Game Thread: Spurs vs. Suns - Feb. 27 @ 7:30 PM CST

[Bill_Brasky]

Great now we've got Manu down

[JingleJangleJingle]

jesus lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TP's stroke is so sweet now when it was once so ugly. Tony and Chip deserve huge props for what they've done.

[Strategic]

Watching Tim Duncan since the All Star Break has been painful... He's not really getting up and down the court.

[TDfan2007]

Tony's finishing around the rim never ceases to amaze me.

[Robz4000]

If not for Tony the Spurs are losing this game by double figures.

[Darius McCrary]

Isn't it amazing how easily winnable games become easily loseable when the Spurs fail to hit FTs at the rate we are used to this season? Spurs could have finished GSW had they hit their FTs the other night.

[ace3g]

soft roll, shooters touch for Nando

[timtonymanu]

Nando over Patty?

[Captivus]

Tied game in Houston, 30+ secs remaining.

[Strategic]

great look for Blair

[capek]

This team is so fucking exciting to watch! <3

[bklynspursfan]

Sweet passing there at the end

[hooperflash]

Da propeller!

[JingleJangleJingle]

Tied game in Houston, 30+ secs remaining.

and Utah is going to lose again...dammit why do the Lakers have to make the playoffs.

[Spurs Brazil]

Kawhi 33333333333

great pass Blair

[DesignatedT]

Patty with the propellor

[Captivus]

WOW!! The shot Ellis just made!!! Buzzer Beater!

[Darius McCrary]

DAL had 5 points in the 3rd against MEM. Lol lol

[BatManu20]

Anyone else watching the Warriors game on ESPN right now? Steph Curry is on FIRE right now :wow. 50 points with 3 minutes to go

[DatBoyGood]

Dang curry! crazy how these young point guards in the league already taking over! Irving, curry, westbrook and soon lillard.

[capek]

Anyone else watching the Warriors game on ESPN right now? Steph Curry is on FIRE right now :wow. 50 points with 3 minutes to go

WTF He wasn't suspended after the scuffle against the Pacers?

[DatBoyGood]

WTF He wasn't suspended after the scuffle against the Pacers?
Nah only Hibbert and Lee were. :lol even though curry was the one who went right at hibbert

[Brunodf]

Micro ball...

[Strategic]

damn suns hangin

[Robz4000]

I can't comprehend why Pop is keeping Blair and Diaw as the only bigs on the court. All PHX is doing to score is posting them up.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

WTF He wasn't suspended after the scuffle against the Pacers?


Nah only Hibbert and Lee were. :lol even though curry was the one who went right at hibbert

Nah, Curry did nothing wrong. He was trying to keep Hibbert and Lee apart.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

I can't believe Kawhi doesn't have a single rebound.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

These are the kinds of games I wish I didn't watch. We've played at about 70% all night.

[capek]

Nah only Hibbert and Lee were. :lol even though curry was the one who went right at hibbert

:lol That's crazy man. I mean, Curry got flung around like a little bitch, but he totally instigated that shit. He was the sole reason that all spilled into the first row of seats. Who knows what the NBA is thinking sometimes

[Darius McCrary]

Curry is good but theres no way he lights up anyone in a playoff setting. At least if the team they're playing is halfway competent. Gotta hard foul him on that little acrobatic stuff.

[BatManu20]

De Colo just hit the side of the backboard on a jump shot...

[SpursIndonesia]

Nah, Curry did nothing wrong. He was trying to keep Hibbert and Lee apart.

Well, he grabbed the wrong player then .....

[capek]

Nah, Curry did nothing wrong. He was trying to keep Hibbert and Lee apart.

Watch it again. All the other players were trying to keep them apart. Curry went at Hibbert like a 10 year old might go at somebody who just killed his mother. He didn't throw any punches, but he launched himself at Hibbert twice with all his little boy strength.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

De Colo looks exactly like Manu when he clears space with the ball. I honestly thought it was Manu on the floor.

[LakerHater]

5 fouls on Dragic!

