Game Blog: Spurs vs. Lakers: April 4th

[DPG21920]

Bogans, know your role.

[Johnny RIngo]

FUCKING BOGANS....great steal but he had to fuck it all up by trying to go inside with his shitty non-existent offense.

[Sisk]

damn gasol is playing great..

[Libri]

Damn, layup miss, that was a good steal by Bogans.

[Sigz]

Gasol owns Duncan

[ShoogarBear]

Dammit, Tim.

[BanditHiro]

wtf gasol

[TIMMYD!]

We have to take better care of the rock.

[ffadicted]

Ginobili goes out = Death of SA

[crc21209]

TD says "Fuck you GaSOFT!" :lol

[Mal]

what is Hill status ?

[CFH]

Duncan just said fuck you Gasol. :lol

[Spursfanfromafar]

Thats a great great answer, Timmy!.. Slammmmmmmmmmm DUNKKKKKKKKKKKK

[Spurs Brazil]

Tim Duncan!

[Refocus]

Duncan asks Pau how his ass tastes.

[vander]

two offensive fouls on Kobe? in LA?!?!?!

[DPG21920]

Gasol is owning the Spurs. How was that a foul on Bonner?

[TIMMYD!]

Bonner can't get any respect.

[timtonymanu]

what is Hill status ?

sprained ankle. xrays negative. wont be back tonight.

[crc21209]

That loose ball foul on Bonner is a joke....we get loose ball fouls called on us when they're not...and the Lakers don't get them called on them when they really do commit them...BULLSHIT..

[tothrowed]

wow i havent seen duncan dunk that hard in a while he must finally be mad

[Spurs Brazil]

Gasol owns Duncan

And TD says fuck you

[jimo2305]

i know this is random but

tim duncan is awesome

lol.. incase noone realized already :D

[manubili]

mason + bogan = meltdown in the 3rd

[BanditHiro]

two offensive fouls on Kobe? in LA?!?!?!

it was on Gasol shoving bonner way from the basket

[ffadicted]

How was that a loose ball foul, fuck me

[DPG21920]

Ginobili goes out = Death of SA

Gino is playing terrible. 33% FG and 6+ turnovers. He could easily have 10 already.

[TIMMYD!]

At least Gasol already has 4 fouls...

[Rick18]

Game's turning. Got to hold on for the next couple of minutes.

[admiralfats]

i really like the double team we brought on gasol, and then we rotated pretty darn well to cover the three. loving that defense, spurs. keep it up. good stuff.

[CFH]

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullshit on that loose ball foul.

[duncan228]

And TD says fuck you


tim duncan is awesome

:)

[Mal]

sprained ankle. xrays negative. wont be back tonight.


thx

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bonner always commit loose ball foul but then he never get the ball....

[BillMc]

I can only get the ESPN Gamegast here in Ukraine, so I can't see this game. Things look good. How does Tim's energy/movement look? Is he having trouble with Gasol? Numbers look good...

[tothrowed]

mason + bogan = meltdown in the 3rd
bogans is playing good but mason is still shitty

[Spursfanfromafar]

I dont like Roger Mason doing the quarterback duties. Hope Hill is okay.. we surely need him for the 4rth quarter.

[DPG21920]

Spurs are living dangerously. LA has missed a lot of open looks and chippies.

[Sisk]

i can't believe the spurs are getting calls in LA, it feels great

[Mr.Robinson]

That loose ball foul on Bonner is a joke....we get loose ball fouls called on us when they're not...and the Lakers don't get them called on them when they really do commit them...BULLSHIT..

Complete and utter.

[RedRaider]

Lets go Spurs we need this one!

[jestersmash]

ginobili playing awful but fortunately kobe is playing like trash too, so it balances out.

duncan having a monster game. nevertheless, gino's presence on the court is still helpful, he can handle the ball infinitely better than bogans or mason.

[Refocus]

:flag:

[alchemist]

I found something odd about Parker's reaction to Hill's injury, something just a little off.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i swear cedric jackson can run point right now better than mason

[cornbread]

Please keep shooting 3s Ron Ron.

[ffadicted]

Gino is playing terrible. 33% FG and 6+ turnovers. He could easily have 10 already.

