[TIMMYD!]

http://d.yimg.com/a/p/sp/getty/d8/fullj.a9b11a491608276b1b54e0fcd41b23a1/a9b11a491608276b1b54e0fcd41b23a1-getty-103894230hh002_san_antonio_.jpg

[CFH]

GTFO Cook

[DesignatedT]

lmao brian cook? really

[DPG21920]

OMG Cook. GTFO.

Ugly from Tiago.

[Texas_Ranger]

lol Splitter

[Spurminator]

Yetch...

[ShoogarBear]

Ugly shot, Tiago.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

manu putting up weak shit...

unless that was a pass :lol

[DesignatedT]

wow terrible shot tiago.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Ugly shot Splitter

[timtonymanu]

LMAO Brian Cook really?

[siraulo23]

good timeout

fuck cook

[austN Spur]

dang that shot by Tiago was close...he almost hit the rim

[erikuff]

clippers just shooting themselves in the foot

[Spurologist]

Splitter is still shaken after the almost posterization His hook shot barely hit glass :lol

[DPG21920]

Spurs need a basket right now in a bad way. Have to keep up some mo' going into the fourth.

Terrible start, back to back, just find a way to win, even if it's ugly.

[timtonymanu]

Are these even the same Clippers announcers?

I thought they had class.

[DAF86]

Is Tony hurt?

[DesignatedT]

alright. these guys have been hitting shots like crazy and have to cool down. Keep up the active defense and we will be alright.

[maddnezz]

Whew I'm glad we're winning.......wait what?

[Refocus]

Does Tiago have any post moves? ..

Well I suppose he has the footwork down but damn I feel like he never makes those.

[itzsoweezee]

If BOnner is in after this timeout, I'm going to scream.

[ShoogarBear]

Is Tony hurt?

Dunno, but clearly playing like crap.

[HarlemHeat37]

One of the big 3 needs to be on after the timeout, none of the other guys can create offense..

[Obstructed_View]

Where my link at? PM plz. :)

[DJ Mbenga]

the clips are beating themselves. doing the spurs many favors tonight. not shocking from a young team

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Is Tony hurt?

physically? No.

[TampaDude]

Okay...had it down to 4...just gotta get some stops and keep chipping away.

[Nathan89]

Were not going to win if we don't play manu and tim more.

[DAF86]

Where my link at? PM plz. :)

Same here please.

[TampaDude]

Just one question: If Blake Griffin is such a monster, why are the Clippers 3-15???

[LeCrab]

One of the big 3 needs to be on after the timeout, none of the other guys can create offense..
are you watching the game every time neal touches the ball he scores they need to give him the ball more....

[siraulo23]

If BOnner is in after this timeout, I'm going to scream.

:wow

[maddnezz]

physically? No. Missing Eva's fajitas!

[LeCrab]

Just one question: If Blake Griffin is such a monster, why are the Clippers 3-15???
his team is horrible he has to create plays on his own

[Libri]

Does Tiago have any post moves? ..

Well I suppose he has the footwork down but damn I feel like he never makes those.

It's hard to show it when he doesn't play much.

[CFH]

Late whistle...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

What a late whistle

[HarlemHeat37]

are you watching the game every time neal touches the ball he scores they need to give him the ball more....

Neal is not a reliable option, he's obviously a role player that needs attention from others..


Spurs need to get Parker in right now, come on Pop..

[DesignatedT]

wow late whistle.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I hope the big 3 aren't done for the night

[TampaDude]

Spurs have gone ice cold from 3. They're gonna lose.

[hitmanyr2k]

:lol @ Ginobili looking at the replay like where's the fuckin foul? Splitter fouled the guy with his back?!?

[lefty]

Is Tony hurt?
Ducks is that you?

[DPG21920]

Keep it to within 2 possessions going into the fourth.

[Trainwreck2100]

lol davis was hugging him all the way down

[GrandeDavid]

The worst officiating ive seen in recent memory

[ElNono]

Bonner passing on shots like it's nobody's business. Get Blair/Dice in there before Del Negro starts calling isos for Griffin...

[DPG21920]

Cmon Tiago.

