Game Blog :: Spurs vs. Nets :: March 29

[TD 21]

I realize he's in primarily to guard Lee, but Hairston has to offer something out there, he can't just be a bystander on offense. I have no clue why Mason isn't playing significant minutes in this game, other than it makes too much sense. This team needs offense/ball handling/3 point shooting and he played well in his first rotation, yet he's played under nine minutes.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

c'mon spurs, are you trying to give the NEts win no. 10 of the year?

spurs is trying...trying hard...

[austN Spur]

man i need one of those los spurs jerseys

[dbestpro]

Bonner is our best outside shooter ledt and he is not even looking for his shot.

[austN Spur]

i thought they said mason was hurt

[FeZZy]

tip in by blair

[blkroadrunners]

Come on Blair.

[FeZZy]

hill J

[Spurs Brazil]

Lee is killing us

[Libri]

Blair with a stupid foul.

[dbestpro]

If Blair ever plays with his brain he would be dangerous.

[raspsa]

Idiot foul Blair!

[murpjf88]

Blair is a foul machine.

[DPG21920]

Great pass by RJ.

[austN Spur]

blair sometimes racks up fouls like he does rebounds. damm where was the fould on that hill shot.
BIG dunk blair

[TD 21]

Mason done for the tonight, strained pinkie muscle? Is this guy fucking joking? Man-up. He wants playing time, the team desperately needs him and he's going to sit with that? Unbelievable. Loss up coming, unless Hill and Jefferson can play the entire second half without wearing down.

Spurs determined to make Lee look like an All-Star.

[FeZZy]

BLAIR JAM! yes

[ffadicted]

RJ trying to be manu tonight :)

[Libri]

That was a fantastic pass by RJ to Blair.

[ThePop]

mason out for the game apparently

[AnthonyM]

We have no consistent offense on the floor right now.

[murpjf88]

Nets can't complain with the looks their getting

[austN Spur]

yeah nice take hill

[timtonymanu]

Mason done for the tonight, strained pinkie muscle? Is this guy fucking joking? Man-up. He wants playing time, the team desperately needs him and he's going to sit with that? Unbelievable. Loss up coming, unless Hill and Jefferson can play the entire second half without wearing down.

Spurs determined to make Lee look like an All-Star.

Get a life. Mason's sitting cause he's hurt. Quit bitching.

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair should never dribble

[FeZZy]

lopez always looks pissed

[45 bank shot]

i thought they said mason was hurt

ye sprained pinky-knuckle

[TD 21]

Blair needs to cut out his weak attempts at executing a crossover, he doesn't have the handle for it and the Spurs can't afford to throw away possessions.

2:55 to go in the 3rd, if Pop's smart he get's Jefferson a blow now, so that he can start the 4th and carry the offense while Hill get's a brief breather.

[CFH]

Yup, looks like the Nets are definitely gonna be in this one in the 4th, eh...

[austN Spur]

Mason done for the tonight, strained pinkie muscle? Is this guy fucking joking? Man-up. He wants playing time.
:lol:lol

[dbestpro]

Damn, Manu, Parker, Duncan, all three missing.

[poop]

god my farts smell like rotting meat right now.

[Libri]

lopez always looks pissed

Like Kendrick Perkins?

[dbestpro]

The wrapped up Mason's hand like it was broke.

[austN Spur]

god my farts smell like rotting meat right now.

yeah i woke up friday night to that smell:lol

cmon spurs here we go

[FeZZy]

come on guys

[FeZZy]

Like Kendrick Perkins?
yesssssss

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Fuck Mason, he's been TERRIBLE.

His injury probably helps this team more than hurts it.

[austN Spur]

cmon jefferson u can out jump that fool.

[dbestpro]

RJ gets no respect this year.

[CubanMustGo]

Spurs FB: Roger Mason Jr has a sprained right fifth MP joint. He will not return to tonight's game.

[FeZZy]

dice can never make a j

[blkroadrunners]

Nice putback Blair.

