Cmon team, lets go, lets go!!

- In memoriam, the late great run and gun Suns.

[Manufan909]

Damn, I thought the game was 830. I could've sworn thats what it said on spurs.com/schedule.

[pawe]

Cant this game start now! Why do they have to start so late! I wanna get drunk now!

[duncan228]

........WHERE'S everybody?????

It will get busier as the game goes on.

[pawe]

It will get busier as the game goes on.

...and when TP "doesnt" pass and misses a bunch of layups

[kcplayboi_26]

lets run it

[#2!]

almost time
I'm pumped!

[Manufan909]

Let's go!!! I don't care abot Nelson, put the Spurs vs. Suns on, TNT!!!

[Trainwreck2100]

That Jim Beam commercial was beautiful

[Banzai]

Come on Spurs beat the Suns.

[pawe]

Lets get this thing rolling!

[Spurologist]

Damn. 72 degrees in sunny in 'Zona. That puts the weather in the east to shame

[itzsoweezee]

gotdamn, i fucking hate doug collins

[Manufan909]

Fudge, I was hoping Pop would start KT, so he can take on Shaq.

[duncan228]

Wow. Duncan and Shaq with a nice greeting. Usually it's a fast, cold fist tap.

[HarlemHeat37]

Kurt always plays well vs. Phoenix, he should get a lot of minutes..

we need some Manu tonight..a lot of Manu..

wow, what a bad start..a scrub gets an and-1..

[Manufan909]

Not a good start. Hope the Spurs drive and draw some fouls as well.

[pawe]

fuck, not a good way to start the game

[HarlemHeat37]

Wow. Duncan and Shaq with a nice greeting. Usually it's a fast, cold fist tap.

really? they talk and joke all the time in games..

[kcplayboi_26]

good start

[Spurologist]

beautiful pass tp!!

[Manufan909]

Kurt always plays well vs. Phoenix, he should get a lot of minutes..

we need some Manu tonight..a lot of Manu..

wow, what a bad start..a scrub gets an and-1..

Jason Richardson isn't a scrub.

[pawe]

its a shootout

[Manufan909]

No one missing.

[Spurologist]

tp owns the suns

[Yorae]

both teams starting hot.

[Manufan909]

Get close to Amare, Matt!!!

[Brazil]

TP is hot 2-2 and 2 assists

[Spurologist]

FINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNnn

33333333333333333333333

[Yorae]

some defense guys?

[HarlemHeat37]

Tony had a layup there..should have made it anyways..

[kcplayboi_26]

hgahaha lets gooo

[Manufan909]

Bonner should watch Amare, I don't like him constantly trying to double team Nash.

[Banzai]

both teams pretty sharp right now.

[mystargtr34]

I expect to see at least 25 minutes of Bowen tonight. The Suns have quite a bit of firepower despite their struggles.

[HarlemHeat37]

Jason Richardson isn't a scrub.

he's been a non-factor since joining Phoenix..

[Spurologist]

Spurs shooting well but this is phx's pace

[024]

even the announcer knows bonner isn't a PF or C.

[peskypesky]

the bank is open!

[pawe]

where the heck is the foul on TD?

[Yorae]

Uhm i don't like timmy to get into foul trouble. It's "trouble".

[Brazil]

D anyone ?

[peskypesky]

Tony's jump shot looks sweet tonight!

[Manufan909]

TP's jumper is on, but I want him to put pressure on Shaq and Amare. And the Spurs need to get some fouls called.

[Yorae]

Bonner timmy rebound please!!!

[Spurologist]

wtf is mason doing taking a 30 footer

[pawe]

how bout boxing out phx players huh???

[Ice009]

TP JUST STOOD there that rebound should have been his.

[Yorae]

Looks like pop is serious with this one. Bowen getting minutes now.

[Manufan909]

Damn TNT experimenting with angles.

