Spurs @ Suns Game Blog...

[DesignatedT]

no bogans in the first quarter? thats odd.

[Spurs Brazil]

What Mason have done to deserve playing time? I can't believe. He's the worst player on the team. Gee should get more minutes than him

[Refocus]

Mason -10 :wow

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

:lmao Bonner Amundson

[ElNono]

Gino needs to be on Nash... At this point he's the best perimeter defender we have...
Also, why aren't we taking advantage of Amare's foul trouble? Duncan should be out there now

[lefty]

why do they have to suck nash's dick he is old and Canadian
So much that he can't turn RJ off right now

See what I did here? :D

[Thompson]

LOLOLOL omg did anyone see the Bonner and Almundson collision? I keep rewinding and watching, I cant stop laughing

Freaking ESPN wouldn't replay it. What happened? Just an accident?

[dbestpro]

Mason is not the dog of the first quarter, it is Bonner. He has to do a better job of rebounding and boxing out.

[alchemist]

Well, he was kinda busy playing good defense on Steven Nash and forcing a shot. Someone else has to get the board in that situation.
That's no excuse for letting someone steal that from you, I expect a lot from Bonner I guess that's why it's disappointing :lol

[anonoftheinternets]

What Mason have done to deserve playing time? I can't believe. He's the worst player on the team. Gee should get more minutes than him

i guess we are all hoping law of averages cataches up.. but he is beating the odds ... comes in botches defensive rotations .. misses wide open threes.... just another day in the office

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

idk nash always seems to be more aggressive when he plays the spurs

[LakerHater]

lol, blair going reverse when he could've dunked it from the front lol
He does that shit WAYYY too much, someone needs to tell'em to go up strong!!!!

[Sec24Row7]

That collision with bonnor was payback for an elbow he gave during the nash shot.

[Ice009]

Mason Jr. HAS BEEN HORRENDOUS.

He is so bad I want a rookie Garret Temple out there instead any day of the week.

I reckon Malik can get to the RIM at will against the Suns defense.

Why is Mason Jr. playing?

[The Cougar]

lol pop hates the interview during the game shit

[Man In Black]

Watch the rebound block out on Amundson from Bonner if you have rewind capability. Matt got him high on the chest with the right elbow. That's why Lou went after Matt with that "bump".

[LakerHater]

Manu with a T!?!?!?!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

camera angle is different i think

Yeah, I thought about that. I think it's also the colour scheme - light colours mean more space.

I wonder if the NBA measures all the courts before the season to make sure no-one tries to gain an advantage? :lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Wow, that was weird to see Gentry and Popovich having a buddy moment. Maybe that'll work better than D'antoni's being an asshole to every coach he plays against strategy.

[dbestpro]

ESPN makes it sound like the Suns are up by 20.

[alchemist]

Mason left the corner guys open several times.

[BanditHiro]

omfg mason

[DesignatedT]

wtf mason. did he just turn it over. just cut this fucking bum

[CFH]

A TO to start off the quarter, yuck...

[Death In June]

Wow....

[timtonymanu]

Get Mason out. Fuck this guy. he does nothing.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason is a fucking joke

[Shastafarian]

Why does Mason play?

[diego]

if rj bonner and hill complement the big 3 like they have in this stretch, I really like our chances in the PO, even if blair and dyess dont pick it up. I hope pop can give those 8 the bulk of the minutes.

[tothrowed]

mason is gettin killed out there if mason plays alot in the playoffs ima slap somebbody

[magui86770]

did the spurs leave their brains back in sac town?!?!

[ElNono]

Mason making barbosa look good... Kill me now

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

lol pop hates the interview during the game shit

So does Jax. And rightfully so. So do I. It's fatuous and inane.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

God dammit Barbosa is so fuckin dumb.

[DesignatedT]

:lmao amundson.

[lefty]

Almuson SOB

[Shastafarian]

lol sweet call refs

[LakerHater]

Rebound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

This lineup blows.

[Death In June]

What the fuck is this lineup....

