[timtonymanu]

which d-leaguer will be inactive tonight?

im guessing it's temple.


hopefully the spurs take care of business early so we can see ian/cedric/malik again.

[austN Spur]

You shouldnt be awarded a win for beating teams like the clippers and nets. however if you were to lose you should be deducted 2 wins.:lol

[Chieflion]

Anyone has ILP to share? :lol

[Libri]

Manu!

Dice jumper

[siraulo23]

10-5 spurs, (play by play)

[Chieflion]

this is like the first time for ages that there's no free link of the game

It happens for every Clipper game.

[siraulo23]

League pass audio still doesnt work?

[siraulo23]

link is on!!!!

[Chieflion]

Finally. Good start.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

damn dice is working hard

[Libri]

Tim hook shot.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

hill blowing by davis :tu

[TIMMYD!]

And RJ with 6 boards already.

[siraulo23]

ooh, oop to duncan

[duncan228]

:lol

[Chieflion]

Hill can't guard Baron.

[Libri]

RJ jumper

[Chieflion]

RJ dunk!

[benefactor]

Really good to see RJ rebounding. I'm not sure what has kept him from it all year long.

[timtonymanu]

i wish the spurs had outlaw.

[Libri]

nice fast break

[Chieflion]

Bonner reverse layup!

[Libri]

Damn, Bogans to Bonner for a reverse layup.

[TinTin]

Lol bonner

[benefactor]

Bonner should have thrown it down again.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

hill with 7 assists, RJ with 6 boards,2 mins to play in 1st Q

[Refocus]

lol sean :lol

[mystargtr34]

Hill has 7 assists ?

Hill with 7 assists. :wow

[Libri]

rainbow 3 by Bonner

[Chieflion]

Red Rocket 3!

[TIMMYD!]

Make that 8.

[Chieflion]

Back to back 3s by Matt Bonner!!!!!

[mystargtr34]

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

red rockets raining threeeeeeeeeeeeee

[siraulo23]

omg manu

[Sisk]

wow manu..

[Libri]

That's Manu! :downspin:

[AussieFanKurt]

yeahaaa bonner and hilly

[phxspurfan]

I just checked my fantasy stats...leading 8-1 this week due to Manu. Does Hill really have 8 assists in the 1st quarter??

[benefactor]

rofl Clippers. They allow Manu to roll the ball up the floor and then they allow a layup where he loses the ball on the way up.

[AussieFanKurt]

12 assists on 15 FGs in first qtr!

[benefactor]

If the Spur lose this game they should concede the season.

[tothrowed]

spurssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[Obstructed_View]

Sooooo nice to see all the starters having scored, and it's only the first quarter!

[TIMMYD!]

[Chieflion]

Steve Blake making everyone look good.

[siraulo23]

bonner's been hitting that driving hook shot at a high %

[Rick18]

Some of the shots the Clippers are making are ridiculous.

[FlAVaK]

8 assists in a quarter :lol what's the franchise record? Can't be much more than that can it!

"Most assists, one quarter
14-John Lucas, San Antonio vs. Denver, April 15, 1984 (2nd qtr.)"

Can Blair play better than bullshit? Cause he is sucking really bad.

[siraulo23]

nice move hairston!!!!!!!!

[Libri]

Wow, Malik with a quick drive to the basket for a layup.

[Capt Bringdown]

Has Pop told Blair not to shoot or something? He seems positively timid these days.

[Sisk]

hairston's minutes should continue to increase or at least stay around the 10-20 mark, i hope

[benefactor]

Everything falling right now.

[biziofromdowntown]

Hill stepping up every time more

[Libri]

[Libri]

RJ's on fire.

[TJastal]

That damn Malik Hairston needs to shoot 3 pointers. This layup shit isn't cutting it... :nope

[benefactor]

Dick explosion.

[biziofromdowntown]

LA makes Jefferson better

[Chieflion]

Baron Davis has to be the master of and 1 plays.

[spurs1990]

Spurs have to be the favorites as of right now.

no need to play him more. we're winning by 20.

pop is saving him for the final march stretch: 7 games in 11 days!!! :wow

[benefactor]

This is the best scenario we could ask for. If the Spurs can keep this up they will be able to play Manu/Duncan limited minutes and then get two days off.

