or shit like that.

[duncan228]

I love Duncan with the outside shot this year.

[raspsa]

TD picking up from where he left off vs. Mavs..

[ShoogarBear]

First couple of possessions had me nervous; they looked completely wiped out. Seems to have caught some wind now. Just hope they can keep the energy in the 4th.

[8ft.tall.tejano]

damn, can't believe that bonner is doing all of this...

[SpursPreacher]

Did tp go get a drink of water or run to the bathroom ?

[Reck]

Fuck Kevin Garnett and his fake ass.

[Manufan909]

damn, can't believe that bonner is doing all of this...

Believe.

[raspsa]

I'm very suprised that Manu has been moved to the bench this quick. I thought Manu in the starting lineup was working and Pop was going to go with that for a while.

I think the bottom line with Pop is everyone has to be ready to give 100% whether it be a starter or someone off the bench.. just so long as Manu finished the game

[ShoogarBear]

Finley of all people showing some energy.

[Jobbs]

go Bonner go

[ShoogarBear]

Man, Spurs crashing the o-boards?

[dougp]

Man, Spurs crashing the o-boards?

Red. Rocket.

[ShoogarBear]

That was beautiful how Duncan switched hands on that shot.

[raspsa]

Finley making an effort on defense.. love it

[Jobbs]

Bonner all over my face

[z0sa]

Matt Fucking Bonner ... where the doubters at?

[ShoogarBear]

I'm confused, which team has the old players?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

all you need is BONNER! Ian Mahnimi who?????

[Reck]

Haha we are owning.

[TampaDude]

Manu TRES!!!

[loveforthegame]

Bonner having another nice game. Good to see.

[Manufan909]

Manu lighting it up.

[Il Caraibico]

Bonner for MVP babyyyyy!:downspin:

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

What is wrong with parker?

[xtremesteven33]

BONER 4 BONNER in full effect tonight!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Finley's played well for the last few weeks he just didn't deserve all the minuets he got last night.

[TampaDude]

Bonner is everywhere tonight!!! :flag:

[xtremesteven33]

What is wrong with parker?




he had to take a piss.....:toast

[raspsa]

The big redhead is playing out of his mind.. what is Pop feeding him these days?

[Manufan909]

Bonner with 6 rbs and 3 Os??? God damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ice009]

Finley might play the whole first quarter. lol another 30 plus minutes for Fin tonight???

[Jobbs]

another board for the rocket

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

OMG Bonner can miss?

[tp2021]

George overpenetrated. But that's better than not penetrating.

[Reck]

Hill has een playing like the rookie he is since the big guns came back.

[Brazil]

parker 4 min 0-2 1 TO wow

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu 33333333333333333333333333333

[Anti.Hero]

Spurs are deep.

[ShoogarBear]

GREAT steal by Hill.

[Brazil]

Atlanta is sleeping or what ?

[Reck]

Atlanta is sleeping or what ?

Nah we're just that damn good. :downspin:

[raspsa]

Manu taking over.. Parker under the weather, Pop should rest him.. Let manu and Bonner carry the load.

[Reck]

That dude got away with fouling Manu there.

[Ice009]

Who said Parker is under the weather?

[angelbelow]

wow bonners playing like a caged animal that has been taunted for 10 years and finally let out.

[Manufan909]

7 and 4 O for Bonner now. Damn, he is a beast.

[Manufan909]

That Kobe commercial sucks.

[raspsa]

Who said Parker is under the weather?

I think he is still feeling the effects of the JT foul..

[tp2021]

Damn. If the league only markets Kobe, how are the casual fans the league is trying to attract learn that Kobe isn't all there is?

[Reck]

Fab blows!

[ShoogarBear]

Hawks announcers just noted the Hawks haven't attempted a FT in the last three quarters. :wow

[Reck]

Get Duncan In

[Reck]

Hawks announcers just noted the Hawks haven't attempted a FT in the last three quarters. :wow

Dont you mean Spurs announcers?

