It's all about heart today. I know I've questioned this team's heart before but today we're gonna go out and get a W. It doesn't matter how but we will do it!

[alchemist]

Spurs young guns taking a W tonight :lobt2:

[anonoftheinternets]

:-? i hope the reason mcdyess and blair dint play much is coz they are going to be headlining today. Atleast that would make sense as to why we gave up all those rebounds yesterday.

[DPG21920]

A win tonight would erase the sting of last night and be a motha f'ing huge surprise. Who knows, the Spurs have used OKC to obtain big wins before.

[xellos88330]

Go spurs go!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

A W is very unlikely, but it would be a huge one..

Durant didn't come out against the Spurs in the last game, settling for bad shots and missing the easy ones he took..he had the same problem vs. Indiana yesterday..it's going to be very tough to stop a motivated Durant tonight..

Spurs coming off a grueling game last night..

Chances of a win are low, but it would be huge considering the circumstances and considering the standings..it counts for 2..

[Chomag]

We have The Centerpiece Y'all! No worries.

[ace3g]

they just said RJ is a game time decision, has a tweaked knee

[ace3g]

they said he will start though

[DesignatedT]

dont like the fact that okc played very poorly last night and durant seemed very pissed after last nights game.

going to be a tough one... going to need the young guys to step up tonight.

[TJastal]

Thunder are an athletic team, so I expect Pop to matchup with double doses of Bonner and Bogans tonight.

[anonoftheinternets]

wow i guess nobody cares about this game, is RJ playing?

[alchemist]

they just said RJ is a game time decision, has a tweaked knee
lol tweaked knee, this is the last thing the Spurs need.

[DesignatedT]

lets get this :ihit

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i can't believe manu and timmy are both playing wow

[8FOR!3]

Kristic made a long jumper, I'll give that to him, make him step up and make it. Don't worry guys, our centerpiece will have a field day with Durant. :D

[DPG21920]

:lol Dice losing 2 boards.

[DPG21920]

Then getting scored on.

[Chieflion]

Green is too quick for Dice.

[DPG21920]

Nice Hill. He really needs to have a big game tonight.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

why is dice giving ppl so much spaces

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill and one!!!

[Chieflion]

So Hill wants to show up today, or was that a fluke?

[Johnny RIngo]

they just said RJ is a game time decision, has a tweaked knee

The nightmare season continues. Sad thing is that there's the possibility that it can get much worse(Spurs miss the playoffs, Splitter stays in Spain).

[cnyc3]

Man audio league pass never works

[Chieflion]

Missed 2 free throws. LOL George Hill.

[blkroadrunners]

Nice move by Timmy.

[alchemist]

lol Hills defense

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

hill can't stop westbrook a bit

[alchemist]

Dice with that rebound....oh wait.

[DPG21920]

Dice is so bad. Doing nothing to keep OKC off the boards.

[Chieflion]

Dice getting into foul trouble early. No surprises there. Now we will see more Bonner.

[Death In June]

How about some Blair? Dude's been snubbed the last few weeks.

[blkroadrunners]

And 1 Manu

[DPG21920]

It is because Blair has played very poorly lately.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuu and one!!!

[Chieflion]

That's why Manu is the best.

[DPG21920]

Spurs are 1-4 at the FT line. That will need to pick up obviously

[Fundamental]

MANU!!! despite 44 minutes last night, he's still on fire

[DPG21920]

I want to see some Serge Ibaka. Crazy shot blocker.

[anonoftheinternets]

spurs looking good out there, they need to find a way to win this game quick before their legs give out.

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN FTs

[DPG21920]

Damn, these FT's are going to kill them.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!

Spurs up 1

[Chieflion]

Fuck the Centerpiece.

[alchemist]

it's clear that it's going to be a tightly called game.

[dbestpro]

Pop should put Ian in on Ibaka and give TD some early blow.

[Ice009]

Get bogans off. For fucks sake pop.

Malik hairston you idiot.

[Chomag]

Fucking Bogans...

[TJastal]

Bogans and Bonner kicking ass so far

[anonoftheinternets]

omg i HATE BOGANS.

[superjames1992]

Good to see the Centerpiece trying to get Durant going.

Manu, once again, looks glorious.

[DPG21920]

Bogans in Alice in Wonderland: The Mad Fouler

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

centerpiece you fucking piece of shit

[FeZZy]

what up playas

[Death In June]

Manu's playing out of his mind right now. It's awesome to watch. Meanwhile, our center piece fouls KD immediately on a 3 pt shot.

