Spurs vs. Suns Game Five -- Game Blog

[ZStomp]

Is anyone going to guard this guy? Anyone?

Any takers? Shit, I'll go out there and give it my all.

[Dre_7]

Hey, looks like our defensive game plan worked!!!!

[scott]

As much as I hate to say it, Amare is becoming as close to an upstoppable force as there is in this league. I always thought he was overrated, but dude can ball.

[spursfaninla]

Amare is the next post playing superstar. He IS unstoppable. He is averaging close to 40 a game against us.

Last guy I remember who did that was Hakeem, and he carried him team all the way that year.

If this Phoenix team would try to be just ALITTLE balanced, they would be even more dangerous, IMO. Amare is a beast in transition and in the half court.

[MadDog73]

I would say deny him the ball, but with Nash passing, that's also next to impossible.

Hopefully the Spurs will come up with a better solution before Saturday (just in case....)

[Brodels]

He can score in just about any situation. He's really impressed me in this series. The Spurs haven't been able to do much to stop him with single coverage.

With a foundation of Amare and Nash and some really solid support players, they could really do some damage if they learned to play a little bit of defense. If they could even be average defensively, they would be very difficult to stop. And if they could be above average defensively, they would win this series.

But they aren't. And as such, things don't look good for them.

[SequSpur]

He is averaging 40 and can't win a game. Sounds like Kobe and Iverson. Nice.

[Guru of Nothing]

As stated in the Blame Glog, I hope Amare scores 50 in a losing effort.

At this stage of his career, Amare < Kemp.

[nkdlunch]

If Phoenix can get a decent bench in the future, they'll really be scary

[Dre_7]

I say concentrate on Nash!

It has worked so far, 2-0!

This season we are 4-1 with Amare dominating. Let him get his, we can win that way!

[GoSpurs21]

let him have his points early he then performs his disappearing act in the 4th quarter

[Dre_7]

let him have his points early he then performs his disappearing act in the 4th quarter

How bout that nice bricked layup!!!

Few years from now, those mistakes are gone!! He is a beast, no doubt about it!!

BTW, what was up w/ Waltah??? Did he even play for the Suns?

[TDfan2007]

Amare is an offensive beast like Nash, and like Nash, Amare isn't worth shit on the defensive end.

[Catharsis]

He is averaging 40 and can't win a game. Sounds like Kobe and Iverson. Nice.

Sheesh! Give your team some credit. I didn't see Garnett win games all by himself this year.

[Catharsis]

Amare is an offensive beast like Nash, and like Nash, Amare isn't worth shit on the defensive end.

I don't think it's as much Amare's defense as much as it's D'Antoni's philosophy. D'Antoni hates fouls which is the real reason the Suns give up a lot of points. A foul stops the game and if you feel you have the best conditioned team, you never want the game to stop. A couple times Amare could have contested shots, but he more than likely would have committed a foul. Even though he wasn't in foul trouble, stopping the clock is considered taboo to his coach.

[PM5K]

I think part of what you have to understand is that we don't need to stop him or Nash to beat them. Having said that Amare has gotten the kind of calls that Jordan used to get only he's not Jordan and those calls have certainly helped.

[ShoogarBear]

Amare pulled a Hedo in crunch time.

[Catharsis]

Amare doesn't get calls any more than Duncan, Manu or Parker. The majority of his calls are because he's being contested in the key--not wide open jumers.

[ggoose25]

Close, but you're off by about two feet. :)

[leemajors]

amare hasn't really impressed me at all. he is a one dimensional player like nash. he can score all he wants to, but he's still gonna give it up on the other end. the only thing i have ever seen him do on defense is come from the weak side to block shots on someone else's man. at least kobe and iverson play both sides of the game. when it matters and he has to guard duncan, he gets schooled - badly. if duncan was able to guard him the whole game and not instantly get in foul trouble, i think we would see quite a bit less production from amare. let him score, it's great for us.

[Experiment2100]

Don't forget to throw Vince Carter in there.

