[alchemist]

[Libri]

[Johnny RIngo]

It's about time Dice hit a shot.

[Refocus]

Dice showing some life with a great board and the 2!

[DJ Mbenga]

3 i going to kill the lakers today

[adidas11]

Damn it!

[Spurs Brazil]

Finally Dice

[Ice009]

That's IT DICE. That is it.

[BillMc]

Sprained ankle

Any reports on how bad???

[Spursfanfromafar]

Its Manu Time.. No..Manu-Timmy Time.. No.. Spurs Basketball :)

[quentin_compson]

Finally, Dice doing something useful.

[biziofromdowntown]

Finally....

[ffadicted]

Thank god Dice hit one

[ForeignFan]

+7, 7' to go

[peskypesky]

i truly believe Dice has been pacing himself for the playoffs all season. he ain't no spring chicken.

[Johnny RIngo]

take that all you fucking dumbass Dice-haters!

One shot doesn't excuse the fact that he's sucked all season.

[emanueldavidginobili]

manu will end up with 30

[crc21209]

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

I was thinking the same thing..it looked like he hit his head/neck area..

[timtonymanu]

Any reports on how bad???

x-rays were negative.

[Slomo]

Any reports on how bad???

Not yet

[crc21209]

i truly believe Dice has been pacing himself for the playoffs all season. he ain't no spring chicken.

Hopefully that's true...

[ffadicted]

playoff atmosphere for me lol I'm jumping around and yelling into pillows already :lol

[DPG21920]

If Dice could start actually playing, that might be the boost the Spurs need to really peak. I don't know if it is actually possible and there are really no signs that it is likely, but it would be a huge boost.

[urunobili]

Manu is still dead tired and Artest hasn't re-entered the ball game... I don't see Manu holding this game... we're losing this one still and we're in jeopardize to fuck up against the Kings too :pctoss

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

this 4th quarter is going so slow

[ohmwrecker]

Dice is getting it done late. Old vet style!

[Frenzy]

With the way the spurs are playing... if hill was playing.. spurs would be 10+ points easy. Heal quick hill please.

[Spurs Brazil]

A stop now would be key

[BillMc]

x-rays were negative.


Not yet

Thanks :toast:toast:toast

[quentin_compson]

By the way, who's sucking worse today? Farmar or Mason Jr.?

[TampaDude]

So...we're actually leading the Lakers...in LA...with a shot at winning this game...without Parker or Hill??? I like our chances in the playoffs if everyone is healthy. :hat

[Spursmania]

Just checked in.

Fuck-so we're without Parker and Hill?:bang

[urunobili]

playoff atmosphere for me lol I'm jumping around and yelling into pillows already :lol

lol me 2 :)

[jestersmash]

Its Manu Time.. No..Manu-Timmy Time.. No.. Spurs Basketball :)

Manu-Timmy time is Spurs basketball right now

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i really liked how dice was waiting to shot that last shoot

[Spursmania]

By the way, who's sucking worse today? Farmar or Mason Jr.?


Since Mason is on our team my vote is for him.

[ForeignFan]

artest in

[raspsa]

Spurs hanging tough despite missing Parker and Hill.. a good test for the Team. Ball has to be in Manu's hands.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP said in his interview that is a tweaked ankle

[ffadicted]

:) !!

[Penya]

lol me 2 :)

Me too...
Go Spurs!!

[Libri]

By the way, who's sucking worse today? Farmar or Mason Jr.?

Farmar has two points, Mason nada.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Ha ha Artest :)

[ForeignFan]

artest TO !

[Cherry]

lol Artest

[ffadicted]

Nice save Gino

[CFH]

Manu with a crazy shot. :D

[DPG21920]

There is that winning Manu instinct again

[Donnie Hathaway]

Ginobili is my hero

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bwahaa manu u the man :tu

[Spursmania]

Manu is such an animal!:toast

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Spursfanfromafar]

Thats the X factor and intangible spirit that Manu brings.. Great recovery and field goal.

[ffadicted]

GINOBILI!!!!!! what a pimp

[Cherry]

[Libri]

Manu pissed on Gasol!

[timtonymanu]

There's Manu.

[ShoogarBear]

FOCK YEAH, Manu!

[ForeignFan]

Manu everywhere

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu time!

[Spursmania]

Gasol looking ass tired...

