Game Blog: Spurs @ Pacers - Jan. 7

[timtonymanu]

Thank you Manu!!!

Fucking have 20 times more the heart than Hill, RJ, Bonner, and Blair.

[Banzai]

Spurs got this..after all it is Indiana..oh wait lol..

[AidanNelson2009]

About time, 2 points down.

[ElNono]

lol Pacers

[Fireball]

Spurs are just killing me with this kind of play

[ElNono]

We're close again... bring back the Bonner/Blair frontline!

[MmP]

Manu is worn out, the last steal was a give up on D action

[spurtech09]

damn wheres the foul when you need one.....

[Crookshanks]

Manu singlehandedly brings the Spurs within 2!

He singlehandedly got them the lead right before the half also. Can he keep it up and win this game?

[GinobiliForTres]

Manu playing D

i see why people call us the spurts.

it's what we play in.

[Spurs Brazil]

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

Tony you're sick, you missed all those shots in the lane. Don't try this again tonight

[flox]

Pacersboard melting down due to the fact that they blame this on the 2 pg set the Pacers are running.

[ElNono]

Tony MIA, Hill MIA... this is going to be tough

[Crookshanks]

i see why people call us the spurts.

it's what we play in.

:lmao now that's funny right there!

[DPG21920]

Lets go boys.

[Tp9gospursgo]

He singlehandedly got them the lead right before the half also. Can he keep it up and win this game?

I say yes.

[spurtech09]

someone else needs tostepup...wheres rj at

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

c'mon get granger to foul out!

[ElNono]

Salvatore will make things right for the Pacers...

[spurspokesman]

Once again, lol at people imploding when the game is still close.
:lolYeah but even if we win this game is beyond forgettable. I really can sense severe beatings ahead with this type of interior play

[AidanNelson2009]

Ginobili has arrived !! Now for the others to step up and win this game.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Timmay

[Capt Bringdown]

Another DNP/garbage-time game for Splitter.

Because we all know meaningless DEC-JAN games are no time to get someone ready for the playoffs.

Guess we're gonna roll with Blair, Bonner & McMummy, and rely on our great perimeter D to make up for their deficiencies.
2nd round cannon fodder in other words.

[CFH]

Timmy J! Tie game

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

duncan's jumpers are wet last few games

[Rummpd]

we are tied!

[mystargtr34]

These losses will wind up being important to the Spurs..in terms of improving as a team... ok maybe not 3 in a row :lol but they easily could have said maybe New York had a fluke night and the Boston loss was due to a back to back...

Getting smacked by the Pacers should be a good reminder to everyone this team needs to improve to simply be in the mix.. let alone win the championship.

[L.I.T]

Tie game. TD's jumper has been on for a while now.

Team looks better on D with Dice.

[CFH]

Dead ball foul, shit!

[Cessation]

wow hill has developed a vagina, shoot that corner three, its his shot

[ElNono]

What did I tell you?

[Muser]

Tie game.

lmao spurstalk posters

:cry Spurs suck!!! :cry

[Crookshanks]

now we just need some timely 3's to steal this game. Let's hope the Spurs "insult" the Pacers and they forget to play smart basketball for all 48 minutes.

[flox]

Dead ball foul!?!?!

[Chieflion]

McDyess, what the fuck are you doing?

[AidanNelson2009]

Timmy :D scores level

[InRareForm]

fuck these refs

[timtonymanu]

fuckin fouls

[Tp9gospursgo]

That was a stupid call.

[Spurs Brazil]

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[spurtech09]

hill needs to shoot the ball....damn refs with ticky tack fouls...thats what killed us in the other 2 games spurs lost...refs killing us

[spurspokesman]

wow

[Rummpd]

Win this game!

[CFH]

Tied back up, surprised there was no foul there

[flox]

Ginobili wow.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

damn it

[Crookshanks]

wow hill has developed a vagina, shoot that corner three, its his shot

I heard the Pacers announcers say earlier in the game that Hill didn't want to shoot anymore - that he looked afraid.

[ElNono]

There's Salvatore again

[CFH]

Defensive 3, oh come on...

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Refs are being SUPER chickenshit with the defensive 3 second calls on SA

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol These refs are horrible..calling that dead ball foul, and now calling a defensive 3 seconds with 4 seconds left on the shot clock, what a bail out..

[Tp9gospursgo]

Refs trying the keep the pacers ahead.

[spurtech09]

defensive tec....bs

[Rummpd]

Shit calls for 3 fts keeping Spurs from going ahead

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you Salvatore.

[Spurs Brazil]

Salvatore playing great for the Pacers

[Fireball]

you can see why this is our best defensive lineup ... disreagrding the T

[Crookshanks]

Spurs get some momentum - and the Refs just kill it. I hate it when that happens.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Of course thats a foul.

