Time for the bench to do work.

[NASpurs]

Sean Cunningham (http://twitter.com/News10Sean): No Tim Duncan tonight for the San Antonio Spurs who wrap up a back-to-back-to-back set in Sacramento tonight #nbakings (http://twitter.com/search?q=%23nbakings) #Spurs (http://twitter.com/search?q=%23Spurs) 1 minute ago (http://twitter.com/News10Sean/statuses/192780846493732864)

[NASpurs]

McDonald out scooped yet again by someone from another team.

[Robz4000]

If Tony and Manu are playing, they should be able to pull out the victory.

[Josepatches_]

I hope so

[ace3g]

Jeff McDonald ‏ @JMcDonald_SAEN

Spurs vying to become first team to sweep pair of back-to-back-to-backs this season.

Tim Duncan is the only player out tonight for the Spurs tonight in SAC. Boris Diaw and DeJuan Blair will be the starting front court.

[Ice009]

Why can't Splitter start?

Surprised that Manu is playing.

[timtonymanu]

I thought Tony and Manu would sit. Oh well, gives us a chance to continue our win streak.

Hopefully this is just a repeat of the Warriors game so Tony and Manu can sit in the 2nd half, but this may be a tough game.

[CGD]

Gotta put this one away early! Young teams become disinterested quickly.

[roycrikside]

I love this. Pop going for the win. Maybe he's just snowing the media and HCA matters to him after all? Besides, the last two times we sat all three, it halted momentum and the team took a while to recover (witness the pasting the Lakers gave us after we lost to Utah).

Keep the momentum going, try to win every game, get HCA over Miami.

[ace3g]

Sam Amick


Spurs coach Gregg Popovich can be one of the best quotes in the biz when he wants to be, & today was one of those days. He deemed this the best season yet for PG Tony Parker: "This is his best year. At the offensive end, he's always been able to score. But he's also distributed the ball better than he ever has before and involved other people, so he's done both...At the same time, he's played his best year of defense and his leadership and understanding on the court are his best thus far."

[roycrikside]

So much for getting help from the Raptors against a Wade-less, Bosh-less Heat. Oh well, if the Spurs, Suns, Lakers and Nuggets all win, it'd still be a great night.

[wut]

oddly this is a game Spurs really need to win so they can have a lead big enough to strategically throw games in the name of resting players.

[TheSkeptic]

McDonald...

[crc21209]

TP and Manu playing? I like it. Keep going for the W's....:tu

[Mugen]

Dunno if i like Manu playing tonight. I thought we coulda won with just TP playing. But oh well, lets put it away early.

[Robz4000]

Keep in mind the Kings nearly beat the Spurs at full strength a few weeks ago, and did beat the Spurs at the AT&T center. They are a matchup issue, and on 3 days of rest to boot. This very well could be a loss even with TP and Manu playing.

[Dex]

I'm actually okay with Manu playing. He still doesn't seem to quite be back at 100%...not sure if he's just coasting, not quite in playing shape, or just getting old. However, as long as he can stay healthy, he could probably use the run to try to find his rhythm.

Unless Tony can play nearly flawless basketball like he did last night every game in the playoffs, I'm not sure how far the Spurs will be able to go with Manu not playing like Manu.

[DAF86]

Help me out here. We want the Clips to lose right?

[Mugen]

I think Manu's been settling a lot for 3s since his last return from injury, particularly against scrub teams. Prob by design in an effort to minimize the injury risk. He went hard to the rim against LA and Memphis so I think it's just a matter of him saving it for the playoffs.

[EVAY]

oddly this is a game Spurs really need to win so they can have a lead big enough to strategically throw games in the name of resting players.

I think that this is why both Tony and Manu are playing. Because there are a couple of other games that we might really have trouble with and may lose even if they try to avoid losing.

So we need this tonight.

[Robz4000]

Help me out here. We want the Clips to lose right?
Yes. Keep the Lakers in that 3 seed with the Spurs maintaining the 1 seed.

[Mugen]

Help me out here. We want the Clips to lose right?

Clipper loss and a laker win pretty much seals the deal for the lakers getting the 3rd.

You should be rooting for the Spurs/PHX/Lakers/Denver to win tonight

[CGD]

Help me out here. We want the Clips to lose right?

