Game Blog: Spurs @ Clippers - Dec. 1

[TIMMYD!]

Another and-1 to start the quarter. And guess who the foul is on? The redhead of course.

[Chomag]

Bonner starting the 4th? Why?

[NASpurs]

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.

His defense sucks and when he's not making threes, he's worthless just like when he gave up that and 1 right now.

[ElNono]

Bonner and1... Reenergizing the Clips :lol

[lefty]

Faaaaaaaaaaak



Bonner again :lmao

[Johnny RIngo]

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.

His shitty defense doesn't help.

[ace3g]

get Bonner out of the game

[hitmanyr2k]

I'm starting to think Bonner has dirt on Popovich. I just can't believe Popovich could be this stupid to play Scalabrine's clone this many minutes.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bonner fucking it up :D

[DPG21920]

Bonner is such a dip shit.

[bless1187]

C'mon Dawg, how much does this red head suck!!!

[TIMMYD!]

Bonner is just fucking up everything for us. Get him the fuck out of the game Pop. Fucking do it!!!!!!!!!!

[GrandeDavid]

This is playoff bonner we are witnessing

[GSH]

That's the worst call I've seen this year. Bullshit!

[Obstructed_View]

That was really bad. :lol

[CFH]

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

[Spurologist]

Bonner has been worthless........

[GSH]

Bonner didn't do anything wrong there. That's absolute bullshit.

[LeCrab]

this female ref is horrible she needs to go back to wnba

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol what?

[GrandeDavid]

Worst officiating I've ever seen. That chick and the grey head are atrociously incompetent

[DPG21920]

Bonner. I hate you.

[NASpurs]

Manu with the tip in!

[HarlemHeat37]

Get Bonner out of the fucking game..it's the only chance to win this game..

[lefty]

Ginooooooooooooooooooooooo





Bailing Bonner out :lmao

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Bonner is literally getting worse and worse by the minute.

[007nites]

Ok bench bonner now.

[CFH]

Fuck you Bonner! Thank you Manu for tipping that in

[siraulo23]

bonner :(

[TIMMYD!]

Yet another miss by the Red Rocket. 0 of 5.

[ElNono]

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.

Well, you're not gonna get your wish since he fucking sucks. Now shut up and go make me a sandwich.

[Spurologist]

Bonner misses another wide open 3....maun tip IN!

[Obstructed_View]

nice tip.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bonner sucks balls, Manu bails him out

[Juanobili]

Bonner with a chance to shut everyone up. Fail.

[ace3g]

Manu saves the day with that tip in

[Refocus]

Can bonner sit down yet?

[DPG21920]

:lmao, you literally cannot get more wide open. Spurs just need to start ignoring Bonner themselves.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bonner you mother f^$(&#(&^(ker

[NASpurs]

That guy with the tits with the whistle is horrible.

[hitmanyr2k]

:lol @ the Clipper commentators. "Bonner can't miss another one can he? ...Yes he can".

[Johnny RIngo]

Everytime it feels like we're chipping away at the lead, Bonner has to fuck it all up with a dumb foul or bricked three.

[AussieFanKurt]

Bonners been key this game..

[Technique]

"He can't miss another one can he? Oh he did."
:lol

[CFH]

Defense please play defense

[Spurminator]

I have no problem with playing Bonner but he doesn't suddenly start hitting after missing 5 in a row, and if he's being left wide open and still not hitting threes, he's useless. Sit him down and try again next game.

[ShoogarBear]

Another nice bit of wide-open floor spreading by the Rocket.

[Arc]

we just can't hit shit tonight..

[lefty]

Choo choooooooooooooo

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Gary Neal!!!!!

[NASpurs]

Chooo choooooooooooooo

[DPG21920]

Gary Neal is playing some ball. Get it to him.

[TIMMYD!]

If we lose, this game is on Pop 100%.

[HarlemHeat37]

Neal owns the Clippers:lol..

[siraulo23]

neal money on the floater

[CFH]

Neal floater, now defense dammit!

[Libri]

Wow, nice shot by Neal.