[duncan228]

I hope they don't get complacent and let them back in it. Just slaughter them now and be done with it. :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Dont you mean Spurs announcers?

Nope. Hawks feed on League Pass.

[Manufan909]

Come on TP, get hot, and quit getting blocked.

[duncan228]

The Hawks annoucers have been fairly pleasant so far.

[FromWayDowntown]

Haven't ever posted from the game before, so wanted to test it out. Manu is possessed!

[ShoogarBear]

Spurs are letting the Hawks drive down the middle of the lane too much.

[Reck]

What a mistake leaving Manu open for 3.

[TampaDude]

Manu is on FYYYYYAAAAAH!!!!!

[Rynospursfan]

Nope. Hawks feed on League Pass.

What's new, we never get the Spurs broadcast. :depressed

[tp2021]

Haven't ever posted from the game before, so wanted to test it out. Manu is possessed!

:toast:toast:toast

[Reck]

Manu and his fucking weak passes

[Ice009]

Alright Manu is throwing fucking turnovers again. COME ON MANU. SILLY PASSES.

[Manufan909]

WHAT THE FUCK MANU!!!!!!!!! Dumb bitch has 3 of the Spurs 4 TOs. Pop needs to sit his ass for a couple minutes.

[raspsa]

Pop gives Manu a pat on the head.. LOL

[FromWayDowntown]

Since Manu has been poor since my pronouncement, I'm saying that Manu has been crap!!!! Play better, Manu !!!!!

[Brazil]

this game sucks lol and where is our all star PG ?

[ShoogarBear]

The Hawks annoucers have been fairly pleasant so far.


They had one good tidbit: Mike Woodson and George Hill went to the same high school.

[ShoogarBear]

TP has been absolute sheyit.

[Brazil]

Bench TP and put Hill

[ShoogarBear]

Now Duncan blows one. :bang

[Brazil]

oufa TP and one

[Warlord23]

We suck ... outside of Bonner, that is

[Brazil]

the worst TP half since years

[sonic21]

Bonner is an underrated passer

[Brazil]

Trade Parker for Bonner ... wait

[ShoogarBear]

Now they're looking like they played double OT last night.

[Reck]

Thank god Hawk is not shooting well from 3 or this shit would be tie.

This game is fucking boring as it is.

[Ice009]

Very, very disappointing second quarter from the Spurs.

[Brazil]

Thank god Hawk is not shooting well from 3 or this shit would be tie.

This game is fucking boring as it is.

+1

[raspsa]

Spurs coming back to earth.. turnovers mounting..

[duncan228]

Now they're looking like they played double OT last night.

At least they did. There have been games where they look like it but they haven't. :lol

[Warlord23]

Since when did Oberto become so useless on offense?

[ShoogarBear]

Fab is not a low-post terror.

[sonic21]

ok Bonner for MIP

[ShoogarBear]

At least they did. There have been games where they look like it but they haven't. :lol

:lol

[Ice009]

Mason can hit fast on the move. Awesome shot from Mason for 3.

I like Hill and Mason at the end of quarters.

[Manufan909]

Bonner is a thing of beauty to watch right now.

[Warlord23]

Red freaking Rocket

[Reck]

Give Bonner love baby

[ILoveOranges]

Bonner 9 points and 10 rebounds :)

[ShoogarBear]

30-16 Spurs advantage on the boards. Unbelievable.

[Brazil]

How can Bonner be so good ? I don't get it... where is the magic ?

[Manufan909]

Give Bonner love baby

I don't know how you could say this game is boring, I never find a Spurs game to be so. But to each their own.

[xtremesteven33]

Bonner is on pace for a 20/20 game....OMG!!!

haha

[Brazil]

TP come on

[Reck]

Right, give the final shot of the first half to someone that's as cold as ice. Good one pop.

[Brazil]

TP looks like last year Bonner or JVG

[Ice009]

Why the fuck does Pop bring out Parker to end quarters??????

Leave Hill out there. I think Mason and Hill have done better at the last possession of quarters this season than Tony.

[Brazil]

wtf Pop to give this shoot to TP ?

