[Texas_Ranger]

Hahahahahhaha

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao A tech on Duncan who's in a suit. Wtf!?

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

What the fuck??

[szkorhetz]

WTF refs??

[bklynspursfan]

Wtf?

[ace3g]

lol Timmy with the T

[MannyIsGod]

I wouldn't doubt that some of the guys do read these forums.

Oh I know some of them do.

[Two10Whitey]

LMAO Timmy with a tech off the bench hahahaha. He isnt even playing!! lol

[loveforthegame]

I've seen it all now.

[Nathan89]

+/-

Duncan -1
:lol

[Cry Havoc]

What a shit foul on the 6ers. That was so overly intentional.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Who called that tech?

[bklynspursfan]

Diaw with great Defense

[Chachachango]

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeesus ty For Jackson.

[bklynspursfan]

Who called that tech?

Apparently wasn't Crawford, but I think he game the signal to make it happen

[szkorhetz]

Jax!

[Thompson]

What did Tim do? Was he laughing at Crawford again?

[Tp9gospursgo]

Hate Crawford. What did Duncan do? lolololol

[loveforthegame]

This team has so much heart.

[angelbelow]

Jack must have really been struggling before I started watching. -18 or something like that but since then I've seen him drive hard to the basket and draw fouls, make plays for his teammates and hit a 3pt.

[bklynspursfan]

Jackson should've shot that man. Smh

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Crofl crofl, anyone see that black guy gocrazy in the stands after Jackson hit that three

[Manu-20]

shot that next time jax

[TDMVPDPOY]

jax being unselfish hurts his game man, shoot that shit

[Spurs Brazil]

Diaw with good D on Brand

[Splits]

I've never seen a team so well disciplined at getting 2 for 1s at the end of quarters. Just amazing how aware they are of the clock.

[Nathan89]

Jack must have really been struggling before I started watching. -18 or something like that but since then I've seen him drive hard to the basket and draw fouls, make plays for his teammates and hit a 3pt.

Turnovers.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Oh shit! Manu! What a dunk.

[Juggity]

Manu with a huge dunk

[loveforthegame]

That was pretty.

[Obstructed_View]

Wow.

[Manu-20]

Manu fcking ginobili

[timvp]

152 points in three quarters against the Sixers this year is GREAT work.

[Cry Havoc]

Ginobili just told Blair that he's not going to have the SC highlight of the night award. XD

[sharkenleo]

MANNNUUUUU!!! :downspin:

[Warlord23]

Some momentum going into the half ... looks like Manu's getting back into the swing of things

[MannyIsGod]

Damn, Manu surprised me.

[EVAY]

Parker takes on three defenders to score at the rim, so Pop takes him out, then Manu does the exact same thing.

Nice heart!!

[Spurs Brazil]

OMG Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[foodie2]

My husband, a casual Spurs fan, walking through the room sees Diaw from behind: "who's the guy with the GIANT arse?":lol

[Manu-20]

Diaw with good D on Brand
yup noticed that to we need to keep diaw out there more on him in the 2nd half when he is in

[Reck]

Such a stress free game. Love it when we face meat chops and not worrying about a potential loss.

[spurspokesman]

That was a monstrous dunk, sons
yessir

[DBMethos]

Dayyyyyyum.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

152 points in three quarters against the Sixers this year is GREAT work.

Must difficult 152 points ever achieved, tbh

[benefactor]

Good to see that type of explosion from Manu. He's getting back there. :tu

[loveforthegame]

They finished that second quarter on a high note. Good to see after the terrible start to that quarter.

Not worried about the missed shots but the turnovers were awful.

I thought this would be a game where Leonard would step up but one shot attempt? Not good.

Spurs are battling and that's all you can ask for.

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

can someone plz make a Gif of Manu's Dunk on Hawes

[timvp]

Apparently all the players read Timvps posts.

:lol I need to start more critical threads, tbh.

[Chachachango]

Anybody else think Virginia from the Womack chevrolet commercial is hot?

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

:lol I need to start more critical threads, tbh.
Have you ever tried emailing RC or Pop your grades?

[Chase_the_Bass]

Pfft...Manu? I can guard him out past the three point line no problem. He's like 40 years old and injured.

:nope

[Cry Havoc]

:lol I need to start more critical threads, tbh.

