Game Blog: Spurs @ Warriors - Jan. 24

[Capt Bringdown]

The crowd sure went quiet, I'll give 'em credit for that. If it was LA or Boston they would've been cheering like kunts.

[ShoogarBear]

Damn, nobody's giving Gary air to breath anymore.

[siraulo23]

FUCKKKKKKKK

i saw duncan walk out, what happened? i missed it

[ace3g]

JMcDonald_SAEN Jeff McDonald
Duncan headed to locker room, but walking under his own power. More updates when we get them.

[Tp9gospursgo]

DAMN HILL! Good try!

[WeNeedLength]

Damn George. Actually showed some real balls with that attempt.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

great instead of showing some sympathy they call an immediate call on splitter

Yeah, because referrees should make sympathy calls after players get injured. :rolleyes

[jag]

D Wade would have needed a stretcher

[duncan228]

It looked like the knee just gave, I can't see anything on the replays. That's the worst fear with the tendonosis. He did put some weight on it walking though...

[CFH]

Hill blows the dunk, ugh...

[Bartleby]

Dice has been money on the jumper all season

[ShoogarBear]

The crowd sure went quiet, I'll give 'em credit for that. If it was LA or Boston they would've been cheering like kunts.

You misspelled Dallas.

[Danny.Zhu]

Damn it...

[Crookshanks]

Now that was funny - Dice looks around to pass the ball and realizes no one is around, so he takes the shot himself - and makes it!

[Tp9gospursgo]

D Wade would have needed a stretcher

:lmao

[Spurologist]

Looked to me like he was holding his knee.

yeah but he did roll the ankle....those electrical impulses must've traveled up. It looks more likely to be a strain or slight ligament tear at worst

[DPG21920]

Dice is skying for rebounds

[BruceBowenFan]

looks like his knee just gave out.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

well at least he wasn't grimacing or anything..

[Sisk]

Literally scared the poop right out of me.

You literally shit yourself?

[urunobili]

TD will be ok :) He was walking fine.. he just felt something and got scared I'm sure :)

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

For the cliff-jumping crew: I predict that the D will tighten up in the 2nd half (as it has about 25 times already this year) and GSW will not shoot 58%. :lol

[spurastic]

On the playback, it looked like tim right leg/foot encountered the foot of a warrior player and he went down and hurt his left knee. Please be alright!!!!

[DesignatedT]

i didn't see anything to his ankle. he sprained his ankle too? lol

[Arc]

my heart skipped a beat when i saw duncan down.

[Tp9gospursgo]

He'll be fine.

[Crookshanks]

How about we wait for some news on Duncan before you guys declare our season over! Geez - talk about jumping off a cliff.

[dbreiden83080]

Anything with that knee at all and it is just BAD!!!

Fuck..

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

These Warrior announcers are really great, seriously. They've done nothing but praise the Spurs this whole game, and the other games this season.

[WeNeedLength]

Damn he was 10 feet in front of the trainer walking to the locker room. Hopefully it's nothing.

[IknowU]

DUncan lying their winching in pain. was the worst sight for a spurs fan :(

[Mugen]

i hope he just banged knees

[DesignatedT]

it's all joey crawfords fault.

[ShoogarBear]

Manu just got Manued.

[Spurologist]

manu just got manu'ed

[urunobili]

These Warrior announcers are really great, seriously. They've done nothing but praise the Spurs this whole game, and the other games this season.

agreed. Way better than the average commentator crew :tu

[BanditHiro]

damn ginobili let him shoot that

[CFH]

Dammit Manu

[Crookshanks]

These Warrior announcers are really great, seriously. They've done nothing but praise the Spurs this whole game, and the other games this season.

Yeah - they're pretty good. Much, much better than most other teams!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Grizzly has a great smile. He was just joking around with Joey Crawford! :wow: :lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

Manu just got Manu'd..

[dbestpro]

Manu is mentally distracted by something.

[ShoogarBear]

it's all joey crawfords fault.
Good call. Little ogre bastard. :pctoss

[ShoogarBear]

manu just got manu'ed


Manu just got Manu'd..

My lawyers will be in touch.

[Libri]

it's all joey crawfords fault.

Damn that Joey Crawford. :ihit

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Manu coast to coast!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Manu!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm nominating WeNeedLength's sig for Best Sig on ST. :D

[BoricuaCJA]

agreed. Way better than the average commentator crew :tu
And they don't complain about calls like most other commentators.

[CFH]

That was beautiful by Manu

[BanditHiro]

zone busters

[CFH]

Dice J

[Spurologist]

DICE! from tp

[Tp9gospursgo]

Dice!

