Game Blog: Spurs @ Hornets - Mar 1

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i am sick of bogan's sick face

[EricB]

Anyone on the New Orleans team, injure Bogans please.


Another fantastic Spurstalk post.


So much for the bar being raised.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bogans + Bonner is too much shit, Hornets run, down 2

[Chomag]

Bonner... God dammit POP!!!!
This is just too much!

[DPG21920]

Now that Bogans drew a charge, Pop will use that as an excuse to justify playing him. Just like when he has one game out of 10 when he hits 2 3's.

[TIMMYD!]

Take Boner out Pop!

[HarlemHeat37]

OK, that's enough Bonner for the season..please..

[Chieflion]

Bonner turns it over.

[Libri]

Damn Bonner

[Brazil]

lol bonner

[DPG21920]

Having Bo's on the floor is just such a bad idea.

[Shastafarian]

Pop has to see how terrible Bogans is right?

[angelbelow]

I thought Duncan would sit during back to backs

[urunobili]

Malik and Ian should really get a chance to play in this game, it gets me so damn mad!

:bang

:pctoss

[Josepatches_]

i am sick of bogan's sick face

[45 bank shot]

bonner and bogans at their best killing spurs' momentum

[DPG21920]

Pop has to see how terrible Bogans is right?

He took a charge and hit some 3's 10 games ago.

[Chieflion]

Pop has to see how terrible Bogans is right?

As long as Pop's desires are being satisfied, I doubt he could care less.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

if it was ian and malik, spurs would have been up 20 by now

[TIMMYD!]

For a guy who is supposed to be a 3 point shooter and defender, Bogans does neither of them well.

[ElNono]

Goddamit Matt...
Fucker got position for like 3 offensive boards and botched them all...
Then henplays point guard and the ball ends up in the first row...
Come on Pop...

[dbestpro]

Bonner needs to go back to the bench. He is there to do one thing and that is to shoot the three. If he does not have the confidence to do that then he needs to go to the bench. Ian should be on the floor or play Blair 48.

[ohmwrecker]

Timmy was caught off guard by the athleticism of Bonner.

[Refocus]

I thought Duncan would sit during back to backs

Next game is on Friday so he's playing. :toast

Pop needs to sit Bonner, so he can keep his + !!

[Johnny RIngo]

Bonner and Bogans are such a huge fucking step down from Horry and Bowen. Sad thing is Pop will probably bring them back next season.

[Shastafarian]

He took a charge and hit some 3's 10 games ago.

He leads the league is baldness. He defines bulldoggy.

[TJastal]

Bonner is just too unreliable under pressure to be a regular rotation player

[iminol]

OK, OK , now I clearly now why Pop need to rest Duncan on b2b. No defence today, Okafor, West, Thorton are in heaven today. Only 1 reb. TD move ass.

[diego]

what the hell was hill daydreaming about on that play, he looks like a good defender but makes silly mistakes, no excuse for losing your man like that

[HarlemHeat37]

If I looked at Blair and Bonner and the way they play, I would think Bonner would be a good passer and Blair would be a horrible passer..it's the opposite..

[taps]

i thought it seemed fairly obvious to everybody that bonner was the weakest contributor next to Finley. Apparently, not obvious to Pop

[gospursgojas]

Ohhh my gaaawwd...

Please get bonner and bogans out of there!

Its 3 on 5!
----------
Damn bonner hits a 3, pop will leave him in there for another qtr

[Chieflion]

Sons, Marcus Thornton is on fire!

[Chomag]

Ugly looking shot by the red rocket!

[ElNono]

It's the Bonner show!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Why is Bonner the focal point of our offense?..

Why the hell is New Orleans trying to post up James Posey?..

[timtonymanu]

honestly hill has overrated defense.

[urunobili]

who the fuck Bonner thinks he is shooting 3's like that? fucking loser

[ElNono]

Mason coming in

[dbestpro]

TP sighting!

[TIMMYD!]

TP with 11,000 points on that bucket.

[Johnny RIngo]

i thought it seemed fairly obvious to everybody that bonner was the weakest contributor next to Finley. Apparently, not obvious to Pop

Actually, Bogans is the worst player on the team after Finley. Bonner might hit a shot, once in a while.

