[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

lol

[Raven]

green's D has been just inspiring.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Pop, whatever you do, DO NOT PUT IN BONNER OR NEAL!!!

[Kool Bob Love]

BANG BANG!!!

[timtonymanu]

Still a lot of time on the clock, tbh. Don't mean to be a downer, but keep fighting Spurs.

[01Snake]

No Bonner or Neal appearances in the second half. Imagine that!

[Beaverfuzz]

Manuuuu with the ill advised 3

He got the ball with 8 seconds on the clock. Not ill-advised at all.

[Crookshanks]

Spurs needed a statement win tonight. A close game would've still given GS confidence going into game 6.

[ontheraise]

let finish them

[wut]

anyone else notice how TNT didn't say a word after Manu's dagger 3? ...I mean shit, it was like a funeral was taking place.

[m33p0]

not your classic spurs defensive philosophy... but it's nice to have a couple of young players with long active arms.

[TheGoldStandard]

Suck it Golden State, uh oh is Chris Webber talking about the Spurs??? TNT about to flip flop

[100%duncan]

Holy fuck refs you stupid fucks.

[rold50]

tmac!

[RD2191]

TMAC

[$pursDynasty]

TMac is the fat lady singing?

[KaiRMD1]

McGrady time!!!!!

[wut]

Tracy McGrady, human cigar!

[Budkin]

Mac Attack!!!!

[Paulie]

Come on TMAC!

[Beaverfuzz]

Score at least six points and it's over.

[spursfan4ever]

T-MAC.. here you go

[TheGoldStandard]

Oh no Blair??? What the Fuck I'm okay with T mac but lets not give this lead away

[ace3g]

TMAC!!!

[m33p0]

its tmac time

[BatManu20]

T-Mac! Get some shots up here man

[therealtruth]

Lead is too much. Pop needs to play Bonner and Neal.

[KaiRMD1]

Come on McGrady!!

[Beaverfuzz]

Still have to score guys, it's not over if you don't score at least six.

[100%duncan]

What in the fuck. Finish this stop being flashy.

[Crookshanks]

Seems like GS was stuck on 84 for a very long time.

[Bill_Brasky]

Little early for the scrubs, tbh....

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TMac and Grizzly Blair. Hope Pop hasn't come with the end of bench too early. I would've waited another minute.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Ugh come on Spurs, game is not over!

[m33p0]

rj in.... it's a win :)

[-21-]

T-Mac!!!

[EVAY]

Parker and Duncan both have double-doubles tonight. The difference is that Parker is shooting at better than 50% and with ten assists and now 2 turnovers. Duncan is shooting about 35%

[Beaverfuzz]

Blair threw up a shot put

[spursfan4ever]

blair with a stupid shot

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Shoot it T Mac!

[Brazil]

That was lazy BlairBlair

[Splits]

Damn, Tmac looks slow and out of place

[100%duncan]

Little early for the scrubs, tbh....
This imho.

[ontheraise]

wtf it s only a 17 point lead

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Why are Ginobili and Parker still in? Those guys better not attack the rim or play careless!

[Crookshanks]

Still 3 minutes left, can't let up now

[$pursDynasty]

Ugh come on Spurs, game is not over!Mark Jackson thinks it is because he took everyone out :lmao

[Uriel]

Get Tony and Manu out of there, please.

[spursfan4ever]

t-mac should have shot that one.

[timtonymanu]

Let T-Mac put a shot up at least once. :lol

[m33p0]

wtf blair

[TheGoldStandard]

Let him run the point, give tony a rest

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Geez, too early for the scrubs, I'm worried now!

[ontheraise]

not time for garbage yet

[100%duncan]

Holy fuck hold on 3rd stringers.

[Capt Bringdown]

Fucking Blair

[Budkin]

Fuck you Blair!!

[Beaverfuzz]

ok Patty Mills is good for a three pointer, WE GOT THIS SHIT ON LOCK!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This isn't just small ball, this is microball! Grizz is the C. :lol

[hyhy]

wtf it s only a 17 point lead
Spurs know how to play slow ball unlike warriors

[Paulie]

Come on get TMAC a 3

[EVAY]

We are putting in our third string and there are only 3 minutes left. Both coaches look like they are done for the night.

[twincam]

Go spurs go indeed

[Brazil]

Great game by Parker and green.

[Beaverfuzz]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1D3a5eDJIs Runnin' down a dream.

[ontheraise]

plz put the starting 5 in for god's sake

[Crookshanks]

I know you could never get it to happen, but I think it would be more effective to have the whole arena go silent when GS is at the line. And then maybe just one loud voice yelling just when he releases the ball.

