[duncan228]

i dont think ive seen any nba commercials with spurs doing something good or winning haha

One of this year's Playoffs commercials. :)

l7ZZI5xCEs4

[Dex]

Vaughn in!?

VAUGHN!?

:smchode:

This is what it's come to.

[Ice009]

"He thought he was back on that moped again" Man that was pretty funny.

[Libri]

Vaughn is in the game

[SpursFan0728]

fucking JV

[45 bank shot]

fuck

[tomtom]

suck... tied now

[Manufan909]

WTF is JV in at PG, when Hill is fine?????

[45 bank shot]

tied up at 72

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs was up 7 and now it's tie again

We can't put them away

[45 bank shot]

waz wrong with this team??

[anjlbitz]

Lol @ the Coyote

[45 bank shot]

Spurs was up 7 and now it's tie again

We can't put them away

have we ever been able to put somebody away at this stage of the game since last week?
obviously a big fat "NO"

[tomtom]

Ooh that was a good one 228. Also lets see what JV can do

[Chomag]

Dammit! We should have traded Hill so he could actually have a chance to learn something!

[Slydragon]

So far Manu's kissing and the Coyote's falling have made me LMAO

[ElNono]

Dammit! We should have traded Hill so he could actually have a chance to learn something!

Chalmers thread! :lol

[Ice009]

Tony is pretty stupid. He's cost us the lead by complaining to the officials and then being silly by drawing the offensive foul. Mental errors from TP.

[45 bank shot]

Rmj

[Dex]

Mason Jr from El Paso!

[Spurs Brazil]

mason Jr 3333333333333333333

[Don Quixote]

it's less than. I'm a math person but I encounter this all the time.

No worries, you aren't the only one.

The mouth opens towards the bigger meal because the crocodile is hungry !

I love the Spurs and I hate the Mavericks and I definitely hope that we are both wrong! I really want our team to win and I'm not going to stop cheering for them in any event ! We've had too many great moments that these guys have given us, in particular Tim Duncan !



:toast

Yeah, those symbols confused me. But as a theologian and philosopher, I must ask the question -- are the Mavs even worth hating at this point? Are they still even in the NBA? I mean ... everyone and their dog (even math geeks!) know that the Mavs suck and the Spurs are better, exponentially so. You should consider changing your name.

Geeky Spur?
Asymtote?
Spur-noza? (Was he a mathematician? I know Descartes was.)

[tomtom]

MASE back to back

[Manufan909]

Mason on fiyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Made me forget JV is playing.

[Ditty]

he's always done spurs games and he's done bad jobs

[boutons_]

Spurs really got nothing this year, nothing.

Going for 3rd straight loss @ATT in late March, 4-6 in Last10.

[45 bank shot]

finally gooden down low

[45 bank shot]

lol at JV

[Manufan909]

Gooden in post=points. who'da thunk it?

[Ice009]

Pop is the problem. He is taking such a lazy approach this season then the team just plays like shit most of the time and not near their potential. Pop's job is to get the team to play to it's potential and I don't think we're anywhere near it. We should be wiping the floor with these guys not taking it down to the wire on our own building.

[cnyc3]

iso gooden dammit

[Dex]

Vaughn out, Mason slides to point.

I'm not sure if that's better or worse. And most people know how I feel about JV.

[Chomag]

Chalmers thread! :lol

Actually no.

I like Hill but Pop pulling him out and not lettign him play is not going to help teach him thru those rookie mistakes is driving me crazy.

[tomtom]

jv out already fin in

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 1 after the 3rd

[Brazil]

ugly ugly

[ElNono]

We're on pace to give up 100+... defense has regressed compared to the last few games...

[45 bank shot]

another pathetic quarter...
whatz wrong with the spurs? can't even put the scrubs away?

[TDMVPDPOY]

Tony is pretty stupid. He's cost us the lead by complaining to the officials and then being silly by drawing the offensive foul. Mental errors from TP.

i thought he was clutch

[Harry Callahan]

Louis Grillo. A POS who should be retired.

[Chomag]

Man, Pop just wont budge from his idea of having Mason at back up PG will he?

[tomtom]

need more mason and tp in the 4th and hopefully gooden down low

[Brazil]

Pop is the problem. He is taking such a lazy approach this season then the team just plays like shit most of the time and not near their potential. Pop's job is to get the team to play to it's potential and I don't think we're anywhere near it. We should be wiping the floor with these guys not taking it down to the wire on our own building.

