Alright let's see if I can try and keep my birthday mojo from Friday going on Easter sunday now! Go Spurs Go! :flag:

[Libri]

Let's get this thing rolling. :flag::ihit

[socalspur21]

Is Parker playing?

[duncan228]

Is Parker playing?

No. He's supposed to be on track to come back the last couple of games of the regular season.

[peskypesky]

hoping for a good game. as long as Parker is out, we have a fighting chance. :flag:

[crc21209]

Game can be seen on ESPN for right now....

[crc21209]

RJ with the first 5 points...good start for him..:tu

[Libri]

The game already started. They're showing it on ESPN.

[Refocus]

Go Spurs!

[ffadicted]

Fawk I can't watch the game come on boston win this shit

[crc21209]

Not good D by Manu on Kobe there...:td

[TDfan2007]

Lakers can't miss early.

[crc21209]

The Spurs are playing some soft ass D out there right now....not good.

[timtonymanu]

Not liking the defense right now.

[Libri]

six point Laker lead

[adidas11]

Good start to the game so far...

[BanditHiro]

fuck game over and we are barely in the first few minutes

[HarlemHeat37]

If they're going to double Kobe, there's no chance of winning..

[DPG21920]

Lakers scoring too easily.

[crc21209]

If they're going to double Kobe, there's no chance of winning..

I hate when they double...double-teams lead to people getting easy baskets cutting to the paint or wide-open 3-pointers...

[crc21209]

Wow...no call there...really?

[crc21209]

Manu slowly picking it up....

[duncan228]

Manu!

[crc21209]

Damn it TD!

[blkroadrunners]

lol JVG

[crc21209]

Odom's fall looked so gay..:lol

[crc21209]

Turnover....fuck

[timtonymanu]

Manu to Tim is fail right now.

[adidas11]

Let's go LA! Establish a 5 point lead by the end of the first qtr.

[crc21209]

Bad pass by Manu...wtf!?!?!?

[duncan228]

Protect the damn ball.

[timtonymanu]

seriously guys watch the passes.

[Refocus]

Turnover city.

[BanditHiro]

wow manu three bad passes

[Libri]

crappy passes by Manu

[DPG21920]

Are you kidding me, Manu. 4 turn overs?

[BanditHiro]

game over manu is not playing well

[blkroadrunners]

Grab the rebound.

[ffadicted]

About fucking time I get to see this game, fuck

[crc21209]

Kobe should be getting offensive fouls down there...

[crc21209]

Fuck Artest that piece of shit...

[duncan228]

Here we go with the decline of Duncan talk...

[crc21209]

Foul on Hill? Really? Really!??!?

[DPG21920]

Another turn over.

[crc21209]

Here we go with the decline of Duncan talk...

Of course...it's BSPN...:lol

[ohmwrecker]

I hate Derek Fisher.

[DPG21920]

Spurs look really bad. Turnobli and bad defense.

[crc21209]

13 points in the 1st quarter so far...pathetic. The Lakers are not a fucking defensive juggernaut...take it to their asses and take care of the damn ball!

[Johnny RIngo]

Game will be over as soon as the Lakers pull ahead by 10.

[timtonymanu]

Ginobili leading the way with a :td

[BanditHiro]

can they just hurt kobe at least

[tp2021]

No more MVP chants

[DPG21920]

Spurs need to clean up the play or this will get bad. These match up problems are not going away, so this should be a wake up call to people asking for the Lakers in round 1.

Spurs can still win this game, but you see the problems Pau gives Tim. Same with Artest and Gino.

[blkroadrunners]

can they just hurt kobe at least

Brucey B aint w/ us anymore. :depressed

[DPG21920]

can they just hurt kobe at least

Don't be dumb.

[Mr.Robinson]

No more MVP chants

Manu better get it going.

[Refocus]

Spurs are killing themselves right now..

[DPG21920]

Seriously. 4 turn overs in the first half of the first quarters. *Shakes Head*

[blkroadrunners]

Hill got burned on that steal attempt.

[crc21209]

Bonner with a flying put-back! :lol

[ffadicted]

lol bonnah you sneaky bastuurd

[DPG21920]

They are just pounding the Spurs down low. Delivering the punishment.

[BanditHiro]

anybody else stayed on ESPN to watch the dunk contest

[Spurs Brazil]

Good job Bonner

[crc21209]

Stupid pass by Bogans...fucking idiot.

[timtonymanu]

Lakers are outhustling us. Cmon man up!

[blkroadrunners]

Artest w/ those quick hands.

[ffadicted]

Nice fighting Jefferson, and LMAO at Kobe giving Bogans 20 feet of space to shoot the 3....

[DPG21920]

Kobe and Artest are so much more physical and strong than anyone on the Spurs. It is alarming to watch.

[duncan228]

Pretty Duncan.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD great bank!!!

[crc21209]

Bonner 3333333333333333

[ffadicted]

Bonnerrrrrrrr

[Fundamental]

Bonnnerrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol

[blkroadrunners]

Red Rocket bringin us back in the game.

