[SpursFan0728]

Nice game thread.

Hope spurs get this one!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I think the Spurs players are going to win game 2 IN SPITE of whatever gameplan/coaching Pop has cooked up for tonight.

They're champions and frankly I think they're tired of drama...how many times have the Spurs put themselves in a hole to grind it out to win the series...I think they've done that every year. We don't have time for that this year.

:flag::flag:

[Obstructed_View]

Spurs take this one easy. This may be their last gasp, but it's going to be delivered full-force.

[kydrice]

I'm rooting for you Spurs. As a Laker fan, I want to see them play no one else but the Spurs in the WCF. We're out for blood and as soon as we drop these fools from Utah we'll be more the hungrier! Can't let a slack-jawed team like Dallas push you around what happened?? First Lakers win over Arco arena and Sacramento one of our rivals turns into Staples Center II. I don't want to see another rival get demolished and because the Celtics don't have KG this year and they suck so beating them in the Finals won't be as gratifying and Cavs are a one-man show. Most of the times It's always been Lakers vs Spurs in the WCF that's always been the real show of the playoffs.

[Bukefal]

Nice pictures!! GO SPURS GO!!! We'll win this one for sure!!

I am so pumped for this game. Lets watch our team come out on a mission. Never too high, never too low, just win.

[pimptaddy]

Spurs will lose tonight. Suck it up spurs fans. Timmy is old and manu is an injured flopper. Mavs take you guys out tonight and win by 30 points. Dirk will go off for 50 and get 20 boards. It is over! The spurs are done. hasta la vista baby! Eva is coming home with dirk tonight.

Bonner will not go for 28 this time. Let's see what Pop comes up with today. If he doesn't adjust, fuck him for waiting until the end of the season and playoffs to tank.

You know, the little league baseball team that I was on in 3rd grade won the championship that year. Now, I'm 32 years old. It's unwise to think that my coed adult softball team will win the title this year because I was a champion 25 years ago.

Today is a new day. Regardless, though, I think this series will be fantastic. I'm not real caught up in who will win the series as I think we all love a good Mavs/Spurs playoff series. Good luck to both teams!

[The_Worlds_finest]

Spurs will win +10 tonight,
Berara will not have a night like he did game one.
Bonner will not be in during crunch.
Gooden will wake up.



This series will go back to Dtown 1-1 and come back to SA 2-2

:toast

[Creation88]

Gooden's done everything we could ask from him. he doesn't need to "wake up" as much as he needs to keep doing what he's doing . . . being the offense and low post on the 2nd team.

[WalterBenitez]

Gooden will break Dirk's nose:eyebrows

:toast

Better hope Bass and Dampier decide to play like they usually do also, or this is going back to D-town 0-2.

[VBM]

Big game tonight. I think tonight's game rests on Drew Gooden of all people. If he gives us 15 tonight off the bench (and makes some of Dallas' bigs play some defense), we'll get the job done. It'll be another close game though...damn cardiac-kid Spurs

We're going to need Finley and Mason to score a lot too. I don't expect both to shoot lights out again but we can't afford one or both to be off.

biggest game of the season tonight, lets see what anyone not named Duncan & Parker are made out of :ihit It's pressure time baby :toast

Who is Berara?

[fraga]

Yeah Gooden needs to keep doing what he's been doing...the ball WILL go in eventually...I like his energy and speed...

[Dr. Gonzo]

I predict Bonner will go for 22pts 12reb.

I predict Bonner will go for 22pts 12reb.

now that's a real bold prediction.

I predict Celtics, Spurs and Blazers all will win big in their game 2s

[G-Nob]

You don't decide the nature of your prediction. Someone else will decide if its "bold".

[ManuTP9]

I think we might pull this one out if everything goes well.

[lurker]

Yeah, I think the Spurs will probably win if they score more point than the Mavericks. Just a feeling I have.

Why the hell do they put us on as the 2nd game of a double header when both teams are in the Central Time Zone? WTF is that all about.

i understand and East coast game followed by a West coast game but this is just stupid.

Wouldn't it make more sense to put us as the first game at 7 central and then the Lakers or Portland at 9:30?

TNT is Eff'd up.

Well i will be at the game on Thursday and Saturday in Dallas so they can show it wherever the F#ck they want!

Welcome to four years ago. The Spurs have had a first round game on NBATV nearly every year.

Welcome to four years ago. The Spurs have had a first round game on NBATV nearly every year.

Not last year. I'm fairly sure that the 1st round against Phoenix went entirely on TNT, ABC and ESPN last year, since I didn't have NBA TV back then and I saw all the games.

