Game Blog: Spurs @ Sixers - Feb. 8

[Invision]

Splitter with the Timmy like shot! Man if he got that going, imagine that lol (i know he missed but still)

He aimed for that glass i saw that

[Texas_Ranger]

Splitter will get benched. :rollin

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

damn it, these sixers are so damn streaky

[Ice009]

FUCK ME BONNER. That was fucking pathetic.

Bonner is so fucking slow on the court to look around and see wtf is happening.

[WeNeedLength]

Wow Bonner. He never seems to know where the ball is sometimes :lmao

[DPG21920]

I'm glad Tiago was greedy on that play. He was pissed he was blocked and wanted it again.

[jestersmash]

Is it just me, or was Bonner open when Tiago passed them the ball and chose to pass up that shot?

I'm not sure the re-post was warranted in that situation. Typically you re-post immediately if you see your big man get better position underneath (closer to the basket). It looked like Tiago was pushed away from the basket. Not only did Bonner pass up what looked to be an open 3, he put Tiago in a tough situation.

[Kuestmaster]

:lolLol Bonner doesn't knowing where is the ball.

[MI21]

I seriously expect Splitter to be put on the bench after missing 2 shots.

It's sad. So sad.

[MannyIsGod]

Pretty damn nice dunk by Young there.

[crc21209]

The 6ers are having such a tough time scoring. The Spurs D looks pretty damn good right now....:tu

[baseline bum]

Nice pass Tiago.

[SpursRock20]

Parker working well off the screens tonight, and actually knows how to feed Tiago the ball. Looks like the 76ers never seen a pick and roll before tonight.

[Fireball]

Tony wants to be an All-Star ... thats for sure

[DPG21920]

Tiago to TP now! Some of that hi/low like Tim does w tony.

[crc21209]

Goaltending bitches!

[timtonymanu]

Parker on pace for another 40 pt game?

[Old School 44]

TNT - Tony and Tiago!!!

[Chachachango]

Why is RJ in? has no businees playing at this point. The fuk green.

[bklynspursfan]

Get Neal in for Green

[Warlord23]

Green isn't even getting close on his jumpers

[urunobili]

Bonner giving momentum to the sixers...

[baseline bum]

Bonner on Thaddeus Young... FML :depressed

[Paranoid Pop]

Green still at 0 while Neal is on the bench wtf.

[bklynspursfan]

TNT - Tony and Tiago!!!

Dag all these years with Tim and never that Nick name for them?? lol

[timtonymanu]

Bonner is getting owned badly.

[crc21209]

Bonner's D on Young was HORRIBLE!

[urunobili]

TNT - Tony and Tiago!!!

:lobt:

[DPG21920]

Does Malik's voice not remind anyone else of Fraziers?

[bbarry]

Moment of truth right now for Neal. Parker to bench to rest a bit.

[Warlord23]

Need some Tim/Tiago for at least 6 mins now

[MI21]

Bonner on Thad Young makes me cry.

[Fireball]

Tony too selfish there ...

[timtonymanu]

Green sucks as a starter. I don't want to see him starting again.

[MI21]

Wow Jefferson rebounds.

[crc21209]

TD needs to come in NOW.....

[WeNeedLength]

Play some defense.... :wtf

[Robz4000]

Blowin the lead...

[Texas_Ranger]

everyone scores on bonner.. btw, great lineup

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

damn it Green virtually non-existence on offense..

[DPG21920]

Spurs need to re-focus.

[bklynspursfan]

NEal!!!! Haha

[Chachachango]

Neal with it.

[baseline bum]

Big shot choo-choo.

[TDMVPDPOY]

shit rj and bonner on at the same time

[Invision]

Neal with it

[bklynspursfan]

Plz Timmy for Bonner

[007nites]

Where the fuck is timmy?

[Chachachango]

Splllllllllits

[Barfunk]

we need to play inside out now

[DPG21920]

Lol Tiago!

[timtonymanu]

Neal!!!!!!!!!!

[bklynspursfan]

LOL Splitter is amazing

[SpursRock20]

Does Malik's voice not remind anyone else of Fraziers?

True. I didn't even know it was Malik until they showed the fan that was holding the sign, "Remember the Alamo, Malik?"

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Neal is so cold

[baseline bum]

Tiago isoing the block.... beautiful thing to see there.

[easy7]

Splitter... Spurs need to tighten up.

