[YODA]

anyone else forsee some D tonight?

[sonic21]

i see tony with a 30-35 pts game

[xellos88330]

Go spurs go!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Knicks are tough to beat when they get hot, since they have so many weapons offensively..

hopefully we see some effort, since we didn't see any vs. the Raptors..

[xtremesteven33]

With all these crazy trade rumors going around, its finally good to see a Spurs game.

[xellos88330]

With all these crazy trade rumors going around, its finally good to see a Spurs game.

+1

My sentiments exactly. I am hoping to see alot of Hairston since Manu is out tonight.

[urunobili]

TP 40+ points :)

[jdev82]

i, nospurdamus, predict that tim duncan will be guarded by david lee, jerred jefferies and tim thomas and have 30 +. that is all.

[Texas_Ranger]

Mike D'Antoni just said that the Knicks need to step up in defense...Wow, just wow!

[duncan228]

Knicks call on LP, pretty complimentary toward the Spurs.

[Jobbs]

I don't mind the MSG guys
should be a good game

[tp2021]

"They're not the best-looking girl in the room, but they always have a date."

Nice.

[Spurs Brazil]

Parker is on pace to beat Kobe's MSG record!

[Spurs Brazil]

[mystargtr34]

George Hill cradles the ball and gets the And 1.

Bit of Starbury/LeBron there.

[Gutter92]

My god Parker is a defensive liability..

[sonic21]

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley J!!

bonner 3333333

[mystargtr34]

[mystargtr34]

Knicks yet to miss a jump shot outside 15 feet tonight.

[Gutter92]

god damnit, im watching nate robinson shoot, and right when he shoots the stream decides to watch some spanish show...wtf

[ElNono]

Our defense sucking again...

[fred33]

My god Parker is a defensive liability..

[raspsa]

David Lee is having a nice game.. good energy guy who plays withihis limitations..

[Gutter92]

Nice rip by Hill, Duncan's nice pass...awesome

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 333333333333333333333333

[Libri]

Bruuuuce!

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice D TD

[mystargtr34]

Better D now.

[Texas_Ranger]

trade Mason!

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN Hill, almost

Game tie at 27 after one

[mystargtr34]

Hill got up there over Thomas and Lee i think. Missed the backhand tip.

[Gutter92]

Hill has a nice vertical, I remember seeing him jump at the end of one of the "Manu is almost ready to play again" practice reports, right before Manu came back from his injury...

[raspsa]

Terrific leaping by Hill at the buzzer.. he almost tipped that ball in with his back to the basket.. He should exploit his athleticism vs the Knicks guards.

[peacemaker885]

Hill looks like he's showing why he should stay...

[HarlemHeat37]

let's get some Malik..

[HarlemHeat37]

way to rotate Finley..

[HarlemHeat37]

our perimeter defenders outside of Bowen are honestly horrible..Tony, Mason, and Finley are all seriously bad on D..

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley 2-7FG

[mystargtr34]

Awesome, i lost my feed.

Fuck.

Back to yahoo.com with box scores that arent working.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 33333333333333333

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 333333333333333333333333

[loveforthegame]

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 33333333333333333333333333333333333333

[Jobbs]

[mystargtr34]

Im sorry Tony Parker is a horrible, horrible defender.

[sonic21]

[raspsa]

Finley building a nice little brick outhouse..

[mystargtr34]

Again Robinson for 3.

[Jobbs]

Bonner can drive now???

(a car)

[sonic21]

Mason J!

[HarlemHeat37]

Nate Robinson is bending us over..

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 222222222222222222

[sonic21]

nice pass tony

[HarlemHeat37]

wow, we can't even grab a rebound when we have 2 guys fighting each other for it..

[mystargtr34]

Did Oberto knock that out of Masons hand with no Knicks player around.

[HarlemHeat37]

this is looking like the same effort vs. Toronto..

[sonic21]

nice move tony

[mystargtr34]

Fantastic finish by TP

[Spurs Brazil]

TP layup

[HarlemHeat37]

can we get Duncan in the fucking game..

