Game Blog: Spurs @ Bulls - Feb. 17

[boutons_deux]

Bulls are clearly the better team night, won all 3 qtrs, RBs, FG%, AST.

Looks like they're gonna defend the 2L @home

[Fpoonsie]

Did Rose play the entire 3rd quarter?

Jesus. Well, here's hoping he keels over from exhaustion in the 4th. That's the only way we take this one...

[Fireball]

Timmy needs to get back on the court earlier than usual if the Spurs wanna win this one

[Warlord23]

bucks game comes to mind. nuggets game, too.

Exactly. He's done pretty much nothing in the last 2 months with end-of-quarter plays.

[crc21209]

D-Will and Boozer always killed us in Utah, and now it's D-Rose and Boozer in Chicago...

[ajballer4]

Hill, you suck. What piss poor clock management. Just a disgusting last minute of the quarter.

He called for Dyess to set a screen to go for 2 for 1 but Dyess didnt catch it, thats why he pulled back

[TE]

Damn, this loss will ruin my night.

[DMC]

Spurs just need to get a small lead, that puts many mediocre + teams in chucker mode where everyone tries to do it alone. Ratchet up the defense, risk fouls, get some turnovers and score in transition.

[DesignatedT]

Manu is in float around the perimeter mode tonight. Hard to beat quality teams when he isn't playing aggressively.

[Brazil]

pop is going to try some small ball

[dbestpro]

How long till Pop goes small?

TD is the only big who has shown tonight so he might as well go small. I mean we won't rebound any worse than we are now.

[DMC]

We aren't really fighting against Dallas now, but LA. LA is making it ok to lose a couple.

[hitmanyr2k]

Block party tonight for the Bulls :lol

[Spurologist]

Chicago outscored the spurs in the 3rd....WTF is the sideline reporter talking about?

[will_spurs]

We need Parker

You can't be serious.

[c whata11]

again, bad decision by hill

[crc21209]

Great possession.....not! :td

[lefty]

We are playing like the Lakers tonight

[janetcn12]

4th qrt...go spurs go...we still can do it...

[DesignatedT]

lol hill. this dude

[Texas_Ranger]

Hill get the fuck out!!!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Parker and Duncan need to come in early, only chance..

Does George Hill ever look at the clock?..

[Death In June]

Hill with two straight retard plays.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Hill...:depressed

[Warlord23]

Hill playing like a mental midget

[timtonymanu]

Wow Hill is so terrible at watching the shot clock

[benefactor]

What the hell was Hill doing just standing there?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Damn, this loss will ruin my night.

Why? Looking at the big picture (end of a successful RRT, tired and want to go home, one of best teams in the East) it was likely.

[dbestpro]

A night of bad decisions.

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF Manu, WAKE UP

[crc21209]

Manu cant even dribble the fucking basketball tonight.....get him out.

[hitmanyr2k]

Cmon bench don't give this shit up. There's no reason Gibson should be fading away from a defender like Bonner.

[m33p0]

what else could go wrong? :sigh

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

that is a new way to turn the ball over

[Spurologist]

WTF is that bullshit...Manu 's hand is on top of the ball

[blkroadrunners]

Neal!

[crc21209]

Neal with it!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Neal!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tired mistakes all over the court for us.

This game is an aberration, just like the Portland game.

[Arc]

Neal with it sons

[benefactor]

Choo choo!!!

[Cessation]

Neal with it!!!

[ffadicted]

Neeeil wid iiit

[m33p0]

neal with it!

[MI21]

Exactly what happened vs. Portland, too, where they had no game plan or adjustments against Aldridge..

On a positive note, I'm pretty sure Pop will actually game plan during the playoffs, so hopefully that will resolve a few of these issues..

You would like to think so!

Manu needs to tighten the fuck up, his handle has been horrible. In fact, he has been horrible this whole game.

[Libri]

Neal with a quick 3.

[DPG21920]

He called for Dyess to set a screen to go for 2 for 1 but Dyess didnt catch it, thats why he pulled back

He had plenty of time to adjust. Even if he had to force something up, make it happen. Even if it is a bad shot, it's the right thing to do.

[Brazil]

Manu needs to take a break

[benefactor]

Spurs HAVE to find a way to get stops.

[crc21209]

Hill with a dumbass shot....

[Death In June]

Get hill the fuck out.