[mexicanjunior]

i hope he just banged knees

Didn't look like he had contact with anyone...knee just gave way as he was rolling off the screen...looked pretty serious to me.

[Capt Bringdown]

I wanted Splitter to get some more minutes, but not this way:(

[Amuseddaysleeper]

My lawyers will be in touch.

:lol

[Tp9gospursgo]

Blair!!

[DesignatedT]

good job dice

[CFH]

Blair throws it down! Nice pass by Tony

[dbestpro]

Blair got the message from Pop.

[Libri]

The Beast throwing it down!

[ShoogarBear]

Parker could have passed to either Blair or Dice for that dunk.

[Spurologist]

these Warrior announcers could do some spur games. I haven't sensed that much praise for Golden State....it's been all spurs

[Crookshanks]

Man - Spurs didn't have 60 points until the 4th quarter the other night in NO :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

GSW announcers have been pretty good so far today.

[tdunk21]

hill is somewhat different after his thumb injury

[itzsoweezee]

what a sweet pass

[Mugen]

the game automatically takes a backseat to Timmy's health.

[cutewizard]

Go Spurssssssss go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we must win this game

[itzsoweezee]

GSW announcers have been pretty good so far today.


They usually are.

[cutewizard]

oh God,

let us win this game

[cutewizard]

Blair with the slamma

hammer time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Libri]

oh God,

let us win this game

And hope Tim is alright.

[Fireball]

hill is somewhat different after his thumb injury

I am seeing that too ... he definitely attacks

[cutewizard]

any update on Timmy guys??

hope he is ok

[mexicanjunior]

Go Spurssssssss go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we must win this game

Game won't mean much with Duncan's injury...season is over if he can't come back.

[ducks]

these announcers are way better then those hornet announcers

[8FOR!3]

I don't mind Golden State. The only thing that bothered me was the Jefferson dunk where he landed on David Lee and Lee acted like a bitch and so did the announcers. But other than that both the team, the fans, and the commentators have been very bearable. I like Steph Curry and Andris Biedrins and Monta Ellis is fun to watch. Plus I love those jerseys. I have a 59fifty cap that says The City on it with the Golden Gate logo.

[Banzai]

Spurs got this..no worries.

[DesignatedT]

Mcdonald!!!!!!!! Give us info

[Pauleta14]

It seems that a good offensive start for Tony doesn't mean a good "whole" offensive game % wise anymore...
He passes more though, but for whatever reason, he loses his flow/confidense after going to the bench.

any thoughts?

[ducks]

Game won't mean much with Duncan's injury...season is over if he can't come back.

dude walked on his own power to locker room

[ShoogarBear]

lol

Kurt Thomas tonight: 22 points, 9 boards, 5 assists, 2 blocks . . . against Bogut.

Rock on, old dude.

[Fireball]

And hope Tim is alright.

To be honest, I doubt it. This may not be serious, but together with his "normal knee problems" this may make him as immobile as 2 seasons ago ... I don't like it at all

[Hemotivo]

Yeah - they're pretty good. Much, much better than most other teams!

[dbestpro]

Man - Spurs didn't have 60 points until the 4th quarter the other night in NO :lol

Yeah the Warriors are a great team to play when you need to get your offense back on track.

[Thompson]

I can't see the game, what happened to Duncan? Potential knee/ankle?

[Tp9gospursgo]

Any update on Timmy?

[mexicanjunior]

dude walked on his own power to locker room

Walking around and playing basketball are 2 different things...I'm hoping for the best though.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

They usually are.

I've heard them go both ways - homer and fair. But yeah, they're in the top third of announcers IMHO.


these announcers are way better then those hornet announcers

Yeah, the Hornets guys are almost as bad as Heinsohn.

[GSH]

I hate to say it, but if that incident hurt Tim's knee, it's probably not good. And the way he acted, and headed straight back? I think he felt it pop.

When it looks like a guy rolled his ankle, but he comes up holding his knee there's a good chance it's an ACL or MCL tear. Don't be surprised if that's what they announce tomorrow.

Feeling a little sick right now.

[Fireball]

dude walked on his own power to locker room

if he was with the Blazers, his leg would have dropped off immediately

[Pauleta14]

Spurs got this..no worries.


As you may have understood, we're not worried about "this one" really right now...

I take a L for Timmy's health

[ShoogarBear]

Any update on Timmy?

Pop is getting on him right now to get his ass back out there so they can continue the push to 70.

