[Nathan89]

I'm going to miss the game tonight. I'd greatly appreciate if someone PM me the entire game. A link to youtube would be great. Thanks.

School on Wednesday night sucks. Seems like Spurs always have a game on Wednesday.

Why don't you tell us how you really feel?

[Mugen]

Shit piss fuck cuпt cocksucker motherfucker tits fart turd and twat!!!!!



How's your mom?

[sehui]

I want the Lakers to be pulverized. Hopefully Pop's been giving all the wrong info to Brown, so we can own them.

[xtremesteven33]

I'm really eager to see how splitter and diaw guard the Lakers bigs. This game is a HUGE measuring stick.


FTL.

[TDomination]

I don't feel the same energy as I would if Kobe was playing. I wish he was, oh well.

We still better beat the crap out of them.

[ace3g]

#Spurs guard @GNeal14 has gastroenteritis, won't play vs. Lakers tonight

[ace3g]

lol NBATV is out of the loop, they just reported Big 3 isn't playing tonight vs Lakers

[loveforthegame]

Too bad for Neal but at least it's not another injury.

Oh yeah. FTL.

[TDomination]

:lol seriously?

Jeff McDonald ‏ @JMcDonald_SAEN


Manu Ginobili needs eight points to reach 10,000 for his career. He would be fifth Spur to hit that mark. Two of them are on the team now

jDRDObJJ7gI

[NRHector]

Spurs got this :flag:

[spursince#99]

I'm still excited with or without Kobe. I'm just excited when we play the Lakers period. FTL. Go Spurs Go.

[DontStopBelieving]

Any word on whos starting between Blair and Diaw today?

[emanueldavidginobili]

Without Neal watch out for Patty to get some minutes

[Manu-20]

pumped up for this game even without kobe just intrsted in seeing if Tiago gets playing time with timmy for some stretches during the game

[Spurs da champs]

pumped up for this game even without kobe just intrsted in seeing if Tiago gets playing time with timmy for some stretches during the game

Something tells Pop won't be stupid this time but I've been wrong before.

[spursince#99]

He was more durable

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

Is there a game feed where I don't have to listen to Sean Elliott?



Also, congrats on the win, in advance.

[ViceCity84]

Splitter Neal commercial.

[spursince#99]

109-96

[Spurs da champs]

Yeah Blair is back in the starting lineup!

[bklynspursfan]

I hate that Blair is starting smh

[Dex]

Blair back in the starting lineup.

[timtonymanu]

Ehh Blair starting.

[urunobili]

We should have a vBookie on Ebanks having a career night...

[TheSkeptic]

Blair...

[timvp]

Too many kaiser fans.

[Death In June]

Always hate home games against the lakers. The arena is always pathetic.

[bklynspursfan]

Doesnt' Timmy usually guard Bynum?

[hooperflash]

f*ck you Blair -__-

[Spurs da champs]

Doesnt' Timmy usually guard Bynum?

Yes.

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN Blair

[DesignatedT]

blair sucks.

[loveforthegame]

Great start.

[Spurs da champs]

blair sucks.

but he always plays great against the Lakers!

[bklynspursfan]

This game will be won by our bench I can tell already. If it's won

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Hearing the Lakers fans is disgusting.... Come on Spur fans!

[urunobili]

Laker fans louder again :depressed

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck Blair

[bklynspursfan]

This is NOT a good matchup for Blair SMFH

[Spurs da champs]

Hearing the Lakers fans is disgusting.... Come on Spur fans!
God it was worse when the bulls were here.
And again Timmy can't box them both out at once!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice drive Danny And 1

[GSH]

Bynum was in the paint for 8 seconds on that last play. He never guarded anyone.

[007nites]

There's the problem

[mingus]

Why is our worst big starting?

[urunobili]

and1 Danny!

[Spurs Brazil]

Good play Green

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice pass Danny :wow

[emanueldavidginobili]

there is no way in HELL Blair can hang with Bynum or Pau

[loveforthegame]

Nice to see guys like Green and Leonard getting to the basket.

[Paranoid Pop]

Lol at anyone who predicted a blowout, we're getting bullied.

[TheSkeptic]

Why is our worst big starting?

Because normally Tim can cover for him?

[Kuestmaster]

blair sucks

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

greenobili!!

[Robz4000]

Green carrying the Spurs right now

[bklynspursfan]

Man if Green could be this consistent on the road.......

