[ManuTP9]

I never did one of these before so here i go.


The spurs face the Kings tonite , i think we can win tonite if we dont turn the ball over alot. so lets win 2 in a row! Go SpursGo!

[xtremesteven33]

Keys to Victory:

-Make OPEN shots
-Salmons needs to be Bowen'd as soon as he shows signs of life
-Stay Healthy

[benefactor]

With the exception of the Suns game we are starting a pretty easy stretch. We need to win these.

[sonic21]

key to victory: we need to outscore the kings :tu

[z0sa]

Spurs should win handily.

Let's go Spurs!!

[Chieflion]

I like Jason Thompson from the Kings, any way to get the guy?

[Spur-Addict]

I like Jason Thompson from the Kings, any way to get the guy?

Not in any way that would benefit our team.

[Yorae]

I hope Hill gets another crack at Fudrih.

[Rohirrim]

back to back home plus Christmas makes for a fun week.

[Chieflion]

No, it only makes for a tiring week. We got a back to back game tomorrow vs the Wolves again.

[Rohirrim]

Fun week for me!

Two scrub teams, it's all good.

[Yorae]

And I hope I hope for a GS win over Magic, just for spite.

[greens]

Is this game going to be shown on tv? ESPN or TNT? Local SA channels?

[Dex]

I helped the Sacramento Kings organization with one of their broken Macbook Pros today. I even cut them a break.

Fuckers better be grateful and drop this game.

spurs call on LP, two in a row

[Spurs Brazil]

UPDATE: Hairston is indeed at the AT&T Center tonight, although he will be inactive. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said before the game that Hairston's stellar start in Austin pushed the Spurs to sign him, lest another team snap him up. "Malik was doing well enough that I think other people were starting to get interested," Popovich said. "We wanted to make sure we didn't lose him."

Thanks so much for the info.

So basically you can watch it only if you live in Texas or Sacramento. I live in LA. I guess I can't watch the game.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Here we go.

C'mon Spurs, blow these chumps out of the water and show us what you're made of.

It'd be funny if Beno lights us up again, as usual! :lol

[duncan228]

Starters: Duncan, Finley, Bonner, Parker, and Mason Jr.

[duncan228]

Former Spur Beno Udrih received some applause when he was introduced as a Kings starter.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 22222222

[Spur-Addict]

Bonner 33333333333333333333333

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Gotta love Brett Brown getting all hyped and fist-mashing people.

He's a great guy. When I was in SA last time I got to chat to him for over half an hour and he is quality. He'll make a good NBA head coach one day. He coached championship teams in Oz.

[timtonymanu]

Bonner 3333!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sloppy.

[timtonymanu]

wtf parker? 2 to's already

[Yorae]

Wow, Francisco Gracie with 3 steals?

[Charles Sappa]

Kostaz for president

[pawe]

TP outplaying Beno by a mile!

[duncan228]

...not english though

Please don't post illegal links. Kori has repeatedly asked us not to, it puts SpursTalk at risk.

[timtonymanu]

fuckin Mason!! See Pop he needs all the touches not Fin.

[Chieflion]

You know what? Thank you!

[Yorae]

Frontcourt sucking on defense?

[024]

did duncan get a single touch yet? other than parker, no one is scoring in the paint.

[timtonymanu]

i guess Tony read the "pass to Mason thread."

[ploto]

TP outplaying Beno by a mile!

You do know that Tony had 3 turnovers in the first 4 minutes of this game.

[pawe]

I think we're gonna abuse the 3 tonight since the Kings doesn't defend the 3 point area that very well.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

not showing up for me either! WTF!:bang

C'mon dude, you've been here long enough to know not to post links. Bad form. :nope

[ilovethaspurs09]

Mann I bet the wizards are kicking themselfs in tha ass right about now!! esp since they have a terrible record

[Yorae]

i guess Tony read the "pass to Mason thread."

Maybe its Eva.

[pawe]

thats a freakin foul on manu! should have been an and1

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner :lol

[Yorae]

Bonnneerrrr!!!!

[djohn14]

Roger Mason > Reggie Miller!

[pawe]

TD you're not a PG! pass the ball dammit!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim, what afre you doing?

Gotta love the start by Bonner and Mason.

[Yorae]

TD decided to join the turn over party.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

And Tony (except for the casual ballhabdling).

[timtonymanu]

to's after to's

[pawe]

lol at brad miller looking like a lightpost

[timtonymanu]

Mason is badass!