[bklynspursfan]

Please he did not walk you Moron

[DPG21920]

Tiago changed that shot as well. Just a great game from him

[SpursRock20]

Splitter with the strength!

[Chachachango]

He mad?

[bklynspursfan]

Now they're losing it...

[Cry Havoc]

Splitter becoming a dominant player.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Wow Splitter, awesome.

[angelbelow]

More post ups for Splitter please. If they double its game over with Neal and Bonner on the floor right now.

[bklynspursfan]

Tiago great Job, now get out and watch from the bench with Corey

[easy7]

Williams wanted a foul regardless...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Splitter definitely walked on the step through. We've actually gotten some calls tonight.

[crc21209]

Lou Williams imploding.....

[BRs.Ganso]

Splitter with nice screen to 3pt of Neal

later with fake shot

later with nice block on williams

[Texas_Ranger]

who do you think Tim replaces?

[Invision]

Im glad Pop is actually giving splitter minutes

[Cry Havoc]

Bloop

No I agree the foul calls have been shitty, but they need to maintain some semblance of professionalism. That's why they're play by play men.

[SpursRock20]

This game has been kinda weird to be honest. I figured the Sixers were a better team than this, and we would have to bring our best game and we really haven't.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

how butthurt are these sixers* commentators? they replay a miss..

[baseline bum]

Dag all these years with Tim and never that Nick name for them?? lol

The TnT nickname caught on for a while in 04; the national media was going with it when the Spurs went on that monster streak to end the season.

[WeNeedLength]

Tiago is beasting!

Does this everytime he plays though tbh....

Keep Timmy glued to the bench Pop!

[timtonymanu]

Pop will still give credit to Bonner after the game and not Splitter.

[Sense]

I like Rose and the other commentator... not being that big a homers...

[Manu-of-steel]

Splitter definitely walked on the step through. We've actually gotten some calls tonight.

yep. that's a travel

[Fireball]

Duncan in for Splitter

[SpursRock20]

Splitter definitely walked on the step through. We've actually gotten some calls tonight.

I guess Violet Palmer became a Spurs fan.

[DPG21920]

Spurs have gotten calls for sure but they have had consistent energy tonight. Playing hard and really taking advantage of every inch they've been given

[Creation88]

matt bonner is a defensive retard.

[jestersmash]

Splitter - 15 points in 17 minutes on 70% shooting.

[Sense]

No I agree the foul calls have been shitty, but they need to maintain some semblance of professionalism. That's why they're play by play men.

I don't know who you are listening to, but I don't think they are bad at all.

[baseline bum]

This game has been kinda weird to be honest. I figured the Sixers were a better team than this, and we would have to bring our best game and we really haven't.

Nah, they're nowhere near as good as their record. If they could play Washington, Detroit, and Toronto every night in the playoffs then they could go far.

[Kuestmaster]

Splitter confidence is high in the last games.

[Texas_Ranger]

lol Pop... that's just pathetic

[BRs.Ganso]

splitter got benched! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Chachachango]

Splitter out :(

[DPG21920]

No Tim and Tiago =[

[FkLA]

smfh this is why I wanted Timmy to stay on the bench, I knew if he was coming in Splitter was going out and Bonner remains...

[WeNeedLength]

Pop :wtf

Bonner :wtf
GTFO

[maddnezz]

ball dont lie

[MI21]

I can't believe Pop took Splitter out. I can not believe.

[The ADMIRAL 50]

Aaaaaaaand pop put in Duncan for Splitter....not bonner. God damn it.

[crc21209]

Pop leaves Bonner in....WTF.

[Ice009]

So he fucking took Tiago out and left Bonner in. SHIT.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Splitter is PWNing them, so he keeps Bonner in. WTF, Pop??? You still have RJ and Neal out there for 3pt shooting!

[007nites]

Yes! Bonner is playing 1000x better then Splitter. Good decision Pop...

[timtonymanu]

Pop: :cry I have to put in one Center and one power forward at all times :cry

[maddnezz]

pass da ball tp

[Texas_Ranger]

Bonner go kill yourself

[baseline bum]

Why is that honky faggot on the floor with that baldheaded faggot? How are the Spurs maintaining this record with those two completely worthless piles of shit in the rotation?

[bklynspursfan]

The TnT nickname caught on for a while in 04; the national media was going with it when the Spurs went on that monster streak to end the season.

Dam don't know why I don't remember that

[Chachachango]

Where the fuk is TIAGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?

[Sense]

They need to keep driving and getting fouls... can't settle for the jumpshot.. -_-

[DPG21920]

Finish strong.

