[manustarting2gd]

Mason and Ginobilis nuts are so huge they barely fit in their shorts

[lurker]

Congrats to the Spurs, and thanks to the Lakers. :lol

[WildcardManu]

they used up all their leprechaun dust the first three quarters, no magic left for a miracle.

[mVp]

I love this team.

[Libri]

Woohoo!!

[Quiet Strength]

Big win for the spurs!

[peskypesky]

Spurs....fly in under the radar and firebomb Boston

[Supergirl]

[jmard5]

Right now... Mason (+ Hill) > Magette by a wide margin.

[ducks]

avery picked the spurs today

[td_tp_manu]

big shot by RMJ again!

[ManuTP9]

Mason hit another nice clutch shot!, but he still didnt play well today

[peskypesky]

Mason is worthless.

[boutons_]

Manu's always there making the big plays, amazing.

[InK]

Hollinger:rollin:rollin

[Death In June]

and assholes don't want to consider San Antonio a contenderAnd they still won't. People are giving this win to the lakers? I don't know, sounds retarded to me too.

[WalterBenitez]

Who gave you the ball to Finley???

[SPURSfanINoc]

great ephen game!

[Capt Bringdown]

Give the game ball to Bonner.
And our new guys, Hill and Mason came up huge.

[manustarting2gd]

The Mason haters shut the fuck up reaaaal quick huh

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley 1/2

[boutons_]

Michael chokes on one of his favorite shots

[tomtom]

Who gave you the ball to Finley???

he was only one open, no big deal

[Leetonidas]

what's the Spurs record when they break 100 again?

I think if the Spurs win this game, it will be 32-0.

[peskypesky]

take Mason and Finley off the court, they've both been completely useless..

[InK]

Blah.

[tomtom]

wtf

[lefty]

Kg 3?

[InK]

The Game MVP: Gregg Popovich!

Yep i kinda agree. Well coached today.

[South Side Spurs Fan]

I'd just like to remind you guys of a couple of things I said early on this season.

1) When we are playing great teams, Parker can and many times will be taken out of the game. Top tier teams gameplan to stop Parker, and unlike Manu and Duncan, if you play him right (shut down the lane, don't give him any daylight) he can't create for himself.

That being said, I thought he played a great game today against the Celts, being patient and keeping the offense going without forcing the issue. Despite shooting 25% against a defense that was determined to shut him down, he only had one turnover and 7 assists. That's going to keep us in any game.

2) Mason is still a killer (Just hope he makes a habit of showing up for the rest of the game).

[DPG21920]

LMAO. Did anyone see Tim telling Bonner how to make a bounce pass? He said "do the better basketball bounce pass".

[Fundamental]

Respect our AuthoriTIE

[lefty]

Boston fans are going to need a diaper change after this game before they get a rash

[peskypesky]

Yep i kinda agree. Well coached today.

[Mal]

calm down. We won. Now it is time to celebrate

[Spurs Brazil]

[peskypesky]

Huge win for the Spurs. Fuck all the haters.

nice win

[tmtcsc]

Nice win. Mason is clutch.

[mrcoon29]

I think Pierce is pissed seeing as how hard he bounced that ball after the buzzer.

[tomtom]

WOOHOO great win

[South Side Spurs Fan]

Leave it to the "New Age Spurs Fans" to know thier shit.

[ducks]

tp scores alot in big games
he has improved
quit your hating
boston did a very good job on him today however
booner played bad against lakers
but well on the roadtrip after that

[DPG21920]

Defense in the 4th was much better. I like the way they tightened up and executed. They withstood the surge and maintained.

[ducks]

103 pts


on the road

against

Celtic "defense"

with only 7 points from tp:hat

[EricB]

How sweet it is!!!

[Spursfanfromafar]

To all those freaks who questioned the Pop of the Tops' decision to rest the Top 3 (+1 - Finley) for the Denver game.. here's your answer, dudes.. Beating the Champs at their hallowed Garden. Is there a better statement of Pop's worth?