[Spurologist]

Neal/Manu keeping us in it

[GrandeDavid]

Pop, here's an idea. Play bonner 36 minutes and encourage him to jack bricks

[peskypesky]

sorry, Clippers. Spurs will take this.

[DPG21920]

Travel for sure. Good defense there.

Come on guys. Just one good burst.

[austN Spur]

traveling

here we go. lets go spurs!

[itzsoweezee]

Fuck you Popovich.

[lefty]

Manealla




See what I did ? :D

[peskypesky]

6pt game. no sweat.

[CFH]

Clippers have 10 more TO yet they're leading...

[GSH]

I guess I don't understand what's a foul and what isn't anymore. That crap they called on Bonner, then Neal doesn't get the and-1 on the other end. I'm confused.

[DPG21920]

Tim is just so bad tonight. Really unfortunate.

[Spurologist]

Bonner's Brick House is almost complete

[lefty]

Duncan with the left hook ?????????





Great timing

[AussieFanKurt]

cmon timmeh

[CFH]

Gotta capitalize guys...

[TIMMYD!]

Too bad we can't capitalize on their mistakes. :bang

[peskypesky]

cut it to 4

[BanditHiro]

this is beyond crazy pop how is bonner playing so many fucking minutes

[ohmwrecker]

This games feels like it's 5 hours long.

[DPG21920]

Good board by Bon Bon.

[austN Spur]

dammit we cant get back to back baskets

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Make a shot you bitches

[NASpurs]

Horrible offense, where's Manu with the ball?

[janetcn12]

Come on spurs, 6 more to go

[ElNono]

Here comes Griffin

[DPG21920]

Offensive foul?

Tim getting pwnd by the Rhino.

[peskypesky]

these refs suck cock

[timtonymanu]

Goddamn just missing every shot now.

[siraulo23]

yes bonner

[lefty]

Game over









But hey, Lakers lost again :lmao

[TIMMYD!]

The game has been at around 6 or 8 points for the whole second half...

[TampaDude]

Spurs look tired out there.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs down 8, feels more like 20.

[Crookshanks]

No one on the Spurs, except Manu and Neal, are doing very good tonight. Timmy and Tony have been horrible, and RJ and Blair haven't been much better. It's just a very bad shooting night, and they're not making up for up it on defense.

[DesignatedT]

by far the worst game bonner has played this season. just terrible tonight.

[CFH]

Spurs can only get the lead down to 6 then it goes right back up...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wow bonner nice no defense on smith, you the fucking man.

[Spurologist]

This is so fucking frustrating......Bonner's misses open fucking shots and he gives up open layups on defense

[FvckMavs]

Painful to watch Bonner's bricks

[LeCrab]

bonner is getting dusted out there smith is just balling on bonner

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wow down by 8..... Come on Spurs, don't waste this loss by the Lakers :lol

[Nathan89]

It wouldn't hurt so bad if I didn't have to watch Bonner.

[AussieFanKurt]

fucking hell, seriously losing to a 3-15 outfit?

[maddnezz]

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.
I know what ya mean look at that great d right there.....:rolleyes

[DesignatedT]

nobody looks good. Manu looks too fatigued to take this game over right now and that's what we have been accustomed to.

[Texas_Ranger]

We'll lose this one. Even their reserves are outplaying us.
It does suck that's the Clippers. But I get it cause Bonner played that much and Parker sucks ass.

[Spurologist]

Pop should give tp some burn and maybe think about giving Bonner a rest

[DAF86]

Where the fuck is McDyess? And Tony? WTF Pop?

[lefty]

Quick grades

Bonner Z -

[Cant_Be_Faded]

This is Bonner's worst game of the season by FAR.

Parker is not far behind.

Neither is Duncan.

[ElNono]

Is Pop getting ready to pull the white flag?

[Cessation]

bonner 0-6 from 3 why is he in there?
pop wants to lose tonight

[Death In June]

Bonner # 2 in minutes, behind Manu.

[DPG21920]

This is the Spurs from last season poking their little heads out. Where is RJ? He was scoring and playing well?

Why is Pop so shitty tonight?

There are answers we will never have.

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs need to go away from Duncan, he doesn't have it tonight, just let him be a finisher..Manu and Tony need to be in, and they need to be penetrating every time down..

