[Libri]

Go Spurs Go!!

[Muser]

Let's hope we don't get dominated by Darko again.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

If we lose tonight, we lose the top seed.....for December.

[200 miles]

go spurs go, and yet a little ugh

[elec99]

This team not to be taken lightly. No one can stop Love, he can shoot from anywhere. Then Darko seems to have gotten a second life.

[Chomag]

Good bounce back game for the Spurs but still not a game to tale lightly. Expect Love and Darko to go hard out our front-line again especially if Love is being guarded by Bonner again.

[DesignatedT]

Need a good bounce back game. No way Love and Darko play the way they did in Minnesota, that was just unbelievable.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs will kill them; Spurs by 20

[timtonymanu]

Spurs just lost to a team that they were suppose to beat and they know not to take the TWolves lightly. Spurs will be focused and should win.

[DrSteffo]

2.30...ok lets see. I expect an easy win anyways.

[LeCrab]

Need a good bounce back game. No way Love and Darko play the way they did in Minnesota, that was just unbelievable.
matt bonner says hi.....

[DesignatedT]

matt bonner says hi.....

Well actually even Duncan was getting torn up by Darko and Love that game, along with Mcdyess, Splitter and Bonner who all played close to the same amount of minutes that game.

[Leonard Curse]

i bet pop now thinks it was splitters fault for the close call last game! in his delusional mind hell send our savior bonner to the rescue a career high 48minutes to give us top notch interior D haha

[Mugen]

i'd love to see splitter play tonight, but i'm a realist.

After Bonner hit that go ahead 3 the last game, i don't expect Tiago to get more than 5 mins. in the game.

Preemptive F U to Pop.

[024]

another young power forward eagerly looking to light up the spurs. love needs to be shut down.

[ShoogarBear]

If the Spurs lose tonight, Bukefal goes to the bench.

[janetcn12]

Go Spurs Go...win by 10

[angelbelow]

This is an easy win. Hope we blow them out by the 3rd and rest our starters.

[duncan228]

Spurs call on LP! :spin

[Fireball]

Go Spurs Go !!!

[DesignatedT]

go spurs go!

[LeCrab]

Gary Neal will go for 15

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs call on LP! :spin

:tu

[duncan228]

Glad to see you Spurs Brazil. Missed you for the Clippers game, though if you didn't see it that was probably for the best. :lol

[DesignatedT]

lol sean and land didn't know they were on the air.

[Pauleta14]

It will be interesting to see what the team and our bigs worked on since last game against the wolves. What kind of tactic Pop worked on.

No way we get eaten inside the same way...

[Spurs Brazil]

Glad to see you Spurs Brazil. Missed you for the Clippers game, though if you didn't see it that was probably for the best. :lol


Didn't see the last 2 live because it started 1:30AM here but I'm glad the next 6 are at home because with a 11:30PM start here I'm fine :)

[DesignatedT]

I'm saying
Spurs 108
Wolves 94

[CFH]

Timmy

[angelbelow]

I wanna see Parker have a bounce back game, shouldnt be too hard with Luke guarding him.

[LeCrab]

parker :bang you don't have to always take that blair was wide open

[CFH]

Wolves can't hold onto the ball :lol

[CFH]

Timmy block!

[ShoogarBear]

Tim has young legs tonight.

[angelbelow]

Thank goodness for Duncan lol

[CFH]

Oh Tony...

[FilSpursFan]

This time the Twolves will not make the same mistake again. Expect Love and Darko to be huge again...

[DesignatedT]

nice duncan. love just abuses blair.

[angelbelow]

Alittle too unselfish so far, from RJ there and Manu 2 plays ago.

[timtonymanu]

TP is so bad now.

[Refocus]

Parker not looking good so far. :/

[DesignatedT]

ahh tony. i dont think he was expecting the pass back from rj

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF Tony is doing???

WAKE UP

[ShoogarBear]

Serious overpassing right now.

