By Joe Alexander

The Spurs play the New Orleans Hornets today at 7 p.m. at the AT&T Center in their season opener. The live chat tips off at 6:30 with Mike Monroe of the Express-News.

George Hill update: From a Spurs news release at 4:22 p.m. today: "The San Antonio Spurs announced today that they have picked up the option for the 2010-11 season for guard George Hill."

[duncan228]

NBA Shootaround on now.

[bigdog]

Yes! This last hour before the game is gonna kill me!

[lennyalderette]

man i think we were in a time warp this whole offseason!! thank jesus the season is here!!!!!!!! now timmy d time

[zepn]

Where is No Limit?

We can't start this shit without our marching orders!

[Mavs<Spurs]

What is the latest word on Tim, Manu and Tony's health ?

:flag:

With Finely and Bonner starting, our best defensive team won't be starting.

David West and Omeka Okafor (sp?) can both abuse Bonner.

Not a good match up.

Oh and no rebounds from Bonner either.

just sayin

[Crookshanks]

I won't get home from work until 7:30 - so I hope I can get WOAI on my radio here in north Texas. Sometimes it comes in good and sometimes it doesn't.

[duncan228]

What is the latest word on Tim, Manu and Tony's health ?

All healthy. Parker is the only one in game shape though. Duncan and Manu will need time to get there.

Duncan will be wearing a brace on his left knee all season. But the knee seems okay, no pain. I expect to see his right knee sleeved or braced as the season goes on.

any tips ? how did you bet ?

I bet $500 in the affirmative that we will win by 9 points (but that seems somewhat optimistic).

[DAF86]

I just saw on ESPN that the Spurs starting 5 will be: Tony, Finley, RJ, McDyess and Duncan. Is that right?

[aksyunstar]

omg. cant believe it game starts in 30 mins.

[The Truth #6]

This pregame is shockingly bad. The writing is horrible. I actually like Avery on this show because he seems like the only one with any dignity left.

[duncan228]

Joe Alexander: I think somebody lied to the computer. The first five listed for the Spurs are Hairston, Bogans, Ginobili, Duncan and Ratliff. That's not going happen.

[TIMMYD!]

In the NBA shootaround, they did a Dancing With the Stars style judging of five teams: Celtics, Cavaliers, Magic, Lakers, and Spurs and our team got two 10s and a 9.

[duncan228]

:lol

Joe Alexander: If I see something that looks real, I'll update immediately.

[TIMMYD!]

Mark Jackson is a dumbass, he thinks Rasheed was the best acquisition of the offseason.

No dignity. Exactly.

Watching one after another Disney ESPN Drone run on and on about their cookie cutter mickey mouse Lakers and Cavs is disgusting.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Mark Jackson is a dumbass, he thinks Rasheed was the best acquisition of the offseason.

When Ron Artest, Vince Carter, Richard Jefferson are all acquired, Rasheed is the best ? Rasheed is a role player now. The others are top flight players.

[Riverwalkman]

Duncan

Joe Alexander: Spurs starters: Tony Parker, Michael Finley, Richard Jefferson, Matt Bonner and Tim Duncan.

Joe Alexander: Spurs starters: Tony Parker, Michael Finley, Richard Jefferson, Matt Bonner and Tim Duncan.

There we go. That looks much better. I expect Mason and McDyess to eventually move into the starting lineup as the season goes along.

I think 4 would be a good number. :downspin:

[biziofromdowntown]

Here we r again! Run for a ring Spurs!

[Chieflion]

I don't care what anyone says. Orlando is the favourites in the East. They are dominating their opponent. It is so unfair.

[EmptyMan]

Peanut Princess will go on a rampage tonight.

Duncan with the ball hug. :)

It is starting. Go Spurs go.

And Matt Bonner let's West score.

[Cherry]

[TIMMYD!]

Tim Rebound.

[scampers]

I'm not going to lie... Dyess looks good in silver and black. I'm glad he landed with the Spurs to be honest... hope he works out for you guys.

[Chieflion]

Shoot. Bad start.

[Chomag]

The Building looks very empty :(

[Ice009]

LOL Bonner fucked up twice.

[TIMMYD!]

Another offensive rebound by Tim.

[biziofromdowntown]

No streams?

[Death In June]

Finely is starting over mase? Mase, who completely sucks chode off the bench? Meh. The finely/bonner combo, even more meh.

[iilluzioN]

God damn mother fucker!!!!!!!

Duncan ripped it away from Paul. :lol

Two turnovers already.

[Chieflion]

Richard Jefferson scores his first Spurs NBA point.

