Game Blog: Spurs vs. Suns - Jan. 29

[WildcardManu]

just like that he shuts the crowd with their fake defense chant

[South Side Spurs Fan]

Finley's defense SUCKS

[Spurologist]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

nevermind

it's Hill for tp

[DROB4EVER]

We've got to start believing in Bonner at some point. Tonight is the night. Gotta start supporting Matt.

Hey when I was 5 I believed I could fly, that shit didnt work out too well either!

[Yorae]

Nice for spurs to be very aggressive.

[TampaDude]

Tie game!!!

[Libri]

Hill is in.

[mystargtr34]

Penalty yet or what? Seems like alot of fouls.

[JohnnySixString]

Fin sucks on D!!!



Finley's defense SUCKS


These days, what doesn't Finley suck at?

[pawe]

2 pgs and bowen, lets see what pop is up to.

[peskypesky]

Do you think they accidentally removed Pop's defensive thinking center when they cut the cancer out of his head?

[Ice009]

that slipping bitch Nash

[peskypesky]

Bowen disrupting Suns offense

[Reck]

Hack a Bowen? Really Suns? Pathetic attempt.

[Yorae]

bruise-a-bruce?

[m33p0]

small "small ball" :lol

[ace3g]

looks like the Suns might try a "hack a bowen"

[Trainwreck2100]

8 fts the whole season

[Yorae]

These days, what doesn't Finley suck at?

Pissing off spurs fans...

[Spurologist]

These days, what doesn't Finley suck at?

overall, FIN hasn't played all that bad. His shooting percentage and 3pt percentage are the highest in 3 years

[peskypesky]

Hack-a-Snaq in the 4th?

[Capt Bringdown]

I don't understand Pop - when the opponent goes small, we go small. When they go big, we go big. How about making the opponent adjust to us for a change?

[raspsa]

Shaq out of the game.. feed Duncan every trip down..

[tomtom]

hack a bowen?

[HarlemHeat37]

hack-a-Bowen lol..

[JohnnySixString]

overall, FIN hasn't played all that bad. His shooting percentage and 3pt percentage are the highest in 3 years


That may be so, but lately it seems like every time he steps onto the court, the life force is sucked out of the Spurs even more.

[tp2021]

I thought that was dirty, Phoenix.

[Spurologist]

Great fucking defense

FINALLY

[Bob Lanier]

"How does it feel to be fouled"?

No, Collins, Shaq would ask Bowen to tell him how his ass taste.

[Trainwreck2100]

idiotic shot by barnes

[pawe]

hack a bowen

[peskypesky]

Spurs D at last...Bowen harassing on perimeter, Duncan blocking in the paint

[tony09manu]

Go Bruce!

[024]

hahahah hack a bowen.

[WildcardManu]

lol @ hack a bowen

[Spurologist]

suck it, Terry Porter

[TampaDude]

Suns going with the Hack-a-Bowen...

[m33p0]

stick it to them, bruce!

[tp2021]

You go, Bruce! You're my allstar. :)

[Yorae]

It's bruise-a-bruce.

[Death In June]

The suns really fail spectacularly when they try to model their organization after ours. Be yourself, Phoenix.

[tomtom]

bowen stepping up!

[pawe]

more rest for the spurs. nice!

[TDfan2007]

me thinks they should do hack-a-tim to be honest. He's been off since the first quarter.

[Spurologist]

:lol

I'm loving this

[peskypesky]

Spurs looking good. F--- all the Bowen haters.

[m33p0]

Stick them free throws, bruce!

[Yorae]

suck it, suns.

[JohnnySixString]

Hack-a-Duncan would be more effective for the Suns.

[Reck]

Porter is retarded.

[TDfan2007]

The suns really fail spectacularly when they try to model their organization after ours. Be yourself, Phoenix.

:lol win!

[angelbelow]

lol hack a bowen is hilarious

[TampaDude]

Bowen goes 5 of 6 at the line...LOL...suck it, Suns!!!

[TDfan2007]

Tim can't buy a call.

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL no call? as if Nash could strip Duncan..give me a fucking break..

[Spurologist]

where's the hack now?

[WildcardManu]

nash is washed up, he should come to our bench and get his dignity ring

[peskypesky]

Tim has to keep his cool.

[tomtom]

right in his face!

[Spurologist]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Libri]

Ginobili!!

[pawe]

wow, nice shot by Manu!

[peskypesky]

Manu drills it!

[peskypesky]

Barnes answers with a 3

[024]

damn i thought mason would be more committed to defense.

[HarlemHeat37]

Roger Mason misses way too many rotations, he's a horrible team defender..

[DROB4EVER]

Boy does Mason have shit for brains.........stay with your man!

[Yorae]

Fuck this barnes.

[WildcardManu]

eat it bishes

[peskypesky]

The Rash!!!