[raspsa]

Bonner is a thing of beauty to watch right now.

:lol

[Reck]

I don't know how you could say this game is boring, I never find a Spurs game to be so. But to each their own.

Is not so much The Spurs as it is them playing The Hawks. It just feels like meh ya know?

[dougp]

Bonner needs more play calls for him ... Pop needs to reward him for the hustle.

[z0sa]

Is not so much The Spurs as it is them playing The Hawks. It just feels like meh ya know?

I honestly don't know the feeling. I am addicted to watching spurs games.


BTW Bonner fuckin rules.

[Manufan909]

:lol

Dude, don't be an asshole. I know in the first 5 games I would've put :lmao, but he deserves props from damn near everyone here. Except whott, zosa, and some others who bucked the trend and kept the faith in the new savior(fuck you Ian, you took too damn long).

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner with 9pts 10rebs at the half

[johnnyblues]

Bonner is on pace for a 20/20 game....OMG!!!

haha

Never thought I'd live to see this day coming.:lol

[Yorae]

Fuck glass ankle Mahinmi....Kudos to the Red Rocket.

[Manufan909]

Is not so much The Spurs as it is them playing The Hawks. It just feels like meh ya know?

True. Even the Jazz getting assraped in the 07 WCF Game 5 was more appealing.

And I should calm down on my Manu hate, I didn't know he was 50% from the field, and 60% from 3.:wow

[ShoogarBear]

Bonner needs more play calls for him ... Pop needs to reward him for the hustle.

They're running plenty of plays for him. They're called missed shots.

[Fundamental]

Ground control to Major Tom, the Red Rocket-man has taken off. I love seeing Bonner playing well, it means the rest of the team can and should follow suit.

Go Spurs go!

[pawe]

Id rather see pop give the last shot to TP than Hill. I cant believe most posters here would consider Hill as a closer than a proven veteran like TP.

[raspsa]

Dude, don't be an asshole. I know in the first 5 games I would've put :lmao, but he deserves props from damn near everyone here. Except whott, zosa, and some others who bucked the trend and kept the faith in the new savior(fuck you Ian, you took too damn long).

Don't get me wrong.. I love what Bonner is doing.. just never heard "beauty" and Bonner in a sentence before..:lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Grettings family and friends.

So how we playing today?

Isn't it nice to see Bonner playing well? (Why did I drop him from my DL teams... :depressed )

[ShoogarBear]

I don't have a good feeling about this half.

[dougp]

They're running plenty of plays for him. They're called missed shots.

ROFL

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley 333333333333333333333333

[Reck]

Jesus Tony, wtf man

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why does the NBA persist with this fantasy of labelling TD as the PF and Bonner the C? What a nonsense.

[Manufan909]

ROFL

Apparently to shooger 4 is alot.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr J!

Spurs up 9

[Spurs Brazil]

TD layup!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD J!!!

Spurs up 13

[ShoogarBear]

TD duplicates the pre-0.4* shot. :depressed

[Reck]

Lucky shot Tim. lol

[DROB4EVER]

Tony is starting to hog the ball! I dont know whats going on but Duncan and Manu need to be options 1 and 2.!

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner with 13 rebs

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Is it just me or is Tim's offensive game looking better this year than it has in 2-3 years?

I think it has to do with the fact that he's lost 10 or 20lbs and is thus moving more quickly in the block.

[Reck]

Why is Parker even playing? He clearly didn not come to play tonight.

[tp2021]

Tony is having too much pre-game sex.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP missed 2FTs

What's wrong with him?

Hawks cut to 8

Spurs Time out

[ShoogarBear]

I'm assuming just something wrong with TP. This might be his worst game ever.

[xtremesteven33]

i would sit parker the rest of the 3rd and half of the 4th.

let Hill play the rest of the half.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tony is starting to hog the ball! I dont know whats going on but Duncan and Manu need to be options 1 and 2.!

Why?

Sure, TP is having a poor game, but on most nights, against most teams, he scores at will. And his jumper is now solid as fuck.