[mystargtr34]

TP was fouled TWICE on that drive, with no call.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck another 3

[Reck]

What's with all the rim outs?

Spurs cant buy a jumper.

[Spurs Brazil]

Defense sucks

[raspsa]

Spurs really a different team without Duncan.. no interior defense, lanes wide open a couple of times now.

[sonic21]

nice D spurs
the knicks will score like 60-65 before halftime

[HarlemHeat37]

as long as the game is within 3-5 at the half, I'm fine..we'll beat them in clutch time..just don't let the game get away from us, and our perimeter defenders need to grow some balls..

[dogzofwar]

I want to know why the Spurs this year are satisfied with playing at the other teams pace. That was what made the Spurs so great....the ability to make any team play how they want them to.

[HarlemHeat37]

Bowen taking that shot?! is that our idea of offense?!..

[Spurs Brazil]

Thomas J!

[HarlemHeat37]

I fucking love Bruce Bowen's D..

[HarlemHeat37]

Mason flops..open shot..

[HarlemHeat37]

Kurt's looking good, nice effort from him..all I want to see is effort..

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice job Thomas

[mystargtr34]

These refs suck.

Ill take it though, Harrington another Offensive foul.

[sonic21]

nice effort kurt

[crc21209]

Wow, seen this before, a D'Antoni team shooting lights out right now....not gonna last, Harrington getting frustrated already.

[Pauleta14]

I can't believe we are only down by 5!
We're playing so bad!

[tomtom]

boo

[Spurs Brazil]

2nd on TD

[mystargtr34]

I cant remember the Knicks missing a jumper outside 15 feet. When they go through their cold stretch, the Spurs better capitalise. Such as not giving up Offensive rebounds to Harrington.

Duncan needs the ball a little bit more. Some post ups.

[sonic21]

nice pass timmy

[mystargtr34]

Beautiful Timmy. Patience.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD to Thomas!!

[loveforthegame]

Wow, was that Lee's 5th foul?

[tomtom]

3rd on lee :tu

[Spurs Brazil]

Lee is on fire

[HarlemHeat37]

Ime?!? why?! why must my eyes go through this?!..

[TampaDude]

Bruuuuuce!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Lol he made a shot!!!

[tomtom]

Udoka

[Fundamental]

first three i've seen udoka make this season....

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime 333333333333

[TampaDude]

Ime!!! Holy shit!!!

[Reck]

Ball hug much Parker?

[sonic21]

Ime?!? why?! why must my eyes go through this?!..

he needs to play before the trade deadline

[duncan228]

Damn. Nice shot too.

[Jobbs]

bah

stupid replay

[tomtom]

Duncan baby!

edit: aww stupid replay :lol

[Libri]

Timmmy!!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD at the buzzer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Halftime

Spurs - 58
Knicks - 57

[mystargtr34]

Doesnt count.

Sprus down 1.

Ill take that. Knicks have been on fire all game long. Good position to be in.

[pad300]

Ime?!? why?! why must my eyes go through this?!..

If thy eyes offend thee, Pluck them out!

[Texas_Ranger]

I hipe Tim will shoot at least 5 shots.

[TampaDude]

One-point game at the half...all things considered, not bad...Spurs got this, no worries...

[crc21209]

Pop showcasing Ime for a trade. Lol. Damn Timmy didnt get it off in time! Spurs down 1 at the half. I want a lineup of TP, Mason, Bruce, TD, and Thomas for MOST of the 2nd half. Just a good enough mix of O and D in there.

[Pauleta14]

On a night we really need him, TP doesn't seems to be focused...
Doesn't takes the good decisions, gets mad at the refs instead of stayig cold...
I mean the whole team sucks (no D...) but he TP doesn't step up ...

[45 bank shot]

Tony is cold and so is our D

[Pauleta14]

The goos news is we can only get better and are only trailed by 1 !

[Josepatches_]

TD with only 2 FG attempts in the first half.

We really know how to play.

