Game Blog: Magic vs. Spurs: April 2nd

[dbestpro]

The Spurs have to realize that they are going to try and foul out Timmy to make up for Howard. Someone else needs to set the pick.

[CFH]

Are the Magic immune to technical fouls or something??? They should have at least called one on them.

[Spurs Brazil]

Howard worst dominant big ever

So true.. He has no post moves

[FeZZy]

It5's the right thing to do here, but hack-a-XXX is bad for basketball and against the spirit of the game. The rules should be changed.
:tu

[itzsoweezee]

gotta say, this is one of the worst ref'd games ever. even that sixth on dwight was a bad call.

[Crookshanks]

refs are trying their best to even it out by fouling out Timmy along with Howard

[timtonymanu]

Fuck. Duncan with 5.

:wow love ya 228!

[Fermixalot]

Did that guy try to cop a feel while on TV on that weird looking chick? That was.....something.

[Crookshanks]

gotta say, this is one of the worst ref'd games ever. even that sixth on dwight was a bad call.

actually no - the replay showed it was a clear foul. Frustration showing on Howard's part

[Trimble87]

These refs are ruining the game...really...

What?! Having the two best guys on the bench all of the first hald anf then fouling one of them out is what the fans pay the big money for.

[bigdog]

Yes

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes RJ!!

[FeZZy]

NICE RJ! thanks

[Trimble87]

actually no - the replay showed it was a clear foul. Frustration showing on Howard's part

agreed. The block was clean, but he fouled him with the left arm before that.

[TIMMYD!]

Offensive on Pietrus!

Yes!

[Fermixalot]

Wow! These refs cannot call shit, but I'll take that one I guess.


Meanwhile, Antonio can't pass.

[dbestpro]

The Nelson act is coming back to haunt Orlando.

[TampaDude]

Note to Hill...don't do that again...

[Crookshanks]

milk the clock and give it to Manu = win

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice and Hill with terrible passes

[FeZZy]

dude listen to sean elliott give it to manu

[TampaDude]

We got this...

[024]

freakin mcdyess, he should have shot that ball instead of passing it.

[Trimble87]

we need Tony back and playing at 100% ASAP. Until then, NO ONE SHOULD BE HANDLING THE BALL EXCEPT FOR MANU.

[FeZZy]

the crowd is alive tonight

[TampaDude]

Manu to Timmy...BALLGAME!!! :hat

[FeZZy]

tim duncan!

[SpurAddict561]

Timmy with the nail in the coffffffin

[Spurs Brazil]

Tim Duncan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

[Fermixalot]

So are we still mourning the sad decline of Tim Duncan?

[Crookshanks]

well this little break gave Manu a little rest anyway

[Trimble87]

Tim with the hook. 108-98 Spurs with 1:22 left in the fourth.

[TampaDude]

Folks, we got this shit...GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[Crookshanks]

I'm lovin this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So much for Timmy and Manu being washed up and done - huh all you haters?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu and Tim. Who needs Tony, eh?

I really hope we re-sign Manu to play out his career with Tim (2 yrs 20mil like DRob?), and shop TP to see what we can get given that he wants to keep punishing his body year-round and he'll decline soon if he keeps doing that.

[Borosai]

Bonner in to close the game!

[FeZZy]

great gameeeeeee

[TIMMYD!]

Those journalist should be licking Tim's balls after the game.

[dbestpro]

I only have one thing to say about Tim.

Heeee's baaack!!!!

[Johnny RIngo]

Bogans - 0 mins :tu

[SpurAddict561]

oh damn

OKC & DALLAS tomorrow

wow

[SpurAddict561]

oh damn

OKC & DALLAS tomorrow

wow

[TampaDude]

LOL at RJ...

[024]

lol jefferson.

[FeZZy]

:lmao haha jefferson

[superjames1992]

Oh man, RJ...

Such a great play, then that happened.

[Fermixalot]

Did he........just.......do that?

[Trimble87]

RJ dribbles off his foot... yay.


