Is anyone else seeing Tim getting mauled by Sweetney and nothing being called?

Yeah, I'm seeing that.

[Tek_XX]

Duncan, dare i say, is playing like crap right now.

[spurs=bling]

Ginofan were did you find that pic of tim?

[RashoFan]

Navy Pier looks pretty at night...

[Mavs<Spurs]

Tim has to establish good position and seal off his defender. We must keep getting him the ball with good passes (not at his ankles).

[Ginofan]

Yeah, I'm seeing that.

Now only if Salvatore would take his head out of his ass for 5 seconds, he could see it too.

[carina_gino20]

I don't get it. The Spurs left their defense in San Antonio.

[Ginofan]

Ginofan were did you find that pic of tim?

I captured it off a tv thing he did back when he first started in the league.

[spurs=bling]

:bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang

[TDMVPDPOY]

we are playin stupid now, this is fuck, i cant bothered to watch this, it be a shame if we lose this

[Ginofan]

Why isn't Oberto playing? Just curious.

[Joepa]

Tim gets mauled all game, and now they call a foul on him for barely touching sweetney.

Poop.

[Tek_XX]

Tim is not being aggresive, fadeaway hook bank shot, give me a break

[spurs=bling]

I captured it off a tv thing he did back when he first started in the league.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

This is bullshit. Our guys are all over the floor being mauled like hookers in a state penn. and we get nothing. You breathe on a bull and you get called for a foul. Seriously wtf!


now you know what it feels like when teams visit the SBC :fro


the nets already got ripped tonight by a home bias ref

[tim_duncan_fan]

let me guess tim is in sissy mode today isn't he? He's going to miss every shot unless no one is looking at him so we're having to depend on Nazr of all people. We're done for today folks I had a bad feeling about this game all day.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Predictions anyone?

[TDMVPDPOY]

why are we struggling to put away this madcow desease

duncan was off to a good start, now his just playin normal, give him more touches now...

[Cant_Be_Faded]

why has ginobili taken 9 threes?

[Tek_XX]

Ginofan, you get the calls when you're aggressive, our guys are a bunch of jump shooters tonight.

[carina_gino20]

crap.they're leading now

[Joepa]

Feed Tim The Ball

[sanman53]

[tim_duncan_fan]

what's going on folks? us spurs fans in mavland can't see the game

[Ginofan]

Ginofan, you get the calls when you're aggressive, our guys are a bunch of jump shooters tonight.

I'm talking obvious calls. I know the Bulls have been the more aggressive team hence more free throws. But when I can hear Tim being slapped on the arm, and nothing is being called? Come on man, that's not right.

[TDMVPDPOY]

duncan 6-6 ft line :D:D mr.perfect

[Pistons < Spurs]

Score Anyone? Im in Louisville working!

Tim inside dribbles and almost loses it, then does under legs straight to Nazr, DUNK! :elephant

89-87 Spurs lead

[Mavs<Spurs]

Did you see that?

What a pass!

:fro

[sanman53]

87-86 bulls 2:06 remaining

Thanks Bro!

[yeahone]

Nazr is a stud tonight

[Tek_XX]

Tim getting the ball slapped away finally works in our favor.

[Joepa]

what's going on folks? us spurs fans in mavland can't see the game

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/gamecast?gameId=251107004

[ShoogarBear]

Tim still hasn't learned to stop putting the ball down in traffic.

[mattyc]

Nazr!

[carina_gino20]

Why is Mahinmi included in the roster in sportsline.com?

[TDMVPDPOY]

td clutch performance now

[RashoFan]

Duhon fouled TP

[Solid D]

Deng curls inside off inbound and scores over Tim. Tied. 89-89.

TP at top fouled by Duhon trying to slap at ball.

TP 1st FT good. 2nd FT good 91-89. :elephant

[Mavs<Spurs]

Moment of truth.

Can Tony make at least one of these?

Yes, first.
Second, good.

[Solid D]

Deng drives Tim bothers and he misses. Tim loses reb. to Deng but Gino grabs it away.

TP drives to baseline, high archer short, Tim shoved in back by Chandler trying to reb. Chandler reb. instead.


Timeout. 24 sec. remain.