[RD2191]

GREEN,and curry should of been suspended, even more-so than lee, curry was the one that started most of it after hibbert pushed lee

[timtonymanu]

FFS Suns. Go away already. :lol

[BatManu20]

The Suns just won't go away. Gotta give them credit

[Capt Bringdown]

O'Neal embarrassing TD

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Watch it again. All the other players were trying to keep them apart. Curry went at Hibbert like a 10 year old might go at somebody who just killed his mother. He didn't throw any punches, but he launched himself at Hibbert twice with all his little boy strength.

I was watching the game at the time and have seen 10 replays. Curry is clearly trying to push Hibbert away from Lee to avoid a brawl. He then gets flicked away like a flea by Hibbert. :lol

[TDfan2007]

O'Neal embarrassing TD

Again, watching Timmy has been painful. He's getting clowned on by Jermaine O'neal of all people.

[timtonymanu]

Damn, the Lakers get a cupcake opponent tomorrow of course.

[Strategic]

Blair's takin' over!

[boutons_deux]

Suns 6 -24 on the road, and Spurs can't finish them off.

[Captivus]

And Utah wont win today

[SpursIndonesia]

Damn, the Lakers get a cupcake opponent tomorrow of course.

Won't post, or even look up downstairs today, gonna be unbearable, slippery with all those dickwads from the purple&piss fans over there.

[BatManu20]

Jarret Jack is pissing me off. He killed us when we played and he's straight up sucking ass against the Knicks right now. About to cost the Warriors the game.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

What is it with washed up players who find the fountain of youth in Phoenix. O'neal playing like a young man WTF.

[NickiRasgo]

Damn that was easy two field goal.

[Darius McCrary]

Duncan doesn't look slow to me but he certainly doesn't look as quick as he did prior to injury.

[RD2191]

oh manu

[NickiRasgo]

Manu trey!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What is it with washed up players who find the fountain of youth in Phoenix. O'neal playing like a young man WTF.

It's their medical staff. They obviously feed their players HGH or somesuch.

[BatManu20]

Steph Curry finishes with career high 54 points and and Tyson Chandler with a career high 28 rebounds as the Knicks defeat the Warriors. Crazy..

[HI-FI]

strange officiating to this one. least Dragic has 5 though.

[Bill_Brasky]

Finally a call

[SpursIndonesia]

TD & Tiago down low and yet still giving up offensive boards to geriatric elder, smfh .....

[Southwest Texas Fan]

It's their medical staff. They obviously feed their players HGH or somesuch.

Must be the juice. Lol.....

[timtonymanu]

It's their medical staff. They obviously feed their players HGH or somesuch.

They should bring some of that magic over here. Timmy turns into 03 Timmy. Manu may turn into 05 Manu. Jack turns into 08 Jack.

[RD2191]

we really need to develop baynes

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Manu with the three!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

That should have been a foul on Gortat

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Must be the juice. Lol.....


They should bring some of that magic over here. Timmy turns into 03 Timmy. Manu may turn into 05 Manu. Jack turns into 08 Jack.

Everyone would take HGH if they could afford it - few negative side-effects but helps your body repair itself much more quickly. Great for recovery.

NBA is probably riddled with PEDs given that the testing regime is so weak.

[Darius McCrary]

HGH should be allowed in all sports, IMO.

[Capt Bringdown]

oh great, TD hurt

[NickiRasgo]

Duncan hurts.

[timtonymanu]

Damn players getting banged up left and right. Please just end this game.

[BatManu20]

Come on guys. We need this one

[NickiRasgo]

Nice TP!

[RD2191]

scrub ass suns better not of broken duncans finger

[NickiRasgo]

That chick looks hot. lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This is what happens when you muck around and play at 70%.

[Darius McCrary]

ROFLROFLROFL Dragic Gortat

[Arcadian]

:lol Wow, Gortat probably wants to die right about now

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Duncan's playing.

[Bill_Brasky]

Damn players getting banged up left and right. Please just end this game.

Please just end this regular season...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Dragic and Gortat both pointing their angry Balkan hands at each other... :lmao

[JingleJangleJingle]

lol O'Neal...holy fuck

[NickiRasgo]

Oh yes! Tony!

