No Sloan tonight since he's attending a funeral. That should help the Spurs and they're going to need all the advantages they can get playing in Utah. Can't believe Utah swept the Spurs last year, the first time thats happened in the Duncan era IIRC, lets get some revenge!

Yea. I guess some of the American poster still sleep or are at work while here in Erope it's already afternoon. :toast
Well it does suck for us that we can't sleep normally. :sleep

I hear you there! Where are you from by the way in Slovenia? I've been through Ljubljana a few times. Beautiful city.

GO SPURS GO!:flag:

lol not really. Since the beginning of this season I usually create these threads on no particular times, usually around the evening. Except for two days ago, I couldnt make it. But this time I made a bit earlier because I was not sure when I'll be home tonight.



Well it does suck for us that we can't sleep normally. :sleep

Haha yeah, the NBA gives us European fans sleepless nights. :lol



Anyway, :flag: Go Spurs!! On to the next win! :flag:

Man, you picked a bad day to miss the game thread, we could have used the distraction. I actually noticed no one had made it, so I took the liberty hoping I wasn't stepping on any toes. :lol

I'm predicting another victory.


Fuck all of the amateurs at ESPN.

Tim Duncan, on the impending passage of old buddy David Robinson: "It just means I'm getting old, and I've played a lot of games." #spurs

[Bambililos]

Humble Duncan.

I don't have a good feeling about this game. Still, I'll be watching to see them prove me wrong.

[BlairForceDejuan]

Spurs are due for one of those games where they don't even show up to play. Granted, that was the first half of last game...

[MinuteByMinuteSports]

Spurs win a tough one, 98-95

[wildbill2u]

I always wanted to be the first response on a game thread! I've been number 2 and 3 a few times, but now I'm number ONE. :king

You're #1! You're #1!:worthy:

[z0sa]

Will definitely be interesting. Parker vs. Deron.

[Leftyventricle]

Go spurs go!!!

[ace3g]

have you guys seen Don Harris' tweets about this whole point total thing for Duncan; he keeps saying people are forgetting Gervin's numbers in the ABA, and repeats every so often that Duncan won't be becoming the all time scorer tonight.

--

DonHarris4WOAI Don Harris
Truth in media. Tim Duncan will NOT break franchise scoring mark tnite. Gervin's 23,602 is the record. Fact. Not up for debate.

DonHarris4WOAI Don Harris
The 4 teams that merged should hold sacred those records. There is no Spurs in NBA w out the ABA. Long live Icemans 26,595 pts. Real record.

DonHarris4WOAI Don Harris
Don't believe the hype.George Gervin is Spurs franchise leading scorer w over 26,00pts. Misleading for An ABA team to ignore it's past.

[duncan228]

have you guys seen Don Harris' tweets about this whole point total thing for Duncan; he keeps saying people are forgetting Gervin's numbers in the ABA, and repeats every so often that Duncan won't be becoming the all time scorer tonight.

I like how Basketball-Reference (http://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/pts_career.html) does it. They list ABA/NBA combined, and then each separate. The way to phrase it is Duncan will become the all-time NBA Spurs scorer. Respect for all.

[peskypesky]

i think RJ goes off tonight and Spurs win by 2.

[TDomination]

As long as the spurs can get defensive rebounds in the last minute of the game, we will win!

[Leonard Curse]

I'm from Metlika, that's a small city in south-east near Croatia.
Which city're you from??
i heard the women there are gorgeous and very friendly is that true?

[silverblk mystix]

As long as the spurs can get defensive rebounds in the last minute of the game, we will win!

don't worry...Bonner is all over this.:lol

[100%duncan]

Go spurs go!

[CFH]

I think the winning streak ends tonight, prove me wrong Spurs. :flag:

[angelbelow]

No Sloan is a good thing but were gonna have to match the rebounding of Milsap and Big Al.

[8FOR!3]

LOL, I'm going to have to listen to Matt Harpring as an announcer? I had no idea...

[DesignatedT]

ehh jazz broadcast. these guys r bad.