[TheGoldStandard]

T Mac is just walking around because he's not gonna shoot.

[Budkin]

Blair prolly just got TMAC yanked

[m33p0]

still 2:52 left. ugh.

[Splits]

White flag by black preacher coach, Curry, Jack, Thompson all done for the night. That's why Spurs scrubs are in

[spursfan4ever]

T-Mac has to do something to get into to the rotation. giving up a shot to blair is not helping.

[polandprzem]

Damn spurs stopped playing :pctoss

[wut]

Mark Jackson thinks it is because he took everyone out :lmao
Mark Jackson, for the first time all series, was not positive with his team at the start of the 4th....without his words of encouragement, the team stop believing and sunk.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

What is this luneup? Let Duncan rest!

[spursfan4ever]

mills in as well.

[DPG21920]

TMac guarding RJ = mind blown

[Beaverfuzz]

RING IT UP PATTY MILLS!

[spursfan4ever]

Patty!!!

[capek]

Patty party!

[ace3g]

Patty!!!

[100%duncan]

Game. Goggles!

[timtonymanu]

Play Patty over Neal, Pop, for the rest of this series.

[ontheraise]

can tmac play basketball anymore??

[$pursDynasty]

ok Patty Mills is good for a three pointer, WE GOT THIS SHIT ON LOCK!

u called it

[Uriel]

Tim Duncan is back in? WTF.

[Splits]

ok Patty Mills is good for a three pointer, WE GOT THIS SHIT ON LOCK!

Nice call

[007nites]

Why is T-Mac playing with so much swag lol?

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Why is Duncan in?!?!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Patty!!! Go Canberra native!!! :D

[Kyl3]

Bogut always looking like he is crying

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

You guys think Duncan can pass 157? I think we get 1 more year from him.

[aal04]

I think 1 vet on court is needed to calm things down just incase things get crazy.

[capek]

See that graphic Shaq? That's right, GO FUCK YOURSELF!

[spursfan4ever]

I want T-Mac to hit a 3

[Brazil]

:lmao so now Tim is a scrub that pop plays in garbage time now?

[polandprzem]

Why is Duncan in?!?!

To address that we need to play all game!.

[m33p0]

haha! heard a boo when rj shot that ball.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I wanna see T Mac shoot!

[tim_duncan_fan]

TIMMY PILING IT ON!

FUCK YEAH, TIM DUNCAN!

FUCK YEAH, SPURS!

[davemaniscool]

T-Mac the Big Mac

[Brazil]

:lol bonner is afraid

[capek]

I want T-Mac to hit a 3

Or at least be able to get a shot up. :tu

[Paulie]

TMAC too passive, Shoot a 3 homie

[TheGoldStandard]

McGrady could have finished..

[m33p0]

:lmao so now Tim is a scrub that pop plays in garbage time now?

need someone to keep the ship sailing straight.

[JingleJangleJingle]

wow Pop absolutely neutered Tracy McGrady...

[milkyway21]

sit Duncan now !

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:lmao so now Tim is a scrub that pop plays in garbage time now?

Yeah, was thinking the same thing. :lmao

[timtonymanu]

See that graphic Shaq? That's right, GO FUCK YOURSELF!

:lol Chuck called it perfectly. Green and Leonard had huge games and the Spurs won.

[wut]

lmao TNT to viewers, "please don't leave...damnit Spurs!"

[icango]

tmac doesnt to shoot. wtf

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice call


Like Jarrett Jack, I've seen him play quite a bit in Portland.

[ontheraise]

You guys think Duncan can pass 157? I think we get 1 more year from him. he just need 15 more playoff games he ''ll have 9 more this year :)

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Someone from our crowd just shouted out "fuck you Bonner!!!" :lol

[m33p0]

lazy eyes ought to have shot that one himself.

[$pursDynasty]

anybody else surprised Mark Jackson brought in the bench so early given this series late game collapses?

[Libri]

Man, I wanted TMac to make that shot!!

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice block to close it out!

[KaiRMD1]

End result: Spurs pounce that ass!!!!

[Raven]

:lol @ spurstalk thinking tmac can contribute or deserves more minutes than a cheerleader

[TheGoldStandard]

Damn McGrady with the assist and the block.. Finally

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

T Mac showing good athleticism with the assist and block!

[velik_m]

:hat

[milkyway21]

:flag: :cheer: :gpower:

[bklynspursfan]

Someone from our crowd just shouted out "fuck you Bonner!!!" :lol

LMAO!!!!

[Captivus]

GOOD WIN!!! YEAH!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Honestly, T Mac showed good athleticism, he isn't that old, younger than Ginobili and Duncan. Seriously, what's the worst that could happen with him being the backup SF behind Leonard? If he sucks, then take him out, but I thought he looked good there!