[DesignatedT]

put duncan back in. this team has lost all composure. get it together manu

[DPG21920]

Pony Tail has changed the game.

[ffadicted]

gomddan

[lefty]

Now I know why ESPN hates the Spurs


Because Pop make their courtside reporters look stupid every single time.

[dbestpro]

Blair and Bonner are sucking wind.

[CFH]

TD and 1

[DesignatedT]

timmy and 1

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

:lmao fronting Tim Duncan

[Libri]

oh yeah, Tim and 1

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and one

[BanditHiro]

can they make a freethrow

[TJastal]

Mason Jr. HAS BEEN HORRENDOUS.

He is so bad I want a rookie Garret Temple out there instead any day of the week.

I reckon Malik can get to the RIM at will against the Suns defense.

Why is Mason Jr. playing?

lol I love listening to spurs fans whine and cry about mason, too funny

[CFH]

How come the and 1s aren't dropping???

[timtonymanu]

can these guys make their fuckin ft's?

[DPG21920]

3-8 FT's. :lol Frye w/ the garbage.

[Death In June]

No more mason, plz.

[anonoftheinternets]

lol wtf .. anything they throw is falling in.

[DesignatedT]

mason getting thrown around like a rag doll. this guy sucks dick. i cant take it anymore

[HarlemHeat37]

Channing Frye fucking sucks, but of course he has to kill the Spurs..

[tp2021]

They need to hit their fucking free throws. It makes me sick to see a whole professional basketball team missing FT after FT

[dbestpro]

I would say Mason on Frye is a mismatch.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Frye has a huge wingspan!

[Ice009]

What the fuck is mason jr still on the fucking court for.

What in the hell pop.

Fail. Fail. Fail.

[Sisk]

fuck. they can't miss

[urunobili]

Suns about to fuck us for good...

[DPG21920]

Bon Bon

[CFH]

Bonner on the drive.

[lefty]

Bonnito!!!!

[anonoftheinternets]

lol mason plays better defense when hes on the floor.

[DesignatedT]

good aggressive move temple.

[CFH]

Temple to the line.

[BanditHiro]

look at that mason falls by himself embarrasing

[ffadicted]

lol temple taking off from the 3 point line, thank god he god fouled

[itzsoweezee]

roger mason is singlehanded destroying san antonio. what the fuck is this guy doing?

[Libri]

That would have been a sick dunk by Temple.

[DPG21920]

This a b2b and the Spurs are still in it. Suns are at home and have good energy. This is to be expected. I am happy with where the Spurs are at.

Very nice aggressive play by Temple.

[anonoftheinternets]

hilarious .. but i think we weathred whatever crap phx threw out there with our worst rotation featuring blari, temple, mason, bonner ... we should be okay.

[anonoftheinternets]

btw love twmple

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

temple was so gonna stuff that shit...

[alchemist]

lol I love listening to spurs fans whine and cry about mason, too funny
Mason has brought nothing to this game. :wakeup

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

lol I love listening to spurs fans whine and cry about mason, too funny

Why? Supposedly, you are a Spurs fan, and Mason has been poor. Hairston should be taking his minutes.

Dragic is lightyears ahead of Mason at this point.

[tothrowed]

temple needs to play more fuck you mason

[FeZZy]

wooohoo

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Seriously? Manu, Temple, Bonner, Mason, Butler? How are we not down double figures? WTF Pop?

[superjames1992]

How can Mason get so many minutes?
Because Hill is out.

[Ice009]

lol I love listening to spurs fans whine and cry about mason, too funny

Mason Jr. should be cut and you should be cut off this message board. You both bring nothing to the table.

[DesignatedT]

mason sucks so fucking bad all i can do is laugh now. why is this guy on the floor. he makes bogans look like kevin durant.

[siraulo23]

mason -13

FML

[Spurs Brazil]

lol I love listening to spurs fans whine and cry about mason, too funny

Me too, how Spurs fans can say so many bad things for a guy who has been help us win all those championships..

