my first game blog

:flag:

I was going to start a game blog once but was glad I didn't, since it would have been a day early. :lol

I was like, 'where the damn game blog' ?

[arial]

I'll be in Oakland tonight sporting my #20 jersey :flag::flag::flag:

[Brazil]

Good luck sonic for your first if we loose it will be your last :)

[Cant_Be_Faded]

bloag time.

[pawe]

KILL EM!
Shoot, I should change my avatar already.

[urunobili]

I'll be in Oakland tonight sporting my #20 jersey :flag::flag::flag:

damn bring it on and take some photos to share with us all!

[urunobili]

I love the game blog.

FIFY

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Let the bloaging begin :smokin

[Behrooz24]

Dan Hughes instead of Sean Elliott tonight. :(

[mfanatic]

I hope to see Malik get about 5 minutes tonight

[gingerwave]

Let's go Spurs. :flag:

[it's me]

Good defense............and we win this shit.

:flag:

[Chieflion]

Rebounding. If we don't outrebound the Warriors, our frontcourt is the suck.

[duncan228]

Warriors call on LP. Now I just expect to not get Spurs call. :lol

[xtremesteven33]

Warriors call on LP. Now I just expect to not get Spurs call. :lol



I like the Warriors announcers.....

[duncan228]

I like the Warriors announcers.....

Yeah, they're okay. I would just like to hear our guys now and then.

[ducks]

spurs do it

[pawe]

Lets do this!!!

[Reck]

Bad things happen when Tim tries to dribble the ball more then once.

[mystargtr34]

Warriors yet to get a rebound.

[pawe]

TD on fiyah!!!

[pawe]

nice spin Parker!

[mystargtr34]

Parker vs Ellis should be fun.

[pawe]

Thats my boy Mason!

[tomtom]

what was pop getting worked up over?

[Reck]

Wow and the guys haven't even started bombarding from 3 and Manu hasn't even entered the game.

Looks like a good night.

[raspsa]

Hopefully Spurs open up a big lead and keep it..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I like the Warriors announcers.....

Yeah, they're pretty good. They actually know a bit about the other team most of the time.

However, EVERY set of announcers talks about how Tim pauses at the line and that you shouldn't do that. No argument there, but none of them have worked out that he's probably reciting a mnemonic or rhyme in his head to focus... not very observant.

[tomtom]

duncan just automatic

[pawe]

Wow and the guys haven't even started bombarding from 3 and Manu hasn't even entered the game.

Looks like a good night.

be sure you will not pussy away from the game when it gets a little chippy mmmkay.

[mystargtr34]

Im sure Tim could recite the rhyme while he bounces the ball 3 times, bends his knees and releases in a fluid motion.

[ducks]

105-55 suns in 3 quarter wow

[Reck]

One thing that will never change is Manu coming into the game and turning the ball over and killing the Spurs momentum whille he's at it.

[raspsa]

Spurs getting sloppy.. could use a bit more killer instinct

[mystargtr34]

George Hill is in.

Due for a good game.

[tomtom]

hill block!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

...and every set of announcers is obsessed with IUPUI! :lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I am starting to loathe the Spurs announcers.

I'm resorting to watching the telecast with the Warriors announcers - who aren't too shabby

[raspsa]

Yeah, they're pretty good. They actually know a bit about the other team most of the time.

However, EVERY set of announcers talks about how Tim pauses at the line and that you shouldn't do that. No argument there, but none of them have worked out that he's probably reciting a mnemonic or rhyme in his head to focus... not very observant.

Either that or being the psych major that he is, he's probably just in a counselling session with the ball..

[tomtom]

my god duncan cannot be stpped

[mystargtr34]

Nice D by Hill.

[mystargtr34]

:lol Timmy going Circa 2001.

17 and 5 in the 1st.

[pawe]

Warriors on a roll now.
We cant finish layups! cmon spurs, try to end this early so the starters can rest.

