Game Blog: Spurs @ Bobcats - Nov. 8

[HarlemHeat37]

Diaw's fat ass is even driving to the rim tonight..

[angelbelow]

Blairs post defense has been pretty consistent so far. Probably one of the few positives from him.

[Nathan89]

¿Is Manu trying to break some kind of record number of threes attempted in one season? :downspin:.

Certainly seems like it. I think he is shooting for 600 plus.

[Death In June]

FUCK fox southwest. They've taken to showing mavs games over spurs games now. Can anyone PM a link to the game.

[CFH]

Manu with the steal

[DesignatedT]

fucking blair. get the rebound.................................. thats the only reason you are in. remember that

[BanditHiro]

no please jefferson don't snap back to reality

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Dwight Howard banking jumpers is a strange sight. :lol

[DPG21920]

lol Diop.

[CFH]

Tp and 1

[NASpurs]

FUCK fox southwest. They've taken to showing mavs games over spurs games now. Can anyone PM a link to the game.

Just save the links that were giving to you already and check the pages for the game. It's not that hard.

[blkroadrunners]

TP and1

[DPG21920]

Dwight Howard banking jumpers is a strange sight. :lol

Dude, he has taken a nice step forward offensively.

[DesignatedT]

were getting none of these ticky tack fouls on our end

[HarlemHeat37]

Jefferson with a horrible shot, probably because he hasn't touched it in a while..

Diop with arguably the luckiest shot in NBA history..

[angelbelow]

2005-esqe play.

[blkroadrunners]

Jax looked like he traveled

[Nathan89]

Manu is guaranteed to have one impressive pass per game.

[angelbelow]

Travel on jax...

[NASpurs]

Manu for threeeeeeeeeeeee

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Of course Parker would miss the FT.

[CFH]

Manu tressssssssssssss!

[HarlemHeat37]

Beautiful fast break from TP and RJ..need to see more of that..

[angelbelow]

Beautiful..

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

damn nice passing from RJ and TP

[CFH]

TP stealing everything in this game

[Cessation]

so beatiful parker and rj

[DPG21920]

Spurs, par for the course, living and dying by the 3. Luckily they have been living good lately...

Nice fast break by TP and RJ. Kind of funny.

[NASpurs]

TP to RJ to TP to RJ to TP!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

THAT'S how you run a fastbreak!

Thing of beauty between RJ and Parker.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

no please jefferson don't snap back to reality

I'm scared about that too.

Jax just took 4 steps on that post up.

[Brazil]

we are playing a lot better

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice fast break, very nice

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Jackson and Wallace or off the floor. Time for the Spurs to build the lead

[dbestpro]

That was a travel.

[GSH]

Bobcats can't play smart for a whole game. Spurs can't play stupid for a whole game.

[HarlemHeat37]

Thomas's athleticism has been too much for the Spurs..another athletic move..

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Ugh, put in McDyess already.

[DPG21920]

:lol RJ missing one shot and people praying he doesn't go back to last year...

[BanditHiro]

can the bobcats please give up

[Tp9gospursgo]

Beautiful passing

[tim_duncan_fan]

Oh Duncan...sometimes you do rookie things that make me wonder...

[CFH]

Beautiful passing

[Refocus]

Loving this ball movement in the 3rd.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Nice passing from Blair to TD

[angelbelow]

Beautiful Blair...

[Brazil]

I'm scared about that too.

Jax just took 4 steps on that post up.

it was written that RJ will go back to earth one day

[HarlemHeat37]

Ridiculous pass from Blair..

Another garbage shot, Gerald Henderson having the best game of his career..literally..

[DPG21920]

Holy flat shot stone feet, Tim

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Dude, he has taken a nice step forward offensively.

I am aware of that. I watched his video with Dream. Still, watching him bank jumpers is a strange sight.

[Tp9gospursgo]

We should run more plays for RJ

[HarlemHeat37]

It sucks that the Spurs no longer get any respect from the refs..it's been the case for at least 2 years now..

[GSH]

I keep thinking they will call the defensive 5 seconds on the Bobcats eventually.

[024]

maybe that will knock duncan's bball IQ back in.

[dbestpro]

No blood no foul for Tmmy with Crawford on the floor.

[NASpurs]

It sucks that the Spurs no longer get any respect from the refs..it's been the case for at least 2 years now..

Tim's nemesis saw the play and chuckled inside.

[DPG21920]

I am aware of that. I watched his video with Dream. Still, watching him bank jumpers is a strange sight.

It is. He is not fluid, but he seems to be effective (more so with the variety of hooks).

[Libri]

Sean: "Not sure which one hurts more the elbow or the head."

[angelbelow]

Ouch

[Gutter92]

:lol

Sean "I'm not sure what hurts more the elbow or the head"

[DPG21920]

It sucks that the Spurs no longer get any respect from the refs..it's been the case for at least 2 years now..