[TheSkeptic]

This hasn't been nearly as bad as I was expecting though...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Green 333333333333333333

[urunobili]

Danny!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Green 33333333

[$pursDynasty]

always worry about size mismatch against lakers but Dejuan has gotten a few boards already

[timtonymanu]

Green playing well so far :tu

[mingus]

Because normally Tim can cover for him?

normally in the regular season, when most of the frontcourts that we play against suck. not normally in the playoffs.

[spursince#99]

Green killing this Ebanks scrub

[bklynspursfan]

Pop seriously get Blair the F out man

[Spurs Brazil]

I'm happy Bynum is not getting the ball

[Kuestmaster]

get the damn rebound!

[Spurs da champs]

Again Tim can't box them both out!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

blair r u srs..

[bklynspursfan]

World Peace is the size of our f*cking center. Get him out of there man

[TheSkeptic]

I think it's time for a sub...

[spursince#99]

THAT was SO uninspiring

[loveforthegame]

So disappointing. Damn.

[Kuestmaster]

c'mon spurs fans don't let lakers fags to outloud you...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Jesus Christ I'm hearing boos for Ginobili

[bklynspursfan]

Manu in before Splitter or Diaw. Come the fuck on man

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck

[Richie]

Blair given up 2 off. boards and taken 2 bad shots so far

[bklynspursfan]

Timmy you dummy, pay attention when you outlet

[jermaine]

It's gone be a long game!

[Paranoid Pop]

Frontline is getting owned as expected.

[timtonymanu]

Shitty game from everybody except Green.

[Kuestmaster]

I fucking hate lakers bandwagonists... they are everywhere

[ElNono]

Tony has gastroenteritis too?

[DesignatedT]

i can already tell that these bigs are too much for us. no bueno

[Robz4000]

Not liking what I'm seeing so far at all.

[ViceCity84]

Blair is useless vs Lakers
He had one game fluke vs LA in Dec 2010 in SA

[Spurs Brazil]

After 6 minutes

Blair is a HUGE liability against LA. HUGE

Tony must wake up

[TheSkeptic]

It's gone be a long game!

Have faith. Our bench is better than theirs.

[DJ Mbenga]

Blair's fronting is coming back to haunt them on rebounding

[emanueldavidginobili]

I can already tell from the first 10 seconds ive seen Manu, that he will be active and energized tonight

[Spurs da champs]

I know this is only the 1st quarter but c'mon ElNono you're just plain ignorant if you don't think they're size is gonna be a problem.

[mingus]

I want Mills at center

[DAF86]

Great perimetral vision by Duncan there :tu

[timvp]

Got damn I hate this matchup. The Lakers just play volleyball above the rim and TD and TP have no confidence to score on the other end against that size.

If it wasn't for Green, the Spurs would be down double digits already.

[bklynspursfan]

Blair has no business in this game. I'm hoping it's one of those games Pop sits him the rest of the half now, cause he is a huge handicap for us out there.

[Splits]

Against a shorthanded bench like the Fakers, starters keep it close, bench blows it open.

[TMTTRIO]

Manu should sit out tonight if Pop's going to rest him on back to backs.

[loveforthegame]

Shocking that Blair can't get a thing going against the Lakers.

Duncan doesn't look much better either.

[spursince#99]

This shit CRAY homie

[emanueldavidginobili]

Blair can not play alot of minutes vs la!!! He just cant

[ElNono]

I know this is only the 1st quarter but c'mon ElNono you're just plain ignorant if you don't think they're size is gonna be a problem.

They even haven't posted Bynum yet... and there's no fix for Tony playing like a pussy

[007nites]

Blairs too little

[ace3g]

time to bring in the 2nd starting line up

[DAF86]

Pop loves to match smallball with smallball. Why the fuck doesn't he do the same with size?

[NASpurs]

Tony has gastroenteritis too?

I think it's called "vaginatis" what he has.

[bklynspursfan]

Bonner off the bench before splitter or diaw?????????

[$pursDynasty]

Bynum is so massive he is boarding the heck out of us.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bonner in.... I guess that's better :(

[Spurs Brazil]

Bynum has 7rebs already

[mystargtr34]

Lol beaners

[loveforthegame]

Of course we answer with Bonner.

[Kuestmaster]

Bonner? Well, this isn't gonna be much better

[Spurs da champs]

Yes Bonner is in!

[timtonymanu]

:lol Bonner

:lol Pop

[emanueldavidginobili]

We actually need Bonner out there to spread the court

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bonner 3333333333333333333333333

[DJ Mbenga]

they are just zoning Bynum.

