[ambchang]

Oh my goodness ... manu is unbelievable.

[Spurologist]

Manu is GOD

[aaronstampler]

He's got like 9 in the last two minutes.

[polandprzem]

Indy has got only one 20 sec TO

[Spurologist]

Fuck ABC. It's a 17 pt game in wash

[loveforthegame]

I can't believe this. What a turn of events.

[polandprzem]

Small bal Pacers

[ShoogarBear]

FUCK ABC!!!!!!!!!!

assholes

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

All quarter long we forced it into Duncan and came up with 10 points in 8 minutes. Then we actually let someone else do something and Manu and Bruce dropped in 12 points in 2 minutes. I rest my case.

[Solid D]

Ouch, Bowen fouls Jack on the shot.

Hits the first to tie. Horry in for Spurs for Finley. Jack hits 2nd FT also.

87-88 Pacers with 38.5 sec. remaining.

[polandprzem]

38.5 seconds Pacers by one :pctoss

[Manu20]

Spurs down 88-87 with 38.5 seconds left.

Spurs ball.

[Solid D]

I'll try to comment pbp ya'll.

[polandprzem]

Solid :pctoss





you are always first

[Nikos]

Why is Jackson able to get FTs while being guarded by Bowen going towards the basket out of control towards Duncan? Just let him put that shit up, don't foul him on that.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Quickly...do you go for the quick score and try to get the 2-for-1 or hold for the best shot?

[zeleni]

sounds interesting.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I have this sick feeling we will fuck this up and give it to Duncan.

[Rummpd]

2 for one come on Spurs.

[aaronstampler]

We're gonna need a stop....

[ducks]

Go For The 2-1 If It Is A Good Shot

[Solid D]

TP, MAnu, Bruce, Tim and Robert in.

Manu around screen hedge by Pollard and follows Pollard in for the drive, and foul

2 FTs by Manu good. Spurs lead 89-88 33.1 rem.

[Solid D]

Jack defended by Manu. Puts up shot and misses, Bruce Rebounds!!! Fouled by Jones.

[aaronstampler]

Gino does it all! Even plays good D on Jack....

[polandprzem]

Jack missed it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

:tu 2 for 1

[Solid D]

Bruce steps to line and knocks down 1st FT!!!

[ducks]

Unclutch Jackson

[aaronstampler]

11.2 left, 2 pts game.

[Solid D]

Bruce steps up and misses 2nd FT. PACERS REB. 90-88

[Spurologist]

Bruce steps to line and knocks down 1st FT!!!

I have a feeling indy goes for 3 no matter what the score is

[polandprzem]

The last timeout by the Pacers spurs by 2

[Rummpd]

Protect against the 3!

[Nikos]

Figues Bowen was the one who gets fouled.......Pacers BETTER NOT hit a 3.

[boutons_]

ok, Bruce, 1 of 2 FTs is ok, considering all the other stuff you did today

[loveforthegame]

Indy goes for the 3 and the win. I don't think they want this to go into OT.

[ducks]

:11.2 IND - 20 sec timeout
:11.2 IND - S. Jackson defensive rebound
:13.0 SA - B. Bowen misses the second free throw
:13.0 SA - R. Horry enters game for B. Barry
:13.0 IND - D. Harrison enters game for P. Stojakovic
:13.0 SA - B. Bowen hits the first free throw
:13.0 IND - Personal foul on F. Jones
:13.0 SA - B. Bowen defensive rebound
:13.9 IND - S. Jackson misses a 17-foot jumper from the right wing
:33.1 SA - M. Ginobili hits the second free throw

[aaronstampler]

Just defend the 3, no matter what. We have to go in with the attitude that worse that can happen is OT. We clearly have the advantage, the longer the game goes.

[polandprzem]

Jack will go for a 3 poiter

[Solid D]

11.2 sec. remaining with Pacers in a timeout. 90-88 Spurs.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Nothing says clutch moments like a synthesizer.

[boutons_]

SJax blows his possession trying to Make Love To Pressure. Went flaccid, missed the hole.

[nkdlunch]

holy shit I gotta see this Manu 28 foot shot!