[peskypesky]

Parker with the teardrop

[spursfan09]

They should just start this game at the 6 minute mark of the 4th quarter tied, and go from there. This is a Spurs/Sun game

[Brazil]

Tp !!!

[Manufan909]

Take it to him Timmy!

[peskypesky]

Shaq is still a pretty damn good defender

[pawe]

TD getting bumped and they still wont call fouls.

[Brazil]

TP is apparently motivated by his 3rd ASG

[Yorae]

manu in, wow music to the ears....

[Yorae]

Phx fans really really hate manu....

[Brazil]

nice line up

[Spurologist]

TD is on faiiiiiiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[peskypesky]

Duncan drills it!

[Trainwreck2100]

Dis is a motherfucking game

[peskypesky]

Shaq throwing elbows...a--hole

[Yorae]

Fuck box out guys....

[HarlemHeat37]

nice recognition there by Bonner to get in and pick up the foul, knowing TD can't..

[Manufan909]

Good Bonner, foul his ass so he can't get an And1. And fuck the announcer, the Spurs can play Suns style, problem is the Suns can't play Spurs ball.

[xtremesteven33]

This game is gonna be kick ***

[Brazil]

Matt Bonner 6 min 1 PF

[Trainwreck2100]

wtf is mason doing taking a 30 footer

He saw Bowen was coming in and probably just thought "Fuck it i'm gonna get taken out anyway."

[Banzai]

:flag:

[peskypesky]

i love that chick in the Jim Beam ad

[Spurologist]

good foul by bonner there to make shaq make free throws. Shaq wants to be known as Shaqovic ala Stojackovic because of his stroke

[Pauleta14]

I love the beer commercial !!!
I know, it's irrelevent but...

[benefactor]

Really good start for both teams. Both looked focused and ready to handle business.

[Yorae]

Go Booner!!!

[raspsa]

They can't possibly keep up this level of play for 48 minutes.. the difference will probably come down to how the reserves perform. Great game so far but defense still has to kick in.

[Manufan909]

i love that chick in the Jim Beam ad

I'd hit it, but I'd have to tape her mouth, that accent is annoying. And yahoo has 2 fucking fouls on Tim, stupid shits.

[Pauleta14]

Looks like pop is serious with this one. Bowen getting minutes now.

Bowen has always been great defending Nash to TP is more fresh on the offensive

[pawe]

I hope it stays this close throughout the game.

[HarlemHeat37]

I really hate when Duncan sits..

[Manufan909]

Manu drills it.

[TampaDude]

They can't possibly keep up this level of play for 48 minutes.. the difference will probably come down to how the reserves perform. Great game so far but defense still has to kick in.

WERD...it's looking like a Warriors game out there...the pace is way too fast...

[peskypesky]

Ginobili with a bad shot...but makes it

[benefactor]

Good sign for Manu.

[Yorae]

Manu!!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't know how they don't call a foul on that rebound, Manu had position..

[Spurologist]

:lol the suns fans love manu

[pawe]

Nice D by bowen

[peskypesky]

both teams settling for jump shots

[peskypesky]

tony read my post and drives

[Spurologist]

tp breaking nash's ankles on the way to a beautiful lefty layup :lol

[pawe]

oh nash on rollerblades....

[Brazil]

TP goooooooddddd !!!!

[Yorae]

Tp!!!

[Manufan909]

Was that a commercial timeout?

[Death In June]

Pretty shoddy defense once again; story of the season.

[Banzai]

Nash had his ankles broken by tp?

[peskypesky]

haha!!!! Parker breaks Nash's ankles!!

[Admidave50]

Tony is sharp tonight

[Brazil]

nice TP is increasing his value we can now have Jose for him

[Yorae]

It's a shoot out.......we need defense....

[peskypesky]

TP put him on his ass!

[TampaDude]

TP blew right by Nash on that one...that wasn't just an ankle breaker, it was a knee popper! :D

[Chris]

Holy shit, TP just broke Nash's ankles!