[pawe]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Is there a funnier mascot than the Coyote? I think NOT. :lmao

[Rohirrim]

LMAO @ Coyote

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner from Manuuuuuuu

[Yorae]

On other news, fucking nelson 9/9.

[Yorae]

Bonner hook????

[timtonymanu]

Bonner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Charles Sappa]

Manu pass.....

[Chieflion]

On the other news, Grizzlies are leading 43-41 vs the Lakers.

[Jobbs]

Bonner needs to learn how to dunk

[Dex]

Tolliver sighting

[Dex]

I'd love to see the Lakers lose three in a row so the pundits can start calling them old and washed up.

:rolleyes

[Yorae]

And immediately announced his presence.

[Chieflion]

Tolliver looks lost at the defensive end.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs with 7TOs

[Spur-Addict]

turnovers ....geez

[Yorae]

Beno showing he can turn the ball over too.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

What The Fuck Is Up With Tony!!!!!

[pawe]

Sacto bailing tp out from his turnovers.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That was hilarious. Twice TP gave the ball away with bad moves, then the Kings literally threw it away within 5 seconds! :lmao

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuu J!!!!!!!!!!

[Yorae]

Go hill!

[SuperManu!!!]

Is something wrong with tony?

[Reck]

Butter hands baby..

[Juanobili]

Finally Tolliver! haha

[timtonymanu]

Bring in Hill!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tolliver 333333333333333333333333333333333

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nice energy by Tolliver, and he got his reward.

[pawe]

that is the hustle play the spurs need from the bench! GJ Tolliver!

[timtonymanu]

Tolliver 3333!

[Bartleby]

Nice to see AT finally hitting the NBA three. Hopefully this will get his confidence going.

[Yorae]

Duncan scoreless in the first quarter heh.

[Chieflion]

Tolliver 3!

[Spur-Addict]

Assist and then to the line; good job George.

[ploto]

Tony with 5 TO's-- Beno with 3 STEALS. :lol

[jayc23]

god that crossover made my week

[timtonymanu]

Tony with 5 TO's-- Beno with 3 STEALS. :lol

forreal Tony. dont let Beno embarass u like that.

[Spurs Brazil]

Thompson with a stupid foul on Manu :lol

[pawe]

bonehead foul by the kings on Manu with the shotclock running out and manu 20 feet away.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The O looks good, the D needs work.

And we need to get Timmah involved.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 33-22 after one

Tolliver with a great energy and he made a 3

[timtonymanu]

Tolliver has 4 rebounds, 2 offensive. Not bad.

[bbarry]

good O start by the Spurs. Why wasn't that a charge called on Bobby Jackson at the end of the quarter? He just pretty much ran right over Manu.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

On other news, fucking nelson 9/9.

Yeah, fucking Nelson. He's shafted me so many times in fantasy ball that I gave up on him, now this year he's unstoppable... :pctoss

[pawe]

Spurs are trying to finish the kings early so they can rest the starters for the game tomorrow.

[Yorae]

Spurs are trying to finish the kings early so they can rest the starters for the game tomorrow.

Yeah, hope a good game for AT and GHill.

[benefactor]

Man, Tolliver is everywhere. Maybe he is a keeper after all.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 33333333333333333333333333

[Jobbs]

great time for the Spurs to get bottom tier teams. Lakers look like they're imploding.

[Spur-Addict]

George, gotta love em.

[timtonymanu]

Bruce 33333333333333333333!

[Spurs Brazil]

Thomas from Manuuuu

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop is not happy with the D

[Yorae]

I lot of rookies this year can really shoot very well....

[Spurs Brazil]

TD scores

[Jobbs]

players only time outs

ha!

[timtonymanu]

finally TD!

[MagnusKrauss]

Just checked in...Tim's not playing? what happened? I saw that he logged in for a few minutes, with no points, a rebound and an assist.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Well, duh... Spurs do that all the time - that is, the coaches don't join the huddle. I'd say it happens 1/2 or 1/3 times.

[benefactor]

Im loving the aggressiveness by Hill.

[Yorae]

George Hill is a foul magnet.

[benefactor]

Bruce is that you?

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuce Layup

[pawe]

Yay bruce! A lot of people underestimate Bowen's scoring ability

[Yorae]

Bowen!

[timtonymanu]

Bruce layup?

