Game Blog: Spurs @ Clippers - Nov. 1

[senorglory]

anyone else get a boner when Splitter checked in?

[dougp]

Too many turnovers in the first quarter ...

Griffin can only dunk? Does he have a shot?

Blair ... wtf dude? Though that last foul was charity ...

Neal & Anderson look great with no hesitation.

[BanditHiro]

i hadn't seen griffin before, hes gonna be good

to much sloppiness though

[ShoogarBear]

Anderson, Neal, and Hill can really alter some games if they keep playing like that.

Unfortunately, so can Blair if he keeps playing like this.

[Cessation]

having no bogans and mason is great, feels like i just woke up from a bad dream

[Spurs Brazil]

Bad
Defense
TOs
Rebs
Blair
Hill

Good
Neal

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'm still really really worried about the perimeter D.

Glad about Splitter's defense with the P N R. He also has very nice footwork.

[BanditHiro]

anyone else get a boner when Splitter checked in?

i don't know about a boner but i got a broner...

[DesignatedT]

definitely need better play out of all our bigs.

[spectator]

answer me this: how are we still in this game?

[Ice009]

Man Dejuan's defense is REALLY, REALLY bad.

After seeing Splitter for a few minutes, DB just doesn't seem to fit the Spurs game defensively.

[NASpurs]

I forgot Bonner even existed when Splitter came in the game.

[emanueldavidginobili]

griffen is the future of the nba

[jestersmash]

Bad
Defense
TOs
Rebs
Blair
Hill

Good
Neal

Good - Neal

and anderson, man has 3 assists and a 3.

[Spurologist]

Still waiting for Blair to put on a spurs uniform.

[AussieFanKurt]

Happy with Anderson, Neal and Splitter. The future. Blair needs some improvement thats for sure

[emanueldavidginobili]

answer me this: how are we still in this game?
because were shooting 56% or something around there

[spectator]

we need better defense - ginobili looks slow, defense looks uncoordinated, wth is happening?

[PBEEZY]

Clipper commentators thinking we're the shit

[TIMMYD!]

Neal 3333333333333333

[NASpurs]

Choooooooo chooooooooooooo

[blkroadrunners]

Neal is feelin it

[ohmwrecker]

I'm just looking for potential right now. Splitter is rusty, but is obviously already a making an impact. Anderson and Neal are fearless. When these guys settle a bit. This is going to be a good team.

[timtonymanu]

Neal 3333!

[emanueldavidginobili]

damnnn neal can shoot lol

[CFH]

Choo choo for 3!

[The Truth #6]

I love Neal's confidence. Balling.

[HarlemHeat37]

Clippers announcers sucking off the Spurs, as usual:lol..

Neal is just ridiculous right now..agree with DPG, looks like Mase in his 1st year, even though it's early..

[Refocus]

god damn neal.. nice

[Cessation]

omg fucking neal tree of the dribble in the face!~!!!!

[Libri]

Neal has no fear shooting the 3.

[TIMMYD!]

Hill is hurt. :depressed

[blkroadrunners]

Fuckin Rhino

[spurs_2108]

Come ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN Douche

[CFH]

Crap, hope Hill is okay...

[Death In June]

What a piece of shit

[timtonymanu]

Craig Smith, you piece of shit.

[TDomination]

freakin a! hill better be okay

[ShoogarBear]

Fuck. That was a Juwan Howard Mav move.

[AussieFanKurt]

Really love watching these younger blokes playing

[Libri]

uh oh, Hill hurt his shoulder

[DesignatedT]

this neal guy. keep playin this dude. guy is lights out.

[duncan228]

That was painful.

[AussieFanKurt]

Neal starter. Clips love the spurs

[Nathan89]

Good job ya big dumb ass

[AussieFanKurt]

Good work Georgie

[DPG21920]

Neal is reminding me of Mase when he had that confidence. Obviously, he would have to hit a lot of shots to reach that level, but I really like how hard he plays. Amazing what some confidence will do.

[BanditHiro]

that guy should be suspended for the year

[Spurologist]

Neall is on faiiiiiyaaa

[Death In June]

Hope that dude is fined a good chunk of change or suspended and possibly raped and beaten on his way out of the arena.

