Manu Ginobili on earning a little bit of rest :


“It’s huge for us. “We earned ourselves the possibility to rest a little bit, and it’s well-needed.”

What are you talking about? She is a cute girl. That girl and the qoutes are the best posts in game threads.

Lets go Spurs.

[xellos88330]

Go Spurs Go!!!

[duncan228]

Tiago Splitter (hamstring) out again tonight vs. Nets.

[boutons_deux]

Beating AJ while he's down will be fun.

[Dex]

Spurs are almost at the end of this killer stretch. Hopefully the rest afforded by the Wizards game will give them the legs to finish strong.

Need to take care of business tonight, and start looking to the Bulls game. Don't get caught looking ahead.

Spurs will return to same 'ol lineup tonight, with Manu at SG. Pop seemed a little amused at all the drama Saturday's switch caused.

[awktalk]

So LPBB members cannot stream the game?

[Mugen]

So LPBB members cannot stream the game?

nope, blackout. i hate when its on NBA TV.

[DesignatedT]

nope.

[awktalk]

Damn, I was looking forward to watching a game on the Acela train for the first time. So stupid that even full LP subscriptions can't watch NBATV online.

[Muser]

Spurs have to stop with these 7 ET games..Means I have no excuse to sleep.

[crc21209]

Here we go again wearing the fucking home-whites on the road....thanks Jersey...not....

[CFH]

Blair scores the first basket, excellent pass by Manu

[Spurs Brazil]

Nets call


JMcDonald_SAEN
.Derrick Favors just addressed "crowd", imploring fans to watch him in the rookie game this week. Didn't even use a mic. #justkiddingsortof
less than 20 seconds ago via web .Anthem time at the Prudential Center. I'm hand-counting the attendance. Will get back to in about 45 seconds

[crc21209]

Tim already hearing it from Pop...and rightfully so....

[lefty]

Pop :lmao

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony aggressive, always nice to see

[Spurologist]

RJ from TD!

[DarkGinobili]

Go Spurs!

[SAtown]

I hate when they wear white on the road cuz the home team chooses their dark colors. This isn't fucking football.

Plus, the Spurs blow when wearing this uni on the road

[TIMMYD!]

Timmy really needs to stop hesitating when he has an open jumper, he's a lot better when he doesn't think about it and just lets it fly.

[TIMMYD!]

Tim back-to-back shots!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

that shot by TD was sooo damn sexy

[CFH]

Timmy with B2B shots off the glass

[duncan228]

Duncan looking good now.

[DesignatedT]

the banks open tonight son

[Spurs Brazil]

TD bank and then TD BANK again!!!!

[Spurologist]

TD waxing that glass early....2 patented bankers in a row

[DPG21920]

Broadcaster jinx

[TIMMYD!]

Tim is on tonight. 9 points.

[DPG21920]

Tim is ballin'

[DPG21920]

Tim is making very fluid & decisive movements. It makes a huge difference when he is moving well and not over thinking it.

[duncan228]

:)

[TIMMYD!]

Tim again!

[CFH]

Tim looking damn good out there

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol vujubitch

[TIMMYD!]

I guess The Machine hasn't decided to go off yet...

[DesignatedT]

there you go timmy

[lefty]

I guess The Machine hasn't decided to go off yet...

He can score 0 pt if he wants to

[SAtown]

Vaginacic is a little cold

[Spurologist]

Even though tp has missed some shots, I love the ultra aggressiveness

[DPG21920]

This is one wild game blog.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

more like taking 20 or 30 shoots and still can't have 30 points

[DPG21920]

Even though tp has missed some shots, I love the ultra aggressiveness

Exactly. I can live with mistakes as long as they are aggressive. He is doing the right thing and the odds are with him.

[lefty]

All the ST members posting in this thread will not fuck tonight

[Dex]

Sasha Vujacic - career high - 25 points vs. New Orleans 02/09/11

:lmao One decent game and this guy thinks he is the scoring champ!?

He should probably try scoring thirty ONCE before he can do it anytime.

[Spurologist]

and1 manu!

[CFH]

Manu AND 1!

