So now trolls open game blog threads? way to raise the bar lol.

[Borosai]

Bonner goes for 23 and 9!

[Brazil]

Mason could sit with injury: The San Antonio Express-News reports Spurs guard Roger Mason Jr. (http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasybasketball/players/playerpage/307847/roger-mason-jr) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Houston after tests Tuesday confirmed he has a sprained pinkie finger on his right hand.

lol at the sprained pinkie finger...

doesn't seem serious

[bigdog]

According to Mason's Twitter account, he is saying that it's a torn ligament.

[marini martini]

So now trolls open game blog threads? way to raise the bar lol.

:lmao

[duncan228]

Anyone with League Pass in Southern California...

It looks like they're not going to show the Spurs game until about halftime...The Bucks/Cavs game is on the same channel, running from 4-6:30 (pst). The Spurs game is tipping at 5:30, but they're not showing it until the Cavs game ends.

I talked to my provider, they said it might be worth flipping through all the LP channels to see if they start it on time, but at this moment all the channels are booked.

I have LP Broadband, so I can watch it on line, but I watch on TV too. I've had LP forever, I don't remember them doing this before. :bang

Just a heads-up for SoCal.

[DesignatedT]

torn ligament between pinky and ring finger... roger said its been bothering him since february and hes going to continue to play through it.

[superjames1992]

I see that Manu is probable tonight.

[FeZZy]

fuck some rocket butthole

[FeZZy]

who's pumped

[superjames1992]

Hmm...

I don't see the game on the NBA LP TV Guide. WTF?

[duncan228]

WTF? LP Broadband doesn't have it here either. Listen only. :bang

[Fpoonsie]

I can't find it either, 228. And I'm in DALLAS!

Tha FUCK is going on???

[Blackjack]

Roger Mason Jr. (sprained right fifth metacarpophalangeal) is questionable.

Alright, now you're just making shit up Spurs . . . :hat

[Doe]

WTF, I only have the listen option for the game on League Pass BB. No way am I in a blackout zone. Fucking NBA...

[phxspurfan]

WTF? LP Broadband doesn't have it here either. Listen only. :bang

same...(in CA)

I want mah Spurs!

[superjames1992]

WTF, I only have the listen option for the game on League Pass BB. No way am I in a blackout zone. Fucking NBA...

I think it's the whole country. I'm in North Carolina and have the same issue.

[CFH]

Matt Bullard just said Duncan is the Spurs centerpiece, he obviously doesn't know it's Keith Bogans. :hat

[superjames1992]

Sigh, the game isn't even on channelsurfing.net.

Looks like I may miss my first Spurs game of the season tonight. :(

[DesignatedT]

wow didnt realize houston had so many injuries...

[Kai]

http://atdhe.net/16398/watch-housto...n-antonio-spurs

[DPG21920]

This is weak LP.

[CFH]

Ginobili just doing work as always.

[FeZZy]

Manu!

[FeZZy]

2 for scola 25 to go

[duncan228]

Can anyone get through to LP help chat? I'm getting closed even though it's business hours according to the screen.

[Spurs Brazil]

great pass Manu

[DesignatedT]

wow dyess nice shot...

[FeZZy]

dice sucks

[DPG21920]

Dice, are you kidding me with that shot?

[superjames1992]

http://atdhe.net/16398/watch-housto...n-antonio-spurs

Thank you! :)

[FeZZy]

scola 23 to go

[BanditHiro]

fucking spurs i can't believe they let that guy go

[CFH]

Looks like Dice is gonna have problems with Scola again.

[ManuTastic]

WTF, I only have the listen option for the game on League Pass BB. No way am I in a blackout zone. Fucking NBA...

Me too, and the fucking live support chat is "closed for the night." No shit they are. Fucking crap product.

[FeZZy]

we can't hit an outside shot!

[blkroadrunners]

Damn, 11-6 Rockets.

[Chieflion]

Why is everything going in for the Rockets?

[timtonymanu]

Brooks always gives us trouble.

[FeZZy]

RJ nice runner

[BanditHiro]

wow fucking bullshit

[DesignatedT]

lol of course rockets having career nights.

[Fpoonsie]

Why do I have an HD AND a reg feed for the Lakers-Hawks game???

