Spurs @ Suns Game Blog...

[Sec24Row7]

Shouldn't this be up?

[TDomination]

I can't stop looking at your signature so i vote that this should be the Blog

[xellos88330]

Noone wants to jinx. LOL!

[Sec24Row7]

Hah... yeah... it's not tits and ass like 3/4 of them... but Larry is shiny :)

[DesignatedT]

:lol take the question mark off

[DesignatedT]

Hubie is doing the Jazz/Rockets game. Looks like were stuck with Van Gundy and Marc Jackson. kill me now.

[Spursmania]

What time is the game and on Direct TV what channel? I'm surfing and I can't find it.

[rwb]

WB Channel 35 on DirecTV. Pregame is on right now.

[DesignatedT]

What time is the game and on Direct TV what channel? I'm surfing and I can't find it.

espn? or are yo u talking about local broadcast.

[boutons_deux]

Nuggs, Jazz, Suns should all fall to 28L,

while the Spurs and Thunder hold steady at 29L

Amazing.

[jestersmash]

Nuggs, Jazz, Suns should all fall to 28L,

while the Spurs and Thunder hold steady at 29L

Amazing.


You know we're basically the underdog for this game though, right? Suns haven't played until Saturday, Spurs will be playing 3 games in 4 nights, and this is on the back end of a back to back.

This game has loss written all over it for the spurs.

[DesignatedT]

Nuggs, Jazz, Suns should all fall to 28L,

while the Spurs and Thunder hold steady at 29L

Amazing.

makes this game tonight extremely important. id rather the thunder fall to 30L tonight. but that isn't looking to likely.

[jestersmash]

DEN 88, OKC 91 4 minutes left to go in the 4th.

denver can still win

[jestersmash]

And you bet I'm going for denver. I want more losses for OKC. I'm not looking at the 2-5 spot, I'm looking to create separation between us and OKC for the 6th spot.

[lefty]

We are gonna lose

2nd night of B2B games; although in TP's case, it will only be his 2nd game in a long time; he should rip Nash again

[jestersmash]

Our only hope is TP gaining his championship stride again in 2 games, but I doubt it.

Don't mean to be a negative nanny either, but I feel it's a mistake to have undeserved high hopes for this game. I think we lose this game, win friday, and split the games between the two remaining over .500 teams (and beat the other scrub team we play, i forget who)

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol how often does the first double header finish early :lmao

[DesignatedT]

Nice to see Nelly get the record tonight..

[jestersmash]

Denver OKC tied at 94 with just over a minute left. game time out at the moment.

[Spurs Brazil]

Thunder-Nuggets tie at 94, 90 seconds to go

[jestersmash]

denver ball, OKC didn't score

50 sec left

[DesignatedT]

i think a nuggets win would be better.

[jestersmash]

billups fouled on a drive

[jestersmash]

billups shoots, DEN 95, OKC 94

[jestersmash]

DEN 96 OKC 94, OKC ball 50 sec left

[BanditHiro]

i think a nuggets win would be better.

a denver lost would be better since they have less losses and we will have a chance to pass them

[jestersmash]

durant jumper missed, DEN ball, 30 sec left

[jestersmash]

shot clock runs out, DEN 96 OKC 94, 15 sec left, OKC ball

[jestersmash]

highlights, highlights, time out currently

[jestersmash]

KD getsw the ball

[lefty]

How has that thread turned into a Denver-OKC game blog?

[NRHector]

I have a feeling Tony is going to have a big game tonight :flag:

[jestersmash]

KD shoots a runner, misses, DEN ball, collison fouls DEN with 7 seconds left

DEN to go through free throw line up 2

[TIMMYD!]

Temple is starting.

[ffadicted]

OKC fail to close out a close game two nights in a row...

[Spurs Brazil]

Nuggets will win

[Chieflion]

I hope RJ feels at home in Arizona. Game on!

[jestersmash]

DEN up 98, 94, OKC ball with 7 seconds left

[CFH]

Suns fans already booing Manu. :lol

[DesignatedT]

a denver lost would be better since they have less losses and we will have a chance to pass them

we want to build as much of a lead against OKC as possible. we want to avoid the 8 spot more than anything. We should be a lot more concerned with staying out of 8 then trying to climb to 3. because honestly we still have some tough games ahead of us.

[Chieflion]

Dice, you pissing me off with this crap.

[jestersmash]

DEN wins

[duncan228]

I've got to remember to breathe when Duncan hits the floor. :lol

[jestersmash]

We may now resume to the game at hand, spurs-suns.

OKC loss gives us breathing room to lose this game against the suns and still be in the 6th spot

[CFH]

Dice J.

[Death In June]

Dice with a terrible sequence...turnover, out-rebounded, and commits the foul. At least he makes his jumper though.

[DesignatedT]

Rj!

[CFH]

RJ hits the J.

[baseline bum]

Nice shot by Dick.

[CFH]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[ffadicted]

Great board and dish

[Sisk]

nice assist temple

[lefty]

Ginooo

Nice cut

[baseline bum]

Damn, it's like shootaround for Manu when he goes to the rim against Phoenix. :lol

[TIMMYD!]

Dice is going to have to hit every open jumper to have a better chance of winning.

[ffadicted]

Ginobili off to a good start, good news

[baseline bum]

Damn, it's like shootaround for Manu when he goes to the rim against Phoenix. :lol

CROFL. Right as I post that, he does it again. :lmao

[lefty]

If that's not Manu circa 2005, then I don't know who that guy is

[CFH]

RJ and 1.

[ffadicted]

Jeffy AND1!

[jestersmash]

Thank you rj

[DesignatedT]

Rj and 1 !!!!!!!

[TIMMYD!]

RJ and Manu with good starts, 4 points each.

[Death In June]

RJ starting extremely well.

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ and one!

[baseline bum]

Dick's getting it done early. I hope he has lasting power tonight.

[Chieflion]

Looks like both Manu and RJ are ready to ball tonight.

[lefty]

Manu 2005 !!!!!!!!

[TIMMYD!]

Manu with a great o-board.

[ffadicted]

:lmao Ginobili @ the rim

[DesignatedT]

nice manu :lol

[baseline bum]

LMAO Manu with the tip-in over Nash.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

these are the suns they play a lot of defense :)

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuu tip

[CFH]

Manu can't be stopped!!! :lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

Manu 3 easy ones!

[TIMMYD!]

Dick is penetrating at will!

I still can't keep from laughing everytime someone says this. :lol

[Refocus]

God, i love Manu.

[Sisk]

Richard starting strong tonight, good sign

[ffadicted]

Oh come on Dice, close out on that shit

[lefty]

That Rogaine shit is some powerful shit

I`m gonna buy some and own the local playground

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i am impressed with temple thus far :tu

[DesignatedT]

gotta get duncan rollin now.

[RedRaider]

We need Jefferson to play big tonight

[Death In June]

Oh come on Dice, close out on that shitSrsly. And it'd be nice if he put some effort into going for the loose ball as well.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I've got a good feeling about tonight. I think we're gonna break Suns-fan hearts yet again...

[TIMMYD!]

i am impressed with temple thus far :tu

So am I, his ball handling skills aren't that bad and knows how to set players up.

[HarlemHeat37]

I hate when the Spurs overplay Nash..

[jestersmash]

The key will be stopping stoudemire. We can't have him knocking down that midrange J.

[TIMMYD!]

gotta get duncan rollin now.

Tim usually takes his time and tries not to disrupt the flow when everyone around him is playing well.

He'll pick it up.

[lefty]

The only guy who can stop Manu right now is that dude who is friend with bats:

http://i38.tinypic.com/14cb4w9.jpg

[cheney212]

"Im Amare and i wear a lime green arm sleeve"

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Looks like J-Rich chugged a 40 ouncer before the game.

[dbestpro]

Temple has played decent D on Nash, which is saying something with how crafty he is.

[Sec24Row7]

The key will be stopping stoudemire. We can't have him knocking down that midrange J.

We beat the Suns when Amare goes nuts... not when Nash does... key is stop nash...

[anonoftheinternets]

temple is impressing.

[TIMMYD!]

I hate when the Spurs overplay Nash..

So do I, he always finds Stoudemire for that mid-range J, which he makes like 70% of the time.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

BTW, most Suns fans REALLY hate us. I went to Phoenix in 2007 to see the Suns play someone (not us), didn't even wear my Spurs jersey (actually, had it on under my jumper), and when I started chatting with people and mentioned that I was a Spurs fan most of them stopped talking to me, and two tried to pick me, even though I was being nice and not in any way goading or offensive. Sensitive fuckers! :lol

[CFH]

Ugly pass by Dice.

[DesignatedT]

:lol dice

[dbestpro]

I hate unforced turnovers.

[itzsoweezee]

keep attacking the rim and the sons will fold

[TIMMYD!]

Airballllllllllll

[Chieflion]

What the hell is McDyess doing out there?

[DesignatedT]

parker set up manu perfectly.

[duncan228]

BTW, most Suns fans REALLY hate us.

I'd hate the Spurs if I was a Suns fan. :lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wtf was that dice? lmfao

[CFH]

Duncan and 1.

[DesignatedT]

timmy and1

vintage duncan!

[TIMMYD!]

Tim with his And 1.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and one!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I hate unforced turnovers.

Really? I love them! :rolleyes

[HarlemHeat37]

Tony's moving the ball around very well so far, as expected..

[RedRaider]

Duncan lets go!

[ffadicted]

what the fuck kind of defense was that....

[dbestpro]

What have they put in Parkers kool-aide. He looks like a pass first point guard.

[DesignatedT]

wtf kind of call is that.

[DPG21920]

Where is the foul?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

td !!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop will be mad at that one

[DesignatedT]

:lmao mason.

i just cant believe this guy.

[CFH]

How did Dice lose that rebound???

[TIMMYD!]

Dice just can't pass for shit, that's like his second shitty pass.

[DPG21920]

For a vet, Dice makes some poor decisions.

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF with Dice

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I'd hate the Spurs if I was a Suns fan. :lol


IMO people shouldn't hate the Spurs as much as the pisshole defense the Suns play against them.

[Sec24Row7]

Nice rotation Mason... Geez :(

[HarlemHeat37]

Mason comes on and the team falls asleep..I'm not blaming that on Mason at all, it wasn't his fault in any way, I just find it funny that something bad happens when he steps on the floor..

As I write that, Mason misses a rotation against Hill, luckily he missed..

McDyess should never do ANYTHING offensively other than catch and shoot..

[the crimson blur]

Tony looks faster than any other point this season. Lot of rust, but I see a speedier Parker.

Tim looks fantastic. Fantastic. I expect a big game.

[DPG21920]

Why does Mason continue to get time? I really can't figure it out.

[Chieflion]

How many turnovers Dice had by himself already?

[ffadicted]

wtf zone defense lmao suns... jefferson wide open underneath

[lefty]

Rjjjjjjjj

[TIMMYD!]

Oh, RJ And1 dunk!

[CFH]

RJ and 1, damn that looked fucked. :lol

[itzsoweezee]

damn, didn't know mason had a torn ligament in his hand. that explains a lot.

[DesignatedT]

RJ slam. yes sir

[lefty]

Dick in the hole !!!!

[siraulo23]

Rj and !!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DPG21920]

RJ Lucky Beast Move

[ThePop]

Rj!

[BanditHiro]

why is it every time rmj misses a three the other team makes a run?

[lefty]

Nice and 0

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jefferson looks lively tonight.

So does The Apostrophe.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

So how is it Jefferson was so open right under the hoop. You can see better defense than that in a 24 hour fitness pick up game.

[DesignatedT]

damn, didn't know mason had a torn ligament in his hand. that explains a lot.

since the new jersey game... hes been playin like garbage all season.

[CFH]

Still cold from 3 I see...

[DesignatedT]

gotta gaurd frye out there

[lefty]

Amare for DPOY

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Wow Amare that was beyond retarded.

[Shastafarian]

ROFL richardson flops but the call goes against Amoron.

[TIMMYD!]

What is Bonner's 3-point % since he came back?

[Sisk]

Take that dick, amar'e

[jestersmash]

we NEED to capitalize with stoudemire on the bench

need need need

[ffadicted]

FUcking suns killing us from 3 point land

[anonoftheinternets]

ugh mason ...

[lefty]

Nice jinx ESPN

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'd hate the Spurs if I was a Suns fan. :lol

True enough, but they hate Spurs fans as well, even if they are being nice. That was what I found unfair. :lol

[CFH]

Mason hit a shot, woo!!!

[DesignatedT]

better fucking hit that mason. wide open

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK Mason late again

[lefty]

Mason ??????

[baseline bum]

Wow. Mason hit a shot.

[BanditHiro]

dammit fucking three never goes in

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i swear mason gave richardson that three

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck, they can't miss from 3.

[Refocus]

Why is it so hard to make a wide open shot !?!? aghgh

[LakerHater]

Man, I dont have a good feeling bout this game!

[HarlemHeat37]

Mason makes Nash look like Bruce Bowen defensively..

TP is too unselfish right now..

[timtonymanu]

same old story. we miss open shots. they make theirs.

why is no one closing out the shooters?

[DPG21920]

This is a tough game. Suns look crisp on offense. Can't give up 3's to this team. Make them put it on the ground.

[dbestpro]

I sure would like to see Bonner provide something positive.

[alchemist]

TP playing TP basketball, or not.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

TP looks slow

[Sec24Row7]

Yeah Tony is looking tentative... not pushing it... still looks two steps slow...it's gonna be a while before he gets up to speed...

[tothrowed]

im getting tired of this bullshit the one common factor when the spurs start struggling and the other team goes on a rin is mason fuck mason dont ever let this nigga see another minute

[itzsoweezee]

damn, the bench is absolutely horrible.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I can't really explain it, but it just seems like the Suns aren't intimated by the Spurs as they used to be. No idea why, it's not like they've done anything to prove otherwise, but the Spurs aren't in their head like they used to be. It might have a lot to do with Bowen.

[DPG21920]

I can't really explain it, but it just seems like the Suns aren't intimated by the Spurs as they used to be. No idea why, it's not like they've done anything to prove otherwise, but the Spurs aren't in their head like they used to be. It might have a lot to do with Bowen.

That is every team. Spurs aren't as feared as they used to be.

[jestersmash]

TP needs to take initiative when he's on the court with those guys. I don't mind seeing TP attack the rim more, he hasn't even attempted it once, really.

He's deferring too much now.

[DAF86]

Put Manu back in to close out the quarter.

[Ice009]

FUCK this passing game Tony.

I want you to play like Tony Parker and get to the rack.

Screw the people on the board that want you to change your game. Everyone is in form now, just go and do it.

[DesignatedT]

I can't really explain it, but it just seems like the Suns aren't intimated by the Spurs as they used to be. No idea why, it's not like they've done anything to prove otherwise, but the Spurs aren't in their head like they used to be. It might have a lot to do with Bowen.

and d'antoni. Phoenix is a team i would like to avoid in the playoffs. i just have a bad feeling about playing them. they are going to take out years of frustration out.

[lefty]

Trade Parker !!!!!!

[Shastafarian]

Alvin Gentry says "ok" a lot.

[alchemist]

I can't really explain it, but it just seems like the Suns aren't intimated by the Spurs as they used to be. No idea why, it's not like they've done anything to prove otherwise, but the Spurs aren't in their head like they used to be. It might have a lot to do with Bowen.
honestly they never looked the part, they just got eliminated over and over again.

[anonoftheinternets]

bonner + mason have to start hitting some threes, we are woefully lacking three point specialists who can hit.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

same old story. we miss open shots. they make theirs.

why is no one closing out the shooters?

Because we don't have the 5 guys in your sig pic on the floor... ;)

Great pic, btw. :tu

PS Mark Jackson is the douchiest of all douchebag commentators... except maybe Tommy Heinsohn.

[Sisk]

Rj!!

[ffadicted]

Jefferson playing like a 14 million man tonight!

[CFH]

RJ with another and 1. :lol

[Refocus]

Dick is on fire!

[Juanobili]

Jefferson!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

dick!

[DesignatedT]

parker to RJ! AND1

but they cant play together right?

[jestersmash]

and who says jefferson can't play with TP?

Where are the TP haters at?

[ElNono]

Our second unit will be our undoing... RJ playing like a man out there

[lefty]

RJ is a different man when he is not putting a condom on.

[siraulo23]

another and 1 for RJ~@!

[diego]

its unfair of pop to put that lineup out there- tony is just getting back, and that lineup cant do anything without tony being tony. everyone predictably plays bad

[Spurs Brazil]

Another and one for RJ!!!!

[TIMMYD!]

RJ with another And1!!

That's 3 already!

[Ice009]

Fucking aggression from rj.

Great pass tony parker.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

RJ with yet ANOTHER and 1!? 3rd in the Q!

[Chieflion]

Woohoo. RJ again!

[DPG21920]

Great dish from TP to RJ on the break. :wow RJ is finishing so strong at the rim lately. How many and 1's has he had in the last two games?

[TDomination]

we suck at ft's lol

[lefty]

Bonner :lmao

[Mel_13]

Parker just killing RJ's aggressiveness. :rolleyes

[tothrowed]

are second unit would be better if malik played instead of mason

[TIMMYD!]

Another And1

Holy Shit!

[DesignatedT]

blair and 1!

im loving this and1 fest!!!! now just hit the FT's

[ffadicted]

LMAO 2 3 point plays without the suns getting possession

[CFH]

Blair and 1.

[Andy25]

Blair that fucking bear just went thud and got his ass back up like a man. YEAH!

[Spurminator]

Wow, nice play by Bonner.

[superjames1992]

Good drive by Matt Bonner, something we've seen a lot of lately.

[siraulo23]

another and 1 lol

[timtonymanu]

alot of and 1's. if only we can make the ft's.

[Spurs Brazil]

Beast and one!

Nice pass Bonner

[TDomination]

lol, blair going reverse when he could've dunked it from the front lol

[Sisk]

Alvin Gentry says "ok" a lot.

Yeah i noticed this too.. pretty annoying

[DesignatedT]

wow mason. you seriously suck.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

honestly they never looked the part, they just got eliminated over and over again.


You could tell they used to have severe psychological problems with the Spurs, now it just seems different. And yeah, it also has to do with Dantoni being a panicky moron who did nothing to make his players feel confident.

[TIMMYD!]

are second unit would be better if malik played instead of mason

It would be much better.

[CFH]

Tp!!!

[alchemist]

there you go tony

[TIMMYD!]

Hey, Tony remembered how to make a lay-up.

[RedRaider]

Nash is sooo good.

[timtonymanu]

Because we don't have the 5 guys in your sig pic on the floor... ;)

Great pic, btw. :tu

PS Mark Jackson is the douchiest of all douchebag commentators... except maybe Tommy Heinsohn.

it is a great pic. i miss this finishing five. :(

[alchemist]

fucking Bonner couldn't get the g'damn rebound.

[timtonymanu]

Fuckin Nash.

[BanditHiro]

fuck nash

[DesignatedT]

wtf amundson and bonner :lol

[Sisk]

wowwwww bonner just got shoved down..

[Spurs Brazil]

Tie at 29 after one

[ElNono]

Ponytail douche being a douche

[BanditHiro]

why do they have to suck nash's dick he is old and Canadian

[HarlemHeat37]

Bonner can't let Amundson steal that rebound from him, man up..

Mason really needs to be taken out, he's a massive liability..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Is it just me or does the Suns' court look bigger than other courts (ie. defences look more spread out)?

[superjames1992]

fucking Bonner couldn't get the g'damn rebound.

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.

[HarlemHeat37]

Bonner can't let Amundson steal that rebound from him, man up..

Mason really needs to be taken out, he's a massive liability..I don't know if I've ever seen a worse defender..

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

That Temple guy deserves more PT......Nash wasn't doing much when he was in.

[alchemist]

You could tell they used to have severe psychological problems with the Spurs, now it just seems different. And yeah, it also has to do with Dantoni being a panicky moron who did nothing to make his players feel confident.
I don't notice anything different, Nash and Amare have always played the same way they do now. I'll take your word for it though.

[tothrowed]

bonner got fuked uppppppppp but get mason the fuck out when hes in everything goes wrong fuck fuck fuck

[Libri]

The Spurs can have a layup clinic if they keep attacking the rim.

This right hear. Attack the paint.

[tp2021]

I swear, Blair makes grabbing boards look easy, but he sure knows how to blow layups out of nowhere sometimes.

[siraulo23]

Is it just me or does the Suns' court look bigger than other courts (ie. defences look more spread out)?

camera angle is different i think

[itzsoweezee]

mason shouldn't be playing ahead of bogans. these rotations make no sense.
