Joshua: To win the game.

War Games.

[Arc]

i wonder if we'll see blair go back to the starting line up.

[Ice009]

“During these games, our 3-point percentage has gone in the toilet,” he said. “Our 3-point percentage has gone down, and it’s really been the difference.

“We’ve hung in every game, but you’ve got to shoot it well. There’s really no drill for that. You just have to hope that worm turns and we can shoot better.

“So we’ve got to concentrate on penetrating more, trying to move the ball a little better, and get more open, uncontested shots, and see if the percentage goes up at all.”

Sounds like Pop still wants the Spurs to shoot threes, and probably no Splitter.

[LakerHater]

David: What is the primary goal?
Joshua: You should know, Professor. You programmed me.
David: Oh, c'mon. What is the primary goal?
Joshua: To win the game.

wargames :lol

[TE]

There is no reason to lose this game. We're at home. We're pissed off.


It's time to win.

[lil'mo]

oh shit, bukefal's gonna cry his little eyes out

[slick'81]

fck phoenix lets go spurs!!

[LakerHater]

oh shit, bukefal's gonna cry his little eyes out
Oh shit, why didnt he make a thread & why doesnt he put central (U.S.) time?

[DJ Mbenga]

abc pregame is going to go nuts on the spurs

[alchemist]

should win but I'm expecting a turnover with 30 seconds left for a Frye 3-pt shot

[DesignatedT]

abc pregame is going to go nuts on the spurs

this is true.

[Frenzy]

Has any other playoff team had this long a losing streak?


On a silver line kinda way I find some solace that the spurs have lost so many games in a row and are still easily one of if not the top seed/s. Any other team loses that many games and they are dead in the water.

Who's doing commentary for Spurs/Suns? Brown & Tirico or Breen, Jackson & Van Gundy?

I hope it is not Tirico. I hate that fuck.

[Venti Quattro]

I can't stand Tirico too. He's the master of LeBron dick slobbing on national tv

[DrSteffo]

So, no Nash

[Venti Quattro]

Easy win for San Antonio.

[TD 21]

abc pregame is going to go nuts on the spurs

For sure.

The Spurs could come in on a 20 game winning streak with a point differential of 15 in that span and they'd still be talking doom and gloom. You can bet they'll talk about the defense (or lack thereof), the injuries, the lack of size off the bench. Then they'll tell us that because of that lack of size, they have no chance against the Lakers and finally, they'll tell us they think the Thunder are the Lakers biggest challengers in the West . . . and they'll do all this in between slobbering over the Lakers, Heat and Bulls and showing shots of Bryant arriving to the game and warming up before the game.

Then in the second game, Van Gundy will continually bring up the size of the Lakers front line and he and Jackson will praise every single thing Bryant does and pretend as if he doesn't get enough credit, even though all they do is credit him. Every call shown on replay, Jackson will say "that's a good call" or "that should have been a foul", if it goes the Lakers way. If it doesn't, he'll say the opposite. Then he'll throw a fit if the Lakers are losing. They'll go into/come out of almost every break by showing/mentioning Bryant, no matter how well or poorly he's playing. All the while, Van Gundy will incessantly complain and nag throughout, catch himself doing it at some point and then pretend as if he has a sense of humor, with a steady stream of forced/bad jokes.

When you've lost 6 in-a-row, you deserve everything you get.

Let them contemplate this upon the tree of woe.....crucify them, Phoenix.

[Borosai]

Do the fellas have another creative loss up their collective rectal sleeve? Let's hope they reach deep inside, grab that W, and pull it out.

Two for flinching.

[TE]

Easy win for San Antonio.

That's what we've been saying the last two games. :depressed

It'll happen this game.

[Venti Quattro]

It's really easy because essentially Phoenix has given up. However, if somehow San Antonio finds a way to fuck up this game, the first round will be the least of their problems. LA is going to skullfuck them on the 12th.