[Chomag]

LOL@ Bonner still in

[Chieflion]

Manu tres!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!

[ffadicted]

honestly hill has overrated defense.

you're figuring this out now?

[urunobili]

Manu tres u fuckers

[L.I.T]

Go Manu!

[taps]

Bogner has to ruin every positive contribution he makes..

fify

[Manudona]

Manu in, 3 points in

[TIMMYD!]

Manu with B2B 333333333333333333

[Chieflion]

That's another Manu tres!

[Refocus]

Manu!!!

[ffadicted]

GINOOOOO Trees

[DesignatedT]

manuuuuu sooooo awesome

[Cherry]

Manu 3333333333

[Libri]

super Manuuuuuuuuu

[angelbelow]

There we go

[bbarry]

MANU 33333333333333333333333333333

MANu 33333333333333333333333333333

[timtonymanu]

god i love manu. i havent seen this manu since the 07-08 season.

[Manudona]

Manu again!!!!

[ohmwrecker]

Manu es en fuego!

[ElNono]

Manu producing another run... Let's see if we can keep this one

[HarlemHeat37]

In other news, the Cavs are up 49 on the Knicks LOL..

[45 bank shot]

when bogans is out, we immediately look better

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

manu: bogans and bonner killed the lead? no problem!

[angelbelow]

Ginobili again

[TIMMYD!]

Collison with 11 assists already :wow

[Josepatches_]

i thought it seemed fairly obvious to everybody that bonner was the weakest contributor next to Finley. Apparently, not obvious to Pop


bogans is worse

[Shastafarian]

fify

I saw that before you fixed it. :lol

[DPG21920]

Damn Manu and RJ for giving us this sliver of false hope this late into the game.

[Otaku]

Manu in, 6 points in

Fixed :lol

[Chomag]

Thank you Manu!

[Chieflion]

In other news, the Cavs are up 49 on the Knicks LOL..

LeBron loves the Knicks so much, he kills them on a regular basis.

[Manufan909]

It's a Manu tres!!!! Now where the hell is Hairston and Ian? Play one of them Pop, even if it makes you feel dirty after dumping Mike so recently.

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop time to sit Bonner and finish with Blair

[Otaku]

Lol @ Grant Hill saying "The best offense is a good defense" while playing for the Suns :D

[Cherry]

Wow. Manu is oxigen

[Manudona]

Fixed :lol

I can't say I'm sorry for being wrong :)

[ffadicted]

In other news, the Cavs are up 49 on the Knicks LOL..

LMAO showing off for the king

[dbestpro]

Posting Posey?

[Brazil]

Manu is playing extremly well !

[Manudona]

Great defense by Bonner

[DesignatedT]

no bonner? wtf was that... dont shoot unless your wide open behind the 3 pt line

[Manufan909]

Hey guys, I'm using ultrasearch on firefox (to disguise my location) with NBALP, but I'm still getting blacked out. Any ideas?

[dbestpro]

Run a play for RMJ.

[L.I.T]

Good lord Manu has taken over.

[HarlemHeat37]

the Hornets are running some ridiculous offense..posting up Posey, Peja taking contested step-back jump shots, jacking up shots in the lane..

[Libri]

Spurs scoring easy.

[TIMMYD!]

When LeBron plays the Knicks, he regularly destroys them, so does that mean he is foreshadowing to the team what he could do for them?

[Spurs Brazil]

Td dunk!

[ElNono]

Gino is on a mission. TD playing great too.

[angelbelow]

Hopefully we see Ian play, our frontline is a little too thin tonight. Hope Duncan and Blair doesnt tire out.

[TIMMYD!]

Bonner clanking shots all over the place, we should be up by like 20 right now.

[DPG21920]

LOL the Hornets announcers taking shots at Bonner.

[ffadicted]

damn

[Crazymaddopeyo]

I'm watching it online with the New Orleans announcers, one of them was making fun of Bonner.

[dbestpro]

Bonner new nickname is "Clang!"

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol these hornets commentors...

[superjames1992]

Bonner is playing fairly well all-around tonight. He's not shooting great, but he's playing pretty good defense and getting rebounds.