[tim_duncan_fan]

Just saw TP had the double-double! NICE!

[TheGoldStandard]

Gotta close this shit out on Thursday

[Paulie]

:lmao that TMAC shot took forever to come out. I wanted that to go in lol

[m33p0]

anybody else surprised Mark Jackson brought in the bench so early given this series late game collapses?

yup. preacher called it quits too early.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Damn fine win. Got it done in the 3rd, came out strong in the 4th, then stopped their run in its tracks at 6pts, and finally broke the game open.

Props Spurs, that's how we do it! :toast

[KaiRMD1]

Looking at that graphic, it looks like another prime match up in the WCF too bad TNT won't have it, FUCK!!!!!

[01Snake]

Game Ball: Danny Green

[Crookshanks]

Great game Spurs! Thanks for bringing the energy and intensity! :flag:

[Uriel]

To think we could've been moving on to the Conference Finals by now.

[freetiago]

great way to end the game
Mcgrady shitting on Jefferson
he already had more blocks in tonights game then Neal has had in his entire nba career
and his vision was good and passing on point

[BatManu20]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BKR0xgZCEAA-KqO.jpg

[timtonymanu]

Good bounce back, Spurs. Just close it out on Thursday. No Game 7's please.

[capek]

To think we could've been moving on to the Conference Finals by now.

Debby Downer :td

Seriously though...

[tim_duncan_fan]

Wardell Thompson only scored 13 points!!!!!

[team-work]

Well done.:toast

[aal04]

How is Manu's health? He had a bump in the game no?

[howbouthemspurs]

Glad to see TMAC get on the Stat sheet!

[therealtruth]

To think we could've been moving on to the Conference Finals by now.

Exactly. Pop wanted too much Neal, Bonner, and small ball. Amazing what happens when he's more selective.

[Brunodf]

Genius adjustament by Pop there: Played big ball in the 2nd half.

[ace3g]

http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/8950/spursplayoffs2013update.png

[LittleCriminal]

He didn't even see the floor yet..

but when he did..
guess what.... he sucked.

[Brunodf]

How is Manu's health? He had a bump in the game no?
Well, he played better after the bump

[milkyway21]

Spurs 47.6 % from the 3pt line (10-21) :tu that's what I'm talking about...

[Beaverfuzz]

u called it

Like I said to the other person who quoted me, I've seen him and Jack play in Portland quite a bit...Patty is a mini mini microwave, he's not up to Vinnie Johnson status yet. :)

[timtonymanu]

To think we could've been moving on to the Conference Finals by now.

I hate to root for OKC, but I hope they win Game 5 to stretch their series with Memphis :lol.

But the Spurs have to close this out Thursday.

[dbreiden83080]

Great win all the way around with almost everyone contributing..

Go Spurs!!

[Killakobe81]

Pop tells his haters ....
Shhhhhhhhhhhh

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What a satisfying win! Leonard, Green and TP were the difference, but don't underestimate the contributions of Splitter and Diaw in the second half with Timmy a shell of himself.

The starters looked great in the 1st half, opened up a nice lead, then that Bonner/Neal lineup we all despise gave most of it back.

Both teams came out strong in the 3rd Q but Pop kept the Disaster Twins on the bench and the Spurs emerged the stronger with Splitter and Diaw playing well.

Then came the 4th Q - a run by us, a run by them, then another run by us that broke their will, game over. Love it!

Well done San Antonio SPurs - you showed your mettle tonight. :toast

[DPG21920]

So proud of TP. Played like a star. Kawhi & Danny were fantastic. Still some concerning areas but overall they took care of business.

[m33p0]

:wow Damn who's that? lol
apparently, her name is ashley logan. found another pic.

[Arcadian]

Finally we get a decisive victory against these scrubs. Spurs are clearly the better team. This is what happens when they don't shoot 36% from the field.

Close this shit out on Thursday.

[timtonymanu]

Pop tells his haters ....
Shhhhhhhhhhhh

He still made some terrible coaching decisions. I won't count out him playing Bonner/Neal during Game 6 again.

[dbreiden83080]

1 more win and back to the WCF..

Lets go...

[Mugen]

Please close this team out in Game 6. We've outplayed them the last 3 games.

End this shit.

[james evans]

when i look at games and don't come up here to post during them, we win big. it's superstition for me. as for curry and thompson, i told everyone these guys will hit 3's if we don't step up on the picks or leave them open. klay and curry without picks look like average players against defense. stay at home and make guys like jack, green, bogut, and landry beat us. don't double. really easy. i see pop reads the forums and started to listen to us. plus curry's defense is as bad as parker's. parker and ginobli are gonna kill me with these unnecessary turnovers. thank God for richard jefferson. as soon as he gets in the game he misses a freethrow, commits a foul giving up a 3 point play, turns it over, and misses a shot. i feel sorry for warriors fans.