[baseline bum]

Nice fallaway TD.

[007nites]

Thad young destroying Bonner

[crc21209]

Bonners fault right there....

[easy7]

Duncan!!!

[DPG21920]

Lou is a great scorer. Just really blossomed in the past couple years.

[Robz4000]

There you go Timmy. Gotta play some D.

[Spurs Brazil]

Big shot TD

[bklynspursfan]

Wtf!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????

[biskvito]

there it is

[urunobili]

Tiago out of the game, the sixers get back in the game :pctoss

[TDMVPDPOY]

look for parker and td to ball hog in last 4 mins of the game and lose the game

[Juggity]

Another 30 point game for TP. Damn, son.

Tiago would have 30 too if he'd played 35 minutes.

[maddnezz]

to much

[bklynspursfan]

Tiago out of the game, the sixers get back in the game :pctoss

:bang

[easy7]

Tony...with a dagger,,,,

[baseline bum]

Good night for the Church of Parker.

[Fireball]

Bonner recovering on PnR reminds me of Beaker from the Muppet Show

[crc21209]

:lol Loose ball foul on Timmy....BS.

[Chachachango]

Damn, thank you Tony.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TP!!

[TDMVPDPOY]

put a fkn rebounder in damn it, fkn pop being the idiot

[Robz4000]

Need to make stops, Spurs!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

TP big big jumper there :tu

[Kuestmaster]

what a joke call on timmy

[Manu-of-steel]

good job, so far. Go spurs!

[Ice009]

Why is Bonner and RJ out there?

Great shot TP.

[timtonymanu]

We would have killed it last year if we had this TP and TD in the playoffs.

[007nites]

Lol im surprised Timmy hasn't been T'd up yet throwing his arms up like that

[WeNeedLength]

I just don't understand anymore...

Tiago is an absolute monster when he plays.

There's no stretch 4 playing for Philly so WHY THE FUCK are you playing Bonner in crunch time pop???? :bang

[DPG21920]

TP with a pretty big shot there. I'm thrilled with this game from SA. If they hold on its a huge win considering the rest and next two opponents.

[DesignatedT]

Malik Rose talks more about the Spurs than the Sixers during this broadcast lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Tony...with a dagger,,,,

uh, not even close to the end of game yet..

[Invision]

Maybe tiago comes in now :(

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I guess Pop thinks Bonner has a better chance of keeping up with Thad Young... really? Or he needs the 3rd spacer I guess.

Thad is the kind of guy we're missing: 6'8-9 and athletic. I would've thought Kawhi on Thad makes sense.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Who are the commentators for the Sixers?

[Sense]

What the fuck is Bonner doing out there if he's not taking the wide open shots? smh Pop.

[Fireball]

RJ with -10 ... only Spur with a negative plus minus

[Ice009]

damn it Green virtually non-existence on offense..

His shooting mechanics look off to me. Looks like he's been shooting with a bent elbow the last few games. Not straightening his elbow on the follow through. Maybe it's the sleeve though that is making it look like that to me?

[maddnezz]

spurs not a lot of bitchin to the refs will help them win this game, nice, stay mature fellas.

[Sense]

Who are the commentators for the Sixers?

It's Malik Rose, the other is the one that is usually the homer.. no idea who he is, but overall they haven't been bad.

[bklynspursfan]

Big play to Timmy

[SpursRock20]

RJ with -10 ... only Spur with a negative plus minus

Has he honestly done anything?

[easy7]

As long as they match baskets..

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TD!!!!!!!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

Lou Williams in the fourth is ridic

[Chachachango]

Would be funny if bonner makes a three.



Tooooooooooooooooooooontyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[TIMMYD!]

Parker unstoppable once again.

[MI21]

Parker is BEASTING on the pnr

lol the Parker can't pass crowd

[bklynspursfan]

Parker!!!

[DPG21920]

TP is wet :lol

[WeNeedLength]

why is Neal on Lou??????????

[Robz4000]

C'mon Spurs, close this out. No more open 3s please.

[024]

pppparrrker

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Splitter and Timmy have killed the weak Philly pnr D, especially right down the middle of the paint.

[DesignatedT]

damnit neal

[easy7]

Parker with 35 points

[Warlord23]

No stops for either team, TP is locked in

[Spurs Brazil]

Now it's the dagger!!!!!!!!!!!

