Spurs vs. Pistons Finals Game 5 -- Game Blog

[RobinsontoDuncan]

We're letting them get every fucking offensive rebound they want

[timvp]

Must win game?

Believe.

[ObiwanGinobili]

yes.

[ObiwanGinobili]

and I was 1st, yet again.

[B.AlMighty]

Failure is not an option.

[JustSpurs]

Believe

[boutons]

yes, MUST WIN.

And we'll know within 360 seconds of PT if the Spurs have a chance of staying in the game.

[boutons]

After last May, I'm REALLY TIRED of this fucking negative playoff Spurs drama.

2 W's, then collapse for 4 L's.

2 W's, then collapse for 2 blowout L's.

I CAN'T STAND THIS SHIT!!

Our big three will lead us to victory tonight!

[JustSpurs]

For the love of God would somebody please hack-up Bill Walton with an ax?

[50 cent]

Absolute must win. This team doesn't have the mental fortitude to drop 3 and come back home and win 2 with their backs to the wall. They better bring it tonight.

[ObiwanGinobili]

For the love of God would somebody please hack-up Bill Walton with an ax?

On my way to the harware store now.
Thanks for giving me the "go ahead".

[Hook Dem]

On my way to the harware store now.
Thanks for giving me the "go ahead".
:lol :lol :lol

[spursluva]

****NOT A MUST WIN****Detroit must show something they have not done in a LONG TIME > win a game in S.A.!

[atlfan25]

Absolute must win. This team doesn't have the mental fortitude to drop 3 and come back home and win 2 with their backs to the wall. They better bring it tonight.
I think they could lose tonight and still win the next 2 at home, but i don't think it will come to that cuz i feel they'll win tonight.

[rolbaza]

Are you ready for this!!!!!


IF NOT NOW WHEN......

[GrandeDavid]

Go Spurs, kick some fucking ass. That's all I have to say and that's about all that will happen tonight.

[hump]

Go Spurs Go

[rolbaza]

Is anyone else tired of Rob Thomas' song?

[JustSpurs]

I hate this announcer.

[Marklar MM]

I am sick of the Thomas song....

THIS IS HOW A HEART BREAKS

[JustSpurs]

Kid Rock singing the Anthem? This weeks sign that God hates us!

[rolbaza]

Our boys look very business-like and determined!!!

Looking good!!

[Tek_XX]

Absolute must win. This team doesn't have the mental fortitude to drop 3 and come back home and win 2 with their backs to the wall. They better bring it tonight.

I wouldn't go that far, there are worse things then having to come home for a couple games.

[myhc]

Shut this god damn announcer and these fans up please!!!!

[rolbaza]

The announcer got more airtime than the players.. WTF

[Tek_XX]

Tim looks focused, let's see if that translates to anything

[EasilyAmused]

The announcer got more airtime than the players.. WTF
I was thinking the same thing! :lol

[_Ginobili_20_]

Is anyone else tired of Rob Thomas' song?

;) I used it on my siggy.

[Tek_XX]

The announcer got more airtime than the players.. WTF

Yeah, i have to admit this guy is better than the spurs announcer.

[GoldToe]

I love this game.

[atlfan25]

spurs off to a HOTT start. up 4-0

[Tek_XX]

hey it's close

[JoeChalupa]

Come on Spurs...get it together.

[atlfan25]

damn hubie better wipe yo mouth, i think u got some residue on it.

[Tek_XX]

cmon tim

[hump]

Spurs Please show up anytime now

[GoldToe]

I hate this crap....wake up!!!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

billups for 3 (sigh)

here we go again :depressed

[Tek_XX]

Ok tims gotta try something new

[rwb]

I'm feeling a little sick already. Come on, Spurs D!

[Tek_XX]

how many times has tim been blocked? Way to many times.

[hump]

What the heck is the deal with the shots not going down?

[ballhog]

Rasheed got a lot of arm on Timmy that last time. Game's over already/

[boutons]

Spurs shots are falling short, weak. Not a good sign.

[hump]

We need some new blood. Get off your duff Pop and make some changes

[GrandeDavid]

Once again, no emotion, no fucking heart by the San Antonio Spurs. Something needs to change. This quiet attitude ain't working. Time to talk shit, mix it up, do anything. I'm fucking disgusted.

