Game Blog: Spurs @ Bucks - Jan. 12

[jjktkk]

you say that like it's acceptable. They need to start starting games better and it starts with blair being removed from the starting lineup and mcdyess being inserted.

As for bogut, i wouldn't double. If i were duncan and that were even suggested, i'd take offense. A guy like bynum, i get it, he's physically overwhelming. Bogut is an inch taller and slightly bulkier than duncan, but the disparity isn't enough that the spurs should be forced to double. Duncan just needs to be more physical and more proactive than reactive.

+1.

[Ice009]

Pathetic foul from Blair. Lucky that's not continuation.

[CFH]

Spurs could have the lead by now but keep blowing opportunities.

[Spurs Brazil]

Defense much more active in the 3rd. Great to see. Now we need to find a way to score

[Banzai]

Spurs got this easily.

[ElNono]

They're handing us this game, and we're just not executing. Somebody wake RJ and Tony up please!

[ElNono]

Spurs got this easily.

Nice jinx attempt... :lol

[Fireball]

Tim can't get good post position anymore. All he does is dribble, realize he can't back his man down, then shoot a fadeaway :(

He is getting older ... you cannot change it. He was too far out this time and should have passed the ball.

[spurspokesman]

We suck on offense. Getting stops but no scores

[Ice009]

Don't worry Matt Bonner is about to come in. Time to party.

[Banzai]

Nice jinx attempt... :lol

Just showing some love.:lol

[CFH]

Pop getting on Hill

[Spurs Brazil]

bad shot TD

[TDfan2007]

Spurs offense looks absolutely awful.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill J

[CFH]

Hill J

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

have y'all not learned anything so far this season? This team is often (not always) a different beast in the second half of games. it generally either finds rhythm offensively (if it has been lacking), and if not that, up ramps the d. Whether they will have the energy tonight given that it is a b2b is a fair question, but i bet this team will look different in the second half.

;) :d

[ElNono]

Bonner... box the FUCK out

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN. REBOUND

Bonner is dead

[TDfan2007]

Neal against Magette is not good.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice play Neal

[CFH]

Neal J

[Fireball]

we eveb cannot get Ilyasova off the boards ... pathetic

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs with 5 team fouls already

[TDfan2007]

Foulfest!

[DPG21920]

TD vs. Bogut is not the match up to go to tonight. The Bucks perimeter guys need to be exploited. TP should have had 30 tonight with who is guarding him.

[ElNono]

Tony with a mental fart... (another)

[spurspokesman]

Refs imposing there will on the game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TD

[CFH]

Timmy J

[Fireball]

Spurs with 5 team fouls already

time for hack-a-Bogut

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 33333333333333333333333333333

[CFH]

Bonner 3! Spurs take the lead!

[TIMMYD!]

This is how we have to fucking play.

[DPG21920]

Finally, the Spurs rebound and push the tempo. Leads to a great look!

[Banzai]

told you Nono.

[spurspokesman]

Bout time bonner

[TIMMYD!]

:lol

Even Malik knows the 3 pointer is the only thing Bonner can do.

[TDfan2007]

lol Malik: "That's the only thing he can do!" referring to Bonner shooting 3s.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

thats right, malik! shooting three is all bonner can do :)

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony playing HORRIBLE. Neal was open. Pass the damn ball

[TIMMYD!]

Flagrant on Hill.

[spurspokesman]

Commentator- "All matt bonner can do is shoot 3's". Correct

[CFH]

A flagrant? What? :lol

[Tp9gospursgo]

That didn't look like a flagrant to me. The reaction by Maggette is what caused them to call that a flagrant.

[ace3g]

how is that a flagrant foul

[ElNono]

lol Matty getting in the way...

[TDfan2007]

That is the pansiest flagrant foul call I've ever seen...

[ElNono]

Newsflash, game is in Milwaukee... ofcourse they're gonna call it a flagrant

[Creation88]

maggette gets upset and they GIVE him the tech shot. BS call.

[spurspokesman]

Phantom calls starting. Good sell by maggette

[TIMMYD!]

Tony playing HORRIBLE. Neal was open. Pass the damn ball

I think Tony's assist average is misleading; if it weren't for our more up-tempo offense this year, his numbers would be about the same as usual.