I'm tired of the fucking pick & roll when you have the best big man of the league.I hope we will put the ball inside in the second half

[cnyc3]

all 85 games... lol

[Fundamental]

Has nothing to do with the game, but the casino and arcade 'Spurs Talk' has added are pretty fun time to waste during time-outs and half-time.

[benefactor]

Thoughts....

Play Finley less. Play Hairston more.

That's all.

[sonic21]

Thoughts....

Play Finley less. Play Hairston more.

That's all.

nice avatar

[BlackSwordsMan]

sons im worried
spurs have no D

[Manufan909]

That av suck. Go McDOnalds!!!:lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Knicks FG-54.5%
TD FGA - 2

That's so wrong

[mystargtr34]

TD with only 2 FG attempts in the first half.

We really know how to play.

I'm tired of the fucking pick & roll when you have the best big man of the league.I hope we will put the ball inside in the second half

Hes definately not getting the ball enough. But every time he puts the ball on the floor they send a second defender. He has 4 assists but also 3 TO. The dumb thing is the entry passes has been either Hill or TP most of the time. Why not stack everyone to one side and let Mase make the entry pass, and if the guy helps its an open 3 for Mase. If they want to help from the other side it will be too late.

Sounds simplei guess.

[benefactor]

nice avatar
BK pwns.

[mystargtr34]

:lmao @ Mike Dantoni's brother.

Didn know he was a coach.

[Texas_Ranger]

Oh c'mon Duncan, dunk this shit!

[Manufan909]

Wow Duncan, don't fucking push people.

[Spurs Brazil]

3rd on TD

[mystargtr34]

Duncan should try a quicker move. Catch and go. Mix it up a bit.

[mystargtr34]

Fuck.

[loveforthegame]

Mason hit those 3s but he's not exactly shooting lights out either.

[mystargtr34]

Bonner for 3.

[TampaDude]

Red Rocket!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 333333333333333333

[Fundamental]

[mystargtr34]

Knicks getting cold.

Spurs have to start scoring.

[iilluzioN]

gosh I wish we had carter................... we playing with no heart -_-

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley!!

[Fundamental]

Knicks aren't missing any of their shots.

[Texas_Ranger]

Duncan this is not the all star game! Show some energy!!

[loveforthegame]

Finley J.

[mystargtr34]

Duncan and Parker are playing like they are mentally impaired.

[loveforthegame]

5 turnovers for Duncan.

[Manufan909]

Damn TP and Bonner, quit with the TOs.

[Fundamental]

play some defense Spurs!!!!!!

[mystargtr34]

So after the Knicks go cold.

The Spurs Turn it over, travel, then step out of bounds.

:lol Wow.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck

Stop with TOs, 3 in a row

[loveforthegame]

Turnovers killing the Spurs right now.

[Manufan909]

Lee with 4 at least.

[Reck]

Tim Duncan is thinking of retiring.

The guy is playing with zero energy and with no heart.

[Spurs Brazil]

4th on Lee

[loveforthegame]

4th foul on Lee.

[mystargtr34]

David Lee stepped forward into Duncan, so its a foul. He didnt stand straight up.

Its subtle but its a foul. Thats Duncans space he stepped into.

[iilluzioN]

Get hill in there!!!!!!

[Libri]

Hill and Bruce back in.

[Fundamental]

and 1 for Timmy!!!

[mystargtr34]

And 1 Duncan.

[crc21209]

AND 1 TIMMMMMMYYYYY! btw....Jeffries looks like a straight up crackhead/crackdealer. lol.

[iilluzioN]

Lets hope Timmy makes the free throw... calm down everyone

[crc21209]

The Knicks shoot more 3's than any fucking team I've ever seen...talk about no balance...schoolyard jack up whatever shot you want basketball.

[jdev82]

cant watch this its not on my tv why is td 2-7?

[Manufan909]

Mike ball.

[Fundamental]

Casino is making me rich!!! Where do I cash in on my winnings?

[Josepatches_]

Sounds simplei guess.


Very Simple and easy

[anakha]

Tim Duncan is thinking of retiring.

The guy is playing with zero energy and with no heart.

Yes, yes, we know. You're a frontrunning douche.

Next?