Doesn't change the fact we're a dead man walking without him on the floor

[jestersmash]

gino 5-15 6 TO 15 pts
kobe 4-16 4 TO 11 pts

[Frenzy]

I found something odd about Parker's reaction to Hill's injury, something just a little off.

He wants to play.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

I found something odd about Parker's reaction to Hill's injury, something just a little off.

he completely ignores the question about hill's injury, he just said he wants to play

[Spurs Brazil]

George Hill out: Spurs report George Hill has a sprained right ankle and will not return. Hill was hurt when he stepped on the foot of the Lakers' Derek Fisher.

http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/courtside/2010/04/spurs-vs-lakers-6.html

[CFH]

Thc

[crc21209]

Hairston in...

[ffadicted]

Pop, please don't fucking double Kobe... I'm begging you

[jimo2305]

malik hairston is on the floor???? this is a surprise

[cornbread]

lol offensive foul on Pau

[DPG21920]

Doesn't change the fact we're a dead man walking without him on the floor

Spurs are fine without him right now. Duncan is carrying the team.

[Spursfanfromafar]

George Hill out: Spurs report George Hill has a sprained right ankle and will not return. Hill was hurt when he stepped on the foot of the Lakers' Derek Fisher.

http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/courtside/2010/04/spurs-vs-lakers-6.html

Its going to be difficult without Hill in the 4th quarter. Hopefully he recovers quickly though.

[crc21209]

Hairston with the pack on GaSOFT! :lol

[Refocus]

Heads up play by Malik.

[tothrowed]

malik blocked gasollllllllllllllll malik baby play hom over mason

[Libri]

Hairston immediately makes a defensive play.

[DPG21920]

Malik, great block. Then a good hard foul.

[BanditHiro]

dammit we are screwing up

[vander]

malik hairston is on the floor???? this is a surprise

he should bring more D than Mason

edit: except Mason is still out there, and he just fouled Gasol :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Great block Malik

[Ice009]

THAT WAS a stupid inbounds pass.

FUCK.

[crc21209]

And here comes Manu....and the boo's! :lol I love it!

[Sisk]

"by harrison"

i hate marc jackson so much

[jimo2305]

malik makes a play like less than 30 seconds after he's inserted....

[CFH]

Dammit Pop, stop playing mind games with Hairston...

[SCdac]

Spurs with some really tough help defense this game - I love it.

[jimo2305]

he should bring more D than Mason

lol yea.. im jus surprised pop put him in so early..

[Xylus]

Bonner has ice in his veins

[crc21209]

Bonner 3333333333333333

[RedRaider]

Bonner!

[DJ Mbenga]

when will bonner come back to earth?

[CFH]

Bonner 3!!!

[ffadicted]

BONNER Timely trips

[TimDunkem]

Harrison in and out again. Lol

[Spursfanfromafar]

Bonner o' Bonner!

[DPG21920]

Big shot from Bonner. Spurs grab a damn rebound.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 333333333333333333333333333

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

what a pass from manu to bonner three

[Xylus]

God, Gasol looks like a giant among men out there.

[crc21209]

The Spurs rotations on D are pretty damn good right now...

[alchemist]

Duncan back to shoot ft's with confidence.

:bang jinx

[Mr.Robinson]

Spurs with some really tough help defense this game - I love it.

Couple of missed rotations but great team D today.

[bbarry]

Damn that was an ABSOLUTELY HUGE 3 pter by Bonner. Words can almost not describe how much they need that one.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Tim Duncan, is having, I think, the Perfect Game today.

[ffadicted]

Spurs are fine without him right now. Duncan is carrying the team.

Man, Gino is +14, and our only passer, at the very least 2 of those TOs were not his fault... Duncan is doing great, but we absolutely need Ginobili on the floor to have even a remote chance of winning this. He's not shooting well, sure, but he's our only hope

[DPG21920]

Odom, if he wanted to, could punish the Spurs badly.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bonner's 10 feet floater are ugly today

[Ice009]

How does that floater from Bonner not go in? Has to miss against LA.

[crc21209]

Odom, if he wanted to, could punish the Spurs badly.

And that's why he sucks...he's too damn inconsistent and bi-polar.

