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

[sammy]

Fucking Bonner showing no D and left the asshole wide open for 3! Fuck!

[TDfan2007]

How many shots of ours have just rimmed right in and out? Frye is doing for them what Bonner can't for us.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice defense hill to cause that turnover.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Uggggghhhhh FUCK FRYE

[Ice009]

Bonner and Blair FAIL POP FAIL.

Bonner and Blair FAIL POP FAIL.
Bonner and Blair FAIL POP FAIL.
Bonner and Blair FAIL POP FAIL.

Bonner and Blair FAIL POP FAIL.

Bonner and Blair FAIL POP FAIL.

Bonner and Blair FAIL POP FAIL.

[NewJerSpur]

Finish strong.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

nice fucking ball watching matt bonner

[SCdac]

Bonner wishes he could have shooting stroke like Frye, Bonner just flings it up there.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Too much momentum for PHX.....

[Death In June]

Ginobli is failing this team hard.

[slick'81]

so we get a break on a call then promptly turn the ball over

[lefty]

Wtf manu

[Shastafarian]

:lol

[DesignatedT]

manu is fucking this game up one play at a time. wtf is he doing. playing like a bitch. take the ball to the fucking rim

[Mal]

Blair and Bonner.... 0-9 run...

[Bulwark]

WTF Gino

[royal2006]

the more borner , more we lose

[Juanobili]

nice one Manu

[HarlemHeat37]

Manu is just out of it in this game..sad..

[Spurologist]

WOW MANU!!!!

seriously??????????

[Ice009]

POP you are an idiot.

WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK. You cannot play Bonner and Blair. FUCK.

[TDfan2007]

I'm sorry guys but this game is over. Manu's head isn't in it today. Tim's cooled off. Bonner...just...*sigh*

[resistanze]

Between Ginobili's idiocy and Bonner's uselessness, it's hard to root for them.

[Spursox]

The wheels are falling off...

[Fpoonsie]

Spurs collapsing...

[sigh] WHY would you make that pass into triple coverage, Manu? Jesus.

[slick'81]

without tim phoenix is looking to stomp our ass

[timtonymanu]

Sigh

we're coming back to SA down 0-2.

Suns really want this more than us.

Pathetic, Spurs!

[NewJerSpur]

Get a basket here and cut the game down to one possession...we get the ball to start the 4th.

[Knoxxx]

Blair needs to play, Boner does not. If need a 4th big for a min or so at the end of the quarter, go with Ian.

Bottom line, Suns have been able to crowd the paint due to our lack of 3 PT shooting.

[DontStopBelieving]

Bonner+Blair combo is deadly.. To the Spurs

[ShoogarBear]

bonner clanks a wide open three

channing frye with a 3 over bonner

story of the fucking game man


fify

[Spurologist]

nice tp!!!!!!

2 for 1

[itzsoweezee]

manu's been shit all game. pathetic.

[sammy]

Another call to bail out the asshole Nash! Send Bogans in to hip check this bitch!

[DesignatedT]

what do you know... tony mans up and takes the ball to the basket.... MANU?????????????????????????????????

[mexicanjunior]

That's why I have the volume turned down. I've watched many of the games that way. I just can't stand how the announcers slobber all over the other team.

Damn - ANOTHER 3. :depressed :bang :ihit :depressed :bang

They deserve all the praise they are getting...the Spurs haven't earned any kudos whatsoever...

[ceperez]

Parker is still playing well.... let's just hope!

[Sigz]

Spurs suck.

[CFH]

More missed free throws...

[01Snake]

Hit your fucking freethrows!

[Death In June]

Argh, freethrows.

[magui86770]

So is someone in Manu's family kidnap and the kidnappers told him to throw this game?

[Crookshanks]

9-0 run. The Spurs work so hard to get a decent lead, and then Pop screws up the lineup and the Suns make a run - EVERY TIME. This is so darn frustrating

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Don't worry SA Barbosa usually starts the 4th quarter.