[Bukefal]

oh shit, bukefal's gonna cry his little eyes out

oh yes, Im devastated :(


lol thispedo, lil'ho :rollin

[duncan228]

Suns are 1-4 this season w/o Steve Nash. The win came Friday against the Clippers.

This is EXACTLY what we have...EVERY single time the spurs are on national tv...oh well..we're used to it...

It is pretty comical though...here's another one;

The spurs game will be in a pretty good and contested section and some pretty interesting things are happenin' on the court...

but Gundy and Jackson et al...will be DEEP in a ..."who's the best player between Kobe & Lebron" heated discussion which will take FOREVER...all the while...not even playcalling the game right in front of them...happens EVERY fuckin time...

You've no room. Your people aren't any better, Silv. The other nite that jagoff Elliott spent the lion's share of the evening talking about Lute Olson, the University of Arizona, GPA's and his own links to them. Only when you finally lost the f'in' game did he get off it.:rolleyes

Well I can't argue with that....EXCEPT...for the fact that Elliott is a Spur...and a homer and this is the norm...

BUT...the Espn's the ABC's of the world are allegedly NATIONAL networks and are supposed to be impartial...so there is no fuckin' excuse...

Steve Nash is not there but Aaron Brook will go for 30+ pts

Barry not ripping the Spurs at all. He is making very good points.

[5in10]

What channel?

[5in10]

All I see is church shit

[5in10]

What points is Barry making?

[DPG21920]

Hey, Pego......

[DPG21920]

Hubie is awesome.

[Fireball]

good thing is, Hubie will be on our side today ...

[DPG21920]

Gortat is a very good player. I would love him on the Spurs. He has really blossomed since the trade.

[DPG21920]

No one looks nearly as fresh or quick as they did just last game.

[DPG21920]

Grant Hill hitting 3's. Come on.

[DPG21920]

No foul?

[TE]

Dice with the J.

[Fireball]

where did I get that SpursTalk Cash?

[DPG21920]

Spurs getting lucky. They have missed 4 very easy shots.

[TE]

Wow what was that Parker?

[MannyIsGod]

Jesus Christ Dudley went horizontal there.

[duncan228]

where did I get that SpursTalk Cash?

Everybody got $2000, and there are a couple of vBookies for this game.

[DPG21920]

This defense is atrocious.

[TE]

Another uncontested basket.

[DPG21920]

Is it just me or does it look like everyone on the Spurs is running in quick sand?

[MannyIsGod]

I wish Grant Hill would play for the Spurs :(

[duncan228]

Duncan with the bank!

[Admidave50]

can someone pm a link please?

[DPG21920]

Great defense by Tim right there. Finally someone defends.

[DPG21920]

I wish Grant Hill would play for the Spurs :(

I'd take Dudley as well.

[MannyIsGod]

Actually I'd probably rather have Dudley. He must be the greatest player to be a fan of in the NBA. The only way you hate Jared Dudley is if he punched your mother.

[crc21209]

:lol Dudley that piece of trash....

[alchemist]

crofl at that defensive display......JD scored on 3 Spurs...............................crofl

[DPG21920]

It's also hilarious how Wilbon said no one fears the Spurs at all anymore because of the way they play. He said at the all-star game, numerous players told him to chill out on the Spurs and that they were no where near the championship Spurs of the past.

[duncan228]

:lol



Lots of empty seats to start this nooner at AT&T Center. Is it the early tipoff? Or folks fleeing the bandwagon?

[Fireball]

Is it just me or does it look like everyone on the Spurs is running in quick sand?

I think it looks that way for both teams ... early game time ... they are still sleeping

[Bill_Brasky]

I already sorta don't like what I'm seeing.

What does Wilbon know? :lol

[FromWayDowntown]

It's early, and it's probably just me functioning on way too little sleep, but the Spurs look like a team that has seen its mortality and is now totally unmotivated and beaten.

[MannyIsGod]

I'd take Dudley as well.