[Libri]

Mason jumper

[benefactor]

Hell, even RMJ is making shots tonight.

[spurs1990]

RJ's shot almost went in.

[Supergirl]

Spurs are letting up their defense. Can't go to sleep on any team, guys.

[DAF86]

Manu 11 pts in 11 mins.
Tim 8 pts in 8 mins.

[spurs1990]

Hill with 10 dimes.

Getting better all the time.

[TJastal]

So I assume we'll get a nice extended look at our future small ball replacements in the
2nd half?

[Blackjack]

I always temper my enthusiasm for Tony before a Clippers game, since they have the pension for making him look more like Stockton than KJ, but the fact that Hill passed the ball like he did last night and is taking advantage of the Clippers in the same fashion as Tony ... that's something to be enthused about.

Oh, and . . .

Who's down with THC?:smokin

[Ice009]

Hill still getting owned by elite PG's.

Yep.

Why won't anyone comment on it? I keep saying it but not one person here seems to acknowledge my posts about it.

He has been destroyed by all the elite PGs this season defensively. Tp has done a superior job against most of these guys when he's healthy. TP has managed to contain them at times.

I commented the same thing on a thread that was about hill---already being superior to parker on defense...a couple of posters agreed---and I disagreed---i love hill---

but i don't think he is anywhere near as good as parker---when parker is healthy and engaged in the game...

[angelbelow]

Sucks i cant watch the game.. but looks like malik is playing well again from the stat sheet.

Anyways, for those who are in college and is currently going thru finals week.. GL.

If Hill is getting destroyed so badly then why has the teams' overall defense shot up the charts since TP has been sitting out?

It seems he traded defense for offense coming into this season.

Watching Hill vs. Davis is like watching Pierce and the bigger wings against Prince; they get into the body and exploit their lesser stop-and-go ability.

Hill's a different kind of defender and what you think you see isn't necessarily what's always really going on; if he's getting up into someone to disrupt timing, hurry his opponent or directing them to help, it looks like he's getting beat (which isn't necessarily the case).

He's got work to do and he has his fair share of miscues and lapses, but it's nowhere near as bad as some think.

[carina_gino20]

Could it be that DeJuan is missing Manu? I haven't seen the last three games. How much playing time have these two seen together since Manu went to the starting lineup?

[Ice009]

but i don't think he is anywhere near as good as parker---when parker is healthy and engaged in the game...

I thought at the start of the season that Hill is a superior defender to TP, but the last couple of months I think Hill's D has slipped. Now that I know TP was injured I have changed my opinion.

I decided to step back and look at TP's defense when he is healthy and also look at George's defense when healthy and TP has been able to contain some of these guys whereas Hill has been destroyed badly at times the last couple of months by these guys.

I want to see George pick up his defense. He is capable of playing a lot better on the defensive end.

[silverblk mystix]

If Hill is getting destroyed so badly then why has the teams' overall defense shot up the charts since TP has been sitting out?

I only commented on the issue---of whether hill is ALREADY---better DEFENSIVELY---than parker---I disagreed...

but did not slam hill or mention anything about the overall defensive comparison of the team...

[Libri]

Sucks i cant watch the game.. but looks like malik is playing well again from the stat sheet.

Anyways, for those who are in college and is currently going thru finals week.. GL.

Malik again showing his quickness. He has a tough defensive assignment with Outlaw but has played good defense.

[4>0rings]

Worst dunk pass of all time.

[Libri]

Tim should never be a point guard. :lol

[Chieflion]

Duncan, the fuck you thinking with that pass? :lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol timmy

[siraulo23]

now everything going wrong for the spurs~

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

sloppy very sloppy

[HarlemHeat37]

Hill's D is usually good when he doesn't have a large load offensively..when he has a larger offensive role like he has when he replaced TP for stretches, his D has been pretty poor IMO..he's a good defender overall, and you'll see it again when Parker is back in the lineup..

There aren't too many players that can be good offensive players at PG/SG and play consistent D at the same time..especially at the PG position, where it's difficult enough to play D as it is..

[timtonymanu]

Gooden looks like he's 5 years younger.

[Libri]

impressive drive by Hill for a layup

[benefactor]

Just beautiful.

[Chieflion]

Nice ball movement. Manu 3! Triangle offense!