[NewJerSpur]

Just cut it to a one-possession game.

[Spurologist]

If you have bailed on this game then :flipoff

[Mr.Robinson]

Are you kidding, Bonner?

Cue the Suns run.

Bonner needs to sit the fuck out. Guy is just fucking pathetic. Frye is killing him. If the Suns win Pop has to think of something.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Jefferson came to play at least!

[HarlemHeat37]

Channing Frye shot 36% vs. Portland and he shot 36% in the playoffs last year..he's a legit playoff choker..

He has confidence vs. the Spurs though..he's usually going up against Bonner, one of the few guys that chokes harder than he does, and the Spurs are usually very poor at rotating against him, often getting completely wide open 3s..

He doesn't choke as hard as Bonner, but Frye is definitely a moist pussy too..

[slick'81]

thats right rj dont u dare pass that shit to bonner lmao

[NewJerSpur]

Nice shot Rich. Still in it.

[tdunk21]

atleast RJ is playin well...

[ffadicted]

Nice little finish I suppose..... 12 minute to go, let it all hang out Pop

[Spurologist]

:lmao

RJ was gonna pass to Bonner but said fuck you and shot it in

[Juanobili]

Thank you RJ

for not passing it to Matt

[TDfan2007]

Thank God for RJ...too bad for us Manu decided to take the game off.

[lefty]

Dick!!!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

need more scoring from RJ

[resistanze]

:lmao Dick not passing it to Bonner.

[CFH]

At least RJ hit the J to end the quarter, down by 2 going into the 4th...

[TDomination]

thank you for ignoring bonner on that last shot

[Bulwark]

thank god rj didn't give that up to Bonner

[Ice009]

Rj is playing tonight.

Bonner and Blair. FAIL.

[01Snake]

Why the hell can't this Jefferson show up every game?

[007nites]

Rj

[cnyc3]

Thank you RJ

[duncan228]

If you have bailed on this game then :flipoff

Believe.

[DesignatedT]

good job rj....... where the fuck are you manu. playing like a fucking bitch. seriously. take the fucking ball to the rim. are you tired already or something?????????

[Crookshanks]

They deserve all the praise they are getting...the Spurs haven't earned any kudos whatsoever...

That's probably true - but it's still hard to listen to! :lol

[Barfunk]

I don't know for sure about this one but I think Bonner is worse than Mason

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

manu's been shit all game. pathetic.


Sounds weird.....but check his game-by-game production against Dallas, he didn't have 2 games within 48 hours of one another. I was hoping that trend would continue tonight and it did, so far.

[neboat]

Thank you RJ

for not passing it to Matt

:lol agreed

[carina_gino20]

If Manu gets his head out of his ass, we got this.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Why the hell can't this Jefferson show up every game?

He feeds off his teammates. If they can get him the ball when hes open he can do this every game.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Living in PHX being a Spurs fan and losing to the Suns is HORRIBLE.

[ceperez]

Isn't McDyess playing well? Why isn't he on the court much?

[Ice009]

9-0 run. The Spurs work so hard to get a decent lead, and then Pop screws up the lineup and the Suns make a run - EVERY TIME. This is so darn frustrating

FUCKING RIGHT ON. everytime we get a lead, Pop puts in the shit players and we get pummeled. UNBELIEVABLE.

[sammy]

Let's Go Spurs! Down by 2! Pop, take Bonner out!

[Doe]

Fuck you Matt Bonner, for that quarter and these playoffs. Choking asshole.

[royal2006]

the more borner , more we lose
more RJ, better we are

[007nites]

1st quarter: Duncan, 2nd quarter: Parker, 3rd: Jefferson, 4th: Ginobili?????????????????????

[NewJerSpur]

Channing Frye shot 36% vs. Portland and he shot 36% in the playoffs last year..he's a legit playoff choker..

