Game Blog: Suns @ Spurs - Dec. 20

[Spurs Brazil]

TD with a great 3rd quarter

[DPG21920]

RJ is having a nice all around game this second half as well.

[Jason R]

Dejuan with 10 points 8 rebounds.

[bdubya]

I tuned in on like a 1-point game, went to throw dinner in the microwave, and came back to a blowout. Wow.:toast

(I did get to see Duncan's lay-in followed by grabbing the inbounds pass...like it was easy)

[InRareForm]

whys dudley always play like kobe against us?

[Fireball]

Bonners arms are never short enough for a reach-in foul

[Danny.Zhu]

Neal is everything Mason was suppose to be.

Mason was better than Neal in the first 26 games that season.

[BlairForceDejuan]

Dr Quinn medicine man bishes!

[CFH]

Quinn jumper!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Liking what I'm seeing from Quinn.....

[Libri]

Quinn!!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

14 turnovers by the Suns! Not good for them.....

[Sisk]

I need a Quinn jersy imho

[CFH]

Goddammit Dudley...

[hitmanyr2k]

Quinn thinks he's Pippen using the glass :lol

[BlairForceDejuan]

Neal is the truf

[ShoogarBear]

Jared Dudley looks like Tim Duncan's little brother.

[DPG21920]

Neal with it.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

neal with itttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!sick damn shot wow

[dbestpro]

Neal :)

[CFH]

Neal AND 1! :D

[Juanobili]

holy crap Neal

[janetcn12]

This game is under our belt. Another win Spurs.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

"Absolutely for Nash"
"Absolutely for Jerry"
"Absolutely for 3"

Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. I hate these gay-ass announcers.

[Libri]

Neal is showing no fear driving to the basket.

[Cessation]

wow, gary neal nice shot

[Juanobili]

I. hate. you. Goran.

[CFH]

Son of a bitch!

[ohmwrecker]

whys dudley always play like kobe against us?

If he played against the Spurs every game, he wouild be an all star.

[Stabbin' Cabin]

Dragic!!!

It begins....

[TampaDude]

C'mon, guys...get it to 20+...every fucking time you get it to 18-19, you fuck up and let the Suns come back.

[DPG21920]

Dudley is a quality role player. They have games like this from time to time. Spurs just have to end the quarter like arse, huh.

[Fireball]

fuck you Dudley ... absolutely

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

mother fucking dragic

[Danny.Zhu]

Dudley 22pts 5rebs

[InRareForm]

fucking suns, go away already

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

End of 3rd. Spurs scored 40. Awesome!

[ace3g]

http://d.yimg.com/a/p/sp/ap/a1/fullj.358b31254010aaad931082d278f8ecb3/ap-dd44763c3301411ca8a9f7a7c10320db.jpg

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you Dudley and Dragic.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

But seriously, why can't the Suns just go crawl under a hole. These fuckers keep staying in it.

[Cessation]

dudley, yet another scrub with career game vs spurs, what else is new?

[Crookshanks]

His foot was on the line - that should be a 2

[DesignatedT]

great quarter. ball movement was fantastic

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck Dragic

Quinn with another solid game.

[Jason R]

Quinn really a great pickup. Spurs defense tightened up this quarter and shots finally started going down.

[TampaDude]

Y'all may not realize it now, but that last 3 by Dragic was the game winner for the Suns. :D

[Crookshanks]

see- I was right, it was a 2

[janetcn12]

Awesome Spurs...40 points

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Damn you Duddley

[td_tp_manu]

Can someone tell me if Parker is injured? He played very few minutes as I see from boxscore

[CFH]

Parker! Give him the ball and get the fuck out of the way

[DPG21920]

Parker scoring at will. He makes it look so easy against the Suns. Spurs need to put their foots firmly on their throats.

[Fireball]

dudley, yet another scrub with career game vs spurs, what else is new?

I watch many NBA games and thats just the way it is ... every game one role player has a career game ... its not just against the Spurs that this happens

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

These scrubs are killing us......

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Okay this is definitely the fifth straight game we do not play "good" basketball.

How many times can we eek out a last second win?

This is not good.