Yeah, or at least that the lakers win tonight to keep the status quo.

[DAF86]

I just can't root for LA to win.

[CGD]

Though to be honest a second round match up with the grizz is less than ideal also so I frankly don't care. I'd rather have okc before lal or grz. Better match ups.

[Mugen]

I just can't root for LA to win.

Me neither. Just don't watch.

[Uriel]

Help me out here. We want the Clips to lose right?

Yup. Funny how I was cheering so hard for them just the other day. :lol

[crc21209]

Anybody have a Spurs feed link? PM me if you can please. :tu I found a link but it's the Kings feed...

[DAF86]

The chance of LAL getting to 5th seed is just too strong for me to ingore, even if they end in the same side of the bracket with the Spurs.

[Dex]

That goddamn All That Cash commercial is quickly reaching Cute Neighbor Sarah status.

[Splits]

I just can't root for LA to win.

I hope they lose, they have to play us and OKC still. 4 game skid right before the playoffs start, they very well could self-destruct in the first round against MEM.

[Robz4000]

Tbh you don't even have to root for LA to win, GS will just tank the fuck out of it so they might as well not even play it.

[Tp9gospursgo]

That goddamn All That Cash commercial is quickly reaching Cute Neighbor Sarah status.

Is it sad that i know all the words for both of those commercials? :depressed

[Robz4000]

Spurs comin out flat. Not a good sign.

[timtonymanu]

Looking flat like expected.

[Russ]

Looks like the Spurs wanna win this game. (Based on Pop's personnel and in-game decisions.)

Now, can they actually do it????????

[Uriel]

Wow, we look lifeless.

[ViceCity84]

If they get behind too much,just rest Parker and Manu and try to win it with the bench,but Kings are tough matchup.They have 2 solid bigs.Always a problem.

[timtonymanu]

There we go.

[Keepin' it real]

Dish Network... Where's the game???

[ViceCity84]

Suns up 13 on Thunder

[ViceCity84]

Our schedule is tougher than expected
@Sac and @ Pho 1 game vs LAL
Our last game vs GSW.I doubt anyone plays.
I wish we played GSW and @Pho last game.

[Brazil]

BTW we want Dallas to win right ?

[Josh810]

Dish Network... Where's the game???Good question!!! 9517 according to Spurs.com but it's still saying check back later! This is annoying.

[spursfanincolorado]

Thunder roll and only down 4

[Trainwreck2100]

why did sean luck the faker just call manu a queen?

[Keepin' it real]

Wow, game's not in HD. First time all season.

[Manu-20]

great to see manu coming into form with the playoffs coming soon

[Keepin' it real]

Good question!!! 9517 according to Spurs.com but it's still saying check back later! This is annoying.

Try the non HD channel.

[Josh810]

Wow, game's not in HD. First time all season.

Oh, no wonder. Lol.

[maverick1948]

dish network... Where's the game???


447

[Manu-20]

what a bs call its spurs ball

[BanditHiro]

fissiks fucking refs.

[timtonymanu]

Someone needs to guard Thornton.

[maverick1948]

Wow, game's not in HD. First time all season.

447 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sitting here watching it.

[spursfanincolorado]

Thunder up 2 - This may be a trap game

[100%duncan]

Bench have been great

[SpursIndonesia]

why on earth DeMarcus Cousins keep shooting from midrange while he has size & athleticism advantage down low right now ???

[Libri]

dammit

[100%duncan]

C'mon Tiago, you won't earn playing time with those poor def rebounding

[roycrikside]

Fucking getting crushed on the boards. Bonner and Splitter playing soft tonight.

[ViceCity84]

Get a fucking rebound

[Reck]

Bonner is a true abomination.

[100%duncan]

why on earth DeMarcus Cousins keep shooting from midrange while he has size & athleticism advantage down low right now ???

There is no "I" in "team", but there is in "brain".

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Oh well, pretty much even so far.

[DesignatedT]

This will be close throughout but the Spurs will pull away in the 4th

[100%duncan]

After the sloppy start, it was a good quarter. I'd take it.

[100%duncan]

Is it me or Sean sounds bored?

[maverick1948]

Question for someone to answer.