[Obstructed_View]

I thought they said this was an ESPN game. Damn.

[GinobiliForTres]

Should be. Rather have this than CHI/DAL.

[NASpurs]

I hope the Spurs don't take this game for granted for whatever reason and bring their A game.

[angelbelow]

Hopefully Blair has an effective and efficient game, we may need his toughness against Milsap.

[8FOR!3]

AK 47 can hardly say his name lol. Andrei Kirierlielnkeo.

[timtonymanu]

Same starting 5 as always.

[NASpurs]

Please don't be sloppy!

[NASpurs]

Manu with the jumper!

[CFH]

Manu jumper

[024]

duncan will have to step his offensive game up. he's the biggest advantage at his position.

[NASpurs]

TD with the putback!

[CFH]

Duncan putback

[ace3g]

like someone else said earlier, RJs form has returned to last year on his jump shot

[NASpurs]

Blair! 6-0 Spurs

[CFH]

Parker didn't even jump :lol

[024]

jazz playing sloppy early and spurs capitalizing.

[NASpurs]

Jefferson! 8-0

[CFH]

Rj j

[NASpurs]

Blair again

[Tp9gospursgo]

Spurs lookin good so far

[CFH]

Blair layup

[angelbelow]

Damn it Milsap.

[mazerrackham]

anyone wanna pm a game link?

[Chieflion]

Seeing our lead increase just makes me more scared.

[angelbelow]

Williams is playing GREAT defense on Parker. What a versatile pg..

[NASpurs]

lol Blair picking Tony off for Williams

[e20dylan]

can i get a game link please thanks!

[Refocus]

like someone else said earlier, RJs form has returned to last year on his jump shot

Form looks the same to me, still better looking than last year.

It's probably because hes missing them now. :P

[NASpurs]

Spurs lookin good so far

I don't think the Spurs look good at all. It's like both teams are trying to size each other up and nothing really is standing out. Spurs are making shots inside while most of their outside shots aren't going in.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

spurs are smart if they are only keeping the game close.

[dbestpro]

I don't think the Spurs look good at all. It's like both teams are trying to size each other up and nothing really is standing out. Spurs are making shots inside while most of their outside shots aren't going in.

This......

[bbarry]

spurs not looking good. jazz just looking HORRIBLE right now. spurs not doing jack except taking advantage.

[NASpurs]

TD jumper!

[CFH]

Duncan jumper

[NASpurs]

Is Blair in beast mode?

[BlairForceDejuan]

DB with like 3 steals already

[CFH]

Blair layup, nice find by TP

[Refocus]

Blair should be able to go off on this game. No reason for him not to.

[NASpurs]

WTF travel? I've seen worse from the NBA

[NASpurs]

Manu threeeeeeeeeeeeee

[CFH]

Manu tresssssssssssssss!

[TIMMYD!]

Manu 33333333333333333

17-6

[Tp9gospursgo]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuu

[NASpurs]

Spurs should really stop building the lead :lol

[duncan228]

Don't get complacent with the lead.

[CFH]

RJ block!

[TIMMYD!]

Tim with another block.

[Danny.Zhu]

Manu 3!!

[ace3g]

Form looks the same to me, still better looking than last year.

It's probably because hes missing them now. :P

I'm looking at the mechanics, that hitch is back in the shot

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

keep it close guys....not too much

[angelbelow]

What the hell, its either a jump shot or a turnover for the Jazz.

[Chieflion]

The Raja flop!

[BlairForceDejuan]

lol Utah

Even the game has no color on my TV :lol This Kens5 feed looks weird.

[NASpurs]

Outside shots are going in now and Spurs are getting a ton of turnovers. Now they look pretty good although the Jazz seem really slow right now. You know they'll get warmed up sooner or later.

[DesignatedT]

Blair looks fantastic. Defense looks great. Good start.

[Cessation]

wow terrible flop

[timtonymanu]

I wont feel safe until the game is over.