[PM5K]

Amare doesn't get calls any more than Duncan, Manu or Parker. The majority of his calls are because he's being contested in the key--not wide open jumers.

I gotta disagree, the guy gets calls that Duncan should be getting but he's not Duncan, the only guy that got to the line more than him was Duncan.

There were at least a few times he wasn't fouled and got to the line.....

I think your perspective is a bit skewed. Duncan is the best PF in the game. Who expects Amare to stop him?

[ggoose25]

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

amare = overated

[leemajors]

of course my perspective is a bit skewed, i am a spurs fan. i also really didn't appreciate the push-ups. but he still can't play d.

[Catharsis]

I gotta disagree, the guy gets calls that Duncan should be getting but he's not Duncan, the only guy that got to the line more than him was Duncan.

There were at least a few times he wasn't fouled and got to the line.....

Duncan also isn't taking it to the basket like Amare. How many banked jumpers did Duncan take and make tonight? Amare can hit the jumper, but he tries to take it to the basket with such force that all you can really do is foul. Duncan has such a good perimeter game that he doesn't allow himself to get fouled as much.

But since both are superstars, they are going to get the calls.

[Catharsis]

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

amare = overated


And only 22. If he's putting up these numbers now, just wait until he's 30.

The late Cotton Fitzsimmons said during the rookie camps Amare's rookie year "This kid is an amazing basketball player. And hopefully in the next couple years we can teach him how to play basketball."

Many don't realize that he only played one full year of high school basketball.

[leemajors]

duncan didn't start playing organized basketball until 9th grade, and he is all world d. if amare worked on it, i think he could d up. but for some reason he doesn't, which is disturbing.

[myhc]

keep on doing your pushups son while we head on to the finals.

[Uncle Donnie]

Amare has been extremely impressive. He is basically David Robinson in his prime on offense. Unfortunately he has nowhere near the defense, rebounding, or class that Dave had.

[spurster]

Amare has been extremely impressive. He is basically David Robinson in his prime on offense.
That's what I was thinking. DRob would have averaged 30-40 pts/game easy with a PG like Nash.

[Extra Stout]

Amare has been extremely impressive. He is basically David Robinson in his prime on offense. Unfortunately he has nowhere near the defense, rebounding, or class that Dave had.
That's exactly what I was thinking.

Amare is an amalgamation of two great Spurs -- Robinson on offense and Gervin on defense.

[foodie2]

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Amare is an amalgamation of two great Spurs -- Robinson on offense and Gervin on defense.

...and Rodman on classiness.

[mavsfan1000]

This guy really irritates me with his cockiness. Since Dallas lost I'm rooting for you guys because I can't stand Stoudemire and would love to see him lose.

[Pandaemonaeon]

Why hate? He's a phenomenal player. The only thing that irks me about him is his mouth... saying that he's better than KG and whining about not being invited to the three-point shootout because he has a good long range shot :rolleyes:

[Catharsis]

Give him a break. He's 22 years old. He only went as early as he did in the draft because the Suns wanted him badly. Portland was the only team with him even on the radar. Defense will come, and the defense you're talking about is the SUPER HUMAN Tim Duncan shut down defense--although Duncan hasn't even been able to stop Amare. He'd average more rebounds if he didn't play side by side with Marion and have to guard centers all the time. He gets the blocks and as he continues to mature and develop I believe he'll best Kevin Garnett as a defender.

As for the pushup, put it in context. He made a great play, was fouled hard and while he was laying face down on the court, he thought he'd get more of a work out. :) Seriously, he's got a good personality and for the screwed up life he had until the NBA, he's actually turned out to be pretty decent as a human being--no worse than Shaq.

But again, he's only 22 years old.

[Catharsis]

and whining about not being invited to the three-point shootout because he has a good long range shot :rolleyes:

I hope that's a joke, right?

[mavsfan1000]

I just don't like that Suns team. He has a little bit of that Shaquille attitude that made me not like him. I probably would think differently about him if he was on my team.