[carina_gino20]

Nobody wants to shoot.

[DesignatedT]

good take rj

[angelbelow]

Lol these T-Pups cant hold onto the damn ball.

[SuperManu!!!]

Parker lost his confidence, manu is trying to pass the ball too much

[CFH]

Nice pass by Johnson :lol

[LeCrab]

Serious overpassing right now.
scared to shoot neal needs to get in the game

[DesignatedT]

well the defense looks good.

[Pauleta14]

I wanna see Parker have a bounce back game, shouldnt be too hard with Luke guarding him.


I think it has nothing to do with the match up...

He's just bad. Period.

[Chieflion]

Words can't describe how shitty Wes Johnson has been so far this game.

[timtonymanu]

Great are we gonna get fluky shooting again?

[DesignatedT]

scared to shoot neal needs to get in the game

lol i dont think anyone is scared to shoot during the 1st quarter against the wolves. just a matter of people being too unselfish.

[siraulo23]

milicic

[CFH]

Nice drive by RJ

[Fundamental]

damn RJ!

[timtonymanu]

am i reading this right? our team has zero rebounds right now.

[angelbelow]

am i reading this right? our team has zero rebounds right now.

Wow really? havent noticed.

[IknowU]

anyone have links? :(

[Spurs Brazil]

Not a good start.

Let's hope they play better after the timeout

[CFH]

Wolves have 10 rebounds so far, Spurs have none...

[CFH]

Timmy J

[TampaDude]

Timmay!!!

[Fireball]

in the middle of our winning streak I had the feeling we could not lose ... since the losses to Dallas and the Clippers I am getting moe nervous at games again ... tonight its the same

[bongraider]

shit. no stream on atdhe.net anyone know where to find a stream?

[siraulo23]

bonner to the rescue!

[timtonymanu]

Seriously Bonner can have only one leg and Pop still finds minutes for him.

[MAx_Eric]

if they lose again,i will stop watching Spurs for a while

[CFH]

Didn't get a rebound there either

[CFH]

Come on Georgie, hit your free throws

[Bulwark]

what's up with tony?

[ducks]

no rebounds for spurs

[CFH]

RJ block and 3!

[Spurs Brazil]

Wolves 11-0 on the boards

[TampaDude]

RJ for 3!!!!!

[siraulo23]

Rj trezzzzzzzz

[rjv]

spurs more energetic with parker on the bench

[Fireball]

thats the GH3 we need ... attack right from the start ...of course he misses a FT

[duncan228]

if they lose again,i will stop watching Spurs for a while

I don't understand this. Are you only a fan when they win?

[CFH]

Hill jumper, everyone too hesitant to shoot

[LeCrab]

This team is running so much smoother with hill at the pg

[siraulo23]

something out of nothing

[CFH]

First rebound of the game by Duncan!

[rjv]

more defensive intensity now

[Chieflion]

Darko being a defensive terror. We scared to attack the rim.

[ducks]

spurs might need to give tp 3 games off

[timtonymanu]

I don't understand this. Are you only a fan when they win?

just a stupid fan. win or lose i'm watching my team.

[carina_gino20]

Loving RJ, Timmy, and Hill's efforts right now. :)

[rjv]

have to wonder about parker lately-he has lost that early season agression. it's as if he and hill have swapped on court personalities

[Borosai]

Bonner crackin' skulls out there.

[timtonymanu]

This team is running so much smoother with hill at the pg

sad to say but its the case right now. Something is wrong with Tony.

[Penya]

Great effort by GH3 so far.

[td4mvp21]

I don't understand this. Are you only a fan when they win?

Fortunately for him, we've been winning a lot this season :lol



And :shootme @ Bonner being first big again. I. Don't. Understand.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD with a great start, his D on Darko is perfect

[TampaDude]

WTF is wrong with Parker? Did Eva take his balls with her?

[Pauleta14]

spurs more energetic with parker on the bench

or after a timeout?

[Bulwark]

sad to say but its the case right now. Something is wrong with Tony.