[dn0]

we need to hang in there until they cool down

[Dre_7]

Tim needs to shut up! Stop complaining to the refs!!! Hes not gonna get any calls tonight, he needs to not let that get in his head. The more he complains, the better it is for Detroit. Come on Timmy!!!

[Tek_XX]

I guess timmys gotta get a lot of rasheeds arm. But the sad thing for us is that the refs would call those

[Dre_7]

BTW, am I the only one worried about Manus injury?? (I think thats like the 4th time I said that)

[Amuseddaysleeper]

tim seems to be forcing it, guards need to attack the rim and hope for a foul, or really just move the ball and be patient with the offense like they were on their first 2 baskets

[hump]

Manu hasn't shown yet either

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

So apparently the league's deepest playbook has a couple hundred pages, with the same play (4down) on all of them :lol

[boutons]

I'm amazed Tim is bitching already. Not very smart attitude, esp so early.

They're going to beat the shit out of you, Tim, so quit complaining and return the favor on the other end.

[hump]

Well, I think its now or never so they better get it together

[ballhog]

Put in the scrubs now.

[hump]

Letting em rebound their own shots

[50 cent]

This doesn't look good. We already look frustrated and are counting on the refs to bail us out. If this continues, I will be making a sizeable wager on the DET in the 2nd half.

[hump]

Need some threes from Barry

[Tek_XX]

Manu makes a basket....and pop quickly takes him out of the game.

[atlfan25]

some good shit parker hitting a jumper lke that

[ballhog]

Didn't Prince double-dribble?

[dn0]

okay fouling ben wallace on that jumpshot is plain stupid

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Tony Parker is a fucking idiot. You try and block Ben Wallace's jumper?

Idiot.

[Dre_7]

Wow, Tony taps Ben, gets the call. :lol

[hump]

Pissies getting the ref calls

[Dre_7]

Tony Parker is a fucking idiot. You try and block Ben Wallace's jumper?

Idiot.

I hate that switch.

[ballhog]

Shut up about the fucking Pistons already.

[ManuTastic]

I'll give a dollar to anyone who can tell me why we don't zone these guys. They are killing us on the pick and roll because we keep switching, so Tim winds up on Billups and crap like that. These guys are not a great 3-pt team, so zone them up. It's pretty fucking simple.

[ballhog]

Spurs hanging in there despite easy buckets by Pistons.

[Dre_7]

I'll give a dollar to anyone who can tell me why we don't zone these guys. They are killing us on the pick and roll because we keep switching, so Tim winds up on Billups and crap like that. These guys are not a great 3-pt team, so zone them up. It's pretty fucking simple.

I hate that switch!

i was thinkin the same thing but chauncey and sheed and even rip can hit the 3.........especially chauncey

[boutons]

Spurs shooting 33% vs 53%.

[Tek_XX]

Cause pop hates zone, and it really never works, they end up nailing threes in our face.

[hump]

Need to get some balls now

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Shut up about the fucking Pistons already.

Maybe if they weren't kicking our ass, they would.


I'll give a dollar to anyone who can tell me why we don't zone these guys.

Because it's not Pop's system.

A true zone wouldn't be good with Rip and Chauncey, but I'd love to see a triangle and two or some hybrid zone/man.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

spurs FG: 35%
pistons FG: 50%

our defnese HAS to step up or else this 4 point deficit will turn to 40

[ballhog]

Good play---keep picking and rolling

[Dre_7]

Good D Brent!!

[atlfan25]

tie game

[mrcoon29]

My heart is pounding so loud I can hear it in my head.

[Dre_7]

Manus lookin better! :)

[Tek_XX]

good quarter for spurs

[ballhog]

Enough stats about how the Spurs are getting beat.

[myhc]

Yessssssssssssss!!!!!!!! WE'RE BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!

Manu looks good, Tony looks good, Tim looks good. We got a game!

[atlfan25]

that quarter blew my ass

[hump]

Yep, I feel good about only being down 2

[Tek_XX]

they longer manu has off the better he plays

[mrcoon29]

Well, their body language looks good from here.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

we're -12 in the FG% dept. with pistons at 52% and we're at 40% and still only down 2, but like i said, the D has to step up, and manu is def. lookin good lately :smokin

[myhc]

For all the Brent hatin I did last game, I'm glad he was out there to take some of the ball handling duties from Beno. Good move Pop. Put Beno in early in the quarters.