[Otaku]

Manu taking care of the game as usual.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

mwahahaha gasoft is getting softer by the second :D

[Slomo]

I did a double take when the commentator said "Artest lost it!" :lol

[ForeignFan]

Pau misses FT

[ffadicted]

Awwww, what a beauty by the big fundamental

[DPG21920]

Spurs have not played great, but very, very solid. There are some obvious match up problems, but the Spurs have shown a lot.

Most encouraging thing is the tough defense and great play by Tim.

[Libri]

vintage Tim

[Spurs Brazil]

TD clinic

[Mr.Robinson]

Yes Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Xylus]

What a shot. Fucking beautiful 3-pointer by Ginobili.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Vintage Ginobili!!

[DPG21920]

Ginobili has exploded. It is a lot to get pounded on by Artest and Kobe. Manu is on another level lately.

If Tim and Manu can play at a high level like this :wow

[Frenzy]

Manu tressssssssssssss!!! :D

marc jackson hand down man down quote :rolleyes

[ShoogarBear]

[CFH]

Loving Dice's energy right now.

[Stringer_Bell]

Great hustle from Dice when it counts!

[Libri]

Look a Dice fighting for those rebounds!

[ffadicted]

Give credit to Dice, coming up HUUUGE

[ShoogarBear]

Spurs are getting to the loose balls now like they did against Boston.

[Spurs Brazil]

And Dice says fuck you SB

[jestersmash]

Thank you duncan and ginobili

[CFH]

[alchemist]

[ForeignFan]

[Libri]

Tim with a beautiful shot and 1. :downspin:

[Refocus]

Timmy motha fuckin' DUNCAN!

[Spursfanfromafar]

This is the best Timmy and Manu have played all season. Easily..

[TIMMYD!]

Yes!

Tim And 1!

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[ShoogarBear]

who sais Manu was dead tired ?

He is. Did you see how he was breathing?

Great effort though.

[DPG21920]

Tim looks great. He will have to play at this level to have a chance, because Pau is so tough for the Spurs. Very encouraging game from Tim. Great game from him.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

nice shoot kobe nice fucking shoot

[Frenzy]

kobe desperate 3 ...

lame

[ForeignFan]

+ 15, looks good fellas

[ffadicted]

IT's all good baby, manage the clock and play defense, let's do this shit

[DubMcDub]

Spurs are looking great. Very formidable. I think they would beat the Mavs in a playoff series right now, even without HCA (and it's no longer a foregone conclusion that the Mavs will finish with a better record than them...).

[jestersmash]

Thank you hairston

[CFH]

Thc

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

hariston!!!

[Trimble87]

Malik!

[crc21209]

Hairston AND-1!

[DPG21920]

:lol Gino is tired, but he has battled so hard. Just great effort. Malik with a strong finish.

[ffadicted]

MALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIK!!!!!!!!!!!

Come to the front of the bench please!!! :D haha

[ShoogarBear]

Malik!!!!

[biziofromdowntown]

Hairston and 1, Spurs show!

[Spurs Brazil]

Malik and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

[Libri]

Malik! :wow

Excellent pass by Tim.

[emanueldavidginobili]

has hairston made a FT this year?

[timtonymanu]

Fuck McDyess is hurt too?

[CFH]

Hope Dice is okay.

[peskypesky]

Spurs are looking great. Very formidable. I think they would beat the Mavs in a playoff series right now, even without HCA (and it's no longer a foregone conclusion that the Mavs will finish with a better record than them...).

if Parker comes back and starts, we'll lose in the first round.

[DPG21920]

Dice hurt his knee it looked like.

[Trimble87]

Dice and Hill tweaked ankles... dont like this.

[ForeignFan]

make those FT malik

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck!

'Dice is hurt!

[duncan228]

What a game.

[ffadicted]

Jesus, Dice hurt too?

[Spursfanfromafar]

Hope Dice is okay, now!

[TampaDude]

Okay, guys...it's all about the FTs now...MAKE THEM!!!!!

[emanueldavidginobili]

This is the best Timmy and Manu have played all season. Easily..

?..

[tothrowed]

did malik just score on kobe malik > mason please pop in the playoffs play malik not mason

[peskypesky]

Showtime Spurs slapping the Lakers in Staples Center!! lmao

I hope he is like this in the playoffs.

[Trimble87]

Was there any update on Hill?

[peskypesky]

did malik just score on kobe malik > mason please pop in the playoffs play malik not mason

i agree

[polandprzem]

dice is hurt?

Is EricB able to play?

