[CFH]

Happy birthday and Go Spurs Go!!! Magic were shooting lights out from what I saw last night, gonna be tough.

[Muser]

All the false hope gained by beating the Celtics and Cavs will be washed down the drain tonight. Howard will make Duncan his little tranny bitch tonight.

Duncan has been everyones bitch lately, and what hope? We lost to the freakin' nets.

[duncan228]

[Whisky Dog]

Pimp these bitches out tonight.

[Xylus]

It's probably to the Suns' benefit that the Spurs lose tonight, but god damn I hate the Magic. Fuck Dwight Howard.

I'll be rooting for the silver-and-black tonight.

[Obstructed_View]

My team's in first place and I'm still scared shitless of the Spurs.

[Refocus]

[timtonymanu]

[Dex]

Officials wearing their retard hats tonight.

[FeZZy]

these refs sucks

[Chieflion]

Referees suck chants in San Antonio.

[FeZZy]

can anyone tell me the refs name?

[Dex]

Refs too busy calling fouls to count.

[Spurs Brazil]

2nd and 3rd foul were pathetic

How refs call that shit on TD

[timtonymanu]

the ref who called it should get shot. im dead serious.

[Dex]

Well, no more Tim for the first half thanks to the refs influencing the fucking game.

[tothrowed]

wtf kinda foul calls im proud of our fans for getting loud tho

[Soul]

Wow these refs suck.

[Dex]

:lmao Did they just call a three seconds while the man was defending the ball?

[Spurs Brazil]

damn RJ

[FeZZy]

i hate svg he's the worst coach ever he's like a fat potato head man

[Dex]

And now two quick fouls on Howard.

This is stupid for both teams.

[Chieflion]

2 fouls on Dwight. The refs getting more and more retarded.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Rj almost had it

[FeZZy]

rj seriously needs to stop trying to dunk from the freethrow line HE NEVER MAKES THOSE!

[timtonymanu]

LMAO Sean : We'll be done with this game by midnight.

[Spurs Brazil]

Howard with 2PF

[Crookshanks]

2 fouls on Dwight. The refs getting more and more retarded.

+1000 Who are these refs tonight? This game is going to go until midnight, that's if there's any players left to finish the game!

[FeZZy]

these have to be dumbest refs ever

[CFH]

Refs are just terrible so far. Did they just come out of the D-league???

[TIMMYD!]

Any of ya'll del rio people ever play basketball for coach grimes?

At Del Rio High?

[Jason R]

There is some horseshit going on in this game.

[Spurs Brazil]

can anyone tell me the refs name?

Scott Foster; Tony Brown; Gary Zielinski

[FeZZy]

Man well the rest of my night is ruined these refs killed it

[Whisky Dog]

Refs blowing big time both ways so far.

Did you hear that? The refs study the teams most recent games to look for patterns? Way to send biased refs into games you dumb shit Stern. No wonder they're crooked, they're encouraged to get a good judgemental bias going into the game.

[Tp9gospursgo]

And 1!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuu and one!!!!!!!!

[01Snake]

At the rate they are calling fouls, this game will be over about midnight.

[TIMMYD!]

Just saw the box, 3 fucking fouls on Tim?

:wow

[Crookshanks]

Refs are just terrible so far. Did they just come out of the D-league???

Stern needs to make a fast call to someone and tell these idiot refs that there has to be enough players to finish the game. :lol

[Chieflion]

They called a foul again!

[Soul]

Wow.

[FeZZy]

another foul danggg there are going to be some fines handed out tomorrow

[SAtown]

Refs blowing big time both ways so far.

Did you hear that? The refs study the teams most recent games to look for patterns? Way to send biased refs into games you dumb shit Stern. No wonder they're crooked, they're encouraged to get a good judgemental bias going into the game.

Yeah that's pretty messed up. I'm sure it's one of the many things about the league that Stern doesn't want the public to know

[Whisky Dog]

At Del Rio High?

Some of y'all play ball at Del Rio? My dad held a bunch of basketball records at Del Rio High from back in the mid to late 70's, not sure how many still stand if any.

[FeZZy]

DICE tip

[Tp9gospursgo]

LMAO carter airball

[Libri]

effortless shot by Manu

[FeZZy]

MANUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUu

[Spurs Brazil]

Good start for Dice

[FeZZy]

AIRBALLLLLLl_

[FeZZy]

DICE again

[timtonymanu]

Dice is playing great right now. Keep it up.