If you were in line for a large number of ping pong balls for the lottery, why would you want to win a game that will make you fall as many as 3 or 4 places in the standings?

All the teams just above the Kings are tanking, this means the Kings could end up with the 8 or 9 pick instead of the 4.

[Keepin' it real]

447 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sitting here watching it.

Cool its on now. Was SD only in first qtr. Thanks.

[100%duncan]

Bonner wtf

[PingPong]

Bonner won't hit the shots. Too much pressure, Kings are just one point behind.

:lol

[ace3g]

Diaw quota of going 1/1 from 3

[Manu-20]

wtf are the refs on how was that a foul on us

[PingPong]

Scrub unit.

[100%duncan]

:lmao Sean

[SpursIndonesia]

That should seal Blair fate as bench warmer in the playoff, darn !!

[Brazil]

Blair already 3 PFs

[100%duncan]

Jax got bailed out there

[timtonymanu]

We might as well throw this game.

Sacto really wants this apparently and there's no point in playing Manu and Tony so many minutes in a meaningless game.

[DAF86]

Great fucking line-up Pop. Your three best playmakers on the bench at the same time.

[Crookshanks]

Just got home from work - so disappointed that I have to listen to the Kings announcers tonight. I've hardly got to hear Sean and Bill all season. :depressed

[Uriel]

Wow, the Kings can score.

Or does our defense just suck? :depressed

[Brazil]

wtf was that Jax?

[Crookshanks]

We might as well throw this game.

Sacto really wants this apparently and there's no point in playing Manu and Tony so many minutes in a meaningless game.

Why do the Kings want to win so badly? It doesn't help them at all. Is it just pride because they're playing the Spurs?

[Robz4000]

Wow, the Kings can score.

Or does our defense just suck? :depressed
Since the ASG they've been scoring like 112 points a game or something ridiculous like that. They play horrible D, but so far tonight it doesn't look too bad outside of all their fouling.

[roycrikside]

Some shitty calls and offense gone to hell without TP or Manu on the floor. Pretty much done with the Mills honeymoon I think. He can't do anything on the floor. Jackson doesn't have any life in his legs either, and nobody protecting the paint. Bonner pretty useless out there too. TP, Manu and Splitter can't win the game by themselves. They need a fourth or fifth guy to chip in.

[Robz4000]

Why do the Kings want to win so badly? It doesn't help them at all. Is it just pride because they're playing the Spurs?
They prolly won't be in Sacramento next season so they're playing hard for the fans.

[timtonymanu]

Why do the Kings want to win so badly? It doesn't help them at all. Is it just pride because they're playing the Spurs?

Yeah and their fans need some hope after the arena deal fell through and with Tim not out there, they might as well take advantage.

[Uriel]

We might as well throw this game.

Sacto really wants this apparently and there's no point in playing Manu and Tony so many minutes in a meaningless game.

Winning this game goes a long way to ensuring we keep the 1 seed and avoid the Lakers in the 2nd round. If we lose today and OKC wins, the Thunder will reclaim the top spot in the West.

A win against the Kings counts the same as a win against the Lakers in the standings.

[roycrikside]

Nice pass from Bonner. It actually worked out better for green that he dropped the ball.

[100%duncan]

We might as well throw this game.

Sacto really wants this apparently and there's no point in playing Manu and Tony so many minutes in a meaningless game.

No offense, but why would you want to give this game up? Every game is important so we can avoid LAL in the second round.

[PingPong]

that was funnny..

[ViceCity84]

Mavs beat Rockets.

[Ice009]

Bonner has been trying, but the guy just can't score at all the last month or so.

Blair totally sucks. Shouldn't be in the playoff rotation. I thought he'd be better than Bonner as a bench big, but I might have been wrong.

Jack needs to step up.

[ace3g]

Patty!!!

[timtonymanu]

:lol Bill : G'day mate.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Awesome steal from Mills!

[ace3g]

SJAX and 1!!!

[100%duncan]

GoPatty! :lol

[roycrikside]

there we go. Finally some life.

[ElNono]

Go Spurs Go! :flag:

[Manu-20]

jackson and 1 and also for his size Diaw protects the basket well

[ViceCity84]

Patty cakes

[timtonymanu]

No offense, but why would you want to give this game up? Every game is important so we can avoid LAL in the second round.

