Game Blog: Spurs vs. Suns - 2/28/10

[DPG21920]

Hill always misses open shots vs. good teams..always..

So why is he missing today?

[benefactor]

I see what you did there :lol
:tu

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice having trouble with Amare

[itzsoweezee]

why is Lamar Odom in that stupid Taco Bell commercial with Barkley? Seems so random.

[Chieflion]

Taco bell and Charles Barkley = top highlight of the Suns-Spurs game.

Small ball comes in a close second.

[timtonymanu]

Taco bell and Charles Barkley = top highlight of the Suns-Spurs game.

Small ball comes in a close second.

Bogans starting again is third.

[ohmwrecker]

Hubie fucking Brown gets it.

"It's called 'basket-ball'"

Hubie Brown > Doug Collins

[HarlemHeat37]

So why is he missing today?

You don't think Phoenix is good?..

[benefactor]

Damn, Amare has got it going now. We have no one to match up with him. Dice is not cutting it right now.
"Ian Mahinmi........who the fuck is that?"

[DPG21920]

You don't think Phoenix is good?..

They are all right, but it was more of a joke/jab.

[Chieflion]

CROFL at Pop trying to coach.

[TDfan2007]

lol "ball don't lie"

[DPG21920]

I would love to see Ian matched up against Amare. Not because I think he could shut him down, but he could learn a lot. He could not do any worse than Dice right now.

[DPG21920]

That was one hell of a board by Manu.

[ohmwrecker]

I don't know why they don't run more high/low with Duncan and Dice.

[Chieflion]

Manu! You mad?

[TDfan2007]

Manu rebounding beautifully

[crc21209]

Manu needs to stop with the dumbass passes :td

[DPG21920]

WTF was that Manu? What a shitty pass. At least he is boarding like a man. Hard to stay mad at him.

[Chieflion]

The camera just took a possible mug shot of Pop.

[crc21209]

OMG Dice with a THROWDOWN!

[taps]

Sit Mason Jr, that piece of SHIT


if his shot isn't going down he's a BIG defensive liability

When Hairston's shot isn't he's falling still a defensive weapon

[Chieflion]

McDyess can still jump?

[timtonymanu]

I miss Bowen guarding Nash

Oh and Timmy to Dice...

[itzsoweezee]

beautiful pass by duncan!

[Sausage]

beautiful pass from duncan to dyess

[quentin_compson]

Nice play by Tim.

[Muser]

Spurs have had a shit load of dunks :lol

[DPG21920]

Amare is killing us.

[crc21209]

Travel my ass...

[HarlemHeat37]

TP with the crab dribble..

[TDfan2007]

Tony with great energy and defense so far, but Nash just keeps hitting tough shot after tough shot.

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn

[Refocus]

If the Suns score here.. so help me god..

[DPG21920]

Don't give up a score here. Especially not off a quick miss and put back.

Nice.

[DesignatedT]

garbage

[RobSM64]

Wtf?

[Refocus]

Fml

[crc21209]

Wow....fucking great...

[benefactor]

roflmao

[Pero]

:lol

[Chieflion]

Amare scores a 3. LOL Spurs!

[Spurologist]

Amare is killing us.

:pctoss

[Warlord23]

Long live Popovich!!

[Muser]

Amare for 3...

[timtonymanu]

I fucking knew it!!!

Lord have mercy. Why does that always happen?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

loooooooool o god

[Doe]

Of course he makes that...

[Spurs Brazil]

SHIT defense, PATHETIC

[Dex]

Amare hits his first fucking three pointer of the year.

How many times have we heard that story?

[TIMMYD!]

Why am I not surprised even Amar'''''''''''''e could hit that fucking 3?

[DPG21920]

Spurs have guys making shots like this against them all the time now because they are just so confident they can beat the Spurs.

[TDfan2007]

LOL! And that, ladies and gentlemen, is our season in a nutshell.

[Pero]

LMAO Nash. :D

[taps]

hairston got 3.5 seconds more playing time. JOY!

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Nash: That's what you get when you play the suns. A lot of defense

[DPG21920]

Amare hits his first fucking three pointer of the year.

How many times have we heard that story?

It is called Stuckyitis or The Bonner-Syndrome.

[lil_penny]

Steve nash just out there having fun

[timtonymanu]

lol that was Bogan's man, btw.

[benefactor]

"That's what you get when you play the Suns, a lot of defense."

I admit...I lol'ed.

