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

[ceperez]

Can't win without making your 3's. It's simple percentages.

[suitedkings]

Bonner missing everything and Rj standing around on the offensive and defensive end.

[Dex]

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

It's all Nash getting into the paint. The drive and pitch is killing us.

Hill just can't stay in front of Nash. He's terrible at catching up with him after screens. They run Nash off one pick, and he's in the paint. :bang

[Chomag]

Damn, as bad as the Suns are shooting Spurs should be blowing them out.

[MannyIsGod]

Getting really fucking tired of seeing Richardson get open 3s.

[WeNeedLength]

Spurs are literally trying to lose this game

[NewJerSpur]

3 guys collapsing on Nash is always a recipe for disaster. Better to trap him high or let him frolic in the lane and come in late to try and block his shot.

[GSH]

Bonner's missed exactly the same number of 3's as Manu. It's the whole team.

[dbestpro]

We are not a smart team right now. Bonner, RJ, RMJ, and Bogans are not smart enough to be Spurs.

[01Snake]

Getting really fucking tired of seeing Richardson get open 3s.

This.

[Spurologist]

Manu is quietly 0-5 in this game.

We are gonna need an overdose of tp/TD pick and rolls until Manu can get it together

[Knoxxx]

Suns are playing good D and hitting tough 3s unlike us who can't hit easy ones.

[TIMMYD!]

They must have at least 15 points from those offensive rebounds.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

one subtle right to left dribble throw hill off completely and nash can go where-ever he wants

[NewJerSpur]

That's what we need from George.

[GSH]

They've got 3 and 4 guys in the paint for every rebound. They don't give a shit about our guys on the perimeter.

[Mal]

and Timmy stop making shots

[007nites]

Timmy can back down Frye a lot more then that.

[ceperez]

Sun shooting at 32% and it's we lead by just 2???!

[Ice009]

Role players rule!

[Crookshanks]

I'm not going to say the Spurs have lost this game - there's still LOTS of time left. But the Spurs really need to regain their composure and start playing smart. Some of these guys have the "deer in the headlights" look.

Suns have 11 more shots than the Spurs - that's the only reason this game is close. REBOUND, REBOUND, REBOUND, REBOUND, REBOUND, REBOUND

[InK]

Suns on pace to get 40 off. rebounds in a game. Neat.

[TIMMYD!]

At least we're making our FTs...

[qiuyizeng]

bonner ,hill RJ are shit

[mexicanjunior]

I don't understand why Pop continues to put Hill on Nash, it's like he wants Nash to hit 30 and 10 every night...

[DesignatedT]

hill is playing like a fucking pussy again

[Mal]

Way too many free throws to PHX

[qiuyizeng]

fuck bonner!

[Ice009]

I said Bonner, mason Jr. suck last season.

Why the fuck are they still on the team?????????

[ShoogarBear]

Matt Bonner Playoffs

5-19 3pt shooting

I can't even remember the 5.

[NewJerSpur]

Thank you Tim.

[Capt Bringdown]

For gods sake play ian, your getting abused inside and have a great athlete on the bench who cant do worse than the fools your rolling with now!!!

This is on Pop, no doubt. Frustrating doesn't begin to describe it...

[TDomination]

an offensive rebound for the spurs looks weird

[carina_gino20]

Guess we'll see Tony in the starting lineup to start the 3rd, eh?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wow Manu, WOW

[ALVAREZ6]

Holy fucking shit Manu

[Chomag]

Manu...wth lol

[GSH]

At the end of the day, the game is about putting the damned ball through the ring, and our guys aren't doing it.

[resistanze]

Fucking Duncan.

[TIMMYD!]

Dumb foul by Ginobili on that Richardson 3. Dumb, dumb foul.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I swear to fucking god, manu is playing like a retard!

[timtonymanu]

Manu playing like shit tonight.

[Mal]

and Richarson is still wide open

[ffadicted]

....... 3........ fucking....... fts............
.

..................

.................................................. ..........................................

[Pistons < Spurs]

WTF Manu???

[TDomination]

woohoo and not only getting to the 3pt line late, but fouling him afterwards

[Spurologist]

Getting really fucking tired of seeing Richardson get open 3s.

[resistanze]

GG Gino.

[Death In June]

That was a foul?

[RedRaider]

Ginobili needs to step the phuck up.

Duncan on the other hand tonight is domination station.

[Bob Lanier]

Manu!!!

