[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Veteran team finishing the game with poise... and it was all started by the HERO himself, TP, with two nice buckets to put us ahead 3. Very nice. :D

[Cry Havoc]

Let's ice this here and now.

[Juggity]

Manu's suffocating D

[spurraider21]

[BRHornet45]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Get your head right. We're in winning mode now!

He's a chronic cliff-jumper - ignore. ;)

[RD2191]

DEAR GOD SPLITTER WAS WIDE OPEN

[capek]

Of course

[Cry Havoc]

Tony Parker will not let us lose this game.

[LakerHater]

Right on him!!

[ElNono]

[BRHornet45]

bullshit that is NOT goaltending! God almighty talk about home cooking that is ridiculous

[NickiRasgo]

Looks like Bud listened to me.

WOW. this is fantastic

wowowowowowowowowowowow!!! what a break!

[NickiRasgo]

Game over!

[timvp]

Holt shhhhhhhhhhhhh.......... what an enjoyable run, tbh.

[capek]

FUCKING AVALANCHE!

[Obstructed_View]

Perfectly-timed double teams several possessions in a row. Amazing.

[timtonymanu]

Impressive by our squad. Allowing only 89 points right now without our two best defenders.

[Cry Havoc]

bullshit that is NOT goaltending! God almighty talk about home cooking that is ridiculous

You got MORE than your fair share in our building in the first half.

[Richie]

Hornets killed themselves with turnovers the last 5 minutes.

16-3 run?

[Juggity]

This is hard to believe

[LakerHater]

Nice run on the pelican'ts

[Russ]

25 points for NO in the 2d half.

[capek]

Holt shhhhhhhhhhhhh.......... what an enjoyable run, tbh.

OMG RIGHT?? WOW THE RELEASE IS ECSTATIC!

[Paranoid Pop]

Pretty exciting stuff tbh/

[Timmy4ever]

It's over It's over

[timtonymanu]

Cue a :cry thread by BR downstairs about the ref conspiracies.

[RD2191]

good job good effort

[Richie]

bullshit that is NOT goaltending! God almighty talk about home cooking that is ridiculous

You can't be serious. That wasn't even close, clear goaltend.

[Bill_Brasky]

Man, I'd like to say that we played that good of defense at the end, but the Pelicans certainly didn't help themselves.

Still awesome D for being without Duncan/Leonard though. Just outstanding.

[Mugen]

Awesome 4th quarter.

[Captivus]

http://www.ecology.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/pelicans-peru-524.jpg

[Obstructed_View]

You can't be serious. That wasn't even close, clear goaltend.

His team loses, he resorts to trolling.

[capek]

Tony Parker, what a leader he's been tonight. So impressive. And everyone else has stepped up as well. Green's D on Gordon has been fantastic down the stretch!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Now THAT is how you finish a game! :D :flag:

[NickiRasgo]

Manu!

[BRHornet45]

Gordon to blame for this. hasn't scored since the first half and has turned the ball over like crazy when it counts

[Darth_Pelican]

good game Spurs fans... Gordon was absolute garbage in the 2nd half and that's the main reason we lost.

[spurraider21]

austin rivers is a joke. should be in the d-league. he's clearly not ready yet

[LakerHater]

Here we go...

[ElNono]

I think its safe to say the Hornets are the new owners of the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA.

[Obstructed_View]

Mase in yo fase is clutch when down 11.

[timtonymanu]

good game Spurs fans... Gordon was absolute garbage in the 2nd half and that's the main reason we lost.

:tu

[LakerHater]

Checkin RMJ 3??

[spursparker9]

RMJ's hair was better when he was in SA.

[justinandimcool]

jungleball > classyball tbh

[SpursIndonesia]

Damn Pelicans, stop hurting our point differential stat !!

[Richie]

good game Spurs fans... Gordon was absolute garbage in the 2nd half and that's the main reason we lost.

I feel like you went away from him in the 3rd. He started the second half and everything you did was in to Lopez against Splitter. He was hot coming out of the first half and barely got a touch in the 3rd.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

they're gonna call that a 3? wtf

[BRHornet45]

rigged rap game, rigged basketball game, rigged news media ... nothing is legit anymore.

[HI-FI]

i actually think we could win this as well. I'm worried about Duncan's knee though, nothing we can do about it. I think a lot of guys will be balling tonight like how they played against Miami earlier. I probably won't be able to catch the game tonight but we'll see...
my confidence waivered a bit, but my initial instincts were spot on. sometimes we play better when we have less options, just ball.

[Brunodf]

Ok, make the FTs now!!

[Juggity]

rigged rap game, rigged basketball game, rigged news media ... nothing is legit anymore.

:cry

[Obstructed_View]

RMJ's hair was better when he was in SA.

As was his game.

They called that a three? wasn't his foot on the line? THought that means two.

[NickiRasgo]

Is Baynes watching?

