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

[Spursnlego]

Ellis is on FIRE!
Pissing me off...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Monta just loves shitting all over us.

Interesting 4th Q. We're not very good, but for some reason it's been fun to watch. TJ looks like an NBA player today.

[DAF86]

people hated tj smh

Still too early to tell if he's going to keep this up, but he's showing great signs.

[DPG21920]

Timvp Game Grades:

TP: B: Had some assists, needs to do more.

TJ: B- Took some bad shots, missed some defensive rotations. Annoyed me.

[loveforthegame]

No stopping Ellis. He's in the zone.

TJ is playing so much better than Parker I'd be embarrassed if I were him.

Still feels like a loss though.

[stephen jackson]

Why is bonner still playing omfg

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Timvp Game Grades:

TP: B: Had some assists, needs to do more.

TJ: B- Took some bad shots, missed some defensive rotations. Annoyed me.


:lmao

[ElNono]

Timvp Game Grades:

TP: B: Had some assists, needs to do more.

TJ: B- Took some bad shots, missed some defensive rotations. Annoyed me.

Bonner: B+: He run the floor well

[ElNono]

:lol

[GB20]

fuck you tiago

[DPG21920]

Tiago: C-- Pop didn't yell at Bonner, but at Tiago. Nuff said.

[urunobili]

Crofl Spltter trying to get back to Lee with the same type of shot

[stephen jackson]

why isnt timmy playing :(

[Brazil]

nice pop letting this unit trying to win the game

[ElNono]

Tiago didn't flop... smh

[VBM]

Splitter can't make a 2 ft hook shot, awesome

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

This game is starting to get out of control. Lee and Ellis are dominating, and Spurs can't just keep trading baskets like this. We need a run.

[TDMVPDPOY]

danny green > Leonard + JA

[ElNono]

nice pop letting this unit trying to win the game

We're playing Dallas tomorrow... not that it matters

[Bill_Brasky]

This game has been painful to watch. Every time we cut it to within a possession we let them answer.

[Fireball]

I think that was the game ... Warriors will chip away now

[ace3g]

TJ again!!!

but if this gets ugly late, put in Ike to see what he can do

[stephen jackson]

i see why pop likes green now :)

[loveforthegame]

Give the Warriors credit though. They're turning it around under Mark Jackson.

[DPG21920]

TJ shooting with confidence. He is getting good lift and his release is at the top of his jump.

[Brazil]

why isnt timmy playing :(

I think Pop wants to let the second unit win or loose that game, I like the move tbh

[urunobili]

Yep no way they win this.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Tiago didn't flop... smh

YUP, he was there but did the bonner's hands up, backing up dance

[Spurminator]

Be nice if Rasho Splitter could hit that 4 ft hook shot more consistently.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Thank god for TJ

[ElNono]

lol Pop sending TP to sit down

[stephen jackson]

omg

[Spurs Brazil]

Green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TDfan2007]

Loving TJ tonight.

[DPG21920]

This game has been painful to watch. Every time we cut it to within a possession we let them answer.

That is what happens when you have no go to scorer.

[FkLA]

Sit the fuck down Tony :lol

[ace3g]

Green for 2!!! almost got a steal as well!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Danny Green is the man!

[ElNono]

shades of Bruce Bowen

[loveforthegame]

Green needs more minutes.

[ElNono]

Sit the fuck down Tony :lol

:lol

[boutons_deux]

Spurs haven't led since very early, can't get over the hump.

Spurs so lucky about that twisted ankle.

[DPG21920]

Have to applaud Danny Green. It's not easy at all to get sporadic minutes and to come in focused on both ends and to hit shots. Well done.

[angelbelow]

Lame, my league pass went black.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

It's Danny Green and TJ Ford time

[Fireball]

Danny motherfuckin Green

[024]

green beating leonard out of the rotation

[timtonymanu]

Start Danny Green. He deserves it.

[urunobili]

ehh... no one has opened up a thread for Danny yet?