[dbestpro]

I don't think the Spurs are playing all that great as I think the Jazz are playing bad at this point.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bad call on DB

[BlairForceDejuan]

Epic mullet.

[Danny.Zhu]

6 steals in one quarter? When did that happen before?

[ace3g]

Elson checks in

[NASpurs]

Manu with the layup!

[CFH]

Ginobili drive

[carina_gino20]

Both teams look sloppy thus far.

[NASpurs]

19-6 oh God

[8FOR!3]

The only thing that worries me right now is RJ's outside shot form. He's shooting the ball like he used to. I've only seen him do it a couple of times though, hopefully Pop will point that out at the half.

[Seventyniner]

Ambidextrous Manu with the right-handed finger roll!

[NASpurs]

Dice with the jumper

[CFH]

Dice smooth J

[TIMMYD!]

Spurs up 21-6

[angelbelow]

Great to see Blair playing well, I think him and Duncan out there on Milsap and Big Al is a big reason why the Jazz are taking so many jumpshots.

[ace3g]

Elson can still run well, beat everyone down the court there, surprised Williams missed him for the dunk

[8FOR!3]

The Utah crowd blows their load every time they make a shot...

[NASpurs]

Hill for threeeeeeeeeeee

[CFH]

Hill 3!

[Refocus]

yesss george!

[TIMMYD!]

Spurs 24-12

[CFH]

Spurs up 24-14 at the end of one

[NASpurs]

The pick and roll with George Hill is practically worthless.

[Chieflion]

Utah revived. That 10 point lead feels smaller than it actually is.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill 333333333333333333333

[024]

not a good end defensively but i'll take the 10 pt lead.

[DAF86]

My link just died, please PM me a working one, thanks in advance.

[DesignatedT]

good quarter.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Spurs have a 10 point lead. Kick some ass Spurs! You've got this one in the bag!

[UnWantedTheory]

I didnt watch the 1st quarter, but holding them to 14 is a damn good start!

[Spurs Brazil]

Good 1st quarter.

Let's keep playing with this energy and smart

[Tp9gospursgo]

Good 1st quarter from the Spurs. :-)

[8FOR!3]

You can't really complain about a 24-14 quarter guys, as much as you'd like to.

[UnWantedTheory]

Spurs have a 10 point lead. Kick some ass Spurs! You've got this one in the bag!
Well they have been known to come from behind quite often this year....so lets hope your right.

[NASpurs]

TP with the jumper

[CFH]

TP jumper

[TIMMYD!]

I want to see some Spliterrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[NASpurs]

TP with the floater

[8FOR!3]

Bonner rebound!

[BlairForceDejuan]

bullshit NBA call

[8FOR!3]

Late call on the foul, but I won't complain, they've missed some calls.

Edit: Ball don't lie.

[Death In June]

Seriously, no Tiago again?

[TDomination]

I want to see some Spliterrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

me too :(

[NASpurs]

What a dumbass foul for the three point play

[CFH]

Turnover, ugh

[Chieflion]

Parker is playing like shit right now.

[dbestpro]

Dice :(

[Refocus]

The foul on milsap was good but there was no foul on that fast break. : /

edit nvm it was on neal thought it was dice again.

[8FOR!3]

Matt Harpring might be the worst announcer of all time. Damn.

[Danny.Zhu]

Where the fuck is Splitter?

[dbestpro]

Parker :(

[TIMMYD!]

Tony's forcing some shots now, the rest of the guys can't create for themselves.

[NASpurs]

Choooooo choooooo

[CFH]

Bonner steal :lol

[Juanobili]

Bonner with the steal!! haha

[TDomination]

parker with 5 assist

[dbestpro]

Dice not playing with much effort right now.

[DesignatedT]

there you go neal.

[Spurs Brazil]

We're on a back to back, Tiago will see minutes tomorrow

[NASpurs]

Bonner leading the team with -2. Take that law of averages

[Cessation]

splitter is the new mahinmi?

[BlairForceDejuan]

lmao! It's that one goofy ass utah fan!