[Catharsis]

I just don't like that Suns team. He has a little bit of that Shaquille attitude that made me not like him. I probably would think differently about him if he was on my team.

It's one thing when others believe you're good, it's another when you believe you're good. Basketball is more mental than physical, imo.

[Pandaemonaeon]

I hope that's a joke, right?

He really did say that.

[Catharsis]

He really did say that.

Yes, but HE was joking.

[Pandaemonaeon]

I missed the rolleyes smiley in that article.

[timvp]

Is this a must win game for the Spurs?

Can they do it?

Believe.

[ALVAREZ6]

Not only can they, but they will win tonight.

[ducks]

HELL NO

the heat and pistons are tied at 2 each
so a game is 6 is not that bad

so they still will get plenty of rest if they lose tonight

[Dingle Barry]

tonight we see what kind of competitiveness Tim Duncan and Tony Parker possess

[BigVee]

They can if TD and TP play their regular game and Brent Barry hits 3-4 threes. Manu will be Manu, Horry, Nazr and Bowen will play their game. Brent? It is his time again. Barry plays big, Spurs win. Barry not a factor.....get ready for game 6.

[SpursFanDan]

HELL NO

the heat and pistons are tied at 2 each
so a game is 6 is not that bad

so they still will get plenty of rest if they lose tonight


who cares if they get enough rest.. I want this series over.. the more wins that the suns can get, the more confident it makes them. Lets not give them any hope... close it out.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

They can if TD and TP play their regular game and Brent Barry hits 3-4 threes. Manu will be Manu, Horry, Nazr and Bowen will play their game. Brent? It is his time again. Barry plays big, Spurs win. Barry not a factor.....get ready for game 6.
So basically everyone plays perfect? I like optimism, but thats just not realistic. I say Tim and TP have good games, Manu has an average game and the rest do their part.

[SpursFanDan]

Cool sig gifs Manumania.

[Shelly]

I had a dream of Tim celebrating getting to the finals again.....

[BillsCarnage]

Suns win tonight... Spurs wrap it up at home.

[ObiwanGinobili]

It's not a "must win"... it's "man that'd be damn skippy if they's win" win.

And yes I think we can do it.

[Manu20]

http://www.nba.com/media/barry_uniform_040727.jpg

BELIEVE

Spurs will finish Phoenix tonight.

[E20]

Is it just me or is this one of the tightest wallpapers you've ever seen?

http://www.nba.com/media/spurs/wp0405_rd3gm3b_1024.jpg

[1Parker1]

I had a dream of Tim celebrating getting to the finals again.....

I had a dream of Tim celebrating winning the finals again..............:)

I am curious to see how Tony plays this game. If Spurs want a chance at the championship, Tony is going to have to adjust his game when the lanes are packed--which is what Heat will do, or when he has a tougher, stronger defender on him---which is what Pistons will have.

I know Tim's going to have an awesome game tonight. How Tony plays tonight will truly show us how much he's grown/evolved this past year, I think.


GO SPURS!

[JustSpurs]

A must win....Hmmmm......maybe a must win for the Suns. As long as we win the series, I don't care if it goes to 7.

[1Parker1]

I think the wallpaper, E20, THANKS!

Sidenote: I've been seeing all these old Manu photos, during his pre-long hair days.....God he looked so much better! I wish he'd cut it! :(

[GrandeDavid]

I think that they can and believe that they will...BUUUUUUT if they don't and keep it close, they'll be fine in Game 6. I see this like March Madness. They've got THREE more chances to advance so if they can't then the better team won, simple as that.

[NZHayden]

not a must win, but a must end this series and bring on the East, im sure the players would like a rest/recouperation.
And yes ESPN is broadcasting the game over here, again!
im starting to respect them now after they only broadcast 2 spurs games during the regular season

[GrandeDavid]

NZ, what time is it over there in Auckland (if you are in Auckland)?

