Houston needs to lose to dallas for us to get the 3rd seed, provided we win out.

that seeding shit is too complicated for me

[Spursmania]

Houston destroyed the Hornets by 20. Dallas beat Minnesota by 2. Denver beat the Kings by 20. Portland leading OKC by over 30 points with 10 minutes left in 4th...

:depressed:depressed

[Biggems]

Portland needs to lose as well, since they own the head to head

[Death In June]

Portland needs to lose as well, since they own the head to headI think being division winners would trump the head to head.

[Spursmania]

that seeding shit is too complicated for me

Mavs<Spurs has a great thread on the seedings. I'm sure it will get bumped after this game. Spells everything out pretty well.:toast

[GSH]

Wow I must of missed Danny Granger getting his teeth knocked out earlier in the season.

I can see why the Pacers fans wanted Artest and Jackson out of there so Danny can get more court time.


Danny Granger is a badass. He's smart, and he's a team player. He's one guy I would really love to see in Silver and Black.

[SequSpur]

+10000. it's impossible for us to get him at this point though.

[alchemist]

Portland needs to lose as well, since they own the head to head
best case scenario would be, Dallas wins, Portlands wins and we end up 4th going against Houston with HCA.

[GSH]

+10000. it's impossible for us to get him at this point though.


Yeah... reality bites. But all that other stuff is still true.

[HarlemHeat37]

"at this point"?..Granger is their franchise player, we would never get him..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We were 3rd in the lottery in 1997, not 6th as the commentator said.

I think being division winners would trump the head to head.

used to...but as of a few years ago, a 2nd place team can be as high as a 2 seed, if they have a better record than the other two division winners.

all 3 division winners are guaranteed a top 4 seed, not a top 3.

[Libri]

Bonner with a 3

[HarlemHeat37]

great play there..

[Texas_Ranger]

Michael Finley should go on the bench and never come back.

[raspsa]

Its safe to say that Mason has passed Duncan as the Spur whose shot gets blocked most often..

[ElNono]

best case scenario would be, Dallas wins, Portlands wins and we end up 4th going against Houston with HCA.

If Dallas wins we win the division which makes us automatically the third seed. This is a new rule for this season. Division winners override any tiebreakers.

[will_spurs]

Hmmm Mason, Bonner, Gooden and Parker with 3 fouls...

[Biggems]

finley and mason cannot seem to have a good game in the same game....we get one of the two or even neither.....

[peskypesky]

65-40 Spurs

me like!

[Biggems]

If Dallas wins we win the division which makes us automatically the third seed. This is a new rule for this season. Division winners override any tiebreakers.

Nope.......but nice try

[peskypesky]

the Rash attacks!

[HarlemHeat37]

I love me some Bowen..

[AussieFanKurt]

at last bonner connects

[GSH]

Its safe to say that Mason has passed Duncan as the Spur whose shot gets blocked most often..


Mason should FedEx the ball to the rim... it would get there quicker.

[alchemist]

In fact if Houston loses I wouldn't mind dropping the N.O. game just to get 5th and avoid a chance at the Lakers in the 2nd round.

[DDS4]

Anthony Randolph reminds me of a left-handed Tayshaun Prince.

[peskypesky]

Tim yelling at refs?

[HarlemHeat37]

how does Duncan not get that call? he was sandwiched..

[ace3g]

what a shot by Duncan, spinning around shooting backwards behind his shoulder for a layup

[raspsa]

I guess its encouraging that Pop is keeping Timmy in the game despite the big lead.. get a chance to get rid of some of the rust and get his timing back.. knee is definitely better

[peskypesky]

spurs up 27. will duncan and parker get some rest?

[Manu-of-steel]

it's a rout. maybe pop will give hill some burn

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't think Randolph compares to anybody in the NBA, at least not at the top of my head..he really has the talent to do EVERYTHING on the court..he just needs to get some weight on his frame, and he needs to put his game together..specifically understanding when to do what, which will come with time..

[peskypesky]

I guess its encouraging that Pop is keeping Timmy in the game despite the big lead.. get a chance to get rid of some of the rust and get his timing back.. knee is definitely better

i think Gooden's game is also helping Tim's spirits.

[GSH]

You're back to being my sig bitch. Being a division winner guarantees one of the top 4 spots. But if a non-division winner has a better record than one of the division winners, they get the higher seed. You could conceivably have the 1 and 2 seed from the same division, and the other 2 division winners could be the 3 and 4 seeds.

