Game Blog - Spurs @ Knicks - Feb. 17

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

"According to the official" - what a douchebag. he saw it as clearly as we did, he just won't admit it.

I fucking hate people like that.

[smrattler]

First little man Robinson strips the ball from Tim's hand, now he outleaps him for the rebound. Box his little ass out!!

[Fundamental]

Timmy is the man!

[Spurs Brazil]

Pathetic

[mystargtr34]

Yea Mase

[fiona_yin]

we got the lead
mason!!!!!!!

[crc21209]

Roger fucking mason!

[TampaDude]

Mason for the lead!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 22222222222222222222222222222

[crc21209]

Why is Finley in there? Please get him out Pop!

[benefactor]

Dantoni to himself...."Dammit, not again."

[crc21209]

TP, Mason, Bruce, TD, and KT. Cmon Pop do it! Get Finley out!

[Manu-of-steel]

time for tim to tear this knicks up into pieces

[smrattler]

I bet D'Antoni is drooling and passing Pop a note right now: "Name the player(s) you want from my team... I want Mason!"

[Josepatches_]

Basketball is easy when you pass the ball to TD.
I can't understand why we didn't do it in the first half.

[Chomag]

haha - Pop Laying into Timmy on that time out. Thats the thing I like about Pop the most. No babying from him.

[Manufan909]

We'll take Lee, Nate, and Thomas, sonds fair. S&T Horry to make it work.:lmao

[smrattler]

Finley with yet another confident looking shot that doesn't go in.

[Manu-of-steel]

knicks have no legit big man to guard tim right now. tim should take over now

[iilluzioN]

wow, tony is not an all star

[smrattler]

Tony missing that layup???

I'm calling the outcome right now...

[Spurs Brazil]

Great move TD

[iilluzioN]

Go go timmy!!!

[TampaDude]

TD with the denial!!!

[fiona_yin]

Timmt!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ice009]

Fucking Nate Robinson.

[ElNono]

Finley got real nice tickets to the game... damn, I need to get me some of those...

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!!!!!!!!!!

[Texas_Ranger]

great foul

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What a load of shit. Duncan was standing there and Nate jumped into him.

[Fundamental]

Bruce!!!

[mystargtr34]

Oh my fucking goodness.

That might be the worst call i have ever seen. These commentators are fuckin rubish. Every foul they have whinged about has been a legit foul on Duncan.

Now Nate gets a call when Duncan jumps out of his way.

Fuck.

[Sigz]

Wow are we seriously losing to the fucking Knicks?

[loveforthegame]

Bowen having a nice game too. Him and Thomas have been huge tonight.

[mystargtr34]

These refs are horrible.

Crowd is getting to them.

[Ice009]

Who the fuck is guarding Robinson it's not Parker is it?

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 2222222222222222222222

[Texas_Ranger]

Nate owns Parker!

[TampaDude]

This shit has double OT written all over it...

[jdev82]

tim duncan struggles all game,but in the fourth he gets his chance for the 20-10er. and more importantly the win lets go tim.

all possesions to run thru tim!

[Trainwreck2100]

fuck these zebras

[Quiet Strength]

Finley is the mvp for the knicks...

[Manu-of-steel]

fuck! rebound the ball!

[Ice009]

WTF has happened to Parker on defense. I called him out earlier in the season, but I thought by now he would crank it up on that end of the court.

I know Parker can play good D when he focuses on it.

[TampaDude]

I can't believe how badly TP is playing tonight...get well soon, Manu...please...

[loveforthegame]

I can't believe I'm nervous for a game against the Knicks.

[Spurs Brazil]

First Ukic and now Robinson

Shit

[Manu-of-steel]

spurs are defenseless. nate is having a good time right now

[Mal]

Mike D , got This thing.

I hate his Suns, still hate Nash, Amare, Barbosa etc.

Now I can`t stand this dwarf Nate, Harrington, Duhon etc.

This guy knows how make me hate his teams

[TampaDude]

Yet another dub-dub for Timmy...hopefully the Spurs will actually win this game...

[Josepatches_]

tim duncan struggles all game,but in the fourth he gets his chance for the 20-10er. and more importantly the win lets go tim.

all possesions to run thru tim!

He struggles because he didn't touch the ball in the low post.It wasn't his fault.He only shooted 2 times in the first half
Now he can score but it could be late.

[PeterBurns]

Ugly ugly game

[Spurs Brazil]

Stop with those weak Js

Pass to TD

[Texas_Ranger]

give the fucking ball to duncan!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Get it to duncan!!!!

[Fundamental]

Bonner is clutch.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TampaDude]

Bonner!!!