:lol

I posted what I said about Dudley before reading this. Those 2 are awesome.

[Manu20]

A good old fashion blow out would help regain some of the spurs confidence.

[Pauleta14]

I wish Pop would go concervative and rest Manu intil the PO...

I fear the worst

[WeNeedLength]

Bonner first off the bench. :bang:bang:bang:bang:bang

[TE]

Nice... seeing that type of ball movement rather than shooting another three is delightful.

[MannyIsGod]

George Hill in and taking it to the hole like a REAL NBA PLAYER.

[baseline bum]

Alright - Ginger in over Splitter and Blair again! :tu

[DPG21920]

What does Wilbon know? :lol

It wasn't Wilbon who said those things. It was NBA All-Stars telling him that.

[Spurologist]

Rrrrrrjjjjjjjjjjjj 3333333333333333333

[Chieflion]

+2 for Matt Bonner, he didn't even do anything.

[baseline bum]

Nice to see Dick hitting the open three. It's the only thing that gives me any confidence this team is better than last year's.

[TE]

Damn that pick and roll.

[DPG21920]

TP balling. :lol Gortat with the flop.

[baseline bum]

CROFL Gortat flop.

[TE]

Splitter in!!!!

[DesignatedT]

Splitter in early. Nice

[CFH]

Splitter second big off the bench!

[MannyIsGod]

SPLITTER IN OVER BLAIR. Its a fucking MIRACLE.

[DPG21920]

Tiago in early. I love it. Blair out of the rotation? Tiago stops Gortat at the rim. Interior D.

[Spurologist]

Splitter with a nice D play there

[TE]

This lineup, although it contains Bonner, is vastly more potent than the forsaken Blair/Bonner lineup.

[DPG21920]

I just posted 4 consecutive thoughts in one sentence ^

[tdunk21]

hill plays very well at home

[baseline bum]

SPLITTER IN OVER BLAIR. Its a fucking MIRACLE.

Nice. Rummpd's email to Pop must have worked.

[DPG21920]

Close this quarter out in a big way, guys. Hold them down.

[timtonymanu]

We havent seen Bonner/Blair since the Boston game. Hopefully Pop sticks with that.

[DPG21920]

Nice. Rummpd's email to Pop must have worked.

:rollin

You see those periods you used bro? That means they were different sentences. Sorry to have to drop some 2nd grad education on you.

[Chieflion]

Steve Javie, still the quickest technical foul whistler in the NBA. Joey Crawford is the most funny and ridiculous one though.

[Spurologist]

Nice. Rummpd's email to Pop must have worked.

:lmao

[duncan228]

Think he'll ask Pop about it post-game?



Interesting rotation development: Tiago Splitter the fourth big man off the bench instead of DeJuan Blair.

[ogait]

Tiago as a direct backup for Tim. Makes sense specially considering the matchup Gortat. I wouldn't like Blair out of the rotation but Splitter is an obvious choice this time.

[MannyIsGod]

Nice. Rummpd's email to Pop must have worked.

:lmao

[Manu20]

Hill looks like he came ready to play! :toast

[Fireball]

I just posted 4 consecutive thoughts in one sentence ^

where is this other guy who always does this ? his avatar is a bouncing Spurs ball ...

[Libri]

So Pop is going to sacrifice Blair. Bonner will get significant minutes, no matter what.

[timtonymanu]

where is this other guy who always does this ? his avatar is a bouncing Spurs ball ...

LMAO cutewizard

[timtonymanu]

So Pop is going to sacrifice Blair. Bonner will get significant minutes, no matter what.

If it avoids a Bonner/Blair lineup, I'll take it. All I wanted Pop to do was dump one of them in favor of Splitter.

[Spurologist]

Think he'll ask Pop about it post-game?

when the last time pop was asked about Bonner/Splitter mins?

[baseline bum]

Nice pass from Dick to Splitter.