[NZHayden]

its lunch time! thursday

[NZHayden]

ohh and im about 100 miles north of auckland, city of whangarei, home town of tall blacks captain pero cameron

[ALVAREZ6]

I really hope we can get off to a great start like in game 3.

IMO, this is a must win.

GO SPURS!!!!

[NZHayden]

hey alvarez put up your signature so i can watch that fatman dance, that is some funny s&%t

[50 cent]

I'm not feeling good, but that's probably a good thing. Let's go win this fuckin' game!

[Dex]

Brent Barry needs to have a big game tonight.

[cqsallie]

Here we go, eh? My gut is in absolute knots, as usual. It won't stop for at least 2-1/2 hours.
Can we fix it? YES! WE CAN!

[ballhog]

Spurs need to play better D on the perimeter. Seemed like they played better when they let Nash and Stoudemire do their thing until the 4 th quarter when they shut down the middle. Too many 3's in the last game.

[50 cent]

Prop bet - Tim Duncan to score 1st points of the game.

Wednesday, June 1st (9:05) Player to score the first points in the game (SAS vs PHO)
All wagers have action. No Parlays.
(3704) Tim Duncan (SAS) 9/2 Wed@9:05p



Risk $100.35 to win $460.58

[JustSpurs]

Open letter to the guy in Phoenix holding the "Not In Our House" sign....Might have been impressive if we hadn't beaten you TWICE in your house already this series.

[50 cent]

OUCH....Nazr....that would have paid HUGE.

[ducks]

Shooting foul on S. Nash

GET HIM IN FOUL TROUBLE PARKER

[Rummpd]

Just win Spurs. Piss on them all.

[ballhog]

Spurs early lead. Skunk 'em.

[PM5K]

Ya'll musta forgot...

[ducks]

manu !

[cqsallie]

I thought the Spurs were starting off slow, but... guess not! Nash is cold????

[ducks]

come on manu!

[50 cent]

Horseshit call. Horrible pass.

[NZHayden]

ohh shit has tha game started, i better get to the pub

[ducks]

4 rebounds to 1
SPURS KICKING ASS

[ducks]

10:26 SA - T. Duncan dunks the ball. Assist: T. Parker

[ducks]

6-0 Spurs

[ballhog]

Nash with 2 fouls----sweet!!!

[ducks]

manu with another turnover

[50 cent]

Wtf? Charge On Fuckin Amare You Mother Fuckin Blind Senior Citizen Dickhead Bavetta.

[cqsallie]

Parker's driving. I don't care if he makes the baskets as long as he keeps driving. No fear! No fear! Nazr hits and a 2nd personal on Nash. Love what the Spurs are doing...

[ducks]

8:44 PHO - Shooting foul on S. Nash
8:44 SA - N. Mohammed makes a 9-foot jumper in the lane. Assist: M. Ginobili

[ducks]

Go At Nash Now

[ballhog]

Late BS call on Duncan.

[E20]

Duncan looks determined and mad!
Let's go Timmy show them the two time MVP!!! :smokin

[50 cent]

Go at fuckin' Nash Parker like nothing else. I'm sure the refs won't call shit on him now, but you gotta try.

[JustSpurs]

Watch all the "Home Cooking" there in Phoenix...Where are all the "rookie" refs?

[Dex]

Suns hanging tough.

12-11 Spurs. Horry and Barry in.

[Tobias]

Stop jacking your shit up, Parker.

...More calls going for PHX

[50 cent]

It's obvious that the Suns are going get every fucking call in this game. Play through it Spurs!

[Dex]

Looks like the Suns will be getting the whistles tonight.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

He's gone the way of the French in WWII. Pathetic.

[cqsallie]

Parker has to keep driving! Duncan needs to take Stoudamire out of the equation. That two-handed dunk by Duncan was just what the doctor ordered. No more soft shots. Drive, slash, shoot!

[ducks]

dude the refs will not decide the game

[GrandeDavid]

Go Spurs!

