Game Blog: 1/4/12 - Spurs vs. Warriors

[LakerHater]

Everyone standin & watchin Neal

[Spur|n|Austin]

This. Is. Garbage. TP looks like shit and we can't play D. Does Bonner have lead shoes?

[timtonymanu]

Now I kind of wish we were still in a lockout.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Where the fuck was the screen? And Neal just went sprawling to the floor! Pathetic first half and if they pick up the D, Warriors will go home with a win.

[Fireball]

they make look tanking really realistic

[ElNono]

.400 ball looking increasingly appealing now...

[Russ]

Neal trying to play hero... what else do we need to stand? :pctoss

They'll come back and win.:hat

[Dex]

Well at least they have cool compression socks.

[Bill_Brasky]

Neal trying to play hero... what else do we need to stand? :pctoss

Nobody set a screen for him. He is absolutely the guy I want taking the last shot at the buzzer.

[ulosturedge]

Play Bonner 40 minutes a game should do the trick :)

[4>0rings]

even Bonner sprinting makes me sick

Seriously, I was embarrassed when he ran across the court.

[timtonymanu]

Nothing to take from that first half.

Blair/Timmy/RJ are the only ones who look decent, but their play is still very mediocre today.

[loveforthegame]

Warriors playing pretty damn good defense too.

Who's going to step up for the Spurs? They look mostly lost out there.

[Fireball]

did someone listen to this fucking Bulls announcer yesterday when Rose won the game against the Hawks ... what an idiot

[Dex]

Seriously, I was embarrassed when he ran across the court.

[ulosturedge]

We don't have any stars on the court anymore. Who are they gonna go to? lol

[DPG21920]

Is RC sober? Shocker.

[dbestpro]

Tony has got to give up the ball and start trusting his teammates. There is no future with Tony trying to do it all. Either they will be good enough or they won't, but they have to at least be given the chance to try.

[mexicanjunior]

LOL...Mr DWI doing the Mitchell presentation. Should have had Gervin do it...

[stephen jackson]

did someone listen to this fucking Bulls announcer yesterday when Rose won the game against the Hawks ... what an idiot

he sickened me. sounded so rehearsed

[stephen jackson]

come on guys we cant blame rc for turning to alcohol after watching this team the last few years.

[007nites]

Damn even Bonner is getting more rebounds than Timmy these days

[Fireball]

he sickened me. sounded so rehearsed

thanks ... I thought I was alone in that regard ...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol This guy is awesome

[DPG21920]

So drunk, no-job doing RC, then this awkwardness. :tu Spurs

[Fireball]

Bonner played decent ... our perimeter defense is the problem here ... its not as if Ellis or Curry are attacking the basket

[Bill_Brasky]

come on guys we cant blame rc for turning to alcohol after watching this team the last few years.
:rollin

[bbarry]

Warriors playing pretty damn good defense too.

Who's going to step up for the Spurs? They look mostly lost out there.

lol no.

hardly.

spurs are absolutely lost on defense, and have no rhythm on offense due to how many new guys they are playing.

[Spurs Brazil]

Ice!

[007nites]

We can't let Kwame get the better of us.

[ulosturedge]

Tony has got to give up the ball and start trusting his teammates. There is no future with Tony trying to do it all. Either they will be good enough or they won't, but they have to at least be given the chance to try.

I agree they need to start incorporating JA and Kawhi into the offense even if it means losing some games or alot of them. They aren't gonna do anything in the playoffs without getting contributions from everyone. If we make the playoffs lol.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Anyone tell me why my avatar isn't working? Any time I try to upload a custom picture it doesn't work... and yes, the file size is small and under required pixel size.

[urunobili]

the worst part of this is letting Mark Jackson think he's better than the Spurs...

[timvp]

R.I.P. Mike Mitchell. Great dude.

I played with Mike Mitchell Jr. a couple years and that's really good fam.

Way too young.

[mexicanjunior]

the worst part of this is letting Mark Jackson think he's better than the Spurs...

