Game Blog: Spurs @ Blazers - Feb. 4

[ezau]

shit shit shit. This team is going nowhere this year

[Chieflion]

We deserve to lose this game.

[alchemist]

:lmao clutch turnovers, clutch 3's after a breakdown play from the opponent.... I've seen this movie a couple times already :lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

Too slow on the rotation..obviously..

This team is such a joke..8-point lead and all the momentum but can't play down the stretch against a soft Portland team..

[TDfan2007]

lol this team is so predictable it's pathetic...truly pathetic. We can't even beat the Blazers without Roy, can't beat the Nuggets without Melo. I'm wondering if these sorry bunch of hacks can even beat Duke or UConn

[KuntryDude]

Bad lost! Ugly one too!

[Ice009]

WE NEED a MAJOR TRADE.

[SCdac]

Spurs really ran out of gas these last 5 minutes... tough to watch.

[benefactor]

You'd think they would start guarding Webster. He hasn't missed from distance tonight.

[urunobili]

fuck this weak time... last fucking time I invest in this soft ass pieces of shit

[Crookshanks]

Damn these Spurs. Defense isn't even in their vocabulary this season. Even the announcers commented on the fact that these were the types of games the Spurs always won in the past, but they just aren't up to it defensively anymore.

This is a heartbreaking season.

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs deserve this loss. Such a fucking pathetic team. They shrivel up like cowards against every .500 team.

[Libri]

Spurs stuck on 13 points.

[easy7]

Well, I still think the rodeo trip will be 2-6, so this is expected.

[Chomag]

Uhggg! what makes this worse is that Spurs are playing a still very hurt Portland team.

[Ice009]

What an epic meltdown.

[stealthjbravo]

I'm sick and tired of watching these cockless bitches play. WTF?

[boutons_deux]

Spurs play about their best game of the season, and still can't win. Nice way to kill your momentum and confidence.

[Killakobe81]

I am a Pop supporter and defender ...but why not a timeout to get Parker back in the game?
Yes he mised his last shot but he had fresh legs and carried the spurs in the first half ...
Great drive by Manu

[alchemist]

Manu couldn't do that in the last 25 seconds? :bang

[mazerrackham]

why do we wait until 26 seconds in the quarter to drive into the fucking lane.

[doobs]

Has mason played at all?

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs play about their best game of the season, and still can't win. Nice way to kill your momentum and confidence.

Spurs shot 44% and Portland shot 51%..how the hell is this our best game in any way?..

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Damn! That Webster 3 ball left the commentators speechless

[TDfan2007]

I'd like to thank Manu for showing up all game and playing with heart.

The rest of the team...well I hope you guys enjoy cancun in early May. Let me know how it is.

[siraulo23]

we could have fucking put this game away

This team fucking sucks

[ElNono]

16-6 run by Portland in he last 6+ minutes

[easy7]

Well, it might not be over yet unless portland goes for the dagger again.

[Sobe_Kucks]

16-4 in the last 6:32. That should be the sig of the 2009-2010 Spurs... why can't we execute in the 4th????

[slick'81]

duncans look says it all

[timtonymanu]

I really applaud Portland. They really try hard to win. it sucks they are so low in the standings.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

the turning point started when hill drew that foul from blake but missed two out of three FTs, and RJ tip out to TP and still couldn't score...

[Ice009]

Well I cannot be more pissed off, but I'm not giving up guys.

LOL two posts ago may have give that indication, but I will stick with this team.

[Killakobe81]

Webster though no star is not a scrub portland is crazy deep ...they need to move some of these young guys they are not getting a chance to flourish ...

[Crookshanks]

Spurs deserve this loss. Such a fucking pathetic team. They shrivel up like cowards against every .500 team.

I know this is crude - but was everybody on this team castrated? They are sooooo soft down the stretch. It's like they're afraid to win.

[stealthjbravo]

this team fucking sucks

[Supergirl]

Spurs play about their best game of the season, and still can't win. Nice way to kill your momentum and confidence.

This isn't the Spurs' best game...only Manu and Blair score off the bench, they could rebound better, and RJ and Dice didn't give us much offensively tonight.

