Game Blog: Spurs @ Pistons - Feb 21

[ShoogarBear]

Thanks for screwing up our draft position spurs.

Why, is there another Darko coming out this year?

[urunobili]

come on guys we need this W!

[ElNono]

Tim pulling all the stops now...

[DPG21920]

I mean the game is still winnable, but what does that mean? Where does it lead?

[Duncan2177]

:pop: Im a stubborn SOB and thats the way its going to be.

[gm5k]

come on guys we need this W!

no we don't. it doesn't matter at all.

I just wanna see Hill and Blair play. they're the only ones I even enjoy watching anymore.

[timvp]

Kueseuester with the Phil Jackson move of doubling TD except in the fourth.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

why can't dick make something happen

[TheProfessor]

yay
:lol

[Brazil]

If you are watching this game, you are a Grade A Spurs fan.

+1 We all deserve a spur for watching this game

[Pistons < Spurs]

Why, is there another Darko coming out this year?

Actually ... yes there is. :lol

Donatas Motiejunas

[ShoogarBear]

LOL, offensive interference.

[Pauleta14]

If you are watching this game, you are a Grade A Spurs fan.


And Grade A+ if your watching it at 2.18 AM !!!!!!!! :lol

[DPG21920]

This game is going to be terrible.

You sir are a page 1 prophet.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Geez, if this keeps up, i may have to rethink my pre-season statement about a Nuggs-Spurs WCF :depressed

[Refocus]

Pathetic.

[AnthonyM]

Spurs win this game 92-91

[timvp]

The Pistons' offensive plan is to just give the ball to whoever Manu is guarding.

[SCdac]

Not a great game at all... but I think it'd look different, in a good way, with Tony Parker playing. He had 23 and 6 in early november against Detroit, and would just give us more firepower.

[ElNono]

Ben Gordon did whatever he wanted today... And I'm surprised Rip isn't in to put this game away...

[Thompson]

At this point I'm only watching to see if Ian or Malik get any garbage minutes.

[45 bank shot]

this one is on pop

[blkroadrunners]

You sir are a page 1 prophet.

A lot of the games this year were turrible.

[Amarelooms]

will you Spurs fans cheer for the new look Mavs come playoff time? I sure hope so :elephant

[TheProfessor]

Geez, if this keeps up, i may have to rethink my pre-season statement about a Nuggs-Spurs WCF :depressed
You hadn't already? You have more faith than 90% of the Spurs' fanbase.

[Mal]

And Grade A+ if your watching it at 2.18 AM !!!!!!!! :lol

For me too. Just end this crap and I will watch hockey.

[will_spurs]

And Grade A+ if your watching it at 2.18 AM !!!!!!!! :lol

+1... time difference + bad game = FAIL

[ElNono]

The Pistons' offensive plan is to just give the ball to whoever Manu is guarding.

Basically... Or Mason or Bogans... Take your pick...

[45 bank shot]

will you Spurs fans cheer for the new look Mavs come playoff time? I sure hope so :elephant
lol first round exit

[timvp]

Props to RJ for stepping up when the Big 3 isn't healthy.

[Chomag]

I mean the game is still winnable, but what does that mean? Where does it lead?

yep, it is winnable but this is the Pistons...

[Muser]

If you are watching this game, you are a Grade A Spurs fan.

I'm watching it and it's 01:21 :depressed

[ohmwrecker]

Pathetic.

How 'bout that tall ball, eh?

[Spurs Brazil]

Basically... Or Mason or Bogans... Take your pick...

You forgot Jefferson

[ginobili fan]

So everyone gave up the last little hope on Jefferson ?
Even Pop ?

[anonoftheinternets]

:( .. mannnn....

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Why, is there another Darko coming out this year?

yes there is but i am sure joe will not take him this time lol.

:wow

[Allanon]

+1 We all deserve a spur for watching this game

:lol I'm not sure why I'm still watching this. I thought it be an easy win for the Spurs tody.

[Amarelooms]

lol first round exit

not if they play the Spurs :elephant

[debo]

this team isn't very good

[Thompson]

will you Spurs fans cheer for the new look Mavs come playoff time? I sure hope so :elephant

Cut Terry and have Cuban sell the team and I'll consider not rooting against them.