[peskypesky]

Tony is sharp tonight

word. maybe getting named to the all-star team did something for his confidence.

[Brazil]

Anyway Nash is playing well too 6 and 6

[peskypesky]

someone better get Nash a cushion

[Brazil]

word. maybe getting named to the all-star team did something for his confidence.

+1 don't know why but he loves the ASG and he needs this kind of attention

[HarlemHeat37]

I think we give Nash too much respect on his shot nowadays..he doesn't make shots while he's moving nearly as well as he used to..

[Manufan909]

Hope Bonner gets open for a 3 soon, otherwise him being in is pointless. Put in the beard!!!

[peskypesky]

Nash has 6 assists already? And there's still 3 minutes to go in the first quarter??

[TampaDude]

I don't like the pace of this game at all...Spurs need to slow this thing down...

[kcplayboi_26]

Thats My Hommmeeee

[Manufan909]

Bowen drawing a foul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[raspsa]

The All Star game started early in Phoenix.. no defense.. both teams playing nice, no hard fouls, trash talking (yet).. this game need some controversy....

[Brazil]

Nash has 6 assists already? And there's still 3 minutes to go in the first quarter??

yup

[Yorae]

Wow bowen an offensive threat!!!!

[Manufan909]

Manu with the vet layup.

[HarlemHeat37]

horrible D there..Grant Hill was wide open..

..and then Phoenix plays even worse D, allowing Manu to get a layup..

[peskypesky]

you know, after all is said and done, i still respect the hell out of Steve Nash. dude brings it EVERY night. and unlike Chris Paul, he's not a douche.

[Brazil]

Gino from TP... wait... TP passed the ball to Manu ??? crazy

[Yorae]

Manu!!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Bowen drawing a foul is more offense than Finley has shown in weeks..

[Spurologist]

:wtf Hill

Horrendous pass

[peskypesky]

Manu drives and draws foul. I like it.

[timtonymanu]

cmon George!

[Death In June]

#17 for the suns looks like a roided out wnba player.

[Brazil]

you know, after all is said and done, i still respect the hell out of Steve Nash. dude brings it EVERY night. and unlike Chris Paul, he's not a douche.

I fully agree he is a class hell of a player

[HarlemHeat37]

that mistake by Hill is his biggest flaw..he makes way too many errant passes out of impatience..

[Manufan909]

you know, after all is said and done, i still respect the hell out of Steve Nash. dude brings it EVERY night. and unlike Chris Paul, he's not a douche.

Yeah, he mans up. Hll, at least this gen has Deron and Tony, who are class acts.

[Yorae]

Damn hill...nice manu....

[TampaDude]

you know, after all is said and done, i still respect the hell out of Steve Nash. dude brings it EVERY night. and unlike Chris Paul, he's not a douche.

+1 Nash got game, no doubt...he's still one of the best players in NBA history, even if he never gets that ring.

[Manufan909]

Don't flop Tim, get the fuck up.

[pawe]

spurs are getting mugged and none of the fucking refs called a foul

[Brazil]

big 3 26 pts 11-17 !

[peskypesky]

KT drills it

[Spurologist]

KT

for the open 18 footer straight away

GOOD

[Yorae]

F*ck the refs.

[DROB4EVER]

Our D sucks so bad!!! I cant watch........Bonner is just a goof!!

[Ditty]

i didnt know we were watching the jazz and blazers lol

[Yorae]

Who is this fucking Amduson mugging duncan and not being called for the foul....

[pawe]

this thing could have been a blowout if only we can get the rebounds. 60% shooting??? wow.

[peskypesky]

Yeah, he mans up. Hll, at least this gen has Deron and Tony, who are class acts.

don't forget Rose

[mrcoon29]

Score please!

[Brazil]

a game at 120 in preparation not very good for us

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't have complaints about the D so far, they're just making shots..the only play I had a problem with was leaving Grant Hill wide open for that J..