[duncan228]

Oh God Manu.

[Sisk]

wow

[Crookshanks]

MANU - come on, you're waaaaay better than that. Crap this stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[itzsoweezee]

so fucking stupid manu. he keeps fucking up trying to double team for no reason.

[mexicanjunior]

Manu is playing like shit...0-fer and fouling 3 point shooters...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

...

[dbestpro]

When the role players suck the big three try to press and the entire team collapses.

[ceperez]

Uh... don't think Ginobili touched Richardson.

[Sisk]

I can't even remember the 5.

my thoughts exactly

[Capt Bringdown]

Another low IQ play from Manu.

[Ice009]

Spurs are STUPID. MANU you idiot. fucking idiot Manu.


I don't even trust Manu anymore.

Tim and Tony are the only two that fucking showed up and have confidence.

Tony Parker is the only player on the team that has confidence in himself consistently every game.

[GSH]

That's as bad as Bogans' foul.

[Brazil]

wtf Manu... dumbest play ever

I swear to god if we waste this Tim fantastic game so far I'm gonna cry

[Mal]

Sun shooting at 32% and it's we lead by just 2???!

Too many off rebound and FTs

[NewJerSpur]

That's what we need from Jefferson too.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

can manu ginobili play angry now?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice RJ!!!

[Knoxxx]

RJ has such a bad outside shot.

[TIMMYD!]

Dudley is the Sun's secret weapon.

[ShoogarBear]

Dudley back in. SOMEBODY BOX HIM OUT.

[Spurologist]

Spurs gotta zebra gift there

[NewJerSpur]

Diiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!

[resistanze]

Dice.

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs NEED TO, MUST close out this quarter well.

[mexicanjunior]

Grant Hill in foul trouble..time for Gentry to bring Jared Rodman back in...

[NewJerSpur]

Damn the Suns are flopping.

[TIMMYD!]

I wish I could sit on the bench and trash talk our whole team to see if I can get them motivated.

[ShoogarBear]

WTF Manu?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

manu is so shitty tonight..

[magui86770]

manu is crap....wow.

[Mal]

Manu isn`t in the game

[007nites]

Timmy is saving there asses big time

[NewJerSpur]

Amare travelled on that last drive and score.

[resistanze]

LOL Manu. Bench his ass.

[Chomag]

Manu is pushing it to hard tonight. HE needs to slow down.

[MacGyver]

Amare travelled there.

[Ice009]

Manu fucking sucks ass.

FUCKING SHIT MANU.

Give the ball to Tony and Tim and play a 2 man game the whole game. Fuck everyone else on this team.

[Crookshanks]

Thank god this half is almost over. Hopefully the guys can calm down and regroup at halftime. And maybe Timmy can pull Pop aside and tell him if he doesn't sit Bonner and Bogans, then he's gonna break every bottle in Pop's wine cellar! :lol

[Capt Bringdown]

This is why I'm not total Manu fan. You just don't throw passes like that in the playoffs, especially when you're down 0-1 on the opponents home court, and trying to hold on to the lead and close out the quarter on a high note.

Beyond dumb.

[dbestpro]

Manu continues to press. This is not a good sign. We usually collapse once the bench gives away our advantage. It has been the recipe of many, many, loses this season.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Hopefully Manu can turn it around, or else.......... :(

[royal2006]

manu is forcing too much, both offence and defence

[NewJerSpur]

Timmy is saving there asses big time

:tu

Hopefully Manu is saving his best for the 2nd half, because he's giving the team his worst right now.

[Spurologist]

This game has a lackluster feel to it.....whatever team can string a couple shots will have a huge advantage heading into the half

[Mal]

This is why I'm not total Manu fan.

How you can`t like Manu ?

He`s shitty tonight, but he is such a great guy

[carina_gino20]

Manu needs to settle down. Keep feeding Tony and Tim and close this quarter out well. And please, start Tony in the 3rd, Pop.

[Knoxxx]

Manu is stinking it up but have to admit Suns seem to have figured out how to defense him, just like us with Nash thus far...

[ceperez]

Manu is trying to hard, too early. Let Parker run the plays!

[Brazil]

Man Manu has 6 assists ?

[Mr.Robinson]

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

Spurs got this. Just relax.

[007nites]

Where did Parker go?

[Crookshanks]

Manu needs to get it together during halftime. He has to step up and be Super Manu.

[Chomag]

Amare travelled there.