Definitely something up with Tony.

[rjv]

another stupid haggar commercial

[duncan228]

Yeah, nice to see Duncan with some life.

[timtonymanu]

Duncan is playing much better this game than he did in Minnesota.

[Fireball]

First rebound of the game by Duncan!

:nope RJ had one before, didn't he?

[DesignatedT]

starting to get into a rhythm now. Tony really is starting to worry me.

[Dex]

Fortunately for him, we've been winning a lot this season :lol



And :shootme @ Bonner being first big again. I. Don't. Understand.

SpursTalk's Bonner Plan != Pop's Bonner Plan

[MAx_Eric]

I don't understand this. Are you only a fan when they win?

i can't stand for losing two straight games that they could win it very easily.

Of course i like Spurs and I have a high expectation on them this year
Big 3 is healthy and they have a good start,if they can't keep this advantage, i will be very disappointed

[TampaDude]

I'm still pissed about that Clips game. I hope the Spurs smash the Wolves tonight.

[ducks]

are rj and duncan the same person

[benefactor]

Spurs fan David West = z0sa?

[duncan228]

:lol The Coyote with a floatie on his tail too.

[Pauleta14]

Pop should either ask Tony to stay at home or give him more playing time to help him regain his confidence...

I don't get this coaching... Tony isn't a rookie!

[rjv]

telfair much improved

[rjv]

parker must have seen last week's okie state/OU game

[rjv]

TP -finally !

[Fundamental]

Defense!!!

[timtonymanu]

There we go Tony.

[CFH]

:nope RJ had one before, didn't he?

Just checked the boxscore, you're right :downspin:

[benefactor]

Brick

[rjv]

bonner in a mini-slump

[FilSpursFan]

parker!

[ace3g]

k, Bonner missed, bring in Splitter

[CFH]

There we go Tony!

[TampaDude]

TP and 1!!!

[ducks]

nice tp

[angelbelow]

Damn Bonner still struggling.. could really use his 3s tonight if we wanna put away the wolves quickly.

[rjv]

maybe that little benching sparked a little fire in tony

[timtonymanu]

Tony again!!! Hopefully he continues that.

[Pauleta14]

Here you go Tony...

[Bulwark]

that's the Parker I remember

[ducks]

better tp

[Refocus]

Maybe Tony remembered who he was again. :P

[ace3g]

k, Bonner missed, bring in Splitter

woo Splitter in.......but Bonner didn't go out.....

[DesignatedT]

tony lookin a lot more aggressive.

[timtonymanu]

Splitter!!!!








But it's for Tim :pctoss

[ducks]

hopefully that will get tp going

[TampaDude]

Splitter in...

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Tony!!!

[rjv]

terrible pass by bonner

[DesignatedT]

Splitter and Bonner gunna have to get the rebounds. love is a beast.

[Fireball]

Tony wakin up ... and Bonner actually does a nice job defensively on Love

[DesignatedT]

too easy splitter.

[ace3g]

wow, Bonner, don't just throw the pass inbounds that fast, jeez

[timtonymanu]

wtf Beasley having the game of his life.

LMAO inbounds

[siraulo23]

shitty stretch that was wow

[LeCrab]

For real bonner

[CFH]

Wtf

[rjv]

why is bonnner inbounding the ball ?!!!

[DesignatedT]

wow bonner. idiot

[timtonymanu]

TWolves are really starting to piss me off as a team. Fuckin hate them smiling.

[ace3g]

k, if that doesn't get Bonner in the doghouse, I don't know what will...

[InRareForm]

Get the fuck out bonner

[quentin_compson]

Tony could probably need a great game. And we could need on out of him as well.

[siraulo23]

wow another turnover

[Pauleta14]

Bonner i such an idiot...

[angelbelow]

What the heck

[timtonymanu]

Bonner once again responsible for that run.

[rjv]

nice agression by TP

[benefactor]

lmao Bonner

[ohmwrecker]

I'm going to be kind of pissed if TP doesn't have a big game tonight.

[Chieflion]

Can't even make simple inbound passes. Take Bonner out!

[rjv]

oh no!!!!

[LeCrab]

every time bonner is on the floor the other team goes off every game every year....

[FilSpursFan]

Take Bonner out

[HarlemHeat37]

Bonner with 2 consecutive turnovers on the inbounds, that just can't happen at the NBA level, inexcusable..yet Pop keeps him in the game, and brings Ime in to add insult to injury..

An NBA player can't fucking turn the ball over on TWO CONSECUTIVE INBOUNDS PLAYS to let the other team back in the game and give them the lead..that's just ridiculous..

[angelbelow]

Bonner is obviously playing with broken confidence right now...

[rjv]

bonner and udoka on the floor at the same time-what next, finley and bogans ????

[timtonymanu]

Fuck Beasley and his WNBA player look.

[Fireball]

I give Bonner some love ... and he immediately starts to suck

[td4mvp21]

Bonner has guarded Griffin and Love the past two games :lol

[Osnofa]

omg, BONNER wtf dude. Arrgg,those turnnovers!

[TampaDude]

Bonner with 2 consecutive turnovers on the inbounds, that just can't happen at the NBA level, inexcusable..yet Pop keeps him in the game, and brings Ime in to add insult to injury..

^ this

Bonner just doesn't have it right now.

[Cane]

Wtf was going on...did Tony Park sext Bonner's wife too or something?!

[carina_gino20]

well, that ending was crappy.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner with a crap 1st quarter.

[td4mvp21]

Bonner with 2 consecutive turnovers on the inbounds, that just can't happen at the NBA level, inexcusable..yet Pop keeps him in the game, and brings Ime in to add insult to injury..

Just to remind us that things can always be worse.

[CFH]

Please don't start the 2nd quarter with Ime and Bonner in at the same time

[Dex]

If this season is going to be lost to anything, it will be in Pop's overconfidence in Matt fucking Bonner.

[MAx_Eric]

Fuck Bonner!!!
Better trade him before February

[HarlemHeat37]

If Blair turned the ball over on 1 inbound play, let alone 2, he would be in the doghouse until the All-Star break..

[Capt Bringdown]

Bonner is a cancer.

[LeCrab]

eric b manny " it wasn't bonner's fault he thought Beasley was on the spurs"

[Supreme_Being]

To those who can't watch, PM me for the link. Cheers.

[Cessation]

bonner going full retard there

[siraulo23]

hopefully we'll play much better the rest of the game...

[rjv]

beasley having a lay up fest

[CFH]

Oh that was niceeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[ace3g]

nice pass from Splitter to Parker

[quentin_compson]

Didn't the Spurs have to double Jamison against the Cavs because Bonner was getting scored on like three or four possessions in a row?

[Fireball]

If Blair turned the ball over on 1 inbound play, let alone 2, he would be in the doghouse until the All-Star break..

... and if he takes a Three like Tiago he is done for the season :lol

[angelbelow]

Nice pass from Tiago.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck Beasley. Again.

[Supreme_Being]

Nice pass by Tiago!

[Cessation]

tolliver owning bonner, lol

[rjv]

splitter nice pass and rebound but TP gets a bad call

[TimDunkem]

Layup fest on Booner, but he was actually smart enough to give Splitter the ball when he was deep in the paint.

[TampaDude]

Horseshit charge call on TP.

[LeCrab]

bonner is getting abused for the 5th straight game ....

[timtonymanu]

Can someone contain Beasley please?

[angelbelow]

If Blair turned the ball over on 1 inbound play, let alone 2, he would be in the doghouse until the All-Star break..

If Bonner makes 1 3pointer a game Blair is in the dog house.

[HarlemHeat37]

Shitty call on Parker..his bad streak hasn't been helped by the fact that the refs aren't giving him and calls lately..