[Texas_Ranger]

lol Doc Rivers

[CFH]

Too bad Splitter isn't clutch at the line

[siraulo23]

cmon splitter make those fts

[DesignatedT]

FUCK. hit the free throw

[duncan228]

Announcers with the Orlando travel story. At least they didn't tell the cold cuts story. :lol

[DPG21920]

Stop. Score. Rinse. Repeat.

[LeCrab]

The worst officiating ive seen in recent memory
who is the female ref she is horrible

[siraulo23]

good d splitter

[DPG21920]

Splitter with fantastic defense. Best defensive play of the game.

[NASpurs]

Nice defensive rotation Spurs.

[Spurologist]

great D by Splitter

[HarlemHeat37]

Splitter's offense is shaky, but his defense has definitely been solid all year..day and night compared to Bonner and Blair..

[DJ Mbenga]

every clippers possession its either make or turnover

[CFH]

who is the female ref she is horrible

Violet Palmer

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice to see Splitter not backing away from Blake

[GSH]

Just one question: If Blake Griffin is such a monster, why are the Clippers 3-15???

When I've watched them play, they put a lot of effort into feeding those monster dunks. Everybody wants desert.

[DesignatedT]

plenty of time guys lets get a good look

[lefty]

Hustle and foul !!!!

[Spurologist]

there you go Splitter......finally someone with energy

[CFH]

Hit your free throws Splitter

[austN Spur]

Just one question: If Blake Griffin is such a monster, why are the Clippers 3-15???

because the west is tough.

[DPG21920]

Splitter effecting the game with his energy.

[DesignatedT]

whatever ill take it. hit the free throws

[lefty]

lol Doc Rivers
lol Orlando

[HarlemHeat37]

Splitter always seems to be at the right place in loose ball situations and on cuts..great basketball IQ..he obviously needs more minutes to get used to NBA defenders though..

[siraulo23]

oh cmon fts

[Spurologist]

-5

[DPG21920]

Shut them out Spurs.

[ElNono]

Is TP saving the best for last?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Son of a bitch

[DPG21920]

:wow Baron + Blake = Electric.

[TIMMYD!]

It's official. I fucking hate Griffin.

[CFH]

Another drunk by Griffin

[DJ Mbenga]

griffin might save baron davis' career

[DesignatedT]

splitters fault on d...

[TIMMYD!]

Another drunk by Griffin
:lol

[siraulo23]

damn it splitter

[HarlemHeat37]

The Spurs should NEVER help on Baron Davis..if he makes shots, live with it..

Splitter's shot is so off..he's going to the right places, can't finish, can't miss those if you want Pop to play you..

[lefty]

LMAO Davis

[BanditHiro]

we just can't get any momentum we had them in the first half but we couldn't fucking score and now this shit is happening

[NASpurs]

:lmao Hill wtf

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wow hill wow!!!!

[Texas_Ranger]

wtf?!

[timtonymanu]

Jesus Christ Hill.

[CFH]

:lol

Dunk* :lol

[Death In June]

Bonner sure does a lot of nothing.

[lefty]

Hill WTF was that :pctoss

[DPG21920]

Hill, Damn It.

[Spurminator]

Blew that one...

[Spurologist]

it might not be our night.

:pctoss

[ace3g]

come on Hill

[TIMMYD!]

George could have had an easy ass layup then loses the ball. Holy fuck.

[hitmanyr2k]

Damn Hill....butterfingers.

[GSH]

Man we've pissed of a bunch of opportunities tonight.

[ShoogarBear]

WTF, Hill . . :bang

[DesignatedT]

wow george wow. fucking a

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

gawdamn it

[HarlemHeat37]

Like I said, make Baron finish..his passing is his only strength at this point of his career..

Spurs fucking up easy layups..

Baron got away with a huge travel..

[ElNono]

Now we're turning it over... Awesome

[Trainwreck2100]

fuck fuck fuck fuck

[lefty]

At least Pop is pissed

[DPG21920]

Spurs need two stops and two scores. Focus.

[GrandeDavid]

How did hill lose that ball?

[DPG21920]

There is the fist stop.