[mystargtr34]

Monta gets George back, with interest.

[tomtom]

yeah other guys need to pick it up, also the D could tighten up

[duncan228]

:lol Timmy going Circa 2001.

17 and 5 in the 1st.

:)

[Reck]

Trying to fastbreak it they lost it. Arggg

[raspsa]

Warriors on a roll now.
We cant finish layups! cmon spurs, try to end this early so the starters can rest.

Yeah, Mason should have dunked that ball instead.. I don't think I've seen him dunk a BB.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Entertaining 1st Q, although our D has been poor.

And Timmy D is conducting and inside-outside big man clinic. :D

[mystargtr34]

As long as Crawford doesnt get hot and go crazy, Spurs should be alright if they go inside.

[024]

duncan with 17 in first quarter. wow.

[ducks]

hill should have dunked it

[tp2021]

Hairston!

[tomtom]

hairston in!

[Spurminator]

Tim going for 62.

[tomtom]

:(

[Spurminator]

Way too much space.

[pawe]

son of a *(&^(&^%*&%$&%$#%$#@!#@!!!

[Reck]

Buzzer beater to end a quarter..

WTF is new?

[mystargtr34]

Fouled too early.

Malik!!!

[Spurologist]

Hill has played good D but that was horrendous right there.

[Pauleta14]

that was bad D Georgie...

[Yorae]

Poor hill...

[Jobbs]

Warriors playing harder than they did in San Antonio earlier

[boutons_]

looks like Tim will have to score 4x17

Spurs need to slow the game down.

[HarlemHeat37]

every team seems to make buzzer beaters against us..even guys like Iguodala and Ellis that don't usually shoot 3's well..

bad 1st quarter IMO..we are shooting well, but we made countless unforced, bad mistakes..we should be up by a good amount..

[alchemist]

15 to 8 run by the Warriors to end the quarter - lovely defense and I absolutely love that blown layup by Mason.

[anjlbitz]

lol @ Timmy making a run at Kobe's record

[mystargtr34]

Spurs might have a tough time with Maggette if he gets going.

[pawe]

nice play brucey!

[tp2021]

Bruce crashing the boards! We don't need a 7 footer!

[Manufan909]

Bowen And1!!!

[tp2021]

Good shit Manu! And Malik was ready to blow it up! :smokin

[pawe]

Fucking idiot maggete!

[Manufan909]

Gino- 2 pts, 1 drawn charge, 1 TO

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

be sure you will not pussy away from the game when it gets a little chippy mmmkay.

Wait for it... wait for it... :lol


One thing that will never change is Manu coming into the game and turning the ball over and killing the Spurs momentum whille he's at it.

Yeah, because every time Manu comes in he kills our momentum. Fuck you're a hater. :rolleyes


Either that or being the psych major that he is, he's probably just in a counselling session with the ball..

Yeah, counselling it to GET IN THE HOLE! :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL @ these lineups..Bowen and Jackson playing C..

[mystargtr34]

Hill
Manu
Bowen
Fin
Hairston

[tomtom]

interesting line up

[Manufan909]

Fin jay

[Fundamental]

Just got home. Looking ok so far. we'll see how the last 3 quarters go.

[Yorae]

Findog!!!!

[Reck]

Wow..free buckets for Warriors..

The paint is fucking vacant..

[Spurologist]

No KT. No TD. No Oberto.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oh lord, ultra smallball. This will not turn out well.

[Warlord23]

What the fuck is this super small lineup? Has Pop lost it? Finley at Center?!!

[Yorae]

super small ball!

[Jobbs]

is this small ball? it's not working

[Yorae]

Uh oh.

[Reck]

Pop got schooled. Lesson learned I hope.

[tomtom]

ugly

[Yorae]

Where are the big men? In hiatus?

[cnyc3]

homers at their best

[Libri]

Pop time out.

[Spurologist]

Pop's small lineup is another massive fail. I despise that shit.