To all those freaks who want instant trades outta every minute possibility, here's your Red Rocket response. ..Trust in those who put in their effort day in and day out.

I still think the Spurs go pat through Feb 19th.. and add a veteran big (Joe Smith maybe) and thats that.. and become players in the trade scene after the season. Enough said. Time to pop some 'pagne over this great win.

[ducks]

31 points in 4 quarter against boston!

[tmtcsc]

No big deal for Celtics. They had a tough stretch and have ups and downs. They are still the class of the East IMO.

The Lakers will go as far as Kobe takes them but they are going to hit a bad patch too. If we keep improving on D and stay healthy, we'll have a shot at catching them for 1 seed.

LOL, the last 2 Champions in the league and the Lakers vs Cleveland gets prime time coverage because of Kobe and Lebron..the Last 2 losers. Makes sense.

[Capt Bringdown]

Yep, considering Parker took the night off, fantastic win.

Rondo with 14 assists, WTF?

[lefty]

31 points in 4 quarter against boston!

+38 in the 2nd

[DPG21920]

Cue the trade TP threads. People in here need to learn how to be emotionally stable during a game. Most games go up and down. Don't get too high and don't get too low. Great win for the Spurs.

[Supergirl]

Celtics got Masoned.

[Leftyventricle]

Awesome Win!! Big up to Ginobili and Mason!! WOOHOO!!!

[EricB]

Ahhh the Tony Parker hater has to wait quite a but, but rears his ass in his rare bad game.

STFU and crawl back in your hole troll.

[Death In June]

Does anyone else think that theatrical bullshit lebron does with the chalk is kind of hokey and stupid?

San Antonio 22 38 14 31 105

:lol

[lefty]

Spurs clearly is a better team than Celtics. Boston's weak when it comes to playing the elite - they're just good at bullying the weaker teams.

[lefty]

Next year, Hollinger, start comparing the Celtics to the Miami Heat the won the title because from here on down is going to be a downward trend with this team.

[timvp]

Nice win. Wasn't the prettiest effort but I'll definitely take a win in Boston no matter how it plays out.

[ducks]

spurs o was great except for the 3

[crc21209]

WOW! BIG FUCKING WIN! I love this team! We're fine as we are damn it! lol. No trades!

[EricB]

This Boston team I said on the Chris and Jason show on Friday and I will reiterate, are not as good as they were last year. Losing Posey and guys like Leon Powe coming back to earth were big hits.

[ducks]

like how pop adjusted on what boston did against tp
and how well booner played

[EricB]

So much for

I just watched the entire game from Afghanistan....

Lots of Spurs haters...and was told that they are too old. yeah....it's like that every year...and yet......The Spurs will always be title contenders...not pretenders or 'has-beens'.

Go Spurs Go!!!!

[velik_m]

Great win for the spurs.

[Spur-Addict]

This....Is.....SPUUURRRRR-TAAAA


:toast

[benefactor]

Good win. Mason almost cost us the game with his horrible defense on Ray Allen late in the game(I was screaming for Pop to put Bowen in), but he once again atoned for it by hitting a big three.

Good to see Bonner and Hill stepping up and playing well against a quality opponent. This is the kind of play we will need from them to compete in the playoffs.

And yes...we still need another big.

[MacGyver]

What the hell is up with nba.com front page? Two main stories are Cavs vs Lakers?! wtf??? :madrun

[bresilhac]

A great win for San Antonio. What you just saw was a preview of the Finals.

[jonnybravo]

Good job bitches.

[SpursFan0728]

great game!

[dbreiden83080]

Great win, Big plays down the stretch..

[TampaDude]

Wow...great road win in the Garden...even after coming out totally flat to start the second half, the Spurs get it done in crunch time. Once again, Roger Mason hit a huge 3 right when we needed it. GO SPURS GO!!! :flag:

[benefactor]

you do realize allen is very clutch
I do. I also realize that he got caught on several screens(he was not trying very hard to fight through them the whole game) which let to an open jumper for Allen and led to Allen beating him to the rim...which caused Duncan to help and leave KG wide open to drain another jumper. Those two sequences almost cost us the game.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

This Boston team I said on the Chris and Jason show on Friday and I will reiterate, are not as good as they were last year. Losing Posey and guys like Leon Powe coming back to earth were big hits.
Saying boston isn't as good as last year isn't anything new at this point. Losing PJ Brown also hurt.