[ohmwrecker]

Dice! Where you at haters?!

[FeZZy]

i hate matt barnes

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

orlando shoots three like layups

[FeZZy]

rashard lewis is overpaid

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason stupid turnover started the Magic run

When Pop will learn...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

why is george subbed out early??

[tothrowed]

dice is ballin tonight, mason .... smh mason is done he just got burnt and made a turnover everytime we get momentum someone fucks it up

[ohmwrecker]

i hate matt barnes

He is a douche.

[FeZZy]

hopefully ghill can step up like on wednesday

[45 bank shot]

Mason can't run point

[itzsoweezee]

things are already looking bad. hill, jefferson, bonner, mason, none of the supporting cast, other than mcdyess, are doing anything.

[Chieflion]

These aren't the refs being biased. They just calling fouls like the dumbasses they are.

[Stringer_Bell]

Just tuned in after not being able to find the game, but I could easily find Mason Jr. on the court. WTF?!?! This is exactly the shit I hate to see, Pop plugging in a "veteran" rather than someone that doesn't suck completely...that's what that is, right? He gives more fast-breaks to the other team and turnovers at the worst times than anyone on this team.

[ohmwrecker]

Mason can't run point

Who would you prefer?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol bogans mason bonner on at same time again

[FeZZy]

hill!

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck refs again

[FeZZy]

bonner floater

[Stringer_Bell]

lol bogans mason bonner on at same time again

You're forgetting Blair. I hate seeing him with Bonner on the court.

RMJ + Bonner/Blair = Why we can't have nice things!

[duncan228]

:lol Mason Jr. hits.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Mason 3!!

[FeZZy]

ive never seen matt bonner hit a FT :lmao

[Refocus]

Hopefully that can get Mason going. Nice 3ball.

[FeZZy]

Mason!

[Refocus]

Ian and Malik sighting.

[Libri]

Hairston and Ian are in.

[Chieflion]

Pop fucking with Ian. 3.7 seconds.

[itzsoweezee]

everyone's scoring on Boner.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 29-27 after one

[Johnny RIngo]

Stopped watching after Duncan got his 3rd foul. Pretty obvious the refs don't want SA to win tonight.

[Spurs Brazil]

Refs will review Mason 3PT

[CFH]

The quarter of fouls is finally over, hope the rest of the game isn't officiated so tightly.

[tothrowed]

if mason can get going with 3's spurs are going to be a problem

[jestersmash]

Damn, lots of unfriendly rolls for Ginobili but I like that he's able to get to the rim and get those high percentage shots, even if like 2 or 3 of them have missed.

Hopefully he's not too winded having to play a bit longer in the 1st quarter than usual with duncan out so fast.

[ohmwrecker]

Pop fucking with Ian. 3.7 seconds.
How many fouls did he get?

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 333333333333333333333333

[Chieflion]

Ya, right, foul.

[Spurs Brazil]

That's why I want to KILL Mason

[FeZZy]

3 in transition? come onnnn

[Spurs Brazil]

Another stupid Mason play = Another Magic run

[FeZZy]

come on!

[Thomas82]

Stopped watching after Duncan got his 3rd foul. Pretty obvious the refs don't want SA to win tonight.

I can't believe he had 3 fouls in the 1st quarter alone. That has to be a first for him.

[Warlord23]

This lineup sucks ass

[Ice009]

Letting JJ Redick get to the rim at will is the most PATHETIC defense of all time.

[#2!]

the play by play is nothing but missed 3s by the spurs.

too many 3s

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill needs to attack, too passive so far

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nice '70s 'fro on Pietrus. :tu

[blkroadrunners]

Gotta grab the rebound.

[jestersmash]

hill is the best fucking player on the court and our overall 4th or 5th option, he needs to take more shots

[Spurs Brazil]

This lineup sucks

[timtonymanu]

Fuck BMB.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Letting JJ Redick get to the rim at will is the most PATHETIC defense of all time.

I'll hold you to that hyperbole! :lol

(I'd venture to say that we will see worse... ;) )

[Ice009]

What is pop fucking doing.

Change the line up you fuckwit. What good is a timeout going to do. It's more to do with that fucking lineup on the court.