[Dre_7]

I cant wait till Tony Parker comes into the game! Oh wait he already is. Doesnt he lead the league in pts in the paint for PGs? What the hell isnt he penatrating?!?!?!

[ducks]

I mean nash has 2 fouls

[Tobias]

The Suns get all the calls going for them since game 3

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fuck the calls.

What the hell are we doing on defense? It looks like our defensive plan is to pick up whoever we want on defense. Where are the matchups?

Don't tell me the defensive genius that is Pop thinks trying to guard Nash with Duncan, Johnson with Nazr, or Amare with Parker is a good idea...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What is with the fucking nutting over Amare's block?

Jesus Christ, it was a block. I know it's the first time Phoenix played D all year long, but can we quit with the circle jerk?

[ducks]

duncan is 4-4
you should give him the ball he has the hot hand

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

No argument here.

Parker is 0 for Wednesday.

[Tobias]

"Not too many guys get blocks on top of the rim..."

Jeez, I WONDER WHY that is...

[ballhog]

Yeah, his only block of the game. He was fouled by Nash on the play.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Someone should clue the announcers in that it's easy to look good on offense (Amare) when you don't spend any energy playing defense.

[cqsallie]

We need somebody in there on the offensive rebounds. And Pop better tell these guys to play tough. Like that put-back! We're not even playing defense at this point, so we damned well better be playing great offense.
I love this game!!!!

[ballhog]

Finally Tony hits

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Hey Pop, here's a thought...

Put your best defender (Bowen) on Phoenix's best offensive player (Joe Johnson).

[PM5K]

Quit Shooting Fucking Jumpers, Penetrate Like That Shit Was Evas Ass Motherfucker...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Where is Speedy Claxton when you need him? Hell, I'll settle for Beno.

[ducks]

A - T. Parker makes an 18-foot jumper from the left wing
about time

[ballhog]

Spurs don't seem to spending much energy on defense either.

[Dre_7]

Tony needs to stop takin jumpers or this game is over!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I could probably hit one of every six in 'da league too.

Show me something Tony.

[ducks]

A - T. Parker makes an 18-foot jumper from the left wing

[shyne]

Manu should be playing the whole 48 tonight, and guess where hes at the bench.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fuck, put Horry on Matrix and Bowen on Joe Johnson.

All you have to do to guard Matrix is stay tight on him on the perimeter and stay between him and the bucket elsewhere. Why we need Bowen to do that when Joe Johnson is lighting us up is beyond me.

[ducks]

tony needs to keep shotting when he is open
it hurts the o if he does not shot the ball when open

[E20]

Everybody shut the fuck about the calls and the gay block.

Tim Duncan

The name says it all. He's here to play and he's hear to dominate. He looks like he's not scared of a cracker with a gun. He's playing Amare tough using his strenghth contesting shots like a mofo and attacking HARD on the offensive end.

[ducks]

or you replace him
when barry passed uopen shots it hurts the o

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It hurts the O when he's wide open and he's clanging jumpers like he is.

He needs to be setting people up, and more importantly Tim is giving Amare fits.

[Tobias]

Why is it EVERY time out they show i vigniette on the damned Suns??

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

when barry passed uopen shots it hurts the o

It is NOT Brent's fault your boy Tony is sucking an egg.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

See, even Barry can guard Matrix.

Put the clamps (Bowen) on Johnson.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

How many pivot feet does Amare get? Six? Come on stripes.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Jim Jackson just double dribbed.

Come on Bavetta.

[50 cent]

Jim Jackson just passed to himself and Dick turns his head away so he doesn't notice.

[Tobias]

I think Amare could walk with Beno's severed head in his hand and they'd call Udrih for excessive contact.

[boutons]

mother goddamn fucking ESPN talked about NOTHING but the Suns for the ENTIRE GODDAM motherfucking first quarter!

THAT is no accident.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I concur 50. But when Dick glosses over Amare changing his pivot foot 8 times, I guess Jim Jackson passing to himself and not getting called for it shouldn't surprise me.