He's just having an off night.

If you were only referring to right now, and not in general, I retract my comments.

[TampaDude]

TD is looking hungry tonight...he wants to win games...he wants :lobt: #5!!!

[raspsa]

JJ heating up. Where's Bowen when you need him?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm assuming just something wrong with TP. This might be his worst game ever.

That's a HUUUUUGE call! :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill 3333333333333333333333333

[johnnyblues]

Hill 3333333333333333333

[ShoogarBear]

That's a HUUUUUGE call! :lol

1-9 with 5 shots blocked, but even that doesn't tell the whole story. He's could have had about 3-4 more turnovers than he does except for nice adjustments on the receiving end. He just looks out of it.

And this vs. Mike Bibby, a guy he traditionally owns.

[Ice009]

Great shot George!

[z0sa]

Bonner making the extra pass, Hill nailing the 3. Who'da thought a play like this in a fairly close game 20 games ago?

[Brazil]

I can't watch the game. What's wrong with tony ? He seems injured ? tired ?

[Brazil]

or just an off night ?

[duncan228]

Is it just me or is Tim's offensive game looking better this year than it has in 2-3 years?

I think it has to do with the fact that he's lost 10 or 20lbs and is thus moving more quickly in the block.

Duncan looks sharp on both ends of the floor right out of the gate this year. We usually don't see him round into form until the RRT.

He is leaner, but I think it's closer to 10 than 20 pounds. He had a change-up in some of his work-outs this summer, I think we're seeing the results.

[ShoogarBear]

When the hell did Flip Murray learn to pass?

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill J!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Reck]

See Hill for Parker works.

[Ice009]

Awesome. George picking up the slack for TP tonight.

[Brazil]

come on spurs kill this game

[Fundamental]

Tony is having too much pre-game sex.

Can you blame him?

[Manufan909]

MANUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU layup.

[ShoogarBear]

Horrible pass by Hill.

[TampaDude]

Manu Manu!!!

[milkyway21]

ATL: J. Johnson, 15-Pts
A. Horford, 6-Rbs
M. Bibby, 2-Ast
SA: T. Duncan, 14-Pts
M. Bonner, 13-Rbs
T. Parker, 3-Ast

52-61 Spurs 1:38 left 3Q

[Reck]

What the hell is wrong with the Spurs? They go up by 14 then they let Hawks back in it.

Kill it already.

[pawe]

wow, a lot of tp haters online right now. Give him a break, TP's gonna pull thru on the 4th...BOOK IT!

[duncan228]

Announcers with a nice rap on Duncan. :toast

[Brazil]

Kill Bill It

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What a choppy, uninspired game.

[Brazil]

wow, a lot of tp haters online right now. Give him a break, TP's gonna pull thru on the 4th...BOOK IT!

for once he will deserve it and god knows i am a big tp homer

[Rynospursfan]

wow, a lot of tp haters online right now. Give him a break, TP's gonna pull thru on the 4th...BOOK IT!

I don't see that happening, tonight is not his night.

[ShoogarBear]

wow, a lot of tp haters online right now. Give him a break, TP's gonna pull thru on the 4th...BOOK IT!

:rolleyes

Yeah, that's it. I hate TP.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

1-9 with 5 shots blocked, but even that doesn't tell the whole story. He's could have had about 3-4 more turnovers than he does except for nice adjustments on the receiving end. He just looks out of it.

And this vs. Mike Bibby, a guy he traditionally owns.

Fair enough, all I was thinking was that if we dig into his whole career we might find a few that are worse... but that is pretty awful.

[Manufan909]

What was Manu saying to Fin?

[milkyway21]

I was hoping Duncan to score 50 today to be mentioned on NBA live.

grrr, he was the highest scorer and rebounder yesterday and carry us thru the 2OT to win against Dallas, and that crucial pass to Bowen, they didn't even mention his name in the highlights at all:oops
As if it's so hard to pronounce his name.

:lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 62-55 after the 3rd

[Ice009]

FUCK. It could be a 6 point game heading into the 4th quarter with tired Spurs legs. That is not what we wanted.