[diego]

lol at the hornets announcers, they're pretty good

[TIMMYD!]

At least Boner can hit the shot to end the half...

[L.I.T]

Hahahhaahahaha...Bonner all clutchy.

[superjames1992]

BONNER!!! With the buzzer beater!

That's what you stupid ass New Orleans announcers get for trashing Bonner!

[DesignatedT]

LMAO bonner.

[Chieflion]

Bonner with the buzzer beater. 58-47. Spurs!

[ffadicted]

Bonner!!! PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AYER LMAO

[Refocus]

The Matt Bonner Show.

[angelbelow]

Hill is having a wonderful game. He needs to play with this much confidence always.

[taps]

you know pop's gonna look at the lead manu & tim gave us at the end of the first half and give a lot of credit to bonner. He's okay against small teams/situationally kinda like bogans but he should still be our 5th big

[ElNono]

Good job on that shot Matt...

Good half guys... Need to keep the intensity...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fcuk bonner for doing timmy's "finally" impersonation

[timtonymanu]

Bonner is clutch ....


after the half.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner at the buzzer!!

Spurs up 11 at the half

[angelbelow]

Bonner!!!!!!!!!! lol

[Brazil]

Bonner at the buzzer nice

[benefactor]

Two good closeouts in a row. Much more Spur-like. :)

[45 bank shot]

bonner finally.!!

[Chomag]

Well, if you keep throwing the ball up there you may get a couple of them.

[Spurologist]

Bonner clanking shots all over the place, we should be up by like 20 right now.

Come again? :lol He finally made one and looked to the heavens

[Johnny RIngo]

Bonner's gotten more shots than TD despite being 2-8 for the night.

[angelbelow]

In the preseason Pop ripped blair for show boating, will he do the same for bonner?

[EricB]

Hill's ass is getting burned on D pretty bad.


Bonner playing solid.


Duncan Manu playing fantastic.

Everyone else is OK.

Again, I stand by the statement, this team looks different. The attitude and effort is different, I doubt its Finley getting released but most likely the win over Phoenix.

[TIMMYD!]

Bonner's gotten more shots than TD despite being 3-9 for the night.

fify

[benefactor]

Manu...10pts, 3reb, 4ast, 4stl. :smokin:

[Obstructed_View]

In his last 12 games, Keith Bogans has six scoreless games. Looks like he's on his way to a seventh. How is he better than Hairston again?

[Johnny RIngo]

Hey guys, I'm using ultrasearch on firefox (to disguise my location) with NBALP, but I'm still getting blacked out. Any ideas?

Why not just use the atdhe link? Quality's not as good as LP but it's watchable.

[DesignatedT]

Hill's ass is getting burned on D pretty bad.


Bonner playing solid.


Duncan Manu playing fantastic.

Everyone else is OK.

Again, I stand by the statement, this team looks different. The attitude and effort is different, I doubt its Finley getting released but most likely the win over Phoenix.

They look a lot more aggresive from the get go. i saw that against phoenix as well... i think that pitiful showing against houston started this..

[benefactor]

No one can really hate on Bonner tonight. He has done an admirable job on defense and has 8pts and 4reb.

[ElNono]

In his last 12 games, Keith Bogans has six scoreless games. Looks like he's on his way to a seventh. How is he better than Hairston again?

He sets the defensive tone

[EricB]

In the preseason Pop ripped blair for show boating, will he do the same for bonner?


Really?


Seriously?

[DesignatedT]

i actually dont mind bonner in there. the way he spreads the defense and keeps people from clogging the paint helps our penetration more than i thought

[TJastal]

I'll give Bonner some credit he plays with alot of heart and tries his hardest every second he's out on the court.

I just think we need a defensive shotblocking presence in that 4th big spot. If Paul was playing he'd be slicing the spurs interior defense up into little pieces.

[benefactor]

He sets the defensive tone
:pop: :tu

[ElNono]

No one can really hate on Bonner tonight. He has done an admirable job on defense and has 8pts and 4reb.

He came out firing right after the timeout when they cut the lead to two. Made one, then missed the next one. I wonder if Pop got on his ass to be more aggressive.