"Mama there goes those Spurs again..."

http://ambasketball.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/amd_jackson.jpg

[Fireball]

the worst part of this is letting Mark Jackson think he's better than the Spurs...

bullshit ... Mark Jackson is a good guy trying to teach the Warriors the right things ... and he knows how important Manu is for the Spurs

[stephen jackson]

kwame brown is a character i was cracking up every minute he played.

[urunobili]

RC drunk for real?

[NRHector]

bad timing for the commercial Manu " is part of the healing process" :depressed

[Russ]

R.I.P. Mike Mitchell. Great dude.

He had that mid-range turnaround J.

Pretty much gone from the game now.

[8FOR!3]

Watching James Anderson is fucking depressing. I feel like I'm watching a damn Dallas Cowboys game. He's playing great, until he shoots the fucking ball. And he can't hit the broadside of the fucking barn. He seriously = the Cowboys run game - DeMarco Murray.

Duncan looks solid enough offensively, Neal's also impressing me again already shooting the ball. I even like what I see out of Blair on the offensive side, but we've got to find a way to guard Ellis and Curry, they're fucking killing us.

[timvp]

When Matt Bonner was the best player on your team in the first half and he went scoreless, you know there are some issues.

:depressed

[urunobili]

bullshit ... Mark Jackson is a good guy trying to teach the Warriors the right things ... and he knows how important Manu is for the Spurs

Fuck Mark Jackson his crew, his fan and wherever he goes. He vomited on the Spurs for years generating the wrong image/perception of the team with his biased hatred comments as he was calling the games foe ESPN.

[ulosturedge]

Watching James Anderson is fucking depressing. I feel like I'm watching a damn Dallas Cowboys game. He's playing great, until he shoots the fucking ball. And he can't hit the broadside of the fucking barn. He seriously = the Cowboys run game - DeMarco Murray.

Ellis and Curry are fucking playing horse out there.

[4>0rings]

The natural tank 2012!

[Brazil]

Ellis and Curry are fucking playing horse out there.

Ellis and Curry are playing horse against a lot of team tbh

[ElNono]

RJ with an RJ pass

[Fireball]

cmon Curry ...twist that ankle again

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ finally attacking

[The ADMIRAL 50]

Great last minute of the first half and first minute of the second for Anderson: 2 FGs and took a charge. Honestly huge for him so far.

[ulosturedge]

Wow they are missing. Can we make some shots now!

[bbarry]

lol @ spurs only being down 4 pts.

this shows how bad the warriors are defensively.

[Robz4000]

I'll give it another half. Curry and Ellis always give the team trouble, but they're definitely lacking energy. Saw flashes of it towards the end of the half, so let's see what comes out in the second half. If they do lose this of all games then initiate panic mode.

[Fireball]

good RJ ... now make the FTs

[Spurs Brazil]

Rj 333333333333333333333333

[ElNono]

det D

[bbarry]

duncan you retard

lol

[4>0rings]

Duncan bout to go ham on a nicka

[007nites]

c'mon timmeh

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

What kind of bullshit call is this? Technical foul for a simple complaint?

[timtonymanu]

RJ playing well at least.

[LakerHater]

Tim got murdered......... & a T!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD with a old school move

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Timmah time!

[007nites]

Timmy!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Jefferson with the flop... :/

[Fireball]

give the ball to RJ ... he is good tonight

[Spurs Brazil]

Make a damn shot Tony

[007nites]

Pound the ball into Duncan and let that nikka work

[bbarry]

i cringe when blair shoots a outside shot

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

The Anderson slump continues

[urunobili]

Please Keep RJ on the floor... bench JA for Kawhi

[bbarry]

Rj 3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ another 33333333333333333333333333333333

[ulosturedge]

Wow Jefferson trying to make his paycheck today.

[DPG21920]

Yay, the jump shots are falling.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

RJ is FLAMING

[Robz4000]

This is what we need from RJ!

[angelbelow]

Nice within 1 and Ellis and Curry have slowed down.

[ElNono]

Time to sit down RJ... he's feeling it

[Bill_Brasky]

RJ is unreal atm....