[ducks]

http:///16398/watch-housto...n-antonio-spurs

edit the link IT IS AGAINST THE RULES
can not post links
kori would be in trouble not trying to act like a mod

[FeZZy]

Bank!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD bank!

[timtonymanu]

fuckin ariza couldnt make anything last night. watch him shoot lights out tonight.

[FeZZy]

hill floater

[DPG21920]

Thank goodness Bonner is in for Dice.

[phxspurfan]

....

[CFH]

TD and 1

[blkroadrunners]

Duncan should dominate this game.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and one!

[BanditHiro]

hey tim is not acting like a corpse this game

[Tp9gospursgo]

Tim playing good so far.

[FeZZy]

blacked out

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice dunk rjjj!!!

[blkroadrunners]

Good ball movement.

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ nice one!

[ManuTastic]

Anybody got another stream?

[Tp9gospursgo]

Manu already with 4 assists

[FeZZy]

fuck where's the feed

[45 bank shot]

why is this game not on league pass?

[DesignatedT]

rj lookin good.

[CFH]

Good run the Spurs got going after getting in the hole early, nice to see the guys going in the paint instead of shooting from outside.

[Bartleby]

LP is shit. I definitely won't be purchasing it next season.

[Ghjkll]

Manu with 4 assists. We are playing good so far.

[phxspurfan]

LB is shit. I definitely won't be purchasing it next season.

same

[duncan228]

My LP says it will show the game starting at 6:30 (pst). I guess everyone else with the same problem should be able to see the second half too.

I've had LP forever, I never had this happen.

[Fpoonsie]

Alright. This is gay.

How can this be the ONLY game not being shown?

We've got Clippers-Raptors, Wizards-Hornets, and Kings-Wolves on instead? Fucking seriously?

[DPG21920]

LP is shit. I definitely won't be purchasing it next season.

knee jerk. crofl at losing your mind over 1 incident.

[Bartleby]

My LP says it will show the game starting at 6:30 (pst). I guess everyone else with the same problem should be able to see the second half too.

I've had LP forever, I never had this happen.

There were some games earlier in the season that took a while for LP to broadcast. I thought they had gotten their shit together but I guess not.

It also sucks that they black out a lot of games.

[phxspurfan]

Alright. This is gay.

How can this be the ONLY game not being shown?

We've got Clippers-Raptors, Wizards-Hornets, and Kings-Wolves on instead? Fucking seriously?

I'm watching Brandon Jennings tear up the Cavs

[CFH]

Hill for 3!!!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Hill for 3!!!

[Refocus]

gh333333333333

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill 33333333333333333

[FeZZy]

not getting anything

[duncan228]

What's really pissing me off is 2 of my LP channels are blacked out because it's the Lakers and Clippers games. That's 2 channels not being used at all and I only get the second half of my game?

[BanditHiro]

Rofl Bonner

[CFH]

Bonner driving :lol

[DesignatedT]

now were playin ball!!! wow scola's shot is gross

[phxspurfan]

knee jerk. crofl at losing your mind over 1 incident.

This isn't 1 incident for me. I hate their lag every time I watch. And their lame excuse for a halftime show is just annoying.

[Chieflion]

Cheap.

[BanditHiro]

the guards really need to learn to box out

[DPG21920]

With Mason out, this is Malik's time to show something. He has not been impressive at all lately.

[Spurs Brazil]

Rockets killing us on the glass

[Doe]

Just great, I'm a paying customer and I have to resort to watching fucking illegal streams (which seems to be out at the moment). Oh well, at least I'll be doing work instead of screwing around and watching the game.

[CFH]

Wow, nice shot by Bonner.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Bonner and 1

[DesignatedT]

:lol scola

[tp2021]

Damn Matt Bonner. I liked the drive too.

Manu has 5 assists already?

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner and one!

[DPG21920]

Bonner doing much better than Dice. Nice boost. I really hope Dice can pull through, but I have seen nothing that points in that direction.

[blkroadrunners]

Brent Barry Jr. is in!

[CFH]

Bad pass by Timmy...

[BanditHiro]

a fade away 3 from well behind the line fuck you fuck you

[Spurs Brazil]

Brooks is on fire

[200 miles]

With Mason out, this is Malik's time to show something. He has not been impressive at all lately.

