[Texas_Ranger]

Lets finish them early, so our main players can get some rest for the Clippers.

But I can also see Ellis or Curry score 45 on us and make this ''Minnesota'' once again.

[NASpurs]

I wouldn't be surprised if one of our guards, thinking specifically of Tony but wouldn't be surprised if it was Manu, go for 30 plus tonight. Tony has been in a funk lately and this feels like the game where he just explodes. Although saying all of that, the Spurs are at their most lethal when the team has balanced scoring but we'll see either way.

Spurs 117 Warriors 105

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Spurs for the win!:flag::flag::flag:

[NASpurs]

The Blair vs Lee matchup should be fun to watch. Hopefully Blair has a good game today.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Bukefal, good job on the game thread :tu

On to the next one

[Darkwaters]

Spurs 119
Warriors 107

[TDMVPDPOY]

if blair doesnt have a good game here, then i dunno when his flunk is going to stop

his bound for a double double game

[cutewizard]

Spurs 140, Warriors 129

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[angelbelow]

Lets keep the Bukefal streak alive!

[Chomag]

Both teams are very similar in play now. blah! I hate even saying that!

However, spurs have much better players.

[Cry Havoc]

Tony better light up the Warriors tonight. They don't play D. At all.

[Bender]

Bukefal, good job on the game thread :tuyeah, he has a great record on game threads. the Dallas game we lost recently was started by someone else...

04:30 PM CETI didn't know what the hell CET stood for, so I googled it, so I learned something today. So hanging around ST all the time is not wasted time...

[LeCrab]

I nominate Bukefal to be the designated play off game thread starter

[Spurs Brazil]

This is going to be a tough one

Ellis, Lee and Curry are playing well and Wright is on fire

[BRs.Ganso]

Hope Splitter will play good minutes tonight,

[Pauleta14]

I see a win or lose by the 3s...

Bonner: Hero or Zero?

[Dex]

I'm hoping Blair can have a big game if he can get out on the break and take advantage of the Warrior's lack of size on the boards.

[Spursmania]

I see a win or lose by the 3s...

Bonner: Hero or Zero?

It's the Warriors, so he will be a Hero. Now if it were the Lakers or Mavs he'd be a zero.

[BanditHiro]

meh the late game stupid west coast

[bigdog]

Win

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

meh the late game stupid west coast
Yes, not too happy about this late one. :wakeup

[Pauleta14]

It's the Warriors, so he will be a Hero. Now if it were the Lakers or Mavs he'd be a zero.


I don't even think that Bonner's 3pts efficiency/confidence is related to the level of the opposition!

This guy is just unpredictable, he can miss every shots against the worst team and make all of them against the best one ... :lol

[duncan228]

I'm on the West Coast and it feels like a late start for me. :lol

[Fundamental]

Maybe we could lead all 4 quarters this time instead of just the last 1 or 2...

[HarlemHeat37]

This could really go either way, like with all Warriors games..

Monta and Lee are going to be very tough to stop..better hope that Ellis is having one of his cold, chuck-up nights..

It'll obviously come down to a shoot-out..the Spurs are the 2nd worst team in the NBA at defending the 3-point line, so that will be trouble against this team..live and die by the 3 tonight, as always..

uh oh look for manu to go for 40 tonight


@Manu Ginobili It reallly upsets me when somebody from the hotel wakes me up of my pregame nap by mistake VERY early. Baaaad mood.

[DesignatedT]

hate the 930 start time.

[duncan228]

Pop unsure if Ws are playing as fast under Smart as they were under Nellie. Not sure it matters. "They don't play slowly, that's for sure."

[dbestpro]

Maybe we could lead all 4 quarters this time instead of just the last 1 or 2...

The team is 14-2 with the best record in the NBA and you are upset because they don't lead for each of the 4 quarters. :rolleyes

[duncan228]

Pop says transition D biggest factor tonight vs GSW. It's "imperative," he says, "or we won't be in the game."

Spurs have traditionally owned glass vs. Nellie's Warriors. Could adding David Lee change that dynamic? "I would think so," Pop says.

Not expecting lineup changes from Pop says matchups/small ball keeping starting center (Blair) from logging starter's minutes.

Warriors coach Keith Smart, recalling his two-game stint w/Spurs in 1988-89: "I remember I made both my free throws."

Smart still maintains relationship with David Robinson, his roommate at the 1988 Pan American games and teammate for two games in SA.

