Game Blog: Wolves @ Spurs - Dec. 3

[CFH]

And there goes Pop

[duncan228]

Pop gone.

[TampaDude]

Pop got tossed!

[ShoogarBear]

Ya think maybe that was planned?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh pop...

[ace3g]

Pop just got himself ejected

[Killakobe81]

I would a made it a no-call ...but it was offensive IFyou HAVE to make a call ...

[Fireball]

that 3 was a killer and Pop is ejected

[Creation88]

this is a fucking bullshit effort against a shitty team

[DJ Mbenga]

wow was this really needed to inspire a vet team?

[HarlemHeat37]

The Spurs defense is so pathetic, it's really sad..

The Spurs double Love on the baseline, he has absolutely nowhere to go, great double team, yet somehow, the Spurs somehow leave a shooter completely wide open and allow the pass to get to him..

[CFH]

Time for some Coach Bud magic :hat

[DesignatedT]

pop trying to fire these guys up lol

[timtonymanu]

I'm so angry with this team's effort.

Great Pop ejected. This game is a loss now.

[ShoogarBear]

Now Corey Brewer is shooting them out of the building. :lmao

[Refocus]

Getting torched.

[Cessation]

meltdown

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

damn...

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs have been manhandled 2 games in a row by 2 of the worst teams in the league.
Our 15-3 record was clearly fool's gold.

[CFH]

Pathetic

[Creation88]

drive the FUCKING ball Hill. WTF are you thinking

[blkroadrunners]

WTF Hill

[45 bank shot]

I blame this one on Udoka lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Fuck this team

[ChumpDumper]

Pop and Bonner out. Spurs should have had a 10-0 run there.

[angelbelow]

Damn such solid D on that possession.. bailed out by that 3..

[timtonymanu]

LMAO Spurs. Contender my ass.

[loveforthegame]

How sad. We're getting manhandled by another scrub team.

[Spurs Brazil]

This is a fucking joke

PATHETIC 3rd quarter, by far the worst of the season

[quentin_compson]

Oh boy George ...

[it's me]

wow.... just fucking wow....

[timtonymanu]

Hill use your fuckin head,

[DesignatedT]

pop was definitely trying to get ejected there.

[angelbelow]

Pop and Bonner out. Spurs should have had a 10-0 run there.

Actually Bonner is the one that caused Pop to snap so Bonner is still in there to cause the downfall of the spurs.

[TampaDude]

Spurs have been manhandled 2 games in a row by 2 of the worst teams in the league.
Our 15-3 record was clearly fool's gold.

Yup...gonna be 7th or 8th seed come playoff time, book it.

[migol]

like i wonder what kinds of things pop tells the spurs in time outs? does he not look at the players in the eye and tell them what the fuck are you doing? did you forget how to play basketball all of a sudden? did you forget that that ball goes inside the basket? did you forget that you're supposed to grab the ball when the other team misses? are we on the same page here? i mean, what else is he going to say in a 2 minute timeout? grab the ball? defend? make the basket? stop being a pussy? seriously, what else can he say? if i were him, i'd call the time out and just look at them and be like, "everything that should be said, has been said repeatedly in practice and for the last decade that we've been a team. play."

this is not the championship team i thought.... this is aggravating me deeply. you can say it's early, but come on.... the 2nd loss coming to the 2nd worst team in the league.... in a row..... somebody dare try to justify this???

[Russ]

This team is soooo dependent upon Manu.

But more often than not, that works out fine.

[ohmwrecker]

I didn't think this team could play worse than they did in L.A. I was wrong.

[FilSpursFan]

What the shit is happening?

[Creation88]

have we forgotten how to score in the paint all together? WTF kinda basketball is this?

[timtonymanu]

I wish nothing but failure for the T-Wolves. I'm really hating their team right now.

[SplitterHook]

wtf pop did?

great d and then the open guy hit a 3, you gotta live with that...

Looks like he wants to lose...

[angelbelow]

Damn it Geogrie...

[Killakobe81]

there did appear to be a travel ...but a foul could of been called too ...