[Brazil]

And Grade A+ if your watching it at 2.18 AM !!!!!!!! :lol

:toast you deserve 2 spurs

[Spurologist]

This is sad basketball.....spurs playing with no confidence. When there's ball movement, shot don't fall. When we cut into the lead, there's a bad break or turnover.....nothing short of depressing

[45 bank shot]

it's so sad that the spurs are getting raped by this piston team

[Chieflion]

Blow me. Waking up in the morning to watch this shit not in English.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

hey our crappy team is beating your crappy team.

[Mal]

So we all should buy a feeder for taxes of RJ contract ?

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

You hadn't already? You have more faith than 90% of the Spurs' fanbase.

I won't count the Spurs or Nuggets out of the WCF race until they are down 0-4 in a playoff series :ihit

[Pistons < Spurs]

Stuckey!

[ElNono]

I have good news... We saved some money trading Ratliff...

[ShoogarBear]

Props to RJ for stepping up when the Big 3 isn't healthy.

What ever happened to Game Thoughts or Game Musings or Random Typing After the Game?

[galvatron3000]

So big changes next season, eh?

[Pistons < Spurs]

10 rebounds for Jonas

[ginobili fan]

Great assist Hill

[ShoogarBear]

How long will it be until some real booing in heard in the AT&T?

[AnthonyM]

Lawl, Hack-a-Ben

[Spurs Brazil]

:lol hack-a-Ben

[timvp]

Bang-a-Ben.

Low point.

[Pistons < Spurs]

wow .... fouling Big Ben?

Hack a Ben?

seriously Pop?

[Mal]

Jerebko outrebounds Spurs..

[Libri]

Spurs are now struggling to score 90 pts.

[ElNono]

What are the Pistons? 19-32?

[blkroadrunners]

I have good news... We saved some money trading Ratliff...

Thanks Ratliff.

[TheProfessor]

I won't count the Spurs or Nuggets out of the WCF race until they are down 0-4 in a playoff series :ihit
So you'll still be rooting for us when we're in the lottery :lol

[gm5k]

I remember when Manu used to finish layups.

are we doing hackaben?

[Brazil]

:lol I'm not sure why I'm still watching this. I thought it be an easy win for the Spurs tody.

now the spurs is the team for which you say hell yeah I have a good shot this week my fantasy guys are playing the spurs !

[Mal]

wtf hack a ben ? Spurs are so loow

[kobyz]

we should tank the season!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i want Even Turner!

[Libri]

hack a Wallace

[Chieflion]

CROFL, hack a Ben. Pop, you are such a bitch.

[AnthonyM]

Hill needs to be the one "Banging-a-Ben"

He's the quickest on the team.

[Chomag]

Spurs doing hack-a- wallace?

[Pistons < Spurs]

what are the pistons? 19-32?

19-35

[Brazil]

What are the Pistons? 19-32?

lol no sir 19-35

[z0sa]

Just when i thought this game couldn't be worse, we get to watch Ben Wallace shoot free throws.

[Hank the Tank]

i didnt think the game could be any worse.

[Chomag]

wtf hack a ben ? Spurs are so loow

Yep, can't beat them with skills so....

[Allanon]

Hacking against the Pistons?

Somewhere Shaq is rolling in his grave.

[AnthonyM]

Boom baby!

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

It's finally getting to Tim.

[timvp]

What ever happened to Game Thoughts or Game Musings or Random Typing After the Game?

Pop traded them to SpursReport for a 2018 thread to save bandwidth.

[Mal]

Wallace played his Oscar role

[ShoogarBear]

Holy crap, what a terrible flop but he gets the call.

[Brazil]

CROFL, hack a Ben. Pop, you are such a bitch.

sad sad sad:depressed

[ElNono]

I have even better news... I just saved money with Geico...

[Spurologist]

Wallace with a flop in the post against TD........Stern has signaled to the refs to cut the lifeline on spurs basketball

[Chomag]

Pop you chicken shit....

[SCdac]

WTF, hack a ben worked dude shot 1-4 and it stopped the clock... why is everyone tripping.

[Amarelooms]

Is the Pistons coach an idiot...TAKE OUT WALLACE till 2 mins left :elephant

[Cane]

Lackluster performance by most of the Spurs met up with even worse officiating. Not a good combination.

[HarlemHeat37]

I hate games like these even more because we don't even get to see our Garbage Time All-Stars..

[ffadicted]

This is so sad

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Pop traded them to SpursReport for a 2018 thread to save bandwidth.

:lmao :lmao

[ginobili fan]

Pop traded them to SpursReport for a 2018 thread to save bandwidth.