[RD2191]

tp9=clutch

[NickiRasgo]

Damn.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

O'Neal hasn't played like this for about 7 years!

[RD2191]

morris=clutch

[NickiRasgo]

TD!

[timtonymanu]

TD21!

Fuck you, Suns!

[Floyd Pacquiao]

td clutch

[BatManu20]

Timmy! Clutch

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

And TP just keep PWNing them. :D

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Duncan!!!

[RD2191]

duncan=clutch

[benefactor]

Giving the Suns bad flashbacks.

[weeks]

duncan trollin us with that hesitation

[Arcadian]

Timmah! One of the clutchest players of all time.

[Bill_Brasky]

Timmy D says how's my ass taste Suns!

[$pursDynasty]

Heroball, MVP thy name is Tony Parker

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great use of the clock on that possession. :lol

[weeks]

of course it would be manu :(
edit: :king

[ace3g]

crap

[BatManu20]

WTF

[timtonymanu]

Of course that fucking scrub Wesley Johnson!

[Quiet Strength]

damn manu

[Robz4000]

My God...

[NickiRasgo]

Damn OT!

[BatManu20]

Hit your damn FT's

[024]

rofl ginobili choke

[RD2191]

SON OF A BITCH

[HI-FI]

lmao at Ginobili. what the fuck has happened with him

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:lmao

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao Suns.

:lmao Playing like it's the Finals.

:lmao Finals in February.

[Chinook]

That was great, I don't care if it hurts the Spurs.

[DPG21920]

Manu with the continued FT bads :td

[timtonymanu]

What a crock of shit. Can't even rely on our FT shooters.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Shit

[LakerHater]

FUCKIN SHIT MANU!!
....Hit your damn free throws!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

O fucking T.

[timvp]

WTF.

[ElNono]

crofl Gino

[Texas_Ranger]

lol Ginobili

[Bill_Brasky]

Hit. Your. Fuckin. Free throws kids.

[$pursDynasty]

Church of Manu closed for renovations

[Captivus]

OT!!

[DatBoyGood]

Of course.

[baseline bum]

God damn it. Why can't Mexicans hit free throws?

[Darius Bieber]

FUCK

[dbreiden83080]

Fuckin Manu

[Richie]

Wes Johnson, great shot. Manu gotta hit the free throw though.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

What's up with Manu and free throws lately?

[hooperflash]

I knew that was gonna happen Bill Land...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I think we might lose it from here. Never showed up all night, and the Suns have the momentum.

[Brunodf]

HOLY SHIT OUR GUARDS ARE SLEEPING OR WHAT??????????????????????????

[superjames1992]

Manu just wants to pad stats in OT, tbh.

[weeks]

gut punch. dammit.
the spurs bench's expression says it all

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs taking multiple steps backwards with this game.

[rasho8]

Lol. spurs shit he bed on that one.

[SpursIndonesia]

Ginobili sucks, can he make it up in the overtime ??

[Strategic]

who is that bastard?

[DPG21920]

Beyond annoying, Manu. Just a silly a** way to let a team stick around.

[Arcadian]

:lol Ginobili = unclutch

You know what, though? I like it. I'm in the mood for some more basketball, so I'm not complaining. It's an exciting game, and I don't feel like we're really in danger of losing. It's just some extra excitement before the inevitable win.

[DesignatedT]

Manu still missing free throws I see.

[Darius McCrary]

Isn't it amazing how easily winnable games become easily loseable when the Spurs fail to hit FTs at the rate we are used to this season? Spurs could have finished GSW had they hit their FTs the other night.

smh

[BatManu20]

How do you even let him get that open? Spurs are just playing like a middle of the road team tonight

[DPG21920]

SPIF

[emanueldavidginobili]

Its whatever were going to win anyways, I want to see a good basketball game

[siraulo23]

Shot by Johnson sucks Manu couldn't hat that ft

[spursparker9]

Meanwhile, OKC is winning games at home by 30 points and have no injuries whatsoever

[ace3g]

Dragic with 5 fouls, attack him now

[Darius McCrary]

The high rate of FT's hit as been IMO one of the bigger reasons for our dominant win% this year. You take away that very good FT%? You have the pre-2011 Spurs, when we would drop games like this more often.