[Fundamental]

not upset...just wondering how long we can continue these dramatic second half comebacks

[rayray2k8]

Lakers just lost to the Grizz... Oh I got a bad feeling about tonight. :lol

[DPG21920]

This is going to be a really fun game to watch. The Warriors are a guilty pleasure for NBA fans.

Memphis, I like watchin the Gasol brothers play. Mike Conolly jr was killin em.Close game 94-98.:lol

[FilSpursFan]

Warriors will win this time...

[Fireball]

Always good to see the Lakers lose, but on the other hand it shows you cannot take any team in the NBA lightly ... the Spurs might lose in Memphis as well

[maddnezz]

:flag:First play of the game go to the hole like you just got outta prison!:lol

[DesignatedT]

wow 3 in a row for the lakers.

[NASpurs]

Tonight feels like a small ball kind of night.

[peskypesky]

the game hasn't started yet, has it?

[Pauleta14]

Apparently I'm not the only one who has a bad "feeling" about this game...

[maddnezz]

Always good to see the Lakers lose, but on the other hand it shows you cannot take any team in the NBA lightly ... the Spurs might lose in Memphis as well:tu

well the Spurs did lose to Memphis twice last year.

[janetcn12]

So, don't count your chicken before it hatch. Go Spurs? Go Warriors. May the best team wins.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Nice to see Lakers get served another portion of defeat.

Now on to the Spurs game. We got a late one tonight folks!

[FilSpursFan]

let the games begin!

[Danny.Zhu]

3 misses

[CFH]

Timmy!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Nice one by Duncan. Oh, and this crowd sucks big time.

[dbestpro]

The offense should never run through Blair.

[CFH]

RJ dunk!

[DPG21920]

Spurs need to pound these guys on the boards. Tim has a great advantage tonight and I like going to him early.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Jefferson with the dunk.

[DPG21920]

Wow, quick move by Monta.

[dbestpro]

Blair needs to pay for a ticket.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

I enjoy Blair, but he's really not meant to be a starter. I hope Pop starts bringing out Tiago soon to start off.

[CFH]

Blair, nice feed from Duncan

[ZoParkerHill]

fuck the Lakers
:flag::flag::flag:

Spurs are gnna tear it up tonight!!

[CFH]

Timmy putback

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Another basket by Jefferson. I think he's going to shine tonight.

[Texas_Ranger]

I love how Curry takes 10 fucking steps before he puts the ball on the ground.

[dbestpro]

Blair just does nothing for the chemistry of the starting unit. Even the score by Blair was bad because he brought his man into TD by jamming the paint.

[timtonymanu]

Blair's defense is yuck already.

[CFH]

Parker drive

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Nice one Tony! Get out of the slump!

[Fireball]

well the Spurs did lose to Memphis twice last year.

that's exactly what I am talking about

[CFH]

Timmy J

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Nice jumper from Timmy! :)

[duncan228]

Duncan looking good tonight.

[CFH]

Do work Parker

[DPG21920]

Curry is a freak shooter. He is so much better than I thought he would be.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Another Parker layup!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice to see Tmmy starting well

[NASpurs]

I wish Tim would have dunked that

[DPG21920]

Tim/TP look very good. TP is finishing well and Duncan is really focused.

[Pauleta14]

Yeah I have a bad feeling as well.


The silver lining is that I'm the worst at drawing pronostics... :lol

[CFH]

Make the free throws

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Well it looks like Golden State still doesn't play defense after Don Nelson left.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu for 22222222222222

[CFH]

Manu J

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Manu!!!!!!

[NASpurs]

The silver lining is that I'm the worst at drawing pronostics... :lol

Spurs can't miss so I guess we might be wrong :toast

[maddnezz]

lol at dude tryin to get charge on Tim! Dats 2 much ass 4 ya young boy!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Not liking this Blair defense so far....

[Tp9gospursgo]

Good try Timmy.

[ffadicted]

Splitter on Lee plz

[BanditHiro]

fuck fuck we let them back in to the game

[DPG21920]

Tim is super active on offense. Spurs looking very sharp. Good to see them come out sharp. Lets see if they can continue to execute and carry a lead for a while.

[CFH]

Damn, gotta get the rebounds

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I'm hoping we can blow this open early and gve Manu and Duncan a rest.