+1

No excuses for struggling against the warriors no excuses at all.

[45 bank shot]

c'mon letz get a strong 4th quarter n win this

[Solid D]

Luis has tenure. Someone who has a firm connection with the needs of the league...in economic times.
:smokin

[45 bank shot]

+1

No excuses for struggling against the warriors no excuses at all.

pop is drivin me nuts

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Poor Bonner NEVER gets a call.

We actually saw a 4-down for Drew - colour me amazed.

JV did a fine job.

We need this one, so I hope they leave it all out there.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

[Josepatches_]

I hope we win but we seem to be worse after every game.

[45 bank shot]

no gooden? is pop tryin to lose

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[tomtom]

bruceee and 1

[45 bank shot]

bruceee

[Libri]

Bowen to the line

[Manufan909]

Bruce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FromWayDowntown]

It's interesting -- pop plays JV and the Spurs seem to run something resembling an offense, Mason looks comfortable playing off the ball, and the Spurs get a spurt. Then Pop decides that Mason as point seems better, the Spurs offense stagnates, and the Warriors slice the margin.

I'll admit it: I don't get it.

[Chomag]

Don't get me wrong. I have always respected Pop as an elite coach. However I think he has finally lost his marbles.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bruce with the lefty layup!

His quota of those is gone now... 2 per season! :lmao

[tomtom]

that was horrible

[Spursfan092120]

:tu Agreed...play JV more.

[Ice009]

Bowen is awesome.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuk Ime, stupid foul

[45 bank shot]

itz just pathetic and sad
stupid pop

[cnyc3]

fab out and gooden in pleaseeee

[Spurs Brazil]

This one is getting very very dangerous

[Harry Callahan]

F these officials. BS.

[Manufan909]

Hope Pop thinks of a crazy experiment: playing Hill as pg like he did for months.

[Mavs<Spurs]

82 81 Warriors

[tomtom]

maggette getting a taste of his own medecine eheh

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

no gooden? is pop tryin to lose


Don't get me wrong. I have always respected Pop as a elite coach. However I think he has finally lost his marbles.

He's been tinkering ever since Tim went out.

He's trying to work out how to use his bigs in the playoffs, and same with backup PG.

[Chomag]

Tim back in getting minutes. Come on guys lets get this one! We may not have Timmy on the next game.

[45 bank shot]

all the loose ball fouls r on us...

[Death In June]

We just can't beat anyone soundly these days it would seem.

[tomtom]

cant get a call

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

So many bullshit calls tonight.

[45 bank shot]

all the calls r on us.
n itz our home court

[Manufan909]

The Spurs just can't be healthy these days it would seem.

fify

[mVp]

I just feel this will be another heart breaking loss...

[Brazil]

man embarrassing

[Thomas82]

This is not looking good.

[Ice009]

Bowen is awesome.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Mason 9-15 :tu :tu

[WalterBenitez]

Go Spurs Go, we need this one!!!

[Chomag]

cant get a call

Calls usually tend to go for the team that is being aggressive and that something I don't think our guys are being tonight.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and one!!!!!!!

[Thomas82]

I just feel this will be another heart breaking loss...

I hope not. I'm hoping for a Rockets loss along with a W from us tonight.

[bdictjames]

Duncan only 5 shots?

[Manufan909]

Timmy, just another day at the office.

[bdictjames]

Timmy!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nice deliberate move by Timmy there.

[Thomas82]

Unlucky 7 for TD.

[Capt Bringdown]

Seems to me that trusting Hill with the backup PG role from early in the season would've been a better gamble than what we've seen lately from Mason and now Vaughn.

Can't imagine this situation is good for the team's collective confidence/psyche as well.

[bdictjames]

Hill needs to deliver.

[bdictjames]

Turn up the defense, Spurs. Go!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Duncan only 5 shots?

been shooting about 40% from the field the last month.

So, I don't know that we want him to take more shots.

:bang

[boutons_]

Warriors gonna have a burst of energetic crunch time plays while the Spurs fall behind trading baskets.

[Manufan909]

Foul him out, Timmy!!!

[Mavs<Spurs]

87 85 Warriors, not looking promising.

:depressed

[Thomas82]

Come on and tie this game up Tim!!!

[tomtom]

timmeh to the rescue

[Thomas82]

Good job Tim.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD bank

Tie game

[iilluzioN]

lol @ spagettie

[bdictjames]

Duncan is beasting!

[Thomas82]

Good shot Tim, now can we get some stops??