[Fireball]

LMAO cutewizard

thats his name, yeah ... he's either on Red Bull or coffee the way he is posting

[DPG21920]

You see those periods you used bro? That means they were different sentences. Sorry to have to drop some 2nd grad education on you.

Ya, I blacked out when I posted that. Forgot about the periods.

[tdunk21]

tiago is a good pick n roll defender

[Bill_Brasky]

God damn it Splitter sucks at FTs.

[baseline bum]

Splitter's FT looked like Brandon Knight's jumper from last night.

[CFH]

Damn that free throw form!

[DesignatedT]

wow those free throws

[DPG21920]

Who the f is this Suns point guard

[Nathan89]

Look like genuine sportsmanship by vince carter to see if splitter was ok. Just gained a little respect for the VC.

[MannyIsGod]

He missed that layup, but I like the way Jefferson has played in this quarter.

[DPG21920]

:lmao RJ. Million dollar move, RJ finish.

[baseline bum]

Damn, Spurs should have tried to trade for Hill at the deadline.

[Bill_Brasky]

Nice drive by RJ, he was fouled but no call, I want him to keep that up.

[SplitterHook]

why in the name of god splitter changed his shooting motion? 60%+ is fine... wtf

[timtonymanu]

thats his name, yeah ... he's either on Red Bull or coffee the way he is posting

Manu is back yeah

24 points, 10 rebounds

Duncan/Splitter is a great lineup

JA played well.

Hopefully he gets more playing time.
:flag:

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao

What a bullshit call.

[baseline bum]

Wow, Phoenix with a nice defensive play.

[TIMMYD!]

Retarted call on Tony.

[Spurologist]

that's not a travel...bullshit

[MannyIsGod]

Nevermind - he had position so they could have called a charge.

[TE]

That was a bad call. Tony didn't even have full control of the ball.

[Fireball]

I would take Grant Hill over RJ any day of the week

[MannyIsGod]

that's not a travel...bullshit

It was a charge. I'd rather have the travel call.

[timtonymanu]

Hill playing well

[tdunk21]

yeah hill

[TE]

Hill making it rain, looking like a different player out there.

[MannyIsGod]

George Mfing Hill.

[CFH]

Hill is on fire!

[baseline bum]

Hill on fire. Good sign.

[WeNeedLength]

George Hill fuckin ballin!

[DPG21920]

Hill is not even thinking. He is just firing. Great stuff :tu

[Spurologist]

Hhhiiiiillllllllllll 3333333333333333333

[DesignatedT]

thats what im talkin about george. take that shot more often

[alchemist]

this is why HC is important, Hill can get it going here.

[Venti Quattro]

Easy win for San Antonio.

[TE]

Hill again!

[tdunk21]

hill is beasting

[MannyIsGod]

George mfin hill.

[Admidave50]

Hill playing great at home

[TIMMYD!]

George is ballin'.

[Bartleby]

Hill should call out the fans more often

[MannyIsGod]

Damn - Hill is PISSED. I fucking LOVE this version of Hill. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

[timtonymanu]

Hill is not even thinking. He is just firing. Great stuff :tu

He needs that mentality more often.

[DPG21920]

I bet you Hill got my tweet. Told him when you are aggressive, great things happen, so why not do that every night.

[TIMMYD!]

Manu still shooting retarted ass 3s.

[baseline bum]

Manu must be battling some major fatigue right now. His threes have no legs on them lately.

[TE]

Vince Carter has fallen so fast, it's saddening.

[ace3g]

Every time someone mentions his FT form being bad I will post this: http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5090804#post5090804

Blame the coaching staff, not Splitter

[alchemist]

I would take Grant Hill over RJ any day of the week
he choose PHX instead of SA. I think they guaranteed him minutes, he didn't even call PJ. He could've had 2 rings by now with LA :wow

[timtonymanu]

Damn Hill, he's almost as good at that as Manu.

[TIMMYD!]

Smart play by Hill. Fouled, 3 FTs coming up.