Tony huge game

[DesignatedT]

Parker fuckin ballllllllinnnnn

[WeNeedLength]

TP droppin' it like its hotttttttt

[maddnezz]

Has he honestly done anything?
rebounds i think

[crc21209]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sense]

Tony Parker is killing them!

[SpursRock20]

Dude!!!! Parker has fulfilled the clutch role while Manu has been out!!! IM LOVING ME SOME TP!

[Kuestmaster]

Parker is in beast mode

[Ice009]

TP incredible.

[timtonymanu]

Williams already clinched 6 Man of the Year and also a candidate for Most Improved.

And no one ever talked about him before this year.

[Invision]

Lol at Duncan and Parker only people touching ball on O

[007nites]

TP with 35 Points, 3 rebounds, and 8 assists

[DesignatedT]

Parker should start the fuckin ASG over Paul.

[therealtruth]

Another 30 point game for TP. Damn, son.

Tiago would have 30 too if he'd played 35 minutes.

Pop's got to keep him in his place.

[Fireball]

thats the bad thing here ... Spurs are winning games with the current rotation ... so Pop sees no reason to play Splitter more

[baseline bum]

Wow, Ginger with a big board.

[jestersmash]

Pop is still livid about that missed defensive rotation. He was giving everyone on the bench an earful.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Lol at Duncan and Parker only people touching ball on O

this is where it gets stagnant on offense at times of the game

if i was a 76s should just leave rj open, he hasnt hit a shit all game...

[Robz4000]

Good fight for the rebound, Duncan. Get this and we're good.

[Chachachango]

Tim is gonna win the tip.

[MannyIsGod]

Spurs should hold on here. Pretty damn nice road win.

The Spurs don't have Manu but the way Tiago is playing they def have a big 3.

[MannyIsGod]

Lol at Duncan and Parker only people touching ball on O

You think this is a bad thing?

[Juggity]

RRT off to a great start

[Capt Bringdown]

thats the bad thing here ... Spurs are winning games with the current rotation ... so Pop sees no reason to play Splitter more

Same as last year.

[MannyIsGod]

:lol new age Spurs Fan complaining about a 2 man game. I won't bring up Stockton and Malone.

[Invision]

One could only dream of a TP, Manu, Leonard, Tim, and Splitter Lineup

[urunobili]

did TP just break his FT% record in one game? maybe even his consecutive streak!

[Kuestmaster]

Parker is beasting but it's good that finally Manu's returning, Tony is practically carrying the team alone, and it would be exhausting in long term

[Invision]

You think this is a bad thing?

No i think its funny

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

hell yessss rollinnnn

[Cant_Be_Faded]

What's gotten into Bonner? That was a cluuuuutch rebound by the big ginger

[Spurs Brazil]

Huge win!

Great game by Tony

[bklynspursfan]

TP full on beast mode, with a little relief from Manu coming up

[Reck]

Not a rout but still a win.

And some of you were wetting their pants because Spurs were facing Philly.

In the end they're still no match for the big real contenders.

[therealtruth]

thats the bad thing here ... Spurs are winning games with the current rotation ... so Pop sees no reason to play Splitter more

Same thing happened last year and that sure worked out. Either Pop or Bonner needs to go.

[Robz4000]

Good steal, Green!

[crc21209]

TP with a fucking awesome game! 37 points! :tu

[easy7]

Green with the steal...game ovah

[024]

green seals it

[Fireball]

what a great win ... maybe the Spurs really can get out of the RRT with a positive record

[timtonymanu]

Not a rout but still a win.

And some of you were wetting their pants because Spurs were facing Philly.

In the end they're still no match for the big real contenders.

Considering we've been losing lately at the Sixers arena, of course we'll worry.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Williams already clinched 6 Man of the Year and also a candidate for Most Improved.

And no one ever talked about him before this year.

Not true. He's been in the conversation for 6th man for the past few years. If you play fantasy you know he can score. ;)

[Robz4000]

I will now officially call this Spurs team best in the west.

[Juggity]

Rj scores his first point

[024]

green is everywhere

[timtonymanu]

Much respect to Philly and their announcers.

[WeNeedLength]

Lou Williams was looking at one of his teammates after that steal and the teammate screamed," Whattya lookin' at me like that for?!?!?!?"


:lmao

[bklynspursfan]

Pop just said "give me a call" to Doug... Wonder why lol

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

It's Malik Rose, the other is the one that is usually the homer.. no idea who he is, but overall they haven't been bad.

Yeah, I saw that someone mentioned "Rose" and I was thinking it might be Malik.