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Fuck this. Good thing we won alot of games early so we could blow games to shitty teams.


Where the fuck is Parker's head, there is no doubt now that this Eva thing is affecting him.

[DJ Mbenga]

sean Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Lu ck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_ after the commercial "wow. this is disgusting" thank you adthe stream.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Fuck this. Good thing we won alot of games early so we could blow games to shitty teams.


Where the fuck is Parker's head, there is no doubt now that this Eva thing is affecting him.

[Seventyniner]

I think the Spurs aren't as good as the 15-2 start would suggest, but not as bad as they look tonight and on Wednesday.

[TampaDude]

If, as I expect them to, the Spurs lose this game, I'm not watching them again until after the ASB.

[Borosai]

At least these game threads are still good for one thing: comedy.

[Fireball]

this winning streak gave them more confidence than I thought ... now we lose some games and everything is back to normal i.e. we are not contenders

[siraulo23]

disappointing, it is what it is

next game

[timtonymanu]

It's funny cause I thought Pop actually got ejected when Coach Bud was interviewed before the 3rd. Guess it actually did happen. :pctoss

[ShoogarBear]

47-24 rebounding edge. :lol

[CFH]

Dice J

[angelbelow]

47-24 rebounding edge. :lol

Wow... 47 rebounds by the 3rd quarter?

[timtonymanu]

Live and die by the 3.

[ShoogarBear]

Beasley needs to go on a brick run.

[Quiet Strength]

47-24 rebounding edge. :lol

For real.. that's horrible. Twolves working way harder than the spurs.

[Killakobe81]

LOL the spurs announcers are still broadcasting (talking) my feed never went to commercial at end of the half what homers ... they sound like fans ...:lmao

Dont worry Spurs will STILL win ...

[DJ Mbenga]

opening for spurs. beasley is hurt

[siraulo23]

47-24 rebounding edge. :lol

wow that's disgusting

[CFH]

Can't rebound

[DJ Mbenga]

LOL the spurs announcers are still broadcastng at end of the half what homers they sound like fans ...:lmao

Dont worry Spurs will STILL win ...

lol i thought i was the only one who had heard that. ellliot "we had it"

[Fireball]

Beasley is out

[tim_duncan_fan]

15-4.

Something's got to change. This record is a lie.

We need to attack more and stop trying to be the Suns with all these ridiculous jumpshots early in the clock.

We need to stop using Bonner and Udoka.

We need to start playing Tim and Tiago Softie together just to see if a big lineup can help with the rebounding.

George Hill needs to be in attack mode at all times.

The guys need to wake up and rebound. Sometimes it's like they are just sitting around looking at the floor.

Other thoughts/ways to improve?

[iminol]

http://rpgdigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/its-a-trap1.jpg

[Russ]

Oooops, 48-26 rebounding deficit. :wow:wow

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair is PATHETIC and Tiago is on the bench

[CFH]

Fouls everywhere

[Killakobe81]

lol i thought i was the only one who had heard that. ellliot "we had it"

I heard it "we had" other gyuy "that was DISGUSTING!!"

[angelbelow]

Aww spectacular block..

[tim_duncan_fan]

LOL @ taking out Beasley. Doesn't matter we're still going to lose. The Spurs are in stupid, girlie mode tonight.

[migol]

47-24 rebounding edge. :lol
what's with the stupid smiley face?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh manu manu..

[angelbelow]

I heard it "we had" other gyuy "that was DISGUSTING!!"

Lol I heard it as well.

[ChumpDumper]

I heard it "we had" other gyuy "that was DISGUSTING!!"Employees of the Spurs being pro-Spur?

Outrage!

[Budkin]

This is just fucking embarrassing.

[ducks]

why is manu on the court
he is tired
FUCK POP

[SplitterHook]

pop was definitely trying to get ejected there.
Indeed.

[Quiet Strength]

Spurs have life again

[CFH]

Chooo chooo for 3!

[Cessation]

at least spurs playing with some energy now

[timtonymanu]

We really do need Manu to win... even against shitty teams.