[Doe]

Fucking Bogans

[jimo2305]

ahhh for christ sake shoot me now..

here's my dilemma..

i have nba broadband league pass but i cant' watch spurs games because im here in san antonio..

these spurs games are not televeised locally neither because FSN southwest bought over rights to broadcast spurs games on their channel..

so now my feed off atdhe.net is showing the game being broadcast with commentary by biased homers from oklahoma.. and they're pissing me the hell off!!! :bang:bang:bang:bang:bang

[FeZZy]

anybody watching it in spanish like me?

[phxspurfan]

OKC takes the lead! :depressed

[timtonymanu]

Bogans I officially fucking hate you.


And can these guys hit their FT's?

[Chomag]

Manu, and tim looking good. Bonner and Bogans looking worthless.

[alchemist]

that was a bs call on Bogans, looks like he did that Battier hand to face bullshit and got a bs call.

[Chieflion]

anybody watching it in spanish like me?

LOL ya.

[anonoftheinternets]

ahhh for christ sake shoot me now..
so now my feed off atdhe.net is showing the game being broadcast with commentary by biased homers from oklahoma.. and they're pissing me the hell off!!! :bang:bang:bang:bang:bang

if it makes u feel better, league pass has the same biased OKC commentators as well... and ur right...they suck...

[timtonymanu]

Manu and Tim the only ones showing up again. And they should be resting.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

Let's not forget, people, that we don't have Tony Parker. Normally he carries the team's creator role for 3 quarters, then Manu takes over in the 4th. It makes it tough for the Spurs when they only really have one creator.

I just hope the Spurs can hang in there and make it into the playoffs, because I think they might surprise some people. Even if they slide into the 8th spot, they have a puncher's chance against the Lakers. And there could always be an injury, you just never know.

[jimo2305]

if it makes u feel better, league pass has the same biased OKC commentators as well... and ur right...they suck...

lol i just wanna see my spurs without having to shell 60 bucks for cable

is that too much to ask? :depressed

[DPG21920]

Spurs shooting 70% and down. OKC with 7 more points from the line.

[FlAVaK]

LOL ya.
There is a second one in english now...

[DPG21920]

OKC on pace for 40 FT's.

[dbestpro]

Manu is going to wear out driving so much.

[Ice009]

I have had enough of this shit.

WHY IS ROGER MASON ON THE COURT.

THIS COACH IS A FUCKING IDIOT.

[austN Spur]

bogans came through with two 3 big threes in two different games online with 2k10 today.

go spurs go

[Death In June]

Nice pass Bonner, dipshit. Way to get dunked on, also.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

I'm watching in beautiful hi def on Fox Sports Southwest.

"Ibaka looked more like Chewbacca right there." .. Sean

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck Bonner

[FeZZy]

Haha ibaka is retarded

[Ice009]

bONNER BOGANS MASON.

FUCKING PRICK POP.

[DPG21920]

This line up sucks and the Spurs are getting beat on all the hustle plays. Bad bounces everywhere.

[Chomag]

Bonner looking weak on D....

[itzsoweezee]

lol, boner

[dbestpro]

TD and Bonner looks like clowns early.

[Chieflion]

I still hate Bogans.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

ahahahahaahhahahaa nice rebounding spurs

[Death In June]

This lineup is incredibly gay.

[DPG21920]

Spurs going cold and OKC heating up.

[FeZZy]

lmao bogans wow

[dbestpro]

The centerpiece does it again.

[Ice009]

How do you get blocked on a three.

Fucking loser bogans.

Fucking loser coach pop.

[timtonymanu]

god can some of these so called professionals play with some balls? Jesus Christ.

[benefactor]

This is almost unwatchable.

[Johnny RIngo]

Bonner's in and we can't protect the paint or rebound worth a damn. Thanks Pop.

[jimo2305]

I'm watching in beautiful hi def on Fox Sports Southwest.

"Ibaka looked more like Chewbacca right there." .. Sean

*sighhhhh...

im gonna miss that commentary

the idiots im listening to sound like robots

[dbestpro]

I just keep hoping that Pop will try something different. There is no wat TD should be getting beat up by Ibaka. Ian should be on the floor.

[FeZZy]

free throws finally

[FeZZy]

can someone please at least put a hand on durants face?

[Johnny RIngo]

Bogans, Bonner, and Mason all in at the same time...fucking pathetic lineup. Only down 6 and Pop is already calling it a night.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bogans in full sucks mode

[DPG21920]

This is going to be bad. This is a terrible lineup.