Who knows when he will get another chance like this?

[Tp9gospursgo]

I hate aaron brooks, man

[BanditHiro]

Bad pass by Timmy...

hopefully that meets his 1-bad pass a game quota

[DPG21920]

Is the game suppose to be available in the second half on League Pass?

Should be on as soon as the Cavs game ends.

[tp2021]

At least Tim is showing some nice touch on his shots in the paint, which he hasn't been doing recently.

[FeZZy]

about to tear some shit if i dont get this feed

[CFH]

hopefully that meets his 1-bad pass a game quota

Don't forget about Bogans. :lol

[DesignatedT]

thata boy rj. nice job.

[BanditHiro]

Woot nice to see our offense not falling apart when Ginobili is out

[DesignatedT]

nice duncan.

[CFH]

Keep hitting em Duncan. :D Nice job by Bogans, causing the TO.

[CFH]

And RJ gives it right back...

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice 1st quarter for TD

[DPG21920]

Brooks on his way to 30 points again.

[BanditHiro]

wow tons of points

[CFH]

AB finally misses, thought he'd hit that one. Spurs up 7 after one.

[blkroadrunners]

Another high scoring 1st qtr. Good none the less though.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 34-27 after one

[Tp9gospursgo]

RJ has been playing well as of late...thank God

[8FOR!3]

Fuck LP for not showing the beginning of the game. That would really suck if the fights weren't on. I taped it and I'll watch the rest of the game when the fights are over.

[200 miles]

Do you ever get the feeling that nobody wants to pass the ball to Malik?

[CFH]

I thought Mason wasn't playing tonight???

[Tp9gospursgo]

Ejole manu what a pass

[DesignatedT]

damnit manu

[Ghjkll]

Hell yeah, RMJ 3!!

[blkroadrunners]

Mason 3!

[CFH]

Mason for 3.

[duncan228]

For what it's worth, I sent LP a ticket asking why this happened. I haven't needed their customer service much over the years, but I have had some good responses from them. Have to see how they answer this.

[CFH]

T on Lowry.

[ManuTastic]

Should be on as soon as the Cavs game ends.

Where are you seeing this? I just get the audio choices.

[DPG21920]

Where are you seeing this? I just get the audio choices.

On TV. LP

[Fpoonsie]

For what it's worth, I sent LP a ticket asking why this happened. I haven't needed their customer service much over the years, but I have had some good responses from them. Have to see how they answer this.

Thanks, 228. I've never had a problem w/ LP either, but this first one sure does piss me tha FUCK off.

:king

[Flux451]

On my schedule it says 7:30 after the Cavs game.

[DesignatedT]

good effort blair.

[blkroadrunners]

That was a nasty dunk by Chase.

[Manudona]

For what it's worth, I sent LP a ticket asking why this happened. I haven't needed their customer service much over the years, but I have had some good responses from them. Have to see how they answer this.

I am pretty pissed at LP right now. Against Boston they black-out the game but it was not on TV, so I missed. Now is not even a black-out...

[DesignatedT]

ugh buddinger.

[Spurs Brazil]

Defense is very bad so far

[cnyc3]

Budinger just crammed one on Blair

[alchemist]

wow, why can't Bonner do that?

[ManuTastic]

On TV. LP

OK. I don't have the tv package, only the broadband. Thanks. Maybe it'll come on eventually...

[Chomag]

I hate midget ball.

[Chomag]

Bogans is the PF?

[CFH]

Mason for 3.

[timtonymanu]

I feel Mason getting out of his slump.

[DesignatedT]

damnit hill. wtf are you doing

[phxspurfan]

From NBALP support:

UPDATE: Our site technicians have informed us that the game will be available at 9:30 Eastern Time. We again apologize for any inconveneince this has caused.

[Tp9gospursgo]

nice job Hill

[CFH]

Hill makes up for the TO and 1.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill and one!!!

[blkroadrunners]

lol Brooks and Blair

[CFH]

Manu with the nice drive.

[DesignatedT]

manu coast to coast

[alchemist]

Why didn't the clock reset? Did Blair block the shot?

[BanditHiro]

Manu with the nice drive.

should have been an "and 1"

[Cherry]

Manu is pissed

[BanditHiro]

nice RJ

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice block rjjj!!