[cqsallie]

It's all about controlled anger. Get angry, Spurs. Just say, "This is our game and you're not gonna take it away from us!" Then go out there and play as though the ball was your child!

[E20]

Tie game after the 1Q.

24-24

That's exactly what Tim is doing. Being angry.

[GrandeDavid]

So far its a good game. Phx with some slight foul trouble, Duncan with only one and in rhythm, Tony finally got a layup and one jump shot to fall. We need more from Manu. Nazr and Horry are bringing it again...hang in there Spurs!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

FUCK. Everyone needs to chill about the media. It's the job of the commentators to try and play this up on Phoenix's behalf to keep people interested in a 3-1 series.

It's sports broadcasting 101, take a chill pill.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Did anyone catch that for all the Amare hyperbole, Duncan outscored him by 5 and out-rebounded him by 3 in the first?

Duncan might be on his way to one of those monster triple doubles that he's churned out in the past in big games.

[Experiment2100]

Why did I lose a minute of my life hearing about Amare's only defensive play of the season?

[violentkitten]

surs have showed up so far. now need to turn up the intensity a little bit more. too much settling for jumpers.

[E20]

Duncan is going to be a monster. When you anger the giant, it's gonna get ruff.

And what is it with this stupid song. Yesterday they were playing I'm gonna have a heart attack over and over now it's this stupid song.

[50 cent]

Yeah, who cares about the fucking media. I just wish Dick Bavetta would pull his head out of his ass and be objective.

[slayermin]

At least he isn't turning the ball over.

[Slo spurs fan]

Benooooooooooo!!!!!

[Tobias]

What's with Ginobili and his half-retarted passes?

[Tobias]

Benoo!

[50 cent]

Beno!!

[Slo spurs fan]

Beeeeeeeeeenoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[50 cent]

Mannnnnnuuuuuu!

[Tobias]

Three-fest!

[cqsallie]

Phoenix is not having an easy time of this - and they're on their own court. I'm beginning to relax just a little. I think the Suns are throwing everything they have against the Spurs and overtime, it's starting to tell.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Beno farts in ducks's general direction, drops two threes in a row.

[Dex]

Alright.

Parker's out. Udrih's in.

Back to back threes, then he nearly takes a Joe Johnson diving for a looseball.

I like the kid's moxie right now.

Ginobili is warming up too.

[50 cent]

Timmmy!

[Tobias]

enough of this "Little Stevie" horseshit.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Beno eclipses Tony's point production in two shots.

[50 cent]

Let's get after them Spurs. Push this run and destroy their moral. A 12-0 run right here would be great.

[Manu20]

Beno showing testiculos tonight!

[slayermin]

^^^ :lol

[cqsallie]

Duncan is going to be a monster. When you anger the giant, it's gonna get ruff.

And what is it with this stupid song. Yesterday they were playing I'm gonna have a heart attack over and over now it's this stupid song.
Yeah! Then the damned thing gets stuck in your head and you can't get rid of it without undergoing hypnosis or something... :lol

[scott]

9 minutes to go in the second and he has 14 and 8... I see a 20-20 coming at the least.

Nice of you to show up today, Timmy.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Don't hex him, damn, go knock on some wood.

[Tobias]

Ahh, more chat with the Suns during time-out. Yes, more Nash and D'Antoni. There is no too much.

[50 cent]

Nash's jump shooting is like any other players in the league layups.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

How the hell did Beno get that pass out of there against Amare?

Crazy!!!!!!!

[WalterBenitez]

Three-fest!

Hold on my friend, this is 48 minutes'game :spin

[50 cent]

STOP shooting jump shots Tim.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Whenever Nash gets a big man on him, he knows the big man is covering the drive, and just strokes the jumper with supreme confidence.

Watch him, he misses more jumpers with a guard on him than a big man.

[cqsallie]

enough of this "Little Stevie" horseshit.
Isn't that ludicrous? Walton just said it again!!! Little Stevie just hit one, now watch the big boys, Stevie...
I'm willing to bet that Little Stevie would like to choke the life out of Walton for that moniker...
What a shot! What a shot! Pulling away!
NOT!!!! :smokin

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

There you go Timmy, no weak jumpers.