You don't get respect when you aren't a good defensive team.

[DAF86]

Is it so hard to put RJ on the low block for a couple of plays each half?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

it was written that RJ will go back to earth one day

Yeah. I really hope his early season surge is not a mirage.

[tim_duncan_fan]

We look like our guys have been practicing for a 3 stooges act.

Sloppy passes, blown layups, slow reaction times (particularly Tim) and rushed shots.

[Nathan89]

I keep thinking they will call the defensive 5 seconds on the Bobcats eventually.

Do you mean 3 seconds or do you think they spend five seconds in the lane?

[NRHector]

ok Spurs enough of this shit get your shit together and go for the kill :bang

[Spurs Brazil]

Time to make a run now with Jax and Wallace on the bench

[CFH]

Manu AND 1

[NASpurs]

Manu drove to the basket! And 1

[blkroadrunners]

Crafty Manu, crafty

[DBMethos]

Yeah. I really hope his early season surge is not a mirage.

Nah, he's still working within the flow of the offense. Decision making has been good, his shot just isn't falling at a 70% clip in this game, which is understandable. :lol

[Cessation]

wow manu and 1, effortless

[BanditHiro]

lol manu ginobili taking a shit on all of spurstalk

[DesignatedT]

yes manu. finally.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[CFH]

JA for 3!

[NASpurs]

JA for threeeeeeeeeeeee

[blkroadrunners]

JA is clutch

[Cessation]

anderson, if you fail once try and try again, lol

[GSH]

I keep thinking they will call the defensive 5 seconds on the Bobcats eventually.

Do you mean 3 seconds or do you think they spend five seconds in the lane?

It's too much to ask for a 3-second call. I'd be satisfied with 5.

On a few plays they might as well have put up a tent.

[blkroadrunners]

Ugly shot by TT

[HarlemHeat37]

Ugh, Thomas with a bank shot..

So many garbage shots from Charlotte in this game..

[Ya Vez]

dead eye anderson...

[BanditHiro]

sweet jesus stfu thomas

[DesignatedT]

yes anderson. fucking love this guy

[angelbelow]

wow nice move by TT, didnt know he had that TD banker.

[DesignatedT]

give that to thomas all night

[GSH]

wow nice move by TT, didnt know he had that TD banker.

Neither did he.

[CFH]

Nice defense by Dice

[Ya Vez]

dice

[Cessation]

wow awsome defence

[blkroadrunners]

Good D by DIce

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nah, he's still working within the flow of the offense. Decision making has been good, his shot just isn't falling at a 70% clip in this game, which is understandable. :lol

Agreed. We can't expect him to be flawless and his effort is there.

[DPG21920]

lol manu ginobili taking a shit on all of spurstalk

This is one of the funniest phenomenons in the game blogs for me.

A guy can do poorly all night some where, everyone will comment, the player makes one good play (from which we all said he should have been doing that all night) and one guy says "X player just shitting on ST".

:lol

[Brazil]

Yeah. I really hope his early season surge is not a mirage.

I'm not worried about his shooting, he will average the mid 40% - 50% what I really expect is his rebounding and D effort !

[BanditHiro]

oh my god wtf is with all these garbage shots from bobcats

[CFH]

TO, ugh...

[NASpurs]

Tim fouled him? HUH?!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Ridiculous. Jackson and Wallace go to the bench and the Spurs lead evaporates.

[Brazil]

REBOUNDS for christ sake !!! Diaw with another O rebound... fuck

[dbestpro]

There are times when TD should not be on the floor. The last minute is one of those times.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

hill is so shitty...

[timtonymanu]

Cats wont just go away.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

For some reason I find lil Larry B hilarious in his seriousness. :lmao

[maddnezz]

GHill getting beat everytime. This aint his day.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Wow Diaw is fat

[Spurs Brazil]

There we go again, rebs and TO

[Brazil]

since when Tyrus is making his FTs??

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Tiago isn't getting any minutes to allow him to get into a decent rhythm

[BanditHiro]

wow seriously fuck diaw

[tim_duncan_fan]

3 stooges...

[HarlemHeat37]

Please, end the quarter properly..

[CFH]

Hope Parker is okay

[NASpurs]

George Hill's play is pissing me off

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm not worried about his shooting, he will average the mid 40% - 50% what I really expect is his rebounding and D effort !

D is still the ?. He's not what we need on D. His offense has been excellent though.

Thanks for putting up that thread in the Int forum, and sorry I've been lazy and not done it myself. :tu :D

[DPG21920]

Nice defensive sequence there at the end.

[HarlemHeat37]

Ok, so Pop puts this shitty lineup back on the floor, and the Spurs can barely get a shot off..

That lineup better not be on the floor to start the 4th..

[toki9]

Hope Parker is okay

What happened?