[DAF86]

Put Tony back in, WTF?

[GrandeDavid]

What a terrible performance so far

[TIMMYD!]

If we get it down to 2 or 3 by the end of the quarter, I'll be extremely happy.

[austN Spur]

cmon spurs. It would be a damm shame to let this road streak end like this. lets go spurs close this quarter out!

[DPG21920]

There is the first score.

[siraulo23]

yes bonner nail the freebies

[BanditHiro]

At least Pop is pissed

he has only himself to blame for playing bonner for so fucking long. it killed any little momentum we had.

[Budkin]

We're only down five... not bad considering how shitty we've been.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

No threes please....

[CFH]

Bonner clutch free throw shooter :p

[lefty]

Del Negro showing some compassion by benching Griffin

[ElNono]

We should make a run now with Griffin in the bench

[Spurologist]

Like I said, make Baron finish..his passing is his only strength at this point of his career..

Spurs fucking up easy layups..

Baron got away with a huge travel..

he carried the ball 3 times at the top of the key

[DPG21920]

There is the second stop.

[Budkin]

Ok the Clips are cooling down now.

[NASpurs]

GTFO Bonner

[ShoogarBear]

Good grief, Bonner.

[Spurologist]

:flipoff Bonner

[ace3g]

come on bonner, wide open, have to make that

[GrandeDavid]

Bonner - useless

[DPG21920]

Would have been huge from Bonner. Instead, And 1.

[CFH]

Ugh

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Of course you would miss that Bonner

[TIMMYD!]

Bonner doing absolutely nothing for us.

And Bledsoe gets an And-1.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Bonner needs to go to the D-League

[TampaDude]

Spurs are completely dead from 3. This one's over, folks.

[timtonymanu]

Goddamn every time we need a bucket, we either miss or turn it over.

[Trainwreck2100]

god dammit

[DJ Mbenga]

hill was playing matador defense there?

[DesignatedT]

another mistake by splitter defensively.

[GrandeDavid]

Shameful performance

[ElNono]

Worthless fucking redhead... That's a 6 point turnaround right there

[HarlemHeat37]

Horrible D from Hill and Splitter, miscommunication..

Nice finish from Bledsoe though..

Spurs can't finish the crucial plays to gain momentum..Bonner wide open to cut it to 2, obviously fucked it up..huge swing..

[Budkin]

Christ.

[DPG21920]

Need a score. Lets go. Manu time.

[GSH]

Bonner shot isn't from the corner. I know it's shorter, but he doesn't hit that shot.

[TIMMYD!]

Bonner has played more minutes than Duncan tonight.

[NASpurs]

Chooooo chooooooooo

[ace3g]

cho cho

[maddnezz]

If you gonna foul, hitem hard so they remember!

[Trainwreck2100]

no buzzer beaters

[lefty]

Choooooooooooooooooooo choooooooooooooo

[Spurminator]

Man I love Gary Neal.

[DPG21920]

F*ck yeah. Gary.

[siraulo23]

choo choo delivers again

[CFH]

Chooo chooo 3!

[Spurologist]

nnnnnnnneeeeeeeaaaallllllll 3333333333333333333

[ShoogarBear]

Neal showing Bonner how it's done.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Thank you Gary Neal <3

[Johnny RIngo]

We should make a run now with Griffin in the bench

Not with Bonner in the game.

[Budkin]

Neal!

[DPG21920]

Great defense from Tiago.

[siraulo23]

good block by splitter

[austN Spur]

chooo choooo

[DesignatedT]

gary neal is fucking awesome. love that guy

[Ice009]

Thanks for the choke job Matt Bonner and thanks for keep on playing him Pop.

WE WILL NOT WIN SHIT WITH BONNER.

Thanks again Pop. U are awesome.

[DPG21920]

No fluke score here. K. Thanks.

[ElNono]

Just have Neal 'spacing the floor'...

[lefty]

Saved by the bell

[CFH]

Down by 5 going into the 4th, Spurs can do this

[Spurologist]

+3 in the 3rd quarter......still within striking distance

[DPG21920]

All things considered, not too bad. This has been the most frustrating game of the year imo. Just come out focused. One solid quarter erases the previous three. Just win.