[loveforthegame]

Big shot by Bonner.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fuck Tony, get a better angle than that when feeding the post.

[loveforthegame]

Bad turnover by Duncan.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Bonner with a horrible, late rotation..

where's the fucking D?! wow..

[PeterBurns]

David Lee is white? Who knew?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yet another phantom fucking call.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck all ball

[ElNono]

Why Finley now?

[HarlemHeat37]

great, Finley is back on..

Finley made a buzzer beater against the Knicks last season(or was it the year before?), maybe he has it in him now..

[Texas_Ranger]

Finley in...oh man!

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fiona_yin]

timmy!!!!!!

[Texas_Ranger]

Parker don't shot it

[ILoveOranges]

:lol

[HarlemHeat37]

Matt should have stepped in and took a charge there, he had forever..

[DAF86]

No threes

[ElNono]

Money Mason The Closer?

[Spurs Brazil]

6th on Lee

Stupid Knicks :lol

[magui86770]

Another tight game against a sub 500 team...sigh...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

WTF? You wait until 3.1secs to attack the rim??? You go at 6-7 and force the foul.

[HarlemHeat37]

give it to Duncan, please..

[Texas_Ranger]

Give the ball to Duncan...just not to Parker.

[Trainwreck2100]

God the knicks are fucking stupid, if your gonna foul the guy why use the guy with 5 fouls?

[Spurs Brazil]

That was a terrible D on Robinson

[SpursPreacher]

lee fouled out

[Trainwreck2100]

That was a terrible D on Robinson

they were working to not give up the 3

[Chris]

These referees are garbage.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan in the post, or Mason off a screen..hopefully..

[mystargtr34]

Parker didnt know the Knicks had a foul to give.

Otherwise he would have gone earlier.

[Mal]

Money Mason time :)

[Manufan909]

Come on Mason!!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

I hope it's not a shot for Finley.

[TampaDude]

3.1 left, guys...let's win this thing!!!

[ElNono]

Ot

[magui86770]

Crap...decent look though
.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Texas_Ranger]

:(

[Manufan909]

Power that shit to Timmy all OT.

[HarlemHeat37]

fuck..that looked like it was going in..

[mystargtr34]

Fuck .

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

No-one but Tim should be first choice on offense from here. Feed the bigman.

[TampaDude]

Hah...told y'all this shit was going to OT...Lee is gone...it's TIMMY TIME!!! :toast

[Ice009]

FUCK IT. WHY can't we ever get it to Mason??????????????????

Run a play to get Mason the ball. FUCK.

I'll take that shot from Tim though.

[ILoveOranges]

Man. and Duncan was on a roll.

[loveforthegame]

Too bad it wasn't Robinson that fouled out instead.

I don't know if we have enough for OT tonight.

[ElNono]

He had a good look... Now, if we could play some D on Robinson...

[HarlemHeat37]

was that Tim's first miss in the 4th?..

[mystargtr34]

Does anyone else have this douche feed-host talking in the background?

[Texas_Ranger]

Fucking Clippers can win those Knicks and we've got so many problems with them...oh boy...

[Josepatches_]

no-one but tim should be first choice on offense from here. Feed the bigman.


+1

[TampaDude]

Power that shit to Timmy all OT.

^ this

[Spurs Brazil]

Does anyone else have this douche feed-host talking in the background?

Yep

[mystargtr34]

Yep
LMAO i wanted to hear him if the last shot went in.

[HarlemHeat37]

Tony better get going..

[tomtom]

just joined in, wtf is going on?!!!

[Texas_Ranger]

Nate Robinson owns us!

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes FInley!

[raspsa]

Good defense by Bonner.. and gets the rebound too

[Manu-of-steel]

go spurs

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn tp

[Texas_Ranger]

:lol

[HarlemHeat37]

wow, come on..

[tomtom]

ffffffuuuuu

[HarlemHeat37]

so much for the Rodeo Trip helping us..

[loveforthegame]

Pitiful.

[tony09manu]

Tony Parker. :(

[Spurs Brazil]

Parker with the worst game of the season by far

[Texas_Ranger]

Parker sucks tonight!

[Ice009]

I've had enough.

TP getting his ass lit up again by another PG.

[Mal]

Fuck this dwarf Robinson...I can`t stand this guy...

Parker sucks today. Game over

[tomtom]

jesus...

[TampaDude]

Damn...so many missed shots tonight...Spurs can't win shooting like this, no matter who they're playing...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Terrible OT. They've got no-one over 6'9" on the floor and we don't go to Tim very play???

Nate Robinson has been unconscious though - can't miss.

