11/6 - Spurs @ Trailblazers Game blog

[45 bank shot]

stop chucking 3s

[HarlemHeat37]

Finley and Manu with stupid 3s when we have momentum..what a surprise..

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck finley

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fcuk i see finley on the fcuking floor

[SpurOutofTownFan]

ohh fucking stop throwing 3s.. for the love of god. that was chance to get down to 6...

[007nites]

single digits. push, push, push...

[Death In June]

Tony is not available and Hill has to get some rest, so someone who isn't a natural point guard is going to have to come in for a few minutes to give Hill some relief.

I do hope we don't see it in the future, though, once Tony is back. I hate it.Ginobli>Mason at PG.

[EricB]

Pop

Take Finley out for the love of god..

He's got NOTHING LEFT!

[Chomag]

FOr the last time, STOP chunking 3s!!!!! lol

[angelbelow]

Damn too bad we couldnt hit one of those open 3s, that would have been nice

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why oh why shoot fucking 3s when you could but it to 6 with a layup????????? :pctoss

[EricB]

Pop

Take Finley out for the love of god..

He's got NOTHING LEFT!

[Chieflion]

Hill should be back in. He is the only one who has balls to go get some.

[ducks]

Fuck finley

manu three was worse then finley

[EmptyMan]

I can't wait to see Hill in his prime.

Refs call a lot of soft calls on him. Once he gets respect he will be lockdown since you have to butter up the refs in this league.

[hoopdreams11]

come on fin that was way off

[Ice009]

Someone should tell Manu and Finley about shout selection. Oh and a fucking defensive rebound would be great too.

[timvp]

Don't agree with this small ball. Should have stuck with Blair.

[45 bank shot]

fuck the 3s, now we finally have someone who can score inside, just freakin drive in

[ElNono]

Hill needs rest

He does?

[007nites]

We need Timmy in there right away. Finley in no way can play PF.

[slick'81]

man w e had a chance to get that to 5

uh oh from 17 to 7

[Dex]

Not quite sure where Bonner has been sucking on defense. He has done quite well. Unfortunately, his three-point shooting is lacking, though. At least he has a couple offensive rebounds, which is unusual for him.

Standing in the post and putting your arms up is not defense. Even if you are 6'10"

[EricB]

Get Duncan back in there for Finley and Bogans for Mason please...

[baseline bum]

Gotta love Dice's jumper. It's the only thing saving us right now.

[Libri]

Dice is on fire!

[TimDunkem]

I'm tired of watching this team chuck threes...

[ulosturedge]

wow Dice trying to single-handedly put us back in the game.

[Johnny RIngo]

Finley and Manu with stupid 3s when we have momentum..what a surprise..

Spurs have NO shot at a championship if they're going to be this dependent on the three ball. We're a one-dimensional team that has trouble scoring inside. The contenders will eat us alive come playoff time.

[Spurologist]

Zebras need to call that moving screen. Hill can't defend

[Chieflion]

McDyess!

[EmptyMan]

I LOVE how our posts settle for 15 ft jump shots.

[slick'81]

fck u roy

[baseline bum]

Fuck

[HarlemHeat37]

McDyess hasn't been able to make the momentum Js so far this year..he makes 2 or 3 in a row, but then misses the back-breaker..

[EricB]

Fuck

come on Dyess, no time for heat checks...

[Dex]

Chucking fucking jumpers.

[45 bank shot]

take finley out

[EricB]

Fuck

come on Dyess, no time for heat checks...

[Josepatches_]

Duncan and 4 or Dice and 4.

We never play with one PF & one C

[HarlemHeat37]

Finley is no longer an NBA player..why can't Pop just see it?..

[mVp]

Depressing...

[ElNono]

Don't agree with this small ball. Should have stuck with Blair.

+1

Plus they're playing big, and outside of hill and RJ we don't really have runners out there...

[Dex]

Back to 11....

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck Finley
Fuck Finley
Fuck FinleyFuck Finley
Fuck FinleyFuck FinleyFuck FinleyFuck FinleyFuck FinleyFuck FinleyFuck FinleyFuck Finley

[Death In June]

Jesus, what the fuck is finely there for. It's not for his defense, and it's not because he's a game changer. He's not making shots, and he's not rebounding. There's got to be some logic to it, right? Someone has an explanation?

[EricB]

He does?

So playing him 24 minutes straight in the second half on the second night of a back to back is wise?

Really?

