Game Blog: CHRISTMAS DAY - SPURS vs. SUNS

[Spurs Brazil]

nash defended well on tony on the 3 fast break he had to face. the 2 calls tony had were generous.

it's a shame we have to rely on only two players (tim and tony) with mason on the bench. just my opinion.

Finley playing well in the 2nd half

[boutons_]

5 mins left, want to see the Spurs step up the intensity

[Doug Collins]

They made a movie about BIG?

Cool.

Mall Cop is in theaters Jan. 16 in case anyone forgot.

[peskypesky]

So what is your excuse now?

Have both the flopper and the french crap playing well, and you will still lose

:lmao

regular season, my friend....regular season

[peskypesky]

Duncan diving to the floor for a loose ball? Fuckin A.

[peskypesky]

Spurs take lead!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kace]

Finley playing well in the 2nd half

you're right but he can't create his own shot.

[Rummpd]

Spurs going to win this game!

[peskypesky]

shit...Duncan has 5

[timtonymanu]

Shit Duncan's 5th foul.

[peskypesky]

ha! snaq misses

edit

BOTH

[kace]

suns are letting tim shooting from the outside to prevent tony from driving to the hole. too bad he missed three in a row

[Spork KIller]

:lmao

regular season, my friend....regular season

Last time I checked, you need to win regular season games to get in the playoffs :sleep

[Spurs Brazil]

Great Play Td

[kace]

Clutch Tp !!!!!!!!!!!

[Doug Collins]

Omg Kg!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[peskypesky]

Last time I checked, you need to win regular season games to get in the playoffs :sleep

oh really? is that how it works?
:lmao

I thought the Spurs just got to waltz into the playoffs cause the NBA likes to watch them whip the Suns' ass in the post-season.

[Ice009]

Well that always hurts. Spurs leaving a shooter wide open for three. Same shit against the Hornets. DO NOT LET SHOOTERS OPEN.

[lefty]

Last time I checked, you need to win regular season games to get in the playoffs :sleep

Last time I checked, your playoffs spot is not guaranteed either

[lefty]

Omg Kg!!!!!!!!!!

:lol

[kace]

DO NOT LET SHOOTERS OPEN.

OK. great advice. Hope Pop knows this trick :rolleyes

[Ice009]

That's OK though keep attacking and stay aggressive.

[Johnny RIngo]

amazing that we're still in the game when we're getting killed on the boards and couldn't hit a shot in the first half. props to the spurs for not giving up on this one.

Same thing happened vs the Mavs in the 2OT game. They beat us on the boards and shot better than us but the TOs killed them like they're killing the Suns tonight.

[Reck]

The Refs were paid a big bonus to screwed the Spurs.

[txallstar]

why dont they just start showing the celtics game already, they cant wait. i wish they would show more kg warming up.... shit heads

[Warlord23]

Timmy is a fucking warrior

[Spork KIller]

oh really? is that how it works?
:lmao

I thought the Spurs just got to waltz into the playoffs cause the NBA likes to watch them whip the Suns' ass in the post-season.


Flopping all over the place and using dirty tactics like Bowen's and the Hack-a-Shaq it's easy to beat anyone. :hat

[Reck]

Fucking refs.

Its over.

[Warlord23]

Refs are sickening .... there were like 3 fouls on that play and they call a fucking jump ball??

[kace]

Jump Ball ????????? Come On !!!!!!!!!!!!

[peskypesky]

Spurs have butterfingers all of a sudden. :(

[spurastic]

NBA is corrupted.

[Rummpd]

@#$ the refs.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

[Rummpd]

Spurs going good 5 on 8

[peskypesky]

Flopping all over the place and using dirty tactics like Bowen's and the Hack-a-Shaq it's easy to beat anyone. :hat

especially the Phoenix Nones

[Warlord23]

Timmy is showing how defense is played in the 4th quarter

[lefty]

Parker you DUMBASS :pctoss

[Reck]

Can it get more obvious then this?

These refs aren't fit to do their jobs. I cant believe this.

[peskypesky]

Spurs doing everything they can to help the Nones.

[Quiet Strength]

The refs are full of it this game.. fuck!