[FeZZy]

someone get a rip!

[CFH]

Can anyone just get a damn rebound???

[tothrowed]

bmb = shit

[Dex]

Hopefully Pop is done toying with his No Offense Lineup.

[jestersmash]

No, hill has offense but he's not taking shots like he should be. He's not even getting people that open on his drives.

[timtonymanu]

Hopefully Pop is done toying with his No Offense Lineup.

I bet he's not gonna change the lineup after this TO.

[Ice009]

I'll hold you to that hyperbole! :lol

(I'd venture to say that we will see worse... ;) )

LOL GREAT.

Letting a player like Reddick get to the rim any time he wants is not going to cut it. I have no idea what Pop is trying to do with the line up he has out there.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

someone get a rip!


Can anyone just get a damn rebound???

I averaged about 10 a game in 28mins this season. 10 day contract? :lmao

[easy7]

:flag: :flag: :flag:

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bmb at full strength baby

[Libri]

Dice!

[easy7]

Micky D is kicking ass

[Dex]

That's better.

Dice with the jumper.

[Chieflion]

At least Dice is showing up tonight.

[FeZZy]

dicycle

[jestersmash]

jesus FINALLY a friendly roll for ginobili.

[Ice009]

MAN RICHARD JEFFERSON IS A RETARD.

Stop jacking JUMPERS you fuckwit RJ. DUMB PLAYER.

[FeZZy]

manu finger roll

[Libri]

good block by Blair

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol magic threes are falling

[Crookshanks]

Memphis is determined to stay in the playoff hunt. They're beating NOH by 17 right now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

LOL GREAT.

Letting a player like Reddick get to the rim any time he wants is not going to cut it. I have no idea what Pop is trying to do with the line up he has out there.

I agree with you in principle. Reddick should rarely, if ever, get to the rim in the NBA.

[007nites]

Blair aint messing around

[Spurs Brazil]

Good block Blair

Hill layup

[timtonymanu]

Fuck we got passive RJ/Hill tonight.

[dbestpro]

Blair has to play harder.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice block

[blkroadrunners]

Nice drive by Manu.

[FeZZy]

Blair block!

[007nites]

reddick is faking it

[FeZZy]

hate redick

[siraulo23]

we get a stop, they can the rebound, trez

[FeZZy]

manu is on it

[007nites]

hahaha i knew it

[CFH]

That was weak.

[FeZZy]

refs again! i hate them

[dbestpro]

Hill has to quit going under the screen. He's getting burned every time. He's got to fight over the top. Blair still needs to grow 4 inches.

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ doing nothing. Terrible on O and not going for the boards on D

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ouch. Copped an elbow to the head. "Clean"? Not so much. :lol

Pietrus looks like he should be starring in Shaft III: the Hip Hop Invasion... :lmao

[FeZZy]

man i bet joe crawford called up his buddies

[FeZZy]

Pietrus looks like he should be starring in Shaft III: the Hip Hop Invasion... :lmao

:lmao:lol:lol

[Ice009]

I feel like punching RJ everytime he takes and jumper and doesn't try to drive to the rack.

[Whisky Dog]

Sucks cause Timmy was starting to beast when he got sat down for bullshit fouls

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That was weak.

Elbows to the head are not "weak". I copped 8 of them the other night from a dirty arsed team. They hurt.

[dbestpro]

Blair needs to quit worrying about the fouls and go break some arms.

[007nites]

Manu wow lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Stringer_Bell]

RMJ in the game at any point is a disgrace to Manu's hardwork. I don't care how many one-off 3's he makes, he contributes nothing. nuthinnnnn!! >.<

[Thomas82]

sucks cause timmy was starting to beast when he got sat down for bullshit fouls


+1

[dbestpro]

Dice has got to roll out on the shooter.

[blkroadrunners]

Pietrus is on fire. Somebody cut off his hair please.

[007nites]

manu going for 40?

[timtonymanu]

if only our scrubs could hit open 3's like theirs.

[Refocus]

Maybe the Spurs should start growing fros like Pietrus.

[FeZZy]

no foul?

[ohmwrecker]

Manu is beasting.
How is Reddick getting so many rbs?!