[DesignatedT]

5 pt game going into 4th. we can get this.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Do you guys think Duncan is done for the night?

[Pauleta14]

Do you think Pop's gonna give another try with Tony tonight?

Manu and Hill are going to run out of gas...

[Dexter..]

Bonner falling off again? Not surprising..

[itzsoweezee]

Popovich, sit Bonner down and give the Spurs a chance to win this game.

[Nathan89]

Missing Eva's fajitas!

Is that what you call it.:rollin

[DPG21920]

Quad City coming up huge right now.

[DesignatedT]

would like to eventually go back to duncan/dice to close this game.

[lefty]

How the hell are we only down by 5

[ElNono]

Down 5 but feels like we're down double digits... They look like they want it more, and even then it doesn't look like they want it much at all

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Within 5, it's manu time :D

[NASpurs]

All things considered, not too bad. This has been the most frustrating game of the year imo. Just come out focused. One solid quarter erases the previous three. Just win.

T' Wolves say hi.

[HarlemHeat37]

Splitter's offense has been shaky, but he has clearly made a difference on D..hopefully he plays more in the 4th, keep him in rhythm..those shots will fall..

Bonner has been shaky on both ends..his confidence is shattered right now..he needs to make an important shot to get it back IMO..

Duncan and Parker need to wake up in the 4th, and Manu needs to take over in the clutch, like he always does..

[GSH]

I want to see Manu just go wild in the last 15 minutes.

[Nathan89]

Do you guys think Duncan is done for the night?

Nope. He will play again.

[awktalk]

Tiago looks like a boy amongst men out there. He has no post game, no jumper, and can't guard 4s. Why does everyone love him again?

[Libri]

Bonner needs to go to the D-League

Why punish the Toros. :lol

[BanditHiro]

bonner needs a good 10 game benching to renergize himself

[maddnezz]

We still gonna win, just like last time.............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ...................TRUST ME!:pimpslap

[jestersmash]

Do you guys think Duncan is done for the night?

Are you joking me?

Why the hell would he be done for the night?

I'll bet you $1000000000 that we'll see Duncan in the 4th. It makes no sense to willingly give up a totally winnable game like this.

[TampaDude]

Heh...just when I say we can't buy a 3, Neal hits one.

Spurs are still in this game. Just gotta get some stops and hope Butler keeps missing from the arc.

[DAF86]

I want to see Tony to begin the 4th.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

God dammit why is it so easy to hate bonner? Why do people hate on him?

Maybe because he can't find any medium of consistency. He's either 5-5 threes or dead fucking cold and shooting us in the face.

[Spurologist]

Do you think Pop's gonna give another try with Tony tonight?

Manu and Hill are going to run out of gas...

I think so.....I think he'll start the 4th to give Hill a breather. One more mistake and I think he'll be done for the night

[Crookshanks]

I wish you people would just shut up about Bonner. He's leading the league in 3 pt %. He has his weaknesses, but he's not as bad as you guys make him out to be. And Splitter hasn't just torn up the court tonight - he fouls waaay too much. So just be quiet and watch the game.

[LeCrab]

told you harlem just get neal the ball..... he can run the point he makes some good passes

[007nites]

Is Duncan playing in the 4th?

[Capt Bringdown]

I reckon Splitter would grow into a much better player with a consistent role/minutes on this team.
Loved his energy in the minutes he got tonight.

[janetcn12]

Pop, let TP rest tonight

[Nathan89]

Hill,Neal,Manu,Dice,Splitter

The lineup I would start the 4th with.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Why punish the Toros. :lol

:lol

[GSH]

All things considered, not too bad. This has been the most frustrating game of the year imo. Just come out focused. One solid quarter erases the previous three. Just win.

I don't know. The Dallas game that they slept through was pretty frustrating. The first 3 quarters against Minnesota were maddening.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Cool and 1 :(

[Death In June]

Nice Bonner.

[CFH]

Well that sucks

[DesignatedT]

wow bonner. terrible start.

[ace3g]

way to go bonner, lol

[siraulo23]

yes bonner
