Spurs vs. Pacers Apr. 3 - Game Thread

[bdictjames]

11-point lead, 10:20 left.

Drew "Great"en.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Step back 3 by Manu!!!!

[Spursmania]

Damn-that 3 looked good. Manu needed that!

[bdictjames]

That's a Manu tres!

[Libri]

vintage step back Manu 3!

[alchemist]

lmao, bonner running like a T-Rex

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[peskypesky]

Also, he runs like a retard. His arms are too short and he curls them like a t-rex, so it's even more comical.

a white guy who can't jump with short arms. not a recipe for rebounds.

[bdictjames]

102-88.

[bdictjames]

Mason rebound, nice.

[peskypesky]

Drew "Great"en.

Too Gooden.

[Spursmania]

Bull shit screen call.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Where do they come up with these offensive fouls?

[bdictjames]

Lots of moving picks have been called.

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop time out

Spurs up 11

[bdictjames]

Murphy is a pretty versatile big man.

[Mugen]

give me a break with that call.

[bdictjames]

Wth is this Spurs Doritos commercial, lol

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I think that it is clear that Pop just let Hill play because it is his hometown, I mean he didn't even trust him to handle the point for 3 minutes with a 12 point lead WTF?

[bdictjames]

Spurs shooting nearly 58%

[Spursmania]

I'd like to see more points in the paint too.

[Mugen]

starting manu doesnt do shit for the team. we have been getting out to good starts with mase starting. hes the type of player that you gotta establish early to get him going much like finley.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why is it every game we play against the Pacers has no intensity? This game could be a practice match.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I think that it is clear that Pop just let Hill play because it is his hometown, I mean he didn't even trust him to handle the point for 3 minutes with a 12 point lead WTF?

I stand correted He's in the game

[peskypesky]

Man I wanna see Manu going to the rack more, stop shooting all these 3s

let him save some of that for the playoffs. we don't need him getting injured this close to the post-season.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

George Hill scored!!!!!!!!!!1

[Spursmania]

What a hustle by Hill-

[Libri]

Hill put back!

[bdictjames]

George Hill nice!

Crowd cheers.

[peskypesky]

Love Hill's energy.

[Spursmania]

Whistle happy zebras

[Mugen]

ive seen more moving screens called than ever in this game.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Granger for 3 :(

[Spursmania]

That's sick by Granger.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I stand correted He's in the game

Pop's Benophobia won't let him give a rookie the backup PG position. He was playing 2-guard minutes, which is better than nothing, but still nonsensical.

[duncan228]

I'd love it if they can finish it with Duncan on the bench.

[bdictjames]

Wow, 3s going for the Pacers.

[Horse]

Between Gooden and Thomas we have all we need to compliment Timmy. Ginobili is rounding into form. By the playoffs I think we'll be set. I do think Mase needs to play off of Duncan, Manu will be the spark he's been off the bench.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Death In June]

We can't handle anyone anymore. Pretty sad.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Pacers coming back..... DAMNIT

[loveforthegame]

Fuck.

[Bartleby]

SHIT! They're right back in it!

[Horse]

Here we fucking go again. Give the sorry asses life. Fuck I just don't understand this shit. The starters should be resting.

[bdictjames]

Foul on Ginobili

Parker sucks.

[jtbrock01]

Granger for 3 :(

better put bowen in

[Spurs Brazil]

Great job Pop

Keep TD on the bench

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jack has been very good.

Can we please get to the rack? Maybe some Timmy 4-down?

[Mugen]

well here comes their run.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

3 point lead..... WOW

[Spursmania]

Wow-what a change of events

[bdictjames]

Cmon, Spurs, 3 pt lead.

[Chomag]

Why can we never hold on to a lead.

[duncan228]

So much for that theory.

[Spurs Brazil]

Pacers 13-2 run, Spurs up 3

[Ice009]

I was going to keep my mouth shut in the game thread, but Pop is still the biggest fucking IDIOT COACH around.

[bdictjames]

Two FTs for Duncan, fans didn't like the call.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Make your Free throws Timmy :(

[bdictjames]

Man our D is just trash!!
They hit some threes, nothing to see here.

[Spursmania]

Let's go D!

[peskypesky]

Refs really reluctant to call fouls on the Pacers.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

OMG! Tim got a call!!!

[bdictjames]

Duncan 1-2.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Are you kidding me?

[Libri]

no no

[Spursmania]

Missed rotation on D! He was wide open.

[Bartleby]

Fucking shit!

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK

Guard him

[bdictjames]

Wow, wide open 3 for Murphy. WTH Spurs.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fucking finley!!!!!

[Death In June]

Now pop calls a timeout? What a joke.

