Game Blog: Spurs @ Wolves - Nov. 24

[urunobili]

Plus. refs are calling every fucking thing against us...

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, this is the kind of maddening game even the championship Spurs team would lose.

The only ones who didn't were the 99 team.

[widowmaker]

When the Spurs attempt 13 three pointers in a half and miss all but one of them, officiating isn't even worthy of mention.

I'm talking about the officiating not missed three's but yeah ur right.

[GSH]

I agree that its not one guy's fault. The team as a whole lacked energy and focus. I think what hes trying to say is that Bonner one big positive is his 3pt shooting, when thats off his other contributions are a gamble, and in the case from the 1st half they were hurting us. Ginobili's off, RJ's off, but they have the ability to consistently contribute in other areas.

Logic? We don't need no steenking logic.

Okay, I'll admit - he's been pretty helpless against Love and Darko. But, hey, he's always got that floater.

[Chomag]

Take that Udoka haters.

24 minutes of Ime in the second half = +24 = 10-point Spurs win

Bonner now has competition as our +/- king?

[Obstructed_View]

Im surprised this hasnt been used to argue why the signing of Udoka was a good thing.

Just wait: :pop:

[Borosai]

My prediction for the rest of the game:
- Spurs make some shots
- Wolves miss some shots
- Bonner will make all his 3-point shots (5/5 because he wants to maintain his %)
- Love will continue playing well
- Psycho will cool off
- Spurs will win by 4, guaranteed. They might lose though.

[angelbelow]

Logic? We don't need no steenking logic.

Okay, I'll admit - he's been pretty helpless against Love and Darko. But, hey, he's always got that floater.

Ofcousre, how could I forget :p:

[Spurologist]

:lol

woWqSmichOo

:lol

He needs to collaborate with Dirk

[ohmwrecker]

You explained his bloated average with his historically dominant performance. I'll relent if the Spurs can make him look less like Wilt in the second half. :toast

Both are true. I'm not sure why we are arguing. We should argue that my timing is bad.

[ace3g]

was Blair not playing well that Dice is starting 2nd half (again was traveling most of the day)

[Texas_Ranger]

Game over.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Darko is killing Spurs.....

[Libri]

Wolves are having fun.

[Chomag]

It's a passing drill for minny in the paint? God damn...

[Ice009]

Here we go again. Every one of those guys contributed to the 12-1 start.

Stop that shit. Seriously, just stop it.

Serious question. Do you think these guys are championship players? Do you think they have what it takes in the playoffs to get it done? I'm not talking about regular season stuff here.

[angelbelow]

Lol, I cant believe Darko is playing this well..

[GSH]

Damn. That's normally an and-1 for Jefferson. I just hope he makes the FT's.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Love and Darko were gonna have a good night anyway. They are pretty much beating us by themselves. The Spurs just need to start hitting some shots (I sound like Pop) but its true.

Well the only other people even helping Darko and Love is Beasly, and that bitch is a ballhog.

[Bartleby]

Spurs looking like the Washington Generals out there.

[CFH]

Well that sucks

[Obstructed_View]

Both are true. I'm not sure why we are arguing. We should argue that my timing is bad.

Yeah, I'm not really arguing with you. Just interpreting differently. This is what's known as extended garbaaaaaazhe time.

[angelbelow]

was Blair not playing well that Dice is starting 2nd half (again was traveling most of the day)

Its a combination I think. Blair played pretty poorly, commiting a few fouls on Love while trying to box him out. Were getting dominated on the boards so going with Dice hopefully alleviates that problem.

[ShoogarBear]

Stop shooting threes. No matter how open. Just stop.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan is playing 1 vs. 2 for the rebounds..

Spurs missing more open shots..Minnesota's D has been terrible, but the Spurs can't make..

This is embarrassing..

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Can somebody please tell me if the rim is smaller or something in this game?

[CFH]

Wow, this isn't getting any better

[Spurologist]

-19

[GSH]

Okay, they didn't even come out to defend Manu on that 3-pointer, and he still bricked it.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Manu misses an easy open 3...darn..

[bongraider]

the rim playing good defense on the spurs

[Danny.Zhu]

What a meltdown...

[timtonymanu]

Meh. Ok game's over.

Spurs are gonna have shitty losses like this anyway. Now they must win the next 2.

