I've always had a level of respect for the Spurs from a distance. But naturally, my familiarity and love grew more since playing against them in the Finals, and joining SpursTalk. Without league pass, I only get to see the national telecast of Spur games. So this community gives me more contact with whats going on w/ your team. And the more I know about the Spurs, yes, the more I do like them!!!

Good idea...We will be playing you guys in June. Should be a great series, though the only ones watching will be true connoisseurs of TEAM Basketball, not the sycophants of LeBron and Kobe.

[Rummpd]

By the way has their ever been a Grizz fan trolling this site? Cannot remember one even in the Spurs playoff series with them?

[T Park]

I leaned over to my mom the other night and said, Ya know, I really cant say I dont like anyone on the Pistons.

Rasheed Wallace, yeah cause hes a big mouthed punk.

But I like, Rip, I like Chauncey, I think Tayshaun is a great guy.

I can't honestly say I don't NOT like anyone on their team. SO feeling is Mutual.


Looks like on League pass we get the home broadcast tonight.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Have they announced who the starters are for tonight officially? Manu? Fin?

[clooneyschick04]

Nothing to do with this game, but how have u been clooneyschick?


How are things at LSU??

[MI21]

I can't watch the game right now, I see Nazr is 0-3. Is this a case of him just pressing to hard because he is actually getting a chance? 4 rebounds in 6 minutes is very nice though. Also, check out the value of a defensive rebound =

8:22 MEM - M. Miller misses a 23-foot three-pointer from the right corner =

8:18 SA - N. Mohammed defensive rebound =

8:11 SA - B. Bowen makes a 23-foot three-pointer from the left corner. Assist: T. Duncan

How are things at LSU??

I've been well thanks. How about yourself?? How's school going?

I start school on Wednesday and I am more than ready to go back! :o)

[boutons_]

It took me 3 steps to confirm his limp, it's slight, but definite.

That's the PF. Damn, that's bad when it hurts even when he's warmed up.
Must be horrible when he cools off and tries to walk on it.

[ALVAREZ6]

I've been well thanks. How about yourself?? How's school going?

I start school on Wednesday and I am more than ready to go back! :o)
I've been well myself.



How many days was your break????

My first day back was the 2nd....such BS.

[clooneyschick04]

8:18 SA - N. Mohammed defensive rebound =


:tu Only three more and he'll tie Rasho's total for the Pistons game. :o)

[Rummpd]

Listening on auido pass - are the Spurs playing as hard as it sounds?

[Rummpd]

Listening on auido pass - are the Spurs playing as hard as it sounds?

[clooneyschick04]

Finley with a 3! 9 points for Fin!!

[ALVAREZ6]

Where's ChumpDumper????



I told you Finley would be good off the bench, :lol

[MI21]

Luckily Gasol is having a Timmy type night at the FT Line, if he had made his FT's he'd have 20 already.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Pistons update for those interested:

100-80 Detroit over Charlotte 4:48 remaining

Key stat of the game: Detroit 33 assists (9 TO's)

[MI21]

If Both teams were hitting there normal %'s from the FT Line, this game would probably be a little bit closer by the looks. Doesn't matter, take what you can get.

[ALVAREZ6]

Manu at the half has 11 points 5 assists. :tu

Duncan with 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks. :tu
Good news for my fantasy team.

[WalterBenitez]

TD is OK?

[boutons_]

Welcome back, Michel!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

dude rasho SUCKS. i dont get how you rag on barry yet LOVE rasho. rasho is a TERRIBLE player. nazr may not be god's gift to basketball but rahso is a slow waste of space. you need to get over your rahso homerism. dude is one of the most over paid players in the league in terms of dollar per value. he's up there with brian grant

[Pistons < Spurs]

6-11 on 3's. Nice.

[Manu20]

Finley 3-5 from beyond the arc! :smokin

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Another three by Finley.

12 points.