[Joepa]

Well, this should be a fun finish.

Bulls with the ball at the end of the game, but the Spurs get it back. Gotta sweat this one out.

[Tek_XX]

Can the spurs pull this out with all the brain farts

[RashoFan]

:bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang
That about sums up this Half.....

[Pistons < Spurs]

91-89 Spurs

24 seconds left..

[TDMVPDPOY]

man stupid plays down the stretch feed duncan th eball

[Mavs<Spurs]

We should get the last shot.

We need to d up.

If we're the best defensive team (tied with Detroit), we need to show it.

Skiles is a great coach and Chicago plays good defense too.

More exciting than I would like.

Hope our Spurs come through.

If they do, I may lie through my teeth and say I knew it all along.
:fro

[atlfan25]

That Son Of A Bitch

[Joepa]

Of all people.

You leave FRICKING BEN GORDON OPEN???

[slayermin]

Buzzer beater?

[TDMVPDPOY]

fuck what happen on that last play no one rebounded?

[mattyc]

Gordon scores.

Come on Spurs.

[ShoogarBear]

Ben Gordon is the new Reggie Miller.

Not in style, but in terms of when he makes his baskets.

[sanman53]

Are we playing well together yet? Im sure we have some kinks still, but just wondering what we looked like tonight. I watched the game against Cavs, we looked good, but wondering why we are not doing so well against the Bulls. Just askin...

[Tek_XX]

At least they're dumb enough to leave 16 seconds on the clock

[loveforthegame]

Who left Gordon opened?

[DieMrBond]

I had a funny feeling that was going to happen.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Okay, this is easy to call.

First, we must take the last shot. Don't shoot it prior to 2 seconds left (off rebound)

Manu at the top , pick set by Tim who rolls to the basket.

Just like against the Sonics last year.

Worst case scenario is overtime.

[Joepa]

In Manu We Trust

[TDMVPDPOY]

give duncan the ball or go ot, if we score defend the 3pt line

[atlfan25]

My Boi Finley Wants The Ball

[mattyc]

16 seconds left.

[Solid D]

Heinrich drives with Bowen on him, bothered by Bowen, misses. Fight for reb. o/b off Spurs. NOoooo. Chandler hit it, I think.

Gordon rubs off Chandler, rt. corner jumper from 18 swish. Tied 16.2 left. 91-91

[tim_duncan_fan]

this team is so good yet so dumb. how the hell do you leave ben gordon open? thats like putting only 3 guys on kobe in the final seconds of a game. we lose because of stupidity.

[Duncanoypi]

one shot please TD....pleeaaaaaaase....

[Joepa]

In Manu We Trust

Well my trust was shot to hell.

[JoeChalupa]

what the..

[angel_luv]

OT is our time baby!

[ShoogarBear]

Well, that sucked.

[RashoFan]

damn OT.....

[Cant_Be_Faded]

---i Smell A Turnover---

[clooneyschick04]

Come on Spurs!!! Where's the defense??? Overtime against the Bulls??

[carina_gino20]

:bang

[Mavs<Spurs]

Five more minutes. Harder to watch than to play.

Good defense by Bulls.

Manu at least did not give the Bulls a shot. Good job Manu. A mistake there could have cost us the game.

[Horry For 3!]

OT it is....

[Pistons < Spurs]

http://members.iinet.net.au/~chippy/sig.jpg


Nice Sig!!

[loveforthegame]

Spurs better take care of business in OT.

[Solid D]

Tim, Fin, Bowen, Gino and TP.

Bowen inbounds to Gino he dribbles and waits until 5 sec.

Drives around Heinrich and misses underhand with Chandler helping and defending.

No good. OT

[kolko]

Manu 1-9 FG in the second half

[TDMVPDPOY]

time for gino to step up, and td to take over, demand the ball more duncan no cow cant stop you

[Tek_XX]

It's time for the Spurs to get fuckin' serious

[tim_duncan_fan]

hey at least we haven't lost yet. PASS TIM THE FUCKING BALL. HE'S THE TALL BRIGHT GUY WITH THE NAPPY BABY FRO!

[Mavs<Spurs]

OT it is....

What do you think Horryfor3?

