Spurs vs Clippers Mar. 27 - Game Thread

[Dr. Gonzo]

I've always wanted to start one of these.

:flag:

[mardigan]

Well done.

Spurs 95
Clips-87

[duncan228]

I like it when the Spurs play the Clippers. :)

[Mugen]

I like it when the Spurs play the Clippers. :)

me 2. i dont have it to watch on the computer with LP broadband.

[HarlemHeat37]

Clippers are playing a little better since their team is healthy, but we should still win by double digits IMO..

[Borosai]

Bonner will score 28.

[Texas_Ranger]

Lets SPAM them!

[Manufan909]

I hope the Spurs get a 20+ lead by the third, so Hill and Gooden can play all/most of the 4th. I bet JV will be active, but play Hill at PG Pop!!!! Idk who the other 3 should be, cuz Hairston is gone he can't, so Bowen, Ime, and whoever of KT and Bonner that played better.

[alchemist]

anything less than a 20-pt win would be a huge disappointment.

[DPG21920]

It will be interesting to see how Gooden/Bonner handle Randolph/Kaman

[Pentagruel]

My guess is a 10-12 point victory if everyone plays focused basketball. The Clippers are a bit better now that they are healthy.

[Pauleta14]

I'm wondering how TP will adjust his game with Manu back in the rotation...
It will mean he will have less the ball in his hand (less confidence?)
They will probably need a few gaes to adjust to each other...
Let's not be too hard on them at the beginning!

[duncan228]

The last time Manu Ginobili was in uniform at the AT&T Center on Jan. 31. He scored 22 points in a 106-93 victory over the New Orleans Hornets.

[Scola]

I'm sooo glad to have Manu back, after the Boston & Houston loss it was just too much :(
Hopefully we take an early lead and see Gooden & Hill play

[Spursmania]

Bonner will score 28.


Totally agree. For the most part, Bonner only excels when we play poor teams. (Boston in Boston being the exception).:lol:lol

[Spursmania]

You guys have fun. I'll check in later when I get home after the game. Go Spurs Go!

[yavozerb]

Bench Duncan again..its the freakin clippers..

[TMTTRIO]

I'm wondering how TP will adjust his game with Manu back in the rotation...

Let's not be too hard on them at the beginning!

I wouldn't worry about it right now. Manu said he wasn't going to do much this week.

[xtremesteven33]

I wanna see Ginobili and Gooden play together off the bench


see how they do with each other

[Bukefal]

TP will be on fire again, and we will kick their asses. Hopefully Manu can play a bit more this time!!

[Chris]

Lets get a 20 point lead early so Timmy and Parker can ride the bench in the 2nd. We want this bench to get in playoff for starting tonight!

[Chris]

I hope the Spurs get a 20+ lead by the third, so Hill and Gooden can play all/most of the 4th. I bet JV will be active, but play Hill at PG Pop!!!! Idk who the other 3 should be, cuz Hairston is gone he can't, so Bowen, Ime, and whoever of KT and Bonner that played better.

oops didn't see this :downspin:

[Trainwreck2100]

me 2. i dont have it to watch on the computer with LP broadband.

LMAO @ LP broadband

[Jobbs]

LMAO @ LP broadband

don't laugh man

LP BB is dope. All the games are in a highbit rate. Waaaaaaaaaay higher than the shitty Crapcast feed sent to my TV. I watch the games on my TV via the web browser on my ps3. It's nice.

[de Soto]

Most interesting thing is Manu. Will he score double digits? He better...

[Spurs Brazil]

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 3333333333333333333

[Spurs Brazil]

TD J

SPurs up 7-4

[Spurs Brazil]

TD again, 6pts already

[duncan228]

Duncan starting well.

Camby down. :(

[Jobbs]

B Davis got the flu. He posted that on his Twitter this morning.

What's this I hear about Kobe getting injured tonight

[LockBeard]

This is ridiculous.

I feel bad for the Clips.

[Libri]

His knee twisted awkwardly.

[duncan228]

I didn't see it but they say Kobe is okay.

[BruceBowenFan]

I cringed when i saw marcus camby twisted like that. Hope it isnt anything to bad.

[Crookshanks]

That was really ugly looking. Did you see how quickly Timmy's expression changed from happy to concerned?

[duncan228]

Duncan the ultimate sportsman. Class act.

[timtonymanu]

damn the Clippers are more unlucky than anyone.

