Trap? Hope not.

[Kool Bob Love]

I wonder home many "bulls fans" will show up for tonight beating.

[timvp]

This is a legit test for the Parker-less Spurs. The Bulls are a very good defensive team and they eat raw point guards for lunch. It's not going to be easy but it'd be a really good win if the Spurs can get it. Hopefully they can ride the home crowd to a W.

[capek]

I just don't think the Bulls can score enough points to hang with the Spurs. Expecting a rather uneventful W.

[RD2191]

:flag:

[timtonymanu]

Interested in seeing how CoJo does.

[Cry Havoc]

Tough game. Sadly I am burning the 7 pm candles in meetings tonight so I won't be able to watch it. Should be a great test for our team. Bulls are pretty banged up too, though, but they'll be finding with wounded pride tonight after the thrashing we gave them last game.

Nice priorities dude. :rolleyes

Spurs and Bulls rocking the "Los" jerseys tonight apparently.

Then how did we beat them with De Colo starting...

Come on dude, be your own boss and show up during halftime. It will just be another beat down episode of "the crying of the bulls", courtesy of the Good Guys.

[MANUNG-Ginobili]

excited to see CoJo play..hope he will start again..

[Darius McCrary]

Perfect test for Cory. How he matches up against speedy loud mouth, undersized point guards can be a preview of any clippers series action.

[foodie2]

Is there a local broadcast? Spurs website says KENS HD but nothing there yet.

[Embedded]

That's the bad thing about League Pass, sometimes the away audio feed SUCKS. The worst was Sacramento a few days ago, talk about gloom & doom. Their team's being killed. They don't know if they will even have jobs after this season. At any point in the game you're afraid one of them will fling themselves from the rafters. From the ball boys to he concession workers, it is a bad scene in Sactown.

[Captivus]

3 fouls on D12...this could go wrong quickly for the Lakers....Utah probably wins unless Kyrie goes Uncle Drew on them.

[freetiago]

so white people cant be obese?

[SupremeGuy]

so white people cant be obese?He's not saying that...

He's just continuing the running joke that San Antonio is full of fat Mexicans. Jesus, don't be in such a hurry to start a race war.

[timtonymanu]

So I guess D-Rose isn't playing then.

[RD2191]

[timtonymanu]

Much better move from Kawhi there.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

[ElNono]

Triple double coming tonight? :wow

[DatBoyGood]

Has duncan ever won DPOY?

[bklynspursfan]

Patty now displaying the holster. I'm really looking at his towel waving now lol

[capek]

Has duncan ever won DPOY?

That award is totally full of shit, so no

[Strategic]

Timmy with the No No No Noah!

[SupremeGuy]

Man, this ESPN broadcast is horrible.

First, it was Barry saying Tony Duncan... and now they showed the El Heat logo instead of Los Spurs. Goddamn idiots.

[bklynspursfan]

Triple double coming tonight? :wow

That'd be pretty awesome. As long as it's not a blowout tonight, it's definitely possible.

[HI-FI]

Timmy looking fantastic. His knee must be feeling good.

btw that direct tv genie seriously needs a good hot stuffing.

[timtonymanu]

Bonner checking in

[weeks]

welcome back, timmy

[Russo21]

Saw Rose warming up before the game. I love the kid as a baller and a person. I wish he'd just take the rest of the year off to rehab. See him come back next year 100%. Don't want him coming back this year just to get injured

[spurraider21]

Tim looks REALLY spry out there.

[Strategic]

Who's getting ready to check in?

[Ellsworth]

Man, this ESPN broadcast is horrible.

First, it was Barry saying Tony Duncan... and now they showed the El Heat logo instead of Los Spurs. Goddamn idiots.

Spurs should change that to LES SPURS (we do have 3 french players, after all)... Los Spurs just has a negative connotation :lol

[RD2191]

oh god

[ace3g]

now Bonner gets off bench first??

[Russo21]

great rebound in amoungst the trees by joseph

[weeks]

holy shit. cojo fightin for that board!

[timtonymanu]

Diaw must still not be ready then?

