1.

Believe.

[vander]

Parker's hammy going to tear, Manu going to retire... relax Miami, this will be easy ;)

[Budkin]

Fuck the Heat... win by 36 again.

Suck a dick

[LakerHater]

Not too early?

[RD2191]

:lmao @ all the Manu fanboys. I thought Kobe slurpers were bad, but damn.

[Strategic]

Many people may believe that the Spurs only real chances are dependent on the Heat's own volatile nature. I don't believe this, but it wouldn't matter to me one F.............ing bit.

Game 5, series tied 2-2. This is what it's all about.

Believe

[baseline bum]

Just can't believe the Spurs are in this position, two wins from a championship, in fucking 2013.

[ducks]

please tp stay healthy not get tired and play 44 minutes

[superjames1992]

We better win or we are screwed, tbh. Per par.

[eds]

just win :ihit

[dbreiden83080]

Not feeling very good about it but


Go Spurs..

[m33p0]

TD going Leonidas on these Persian Heatles

[TheGoldStandard]

I actually think the Spurs will have a complete game and I hope that is enough with Lebron going HAM. I don't think Wade will go lights out but he'll have a decent game. Just have to maintain.

[ElNono]

:flag: Go Spurs Go :flag:

[MAx_Eric]

GO SPURS GO!!!!

Hope pop can bench Tiago for Diaw/Blair

I lost all my confidence in him already

Diaw needs to be active, not passive!!

And Manu plays P N R with Blair is the best!!

Green/Neal please hit more 3ssssss and KL needs to be a beast on James!!

TP-->hope your injury doesnt affect u at least this week!!After this week, you can go full recovery!!

[spurs10]

Love these time-travel threads! Spurs win!!!! :flag:

[dallasmaverickslose]

LOOK OUT MIAMI

[Sean Cagney]

please tp stay healthy not get tired and play 44 minutes

WE NEED THIS!

[dg7md]

I have a very bad feeling about this game. I want to believe but I just can't shake it.

I know winners of game 3 win it most of the time (almost every time but once since 1985 I believe), but this would mean it's classic for the Spurs to get backdoor swept in that way.

I think the Spurs will trail 3-5 points for most of the game and then fail to score in the final minutes and becomes a blowout.

:depressed

[playblair]

GO SPURS GO!!!!

word blair/manu PNR = legit........................

ElNono (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=8054) can acquiesce this ..................

[ElNono]

If they can block a 7ft so easily, I'm not sold Blair can do much at all... but if Tiago is scared of the situation again, and Diaw is having one of those menstruation games, I can see Pop with the knee-jerk DeJuan reaction...

[Budkin]

Just don't turn the fucking ball over and our chances are great.

GAME 5 will be an epic game because if Manu Ginobili will retire next year (I hope he wont), IT WILL BE THE BIG 3's LAST GAME TOGETHER IN SAN ANTONIO.


LET IT BE ONE BIG, MEMORABLE ONE SAN ANTONIO. WIN OR LOSE, PLS STAY CLASSY!
http://www.letsplayballtickets.com/content/uploaded/NBA/Spurs.jpg

I will not say goodbye, but THANK YOU for the awesome years, being a fan of your amazing trio! My time here was not wasted. :toast

[BillMc]

Huge game. Spurs got this.

:flag:

[ViceCity84]

Likely the last Nba finals home game for the Duncan-Manu-Parker-Pop core.Go out and get the win.
They''ll probally get blown out in game 6 to follow and then lose a heartbreaker in game 7.

[benefactor]

Regardless of the outcome, it's been a great ride. I'm honored to view in person what will likely be the last finals game for the Big 3. Get this one game.

[Baam]

TMAC TMAC TMAC! Need someone who is fresh to save the second unit. The passing with a TMac Bobo Manu second unit would be incredible tbh.

[99 Problems]

Heat gave everything in game 4. They're spent. Spurs to take over from here.

^ this, tbh

Miami shot their wad in Game 4. The Spurs just have to take care of the ball and they win Game 5 comfortably. :hat

[Prime Time]

Who would have guessed that in the NBA Finals, The youngins like Green, Leonard, and Neal stepped up. But it was the future HOFers that let us down
That is unless they pull their finger out and play like real leaders. So far, none of the Big 3 can average more than 16 a night. :depressed GSG! :flag:

[Prime Time]

To be fair.... something gives me the vibe TD/Manu/TP will wake up tonight. Now that the finals is coming to an edge, I think they finally realize that this could be their last shot and need to give everything they got. Manu's article supports that prediction as well... tbh. If they do play well, lets hope Green/Leonard/Neal can hit their shots so SA can pull out the W!

[Keepin' it real]

I'll be honest. I was emotionally flat for Game 4. I can't explain it, but I just sat there on my couch. A few "golf claps" in the first half, but that's about it. I didn't bring it emotionally, plus I didn't BBQ before the game (Spurs 2-0 when I BBQ, 0-2 when I don't ... see food thread for more), so I take responsibility for my part of the losing effort.