[peskypesky]

man i'm jealous of all you lucky folk who get to watch this game

[Pauleta14]

Here it goes, Biedrins is gonna have HIS offensive game of the year against us...

[CFH]

fuck fuck we let them back in to the game

Calm down, it's still early :lol

[Dex]

fuck fuck we let them back in to the game

We haven't even made our first subs yet. Pretty sure no one is in or out of the game at this point.

[dbestpro]

Blair blows. Shame how he has become the new villian of the team.

[DesignatedT]

Timmy lookin fresh.

[DPG21920]

fuck fuck we let them back in to the game

Relax, scroh. It is basketball, it is the Warriors. Runs will be made.

[Texas_Ranger]

Blair's defense on Lee is not really good. I bet Bonner will try soon.

[Nathan89]

Blair sucks again:depressed

[NASpurs]

Calm down, it's still early :lol

:lol the dude is hilarious

[Pauleta14]

Tony should thanks Timmy for that goaltending... ;)

[timtonymanu]

Hiro overreacts way more than Ice does. I guess Bandit thinks we should be blowing everyone out every minute of the game?

[mystargtr34]

Damn.... Lee just gets what he wants against Blair.

[maddnezz]

Good hands and pass DB!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Duncan to the line.

[DesignatedT]

good job blair.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Hey, Hill's coming in.

[maddnezz]

GS comentators not bad actualy tolarable.

[Libri]

nice layup by Blair

[CFH]

Blair layup

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Good paint shot by Blair!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

DB being more patient!

[CFH]

TO, agh...

[DesignatedT]

wow i think we have worked through duncan in the post this 1st quarter more than the entire NO game.

[CFH]

Parker J

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Tony Parker with another basket!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Parker for 2222222222222222

[CFH]

Pay attention RJ

[ffadicted]

Monta is a pimp

[DPG21920]

frickty frick frick Spurs let Monta score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bonner...... better make your thees bro

[LeCrab]

what is parker doing i hate when he starts to ball hog :bang:bang

[BanditHiro]

can we just pull away please

[DesignatedT]

monte ellis is so money.

[td4mvp21]

Why the fuck is Bonner first big in when their lineup is Biedrins/Lee? :pctoss

[Dex]

Hill's FTs have a weird trajectory. They always look like they are going to come up short, but then nestle right in.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Come on Timmy :(

[ffadicted]

a lot of silly mistakes early on...

[NASpurs]

Tim needs to make those shots. George Hill with a stupid turnover

[LeCrab]

Tim make a shot man we are giving you the ball on every play

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Yes, they announcers are tolerable. Not half bad.

[CFH]

Yeesh...

[timtonymanu]

Bandit: Great we lost.

[Danny.Zhu]

4 TOs

[Spurologist]

TOs :bang

[BanditHiro]

why do the warriors have to try so much

[Dex]

Why the fuck is Bonner first big in when their lineup is Biedrins/Lee? :pctoss

Because he is Matt Bonner.

I had a hard time believing all those people that said he'd buried on the bench.

[DesignatedT]

fuck

[maddnezz]

Georgie throw the ball off the defenders when trapped! Blacktop b-ball 101

[Dex]

Bandit: Great we lost.

:lol

[bigdog]

Best opposing team announcers I've heard in a while. Tim needs to make some more of those east baskets.

[Pauleta14]

what is parker doing i hate when he starts to ball hog :bang:bang

???

[Crookshanks]

Another game where I have to listen to the other team's announcers. I hope the Spurs start pulling away and just kill this team - then I won't have to listen to the stupid announcers talking about how great the Warriors are.

[BanditHiro]

Bandit: Great we lost.

na we are good just wish they would have went for the jugular already and get some rest

[timtonymanu]

Another game where I have to listen to the other team's announcers. I hope the Spurs start pulling away and just kill this team - then I won't have to listen to the stupid announcers talking about how great the Warriors are.

The announcers have been pretty good so far.

[Fireball]

Best opposing team announcers I've heard in a while. Tim needs to make some more of those east baskets.

tomorrow we will listen to the best when we play the Clippers ... these guys think the Spurs are Gods

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Curry doin work

[TIMMYD!]

Great pass by Tim too bad Tony couldn't capitalize on the layup.

[Spurologist]

Elliott: If the spurs keep playing the way there are, their record is gonna be gaudier than Don King's Jewelry collection

:lol

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Man the offense has gone t shit sinceManu has left thefloor

[Crookshanks]

The announcers have been pretty good so far.