[Crookshanks]

Spurs need to play some defense

[BlairForceDejuan]

wth are the bonner bros thinking with PINK wigs. At least spray paint them

[InRareForm]

FUCKING DUDLey

[CFH]

Someone stop Dudley...

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

This scrub Duddley keeps killing Spurs....

[DPG21920]

I said foot on throats, not off the gas pedal.

[ShoogarBear]

Dudley's previous career high was 20.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

And the timeout is called. :bang

[Texas_Ranger]

Whoever guards Jered Dudley should get kicked in the face!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Spurs are playing total total loser basketball

See, this is why you don't hear most of us screaming championship due to our record


we are playing so god damn soft its killing me

[024]

so when did dudley become michael jordan?

[hitmanyr2k]

Ugly lob. Jefferson can get up higher than that lol.

[4>0rings]

http://www.threadbombing.com/data/media/54/Jesus_facepalm.jpg

[Crookshanks]

Dudley already has his career high - and there's still a lot of time left. Spurs better put a body on him fast!

[timtonymanu]

They just love letting the Suns back it in.

[CFH]

And just like that the lead is down to 9...

[Jason R]

Bad start to the 4th.

[jestersmash]

I boldly claim Jared Dudley isn't going to go Dirk Nowitzki on us, and he just takes a massive shit on me by going 10-12 from the field.

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck, terrible Spurs show again

[TampaDude]

Sorry, but we're gonna lose this game.

[Trainwreck2100]

Dudley already has his career high - and there's still a lot of time left. Spurs better put a body on him fast!

no, if dudley is going to beat em so be it, no sense giving another player the opportunity to get hot

[Crookshanks]

And just like that the lead is down to 9...

Spurs took their foot off the gas - I guess they thought the Suns would just quit.

[Fireball]

i cannot believe that the lead has gone down to single digits ... again

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Orlando lost again. Should be good for the Spurs on Thursday if Magic keep losing like this....

[Spurs Brazil]

Suns FG: 59%, yes 59%

[suitedkings]

Orlando lost again. Should be good for the Spurs on Thursday if Magic keep losing like this....

we should be worried about this game.

[Crookshanks]

Dudley Do Right - is pissing me off!!!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

That Jefferson 3 just saved our asse's for a couple minutes....

[CFH]

RJ 3! Thank you!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I hate that we just can't play some freaking defense anymore

[Fireball]

Sorry, but we're gonna lose this game.

everytime you said that before the Spurs won ... :toast

[Rummpd]

Jefferson playing hard!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

we should be worried about this game.
I'm just pointing out.....

[Crookshanks]

RJ 3! Thank you!

Man - league pass is quite a few second behind. You posted that before the ball was even inbounded.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Another 2 for Richard! :)

[TampaDude]

everytime you said that before the Spurs won ... :toast

Exactly... :toast

[Cant_Be_Faded]

ROFL the Suns broadcast on league pass asked a fan question who is the most hated spur?

Ginobili 35%
Bowen 17%
Horry 42%
Pop 5%

rofl

[hitmanyr2k]

Ginobili most hated is definitely based on the 2005 and 2006 playoffs. He murdered the Suns :lol

[InRareForm]

Suns just dont want to get blown out.

[DPG21920]

These announcers sound like little girls. :lol

[Fireball]

RJ to the rescue

[TampaDude]

Okay...this shit is getting annoying...why can't we have a nice, relaxing blowout?

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs defense is non-existent. Time to put Duncan back in

[Spurminator]

Wow, fuck these guys

[Crookshanks]

So Robert Horry is the most hated Spurs player - all because of the hip check heard round the league!! :lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

maybe we gotta start rebounding the ball...

[Texas_Ranger]

Can Tim please come back in the game.

[Pero]

These announcers sound like little girls. :lol

Yup.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Shit, this is looking bad, especially that dunk by Childress.

[CFH]

Shit, not looking good...

[Trainwreck2100]

he wasn[t set

[DPG21920]

Spurs having a horrendous quarter. Just disgusting.

[Rummpd]

Lets go Spurs!

[Spurs Brazil]

we can't get a stop

[CFH]

Make your free throws, dammit!

[Jason R]

Well Spurs getting to the line so that's good.