[siraulo23]

3 3 3 3 clank clank clank

[Texas_Ranger]

Hahahahaha... The Wolves are Great!! :D

[CFH]

Goddamn, just drive the ball like that!

[Cessation]

this game is over

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

And 1!

[Libri]

At least keep it under 20.

[ShoogarBear]

1 for 16 :lmao

[Obstructed_View]

Stop shooting threes. No matter how open. Just stop.

I'm just gonna keep quoting this for the rest of the game.

[ohmwrecker]

Yeah, I'm not really arguing with you. Just interpreting differently. This is what's known as extended garbaaaaaazhe time.

Just to be clear . . . I never implied Love is not a good rebounder.

[noles1983]

post game pop interview could be interesting if the reporters wouldnt be scared little bitches. I wish one would ask "Pop why did your team suck ass tonight?"

[Obstructed_View]

And Parker's injured.

[Spurologist]

3 clank 3 clink 3 333333333333333 miss miss miss

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

C'mon Spurs! I haven't gave up yet!

[angelbelow]

Michael Be-EASY sighting.

[CFH]

That's exactly what you do! Attack the rim!

[Crookshanks]

This is getting ugly! And it makes it worse that I have to listen to the Timberwolves announcers. I think I'll turn the sound down. Spurs are just really out of sorts tonight.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Oh fuck! Are you kidding me? Is Parker hurt?

[timtonymanu]

Bavetta just needs to drop dead already.

[Horse]

Nice to see Tony get buttfucked and not get the call. Anyone notice the little shoves their giving on every rebound we get?

[Borosai]

Deficit down to 15!!!

[GSH]

Serious question. Do you think these guys are championship players? Do you think they have what it takes in the playoffs to get it done? I'm not talking about regular season stuff here.

I'm just saying you can't have a whole team of All-stars. I think as a group, this is a good team. They're having a really bad night. But, yeah, I think that with the Big 3 on the team, the supporting cast can get it done.

[Libri]

I wonder what Baveta was telling parker.

[Frankie23]

We can't play worst and they can't play better.
-14 points..
I'm sorry, we can and they can.
Damn!!!

[Budkin]

Just checked the game score... what the fuck is going on??

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

This is getting ugly! And it makes it worse that I have to listen to the Timberwolves announcers. I think I'll turn the sound down. Spurs are just really out of sorts tonight.
These announcers are about as low class as they get. :bang

[ohmwrecker]

In other news, Jason Williams just got tossed from the Heat v Magic game. I honestly had no idea he was playing this year.

[ShoogarBear]

Bavetta just needs to drop dead already.

How would you be able to tell he has?

[Obstructed_View]

Oh fuck! Are you kidding me? Is Parker hurt?

Schoening said he fell hard on his hand and came up rubbing his wrist, but that's the last I heard. Parker scored on the next possession.

[024]

duncan needs to start showing up on offense.

[Nathan89]

Why would we double Darko when Tim is on him? Emphasis on Tim. That is fucking stupid.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Nice to see Tony get buttfucked and not get the call. Anyone notice the little shoves their giving on every rebound we get?
Who isn't noticing? Tim Duncan is also getting raped, but the refs can't see anything!

[GSH]

Do you guys realize that if the Spurs were just shooting 25% from the 3-point line, this would be a 6-point game. Just 25 freaking percent.

I don't know why this happens to teams, but it happens to all of them sooner or later.

[Obstructed_View]

duncan needs to start showing up on offense.

Maybe someone will stop shooting three pointers long enough to pass him the ball.

[ShoogarBear]

What the hell, Heat-Magic fourth quarter might be worth watching.

[CFH]

Manu layup

[Budkin]

I don't get how we can be getting manhandled by a 4-11 team. Did they just think they didn't have to show up?

[ace3g]

key here is to get the game to around 8-10 pts heading into the 4th quarter

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

"He's like a pogo stick" - Announcer

[timtonymanu]

Now these guys are driving in. Pathetic.

[Libri]

Spurs with zone defense.

[angelbelow]

Finally.

[ace3g]

big 3 from Manu!!!

[siraulo23]

did the ball just ggo in?

[noles1983]

LOL Darko for MVP

[CFH]

Make a 3 and it's erased by an and 1, ugh...

[timtonymanu]

Goddamn just go away Pups.