[CFH]

Nice block by RJ.

[cnyc3]

nice block RJ

[Refocus]

Wow, great stuff by RJ.

[timtonymanu]

RJ block!!!!

[blkroadrunners]

Good block RJ.

[Fpoonsie]

Manu is pissed

:depressed

Wish I knew why...

[duncan228]

From NBALP support:

UPDATE: Our site technicians have informed us that the game will be available at 9:30 Eastern Time. We again apologize for any inconveneince this has caused.

Thanks. My TV shows that, I think it might just be the second half because it shows it ending an hour and a half later. We'll know shortly.

[DesignatedT]

rj block!

[CFH]

should have been an "and 1"

Definitely was one when he attacked the hoop again but no call.

[Manudona]

From NBALP support:

Is that for NBA TV or it applies to Broadband too?

[DPG21920]

What a play the Cavs just ran BTW.

[Spurs Brazil]

Rockets getting a lot of calls

[blkroadrunners]

What a play the Cavs just ran BTW.

Mike Brown finally pulled out something logical, huh?!

[CFH]

Like the aggresiveness of Hill.

[Bartleby]

there is another stream until LP starts working.

[Manu-of-steel]

Ghill and mason doing a great job right now

[tp2021]

Twin Towers! :lol

[timtonymanu]

Bonner is so much better than Dice.

[ohmwrecker]

This is some ugly basketball.

[Spurs Brazil]

Rockets KILLING us on the boards

[ohmwrecker]

Bonner is so much better than Dice.

Two TOs in a row.

[blkroadrunners]

Brooks is ballin.

[Fpoonsie]

I swear to LUCIFER, if the Cavs' game goes to OT, I'm gonna smother an infant.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Budinger is killing us right now

[BanditHiro]

Two TOs in a row.

and...what has dice done? got two points from a spoon fed pass and air balled an open look not to mention he let scola own him.

[Fpoonsie]

Tha fuck???

Did anybody else's just flash the SA game and then switch to the G'night screen???

[DesignatedT]

fuckin a. come on guys

[duncan228]

Tha fuck???

Did anybody else's just flash the SA game and then switch to the G'night screen???

Yup. And now it's the schedule screen.

[ohmwrecker]

and...what has dice done? got two points from a spoon fed pass and air balled an open look not to mention he let scola own him.

So, I guess the more accurate statement would be, Scola is so much better than McDyess?

[Spurs Brazil]

TD Dunk

[duncan228]

Yay! Better some than none.

[phxspurfan]

the feed is on the cle-mil channel :lol

[Fpoonsie]

Yup. And now it's the schedule screen.

This. is. retarded.

[DPG21920]

Brooks is murking the Spurs.

[Fpoonsie]

Fiiiiiinally.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD again!!!

[blkroadrunners]

Nice drive by Manu.

[DPG21920]

Gino kind of disappeared for a little while, but these hits he is taking make me nervous.

[duncan228]

TV is on but still only have 'Listen' on Broadband. Not complaining, I'm glad I get to see half of it.

[DesignatedT]

way to high scoring.

[Lars]

Spurs/Rockets 123 point at half, my how times have changed.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 5 at the half

[timtonymanu]

Duncan looks great tonight.

And some people question his heart.

[phxspurfan]

TV is on but still only have 'Listen' on Broadband. Not complaining, I'm glad I get to see half of it.

Yeah it was on the cle-mil channel for awhile but now that channel signed off so i got nothing.

[DesignatedT]

duncan with 17pts 7rebs on 8/10 shooting. nice to see timmy get out of that little slump he was in.

[siraulo23]

the fuck is wrong with brooks

and duncan is beasting~

[blkroadrunners]

the feed is on the cle-mil channel :lol


This. is. retarded.


TV is on but still only have 'Listen' on Broadband. Not complaining, I'm glad I get to see half of it.

Demand a refund. That's what I'd do.

[phxspurfan]

Yeah it was on the cle-mil channel for awhile but now that channel signed off so i got nothing.

edit: its on now

[TIMMYD!]

Maybe the writers should have waited till after the season to write all those TD articles...

[duncan228]

Broadband just came on here.

[Fpoonsie]

Is the League pass feed suppose to be working soon?

The TV one came on after a lil prick tease...

