Game Thread: Spurs vs. Hornets - Jan. 23 @ 7:30 PM CST

[Darth_Pelican]

nice rebounding

[timtonymanu]

Ugh. Just cant fucking break through.

[ElNono]

This Bonner/Diaw lineup sucks

[Richie]

ffs offence has hit the wall the last 5 minutes. just horrible shots.

[capek]

ugh fucking ugh

Come on Spurs!!

[Brunodf]

Great job coach Bud! Bonner/Diaw is working...for the Hornets

[bklynspursfan]

Yea were not winning this tonight. Had 72-70 lead like 3 possessions and couldn't do shit with it

[Timmy4ever]

Just grab the fuckung ball

[Manu-20]

Why the hell is Bud going with Bonner over splitter out there to hell with spacing the floor we need those easy baskets that tiago gets us.

[RD2191]

this is frustrating as hell

[cjjr72984]

REBOUND!!

You guys are missing Duncan. Hornets have four 7-footers that can rebound. And their all interchangeable

[Johnny RIngo]

Gary Neal - only player in the NBA that has trouble scoring against Austin Rivers

[Texas_Ranger]

without Tim and Kawhi we look like Lakers...

[BRHornet45]

Rebounds

Hornets - 37
Spurs - 23

[Chieflion]

No Splitter, offense turns into shit. Doesn't help with Gary Neal totally having no idea what to do with the ball every time the defense closes out on him.

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs look terrible with Parker/Splitter on the bench..they both need to play the rest of the game if the Spurs are going to win, tbh..

[SpursIndonesia]

Why Splitter isn't kept in the game ? He's not in foul trouble, TP & Manu are there to feed him, and he's scoring well !

[spurraider21]

Tiago sits and we collapse lol

[crc21209]

Rebounds

Hornets - 37
Spurs - 23

No shit. Two of our best rebounders are out...

[ElNono]

Spurs look terrible with Parker/Splitter on the bench..they both need to play the rest of the game if the Spurs are going to win, tbh..

Parker was out there :lol

[Juggity]

This is a game where a Baynes might be useful

[Obstructed_View]

Ball don't lie tbh.

[BRHornet45]

You guys are missing Duncan. Hornets have four 7-footers that can rebound. And their all interchangeable

Duncan wouldn't be a difference maker anyways. he only grabbed 8 boards last time they played and shot a pathetic 40%. both Davis and Lopez humbled him.

[spurraider21]

GREAT patience by Tiago there. could have been a pussy charge if he went straight up

[timtonymanu]

Box out, Bonner. Damn.

[RD2191]

duncan wouldn't make a diff? tf outta here clown

[Darth_Pelican]

fucking Rivers

[Obstructed_View]

Bonner passing to the other team's coach. Nice.

[ace3g]

Manu to Nando!!!

[Johnny RIngo]

Gary Neal and Diaw have been really terrible lately. This was a game we needed them to step up

[LakerHater]

Nice Break!

[ElNono]

Lakeshow down 15 with the comedy goods, tbh

[Juggity]

Rivers is a d-leaguer

[Darth_Pelican]

Smith is the most unskilled yet hard working white boy in the association.

[benfti]

where is Mills?

[BRHornet45]

more home cooking right there. that's about as obvious as a charge can be.

[LakerHater]

Close but I'll take it!!

[Richie]

That was definitely a charge

[spurraider21]

I'm glad the refs didn't reward Anderson for playing like a... female dog

[Obstructed_View]

Tiago was so ready for that to be called against him he didn't follow through with the shot.

[Obstructed_View]

more home cooking right there. that's about as obvious as a charge can be.

lulz. That wasn't even close.

[Juggity]

Splitter shooting 90%, damn

[capek]

Did a call just go our way?

[JingleJangleJingle]

lol Jason Smith playing like it's game 7. Man I hate this part of the regular season. top teams are trying to coast a bit and shit lottery teams act like they need to play like they will still make the playoffs instead of tanking.

[LakerHater]

NICE BLOCK!!!

[ace3g]

Neal...

[ElNono]

Manu with the cockblock

[Johnny RIngo]

And Tiago, as good as he is scoring the ball, can't rebound worth a damn

[Captivus]

whats Tiago high game scoring?

[Obstructed_View]

Manu with the KG on Anderson.

[Bill_Brasky]

Why Neal. Just why.

[Russ]

Big confidence boost for Splitter if they win the game where he's the leading scorer.

Opposite if they lose.

[LakerHater]

So much time & Neal fires!!

[Richie]

wtf Neal. Horrible shot to end the 3rd.

[capek]

Splitter shooting 90%, damn

We gotta resign this dude. So impressed with with his play as a starter.