[Spurologist]

In his last 12 games, Keith Bogans has six scoreless games. Looks like he's on his way to a seventh. How is he better than Hairston again?

Bogans: 6-5

Hairston: 6-6

Souce: wikipedia

[dbestpro]

He sets the defensive tone

D flat.

[Josepatches_]

Was Bonner on the court all the 2nd quarter?

[Chomag]

In his last 12 games, Keith Bogans has six scoreless games. Looks like he's on his way to a seventh. How is he better than Hairston again?

Patience. Pop isn't sure how he can put Hairston in a position to fail yet in this game.

[timtonymanu]

this is why Bonner needs to be a bench player. He's much more confident when he comes off the bench and his defense is better.

[dbestpro]

He came out firing right after the timeout when they cut the lead to two. Made one, then missed the next one. I wonder if Pop got on his ass to be more aggressive.

Pop has always slammed Bonner when he doesn't shoot.

[angelbelow]

Really?


Seriously?

Sure

[bigdog]

Bogans has sucked besides that charge he took. Goerge had a good 1st half on offense, but his defense isn't too hot right now. Manu is playing fantastic. RJ started to be aggressive but a couple of stupid fouls took him out of the game.

Overall, I like the way this team is playing. I just want to see less Bogans and more Malik and even RMJ...and maybe even some Ian, because they're not playing Dice tonight.

[Manudona]

Manu...10pts, 3reb, 4ast, 4stl. :smokin:

and 1 TO :Ducks

[xellos88330]

Maybe Pop could compromise with Bonner and Ian. Play one of them the first half and the other the second, or alternate quarters evenly. It could also mess around with the opponents game plan a bit.

[TJastal]

Patience. Pop isn't sure how he can put Hairston in a position to fail yet in this game.

*chuckle*

[Spurs Brazil]

Was Bonner on the court all the 2nd quarter?

yes

[TD 21]

The only reason Bogans plays over Hairston is because he's a veteran.

You can absolutely hate on Bonner. He's a supposed knock down shooter who's bricking wide open looks. Granted, their minutes have all been inconsistent, but when's the last time one of Mason, Bonner or Finley got hot from three?

Overall, a good half. Pop did a fairly good job with the rotation and the Spurs are doing exactly what they should be doing against a severely limited opponent. There isn't a single reason for this game to come down to the final minutes or for the Hornets to win, but I wouldn't rule either out.

[EricB]

Was Bonner on the court all the 2nd quarter?

Yeah and some of the 1st too.


Ian could've played a few minutes there, but whatever, know it isn't happening.

[EricB]

Bogans has sucked besides that charge he took. Goerge had a good 1st half on offense, but his defense isn't too hot right now. Manu is playing fantastic. RJ started to be aggressive but a couple of stupid fouls took him out of the game.

Overall, I like the way this team is playing. I just want to see less Bogans and more Malik and even RMJ...and maybe even some Ian, because they're not playing Dice tonight.


The second foul on the charge was BS. Posey was WAYYY inside the circle.

Still like the way RJ played though. Aggressive and relentless.

[taps]

I saw that before you fixed it. :lol

i missed the backslash on the html tag

[Snaq O'Meal]

In his last 12 games, Keith Bogans has six scoreless games. Looks like he's on his way to a seventh. How is he better than Hairston again?

He looks more like Bowen.

[ffadicted]

McGREGORSTRATOR??

Really....?

[Chieflion]

The Beast!

[Spurs Brazil]

Beast and one!

[Libri]

The Beast is not going to be denied.

[ffadicted]

BLAIR!!!! Beast!

[DesignatedT]

the beast!

[taps]

still looks like pop won't be comfortable playing either rookie (malik-ian) unless we're up by 30 or down by 20

[DesignatedT]

Tony 4 straight!

[ElNono]

Give that man more creme brulee!

[Spurs Brazil]

TP layup

Spurs up 15

[Brazil]

nice sequence TP !

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

hornet's coach looks like...

[DesignatedT]

fucking bogans. hit a fucking shot

[angelbelow]

Okafor looks pretty short next to timmay

[TIMMYD!]

Bogans is hurt.

[Libri]

Bogans hurt his hand.

