Game Blog: Suns @ Spurs - Dec. 20

[BoricuaCJA]

lol at announcers about that Hill blocking foul. I hate these announcers!

[janetcn12]

Wary of Hill

[CFH]

Gotta rebound

[angelbelow]

Hope we blow it open this quarter.. rest TD and Manu for the majority of the 2nd half would be awesome.

[siraulo23]

home cooking calls for the spurs
hehe

[DPG21920]

These announcers are some whiny girls.

[angelbelow]

"Funny how Pop is complaining about the officiating" - Suns announcer haha

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair and Bonner, I hate it

[Texas_Ranger]

this timeouts are boringgggggggggggg

[Crookshanks]

These Suns announcers are not happy at all with the refs. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair with some bad decisions again, he needs just rebound the ball and put back, anything more is too much

[Jason R]

Bad transition defense and good timeout by Pop.

[dbestpro]

Blair and Bonner, I hate it

This.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol fucking suns feed, bringing back the memory

[janetcn12]

Tp coming in for Quinn

[Cessation]

the butthurt is deep on these announcers :lol

[Jason R]

quin is the definion of solid
career 40% from three, and .6 turnovers a game

Yeah I didn't think much of the pickup at the time but he's been solid.

[Fireball]

Bonners arms ... again too short

[dbestpro]

Blair goes on the floor and the team collapses. He just lloks like a duck out of water.

[janetcn12]

Timmm

[dbestpro]

Quota fouls are in effect.

[timtonymanu]

Pop pulls out the Bonner-Blair lineup and the Suns cut the lead.

[Trainwreck2100]

lol blair pointed the wrong way on that out of bounds

[TIMMYD!]

Timmy dunk!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

nice pass!!

[CFH]

Nice pass by Blair to Timmy!

[TIMMYD!]

Lopez has a great hook.

[Refocus]

Holy shit great pass by Dejuan.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Timmy!

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck you dudley!

[TDMVPDPOY]

duncan is a scrub

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fuck

[Libri]

come on Blair

[dbestpro]

Blair. :(

[CFH]

Come on, end this half strong

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fucking zebra

[TDMVPDPOY]

dudley havin a career game against us, fck this

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair in the post is a disaster

[Jason R]

Nash still not having much of a game.

[InRareForm]

Blair can be so fuckin clumsy

[CFH]

Come on Tim, that was a chipshot

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

terrible one on one defense...

[timtonymanu]

Suns getting the homecooking calls..


Oh wait

[DPG21920]

Tim is having one of those can't score nights.

[TDMVPDPOY]

dunk that shit duncan!! wtf is with these weak ass layups

fck granthill

[TIMMYD!]

Back to a 3 point game. We have 3 minutes to get it back up to double figures.

Tim is missing so many chip shots this game. I've counted 3 that should be nearly automatic for him.

[janetcn12]

Hate Dudley and Lopez...

[migol]

I'm not going to lie. This is awesome the Spurs have a great record but if the Spurs continue playing this kind of defense they will not win a championship. I don't get how they let their opponents score 60% and allow them to out rebound them. It hasn't looked good at all in the last few games.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Duncan is going for a career high in missed shots right underneath the fucking basket


DUNCAN WTF

[ace3g]

hey Pop why don't you try Splitter

[DJB]

Timmy can't finish to save his life.

[dbestpro]

Would Tim Duncan like to join the game? Man the interior play is horrible.

[timtonymanu]

Tim needs to stop missing those.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Tim is having one of those can't score nights.

When Duncan has nights like this it really makes me start seeing things like you do...worrying how we might be fucked in a real situation if Duncan just can't freaking score.

[spurs1990]

Whats that 3 or 4 missed layups by Duncan so far?

[Jason R]

Timmy 3 of 8 for six points.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD missing a lot of easy shots and Blair is KILLING us, trying too much on O and completely lost on D. Since he came back the Suns made their run.

[spurs1990]

I think Duncan has over 160 playoffs games.

He's really played more than 15 seasons when you count those.

[siraulo23]

typical spurs-suns game

[dbestpro]

The Suns expose our defense with PFs that play on the perimeter. We have no answer for PF perimeter defense other than Bonner. Blair simply refuses to guard his man outside of 10 feet from the basket.

[BanditHiro]

total meltdown fuck the suns

[Stabbin' Cabin]

<3 refs

[Jason R]

What the hell refs?

[TIMMYD!]

Manu 333333333333333333333

[CFH]

Manu tresssssssssssssssssss!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Gary Neal our best player tonight.

[duncan228]

i think duncan has over 160 playoffs games.

He's really played more than 15 seasons when you count those.

170. :)

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Shit, this isn't looking good.