[ElNono]

the fuck diaw

[RD2191]

WTF

[timvp]

Diaw, take your head out of your croissant, tbh.

[Obstructed_View]

God damn, boris.

[LakerHater]

5 sec, HOLY SHIT!!!

[timtonymanu]

Stupid by Boris.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

rigged rap game, rigged basketball game, rigged news media ... nothing is legit anymore.

What a load of bullshit.

You're right about the media, but how was this game rigged? Spurs simply outplayed your team in last 5 mins of the game.

[Obstructed_View]

Tmac game?

[LakerHater]

GODDAMMIT!!

[timvp]

Green take the damn timeout. Hly ish.

[Juggity]

Jesus fuck

[Brunodf]

WTF ARE THEY DOING?????????

[LakerHater]

That 5 sec call cost us !

[RD2191]

DEAR GOD

[timtonymanu]

rofl such idiot ball now.

Are the Spurs allergic to timeouts or what?

[HI-FI]

shit, i shouldn't have quoted myself so soon. we better finish this shit up, no excuses.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

god fucking dammit, we could have said that we gave up more points in the 1st quarter than in the 2nd half if we didnt mess up

[Richie]

wtf Bud HAS to call a timeout there

[Russ]

10-16 from 3???????

[024]

:lol

[ElNono]

call a fucking timeout

[BRHornet45]

What a load of bullshit.

You're right about the media, but how was this game rigged? Spurs simply outplayed your team in last 5 mins of the game.

no. Eric Gordon decided to turn the ball over 5 times and not score a single point in the second half. that is the difference.

[bklynspursfan]

Dammit gave up 100 to these birds. Way to be stupid on that last possession

[spursparker9]

Fucking Hell!!

[crc21209]

rigged rap game, rigged basketball game, rigged news media ... nothing is legit anymore.

:lol This guy...

[loveforthegame]

I have no words.

[LakerHater]

Just get the ball in & make your free throws!!

[ElNono]

why is bonner in there?

[RD2191]

IM GONNA CRY

[Obstructed_View]

K Spurs...they have to foul.

[Juggity]

Don't go to OT

[ElNono]

Austin Rivers is in... we win, tbh

[timvp]

Manu ... STOP PASSING TO BONNER, WTF.

[BRHornet45]

stupid assholes not fouling bonner

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

no. Eric Gordon decided to turn the ball over 5 times and not score a single point in the second half. that is the difference.

Okay, but that doesn't make it rigged - that makes it a poor half from EG.

Don't worry so much - you've got a nice young core here... and it's back to a 3pt game anyway! :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Beautiful ball movement there.

[LakerHater]

NICE, wayta kill clock!!!

[Dr. Robert Lee]

LOL, Pelicans.

[timtonymanu]

Don't trust any of our players at the line right now, tbh.

[justinandimcool]

fire Bud!!!!

[Obstructed_View]

Manu ... STOP PASSING TO BONNER, WTF.

Any insight as to why the fuck he's in the game?

[Juggity]

Clutchnobili

[timvp]

Bad reach there, TP. Got away with it though...

[ElNono]

Take the W home, Manu

[PingPong]

SPURS in Cavs mode.

[Obstructed_View]

Parker got away with a shove lol

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Any insight as to why the fuck he's in the game?
Free throw shooting, obviously.

[DesertSpur50]

Free throws have been plaguing the spurs all game and Manu sinks the most important ones!

Spoke too soon...fuck...

[BRHornet45]

WHAT THE FUCK??? why wouldn't Monty call a timeout and advance the ball just now? Hornets have 2 timeouts left.

[LakerHater]

Manu could seal it!!!

[NickiRasgo]

Good Manu! Welcome back.

[BRHornet45]

Parker got away with a shove lol

story of the entire game right there

[timvp]

Okay no foul.

[RD2191]

fuck you hornets, just give up you scrub team

[ElNono]

tbh, Pop probably choked on his wine when he saw Danny... I wouldn't want to be him tonight

[Darth_Pelican]

WHAT THE FUCK??? why wouldn't Monty call a timeout and advance the ball just now? Hornets have 2 timeouts left.

Agreed... It's like he gave up on the game already.

[BRHornet45]

it was a 5 point game with like 13 seconds left and the Hornets had 2 timeouts left. Monty chose to allow them to burn off 5-6 seconds running all the way down the floor instead of calling one.

[HI-FI]

crofl Austin Rivers

[Richie]

This comeback is on Bud. A timeout either on the 5 second call or the trap and this would be over 5 minutes ago.

[Juggity]

sigh of relief

[timtonymanu]

Ugly basketball for most of the game. Good win!

[LakerHater]

BALL GAME!!

[NickiRasgo]

It was a nice W w/out Duncan, Kawhi and Pop.

[Darth_Pelican]

:lmao Rivers

[Blizzardwizard]

Why do we seem to hate playing the Hornets?

