[Spursmania]

[ElNono]

Ironically, Hill is the one breaking the 3 point shooting streak.

[Spursmania]

Finley in for Manu.

[jcrod]

If Pop starts Finley and Bonner to begin the season, I won't know whether to laugh or cry.

Both, I'd probably start crying then start laughing.

Hill with a lay-up. He has 10 points.

[ElNono]

Manu just instantly changed this game with his energy..it's amazing what happens when you insert an energy player/athlete in the game against a young athletic team that is running all over us..

KFU-wXsRhic

[Blackjack]

George Hill..

You can only hope to contain him.:smokin

[Chieflion]

Can we trade Parker now?

[kbrury]

We better sign Hill to a lifetime contract as soon as we can lol.

[HarlemHeat37]

the usual NBA stop them for 23 seconds and they score some garbage at the buzzer..

[Chieflion]

Hill, you are starting to suck.

[HarlemHeat37]

Hill with a stupid shot..took that one from Manu's bag of tricks..

[ElNono]

What's up with Jeff Green playing the whole game so far??

[NRHector]

Damn u for rick-rolling me!

[Flux451]

It probably won't stand but the second unit sounds interesting

HILL MANU MASON RATLIFF MCDYESS

[Blackjack]

Duncan with another block.

[Chieflion]

Durant has 15 points already. Somebody stop the guy.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan's defense looks like it's back, the loss of weight definitely looks good..his offense needs a lot of rhythm though..

[kbrury]

According to Bill Schoening, 2.

I think he meant finley who has three now.

[ElNono]

Starting lineup back in...

[Spurs Brazil]

Thunder FG-54.8%

[Interrohater]

Damn u for rick-rolling me!




always fun to get rick-rolled though :lol
haha, it's hilarious when you're all "oh shit! a link!" and then "awww...asshole."

[SKINNYPIMP210]

where the "F" is Blair???

[HarlemHeat37]

RJ and Finley are both getting torched by Durant..please give Bogans and Hairston a try..

[NRHector]

Durant has 15 points already. Somebody stop the guy.Bruce where are you:depressed

[Blackjack]

How's Jefferson's D lookin' Harlem?

Not so good?

[Spursmania]

Finley hits a 3.

[ElNono]

Durant doing whatever he wants...
This lineup sucks...

[HarlemHeat37]

Etan Thomas is having the game of his life..

[ElNono]

Fin trey

[Dex]

Just know that you could have been Rick-rolled.

I tried to warn them.

[Spursmania]

Duncan with rebound. Bonner misses a 3. Rebound Thunda.

[Spursmania]

Pop calls a timeout to discuss the defensive suckage.

[Blackjack]

I think he meant finley who has three now.

They were both off of 'Dyess passes but I guess they could have credited the TO to Fin on the catch.

[Interrohater]

I tried to warn them.
it was your comment that inspired it :lol

[Mr. Body]

Finley + Bonner in the lineup = teh suck.

[ulosturedge]

Durant is destroying us lol. Guess he is keeping up with his quota. Man if I start some sportsbetting this year i am definitely putting money on OKC to beat us. Id so get paid out lol.

[Dex]

A good Rick-rolling never seems to get old.

I wonder if Astley is getting any royalties out of any of this.

[ElNono]

Bonner finally has a rebound...

[ElNono]

Manu in for Bonner....

[HarlemHeat37]

How's Jefferson's D lookin' Harlem?

Not so good?

Not as bad as Durant's total makes it look, but he can't keep up with Durant's quickness..he contested him well on 2 Js in the half-court, but he hasn't been able to stay with him on the iso drives and off screens..

It's hard to tell against Durant though, he's one of the best scorers in the NBA nowadays..

[Spursmania]

Finley hits another 3.

[kbrury]

A good Rick-rolling never seems to get old.

I wonder if Astley is getting any royalties out of any of this.

I wonder if anyone has sued him for getting Rick Rolled. Wait nvm I have an idea.

[Dex]

lmao, Spurs have 8 threes already and Thunder throw a zone?

[completely deck]

8 tre's in the first half

[Spursmania]

Offensive foul as Manu takes the charge.

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ working well with TD

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL Manu's flopping is back baby!!..

[Spursmania]

[ElNono]

Fin and 1

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL Fin made a contested layup..shocked..

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley and one from TD

[picnroll]

Duncan 0-3, Parker 1 - 6. 2 points between them.

[Interrohater]

I wonder if anyone has sued him for getting Rick Rolled. Wait nvm I have an idea.
:lmao

[Spursmania]

2 point lead Spurs. Thunda fouled by Manu. FT's coming up.

[Obstructed_View]

So all the talk about a stream for it was a joke then?

[Blackjack]

Not as bad as Durant's total makes it look, but he can't keep up with Durant's quickness..he contested him well on 2 Js in the half-court, but he hasn't been able to stay with him on the iso drives and off screens..