[HarlemHeat37]

Hairston better continue to see minutes..I've only seen him play for about 2 minutes so far this season, and I already like what I see..

[dbestpro]

Pop has never faired well with small ball and yet he keeps going back. He must be addicted.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Well, that was a disaster. Happily, Pop twigged to it.

[anjlbitz]

Come on Pop.. Free Timmy!

[scanry]

:lol:lol:lol:lol

Why the F##k is Pop playing small ball

that to against the Warriors!!!

Man Popovich is one sick CIA dude.

Just hope it doesn't backfire

[Fundamental]

I don't question Pop's intentions or his strategy, but we need a some shot blockers in the post real quick like.

[Reck]

Still no big? motherfucker...

[Duncan2177]

Why does Pop have this stupid obsession with small ball?

[Yorae]

Fuck no line up change?

[Yorae]

Manu!!!!

[dbestpro]

Pop small ball continues to fail. Pop stop the madness.

[Yorae]

wtf...

[Fundamental]

Ginobili looking like my hero again. Good to see that drive to the basket again.

I just got home, where's parker?

[Spurologist]

Pop now has Bonner as center. I feel relieved. :rolleyes

[Manufan909]

Does anyone at al see the reason for no bigs??? I hate it when Pop caters to the opposing team.

[HarlemHeat37]

get Duncan back in the game please..

[tony09manu]

WHAT AND WHY is this lineup!?

[Fundamental]

I just got home, where's parker?

I see him now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu's definitely redicovered his driving game! :)

[Behrooz24]

:lol

[dbestpro]

Pop needs to dictate the matchups. His small ball is playing no defense so he should go big and make Gst match up.

[Spurminator]

Because I miss saying it...

FUCK SMALL BALL

[milkyway21]

game tied? :oops

come on. Get a W.

NO lost tonight

[Cant_Be_Faded]

5 guard lineup? LOLOL

[Jobbs]

Hope Manu is ok

[pawe]

oh manu is hurt

[cnyc3]

uh oh

[dbestpro]

Pop gonna get somebody hurt with the small guys trying to do too much.

[Spurologist]

Bonner needs more layup drills

[Reck]

Bonner fucking sucks.

Wow.

Great game turned shitty.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Does anyone at al see the reason for no bigs??? I hate it when Pop caters to the opposing team.

He's experimenting.

[Yorae]

Fuckity fuck fuck fuck....

[tony09manu]

Can we PLEASE stop experimenting on something that has no chance of working...

[mystargtr34]

What happened.

[crc21209]

Refs sucking off the Warriors, Spurs playing small ball, wtf?

[dbestpro]

Ignorant Pop ball. No we lost all of our rhythm.

[cnyc3]

damn GS announcers.. manu wiped out and "almost tripped up maggette there"

[pawe]

Cmon pop, dont veer away from how you play! Make the warrior adjust to the Spurs, not the other way around

[crc21209]

Manu is the MAN, hey Will, gtfo I'm fine. lol

[Spurologist]

I don't question Pop's intentions or his strategy, but we need a some shot blockers in the post real quick like.

I always question his intentions and this is bullshit.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Please stop[ the experiment Pop, it's terribly UGLY.

Yay, Duncan back.

[HarlemHeat37]

this is so sloppy..

[Typhoon]

Bonner is fucking horrible.

[crc21209]

This is ALL Pops fault, fucker stop fucking around!

[Fundamental]

Bonner fucking sucks.

Wow.

Great game turned shitty.

??? are you 13 years old ???

[Reck]

Mason was wide open Tony...wide open...

[Austin_Toros]

somebody smash CJ Watson
please.

[pawe]

shit, now the team's momentum is off

[Reck]

??? are you 13 years old ???

Oh I meant to say this game is wonderful. :rolleyes

[Yorae]

Damn, let's not get blown out.

[tony09manu]

Pop ruined the momentum.

[Spurologist]

All this shit started with pop's small lineup. Got them fired up and confident.