[Manu20]

Good first quarter by the Spurs.

[DieMrBond]

Good D Brent!!

For those not watching, what did he do?
Cause this?

DET 3.0 Offensive foul on Richard Hamilton
DET 3.0 Offensive Foul turnover on Richard Hamilton

or was that bruce?

[Dre_7]

As long as Manu continues to drive, Spurs will be okay!

[3rdCoast]

quarter was alright for both teams

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It's incredible what happens on offense when options 1-10 aren't Tim Duncan in the post.

Oh, and I won't complain if I never see a high pick and roll involving Nazr again, Detroit is doubling the guard with Nazr's man every time we run it.

[Dre_7]

For those not watching, what did he do?
Cause this?

DET 3.0 Offensive foul on Richard Hamilton
DET 3.0 Offensive Foul turnover on Richard Hamilton

or was that bruce?

Brent switched on a pick and ended up gaurding Chancey and forcing a shot clock violation. It was just good tight D.

[boutons]

down 2, Spurs shooting 40% vs 52%,
spurs +3 RBs.

essentially even game, Spurs hit a few more shots,the Pistons cool off a bit, we got a horse race.

Tony's been grabbing his shorts. I wonder how long he can hang in there.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

For those not watching, what did he do?

Stayed at home when Chauncey tried to pump fake him into a foul, Chauncey shot up an airball that was a 24 second shot clock violation. Also doing good fronting Tayshaun, denying the ball.

[midgetonadonkey]

Barry needs to hit shots. Fuck.

[Dre_7]

It's incredible what happens on offense when options 1-10 aren't Tim Duncan in the post.

Oh, and I won't complain if I never see a high pick and roll involving Nazr again, Detroit is doubling the guard with Nazr's man every time we run it.

Again, the more Manu drives, the better!

[Victor Newman]

The Spurs must take care of business and do it quick.
Now is not the time to have to depend on a take over.

[mrcoon29]

For those not watching, what did he do?
Cause this?

DET 3.0 Offensive foul on Richard Hamilton
DET 3.0 Offensive Foul turnover on Richard Hamilton

or was that bruce?I think that was Manu. Brent caused Chauncey to take a bad 3 shot.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

We're on the same page there Dre :hat

[atlfan25]

what the hell is this horseshit w/ tha T

[ballhog]

Good call, ref

[Dre_7]

We're on the same page there Dre :hat

I know! How crazy is that?!?!

[atlfan25]

aaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggghh parker wit another jumper, a very good sign he is making that shit

[50 cent]

At least Tony is hitting his jumpshots.

[ballhog]

Spurs are hitting shots...unbelieveable

[50 cent]

Great ball movement!

[atlfan25]

fuckin right, good ball movement.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fuck yeah, ball movement, motion, running the O through others, we're getting points.

Amen Pop.

[ballhog]

Buh Buuh Buh Bowen!!!!

[atlfan25]

aaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhh another good play by tha spurs

[50 cent]

Damn, Tony is playing great!

[ballhog]

Good try Prince

[atlfan25]

thats more fuckin right, a fucking fast break, holy shit, i can't believe my fucking eyes

[3rdCoast]

i wish that the home teams wore their dark jerseys and visiting wore their whites

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It's incredible what happens when you get off of page 1 of your playbook. You actually can score.

[ballhog]

Time for the refs to get the Pistons off the snide.

[myhc]

fuck yea. Tony, Tim and Manu look GREAT. The team is moving the ball around, rebounding much better, and most importantly cut down on the god damn turnovers.

we got a fucking game.

[Manu20]

Tony is playing great. Keep it up.

[atlfan25]

i wish that the home teams wore their dark jerseys and visiting wore their whites
thats fuckin right again, damnit to hell. :pctoss

[dn0]

It's great to see hunter's real shoot percentage back.

[DieMrBond]

I finally made the switch from nba.com stats, to espn stats, to sportsline stats - but you guys are still faster & more reliable for whats actually going on!

[hump]

Ball movement and ball protection is the whole friggin key

[Dre_7]

It's great to see hunter's real shoot percentage back.

:lmao :lmao

No way he makes every tight defended desperation shot like game 4, today!