[Biggems]

what the hell happened to Okafor? he used to be pretty darn good. now he plays like a little vagina. he is softer than a case of Charmin. his D is super weak. he is definitely not the same player he was a few years ago.

[ffadicted]

Hill.... WHAT THE FUCK!!!

[alchemist]

you queers got your wish :toast

[DesignatedT]

good d by bogans. hurt his finger

[Chieflion]

Injury to Bogans.

[urunobili]

Bogans dislocated his hand

[Refocus]

Malik time?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

omg do i see bogans injured !! omgggg

[timtonymanu]

all you Bogans haters got your wish.

[Spurologist]

Bogans out due to minor injury. yessssssssssssssssss

[ffadicted]

TIME FOR HAIRSTON!! :jack

[slick'81]

oh no bogans is hurt the horror

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

im the happiest man in the world right now

[TIMMYD!]

Hairston better get some PT now that Bogans is hurt.

[HarlemHeat37]

Tony has looked comfortable these last 2 games, good to see..

[Spurs Brazil]

TP scores after Blair FANTASTIC save

[L.I.T]

Manu coming in. Hopefully they can put the game away.

[TJastal]

That's how you tip a ball out to a teammate Bonner.

[angelbelow]

Nice sequence there.

[taps]

tim & blair look a bit gassed time for the rj bonner front line

[Johnny RIngo]

Hope the injury keeps Bogans out for weeks.

[TIMMYD!]

The Basketball Gods are definitely in our favor.

[Refocus]

Damn TP!

[ohmwrecker]

I hate to see a guy get injured, but . . .

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

:lol

You mean wrist or finger, right?

i hope its wrist...:(

[DesignatedT]

tony looking a lot better than last week. looks quick

[HarlemHeat37]

These last 2 games are the first time this season where our big 3 + RJ look comfortable and healthy out there..firing on all cylinders right now..I'm not going to get excited until we see it consistently, but it's a good sign..

[Spurologist]

sweet pass by manu to tp. vintage

[angelbelow]

what the hell happened to Okafor? he used to be pretty darn good. now he plays like a little vagina. he is softer than a case of Charmin. his D is super weak. he is definitely not the same player he was a few years ago.

possible fat contract. i remember he complained about not being paid and played well the following season. after he received his contract extension hes sucked ever since.

[urunobili]

what a sick pass by Manu...

[EricB]

You people being happy over a guy getting hurt is fucking sickening.

[ffadicted]

My sources say the injury to bogans is season ending guys, unless he goes to get treatment in a different city

[Spurs Brazil]

great pass Manu to TP

Spurs up 18

[Libri]

Now that Bogans is hurt, the Spurs will resign Finley.

[taps]

omg do i see bogans injured !! omgggg

i shouldn't even say it. so i won't

[Xevious]

God answering 2 prayers in a day? What are the odds.
:lol:lol:lol

[DesignatedT]

looked like it was just a dislocated finger to bogans.. it was a good play. maybe it will help his shot.

[Spurs Brazil]

You people being happy over a guy getting hurt is fucking sickening.

[Biggems]

I wish Pop would put in the following lineup.....Hill, Hairston, Parker, Mason, Manu. I just want to see how small we can really go.

[ffadicted]

You people being happy over a guy getting hurt is fucking sickening.

:cry :cry :cry :cry

It's not like he's not gonna get paid sitting on the beach

[EricB]

These last 2 games are the first time this season where our big 3 + RJ look comfortable and healthy out there..firing on all cylinders right now..I'm not going to get excited until we see it consistently, but it's a good sign..

Agreed. Plus, they are having fun.

They are loose. Theres no tight looks and no worry.

I dare hope that this team might be starting to semi turn the corner.

More Hairston and Dyess and Blair's progressions give me hope.

[Admidave50]

Finley is released and Bogans is hurt? wow, are basketball gods finally hearing our prayers?

Just need to see Hariston and Ian playing to be fully successful!

[TIMMYD!]

Hairston just has to get PT now.

[EricB]

:cry :cry :cry :cry

It's not like he's not gonna get paid sitting on the beach


Reevaluate being happy over a person getting injured making you happy.


Thats fucking horseshit.