[kace]

shut tony ! even if the spurs are fucked by the refs

[Rummpd]

Piss on these refs

[peskypesky]

Why do we keep letting them in this one? Pity?

[dolacheck]

Omg Are They Ever Going To Call A Foul On The Suns?????

[lefty]

Parker fuck you !!!!!!

immature baby

[boutons_]

so many missed shots!!!

[Darthkiller]

hahhahahahahaha parker got a technical. FUCK THEM HONKY ASS REFS


how is that on the refs. TP was jumping and yelling like a monkey

[DAF86]

WTF Tony? STFU it's not a time to be giving points away

[weebo]

what the fuck is parker's problem?

[Quiet Strength]

how is that on the refs. TP was jumping and yelling like a monkey

For a reason

[Amarelooms]

Parker got away with an offensive foul :elephant

[kace]

ouch. this layup would have been welcomed.

[Ice009]

Come on Spurs!

[Reck]

Wow..just wow.

[Warlord23]

Parker has forced it too much tonight, we could've run much better plays to get someone open in the last few possessions. They're packing the paint, we need to make them pay from the outside.

[Ballin Boy]

not being a dick cuz i want the spurs to win but tony wasnt fouled on that shit and deserved the t. That as dumb

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN TP missing some easy ones

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker and Manu have choked so bad these last few minutes. Unbelievable that two vets with three rings a piece can be making such stupid, retarded plays.

[Nick, the Nazi]

what the fuck is parker's problem?


He's French.

[kbyanks21]

the refs better not give them a call to bail them out!

[lefty]

what the fuck is parker's problem?

He's immature.
Last season in the Hornets series he went 1 on 1 vs CP3 and makes bad decisions

Tonday he is pissed off so he tries to score on the following possession

Hill > Parker

[urunobili]

if we get this win it could be the biggest and most key W of the season... the NBA did a nice job not letting the spurs have this one easy with the officiating...

[itzsoweezee]

tony's been playing great. but he's not getting ANY calls. these refs are on some serious bullshit.

[Borosai]

Parker got hit on the head during that last shot attempt...

[kace]

YOU KNO NOW WHY HE WAS SCREAMING ?? did you see this fault on his arm and head ??
Incredible.

[kbyanks21]

Defense!

[Warlord23]

Excellent show on the pick and roll by Timmy

[Darthkiller]

only if shaq had made any of his ft

[AnotherArgie]

Why is Finley closing the game?

[Spork KIller]

Fucking Losers...let the excuses begin!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Suns win!!

[kace]

OUCH !! bad defense

[Reck]

Fuck trying to tie this. Win it with a 3.

[Warlord23]

Mother fucking Finley on defense cost us that play

[txallstar]

gosh the suns fucking suck and the spurs lose to this team in the regular season. better lose in the regular season then when it matters....losers.

[baseline bum]

Goddamn Finley

[Ice009]

PATHETIC UCKING DEFENSE.

AFTER all that shit you give them a layup????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????

[lefty]

Why is Finley closing the game?

To allow Grant Hill to score

[Johnny RIngo]

Duncan was playing great D on Amare with 5 fouls and Parker and Manu missed ALL of those scoring opportunites. Now it comes back to bite them in the ass at the end of the game.

[AnotherArgie]

Why is Finley closing the game?

Fucking saw that coming.

[Kyle Smith]

Timmy, you wanna come in and shoot a 3 for old times sake?

[Darthkiller]

deja vu?

exact same play that killed the magic the other night

[weebo]

timmy for 3!!

[Ice009]

So it was Finley's fuck up??????????

[Spurs Brazil]

Pathetic

Go to manu and win with a 3

[it's me]

Just one question why Finley and not Bowen for that play?????????????//

[Rummpd]

Time for Timmy to hit another three and justice!

[Quiet Strength]

Just one question why Finley and not Bowen for that play?????????????//

Seriously

[Josepatches_]

It was TP's fault.Nash made the screen so TP has to take Hill.It wasn't Finley's fault

[Warlord23]

Fuck you all Phoenix bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lefty]

woooooooooooooooooo

[Reck]

Wooooooooooooooooo0

Get The Fuck Outtttttt

[urunobili]

TP had Thomas wide open and he preferred a tougher shot... i bet clutch TP will

Why do people keep responding to Spork killer? IIRC, he's a Rockets fan. He's just trying to wind you up.

