[it's me]

90 - 91 Spurs..... Mason with a three with 0.4 left

[EricB]

:lol

Very very tough game today. The game will rest not on how they defend Howard, but Turkoglu and Lewis. If you can keep those two at bay and keep Jameer Nelson within arms length, you have a good shot at a win. Perimiter defense will be at a huge premium and keeping Battie, Howard and others from dominating the offensive glass will be huge as well. Potentially huge momentum giving going into the Laker's game win if it is gotten.

[SpursDynasty]

Easy win tonight..the Orlando Magic don't have any All-Star caliber players. Hedo Turkoglu, Jameer Nelson, and Rashard Lewis are a couple of scorers to watch out for, other than that no other threats, easy W, another day at the office for the Spurs today. Just make sure we stay healthy for the Lakers Wednesday. This game is no big deal.

[ILoveOranges]

[romad_20]

[Brazil]

160 - 86 spurs

[Biggems]

we score 100+ today and we win

we score <90 today and we lose

we score 90-99 today and 50% chance we win.

[duncan228]

is this game on in Austin? Anyone know?

It's on NBA TV nationally if that helps.

[romad_20]

It's on NBA TV nationally if that helps.

Nice. They never black those games out.

91-85 Spurs


BTW Does anyone ever get the FSNHD feed without any announcer audio? I've been getting this for the last 4 games or so. You get all the noise from the arena (kind of like that broadcast NBA TV did a couple of years ago) but no announcers. I have Time Warner here in Austin. Kind of weird. :huh

[xtremesteven33]

Spurs have basically no excuse to lose this game. Although no games are guaranteed i do think they should win.

[honestfool84]

timvp, can we get the vbookie going for tonight?

[Reck]

Spurs get this one in overtime. Forget about guessing what the scores are gonna be.

[Dex]

is this game on in Austin? Anyone know?

I'm showing it on FSN-SW for Time Warner.

Also NBATV if you ain't cheap like me.

[boutons_]

Get the split

[Brazil]

Spurs get this one in overtime. Forget about guessing what the scores are gonna be.

No overtime please, I hate overtimes for me it's a nightmare I need to work tomorrow.

[Rockhound]

Orlando a top 5 team LOL.

Spurs got this no prob.

[Ronaldo McDonald]

Spurs win in quintuple overtime.
:sleep

[weebo]

Spurs get out to an early lead only to let the Magic back in it. Manu goes wild in the fourth to seal the win for the Spurs.:hat

[lefty]

I love game bloags

The Spurs take on one of the top teams in the league when they face the Orlando Magic tonight at the AT&T Center.

It was a little more than three weeks ago that the Spurs lost in New Orleans and Orlando on back-to-back nights. The Spurs are 9-1 since then.

The Magic beat the Spurs 90-78 on Dec. 18. Jameer Nelson was 11 of 18 from the field and led the Magic with 24 points and seven assists. Tim Duncan had 19 points and nine rebounds, but the Spurs collectively struggled and shot 37.5 percent from the field.

The Magic have won 12 of their last 14 games.

Here's the latest on the Magic:

Brian Schmitz, Orlando Sentinel
The Orlando Magic have a chance, starting tonight, to go where no Magic team has gone since the Shaq-Penny days. It's certainly the best opportunity that has ever been presented to the club during the Dwight Howard Era.

spurs- 89
magic- 83

[Obstructed_View]

Game bloag

What a chod.

[balli]

I'm looking forward to this one. I was hoping the last magic/spurs game would be good, but Dwight Howard was all banged up and the Spurs played like rotten ass until I got bored and turned the game off in favor of some other activity. Anyways, lest I digress further, go Magic, but more importantly I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an epic battle between Duncan and Howard, no matter the winner.

[Reck]

No overtime please, I hate overtimes for me it's a nightmare I need to work tomorrow.

I hate them too.

[HarlemHeat37]

tough, tough game..good test to see where we're at at this point of the season..this isn't a back to back like last time, the team is well-rested..Orlando is arguably the 2nd best team in the NBA right now, behind the Cavs..

Nelson and Lewis worry me..

Tony is gonna have to have a big game offensively, same with Manu..we have to make our 3's, but that's the case every game..

[thispego]

Nice. They never black those games out.

91-85 Spurs


BTW Does anyone ever get the FSNHD feed without any announcer audio? I've been getting this for the last 4 games or so. You get all the noise from the arena (kind of like that broadcast NBA TV did a couple of years ago) but no announcers. I have Time Warner here in Austin. Kind of weird. :huh

does that for me also on the hd channel. try simply changing the channel to non hd fssw and then back to hd fssw. fixes it for me everytime

[duncan228]

Pregame show on NBA TV now.

