Game Blog: Spurs @ Suns: March 27th 9:00 CT

[angelbelow]

Lol Warrick is getting destroyed out there.

[BanditHiro]

at least their is a benefit from scrubs getting hot eventually they start throwing up shit shots

[jiggy_55]

Diaw has been superb defensively.

[bklynspursfan]

Boris!!

[Spur|n|Austin]

And another French connection.

[ace3g]

Diaw makes the shot!!!

he is definitely looking for his shot more tonight, maybe getting more comfortable

[slick'81]

where r u nash tosb

[Juggity]

Boris, hell yes

[ViceCity84]

up 9

[timvp]

Boris Diaw's fit so far is looking like a poor man's Horry.

I'll definitely take it :tu

[Libri]

no hesitation by Diaw

[bklynspursfan]

Man Diaw is a truckload of a man. But he's looked dam good

[loveforthegame]

Diaw is such a steal. :tu

[Paranoid Pop]

Beethoven doing his thing.

[Sense]

There we go, good defense.. Diaw with a beautiful shot...

[DesignatedT]

Diaw! That's whats up.

[jiggy_55]

Diawwwww jumper!

[boutons_deux]

Conexxion francaise!

[jermaine]

I'm loving Diaw! An where's Blair.

[MmP]

Diaw is great

[DPG21920]

*diaw*diaw*

[Manu-20]

I guess the spurs were wating till the 4th to play D going to be tougher though with the suns starters coming back in

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Diaw J!!!

Tony with a great 4th quarter

[Admidave50]

French connection getting control of the game ;-)

[DMC]

Surprised Gentry went away from the zone.

[timtonymanu]

I'm so impressed with Boris. I didn't expect him to be this great of a fit so fast.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Called it at half time - we've turned up the D in the 4th, now taking control.

No point wasting energy in a wide open game during the first 3 Qs.

[DMC]

I guess the spurs were wating till the 4th to play D going to be tougher though with the suns starters coming back in
They are still getting good looks, just missing shots. Don't mistake that for good defense.

[jestersmash]

I'm with you on that. And when specialists are on the court and open he likes to jack 3s too. Not that I should question Manu, but I've noticed.

:lmao

It's not April 1st yet.

Manu epitomizes the "pass first/good shot to great shot" Spurs philosophy. You have no idea what you're talking about.

[MannyIsGod]

Pretty happy with the unit out there right now.

[TE]

Solid play from Diaw.


Just gotta sustain the defense and rebound the basketball.

[bbarry]

I'm with you on that. And when specialists are on the court and open he likes to jack 3s too. Not that I should question Manu, but I've noticed.

Seems odd but I prefer he jack 3's up every so often (especially with his little step back that he likes to do).

Everytime he gets an open look, I almost always thinks he is gonna miss it, and my hunch is correct about 90% of the time.

It really sucks, too, since you know he's a great 3pt shooter but he simply can't knock them down.

[roycrikside]

Boris Diaw's fit so far is looking like a poor man's Horry.

I'll definitely take it :tu

we won a title in 07 with a poor man Horry, so why not?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

can't wait to see Brown brick his shoots in coming minutes..

[bklynspursfan]

Nice

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm so impressed with Boris. I didn't expect him to be this great of a fit so fast.

Agreed, I thought he'd take a while to be useful, but he fits like an old glove. Props to him.

[Robz4000]

At least the Spurs have a lead. With Nash and Gortat coming back in I expect the Suns to get back into it quickly.

[bklynspursfan]

Diaw again!

[Sense]

Leonard has gotten fouled a few times.

[Fabbs]

Changed channels momentarily. Warriors - Flamers.

Diaw vs Soft Dick. Oh what a change for the good!

[Spur|n|Austin]

Yesssssssssss

[bklynspursfan]

Parker doing his thing baby

[DPG21920]

*diaw*

[Juggity]

Two steals in a row, that's good shit

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We have a couple of extra gears on D. Showing that right now.

[roycrikside]

Chandler did the Spurs a real favor. Turned down open 3 and dribbled into a turnover.