[duncan228]

Yes! They can do this.

[TampaDude]

Neal!!!!! More of that, please!!!!!

[DJ Mbenga]

the lakers dont play for the spurs for a couple of weeks but i can guarantee you the lakers will make a scrub like neal look like a hall of famer

[ShoogarBear]

what's with the stupid smiley face?

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:MKNuSwwKReIWAM:http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww208/tsikes_bucket/francis.jpg&t=1

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

need some stops and threes to drop

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal 333333333333333333333333

[angelbelow]

Blair, nice play, off. rebound and a foul.

[Cessation]

seriously, stop playing like sissies put some of these pups on the floor, gj on beasly there

[Chomag]

Spurs offence only seems to be about shooting the 3 pointer now.

[timtonymanu]

Put Tim and Tony back in.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Back to 9. We have a hope.

Please not another loss to a bad team.

[TampaDude]

Folks, what's happened is the 3s aren't falling like they were earlier. Live by the 3, die by the 3.

[tim_duncan_fan]

I think Gary Neal is Jesus. I'm almost positive.

[Creation88]

Spurs have NOT 1 shot in the paint this quarter. WTF

[tim_duncan_fan]

Spurs offence only seems to be about shooting the 3 pointer now.

This is true.

[ace3g]

hope Manu is ok, got side swiped there

[siraulo23]

fuck fuck noooo injury plz

[TampaDude]

That was retaliation.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

In other news, Darko is now a legit NBA starting centre. The kid always had the talent - strong, great post footwork, good timing for shotblocking - but it took him 7 years to mature and really start to use it!

[CFH]

Bonner 3 :lol

[Creation88]

now everyone will jump back on Bonner wagon. BS

[Refocus]

Showing signs of a comeback for sure..

[ace3g]

come on Bonner in , really???, could care less that he just hit that 3, this is when Splitter should get minutes to get experience

[TampaDude]

Red Rocket!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!

[spurspokesman]

Folks, what's happened is the 3s aren't falling like they were earlier. Live by the 3, die by the 3.
yup. And our frontcourt is the most unathletic in the league

[Cessation]

finally ginger hit a three this week

[ChumpDumper]

Bonner 3 :lolYou're obviously mistaken.

[DJ Mbenga]

taking full advantage of no beasley

[Killakobe81]

Gary Neal has such a sweet stroke ...

[CFH]

You're obviously mistaken.

I was laughing that he finally made one :downspin:

[bongraider]

were gonna win this game coz pop's out and bonner and udoka aint coming back in for sure

[ChumpDumper]

were gonna win this game coz pop's out and bonner and udoka aint coming back in for sureuh.

[ducks]

New York 100
New Orleans 92

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu with a terrible game today

[ohmwrecker]

Is it just me or does Milicic look like a slightly
Downsy version of Christian Bale?

[Killakobe81]

Twolves cant beat Spurs ESPECIALLY sans Beasley but doubt they would of held on regardless ...

Luke Ridnour pissed away the last game in one week he is supposed to have learned how to close a game out?

[siraulo23]

:tu fans in the arena

[angelbelow]

Nice DB and Bonner connection lol

[blkroadrunners]

Hill!!

[ace3g]

Hill and 1

[LeCrab]

Oh god here goes parker ball hogging

[ChumpDumper]

Great control after the foul by Hill.

[TampaDude]

Hill and 1!!!!

[CFH]

Hill AND 1!

[Pauleta14]

We need a hero...

[CFH]

In and out ffffffffffffffffff

[bongraider]

shoulda been in blue haaha

[migol]

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:MKNuSwwKReIWAM:http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww208/tsikes_bucket/francis.jpg&t=1i'd rather focus on why the spurs cannot rebound. thanks.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh fuck that three..

[Creation88]

shoot the fucking ball hill!

[ace3g]

can't hesitate like that

[ShoogarBear]

"Oh, why didn't that toilet flush?" lmao

[DJ Mbenga]

any updates on beasley?

[tim_duncan_fan]

New York 100
New Orleans 92

We and New Orleans are showing our true colors.