[CFH]

Spurs up by 2 going into the fourth

[timtonymanu]

George Hill's play is pissing me off

Seriously. I hate it when he's plays like he's scared.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Looking for a big 4th from RJ. :)

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Look at Splitter cut off the man from driving to the rim before the buzzer.

Don't see nearly enough of that on this current Spurs team.

Hopefully the Spurs can pull this one out.

[CFH]

What happened?

Looked like something with his hip, I think he's fine, just got subbed out for Neal.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 2 after the 3rd

Hill and Blair need to give us some help, they're terrible so far

[DesignatedT]

Hill and Blair are really bad. Hill might be worse. He is playing terrible

[GinobiliForTres]

Defense is fine. Rebounding and TOs are not.

[Pauleta14]

What happened?


got kicked in the butt... nothing bad! :lol

[Libri]

Regardless of the outcome, one thing is for sure. Pop and Larry will have a nice little Cabernet social after the game. :whine

[toki9]

Looked like something with his hip, I think he's fine, just got subbed out for Neal.

Thanks. Difficult to follow this without actually watching the game.

[Brazil]

D is still the ?. He's not what we need on D. His offense has been excellent though.

Thanks for putting up that thread in the Int forum, and sorry I've been lazy and not done it myself. :tu :D

no problem I'll do the some with the bruce bowen league

[BanditHiro]

is blair really playing bad this game or fans just assuming he is playing bad because of his past games?

[HarlemHeat37]

Great, Pop is leaving the 4 best players on the bench again..

It would be miraculous if the Spurs can survive this, need to get lucky..

[Ice009]

Hill has been crap. but he can still turn it around. RJ can still shoot so get him the ball if he is open.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs up 2 after the 3rd

Hill and Blair need to give us some help, they're terrible so far

Grizzly clearly has the sophomore blues, not sure what George's excuse is.

[Brazil]

Defense is fine. Rebounding and TOs are not.

Defense is fine because Charlotte Offense is horrible

[NASpurs]

Fucking sick dunk from DICE!!!!!

[Tp9gospursgo]

And 1!!!

[maddnezz]

For some reason, Pops's cataracts make him see George as a pg and 4 the life of me I cant figure out why....

[Ya Vez]

Diiiiiiiiiiiiiccceeee....

[Refocus]

god damn dice!! :O

[CFH]

Dice, nice hustle AND 1!

[DAF86]

My stream just died.

[blkroadrunners]

Slice N Dice!

[DesignatedT]

I do not like this lineup.

[DPG21920]

Dice is such a pimp. I love that guy.

[ezau]

I hope Jefferson explodes in the fourth quarter. We badly need some offensive threat out there.

[DesignatedT]

good job dice.

[Spurs Brazil]

WOW, like the old (young) Dice :lol

[NASpurs]

George the Vagina Hill. WTF was that?!

[blkroadrunners]

Hill had Tiago down low. He should have passed it.

[Ya Vez]

dump it off hill to tiago... sheesh

[HarlemHeat37]

Hill is way too fucking passive..

He had an open lane when he caught the ball off the screen, they had no big man at the rim..instead of driving, he waited and stepped back to reset..Spurs get nothing out of it..

[Tp9gospursgo]

Hill needs to start playing.

[Death In June]

Stream died out. Lame.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol hill worked on his court vision really?

[timtonymanu]

Hill you're fuckin pathetic right now.

[Spurs Brazil]

damn Hill, WAKE UP

[Brazil]

lol Diaw 16 5 4 fucking boris

[CFH]

Wow, bad passing...

[BanditHiro]

wow seriously this should be a good time to get jefferson in the game and have him as the number one option

[NASpurs]

Tiago with the dunk!!!!!

[ace3g]

nice put back by Splitter

[CFH]

Splitter! :D

[blkroadrunners]

Tiago w/ the statement

[Tp9gospursgo]

Tiagoooooooooooooooooo

[HarlemHeat37]

What the fuck is this offense?..Why is Splitter catching the ball beyond the 3-point line?..

Why the fuck is Pop playing this shitty lineup again?..is he serious right now?..

This lineup hasn't produced a decent shot yet..they've been lucky that the Bobcats didn't box out twice..

[DPG21920]

Great follow by Tiago. Then comes up with the board.

[Brazil]

we need one of the big 3 quickly its going to be ugly if not

[blkroadrunners]

Wow, Augustine is horrible.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Tiago looking good.

[Spurs Brazil]

Our O is total shit with Hill as PG

[CFH]

Splitter working hard

[NASpurs]

Love the tenacity by Splitter!

[HarlemHeat37]

Splitter is doing work..

Finally, Manu is in..maybe the Spurs can get a decent shot off now..

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

nice hustle tiago

[ezau]

LOL we're just getting lucky with this shitty lineup. Why are the starters on the bench?

