Game Blog: Spurs @ Hornets - Nov. 28

[CFH]

Gotta make your free throws...

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Damn, missed 1.

[ducks]

Spurs gonna score by 17+ in 2nd half? yeah, right good b
ye then

[CFH]

3 turnovers in a row for NO

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Ok, Spurs possesion again. Get this down to a 10 or 9 point game

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Got to finish those Hill

[NASpurs]

I'm glad the refs didn't fall for that shit Chris Paul screen

[CFH]

Alright Georgie, make your free throws

[tuncaboylu]

Finish it, you bastard Gorge Hill...

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

3 turnovers in a row for NO
Big opportunity for the Spurs to go on a run.

[Xylus]

I don't understand for the life of me why the Spurs ever play small ball. To me, small ball is something you play out of necessity, when you just don't have the players on the roster to play a big lineup. A 2-man combo of Duncan, Splitter, Blair, and Bonner should be on the court at all times.

Edit: Forgot about Dice, too.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Come on SA!!!!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Why are they letting that scrub Green shoot?

[Obstructed_View]

Manu's limping.

[ducks]

spurs down 10 get it to 5 by end of quarter

[NASpurs]

RJ for threeeeeeeeeeeeee

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

RJ fuck yeah!!!

[Tp9gospursgo]

RJ!! Hopefully Manu is ok

[CFH]

RJ 3! Lead down to 7

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

For trreeeeesssss! 7 point game! 10-0 run! :)

[maddnezz]

Hornets big whatever cant play no D has anyone else notiched?

[tuncaboylu]

Hola RJeff.

DEFENSE!!!

[Chase_the_Bass]

I never lose faith. Nice run

[siraulo23]

shit smallball working

[duncan228]

They can do this...keep it close, grind out the win.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

bullshit foul

[boutons_deux]

Bellinelli = Jean Reno's brother?

[CFH]

Don't even know who the foul is on :lol

[ducks]

spurs down 7

[hitmanyr2k]

Ariza was passing that ball lol. Are they in the penalty?

[tuncaboylu]

Refs came to help to Hornets.
Motherfuckers.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Spurs have gotta play good defense and extend this run out even more. No smallball

[NASpurs]

Manu and 1!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu GINOBILI!! <3 <3

[Tp9gospursgo]

And 1!

[CFH]

Manu AND 1!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Ginobli and 1! YEAH!

[Refocus]

nice manu!! hopefully Thornton stays glued to the bench. :P

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

the bees matching spurs' small lineup lol

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck You David West

[ducks]

3 on west

[CFH]

Lead down to 6, come on defense!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

6 point game. Keep fighting Spurs! Shock Hornets!

[benefactor]

Lead to six...game still over?

[pookenstein]

manu @ work. and1.

[SCdac]

Small Ball has actually been effective in this second half (combined with tougher D)....

It's the "Neal-Quinn-Hill" kind of small ball that produced the exact opposite effects.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fuck You David West
Agreed

[Death In June]

Goddamn it, Hill.

[tuncaboylu]

You should convert that 3 Hill, it was so important...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Gh3!!!!

[CFH]

Nice Hill

[Obstructed_View]

shit smallball working

:lol That's what Pop's telling himself. It has nothing to do with the Hornets missing shots and Manu and Parker going to the rim.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Very nice drive by Hill! Now a 5 point game! Keep fightin' Spurs

[timtonymanu]

Man Hill you should have made that.

[tuncaboylu]

Nice play Hill. DEFENSE!

[tuncaboylu]

Fuck you Belinelli.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck!!!

[BanditHiro]

damn that three just has to go in

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Damn, we're missing all these 3's.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Good Timeout Pop. Manu needs to drive more. Get the 3 the old fashioned way

[Chomag]

If spurs would just stop trying to win this game with 3's

[CFH]

Get the lead down to 5 then it's right back up to 9 in the blink of an eye

[Crookshanks]

Stop jacking up 3's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NASpurs]

I'm scared when our bench enters the game.

[CFH]

if spurs would just stop trying to win this game with 3's

+1

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Back to 9 again. Thankfully the 3rd quarter isn't even over yet and Spurs are still grinding it out. Don't give up Spurs.

[Death In June]

The hornets feed is god awful.

[tuncaboylu]

Paul is a great player, he could give assist to that moron Okafor.

[Texas_Ranger]

''The best point guard on the planet''

Yea right.

[timtonymanu]

goddamn give hornets a fluke shot and they go on a run.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Keep fighting Spurs!!!!

[boutons_deux]

well, well, well, a little bit of sunshine

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Stop jacking up 3's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what I'm thinking........:depressed

[Crookshanks]

The hornets feed is god awful.

That's why I'm watching with no sound! :bang

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

''The best point guard on the planet''

Yea right.


Apparently he didn' watch Dwill tear his PG a new asshole

[Lukor]

Apparently he didn' watch Dwill tear his PG a new asshole

HAHA i was thinking the same thing

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Cool TP with a turnover....

[Death In June]

Tony Parker...ugh.