:rolleyes

MASON SUCKS

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This a b2b and the Spurs are still in it. Suns are at home and have good energy. This is to be expected. I am happy with where the Spurs are at.

Very nice aggressive play by Temple.

The real test will come in the second half.

[Death In June]

RJ's tattoo looks really shitty. You'd think he'd be able to afford a better artist.

[mazerrackham]

omg, MAKE A FREE THROW

[tp2021]

Fucking free throws man!

[CFH]

Still missing free throws, come on guys...

[BanditHiro]

fuck fuck fuck can't make free throws

[DPG21920]

These FT's are killing me.

[DesignatedT]

3/10 from the free throw line.... really spurs?????????????? really

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

:lol do yall still like Temple?

[timtonymanu]

were gonna lose this because of free throws.

[BanditHiro]

Hack-a-Spur would be a good strategy tonight

[TIMMYD!]

3 of 10 from the line, this team is a fucking disgrace at FTs.

[Sisk]

better start hitting our FT's

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Who's better Barbosa or Mason? IMO Mason has the edge.

[DPG21920]

:lol Barbosa.

[CFH]

Bonner going to the line for 3.

[ElNono]

Free throws... Gotta start hitting them NOW

[DesignatedT]

thank you barbosa. bailed out.

[Josh810]

:lol do yall still like Temple?you're seriously saying that because he missed 2 FT's one time?

[TJastal]

Mason Jr. should be cut and you should be cut off this message board. You both bring nothing to the table.

What do you bring to the table other than constant bellyaching and crying?

[Sisk]

good make up pass by temple!

bonner, make these 3 FT's

[BanditHiro]

At least Bonner will make his FT's.


fuck your jinx

[CFH]

And only hits 1/3...

[alchemist]

crofl free points

[TIMMYD!]

4-13 from the line. Fuck this!

[DPG21920]

You have got to be kidding me.

[ned_ryerson]

hey where is bogans?

[Death In June]

Oh....my...fuck

[DesignatedT]

:pctoss FREE THROWSSSSSSSS

[Spurs Brazil]

4-13FTs

[DPG21920]

You guys still like Amare?

[HarlemHeat37]

9 missed free throws, ridiculous..

Bonner needs to be benched, he doesn't have it tonight..

Temple looks shaky right now, needs to stay poised..

[dbestpro]

Bonner is his classic big game choker.

[Death In June]

lol barbosa.

[DPG21920]

Barbosa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DOK is going to go nuts

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wtf man bonner WTshit!!

[Spurminator]

Man Barbosa sucks.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Wow Barbosa is beyond terrible.

[CFH]

TD and 1.

[BanditHiro]

did some fan say "you are stinking up the whole game"

[anonoftheinternets]

lol suns are so dumb. But they have boundless engry, stupid foul by dragic and barbosa for hte and1s. If spurs had hit their FTs this game wudnt even be close.

[siraulo23]

lmao another and 1

and make yuor freebies spurs

[TJastal]

Pop should be pairing Mason with Parker, where Mason doesn't have the ball in his hands much, he's a catch and shoot specialist and Parker is a drive and kick specialist.

[TIMMYD!]

Why are we not down more?

5-14 from the line.

I mean come on.

[duncan228]

Duncan hits a FT! :spin

:lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Barbosa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DOK is going to go nuts


He cemented it with that great foul on Duncan.

[LakerHater]

Mason again!!????

[Chieflion]

did some fan say "you are stinking up the whole game"

To Barbosa: You stinking up the whole game.

Nothing but the truth. Was that DoK there?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

can someone make FTs ?? what the heck?

[DPG21920]

Nash can just flat out shoot.

[mazerrackham]

never seen a phantom travel before...

[itzsoweezee]

god you're worthless boner

[Libri]

damn

[alchemist]

timmy come on man

[the crimson blur]

That was not even close to traveling. He didn't move his feet at all..

[Spurs Brazil]

piece of shit is back

[DesignatedT]

no idea how were only down 1.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

nash continues his rape as usual

[Ice009]

Good pass Temple. Tim fumbled it.