It's hard to tell against Durant though, he's one of the best scorers in the NBA nowadays..

There's no shame in getting lit up by Durant but I respect your opinion enough to know that you know the difference between getting abused because of bad defense or a great player just being a great player.

[Spursmania]

Offensive foul on Duncan. 9 to's for Spurs.
Manu steals the ball and gets fouled.

[ElNono]

TD Offensive Foul

[Spursmania]

Finley hits another 3 to tell us all to STFU...

[HarlemHeat37]

Finley and Bonner's stats look a lot better than they're actually playing..they're both hot from outside..

[ElNono]

Fin another trey

[Interrohater]

So all the talk about a stream for it was a joke then?
no, atdhe had a link for it earlier, so did other sites, but they removed it just before tipoff

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley another 33333333333333333

[Spursmania]

Parker long jumper is good. 3 point lead Spurs.

[Spursmania]

TP with a drive passes to Fin-misses.
Foul on Manu called--3 fouls on Manu!

[kbrury]

All spurs fans at the Erwin Center Im convinced :toast. I guess if your on an Oklahoma team youve betrayed Texas.

[HarlemHeat37]

Green has shitted on both Bonner and Finley all day so far..

Very impressed with Duncan's defense..hopefully he can do this all year, especially when his offense has sucked like it has so far..

[ElNono]

What's scary is that we're 9-13 from 3pt land, and the game is still tied...

Our defense has to show up...

[Interrohater]

All spurs fans at the Erwin Center Im convinced :toast. I guess if your on an Oklahoma team youve betrayed Texas.
there's probably a lot of people there who have no idea who he is. Sad, but true

[Spursmania]

FYI: Oberto 9 rebounds for the Wizards' win tonight.

[HarlemHeat37]

What's scary is that we're 9-13 from 3pt land, and the game is still tied...

Our defense has to show up...

they've significantly outplayed us..it's one of those games where we've lived and died by the 3, which is exactly what happened in a lot of games against a number of bad teams last year..

which is what I meant by Bonner and Finley not playing as well as their stats show..they're making 3s, but they've both been horrible on D tonight..

[Spursmania]

TP penetrates. TD's shot is good. 5 point lead.

[Spursmania]

TP in for the drive took it right to the rookie. It's good and one!

[TIMMYD!]

Timmy!

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan makes the easy shot, Parker being Parker..

[ElNono]

TP and 1

[Spurs Brazil]

TD scores
TP and one

[Spurs Brazil]

Mike Monroe: Spurs are very small right now ... TD plus Parker, Hill, Jefferson, and Manu

[ElNono]

they've significantly outplayed us..it's one of those games where we've lived and died by the 3, which is exactly what happened in a lot of games against a number of bad teams last year..

which is what I meant by Bonner and Finley not playing as well as their stats show..they're making 3s, but they've both been horrible on D tonight..

The D has to show up... we can't play TD 30 mins against these scrub teams...

[bbarry]

10-12 from 3pt range. f cking sick

[Spursmania]

TD is fouled. 2 shots coming up for him.
makes them both.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan can't play against Krstic for some reason..same shit happened last year..it's like Tim purposely sucks against these scrubs to make them feel good(see: Darko last year too)..

[AussieFanKurt]

wow, just arrived now.
that is some goood 3 point shooting
good to see hill continuing to thrive

[HarlemHeat37]

nice D by Jefferson there..

[ElNono]

RJ quietly scored 9.... just what the doctor ordered...

[Blackjack]

6pts 6rbds 3ast 2blks for Duncan so far.

[HarlemHeat37]

wow, Westbrook..any other team, that doesn't go in..

[Blackjack]

RJ for 3!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu + 22 in 13 minutes

[Spursmania]

Hill for a 3 short. Westbrook hits shot. Spurs lead 62-56.

RJ hits a 3-assist from TP!!

[completely deck]

RJ for 3!

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ 12pts in 5 shots

[ElNono]

San Antonio 65, Oklahoma City 56
HALFTIME

[Blackjack]

Duncan can't play against Krstic for some reason..same shit happened last year..it's like Tim purposely sucks against these scrubs to make them feel good(see: Darko last year too)..

Is he playing small and not being demonstrative with his moves?

[Mr. Body]

Jefferson is gonna be awesome on this team.

[boutons_deux]

130 - 112 scoring rate?

[alfahdlan]

so now we are outshooting everybody. should we outdefend them next?

[ElNono]

We're having a good shooting night... but it's fool's gold.
I doubt Pop will lit them up too much considering it's preseason, but we need to get A LOT better on defense...

[Interrohater]

130 - 112 scoring rate?
yea, that's silly. I don't expect to see the same style of play out of the half

[MRduncan2010]

Release the DEbeast

[completely deck]

Man who was the genius who started Finley for his 15 pts? Sheesh. :rolleyes

[ElNono]

Man who was the genius who started Finley for his 15 pts? Sheesh. :rolleyes

Yeah, but Durant has 19 and Green 14... can't just look at one side of the court...