Next time criticize Blair's boarding instead of his hops. :wakeup

[sharkenleo]

A gif of Manu's dunk would be swell.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Time to watch Durant-James show

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

:spam: didnt think about that.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol brisket commercial fck this shit why they always making me hungry

[Cry Havoc]

Leonard just 8 minutes in the first half... not a good sign on the 3rd of a b2b2b. :(

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Leonard just 8 minutes in the first half... not a good sign on the 3rd of a b2b2b. :(

He is next on the list to get injured

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

Leonard just 8 minutes in the first half... not a good sign on the 3rd of a b2b2b. :(
prob because iggy's not playing.

[bklynspursfan]

I can't believe I missed the Manu dunk.

[bklynspursfan]

Was it like the one he had vs the Lakers years ago on like samaki walker and those guys?

[bklynspursfan]

Just saw this poll on NBA.com

Which player has the best floater?


Chris Paul



Rajon Rondo



Derrick Rose



Someone else

Rose is winning with 45%.... The disrespect Parker gets

[Cry Havoc]

prob because iggy's not playing.

Even then, you'd think as tired as our legs are that our rooks would get MORE burn, not less, in games like this.

[Spurs Brazil]

Leonard just 8 minutes in the first half... not a good sign on the 3rd of a b2b2b. :(

He has a brace in his right knee. I don't remember him with that yesterday

[Cry Havoc]

Rose is winning with 45%.... The disrespect Parker gets

Until this season I would have said that Tony is the most underrated PG in NBA history, right alongside Andre Miller.

[bklynspursfan]

Until this season I would have said that Tony is the most underrated PG in NBA history, right alongside Andre Miller.

Very true. But like he always says, he's got more rings than all these other "elite" point guards

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

Even then, you'd think as tired as our legs are that our rooks would get MORE burn, not less, in games like this.
yea. pop should put him on brand or thad.

[timvp]

My husband, a casual Spurs fan, walking through the room sees Diaw from behind: "who's the guy with the GIANT arse?":lol

:lol Good thing he didn't see him a couple months back.








Overall, good first half. The Spurs were pretty dominant outside of that one stretch.

-Parker solid on both ends after bad first few possessions on D.

-Manu much better in second quarter and help D very good.

-Jack pretty bad but at least he just kept at it and didn't disappear.

-Blair great energy on the third night of a b2b2b.

-Good to see Green's three-point slump end.

-Leonard didn't play very much. Wonder if Pop doesn't want to wear out the rook.

-Dentmon started good but kinda faded in his final few minutes.

-Bonner was effective. As long as the Sixers are going to defend him with Hawes, I'd keep him out there. Hawes can't help but sag.

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

is it just me or does it sound like the judge says "lets get this game retarded" in the wayne wright commercial?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Even then, you'd think as tired as our legs are that our rooks would get MORE burn, not less, in games like this.

Get it? Cuz even our rookies minutes need to be monitored

[bklynspursfan]

Bonner with Elite Defense. lol

[Chachachango]

Daaaaaamn, did u see that catch?

[TDMVPDPOY]

bonner doin fine job on hawes, is he leading +- already

[bklynspursfan]

Missed a travel there on Parker

[TDMVPDPOY]

dancing bear with a shit start to the 2nd half

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

cant believe i wanted a player who gets owned by bonner. Hawes is a waste of a big body & is a pussy.

[Cry Havoc]

Parker got it goin'.

[sharkenleo]

Tony's floater = beautiful

[Chachachango]

Bonner went for the ball and gave up on the last second. LOL bonner funny.

[bklynspursfan]

Stupid ass blair

[jestersmash]

First thought when Green passed that ball to Blair... "black hole"

I knew he was determined to get a shot attempt up.

[Manu-20]

blair is so stupid goes one on one 3 starghit times and failes each time

[Kyl3]

Not quite tall enough yet Blair

[Cry Havoc]

Elliott making a suicide joke. Wow. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair holding the ball to much. Back to what was working in the 1st half. Don't try to be the hero

[TDMVPDPOY]

dancing bear, get him off the fkn court

[Manu-20]

put diaw in for blair pop

[Kyl3]

Finally

[loveforthegame]

Missed fts drive me crazy.

[Manu-20]

Kawhi 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Leonard 33333333333

[sharkenleo]

talmbout bonner!

[Chachachango]

LOL Bonner looked he was getting raped. LOL then he yelled something. Ah fucking bonner.

[loveforthegame]

The beast just doing what he does.

[urunobili]

why no Anderson if Neal is out? WTF?

[jestersmash]

Missed fts drive me crazy.

Spurs are something like 24th in the league in team FT%.