We have GOT to get out of this no defense/all jumpshots mode.

I want to get out of it NOW!

[TampaDude]

Damn...can't get those 3s to fall.

[quentin_compson]

Boy, this is one rollercoaster ride.

[tim_duncan_fan]

This team loves the three too much. I miss the old days.

[angelbelow]

Nice Hill!

[Refocus]

Has every fast break been butchered? :/

[Pauleta14]

Tony should have pass to RJ !!!!!!!!!!!

[ace3g]

if shots like that are going to fall for Rid, we have no shot

[angelbelow]

Hmm.. tough when Duncan goes to help like that.

[FilSpursFan]

What's the score?

[TampaDude]

Spurs are sniffing that pussy, but the bitch won't let 'em fuck.

[LeCrab]

Would much rather see neal take that shot than jefferson

[Chomag]

Spurs are the superior team here right? Why the Hell are they having to be the ones playing frantic. They need to man up!

[Spurs Brazil]

damn, bunch of missed chances

that fast break was TERIBLE

[timtonymanu]

we just cant trim it any more.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Missing wide open 3s is not pretty.

[quentin_compson]

There are just too many things going wrong right now.

[DesignatedT]

if they played with this type of energy all game it would be a blowout.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

This is the low point of the season.

[Creation88]

Spurs shooting 37% in 4th. no way to come back with that %

[Fireball]

Spurs are sniffing that pussy, but the bitch won't let 'em fuck.

ugh :lol

[45 bank shot]

This is the low point of the season.
not yet

[timtonymanu]

Once again this scrub team is giving us opportunities but we cant take advantage. Has our team cooled off on their shooting already?

[ohmwrecker]

Spurs are sniffing that pussy, but the bitch won't let 'em fuck.

What a brilliant analogy . . .

[007nites]

Timmy needs a 3 i'm telling yall

[Pauleta14]

There was a perfect fastbreak with RJ way ahead and Tony pass it to Hill who gets trapped...

[ShoogarBear]

This is the low point of the season.

Beating the record set last game.

[Chomag]

Spurs need to work on other things the just relying on the 3 pointer. IT will when you some when hot but when cold and you keep trying to shoot them you just shoot yourself in the foot.

[CFH]

Timmy!

[spurspokesman]

It's simple. We dont hit threes, we dont win. We have a shot but if this team wants to win a ship, getting otrebounded by 20+ aint gonna cut it. OUR FRONTCOURT IS LAUGHABLE

[CFH]

Manu to the line

[Capt Bringdown]

Getting thoroughly outplayed by a 4-14 team, who look like they're head and shoulders a better team.

[DJ Mbenga]

i cant beleive im typing this. the wolves miss darko

[ace3g]

big FT from Manu

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

small ball to the rescue? is it gonna work this time?

[tim_duncan_fan]

However this game ends up, I hope the Spurs understand that the reliance on the 3 is only going to get us killed.

Steve Nash and the Suns have been trying it for 6 or 7 years now. It doesn't work.

We have 3 very good slashers and a declining but still good legendary big man.

We should lead the league in points in the paint.

We can't continue to rely on jumpers.

[CFH]

Fuckin' Ridnour

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Beasley looks gimpy. RJ should go at him.

[ace3g]

Hill !!!

[blkroadrunners]

T/O Twolves!

[Refocus]

Ballin'

[TampaDude]

Oh shit!!!!! Two-point game!!!!!

[CFH]

Alright Hill!

[Creation88]

great travel and no-call. thanks ref. good finish Hill

[Pauleta14]

Uipui!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Just keep the composure and take good shots, and the Spurs will win this..they don't deserve the W, but the best teams usually find a way to steal games from these shitty teams, so let's see if the Spurs fit that category..

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i am glad the crowd keep cheering the spurs on through the bad stretch :flag:

[DesignatedT]

3 guard lineup ftw

[007nites]

Timmy needs a 3 I'm telling yall.

[ducks]

please no overtime

[loveforthegame]

This team can be such a tease.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This is the kind of character this squad has shown all season that was so sorely lacking last year.

