Game Blog: Spurs @ Suns (Round 2, Game 2)

[NewJerSpur]

Bogans and Blair look good so far (minus that last foul). Hopefully RJ stays aggressive and the team keeps looking for him.

[Mal]

Good begining. Spurs took control of this game. Pop playing reasonable minutes of all. I like the way this is going

[Spurologist]

Get Bogans off the court Pop!

He just gave away points!

I would like him on Barbosa though....that stupid charge is easily correctable.

Barbosa plays on emotion....he can totally suck when things aren't going well. Bogans might be in his head. He will get some more burn i think

[m33p0]

bogans will get more minutes. book it.

[007nites]

blair is playin better than bonner

Bonner is playing some prettty decent D as well though.

[Brazil]

TP is beasting right there.

[TDomination]

i like what i saw for bogans for the most part, except for the obvious brain fart at the end of the quarter.

bonner, cmon man, please show up on offense

[NewJerSpur]

George has got to stop settling for the long jumpers he was nailing in SA and attack the basket to get himself going. Long jumpers only lead to transition baskets with the Suns when you're shooting a low percentage.

[tdunk21]

will bogans on nash help???

[carina_gino20]

I like what I'm seeing from the defensive end, except for that last bonehead foul by Bogans. Now we'll see if the Spurs are tough enough to counter the Suns' impending run.

[Brazil]

only negative point like game 1 : rebounding

[GSH]

If Bogans had gotten there a half second earlier, everyone would be singing a different tune. Ditto if he had let Barbosa blow by him for a score on the other end.

[m33p0]

stupid question

[Dex]

Pop being...cordial?

Somewhere, Craig Sager is throwing a remote at a television.

[Mal]

Don`t give Tragic any of his weird layup

[Ice009]

Step up role players!!!!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

Blair!!!!!!!!

[blkroadrunners]

Blair's playing well.

[NewJerSpur]

Blaaaaaaiirrr!!!

[TDomination]

nice, blair with the put back

[GSH]

Blair - The Cleaner!

[007nites]

Blair almost missed though

[CFH]

Beast with the put back!!!

[TIMMYD!]

What the hell happened to Barbosa?

Three years ago he was a Top-5 sixth man, now he might be one of Phoenix' worst.

[Death In June]

lol, Bonner. I hate you.

[TDomination]

where is that foul?

u kidding me??

[Dex]

Weak ass call. Phoenix has been sliding all over the place on their screens.

[ShoogarBear]

Okay, rolling the dice a bit much with the Bogans/Bonner combo.

[ffadicted]

wooooooooooow seriously??

[ShoogarBear]

FUCK BONNER, grab a rebound.

[Spurologist]

Fuckin Bonner has done nothing.....GTFO

[CFH]

Gotta rebound...

[timtonymanu]

Come on role players, you gotta rebound!!!

[TDomination]

of course the one they make is the one they get fouled on...rebound please

[007nites]

Bonner/Blair front court equals fail

[NewJerSpur]

If Bogans had gotten there a half second earlier, everyone would be singing a different tune. Ditto if he had let Barbosa blow by him for a score on the other end.

He was a bit overaggressive on that play, he would've been better off trying to shadow Barbosa imo.

[TIMMYD!]

Get the fucking boards!

[Capt Bringdown]

Bonner TO leads to 3 pt play.

[Ice009]

fucking role players suck ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

[Dex]

Get Tim or Dice back on the floor, PLEASE!

[resistanze]

Terrible rebounding.

[Mr.Robinson]

only negative point like game 1 : rebounding

Rebounds!

[ffadicted]

5 point play for the suns cuz we cant fucking box out

[blkroadrunners]

Argh...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wow are you fucking kidding me

[TDomination]

ugh...

[Death In June]

Blair, stupid foul.

[01Snake]

Fucking joke

[Spurologist]

Small ball

[TIMMYD!]

Another AND-1 for Dudley!

Fuck youuuuuuuuuuuuu!

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you Blair and Bonner!!

[CFH]

Where was the foul???

[Mal]

Blair, Bogans, Bonner on court.

[Dex]

Phoenix looking for the 5-point play because our guys can't fucking rebound.

[dbestpro]

okay maybe it is obvious that Bonner and Blair inside is not enough?

[NewJerSpur]

Dumb foul Amare.

[GSH]

If you're gonna foul him, foul the hell out of him Blair. None of that and-1 crap.

[Knoxxx]

Bonner is killing us now, don't like him out there with Blair. Like the way Blair is bodying Amare though.

[Ice009]

fuck!!!!!!!! role players are killing us.

[CFH]

Well didn't cost the Spurs but that 4 point swing by the suns sucks...

[Crookshanks]

Spurs ended the 1st quarter pretty good (except for Bogans boneheaded foul), but they're blowing it at the beginning of the 2nd. And man, are the whistles blowing or what?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:( :(

[Dex]

Get these weak ass rebounders out!

[Death In June]

These refs have gotten pretty whistle happy in these last few seconds.

[ShoogarBear]

This small ball shit has got to stop.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Omfg

[timtonymanu]

Goddamnit this lineup.

Bench is major fail.

[GSH]

another weak ass whistle

[TIMMYD!]

Who put butter on the ball?

[TDomination]

cmon manu...we need you

and omg we can't rebound!

[Spurologist]

Small Ball

[m33p0]

get a rebounder in there! fuck!

[hitmanyr2k]

Small ball..... :lol

[007nites]

Bonner u fucking bitch get da rebound

[ffadicted]

Bawx

dah

fawk

ooooout

[01Snake]

WTF is with all these fouls?

[NewJerSpur]

Terrible rebounding. Nice to see Manu get to the rim with ease though.

[Mal]

Pop, change this lineup...

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Ginobili is fucking useless right now, he better step it up or we're fucked!

[resistanze]

:lmao They don't want the ball.

[ceperez]

Shit bogans! He's damn slow!

[Death In June]

Get at least one REAL big in there, goddamn it.

[TDomination]

my goodness this is pissing me off!

[Dex]

We didn't even really get that last rebound. Absolutely pathetic.

[Spurologist]

Fucking POP!!!!!!

BLAIR/BONNER doesn't work

[Crookshanks]

damn these refs - Spurs are gonna be in the penalty in about 2 minutes :bang

[NewJerSpur]

Great block KB.....keep shooting Barbosa.

[Mal]

Barbosa :lol

[carina_gino20]

Grab a fucking rebound!!!!

[tdunk21]

take the motherfuckin crowd out of the game...

[resistanze]

This one is on Pop.

[dbestpro]

I know no one will believe this but I really think Ian could help inside agianst the Sun scrubs.

[Brazil]

REBOUNDS for christ sake !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CFH]

Rebound the goddamn ball, good lord...

[TDomination]

this lineup sucks

[Spurologist]

Fucking POP!!!!!!

BLAIR/BONNER doesn't work

:pctoss
:pctoss
:pctoss

[TIMMYD!]

Losing the ball left and right. FML.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck the 3 B's. They let the Suns back into this.

Cmon Manu make some damn shots.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wow no rebounding WTF

[Crookshanks]

this lineup SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Capt Bringdown]

Way to blow the lead.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

What the fuck

[Mal]

This lineup killed, everything what was good....

[Scola]

6-0 runs by suns, Spurs need to concentrate!

[royal2006]

that lineup really sucks , bench borner and we will be fine

[DesignatedT]

blair and bonner fucking blow dick. where the fuck is dice.

[anonoftheinternets]

man those guys can hustle its amazing ...

[Dex]

Well, so Pop absolutely ruined that lead when he forgot that rebounding is part of defense.

[ALVAREZ6]

get duncan back in there already for fuck's sake Pop

[m33p0]

I know no one will believe this but I really think Ian could help inside agianst the Sun scrubs.

i'll take ian over blair or bonner right now.

[NewJerSpur]

Parker could've just backed that out instead of overcommitting himself with nowhere to go. Could use a quick score here.

[dbestpro]

Blair needs to play angry.

[Chomag]

Stupid ass line up. Come on Pop!!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

the suns had like 20 possessions in three mins

[Spurologist]

Barbosa travelled there too but i'd rather have that so it can sink into pop's thick fucking skull

[SpursTillTheEnd]

Man wtf is matt bonner doing do yall see this faggot on offense he's standing around making it hard for parker to drive, and on d he fucking sucks he's getting no fucking rebounds

[GSH]

I know no one will believe this but I really think Ian could help inside agianst the Sun scrubs.

He can foul and miss rebounds at least as well as these guys have. Couldn't be much worse.

[Manu20]

Rebounds will be nice:bang

[Mal]

11 fucking offensive rebounds...

[hitmanyr2k]

This lineup puts way too much pressure on Ginobili and Parker to score....AND they have no rebounders. Genius line-up Popovich :lol

[Danny.Zhu]

11 Offensive Rebound for the Suns already???

WTF???

[TIMMYD!]

I know no one will believe this but I really think Ian could help inside agianst the Sun scrubs.

+1

I think a lot more people than you think will believe that.

[ALVAREZ6]

I love when Nash and Amare are in the Spurs play like fuckheads

[Mal]

They are shooting 29 % FG, and down only by 5

[Capt Bringdown]

I know no one will believe this but I really think Ian could help inside agianst the Sun scrubs.

Of course. Not going to happen though.

[mexicanjunior]

We are the worst fucking rebounding team still in the playoffs. Fuck Popovich for giving Ratliff away for a bag of peanuts. No way he gives up 30 offensive rebounds to Jared Dudley...fuck this team.

[Crookshanks]

Spurs just gave away all their momentum. We should've been able to get the lead up to 14 or 15 easily - until Pop put in this sucky lineup. How many offensive rebounds have the Suns gotten in this quarter - seems like about 20...

[m33p0]

Pop isn't the one who's supposed to rebound.

... and here we thought Blair would be a monster in this series.


so wrong... so wrong.

[braeden0613]

Pop is so stubborn. You wonder why we aren't getting rebounds? Freaking small ball

[NewJerSpur]

Barbosa travelled there too but i'd rather have that so it can sink into pop's thick fucking skull

He did travel.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

11 FUCKING offensive rebounds for the suns so far

[carina_gino20]

21-15 rebounds. :pctoss

[Spurologist]

Total BS with Amare/Nash both out......pop decides to let up

Bonner has literally done nothing since he's been in

[Bulwark]

What is POP thinking with that line up I mean it hasn't worked all year

[Dex]

They are shooting 29 % FG, and down only by 5

The have like 10 extra shots.

[Knoxxx]

HOw the hell are we still up 5?

[the crimson blur]

We have Tim Duncan, Antonio McDyess, and DeJuan Blair. They have Amare Stoudemire, Jarron Collins, and Louis Amundson.

No reason why we should have a huge rebounding advantage, let alone lose it by 7. God damn.

[dbestpro]

I would be happy if pop just told bonner to go home right now.

[suitedkings]

This is on Pop with this horrible lineup. What has Bonner done to deserve his playing time?

[Capt Bringdown]

Fuck Popovich for giving Ratliff away for a bag of peanuts. No way he gives up 30 offensive rebounds to Jared Dudley...fuck this team.

I hope it was a personality clash, because what other explanation is there?
Dumb.

[MannyIsGod]

Total BS with Amare/Nash both out......pop decides to let up

Bonner has literally done nothing since he's been in

He's gotten some blocks. He's not playing THAT bad because his D has been OK so far but yeah.

I don't know why I defend Bonner. I just do.

[Mal]

The have like 10 extra shots.

Because of lack of rebounds

[InK]

We are shooting 52, they 29 percent and its 5 point game. Wdf... get ur head outta ur ass

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Ginobili is COLD

[royal2006]

everything is working in our faovr until Pop put in this sucky lineup

[TDomination]

manu, dang

[Knoxxx]

Does Manu have a basket yet?

[InK]

Man, gino...

[Brazil]

Of course. Not going to happen though.

unfortunately... Pop putting a young guy who can run and rebound... no way it will happen

[TIMMYD!]

Manu's jumper has been way off...

[NewJerSpur]

Less shooting, more driving Manu.

[TDomination]

barbosa keeping the spurs in the game

[Mal]

Barbosa is awful

[ShoogarBear]

Manu is jumpshooting too much, not driving enough.

Thank God for Barbosa.

[InK]

Nah 0-5

[Death In June]

RJ is so useless.

[diego]

if we have the chance to win this game and pop blows it by playing bonner over mcdyess :bang
mcdyess has to play every minute he can- thats why you held him back in the RS right?

[resistanze]

Barbosa has REGRESSED.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Man what the hell is going on?

[GSH]

Does Manu have a basket yet?

Nope. 0 for everything.

[ffadicted]

This is so pathetic, two different teams in two different quarters

[CFH]

That isn't a foul...

[Mal]

Scrub lineup is killin us....

[magui86770]

for christ' sake guys... the sun's bench? really.

[Chomag]

LOL @ Manu telling Bonner how to defend.

[GSH]

Makes a difference, though, when Nashy isn't unconscious.

[NewJerSpur]

Duncan is owning.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Jared fucking Dudley another and 1?

[TDomination]

duncan needs to touch the ball every possession

[dbestpro]

rj has the lowest bb iq.

[ShoogarBear]

Horrendous defense by RJ.

[hitmanyr2k]

Is Ginobili suddenly allergic to driving to the basket? Someone slap him on his nose.

[Bulwark]

Dudley is killing us WTF

[Dex]

RJ with another stupid foul.

He has wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time-itis.

[GSH]

No time for a nap, RJ.

[InK]

So lazy RJ, so freaking lazy

[CFH]

And another 1 for Dudley, really???

[Crookshanks]

another damn "and 1"... come on guys, can you at least try to not foul.

[ffadicted]

Spurs complecent as jared dudley looks like kobe bryant out there

[resistanze]

If they're gonna let Dudley kill them they might as well go home now.

[royal2006]

borner is still there and we still sucks

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

this dudley dude is fucking annoying

[CFH]

Manu to Jefferson, nice!!!

[Come_On_Now]

Bogans and Barbosa are having a "who can suck worse?" competition.

[Dex]

2 more offensive boards.

This is just wretched.

[TDomination]

gosh, pathetic

[Chomag]

Fn rebound!

[Mal]

Holy shit, Dudley

[blkroadrunners]

God bless....c'mon Spurs, rebound.

[Creation88]

can't get a fucking bnoard

[ALVAREZ6]

You know we're playing like faggots when bitch ass Dudley is making us look like fools.

[Death In June]

I hate bonner so much...so much.

[magui86770]

grab the god dang ball!!!!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bonner is a joke

[NewJerSpur]

Damn Matt.

[ShoogarBear]

Fuck Bonner.

[TDomination]

i hate you bonner

[timtonymanu]

How is the whole team getting outrebounded by Jared Dudley?

[InK]

Fuck off, seriouslly fuck off with this lazy shit

[TIMMYD!]

12 offensive boards for Dudley.

Are you fucking kidding me?

[ffadicted]

why the FUUUUUUCK is dudley getting some many fucking boards

and GODDAMN IT BONNER THAT WAS SOOOO FUCKING OPEN

[8FOR!3]

I swear to God if Dudley has another fuckin offensive rebound!

[hitmanyr2k]

DON'T PASS TO BONNER!! Haven't they figured it out yet?

[Bulwark]

Bonner can't hit the broad side of a barn when it counts

[Spurologist]

He's gotten some blocks. He's not playing THAT bad because his D has been OK so far but yeah.

I don't know why I defend Bonner. I just do.

Role = 3 pt shooting

MASSIVE FAIL

Edit: I will admit to decent D

[exstatic]

Am I the only one to notice that one of the HD cameras is broken? It was also broken in game one. The picture gets all nasty and pixilated.

[dbestpro]

i hate bonner.

[Knoxxx]

Dang we are getting clobbered on the glass.

Bonner misses an open 3, that clinches that he needs to ride the pine.

[ceperez]

Crap... we aren't going anywhere w/o 3 point shooting.

[blkroadrunners]

Timmy!

[Crookshanks]

Bogans and Barbosa are having a "who can suck worse?" competition.

I hope Barbosa wins by default because Bogans is on the bench :lol

[L.I.T]

The almost have as many offensive boards as we have total boards.

[CFH]

Timmy with the dunk.

[TIMMYD!]

The whole team is negating all the good that Tim has done so far...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bring back Dice please...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

can mother fucking bonner stop playing already

[Mal]

of course. Nash got his rest, while Dudley was in Rodman`s mode...

[NewJerSpur]

Matt's defense is getting better, but his jumpshot has totally disappeared. He NEEDS to hit some of those.

[timtonymanu]

How can an NBA player like Bonner be so traumatized by the playoffs?

Did this dude get picked on as a kid?

[GSH]

Now that was a good play by Hill. Dragic has been belly bumping and Hill forced a whistle. Bout time.

[resistanze]

I remember when people here were saying the Bonner trade was good value.

[Spurologist]

finallllllyyyyyyyyy

HIlllllllllllllllllll

[ceperez]

It's only a 6 point game and the Suns have been missing like crazy.

[magui86770]

play through timmy guys

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fucking THREE pointers!!! WTF

[InK]

Here come the threeees

[CFH]

Dammit, Suns hitting back to back 3s...

[TIMMYD!]

Another 3 point shot allowed.

2 point game.

[timtonymanu]

2 pt game.

:pctoss

[magui86770]

wow....un - dirty word - believable.

[01Snake]

Pathetic!

[Mal]

I blame Pop for that

[duncan228]

Bi-Polar quarters.

[mexicanjunior]

For as horrendous as the Suns have shot the ball, we should be up 20...blowing a golden opportunity because we let Jared Dudley become Moses Malone. We deserve to be swept...honestly. This team has no business being in the 2nd round, the Mavs would be blowing the Suns out right now. Fucking sickening.

[ALVAREZ6]

why the fuck is it literally impossible for the San Antonio Spurs to defend the 3 point line????? Fucking morons.

[Crookshanks]

back-to-back f----ng 3's. Why are we leaving these guys open? Didn't they read the scouting report?

[NewJerSpur]

I hate seeing Tim fading on shots unless he's around the baseline.....he gave Frye (who canNOT defend him) a free pass.

[ffadicted]

What's with Duncan going to the middle and tossing up those fade away shit one handers..... SUCH a low % shot, either kick it out or turn baseline, or do something, don't bring that fucking garbage to the table tim, you have to dominate

[Sisk]

How can an NBA player like Bonner be so traumatized by the playoffs?

Did this dude get picked on as a kid?

:rollin

[royal2006]

pop blows this game for spurs

[8FOR!3]

I don't know what's more annoying, the Suns, or the posts in this thread. Bunch of whiners.

[Brazil]

I was expecting everything for this serie but not being outrebounded so badly by the suns tbh

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The Spurs are gonna get skull fucked in this series and lose in 5. Thoroughly outplaying the Suns and only up 2.

Props to them, at least we beat the Mavs

[itzsoweezee]

spurs playing so fucking dumb right now.

[Bob Lanier]

dickie j's defense... :td

[Mal]

I remember when people here were saying the Bonner trade was good value.

He can make some 3s in RS, he got expiring contract.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

hill's defense on nash is unwatchable

[Spurologist]

Matt Bonner Playoffs

5-19 3pt shooting

[Capt Bringdown]

Suns appear to be the better team.

[neboat]

RJ is so fucking slow
