[ace3g]

Bonner going after the boards....

[janetcn12]

Hahhaa..what a turnover..

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

affalo missed!nicee

[suitedkings]

Wow Bonner with 3 rebounds in a row!

[007nites]

bonner drawing a foul lol

[DPG21920]

I thought they weren't going to call that obvious foul on Bonner's shot...

[WildcardManu]

What a difference it makes when you start playing D...

[falconqb1234]

wait. did matt bonner just get an offensive rebound?

[Spurologist]

Bonner is fucking rebouding today :wow

Apocolypse??

[ElNono]

manu got a easy layup by hill to get him going
why did he not get a layup earlier
FUCKING IDIOT

:lmao

you, you good

[CFH]

Bonner getting the boards

[TJastal]

Is it me, or does Bonner play pretty well on B2B's?

[ShoogarBear]

Bonner doin work on the boards. Props.

[Rummpd]

Bonner manning up

[hitmanyr2k]

Spurs are playing "Lebron ball" at the moment. I know Ginobili is hot but they have to get some movement in their offense. Right now they're just giving the ball to Ginobili and standing around.

[Capt Bringdown]

One of the better games I've ever seen Bonner play.

[CFH]

Make free throws, gotdammit!

[Drachen]

Bonner is rebounding all over the damn place

[TE]

wait. did matt bonner just get an offensive rebound?
:lol

yes he did.

[SpursDynasty85]

Bonner double clutching... nice..

[AussieFanKurt]

Bonner... rebound? Wow

[Ginobili2Duncan]

The Spurs have definitely picked up the defense.

[InRareForm]

come on, foul hard if you are going to foul

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Damnit and 1 :(

[BanditHiro]

soft calls on a big man

[ElNono]

too much time left

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

where is the contact?bullshit call

[Rummpd]

I wish Nene was a Spur

[janetcn12]

Wow Spurs..keep it up..we gonna win

[007nites]

damn hilario is giving timmy fits tonight

[timtonymanu]

Manu to Tim.

[CFH]

Timmy dunk!

[DPG21920]

Sick play by Tim and Manu

[WildcardManu]

suck on that bitches!

[Capt Bringdown]

Big 3 point play from Denver

[ace3g]

Manu to timmy for the dunk!!

[TampaDude]

Timmy!!!

[SpursDynasty85]

Thats abullshit foul.. Tim Duncan went striaght up. Refs are really really bad this game. They need to give back a pro-rata share of their salary for this game.


Dunca flying for a dunk. Spurs = classy basketball

[Rummpd]

Manu to Duncan!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

manu to Timmy!

[Spurologist]

Fuck....double team Nene

[hitmanyr2k]

Damn...Nene abusing Duncan like a rental car.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice moves by NeNe

[DPG21920]

How many fouls is that this quarter for Denver?

[007nites]

c'mon timmay you aint no bitch

[ElNono]

There's just no weak side defense when Nene gets by TD

[DPG21920]

Nice move by TP. Make your FT's boys.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice TP!

[GSH]

Duncan is guarding 4 personals. That bullshit from the first half adds up.

[Capt Bringdown]

I wish Nene was a Spur

The dude's quick, ain't he?

[BoricuaCJA]

What Duncan did right there is what Tiago needs to do to do. GO UP STRONG FOR THE DUNK when catching the ball to the hoop.

[ducks]

nene is to fast

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Pop has done his substitutions in this 4th quarter pretty damn well

now it's up to the players to finish

[SpursDynasty85]

no matter how good this win is. with out chauncey/martin/birdman, this is a different team.

[timtonymanu]

c'mon timmay you aint no bitch

:nope

[Cessation]

spurs locking up on d, these nuggets in their own building

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That's my favourite asymmetrical pnr play for Duncan! They haven't run that play at that particular angle much this year, but it was a go-to play from 2005-07.

[SpursDynasty85]

KABOOOM!!!! bonner 3

[DPG21920]

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

[CFH]

Bonner 3!

[ace3g]

[Sisk]

[BoricuaCJA]

Yeah!!! Bonner!

[tah]

[TampaDude]

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bonner 333333333333333333333333

[awktalk]

Red rocket with the shotclock expiring!

[timtonymanu]

Bonner's been huge offensively.

[ShoogarBear]

HUGE shot by Bonner . . .

wait, what did I just say?

[Libri]

Bonner 3! Excellent!

[HarlemHeat37]

Bonner is playing a solid game tonight, a tough game..

[jimo2305]

make it rain.. make it rain.. make it rain.. make it rain..

[Cessation]

ginger with the triple!!