Too many silly unforced turnovers by the Spurs tonight have let the Hawks back into it.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

wow, a lot of tp haters online right now. Give him a break, TP's gonna pull thru on the 4th...BOOK IT!

Over-reaction forum. :rolleyes

Just because you comment that a player is having a poor game does NOT mean you hate him or are a hater in any sense.

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, I'm really worried about them hitting the wall this quarter too.

[Brazil]

What was Manu saying to Fin?

TP sucks tonite

[Reck]

Spurs fucked around the whole game and now they have the Hawks all over them.

If they lose this game then they deserve to lose.

[loveforthegame]

Spurs need to put this away early in the 4th. They can't afford another OT game.

[TampaDude]

B2B after a 2OT game...it's starting to show now...c'mon, Spurs...don't blow this one!

[ShoogarBear]

Dominique Wilkins is surprisingly good as a color commentator.

[ShoogarBear]

Sack-up time!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp J!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

TP again!!!!!!!

[milkyway21]

who are the players on the floor to start in the 4Q?

[ShoogarBear]

STFU

[Fernando TD21]

Wow, Bonner with 7 offensive rebounds, 13 total, in just 26 minutes of game!:wow:toast

:flag:

[Manufan909]

Damn, I'm tired of TP startinf off then gotting hot in the the 2nd.

[pawe]

TP starting to heat up.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan definitely looks better offensively than he has since 2006..he looks faster, but the key IMO, is that his jumper is the best it has ever been right now..he's brought the bank shot back consistently, he makes turnaround J's better than he has in a while, and his mid-range J is the best it's ever been..

[Fundamental]

Over-reaction forum. :rolleyes

Just because you comment that a player is having a poor game does NOT mean you hate him or are a hater in any sense.

When you start "loving" a team and/or a player, it's easy to get defensive when someone else is disappointed in their performance. Just saying, we are all on the same side here.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 3333333333333333333333

[ShoogarBear]

Parker still not driving effectively. I still think something's wrong.

[pawe]

Mason!!!! Dangit, i love this guy!

[bdictjames]

Money Mason!

[ShoogarBear]

WTF is this lineup?

Ime, Bowen, and Oberto at the same time????

[loveforthegame]

Turnovers are killing the Spurs.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bloody hell Fab.

Learn. YOU ARE NOT A POST-UP PLAYER. You veru rarely score by posting up anyone. You are a movement player, so DO IT!

[Spurs Brazil]

Small ball

TD/Bruce/Mason/Manu/TP

[Reck]

Fucking Oberto.

Go fuck yourself.

[dougp]

Just a note: The Atlanta broadcast announcers are actually pretty freakin good. Other cities please take note, thanks.

[Reck]

Tony go to sleep.

[Manufan909]

Damn TP, just go to your jay, that's the only thing that is working for you.

[Ice009]

Parker is bad tonight. VERY BAD.

Is he OK?

[pawe]

Bowen is so good at his "pulling the chair from underneath" play

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

When you start "loving" a team and/or a player, it's easy to get defensive when someone else is disappointed in their performance. Just saying, we are all on the same side here.

That's what I'm saying. People should be able to make reasonable critical commentary without being labelled "hater". People who just say things like "X sucks" can be labelled anything you want.

SB - to me, Tony just looks tired from last night.

[ShoogarBear]

Parker back to being useless tonight.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck

hawks back to back 3

[Reck]

Get him out now.

[Fundamental]

oh no....

[Reck]

Ridiculous.

[Brazil]

Sad to say but TP is killing us : 5 TOs !

[Ice009]

Sorry i misspoke before PARKER STRAIGHT UP FUCKING SUCKS TONIGHT.

AIR BALL JUMPER are you fucking kidding me?

Spurs in trouble. FUCKING AWFUL performance.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Danger zone. They look totally gassed.

Time for Money Mason or George Hill to step up and take the game by the scruff of the neck. I'm surprised Pop isn't playing Hill over Parker right now.
