Game Blog: Playoffs 2010 - Second Round: Spurs @ Suns, Game 1

[ajGambino]

NO MASON
NO BONNER

Fuckin' A Pop! You're giving this game to them. You SHIT HEAD!

[NewJerSpur]

Pop's got to find out what lineups are going to work for this series and whose going to come off the bench and anchor the 2nd unit.

[DontStopBelieving]

I predicted we would lose this one. Still, my prediction remains Spurs in 6.

I can't wait for the " Manu and Hill SUCK" "GTFO TD" posts

[ffadicted]

lol "Wide open 3 by roger mason"

... *clank*

[alchemist]

pathetic lineup, no dice/no parker = fail

[noles1983]

fuck you mason

[CFH]

Mason bricks a wide open 3, wonderful...

[VBM]

Dear god mason...

[ShoogarBear]

Oh, yes, more Mason please!

[Warlord23]

Mason = useless POS

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck mason
fuck mason
fuck mason
fuck mason
fuck mason
fuck mason
fuck mason
fuck mason
fuck mason
fuck mason
fuck mason
fuck mason
fuck mason
fuck mason
fuck mason

[stealthjbravo]

why is fuckin mason in the damn game? that guy is a fucking bitch

[Refocus]

Mason should never have more than 4-5 minutes if we even want a CHANCE to win a game..

[timtonymanu]

Sigh if only we had scrubs who could hit open 3's.

[Spurminator]

Duncan back in but why are Mason and Bogans still on the floor???

[MannyIsGod]

I really wish Mason wasn't so useless now.

[Spursox]

Money Mason!!!!

[neboat]

Can Doug Collins be any more sun biased.... Fucking annoying the shit out of me

[td4mvp21]

......I'm tired of Pop's bullshit when he gets outcoached.

[ohmwrecker]

You are worthless Roger Mason.

[Charles Sappa]

Mason, please kill yourself

[Warlord23]

Hack-a-ponytailed-faggot?

[zhougc]

how many bogans has got?

[sammy]

Fuck Mason didn't foul and they are giving these bitches free throws! Fuck you refs!

[superjames1992]

WTF, RMJ practically hugged his man, causing a foul, just seconds after missing a wide open three.

[NewJerSpur]

Damn Mase, you've got to revive the jumper between games.

[Tp9gospursgo]

No one goes out to Mason cause they know he will miss.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

This is way too painful to watch.

I'm out.

I was telling all you overconfident spurstalkers to STFU the Suns look like they have way too much for us to handle without perfect contributions from the "big 4"

The Mavs did not do it but the Suns are definitely making us look old and finished.

[Spurminator]

We're better off playing Dice at 2 and letting him shoot threes.

[Andy25]

Was that some Hack a Amundson? WTF?1

[Texas_Ranger]

This shit is over.

[noles1983]

this one is over, i wouldnt have put duncan back in

[DontStopBelieving]

Mason with a WIDE OPEN 3.. Miss.. What a damn scrub. Why is he still even on the team?!

Also.

These refs were also the ones that called Mavs Spurs game 1 right? The one where all the BS tic tac fouls were called?

[mexicanjunior]

Just once, I would love to see another team shoot worse from the FT line in a playoff game than us...you can always bank on the Spurs giving away 8-10 points with horrendous FT shooting. I am really surprised more teams don't go Hack-A-Tim...

[Ice009]

Pop never called a timeout during that run....

You gotta call a time out on the road too. At home not so much, but on the road you call a time out.

[NewJerSpur]

And why was that not a foul?

[td4mvp21]

IDK what Duncan is doing this game.

[blkroadrunners]

Damn, Duncan. C'mon..

[Crookshanks]

Well RMJ did have that awesome buzzer beater against Phoenix on Christmas day a few years back. Can we go "back to the future"? :lol

[timtonymanu]

wow Tim gets owned by anybody nowadays.

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL go home Tim, go home..Channing Frye LOL..go home..

[Capt Bringdown]

The Suns make the Mavs look like a CBA team. They're scary good.
We're not.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

No time to rest either this series.