[spurspokesman]

my god. just 1 break

[spurtech09]

yeah refs were doing the same thing on the other loses...refs r killing us i tell u

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol refs

[ElNono]

I told you this couldn't be a close game

[Tp9gospursgo]

Salvatore is killing us.

[ElNono]

There's Bennie again

[Creation88]

some bullshit calls down the stretch on TIM

[CFH]

This is ridiculous

[timtonymanu]

how many times do guys take steps at crucial times?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Bennett is the only one fucking blowing a whistle!!!!!! fucking shit

[spurtech09]

now a travel...foul calls

[Crookshanks]

geez - that's what, 3 whistles against the Spurs in under a minute?

[Tp9gospursgo]

Pacers r getting bailed out. Big time.

[MannyIsGod]

Terrible fucking call.

[CFH]

:lol

[ElNono]

Here we go... freethrow parade

[024]

spurs shouldn't be this close anyways.

[Cessation]

I thought spurs are a veteran team, experienced, smart, why are they making such dumbass mistakes?

[Spurs Brazil]

Refs killing us

[objective]

under 6 on the shot clock, you don't need to reach. Even if it is a bad call, you're giving the refs an excuse.

[024]

wtf hill, shoot it.

[Crookshanks]

Here we go... freethrow parade

Hate it - but to be honest, this game never should've been close enough that it would matter. :bang Spurs should've killed the Pacers.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Too much passing. Hill should have taken that.

[resistanze]

:lol Take a fucking shot, jesus.

[ElNono]

Fucking Hill take the shot!!!!

[spurtech09]

forget it

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Okay spurs sucking again.
Game over.

[timtonymanu]

Wow so anti-clutch right now

[Creation88]

you have a wide open FUCKING shot and you TO WTF

[Rummpd]

Come on Spurs bad plays x 2

[suitedkings]

Spurs blew their wad trying to come back

[CFH]

Damn turnover...

[MannyIsGod]

Over passing all fucking night. Shoot the god damn shot.

[biskvito]

lol nobody wanting to take the shot

[CFH]

Dammit Tim...

[ElNono]

wtf

[Muser]

Wow duncan choked

[spurtech09]

:( nooooooooooooo

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill is a fucking coward. Passing open shots after open shots

[AidanNelson2009]

Fucking fouls

[ElNono]

another bailout... wow

[Capt Bringdown]

Ball game

[timtonymanu]

Jesus ... its obvious we're not getting this.

Spurs are too scared on offense and are getting screwed by the refs on D.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Clean. fuck this shit.

[boutons_deux]

mediocrity extreme.

[flox]

Spurs are tired? No one wants to shoot.

[DPG21920]

Tim with two big missed layups in back to back games. Frustrating.

[Creation88]

3 horrible calls on Tim fucking bs

[CFH]

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh...

[024]

why the fuck do people keep passing the ball to parker on the 3 pt line?

[Rummpd]

Shit

[ElNono]

Bring back Neil for Hill

[Crookshanks]

Hill used to have ice water in his veins - he wasn't afraid to take the shot. What is wrong with him now? Waaaay too much passing - everybody's afraid to shoot.

[objective]

seeing George Hill transform into Hedo/RJ/Bonner in the clutch is sad.

[CFH]

Then a technical :lol this game...

[ElNono]

lol T on Duncan... fucking refs

[DPG21920]

Spurs need to execute. Tim getting a T does not help. So stupid. Not the refs fault you missed a layup.

[spurtech09]

another tec...fuck this shit.....screw the refs...

[Rummpd]

Total BS the technical

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

timmy..

[timtonymanu]

Come one Tim. You missed an easy one. Don't be mad.

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK THE refs

[angelbelow]

Just tuning in, shit..

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Three games in a row:

The other team was "hot"
Spurs were overpassing and not in a rhythm offensively
Spurs making mental error TO's in crunch time



We look like a middle of the road team at best right now.

[ElNono]

I normally don't blame the refs, but this is BS

[Chieflion]

Duncan's tech and Granger's 2 missed FTs. What the fucked up game.

[CFH]

And Granger misses both, damn that technical

[Rummpd]

Refs taking this game from Spurs

[Crookshanks]

I told you Pop doesn't want to coach the all-star game. He's just making it look like he cares about these games.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Manu time. (please)

[024]

LOL spurs fans blaming the refs. the spurs are the ones making all the mental mistakes.

[Muser]

Tim being a dumbass.

[flox]

either bring back Neal for parker so that we can have threes or...wave the white flag?

[spurspokesman]

duncan your a vet. come on

[Banzai]

Just have to go with it unfortunately..

[MannyIsGod]

God damn Tim made this a two possession game when there was no need for that. Really bad mistake by Duncan.