[SpursFanDan]

I hate it... Miss one of those please. Thats not very fundamental.

[NZHayden]

we gonna win, i played nba live 05 and we won

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

WTF?

Nash just double clutches, no contact by Nazr, ref bails him out. What a joke.

[Dex]

Walton must've learned the word 'sequential' today. :lol

[Tobias]

Way to go Tony!

[WalterBenitez]

TP for 3!!!, oops

[Dre_7]

Please put Beno back in. Parker stil hasnt shown up tonight!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What the hell is Pop doing?

We have got no one in this line up right now who can create a shot or score consistently on offense.

WAKE THE FUCK UP POP. Manu or Tim needs to be on the court at all times.

Tony-Barry-Bowen-Horry-Mohammed ain't gonna cut it at either end.

[nkdlunch]

Parker you SOB you suck

[exstatic]

Uh, not on those two ankles he isn't.

[Tobias]

Ask Eva what she did with his cajoles.

[shyne]

If not why is fucken Brent Barry playing more minutes than him in the most important game of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vashner]

Man Eva is wearing down parker too much...

Pop should lock him up in a hotel room with security guard 24x7.

No trophy no eva...

[hump]

What is up with Nashty licking his fingers then touching the ball. Hope he doesn't have something communicable.

[deepsouth]

Why the fck is Manu in the bench now?

[beck253]

Message To Pop: Manu And Td Can't Be Out At The Same Time

[NZHayden]

the parker hating has already started, amazing guys. keep up the good abuse

[hump]

Manu goes to the bench, the Suns play catch up

[Nikos]

I knew the Suns were gonna go on a run at 35-28, when Manu went to the bench.

[hump]

Go Spurs Go

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Parker is sucking and deserves the hate. Eva has nothing to do with it though, any takes claiming so are lame.

Parker's doing the same shit he's done the last two years in the playoffs. Too bad Pop won't free Beno long enough to save the day.

[beck253]

He took out Manu up 1, reinserted down 2;
gets taken out again up seven, now only 1 up...

[WalterBenitez]

Ask Eva what she did with his cajoles.

:angel :drunk

[cqsallie]

Time to just pull away again. It's like watching the waves on the coast. Ebb and flow; flood and suck.
Little Stevie is probably lying in those air cushions on the side of the court that none of the sportscasters have noticed. Two callers into sports programs today mentioned the cocoon effect and nobody (the bigs, that is) seemed to know what they were talking about. Just watch him.
Good God! Mike Tyson!!! I hope he's not a Spurs fan - that would be the kiss of death!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

So now Nash has got two fouls, he gets to be a New York alleyway mugger on defense?

That's fair...

[Tobias]

yeahg, id rather know Mike Tyson's thoughts than see an important play.

[SpursFanDan]

.... Enough Said

Did you see Jim Grays face when he turned his head to listen to tyson... I bet he was thinking "shit.... Do I have to pretend I'm listening... "

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Quit dicking around Pop.

Put in Manu, Beno, Bowen, Horry, and Duncan, and let's win the fucking game.

[WalterBenitez]

Tp !!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Like I said, Pop out-thinks himself with his substitutions when the Spurs have problems in the playoffs.

The Mickey Mouse shit with Manu's minutes shouldn't be that surprising.

[Vashner]

Nash keeps some secret grease in his hair......

[SpursFanDan]

The suns are setting up camp... Jeez.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

JESUS!! that was a stupid turnover on Manu!!

[Dre_7]

Spurs are lucky to be in this game. Time to WAKE UP!!!!!!!!

[Dex]

Spurs aren't going to make this one easy on the fans, it would seem.

[smackdaddy11]

win the fucking game.

Nobody ever won a game in the second quarter.

[beck253]

Yes, he got in too accelarated this entry

[Vashner]

Parker is sucking and deserves the hate. Eva has nothing to do with it though, any takes claiming so are lame.

