11/9 - Spurs vs. Raptors Game blog

[Spurs Brazil]

From the first half:

Bogans can start instead of Fin.

McDyess can start instead of Bonner.

Mason should not play

Fixed

[resistanze]

I hope the Raps lose.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bonner 3 lawl

[Spurs Brazil]

[Supergirl]

Bosh at the line again. WTF is going on.

[HarlemHeat37]

horrible play by Hill..stopped his dribble too early, made a really bad pass..

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

jeez i can totally make a mix out of bonner from tonight's game lawl

[Xylus]

http://i38.tinypic.com/10z1m51.gif

... What. The. Fuck. :wow

[HarlemHeat37]

Ratliff is way too slow for Bosh..

[Jess]

Jefferson end to end!

[angelbelow]

Hope we lock down a little on D in the 2nd half. I think we can definitely win this one.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

http://i38.tinypic.com/10z1m51.gif

:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol

[ElNono]

Say what you will, but Theo intimidates down there in the block...

[ulosturedge]

Hey, watch it. We're 7-1, buddy. :lol

Well it works for you guys, but I seriously doubt it would work for us lol. :p:

[Libri]

... What. The. Fuck. :wow

Yes, it happened. lol

[mystargtr34]

3 possessions.... 3 scores for the Raptors.

Once they start rebounding the ball, the Spurs will get blown out, unless they somehow start defending the basketball.

[Jess]

Say what you will, but Theo intimidates down there in the block...

Chris Bosh is scoring and rebounding like he's not even there...

[Brazil]

fucking ref ! shitty D !

[TIMMYD!]

George Hill reminding me of TP with that move.

[DPG21920]

Holy Hill

[Libri]

Damn! That Hill move was nice.

[hitmanyr2k]

Ratliff is way too slow for Bosh..

He's at least making Bosh pumpfake and change his shot a bit.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

raptors are shooting like there wasn't anyone defending ...but well so are the spurs lol

[ElNono]

Chris Bosh is scoring and rebounding like he's not even there...

I saw Bosh hesitate before RJ stole the ball... Hasn't scored since

[Danny.Zhu]

Cool.

[HarlemHeat37]

Bosh is eating Ratliff..

[Spurs Brazil]

D still not good but I love the fact that everyone is attacking

[ElNono]

He's at least making Bosh pumpfake and change his shot a bit.

Exactly. Bosh is going to score. You just have to make him work for it.

[Spurs Brazil]

4th on Calderon, nice job Hill

[ulosturedge]

At some point you have to be able to press the other team. Force them to work a bit harder for stretches of the game. But it seems we don't threaten anyone through the course of the game. No defensive presence. Absolutely no one is scared of our defense.. not even the Raptors lol.

[Supergirl]

damn who's teaching Hill FTs, Tony Parker?

[DPG21920]

FML Hill!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Gh3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wow george hill that was so damn impressive

[TIMMYD!]

George with the crazy ass move. That needs to be a gif.

[TinTin]

Oh my george hill

[Libri]

Hill just embarrassed Barganani.

[siraulo23]

wow nice move

[spursfan1000]

I am liking what i'm seeing from George Hill.

[mVp]

Sweet move by Hill, and we finally get a stop :lol

[DPG21920]

George Hill can't finish.

[HarlemHeat37]

This is why you don't trade Hill..so much potential..he's so good when he isn't passive..

[TinTin]

I bet there will be at least one topic about making hill the starter and benching parker

[Brazil]

sorry I hate this game... I've the feeling to see Phoenix playing the sixers

[Ice009]

Like I said Start George for a couple games after TP comes back. I like George's D and O, plus he is passing it well.

[Blackjack]

Havoc with the filth.:wow

[ulosturedge]

Atleast maybe people will stop hating on Hill finally.

[ElNono]

Bosh might be a monster on offense, but defensively I'm not impressed...

[45 bank shot]

George is doing well just like last year at the beginning of the season hopefully he keeps it up

[boutons_deux]

Spurs won't be able to pay George for his next contract.

[urunobili]

Spurs won't be able to pay George for his next contract.

[DPG21920]

sorry I hate this game... I've the feeling to see Phoenix playing the sixers

Keep things in perspective my man. You lose your best defender in Tim and your main scorer in TP, you have to do what you can. Toronto is a tough match up for anyone with Bosh, Bargs and Hedo.

[Libri]

good teamwork between Manu and Dice

[symple19]

Like to see Dice finish those. Used to be he'd throw that down with authority

[quentin_compson]

sorry I hate this game... I've the feeling to see Phoenix playing the sixers

So you're expecting the Spurs to dominate the paint defensively without TD?