[DesignatedT]

I can't see the game, what happened to Duncan? Potential knee/ankle?

knee. looked like it was a hyper extension or light sprain. walked off on his own power but was down on the court for awhile.

[dbreiden83080]

I hate to say it, but if that incident hurt Tim's knee, it's probably not good. And the way he acted, and headed straight back? I think he felt it pop.

When it looks like a guy rolled his ankle, but he comes up holding his knee there's a good chance it's an ACL or MCL tear. Don't be surprised if that's what they announce tomorrow.

Feeling a little sick right now.

Or he could have just tweaked it and they are taping it up..

[tdunk21]

Spurs got this..no worries.

you pay attention when the spurs play warriors too...

[Sisk]

Pop is getting on him right now to get his ass back out there so they can continue the push to 70.

:lol

[dbestpro]

if he was with the Blazers, his leg would have dropped off immediately

If it was the Bears............. well, you know.

jesus man, take it easy with all that talk.

[Creation88]

Jefferson continuing his slump. 1-6 tonight and only avg 5.8 ppg in the last 6 games.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Parker could have passed to either Blair or Dice for that dunk.

He sure as hell ain't no Manu.

:stirpot:

[ShoogarBear]

Tim Duncan is weak just like his boy Jay Cutler.

[ShoogarBear]

He sure as hell ain't no Manu.

:stirpot:

:lol He actually did pass to Blair . . . just pointing out how weak the interior D was.

[duncan228]

Tim Duncan is weak just like his boy Jay Cutler.

:lol

[Fireball]

If it was the Bears............. well, you know.

please explain ... I know the Bears did not make it to the Super Bowl, but nothing more

[Dex]

Tim Duncan is weak just like his boy Jay Cutler.

:wow :nope

[CFH]

Tim Duncan back and shooting around :D

[scottspurs]

I highly doubt it had anything to do with Duncan's ligaments. Looked like he just tweaked something. He also walked off quickly on his own power

[Fireball]

ok, Cutler injured himself as well ...

[007nites]

looks like timmy will be playing in the second half!

[duncan228]

Bill and Sean: Duncan is fine.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Sean went back there. Timmy is warming up. Tim said he just banged it a little bit.

[scottspurs]

Tim Duncan back and shooting around :D

Thank God!

[dbreiden83080]

Tim take a seat for this game

don't push it

[Crookshanks]

I hate to say it, but if that incident hurt Tim's knee, it's probably not good. And the way he acted, and headed straight back? I think he felt it pop.

When it looks like a guy rolled his ankle, but he comes up holding his knee there's a good chance it's an ACL or MCL tear. Don't be surprised if that's what they announce tomorrow.

Feeling a little sick right now.

Then don't! Just stop with all the gloom and doom until we actually know something. :nope

[ducks]

33.1 SA - Slam dunk by DeJuan Blair. Assist: Tony Parker

[Fireball]

oh my god ... I really thought this was the end of the season and therefore, the end of the Spurs as I know them

[NRHector]

Fuck my heart is happy again :toast

[Dex]

Tim looks to be okay. :tu

[dbestpro]

I hate to say it, but if that incident hurt Tim's knee, it's probably not good. And the way he acted, and headed straight back? I think he felt it pop.

I bet you get sued for malpractice a bunch, huh?

[ElNono]

Timmy just switching his bionic knee with a new model... Non-Issue

[Tp9gospursgo]

Glad Timmy is out there. I dont see Pop playing him too much though. But he looked like he was just fine.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

phew

[tdunk21]

timmy D tough man

[NRHector]

Timmy just switching his bionic knee with a new model... Non-Issue:lol

[timtonymanu]

Thank God. I just got home and saw that Timmy was hurt. Glad it's not serious!

[TheSpurglar]

I'm at the game and Timmy came out to warm up for the second half. Don't know of he'll play, but he looks fine to these eyes. I've dried my tears on Warriors fans' shoulders.

[ShoogarBear]

Told you Pop would get his happy fanny back out there. This is a must-win game!

[Thompson]

Praise God. I hit my knees. No joke/pun.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Still should rest him the rest of this game.

[Crookshanks]

See - Timmy is fine. All you drama queens with the OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG - don't you feel silly now?

[EricB]

Gotta close my windows. The city breathing all at once blew em open..

[IknowU]

Bill and Sean: Duncan is fine.

THANK THE FUCKING LORD


Im willing to lose 10 games straight if it saves Timmy's health. :lobt2:

[Spurologist]

Tim looks to be okay. :tu

:tu

[GSH]

Sean went back there. Timmy is warming up. Tim said he just banged it a little bit.