[Crookshanks]

Grant Hill was still moving. And in other news - Suns are shooting 100% in the 4th

[timtonymanu]

Jesus fuckin Christ. Pull away already.

[TampaDude]

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

[Fireball]

stop argueing Manu ... that was a foul

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

tp has been going 1 of 2 in his last 5+ trips to the line...

[CFH]

Dudley FINALLY misses

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Sink these 2 Parker!

[Rummpd]

Lets go Parker!

[DPG21920]

How is that not a T on Goran????? RJ got one for the same damn thing.

[suitedkings]

Ginobili is getting beat by spin moves regularly these days.

[hitmanyr2k]

Bullshit foul on Dragic :lol Tony Parker using that Kobe "HEY REFS BAIL ME OUT" verbal flop. Hate that shit. Bitch-made way to play basketball.

[dbestpro]

These refs need to go back to the d league.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Woah, that shot was on the rim for a long time. It will probably make ESPN'S "Top Not 10".

[4>0rings]

Wow fucking wow

[janetcn12]

They are taking Suns for granted.

[BanditHiro]

Bullshit foul on Dragic :lol Tony Parker using that Kobe "HEY REFS BAIL ME OUT" verbal flop. Hate that shit. Bitch-made way to play basketball.

just the way the game has been called all day

[DPG21920]

Suns have used their off arm on offense to push off with no calls now on two straight trips.

[TampaDude]

Told y'all the Spurs would not get the lead up to 20+...they hit the wall and the wall whooped their fucking asses. Suns will win this game by 1-3 points. Book it.

How do I know this? Dragic is Magic. That 3 at the end of the 3rd was the GAME WINNER for the Suns. It's a FACT.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

"It just breaks my heart, smiling" - Sun's Announcer

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

this 4th quarter has been going way too slow..

[suitedkings]

Woah, that shot was on the rim for a long time. It will probably make ESPN'S "Top Not 10".

dont know how that wasnt goal teanding since it was on the rim.

[CFH]

Manu!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

The one and only Ginobli!

[BlairForceDejuan]

That manu sidestep is so sick

[Rummpd]

That bad call on the out of bounds turns into a score but nice play by Manu

[DPG21920]

Told y'all the Spurs would not get the lead up to 20+...they hit the wall and the wall whooped their fucking asses. Suns will win this game by 1-3 points. Book it.

How do I know this? Dragic is Magic. That 3 at the end of the 3rd was the GAME WINNER for the Suns. It's a FACT.

No.

[hitmanyr2k]

Grant Hill has the ugliest shot release since Shawn Marion.

[Pero]

How do I know this? Dragic is Magic. That 3 at the end of the 3rd was the GAME WINNER for the Suns. It's a FACT.

So in other words the Spurs will win because this isn't a fact since it was actually two pointer? :lol

[Texas_Ranger]

Bonner sucks

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol doubling fucking warrick? lmao

[BanditHiro]

god dammit pop put duncan in there

[suitedkings]

way to go Bonner!

[Crookshanks]

It's still hard to get used to these high scores. This would usually be a high FINAL score - and we're only halfway through the 4th.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Holy shit, I can't stand these announcers. They say the word "absolutely" ever minute!

[hitmanyr2k]

Whenever Nash gets a wide open shot I expect it to go in.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

The past week straight of playing lackadaiscal and horrible defense and not having a killer instinct is finally catching back up to us.

We could easily be on our way to losing out fifth straight game.

[CFH]

3's ain't falling...

[Crookshanks]

Holy shit, I can't stand these announcers. They say the word "absolutely" ever minute!

Agree 100%. Time to turn the sound down again.

[DPG21920]

Spurs are a dumb defensive team. If you aren't going to be great defensively with regards to personnel, you have to be smart.

Spurs are not smart quite often on that end of the floor.

[Pero]

Holy shit, I can't stand these announcers. They say the word "absolutely" ever minute!

Well just one of them says it that much. :lol

[BlairForceDejuan]

Put the Train in

[Texas_Ranger]

They are shooting 56%... pathetic defense.

