Game Blog: Spurs vs Heat 3-16-2010

[deadpool]

Wade was upset about that one :lmao
:lol

[FeZZy]

ah turnover :(

[DPG21920]

Great dive and dish by RJ

[FeZZy]

I guess Barnes will be trying to do some cheap shots against Manu tomorrow.

he'll probably try to make him flinch :lmao

[Libri]

Tim with a running hook.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD again!!

[FeZZy]

hopefully EL HEAT give up soon so they can rest for tomorrow against ORL

[deadpool]

Duncan is working it in the 3rd!

[FeZZy]

YAY refs

[DPG21920]

That loss against the Cavs pisses me off.

[SpurAddict561]

Even if it is teams that are sub 500 or close to it you have to be excited to see us finally crushing teams AND keeping the gas pressed throughout the game.

knock on wood

It's a sign of good things to come in my opinion.

[the crimson blur]

That loss against the Cavs pisses me off.

Yeah, it still stings :/

[easy7]

spurssssssssssssssssss!!!!

[alchemist]

No, what I said was the players should be put in the best possible position to win each game. The first half rotation was more reactive to what was happening in the moment and less about what could happen in the second half or for tomorrow's game.
Yes they should, but it doesn't happen all the time and probably won't happen on these tough back-2-back games. Mason hasn't given the team any signs that he's able to run the team against anyone decent (which are the only teams the Spurs are facing). They'll probably resign CJax for another 10 days and give him some burn and sit Manu/Hill.

[DesignatedT]

That loss against the Cavs pisses me off.

i swear if mason would have hit 1 shot we would have won the game lol.

im glad he hasnt seen the floor tonight. he should be buried on the bench imo

[SpurAddict561]

Coupled with the fact that RJ is getting more aggressive...we definitely have a shot if Manu is playing like this and RJ is being aggressive.

The Lakers know we are the last team they want to face in a 7 game series in the West, even if they do beat us.

[CFH]

i swear if mason would have hit 1 shot we would have won the game lol.

im glad he hasnt seen the floor tonight. he should be buried on the bench imo

He'll probably be in if the Spurs keep the lead up. Maybe CJAX will get some time instead though.

[whottt]

Pat Riley is the answer to that trivia question. He was drafted as a WR by the Cowboys.

[spurs1990]

Just saw the score.

This game proves the Spurs are on the path to become the clear favorites to win it all.

[FeZZy]

haha WEBBER to the spurs?? ...sellout

[deadpool]

sweet elbow...

[FeZZy]

is your guys broadcast in spanish too?

[Seventyniner]

TD for 3!!!

Oh wait, he missed...

[SpurAddict561]

Duncan 3pt shot Missed

wtf lol

I gotta get League Pass again next year, I am missing the shit out of it this year

[alchemist]

damn, he was set I have to admit it.

[TD 21]

Yes they should, but it doesn't happen all the time and probably won't happen on these tough back-2-back games. Mason hasn't given the team any signs that he's able to run the team against anyone decent (which are the only teams the Spurs are facing). They'll probably resign CJax for another 10 days and give him some burn and sit Manu/Hill.

5-6 minutes (to this point) in a game like this, honestly Mason (or Hairston, either I said) is going to kill the Spurs? In the unlikely event that happened, Pop could have put Hill back in quickly.

[DPG21920]

:lol Bogans got Wade

[deadpool]

lol Wade...

[SpurAddict561]

ut oh Mason is in...lol

[DPG21920]

Nice move by TD.

[Libri]

nice shot by Tim from the baseline

[HarlemHeat37]

It's nice that we caught Wade on one of his "don't give a fuck" nights..he's had many of those this season..he hasn't even been able to get past Bonner without phantom calls tonight..

[FeZZy]

do you guys think if we would of gone to the finals in 06 we would of destroyed MIA?

[Charles Sappa]

Game Over

[FeZZy]

:lmao DUI arrest for wright

[alchemist]

5-6 minutes (to this point) in a game like this, honestly Mason (or Hairston, either I said) is going to kill the Spurs? In the unlikely event that happened, Pop could have put Hill back in quickly.
I've seen the momentum gone in 4 plays with Mason.

[deadpool]

Damn it wade!!!

[SpurAddict561]

do you guys think if we would of gone to the finals in 06 we would of destroyed MIA?