[bdictjames]

Hahahahah, you have to laugh at this misery.

[Libri]

:bang

[cnyc3]

aaaand there goes the lead

[Leftyventricle]

Wtf!!!

[Spursmania]

Pop-how about D. Bowen anybody?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

What the FUCK San Antonio!

[Spurs Brazil]

Pathetic

[Ice009]

Gregg POPAVITCH COACH OF THE FUCK YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Horse]

This is fucking incredible. Refs doing their regular shitty job also.

[bdictjames]

Pacers take a fucking lead.

I swear I had a 102-88 lead a few minutes ago. Where the fuck is Ginobili?

[jag]

WTF is going on? Watching the automatic updates on Spurs.com sucks

[peskypesky]

Total sucko.

[Joe Schmoogins]

unbelieveable.

[Chomag]

Pacers are strait outplaying the Spurs now. Will someoen tell our guys that a NBA game is 48 minutes long... Please?

[Bartleby]

So much for SPAM

[Mugen]

well there ya go, horrible team right now. no killer instinct.

[lefty]

:lmao

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

God I would rather have Hill on Granger, he can't do much worse....

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oh lord, we don't scare anyone any more. First round flameout this year, I fear.

Fucking 3 early in the clock by Finley - terrible decision. We needed to work the clock and get inside, and he jacks it.

[Spursmania]

Man oh man.:bang

[braeden0613]

that is what happens when you rely on outside shots the entire game

[Spursfan092120]

Where the hell was that foul?

[Ice009]

Man this in on Pop and his gay offensive lineups.

What was he thinking sitting Tim for so long in the 4th.

FUck this guy has turned into the retard coach.

[Thomas82]

pathetic

[jrmp317]

stop playing Michael Finley

[Spurs1234]

sorry boys, i know we all over react during a loss, but this team just doesnt have it this year...they will make a run in the playoffs, but the team is not a champ contender this year....

[Spursfan092120]

Pop needs to come out with Bowen again.

[bdictjames]

I don't think how fans can take many more 1-pt losses anymore.

[Spurs Brazil]

Defense sucks

A bunch of opens looks. Shots stopped going in and the Pacers got the lead

DEFENSE SUCKS

[Spursmania]

We need to attack and go to the paint.

[peskypesky]

My GD girlfriend jinxed us!! ARRghhh

she walked by and said "how's the game going." I said "Spurs are up by 11." She said "That much? It's not even close then."

[SpursFan0728]

Parker a few TOs and bad rotations

[Spursfan092120]

sorry boys, i know we all over react during a loss, but this team just doesnt have it this year...they will make a run in the playoffs, but the team is not a champ contender this year....
not giving up. Playoffs is a new season.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

So much for SPAM

No SPAM this year. :depressed

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wow how was that a foul on Finley?

[Spursfan092120]

My GD girlfriend jinxed us!! ARRghhh

she walked by and said "how's the game going." I said "Spurs are up by 11." She said "That much? It's not even close then."
so did you break up with her? lol

[TheChillFactor]

this team sucks.

[Capt Bringdown]

There must be some locker room voodoo going on. We're not this bad.
Looks like the team has given up itself.

[peskypesky]

Maybe PJ Carliesemo was the real brains on our bench!

you think?

[Thomas82]

that is what happens when you rely on outside shots the entire game

Now, I just expect all of our games to go down to the wire, regardless of the outcome.

[Spursfan092120]

No SPAM this year. :depressed
Spam could be May...I'd love to peak after May.

[bdictjames]

Alright, Manu in.

[jag]

My GD girlfriend jinxed us!! ARRghhh

she walked by and said "how's the game going." I said "Spurs are up by 11." She said "That much? It's not even close then."

What a bitch.

[Spurs Brazil]

Small ball

[peskypesky]

so did you break up with her? lol

i warned her.

[Thomas82]

Good thing Granger missed that FT.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:lol

This game will be in the 120s!

[bdictjames]

Alright, tie game, first tie in the ball game.

[Malice]

Just another team making us their BITCH....again.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Thank you TP

[Death In June]

At least tony still has balls.

[Capt Bringdown]

Maybe PJ Carliesemo was the real brains on our bench!

Heh - heh, I was thinking the same thing the other day.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP great play!!!

[Thomas82]

Spam could be May...I'd love to peak after May.

That would be nice, better late than never.

[bdictjames]

Tony Parker with a layup, 2 pt lead!

[duncan228]

Lots of time left. An ugly win is okay with me.

[Spursfan092120]

Win or not...another horrible defensive game.

[peskypesky]

thank you Tony

[Allanon]

WTF, I switched the channel at half-time and the Spurs blowing 'em away....

[bdictjames]

Pacers out of their minds right now.