Bonner needs to be subbed out immediately, obviously..

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs hitting 37% from the floor.

[GSH]

When was the last time we just had 72 points this late in a game? We're right on pace for a 90 point game.

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao

Pretty much the entire team sucks tonight but you come into the game blog and all you read is Bonner Bonner Bonner. Its amazing how quick people are to hate on him.

The whole team has sucked tonight. Except maybe Neal.

[SpursDynasty85]

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.


I don't understand the last comment. Your talking to Spurs fans. We never sit quiet and watch the game...

[lefty]

79-3

[NASpurs]

I like this lineup

[ElNono]

Tony was a no show, period

[BanditHiro]

We'll lose this one. Even their reserves are outplaying us.
It does suck that's the Clippers. But I get it cause Bonner played that much and Parker sucks ass.

and it isn't even because they played great we just played so fucking bad. two or three spurs came to play the other have just been lost out of position or tired. it is really annoying

[austN Spur]

Defense!!!

[siraulo23]

dice way off

[Chomag]

Ya I don't think we are goign to see any more heroics from Manu this game. He looks dog tiered from having to keep this team on his back. Somone else is going to have to step up.

[TIMMYD!]

McDyess way off on that shot.

[CFH]

Yeesh...

[GSH]

This is the Spurs from last season poking their little heads out. Where is RJ? He was scoring and playing well?

Why is Pop so shitty tonight?

There are answers we will never have.

Yeah, this is definitely last year's RJ. Where is the guy that practiced all summer?

[DesignatedT]

something funny going on with tony.

[HarlemHeat37]

I guess Parker is injured?..

[lefty]

Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice


A little more on the left, next time

[peskypesky]

McDyess will shut Blake down

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wow Dice.... WOW

[AussieFanKurt]

fuck christ

[Crookshanks]

I know what ya mean look at that great d right there.....:rolleyes

Yeah - and everyone else is just playing such stellar defense tonight huh? I'm not saying Bonner is great, but it just gets old reading page after page after page of "I hate Bonner" and "Bonner sucks".

Find something else to talk about...

[peskypesky]

5pt game

[NASpurs]

Hill for threeeeeeeee

[Technique]

Amazing pass by Manu

[Juanobili]

Hill!!!

[DPG21920]

Big time 3 from everyone but Bonner.

[siraulo23]

g hill money ball

[CFH]

Hill 3! DEFENSE

[Refocus]

heyyy we finally made a wipe open shot.

[ElNono]

Hill!

[Spurologist]

Hiiiiiiilllllll 33333333333333

[lefty]

lolwut

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

George Hill for 3333333333333333

[austN Spur]

Defense!!! Defense

[ElNono]

BS call

[DPG21920]

Spurs need some damn stops. Have to rebound.

[GSH]

Oh shit, McDyess looked at Bledsoe.

[AussieFanKurt]

thassit hilly

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck you Eric Gordon

[ohmwrecker]

Pops rotations have totally sucked ass for the whole game.

[peskypesky]

offensive board for Dice

[DPG21920]

Damn, Gordon playing very solid all around. Tim is doing nothing on either end. But hopefully he comes through when it matters.

[TIMMYD!]

7 minutes to go. 7 down.

[NASpurs]

Manu going out the game is the death blow I think.

[Capt Bringdown]

Layup drill for the clips tonight.

[Crookshanks]

This officiating seems really weird tonight. I'm not able to watch the game, so I'm listening to Bill Schoening and there have been several whistles where he wasn't sure what the call was going to be.

[peskypesky]

take it to the hoop!

[DPG21920]

Good board RJ. Get a score.

[AussieFanKurt]

:/ ....

[siraulo23]

damn it

cmon spurs

[lefty]

Hill!!!

The addition of Quinn and Ime's faces in your sig makes mie lol

[CFH]

To...

[DPG21920]

Tim, that was so bad.

[peskypesky]

plenty of time

[Spurologist]

Fuck this game

[Death In June]

Duncan playing his worst game of the season.

[007nites]

Duncan has got to take a shot. Too passive.