:lmao

[ohmwrecker]

And horrible officiating on top of it all!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Pop traded them to SpursReport for a 2018 thread to save bandwidth.

:lmao

[Muser]

Urgh, it was a good run.

[Brazil]

Pop traded them to SpursReport for a 2018 thread to save bandwidth.

:lmao

[DesignatedT]

wow that was a terrible call on tim

[45 bank shot]

what a shame! pls quit this and your job, pop

[Mal]

Who did Pistons score 60 pts on ?

[Crookshanks]

Another game I've turned off before the end - I just can't stand watching this Spurs team. They have no confidence, and I never have the feeling they're going to win a game. It's depressing...

There's just so much wrong with this team - I don't know where to begin. We had such high hopes before the season started because, on paper, this team look formidable. But that just goes to show you that what looks good on paper doesn't always tranfer to the game.

It seems every scrub team plays like All Stars against us - there is no fear or respect for the Spurs any longer. :depressed

[DPG21920]

We had highhhhhhhh hopes, we had highhhhhhhh hopes, we had high apple pie in the skyyyyyyy hopes.

[Chomag]

WTF, hack a ben worked dude shot 1-4 and it stopped the clock... why is everyone tripping.

Dude, all it's means is you cant beat the team strait up.

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL @ all of our perimeter defenders getting torched all game while Hairston couldn't even get a chance to guard anybody..

[Allanon]

That's the first time I've seen SR mentioned in the open. :lol

What a cesspool that place is.

[Spurs Brazil]

Why TD????? It's his 4th

[Pistons < Spurs]

there ya go Big Ben!

[Libri]

I wonder if Tim is embarrassed to foul Wallace.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

we should tank the season!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i want Even Turner!

Way too late for that you can lose every game and you won't be in a position to grab Turner.

[My Fault]

I've watched all the Spurs games for so long its hard not to watch now but this is pathetic. Spurs just might miss the playoffs.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Hill got a lot of air under that one!

[Brazil]

pathetic

[Doe]

This is pathetic...

[DesignatedT]

manu and jefferson a combined 17 points.... pathetic.... with no parker.

[Mal]

List of scrubs to have a career night against Spurs ?
- Ukic last year
- this scrub from PTB on B....
- now Jerebko

[Chomag]

Fucking Pop doing a chicken shit tactic!

[ShoogarBear]

Dice should start jacking up 3s and flipping Pop off.

[Chieflion]

If Pop wanted to do it, he should have done this whenever Ben was on the court.

[Pistons < Spurs]

glad to see Dice have a good game.

[Chomag]

Eevn if spurs beat them would it prove anything?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The RRT has proven just how crap we are this year.

Why the hell didn't they move expirings for young talent at the deadline? I'm still baffled by that.

[SCdac]

Dude, all it's means is you cant beat the team strait up.

Eh, it's given us more time to get in the game, and if Ben is such a liability he shouldn't be in the game...

And it's not like we had a full team... Last time we beat Detroit Parker was our leading scorer... I'm not reading too much into this loss, in itself... Having said that, every loss we have I'm thinking "hello, next season"

[AnthonyM]

Lol, my prediction is going to come true due to Hack-A-Ben

[timvp]

Manu hits a fourth quarter three-pointer???? :wow

[Allanon]

Damn, Dice moved well on that dunk.

This would be funny if the Spurs win this.

[Pistons < Spurs]

POP is officially a BITCH in my book.

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Pistons coach leaving Wallace in for hack-a-ben

[Chomag]

I guess Detroit is just to much team for the Spurs. So they do the hack-a-ben

[Crookshanks]

It seems like this team wins in spite of coach Pop - he seems to put them in a position to lose every game, especially with all the small ball crap. It's so sad to see the demise of a once great team.

[DesignatedT]

someone please tell me why bogans is out there instead of mason when the last 3 minutes we have been fouling on purpose.............. PLEASE tell me why... there is no need for defense when we send ben to the line.....

[Chieflion]

Pitiful. So what if the Spurs win this game?

[Mal]

They should have foul Ben from beggining. Bonner, Mahinmi and Hairston with 6 useless fouls. Launch secret weapon

[ShoogarBear]

Piston announcers are saying "you have to leave Ben in to show you believe in him". Lol, what?

[Josepatches_]

:lmao

Pistons coach leaving Wallace in for hack-a-ben

True.That was very stupid.