[Biggems]

ok for those of you who dont know.....the Spurs need to win out, and have Houston and Portland lose for them to get the 3 seed.

If one of those two wins their final game, the best we can do is 4. If both win, we end up 5.

[bdictjames]

Not to jinx the game, but the entire Spurs team has 40 rebounds while we still have about 19 minutes left to play.

[peskypesky]

time for Jacque?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

So, who do you want to see in the first round?

Portland scares me - I know they are young and inexperienced in playoffs pressure, but they just spell first round upset to me, whoever they play.

Houston would be a brawl, probably go 7 games.

I'll take a beaten up NO - they have no centre to speak of, and althoughWest and paul kill us, we own Peja. Yeah, I'd like to see NO.

[will_spurs]

Unfortunately basketball IQ isn't as easy to acquire as weight or muscle.

[Libri]

Bonner 3

good passing

[peskypesky]

spurs up 30

:flag:

[bdictjames]

Oh wow, this is great offense and great defense.

[Spursmania]

Is it me or does this seem like a very long game?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Anthony Randolph reminds me of a left-handed Tayshaun Prince.

I think he's going to be better than Prince.

[AussieFanKurt]

why does bonner turn on when it doesnt matter

[Biggems]

I want the 3 seed. I want NO. I want to send CP3 and his helicopter ass home early.

Then we can focus on Denver/Dallas winner.

[will_spurs]

The Spurs can blow a 19-point lead. Can they blow a 31-point lead? Stay tuned :D

[HarlemHeat37]

Pop needs to take TP out of the game, give Hill some time..

hopefully he leaves Bonner in the game, he needs a rhythm on his shot into the playoffs..

[peskypesky]

Hornets first.
Then Blazers.
Then Rockets. But if Yao's foot is bad, I'd put them ahead of the Blazers.

[raspsa]

Nice. Defense collapses on Timmy and he spots Bonner for an open 3. Timmy has to be a threat down low so he can open up the perimeter.

[Libri]

Will Hill get most of the fourth quarter?

[SequSpur]

http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/chat.php?

[Biggems]

get Parker out of there already and put in Hill

[Ice009]

That scores suck. I was hoping some teams pulled upsets until you guys posted the scores of those other games.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This game reminds me of the first night of my last trip to the US in January 2007 - I was staying in a motel near the San Fransisco airport and went to the Hilton sportsbar to watch us absolutely pummel the Warriors.

I then had 7 of the best weeks of my life.

:D

[alchemist]

I want Houston, Portland and N.O. are terrifying

[peskypesky]

lead down to 29

:(

[Biggems]

ok in this quarter, the Warriors are throwing themselves all over the damn floor.

[peskypesky]

lead back up to 31

:)

[Spursmania]

why does bonner turn on when it doesnt matter

No pressure.

so u enjoyed the Bath Houses huh:downspin:

Pop, rest the starters. Come on now.

[peskypesky]

time to sit tony....

I don't see us getting New Orleans, but that would be good..

Houston or Dallas looks like it'll be the most realistic IMO..out of the 2, I'd rather play Houston..

[DDS4]

I don't think Pop could have asked for a better game. Minimal use of TD to boot.

[timtonymanu]

Warriors only scored 6 points in the 3rd quarter.

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm guessing a lot of Hill and Williams in the 4th..actually, I'm just hopeful for that..

[Libri]

Tony looks tired, lets get Hill some time

[peskypesky]

this is EXACTLY the kind of game i wanted to see tonight. chilled out. no need to drink hard liquor to soothe the nerves.

[Thomas82]

Whoa!! I stepped away for a minute and I come back to see that we blew the game wide open!!

[ElNono]

You're back to being my sig bitch. Being a division winner guarantees one of the top 4 spots. But if a non-division winner has a better record than one of the division winners, they get the higher seed. You could conceivably have the 1 and 2 seed from the same division, and the other 2 division winners could be the 3 and 4 seeds.

If they have a better record than a division champion, yes, they would get a higher seed. However, if a division champion is TIED with a non division champion, the champion gets the higher seed regardless of tiebreakers between them. This is a new rule for this season and has been already explained in the seeding thread. In order for this to happen we need to beat NO and Dallas needs to beat Houston.

