[timvp]

Let's see if Bowen can lock up MJ.

:drunk

[RobinsontoDuncan]

Mj?

[xcoriate]

:lmao timvp

[Jimcs50]

Bowen>>>>>>>>>MJ

[RashoFan]

Hey guys.....

[Jimcs50]

I have lost my last 7 bets on Mysportsbook.com and am down to my last $50 in my account(I had $600)...I have the Spurs -5 tonight....so if they lose, you guys can blame me...cuz my luck this weekend blows.

:depressed

[sandman]

Let's see if Bowen can lock up MJ.

:drunk


Watch out. You're gonna have the Pistons fans dredging up how BB raped Rip, bitch slapped Prince and threw down on Kid Rock, all without the refs seeing any of it.

[RashoFan]

I didn't know Finely has Chicago ties..

[RashoFan]

Argintines? is that right?

[manubili]

Keep it detailed, please!

(Or you'll have a personal visit of a member of The Argentine Maffia. :makemyday )

[RashoFan]

Dick stockton said first time for 3 ArgenTINES to play in same game....I was wondering if that is correct pronounciation? I thought is was Argentinians....

[RashoFan]

Rasho with 2!!!!!

[milkyway21]

Ramadan is over. Rasho is starting.

who is the official starter of the Spurs team?

Rasho or Nazr?

[Spurs košarka kultura]

This question is probably ridiculously late, but can someone please tell me "Are You Ready For This" is nothing more than a bad and distant memory. (and yes I know this isn't a home game)

[spursupporter]

manu ginobili is finally alive

[carina_gino20]

Manu's 2/2 from 3-pt range

[angel_luv]

Rasho with 2!!!!!


You saw it to, eh Sis?

High five =)

[Jimcs50]

Spurs are hot...6 straight baskets....even Rasho made a hook shot.

[angel_luv]

Manu's 2/2 from 3-pt range


He's back! =)

[Jimcs50]

He's back! =)


I did not know he was gone?????

[RashoFan]

You saw it to, eh Sis?

High five =)
Yes....high five....

[Mavs<Spurs]

Good. I have a high degree of confidence that we will come away with the win. It may be close, being at Chicago, but Tony, Tim and most importantly Manu are all playing well.

What I loved about Tony on the break was that he was under control and did not overpenetrate and turn the ball over.

Also, some great assists by Tony.

Much smarter play by Tony Parker, consistent with what we have seen so far this year.

Defense is better, not perfect.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Tony's form on that last jumpshot looked much better, even though he was fouled.

[RashoFan]

Ramadan is over. Rasho is starting.

who is the official starter of the Spurs team?

Rasho or Nazr?
UFN..Rasho is...as far as I know..

[sandman]

Where did ESPN.com drag up that profile pic of Rasho in their Gamecast? Looks about 17 and around 125 pounds.

[angel_luv]

But he's smiling =)

[milkyway21]

Many branded Nocioni as a dirty player but defensively is good.

i just want Manu to come out better today than Nocioni. that 2 straight 3s mean something. Manu is alive:elephant

[RashoFan]

My Brother is Rooting for the Bulls since we are from Chicago originally...But I am rooting for the SPURS...how about that for sibling rivalry?

[angel_luv]

Okay I will be back at half time. =)

[Jimcs50]

This Bulls game is backwards...usually the backcourt scores the lion's share of the points and the frontcourt just plays D and rebounds...tonight the frontcourt has scored every point.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Missed jumper by Tony, does not matter, his form is good.

That will yield good results.

We all know what good form is in a jumpshot.
You can't expect consistent results unless you have consistent form.

Square body up toward goal. Toes pointed toward rim. Step into the shot , bending your legs at your knees, with emphasis upon your legs moving through the shot. Left hand guiding, right hand doing the shooting. Aim at the back of the rim, giving plenty of arc and rotation on the ball.

That's good form. That's why I have had a consistent j ever since high school. It's money.

[RashoFan]

Timmy with 10pts in 9 mins

[sandman]

But he's smiling =)


Goes to show that love conquers all! :elephant

[slayermin]

Can I switch over to the Indy-NE game now?