[DPG21920]

Man, Gino is +14, and our only passer, at the very least 2 of those TOs were not his fault... Duncan is doing great, but we absolutely need Ginobili on the floor to have even a remote chance of winning this. He's not shooting well, sure, but he's our only hope

I don't care about his +/-. Bonner leads the team in +/- over a larger sample size. Do the Spurs need him?

Spurs do need Gino to step up his game if they want to win, but he is not playing well. It is not just shooting.

[Frenzy]

God, Gasol looks like a giant among men out there.

The hair. If he cuts it all his power is gone. why else would he keep it.

[jimo2305]

RJ.. hit that shot man..

[ForeignFan]

come on boys

[crc21209]

Too quick of a shot there by RJ...I didn't like that...come on now..

[CFH]

Spurs up by 8 going into the 4th.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 8 after the 3rd

[DPG21920]

Wide open look from RJ. Have to hit those. Spurs did a good job of keeping their lead. Need to come out strong to start the 4th.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

RJ should have attack on that last possession sighh

[jimo2305]

dat pass from manu was gift wrapped and next-day air mailed to him.. and he bricks it... *sighhh

[alchemist]

tough play on that, Ginobili probably should've gone before the double coverage

[timtonymanu]

I have a bad feeling about the 4th. Hopefully the guys hold up.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I don't know whose a shittier jump shooter. RJ or Mason.


Fucking pathetic.


Either way, this 8 point lead could dissapear in a hurry. Hopefully the Spurs play like they're down 8.

[urunobili]

Manu is dead tired...

[Libri]

Odom, if he wanted to, could punish the Spurs badly.

He has the skills to be one of the best but nada.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Should have been a 11 point lead if RJ stuck that dagger in. Sigh

[td_tp_manu]

can't believe manu only played 26 mins so far.

[BillMc]

I came to the game late. Is Hill hurt?

[quentin_compson]

Well, the Spurs gave the Lakers a lot of opportunities to turn this game around in the third quarter.
Good thing they're still up.

[ohmwrecker]

God, Gasol looks like a giant among men out there.

Big Bird is tall.

[boutons_deux]

Come on, Spurs. No 4th qtr scoring drought.

At worst, trade baskets and get the W

[ffadicted]

I don't care about his +/-. Bonner leads the team in +/- over a larger sample size. Do the Spurs need him?

Spurs do need Gino to step up his game if they want to win, but he is not playing well. It is not just shooting.

Only a blind man can't see the spurs are playing better this game when he's on the floor. I get that he's not having a good game necessarily, but the spurs are still better with him on the floor, no question

[quentin_compson]

I came to the game late. Is Hill hurt?

Yeah, sprained ankle.

[Frenzy]

those nba ads "focus" are pretty catchy.

[CFH]

I came to the game late. Is Hill hurt?

Out with a sprained right ankle.

[Xylus]

Badass "Focus" ad for the NBA, followed by a badass promo for LOST. Gotta love it.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Spurs should start with Mason at PG and feeding TD, before Manu takes over later in the quarter. Going to be a tough one without Hill.

[peskypesky]

I'm LOVING the way the Spurs are playing today. True team basketball. A thing of beauty. And playing hard on both ends of the court.

[DPG21920]

Manu is dead tired...

That is probably because Artest does a great job on Manu on defense. The Manu has to guard Kobe. They are both too physical for him and it takes it's toll. Great strategy by Phil & co.

[ohmwrecker]

I came to the game late. Is Hill hurt?
Yup. Ankle sprain.

[biziofromdowntown]

Let's go on Gasol fouls trouble

[TampaDude]

Kobe time...Spurs better be ready...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

:lmao phil jackson

[peskypesky]

Tims has 19 and 11 throught 3 quarters against the LAKERS....and people say he's lost his game???

[ffadicted]

.... good start

[crc21209]

Farmar are you fucking kidding me...

[Refocus]

lol farmar..

[BillMc]

Yup. Ankle sprain.

Thanks.:toast

Is it bad? Any reports?

[DPG21920]

LA opens up with a great play. Manu answers.

[DJ Mbenga]

lakers cant make a 3 to save their lives

[BanditHiro]

gasol have played the entire game?

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you Mason!

[Xylus]

God I love Ginobili's game. I try to model my own game after his.