[TIMMYD!]

RJ with the block!

[EmantheSpursFan]

pm link please

[Ice009]

I just said that I would be reluctant to trade Bonner in the Sjax thread, but not anymore.

Wow I forget how crappy Bonner could be.

[TIMMYD!]

Ah it's great looking at RJ in black and white.

[EmptyMan]

bonner and fliney do fucking nothing out there

[duncan228]

No illegal link conversation during the regular season. See the FAQ's.

[Chieflion]

Shit. Chris Paul.

[Quiet Strength]

blah bonner still blows ass

[Spursfan092120]

apparently ball movement is overrated

[Creation88]

well well well. looks like nothing's changed. bad shot selection, TOs, and Bonner still sucks. :D

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Stop feeding Bonner and RJ. Neither is hot. Bloody stupid. And I hate this lineup.

[TIMMYD!]

Timmy!

[Ice009]

has anyone got International League pass broadband???

Is the audio out of sync for you guys?

[Spurs Brazil]

A lot of Js, we need to take the ball to the basket

[Chieflion]

son Peja never would have blocked that shot
I know. Shame your coach won't play the guy last year.

[Creation88]

why the fuck did we shoot 4 3s already?

[biziofromdowntown]

I thought better...

[duncan228]

sorry

It's okay. They were all over here in the preseason, but SpursTalk can get in trouble during the season. Just want to protect this site we all love. :)

[iilluzioN]

oh shit i thought i replyed on that game blog thread, plz delete this thread MODS

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Finley and Bonner in the starting five. Gee, I wonder why we have the slow start. Pull your head out, Pop.

[DeadlyDynasty]

son Peja never would have blocked that shot

no, he'd be the one getting blocked

[Spurs Brazil]

has anyone got International League pass broadband???

Is the audio out of sync for you guys?

Yes, that sucks

[Chieflion]

I want Manu and Blair in now.

[spurspokesman]

well well well. looks like nothing's changed. bad shot selection, TOs, and Bonner still sucks. :D
Yup. He sucks. Add finley to the list to

[DAF86]

Does Pop really expects to win the ship with Finley and Bonner in the starting line-up?

[koopa]

this is horrible.......why the fuck does pop like slow and washed up players so much??? bonner should never be allowed to play more then 5 minutes and finleys career is done.........

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

why the fuck did we shoot 4 3s already?

NO is packing it in with Finley and Bonner out there and daring those two to beat them. Pretty simple gameplan.

[quentin_compson]

We miss a lot of open shots, but well, it's the beginning of the RS.

West is on fire as always when playing the Spurs.

[Riverwalkman]

poor start...

[Creation88]

shooting 22%!! lol

[kbrury]

Not much penetration so far

[Ice009]

Anyone with ILP broadband? Curious if your audio is out of sync.

[sonic21]

let's tank already

[lennyalderette]

no is going straight to bonner and finley why in the hell cant pop get that !!!! west hasnt missed a shot with bonner defending

[Chieflion]

He is not even playing Roger Mason. Anyone thinks he is maybe in the doghouse?

[iilluzioN]

man wtf do we have fin and bonner in the starting line up, where the fuck is manu, and fucking blair

[Creation88]

kens 5 HD is kinda icky

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Very disappointed to see Bonner and Finley start. How about Mason, at least?

And move the fucking ball!

[bbarry]

fuck u

[koopa]

chris paul is an idiot.......tony is nowhere near his level........i don't get why he slobs on his knob so damn much

[Chieflion]

Bonner offensive rebound.

[TIMMYD!]

Bonner with the hookshot?

[Chieflion]

And he scores.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Manu in, Finley out :tu

Blair at the scorer's table...

[Chomag]

I keep thinking I"m watching a video of last year. I keep checking to make sure my DVR is cleared out lol

[Chieflion]

Okafor is owning Tim out there.

[Creation88]

wtf? Manu, Duncan, Tony, RJ out there and Matt Bonner with the running hook? did i miss something?

[BRHornet45]

sons rick astley is shooting the ball like crazy tonight

[Chieflion]

Manu tres.

[spursrocksocks]

ginobliiiiiiiiiiii

[jag]

There he is!

[EmptyMan]

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

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

has anyone got International League pass broadband???

Is the audio out of sync for you guys?

Yup, and I'm trying to chat with them about it and it won't work. Typical ILP bullshit. :pctoss

[dynamodr3w]

Hey guys I never post. In fact, I haven't posted in years. I had to come on and say something about this..

Did Tim Duncan start his first game?