[FeZZy]

fuck whatever

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck

Spurs up 4 after the 3rd

[45 bank shot]

typical spurs quarter, giving up a buzzer beater at the end

[austN Spur]

mcdyss and blair were gangsta on the boards to close that quarter.
4th quarter and my wife wants me to make dinner she hungry and sick.F that

[CFH]

Saw that one coming, only up by 4 going into the 4th, please get a huge lead right away.

[Spurs Brazil]

Antonio McDyess is DONE

[TampaDude]

Spurs will win by 12-14 points...book it.

[TIMMYD!]

dice can never make a j

Is there a site where it tracks that kind of stuff?

[Sisk]

so mason has the same injury TP had, or a sprain on the same bone at least?

[TampaDude]

The Hornets are up 50-42 over the Fakers at the half.

[poop]

NEED MORE CENTERPiECE!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Antonio McDyess is DONE

+1. He's having his usual bad game where he does nothing.

[benefactor]

This team has yet to even glance at the gas pedal. They are just going through the motions.

[dbestpro]

For the fourth quarter, please let Timmy play without hesitation, please let Bonner shoot the open 3, please let Dice hit an open shot, please let RJ get some respect, and please let Blair play with some smarts.

[austN Spur]

man we cant blow this game after last nights. lets go spurs

[Sisk]

i knew the nets would show up against us.............

[TampaDude]

This team has yet to even glance at the gas pedal. They are just going through the motions.

+1 It's like they're playing just hard enough to stay ahead of the Nets, and are waiting for the last 5 minutes to put them away.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Antonio McDyess is DONE

that sucks, the spurs already have no big man...

[raspsa]

The Nets can smell that 10th win..

[austN Spur]

nice hustle mcdyss

[FeZZy]

easy win

[dbestpro]

These d leaguer Spurs need to make a shot.

[TIMMYD!]

Even if we win, this will still feel like a loss.

[ManuTastic]

mcdyss and blair were gangsta on the boards to close that quarter.
4th quarter and my wife wants me to make dinner she hungry and sick.F that

Wow, this raising the bar thing is really taking off. :p:

[TampaDude]

What the fuck was that, ref$???

[TIMMYD!]

Tie game.

Son of a bitch!

[blkroadrunners]

Tie game.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol...is this really happening...spurs and nets are tied in the 4th...really

[austN Spur]

WOW that's a heck of a shot from lopez

[Spurs Brazil]

this is getting UGLY

[ffadicted]

Jesus...

[Andy25]

Lmao Manu on the Bench looks pissed.

[TD 21]

Poor coaching doing the Spurs in again. He pulls Hill and Jefferson at once and goes with zero scoring threats on the perimeter. Unbelievable. Was it that hard to get Jefferson out with 2:55 to go in the 3rd, return him to start the 4th, then sit Hill for about 2 minutes?

[austN Spur]

Hairston

[ManuTastic]

Even if we win, this will still feel like a loss.

I know. I keep having the haunting feeling that if I were, say, Leo DiCaprio I'd be doing something more interesting than watching this dog of a game tonight.

[FeZZy]

if we lose I am killing "poop"

[dbestpro]

Hairston couldn't miss forever.

[poop]

come on, we all knew this was going to happen.

[austN Spur]

Wow, this raising the bar thing is really taking off. :p:
she's not really sick. she's a wimp

[carina_gino20]

ugh...we can't even put away the Nets.

[FeZZy]

this sucks

[easy7]

It is amazing how any scrub can go past Bogans and score.

[poop]

if we lose I am killing "poop"

why do i get the blame:wow

[Thomas82]

this sucks

+1

[AnthonyM]

Lol, why is everyone so surprised that it's this close? As soon as word of Manu sitting out of the game came out, it was pretty obvious that the Spurs weren't going to blow the nets out.

It's more surprising that people thought this game would be a stomping than the Spurs are losing to the Nets in the 4th quarter.

[Brazil]

lol at all the fans here saying even w/o Manu we're gonna win easy !