[CFH]

Or not

[CFH]

RJ jumper

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Spurs are basically facing 3 people: Darko, Love, and Beasly.

[siraulo23]

oh shit heating up

[bongraider]

the wolves have 8 guys on the floor in this game. the other three are dressed in gray

[ace3g]

wow, late call

[CFH]

Garbage call!

[noles1983]

Darko getting the Dirk treatment

[GSH]

Manu and RJ took the lid off the basket. Maybe we can start hitting some shots. If the Wolves feel a little adversity, they'll crumble.

[angelbelow]

Wtf... these fucking refs

[ShoogarBear]

How dare you forget Kosta Koufos!

[Ice009]

I'm just saying you can't have a whole team of All-stars. I think as a group, this is a good team. They're having a really bad night. But, yeah, I think that with the Big 3 on the team, the supporting cast can get it done.

I respect your opinion which is why I asked.

From what I've seen of George and DeJuan so far I'd have to say no they are not. I did not say to trade them for All-Stars. Where did I say that? When I said they should be on the trade block I was saying that if there is a good deal out there for a player that might help more and would be more solid in the playoffs I'd think about trading those two players.

Matt Bonner you don't have to ask me about him. I said years ago he sucked.

[timtonymanu]

I hate losing to this douchebag Darko.

[HarlemHeat37]

Darko with 2 superstar calls in a row..

[Texas_Ranger]

It was all ball!

[CFH]

Ball don't lie

[siraulo23]

ball dont lie

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Well whatdoya know? Another foul!

[Obstructed_View]

What the hell, Heat-Magic fourth quarter might be worth watching.

Joey Crawford melted down and threw White Chocolate out.

[Horse]

Obvious contact hahahaha stupid fuck t-wolf annoncer.

[widowmaker]

Bullshit officiating, it's in plain sight. How are we gonna get back in the game?

[ShoogarBear]

Duncan is pissed!

[Spurs Brazil]

fucking refs

[Crookshanks]

Spurs can't get a rebound because they're whistled for the foul almost every time.

[CFH]

Duncan frustrated, can't blame him

[GSH]

Those were two piss poor calls in a row, when we were on the defensive end. Then they fall on Timmy's back, and nothing.

[ace3g]

this is the first game I've seen Duncan really pissed

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan is getting killed by the refs, as usual..this is ridiculous, how does a top 10 player of all-time not get calls against scrubs?..

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Haha! I forgot about Kosta Koufos

[angelbelow]

Wow... really?

[siraulo23]

pop is hot

[timtonymanu]

Timmy is pissed. He's gonna take over now.

[Spurologist]

Joey Crawford melted down and threw White Chocolate out.

that was hilarious......Joey was almost baiting JWILL to do something so he could throw him out.

Redick tripping him over was the funniest

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Poor Duncan, he has to deal with these dumbfucked announcers and refs.

[GSH]

Bullshit officiating, it's in plain sight. How are we gonna get back in the game?

With this officiating, we're not. This has been way too one-sided tonight. It goes a long way to getting a team out of sync.

[ShoogarBear]

Okay, the next five minutes are the game.

[Horse]

Fucking darko getting more respect than Timmy are you fucking kidding me.

[angelbelow]

These wolves announcers are something else..

[CFH]

Dice J

[Borosai]

Down to 11!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Mcydeyss!!!!!!! (Yes I spelled his name wrong.)

[bongraider]

dice getting it on

[ShoogarBear]

Dammit, RJ how do you miss that?

[ffadicted]

Come on Jeffy dunk that shit

[Obstructed_View]

Damn. Can't even hit the bunny tonight.

[GSH]

Pissed off another steal.

[CFH]

Damn, RJ misses the layup but goes to the line for 2

[ace3g]

RJ totally messed up the spacing on that fast break, luckily he got fouled

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

These wolves announcers are something else..

I know it's barley standable. :bang

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

put your shit together now and make your fucking free throws!!

[Cessation]

wow these cock sucking refs

[CFH]

Make your free throws

[Spurs Brazil]

defense is good now

[timtonymanu]

Come on.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Only a 10 point game! Keep fighting back spurs!

[GSH]

Can't convert the fast break, then RJ short-arms a free throw - nearly missed the rim.

[ace3g]

only down 10 now, Splitter in, yes he is wearing the arm sleeve, watch out !!!