[dbreiden83080]

[Fernando TD21]

we won!!! even after the failed Hack-a-Snaq strategy. how much more could we humiliate those bitches??

how did it fail?

[kace]

ahahaha , jrich leaving a 48% 3 point shooter wide open ..

he does that because everyone including him thinks that tony will take the shot and it's his first priority to stop him. it's a great show of respect for tony's clutchness.

Really a good feeling to win on a buzzer beater, especially against the suns.

[Spork KIller]

a 1-point win and these bitches are creaming their panties!! hahahaha :lol

[txallstar]

I think Mason is one TP's favorite targets. He gave him compliments after the last game.

Great win!

[timvp]

Damn, what a clutch shot. He even had to rush it a little bit because time was winding down. Plus he hadn't been in the game in forever.

[SpurAddict561]

We lost to the Lakers last year after we exhausted the shit out of our lack of depth in our bench vs the young Hornets

so what do we do?

off season arrives, we get George Hill, Roger Mason, and put Bonner in the starting lineup

result - we're much younger and have Manu, Oberto, Finley, Hill to come off the bench

problem solved....bring it LA

[dknights411]

a 1-point win and these bitches are creaming their panties!! hahahaha :lol

And a 1-point loss might keep you out of the playoffs. Suck on that one. :toast

[silverblackfan]

I freakin lost it watching this game. At last a win on National TV. Away. On Christmas day. After 5 games in 7 days. Against an a team on a 5 day rest. Getting burnt on calls all game. 4 secs left. Money $$$ Eat it Suns, it is your Holiday meal. Courtesy of the our newest clutch Spur.

[peskypesky]

Hahahahahhahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm still laughing!!!

What a great Xmas present! A last second dagger right into the heart of the Suns.

Never underestimate the heart of champions, and the chokability of the Suns.

Final: Spurs 91, Suns 90 (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/spursworld/2008/12/christmas-day-spurs-vs-suns.html)
By Joe Alexander

Roger Mason Jr. made his only basket of the second half when hit hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Spurs a 91-90 victory over the Phoenix Suns.

Tony Parker drove into the lane and passed the ball out to Mason to set up the winning shot.

Mason had been on the bench late in the game. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich put Mason in at the end of a timeout with 4.3 seconds left. The Spurs had gone more than three minutes without scoring before Mason's 3-pointer.

The Spurs trailed most of the game, but held the Suns to 14 points in the fourth quarter.

Parker led the Spurs with 27 points and eight assists. Tim Duncan had 25 points and 17 rebounds. Michael Finley had 12 points and Manu Ginobili had 11.

Amare Stoudemire led the Suns with 25 points and 13 rebounds. Shaquille O'Neal had 23 points and 12 rebounds and made 9 of 16 free throws.

FOURTH QUARTER

Grant Hill scored with 4.3 seconds left, after a Suns timeout, to put Phoenix in front.

Tony Parker has the Spurs' last seven points. He was hit with a technical with 1:01 left. It's tied 88-88 with 24 seconds left.

Tony Parker scored back-to-back baskets on a break and a jumper. The Spurs have their biggest lead at 88-84.

Michael Finley chipped in a couple of baskets and it's tied 83-83 with five minutes left in the game.

The Spurs are playing solid defense to open the fourth quarter and Manu Ginobili has two quick baskets. The Suns lead 79-77 with less than nine minutes left.

THIRD QUARTER

The Suns finished a fast-paced third quarter with a 76-71 lead. The Spurs outscored the Suns 32-29 in the period.

Tim Duncan scored 12 points in the quarter. The Spurs fouled Shaquille O'Neal three times at the end of the quarter - he responded by hitting 5 of 6 free throws.

The Suns forged back in front and lead 65-62 late in the third quarter. The Spurs got 3-pointers from Tony Parker and Michael Finley.

A Tim Duncan basket put the Spurs in front 54-52 for their first lead of the game.

