[Spurologist]

Gary fucking neal

[TDfan2007]

Holy shit is this happening again?!

[L.I.T]

Oh my god. Our bench is ruthless this year.

[Libri]

Neal dagger!! :chestbump

[hitmanyr2k]

If Splitter doesn't get any playing time after this game I'm putting a hit out on Popovich.

[loveforthegame]

Splitter, Quinn, and Neal to the rescue.

[ace3g]

Neal!!!

[AidanNelson2009]

YES !!!!! up by 2 with 6:18 left, C'MON SPURS.

[MannyIsGod]

God damn this game is exciting as shit. This years Spurs might be the most fun to watch in a LONG time.

[boutons_deux]

4th: Spurs 15-4

[janetcn12]

Yes, 1 more

[itsamanuthree]

great game, whatever the final score

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

this team is so fuckin sick and ive never been happier to "fly under the radar"

[BoricuaCJA]

Yeah baby. Neal with it!!!!

[cornbread]

I've never heard a commentator more butthurt about one game than Denver's local guys.

[Cessation]

omg that gary 3 was sick1!!1

[Chieflion]

Keep this lineup on the court. Parker, Blair, Duncan, sit your ass down.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago playing awesome

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

quinn is actually a 10X better point guard than hill..

[Spur|n|Austin]

Gary "Cold as Ice Charlie Murphy" Neal!!

[Muser]

Two things

1) Welcome to San Antonio, Tiago Splitter.
2)Gary Neal has huge balls.

[Admidave50]

Crazzzzy Shit! Go Spurs Go! Give us an early Xmas present!! =p

[Fireball]

All-Spurs White Team plus Gary Neal !!!

Great defense ... first time the zone works this year, but Tiago is awfully close for 3 second calls all the time!

[BlairForceDejuan]

If Splitter doesn't get any playing time after this game I'm putting a hit out on Popovich.

:lol strong username to post relevance ratio

[Capt Bringdown]

Great to see these dudes bonding out there - we ain't seen this kind of spirit since '99.

[timtonymanu]

Splitter has to get more playing time. I dont know how much longer Pop can hold him out.

[KenziE]

Oh mama !

[boutons_deux]

Nuggs back on their heels, knock 'em over.

[Darkwaters]

Gary Choo motherfucking Choo Neal!!!

[janetcn12]

Now...it finally working.

[TIMMYD!]

The TV companion says the score is still 14-11.

[Spurologist]

Neal is a cold blooded assasin....where the fuck is Kevin Harlan..

"HE's A FLAMETHROWER"

[Spurs Brazil]

wtf with those calls

fuck

[L.I.T]

Noticed that as well. After some of his layups earlier they have to follow him and honor his movement without the ball.

Yup, Manu has been great at recognizing the man who gets open on the perimeter. Though, that cross court pass that JR almost picked off was ill-advised.

Splitter has had a great couple of defensive sequences; stripped a ball and blocked a shot.

[CFH]

Gotdamn that call

[Crookshanks]

Keep this lineup on the court. Parker, Blair, Duncan, sit your ass down.

Sounds like a plan to me. Maybe Parker, Blair and Duncan will be more ready to play tomorrow night.

[Cessation]

choo choo1!
neal with it sons!

[TDfan2007]

Billups with a killer move again.

[Darkwaters]

This game has totally been worth waking up at 2:30AM for. Now just get the fucking win.

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck you Chauncey Billups and your trickery!

[Crookshanks]

Was there even any contact on that play?

[cheguevara]

Neal is the motherfuckin truth

[Chieflion]

I fucking hate that move.

[hitmanyr2k]

Cheap bitch move by Chauncey but I like how Neal took it right back at him on the other end. That guy is showing some competitiveness out there.

[Spurs Brazil]

great job Quinn

[L.I.T]

Like that. Neal coming back and forcing the refs to make a call.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

tp better pull his head out of his sorry ass..

[Crookshanks]

Spurs have 4 white guys on the floor - that's something you don't see very often!

[Muser]

This game has totally been worth waking up at 2:30AM for. Now just get the fucking win.

Same here :toast

[janetcn12]

C'mon Spurs. We need to win this home game

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fuck you Nuggets

[spurspokesman]

Just leave quinn in. NEALLLLLLL playing good

[TIMMYD!]

That was a crazy shot by Billups.

[AidanNelson2009]

TP and Jefferson back on.

[TIMMYD!]

Now let's just hope Bonner can hit these FT's.

[Spurs Brazil]

Make the FTs Bonner

[CFH]

WTF Bonner :lol

[Spurologist]

first positive Bonner drive of the season :lol

[L.I.T]

What the fuck is that? That's the second time I've seen TP leave Bonner out on an island.

[hitmanyr2k]

Watching Bonner wheel and deal is comedy. Dude got fouled like 3 times on the way to the rim though :lol

[Dex]

Another damn lung stopper.

[cheguevara]

:lmao bonner

[CFH]

Oh, now you wanna hit free throws...

[Spurs Brazil]

a stop now.

[Chieflion]

Bonner got bailed out on that one.

[Crookshanks]

Parker is the point guard and he's just standing there - he should've been going to get that ball from Bonner.