[Yorae]

How about lawler's law to take effect....

As the Spurs players started going out on the court and shooting two hours before the game, they seemed much quieter than usual. I'm not sure how to read that, other than they seem to be taking this game very seriously even by their own usual standards.

[lurker23]

92-84, Spurs with the win is my prediction.

Manu and Mason combine for 37 points.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I love game bloags

I just feel boag-ed.

[WildcardManu]

Nelson is going to get lit up by Parker.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hmmmm, this will be a real test. They are the best 3pt defenders in the league, have the best big man not named Tim Duncan, and can score from every position. Bad matchup for us, but I'm going to say we win a thriller in the 90s... let's say 96-93.

GO SPURS GO!!! :flag:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

BTW, check out Courtney Lee - kid can play.

[WildcardManu]

Come On, Start Already!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Key to this game is shutting down Lewsi and Turk - keep them from going off and we win the game.

[duncan228]

Spurs call!

[Bender]

they said this is Pop's 13th season with the spurs. does that mean as head coach, or as anything..?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Dwight Howard is a real character. :)

I hope he has a great game but his team loses.

[Yorae]

I hate the voices of these Magic announcers.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD with a good start

[Yorae]

Not defensively

[johnnyblues]

TD starting strong... always a good sign.

[hitmanyr2k]

Jameer Nelson tore Parker a new ass last time. He better not let that happen again.

[Reck]

Shots are falling at least.

[Yorae]

He's working on it.

[Yorae]

F*ck howard. Can bowen hit his knees?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim and Tony looking very sharp.

It saddens me that Turk was such a wuss for us, but is so good for them.

[ILoveOranges]

Dwight Howard is a real character. :)

I hope he has a great game but his team loses.

I hope Dwight Howard feels like signing with the Spurs for 4 million a year in the future, because of his great character :).

[loveforthegame]

Howard gets anything he wants against us.

[HarlemHeat37]

I say we continue to play Dwight 1 on 1, don't let their shooters get hot..

[Brazil]

TP and TD running the show

[Spurs Brazil]

Td J!!!!!!!!!!

[Yorae]

Wow TD on fire offensively.

[SpursFan0728]

whats up with pop's head?

[Yorae]

Is it ok to have shootout with magic? Mason should be on.

[SmellyFeet]

Spurs gonna get owned.

[HarlemHeat37]

Howard gets anything he wants against anybody

fixed..

these teams are pretty identical..

1 dominant big man that doesn't have help on the boards or defensively..shooters all around them..well coached..

Orlando has 3 main weapons other than Howard, while we have 2..but our 2 are much better individually..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Damn, the more I see of Orlando the better they look. 4 starters scoring over 15ppg makes them almost impossible to guard... double Dwight and you have 4 excellent outside shooters who will kill you.

Their bench is where we have to win this game - beat their bench, keep up with their starters.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Is it ok to have shootout with magic? Mason should be on.

Um, he is.

?

[Yorae]

Can't watch it Im on audio pass. Perimeter defense bad?

[duncan228]

It's good to be a Duncan fan. :)

[Reck]

3 white jerseys down the hoop and they still cant get the rebound.

[Manufan909]

Fuck, Tim with a block, then a foul.

[HarlemHeat37]

over/under: 3 Kurt Thomas flops when he's matched up against Dwight..

[pawe]

Just got in! Hope we win this game! Shoot the lights out Mason!

[Spurs Brazil]

FInley J!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Nelson already dominating TP..step it up Tony..

[Yorae]

Nice fin!

[pawe]

Nelson you friggin midget, you're going down tonight!!!

[SpursFan0728]

Nelson owning parker

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu needs to have a big game tonight, run their second team ragged.

Tim vs Dwight is the past-present vs present-future of big man play in the NBA.

[loveforthegame]

Who's going to step up? Duncan and Parker can not do all the scoring. Finley's the only other player to score so far.

[Manufan909]

Nelson already dominating TP..step it up Tony..

I thought if a player had one less point and 4 less assists, then that wasn't domination. But what do i know?

[Capt Bringdown]

So only Parker and Duncan are allowed to take shots tonight?
Mason leaves the floor without an attempt? WTF?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Can't watch it Im on audio pass. Perimeter defense bad?

Ah-ha.


Nelson already dominating TP..step it up Tony..

No he's not. He's hit 3 jumpers, Tony has 8/4!

[Yorae]

Manu!!!!

[pawe]

wow, no defense after the gino layup

[lefty]

OMG Manuuuuuuuuu

[duncan228]

Manu with a couple of nice moves.

[pawe]

oh nice pass manu!!!