[FeZZy]

damn rj had a boss career with the nets

[Johnny RIngo]

Antonio McDyess is DONE

It was pretty obvious somewhere around January. I'm still annoyed that the front office didn't make a move for another big. Duncan's in a bad way right now and he really needs help in the frontcourt.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Malik!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[austN Spur]

dang my brother has to take a picture of the banner outside my moms house. Its huge

Yeah malik awesome play

[FeZZy]

MALIK give me some THC

[Brazil]

tie game

[easy7]

Shitterpiece is just taking up space..someone needs to wake him up.

[Thomas82]

tie game

that sucks

[TampaDude]

Time to put these 9-win fuckers away!!!

[Brazil]

that sucks

+1

[Spurs Brazil]

Bogans missed ALL rotations so far

And please, sit Dice, he's our worst big by far

[poop]

i cant watch. they are all going to laugh at us

[FeZZy]

hill time

[Johnny RIngo]

Bogans -8
Dice -6

A combined 40 mins and all we get is 1 point from them.

[austN Spur]

O george HILL

[austN Spur]

matt bizzle 333

[FeZZy]

Bonner time!

[TampaDude]

Red Rocket!!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Nice Bonner!

[angelbelow]

smooth move by hill

[Chieflion]

We really needed that Bonner 3!

[Andy25]

Bonner is a beast now.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

[45 bank shot]

nice to see hairston making plays

[dbestpro]

That is what I've been waiting for!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

that was one timely three by matt

[angelbelow]

nice bonner

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck, Tim is actually going to have to play longer against the Nets than the Celtics.

[FeZZy]

go get red rocket

[CFH]

Thanks Bonner, now play defense and build the lead.

[blkroadrunners]

Good shot Bon Bon

[TD 21]

It's incredible how badly McDyess is playing and in virtually all aspects of the game. He's got no IQ. Forcing passes that aren't there, fumbling passes he receives, can't finish around the rim, can't made wide open mid range jumpers, he's just playing awful.

[FeZZy]

MATHEW MOTHERFUCKING BONNER! yes

[Budkin]

We just can't lose to the Nets... it's a badge of shame this season and we already have enough of those.

[austN Spur]

Here we go. I want some defense

[Brazil]

You know what I'm becoming a Matt Bonner fan, the guy is trying, develops new moves, making effort to rebound, hustles... he is humble never complain and he is doing his best. Go Matt !

[dbestpro]

Timmy he full of brain gas.

[FeZZy]

come on dawg

[austN Spur]

dangit damm

[murpjf88]

Tim STOP shooting

[Spurs Brazil]

TD must help. We need him now

[Johnny RIngo]

You know what I'm becoming a Matt Bonner fan, the guy is trying, develops new moves, making effort to rebound, hustles... he is humble never complain and he is doing his best. Go Matt !

I'd like Bonner a lot more if he showed up against the good teams.

[easy7]

Spurs sure do rise up to the level of their competition.

[dbestpro]

Timmy right now is playing as bad as I have ever seen him. It's like he caught RJs early season disease.

[austN Spur]

cmon spurs

[TIMMYD!]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

...

[TD 21]

This is just disgusting, hoping to hang on against the historically bad Nets. One guy who can handle, two who can score. Duncan needs to step the fuck up and lead this team. It's all on Hill right now, like he's the franchise.

[FeZZy]

why is bonner shooting nets lead....

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Where is RJ?

[Sisk]

WTF was that?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Now he's in, and way way way too much Bogans, as always

[boutons_deux]

Up 5, then 4 straight possession without scoring

[Johnny RIngo]

If Spurs lose this one, it's all on Duncan. With Ginobili out he has to lead the team.

[Spurs Brazil]

We're about to throw the Ws against the Cs and the Cavs out of the window

[Warlord23]

Hello 8th seed

[CFH]

Someone step up...

[ffadicted]

Ok, if we lose this game I officially give up on 50 wins lmao

[austN Spur]

yeah timmy

[FeZZy]

fuck is this truly happening

[Libri]

finally, Tim

[dbestpro]

RJ needs to take over this game. Bonner needs to keep his ass out at the 3 line, Duncan needs to grow a pair.