[Chomag]

Well, I can't having your 12th man to be a player like Splitter is a bad thing. Spurs are very deep.

[dbestpro]

Choooooo choooooo

Spongebob ripped his pants again.

[NASpurs]

Neal panicked there with that turnover.

[CFH]

Wow, back to back turnovers...

[Chieflion]

What a stupid pass to Neal by Bonner....

[NASpurs]

Spongebob ripped his pants again.


You don't like it? :cry

[CFH]

That should've been a steal

[Spurs Brazil]

TO machine now, take care of the ball

[CFH]

TP layup

[Borosai]

Bonner with the nice perimeter D.

[Chieflion]

Kirilenko drives past Bonner and draws the foul....

[Borosai]

Bonner sexted that ref's wife.

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal playing terrible today

[dbestpro]

You don't like it? :cry

Yes, spongebob. I'll shed a tear for you.

[NASpurs]

turnover and another and 1

[CFH]

Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat...

[BlairForceDejuan]

whats with these stupid fouls on the fastbreaks

[Tp9gospursgo]

Come on Spurs...

[NASpurs]

Yes, spongebob. I'll shed a tear for you.

Did he run train on your Mom or what?

Look at my sig.

[Danny.Zhu]

Oh no.

[timtonymanu]

fuckin feed is out.

And it looks like the Spurs are giving away their lead.

[Chieflion]

Can Manu check back in soon?

[VBM]

Spurs turnovers are driving me Batty!

tJstmxb8vyw

[024]

duncan's poor offensive game is starting to irk me.

[Spurs Brazil]

TOs KILLING us

[DesignatedT]

RJ just gave up the board on the FT than gave them an and1.

On another note... George Hill and the offense still looks like shit when hes running the point.

[NASpurs]

We all knew the Jazz were going to make a comeback. Thank God it's now instead in the fourth quarter.

[Spurs Brazil]

Thunder with no Durant and Green beat the Celtics at Boston

[TDomination]

manus coming back in

[dbestpro]

Did he run train on your Mom or what?

Look at my sig.

The joke is old just like the episode where Spongebob kept ripping his pants. Everyone got tired of Spongebob repeating the same old tired joke. So, unitl you can get some new material you are Spongebob rippings his pants.

[LeCrab]

Why is bonner getting so much playing time?

[NASpurs]

The joke is old just like the episode where Spongebob kept ripping his pants. Everyone got tired of Spongebob repeating the same old tired joke. So, unitl you can get some new material you are Spongebob rippings his pants.

I don't see what you don't get. It's not intended to be a joke.

[DesignatedT]

what happened to rj going to the rim... just all jumpers now. not what we want

[CFH]

Duncan slams it down

[duncan228]

Duncan meant it.

[8FOR!3]

I just want to point out that RJ's form on his last missed three was his best outside mechanics the whole game. And now he's taking it to the rack. Nice.

[CFH]

Duncan with the block!

[Death In June]

So what's with four separate game feeds being out? Anyone have a working one?

[dbestpro]

Td!

[timtonymanu]

RJ hopefully will pick up his aggression in the 2nd half. He usually does.

[Refocus]

Timmy!!!

[TIMMYD!]

Tim with 3 blocks already.

[Juanobili]

Duncan with the dunk and block at the other end. Yes!

[Chieflion]

Duncan is ridiculous on D.

[CFH]

RJ 2/2 at the line

[DesignatedT]

Good block timmy.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD playing GREAT D

[NASpurs]

I really wish the Spurs would drive the ball right now and get some FTs instead of settling for jumpers.

[SCdac]

Bonner's defense has been decent this season (even though he provides no shot blocking), but on offense he has no in-between game whatsoever. That was something Splitter seemed much better at.

[dbestpro]

Bonner is worthless without the three.

[CFH]

Tp j

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice Shot TP.

[NASpurs]

Well prove me wrong Tony. Tony with the jumper

[Chieflion]

They are setting Williams up in the low post.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fucking whistles....and fucking away feed....can't see the spurs highlights...