[crc21209]

foul on Mason....riiiiight.

[alchemist]

these guys are missing so many crucial rebounds

[kjhip1]

why is mason in the game? he is absolutely horrible on D

[adidas11]

Kobe Bryant freaking sucks.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Come on get the loose balls

[ohmwrecker]

Thanks.:toast

Is it bad? Any reports?

Doesn't sound that bad.

[TIMMYD!]

Ginobili should be taking every shot where he's open no matter how he's shooting.

[Spurs Brazil]

Malik miss the open shot, Blair miss the reb.

DAMN

[Ice009]

How many rebounds are we going to blow.

HOW MANY BOARDS???????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????

[peskypesky]

these guys are missing so many crucial rebounds

yep. lack of rebounding is hurting right now.

[adidas11]

why is mason in the game? he is absolutely horrible on D

Someone has to help out running the point. No Tony Parker, and no George Hill.

[ShoogarBear]

Holy crap, Dice.

[crc21209]

Dice misses a bunny....fucking idiot.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you McDyess!! That was so easy.

[peskypesky]

ughh...all momentum has been lost. :(

[ffadicted]

How does a professional basketball player miss that layup Dice

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

once again dice and his oily hands

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck, 'Dice missed a bunny.

[CFH]

Come on Dice, put the ball back in.

[DPG21920]

LA making a push. Spurs offense stalling badly. Terrible line up.

[BanditHiro]

Someone has to help out running the point. No Tony Parker, and no George Hill.

he can't do that either lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck Dice, fuck

[Mr.Robinson]

Fuck you Mason!

Mason sucks.

[Ice009]

Pathetic from antonio. Finish the fucking play.

[peskypesky]

mcDyess needs to grow a pair. and fast.

[Refocus]

Cmon DICE!!! ARGGGGHHH

[peskypesky]

ummm...shit.

[duncan228]

Ugh.

[ffadicted]

Fucking stupid ass Hairston go back to the end of the bench goddamn it

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

omg....hairston!!!! c'mon

[crc21209]

Hairston with a good rebound and then a dumb fucking pass....

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck Me!

[emanueldavidginobili]

Here it comes.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

This game is over

FUCK

[TampaDude]

That was a fucking idiotic pass by Hairston.

[BanditHiro]

if gasol can play the entire game so can duncan

[DPG21920]

Terrible, terrible start. All of the earlier mistakes are starting to catch up.

[CFH]

Hairston gets the rebound then turns it over on the pass, bleh...

[Spursfanfromafar]

Effing Roger Mason is killing us offensively

[BillMc]

Can we just cut Mason now?

[adidas11]

Let's go Lakers! Step it up!

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason SUCKS

Malik good and then terrible

[timtonymanu]

Seriously Pop, fuck you. That's a shitty lineup you have.

Stone hands Dice, inexperienced Blair and Malik, ghost Mason and Manu,

[peskypesky]

well, it was nice while it lasted. you gotta play 4 quarters, peeps.

[Frenzy]

i cant even remember the last time mason made a shot.

[kjhip1]

okay...you knew this woulkd happen..every great team makes a come back in the 4th...Duncan coming back in...let's build the lead again...

[yavozerb]

later hairston

[DJ Mbenga]

man i had no idea how big of a difference walton makes with morrison

[noles1983]

just like clockwork, the choke is on

[Libri]

Uh oh, Pop is going to send Malik to the doghouse for all eternity.

[Ice009]

How bad is George Hill hurt??????????


He needs to be playing if he can play.

[TIMMYD!]

Hairston just negated anything he's done on the court with that stupid pass.

[urunobili]

damn Malik :pctoss and Fuck you Manu too :pctoss

[biziofromdowntown]

FUCK Mason. Cut him now please.

[tlongII]

Shouldn't this thread be in the NBA Forum?

[lefty]

No more Dice
No more Malik
No more Mase

Bring back Bogans and Duncan














Fuuuuuuuck

[TampaDude]

Blowout coming...I can feel it...the Lakers were just toying with us...

[Chieflion]

Lack of PG play in the 4th quarter.