[Duncanoypi]

i said TD not manu...that sig will bee effective when June comes...dont be impatient...

[Pistons < Spurs]

C'mon Spurs DEFENSE. keep them Bulls between 96-100 points.

[Tek_XX]

A healthy dose of tim duncan here, i think we've gone away from him to much.

[Joepa]

Finley is playing a LOT.

Wonder if that's going to continue on into the season?

[mattyc]

Give the ball to NVE.

[leemajors]

man the spurs look awful out there, no motion offense since 1st quarter basically. barry needs to get his back straight and get finley's mins

[duncan2k5]

fin shooting like crap...we need to play spurs basketball now...

[atlfan25]

Give It To Finley And He Will Win It Singlehandedly

[Solid D]

Jump ball Tim and Chandler. Salvatore tosses.

Duhon ends up with it. Gordon left wing j, no good, Gino reb.

TP drives left side and is fouled.

1st FT good. 2nd FT good 93-91.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Great drive by Tony!

[carina_gino20]

defense guys..

[Joepa]

ALMOST a sweet dish from Parker to Finley. Too bad it went off a defender's foot.

[mattyc]

TP knocks down a pair of FTs. Good lad.

[kolko]

Manu double double, 14 pts 10 rebs

[sanman53]

I missed the first part of all of this, is Barry not playing? I didnt mean to make you repeat it, just saw where he and a few others are not playing. Hes not injured is he?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

is anyone else noticing that the effects of nve and finley on our defense has been disasterous?

[Joepa]

defense guys..

Doesn't seem like D is the focus so far this year. Not a good thing.

[atlfan25]

I Been Tellin Yall My Boi Finley Is Clutch

[RashoFan]

Finley for 3!!!!

[tim_duncan_fan]

[clooneyschick04]

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Doesn't seem like D is the focus so far this year. Not a good thing.

my thoughts exactly

[Mavs<Spurs]

Yeah Boy!!

Tony Parker is easily an all star.

No doubt!

[yeahone]

thats it parker 18pts and 9 assist

[spursupporter]

there go my bookie.....

[loveforthegame]

Finley sure has some timely shots in him that's for sure.

[angel_luv]

Props to Tony. Some very good plays tonight.

[tim_duncan_fan]

pass it to tim so he can finish this off.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Truth be told Tony Parker is in this game and has been so far this season our best player!

That's just the way it is.
:fro

[kolko]

Manu double double
Tim double double
TP 1 assist shy of a double double

[spursupporter]

1 more assist for parker and spurs will have 3 double-double

[Joepa]

my thoughts exactly

Hate to become to South Texas version of the Mavericks.

[atlfan25]

I Think If They Throw Some More Towels They Will Get More Calls

[TDMVPDPOY]

td is havin a field day with these cows rounding them up into the trailer

[mattyc]

TP is word.

[atlfan25]

Hate to become to South Texas version of the Mavericks.
spurs D is never top notch at the beginning

yall should relax the first month or so

[ShoogarBear]

Up next . . . the Barking Dog play!

[Solid D]

3:17 remaining in OT.

Duhon misses teardrop way short, airball almost. Sweetney cleans up luck and lays in.

TP drives kicks to Bowen in corner, 3 no good.

Sweetney misses short mid post but everyone standing around and Sweetney gets it.

Heinrich drives baseline blocked by Gino!!!

Fake timeout Play!!!! YES LAYUP BY PARKER!!!

[Joepa]

NICE Manu!

[RashoFan]

Gino with the swing and steal

[Tek_XX]

Is pop going to be mad at tony for that move

[TDMVPDPOY]

td only score 2 pts for the last quarter n this ot?? this is not good enough

[Joepa]

Pretty funny we caught the cows napping.

[tim_duncan_fan]

joepa dont jinx us like that. you have a point though. the mavs seem to be playing like the spurs used to. holding guys to 90 and under.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Wow!

Tony and Manu are smarter than the Bulls are tonight!

[angel_luv]

Hahaha Tony was trixy with that timeout fake. Good stuff! =)

[Joepa]

For the first time, TP looks like a true point guard. I've long considered him a shoot first guard who makes bad decisions, but something looks different this year.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Great job by the Spurs, Tony and Manu to Tim!

Money shot!