I'm not really feeling playoff fever. Hope the Spurs win tonight!

[jdev82]

expect to see less of kurt, whom the matchups do not favor. expect more bonner plays offensivley and maybe a little zone in the 2nd or 3rd depending how hot they are. alot of lane clogging stuff. make em' beat you from the perimeter. some good rotation and a healthy dose of bruuuuuuce bowen is what im waiting for. bowen on dirk late in the game, still bonner on dirk to start. bruce comes in with jason terry to stop momentum. less reliance on rmj. he was forcing it too much early on the other day. offensivley, expect more clearouts. more high picks for tony and more tp jumpshooting. penetrate and kick, back to the basics. more minutes from bench players will prolly also happen, with the freshness from the bench to give the defensive intensity in the late 3rd as is needed. gooden prolly to play with the bench more than the starters. 3rd 1/4 lineup prolly something like: tony finley ime gooden kurt/fabri. just my two cents. i have reasons for all this, but my fingers hurt. ask if you want.

[sonic21]

Yeah, last year was nice because they got the matchup with the team the networks loved to carry. Seems like I've missed three or four playoff games because of NBATV, the only playoff games I've ever missed as a Spurs fan.

I don't know why they can't have a game on ESPN and TNT on the same night instead of carrying it where a fraction of people can see it, but that's why the NBA will never be the NFL.

What they don't understand is that they drive people to discover pirate sources over the internet, and instead of bringing more fans to watch the game they alienate them from the official sources. But hey, they've started to slowly transition to digital media, so I'm sure they'll figure it out sooner than later.

Or later than sooner. Just as streaming audio was gaining a foothold they went in and created Audio League Pass and started trying to charge for it before the technology was ready. Ten years later they still don't have all the technical kinks worked out of it, but at least now it's free when it does work. I actually listened to Spurs games streaming WOAI at one point before the NBA fucked it up.

TD about to match his FTA total for last game. I don't want dirk to get in foul trouble thats when everything went wrong last game. I say single cover him and don't let anyone else get off.

Nice hustle Tony!

lol Bonner just stepped out of Dampier's way and left Mason to deal with him.

Because Dirk was in the corner. Bonner couldn't have done anything that Mason didn't do.

dallas doesn't score a FG in the first 4 minutes and we have a 3 point lead to show for it.

the team can't pussy-out and rely on the refs, if you're gonna lose it when they take your hands out, go stronger, it's the Playoffs.

I'm having mixed emotions about watching Parker use this much energy early on. He had Bonner wide open for a three on one of his drives and didn't even look that direction. He has to find a way to get his teammates involved. He can't do it by himself.

[Obstructed_View]

Parker has 15 points in the first quarter; how much stronger can he go?

[Ice009]

TP showing the world tonight.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

As great of a start TD and TP are having, I hope they don't wear out as the game continues.

Hopefully our bench (whom haven't taken many shots in fairness to them) will give us the extra push.

If you don't see Hill when Barea comes in, you can start to worry.

[Chomag]

So given the Spurs' ability to give up double digit leads, should we be hoping they just keep the lead around 9 as long as possible?
I have been thinking the same thing. Almost would rather the game stay close the way the Spurs play.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

So given the Spurs' ability to give up double digit leads, should we be hoping they just keep the lead around 9 as long as possible?
I think the game will only be Spurs with a 4 point cushion at half time. We're a two man team right now....

[Creation88]

someone will have to step up later when Tony gets a seat. i hope someone can create . . . Mason i'm looking at you.

[Ice009]

I'm having mixed emotions about watching Parker use this much energy early on. He had Bonner wide open for a three on one of his drives and didn't even look that direction. He has to find a way to get his teammates involved. He can't do it by himself.

FUCK Bonner.

WHy the fuck would you pass it to Bonner. Weak take.

Now tell me if Parker had someone else other than Bonner open and I might agree with you.

[Horse]

The #1 question how does Pop start Bonner and keep him in there I mean why not pound them down low with TD and Drew.

[Chomag]

So far the Spurs seem to be doing all the same things as last game. At least as far as I have noticed. Glad we are looking good but I can't forget that we had a 13 pt lead last game.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Time to sit TP and bring in Hill. We can't afford another exhausted TP in the 4th.

If he mentioned TP being tired he would be guilty of bias for the Spurs. The truth is JJ is the only PG that can stay in front of Parker with geezer Kidd...

[Pistons < Spurs]

The San Antonio Parkers will beat you!!!





4, maybe 5 years ago, I used to really bag on TP. Thought he was totally over-rated. Hated that he didn't have a J to save his life. threw up wayyy to many 3's that he'd rarely hit. Basically thought he was riding Timmy's coattails.

But year by year, he's accepted a larger role. Played more to his strengths (fewer 3's). Became a better distributor. Improved his shooting. Props for him and shame on me. He's really developed into one hell of a player.

Correction uninformed announcer. Parker didn't do well against Kittles.

[Creation88]

i hope we're seeing the Championship-style Spurs tonight not the chump style.

[ulosturedge]

WHen JJ Barea comes in I want to see Parker post that midget up and back him into the rim!

[Libri]

Gooden gets an offensive rebound

[Obstructed_View]

FUCK Bonner.

WHy the fuck would you pass it to Bonner. Weak take.

Now tell me if Parker had someone else other than Bonner open and I might agree with you.

Bonner should be getting the ball if he's open at the three point line. The only value he has is if he's shooting, and he hasn't been getting open that much lately.

Nice O board by Gooden.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony Parker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Awesome Tony

[VaSpursFan]

can we get someone else to score? TP is going to tire himself out again

[Creation88]

good drive

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

unbelievable! Keep it up Tony!

[024]

parker going for 101 pts!!!

[ulosturedge]

Lay up drill for TP lmao!

[Creation88]

motherfucker dirk is the fucking glass man. fuck refs.

[Libri]

TP is possessed

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

19/26 :wow

But how are we going to go when he sits is the question.

[KSeal]

Parker is so annoying to watch, SOMEONE LAY HIM OUT ALREADY!! Don't let the dude have 50 layups in a quarter, stupid Mavs.

[Ice009]

Parker is fucking sick. Forget CP3.

[Chomag]

Under 2 minutes left in the 1st ans still TP is in...

Guess pop doesnt want him for the 4th

[Creation88]

tony killer in . .. barea. lol

[lurker]

lol Kidd is useless.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruce on Barea

[spursfan1000]

They are being too sensitive on Dirk.

[Biggems]

that wasnt a foul on Thomas

[Obstructed_View]

can we get someone else to score? TP is going to tire himself out again

What Parker's currently doing isn't all that tiring.

[Creation88]

fuck dirk gets whatever call he wants. 2nd coming.

[Obstructed_View]

No Hill. Spurs are fucked. /idiotspursfan

[TimDunkem]

Mahinmi just coughed out something.

[Creation88]

slam!

[spursfan1000]

Drew Gooden!

[024]

that was a nice pg play by mason.

[VaSpursFan]

great pass by mason...wow

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

If he mentioned TP being tired he would be guilty of bias for the Spurs. The truth is JJ is the only PG that can stay in front of Parker with geezer Kidd...

Making the observation that someone was clearly exhausted is not biased.

The point is that JJ is no stopper. What Mike's saying is like suggesting that Sasha stopped Manu last year, but omitting the fact that Manu was on one leg.

[Pistons < Spurs]

That's what I want to see from Gooden!

[Oink Oink]

lol ian dropping his gum:lol

[lefty]

:lmao

Gooden dunk :downspin:

[Obstructed_View]

Gooden with a dunk, time to take him out.

[Admidave50]

As timvp mentionned before, TP has the ability to bounce back from poor performances. Hope he can keep up the great plays.

Go Spurs Go

[Chomag]

uh oh... Drew just dunked. We might be seeing Bonner all game for sure now. lol

[phxspurfan]

"Dwight Gooden"

[lurker]

At least some Spurs fans are consistent with their whining about refs. They do it even when the Spurs are winning. :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

No George Hill. :rolleyes

Because Udoka is such a better option. :pctoss

[td4mvp21]

Wow what a bullshit call. Quit fucking pampering Dirk.

[Creation88]

fucking bullshit calls for dirk. fuck that.

[Spurs Brazil]

BS call

FUck the refs

[peskypesky]

Just checked to see the score...I swore I wouldn't watch Game 2 if Bonner started, and I'm holding to it. Fuck Pop. Stupid asshole.

[Obstructed_View]

Wow, that's fucked.

[Biggems]

ok if they are going to give Dirk these calls, they better start giving them to Timmy

[baseline bum]

That call was cock-shit

[VaSpursFan]

gooden's length bothered dirk on that jumper and then forced him to drive...hmmmm...are we on to something Pop???? no more Bonner and more Gooden

[spursfan1000]

Why are Dirks teeth so yellow? Too much dick sucking?

[phxspurfan]

Bonner back in

[phxspurfan]

up by 9 with Bonner in, let's see how we do

[Chomag]

Bonner back in!!! We got this now!

[Biggems]

Jason Terry did the same thing to Tony that Thomas did to Dirk......Tony got no FTs, but Dirk did.