[Spurs Brazil]

If they called those weak ones on TD they should call a foul on Howard on that Manu layup

[Warlord23]

Fucking hate this type of game from Jefferson ... invisible all game long, jacking up a couple of jumpers when everybody in the arena knows he is cold

[jestersmash]

with all the bull shit the refs called early, that should've been a foul on the ginobili drive.

[FeZZy]

haha get a fro bogans and jefferson

[Ice009]

Fucking hate this type of game from Jefferson ... invisible all game long, jacking up a couple of jumpers when everybody in the arena knows he is cold

HE IS AN IDIOT. Stupid play from RJ.

[timtonymanu]

seriously RJ better step up now. Quit being a little bitch, RJ.

[CFH]

Elbows to the head are not "weak". I copped 8 of them the other night from a dirty arsed team. They hurt.

From my POV it didn't look like Reddick got fouled but I'm having to watch the Magic broadcast and they didn't show a replay of the foul unless I missed it.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Manu with 18 already...and pop got tossed

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop is gone

[Libri]

WTF! Pop was ejected.

[Pentagruel]

if only our scrubs could hit open 3's like theirs.

Seriously... This right here probably is what irritates me most on this Spurs squad; They can't hit a godamn wide open shot to save their lives. It almost seems like they are better at hitting semi-contested shots then the wide open ones.

[jestersmash]

ginobili 18 points, 16 minutes, 50% shooting. And that's with like 2 or 3 easy misses right at the rim due to unfriendly rolls.

We still need duncan and WTF pop tossed?

[Stringer_Bell]

Who is the ref?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

omfg pop is gone

[Ice009]

What the fuck. Pop got tossed. Great.

[ohmwrecker]

Maybe Bud will give Ian some time . . . Just go in and hard foul the shit out of Howard.

[Chieflion]

Pop has been tossed? Boo the refs.

[Crookshanks]

what a little bitch ref!!!!!

[dbestpro]

These officials have lost there minds. I long for the old days when the lower level fans would have had the officials shaking for the rest of the game.

[Tp9gospursgo]

He didnt even look like he was trying to get tossed. He was pretty calm to me.

[timtonymanu]

fuck coach bud is gonna make us lose.

[FeZZy]

someone hire pj

[timtonymanu]

I hope all three of these refs get shot.

[tothrowed]

mason is getting beat bad

[Stringer_Bell]

fuck coach bud is gonna make us lose.

RMG, and Blair/Bonner combos are going to make us lose...in addition to inconsistent foul calls (but that's nothing new). :depressed

[Ice009]

Why is Manu on the bench?????

Budenholzer is a retard coach.

[FeZZy]

horrible call

[duncan228]

Maybe the Spurs should start growing fros like Pietrus.

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x282/duncan228/temp%20duncan/10-15-05.jpg

[Libri]

Manu schooled Gortat.

[timtonymanu]

Fuckin Matt Bonner hit your 3's.

[Cherry]

he didnt even look like he was trying to get tossed. He was pretty calm to me.


cia-pop?

[FeZZy]

manu on fire

[FeZZy]

everyone penetrate

[007nites]

Yes!

[Tp9gospursgo]

someone hire pj

:tu

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wtf is up with all those switches with bonner guarding the guards

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Manu!!!!!!!

[Cherry]

MANU hehehe

[duncan228]

Go Manu!

[Otaku]

Manu is the only reason the Spurs are making the playoffs this year. No Manu, Spurs lose to the Nets...

[FeZZy]

i love manu but these refs really do suck

[spursfaninla]

pop figured he might get a mercy attitude from the Refs for ft's if he gets tossed, so he went for it. We will see if it worked after the game.

Pop has never been a great in-game adjustment guy anyway. And he can radio stuff to the coaches from a distance.

[Chieflion]

2.9 seconds left and they sub Hairston and Ian in again.

[phxspurfan]

Where are the Ts for all the Magic that are arguing

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

nice shoot nelson

[Dex]

Ginobili stealing a play out of Hill's book. :lol

[FeZZy]

hahahaha overthrown :lmao

[Ice009]

It's basically Manu Vs this whole Magic team.

Spurs NEED OTHER PLAYERS TO HELP MANU OUT.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Can Pop talk to them at halftime?

[Spurs Brazil]

Magic up 2 at the half

Let's hope coach Bud does a better job on his rotations. Last time Pop got ejected he did a terrible job
