[timtonymanu]

It's okay Malik. You did your damn thing tonight.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 121-90 after the 3rd

[angelbelow]

Damn Malik with a nice mean stare

[angelbelow]

Wow what a game so far

[Chieflion]

On pace for 160, do it.

[Libri]

Mason still has nothing.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

:tu been a good d league call up game...

[tothrowed]

if we take mason out we can score in the 160's real talk

[Brazil]

crazy game really ! it's really frustrating to destroy this kind of team and being kicked in ass against top teams

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wow....seriously if you need a career game of any sort...play the GSW

[FeZZy]

46 to 9 bench points 71 %

[Libri]

70 points in the paint

[Deimosfobos]

What a joke of a team... 121 pts allowed in 3 qts.

[timtonymanu]

Ian misses.

Haters will say this is why he sucks.

Fans will say it takes him a while to get into rhythm.

[Chieflion]

Ian better pick up the slack now.

[cnyc3]

Ian: missed bunny, foul, and a TO

[FeZZy]

Hell, even RMJ scores. :lol

[Chomag]

Damn! Ian is fast for a big guy!

[noob cake]

Spurs doing well in their first game against the D-League.

[timtonymanu]

Mason really fell.

He went from our 4th best player last year to a scrub that cant get in the rotation anymore.

[Libri]

Ian with an aggressive drive for a layup.

[FeZZy]

ian block BOY!

[Spurs Brazil]

Ian scores and now block

[FeZZy]

[Chieflion]

Blocked by Ian. Good help defense.

[Chomag]

ian..........sucks

yep, he is the only player to ever miss a shot or turn the ball over in the NBA huh :rolleyes

[FeZZy]

is there some kinda record for most and ones in a game?

[phxspurfan]

The Zebras called too many fould on Tolliver. Other than that I liked this game.

[FeZZy]

is there some kinda record for most and ones in a game?
there is another one

[timtonymanu]

Malik and one !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chieflion]

Ian after his choppy start is awesome.

[tothrowed]

real talk this crowd should be going wild comon crowd step it up

[angelbelow]

I know its against Tolliver... but Ians offense doesnt look too bad.

[murpjf88]

this is harlem globbtrotters bad

[quentin_compson]

Spurs scoring in Suns-dimensions ... :downspin:

[FeZZy]

yep, he is the only player to ever miss a shot ot turn the ball over in the NBA huh :rolleyes

[siraulo23]

at least 150

lets do it~

[FeZZy]

[raspsa]

Spurs need to save some of this offense for upcoming games..

[Chieflion]

This game is just too epic for my post-game article.

[FeZZy]

wet J

[nbaman99]

So is Cedrick Jackson gone already?

[Deimosfobos]

I want 10 spurs in double figures...

[Fundamental]

lets hit 150 SPURS!!!! This is soo much fun to watch.

[Libri]

That was a good move by Ian. To bad he couldn't make the layup.

[cnyc3]

Ian beasting.

[angelbelow]

I think when Mason takes those wild rushed shots and misses it not only kills our offense but probably hurts his own confidence.

[FeZZy]

god rmj sucks
good hit ian

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol big ball CIA pop

[ducks]

69 percent shooting unreal

[FeZZy]

good finish

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Even though it is a joke of a game, Ian is definitely a rotation player in the NBA. They'd better find a way to give him the LLE or something.

[Deimosfobos]

8 spurs with at least 10 pts, 2 more and i get my ten...

[FeZZy]

haha temple trying to do a euro step..fail

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol hairston is ridiculous on his drives

[Spurs Brazil]

[Deimosfobos]

[angelbelow]

[Tp9gospursgo]

LETS HIT 150 GUYS!:flag:

[FeZZy]

[angelbelow]

Malik hasnt looked good on the FT line though. Hope he works hard in that area because it looks like his game can earn a lot of FTs.

[FeZZy]

150 pleaseeeeeeee

[toki9]

Ian is going to be a very good nba player for the spurs or for another team but the kid is talented big and fast he has all the tools

If I were Ian, I'd run as far away from Pop as soon as possible...

[it's me]

mason will make sure we don't get 150.....

[cnyc3]

I dont think we'll get to 150. game has slowed down, RMJ misses/TOs

[FeZZy]

[FeZZy]

[it's me]

please Pop take RMJ out..... we want 150..................

[quentin_compson]

Well, this game is fun. But in a way, it's also ugly. :lol

[tothrowed]

yo i think we should be worried about mason cuz in a game like this if he cant make 3's whats he gonna do with good defense

[angelbelow]

So this late into the season... can Ian still earn playing time down the stretch?

[ezau]

Crazy game, was the Suns' score 142?

[Fernando TD21]

Wow I just saw the box score, is this the highest score for the Spurs in the Duncan era?

[FeZZy]

didnt ellis have like 39..ouch

[TIMMYD!]

That Grant Hill commercial is very ironic, "the best offense is a good defense"

[angelbelow]

So this late into the season... can Ian still earn playing time down the stretch?

I think Malik has at least..

[Brazil]

If I were Ian, I'd run as far away from Pop as soon as possible...

sadly true

[toki9]

yo i think we should be worried about mason cuz in a game like this if he cant make 3's whats he gonna do with good defense

RMJ is broken at this point...the guy needs a fresh start somewhere else...

