Where's Shawn Marion?

[travis2]

Duncan with the stuff...

[midgetonadonkey]

Those Suns fans are dumb shits. They fucking boo for every little thing.

[Vingianx]

I Saw That Kick

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Raja Bell = Pussy.

[Vingianx]

Those Suns fans are dumb shits. They fucking boo for every little thing.
BUT DON'T YOU JUST LOVE IT THAT EVERYTHING THE SPURS DO TICKS THEM OFF?

[Peter]

Raja Bell is a punk ass chump.

[TDfan2007]

man Tim won't even get another shot if this keeps up.

[Spurologist]

Where's Shawn Marion?

people forget marion is not a half offense player until he's shooting open jumpers. He relies heavily on nash's passes particularly in the fast break via steals/blocks/penetration.

All of that is not happening tonight. sad because he's on my fantasy roster

[Vingianx]

Don't You Just Love The Boos? Hahahahahaha

[TDfan2007]

people forget marion is not a half offense player until he's shooting open jumpers. He relies heavily on nash's passes particularly in the fast break via steals/blocks/penetration

oh no I didn't forget. That's why I laugh when people are fawning over him. He's good, but not as good as advertised.

[DDS4]

Marion got owned in last year's playoffs. Maybe it's still fresh in his mind.

[Vingianx]

Yesssss The Suns Bounce Back Up....lol That Was Sarchasm

[midgetonadonkey]

Parker's jumper is really hitting. I hope he can keep it up.

[Spurologist]

[Viva Las Espuelas]

the hell with the suns. yawn............

[TDfan2007]

The Suns are playing beyond pathetic D and the Spurs D hasn't been much better (although they're steadily improving). I'm still loving how the Suns are overplaying Tim.

MEMO TO D'ANTONI: TIM HAS THE COMPLETE PACKAGE UNLIKE YOUR BIG MAN

[Vingianx]

Shawn Is Like The Rest Of The Suns And Oh! Yes Even Amare...they Only Feed Off Steve Nash...

Suns - Nash = Not So Good At Scoring Team

[nkdlunch]

This is getting embarrasing.


and Marion for MVP?? :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Vingianx]

This is getting embarrasing.


and Marion for MVP?? :lmao :lmao :lmao
AMEN I'M STARTING TO FEEL BAD FOR THE SUNS, BUT ONCE I HEAR THE FANS..I'M GLAD THEY'RE LOSING

[Vingianx]

Who Is The Player Of The Game?

[Spurologist]

D'antoni in the last timeout:

"Guys you gotta double timmy all the time. We want to give parker open shots. Dammit double team him. When parker hits those shots, that means you must double timmy harder. Come on guys."

[TDfan2007]

This is getting embarrasing.


and Marion for MVP?? :lmao :lmao :lmao

completely agree

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Bowen's not just in Marion's head, he's renting space in there out.

[nkdlunch]

hahahah Parker is player of the game

[TDfan2007]

Tony has been spectacular today. Simply amazing (although getting open jumpers off of double teams does help)

[midgetonadonkey]

Why didn't they boo Marion fucking up that dunk?

[carina_gino20]

D'antoni in the last timeout:

"Guys you gotta double timmy all the time. We want to give parker open shots. Dammit double team him. When parker hits those shots, that means you must double timmy harder. Come on guys."

:lmao

[carina_gino20]

Bowen's not just in Marion's head, he's renting space in there out.

Bowen's got a lot of superstar resthouses...:lol

[Vingianx]

Only Way They Can Get A 3 Is To Tumble A Spur Out On The Other Side

[midgetonadonkey]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

hhahahahahaha


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[Peter]

Who is Eddie House?

[Vingianx]

Bowen's got a lot of superstar resthouses...:lol
BOWEN IS A PIMP WITH ALL HIS HOES MARION, ALLEN, DIRK

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

House = sucka.

Add another one to Bowen's list :lol

[Rummpd]

Suns fans are crybabies! Bowen is in their heads.

[nkdlunch]

Bowen is just playing w/that kids mind :lol

[midgetonadonkey]

[FromWayDowntown]

Bowen's dirty -- playing defense is dirty.