[DesignatedT]

Hope the injury keeps Bogans out for weeks.

classy

[DPG21920]

Damn, TP is ballin'. He looked quick right there.

[Libri]

sweet shot by Tim

[Biggems]

possible fat contract. i remember he complained about not being paid and played well the following season. after he received his contract extension hes sucked ever since.

wow, i never took him for one of those types of players......guess i was wrong.

[ohmwrecker]

You people being happy over a guy getting hurt is fucking sickening.
Settle down, Nancy. Nobody is really happy.

[angelbelow]

clicking on all cylinders right now

[EricB]

The Hornets suck but the Spurs are beating the shit out of them.

The Rockets loss may have finally gave em the kick in the ass they needed..

[Biggems]

blair needs to stop with those stupid fouls

[EricB]

Settle down, Nancy. Nobody is really happy.


Bullshit.

[8FOR!3]

lol at people flipping out, he jacked up his finger or wrist. It's not like it's a career ending injury. You're acting like the guy broke his neck and people are glad. Hell, a fucked wrist will probably just help him shoot better now.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh blair...come on...u dun wanna see bonner come play do U?

[ffadicted]

Reevaluate being happy over a person getting injured making you happy.


Thats fucking horseshit.

lol I'm pretty sure no one here is happy that he's hurt, we're just happy that he's not gonna play. That kind of injury is nothing to cry a river about, I'm sure most people here have had similar ones in severity

[angelbelow]

alittle over anxious from blair =p

[taps]

i expect an empty half from bonner

[HornetLoveJones]

Comeback time again, did it against shit Mavs will def. do it against pathetic Spurs

No sweat, this is just practice

Hornets bout to make a run here

[DPG21920]

Damn, that was sweet by Manu and Tim. Wished they would have finished it.

[alchemist]

guys are getting fancy with this shit, they need to keep playing smart.

[ducks]

spurs need this lead to go to 25 at the end and rest duncan in the 4

[angelbelow]

Reevaluate being happy over a person getting injured making you happy.


Thats fucking horseshit.

I dont think anyone is happy that he is injured. Rather it leaves the possibility of playing someone that may have a bigger impact for our team.

Besides, this is the internet, you can say whatever you want and not really mean it. Dont take it too seriously.

[TJastal]

I want to see Hairston soon Pop u stubborn ass

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

spurs need this lead to go to 25 at the end and rest duncan in the 4

sorry bonner is in

[DesignatedT]

Comeback time again, did it against shit Mavs will def. do it against pathetic Spurs

No sweat, this is just practice

Hornets bout to make a run here

everything about your team is pathetic.. the players.. the coach..the lame ass arena... the city..

[HarlemHeat37]

Hornets are getting some cheap calls in the last few minutes..MoPete and Peja shouldn't be getting calls like that, they're scrubs..

[Spurologist]

Bullshit.

Relax....injury didn't look serious. If he loses minutes then you're damn straight i'm happy.

[angelbelow]

Mo Pete drawing the foul ??

[DesignatedT]

gotta hit that bonner

[DPG21920]

Damn, 12 point game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hornets with a quick 8-0 run

FUCK

[iminol]

sa2ny2004

You know the key matchup in the 2nd half of the Spurs v Hornets game is Manu's bald spot v Peja's bald spot #spurs

[alchemist]

soon as I saw Timmy smile to blow the lead up to 20, I knew it was trouble time....:downspin:

[Chomag]

Spurs are stating to look complacent.

[ElNono]

We got lazy... Need to drive some more. Enough jumpers already.

[8FOR!3]

I want to see the ball go to RJ more. It's not like he's playing bad, just not getting much time/touches.

[angelbelow]

damn it

[ffadicted]

RJ with only 9 minutes, wtf

[EricB]

Hornets are getting some cheap calls in the last few minutes..MoPete and Peja shouldn't be getting calls like that, they're scrubs..
That and some of the shots they are throwing up.


Knew they would make a mini run.

The key is the reaction and to kick it back out to 20.

[HarlemHeat37]

Hornets came back from 25 down vs. Dallas last night, seems to be a trend for them..teams underestimate them pretty quickly once they get a lead, they don't really have much talent..

[Mal]

spurs are back ? what with Mason ?