[Spurs Brazil]

weak call on Tony

[TIMMYD!]

I know Bonner is hot right now but that doesn't mean Tiago should be benched.

[fiona_yin]

what happened to TIAGO????

[timtonymanu]

Did Tiago's 3 quick fouls in the Thunder game scare Pop away?

[NASpurs]

Where's DeJuan? He was playing well, much better than Bonner and his -5

[carina_gino20]

Listening to Matt Harpring is a very painful experience.

[TIMMYD!]

Bonner's streak ends.

Edit: it was a 2.

[CFH]

And the 3 point streak for Bonner is over at 9

[Russ]

"In his younger years, Parker had a better supporting cast."

So says the Utah color guy.

[Leonard Curse]

wow hope you guys like bonner cause it looks like thats who are main center is what a freaking joke. so hes not making threes, has had some back spasms coming into the game and pop still plays him like hes a 20year old? poor tiago

[Russ]

And the 3 point streak for Bonner is over at 9

Thank god! :toast

(I knew it would end in a close game.)

[ezau]

where the fuck is Tiago? I fucking hate Bonner, jesus.

[TIMMYD!]

Tim should get the ball more, our J isn't all that great right now.

[NASpurs]

Bonner shot a long 2, not a three

[ezau]

Bonner's presence is going to make us lose a lot of games. POP has an incredible amount of talented big men and he doesn't even know how to use it.

[Spurs Brazil]

refs with a bunch of weak calls.

[8FOR!3]

This game's a little closer than I'd like, but at least they won't be able to come from behind 50 points in the second half and beat us.

[TIMMYD!]

Come on Tim, hits these FTs.

[CFH]

Fastbreak Manu

[TIMMYD!]

Tim with 8, 8, and 3 blocks to go along with some good D.

44-40 at the half.

Looked like a foul on GH there at the end, oh well.

[Russ]

No foul on Hill's layup????????

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

where is the fucking foul ? how did hill not make that?

[NASpurs]

The lead and Utah is shooting 39%. I wasn't expecting the Spurs to blow Utah out at home so I'll take this.

[DesignatedT]

WOW. Hill was clearly fouled

[Borosai]

I thought Hill was going to dunk that.

[CFH]

No foul, really?

[Spurminator]

Hill got fouled but he should have gone up with the left hand.

[Spurs Brazil]

TOs killed us in the 2nd quarter

Spurs up 4 at the half

[timtonymanu]

God I hate opposing team's hitting 3 pointers.

[NASpurs]

On that Raja Bell 3 pointer, did the Spurs go into a half-assed zone there?

[Russ]

Jazz halftime show features the only black man in Utah. (And he looks like he knows it.)

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

the refs forgot they have to blow the whistles for both ends of the floor

[SA210]

Where the F**** is TIAGO POP!!!

[angelbelow]

Listening to Matt Harpring is a very painful experience.

What? Hes not bad at all. This is my first time and Ive heard that he sucks but he seems fine. At least hes not overly biased or being a huge homer. Hes just calling the game as it is.

[Leonard Curse]

as soon as bonner leaves our defense goes up. im sure all the reporters in sanantonio will tuck their tail between their legs when interviewing pop AGAIN! this is ridiculous this is why we dont develope any new players because pop thinks this is the military. ridiculous but hey who wants to create www.STARTTIAGO.com (http://www.STARTTIAGO.com) ill pay for it if someone makes it haha no but really

[Sparrowhawk]

Where the F**** is TIAGO POP!!!

Pop is managing his minutes :downspin:

[jestersmash]

Where the F**** is TIAGO POP!!!

He looked a little too winded during the pre-game warmups. He needs to be slowly assimilated into the offense.

Slow and steady...

[ezau]

Pop: Bonner>>>>>>>>Tiago

[Chomag]

Maybe he is just reasting him for the playoffs? Kind of a strange thing to do for a 20 year old.

[NASpurs]

I'm waiting for either Tony or Manu to go off in that second half and blow the game open.