[TampaDude]

Thank you, Timmy!!!

[Xylus]

The TWolves did this to the Suns last night, gave them a fight they didn't expect. Suns took them for granted, built a 25-point lead, and then lost it all in 2nd half.

These bottom-feeders get feisty at the end of the season.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

come on lets gooo spurs!!!!!!!!!!

[FeZZy]

get bonner the fuck out of there

[austN Spur]

SMH wow that hurts

[Crookshanks]

They blow out the Celtics, but can't maintain a lead against the worst team in the NBA? What is wrong with this picture?

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs are DEAD, what a pathetic game

[Chieflion]

We are gonna lose this game. KROFTLOL Spurs.

[timtonymanu]

We're about to throw the Ws against the Cs and the Cavs out of the window

Story of the season.

[45 bank shot]

i think we might acutally give the nets win #10

[DPG21920]

Manu should have played.

[FeZZy]

where is rj is like they paid pop to lose

[Thomas82]

Man, what a letdown!!

[Libri]

We just can't lose to the Nets... it's a badge of shame this season and we already have enough of those.

badge of shame :lol

[poop]

deep down we all knew this was going to happen.

[raspsa]

Nets smell blood.. they seem to want this win a lot more than the Spurs..

[Mal]

so now C`s and Cavs wins means nothing ?

[45 bank shot]

Manu should have played.

+1
Hill can't pass

[dbestpro]

It is amazing how stupid guys can play thinking they can turn in on at any moment until they run out of time.

[Brazil]

I'd like Bonner a lot more if he showed up against the good teams.

I agree he is not the most talented guy and a choker but he is putting a lot of dedication works hard... he is nice to have for 20 mn off the bench

[TD 21]

I knew this was a loss when Mason went out and Pop handled the rotation poorly as far as when to rest Hill/Jefferson.

When your starting bigs look this poor every game and you're this thin in terms of ball handlers/creators it's tough to win.

[qiuyizeng]

no manu, can't beat nets,fuck spurs!

[DPG21920]

Pop should have known that this win was too important. Could have started Manu then just managed his minutes. Spurs can still easily win, but that is not the point. Spurs need wins and can't afford to be cute.

[TampaDude]

Don't worry...the Spurs will make a run here and put the Nets away.

[Brazil]

+1
Hill can't pass

Hill is a pure SG

[FeZZy]

i will seriously murder a baby

[Johnny RIngo]

Our team is so fucking gimpy. Parker with a fracture on his hand, Duncan breaking down after the ASB, Manu with back spasms. It's been so annoying watching this team struggle to stay healthy all year long.

[austN Spur]

here we go spurs. go to get this one

[nbaman99]

We dont need Manu to beat this team.Sad to say it Duncan sucks right now

[Crookshanks]

There's just no effort, very little hustle, and lots of missed shots and turnovers. Put it together and it's a disaster in the making.

[the crimson blur]

We are going to lose this aren't we.

Omfg

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Unfucking believable

[dbestpro]

Why is RJ not touching the ball on offense.

[Mal]

oh men

[Death In June]

lol bonner.

[FeZZy]

tim seriously?

[austN Spur]

bonner got stuck in the middle

[Brazil]

lol I jinxed Matt

[Crookshanks]

Timmy looks mad and disgusted - but he has only himself to blame.

[FeZZy]

fuck

[TD 21]

This team is a fucking joke. Running around embarrassing themselves, hoping Hill, like he's fucking Bryant or Wade or somebody, can create/finish every single possession for them.

[Bartleby]

This game has SpursTalk meltdown written all over it.

[TIMMYD!]

Ah, fuck!

We lost.

[FeZZy]

bonner 3 what the fuck!

[Mal]

wow

[dbestpro]

Duncan looks like the new Dice.

[CFH]

This is looking like a loss

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol....spurs giving the nets the 10th win of the season lol lol lol lol...