[ElNono]

LOL Pop

[slick'81]

wtf was that

[Truckules]

Has mason played at all?

No and it either means Mason is getting traded within 2 days or Pop is an idiot.

[SouthTexasRancher]

Win or lose tonight this is a really bad Spurs team and RC & Pop better get us some players who can play without their f*ing head stuck up their ass in the 4th quarter. We look like a bunch of 3rd graders who have been handed a basketball for the first time. We have really, really bad chemistry and a team of players with low basketball IQ.

Enuf is enuf Pop. Get us a big and get us a guy who can take over a game in the 4th qtr. and players who want to play defense. Do whatever it takes outside of trading Timmy. Get him some players so he has a chance of a fifth ring. He looks as frustrated as us fans. :ihit

[KuntryDude]

LMAO @ bogans....what a waste!

[phxspurfan]

yesss

[mazerrackham]

hmmm, we got a chance

[slick'81]

uh oh is that a ray of hope

[ElNono]

Here we go.. We have a shot

[Ice009]

I'd like to thank Manu for showing up all game and playing with heart.

The rest of the team...well I hope you guys enjoy cancun in early May. Let me know how it is.

TP played a great game too.

[ace3g]

well atleast they fouled the right guy, miller has been horrible from the FT line tonight

[hitmanyr2k]

Go for another quick two and put the pressure on the Blazers to make foul shots.

[Truckules]

Well, looks like they'll at least get a shot to send it to OT.

[slick'81]

3 point game spurs ball

[siraulo23]

I know whats coming, Dice for 3!!!

[024]

put michael finley in! he's made for these situations.

[stealthjbravo]

Fuck them I hope they lose. They play like fucking vags

[ffadicted]

Well folks.... this is RMJ time right here, but oh wait, 0 minutes lol

[Killakobe81]

Miller chokes ...Spurs still in it!
no need to give up ...Manu showed life in the 2nd of back2back ...
That alone should be a silver lining ...

[ElNono]

We need Bonner to take it so he can have +9 in 7 mins

[Ice009]

the turning point started when hill drew that foul from blake but missed two out of three FTs, and RJ tip out to TP and still couldn't score...

AHH yeah man. Good call. When Hill missed those two free throws I said "check this point of the game".

[Libri]

don't be stupid and do a quick foul

[slick'81]

that is weird mason has got no run tonight in favor of finley

[Spurologist]

FIN tres

[slick'81]

the way things are going finley has to make this lol

[easy7]

They better not go for the quick 2, that shit never works.

[ffadicted]

Damn Manu, damn

[slick'81]

damn good play wide open look

[Chieflion]

The players are stupid. Nothing else needs to be said.

[mazerrackham]

.................................ginobili......... ......................

[hitmanyr2k]

FUUUUUCK. You're supposed to make that Gino.

[Refocus]

Why cant we make wide open shots!?!?!?! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[DesignatedT]

beautiful play.

[slick'81]

manu couldnt connect

[urunobili]

fuck you Manu for real...

[Crookshanks]

that is weird mason has got no run tonight in favor of finley

Why is it weird - Pop loves Finley and now that he's healthy, he'll get the minutes.

[ElNono]

Well, that's been our season... no stops and can't make a shot

[Ice009]

WOW Spurs are epic chokers.

That was a brilliant play. magnificent play, but choke city Spurs.

[Spurologist]

:pctoss

[alchemist]

:lmao :lol :lol :lmao epic ST meltdown

[lil_penny]

Wow that play got ginobli free. Thank god he didn't hit it! I was about to have a heart attack lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

sigh...

[Killakobe81]

Wow grat playcall by Pop ...again you guys need to pay the man respect...how does Manu miss?
Collins respects Pop's gangsta!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Wow Manu

Oh man, I can't believe he missed that

Typical of the season so far

[NickiRasgo]

Lol Spurs!

[easy7]

Turn off the lights. Fat lady is singing her ass off...

[timtonymanu]

I knew that was gonna happen. If you think this Spurs team is gonna win this year, you're a delusional fuck.