[Libri]

Nash :/

[migol]

typical spurs-suns gamenope. it is not at all a typical spurs-suns game. last year the suns-spurs games were the 2nd version. in the years the spurs won the championship while beating the suns that was the first version. tonight the spurs are playing the 2nd style version against the suns. this is not at all typical. spurs have always out rebounded the suns in the past and didn't allow them to score 60%. this is nothing like it used to be at all.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Blair!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

This is the fifth or sixth game in a row the Spurs have not played good basketball.

We could conceivably lose five in a row if this keeps up.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

What happened to that 11 point lead? :(

[Crookshanks]

Boy, what a crappy end to the half.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs having so many meltdowns

[Texas_Ranger]

I like how those two 40 year old players are fucking us.

[janetcn12]

Nonnoooo

[siraulo23]

wow phx

[DPG21920]

Spurs had a massive lapse in focus and energy. Missed defensive rotations, open shooter, missed open shots on offense, lack of ball movement.

When TP left the game it turned into a disaster.

[Fireball]

"absolutely for three" ... fuck these announcers

[Jason R]

Blair with the most hilarious shot of the game.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fuck you Robin Lopez you flop.

[jestersmash]

Suns shooting 61%, Spurs shooting 47%. And yet we're tied.

This is looking good for the Spurs. The spurs won't necessarily heat up much more, but the Suns will almost certainly cool down.

[DPG21920]

Weak ass call. Refs with a huge impact this game so far. Bad calls on both teams.

[CFH]

Ball don't lie

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

home calling my ass lol

[Crookshanks]

Yeah right - that was hardly any contact at all.

[janetcn12]

Hope it will better in the 2nd half....Go Spurs Go..we need the win

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Why are the spurs notorious for getting such shit calls at home?
If we had one full season getting Mavs-esque calls at our own place we would be unfadeable.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

"absolutely for three" ... fuck these announcers
I know. That quote didn't even make sense. :bang

[urunobili]

god i cant stand this douche commentators anymore... JEEZ

[Jason R]

Spurs totally lost control of what got them the lead.

[Crookshanks]

outscored 21-7... crap, crap, crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Texas_Ranger]

Why do teams that miss their best players always have a great game against the Spurs????

[Spurs Brazil]

Down only one after a pathetic 1st half, not bad

Bonner-Blair combination started the Suns run.

[timtonymanu]

We were up by 11. Now down by 1. Absolutely unacceptable. Need to be focused that whole second half.

[Crookshanks]

god i cant stand this douche commentators anymore... JEEZ

Yeah - I think I'll be watching the 2nd half with the sound turned off. :p:

[TDMVPDPOY]

pop is crap at defending leads, he goes and put in scrubs to protect leads, and when theres a huge swing he calls a time out to get into their asses, fkn scrubs

[migol]

Why do teams that miss their best players always have a great game against the Spurs????What's more frustrating to that question is that there is no answer. I wonder what things Popovich tells these guys in the locker room during these situations.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Well, it looks like it is half time. Spurs should bounce back.

[Fireball]

only 4 of 18 from the 3-point line ... this will not cut it against hot shooting Suns

[TDMVPDPOY]

we are also get out rebounded .....

[Jason R]

Side note, Heat need to beat the Mavs

[Fireball]

time to see what Miami and Dallas are doing ... well, tied game in the 4th quarter

[Stabbin' Cabin]

god i cant stand this douche commentators anymore... JEEZ

just wait till Scott Williams starts bragging about his championship years with the Bulls...it's inevitable

[ElNono]

It's the defense, doofus... When a guy like Dudley, who was scoreless against OKC last night is in double figures midway through the game, you know you have problems... Hopefully Nash and Hill will show tired legs in the second half, and Dragic doesnt look like the second coming of Magic

[Jason R]

I certainly hope he's not the sexing coming of Magic.

[Jason R]

I'm just saying that man got around.

[kuato]

No spurs on Argentinian TV !!!!!!!!! and i can't use league pass !! :bang

[ElNono]

I certainly hope he's not the sexing coming of Magic.

lol iPhone autocorrect ftw :lol

[ElNono]

Gentry also abusing some matchups, like Manu can't guard Hill... Grant attacks everytime Manu is on him.

[jestersmash]

Seriously, Dudley scored 14 points on 85% shooting.
Lopez scored 12 points on 100% shooting.

That's not going to last. We're not dealing with Dirk Nowitzki here, we're dealing with Robin fucking Lopez and Jared fucking Dudley.

[SourCandy]

stupid wayne wright commercials.

[Fireball]

Mavs lead by 5 with 2:27 to go ... they really are a damn good team

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Meanwhile Jason fucking Terry is flying around like a turtle-headed Jet and the Mavs are about to get a quality win on the road at Miami...

[Texas_Ranger]

Mavs lead by 5 with 2:27 to go ... they really are a damn good team

don't worry. They'll choke.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Mavs lead by 5 with 2:27 to go ... they really are a damn good team
Agreed. They're looking really good this year. (Like every other regular season year.)