Get well Camby.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP teardrop

Spurs up 11-8

[Spurs Brazil]

TP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spurs up 16-8

[sonic21]

tony nice move

[Libri]

Parker driving at will.

[duncan228]

:lol Looks like no one is near Parker. He just goes.

[Trainwreck2100]

hopefully Camby didn't tear any ligaments

[sonic21]

it's too easy for tony

[duncan228]

Duncan with the bank. :)

[Libri]

Manu in

[HarlemHeat37]

Mike Taylor is quick as hell, and Tony's still playing around with him..

Duncan looking solid for the 2nd straight game in a row..if he keeps this up for the rest of the game, can't help but feel optimistic...

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu in

[HarlemHeat37]

Clippers interior D is atrocious LOL..there's nobody switching on anybody, Tony's getting a free pass to the rim every time..

[Libri]

Even Bonner is driving

[Chieflion]

Clippers interior D is atrocious LOL..there's nobody switching on anybody, Tony's getting a free pass to the rim every time..
Look, they want more lottery balls, so I say they are doing a pretty good job.

[024]

parker demolishing the clippers.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP 11pts 2asts already

[RobSM64]

looks like we wont be seeing george at PG....again....

[Libri]

Yes, Manu shot

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuu J

[vander]

hmm, 150 tonight?

[Spurs Brazil]

Thomas from Manuuuuuuuu

Spurs up 31-16

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Manu playing GREAT so far

[timtonymanu]

Yes Hill is playing.

[Spurs Brazil]

Let's hope the bench can keep it and Pop can limit TD and TP minutes

[will_spurs]

Hopefully guys like Hill and Gooden will see good minutes tonight, but it's more like practice than a real game.

[Dro210]

Manu!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu layup

[Libri]

what a pass by Manu

[Spurs Brazil]

Thomas from Manu

Manu playing much better than Atlanta game

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill 2222222222

Spurs up 37-19

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr!!!!!!!!!

Spurs up 39-19 after one

[will_spurs]

39 points in one quarter... is this a night for records?

[Chieflion]

Clippers should just surrender this game to save some face.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs 77% FG

Clippers 37% FG

[Dro210]

Haha, how did they give him a 3 for that?

40-19

[Dex]

Spurs come out like gangbusters. :smokin

Now can they maintain the distance for once?

[Crookshanks]

Haha, how did they give him a 3 for that?

40-19
Yeah - and they didn't even go back to check! But somehow I don't think that extra point is going to be the difference in the game! :lol

[Crookshanks]

Awww - they went back and changed it. 39-19

[Libri]

Manuuuuu 3!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Manu tres!!!!

[Mal]

OMG, complete damage

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Crookshanks]

He's baaaaaaaack! :downspin:

[timtonymanu]

Manu again!!!!!!!!

[Death In June]

Pathetic D, but I'm overjoyed with how manu is looking.

[Dro210]

Yeah - and they didn't even go back to check! But somehow I don't think that extra point is going to be the difference in the game! :lol

lol... yea, me either

I love when the Spurs dominate like this. I don't care if it's the Clippers

[de Soto]

I guess Manu is back. 10 pts in 7 minutes. :-)

[Crookshanks]

Tim and Tony have got to be lovin this. The bench is tearing it up and they get to just sit back and enjoy it!

[Trainwreck2100]

"fans here on the field"???

[MaNuMaNiAc]

10 points in 7 minutes :lmao

is there a more efficient player in this league??

[RobSM64]

j.v in

[mVp]

I think Manu is looking like he's just fine :downspin:

The Clippers are terrible thought.

[Libri]

Vaughn getting some early minutes

[Death In June]

This lineup is retarded, but whatever, it's the clippers...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu looks solid so far :hungry:

[Ice009]

Hmm Vaughn is playing, but Gooden is not????? Why?

[Chieflion]

What is the point of this game again?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Timmy!!!

[AussieFanKurt]

gahhhh why is JV playing

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice pass J.V.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Why no Gooden?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

lol Vaughn :(

[45 bank shot]

just got here, whaz up with gooden?
how come everyone played except him?

[timtonymanu]

the rebounding needs work.

[AussieFanKurt]

get off vaughn

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice Lay up Hill!

[Libri]

Hill doing a TP

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 33333333333333333

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

the rebounding needs work.

I thought that was what Gooden was for, apparently he is in the dog house already :(


Bonner 3333333333

[45 bank shot]

I thought that was what Gooden was for, apparently he is in the dog house already :(


Bonner 3333333333

what did gooden do?
pissin off pop

[justinandimcool]

Is it true what the Clippers announcers are saying about Duncan holding players only practices in August?