[Chieflion]

11-14 from three point land. Hill is 2-5. The rest of the guys are perfect.

[completely deck]

Yeah, but Durant has 19 and Green 14... can't just look at one side of the court...

Game's not over yet.

[alfahdlan]

manu is +22

[kobyz]

Finley will be great for us this season, we just need to rid of Mason - i don't like him!

[Riverwalkman]

Spurs played like a all-star team, everyone is involved, take some shots, and poor defense. I think that is it, to avoid injury and get everyone in shape.

[HarlemHeat37]

Is he playing small and not being demonstrative with his moves?

not really, he just isn't playing aggressive at all, and he isn't coming out aggressively on D vs. Krstic..

[Spursmania]

Boxscore so far:
Bonner -5
Finley -6
TP +1
Manu +22:wow

[ElNono]

Game's not over yet.

It doesn't matter... We just gave 56 points to the Thunder in one half...

[ElNono]

TP missed a lot of layups...
He'll be better in the 2nd half...

[Interrohater]

Bonner sux, Finley is not a good choice to start.

When I read the starting lineup I was like
http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww96/interrohater/wtf-1.jpg

[Chomag]

Good game so far but it looks like same ol Pop sticking with the vets. Those young players need some time too more so in my opinion.

[loveforthegame]

So Finley is the only one who guarded Green and Durant tonight? I seem to remember Green lighting up Bonner and Durant having his way with Jefferson too.

[Mr. Body]

I can deal with one of Bonner or Finley in the starting lineup, but not both. Hopefully this is Pop getting it out of his system.

[silverblackfan]

TP missed a lot of layups...
He'll be better in the 2nd half...

I agree. Tony will make it up in the second half.

[angelbelow]

Damn just got home from class!

[TMTTRIO]

Manu +22:wow

which is weird because it looks like he hasn't done much at all out there.

[ElNono]

So Finley is the only one who guarded Green and Durant tonight? I seem to remember Green lighting up Bonner and Durant having his way with Jefferson too.

Exactly...

[Interrohater]

Yea, I guess I'm ok with Fin in the starting 5, but Bonner? And yes, we all know he can score and he's talented, blah blah. He should not be a starting center in the NBA. He'd be a god overseas, but come on.

[Spursmania]

20 -17 rebounding edge to Spurs. 9 TO's.

[Spursmania]

Finley, Bonner, Parker, Jefferson and Duncan again

[lennyalderette]

can we trade parker now?
shut up moron

[Chomag]

Finely and Bonner starting again for the second half! This is hell a funny!

[Spursmania]

TD scores!

[ElNono]

Here we go again...

[ace3g]

tip in by duncan off a Jefferson miss

[Chieflion]

shut up moron
It is supposed to be a joke because of Hill's play. You are a dumbass.

[ace3g]

Duncan 10 boards in 18 minutes

[angelbelow]

wow high scoring game.

[Interrohater]

Man, that's it. I'm tired of Bonner. Go Thunder Go!

[Spursmania]

Finley gets fouled. Shooting FT's. Both good.

[ElNono]

TD 10 and 8... and he started slow...

[Spursmania]

2 free throws coming up for Timmy.
3 fouls on Durant.

[Interrohater]

TD 10 and 8... and he started slow...
yea, no ish...He's the absolute definition of steady and consistent

[loveforthegame]

Finley has 17 points on 6 shots?

[Spursmania]

70-58 Spurs.

[ElNono]

Thunder missing quite a bit now...

RJ is Fouled by Durant. His 4th!

Spurs and Jefferson can finally get the other team's starting SF into foul trouble, since now they actually have play defense against Jefferson, that will help down the line

[ElNono]

Fin 5-5 from trey...

These are all the ones that didn't go against Dallas last playoffs...

[mexpurs21]

Where are all the "cut Finley" fans?

[HarlemHeat37]

One of those games for Finley..I don't know if this is a good thing, it'll just encourage Pop..

[xellos88330]

I guess Finley isn't wanting a free paycheck. Looks like he is wanting to work for it.

[Bartleby]

Finley has 17 points on 6 shots?

20 now, which is more than Durant in fewer minutes and half as many shot attempts.

[Chomag]

Heh, good to hear Finely making shots but if Pop plays him this many minutes hew will surly fizzle out only 5 games into the season.

[Spursmania]

It was Harden...

Thought I heard the announcer say Durant. Damn...

[completely deck]

Start Finley? Slit my wrists now, I want to die. :rolleyes

[Bartleby]

Maybe Fin has been lurking here.

[Spursmania]

Fin 5-5 from trey...

These are all the ones that didn't go against Dallas last playoffs...