[InRareForm]

ugh. shouldn't be sweating this game out.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

These Suns just won't back down. Keep fighting back hard while Spurs are having an ugly, horrendous 4th quarter. Hope Spurs can start fighting back in the last couple minutes. This calls for Manu Ginobli.

[Danny.Zhu]

Fuck.

[TampaDude]

So in other words the Spurs will win because this isn't a fact since it was actually two pointer? :lol

You saw what I did there... :lol

[Jason R]

Spurs better not blow this. Starters have looked decent but outside shooting is atrocious. What is it 6 of 29?

[dbestpro]

The Spurs win games because they usually play smarter than their opponent. Today they seem to be having some brain freeze.

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop sit TD too long.

How many stupid mistakes in this game for us. Unbelievable

[Fireball]

"It just breaks my heart, smiling" - Sun's Announcer

he said "it makes my heart smiling" which is not possible biologically ... absolutely by the way :rollin

[024]

dunno why bonner decided to double off nash.

[Crookshanks]

These Suns just won't back down. Keep fighting back hard while Spurs are having an ugly, horrendous 4th quarter. Hope Spurs can start fighting back in the last couple minutes. This calls for Manu Ginobli.

I hope he's in his phone booth changing :lol

[BanditHiro]

Spurs better not blow this. Starters have looked decent but outside shooting is atrocious. What is it 6 of 29?

most of them being open shots which makes it worse

[Trainwreck2100]

lol special force rangers

[TampaDude]

Spurs should be up by 25 right now...too bad they can't play D here in the 4th.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

god damnit we better hurry up and close out this game.

Ginobili better get the lead out of his ass and score us some points

[DPG21920]

There are going to be games like this throughout a season, especially for contenders. But seeing the mistakes and the consecutive troublesome games is worrisome to me.

[Fireball]

I hope he's in his phone booth changing :lol

not enough space in there together with Dwight Howard

[Rummpd]

Duncan!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

timmy is back...thank god

[CFH]

Timmy!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Tim Duncan to the rescue driving into the paint!

[siraulo23]

was that bonner's fault doubling, or was that a really really late rotation to nash?

[DPG21920]

You are not going to blow every team out, but just play smart solid ball.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

If it weren't for Gary Neal we would be getting blown out by this team.

[TampaDude]

Thanks, Suns...

[CFH]

Make these free throws and get lead back up to double digits

[Danny.Zhu]

TD dominates.

[Jason R]

Neal with 16. Be nice if we had Hill.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

FYI

Duncan 0 FTA's

[Crookshanks]

All right - free throws on a boneheaded mistake!

[BlairForceDejuan]

Bonner said ACCESS DENIED

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

block block and block!

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs continue to display a shocking lack of good basketball sense by jacking up all these 3s back-to-back.

[Rummpd]

3 blocks in a row!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Duncan and Bonner block combo there. Pretty surprising to see Bonner actually block it....:lol

[DPG21920]

Neal is very tough. Scrappy dude.

[CFH]

Childress getting stuffed left and right

[Fireball]

Gary Neal deserves this playing time at the end of this game

[Trainwreck2100]

lol childress you dumbass

[BanditHiro]

Spurs continue to display a shocking lack of good basketball sense by jacking up all these 3s back-to-back.

if they are leaving you wide open what the fuck are you suppose to do...

[hitmanyr2k]

That was vintage Duncan.

[024]

finally, good defense.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Thank you Gary Neal! Just saved Spurs there!

[Spurs Brazil]

Our D is much better with Mr Duncan

[007nites]

What a defensive sequence by Duncan!

[BlairForceDejuan]

Gary Brother Darkness Neal

Suns Killer.

[Sisk]

Wow Neal.. wow

[CFH]

Neal is money with that floater

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

neal seal the deal!

[InRareForm]

gary neal is a baller

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Neal's floater >>>> Parker's floater


It's freaking money

[TampaDude]

Neal is on FYYYYAAAAH!!!!!

[Capt Bringdown]

Neal is very tough. Scrappy dude.

Shades of Mario

[Texas_Ranger]

cho chooo!!!!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Gary Neal has 21 points? Geez, I thought he had around 10. Gary Neal is phenomenal!

[024]

damn neal...