Such a fun team to listen to, btw.

[Ice009]

When the fuck is Gooden going to be integrated??????

We don't need to see anymore Bonner. We know what he can do. This is freaking idiotic from Pop.

Gooden started and helped us against Atlanta, but he can't get any court time against the Clippers???????

This is the time to get him out there.

[duncan228]

Is it true what the Clippers announcers are saying about Duncan holding players only practices in August?


It's true.

[crc21209]

So far so damn good tonight, good to see Manu being Manu, draining 3's out there.

[Death In June]

I feel like I haven't seen gooden and duncan on the floor at the same time.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Gooden in :)

[duncan228]

Tractor tire throwing true too. :)

[timtonymanu]

Duncan + Gooden on the floor.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I feel like I haven't seen gooden and duncan on the floor at the same time.

you got you wish!!!

[will_spurs]

BTW 58 more rebounds for Duncan and he'll be the all-time Spurs leader.

[crc21209]

Update on other notable games in the West tonight:

New Orleans- 74
New York- 83 9:04 left in the 4th qtr.

Denver- 39
Dallas- 39 5:58 left in the 2nd qtr.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wow JV :(

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice the Knicks are beating NOH?

[Ice009]

Vaughn can't even hit rim from 2 feet away. LOL.

That's why Vaughn sucks. He can run the point, but he can't shoot or score.

[Crookshanks]

Vaughn can't even hit rim from 2 feet away. LOL.

That's why Vaughn sucks. He can run the point, but he can't shoot or score.

Uh - he was fouled. Leave the guy alone - he's not playing that badly. In fact, that was a pretty slick pass to Tim.

[crc21209]

Nice the Knicks are beating NOH?

Yeah hopefully that holds up. New York hung up 35 points in the 3rd qtr. on New Orleans to take the lead in the game.

[will_spurs]

LOL TP didn't even play one second in the 2nd quarter.

[crc21209]

Ticky-tack foul on Gooden.

[crc21209]

NOT GOOD. Lead down to 13.

[Libri]

aw man

[Spurs Brazil]

LAC 21-10 run

[crc21209]

BAD way to finish out the qtr! Damn it!

[Ice009]

Fucking pathetic.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

WOW WTF????

Thank you Manu!!!

[Death In June]

Dude, fuck mason at the point. What's the advantage of having him there? Anyone?

[crc21209]

Manu gets the ball, and look what happens!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuu layup

Nice to give TP some rest

[timtonymanu]

you guys are bitchin way too early. we're still up.

[Crookshanks]

some mental lapses here at the end of the half... :bang

[crc21209]

Damn it Fin!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice Job on the tip Gooden!

[45 bank shot]

no lead is safe for us.
we can never protect the lead

[JohnnySixString]

you guys are bitchin way too early. we're still up.

Especially since you KNEW they were gonna let up like this sooner or later. Wouldn't be a Spurs game if they didn't.

[Spurs Brazil]

Thomas!!

Spurs up 59-46 at the half

[Libri]

That Finley shot would have been nice.

[crc21209]

How is that NOT a foul on Kaman!?

[Chieflion]

Stupid Spurs got their lead cut in half.

[timtonymanu]

Good job Gooden!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu gave Kaman a karate kick :)

[sonic21]

40 pts in the 1st
19 pts in the 2nd

[WalterBenitez]

so how well are we playing?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

This is one of the best games the Spurs have had in a real long time.

[crc21209]

Spurs still up 59-46 at half, were outscored 27-20 in the 2nd. Not bad considering TP played 0 mins in the 2nd qtr.

[45 bank shot]

This is one of the best games the Spurs have had in a real long time.

dun say that too early

[JohnnySixString]

no lead is safe for us.
we can never protect the lead

Something every single Spurs "fan" should be completely used to. :p:

[crc21209]

Update:

New Orleans- 80
New York- 90 5:46 left in the 4th.

[SpurAddict561]

lol@ you guys thinking we'd continue to shoot 75%

wow

[timtonymanu]

Especially since you KNEW they were gonna let up like this sooner or later. Wouldn't be a Spurs game if they didn't.

then again you always bitch. every game like this you have the same complaint.

[Crookshanks]

Hey - it was almost exclusively bench play in the 2nd quarter - they didn't do too badly. They were the ones that got the lead up to 21. This game is a teaching tool.