[Obstructed_View]

Stop shooting threes. No matter how open. Just stop.

[ShoogarBear]

lol Splitter flopping

[ffadicted]

whoa jefferson

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Woah that guy went fucking high.

[Obstructed_View]

Spurs take a three and miss. Timberwolves fake a three, drive and draw a foul. There's a reason the Wolves are getting the calls, folks.

[ShoogarBear]

Oh good God.

[CFH]

Have the chance to make a comeback and keep blowing it

[Obstructed_View]

Was Hill lining himself up for another three when he stepped on the line?

[Spurs Brazil]

we're missing open shot after open shot

[Supreme_Being]

This game has a big WTF written on it.

[Texas_Ranger]

Hill can suck some dick after this game!!!

[timtonymanu]

Come on guys. I swear there's always one player that's gotta fuck up everything.

[CFH]

Hill jumper

[ace3g]

big shot from Hill

[Libri]

chip away, chip away

[Obstructed_View]

Finally, Georgie starts to figure it out.

[ShoogarBear]

Finally, 3 seconds the other way

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck Hill

[Ice009]

George Hill is a complete fuckup this season.

[Supreme_Being]

It's time to GET SOME FUCKING STOPS DAMNIT.

[Borosai]

Single digit...

[Spurologist]

Darko back to earth.....time to get it under 10

[Nathan89]

I predict a bunch of threes from Bonner.

[Texas_Ranger]

I smell Bonner.

[ShoogarBear]

Sigh

[Obstructed_View]

Stop shooting threes. No matter how open. Just stop.

Fuck you, ST.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Another 3 point miss by Bonner. *Sigh*

[CFH]

Ffffffffffffffffffffffffff

[Supreme_Being]

WTF Boner.

[Borosai]

My predictions suck.

[ShoogarBear]

I predict a bunch of threes from Bonner.

Attempts or makes?

[VBM]

6 point fucking turnaround...dammit bonner

[timtonymanu]

why does everything have to be a 3?

[Obstructed_View]

lol Anthony Tolliver with the D.

[noles1983]

LOL bonner has falling off the cliff, he will go into mental midget mode now.

[Cessation]

why bonner why

[bongraider]

bullshit call after bullshit call

[Texas_Ranger]

Fuck this lineup Pop.

[HarlemHeat37]

Wes Johnson having the game of his life..

[timtonymanu]

there's a former Spur right there.

[Frankie23]

Can anyone play pick and roll with Splitter?? Is it that hard?

[ShoogarBear]

Sweet, Bonner draws an offensive foul on Love.

Now, put somebody else on him.

[Supreme_Being]

Mattie sucking major balls right now. WTF.

[Horse]

This has got to be the worst fucking officiated game I've ever seen and I been watching forever. These fucking zebras want the home crowd happy.

[timtonymanu]

Thanks alot Bonner for extending their lead. Jesus Christ can we make a comeback already?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

pop: matt bonner is the best shooter I've even seen for the spurs.

[024]

live by bonner, die by bonner.

[Obstructed_View]

Kevin Love in foul trouble!

[Ice009]

Award for most regressed player is George Hill.

[noles1983]

This has got to be the worst fucking officiated game I've ever seen and I been watching forever. These fucking zebras want the home crowd happy.

what crowd? i thought they were playing in a high school gym

[boutons_deux]

Will Matt choke 3Gs in the playoffs like he chokes on the road?

Spurs can't make 3Gs, Spurs can't win.

[VBM]

Wish James Anderson could borrow Udoka's foot and go drain some 3s for us

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

George Hill has been a huge disappointment this year. What happened? He was awesome last year!

[Cessation]

it will go up to 20 with bonner in

[Supreme_Being]

This is painful to watch.

[Nathan89]

Attempts or makes?

I predict makes.

[Spurs Brazil]

Let's make a damn shot and cut to 8 going to the 4th

[Horse]

what crowd? i thought they were playing in a high school gym
Well the few that showed up.

[Spurologist]

Wes Johnson having the game of his life..

against the spurs.......naturally

I was hoping for the some of your stats to show another player's superiority complex over the spurs :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Pop busy drawing up a play out of the timeout . . . for a three!

[ohmwrecker]

Kevin Love in foul trouble!

How many points do the Spurs get if he fouls out?

