Spurs vs. Pistons Finals Game 2 -- Game Blog

[conversekid]

Predictable Piston quotes if we win:

They did what they were supposed to do, they won on their court. Now we go do da same thing.

We will win game 3.

Brown: Tell me how that wasn't a foul? You saw it... you tell me.

[WalterBenitez]

Damn, Manu missed twice in a row! Trade him! :lol

:lmao :lmao :lmao

[ducks]

come on this game is not over
lets get some points

[mrcoon29]

we need a basket now. Period.

[mrcoon29]

Well, I'll settle for some FT's made. :spin

[conversekid]

if spurs score 90 pistons can't win.

[conversekid]

give it to manu and run an iso... let him take over and finish it

[50 cent]

The Spurs are getting a little sloppy now. Come on Spurs.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

WTF is this iso shit we're trying to run now? Come on Pop, wake the fuck up. You tore them up with ball movement the first three quarters, why the need to force it to Duncan every fucking time?

DAMN.

[conversekid]

dont prove me wrong!.. spurs playin awful

[Rummpd]

Damm.

[conversekid]

and here come the refs...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

We aren't running the same offense we tore them up with earlier this game, lead down to 10.

Fucking A Pop, pull your head out.

[conversekid]

spurs playing scared... pop's butt is tightening up... did we get the lead with the stupid 4 down? move the ball!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The refs don't have shit to do with this.

Pop has quit running his offense and the players have started relaxing on defense.

[Rummpd]

The ball should be in Manu's hands the whole rest of the way period.

[ducks]

spurs need tp on the court that was a costly foul

[myhc]

we need to score NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! give it to manu for fuck sakes.

[conversekid]

how long have we gone without a field goal?

[rolbaza]

Sending the Spurs some Positive Karma.. anyone else

[WalterBenitez]

Pistons 10 Spurs 2 in 4q?

hummm we need to do sth, right now

[Vashner]

ARGH>. JUST SAY NO To... choke..

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The ball should be in Manu's hands the whole rest of the way period.

Exactly. Fuck four down (or whatever you want to call the Tim Duncan iso shit).

[mrcoon29]

Yes, i'm on the edge I don't need the news folks to tell me so.

[conversekid]

are spurs playing not to lose, rather than playing to win?

[GoldToe]

Spurs need to keep it together.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Get Manu the fucking ball.

Pop damn!

[mrcoon29]

GO SPURS GO, GO SPURS GO, GO SPURS GO!!
I'll take any foul by detroit right now.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

are spurs playing not to lose, rather than playing to win?

No, but their coach sure calls plays like it.

[WalterBenitez]

wow, that was a shit

[conversekid]

ok.. detroit made their run... now it's time for usu to close it out.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

MVP MVP MVP... [/chants with manu at the line]

[TMSKILZ]

Here we go with our 4 QTR collaspe!

We're done, Billups is pulling off a Ginobili here in the 4 Qtr! Spurs playing scared!

[WalterBenitez]

Manu will have to wear an NFL's uniform in Detroit

[Vashner]

Tim Duncan needs to take it strong to the hoop....

[mrcoon29]

FThrow contest soon.

[myhc]

that's what i'm talking about!!!

[conversekid]

Manu Manu Manu

[WalterBenitez]

Manu's time!!!

[conversekid]

Yes!! Bowen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[mrcoon29]

Manu!!! Bruce!!!

[atlfan25]

spurs rebounded well from detroit's run

[nkdlunch]

Ole, ole ole ole!! Manu! Manu!

[conversekid]

2 more points and we win! 90 is the statistical #

[Manu20]

That is the way you respond Spurs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[myhc]

Right now, so far in this series, MANU FUCKING GINOBLI is the MVP.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I don't know about a uniform, but he may need the pads.

Manu makes a steal, comes down and hits Bowen for three.

Is there any doubt? They need to re-name the fourth quarters Manu Time.

[Slo spurs fan]

Beno hits important FTs :elephant

[manubili]

manunlimited

[conversekid]

yes.. beno is proving very valuable... good to have him backing tony.

but MANU will win MVP of the finals, if we win.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Ginobili, with time to go...

21 points on 8 shots, 7 assists, 3 steals.

:hat

[nkdlunch]

what a steal! he said, "Give me that, bitch!"

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Beno is holding his own against Chauncey in the fourth. Good stuff.

At least Pop seems to have figured out that you don't crater in the fourth offensively if you put the ball in Manu's hands.

[mrcoon29]

Keep your belts we'll take the rings!! :lol Nice sign.

[conversekid]

ginobili... get the throws in...

[mrcoon29]

nice tip rebound

[conversekid]

this seems to be the ginobili/bowen 2 man show

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I think Tayshaun is being exposed as a fraud when it comes to being a "defensive stopper."

Crowd chanting M-V-P for Manu at the line. :hat

[mrcoon29]

Manu time. Yep. Someone needs to photoshop a Miller can. :drunk

[WalterBenitez]

Manu FLOPS 1 of 2 :lol
Manu FLOPS again :lol

Should we say MVP kind?

[Slo spurs fan]

Ohh c'mon Detroit I need 7 pts to win big vBookies :D

[rolbaza]

Sending the Spurs some Positive Karma.. anyone else


Positive Karma works!!!!!!

[conversekid]

Spurs Will Win Now!!!!!!! Woo Hooo!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Larry Brown gets Ted up. Where is the love Larry?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What's the over/under on Larry bitching about the officiating tonight? Even money?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lol If Manu would have made that....

[atlfan25]

pistons t'd up twice, they need to relax

[conversekid]

Spurs will have to be super focused game 3... detroit will get mass calls at home and their crowd will be pumped

[ducks]

horry has 5 assist!

