Game Blog: Spurs @ Hawks - March 21, 2010

[DPG21920]

RJ with some good defense on JJ.

[Killakobe81]

Hey this is what I miss about Spurstalk lots of folks posting for their Spurs and hope renewed ...

They look good 2 me tonight I think you would have to say Spurs have at least a 40% chance of beating Dallas or Denver ...and

maybe 20% of beating lakers or Cavs ...

IF RJ and MANU can keep it up (recent play) they will be a tough out ...

[VBM]

A shotblocker or two on the floor would be nice right about now...

[DPG21920]

Finally RJ gets a call.

[Spurs Brazil]

Give Malik a chance, Crawford is killing Bogans

[phxspurfan]

Where is Dun-can, where is Dun-can, there he is...there he is...

sitting on the bench there, sitting on the bench there...

we dont have tony parker either btw.

[DPG21920]

Come on Bogans, step it up.

[DPG21920]

That was good defense by Bogans on Crawford and JJ hit a tough shot.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

blair's screen sucks

[Libri]

Just give it to Manu and get the hell out of the way.

[alchemist]

seems like everyone decides to shoot 80% or better on their jumpshots when they play the Spurs. :bang

[DPG21920]

Hill, please come up big. Forget about the first 3, just play aggressive now.

[Johnny RIngo]

A shotblocker or two on the floor would be nice right about now...

Ratliff for a protected 2nd rounder.

[slick'81]

tough miss manu

[Libri]

That was good defense by Bogans on Crawford and JJ hit a tough shot.

Yup, that was actually some pretty good D.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

please STOP DOUBLING JOHNSON for christ's sake

Evans hits a 3. Crawford gets a wide open 3 which I'm amazed he missed (and the Spurs turn over the long rebound).

Doubling Johnson is what got the Hawks back to even in the 2nd.

[DPG21920]

Terrible defensive play right there. You cannot give up wide open 3's.

[HarlemHeat37]

Why the fuck are they double-teaming Joe Johnson? he's 4-14..what the fuck?..

[alchemist]

Ratliff for a protected 2nd rounder.
Ratliff defends 18 footers? :lmao

[phxspurfan]

damn

[Killakobe81]

Great pass by Hill that is the future Lakers PG ...

[slick'81]

fck come on

[DPG21920]

Another open 3 (Spurs bailed out) and the Spurs don't get the board.

[ffadicted]

George Nash Hill

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck

[CFH]

Hold on to the ball guys

[phxspurfan]

Why the fuck are they double-teaming Joe Johnson? he's 4-14..what the fuck?..

Because he's the best player on the Hawks. And the swarming defense they've been playing on him has made him 4-14.

[Johnny RIngo]

Fuck Bogans

[ffadicted]

FUCKING BOGANS

ugggh

[Chieflion]

Rebounding? Got any?

[DesignatedT]

rebounds

hawks - 36
spurs - 34

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Where the hell is McDyess? He's been playing great and more importantly, REBOUNDING!

Get bonner and bogans the f off the court

[HarlemHeat37]

Because he's the best player on the Hawks. And the swarming defense they've been playing on him has made him 4-14.

They haven't swarmed him at all, he's been primarily covered by one guy with the help D coming inside when he drives..you don't double team a guy that can't make anything..

[DPG21920]

rebounds

hawks - 36
spurs - 34

Offensive Rebounds:

Hawks - 15

[DPG21920]

Doubling is a bad strategy.

[phxspurfan]

They haven't swarmed him at all, he's been primarily covered by one guy with the help D coming inside when he drives..you don't double team a guy that can't make anything..

Did you see the highlights from his last game? He was something like .100 from the field until the 4th and ended with about 22, and hit the game winner.

[slick'81]

come on bonner

[DesignatedT]

Offensive Rebounds:

Hawks - 15

spurs - 11

[slick'81]

Timmy!!!

[Libri]

Yes, off. reb. by Tim.

[TIMMYD!]

I just knew that 3 by JJ was going in...

[slick'81]

smith is a beast fckn joe johnson

[alchemist]

another costly missed rebound. fuck.

[DPG21920]

Another offensive board, ends up in a dagger 3.

[ffadicted]

Thank you TD

[Spurs Brazil]

grab the FUCKING reb

[VBM]

Obviously Hill makes the corner 3 that doesn't count

[DPG21920]

:lol now Hill makes a 3.

[phxspurfan]

sigh

[slick'81]

time out spurs

[DPG21920]

If Manu makes that it is a good shot. Misses like he did, just another bad decision.