[itzsoweezee]

:lmao

Pretty much the entire team sucks tonight but you come into the game blog and all you read is Bonner Bonner Bonner. Its amazing how quick people are to hate on him.

The whole team has sucked tonight. Except maybe Neal.


Bonner has been, by far, the worst player on the court tonight. The Clips went on a big run while Bonner was in the game. It's not a coincidence that he has the worst +/- tonight.

[TIMMYD!]

It's gonna be really funny if we end up losing by 6 or 8.

[DPG21920]

RJ doing work on the glass.

[lefty]

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak

[GSH]

I thought we all agreed that RJ was going to make it a Big 4 this year. WTF happened to that guy?

[siraulo23]

fuck cant make shit now

[Texas_Ranger]

Fuck this threes!

[Spurminator]

Neal's gone cold.

[CFH]

3's just ain't going in

[Crookshanks]

Spurs just can't get it below 5 - they get a basket, but can't get stops on the other end. This game sucks!

[TIMMYD!]

Brick.

Brick.

Brick.

Brick.

[DPG21920]

Spurs need a shot to fall.

[lefty]

plenty of time
It's only December

[Spursmania]

Wow-we're stinking it up tonight.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

no fight tonight

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs 36%
Clippers 51%

We deserve to lose this one with that kind of shooting disparity. Surprised we're still in the game actually.

[Chomag]

Just to many players playing bad for the Spurs to pull ou t awin tonight I think.

[Obstructed_View]

Hey, let's shoot seventy five threes. Down seven, is there a seven point shot?

[timtonymanu]

Ugh it seems like no one gives a shit tonight.

Oh well Clippers finally break the streak.

[024]

spurs can't make a run to close the gap and time is running out.

[boutons_deux]

Tony sick?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wow, can't hit a shot. Manu or Tony need to be in the game. We have had three oportunities to score and the best we can get is forced shots by neal

[DesignatedT]

offense just bad when tony or manu isn't on the floor.

[DPG21920]

I thought we all agreed that RJ was going to make it a Big 4 this year. WTF happened to that guy?

RJ hasn't been the problem tonight. He has played decent.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Well guys, the team was going to cool down sooner or later.

This is our 3rd bad game in the last 4.

We can't even use our starting point guard to close out close games because he's in such a funk.

[DAF86]

Tony has to be injured. If not, this is a stupid move by Pop.

[BanditHiro]

fuck cant make shit now

we haven't been able to make shit all game that is why we only have 75 points against a crappy defensive team

[mando6599]

where's parker? really?

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs are just launching stupid shots now..the game isn't over, but they're playing like it is..

Even if the Spurs somehow find a way to win, they don't deserve it at all..

[GSH]

Bonner has been, by far, the worst player on the court tonight. The Clips went on a big run while Bonner was in the game. It's not a coincidence that he has the worst +/- tonight.

Ime put the goocher on the only run we had this game.

[AussieFanKurt]

thats game

[TIMMYD!]

Spurs just can't get it below 5 - they get a basket, but can't get stops on the other end. This game sucks!

Playing Bonner for so long basically fucked it up for us.

[Spursmania]

Where's Parker?

[Spurologist]

Spurs have a back to back complex

[TampaDude]

This is, without a doubt, the worst the Spurs have played so far this season.

There's just no way they're gonna win without the 3.

[peskypesky]

we'll win. don't worry, peeps. Tony's rested. he'll come in and tear the Clips up.

[timtonymanu]

I hate how this team constantly relies on 3's to get points.

Just drive to the hoop and draw the foul.

[austN Spur]

damm. Ugly. well it shows a lot 2 play this bad and still have a chance to win. just one of those nights. cant win them all.

(unless the spurs get back to back stops after this timeout we still have a chance)

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

the spurs look confused out there

[Fpoonsie]

Why do they keep going to Timmy down low, and post him up?! It hasn't worked at ALL this fucking game...

[Chomag]

Spurs need a shot to fall.

Maybe they should try driving it in.

[Trainwreck2100]

pops called it or something

[45 bank shot]

Anybody has any update on tony?

[NASpurs]

With Tony Parker sucking for one reason or another, Manu is the only playmaker out there. I know he can't play the whole game but him being out is going to make it difficult to win.