[Johnny RIngo]

Ginobili and his awful shooting for this season continues. Old Manu would have made that.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Oh boy.. Is that the worst miss of Ginobili's career? Open Open Three pointer ..that too from the corner..and he clanks. there goes the game.

[Chieflion]

Pop would have looked like a genius here if Manu hits that.

[stealthjbravo]

fucking cold offense

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Bs...

[slick'81]

again what a tough loss

[Killakobe81]

Wow that play got ginobli free. Thank god he didn't hit it! I was about to have a heart attack lol

your heart must of stopped brilliant play design i may steal that for my next coaching season!

[stealthjbravo]

RJ? wtf. that pussy

[TDfan2007]

This game = our season in a nutshell.

[gm5k]

I knew that was gonna happen. If you think this Spurs team is gonna win this year, you're a delusional fuck.

true. well I don't know about "f*ck" part, but delusional is pretty accurate.

[Killakobe81]

Andre is a dumbass ...

[KuntryDude]

Boooooooooooo Spurs Boooooooooooo!!!!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

miller has lost it tonight lol

[slick'81]

im out this bitch what a cluster fck of a 4th quarter

[Johnny RIngo]

Wow grat playcall by Pop ...again you guys need to pay the man respect...how does Manu miss?
Collins respects Pop's gangsta!

Manu's been missing all season. He's sub 40% for the year.

[stealthjbravo]

the team is over. fucking close it down

[Sobe_Kucks]

Mason is probably out, hence not playing. We got 29.2 million that warms the bench during crunch time. Swwwweeeet.

[IronMexican]

crofl

[TDfan2007]

This is the worst crunch time team of the Duncan era...and it's starts with Tim himself. He's been GOD awful in the 4th quarter this season.

[raspsa]

Congratulations Blazers! You wanted this win more.

[boutons_deux]

badly outshot, badly outrebounded, badly out ASTed, badly outplayed.

[KuntryDude]

We better shop for a big. If not, i doubt if we'd even make the playoffs. There are couple of teams below 8 seed that look much better than us.

[Killakobe81]

Manu's been missing all season. He's sub 40% for the year.

But Manu was hot down the stretch before that ...
RJ had moments but i put this more on him than on Manu or Pop

[timtonymanu]

Swept by the fuckin Jazz, Bulls, and the Blazers.

Pathetic!

[SouthTexasRancher]

Well lets just go ahead and lose every season series this season. We stink like a ton of fresh cow patties. Let's go for the Lottery and find a way to dump Dice, RJ & Bogans. Hell we were a lot better last year and we stunk then. Time we get some real athletes with length and who enjoy playing defense and can make shots when it matters.

Shit, I should have gotten drunk tonight. :toast

[ElNono]

:depressed

[DesignatedT]

wow thought we played a good game till the last 3 minutes. very nice play by pop at the end. got to hit that manu. hill missed many wide open shots as well.. duncan didnt play particularly well also.

FUCK

[Killakobe81]

Pop would have looked like a genius here if Manu hits that.

He is that just would of confirmed it ...

[Behrooz24]

Fail. :(

[siraulo23]

tim fucking sucked in that 6 min stretch

[Quiet Strength]

Man that was ugly... Its getting old seeing the spurs keep losing but oh well. Hopefully they can get their shit together and stop playing soft. Go spurs

[lil_penny]

Great game spurs fans! Very exciting last few mins..

[easy7]

Still the same old story, they don't get shit for trying. I mean Portland had a 13 point swing in the last 10 mins...

[alchemist]

:lmao it hurts so much that all you can do is laugh it off :lol

[timtonymanu]

Blazers, Grizzlies, Rockets, Thunder, Suns, Nuggets, Lakers, Mavs

All 8 deserve to make the playoffs. Let's just tank so this team can wake up and realize it's not 03-07 anymore.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

we are so not going to reach 50 win this year....

[Chieflion]

Sorry, but stupid teams don't win championships.

[Killakobe81]

This is the worst crunch time team of the Duncan era...and it's starts with Tim himself. He's been GOD awful in the 4th quarter this season.