But he sucks, right Alvarez and exstatic?

[TDMGTP]

nazr off reb and assist ti fin for 3pt

[Amuseddaysleeper]

what'd ya know, rasho goes out and nazr gets an assisst and an offensive rebound! and the lead EXPANDS

[T Park]

i dont get how you rag on barry yet LOVE rasho

Cause at least Rasho does something.

Barry does jack shit.

IE Detroit game the other night. 10 minutes, NOTHING.



dude finley has been a total chokejob this year

Missed those games, he lead the team in scoring did ya?

[wildbill2u]

Seems like everybody has a different player to make the scapegoat for the team.

[E20]

Good hustle play by Nazr!

[T Park]

way to put a hand up Nazr.

[T Park]

Jackson didn't have his dribble, and Nazr backs off of him??

are you kidding me?!?!?

[T Park]

Lets Jackson hit a three WIDE OPEN.

illegal screen.

Allows a guy to drive right to the hole for an easy layup, no attempt at a blocked shot.



Good lord Mohammed, WTF!!

[wildbill2u]

So far its a race between NAZR and RAsho for who has the worst game. Neither seems to want it.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Nazr sucks, the guy is so lacking in so many fundamentals.

yeah so then lets put in...............Rasho? no no, we need basketball players on the court.


and T Park, yes Finley has had his moments but lets be honest, the dude ha sbeen a huge letdown like barry was last year, the same way Hedo was. with the the spurs are, it wouldnt surprised me if we signed larry bird in his prime only to have him manage to shoot 17% for the year somehow. NVE is the biggest bust of all, as well as one of the poorest decision makers in terms of shot selection in the league. the "quick 3" crap he pulls should've gotten him demoted to the minor league by now, i dont know how Pop tolerates it! :pctoss

[dimsah]

Way to piss away the lead.
Nice follow by Horry

[dimsah]

Physical game

[dimsah]

I can't stand Mike Miller. Somebody put him on the floor please.

[T Park]

dude ha sbeen a huge letdown like barry was last year

Finley is averaging 10 a game compared to Barry's 5 and 6.

yeah that no call charge he made on Bowen clearly favors the Spurs :rolleyes

[wildbill2u]

Guy for Denver making long runback slowed down and Patirot guy knocked him out at the one foot line. score is 10-3

[FreshPrince22]

yeah that no call charge he made on Bowen clearly favors the Spurs :rolleyes


Bowen's left foot was a good foot and a half in the restricted area and he wasn't in proper position. Sorry, but that is a blocking foul to the rest of the league.

Could see why youd trade away Bobby Jackson.

God, if I was a queens fan, Id demand Petrie's head on a platter.

[Rummpd]

This is not going well right now!

[Supergirl]

I think we need Bowen on Bobby Jackson to finish this game off. This is ridiculous.

[Kori Ellis]

Yeah, they switched Bowen to BJax now. But that is scary if Miller and Jones are still in.

[Pistons < Spurs]

My Vwallet needs an 8 point margain of victory.....Get it done Spurs!

[dimsah]

unfucking real. Somebody give him a bow.

[Pistons < Spurs]

:08.8 MEM - Slam dunk by P. Gasol. Assist: B. Jackson

NICE D SPURS

SEE DUNCAN THAT IS HOW IT IS DONE!

[1Parker1]

Spurs defense allows a dunk?! :wow

[Rummpd]

The ball has to go to Manu please!

[E20]

Nice D. A dunk excellent!

[Kori Ellis]

Come on, let's go Manu.

[reader]

The boxscore I am watching is frozen at 35 secs....what is happening.

[TDMGTP]

can we trade for bobby jackson??? that foo was tight tonight.

[MI21]

Alright, still can win this one.

Repeat the Game Winner against Memphis from 2002-2003 Timmy :)

[Supergirl]

Like I said...you Spurs do not have the talent, nor the will to win when the game is on the line, quite frankly

Hey troll,
Spurs have the talent. But they do not appear to have the will. Yet. We'll see whose team lasts longer come June...