[Thomas82]

this is exactly the kind of game i wanted to see tonight. Chilled out. No need to drink hard liquor to soothe the nerves.

+1

[Spursmania]

I don't see us getting New Orleans, but that would be good..

I'd rather play Houston than Portland. Portland will wear us out with all the running and athleticism.

[peskypesky]

Tony looks tired, lets get Hill some time

i concur. he looked a little gassed.

[Biggems]

Stupid NHL....they put the Penguins 1st game on the same night as the Spurs/Hornets game....and at the same time.

[alchemist]

was Kurt snacking on some mini-snickers bar? :lmao

[will_spurs]

Hill for Parker!

[peskypesky]

Whoa!! I stepped away for a minute and I come back to see that we blew the game wide open!!

usually it's exactly the opposite!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

so u enjoyed the Bath Houses huh:downspin:

Ba-dum-bum-chish! :lol

Don't believe the hype, I dig chicks.

Actually, that game was 30 December, and the next night I went to Ruby Sky, an amazing club in Downtown SF for NYE. The Crystal Method were playing, but I ended up spending most of the night in the back bar hangin with the DJ who was a huge, African-American linebacker type, and smoking blunts with him. He tried to hook me up with this chick, but she was a total biatch, so I let her play her games and just enjoyed the scenery instead. ;)

Went home about 3am because I had to pick up a car to drive up the coast next day. Night I'll never forget though...

[SpursFan0728]

great playing by spurs

[Spursmania]

I cannot believe the score here. 78-44 wow...

[peskypesky]

does Don Nelson really think the refs are a factor tonight? lol

[HarlemHeat37]

..and that's why Hill doesn't play PG for us anymore..

[Spursmania]

was Kurt snacking on some mini-snickers bar? :lmao

He's getting ready for the 4th!:lol

[peskypesky]

Hill embarrassing himself.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Anthony is like a cross between Prince-Odom-Jamario Moon - the kid is gonna be a total beast when he gets a coach that can actually use him properly.

[peskypesky]

nice aggressive drive by Hill

[arodz]

..and that's why Hill doesn't play PG for us anymore..

So, Mason is so much better???

[HarlemHeat37]

..and then Hill shows exactly why he should get minutes..

[peskypesky]

nice D by Oberto

[peskypesky]

Gooden with another board

[will_spurs]

..and that's why Hill doesn't play PG for us anymore..

He hasn't played in a month or more. Cut him some slack for his first 30 seconds back as PG? It's not like the other options were doing such a great job.

[arodz]

If the Spurs are gonna make ANY type of run at this thing, George Hill HAS TO BE a part of that.

[peskypesky]

Biedrins guarding Hill

[alchemist]

So, Mason is so much better???
he's actually playing much better lately, his confidence is through the roof at the PG position now.


I like how this unit is still playing defense :toast

[peskypesky]

If the Spurs are gonna make ANY type of run at this thing, George Hill HAS TO BE a part of that.

i agree.

[timtonymanu]

Is this Gooden's first double-double game with the Spurs?

[HarlemHeat37]

it's really puzzling how Pop doesn't figure out a way to use a PG/SG that can get to the rim and play great D..

[peskypesky]

81-49 Spurs

[Capt Bringdown]

Hill embarrassing himself.
Because of one turnover? Really?

[Spursmania]

Man, if Spurs play with this much heart and aggression, watch out whoever wants to play us first round.

[arodz]

Hill is playing pretty good considering Pop had him locked in the basement for a month

[peskypesky]

Because of one turnover? Really?

he's redeemed himself

[Mugen]

id like to see georgie get some mins on cp3 next game

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I quite like these announcers. They can be homers in close games, but they're not bad.

[raspsa]

Hill taking it strong to the basket once again.. I like his spirit and aggressiveness despite limited PT.. I really think he'll have a role to play in the coming weeks

[peskypesky]

Kobe-esque play from Azuibuike

[arodz]

Warriors checked out at halftime

[ElNono]

I thought Oberto was going to be inactive... Who did we deactivate for this game? Williams?

[Libri]

Hill working hard

[peskypesky]

Hill taking it strong to the basket once again.. I like his spirit and aggressiveness despite limited PT.. I really think he'll have a role to play in the coming weeks

it would be nice to have two PG's with a quick drive to the basket. you know you're not going to see that from Jacque or Mason.