Now you guys are gong too far ...
duncan is sucking because he is being doubled late in almost every 4th quarter ...
howard did a good job on tim but without Help Duncan DESTROYS him ...
Tim needs help you guys need youth Pau or Bynum for TIM!!!! LOL

[Juanobili]

This game = our season in a nutshell.

yeah seriously

[Cant_Be_Faded]

damn that was painful

this team is fucked

[ElNono]

They took it to another level at the end and we couldn't respond. The defense was great in the second half overall. We couldn't make a shot when it mattered. We wasted two 8 point leads in the first half and that cam to bite us in the ass.
Great game from Tony, Blair and Manu overall

[ginobili fan]

it's sad to see Hill over a 14 million guy during money time.
Jefferson=fail.

[Ice009]

wow thought we played a good game till the last 3 minutes. very nice play by pop at the end. got to hit that manu. hill missed many wide open shots as well.. duncan didnt play particularly well also.

FUCK

FUCK how many points did the Blazers score in the last 3 minutes?

Was is 20 points in 3 minutes?

[stealthjbravo]

Get rid of everyone and build the team around blair and hill

[alchemist]

p3-eavMSBnk

:lol :depressed

[Ice009]

Now you guys are gong too far ...
duncan is sucking because he is being doubled late in almost every 4th quarter ...
howard did a good job on tim but without Help Duncan DESTROYS him ...
Tim needs help you guys need youth Pau or Bynum for TIM!!!! LOL

I might be happy for Tim if you made that trade.

[Sobe_Kucks]

This game is a microcosm of the Spurs's season. 4th qtr execution and couldn't close out a game against a good team. Defenseive lapses in crunch time, careless turn overs, and of course there is the obligitory decent shooter who has a career shooting night. That folks, like it or not is our season... Even in the win last night, it was the same story. But at least Chuck Barkley thinks we're the #2 team in the West! We've got to beat the Lakers/Nuggets after losing this game to make this a successful road trip.

[celldweller]

Jefferson is absolutely worthless. He plays lazy! Now were stuck with this clown!!!

[easy7]

So are we now 1/2 behind from 8th place in the standings...?

[ginobili fan]

Is Mason Gone ?

[slick'81]

barkley with a great point on the back2back syndrome

[stealthjbravo]

playoff chances are FUCKING over!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please Pop just tank the rest of the fucking season. Unless that has been the plan for awhile

[Johnny RIngo]

FUCK how many points did the Blazers score in the last 3 minutes?

Was is 20 points in 3 minutes?

Spurs couldn't close the game last night either. Almost got McGrady'd by a fucking rookie.

[gm5k]

and of course there is the obligitory decent shooter who has a career shooting night.

:rollin so true.

[Ice009]

LOL Kenny "Sometimes when you lose you actually win"

LOL these guys are so kind to us.

[Sobe_Kucks]

:lmao it hurts so much that all you can do is laugh it off :lol

Laugh it off? I threw my remote across the room!:bang

[ohmwrecker]

Blazers had no Roy, no Outlaw, no Pryzbilla.
Spurs had no heart, no fire, no clutch.

Duncan got outplayed by Howard.

[Budkin]

We crumble like a cookie in crunch time... almost happened last night just like this.

[siraulo23]

What's so frustrating is that, we played pretty good in 3 1/2 quarters

and played so fucking bullshit for that 6 min stretch

just poor execution

turnovers, defensive lapses, poor offensive execution

[SouthTexasRancher]

Well time for the Super Bowl, baseball season and the NBA Lottery. Maybe we'll get lucky and get the #1 pick again.

Keep Timmy, Hill and Blair and trade the rest of them suckers. We had a good 11 year run and as they say all good things must come to an end. Time to seriously rebuild and get rid of the 8 or so non-factors presently on the roster. Pop needs to wake up and get over keeping old guys. The league has passed him by. He is like the old player who doesn't know it's over. Wise up Pop!!!

[Sobe_Kucks]

spurs couldn't close the game last night either. Almost got mcgrady'd by a fucking rookie.

+1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Quiet Strength]

playoff chances are FUCKING over!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please Pop just tank the rest of the fucking season. Unless that has been the plan for awhile

:rolleyes

[Ice009]

Great game from Tony.