[cnyc3]

4 straight buckets for whoever RMJ is guarding

[FeZZy]

i hate rmj if we dont hit 150

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

the GSW hit like 5 threes in a role...doesn't look like we can hit 150 tho

[FeZZy]

6 points left....

[alchemist]

RMJ ruined it for us unfortunately.

[FeZZy]

5 points left

[Tp9gospursgo]

5 more points!!!

[toki9]

sadly true

For me, Pop's disdain for Mahinmi is one of the biggest mysteries in my 20+ years of following the Spurs...

[Chomag]

Wow! mason is getting burned!

[FeZZy]

3 points! left

[TIMMYD!]

Another dunk for Malik!

[FeZZy]

rmj fucking sucks

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck Pop at least let us get the 150.

[Tp9gospursgo]

[timtonymanu]

[baseline bum]

Damn, that game was crazy.

[blkroadrunners]

What a score.....

[murpjf88]

it s golden state guys
Fans in here needed a cookie. One last hurrah before everything blows up in their face starting on Sunday. If they play anywhere near the way they played tonight, they'll get mauled.

Then you'll start seeing threads like "This team has no heart", "Duncan is soft", "No Ian, no win", "RJ sucks", and the ever popular " What does pop see in Mason"

Spurs set Popovich-era record against Warriors (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap?gid=2010031924&prov=ap)
By Paul J. Weber

The Golden State Warriors have lost 24 consecutive times in San Antonio, but they’ve never seen anything here like this.

Ditto for Spurs coach Gregg Popovich.

Scoring the most points in a game in nearly 20 years, the Spurs throttled the Golden State Warriors 147-116 on Friday night in the most points scored under Popovich since he took over in 1996. Manu Ginobili scored 23 points, and Richard Jefferson had 21 for the Spurs, who’ve won nine of their last 11.

“The win is more important than the points,” Spurs guard George Hill said.

It was nonetheless impressive.

Not since a 140-91 win against Dallas to open the 1991-92 season had the Spurs scored so many points in a single game.

Monta Ellis scored 39 points for the Warriors, who haven’t won in San Antonio since Valentine’s Day in 1997 and whose defense was dreadful even by their NBA-worst standards. The Spurs shot 65 percent from the field and flirted with eclipsing 70 before emptying their bench for the entire fourth quarter.

The Warriors didn’t dwell much on the blowout.

“Got another one tomorrow, so I’m not worrying about this,” Ellis said. “I’m glad it’s over with.”

It was over even earlier for Don Nelson. The Golden State coach was ejected late in the late first quarter for apparently arguing a foul called against C.J. Watson, earning Nelson two quick technicals.

Assistant coach Keith Smart took over from there, but he declined after the game to elaborate on what happened. The Warriors didn’t have answers, either.

“It’s mind-boggling,” said Corey Maggette, who scored 30 points.

Livid as Nelson was with referee Matt Boland, few at the AT&T Center seemed to notice Nelson’s ejection—fans were distracted while giving a standing ovation to gold medal bobsledder Justin Olsen.

The Spurs looked practically Olympic-caliber thanks to the lowly Warriors.

After scoring just 84 points in a loss to Orlando on Wednesday, the Spurs already had 77 on the scoreboard by halftime against Golden State.

The eye-popping numbers didn’t stop there.

The Spurs led 121-90 at the end of the third quarter—just 10 points shy of their previous single-game high this season. San Antonio missed just three shots in the third and already had a season-high 34 assists by then, and finished the game with 39.

Tim Duncan had 17 points on 8-of-8 shooting, but most importantly played just 14 minutes. The Spurs will need their 33-year-old All-Star as fresh as possible for what’s ahead: their toughest five-game stretch of the season, starting with Atlanta on Sunday.

From there, the Spurs will face Oklahoma City, the Lakers, Cleveland and Boston. Even though the Spurs are playing one of their best stretches of the season, they’re still fighting to move up from the seventh spot in the playoff picture.

The Spurs are looking at the standings. But Popovich said that’s about it.

“It’s a waste of time to want and desire (to move up),” Popovich said. “Go play, and you are where you are.”

Reggie Williams had 15 points, and Watson had 11 for the Warriors, who played again without Stephen Curry. The rookie missed his second straight game because of a sprained left ankle after being the lone Warriors player to appear in every game this season before this week.

NOTES: The previous record for points scored under Popovich was 136 in a double-overtime win against—guess who—Golden State in April 2005… The Spurs franchise record for points in regulation is 163 set against the then-San Diego Clippers in 1978. … The Spurs never trailed.

or "Hawks aren't real contenders", "Durant wasn't motivated tonight", "Kobe didn't have his special socks" & "they only beat Cleveland by 20? :rolleyes"

I still want to know what pop see in Mason. :downspin:

[Bruno]

Spurs in march:
Record: 8-2
Ginobili: 28:30 mpg
Duncan: 27:30 mpg

I like these stats a lot.

Spurs schedule is damn crazy in March/April this year. Losing Parker sucked but Spurs have done a awesome at winning games without Manu and Tim playing too much. :tu

Spurs face now a very difficult stretch but they are at lest quite rested and have a quite comfortable on the 9th seed to face it. They are in the less worst case.

9th seed? What good is that going to do them?

[Bruno]

9th seed? What good is that going to do them?

Given Spurs crazy schedule and Parker's injury, I think the only realistic goal for the end of the regular season is to make the playoffs.

Right now, Spurs have a full 6 games lead against the first non-playoff teams (Houston and Memphis).
