[TDMVPDPOY]

wow john stocton(beno) dishin out assists left right and center, and a steal!!!!

[cheguevara]

hi... new here... I'm from Argentina and we can't see the game tonight... so... I'm asking... how's the score? And how's Manu playing?

He's playing awesome tonight. Better than anyone in Spurs. But mainly Duncan is missing, so that's why the score is tied at the 4th

[exstatic]

Good work by Rasho to intercept that pass

That whole play was great. He was really battling on the fronting move, too, and then topped it with the steal. THAT is why he starts and plays more minutes. Murphy was killing us. Just keep Rasho on his azzz.

[angel_luv]

Fabri looks handsome too.

[cheguevara]

Just an aside, here - I love Ginobili's passion and all, yada yada yada, but that elbow on Foyle at about 7:40 in the third? THUG MOVE. Gotta say it,

you should lay off the pipe a little.

That was totally accidentally.

[Peter]

he would not be sucking pussy the way he is playing


I have found my new sig.

[SequSpur]

Finley missed a shot, I took a crap and then he missed another one....

nice.

[angel_luv]

Sho's going to get a double double!!!!! :elephant

[carina_gino20]

what's up with Timmy tonight? or shud that be down?

is he tired and hurting because of last night's game?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Just an aside, here - I love Ginobili's passion and all, yada yada yada, but that elbow on Foyle at about 7:40 in the third? THUG MOVE. Gotta say it,

I gotta say it, but the only basketball you've obviously ever played is on your fucking Playstation.

Put down the keyboard and STFU.

[TDMVPDPOY]

rasho with double double

[carina_gino20]

okay, double double for Rasho now..

[Solid D]

Bruce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for 3, 79-74

[carina_gino20]

Bruuuuuuuuuuce!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Baron Davis is completely owning Tony.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lets keep this lead while we at it and dont let this team come back

[milkyway21]

wow Rasho 1 rbd short of double-double?

paging angeluv...rashofan

[carina_gino20]

[manurocks]

Fabri looks handsome too.

Yeah... good looking guy, is his ankle better?

[SoCalSpursFan]

Tony! Tony! Tony!

[Peter]

Baron Davis is completely owning Tony.


TP should get "owned" like this more often.

[Pistons < Spurs]

That was a nice ass play by Parker. Unbelievable.

[TDMVPDPOY]

tim duncan enjoyin doghouse time

[Spurologist]

Baron Davis is completely owning Tony.

come again

[cheguevara]

Baron Davis is completely owning Tony.


not even close Aggie

[bdubya]

you should lay off the pipe a little.

That was totally accidentally.

I saw the replay, and I don't buy it. A weird lateral swipe with the elbow, not doing anything to contribute to hitting the bucket or drawing the foul. Maybe I missed a cheap-shot from Foyle earlier in the game and that was payback, but I do NOT believe that was an accident.

[Manu20]

6:01 GS - Full timeout (Timeout #4)
6:11 SA - T. Parker drives to the hoop for a layup
6:22 SA - T. Duncan defensive rebound
6:22 GS - B. Davis misses shot
6:33 GS - B. Davis defensive rebound
6:35 SA - R. Nesterovic misses a 19-foot jumper from the right wing
6:54 GS - A. Biedrins drives to the hoop for a dunk. Assist: B. Davis
7:00 SA - Loose ball foul on T. Duncan
7:00 GS - T. Murphy offensive rebound
7:01 GS - D. Fisher misses a 26-foot three-pointer from the left wing

Spurs lead 81-76

[Spurologist]

Great d by tp on one end and then blows by everyone in his way for the layup

[TDMVPDPOY]

spurs better not extend thsi lead more then 8pts or 650 vbookie bucks down teh drain

[angel_luv]

Oh my gosh!!!!! I love Gino and Timmy's new gunn commercial!!!!!!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

not even close Aggie

Um, there are two ends to the court.

[carina_gino20]

well, you've made up your mind..believe what you want.. :rolleyes

So you're saying he's basically in the middle of the air trying to make a pumpfake and he's got the bright idea of elbowing the defender in the nose, to take him out??? :lol yeah he's a thug alright. watch out Wallaces :angel

[milkyway21]

needs 8pts more for my vbookie.

Sorry but Manu is not a vindictive player nor a dirty one... I can say without even seeing the foul that it was completely accidental.

[mikejones99]

what gun commmercial?