[ElNono]

Denver crumbling

[duncan228]

Duncan with his season high for points

[Barfunk]

Boner with the erection!!!!

[Dex]

Jefferson coming, beware the small ball.

[GSH]

Damn, people, give Tim a break. He's palying with 4 fouls, and they're trying to get number 5 on him. He's fine.

[DPG21920]

Great defense and rebounding. Spurs starting to impose their will on both ends.

[CFH]

9 point lead, build it up.

[NRHector]

unleash the 3 pointers beast

[boutons_deux]

Who doesn't love Matty? :)

[AussieFanKurt]

Good play Manu and Bonner

[Flo-Rida]

Fun Fact : For all you sneaker heads those shoes J.R Smith are wearing (Cool Grey 11's) come out December 23rd . Pretty cool

[ElNono]

Props to Bonner, but that was Manu with ice in his veins and the clock going down drawing everybody inside

[TampaDude]

That's 5 on Nene!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fuck me, this team is REALLY FUCKIN GOOD.

To come in here on a b2b, stay with the Nuggets for 3 quarters, keep them to 0 fast-break points, then pull away in the mid-4th... WOW. :wow

[DarkGinobili]

Bonner 3!

[Rummpd]

Duncan's best game in a long time and it is at a great time and to all the Bonner haters he is playing hard and pretty effectively!

[Danny.Zhu]

Bonner +16......

[spursfan1000]

One more and nene is out..good because he has been annoying me all game

[timtonymanu]

Duncan with his season high for points

It's been his best game this year and surprisingly it's on a B2B in Denver.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Very pleased with Pop's subs in this 4th quarter...the timing....
Spur Players better not fuck this up. Let's go guys!!!!!!

[GSH]

That's my favourite asymmetrical pnr play for Duncan! They haven't run that play at that particular angle much this year, but it was a go-to play from 2005-07.


The man knows his Spurs.

It was a thing of beauty.

[024]

beautiful 4th quarter so far. lockdown defense and executing half court sets to perfection. classic spurs.

[TE]

Spurs in control of the game.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fun Fact : For all you sneaker heads those shoes J.R Smith are wearing (Cool Grey 11's) come out December 23rd . Pretty cool


:toast

[Spurologist]

Pop = Belichick

No bad Reggie...agreement there

[DPG21920]

As many others have said, Bonner is playing his best all around game imo. Very good job by him.

Nene with 5 fouls is huge. I wonder if they will keep going to him on the offensive end. That is when a guy like Gino comes with a smart double and draws a foul usually...

[Borosai]

Haters don't look up now. Bonner's squatting. Pushing.

[ElNono]

When we're shooting like tonight, it puts a lot of pressure on the other team to keep up with the offense

[janetcn12]

Bonner, Bonner...

[jestersmash]

Love how Ginobili didn't panic with the clock going down. Drove, drew defenders, passed out to a wide open Bonner. Spurs execute so well under pressure.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Did Ginobili play at all in the 3rd?

[Sisk]

One more and nene is out..good because he has been annoying me all game

:tu

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Bonner +16 and George Hill +15.......maybe George doesn't suck so bad tonight afterall, by Bonner logic?

[Spurologist]

JR Smith has the basketball IQ of a brick....when Denver crumbles, it typically starts with him

[Drachen]

Fun Fact : For all you sneaker heads those shoes J.R Smith are wearing (Cool Grey 11's) come out December 23rd . Pretty cool

That is my birthday, but I don't really care about shoes. I have been wearing the same sketcher lowtops (skater style shoes) for about 4 years (as far as sneakers).

[ElNono]

Denver averages 110 points at home for the season...

[anonoftheinternets]

Damn...Nene abusing Duncan like a rental car.

FGM 3PM-A FTM-A +/- OFF DEF TOT AST PF ST TO BSBA PTS
7-12 0-0 5-6 0 1 4 5 2 5 0 1 0 2 19

11-15 0-0 4-4 0 5 9 14 1 4 1 0 4 0 26

Feel free to guess which one is nene and which one is duncan.. :p:

[Sisk]

Love how Ginobili didn't panic with the clock going down. Drove, drew defenders, passed out to a wide open Bonner. Spurs execute so well under pressure.

Such an under appreciated aspect of this team. That was perfectly executed given the circumstance.

[DPG21920]

Bonner is sh*tting, I mean sh*tting on SpursTalk and providing the left over Charmin to clean it up.

[janetcn12]

Can't believed we are leading...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Pop = Belichick

No bad Reggie...agreement there


Pop>>>>> Belichick

[ElNono]

lol JR Dumbass

[SAtown]

Pop doesn't need to cheat

[DPG21920]

A basket here off of the turnover would be great.