[c whata11]

im just getting mad watching this

[boutons_deux]

dammit

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Also, we always seem to lose on national TV. Nothing unusual here. :lol

[hitmanyr2k]

Bench coming out with FIRE!! Go Taj :lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lmao spurs frontcourt

[Tp9gospursgo]

Bonner sucks. Bonner sucks. Bonner SUCKS!

[Creation88]

matt bonner is giant vagina

[crc21209]

That's it. Just put Quinn and all the other scrubs in there...fuck this. Their heads are not there...

[Texas_Ranger]

Roflmao

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

dammit

[DesignatedT]

leave in neal. get hill out.

[timtonymanu]

Bulls response to a Spurs run: making baskets
Spurs response to a Bulls run: Turnovers, missed shots

[dbestpro]

Pop ready to pull the plug.

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs have to cut the lead down to 4 or less, while Rose is on the bench..

George Hill with a horrendous shot attempt..

This is just pathetic now..is anybody going to box out?..

Duncan and Parker need to play the rest of the quarter, it's the All-Star break, they'll get enough rest..

[benefactor]

Their not winning this game.

[TE]

Fucking pathetic.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill is SOFT. He always afraid of contact. When he decide to be a man and go strong to the basket he'll be a good player

[itzsoweezee]

spurs are getting physically dominated.

[DPG21920]

I wish Manu wasn't an all-star. Dude needs to hibernate for like a month. He has really, really fallen off with regards to overall impact the past month or so.

[DesignatedT]

Bench coming out with FIRE!! Go Taj :lol

whats funny

[TampaDude]

Neal with it, bitches!!!!!

[TE]

pathetic. pathetic. pathetic. pathetic. pathetic.

[Spurologist]

Someone buy Hill one of these ASAP

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

You would like to think so!

Manu needs to tighten the fuck up, his handle has been horrible. In fact, he has been horrible this whole game.

Clearly tiredness.

None of the team has exhibited any energy or urgency tonight except TP, and Timmy for that short stretch.

[Warlord23]

It's gonna be quite a spectacle if Manu starts trying his fancy passes in the All-Star game. At this rate he may break the record for turnovers/min.

[timtonymanu]

I think Neal is starting to become our 6th man. Hill always seems to leave his balls back in San Antonio.

[lefty]

I remember when Hill destroyed Rose in Chicago during their rookie season.

Good times

[Fireball]

Bonner plays better defense right now, then there is no help ... fuck it

[TDfan2007]

Our guys might as well roll out the red carpet for the bulls.

[will_spurs]

No idea who is going to do the grades for this game, but I can already say Manu and Hill won't get good ones for their lousy, sloppy job of running the offense while Parker sits.

[ohmwrecker]

Spurs bench is just garbage tonight.

[MI21]

lol Spurs defense.

I can understand them being a bunch of lazy, unprepared bastards against Portland/Philly/Clippers etc, but this would have been a really good game to get.

I can see this ending up 20+

[Fpoonsie]

Goddamn, Manu. What. the. fuck.

I know you can always turn it around, but I still don't know why you have to run all over the court w/ your head up your ass for so much of the game...

Jesus.

[DPG21920]

IMO, the Bulls have really dominated the Spurs in the two games. Even though the Spurs won the first one, they were dominated in more quarters overall and had to overcome a huge deficit. Bulls are almost one of the worst match ups for the Spurs, which the shouldn't be with their lack of spacing/scorers.

[Capt Bringdown]

I wish Manu wasn't an all-star. Dude needs to hibernate for like a month. He has really, really fallen off with regards to overall impact the past month or so.

This.

[MI21]

[xmas1997]

Worst defense I have ever seen the Spurs play ....... ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No way this team wins a championship this year, sorry!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fucking hell Spurs fans, don't you know a tired team when you see one? They gave you a 6-3 RRT, now they want to go home. Give them a bit of a break, eh?

[Creation88]

Manu shooting 38% from the field and only 26% from 3 during RRT. terrible.

[crc21209]

Well at least Chicago is in the East....:lol

[Brazil]

I wish Manu wasn't an all-star. Dude needs to hibernate for like a month. He has really, really fallen off with regards to overall impact the past month or so.

+1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

I would have prefered to see tim and manu in front of the tv rather than playing this fucking useless ASG

[DPG21920]

Spurs should not be tired. No excuse.

[c whata11]

fuck these refs

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

wow

[DesignatedT]

wtf thats terrible..... 3 SECONDS?

[Spurs Brazil]

Refs fuck you

[dbestpro]

With Pop coaching Manu better see all of 3 minutes during the allstar game.

[jjktkk]

I remember when Hill destroyed Rose in Chicago during their rookie season.

Good times

Ahh, the memories of yesteryear. :lol

[Tp9gospursgo]

Wow.

[AidanNelson2009]

Look at the positives, 6-3 on a very tiring RRT, and our overall record is 46-9 (Soon to be 10), still the best in the NBA. The players are trying but are just getting outplayed by a very good Bulls team at home, they also probably just want to get this done and go home.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

woah refs. very good reaction time on that

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

+1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Totally. Give Tim's spot to LaMarcus, and Tony's to Baron Davis so he can throw lobs to The Blake Monster. ;)

[Spurologist]

:flipoff zebra

[hitmanyr2k]

Not diggin that beard by Duncan. Looks creepy. Giving me Drew Gooden flashbacks.

[timtonymanu]

Not diggin that beard by Duncan. Looks creepy. Giving me Drew Gooden flashbacks.

Haha I was just thinking the same thing. Strange. He usually shaves that off too when he gets a haircut.

[Texas_Ranger]

well, goodnight.

[Tp9gospursgo]

We get whistled for everything.....ridiculous

[jjktkk]

No idea who is going to do the grades for this game, but I can already say Manu and Hill won't get good ones for their lousy, sloppy job of running the offense while Parker sits.

Whoever does the grades is gonna have to change their font color to red.

[Capt Bringdown]

Although the lead has remained in the 8pt range, it feels like we've been dominated the entire game. Bulls have had an answer for everything we've thrown at them.

[benefactor]

Lots of quick whistles right now. That doesn't really help things.

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fucking hell Spurs fans, don't you know a tired team when you see one? They gave you a 6-3 RRT, now they want to go home. Give them a bit of a break, eh?

:tu I've already pointed this out to the peanut gallery about 4 times but no-one wants to listen. :lmao

[DesignatedT]

Wow lucky ass play

[Brazil]

Manu man wtf

[noles1983]

these fucks cant miss, game over. Way to suck ass spurs

[timtonymanu]

Wow this is messed up. Bulls get a loose ball and they make shots.

[Warlord23]

Chris Quinn please

[DPG21920]

Spurs should have gone at least 6-3 on this road trip. The competition was terrible, even if they had back to backs. They had rest between the first 3 games and the last 6 and they played sh*t opponents.

Besides the LA game (which took a tip in), they simple beat up on the sisters of the poor. Every team they faced that was playing remotely well, they lost.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

:rofl manu :rofl bonner

[Tp9gospursgo]

Get timmy back in there. NOW/

[benefactor]

White flag time.

[TIMMYD!]

Absolutely nothing going right...

[dbestpro]

They've quit.

[timtonymanu]

Well I'll take 6-3 anytime. Better than 4-4 from last year.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Not diggin that beard by Duncan. Looks creepy. Giving me Drew Gooden flashbacks.

It's a tradition that they all grow their beards during the RRT. He'll shave it when he gets home. ;)

[Warlord23]

Taj Gibson looking like prime Shaq in the paint vs Bonner

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner and Hill are so soft. Disappointing

[DPG21920]

:tu I've already pointed this out to the peanut gallery about 4 times but no-one wants to listen. :lmao

Why would they be tired? Quit making silly excuses.

[AidanNelson2009]

The only downside is we could see a blow-out to this game now, Bulls on fire, and the Spurs have given up.

[hitmanyr2k]

I wonder if Deng got popped or something. He seemed to come back with a vengeance. That's not his style.

[Creation88]

Manu has been terrible.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

show some swag spurs c'mon

[WildcardManu]

Wow, they make every jump shot they shoot.

[DesignatedT]

manu fuck up on d

[Arc]

we're not winning tonight. they're playing great ball, and they're getting all the calls. it's okay though. we played like absolute shit tonight and we were in the game the entire night.

[jjktkk]

IMO, the Bulls have really dominated the Spurs in the two games. Even though the Spurs won the first one, they were dominated in more quarters overall and had to overcome a huge deficit. Bulls are almost one of the worst match ups for the Spurs, which the shouldn't be with their lack of spacing/scorers.

Nobody is gonna want to face the Bulls in the playoffs.

[benefactor]

Spurs are not going to come back from this far down against the Bulls. They need to get everyone out so no one gets hurt.

[DPG21920]

Spurs are not rebounding, defending or moving the ball. You have to do those things if you want to win. Luckily they forced some turnovers and hit some threes or this would be bad. It will get bad if they don't start doing the three things I listed above.

You were correct.

[crc21209]

If Brewer (a sucky ass jump-shooter) is making jumpers, forget it....

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal 3333333333333333333333333

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

neal baby

[HarlemHeat37]

The effort on D and rebounding has been pathetic, but nothing you can do when Ronnie Brewer is making shots, he's a very mediocre player..

[Tp9gospursgo]

Thank you Neal.

[hitmanyr2k]

Fuckin Neal. He's the only guy that scares me right now.

[Spurologist]

Nnnnneeeeeeaaaaaallllllllll 3333333333333333333

[redskinfan]

Can we get a call?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wow manu srsly?

[crc21209]

:lol At that "foul" on TP.....

[MannyIsGod]

No need to make excuses tonight. Chicago just playing better than the Spurs.

[timtonymanu]

Goddamnit all the Bulls decided to get MJ mojo for tonight.

[WildcardManu]

Lots of phantom fouls on rose.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Rose gets every call. Jeez.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs clearly inferior tonight

[Brazil]

I'm not that mad tbh, this chicago team is damn good they deserve their win. 6-3 is a solid record.
Neal is going to be gold for us in the POs.
This bad loss will let the spurs alert after the ASG

[DesignatedT]

:lmao at that foul call. alright well this shit is done. nothing going our way

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner in full playoff mode. MIA on D, just pathetic

[dbestpro]

The officials have gotten touch happy.

[Bartleby]

Quinn should be coming in soon.

[Capt Bringdown]

Besides the LA game (which took a tip in), they simple beat up on the sisters of the poor. Every team they faced that was playing remotely well, they lost.

Exactly. Not a good sign.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

nice pass dyce

[crc21209]

Timmy and Neal (and TP somewhat) are the only ones who care tonight...

[TE]

Stupid fucking refs can't give us a break

[Death In June]

Dick doesn't know how to count.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs should have gone at least 6-3 on this road trip. The competition was terrible, even if they had back to backs. They had rest between the first 3 games and the last 6 and they played sh*t opponents.

Besides the LA game (which took a tip in), they simple beat up on the sisters of the poor. Every team they faced that was playing remotely well, they lost.

Just take the 6-3 (and the 46-10) and realise that they now get a week to rest and recuperrate before the quest for SPAM begins.

There is no problem here. This team is great. We know they are. They will find their groove again. They have all season.

[DPG21920]

6-3 should have been the bare minimum to be happy with the road trip. This was not the way to end it. Kills all momentum.

[noles1983]

wow a missed jumper by rose, dude is human

[hitmanyr2k]

Great defense on Parker. Closed that rim up on him.

[MannyIsGod]

Pretty hard to say that the Bulls dominated the Spurs in two games when you consider the Spurs dominated them in the first for a huge stretch.

[crc21209]

Scrubs like Asik owning us....:lol

[noles1983]

hahaha they got people i never heard of scoring

[DPG21920]

Just take the 6-3 (and the 46-10) and realise that they now get a week to rest and recuperrate before the quest for SPAM begins.

There is no problem here. This team is great. We know they are. They will find their groove again. They have all season.

Ok, but what does that have to do with you saying they are tired? They have no excuse to be tired. They played crap competition and had plenty of rest on this trip and for this game in particular.

[Creation88]

a fucking white guy beats you to the board and tips it in? GTFO! fucking pathetic effort

[hitmanyr2k]

I see R-Jeff has adopted the Pierce neck snap flail :lol

[Death In June]

Frustrating game.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

6-3 should have been the bare minimum to be happy with the road trip. This was not the way to end it. Kills all momentum.

No it doesn't. They are a tired team who wants to go home, and they will start afresh in a week after the ASB rest.

You're reading far too much into a loss that was always likely.

[DesignatedT]

You were correct.

real bold prediction

[boutons_deux]

will Pop throw in the towel?

[DMC]

The Spurs never remember their hot shooter. They ignore him for the rest of the quarter. Hill can not see anyone when he's on point. He's in Kobe mode.

[MannyIsGod]

6-3 should have been the bare minimum to be happy with the road trip. This was not the way to end it. Kills all momentum.

Going out on a limb to say that a loss is not the way to end the road trip.

[dbreiden83080]

Horseshit game.. Horrible..

[dbestpro]

This game begs the question do the Spurs need a higher caliber big next to Duncan than the big by committee that they currently have?

[Libri]

Fuckin Neal. He's the only guy that scares me right now.

Not a good night when Neal is the only Spurs that is scary.

[awktalk]

Ballgame. No way we can beat the Bulls in their place when they play like this, especially with this being the 12th road game in the last 13.

[DPG21920]

Pretty hard to say that the Bulls dominated the Spurs in two games when you consider the Spurs dominated them in the first for a huge stretch.

:lol No. The Spurs were the ones clawing from behind to comeback. I also didn't say they dominated every aspect, but overall, they dominated more quarters and the Spurs were/are constantly playing from behind against them.

[Tp9gospursgo]

We need to start playing defense now. And rebound please if you don't mind me asking.

[TE]

Horrendous play from all across the board.

[DMC]

a fucking white guy beats you to the board and tips it in? GTFO! fucking pathetic effort
What's wrong with white guys faggot? Racist fuck.

[will_spurs]

There's not much to do anyway when Deng shoots like 100% and Brewer hits contested jumpers.

[Spurologist]

just don't see a way back with this matador defense

[MannyIsGod]

Spurs don't even look tired. I'm not sure why you would say that. They do look like a team that doesn't want to win this as much as Chicago. Read into that what you will.

[ShoogarBear]

Bulls are shooting 54%, and then are getting 1/3 of the shots they miss back in offensive rebounds.

[hitmanyr2k]

Scrubs like Asik owning us....:lol

Will Perdue Jr. has been playing damn good as of late. He gives good minutes. In fact Bogans and Asik were god-awful to begin the season but have picked up their play. It's a shame the all-star break may kill that momentum.

[Tp9gospursgo]

will Pop throw in the towel?

[DMC]

Spurs worst RR record 4-4 was a year they won the championship.

[timtonymanu]

Bonner in full playoff mode. MIA on D, just pathetic

I agree. Neal, OTOH, is showing some balls. I'm confident he's not another RMJ.

[benefactor]

Pretty hard to say that the Bulls dominated the Spurs in two games when you consider the Spurs dominated them in the first for a huge stretch.
The Bulls are basically the Jazz reincarnated. Dominant at home but barely a .500 team on the road.

[TampaDude]

Just one of those games. Can't win when everything is going in for the Bulls.

[TE]

If they can get this to below 5-4 with 2 minutes to go (possible but almost impossible if you consider how shitty they've played) they got a chance to turn the tide, but that's asking A LOT right now.

[Spurologist]

Blair still hasn't seen the floor yet....dog house?

[DesignatedT]

There is no difference between our team today and in the beginning of the year except manu. Our defense has been equally shitty all season. It's hard for us to beat elite teams when Manu is in jump shot mode. He needs to get his legs back.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ok, but what does that have to do with you saying they are tired? They have no excuse to be tired. They played crap competition and had plenty of rest on this trip and for this game in particular.

Ever played 9 games in a row on the road, lived out of hotels, while flying every second day? It is very tiring. They certainly do have a right to be tired. Even just the wear of flying so much in such a short time (which affects your body quite a bit) is enough to excuse their tiredness. As is the human nature of living away from your usual routine for weeks on end. Give them a break, they're only human.

[DPG21920]

No it doesn't. They are a tired team who wants to go home, and they will start afresh in a week after the ASB rest.

You're reading far too much into a loss that was always likely.

Why would they be tired coming off an easy win and two days rest?

[AidanNelson2009]

85-99 with a little over 5 mins remaining, i think this one is beyond us. The Bulls are the best team in the league imo, and when they get Noah back, they'll be ever better.

[timtonymanu]

I hope Spurs don't let this game turn into a 20 point loss. That's exactly what I didn't want to see.

[will_spurs]

Blair still hasn't seen the floor yet....dog house?

4 fouls.

[Fireball]

6-3 should have been the bare minimum to be happy with the road trip. This was not the way to end it. Kills all momentum.

Regarding the Spurs road record and their record in back-to-back games a 6-3 Rodeo Road Trip is quite a success this year. But I would have preferred wins against the Blazers or the Bulls because they always give the Spurs problems ...

[Creation88]

can't even a damn FT

[TampaDude]

Please at least make it respectable, guys...

[MannyIsGod]

:lol No. The Spurs were the ones clawing from behind to comeback. I also didn't say they dominated every aspect, but overall, they dominated more quarters and the Spurs were/are constantly playing from behind against them.

Yeah, the Spurs had to come from behind. When a team goes on a huge run and eliminates your lead and builds a big one of their own that doesn't mean you're dominating.

The Bulls may have led longer in the game but you have to really stretch that to make it seem like they dominated longer (whatever the fuck that even means). The Bulls and Spurs both had runs in that game, but the Spurs had the later and better run.

[benefactor]

Chicago is just that good at home. That's all that this is.

[DesignatedT]

5-1 against the top teams this season so far but according to ST we are non contenders :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs don't even look tired. I'm not sure why you would say that. They do look like a team that doesn't want to win this as much as Chicago. Read into that what you will.

They look tired to me, Manny. Made tired mistakes since the start of the 2nd Q.

[DPG21920]

Going out on a limb to say that a loss is not the way to end the road trip.

Going out on a limb saying "it's hard to say the Bull dominated the Spurs..." when the Bulls have won 7 out of 8 quarters :lol

It's not about losing. It's about getting dominated in every aspect and playing from behind the entire game.

[Warlord23]

No it doesn't. They are a tired team who wants to go home, and they will start afresh in a week after the ASB rest.

You're reading far too much into a loss that was always likely.

Hang on, let's not paint the whole team with that brush. I saw TD, TP and Neal look focused and active today.

Manu - yes he is tired, and he needs to know what he cannot do at this point. Yet he takes these risks and ends up hurting the team.

Hill and Blair - no reason to be tired, given their youth. They just played like bums.

Bonner plain sucks, and playing him is like using a double-edged sword.

I would say tiredness was about the 3rd or 4th reason why we got our shit pushed in, certainly not the first.

[Brazil]

sometimes i don't understand pop it seems this time he wants to play till the end

[Tp9gospursgo]

Damnit Parker

[Death In June]

Parker, you fucking dick head.

[hitmanyr2k]

Cmon man. You guys are getting wide open shots. Knock'em down.

[dbestpro]

Parker too much of a ball hog in the second half.

[AidanNelson2009]

Why would they be tired coming off an easy win and two days rest?

Just read what Ruffen said.

[DPG21920]

Regarding the Spurs road record and their record in back-to-back games a 6-3 Rodeo Road Trip is quite a success this year. But I would have preferred wins against the Blazers or the Bulls because they always give the Spurs problems ...

Back to back or not, when you play:

Sac
Det
Tor
Was
NJ
Phi
Depleted POR

you should win 6.

[blkroadrunners]

Set play for Jefferson. RJ has to make that.

[ShoogarBear]

sometimes i don't understand pop it seems this time he wants to play till the end

Well, it's not like they have another game coming up.

[m33p0]

gotta make them shots.

[tmtcsc]

Carlos Boozer needs to shut his mouth. Every time he shoots the ball he screams as if he's being fouled. It's fucking annoying. I know Tony does it from time to time but you'd think it's actually part of his friggin shooting form. Shoot, scream..shoot, scream.

[Tp9gospursgo]

RJ has to make that. Neal would have.

[MI21]

Lol Pop.

The Spurs finally string a few stops, rotations and rebounds together and he brings Bonner in.

[spurtech09]

why do the spurs suck after they have 2 days off....

[MannyIsGod]

Saying the Spurs are tired must just be the go to excuses people have now for the Spurs playing bad. They don't look tired at all.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why would they be tired coming off an easy win and two days rest?

4 in 5 days before that, and travelling in general as I already said. Also, the whole league is usually tired by the ASB - that's why it is when it is.

[hitmanyr2k]

MVP goddamit!! :lol

[Tp9gospursgo]

FUck you Rose.

[Spurs Brazil]

Rose is the MVP. Amazing player

[Spurologist]

fuck me

[benefactor]

Nothing you can do about that.

[m33p0]

can't do anything about that.

[DesignatedT]

they have been hitting those bullshit shots all game. nothing our defense can do about those shots. it is just there night. no need to meltdown

[dbestpro]

RJ needs to close out with the clock runnig down.

[timtonymanu]

Derrick Rose!!!

Man I'm becoming a huge fan of this guy.

[ShoogarBear]

Damnit Parker


Parker, you fucking dick head.


Parker too much of a ball hog in the second half.

Yeah, clearly he's been the problem this game.

[tmtcsc]

Not our night. The ball has taken some strange bounces. Another night of us being taken down by 1 player putting up monster numbers. Yeah you Rose.

[noles1983]

rose - eat a dick
bulls - eat a dick

[Tp9gospursgo]

Why is Bonner in?

[crc21209]

Yaaay Derrick Rose is Jesus! :lol

[benefactor]

lol Pop looking indifferent

[TIMMYD!]

:wow No shame is losing when someone is playing that incredibly.

[ffadicted]

Rose so good :[

[NRHector]

fuck another career high against us