[DarkGinobili]

Manu and 1!

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs need to move the ball. Holding too much

[DesignatedT]

manuuuu

[DesignatedT]

All the ST members posting in this thread will not fuck tonight

:lol

[TIMMYD!]

I have a feeling Neal is gonna go off.

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair missing some easy ones in the last 3 games

[TIMMYD!]

Neal with the floater to end the quarter!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

yeaaaa neal

[lefty]

Neal


Agaiiiiiiiiiin :lol

[CFH]

Neal buzzer beater!

[Spurologist]

NEAL WITH IT! @ the buzzer!

[SAtown]

Neal. With. It.

[Muser]

Neal!!

[DesignatedT]

very nice neal

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal!!!!

[Brazil]

Petro going wild against us... lol

[CFH]

Bad foul

[TIMMYD!]

Playing well offensively but we're fouling and making dumb mistakes too often as well as turning the ball over.

[lefty]

Machiiiiiiiine

40 pts

[Brazil]

crazy blog tonite 3 pages after the first, the spurs are boring winning too much

[lefty]

Neal with it, Sasha

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair playing horrible so far

[DesignatedT]

cmon blair. its kris fucking humphries

[DPG21920]

Spurs, quit messing around.

[DPG21920]

cmon blair. its kris fucking humphries

He has had a very solid year.

[DPG21920]

Petro showing he's worth that contract. Manu just can't play lately.

[m33p0]

always get in trouble against jumpshooting teams.

[lefty]

How many layups have we missed?

[TIMMYD!]

He has had a very solid year.

And he's doing this:

http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/staytuned/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/kim_kardashian.jpg

[DesignatedT]

no lift there by manu. looked like he was in slow motion

[lefty]

He has had a very solid year.

Yep

[Warlord23]

Pop will need to "rest Ginobili" for this game as well

[m33p0]

And he's doing this:

http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/staytuned/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/kim_kardashian.jpg

so is half of america.

[DesignatedT]

should have kept manu on the bench again. he looks very fatigued

[awktalk]

Manu playing like shit again. Sure hope he snaps out of his funk after the AS break. Dude can't find the basket to save his life.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs need to play smarter on both ends

[Brazil]

Manu is not getting better offensively this game

[m33p0]

fading away with duncan a mile away... lol

[TIMMYD!]

so is half of america.

Fuck! Not me! :lol

[TIMMYD!]

Tim with a bucket and the foul!!!!!!

[duncan228]

Duncan having some fun.

[CFH]

Tim came to play

[dbestpro]

TP justs changes the game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DesignatedT]

nice timmy nice

[Brazil]

there is nobody better than tp to feed tim

[m33p0]

Fuck! Not me! :lol

consider yourself lucky. you wouldn't want to share a woman with this twerp.
http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTrDRCDp3FBCcUgHJwlZB4OCBySHpHrC mcUbT8VIjF_d0W5lcVm

[TIMMYD!]

Great block but too bad about the foul.

[DesignatedT]

TP justs changes the game.

yes.

[Spurologist]

Humphries got shot by a sniper in the crowd with that flop

[CFH]

Neal attempts to take the charge and gets called for the foul, every game :lol

[IknowU]

Chuck up some 3333333333333sssssss FFS.

[Brazil]

lol at announcers with their european flops

[DesignatedT]

Bobcats up 45-37 on the Lakers right now. A win and a Lakers loss would be nice.

[Pauleta14]

Petro showing he's worth that contract. Manu just can't play lately.

:nope

Petro is doing his best to make people forget he doesn't deserve his contract... :lol

[m33p0]

i'm surprised they didn't take humphries out on a stretcher. the way fell looked like it might be career ending.

[will_spurs]

So much difference when Parker and Duncan are on the floor.

[CFH]

Parker AND 1!

[Warlord23]

Looks like AJ has instructed his perimeter players to stick close to the Spurs' 3 point shooters. We need to have TD and TP score in the paint, moving the ball around is not getting us any good looks.

[Brazil]

:nope

Petro is doing his best to make people forget he doesn't deserve his contract... :lol

go Yoan go !

[ShoogarBear]

WTF, I come home to The Philadelphia Story 2?

[CFH]

WTF, I come home to The Philadelphia Story 2?

:lol

[TIMMYD!]

TP sucking it up at the line today.

[GinobiliForTres]

WTF, I come home to The Philadelphia Story 2?

We're winning and scoring. what more do you want?

[Mal]

I love to see Lopez getting schooled. I`d love to see a big blowout here. I just cant stand this Nets team. Vujacic to pair with Humpres, to pair with Devis Harris..

[ShoogarBear]

Bobcats up 45-37 on the Lakers right now. A win and a Lakers loss would be nice.

:lol The Bobcats own the Lakers in Charlotte.

[m33p0]

ugh manu

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF with all those misses at the line

[Brazil]

too bad tp is struggling with his FTs he is playing good bb

[Warlord23]

Sick of Manu's bullshit passing

[DesignatedT]

manu fuckin terrible.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

whistle every 15 secs Zzz

[Pauleta14]

go Yoan go !

He could be so good if...

[CFH]

Manu AND 1!

[m33p0]

thank you, manu!

[duncan228]

The Big Three on display.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu and one!

[Pauleta14]

[DesignatedT]

[ShoogarBear]

The Big Three on display.

[Brazil]

lopez struggling 1 over 8 and still a close game.

Petro back we are fucked

[m33p0]

i think the refs has wisen up to humphries.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

the nets will probably foul bonner even if he posts up or something..

[Pauleta14]

And one more assist they don't give to Tony...

[GinobiliForTres]

lopez struggling 1 over 8 and still a close game.

Petro back we are fucked

are you assuming he's their best player? not like he's paul fuckin pierce shooting 0-10 against the heat :lol :lol

[m33p0]

the nets will probably foul bonner even if he posts up or something..

is that tim flooring pau in your avatar? if it is, :tu.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

[m33p0]

rodeo road trip >>>>> emmy trip.


just sayin'

[TIMMYD!]

Red Rocket!

[Spurologist]

Boooooonnnnnneeeeerrrrrrrr 33333333333333333333333333

[will_spurs]

And one more assist they don't give to Tony...

Not giving an assist for this fast break pass is a joke.

[Pauleta14]

That was a good timing by the Net's commentator... lol

[DesignatedT]

yes sir bonner. our first 3 also

[Brazil]

lmao Petro...

announcers are hilarious

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

W.T.F. manu

[CFH]

Wow Manu

[G-Dawgg]

We should elect Bonner for mayor...

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu J is MIA

[Warlord23]

Pop just sit Manu already.

[Spurologist]

beautiful pass from tp to hill for the layup

[CFH]

Parker to Hill, very nice. Now the Spurs have a chance for another shot before the half.

[Brazil]

Manu wtf ??? come on ... Manu needs 2 weeks off. BTW I would prefer Manu staying at home rather going to the ASG

[m33p0]

that's dice

awesome. :lol

[DesignatedT]

nice tony!

[DesignatedT]

parker :tu
manu :td

[duncan228]

:lol Shoogar.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wow parker!

[CFH]

Parker AND 1!

[m33p0]

eat that, sasha!

[TIMMYD!]

Nets lighting up from three.

TP And-1!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

11 6 5 for tp

legit chance for triple double

[ShoogarBear]

lol Machine

[m33p0]

o great. brent in the studio.

[Pauleta14]

Now I'm waiting to hear Brent on Tony...

I said hear!

[Spurs Brazil]

Good 1st half. TD and TP were amazing

[DesignatedT]

stumped on why manu has played more minutes then tony. its clear he is fatigued.

[Brazil]

wow TP has dominated this first half ! he is THE boss

[ShoogarBear]

Manu wtf ??? come on ... Manu needs 2 weeks off. BTW I would prefer Manu staying at home rather going to the ASG

Those two shots he missed from the baseline looked liked something you'd see at the YMCA gym. Something's up.

[Fpoonsie]

Those two shots he missed from the baseline looked liked something you'd see at the YMCA gym. Something's up.