But today, I'm bringing my emotional "A" game for the last NBA Finals home game ever for the Spurs' Big Three. And even though I'm eating a turkey dinner at my brother's house in the late afternoon, I'm still coming back home and firing up the BBQ pit on a full stomach. Can't leave anything to chance ... superstition or not.

Niiiice...That's true fan dedication!

[EVAY]

You guys that are lucky enough to be at the game tonight - MAKE THE FANS IGNITE!!!!!!

If anybody knows the coyote-even thought he probably doesn't need to be reminded - this is the last game in San Antonio of a wonderful wonderful season - make sure the crowd knows it and lets the refs and the Heat know it.

AT&T CENTER ROCKS TONIGHT!!!!!!!!

Just bought my ticket! I will do my part! Gonna leave my vocal cords on the court tonight (or at least up in section 206)! I will bring the full force of my will to my efforts to cheer for the Spurs tonight! I will leave spent, and they will leave victorious! GSG!!!

That's what we need. Go for it!!

[Trifecta]

I am convinced the Spurs have beat themselves (turnovers) in past games instead of the Heat beating them!
Tonigt's game will be the closest game of all played in this finals so far!

Pop will yank Splitter's butt early if needed!

Spurs will limit their TO's and play better tonight and win game 5!!!!!

Heat in control. Cruise on Spurs easly

Spurs are so predictable. Smh. Bad move imo. Play big stay big.

Don't like the move, tbh.

[milkyway21]

Duncan, Manu, Parker, Kawhi, & Green ? all of those who did not play vs Miami in Nov $250K game :)

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Good adjustment IMHO - Manu needs to come to play this game or we're in big trouble. Time for him to hop in a time machine and bring some 2005-2011 Manu to this series.

[polandprzem]

damn smallball

interesting.

Yes.

[MeloHype]

Fuck small ball

[ace3g]

So BSPN thinks Game 4 was the game that showed the Heat they are better than Spurs...

[crc21209]

1. Just take care of the ball.
2. Just defend aggressively.
3. Just rebound the basketball.
4. Just move the ball and make shots.
5. Tim, Tony, and Manu....Just give us a vintage Big 3 performance.
6. Just bring it for 48 minutes.
7. Just let the crowd feed you with energy.
8. Just stay calm and play Spurs basketball.
9. Just give it your all for the last home game of the season.
10. JUST WIN.

Go Spurs Go!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Okay, this one is for all the marbles. C'mon Spurs, turn up and play like there's no tomorrow.

My prediction: just like the Horry game - we'll look done and dusted before a gritty comeback and a legendary performance from a role player late in the game. I'm going with Leonard as that guy tonight. :D

:flag:

[milkyway21]

if it won't work adjustments can be made in the 2nd half

You have to play small ball when your 7footer doesn't create a mismatch.

[BillMc]

Let's go Spurs!!!

[Captivus]

Timmy's face, lol

So you are saying HIS dick is bigger than mine!!??

[Raven]

Pop should have started Bonner just for trolling purposes, tbh.

nice one :lol

[AASATX]

Agree, were use to it by now that's for sure.

No pregame introductions?

[superjames1992]

No pregame introductions?
Screw ESPN, tbh.

[MannyIsGod]

Manu is going to have his best game of the season tonight. Lets do this.

[Nathan89]

:lol people that want to start splitter. Has no one to guard, can't score, can't rebound, leads to transition points,...

Not on fire from 3 in warmups: Manu Ginobili. Just watched him miss three straight. Means nothing, but overanalysis is fun in the Finals.

[crc21209]

WTF no player introductions on TV? Weak :td I bet if this game were in Miami they would show it..

[200 miles]

If only the crowd started chanting "Deshi Basara". :ihit

I think so too :tu

[Small Fundamental]

I like our chances.

Well I've seen the opposite plenty of times. I've seen Manu drain 90% of his 3s in shootaround only to have a horrific shooting performance the following night.

[milkyway21]

shit the waiting is killing me...

off to work now, Monday morning here.... :flag:

[Libri]

Manu starting

[BatManu20]

I wish Manu wasn't starting... this didn't work last year either. Come on Pop.

[loveforthegame]

Go Spurs!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Manu!

[MannyIsGod]

And it begins...

[davidbowie]

OMG WE'RE GONNA WIN MANU!!!!!!!!!!!

[BatManu20]

Don't foul on jump shots dammit!!!! So stupid

[crc21209]

Right off the bat a weak foul...

[timtonymanu]

Damn it, it was a 2.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu made one! Yay!

[Budkin]

Fuck Leonard

[Kidd K]

I don't have a good feeling going into this game. Parker's hammy, Manu's decline, and the odds Green and Neal won't be able to keep it up are too high.