[TDMVPDPOY]

duncan is in godmode now!!! yay

[milkyway21]

[/B]Robert Horry made 3-pt. Jump Shot (7 PTS), Assist Tony Parker (3 AST)[B]

:elephant

[RashoFan]

Nice rebound by Manu

[Jimcs50]

The Spurs put the hammer down defensively after the first 6 mins.

Chicago scored just 6 pts the last 6 mins. :smokin

[Mavs<Spurs]

Our defense looks better.
Our offense looks better.

Things are looking promising. Doesn't mean that the Bulls won't come back and make it close and competitive, but it should mean that when the buzzer sounds the Spurs will have more points on the board.

Even Jordan's Bulls lost games.

[RashoFan]

That short jumper by Nazr...he looked very serpentine when he took it...Does he always look like that when he shoots?

[sandman]

That short jumper by Nazr...he looked very serpentine when he took it...Does he always look like that when he shoots?

you mean when he can hold onto a pass?

[milkyway21]

Okay I will be back at half time. =)Pops substituted Rasho with Nazr and suddenly Angel Luv decided to come back later too! :lol

[Jimcs50]

Manu for his 3rd 3!!!

[kolko]

Manu 3!

[yeahone]

5-6 on 3 points thats good so far

[RashoFan]

I guess Manu heard about Pop thinking about sitting him down/out for this game...Manu is saying Hell No in the way only Manu can do....

[carina_gino20]

all manu's points come from 3-pt range..go manu

[RashoFan]

Horry... In AJ's voice..I will not be mishandled.....

[RashoFan]

Where is Solid D? No comments/ input?

[milkyway21]

I guess Manu heard about Pop thinking about sitting him down/out for this game...Manu is saying Hell No in the way only Manu can do....i think Manu visited this forum and read this thread :

"What the Hell's Wrong with Manu?"


:lmao

[Jimcs50]

Why is Malik Rose taking a 3 point shot???

[Solid D]

Is everybody else too lazy tonight or what? :)

[Jimcs50]

Spurs are sucking big dicks in this Q.

[Mavs<Spurs]

I predicted Bulls would get between 91 and 95 points. This is going to be close. $50 vbookie bet.
Hmm.

[carina_gino20]

offensive foul by manu?

[RashoFan]

Is everybody else too lazy tonight or what? :)
I am not as GOOD as you...not even close.... :lol

[Mavs<Spurs]

Didn't see that myself.

You didn't either?

[Jimcs50]

I predicted Bulls would get between 91 and 95 points. This is going to be close. $50 vbookie bet.
Hmm.

I bet on that same point spread. :smokin

[Solid D]

For those unable to see the Dallas Stars tonight on Fox Sportsnet, they lead Edmonton after 1 period. 2-0 :smokin

[ploto]

Nazr: 6 minutes-- 3 fouls

[Mavs<Spurs]

It seems to me like the refs are calling a whole lot more offensive fouls this year.

[RashoFan]

Rasho is back in and I am padding my post counts.... :lol

[Jimcs50]

[thispego]

whats the word on barry?

[boutons]

Barry has lower back cramps.

[thispego]

Finley is this years barry....
from last year

[thispego]

Barry has lower back cramps.
that bastard

[ShoogarBear]

Finley is this years barry....
from last year

Hey, I said this a few minutes ago in chat. Are you plagerizing?

[ploto]

Nesterovic looks fantastic tonight.


I've been impressed with his willingness to put the ball on the floor and drive inside- drawing the defense and then kicking the ball out to someone on the perimeter who is open. It is skills like this I want to see him and the Spurs use.


man rasho is killin it, he wants his startin job back

I think he has it.

Sean said tonight that it will take Nazr a month or two to get into the right game shape and to catch up from all he missed-- especially all the plays he doesn't know.