Solid effort from Manu.

The rest sucked.

[Small Ball]

I fucked the Spurs again. Thank you Pop.

[Josepatches_]

Now you guys are gong too far ...
duncan is sucking because he is being doubled late in almost every 4th quarter ...
howard did a good job on tim but without Help Duncan DESTROYS him ...
Tim needs help you guys need youth Pau or Bynum for TIM!!!! LOL


Everytime he pust the ball on the floor he's being doubled,not only in the 4th quarter.

But we are not taking advantage of that play.I would play TD in the post all the game

[boutons_deux]

With Spurs' schedule, and right now just 2 Ls ahead of 9th seed, missing the playoffs is a real possibility.

[Spurologist]

LOL Kenny "Sometimes when you lose you actually win"

LOL these guys are so kind to us.

I know.....Chuck and Kenny need to start calling being out for lack of effort. Truly pathetic execution down the stretch

[stealthjbravo]

With Spurs' schedule, and right now just 2 Ls ahead of 9th seed, missing the playoffs is a real possibility.


its a certainty at this point :bang:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang

[birdy219]

Why doesn't Pop play our 3 pt. shooters when we need them? :depressed

When Hill missed those 2 freethrows, I had a bad feeling about this one. :rolleyes

Why did Pop bring in Dice and not return back to Blair? :bang

Why was Finley even playing in this game? :wtf

Where is Mason and Bonner? :cuss

I am so tired of losing in the same fashion every time. :ihit

What is Pop thinking? :nope

I really thought that we were gonna lose this game, but they gave me hope and it is just frustrating to watch them play like this. :pctoss

Why is it that Howard turns back the clock whenever he sees the Spurs? :vomit:

Why did Pop play RJ at the end when he wasn't shooting or being a threat to shoot? :smchode:

This allows teams to double Timmy and cause turnovers because they were playing 5 on 2. :frying:

Again, where was Blair at the end? :violin

Pop is making me ill with his lineup decisons...Finley please :sick

I am finished with my rant in this post. :soapbox::violin:whine

I am just sad about this team now. :cry

Pop should have left Timmy on the bench. He NEVER showed up in the 4th at all. He let Howard take his manhood. :nutkick:

[SouthTexasRancher]

Blazers had no Roy, no Outlaw, no Pryzbilla.
Spurs had no heart, no fire, no clutch..


Yep!

[SouthTexasRancher]

Blazers, Grizzlies, Rockets, Thunder, Suns, Nuggets, Lakers, Mavs

All 8 deserve to make the playoffs. Let's just tank so this team can wake up and realize it's not 03-07 anymore.


It's Lottery time!!!

[ohmwrecker]

Calm down..Tim is allowed to have a bad game...this is a back to back game; and the Spurs suck in back to back games.

No shit?! They should have won this game. Don't tell me to calm down. I am perfectly calm. Just disappointed.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

We lost to Denver without Melo. And now a very battered Portland team.

We fucked. Hope we find another Blair this summer.

[Killakobe81]

why Does Kenny hate on every great shooter?
The longer he is retired the greater smith was in his OWN mind ...

[Sobe_Kucks]

I know.....Chuck and Kenny need to start calling being out for lack of effort. Truly pathetic execution down the stretch

Collins did. His words within 1:00 were, "I can see why the Spurs have lost some games now this year. You can just see that their execution has not been crisp. They had the lead, they were playing well...." I hope Chuck and Kenny are right but damn... Collins is spot on saying what everyone on this board already knows.

[easy7]

This team reminds me of that Washington Redskins team that went all out and bought the best players to win a championship that year and did not even made the playoffs. Why? Lack of chemistry between the players.

[siraulo23]

thank god they broadcast real nba on duncan's 20 000 points here in australia

helps cool myself down after that frustrating game

[Sobe_Kucks]

If we're this angry I wonder how angry Peter Holt is????

[SouthTexasRancher]

If we're this angry I wonder how angry Peter Holt is????

I feel bad for Peter Holt because he went along with RC & Pop thinking like all of us that we really had a good chance at another title. I just can't believe that RJ, Dice & Bogans show NO heart. They need to man up and give their salaries back to Holt.

