Game Blog: Bucks @ Spurs - Dec. 15

[ShoogarBear]

That was kind of a weak-ass shot.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Tiago gets blocked...

[DPG21920]

Booo Tiago.

[Pauleta14]

Good 1st half, but nothing's done!

They already came back from 20...

[Spurs Brazil]

Good 1st half, TD with a great game

[Jason R]

Great first half, Spurs up 16. I know the Bucks came back from 20 down on Monday, but they also scored 51 points in the paint. That's not going to happen in this game, Spurs doing a great job of protecting around the rim.

[Cessation]

spurs got this, they are far superior to the posing emo chocker mavs

[janetcn12]

Great 1st half, Timmy was exceptional today

[timtonymanu]

Hope the Knicks beat the C's.

[Fireball]

Celtics 116
Knicks 116

12 seconds to go ... Boston has the ball

[BanditHiro]

....The Bucks have us right where they want us..

[timtonymanu]

Fuckin Knicks

[Fireball]

holy shit ... Paul Pierce hits the shot with 0.4 seconds to go

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Nate Robinson jumps and falls through thin by trying to jump on Pierce (after the gamewinner).....Pierce jogs away and Robinson crashes to the ground

[Fireball]

wow ... Amare nearly won the game for the Knicks

[timtonymanu]

Now thats what should have happened in 2004 :depressed

[BoricuaCJA]

Celtics 116
Knicks 116

12 seconds to go ... Boston has the ball
Amare is an idiot. He should of known that you have to do a very quick release for a .4 sec shot.

[Bulwark]

Amare is an idiot. He should of known that you have to do a very quick release for a .4 sec shot.

Fisher says hi

[Fireball]

Amare is an idiot. He should of known that you have to do a very quick release for a .4 sec shot.

I would not have celebrated before knowing the basket counts ... but give Amare credit making the Knicks a winning team together with Felton

[anonoftheinternets]

Amare is an idiot. He should of known that you have to do a very quick release for a .4 sec shot.

enough time to do a spin, drink some coffee and then take the jumper .... a.k.a the fisher ..

[jestersmash]

:lmao

Nate Robinson jumps and falls through thin by trying to jump on Pierce (after the gamewinner).....Pierce jogs away and Robinson crashes to the ground

Paul Pierce just trolled the shit out of Nate Robinson on that play. Loved it.

[Pauleta14]

Fisher says hi

:nope

As quick as he was, his shot shouldn't have been allowed!!!

it lasted more than 0.4...

[Spurologist]

Bogut has a nice lefty hook

[timtonymanu]

what happened to Manu?

[Fireball]

where is Manu?

[Ice009]

Where is Manu?????????

[DPG21920]

Uh-oh Manu

[urunobili]

what happened to Manu?

[ace3g]

manu not in the starting lineup in the 2nd half, unless, Pop felt the bench wasn't playing well

[ducks]

DAMM DUNCAN 5 blocks

[DPG21920]

He will finish with 7, Ducks.

[Libri]

Tim with a long jumper.

[Spurologist]

TD has made some long Js today :tu

[ducks]

smart manu scored alot already
pop trying to save manu for the 4

[timtonymanu]

Hill's getting so good at that

[ducks]

Tim Duncan makes a 21-foot jumper from the right

[Spurologist]

Hill to shoot 3333333333333333333333333333 FTs

[DPG21920]

I wish we could get an update on Manu here....

[Spurs Brazil]

TD J is money today

[Jason R]

What happened to Manu? I had to step away for a bit.

[ohmwrecker]

Amare is an idiot. He should of known that you have to do a very quick release for a .4 sec shot.

Or, have the official start the clock late.

[urunobili]

Maybe Pop trying to win the game in Denver by saving Manu?

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Just started watching. This one is looking great for the Spurs! Keep it up!

[Ice009]

Celtics Vs Knicks game was very good. Don't we play both these teams on a back to back soon? That is going to be TOUGH.

[ace3g]

looks like Blair might have injured something as well

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Maybe Pop trying to win the game in Denver by saving Manu?
Could be.

[timtonymanu]

Damnit hopefully Blair is ok.

[Spurologist]

Blair with some kind of knee problem.....that's worrying cuz he has no ACLs

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Oh, and go Portland. Let's hope they beat the Mavs. That would be sweet to have a Spurs victory and another Mav loss. :)

[Mugen]

manu looks fine on the bench, both neal and ghill were shit in the first half

[Fireball]

I wish we could get an update on Manu here....

there is no update which is a good sign I think ... Pop just wants to get GH3 going

[Spurs Brazil]

It looks like Blair tweaked his ankle

[duncan228]

George Hill started second half for Ginobili. Manu not injured. Just Pop being Pop. There is a back-to-back tomorrow, after all ...

[DPG21920]

Good to see Manu in....concern alleviated.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Not much action going on right now....

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

George Hill to the line for 2.

[anonoftheinternets]

george hill looking like kevin martin out there with teh ability to draw contact :)

[ace3g]

Splitter in for Timmy

[BanditHiro]

we need to go 41-3

[Ice009]

looks like Blair might have injured something as well

Pop shouldn't be fucking around with the lineups. It does nothing good.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Yay! Offensive foul!

[Libri]

Splitter with another charge.

[timtonymanu]

I guess this means Splitter wont play tomorrow.

[ace3g]

JMcDonald_SAEN Jeff McDonald
DeJuan Blair to the locker room with team doc David Schmidt. Updates when we get them. #spurs

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair looks concerned on the bench

[DPG21920]

Come on Blair. Don't be hurt. You just started playing well.

[Jason R]

Pop not happy.

[BanditHiro]

sweet jesus the bucks are a bunch a fags you are down fuck off and let us rest for our back to back in one of the hardest arenas to play in.

[Spurologist]

JMcDonald_SAEN Jeff McDonald
DeJuan Blair to the locker room with team doc David Schmidt. Updates when we get them. #spurs


Blair looks concerned on the bench

:bang :pctoss

[Mugen]

why couldnt it have been bonner instead of blair

[jestersmash]

Pop just screamed "Figure it out!" after the Spurs didn't foul intentionally (like he wanted) and - even worse - gave up a wide open 3 point attempt.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Spurs need to win by at least 15 to set a club house record for 5 blowout games in a row with more than +15 points per game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago also injured

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

why couldnt it have been bonner instead of blair
That would've been much better.

[Tp9gospursgo]

I missed it...what happened to Blair?

[Ice009]

Well Pop decided to fuck with the lineups again.

Not happy when he does this. Now DeJuan could be hurt.

[Ice009]

Well Pop decided to fuck with the lineups again.

Not happy when he does this. Now DeJuan could be hurt.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Way to go Popobitch. Had to screw with the lineups.

[GSH]

Anyone see that bone-crunching pick Bonner just set on CDR? Bam!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fuck that shot.

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair back on the bench

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Another offensive foul. Take that Bucks.

[Supreme_Being]

Is that a Bonner chip out? OMG

[DPG21920]

Great pass by Manu.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Good thing Bonner didn't drive all the way into the lane. Bonner isn't so good outside the 3 point line.

[Jason R]

Bonner Rebounder!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Damn good pass from Ginobli

[DPG21920]

Can't leave Gooden that open. He can obviously hit that shot.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

These Jefferson 3's aren't falling tonight.....

[timtonymanu]

RJ's jumper is off

[DPG21920]

This Bucks team is incredibly resilient. Their defense keeps them in most every game.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Shit Bonner, don't drive.

[Spurologist]

gooooooodddddddeeeennnnnnnnn thank you

[Tp9gospursgo]

Wow. Jennings.

[duncan228]

Ugh.

[Spurologist]

Fuck

[BanditHiro]

what an annoying team

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

jennings is in the game now

[timtonymanu]

Goddamnit. Horrible 3rd because of Pop being a dumbass

[Libri]

Crap!

[Chieflion]

Jennings killing us....

[DPG21920]

I say it every game; Manu is virtually guaranteed points at the end of a quarter.

Also, lol Spurs on that 3 pointer.

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck

[HarlemHeat37]

I missed the first 3 and a half quarters, went to the Knicks game, maybe the game of the year, so far..

It's scary that teams are finally overplaying Bonner, which is what they should have been doing this entire time..he had his strange hook shot/floater last year, but he doesn't look like has any game within the 3-point line this year..his effectiveness is even more worrying if opposing defenses continue with this..

I know the Bucks are a great defensive team, but you can obviously expect that from the top teams in the NBA as well..

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

While the game is getting closer, no need to worry. Spurs can easily get themselves back in the game as long as Jefferson starts making his 3's and such.

[Mugen]

wtf was that george

[Ice009]

We could have been up by 20 now if Pop had started Manu and we were sharper.

I don't understand this coach. He tries stupid things when he doesn't need to.

[janetcn12]

Spurs...need to be more aggressive.

[Jason R]

Last second three. Spurs only up eight but not worried.

[DPG21920]

Bucks hold the Spurs to a 20 point quarter when it matters. Spurs need a strong finish. This Bucks team will up the defensive pressure even more. Re-establish Tim, control the tempo and no more mental lapses on the defensive end.

[Fireball]

this game is going the same way as the Bucks/Mavs game ... don't like it all

[Spurs Brazil]

Anyone saw what happened with Tiago? Pop wanted that foul to get Tiago out of the game and when the Spurs called timeout Sevening went to talk with Tiago

[BanditHiro]

We could have been up by 20 now if Pop had started Manu and we were sharper.

I don't understand this coach. He tries stupid things when he doesn't need to.

timtonymanu this is the guy you should bitch at not me unlike me this guy actually serious

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

I hate these Milwaukee Fuck's.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fuck

[howbouthemspurs]

Time for Manu to take over!

[timtonymanu]

timtonymanu this is the guy you should bitch at not me unlike me this guy actually serious

I dont see anything wrong with what he said.

[BanditHiro]

unbelievable what is happening lol

[Spurologist]

+6

[Mugen]

lol im pretty sure manu is going to murder bonner

[janetcn12]

Don't fall like the Mav...Go Spurs Go

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck Bonner, very soft today

[Fireball]

get Bonner out ... he sucks

[Libri]

:bang

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Gooden is the reason they're back in the game.

[timtonymanu]

Goddamnit Spurs.

[Juanobili]

DAMN! Down to a 4 point game >:[

[BanditHiro]

ouch so much for resting duncan in the 4th

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Get Bonehead Bonner out of the game.....

[Spurologist]

update on Blair?????

[ducks]

come on spurs are asleep

[urunobili]

it's a trap!

http://imagemacros.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/its_a_trap.jpg

[timtonymanu]

Instead of possibly putting this game away early, Pop rests Manu to start the 3rd. Now they have to grind out a win. So dumb.

[Texas_Ranger]

Why didn't we sign Gooden?? He's like 5X better than Bonner

[howbouthemspurs]

How are the Bucks coming back?

[janetcn12]

Oh No..

[Tp9gospursgo]

And 1 Parker!

[Spurologist]

ttttttppppppppppp and1

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Tony and 1! Take that Fucks!

[ohmwrecker]

Bonner's D sucks on ice.

[Libri]

TP! Much needed points.

[ducks]

nice

[timtonymanu]

Hit the fuckin free throws.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony and one!

[howbouthemspurs]

ANd 1

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Damn, still can't find anything on Blair at the moment.

[janetcn12]

Yes, TP

[Tp9gospursgo]

Fuck, Bonner. You have to box out.

[BlairForceDejuan]

Bonner worthless as shit on D tonight.

I wish Splitter would step it up and take his minutes damnitt.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Hey, Bonner made one. Niiiiccccceeeee

[DPG21920]

Nice strong take by TP.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

C'mon Spurs! Finish off the Deer here!

[Spurologist]

tp taking over

[howbouthemspurs]

damnt it Bonner!! I mean.. yay Bonner!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fuck, Bonner. You have to box out.
This.

[Jason R]

Tony Parker picking up the slack in the fourth.

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ with a great job on the boards

[Spurs Brazil]

I think Blair is fine, he's back on the bench

[ace3g]

Before you ask, "Where's Tiago?" Splitter has a right thigh contusion and won't return tonight. #spurs

McDonald

[BanditHiro]

moral victory for the bucks: Duncan is playing in the 4th

[Spurs Brazil]

Before you ask, "Where's Tiago?" Splitter has a right thigh contusion and won't return tonight. #spurs

[ohmwrecker]

RJ with a great job on the boards

1 shy of a dub dub.

[DPG21920]

Damn, Bogut just beasted Tim down low.

[Jason R]

Great job by Bogut.

[urunobili]

Before you ask, "Where's Tiago?" Splitter has a right thigh contusion and won't return tonight. #spurs

McDonald

thanks ace :tu

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

These Bucks just won't fade away. Keep trying to come back.

[Fabbs]

Not liking what I'm hearing from y'all.
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p55/RackTheMouse/bonpop.jpg
Okay he just got him out of there. Duncan for Bonner. :toast

[timtonymanu]

Damn so Splitter and Blair are hurt.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Carry!

[timtonymanu]

play smart.

[BanditHiro]

man this is getting scary

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Gooden didn't even look like he got fouled. Just waived his arms in the air.

[BanditHiro]

damn we can't stop fouling on defense

[DPG21920]

Another block by Tim. Bucks to cut this to a 4 point game. Spurs really need a little spurt. Bucks have man handled them this half. Shut them down.

[timtonymanu]

When the hell did Gooden start playing smart?

[Spurologist]

offensive drought.....+4

[Jason R]

Well the Spurs are killing themselves with fouls.

[Spurs Brazil]

stupid foul

[DPG21920]

Big shot from Tim.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Thank you Timmy.

[Frenzy]

Wow ..the lead is shrinking..

[GSH]

The Spurs started thinking about resting their starters too early. Everybody let down, the Bucks got some confidence, and now nobody can find their rhythm.

[Capt Bringdown]

Shaping up to be another typical Spurs/Bucks game: L for the Spurs

[ohmwrecker]

6 blocks for Timmy.

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck You Drew Gooden!

[DPG21920]

Gooden is on fire. Spurs might want to guard him. Make him put in on the damn floor instead of spotting up.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs think they're gonna luck out of this so no one is stepping it up. You got it all wrong guys.

[Spurs Brazil]

Gooden is on fire

[45 bank shot]

seriously, fear the deer

[Spurologist]

tp fumbles on the TD to tp patented back door pass BUT delivers it back to TD for the J...rattles in

TD misses the next J but a foul on Gooden +4

[jestersmash]

Put the ball in Ginobili's hands from now on and we're golden.

[GSH]

Spurs think they're gonna luck out of this so no one is stepping it up. You got it all wrong guys.

Yeah, they act like they think that 18 point lead entitles them to something now.

[DPG21920]

Keep going to Tim. He is hitting shots and passing well overall. Run it through him.

[janetcn12]

Oh no, What happen. Our lead is shrinking.

[Capt Bringdown]

Dice is crap

[peskypesky]

Fuck You Drew Gooden!

payback time. Pop didn't think he had game.

[Ice009]

timtonymanu this is the guy you should bitch at not me unlike me this guy actually serious

Can you rephrase that? I have no idea what you just said.

[DPG21920]

Not Spurs ball?

[Spurs Brazil]

Bucks is the worst shooting team in the NBA, but 45% against us

[Fireball]

I really would trade a loss tonight against DB+Tiago not being hurt

[Spurologist]

WOW

foul was on Dice?????

[timtonymanu]

Can you rephrase that? I have no idea what you just said.

Just ignore him.

[spurspokesman]

payback time. Pop didn't think he had game.
yup. Ironically he finds it against us lol.

[DPG21920]

Unreal. Big call there.

[Mal]

here come bucks

[DPG21920]

Do the Spurs have enough in them? Do they have one of those runs we are used to seeing?

[Mal]

Big play by Manu

[peskypesky]

2pt game? are you fucking serious? glad i can't watch this one.

[timtonymanu]

Damn it Manu.

[Jason R]

Damn it Manu.

[Jason R]

Technical foul on Scott Skiles for the bail out!

[Supreme_Being]

Cant buy a fucking bucket right now for shit. smh

[biskvito]

Bonner is going to light up from 3pt land. Just sayin :downspin:

[howbouthemspurs]

Damn whats up with the free throws?

[Spurologist]

Damn...manu almost steals the ball from Bogut

[GSH]

When Manu starts bricking FT's down the stretch, we're in trouble.

[janetcn12]

Can't believe it. What happen. Spurs we must win.

[BanditHiro]

man we just can't stop fouling

[BlairForceDejuan]

refs need to chill the f out and let the men play

[timtonymanu]

Bucks with the home cooking calls.

Oh wait.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

boguts making FT lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

weak ass pass there..

[Spurs Brazil]

those refs sucks

[Texas_Ranger]

Since Bonner is in the game this game sucks.

[DPG21920]

Manu again :lol

[GSH]

Just keep throwing the ball away. We can lose this one yet.

[Libri]

Yesss!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice steal Manu.

[Supreme_Being]

Tp!!!!!

[peskypesky]

well, the Bucks beat Dallas, right? on any given Sunday (or Wednesday in the NBA)....

[Frenzy]

Wtf hAppen to Blair n tiago?

[ace3g]

Tiago Splitter out w/ "right abductor contusion." Judging by where Ilyasova's knee hit, that's putting it gently.

- Hollinger

[DPG21920]

Damn these turn overs. Very frustrating.

[Spurologist]

manu to TPPPPPPP

[BanditHiro]

man they are just shooting themselves in the foot

[timtonymanu]

Slow the fuck down. There's still too much time.

[GSH]

Yet another stupid pass after a turnover. Pissing away opportunities.

[spurspokesman]

Bout time

[janetcn12]

Yes, TP

[Tp9gospursgo]

C'mon Spurs!

[DPG21920]

Told you Tim would get 7 blocks

[DPG21920]

Bogut is balling out there.

[GSH]

No ball movement. We didn't get the big lead playing 1-on-1

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

[spurspokesman]

Horrible

[Supreme_Being]

WTF bogut

[Spurologist]

:pctoss

That Bogut lefty hook is unguardable

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs are playing like they want to lose this one

[janetcn12]

No, no, no. 1 point lead

[ohmwrecker]

Good God! What happened to the Spurs?!