[Brazil]

Where is Danny Green fan club ?

[GB20]

see you next year kawhi!!

[BRs.Ganso]

good to see TJ Ford and Splitter playing together

because when Tiago is on the court, the team just shot from outside.

[elemento]

Green and Ford are balling today !

[FkLA]

I think Pop wants to let the second unit win or loose that game, I like the move tbh

No, your boy TP is just playing like shit tbh. Timmy is in.

[Bill_Brasky]

Have to applaud Danny Green. It's not easy at all to get sporadic minutes and to come in focused on both ends and to hit shots. Well done.

I'm so happy we have Green. I'm thinking he's our best perimeter defender now.

[TDMVPDPOY]

green balling on bitches as usual, he shouldve takin the ellis/curry job at the start of the game instead of tp/ja who made them go on fire...no problem GREEN is just stoppin the fire

[MannyIsGod]

Tiago pisses me off

[stephen jackson]

that milf needs some dick

[TDMVPDPOY]

I think Pop wants to let the second unit win or loose that game, I like the move tbh

rather t ry and get win here, then trying to win the next one tommarow against dallas...

or is he doing this on purpose to make it look like the team aint tankin on purpose...

[timtonymanu]

Green, Ford: A+
Duncan:B
RJ, Blair: C

The rest: F

[bklynspursfan]

Boy i can only imagine the disaster tomorrow vs dallas :depressed

[ElNono]

shit Danny

[Brazil]

No, your boy TP is just playing like shit tbh. Timmy is in.

you are an idiot tbh fwiw

[ggoose25]

hope this is a wake up call for parker and leonard. They need to show more effort

[TDMVPDPOY]

tj ford bailing out the pathetic starting pg...

nothing to see here, just the usual the shit

[LakerHater]

Where is Leonard??

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stephen jackson]

wowwwwwwwwwwwwww

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Damn, out of bounds call there. The last thing we need right now when the Warriors are shooting hot. Every possession matters.

[ace3g]

alley green!!!

did I say it surprises me how high he can jump!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Ford to Green!!!!! I just came

[angelbelow]

Beautiful..

[DPG21920]

TJ and Danny. The new TJ and Danny. Tim playing well this spurt on defense. TP made this stagnant

[TDMVPDPOY]

hope this is a wake up call for parker and leonard. They need to show more effort

every year ginoboli does this on purpose to get injured, too bad the pg never takes the full opportunity to prove his worth

[stephen jackson]

monta mad :)

[Spurs Brazil]

TD playing great D

[ElNono]

good D

[urunobili]

Give the rock to a wide open Green TP. Fuck you :pctoss

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

I never thought I would see Green and Ford doing everything!

[bbarry]

Lol dumcan

what a ballstopper

[DPG21920]

Bad TP, just killed the momentum. Wake up Tony.

[stephen jackson]

danny green da gawdddddddddddd

[TDfan2007]

Tim playing amazing defense. Post moves are still trash, but I'll take it. Green has been amazing.

[ace3g]

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

[TDMVPDPOY]

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Danny fighting over that screen enabled him to get that block. Just a great effort.

[TDMVPDPOY]

[DAF86]

[bbarry]

TP's an assassin

Spurs up 4

SPUUUUUUUUUUURS Win

[stephen jackson]

danny green won this game by himself wow

[TDfan2007]

Tony with 8 HUGE points this quarter. Nice to see him stepping up.

[Morg1411]

Danny Green is a bad mother fucker.

[ffadicted]

That's game, gg spurs

[loveforthegame]

Parker has been huge in these last couple minutes.

[Robz4000]

Holy shit I'm so pumped! Second best win of the season (Memphis beatdown felt great).

[DPG21920]

suck it TP haters!

TSOST: Tony Shitting On SpursTalk

[Spurs Brazil]

Green player of the game

TJ also very good

[Josepatches_]

Thanks Tony!!