[Spur-Addict]

Bruuuuuuce...It's awesome when he scores.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley J!!!

[timtonymanu]

Finley!!!!

although i wish Mason were playing instead.

[pawe]

New Jersey wilting against Houston. 11mins left in the 4th.

[timtonymanu]

Tony's back in and he better not turnover the ball.

[benefactor]

TP...in Beno's grill.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp J!!!!!!

[Jobbs]

yay IGN again

Chobot!

[timtonymanu]

Tp J!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

great time for the Spurs to get bottom tier teams. Lakers look like they're imploding.

What do you think the problem is for them?

From what I can see, Bynum is a whining little bitch (shut up and play hard, kid), and their bench looks shaky. Maybe they should start Vlad Rad again? :lol

[Yorae]

Wow Memphis leading Lakers on half time.

[pawe]

nice inbounds pass to manu by the kings.

[timtonymanu]

WOOHOO Mason's in!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sacto really are stinking it up... :lol

[Chieflion]

What do you think the problem is for them?

From what I can see, Bynum is a whining little bitch (shut up and play hard, kid), and their bench looks shaky. Maybe they should start Vlad Rad again? :lol

Bynum is a foul machine, start Mihm and play Bynum off the bench. Ya, and start Rad.

[Jobbs]

omg Manu :o

[timtonymanu]

Tp!

[pawe]

Holy crap what a great move by manu splitting the double team then a ball fake and a layup.

[SuperManu!!!]

What a great fake....how does he does it?

[Spurs Brazil]

OMG Manuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner

Great passing

[Juanobili]

that was pretty damn sick

[pawe]

Good job by the role players. Keep duncan fresh for tomorrow since he's gonna go up against big al jefferson.

[Reck]

Maybe The Lakers should take noticed on how to take care of teams under .500 :lol

[Chieflion]

They just did, tied the game at 59.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 2222222222222222

[benefactor]

Mason will be the best catch and shoot player in the league by the time the playoffs get here. Book it.

[timtonymanu]

Mason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperManu!!!]

Damn TIm!!! Jump!!!!

[pawe]

spot on analysis by the color guys on manu always swiping the ball on a big man rebound.

[Ice009]

Man Tolliver stinks so bad at the NBA level with his jumpshot.

The guy might be a great practice shooter, but he can't hit anything in an actual game. How much more time do you give him?

[pawe]

Mason will be the best catch and shoot player in the league by the time the playoffs get here. Book it.

i hate that line.

[SuperManu!!!]

Thank god Sacramento can't catch any passes, because we had too many turnovers

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!!!

[benefactor]

Beno getting rolled up...

[raspsa]

Parker-to-Mason is working great.. hope we see more of this in coming games.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Beno is rotten tonight... :lol

[timtonymanu]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!

[Yorae]

Me thinks ball is very slippery...

[Brazil]

TD is sleeping ? :)

[Chieflion]

When was the last time the Spurs scored 62 in a half? Do not mention the Warriors.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Seriously, Tony needs to let go of the ball a bit

[Jobbs]

if you got LP, switch over to Lakers/Grizz

lots of dunking

[Otaku]

Something happened to Manu? Is he ok?

[Ice009]

Just like practice at the Spurs huh Beno?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sacto - Udrih, Martin, Salmons, Thompson, Hawes will be a good lineup in a few years, but right now they are horrible.

[timtonymanu]

our bench is giving us this lead. taking the load off of Tim.

[pawe]

when the spurs are on, they can score in bunches!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

When was the last time the Spurs scored 62 in a half? Do not mention the Warriors.

Why? I bet it'd be against the Warriors! :lol

[urunobili]

on pace to 120 baby...

[timtonymanu]

when the spurs are on, they can score in bunches!

hopefully that shows up against Phoenix. we need that win.

[Chieflion]

Why? I bet it'd be against the Warriors! :lol

That would be the only humanly thing possible.

[xtremesteven33]

looks like Manu hurt his thigh

[benefactor]

Man Tolliver stinks so bad at the NBA level with his jumpshot.

The guy might be a great practice shooter, but he can't hit anything in an actual game. How much more time do you give him?
Its a hard decision. He is hustling his ass off and doing so many great intangible things that he probably just needs to stop shooting all together. Don't forget that he is also very young and has a lot of room for improvement from an offensive standpoint.

In order for him to make in the NBA he may need to go a different route with his offense. Maybe move in a couple of steps? Or the baseline/elbow jumper a la Kurt Thomas?