[Spurs Brazil]

Ellis killing us

[gospursgojas]

score?

time?

[Spurs Brazil]

Thomas J!

Tie game

[bdictjames]

been shooting about 40% from the field the last month.

So, I don't know that we want him to take more shots.

:bang

If he's been shooting it this game, why not? We need an inside presence.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Timmy with the clutch free throws !

87-87

[Manufan909]

O foul, get back the lead Spurs!!!

[Thomas82]

Good shot Kurt!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tie at 91, 5:52 to go, Spurs ball

Time out

[Mavs<Spurs]

Tony to Tim, Tim scores 89-89

[iilluzioN]

ugh, we really need this win, GO SPURS!

[Thomas82]

Ellis killing us

We need to put Bown on him.

[bdictjames]

I can't wait for Manu to return.

[Mavs<Spurs]

91-91

[Brazil]

just happy to see a litle of spurs ball on O

[45 bank shot]

I'd rather put hill in just to guard ellis, parker aint doing shit on defence

[bdictjames]

K, crunchtime.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Timmy has 16 points (4-7 FG), 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and a block all in just 18 min of action

[tomtom]

man where has the defense gone

[bdictjames]

Duncan is making use of his minutes. 16 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists in 18 minutes of play.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Spurs ball still 91-91 , Tim 4 of 7 with 16 points and 8 rebounds.

Making his free throws tonight !

[Manufan909]

4 and 6 in 10 mins??? Damn, Gooden can sure get stats. He just needs to learn the plays and team better. Hope he can live off Manu like Fab does. They might not have the same level of chem, but Gooden has a bigger offensive arsenal. And his sneaky layups would be two-handed slams.

[Josepatches_]

So TD played 4 min in the first half and he will play 20 min in the second half.
I can't understand it.

[bdictjames]

man where has the defense gone

Its the Warriors.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That was the turning point. Tim looks serious and TP is rested, we will win this.

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!!!!!!

[Thomas82]

Duncan is making use of his minutes. 16 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists in 18 minutes of play.

Not bad at all.

[024]

duncan getting back in rhythm.

[Manufan909]

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

[Spurs Brazil]

TP and one!!!!!!!!!

[Thomas82]

Good shot TP!!

[bdictjames]

Waiting for a yahoo update..

[Thomas82]

Way to make the free throw Tony!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We simply cannot buy a call right now. Fucking absurd.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tim Duncan!

[Manufan909]

Tim says NOT IN MY HOUSE!!!

[tomtom]

i like this lineup

[Manu-of-steel]

defense!

[Thomas82]

Let's go TD!!!

[RobSM64]

Tim Freakin Duncan.

Hell Yeaa!

[bdictjames]

Good job Timmy!

[Thomas82]

Come on TD, let's get your 10th rebound.

[Spurs Brazil]

Big play Thomas!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim will not let us lose this. He has that look.

[Spursfan092120]

What Timmy just said to the guy when he tried to take the ball away from him

qX157yiJm0w

[bdictjames]

Kt!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD to TP!!!!!!!!

Spurs up 6

[Amuseddaysleeper]

haha Parker to Duncan "That's my boy!"

[Manufan909]

Sean saw that coming a mile away.

[Thomas82]

TD to TP!!

[bdictjames]

Tony J!

[45 bank shot]

TP, Timmy n KT go to work.

[Spursfan092120]

This is what Timmy just told the guy after he blocked his shot and the guy tried to take the ball from him...

qX157yiJm0w

[Brazil]

Happy to see the old guys taking care of the business

[bdictjames]

Good job Spurs.

[Thomas82]

Tim will not let us lose this. He has that look.

That's what we need from him.

[Thomas82]

TP, Timmy n KT go to work.

Loving it!!!

[duncan228]

Duncan is incredible. That was a nice pass.

[Manufan909]

Tim will not let us lose this. He has that look.

So what do you think would have to happen for Hill to be backup PG again, Ruff? Mason impersonating the Human Torch won't help Hills' case.

[Manu-of-steel]

this is the warriors that also put up a fight against the lakers. they are dangerous!

[Thomas82]

Like I said, it would make my night for us to win and the Rockets lose.

[Fundamental]

Beautiful assist. Spurs turning on the heat in the final minutes of the game.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP teardrop

[Thomas82]

Good job TP!!

[Thomas82]

We didn't need to give up that 3!!

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol jax

[Manu-of-steel]

[Spurs Brazil]

TD playing his best game in a while

Great to see

[Manufan909]

Timmy thanking Jackson for 2 free points.