That's why after it was obvious Duncan is still tired why not just tank this game right away?

If he is tired after 3 days rest what will he be doing in game 2 with 1 day rest?


Frustrating.

[peskypesky]

meh. we got Game 2.

[DPG21920]

kindly shut the fuck up. this spurs team is still better than this weak ass phoenix team, regardless of the outcome of this game.

What does that have to do with what I said girl?

[Tp9gospursgo]

We need to make a run.

[phxspurfan]

You see Dragic try to take out that refs knee?

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs lost this game on Manu's missed layup, after that miss Nash went back and hit a 3 and it's been down hill ever since.

Yep.

[CFH]

Slam by Timmy

[NewJerSpur]

Nice pass Manu. Patience.

[spursfan09]

OMG Duncan dunk sighting

[ohmwrecker]

Does Duncan not realize that Channing fucking Frye is guarding him?!

[itzsoweezee]

duncan getting bitchslapped by channing frye might be the lowpoint of his career

[Tp9gospursgo]

Lets play dome defense Spurs.C'mon

[noles1983]

Well RMJ did have that awesome buzzer beater against Phoenix on Christmas day a few years back. Can we go "back to the future"? :lol

I wish we can go back in time and trade him for a jelly donut when he was decent.

[AnthonyM]

Got to do something here...tihs is it

[CFH]

Manu

[ATXSPUR]

Well this really ruins my fucking night.

[oh crap]

nice parker

[blkroadrunners]

One last push...

[ohmwrecker]

That was beautiful.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Good run.

[CFH]

Parker, lead down to 8, still in this game!!!

[ffadicted]

I would be excited about this run, but i know better lol

[oh crap]

making a run

[slick'81]

come on come on get back in this thing sa

[ShoogarBear]

Damn, it took this long to get out of the Mason hole.

[td4mvp21]

Are the Spurs just teasing us again?

[TJastal]

Bogans has played well in this game...

[peskypesky]

well well well

the Spurs not giving in just yet

[superjames1992]

Nice little run here. Showing some moxy.

[Juanobili]

Believeeee

[DesignatedT]

there we go.

[DespЏrado]

still got a small shot at this.

[Spurs Brazil]

good layup Tony

Spurs cut to 8

Mason out = Spurs run

FUCK MASON

[phxspurfan]

Ok lets git'er done

[DPG21920]

I just hate mason in the game. No matter what he should not play.

[Otaku]

8 point game. Anything can happen.

[Ice009]

This is way too painful to watch.

I'm out.

I was telling all you overconfident spurstalkers to STFU the Suns look like they have way too much for us to handle without perfect contributions from the "big 4"

The Mavs did not do it but the Suns are definitely making us look old and finished.

This post right here is full of Matt Bonner. What a scared soft post. If you come soft like this what do you expect both on and off the court.

[Rummpd]

Where the hell has been Parker riding the bench when he was dominating the game - damm Pop you rested him too long but come on Spurs win in spite of the bad coaching!

[boutons_deux]

no to get some stops, keep the run going

[DontStopBelieving]

8 point game. Lovin the way Manu is playing now. And Bogans playing well!? Wha?!

[Horse]

duncan getting bitchslapped by channing frye might be the lowpoint of his career
You douche he shoved him under the basket.

[Stringer_Bell]

There goes Gentry being a good coach and recognizing a change in momentum, thus giving his team a timeout...

We gotta believe, I ain't scared with half a quarter to go. Let's get it Spurs!

[superjames1992]

Unfortunately, neither Nash nor Amare are in the game right now, so who knows if the Spurs can keep this up once they are inserted?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

We need to ride a lineup of Duncan, McDyess, Ginobili, Parker, and Hill the rest of the way.

[NewJerSpur]

LOL go home Tim, go home..Channing Frye LOL..go home..

Frye is fouling and travelling and being given all-start treatment for some reason.

One more stop, and the game is still manageable.

[phxspurfan]

If we win this game we crush the Suns lil hearts.

[DesignatedT]

bogans>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>mason.

still dont understand why this excuse for a basketball player mason is still getting minutes. what a piece of shit

[oh crap]

if the spurs win, page 60 is full of win

[roycrikside]

Bogans really hasn't been the problem to anyone paying attention. It's Mason who's awful. If we're gonna play a 9-man rotation, Bogans should be the guy. Better defense, less stupid shots, less turnovers than Mace.

Still, the real culprit in this one is Hill. I guess he just sucks in Game 1s. Don't know why he didn't try to take Nash off the dribble or post him up. He'll be better next game.

[Horse]

Tony really does need to play 40 min a game, he can get whatever he wants.

[DesignatedT]

put dice back in and lets make a run at this shit

[ffadicted]

Man, george has been absolute pure garbage this game, wtf

[sammy]

Down by 8! Let's Go Spurs!

[AnthonyM]

Such a problem with the short rotation.

No one wants Mason in...including me...but a 6-man rotation won't cut it either...

Might as well see if Mason can hit some shots while we're resting Tim...

But at least have Dice in instead of Bonner or Bogans...

[timtonymanu]

Ok I can count out Mason having a good series. I thought he would play well against Phoenix but i should know better... it's Roger Mason Jr.

Bogans >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mason

[Warlord23]

They'll probably go to the Nash pick-n-roll out of this timeout. Need some stops.

[Ice009]

Make a run here and take it!

[NewJerSpur]

8 point game. Lovin the way Manu is playing now. And Bogans playing well!? Wha?!

I think KB will get some good minutes in in this series....this is definitely the time to find out.

[DontStopBelieving]

Need stops. I also must remind all of the people getting their hopes up that Nash has been resting since the 3rd..

[Libri]

No more shitty play, please.

[Tp9gospursgo]

I like Bogans staying in the game. He's playing well.

[mexicanjunior]

Spurs finally make up ground on the Dragic-Frye combo...Nash and Amare coming in to close things out unfortunately. At least the Spurs made them come back in to avoid an entire 4th quarter rest.

[Xylus]

Shouldn't have left the bench in so long. This is the playoffs, damn it! Our second unit can't handle Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili all at once.

[MannyIsGod]

God why is our fucking bench SO bad?

[Capt Bringdown]

Those missed FT's really hurt.

[TJastal]

Bogans could be a factor in this series with his physical defense on Richardson, Duds, and Hill

[Ice009]

Have confidence and keep at it.

[oh crap]

duncan

[Tp9gospursgo]

Yes

[Libri]

Yeeeeeeees

[Crookshanks]

bogans>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>mason.

still dont understand why this excuse for a basketball player mason is still getting minutes. what a piece of shit

What happened to Mason? He was pretty good that one season - he hit several game winning shots and we were all pumped about him. Now he's garbage - was it because Pop tried to turn him into a Point Guard and it ruined his rhythm and his confidence?

[NewJerSpur]

Great defense Manu.

[AnthonyM]

Ginobili...making up for your prior shitty play....

[peskypesky]

Duncan running the floor

[CFH]

Timmy!!! Lead down to 6, keep chipping!!!

[DontStopBelieving]

Hill missed layup. Timmy cleans that weak shit up

[VBM]

Please Timmy...make the freebies

[NewJerSpur]

Alright, let's make a run. FT'S TIMMY!!

[timvp]

Miracle.

Let's do it.

[phxspurfan]

Big Time Timmy Jim!

[TJastal]

uh oh.. holding my breath on Duncan's free throws...

[Tp9gospursgo]

Please hit these

[Warlord23]

Make these FTs, FFS

[ffadicted]

Man, the fact that a shooting foul on Duncan is pretty much equivalent to a spurs turnover isn't helping very much

[superjames1992]

Just an FYI, Bogans has been in for this entire run. Has he been doing something that we've been missing or is it just coincidence?

[NewJerSpur]

Damn.

[phxspurfan]

:[

[spursfan09]

dang it tim

[VBM]

Fuck your pussy FT shooting, Timmy

[DPG21920]

Tim.

[AnthonyM]

come on Tim....

[Rummpd]

Win this game despite Pop, come on Duncan make a shot.

[Capt Bringdown]

Gotta hit these FTs Tim...Please.

[CFH]

More missed free throws...

[oh crap]

5 pt game

[myhc]

Duncan shooting FTS worse than Shaq :depressed

[TDomination]

lol i just cringed that duncan got fouled while shooting

[timtonymanu]

There we go 1/2 is better than 0/2.

[DontStopBelieving]

Tim another missed FT.. Get your head out of your ass damnit!

[mexicanjunior]

Jesus...even Shaq makes half of his free throws...talk about momentum killers...

[oh crap]

timmy

[peskypesky]

Duncan!!!!!!!!!!

[CFH]

Timmy doing work now!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Great pass kb!!

[TJastal]

great pass by Keith Bogans.

[Rummpd]

Win this damm game

[Libri]

Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimy

[phxspurfan]

Big Time Timmy Jim!!!

[AnthonyM]

tim doing it when it counts....

[superjames1992]

Small ball FTW!!! :D

[ohmwrecker]

Are we just fucking with these guys?

[Otaku]

That's bball!!

[oh crap]

lol @ everyone giving up and calling this a game a few pages ago

[alchemist]

bogans >>>>> aids dumpster >>>>>>> mason

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK Salvatore

[Tp9gospursgo]

That looked like a charge to me.

[DontStopBelieving]

BS! Refs bailing out these Suns today.. Fucking BS!

[TJastal]

that should been a charge on Stoudemire

[timvp]

Come on change this call.

[peskypesky]

Timmy responding to the haters

[Crookshanks]

Duncan shooting FTS worse than Shaq :depressed

He really needs to buy Pop a car and Chip also. These guys need to work on their freethrows every single day. They need to shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot until they get that rhythm down.

[phxspurfan]

Bogans MVP...MVP

[ffadicted]

Bogans MVP lmao

[slick'81]

wtf just happend

[NewJerSpur]

Here we go folks.

[sammy]

Bogans!

[Stringer_Bell]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

[oh crap]

manu

[AnthonyM]

if Collins is right with the rule...sounds like a good overturn

[TDomination]

omg!

[TJastal]

who would have thunk Bogans would be getting us back in the game =)

[DontStopBelieving]

nvm GO REFS! GOOD STUFF.. lol

[phxspurfan]

Wow bad D

[peskypesky]

1 pt game, bitches!!!!

[CFH]

Manuuuuuu on the drive!!! Down to 1.

[Rummpd]

Shut Collins up!

[NewJerSpur]

Good foul Timmy.

[noles1983]

lmfao dont fuck with my emotions spurs

[Spurs Brazil]

terrible transition D

[timtonymanu]

God Bogans please let this be something consistent and not just another fluke game.

[Warlord23]

Keep up the defensive pressure

[VBM]

Why are FTs so easy for every other team?

[Tp9gospursgo]

Even if we lose this game. I like the comeback

[DPG21920]

See even if it is not working spurs have to play smart and do what will work long term. Tim early and often and tp and Manu attacking.

[mexicanjunior]

Great comeback...9 missed free throws are doing us in though.

[TJastal]

even if we lose this game this has got to put some fear into the suns

[DontStopBelieving]

We had this going good, and then?

Easy dunk, damnit

[peskypesky]

tim should shoot his ft's from an angle

[NewJerSpur]

Damn Tony.

[Libri]

dammit

[CFH]

Dammit Bogans...

[royal2006]

really a rollercoaster game

[AnthonyM]

hated that last possession...didnt look like anyone wanted to shoot...

[Death In June]

Parker needs to stop with those fucking jump shots.

[slick'81]

god dammit

[Brox6]

why are we playing small ball?

[Horse]

Bailing them out with non-sense calls and taking bad jumpshots.

[Spurs Brazil]

damn Tony, we needed that one

[Ice009]

Why did Manu not shoot that?????????

[ShoogarBear]

Tim should have shot that. Or Tony should have waited for a better shot.

[DesignatedT]

WHAT THE FUCK??????????/

that wasnt a foul......

[Warlord23]

We can't make the open 3 point shot ... that's the difference from past years

[Tp9gospursgo]

Bogans is playing good defense right now.

[sammy]

Fucking refs call the foul on Bogans! BS!

[DontStopBelieving]

This reffing is god damn BS!

Manu take the damn 3!

[Death In June]

MASON!? Fucking hell, pop.

[AnthonyM]

I know Bogans has been playing well...but get RJ back in...taller body...

[01Snake]

Why is mason coming in!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Momentum killing plays..Parker missing a wide open mid-range J, just like Manu missed that floater earlier to give the Spurs a 5-point lead..those are momentum killers..

WHY THE FUCK IS MASON COMING BACK IN?!..

[phxspurfan]

Money Mason back in

[slick'81]

mason in

[mexicanjunior]

Parker needs to stop with those fucking jump shots.

Suns packed the paint and he was wide open...gotta take that shot.

[MannyIsGod]

oh my fucking god. Roger Mason again?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!

[NewJerSpur]

Still got a shot, even though we don't deserve this game, lol. Play smart.

[noles1983]

Gtfo mason

[timtonymanu]

Mason back in again???

Fuck me.

[TDomination]

wtf??????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????? why is MASON coming in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????????????????? ?????

[ffadicted]

Is Mason seriously coming back in the game......

[Crookshanks]

We'd be winning if not for the missed freethrows - that's the story of so many games this season.

[alchemist]

:bang

[CFH]

Mason again Pop??? Really??? I liked Bogans better.

[Andy25]

Wtf why is rmj in?

[Capt Bringdown]

Damn, great D and then bail out Grant Hill with that foul.
It's just not our night.

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK POP and Mason

[Tp9gospursgo]

Wow. Mason.*facepalm*

[Refocus]

WHAT THE FUCK POP!!! Sit mason the FUCK back down.. pop trolls the fans so hard. :|

[AnthonyM]

Oh ok Pop...bring in Mason...smart

[Trainwreck2100]

fuckin mason, seriously?

[sammy]

Bogans plays well and Pop takes him out for Mason! WTF!

[superjames1992]

Richard Jefferson - MIA.

[phxspurfan]

Mason Playing Heavy Minutes!!

[ohmwrecker]

Shut up, Doug Collins.

[Warlord23]

Why Mason? Why not Dice?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

noooo not RMJ NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :cry

[boutons_deux]

Mason? Bogans? not Hill? not Antonio? WT Fricking fuck?

[Shastafarian]

I almost just threw my TV out the window.

[mexicanjunior]

Mason coming back in to allow the Suns to play 5 on 4...Pop is waving the white flag now.

[Texas_Ranger]

:lol Mason!

[DontStopBelieving]

Mason in now?!?!?! WTF!?!?!?!?! Is this a god damn joke? We get back in the game and you put Mason in?!

[HarlemHeat37]

Absolutely great timeout by Pop..that missed J by Parker could have been a momentum killer..credit to Pop for that IMO..unfortunately, he's bringing Mason back in, so it cancels it out..

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Mason what the fuck!?!?! Play McDyess!!!!!!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Every time we make a run is like game 4 or 6 in the Mavs series when the Mavs would take the lead. It was still obvious we were in control.

That's how this game is. But opposite.

[VBM]

We'd be winning if not for the missed freethrows - that's the story of so many games these past 10 years

fify

[Mr.Robinson]

Bogans could be a factor in this series with his physical defense on Richardson, Duds, and Hill

Yeah, Hill looks like hell out there. Too small to guard Richardson and too inexperienced for Nash. Parker on Nash should be the match up.

[Spurs Brazil]

I can't believe Pop, Mason is the worst player to ever put a Spurs uniform and you'll put him back in the game

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[NewJerSpur]

hated that last possession...didnt look like anyone wanted to shoot...

It's true...it's one thing to pass up one shot for a better one, but 3 Spurs passed up OPEN jumpers. Someone's got to man up there. Still time to steal one.

[Ice009]

Play with confidence, run and take it.

[MannyIsGod]

Tim should have shot that. Or Tony should have waited for a better shot.

There was 3 on the clock. That was about as good as it was going to get (not to mention a pass or waiting there really begs for a 3 sec call)