If they let him back in the game without scans, you know it wasn't bad at all. They wouldn't take any kind of chances with ligaments.

If he's back in the game, I feel like we dodged a bullet.

[Banzai]

you pay attention when the spurs play warriors too...

I pay attention when the Spurs play any team..you got a problem? I'm not being a troll. Besides I posted that before I found out about TDs injury.

[Libri]

Bill and Sean: Duncan is fine.

A big sigh of relief. Considering the condition of Tim's knees, any type of pain is a cause for concern.

:flag:

[EricB]

Speculation about "looks like an acl" or whatever is just unreal, don't understand why people like to buy trouble like that.

[ShoogarBear]

Okay, he's tested it. Put him back on the bench now.

[CFH]

Parker!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Gotta close my windows. The city breathing all at once blew em open..

:lol

[Fireball]

See - Timmy is fine. All you drama queens with the OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG - don't you feel silly now?

no, I feel silly because I don't care if 5000 people die because of a natural disaster but cry OMG if Timmy lies on the ground hurt

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Still should nto be playing duncan
This is messed up

[CFH]

Blair J

[Spurologist]

Blair JUMPER????

NICE

[dbestpro]

Pop playing Splitter so much woke Blair up.

[CFH]

Parker J

[Refocus]

Db looked super confident on that baseline J. :o

[ShoogarBear]

Y'know, I think the Hornets actually play better defense than the Warriors.

[DesignatedT]

there we go

[GSH]

I bet you get sued for malpractice a bunch, huh?

I'm just saying - I've seen that exact look several times. You think it's an ankle roll, and instead it's the knee, and it's ligaments. And Tim looked like he was in a hurry to get to the locker room, and not trying to hang around and see if it got better. A lot of times that's a player that felt something pop in the knee.

I've never been any more happy to be wrong.

[scottspurs]

This further shows why Duncan is the greatest. I'm going to miss him when he's gone.

[CFH]

Spurs up 11, great start to the quarter

[Fireball]

Y'know, I think the Hornets actually play better defense than the Warriors.

just a little bit ...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Db looked super confident on that baseline J. :o

pop will make sure that he won't be very soon

[NRHector]

This further shows why Duncan is the greatest. I'm going to miss him when he's gone.shut up don't say that right now not yet

[CFH]

Duncan hook, nice feed from Blair

[Fireball]

This further shows why Duncan is the greatest. I'm going to miss him when he's gone.

and it will be an economic disaster

[Capt Bringdown]

oh my god ... I really thought this was the end of the season and therefore, the end of the Spurs as I know them

You and me both...it was a truly dreadful sight. I think Duncan should be sitting now, but I'm ecstatic to see him back.
Wow.

[ShoogarBear]

Looks like the chances of RJ getting a repeat horseyback ride this game are pretty small.

[dbestpro]

RJ needs to attck the rim and quit settling for the three.

[BoricuaCJA]

Man RJ is just not making 3's.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice Manu.

[dbestpro]

Manu payback.

[Mugen]

RJ's been settling for that 3 way too much this season and he throws a lazy pass at lease once a game.

[Spurologist]

:rollin

Classic manu

[Danny.Zhu]

Richard Jefferson 2009-2010 PPG 12.3
Richard Jefferson 2010-2011 PPG 12.2

[CFH]

Manu with the goods

[Crookshanks]

He did not get all ball - he clearly hit Manu on the arm.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

manu wtf

[duncan228]

Alright, I'm breathing now. :lol

[Fireball]

Richard Jefferson 2009-2010 PPG 12.3

stats do not say it all, but I agree he is in a slump right now

[urunobili]

Vintage Manu giving back the courtesy :lol

[dbreiden83080]

What's up with Manu at the line 2night

[ShoogarBear]

"The Ball Doesn't Lie"? Who the hell said that, the Duke of Wallace?

[timtonymanu]

Richard Jefferson 2009-2010 PPG 12.3
Richard Jefferson 2010-2011 PPG 12.2

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

dorell assisting every shit

[Tp9gospursgo]

Manu!!

[Spurologist]

mmmmmaaaaannnuuuuuuuuu 33333333333333333

[CFH]

Manu tresssssssssssssssss!

[dbestpro]

Manu is an enigma.

[Crookshanks]

WOW - look at that freethrow disparity! That usually doesn't happen to the Spurs.

[GinobiliForTres]

What's up with Manu at the line 2night

What he doesn't do at the FT line, he makes up for.