[loveforthegame]

Thank God Parker keeps shooting jumpers.

[SAtown]

game

[mystargtr34]

Im not gonna say anything about Tony now. I might get banned.

Except choke.

[Texas_Ranger]

game over!...Fuck you Tony Parker!!

[Spurs Brazil]

This is PATHETIC

[Manu-of-steel]

who's in charge of nate? what, no defense?

[ElNono]

Don't blame Tony... he's probably tired from the All-Star game

:rolleyes

[Ice009]

I've been saying it a lot this season that TP's D sucks.

[George Gervin's Afro]

lay up drill in ot

[Quiet Strength]

ugh parker is playing awful.

[tomtom]

mason save us..

[Chris]

It's not over yet don't give up.

[raspsa]

Eerily familiar to the Toronto game.. Spurs playing soft, Robinson doing what Roko did to the Spurs..

[loveforthegame]

You know it's a bad OT when only Finley has been able to hit a shot.

[Manu-of-steel]

parker sucks!

[IronMexican]

Parker for Durant

[dougp]

Parker is making some seriously SHITTY decisions. You have a low FG % and YOU'RE TAKING THE SHOTS? Yah, ignore those guys named Bonner & Mason ...

[Ice009]

TP needs to be called out for his defense. By the team and by Pop. How the fuck is Pop supposed to get the new guys to buy into defense when Parker is supposed to lead and has set a piss poor example most of the season on that end???????

That bullshit french article where TP said he is a top 3 defender at PG. Was he high?

[Spurs Brazil]

Worst than Parker is our defense.

[TampaDude]

TP 5/19 so far...that's just plain awful...this is a loss...

[ElNono]

Seriously, it's no just Tony... Finley has no business playing so many minutes when he's struggling like that. I don't care if he made one layup in OT, he's been terrible for a long while now.

[tomtom]

holy shit how does nate have 10 rebounds.

[manustarting2gd]

I've had enough.

TP getting his ass lit up again by another PG.

+1


LOL Parker and his ghost D:bang:bang:bang:bang

[Texas_Ranger]

choke

[Crookshanks]

I cannot believe a 5 foot guy is tearing us up! Parker is so awful tonight - Pop should've played Hill instead.

[Quiet Strength]

damn it parker

[fiona_yin]

gino,i miss u

[manustarting2gd]

now blocked

[cnyc3]

wow tony

[Spurs Brazil]

Wtf tp

[Ice009]

TONY you fucking idiot.

[Texas_Ranger]

:madrun Parker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Reck]

So Spurs are well more then rested. What's the excuse now?

Loss to Raptors and Knicks took them to overtime and probably going to win.

Spurs are finish.

[Quiet Strength]

Thats why mason should of tried for the game winner... damn it

[Libri]

Mason with a 2.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 22222222222

[HarlemHeat37]

we have 3 deep 2s in clutch time..watch the line..

[Texas_Ranger]

we will have a 3.5 sec if the Knicks miss the last shot

[TampaDude]

So Spurs are well more then rested. What's the excuse now?

Loss to Raptors and Knicks took them to overtime and probably going to win.

Spurs are finish.

No Manu = No :lobt:

[Crookshanks]

we shouldn't have taken the All-Star break - these guys are sooooo rusty and no Manu. This game should've been a blow out - instead the Spurs just blow!

[Ice009]

Mason is AWESOME!

[ElNono]

Duncan the only Spur with double figure rebounds... second closest Bonner with 7...

[Spurminator]

fuck parker fuck fuck parker parker fuck fuck fuckity fuck parker fuck

[braeden0613]

no kidding we need to stop stepping on the line...look for an ny turnover here

[manustarting2gd]

Hmm do we need another BIG?

[raspsa]

Mason with a foot on the line, earlier Bowenalso had a foot on the line.. should have been 3 pointers.

[Budkin]

WTF was that? Game.

[fiona_yin]

we need D

[Spurs Brazil]

Bs

[Texas_Ranger]

that was stupid

[Quiet Strength]

lol well thats shocking

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

So Spurs are well more then rested. What's the excuse now?

Loss to Raptors and Knicks took them to overtime and probably going to win.

Spurs are finish.

Good. You can fuck off somewhere else with your endless negativity then.

[Budkin]

at least he missed one.

[Quiet Strength]

Hopefully the spurs can get a 3 here

[Josepatches_]

Foul is a good decision.You can't expect the miss with only 3 seconds down by 3.

[Texas_Ranger]

we need a 3... I hope Tony shoots it

[tomtom]

cmon mase we need your clutchy greatness

[Chris]

Nice screwjob by the Refs. Just cause they lost 6 in a row and Whoopi Goldberg is there doesn't mean they deserve the win.