By the way, Utah is getting dominated by LA early. 29-10

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jefferson seems to make so many elementary mistakes... :rolleyes

[dbestpro]

RJ reminds me of Charlie Brown.

[alchemist]

The officiating was ass this game, both teams got the screw job.

[Borosai]

Do tell...

[Thomas82]

I'm lovin this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So much for Timmy and Manu being washed up and done - huh all you haters?


Tim and Manu's theme song should be Hi Haters by Maino.

[Spursmania]

Manu keeps stretching his leg. I wonder if it's his groin again:bang

[FeZZy]

hack a tim haha

[Libri]

LOL at RJ...

This game had everything. :lol

[duncan228]

So are we still mourning the sad decline of Tim Duncan?

Never doubt Duncan. :)

[cnyc3]

lol RJ

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Tim gets our lead back to 10

Awesome!

[TIMMYD!]

Bogans - 0 mins :tu

Actually 5:30 but yeah, :tu.

[Spursmania]

Timmy with the line- drive ft's:lol

[007nites]

time for ginobili to extend his season high lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Instant fouling 10 down is a joke. Play the game out for fucksake. Fouling more than 6pts down is a waste of time.

[Trimble87]

good win and I took the over on vbookie. Good night so far :D.


Love the MVP chants for Tim.

[RobSM64]

MVP chants for manu?

[ffadicted]

MVP!!!! MVP!!!! MVP!!!!

Love it :)

[FeZZy]

mvp chants? wow that's a first for ginobili

[Spursmania]

How many points does Manu have now?

[Tp9gospursgo]

MVP chants for Manu

[Dex]

Manu getting MVP chants. :smokin

[Spurs Brazil]

43 for Manu

[TIMMYD!]

Some well deserved MVP chants for Manu. :tu

[urunobili]

good win and I took the over on vbookie. Good night so far :D.


Love the MVP chants for Tim.

thought the chants were for Manu...

[Thomas82]

never doubt duncan. :)

+1

[Crookshanks]

isn't fouling when you're down 10 with less than a minute to go useless?

[007nites]

how many points does manu have now?

43

[CFH]

MVP chants for Manu, love it. :D

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Wow. Manu's got 43.

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ reminds me of Charlie Brown.

:lol:lol

[SpurAddict561]

damn if they keep fouling Manu he might break 48!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Imagine if we'd acquired Salmons at the deadline to play Mason/Bogans/RJ minutes. We'd be pretty scary...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol timmy raises his eyebrows when he hears the mvp chant

[Fermixalot]

The best part about the game is that the team played like they wanted it. They gutted it out and kept pushing after the Magic would make a run. I gotta hand it them, they are clicking at the right time and hopefully they can keep it going when Tony comes back.

[TampaDude]

NBA shot...Nothing But Air... :lol

[Trimble87]

thought the chants were for Manu...

you were correct. Mis typed by me.

[Crookshanks]

total airball :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow. That game makes me think we still have something left to say this year.

[TIMMYD!]

Great win!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spursmania]

43

:toast:wow

[Libri]

This was a very entertaining game. :hungry:

[TampaDude]

isn't fouling when you're down 10 with less than a minute to go useless?

Yes...it's stupid...

[FeZZy]

i am so gay for manu ginobili (no homo) sign this guy

[Spurs Brazil]

GREAT win!!

[Crookshanks]

GREAT, great win by the Spurs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FeZZy]

many just earned another million on his contract

[Trimble87]

Lakers on Sunday boys... lets hope the team sends a message.

[FeZZy]

great win

[TampaDude]

Awesome game...and the Magic beat the Mavs last night in Dallas.

Mavs <<<<< Spurs

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The problem we face in the playoffs is the 3 teams we could face - Fakers, Jazz, Mavs - have all given us fits this year. Who would you rather face?

[Dex]

Big big win. Spurs finally showing up against the quality teams.