[thispego]

hahaha, did you really? :lol
honestly i just sat down at the comp for ht

[atlfan25]

Finely Will Be Money

[thispego]

Sean said tonight that it will take Nazr a month or two to get into the right game shape and to catch up from all he missed-- especially all the plays he doesn't know.
that was an overexaggeration

[beirmeistr]

Good first half by Spurs. My boy Manu is very dynamic and he is hitting his threes. NVE played pretty good for an old man. Great ball distribution, great passing. Horry looks sharp also. Duncan is Duncan---dominating.

[thispego]

Finely Will Be Money
that he will

[spurs=bling]

what is the score?

[Solid D]

One good thing about Nazr tonight. He only pump-faked once before going up to score underneath the basket. That's a huuuuuge stride by him!

Sean Elliott says Barry's back started bothering him in Dallas and it's flared up again.

[Manu20]

Barry will not return in the second half (back spasms)

[Pistons < Spurs]

what is the score?


Spurs: 50
Bulls: 42

At the half.

[Marcus Bryant]

Man, I'm glad the Spurs are carrying only 4 swingmen this season.

[Solid D]

what is the score?

50-42 Spurs at halftime

[Ginofan]

hey mandy, supergino.com is down.. are you updating or sumthing?
Yeah I shut it down for now...


Ginofan...TD with a tongue ring? OMG!!!!
Lovely isn't it? :lol

Come on, Fin will be fine..you all forget his opening game already?

[loveforthegame]

I thought some home cooking would turn Finley's shooting around tonight. :depressed

I'm surprised Pop hasn't yanked him for chucking those shots up tonight. Is he doing something to keep him in there? If he comes back in tonight he shouldn't shoot unless he has a layup or dunk.

[RashoFan]

One good thing about Nazr tonight. He only pump-faked once before going up to score underneath the basket. That's a huuuuuge stride by him!
Yeah No Kidding!

[TDMVPDPOY]

We are not goin to the ft line that much for the last few games already, other teams are scared of the teams 75% from the line?

[milkyway21]

i wish the Spurs could cut down their TOs in the 2nd half.

8 to just 1 by Bulls is just to many:rolleyes

[Pistons < Spurs]

I need the Bulls to score 54-59 points in the second for my Vbookie....... :fro

[ploto]

that was an overexaggeration
I don't think so. Contrary to what people think, the Spurs actually have one of the most complicated play books and Nazr is way behind. There have been talks about how he doesn't know where to go in sets. I think I'll take Sean's word over yours.

[angel_luv]

how are you doing Angel_Luv?


I'm well. Wish I had a laptop so I could watch t.v. and be on here in the same room. =)

How thoughtful of you P< S.....SPURS=Bling....hope you feel better soon.

[carina_gino20]

pathetic (Nazr's miss)

[loveforthegame]

I know a few of his shots have come at the end of the shot clock but is there anyone other than Finley who can take it? Holy shit. 0-11?!!

[angel_luv]

Okay I am going to stay and watch.. things went better when I did. Maybe I'll see you guys during a commercial. If not, after. =)

Go Spurs go!

[ShoogarBear]

I think Nazr screwed up even on that play he got the tip-in. Horry was talking to him like he was out of position.

[leemajors]

this is terrible. duncan and parker better not sit for too long or we may be down by 10.

[kolko]

Finley 0-11 :(

[carina_gino20]

come' on manu, get it going!

[Joepa]

Finley is taking way too many shots. Dude has as many FG attempts as Duncan, except Duncan actually hit 8 of them.

[spurs=bling]

How thoughtful of you P< S.....SPURS=Bling....hope you feel better soon.


thanks Rasho Fan

he's just starting.

Go! Go Spurs!

[Pistons < Spurs]

Finley 0-11 :(


ouch........

[spurs=bling]

the Spurs are letting me down.

[Mavs<Spurs]

You can't leave Ben Gordon alone and lose him to attempt to get a rebound when you are a guard.

Manu must at least contest his shot.

[boutons]

Spurs outscored in both 2nd and 3rd qtrs.

[Joepa]

OMG Finley hit a three!

[RashoFan]

Fin for 3 :wow

[Pistons < Spurs]

C'mon Bulls.....need 28 points for Vbookie.....

[clooneyschick04]

Perfect timing Finley!