[Refocus]

tp :bang

[CFH]

Dammit

[Obstructed_View]

Apparently he didn' watch Dwill tear his PG a new asshole

When was that? :lol

[maddnezz]

Why does GHill wait for CP3 to dribble the ballpast half court to pressure him? A player should in his opponets pocket as soon as the ball touches his hand!

[Fireball]

Apparently he didn' watch Dwill tear his PG a new asshole

thats because DWill plays as if he comes from another planet

[tuncaboylu]

I can't play our offense after getting time-out. It was terrible.

[Cessation]

spurs 4-15 from three lol

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fuck these turnovers

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck you TP!

[Death In June]

More threes....

[CFH]

Wow Parker, luckily those TO's didn't result in points

[WildcardManu]

dammmmit, Ime in..

[Obstructed_View]

Ime's getting someone's minutes. I'm guessing Splitter's.

[CFH]

Yeesh...

[Tp9gospursgo]

Manu goes out.....we start missing shots.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Another missed shot....*sigh*

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Somebody guard green

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Ime

[WeNeedLength]

Ime Udoka to save the day!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Ok, 3 second violation. C'mon sink this one and get a 2 or 3.

[Death In June]

Udoka? Kill yourself, pop.

[tuncaboylu]

Why can't we play on both defense and offense?

[Crookshanks]

Another 3 - another miss...

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Shit, Udoka's coming in.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

There ya go Timmy

[CFH]

Duncan!

[tuncaboylu]

At least we remind Duncan.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Good ol' Duncan! :)

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Bullshit call

[WeNeedLength]

Timmy being aggressive! It's a beautiful sight!

[tuncaboylu]

We're good at boards, that's the positive side.

[CFH]

Opportunity to cut it to 4

[CFH]

Or not

[hitmanyr2k]

That's just lazy "D" by Okafor. How can you not stay with someone as slow as Duncan? :lol Okafor didn't even move his feet. Just hacked him.

[Tp9gospursgo]

There we go spurs

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Lol Udoka!!!!! Hes awesome

[Tp9gospursgo]

Ime.....

[CFH]

Udoka :(

[Creation88]

Why the fuck is udoka in the game?

[Refocus]

Why is udoka playing

[NASpurs]

Udoka is a guard and dribbles like Yao Ming in the open court

[BanditHiro]

wtf is udoka doing in there

[hitmanyr2k]

Neal throws a pass right into traffic? Low IQ play.

[tuncaboylu]

I can't believe Udoka.

[Death In June]

Parker is killing the team right now.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Great defense Spurs

[hitmanyr2k]

Was that Udoka? My bad Neal :lol

[Drewlius]

lol, this SOB gets paid a million dollars to play basketball, and he can't even dribble. Absolutely absurd.

[CFH]

Manu with the block!

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck Idoka, piece of shit

[duncan228]

This third quarter feels like it's taken a month to play. :lol

[timtonymanu]

Udoka messed with our comeback. I dont who's a worse dribbler, Udoka or Bogans?

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

We're down to 5.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Defense!!!!!

[Dex]

Okeydokey strikes again.

[CFH]

Another block, sweeeeeeeeeeeet!

[benefactor]

lol Udoka. He spends like 3 minutes in the game and all he does is score 2 points for the Hornets.

[NASpurs]

That was a leaning three from Manu. WTF

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Please stop shooting all these 3's.

[CFH]

Well Spurs only down by 5 now, let's do this!

[8FOR!3]

This third quarter feels like it's taken a month to play. :lol

But it's been a great quarter. Finally playing some d.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Do I smell a comeback?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu that three would have been great!

[Death In June]

What..the...fuck was that?

[WeNeedLength]

fuck Idoka, piece of shit

You give him too much credit :lol

Down 5 going into the 4th. Lets do this! Keep feeding Timmay!

[Chomag]

Much better effort on D. Keep it up!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

77-72. Spurs have gotta keep driving. Redemption must be made. Go Spurs Go!

[benefactor]

Nice job gutting out that third quarter. Now can they continue to do it when Paul and West get back in the game.

[ducks]

spurs still shotting only 41%

wow and down 5

[Tp9gospursgo]

Udoka messed with our comeback. I dont who's a worse dribbler, Udoka or Bogans?

Udoka.

[bigdog]

If you're gonna shoot a bunch of 3's, at least let them be good looks. .

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I hope Tp goes off for 12 in this Q and we run away with this thing!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Good run in the 3rd, let's get this shit done

[timtonymanu]

Ok. The Spurs proved me wrong and put themselves back in the game.

They need to stop turning over the ball and stop relying on 3's to take the lead.

[NASpurs]

28-16 3rd quarter. Sweet.

[ChuckD]

Small ball to the rescue!!! Suck it, hatas!!

[pookenstein]

very good quarter. solid d. if only that last manu 3 was in.

[Dex]

Day games throw me off. The sun keeps reminding me it's not like 10 o'clock.

[jestersmash]

This message is hidden because ducks is on your ignore list.

Some bull shit message about Ginobili taking that 3. Am I right or am I right?

[Bukefal]

Come on Spurs, step up and come back!

:flag::flag::flag:

[Tp9gospursgo]

I hope Tp goes off for 12 in this Q and we run away with this thing!!!