[dbestpro]

Bogans is an offensive juggernaut.

[DPG21920]

Gimme those missed free throws girl.

[FeZZy]

dude the spanish broadcaster are dissing the spurs bad right now saying bonner plays no defense and pretty much that bogans sucks which is true

[alchemist]

lol FT shooting
lol Timmy allowing some punk ass kid to push him around

[Chieflion]

I make a higher percentage from the FT line than the Spurs.

[Ice009]

what kind of shot was that from Bogans a minute ago.

Fucking weak soft piece of shit.

[HarlemHeat37]

I just keep hoping that Pop will try something different. There is no wat TD should be getting beat up by Ibaka. Ian should be on the floor.

Huh? Ibaka hasn't done anything against Duncan, his only action has been against Bonner..

[Allanon]

Not a good start.

[jimo2305]

blair with the tip in..

who said blair's been playin bad again?

[FeZZy]

why is bonner out there in the 3pt line on defense and then he bricks a three

[DPG21920]

Blair going beast on OKC. Not a bad start all things considered for the Spurs. I will take it. If they can just close this quarter out nicely then they will be in good shape.

[Chieflion]

blair with the tip in..

who said blair's been playin bad again?

One play doesn't change sucking for a month and a half.

[CFH]

I'm not liking this lineup at all and the free throw shooting is terrible.

[FeZZy]

haha dude even the commercials are in spanish YES!

[timtonymanu]

blair with the tip in..

who said blair's been playin bad again?

uh he has been playing horrible lately.

[benefactor]

I'm feeling a blowout.

[ElNono]

Nobody can create their own shot with this lineup, and at least 3 of them are terrible executing anything... ugh

[tothrowed]

when mason bogans and bonner are on the floor at the same time its a bad look 4 the spurs atleast blair is beastin we need more of that

[anonoftheinternets]

man i cant watch bogans play anymore. I really cant, someone please pm pop and get anyone else in.

[Spurs Brazil]

Rotations are SLOW

[TJastal]

If that 1st shot is any indication of things to come, Bonner is on his way to a 1-8 type night

[dbestpro]

Huh? Ibaka hasn't done anything against Duncan, his only action has been against Bonner..

Watch come the fourth quarter. You don't leave a guy like TD on a back to back on the floor against a hack like Ibaka who will lean and shove and wear Timmy down. Ian at least gives us some size, some useless fouls, and some effort,

[FlAVaK]

haha dude even the commercials are in spanish YES!
just try the other one...

[Ice009]

I can't watch this game when Pop is clearly putting the Spurs at a disadvantage.

How many chances is he going to give Mason Jr., Bogans and Bonner? Get them off the court and just play Hairston. Hairston might screwed up, but he has way more upside to help us. These other guys have no upside.

No wonder Brent Barry probably hates Pop. He gives pieces of shit like Bogans and Mason Jr. all the minutes they want and Brent used to get yanked for one defensive mistake.

If you're watching this game Brent pick up the TV and fucking smash it.

[Chomag]

LOL Bogans...

[FeZZy]

i dont mean to be a pessimist but everyone is worn out by yesterdays heavy minutes i say we go young right now (malik ian temple) and fuck it

[alchemist]

lol refs

[benefactor]

rofl centerpiece

[ElNono]

Bogans needs to smile less and work more...

[Spurs Brazil]

2nd on Bogans, take that shit out of the game

[Chieflion]

Bogans with another stupid foul. Now he has 2. GTFO.

[Death In June]

Bogans sucks so bad. Why is he on Durant again?

[DPG21920]

This is just a free throw contest and OKC is killing the Spurs.

[anonoftheinternets]

man cmon 5 fouls on bogans ... do it now refs ....

[dbestpro]

I know its a tough competition by Bogans tops my list of least liked Spur.

[HarlemHeat37]

Watch come the fourth quarter. You don't leave a guy like TD on a back to back on the floor against a hack like Ibaka who will lean and shove and wear Timmy down. Ian at least gives us some size, some useless fouls, and some effort,

I absolutely agree that Ian should be playing against him, I'm just saying, Ibaka should have been called for fouls there..

I've been asking for Ibaka vs. Ian since the 1st matchup for the Thunder, it would be a nice matchup..

LOL @ the Thunder announcers talking about how raw Ibaka was earlier in the season and how he's developed the little things as he's gotten more playing time..I wonder who that could have applied to for the Spurs..

[Ice009]

If Bogans smiles again I AM GOING TO FUCKING HIT HIM.