[loveforthegame]

Joseph with a mans rebound. Love that.

[ElNono]

why Bonner, pop?

:pctoss

[Strategic]

Let's start the thread here, "Let Bonner sit"!

[spurraider21]

CoJo with a monster rebound and nice pace to Bon Bon who proceeds to pump fake and brick a long 2.
btw did Jon Barry really call him the smallest guy on the floor when Nate Robinson is out there?

[timtonymanu]

Bonner comes in. Bulls suddenly cut the lead. UGH!

[Russo21]

Manu with the wicked drive to the bucket only to blow the layup, do'h

[ElNono]

3 mins of Bonner undoes all that timmy did

[loveforthegame]

Right the ship.

[spurraider21]

Its almost scary how weak Bonner is playing

[SupremeGuy]

Wow Bonner... just wow...

[Russo21]

0-8 since bonner came in. fuck me.

[ElNono]

8-0 run since redhead walked in smh

[DesignatedT]

Entertaining game so far.

[RD2191]

bonner fuckin shit up

[weeks]

is there a 'benchbonner' account?

[timtonymanu]

And we still have one more year of this guy? UGH.

[capek]

Makes be speechless how bad Bonner is. He still has one more year on his contract, doesn't he? :depressed

[capek]

And we still have one more year of this guy? UGH.

:lol where my thoughts went too :(

[Brunodf]

Bonner :bang

[Russo21]

We still have the amnesty available dont we?

[ElNono]

amazing how we go from defensive stalwarts to turnstiles when you just swap one guy

[spurraider21]

Sometimes I feel Bonner is unfairly scapegoated for all our problems. He clearly has been the issue so far today. Laughable effort on the boards and defense. He usually at least tries to play D

[Boomersgold]

Having Bonner on at PF is the same playing no PF at all. He gives us zero presence in the post, has zero post moves that he can go to and looks lost on both the offensive and defensive end. Just terrible, tbh.

[bklynspursfan]

Diaw is available but Bonner/Blair coming in. Awesome.

At least Gibson is out, but man.

[timtonymanu]

Wow. Horrible.

[loveforthegame]

Ugh. :td

[DatBoyGood]

Bonner..

[loveforthegame]

Turd towers ftw.

[ElNono]

turd towers... pop wants to lose this shit :td

[spurraider21]

Bonner's rebounding... he had good position and still couldn't corral it. what the hell

[Strategic]

Dammit Pop

[Boomersgold]

wtf?

[capek]

Fucking block out Bonner, christ! :bang

[RD2191]

why the fuck is bonner still in the game

[weeks]

what happened? we were rollin

[Pop]

:pop: .................

[Russo21]

Pop the stubborn ugly old fuck. All these years he still hasnt learned his lesson

[Brunodf]

Pop is trolling

[ElNono]

turnobili smh

[timtonymanu]

Wow. This turned to shit really fast.

[Russo21]

manuu 4 point play woohoo

[Pop]

Pop the stubborn ugly old fuck. All these years he still hasnt learned his lesson

He will try to re-sign the turd towers for sure tbh.

[DatBoyGood]

Nate was 0-6 and then decides to pose :lmao

[loveforthegame]

Manu!!!

[timtonymanu]

Manu!!!! Lead this fucking shitty bench unit.

[Strategic]

and 1111111111

[ElNono]

manu showing up

[DesignatedT]

bonner blair and mills. the worst fuckin players on the team on the court at the same time.

[weeks]

finally stopped the bleeding
thank you gino

[Reck]

Bonner is a pathetic human being. That is all.

[gaKNOW!blee]

Sadly, continuing to play bonner will be one of the things I always remember pop for when he hangs it up

[bklynspursfan]

Finally.. Turnovers will be the death of this team if injuries aren't

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

he stuck his arm out, how dare he try to shoot the ball

[ElNono]

why foul there, matt??? fuck

[capek]

wtf, horrible foul there Bonner. good lord

[Boomersgold]

Fuckin' lucky break. Patty playing crappier defense than he usually plays. It's as if he wants Cojo to take the backup spot.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

yay 2 fouls on matt maybe than pop will take him out

[itzsoweezee]

Wow Bonner is terrible.