[Allanon]

I think the only team with worse interior defense than the Spurs are the Raptors.

[DPG21920]

Bargs is one smooth motha...He cannot defend or rebound very well, but offensively, he is damn good.

[Ice009]

FUCK NO. Hill out Mason Jr in :(.

Keep Hillin please.

[TIMMYD!]

AND1 from Manu.

[Spurs Brazil]

Vintage Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Libri]

vintage Manu

[mVp]

Nice

[spursfan1000]

I guess I shouldent have wrote off the Spurs..

[HarlemHeat37]

Finley too slow to rotate..what a surprise..

[mVp]

They can't miss WTF?!

[Xylus]

God damn, everytime I look at the score, it's tied.

On paper, the Raptors should be putting the Spurs away. Unfortunately for Toronto, heart and intangibles don't show up on paper.

[Libri]

travel

[Supergirl]

hey does Finley now hold the title for most consecutive games played, now that Prince is out? He's gotta be up there, right?

[bigdog]

wowwww. totally a travel

[TIMMYD!]

Terrible calls.

[HarlemHeat37]

no travel there, good call..

[mVp]

BS call...

[Spurs Brazil]

Pathetic refs

[dave]

lmao these refs suck shit

[DPG21920]

Manu having a heck of a game. He has only taken 2 bad shots by my count. Everything else :tu

[Brazil]

So you're expecting the Spurs to dominate the paint defensively without TD?

they are shooting 60 % and worst 54 % at the 3 pts, the lack of Tim has nothing to do with defending the 3 !!!

[Dex]

I'm glad its Free Throw Shooting Contest season again.

[hitmanyr2k]

The free throw shooting for the Spurs is horrendous this year...damn.

[Supergirl]

someone's gonna foul out of this game. for both teams.

[Bender]

these real refs aren't any better than the fake ones

[[email protected]]

the replacements are better

[Behrooz24]

http://i33.tinypic.com/p51s6.gif

[024]

poor free throw shooting as always.

[mVp]

Bad shot.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck you Mason, fuck you scrub

[HarlemHeat37]

At least Finley has made some 3s..

get Mason off the floor right now..

[Johnny RIngo]

Will Mason ever find his shot this season?

[DPG21920]

Behrooz coming up clutch...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

thank god the raps aren't playing D either :lol

[pawe]

Finley 3!
- Raps wont miss!!

[TinTin]

Blair needs to work on that shot from mcdyess

[symple19]

Blair is going to have to work on that baseline J. It will be there for him all year

[DPG21920]

How are yall talking bad about Mason, when he was the one who just set Fin up?

[Brazil]

How many 3s the raptors are going to score ???

[ulosturedge]

Bring Bowen out from retirement, get Hairston some pt, and trade for a competent athletic big.

[Spurs Brazil]

Our pick and roll D is pathetic now

[HarlemHeat37]

Having Mason and Finley together on the perimeter is suicide..

if you're gonna have 1 of them on, leave Finley on since he's making his 3s tonight, get Mason off..they can't be on together..

[45 bank shot]

c'mon we need to get stops

[Jess]

Jesus, like I said before if the Raps would miss we'd be blowing this thing wide open. They've got some incredible shooters, or one hell of a hot streak.

[Libri]

Manu should keep driving the basket. The Raptors can't stop him.

[TIMMYD!]

How about a gif web page of all the best plays this year?

[Dex]

Raptors shooting 59.6% :vomit:

[DPG21920]

Well the Raps are getting good looks and moving the ball well. That is what you are supposed to do when you have favorable match ups all over the floor.

[DPG21920]

Missed FT's are going to kill the Spurs in a game like this.

[hitmanyr2k]

Even Ginobili has turned into an average free throw shooter. What the hell is going on?

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[mVp]

Manuuuu

[quentin_compson]

they are shooting 60 % and worst 54 % at the 3 pts, the lack of Tim has nothing to do with defending the 3 !!!

I think it has. Not having a dominant big like TD under the basket means opponents can drive to the basket more easily, which results in collapsing defense and easy outside shots.

[TIMMYD!]

Ginobili for 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now if we could find a way to stop the Raps from scoring.

[mVp]

Fuck Mason.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

great look ...

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL Sonny Weems is playing..Hairston completely dominated him in SL, he made him his son..

Mason has no shot so far this season..get him out..

[Spurs Brazil]

Make a fucking 3 Mason

[Ice009]

The interior D sucks.

[HarlemHeat37]

Sonny Weems just scored..ridiculous..everybody teases us with their random, athletic guys..

[Supergirl]

who the fuck is Sonny Weems?

[ulosturedge]

Don't be a pussy Pop. Trade Mason, Finley, and Bonner.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice Manu

[Danny.Zhu]

Calderon missed a free throw... We are lucky...

[Spurs Brazil]

For me it's official

Finley>Mason Jr

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

malik looked so so happy on the floor

[slick'81]

should be a fun 4th

[Capt Bringdown]

Nice to see that Pop's giving Finley crunch-time minutes.

[TinTin]

Wow o__O what a 3

[siraulo23]

wow

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck

Those guys can't miss

[Libri]

big shot by the Raptors

[mVp]

They just can't miss...

[024]

raptors can't miss. wtf.

[HarlemHeat37]

nothing you can do there, great shot..

[TIMMYD!]

Knew that 3 was coming. :bang

[Dex]

Why the FUCK does every team turn into the fucking Harlem Globetrotters when they play us?

[DPG21920]

lol dagger 3's to deflate the Spurs at the end of quarters.

[loveforthegame]

For me it's official

Finley>Mason Jr

I agree. But I felt that way even last year. I can't believe Pop is the sole reason for Mason's disappearance.

[HarlemHeat37]

I can't believe Hairston's son is playing and made a basket..

[TIMMYD!]

They just can't miss. Damn.

[bigdog]

Good game. A fresh GHill and RJ will be good to close out the game.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Raptors:

3PM-A
8-14
57.1%

Awful D

[DPG21920]

Why the FUCK does every team turn into the fucking Harlem Globetrotters when they play us?

Because our defense sucks right now.

[DAF86]

Manu earning a Ditka thread bump?

[45 bank shot]

fuck bellinli

[Ice009]

This is sad. Everytime we get the lead they hit a 3.

Poor defenders like Mason Jr. and Finley are helping us out so much Pop.

[dave]

i would not be surprised if belinelli gets sent back to the bench for antoine wright

[ulosturedge]

Because our defense sucks.

[quentin_compson]

The Raptors are unreal with their three-point shooting.

Mason Jr. didn't even look that bad on D, but he can't buy a shot.

[boutons_deux]

Gonna be extremely difficult to win with the Spurs shooting -17% FGs

[45 bank shot]

c'mon letz win this at home

[mystargtr34]

:lol these end of quarter shots are amazing.

[Jess]

Still finding it hard to blame this on defense or matchups...Raps just displaying ridiculous shot-making.

[Spurs Brazil]

When TP comes back Mason can't see a single minute there. Give Hill all his minutes

[boutons_deux]

Both teams scored at least 30 pts for 3 qtrs

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

full timeout ???!!

[ElNono]

Who is Mason playing for?

[Ice009]

I like that Pop has low patience so far. He looks like he has none after that timeout. He is disgusted, but why is his patience level so high with Bonner and Finley?

[Punkkboy44]

I am loving the tough SPURS D tonight!!!

[Dex]

Because our defense sucks right now.

Spurs have defended surprisingly well tonight.

They're dominating the boards. They're causing turnovers. Aside from Bosh, no one is really getting away with much inside.

The Raptors are just draining shots like the Olsen twins on prom night.

[ulosturedge]

Still finding it hard to blame this on defense or matchups...Raps just displaying ridiculous shot-making.

Yeah they are like the 3rd team so far to do this to us. At some point you have to try and force them to miss or it will get out of hand. As we are witnessing now...

[BWS-1994]

Belinelli has been playing for only 8 mins, but all were worth it.

[mVp]

This is going down to the wire, I hope... it's evident we can't stop them, we just have to play to keep up with them...

[ulosturedge]

We are going to have to score 120+ to win this lol.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 33333333333333333333333333333333333

[Libri]

Bonner with a rainbow 3.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

play some D WTFFFFF

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

LOL Bonner teardrop drill

[Chomag]

Come on bonner you can't defend a guy with you back to them!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Fucking Mason again

[CGD]

Our D isnt the best, but it's more about the Raps making RIDICULOUS shots.

[Das Texan]

Did George Gervin come out of retirement tonight?

[symple19]

that was the ugliest floater in the history of galaxy-wide basketball

[mVp]

This is BS.

[DPG21920]

Belinelli is ballin'

[Libri]

those 3s are daggers, crap

[Dex]

I don't think the Raptors hit 3s this well in practice.

[symple19]

stupid Raptors are shooting the lights out

[Chomag]

Our D isnt the best, but it's more about the Raps making RIDICULOUS shots.

No our Defence is not even existant right now.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner was open and fucking Mason keep dribling and killed the play

Take this SOB out

[BWS-1994]

Damn... every miss almost means a sure 3 or lay-up in the other end...

[Ice009]

WHY THE FUCK DID POP NOT PLAY THE STARTERS TOGETHER IN THE PRESEASON?????????