[bklynspursfan]

Diaw to Kawhi! Loving it

[007nites]

What a fucking pass by Diaw

[DPG21920]

Diaw plays with a great pace.

[ace3g]

might have to quote my "breakout game" comment from Diaw

[DatBoyGood]

Leonard with the dagger.

[Arcadian]

Spurs' offense is kicking ass.

[bklynspursfan]

game, set, match

[jiggy_55]

Diaw is an amazing passer honestly! Great assist

[slick'81]

lol flopping bitch nash

[bklynspursfan]

Spurs' offense is kicking ass.

Their defense is creating offense. It's simple

[BanditHiro]

fuck you refs.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Diaw is a good fit on this team.

It's a shame he's higher profile and he and his agent expect big bucks for him to do jack shit on a team that will do jack shit

cuz he definitely has a role on this team

[timtonymanu]

If Pop won't finish games with Tiago/Tim, he has to finish games with Tim/Boris.

I agree with timvp. Boris is like Robert Horry.

[DesignatedT]

Nice to see we can turn up the defense when needed but wish we could sustain it the entire game.

[tmtcsc]

Please tell me Jackson not playing isn't for disciplinary actions. Should we expect more from him tomorrow ?

Sorry, if this has been discussed already.

[Manu-20]

what a flop by nash

[timvp]

Man, when Diaw is in a lineup that allows him to be the fifth option to score, he's deadly.

Re-sign dat fool :smokin

[EVAY]

fuck you refs.

:toast

[easy7]

Diaw is playing his ass off...

[DesignatedT]

Spurs bench +29
Suns bench -29

[slick'81]

bbb diaw is a lateral move well hate him as much as rj

[Spurs Brazil]

Not a good time to sit Tony. I hope he's back after the timeout

[007nites]

Parker, Ginobili, Leonard, Diaw, Timmy will be our best lineup.

[ViceCity84]

Neal playing his way out of the playoff rotation.If he's not gonna hit shots,I rather have Patty cake running the offense.

[jestersmash]

Diaw with a team leading +16 tonight.

[bklynspursfan]

Shannon Brown- Kobe mode from 1st-3rd quarter. Lebron mode in 4th

[timtonymanu]

Please tell me Jackson not playing isn't for disciplinary actions. Should we expect more from him tomorrow ?

Sorry, if this has been discussed already.

Pop is just resting him. Remember Jackson is nearly as old as Tim and Manu.

[100%duncan]

Let's Go Finish 'em

[bklynspursfan]

Let's keep these clowns under 100

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Diaw will leave SA for more money

but it's a shame he isn't lower profile, else we'd have a good chance to resign him

[2centsworth]

Manu makes me nervous.

[Sense]

How many times has Tim watched Nash shoot that shot infront of his face? :lol I mean there's nothing he could ever do about it, pick n roll with Nash is too dangerous.

[bklynspursfan]

beautiful!

[Fireball]

sorry Blair, but Diaw has to take the starting job ... you become the 5th "big" ...

[roycrikside]

Sick pass by Manu. defense thought it was going to Bonner.

[bklynspursfan]

I'd be thrilled if Timmy gets 30 :)

[capek]

Diaw's taken 4 shots tonight? Who does he think he is, Kobe? :rollin

[tmtcsc]

Pop is just resting him. Remember Jackson is nearly as old as Tim and Manu.

Thanks. Our depth is sick. In a good way.

[bklynspursfan]

19-8 this quarter. That's what I'm talking about

[Reck]

LOL A foul on Parker. GTFO

[slick'81]

brown for 3 ft's

[angelbelow]

Duncan has struggled offensively and defensively in the 2nd half, wouldn't mind seeing him sit out tomorrow and get some rest.

[will_spurs]

TP show so far in 4th Q: 8 points,1 assist

[bklynspursfan]

I can't wait for Kawhi to flip and get his first technical

[Robz4000]

Game not over yet. 9 point game after these.

[100%duncan]

Diaw will leave SA for more money

but it's a shame he isn't lower profile, else we'd have a good chance to resign him

Man, as long as we get this :lobt2: this year.