[Spursfan092120]

Timmay!!

[Spursmania]

That's it Timmy!

[Libri]

Tiiimmmy!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD great

[bdictjames]

Go Timmy!

[Malice]

A familiar trend. Get lead, watch a young, nothing to lose team claw back, and watch the Spurs not hit another shot the rest of the game.I fucking love this team.

[Spursfan092120]

Good god..they won't miss...they're not even running plays.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spam could be May...I'd love to peak after May.

Fingers crossed! :)


Man we just have NO HEART! This is just sad, no D at all......50% fg 53% 3ptfg

STFU with the no heart bullshit. This has nothing to do with effort, it's lack of chemistry.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Granger going off..... still no Bowen

[Spurs Brazil]

We can't get a stop

[Spursfan092120]

Nice one Manu

[Spursmania]

That's it TP, TD and Manu in the paint!!!

[Thomas82]

Maybe PJ Carliesemo was the real brains on our bench!

I think we need him back. RC and Pop should give him a call at the end of the season.

[bdictjames]

Manu with the basket!

[cnyc3]

manu and tim the rest of the way.. doo et

[bdictjames]

We get a stop nice!

[dbestpro]

If Pop will put Bowen on Granger we will win. If not we will lose. It is that simple.

[Spursfan092120]

Just fucking wow.

[peskypesky]

Granger>Kobe?

[Spursmania]

Hey Pop, How about Bowen????????

[bdictjames]

Murphy.. wow.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Hill missed a wide open 3, then Murphy drains a three.....


BOWEN NOW DAMNIT

[Horse]

I hate to say this about professionals but I believe the regular season just does'nt do anything for them anymore I believe their bored.

[urunobili]

what a fuck is G-Hill shooting that three?

[Spursfan092120]

If Pop will put Bowen on Granger we will win. If not we will lose. It is that simple.
Grainger was owning Bruce earlier.

[Spurs Brazil]

Another open 3

Play fuck defense

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Please explain to me why we keep leaving Murphy wide open in the same spot??? :pctoss

[Libri]

Paaaarker

[Mal]

Wtf

[lefty]

Tpppppppppppppppppppp

[Malice]

Excuse me if I dont seem enthused with this lead.

[Spursmania]

Please Spurs, drive and stop the 3's.

[Bartleby]

The Spurs are getting beat at their own game.

[Thomas82]

Aw man....Troy Murphy with a 3!!

[bdictjames]

114-113

Nice game for Tony.

[Spursfan092120]

WTF is Tim doing guarding Jack?

[bdictjames]

Jack on Timmy.

[loveforthegame]

Insane.

[Spursfan092120]

Shit..Tim on the ground.

[bdictjames]

Alright, Timmy 2 FTs.

[Thomas82]

I hate to say this about professionals but I believe the regular season just does'nt do anything for them anymore I believe their bored.

I think so too.

[duncan228]

I don't like seeing him on the floor. :(

[peskypesky]

fuck me

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wait we might as well take TP out and Ginobili and put in Vaughn and Udoka....

[TheChillFactor]

wtf is this fascination with bowen he's been HORRIBLE this year.

[Death In June]

Tim's head took that guy out.

[Spursmania]

Damn guys, this sucks.

[lefty]

Please explain to me why we keep leaving Murphy wide open in the same spot??? :pctoss

Pop thought it was Bonner

[bdictjames]

Giving up 34 pts with 2:31 remaining is just not Spurlike.

[Bulwark]

Indiana fouling hard around the basket. We should do the same.

[Spurs Brazil]

I can't believe how bad is the defense in this game. One of the 3 worst defensive game of the year

Rotations are always late

[Thomas82]

Come on Tim.....hit these 2 FTs!!

[EricB]

Yeah I think its official, this team is fucked 3 ways to sunday.

[Malice]

this team isnt going to miss the rest of the way guys. might as well get the fucking buckets ready...this ship is sinking FAST

[45 bank shot]

wtf just happened?
how could we play such atrocious d in crunch time?

[braeden0613]

disastrous defense right now...tim needs to hit these

[Horse]

How the fuck can we not get a stop?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim has no lateral movement any more. He's still only at about 70%. That's a big part of the problem right there... that and the fact that we have no perimeter stopper any more.

[jag]

wtf is this fascination with bowen he's been HORRIBLE this year.

It's the cool thing to do right now.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Grainger was owning Bruce earlier.


By owned you mean he had 4 poiints and 2 of those were because he pushed Bowen?

[Thomas82]

I don't like seeing him on the floor. :(

I know I sure as hell don't. Is he OK?

[jag]

What's the score????

[Mugen]

i miss the days where we were actually confident about the spurs play down the stretch.