Major major props to the Spurs for getting their biggest win of the season so far!

[Agloco]

Great win. Matt Bonner is the next David Robinson, with range.

:lmao

[Fundamental]

Getting bored of this Kobe Bryant Lebron James love-fest in the following Laker-Cavalier game. Jeez.

[loveforthegame]

Bonner was big today. If he can do that against the Lakers we'll be in business.

Hill was also big of off the bench during the 2nd half.

The big 3 did their thing with only Parker struggling offensively.

Thomas was solid.

Mason sucked all game long and I kept screaming what a terrible shot and he hits nothing but net. Clutch down the stretch for sure.

I thought Finley was actually decent one on one with Pierce but he was all screwed up on rotations. No factor on offense with only 4 shot attempts.

[wildbill2u]

just got back from meeting and found out the news. Who'd a thunk we could win with Parker going 3-12 for 7 points.

Bonner is sealing the deal as the starter. Couldn't have won without him.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

If we had one more wing that could bring the huthle muthle on D, we would own the celtics. Even with our frontcourt the way it is. Can you imagine putting someone of marginally effective defensive intensity on Pierce, and letting Bowen OWN Ray Allen like a champ?
The Celtics offense would look like ours did during the first 6 minutes of the 3rd quarter.

mason is sucking shit


lol

[jdev82]

is there a clutcher team in this soft ass league? damn all we need is 50 wins, and keep the finals games within 3 at the end. and then its money. i mean damn look at the finals favorites, boston and la. next to no expirience off the bench. almost no clutch shooting(none for the lakers). ill go ahead and count the lakers out right now. kobe and fish. all the expirience they have. thats it. celts have eddie, paul, ray and kg. spurs? roger mason jr, bruce bowen, kurt thomas, tim duncan, manu, tony, finley, how many big shots have they made between them. damn.

I don't think I would be able to follow the game reading these threads. I wouldn't know what the hell to think. lol

[Jmoney]

Am I the only one that felt we got lucky in this win? Bonner needs 23 points. Last 2 and a half minutes we kept having ZERO rotation on KG after the pick n roll and he was getting free shots. Mason clutch 3 along with Bonner somehow getting KG off his feet and then rattles in the free throw line shot. Man even KG busted a 3 after house added one. I kind of got the feeling we got left off the hook on this one and really lucked out on Allen having that ball kind of slip off his hands.

[crc21209]

Bonner just did what he had to do, Celts doubled TD AND TP, if they wouldnt have, they would have got theirs and we still would have won, so either way, a win is a win. Plus, LUCK IS A PART OF THE GAME.

[Manufan909]

And Mason should've got the winning wall.

[m33p0]

Agreed, Bonner should've gotten the love.

[Manufan909]

At least we can agree Tim shouldn't have gotten it.

[duncan228]

Even I think Duncan shouldn't have gotten it. :lol

[Manufan909]

:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow

Duncan had a sublime game, but that's a given. When Bonner scores more than 15 and grabs more than 3 boards, AND hits half of the clutch shots down the stretch, you give him the goddamn wall.

:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow

Duncan had a sublime game, but that's a given. When Bonner scores more than 15 and grabs more than 3 boards, AND hits half of the clutch shots down the stretch, you give him the goddamn wall.

Well if Bonner scores 8 to 10 I'm happy.

If he gets 5 to 8 rebounds I'm happy.

So I agree :lol

[Manufan909]

Hells yeah. I was conservative at saying 3, cuz I thought he had 5. But the red rocket was 2 boards shy of a double double.:depressed

What's Pop thinking playing Bonner only 36 minutes!?!/sarcasm