[dbestpro]

The inconsistant play of Bonner and Mason is killing us.

[DPG21920]

How is that not a charge?

[anonoftheinternets]

i cant bleive that is not offensive foul

[mazerrackham]

wow, and then bs blocking foul, good job in the last 30 seconds refs

[DesignatedT]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME......... wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

He was there by a mile... :pctoss

i cant take this shit tonight

[Jeremy]

no idea how were only down 1.

'Cause Suns aren't playing well at all.

[anonoftheinternets]

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss mason hits a three

[CFH]

Mason hits a 3. :lol

[mazerrackham]

wow, Mason actually hit something

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Mason > Barbosa

[Libri]

Mason 3

good rebound by Dice

[TIMMYD!]

Mason's first three in what, 20 games?

[DesignatedT]

good job mason lol

[DPG21920]

Dice with a good game besides the bad passing.

[TJastal]

Tim travelled because he didn't want to pass it to Mason.

:lmao

I suppose Mason is the reason you can't find a girlfriend in the last 20 years

[alchemist]

great shot, then fucks it up with a terrible foul

[DPG21920]

Mason > Barbosa

It looks like Barbosa needs a change of scenery.

[dbestpro]

Dice has looked good on the boards tonight.

[LakerHater]

Mason > Barbosa
I dunno, it could be a push!

[tp2021]

Fucking shit! Stupid fucking foul Roger. They can't generate any damn momentum

[Sisk]

mason made a 3??

[Spursfanfromafar]

garrett Temple is playing very nice defense. Surprise.this rookie.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

no idea how were only down 1.


http://www.bballcity.com/images/2006/leandro-barbosa-med.jpg

[BanditHiro]

:lmao

I suppose Mason is the reason you can't find a girlfriend in the last 20 years

stfu Mason is the reason Pop chooses to play Mason tons of minutes

[01Snake]

Free throws and turnovers: If they were under control we would be up by double digits!

[tothrowed]

mason wow now when is the next 3 made from you gonna happen

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

It looks like Barbosa needs a change of scenery.


You mean like try out for the wheelchair league?

[pawe]

Mason did something good then pissed it all away with a stupid foul

[ffadicted]

Mason with a good three, makes dumb ass play and fouls at the other end, ugh

[NRHector]

We can win this shit come on Spurs

[jestersmash]

Ginobili taking it easy until the 4th quarter. I'm fine with that to be honest.

We just need to weather the storm.

[Shastafarian]

Mason's first three in what, 20 games?

He has hit 10 threes in his last 15 games.

[dbestpro]

at least RJ is not the whipping boy anymore.

[BanditHiro]

rofl gay coach

[CubanSucks]

Great, I just turned on the game..only to hear the voice of mark fuckin jackson. ANYONE BUT MARK JACKSON

[pawe]

Shit that suns PNR cant be guarded

[ElNono]

They have nobody that can stop Duncan

[DesignatedT]

The problem is, we don't want to have a close game till the 4th..the Suns have too many weapons.

on a b2b on the road? ill take a close game into the 4th anyday. were not blowing anyone out tonight.

[DPG21920]

It's like the Spurs don't want PHX to feel bad, so they miss FT's.

[CFH]

RJ still hot.

[DesignatedT]

give the ball to duncan in the post. they cant stop him

[DPG21920]

When RJ just steps into jump shots and does not hesitate, he is money.

[Beaverfuzz]

GO SPURS GO :flag:

[Sisk]

mason is so frustrating..

[Beaverfuzz]

Roger Mason en fuego.

[CFH]

Mason with another 3.

[DesignatedT]

mason 3. leaving him open.

[LakerHater]

WTF, MAson!

[Libri]

What's got into Mason? lol

[pawe]

yay mason another 3

[DPG21920]

I hate these games from Mason. Spurs really need his shooting, like last year. But it is fools gold.

[Sisk]

TP floater!

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TP!

[DPG21920]

Great, controlled closeout by RJ on Hill.

[TIMMYD!]