[Thomas82]

Good job TD!!!

[bdictjames]

Cmon Spurs!

[Thomas82]

Spurs up 105-102.

[Spurs Brazil]

Rebs are killing us

[bdictjames]

K Spurs, go get this.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great D by TP

[bdictjames]

Duncan: double double, 20-10, this is nice.

[Thomas82]

Way to go Tim, your 42 double double!!

[cnyc3]

[bdictjames]

What happened?

[tomtom]

[Thomas82]

[bdictjames]

[Thomas82]

[Fundamental]

[Spurs Brazil]

Unbelievable

[tomtom]

[Amuseddaysleeper]

[Summers]

TD playing his best game in a while

Great to see

Good to hear. Wish I had the game tonight.

[bdictjames]

One last chance.

[boutons_]

Tim turns it over, SJax does the dirty deed

[024]

costly turnover by duncan.

[Manu-of-steel]

fuck!

[Manufan909]

Crap. Another game decided by 3 or less. I hope the Spurs don't have anymore Ws like that this season.

[45 bank shot]

another "great" night for the officials

[bdictjames]

This lack of offense at the end is killing us.

[tlongII]

Warriors will have the last shot!

[Capt Bringdown]

Hello, fishing charters?

[bdictjames]

another "great" night for the officials
Why?

[iilluzioN]

OMFG, put gooden and timmy together for FUCK SAKES

[Thomas82]

fuck!

Took the words right out of my mouth.

[Manu-of-steel]

what's the score?

[Horse]

At this point you have to think their doing it on purpose.

[tomtom]

god why the f did he put in udoka, he was scored on right away

[Thomas82]

what's the score?

106-105 Warriors, 30 sec left.

[arodz]

Here we fucking go again

[boutons_]

Spurs consistent! they never want the game as much as the other team

[Slydragon]

here we go

[Slydragon]

$$$$$$$$$$$ Mason

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Roger.Mason.Jr

Boom!

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr J!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bdictjames]

Roger Mason!

[024]

mason!

[arodz]

23.8 left though

[cnyc3]

One frigging stop

[tomtom]

money mase

[Thomas82]

At this point you have to think their doing it on purpose.

I wouldn't think so.

[45 bank shot]

RMJ!!
Now letz get a stop plssssssssssss

[bdictjames]

Another one by Mason!

[Manufan909]

Hope Mason becomes 5-5 on game winners after this.

[Spurs Brazil]

We need a stop now

[Thomas82]

One frigging stop

We desperately need a stop.

[bdictjames]

Duncan solid game, hope to get the win tonight.

[45 bank shot]

plsss get a stop
dun wanna lose

[Bartleby]

Spurs need to win this one with their defense.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

So what do you think would have to happen for Hill to be backup PG again, Ruff? Mason impersonating the Human Torch won't help Hills' case.

I don't know - it seems like the obvious move to everyone but Pop.

He really doesn't trust rookies in the playoffs, especially backup PGs (see Udrih, Beno, 2005) - it's one of his blindspots. I think we're just going to have to accept his bad decision in this case.

As for that last play - jeeeeez, anyone could see that double coming, why did we fall for it???

[Manu-of-steel]

spurs, please get this one!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

$20 says Warriors shoot well before the buzzer

[Thomas82]

We need a stop now

In the worst way.

[45 bank shot]

We desperately need a stop.

dun let this be sunday

[GabeIsGone]

WTf there should be more than 24 secs

[MaNu4Tres]

Duncan has officially aged 20 years in one month.

[superbigtime]

just called phantom foul. die fat walrus

Just another piece of shit demented ref who needs to go.

[Slydragon]

D freaking Fence

[bdictjames]

K Spurs, one stop, one win. That's all there is to it.

[Harry Callahan]

The Spurs are not executing well at all. This game should not be coming down to the last shot.

Stupid errors at crunch time the last four or five games are going to cost this team playoff seeding, I'm afraid.

[Manu-of-steel]

get this W for all of your fans, spurs!

[bdictjames]

Duncan sitting down?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Can we get a stop? They have so many deadeye shooters it's a coin-toss.

[arodz]

5.5 left

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes!

[bdictjames]

Yes!

[Manufan909]

Make those gimmes KT!!!

[tomtom]

cmon we need these freethrows

[Thomas82]

Nice stop, good rebond KT!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Go Thomas!

[bdictjames]

K now what?