Oh without a doubt

It could have been another LeBroom series, but with Wade instead

It would have been 4-1 and they possibly could have sneaked 1 more win in, but I doubt it

Manus one bone head foul on Dirk when we were up 3 in the game 7 vs them gave Miami that ring

they owe Manu big time...lol

[FeZZy]

:bang

[Charles Sappa]

Who is the girl in your Sig?


It is a Colombian model. She has a twin sister who also is a model. Her name is Camila Davalos

[FeZZy]

Oh without a doubt

It could have been another LeBroom series, but with Wade instead

It would have been 4-1 and they possibly could have sneaked 1 more win in, but I doubt it

Manus one bone head foul on Dirk when we were up 3 in the game 7 vs them gave Miami that ring

they owe Manu big time...lol
seriously if i do remember right shaq did nothing that series and we had bowen in his prime :hat

[Spurs Brazil]

Fucking TOs, 8 in the quarter

[DPG21920]

Sloppy end, but still a great quarter. Especially considering the Spurs 3rd quarter woes.

[FeZZy]

dude what the fuck! come on guys dont let them go into the 4th with momentum

[DPG21920]

Oh my Manu :wow

[Refocus]

Manu!!!

[Charles Sappa]

ginobili dunk

[ohmwrecker]

do you guys think if we would of gone to the finals in 06 we would of destroyed MIA?

I think so. They certainly wouldn't have lost four in a row or blown a 2-0 lead.

[FeZZy]

GINOBILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLi!!!!!!!

[DesignatedT]

Manu slam!!! Gif please

[TD 21]

It's nice that we caught Wade on one of his "don't give a fuck" nights..he's had many of those this season..he hasn't even been able to get past Bonner without phantom calls tonight..

I kind of don't blame him. Normally, I wouldn't condone this behavior, but this guy plays so reckless that he only has probably 3-5, prime years left, so why should he continue to take years off his career on a team going nowhere (but with aspirations to be a contender as soon as next season)? He knows whether he kills himself or not, the Heat are locked into the 5-7 seed and a 1st round ouster.

alchemist, like I said, if things go badly then go back to either Hill or Ginobili, but don't run either into the ground when things are going extremely well for fear of playing Mason (or Hairston) a handful of minutes.

[Libri]

Manu's dunk was fantastic! :chestbump

[boutons_deux]

Tim kills the ball movement

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

mason and bogans can't play together

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 17 after the 3rd

mason in = automatic run for the other team

[deadpool]

Manuuuuuuuuu!!!!!

[DPG21920]

Spurs with a 16 point quarter. They were playing great defense, but gave up a lot in the last minute.

[FeZZy]

I think so. They certainly wouldn't have lost four in a row or blown a 2-0 lead.
TRUE:toast

[Charles Sappa]

I think to declare victory prematurely

[SpurAddict561]

Don't look now but Denver is down 7 to the Wiz...lolll

[alchemist]

alchemist, like I said, if things go badly then go back to either Hill or Ginobili, but don't run either into the ground when things are going extremely well for fear of playing Mason (or Hairston) a handful of minutes.
Mason gets the 4th quarters if it's a blow out, Pop isn't George Karl.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

pop just showed his insecurity with blair

[easy7]

Manu, sign that mofo 4 life Spurs..

[CFH]

Everything went downhill when Mason entered. :lol

[bbarry]

What a terrible way to close out the 3rd.

[easy7]

Let the young kids play now Pops

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Mason can't play in general.

even in garbage time

[ElNono]

Cedric > Mason, funnier too...

[DPG21920]

Some annoying calls for the Heat.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Huge dunk by Manu!

You know what tells me we're still irrelevant though? All year we have allowed runs at the end of quarters, particularly the 3rd, and contenders don't do that.

BTW, Camila Davalos... OMG! :wow

[Brazil]

8 TOs this quarter, mason sucks as usual and Pop needs to sit duncan !

[Johnny RIngo]

mason and bogans can't play together

Bogans shouldn't be getting more than 10/15 mins a game and Mason has his head up his ass this year. Pop should have went with Hairston or Jackson a little in the 3rd.

[DPG21920]

Come on Spurs, clamp down early this quarter and really put them away.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

hill has been on the floor more than ever tonight lol

[Libri]

:bang

[deadpool]

oh shit...

[Muser]

Here we go...

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair SUCKS

SIT THE PIECE OF SHIT CALLED MASON

[DPG21920]

14-2 run

[DesignatedT]

wow. spurs better not let this shit get to single digits.