[Muser]

TP wtf? You just left Bonner on his own.

[Drachen]

Tiago is grabbing that rebound like it's playing time!!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

wow

[CFH]

Goddammit!

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

[ohmwrecker]

Al Harrington might be the only dude in the league that Bonner can drive on.

[Spurs Brazil]

damn we can't get a break

[Spur|n|Austin]

Great game. Horrible officiating. Some of the worst I've seen all season.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

What was that!?

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Damn

[Spurologist]

fuck this bullshit lucky breaks for denver

[itzsoweezee]

come on neal.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice job Tiago

[CFH]

Timmy and Manu in

[janetcn12]

TP. What's going on...

[timtonymanu]

damn it needed that board

[Darkwaters]

That was a very sloppy series right there.

[Libri]

Tiago is out. Probably won't see him in a long time. :depressed

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Cheap-ass free throws keeping Nuggets in the game....

[Dex]

If Bonner could rebound, he'd be incredible.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Parker really should not be out there

[TDfan2007]

Lawson making Tony look silly out there.

[Spurs Brazil]

get Tony out, terrible on both ends

[AidanNelson2009]

fuck, TP misses jumper.

[Texas_Ranger]

Parker sucks tonight,

[hitmanyr2k]

Lawson looks like he was inspired by Earl Boykins last night.

[TIMMYD!]

Down 2. Fuck.

[Crookshanks]

all those missed freethrows just might bite us in the butt tonight

[L.I.T]

I have no idea where TP is at this game. He's just getting abused on the defensive end and looking like shit on offense.

[Spurologist]

tp sucking big time

[Capt Bringdown]

Can the Spurs get a clean stop without fouling?

[ohmwrecker]

Great game. Horrible officiating. Some of the worst I've seen all season.

Neal fouled.

tee hee

[Fireball]

Quinn in for Parker please ...

[Chieflion]

Tony, get out please.

[timtonymanu]

damn TP just sit your ass down.

[Muser]

TP Sucking ass

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck Tony

[TIMMYD!]

TP is just fucking it all up tonight. Bad passes, bad defense.

[Crookshanks]

tp sucking big time

TP needs to be on the bench - he's not helping at all tonight

[Dex]

Parker promptly picking up where he left off.

[Texas_Ranger]

LOL Parker. wtf is he doing!!!!!!

[L.I.T]

Tp again.

[janetcn12]

This is going to be an interesting game...C'mon Spurs

[loveforthegame]

Terrible. Thanks Parker.

[BlairForceDejuan]

Cut that bulllshit out bonner ffsssssssssssss

[Nathan Explosion]

Bonner has to take that shot.

[AidanNelson2009]

It's all Nuggets again. c'mon Spurs, great comeback, keep it going.

[Spurologist]

fucking tp

manage the fucking game :bang

[TIMMYD!]

Not shooting FT's what the fuck? Seriously, what the fuck?

[itzsoweezee]

shoot the ball, bonner

[Dex]

Why the FUCK is Matt not shooting free throws?

[Crookshanks]

Jr Smith was hoping for a foul call there

[Spurs Brazil]

how the hell Bonner was not shotting FTs

FUCK REFS

[hitmanyr2k]

You have to like Denver's strategy. They're blanketing Ginobili and are gonna make someone else beat them.

[TIMMYD!]

Manu 3333333333333333333333333333333333

[Chieflion]

Bonner receiving his superstar treatment.

[itzsoweezee]

gotdamn, this team is playing downright stupid. boneheaded play after boneheaded play.

[Nathan Explosion]

How you going to leave him that wide open?

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Manu!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

For treesssss

[Spurologist]

mmmmmmmaaaaaaannnnnuuuuuuuuu 3333333333333333333333

[L.I.T]

Starters are killing the Spurs. Absolutely making shit decisions on both ends, coupled with a serious lack of energy.

Ok...except for Manu with the 3.

[hitmanyr2k]

And just as I say that Ginobili gets a steal and hits a three :lol

[Cant_Be_Faded]

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees HEATING UP!

[SAtown]

O MAMA!!!! :lmao

[Spurologist]

Elliott: Afflalo needed GPS to locate Manu on that play

:lmao

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu's heroics to the rescue again.

[CFH]

Alright Manu!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Starters are killing the Spurs. Absolutely making shit decisions on both ends, coupled with a serious lack of energy.

Ok...except for Manu with the 3.

That's why Pop went to a nearly all 2nd team lineup to get us back in the game.

Oddly enough, this worked against the Nuggets last time

[AidanNelson2009]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 333333333333333333333333

[Nathan Explosion]

If the Spurs can pull out this game, this is exactly the type of game I was talking about earlier. They have no business being in this game, and yet, here there are with a chance to win it.

[Spurs Brazil]

I hope we see Neal in and Parker out after the timeout

[TampaDude]

Manu Tres!!!!!

[janetcn12]

Manu again...awesome...Thank you

[Darkwaters]

Afflalo kills me. Got completely dropped off there.

[Dex]

Manu needs to run the point. Put in Neal to shoot.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

I hope we see Neal in and Parker out after the timeout

one can always hope..