[Manufan909]

Fuck, put in Fab, Porter has Bonner figured out. He can at least get some easy layups, and plays more physical D.

[duncan228]

Score please!

32-31 Spurs, end first.

[it's me]

Where is defence?

has anybody seen it???

[TampaDude]

i didnt know we were watching the jazz and blazers lol

Yeah, so shit...I didn't know the Jazz-Warriors game was on... :lol

[Brazil]

32 - 31 at half 59% FG for the spurs but 1-5 on 3, 11 reb to 12 assists 8-8

[peskypesky]

Fuck, put in Fab, Porter has Bonner figured out. He can at least get some easy layups, and plays more physical D.

it's worth a try

[Manufan909]

don't forget Rose

fuck Rose, you need at least a couple years to really see who he is. And if you count Rose, why not Hill?

[tony09manu]

lol Pop

[peskypesky]

32 - 31 at half 59% FG for the spurs but 1-5 on 3, 11 reb to 12 assists 8-8

haha. it's not the half. just the end of the first.

[TampaDude]

Where is defence?

has anybody seen it???

I've been looking around and can't seem to find it anywhere...I think the Spurs left it back in San Antonio... :lol

[peskypesky]

fuck Rose, you need at least a couple years to really see who he is. And if you count Rose, why not Hill?

you're joking, right?

[Brazil]

haha. it's not the half. just the end of the first.

my bad !!! :lol

[DROB4EVER]

:depressed:depressed
32 - 31 at half 59% FG for the spurs but 1-5 on 3, 11 reb to 12 assists 8-8

:depressed:depressed:(:ihit

[HarlemHeat37]

Ginobili takes a J when he's being guarded by a guy bigger and smaller than he is..force it Manu..

[Admidave50]

Pop looks mad but the Suns hit a lot of jumpers, can't hit it all night, Stoudemire already missed his last few shots

[jack sommerset]

Pop is annoying

[Manufan909]

Bad Hill, you need lessons from Bowen.

[DROB4EVER]

Man ......we cant stop anyone without fouling.

[HarlemHeat37]

Barbosa? what is this, 2006?..

[Yorae]

Damn george....

[Brazil]

Pop looks mad but the Suns hit a lot of jumpers, can't hit it all night,

the same for the spurs

[pawe]

i hate this fucking speed runner. he just runs into everyone and throws it up there.

[Yorae]

Manu missing a lot....

[DROB4EVER]

Anyone else have an idea why Manu cant get to the basket like he did early last year? He has really fallen in love with the jump shot and turn overs.

[HarlemHeat37]

Mase needs to get going..

[Brazil]

Defensive 3-second Technical foul on Louis Amundson

lol

[Manufan909]

I like Manu driving.

[HarlemHeat37]

that's the Manu I love right there..he's so crafty when he's going to the basket..

[Yorae]

Keep attacking manu....

[pawe]

damn, shaq is still unguardable

[Spurologist]

Hill looks lost out there. I don't know if it's nerves or what. Red carpet defense on barbosa every single time and hesitation passes. It's not that hard playing against phx. Aggressiveness and patience

[DROB4EVER]

Tim getting posterized again!

[Manufan909]

Anyone else hate the random angles?

[peskypesky]

Duncan answers Shaq

[pawe]

take that SNAQ

[Jloyola]

Shaq owns Duncan!

[peskypesky]

The two big men making it look like Ali-Foreman

[Yorae]

wow manu with 5 rebs...

[HarlemHeat37]

I like how the game's going so far, other than the transition points we've given Barbosa off stupid turnovers..

[mrcoon29]

that's the Manu I love right there..he's so crafty when he's going to the basket..
Yeah me too, but he gets so beat up going to the basket..he's probably a little tired of that sh!t and is settling for the jumper in his twilight years. :depressed But, I can't blame him!