[ElNono]

Mavs lead by 5 with 2:27 to go ... they really are a damn good team

Either that or they're gonna choke again :D

[Fireball]

Agreed. They're looking really good this year. (Like every other regular season year.)

but better defensively ...

[jjktkk]

pop is crap at defending leads, he goes and put in scrubs to protect leads, and when theres a huge swing he calls a time out to get into their asses, fkn scrubs

What do you want him to do, just keep the big 3 out there all game?

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Mav game down to 1 point. Starting to even out.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Jason Terry is so clutch in the regular season it's comical.....he is the perfect Maverick

[Texas_Ranger]

Dirk choked and then Terry

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Damn you Jason Terry. There goes another 3.

[CFH]

Timmy dunk to get the 2nd half started

[duncan228]

Hope that gets Duncan off on the right foot for the half.

[BanditHiro]

wtf please go in

[BanditHiro]

5 point swing!!!

[Libri]

Manu 3333333333!!

[DPG21920]

Huge play by Tim. Great steal and pass. Lets see if that leads to good things.

[CFH]

Manu tressssssssssssssssss!

[duncan228]

:spin Duncan to Manu!

[CFH]

Parker 3! Make it rain!

[ace3g]

lol, Parker banks the 3 from the corner

[DPG21920]

Bank corner three. Hardest shot in basketball.

[Libri]

That 3 by TP looked like it came off the backboard. hehe

[Tp9gospursgo]

Off the glass!!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Hope that gets Duncan off on the right foot for the half.

:tu

tp banked in a three from a corner, wait what?? LOL

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fuck, was too busy watching the Dallas game, didn't notice a 7 point lead by Spurs! :lol

[DesignatedT]

haha tony off the glass.

[Spurs Brazil]

Did Tony bank that 3?????

[Fireball]

Tony banks in the corner 3 ... wooohooo

[Cant_Be_Faded]

How is it that Dirk RARELY touches the ball in crunch time against the Heat....yet against us he's nailin daggers left and right?

[Crookshanks]

Now that's the way to start the 2nd half!!!!

[007nites]

air current!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

I hate that Grant Hill scrub....

[janetcn12]

Great job TP. Hope Eva u r watching...

[timtonymanu]

There's the Big 3 taking over.

[TIMMYD!]

How is it that Dirk RARELY touches the ball in crunch time against the Heat....yet against us he's nailin daggers left and right?

You could say the same shit for a lot of other players against us too.

[Fireball]

Bank corner three. Hardest shot in basketball.

I once made that shot including turning and fading away ... fond memory

[janetcn12]

Hate Gr. Hill. He is giving us problem

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

1 out of 2....

[Jason R]

Spurs getting back to some solid play.

[BanditHiro]

come on blair dunk that

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

should have dunked that man,...blair..

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Almost and 1 with Blair.....great hustle!

[CFH]

Dammit, almost an AND 1...

[suitedkings]

enough with the ticky tack calls.

[Libri]

Dammit Blair

[TIMMYD!]

Beast looks smooth from the FT line.

[Libri]

nice free throws

[CFH]

4 fouls on Parker, shit

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Looks like Mavericks won again. :bang

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

This is where Spurs need to take advantage of this run and blow out the Suns.

[Spurs Brazil]

We're lucky Frye is ice cold

[007nites]

What does that make Fry 0-10 from 3 point range now?

[BanditHiro]

Looks like Mavericks won again. :bang

fucking regular season mavericks are the best team of the decade

[DPG21920]

They better T up everyone from here on out.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Another great lay-in by Blair! Blair doin' work!

[Crookshanks]

god, these refs are nuts... how in the world can they call a technical on that?

[Fireball]

fuck it ... then Grant Hill should have gotton a T in the first half

[CFH]

Blair with a man's rebound!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

blair just took it away from fried

[Jason R]

Blair has his ups and downs but I'm glad he's on the team.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Ok, it's up to 13 for Spurs. DON'T blow this lead Spurs.

[CFH]

Do work Timmy!

[dbestpro]

Finally. Now that was a Blair rebound like it use to be.

[Refocus]

I hope Grant Hill is okay. :(

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

"This is a warzone" - Announcer

[duncan228]

Hate to see anyone hurt...

[suitedkings]

Dejuan Beast

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

I hope Grant Hill is okay. :(
Yeah, me too. He gets on my nerves, but he's a great player despite his age.

[Fireball]

fuckin Mavs ... streak busters ... and hopefully Grant is not injured

[Jason R]

Hope Grant Hill is alright.

[Spurs Brazil]

good 3rd quarter, much more energy now

[Jason R]

fuckin Mavs ... streak busters ... and hopefully Grant is not injured

Gah. They won? Was hoping for more space in the west.