Tim Duncan has six points in the first five minutes of the second half. The Spurs tied it 52-52 and are back even for the first time since it was 0-0.

SECOND QUARTER

Phoenix big men Amare Stoudemire and Shaquille O'Neal combined for 26 points to carry the Suns to a 45-39 halftime lead. Tim Duncan and Tony Parker had 11 points each for the Spurs, who never led in the first half.

The Spurs hadn't hit a 3-pointer until Matt Bonner made one with less than three minutes left in the first half. That was part of an 8-0 Spurs run that cut the lead to 41-39.

Shaquille O'Neal may be slowing down, but he can still be a force in spurts. He scored the last three baskets and the Suns' lead is 37-29.

The Spurs outscored the Suns 9-2 to start the second quarter and cut the lead to 29-27. Tim Duncan is up to 11 points.

FIRST QUARTER

The Suns scored the first 11 points of the game and the Spurs shot 31 percent the first quarter as the Suns finished the period with a 27-18 lead.

The Spurs are slowly starting to recover from a rough start that saw they trail by as many as 13 points. Manu Ginobili's first basket cut the Suns' lead to 23-16.

Midway through the first quarter, the Suns' Amare Stoudemire had 10 points and the Spurs had six. The Suns led 17-6.

The Suns made their first four shots, including two by Amare Stoudemire, and lead 9-0. Timeout Spurs.

[Spork KIller]

You can't even post under your rocketfan screen name!! How is that??

After one of the most obviously one-sided officiating I have seen in a long, long time while watching a regular season game....


Mason makes my Christmas super Merry.


WHAT A GAME! Spurs beat the Suns + 3 to rip their hearts out of their chest again. The announcers sounded SO sad afterwards. Brilliant freaking game. If we executed at ALL on offense it would not have been close... or if we didn't start at 30% for the game.


What a win. Go home, Phoenix, you aren't even good enough to take us with the refs in your back pocket. Hope to see you in the playoffs again.

[peskypesky]

Damn, what a clutch shot. He even had to rush it a little bit because time was winding down. Plus he hadn't been in the game in forever.

Too bad you can't have a gif of Mason making that three over and over.

Props to the always classy Suns fan flipping off Mason and the Spurs by the sideline.

I agree.....I missed the first half, cause I got the times mixed up and I was busy with family anyway.....but the 2nd half was horribly officiated. I couldn't believe the fouls they were calling on SA and then the ones they weren't calling on PHX. BTW, I hope Pop will leave hack a shaq in the past after this game. The strategy worked in the playoffs, but so far in 2 games this year, it really hasn't worked.

I like angry Duncan. When he gets mad, nobody outrebounds him. He needs to get Hulk out more often. He could be a 20/20 player.

This was a very good win...to beat a quality opponent on the road is very important.

It was an entertaining game by both teams.....good intensity and came down to the wire. What more can you ask for as a basketball fan.

GO SPURS GO

[Amuseddaysleeper]

You name the big thats available that can do that, and I'm sure the Spurs would be happy to get him.

Mutombo.

His low post game is iffy, but he can block shots at the rim

The Hack-a-shaq did work. The point isnt to hope Shaq misses his FT's, its to disrupt the other Suns players offense. Take them out of the equation for a while and their offense stagnates.

Just look at the point differential in the 4th quarter.

spurs 20, suns 14

Thank you.

Someone gets it...

Good shot Mason.

It was nice to get the win at the buzzer like that, but honestly this win is nothing to get excited about. I feel we should have had the game put away by the start of the 4th. We missed so many easy shots. The Spurs are probably the worst team in the league at putting easy buckets in.... Phoenix is just another average easy team on the schedule, like Minnesota, Sacramento, the Lakers, or Charlotte...a team we're expected to beat and we did. So, nothing to celebrate big about. The Spurs have been winning games like this for years. Again, nothing to get excited about.

But you can't even beat the lakers!! how is that??

This thread isn't about the Lakers. It's about the Spurs and Suns game which the Spurs won.

Just what DO you get excited about?

[SenorSpur]

Merry GD Christmas to the pansy-ass Suns.