[pawe]

hopefully that shows up against Phoenix. we need that win.

The spurs will own the suns on wed. Manu will have a field day without Bell pestering him.

[Chieflion]

The spurs will own the suns on wed. Manu will have a field day without Bell pestering him.

Lets hope Shaq does not attempt to push around Parker and Ginobili and cause unwanted injuries.

[anakha]

Tony with 5 TO's-- Beno with 3 STEALS. :lol

At the half, Parker's gotten back to at least 1:1 A:TO ratio.

Udrih (if I have this correct) is at 2:3 A:TO.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

looks like Manu hurt his thigh

WTF?

[pawe]

Lets hope Shaq does not attempt to push around Parker and Ginobili and cause unwanted injuries.

The only thing shaq can push around are bigmacs into his big fat mouth.

[benefactor]

Here we go..no let downs.

[Yorae]

Hope manu is okay...

[Spur-Addict]

Blk For Bonn.

[benefactor]

lol...wtf timmy.

[raspsa]

The only thing shaq can push around are bigmacs into his big fat mouth.

Saw the last Suns game and Shaq seems to have put on a few more pounds. To his credit though, he has been putting up good numbers lately including hitting 2/3 of his freethrows.

[timtonymanu]

TD from TP!!!!!!

[pawe]

miller taking his hands down and daring TD to shoot the bankshot is not a good idea.

[Yorae]

Mason not a second half guy?

[Supergirl]

why are we resorting to 3 pointers????

[Supergirl]

we can't buy a shot this quarter

[Reck]

Manu is injured again?

What's the score?

[Yorae]

Spurs is not a second half team.

Fixed it.

[Yorae]

manu is baaaaccckkk!!!!

[Supergirl]

what happened that gave people a scare about Manu?

[timtonymanu]

and the shooting slump is back

[Yorae]

Is there a record for combined turnovers in a game?

[raspsa]

Anybody know what Parker's personal worst is for TOs in a game? Looks like he's trying to set a new record.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

what happened that gave people a scare about Manu?


nothing happened, he ran... that's about it. Idiots will jump to conclusions

[urunobili]

come on TP neuf! :pctoss

[timtonymanu]

Parker goddamnit.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Tony is playing like shit, but getting bailed out by the Kings

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley J!!!

[timtonymanu]

Finley!!!!!!!!!!!

[Yorae]

nothing happened, he ran... that's about it. Worried manu fans will jump to conclusions

FIFY.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley 333333333333

[timtonymanu]

Finley 33333333333333!

[Yorae]

Findog!!!

[urunobili]

WTF??? Manu asked TP for an alley oopo and he didn't throw it :pctoss

[Spurs Brazil]

TD bank!!

[Spurs Brazil]

TP!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck you Miller

[timtonymanu]

Timmy only has 2 rebounds?

[Spurs Brazil]

Beautiful

TP tp FIn to Tolliver to TP layup

[Spurs Brazil]

FUck the young ref

[SpurAddict561]

Blowing the Queens out , as expected


man I can't wait for Xmas day bball...we better kill the fuckin Suns

[benefactor]

I sure hope Tolliver finds some sort of offense...because he is a helluva basketball player otherwise.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Terrible fucking call.

Brown punched him in the gut, so there was contact well before he got the ball.

Atrocious.

[benefactor]

The game is getting a little chippy.

[boutons_]

Tony's French expressions of anger come out! :lol

[pawe]

Rip his head off POP!

[timtonymanu]

wow dumb call ref.

[Yorae]

Terrible fucking call.

Brown punched him in the gut, so there was contact well before he got the ball.

Atrocious.

And then the m10r called a technical on TP.

[Chieflion]

The ref should send his own ass off first before Parker.

[Sissiborgo]

we are doing good 56-77 spurs

[Sissiborgo]

stupid call by the ref!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What a lead pass by Manu, and another terrible call against TP.

[Yorae]

I think TP should sit first...

[timtonymanu]

Bring in Hill!

[pawe]

FINALLY!! a foul on TP...fucking zebras!

[benefactor]

Refs are really tightening up now.

[Sissiborgo]

Get Parker of the floor and rest him and mabye he will relax so he won't get more fouls...

[Sissiborgo]

and yeah bring in Hill...

[pawe]

TP pushed off

[Brazil]

Hawes is crazy :)