[Ice009]

Take another fucking jumper. Man if you want the fans to jump take another jumper please.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fuck. Jumpshot after jumpshot. At the other end Roy in the post and Miller driving the ball. Wake the fuck up Spurs.

[NewJerSpur]

It scares me when Finley dribbles in the open court.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

its back up to 11 again...

[slick'81]

back to 11 time slipping away

[Fpoonsie]

I'm sure this has been said A MILLION TIMES already, but Finley is fucking garbage.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

ty finley for putting us back to 11

[007nites]

uhh why isn't Duncan in there??

[Chomag]

WTF is Pop doing...

[completely deck]

Did Hill's arms shrink over the off season? He's getting blocked a lot this year as opposed to last year.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Can you someone plz give me a brief overview of what's been happening in this game with the Spurs ?

:flag:

[45 bank shot]

we could've had the lead if Dice or Blair started in place of Bonner. Hope Pop can see the point now

[ulosturedge]

eww back to 11-point deficit.

[EricB]

I thought posting RJ up had success in the past.

I'm wrong though Im sure.

[Johnny RIngo]

Finley is no longer an NBA player..why can't Pop just see it?..

Fin has done more harm to this franchise than any other player I can think of.

[timtonymanu]

Dear Michael Finley,

Please retire after this season. You got your damn ring. Now leave so the Spurs can get one for Dice and Theo. You're done and you're doing nothing but hindering the team.

[Ice009]

Take another jumper. These guys are scared to even get back into the game. They just keep jacking weak jumpers with no confidence on them. Scared to make a move.

[Amarelooms]

Did Hill's arms shrink over the off season? He's getting blocked a lot this year as opposed to last year.

lol

[Dex]

i recalled him getting block quite often on his drive last yr

[Mavs<Spurs]

This won't help, but you already know about the man crush Pop has for finely.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs have NO shot at a championship if they're going to be this dependent on the three ball. We're a one-dimensional team that has trouble scoring inside. The contenders will eat us alive come playoff time.
Agree.
And Manu needs to get a clue, now I cringe every time I see him take a three.
He's shooting 25 percent this season beyond the arc. His inside game is the only thing that works, so he needs to stop forcing it.

[ulosturedge]

Eventually we have to make shots right? I hope...

[Capt Bringdown]

Finley is THE original gansta.
Getting paid millions for his pathetic brand of B-ball? Now THATS what I call gaming the system.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm thinking Manu must be ill or injured. He looks like a shadow of himself. On that last 3, he had 2 guys between him and the basket and could easily have taken it to the hole, which I'm sure he'd do if healthy. Something has him waaaaaay off balance. Must be the curse of the bat, because in that first game he had 5 or 6 layups. :(

[ElNono]

So playing him 24 minutes straight in the second half on the second night of a back to back is wise?

Really?

Why not? Derek Fisher does it every time and he's like 44...
He's a young kid and he can get 2 days of rest...

Jeez, how most other every team does it that they play guys 30+ minutes?

[slick'81]

dont blame finley :lol spurs gave him the damn option he wasnt turning it down

[Mavs<Spurs]

http://actingschmacting.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/broken-record.jpg

I do something to irritate you or make you mad ?

Sorry.

nevermind about my question.

:(

[Dex]

I just got 2 points in against the Spurs defense in my junk mail.

[bigdog]

Run iso for RJ. damn

[timvp]

Finley !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

:wow

FIN made a shot

[007nites]

Finley's stat line 13 minutes, 0-4fg, 0-1 3pt, 0 points, 1 rebound, 0, 0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0, 0

[mVp]

lol wtf is Duncan doing out there? this shit is over.

[Josepatches_]

Why why why why why why small small small small ball?????


TD or Dice but always only one big men.
At least if we have forwards like Marion or Josh Smith but we have Finley,Bonner or Mason

[HarlemHeat37]

Why do we have to shoot a 3 every time we get it into single digits?..

[Dex]

I do something to irritate you or make you mad ?

Sorry.

nevermind about my question.

:(

:lol

No, not you.

Just Pop using the same zany rotations and the Spurs getting blasted in the paint. :(

[Death In June]

More 3s? Eh.

[Chomag]

GOD DAMMIT! We are struggling on 3s and Bogans just takes a quicki 3.

[ElNono]

Bogans with a great board, RJ back to chucking 3's

[ulosturedge]

Finley chasing Blake really?