[JohnnySixString]

then again you always bitch. every game like this you have the same complaint.

Probably because almost every game they do this shit.

[timtonymanu]

i was actually kinda hoping the Hornets would win ... only because if they lose, they're gonna be ready for the Spurs even if Chandler's out.

[Manufan909]

dun say that too early

And it is the Clippers they're up against. So what was Hill when he was on?

and +1 for the guy saying that people expected the Spurs would continue to shoot 75%.

And Tony and Manu are completely the same stat-wise, but Manu is 2-2 from 3, and Tony is 1-2 on FTs. They're both 5-6 FG with 2 stls and 2 assists.:wow

[crc21209]

Hey - it was almost exclusively bench play in the 2nd quarter - they didn't do too badly. They were the ones that got the lead up to 21. This game is a teaching tool.

Agreed. TP didnt even play in the 2nd qtr! Good rest for him, and that bench is waaaay better with Manu back now. Manu creates so much offense not only for himself, but for teammates as well. It's great to see #20 back out there on the at&t floor again. :king

[timtonymanu]

Probably because almost every game they do this shit.

i wonder if ur even a real Spurs fan. u bitch more about them than u do cheer for them.

[crc21209]

Another update:

New Orleans- 85
New York- 96 2:31 left in the 4th qtr

Denver- 57
Dallas- 52 Halftime

[JohnnySixString]

i wonder if ur even a real Spurs fan. u bitch more about them than u do cheer for them.

Seems to me from this board there are about 6 "real" spurs fans in the world, they live on this board and according to them everyone else is on a bandwagon. Of course, you're one of those "real" fans.:rolleyes

[Manufan909]

Another update:

New Orleans- 85
New York- 96 2:31 left in the 4th qtr

Denver- 57
Dallas- 52 Halftime

Goooooooooo Dallas. Never thought I'd say that.:p:

[Manufan909]

Crap, all of the Big 3 are 5-6. Woot.

[romain.star]

great game from Manu so far but let's not forget we're talking about the fucking tanking clippers

[poop]

hopefully that tip-in gets Gooden going.

WILL HE PLAY IN THE 2ND HALF???

[Manufan909]

hopefully that tip-in gets Gooden going.

WILL HE PLAY IN THE 2ND HALF???

I bet he'll start.

[timtonymanu]

Seems to me from this board there are about 6 "real" spurs fans in the world, they live on this board and according to them everyone else is on a bandwagon. Of course, you're one of those "real" fans.:rolleyes

i never said i was, but ur definitely not a good Spurs fan. I admit i have my moments where i bitch about the Spurs but i dont do it all the time like you. I've never seen a post from you actually supporting them.

[will_spurs]

NY wins 103-93 against New Orleans... good.

[Manufan909]

i never said i was, but ur definitely not a good Spurs fan. I admit i have my moments where i bitch about the Spurs but i dont do it all the time like you. I've never seen a post from you actually supporting them.

At least he's consistent.:lol

[Spurs Brazil]

TD on the bench to start the 3rd

[crc21209]

Update:

New Orleans- 93
New York- 103 FINAL

[timtonymanu]

TD on the bench to start the 3rd

Is he hurt? Or is it just Pop wanting to rest him?

[duncan228]

Is he hurt? Or is it just Pop wanting to rest him?

He's okay.

[romain.star]

i never said i was, but ur definitely not a good Spurs fan. I admit i have my moments where i bitch about the Spurs but i dont do it all the time like you. I've never seen a post from you actually supporting them.

i know it's not my business but i looked at his post account and it's pretty impressive. Based on his posts, this guy can't be a spurs fan

[will_spurs]

Probably rest. No need to have Duncan AND Parker on the floor tonight.

[Ice009]

Wow was that PG play from Mason?

[Chieflion]

Is he hurt? Or is it just Pop wanting to rest him?
There is really no need to play him anyway.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley 333333333333333333

[will_spurs]

Is it me or Mason got 3 assists in a row and a steal?!?

[timtonymanu]

KT is doing well in place of Tim.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP!!!

Spurs up 70-52

[Libri]

TP again abusing the Clippers

[Spurs Brazil]

TP J

Spurs up 20

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr 33333333333333333

[timtonymanu]

TP wants to lead the team in points again. lol.

[Manufan909]

Is Gooden in?

[will_spurs]

Is Gooden in?

Check Yahoo's game channel, you will see the lineups. And no, not in. Starters for the moment (except Duncan).