[DesignatedT]

Fucking Pop doing a chicken shit tactic!

its working

[TDfan2007]

lol @ how bad we are...

[Doe]

The RRT has proven just how crap we are this year.

Why the hell didn't they move expirings for young talent at the deadline? I'm still baffled by that.

Because in 30 days RC is expecting them to gel :lol

[Brazil]

honestly it's a fucking shame ! hack a ben ... come on we already lost hopes to another title we should fight to keep our pride

[Spurologist]

Piston announcers are saying "you have to leave Ben in to show you believe in him". Lol, what?

:lmao

[timvp]

Come on. Get a stop.

[Mal]

No Ben, what now ?

[AnthonyM]

Lmao, "This is John Kuester realizing that Wallace is not a good free throw shooter"

And the sky is blue.

[Pistons < Spurs]

offensive glass!

[sribb43]

Pistons coach is a moron

[Budkin]

Holy fucking shit we're going to lose THIS game too? Just when I think we've hit rock bottom we keep drilling... :rolleyes

[Chomag]

True.That was very stupid.

Or how afrid they are of the Spurs.

[MannyIsGod]

POP is officially a BITCH in my book.

Give me a fucking break. His job is to win the Spurs the game or put them in position to do so - not make you happy. He extended the game with that strategy and now got them right back in it.


Hack a Ben FTW.

[Pistons < Spurs]

good god! fuck you Manu!:lmao

[blkroadrunners]

Jonas at C? WTF...

Manu 3333

[SAtown]

Manuuuuuuuuu

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[Spurologist]

manu 333333333333333333333333

[Refocus]

I lol'd hard on that play.

[Otaku]

That's all for Manu haters!

[Brazil]

its working

so what ?

[TDfan2007]

It's the Manu show! Taking stupid shots and having them go in!

[timvp]

Mannnnnuuuuu with an assist from the ref.

[Cane]

Pop, Ginobili, and Ben Wallace are all on the same page.

[Juanobili]

Manuuuuuuu!!!!

[ffadicted]

GINOBILIIi

marry me

[Amarelooms]

lol at the Piston's coach costing his team the game :elephant

[HarlemHeat37]

Bogans/Jefferson/Mason combining for: 4-15 FG, 15 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 9 fouls..wow..

[AnthonyM]

Spurs win this game 92-91

?

[will_spurs]

If we win thanks to hack-a-ben I'm really going to laugh... and cry at the same time because we suck so much.

[ginobili fan]

Manu !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on !!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

give me a fucking break. His job is to win the spurs the game or put them in position to do so - not make you happy. He extended the game with that strategy and now got them right back in it.


Hack a ben ftw.

+1

[gm5k]

LOL Spurs. they wanna drag us through the mud, get our hopes back up, and now they'll surely barely lose this game

[Muser]

Damn, we suck but Manu is a clutch motherfucker.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I do hope Manu stays on for 2 years on a reasonable contract to play out his NBA career. He's still a great 6th man, he's just not the All-Star level athlete he used to be.

[timvp]

Come get a stop.

And then start McDyess the rest of the year Pop got damn it.

[tp2021]

For the people who don't understand the love for Manu, that's why. Even when the team looks defeated, his heart never stops.

[Allanon]

Kruester was too damn stubborn keeping Ben in...he deserves to lose this. :lol

[DesignatedT]

MANUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

no where are the haters talkin shit about the hack a ben!!!!

money ass move.

[Death In June]

Dipshit bogans with the foul.

[blkroadrunners]

Bogans!!! :pctoss

[Chieflion]

Hack-A-Ben...

[TDfan2007]

Bogans does nothing but foul. It's almost comical

[MannyIsGod]

I fucking hate Keith Bogans.

[timvp]

Bogans you are such a hack.

[Brazil]

I wish we loose this one ... hack a ben fuck me

[DPG21920]

So many times the Spurs have done this and cannot get over the hump. They have to get the lead now if there is a legit chance to win.

[Chomag]

Bogans...our defencive stopper LOL

[gm5k]

Bogans fouls Hamilton. FUCK

[Chieflion]

Wrong Piston.

[Pistons < Spurs]

43 straight FT's for Rip

[Spurologist]

Fuckin Bogans....u just can't commit that foul

[pjjrfan]

We're in it

[DesignatedT]

so what ?

what do you mean so what?

do whatever necessary to win period

[ginobili fan]

1 stop baby

[timvp]

One more three Manu.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bogans is like pop's baby

[Spurs Brazil]

Stupid Bogans.