Please don't let Finley have the last shot. All he needs is a missed game winner right now.

[T Park]

wow.

Nice play pop.

[Kori Ellis]

Sweet!

Now play some D!!!

[dimsah]

Shiiiiitt. Still leaves a lot of time on the clock.

[Stephen A Smith]

Hey troll,
Spurs have the talent. But they do not appear to have the will. Yet. We'll see whose team lasts longer come June...

Quite frankly, AI will be throwing in FTs way after your Chumps have been sitting down for the summer. you skank

[Kori Ellis]

They copied the play Andrew Bogut beat them on.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

what happend? is it over!?!?

[1Parker1]

MANU IS BACK!!! :elephant

[T Park]

what a draw up...

Damn Spurs, if you could win this game, you gotta give a smidgen of credit to Pop for that draw up.

Beautifull pass by Ginobili.

[TDMGTP]

what play was it??

[Kori Ellis]

Why are their two different posters with the Stephen A Smith moniker as an alias?

Quite Frankly, it's annoying.

[TwoHandJam]

Can we have better D now on the take 2? Please?

[Manu20]

[Rummpd]

That will also work, Manu to Duncan for a layup and a nice assist. Damm Manu is good. Hold them now and win this game.

[Kori Ellis]

Come on D.

[WalterBenitez]

[TwoHandJam]

[T Park]

Nice Job Tim

[Supergirl]

Quite frankly, AI will be throwing in FTs way after your Chumps have been sitting down for the summer. you skank


hahahahaha

[dimsah]

That was close.

[TDMGTP]

close one damn.

[Kori Ellis]

.7 seconds left. Spurs ball.

[Rummpd]

7.2 seconds. They put time back on. Jackson missed, so Spurs get ball out of bounce - that works. Horry rebounds and he is fouled.

[Pistons < Spurs]

OMFG WTF?

How did a nice little 10+ point cushion just get completely erased in 3 minutes?

It's only one game...and Memphis is by no means a scrub team, but you've got to put a team down when you're that close to winning it.

And, how many times can you say "It's only one game"?


Nice to see TD get in done when it matters....but this should not have even been close.

[Obstructed_View]

:cuss What is going on!?
The ESPN GameCast is pretty good, when it works. It's working right now.

Spurs win at least but agreed this should not have been this close. Re-match on Monday and the Grizz will be motivated but at least we got MANU BACK!

[T Park]

Good luck for the rest of the season. Quite frankly, you all have a lot of work to do.

Thank you Captain Obvious.

[wildbill2u]

We win 80-79.

I'd rather lose 130-120 than watch this shit.

[Manu20]

Manu with 20 points, 7 assists, and 3 steals!!

[loveforthegame]

We won but it's disappointing to see them lose another lead and hope for the win.

It will be tougher on Monday night.

well yeah, hence the difference between a team that will probably win it all this year (Pistons) and a team that may not even get out of the WCF (Spurs)

[Stephen A Smith]

You score only 80 vs Memphis? Quite frankly, you suck. You have no one worthy of all star status yet you perpetually pimp them up. Weak at best, quite frankly.

[T Park]

team that may not even get out of the WCF (Spurs)


lol

way to have the faith chief.

[mikejones99]

Van exel for TP on the last play? interesting lineup

[boutons_]

Spurs went cold in the 4th, Grizz got hot, Spurs lose 4th 19 - 25.

Ugly blowing of 15 pt lead.

I guess the Grizz will really want Mon night's game.

Spurs aren't out of their swamp, yet.

[Stephen A Smith]

We win 80-79.

I'd rather lose 130-120 than watch this shit.
And lose you will to the Suns, quite frankly. Enjoy the game.

[Kori Ellis]

Some positive stuff in this game whether you want to see it or not.