[NRHector]

lol Malik: "That's the only thing he can do!" referring to Bonner shooting 3s.

negative he can throw bricks also :bang

[Fireball]

Just a fucking bad call

[Mugen]

that's more of a jumpball than a flagrant foul. absolutely ridiculous.

[MannyIsGod]

Congrats to Maggette drawing that with his fake anger at the end of the play. Such bullshit that foul being called a flagrant.

[ohmwrecker]

Malik Rose is my hero.

[spurspokesman]

Refs sensing a spurs run. Theyre paid to see that that doesnt happen lol

[Brazil]

kind of hard foul nevertheless

[ElNono]

Come on.. close game... just get some energy out there

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fuckin zebra

[DPG21920]

Damn, Bogut just acts like Tim isn't there.

[TIMMYD!]

Once Bogut gets position down low there's no stopping that hook shot.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner again

[CFH]

Bonner with the smooth moves :lol

[TDfan2007]

Tim getting abused again. On a positive note: Super hot brunette in row one

[ElNono]

Hill :pctoss

[spurspokesman]

Take that malik lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

versatility my ass

[WalterBenitez]

Tim defense is getting old

[CFH]

Damn, Hill almost had that steal

[Ice009]

This team keeps fucking making mental errors. Smarten up.

[Crookshanks]

Announcers: how can that not be a foul when you played, and a flagrant now?
Well - they've softened up the game quite a bit. Ya think???? :lol


4-point play sucks!

[ElNono]

4 seconds

[ElNono]

/facepalm

[Spurs Brazil]

unbelievable

[CFH]

WTF Boykins with the lucky shot...

[Tp9gospursgo]

why fall for the fake

[spurspokesman]

Bad D timmy. Leaving his feet

[ElNono]

Tony is stuck on stupid... Neal wide open and he forces the shot

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck you refs! Fuck you!

[Crookshanks]

He must've sacrificed a virgin to the basketball gods tonight - that's one lucky shot Boykins

[TDfan2007]

Zarba with a TERRIBLE call.

[Spurs Brazil]

Parker is losing this game by himself. Stupid play after stupid play.

He should be benched for that stupid fucking foul

[ElNono]

BS whistle

[ajballer4]

Maggette is acting his way to the free throw line today

[Supergirl]

Fuck you refs! Fuck you!

EXACTLY my thoughts. refs doing everything they can to give this game to the Bucks

[CFH]

These calls :lol

[ElNono]

Here comes their bench

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

mother fckn zebra

[TIMMYD!]

That flagrant foul ruined any momentum we had going into the 4th quarter. :bang

[spurspokesman]

Pure shame. Bad reffing.

[Fireball]

Tony, that was fucking stupid

[WalterBenitez]

I don't like this match, would be so close and I am getting nervous

[MannyIsGod]

Boykins walks and makes a bullshit shot no call. Bullshit call at half court and they get 2 free throws. Amazing.

[CFH]

Bonner!

[Mugen]

wtf on the last two maggette calls.

[HarlemHeat37]

Maggette is acting his way to the free throw line today

:lol I take it that you've never watched him before..that's his entire offensive repertoire, flopping for fouls..

[Supergirl]

Bonner's midrange jump shot has really improved

[janetcn12]

Go Spurs Go...we know u all can do it...thrash the bucks

[Crookshanks]

I'm wondering if the situation with Eva is starting to get to Tony. It was all over the news that she'd had the tattoo of their wedding date removed.

[Spurs Brazil]

weak call on Neal

[TIMMYD!]

Bucks getting the calls at home.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Well done Bonner

[ElNono]

zebras :lol

[spurspokesman]

Shut up malik lol

[NRHector]

is time for Manu to start floping enough of this shit

[TDfan2007]

This is unbelievable

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Horrible call vs. Neal..refs have been pretty shitty..

[Supergirl]

yet ANOTHER bullshit call against the Spurs

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

where the f is the foul

[FromWayDowntown]

It's funny -- Zarba had a conversation with Manu in the first half in which it seemed likely that he said something like "I'm not going to give you a close call because it looks like you're flopping."

Then he's proceeded to give Corey Maggette exactly that call . . . .

[Creation88]

that was absolutely terrible call on Neal

[spurastic]

Zarba ----enuf said

[TIMMYD!]

Hey look, we finally get a call and all it takes if for Manu to get whacked.