[Solid D]

Deng shoots rt. baseline no good. Reb. Tim, TP to Gino corner 3, no good.

Finley deflects and Bowen gets it!!!

TP long shot at top, no but Manu comes in from behind and takes it!!!

TP drives in pressure by Heinrich to Manu in corner, to Tim at FT line SWISH!!!!!!!! Timeout Bulls 102-95 with 41.3 left in OT

[loveforthegame]

Wow, just noticed that Manu is 3-10 behind the arc.

Go to Duncan and he shall deliver.

[kolko]

11 rebs for Manu. one shy of career high

[yeahone]

timmy is having a beast of a game 24pts 15 rebs 4 ass 5 blks and 2 stls

[Joepa]

joepa dont jinx us like that. you have a point though. the mavs seem to be playing like the spurs used to. holding guys to 90 and under.

Haha good call. I better shut up.

[Pistons < Spurs]

C'mon........I need one more point from the Bulls........

[RashoFan]

Is pop going to be mad at tony for that move
Hope not that was F*cking Awesome!!!!

[Joepa]

Place emptied out quick there in Chi town.

[kolko]

Manu career high in rebounds with 12.

[Joepa]

Phew! That was a close one.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

manu needs to be benched for the first month or something

[Tek_XX]

Tony's freethrows look awesome, that shooting coach may win us a couple games this year.

[carina_gino20]

Manu with 13 rebs!

[Solid D]

Heinrich inbounds back to Heinrich, quick wing j, no, Gino goes way high for reb. to TP and TP is fouled!!!

2 FTs good by TP!!! :elephant

[Mavs<Spurs]

Wow, impressive!

Cream rises to the top!

[angel_luv]

Whoosh there it is! = )

[Cant_Be_Faded]

^^manu homer =P

[Mavs<Spurs]

Yes Sir!

Got that one!

Vbookie money!

Woohoo!

[Solid D]

That's all folks.

[boutons]

Tony has become one fucking scary killer.

[Duncanoypi]

wohoooo...a great escape...monster line from Timmy...

[TDMVPDPOY]

good game, but this game shouldve been over b4 ot :(

duncan field day tonite 24pts 16rbs 5blks 4ass 2steals 9-15fg 6-6ft

[Nikos]

Those FTs that Parker made were the difference. Had he missed those I think it would have affected him the rest of the way. But its something that I keep re-mentioning -- if Parker can get to the line and MAKE FT shots in the clutch, it will do wonders for his confidence and overall scoring efficiency. Not only for himself, but for the team.

Keep up the FT shooting TP!

[angel_luv]

There's my Spurs! =)

[1Parker1]

..


<--------------------:elephant :elephant :elephant

I think I may just have to point to my avatar after every Spurs game until March!!!

[Mavs<Spurs]

That was a solid overtime!

No one is talking about somebody for the Bulls!

That means somebody guarded I mean shut down Ben Gordon!

That's solid!

[spursupporter]

ole ole ole

[spurs=bling]

:elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant
But too bad i'm gonna miss friday and saturday games

[Ginofan]

Seriously thank god that is over. I realize it's only the 4th game of the season, but damn that was ugly. The Three Amigos came through for us in the end though. Manu looked a hell of alot better tonight, even when he wasn't hitting the shots he was grabbing boards and playing awesome D. Tony is still amazing me with how much he's improved, way to go Tony.

Nazr looked decent tonight as well, 15 points in 10 minutes of PT..not bad at all!. Anyone know why Oberto didn't play? I hope Barry's back is alright, it would suck to lose him for a few games every now and then because of this back thing flaring up.

[yeahone]

that was another great game by tony seems to have improved his free throw shooting along with tim duncan

[Banks91]

2 Biggest Stats Right Now Standin Out For Me From Duncan Is The 4.3b And 4.3a Per Game In 4 Games. Add 3p And A Board To His Stats, Keep That Till The End Of The Season And U Pretty Much Got Ur Season Mvp

[DesiSpur_21]

:tu

I'd rather have close games like these on the road than blowouts (not that it doesn't drives me crazy when u give up big leads)

GSG

[Solid D]

Key moment in the game was with the Spurs up by 3 in OT, 98-95, Sweetney had just caught the Spurs standing around on loose reb. and got it. Manu blocked a baseline shot without fouling and then TP goes to time line and Pop is signaling timeout with hands in a "T". TP stops and everyone freezes and then TP takes it in and lays it in. That was a major stop and major score and basically did the Bulls in after that.