[bklynspursfan]

Moron. SEriously Neal. Wtf

[NickiRasgo]

Damn hero ball.

[timtonymanu]

Neal smh. Just once can you stop doing that.

[Chieflion]

Yes. Shoot that 30 footer with 4 seconds remaining. God damn Neal.

[Manu-20]

Splitter needs to play at least 10 mins in the 4th quater and stupid shot by neal but only down 1 we still got this.

[Obstructed_View]

whats Tiago high game scoring?

26

[HeroSquad]

Gary Neal puts up bad shots. It's like he's trying to prove his worth with every pull up 3 pointer he takes.

[Brunodf]

Neal the offense killer

[spurraider21]

Tiago with 23 on 9-10 shooting and 5-6 from the line. WOW.

and stop calling it hero ball the quarter was about to expire lol. you guys are ridiculous. i'm surprised you don't call free throw attempts hero-ball since they don't pass

[Blizzardwizard]

I can play better D than Bonner, by that I mean I can jump off the ground under the rim. Leaves a hole in the floor though.

[RD2191]

neal needs to go, at least green hits his shots every once in awhile

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Fuck you GARY NEAL YOU FUCKING POS. God damn fkn scrub chucker 2-8 fkn scrub chucker hero baller.

[capek]

So much time & Neal fires!!

I've always liked Neal, but these last few games he's really started to wear on my patience. That was just a poor decision on his part. :td

[timtonymanu]

Neal and Bonner making sure the Hornets get all the momentum.

[Obstructed_View]

Tiago with 23 on 9-10 shooting and 5-6 from the line. WOW.

and stop calling it hero ball the quarter was about to expire lol. you guys are ridiculous. i'm surprised you don't call free throw attempts hero-ball since they don't pass

I call everything hero ball. It's a funny term tbh.

[capek]

I call everything hero ball. It's a funny term tbh.

jumped the shark weeks ago tbh

[RD2191]

fake show down 21

[Obstructed_View]

I've always liked Neal, but these last few games he's really started to wear on my patience. That was just a poor decision on his part. :td

He's a shooter. He needs to keep shooting. When 40 percent of those are going in we don't complain as much.

[Russ]

Neal is a great scorer who is either in a slump (likely) or has completely lost it (possible but less likely).

[keywester]

where is Mills?

Good question!!! If this keeps up, I hope Mills will agree to a trade so that a few fans (Australia & more) can watch him play.

[Cry Havoc]

We need this tonight. The Warriors have a good chance of beating OKC. Could be tied for 1st come morning.

[BRHornet45]

Eric Gordon hasn't done shit since the first half. he didn't even score in the 3rd.

[Johnny RIngo]

Gary Neal: 8-34 last four games...3-16(19%) from beyond the arc

[Blizzardwizard]

Why does Neal shoot as if there's 0.5 on the clock? He can't shoot when he has time anyway.

[Obstructed_View]

jumped the shark weeks ago tbh

Only because of those of us that mock the ones using it tbh.

[TrainOfThought5]

TP/MG/Sjax/Diaw/Splitter for this stretch will bring it home.

[bklynspursfan]

Dammit!!

[Cry Havoc]

God damnit Bonner that's as open as you are in practice.

[RD2191]

matt oh matt smh

[timvp]

#stopchokingmatt

[Obstructed_View]

QUIT GIVING THE MOTHERFUCKING BALL TO BONNER WHEN THE LEAD IS ON THE LINE.

[NickiRasgo]

Damn Bonner.

[capek]

#drownallgingers

[Cry Havoc]

Can we buy a fucking 3?

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Wow, is NEAL a SCRUB or what?!?!?!??!

[RD2191]

NEAL IS GARBAGE

[ElNono]

Bonner/Neal with the choke duet

[Captivus]

theres time Bonner!! slow down, look at the basket, then shoot

[NickiRasgo]

Fuck Neal.

[timtonymanu]

Sit Neal and Bonner.

[timvp]

QUIT GIVING THE MOTHERFUCKING BALL TO BONNER WHEN THE LEAD IS ON THE LINE.

There needs to be some sort of official rule, tbh.

[timvp]

#drownallgingers

#dontlumptherestofusinwiththatloser

[Johnny RIngo]

Neal/Bonner: 2-11 from three

[spurraider21]

Neal 1-6 from range and Bon Bon 1-5

keep shooting though. short memory

[ffadicted]

lol these 3s man... had the fucking pacific ocean for space and still missin

[BRHornet45]

that's a fucking walk!

[Cry Havoc]

I love to see Tiago protecting the ball deep in the post these days. Dude's beasting up.