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Another great 3 for Jefferson! This 4-5 shooting from him has drastically changed my opinion on him for now. He's been looking much sharper recently.

[LakerHater]

RJ is FLAMING
:lmao

[ulosturedge]

And tell Anderson to quit being a pussy and keep shootin' the rock. They will start fallin'.

[Fireball]

calm down Bill ... don't go Bulls anouncer on me

[timtonymanu]

Good. This is all I want out of RJ at this point. Help the team win some games in the regular season.

[DPG21920]

Just win. I don't care if it's not enjoyable to watch :lol

[stephen jackson]

imagin if we cut rj :(

[timtonymanu]

Still expecting a GS run out of the timeout. Spurs have to stay focused.

[DPG21920]

In reality I am really sad about this. Every time I watch Tim struggle, TP play completely like he's 53 and they show Manu on the bench I can't help but think it's not supposed to end this ugly.

[Brazil]

Another great 3 for Jefferson! This 4-5 shooting from him has drastically changed my opinion on him for now. He's been looking much sharper recently.

he was very good last year at the same time of the year

[007nites]

We need to go into Timmy and go inside out if we want to win this.

[TDMVPDPOY]

team plays better when more ball m ovement

[DPG21920]

Kwame with some great defense.

[DPG21920]

Spurs lead! I don't even have a word to describe how they are winning. I want to say gnishing their way back, but that's not even a real word.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fuck yea we got the lead

[urunobili]

Sorry for Kawhi but RJ needs more minutes...

[007nites]

Kwah-May! Brown!

[ulosturedge]

Fuck Tony..

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK Tony DAMN

[007nites]

Timmy is grinding it out there

[DPG21920]

TP can't get by a guy on a bum ankle?

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony Parker the run killer

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

he was very good last year at the same time of the year

That's why people should ALSO be worried. He could easily go into another one of shit slumps.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Curry schooling Parker on shooting 101

[ElNono]

well, so much for that

[ulosturedge]

Told ya no all-stars on the court...

[timtonymanu]

You can count on TP to fuck everything up with his 1-on-1 bullshit.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Tony just killed the crowd. And Warriors are back ahead.

[Bill_Brasky]

Every time Tony takes the jumper I cringe. It's just not falling dude, pass the rock.

That lead didn't last very long at all.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Tony's game is trash right now!

[Robz4000]

Down by 4 again. Might as well be 14 with how bad the offense is tonight.

[Fireball]

Danny Green in instead of Kawhi ... must not be a bad thing

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Even though we're pretty sure to suck overall this year, I will enjoy watching the youngsters develop.

Love to know where TPs game has gone though!?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Even though we're pretty sure to suck overall this year, I will enjoy watching the youngsters develop.

Love to know where TPs game has gone though!?

[timtonymanu]

That was like Game 1 of the MEM series with TP's shot.

[Fireball]

Parker and Neal cannot guard anything tonight

[ulosturedge]

Neal seems to still have his swag. Good thing cause we need anything we can get...

[ace3g]

curry ankle...

[bbarry]

curry hobbling

[4>0rings]

The Spurs are the most clueless team I've ever seen on fastbreaks.

[ElNono]

There's the daily Curry sprain... just shut him down poor kid

[stephen jackson]

how was that not a backcourt on timmay

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF, Curry ankle again

[ElNono]

We have a 3 on 1 and we let them foul us? smh

[Fireball]

there you go Curry

[Robz4000]

Don't wanna win this way...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

TP can't get by a guy on a bum ankle?

should be able to now :lol

[angelbelow]

Ouch, always sucks to see an injury take place.

[mexicanjunior]

cmon Curry ...twist that ankle again

Ask and you shall receive...

[stephen jackson]

ike ike

[ulosturedge]

So this is what it has come to huh. We gonna try and steal a win from the Golden State Warriors lol.

[Fireball]

Don't wanna win this way...