[Spurs Brazil]

Everybody scored on Malik today, pathetic game

[Death In June]

You fucking suck, bonner. Second best big man, my balls.

[FeZZy]

let's see some D!

[Brazil]

I'm sure that if Pop wanted to unleash Ian, he will help this team. Tim isn't playing good right now we need a big fresh body

[austN Spur]

cmon cmon cmon cmon cmon

[Thomas82]

I guess it's a rap!!

[ShoogarBear]

Bonner back to being non-clutch.

[Cherry]

unbelievable

[DPG21920]

Lopez shitting on the Spurs.

[Mal]

Bonner as gtg ?

[Crookshanks]

Come on Spurs - time to quick screwing around and put this game away. Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap...

[dbestpro]

hairston needs to shoot that open 3 if he is going to be an nba player.

[Libri]

Lopez wide open.

Pathetic Spurs

[Creation88]

this is hilarious

[boutons_deux]

very simple, Nets can't miss, Spurs can't score, game over.

[mexicanjunior]

This game has SpursTalk meltdown written all over it.

Most realists could see the writing on the wall when Manu went down. Only the "believe" sunshine club thought we would win by double digits....

[Texas_Ranger]

:madrun

pathetic

[DPG21920]

Brook: 22/12/3/1 on 50% FG and 89% FT.

[Mal]

Omg !!

[Brazil]

don't tell me ian couldn't help defending Lopez

[timtonymanu]

Spurs should just get the 8th seed. Blazers/Thunder deserve to go farther than them.

[RedRaider]

This is so embarrasing

[Crookshanks]

Lopez is killing us.

[austN Spur]

bizzle!

[Mal]

come on

[Sisk]

well, can't watch ESPN tonight.

[carina_gino20]

OMG. We're losing to the Nets. :lol

[Budkin]

Holy fucking shit we're going to lose to the worst team of the last 20 years. Unfuckingacceptable.

[VBM]

Only the "believe" sunshine club thought we would win by double digits....

:lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 333333

[picc84]

Where the hell is Dick? Didn't he score 20ppg last year on a shit team? Cause thats who's on the floor right now.

[dbestpro]

That shot has been there all night, but for some reason Bonner kept driving to the hoop.

[FeZZy]

bonner cold as ice

[Crookshanks]

I'm turning this off - this is pathetic. Spurs suck big tonight.

[CFH]

And Bonner finally hits a 3, too bad the Spurs will need another if they stop the Nets...

[austN Spur]

something tells me this might end up being sportscenter lead story if the nets win.

[Brazil]

a stop and a corner 3 for Hill ! come one do it

[TampaDude]

Spurs will win.

[qiuyizeng]

i really think manu should go anywhere!spurs is a joke!

[Crookshanks]

RJ has pretty much disappeared against his old team.

[cnyc3]

lets go one stop

[ShoogarBear]

don't tell me ian couldn't help defending Lopez

No, Ian sucks in practice and against the Nets.

[Thomas82]

Bonner 333333

too little too late

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

this is boooooooolshit, I want to bash my head against a wall:bang

[austN Spur]

:lol
OMG. We're losing to the Nets. :lol
thats what i was thingking. they'll probably do a half hour on this shit

[TIMMYD!]

The sad thing is that Tim is tired because he's the only legit big we have and there is someone young, and athletic rotting on the bench.

[anonoftheinternets]

did mcdyess even drain one jumper this game? he is honestly so useless this year.

[AnthonyM]

Spurs should just get the 8th seed. Blazers/Thunder deserve to go farther than them.

Yeah, and you also think Manu deserves to play on a better team.

Maybe you deserve a worse team to be a fan of like say the Nets?

Why do the Blazers/Thunder "deserve" to go farther?

[cnyc3]

got the stop.. lets get a 3 or a quick 2!

[Mal]

Make that three....

[dbestpro]

Yeah, this loss kind of makes the rest of the season see moot. Manu playing out of his mind with a healthy Tony cannot make up for the lack of an interior presence.