He has confidence vs. the Spurs though..he's usually going up against Bonner, one of the few guys that chokes harder than he does, and the Spurs are usually very poor at rotating against him, often getting completely wide open 3s..

He doesn't choke as hard as Bonner, but Frye is definitely a moist pussy too..

What's worse is, he's not even breaking a sweat camping outside the arc....Dudley's working harder than him and he even gets help on Tim despite his size.

Got to strap up for the 4th and try to steal one. Play smart, patient basketball.

[Spurologist]

Believe.

:tu

[Bulwark]

Blair + Bonner = Fail

[LakerHater]

39% > 51%

[Quiet Strength]

Bonner and Blair on the court just does not work.. why does it take pop so damn long to figure shit out? It took him forever to figure out that finley should not play for the spurs anymore... and that mason shouldnt get anymore playing time.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs don't look like winners, no fire, getting out hustled. Lose this game, and the series is over.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

buckle up spurs fan, this 4th quarter is pretty much gonna determine the fate of this post-season.

[slick'81]

76-78 spurs need to keep timmy out of foul trouble and somehow pray manu gets it going

[mexicanjunior]

What's really depressing about this loss is we wasted our 1 good game from Jefferson a series. Once that card is used up, he will go back to his 3 point, 2 rebound, 2 assist routine for the remainder of the series.

[Dex]

Spurs within striking distance. Suns feeling comfy.

Believe.

[Crookshanks]

Isn't McDyess playing well? Why isn't he on the court much?

Bonner must've bought Pop a case of reaaaaaaalllly good wine!

[Shastafarian]

Bonner's stat line is hilarious.

14 min 0-4 FG 0-3 3PT 3 Reb 1 Stl 2 Blk 1 TO 2 PF

[Death In June]

This team seems rattled. Tony is the only one who looks confident in the shots he's taking.

[alchemist]

I hope that message from RJ to Bonner was enough to get his pussy ass going (so ironic)

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Please Spurs! BELIEVE

[007nites]

1st quarter: Duncan, 2nd quarter: Parker, 3rd: Jefferson, 4th: Ginobili?????????????????????????????

[tdunk21]

What's really depressing about this loss is we wasted our 1 good game from Jefferson a series. Once that card is used up, he will go back to his 3 point, 2 rebound, 2 assist routine for the remainder of the series.

we dint lose the game yet dumbo

[ffadicted]

RJ 7/10, if we drop this it would be so tragic, you know you'll never get a production from him like this again this series lmao

[the crimson blur]

FUCKING RIGHT ON. everytime we get a lead, Pop puts in the shit players and we get pummeled. UNBELIEVABLE.

I hate to inform you that Tim Duncan can't play 48 minutes.

[Crookshanks]

What's really depressing about this loss is we wasted our 1 good game from Jefferson a series. Once that card is used up, he will go back to his 3 point, 2 rebound, 2 assist routine for the remainder of the series.

This isn't a loss yet - it's a 2-point game. If you don't believe the Spurs can win it, then please do us all a favor and go post on a Suns board.

[Fpoonsie]

Manu was one of the only reasons we stayed IN the game on Monday night. Shitting on the guy for being a little fatigued is, well, kinda shitty IMO.

He could make better decisions with the ball, but...

[01Snake]

What's really depressing about this loss is we wasted our 1 good game from Jefferson a series. Once that card is used up, he will go back to his 3 point, 2 rebound, 2 assist routine for the remainder of the series.

A quarter to play and down by 2. You sir are a fucking idiot.

[Whisky Dog]

12 minutes til split. Bring the best, sharpest 12 minutes of the year right here.

[EricB]

Spurs don't look like winners, no fire, getting out hustled. Lose this game, and the series is over.


Prototypical comment from a French lover to give up that early.

[NewJerSpur]

buckle up spurs fan, this 4th quarter is pretty much gonna determine the fate of this post-season.

Not necessarily, but it will determine the temperature of this message board for the next 48 hours. :lol

[kinbenzoo]

wtf bonner doing

[slick'81]

under 80 going into the 4th is pretty good i guess lets take this from the fucking suns

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bonner still in....... FAIL

[Tp9gospursgo]

Manu needs to take this game over.

[vednam]

Ginobili needs to do something...

If he shows up in the 4th, Spurs win. If not, they lose.

[CFH]

There you go Manu, be aggressive.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

NVM :lol

[Spurologist]

:rollin

why did manu try to do a reverse layup when he didn't have to?????????

[Brazil]

This is manu time NOW we need you Manu NOW this quarter please

[Ice009]

Just start Bonner Pop. Learn your fucking lesson idiot.

[Thompson]

Paying Ian Mahinmi to sit on the bench and watch every game: $1 million

Paying Theo Ratliff for half a season before trading him: $1.3 million

Watching Matt Bonner off the bench as your back-up big man: Priceless (+ $3 million)

[Mr.Robinson]

good job rj....... where the fuck are you manu. playing like a fucking bitch. seriously. take the fucking ball to the rim. are you tired already or something?????????

Took it the rack as I read your post.

[slick'81]

tie game lets go fellas fuck missed one:bang

[NewJerSpur]

Damn Manu.

[alchemist]

somethings clearly off about Manu

[ShoogarBear]

Oh, man. Amare is going to feast on DeJuan.

[Ice009]

Manu is not in this game.

[resistanze]

Bonner is really a 10-12th man on a roster. I'm flabbergasted that he's getting ample minutes in a playoff game.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Hill for 33333333333333333

[Spurologist]

Hillllllll 33333333333333333333333

[ffadicted]

[NewJerSpur]

G-hiiiiiiiiiilllllllllll!!!

[TDomination]

[Tp9gospursgo]

[WildcardManu]

[CFH]

Georgie 3333333333333

[slick'81]

hill is automatic lol timeout suns

[NewJerSpur]

Oh, man. Amare is going to feast on DeJuan.

:nope

[TDfan2007]

Good aggressive drive from Manu. Blair playing great D on Amare. Hill with a ballzy 3! THAT is Spurs basketball. Fuck it took a while...

[007nites]

Hill!

[tdunk21]

thats the motherfuckin hill and RJ we all wanna see....right back in the motherfuckin game with the lead

[ShoogarBear]

Oh, man. Amare is going to feast on DeJuan.


Eat shit, Shoog.

[slick'81]

fuck the haters hill your the future ftw!!

[Ice009]

See look at that time out from the Suns. That is when you call a time out you fucking idiot Pop.

[ceperez]

Blair actually playing well defending (actually, denying the ball).

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Dejuan Blair with another big steal!!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

no bonner in there makes everything looks whole lot better

[pawe]

We are in this. GHILL3 for 3!!!

[duncan228]

hill228 checking in...

[DesignatedT]

there we go george

[HarlemHeat37]

Paying Ian Mahinmi to sit on the bench and watch every game: $1 million

Paying Theo Ratliff for half a season before trading him: $1.3 million

Watching Matt Bonner off the bench as your back-up big man: Priceless (+ $3 million)

:rollin

[Brazil]

I'm LOVIN' TP tonite he is great

Thank you George

[boutons_deux]

George pulling his head out.

Don't sit Tim too long.

Come on, Dejuan, raise some hell, so havoc.

[Sisk]

there you go georgie

bonner better not see one minute

[Rummpd]

Dice and Blair need to be the only bigs besides
Duncan the rest of the series - Bonner has abolutely had a brain fart tonight

[sammy]

Spurs up by 2! Good job George Hill/Blair!

[itzsoweezee]

yes

please stay with small ball. bonner and mcdyess aren't helping.

[TDomination]

Bonner is really a 10-12th man on a roster. I'm flabbergasted that he's getting ample minutes in a playoff game.

he's been a big part of our rotation all year, and actually played well in the regular season.

but yeah, he looks like a d-leaguer right now....maybe worse

[Sisk]

there you go georgie

bonner better not see one minute

[King K]

time out in 45 seconds lol...

[Crookshanks]

Good start to the quarter - let's hope the 3's start falling like the rain in Nashville!

[itzsoweezee]

yes

please stay with small ball. bonner and mcdyess aren't helping.

[mexicanjunior]

A quarter to play and down by 2. You sir are a fucking idiot.

I hope they prove me wrong...

[4>0rings]

:rollin

why did manu try to do a reverse layup when he didn't have to?????????He had a 1 handed jam and he did some MJ shit? :bang

[Quiet Strength]

no bonner in there makes everything looks whole lot better

Yup

[Pauleta14]

I told you!!!!!!!!!

George is my man!!!!

The guy is tough mentaly and a quick learner, I HAD NO DOUBT !!!!!!!!!

[Mr.Robinson]

fuck the haters hill your the future ftw!!
He needs to play D.

[alchemist]

See look at that time out from the Suns. That is when you call a time out you fucking idiot Pop.
calling a timeout isn't going to solve the issue of bonner/blair :lol

[Spurologist]

Oh, man. Amare is going to feast on DeJuan.

decent so far...his best D is fronting Amare. The players in the game can't hit him with a precise lob over Blair....only Nash.

So far so good. :tu

[Shastafarian]

Blair can do ok on A'm'a'r'e but Duncan will have to play at least 9 minutes of the 4th for the Spurs to have a chance to win.

[NewJerSpur]

Blair actually playing well defending (actually, denying the ball).

Whether he man's up on Amare or front him, he's owning. Amare isn't getting comfortable but the Suns are trying to force it because of the height disparity.

[pawe]

Thats how the spurs were when they played Phx before. Using the timeouts properly. Apparently, Pop forgot all of it already.

[Blackjack]

Go Georgie, it's your birthday!

He's allowed to show up late, just as long as he makes a grand appearance . . .

[HarlemHeat37]

Blair's ball-denial has been outstanding tonight..

His individual and team D is usually bad, but he's impressed me with the ball-denial..Phoenix will adjust though, we'll see how Blair adjusts..good strategy though, he should be mobile enough..

[Tp9gospursgo]

hill228 checking in...

:lol

[mexpurs21]

Did they change the ref?

[DontStopBelieving]

I hope they prove me wrong...

Do you really? ;)

[ajGambino]

Fucking Bonner is such horse shit...we take him out and get a lead.

TAKE A HINT POP, FUCKING CHRIST.

[Knoxxx]

Small ball!

[007nites]

Hill almost looked like Bowen shooting that pocket three ball

[slick'81]

keep fighting blair

[Death In June]

Has blair done anything but foul? Anything? I think he had a rebound and a tip in, right?

[Crookshanks]

Did they change the ref?

Yeah, I heard they did - what happened to the other one? Was he injured?

[NewJerSpur]

Suns counter by throwing a screen at Djuan coming across the floor trying to defend Amare.....smart.

[Spurologist]

Blair/RJ are your big men....seriously pop? Seriously???????

[slick'81]

barbosa yes

[sammy]

Bitch Dumdum just decked Blair and the foul is on Blair WTF!

[mexicanjunior]

Do you really? ;)

Since this game doesn't help their lottery chances any...yes.

[NewJerSpur]

Looked like Phoenix tipped that.

[CFH]

TO, bleh...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Yay for turnovers....

[Ice009]

LOL that is a bad pass TP. Now is not the fucking time.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Shit!!!!!

[Knoxxx]

We are giving the Suns all they want on their home court, let's hang in there its anyone's game still...

[mexpurs21]

Holly shit, Blair is having a nice game in the defensive end

[NewJerSpur]

Blair doing a good job on Amare but has to finish.

[Death In June]

All the hustle belongs to the suns.

[TDfan2007]

We HAVE to take advantage of missed opportunities.

[TDomination]

im sorry but where is the foul there on jefferson?

[Crookshanks]

weak foul call Joey

[Ice009]

FUCK it Blair trying to be a hero. FAIL.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Jared Dudley... WOW

[slick'81]

killer 3 there

[Spurologist]

Blair/RJ are your big men....seriously pop? Seriously???????

[Brazil]

manu is not there...

[Juanobili]

fuck you Jared Dudley

[CFH]

Another Suns 3, sigh...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

where is the fucking foul on RJ?

[Death In June]

Parker, two turn overs and a foul in a minutes time.

[Quiet Strength]

The spurs are choking again.. damn it

[Knoxxx]

Getting sloppy, we need a TO soon Pop.

[NewJerSpur]

Damn Tony, damn Rich.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Well...... :( :(

[Creation88]

these calls are awesome

[TDfan2007]

Jared Dudley deserves the game ball for the Suns. We don't have an energy guy this game. Usually it's Manu, but he's off tonight.

[Ice009]

Is pop going to put Duncan back in with Dice or is he going to wait until we're down fucking 10 again.

FUCK YOU POP.

[spursfanvic]

Where the heck is the drive to win right now? Just lethargic

[HarlemHeat37]

Jefferson's defense has completely negated his offensive contribution AND more..he's played some of the worst defense I've seen all year in this game..

Duncan needs to play the entire quarter..

[sammy]

Spurs don't have a chance! They are getting screwed by the refs everytime!

[CFH]

Timmy back in for Blair, do work TD

[Brazil]

ugly ugly ugly ugly TO ..... TP come on

[NewJerSpur]

these calls are awesome

Aren't they though.

[mexicanjunior]

LOL...Dudley will get killed by the Lakers in the 3rd round but in this series...he is going to be the MVP. Hairston could have been that type of energy player for us...too bad Mason is taking his roster spot. Thanks Pop...

[Creation88]

Spurs with 8 more fouls

[TDfan2007]

RJ so aggressive!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Rj being aggressive

[Juanobili]

Thats what we need rj!!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

can someone steal the refs' whistle?

[NewJerSpur]

ATTACK RJ.....and make your FT's. Good patience Manu.

[ohmwrecker]

When is Jared Dudley going to remember that he sucks?

[Creation88]

um calling Manu to the game

[Spurologist]

That's what im talking about RJ......we need your energy....keep attacking!!!

[Rummpd]

I am loving Jefferson's agressiveness

[007nites]

Jefferson is looking for a poster

[Knoxxx]

We still have to attack them hard at the basket. They play good position D but don't protect the rim especially well.

[tp2021]

What a bunch of chokers at the line

[NewJerSpur]

This is getting ridiculous.

[Death In June]

Where is Dice? Does pop know he can play more than 20 minutes a game? More FT troubles, surprise.

[TDfan2007]

FT shooting once again killing us.

[CFH]

Make your free throws ffs!!!

[Rummpd]

hit the damm FT

[Crookshanks]

Manu is so out of it tonight, he hasn't been this bad in a loooonnnggg time. Please Manu, you still have time to put on your cape and help save the day!

[Ice009]

Hit a free throw.

Hit it rj.

[spursfanvic]

Can we get the free throw school back?

[HarlemHeat37]

Dudley's actually a solid player..I'm just angry because they aren't boxing him out and they aren't rotating to his shots, particularly Jefferson..

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fact: richard jefferson cannot make FTs after a dunk attempt.

[slick'81]

picked apart our defense there

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Need Stops SA

[NewJerSpur]

Nice ball movement by the Suns.

[Capt Bringdown]

How are the Spurs still in this game? Seems like they should be down 20.

[ohmwrecker]

I hate Doug Collins' guts.

[NewJerSpur]

How was that not a foul?

[Brazil]

Manu for christ sake shoot the damn ball !!!!!!!!

is he afraid of something???

[mexicanjunior]

How are the Spurs still in this game? Seems like they should be down 20.

Shooting poorly, the have dominated every other aspect of this game.