[ducks]

nice block on to td

[crc21209]

Fucking Pop I hope he realized he keyed the Warrior's run what is he doing trying to help Nellie feel better?

[dbestpro]

Pop tonight is a monumental idiot. He needs to get kicked out so an assistant can take over and make some intelligent decisions.

[alchemist]

Pop's plan: let the Warriors get their confidence going then bring back Timmy to make the game fun.....:bang

[HarlemHeat37]

this game changed so quickly..we were dominating to start, now they've taken over..

[tomtom]

why must pop torment us lol, eh they'll turn it around. no worries

[pawe]

announcers said "no surprise there" after the turiaf block on TD.
Are they serious?

[crc21209]

TD needs to take that shit harder, fuck no name Turiaf. TD should have a 40-50 point night tonight, but of course at this rate not gonna happen cuz Pop's a dumbass and wants to play midget ball.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bonner is fucking horrible.
:lol
That was a really big fuck up by Bonner. He shouldn't miss easy layups like that. Manu set him up perfect.

[timaios]

Pop totally fucked that game !

:bang:bang:bang:bang

[Fundamental]

I always question his intentions and this is bullshit.

Haters always question Pop, until it's championship ceremony time. Then all the haters claim Pop is a genious. Regular season is prep for playoffs. Maybe not pretty, but that's how Pop approaches it.

[Quiet Strength]

Damn pop messed up bad

[mystargtr34]

Turiaf has always defended Duncan pretty well.

[crc21209]

announcers said "no surprise there" after the turiaf block on TD.
Are they serious?


Well they are the Warriors announcers theyre paid to bs for their team lol.

[dbestpro]

I hate ignorance.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Can anybody tell me why Pop went small ball to start the second???

[Austin_Toros]

announcers said "no surprise there" after the turiaf block on TD.
Are they serious?

i was thinking the same thing

[Libri]

Timmy!

[Pauleta14]

announcers said "no surprise there" after the turiaf block on TD.
Are they serious?

Turiafis one of the best shot blcker in the league...

[pawe]

oh shit TD schooling the kid

[mystargtr34]

Haters always question Pop, until it's championship ceremony time. Then all the haters claim Pop is a genious. Regular season is prep for playoffs. Maybe not pretty, but that's how Pop approaches it.

I agree.

But playing small ball against GS isnt any sort of preperation or experiment. That will never work out. So, that was a retarded decision on his part - an absolutely no need for it.

[Yorae]

Td! Tp!

[024]

spurs need turiaf.

[Yorae]

Damn Turiaf blocking guru?

[boutons_]

Warriors could take 100 shots this game, runnin n gunnin

[Reck]

Ok back to 0.

Lets do this again..

[mystargtr34]

Is Manu ok?

Did he get hurt?

[Yorae]

Uh, how tall is turiaf?

[crc21209]

lol Clean strip by Kurt but of course a foul is called.

[mystargtr34]

TP getting it going.

[pawe]

Is Manu ok?

Did he get hurt?

Looks fine now since he just entered the game again.

[Yorae]

Thank god manu's ok.

[Spurologist]

Look for this lineup to start the 2nd half:

TP
Manu
FIN
Hill
Mason

[tomtom]

Kt!

[Yorae]

Crazy Eyes!!!

[Austin_Toros]

Thomas! nice play!
this is why he should be getting court time

[mystargtr34]

Turiaf is about 6'9" i think.

[pawe]

Look at crazy eyes and his 2 inch vertical jump for the offensive rebound :lol

[crc21209]

lmao Oh Turiaf.

[Yorae]

Ohhh too small i think...

[Yorae]

Damn did i say too small? fuck.

[Manufan909]

KT is pimping it out there. If he can serviceably stop a big on the Lakers next game, I'm happy with what we had.