Blair should be starting.. Crazy coaching move.

[Chieflion]

Bastard. Rebound, motherfuckers. We want Blair.

[EmptyMan]

Manu, Grey Sock Assassin.

[Creation88]

um Tony Parker to the court please

[u4lakers14]

oh shit i thought i replyed on that game blog thread, plz delete this thread MODS

of course you did. especially when you were typing in the thread title.

[BRHornet45]

Wright WTF was that!!!

[Death In June]

It's a relief seeing manu out there again.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Dice in, let's see what he can do on West...

[TIMMYD!]

Tim rebound really well.

[Creation88]

wtf! stop with the 3s

[TIMMYD!]

Peja Airball.

[Chomag]

WOW! Pop is allready going all out with small ball!!!hahaa

[TIMMYD!]

Tim looking great.

[Chieflion]

Sons, you were right. Peja airball.

[timtonymanu]

sons peja airball.

[Ice009]

Yes, that sucks

Have you tried contacting their support. I can't for some reason. Really pissing me off the out of sync audio.

[BRHornet45]

LMAO!!! PEJA's first shot of the season is an AIR BALL!!! nothing changed!!

[DeadlyDynasty]

Peja airball...i feel for BR

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It's amazing what happens when you take your sloths out of the game (Finley and Bonner).

[JohnnySixString]

First game of the season. Let's not start freaking out because they are playing like shit. Save that for the second game! :lol

[Chieflion]

Ginobili, you motherfucker.

[mVp]

OMG stop shooting 3's...

[DeadlyDynasty]

what a stupid shot

[Chieflion]

The defense is back.

[TIMMYD!]

'Dice J good. First FG as a Spur congratulations.

[spursrocksocks]

Duncan beasting and mcD 3

[Chieflion]

Antonio McDyess scores his first point in the NBA as a Spur.

[Spurs Brazil]

Antonio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[duncan228]

Did Tim Duncan start his first game?

Yes.

[Chieflion]

The defense rules. Spurs basketball is back, folks.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ice - can you let support know about it?

Now THIS is a better lineup! :)

[DeadlyDynasty]

Peja with th SC violation...good start

[NickiRasgo]

Duncan already had 7 rebounds.

[Creation88]

pop still playing with line ups

[Spurs Brazil]

Great D

[TIMMYD!]

Tim with 7 rebounds already.

[Chomag]

I dont understand, we add more youth, and slashers yet so far it looks we want to live and die by the 3 again

[kbrury]

hmmm bonner and finley go out defense gets better?????

[Creation88]

9-2 run with Manu in the line up

[Spurs Brazil]

Ice - can you let support know about it?

Now THIS is a better lineup! :)

I'm also trying to chat with them but I can't :bang

[quentin_compson]

Dice hits his first one, very nice.

[EmptyMan]

I think I just saw Blair holding a stick with Peja's head on it.


His actual head!?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Ginobili upset with himself

[spurspokesman]

Yes.
Finley and bonner starts and we have a lead. Not bad. Were in good shape

[Creation88]

what's up with Manu's black shoes and gray socks? lol

[Ice009]

Ice - can you let support know about it?

Now THIS is a better lineup! :)

I can't get through to their support. So it seems the whole stream is like that for everyone.

Have you tried getting through to them.

Freaking annoying. Nice way to watch the first game for us ;).

[jag]

After the initial shock of seeing Bonner and finley walk out as part of the starting lineup...i realized how deep the spurs are if they stay healthy.

[Spurs Brazil]

The lineuo with Manu and Antonio looks much better

[Chomag]

Dice, Timmy, Jefferson, Tony, and Mason (or Manu).... why is this starting line up so hard to comprehend ?

[lennyalderette]

man timmy looks good out there doesnt look so slow

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I think most people probably underestimate Dice's value - they certainly did during the Sheed hysteria.

Dice will knock down 18fters better than any other big out there, he'll rebound hard, and he is a great post defender. This guy is a perfect Spur.

:D

[fraga]

What game are you watching...Bonner is a bonified starter in the NBA...:rolleyes

[Creation88]

that's such a bad shot by Manu

[DAF86]

what's up with Manu's black shoes and gray socks? lol

He's a natural rebel.

[vanishing_dude]

any streaming link?

[Creation88]

these 3s are mystifying me

[spursrocksocks]

fuck that shot by mason was flat

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Blair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TIMMYD!]

Even the ESPN commentators know he is THE BEAST.

[duncan228]

Big ovation for Blair.

[Chieflion]

Blair is in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason Jr is ice cold