[NewJerSpur]

Good news: Spurs are getting more avtice defensively and there's still time left.

[TimDunkem]

Another missed three. How did I know that would be our next shot?

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice to the bench...WTF???????????????

Terrible shot Bogans

[Ice009]

Another 3 from RJ. Like I said these guys are not willing to work for it. Looking for the easy way out. Taking scared, weak jumpers with no confidence.

[angelbelow]

Nice move by bogans.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

back to 9!! push push push the baby is coming!!!

[slick'81]

down to 7 again

[Spurologist]

There's the RJ dunk I was looking for

[bbarry]

fuck the blazers. lets gooooo we still got a shot

[timvp]

Bogans with some nice ballhandling.

[mVp]

wow, down to 7? am I watching the right game?

[Chomag]

LOL Blazers trying to hand the game to SPurs. Hopefully we will oblige.

[angelbelow]

There we go! Nice dunk by RJ.

[HarlemHeat37]

The West looks pretty bad right now..Lakers are going to have another cake-walk..

[Chieflion]

Lay it in. Bogans!!!

[ulosturedge]

Blazers trying to give the game away?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fucking weaksauce Tim Duncan. That shot ALWAYS gets blocked. You should bench yourself every time you take it. Use your left hand, Hall of Famer. :rolleyes

[baseline bum]

All of a sudden Portland's falling apart. Nice D, Andre Miller. What a bum. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice TD to RJ

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i pray to god one more stop please

[redzero]

Give that shit out of here, Timmy!

[mattyc]

Here we go.

[Ice009]

WTF WOW RJ looked like he has no hops left.

Geez get the Phoenix Suns trainers for us please. Do the Spurs trainers work on decreasing player's vertical leap????

[Libri]

Blazers are teasing again. lol

[timvp]

One more stop and a bucket ... and we have a game.

[Chieflion]

75-68. Excellent. Bogans grabbing the jersey of Miller like what Bowen used to do.

[bigdog]

7 point game. Looking more lively on the defensive end. Believe.

[slick'81]

bogans may give pop what he wants-nothing flashy just plays tough and a physical defender who knows his role

[007nites]

What a coincidence, Duncans back in the game and we caught up again....It may be too late though. Pop should had put him in a long time ago.

[completely deck]

What the fuck is going on stop fucking with my emotions, san antonio fucking spurs

[NewJerSpur]

Don't jack up threes!!! Keep playing defense!!!

[Dex]

Everybody should keep in mind that last season we were 1-4 going INTO Parker's injury. And we still won the division.

Tonight doesn't seem like much to be excited about yet, but it's a long season folks.

[EricB]

If Keith Bogans isn't starting against Toronto, I'm flying personally to SA to choke Pop.

[ElNono]

The West looks pretty bad right now..Lakers are going to have another cake-walk..

Too early...

[bigdog]

Solid defense and attack the basket on offense. That's all we need

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Lay it in. Bogans!!!

That's one beneficial trade off he has over Bowen!

Bowen would have went laid that OVER the hoop and out of bounds.

[Blackjack]

Nice run; Damn, Tim's weight loss is noticeable against Oden and Pryzbilla.

[Death In June]

I was premature about Bogans play. I don't know how serviceable he'll end up being, but he's not JV.

[EmptyMan]

Stuart Scott here you sly cats.

Lebron James, The King, is going to have my baby. 33 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, and a whole lot of loving from the manchild turned Basketball god.

Catch you on the flip side dawgs.

[HarlemHeat37]

Fucking weaksauce Tim Duncan. That shot ALWAYS gets blocked. You should bench yourself every time you take it. Use your left hand, Hall of Famer. :rolleyes

it's very annoying, and I remember you and I talked about this many times last year..his offense goes to shit when he strictly looks for fouls like he did when he put his arm into Oden there..

[bbarry]

WTF WOW RJ looked like he has no hops left.

Geez get the Phoenix Suns trainers for us please. Do the Spurs trainers work on decreasing player's vertical leap????

you're judging his hops in just a single play? maybe he just didn't want to dunk it harder.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The West looks pretty bad right now..Lakers are going to have another cake-walk..

...except that this is the 5th game of the season, and in 30 games time none of these teams will look anything like they do now.

[Chieflion]

WTF WOW RJ looked like he has no hops left.