[Fireball]

Bonner shitting on Malik ... another bad foul call follows immediately

[MannyIsGod]

JESUS CHRIST the bucks only offense this quarter has been drawing bullshit fouls.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

is time for Manu to start floping enough of this shit

Nice call :toast

[ohmwrecker]

Phantom foul.

[Supergirl]

who the fuck is Zarba?

[Mugen]

lol at the Bucks crowd yelling "Travel" at Manu, pretty good.

[janetcn12]

Yes Spurs another 3 points...we will will be leading....play aggressive and the game will be SPURS

[ElNono]

Could've been worse... let's make a run and close this shit

[MannyIsGod]

BTW Bonner is Ginger Jesus this quarter. He's playing awesome.

[CFH]

Can't hold onto the damn ball, threw away a last shot opportunity, but only down 1 isn't so bad.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Gosh I hate close games.

[Spurs Brazil]

D much better in the 3rd. If we play smart in the 4th we get this

[Supergirl]

BS, no loose ball foul against the Bucks at the end of the fourth.

Still, we're only down by 1 and shooting the 3 ball terribly. So I still like our chances. It's Manu time.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Fuck the bucks, I hope Manu travels on another game winner in their own arena this time.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Just tuned into the game. This one is looking really close.

[Ice009]

Grab the fucking ball for once. Grab the fucking ball.

[TIMMYD!]

Our defense and rebounding is better than it was in the first half but it still doesn't seem to be good enough because our offense is failing us.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

major brain fart there is dice

[Capt Bringdown]

RJ is MIA tonight

[Fireball]

There it was again ... the bad Dice pass

[Crookshanks]

well at least the Spurs took 6 points off the lead. In other news - the Mavs lost tonight but it looks like Boston is going to win.

[ElNono]

Somebody turn off Tony's cell phone and tell him to get his head into the game

[ZoParkerHill]

who the fuck is Zarba?

Referee

[ohmwrecker]

First team to 80 wins!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Well, I called the shit out of that at halftime! Told you they'd be better at one end or the other. :D

[Tp9gospursgo]

fuck the bucks, i hope manu travels on another game winner in their own arena this time.

+100000000000000000

[TDfan2007]

4th quarter needs to be all Manu. Everyone else just needs to get the hell out of the way. A little defensive resistance from Tim would be nice too. He has fouls to spend.

[ajballer4]

:lol I take it that you've never watched him before..that's his entire offensive repertoire, flopping for fouls..

It's weird. Ive seen him a ton. I cant believe Ive never noticed

[Spurs Brazil]

finally a call for us

[Fireball]

well at least the Spurs took 6 points off the lead. In other news - the Mavs lost tonight but it looks like Boston is going to win.

Did not expect Boston to lose against SAC anyway ... and Western Conference standings are more important

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal 33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 3

[CFH]

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

[Brazil]

[ElNono]

Magette is flop central

[spurspokesman]

Neal with it

[Brazil]

Neal with the rookie treatment

[Spurs Brazil]

2 fouls already

[ElNono]

This is ridiculous :lol

[Supergirl]

Hmmm, Spurs 3 pt shooter gets hot, refs call a foul on him IMMEDIATELY on the next play...coincidence? I think not.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Fuckkkk

[spurspokesman]

Sheesh

[TIMMYD!]

Gooden threw it off the glass, that motherfucker.

[TDfan2007]

lol Magette is going to foul out our entire team. Bonner has been great this half.

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice J is MIA

[Creation88]

refs making the game about them. terrible basketball.

[TIMMYD!]

Bonner 333333333333333333333333333333333333

[TIMMYD!]

Spurs up 6! Keep it up bitches!!

[ohmwrecker]

Who is Boykins guarding and why don't they have 30 points?

[Banzai]

lol bonner.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

can't stop bonner CROFL

[Brazil]

call him magic bonner

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Dear Bonner,

Please do this kind of stuff in the playoffs.

[ElNono]

I told you their bench sucked... thing is, Bogut is probably coming right back

[spurspokesman]

Bonnnnnerrrr lol

[TDfan2007]

Bonner shitting all over the Bucks the half with 3s and floaters off the dribble. LOL this shit is gold.

[MannyIsGod]

GINGER JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah baby!

[dbestpro]

Bonner plays good ball as a bench player. Blair as a starter, not so much.

[DAF86]

Ginobili dominating every aspect of this game.