[DDS4]

Hahaha...Eddie-your mind is weak. It's been b0w3nEd.

[Rummpd]

Wah, wah, wah. I don't what is sadder Nash's casual gansta outfit or Suns fans.

[Spurologist]

House must get a lot of fire calls

guess nobody got my bad joke. He should have been t'd up on that last play. He was all over the ref's face. Where is quick trigger Bennet Sal when you need him.

[milkyway21]

did Rasho play?

[Vingianx]

Bowen's dirty -- playing defense is dirty.
SOMEONE GOTTA DO THE DIRTY FOR THE SPURS

[nkdlunch]

Bowen has the power of the dark force. He's playing mind tricks

[nkdlunch]

did Rasho play?

Rasho has been very valuable cheerleading for us from the floor

[Tek_XX]

How dare Bowen get in House's way. Wait till the NBA heres about this.

[ChumpDumper]

Shawn Is Like The Rest Of The Suns And Oh! Yes Even Amare...they Only Feed Off Steve Nash...

Suns - Nash = Not So Good At Scoring TeamYeah, those bitches are shooting a paltry 54% against the Spur defense.

[Vingianx]

Yes Keep Booing It Sounds So Nice When The Spurs Are Winning

[Peter]

Mind games.

The Young Bruce Bowen.
This is my tribute to thee.

[Vingianx]

Yeah, those bitches are shooting a paltry 54% against the Spur defense.
LOL

[Vingianx]

Shawn Marion For The Lead!!!!

[Vingianx]

I Smell A 50-0 Run

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Spurs dicking around and letting Phoenix back in the game.

[Vingianx]

Parker Says To The Crowd Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Looter]

as long as it's a Spurs player? dirty is ok. If that was Dirk who used his teeth to bite a Spurs player? there would be 3 pages of how dirty and evil Maverick players are. but it's a Spur, so it's all good

[midgetonadonkey]

Those defense chants by the crowd are funny. Like their team plays defense.

[ChumpDumper]

Wow, Horry was shot out of a cannon on that flop!

[nkdlunch]

Phoenix crowd. what a bunch of crybabies :lol

[ChumpDumper]

as long as it's a Spurs player? dirty is ok. If that was Dirk who used his teeth to bite a Spurs player? there would be 3 pages of how dirty and evil Maverick players are. but it's a Spur, so it's all goodHad Horry used his teeth, I'd agree.

DAMN STRAIGHT

:lol is phoenix actually booing tp when he gets the ball. that is true ownage by tp

[Peter]

Eh, enough whining about Barbosa. That was a gift to the Suns.

[Vingianx]

Udrih Developing A Good Jumper

[Dunc]

I'm listening to the game on NBA Audio Pass, so I can't see the calls, but these Phoenix radio guys are spending more time complaining about the calls and the referees than they are calling the game. Are the calls really that bad or are these guys full of shit?

[Peter]

Everyone cheers when the white dude scores. Typical.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This is like a pre-season game (well, at least when I watch Phoenix play defense :lol ).

[Spurologist]

Timmay needs to hammer one down on Pat Burke to return him to normalcy

[carina_gino20]

manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!

[Vingianx]

And Ginobili Quiets The Crowd


I Love This Game

[midgetonadonkey]

Cancer Boy scored over Duncan again.

[Vingianx]

I'm listening to the game on NBA Audio Pass, so I can't see the calls, but these Phoenix radio guys are spending more time complaining about the calls and the referees than they are calling the game. Are the calls really that bad or are these guys full of shit?

[ChumpDumper]

Everyone cheers when the white dude scores. Typical.Lay off, he just got out of chemotherapy. He's an inspiration to us all.

[milkyway21]

Rasho has been very valuable cheerleading for us from the floori knew it. :D

now the Suns is playing against a depleted team too(as if Rasho is the Spurs' best player:lol).

[TDfan2007]

Tim needs to touch the ball. He didn't even attempt a shot in the 3rd quarter. He needs to get his revenge on Burke!

[nkdlunch]

Suns are a sorry ass excuse of a team w/out Nash

[Peter]

I have had a revelation.

The Suns are the Nets of the Western Conference.