[NickiRasgo]

A lot of opportunity wasted.

[Cry Havoc]

that's a fucking walk!

Jump, son.

[LakerHater]

Those are fouls not a jump ball, WTF!??

[capek]

#dontlumptherestofusinwiththatloser

#tomakeanomletyouhavetobreakalltheeggs

[ElNono]

you gotta be fucking kidding me

[BRHornet45]

there we go ... again the ball don't lie like the refs do

[Dr. Robert Lee]

You know what? FUCK GARY NEAL!!! That scrub POS couldn't get that? FUCK HIM.

[timvp]

That was the worst jump ball alignment I've ever seen from the Spurs. Tiago had nowhere to tip it.

[ElNono]

ball dont lie, tbh

[BRHornet45]

stupid fucking asshole

how are you in the NBA and can't make a free throw?

[Obstructed_View]

there we go ... again the ball don't lie like the refs do

YOu got that right. :lol

[timvp]

Thank god RMJ could never hit layups.

[HarlemHeat37]

Splitter's post game sucks, but it would be nice if they threw him the ball down low at some point..

Neal is terrible at drawing fouls on his jump shots, tbh..defenders are constantly giving him opportunities to draw cheap fouls when they bite on his fakes, yet he rarely takes them..

[Dr. Robert Lee]

NANDO BITCHES!!!

[HeroSquad]

De Colo is turning it over but he's being aggressive. That's a good sign.

[TheSkeptic]

We could use some better shooting from Neal and Bonner. I honestly don't think Mills would've shot worse than Neal this game tbh.

[Cry Havoc]

NDC stepping up.

[Obstructed_View]

NANDO

[HI-FI]

DeColo and Manu a good combo imo

[spurraider21]

Thank god RMJ could never hit layups.
:lol

[LakerHater]

Ohhhh Nando!

[NickiRasgo]

Finally!

[BRHornet45]

Gordon its time to show up jerk off

[Juggity]

this game went from all offense in the first half to no offense in the second

[Darth_Pelican]

our bench is shitting the bed

[TDMVPDPOY]

u guys still support this fodder team

[capek]

Nando supplying some much needed energy!!

[Cry Havoc]

Seriously though I bet Matt Bonner was one of the challengers to Scalabrine

[timvp]

Please keeping run thru Rivers and/or Henry.

[LakerHater]

Chunker got one!!!

[Dr. Robert Lee]

I guess if you shoot a million times, one of them might fall, Gary Neal.

[RD2191]

FLUKE LOL

[Cry Havoc]

Up 4.... this is shocking.

[keywester]

Pop will take the whole team down to prove he is right about bonner & neal.

[timtonymanu]

There we go, Neal.

[ElNono]

come on Rivers... shoot the damn ball

[NickiRasgo]

Okay Neal. :lol

[Obstructed_View]

THIS is why you let him keep shooting, guys.

[benfti]

I honestly think its worth sticky Patty on the court for a couple of minutes to see if he can go Olympic.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I got some of his recent solo albums. I own all of them. He put out an EP and LP just recently. there were rumors he was going to quit making music for the public, just for himself, but thankfully I suppose he'll still put out experimental stuff. I think he's also doing some work with RZA, Wu Tang, Omar Rodriguez Lopez.

It sucks he's no longer with RHCP, but i'm a big fan of both. I think Klinghoffer is a suitable replacement, but he's no Frusciante unfortunately.

Thanks for the update. :tu :)

[LakerHater]

WOW, these refs......!

[capek]

bout damn time! nice shot Gary!

[Johnny RIngo]

Neal finally makes a shot...only took him eight tries

[Obstructed_View]

Another pathetically late whistle.

[RD2191]

another bullshit foul

[capek]

THIS is why you let him keep shooting, guys.

yep yep yep!

[timvp]

Neal keeps shooting if he's in there. You don't want him to shoot, don't play him. Strong trait for a shooter, IMO.

[Brunodf]

We are not winning this, looks like the refs bet on the Hornets...

[crc21209]

:lol Anderson goes up with some weak shit in the paint and gets rewarded...

[Cry Havoc]

Grizzlies < 85 points the last 5 games... tonight they put up 106 on LAL. :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Manu-20]

Just stupid call by the refs they wait till after the shoot for at least a second before they call that just BS.

[TheSkeptic]

Splitter's post game sucks, but it would be nice if they threw him the ball down low at some point..

Neal is terrible at drawing fouls on his jump shots, tbh..defenders are constantly giving him opportunities to draw cheap fouls when they bite on his fakes, yet he rarely takes them..

It's funny actually. According to Synergy he scores a pretty decent PPP from the post. Which is weird because I don't think he's a good post player either.