This team is full od dumb players, Bogans, Mason, RJ, the IQ of thie team is damn awful

[sribb43]

and now the Manu haters come out :lol

[Chomag]

Bad shot Manu....

[timvp]

Nice flop Manu.

[AnthonyM]

Wow, Hamilton...come on now

[Hank the Tank]

nice flop.

[Mal]

So obvious that Gino will missed every 3 now

[Chieflion]

And Manu draws a charge.

[MannyIsGod]

One good flop deserves another.

[tp2021]

Yes!!! There's the acting I miss so much!

[Libri]

Great D by Manu's nose.

[AnthonyM]

Mason missed 3-pointer coming right up...

[timvp]

Thanks Rip.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Rip's an idiot.

[TDfan2007]

lol @ the Pistons trying to give us the game.

[Chieflion]

Rip Hamilton trying to hand the Spurs the game.

[sribb43]

WOW....that was a foul??

[ohmwrecker]

Manu fouled Rip with his schnoz.

[Chomag]

lol neither manu or hamelton did anything wrong

[timvp]

Come on. Get this score.

[Pistons < Spurs]

ok Piston fans .... time to root for ping pong balls!

[timvp]

Manu is backkkkkkkkkkkk

[ShoogarBear]

lol Kuester

[Otaku]

Manu is officially killing the pistons!

[will_spurs]

This is so comical.

[Brazil]

what do you mean so what?

do whatever necessary to win period

good for you bro for me it's just fucking pathetic especially for a meaningless RS game

[Pistons < Spurs]

Overtime!

[Mal]

Holy shit, OT

[blkroadrunners]

Overtime.

[MannyIsGod]

Fucking offensive rebounds. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

[timvp]

Holy shyt

[Spurs Brazil]

Ot

[Spurologist]

Ot!!!

[gm5k]

My heart lol

that would have been fitting to lose because of an offensive rebound

[SCdac]

Manu is a Piston-killer... *thinking back to 2005*

crazy finish.... OT here we come

[ShoogarBear]

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Overtime?

:vomit:

[Amarelooms]

lol at the Pistons and Spurs...lol at flopnobli :elephant

[AnthonyM]

Hack-A-Ben FTW!

[pjjrfan]

Damn, if only manu makes that one miss. Arghhhh

[Chieflion]

I can't believe the Pistons suck more than the Spurs in crunch time.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

LOL pop is one genius

[HarlemHeat37]

This was more about the Pistons' coach choking and Rip Hamilton being an idiot..

[will_spurs]

Grade A++ fans watching OT at 02:40am :D

[Death In June]

Let Manu close this shit out. Fucking relegate Bogans to the bench, and keep two bigs in and they'll win this one.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

:lmao what a game.

id laugh harder if it wasn't for the fact that the nuggs got done by the wizards :drunk

[timvp]

Prince almost dislocated McDyess from his body.

[ginobili fan]

Manu is a Piston-killer... *thinking back to 2005*

crazy finish.... OT here we come

2005 :toast

[MannyIsGod]

FUCK FUCK FUCK I HATE KEITH BOGANS

Good job with Hack a ben though Pop.

Now get your head out of your ass and stop playing Bogans.


GOD DAMN I HATE KEITH BOGANS.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Manu and Dice need to be starting.

[superjames1992]

Whew! Great comeback by the Spurs in the final minutes to force overtime against Detroit.

That said, the fact that the Spurs cannot beat Detroit in regulation is a bit disconcerting...

[badfish22]

wow. You lucky spurs :lol

[carina_gino20]

lol manu doesn't want to lose

[sribb43]

Spurs win this one...no point in playing OT

Kruester and RIP handing the Spurs the W

[Spurologist]

Manu is officially in Hamilton's head....

OT plan: Give manu the ball and every one GET THE FUCK OUTTA THE WAY

[timvp]

Every play should go through Manu. Every. Play.

[AnthonyM]

Lol at everyone who turned off the game...it doesn't mean much but meh it's still exciting

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice is playing well, normal lineup bring us back, maybe it's time for a little small ball in OT...

[Spurologist]

Manu is officially in Hamilton's head....

OT plan: Give manu the ball and every one GET THE FUCK OUTTA THE WAY

[HarlemHeat37]

The good news about OT is that Keith Bogans has 5 fouls..the bad news is that Mason would be coming in..