[tothrowed]

get mason the fuck out o the game that last to was masons fault not maliks mason was beggin for the ball

[DPG21920]

Fucking stupid ass Hairston go back to the end of the bench goddamn it

:lol He blocks Gasol and grabs an offensive board, but turns it over once and he should go back to the end of the bench? Manu can turn it over 6+ times and he is ok.

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice and Mason together is too much

Those are the the most dumb players in the league

[Mr.Robinson]

LA making a push. Spurs offense stalling badly. Terrible line up.

Mason plays for the other team every game. Why the fuck does he play? Hairston with a stupid pass after a good rebound. Pop needs to put Duncan and Dick in right away.

[peskypesky]

can we sign Avery to play PG?

[dbreiden83080]

Damn i hate Kobe..

[ForeignFan]

what line up is this???

[Mr.Robinson]

Dice and Mason together is too much

Those are the the most dumb players in the league

Dice is a dumb bastard. Mason just sucks ans doesn't care about the spurs anymore.

[Harry Callahan]

Derek Fisher has had it. Can't play. Can only hit and undercut on defense.

[BillMc]

Save us Timmy!!!!!

[kjhip1]

This game is over

FUCK

why even call yourself a fan? :ihit

[tothrowed]

L.A is pissin me off right now, where's a fine white kobe distraction when ya need one.

[ffadicted]

:lol He blocks Gasol and grabs an offensive board, but turns it over once and he should go back to the end of the bench? Manu can turn it over 6+ times and he is ok.

Yes

[Ice009]

Effing Roger Mason is killing us offensively

Don't worry about the pass of Hairston that was a bad rookie mistake.

I will say though you are right about Mason Jr.

RMJ IS ABSOLUTELY KILLING US OUT THERE ON THE COURT. HE IS KILLING US BAD.

[BanditHiro]

the lakers have their starters out there all game and we are trying to match them with our bench in the 4th fuck you pop

[ForeignFan]

bogans and duncan in

[crc21209]

Mark Jackson loves that Kobe cock...:lol

[itzsoweezee]

roger mason is absolutely horrible.

[Johnny RIngo]

Mason choking like usual. His mannerisms say enough about his lack of mental toughness(He looked SCARED having the ball in his hands)

[ShoogarBear]

WTF is it with Manu and bounces passes today?

[peskypesky]

can Timmy save this? please oh basketball gods!

[ForeignFan]

and RJ in as well

[yavozerb]

:lol He blocks Gasol and grabs an offensive board, but turns it over once and he should go back to the end of the bench? Manu can turn it over 6+ times and he is ok.

Wow, an offensive board..:wow

[Harry Callahan]

Dumb ass plays in the clutch. Hill is missed already. Refs will not let LA get too far behind as well.

[crc21209]

There you go Dice!

[ace3g]

what happened to Hill?

[Spursfanfromafar]

Duncan, you beauty..what a pass.

[ffadicted]

Thank you Dice lol about time

Fucking Kobe's gonna turn it on now

[ffadicted]

Can somebody box a nigga out please?

[timtonymanu]

damn it Pop. this is your fault.

[peskypesky]

gino!!!!!!!!

[CFH]

Manu tressssssssssssssssssss

[Libri]

Manuuuuuuuu

[Xylus]

Great hit by Ginobili

[duncan228]

Manu!

[ForeignFan]

clean the boards

[ffadicted]

GInooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! Timely Triple

[TIMMYD!]

Ah, fuck, Kobe is starting to hit everything.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Manu got to be more agressive on the offense of end

[Spursfanfromafar]

Come on..Manuuuuuuuuuuu!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ffadicted]

Shit's gettin' nasty man

[crc21209]

Manu just made Walton look like a bitch! :lol

[peskypesky]

time for the manu-tim show

[timtonymanu]

Does Gasol ever miss?

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs falling apart. We desperately needed George Hill in the 4th.

[Slomo]

what happened to Hill?
Sprained ankle

[DPG21920]

I know it was not dirty, but did Walton even go for the ball?

[TIMMYD!]

Manu needs to keep driving that shit.

[ForeignFan]

godd miss farmar

[CFH]

Dice J

[DPG21920]

That was a great board by Dice. Then hits a big shot. Finally.

[crc21209]

Dice with the J! :tu

[peskypesky]

take that all you fucking dumbass Dice-haters!