[$pursDynasty]

Got damn I hate this matchup. The Lakers just play volleyball above the rim and TD and TP have no confidence to score on the other end against that size.

If it wasn't for Green, the Spurs would be down double digits already.

I do hate that because it does seem that TD and TP's games/confidence suffers against the Lakers and it's NOT just because of LA's defense.

[Duncan2177]

Why does Pop start Blair? It is so fucking retarded

[ElNono]

Just gotta play our game...

[NASpurs]

Bonner on Bynum?! :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

Tim could really use some help on the glass man

[Kuestmaster]

someone help Timmy in the rebounds. PLEASE

[spursince#99]

we HAVE to get in transition against their size

[loveforthegame]

Green is playing inspired basketball right now. :tu

[Dex]

Towel wave is in full effect!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bonner 3333333333333333333333333


Times 2

[hooperflash]

leggo Bonner I guess haha

[ace3g]

maybe now that Bonner finally passed Finley for career 3s, he can shoot with less pressure...

[Quiet Strength]

Bonner with a hot hand

[DJ Mbenga]

opponents last 2 games 23 for 44. Yup

[DesignatedT]

bonner>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>blair

[Spurs da champs]

Damn it pisses me off seeing Splitter on the bench in this match up.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 3333333333333333333

[$pursDynasty]

Ginger!!!!!

[ElNono]

MWP is a 30% 3 point shooter... he knocked two already, smh

[007nites]

Bonner!

[loveforthegame]

If Bonner would only show up against teams like this all the time.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

TP sucking ass

[EVAY]

Well our big three have not set any fires so far but we are still doing okay.

We can take it as the game goes on.

[TheSkeptic]

This really hasn't been the beatdown I was hoping for.

[loveforthegame]

Parker laying a big egg. Going to be a tough night tomorrow too.

[Paranoid Pop]

Like Bonner could guard Gasol.

[Quiet Strength]

Damn it pisses me off seeing Splitter on the bench in this match up.

Me too. He would help duncan alot more than bonner and blair combined.

[bklynspursfan]

Right now Bonner/Green are keeping us in the game

[timtonymanu]

Wake up TP

[DJ Mbenga]

they finally made hem pay for Bonner. Looked like manu git hit by a sniper on the last one

[timvp]

So if not for some fluke Bonner threes and some random good play by Green, the Spurs would be getting dominated. Damn, this is an ugly start.

[EVAY]

Tony has gastroenteritis too?

What took you so long?:lol

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Does World Peace normally shoot this well from 3? Or is he just being a faggot?

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN Tony, awful start. Wake up and be aggressive

[DesignatedT]

gasol shot an 18 footer. he would have made that shot over blair also.

[Dex]

Yeahhh, our lack of size is suddenly starting to look like a problem again.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bynum on pace for 40 rebounds..

[Kuestmaster]

both bynum and gasol play near the paint. please put splitter with duncan pop. they are our two best post defenders

[bklynspursfan]

I'm fine with Parker playing like this and we win, only if it means he goes off tomorrow

[DesignatedT]

bonners 3s are as much a fluke as artests were.

[loveforthegame]

Bynum has as many rebounds as our entire team. Awesome.

[MmP]

stop whining people
it's just started.

[Reck]

FUCK you Parker

Go take your meds.

[ElNono]

Why did Pop change all his rotations now?

[spursince#99]

like TP can really operate in the lane with their size. Get real you guys.

[Spurs da champs]

both bynum and gasol play near the paint. please put splitter with duncan pop. they are our two best post defenders

They're the only one's capable of defending the post!

[Knoxxx]

Where's the love wow rough crowd in here.

[Josepatches_]

I can't blame Bonner or Blair.They do what they can. But they can't guard Gasol or Bynum.

[Ice009]

Do the Spurs shit their pants when they play the Lakers? Pathetic show of toughness, getting bullied a bit by their bigs.

If the Lakers aren't tired, they should be good in the playoffs. I don't know why people keep saying anyone can knock them out.

Anyway, I hate the rotations from Pop.

Horrible stuff.

[bklynspursfan]

At least Manu was aggresssive

[DJ Mbenga]

troy Murphy is our less effective bonner

[loveforthegame]

The time off did our big 3 a world of good.