[spurtech09]

im telling this is the reason for the loses..damn refs

[AidanNelson2009]

Nice one refs, just bail the Pacers out.

[ElNono]

LOL spurs fans blaming the refs. the spurs are the ones making all the mental mistakes.

We suck on offense, but the Pacers offense has been free throws...

[MannyIsGod]

Three games in a row:

The other team was "hot"
Spurs were overpassing and not in a rhythm offensively
Spurs making mental error TO's in crunch time



We look like a middle of the road team at best right now.


No, they're a good team. Middle of the road teams don't have the best record in the league.

[Cessation]

I'd say its more the spurs playing like ass, than the refs screwing them over.

[Fireball]

Without Duncan we would not even be in the situation to win the game ...

[CFH]

Hill AND 1!

[Pero]

We look like a middle of the road team at best right now.

It's just the Spurs getting back to reality. :lol

[Tp9gospursgo]

and 1 Hill!

[Muser]

Hill grew some balls, about time.

[MannyIsGod]

I'd say its more the spurs playing like ass, than the refs screwing them over.

Refs are bad for sure but they've been bad both ways. Spurs definitely can't blame the refs if they lose this game.

[spurspokesman]

Manu loses one and now its tims turn lol

[timtonymanu]

There you go George. Quit being a pansy.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

No, they're a good team. Middle of the road teams don't have the best record in the league.

Right now? At this moment in time? Travelling by your best player in crunch time? Nothing resembling a rhythm offensively?

right now we do not look good at all

[spurtech09]

finally hill has the guns to make something happen

[CFH]

Defense dammit defense!

[DPG21920]

Get a stop. This has been the bugaboo.

[MannyIsGod]

Without Duncan we would not even be in the situation to win the game ...

Doesn't mean his technical was anything but retarded.

[spurspokesman]

hill

[DPG21920]

Tim. Damn.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh lord

[ElNono]

lol this is sad

[angelbelow]

Hmm, maybe Manu should have held onto that.

[AidanNelson2009]

Nice work there Hill

[Muser]

lol could be equal but Tim had to be a dumbass.

[timtonymanu]

Got the stop. Fucked up the O. Story of the game.

[spurtech09]

charging now lol...freakin refs man...lol r u kidding me.....

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

timmy was already airborne wtf

[suitedkings]

wow dude was inside the circle.

[Banzai]

San Antonio for the win at the buzzer..book it.

[CFH]

Still a chance to win, about to have a heart attack...

[Tp9gospursgo]

uh oh. Manu hits the game winner. Calling it.

[MannyIsGod]

Right now? At this moment in time? Travelling by your best player in crunch time? Nothing resembling a rhythm offensively?

right now we do not look good at all

Its a few games. Thats it. Teams go up and down all season. Playing poorly for a few teams doesn't all of a sudden negate what you've done for 30.

[ElNono]

Can we execute ONE play?

[Crookshanks]

Doesn't mean his technical was anything but retarded.

Spurs are frustrated and it's taking its toll mentally. They're making stupid mistakes that a veteran team doesn't usually make. The turnovers in the last few games have been mostly from plain stupid mistakes.

[Creation88]

fucking hack on Duncan w a no call. fuck this crew.

[Chieflion]

Damn it. Time to win this game. Give the ball to Manu and stay out of the way.

[Capt Bringdown]

Terrible play - bad pass from Manu, stupid move from Duncan

[DPG21920]

Spurs have no shot clock and any score wins it. Get a good play. If it doesn't drop, thats fine. But get a good look. No Celtics garbage.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I want Ginobili or Neal taking this shot.

Parker won't do it.

Tim Duncan is too damn freaking slow for going against young bigs like this (and won't get the call if he's hacked)


Hill will miss

Manu or Neal

[MannyIsGod]

I'm going to especially be pissed at the T if the Spurs lose by one.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

do you guys think the spurs will go deep in shotclock on this play?

[timtonymanu]

How the hell does Hill have 16 points?

[spurtech09]

fire all refs....plz refs just stop

[HarlemHeat37]

Tim is choking pretty badly right now, although I didn't like that attempt..

Spurs have looked terrible for most of this game, but they have a great chance here at winning the game..all they need is 1 shot here, and the rest is forgotten..

[Spurs Brazil]

We need a big one now.

Give to Manu and get out his way

[KidCongo]

The Pacers giving you this game.

[MannyIsGod]

I want Bonner taking this shot!!!!

[024]

sigh.. i almost don't want the spurs to win this one.

[DPG21920]

Its a few games. Thats it. Teams go up and down all season. Playing poorly for a few teams doesn't all of a sudden negate what you've done for 30.

Their defense has been poor all season. It's just now coming back to bite them. I think that is all he is saying. Spurs record is better than they are. But they are a very good team.