[alchemist]

lol no foul

[anonoftheinternets]

refs helping the spurs by putting bogans out of our misery

[FeZZy]

just try the other one...

nah man i speak spanish is all good :lol I just think it's sick

[DPG21920]

Where is the and 1?

[Spurs Brazil]

Bogans on Durant is a JOKE

[Chomag]

Durant shitting on our interior D HAHAHAHA

[jimo2305]

what if spurs had a player that could dunk like that O.o...

[benefactor]

lol no shot blockers

[itzsoweezee]

lol @ popovich's rotations.

the definition of senile.

[Death In June]

Where was the fucking foul?

[icem]

durant is pretty good

[DPG21920]

So they scored Bonner's shot a two?

[TJastal]

Durant dunks and Bonner just stands and watches

[ElNono]

Mason... <brick>

[Ice009]

Look at that defense from Bogans. He just gave up.

Pop you idiot take him out. I want a piece of Bogans.

[FeZZy]

rmj sucks..DICK!

[Chomag]

31 points allready....

[timtonymanu]

Mason, Bogans GTFO. I hate you both.

[benefactor]

The rim is there all day for OKC.

[TJastal]

Even Collison is punking the spurs' interior defense. Pathetic.

[dbestpro]

Blair is just too short.

[DPG21920]

15 FT's for OKC in the first quarter.

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK Mason, bad shot, worst D

TAKE THAT SHIT OUT

FUCK MASON

[Chieflion]

Defense. What is that? You mean fouling?

[jimo2305]

nick collison reminds me of forrest griffin O.o

[itzsoweezee]

by the way, pop sucks

[Death In June]

So, no Ian or Malik? Let's just wear out Tim and Manu, you know, role players. As long as the fucking centerpiece is okay.

[dbestpro]

Maybe Ian know?

[FeZZy]

ah fuck oh well hey tothrowed i thought you were leaving ST? bonner blocked again ahahaha

[itzsoweezee]

boner oh boner, you are the worst

[benefactor]

Seriously Pop? How long are you going to let this go on?

[DPG21920]

It's a block party!

[jimo2305]

we look like the golden state warriors right now..

[alchemist]

lol shitty Manu coming out to play
lol Pop getting blocked on all those 3's :lmao

[Chomag]

A pass right over Bonners head This is so painfull to watch!!!!

[Chieflion]

Pathetic performance.

[Spurs Brazil]

This is worst than I thought it would be

[DPG21920]

60% FG's and 15 FT's for OKC!

[FeZZy]

block......again hahaha

[Ice009]

Coach Pop is putting us at a huge disadvantage.

[austN Spur]

hopefully Spurs can get some stops in this
2nd quarter.

4 Quarters!!

[ElNono]

Manu gets blocked... who is he going to pass to?

[benefactor]

lol Durant on a 60pt pace.

[benefactor]

Manu gets blocked... who is he going to pass to?
:lol

[phxspurfan]

f Paul Pierce...Durant is the truth

[robot89]

mason 6 mins no points
bogans 6 mins no points
fuck the both!!!!!!!!!!
pop play hairston !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TJastal]

Did I not call this? Pop is playing double doses of centerpiece and Bonner to counter the athleticism of the thunder... he is truly a genius.

[CFH]

This is hard to watch, hope they don't let the lead get too big or it's game over.

[ElNono]

Really... it's Ginobili and the planet of the zombies around him

[itzsoweezee]

lol @ eight minutes of absolute patheticness from the plus/minus king

all hail t-rex arms

[jimo2305]

ok i think my feed just got possessed? O.o

[benefactor]

The Spurs just need to let Manu leave. He doesn't deserve this.

[austN Spur]

I remember watching Durant here against OK State
thinking " man this kid is going to be good."

[ElNono]

This is hard to watch, hope they don't let the lead get too big or it's game over.

How are we going to mount a comeback? Nobody can hit a shot and TD and MG will be done by the 3rd...

[anonoftheinternets]

man i cant stand the centerpiece ... put anyone in instead.

[easy7]

They need to get the centershit piece out of there, he has already given the Thunder 9 easy points.

[dbestpro]

The Spurs would be better right team right now simply by cutting Bogans and RMJ. Addition by subtraction.

[Ice009]

Manu and Tim should just walk out.

Just get up and tell Pop to go fuck himself and leave.

Pop can fucking suit up and go play with his lovers Bogans, Bonner and Mason Jr.

[nbaman99]

Who said to bring Parker off the bench, in this site? r u kidding me?

[ElNono]

And Mason is *still* out there... :pctoss

[anonoftheinternets]

lol they took a point off teh board ..