THREEEEEE.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Manu with the heat check

[timtonymanu]

Goddamn do they ever miss?

[dbreiden83080]

Damn Ellis is good..

[Capt Bringdown]

Richard Jefferson 2009-2010 PPG 12.3
Richard Jefferson 2010-2011 PPG 12.2

Ouch.

[Dex]

Pop:
http://www.igotzillustration.com/images/full_infuriate.gif

[GinobiliForTres]

Damn Ellis is good..

getting real damn tired of him and lee

[Fireball]

Monta Ellis is good every game, but David Lee really likes to go against the Spurs

[jestersmash]

I'm fine with Ellis scoring 21 points on 21 shot attempts.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Dice from Duncan!

[Libri]

Dice dunk

[ShoogarBear]

WOW - look at that freethrow disparity! That usually doesn't happen to the Spurs.

Shhhhh. Actually, the Spurs have the biggest net free throw disparity in the league: +5 FTA/game.

[dbreiden83080]

Great Pass Tim

[Hemotivo]

pop angry with tp and dejuan?

[CFH]

Dice with the throw down!

[BoricuaCJA]

Mcdyess with the slam!

[CFH]

Neal!

[ShoogarBear]

Monta Ellis is good every game, but David Lee really likes to go against the Spurs

Ellis is good every game, but in a way that often doesn't get his team involved.

[CFH]

Dice J, still looking around like he's surprised to be open :lol

[NRHector]

Mr Dice is balling

[Tp9gospursgo]

Dice is on fire tonight!

[timtonymanu]

Time to maintain or push the lead. No more cutting it to five.

[ShoogarBear]

Dice's J is so underrated. I think the Spurs almost never lose when that is on.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

dice has been very good :tu

[dbreiden83080]

Dice is on fire tonight!

Please don't retire..

[tdunk21]

dice

[ShoogarBear]

Dice +17 in 15 minutes.

[Fireball]

Ellis is good every game, but in a way that often doesn't get his team involved.

of course, otherwise they might be a playoff team (combined with a little defense)

[Crookshanks]

Boy these announcers are really giving the Spurs some love - I'm just not used to hearing it since I have to watch LP all the time.

[DesignatedT]

keep it up guys

[maddnezz]

Dat old man bustin there ass again! haha!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Ooey Pooey!

[CFH]

Hill right up the middle!

[Capt Bringdown]

Warrior announcers gushing over the Spurs, old-school style.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Ellis is a huge Ball hog.

[Spurologist]

Fuckin Splitter, where would you like it next time?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

neal has a better in between game jefferson its so sad

[tdunk21]

dice is doing a very good on the boards tonite

[ShoogarBear]

Ellis is a huge Ball hog.

Sometimes he's like a bigger version of Earl Boykins.

[Crookshanks]

Those tats are horrible!!!! He looks like he has a disease!

[CFH]

dice is doing a very good on the boards tonite

Rising high up for them, love it

[Fireball]

Splitter ... make your layups ... it might increase playing time

[Tp9gospursgo]

Tiago being aggressive.

[duncan228]

For the MDs among us: Official diagnosis on Tim Duncan is/was a hyperflexed left knee

[DesignatedT]

good heads up play tiago

[CFH]

Make your free throws Splitter

[BanditHiro]

wow that was a bad pass

[ShoogarBear]

lmao Dice

[CFH]

Dice J, so smooth

[DesignatedT]

dice baby. keep leavin him open

[maddnezz]

Old man again!!!

[tdunk21]

dice dice dice

[Crookshanks]

When is Bonner coming back? He's been out a week now hasn't he?

[ShoogarBear]

Good recovery by Neal on the foul.

[CFH]

Boooooooooo turnover

[Capt Bringdown]

I'll take the missed shots and FT's, but Splitter really should have more than 3 rebounds in almost 13 minutes of action.

[ShoogarBear]

WTF? Are you kidding me?

[CFH]

Clear path foul? Ugggggggggggggggggh...

[Tp9gospursgo]

Wtf

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

More controlled pace to the game in the second half, as usual. Should be an interesting final quarter given that GSW will make a run.

[GinobiliForTres]

I'll take the missed shots and FT's, but Splitter really should have more than 3 rebounds in almost 13 minutes of action.

what's a hyperflexed left knee?

[Fireball]

that is not a clear path foul ... wtf

[tdunk21]

we should have traded for dice long ago....

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol ponytail douche..

[ShoogarBear]

Hyperextended left knee.

[CFH]

Splitter going to the line a lot tonight