The Spurs, for all intents and purposes, are in the playoffs. :flag:

[alchemist]

Manu keeps stretching his leg. I wonder if it's his groin again:bang
that caught my attention, hopefully it's nothing serious.

[tothrowed]

ima say this again im proud of our fans finally our fans stand up cant wait for the playoffs lmao did yall see tims face when they were chanting mvp for manu

[timtonymanu]

Imagine we'd be on a big win streak if we came to play against the nets.

[FeZZy]

manu ginobili is the greatest basketball player to ever be born

[tdunk21]

good win....

[Crookshanks]

Wow. That game makes me think we still have something left to say this year.

:tu Hopefully this :lobt2:

[TampaDude]

Bring on the Lakers!!!

[FeZZy]

oh man playoffs here we come

[Jason R]

Manu and Tim. Who needs Tony, eh?

I really hope we re-sign Manu to play out his career with Tim (2 yrs 20mil like DRob?), and shop TP to see what we can get given that he wants to keep punishing his body year-round and he'll decline soon if he keeps doing that.

Wow really? You don't think maybe we're grinding Manu into the ground expecting him to perform like this, and maybe need to have one of our three most important players and one of our most reliable scorers around to take the load off?

[FeZZy]

manu ginobili >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> world

[clubalien]

pop not coaching = spurs win
hopefully a trend to continue. :lobt2:

no hack a kobe though:nope

[FeZZy]

i hope they arent burned for sunday too

[FeZZy]

Manu ginobili should get a max contract :lmao

[WildcardManu]

Finally beating teams that matter.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I have a feeling Bonner is going to show up in the playoffs this year, although RJ/Mason/Bogans is a worry... if we had Salmons it would be cool, but I'd be inclined to play Hairston over Bogans/Mason.

[Budkin]

The Magic are my other favorite team but the Spurs needed this win considering there is another mini gauntlet coming up before the playoffs. Great win Spurs!

[TampaDude]

Manu Ginobili = 2010 Finals MVP :D

[Crookshanks]

i hope they arent burned for sunday too

They should still be really pumped from this win - hopefully it carries over and gives them a ton of confidence against the Lakers. And - the Lakers haven't been too impressive lately. We could take them!

[Trimble87]

The problem we face in the playoffs is the 3 teams we could face - Fakers, Jazz, Mavs - have all given us fits this year. Who would you rather face?


I was just thinking this exact thing. I think our best bet is to get the 7 seed, whether it be against Dallas or Utah. We avoid the lakers in the first round which gives Tony some time to get back into the game. And I think we stand a better chance against the Lakers before the WCF.

Given the choice I would rather play Utah... The Mavs are one huge matchup problem for us, and the one thing you can count on when its Spurs Vs Mavs: SMALL BALL.

[jestersmash]

"Manu and Tim. Who needs Tony, eh?

I really hope we re-sign Manu to play out his career with Tim (2 yrs 20mil like DRob?), and shop TP to see what we can get given that he wants to keep punishing his body year-round and he'll decline soon if he keeps doing that."

Worst post of the thread. TP is an integral part of the team.

[jdev82]

matt bonner gets no props on this site. hes actually a pretty good defender

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow really? You don't think maybe we're grinding Manu into the ground expecting him to perform like this, and maybe need to have one of our three most important players and one of our most reliable scorers around to take the load off?

No, Manu has only had a heavy load for the last 15 games or so. As long as he doesn't get injured he can ride this until June.

As for Tony, if he comes back I think he has to be the 6th man. The starters are humming right now, and every time TP has come in this year he's fucked the chemistry up. And he should only come back if he's at 90%+ health - a 75% healthy TP is a liability. Whether his ego will allow him to be a role player is the question.

I love TP, but he's been a negative for the team this year.

[Crookshanks]

Agreed - we need a healthy Tony back if we're going anywhere in the playoffs. And this will be Tony's team when Timmy retires.

[Trimble87]

matt bonner gets no props on this site. hes actually a pretty good defender

'He gives good effort and for the most part makes good rotations... but people just score over him. Good effort does not always equal good defense.