[FkLA]

Parker=closer

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

I love how Parker has gone clutch all of a sudden. Not a bad thing though. :)

[urunobili]

Im so glad Mark Jackson is losing this game...

[Morg1411]

Tony with 8 HUGE points this quarter. Nice to see him stepping up.

Yes. And it's about damn time.

[007nites]

What a fucking game

[Brazil]

To shitting all over ST on the clutch

[024]

lol parker haters

[Fireball]

nice win ... but what was the reason to keep TJ in the game when he is not running the show

[ElNono]

It's clear after this game that Manu just holds us back...



:lol

[elemento]

Parker woke up after Pop called him out

Love this shit :lol

[urunobili]

Green player of the game

TJ also very good

Check the boxscore. RJ says hi...

[DPG21920]

That second unit really did a great job. High energy, good defense, toughness and rebounding.

[Bill_Brasky]

Tony.

But the real story is Danny Green shitting all over Monta.

[Robz4000]

nice win ... but what was the reason to keep TJ in the game when he is not running the show
He's been playin like a baller still. Took a charge from Brown that wasn't called.

[ElNono]

nice win ... but what was the reason to keep TJ in the game when he is not running the show

Speed... Pop just wanted to run... Neal is probably not 100% yet and Anderson... well...

[timmike2]

damn.. can someone upload the 4th quarter of the game? Didn't saw the half of it cause the stream gone! :(

[DPG21920]

That emotion from Pop really seemed to loosen TP up. Plus being able to study TJ up close probably helped as well.

[Bill_Brasky]

Should be a W. Lets see how DG does guarding Monta.


Danny motherfuckin' Green.

[007nites]

I'm glad Danny Green had this night to prove that he is for real.

[mexicanjunior]

Wow, I didn't realize Ford was this good of a passer, his vision is great...always finds the open drop off. Danny Green should be starting with Anderson backing him up and Leonard backing up RJ.

[stephen jackson]

every game is gonna be like this :(

[Fireball]

this game is a prime example of why I love watching basketball ... regular season or not

[Brazil]

damn.. can someone upload the 4th quarter of the game? Didn't saw the half of it cause the stream gone! :(

nothing to see just TP shitting on ST

[Spurs Brazil]

Check the boxscore. RJ says hi...

RJ was good and TP was clutch but Green brought the Manu type energy the team was missing

[VBM]

Big win

[Brazil]

What a fun game ! I love BB

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Great quality win for Spurs. That win was so crucial.

[TDMVPDPOY]

green and tj ford got us this win

not that tp scrub pg of ours who was g ettin torch all game then the fire faded from montas eyes parker step up...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Well played youngsters! Especially Green.

And great to see TP, TD, TJ and RJ show up when it mattered. :D

:flag: :flag: :flag:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:flag: :flag: :flag:

[DPG21920]

So this is what it's like to be an average team. Interesting :lol

[mexicanjunior]

Fun game, counterproductive to getting a decent draft pick but very entertaining. We got lucky that Curry's injury evened the playing field...an above average team would have beat us by double digits. Still though, it was very cool to see Green and Ford bring that type of energy...really like those 2.

[timtonymanu]

Great win! That's all I want from the team.

Danny Green played solid in the 4th. TP too.

[DPG21920]

Big props for TP and TD showing up when it mattered and not letting the first 3.5 quarters get to them. Big plays on d from Tim and TP with timely points.

[DAF86]

Ford - A+
Green - A+
RJ - A+

[ggoose25]

parker woke up after pop called him out

love this shit :lol

+1

[Spurs Brazil]

TJ finished with 9pts 8asts

[naico]

Seeing Danny Green play, he reminds me of euro Anthony Parker.

[Fireball]

Tim Duncan was big in this game as well ... 11 boards, 3 steals and 3 blocks

[Fermixalot]

So this is what it's like to be an average team. Interesting :lol

Having a shitload of fun watching your team win a close game? I'll take what I can get!!!