[mystargtr34]

LOL Manu again

[lefty]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu bloaging

[Spurs Brazil]

MANUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU to Finley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Manufan909]

Manu with the magic tonight.

[ILoveOranges]

Sheeeeesh Manu Ginobili

[SpurAddict561]

We gotta hit some 3's

it's our game play

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu to Fin underneath, a thing of beauty.

Manu's no-look this season is better than ever.

[50 cent]

Transition D sucks.

[pawe]

we gotta stay close...scratch that, Magic needs to stay close to have a chance in winning the game.

[lefty]

Manu just owned Howard on those 2 plays :lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

Nelson is dominating TP, don't look at the numbers..he's getting easy points, where he's just backing down..Tony can't defend him, he has a major size advantage..he needs help on those..he's also cutting Tony off on his drives, where TP usually gets easy points against pretty much anybody..

like I said before the game, Nelson and Lewis..we need to contain them..not a good start in that regard..

[Reck]

Spurs are getting punked by Magic.

[loveforthegame]

Nice to see Fin off to a good start. Now maybe Mason will get going.

[SmellyFeet]

Good going magic. Own those biatches!

[Yorae]

Damn lewis.

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN Manu

[pawe]

thats clearley a travel. no crab dribbling here.

[Yorae]

Manu wtf

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu is WTF??? for good reason.

[SmellyFeet]

Bald manu, good calls refs!

[mystargtr34]

Lewis torching Bonner.

[Yorae]

Rashard is owning us.

[Spurs Brazil]

Magic scoring on every trip

[Manufan909]

BS calls tonight.

[SpurAddict561]

We're not gonna win giving up 30+ pts a qtr

got damn

[Yorae]

Manu is WTF??? for good reason.

Not manu, that play. :ihit

[Spurs Brazil]

Pathetic D

Magic 61%FG in the 1st

Magic up 34-28 after one

[pawe]

magic wont miss.
we gotta play better D on the next qtr.

[sonic21]

where's the D?

[mystargtr34]

The Magic have a lot of offensive firepower, they have mismatches pretty much every trip down the floor.

[lefty]

Let's pick up the D

Our offense is fine

[xtremesteven33]

Manu looks hobbled.

[Yorae]

Oooh what a sig lefty!

[SpurAddict561]

they won't shoot 60 for the game

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nelson is dominating TP, don't look at the numbers..he's getting easy points, where he's just backing down..Tony can't defend him, he has a major size advantage..he needs help on those..he's also cutting Tony off on his drives, where TP usually gets easy points against pretty much anybody..

like I said before the game, Nelson and Lewis..we need to contain them..not a good start in that regard..

I don't agree. Parker had two layups, and another couple of assists of penetration. Nelson hit two jumpers and a layup - where's that backing down you speak of?

As for containing them, sure, we have to contain them, and Turk, and Dwight. Tall order.

[SpurAddict561]

Man I miss Manu in the middle of lefty's sig, and all the way to the left

this low cut manu just isn't the same

[HarlemHeat37]

it's very possible that they continue to shoot well..

Parker can't guard Nelson, nobody on our team can guard Lewis, Howard is Howard..

they're an elite team for a reason..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Gotta slow this game down and force some stops before it gets out of hand.

[pawe]

wtf happened??? damn these commercials

[Reck]

WTF they totally miss the Hill play. :mad:

[loveforthegame]

I love Hill.

[lefty]

Did NBA TV miss the last play?

[Yorae]

Hill DUNKED!!!

[lefty]

Oooh what a sig lefty!

Thanks :toast

[SpurAddict561]

George Hill makes dunk (Roger Mason assists)

holy shit! lol

[ILoveOranges]

George Hill!

[Manufan909]

Hillllllllllll!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

All no-neck team...

A Johnson
A Morrison

who else?

[pawe]

no boos, that was a foul by hill.
spurs 30
magic 34

[lefty]

Spurs just dont have it anymore. This team is small and slow.

And we'll still kick your asses in the playoffs

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr J!!!!!!!!!!

[Reck]

Wow have the Magic even miss a 3 so far?

[SpurAddict561]

now's our chance with no Dwight in

[HarlemHeat37]

I hate when scrubs like JJ Redick score..happens all the time against us, nothing you can do about it..

Hill should have shot that..stupid turnover, instead of cutting it down to 2, we're down 8..horrible..

[Yorae]

Fuck Hedo.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck back to back 3s for the Magic, up 8

[SmellyFeet]

Down 8. Good game magic, own's these old mofos!!!

[SpurAddict561]

it's real bad when Redick hits a shot

[Reck]

Down 7 in less then 2 minutes. Ouch.