ABC is the worst network ever, they didnt even show updates on this game

[ducks]

Do Not Foul On A Three Point Shot
If You Foul On A Shot Make Sure He Does Not Make It

[aaronstampler]

YES!!!!! Manu pretty much singlehandedly won this game the last 3 mins.

[Rummpd]

Make 2 Manu!

This would be a gutty win from down 8.

[clooneyschick04]

Ginobili with two huge free throws.

[Solid D]

TP, Manu, Brent, Bruce, Tim.

Fred Jones around screen and drives under reaching Tim, and misses no foul. Reb. Tim!!!

Gino fouled.

Gino hits both!!!!!!!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

holy shit I gotta see this Manu 28 foot shot!

[romsey31]

[boutons_]

Spurs play championship ball in clutch time to get tough win on the road.

[Spurminator]

[Solid D]

SPURS WIN !!!

[polandprzem]

Fricking over!

When those bitches dissapeared the spurs won the game in last seconds.


2 games to end of the Rodeo trip

[boutons_]

Pacers are not any worse without slow-assed JO.

[Rummpd]

With Duncan obviously not himself, and down 8 in 4th nice win with lots of big stories including Manu and Nazr.


Nine in a row and 6 on the road and onto beat King James and crew!

[Spurologist]

Dear ABC,

FUCK YOU

[manubili]

WOOOHOOO! I almost die in a heart attack, and i'm following it in the gamecast!
MANU IS SO GOOOD!

[FromWayDowntown]

Great last two minutes to win a game that had almost slipped away.

Manu was the man.

[Rick Von Braun]

Manu freaking Ginobili!

13 pts in the last 2 minutes, great D, balls of steel!!

An assassin down the road.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

man i'm SO grateful that the ABC buffalo feed was having satellite problems so i could watch this game! wow!!! one of the best spurs game to watch of the season! GREAT GREAT GREAT win! i really thought we weren't gonna pull that one out! manu's 28 foot 3 point shot has got to be play of the week!!! :drunk :drunk :elephant :fro :smokin

[themvp]

oh yeah! congrats to manu!

[ShoogarBear]

In case nobody else has said this yet: FUCK ABC!!!!

[mavsfan1000]

Stephen Jackass cost the pacers this game. Fucking dumbass.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

See, we have someone besides Duncan who can score points after all.

[boutons_]

4 starters in 2bl figs, and Nazr showed up big off the otherwise useless Spurs bench.

[Brutalis]

we wont lose.
AMEN

[aaronstampler]

What a great comeback! They played awful pretty much the first 9 mins of the 4th, and then just clutch play after clutch play in the end to win.

Somebody mentioned the other day that we needed to have like a "message game" like the one we had against the Suns last year, and so far, this would have to be the closest we've come to that.

We won despite our entire bench besides Nazr being terrible and Tim being very off his game because of flu and foot problems.

Now, the question is, can they shut down Bron Bron tomorrow in the back to back? We're gonna need a huge defensive game from Bruce, but one thing is for sure, it should be A LOT easier to get open shots and layups tomorrow. I expect at least 105 points or so, especially since the bench is due.

[boutons_]

is Manu back? Is he a winner? Is he an All-Star??

Hell YES!!!

[Brutalis]

Stephen Jackass cost the pacers this game. Fucking dumbass.
pooor you

[FromWayDowntown]

Stephen Jackass cost the pacers this game. Fucking dumbass.

Have the Spurs ever won a game in your opinion, or are all their victories the consequence of other players giving away games? Seriously.

How about Manu winning the Spurs this game?

[Spurologist]

This is turning into that south park episode of the aliens taking people's jobs. 'Take took err jobs.' Say something then end it with FUCK ABC.

Tim still had a double double. FUCK ABC.

[SLOVENIAN 8]

Yess we winn!!! I bet on spurs and i win :smokin

[Amuseddaysleeper]

so when the hell is nazr gonna start! damn, the dude was single handedly keeping us in the game with his amazing offesnisive rebounding as well as his OFFENSIVE EFFICIENCY! haha never thought i'd say that about nazr! great game once again!

[WalterBenitez]

M A N U

[ploto]

I guess the Pacers haven't figured out yet that Peja is on their team. Needing to score and he never even touches the ball.

But what can you say about Manu!!! Clutch.