[CFH]

Where's the defense ffs

[TIMMYD!]

Fucking Bonner left Smith wide open and now they've got a 6 point lead.

[Libri]

That double team was crap!

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner is lost. Put Dice

[superjames1992]

Manu has cooled off.

[ffadicted]

Jesus fuck

[Chieflion]

That was pathetic defense.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

There's the working lead they were looking for. 6 points is going to be very tough to overcome in the last 7 minutes with the energy the Hawks are bringing.

Oh well..................

[Brazil]

Hawks on a roll

[HarlemHeat37]

This team doesn't know how to rotate and the guys that do are too slow to get there on time..

[TIMMYD!]

Where's the defense ffs

It got lost during the summer.

[superjames1992]

Bonner is lost. Put Dice

Dice can't hit the broad side of a barn, though. And Blair hasn't played well. That position is just kind of screwed right now, no matter how plays there.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

not looking good....offense is so bad right now

[Ghjkll]

Manu is probably tired...Leading the team in minutes played so far, with almost 34.

[Brazil]

I'm actually surprised to see us at only 6 pts, Hawks are dominating this game

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs are about done for the night. Can't see them coming back with every Hawks player hustling while we're trotting out garbage players like Bogans and Bonner.

[Killakobe81]

Hawks CAN NOT out execute Spurs but they are more athletic at almost every position right now ...

Tomorrow night will be interesting vs. Thunder both teams should be tired ...

[slick'81]

sic pass

[nbaman99]

fucking its always like this, just about to take the lead we fuck up. Also on the season, we need this game and what we do? we fuck up.

[phxspurfan]

Another touch foul

[Libri]

Bill Land pissed his pants.

[alchemist]

Manu is definitely gassed.

[DPG21920]

Spurs getting bailed out by the Hawks missing open looks. Then the Spurs keep bricking.

[slick'81]

brick

[DPG21920]

OMG Hill, you have to finish that.

[phxspurfan]

Come on Hill, make that layup

[Rummpd]

Spurs still in this thing!

[CFH]

Damn, Hill couldn't finish, at least he gets 2 at the line.

[ffadicted]

Spurs need a momentum 3, bogans bricks, so fucking figure

[urunobili]

http://carolparafenko.com/hawk%20carcass.jpg

[slick'81]

yes get manu some rest

[DPG21920]

Lets go, just play a good 5 minutes. Pick up the defense.

[slick'81]

hit it

[Rummpd]

Spurs take the lead!

[CFH]

Bonner for 3!!! Spurs get the lead back finally.

[phxspurfan]

Bonner clutch 3 :king

[Killakobe81]

I think the S[urs need a true PF and give up the Tim at PF charade ...
He would be at worst 2nd best center in the NBA ...

[DPG21920]

Spurs lead on a clutch Bonner 3!

[superjames1992]

Bonner!!!!!!!!!!!!! MR. CLUTCH!!!

[slick'81]

yes fckn bonner

[VBM]

Bonner!

[alchemist]

Fucking bonner!!!!

[Libri]

Sandwich man with a 3.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 333333333333333333333333

[DesignatedT]

bonner 3. this aint over. no dagger yet....

[ffadicted]

BONNER!!!! FUck yes about time

[Chieflion]

I love me some Matt Bonner. Nice 3.

[slick'81]

lol atlanta gave that to bonner

[OrEmuN]

Bonnner !!

[YoMamaIsCallin]

There's the working lead they were looking for. 6 points is going to be very tough to overcome in the last 7 minutes with the energy the Hawks are bringing.

Oh well..................

Ummmm......

was not expecting a 7-0 run at this point....

go Spurs? lol

[DPG21920]

You could tell that was going in. That release was smooth with a perfect rotation on the ball. Very good shot.

[Muser]

Come on Spurs, lockdown on D now..

[boutons_deux]

Red Rocket incoming!!

[duncan228]

Sandwich man with a 3.

:lol

[slick'81]

get bonner going and get him some looks

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

that 3 was huge....

[HarlemHeat37]

Let's see if they can get any momentum here, let's see some defense..

It would be nice if Centerpiece didn't have to play, but unfortunately he will..hopefully Manu can come back on for him soon if he's rested..

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs need a momentum 3, bogans bricks, so fucking figure

Spurs are going to get wrecked if they play Bogans in the playoffs. Not convinced by Bonner either(even if he did make a three just now).

[Libri]

Spurs getting open looks.