Geez get the Phoenix Suns trainers for us please. Do the Spurs trainers work on decreasing player's vertical leap????
No. Bucks fans have witnessed Jefferson's declining athletic ability. It was nothing new. He was losing it just like how Finley was losing it. Pretty soon, we would have Finley V2 if we decide to keep him after his contract.

[Johnny RIngo]

The West looks pretty bad right now..Lakers are going to have another cake-walk..

Agreed. I hope the Magic are legit this year cause I won't be able to stomach another Laker/Celtic championship.

[NewJerSpur]

Good defense by Bogans...Roy can't get past him.

[Dex]

Cmonnnnnn, we need some basketball mojo....

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

WTF WOW RJ looked like he has no hops left.

Geez get the Phoenix Suns trainers for us please. Do the Spurs trainers work on decreasing player's vertical leap????

Pop wants no dunking. IF Shawn Marion came over here he wouldn't be doing what he's doing in Dallas.

[bigdog]

That was a hectic posession. At least there was a foul called.

[Spurologist]

One more stop and a bucket ... and we have a game.

Bingo

[baseline bum]

Alright Manu!

[mVp]

That's right, attack the fucking basket, come on...

[timvp]

If I'm Pop, I'm not sure I put Manu back in.

[slick'81]

here we go manu

[Spurs Brazil]

Good D and good job Manu

[silverspur50]

What in the heck is wrong with the Spurs??/ Honestly, after the first game, I was sooo excited that we were actually gonna have a good team. So what happened:( Why isnt Blair playing? Or did he play on one of my potty breaks??:rolleyes

[baseline bum]

5 points!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Much better, Manu. Drive, drive, drive.

[slick'81]

5

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

the blazers fan are getting nervous ..you can hear it

[slick'81]

spurs ball!!!

[angelbelow]

Nice!

[bigdog]

yes! damn good defense!

[completely deck]

this

is
what
im
talking about

[Chieflion]

Pop better start calling plays from the next game on.

[timvp]

Bogans has been great.

[SCdac]

Great defense.

[HarlemHeat37]

is this defense we're seeing these last few minutes?!..

I haven't seen this in years..

[Spurologist]

Let's GO! Spurs D showing signs

[baseline bum]

Andre Miller doing a good job for us tonight.

[007nites]

5 point game

[Spurs Brazil]

Great D

[Libri]

This would be a perfect situation for TP.

[NewJerSpur]

That was a hectic posession. At least there was a foul called.

Yup. Bailout, LOL.

[jag]

Nice D boys

[Trainwreck2100]

fuck this game

[duncan228]

Damn, Tim's weight loss is noticeable against Oden and Pryzbilla.

It really is. He's downright scrawny. :lol

[mattyc]

I really like Keith Bogans intensity and application.

[slick'81]

gino goes down hard

[bigdog]

Manu going to the line!

[baseline bum]

That's it Manu. Attack the motherfucking hoop!

[timvp]

Get up Manu.

[Johnny RIngo]

WTF WOW RJ looked like he has no hops left.


I wanted VC. Too bad the Spurs FO overvalued Hill/Mason.

[KidCongo]

Oden should get superstar calls!!!

[ElNono]

Is that defense that I see? :wow

I see Manu saving the best for last...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nice D. Bogans really makes a difference out there, and with 4 smalss we just switch on everything.

[Death In June]

That looked like it f'ing hurt.

[Chieflion]

Keith Bogans may just be the next Bruce Bowen.

[mattyc]

Wow - pretty sure Manu could have killed himself then!

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Manu

[timvp]

That's why Pop is Pop.

[baseline bum]

Big FTs Manu! 3!

[Spurologist]

-3

[angelbelow]

I like that Ginobili is making some nice drives, hopefully he doesn't start setting for wild 3s.

[slick'81]

3

[timvp]

Why take out Bogans?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Andre Miller doing a good job for us tonight.

Yeah, what's he doing hoisting 3s on 2 possessions in a row? :lol

[Chieflion]

What a comeback.

[slick'81]

fck

[Trainwreck2100]

almost steal

[completely deck]

http://www.gamesprays.com/images/icons/home-alone-omg-scream-1684_preview.gif

DEFENSE

[SpurOutofTownFan]

The closer is starting to go for layups...

[evi11emons]

great D

[mattyc]

On another note, I really enjoy the sweater of a guy in the crowd and I really dislike the voice of some woman in the crowd.

[007nites]

3 point ball game!

[timvp]

RMJ ... damn pick it up.

[Libri]

That steal was close.

