That's been my pet Timmy topic for about 5 years now! Ask 228. :lol

Thankfully, he's mostly gone away from that terrible off-foot right hand in front of the defender's face shot that he got stuffed on a lot the last few years.

:lol I know. I first noticed it when you pointed it out a while back. He really is talented with his left, he should use it more when he needs to.

[sonic21]

timmy nice shot

[TDfan2007]

lol @ anyone trying to guard Tim. Even when Tim takes dumb shots they go in.

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!!!!!!!

...and then immediately he makes one, on a runner no less. he's gone to that bad shot a lot tonight - it accounts for 4 or 5 of his misses.

[dogzofwar]

Damn I miss Bowen...great D on Carter that quarter.

[sonic21]

82-69 spurs end 3rd qtr

[TDfan2007]

:lol I know. I first noticed it when you pointed it out a while back. He really is talented with his left, he should use it more when he needs to.

He saves the left for the playoffs. IDK why, but he always uses his left in the playoffs and very rarely in the regular season.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 82-69 after the 3rd

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:lol I know. I first noticed it when you pointed it out a while back. He really is talented with his left, he should use it more when he needs to.

;)

I can make 2-10ft lefty hooks all freakin day (I'm right-handed), and I've seen Tim do it - he used to do it a lot in his first 6 or 7 seasons - so why he doesn't i don't understand... but then who can comprehend the mind of a genius? :lol

[raspsa]

Start the 4th strong and extinguish all hope..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

True, he does use it more in the playoffs. In fact, he breaks out a number of moves i nthe playoffs that he rarely uses in the regular season. Smart guy. :tu

just give Finley a rest, he needs all the rest he can get..

let's see some Hairston..

[Manufan909]

Why is it that these NBA commercials are showing the Spurs on the bad end with both the CP3 one and now the Kobe one.

Man - it sucks seeing those Spurs uniforms on the losing end!

The CP3 was is especially fucked up, considering Farmer and JV were playing in that one.

Bowen harasses Vince so well..I can't wait until the playoffs..

[cnyc3]

trade him marv!

[Reck]

Get Manu in

[Trainwreck2100]

they are bringing out the tshirt gun in NJ

[Manufan909]

Lol at the announcers dissecting how Manu does his stepback jay.

[ezau]

Bonner is so underrated, But man, he can really shoot.

[HarlemHeat37]

Hairston better be on the floor when the game starts again..

[Crookshanks]

Bowen harasses Vince so well..I can't wait until the playoffs..

Seeing Bowen aggravate Carter is worth the price of admission. Carter is such a cry baby when it comes to Bruce - and Bruce knows it doesn't take much to get under his skin. Pop knows it too - I think the mental aspect is a big part of our defense.

[Jobbs]

In other news: Cavs down 2 with .8 left

[pawe]

just got in. How are the boys so far?

Thanks Miss Cleo.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruce doing a fantastic job on Carter

[raspsa]

Bonner will disappear in the playoffs.
reverse jinx attempt

Bonner will be a force in the playoffs!

[Capt Bringdown]

Not the best lineup IMO.

[Manufan909]

Anyone have a clue how Fin warranted twice(3 mins from being thrice) the PT of Hairston so far??? It's def not his hot hand.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner!!!!!!!!!!

[Manufan909]

Bonner ...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the fell was that shot?

[pawe]

wow, Bonner again

[Manufan909]

TP making something out of nothing.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP nice drive!!

[024]

no alleyoop to bowen?? wtf parker.

[sonic21]

Bonner will be a force in the playoffs!


Thanks Miss Cleo.

:lol i shouldn't have written in white, i thought we could see if someone quoted us

[pawe]

Tony with a nice layup. I swear, he's the best finisher in the NBA right now

[pawe]

HA! Bruce with the floater

[Manufan909]

Bowen DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Put in Hairston Pop, please!!!!

[Reck]

Game.

[HarlemHeat37]

Anyone have a clue how Fin warranted twice(3 mins from being thrice) the PT of Hairston so far??? It's def not his hot hand.

questioning Finley's minutes will just make your head hurt, trust me..

BOWEN SHOWING OFF THE LEFT HAND SCOOP HE'S ADDED THIS YEAR..it's like the 5th time he's done it this season..

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce

Spurs up 99-83

Bruce was the key in the 2nd half

[Crookshanks]

This is just too funny! Bruce is denying Carter ANYTHING and then Bruce comes down and scores - did you see the big grin on his face?

[Pauleta14]

no alleyoop to bowen?? wtf parker.


:lmao

[Manufan909]

Bonner will disappear in the playoffs.

My bad, I couldn't see the white letters.:toast

[raspsa]

Bonner continues to amaze. He's worked hard to diversify his game and the results are showing. Pop must be pleased.

[pawe]

oh man, Bonner is on a roll!!!