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Why is Bowen getting so few minutes?

I hope they go up in the playoffs!

[Manufan909]

Just did, fuck. They are up 20, put in he garbage minute players, and rookies!!!

[Manufan909]

Now KT is 5-6, nice.

[will_spurs]

Well they were only up 13 a few minutes ago. Then we got 3 assists from Mason, layup and jumper and 2 assists from TP... Clippers time-out so the lineup will probably change.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley J

Spurs up 23

[Spursfan092120]

Zach Randolph looks like he's 12.

[Spurs Brazil]

Is Gooden in?

He's in now


FInley 333333333333333333333333

[Manufan909]

Why did Pop wait halfway thru the 3rd to put in the 2nd unit? Play Gooden!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Mason and 1

[Manufan909]

Mason And1.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu in

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

NICE pass MANU

PARKER 3333333333333333333

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp 33333333333333333

[will_spurs]

LOL Parker 333333 :D

[Libri]

Manu working his magic :ihit

[timtonymanu]

WOW a Parker 333333333333333! lol.

[Manufan909]

Manu to Tony!!!!!!!!

[Dex]

:lol Tony and Manu fuckin' with em now.

[will_spurs]

Parker has regained the lead in points and assists, he can now go back to the bench. Or maybe Pop is worried that TP will shoot more 3s :)

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu to GOODEN!!!!!!!!!!!1

I could get used to that!

[duncan228]

Some games are just fun.

[Spurs Brazil]

Gooden dunk from Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[timtonymanu]

Manu to Gooden!!! I wanna see alot of this.

[WalterBenitez]

Manu's PG skills are great compared with Mason;s

[Chieflion]

Is Mason flirting with a triple double?

[SpursFan0728]

Manu is amazing

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

George Hill's shot look HORRIBLE!

[duncan228]

Is Mason flirting with a triple double?

8 points
7 boards
6 assists

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu is amazing



:toast

It's amazing how much better the 2nd unit is with Manu playing well! Granted it is the Clips but I'm excited!!! :downspin:

[024]

damn six spurs players have scored in the double digits.

[m33p0]

bah! i lost my feed.

[SpursFan0728]

:toast

It's amazing how much better the 2nd unit is with Manu playing well! Granted it is the Clips but I'm excited!!! :downspin:

yes I agree. Cheers:toast

[Joe Schmoogins]

what an exciting game... wish i was watching it!

[Crookshanks]

OMG - Spurs have 90 points and we're still in the 3rd quarter! :lmao

[Ice009]

George Hill's shot look HORRIBLE!

Hill has got no confidence.

I really think George is a good shooter. He has always been a scorer. He can shoot, but for some reason he is not doing it with confidence.

Let's go George. Keep shooting and keep being aggressive. Don't worry about Pop's BS.

[Manufan909]

Hope Gooden can have half the chem Fab has with Manu by next years ASG, if he's still here.

[Chieflion]

This is exactly what happened when I was playing nba 2k9 yesterday.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice Drive Gooden!

[Manufan909]

bah! i lost my feed.

But the fucking Denver Dallas game still gets through.:bang:bang:bang

[Libri]

Gooden drives for a basket

[Spurs Brazil]

Gooden and Manu working well

[will_spurs]

This is exactly what happened when I was playing nba 2k9 yesterday.

:lmao

[Libri]

Good steal by Hill

[will_spurs]

The Spurs already have 6 steals tonight. Clearly the Clippers couldn't care less.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill dunk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Manufan909]

Gooden and Manu working well

I lose the ability to see the game after only one Manu-Gooden moment?!? Crap.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu to Hill!!!!!!

[duncan228]

OMG Manu to Hill. Pretty.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu is a beast!!!!!!!!!!

[Manufan909]

Hills dunk damn well better be on the highlights.

[will_spurs]

The Spurs already have 6 steals tonight. Clearly the Clippers couldn't care less.

Make that 7.

[BlackSwordsMan]

manu's trade value is getting higher!!

[timtonymanu]

This game is sweet even if it's the Clippers.

[Crookshanks]

This 2nd unit is having a blast with Manu on the floor. Manu is the spark that was missing when Tony is on the bench. It's soooooo good to have Manu back!!!!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bring on the Hornets :hungry:

[BlackSwordsMan]

fucking vaughn

[Manufan909]

What kind was it? Two hands, one, reverse, tomohawk, windmill, what?

[Dex]

Spurs going for 98 in 3 quarters. :smokin