[pawe]

lets get a point here

[DROB4EVER]

We are giving up way too many points!

[TampaDude]

Nash with the hold...and the T!!! :lol

[peskypesky]

God, if Mason could just learn from Bowen

[Spurologist]

George Hill might be the spurs 3rd best defender

[peskypesky]

haha

[pawe]

yes manu!!! haha nash!

[DROB4EVER]

I guess nash has shit for brains too!

[WildcardManu]

thank you nash for the free 3 points

[peskypesky]

George Hill might be the spurs 3rd best defender

he's quite good... long active arms

[Juanobili]

lolllll

[JohnnySixString]

They better recognize and step up their D way more in the 4th. No way the Spurs get lucky in a shooting match vs the Suns again.

[Yorae]

Go Manu!!!!

[WildcardManu]

I guess nash has shit for brains too!

It happens when you stay too long in a Suns uniform

[lurker]

Ugh. I'm tired of these moody bitches and their technical fouls.

[Kriz-Maxima]

What an idiot.

[peskypesky]

love it..going into the 4th with the lead

[Reck]

Fuck the Suns.

[angelbelow]

nash getting nashty

[DROB4EVER]

:lol
It happens when you stay too long in a Suns uniform

[peskypesky]

we got this

[m33p0]

stupid porter. he should have been calling tim's number for the intentional fouls. :lol

[TDfan2007]

Mason's defense is unbelievably bad. I don't get it.

[Juanobili]

haha the play turned out with the best case scenario

[HarlemHeat37]

suns Fg% Went Down By 4% When Bowen Checked In In The 3rd Until The End Of The Quarter

[pawe]

look at that little bitch nash trying to bait bowen to commit a foul

[arial]

Hi... GO SPURS GO!

[angelbelow]

what an exciting game.

[milkyway21]

lot of technicals on both sides tonight :blah

[TampaDude]

Spurs taking an 89-84 lead into the 4th...if they have any defense left tonight, now's the time!

[peskypesky]

i'm actually surprised shaq hasn't played more...i thought the suns looked better when he was on the floor...but maybe he's pooped

[Biggems]

Bowen's got two words for all those fools wanting to trade him.......

"SUCK IT"

[Trainwreck2100]

What was Nash bitching about, he was holding him

[Spurologist]

:tu to Bowen for stepping up and making free throws.

Spurs played their best D in the later part of the 3rd quarter. That needs to continue in the 4th to close it out

[Biggems]

Hack-a-Bowen is yet another in a long list of failed strategies that the Suns have employed against the Spurs

[arial]

Damn I forgot how late it is in SA right now. Hello from San Francisco my fellow San Antonioian's. I'll be in Oakland Monday watching the Spurs vs Warriors sports my Spurs gear. :flag:

[Yorae]

Hope they make it a three. (manu's shot i mean)

[pawe]

ok, you guys showed us you can score, now let's win this game with defense.

[Yorae]

Bowen +11

[lurker]

I wonder who will get ejected first.

[Spurologist]

Mason's defense is unbelievably bad. I don't get it.

+1 it hasn't been the best today but i think the reason pop added in to the starting lineup was his improved D

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

i'm actually surprised shaq hasn't played more...i thought the suns looked better when he was on the floor...but maybe he's pooped

or in foul trouble. I said the Spurs would win because of the infamous late 3rd quarter engineered by Manu every time these two teams play. I hate being right.

[pawe]

see, did bowen bitch about the intentional fouling? no. --because he makes the FTs. learn from him snaq

[HarlemHeat37]

wow, that was lucky as hell..you can't play better D than that, Barnes taking a contested 20 footer..

[Libri]

Nice drive and pass by Manu.

[TDfan2007]

wow Tim just can't buy a FG right now. Maybe a few FTs will get him going.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

wow, that was lucky as hell..you can't play better D than that, Barnes taking a contested 20 footer..

Barnes taking anything is good defense.

[Capt Bringdown]

Matt Barnes sporting his heroin junkie tats. Nice.

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan moves like a freakin slug when he catches a pass for a wide open dunk. Go to the rim with some authority for a change and you wouldn't get stripped so much.

[Death In June]

Look at this guy making excuses...four years of bad luck, give me a break.

[Yorae]

Manu reserving his body for the playoffs....except for the suns lol.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

fuck you Amare.

[Trainwreck2100]

wow, that was lucky as hell..you can't play better D than that, Barnes taking a contested 20 footer..

That's the GS/Dal series barnes right there

[WildcardManu]

Spurs ball

[pawe]

TD is the only one rebounding

[peskypesky]

Duncan working the offensive glass!

[WildcardManu]

manu needs to put more cojones on those shots

[DROB4EVER]

so tired of seeing manure jack up 3s

[Biggems]

Spurs are as cold as a penguin's ass here in the 4th

[HarlemHeat37]

Mase has to make that, wide open..