[djohn2oo8]

the fuck is wrong with brooks



What do u mean?

[ohmwrecker]

Nice job, Timmy!

[DPG21920]

I try not evaluate Tim on any individual game health wise. I just want the Spurs to win and his minutes to be managed. I want to see him look healthy from here on out. Don't care about his numbers right now.

[cnyc3]

OKC/BOS tied at 96 5:41 left in the 4th

[duncan228]

Demand a refund. That's what I'd do.

My cable company will credit me for the missed game. It's not a lot, but it covers the principle. I couldn't watch the game I paid for.

I've had LP for years and have had very few problems. I know lots of people have had issues, I guess I've been lucky. I don't know what I'd do without it.

[DesignatedT]

lakers lost to atlanta
dallas losing to memphis

boston and okc tied at 96 with 6 minutes left.. come on boston!!

[phxspurfan]

Thank goodness it's finally working!

thisn proves God exists! And he's a SPURS fan!

[Manudona]

I think the feed for the Spurs-Rocket will work for the second half (broadband) I just tuned into the game and there is some interview to VC

[TD 21]

You know Duncan is feeling good when he dunks and he throws in a turnaround bank shot.

I know the Spurs need wins and this game is up for grabs, but too many minutes for Ginobili and to a lesser extent, Hill in the first half. They have to have enough energy down the stretch to make plays (though the Spurs might go to Duncan down the stretch with the way he's playing at the advantageous match-up he has) or this will likely be a loss.

It's a fine line, but as I keep saying, Mason needs to play more. Particularly when he's playing well. Pinky injury or not, he's the one guy available that can relieve Ginobili and Hill of some of their responsibilities right now. Bogans and Hairston can't and speaking of those two, they should never be on the court together, with the exception of end of the half defensive stands.

[timtonymanu]

Come on Celtics!!!

I doubt New York beats Portland unless Portland lays an egg.

[alchemist]

Timmy playing with more fire out there

[DesignatedT]

spurs have to win this game. i dont think manu and duncan will let this team lose in the 2nd half.

[duncan228]

Duncan looks great tonight.

And some people question his heart.

It's either a knee-jerk reaction or they haven't been paying attention for 13 years. Duncan is nothing but a winner, and he leaves everything he has on the court. If his game is off there's a reason, and it's never his heart. :)

[jestersmash]

Someone give me a summary of how ginobili is looking, I literally just tuned in.

From his stats it seems as though he hasn't been slowed down much by his back fiasco, although he seems to be harboring the role of a facilitator more than looking for his own shot at the moment (10 points but 7 assists already which is monstrous)

[DPG21920]

My cable company will credit me for the missed game. It's not a lot, but it covers the principle. I couldn't watch the game I paid for.

I've had LP for years and have had very few problems. I know lots of people have had issues, I guess I've been lucky. I don't know what I'd do without it.

People just like to complain. LP could be just fine 80 out of 82 games and people will blow up those two problems. I think more people have problems with LPBB over LP.

I have not had hardly any problems either. It is frustrating even when 1 game (like today) happens, but you have to have perspective.

[TD 21]

Thunder are going to win. Haven't checked box score/minutes of Celtics vets, but it's doubtful they have the energy or the firepower to keep pace with the Thunder down the stretch. Besides, Thunder are due to break through with a tight victory against a quality opponent.

[DPG21920]

:lol at people questioning Tim's heart. Why even get frustrated or comment on something like that?

[timtonymanu]

It's either a knee-jerk reaction or they haven't been paying attention for 13 years. Duncan is nothing but a winner, and he leaves everything he has on the court. If his game is off there's a reason, and it's never his heart. :)

i wish i knew about this site when i was a sophomore in high school because i did an informative paper on tim duncan for my english class. I could have used your help but I still got a good grade.

[ploto]

Giving up too many offensive boards...

[DesignatedT]

Boston 101
Thunder 100

2:40 remaining

[alchemist]

Giving up too many offensive boards...
yup, ball isn't bouncing their way today

[duncan228]

i wish i knew about this site when i was a sophomore in high school because i did an informative paper on tim duncan for my english class. I could have used your help but I still got a good grade.

I've had a few people contact me for resources for papers. I guess Duncan makes a good subject. Glad you did well with it. :)