I'm pretty sure we'd be automatic tier 1 championship contenders if we simply improved our free throw shooting and nothing else.

[MI21]

Fucking outburst of emotion from Kawhi after the 3 ball.

[bklynspursfan]

Green!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Good shooting from Green. Amazing turnaround from last night.

[loveforthegame]

So much love for this team.

[bklynspursfan]

Looks like we might go 3-0 on our b2b2b :)

Good cause our next 3 are all on the road including a game vs the Lakers

[loveforthegame]

Bonner having a nice game. I rag on him as much as anyone but he's stepped up tonight.

[TDMVPDPOY]

dancing bear again, fck this shit

[TDMVPDPOY]

wheres dawson?

[Chachachango]

Was that the guy from pawn stars?

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Crazy fuckin play

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol bonner shouldve dunked that shit

[angelbelow]

Beautiful drive and floater from Bonner. He looks tired though..

[benefactor]

Bonner's floater is pretty effective. Really sucks that his nuts draw up during the playoffs.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Dentmon for backup PG
Australia can keep mills

[MmP]

Was that the guy from pawn stars?

Yeah I thought the same thing!

[Spurs Brazil]

Leonard is a beast

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao

Anyone else find that couple creepy as shit?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Spurs been so desperate for of depth and it was right here shook along
No one can say lil Corey didn't get his hands

[bklynspursfan]

They have to be related.

http://nbaspot.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=26216

[Manu-20]

put diaw in for blair

[benefactor]

I have man love for Thaddeus Young.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

:lmao

Anyone else find that couple creepy as shit?

I got a weird incestual vibe

[TDMVPDPOY]

fck i hate this shit with the dancing bear circus shots against a couple of players in the key

[Spurs Brazil]

OK, now Blair is in stupid mode. Sit him

[TDMVPDPOY]

:lmao

Anyone else find that couple creepy as shit?

looked like 2 kids man, wtf

[jestersmash]

Spurs have exceeded my expectations so far. 3rd game in 3 nights. No Tim/Tiago.

[MannyIsGod]

I got a weird incestual vibe

Yeah it was really really weird.

[Nathan89]

Blair is going to suck so bad against Bynum and Pau. Can't even guard Brand who is basically his size.

[Chachachango]

That man is a very happy guy.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Leonard running pick and rolls now hoh boy CORSO

[JRHernandez88]

Can someone post Blair and Ginobilis dunks? Just got home and missed it.

[bklynspursfan]

Manu

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao

Manu didn't need to flop on that one. Damn.

[$pursDynasty]

Give Dejuan some love in here, he is being productive

[bklynspursfan]

Can someone post Blair and Ginobilis dunks? Just got home and missed it.

You didn't miss anything with Blair. Just a fat guy 2 handed-jam. But I hear Manu's dunk was vintage. I missed it too :depressed

[bbarry]

kawhi is beginning to miss a lot of paint points...... i guess he's coming down to earth a bit.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol ginos nose>ur head

[Chachachango]

Fuck yes.

[MannyIsGod]

Great tip by Dejuan.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good help by Blair

Leonard never stop fighting.

[biziofromdowntown]

Da beast!

[bklynspursfan]

kawhi is beginning to miss a lot of paint points...... i guess he's coming down to earth a bit.

Nah. 3 games in 3 nights. Just doesn't have his legs

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Blair fuckin them up.

[benefactor]

13pt lead?

[$pursDynasty]

Dejuan with it!

[timtonymanu]

Gotta give it to Blair. Guy has been playing well lately. Flashback of his rookie year production.

[loveforthegame]

Blair doing work that's for sure.

[Spurs Brazil]

That what Blair has to do. Set the pick and wait for the pass

[Chachachango]

Liking the energy.

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

dammit blair. just pick the damn ball up.

[JRHernandez88]

This team is so freakin stacked it unbelievable. AWESOME.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Blair is playing based tonight

Prahps to him for the great effort

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao @ that attempt to draw a charge by Diaw.

[bklynspursfan]

Sixers announcers saying Diaw fouled him LMAO

[Spurs Brazil]

Diaw defense is better than I expected, actually much better

[Reck]

Ugly sequence at the end.

[timvp]

Ugly at times but you can't criticize Blair's effort :tu

[TDMVPDPOY]

76s exposed man

[Cant_Be_Faded]

:lmao @ that attempt to draw a charge by Diaw.

