Spurs 107 - Pacers 92

[Texas_Ranger]

C'mon Tim, score 30 on them!!

[z0sa]

The first time I won't be seeing a game in quite a while..

[bigbendbruisebrother]

My son and I will cheer them on from section 107.

:toast

[bdictjames]

Easy win here. Spurs 110 Pacers 87

[slick'81]

no granger should be no problem for sa

sa 99
ind 91

[benefactor]

The biggest things I want to see tonight are good defensive rotations and at least an attempt at taking care of the ball. Do those things and we should win handily.

[DPG21920]

Troy Murphy has been playing very well as of late. Must watch him. TJ Ford has had a bad year, but he is still capable of causing problems as well.

[Libri]

Easy win here. Spurs 110 Pacers 87

I hope Tim isn't forced to play heavy minutes tonight.

[td_tp_manu]

This is my first spurs game EVER. And now I'm on my way!

I arrived in SA for the first time today, and spent the whole afternoon sleeping... will explore the city more tmr

[Spurs Brazil]

I expect a big game from Tony tonight

[mystargtr34]

Here we go..

[urunobili]

To tp

[siraulo23]

to parker...

[Chieflion]

Turnover.....

[The Red Hood]

I expect a big game from Tony tonight
He's definitely starting aggressive.

[mystargtr34]

Good job... get Hibbert out of there.... he's blocking over 2 shots a game in under 25 minutes... makes it tough around the rim.

[Spurs Brazil]

2TOs already

[Chieflion]

Duncan throws it away.

[phxspurfan]

Blogging from the game!

[The Red Hood]

Malik already in.

[mystargtr34]

Good to see Malik in.

[phxspurfan]

3 pick n pops for Duncan early

[urunobili]

Pop wanted to talk to Bogans.. Malik out again

[The Red Hood]

Malik out. :lol

[mystargtr34]

Malik out.

[Chieflion]

RJ out, Mason in. LOL Pop, quick with the trigger today.

[ChumpDumper]

Looks like KBVO is continuing its practice of broadcasting Spurs games in GlaucomaVision®.

Disgraceful. It's like they are getting the feed off boutons' Slingbox.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol pop

[phxspurfan]

Motion offense sees it's 1st turnover

[Spurs Brazil]

2PFs already on RJ

3TOs

[mystargtr34]

Fuck 2 on RJ whats with all the fouls.

[Chieflion]

Murphy hits a 3. Someone close out on him.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wth is w/ the scream in the arena

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice is lost on pick and roll again, just like against Frye

[Spurs Brazil]

wth is w/ the scream in the arena

Yep, it seems like a bunch of kids

[Chieflion]

Come on, Blair and Manu please check in after the timeout. Quick trigger Pop, go for it.

[Chieflion]

Parker still terrible.

[dbestpro]

Another dud game on the way. Obvious when Tony just shoots, shoots, shoots, shoots us in the foot.

[urunobili]

God TP looks like garbage without making shots...

[phxspurfan]

bogans bails em out

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

when are we gonna see pick n pop w/ dice...mason wasn't even looking for him

[024]

spurs offense deferring to bogans?

[dbestpro]

Dice rotation sucks.

[Chieflion]

Stop Murphy, damn it.

[Chieflion]

Manu to Duncan for the lay in.

[dbestpro]

TP needs to look at Manu and see what a pass is.

[dbestpro]

TP needs to pass, pass, pass, pass, pass and set somebody up.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What is with those idiots screaming every 5 secs.

Very annoying.

[dbestpro]

Finally a pass from Parker.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD with a good start

Spurs up 1

[Libri]

Finally, a good pass by TP.

[Chieflion]

What is with those idiots screaming every 5 secs.

Very annoying.
No idea. I tuned them out long time ago. Just gotta get used to it.

[phxspurfan]

TP needs to pass, pass, pass, pass, pass and set somebody up.

Yeah there's two whole sections of kids. I think theyre groups. And some guy leading them with a drumstick and coffee can

[ducks]

Finally, a good pass by TP.

dude has 3 assist

[Chieflion]

No, Bonner, what did you do!!!!!

[dbestpro]

turnover, turnover, turnover, its the issue of not having a playmaker on the team.

[phxspurfan]

If bonner passes up open 3s he's set up for AND let's guys in the lane for uncontestd layups...

[itzsoweezee]

awesome play by manu

[Chieflion]

Manu Ginobili with the teardrop.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great D

[siraulo23]

good d

[Libri]

pretty good D

[Chieflion]

Good defense there by Mason and Bonner.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wow ! nice solid defense there

[itzsoweezee]

lol, psycho T sucks

[Chieflion]

Mason to Bonner for the three. Nice pass.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

all bench out there

[dbestpro]

bad call number 1 for the night.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[siraulo23]

lmao, bonner and 1!