Manu is out ... Curry heals fast ... I take it

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

nice Green

[ace3g]

nice drive by Green, he always surprises me with how high he can jump

[Fireball]

Ask and you shall receive...

he shows he heals fast, otherwise I would not say such a thing

[ElNono]

Green >>>> Leonard... and he's starting to get his minutes

[stephen jackson]

i dont get why pop loves green so much.

[ace3g]

Spurs make a little run and Bonner comes in ...

[stephen jackson]

pops mad lol :pop:

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop is mad at Tiago

[ElNono]

lol Pop tearing Tiago a new one

[urunobili]

Hack a Kwame by Tiago?

[TDMVPDPOY]

danny g reen is going to get us the win

shit MR.ED is back in the game

[DPG21920]

lmao Pop killing Tiago and not Bonner every second.

[stephen jackson]

oh were close Bonner get in there :pop:

[ElNono]

:pop: "Look at Bonner, put your hands up and back away"

[DAF86]

Tonyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[LakerHater]

Pop chewin out Tiago!!

[Fireball]

yeah Pop ... Tiago is the problem here

[Spurs Brazil]

Finally Tony

[timtonymanu]

:pop: "Look at Bonner, put your hands up and back away"

:lol

[urunobili]

lol TP denying the hand slap to Neal :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Gotta feel for Curry - given the way he just injured it doing nothing, that ankle will need a month's rest and intensive rehab at the very least to get some strength back.

[stephen jackson]

bonner mandhandled by a 6'7 forward hahaa

[LakerHater]

Keep attackin Tony!

[timtonymanu]

Seriously, better for Tiago to hack than doing the t-rex arm raise.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Green >>>> Leonard... and he's starting to get his minutes

green is probably the current best prospect out of the young wing players on the squad...

[Robz4000]

If they can't beat a GS team sans Curry, we're done.

[DPG21920]

Green looking solid again. Love his grittyness and he shoots well so far.

[Spurs Brazil]

Green 333333333333333333333333333

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

:pop: "Look at Bonner, put your hands up and back away"

:lol

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Danny Green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[angelbelow]

Danny Green.. wow. What a pick up, thanks for the tip Ferry.

[urunobili]

ok Im a Danny Green fan after that 3...

[NASpurs]

:pop: "Look at Bonner, put your hands up and back away"


lmao Pop killing Tiago and not Bonner every second.

:lol I was thinking exactly the same shit.

I don't understand Pop's infatuation with Bonner when he's tearing Splitter a new one. He's lost any credibility when it comes to coaching defense with Bonner out there.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Danny Green 333333333333

[DAF86]

Size!

[stephen jackson]

omg bonner sickens me......

[DPG21920]

Rebounding. Rebounding. Keep it up.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

god damn splitter u can DUNK 1 ft away from the rim

[timtonymanu]

Green is playing the way Anderson needs to play.

[itzsoweezee]

Green really deserves more playing time. He's made really positive contributions every time he gets to play.

[DPG21920]

That was nice, Monta.

[FkLA]

Get TJ in.

[ulosturedge]

Splitter and his shotput freethrows lol..

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

oh were close Bonner get in there :pop:

:lol:

[ElNono]

Tony can't guard Monta... he couldn't guard Curry and Monta can jump over him

[stephen jackson]

tony has a horrific attitude wtf is wrong with him

[Spurs Brazil]

damn

[DPG21920]

TP can't get by anyone. Now he is having to grind and push with lots of contact as he gets bodied up.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

4th quarter needs to be redemption time.

[007nites]

TP needs to hit the weight room

[timtonymanu]

Need to play 12 mins of awesome ball. Spurs are still in it.

TP, wake the fuck up, man.

[angelbelow]

That was nice, Monta.

Yeah, Sean's right, that was Payton-esqe.

[ElNono]

70 points over 3 quarters isn't bad considering we're missing a 20ppg guy... but that defense has to get better... if GS gets to 100 this game is over.

[Fireball]

Neals -21 show that he still is a defensive liability

[Bill_Brasky]

Why is Parker guarding Monta?

[angelbelow]

:lol I was thinking exactly the same shit.

I don't understand Pop's infatuation with Bonner when he's tearing Splitter a new one. He's lost any credibility when it comes to coaching defense with Bonner out there.