[NewJerSpur]

The old Spurs are making a coming back.....DEFENSE FIRST!!!

[TinTin]

My ugly brace face is smiling more than ever

[Chieflion]

Please play Bogans.

[slick'81]

fckn lucky suck

[redzero]

Wow, what a twist!

[Josepatches_]

Back in the gam with the fucking small ball.
I can't believe it

[baseline bum]

What the fuck? Why pull Bogans now?

[Trainwreck2100]

bullshit shot

[Mavs<Spurs]

:lol

No, not you.

Just Pop using the same zany rotations and the Spurs getting blasted in the paint. :(

thank you.

I thought I did something wrong (or was the wrong person posting at the wrong time !).

Defending the paint means not playing Bonner or am I wrong ? When we picked up Dice, then I thought that our interior D would pick up because Tim and Antonio would be able to take care of that. You still need your guards to prevent too much dribble penetration, but problem would be mostly solved.

[Death In June]

Manu, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT

[007nites]

When Ginobili drives, good stuff happens

[jag]

LOL ginobili

[Chieflion]

Great hustle. Keep it up.

[NewJerSpur]

Damn Manu....

[HarlemHeat37]

there's Manu's horrible step-back 3, possibly the worst shot in basketball..always kills us, and that probably ended the momentum, along with Roy's great shot..

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck Pop

Bench BOgans to put shit Mason

FUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

WTF? Why isn't Bogans on Roy?

[mattyc]

Manu, man. Rushed shot.

[KidCongo]

Blame it on the new rims I reckon.

[Chieflion]

That hurt.

[timvp]

RMJ ... damn pick it up.

Game changing non-fumble recovery.

[bigdog]

and Manu fucks it up. Jacks up a stupid 3 and makes a stupid foul

[angelbelow]

Oh crap

[timtonymanu]

God fuckin damnit manu!!!!!!

[usckk]

WTF Pop? Boggans plays great D on Roy all game and then benches hiM!?!!?!

[ElNono]

Here we go with the whistle for Roy... Watch this shit go on until the end... :td

[TimDunkem]

Another three and a foul on Roy. Figures.

[slick'81]

6

[Ice009]

Mason Jr not picking up that loose ball killed us. I called a Manu steal when he poked it out before he did it and Mason not picking up that loose ball fucking killed us.

[baseline bum]

Goddamnit Pop. As soon as Bogans goes out we get turnstile D from Manu on Roy again. :pctoss

[Chieflion]

Pop is a fucking retard. Play Bogans.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fuck, Manu, that is just fucking crap. Why jack a fucking 3 with all that time on the clock when you can't make one to save your life??? DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dex]

Why take out Bogans?

Because Pop apparently doesn't believe in giving this team it's best chance to win.

[slick'81]

time out spurs

[Libri]

Manu gambles, :bang

[evi11emons]

ahh fuck

[mattyc]

Bad three minutes there for us.

[baseline bum]

God damn you Pop.

[EmptyMan]

Mason mason mason.

Dude is becoming a finley clone.

[Chomag]

Crap , all 5 spurs flat footed on that play

[ElNono]

Pop pissed at Tim...

[timvp]

WTF did Pop take out Bogans :pctoss

[Death In June]

Can't buy a rebound. Pop's pissed but it's his own damn fault.

[Dex]

A whole shitload of wasted effort.

Manu needs to get his ass into playing shape, quick.

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop killed the run

Fuck Pop and Fuck Roger Mason

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

I hate you Pop!

[TimDunkem]

Horrible D Tim. Wow. I knew we'd have another defensive breakdown.

[007nites]

oden....

[45 bank shot]

if only we could have started the game strong with better players than Bonner

[Spurologist]

Unfuckingbelievable POP. Don't you want to keep the players that got you back in the game?

[Ice009]

Mason Jr needed to grab that loose ball.

That is soft. No desperation whatsoever and Bogans not on the court is fucking retarded.

A defensive coach huh? Pop is a full on retard these days. He doesn't know what defense is anymore. Defense is what got us back into the game and then the fucker throws it away by taking out the defensive players.

POP :(.

[Chieflion]

Horrible substitution pattern there.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Pop pissed at Tim...
i am pissed at pop

[slick'81]

agreed bogans was setting a tone with his defense then bam hes gone

[EricB]

Fucking Ginobili :pctoss

[bigdog]

Manu should not be in the game right now. Get Bogans back out there and on offense let Tim and RJ work.
