Game Blog: Spurs @ Magic - Jan. 18 (6 PM CST)

[ElNono]

No FTs?

[DPG21920]

It was a bad play but when you play young guys there will be mistakes.

[ffadicted]

nice board kawhi

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

BTW, before that Wafer was shooting 90.9% from FT!!! :lmao

[MannyIsGod]

I haent watched most of the game tonight so I cant comment too much on Green but that foul is the EXACT type of play out of him that fucking irritates me to no end.

[DesignatedT]

well have trouble getting the ball inbounded.

[MI21]

I just hope this doesn't end up in RJ's hands!

[Mal]

almost turnover. wtf

[vato loco]

redeem yourself dick...

[DPG21920]

Over and back

[bbarry]

COME ON DICK. ( :lmao )

[cheguevara]

LMAO Jefferson playing for Orlando

[ElNono]

wow.. terrible call... we got lucky

[Barfunk]

Nah good call, foul before the over and back

[Amuseddaysleeper]

RJ please hit these


And once again, Bonner with more minutes than Tiago

[easy7]

Damn, this shit is just too tense..

[urunobili]

please RJ please...

[pgardn]

Really does not matter if we win or lose.

This early season has just been painful.

Stupidly played bad basketball.

[WeNeedLength]

Jesus Christ we can't even get the ball inbounds to a player normally...shit.

[MI21]

I just hope this doesn't end up in RJ's hands!

Fuck here we go.

[DMC]

Dick shooting off tonight

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I haent watched most of the game tonight so I cant comment too much on Green but that foul is the EXACT type of play out of him that fucking irritates me to no end.

Everyone sucked early, Duncan played well in the 3rd, Parker played elite in the 4th

Every role player has sucked ass

[Mal]

moron

[ElNono]

you can't foul if the player doesn't have possession... that was an over and back

[DPG21920]

Of course RJ

[baseline bum]

Wow did the Spurs get bailed out bigtime. Dick almost blew the whole thing there.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Idiot commentators. Anderson fouled RJ before he caught it!

[ElNono]

really RJ???

[bbarry]

Dick shooting off tonight

so many puns, so little time.

:lmao

[timtonymanu]

lol RJ

[urunobili]

Trasherson misses the second...

[DPG21920]

you can't foul if the player doesn't have possession... that was an over and back

Yes you can

[Budkin]

Fucking RJ brick... double OT here we come.

[Mal]

How was Matty tonight ? I can see +/- +6. Best in team together with RJ.

[WeNeedLength]

Wow.... this game needs to get over now. Painful watching this shit.

[bbarry]

Do SPURS FOUL INT.?

[Texas_Ranger]

this game sucks balls

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Of course RJ

How is your feed ahead of like everyone single person on this blogs?


RJ chokes, naturally, and Green almost fouls Anderson on the rebound


:downspin:

[ElNono]

Idiot commentators. Anderson fouled RJ before he caught it!

If you foul before the player has the ball it's one freethrow and posession

[Fermixalot]

Don't allow a three. Don't foul.

[MI21]

RJ hasn't made 2 consecutive free throws since becoming a Spur.

[mexicanjunior]

Redick 3 to win...book it. Green will leave him alone.

[ElNono]

not in time!!!

[DMC]

Spurs doing everything in their power to sandbag this one.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Watch Anderson, or inexplicably Nelson, hit a 3 to win it.

[bbarry]

SPURS WIN SPURS WIIIIIIIIIIIIN

lol we escaped by a second.

[BanditHiro]

yay!!!

[DesignatedT]

ORLANDO going for the win

[DPG21920]

Good close out danny

[MI21]

Hack a howard?

[ElNono]

we win!!!

[Mal]

Redick 3 to win...book it. Green will leave him alone.

So close

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Hahahahaha ohhhhhh man, we got so damn lucky

[bklynspursfan]

I'm mad about this win. Why the hell was he wide open lol

[Barfunk]

[Cant_Be_Faded]

YES YES YES YES YES

[DesignatedT]

[Texas_Ranger]

[cheguevara]

[WeNeedLength]

Wow, what a sloppy ass and fitting end to this crap game.

[easy7]

[BanditHiro]

Redick 3 to win...book it. Green will leave him alone.

haha fucker

[Fermixalot]

Oh good god. Lucky break. It wasn't pretty, not by any stretch, but its a win.

[timvp]

Wait ... it's legal to win on the road?

[DesignatedT]

Wow

[timtonymanu]

Ugly ass win, but I'll take it.

Hated being in company with Wiz and Bucks.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

If you foul before the player has the ball it's one freethrow and posession

Well, it was claer from the replay that Anderson grabbed RJ's arm as he was catching it. Whether that is before or not I don't know, but the reason RJ bobbled it was Anderson's contact.