[DesiSpur_21]

Its just 16 more games Tony has to be consistent before haters stop talking abt his inconsistency or whatever

:lol

[yeahone]

till next time folks am out.

[boutons]

Manu alone was 3/10 3Gs. His shots were falling short.

Bulls went cold in OT, Spurs played hard and smart. whew

Robert fouled out in 13 minutes!! A rate of 23 fouls per 48 min!! :lol

[Kori Ellis]

Manu blocked a baseline shot without fouling and then TP goes to time line and Pop is signaling timeout with hands in a "T". TP stops and everyone freezes and then TP takes it in and lays it in. That was a major stop and major score and basically did the Bulls in after that.

That was sweet. The Bulls were all ready to walk to the sidelines.

[tim_duncan_fan]

what's possessed Tim and tony? 16/18 from the line tonight!

[Kori Ellis]

Manu's shot wasn't falling but he was attacking the glass and playing smart.

Tim's game was unbelievable. Bowen did an amazing job too. I'm not allowed to mention Parker because it's not 20 games into the season.

[Admidave50]

thanx to our new shooting coach!! ;)

[DesiSpur_21]

That was sweet. The Bulls were all ready to walk to the sidelines.

Spurs are Cheaters :lol

[boutons]

Tony looked fresh and cool walking off after the game. Amazing.

[boutons]

now we got 3 road games in 4 days.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Spurs are Cheaters :lol

More like pop punkd them instead

[boutons]

Michael was stone cold for the 3rd game in a row, 3/14 but hit a big shot in OT.

[angel_luv]

More like pop punkd them instead


Classic! By far my favorite play of the game. :lol

[DesiSpur_21]

Michael was stone cold for the 3rd game in a row, 3/14 but hit a big shot in OT.

Fin needs a lot of touches to get hot - he better shoot for 1/2 hr before the game and get ready because he is going to be the 3rd or 4th option depending on who is on the court.

[Solid D]

Classic! By far my favorite play of the game. :lol

That play with TP and the fake Timout is a PG option. The Spurs have had that play for years. You could tell TP was really trying to sell it because he pointed at Gino and Heinrich in the corner. That was just enough to make Heinrich look at Gino.

I've never seen it before. Good stuff. =)

[milkyway21]

good game, but this game shouldve been over b4 ot :(

duncan field day tonite 24pts 16rbs 5blks 4ass 2steals 9-15fg 6-6ftSportsline listing Duncan w/ 6 blocks. Which one is true?

:wow

[TDMVPDPOY]

Sportsline listing Duncan w/ 6 blocks. Which one is true?

:wow

5 - 6 blocks doesnt really matter, what matter was we won the game, and duncan had a hulk game, and currently his ave for bpg above 4

[1Parker1]

So Pop wanted that to happen?

[beirmeistr]

Scary moments at end of fourth quarter but Spurs played well in the o/t period. Monster game by Duncan. Parker got it going in the second half. He did a good job of distributing---9 assists. Manu cooled off in the second half but had an excellent defensive game and a double double. Nazr had a very good game. I think Spurs are giving Finley too many minutes right now.

[T Park]

They have done it before, so I believe it is.

[T Park]

I think Spurs are giving Finley too many minutes right now.

and give them to who?

Brent Barry was hurt.

[beirmeistr]

and give them to who?

Brent Barry was hurt.
Bruce Bowen. Does Horry play small forward? if so, Horry.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Horry is needed when duncan and rasho is out to balance teh frontcourt, switchin horry to sf is just takin away minutes and causing the frontline or rasho n nazr to play more minutes, and orberto still needs to know the system.

wHATS up with horry lately?? his became a foul magnet or sumthing

[T Park]

Horry does NOT play SF.

Bowen needs to be saved for the Playoffs for guys like Mcgrady Marion and others.

So status quo right now is OK.

[Solid D]

So Pop wanted that to happen?

Yes, it's an option. The PG's option.