[timtonymanu]

Who has ever hated on Kawhi??? He's a freakin awesome player, getting better by the minute, and he should have a much bigger role on offence.

Only morons would hate on Kawhi. :nope

Some people kept saying George Hill is outplaying him, Harrison Barnes is better than him, Kawhi is overrated etc. Klay Thompson has been a non-factor since Game 2 all because of Kawhi, tbh.

[james evans]

Some people kept saying George Hill is outplaying him, Harrison Barnes is better than him, Kawhi is overrated etc. Klay Thompson has been a non-factor since Game 2 all because of Kawhi, tbh.
he's been a non factor cuz pop told players to stay with him and don't leave him no matter what

[TampaDude]

Finally we get a decisive victory against these scrubs. Spurs are clearly the better team. This is what happens when they don't shoot 36% from the field.

Close this shit out on Thursday.

WERD...Spurs get a double-digit lead in the 4th in Game 6 and the Warriors will fold.

Spurs in 6.

[jbspurs]

but when he did..
guess what.... he sucked.

It's true, but you can't really put a blame on someone who was not given a chance to play. Remember, Blair can be effective on a defender who stands less than 7' tall. BTW, I am not Blair fan, I just want to share my opinion.

[milkyway21]

Don't be too over-confident Spurs. The momentum is in your hands now.

WIN THE NEXT ONE. FINISH THIS IN GAME 6 !

[LittleCriminal]

It's true, but you can't really put a blame on someone who was not given a chance to play. Remember, Blair can be effective on a defender who stands less than 7' tall. BTW, I am not Blair fan, I just want to share my opinion.

Blair has had plenty of seasons to prove he can be an effective...but yet still rides the pine.
I am in no way blaming him from anything other than sucking.

[Arcadian]

Conference finals should be very good matchups this year. The Spurs and Griz will have a rematch of 2011, while the Pacers gave the Heat a scare last year.

[Sean Cagney]

LETS GET ER DONE ON THURSDAY BABY!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE SPURS!!!!!!!!!!

[BackHome]

Tmac one less rebound then Green and Parker and he only played four minutes.

[playblair]

334509771090706432

[Mugen]

^fuck you RJ.

[TampaDude]

LOL @ HWSNBN...get back to your own team, dorkus!

[Sean Cagney]

Blair has had plenty of seasons to prove he can be an effective...but yet still rides the pine.
I am in no way blaming him from anything other than sucking.

What about his 15 foot flip shot from the top of the key! THE RUNNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blair loves that shot!

[m33p0]

one thing i've noticed in this game and part of game 4 is that the spurs were moving the ball a lot better and consequently getting better looks. and since the spurs are one of the tops in fg%... it's just a matter of time before the next blow out.

[jbspurs]

Blair has had plenty of seasons to prove he can be an effective...but yet still rides the pine.
I am in no way blaming him from anything other than sucking.


I am not sure, but Blair seems to drag his leg a lot more than he used to. I think he's hurt and just don't want to show or admit it. Maybe due to fear that he might not get any contract offer... Kinda like Sam Bowie hiding the injury coming into the league.

[SpurPadre]

334509771090706432

I can't believe that actually happened. At worst, it was probably just them messing around with him. It's not in their DNA to act that way. It's funny, but it's just not the Spurs way. Stak5 would do that but not the REAL Spurs team.

[Two10Whitey]

I heard Jarret Jack pushed the Coyote during a skit or something. He's mad lol.

[spurs10]

I heard Jarret Jack pushed the Coyote during a skit or something. He's mad courtlol.

Coyote was jumping from each letter in center court having the crowd spell S P U R S! Jack was standing on the "R" and the Coyote jumped right on him.
Don't know if it was intentional though. :lol

[james evans]

^fuck you RJ.
i like jefferson now. when he's in the game, i know we are due for a quick run.

[TampaDude]

i like jefferson now. when he's in the game, i know we are due for a quick run.

:lol

[bklynspursfan]

Usually, I feel like a W is a W regardless of the score. But I think we need to win convincingly. Can't have another down to the wire game.

Sweet... :ihit

[team-work]

No matter how far this year's Spurs will go in the playoffs, this game provided almost anything a fan wanted. Good defense, ball movement on offense, key role players stepping up and hitting big shots, finishing the game strong, even 3rd string players looking at least respectable. Just wish this trend would keep up.