[ForeignFan]

if Parker comes back and starts, we'll lose in the first round.

no way

[dbestpro]

The Lakers need Bynum.

[Libri]

Are these the most valuable minutes that Malik has gotten?

[TIMMYD!]

has hairston made a FT this year?

He's 8-18 total.

[Ghjkll]

Tim is still a monster. Yes, Manu played great and made big shots down the stretch, but Duncan is such a joy to watch for those who really love this game.

[jestersmash]

Oh boo hoo dice is hurt let's go into panic mode. I don't know about you guys but I don't give a shit about Dice right now, he's a god damned tard with the ball 95% of the time.

I'll take my chances with Bonner

[peskypesky]

this is how good the Spurs can be when you don't try to base your offense around a shoot-first PG.

[ffadicted]

No Parker, No Hill, No Problem???

Hope Dice isn't hurt too badly :(

[urunobili]

who sais Manu was dead tired ?

I did.. and he still looks like a corpse... he better go get to a Spa all Monday if you want him to be effective against the Kings....

[Borosai]

Maybe Mahinmi will get some quality minutes next game...

[ffadicted]

C'mon guys, hit your freebies

[ForeignFan]

I did.. and he still looks like a corpse... he better go get to a Spa all Monday if you want him to be effective against the Kings....

put him in a bathtub full of ice !

[jimo2305]

ok.. good win.. we needed the W more than the lakers did.. we should still play hard and have this taken with a grain of salt..

[CFH]

Hairston with the block, too bad it's a goaltend.

[DPG21920]

Malik has given the Spurs quality minutes. Missed some looks on offense and had that bad turn over, but made a positive impact during his PT.

[ohmwrecker]

Fuck McDyess is hurt too?

But he is terrible, right? We don't need him.

[ForeignFan]

gasol out ?

[Borosai]

I could tell by his body language that Malik was going to get a piece of that ball.

[ForeignFan]

makes those FTs boys

[jimo2305]

good point by breen..

last 2 weeks.. spurs beat cle bos orl and now lal.. :D


only team we lost to is the nets O.o

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck you Lakers!

[DPG21920]

Mailk is such a good shot blocker for his size. It is crazy.

[CFH]

lol Odumb :lol

[jimo2305]

ok pop.. get the star players out..

please..

[ffadicted]

Ginobili about to have another 30 point night :)

[biziofromdowntown]

LOL, Cavs, Celtics, Orlando n than LAL...

[Spurs Brazil]

This is a HUGE WIN

[ForeignFan]

Mahimi sighting !

[ShoogarBear]

Ian again!

[duncan228]

Manu and Duncan with great games. This was fun to watch.

[tdunk21]

lakers...best team in west???my ass....

[CFH]

Ianny in the game.

[ShoogarBear]

He must have had a good practice this week.

[ForeignFan]

This is a HUGE WIN

Great win, indeed. Hope we secure 6th or 7th spot

[timtonymanu]

where's lakaluva? he said this was gonna be a cakewalk.

[TampaDude]

...aaaaand Manu seals it at the FT line!!!

[boutons_deux]

Manu's running on vapor, and still brings home the BIG WIN.

[ShoogarBear]

LMAO, Stat of the Night:

Keith Bogans . . . +25

[Spurs Brazil]

We just can't have a Nets in the next game

Must win at Sacramento

[DPG21920]

What a great game by Tim and everyone. Not so much because they played their best basketball, but they hung tough and played very good defense after that bad start.

Manu is tired, but man, what a gutsy performance by him as well.

[Borosai]

Just look at Malik's energy on defense out there and tell me who else on this team could do that. Hill could, but with less size and strength. I'll take Malik over Mason every time.

[quentin_compson]

Well, the Lakers certainly can play better, but hell, this a great win nonetheless.

[Spursfanfromafar]

If Hill recovers, Manu rests for the Kings game and comes back for the Suns game.

[Bartleby]

where's lakaluva? he said this was gonna be a cakewalk.

He always disappears when the Lakers lose.

[BillMc]

Now on to worrying about Hill and Dice

[DPG21920]

He must have had a good practice this week.

I see what you did there.

[Frenzy]

where's lakaluva? he said this was gonna be a cakewalk.

in the nba forum making excuses....duh

[urunobili]

Manu back to back POW? :stirpot:

[dbestpro]

The Lakers need a 17 point play.