He was literally too slow and fat to properly draw it

[bklynspursfan]

Man I'd be thrilled to keep these guys under 90. That would be 3 straight games

[loveforthegame]

Solid 3rd quarter. Do the guys have enough to finish them off in the 4th.

Never thought we'd be playing this well against Philly. Up 11 at the end of 3 is awesome. :tu

[MI21]

Diaw blew up that fast break by himself.

His defense has completely and utterly surprised me so far.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great 3rd quarter, keep the energy for one more and get this W

[MI21]

Diaw blew up that fast break by himself.

His defense has completely and utterly surprised me so far.

[timtonymanu]

This is my first time seeing Diaw in action (in fact a Spurs game in a while). He looks decent so far.

[jestersmash]

To have 76 points @ 47% shooting through 3 quarters on arguably the best defensive team in the NBA (certainly a top 3 defensive team in the NBA) on the 3rd night of a back to back is nothing short of amazing. And without Tim/Tiago to boot.

[hater]

Dejuan playing like a Beast Possessed

[naico]

You gotta love what Diaw has brought on defense thus far!

[bklynspursfan]

Man would be great for Jack to go off

[MI21]

It's amazing how much better Jackson is at ball-handling now.

[bklynspursfan]

First half highlights here: http://www.nba.com/video/games/spurs/2012/03/25/0021100723_phi_sas_play2.nba/index.html

Fatty's and Manu's Dunks

[TDMVPDPOY]

lets keep them under 80

[loveforthegame]

Can't say enough about the additions of Jackson and Diaw. :tu

[ThePop]

Jackson drives to the basket more than RJ

[bklynspursfan]

Tp

[bbarry]

spurs have forced the sixers into their 3rd most TO game this season (16 so far with 8 minutes left).

:flag:lol

[bklynspursfan]

Jackson gets a little careless with his passing sometimes

[Manu-20]

im loving the spurs D this quater but we need to excute better

[biziofromdowntown]

jacks not so good today

[Spurs Brazil]

Good job by this lineup

[admiralfats]

we are playing ferocious defense. hands everywhere, bodies flying. pretty awesome. been a few times i was surprised we weren't called for fouls but we are scrapping.

[biziofromdowntown]

props to Bonners D

[Nathan89]

Second time Diaw hasn't been ready for a pass from Jackson.

[lefty]

First half highlights here: http://www.nba.com/video/games/spurs/2012/03/25/0021100723_phi_sas_play2.nba/index.html

Fatty's and Manu's Dunks

Thanks :tu

[naico]

Second time Diaw hasn't been ready for a pass from Jackson.

Wasn't a good pass tbh

[mazerrackham]

Man Jack cannot seem to hit wide open 3's last two games. Hopefully that ends soon.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

How did Diaw post those Phoenix numbers if he doesn't like to shoot our take shots?

Not complaining, I like the way he is playing, just can't figure it out

[spurspokesman]

jax looking lax today. but oh well he still balls

[ace3g]

how many teams have won the 3rd game of a B2B2B this season?

[loveforthegame]

I can live with mistakes by Jackson because he's always active and looking to make things happen.

RJ on the other hand would make mistakes just sitting in the corner.

[bklynspursfan]

Diaw is really quick for a pudgy guy

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Great pass from Blair to Parker

[loveforthegame]

Damn. Utah/Atlanta in triple OT.

[ace3g]

alley oop to Kawhi!!!

[bklynspursfan]

Alley oop!!

[Juggity]

Alley oop to leonard!

[loveforthegame]

Oh shit. That was sweet.

[Stump]

I came.

[bbarry]

well damn

76ers only have 2 minutes in over 6 minutes of the 4th. :lmao

[Manu-20]

omg the spurs are playing D like monsters right now hands in everyone face great to see

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Its physically impossible for Philly to win in SA

[Spurs Brazil]

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

Props to Blair. Great game

[hater]

fucking D like a mofo

[spurspokesman]

kaboom guess who stepped in the room

[biziofromdowntown]

i luv this team, our hustle, our D

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Lol at you dunces who bet the under on vbookie

[angelbelow]

Now THIS is a fun game to watch. So many positives coming out of this team.
-Jack continues to play hard despite struggling.
-Bonner playing well all around.
-Blair actually struggling early in the 3rd but turns it out to finish well.

[Spurs Brazil]

how many teams have won the 3rd game of a B2B2B this season?

I just remember Thunder

[jestersmash]

If we missed every shot from now on, Philly would have to score 20 in 6 minutes to win.