[Capt Bringdown]

O'Neal with the stellar outlet pass.

[NASpurs]

This fucking shorten rotation shit is stupid. Get Manu's ass out of there and play Green. And lol @ other team's putting their Sefolasha on Parker.

[timvp]

Turnobili replaced by Chokeobili lately, unfortch.

[Strategic]

you can call me wesley

[ElNono]

late february drama...

[Southwest Texas Fan]

This should have been over by now.

[DatBoyGood]

And the suns are playing the second of a back to back..

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Suns have the momentum.

[JingleJangleJingle]

fucking lottery teams.

[rasho8]

Tony needs to pass it faster on the pnr.

[timtonymanu]

smh Manu.

[emanueldavidginobili]

lmao

[Cklbmk]

I wish J oneal was our 3rd big

[blkroadrunners]

C'mon Spurs..

[Arcadian]

:lmao Airball

[024]

wtf is ginobili doing

[emanueldavidginobili]

no legs

[Cry Havoc]

Manu?

[jestersmash]

:lmao I swear I heard boos on that Manu airball.

[Bill_Brasky]

Just pack it in. Let em have it they deserve it.

[Texas_Ranger]

manu wtf

[DPG21920]

Manu, are you kidding me? What a scrubish-loserish performance right now. Pick it up and close this horrible team out.

[DatBoyGood]

SMDH manu

[rasho8]

Manu is gassed.

[dbreiden83080]

Jesus Manu stop shooting..

[Darius Bieber]

And the suns are playing the second of a back to back..
And their game last night went in overtime too, way over in Phoenix!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Out of sorts all night. Just bad. Oh well, doesn't mean much.

[ElNono]

I see Manu isn't the only one tossing bricks out there...

[024]

put green back in....................

[Arcadian]

Manu you dumbass pass the ball to Tim! Tim was actually calling for it.

[DPG21920]

PHX is defending well with JO and Gortat in there at the moment.

[timvp]

Manu making the dumbest decisions you'll ever see from him. Must be tired.

[NASpurs]

Manu is shooting the ball like he's made five in a row.

[NickiRasgo]

Damn Kawhi.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Kawhi makes the three but no it's a foul.

[RD2191]

brickfest

[Texas_Ranger]

this sucks

[DPG21920]

Manu has to fight through this. He can't be tired and needs to play productive longer minutes.

[Johnny RIngo]

Manu's officially washed up. This is why we couldn't beat OKC last year and why we won't win a 'ship this year...we have no third option. Ginobili may as well be a role player.

[Darius McCrary]

LMAO, how's Manu gassed? Is this what we've really come to?

[LakerHater]

Nice block!!

[emanueldavidginobili]

Lets give some touches for KL, I have faith he can score right now

[Arcadian]

Rejected by Duncan!

Wow, no one has scored in the OT yet

[LakerHater]

Off Kawhi!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

After looking like SPAM started early during the RRT, this game is a major regression. However, I think it's just a case of playing down to the opposition.

[rasho8]

Kawhi needs to try to score. Everyone else is chucking bricks.

[ace3g]

great another review on ball out of bounds...

[jestersmash]

This is why playing Manu 30+ minutes in the playoffs makes no sense if you're going to play him 20 minutes per game during the regular season. He doesn't have the conditioning to perform playing those kinds of minutes.

[emanueldavidginobili]

I know needs to play a little bit more durning games to prevent this late game tiredness

[ElNono]

where's mr mvp conversation at? tired legs?

[emanueldavidginobili]

This is why playing Manu 30+ minutes in the playoffs makes no sense if you're going to play him 20 minutes per game during the regular season. He doesn't have the conditioning to perform playing those kinds of minutes.

[rasho8]

Pop going with Danny

[Budkin]

Please God don't give away this game.

[jestersmash]

Please God don't give away this game.

meh it's not a big deal.

[JingleJangleJingle]

lol they get it right this time lol

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Defense.