[DPG21920]

Spurs have to close out this game by rebounding. No more offensive boards for ATL.

[Brazil]

you can tell what you want but since several weeks I'm happy to see Matt on the rotation.

[Killakobe81]

Great game so far ...
Spurs are smarter have tum and Manu great closers should win ...
BUT JJ and Jamal can close as well but Jamal takes (and sometimes) makes bad shots ...

[DPG21920]

Bogans has not played well, but Crawford kills everyone.

[CFH]

Late whistle, ugh...

[slick'81]

oh come on

[TIMMYD!]

That whistle was like 2 seconds late...

[phxspurfan]

Late call

[Muser]

Fuck.

[phxspurfan]

Mano back in

[slick'81]

get your ass in there manu

[ffadicted]

Yes Manu about time

[VBM]

Nice bounce for TD

[TIMMYD!]

Tim AND1

[DPG21920]

Finally Tim!

[Chieflion]

Fucking A small ball.

[slick'81]

[Libri]

[CFH]

Duncan and 1

[DesignatedT]

[phxspurfan]

Oh bewbs that was a nice bounce

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and one!!!!!!!!!!!!

[YoMamaIsCallin]

That was the luckiest and-1 ever.

[Muser]

Duncan and 1!

But FUCK! Small ball...

[ffadicted]

OH FUCK

Is that Small ball I see in the last goddamn 4 minutes of a game where offensive rebounds have been murdering you?

What?

[DPG21920]

Very nice Tim. Very nice.

[DPG21920]

Defense is definitely picking up.

[VBM]

Mannnnnuuuuuu

[DPG21920]

Oh shit Manu :lol

[CFH]

Crazy one hander by Manu.

[slick'81]

get the fck off ginobili

[YoMamaIsCallin]

Holy crap, what a floater by Manu.

[Muser]

How does Manu do it?

[DPG21920]

Damn, that was a strong move by Marvin.

[phxspurfan]

Marvin Franchise Williams

[admiralfats]

tim and manu willing the team to victory. love it.

[slick'81]

how did that not go in lmao

[ffadicted]

Jesus fuck manu makes awkward shots sometimes

[DPG21920]

Great pass by Manu. Should have been an and 1.

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck! Almost another AND1 from Tim.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[Spurs Brazil]

damn, almost

[CFH]

Manu's reaction after Timmy missed the shot. :lol

[Killakobe81]

Great play by Tim.
This games should how the informed why blocks, steals or rebounds does not mean you area great defender . Everytime Smith guards RJ or or Manu he gets beat.
Dont get me wrong he is a GOOD defender BUT great or DPOY ? NO.

[Muser]

Times like this I wish Duncan would just slam it down more often.

[slick'81]

defense

[redzero]

Timmeh was going to jizz his pants if he got another and-one.

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck!

[ffadicted]

Is this the first game of the season where the spurs have actually performed in the clutch against a good team?

[alchemist]

how wasn't that over the back?

[CFH]

Dammit Horford...

[DPG21920]

What a tip in by Al Horford. At least the Spurs are flying around on defense.

[DesignatedT]

manu with a bad shot. terrible shot selection.

[Libri]

Damn!

[DPG21920]

Is this the first game of the season where the spurs have actually performed in the clutch against a good team?

No.

[HarlemHeat37]

Here we go, this is where the Spurs have sucked this year, clutch time..Ginobili taking a bad shot starts it..

[ffadicted]

OH MY FUCK Offensive rebounds

[Muser]

Manu wtf?!?!

[phxspurfan]

Did somebody Mike Vick? Because this one is a "Dog Fight!"

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN boards
DAMN boards
DAMN boards
DAMN boards
DAMN boards
DAMN boards

[DPG21920]

Josh, missssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[TIMMYD!]

Times like this I wish Duncan would just slam it down more often.

At least once a game something like that happens and it pisses me off.

If you have the chance to slam it, then do it!

[Chieflion]

Good foul. Lay Josh Smith down onto the floor.

[VBM]

Need a bucket...

[superjames1992]

Will someone put a body on Horford?

Alright, Manu, you've made one of your last eight three point attempts; there's no ned to take a fadeaway three there.

[slick'81]

tie game fckers

[YoMamaIsCallin]

Here we go, this is where the Spurs have sucked this year, clutch time..Ginobili taking a bad shot starts it..

I disagree that was a good shot he had plenty of room and time. He just missed it. It happens.

