[noles1983]

manu has balls, any of you other fuckers like to show up?

[CFH]

OMG Manu!!!

[bigbendbruisebrother]

We've gotta play better D after Manu does his thing.

[TheProfessor]

Got to get back on D after those makes...

[ohmwrecker]

Manu putting the team on his back.

[WildcardManu]

what an asshat jon barry is

[007nites]

Ginobili needs to go for 20 points this quarter

[Capt Bringdown]

hmm...can we get a stop?

[NewJerSpur]

Manu hit it, but that was not a good shot.

No, no it wasn't. Hopefully he's getting ready to zone out.

[LakerHater]

He jus neede some rest!!


But the D is stinkin it up.... C'MON!!!

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Dice!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

There we go DICE!

[ShoogarBear]

Dice!!!!!

[DPG21920]

Dice looks so athletic sometimes.

[TheProfessor]

McDyess getting up!

[Refocus]

That was a mans move by Dice!

[resistanze]

At least they're running them off the 3PT.

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice DUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Texas_Ranger]

Dice!

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Good D. Tough bucket by Richardson.

[quentin_compson]

Dice with some inside scoring.

[CFH]

Dice with the dunk!!! Where's the defense??? I'm tired of trading baskets, can't keep this up all game.

[ohmwrecker]

That was McNice!

[GSH]

Tony missing 4 FT's in a row brought everyone down. Maybe Manu can get them fired up again.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

J Rich is Manu's fifi.

[NewJerSpur]

Man this 3rd quarter has gone by quick with only 1 timeout.

[007nites]

Vintage McDyess! Wasnt suspecting that.

[DPG21920]

That was good defense. Much smarter. Yes, Rich made the shot, but they are running them off the 3 PT lines. Now guys just need to rotate a bit faster.

[Warlord23]

Zero post up plays for Timmy in this quarter

[4>0rings]

That was McNice!I giggled.

[ALVAREZ6]

Dice is my boy. If Bonner misses his next shot, no more of him. Dice all the way. Dice and Dejuan.

[L.I.T]

For all of that, Spurs still only up 6.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Tony is really hindering the ball movement.

[ShoogarBear]

Damn, TD has had a bunch of boards go off his fingertips.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That was pre-kee Dice!

Why is TP so passive???

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bleh.....

[DPG21920]

Great defense by TP. Stupid pass though.

[resistanze]

Bad pass

[timtonymanu]

Hill blows.

[LakerHater]

Bad pass tony!

[NewJerSpur]

Damn. Bad pass Tony.

[Spurologist]

Jon Barry hating on tp for a nice pass... FUCK YOU BITCH

[TheProfessor]

Damn't, Parker had Manu on his right if he had just seen him...

[GSH]

No place for Hill to go if he had handled the pass. Nice work Tony.

[ffadicted]

lol: "Steve nash could pull that off, tony parker, not so much"

what an ass

[HarlemHeat37]

Horrible pass from TP and horrible job by Hill to slow down..saw that coming a mile away, sadly..

[Libri]

STFU Jon Barry

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Jon Barry is an idiot

[alchemist]

Anyone see how TP defended Hill? That's something G. Hill can't do.

[TheManFromAcme]

nice strip from Amare

[Warlord23]

How many bad fastbreaks have we had this game?

[ALVAREZ6]

As good as the spurs are shooting now, still only up 6. To win, defense needs to be present for rest of game.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I <3 Mcdyess

[CFH]

Dice J

[NewJerSpur]

Diiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!

[4>0rings]

RJ you're such a pussy.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Dice!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck you FRYE

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes DIce!

[DPG21920]

OMG Frye. This is disgusting. They won't miss when it matters.

[VBM]

Jefferson can't do shit...maybe he can at least make a FT?

[CFH]

Son of a bitch, every time the Spurs build the lead the Suns hit a goddamn 3!!!

[WildcardManu]

JON BARRY

http://freedomofphiladelphia.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/stfu.jpg

[Spurologist]

unfuckingbelievable.......how did Frye become Larry Bird

[ALVAREZ6]

He better make his FTs...come on Richard

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Transition D please. Every time we hit a big bucket, we give up a wide open one.

[LakerHater]

Way ta attack the rim RJ!

[NewJerSpur]

1 time RJ...

[TheProfessor]

Jefferson, of course, can't finish. I know, I know, it's shocking.

[Shastafarian]

lol at Barry saying Parker can't make that pass but Nash can.

[resistanze]

They need to drop kick Frye a la Bruce Bowen.

[Ice009]

Channing Frye better not be Sean Elliott's love child otherwise I am going to bash Sean ;).

[L.I.T]

I wonder if we're gonna hear anything positive about the Spurs from Jon Barry.

[Biggems]

Why is the sam fuck can we not make the shot when we are fouled? I swear all year long we have had this problem...it is killing us in this series...

we get fouled, we miss the shot...then miss one or both FTs.

PHX gets fouled, makes the shot and most of the time makes the FT.

[Spurologist]

Horrible pass from TP and horrible job by Hill to slow down..saw that coming a mile away, sadly..

it was a bad decision but not a bad pass

[Mr.Robinson]

Jefferson can't do shit...maybe he can at least make a FT?

Let's hope that drive gets him going.

[DPG21920]

Nice RJ.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

RJ with the clutch free throws. Cough.

[NewJerSpur]

Get a stop.

[quentin_compson]

Wow, that was cold-blooded by Frye. Good pass by Tim after that.

[CFH]

RJ hits both fts, I'm surprised...

[ohmwrecker]

Come on, RJ . . . Attack!

[dbreiden83080]

Nash just does not miss anything..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Suns make EVERYTHING!

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill doing nothing today

[GSH]

lol at Barry saying Parker can't make that pass but Nash can.

Barry is an asshole - but Nash WOULDN'T have made that pass.

[Mr.Robinson]

I wonder if we're gonna hear anything positive about the Spurs from Jon Barry.

Who's that? Brent's less talented and bitter brother?

[TheManFromAcme]

Someone put a butt-plug in Barry's mouth.

[CFH]

Still trading baskets, ugh...

[timtonymanu]

Wow what a change. The Suns and the Spurs have switched places in mentality.

Pop, no more weak minded players. Get some goddamn tough players.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

George Hill is getting an education.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Is TP's pf playing up? He looks slow and passive and that's a killer for us.

[4>0rings]

Hill is such a bum in this series.

[HarlemHeat37]

I hate when they ignore Duncan in the post..

[NewJerSpur]

The subs are going to have to keep up the execution....it's going to come down to the bench to help save the season because we can't ride the starters into the ground with a game coming up Sunday.

[ohmwrecker]

it was a bad decision but not a bad pass

It was a bad pass and a bad decision. Should've passed to Manu.

[DPG21920]

Suns have an answer for everything. This is two absolute brutal series the Spurs have had to play.

Spurs playing well, but the Suns showing a lot of heart and clutchness. Spurs just have to keep focusing on defense. They need to run them off the 3 point line. Then just be patient/aggressive on offense.

[ALVAREZ6]

Tony is really hindering the ball movement.

I honestly have always thought he does this all the time. He's not a point guard, just a small shooting guard.

[TheProfessor]

Jon Barry makes me long for the insightful witticisms of Marc Jackson.

[dbreiden83080]

lol at Barry saying Parker can't make that pass but Nash can.

He never played in Phoenix so what is with the Suns dick-sucking??

[alchemist]

somebody abducted George Hill's defense....

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We looked tough in the first round against Dallas, can't say the same now though.

[slick'81]

for real frye and nash are fucking ridiculous right now miss a shot fuckers!!

[Pauleta14]

Anyone see how TP defended Hill? That's something G. Hill can't do.

+1

I love Tony's D during the PO...

He is sucking offensively though tonight, I don't don't what's the deal...

[NewJerSpur]

I hate when they ignore Duncan in the post..

Especially when all of the switching the Suns have done is leaving him with MUCH smaller defenders.

[WildcardManu]

Can't stand the BSPN lovefest for Lebroom James.

[quentin_compson]

Wow what a change. The Suns and the Spurs have switched places in mentality.


Exactly what I'm thinking for the third straight game now.

[007nites]

We need to close on Frye after every big play we make!

[Ice009]

Wow what a change. The Suns and the Spurs have switched places in mentality.

Pop, no more weak minded players. Get some goddamn tough players.

I've never really looked for nice guys. I'm always looking for killer like Stephen Jackson.

Anyway with the big three you can bring in some players that are not nice guys. They will learn to fall in line.

[noles1983]

gentry sounds autistic

[phxspurfan]

unfuckingbelievable.......how did Frye become Larry Bird

Add him to the list...



Guys who have suddenly become superstars when seeing the Spurs in the opposing unis (in random order):

Barea
Bayless
Lowry
Diaw
Peterson (Morris)
Wells (Bonzi)
Vujacic
Jerome James

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Gentry. Mkay?

[Spurologist]

I miss D'antoni in the suns huddle

[DPG21920]

Great coaching by Alvin. "There is nothing that they can throw at us that we can't handle". His team is playing exactly like that as well.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Ginobili for 222222222222222

[CFH]

Good lawd Manu!!!

[miss paxton]

Jon Barry makes me long for the insightful witticisms of Marc Jackson.

:lol

About the only announcer I don't mute is Hubie.

[TheManFromAcme]

Gino

[TheProfessor]

Gentry is such a steady presence on the sidelines. Very even-keeled.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

idea. Feed Manu.

[Biggems]

Alvin Gentry sounds like a black girl from the ghetto

[Capt Bringdown]

Even though we've got the lead, it feels we're getting manhandled.

[WildcardManu]

fuck yeah

[DPG21920]

Wow, lucky call for Tim.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Dice is awesome!

[NewJerSpur]

Nice sequence there.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Nice energy.

[ffadicted]

seriously tim..... seriously

[HarlemHeat37]

Huge foul on Frye, good call..sadly, it means Duncan going to the line..

[WildcardManu]

Motherfucking shit, timmmmy

[GSH]

WTF took so long to call that foul?

[CFH]

More missed fts...

[slick'81]

wha wha whaaaaaa

[DPG21920]

It was a foul, but it was late. Tim, your FT's are making me sick.

[L.I.T]

Very tough call?

Jesus, Barry. Come on.

[Bulwark]

Of course he won't make the FTs

[01Snake]

TD's free throwing makes me sick

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Timmy. Hit a free throw. Please.

[tp2021]

FREE throws. FREE.

[LakerHater]

DAMN that was a hard miss, BONK!

[Biggems]

That is why we ignore duncan in the post....he isnt making his shots and when fouled he is missing his FTs at record pace

[Ice009]

Has anyone ever asked Sean about Frye possibly being his illegitimate child???

[hitmanyr2k]

Christ....if the Spurs lose this game there's nowhere else to look but the foul line. Ridiculous.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Finally.

[4>0rings]

Wells (Bonzi)
Wells got a huge contract just because of a series against the Spurs, then went back under his rock with his money. :lmao

[007nites]

Definetly a foul

[Mr.Robinson]

Can't stand the BSPN lovefest for Lebroom James.

Can't stand Duncan's retarded ass free throw shooting.

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, Dice is battling.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Barry is a massive douche. That was a CLEAR foul. If the ball goes up. it usually means you hit the wrist/forearm.

[resistanze]

Too quick.

[VBM]

5 point swing...make a open jumper, Hill

[bigbendbruisebrother]

George Hill ain't allowed to miss that shot.

[DPG21920]

Smart defense there. Spurs have to close out this quarter. Nash is absolutely amazing.

[DPG21920]

Spurs missing open shots.

[pawe]

shooters missing everything except gino

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck :(

[4>0rings]

:lmao

[slick'81]

nash to j-rich

[DPG21920]

Suns don't miss open shots.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Hill looks suddenly not as long.

[NewJerSpur]

Why leave Richardson.

[HarlemHeat37]

Hill misses a momentum 3, McDyess misses a wide open J..those plays kill teams and kill momentum..

[alchemist]

lol 3
lol deja vu

[CFH]

I love when the Spurs leave Richardson wide open, fuckin' shit!!!

[TheManFromAcme]

bad pass dice

[bigbendbruisebrother]

God dam it.

[Mal]

spurs play terrible

[GSH]

You gotta love Richarson being all alone on the 3P line... like 6 times this game.

[TheProfessor]

Very tired pass from Dice.

[slick'81]

lol@ amare

[4>0rings]

This team just f u c k i n g s u c k s

[sammy]

Manu out and there goes the lead! WTF aren't we driving down the lane and settling for jumpshots!

[tp2021]

It's like they're only playing 4 players on defense.

[DPG21920]

At least RJ made a good rotation.

[ALVAREZ6]

god damnit rj you could have tried to snag that ball before it got to amare

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill missed that open 3 and Suns run

[bigbendbruisebrother]

TP is really initiating that stand around offense well. Come on Tony. Be Tony 2007.

[L.I.T]

Oh no.

Bonner is in.

[SCdac]

Wow. If George Hill hit that three a few possessions ago, this is like a 9-10 point lead... Now the Spurs have gone on a droubt.

[phxspurfan]

I hate it when guys grab a rebound, take a few dribbles, pick it up and start dribbling again.

[WildcardManu]

got that right, his face got in the way

[Chieflion]

Don't switch! This is just fucked up. Steve Nash is carving out a statue on the Spurs defense.

[LakerHater]

Thank you ref!!

[DPG21920]

Spurs need a little 6-0 spurt here.

[Spurologist]

Barbosa flopping like a fucking fish

[NewJerSpur]

Good job by Tony of forching J-Rich to Timmy on that last screen instead of to the baseline.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Barbosa needs to stop guarding with is face.

[slick'81]

lol these announcers suck balls

[TheProfessor]

:lol What was Barbosa doing?

[Biggems]

Dick isnt scoring, but he is getting rebounds and hustling out there.....even though his offense is impotent

[NewJerSpur]

..........

[Ice009]

No Manu and the Spurs have fallen apart.

J-Rich 5/6 three. What the fuck is it with this guy. I remember watching him play for the Warriors about 5 , 6 years ago and thought to myself this is the worst game I have ever seen and there was nothing but brick after brick after brick from J-Rich. How did he become this good at shooting? Is it only this season or has he been shooting well for a few seasons?

[resistanze]

Duncan need to stop drinking whatever Shaq is drinking.

[sammy]

Another missed FT! Come on Duncan!

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Jon Barry gargling Suns nuts.

[Ice009]

No Manu and the Spurs have fallen apart.

J-Rich 5/6 three. What the fuck is it with this guy. I remember watching him play for the Warriors about 5 , 6 years ago and thought to myself this is the worst game I have ever seen and there was nothing but brick after brick after brick from J-Rich. How did he become this good at shooting? Is it only this season or has he been shooting well for a few seasons?

[ALVAREZ6]

I love when the Spurs leave Richardson wide open, fuckin' shit!!!

Me too, but as much as we love it, believe me when I say the Spurs love it a lot more. It's only explanation for the number of open threes they get.

[CFH]

And more missed fts...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

How can we go from defensively dominant to unable to get a stop? Matchups. We were made to beat Dallas this year, but just as equally the Suns are a nightmare matchup for us.

Can't win without stops.

[Shastafarian]

It's like watching a football team bobble handoffs. They're called FREE throws for a reason.

[01Snake]

Way to go Tim.

[TheManFromAcme]

FT's are killing the Spurs...lack off making them

[pawe]

Duncan and parker...free throws!

[LakerHater]

C'Mon D!

[Biggems]

Spurs up by 3, and missed 12 FTs

[hitmanyr2k]

I can't believe the lack of focus being displayed by the Spurs stars on the foul line. Pathetic.

[GSH]

The guy is 5-6 from the 3P line, and 2-7 everywhere else. Hell yes, leave him open from outside.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Matt Bonner for 33333333333333 :lol

[Spurologist]

BOOOOOOnnnneeeeeerrrrr 33333333333333333333

[phxspurfan]

Bonner!!

[ffadicted]

RrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrEEEEEEEEEEEEEED RAWWWWWWWWWWWKEEEET

[Mal]

Its so simple. Just foul a Spur

[HarlemHeat37]

Tony is playing a horrible game..he's missing a lot of passes and making poor decisions..

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Matt!

[pawe]

fucking bonner finally!!!!

[DPG21920]

It is unreal the shots the Spurs are missing and that the Suns are making in the same situation.

Tim, I cannot believe I am watching you crumble at the FT line like this.

[TheManFromAcme]

Bonner!!

[slick'81]

no answer for bonner fuck u phoenix lol

[Biggems]

Another bullshit call for Frankenstein.

Does it matter, he cant make a FT

[noles1983]

WTF every player in the league should have to shoot over 70%ft's.. You are getting paid to play basketball you fucktards. I can shoot fucking 70%

[phxspurfan]

...

[alchemist]

lol Bonner
lol dumbshit

[4>0rings]

Bonner you retard.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 333333333333333333333333333333

[007nites]

free throws?

[LakerHater]

what the fuck is this shit!

[slick'81]

former spurs pick for phoenix dragic nails a triple

[4RINGS]

Free throws...

[CFH]

Bonner is the only one raining 3s for the Spurs, wow... And it gets erased by a Dragic 3...

[TheManFromAcme]

When the fuck did Shaq become a better free throw shooter than Duncan?

:lol

[Capt Bringdown]

FT's have been our undoing. So sad.
Pathetic.
No excuse for this, call it what it is: CHOKING

[NewJerSpur]

Damn Rich.

[Ice009]

For fucks sake. Giving dragic threes is pathetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DPG21920]

lol Suns role players

[007nites]

we needed that 3 badly

[ALVAREZ6]

Fuck RJ. He's the worst acquisition in Spurs history.

[HarlemHeat37]

Now Hill is passing up shots..

[Texas_Ranger]

:(

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wow FUCK JRich

[TheManFromAcme]

Dang it!

[phxspurfan]

JRich is now Ray allen

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ and Hill are KILLING us

[sammy]

BS offensive foul! Bitch just flopped!

[noles1983]

Fuck you spurs i hope you get swept

[Mr.Robinson]

Spurs missing open shots.

Bonner didn't hesitate and hit that three.

[resistanze]

lol Dudley

[slick'81]

lol dudley u dmb shit

[DPG21920]

Great d by Bonner. Thank goodness. That would have been crippling.

[Biggems]

why isnt that delay of game on Dudley?

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Nice travel. Phew. Come on Manu.
