Game Blog: Hawks @ Spurs - Dec. 10

[SpursDynasty85]

Bonner needs to get out...

[DPG21920]

Motherfuckers, never doubt the Manu!

lol turnover.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why Bonner and not Splitter this game??? Surely Splitter was a better matchup for Hawks' athletic frontline!?

[Sofaking]

lol I cant say ell.iot?

[Chomag]

LOl wth, bonner ran away from the guy driving the ball on that break. lol

I thought he was going to block it from behind at first but no

[DesignatedT]

yep. manu is just not there tonight

[timtonymanu]

Damn Hill even made that.

[100%duncan]

Wow!

[L.I.T]

Pass!

[CFH]

Blair putback!

[carina_gino20]

Manu with 6 TO's and no assists.

[Crookshanks]

22 points off turnovers - Spurs are gonna have a hard time winning with giving away points like that.

[GSH]

Damn... this has to be Manu's worst game of the season. He's spending too much time looking for whistles.

[100%duncan]

what the F

[Chomag]

err manu.. what kind of shot selectiuon was thast

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

move.the.ball.w.t.f.

[100%duncan]

Manu with 6 TO's and no assists.

looks like someones gonna have a negative

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oh God stfu.

He's either 12yo or a drama queen. Just ignore his wild in-game mood swings. :lmao

[DPG21920]

Spurs got this. Even though they have not played well, they have still been the better team.

[SpursDynasty85]

Luckily whenever the spurs are playing bad, the other teams try to beat us 1v1... The Lakers would demolish us if we were playing like this.

[timtonymanu]

Manu should have passed that that time.

[DesignatedT]

hawks giving manu the 3... lol

[Whisky Dog]

Manu's gassed. Last couple shots are way short.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu needs to attack

[L.I.T]

Both TP and Manu have been making some shit decisions on offense this game.

[DesignatedT]

lakers makin a comeback. 85-82 bulls

[BanditHiro]

He's either 12yo or a drama queen. Just ignore his wild in-game mood swings. :lmao

wtf lol everybody acts like this during the game.

[timtonymanu]

He's either 12yo or a drama queen. Just ignore his wild in-game mood swings. :lmao

Yeah i just get annoyed with premature comments like that.

[spurspokesman]

Ok just logged in in judging by your comments the spurs have been putting the ball on the deck tonight. UGHHHHH. turnovers. What else. Manu looks like he is trying to do too much right now

[GSH]

Motherfuckers, never doubt the Manu!

I keep expecting him to get it going, but he's really making bad decisions tonight. I think the lack of calls have gotten in his head, and he's trying to prove a point. He keeps leaning on his shots, trying to get the whistles and it's not working for him.

[Dex]

The Spurs offense is nonexistent. Aside from the occasional drive to the lane, it's a bunch of iso and jumpshots. They aren't running; they aren't passing; they aren't playing as a team.

Pop will be coming back with Tim and Tony soon, and they'll probably go to the two man game unless the Spurs can start getting some offense going otherwise. Unfortunately, Tim and Tony are off tonight.

[duncan228]

lol I cant say ell.iot?

Only if you spell it right. Try two t's.

[timtonymanu]

wtf lol everybody acts like this during the game.

but no one says game over like you do constantly especially when the game is obviously not over.

[100%duncan]

Nice job hill

[Dex]

Points in transition. Hallelujah.

[DesignatedT]

good take george.

[SpursDynasty85]

Lol, someone said gameover? idiot

[100%duncan]

Lets Go HILL!

[L.I.T]

Nice hands by TP.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

clear path?!

[GSH]

Looks like Hill is up for hero time. We could use it.

[CFH]

Parker poking the ball away

[timtonymanu]

Hill with some clutch steals or was it Tony?

[100%duncan]

Hill going to dominate

[spurspokesman]

Break for the spurs. Cool

[SpursDynasty85]

:toast
Parker poking the ball away

Thats what I noticed too..

[DesignatedT]

parker and hill playing good out there.

[BanditHiro]

come on make a bad call and call a clear path

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

at least...ime looking good on bench :tu

[100%duncan]

Meanwhile Lakers lose to bulls

[GSH]

Refs looking for a reason not to call clear path?

Why didn't they check to see if there was time left on the clock at the end of the half?