[jimo2305]

looksl ike i have to watch the spanish version..

someone let me know when the other feed gets fixed.. it's showing some lame computer slideshow now while the sound from the game is still on

[ElNono]

looksl ike i have to watch the spanish version..

someone let me know when the other feed gets fixed.. it's showing some lame computer slideshow now while the sound from the game is still on

It's not the feed... we're getting shitted on.

[alchemist]

lol Pop not getting that rebound

[timtonymanu]

The Spurs just need to let Manu leave. He doesn't deserve this.

I agree. And it's not being a bad fan saying this. Manu needs to be on a winning team.

[easy7]

Chewcaca is going off now?

[phxspurfan]

The OKC announcers hate for Manu is palpable

[Chieflion]

Look what Ibaka brings to the Thunder.

[Spurs Brazil]

The Beast!!!!

[FeZZy]

blair!

[DPG21920]

:wow Blair

[austN Spur]

Blair!!

[Chomag]

Pop is going to sit Blair fo rthat one. And yell at him for showboating lol

[Refocus]

Dejuan aww yeah!

[easy7]

Blair!!

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL, did you guys see Bonner's attempt at a double team on Green? LOL..

[phxspurfan]

flop that biotch!

[itzsoweezee]

dejuan is a bad man

[alchemist]

bullshit calls man, bonner just blocking out

[ElNono]

LOL, Bonner not only can't get a board, he gets called for a foul

[TD 21]

This coach is a joke. Nothing we've seen in this game yet hasn't been predictable, so where the fuck are Hairston and Mahinmi? Get some fresh legs, athleticism and people who are eager to play into this game and hopefully in the process at least slow down the dunk-a-thon that is going on. Teams flat out don't take this team seriously, they attack the rim at will, get virtually any shot they want, etc. What a mess. Bonner isn't shooting well enough to justify his extended run.

[Ice009]

Seriously as a Spurs and Manu fan I would probably tell him that he should seriously consider not coming back to the Spurs.

[DPG21920]

Just claw your way back boys

[jimo2305]

btw.. i can tell this forum loves bogans :D

[phxspurfan]

OKC getting some serious home cookin by the refs

[FeZZy]

dude fuck this game ginobili against the world!

[TJastal]

bullshit calls man, bonner just blocking out

That's the rub with Bonner, as if his defense wasn't weak enough, the refs always screw him over on top of that

[ElNono]

lmao refs

[Death In June]

What the fuck is with all these calls.

[jimo2305]

It's not the feed... we're getting shitted on.

lmao..

it can't beeeee!!

[DPG21920]

late call...

[Spurs Brazil]

Thunder will have 100FTs in this game

[dbestpro]

Are these refs out of the replacement league?

[alchemist]

lol everything being a foul, don't sneeze fellas

[DAF86]

The OKC announcers hate for Manu is palpable

Why what did they say?

[timtonymanu]

my god i bet posters in here can shoot better than the Spurs scrubs.

[ElNono]

Did Bonner break his hand again?

[FeZZy]

its still only 7 i dont get it..

[Ice009]

Who said to bring Parker off the bench, in this site? r u kidding me?

That seems like the worst idea ever right now.

Anyway I am going to dub 'The Comment' by Pop. Remember when Pop told Mason Jr. the percentages are with you against Cleveland? What is Mason Jr. shooting since then?

10%?

[austN Spur]

Need some defense

[TJastal]

wow that was a really bad call.. I wish we had Tyrus Thomas to knock Green's pansy ass into the hardwood and send a message

[alchemist]

another bs call. Fuck!

[DPG21920]

So many whistles. Just giving OKC so many FT's.

[Dex]

These fucking foul calls are ridiculous.

[Death In June]

Oh...my...fuck. More bullshit calls.

[Spurs Brazil]

Another call

FUCK those refs

[easy7]

Chewcaca is a bad mofo...

[blkroadrunners]

Damn, Ibaka's very active.

[FeZZy]

yay for sucking

[DPG21920]

OKC is going to shoot 40+ free throws tonight.

[austN Spur]

That seems like the worst idea ever right now.

Anyway I am going to dub 'The Comment' by Pop. Remember when Pop told Mason Jr. the percentages are with you against Cleveland? What is Mason Jr. shooting since then?

10%?

:lol

[Dex]

OKC is going to shoot 40+ free throws tonight.

They're already almost halfway there.

[dbestpro]

Damn Blair would be so much more effective with another legit big on the floor. Bonner jusy sitting out on the perimeter playing like a SF.