[CFH]

Budenholzer for head coach. :downspin: Great win, hope the guys do the same on Sunday. :toast

[Dex]

matt bonner gets no props on this site. hes actually a pretty good defender

Matt Bonner actually had a great, great game. If he hadn't been able to fill the gap for Duncan in the first half, Spurs would've been run out of the building.

The Magic were noticeably trying to exploit Bonner's defense, but he did a good job of holding his own. He was also going bananas on the drives to the basket.

[emanueldavidginobili]

if we get tony back and hes plays well, we will be in good shape, with dice manu tim rj and tonys playoff expeirence and manu playing like he is i think we can get out of the first round!

[nbaman99]

Who needs Tony? r u stupid? we aint doing anything in playoffs without TP. We need big 3 next year and the same team if we going to win a ring again.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I was just thinking this exact thing. I think our best bet is to get the 7 seed, whether it be against Dallas or Utah. We avoid the lakers in the first round which gives Tony some time to get back into the game. And I think we stand a better chance against the Lakers before the WCF.

Given the choice I would rather play Utah... The Mavs are one huge matchup problem for us, and the one thing you can count on when its Spurs Vs Mavs: SMALL BALL.

The Jazz SWEPT us this year. They are also a matchup nightmare. Thus the conundrum.

I think I want the Fakers first round - get it over with either way.

[Capt Bringdown]

Good things mostly since Finley was shown the door...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

matt bonner gets no props on this site. hes actually a pretty good defender

Agreed.


'He gives good effort and for the most part makes good rotations... but people just score over him. Good effort does not always equal effective defense.

FIFY. ;)

[Trimble87]

The Jazz SWEPT us this year. They are also a matchup nightmare. Thus the conundrum.

I think I want the Fakers first round - get it over with either way.

I'd agree if Tony was healthy. TD has proven he cant consistently score against the length the Lakers will throw at him. And even if he does Gasol will almost cancel him out with his own offense. Tony is our biggest asset against the Lakers.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

"Manu and Tim. Who needs Tony, eh?

I really hope we re-sign Manu to play out his career with Tim (2 yrs 20mil like DRob?), and shop TP to see what we can get given that he wants to keep punishing his body year-round and he'll decline soon if he keeps doing that."

Worst post of the thread. TP is an integral part of the team.

The "Who needs Tony, eh?" was with raised eyebrows, as in surprise.


No, Manu has only had a heavy load for the last 15 games or so. As long as he doesn't get injured he can ride this until June.

Rather take my chances against Sloan and the Jazz. Phil Jackson owns Pop.

[urunobili]

I want the Mavs... or the Nugs... NOT PHX, NOT Lakeshow... Utah... meh' they peaked too early... :rolleyes

[mytespurs]

I almost came in here asking....."exactly by how many points did the Magic school us tonight." but quelle surprise-Spurs won.

I still don't like the Spurs chances in the playoffs but I'll take this win. Just take it one at a time.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Rather take my chances against Sloan and the Jazz. Phil Jackson owns Pop.

That he does.

Actually, maybe the Mavs are the best choice.

Fcuked if I know! :lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm not scared of Utah at all..they fold in the playoffs..this Spurs team is a lot different than the Spurs teams that lost to Utah earlier in the season..

1. Phoenix/Denver(if KMart is crippled)..
2. Phoenix/Denver..
3. Utah..
4. Dallas..
5. LA..

That's the order I would prefer..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

plus we have been able to go to the wire against the Jazz in all 4 games. We can beat the Jazz, the Lakers have too much size against us.

Not without Bynum they don't. And it doesn't look like Bynum is going to be back and playing effectively any time soon.

But yeah, maybe the Mavs. I have a feeling the Jazz will beat us in a 7-gamer given that they swept us this year.

[Trimble87]

However the matchups play out... The first round of the west is going to be exciting as hell.

[Ice009]

Great win Spurs!

[easy7]

When Tony comes back, bring anyone on... enough said.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

When Tony comes back, bring anyone on... enough said.

I think people are expecting too much of him - he still has plantar fasciitis to deal with, and it'll take him time to get his game legs back.

I really hope Pop just uses him as a quick-hitting 6th man (so that Bogans and Mason can eat pine) and doesn't try to hand the reigns over to him. The team is humming without him, don't screw that up!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Best thing I'm finding, regardless of what happens in the playoffs, is that I'm excited to watch these guys again. The last 10 games they have really come together as a team (the Nets was a b2b aberration). I expect absolutely nothing, but it is fun to watch.

Here's to you, Spurs, for keeping the fight going even when you looked lost, down and out. :toast

[TampaDude]

I hope we face the Lakers in the first round. Either we're going to win the title this year or we're not, and the road to the :lobt2: goes through LA sooner or later. If we do get by the Lakers, we'll probably make the Finals.

Y'all think we can knock off the Cavs again??? :hat

[Mark in Austin]

It sucks this game wasn't televised in Austin. At least I got to see the end during a live look-in on NBATV...

Ginobili torches Magic for 43 points in Spurs’ win (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap?gid=2010040224)
By Paul J. Weber

Manu Ginobili will be a free agent this summer.

His price might be going up by the game.

Ginobili scored a season-high 43 points, his fourth 30-plus game since replacing Tony Parker in the starting lineup last month, and the San Antonio Spurs completed a weeklong sweep of the Eastern Conference’s three division leaders with a 112-100 victory over the Orlando Magic on Friday night.

“We put three different guys on him,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. “Nobody could stop him.”

Tim Duncan had 23 points and the Spurs temporarily pulled themselves out of the last playoff seed in the West, where San Antonio is bunched up with Portland and Oklahoma City in a race to avoid the No. 8 spot.

Eighth means a likely first-round matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers, who San Antonio will get next Sunday. But the rejuvenated Spurs aren’t withering lately against the NBA’s best like they were earlier in this underachieving season.

Orlando was the third division leader the Spurs knocked off in the past seven days. It started with a home win over Cleveland, followed by a blowout in Boston.

The Spurs have yet to clinch a playoff berth, but with seven games left and a seven-game lead over Memphis, they inched closer.

“We couldn’t beat anybody the first 40, 50 games of the good (teams),” Ginobili said. “I’m very glad we started doing it. It’s better late than not doing it at all.”

Rashard Lewis and Mickael Pietrus had 18 apiece for the Magic, whose three-game winning streak ended in Texas one night after beating Dallas. Dwight Howard had 10 points and six rebounds, but hit just 2-of-11 free throws as the Spurs fouled him at every opportunity down the stretch.

Howard said he was frustrated by the Hack-a-Howard game plan.

“My mind wasn’t on the free throws. It was on the coach for the intentional fouls,” Howard said. “Really upset about that.”

Howard was 2 of 6 from the foul line in the fourth quarter. One fan behind the Magic bench who heckled Howard to “Work on your free throws!” was removed from the arena after Howard said he continued to shout as other Magic players told the man to calm down.

“Sometimes people can take it too far,” Howard said. “It’s a great thing to have fans come to the game, but once you attack somebody personally, guys sometimes take that serious, especially after a frustrating night.”

Howard’s night ended by fouling out with 3:06 remaining.

Fittingly, it was Ginobili who drew the foul.

He then stepped up and sank two of his 14 free throws, having missed just three on the night. When Ginobili hit his last two foul shots with 49 seconds remaining, a chant of “M-V-P!” swept through the AT&T Center.

For the Spurs? Without question.

It looked bleak for already-underachieving San Antonio when Parker broke his right hand March 6, but Ginobili has carried the Spurs to a 10-5 record without their starting point guard.

Matt Bonner added 15 points for the Spurs. Jameer Nelson and J.J. Redick had 15 apiece for Orlando.