They're not as bad as some of the other one's I've had to listen to, but I still really miss hearing the Spurs announcers.

[Danny.Zhu]

Bring in 2nd unit please.

[DPG21920]

Well Spurs can't really hold leads for long. They are still playing well, but they have started to miss some easy shots and Monta/Curry have it going as usual.

[maddnezz]

Must suck when youve got the Ken doll face and your son looks like Alfred E. Newman lol!:lol

[LeCrab]

???
i got mixed up i meant monte ellis

[NASpurs]

I wish we had James Anderson. Seems like the type of game where he could shine.

[Dex]

Be a nice time for Neal to have another spark game. He's been quiet lately.

[maddnezz]

Good call shux!

[td4mvp21]

Because he is Matt Bonner.

I had a hard time believing all those people that said he'd buried on the bench.

A lot of us knew this would be the case once he was resigned. I honestly don't understand it. I understand in spot situations, but first big off the bench? Give me a break.

[Tp9gospursgo]

We gotta play some defense.

[DesignatedT]

fucking hill. terrible

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Ok.... it was cute the first couple of times, but now fuck you Curry

[DPG21920]

Curry is barely touching net on those shots.

[maddnezz]

Good way 2 draw foul G-Hill

[Crookshanks]

Waaaay too many turnovers already

[TIMMYD!]

Neal 33333333333333333333

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[DesignatedT]

Neal baby. keep it up son.

[NASpurs]

lol 3 fts plus a technical

[ffadicted]

luuuulz 4 free points

[DPG21920]

Technical as well?

[Drewlius]

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu 4 Ft's :D

[CFH]

Manu 3 FTs and a T on Ellis HE MAD

[Spurologist]

manu 4 pt play (technical)

[maddnezz]

4 point play WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[duncan228]

Manu just brilliant.

[Dex]

How does Manu seem to know he is going to get fouled? He would know better than to take that shot otherwise.

[DesignatedT]

there you go manu.

[DPG21920]

That is the Warriors for you. Very talented, but shoot themselves in the foot.

[TIMMYD!]

Ginobili with the smart play, shoots the FT for the tech on Curry then gets 3 more for the foul.

[BanditHiro]

yay 4 point play

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

He better not just play 3 secnds :lol

[TIMMYD!]

Tim with 8,4,and 4.

[DPG21920]

Manu seems virtually guaranteed to score in iso plays at the end of the quarter. It is astonishing.

[td4mvp21]

Ginobili gives us a four point lead :smokin

[Spurologist]

gets all 4!!!!!! That's how you end quarters....some luck though

[CFH]

Spurs up by 4 after 1

[timtonymanu]

So McDyess is taking the night off it seems?

[Danny.Zhu]

Manu is god.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I was at another site and was surprised that Manu was getting A TON of love from people who say that he is "under rated". Most agreed that he is a top 3 SG in the league!

[DPG21920]

Tim with 8,4,and 4.

He's about to mess around and get a triple double.

[DesignatedT]

Wish Bruce was here to frustrate monta into another T.

[Texas_Ranger]

Udoka is in. :D

[Pauleta14]

lol Manu already +12 when the closest is Neal with +5...

[Mugen]

For an exciting team, the Warriors have probably the most boring commentators ever.

[Nathan89]

Nice ending to the quarter.

Tim played the entire 1st so he should be back at the 6min mark in 2qtr.

[Darkwaters]

4 FT's in a row. Good job Manu.

[DesignatedT]

So McDyess is taking the night off it seems?

Just thinking the same thing. Might give Mcdyess tonight off and Duncan tomorrow off (Duncan played the whole 1st)

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

So McDyess is taking the night off it seems?


Kind of looks that way huh? I expect Duncan or manu to get some rest (hopefully tonight) but most likely tomorrow.

[bigdog]

Wish Bruce was here to frustrate monta into another T.

But we have Udoka to do that. Oh wait...

[maddnezz]

:lol
He's about to mess around and get a triple double.

8 assists / 11 fgs = so far so good

TD with 8/4/4

For an exciting team, the Warriors have probably the most boring commentators ever.

so is their crowd. too bad. I loved them during the Mavs series.

8 Ast on 11 FGs ... looks good ... defense will pick up if needed

Gotta love Manu.