[Brazil]

and we have a game again... fuck

[Spurs Brazil]

Heat 14-2 run since the piece of shit is in the game

[the crimson blur]

5-6 minutes (to this point) in a game like this, honestly Mason (or Hairston, either I said) is going to kill the Spurs? In the unlikely event that happened, Pop could have put Hill back in quickly.

:lol

[CFH]

Gotta love how the Heat don't show up till' the 4th quarter...

[benefactor]

Are we going to see another patented 3 quarter game by the Spurs?

[Charles Sappa]

13 points game, cmon guys!

[TIMMYD!]

Just got back...

[ElNono]

LOL Mason guarding Wade...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sad to say it again, but:


You know what tells me we're still irrelevant though? All year we have allowed runs at the end of quarters, particularly the 3rd, and contenders don't do that.

I need to get me a Colombian woman. :D

[Libri]

Come on man!

[DPG21920]

Spurs going completely dry.

[ElNono]

We're officially a TO machine

[TD 21]

One time that I hate to say I was right, but it looks like I was right. Now, the Spurs are in a tough spot. If they don't re-take control of this game in the next two minutes, they're in for a fight to the finish, will have to wear out the starters and more than likely get blown out early in tomorrow's game.

Fucking Heat had to keep Wade in to start the fourth, as if this is game 7 of the finals. Since when is he a player that can run all day? He looks gassed five minutes into halves.

[Charles Sappa]

no no no i can´t believe

[TIMMYD!]

I've been watching this game for like 5 minutes and I've witnessed like 3 turnovers and misses.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

miami is back!

[TIMMYD!]

Make that 4 turnovers...

[deadpool]

holy fucking shit!!!!

[DPG21920]

Bull shit calls all night.

[Libri]

The wheels are coming off.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

that is like 10 TOs in a fucking row

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Weak sauce.

[FeZZy]

I think to declare victory prematurely
jinxed dude

[Charles Sappa]

no way bullshit call

[Chieflion]

What the fuck!

[TIMMYD!]

20-2 run. WTF?!!!!!

[Muser]

lol spurs

[Libri]

20-2 run

[Brazil]

no offense lazy defense

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

holy shit unfuckbelievable

[Charles Sappa]

¡Time Out please!

[bdictjames]

haha.. wow

Put Tim Duncan in before its too late.

[TIMMYD!]

Holy shit, this is a suck-fest!

[HarlemHeat37]

Hill is such a terrible passer, I can't believe so many people here think the Spurs play better with him than Parker..

I have to agree with TD21 here, everybody looks gassed now..it wouldn't have hurt to see Hairston get 10 minutes..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The wheels are coming off.

Why is anyone surprised by this? We've done it ALL YEAR!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs have self-destructed tonight.

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice sucks

[Brazil]

7 pts game fuck me

[nbaman99]

is this 4 real?

[FeZZy]

we need the offense to go through manu not hill :bang

[easy7]

Take a time out pops, shit..

[Spurious]

Get out of the way and let Man win this. Nobody else wants to.

[deadpool]

have got to be shitting me!

[AnthonyM]

Boy, it'd really be nice if we had Parker right now to blow by Chalmers and get some easy points to calm the crowd down...

[TIMMYD!]

Ginobili with a looooooooong 33333333 to take it back to 9!

[Libri]

Manu with a loooooooong 3.

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[HarlemHeat37]

Jefferson can't even get by Haslem off the dribble..

[FeZZy]

thank you manu!

[DPG21920]

Manu is hilarious.

[Charles Sappa]

Manu thanks

[easy7]

MANUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, sign the motherfucker

[Muser]

Thank the good fucking lord for Manu...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

HUGE 3 by Manu. Why haven't we resigned him by now?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

manu is "heated"

[alchemist]

:downspin: Manu earning that off season money!!! :downspin:

[Brazil]

don't tell me we don't TP attacking the rim for easy (for him) layups to help in this kind of situation

[bbarry]

manuuuuuuu 333333333333333333333

[TDfan2007]

Manu is PISSED! I'm glad, he's the only guy on this team with nuts come crunch time. Even Tim's been awful in the 4th this season...

[Chieflion]

Thank god we have Manu Ginobili!

[bdictjames]

Manu tres!

[nbaman99]

what would we do without manu? Tim even suck on this game. We are taking the leads so easy and completely lose interest in the game.

[Muser]

But still, :lmao :lmao :lmao Spurs. How the fuck does a 26 point game become competitive again...

[DPG21920]

Jefferson can't even get by Haslem off the dribble..

Because every time he gets by him and hits his shoulder he gets called for a charge.

[Brazil]

Manu team !

[Libri]

Why is anyone surprised by this? We've done it ALL YEAR!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

I'm not surprised. I know better.

[TIMMYD!]

That Nissan commercial with GH3 may feature the worst acting I've ever seen.

[the crimson blur]

God I love Manu.

His reaction after that 3 was awesome.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

have got to be shitting me!

Really?


Why is anyone surprised by this? We've done it ALL YEAR!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Spurs fans must be the dumbest muthfuckers on the planet. What has changed? Not a thing. This team, sadly, does not have championship level chemistry, and they aren't magically going to develop it right now.

[alchemist]

But still, :lmao :lmao :lmao Spurs. How the fuck does a 26 point game become competitive again...
ask the Bulls...

[OrEmuN]

Do we need Manu to bail us out every game? The rest of the players should start picking up the slack

[deadpool]

about time RJ

[Muser]

Where the fuck is the foul there?

[FeZZy]

Rj!

[easy7]

Dickkkkkkkkkk

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

manu played 30 mins already

[TIMMYD!]

Manu with another 333333333333333333333333333!

[Muser]

So RJ running into Haslem when he has one foot in the air is a charge, but that wasn't. k.

[bbarry]

gino 33333333333333333

[mando6599]

That's a Manu tres!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

But still, :lmao :lmao :lmao Spurs. How the fuck does a 26 point game become competitive again...




Why is anyone surprised by this? We've done it ALL YEAR!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

[CFH]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[benefactor]

He's Manu Ginobili.

[boutons_deux]

Joe Montana slings another TD

[ElNono]

Manuuuuuu.... There's the heart of the team...

[deadpool]

Resign him tonight!!!!!!

[FeZZy]

:lmao yes! argentina's favorite son!

[Refocus]

god i fucking love manu

[Spurs Brazil]

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

Mason (the piece of shit) sit and we made a run

WTF POP, NEVER PLAY THIS SCRUB AGAIN

[Chieflion]

Manu tres!

[TDomination]

We so better keep Manu! The guy is amazing

[nbaman99]

Spurs needs to give manu extension like tomorrow.

[Brazil]

lol tim running at manu... "you're saving the day" !

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

So, what will it take to keep Manu? 2 years won't get it done any more, I'm thinking 3 years 21-24 million is a deal he'd take.

[FeZZy]

come on spurs you got this

[TDomination]

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

Mason (the piece of shit) sit and we made a run

WTF POP, NEVER PLAY THIS SCRUB AGAIN

I would have liked to have seen Cedric Jackson instead of Mason while Hill was out

[OrEmuN]

Manu is winning the games all by himself !

[ElNono]

Somebody hand that guy a contract and a pen... Do it RC, do it!

[TDfan2007]

The Heat are in a 2-3 zone, so essentially it's on our perimeter guys to attack the zone and make something happen.

[the crimson blur]

Pay that man.

Give him a contract.

[TDomination]

Somebody hand that guy a contract and a pen... Do it RC, do it!

He deserves it, no doubt

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Somebody hand that guy a contract and a pen... Do it RC, do it!

damn i will provide the pen...

[qiuyizeng]

only manu has the heart!

[Muser]

So, what will it take to keep Manu? 2 years won't get it done any more, I'm thinking 3 years 21-24 million is a deal he'd take.

:tu

[DPG21920]

:wow Spurs get a call.

[TIMMYD!]

Manu Ginobili SHOULD NOT be on any other team!

Speaking of Manu, he takes a charge on DWade!

[Charles Sappa]

nice

[ElNono]

Manu doing it all

[FeZZy]

manu is so amazing yes! offensive foul

[Muser]

Wow, Manu pulled a Haslem.

[deadpool]

Fuck you wade!!!

[murpjf88]

get mcfluff out of their.

[alchemist]

:lmao Timmy mean mugging Wade

[Muser]

:lmao Wade complaining about fouls.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

dice is like 100 times slower than the actual pace

[FeZZy]

yes the refs got this for us haha

[DesignatedT]

Rj!!

[TDomination]

Jefferson, thank you

[Muser]

Nice RJ.

[FeZZy]

why is rj boss now

[deadpool]

there you go tim...

[TDomination]

Manu with the rebound and the assist.

[mosdef17]

To me, that baseline drive by RJ was exactly what Spurs had in mind when they got him. Shot clock winding down, he manufactures something...

[TDomination]

why is rj boss now

because of the guy in your avatar

[ohmwrecker]

RJ is getting it done tonight!

[Muser]

21 turnovers...

[DPG21920]

21 TO's is crazy. Still blowing them out.

[TIMMYD!]

:lol:lol:lol

Chalmers didn't see the pass from Wade.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

waahahahahahhahaha

[OrEmuN]

We are going to our new big 3 in the crunch time... Manu, TD and Dick

[murpjf88]

Duncan looks like shit

[FeZZy]

dude chalmers sucks now what happened?

[Libri]

21 TO's is crazy. Still blowing them out.

It it weren't for that huge cushion.

[TDomination]

I'm surprised that didn't go in lol

[bbarry]

THRILL HiLL with a clutch deuce

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

thank god for manu

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill J, ball game

[DesignatedT]

heat caught us off gaurd with that aggressiveness they showed. that a way spurs to hold it off.

[Muser]

Big :tu to the Heat announcers, they're damn good.

[benefactor]

Hill driving the nail in the coffin.

[easy7]

Spurssssssssssss!!

[DPG21920]

It it weren't for that huge cushion.

Spurs dominated and let off the gas. The turnovers are the only reason Miami was even within 6 points.

This was a crazy impressive win, that seems less bc the turn overs. They have held Miami to a crazy low score and this is with Miami playing very well at home as of late.

[FeZZy]

14-4 run!

[OrEmuN]

Hill >> Chalmers

[TDomination]

Manu by himself stopped that Heat run

[CFH]

I think this one is over now.

[deadpool]

that's the nail....

[Muser]

What's sad is the Spurs needed a really long miracle 3 from Manu to stop the Heat.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

How tall are the Davalos twins?

[benefactor]

It's great to see the Spurs fight and win instead of fold. That gives me a glimpse of hope that this team is not the team from earlier in the year.

[FeZZy]

detroit announcers haah i miss them from 05 HE FILLED IT UP!

[ElNono]

I hate NBA TV... :pctoss

[OrEmuN]

Can we see hairston now ?

[DPG21920]

Are you kidding me, NBA TV?

[spursfaninla]

no they did not need a long manu 3 to stop the heat, they are up 16. momentum-wise, manu's 3 crushed miami's spirit, but it was not "needed" to win.

[Muser]

Spurs dominated and let off the gas. The turnovers are the only reason Miami was even within 6 points.

This was a crazy impressive win, that seems less bc the turn overs. They have held Miami to a crazy low score and this is with Miami playing very well at home as of late.

Not really, when a 26 point game becomes a 6 point game, couple that with 21 turnovers and I wouldn't call it crazy impressive.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Thanks for taking our game away, NBA ILPBB... :rolleyes

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu, Hill and RJ with great games. TD and Bogans played solid

Dice and Blair were terrible and Mason was Mason, a complete disgrace

[CFH]

Did they switch the game permanently??? :(

[TDomination]

Are you kidding me, NBA TV?
what happened?

[Brazil]

I'd take the win but before Orlando it's a lot of minutes for Tim and Manu especially having a 26 pts lead in the 3rd quarter

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck nba tv

[benefactor]

Stern just make a phone call.

[duncan228]

wtf?

[Spurs Brazil]

2:03 SA - 20 sec timeout
2:03 SA - M. Ginobili defensive rebound
2:05 MIA - U. Haslem misses an 18-foot jumper along the left baseline
2:17 MIA - D. Wright defensive rebound
2:18 SA - R. Jefferson misses a 21-foot jumper from the right wing

[deadpool]

that damn Cavs game...

[Muser]

no they did not need a long manu 3 to stop the heat, they are up 16. momentum-wise, manu's 3 crushed miami's spirit, but it was not "needed" to win.

Heat go on a 20-2 run, Manu hits the 3 and then they go back up by 16. Go figure.

[DPG21920]

Not really, when a 26 point game becomes a 6 point game, couple that with 21 turnovers and I wouldn't call it crazy impressive.

They dominated a team that plays very good at home and held them to under 70 points with 2 minutes left.

Teams make runs and the only reason the Heat had a chance was because the 21 TO's.

[TDomination]

Manu, Hill and RJ with great games. TD and Bogans played solid

Dice and Blair were terrible and Mason was Mason, a complete disgrace

Thats being nice

[Chieflion]

what happened?

They switched to the fucking Cavs game.