[Kuestmaster]

luck the fakers!!! GO SPURS GO!!! sure a lot of teams are afraid of us now... if we can insert healthy parker in our rotation we can think big

[Slomo]

ok pop.. get the star players out..

please..

Yes, please! Manu is exhausted - injuries are easier to get when tired.

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice is still on the bench so I don't think he's hurt bad

[lurker]

Congrats, Spurs fans. :toast

[TheSullyMonster]

Why did it take so long to take Manu and Timmy out?

[ForeignFan]

Manu playing 38'... but we cannot afford not to play him that much

[ohmwrecker]

where's lakaluva? he said this was gonna be a cakewalk.

He is concocting some absurd conspiracy to explain how the Spurs won this game.

[Libri]

LMAO, Stat of the Night:

Keith Bogans . . . +25

:wow :lol

I'll give him some props, he played some good D.

[emanueldavidginobili]

manu 32-5-5

tim 24-11-4

great game by both of them, im telling you if TP comes back playing well and manu and tim giving it their all watch out!

[ffadicted]

*starts slow claps*

[Johnny RIngo]

Best win of the season...easily. Felt like I was watching the '05 Spurs with the type of energy and hustle the team had out there tonight.

[siraulo23]

Sweet, sweet victory!!!

[jestersmash]

We just can't have a Nets in the next game

Must win at Sacramento

Disagree.

These were hard games against the Magic and Lakers. If we lose against Sacramento I really won't care.

[pjjrfan]

Wow, what a game from Manu, Tim, Bogans, McDyess and when he didn't have his head up his butt, Jefferson.

[biziofromdowntown]

100!

[Libri]

As soon as this game ends, the Spurs better get out quick before the crowd starts throwing stuff.

[TampaDude]

Spurs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lakers

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

FUCK yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa a

[TIMMYD!]

Win!

[ForeignFan]

19 points win - wow, did not seem like that early in the 4th quarter

[crc21209]

HUGE win by the Spurs...great job! :tu...Oh and by the way....FTL! FTL!

[dbestpro]

where's lakaluva? he said this was gonna be a cakewalk.

It was, for the Spurs.

[timtonymanu]

Disagree.

These were hard games against the Magic and Lakers. If we lose against Sacramento I really won't care.

No we need all the wins we could get if we want to get a decent seed.

[ForeignFan]

No we need all the wins we could get if we want to get a decent seed.

absolutely

[biziofromdowntown]

Huge win boys

[TampaDude]

2005 Duncan is BAAAAACK!!!!!

[DPG21920]

Manu has been averaging 32 MPG over the past month and 34 MPG over the last week.

[Thompson]

I missed most of the game (driving). What happened to Hill? Is he going to be out for a while?

[CFH]

Damn good game and a great win!!! :D Let's just hope Hill and Dice are okay.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

great win, damn

[siraulo23]

Best win of the season...easily

haha, after each game, it's our best win of the season... easily :lol

vs okc, vs cavs, vs boston, vs orlando, and now vs lakers

:flag:

[dbestpro]

After some of the losses the Spur fans have endured this year there is nothing wrong with enjoying this win.

[Cheese]

Goo win!

[pjjrfan]

Manu has been a beast but Tim is still the key, if he can continue to put up these kind of numbers, we can make some noise.

[lurker]

where's lakaluva? he said this was gonna be a cakewalk.So that's where the Lakers were, out looking for cake.

[alchemist]

Redeeming win for the Spurs, they haven't won there in quite a while and to do it in style is tremendous for their confidence. Now lets hope Dice and Hill come back real soon (Dice looked okay when Manu came out)

[Sisk]

19 points win - wow, did not seem like that early in the 4th quarter

which is why i love this even more - they showed determination on the road and weren't willing to lose this game

as everyone else has said, best win of the season

[easy7]

Damn, that was an ass whopping. Better fear the Spurs as an 8th seed. :hat

[jimo2305]

Spurs Win..

Easter Bunny Celebrates

[tothrowed]

[Borosai]

Not folding today was the best part.

[ForeignFan]

haha, after each game, it's our best win of the season... easily :lol

vs okc, vs cavs, vs boston, vs orlando, and now vs lakers

:flag:

Yes, they are improving :flag:

[BillMc]

Mason 21 minutes - 0 points, what else can he bring to the table?

[crc21209]

Hell yeah I am now 2-0 on starting the game blog/thread! :tu. :lol And not only that but on back to back games as well! Hell yeah!