[Darius McCrary]

This is why playing Manu 30+ minutes in the playoffs makes no sense if you're going to play him 20 minutes per game during the regular season. He doesn't have the conditioning to perform playing those kinds of minutes.

Either that or we have a player who is so old he simply isn't capable of playing 30 mins anymore. Which is pretty much what last Thunder series showed us.

[DPG21920]

After looking like SPAM started early during the RRT, this game is a major regression. However, I think it's just a case of playing down to the opposition.

No excuses. Spurs at home, Suns played an OT game last night. Just horrific if they lose this one. (not that it necessarily means anything going forward)

[NASpurs]

where's mr mvp conversation at? tired legs?

He's just disappearing per par when someone taller than him guards him.

[DatBoyGood]

Maaann...if the home game winning streak ends tonight...smh

[dbreiden83080]

Manu takes another step back 3 the remote is getting chucked..

[Floyd Pacquiao]

damn manu got benched for danny

[rasho8]

Parker looks flustered.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

No excuses. Spurs at home, Suns played an OT game last night. Just horrific if they lose this one. (not that it necessarily means anything going forward)

Don't get me wrong, if we lose it it's a terrible loss. I just think it means little in the greater scheme of things.

[emanueldavidginobili]

TP needs to swing the ball jesus, to much dribbling

[ElNono]

well well well

[timtonymanu]

Hit the fucking free throws!

[DPG21920]

TP smh...

[rasho8]

Jesus fuck score already

[BatManu20]

Parker struggling with a bigger defender on him per par. That's going to be a real issue come playoff time

[Budkin]

Jesus FTs

[RD2191]

OH GOD TP

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Now Parker is missing free throws.

[Capt Bringdown]

What happened to the marvelous ball-movement of just a few games ago? Too much dribbling around by Tony and Manu.

[Texas_Ranger]

pathetic...

[capek]

these fucking fts smh

[dbreiden83080]

Tim Tony or Kahwi shooting...

[LakerHater]

Eveyone missin free throws

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It's almost as if we're trying to lose this... maybe the fix is in? :lmao

[LakerHater]

WOW, No FGs YET!!

[rasho8]

No more hero ball pass the fucking thing.

[jestersmash]

It's almost as if we're trying to lose this... maybe the fix is in? :lmao

We've had an OKC-like night at the free throw line. Very generous whistles all game long.

[emanueldavidginobili]

KL legit hasn't touched the ball in forever it seems like

[ElNono]

0-3 in OT? maybe Manu should be taking shots now...

[Texas_Ranger]

worst overtime ever

[HI-FI]

did Tony and Manu make a bet who could shit this game away first?

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Give Kawhi the ball.

[Arcadian]

Wow. The offensive for both teams is amazingly poor right now.

However, we can see the value of having twin towers - one tower shoots from the wing, and the other is in the paint to rebound his miss.

[jestersmash]

0-3 in OT? maybe Manu should be taking shots now...

Pop (rightfully) benched Manu for Danny Green.

[Budkin]

No touches for Kawhi :sad

[NASpurs]

A minute left in overtime and no one has made a basket except a freethrow. :lol

[Capt Bringdown]

Lame basketball. Spurs completely stymied and flummoxed by the legendary Sun defense ffs.

[Darius McCrary]

LOL Damn, I'm glad I took time away from studying for this shit.

[Bill_Brasky]

Give the ball to someone else for fuck's sake

[EVAY]

No more hero ball pass the fucking thing.

TO WHOM???? NO ONE CAN MAKE A SHOT

[ElNono]

Pop (rightfully) benched Manu for Danny Green.

resting... he's back out there

[jestersmash]

A minute left in overtime and no one has made a basket except a freethrow. :lol

Pop will love the defense.

[dbreiden83080]

Get something for Kahwi Pop..

[EVAY]

No more hero ball pass the fucking thing.

TO WHOM???? NO ONE CAN MAKE A SHOT

[rasho8]

Of course not they aren't passing it to anyone.

[jestersmash]

:lmao Manu...

[loveforthegame]

Pathetic.