[mystargtr34]

Look for this lineup to start the 2nd half:

TP
Manu
FIN
Hill
Mason

If we need some more veteran savvy he could always throw JV in at the 5

[alchemist]

watching Ginobili watching Jackson get another offensive rebound is beyond pathetic.

[Yorae]

Damn fuck turiaf.

[crc21209]

50-46 GS. Not good. Spurs need to get their head out of their ass.

[tp2021]

Tim and Bruce with the butta fingaz.

[HarlemHeat37]

we keep committing horrible turnovers..we're scoring fairly easily, but giving them too many chances..

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The Spurs look terrible.

It's gonna be pretty pathetic if the Lakers lose Bynum and still widen the gap between them and the Spurs.

[mystargtr34]

KT is pimping it out there. If he can serviceably stop a big on the Lakers next game, I'm happy with what we had.

Thomas is a bad matchup against LA. Gasol has too much size and Odom is too quick.

[Austin_Toros]

If we need some more veteran savvy he could always throw JV in at the 5

I wouldn't call that lineup "savvy"

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Guys, don't forget we're playing the Warriors and Pop wasn't too worried about them, so he tried something zany. He's allowed to do that stuff, and this is the kind of game to do it (and the 2nd Q the perfect time). Sometimes he discovers gold, this time it was fool's gold. C'est la basketball.

[Yorae]

Oh well, second half will be totally different.

[024]

turiaf is doing pretty well denying duncan of position.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs are letting these MIDGETS have their way with them.

[dbestpro]

Pop is really having a bad game. Even though we had a good start we always struggle when Tony and Tmmy take all most of the shots in the first quarter as none of the rest of the guys ever get into a rhythm.

[Yorae]

Come on guys! Go Spurs!

[crc21209]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuce!

[crc21209]

OMG horrible fastbreak! Damn it!

[HarlemHeat37]

Mason is in a serious slump..

[Spurologist]

bowen

3333333333333333333333

no it's a

222222222222222222222222222222

[milkyway21]

whoa 46-50 GS?

Each game is important. I remember we lost to a road trip game vs Seattle last yr and came playoff time we worry if we can have a homecourt advantage.

[dbestpro]

Focus, focus focus.

[mystargtr34]

Guys, don't forget we're playing the Warriors and Pop wasn't too worried about them, so he tried something zany. He's allowed to do that stuff, and this is the kind of game to do it (and the 2nd Q the perfect time). Sometimes he discovers gold, this time it was fool's gold. C'est la basketball.

I dont see how Small Ball against the Warriors could be successful. If he wanted to try and experiment his SB bullshit, doing it against the team that thrives on it probly isnt the most ideal way to go about it.

[pawe]

Yeah, I think pop was trying out some new things against this team for tomorrow.
Aww Mason cmon man! I just put you in my avatar today dude!

[tp2021]

Tim and Bruce with the butta fingaz.

Add RMJ to that list.

[Yorae]

Oh cmon.

[cnyc3]

cmon mase

[JohnnySixString]

Just started watching the game. Now I'm wondering if I should have at all, lol. So, the Spurs are back to playing like shit against another sub .500 team? Shit, the warriors are only a .313 team. I see they are trying to play better, but trailing a shitty .313 team is never a fucking good thing.

[dbestpro]

I hate our defensive effort.

[Manufan909]

Shiz

[Fundamental]

Haters always question Pop, until it's championship ceremony time. Then all the haters claim Pop is a genious. Regular season is prep for playoffs. Maybe not pretty, but that's how Pop approaches it.

by haters I mean spurs fans that get pissed off when we don't win every game of the regular season. It's ok to get dissappointed, but what if your mother called you a dumbass-shitfucker everytime you screwed something up.?.. Have a little respect for the franchise and stop hating everytime things don't go their way. Especially in the middle of a game...they still can win this. Wait until they lose to unleash your lame-ass poor sportsmanship. jeez.

[Yorae]

Come on Spurs! (Damn I wish I am there to cheer them on.)

[crc21209]

52-48 Golden State at the half.