Manu looks healthy and was extremely effective. Finley played well off the bench. The Spurs executed when they had to do so.

There's some problems, but I'll wait until after the Rodeo Road trip before I worry about this team.

[boutons_]

"Van exel for TP"

have you seen Tony shoot FTs recently?

When Tim scored, Tony had NO reaction on the sidelines. He looked pissed.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

lol

way to have the faith chief.


i'm sorry t park but the spurs are playing like absolute SHIT. dare I say even dallas and an amare-less PHX are ahead of us right now! (our record is fools gold) so yes, we may BARELY get out of the wcf

[CHAMPS AGAIN]

We won but it's disappointing to see them lose another lead and hope for the win.

SPURS in a blowout on Monday

[Kori Ellis]

When Tim scored, Tony had NO reaction on the sidelines. He looked pissed.

Like I said. I'm pretty sure he's sick.

We'll see.

[T Park]

When Tim scored, Tony had NO reaction on the sidelines.

cause they still had to play D.



i'm sorry t park but the spurs are playing like absolute SHIT. dare I say even dallas and an amare-less PHX are ahead of us right now! (our record is fools gold) so yes, we may BARELY get out of the wcf


Cause the Spurs play the same in April as they do in January.


Keen observation there skippy.

[Stephen A Smith]

SPURS in a blowout on Monday

Quite frankly, I think not. I would have to disagree with you on the purposefulness and motivation of this entity you call a team. They may not even make it to the weak western conference finals this year, quite frankly.

[SequSpur]

The Spurs have no offensive game plan. They continue to run isolation whether up top or on the side. No screens, nothing.

Memphis scored on screen roll over and over again, thankfully the Spurs had a big enough lead to hold them off.

[TwoHandJam]

well yeah, hence the difference between a team that will probably win it all this year (Pistons) and a team that may not even get out of the WCF (Spurs)Let's not go overboard here. The Pistons sucked ass far worse in 04-05 than we have this year due to their title hangover and were still in the thick of things right down to game 7. Let's see how the season plays out before we hand out the rings in January eh?

[Kori Ellis]

Quite frankly, your team might be better off trying to make the NCAA Tournament. They will surely be a wash in the NBA Playoffs, quite frankly.

[boutons_]

Sure, lots of good stuff, no problem seeing it.
Manu being Manu, Michael hitting some shots, Tony hitting some jumpers
but it almost went all for naught with an ugly W @at&t.

In spite of Tim limping, he's able to play pretty well.

[1Parker1]

When Tim scored, Tony had NO reaction on the sidelines. He looked pissed.

:lol Yes, I'm sure Tony was pissed at the possibility of the Spurs winning the game.

[Obstructed_View]

We win 80-79.

You should probably switch teams then. Bye.

cause they still had to play D.

Kori said Tony was sick, but to say they still had to play D is the reason.....:lmao

[Kori Ellis]

Well I'm of the thought that when a team is ailing and still coming together that some hard-fought ugly wins aren't a bad thing. Sometimes those are things that make them grow stronger and more focused.

In March, I'd like to see some step-on-your-throat blow out wins. But right now I don't mind some ugly games.

One of Nazr or Rasho (or both) needs to get on track though. Maybe they should alternate starts until one of them steps up.

[1Parker1]

The Pistons sucked ass far worse in 04-05 than we have this year due to their title hangover and were still in the thick of things right down to game 7.

That is a very good point TwoHandJam. I never thought about it that way...gives me more hope that the Spurs still have a chance of repeating :spin

[boutons_]

I think Tony may have been pissed that he was watching instead of playing.
He really wasn't very on tonight, anyway. No energy.
Grizz shut down the driving pretty well.

[T Park]

One of Nazr or Rasho (or both) needs to get on track though. Maybe they should alternate starts until one of them steps up.

I was more pleased OVERALL with what Nazr brought tonight, than Rasho.

Nesterovic has gone straight ass downhill month by month.