[Captivus]

Manu with 2 straight games with 4 pts plays, that unusual...

[timtonymanu]

Barry suddenly not holding back on his hate now that he's not forced to kiss TP's ass. :lol

[spurspokesman]

Bonner..

Why is he in the game?

[capek]

Wow, escaped a hooooooorrrible end to the quarter thanks to Manu. Fuck Bonner, he's never played worse.

[024]

jon barry openly rooting for the bulls :lol

[timtonymanu]

Terrible by the bench except Manu. Gonna have to ride the starters if we want to win this one.

[ElNono]

gonna be hard for Manu to lead anything surrounded by a bunch of incompetent "bigs"

[Robz4000]

I'm in shock how quickly the game changed once Bonner checked in for Splitter

[weeks]

Barry suddenly not holding back on his hate now that he's not forced to kiss TP's ass. :lol
i couldn't catch it; what'd he say?

[capek]

Barry suddenly not holding back on his hate now that he's not forced to kiss TP's ass. :lol

Ya, I feel like I'm listening to the opposing team's announcer. WTF this guy is full of shit

[itzsoweezee]

Bonner is the Jerry of Spurs basketball. Oh Bonner

[Boomersgold]

Take off Bonner and put on Splitter. Ffs, Pop.

[bklynspursfan]

Bonner was bad, but turnovers were the difference. we had 5 they had 1.

[Bill_Brasky]

So glad I have the Spurs feed for this game so I don't have to listen to Barry's annoying ass.

[Brunodf]

Those Chicago annuncers are bad

[spurspokesman]

Wow, escaped a hooooooorrrible end to the quarter thanks to Manu. Fuck Bonner, he's never played worse.

This

[timtonymanu]

i couldn't catch it; what'd he say?

Just keeps complaining about all the non-calls on the travels. He was singing a different tune the last time when TP was active and playing MVP basketball.

[crc21209]

Damn ESPN REALLY hates the Spurs. First the black guy says that Manu stuck his leg out on the 4 point play. Then Barry says Manu traveled on that last layup....

[Manu-20]

So is Diaws back still bothering him is that why he hasn't come in yet.

[Johnny RIngo]

Barry can choke on a dick. Worst announcer in all of sports

[ElNono]

Bonner was bad, but turnovers were the difference. we had 5 they had 1.

when you have 3 stiffs on the floor, it's easier to gamble... Bonner and Blair are just standing there... they can't create for shit

[spurs1990]

Noah though he traveled too. I mean it looked odd.

[HI-FI]

Bonner was bad, but turnovers were the difference. we had 5 they had 1.

pretty much, though Bonner hasn't been playing too well either. but it is funny to see the ST lynch mob going crazy.

[bklynspursfan]

when you have 3 stiffs on the floor, it's easier to gamble... Bonner and Blair are just standing there... they can't create for shit

But a couple of them came with Timmy in too. Just not being smart

[ElNono]

another scrub hits a 3 on Matt

[RD2191]

is pop serious with this lineup?

[timtonymanu]

There we go, 3 goggles.

[ElNono]

cmon patty

[BatManu20]

Bulls shooting lights out of course

[Boomersgold]

Patty!

[Strategic]

Nice flow kill matty

[Johnny RIngo]

It's always hilarious to watch Bonner against good defenses.

[Boomersgold]

We need a center!

[ace3g]

SJAX!!!

[ElNono]

great D jack

[timtonymanu]

Captain Jack!

[BatManu20]

JAXXX!!!

[spurraider21]

nasty

[DPG21920]

Results aside, I love how Tim and Manu look physically :tu

[bklynspursfan]

Jacks shot looks so much better since the tape was removed

[timtonymanu]

But I thought Jack was done :cry

[Boomersgold]

Jax with the extremely slow release!

[BatManu20]

Yea why the hell are there so many Bulls fans at the game?

[Strategic]

Come on Pop, pull out the bar-noculars and try to remember what worked the last game.