[Manufan909]

Wow, Bonner has gone fucking nuts in this game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Timmy's statline: 25 pts 9 rebs 7 asts 4 blks

Apparently, according to Shadowank, he's asleep tonight... :rolleyes


just give Finley a rest, he needs all the rest he can get..

let's see some Hairston..

Damn straight. Finley should play no more than 20mins.


Seeing Bowen aggravate Carter is worth the price of admission. Carter is such a cry baby when it comes to Bruce - and Bruce knows it doesn't take much to get under his skin. Pop knows it too - I think the mental aspect is a big part of our defense.


yup..he does the same with Ray Allen and Carmelo Anthony off the top of my head..he really gets in their heads..

Yup. Bruce is the ultimate cooler.

???


Game.

Thanks for stating the obvious. i'm surprised you didn't chuck a hissy fit and disappear in the 2nd Q because we weren't leading by 45! :lmao

[Crookshanks]

Spurs score over a hundred - another win!

[Manufan909]

Carter riding Timmy, lol.

[dmac]

pull tim now maybe?

[pawe]

Carter with the "people's elbow" on TD.

[Manufan909]

What's the record, 33 straight, with this one?

[Capt Bringdown]

oh man, Bonner is on a roll!!!

The question is, can he keep it up?

Has his NBA career turned a corner? If so, this is huge for this season, obviously - big impact.

[Manufan909]

pull tim now maybe?

+1

I was curious why Pop even put him in.

[Crookshanks]

that was pretty - to bad it didn't fall in

[pawe]

aww! could have been a nice play. Fab is so smart, he plays well with manu.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice pass Oberto

[Manufan909]

Almost an And1, love that play by the Argentines, don't remember seeing that before.

[Death In June]

Dick Bavetta is creepy.

[Manufan909]

Hairston, yay!!! Hopes he ends the season with as many dunks as games played this season.

Posted that before he dunked again, I think he has 5 dunks now, no? Also 5 games, cuz he played 3 secs against the Celts.

[Ice009]

Malik!!!! Nice dunk.

[byrdman31]

good game

[Crookshanks]

Man - Timmy wasn't that far from a triple-double

[byrdman31]

damn it, i predicted a timmy triple double in page one... i was close

[Spurs Brazil]

Lopes is good

[peskypesky]

damn...Carter looks like he's going to cry

[pawe]

Next up Toronto with Chris Bosh watching from the sidelines. Time to rack up the wins and put some space between denver and NO.

[Manufan909]

Fab should've kept the Norris beard.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great win

108-93

[SpursPreacher]

O canada the spurs are coming to spank that ass.

[Crookshanks]

WOW - Bonner had a 5-point play! :lol

[word]

good job spurs....

[Manufan909]

I hope Pop's mancrush on Hairston is half as big as ST's. And props to the Nets for letting me get to see Bonner's 5-point play.:lmao

[anjlbitz]

I was looking the all time blocks list and Timmy is also about to pass Manute Bol

[raspsa]

Matt Bonner earns Play of the Game honors.. how often does that happen?

[Manufan909]

Lopez is a very solid player, he could be the closest thing this generation will see to a Tim, besides Jefferson.

[anakha]

Tim, please wake the fuck up. Is that too much to ask?

You were saying?

[Dex]

Quality win by the Spurs.

Defended well in the second half. Scored well overall.

Nice nights by Timmy, Tony, and Bonner. Special props to Bowen for coming in and co0ling off Carter. Mason looks like he's finally starting to second guess his sho0ting a little bit, but hopefully tonight was just one of the hiccups he's been due for.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 22pts 5rebs (8-10FG, 4-5 3PT)

[ClingingMars]

4-0 IN GAME BLOGS!!! GO SPURS GO!

-Mars

[Fundamental]

Bonner has confidence dripping from his brow.

[Ice009]

I like that Malik drove and took it to the rack again after that dunk. He missed a layup, but that is good to have someone attacking.

Great game Spurs! Bonner brilliant.

[ezau]

Bonner? That guy can play. Go Spurs Go!!!!

[pawe]

WOW - Bonner had a 5-point play! :lol

serious? How did it happen?

[raspsa]

If TD played for another team and was more concerned with personal stats, I've no doubt he would lead the league in scoring if he wanted to. He's just so unselfish and focused on getting his teammates involved. A real leader.

[SpursFan0728]

Great game tonight. Typical Spurs basketball game. Also, good to see Bonner stepping up.

[duncan228]

Can we win and Duncan have a game like this on March 2? :)

[HarlemHeat37]

March 2nd is my birthday, too..a win is a must..it's also against the Clippers, so it should always be a one..

-Brook Lopez is definitely the closest thing to a poor man's Timmy..Al Jefferson isn't IMO, since he's a horrible defender, while Duncan is one of the best of all-time..