Ehh. I think pop just knows what hes going to get from Bonner, flakey offense and piss poor defense.

But with Tiago, theres a lot of potential for him to get better so I don't mind Pop ripping Splitter with constructive criticism.

[DPG21920]

Energy unit. Spurs should get the lead with this crew.

[ElNono]

TJ Ford on Monta Ellis????? WTF Pop!!!!!!

[ElNono]

Tiago playing small again

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF Tiago

[urunobili]

There you go Dick. Tell Bonner something as Pop woudnt do so...

[Fireball]

Bonner ... you can take your arms down now

[timtonymanu]

Come on.

[Spurs Brazil]

great play Green

[Splits]

Splitter is so horrible on offense. Airball, turnover...

[ace3g]

Tj 3!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

TJ for 33333333333333333

[DPG21920]

:wow TJ :lol

[itzsoweezee]

Danny Green motherfuckers

[DPG21920]

Sean: That TJ three catches the Warriors off guard.

Uh, it caught everyone off guard.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

TJ is looking great tonight as well.

[urunobili]

TJ > Parker?

[GB20]

:wow

[DPG21920]

TJ has had a great game (based on expectations).

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TJ has been turning down open layups but just decided to splash that!? WTF???

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

This is incredibly frustrating.

[Spurs Brazil]

When TJ is playing better than Parker you know we're in a huge hole

[ace3g]

for a second I thought Lee made that 3, I was about turn off the tv...

TJ follows with another jumper

[ElNono]

Team Capt TJ Ford leading the charge

[ace3g]

TJ to Tiago!!!

[urunobili]

Tiagooooooo!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

I bet Klay Thompson is averaging like 1/4 of what he's shooting tonight.

[DPG21920]

TJ is ballin' right now. Just bringing some life into this team.

[Fermixalot]

TJ Ford bringing the Spurs back! Splitter dunk!!!

[FkLA]

Start TJ!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

TJ>>>>>>Parker

[ace3g]

really, those type of bounces go in, that was great D by Green

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TJ also suprisingly able to keep up with Ellis. Interesting.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 33333333333333333

[urunobili]

Ellis... my god... cant hey convict him already?

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Holy shit TJ is on a roll!

[DPG21920]

What a pass by TJ :tu

[ace3g]

wow Bonner finally hits a 3..

[ggoose25]

tj = new speedy claxton

[ulosturedge]

Wow TJ showing Parker how to run a team.

[LakerHater]

Tiago with the dunk??

[itzsoweezee]

Finally, a dunk by Tiago. Ford's embarrassing the haters.

[angelbelow]

Finally! Bonner makes an open 3.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

GD Monta

[007nites]

TJ Ford are you kiddin me? Killin it out there!

[ElNono]

Ellis rapedPERIOD

[DAF86]

TJ playing great.

[stephen jackson]

people hated tj smh

[boutons_deux]

I think Ellis is a really shitty name. :)

[DPG21920]

Monta is freaking ballingggggggggggggggggg. He is an electric scorer. Keep Danny on him though.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck yeah Ford!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fuck Ellis can't be stopped

[Bill_Brasky]

I like that Danny is on Ellis now. He just made a couple of tough shots but if we keep forcing those looks we'll be OK.

[Brazil]

Ellis is not going to miss tonight

[elemento]

Nobody can guard Monta today

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Should be a fascinating game, and yeah, we need to win it. Time RJ shows us something more than spot-shooting, and yeah, JA has to play well.

Beat Mark Jackson! :lol

(PS Watch Monta go sick, drop 40 on us and break that 26 game losing streak...)

[timtonymanu]

Damn you Monta!

[007nites]

TJ was holding back the whole time. Showed up just at the right moment.

[TE]

It just has to be like that. Ellis just has to make everything. Fucking bullshit.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

thank god for Ford.


can't believe i just said that,


wait, did i really?

[Fireball]

Green is solid against Monta ... Ellis is just too good

[stephen jackson]

i remember when ellis used to have horrible games versus us