[iilluzioN]

The Knicks shoot more 3's than any fucking team I've ever seen...talk about no balance...schoolyard jack up whatever shot you want basketball.

[mystargtr34]

[iilluzioN]

[TampaDude]

omfg tony drive that shit in, your not hot today from the outside

+1 Dribble fucking penetrate, Tony!!! :bang

[hitmanyr2k]

Lee doesn't deserve crap fouls like that. At least he's playing with some damn heart. Don't bail Duncan out with that bullshit.

[Fundamental]

These New York announcers are trying to make it sound like Thomas flopped...and gave himself a bloody lip....idiots, i swear.

[iilluzioN]

okay wtf did thomas just do?

[Mugen]

manu's passing game is really underrated. we don't move the ball very well without him.

[TampaDude]

That's it...drive, Tony, drive...

[iilluzioN]

Tony what did i just say dont shoot -_-

[Texas_Ranger]

:madrun@Parker

[loveforthegame]

Finley and Duncan are 5-16.

Mason and Parker are 8-24.

[anjlbitz]

I missed that.. "Let's go let's go let's go"

[mystargtr34]

How the fuck is that an offensive?

[Pauleta14]

WTF!!!!!!
Pop sends Tony to the bench just when he is getting better!!
I just don't get it...

[TampaDude]

Bowened!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruce great D

[Manufan909]

foul on Bruce
:depressed

[iilluzioN]

thats okay about hill... nate robinson is a short mother fucka

[TampaDude]

As bad as we're playing, and without Manu, we're still in this game...we got this...

[Manufan909]

Bruce and KT are the best O players for the Spurs right now, that's just sad.

[loveforthegame]

We get right there but haven't been able to take over yet.

[crc21209]

BS on that Bowen foul. And NO MORE FINLEY! I'm tired of seeing him dribble about 2 or 3 times...and pass it...he NEVER drives..what happened to the Fin who was slammin all over the Mavs in 06'?

[Manufan909]

Where is Hairston?

[DAF86]

Please!!! we can't lose this one. This day can't be so fucked up.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 222222222

[loveforthegame]

Kurt Thomas has been playing real well for us lately.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice pass Bruce

[Spurs Brazil]

Tie at 77 after the 3rd

[crc21209]

Tie Game 77-77 going into the 4th....who wants it? Cmon guys!

[TampaDude]

77-77 at the end of the 3rd...time to get it done, Spurs!!!

[Manufan909]

TP and Duncan have to be hot for at least 1 quarter.

[Mugen]

held them to 20pts that qtr.

[loveforthegame]

Need to get off to a strong start in the 4th.

[crc21209]

TP, Mason, TD, Bruce, and Thomas for the 4th please!

[Fundamental]

We got the lead baby! oh shit, now they do :depressed

[Spurs Brazil]

Thomas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What happened to Clyde Frazier?

[Manufan909]

Fuck Hill.

[Texas_Ranger]

Put Duncan back in the game!

[Manufan909]

When the Big 2 come back in, they better do some serious shit.

[Spurs Brazil]

Put TD in the game

[Texas_Ranger]

It would be better to put Bonner on the bench.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TD!

[ILoveOranges]

This Spurs defense has me pretty bummed out

[crc21209]

You cant fuck with TD Lee! Bye! Bye!

[Spurs Brazil]

5th on Lee

[Pauleta14]

mahhhhhhh

[mystargtr34]

David Lee isnt a very good defender. Duncan may be 2-7 but thats got 0 to do with Lee.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

LOL that was clearly a foul, what the hell is Gus talking about? he hit his elbow..

Yeah, smacked his elbow on the way up, clearly. The guy said "I could be wrong", but I doubt he admits it.

[smrattler]

Looking like the Toronto game all over again... we can't separate ourselves from them and they are thriving with their home court.

[raspsa]

LOL that was clearly a foul, what the hell is Gus talking about? he hit his elbow..

He was quiet after the replay so he knows Lee fouled Duncan. Spurs should keep feeding Duncan the ball inside.

[smrattler]

TD and TP having an inexcuseably bad game.