[HI-FI]

Ron Washington wants to do some coke off her tits, I don't blame him.

[Dr. Robert Lee]

NANDO IS MY BOY.

[BRHornet45]

oh snap they are interviewing Ron Washington on the Hornets game feed .... get the coke!

[timtonymanu]

Grizzlies < 85 points the last 5 games... tonight they put up 106 on LAL. :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

So much for that so-called meeting that cleared the air. :lol

[Captivus]

Lakers loose another one

[keywester]

Neal gives ands he takes and takes.

[Obstructed_View]

They're playing Green Acres at at&t? Lame.

[timvp]

Green............................. :depressed

[ElNono]

come on Danny... you don't have a floater

[Dr. Robert Lee]

WTF, Green?

Ron Washington talking about the Working Man. :lol

[Darth_Pelican]

come on Rivers... shoot the damn ball

:lol

[Obstructed_View]

Danny Green is bad. And stupid.

[TDMVPDPOY]

danny green cant hit shit close to the ring...fkn pathetic

[LakerHater]

WTF, on Green?????

[spurraider21]

Green floaters lmao. They're worse than those half-hooks Tiago throws

[Cry Havoc]

WTF, Boris? Total scrub right now.

[RD2191]

dear god diaw

[Ice009]

Danny Green, PATHETIC inside the arc. Fucking joke Danny.

[Texas_Ranger]

thats pretty pathetic...

[LakerHater]

Oh shit, we got a call!

[Cry Havoc]

Get T'ed up Anthony.

[ElNono]

Put Bonner on Ryan Anderson

Ryan Anderson scores 4 straight

[timtonymanu]

Come on Diaw. Finish that.

[timvp]

Got damn; such a frustrating half.

[LakerHater]

DAMN Boris!

[Splits]

Grizzlies < 85 points the last 5 games... tonight they put up 106 on LAL. :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

With no bench

[ElNono]

9/19 at the freebie line... smh

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Fkn scrub Diaw

[capek]

god these fts fuck

[Captivus]

Get Tiago in now!

[LakerHater]

Diaw misses two layups, two foul shots, on one possession

[BRHornet45]

ball don't lie

[Obstructed_View]

Boris Diaw's game is reaqlly good. For me to poop on.

[capek]

wow

[siraulo23]

Score?

[NickiRasgo]

Damn freebies.

[timtonymanu]

Hit your fucking shots if you're gonna miss the free throws then.

[timvp]

Ughhhhhhhhhhhh

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Gary Scrub Neal.

[Cry Havoc]

Neal gets hit while driving with no call? Seriously?

[Cry Havoc]

Great D Jax. Now bury one when you get back on O.

[timvp]

Alright, TP, do this.

[HeroSquad]

Hornets exploiting our lack of size. I hope Baynes can help out.

[LakerHater]

Good D Jax!!

[Juggity]

Everything becomes difficult when tiago goes to the bench

[Obstructed_View]

Hero ball ftw.

[Cry Havoc]

El Nono was standing up for that shot. :lol

[LakerHater]

Finally Tony!

[LakerHater]

Jesus!

[BRHornet45]

damn Vasquez got a big dick

[ElNono]

SMH... here comes scrubasquez

[capek]

LET'S GO TONY, LEAD US HOME!!

[RD2191]

FUCK YOU VASQUEZ

[timtonymanu]

Fucking Vasquez

[timvp]

Why is Bud limiting Splitter's minutes so much?

[Cry Havoc]

Score?

Hornets up 1.

[SpursIndonesia]

Those missed FTs will bite em in the rear ....

[Richie]

Splitter, Tony and Manu all need to be in after this time out. Close out the game.

[cjjr72984]

I see you Greivis

[timtonymanu]

Okay, Bud, put Splitter back in now.

[spurraider21]

Spurs down 1... have missed 10 free throws

[keywester]

SA ready to enter the lower tier of NBA teams....Come on Pop....you can't live in the past.

[Duncan2177]

Neal and Bonner should make the all poop team.

[Obstructed_View]

Why is Bud limiting Splitter's minutes so much?

No camp. He's injury prone. He's not very skilled.

[TheSkeptic]

Those missed FTs will bite em in the rear ....

Already to be honest. If the Spurs had even gone 65% from the line they'd be in a good position right about now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow, should've known the shooting would regress to the mean in the 2nd half! :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Tony.

Fucking.

Parker.

[LakerHater]

Beautiful lay up!

[BRHornet45]

fucking Gordon

[Johnny RIngo]

Gary Neal will go 3 for 12

Called it. Neal's 3-11 right now.

[Juggity]

[timvp]

Hell yes, TP.

[capek]