[Brazil]

Hill is painful to watch

[DROB4EVER]

Man we just dont play D anymore!! We really do need to deal someone to improve our D.

[peskypesky]

this is the definition of a grudge match

[spursfan09]

G. Hill Looks really unconfident

[Spurologist]

No destination is the destination of the undestinated

[TampaDude]

I like how the game's going so far, other than the transition points we've given Barbosa off stupid turnovers..

I don't...no fucking defense whatsoever...this pace favors the Suns big time...

[jack sommerset]

No shaving the head for Mangoo. That llama loving freak will be bald in a few years.

[TampaDude]

Man we just dont play D anymore!! We really do need to deal someone to improve our D.

Get.

Another.

Big.

[mrcoon29]

G. Hill Looks really unconfident

I hope you mean Grant Hill and not George Hill! LOL

[peskypesky]

Man we just dont play D anymore!! We really do need to deal someone to improve our D.

I agree. But how do we get Camby?

[DROB4EVER]

Yeah me too, but he gets so beat up going to the basket..he's probably a little tired of that sh!t and is settling for the jumper in his twilight years. :depressed But, I can't blame him!

Hes only 30-31....this should be his peak!

[Manufan909]

Heinekin was drunk when they wrote that commercial.

And I was serious pesky, if he had minutes on a crap team he'd be getting recognition too. Your memory so bad you don't remember what he did as a starter?

[HarlemHeat37]

Yeah me too, but he gets so beat up going to the basket..he's probably a little tired of that sh!t and is settling for the jumper in his twilight years. :depressed But, I can't blame him!

ya definitely, but he needs to go to the basket to get his offense going when he's in slumps, like he currently is..Manu is way too good to be a simple jump shooter..


Man we just dont play D anymore!! We really do need to deal someone to improve our D.

we're ranked 4th defensively..

[Brazil]

Guys I need to go to bed ! good game ! enjoy see u tomorrow for more trade tp manu and pop's dog

[DROB4EVER]

I agree. But how do we get Camby?

Its not gonna happen, best we can do is scrape someone off the street or grab Elson or Charlie V from Mil.

[HarlemHeat37]

another big doesn't change anything, our perimeter D has been our weakness more than anything this year..

[Manufan909]

Mason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3

[Spurologist]

Mason

333333333333333333333333333333

[Yorae]

small ball???!

[raspsa]

Anyone else have an idea why Manu cant get to the basket like he did early last year? He has really fallen in love with the jump shot and turn overs.

Coaching staff made a decision couple of years ago that Manu had to develop his mid-range game in order to minimize injuries and prolong his career.. this the the manu we have today and til he retires.. hopefully a flash of the old manu will surface from time to time.

[Spurologist]

mason

3333333333333333333333333333

[pawe]

Thats my BOY Mason!!!!

[Ditty]

mason again

[Manufan909]

6 quick points for Money.

[tony09manu]

Omg Mason

[Yorae]

Mason!!!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

The Grinch is getting it going..

[DROB4EVER]

ya definitely, but he needs to go to the basket to get his offense going when he's in slumps, like he currently is..Manu is way too good to be a simple jump shooter..



we're ranked 4th defensively..

Im not talking about scoreing D which is more a product of our slow pace, FG% D is what matters and I think we are like 18th! Anyone can see we are as bad as the suns on D.

[Josepatches_]

There is a big difference between TD and Shaq.TD is guarding Shaq without help while the Suns is double team TD every time he puts the ball on the court.Obviously Shaq has an easier work

[peskypesky]

Duncan f-ed up. Had Shaq in the air but traveled.

[Ditty]

i wish barnes was on this team

[Rappin' Shaq]

The Suns bandwagon is the place to jump on
Cuz if you go against Shaq you bout to get dunked on
I'm bout to rip it up and posterize Duncan's face
Yo, Spurs, tell me how my ass taste!