[Refocus]

That foul was a bitch move.

[DesignatedT]

even the pull up miss by neal was okay. dude has confidence about himself.

[dbestpro]

As long as he didn't get decapitated he should be ok.

[ohmwrecker]

Shit. That doesn't look good.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck you smith, sob

[TIMMYD!]

Really hope GH3 is alright. He might not be playing that well but he has to man our bench.

Edit: seems to be fine.

[AussieFanKurt]

Ejected I hope and deserving

[Barfunk]

Even though he's a sexual predator, Neal looks very good so far..he's earning a spot in the rotation

lol

[Spurologist]

Fuckin Craig Smith

[pawe]

Throw that bitch out!

[DPG21920]

Watch, Hill will start hitting that corner 3 now....Rookie of the year style.

[Cessation]

choo choooo!!

[NASpurs]

lol ejected

[blkroadrunners]

Rhino is out of the jungle.

[MaNu4Tres]

This Neal guy can light it up.

Thought Splitter's pick and roll defense was pretty damn good as well. (even for the small sample size of 3 minutes)

[TDomination]

smith is ejected, GOOD!

[Nathan89]

Hey where is that one idiot that said the spurs needed RMJ? I guess he cant show his face anymore. Neal is a very nice pick-up by the spurs.

[TIMMYD!]

Craig Smith is gone. Flagrant 2.

[Cessation]

dumbasss craig smith not even going for the ball

[NASpurs]

WTF he's high fiving and clapping like a fucking dumbass

[jestersmash]

In my opinion that was a Flagrant 1.5 which rounds up to a 2.

[ShoogarBear]

That's the type of injury that can cause a brachial plexus stinger.

[AussieFanKurt]

Cya Smith

[BanditHiro]

damn hill is gone too

[AussieFanKurt]

How can players not know flagrant 2 is ejection

[TDomination]

hill not shooting ft's, so he can't return?

[Libri]

Smith is gone.

Blair will not have an opportunity to administer some justice.

[TIMMYD!]

Manu shooting George's free throw's. No more Hill for the rest of the night.

[timtonymanu]

well it didnt look as bad when it happened to rudy fernandez.

[Refocus]

I love how that faggot was clapping as he left like he's a damn hero or something. meh

[senorglory]

Even though he's a sexual predator, Neal looks very good so far..

Even though he's a sexual predator, he sure nailed that outside pull up.

[jestersmash]

How did Ginobili miss a free throw. He doesn't miss free throws.

[ShoogarBear]

Manu shooting George's free throw's. No more Hill for the rest of the night.

Nope, Hill can come back on a flagrant.

[ohmwrecker]

Hey where is that one idiot that said the spurs needed RMJ? I guess he cant show his face anymore. Neal is a very nice pick-up by the spurs.

Chazley! #1 Poster!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

That's the type of injury that can cause a brachial plexus stinger.
That isn't too serious is it?

[DJB]

George Hill just died.

[TIMMYD!]

6 point game. Spurs up.

[pawe]

LOL going for the ball? Idiot Smith is an idiot.

[ShoogarBear]

How are the Spurs winning this game?

[TDomination]

awesome!

[Spurologist]

That's the type of injury that can cause a brachial plexus stinger.

which can last 2 minutes or 2 weeks.....hopefully he's allright

[dbestpro]

Neal is a player.

[Cessation]

omg neal is hot!!!

[NASpurs]

CHOOOOOOOOOO CHOOOOOOOOO and JA!!

[timtonymanu]

Neal again! That game winner musta made him confident against the Clips.

[TIMMYD!]

JA just swatted that shit. Neal on the other end with a smooth jumper.

[Refocus]

Neal and Anderson OMFGG

[CFH]

JA with the block and choo choo scores again!

[DesignatedT]

nice pass neal.

[AussieFanKurt]

Disappointed with the call.... wtf it was blatant

[Chomag]

Gary Neal just might be our X-factor this year.

[DesignatedT]

anderson and neal! yessir!

[hoopdreams11]

neal is showing a nice feel for offense right now

[HarlemHeat37]

Unlike Mason, sexual predator Neal is battling for rebounds too:lol..man, I wish this guy wasn't a semi-rapist, it would be easier to cheer for him..

Anderson continues to impress me..

[AussieFanKurt]

Holy shit. Go neal and anderson

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Damn Neal is smooth

[ShoogarBear]

That isn't too serious is it?

Usually not. But it's a nerve, so there's always a possibility that damage can be prolonged or recurrent.

[jestersmash]

Neal and Anderson are the truth.

[siraulo23]

omg neal and anderson playing well

[CFH]

I am loving JA and Choo Choo

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal and Anderson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Libri]

That Neal jumper started on a defensive play. I love defense. :downspin:

[G-Dawgg]

Man.. G-Train looks like everything Money Mase was "supposed" to be! Now for him to hit some game winners....
Go Gary Neal!!!

[AussieFanKurt]

Neal 10, 3 and 2. Good work son

[DJB]

Gary Neil is l-e-g-i-t.

[spurs_2108]

why do we call neal choo choo?

[BOHOLANO#21]

choo-choo NEAL for two!!!!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Our 2nd unit is playing great.

[bbarry]

Hill is still allowed to come back in the game right? Even though he didn't take his FTs, since it was a flagrant?

[ShoogarBear]

LMAO. Clipper Fan is saying "WTF?? GARY NEAL???"

[pawe]

Im hoping for Neal to be our 3rd qtr drought buster this season.
Great pick up for the Spurs!

[NASpurs]

I love JA and Neal running train on the Clippers

[timtonymanu]

I'm so happy Bogans and Mason have been replaced with Neal and Anderson.

[BanditHiro]

Unlike Mason, sexual predator Neal is battling for rebounds too:lol..man, I wish this guy wasn't a semi-rapist, it would be easier to cheer for him..

Anderson continues to impress me..

are you shitting me...fuck!!! now we can't call kobe a rapist if we have one of our own sjdfjsdjfasjd;skdfjklsdfjklsdfjksdajf;

[Danny.Zhu]

Neal is on fire!

Blair got owned?

[ezau]

Wow Neal is amazing.

[Spurologist]

sexual predator FTW!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Sweet. Hill can come back in.

[BOHOLANO#21]

why do we call neal choo choo?
u gotta do u'r research here in ST....lol

[45 bank shot]

NEAL is unreal

[pawe]

Unlike Mason, sexual predator Neal is battling for rebounds too:lol..man, I wish this guy wasn't a semi-rapist, it would be easier to cheer for him..

Anderson continues to impress me..

Funny the first time you moron.
Dont wear it out maggot!

[Sisk]

why do we call neal choo choo?

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=train

[Pauleta14]

Neal is my new favorite player!!!! :lol

[dbestpro]

why do we call neal choo choo?

You don't want to know.

[TIMMYD!]

GH3 is coming back. Apparently that rule doesn't apply when it's ruled a fragrant.

[DPG21920]

Gary Neal: Just added by 1,000,000 people in fantasy...

[Nathan89]

I don't want to lump anderson with Neal because Neal has been far more impressive. The guy just stopped and popped on a fast break. Just WOW.

Oh shit:wow its thundering outside. Yikes

[CFH]

Well good to see Rasual Butler miss his first 3, he killed in that preseason game.

[Death In June]

I havent seen a spurs unit play with this much energy in years.

[DesignatedT]

keep shooting neal if they gun leave you wide like that

[DJB]

Man, these Clippers commentators sounds like they're Spurs commentators.

[ohmwrecker]

Unlike Mason, sexual predator Neal is battling for rebounds too:lol..man, I wish this guy wasn't a semi-rapist, it would be easier to cheer for him...

Alleged . . . tbh

[Chomag]

Damn, something has been wrong with timmy since the last game.

[pawe]

Holy shit, awesome move by Griffin

[DPG21920]

I might be overreacting, but it really concerns me seeing Tim play like this two games in a row with rest in-between for both games.

[DesignatedT]

damnit tim. wake up

[hoopdreams11]

how many turnovers does timmy have?

[jiggy_55]

NEAL and ANDERSON are ballers!!! Loving them both

[maddnezz]

Clipper player " i got this! " JA "let me hold dat!" Smotherd chicken!

[TIMMYD!]

Tim needs to hold on to that fucking ball, two strips in a row.

[HarlemHeat37]

Is Duncan being serious right now?..is he aware that he's playing in an NBA game?..

[Tp9gospursgo]

Duncan is playing a little slow tonight..... to me anyway

[timtonymanu]

Come on Timmy!

[blkroadrunners]

That gotta hurt.

[dbestpro]

That what Simmons is for. Now I get it.

[Ice009]

TIM hold the fucking BALL MAN.

[MaNu4Tres]

I'm really surprised with the confidence and toughness Neal plays with.

Him and Anderson off the bench are huge upgrades over Mason and Bogans.

Spurs needed that coming into this season.

Can Simmon GTFO by the way

[siraulo23]

ouch

[MaNu4Tres]

I'm really surprised with the confidence and toughness Neal plays with.

Him and Anderson off the bench are huge upgrades over Mason and Bogans.

Spurs needed that coming into this season.

Can Simmon GTFO by the way

[Spurs Brazil]

TD playing horrible

[jestersmash]

Neal is currently the MVP of the spurs for this game.

[NASpurs]

Nasty ass dunk x2

[ohmwrecker]

Simmons is playing tough d.

[Libri]

Monster dunk by Gordon.

[CFH]

Gordon with another big dunk

[AussieFanKurt]

Christ Duncan...

[Tito_Trinidad]

Is Timmy having personal problems? or something? he has been out of himself since start of the season.

[TIMMYD!]

Holy shit. :wow

Gordon just fucking killed with that dunk.

Dunk of the night. :wow

[Chomag]

There was like 0 help defence there

[Refocus]

welp number 1 on the nba top plays right there..

[HarlemHeat37]

Wow, Eric Gordon just Neal'd all over Anderson..

[ShoogarBear]

Lol, nice poster Anderson.

[Spurologist]

love the physical D by Simmons...don't back down

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Anderson almost had that block. Hell of a dunk by Gordon.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Ejole manu why did you go for the steal..

[Juanobili]

ouch

[timtonymanu]

getting posterized alot tonight.

I'm not confident in Timmy holding the ball right now. Hopefully he's just coasting right now.

[DPG21920]

What a ridic dunk again. Spurs interior defense is terrible right now. Timmy not controlling anything on either end for the past two games.

This might be the worst two games I have seen Tim play back to back without having a known injury.

[Kamala]

Spurs youth movement looks good
Clippers traded in their uniforms for Pistons Jerseys

[Chomag]

Seriously though, is Tim hurt? He seems to be just standing around on defence.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

sick fking dunk holy shit

[DesignatedT]

manu....................... stupid fucking play

[dbestpro]

Timmy and Blair tonight seem to be in a galaxy far, far, away.

[NASpurs]

Our big three are taking a shit right now

[AussieFanKurt]

oh what a dunk

[DJB]

All I've seen Tim Duncan do so far is turn the ball over.

[flox]

James Anderson has no fear..

[pawe]

Dont worry Anderson, its still only just 2 pts.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs defense is pathetic, P A T H E T I C

I hope Tiago can play more minutes to help

[ohmwrecker]

Are Manu and Blair sharing a goddamn brain this season?!

[bigdog]

I'm shaking my head at Gordon right now. He's playing out of his mind. Good to see Simmons aggressive.

[DesignatedT]

manu gave up that dunk. not the interior defense. they were in an out of bounds set.

[Nathan89]

Duncan hasn't showed any post up ability this year:cry. His one good game was all jumpers and I for one am starting to get a little worried.

[Pauleta14]

This dunk was insane... what a jump!

[duncan228]

Something's off with Duncan. Hope he's okay, we're not always told if something's wrong. :(

[Death In June]

Simmons is Pop's new bogans/bonner.

[TIMMYD!]

Was really hoping for Tim to have one of those games where he shows the rookie hot shot how its done.

[DesignatedT]

Simmons is playing better defense than any of our bigs.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

damn

[BanditHiro]

unbelievable the starters can't keep what the bench build

[Libri]

Damn, nobody was defending the perimeter.

[CFH]

TP with the J

[maddnezz]

Nice play Gordon,gotta be careful goin up and down like that! By next month JA will go harder 4 da block and Gordon will be on his assmenoquestions! Rookie respect by JA.

[Chomag]

Spurs D seems astep or 2 slow at everything

[Spurologist]

Love the fact that Anderson is challenging that shit though. RMJ would run away from the play tapping his ass.

[HarlemHeat37]

Manu just ran to get a fast break basket instead of playing D, and then Simmons and Anderson missed the rotation..typical Spurs D..

Clippers are making a lot of garbage shots, it won't last..

[TIMMYD!]

Another 33333 by Gomes. Fuck me.

[CFH]

WTF Gomes

[Ice009]

I don't want to lump anderson with Neal because Neal has been far more impressive. The guy just stopped and popped on a fast break. Just WOW.

Oh shit:wow its thundering outside. Yikes

Neal can dribble the ball and he seems comfortable with it. That is already better than Mason Jr. in that aspect of the game. Playing well so far.

[Tito_Trinidad]

Timmy is ending his career a la Mike Tyson, you know, being KO badly, a bum.

[BanditHiro]

stupid manu that dunk led to this.

[NASpurs]

JA For threeeeeeeee

[CFH]

JA for 3!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

hell yeah anderson

[Pauleta14]

WTF is happening to Tony????

He doesn't wanna score anymore or what??

[Refocus]

shut them up James. Awww yea

[Cessation]

neal and anderson continuing runnign the train on these clips

[Libri]

Anderson = zone buster

[Chomag]

MAn, Pop should just play the bench like starter and the starters like the bench at this rate

[AussieFanKurt]

Looking good JA

[CFH]

There you go Parker

[DesignatedT]

great job by duncan and anderson. way to hit james.

[ShoogarBear]

WTF Gomes

[TIMMYD!]

Gomes can't fucking miss.

[weebo]

the starting unit's defense sucks ass

[CFH]

Nice shot by RJ

[8FOR!3]

I can see why Simmons plays small ball PF in the NBA. He's aggressive and plays good defense against bigs despite his lack of size.

[Spurologist]

live look in on nbatv

[Tito_Trinidad]

Seriously, im thinking Duncan is having personal problems. His mind is not in playing basketball since game 1. He is on court just filling up an spot in the floor. He does nothing in D, nothing in Offense,,,,he just stand up there, doing Turnovers

[Cessation]

Anderson looks so much more comfortable than even last game.

[Kamala]

Cayman is the best albino player in the league

[dbestpro]

Would like to have seen Splitter back in.

[pawe]

RMJ haters out in full force tonight.
He's already in NY, talent scouts.

[HarlemHeat37]

Bobby Simmons' only use is playing aggressive post D, which serves no use at all, since he's not a big man..he doesn't do anything else..

[Tp9gospursgo]

Didn't Tim play well the first game? what happened?

[ShoogarBear]

Nice D by RJ.

Wait . . . what did I just say?

[DPG21920]

They are going right at Tim. They have no fear of the Spurs bigs anymore.

[CFH]

Sloppy

[8FOR!3]

Timmy is ending his career a la Mike Tyson, you know, being KO badly, a bum.

No I don't know.

But I do know you're a bum.

[BanditHiro]

they are playing zone bring in your three point shooter pop

[NASpurs]

Timmy!

[Tp9gospursgo]

There we go Timmay

[CFH]

Oh, there's Timmy

[duncan228]

Maybe that will get Duncan going.

[timtonymanu]

Any updates on Hill?

[DPG21920]

RJ is playing really well. On both ends. Very active.

[CFH]

Nice job by RJ to tip that pass

[BanditHiro]

unbelievable can the clippers chill out and let us win

[CFH]

Damn, there went a for sure layup.

[ohmwrecker]

Smooth RJ!