[TIMMYD!]

Where's Parker?

I assume he's hurt. There goes the health of our Big 3.

[lefty]

Where's Parker?
Hiding in Ducks' ass

[MannyIsGod]

This officiating seems really weird tonight. I'm not able to watch the game, so I'm listening to Bill Schoening and there have been several whistles where he wasn't sure what the call was going to be.

:Lmao

You're not watching the game but you say the officiating is weird?

[tvdij]

What's up with Tony? He has been mostly a non-factor tonight, and in decline in general. We only have one go-to player with him and Tim having poor offensive games today.

[NASpurs]

Manu back in. Thank God.

[DPG21920]

This one is on Pop. He dug the team into an early hole with his shit rotations and he stuck too long with things that were not working.

[tim_duncan_fan]

If Duncan wasn't doing his idiot act we might actually be winning.

Every freaking year, he goes through this "Timid Duncan" phase in which he misses easy ass shots and sometimes just stops shooting.

It's ridiculous.

Let's go, man!

[Crookshanks]

Playing Bonner for so long basically fucked it up for us.

Nah - pretty much everyone has taken a big dump tonight. Tony is MIA and Timmy is dragging and Manu seems gassed.

[BanditHiro]

Why do they keep going to Timmy down low, and post him up?! It hasn't worked at ALL this fucking game...

what has worked? this is the worst offensive night we have had this year

[VBM]

Can't win em all...just doesn't look like our night

[Spurologist]

36% FG hardly wins you games

[ElNono]

:lmao

Pretty much the entire team sucks tonight but you come into the game blog and all you read is Bonner Bonner Bonner. Its amazing how quick people are to hate on him.

The whole team has sucked tonight. Except maybe Neal.

He's consistently bad, Manny. And he gets rewarded with minutes. Tony sucked as much or more today, and you could say the same for Splitter. Yet, they were glued to the bench for most of the game, while Ginger gets rewarded.

[siraulo23]

yes bonner on griffin

[maddnezz]

Why dont we give the Clipper's the pork chop when they reach around like that? Coach Vinny told them to get physical, lets show em what that really means!:ihit

[Ice009]

Serious question. Is Bonner the worst open shooter in the NBA that shoots a high percentage on 3s? Out of the top 5 shooters in the NBA Bonner seems to miss more wide open ones than anyone.

[CFH]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[Capt Bringdown]

A wasted game. Even off of back-to-back, you should be able to beat a 3 win team FFS.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bonner..........

[lefty]

Bonner on Griffin ?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

and Pop puts Bonner back in :lol

Amazing.

[Pauleta14]

Tony sick?


No, Pop is sick of Tony...

[Fpoonsie]

Thank FUCK. Bonner's back in...

[TIMMYD!]

I'm going to sleep. This game is boring me to death.

[DPG21920]

:lmao F*ck Pop. Bonner back in.

[Spurminator]

Pop's testing the offense without Tony since he's on the trading block.

[austN Spur]

wow duncan got tackled and nothing. foul on spurs

[Chomag]

Wait,,, Bonner back on the floor. Seriously? What has he done so well?

[MannyIsGod]

7 minutes left. Spurs just need to hit some shots. If you can't make wide open shots you lose in the NBA. No big deal - these games will happen throughout the years.

[lefty]

BOnner will eventuelly foul Griffin hard

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Manu back in. Thank God.

so is bonner. Oh my god.

[rayray2k8]

Why the fuck is Bonner back in??? Spurs are done. :pctoss

[Arc]

bonner is back in the game, yes!

i guess pop is conceding.

[Crookshanks]

:Lmao

You're not watching the game but you say the officiating is weird?

I said I'm listening and I'm hearing the whistles and then Bill Schoening says he doesn't know what the whistle was for. And that's happened several times.

[DesignatedT]

hack a jordan

[MannyIsGod]

This one is on Pop. He dug the team into an early hole with his shit rotations and he stuck too long with things that were not working.

Yeah no. No one has hit shots. Thats not on Pop.

[DPG21920]

TP does not look happy.

[Johnny RIngo]

Bonner back in so it looks like the Clips have this.