[EricB]

Who's deactivated for hairston can't see the game..

[Chomag]

Why am I not surprised even Amar'''''''''''''e could hit that fucking 3?

It's confidence. Teams just have no fear when playing the Spurs, and rightfully so.

[HornetLoveJones]

Gotta love Nash

[ElNono]

Good thing Amare was covered by defensive specialist Bogans...

[Xylus]

Wow, Amare's 3 was gorgeous. He's got such a great form.

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL @ Bogans..he's just so incredibly bad..

At least Finley hasn't played(yet)..silver lining..

[Dex]

Spurs have guys making shots like this against them all the time now because they are just so confident they can beat the Spurs.

This is probably at least partially true.

Teams aren't afraid to come play in San Antonio anymore. They're not constantly worrying about stifling defense, or cherishing the rare open looks they would've gotten once upon a time.

It's gotta make a basketball player a lot more comfortable to go in there and shoot their team to a win.

I miss Spurs Defense. :(

[benefactor]

Wow, Amare's 3 was gorgeous. He's got such a great form.
He should shoot more of them.

[gameFACE]

I don't know that I can even count the number of times there are less than 10 seconds left in a quarter or half and someone scores on the Spurs broken defense to take a lead.

[LegendaryFan44]

Spurs look beat..absolutely defeated walking off the court..Suns have the confidense..Bogans started..loss..

[timtonymanu]

Spurs have guys making shots like this against them all the time now because they are just so confident they can beat the Spurs.

it's crazy how the times have changed. Spurs use to intimidate other teams. Now the Spurs are the laughing stock of the NBA because of first and foremost, Pop.

[DPG21920]

At least it was not the big man hitting a clutch 3 in the playoffs to force overtime. They can't do that.

[Chieflion]

Look, I hit 3s with Amare all the time in 2k10 in practice game mode. What is the surprise here?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

nash :lol

[ohmwrecker]

This team should rip Pop a new asshole at halftime. A little role reversal.

[quentin_compson]

Damn, Amare.

[jdev82]

hubie brown is so smart. the only announcer worth listening to

[timtonymanu]

Who's deactivated for hairston can't see the game..

The saviour Ian.

[EricB]

Who is deactivated to make room for hairston?

[TheMACHINE]

"Thats what happens when you play the Suns...Alot of defense"

[Dex]

Speaking of which, who would've thought we'd be watching a basketball game where they are talking about how good Phoenix has been defensively compared to how bad San Antonio has been? :downspin:

[Warlord23]

In all seriousness, I never thought I'd see the day when a Nash/Amare-era Suns team would top us in both blocks and offensive rebounds

[ffadicted]

Speaking of which, who would've thought we'd be watching a basketball game where they are talking about how good Phoenix has been defensively compared to how bad San Antonio has been? :downspin:

:lol:lol

:(:(

:rolleyes:rolleyes

:depressed:depressed

[EricB]

The saviour.


:lmao that's awesome


Not in a good way either...

[Chomag]

Who's deactivated for hairston can't see the game..

What the hell was him being in for 1 play anyway? Only thing that might accomplish is frustrating your players... Maybe Pop just gets off toying with these young guys liek that.

I just don't understand it. Someone needs to puch Pop in the nose. The sick bastard....

[jdev82]

wow, amare's 3 was gorgeous. He's got such a great form.

lol 5-14

[Spurologist]

hubie brown is so smart. the only announcer worth listening to

personally, he has been homerish garbage but he made some good points on the spurs suckage this season

[crc21209]

:lol at Jon Barry saying the Suns could be a Top 4 team in the West.

[HornetLoveJones]

lolololol @ Byron Scott analyzing a game

Fool shouldn't be anywhere near an NBA game or watching it.
121-63... how can he even show his damn face on national tv

[jdev82]

eat shit crc21208

[davi78239]

Like usual, Jon Barry dissing the spurs

[jdev82]

lolololol @ Byron Scott analyzing a game

tru dat

[Amuseddaysleeper]

At least the Spurs are taking it to the rim, Jefferson looks aggressive, and Blair and Dice are playing well.

I'm also happy with most of Pop's lineups, but I'm hoping we never see any Bogans in the second half.

Mason also needs to sit.

[jdev82]

RJ has been great. keep it up!

[jdev82]

why ami pink?

[jdev82]

how much longer?

[DPG21920]

Like usual, Jon Barry dissing the spurs

Is he not telling the truth?

[jdev82]

this forum sucks

[jdev82]

seriously

[Chieflion]

eat shit crc21208


why ami pink?

Take a look at your own replies and you will know why.

[jdev82]

600 posts!

[Warlord23]

31 of the Suns' 52 points are from the C/PF positions, compared to only 20 for us

[jdev82]

Take a look at your own replies and you will know why.

you eat shit too. fagbag

[Chomag]

why ami pink?

If you have to ask that then thats pretty much your answer.

[timtonymanu]

Like usual, Jon Barry dissing the spurs

in the past, he would have just been hating. now he's just speaking from observation.

but i love to see special k own him again. he looked so butthurt from that.

[Dex]

Man, what a tough state of affairs. We've got four stars who are trying to regain their superstar-level ability, a bunch of defensive bigmen who can't defend, and a bunch of shooters who can't shoot.

The pieces are there, but unless these guys start playing up to their abilities, it's going to be a bumpy home stretch.

[ElNono]

We're doing good considering we've not hit a three pointer and they have like 7 blocks...
But we need to pick it up if we want to win this game.
If we get on a slump we're done.

[Chieflion]

Hairston played for 28 seconds? How pointless.

[jdev82]

who wants to see a blurry cell phone pic of kori sucking cock?

[Dex]

you eat shit too. fagbag

Keep it up. Pink suits you.

[alchemist]

-Did Manu pass the ball to Lopez??? WTF???
-Suns are blocking the shit out of the Spurs, amazing.
-RJ leaving a 3-pt specialist open a couple times
-Teams making miracle shot after fucking miracle shot at the end of quarers against us. I actually expect shots to go in now, this is terrible.
-Barea ball :downspin:
-Parker with a huge turn over, his ego going against Nash 1-on-1 got the best of him and now his team is down 3 because of it....:lol

[benefactor]

who wants to see a blurry cell phone pic of kori sucking cock?
You seem to be working hard to get unpinked.

[ElNono]

Kobe fellatio break

[DPG21920]

I wish the Spurs had Kobe.

[timtonymanu]

jdev, now ur gonna get banned with a comment like that.

[Chomag]

Hairston and or Ian just just knock Pop the fuck out after this game. Whats the worst that could happen to them, not play? lol

[Chieflion]

jdev, now ur gonna get banned with a comment like that.

He's better off being banned.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

At least the Spurs are taking it to the rim, Jefferson looks aggressive, and Blair and Dice are playing well.

I'm also happy with most of Pop's lineups, but I'm hoping we never see any Bogans in the second half.

Mason also needs to sit.


Seriously? You liked the Parker - Manu - Mason - Jefferson - Blair lineup?

:wtf

[davi78239]

Is he not telling the truth?

he is but its just the point that he's either hated on them when they were good or now that they suck, he's gladly and quickly ready to make his observations about them.

[Dex]

:lmao They couldn't wait three hours for the Lakers halftime to air this?

I guess that's when they'll have a followup report that Kobe is still the the 2nd GOAT. :smchode:

[DPG21920]

They deserve it.

[ElNono]

I like how Hairston rotated on defense during his 28 seconds of play :lol

[DPG21920]

Hopefully Malik is fresh for the 2nd half.

[timtonymanu]

I like how Hairston rotated on defense during his 28 seconds of play :lol

He didnt miss the rotation enough. That's why Pop took him out.

[Chieflion]

:lmao They couldn't wait three hours for the Lakers halftime to air this?

I guess that's when they'll have a followup report that Kobe is still the the 2nd GOAT. :smchode:

No. That would have made too much sense. They have caught on to the Pop disease.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i am hoping george hill is gonna show up

[jdev82]

im the only smart poster on this shitty forum. seriously. send me 20 bucks ill send you that pic. a little blurry, but you get the idea.

[silverblk mystix]

another agonizing spurs game to watch...just hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel...

hoping and praying pop gets his head out...what a waste...

[ElNono]

Go Spurs Go
We need to win at home

[Chomag]

Seriously? You liked the Parker - Manu - Mason - Jefferson - Blair lineup?

:wtf


No kidding. Good line ups? WTF?

[Chieflion]

Hoping Pop to get his head out of his ass or his ass out of his head, or whatever it is, it looks the damn same is something we should stop thinking about.

[Chomag]

Bogans back! yay!

[Pucho!!!]

Hairston and or Ian just just knock Pop the fuck out after this game. Whats the worst that could happen to them, not play? lol

I just dont get it. Both showed plenty of ability that this team needs and he refuses to give them min. We need athleticism and hustle stuff young guys will give us. THose 2 with Blair and Hill play so fluid. I just dont get it. Im starting to think we need to infuse some youth into our coaching staff. Nothing but a bunch of old dudes advocating for these old players to play and no young coach to argue otherwise. I want 1 person to give me a valid reason why a 6"11 athletic bigman can not be used in the NBA, esp one who has shown the ability to play. What is he 100% from the field when playing heavy min????? Or close to it. I just dont get it, also Hairston is wwaaaaayyy better than half the wing men we have and knows the system from multiple positions. Just all makes no sense

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

who think the spurs can score over 100

[HarlemHeat37]

McDyess and Parker with the nice D, but Bogans gets credited for the steal..at least he did something positive on the box score..

[ElNono]

Bogans :pctoss

[quentin_compson]

I wonder what Pop has planned for the second half. Fin playing major minutes at the center spot? :downspin:

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill good J!!!!!!

[Warlord23]

Layup drill over our small lineup

[taps]

g hill 2nd half kid

edit: ......and keith gives up the rebound and forces the foul. wonder what malik would've done?

[Chieflion]

We just trading scores now.

[Chomag]

Bogans... lol

[HarlemHeat37]

Box out Bogans!! get the fuck off the floor..

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

LOOL bogans is the suns' sixth man on the floor

[weebo]

please someone get bogans and mcdyess outta there

[timtonymanu]

wow Bogans losing the board.

[Pucho!!!]

I wonder what Pop has planned for the second half. Fin playing major minutes at the center spot? :downspin:

He should be the one in a suit, not Ian. How many 3 pt shooters do we need to ride the pine haha

[Warlord23]

:lmao at Bogans' rebounding

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK YOU Bogans, grab the damn ball

[Sausage]

Duncan came to play today.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

they are talking about him right now

[Chomag]

LOL great D Bogans!!!! Not!!!!!!@!

[Pucho!!!]

Hubie Brown is convinced we need to be shooting more 3s haha

[Warlord23]

Even Tirico and Hubie are calling out Pop's love affair with Bogans

[slick'81]

robin lopez sucks balls duncan should rape him all night

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TD!

[Libri]

TP j

[quentin_compson]

Duncan wanting to top Kobe's 81 points? :lol

[Libri]

good fast break

[timtonymanu]

Bruce Bowen will forever be in my heart.

Keith Bogans will forever be in my trash.

[taps]

getting nostalgic listening to Tirico and Hubie talk about Bowen hitting huge shots. they are a good team :tu

'05 Finals commentary ftw

[itzsoweezee]

LOL great D Bogans!!!! Not!!!!!!@!

it wasn't bad D. hill just made a great shot.

[Ice009]

Commentator "Why is Bogans starting Hubie?"

[Spurologist]

:tu

better defending

[Spurologist]

manuuuuuuuuu

333333333333

[HarlemHeat37]

Great seal by Duncan, good passes from Hill and Jefferson, nice shot by Manu..that was a great play..

[ffadicted]

Ginobiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii :smokin

Bruce Bowen will forever be in my heart.

Keith Bogans will forever be in my trash.

[Spurs Brazil]

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

Spurs up 5

[timtonymanu]

I wonder how Hairston would do on Nash.

Guess we'll never know.

[benefactor]

Good start to the third. The Suns look sloppy.

[Sausage]

that's a manu tres!

Spurs looking good, but how long can they keep this up?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Bogans comes off and the Spurs look 10 times better

[45 bank shot]

Bogans comes off and the Spurs look 10 times better

can't agree more, where is malik?

[Warlord23]

Keith Bogans update:
0 pts, 0-3 FG, 0-2 3PT, 0 rebs, 0 ast, 0 blocks, 1 steal
:clap

[ElNono]

Here's scrub Frye to nails us with threes.

[austN Spur]

go spurs go

[Chieflion]

I yearn for the day when Pop loses the ability to feel horny, so that he would not be able to use his corporate knowledge, aka having Finley and Bogans suck his cock.

[RobSM64]

interesting words from KG

[Truckules]

ouch

[Sausage]

High praise from KG

[DPG21920]

Stupid, stupid foul by Dice.

[DPG21920]

Fuck, Dice hurt.

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN Dice, stupid foul

[Truckules]

Ffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuu

[VBM]

Oh no....