[bklynspursfan]

Duncan has struggled offensively and defensively in the 2nd half, wouldn't mind seeing him sit out tomorrow.

Without Tiago? That's asking for trouble

[z0sa]

Where's sjax

[ace3g]

I get the feeling he will have a breakout game vs the Suns on Tuesday, playing against his former team where he had some good years.

[Crookshanks]

I just noticed that Steve Nash finally has a halfway decent haircut. :lol

[Juggity]

Sweet O-Reb for Duncan. Great effort

[tmtcsc]

This is crazy. We can afford to sit one of the Big 3 every game the rest of the way. I'm not saying we should, but I'm saying we have that flexibility.

[2centsworth]

Bonner per usual

[DPG21920]

Diaw's taken 4 shots tonight? Who does he think he is, Kobe? :rollin

:lol

[reckless05]

10-13 for duncan, not bad old man :)

Brown is playing crazy right now. Why capnt Jack not playing?

[MannyIsGod]

God these Suns announcers are terrible.

[bklynspursfan]

Come on guys wtf

[100%duncan]

keep em below the century mark

[tmtcsc]

Manu throws up some crazy ass shots and passes. I know, I know...news flash.

[2centsworth]

We need someone to make love to pressure

[bklynspursfan]

Bonner!

[timtonymanu]

Bonner, great board.

[bklynspursfan]

Dam Bonner could've had a rebound/3 to seal the game. Shocked he missed.

[MannyIsGod]

Man, Spurs really went cold at the end. Won't hurt them but they missed something like 9 shots in a row.

[DPG21920]

:lmao at that Bonner back breaker attempt

[100%duncan]

why the hell is tony chucking up

[Libri]

Bonner, great board.

and then a shitty shot

[noles1983]

Red rocket wow

[2centsworth]

Bonner is a brick layer when u need him

[Aiko9245]

Where's RJ?

[timvp]

:lmao TP changes two consecutive shots at the rim. The Suns were probably surprised there was someone at the rim actually protecting it.

Ugly finish offensively but the D in the fourth has actually been pretty good.

[DMC]

If anyone ever questions "clutch" again, they need to be shot.

[Crookshanks]

God these Suns announcers are terrible.

I've been watching the game with the sound turned off since before halftime.

[MmP]

Where's Diaw? Leonard? Why is bonner finishing and green?

[jiggy_55]

Bonner brick-fest

[timtonymanu]

Well that shitty offensive possession definitely took a lot of time off the clock.

[Keepin' it real]

Classic clutch 3 by Bonner.

[Juggity]

Suns have only scored 15 this quarter

[will_spurs]

"Offensive rebound by Bonner - that hurts!" :lmao

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Game not over yet. 9 point game after these.

You love to panic, don't you. We've got this game.




Terrible late-4th Q offence (eg. Manu setting up TP for 3!?), but the 4th Q D won the game for us just like I said it would. ;)

[ace3g]

Pop should have left Diaw in

[DPG21920]

Nash was like woah dis guy is fast

[td4mvp21]

Diaw should have stayed in over Bonner.

[noles1983]

Suns can't even win with an out of body experience from shitty brown and spurs shitty 3pt%

[BanditHiro]

hate this part of the game

[100%duncan]

below 100 please?

[DesignatedT]

Defense was so much better in the 4th

[slick'81]

matt bonner- theres the guy i want taking the big shot

[timvp]

Every time Bonner shoots a clutch shot, for a split second I actually think he's going to make it.

[Splits]

Suns can't even win with an out of body experience from shitty brown and spurs shitty 3pt%

We staaaaaccckkkked

[Juggity]

below 100 please?

Nope

[bklynspursfan]

So much for -100

[Robz4000]

You love to panic, don't you. We've got this game.




Terrible late-4th Q offence (eg. Manu setting up TP for 3!?), but the 4th Q D won the game for us just like I said it would. ;)
After that Portland game last year, I'll never take a game for granted.

[DMC]

hate this part of the game
This is the best part of the game, if we're up. The Suns get to feel those French balls slapping against their ass as Tony rhythmically strums their pain with his fingers.

[ace3g]

Diaw can be useful against tall shotblockers like Gasol/Bynum etc, he can attack the basket then pass to a cutting man for a layup/dunk/foul

[loveforthegame]

Parker with clutch fts.

[noles1983]

Spurs 6-27 from 3 lmfao

[Crookshanks]

And the Sun sets in Phoenix!

[Budkin]

Nice to see TP hitting the clutch FTs at the end.

[capek]

[Spurs Brazil]

Great win. Impressive 4th quarter

[bklynspursfan]

Great game. 4th quarter offense was special

[MannyIsGod]

Every time Bonner shoots a clutch shot, for a split second I actually think he's going to make it.

Its cruel. Its like when you are watching a sports movie where you know the team is going to lose but you still hope they somehow win.

[100%duncan]

at least they weren't above 100. lmao winning streak

[timvp]

Great win. The Suns were rolling. The defense was ugly but at least it went from horrible to bad in the fourth quarter.

[timtonymanu]

Great win.

Ugly 3 quarters, but that 4th quarter looked like Spurs basketball.

Mills looked pretty decent in his little stretch. Diaw is a great fit.

[timtonymanu]

Great win.

[slick'81]

good win on the road for our spurs

[easy7]

Great game...

[Reck]

Spurs gave up too much points on that last stretch. Kind of pathetic that they let Brown shit on them too.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs win shooting 22% on 27 3Gs

[DMC]

Yeah, dipshit, read 26 pages before asking a question.

[easy7]

Great game... :flag: :flag: :flag:

[2centsworth]

Tony is freaky good

[Fireball]

Every time Bonner shoots a clutch shot, for a split second I actually think he's going to make it.

Data: "0.68 seconds"

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Twitter says Stephen Jackson threw a fucking chair at Pop's head during a team meeting last night and is suspended indefinitely

is this shit true??

[roycrikside]

Man, Spurs really went cold at the end. Won't hurt them but they missed something like 9 shots in a row.

True, but they were more concerned with running clock than getting good shots. They stopped going to the basket or running any pick-and-rolls.

[EVAY]

Great win for the fourth time in five nights!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Its cruel. Its like when you are watching a sports movie where you know the team is going to lose but you still hope they somehow win.

yeah like hoping Apollo doesn't die when he fights Drago in Rocky IV

[timvp]

Its cruel. Its like when you are watching a sports movie where you know the team is going to lose but you still hope they somehow win.

:lol

I just gotta keep reminding myself that pressure makes love to Matt Bonner.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

After that Portland game last year, I'll never take a game for granted.

So you panic every game because of a 1 in 30 game event? Try reading the rhythm of the game in front of you instead. Every basketball game has a pulse.

We clearly had this game from the moment we turned up the D in the 4th - they couldn't score, so it didn't even matter that we had a 4 minute scoring drought.

[Sense]

All rumors, especially those born from twitter, are unquestionably true.

[FromWayDowntown]

:lol

That's kind. Mostly, it appears to prison rape him.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

wtf is Pop thinking
he could he piss off jackson so soon after he arrived

[loveforthegame]

Good win. Room for improvement but you can see what this team could be once it all fits together. :tu

Will be at the game tomorrow night. Pumped up for it.

[timvp]

Good call, ace3g :tu

[roycrikside]

Spurs 6-27 from 3 lmfao

4th game in 5 nights = no legs for threes. I wouldn't expect them to shoot them too well tomorrow, or most of April, tbh.

Hopefully they'll get their strokes back by the playoffs.

[100%duncan]

Glad to see the D is improving but the offense in the 4th was awful

[crc21209]

Solid win against a team who's been rolling the past 3-4 weeks or so....:tu

[jestersmash]

I saw people in this thread begging the Spurs to keep Phoenix below 100 and thought "there must be a vbookie on this or something."

Nope. This is merely a reflection of how spoiled we've become over the years :lol

Most teams (especially the 9, 10, 11 spots in the West) would be begging for a win and a playoff spot.

A 'W' just isn't enough for us these days :lol

[Budkin]

:lol TP talking to Sean "I'm working on my Sam Cassell shot."

[Robz4000]

So you panic every game because of a 1 in 30 game event? Try reading the rhythm of the game in front of you instead. Every basketball game has a pulse.

We clearly had this game from the moment we turned up the D in the 4th - they couldn't score, so it didn't even matter that we had a 4 minute scoring drought.
All I said was the game wasn't over, there was something like 2 mins left with a 9 point lead. The Suns have the ability to shoot 3s at a high pace and Brown was already hot. I hardly consider that panicking.

[SpursRock20]

This Spurs team continues to amaze me! If they continue to find ways to win when their best offensive weapon, the 3-ball, is not falling I begin to have even higher hopes for a championship run.

I also like how Manu is rounding into form, Tim is looking spry, and Tony continues to "make love to pressure".

[timvp]

Parker on Diaw: "He's a great passer -- sometimes we gotta scream at him to shoot the ball -- but he's doing great."

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:lol

I just gotta keep reminding myself that pressure makes love to Matt Bonner.

Do you think there's any hope Pop will go to Jax/Diaw instead in the playoffs? Naw, I'm wishing for the impossible, aren't I? :lol

[roycrikside]

:lol

I just gotta keep reminding myself that pressure makes love to Matt Bonner.

I cling to the hope of Memphis game 1. But if he falters Pop will have a shorter rope now that there are some other options.

Just sat for rest

[ffadicted]

Didn't catch the game... why no SJax?

[Solid D]

As hot as the Suns were tonight, their extra "tire change" did-them-in tonight. They sat Nash 1 1/2 - 2 minutes too long in the 4th.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Didn't catch the game... why no SJax?

per jeff mcdonald:

@jeffMcdonald No Jackson tonight after he allegedly threw chair at Coach Pop's face following last night's team meeting. Details to come soon

[capek]

Yeah, dipshit, read 26 pages before asking a question.

Or just one page since there's a post about it every dozen posts, fuckwad

[ace3g]

Diaw with a +14 (highest of the game) tonight: Spurs had the lead prior to Diaw going to the bench after 6 min in the 1st half; after finally coming back into the game late 3rd quarter, most of the 4th for 12 minutes, Spurs regained and held the lead. Really impressed with his post defense tonight, although he still has trouble when he is at a stand still in the paint and has to slide back to his man who receives a pass (received a couple of fouls in those type of defensive scenarios).

[Manu20]

Parker post game interviewed with Sean and Land regarding Boris...."He is playing great, he is a great passer but sometimes we scream at him to take the open shots" lol

[SpursRock20]

Parker on Diaw: "He's a great passer -- sometimes we gotta scream at him to shoot the ball -- but he's doing great."

Phoenix announcers saw Duncan telling Diaw to "shoot the ball!" after he passed to Leonard for the jam.

[timtonymanu]

per jeff mcdonald:

@jeffMcdonald No Jackson tonight after he allegedly threw chair at Coach Pop's face following last night's team meeting. Details to come soon

No shit. That wasn't a troll tweet. Uh oh.

Edit: Haha

[TMTTRIO]

I also like how Manu is rounding into form

I don't know about that. He still has flashes of him coming back into form but he's still not right. I noticed he's never getting to the FT line anymore (I don't know how much of it is from the refs not calling anything or if it's because Manu's just chucking up shots and not driving anymore.)

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

All I said was the game wasn't over, there was something like 2 mins left with a 9 point lead. The Suns have the ability to shoot 3s at a high pace and Brown was already hot. I hardly consider that panicking.

No, actually, you said "we are done" with about 3 min to go in the third quarter. I picked you up on it at the time. You do it every game whenever we have a stretch of poor play.

Also, by the fourth quarter Brown was not hot. He was hot in the first and second quarters, did very little in the second half. That's the kind of thing I'm referring to when I say read the pulse of the game.

[TE]

I hope Tiago plays tomorrow.

[DesignatedT]

per jeff mcdonald:

@jeffMcdonald No Jackson tonight after he allegedly threw chair at Coach Pop's face following last night's team meeting. Details to come soon

:lol

[roycrikside]

Spurs played better defense than it seemed, even in the first half. Suns only 14 assists on 41 made field goals. That's a lot of contested isos.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Who gives a shit. The defense in the 4th quarter was gold and that's all that matters because defense wins championships. We pulled that shit ALL THE TIME in years like 2003, even in the playoffs, where our offense got stagnant late but we grinded out ball games for wins consistently anyway because of our defense.

Well said. This was exactly that kind of game - we were lazy on D for three Qs then turned it up when it mattered and stopped them scoring. That is exactly how we won a lot of games during our heyday.

[timtonymanu]

Pretty underwhelming game overall. The crowd wasn't as intense as they usually are when the Spurs visit. Only Manu got booed if I recall.

[ElNono]

We win!

[roycrikside]

I don't know about that. He still has flashes of him coming back into form but he's still not right. I noticed he's never getting to the FT line anymore (I don't know how much of it is from the refs not calling anything or if it's because Manu's just chucking up shots and not driving anymore.)

Drove plenty last game. Didn't get any calls. I think he'll have to play a few more games before refs remember, "Oh yeah, this guy's pretty good, we should give him some calls."

[SpursRock20]

I don't know about that. He still has flashes of him coming back into form but he's still not right. I noticed he's never getting to the FT line anymore (I don't know how much of it is from the refs not calling anything or if it's because Manu's just chucking up shots and not driving anymore.)

I think he is just being a bit too passive. It is not showing in his assist totals but I can definitely tell he is trying to set up others first. You are right, he still is not quite there, but I think he is progressing well. I also think he is building a bit of chemistry with Diaw.

[DesignatedT]

Manus shot is looking a lot better. Mainly because he's finally getting his legs back. It's very nice to see. As for getting to the line, He will be his fearless self once the games start to matter.

[roycrikside]

Well said. This was exactly that kind of game - we were lazy on D for three Qs then turned it up when it mattered and stopped them scoring. That is exactly how we won a lot of games during our heyday.

I didn't say the shotclock thing to criticize the team. I was just explaining why they finished 0-of-9. They were playing clockball and missed some threes.

[crc21209]

Pretty underwhelming game overall. The crowd wasn't as intense as they usually are when the Spurs visit. Only Manu got booed if I recall.

I think that's also because their team isnt what they use to be as well....

Man I hate losing to the Spurs..they had a great game plan and it worked.. Have to put this loss behind us and get ready for the clippers

Is there a player who has fit into the spurs more seamlessly than Boris Diaw? Wow....

but he did get 4 o rebounds tonight

Is there a player who has fit into the spurs more seamlessly than Boris Diaw? Wow....

he made it

[Robz4000]

No, actually, you said "we are done" with about 3 min to go in the third quarter. I picked you up on it at the time. You do it every game whenever we have a stretch of poor play.
At the time the Spurs were stalled offensively and couldn't play any D worth a damn. They had scored 2 points while the Suns had scored 12 or 14. I also posted that about 5 mins into the half. I also only ever recall posting something like that maybe 3 or 4 other games, and I'm also not one of the only ones to do it. Call it GNSF, but I tend to get passionate during the game and get pessimistic at times when the Spurs execute poorly.


Also, by the fourth quarter Brown was not hot. He was hot in the first and second quarters, did very little in the second half. That's the kind of thing I'm referring to when I say read the pulse of the game.
Brown was a good part of that run, where he scored 5 straight off of the same screens Green had been falling for all game. He cooled off after I posted and the Spurs began to settle into their rhythm. The Spurs didn't start playing good D until the 4th. Yes by the time the 4th was winding down the Suns had cooled off, but there have been times this season where either the Spurs or the Suns' opponents have taken their foot of the gas and there has been a run. Best just to play a full 48 mins than stop a bit beforehand.