[Yorae]

why are we jacking up threes.

[Spurologist]

unlucky.

two missed open 3333333

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

TD is the only one rebounding

Don't forget about my man Kurt. 5 boards in 15 minutes.

[pawe]

haha snaq

[WildcardManu]

in and out

[lurker]

Someone make a damn shot.

[peskypesky]

Spurs D looking good...but now offense sucks. :(

[DROB4EVER]

Damn Mason is worthless on the road!

[TDfan2007]

can't buy one now. And we're getting wide as hell open looks.

[timtonymanu]

oh no here comes the offensive drought.

[Yorae]

Now it's a brick fest.

[arial]

Cmon lets sink some of these open shots.

[Reck]

Drive to the hoop. Shit.

[tony09manu]

now that they can't score, we can't. great.

[024]

better defense. much better.

[HarlemHeat37]

we NEVER make momentum 3's..it's been like this for years, which is part of the reason we always allow teams to come back after we build a good lead, or we start getting momentum..

[Biggems]

all but one of our shots in this quarter have been open shots....this is turning into the Lakers game all over again.

Hey Pop, put Bruce back in the game.

[Ice009]

Come on Mase.

[spursfan09]

I am falling in love with Manu all over again.

[milkyway21]

I am not comfortable with the lead

[JohnnySixString]

Not a great start for the 4th...but could be worse. This shit ain't gonna cut it though if the Spurs actually wanna win.

[Capt Bringdown]

Note to Spurs: you don't have to shoot long jumpers on every possesion.

[m33p0]

so tired of seeing manure jack up 3s


Damn Mason is worthless on the road!
stfu

[peskypesky]

i think Pop should make an edict....no more 3's for Manu. Take a step inside the line and go for 2.

[urunobili]

damn those back to back failed 3 by mase would have opened this shit wide open

[TampaDude]

Spurs must be playing D because they just went 0-7 from the field and are still leading by 5...too bad, though...they could be up by 8 or even 11 right now...gotta dribble penetrate, guys...take the paint!!!

[Spurologist]

unreal....

just when we get some defensive stops, we can't hit shit on offense. I like the tempo better though

[HarlemHeat37]

not a good time to take Duncan off IMO..

[JohnnySixString]

I am not comfortable with the lead

Spurs fans can never be comfortable with any lead, unless the game is already over.

[raspsa]

Spurs need to pad that lead with TD resting... good that Suns are missing as well. Fatigue is becoming a factor.

[Reck]

Spurs dont like blow out games.

They love to the wire games...

[HarlemHeat37]

Manu or Parker going to the rim off Kurt Thomas picks would be a good option here..

[HarlemHeat37]

TONY DIVING!! that's what I like to see from TP..

KURT!!..

[Spurologist]

KT

off board and put back

[peskypesky]

BIG offensive board and putback by my man KT!

[Libri]

Another turn over by the Suns!

[Reck]

Ok well the Suns want to lose this game.

[Spurologist]

Bowennnnnnnnnnnnn

3333333333333333333333333

great attack by tp

[Libri]

Bowen!!

[WildcardManu]

that tp spin move would have been a nice highlight

[TampaDude]

Bruuuuuuuuuuce!!!!!

[Yorae]

Nice D. Go KT!!! (fuck am so late.)

[TDfan2007]

Bruce Bowen is amazing.

[peskypesky]

another offensive board by kt leads to 3 by Bowen!!!

[pawe]

now we're getting somewhere

[Juanobili]

Bruce The Sun Killa!!!

[timtonymanu]

Bowen!!!!

also love Kurt's aggressiveness

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Well congrats San Antonio. Have fun watching a team that wants to win games, it's a privilege I don't have.

[m33p0]

spurs climbing the offensive rebounding chart.

[milkyway21]

he he :lol Bruce 3!!!!!!!

[peskypesky]

Kurt Thomas, you are putting a smile on my face!!

[Reck]

Now the Spurs need to slow the game to a crawl and let the clock do its thing.

[JohnnySixString]

K Thomas keeping the Spurs alive.

[Capt Bringdown]

I wish the Lakers didn't own us the same way we own the Suns. Kinda takes the fun out of it.

[peskypesky]

Duncan 6 offensive boards
KT 4 offensive boards

that is the difference!

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Trading Kurt Thomas to the Spur's former assistant GM should be referred to as, "The NBA's bridge to nowhere."

[raspsa]

Oh oh we're in trouble now.. Comentators praising the Spurs!! expect Spurs to cool off and Suns to come back.. happens every time.

[peskypesky]

if Pop takes Kurt out he's an idiot

[Spurologist]

KT bleeding...forced to come out

TD IN

[Spurologist]

masonnnnnnnnn

2222222222222222222222

98-88 spurs

[Yorae]

KT bleeding?