[DesignatedT]

kobe chokes at the free throw line. 88-83 bulls. 10 seconds

[Spurs Brazil]

Great job Hill

[DPG21920]

Damn, still 8 minutes left? Get this one over with :lol

[BanditHiro]

Meanwhile Lakers lose to bulls

yes can't get trolled

[100%duncan]

at least...ime looking good on bench :tu

Thats what's Ime gotta do for us to win:downspin::downspin:

[Dex]

I don't see how that's not a clear path foul. No Hawk was ahead of Hill when he was fouled by Bibby.

[100%duncan]

shit

[TIMMYD!]

Blair And-1!

[100%duncan]

Dejuan!

[CFH]

Blair AND 1!

[L.I.T]

Whoooo! Blair just took it right back at Horford. Nice move.

[timtonymanu]

Blair and 1

[DPG21920]

Spurs can't quite get that separation. They are starting to score more, but they can't get the stops.

Blair with a nice finish.

[BanditHiro]

I don't see how that's not a clear path foul. No Hawk was ahead of Hill when he was fouled by Bibby.

he lose the ball so we kinda got lucky biby was stupid enough to grab his arm afterwards

[GSH]

Blair has been awesome tonight. That was a big play, when we really needed it.

[spurspokesman]

More of that dejuan

[DPG21920]

Where's Tim?

[DesignatedT]

yessir dejuan.

[100%duncan]

And 1!

[Spurs Brazil]

Beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DPG21920]

Stop and a score would be great. Give the Spurs a nice cushion.

[100%duncan]

Double double

[itzsoweezee]

Blair bashers can eat a dick. Fuck all of you.

[Fireball]

Blair really shows more patience and it pays off big time

[TIMMYD!]

TP should've moved the ball around more on that posession.

[Dex]

Parker's jump shot is broken again. :(

[Crookshanks]

Lakers and Hornets lose tonight - Spurs need to win and put some space between us and them.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

omfg....

[DPG21920]

Come on Tonyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Damn. We need that.

[Danny.Zhu]

Blair beasting!

[Pauleta14]

WTF Tony? Panic?

[timtonymanu]

damn unfortunate miss

[CFH]

Dammit, Parker should've had that one

[Capt Bringdown]

WTF happened to Parker?

[100%duncan]

what the fuck blair just tried to flop

[DPG21920]

Instead of a 9 point game, it's now a 5 point game due to those back to back misses from TP.

[Chomag]

is bonner going to play all of the second half or what

[L.I.T]

Spurs wasted two opportunities to extend the lead; both on bad decisions.

[LeCrab]

Parker if your not going to make the shot stop ball hogging... :bang @ bringing jefferson in for neal, neal was playing great d

[DesignatedT]

ahh missin chip shots. were keeping them in the game.

[TIMMYD!]

Where's Tim?

Pop probably know he's played a lot of minutes but I think he should already be in there.

[CFH]

Spurs just can't pull away

[Sofaking]

lol I thought Blair could only play against bench and 2nd tier big men

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony needs to make those shots

I hope TD is in for Bonner after the timeout

[Crookshanks]

Spurs wasted two opportunities to extend the lead; both on bad decisions.

That's been the story the whole game tonight. :bang

[Pauleta14]

TP should've moved the ball around more on that posession.


TP should have SCORE on that posession... :bang

[GSH]

Stop and a score would be great. Give the Spurs a nice cushion.

We got the stop. We have pissed off a lot of those this season. I can understand if they don't score, but I hate it when they don't get quality shots after a turnover. They act like it's a freebie, so they can just take whatever shot they want. As far as I'm concerned, it's one of their big shortcomings so far.

[BanditHiro]

Parker if your not going to make the shot stop ball hogging... :bang @ bringing jefferson in for neal, neal was playing great d

you do realize we don't have the 2009-2010 richard jefferson...

[DPG21920]

Parker if your not going to make the shot stop ball hogging... :bang @ bringing jefferson in for neal, neal was playing great d

1) It was a wide open 4 foot shot

2) Manu has 0 assist

[TIMMYD!]

Tony needs to make those shots

I hope TD is in for Bonner after the timeout

Shit. Not yet.

[Crookshanks]

Man, there's still almost 7 minutes left in this game. Is it ever going to end???

[Chomag]

Guess Pop doesnt think we need Timmy now that we have Bonner now lol

[Fireball]

TP should have SCORE on that posession... :bang

but he had no ankle (quote Sean Elliott) :downspin:

[CFH]

Bonner :lol

[100%duncan]

Bonner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[janetcn12]

Make the opportunity works, Spurs

[The Truth #6]

Where are the dillweeds who wanted to bail on Blair and trade him for a bag of peanuts?

[DPG21920]

Nice job by Bonner there. Good aggressive move by Hill as well. Nice sequence.

Get Tim back in sons.

[GSH]

People can bitch Bonner all they want, but he's played well this game. That was a great steal, at a perfect time.

[SpursDynasty85]

Parker if your not going to make the shot stop ball hogging... :bang @ bringing jefferson in for neal, neal was playing great d



Yea, lets calm down. Those were good shots. Were just expecting a little too much becuase we've been blowing teams out lately. Atlanta's a good team.. Were grinding this game out.

[spurspokesman]

atlanta caught cherrypicking by the red rocket patrol lol

[DesignatedT]

good aggressiveness george.

[Borosai]

Bonner just snaked a d-shaped turd on some people.

[DPG21920]

Ok back to back stops. Can we get back to back scores?

[L.I.T]

Hill's aggressiveness has been a difference for the Spurs since he came in.

[Crookshanks]

At least the Hawks are starting to make some stupid turnovers now.

[carina_gino20]

Bonner :lol

[SpursDynasty85]

People can bitch Bonner all they want, but he's played well this game. That was a great steal, at a perfect time.


he has played well, but he is athletically challenged in a game like this.

[DPG21920]

Blair just clearing people out.

3 straight stops, Spurs need to capitalize and RJ does it!

[CFH]

Rj 3!

[TIMMYD!]

RJ 33333333333333

Well...the offense is picking up. And that was a nice in rhythm shot by TP.

[DesignatedT]

[LeCrab]

Sorry parker and jefferson :toast

[DPG21920]

Terrible call! Terrible.

[Warlord23]

For fuck's sake can Pop get Timmy or Dice in the game?

[DPG21920]

[SpursDynasty85]

[100%duncan]

Ghill!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[L.I.T]

Finally the ball movement has picked up in the last minute.

[carina_gino20]

[CFH]

RJ 3! It's raining!

[BlairForceDejuan]

skkkeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet skeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[L.I.T]

RJeff and Hill just buried 'em!

[GSH]

Like that play that just got Hill the 3-pointer. Bonner set a great screen on the other side that got things rolling.

[SpursDynasty85]

Parker waving off Bonner. = RJ corner 3.

GJ Parker...

[timtonymanu]

Back to back 3s!!!!!!!!!

[Chieflion]

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill 3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

[DPG21920]

RJ is a sonovagun. Dude has had multiple games where his multiple 3's in close games have blown it open.

Well done, sir. Well done.

[carina_gino20]

Ball movement! :wow

[ShoogarBear]

Holy crap. Spurs putting their foot down with both Duncan and Ginobili on the bench.

[Warlord23]

Terrific shooting from long range

[Mal]

This team is big in 4th quaters.

[LeCrab]

My jinx works again

[Danny.Zhu]

Rj!!

[Crookshanks]

Sean: I've been begging for this all night long! :lol

[DesignatedT]

Awesome Tony. Awesome running the point. Good shooting RJ and Hill.

Spurs going to win this game without Duncan and Manu down the stretch

[spurspokesman]

RJ's earnign every bit of the 9mil this year.
He can actually make a case for 14. More is less in this league it seems. The more u pay the less u get:toast

[SpursDynasty85]

Like that play that just got Hill the 3-pointer. Bonner set a great screen on the other side that got things rolling.


That was trash Defense by Atlanta... Easy play for Bonner.

[peskypesky]

damn, i said at the end of the first quarter that i liked the way the Spurs were looking tonight, but they have really kicked it into high gear now.

[Fireball]

at the end of the third quarter Bill Land said that the Spurs would have to explode if they want to score 100 points ... well: BOOM

[BanditHiro]

Game over!

STFU god i hate when people make these preejaculation comments when the game is clearly not over...

i'm jk

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Dayum! :wow RJ and George are so much better from the corners this year!

We just ran pretty much the same play 3 times in a row for 9pts! :lol

[wijayas]

Holy crap. Spurs putting their foot down with both Duncan and Ginobili on the bench.

It looks surreal but true... :toast

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Dayum! :wow RJ and George are so much better from the corners this year!

We just ran pretty much the same play 3 times in a row for 9pts! :lol

[peskypesky]

[100%duncan]

LOL I just realized Manu and Tim are not on the floor!

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ with some big shots there

[Pauleta14]

WOW the Bulls limited the Lakers to 84 pts... impressive!

[Muser]

RJ is a clutch motherfucker this season.

[peskypesky]

everybody contributing. everyone looking alive.

[CFH]

Blair!

[100%duncan]

Blair!

[SpursDynasty85]

nice play tp and blair

[Crookshanks]

Portland is putting a beat down on the Suns - up 16 at the end of the 3rd.

[L.I.T]

What a pass and finish.

[Dex]

Pop sticking with what's working.

[peskypesky]

Grizzly Blair!!!!

[DPG21920]

Spurs got this. Even though they have not played well, they have still been the better team.

RJ with the block!

http://i55.tinypic.com/ta0u14.gif

[100%duncan]

Great d!

[CFH]

RJ block!

[spurspokesman]

Work the clock. Atlanta can shoot

[Warlord23]

The offense is rolling, which is masking the weakness of Blair/Bonner on defense

[peskypesky]

oh we are fucking bitch-slapping them now!

[CFH]

Rj 3!

[DPG21920]

RJ again, how much does he have left?????????????????!!!!!!!!

http://i55.tinypic.com/ta0u14.gif

[TIMMYD!]

RJ another 33333333! Holy Fuck! 5 of 6 for the game.

[100%duncan]

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccharddddddddddddd jeffeeeeeeerrssssssssssssonnnnnn!

[L.I.T]

That's amazing. I don't even recognize him.

[Dex]

:lmao Jefferson just fucking around now.

[peskypesky]

get the fuck outta here!!!! :) lmao

[carina_gino20]

RJ is money!

[timtonymanu]

Rj!!!!!!!!!!!

[DesignatedT]

another great play from tony. been fucking awesome this game running the show

[Danny.Zhu]

RJ again!!

[Muser]

Great to see Blair get over his shitty early play. God damn RJ you are a beast..

[100%duncan]

LOL at crawford

[SpursDynasty85]

Atlantas flailing. They're tired.

[TIMMYD!]

And all this with Tim on the bench for the fourth quarter. :D

[Crookshanks]

Sean said he didn't think the Spurs would hit 100 tonight - boy did they prove him wrong!!

[CFH]

Parker!

[100%duncan]

Tp!

[timtonymanu]

I think RJ already hit more 3's than he did last year.

Did Tim sit the whole 4th?

[DesignatedT]

RJ and Tony shitting all over LeCrab

[100%duncan]

Another big fourth! How I love this line up!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We have just blitzed a hot team in the clutch AGAIN. This team is going deep in the playoffs. :D

[Muser]

Crawford :lmao

[100%duncan]

Tiago is here Lol

[GSH]

Oh man, this team is explosive!

[DPG21920]

Spurs exploded in this quarter. Amazing. Ball movement and energy. If the Spurs have that, they will win a TON of games.

Blair with an amazing performance. Seeing Hill and Blair play so well is such a great sign for this team. They were winning without their contributions.

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair with a GREAT game

[L.I.T]

That's a mansize game from Blair vs a fairly tough Hawks front court.

[timtonymanu]

Oh there's Splitter. Same level as Udoka and Quinn. Fuckin ridiculous.

[100%duncan]

LOl NEal

[TIMMYD!]

Sucks that Tiago only gets to play the last minute of the game.

[Muser]

The Blair and 1 against Horford was the catalyst IMO.

[CFH]

Crazy the Spurs made that run without Duncan or Ginobili on the floor.

[SpursDynasty85]

Pop's favorite player = Hill
My new fav player = Neal

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Love that hug of Timmy on Blair. Those guys communicate really well, on and off the court. Lotsa love there.

[DPG21920]

[BanditHiro]

[peskypesky]

Blair with a GREAT game

yeah, so good to see him get his shit together. i was a bit worried at the beginning of the season.

Insult to injury!

[DPG21920]

How the Spurs won that by 16 is beyond me :lol