[Dre_7]

I finally made the switch from nba.com stats, to espn stats, to sportsline stats - but you guys are still faster & more reliable for whats actually going on!

Yahoo is the quickest IMO.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

^^^ :lol Nice avatar DieMrBond

[Jimcs50]

I finally made the switch from nba.com stats, to espn stats, to sportsline stats - but you guys are still faster & more reliable for whats actually going on!


The Spurs are kicking ass, that is what is going on. They are playing like they have to.

[mrcoon29]

Aw, see Rasho cheer on the team!! I feel a little bad for him. He did his job all year long, helped us to the playoffs and now..he's not contributing. That's gotta suck somewhat.
Go Spurs Go!!

[Dre_7]

BTW, DieMrBond, you cant watch the game??

[rolbaza]

fuck yea. Tony, Tim and Manu look GREAT. The team is moving the ball around, rebounding much better, and most importantly cut down on the god damn turnovers.

we got a fucking game.


Knocking on wood!!! crossing fingers & toes

[scott]

We look hungry... I love it.

[ballhog]

Hey, we might win the quarter

[Tek_XX]

oh geez Devin Brown....are we doing that badly

[DieMrBond]

BTW, DieMrBond, you cant watch the game??

Nope, i wish! I live in (western) australia, and over here 'Aussie rules' is the sport of choice, which means its flooded on tv. When i was younger we used to get a game of the week, and nba action, but thats long gone. You need pay-tv to watch anything!

Annoying as hell!

Btw, thanks Aggie! James Bond would so be a spurs fan...

[mrcoon29]

eeKK!! A block I hope & not an airball.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Why is Tim turning into a jump shooter against a guy like McDyess?

Come on Tim, he can't guard you, quit letting him.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Ginobili's got 4 boards already.


We have our first Brent Barry sighting :hat

[atlfan25]

thats damn fucking right, duncan is a pimp

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

See what happens when you move the ball?

4down... just say no.

[ballhog]

I love it!!!

[hump]

Keep it up - making us fans HAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPY

[myhc]

Let's go bitches! Tim looks like a fucking MAN tonight.

[50 cent]

About fucking time Tony, Manu and Tim decided to show up at the same time.

[boutons]

fucking A!!! Go Spurs Go

The crowd is taken out of the game.

Spurs are TOTAL DESTROY on the boards, 17 - 11.

Welcome back SPURS!!!!!

[Tek_XX]

ok devin Browns doing a good job....push that ball bitch

[mrcoon29]

eeeeeeeeeee!!!! My tummy knots are coming loose!!
Go Spurs Go!!

[hump]

I think Devin added some energy

[Dre_7]

Welcome back SPURS!!!!!

Hope you stay for three more qtrs tonight!

[dn0]

Tim brought his NBA post moves tonight. He is playing like the MVP that he fucking is.

[ballhog]

Win this one and it's over boys.....don't let 'em back in. Those miracle shots with 2 sec on the shot clock ain't falling tonight. This is their chance.

[smeagol]

Fuck, I'm about to have a heart attack

[Amuseddaysleeper]

spurs 49%
pistons 39%

nice what some solid little defense will do for you :smokin

[hump]

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease Keep It Up Go Spurs Go

[myhc]

Pop is looking like a genius right now leaving Beno on the bench. He's made some shots for us in the series but he was too vulnerable against the press. Brent has been good. Good D, made a 3 pointer (finally) and handled the ball.

Let's goooooooooooooooooooooo!!

[boutons]

Spurs moving the Ball on O, spreading the floor.

Still WAY TOO FUCKNG MUCH STANDING AROUND when Tim has the ball!!

[50 cent]

I'm glad to see Devin in the game over Udrih. He's been there before and won't shit the bed like Beno's been doing.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

About fucking time Tony, Manu and Tim decided to show up at the same time.


Agreed 50 cent

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Antonio McDyess is the only one doing anything. No one wants to guard him.


Come on Pop, sick the Big Dog on him.

[slayermin]

Brent and TP playing the point. Interesting. I think Devin is bringing the ball up too. No shame, Beno. It's your first year.

[ballhog]

3 seconds already

[Tek_XX]

ok butterfinger nazr strikes again.

[ballhog]

Call Nazr "The Thing". Hands of stone.