[siraulo23]

lmao

[Libri]

I bet the Clippers are all dizzy with those Spurs passes.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

that was sooooo fun :D

[siraulo23]

Hill looks so good on the pick and roll today, very aggressive

That might be it Harlem. George's defense was awesome when he was doing hardly anything on offense. I can believe one reason for his drop in defense has been that he is now way better offensively and playing a bigger role on that end of the court.

[Libri]

nice aggressive drive by RJ

[benefactor]

I'm embarrassed for the Clippers.

[Chieflion]

Manu's extra pass to Blair dunk!

well honestly i cant hate on hill. he brings other stuff instead of mason and bogans who are complete stiffs.

[benefactor]

Guess the Clips are listening to me. :)

[Libri]

Tim with only 13 minutes. :tu

[Ice009]

well honestly i cant hate on hill. he brings other stuff instead of mason and bogans who are complete stiffs.

Oh no really like George overall, but don't like the dip in his defense lately.

I just don't want to see a Mason Jr. like decline last season, but like you said George does so much more than Roger so I guess a little drop in his defense is not as bad as it was for Mason Jr.

[benefactor]

Whoa Bonner!

[siraulo23]

wtf bonner

[Chieflion]

Matt Bonner with the shot of the night!

[Ice009]

LOL someone said Bonner is the king of JUNK SHOTS. Props to you!

[Libri]

WTF!! Bonner! :lmao

[Sisk]

LOL at FSN showing bonner's ginger friend after that crazy shot

[4>0rings]

They always show that ginger kid after Bonner makes a shot. :lmao

[phxspurfan]

Someone go tell Lil Wayne Cedric Jackson both stopped B. Diddy and blocked the layup

[siraulo23]

jackson with some more d

[Libri]

Cedric bringing a lot of energy.

[HarlemHeat37]

Jackson's a defensive machine..I'd give him a SL invite already..

[benefactor]

I love Jackson's activity. He is definitely worth a camp invite.

[Chieflion]

Cedric is trolling us by wearing Vaughn's number 11.

[benefactor]

Can't remember a Spur wearing a headband....SJax last one?

[phxspurfan]

Try Gooden

[urunobili]

Jackson to remain with the Spurs for the rest of the season?

[timtonymanu]

Can't remember a Spur wearing a headband....SJax last one?

Gooden, Pops to name a few.

[spurs1990]

Good memory bro.

Usually journeymen lol.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

knicks 91- mavs 66 after 3rd quarter...what the ??

[Ice009]

Can't remember a Spur wearing a headband....SJax last one?

That was my first thought when I first saw him last game. Headband and his name is Jackson. I already like it.

[Ice009]

Fuck it. Mason Jr is a bricklayer. Get him off.

[alchemist]

C-Jackson!!!

[Libri]

Bonner all alone for a 3.

[siraulo23]

bonner 3 from jackson!

[spurs1990]

Look at the fucking arc on Bon's three's.

Amazing.

[Chieflion]

Bonner 3!

[alchemist]

C-Jackson again!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jackson does look like an NBA player tonight, doesn't he?

He is playing the Clips though.

[Libri]

:downspin:

[siraulo23]

great d awareness by jackson

[Ice009]

Jackson to Bonner for 3. Jackson deflection for the steal run the fast break with a Mason Jr to hairston finish.

[spurs1990]

Brick layer? Nuh uh.

[ThePop]

finally

[Libri]

Now Mason is making a play.

[AussieFanKurt]

Cedric!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The good thing about this season is that we have a lot to look forward to with this youth. Hill, Blair and Hairston should be around for a long while. :)

[024]

everyone looking like an all star against the clips.

[TJastal]

good defense by Jackson

great pass by RMJ

[Ice009]

Is Travis Outlaw auditioning for the Spurs???????

[Chieflion]

No one is going to stop Matt Bonner this game!

[Libri]

That was a long 3 by Bonner, nothing but net.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Glad I picked up Bonner for his 3s a couple of weeks ago for my second roto team. He could carry it to the top 3.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

ridiculous amount of fun out there

[Ice009]

Brick layer? Nuh uh.

Come on man. Don't go saying mason proved me wrong after hitting a few shots against the worst team he has played in weeks in garbage time.