[TDMVPDPOY]

[Duncanoypi]

[Joepa]

Nazr didn't miss that dunk.

[Solid D]

NVE starts 4th posts up and out to Horry to Fin for 3 YES!!!!

Bulls drive baseline step on line.

Horry misses corner. Manu steals from Sweetney. to Nazr DUNK!!!!!

Deng fouled. 1 FT good. 74-69

[carina_gino20]

[loveforthegame]

About time. I guess if you shoot enough you'll eventually hit something.

[RashoFan]

Those are SOME thigh pads Manu has on!

[carina_gino20]

[TDMVPDPOY]

[MaNuMaNiAc]

[Joepa]

Nice pass by NVE to Nazr.

[RashoFan]

[carina_gino20]

Those are SOME thigh pads Manu has on!

yup. no wonder he's been limited the first 3 games.. hope he gets it going this quarter

[spurs=bling]

C'mon Bulls.....need 28 points for Vbookie.....


but i need them to win. i want to feel better.

[TDMVPDPOY]

great duncan in the game, now its OVER for the cows

[Mavs<Spurs]

Manu does all the things that are important regardless of his shooting any given night.
7 rebounds for a guard?

Finley must keep shooting. We must get him good looks.
NVE great passing again!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Manu with 5 TOs :(

[ploto]

I think those 4 minutes in the Dallas game woke Nazr up and he realized he better start busting his ass or he would be on the end of the bench.

[carina_gino20]

manu's shot selection is horrible.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Is Nocioni gay?

[Pistons < Spurs]

but i need them to win. i want to feel better.

I still want the Spurs to win! Just let them Bulls score!

[Solid D]

Fin drives and kicks to Manu in corner, baseline drive, fouled hard.

Fin pivots in lane, hook shot short. Horry fouls on reb.

Duncan replaces Horry.

Heinrich misses j, reb. NVE loop pass over top to Nazr, dropin layup.

Gordon to Sweetney short over Nazr, Manu drives and stripped, off Gino???

I guess so :(

Gordon dribbles on Bowen to Deng, leaner in lane, good. 76-71.

Gino rt. wing 3 from Tim, no, reb tipped by Tim, bounces off hands and 0/b off Bulls. :)

Scrum going on in lineup for inbounds. Heinrich grabs Gino and they see it. Foul.

Gino misses 1st FT. makes 2nd 77-71 8:56

[angel_luv]

Nazr can catch tonight! = )

[Mavs<Spurs]

Will the Bulls score 20 points in 9 minutes.

Frankly, I hope that they don't even though it will cost me vbookie money.

[Solid D]

Heinrich drives rt. and is fouled by Nazr. Timeout 77-71

[loveforthegame]

Finley must keep shooting. We must get him good looks.
NVE great passing again!

I have to assume Pop is telling him to shoot when open because I would think he'd yank him for chucking one up after another otherwise.

[Joepa]

Manu's getting some good minutes for being injured. 32 so far.

[Joepa]

Hinrich is a funny looking dude.

[carina_gino20]

what's up with manu's freethrow shooting?

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf is this bs the spurs are doin

[ShoogarBear]

Spurs are in full farting-around mode.

[Solid D]

2 FTs good by Heinrich. 77-73.

Duncan knocked down by Heinrich playing through screen. Foul.

Duncan turnaround fade off glass no good.

Heinrich screen roll to Chandler drives goes high and makes tough shot, falls down hard. Slow getting up

[TDMVPDPOY]

Hinrich is a funny looking dude.
frodo?

[Joepa]

Frick.

[RashoFan]

Ohhhh Sh*t

[carina_gino20]

[TDMVPDPOY]

nazr is savin the spurs from a collapse

[1Parker1]

I don't get it. I never thought we may lose a game in which Duncan, Parker, AND Ginobili would all be close to having a double double.....:(

[Cant_Be_Faded]

what's up with manu's freethrow shooting?

this worries me

[RashoFan]

Let's go Fin!!!

[spurs=bling]

nazr is savin the spurs from a collapse

[TDMVPDPOY]

[Ginofan]

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