[RD2191]

i thought pop was trimming the rotation? guess not

[DesignatedT]

Results aside, I love how Tim and Manu look physically :tu

I was just thinking the same thing. Very encouraging. This is by far the best Tim has looked since that knee scare and the best Manu has looked all season.

[ElNono]

Results aside, I love how Tim and Manu look physically :tu

agreed... waiting on your thoughts about the 'scary' Lakers on the NBA forum, tbh

[Strategic]

i thought pop was trimming the rotation? guess not

He was just talkin'.

[Pop]

The lakers are losing to the Hornets on an unrelated note.

[weeks]

on the plus, the lakers are getting reamed by NOH

if only the jazz had won

[Kool Bob Love]

Yea why the hell are there so many Bulls fans at the game?


Because just like LA a lot of them move down here to SA. Sucks but its great when they pay for a bulls beating.

Also San Antonio a military town. So we got some transplant.

[Buddy Holly]

Yea why the hell are there so many Bulls fans at the game?

Lots of Chicago transplants. Seriously. The number of people who move here from Cook county is pretty crazy.

[crc21209]

Is this ESPN or Bulls network? :lol

[crc21209]

Lots of Chicago transplants. Seriously. The number of people who move here from Cook county is pretty crazy.

Yeah where were these fans in the immediate post-Jordan days though? :lol

[spurraider21]

agreed... waiting on your thoughts about the 'scary' Lakers on the NBA forum, tbh

:rollin

[timtonymanu]

Blair really?

[ace3g]

playblair ... how do you miss that...

[BatManu20]

Damn you Dejuan

[Budkin]

ESPN is whoever is playing against the Spurs network.

[Texas_Ranger]

blair that was pathetic

[loveforthegame]

Turd towers. Awesome.

[ElNono]

Blair is garbage

[weeks]

turnovers have gotta be driving pop CRAZY

[BatManu20]

Spurs have been a turnover machine the past few games. What's going on

[Strategic]

Alright here comes some boys

[Beaverfuzz]

Quit fucking turning the ball over!

[Beaverfuzz]

SJAX!

[timtonymanu]

Jaaaaaaaaaaaaack! :lol @ the haters

[Strategic]

Jax lolol

[BatManu20]

JAXX

[weeks]

oh jack

[capek]

Sweeet Jax!

[spurraider21]

nasty

[loveforthegame]

Jack better make that. :lol

[ElNono]

and defense suddenly picks up...

[Floyd Pacquiao]

dat nigga jack feeling it

[Boomersgold]

Nice.

[Timmy4ever]

any live stream?

[timtonymanu]

Do not play Bonner again, please!

I rather put Mills at PF than see Bonner again.

[crc21209]

Jack's two threes tonight have been pure money. His shot looks way better now that he's got that tape off his fingers..

[Boomersgold]

Do not play Bonner again, please!

I rather put Mills at PF than see Bonner again.

Playing Bonner is like giving the other team an extra man at the PF spot.

[DesignatedT]

Jack just needed to take that tape off his fingers. Lookin good stak

[Buddy Holly]

Yeah where were these fans in the immediate post-Jordan days though? :lol

Probably still living in Chicago? The migration picked up big time mid 2000s.

[timtonymanu]

Jack's two threes tonight have been pure money. His shot looks way better now that he's got that tape off his fingers..

Yet all the idiots in here kept saying he was done. Or that his 3 point shooting can't be relied on.

FWIW, he's had a below average year, but don't ever doubt Buckets.

[RD2191]

is bonner really garbage or are we overreacting?

[capek]

:lol Lakers

[Beaverfuzz]

Quit fucking going for the block on the three pointer every single time...play solid defense you piece of shit!

[ace3g]

how is that not a foul...

[loveforthegame]

Mills!!

[weeks]

patty with the hustle

[Beaverfuzz]

Come on ref, that's NBA Continuation to a T right there!

[Strategic]

come on baldy give the continuation

[bklynspursfan]

Guy misses a foul call, then says on the ground. What a clown

[capek]

Fuck off Barry

[Timmy4ever]

any live stream?:(