Beasley is on one of his hot streaks, tough to stop when he gets rolling..

[siraulo23]

beasley beasting

d not good

[ohmwrecker]

Bonner just dorks up the whole proceedings. He is like that one dude in your group of friends that you wish wasn't because everybody would have a much better time.
If you don't have one of those guys in your crew, it's you.

[CFH]

Rebound for the love of God!

[rjv]

tiago !

[angelbelow]

Lol that wasnt kevin love??

[td4mvp21]

Bonner missed that rotation bad.

[siraulo23]

rebounds?

[HarlemHeat37]

Bonner is getting manhandled inside by every player on the Wolves team..

Splitter goes to help, and Bonner gets killed by Koufus..following the play where he got killed by Tolliver inside..

[CFH]

Splitter tipin

[DesignatedT]

rebounding with bonner and splitter is terrible.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner is getting killed therfe

fuck

[angelbelow]

Not a good foul from Splitter, but a good learning experience.

[CFH]

Manu tressssssssssssssssss!

[rjv]

too easy for manu.

[timtonymanu]

More fluke shots

[Supreme_Being]

Somebody kill Boner plz

[ace3g]

another positive play from Splitter

[TampaDude]

Manu Tres!!!!!

[siraulo23]

manu wide open trez

[spurs1990]

Matt passed up at 15 footer. What the hell kind of a player is he?

[CFH]

Fuckin' Beasley

[Supreme_Being]

Splitter's court vision is brilliant.

[angelbelow]

Another good pass from Splitter to Manu. Splitter is rebounding fine. When you have Bonner + another big rebounding typically wont be above average.

[timtonymanu]

God I hate scrubs that light us up.

[ChumpDumper]

Bonner just dorks up the whole proceedings. He is like that one dude in your group of friends that you wish wasn't because everybody would have a much better time.
If you don't have one of those guys in your crew, it's you.Why would guys have someone like that in their crew?

[HarlemHeat37]

Splitter's passing has been solid so far..got 2 easy baskets for TP and Manu..

[rjv]

this timeout should see bonner get subbed out-thankfully.

[Pauleta14]

I hate seing Bonner on the floor...

All the 3s he can make are not enough...

[Cessation]

Bonner just dorks up the whole proceedings. He is like that one dude in your group of friends that you wish wasn't because everybody would have a much better time.
If you don't have one of those guys in your crew, it's you.

lol

[TimDunkem]

Why would guys have someone like that in their crew?
To make themselves feel better.

[quentin_compson]

Oh boy, this could be one of those games where Manu needs to be a superhero to pull out a W.

[timtonymanu]

I dont understand why Pop continues to experiment with Bonner. He's already seen how he performs under pressure and it's never good. Give Splitter some burn with Tim or McDyess.

[Fireball]

rebounding with bonner and splitter is terrible.

it wasn't good with Timmy and DB either

[Capt Bringdown]

Whatever mojo the Spurs had out of the gate seems to have evaporated these past few games. This team is starting to play like they did last year.

[benefactor]

8-1 in offensive rebounds in favor of the Wolves. Not really a surprise when all your best offensive rebounders are on the bench.

[Spurs Brazil]

Beasley is on fire but D on him is very poor

[Cessation]

if you wonna save dice, play splitter and blair more
bonner has overtaken blair as the worst big, by a long shot

[DesignatedT]

it wasn't good with Timmy and DB either

touche.

[CFH]

Bonner still in the game :bang

[rjv]

'the half-predator'

[Pauleta14]

Tony = Leading scorer (9) and worst +/- (-13)...

[ohmwrecker]

Why would guys have someone like that in their crew?

Why is Matt Bonner on the floor?

[rjv]

rolls in !

[CFH]

Hill 3!

[ace3g]

Hill with another buzzer beater

[duncan228]

Manu!

[angelbelow]

Hill for 3!

[Cessation]

pretty play manu to george

[td4mvp21]

Bonner continues to miss :rolleyes