[Peter]

Future Spur Derek Fisher with the dagger 3, er, 2.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Dude, you're still a fucking idiot. And wrong.

[TDMVPDPOY]

derek fisher better not have any heroic moments in this game or else.....sumone foul him hard plzz

[Warlord23]

Bad move by Manu to toss the ball into Rasho with 6 on the clock

[Solid D]

Nice move by Pop - Bowen on Baron Davis now.

Biedrens hustling and gets off. reb. to Fisher for 3, good.

That's a shame - Manu drive and kick to Bowen and he makes shot but shot clock went off first. 81-78

[mikejones99]

little early for daggers

[TDMVPDPOY]

man last 20 secs was bs, too many force errors

[Spurologist]

[HB22inSA]

Anyone who believed or said that is very naive.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

About once every 20 games Dunleavy shows up. Shit happens.

[DDS4]

Manu with 6 TO's. Yeesh.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Awesome, death, taxes, and Tim Duncan clanging a shot out of the timeout.

[DDS4]

Some of Tim's shots were fadaways...had no chance of going in. I give GS credit, they played him tough.

[ctermu]

Nothing pretty about this game...

[angel_luv]

I want perfect defense and at least five more points from our guys. :angel

[carina_gino20]

Rasho doesn't want to get traded :lol loves the Spurs so much

[beck253]

Manu with 6 TO's. Yeesh.

Why do you keep doubling his TO's?

He has only 3.

[carina_gino20]

Why do you keep doubling his TO's?

He has only 3.

he definitely has 6 TOs.

[SoCalSpursFan]

Miss FT's don't win games. Fadeaway and Defense wins championships.

[HB22inSA]

It must be the patches on his chest...

[DDS4]

Why do you keep doubling his TO's?

He has only 3.

Got it from Sportsline. Could be wrong.

[milkyway21]

i think i'd lose my vbookie tonight.

[TDMVPDPOY]

[Warlord23]

Gino baseline high shot, no, Timmy efforts reb. reaching high.

TP off Rasho screen, left wing jumper no good. Timeout.

BD got hit in nose by Biedrens, He's shaken up.

87-84 41 secs. left, GS ball

[Pistons < Spurs]

Ouch! Davis got a facial.

[Tek_XX]

I think this ends the "start Nazr" debate

[SoCalSpursFan]

Biggest play of the year for pete....

[HB22inSA]

Spurs are one stop away...

[koopa]

smh @ tony parker, who told him he's clutch? damn it he needs to pass the rock to manu or anyone else cause he isn't clutch. and at the beginning of the game they were talkin about his aprove decision making, to bad he hasn't improved it in the clutch of the games

[ctermu]

I like how Parker used Biedrins to pick B Davis

[Spurologist]

wtf did tp go for 3?

long 2. different story if it goes in. bad shot

[DDS4]

Ouch! Davis got a facial.

Maybe that will knock some shot selection into him.

[Warlord23]

How much will you bet on GS attempting a 3 now?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Tony back to shoot first, pass second.

[HB22inSA]

Fisher again

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

How the fuck can you even let Fisher have a look at the rim.

FUCK.

[Peter]

I knew that was going down when I saw Dunleavy make the pass.

[TDMVPDPOY]

fuck fisher

[SoCalSpursFan]

Wow.....bailed the F out. Horrible possesion.

[angel_luv]

Dude Fisher is out to get us again

[Pistons < Spurs]

Duncan should'a shot that.

[DDS4]

Ooooh. Got lucky with that foul.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

[Solid D]

No threes, guys.

[carina_gino20]

[Warlord23]

Dunno why Timmy is so tentative with shooting from 18 feet .. he has to start shooting them at least to get some confidence in that shot when he's having a rough time down low

[angel_luv]

Great job Beno!

[SoCalSpursFan]

Over/Under on how many more days Mike Mont. is coach...

[boutons_]

Tough game, Tim was nowhere, Troy was hot, but Spurs hung on.

Tim hit his FTs to preserve the win.

[SoCalSpursFan]

Tony gets so mad when people talk about Eva. :lol

[carina_gino20]

[boutons_]

5 day rest well-deserved. 3-0 on the RRT.

[Warlord23]

I'll say it before Pop does .. the 37-10 record is fool's gold :lol

Too many close games ... we don't seem like we know how to finish games the normal way

[ctermu]

I'm not impressed by beating a 20W-25L team...I hope Duncan and Ginobili get healthy

[DDS4]

Ooooh....Pietrus' last second three looked good.

[angel_luv]

Slovenians= Superstar! :elephant

[efrem1]

[HB22inSA]

Too many close games ... we don't seem like we know how to finish games the normal way
Yup, all these wins are against sub .500 teams, nothing to get too excited about

[Pistons < Spurs]

Ooooh....Pietrus' last second three looked good.

[doldrums]

It's tough to play 3 straight on the road with a back to back and win all 3. Give the Spurs a break and congratulate them that they know how to finish.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Manu with 6 TO's. Yeesh.WTF are you talking about?? In NBA.com it has Manu with 3 TO's!!

[Solid D]

Interesting strategy by Coach Mike Montgomery in the last minute.

Edit, Murphy was in.

second of B2B on the road, GS was really playing hard, a scrappy win.

Sean is a better SG than Michael.

Damn, Michael is stone cold.

[infinite styles]

Didn't these same Warriors just take the Mavs into OT last week? I was expecting a tough game tonight but I guess I was the only one. I'm happy with a win either way.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Ok my night is officially made. =)


LOL

Your night is made? Who you lying to? Your week is made!!! Especailly considering they have 5 days off!

[TDMVPDPOY]

why cant barry play like sean marks for once?

[milkyway21]

Manu had 3 TO's according to NBA.com, so either they're wrong or you're smoking something!i saw 4 on 1 site, Argentina.

BTW, I don't smoke.

[Budkin]

Didn't these same Warriors just take the Mavs into OT last week? I was expecting a tough game tonight but I guess I was the only one. I'm happy with a win either way.

Yeah I'll take the win, especially with 5 days off. The W is all that matters at this point in the season, though I hope Pop can somehow get Finley playing better. He has not looked good all year. I still think he's gonna come through for us down the stretch though.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

i saw 4 on 1 site, Argentina.

BTW, I don't smoke.chill, I'm just setting you straight, or didn't you hear, that's what the mafia is here for! hehe http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smilol.gif

True. They can come to the rodeo and see me. :elephant

Pop's probably going to just wander off into the night and head straight to Napa Valley to try to forget this one.

Rasho ripped the rebound out of the Warriors hand and put it in over four of them. Hardcore

thats even hardcore then manus dunk on the fakers last season over 4 idiots or the one over 4 sons players

[MI21]

I'm not going to hate on the Spurs for winning 6 road games straight, and 2 in 2 nights. Both close-ish games too.

For those complaining about the close games, check out the Spurs record in games decided by 5 points or less..13-3. Not to shabby.

[T Park]

2 road wins over 2 tough opponents.

You may say, "Portland is tough?"

Portland I believe had won 6 of 7, and was on fire and coming off a big win over Seattle.

Golden State is one hell of a team with great players, and GS has always been a tough win.

Thank god the Spurs are done going there.

[milkyway21]

Tony says don't worry Spurs fans. Despite Duncan's slump Tony promised a bright future for the Spurs after the 5-day break.

here's one funny post-game quote from Tony
-------------------------------------------------
OAKLAND, Calif. -- For most of the second half, Tim Duncan appeared to be shut down by Troy Murphy. As it turned out, Duncan simply was waiting until the last possible minute to put the San Antonio Spurs on his shoulders.

Tony Parker scored 23 points and Duncan shook off a terrible game to score the Spurs' final five points in their sixth straight victory, 89-86 over the slumping Golden State Warriors on Thursday night.

Duncan managed just 16 points and 11 rebounds under tight defense from Murphy, but the All-Star Game starter emerged from a 15-minute personal scoring drought just in time to secure San Antonio's 28th victory in 32 meetings with Golden State.

That was no surprise to his teammates, who were rewarded with a rare weekend off from coach Gregg Popovich after six straight road victories.

"He played great in the last two minutes," Parker said of Duncan, who has struggled with a foot injury for much of the year. "I'm predicting 50 points by Timmy in the next game. After the rest, he's going to be on fire."

..:lol

[Slo spurs fan]

No good words for Benos´ 6 assists? :(

[angel_luv]

Beno was awesome too.

I was bragging on him to my mom- who is becoming a real fan.

Ma doesn't get to see a lot of games so she takes my word on who to root for.

Guess who her favorite players are? :angel
:lol