[DMC]

omg the spurs are playing D like monsters right now hands in everyone face great to see
Refs swallowed their whistles after the half on both ends. Like everyone else, they just want to get this over with.

[Cry Havoc]

How did Diaw post those Phoenix numbers if he doesn't like to shoot our take shots?

Not complaining, I like the way he is playing, just can't figure it out

http://cdn.unicornbooty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Steve-Nash.jpg

[MmP]

The great thing of Jack and Diaw is that if you see the game, you can see they contribute to better ball playing, help defence and overall in game plays. Something you ll never see in stats but especially Boris i think hes helping but my guess he's a bit rusty, balls are just slipping of his hands but he ll improve as time goes on

[angelbelow]

how many teams have won the 3rd game of a B2B2B this season?

To my knowledge, OKC is one of them.

[TIMMYD!]

WTF Blair hit a jumper

[timtonymanu]

This team is impressive. To play with this much energy on the 3rd game in 3 nights is kind of surprising. Not to mention every game on this B2B2B, one of the Big 3 sat out.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow, what a blowout given the guys who are sitting. Major :tu

I put $50 on us to win the WC at 6.4:1, and $100 on us to win the trophy at 16:1 yesterday. I think we've got a real shot now - so deep, so flexible, and so damn much chemistry, even between guys who've hardly played together. Amazing.

[bklynspursfan]

Wow, we might hold them under 80, and I was hoping for under 90

[Spurminator]

Lol at you dunces who bet the under on vbookie

I thought we'd win a closer game.

:depressed

But I'll take it.

[jestersmash]

Blair hitting that jumper is a double edged sword. I hope he doesn't think he has the green light to take that shot regularly from now on.

[ace3g]

I just remember Thunder

that is what I was thinking; this is really impressive considering our rotations the past 3 games.

[bklynspursfan]

FWIW Miami and OKC have both swept their b2b2b's. Miami played all 3 on the road. We do that next month

[Cry Havoc]

This might be my favorite Spurs team in a long time. Probably since the 05 team. So full of ballers!

[loveforthegame]

The Beast.

[ace3g]

nice screen set by Diaw for Kawhi to back cut, almost worked

[Sense]

Leonard, Diaw, and Jackson have all had open looks but pass it up or try to go for an assist every time.. It's annoying.

[spurspokesman]

leonard is a swell finisher

[Cant_Be_Faded]

http://cdn.unicornbooty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Steve-Nash.jpg

Crofl
Could you have found a gayer pic

But how did nash force him to shoot

[bklynspursfan]

Getting a little annoyed they're scoring so much now

[TDMVPDPOY]

keep them under 80 clowns

[loveforthegame]

Still enough time left. Don't give them hope.

[Cry Havoc]

Crofl
Could you have found a gayer pic

But how did nash force him to shoot

I had a different one originally then changed it to that. :lol

Nash got him a LOT of open buckets and transition layups/dunks. Plus I'm sure Pop didn't tell him to just fire away when we have Parker Manu Tim Tiago Buckets etc...

[Texas_Ranger]

Utah - Atlanta going 4th OT

[bklynspursfan]

Quadruple OT for Hawks/Jazz

[biziofromdowntown]

don't give up now

[Sense]

The Spurs' defense has been great since the additions, I would love to see some stats on that.

[loveforthegame]

Damn. Utah/Atlanta going into a 4th OT.

[ace3g]

Utah, Atlanta going to 4OTs

[bklynspursfan]

Diaw with the hustle

[ace3g]

good job Diaw fighting for the board, forced it off the leg of the 76er

[Juggity]

four overtimes in utah-atlanta? Holy shit

[Thompson]

Tim Duncan -DND- Old

[bklynspursfan]

Under 80 is still alive!

[bklynspursfan]

Dentmon smh

[Spurtacus]

son, you dribble the ball out on the court not out of bounds :lol

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

I know the game is pretty much over, but c'mon Dentmon.

[ace3g]

another positive of having Diaw, if it is a playoff game and team decides to full court press you, Diaw with his dribbling can help break it

[TDomination]

Tim Duncan -DND- Old

HAHAHA, love it

[bklynspursfan]

Green wtf man you moron. Run the clock

[ace3g]

great victory!!!

[Robz4000]

Quality win right here. Great job Spurs.

[TDMVPDPOY]

defensive team my arse, watta joke ass team the 76s

[timtonymanu]

Impressive win :tu

Spurs gave each of the Big 3 a night off in this stretch and still won all 3.

[Reck]

Probably the easiest coasting to a win yet.