[DPG21920]

Hill is a very solid role player when aggressive. He can really do a lot of good things.

[Spurologist]

Dowdelllllllllllllllll 33333333333333333333333

shots for Hill :lol

[WeNeedLength]

Manu still shooting retarted ass 3s.

LOL yep...

[baseline bum]

Damn - Hill is PISSED. I fucking LOVE this version of Hill. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

No shit. I'm going to have to create a twitter account to troll him tonight.

[DesignatedT]

Hill :tu That's what im talkin about son.

[Admidave50]

Wow, Hill with a perfect 1st quarter

[baseline bum]

Vince Carter has fallen so fast, it's saddening.

Fuck Carter. After the way he quit on Toronto, it's beautiful seeing his career circling the drain.

[c whata11]

Hill on track for 64 points?

[Spurologist]

It was a charge. I'd rather have the travel call.

:tu

my heavily biased opinion wanted to type 'block' but I just couldn't do it

[DPG21920]

Great job. The Suns had 16 with like 4 minutes to go and Spurs held them to 20. Now, the Suns are lacking serious talent and they missed a number of easy shots, but the Spurs kept them to 1 shot and done and then they pushed and got good looks of their own.

Spurs 2nd unit, even though they gave up some easy looks, looked 10x better defensively overall with Tiago in there. Not even close. The offense didn't suffer either. This has to be how it is going forward.

[Manu20]

Hill with 16 points in the 1st Q.

[ajballer4]

Hill is $$$$ today

[Chieflion]

Spurstalk needs to troll George Hill on twitter now.

[Manu20]

Now will the Real Manu Stand Up :(

[JohnnySixString]

It's good to see the Spurs can compete with a team who has less defense than them,lol.

[TE]

Hill is a very solid role player when aggressive. He can really do a lot of good things.

It's not just being aggressive. If Hill ever so slightly thinks about his shot it's a guaranteed clank (which is how he played for a large stretch of the season). His play today has no signs of that. He's just letting it fly.

[Fireball]

he choose PHX instead of SA. I think they guaranteed him minutes, he didn't even call PJ. He could've had 2 rings by now with LA :wow

I loved Grant Hill ever since ... but I'm still glad Duncan did not join him in Orlando ...

[Spurologist]

Damn - Hill is PISSED. I fucking LOVE this version of Hill. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

another great post twitter performance

[quentin_compson]

Great to see Hill playing confident and aggressive. Bonner, on the other hand, is already passing up threes again ...

[Manu20]

Is it just me or does Carter look kinda of out of shape??

[Fireball]

Spurs did not give up 30 points in the first quarter ... was it defense? Gentry: we just missed some shots

[Pauleta14]

Pop should rest Manu and play Hill instead until the PO...

+ that will allow George to gain confidence and give some PT to Anderson

[ace3g]

great job by Splitter keeping that play alive

[Spurologist]

Bonner steals Splitter's offensive rebound....FUCKER :lol

[ace3g]

Neal with it

[DPG21920]

Tiago keeps Bonner's miss alive and then Bonner comes into to finish it. Good job.

[CFH]

20 point lead, Spurs better not blow this

[Venti Quattro]

When Bonner makes layups it essentially means you are fucked

[DesignatedT]

Yes sir. I love it.

[Capt Bringdown]

Flabbergasted at Pop going with Splitter over Blair...is Blair injured/sick?

[baseline bum]

This is exactly the kind of game the Spurs need. Better beat this shit team by 20+.

[quentin_compson]

Is it just me or does Carter look kinda of out of shape??

Yeah, looks like he gave himself a little bit of the old Eddie Curry treatment. :lol

[TE]

I like the way the team is playing, but they're shooting way to many threes to be successful (although they're being made). Gotta set something up inside.

[Manu20]

A good old fashion blow out would help regain some of the spurs confidence.

:toast

[TE]

Yeah, looks like he gave himself a little bit of the old Eddie Curry treatment. :lol

:lol

[DPG21920]

Pop should rest Manu and play Hill instead until the PO...