Let's hope so. :toast

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Hey Pop, now that your team is coming back, get Udoka out of the game. That worthless piece of shit can't play ball.

[boutons_deux]

Manu was leaning forward on the last 3, and it was long

[TDfan2007]

I am loving this defense. Everybody working together. Keep being aggressive Timmy!

[Dex]

This message is hidden because ducks is on your ignore list.

Some bull shit message about Ginobili taking that 3. Am I right or am I right?

If you want to know what ducks is talking about, then why are you ignoring him?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Keep attacking RJ!!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

the hornets had made just 5 field goals the entire 3rd quarter, compared to 24 made in the first half...

[ducks]

This message is hidden because ducks is on your ignore list.

Some bull shit message about Ginobili taking that 3. Am I right or am I right? a leaning three is a stupid shot

[NASpurs]

This message is hidden because ducks is on your ignore list.

Some bull shit message about Ginobili taking that 3. Am I right or am I right?

Surprisingly not about Manu.

[CFH]

Rj!

[bigdog]

Niiiice start to the 4th.

[Horse]

I know we rely on 3's to a degree but why do we force so many?

[ducks]

Manu was leaning forward on the last 3, and it was long
it was stupid as stupid can be

[CFH]

Take advantage of this turnover

[NASpurs]

Always Believe. :)

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Manu 3! Two in a row! Keep fighting Spurs! This one ain't over yet!

[angelbelow]

Just started watching, love the B2B 3s from RJ and Manu. Looking at the boxscore we struggled quite a bit in the 1st half huh?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I'd go gay for Dick!!!!

[ducks]

it is raining three's

[tuncaboylu]

I love you guys. 6 up, what a comeback!!

[Bukefal]

yeahhhh Spurs

[Cessation]

oh yeah dicky j

[BlairForceDejuan]

Adriiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

fuck yea!!!!!!

[benefactor]

Wow...that lineup that the Hornets rolled out was pure fail. Nice counter by Pop putting RJ at PF and Dice on West.

[ChuckD]

Udoka.

Not his fault. Any other guard on the Spurs KNOWS not to give him the ball on the break. It would be like giving the ball to Blair.

[pookenstein]

manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
come on guys. now put that game away.

[itzsoweezee]

That's Manu Ginobili, bitches

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Just started watching, love the B2B 3s from RJ and Manu. Looking at the boxscore we struggled quite a bit in the 1st half huh?


8 minutes of Chris Quinn, George Hill, Gary Neal, Matt Bonner, and Splitter :lol

[Refocus]

FUCK YEAHhhh!

[timtonymanu]

Fuck yeah!!! RJ Dice Neal Manu clutch shots.

[Crookshanks]

Okay - I take it back. All those jacked up 3's were just practice for the 4th quarter! :lol

[Cessation]

omg i almost jizzed my pants seeing so many nasty triples

[NASpurs]

Just started watching, love the B2B 3s from RJ and Manu. Looking at the boxscore we struggled quite a bit in the 1st half huh?

Struggled is the understatement of the year.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

the magic of the three ball :worthy:

[WeNeedLength]

Die by the 3, LIVE BY THE 3!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Always Believe. :)

:toast

[hitmanyr2k]

When it comes to playmaking and scoring Ginobili has certainly been the Spurs MVP this year. His defense has been exceptional as well.

[Banzai]

Good game Spurs..btw..is Neal a new player? I never even knew he was on the team lol..anyways it will be a great game once the Spurs and Lakers go head to head.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Now the Spurs have to play solid defense, and prevent West from scoring in the paint.

[TDfan2007]

And now the threes are falling. Manu is an unbelievable playmaker, and his 3 is looking as good as ever.

[Drewlius]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[024]

shit, did not know the game was this early. looking at the box score, looks like the hornets owned the spurs in the first half and the spurs came roaring back in the second.

[benefactor]

Nice counter by Pop putting RJ at PF
I can't believe I just said this.

[DesignatedT]

small ball winning this game.

[pookenstein]

how does it feel fucking hornets when a team can't miss
:ihit:flag:


Always Believe. :)

Adriiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
:rollin:lmao

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

That's why I'm watching with no sound! :bang
Same with me. These announcers are boring and annoying. :bang:bang:bang

[SuperManu!!!]

it is raining three's


But it's all thanks to parker who passes the ball right??? Oh wait, he is benched because he's a ballhog

[NickiRasgo]

Wow! Nice comeback, 13-2 in 4th Quarter, Spurs.

[maddnezz]

This kind of game makes your ass itch! Manu and Bullet head 4 3!!!! Now the next 2 plays drive to the cup!!!! Oh yea with regaurds to David West.. he weak!:ihit

[TDfan2007]

Horrible foul. I don't like RJ on West.

[spurspokesman]

Neal. Is. Clutch.

seems so.:toast:flag:

[jestersmash]

CP3 hasn't shown up in 4th quarters yet. Let's hope the trend continues.

Then again with someone like CP3 you never hold your breath.

[NASpurs]

Manu with the layup

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu <3

[Ace]

BR to blame the refs in 5...4...3...2...

[CFH]

Manu!