[Crookshanks]

fuckin Mavs ... streak busters ... and hopefully Grant is not injured

I was torn about the Mavs-Heat game. I wanted the Mavs to lose so we could get some space between us, but yet I really hate the Heat.

[CFH]

Blair!

[Fireball]

Gah. They won? Was hoping for more space in the west.

no, we cannot stop winning games !!!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Wow, Blair is on fire tonight! Another rebound and another bucket!

[janetcn12]

Shit...Mav wins

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol manu and duncan "absolutely" killed that pass

[Rummpd]

Nice job coming out in third Pop must have chewed some #$@

[Crookshanks]

Blair doing it on both ends of the floor!

[CFH]

Blair, WTF, calm down...

[suitedkings]

lol.....ugly!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Woah, what happened with Blair there......

[Mr. Body]

So I turned away from the computer at halftime, came back and it's a 25-5 quarter so far. What the hell happened??

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TD!

[BanditHiro]

that was some insane basketball

[Texas_Ranger]

slow it down!

[Danny.Zhu]

Can somebody tell me why aren't Gortat and Carter playing?

[dbestpro]

I love when Blair is aggressive, but his BBIQ sometimes is really MIA.

[Crookshanks]

That should've been a foul - Blair was definitely hit on the arm

[Fireball]

Warrick lol ... that looked ugly

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair so great at times and so stupid on other, he's young and will learn

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

So I turned away from the computer at halftime, came back and it's a 25-5 quarter so far. What the hell happened??

channing frye.

[jestersmash]

Suns shooting 61%, Spurs shooting 47%. And yet we're tied.

This is looking good for the Spurs. The spurs won't necessarily heat up much more, but the Suns will almost certainly cool down.

It's like I'm prophetic.

Like I said, nothing to worry about. Suns down to a more reasonable 50%, Spurs actually slightly up to 50% now as well, and we have a huge lead.

[007nites]

Talk about run'n gun

[Crookshanks]

Can somebody tell me why aren't Gortat and Carter playing?

They just passed their physicals - won't be eligible until next game.

[Fireball]

Can somebody tell me why aren't Gortat and Carter playing?

not cleared to play ... either its a contractual thing or they still have to be evaluated medically

[janetcn12]

This looks like our game..Suns will be too tired..

[Jason R]

DeJuan Blair really came alive.

[DPG21920]

That was a travel for sure on Dudley.

[Crookshanks]

Suns are looking tired

[CFH]

lolwut ref

[TampaDude]

Blair's lack of height shows. He's a beast, but needs to play smarter.

[Trainwreck2100]

fuck blair had the entire left side open on that play

[dbestpro]

Blair making an impact for both teams.

[janetcn12]

Hate it when the opponents is so lame...c'mon Suns

[DPG21920]

Spurs need to close this quarter out. No more mental lapses. Spurs need to be up double digits going into the fourth.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Blair's lack of height ^always shows.

[TampaDude]

Sniffin' that pussy, but the bitch won't let 'em fuck.

[DPG21920]

Tim moving with a lot more purpose right now. He looks more fluid.

[CFH]

Get it together guys, don't want the Suns to cut into this lead...

[Cessation]

wow wtf is blair doing

[Crookshanks]

6-0 run for the Suns - Spurs need to clamp down

[BlairForceDejuan]

It gets so old watching DB get stuffed :(

[dbestpro]

Blair needs a sit down.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Gary Neal is our best player tonight by far

[CFH]

Bonner! :lol

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Matt Bonner for ttttrrrrreeeessssss

[TampaDude]

Spurs getting SLOPPY...they get the lead up around 18-20, then start pissing it away.

[ShoogarBear]

Bonner showing good hang time on that layup.

[Danny.Zhu]

not cleared to play ... either its a contractual thing or they still have to be evaluated medically

Weird. Magic already put Hedo and Richardson in the game, although they lost.

[Rummpd]

Don't let them back in the game.

[ohmwrecker]

Sniffin' that pussy, but the bitch won't let 'em fuck.

Never funny.

[Fireball]

Bonner hang time ... cannot believe I'd type this

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

neal with it!

[duncan228]

Neal great.

[dbestpro]

Neal is the man.

[BlairForceDejuan]

I'm loving watching Neal. The dude is so relentless.

Once he quits rushing so many of his shots, it'll be even better.

[CFH]

Neal 3!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Duncan! Yes! :)

[CFH]

Timmy! Lead back up to 19

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Gary Neal is our best player tonight by far



Choo Choo is fuckin ruthless!!

[Sisk]

Our passing has been incredible this year

[Johnny RIngo]

As much as I dislike Bonner, I'm glad to see Blair sit down. So much stupid TOs from him in the 3rd quarter.

[TampaDude]

19 again...can they get it to 20??? I think they won't...20 seems to be the barrier tonight for the Spurs.

[dbestpro]

Neal is everything Mason was suppose to be.