[ElNono]

good win

[Obstructed_View]

This comeback is on Bud. A timeout either on the 5 second call or the trap and this would be over 5 minutes ago.

Bud will never be a head coach tbh. He's got the yips.

[RD2191]

:flag:

[timvp]

Good win. Always good to steal one :smokin

The Spurs played well for about seven minutes that game :lol

[capek]

Man what a roller coaster. But a win without Timmy and Kawhi is great to get!

[Brunodf]

Diaw/Green fucking stupid plays almost cost us the game

[Budkin]

Pretty embarrassing win but ill take it.

[Russ]

Has Splitter ever led the team in scoring before?

[spurraider21]

No Tim, no Pop, and a win? Yes.

[td4mvp21]

Glad they beat this garbage team.

[Splits]

Very nice shorthanded win, great 16-3 spurt to put it away late in the 4th. Hornets played us tough all season and had won 7 of their last 9 and in full health.

[Captivus]

Tiago played a great game.

[DesertSpur50]

Although Bud made some mistakes at the end I thin he did well with the rotations without TD and Leonard. Good Job Bud!

[DMC]

Spurs no TOs yet, Pelicans shooting almost 70 percent. The worm will turn.

said I

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Glad they beat this garbage team.

They're not garbage, and they're 7-3 in past 10. They're actually pretty good, just young and need refining.

Strange game, good win in the end, although after going up 10 with 1:30 to go the game should never have been in doubt.

[loveforthegame]

Good win all things considered.

Must play better in Dallas if we want to win.

[loveforthegame]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Captivus Try going to the technical forum and asking for a flag in the thread there. :)

[timtonymanu]

Good win all things considered.

Must play better in Dallas if we want to win.

That one is gonna be tough if Duncan and Leonard aren't good to go. We embarrassed Dallas the first two meetings. They'll play hard.

[Captivus]

THANKS A LOT!! I will do that!

[PingPong]

Vasquez would be a great second PG for the Spurs.

:lol

[DesertSpur50]

Vasquez would be a great second PG for the Spurs.

:lol

Was thinking the same thing, tbh. lol

[Capt Bringdown]

F'n hell, this Splitter kid can play, huh?

[timtonymanu]

Seriously before the Hornets hit desperation shots, the D was very good in the 2nd half. Allowing 89 points in 46 minutes was damn impressive to do without two of our defensive anchors.

[DMC]

tbh, Pop probably choked on his wine when he saw Danny... I wouldn't want to be him tonight

Danny made one mistake, but did good the rest of the game. Pop doesn't focus on one play (publicly).

[Russ]

Great to hear Joel Meyers calling another Spurs win. :)

[PingPong]

F'n hell, this Splitter kid can play, huh?

Not bad for an unskilled blue collar player...

[Chinook]

Danny made one mistake, but did good the rest of the game. Pop doesn't focus on one play (publicly).

Don't forget his comments about Green's defense on Mo Williams during the last Jazz game.

[SpurPadre]

Seriously before the Hornets hit desperation shots, the D was very good in the 2nd half. Allowing 89 points in 46 minutes was damn impressive to do without two of our defensive anchors.

What wasn't very impressive was the piss poor ball handling in the closing seconds. They almost fucked up the keep away at the end with Manu when all they had to do was hold on to the fucking ball and make them foul you. Terrible, terrible close out effort tbh.

[DMC]

Don't forget his comments about Green's defense on Mo Williams during the last Jazz game.

I missed that. What did he say?

[timtonymanu]

What wasn't very impressive was the piss poor ball handling in the closing seconds. They almost fucked up the keep away at the end with Manu when all they had to do was hold on to the fucking ball and make them foul you. Terrible, terrible close out effort tbh.

Yeah that's why I said for 46 minutes. :lol Those last two minutes were bad. But still, all things considered, the Spurs did pretty good.

[timtonymanu]

I missed that. What did he say?

http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=206746

[crc21209]

In his postgame interview TP said that Timmy's injury isnt serious and he'll probably miss the Dallas game but he'll be back on Saturday against Phoenix...

[Libri]

Coach Bud wears an ear piece, look to see if he touches his ear at any point...

So did he? :lol

I missed the game.

[SpurPadre]

Yeah that's why I said for 46 minutes. :lol Those last two minutes were bad. But still, all things considered, the Spurs did pretty good.

Yeah, I'll take it but they better get these dumb mistakes out of their system by the time the rodeo trip starts.

[timtonymanu]

Yeah, I'll take it but they better get these dumb mistakes out of their system by the time the rodeo trip starts.

Yeah. Honestly it was just dumb decisions by Diaw and Green. Either get fouled or call the timeout.

[Em-City]

jumped the shark weeks ago tbh


Hero ball should really be a Luck the Fakers term

[capek]

Hero ball should really be a Luck the Fakers term

There ya go. Like that idea!

Winner, Winner, Pelican Dinner!