:flag:

[quentin_compson]

Wolves seem to run out of gas.

[pawe]

Cardiac Spurs!

[timtonymanu]

Hill!!!!

I'm so glad the good George Hill is back.

[Pauleta14]

If we win that one...... WOW!

[007nites]

Parker can get past Ridnour whenever he wants.

[IknowU]

Pop better be watching and learning some tips from the assisant coach ffs.

[Spurs Brazil]

What's killing us this game is not the 3s but the boards

[TampaDude]

We've attempted 22 3s so far tonight...wow...too bad we've only made 6 of them. :bang

[Fireball]

i am glad the crowd keep cheering the spurs on through the bad stretch :flag:

I also noticed this ... :tu

[Pauleta14]

please no overtime

Why not?

If we go to overtime, we can't lose...

[Creation88]

BS call

[tim_duncan_fan]

Hill needs to go to the rim just about every time he has the ball.

Hopefully he'll realize how good a finisher he can be.

They just have to drill it into his head.

[ChumpDumper]

Pop better be watching and learning some tips from the assisant coach ffs.Play Bonner, then go small?

[ohmwrecker]

Shitty call.

[spurspokesman]

Just keep the composure and take good shots, and the Spurs will win this..they don't deserve the W, but the best teams usually find a way to steal games from these shitty teams, so let's see if the Spurs fit that category..
well said. Sun shines on a dogs ass every now and then.

[CFH]

Damn, Beasley lost that one all by himself too

[ace3g]

Darko fouled out

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

gtfo now, thanks

[TampaDude]

Buh bye, Darko!!!!!

[CFH]

Darko fouls out

[007nites]

this seems like a repeat of the last game with minny

[Refocus]

What a random foul by Milicic lol.

[Fireball]

bye bye Darko

[Killakobe81]

I dont care if he hits a couople shots Luke is ass ...

[ace3g]

another steal, Hill going to the line

[CFH]

Beasley loses the ball A LOT :lol

[Creation88]

all starts with defense

[007nites]

crowd is pumped

[quentin_compson]

This is actually a night where you got to be glad Milicic fouled out ...

[cheney212]

George hill is back=]

[CFH]

Tie game!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

nice D, finish it !!!

[Libri]

Defense!!

[CFH]

Uhhhhhhhhh

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

scoreboard messed up

[007nites]

the clock stoppeed!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great defensive rotation!

[angelbelow]

Wow, big blunder..

[ace3g]

why do the Spurs always get the bad end of the clock errors

[ohmwrecker]

No foul?!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

WTF was that RJ jumper!? Go to the RACK!

[ChumpDumper]

lol timekeeper.

[quentin_compson]

Oh my, what's up with Tony passing up wide open shots?

[HarlemHeat37]

Manu and Parker are trying to lose this game, pretty much the opposite of what you usually see from them in clutch time:lol..Spurs need their closers to step up..

[DJ Mbenga]

impressive interior defense

[Creation88]

drive the damn ball and create contact!!

[angelbelow]

Can they review that and reduce the time remaining in the game?

[timtonymanu]

LMAO Bill: The clock stopped.

[TampaDude]

Tie is the best the Spurs will do...they will NOT retake the lead.

[Refocus]

Even with Manu 1-10 I'd still prefer him to have the ball in crunch time.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

TP was wide open for a layup and blew it..

[LeCrab]

parker with another bad shot... parker you don't always have to shoot that pass it

[007nites]

love is gassed lol. He is breathing hard.

[Spurs Brazil]

damn TP with 2 bad plays, the 1st one he had a layup and passed to RJ

[tim_duncan_fan]

I fucking love RJ.

I hate Parker.

[Capt Bringdown]

Terrible possession...
What's our offensive concept? Defensive concept?
We appear completely rudderless.

[DesignatedT]

high screen n roll with manu has to be the play every time down now.

[Libri]

Manu! Yes!!

[CFH]

Holding my breath every time Ridnour shoots

[timtonymanu]

Seriously. Drive the fucking ball in. Quit being pussies.