[arodz]

So, anyone think the Warriors can make a game out of it?

[Spursmania]

This is a complete team effort tonight.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

He's on the money:

"...other teams respect [the Spurs], but they do not fear them... there used to be a bit of fear when teams played them, but not any more..."

And that's the D factor - we used to have a defense that coulkd simply stop the other team from scoring for 3-6 minutes at a time, but we lost that last year when Horry lost a step.

[arodz]

I thought Oberto was going to be inactive... Who did we deactivate for this game? Williams?

Yes, he's in street clothes on the bench.

[will_spurs]

Is this Gooden's first double-double game with the Spurs?

Yes. Best so far he had 7 rbds. He's at 11 & 11 shooting 50% from the field and 75% from charity stripe.

[DDS4]

Anthony is like a cross between Prince-Odom-Jamario Moon - the kid is gonna be a total beast when he gets a coach that can actually use him properly.

All the more reason Nellie needs to go. Randolph is the real deal and if the Warriors were smart, they'd build around him.

[peskypesky]

Warriors checked out at halftime

all 7 of them

[SequSpur]

well, they are...

[Mugen]

He's on the money:

And that's the D factor - we used to have a defense that coulkd simply stop the other team from scoring for 3-6 minutes at a time, but we lost that last year when Horry lost a step.

and we lost it even more this year when bruce lost a step.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

All the more reason Nellie needs to go. Randolph is the real deal and if the Warriors were smart, they'd build around him.

Totally, Nellie is a joke... but he is also hooked up with the owners and just signed an extension, so he ain't going anywhere, which is a pity for Warriors fans.

[Spursmania]

:toast:toast

[Danny.Zhu]

Is it the first game Gooden had more than 10 rebound as a Spur?

[peskypesky]

well, with the Warriors missing their three best scorers, this had all the makings of a blow-out

[HarlemHeat37]

the Warriors are building around Randolph..

Nelson didn't like him to start the season, in fact, he actually told him to ask for a trade IIRC..since he started playing more about 2 months ago, Nelson has completely given him the keys to the team though..

[arodz]

Thank god this is a route. Whenever the Spurs play a late night game that goes down to the wire, I'm too jacked up to get any sleep.

[raspsa]

it would be nice to have two PG's with a quick drive to the basket. you know you're not going to see that from Jacque or Mason.

Yeah, you have to be able to punish the defense if it takes away the perimeter game.. a healthy TD will do that.. so will penetrations by Parker and Hill

[will_spurs]

all 7 of them

It's sad but it made me laugh :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

beautiful move from Gooden..I thought they weren't going to call the foul there for a second, which would have been ridiculous..

[Spursmania]

Gooden is very good at drawing contact.

[Biggems]

Ba-dum-bum-chish! :lol

spending 7 weeks in SF.....i just had to give you a hard time....but nothing like what you got in those bath houses......muhahahaha

just kidding.


actually I want to go to SF. I want to see that real curvy street. I want to see the one that goes straight all the way down to the coast, i believe that is Lombard St. I wanna see the Golden Gate Bridge. If I had the money, I would go on one of those tour boats that allow you to go see Great White Sharks.

[peskypesky]

It's sad but it made me laugh :lol

and we thought the Spurs were plagued by injuries!

[arodz]

well, with the Warriors missing their three best scorers, this had all the makings of a blow-out

Last night we were playing the worst team in the NBA, played like shit and damn near lost.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

and we lost it even more this year when bruce lost a step.

Exactly.

If you look at the progression - first Horry goes, then Bowen loses enough that he can't really change games consistently any more, then Tim's knees slowed him down, then Manu went out (he's not a great individual defender, but is a great steal gambler and helper) - it's not surprising where we've ended up i.e. a team that needs to score to win.

We need some youth to come in and turn that trend around - hopefully Gist/Hairston/Mahinmi will help.

[Manufan909]

Is JV the point now?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm taking Anthony early in next year's fantasy drafts. ;)

[raspsa]

LOL.. Gooden is starting to copy Duncan at the stripe.. couple of dribbles then he pumps the ball for a long time before taking the shot..

[Thomas82]

I see Pop is emptying his bench tonight.

[Libri]

Is JV the point now?

Yes

[Thomas82]

usually it's exactly the opposite!

I know, right?

[arodz]

Wierd: Steve Javie is in the building and no T's tonight.

[Supergirl]

unless the backups do something terribly, terribly wrong, we ain't seeing any more of Parker or Duncan, I predict. Maybe not even if they DO do something terrible.

[DAF86]

Bruce Bowen: +22

[Spursmania]

Gooden acting the beast!

[Manu-of-steel]

go hill, be aggressive. show something for pop.

[Biggems]

LOL.. Gooden is starting to copy Duncan at the stripe.. couple of dribbles then he pumps the ball for a long time before taking the shot..

never fails.....he was 86% before he came here.....he will drop to 70% by the time his Spurs career is over

[Thomas82]

LOL.. Gooden is starting to copy Duncan at the stripe.. couple of dribbles then he pumps the ball for a long time before taking the shot..

Like the saying goes, "Association Brings About Assimilation."

[Spursmania]

Anyone know Gooden's stats?

[Supergirl]

wish the Spurs could rebound like this every night.

Oh, and while I'm wishing, I wish we could play GS in the playoffs.

[Libri]

Gooden with an easy jumper

[Biggems]

Hill with the 3....

[arodz]

Hill for 3!!!

[Supergirl]

Gooden has 16 pts and 13 rebounds

[Thomas82]

George Hill with a 3333333333!!!!

[AussieFanKurt]

as someone said before, hill should get mins on CP3 soon

[DDS4]

the Warriors are building around Randolph..

Nelson didn't like him to start the season, in fact, he actually told him to ask for a trade IIRC..since he started playing more about 2 months ago, Nelson has completely given him the keys to the team though..

Not only that, Nellie mishandled the Jamal Crawford situation, alienated Baron Davis and ticked off S.Jax last year. And he's tested the front office and pretty much took power away from Mullin. He's done a lot of things to sabotage the organization.

[Thomas82]

Anyone know Gooden's stats?

16 pts 14 reb

[Supergirl]

Biedrins fouls out

[Biggems]

Williams is on the inactive list tonight correct?

[will_spurs]

Anyone know Gooden's stats?

16 points on 6/10 and 4/6 with 14 rebounds (5 off) and 2 TO.

[timtonymanu]

Hill with 9 points. havent seen that stat in a while.

[Spursmania]

Gooden has 16 pts and 13 rebounds

:wow:wow

[HarlemHeat37]

I said this when we acquired him, and he keeps proving it..one of the biggest things Gooden gives us is a guy that can get to the line..we don't have that luxury..Gooden is very good at drawing fouls..

[urunobili]

Drew draws an incredibly high amount of visits to the foul like per game... i like that

[Thomas82]

Not only that, Nellie mishandled the Jamal Crawford situation, alienated Baron Davis and ticked off S.Jax last year. And he's tested the front office and pretty much took power away from Mullin. He's done a lot of things to sabotage the organization.

Which is amazing that he is still there.

[Biggems]

Gooden has 16 pts and 13 rebounds

he better have 16 pts.....he is a black hole on offense.....he is a vacuum, he sucks the ball from his teammates and eats it for the rest of the shot clock.

[arodz]

Williams is on the inactive list tonight correct?


Yes

[AussieFanKurt]

jesus drew gooden draws a lot of contact
keep it up hill!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

what hype? what rumors? i was just razzin ya.

Yeah, I figured you were just kidding - some people around here take great pleasure in calling me gay on every possible occasion because I am male and have feelings, and it gets a bit old. Anyway...

Do it, SF is a fantastic city! :)

Oh, and I spent 7 weeks all over the US - 2 nights in SF, 5 up the coast to the redwoods and back, then a week in Calgary, 3 weeks in SA, a week in NY, a week in LV, and another week driving to Phoenix and then finally LA. Was one helluva trip! :)

[Solid D]

Gooden is actually dominating right now.

[Mugen]

he better have 16 pts.....he is a black hole on offense.....he is a vacuum, he sucks the ball from his teammates and eats it for the rest of the shot clock.

id still take him over bonner any day of the week.

[timtonymanu]

wouldnt it be funny if 2 more of the Warriors players fouled out.. there only be 4 on the court.

[ElNono]

Williams is on the inactive list tonight correct?

Yes

[AussieFanKurt]

Benophoia - as in beno udrih?

[arodz]

Anyone think the Hornets will shut in down on Wednsday? Considering the got embarrased tonight, only scoring 66 points.

[Spursmania]

Feelings......nothing more than feelings.

dude, its an internet forum, why allow anyone u dont even know to get u so upset.....that is just silly.

[Biggems]

I am so glad to see Bowen is getting some playing time for crying out loud.

Nellie is close friends with the majority owner, so he has poisoned them on Mullin and done all that other shit knowing that he won't be fired. He's a complete tool.

16 pts 14 reb
And some genius started a thread saying he shoots too much..lol

[will_spurs]

he better have 16 pts.....he is a black hole on offense.....he is a vacuum, he sucks the ball from his teammates and eats it for the rest of the shot clock.

You mean he's a black hole on offense who's shooting 60% today and eating the shot clock. Totally the contrary of what we want to see from the Spurs :downspin:

[GSH]

I know I put this in the other thread, but it works here too.

As long as the guy keeps shooting around 50%, and gets to the line nearly as often as Duncan on a per-36 basis, I'd let him shoot it 30 times per night.

Those trips to the line are something this team has needed desperately, too. Every one of those whistles is one that they can't use on Duncan. They help get the other teams into the penalty. Getting to the line is a way to crawl back into a game when you're struggling, and it can give you an opportunity to win a game late in the 4th, when you're behind.

Exactly what the fuck do you guys want? A guy who can put points on the board without taking shots? Or maybe he should just defer to one of the guys we have shooting 70% from the floor

[arodz]

Another board for Gooden...keep count.

[raspsa]

OK better FT routine this time by Gooden..

[Spursfan092120]

I am so glad to see Bowen is getting some playing time for crying out loud.
I know..he's been getting a lot more minutes lately..kudos to Bruce...

[Libri]

fade away by Gooden

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

So, on to a real test against the Hornets.

BTW, Sean marks is loving it over there, playing very well. :lol

[Spursfan092120]

Another board for Gooden...keep count.
20 pts, 15 reb.

[Biggems]

I wonder how much closer it would be if Stephen Jackson were playing

[timtonymanu]

Gooden is badass..

[arodz]

Damn Gooden's out...would've loved to see him get a 20-20 game.

[peskypesky]

Gooden, you're making up for last night. Props.

im just having fun.....messing around with the peeps that keep bashing Gooden.

[AussieFanKurt]

dont shoot jacque

[arodz]

Hey Pop....are you paying attention to #3 now???

[GSH]

A man-sized board for Hill, followed by a long jumper on the other end.

[AussieFanKurt]

Damn Gooden's out...would've loved to see him get a 20-20 game.

same here, it was looking like a strong possibility.

[Biggems]

I love that sound......nothing is as pure in sports as the sound of swish.......only thing close is the sound of perfect connection between bat and ball, knocking that sucker out of the stadium.

[peskypesky]

Gooden is just what the doctor ordered. Remember all season long we were begging for another big man with skills?

[AussieFanKurt]

will timvp put ratings up tonight you think?

Indeed. Another player with some balls, scores in the paint and draws fouls, drawing heat off Timmy, and Spurs fans bitch. But when the spurs live and die by 3 they bitch. Spurs can't do nothing!!!!:lmao

[Mugen]

id like to see a george hill slam 2nite, that would be a nice capper.


actually, id rather see a JV slam.

[Texas_Ranger]

it looks like only Finley will end up with 0 points.

[ezau]

This game by Hill should convince POP that he belongs in the regular rotation. The kid can defend and he can help a little in the offensive side.

[Capt Bringdown]

I know it's garbage time, but Hill's making Pop look like an ass for benching him.

Same with Mason. Look how well he's been producing lately. Yet Pop couldn't find a way for him to play with Manu.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Where are you from?

Canberra, Australia. ;)


Feelings......nothing more than feelings.

dude, its an internet forum, why allow anyone u dont even know to get u so upset.....that is just silly.

True. Sometimes I'm a little too serious for my own good.

However, I do actually know quite a few people here - I have met them in my two trips to SA, and hung out with them on the net for 8 years. I count them as friends. I am not referring to any of them.

[raspsa]

crafty move by Vaughn to draw the shooting foul..

[peskypesky]

I love that sound......nothing is as pure in sports as the sound of swish.......only thing close is the sound of perfect connection between bat and ball, knocking that sucker out of the stadium.

well, there's that lovely crunch sound when a quarterback gets driven into the turf by a linebacker.

[Biggems]

i love this Sprite commercial

imagine watching a football game where that happened during collisions.....that would be awesome.

[Libri]

Finley and Vaughn are the only Spurs who haven't scored.

[GSH]

im just having fun.....messing around with the peeps that keep bashing Gooden.


I didn't even notice it was you, or I would have recognized the irony. Sorry... there's a whole thread on Gooden being a ball hog.

[arodz]

I'll be pulling for the Mavs on Wednsday. I want Dallas in the 1st round.

[will_spurs]

id like to see a george hill slam 2nite, that would be a nice capper.

If Hill dunks he's in the doghouse for another month. Whereas if he bricks a few more 3s he's in for the playoffs... Follow the programme :lol

[Thomas82]

We needed a win like this tonight, I feel much better going into Wednesday's game.

[Biggems]

Wow, Warriors Dancers = proof that there are attractive women in Oakland........of course those ladies are probably from SF.

Plus its not like Timmy or Tony are not getting their points. If anything, he's taking shots away from the Bonners and the Udokas out there...

[Manufan909]

I know it's garbage time, but Hill's making Pop look like an ass for benching him.

Same with Mason. Look how well he's been producing lately. Yet Pop couldn't find a way for him to play with Manu.

Cuz we all know it'd be so easy for you to do that.:sleep

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Gooden is just what the doctor ordered. Remember all season long we were begging for another big man with skills?

I just wish he'd learn to pass out of doubles, and put some more effort into defense.

But yeah, it is nice to have another big who can create his own shot around the hole. :D

[raspsa]

it looks like only Finley will end up with 0 points.

That's OK.. more than enough scoring to go around tonight.

[Biggems]

Hey Pop, you're Old Mother Hubbard and only Vaughn's in the cupboard

[peskypesky]

This game by Hill should convince POP that he belongs in the regular rotation. The kid can defend and he can help a little in the offensive side.

yep. would love to see him defending Mo Williams when we face the Cavs in the Finals.

[timtonymanu]

wats the score? yahoo is not working for me.

[Thomas82]

Nellie is close friends with the majority owner, so he has poisoned them on Mullin and done all that other shit knowing that he won't be fired. He's a complete tool.


It's a shame that he would do that to one of his former players.

[GSH]

it looks like only Finley will end up with 0 points.

And THAT is why the stupid +/- is meaningless. If not for a few assists, Fin would be a big giant goose-egg for the entire night. And he's +12. Hard to imagine anything more meaningless.

[Libri]

Spurs 96
Warriors 63

[Biggems]

Vaughn is killing me with those bricks

[Thomas82]

wats the score? Yahoo is not working for me.

96-63

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It's a shame that he would do that to one of his former players.

Yeah, it is. Want to read more about it, go take a look at Tim Kawakami's archive.

[Biggems]

2 pts away from 100..........come on Spurs give me the Century

[Spursmania]

wats the score? yahoo is not working for me.
98-63 Spurs

[arodz]

Hill has 13 pts now

[timtonymanu]

thanks to those who updated it for me.

[peskypesky]

I just wish he'd learn to pass out of doubles, and put some more effort into defense.

But yeah, it is nice to have another big who can create his own shot around the hole. :D

we're paying him 1.5 mil. don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

[Mugen]

Vaughn is killing me with those bricks

thats like yelling at a baby for crying.

leave him alone.

[Spursfan092120]

Jacque doing all he can to let GS get to within 30..lol

[will_spurs]

And THAT is why the stupid +/- is meaningless. If not for a few assists, Fin would be a big giant goose-egg for the entire night. And he's +12. Hard to imagine anything more meaningless.

+/- is relative to the game +/-, therefore +12 in a +35 game isn't really impressive.

[Thomas82]

Vaughn is killing me with those bricks

He's trying to build a house tonight.

[Creation88]

Beat down!

[arodz]

wats the score? yahoo is not working for me.


Warriors - 67
Spurs - A Cagillion

[AussieFanKurt]

Jacque doing all he can to let GS get to within 30..lol

old fart

[SpursFan0728]

Hill's shot looks great!

[AussieFanKurt]

why is JV attempting 3's

[Spursfan092120]

http://steynian.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/spanking.jpg

[Fermixalot]

did JV just intentionally turn it over or does he suck really bad?