[GSH]

Now go up by double digits. Just grinding them down.

[Fireball]

this Spurs team is just crazy !!! this loss to the Clips hurts a little bit, but they are a joy to watch this season ... no problem for me staying up all night

[hitmanyr2k]

Goddamn. The Bulls are trying to trade for that low IQ MF lol. I hope to God we don't get JR Smith.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Pop doesn't need to cheat



This :toast

[CFH]

Parker should've had that one, too easy

[Dex]

Should be a gimme for Parker. He's definitely off.

[Spurologist]

FUCK tp make fuckin layups

[jimo2305]

duncan.. srlsy?

[BanditHiro]

man they are really calling a lot to ticky tacks

[DPG21920]

Spurs with a few bad shots in a row. They need to clean it up.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Regroup guys.....

[Avitus1]

Shit!

[007nites]

Timmay puttin up some wack shots

[Capt Bringdown]

woah, it could get scary here.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Spurs came out of that timeout completely completely ruining all of their hard work in the first 6 minutes of the 4th quarter.


All of a sudden!

[ElNono]

Need to keep scoring

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu starts playing better, TP starts sucking.... :(

[GSH]

Went to sleep on a few possessions in a row and let them back into it.

[timtonymanu]

Getting careless now. Move the ball around.

[Ginobili2Duncan]

Fun Fact : For all you sneaker heads those shoes J.R Smith are wearing (Cool Grey 11's) come out December 23rd . Pretty cool




I will be first in line for those on Wednesday morning.:toast

[Dex]

Nuggets trying to post their last run. Spurs need to dig in the heels.

[HarlemHeat37]

Why did Pop take Bonner off when he's actually playing well?..

So, he has a pass when he's playing shitty, but he goes to the bench when he's playing well?..

[DPG21920]

Spurs have to keep scoring. Denver has too much fire power and a little drought will do the Spurs in.

[Libri]

Execute dammit.

[ElNono]

Shit Richard

[BanditHiro]

fuckk its getting scary

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

still tons of time left...don't breath now..

[TampaDude]

Missed two gimmes in a row...crap...

[Capt Bringdown]

good time for a TO Pop, please!

[Spurologist]

Pop>>>>> Belichick

he was comparing the 2.....that's why I agreed....hard to make the arguement that Pop is better...maybe you win because Bill cheated :lol

[hitmanyr2k]

The Spurs seem to have come out of this timeout thinking the Nuggets were going to roll over and die. They aren't focusing at all.

[Avitus1]

Fucking 3s!

[BanditHiro]

my god hill make something

[ElNono]

WTF, that's not a foul on Hill????

[DPG21920]

Here is the drought.

[TampaDude]

Spurs have to keep scoring. Denver has too much fire power and a little drought will do the Spurs in.

^ this

[longhorn]

What a gift by Nene

[ShoogarBear]

Dammit, stop launching the threes now.

[CFH]

Wow, lucky that alley oop was botched

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs with 5 consecutive bad shots..

Get back to running some fucking offense, stop jacking up stupid shots..

[Capt Bringdown]

goddamnit we don't need quick 3s

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

timmy timmy timmyyy!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Timmy to the rescue

[CFH]

Timmy!

[Avitus1]

Timmy!

[DPG21920]

Tim with a huge basket. Can always count on Tim when you struggle.

[Libri]

Mr. Duncan with a shot.

[InRareForm]

textbook timmy

[HarlemHeat37]

Well, there you go..the Spurs finally run some offense and get a good shot from TD..they should have been executing this offense all game, not jacking up bad shots..

[duncan228]

Duncan winded

[TampaDude]

We could be up by 15 right now.

[ElNono]

We're sleepwalking out there...

[DPG21920]

:lmao

"Tim has already played 30 minutes..."

That is not that much.

[Ginobili2Duncan]

Why is that guy wearing a Heat jersey?

[GSH]

We need some dull possessions with quality shots, not a bunch of jacked up 3's.

[007nites]

timmy should have went to that move earlier

[janetcn12]

Timmy you save the game

[longhorn]

Moneysauce.

[CFH]

Duncan to Parker, excellent

[Avitus1]

Timmy making it happen!

[ElNono]

there we go,, execute

[Cant_Be_Faded]

The ollllll back door play BOYS

[Rummpd]

nice assist to Parker from Duncan

[ShoogarBear]

Two straight plays in the paint. :smokin

[DPG21920]

Tim is just playing so well.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh man...

[Spurologist]

fucking afflolo

[AussieFanKurt]

This will be a quality win if it happens

[Libri]

Duncan winded

Tim is winded and still making shots. That's a leader right there.

[CFH]

Can't be giving up 3's...

[longhorn]

Fuck. Fuck FUCK FUCK.

[oh crap]

oh oh..

[4>0rings]

Don't blow this, please!

[Sisk]

Every time a nugget has driven the lane a whistle is blown.. incredible

[CFH]

Well shit...

[Libri]

:bang

[Spurologist]

that was a carry on Anthony

[Capt Bringdown]

nightmare

[Chieflion]

Melo just too good....

[jimo2305]

but where was the foul???

[ElNono]

What foul??

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fuck...that was quick

[DPG21920]

Spurs took too many bad shots in a row. Momentum is all back to Denver. Spurs have to execute.

[Texas_Ranger]

Geoge is just bad

[Rummpd]

This is a good game but hate to see Spurs lose - Go Spurs

[BanditHiro]

hill needs to sit down

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs melting down right now, they fell asleep after the timeout, those 5 stupid shots in a row really hurt..

It's Manu's time right now, hopefully he has some energy left..run some Manu-Duncan..

[ElNono]

Denver +11 at the line :rolleyes

[TE]

Horrible.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Wow Spurs are gonna need a last second shot to win AGAIN

[Pauleta14]

We just stop playing ..... WTF????

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

...and now we're out of gas.

Still, I don't care what happens. We've played an incredible game.

[DPG21920]

Great defensive teams take a hard foul there in those moments. They don't allow +1's.

[TE]

Denver +11 at the line :rolleyes


That's not a surprise.

[GSH]

That stupid play out of the time out got this started. Then a few more weak possessions in a row. We had a chance to go up by double digits and put them away. Right now they're feeling it.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

ahhhhhhhhhhh man

Let's get it together Spurs

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

...and now we're out of gas.

Still, I don't care what happens. We've played an incredible game.

[Borosai]

Should've left Bonner in.

[Nathan89]

Put Bonner in for Hill.

[SpursDynasty85]

but where was the foul???


True. The bullshittest of fouls...

Gotta feel sorry for those Denver fans, as he is gone before the trade deadline

[TampaDude]

Those five bad possessions in a row were the game. Spurs lost the game right there.

[AussieFanKurt]

christ

[ezau]

Wow, I never thought we even have a chance to win this game and look at us, we're outplaying these mental midgets! Good shit guys!

[Capt Bringdown]

The momentum really changed with those f'n quick 3s. Perhaps the Spurs need to take the L to learn a lesson.

[GSH]

Great defensive teams take a hard foul there in those moments. They don't allow +1's.

This.

[007nites]

PNR Manu and Tim with Tim rolling to the rim.

[janetcn12]

Noooo...c'mon Spurs. We can do it

[TE]

Spurs just need to execute. Plain and simple.

[InRareForm]

ugh!!

[024]

offensive drought. also classic spurs.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Please don't blow this game...

[Trainwreck2100]

fuck you aflalo you dipshit

[Nathan89]

Take Bonner out and you see what happens.

[AussieFanKurt]

...and now we're out of gas.

Still, i don't care what happens. We've played an incredible game.

+1

[Fireball]

or Dice in for Hill

[Danny.Zhu]

Choke?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We just stop playing ..... WTF????

2nd of b2b in Denver. They are exhausted.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

That timeout with 6 minutes to go in the 4th quarter totally KILLED our rhythm.

Five horrible possessions in a row after that timeout.
Needed Duncan to bail us out.

Would be nice to close out a game on Duncan-Points but I'm nervous...

[Spurologist]

...and now we're out of gas.

Still, I don't care what happens. We've played an incredible game.

really? :lol

[TampaDude]

That stupid play out of the time out got this started. Then a few more weak possessions in a row. We had a chance to go up by double digits and put them away. Right now they're feeling it.

Yup...the Spurs missed a golden opportunity there. NFW they win now. Oh, well...at least we made it close.

[BanditHiro]

no foul at all

[jimo2305]

i still didnt see the foul

[TampaDude]

Where the FUCK was the foul???

[GSH]

Those five bad possessions in a row were the game. Spurs lost the game right there.

We're a long way from losing this game. But I'd feel better if Hill was doing anything tonight. We're going to need one of those guys to make a shot or two I think. Maybe Neal? Or maybe Manu still has enough in the tank. But he's looking kind of gassed to me.

[CFH]

Ball don't lie

[Spursfanfromafar]

Ball Don't Lie!

[Capt Bringdown]

Those five bad possessions in a row were the game. Spurs lost the game right there.

I think so. The Spurs had 'em down but snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

They were playing so well, and then the 2009-10 Spurs came to life.

[ElNono]

Rj!!!

[Avitus1]

Rj!