[Killakobe81]

That TMAC shit was sick ...
But respect the gangsta ... Kobe was sick in that decade ...

lebron is taking over this year ...still needs title ...

[easy7]

If we're this angry I wonder how angry Peter Holt is????

Right about now Peter is thinking "It really sucks to be me right about now"
Pop is going to have a hard sell convincing Peter to go over the luxury tax again.

Blazers rally for 96-93 victory over Spurs (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap?gid=2010020422&prov=ap)
By Anne M. Peterson

Resiliency is the Trail Blazers’ trademark this season.

Despite a slew of injuries—the most recent to All-Star guard Brandon Roy— Portland has managed to win in unexpected ways.

Case in point: Thursday night’s 96-93 come-from-behind victory over the San Antonio Spurs.

“You’ve got to be tenacious,” Webster said. “You can’t have any letdowns. If things don’t go your way you don’t carry it with you. We did that tonight and walked out of here with this win.”

The Spurs, boosted by the return of Tony Parker, led by 10 points early in the fourth quarter but the Blazers made it 85-83 on Nicolas Batum’s layup.

After Manu Ginobili hit a jumper for the Spurs, Martell Webster’s 3-pointer narrowed it to 87-86 with 3:38 left.

Aldridge hit a jumper with 2:54 left to give the Blazers the lead and Webster dropped another 3 to make it 91-87 with 22.9 seconds to go.

With the victory, Portland swept the three-game series over San Antonio this season. The Blazers have won their last five against the Spurs.

Webster finished with 21 points and made all five of his 3-pointers.

“I was just living in the moment. It was a great feeling,” Webster said. “I’m glad we got that win and the tiebreaker in case it counts for something down the road.”

Ginobili led the Spurs with 21 points and Tim Duncan had 15 points and 12 rebounds.

“Handled the ball well all night then turned it over down the stretch and didn’t shoot well,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. “The combination of poor shooting and the turnovers down the stretch gave us the loss.”

Parker missed the previous three games with a mid left ankle sprain. Parker, who started, pounced on the Blazers early with 16 first-half points and 18 for the game.

Portland remained without All-Star guard Brandon Roy, who continues to nurse a left hamstring injury.

Roy, who is averaging 23.1 points, has missed 11 of the Blazers’ last 12 games. He was originally hurt during the third quarter of the Blazers’ 120-108 home win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Jan. 13.

Portland coach Nate McMillan said before the game that he is hopeful Roy will return for Saturday night’s game at home against the Los Angeles Lakers.

“This year we’ve lost to the Blazers twice without Brandon Roy, lost to Denver without Carmelo,” Spurs forward Richard Jefferson said. “We just haven’t played well and hit shots the last six minutes of the game.”

George Hill’s jumper put the Spurs ahead 46-38 midway through the second quarter but Portland tied it at 46 after three consecutive baskets from rookie Dante Cunningham.

The Blazers took a 49-48 lead on Webster’s 3-pointer, but the Spurs went into halftime with a 53-51 edge.

Ginobili hit consecutive 3-pointers to put the Spurs up 74-66 at the end of the third and San Antonio began to pull away.

Roy’s injury was the latest to strike the Blazers. The team lost center Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla to season-ending injuries. Forwards Batum and Rudy Fernandez each missed a significant number of games with injury, and forward Travis Outlaw remains out with a fractured foot.

Portland was coming off a 118-105 loss to the Jazz in Utah on Wednesday night. The Spurs were also playing the second of a back-to-back after a 115-113 victory at Sacramento.

NOTES: The last time the two teams met, Roy also watched from the bench with a sore shoulder. Jerryd Bayless made his first career start and scored a career-high 31 points with seven assists to help Portland to a 98-94 road victory on Dec. 23. … It is the first time that Portland has swept the season series against the Spurs since 1996-97.

[timtonymanu]

28-20 is pathetic and that was our easy part of the schedule.

some of these guys play like they're counting on the big 3 to pick up the slack for them. everyone but the big 3 + blair and hill should be on the trading block.