[Fireball]

gotdamn, this team is playing downright stupid. boneheaded play after boneheaded play.

yeah, really a bad game :rolleyes

[Crookshanks]

Elliott: Afflalo needed GPS to locate Manu on that play

:lmao

That's what I miss having league pass. Glad we've got the Spurs feed tonight :downspin:

[Muser]

I hope we see Neal in and Parker out after the timeout

:tu

[BlairForceDejuan]

lmao DB

[MI21]

Man that dribble move Manu put on Afflalo to set up that 3 was very, very nice.

[Darkwaters]

I hope we see Neal in and Parker out after the timeout

Yea, Parker hasn't done much of anything in a long time. Neal and Manu are executing down the stretch. Let them play it out.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

crofl at Blair as santa

[janetcn12]

If we play it right, we will win...c'mon Spurs...Manu

[TIMMYD!]

TD traveled. Shit.

[CFH]

Timmy travel, agh...

[Libri]

come on Tim

[Dex]

Fucking splendid time for a turnover.

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck

[spurs1990]

i hope we see neal in and parker out after the timeout

+1

[Drachen]

DeJuan Blair walks like a drunk santa... LOL like Dan Akroyd from Trading Places.

[duncan228]

:( Duncan

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Amazing how many times this veteran teams sucks out of time outs

[Muser]

:lmao at Santa blair.

[loveforthegame]

Starters have really sucked tonight.

[AidanNelson2009]

Neal in for Bonner wtf ?? get Parker OUT.

[TIMMYD!]

Neal 33333333333333333333333

Clutch mofo.

[BlairForceDejuan]

Neal is the absolute truth.

[CFH]

Neal 3! That boy is nasty!

[Darkwaters]

lol Blair as Santa

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Oh mama! Neal for treessssss

[Spurs Brazil]

So great

[Libri]

Gary Neeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaal!!

[TampaDude]

Neal 33333!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Neal you the man.

[BoricuaCJA]

If the Spurs can pull out this game, this is exactly the type of game I was talking about earlier. They have no business being in this game, and yet, here there are with a chance to win it.
Yeah, and that's what championship contenders do.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Gary "Cold Mother Fucker" Neal

[Spurologist]

nnnnneeeeeeeeaaaaal 33333333333333333333333

[Dex]

:lol Pop going small ball in the clutch.

[hitmanyr2k]

Neal has no fear. No hesitation. Damn

[TIMMYD!]

RJ blocked billups. Fuck yeah.

[BlairForceDejuan]

holy shit RICHARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[itzsoweezee]

coldblooded

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh my god, i can't believe it. NEAL WITH IT!!!

[L.I.T]

That's why Pop went to a nearly all 2nd team lineup to get us back in the game.

Oddly enough, this worked against the Nuggets last time

Our bench is surprising in terms of their ability to change a game, even without Hill and Anderson.

And Neal with a 3.

[Nathan Explosion]

Damn RJ. Would have blown the roof off with that one.

[loveforthegame]

Big block by RJ.

[Crookshanks]

thank you Gary Neal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spurspokesman]

Gary neal is the truth and he is proving it

[Libri]

RJ with a GTFO block!

[Muser]

Gary Neal..Holy fuck

[CFH]

Rebound, gotdammit!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Wow, exciting game

[BoricuaCJA]

What a block!

[hitmanyr2k]

That Jefferson three would have blown the roof off like House Party. You have to make that Jeff :lol

[BlairForceDejuan]

[Spurs Brazil]

[CFH]

Neal with it Nuggets! :D

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

0 mama! CHOO CHOO!

[duncan228]

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

You cant stop Neal!

[ShoogarBear]

Neal = Stone Pure Shooter

[TIMMYD!]

Neal ices the game. I fucking love that guy. Where's that Neal with it picture when you need it?

[L.I.T]

Neal with the mid-range!

[MannyIsGod]

BRB buying a Gary Neal Jersey

[janetcn12]

Yes, finally...

[TampaDude]

Neal is off the fucking chain!!!!!

[Crookshanks]

[spurs1990]

Alll the women in San Antonio better hook up Gary tonight!!!

[Muser]

God damn Neal..God damn..

[tomtom]

Damn Neal is the real deal :lol

[Libri]

22 points for Neal

[ShoogarBear]

That Jefferson three would have blown the roof off like House Party. You have to make that Jeff :lol

The refs would have had to call the game at that point.

[Crookshanks]

Neal is definitely the player of the game tonight! TD, Parker and Blair need to be carrying his bags to the plane tonight and then giving him a foot massage!!! :lol

[loveforthegame]

Splitter and Neal with the game ball tonight.

[timtonymanu]

I love you Neal!!!

[Nathan Explosion]

Yeah, and that's what championship contenders do.

That's what I was telling people when they were complaining about the Spurs having to pull games out of their collective asses. I said that while they shouldn't be going down to some of these teams (which is very disappointing), the fact that they're fighting back and finding ways to win games was just as impressive as the former is disappointing.

Contenders find ways to win games when they don't have it. The Spurs have done that. Let's hope they do it tonight again.

[Calavera]

ROY hahahah