[HarlemHeat37]

Splitter is doing work..

Finally, Manu is in..maybe the Spurs can get a decent shot off now..

[DPG21920]

Splitter showing the toughness this team needs. Pop is resting the big 3 because Jax/Crash are out.

TP already has 30 minutes and Tim 28.

[DesignatedT]

there you go tiago. playing great

[mystargtr34]

My stream just died.

Same. Right before the Dyess dunk.

[Spurs Brazil]

great job Tiago!

[timtonymanu]

Did Nash break Hill or something?

[angelbelow]

Splitter playing with some aggression now.

[DPG21920]

Smart defense by Tiago on TT on that last possession.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Chip clearly isn't working with the Brazilian yet... :lol

[NRHector]

that Splitter kid he's kind of good

[HarlemHeat37]

Nevermind, Manu doesn't want to take decent shots either..

The Spurs shot selection has been terrible this season..they're pretty much getting by on talent right now..

[tim_duncan_fan]

Hill needs to grow a pair. Jeez, attack the rim!

Maybe RJ should show him some drills?

[BanditHiro]

wtf stop making your FT thomas

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

manu u can do better than that fucking step back three

[Spurs Brazil]

Attack Manu

[timtonymanu]

too many jumpshots.

[blkroadrunners]

Neal!

[ace3g]

3 for Neal!!

[CFH]

Choo Choo for 3!

[NASpurs]

Choo choooooooo

[GSH]

Our rookies kick ass!!!!!!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice Neal!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Choo Choo!!..

Wow, Tyrus with a disgusting oop..fuck..

[Frankie23]

My stream is down..any help please?

[Brazil]

wtf stop making your FT thomas

:bang exactly last year he killed my fantasy team with his FT !

[DesignatedT]

real deal neal baby

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal 3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

[NASpurs]

I love how Pop substituted Manu for Anderson a little while ago. Get Hill out of there!

[Brazil]

we cannot have a break, they are still there

[Cessation]

choo choo!!! for 3

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Man, I don't have a good feeling about this game.

Hopefully Duncan comes back strong in the fourth.

[GSH]

My stream is down..any help please?

Try Avodart.


Sorry... I'm having lots of Internet delays tonight. Maybe some provider having problems?

[DBMethos]

Wonder if Hill's neck is still bothering him.

[Gutter92]

fuck this shit instead of spurs announcers now i gotta listen to the bobcat announcers :lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i wish i could go slap hill right now, he needs to wake the fuck up...

[Libri]

Looking at the replay, Neal does a great job using screens to get open.

[DAF86]

If somebody is watching this on a stream please PM me.

[DPG21920]

RJ getting to the line. That is what we need.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice Rj. Be aggressive.

[HarlemHeat37]

Finally, going to Jefferson..keep him in the mid-post/wing area..

[DPG21920]

Damn, RJ. Stay aggressive.

[Brazil]

Hill is really bad this season, idk what happen to him

[CFH]

Wow, can't make a free throw

[DPG21920]

RJ altered that shot.

[DBMethos]

I'm guessing RJ's secret offseason drills didn't involve FT shooting...

[toki9]

I'm guessing RJ's secret offseason drills didn't involve FT shooting...

He changed his shooting mechanic, including FT. I think it'll be a while before he gets comfortable with that shot.

[DBMethos]

Dice is awesome...so glad we finally got this guy.

[CFH]

Gotta hate how the Cats keeping getting second chance points

[GSH]

Every time we look like we're going to get some separation, we give up second chance points.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Neal!

[NASpurs]

Choooooo chooooooooooooo

[DPG21920]

Treal.

[dbestpro]

Real Deal Neal!

[CFH]

Choo Choo is money from 3!

[Brazil]

fucking diaw rebound and assist

[NRHector]

is time for Manu to take over this game

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

choo choo choo chooooooooo

[DPG21920]

Jax; he makes love to pressure.

[CFH]

Dammit Jax...

[HarlemHeat37]

Neal completely bails Hill out..

If you're feeling sick, you better get off the train..

Ugh, I hate when Jackson makes anything..I love him, but he's so inefficient..

[Winehole23]

Spurs have just hit nine of their last seven

[NASpurs]

Chooooooo choooooooooooooooooooooo

[Tp9gospursgo]

Again neal??!?!?!?

[CFH]

OMG Choo Choo!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

can't get a fucking break

[DesignatedT]

Hill doesnt know what the fuck he is doing. Real deal Neal bailing him out

[Refocus]

NEAAAAAAAAAAL! Yeah boy

[dbestpro]

Real Deal Neal!!

[Nathan89]

Neal is a Machine.

[DPG21920]

Neal is ballin' right now.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

choo X 5

[Cessation]

wow neal with 4 triples

[ace3g]

all aboard, the train is leaving the station...choo choo

[DBMethos]

Choo choooooooooooo