[pawe]

I thought they're gonna hit another buzzer beater again.

[Yorae]

It's ok. Considering the sloppy play, we're only down by 2. Expect a 2nd half turn around.

[Manufan909]

I thought they're gonna hit another buzzer beater again.

nope thankfuly

[crc21209]

OK thanks to Pops BS we are down 4 to a run-n-gun no defense team. Spurs gotta bounce back next half, Enough small ball damn it! TD should have 30 by now not 19.

[HarlemHeat37]

we shouldn't be losing this game, Pop experimented horribly..there's no reason to play small ball with a team like the Warriors, who can play it as well as anybody in the NBA..they have the most talent in the NBA in regards to swingmen..

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Warriors leading by 4 at the half. :lol

[mystargtr34]

Duncan will have to play 40 tonight. This team gets owned as soon as hes out of the game - especially when Pop goes to his Fantasy SB.

[024]

i really don't understand the spurs going small ball. it's not like they have the players to successfully pull it out. they don't have the size nor speed to gain an advantage.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

this is so sloppy..

Just what I was thinking.

They'll tighten up in the 2nd half. They have to.

[tomtom]

peoples need to chill out, they will turn it around for sure in the second half

[dbestpro]

by haters I mean spurs fans that get pissed off when we don't win every game of the regular season. It's ok to get dissappointed, but what if your mother called you a dumbass-shitfucker everytime you screwed something up.?..

Wait until they lose to unleash your lame-ass poor sportsmanship. jeez.


You're right. We should always praise the Spurs. Good fuck up, Pop.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Duncan will have to play 40 tonight. This team gets owned as soon as hes out of the game - especially when Pop goes to his Fantasy SB.

Duncan was on pace to have a 40 point game. He had 17 in the first quarter, :lol yet Pop takes that as a signal to go small ball.

[Spurologist]

End of Half SAS 48 GS 52

+3 rebouding
+3 TO
+1 assists
GS 50% SAS 49%

[HarlemHeat37]

it doesn't make much sense to do it vs. Golden State, but it's clearly an attempt by Pop to see how those players respond to the situation, which is what he always does..

more Hairston!!..

[word]

surely we won't piss this game off....surely.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I dont see how Small Ball against the Warriors could be successful. If he wanted to try and experiment his SB bullshit, doing it against the team that thrives on it probly isnt the most ideal way to go about it.

What you say doesn't make sense. If you are going to experiment with smallball, do it against a team that's good at it to see if you can play them that way. If you can't, you know that you never play their style. We now know this team can't play ULTRA-SMALLBALL (like we didn't know that already... :lol )

[alchemist]

after being up 19-10 the Spurs were outscored 42-29........

[JohnnySixString]

Well, whatever the fuck they are doing or not doing, they better stop letting the warriors shoot 50%!!!!

[itzsoweezee]

spurs look like they're not even trying

[crc21209]

TD has 17 in the 1st, and 2 in the 2nd. What kind of shit is that Pop? Tim was gonna go for 50 tonight and you fucked it up! lol.

[dbestpro]

There is never a valid reason to put that lineup on the floor. Jackson must have felt like Jabbar.

[HarlemHeat37]

the thing about this game is that Golden State is an unpredictable team..they have games where they can compete with anybody, and they have games where they get out of rhythm and start jacking up..

last time we played them, which was earlier in the season, we won by 30+ IIRC..that was one of those out of rhythm games..this one looks like it's going to be the opposite..they have too much talent to count them out..

[word]

after being up 19-10 the Spurs were outscored 42-29........

Awful from the tip off to now. Don't piss this game away pop.

[Thomas82]

surely we won't piss this game off....surely.

I hope not, you don't want to start this road trip off on the wrong foot.

[crc21209]

2 big matchup problems....who plays Jack, and who plays Maggette? Right now they had Bruce on Jack and KT on Maggette but Maggette was somewhat fucking up KT.