He has hit 10 threes in his last 15 games.

That's sarcasm my friend, sarcasm.

[alchemist]

mason's foot was on the line I believe, expect a point to be deducted.

[anonoftheinternets]

wow .. suns are playing the suns tonight

[ElNono]

Here comes Manu... Let's finish the half strong

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

If the Suns are tied right now given how badly the Spurs have played, they aren't winning this game.

[Ice009]

Nice floater from TP a minute ago.

[DesignatedT]

If we can keep this close..Manu should be able to take this game over at the end.

[TIMMYD!]

FTs are going to be our downfall tonight, if we have one.

[TJastal]

Roger and Tony in the 2nd unit = perfect pairing

[DPG21920]

If the Suns are tied right now given how badly the Spurs have played, they aren't winning this game.

If the Spurs keep missing FT's and the Suns can keep their energy up, the Spurs will be in for a tough game. I am happy with the score all things considered, but the Suns are playing well.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

spurs offense is starting to get into a flow :hungry:

[mazerrackham]

definitely gonna be a point taken off when the game comes back, Mason was definitely on the line

[anonoftheinternets]

Roger and Parker in the 2nd unit = perfect pairing

roger parker duncan bonner + ()

makes sense drive and kick, or post up double team.

[dbestpro]

Strange game. Mason out of the dog house for now. Bonner still in the dog house. I guess Manu is waiting for the 4th quarter to take over.

[LakerHater]

Damn,minus 1!

[8FOR!3]

Congrats to Mason, it's nice to see him play like his playing tonight, I know he goes out in gives his all, shots just haven't been falling this year for him.

And he shows up to practice. I mean, he might only miss one practice this year. It ain't about that. It's not about that at all. But I mean, it's easy to talk about, it's easy to sum it up when we talk about practice. I mean, listen here, Mason's supposed to be the three point shooting role player and you're talking about practice. Not a game, not the game where he gives 110% every nighttt....

sorry about that...

[DesignatedT]

did they take a point off?

[Libri]

mason's foot was on the line I believe, expect a point to be deducted.

I think you're right, I only see one three for Mason.

[TJastal]

about time Roger!

He felt bad you've been single all these years

[DesignatedT]

mason :lol

[CFH]

Mason hitting shots, wtf?!?!

[ffadicted]

Mason feeling good tonight??

[Beaverfuzz]

Feed me the ball seymour, roger mason baby!

[LakerHater]

Mason?

[mazerrackham]

whoa, is Mason finally got his shot back? no way...

[Refocus]

Mason playing like a guy on an NBA team.

[anonoftheinternets]

wow mason really turning it on now.... :) finally .. im starting to get my hopes up....and decent hustle too...depsite losing it...

[LakerHater]

Mason!

[8FOR!3]

Mason's shot looks so weird tonight, but hey, it's dropping so I'm not gonna complain.

[CFH]

Oh Mason...

[superjames1992]

LOL, Mason.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nelson may have won all those games, but his winning % is shite (just over 50%), and he DOESN'T HAVE A RING! :lmao

[Spurs Brazil]

small ball

[phxspurfan]

Alright, Mason's got rhythm toni---*turnover*


at least he's got his shot going

[ElNono]

As usual, Mason follows a bucket with a TO

[Ice009]

FUCKING MASON JR.

Every good thing he fucks up later.

[LakerHater]

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Beaverfuzz]

wtf Manu?

[Sisk]

shit fans in phoenix.. no fuckin' class

[mazerrackham]

no..........duncan, nooooooooooo no..........ginobili..........noooooooooooooo

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol small ball

[Josh810]

Stay classy, Phoenix.

[ffadicted]

Pop's face = wtf :lol

[duncan228]

Not breathing...

[TJastal]

uh oh.......

[DesignatedT]

phoenix fans cheering when duncans on the ground... what pieces of shit.

[CFH]

Hope Timmy and Manu are alright...

[superjames1992]

God damn it...

I think Duncan just hit his head, though, but we don't need any of that happening.