I'm not saying we have to, but if the Kings are gonna come out with all this energy, no point in overplaying Tony and Manu, but it looks like the bench is finally coming alive all together.

[ViceCity84]

Capt Jack

[roycrikside]

that ball was already in !

[100%duncan]

:lmao refs

[maverick1948]

Some shitty calls and offense gone to hell without TP or Manu on the floor. Pretty much done with the Mills honeymoon I think. He can't do anything on the floor. Jackson doesn't have any life in his legs either, and nobody protecting the paint. Bonner pretty useless out there too. TP, Manu and Splitter can't win the game by themselves. They need a fourth or fifth guy to chip in.


Hmmm are you watching the game?

[Kyl3]

Bull shit!

[100%duncan]

Do the refs hate us that much?

[Kyl3]

We should pull some The Longest Yard shit on those refs. "Should we go for the left nut this time?"

[spursfanincolorado]

Fucking Jackson with the interference, and Mills chucking up shots

[TDomination]

lol, jackson wanted to slap him back

[timtonymanu]

Damn it Phoenix. You have to beat OKC for us.

[spursfanincolorado]

Thunder up 7

[100%duncan]

We should pull some The Longest Yard shit on those refs. "Should we go for the left nut this time?"

We'll need some bill goldberg there.

[Crookshanks]

god these announcers are boring!!!!!! I want Sean and Bill!!!!!!!!!!

[GSH]

LOL... Mills gets shoved into Cousins, and he gets the whistle?

[Crookshanks]

Refs are horrible also. Gonna be a loooooong game...

[100%duncan]

I actually like this game, bench carrying us and all. And considering this team beat us earlier in the season with a healthy team (except manu i guess).

[Manu-20]

god these announcers are boring!!!!!! I want Sean and Bill!!!!!!!!!!
you can have sean and bill on first row sports they have them

[Kyl3]

we'll need some bill goldberg there.

yes!

[100%duncan]

I guess I'm lucky my feed, has Sean and Bill on it. :lol

[roycrikside]

Jackson is playing like a doofus.

[ViceCity84]

Thunder up 7 at half.

[$pursDynasty]

Splitter needs to do more especially when Timmy isn't in, i mean especially defensivly and rebounding wise

[Manu-20]

Jackson needs to shoot the open shots he gets

[100%duncan]

I swear the Refs hate Tiago

[Ice009]

Sjax playing like shit.

COME ON STEPHEN. PLAY FUCKING SMARTER.

[spursfanincolorado]

I swear the Refs hate Tiago

I know this isnt the popular sentiment, but I think he is soft...

[100%duncan]

Damn you Refs

[roycrikside]

Jackson just killed the Spurs with all of his mistakes the last five minutes, just absolutely slaughtered them. Offensive interference, all these stupid passes, ugh.

[Crookshanks]

you can have sean and bill on first row sports they have them

Thank you! The feed isn't as clear as league pass, but at least I get to listen to my favorite announcers.

[ace3g]

Patty and 1!!!

[100%duncan]

I know this isnt the popular sentiment, but I think he is soft...

He attacks the ring and gets fouled but there is no call thus, creating an image of being soft.

Mills!

[roycrikside]

I swear the Refs hate Tiago

his own coach doesn't respect him, why should the refs?

[LakerHater]

OH SHIT, Patty Mills!!!

[spursfanincolorado]

Sjax playing like shit.

COME ON STEPHEN. PLAY FUCKING SMARTER.

Yeah, between the horrible handle and the bone headed passes and shot selection he is doing well!

[GSH]

Jackson just killed the Spurs with all of his mistakes the last five minutes, just absolutely slaughtered them. Offensive interference, all these stupid passes, ugh.

That basket interference call was a real momentum killer, too. That was just a stupid thing to do.

[ViceCity84]

Patty fastest guard in Nba

[Manu-20]

Thank you! The feed isn't as clear as league pass, but at least I get to listen to my favorite announcers.
no problem

[100%duncan]

Great offense so fat but gotta improve the D.

[roycrikside]

Parker 12:12 in the first half, Ginobili 9:38.

