Game Blog: Spurs vs. Knicks - Mar. 07

[SpursRock20]

Manu and Kawhi have such great chemistry! Anyone else see it?

[timvp]

Manu : Kawhi :: Brady : Moss

[DAF86]

Green committed a backcourt violation, no?

No, he didn't have full control.

[Manu-of-steel]

Fuck. the spurs are playing to the level of the opposing team

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What an incredible pass to a blind shoebox by Manu. Incredible. :wow:

[Manufan909]

I thought that was Bonner who made that crazy pass. Before it got to Leonard for the And-1, I was just thinking "WTF are you doing jackass!!!!":lol

[DPG21920]

Manu : Kawhi :: Brady : Moss

:depressed Great regular season then no title

[Capt Bringdown]

gorgeous teamwork

[Barfunk]

If Manu could stay somewhat healthy, he could be useful all the way until 40

[Fermixalot]

You better make that cut because I'm making that pass.

:lmao

[Brazil]

that was a great pass by manu

[jestersmash]

We're getting a taste of Manu's phenomenal court vision again this game. Loved the between the leg pass to Splitter off the P&R earlier in the game, and a great pass to Leonard.

[Manu-of-steel]

Order restored. RJ, stay on the bench!

[GSH]

Manu is a top 5 passer in the league.

Manu is one of the best passers ever, as far as I'm concerned. His court vision is incredible. And even though there are some other guys who are good at finding passing lanes, Manu creates passing lanes. That part I think he does better than anyone else. He moves, and controls his speed to create the passing lane, and THEN he nails the pass.

[SpursRock20]

Need more of that right there!

[Dex]

:lol That old dude yelling.

[FkLA]

Manu just showing why hes the best player on the team. Dominating the game despite minimal scoring...when was the last time Parker ever did that tbh ?

[timtonymanu]

Manu is back!

[SpursRock20]

O mama! Gino for 333333333333!

[DAF86]

Manu 5th biggest scorer in Spurs history.

[timtonymanu]

Pop tossed!

[Reck]

What happened????

I missed it

[Barfunk]

I think there are going to be alot of teams that would love to have Manu, even in his mid to late thirties.

[Rummpd]

Good night Pop and get home drink some wine early.

[bklynspursfan]

Pop hasn't been ejected yet right? Wants Budenholzer to get some burn :lol

[SpursRock20]

What the hell just happened?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:lmao at Pop being thrown out up 22!

[Fireball]

Pop is crazy ... this is unnecessary having a 20 point lead

[timtonymanu]

Pop just wanted to leave early.

[Manu-of-steel]

Manu!

[Capt Bringdown]

Pop's been thinking about a lovely Claret all night

[wildbill2u]

I know we all believe that the spurs can't win without a throttling defense--but when they start raining threes--game over.

[Sense]

:lmao Pop probably went up to his assistants and said "hey guys I think it's about that time for a double tech, have fun!"

[maverick1948]

Wine time !!!!!!!!!!

BAD CALL got under Pop's skin. Been getting bad calls all night.

[024]

pop wanted to go home early tonight

[ElNono]

Pop with the early dinner reservation...

[Manu-of-steel]

What the Pop!

[Barfunk]

Classic "Prove a Point Pop Ejection"

[Fireball]

I know we all believe that the spurs can't win without a throttling defense--but when they start raining threes--game over.

Spurs only made 5 threes tonight ... against the Knicks thats enough though

[jestersmash]

Loving Manu's effort tonight. 12 points on 5-7 shooting, 5 assists (to 2 T.O.), 3 rebounds, and a steal in 19 minutes. Solid A-level game for him tonight.

Again at the risk of beating a dead horse, he's getting a couple of extra touches that he wouldn't be getting if T.J. Ford was still in the game and on the court with him.

[timtonymanu]

Damn Minny just moved into 8th place in the West. Watch out for those guys.

[Frenzy]

Dam... Anybody else see big tit girl holding the camera cord at the end of the 4th?

[bklynspursfan]

Leonard!!! (taking advantage of Pop not on sidelines) Blair will be taking 3's too! lmao

[SpursRock20]

Kawhi would have never tried that if Pop was on the sidelines lol

[maverick1948]

Anybody notice Kobe went 9-31 tonight for 30 points against Washington only to Pau and Andrew to get their collective asses kicked by the Wizards front court.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Pop's been thinking about a lovely Claret all night

I doubt he's a claret drinker. Seems more like a guy who'd be into a full-bodied Shiraz, or maybe a smooth Cabernet-Merlot. ;) :lol

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Kawhi based god

[timtonymanu]

Great aggression Leonard!