Wow! What a finish. I can't stop laughing - and it's been 45 mins since the game ended.

If he wasn't already, Mase is DEFINITELY a Spur now.

Spurs overtook both the setting Suns and the refs with Mase's clutch dagger 3-ball.

And to Spork Killer - GAFL. There's your holiday gift. Special delivery courtesy of Mase.

Now that's what I call a Christmas present!

[Reck]

If you cant get excited about a win like this one. Then I dont know what you are. Not Human, that's for sure.

[SpursDynasty]

Not a Rocket fan but that team also owns your pathetic club this year

This thread isn't about the Rockets. It's about the Spurs and Suns game which the Spurs won.

Mason is a fucking STUD, that's for sure!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! SUCK IT, PHX!!! :lmao

If Stern is really a legit guy, then he will look into the refs officiting travesty on this game.

It could not get much more obvious that the refs were being unfair to the Spurs..on both ends of the court.

If I didn't know better I would've thought Tim Donaghy and Joey Crawford were working this game!

Yeah BITCHES!

I agree with this. When Amare was getting owned by Timmy, the Spurs should have taken advantage of those extra possessions. Tony and Manu almost blew it:

2:47 Phoenix full timeout 88-87
2:32 Tony Parker misses 26-foot three point jumper
2:31 Tim Duncan offensive rebound
2:09 Tim Duncan lost ball (Shaquille O'Neal steals)
1:53 Amare Stoudemire misses 5-foot jumper
1:52 Tim Duncan defensive rebound
1:52 Jumpball: Tim Duncan vs. Shaquille O'Neal (Kurt Thomas gains possession)
1:31 Jason Richardson personal foul (Manu Ginobili draws the foul)
1:27 Manu Ginobili misses 7-foot jumper
1:25 Shaquille O'Neal defensive rebound
1:09 Amare Stoudemire misses layup
1:08 Tim Duncan defensive rebound
1:01 Tony Parker misses jumper
1:00 Jason Richardson defensive rebound
1:00 Tony Parker technical foul (1st technical foul)
1:00 Steve Nash makes technical free throw 88-88
0:49 Amare Stoudemire misses layup
0:48 Tim Duncan defensive rebound
0:29 Tony Parker misses layup
0:28 Shaquille O'Neal defensive rebound
0:24 Phoenix full timeout
0:07 Phoenix 20 Sec. timeout
0:04 Grant Hill makes layup (Amare Stoudemire assists) 88-90
0:04 San Antonio full timeout 88-90

Tied for 3rd in the West now...not good enough, we should be 1st in the West. Since we'll sweep the season series with L.A. this season, we can afford to be a few games behind for now. We avenged that B.S. win that Phoenix had over us opening night. Time to avenge the B.S. Milwaukee loss this Monday.

[pauls931]

Two things, Karma and poor defensive rotations. Even with my orange glasses, I couldn't miss the homecourt calls Pho was getting at the end. The ending suprised me but if pho won, I wouldn't feel that good about it since it was close and the officiating was bad.

[Darthkiller]

phoenix needs to run more, they have like no easy basket right now, that's why they only scored 14 points in teh 4th. At the beginning when they were running, they were on a 9-0 run.

Perhaps. Their interiour d has improved somewhat but they still can't deal with the pick and roll well and miss rotations left and right.

[Spork KIller.]

Beat them in 99 and 03, both title years for the Spurs, when did the Suns beat anyone and go onto to the title, pal???


Honestly, I'm a Spurs fan but I come in here and act like a troll to get y'all fired up. Otherwise, why would my posts be so weak and unoriginal?

[Def Rowe]

Nice win Spurs.

[Avitus1]

Fucking great win. Merry Christmas everyone!

[Big P]

Fucking Losers...let the excuses begin!!!!

Eat a dick :toast

[T Park]

:lmao

Dumbass got banned and still comes back.

God what a loser.

[kobyz]

i'm glad for the win but what's up with the Spurs scouting? the last Grant Hill basket was the same play Phoenix was running against orlando in the end of the game last week, The Spurs should have been ready for this!

[Big P]

The only thing that would have made this better was if Steve Javie was one of the refs.