ALL THE NEW GUYS SHOULD HAVE PLAYED WITH TD AND TP TO GET READY FOR THE SEASON.

THIS lack of defensive cohesion is on Pop. WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT Pop.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!

[DPG21920]

Whooo Manu...3 then block...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

homecourt bounce lol

[DPG21920]

Good hustle Matt!!!!!!!!!!! Get Big Boy

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bonnnnner is shitting on his former team lol

[DPG21920]

Take it over Manu.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Manufan909]

Blair almost tearing off an arm of his own team, and Manu says "NOT IN MY HOUSE!!!" And makes two 3s in a row.:wow

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Batman in da house

[Jess]

Finally a stop.

[Libri]

momentum on the Spurs side

[hitmanyr2k]

Ginobili is going into beast mode.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Finally some stops on the defensive end.

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice playing great D

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bull shhhhiiiiiit call

[Spurs Brazil]

Rj!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TinTin]

I cant believe that whole play started with bonner driving...

[Libri]

Jefferson driving the basket, :toast

[BWS-1994]

McD just can't his jumpers tonight...

[Chomag]

Manu trying to be to fancy there.

[Supergirl]

neither team can seem to pull away...

come on Spurs!!!

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Nice hi-low from Dice to RJ

[HarlemHeat37]

I can't wait until McDyess gets the shot going like he's known to..he looks great otherwise..

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice is fucking good

[symple19]

George Hill, airball...WTF

[Supergirl]

Spurs easily outrebounding the Raptors. Bosh sucks.

[ElNono]

Time to nut up!

[Libri]

Bonner has been able to drive to the basket because he's made those 3s.

[BWS-1994]

McD missing his jumpers but cleaning up the glass.

[quentin_compson]

Spurs are playing fucking great.

[TIMMYD!]

Damn what's happening with Bonner? He is playing very well.

[#2!]

i'm loving this shit

[Chomag]

This is nice to see but I wouldnt get too happy. Toronto's defence looks even worse then ours.

[45 bank shot]

letz go, close this one out

[bigdog]

Great game. What's crazy is that they look way more in sync with each other this game than they do with Tim and Tony.

[Dex]

I'd seriously be interested to know the last time the Spurs had 4 dunks in a game. :lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

chemistry building :stirpot:

[Supergirl]

114 to 109 with 4 minutes left to play. Spurs need this win for their morale. Raptors, on the other hand, need this win just to not look like schmucks.

[024]

raptors finally cooling off and the spurs are taking advantage.

[dave]

Spurs easily outrebounding the Raptors. Bosh sucks.

his defence sucks but he's 3rd in the league in rebounding

[TinTin]

Another bonner drive and I am skeeting

[ceperez]

Really a fun game to watch!

[Xevious]

Spurs playing with a lot of energy right now.

[peskypesky]

from the play-by-play, it looks like RJ is tearing shit up!

[TIMMYD!]

We need this win bad.

[HarlemHeat37]

We're missing our best defender, and our defense isn't good in general right now either way..I wouldn't worry about that, just get the W..

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn what's happening with Bonner? He is playing very well.

So true, playing very well and with great energy

That dunk started all for him

[Supergirl]

Hill, Jefferson, and Manu all with at least 5 assists (Manu has 8). Nice.

[Supergirl]

his defence sucks but he's 3rd in the league in rebounding

then why are the undersized Spurs playing without Timmy outrebounding his ass?

[mVp]

OMG Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[siraulo23]

unbelievable manu`!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh shiitttt manuuuuuuuuuuuuu w/ 33

[CGD]

I feel like I'm watch a Suns-Mavs game from 4 years ago...

[024]

"i don't think he got vaccinated"

lmao

[SuperManu!!!]

Manu tres!!!

[DPG21920]

Don't be fools Spur fans. Bosh is rebounding excellent this year. One good game does not cancel out everything.

[quentin_compson]

I love Manu.

[symple19]

Manu looks old

[ulosturedge]

Either way it would definitely be a good win to win this without Duncan or Parker. Gotta take something good away from all this lol.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

all those step back tres that manu missed last two games are all going in tonite

[TinTin]

why did blair sub in? who is going to guard bosh now

[Supergirl]

Blair and McDyess both with 5 fouls :(

[TIMMYD!]

Another 3 from Bonner.

[HarlemHeat37]

Bonner needs to keep coming off the bench..he could be a great spark..

[mVp]

Oh yesssss baby

[siraulo23]

booonner

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

[ElNono]

When it rains it pours... :lol

[Libri]

It's amazing what confidence can do. Bonner with a 3.

[symple19]