Very worried this time.

[Spurs Brazil]

great pass Manu

[loveforthegame]

Sweet cut Green.

[Juggity]

Green with a smart cut

[AASATX]

Hopefully this is just the start of things to come from Manu tonight.

[AASATX]

Duncan!

[Spurs Brazil]

Timmy dunk!!!!!!!!!!!

[BatManu20]

Wade came to play again. Shit!

[loveforthegame]

Timmy!!

[lefty]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

[MeloHype]

Timmy!

[Juggity]

Duncan and Manu want this shit bad

[Raven]

love to see manu going at it from the start

[Budkin]

Manu baby!

[soxxx]

Lets go spurs!!!

[ffadicted]

Gino lookin goooood

[Spurs Brazil]

bs call, fuck

[Raven]

edit

[BatManu20]

Refs dominating

[Budkin]

Damn

[Budkin]

All ball

[timtonymanu]

Stupid turnover

[Juggity]

Hope that hit knocks Wade off his game

[BatManu20]

Danny Green with his typical shitty passing. Wake up kid.

[Budkin]

Lolbron

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Anyone feel a vintage Manu game coming up? I feel an 18/6/5 kinda game. He looks locked in.

[BatManu20]

DAnny Green gtho man. Terrible start by him.

[Budkin]

Green ugh

[Juggity]

KL!

[loveforthegame]

Lets go Spurs.!

[Budkin]

Green was fouled

[ffadicted]

Where is the crowd tbh?

[Budkin]

More block city

[BatManu20]

Danny Green is already having the worst game of the series.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Manu. :tu

[Juggity]

Manu's been practicing his shot

[Budkin]

Manuuuu

[davidbowie]

go spurs go u fuckin fucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AASATX]

Manu!

[The_Coyote]

GINOBILI!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We know Danny can't finish... I wish he'd stick to what he's good at.

[soxxx]

This is going to be a hard game for sure.

[MannyIsGod]

Thank you for coming back, Manu. Thank you.

[timtonymanu]

I wonder if Manu's first shot will be reviewed. Should be 15-12, tbh.

[Baam]

We're hot but too many TOs and we're not turning them over

[SpurSwag]

I thought Tony said he felt good...he looks awfully slow

[RD2191]

Pop's timeouts are are fukin retarded momentum killers.

[lefty]

Johny Billy, bitches

[polandprzem]

fuckin turnovers :pctoss


We should be up by 10 !!!!

Defense not where it should as well .... :(

[jestersmash]

Manu with an all-nba caliber start.

[Captivus]

I like Green trying to dunk, the problem is the refs will never give him a foul

[Darius McCrary]

There has to be a fucking way of stopping Miami turning every missed spurs shot into a fast break.

Every single time we miss a shot, its essentially a turnover against this team.

[unleashbaynes]

any time Wade or James takes it inside and gets denied it's a foul, anytime we get aggressive in transition we get nothing......fuckin screw job

[crc21209]

I wonder if Manu's first shot will be reviewed. Should be 15-12, tbh.

They didnt do the review gesture with their hand. Hopefully they don't review it...:lol

[MeloHype]

Anyone noticed the heat keep pushing our players

[BatManu20]

Thank you God Manu for showing up. Now wake the F up Danny Green.

[Raven]

I like Green trying to dunk, the problem is the refs will never give him a foul

he was way too far to dunk, it was a silly monkeyball decision tbh.

[Budkin]

Stupid blocked shots and missed dunks.

[Darius Bieber]

Manu is looking great. Green doesn't have a good start. Neal may provide a nice spark. Take away the turnovers, and this is an okay start.

[thunderup]

3 questionable calls in favor of Miami already. Good luck Spurfan

[MannyIsGod]

They didnt do the review gesture with their hand. Hopefully they don't review it...:lol

They missed it during the first dead ball so they can't review it anymore.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Solid start.

Thank the Universe Manu has shown up - we need a big game from him, and a 20-15 from Timmy.

[MannyIsGod]

WTF Neal.

[timtonymanu]

Damn it, they reviewed it.

[Darius Bieber]

They did review. They took a point off.

[BatManu20]

Neal.....

[MannyIsGod]

They missed it during the first dead ball so they can't review it anymore.

Well nevermind.

[WeNeedLength]

Neal :pctoss

[Splits]

Every fucking call goes against us

[SpurSwag]

these refs...

[Baam]

Doesn't look that good for us, Miami looks pumped and goes to the line every time

[BatManu20]

It seems like we should be blowing them out. We're going to be in foul trouble by half time.

[Rev Hill]

any time Wade or James takes it inside and gets denied it's a foul, anytime we get aggressive in transition we get nothing......fuckin screw job

Exactly. If wade or lebron in exact same play there would be 3 whistles blowing a a ref asking them if they are ok? Just happened again on Neal. Ever heard such a quick whistle??? Lol