[Brutalis]

M A N U
FOR THREE

[boutons_]

I don't think they missed JO at all today.

[aaronstampler]

Manu had kind of a weird game, if you think about it. The first two minutes and the last three minutes, he had like 19 points, 2 assists. The 43 minutes in the middle he had 10 points, 2 assists.

[WalterBenitez]

AMEN

Congrats for being so optimistic :spin , I dobt it, but I forgot Spurs has MANU :elephant

[Nikos]

In case nobody else has said this yet: FUCK ABC!!!!

Agreed. But at least I got to see the end.

[loveforthegame]

Incredible win. I didn't think they'd pull it out either.

Ginobli was huge. Bowen had his big moments too.

Go take of Cleveland tomorrow.

[Brutalis]

they might be just as good without.

regardless it was a great win despite poor shooting and baddddd turnovers not to mention a few calls.

[Spurologist]

Can someone tell me what happened on the Gino 30 foot 3 pointer.

[WalterBenitez]

Down to Earth, Now I believe in this team, I think Spurs always has sth xtra, Nazr, Bowen, ... TD and TP playing well as usual, and what to say about Manu, this guy is so amazing ...

[Manu4Three]

MANU FOR THREE

Who call me???

[mavsfan1000]

Indiana absolutely blew this game.

[sprrs]

Can someone tell me what happened on the Gino 30 foot 3 pointer.

Spurs were down 5 with over a minute left, defensive three seconds called on the Pacers, and Manu made the free throw. Spurs have the ball and have a horrible offensive set, almost losing the ball when Manu gets it at just about half-court with 5 on the shot-clock. He pretty much had to chuck up a 30-footer or get a 24-second violation, and it was nothing but net. :spin

[Solid D]

Can someone tell me what happened on the Gino 30 foot 3 pointer.

Parker got shut off in the lane so he turned and got tripped up and almost traveled and threw an off-balance pass deep to the backcourt. Manu ran the ball down at half-court tight-roping the midcourt line. He gathered himself with 4 on the shot clock and in front of 2 defenders he stepped up and drilled a 30 footer to make it a 4 point trip (tech foul earlier on the defensive 3 sec.).

Thanks. Damn that guy is good.

[mavsfan1000]

Fuck you Bennett Salvatore.

[rayray2k8]

I think the spurs barely made it out alive.. But yes, this was something that on regular nights, would have not belong to the spurs.

[romsey31]

Indiana absolutely blew this game.
Tell me about it. Rick freaks me out at times, his coaching was absolutely horrible.

[baseline bum]

All quarter long we forced it into Duncan and came up with 10 points in 8 minutes. Then we actually let someone else do something and Manu and Bruce dropped in 12 points in 2 minutes. I rest my case.

See third quarter, game 7. What fun that would have been had Pop followed your advice.

[baseline bum]

What a big shot by Jack. Wow.

Defensive 3 seconds, Manu gets tech FT.

Bad pass by Tony, Manu with a 30 footer, YES!!!!!!

I can't lie.... a part of me cheered when Jack hit that three. A bigger part cheered when he forced up that horrible 20-footer though.

[1Parker1]

:flipoff ABC. I got to watch the Sixers get slaughtered by the freakin Wizards.

[ALVAREZ6]

...ABC blows

[Horry For 3!]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuu Manu Manu Manu Manuuuuuuuuuuuu Manu Manu Manu

[boutons_]

Crappy shooting all game, then 30 pts in the 4th.

[Manu20]

The Spurs set a franchise record with their ninth straight road victory! :smokin

[HB22inSA]

Spurs scored 20 points in the final 3:42.

Wow.

If they can get Cleveland, they will kill Philly.

But tomorrow is the big one.

[boutons_]

Cavs suck. Spurs defense is too tough for their offense, and Cavs don't play defense.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i usually love rick carlisle AKA jim carrey as a coach but taking peja out and fred jones for stretches in the last 5 min of the game was VERY poor substituting! and yeah duncan is barely 75% i think manu and tp should be the 1st and 2nd options. we should keep td more in a ben wallace type of defensive presence until he's 90%

[ducks]

Cavs suck. Spurs defense is too tough for their offense, and Cavs don't play defense.

DOES THAT INCLUDE JAMES
:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