[loveforthegame]

Finley will probably come back in and pass up the shot.

[Quiet Strength]

lol ah that was awful

[Texas_Ranger]

:lol

[arial]

Bad game night everyone

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF was that

[tomtom]

wtf

[Josepatches_]

What a great timeout Pop!!

[bbarry]

So Spurs are well more then rested. What's the excuse now?

Loss to Raptors and Knicks took them to overtime and probably going to win.

Spurs are finish.

It's just 1 FUCKIN GAME. Houston Dallas and NO are not playing too well either so they aren't really gaining ground on us. BTW, this is a rare loss to sub 500 teams .

[Texas_Ranger]

that was funny..hahahaa

[loveforthegame]

That was the plan? A 3 from Duncan?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

WTF was that??? Tim for 3, huh? Nice one Pop, I guess it was unexpected even if it had a low percentage chance of success.

[Manu-of-steel]

timmy for 3? what was that?

[Crookshanks]

LOSS!!!!!!! Spurs suck big time tonight!!!!!

[Chris]

Finley will probably come back in and pass up the shot.

He will dribble into a double team and shoot a fade-away.

[Texas_Ranger]

Thank you Tony Parker for this lost game!

[Ice009]

I'm happy with Tim taking that shot.

If no one else has the balls to shoot it and pass it to Tim then Tim will take the shot.

FUCK THE REST OF YA'LL.

[tomtom]

goddamn

[ElNono]

Well, back to back loses to Toronto and the Knicks... I don't know what Pop needs to do to get them to play some D...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Poor loss, but you can give credit to Nate Robinson who was unstoppable at the end.

[Borosai]

These guys need some work.

[Manu-of-steel]

omg

[foodie2]

Well, back to back loses to Toronto and the Knicks... I don't know what Pop needs to do to get them to play some D...

Start Bowen again?

[xellos88330]

Spurs are showing why they need an athletic big. Nate Robinson of all people running a layup drill. Tim Thomas was driving on Kurt Thomas like KT was nailed to the floor. Talk about pathetic. I have faith in the Spurs getting the job done, but their defense has a huge 7ft hole next to Duncan that needs to be filled.

[Crookshanks]

did anyone else find these announcers annoying? I got so sick of them calling Nate "the champ". It was stupid rigged slam-dunk contest - does he get a ring for that?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It's just 1 FUCKIN GAME. Houston Dallas and NO are not playing too well either so they aren't really gaining ground on us. BTW, this is a rare loss to sub 500 teams .

Milwaukee
Phili
Raps
Knicks

The rest of our losses have been against quality opposition... and Phili ain't that bad.

[timtonymanu]

well we start our second half push with a lost. kinda expected the loss though cause we play bad without Manu. Hopefully he's good for the next games. We cant afford to lose at this point. Denver's now ahead of us in the standings.

[Ice009]

Poor loss, but you can give credit to Nate Robinson who was unstoppable at the end.

How come PG's are unstoppable in the 4th quarter?

TP really needs to take a look at himself in the mirror. Although the stats show otherwise as Timvp will probably try to pull out again TP has been torched in the 4th quarter multiple times this season.

It's not because of skill either. It's lack off effort.

NO FUCKING WAY is Tony to play on the national team again if he's going to be this sluggish in the regular season for the Spurs.

lol Does NO want to cut more payroll? How about TP for CP straight up right now.

[Man In Black]

Too many missed layups and too damned predictable without the wild card that is Ginobili. How 5'8" guy can get 10 rebounds against the Spurs is unreal. :bang

[Budkin]

Back to back losses to shit teams... we need that trade!

[Fundamental]

Can't win them all. Still second place in the conference, with a lot of room to improve. just like every year, we have to re-learn how to win again. I miss Manu :depressed

[TampaDude]

It's painfully obvious that we need Manu to contend for a title...TP did not step up tonight...he shot 25% from the field (5/20)...that's just PATHETIC...had TP just made a couple more of those, the Spurs win in regulation.

Face it, folks...NO MANU = NO :lobt:

[boutons_]

No Manu, No Tony, No W.

RRT is looking pretty weak.

[Spurs Brazil]

Well, back to back loses to Toronto and the Knicks... I don't know what Pop needs to do to get them to play some D...

It starts with Pop put Bowen in the starting 5

[mVp]

How come PG's are unstoppable in the 4th quarter?

TP really needs to take a look at himself in the mirror. Although the stats show otherwise as Timvp will probably try to pull out again TP has been torched in the 4th quarter multiple times this season.

+1

WTF is wrong with Parker????