[atlfan25]

glad to see horry's boulder touch

[50 cent]

Fucking RIP pushes off every time he has the ball.

Horry misses a point blank layup.

[ballhog]

Duncan out. Run by Pistons.

[hump]

Damn it - you could tell we lost it the last couple fo minutes

[smeagol]

Horry cannot miss that layup. Un-fucking-acceptable!

[myhc]

That's 4 points that we just flushed down the toilet and gave them back 4. 8 point swing right there.

And Nazr "No hands" Mohammed is teh suck tonight.

[Tek_XX]

Horry can hit clutch threes but can't make a layup, how many chances do they think they'll get this game

[hump]

Horry looking pretty non Big Shot the last couple of games

[boutons]

Come on Robert, how can you miss a 6 inch shot?

Let's have a nice strong finish to the half, kill the Pistons run.

Pop is subbing like mad, how can anybody get any warmed-up rythym?

[manubili]

Tony Parker and his turnovers are making me nervous.

[hump]

Go Spurs Go

[slayermin]

Hey, it's not a blowout. We got this, as long as we don't panic.

We are too deep for them. If they want to play physical, we have more fouls to give. Bottom line, our depth will be the key. Hopefully, it plays out well for the Spurs.

[Tek_XX]

i don't understand why popovich stays with nazr, he really isn't contributing except not catching balls which isn't a stat, oh wait it's a turnover.

[dn0]

those missed layups are making me nervous

[smeagol]

Manu will have a huge second half.

Bank on it!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fucking RIP pushes off every time he has the ball.

You noticed that too huh?

[boutons]

Spurs now outshooting Pistons, 46% vs 42%

[Dre_7]

Come on Horry!!!!!!!!!!

[Tek_XX]

Spurs are starting to piss me off again

[Rematch+Repeat=Revenge]

Not only outscoring, but they're moving the ball for a change and getting in the paint. All in all a good game so far.

[ballhog]

Pistons starting to whine now.

[Tek_XX]

The pistons are the biggest whinners of any team i've seen

[Dre_7]

Man Horry! 2 misses shots, then hold the ball til the shot clock is runnin down and give it to Tim and have him take a buzzer beater.

Big Shot Bob needs to step up!

[Tek_XX]

hehe makeup travel call by the official

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Duncan, it's okay to pass man.

Detroit has started doubling him.

[hump]

Go to hell Mason

[atlfan25]

damn son, cmon now manu

[DieMrBond]

Lost ball turnover on Tim Duncan, Stolen by Ben Wallace
DET 1:25 Tayshaun Prince missed Driving layup
DET 1:18 Travelling turnover on Richard Hamilton
SA 1:09 Lost ball turnover on Manu Ginobili, Stolen by Tayshaun Prince

sheesh!

[ca®lo]

yeah this is it baby!!! spurs up 40 37 1:15 ticks left in the 2nd quarter! this is what i wanna see!!!!

SPURS ARE TAKING THIS GAME BABY!!

oh no ben wallace layup! spurs by 1 its ok SPURS WILL WIN THIS!!

GO SPURS GO!

[hump]

Damn we lost the momentum again

[ballhog]

C'mon, let Parker bring it up.

[dn0]

the last manu turnover was unnecessary and stupid

[Tek_XX]

Big Shot bob hasn't been big since the first two games, alot of little stupid mistakes

[slayermin]

Pistons fighting the Spurs, fighting history.

FVck them. It's our turn.

[50 cent]

Horry sucks ass tonight.

[Dre_7]

Big Shot bob hasn't been big since the first two games, alot of little stupid mistakes

And as you speak, another TO by Horry.

Wow, I thought he had 5 rings?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

we HAD outscored them 16-5 and now we have just outscored them for the 2nd qtr 19-16 :pctoss :pctoss

[hump]

Get Horry out of there - he's losing the game for us

[ballhog]

Geez, sounds like Hubie is a Pistons fan.

[Tek_XX]

Pop don't hesitate to take out people who are sucking...by all means

[atlfan25]

arrrrrrrrrggggghhh another fucking jumper by parker, he is fucking on

[atlfan25]

Geez, sounds like Hubie is a Pistons fan.
that's been pretty obvious since game 1

[slayermin]

Horry sucks ass tonight.

Yesthur, I concur. :drunk

[hump]

A foul with 5 seconds left?