[crc21209]

Odom with a 3...that fucking ugly motherfucker...:lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 333333333333333

[vander]

Bonner the Laker Killer, nothing can stop us now

[DPG21920]

Duncan is moving pretty well. I cannot believe the Spurs are only down 2

[duncan228]

Duncan again. Hope he gets lit and stays lit.

[BanditHiro]

rofl bonner

[DPG21920]

Bonner playing great. Good sign.

[duncan228]

:lol Not like that.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

there is absolutely no contest or hands up on the spurs pat

[Libri]

Look at Bonner make plays.

[Refocus]

Bonner is bringing it.

[TDomination]

Bonner playing well

[ffadicted]

eehhhhhh...... not bad lol

[timtonymanu]

Bonner has made this game close. Keep it up!!

[BanditHiro]

fucking matt bonner

[duncan228]

Stay close and give yourself a chance at the end.

[Spurs Brazil]

Lakers up 2 after one

[blkroadrunners]

Did Bonner have a pre-game Hoagie or something? He's very active this afternoon.

[DPG21920]

After that terrible quarter, I will take being down by 2. Don't even know how that is possible.

Just clean it up, get Tim good looks and take good shots.

[quentin_compson]

Nice game by Matt so far.

Geeze, Bogans looked slooooooooooow on that last possession. :lol

[weebo]

matt motherfuckin bonnerRRR!!!!!!!1

[biziofromdowntown]

Bonner: MVP

[Spursfanfromafar]

Duncan having a great game. Good signs. Manu is bound to recover. I am liking this game for the Spurs.

[Chieflion]

We saw it. Bonner was the man early on.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

at least the game is close

[ShoogarBear]

:lol Not like that.

He was going for the 2-for-1. The announcers missed that, too.

[timtonymanu]

I wish Bogans made that buzzer beater. That would be the luckiest shot ever.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

but bonner is no odom killer

[jestersmash]

Bogans has literally NO offensive game. Look at how wide he is for 3 when he's given the ball. Lakers know they don't even have to bother guarding him on the 3. Bogans has no 3 point game, he has no driving game, he has no mid range jumper, he has NOTHING. We're going to lose if such an offensive liability is present on the court for extended periods of time.

Fortunately he got the ball to hill in the heart of the paint who got it to duncan who scored, so we escaped that little skirmish just barely, but jesus christ I don't think I've ever seen a worse player.

He's not even that great on defense.

[ohmwrecker]

Bonner has made this game close. Keep it up!!
Other than not closing out on that Kardashian 3, no complaints so far.

[jestersmash]

By the way just for clarification i'm obviously not talking about the prayer shot by bogans last possession, I'm talking a few possessions before that.

[Man In Black]

Richard & George need to man up. George needs to dominate the PG he has to play against.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

spurs cannot get shannon brown and farmar going

[crc21209]

Blair is too damn short for Pau....WTF Pop...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol blair on gasoft lol

[Man In Black]

If they come to San Antonio, can some of you hardcore fans make a big sign that says,"Hey Lamar, you married the FAT ONE!"

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair on Gasol won't work well

[Libri]

Ian is in.

[crc21209]

OMG Ian! :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Ian?????

[Refocus]

Ian sighting!

[BanditHiro]

[biziofromdowntown]

[ffadicted]

[timtonymanu]

Holy shit Ian.

[DPG21920]

Tha f*ck is Ian doing in? Blair will come right back in.

[biziofromdowntown]

[timtonymanu]

Pop ur such a tease.

[DPG21920]

[quentin_compson]

Mahinmi sighting. :wow

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

[crc21209]

Wow....you call a foul and then you take it away? Fuck you ref...pussy..

[Chieflion]

Ian bringing some toughness inside.

[lefty]

Salvatore asshole

[timtonymanu]

Manu's passes are fuckin horrible today.

[spectator]

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck Salvatore

[blkroadrunners]

Lol, Ian sits right back down.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lmfao....pop just fucking with ian nvfm

[biziofromdowntown]

Not good day 4 Manu

[vander]

SA 10:50
Manu Ginobili missed Free Throw,
Blocked by Shannon Brown

[Refocus]

lol abc tried to bleep out Blair yelling "FUCK!"

[crc21209]

:lol GaSOFT!

[ffadicted]

holy fuck whats gotten into bonner

[crc21209]

3 seconds....more like 10 seconds...damn.

[DPG21920]

Gino really needs to step it up. Spurs hanging tough despite him today.

[crc21209]

Manu with another dumbass pass...

[Spurs Brazil]

Who is worst: Bogans or mason?

[BanditHiro]

come on manu damn

[timtonymanu]

Come on Manu, wake up!

[exstatic]

Fuck Salvatore

Yeah, he's up to his jaw in Stern's dick, as usual.

[Johnny RIngo]

Lakers must be in a pretty bad funk for us to be only down 2 with the way we're playing.

[crc21209]

Who is worst: Bogans or mason?

Both are equally shitty..:lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Who is worst: Bogans or mason?

they are just both terrible on the nba level

[biziofromdowntown]

That wasn't 3 second, that was a Offensive Foul!

[Libri]

Lol, Ian sits right back down.