[crc21209]

Well damn it, shit happens, next!

[Manu-of-steel]

there's something good that will come out of this 2 losses to rastern teams with losing record. we have to go back to the basics- good defense. we're not gonna win in a shoot out with other teams.

[benefactor]

Props to TP for stepping up and sucking in Manu's absence. :toast

[ElNono]

well we start our second half push with a lost. kinda expected the loss though cause we play bad without Manu. Hopefully he's good for the next games. We cant afford to lose at this point. Denver's now ahead of us in the standings.

Manu had little to do with this loss. I doubt our defense would have improved so much with him on the floor. I can give a pass to Mason and Hill, considering they're newcomers, but Parker and Bonner have no excuse. They've been long enough to get lit up like that.

[Mugen]

second straight game where the opposing pg goes nuts on us.

This loss is pretty much on TP, hopefully he bounces back for the rest of trip.

Get healthy Manu. Go Spurs.

[SenorSpur]

It's painfully obvious that we need Manu to contend for a title...

True, but they shouldn't have needed Manu to beat the Knicks.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Can't win them all. Still second place in the conference, with a lot of room to improve. just like every year, we have to re-learn how to win again. I miss Manu :depressed

:nope

Nuggets are now 2nd :toast

[ManuTP9]

damn that is all i have to say about this game, timmy had a beast game though, and fuck nate robinson small bastard

[mVp]

Face it, folks...NO MANU = NO :lobt:

True... lol @ those who wanna trade him, we can't even beat the fucking knicks without him... pathetic.

[spursfan09]

:nope

Nuggets are now 2nd :toast

well enjoy that for a couple of days

[Fundamental]

:nope

Nuggets are now 2nd :toast

touche

[Texas_Ranger]

We defeated this team without Tony and Manu this season....It's just pathetic....We should be able to win the Knicks without Manu.

[Ice009]

We defeated this team without Tony and Manu this season....It's just pathetic....We should be able to win the Knicks without Manu.

Yeah, but having TP out there tonight had a negative effect. It probably would have been better had TP not played he was that awful.

[alchemist]

The loss just puts more pressure on Ginobili to return earlier.

Wasted games by Manu against the Raps and now wasted game by Duncan against the fuckin' Knicks.

:pctoss

[SenorSpur]

Back to back losses to shit teams... we need that trade!

I smell it comin'

[024]

just saw the score. didn't watch the game due to class. things that stand out when i see the box score is:

duncan: 7 TO
Parker: 5-20 FG
KT: 6-7 FG !

sigh.. loss to the knicks is demoralizing. duncan had a great game statistically but turned the ball over too much. mason didn't shoot at a high percentage spurs needed him to in order to compensate for parker and ginobili. with ginobili out, parker needed to play at full strength to help duncan out. but that didn't happen. george hill also seemed largely invisible.

[Texas_Ranger]

Now Denver is the second best team in the west...Oh man, oh man....Toronto and Knicks are two easy teams, and we screw it up...just pathetic!

[justinandimcool]

Yeah, bad marks all around...makes me optimistic in thinking the Spurs just had an overall off night shooting and moving. But the defense was SO bad. Ball rotation, inside help, NATE ROBINSON getting in the lane and making plays. I don't think the Spurs wanted this one badly at all and are still in cruise control against bad teams. Some semi-positive thinking, but it looked awful out there. Manu would've saved the game, but the demeanor from everyone else is horrific.

[raspsa]

We definitely could have used manu in the last 3.1 seconds of regulation.. drive to the baket and draw a foul at least.. TD shooting a contested bank shot maybe not the best play in that situation..

[Ice009]

Where is Timvp and Kori? They drop some lines in the Manu thread and then take off.

[HarlemHeat37]

we could have used Manu, obviously..nothing to do with the last shot, it was a good look for Duncan..

having Manu would have made our D better, and gave us another option, since Tony was so horrible..

[timvp]

No Manu, No Tony, No W.

[SenorSpur]

We definitely could have used manu in the last 3.1 seconds of regulation.. drive to the baket and draw a foul at least.. TD shooting a contested bank shot maybe not the best play in that situation..

Shit, Manu couldn't come thru on his last-shot opportunity versus the Raptors. Don't know if his ankle was troubling him then or not. They should've lined up Mason for a three in both games. At this point, I'd rather he take the last shot in those situations.

[ducks]

no duncan no tony no manu=lose

[KaiRMD1]

Simply put, Nate Robinson killed us tonight. Duncan was definitely the player to keep us in the game for a while but in the end, Nate was too late, dude was on fire tonight.

[cabass88]

yah im still finley didnt hit that shot he had vs the raptors