[DPG21920]

RJ chokes, naturally, and Green almost fouls Anderson on the rebound


:downspin:

It's not I see the future

[Spurologist]

WWWWWIIIIIINNNNNNNNN.

great hustle by Green for the contest

[pgardn]

We win and I still want to puke...

[Russ]

Won on the road with only two three-pointers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MI21]

Well played Green, knew he could commit because of the lack of time on the clock. Nice play.

[easy7]

What a slobberknocker...

[timtonymanu]

Bonner has to be benched after this, but I doubt Pop does that.

[mexicanjunior]

Redick 3 to win...book it. Green will leave him alone.

I was a fraction of a second off...could see it coming though.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

83yHSxowows

Shooter's reaction is how we all feel right now

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That was awful, but don't burn the tape, Pop. Look at it and learn from all those awful play-calling decisions near the end.

[baseline bum]

I was fucking yelling at the TV when Green jumped for that fake, but wow, it was obviously the right move with the time left. Either Green was really locked in on that possession or he got lucky as hell. :lol

[Kori Ellis]

Finally!

Oh and Tony Parker was so mad at RJ throughout this game that I thought his head was going to explode :madrun

[Spurs Brazil]

Props to TD and TP. Great job

[Morg1411]

Yay. Bout damn time we got Road Win #1. It feels like Christmas!

[Mal]

Wait ... it's legal to win on the road?

Just give up one in SA to Sacramento and no jail time for Pop.

[Killakobe81]

good win Spur fan ...

All you guys hating on Pop, can eat a bag of dicks ...the GM's have called Pop best coach, motivator and in-game adjuster. You guys all appreciative of duncan and how you will miss him. You guys will miss Pop just as much.

[Drewlius]

That game was beyond sloppy, f'n Rec Ball.

[Cane]

Absolutely gut wrenching. Good to see Parker and Duncan playing at a high level. Hopefully Duncan's knee is okay. Splitter was beasting when Dwight was off the court

[ElNono]

They need to stop doing this to me... I'm going to have my 1st heart attack before 40

[Bill_Brasky]

Redick 3 to win...book it. Green will leave him alone.

Nope!!!

[Manu20]

I was fucking yelling at the TV when Green jumped for that fake, but wow, it was obviously the right move with the time left. Either Green was really locked in on that possession or he got lucky as hell. :lol

I vote for lucky lol.....but I rather for Green to be aggressive than just watch JJ shoot...

[pgardn]

Seriously awful performance.

We made so many stupid mistakes.

The NBA as a whole is pretty darn bad right now.

[BanditHiro]

makes it all irrelevant

[spectator]

ORL commentators are such homers. not that the spurs' commentators are any better, but it's such a pain to listen to crap.

[Spurologist]

Neal, Bonner, and RJ with so many open misses but Neal hit it when it counted.

[birdy219]

So glad for the win, but my old heart can't much more of this. I'm driving my husband crazy with my outbursts. :lol Finally :flag:

[Cant_Be_Faded]

VCyUIq1OjJM

[Mugen]

thank you Orlando's tired ass fucking legs.

[baseline bum]

Seriously awful performance.

We made so many stupid mistakes.

The NBA as a whole is pretty darn bad right now.

The NBA is like pizza though: even when it's bad, it's still pretty good (excluding LeBron's Cavs teams; those were unwatchable).

[ffadicted]

This fucking game, so close all along, glad we came out with a win

[spectator]

also, the heat crew was pretty bad. remember that charge on miller in the 4th qtr - the one when his left foot is clearly at least 6 inches in the air - they were going bonkers about the call; dude just got bailed out by the refs

probably no one was watching at that point anyway

[DPG21920]

It's unreal how pop has abandoned his principles. Players only respond to being shit on for so long.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

VCyUIq1OjJM

fixed



lol barely beating a team on a b2b2b

lol red hair over brazilian size

lol danny green foul machine

lol jefferson ft's

[pgardn]

The NBA is like pizza though: even when it's bad, it's still pretty good (excluding LeBron's Cavs teams; those were unwatchable).

Yeah I guess.

I just cant stand us making so many horrible plays, even if we win it still hurts and leaves a putrid taste.

[angelbelow]

Finally!

Oh and Tony Parker was so mad at RJ throughout this game that I thought his head was going to explode :madrun

There was one possession where Parker was signalling RJ to move from the right corner 3pt line and RJ just stared at him for 2 seconds with a pissed off look before finally moving lol.

[LakerHater]

Dwight Howard to ref about Tim Duncan:


Hes got his knee in my ass the whole game!

[GSH]

We sucked less than they did. But, hey, our stifling defense held them to 33.3% for the game, which means we should move up several places in the rankings. So that's good.

[pgardn]

Cant we just a blow a team playing poorly out? Crush someone early on.

Yesterday we just left the course. Tonight, we looked at how bad the other guy was and decided to play through.

A couple of fat boxers just laying on each other waiting for the other to fall...
And both teams have winning records.

[adonis827]

totally outrebounded. lucky win but we will take it

[DPG21920]

I know the spurs were sucking on the road but all the west is. Tough goings.

[FkLA]

Nice analogy, CBF ..WIRE is my favorite. :toast

I know you guys don't agree with Pop or his rotations. But you guys had the West's best record last year. you guys are in 1st place in the division this year, without Manu for most of it.

The guy is still a great freaking coach. And though Mike Brown is growing on me, he is no Pop. Just a smiling, shucking and jiving copy.:lol
Another coach and you guys might be just a 8 seed in the West. Respect the man, he is proven. Many said it was all Duncan and Bob hill could of won with the title teams ...
but Duncan is fading (nice stretch of games lately though told yall he is not done) and you guys are STILL winning.

Kiss his rings ...bitches!!! You guys aren't better coaches than the future HOFer ...

I agree that alot of the Pop hate on here is ridiculous, he has been crucified on here for not playing scrubs like Hairston or even someone like Mahinmi which is pretty dumb. That doesnt mean he doesnt deserve to be criticized though, playing Bonner over Splitter for example is inexcusable. It just makes no sense at all especially when Bonner is shooting 35% from deep.

[DPG21920]

Neither Ian or Malik are scrubs.

[jjktkk]

Neither Ian or Malik are scrubs.

One is flawed, ones not in the league, but meh. I'd actually like to have the flawed one in a Spurs uniform right now.

[FkLA]

Malik was a scrub, fringe NBA player at best. I wouldnt put Ian on the same boat as hes having a decent year in Dallas but I dont think he was ever the difference maker ST made him out to be. His defense is nothing special despite his size and athleticism.

[jjktkk]

Malik was a scrub, fringe NBA player at best. I wouldnt put Ian on the same boat as hes having a decent year in Dallas but I dont think he was ever the difference maker ST made him out to be. His defense is nothing special despite his size and athleticism.

I think the big reason, is the Bonner hate, and that Ian could be helping right now, but yea I never understood all the Mahmni love.

[Borosai]

I just gotta say... Jefferson's body language out there wasn't good. To the bench.

[TDfan2007]

Neal, Bonner, and RJ with so many open misses but Neal hit it when it counted.

They all count. I get sick of hearing that...

[ElNono]

I just gotta say... Jefferson's body language out there wasn't good. To the bench.

I'm with you. He did make an important basket in OT. But he sleepwalked through the game, like he wasn't there... TP got really mad at him.

There was one play where he was just walking back, while Green had to dodge him while running back and almost getting a steal on Jameer Nelson. I thought the contrast in attitudes was remarkable.

[Ice009]

Malik was a scrub, fringe NBA player at best. I wouldnt put Ian on the same boat as hes having a decent year in Dallas but I dont think he was ever the difference maker ST made him out to be. His defense is nothing special despite his size and athleticism.

Malik was NOT a scrub. He could play.

[FkLA]

He would still be in the league if he was anything more than a fringe NBA player.

[DPG21920]

^ that is really a silly way to think IMO.

[timvp]

Dwight Howard to ref about Tim Duncan:

Hes got his knee in my ass the whole game! That wasn't his knee.


Malik was a scrub, fringe NBA player at best.WTF? What era Malik are you describing?


I just gotta say... Jefferson's body language out there wasn't good. To the bench.True. When other players were yelling at him to get into position (mostly TP), Jefferson didn't seem to react or care at all.

[FkLA]

^ that is really a silly way to think IMO.

Players playing overseas tend to not be good enough for the NBA or are fringe NBA players, no? Especially ones with suspect handles and shooting.



WTF? What era Malik are you describing?


Malik was NOT a scrub. He could play.

Just to be sure, were all talking about Hairston and not Rose right?

[timvp]

Ah, I apologize. My Malik Rose being shortchanged alarm went off. Though Hairston should officially lose his first name only status.

[FkLA]

:lol

Would never do that man, Rose was always one of my favorite players.

[Blackjack]

Ah, I apologize. My Malik Rose being shortchanged alarm went off. Though Hairston should officially lose his first name only status.

:nope

[Obstructed_View]

Ah, I apologize. My Malik Rose being shortchanged alarm went off. Though Hairston should officially lose his first name only status.

Agreed. I always looked forward to a day where we could refer to him by his first name, but he never earned it.

It's always strange to me that this team and so many fans quickly develop such a dislike for the players that the Spurs went out and picked in the draft, and how excited those fans seem to be about throwing those players away before they get a legitimate chance to develop.