[mystargtr34]

So can we expect Tiago to get around 12-14 MPG in the playoffs... since Tim will no doubt be up around 35?

[urunobili]

I dunno y'all but I'm very impressed with this win...

[boutons_deux]

a darn surprising and pleasant road win at a difficult gym

[Barfunk]

1st win in Philidelphia since March 2008

[maddnezz]

Yaaaaaa! good game fellas thayed mentaly tuff.

[easy7]

Great game, Spurs finally won one there since 2008

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great win! Two big wins to start the RRT! Excellent! :toast

[timtonymanu]

Finally. We end the Philly losing streak and continue the win streak. Great win.

[Death In June]

Splitter with the least amount of minutes among spurs players w/o a DNP-CD

[benefactor]

Big time win.

[007nites]

One could only dream of a TP, Manu, Leonard, Tim, and Splitter Lineup

This should be the go to lineup late in the fourth

PG Parker
SG Manu
SF Leonard
PF Timmy
C Tiago

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Splitter with the least amount of minutes among active players

:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lolwtf :rollin:rollin:rollin

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal best game of the season with 18pts 6asts (4-4 3PT)

[Kuestmaster]

Great win! 2 for 2. So far so good.
Now two days to rest, not a usual thing this season, and let's take on the Nets, hopefully with Manu

Go Spurs Go!!!

[DPG21920]

I can't state enough how big this win was. If the Spurs stay focused they should start the rrt 4-0 and really put themselves in a great spot. Most gratifying win of the season for me. I wish Tiago would have finished the game though.

Hopefully there are no let downs.

[Barfunk]

The TIRED OLD BAG OF SHIT with 16pts, 11rebs, ast, 2blks 4-6 free throws...

[Sense]

Great great win...

[timtonymanu]

Parker's performance tonight should easily clinch him his spot on the all-star team tomorrow.

[baseline bum]

Nice. Spurs get a good road win and I can switch two channels over for Duke-UNC.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

whoooooooooooooooooooooooooop

"y'know, you juss have ta Neal With It, y'know"

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Has TP ever played better? He's in 2007 Finals MVP form, or maybe 2009 Manu injury form, right now. Awesome to watch.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This should be the go to lineup late in the fourth

PG Parker
SG Manu
SF Leonard
PF Timmy
C Tiago

1 3pt shooter isn't enough spacing. Kawhi's 3-ball isn't reliable enough yet.

[Kuestmaster]

Parker's performance tonight should easily clinch him his spot on the all-star team tomorrow.

votes are already sent... hope he makes the team, he deserve it

[Manu-of-steel]

Nice win, spurs! yeah! 2 straight road wins!

[GSH]

Has TP ever played better? He's in 2007 Finals MVP form, or maybe 2009 Manu injury form, right now. Awesome to watch.

:tu

[GSH]

Tony talking about Tiago, "He was not MVP of the Euroleague for nothing."

[outmap]

Red Rocket with NINE Boards! :D

[Capt Bringdown]

Duncan and Splitter combine for 31, Tony's monster game + a superb Neal outing combine for 55 pts & 14 assists. Damn, even Bonner hauled down 9 boards. Heck of a game.

[ivanfromwestwood]

Tony talking about Tiago, "He was not MVP of the Euroleague for nothing."i couldnt help but think of Manu Forever when he said that:lol

[timtonymanu]

This team is finally getting a two-day break. First time of the season! Crazy!

[Manufan909]

Wonder what Splitter's averages would be this year if he averaged 27 min, and had finally started after the Dallas loss.

And you'd think he'd get more than 17 min in a game where he shot 7-10 and had ZERO fouls.

[MI21]

Literally everyone played there part except the usual characters Jefferson and Blair.

Fantastic win in a place the Spurs rarely win, even when the Sixers suck.

[timvp]

:wow Pop actually mentioned Splitter as a reason why the Spurs are winning. He named him after Matt Bonner, Danny Green and Gary Neal ... and after a long pause ... but he named him.

Baby steps.

[jjktkk]

why doesn't splitter get to play more :cry :cry :cry

oh the spurs won?

why didn't splitter get to play more :cry :cry :cry

Mrs. Splitter, stop posting using multiple accounts. :nope

:lol

[crc21209]

:wow Pop actually mentioned Splitter as a reason why the Spurs are winning. He named him after Matt Bonner, Danny Green and Gary Neal ... and after a long pause ... but he named him.