[spurspokesman]

Who is Boykins guarding and why don't they have 30 points?
He must be guarding Bonner:lol

[ajballer4]

Even when Bonner makes a good play, it's still hilarious to watch

[janetcn12]

Finally we are leading....yes Spurs...go spurs go

[jjktkk]

Manu outflopping Magette :lol

I wonder if they exchange flopping techniques during the offseason. :lol

[Fireball]

Dice J is MIA

I don't understand Coach Pop playing him on a back to back ... Splitter really is the doghouse of doghouses

[Mugen]

Dear Bonner,

Please do this kind of stuff in the playoffs.

lol fuck that.

love,
Matt Bonner

[Ice009]

Bonner has been great this half.

Bonner has played a lot better. If Pop makes a change in the starting lineup it might not be for Splitter, but for Bonner instead.

[TIMMYD!]

Bonner 3333333333333333333

He can't be stopped!

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 3333333333333333

[CFH]

Bonner making it rain!

[Trill Clinton]

Bonner!!!!!!!!:king

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Matt Bonner again! He is destroying the Bucks!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

And the Spurs continue the trend by sleepwalking through the first half, then picking up their defensive intensity in the 3rd Q, and their offense in the 4th. Told ya. They've done it all year. Veteran team that knows when to push it up a level. :toast

[Supergirl]

If Matt Bonner is not in the 3 point shoot out it will be a crime.

[TDfan2007]

lol Pop won't sub Bonner out even when he's hurt.

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN Manu

[Crookshanks]

2 for them - 3 for us... I'll take that every time! Go Bonner!!!!!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

lol fuck that.

love,
Matt Bonner
:lol

[blkroadrunners]

Ugly 3 by Dooling

[MannyIsGod]

I think he'd win it. He's got more of a set shot than a jump shot which is great for that thing.

GINGER JESUS!

[janetcn12]

Awesome Spurs....Great game bonner & ginobili...

[Spurs Brazil]

Great job Dice

[CFH]

Calm down Bonner, good thing Dice got the rebound

[Banzai]

Nono my words of encouragement worked.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This year's Spurs are very deep in role players who can go for 20 on any given night - Hill, Neal, Bonner, Jefferson (about time he found his scoring game again).

[Brazil]

bonner dominating every aspect of this game.

fify

[Crookshanks]

Spurs really turning it up in the 4th. I guess it took them that long to get warmed up since it's sooooooo cold up there in Minnesota.

[JohnnySixString]

Gingers DO have souls!

:rollin

[Supergirl]

Anyone else notice Hill is starting to get the same pattern of getting into opposing players heads and getting them to lose their cool? Very Bowen-esque. Good to see.

[Brazil]

Great job Dice

when you rebound everything is easier

[dbestpro]

Nono my words of encouragement worked.

Could you talk to Blair?

[janetcn12]

Bonner is the beast tonight

[CFH]

Manu on the bench, hope this doesn't kill the offense

[DAF86]

fify

Bonner is dominating every aspect of shooting.

[Fireball]

Ginobili gets a breather ... don't like it

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

How are all the half-time cliffjumpers feeling now? Isn't that about the 25th time some of you have cliff-jumped at the half? You've got more lives than a bunch of cats! :lol

Actually, what is the collective noun for cats? Anyone? A meow?

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Shit, Bonner finally missed.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great defense

[Brazil]

very good D TP

[CFH]

Not hitting shots but at least the Spurs are getting offensive boards

[WalterBenitez]

Is there any way to send RJ to Alaska or even better to Australia?

[Crookshanks]

great defense Spurs!

[TIMMYD!]

So many opportunities to pull ahead in the last 2 minutes but we're missing everything.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD just GREAT

[CFH]

Timmy off the glass!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Timmah!

[TDfan2007]

Timmy off glass!

[ohmwrecker]

I don't understand Coach Pop playing him on a back to back ... Splitter really is the doghouse of doghouses

If Pop's dog had a pet dog and that dog had a guest house . . . that's where Splitter lives.

[Supergirl]

RJ not hitting his shots but he does have 6 rebounds and 4 assists...holding his own on D

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Pop just called 4 down and they did not double team. Duncan made the shot.

We should go 4 down the rest of the way until they double team.

[Spurs Brazil]

damn

[Supergirl]

oh really, are we back to the BS calls again, refs?

[TIMMYD!]

Fuuuuuuuuck! Ilyasova And-1!

Timmy rubbing his knee. Uh-oh.