+ that will allow George to gain confidence and give some PT to Anderson

I don't think you can afford to do that. Spurs have to keep the number one seed, especially with the fact NO is the 8th seed now. I just hope Pop can afford to rest Manu the last game of the season (its a back to back).

That would give him 2 or 3 days of rest.

[Fireball]

wow ... Bonners stat sheets only shows a zero with blocks ...

[WeNeedLength]

I wish we could beat a team by pounding them down low instead of jacking 3s.

[TE]

Great feed by Hill to Bonner.

[MannyIsGod]

Bonner and one! :lol

[alchemist]

bonner cutting? haha!!!!!! wow

[Spurminator]

Great look by Hill.

[ace3g]

Bonner with the and 1 off a drive???/

[TIMMYD!]

:wow Bonner reverse lay-up and-1.

[Manu20]

When Bonner makes layups it essentially means you are fucked

How about 2 layups?? lol

[DPG21920]

Tiago's activity is infectious on both ends. He is just "in the mix". He creates opportunity. The defense that is normally so terrible with the second unit, is dramatically better. Tiago covers for a lot of people. His rotations are very good.

[WeNeedLength]

Matt Bonner with the And1... WTF :lmao

[Chieflion]

Suns defense, too shitty.

[Spurologist]

:lol Bonner has affirmed his place in the spurs rotation for 25+ mins for the rest of the season

[timtonymanu]

Who the hell is Dowdell?

[Fireball]

Tiago's activity is infectious on both ends. He is just "in the mix". He creates opportunity. The defense that is normally so terrible with the second unit, is dramatically better. Tiago covers for a lot of people. His rotations are very good.

love it ...

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao

Bonner playing out of his mind!

[timtonymanu]

Bonner hustling for boards. What is this?

[TIMMYD!]

Bonner. :lol

[DesignatedT]

Bonner and Tiago playing well together.

[WeNeedLength]

What the fuck has gotten into Matt Bonner?!?!?!??

[DPG21920]

Bonner's 3PT shot is way off. It is not even close, but props to Bonner for his activity on the glass today :tu. Way to contribute when your shot isn't falling Matt.

[CFH]

Bonner is rebounding and getting putbacks, only against the Suns

[ogait]

3 layups for Bonner is that some kind of a record for him?

[TE]

Wtf, did Bonner come to ST? He looks like he heard a thousand people talk shit about how horrid he plays.

[ace3g]

Bonner all of a sudden cleaning up the mess on the boards???? coincidence it happens when Splitter is on the court....

[Bill_Brasky]

Bonner bricking 3's per the usual, but I'm liking his hustle on the boards.

[Manu20]

Who is this #15 guy??

[baseline bum]

Haha.. Phoenix is fucking shit. Hakeem Bonner carving their asses up on the glass and at the rim.

[MannyIsGod]

Tiago's activity is infectious on both ends. He is just "in the mix". He creates opportunity. The defense that is normally so terrible with the second unit, is dramatically better. Tiago covers for a lot of people. His rotations are very good.

I agree. He may not be scoring but his box out allowed that Bonner put back. I like Blair, but Blair does not fit in this rotation right now except as the fifth big.

[Libri]

Being beat by Bonner is like the ultimate insult.

[Giuseppe]

1 & 6!

tee, hee.

[TIMMYD!]

Bonner hustling for boards. What is this?

I'd say it's the Suns defense.

[Caeman]

I'm glad to see we're playing a little bigger today. Need to still see the towers play together.

[maddnezz]

Who is that guy wearing number 15? Never seen him before.

[WeNeedLength]

Dear Jesus Bonner is already a +20. That guy who argues player quality based on +/- is going to have a field day now. :lol

[Chieflion]

What the hell at Suns defense. How can you allow all that to happen?

[quentin_compson]

I thin Manu just asked Bonner: "What the fuck is wrong with you, Matt?" :lmao