Probably need both of them to play 24+ minutes overall to pull this one out. Pop getting nothing from the 3 spot.

[100%duncan]

his own coach doesn't respect him, why should the refs?

Give me a stat or some news saying Pop doesn't respect him and I'll agree with you.

[100%duncan]

Splitter has got to do better than just 1 rebound. And Patty 7 points in 7 mins! Pretty great

[Ice009]

Is Stephen trying too hard on offense playing for the Spurs? He is just doing some stupid shit on offense. His shot is off too. Get it going Stephen. GET IT GOING.

[vander]

all right, TD got his rest, time to put him back in, we need dis shit

[DMC]

Bonner being his normal ineffective self, cannot hit shit in any situation where points might matter.

[spursfanincolorado]

Clips up 3 on Nuggets -

[DMC]

Sjax playing like shit.

COME ON STEPHEN. PLAY FUCKING SMARTER.
Jax was given the key to the city, it's all ice cream for him now.

[ace3g]

Sam Amick


Spurs coach Gregg Popovich can be one of the best quotes in the biz when he wants to be, & today was one of those days. He deemed this the best season yet for PG Tony Parker: "This is his best year. At the offensive end, he's always been able to score. But he's also distributed the ball better than he ever has before and involved other people, so he's done both...At the same time, he's played his best year of defense and his leadership and understanding on the court are his best thus far."

Sam Amick

Per the quotable "Pop," Spurs coach admitted he saw Parker as "soft" in the beginning- "The first time we worked him out, we didn't want him. We sent him away. We just said we weren't interested. I think it was the draft...I just thought he was unfocused. I just thought he was too cool. I thought he was soft." More on SI.com tomorrow.

[roycrikside]

Bonner being his normal ineffective self, cannot hit shit in any situation where points might matter.

... and a game best +12. :lol

Funny how every shot he misses is automatically a "meaningful" situation but the ones he makes are dismissed. If TD isn't playing and the other two guys in the big three have combined for 21 first half minutes, I'm not sure this is the most meaningful game you can draw your conclusions on.

[Robz4000]

Clips gonna hold on to beat the Nuggets. If the Thunder don't lose the Spurs more than likely are gonna have to play the Lakers in the second round. Tank the game Friday, they prolly fall to the 2 seed and allow the Lakers to stay at 3. Beat them and it hastens their fall to the 4th seed.

[ViceCity84]

Nuggets and 1

[TheSkeptic]

Bonner being his normal ineffective self, cannot hit shit in any situation where points might matter.

Since he'll be an important part of the rotation, however, we'll just have to pray that 2012 turns out to be Bonner's year. I admit that I'm not convinced though.

Not watching the game right now but it looks like Blair's been decent?

[mexicanjunior]

I loved the trade but Stephen Jackson is doing some of the most idiotic things on the court I have seen all year. All Jackson has to do is play good D, rebound and shoot open looks created by someone else...that's it. Instead, he is ball hogging, negating already made baskets and finding creative ways to dribble the ball off of his foot.

[Spurs4#5]

I don't get this "Stephen Jackson needs to do more on offense"....he's playing within the system and he's doing what he was brought in to do which is play d and add toughness to this team....why do y'all think all of a sudden him being on this team would make his shooting percentage jump way up? He's playing the same way he's been playing for like the past 3 or 4 years which is fine because I would still take him over dick any day

[Manu-20]

Clips gonna hold on to beat the Nuggets. If the Thunder don't lose the Spurs more than likely are gonna have to play the Lakers in the second round. Tank the game Friday, they prolly fall to the 2 seed and allow the Lakers to stay at 3. Beat them and it hastens their fall to the 4th seed.
I think the spurs should just get that #1 seed if we meet the thunder in the conference finals it will be worth it

[ViceCity84]

Listen to Spurs announcers 1st halkf
Gonna listen to Kings announcers 2nd half.I liked them.

[spursfanincolorado]

Clips up two - 0.54 ticks to go -

[Robz4000]

I think the spurs should just get that #1 seed if we meet the thunder in the conference finals it will be worth it
Yes but if they meet the Lakers in the second round they very well might not get there.