[atlfan25]

Pop don't hesitate to take out people who are sucking...by all means
if only all coaches were so rash like u, all the players confidence would be so high.

[ICE3000]

Everytime he touches the ball it looks as if he might lose it

[atlfan25]

tie game at half

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

For the 84,428th time this post-season, Tony blows the end of the quarter.

Come on kid, you're having a great night so far, no lapses.

[hump]

OK, now is the time to stand up and stand tall

[Tek_XX]

that's been pretty obvious since game 1

i really can't tell the bias, why just because he compliments the pistons? He compliments the spurs to.

[rolbaza]

Horry sucks ass tonight.

Andd the score is tied.... don't worry he'll show up! for the 2nd half!

Remember his name is Big Shot Rob

[Dre_7]

For the 84,428th time this post-season, Tony blows the end of the quarter.

Come on kid, you're having a great night so far, no lapses.

Dude, Manu was the one that fouled Billups, not Tony.

BTW, I dont think the Spurs had 84,428 quarters this postseason. ;)

[spurs_in_4]

horry sucks goat penis

[gocanes719]

Horry hurt the team in the 2nd quarter. He missed a chippy and was careless with other shots.

[ca®lo]

game tied!

ill take this anytime over a 12 point lead by detroit.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Im not happy, spurs should be up by at least 5, its gonna be hard to keep it up in the 2nd half, spurs better pick it up on offense

[DieMrBond]

I think he was talking about the blocked 3pt attempt?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

the 3rd qtr is gonna make or break this game

[boutons]

Pistons killed us on the boards in 2nd qtr, Spours now only +2 RBs, but still shooting better than Pistons.

Spurs finally outscore the Pistons in a qtr after 9 straight losing qtrs, ANOTHER negative record for the Spurs.

but we're +2 at the half on their court, the crowd has been taken out of the game, mostly.

[rwb]

Horry's really not been as reliable as usual in Detroit. Hopefully when he comes back to SA some good Mexican food will give him some pep back.

[Tek_XX]

Tony is having a good game tonight but sometimes he does assume he's the only one that can score and tries to do something that isn't there, thus leading to a turnover.

[ALVAREZ6]

We're tied at halftime when we should be up 10....we can't close out quarters for fuck.

[SequSpur]

Why In The Fuck Is Ben Wallace Getting Layups When He Can't Shoot A Fucking Free Throw?????????????????????????????????????????

Bruce Bowen Shoulda Tackled That Mother Fucker When He Went To The Hole....

Game 5 And Bowen Left His Fucking Nuts In The Locker Room.

[gocanes719]

We had the heat on them and let them crawl back in. Our offense went stagnant again and the Pstons were blocking shots and making us take bad ones. The moving of the ball was not as good, it seemed like we had 38 points forever.

[Vashner]

argh wasted a 9 point lead by getting sloppy...

[SequSpur]

Bullshit. Our offense got hot and that fuckhead Popovich started substituting and then we turned the ball over 9 out of 10 straight fucking times.

Pop is a fuckhead.

[CaptainHook]

if he hits a clutch shot in the 4th, your opinions of him will do a 180

[vsnba]

oh god help spurs to win

[boutons]

Tim has take some gawdawful shots.

[rolbaza]

We're tied at halftime when we should be up 10....we can't close out quarters for fuck.

...but we didn't give into the press!!!

[Tek_XX]

Robert Horry needs to get his head out of his ass. Ever wonder if guys purposely don't catch the ball to avoid having to finish over the likes of a wallace.

[twincam]

Although I like Horry,

I just don't like that fact that he cannot make layups and have butter fingers at the same time.
The same goes for Mohammed...

No GRIP...

[smeagol]

We fucking had them at he middle of the second Q. Then we had:

- Nazr "butter hands" unable to catch the ball and dunk

- Horry unable of score a 6 inch layup

- TD bricking a shot.

The momentum turned around.

We need to come up big at the beginning of the 3 Q.

[slayermin]

Im not happy, spurs should be up by at least 5, its gonna be hard to keep it up in the 2nd half, spurs better pick it up on offense

We are deeper. Notice that Pop started guarding them full court. We have more fouls to give.

[atlfan25]

We're tied at halftime when we should be up 10....we can't close out quarters for fuck.