[Brazil]

So this is what it's like to be an average team. Interesting :lol

that's not so bad actually :lol

[Manu20]

This was the most animated I have seen Pop during a game in a looonnng time. I think he was having fun in the fourth quarter!

[The_Worlds_finest]

TJ finished with 9pts 8asts

boom shakalaka

[Splits]

TJ & TP each with 8 assists. Baller.

TJ has great vision.

[DPG21920]

that's not so bad actually :lol

It was bad for a while, then great, then bad, then great. Hopefully we can find a way to sustain the energy a larger part of the game. Such a difference when the energy/change of pace players are in.

Hopefully that jolt from TP woke him up and he can start to be the TP we need/love.

[easy7]

Good game, really enjoyed it...:hat

[FkLA]

LakerHater gif of Pop yelling and slapping TP pleaseeee :flag:

[The_Worlds_finest]

Just glancing at the box score -1 for duncan playing 31 mins

[Fireball]

Just glancing at the box score -1 for duncan playing 31 mins

he will sit tomorrow

[Robz4000]

Even if it was against GS and Curry got hurt, the boost of energy we got can't be ignored. This may give the team the push they need to get through Manu's injury. All we need is .500 ball or so and we'll be fine.

[LakerHater]

LakerHater gif of Pop yelling and slapping TP pleaseeee :flag:
I'll look for a clip.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh fuck, dallas is in town tomorrow and I bet half the team is dead tired already

[Imp23]

Glad Pop woke them up. Once we started to run they couldnt hang.

[ducks]

It's clear after this game that Manu just holds us back...



:lol

trade him for a big

[Brazil]

It was bad for a while, then great, then bad, then great. Hopefully we can find a way to sustain the energy a larger part of the game. Such a difference when the energy/change of pace players are in.

Hopefully that jolt from TP woke him up and he can start to be the TP we need/love.

The Spurs sure need TP to play solid BB but I'm not overly optimistic tbh, I hope like Bruno said that he is a little bit out of shape but he may just be also loosing a step.

I fear TP haters are going to have a lot of fun this year.

The most surprising of the night was for me Pop treating TP like he was 20 y/o and TP responding like he was 20 y/o. I can tell he has a lot of respect for Pop. Not a lot of players would accept after more than 10 years of career this kind of stuff.

[DPG21920]

Agreed. I have always respected TP's mental toughness. He still didn't show explosiveness which worries me; same with Tim's level. But I hope he can prove he hasn't lost a step athletically. Don't worry about the haters. People should be frustrated with TP, but the hate gets ridiculous.

[TDMVPDPOY]

matt bonner continues to evolve into mr.ed....

[TDMVPDPOY]

Agreed. I have always respected TP's mental toughness. He still didn't show explosiveness which worries me; same with Tim's level. But I hope he can prove he hasn't lost a step athletically. Don't worry about the haters. People should be frustrated with TP, but the hate gets ridiculous.

the hate is always there cause his the same player from day 1, nothing has change and so will the haters....

you can tell he was trying to hustle his game with no end running into the defense down low and playing for the foul, he was lucky gettin bailed by the refs tonight on those type of stupid plays...

his forcing things when its clear it looks like his lost his speed and the competition has caught up to him...he should be improvising on other areas of his game, then relying on that same one trick pony everyone has gotten use to....

[FkLA]

Parker has had his big moments in a Spurs uniform but I would hardly call him a mentally tough player. Too many bumps in his stay here for me to be able to say that tbh. Speedy Claxton, dissapearing in 04' vs LA, Michael Conely, etc. He can be really good when things are going well for him but when theyre not he lets it affect him to the point were the team is better without him on the court. Out of the Big 3 I would say hes by far the least mentally strong player.

His demeanor has always irked me too tbh. Seems to play with no passion or fire alot of the time, has a me first attitude at times as well. Hes just not a likable player imho. Is talented and is pretty good when hes on though tbf.