His day's work is done. :lol

[exstatic]

Who is worst: Bogans or mason?

Mason, and it isn't close. Bogans is at least challenging Odom.

[quentin_compson]

Lakers don't look very sharp, in my opinion.

[Man In Black]

That pass was a kicked ball that the refs DID NOT CALL. Open your damn eyes!

[peskypesky]

i think the Spurs are doing damn good so far. hanging with the Lakers. even if we lose, as long as its respectable, i'm confident.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Lakers don't look very sharp, in my opinion.

niether do the spurs :(

[peskypesky]

Lakers don't look very sharp, in my opinion.

no they don't. true.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Manu will step it up. Just wait

[siraulo23]

i think manu is showing some signs of fatigue~

but good job staying close spurs, and duncan looks good

[Fundamental]

spurs need a point guard on the court. we are lucky that this is still a close game.

[DPG21920]

I know the Spurs are only down 2, but if they keep playing like this, the lead will balloon. They need to calm down. Especially Ginobili. They got lucky so far, so they need to turn it around now.

[ohmwrecker]

Lakers don't look very sharp, in my opinion.
It's too bad we can't take advantage of that.

[Johnny RIngo]

That pass was a kicked ball that the refs DID NOT CALL. Open your damn eyes!

There was also the foul on Brown that was called a block.

[crc21209]

Manu with the reverse! :tu

[ffadicted]

Gino beauty

[crc21209]

My god an offensive foul on Kobe I can't believe my eyes!

[DPG21920]

Good defense by Bogans, great finish by Manu.

[peskypesky]

"Parker has a dominant personality offensively". Hmm, nice way of saying he's a ball-hog.

[Fundamental]

:lol @ kobe

[Trimble87]

Kobe must not have finished the reach around... offensive foul?

[blkroadrunners]

Damn, that was a close block.

[biziofromdowntown]

OF on Kobe!

[peskypesky]

nice ball movement!

[crc21209]

Bogans 3333333333333

[biziofromdowntown]

Lol Bonner passes so well!

[DPG21920]

Bogans playing well. So is Bonner. The bench is doing a good job.

[Fundamental]

Bogans?? !!!!!

[vander]

My god an offensive foul on Kobe I can't believe my eyes!

stop the game! get Stern on the line! this can't be allowed to happen!

[Spurs Brazil]

Bogans 33333333333333333

[blkroadrunners]

Wow, Kobe. Wow.

[WildcardManu]

Liking our bench play.

[crc21209]

Kobe WAY OFF!

[DPG21920]

Great defense right there by the entire team.

[Libri]

very good Spurs defense

[peskypesky]

it is true, Bonner has been putting the ball on the floor lately and doing well.

[Refocus]

This line-up is doing surprisingly well. Woot

[biziofromdowntown]

very D Bogans!

[ohmwrecker]

OF on Kobe!
Travel.

[DPG21920]

Damn Manu, that was a sick split.

[peskypesky]

fucking Ginobili is da man!!!

[crc21209]

Ladies and gentlemen...one of the worst players in NBA history...Luke Walton! :lol

[Xylus]

Oh shit, Luke Walton is on the floor. Spurs are screwed.

[ffadicted]

I wonder what's up with Gino's FT in the past couple games

[crc21209]

Refs sucking off Kobe...

[Xylus]

They called a foul on that? Ginobili was standing still.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wtf?luke walton is playing?

[timtonymanu]

God Laker fan and their constant MVP chants.

[blkroadrunners]

Stalker women look, it's Luke Walton!!

[crc21209]

[spurs10]

The Machine!! Keep him out there please!!!

[Spursfanfromafar]

[crc21209]

That's considered a foul on Mason? Hmmm....

[Spurs Brazil]

TD J, good play

[WildcardManu]

keep feeding ball to the Manu stopper

[Spursfanfromafar]

RJ missed an open 3 and created an easy rebound and drive for Kobe. Come on, RJ! Pull up your effing socks.

[blkroadrunners]

Sasha Vujacic is as bad as Keith Bogans. Atleast Bogans plays for what he is paid..but VujaBitch? :)

Same w/ Walton.

[spurs10]

Rhetorical question?:toast

[crc21209]

Good Timeout by Pop :tu

[01Snake]

[FlAVaK]

Who is worst: Bogans or mason?
Vujacic :downspin:

[CFH]

[BanditHiro]

Does RJ know there is a game going on?

he did early on then he went to the bench

[Spursfanfromafar]

Just got home, how are our guys looking???

Pretty good. A bit sloppy, but Duncan is playing fine, Manu is being Manu and Matt Bonner is the surprise of the game. I am seeing a win - will be very tough.. but in the sights..

[crc21209]

Announcers: "Mmmmm Kobe...mmmmmm...."

[CFH]

Pretty good. A bit sloppy, but Duncan is playing fine, Manu is being Manu and Matt Bonner is the surprise of the game. I am seeing a win - will be very tough.. but in the sights..

Nice, get this win. :toast

[CFH]

Damn Hill made the shot but paid the price, hope his knee is okay.

[ffadicted]