[peskypesky]

Mason!!!

[WildcardManu]

no lead is safe

[pawe]

mason for 3!!!

[Biggems]

KT bleeding?

like Nash' vagina?

[peskypesky]

lol at Amare

[lurker]

Now the Suns will go through the 5 stages of grief again. They'll drop one or two of the easy games they have coming up.

[Spurologist]

tony fuckin parker

oh shit!!!

[peskypesky]

Oh Shit!!!!!!!!!!!! Tony Parker!!!!!!!

[Libri]

Tony!! hahaha

[m33p0]

tony!
:wow

[Biggems]

Parker just left Barbosa nutless on the court.

[TampaDude]

TP with a devastating move!!! WOW!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Barbosa Out For The Season With Broken Ankles!!

[pawe]

holy shit barbosa go home and take a shower! That was nasty:lol

[peskypesky]

Parker just shat on the entire Suns team

[TDfan2007]

good God Tim just hit something. Jeez.

[peskypesky]

my god, Tony's move was awesome

[pawe]

that was a wide open shot mase

[Biggems]

why in the sam hell do we keep leaving Amare open for that jumper? he has been making it for like 3 years now.

[Ice009]

FOR FUCKS SAKE. DRIVE THE BALL and PLAY DEFENSE. NO OPEN SHOTS.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't like going to Mason there, we don't need to get him going..

stick to what works with the lead in the 4th..the big 3, specifically Tony Parker..

[Yorae]

damn amare.

[peskypesky]

Spurs pissing the lead away...no more godamn jacked-up 3s!!! We have the lead, you idiots!

[TampaDude]

Well congrats San Antonio. Have fun watching a team that wants to win games, it's a privilege I don't have.

Fuck, dude...it ain't over yet...Suns have cut the lead to 8 and there's loads of time left...

[Reck]

Eh..this fail 3 pointers are killing me...

Drive to the hole.

[TDfan2007]

Our D on Amare is pathetic, Tim hasn't hit a shot other than a putback since early in the 2nd, Mason is missing open shots all over the place, Bonner can't play D, and we're STILL winning.

[Spurologist]

Parker just shat on the entire Suns team

:lol

I didn't know shit could be used that way

Spurs can't get too comfortable now. Time to tighten the screws

[TampaDude]

Spurs pissing the lead away...no more godamn jacked-up 3s!!! We have the lead, you idiots!

No shit...Spurs need to dribble penetrate and draw fouls. I can see them pissing this game away, though. :bang

[Death In June]

That "G" commercial is retarded.

[peskypesky]

i just do not fucking get it. what is so hard to understand about this? if you have a 10pt lead with less than 5 minutes to go in the game, you do not need to shoot 3's! let the other team do that. drive the ball in and draw fouls, or shoot a wide-open mid-range shot. but no got-damn 3s!

[Trainwreck2100]

Our D on Amare is pathetic, Tim hasn't hit a shot other than a putback since early in the 2nd, Mason is missing open shots all over the place, Bonner can't play D, and we're STILL winning.

Amare can have those jumpers all he wants

[Yorae]

Lawler's...

[Ice009]

OK let's GO SPURS GO.

[Spurologist]

:pctoss

get td a touch

[pawe]

oh shit we're missing now

[Yorae]

Another 3?

[peskypesky]

and the Spurs shoot another 3 and miss!

[Trainwreck2100]

dammit bowen

[TampaDude]

Run, clock, run!!!

[TDfan2007]

Tony is bailing our asses out.

[peskypesky]

that's it, TP! mid-range

[HarlemHeat37]

absolutely pathetic D by Duncan there..absolutely pathetic..

[Reck]

Tim go sit down...please..

[hitmanyr2k]

Where's Kurt Thomas? He puts up more of a fight on Shaq than Duncan's weak ass.

[tony09manu]

stupid plays...

[Biggems]

For such an intelligent player, Duncan sure does commit at least 2 stupid fouls a game.

[Ice009]

Shit Foul Tim. Make Sure He Doesn't Score.

[milkyway21]

TP whoooooooosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10-pt lead now 4.47 left to go.:flag:

[peskypesky]

Tim, if you're going to foul Snaq, you have to grab his god-damn tree trunk arms and not let him get the shot off!

[TDfan2007]

beautiful drive by Manu.

[pawe]

dammit...same play on amare again!!!

[peskypesky]

too close for comfort

[Yorae]

Manu!!!

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

There is only so much a fan can take. This makes me wanna curl up in the shower in cry like the woman in Leaving Las Vegas.

[peskypesky]

i vote for hack a shaq

[Yorae]

Uh timmy what's wrong?

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan is choking, which is really unusual..

[peskypesky]

we're going to lose this one if we dont score soon

[TDfan2007]

Tim pulling his best KG impression right now. This is getting frustrating to watch.