[Chieflion]

Bonner with an and 1 opportunity.

[itzsoweezee]

lol. hansborough is the new matt bonner, only worse.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bonner's driving looks so ugly, but he has progressively become better at it over the last two years.

[Chieflion]

Tyler Hansbrough has failed.

[024]

hansbrough's confidence must have just plummeted.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol sure hansbrough wasn't expecting that

[phxspurfan]

Against a team of hard working bench players w/o granger, Spurs should win this game by the 4th and rest Duncan

[siraulo23]

blocked by admin...

[Chieflion]

blocked by admin...
Expected, should be back online soon.

[TinTin]

Ugh I just saw the 2kids1sandbox video, my penis just inverted. I am so scared :\

[dbestpro]

Very concerned about ball movement when TP is in the game.

[Libri]

rainbow 3 by Manu, nice

[siraulo23]

manu tres!

[urunobili]

Manu shitting on the pacers already...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh mama!!!!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Happy ending for Manu.

[dbestpro]

Manu is hot so Pop will moist likely sit him down till the third quarter.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!! at the buzzer

Spurs up 30-21 after one

[mystargtr34]

Man... Troy Murphy would be such a nice upgrade over Bonner. Nothing against Bonner, he's doing fine... but Murphy gives you the shooting, rebounding and a bit of defense and inside stuff.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

in your eye!!!

[Ice009]

Manu looks more lively than TP.

TP still looks bad.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason can't hit shit tonight

[phxspurfan]

Gh3 playing nice n aggressive

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner to the locker room to check his hand/wrist

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol nets have a 2 point lead into the halftime over the lake

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair playing great D on Hibbert

[ChumpDumper]

KBVO finally stopped getting their feed from justin tv. Now it's in glorious standard definition.

[phxspurfan]

Rj the volume shooter shoots his team out of a fastbreak opportunity :/

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

c'mon georgie...

[phxspurfan]

Maybe I should shit on all the spurs... They seem to score right after I comment about them

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[Libri]

Blair using his strength.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol blair xD

[mystargtr34]

Blair gettin work done.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Dontcha just love watching Grizzly embarrass people? :D

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice J

Spurs up 13

[mystargtr34]

Need to attack Hibbert get his 3rd foul. Things will open up around the rim.

[the crimson blur]

Holy shit Blair has become a good defender quick. Hes playing great.

Hate to say I told you so, but look in post history and I said he would be a good defender and no one believed me :o

[Ice009]

GREAT pass from Blair. Too bad about the finish.

[mystargtr34]

Shit... Hibbert has some O game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Beautiful play TP

[Ice009]

Man, did TP just let Head abuse him on that play? I missed it.

[itzsoweezee]

Holy shit Blair has become a good defender quick. Hes playing great.



gotta agree. i think the celtics game was a turning point. he shut down whoever he was guarding that game.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

pop giving some extra coaching on the drive to 700 lmao

[Rorschach]

any link

[the crimson blur]

gotta agree. i think the celtics game was a turning point. he shut down whoever he was guarding that game.

I havent seen a player who can move him yet. Dudes try to back him down but hes a stone wall. He forces fadeaway jumpshots every time.

[Spurs Brazil]

3rd on RJ

Bad call

[siraulo23]

Parker, mason ginobili bogans duncan on the floor, wtf???

[Libri]

nice fast break by Mason

[Ice009]

Roger is driving and finishing more than I saw all of last season so far this season.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and one!

[mystargtr34]

Have we seen Blair and Tim together at all this season? I cant recall...

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner still not back on the bench, I hope it's nothing serious

[Spurs Brazil]

TD block!

[siraulo23]

cmon tp hit those freebies

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lmao tp can't shoot FTs

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice and Blair doing a great job on the boards, 6 each

[Brazil]

lol TP "only 1 TO" but this time 2-6 Fts he is doomed

[siraulo23]

damn, bonner injury....

[bbarry]

Bonner with a broken bone in hand :(

[the crimson blur]

Dice and Blair doing a great job on the boards, 6 each

How good does that feel. Seasons ago our rebounding rose and fell with Tim Duncan.

[Spurs Brazil]

FUck

Bonner broken bone on his hand

Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ice009]

WYF Bonner has a broken hand?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

spurs are doing great job on boards:tu

[Libri]

Bonner broke a bone in his hand.

[siraulo23]

broken hand?

[Ice009]

I told you should have traded Bonner weeks ago.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

what!! broken bone??

[mystargtr34]

Ugh broken hand...

[duncan228]

Get well soon Bonner. :(

[Brazil]

Every game there is something wrong with this team : TOs rebounds shooting defense etc... today the FTs 7-16 !!!

[Chieflion]

Matt Bonner ironically breaks his hand while playing good defense. Damn.

[Brazil]

fuck bonner !!

[Ice009]

Where the fuck is Parker's 3 point shot that he was supposed to start using last season????

He needs a 3 point shot bad.

[Chieflion]

Hibbert is good.....

[Brazil]

Dunleavy is good

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We're becoming really good at giving away leads in the last two mins before half time... :pctoss

[Chieflion]

What a waste.....

[siraulo23]

parker...

[hoopdreams11]

Tony can't hit crap and what's up with Chip the free throws are horrid tonight

[Ice009]

Parker needs to learn to shoot.

Where is that 3 point shot he was supposed to use more of last season?

[urunobili]

pathetic end to the half... Bonner broken bone in right hand... will Pop give some minutes to Haislip until he comes back?

[mystargtr34]

Activate Mahinmi?

[Spurs Brazil]

TP, Dice missed 4FTs, Pacers 8-0 run.

Spurs up 50-45 at the half

I really, really, really worried about TP, he can't finish those layups. He's playing terrible again

[dbestpro]

TP, TP, TP, when will you ever learn.

[Chieflion]

Tony Parker does not like turning the ball over now. However, he decided to brick almost all his shots. Wow.....

2-9 from the field and 2-6 from the free throw line. What the hell is wrong with him?

[Brazil]

give more PT to Blair

For the rest TP begins to disappoint me a lot... :( and I'm a big fan

[Libri]

Hibbert is good.....

I thought he was a stiff but he has been showing some good moves.

[alchemist]

37-50

went to grab a drink in the kitchen

45-50

:lmao wtf?!

[dbestpro]

When you have the worse turn over to assist ratio of all starting point guards you think you would try to do things a little differently.

[Chieflion]

A broken hand for Bonner could very well mean we won't see him play until after the all-star break if it is serious enough.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

tp could barely held on to the ball when he shoots it at that last possession lmao

[hoopdreams11]

who get's activated Haslip or Ian

[Brazil]

Tony Parker does not like turning the ball over now. However, he decided to brick almost all his shots. Wow.....

2-9 from the field and 2-6 from the free throw line. What the hell is wrong with him?

for once he is taking care of the ball and he is passing it decently at the defensive side not a lot of things to say he is average + tonite but he decided to brick... fuck

[alchemist]

Parker shooting the ball short = tired?

[urunobili]

is Haislip or Rattliff activated?

[Ice009]

TP, Dice missed 4FTs, Pacers 8-0 run.

Spurs up 50-45 at the half

I really, really, really worried about TP, he can't finish those layups. He's playing terrible again

Jason Kidd looks like a superior player right now. Kidd is shooting better and passing better.

WTF happened to TP. I will keep asking is he injured or fatigued?

A 27 year old Tim or Manu would annihilate this 27 year old Parker. Totally destroy him.

Someone needs to show TP and tape of Tim and Manu at age 27 and say WTF are you doing out there?

[Chieflion]

for once he is taking care of the ball and he is passing it decently at the defensive side not a lot of things to say he is average + tonite but he decided to brick... fuck
Well, the only thing positive about Tony is that when he checks in, my stream will work. But when he is on the bench, stream gets blocked. He is passing the ball ok, his turnover was a careless dribble to the baseline where he lost it, but he is taking lame ass shots.

something is wrong with him I don't know what but some of his shoots are short very short maybe he is tired or demotivated or I don't know

I know dude I know it's depressing for me :depressed hard to see one of your favorite player struggling like that

He's taking good shots, shots that everyone would want him to shoot, but he's shooting them too short. Hitting the front of the rim almost every time.

[Ice009]

something is wrong with him I don't know what but some of his shoots are short very short maybe he is tired or demotivated or I don't know

If it's anything about motivation again someone needs to show him a tape of Tim and Manu at age 27 and show him what he needs to be doing.

If he is fatigued or tired then he needs a rest. He is just bad all the time now.

[Chieflion]

I don't know what Pop is up to, but Dice is leading the team in minutes today.

[Ice009]

Jefferson 2 points again. I know he was in foul trouble, but that is not good enough.

[Chieflion]

He's taking good shots, shots that everyone would want him to shoot, but he's shooting them too short. Hitting the front of the rim almost every time.
Maybe you think those are good shots, but I think he is rushing through every shot.

[carina_gino20]

It's weird to see TP miss so many of his layups.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner injured: Matt Bonner left the game in the second quarter and will not return -- with a broken hand (fractured fourth metacarpal on Bonner's right hand). Mike Monroe reports Bonner will be re-examined Monday

http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/courtside/2009/12/spurs-vs-indian.html

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

He's taking good shots, shots that everyone would want him to shoot, but he's shooting them too short. Hitting the front of the rim almost every time.

Classic sign of leg tiredness, as is missing layups.

[alchemist]

Maybe you think those are good shots, but I think he is rushing through every shot.
Shot selections have been good, I bet if Tim or Manu took those same shots people would be singing a different tune.

[Chieflion]

Bad defense. You go over the screen against a shooter, not under.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol @ TP can't get off the floor

[siraulo23]

pass the ball parker! RJ was behind you

[the crimson blur]

PASS IT TO RJ.

Basic basketball :/

[Chieflion]

RJ is missing catch and shoot and jumpers....

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn TP, damn

[Libri]

Tim gets a T.

[Chieflion]

Tim got called for a T.

[alchemist]

Spurs aren't running screens, everything is Iso...:depressed

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

TD fustrated

[Chieflion]

Well, the ref was an idiot anyway. That was a foul there.

[Spurs Brazil]

There goes another big lead

[Chieflion]

Nice pass by RJ to TD who gets fouled.

[SCdac]

I don't remember the last time Parker passed in a fast break......

[Spurs Brazil]

Make the fucking FTs!!!!!!!!!!!!

[siraulo23]

Unbelievable 3 straight missed fts

[Chieflion]

The missed free throws are depressing.

[cnyc3]

wow FTs are ridiculous today

[mystargtr34]

:lol @ these FT's

[the crimson blur]

Every night one stat...

ridiculous.

[Chieflion]

Spurs get many free throws and then miss them.

[mystargtr34]

Hibbert is really owning the Spurs tonight...

[Libri]

FTs, 46%

[Chieflion]

Bogans with a 3, then Rush hits another, Bogans then drives for a layup, goaltend by Hibbert.

[Ice009]

When Bogans is scoring at a higher clip than TP, well I don't know what to say.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol bogans the only player doing well and pop took him out?

[bdictjames]

Hibbert's a pretty good player.

Hope the Spurs pull this one out.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP playing good D

[Chieflion]

Luckily, Hibbert is ok. Don't want any injuries from either side.

[ducks]

tp atleast attacking and getting free throws

[Chieflion]

Anyone saw Bonner's hand? They wrapped it up.

[alchemist]

I was wondering when Turnobili would make an appearance.

[Libri]

Come on Manu, damn!

[Spurs Brazil]

4th on TD

We're in trouble

[bdictjames]

Tony!

[alchemist]

Lakers 90
Nets 71
:wow Lakers beating the Nets? No fucking way?!

[Chieflion]

Somebody has to step up.

[bdictjames]

WTF? 2 straight blocked Parker shots?

[Libri]

Was TP fouled or did he lose the ball?

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck you Tony.

Sit until you can play

[Chieflion]

Bogans is stepping up.

[bdictjames]

I'm glad we have Keith Bogans. Cmon Spurs, step it up.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bogans bailing us out

[Chieflion]

Hansbrough really blows. Come on Blair, make your FTs.

[Ice009]

I am sorry but TP is KILLING this team single handed.

[bdictjames]

The beast to the line

Sad thing is we're losing at home, to the Pacers.

[Brazil]

bench TP rest him 2 weeks and basta

[carina_gino20]

If only everybody could play with the same intensity as Blair does.

[Chieflion]

Nice hustle, team. Keep it up.

[Spurs Brazil]

Unbelievable

[Chieflion]

Oh no. Hansbrough with an and 1 opportunity.

[siraulo23]

this is so sad

[boutons_deux]

mediocrity

[Chieflion]

Parker, can you stop taking these bad ass shots?

[Johnny RIngo]

I am sorry but TP is KILLING this team single handed.

Hoopstats has him ranked as the 15 best PG in the league. He'll probably drop even lower after tonight. And to think he was considered top 3 last season. Pathetic.

[bdictjames]

Wow, Tony...

[itzsoweezee]

parker is just horrible

[Spurs Brazil]

TP is HURTING this team a lot now

[Libri]

Pacers are increasing their lead, sad.

[hoopdreams11]

Parker 4-14 stop shooting Bogans keeping us in the game

[Chieflion]

Thank you, Keith Bogans.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

we are doing the same thing over and over on the offensive end and get the same result BRICKS

[Spurs Brazil]

FOrd KILLING TP

PATHETIC

[Chieflion]

Fuck, are the Spurs gonna lose this?

[cnyc3]

Bogans keeping us in

[siraulo23]

wow im not watching this anymore

[bdictjames]

The Spurs are nothing without Tim Duncan.

[Chieflion]

Is this a team? Really? PATHETIC!

[Ice009]

TP got fucking burned and Dyess had to help and that gave the Pacers an open 3.



FUCK YOU TP. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH. GO BACK TO FUCKING FRANCE and don't come back until you are ready to play.