[itzsoweezee]

Stop giving the ball to Duncan you fucking idiots. The guy can barely jump. He's not going to score for you.

[Fireball]

timmy was already airborne wtf

and Hansbrough was jumping up ... another dumb call

[ElNono]

Bonner... lmao

[Andy25]

Matt Bonner in wtf.

[Martin R]

come on MAnu, remember, it is the COnseco Fieldhouse !!!! ;)

[CFH]

Manu fouled, now make your free throws...

[Tp9gospursgo]

lol pacers foul Manu.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

ROFLROFLROFL Parker not even in the game at crunch time!!

This foul call actually benefits the Pacers.

[Muser]

Really this early in the clock? urgh.

[MannyIsGod]

Rofl i told you.

[ElNono]

Give to Manu and get out his way

[MannyIsGod]

Damn that was early in the clock.

[DPG21920]

Need a stop. Can they get it?

[CFH]

Spurs up 1, come on defense!

[Chieflion]

1 point lead. Thank you Manu.

[Banzai]

or you can win it at the free throw line lol..

[Rummpd]

We have the lead!

[ElNono]

They'll get bailed out though... Bennie still has an Ace up his sleeve

[timtonymanu]

Fuck I'm scared.

[MannyIsGod]

Their defense has been poor all season. It's just now coming back to bite them. I think that is all he is saying. Spurs record is better than they are. But they are a very good team.

I agree with this.

[Cessation]

DEFENCE!!! you fuckers!!

[spurtech09]

1 point game...spurs lead....now spurs needs a stop....

[024]

like what kori said, spurs won't learn from their mistakes if they win this game.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i just have a feeling the whistle is gonna blow at the other end for the pacers

[MannyIsGod]

15 fucking secs. I'm praying for a steal.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Now lets play some defense. :ihit

[HarlemHeat37]

The Pacers always seem to have fluky game winners, so it wouldn't surprise me here..seeing as how the game has gone(effort/refs/Spurs), I wouldn't be surprised if the Pacers get free throws here, or miss and get the offensive rebound..

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Well I for one am HAPPY AS FUCK that we at least got the shot off.

Play defense for one possession. And we got this.


ONE POSSESSION

[Spurs Brazil]

PLEASE a stop now. PLEASE

[MannyIsGod]

like what kori said, spurs won't learn from their mistakes if they win this game.

They just lost two in a row. Enough is enough!

[Cherry]

Fuck I'm scared.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Why did Manu make his move so early is my only question?!

[Muser]

Spurs D has been great this quarter though tbh.

[ElNono]

So now we need a stop... let's see it

[flox]

Jesus christ my heart can't this. As a fan of both teams this has surpassed my wildest imaginations. If I died now I'd die happy.

[Fireball]

Need a stop. Can they get it?

I have doubts ... Pacers will hit a shot early and the Spurs might have another chance

[MannyIsGod]

The Pacers always seem to have fluky game winners, so it wouldn't surprise me here..seeing as how the game has gone(effort/refs/Spurs), I wouldn't be surprised if the Pacers get free throws here, or miss and get the offensive rebound..

Which is why I am praying for a steal. :lol

[Cessation]

I want Bonner taking this shot!!!!

lol cool story bro

[spurtech09]

plz refs don't screw the spurs

[CFH]

Don't allow a putback either

[Chieflion]

They've been showing those 3 games all game long. Now I am afraid.

[ElNono]

Yes

[CFH]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

[timtonymanu]

Holy shit. We didnt deserve this but we got it.

[Muser]

That's game, lmao spurstalk posters giving up, pussies.

[carina_gino20]

wow

[Cessation]

YES1!! hibbert pulling a blair!!! You dumbass!! hahaha

[sribb43]

Roy Hibbert FAIL :lmao

[duncan228]

Damn. Disturbing the neighbors with all the yelling in this one. :lol

[suitedkings]

Wow they went to Hibbert for the game winner?

[024]

looks like the pacers just out imploded the spurs.

[Banzai]

ok win Spurs..had to win some way.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

go

[angelbelow]

LOL Pacers are horrible. How the hell was this game even close (didn't watch until now.)

[MannyIsGod]

Yessssssssssssssssssssss

[Crookshanks]

Now can the Spurs play good, solid defense for 16 seconds? No stupid boneheaded mistakes and no fouls!

[ElNono]

Pacers are kinda dumb tho :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes!

[Tp9gospursgo]

lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

why make the last one...damn it

[KidCongo]

:lmao Fans gunna be calling for Hibbert to be traded.

[MannyIsGod]

That's game, lmao spurstalk posters giving up, pussies.

Every game with a ton of time left you'll see the "its over" posts. WTF is wrong with these people.

[CFH]

00.8 left

[Cessation]

Cry more muser.

[AidanNelson2009]

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