[Spursmania]

wtf is this fascination with bowen he's been HORRIBLE this year.

We're desperate for D!:wow

[Capt Bringdown]

How do you leave Mason out in crunch time? It doesn't make any sense.
Yes, Mason is having an off night. But you gotta go with your best players and trust them.

[vander]

wtf is this fascination with bowen he's been HORRIBLE this year.

living in the past, it's only going to become more and more prevalent at ST

[Spursfan092120]

Your a fool, looked like we had chemistry when up 14 now all the sudden we dont have it........ANYONE CAN PLAYD ITS ABOUT HEART NOT CHEMISTRY. Your just another fuck who game after game comes up with an excuse for why we blow lead after lead to bad teams!! GTFO LOSER
Disagree...you seem to be the loser...all you do is talk negative. Can't ever think positive about any situation..you'd be the guy who, after we win a title, get pissed because we only won by 2. You're the one who should
http://www.pbrowebservices.com/images/Gtfo.jpg

[dbestpro]

We were kicking it when we wnet big and they went small. Now they go small and we go small and we get our lunch handed to us. We are just not long enough to match up like this. Also, small ball stops the inside play and thus no more free throws.

[Spurs Brazil]

Pacers 13-17FG in the 4th

[jag]

WTF is the SCORE???

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

PAcers have a knack for beating good teams at home :(

[Spursmania]

I'm nervous for our guys. We can't lose this fricking game.

[Allanon]

2 minute game, c'mon guys lock down.

[Spurs Brazil]

We were kicking it when we wnet big and they went small. Now they go small and we go small and we get our lunch handed to us. We are just not long enough to match up like this. Also, small ball stops the inside play and thus no more free throws.

True

Small ball = lead gone

[loveforthegame]

Is Duncan ok?

[Spursfan092120]

Now get a damn stop.

[Allanon]

wtf is the score???

115-115

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Duncan 1 of 2 from the line :(

[loveforthegame]

WTF is the SCORE???

Pacers up 115-114.

[Spursmania]

WTF is the SCORE???

115-115 2:00 left

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Your a fool, looked like we had chemistry when up 14 now all the sudden we dont have it........ANYONE CAN PLAYD ITS ABOUT HEART NOT CHEMISTRY. Your just another fuck who game after game comes up with an excuse for why we blow lead after lead to bad teams!! GTFO LOSER

Fuck you moron.

So you're telling me they are not trying? You GTFOH. Of course they are trying. Right now they are being outplayed.

I make no excuses for them. But I also know that they are not being beaten for lack of trying. Murphy is hitting those 3s because Tim isn't covering him out there, and that's because Tim's knees are at about 60%.

Nice abuse by the way, you fucking tool. I disagree with you so you abuse me. Fucking wanker.

[Mal]

As I said. Spurs blew 10 pts lead to lose the game

[Spursfan092120]

Shit!

[bdictjames]

Tied.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Granger is going off DAMNIT

[Spurs Brazil]

Another easy one for the Pacers

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim is a ghost right now.

[Spursfan092120]

Nice 3 Tony.

[jag]

This is terrible.

[Libri]

Tony 33333!

[Spursmania]

TP knocks a 3. 118-117

[lefty]

3333333333

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Parker for 3

[Malice]

clacking free throws late in the 4th TD? Are you serious?

[Bartleby]

Wow! Parker for 3

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Need a score here

[Spursfan092120]

Come on guys..a win is a win..but let's get it.

[TheChillFactor]

manu is terrible on d right now.

[cnyc3]

Good D tony

[lefty]

Tpppppppppppppppppppppppppp

[Thomas82]

Pacers 13-17FG in the 4th

That is pathetic!!

[Spurs Brazil]

TP fucking clutch

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Thank you tp!!!!!

[Spursmania]

TP is our hero with another jumper. SPurs by 3.

[bbarry]

not enough tony parker in the 3rd quarter... but here we go now.

[Spursfan092120]

Nice shot Tony...Tony being Tony tonight..straight ballin.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP is clutch

Fuck the haters

[jag]

TP you're a beautiful man.

[Spursfan092120]

Timmy was right..dude should be getting MVP talk.

[Libri]

TP! :ihit

[Malice]

Wonderful. The playoff just need to start already. So I can officially move on with my fucking life

[Spursfan092120]

TP is clutch

Fuck the haters
:tu

[Death In June]

Thank god for tony.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Come on Spurs hold on I can't take another loss right now.

[Spursmania]

55 seconds left.

[Thomas82]

Now we need a couple of stops.

[45 bank shot]

i miss the days where we were actually confident about the spurs play down the stretch.

that actually happened last year

[loveforthegame]

Parker saving us.

[Mal]

Possible win here is not good win at all