[raspsa]

Bonner 22pts 5rebs (8-10FG, 4-5 3PT)

Bonner was making his shots, just like in Boston. I'm surprised though he only got 5 rebounds, he seemed to be pretty active. Next step is to hit a late 3 to win athe game ala mason.:toast

[Crookshanks]

serious? How did it happen?
Bonner got a steal and then was fouled by Harris. They ruled it a clear path foul so Matt got two free throws and the Spurs got the ball back. Timmy passed the ball to Matt and he hit a 3 pointer!

[Josepatches_]

If TD played for another team and was more concerned with personal stats, I've no doubt he would lead the league in scoring if he wanted to. He's just so unselfish and focused on getting his teammates involved. A real leader.


Well,I'm not sure if Kobe and lebron do the same.But I'm sure TD could average near 30ppg if he takes 20+ shots every night like the scoring leaders of the league do (of course with better FG% than them)

[Galileo]

Can we win and Duncan have a game like this on March 2? :)

Hold up a sign that says:

"Tim - the REAL MVP"

You'll get on TV.

[ezau]

Bonner got a steal and then was fouled by Harris. They ruled it a clear path foul so Matt got two free throws and the Spurs got the ball back. Timmy passed the ball to Matt and he hit a 3 pointer!

Wow hahaha. Regardless of what people may say, this is Bonner's breakout season. Imagine if we had him as an option in last year's playoffs.

[pawe]

Bonner got a steal and then was fouled by Harris. They ruled it a clear path foul so Matt got two free throws and the Spurs got the ball back. Timmy passed the ball to Matt and he hit a 3 pointer!

and I was thinking he made a 4point play but the refs awarded him 1 more point for making it look cool :lol

[Manufan909]

Bonner got a steal and then was fouled by Harris. They ruled it a clear path foul so Matt got two free throws and the Spurs got the ball back. Timmy passed the ball to Matt and he hit a 3 pointer!

How a vet like Harris wouldn't know about clear-path fouls is mindblowing. I guess some stuff is forgotten on the court.

I state I'm ok with losing a big that would help TD in the middle, then he goes and sticks his 2 best games of the season right next to each other.:p:

Plus, my wish for Fin to take the biggest hit minutes-wise cuz of Hairston playing came true!!!!:hat

[Budkin]

The turnaround by Bonner from years past to now has beem nothing short of astonishing.

[EricB]

Matt Bonner, you can't stop him.

You can only hope to hold him under 25.

[wildbill2u]

Banked 33333333333333 by Mason

See. The influence of a vet like Duncan extends to shot making and selection. I predict Mason will become a bank shot artist in deference to Timmy.

[duncan228]

Winning wall.

[wildbill2u]

The Celts look under their beds for Bonner before they go to sleep at night.

[duncan228]

Duncan has 25 points, 9 rebs, 8 assists for Spurs (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap?gid=2009021017&prov=ap)


The San Antonio Spurs suddenly have a fifth option.

As if Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Roger Mason weren’t enough, now it’s time to add Matt Bonner.

Bonner scored 13 of his 22 points in the opening 5 minutes of the third quarter to help break the game open and the Spurs posted a 108-93 victory over New Jersey on Tuesday night, beating the Nets for the 13th straight time.

“Matty has been playing great,” said Duncan, who again led San Antonio with 27 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. “He is on a great shooting streak. He is playing great, making the right decisions, and again shot the ball great tonight and really opened up the floor for us.”

[Manufan909]

That was Hairston's putback, right?

[EricB]

:lmao Malik Hairston gets the winning wall, and not Matt Bonner?

No respect I tell ya...

[TampaDude]

Another solid road win by the Spurs...on to Toronto!!! :flag:

[Manufan909]

Anyone know why Manu only shot 6x? Did he not look for his shot, did he look tired, what? I watched it, i was just confused at the end to see Manu playing such a small role in such a solid Spurs win.

[ElNono]

Just came back from the game... Great night by Bonner and Timmy was nails on defense too. We had a great time.

[TMTTRIO]

Anyone know why Manu only shot 6x? Did he not look for his shot, did he look tired, what? I watched it, i was just confused at the end to see Manu playing such a small role in such a solid Spurs win.

I don't know. I didn't get to watch the game but maybe they didn't need any of his scoring.

[EricB]

Manu seemed a bit unagressive.

Just didn't seem like he was "feelin it"

Might've been holding back for tommarow. Back to back and all.

[Yorae]

He will save our ass tommorow.

[ManuTP9]

:lolThe game was great,there were actually quite alot of spurs fans in my area where i sat. Ducan was a beast and Bonner :lol everytime he scored the crowd would boo, not sure if anyone noticed on tv but they were lol. :depressed I didnt get an autograph but i did get george hills attention after the game i yelled "Hill! over here!" lol and he looked but other than that i enjoyed the game. :flag:
