Game Blog: Spurs @ Suns - Nov. 3

[TIMMYD!]

Game over if the Suns score on this next possession.

[timtonymanu]

Our big 3 is really underachieving so far.

[chaco]

wtf....manu

[DesignatedT]

i cant believe how bad the officiating has been. Im not talking about shooting fouls, just all this ticky tack shit killing our momentum

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Well, there goes the game. No D, a series of TOs trying to go to Tim in double and triple teams, the old Nash-to-Stoudamire, except now it's Warrick, capped off by a fastbreak dunk by Richardson. I have definitely seen this before. Glitch in The Matrix??? :lol

[RedRaider]

Man Manu just sucked it up today.

[TinTin]

YEAH RIGHT, travel.

[DPG21920]

Damn, RJ. Tough break. Spurs need some stops.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Really? Really? I hate the Suns so much

[Juanobili]

bullshitttttttttttttt

[sa_butta]

nothing going our way...Just dont want to win this.

[Refocus]

Fuck these refs fuck these refs fuck these refs

[BanditHiro]

worst officiated game ever

[TIMMYD!]

Travel on RJ, 23 turnovers, 23 fucking turnovers.

[Crookshanks]

Turnovers + ABSOLUTELY no defense in the second half are killing us. Sad. Waste of great games by RJ, Anderson, and Tim

Yeah - there's very little defense being played and the Spurs are allowing the Suns to dictate the tempo. Add the crappy refs and it's a disaster.

[DPG21920]

Guys, the game is no where near over. Chill.

[TDfan2007]

turnover after turnover after turnover...

[DesignatedT]

thats the shit im talking about.... travel???????

[HarlemHeat37]

Hopefully Dice can make at least 1..

[DPG21920]

Spurs have the advantages, they just have to go to them.

[GSH]

23 turnovers on the road? You expect to lose a game like that. A win would be a minor miracle.

[Refocus]

yeah fuck that cunt warrick, tired of him getting allstar calls

[DPG21920]

Big Time Dice.

[Mal]

cant see Spurs wining

[CFH]

Now play some defense

[sa_butta]

At least Dice can hit his FTs.

[DPG21920]

Great defense from Tim there.

[Nathan Explosion]

I can usually spot the travel before the dribble call, but it was so bad I thought RJ stepped on the line.

[NASpurs]

I'll suck your dick!

[TIMMYD!]

RJ 333333333333 up 2

[DrSteffo]

Rj!!!!!!!

[blkroadrunners]

Rj !!

[BanditHiro]

23 turnovers on the road? You expect to lose a game like that. A win would be a minor miracle.

not because of the turnovers it would be a miracle if we won because of the officating

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

RJ taking a shit on everyone

[Josepatches_]

LOL @ no foul call for Parker, followed by another Suns basket

I didn't see the replay but it wasn't foul for me.

Anyway refs are the sixth man of the suns today

[Nathan89]

the truth

[DPG21920]

RJ. Man shot right there.

[CFH]

RJ for 3! :D

[GSH]

Just keep leaving him open in that corner.

[Mal]

RJ !! RJ`s corner

[chaco]

Rj !!!! +3

[Death In June]

Holy shit RJ.

[dbestpro]

Rj!!!!!

[Ditty]

rj3 i didnt know bowen stil played

[Juanobili]

Wow, does he ever miss now??

[WeNeedLength]

Run plays for DICK!!!!!!!!!! He's on fiya!

[jestersmash]

I am fucking fuming right now. Can we get jefferson some shots he just hit 3 fucking in a row, let's ride the hot hand.

[angelbelow]

Nice dice..

[N4th4n]

There have been some bad calls but you are a moron if you are going to argue that one.

[pawe]

Fucking RJ killing that corner!!!

[StoneBuddha]

I LOVE Richard Jefferson!!

[L.I.T]

Unfucking real.

[Dex]

lol new roach sighting!

[timtonymanu]

Come on guys! Please just get a stop now.

[bbarry]

Just give RJ the ball. He's on FIYA. Can't miss.

[duncan228]

Jefferson just incredible.

[RedRaider]

RJ baby!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wild shitttt

[Nathan89]

:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow

[Libri]

RJ doing his best impersonation of Bruce.

[DPG21920]

What's colder than cold? Ice Cold....................

[Crookshanks]

Yeah - now get some stops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peskypesky]

for all the whining on the board, you'd think the Spurs were getting blown out

[Drewlius]

Dicky j!!!!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Holy shit RJ makin me login to give him some props

[DesignatedT]

Rj you are the fucking man!!!!!!!! Im about to fucking cry. This is what we all wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DBMethos]

Rj lmaoooooo

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Someone should pay this guy 15 million a year :lol

[TIMMYD!]

I just have a feeling we're going to leave someone open in the corner, and bang! up one.

[sa_butta]

RJ is fire tonight.

[angelbelow]

Are you kidding me???? holy shit RJ

[howbouthemspurs]

RJ AGAIN!!!!! get it to him!!!

[Cessation]

dick jefferson is a fucking stud!!

[MaNu4Tres]

I'm glad Spurs didn't want Simmons as their starting small forward :hat

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The only shot we should take from now on is RJ from the deep left corner. :lmao

[sa_butta]

We are lucky Nash is off tonight too.

[peskypesky]

let's do this, Spurs!

[DPG21920]

How is it that RJ can play this well, and the Spurs still struggle. Manu & TP have really hurt the Spurs in the 2nd half, but just close it out.

[blkroadrunners]

Bad shot by TP

[mattyc]

This is lunacy. Love it.

[RedRaider]

Dammit parker

[NASpurs]

TD with the block!

[024]

damn parker really sucking.

[TIMMYD!]

Tim blocks another one!!!!!!

[Silver&Black]

Get tony parker out of the game!!!!!

[DPG21920]

Tim, hell yeah. Two huge defensive plays.

[WeNeedLength]

Block!

[jestersmash]

THANK YOU FUCKING RICHARD mother FUCKING JEFFERSON

[RedRaider]

Nice rebound TD

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

RJ is the savior

[peskypesky]

my internet connection sucks... what's the score?

[GSH]

Make em both RJ, and this one is in the W column.

[dbestpro]

Any team can win on any given night. A championship level team over comes the adversity of bad referees.

[sa_butta]

RJ been aggressive all game, lookin good.

[CFH]

Surprised TD didn't get called that time

[Mal]

That`s RJ Spurs needed

[bbarry]

wow TD blocked it? looked like warrick's layup went in

[RedRaider]

Make these....

[DPG21920]

Way to go RJ. Focused at the line.

[ducks]

Get tony parker out of the game!!!!!

he sat out to long with foul trouble and got cold

[ulosturedge]

Parker having a terrible game...Jefferson to the rescue lol. Go figure!

[pawe]

Just in time for TD's defense and RJ with an aggressive move! Welcome back to AZ RJ!

[DesignatedT]

seriously guys. post duncan up.

good job rj. please hit 1

[RedRaider]

RJ just played the game of his career imo.

[peskypesky]

THANK YOU FUCKING RICHARD mother FUCKING JEFFERSON

word

[ducks]

duncan monster on d
finally shuts down warrict

[Nathan89]

Oh he can hit ft now to. Clutch

[jestersmash]

I will go HOMO FOR RJ

[WeNeedLength]

Holy shitballstits, Jefferson literally put this team on his back in the 4th. Props RJ, PROPS!

[TinTin]

Okay, my stream went down after rj was called for travel. Anyone want to recap what the fairy blessed us with

[CFH]

RJ 2/2 from the line, play smart D and don't foul.

[timtonymanu]

If RJ can get 30, add another non-big 3 player to get that along with Nazr and Hill.

[Libri]

Not only are there clutch shots, there are also clutch blocks. That was a superb block by Tim.

[TIMMYD!]

Spurs up 4 with 43 seconds left, just need to keep our focus and get some stops.

[Juanobili]

110 - 106

[Cessation]

why so cold rj?

[ducks]

PLAYER OF the year so far rj

[dbestpro]

B-b-b-ut we signed RJ to that horrible contract.

[Pauleta14]

I really happy for RJ, he deserves it!!!!

[Crookshanks]

43 seconds - make them run the clock. Play some defense!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peskypesky]

i am SO FUCKING GLAD that RJ has finally shown up for the Spurs. last year was just painful to watch.

[Nathan Explosion]

We are lucky Nash is off tonight too.

He looks like tired to me. Sean was saying that with the increased load, Nash might wear down. That's what it looks like at the moment.

But he's still Steve Nash, so I don't trust it until the clock hits triple zeros.

[Leonard Curse]

Rj baby!!!! Heres the rj we were supposed to get !!hahahah just came a lil late

[marini martini]

Awwwright Jefferson!!!:tu

[DesignatedT]

get a stop

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Old school possible game-saving block by Timmy.

And RJ doing everything we hoped he would last year.

GO SPURS GO. :flag

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

[NASpurs]

Hahahahahahaha

[ducks]

[Refocus]

lol refs really dont wanna call a foul for the spurs :P

[peskypesky]

not only are there clutch shots, there are also clutch blocks. That was a superb block by tim.

g.o.a.t.

[Juanobili]

yesss killed a lot of time right there

[angelbelow]

Damn, hopefully the negative nancys (benefactor) begin to change their mind about RJ because RJ 2.0 has arrived.

[Silver&Black]

It's in TP head....get him out please pop

[024]

ship parker's ass out!

[CFH]

Make your free throws

[pawe]

fucking Parker sucks!

[Ditty]

parker really

[SPURadic]

Timmy with another silent monster game with 25 and 17 with 3 blocks! Damnnnnnnnn!

[ezau]

Fuck yeah! Fuck I'm so nervous

[peskypesky]

take that, bitches! Go Spurs!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I will go HOMO FOR RJ


Me too

[ezau]

Fuck the Suns

[peskypesky]

Parker is weak sauce

[DesignatedT]

cmon guys. no 3's please

[Silver&Black]

Thank God he split the pair. Tony Parker hasn't made a shot in forever....thank god I can say the same bout the Suns!!!!

[Nathan89]

Like I said last game Rj for MOST IMPROVED

[Crookshanks]

Play smart and run the clock and this is a W

[TIMMYD!]

Tim and RJ are playing their balls off. 25/17/3 blocks for Tim on 11/13 shooting. And 28 for RJ on 9/13 shooting.

[Leonard Curse]

im runnin back and forth in my house hahah

[DesignatedT]

so now everyone loves rj and parker sucks. lmao spurstalk.

[Silver&Black]

Me too

:hat

[ezau]

RJ 69 percent from the field

[DPG21920]

Spurs defense making my head spin, but making some plays when it matters. Tiago will certainly help. Get fit ASAP.

It's amazing that even with all these turnovers the Spurs put up this many points. Thing is, I don't even think the offense was that great. It was good, but I can see a lot of room for improvement as whole. RJ and Tim played amazing, but as an entire unit, they can improve. Scary.

[DesignatedT]

duncan has 17 boards? wow

[angelbelow]

damn this sucks, my stream just got owned.

[peskypesky]

so who's STILL the best player on the Spurs? huh? people still want to question whether this is Tim's team or Tony's. GTFO.

[ulosturedge]

Hmmm, I think Parker would have played better angry. Shouldn't have given him that contract extension. Guess everyone is different. RJ feels right at home since getting his. Go figure lol.

[CFH]

Holding my breath there on that 3 point attempt by Frye

[Mal]

Just make some free throws

[bdictjames]

RJ. Thanks.

[ezau]

Close this shit and no dumb turnovers

[Silver&Black]

Get the ball to Ginobili please....

[TinTin]

Suns third week schedule looks brutal

[relic]

RJ won this game.

[jiggy_55]

Good game. Everything is positive except 1 thing:
Parker needs to improve his shooting and be more confident to take open jump shots. He should have expanded his range to the 3 point line years ago honestly, that's unacceptable. He doesn't have the confidence to take mid-range jumpers and most of them are WAY off so that's the most glaring negative I found tonight. I don't understand why guys like Hill can expand their range to shoot 3's in 1 year, but Parker has not done that in 10 years.

[BanditHiro]

seriously suns this in not the playoffs let us go home with a win

[ducks]

duncan best winning percentage since he came in the league
in all major sports 721-319

[Crookshanks]

So do they try to play keep away and run out the 11 seconds, or do they let the Suns foul?

[TIMMYD!]

Can't forget all the turnovers...

[Silver&Black]

Scratch that....don't go ginobili....get the ball to RJ!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DPG21920]

Spurs need to make their FT's.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Free Throws strike again.

Come on guys we gotta get this one.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Classic Suns-Spurs game. Weird and out-of-sync in the first half, back and forth but much more intense and competent in the second.

[ducks]

Hmmm, I think Parker would have played better angry. Shouldn't have given him that contract extension. Guess everyone is different. RJ feels right at home since getting his. Go figure lol.

he got in foul trouble and got out of rythm
he ususally owns the suns

[CFH]

Just make your free throws

[DPG21920]

Let's go Manu. Finish it.

[ezau]

The refs kept the Suns in the game TBH

[jiggy_55]

Can't forget all the turnovers...

Yup.

[TIMMYD!]

Game. Blouses.

[DPG21920]

:wow :cry

[NASpurs]

The Spurs won and had 23 turnovers against a running team like the Suns?! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Mal]

good. Time to bed

[timtonymanu]

Spurs win!!!!

Thanks RJ and Timmy! :toast

[TinTin]

Great show from RJ

[angelbelow]

pretty good game by splitter too, refreshing to see him out there.

[BanditHiro]

big win overcame all the turnovers and terrible officiating

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

great job Spurs!

[timtonymanu]

Spurs win!!!!

Thanks RJ and Timmy! :toast

[VBM]

Great win for SA...

[Silver&Black]

BALL GAME!!!! Love it when we beat the Suns. My week is complete.


Spurs- 3-1
Suns - 1-3

[DBMethos]

RJ MVP of the 2010-2011 Spurs?

[Crookshanks]

Whew! Raggedy ending - but a W is a W.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

nice try, refs, nice fucking try.

[howbouthemspurs]

it was ugly.. but great win!

RJ won this game.

[siraulo23]

spurs win!!!!!

[DesignatedT]

nice try, refs, nice fucking try.

[Dex]

Give the game ball to Jefferson. Definitely bailed the team out in the fourth quarter.

Greatest game as a Spur, and hopefully more to come.

[blkroadrunners]

Good, fun game to watch.

[CFH]

Glad it's finally over :D

[TIMMYD!]

My cash just went up to around $900,000. :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great job to scrape that one out! We looked done with 4 mins to go.

GO SPURS GO! :flag:

[Cessation]

Amazing game.

Why do Spurs / Suns matchups always want to give me a heart attack?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

You want som grapes? Bitches?

RJ just outstanding tonight.

I'm fucking happy with this win !!

[dbreiden83080]

Bad D but a win is a win..

[TIMMYD!]

I can just imagine the refs talking to Stern on the phone: "mission failed..."

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spot on.

[DrSteffo]

Good win! 5.30 am here and a nice way to start a day.

[maddnezz]

:toastNow don't get me wrong I Love my boy TP but it seems that Tony is a type of person that if it aint Manu, Td or himself he feels he gotta outshine his other teamates. If Tony would focus on real D, I would never bitch about his O, but it looks like he dosent have that type of personality yet. When his speed goes he'll change his game a little. Great win SPURS!:toast

[ulosturedge]

That's a good win for our team. Get the cat off the back with this pesky Suns team. This should help build some swagger for our team. Closing out games that's what it's all about!

[peskypesky]

man that was exhausting. i'm hitting the sack. peace, dogs.

[EricB]

Very 2007 esque win there.

[Spursmania]

This ended up being a pretty damn good game. Thanks for scoring 18 Manu-that was close. RJ is having the season we all expected from him last season. Better late than never.

[NRHector]

My cash just went up to around $900,000. :lol

just for one day :lol

[Nathan89]

Good win! 5.30 am here and a nice way to start a day.

There is no nice way to start a day at 5.30 am.

[DeadlyDynasty]

nice win ya'll..RJ looking good

EDIT: His play looks good, I don't want him to misinterpret my post

[TinTin]

Anyone have a link for the post game interview... duncan228?

[NASpurs]

RJ said this is 10th year in the league and his first win IN PHOENIX.

[peskypesky]

That's a good win for our team. Get the cat off the back with this pesky Suns team.

hey, don't use my name with the Suns. :ihit

[Pauleta14]

You freaking people are ridiculous.

Parker played good defense in that 4th quarter including a clutch miss by Nash down the stretch cause Parker was in his shorts.

[DesignatedT]

that was the kind of game we just couldn't win last year in the regular season, whether it was not getting stops at the right time or making enough plays offensively. Very VERY happy to see this team be able to win a game like this early in the season. All our young guys are just going to continue to grow and if RJ keeps playing like this than its going to be a good year.

[jestersmash]

+1000000

:lol

[black/silver rook]

Great win for the spurs- RJ,Duncan and Anderson gave good efforts. Bad is 23 turnovers and trying to gel as a team but I see great promise in this years spurs.

[TinTin]

nice win ya'll..RJ looking good

EDIT: His play looks good, I don't want him to misinterpret my post

take this shit somewhere else. fucking retarded.

[easy7]

That was a great win. My props to RJ..:toast

[Cane]

Fantastic entertainment. Loved Tiago's moves although his baby hook shot looks easily blocked but he's got great footwork.

RJ was about as bad ass as ya can ask for. Duncan had a great night, Manu with a good stretch but he gambled too much at times. Parker got abused by Nash and the refs when it came to fouls.

Man I wish Grant Hill was playing for the Spurs, dude was hustling like a Spur defensively. The Suns are going to get eaten alive by teams with real bigs, sucks for Nash...

Hedo looked invisible.

[maddnezz]

You freaking people are ridiculous.

Parker played good defense in that 4th quarter including a clutch miss by Nash down the stretch cause Parker was in his shorts. As I said I LOVE TP but his D is not always there bro. I expect great things from him because the boy is blessed with talent and skills that surpass mine, but what Im sayin is when your O is OFF focus ON D! Not just against NASH or PAul but all the time. With his quickness TP should average the same number of steals as RONDO. He's great but as fan I can be critical especialy when I bought his Jersey and sport it around here in Atlanta along with my Manu and TD jersey. Thank you very much!:downspin::toast:downspin:

[DesignatedT]

now houston is rolling in winless against us. i dont like this setup.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I have not been this excited for spurs up and comers since devin brown when he got his first minutes as a spur.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

What an awesome awesome game. I knew there was a reason to watch this one start to finish.

We grab a little bit of revenge in the Suns own house and all of our newcomers pitched in.

i absolutely LOVED the way Pop conserved the Core Unit in the first half. Pop deserves an A++++++++++++ if we hit our free throws we fucking DOMINATE the Suns tonight.

[Doe]

So glad to be wrong about a Spurs personnel move. RJ looks like a completely different player. Even in the first quarter when he missed some shots you could just see a difference in his body language on the court. I hope he keeps this up, him playing at this level puts the Spurs back into serious contention, just need to get a handle on that D.

Gotta say I'm already a fan of James Anderson, love his game. Actually all three of the Spurs rookies look really good. Can't wait to see how they do as they become better acclimated, Splitter especially.

[Quiet Strength]

Wow RJ looked amazing and it was nice seeing Duncan have another monster game. Very sloppy but still a good win for the spurs.

[nbaman99]

This is exactly why we need to give a player a chance to prove him self. Some of the so called Spurs fans just kill RJ last year. What happened to them now? Please at least now, give our new players a chance. Everyone not Timmy, Manu or TP.

[maddnezz]

take this shit somewhere else. fucking retarded.Obvious TP lover like me! Classic. Thank you sir!:toast

[crc21209]

RJ was a FUCKING BEAST tonight....big props to him! :tu.

[crc21209]

now houston is rolling in winless against us. i dont like this setup.

Exactly, that's why I wanted them to beat New Orleans tonight...

[JustinJDW]

I love you Richard. I love you.

As for Phoenix, u still mad? Haha, eat a dick Suns. FUCK YOU!!!

[EricB]

This team has regained a calm resolve in the 4th quarters that they didn't have last year.

SO FAR, they are showing an ability to clamp down on a team when need be.

Was very impressed with the last 4 minutes of the game where they held the Suns to just 2 points and that was on an uncontested .9 second layup.

Duncan guarded the rim well, Parker Anderson Splitter all played very good defense.

Love it.

[maddnezz]

Oh yea .... where are suns fans?

[DesignatedT]

Exactly, that's why I wanted them to beat New Orleans tonight...

Yeah, trap game.

[jestersmash]

We're so fucked against Houston. They're going to be way too hungry for my liking when we play them next. They are too good to be an 0-4 team.

[silverblk mystix]

I liked the spurs late defense.

I thought Parker fought through adversity and really contributed against Nash on defense-I think most here were a bit hard on TP.

Tiago will get better and better.

RJ was the best player on the court in the 2nd half especially.

Nice win.

Bonner-take your time getting healthy...no need to rush anything...

[007nites]

Timmy was a mutherfucking beast