[CFH]

Bonner. :lol

[DPG21920]

Bon Bon

[AnthonyM]

rofl bonner

[superjames1992]

Bonner with some low post moves!

[alchemist]

Bonner going Kareem!

[slick'81]

lmao matt u are fckn nutz

[urunobili]

fucking announcers giving Josh Smith Anti jinx mojo :pctoss

[Muser]

Bonner? :lmao

[CFH]

Wooooooooooow, surprised that 3 was missed, caught a break.

[DPG21920]

Get a good shot and make it.

[ffadicted]

LMAO fuck yeah bonner

[DPG21920]

FT"s for Manu. Great drive, but got away with one.

[DesignatedT]

wow bonner dont ever do that again.

[redzero]

Who replaced Bonner with Hakeem?

[slick'81]

back to 4

[alchemist]

Wooooooooooow, surprised that 3 was missed, caught a break.
that would've been a back breaker.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

Spurs showing they have some balls! Nice.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Manu, we need a stop and a BOARD now

[Muser]

Stop here and then just run the clock down..

[boutons_deux]

hot damn, that's some Spurs bball.

+4 1:20 left, get a stop, and we got this.

[DPG21920]

Spurs have to hold onto this one. They went all in with the minutes for Manu and such. To lose would be really bad. Just close it out.

[Killakobe81]

Looks line Pop going all in will Manu have any left for the next game?
Big game by Manu juevos grande!

[Brazil]

I'm watching and I'm still surprised to see us with 4 pts lead ! Boys are fighting !

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bonner's three and that "jump hook" saves the day so far

[Libri]

It's good to see the Spurs making their free throws.

22-27, 81.5%

[raspsa]

Bonner delivering in the endgame..

[TIMMYD!]

Just close it out. One more miss from the Hawks on the next possession and it's a done deal.

No more offensive rebounds allowed!

[Johnny RIngo]

Must win situation. Lose this and we're fucked against OKC tomorrow.

[DPG21920]

Get stops. Get boards. Win.

[phxspurfan]

Unnless they blow out OKC Spurs are gonna be tired as hell going into the Laker game

[DPG21920]

Damn, tough score for JJ.

[Muser]

Atlanta have no fouls, NO jumpshots.

[AnthonyM]

oh my fuck

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck!

[CFH]

Dammit, Horford again...

[slick'81]

critical turn over

[DPG21920]

Turnover by Manu. Damn it.

[Refocus]

Just got home.. i hope the Spurs can win this one.. fuck TO! ahhh

[Libri]

:bang:bang

[Muser]

wow...

[DPG21920]

Shit. Need a stop.

[slick'81]

wow is right

[DPG21920]

Have to rebound.

[TIMMYD!]

Damn, game over... :depressed

[ffadicted]

TO and Offensive rebound... of course

[Muser]

fuckfuckfuck

[AnthonyM]

FUCK

[DPG21920]

Omg.

[phxspurfan]

:sleep

[alchemist]

omfg!

[TIMMYD!]

Overtime...

[VBM]

Ugh...ef this game

[slick'81]

spurs cant get that board when they have to over time

[DPG21920]

Spurs are very luck. Damn it Manu with the silly turn over.

[superjames1992]

SMH at that finish. At least the Spurs get to OT...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

FUCK we choked BADLY

FUCK FUCK FUCK

[DesignatedT]

wow. wowowowowowowow .

wow

[Muser]

Ot...

[CFH]

OT, oh boy...

[YoMamaIsCallin]

OMG the Spurs tried hard to give it away but the Hawks wouldn't take it.

[Spurs Brazil]

OT

fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Put McDyess in for god's sake!!

[Killakobe81]

What a game! Manu giveth and he taketh away!!
Horford is a beast I love that guy he would be a great PF!!

[ffadicted]

Motherfucking offensive rebounds man

[Chieflion]

You stupid fucks? OT? Give me a break.

[Muser]

Fucking Dejuan Blair, you dumb shit.

[DPG21920]

RJ defended JJ very well and Tim got out just enough on JJ on the last shot. Rebounding has destroyed us. Up 4 with a minute left and choke it up.

[Brazil]

wow... not mad at Manu he is obviously tired but he is giving everything he has

[mogrovejo]

Great game.

The Spurs ineptitude to win close games this season is truly bizarre.

[TIMMYD!]

We let the W in regulation just slip through our fingers.

[DPG21920]

How big is that non reviewed 3 pointer now :lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

in overtime we need to work the ball through tim duncan

[Cherry]

Not a good day for OverTime