[Libri]

Wish James Anderson could borrow Udoka's foot and go drain some 3s for us

Udoka's foot is slow.

[CFH]

Parker layup

[Ice009]

Where is EricB? I want to see that clown come in after the bad games Bonner has and tell us his told you so. He only turns up after 1 or 2 good games. String of bad games you'll never see this guy. He'll say he's too busy to turn up after every game ;).

[Spurologist]

live by bonner, die by bonner.

that's what she said

[Fireball]

Kevin Love in foul trouble!

he has one PF

[Marie Laveau]

I put some bad Ju-Ju on those Spurs.

[TampaDude]

Spurs pretty much lost this game in the first quarter.

Still time to come back though. Gotta get it to 7 or 8 by the end of the 3rd.

[noles1983]

splitter is horrible

[Obstructed_View]

How many points do the Spurs get if he fouls out?

Don't know, but that was his first.

[Texas_Ranger]

Splitter sucks

[timtonymanu]

god these guys keep throwing up weak shit.

[GSH]

You think there was no defensive 3 seconds on that play? They could have called two people for it.

Nothing.

[ShoogarBear]

he has one PF

Yeah, that was the point.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

West also has 3 blocks? Wasn't there somebody else on T-Wolves with 3 blocks? Fuck that.

[Obstructed_View]

he has one PF

Exactly. He'd better be careful.

[Borosai]

Single digits going into the fourth. Get it done.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

holy shit tolliver is acting like he's the shit

[Supreme_Being]

Better make it Splitter.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

I predict makes.
Let's hope your prediction comes to life soon, because Bonner is soooo out of it.

[timtonymanu]

TWolves are on my shit list now. Fuckin fluke game tonight.

[noles1983]

love is a lucky fuck

[CFH]

Kevin Love can't fuckin' miss...

[HarlemHeat37]

Love just won't miss..he's good, but not this good, not even close..

[Whisky Dog]

Dang I just turned on the game, what happened?? How are they losing to Minnesota??

[bongraider]

fuck kevin love doing like that faggot dirk

[TampaDude]

Wow...Spurs are 2 of 19 from 3??? That's pathetic. They ain't winning this game.

[Obstructed_View]

Momentum in the NBA is a bitch.

[ohmwrecker]

I put some bad Ju-Ju on those Spurs.

Go crawl back under your rock, toad.

[GSH]

Tolliver standing in the paing, not defending anybody. It's a lot easier to control the paint when you can camp there.

[Supreme_Being]

The Golden God just got pwned.

[ShoogarBear]

Dang I just turned on the game, what happened?? How are they losing to Minnesota??

Twolves just shooting some shots. Beating a team they're supposed to beat.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Are you guys hearing these announcers? "T-Wolves are smoking!" "T-Wolves are sizziling"

[Supreme_Being]

fuck kevin love doing like that faggot dirk

LOL Exactly what I thought.

[Borosai]

C'mon single digits.

[Spurs Brazil]

Love is making a lot of crazy shots

[CFH]

Please cut the lead to single digits

[HarlemHeat37]

Can we see more Manu and Splitter pick and rolls?..Kevin Love is a terrible defender, exploit him..

[Obstructed_View]

Wow...Spurs are 2 of 19 from 3??? That's pathetic. They ain't winning this game.

What's sad is that it looks like they aren't going to deviate from the strategy. Splitter's drawn like three fouls in a row, so I expect him to come out next dead ball.

[ShoogarBear]

Wow...Spurs are 2 of 19 from 3??? That's pathetic. They ain't winning this game.

But the misses have been entertaining.

[Spurologist]

Argentina to Brazil

[timtonymanu]

Again these guys are drawing fouls too late. They need to do it every time instead of settling for jumpers.

[CFH]

Or not

[Supreme_Being]

WTF Splitter.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

We're back to 10. *Sigh*

[angelbelow]

Hopefully we can cut this to under double digits.

[ohmwrecker]

Dang I just turned on the game, what happened?? How are they losing to Minnesota??

It's obviously your fault.

[CFH]

Hill 3! Single digits! OMG!

[Borosai]

Single digits!

[Supreme_Being]

Finally. A three.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

It's about time George Hill showed up!

[Spurologist]

3333333333333333333333333333333333333

[Libri]

crap

[CFH]

Back to double digits D:
