[conversekid]

gimme a break!

[ca®lo]

NAZR with the save!!!!!!!

finally able to login!

been trying to connect for 10 mins! damn connection.

nice 3 by barry!

come on guys. WE WILL WIN THIS ONE!

but hold on to your seats though! this ones gonna be close!

nazr with 5 fouls.

[hump]

Come on, Maxr tapped Steve in the head?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

fuck! our 13 pt lead is dwindling by the second!! damnit! :pctoss

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Where is the team defense at? YOu can't hang Nazr out to dry on Nash...

[50 cent]

We are closing out the quarter poorly.

[conversekid]

yup. the suns are out hustling the spurs and appear to want it more.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Phoenix uses their foul to give, crowd boos. Insightful bunch out there in Arizona. :lol

[conversekid]

FINALLY! penetration!

[Dex]

Manu sighting.

[50 cent]

Is 8 points enough?

5 on 8 fellas in the 4th quarter.

[ballhog]

Nasty drive by Manu

[conversekid]

maybe manu's play will be a momementum changer

[hump]

Manu!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jimcs50]

Spurs had 4 team fouls in 1st 2 mins of 3rd Q and Phoenix just got their 4th(on purpose) in last 6 secs of 3rd Q.

This is such bullshit

[Manu20]

Go for the Kill Spurs!

[50 cent]

Has anybody else ever been more nervous for a game 5 up 8 entering the 4th quarter with a 3-1 series lead?

I sure as hell have never been.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Dude, a large part of what this board is here for is for people to vent when things aren't going well.

Calm the fuck down.
Right, and all I'm doing is venting about fucks like you complaining too much, so why don't YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[mavsfan1000]

The announcer just jinxed Nash's free throw

[myhc]

Manu and Tony have come through big time for us in the 2nd half. I like the 8 point cushion. Let's finish this!!!

[hump]

Close Em Out

[violentkitten]

im shocked. they controlled the 3rd. 9 point swing from halftime. now step it up in the 4th just like games 1 and 2

[Rummpd]

Good hold to a tenuous lead, need to stop those damm 3s though.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

FINALLY! penetration!

Spoken like a true virgin. :lol

Manu: 14 points, 6 boards, 5 assists, 3 steals.

[Tek_XX]

When you're playing the suns you do leave Nazr out to dry on Nash and hope try's a fad away or something.

[1Parker1]

Good teams learn to win despite having to play 5 on 8 :)

....Although I am still not over those 3 offensive fouls in a row.


Go SPURS!

[myhc]

I don't know how Tony is playing bad. 17 points 7-17 41% isn't bad but, you guys think he's playing horrible with 1 TO. I'm suprised no one has ripped Manu yet.

He started out bad 0-4. Scoring with great efficiency since.

[smeagol]

Three posts from the kitty cat that I like. That has to be a first one.

[DDS4]

FINISH THEM !!!

Let's wrap this fuckers up and send them home crying.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

There has been a lot of people complaining tonight, sorry I slept with your girlfriend, I didn't know.

[Ginofan]

http://img100.echo.cx/img100/5475/macisanrenzu22ci.jpg


Believe

[50 cent]

4th quarter boys. Let's finish this.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What sucks is if we finish this out and play Miami, ESPN will still be playing that damn Phil Collins song.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

When you're playing the suns you do leave Nazr out to dry on Nash and hope try's a fad away or something.

If it weren't for the fact that in that situation (big on Nash) Steve's driven at the big man every time this entire series, I'd be right there with you.

[50 cent]

Way to go Horry. Nice Cut.

[ballhog]

They called a foul?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Horry, quietly with 7 points, 6 boards, 5 assists

[50 cent]

FUCK yeah! Timmy!!!!!!

[ballhog]

Hacked in the act

[myhc]

Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Did you see Beno Ding up Joe Johnson? That's what I'm talking about!

[50 cent]

Timmy: "It's about fucking time you call a foul".

[myhc]

Mvp!!!

[1Parker1]

Right, and all I'm doing is venting about fucks like you complaining too much, so why don't YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!

:lol And I thought he was only rude to me.

[50 cent]

Tim ripping them. We are taking this shit.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Wow, Amare dunked. Of course, he travelled first.

[ca®lo]

4 fouls by amare.

3 point play by duncan!

spurs up by 12!

come on spurs!!!!

LET THOSE DARN SUNS SET FOR GOOD!

dunk by amare! wheres the d spurs????

[50 cent]

Dammit Barry. That could have been a dagger.

[Dex]

Ouch.

[Dre_7]

Nice travel by Amare b4 the dunk.

[atlfan25]

spurs are playing good ball right now

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Come on Pop, you've got to put Tim on Amare.

Horry can't guard Amare. Stoudemire knows this.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Beeeeeeeeno!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[50 cent]

Amare has traveled about 30 times tonight and the refs only called it when it least mattered with 4.5 seconds left in the quarter.

[Dex]

Goddamn, this game is tense.

[Dre_7]

Good time out.

Lets end this tonight!!!

[smeagol]

Where the Fuck is Manu?

[50 cent]

Come on Spurs. Close this motherfucker out.

[1Parker1]

Damn, Suns shooting 42%, you think they'll reach 90 points??! :)

[hump]

Amare=Travel=No Ref Calls

[Rummpd]

Yeh piss on the Valley of the Suns. One more dominating run!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yeah, but I just thought it was worth noting when he stutter stepped before even dribbling, goes in and dunk it, and the commentators are having an orgasm over his "move".

[Tek_XX]

Bill Walton: "San Antonio, they don't turn the ball over"

oh god this guy is such an idiot

[ca®lo]

keep it up spurs!!

relax.. get back fast on d...

and dont rush your shots!!

lets go!!

GO SPURS GO!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It's almost time to bring in our closer.



<----------------

[hump]

Did Walton ever actually play in the NBA? Or was he an extra on Gilligans Island

[Dex]

Pop sticking with Beno for now.

[conversekid]

I Manu to dominate. Tony will see why it was him and not he, that was the all star.

[atlfan25]

Damn, Suns shooting 42%, you think they'll reach 90 points??! :)
42%? that is some good shit from the spurs D, it would be badass if the spurs kept them under 90, although it probably won't happen. they will keep them under 100 tho.

[atlfan25]

damn

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Duncan gets hit in the jewels, but that was *clean* or something.

[conversekid]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo

[Tobias]

aww crap

[Rummpd]

Screw the Suns and their fans, I heard a cheer.

[Ginofan]

How the fuck can you cheer someone getting injured???? Fuck Phoenix man.

[50 cent]

I think Tim just got racked. His nuts hurt.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Hunter kicked him in the groin.

[milkyway21]

8:21 left 4th -Amare = 4 fouls

gotta let him foul out, guys!

[Ginofan]

At least Amy's already pregnant.

[SpursFanDan]

thats the worse ive seen it during a basketball game. holy shit.

[conversekid]

nope... that wasn't a foul at all mr. stern.

[hump]

Damn it , Just kick Tin in the Nuts, tha'll do it

[50 cent]

Tim: "You didn't see that Dick?"

[Dex]

Bad karma for Phoenix.

[smackdaddy11]

Tim drives, kicked in the nuts, no foul.

If I see Bavetta, I'll kick him in the nuts and remind him of this.

[conversekid]

I want to see driving!!! not these outside shots! WE HAVE THE LEAD! We don't have to settle for the bad shots! set the offense, get a good shot... let nazr get the board.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Come on Manu, that was a bad shot for you.

[50 cent]

Seriously though, I'm glad that's all that happened to Tim.

[Tek_XX]

Kicks in the groin are apparently legal to the refs

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Take it to the rack Manu. Amare has got four fouls, and is overdue to be on the other end of a poster.

[Dre_7]

Tim: "You didn't see that Dick?"

Was he actually talking to Dick or... :)

That hada hurt!

[50 cent]

Thanks for missing your FT "ball kicker".

[WalterBenitez]

86-79 7:09

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Apparently Stephen Hunter is the greatest backup big man in the history of hte game.

So says the announcers.

:lol

[conversekid]

stop shootin 3!

[IceColdBrewski]

From Walton: "A veerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry effective defensive technique"

:lol

[conversekid]

that layup mised more than his 3! LOL

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Amare with the two handed shove defense on Horry, no call.

[Dex]

We need a bench player to show up right...about....now.

[1Parker1]

Damn, Horry is 3-10 tonight.

[milkyway21]

i want Manu to flop against amare, foul him out...let's see what he's going to say after the game :lol :lol :lol

[50 cent]

Dammit Tony. Slow the FUCK down.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Come on Tony, run some clock.

[ca®lo]

AMARE STUFFED BY DUNCAN!!!

hunter gets offensive shooting 2 misses first.

spurs up 86-79!

parker with the ball.. damnit TP doest wanna shoot.. horry for 3 miss duncan rebounds!!

COME ON TP!! SHOW SOME BALLS GODDAMIT!!!!!!!!

[Rummpd]

This is too damm close, get some scores.

[conversekid]

tried the tear drop from to far out... got scared

[WalterBenitez]

wow, such a good block!!!

[hump]

Walton: Remarkable

[conversekid]

suns look to want it more....

[ca®lo]

tony misses a weak teardrop.

amare scores again. spurs up 86 81 manu drives!!! blocked by amare!

timeout!

RELAX SPURS. YOURE UP BY 5!!! take it easy and make some shots!!

[Rummpd]

Horry's missed shot inside was a killer. Darn.

[FearDaFro]

oh, i've seen worse.....

http://www.makingpages.org/hoops/malonekickhorry.jpg

look at the foot placement. Perfect execution. You can tell he's practiced it before.......

The telling sign? Hoprry's face. Now THAT is a man in pain.....

[hump]

Stand Up Spurs

[Dre_7]

Horry's missed shot inside was a killer. Darn.

He wont miss the next one!

He had more time then he thought!

[Tom_Foolery]

After 2 series.

LOL!

He still has Parker on the switch on Amare...underneath the basket.

Can someone tell me why he still goes with the switch?

[Dex]

I love it how the commentators bust a nut every time Phoenix does something that resembles defense.

It's not like watching a toddler do trig or anything, guys.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It's a good thing we're keeping Beno on the bench, we were pulling away.

[myhc]

Stand up and deliver!

[hump]

Go Spurs Go

[50 cent]

Damn, between work and the Spurs, I have way too much stress in my life. Not only am I slowly greying at 25, I'm starting to literally pull my hair out!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Horry was getting a two handed shove by Amare, pretty hard for most folks to hit a layup with the extra momentum that gave him.

[Supergirl]

Spurs have missed their last 5 or 6 shots. They need Duncan and Manu to stuff the basketball and finish this off. STOP SHOOTING 3's.

[Tek_XX]

I'm tired of Horry taking shots that really shouldn't be in his repature...driving hook??

Oh and THESE refs will not give amare another foul

[Slo spurs fan]

Why Beno played only 3-4 min in second half Pop? :depressed

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Because it worked against Dallas two years ago.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

dp

[JustSpurs]

Go Spurs Go

[conversekid]

Well... it's time to see who really wants to win.. and doesn't look like Tony does.

[JustSpurs]

please

[Dex]

I'm sure a bobbled floater was exactly what Pop drew up in the timeout.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

WTF was that Tony?

[conversekid]

Time for ben

[milkyway21]

Walton: Remarkableas expected...

his look-a-like son is playing for the Spurs' #1 nemesis...the Lakers!

and he's here in our country.i think I will try see his son and throw some of my leftover tomatoes :lol

[Rummpd]

Great follow by Duncan

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Did I just hear Bill walton call for a Phoenix guard to cut Tim DUncan's legs?

[conversekid]

man we needed that

[Rummpd]

Big 3 by Bowen.

[50 cent]

Bruce!!!!!!

[rwb]

Bruuuuuuuuce!!!!!

[ballhog]

boom

[Dex]

Walton suggests Horry should gaurd Nash because he is...too quick for Tony?

[atlfan25]

bowen with the big 3!!

[conversekid]

someone box out

[ca®lo]

damnit why doesnt anyone on the spurs want the ball??!??!

nice put back by duncan. though i think thats not what he really meant to do..

NASH BY 3.. MISS!!!!! YESSSSS!!!!!!

bowen for 3 in the corner!! favorite spot!!!!!!! yes!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dre_7]

Nice Bowen, try and fake out Nash. Wow!

[hump]

nASHTY

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

GD it Bowen, trying to cross over Amare? Play within your game.

FUCK.

[conversekid]

why are we passing it to bowen at the end of the shot clock? When did manu turn into a puss?

[WalterBenitez]

Defenseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[50 cent]

Damn, this is nerve racking.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It's easy to dunk when you get to travel every time.

[conversekid]

you can see the suns are fighting harder.

[conversekid]

time out spurs

[Rummpd]

Great play by Manu up 6 and then a 3 pointer back by Suns.

[Dre_7]

Nice moving screen by Nash.

Need to step up Spours!

[ballhog]

Do you think the announcers are for Phx?

[atlfan25]

damn, the play by play guy getting excited for the suns

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

WTF are we doing?

4down. Mother fucker.

Duncan, quit holding the fucking rock.

[Rummpd]

Duncan held it too long there damm this is close.

[Dre_7]

Okay, just need to score, and play tight D!

[hump]

wHAT THE HELL

[50 cent]

Yeah, I think he just nutted on Bill Walton's leg.

[conversekid]

weak pass out of the double team by tim.. spurs are playing sloppy puss ball and don't deserve to win this one.

[Dre_7]

Nice moving screen by Nash.

Need to step up Spours!

Nvm about the moving screen, replay shows it was a nice play!

[Ginofan]

The way these commentators oragasm when ever Amare dunks is fucking disgusting.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I loved Nash's dribble hand off/moving screen for Jim Jackson.

[hump]

Need to show their the champs now

[50 cent]

I don't feel good about this. Let's go Spurs. Don't be tentative - you've done everything to beat the refs, crowd, announcers, pundits, Stern, public betters, etc. CLOSE THIS OUT!

[Rummpd]

3 seconds left on shot clock need a score desperately.

[conversekid]

spurs are playing "not to lose" instead of playing to win... looks like back in the day against the lakers when we would get a lead and they would take it from us at the end of the fourth.

[dn0]

get some stops and end this fucking series

[Quasar]

Who kicked who?

[hump]

Please don't let refs beat us tonight!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tek_XX]

Those dunks do look good, i guess if everyone could travel away from their defenders they could look good to

[milkyway21]

up by 3 2:43min left.

no TOs pls....

[50 cent]

Walton: "Risked breaking his wrist."

GD, if I hear about that shit 1 more time, I'm going to break my computer or TV.

[Rummpd]

Huge tip by Duncan.

[conversekid]

ugh.. nail biter

[50 cent]

FUCK YOU WALTON. I'm sure you are disappointed on that tip in.

[Supergirl]

Go Spurs Go

[conversekid]

Nice Steal!!! Use The Clock....

[ballhog]

[Rummpd]

Horry with a huge steal, a score would be huge!

[Rummpd]

He is human!

[WalterBenitez]

Come on boys, plz

[ballhog]

Call a travel on Stoudemire

[conversekid]

Yes!

[50 cent]

Such disappointment that Amare's trash shot didn't go in.

FUCK YOU announcers. We are winning this shit!

[sanman53]

Listen to the announcers on ESPN. It is SO obvious, they want the Suns to win this thing. They NEVER go crazy when Manu or Tim make a shot. It makes me sick. Give em some credit. SPURS ARE AWESOME!

[atlfan25]

good play duncan and parker, clutch

[Slo spurs fan]

yeeeeeesssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It Is Over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rummpd]

Great play by Parker.

[conversekid]

[ca®lo]

[WalterBenitez]

Amare has UN's Passport, this kid has Inmunity, LOL

[Dex]

That is a fucking foul, Bill.

Learn the game.

[Rummpd]

BS foul not called by Amare.

[milkyway21]

sorry, Walton, i think we ARE going to win this game...

adios, Phoenix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ballhog]

Jordan rules for Stoudemire

[conversekid]

that was the most obvious, blatant missed call of the night

HOLD ON TO THE BALL!!!

[atlfan25]

what the hell is that shit

[50 cent]

HORRIBLE!!!!!Hwe;VHrfgzHvfn mrgv"LFnhsjio

[Dre_7]

Manu shoulda called that time out when he was trapped!

[Dex]

Funny, when Phoenix is seemingly intentionally fouling Manu, the refs are nowhere to be found.

[myhc]

nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

[ZStomp]

I'm Really Fucken Tired Of Seeing Amare Scoring This Much Against The Spurs Defense.

I Really Am.

[Rummpd]

Shit bad play with a steal.

[hump]

OK refs are determined to the end to give the game to the Suns,

[WalterBenitez]

shit, shit, shit

[conversekid]

We hit our free throws and we win - now that's a scary thought, considering.

[Rummpd]

Fuck these refs. Go Spurs.

[Ginofan]

Of course Tony doesn't get a call and right of the back Manu and Roho don't either. It's like the refs WANT to keep Phoenix in this series. Fuck this man. Rip their hearts out Tim!

[50 cent]

I'm gonna love this shit if we beat the win 5 on 8 tonight. Hit your fucking FTs Spurs and then tell Dick and Co. to go fuck themselves.

[Supergirl]

7 point lead with 35 seconds left! SPurs are gonna do this!

[myhc]

we're ok. still a 2 possesion game. just gotta make free throws. barry and manu, we're looking at you.

[smackdaddy11]

If word doesn't get out for the front row guys to absolutely berade that old fuck Bavetta at every home game, their tickets should be revolked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


http://www.czabe.com/backup/vol14_jun10/shaq_cheater.htm

[Jimcs50]

That was the most obvious foul in the history of the NBA by Amare on Parker with no call.


Fuck you Spurm, if you say the refs did not cost the Spurs tonight.

[myhc]

7 point lead with 35 seconds left! SPurs are gonna do this!

nope down to 4

[ballhog]

Spurs are gonna screw it uppppp.........

[Dex]

Fuck these refs. Go Spurs.

[ca®lo]

DAMNIT SPURS!!!!! youre up with the game on the line and u cant even make a descent inbound pass??!??!??! and worse get them to score?!?!? damn!!!

my hand is so fucking cold right now.

LETS GO SPURS!!!!!!!! YOU CAN WIN THIS!!!

[slayermin]

One More Bucket!

[Dex]

.......whoops. :oops

[AZLouis]

http://sportsmed.starwave.com/media/nba/2003/0114/photo/a_stoudemire_vt.jpg

amare = overated

= uneducated commentary

As of the time of this posting, he has 40 points. His lowest offensive output in this series is 31. Against one of the best defensive teams in the league. During the season he averaged 41 ppg against SA.

[conversekid]

Go Spurs Go!

[Dex]

Anyways, GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[conversekid]

Yes! Hit Your Throws Manu!!!

[ballhog]

Excuses for phoenix from ESPN

[Supergirl]

Suns down by 4, 24 seconds left, they'll foul. SPurs better make all their FTS

[Rummpd]

Great play by Manu and Parker! Manu to the line.

[slayermin]

One More Stop!

[WalterBenitez]

Manu 1 of 2

Two biggest free throws of the season!

[Dre_7]

for the LOVE OF GOD PARKER DONT SUCK UP AND SHOW SOME BALLS!!!!!!! COME ON KID!!! youre not a rookie anymore!

[Dre_7]

Looks like the no call on Amare was a make up for the non called goaltending by Timmy.

[conversekid]

it's all about NO OPEN 3s!!!! NO OPEN 3s!!!!!!!

Hit the free throws and the game is ours.

[WalterBenitez]

Manu 2 of 2, come on boysssssssssssssss; take care of the f...g refs, theys are against us (oops, well a kind of ..)