[Libri]

Dice is hurt!!

[ffadicted]

.... shit shit shit shit shit

[timtonymanu]

Shit McDyess looks really hurt.

[Doe]

Oh no, I hope McDyess is okay.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh no

[Spurologist]

Dice hurt..


FUCK FUCK FUCK

[Chieflion]

Dice injured.

[taps]

i think nkd lunch will have a triumphant return as phx wilts on the road. We have a good team despite what weak spot or two in the rotation. dice and rj are truly pivotal for us and mase hitting shots helps.

- oh no not dice, good thing pop's buddy finley is active.

[RobSM64]

fack!

[DPG21920]

Looks bad. He is in a lot of pain.

[Dex]

Welllll shit.

Down goes Dice. :( Left knee.

Get ready for Bonner time.

[Sausage]

Dice is done :(

[austN Spur]

wow cmon mcdyss be OK

[Refocus]

God dammit...

[superjames1992]

Uh oh, McDyess is down!

[HarlemHeat37]

Wow, what a way to make the season even worse..Dice injures his knee, this is scary..

[ElNono]

Shit

[itzsoweezee]

damn, i hope it's nothing serious

[Warlord23]

An abortion of a fast break, and Dice is hurt

[balli]

That sucks.

[Spurs Brazil]

SHit, things just get worse and worse, unbelievable

[Libri]

Oh Crap!!

[Muser]

Fuck
fuck
fuck
fuck
fuck

[timtonymanu]

fuck that means small ball.

[alchemist]

well at least they got the great Ian to play now.

[DPG21920]

Even though he is sucking the Spurs need Dice. This is Bogan's fault.

[austN Spur]

hopefully thats only a strained knee but either way OWCH

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

well it could be a blessing, more time for ian

[45 bank shot]

fuck , mc d is down

[VBM]

Good thing we traded Ratliff...

[quentin_compson]

Damn, Dice hurt. :depressed

[HarlemHeat37]

At least he can put some weight on it, so it might not be as bad as it looked..

[timtonymanu]

This is unbelievable. Everytime we finally have a healthy roster, someone else gets hurt.

[Libri]

Being healthy was one of the keys this season. :bang

[Chieflion]

Damn it Dice. You are forcing Pop's hand to play more small ball.

[itzsoweezee]

looks like he's going to be ok. he's putting weight on the leg.

[taps]

i am almost in tears. he's truly a great it's an honor to have him on this team

[Muser]

So Ian activated next game?

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley in, Ian out

Fuck Pop

[Dex]

well it could be a blessing, more time for ian

Ian is not the answer, and he is not McDyess either.

[DPG21920]

This is Blair's time to shine.

[toki9]

Looked bad on replay...he landed straight on his left leg, the knee didn't bend at all...

[itzsoweezee]

nice play, even though dejuan missed

[HarlemHeat37]

Jefferson sucking since his hot start..predictable..

[TJastal]

i think nkd lunch will have a triumphant return as phx wilts on the road. We have a good team despite what weak spot or two in the rotation. dice and rj are truly pivotal for us and mase hitting shots helps.

- oh no not dice, good thing pop's buddy finley is active.

nice jinx post

[Ice009]

FUCK. Could have used Ian on the fucking ACTIVE ROSTER.

WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT COACH.

I hope McDyess is OK.

[DPG21920]

Jefferson sucking since his hot start..predictable..

Not his fault with Pop using gimmick lineups and having him guard Amare.

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!

[blkroadrunners]

FUCK. Could have used Ian on the fucking ACTIVE ROSTER.

WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT COACH.

I hope McDyess is OK.
Is he Miss Cleo? :lol

[quentin_compson]

The two-man-game by Nash and Amare is killing us.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill doing a very bad job on Nash

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

The two-man-game by Nash and Amare is killing us.

thats something not new !

[taps]

i hope pop takes the chance on mahinmi because i know he will be conservative with dice's PT until the postseason

[Chomag]

Dman, I hope dice is ok. He came down pretty badly on the knee.

[Libri]

Blair with the veteran move against Amare.

The Beast is not afraid. :ihit

[quentin_compson]

thats something not new !

Yeah, I know. Still not nice to see it happen, though.

[bigdog]

As he kept walking, though, he looked more comfortable walking to the locker room. I hope he's ok.

[Doe]

Hill doing a very bad job on Nash

Hill's defense has been inconsistent/poor in too many games this year.