So refreshing to see a small forward that plays like him. LOL RJ.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

JR is hot as fuck. He'll end up with 20+.

[Manu-of-steel]

Damn Minny just moved into 8th place in the West. Watch out for those guys.

Wolves are legit. With Love and Pek down low, and Barea/ Rubio manning the point, Minny is a force to be reckoned with.

[wildbill2u]

Somebody needs to pressure Smith. He can hit some threes himself when he gets going on a tear.

[Fermixalot]

Baron Davis just used up the last of the goodwill I felt towards him after that 07 Playoff run. Dude is playing dirty and cheap right now

[DAF86]

Manu showing some rust there.

[maverick1948]

My cute neighbor Sara !!!!! ONE MORE TIME !!!!!!

[Fpoonsie]

Christ, Manu.

[jestersmash]

Yeah Manu's ball handling isn't quite back yet but it's leaps and bounds better than what he showed during that 5 game stretch in February before he injured his Oblique.

His free throw shooting is a little rusty as well. It's not often that he goes 0-2 at the line.

having a solid second/third big like Darko isn't too shabby either

[Reck]

Sad that Parker and Timmy had to come back in.

[Brazil]

Manu just showing why hes the best player on the team. Dominating the game despite minimal scoring...when was the last time Parker ever did that tbh ?

:lmao u have some great stuff lately... manu's return is giving you a boost.. keep the good work

[Manu-of-steel]

Dam... Anybody else see big tit girl holding the camera cord at the end of the 4th?

Nice real time analysis of the game. lol!:toast

[Fpoonsie]

Christ, RJ.

[BanditHiro]

omfg i hate jr smith

[timtonymanu]

Typical Spurs letting the other team back into it.

[timtonymanu]

Come on!

[Paranoid Pop]

Epic meltdown.

[BanditHiro]

god fucking rj get the fuck out of our team.

[timtonymanu]

Shitty ass RJ shoves Davis then gets his ankle broken by Melo.

[Rummpd]

No energy and sloppy defense - Spurs need a score in a big way.

[Fireball]

Knicks had the same run last night in Dallas ... but they still lost

[WeNeedLength]

Shitty ass RJ shoves Davis then gets his ankle broken by Melo.

I got excited for a second. Sadly, RJ is just fine. :depressed

[maverick1948]

5 fouls on Melo Go at him!!!!!!!

[wildbill2u]

We haven't made a basket in several minutes. Need to score some points or we could lose this damn game yet.

[timtonymanu]

I got excited for a second. Sadly, RJ is just fine. :depressed

:lol my bad

[TDfan2007]

Tale of two halves energy-wise. Tim and RJ playing with their heads up their asses defensively.

[TDfan2007]

And just like that :lol glad I decided to get on Tim now.

[Manu-of-steel]

having a solid second/third big like Darko isn't too shabby either

With small forwards like Webster, D. williams, and *cough* Beasley

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Why did they put rj on melo it makes no fucking sense.


Keep Leonard in the game bud

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We haven't made a basket in several minutes. Need to score some points or we could lose this damn game yet.

Nah. Knicks are just making a run. Teams do that. They'll have to hold us scoreless and score another 13 straight to get the lead.

[Rummpd]

Manu is still friggin clutch

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

See? ;)

[FkLA]

Manu is the best closer in the NBA. Bar none.

[Juggity]

Manu w/ the death blow

[GSH]

Smith never met a shot he didn't take.

[timtonymanu]

I really want to see a game where we close out with Splitter/Duncan/Leonard/Manu/Parker.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Welcome back, Manu. He's controlled all aspects of the game today. Simply superb. :toast

[Barfunk]

Damn wanted to see Manu get 20

[Arcadian]

The Big Three are officially back. When all three play well, we're a kickass team.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu is the best closer in the NBA. Bar none.

IIRC, clutch stats bore that out between 2005-2009, but yeah, he's still got it.