The Spurs avenged a 26-point loss to Orlando on March 17 that was their worst of the season. Duncan had five points in that loss and was 1 for 10 from the field, the worst shooting percentage game of his career.

“Everybody in the league has frustrated nights,” Van Gundy said. “I saw Tim Duncan after 12 years have one of those frustrated nights against us in Orlando, so let’s not pretend it’s just Dwight. I saw one of the calmest guys in the league have a very frustrated night and do nothing but complain when he was in Orlando. It happens to everybody.”

Duncan took a seat early after being whistled for three fouls in the first 4 1/2 minutes of the game. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich didn’t last much longer.

Official Tony Brown ejected him just before halftime while Popovich—who picked up his first technical arguing Duncan’s early fouls—protested that Ginobili deserved a foul shot after being bumped by Howard on a jumper.

But Ginobili hardly needed help finding ways to score.

By midway through the third quarter, Ginobili already had nearly half of San Antonio’s 70 points. The Spurs call it “Manu being Manu”—drawing a foul on 3-pointers, pulling up for jumpers and recklessly barreling toward the basket.

Manu has been Manu a lot lately.

Since being thrust into the starting lineup 14 games ago, Ginobili is averaging 25 points—about 11 better than what he gave the Spurs each night before Parker’s injury.

Ginobili’s resurgence is likely benefiting him as much as the Spurs. The 32-year-old will be a free agent this summer and is proving he’s still one of the league’s most dynamic guards after injuries slowed him down the past couple years.

Ginobili was 13 of 25 from the field and hit three 3-pointers.

NOTES: Ginobili’s last 40-point game was Feb. 21, 2008, when he scored 44 in a win over Minnesota. … Popovich said before the game that Parker is still on track to return as early as the final week of the regular season.

[Quasar]

isn't fouling when you're down 10 with less than a minute to go useless?

That kind of fouling brought Cleveland back into the game the last time we played them (they started earlier though)!

[rwb]

Well damn, sure would have liked to have seen this game and watch Manu drop 43. Thanks DirecTV schedule for not having it listed even though I could have sworn there was a game tonight but figured it must only be televised on NBA League Pass. :rolleyes

Anyone know if games shown on KENS 5 are repeated anywhere or available online free?

[Winehole23]

I think people are expecting too much of him - he still has plantar fasciitis to deal with, and it'll take him time to get his game legs back.

I really hope Pop just uses him as a quick-hitting 6th man (so that Bogans and Mason can eat pine) and doesn't try to hand the reigns over to him. The team is humming without him, don't screw that up!I agree with this strongly. Manu and George Hill are playing great, the offense is way more dynamic than it was even before TP's injury IMO, and it's hard to imagine TP won't be showing some rust whenever he comes back.

[santymrc]

You know you can watch games over Inet right????? Who cares if they are listed or not, I haven't missed a single game in years now.

[TJastal]

He exploded on the ref and got ejected

The ref's name was Tony Brown, and from what I've seen of his reffing (or lack there of) he probably got his job thanks to affirmative action.

[TJastal]

Very fine take Ruff

[crc21209]

Great win last night by the silver and black...I'm proud to say i spent my 22nd birthday watching Manu school the Magic for 43 pts, Pop get ejected, and the Spurs overcoming the damn refs for a huge W. It was great to be apart of that rowdy crowd last night, so to those of you who go to any games starting now and into the playoffs, keep it up! I can only go to so many games because i live 2 1/2 hours away in Del Rio, but to be apart of that game last night was awesome! I will try my hardest to get some playoff tix and be back for a playoff game!

[Manufan909]

Fuck, man, showing some fight against contending teams. Maybe we could reach the WCFs... whatever happens, this playoffs will be a rollercoaster ride because we don't have much consistency at either end, but when this team plays at its best it's as good as anyone in the West right now.

With the Fakers, Nuggets and Mavs all looking weak, the West is WIDE OPEN this year.

So now you think the Spurs have a chance again??? Flip flopper.:lol