[Cessation]

Neal running a train on the sun!!!
Choo!! Choo!!

[Hooks]

CHOO CHOO!

The G-Train is tearin it up!

[Crookshanks]

Time for the Suns to wave the white flag!!!!

[TIMMYD!]

This is probably the last we'll see of Tim: 20 pts, 15 rbds, 6 asts, 3 blks. Great night.

But Neal is having an even better one with a career-high 21 pts.

[DesignatedT]

real deal neal baby

[dbestpro]

Neal has got game.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Gary Neal can get that floater off against any team that chooses to respect his 3 point shot.

[007nites]

Duncan and Bonner block combo there. Pretty surprising to see Bonner actually block it....:lol

Bonner thought he was Robinson there for a second.

[Spurs Brazil]

What a great game by Neal

[carina_gino20]

:lol what has gotten into gary?

[Dex]

Who needs the Hairston Coalition or the Church of Mahinmi?

We got the Neal Express.

[Danny.Zhu]

Neal career high...

[DPG21920]

Tim moving the ball, playing so well this half. Night and day difference from the first half. Neal with a nice game.

Spurs have been up and down, but looking back, they have found ways to win and win by a lot of points with their main guys barely even playing.

It is pretty remarkable. If Tim/Manu/TP had been playing 38+ MPG, this team would look even better.

[timtonymanu]

Neal again!!!!

He's badass.

[siraulo23]

we finally pulled away...
phew

[spurs1990]

Gary Neal my favorite Spur.

[Libri]

Gary Neal has 21 points? Geez, I thought he had around 10. Gary Neal is phenomenal!

And he's doing it without depending on the 3. Most of his points have come on drives to the basket and mid range jumpers.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs with a quick 8-0 run since TD is back

[Jason R]

Gary Neal definitely keeping the Spurs ahead.

[Capt Bringdown]

I don't like the sloppy play in these last few games, but I love the fact we got different folks stepping up.

[TampaDude]

Hopefully, the Suns have shot their wad, and we can close this shit out now.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Ginobili with a +25 tonight..............

[Gutter92]

Real deal holy Neal

[007nites]

Tim put up so MVP type numbers tonight once again.

20 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 blocks. In 28 fricken minutes!

[Crookshanks]

Gary Neal my favorite Spur.

He's definitely a great find for the Spurs. He's another one who will have other GM's doing this: :bang

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Neal's floater >>>> Parker's floater


It's freaking money

Love Neal's floater, but that's a big call. When Neal has hit it consistently in the Finals over elite defenses like the Piston's we'll talk. ;)

[Fireball]

the Suns are thinking the same thing about Neal as we do about Jared Dudley and his offensive outing tonight

[janetcn12]

Wow, Neal awesome play

[timtonymanu]

I love Neal. Mason in that situation would still jack up the 3 or pass it out. If Neal can't get the 3, he drives in and shoots a floater.

[Crookshanks]

GO...AWAY...SUNS!!!!!!!!!!! Just give up already

[Danny.Zhu]

Tim put up so MVP type numbers tonight once again.

20 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 blocks.

We need to vote.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Looks like we'll have an actual blowout tonight compared to the last 3 tight games.

[spurs1990]

Gary has some serious balls though. He's a born scorer...fearless around the hoop. I don't think I'm exagerating either.

[Crookshanks]

Manoo Ginobili - this announcer is lame

[DPG21920]

I keep bringing this up, but no one ever responds. I guess I am the only one amazed at how the Spurs can win with their best players so limited in minutes.

[TampaDude]

Spurs got this...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

LOL manu putting his abused-towel on udoka's shoulder (like he did to finley) :tu

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Tim put up so MVP type numbers tonight once again.

20 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 blocks. In 28 fricken minutes!
Holy shit! C'mon Tim! Get 4 more assists!

[Fireball]

I keep bringing this up, but no one ever responds. I guess I am the only one amazed at how the Spurs can win with their best players so limited in minutes.

yeah, but with less sloppiness this would have been a blowout and Splitter could have played the whole 4th quarter ...

[Texas_Ranger]

Matt Bonner get the fuck out!

[TampaDude]

EXTREMELY smart timeout there!!!