Parker's doing the same shit he's done the last two years in the playoffs. Too bad Pop won't free Beno long enough to save the day.

Dude he's young and French.. and she is and experianced "hunter"..
He has to worry about friggin DARTH VADER hitting on his girl.. of course it's getting to him lol...

[boutons]

Is Tony sick? have 105* fever. the guy is totally dead, no sharpness, like he's on his last legs. So fucking weird.

[Tobias]

Nobody ever won a game in the second quarter.
There was that ONE time... :spin

[NZHayden]

YEAH! we aint gonna lose

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

There's my Bennette Salvatore special. :lol HOlding on Matrix = Tim Duncan offensive foul.

Weak ass offensive foul call on Tony.

[NZHayden]

it aint like tp and manu to be playing like crap is it?

[50 cent]

TRASH. The refs won't call shit on Steven now. And then Tony get a horseshit call on the offensive foul?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Wow, we're getting homered now.

Fuck you refs.

[smackdaddy11]

That was stupid. Fuck Bavetta.

[50 cent]

Unfuckingbelievable!!@!jfdlp:asjk:fgiojdg:lkjasdgl jkfsd:jl

[Tobias]

"Spurs have five players on the floor, thats a foul"

[Tobias]

Stern'd

[Dre_7]

Okay, can we start the conspiricy talk again?

:lol

Wow!

[Manu20]

FUCK the Refs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[50 cent]

How the motherfuck is Greg Willard a ref in the conference finals?????

Fuck this shit.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Outside of the Lakers playing an important playoff game and needing help I don't think I've ever seen three straight offensive offensive fouls on one team.

Nash pushes off every time with his forearm, and Tony gets called for a bump on QRich?

[Dex]

Three straight ticky-tack offensive fouls. In a Conference Finals Game 5.

I'm not going to say anything. I think that speaks for itself.

[exstatic]

The refs aren't looking for it. The Spurs need to call it out.

[Jimcs50]

Are you still denying the fix???

3 straight offensive fouls that were not fouls in reg season, much less the playoffs.

I am sick of this shit

[E20]

The Refs can do all they want. NOTHING is stopping this Spurs team from winning this game tonight.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

How the fuck is Greg Willard calling a game? He should be calling games at the Y, not in the WCF.

I guess that's Stern's ringer for the night.

[Nephets]

Massenburg should kick Amare's punk ass now.

[FromWayDowntown]

Three straight offensive fouls, all on minimal contact? And the Suns fans are going to claim this is being called straight up?

Parker used Stoudemire's move and got an offensive foul called on him!!!!!!!

I could just spit.

[Vashner]

Stearn'ed

[PM5K]

No Kidding....

[Dre_7]

Now I hope we get those same calls! Refs need to be consistant.

[rwb]

3 offensive fouls in a ROW??? Okay, normally I don't go for the refs are determining the game thing, but holy crap this is getting ridiculous.

[WalterBenitez]

Refs started to play?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Howabout the fact that Greg willard is calling a game at this point?

He's a worse ref than Violet Palmer could ever hope to be.

[Jimcs50]

The refs see that SA might actually win, so they are helping Phoenix...this is fucking bullshit

[mavsfan1000]

It's funny how Amare gets away with the same things that Mohammad gets called for.

[Ginofan]

This is fucking ridiculous SERIOUSLY. You know we are missing jumpshots or whatever but damn dude how the hell are they going to call that weak ass mess?

[50 cent]

Manu hasn't done shit. Making bad passes right and left. Tony is a no-show. The refs butt fucking us with no lube. How are we tied???

[Vashner]

Man those sweet 110+ vbookie odds don't look too good right now...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Man this officiating sucks. We get touch offensive fouls, Tim gets banged by three Suns, no foul.

I hate David Stern.

[WalterBenitez]

I know is hard, but could someone put some presure on Amare????

[Vashner]

Jjeeedi Manu!