[WalterBenitez]

talking seriously we need to protect Manu's body, that kind of hits really hurts

[conversekid]

ManuVP!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Ginobili with 27, 7, and 3, calling it a night.

[50 cent]

Pop takes Manu out with 3:26. Manu, you fucking badass!

[atlfan25]

we have a rasho sighting

[50 cent]

Horry!

[conversekid]

horrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry

[ducks]

13 free throws for manu tonight!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Come on Spurs, keep them in the 70s, my vBookie needs love.

Beno working the _efense, kicks to Horry for three.

[50 cent]

16-2 run in last 3 minutes. :tu

[conversekid]

man... new jersey was more challenging the first 2 games in 03....

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Horry ties the record for most 3 point FGs in the NBA Finals with Michael Jordan.

[mrcoon29]

It's a beautiful thing: 2-0 SPURS.

[conversekid]

wish he could break the record at home... but i'll welcome his 3's in detroit.

[ducks]

D. Milicic sighting
spurs are now in trouble!

[ducks]

T. Massenburg enters game for B. Udrih

[Slo spurs fan]

C'monn f****** Detroit 4 more!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Milicic is the truth. He just locked down Glenn Robinson on defense. :lol

[Slo spurs fan]

FUCKING Detroit I just lost v$5500

[conversekid]

Spurs Win Spurs Win Spurs Win!!!!!!

[WalterBenitez]

Yes SA < 100 pt, my vbookies are flying to my pocket

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

[atlfan25]

[rolbaza]

I still like what I read on another thread...

Funny Rasho will get a ring before Garnette will..

SPURS in 5

[atlfan25]

2 double digit wins. detroit needs to make serious adjustments to make this a series

[GoldToe]

Keep Goin' Bowen!!!!!

[mrcoon29]

who has the best after game coverage?? opinions??

[conversekid]

why didn't anyone believe me when I said we would destroy detroit? Don't disrespect my Spurs by comparing detroit's defense to theirs... bah!

[mrcoon29]

Funny Rasho will get a ring before Garnette will..
And I just love that fact!! :lol

[ALVAREZ6]

Spurs in 4.

[conversekid]

if the lost against la last year, after being up 2-0, taught the spurs anything, it's not to get comfortable. That's the only positive that came of it.

[WalterBenitez]

go spurs go

[Vashner]

Manu = Finals MVP

[Rummpd]

Said this over a week ago!

[Experiment2100]

Yes SA < 100 pt, my vbookies are flying to my pocket


The vbookie was PISTON points, you lost because you misread it.

[themvp]

Go Spurs Go :)

[conversekid]

Robert Horry making up for last year? He plays like this last year and we are going for a three peat.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Isn't it lovely to have a team that looks solid in the 4th quarter!

This team doesn't wilt under pressure any more, they just take a timeout, recommit themselves and come out with a run.

Gotta love this team.

Oh, and Beno was very solid under the biggest pressure of his life in the 4th.

2-0 baby, business taken care of. :) :) :)

[WalterBenitez]

Sorry if sounds stupid, but ...

Should we expect some Stern's influence to extend the series??? :oops

[dav4463]

Isn't this fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????????????? GO SPURS GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rolbaza]

Ric Buchler said on ESPN News this afternoon. He said the reason that PJ's name wwas withdrawn from cosideration was KJ had heard some negative things from (GUESS WHO) Latrell Spreewell. I bet PJ feels alot better. I say he stays on the bench and takes over for Popp when he retires after winning his 4th titlle next year. Why would PJ want to rebuild when he can continue to reload.
I still beleive this now more than ever

"Spurs own the Pistons"

[Vashner]

/gloat on

[TheAdmiral#50]

I know it's not over yet,but as long as we keeping playing "smart" basketball...then I think we own the Pistons...2 down and 2 to go!
GO SPURS GO! :spin

[spursupporter]

ginobili is incredible. very efficient, only need 8 shot attempts to get 27pts

[bigbendbruisebrother]

The game was great, but I was sweatin' the vBookie at the end there. I'm glad our bench played D during el tiempo de la basura.

How 'bout Bruce with the 3 dagger to kill the comeback?!

[TMSKILZ]

Bruce almighty!

[B.AlMighty]

Bruce almighty!

You got that right!

[rwb]

What a great game by the Spurs. Also very proud of the fans at the game giving Arroyo applause when he got up after hurting his ankle instead of being jerks like Seattle when Tim got hurt. Now if the people yelling in the background at the SBC Center during the ESPN post game show will please shut the hell up.

[TMSKILZ]

G0 Spurs Go!

[rolbaza]

KSAT 12 in San Antonio had a shot of people celebrating downtown on Market St.

[spursupporter]

Spurs the greatest team

[Quasar]

I still like what I read on another thread...

Funny Rasho will get a ring before Garnette will..

SPURS in 5

Hey guys,

I'm really happy the spurs destroyed the Pistons too.

But isn't this exactly what we were doing last year, when Spurs were 2-0 vs the lakers?

It's best to rejoice when Tim holds the trophy. :)

[Vashner]

No because we have Horry...

[zedman]

Bruce almighty!


You got that right!

Hey moron "Aggies HoopsFan" are you listening??????????
:lol


Go horns!!!!!!

[SLOVENIAN 8]

Great game! :smokin Detroit cant do shit.

In 4 quarter detroit was just bitching for nothing, man i hat this Rasheed :lol

Beno was playing good but he must shoot when he is open, in one action i thought that he would do layup but he pass out.

Great game by Manu again, and Rasho should get more minutes especialy in 2 half when Nazr was off.

[Slomo]

Overall I'm still very proud of his performance. :tu

P.S. Has anybody else noticed how seriously Rasho played despite the fact he was in only during garbage time? He reall went after the ball and everything. C'mon Pop give him a minute or two during Q2, you can see he's gagging for it :)