[ViceCity84]

Nuggs Clipps tied
ome minute left

[Manu-20]

I don't get this "Stephen Jackson needs to do more on offense"....he's playing within the system and he's doing what he was brought in to do which is play d and add toughness to this team....why do y'all think all of a sudden him being on this team would make his shooting percentage jump way up? He's playing the same way he's been playing for like the past 3 or 4 years which is fine because I would still take him over dick any day
TBH stephen is still the same jackson he was back when he was in SA he wanst exacltey a great shooter but he can hit big shots when needed and even if his shots arnt falling he still effects games in the playoffs unlike RJ who would just completley fall apart if that happend to him

[100%duncan]

C'mon Phx

[ViceCity84]

Is it me or was the Spurs-Kings halftime long as hell?

[ace3g]

nice finish by Green off a nice pass from Blair

[SpursRock20]

Is it me or was the Spurs-Kings halftime long as hell?

Yeah, what the hell is going on, I thought my gamecast was frozen...

[100%duncan]

Tip in by Kmart

[ViceCity84]

K-mart with the tip

[100%duncan]

Nice to see Diaw scoring

[Spurs4#5]

TBH stephen is still the same jackson he was back when he was in SA he wanst exacltey a great shooter but he can hit big shots when needed and even if his shots arnt falling he still effects games in the playoffs unlike RJ who would just completley fall apart if that happend to him

Yes...You said it perfectly

[100%duncan]

Nuggets lack of go to guy makes them so bad in the clutch. You kidding me GKarl? An Alley oop?

[PingPong]

Diaw and Blair paired to Parker and Green. And Splitter with the idiotic ones. Smarter players with smaller center and idiotic players with a taller center.

[100%duncan]

Refs giving Clips the game :lmao

[Robz4000]

:lol Nuggets. What kinda play was that?

[100%duncan]

:lmao CP3 still is the same choker as he was before but refs still bailing him out

[100%duncan]

Why not play manu and tp together now and finish the game right away

[ace3g]

Kawhi!!!

[timtonymanu]

Kawhi just keeps adding to his highlights.

[Spurs4#5]

Dias with the 3

[Robz4000]

Diaw starting to consistently hit his 3s...

[Libri]

That Diaw three was perfect.

[100%duncan]

Lovin Diaw now.

[Manu-20]

if boris 3 is falling in the playoffs we will be very hard to beat

[Spurs4#5]

Kawhi with a 3

[ace3g]

TP to Manu to Kawhi for 3!!!

[ViceCity84]

Spurs up a dozen

[100%duncan]

Kawhi is a fucking beast

[Spurs4#5]

What a pass by manu

[ViceCity84]

[Manu-20]

spurs pulling away finally

[100%duncan]

Game over, jokers.

[roycrikside]

Manu's doing that Neo thing with his passing again.

[007nites]

Cut it out Manu! Your having too much fun!

[Libri]

Leonard doing his best to impersonate Bruce. :)

[Robz4000]

Leonard doing his best to impersonate Bruce. :)
Green is way more like Bruce than Leonard imo

[kjhip1]

I swear I dont know you can call the Spurs boring when they pass like that...This has got to be one of the best teams to watch in terms of passing the ball around...That pass to Kawai was a thing of beauty..

[spursince#99]

Diaw thinks he fucking magic johnson


lol he really does :lol

[GSH]

This is like a high school officiating crew.

[ViceCity84]

Splitter has no hops.Can't block a shot.

[Manu-20]

oh shit the jump song cue the danny dancing

[100%duncan]

Why timeout?

This is like a high school officiating crew.

I just turned to my gf and said the exact same thing. At least in HS we didn't have the one clueless woman ref.

Phx only down 3 at the moment.

Cousins uses his ounce of brain cells, and he does dominate down low against our soft bigs tonite.

Not to bad a crew after all we have out scored Sac by 16 from the line.

I understand missing some calls, but they all seem so unsure of themselves.

Of course, I'd understand better if they missed a few less calls.

I'm not saying they're biased. They're missing crap both ways. A lot of those fouls they've called on Sac would have been pretty impossible to miss.

I'm talking about things like how many times they haven't really had a clue who touched the ball last before it went OB. Most of the time, they've acted like they were just guessing.

[100%duncan]

Damn it.