[Spurs da champs]

At least Manu was aggresssive

Gotta admire that despite all his injuries he always plays aggressive, cant say the same for Tony.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bonner floaters!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Paranoid Pop]

We can't drive, we can't grab rebounds. Checkmate so far.

[GSH]

gasol shot an 18 footer. he would have made that shot over blair also.

They had to re-post Gasol on that play, because Bonner did decent work on him. And at least Bonner didn't let him re-post closer to the basket.

[Russ]

Bynum 10 rebounds in the 1st quarter?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol

[bklynspursfan]

Mills wtf are you doing

[Spurs da champs]

Fucking Patty Mills! Damn chucker!

[spursince#99]

welp now all we can hope is that we don't see L.A in the playoffs

[Knoxxx]

Keep the faith remember the Fakers have NO depth. They will tire.

[Texas_Ranger]

Hope someone sees that Jackson out there.

[Russ]

This looks like playoff basketball (for better or worse). :(

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Jackson 333333333333333333333333

[bklynspursfan]

This is a joke. They have to wake up in the 2nd quarter, wtf is the point of resting the starters just for them to play like this

[DJ Mbenga]

the Lakers can't buy a miss from their opponents 3

[EVAY]

Tim has two buckets and one rebound. Tony has no buckets and 4 assists. You know that they will pick up before the end of the game. Give them a little time.

My main worry is rebounding. No answer for it.

[TheSkeptic]

Win or lose this game, I want a new starting line-up.

[Paranoid Pop]

Keep the faith remember the Fakers have NO depth. They will tire.

Winning with the bench would be fools gold. We're getting spanked, we can only shoot 3s and pray.

[Spurs da champs]

Solid D right there.

[Russ]

Splitter nice D on Bynum!!!!!!

(Better take him out.)

[timvp]

Splitter with some soft defense on Bynum.

[DesignatedT]

Bynums fuckin everybody up. Tim and Tiago included.

[ElNono]

Lot of game left... but right now our problem is offense... we're not even trying going inside... the only time Green went, he had an and1

[007nites]

Not showing enough toughness

[DJ Mbenga]

Bonner vs Murphy. My goodness what crap

[$pursDynasty]

Bynum is so tall and we are so short, which makes him and Kobe a nightmare matchup. we have to find a way to get him off the boards or put some fouls on him.

[bklynspursfan]

They have to gain the momentum this quarter. Especially if Bynum starts out on the bench

[emanueldavidginobili]

Dude Bynum is so BIG

[spurspokesman]

losing to a kobe less lakers lol. Lets get it together spurs

[loveforthegame]

Could be worse I guess.

[timtonymanu]

What an uninspiring start.

Did we get Richard Jefferson back on the team or something? They played like he was still on the roster.

[Paranoid Pop]

Lot of game left... but right now our problem is offense... we're not even trying going inside... the only time Green went, he had an and1

TP and Manu got rejected.

[Reck]

Bynum will go for 50 points tonight.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bad start. Lakers length a problem on both ends

[ElNono]

Can you image how good these Lakers would be if they would go to Drew every other possession?

[Spurs da champs]

Bonner vs Murphy. My goodness what crap

I'd take Murphy any day over Bonner.

[ElNono]

TP and Manu got rejected.

I remember TP... Manu missed a floater. You have to keep going

[Ice009]

I do hate that because it does seem that TD and TP's games/confidence suffers against the Lakers and it's NOT just because of LA's defense.

Very true.

Since game 3 2004 playoffs, Tony Parker seems to play like a pussy at times against the Lakers. Tim, only the last couple of seasons has he struggled against them because he has no help.

Anyway, I don't like what I am seeing at all. I called for Splitter and tall ball, but Pop has yet again been a total dickhead and ignored it.

[Russ]

Splitter with some soft defense on Bynum.

His bod was right into Bynum (maybe his hands weren't that high, but I take a nice lean-in on a bully like that anytime).

[EVAY]

First quarter...nobody on our team looked good except Green and a little from Bonner.

they know this is a big game. Our guys will sort it out...but our rebounding HAS to improve and I don't see how that is going to happen. They are getting three or four shots per possession.

[bklynspursfan]

Bynum on the bench. Time to make a run

[007nites]

Bynum is just so big and lengthy. Nothing you can really do.

[Quiet Strength]

Bynum will go for 50 points tonight.

and 50 boards

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

Spurs will jump out to a big lead with Bynum on bench. The Lakers' white lineup is about to come out in full force

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol Artest again

[bklynspursfan]

Wow Artest is hitting 3's we might be fucked