There is no travel in the nba. Or so I have been told lol

[ALVAREZ6]

I wish I could sit on the bench and trash talk our whole team to see if I can get them motivated.

I wish you could play tonight...I have no idea who you are but I'm sure you'd play better than half the team.

[tdunk21]

manu has to come out strong in the 2nd half...this way of play is not goin to get a win tonite...Rj is playin well...

[Shastafarian]

I just can't get over how much Bonner sucks.

[NewJerSpur]

Manu is still getting in the lane, but isn't making the good decisions he made in the 1st with the basketball and isn't finishing at the rim.

[GSH]

13 offensive boards, on 30 missed shots. We ought to be up by 15 at least.

[Trainwreck2100]

Where did Parker go?

he needs to rest

[qiuyizeng]

come on manu,don't do that!

[mexicanjunior]

This is why I'm not total Manu fan. You just don't throw passes like that in the playoffs, especially when you're down 0-1 on the opponents home court, and trying to hold on to the lead and close out the quarter on a high note.

Beyond dumb.

We should have traded him while he still had value...it will only get worse after this year.

[TDomination]

cmon spurs

[Josepatches_]

Manu is trying to hard, too early. Let Parker run the plays!

Duncan in the post.That's the fucking play.

[ALVAREZ6]

Spurs got this. Just relax.

I'm not convinced...YET. I think they will win, simply because they ARE winning and playing terribly.

[Barfunk]

God dammit I hate the fucking Suns

[Spurologist]

manuuuuuuuuuuuu 33333333333333

[qiuyizeng]

duncan save the half

[NewJerSpur]

There you go Manu.

[TDomination]

finally! MANU

[007nites]

Ginobili!

[8FOR!3]

Fuckin Ginobili YEAHHHH

God dammit Frye.

[TDomination]

and of course they hit one right back

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

manu's masking tape is coming off itself..

[Death In June]

That's just ridiculous.

[ffadicted]

make a 3, give a 3

[ALVAREZ6]

I just can't get over how much Bonner sucks.

I can get over how much a lot of our players blow...it's mind blowing we're still in the playoffs.

[Crookshanks]

Finally Manu hits a 3 - and then we leave their guy open AGAIN and they answer back. Darn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[itzsoweezee]

why are these guys so fucking stupid? don't leave the three point shooters, assholes.

[Spursox]

Finally...FUCK!

[mexicanjunior]

Channing Frye with the momentum killer...

[Shastafarian]

I enjoy leaving shooters open too.

[Josepatches_]

cmon spurs

Hill wasn't on the court last 4 minutes

[resistanze]

Epic Fail of a half by the Spurs.

[duncan228]

:bang

[Death In June]

4 straight missed shots for duncan.

[timtonymanu]

wow the Mavs made us look like contenders.

what a joke Spurs.

[NewJerSpur]

Why not go 2 for 1 there Tony?

[ShoogarBear]

Too much standing around on offense.

[Spurologist]

TD = last 2 shots in and out

:pctoss

[TDomination]

ugh!

[Knoxxx]

Wow, weird first half!

[ceperez]

Pathetic.

[Shastafarian]

True or False at this juncture in the game:

Pop is getting outcoached.

[itzsoweezee]

pathetic half

[mexicanjunior]

35% and tied...Popovich doesn't deserve to coach this team ever again. Mavs would be up 20 right now...the better team lost the last series. Fuck this team...

[Brazil]

TP has not been enough aggressive this quarter, I hope he is keeping energy for the second half.

[Crookshanks]

The story of the 1st half - Offensive rebounds. We'd have a big lead if they hadn't gotten 11+ more shots.

[Ice009]

Good work Spurs.

Thanks Matt Bonner, Hill, Bogans. Thanks for being absolute garbage.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Terrible....

Timmys'

[boutons_deux]

That 2nd qtr just sucks, -9 pts.

Suns 13 ORBs, they want it more.

[01Snake]

Spurs don't pick it up in the second half, we're heading back to SA down 2-0. Nash with 6 and Amare with 10.

[NewJerSpur]

Got to stop going for the bait when the Suns are in the lane, they mainly want to shoot 3's......show and go if anything, but I'll give them the points in the paint over uncontested 3's. Well, still got the 2nd half to tighten things up.

[Knoxxx]

4 straight missed shots for duncan.

I figured that would happen and then it would be trouble for us.

[Capt Bringdown]

Just when you've think you've seen it all this season, the Spurs do this.

It's very hard to be hopeful at the moment.

[Spursox]

Shit...How many times do we need to see Frye make the threes before defending it,,,

[LakerHater]

whats up with the fuckin D, leavin wide open 3s!!!!!!!
:bang:bang

[ffadicted]

Suns shooting: 35%
Spurs shooting: 49%

tied game. I think it's safe to say we drop this game unless we start playing like we played first quarter

[DesignatedT]

HOW IS THIS FUCKING TEAM OUTREBOUNDING US.

fucking seriously. we should be killing them on the boards. and stop leaving frye fuckin mcdice.

[Ice009]

TP has not been enough aggressive this quarter, I hope he is keeping energy for the second half.

TP has earned the ball. If he wants it and wants to take as many shots as he wants in this second half I am all for it.

[carina_gino20]

Tony looks pissed, as he should be. I hope the rest of the team is just as pissed. They threw away whatever good mojo they got from the 1st quarter.

[Crookshanks]

Spurs don't pick it up in the second half, we're heading back to SA down 2-0. Nash with 6 and Amare with 10.

And Dudley with about 20? :bang

[Mal]

awful quater. Fucking rebounds... They played like shit. sth about 30 % FG and game is tied. Basketball fundamentals.. Get rebounds. Box out Dudley and rest of scrub lineup... Pop killed this little momentum from 1st q, when he put three B on court..

[boutons_deux]

Suns shoot 35% and tied at the half, fuck fuck fuck

[Spurologist]

I will shoot myself if pop plays Bonner and Blair at the same time again.

[alchemist]

bonner/blair combo = fail

it's 3 on 5 at that point.

[NewJerSpur]

The story of the 1st half - Offensive rebounds. We'd have a big lead if they hadn't gotten 11+ more shots.

Yup, it kept Phoenix in the game and is going to have to be a point of emphasis going into halftime......that, and the 3's.

[dbestpro]

The Spurs need to start doing psych evals on their players. Bonner is a mental midget. I can't wait to see him go.

[mexicanjunior]

Just when you've think you've seen it all this season, the Spurs do this.

It's very hard to be hopeful at the moment.

Hope was lost when Hill started ahead of Parker...that was all the proof I needed to see that Pop was going to fuck up this game.

[L.I.T]

Not that I want to unduly alarm anyone...but Jefferson is our leading rebounder.

I don't even know.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

the first and second quarter seemed to be played in two different games its crazy.

[royal2006]

we are fine in Q1, which pop did not try too much, we are losing when borner is in Q2

[noles1983]

eh didnt think this team was a championship contender anyways. looks like the first round was more about Dallas losing than the spurs actually winning. soft team

[DesignatedT]

Suns shooting: 35%
Spurs shooting: 49%

tied game. I think it's safe to say we drop this game unless we start playing like we played first quarter

lol calm down. a lot of game to be played. we arent going to run them out of there own building... people who think that is happening are ridiculous... acting like we ever ran dallas out of their own building.

[CFH]

Ugly half, Spurs should have a decent lead but it's tied instead. Gonna have to rebuild the lead...

[qiuyizeng]

spurs can't shot threes!,phathetic!

[WeNeedLength]

I can't believe this fucking team. How can you show ZERO effort on the defensive end. GET THE GOD DAMN REBOUND AND STAY ON YOUR MAN. (!@&$!@($&!@($&$&

[DesignatedT]

eh didnt think this team was a championship contender anyways. looks like the first round was more about Dallas losing than the spurs actually winning. soft team

i hope your a troll because if you are serious you are a fucking idiot.

[MB20]

Fans giving up when the game is tied by halftime...:rolleyes

[Ice009]

Shit...How many times do we need to see Frye make the threes before defending it,,,

How much fun is it watching Frye drill three after three and have Matt Bonner miss 3 after 3.

Frye is doing what Pop thought Matt could do, but Bonner is choking like I thought he would.

I knew last season Bonner sucked. How is Pop such a piss poor evaluator of role players these days?

[scottspurs]

Keep feeding Duncan every time he is in the game and go to parker when he is out and the spurs should get enough stops to win the game.

[sammy]

They need to be aggressive and drive! WTF settling for jumpshots? Timmy take to the hole and put the asshole guarding you in foul trouble! No rebounding and no D on this bitch Dudley! WTF!

[Tp9gospursgo]

I just started watching...who started?

[spursbird]

I can shoot better than Bonner

[Knoxxx]

Got to stop going for the bait when the Suns are in the lane, they mainly want to shoot 3's......show and go if anything, but I'll give them the points in the paint over uncontested 3's. Well, still got the 2nd half to tighten things up.

I don't like to see Nash and Amare driving at will. I'd rather see them two on the floor and others making 3s than just letting them slice us up inside with easy baskets. If not for our non-existent 3 point shooting and pathetic rebounding, we would be up double-digits.

[Crookshanks]

Hope was lost when Hill started ahead of Parker...that was all the proof I needed to see that Pop was going to fuck up this game.

But the Spurs were actually doing really well until Pop decided to play Bogans, Bonner and Blair for waaaaaaaaay too long. That's where the game got away - because nobody wearing black jerseys could get a rebound.

[qiuyizeng]

fuck mason,bonner!

[Shastafarian]

Not that I want to unduly alarm anyone...but Jefferson is our leading rebounder.

I don't even know.

He's also leading in getting lost on defense leading to giving up open shots.

[noles1983]

i hope your a troll because if you are serious you are a fucking idiot.

fuck you..that is all

[Amuseddaysleeper]

We're going to lose this series. and I'm going to go kick Rummpd's ass

[Mal]

lol calm down. a lot of game to be played. we arent going to run them out of there own building... people who think that is happening are ridiculous... acting like we ever ran dallas out of their own building.

But that was our time. Time to make secure lead and control the game. If they start making their shots, we are scred

[Brazil]

TP has earned the ball. If he wants it and wants to take as many shots as he wants in this second half I am all for it.

he took only 6 FG I'm not sure he shot the ball once this quarter.

I don't know if Pop told him to limit his plays for the others or if he is being lazy but he should have taken at least 10 shots this half.

[Spursox]

Can someone tell me the last time Bonner has hit a 3

[NewJerSpur]

Not that I want to unduly alarm anyone...but Jefferson is our leading rebounder.

I don't even know.

When he puts in the effort, he's a damn good rebounder. What hurts more is letting Dudley run loose getting 3-pointers the old fashion way....he must be kept off the boards.

[sammy]

Please bench that worthless Bonner! Play Bogans instead!

[exstatic]

The Spurs guards and wings MUST rebound on defense. When we're trapping their P'n'R, it takes one big out of position. If we clean that up, and stop rimming 3-4 shots at the end of quarters, we'll be alright. We may even get some runouts because they're sending 5 to the O glass.

[Capt Bringdown]

Hope was lost when Hill started ahead of Parker...that was all the proof I needed to see that Pop was going to fuck up this game.

Starting Hill was the least of our worries tonight.

The Mavs made us hopeful, but the Spurs are simply not prime-time players this year.

I don't want to lose to the Suns, but it seems inevitable at this point. Trying to come to grips with it.

[NRHector]

Now watch the refs to call a different game in the 2nd half

[DesignatedT]

why is everyone calling this team pathetic and jumping off the fucking bridge already... i swear. This gets so fucking old... We are 1 of 4 teams left in the west so obviously we aren't "pathetic" get your pessimist attitude ass out of here.

fucking cliffjumpers. ridiculous

[Ice009]

The Spurs don't even have one player than can hit a three.

WOW. Guys like Bonner and Mason Jr. have had the biggest fails of all time.

This is the way I wanted the Spurs to play all season, not shooting too many threes and relying on that shot, well shit, we need someone to at least hit a few. I didn't mean not shoot or hit any threes at all.

[Knoxxx]

Would be nice to see Duncan get a rebound that didn't land right in his hands.

[MacGyver]

why is everyone calling this team pathetic and jumping off the fucking bridge already... I swear. This gets so fucking old... We are 1 of 4 teams left in the west so obviously we aren't "pathetic" get your pessimist attitude ass out of here.

Fucking cliffjumpers. Ridiculous

+1

[mexicanjunior]

But the Spurs were actually doing really well until Pop decided to play Bogans, Bonner and Blair for waaaaaaaaay too long. That's where the game got away - because nobody wearing black jerseys could get a rebound.

We would have been up 20+ in the first quarter if Hill had his ass glued to the bench...cushion would have been bigger for Pop's idiotic 3B's move...

[Shastafarian]

Can someone tell me the last time Bonner has hit a 3

Game 5 against Dallas (a loss). He's 5-17 for the playoffs. That's 29.4%

[Death In June]

Starting Hill was the least of our worries tonight.

The Mavs made us hopeful, but the Spurs are simply not prime-time players this year.

I don't want to lose to the Suns, but it seems inevitable at this point. Trying to come to grips with it.Most of the mistakes seem like mental ones. Just poor decisions all around. They can be corrected. The talent disparity isn't as great as it seems.

[GSH]

Anyone know how many second chance buckets the Suns got in the half? At least 5, I'm sure. They shot less than 25% on their first attempts. (About 12-49?) That won't happen in the second half.

[noles1983]

why is everyone calling this team pathetic and jumping off the fucking bridge already... i swear. This gets so fucking old... We are 1 of 4 teams left in the west so obviously we aren't "pathetic" get your pessimist attitude ass out of here.

fucking cliffjumpers. ridiculous

riiight, so im gonna guess u thought before the playoffs that we were legitimate..fucking faggot liar, eat shit you tool. take off the silver and black goggles douche ans smell the roses. this team is and has been average all year

[DesignatedT]

But that was our time. Time to make secure lead and control the game. If they start making their shots, we are scred

were scared? :lol

their bench outplayed our bench. blair,bonner and even hill got outplayed. that was the difference in the first half. if we get better play from our bench then were up double digits.

[Shastafarian]

Suns have 13 offensive rebounds :rollin

[NewJerSpur]

I don't like to see Nash and Amare driving at will. I'd rather see them two on the floor and others making 3s than just letting them slice us up inside with easy baskets. If not for our non-existent 3 point shooting and pathetic rebounding, we would be up double-digits.

It's worked in the past, in terms of letting Nash get deep into the lane and get himself into trouble or try to take on 2 bigs. We can't keep collapsing and trying to run back at Phoenix. All we can do with Amare is make him work for it. Dice and Blair have done pretty good jobs of that overall.

[Spurologist]

TNT guys talking about the spurs lack of 3pt shooting. They mention everyone who can make 3s but don't even mention Bonner.

:lmao

[Crookshanks]

I think the Suns only made 4 3-pointers - it seemed like a lot more. I guess it's because they were such timely baskets and killed the Spurs momentum.

But the offensive rebounds are the bigger problem. You can't let a team get 11 more shots and think you're going to win.

Now the TNT guys are ragging on us because we don't have any 3-point shooters. But Kenny just said Mason is the only 3-point threat...WTH? :lmao

[Josepatches_]

Starting Hill was the least of our worries tonight.



This.
He wasn't on the court in the last 4 minutes of the 2nd quarter and Los Suns tied the game

[Manu20]

Matt Bonner should watch the playoffs on the couch like the rest of us :bang

[yavozerb]

Has temple passed Mason in the rotation?

[DesignatedT]

riiight, so im gonna guess u thought before the playoffs that we were legitimate..fucking faggot liar, eat shit you tool. take off the silver and black goggles douche ans smell the roses. this team is and has been average all year

damn dude. you seriously are a fucking moron. please just stop quoting me or anyone else for that matter.

[Knoxxx]

Suns are guarding out to the 3-point line better than we are. We have closed off the paint pretty well though. Actually a good competitive first half, although not all that pretty to watch for either side.

[Ice009]

he took only 6 FG I'm not sure he shot the ball once this quarter.

I don't know if Pop told him to limit his plays for the others or if he is being lazy but he should have taken at least 10 shots this half.

He was doing the right thing and trying to feed Tim and possibly get others going.

TP has shown great confidence in himself in every playoff game. Only player on the team really to do so every single game this post season.

People that want him traded a retards. Parker showed the same confidence in his first ever playoffs against Gary Payton and then again against the defending Champion Lakers.

[scottspurs]

Getting out rebounded and Hill/Manu 2-10 is why the spurs are losing. Spurs have to get rebounds and hope those two play better.

[Danny.Zhu]

Only 3 minutes for Blair?

[MacGyver]

Don't panic.

[Crookshanks]

riiight, so im gonna guess u thought before the playoffs that we were legitimate..fucking faggot liar, eat shit you tool. take off the silver and black goggles douche ans smell the roses. this team is and has been average all year

Hey Mister 221 posts - take your negative attitude and shove it. :nope

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

getting beat by dudley and amundson to all the boards..thats why

[Spursox]

Thanks Shasta for that stat! What's really frustrating is that we should be up at least 10 points right now...

[mexicanjunior]

Our only solace is that the Hawks will get swept in worse fashion than we will...

[DesignatedT]

Suns have 13 offensive rebounds :rollin

i seriously think at least 5 of them came from that 1 dudley possession :lol

[boutons_deux]

Spurs had a great first qtr, but couldn't keep it up.

Hill seems to be a first-round flash in the pan.

[ohmwrecker]

Has temple passed Mason in the rotation?

Yes. He gets to sit closer to the Gatorade.

-Horrible decision to start Hill..the Spurs jumped off to a strong start in spite of Hill's poor play, he was horrible..having Parker on early certainly would have made a difference and opened up a lead for the Spurs..

Having Hill vs. the Suns bench would have been a much better matchup for him..

-Blair-Bonner frontcourt hurting the Spurs, as usual..they got manhandled by Amundson and Dudley, which is pathetic(Dudley is a good player, but those 2 are supposed to be "bigs")..Bonner is soft as usual, Blair showing low IQ, as usual..

-Jefferson's defense was beyond horrible, even worse than usual..missing rotations everywhere, sad to see that he isn't focused in such a big game..Dudley manhandled him as well..

-Pop played Bogans/Bonner/Blair for way too long..McDyess needs to be playing with Blair, Pop needs to stop saving his minutes, there's nothing to save for at this point..the Spurs are on pace to be eliminated soon..

-This is looking like I predicted, Suns in 6..they have too many weapons for the Spurs to handle..

Hey Mister 221 posts - take your negative attitude and shove it. :nope

hahaha post count = board cred..it just means i have more of a life unlike you dickless wonder

[carina_gino20]

Dice needs to show us more of those crucial tap outs that we saw against Dallas. 13 offensive rebounds is just unforgivable.

Defense still needs work in terms of the PnR, but getting shots around the rim might help his confidence. He's got to stay attacking.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

All I've gotta say it this could be worse for the Spurs if Barbosa wasn't playing.

[Josepatches_]

We would have been up 20+ in the first quarter if Hill had his ass glued to the bench...cushion would have been bigger for Pop's idiotic 3B's move...

Hill +/- is 0.

I can't understand the hate on Hill.
He's playing great but he's not the problem.

Nash has 6 points 3/7 FG with 4 assist at the half.I will take 12-8 from him every game of the series.Hill's D wasn't so bad as some people say

Actually, being dickless is pretty good since I'm a female!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you're still an idiot...

[Blackjack]

That's why I wanted to break up the Big 3 into tandems to start the game, starting with Tim and Tony. You spread out the trash (Bogans and Bonner), don't leave Manu to waste minutes not getting on track while they pound it into Tim, and then you've got the ability to let Manu come in after getting a read on the game and allow him to run the point to get RJ, and maybe even Blair off.

Now we've got Tim rolling pretty decent and Tony looking alright, but Manu's still looking to find his rhythm and the Suns are back in the game because Pop's rotation led him to play Bogans, Bonner and Blair at the same time; without that lineup the Spurs are up 10 (because that second unit killed them on the glass -- which is what happens when you've got Blair, Bonner and Bogans trying to man the defensive glass).

[AnthonyM]

lmao McDyess at halftime...

[Capt Bringdown]

We held Phoenix to 34% from the field, 36% from 3-pt land, and yet we couldn't capitalize, blew a double-digit lead and allowed them to tie the game at halftime.

LOL, if Phoenix scrubs can wipe us out on the boards, imagine what Gasol, Bynum and Odom will do to us.

Dallas doesn't have Amare.

REWARD = WIN

[awktalk]

But the offensive rebounds are the bigger problem. You can't let a team get 11 more shots and think you're going to win.


They didn't get 11 more shots than us. They were +11 on offense boards leading to points. They had 5 more FG attempts and 8 more FT attempts. Obviously 13 offensive rebounds in one half to this tiny team is unacceptable, but let's stick to the facts.

As poorly as that 2nd quarter ended up, if you would have told me tie game at the half this morning, I'd take it.

LET'S DO THIS SPURS!!! :flag::flag::flag:

Spurs role players have choked.

Suns are playing great, but these Spurs have played like shit as a whole and let the Suns off the hook. I don't think it's all from the Suns, 50% is on the Spurs themselves. Pop too.

Suns are shooting 35% at halftime. I wouldn't consider that great. I was just making a joke at how terrible Barbosa is.

It's worse than that. I think we held them to under 25% on first shot attempts. That ought to be a blowout.