He was complaining about a push on the hip from Sasha...which was there.

Still, prolly shouldn't have affected his shot that much.

[maddnezz]

All the guys in the yankees organazation with hats on, wives had spurs jerseys on hahah i love it! Every time we score the cheering is very noticable!

[Brazil]

Those two shots he missed from the baseline looked liked something you'd see at the YMCA gym. Something's up.

I agree these two missed open JS are pretty weird, it seems he has no lift, really awkward...

[awktalk]

Nets shooting 27% from 2 and 50% from 3. We're -12 on 3s or else this game would be out of reach already.

[dbestpro]

Bobcats up 45-37 on the Lakers right now. A win and a Lakers loss would be nice.

I'm at a point where I don't want them to lose too many and fall behind OK City.

[m33p0]

never mentioned tony's name even once. just called them "spurs guards." i dunno, i think brent hates him. should make his brother happy.

[dbestpro]

No one expects Brent to comment on Parker one way or the other. Frankly, it would be in poor taste for him to try.

[bongraider]

manu where are you?

[ohmwrecker]

Where are all the "trade Manu" threads?

[dbestpro]

where are all the "trade manu" threads?

45-9

[Warlord23]

Where are all the "rest Manu" threads?

fify

[ohmwrecker]

No one expects Brent to comment on Parker one way or the other. Frankly, it would be in poor taste for him to try.

It's weird and unprofessional to keep ignoring a player. He should nut up and just do his job.

[dbestpro]

Manu :( If he ain't gonna shoot he needs to take a break.

[m33p0]

2 tos already

[TIMMYD!]

Double double for Tim already.

[CFH]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[dbestpro]

Manu :( If he ain't gonna shoot he needs to take a break.

Never mind.

[DesignatedT]

damn 3 on duncan

[BanditHiro]

damn that play never works anymore T.T

[Libri]

Awesome crossover by TP.

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ for 33333333333333333333333

[DesignatedT]

RJ swish

[DesignatedT]

Crazy were only 2-7 from 3 pt land. I figured we would be letting them fly tonight.

[TIMMYD!]

Tim block!

[m33p0]

just a tad short by tp

[duncan228]

What a block!

[CFH]

Nice block by Timmy

[BanditHiro]

god i hate farmar's ears...

[m33p0]

get that shit outta here!

[Spurologist]

Our rim defense against dunks has been great all season

:tu

[m33p0]

got intimidated by bonner's defensive presence.

[BanditHiro]

jesus christ get a rebound

[DPG21920]

Bonner on Outlaw is so stupid I can't even describe it.

[Texas_Ranger]

Bonner sucks

[Ice009]

Matt Bonner is a pathetic rebounder.

[Warlord23]

Fuck Bonner now actually helping the opponent get the board, just guided it right into his lap

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bonner's fault spurs lose the dub digit lead tbh

[Martin R]

Bruce Bonner sucks.

[Ice009]

Pathetic stuff, Spurs will be in a game if they don't start playing smarter.

[Spurs Brazil]

Owtlaw is a horrible match up for Bonner

He's getting killed

[Ice009]

Great clock management TP.

FUCKING HORRIBLE.

[BanditHiro]

omg fuck the nets and their hustle...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

darn all the momentum are gone now

[CFH]

[m33p0]

[Spurologist]

Nnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeaaaaaalllllllllll 333333333333333333

[Ice009]

Nets are shooting 33% and are right there in the game.

Spurs are really playing bad. That is horrible that they are in the game. Fail by the Spurs.

[Spurs Brazil]

[Capt Bringdown]

[Libri]

Spurs diving for the ball. Excellent effort!

[Spurs Brazil]

Lopez is horrible when he's double

[BlairForceDejuan]

love seeing that hustle

Happy Pop is happy.

[lefty]

All hustle









Motherfuckers

[CFH]

Great hustle by Neal to prevent a second chance opportunity for the Nets at the end of the 3rd

[Pauleta14]

How not to love this team...

[Pauleta14]

god i hate farmar's ears...


:lol

[ShoogarBear]

lol Lakers

[Spurologist]