[pawe]

even if they dont show it, you know POP will go apeshit on Hill after that play.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Orlando might be the best shooting team in the league: Lewis, Turk, Nelson, Reddick, Lee can all fill it up from outside.

Who is better?

[xtremesteven33]

Magic are hot. Theyll cool down.

[SpurAddict561]

Down 8. Good game magic, own's these old mofos!!!

PrincessPimp, you root for the Lakers now? lol

finally jumped the sunken ship that is the Suns

[loveforthegame]

Those 3's hurt. We were right there. We need to take advantage while Howard is on the bench.

[SpursFan0728]

magic shooting lights out holy shit

[50 cent]

Manu is a fucking TO machine.

[50 cent]

These refs are fucking attrocious.

[loveforthegame]

Those damn turnovers.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fark, lots of bad calls going against the Spurs - 2 on Manu, now that BS.

[mystargtr34]

That was a foul on Kurt

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Reck]

No easy buckets for the Spurs tonight.

[Duncanoypi]

if the spurs lose, i'll blame it on blog spelling....

[50 cent]

Push off right there on howard.

[Yorae]

Nice Manu!

[Brazil]

fuck manu already 3 TOs

[Reck]

Who the shit is reffering this shit?

[Manufan909]

Manu is a fucking TO machine.

And a scoring machine.

And a defensive machine.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good job Thomas

[SpurAddict561]

we just gotta keep it close while they shoot 60% lol

[Reck]

Hill needs to work on finishing moves.

[Yorae]

Too bad hill couldn't finish.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Better D last trip.

Long rest for Tim?

[mystargtr34]

Come on George, go straight at Nelson and draw the foul

[pawe]

they wont stay that hot the whole game. Go Spurs Go!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

THOMAS j!!!

[50 cent]

Hill has some good moves but gets himself in "no man's land" position too much.

That's one of the things Tony is great at not doing.

[Yorae]

Thomas solid.

[itzsoweezee]

past the fucking ball tony. you fucking ballhog.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice D Bruce

[pawe]

thats a travel on reddick anyway

[Reck]

Wow loving the intensity the Spurs are playing now.

[SpurAddict561]

Kurt with offensive rebound, put back, then a J, then a steal

who says this guys getting old?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Intensity of the D has picked up.

[boutons_]

2 consecutive FBs and Spurs don't score.

Magic winning with 3s

Spurs losing with no 3s

[SpurAddict561]

[Spurs Brazil]

[pawe]

[Reck]

Where are our 3 point shooters?

Time to shoot some 3s

[Manufan909]

KT is the fucking shit. This is the Kurt Pop wanted resigned.

[SpurAddict561]

He's money from 17

[Yorae]

Kurt saving our ass right now.

[SmellyFeet]

Wife beater hitting some shots.

[Rockhound]

Spurs are really owning the magic with the howard double team right now.

This comeback all while TD is on the bench.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Land is right, great game to watch.

Love the intensity of the second team D - they flustered the hell out of Howard even when he had a small on him by doubling from different angles. Nice work, Pop.

[boutons_]

Majik 6/7 3

Spurs 0/3, WAY under their attempts

[Brazil]

past the fucking ball tony. you fucking ballhog.

[Spurs Brazil]

SHIT Finley SHIT

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fuck Finley, give it away then take a ridiculous shot when Manu was wide open. :rolleyes

[Manufan909]

Thanks, Fin. Fuck up twice, in the exact same fucking place. Mason would've iced both those open looks.

[Brazil]

Tony is money tonight. You are a Popdamn idiot.

And TP best rebounder of the team at the half !!! :lol

[Yorae]

Damn can't get the lead.

[resistanze]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Motherfuck. They are hitting all their 3s.


Everytime we get close they make a 3

Yup, but surely that can't continue all game. Live by the 3, die by the 3.

[Armando]

what the fuck????? no foul on howard then a late whistle for a phantom foul?



Your joking right?

[Reck]

Why aren't the Spurs even trying to attempt a 3?

They're getting iced by Orlando.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great game though.

Both teams playing at a very high level.

:tu

[Yorae]

Yeah and finley can't keep up.

[pawe]

Your joking right?

did you see me lol? Even the magic announcers saw it. watch the game and stop drinking.

[Spurs Brazil]

FUVCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKkk

[mystargtr34]

How did i know that 3 was going in from the moment Parker hit the shot.

[pawe]

son of a bitch!!! they wont miss their threes. fuck nelson!

[Reck]

Fucking Spurs aren't even trying to get a stop. They're just letting them shoot from 3 at will.

[Manufan909]

Why aren't the Spurs even trying to attempt a 3?

They're getting iced by Orlando.

5 pt lead is iced? Man you're a dumbass.