[Brazil]

Where is the dude with his dumb thread on manu not going to have a 20 pts game ever again ? :lol

[Fireball]

next Knicks opponents will thank the Spurs for giving Melo confidence again

[jestersmash]

Where is the dude with his dumb thread on manu not going to have a 20 pts game ever again ? :lol

Hey, technically Manu hasn't scored 20 since he's come back (including tonight) :lol

[BanditHiro]

next Knicks opponents will thank the Spurs for giving Melo confidence again

RJ is such a shit fuck.

[Capt Bringdown]

Fun game. RJ, Bonner and Blair did their best to spoil the party, but Tony was having none of it.

[Brazil]

Hey, technically Manu hasn't scored 20 since he's come back (including tonight) :lol

yeah technically :lol

[ElNono]

Damn, hate missing watching this game

[DPG21920]

Clippers lost to the Nets :tu

Hou/Lakers/Clips = Loss

Spurs = Win

Denver is losing. OKC came back though.

[Manu-of-steel]

TP righting the boat.

[Reck]

Bench did not come through.

Timmy and Parker had to log heavy minutes because the bench couldn't keep a 20 point lead....

[timtonymanu]

Really wanted to hold them under 100.

[Brazil]

maybe its time to let tim, tony on the bench

[Manu-of-steel]

Where is the dude with his dumb thread on manu not going to have a 20 pts game ever again ? :lol

:toast

[Spurtacus]

Butterfingers Anderson

[Manu-of-steel]

Seven spurs with double digit in points. Yeah!

[wildbill2u]

I guess this is showcase time for Anderson. Maybe not.

[BanditHiro]

lin got to stat those pad.

[DPG21920]

Spurs are contenders again!

Also, I know it's not a huge deal, but I really like overall what I see from JA. He seems to have his legs back and he brings quite a few things to the table IMO.

[BanditHiro]

lin got to stat those pad.

wow i drank to much

[DPG21920]

Good focused play overall. When you get home games vs wounded teams you have to win. They didn't against Denver, but they took care of biznass tonight.

[timtonymanu]

Good win. Much better energy tonight than the last 3 games.

[wildbill2u]

Gotta love that kid Lin. He never gave up or quit trying hard.

[Fpoonsie]

Lulz. Lin making everything once it doesn't matter.

[Dex]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Lin and Green with the "cast-offs who made it back" hug? :lmao

[Dex]

wow i drank to much

You're not as think as you drunk you are.

[Paranoid Pop]

Nice win, lazy D in the 4th was scary tho.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nice win, lazy D in the 4th was scary tho.

Only if you're paranoid and don't understand that basketball is a game of runs that end. :lol

[jjktkk]

Nice win Spurs. :tu

[Sense]

I love how the West is making it easier for the Spurs to clinch the 2 spot.

[TampaDude]

Parker scored 32 and Manu and Timmy both had a good game.

Nice blowout win for the Spurs. Looks like "Linsanity" is officially dead.

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[Mugen]

116 against a horrible defensive team and RJ & Bon Bon combine for 0pts. :lmao

[Reck]

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

Linsanity has been dead for quite some time now.

TP put the finishing touches tonight.

Still, Lin will turn out to be a solid PG in the end.

[TampaDude]

The Spurs were just shooting some shots...just beating a team they're supposed to beat...no surprises there... :toast

[ace3g]

oh Amare...


Buck Harvey ‏ @Buck_SA


Amar'e said the Spurs "don't have nearly the talent to compete with us." Which is another way of saying D'Antoni won't be coach of the year.

[timtonymanu]

oh Amare...

CROFL Stoudewhiner

[TDMVPDPOY]

116 against a horrible defensive team and RJ & Bon Bon combine for 0pts. :lmao

bonner had many opportunities to chuck 3s this game, but he passed them up to his team mates...as for rj, he chuckd and hit bricks

[sehui]

I think this is a sign that Ginobili is back at full force, 17 points in 26 min with 6 assists and 4 rebounds?

His ballhandling is still a bit funky, he lost it like 2-3 times from some fullcourt press by Baron and Shumpert.

But otherwise, our messiah has returned people.

[Sean Cagney]

CROFL Stoudewhiner

You mean to tell me Snozzle nose is running his mouth again about the Spurs? Seems to me that team is in his nightmares forever, he will forever hate the Spurs from costing his teams a few titles! Atleast one of them in PHX! :lol:lol