[Vingianx]

Suns are a sorry ass excuse of a team w/out Nash
AMEN TO THAT

[Rummpd]

"I'm listening to the game on NBA Audio Pass, so I can't see the calls, but these Phoenix radio guys are spending more time complaining about the calls and the referees than they are calling the game. Are the calls really that bad or are these guys full of shit?"

FOS - maybe 2-3 calls not called on Spurs but many others the other way. Spurs killing the Suns with beautiful ball movement looking like the Pistons did at their best this year. Parker is hitting 15-20 jumpers = nothing but net over and over again.
_____________________________

[FromWayDowntown]

Got a ways to go still, but this game convinces me that Nash should be the back-to-back MVP.

[Spurologist]

Suns are a sorry ass excuse of a team w/out Nash

and they are getting maximum exposure especially Marion.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

mike d'antoni is the most stupidest coach. i cant stand his face. see you next year suns fans. i mean spuns fans. don't give up the hope because i did for ya'll.

[nkdlunch]

those dudes are fucking embarrased to be Phoenix radio

[Rummpd]

Parker I believe would have schooled Nash tonight - he is just on.

[Tek_XX]

The way the Spurs are playing i'm not sure Nash or Stoudamire could save them.

[Xylus]

Suns are a sorry ass excuse of a team w/out Nash
And Barbosa. And Kurt Thomas. And Amare Stoudemire.

If the Suns can lose by less than 15 tonight, I think I'll be satisfied with their performance.

Cool, now Nike is trying to sell us shoes based on the crack-addled dream of turning our kid into the next MJ.

[Vingianx]

Bell Scared To Shoot The 3

[Vingianx]

Barry Is Sniping On The Corners

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Beno is money with the mid-range jumper.

Barry playing like we almost traded his ass :lol

[Spurologist]

Double hand off with Beno and Nazr. Beno then to Barry in the corner for the wide open three. Beautiful.

[wildbill2u]

Bowen used his hands and his feet
And he kicked and he punched with his hands and his feet

Now THATS the way to play defense. :elephant

[Peter]

You can't be serious! Michael D'Antoni is the reigning Coach of the Year.

[Vingianx]

Beautiful Ball Movement ...total Eye Candy

What's This? Spurs Going To Score 100 Before The Suns? Lol

No I really meant that he is the best coach in western civilization. Maybe even in NBA history.

Whatever dude you'd thought they'd win

[Vingianx]

Who Thinks The Suns Will Crack The 100

[Peter]

Beno fights for a spot on the playoff roster.

[ChumpDumper]

Pat Burke is having the kind of night that will guarantee his being signed by the Spurs this summer.

[milkyway21]

The way the Spurs are playing i'm not sure Nash or Stoudamire could save them.u mean Suns?

BTW, the Suns tonight reminds me of the way the Spurs played vs NY Knicks last yr after Tim Duncan was injured in Detroit. LOST. A team w/o a pilot. :angel

[Rummpd]

Nice aggressive driving by Duncan who is quietly playing well and seemingly saving himself for tommorow as well.

[Peter]

And Barbosa. And Kurt Thomas. And Amare Stoudemire.

Congratulations on the win tonight, guys. Spurs shot the lights out tonight.

[Vingianx]

The Game Would Have Been Closer If Nash Would've Played Note The Key Word: Closer

[TDfan2007]

Nice aggressive driving by Duncan who is quietly playing well and seemingly saving himself for tommorow as well.

ya definetely. He's beating the Suns down the court on a bad foot. Sad.

[Spurologist]

Solid D should get out his Clinic pic

[Viva Las Espuelas]

suns i'm sorry. amare will not give you a title. have a good next year. don't try this year. save it for next.

[milkyway21]

i thought Raja is their answer to our 3pt play dominance in last yr's playoffs. Only 3- 3s so far? NOt good enough.

JUST LIKE LAST YEAR....AND TODAY SOMEONE WAS COMPLAING THE SPURS HAD AN EASY ROAD LAST SEASON

[Vingianx]

Diaw Practically Disappeared This Second Half

[Vingianx]

Where Is The Triple Double Threat?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

So much for Phoenix's Manu Killer, aka Raja Bell. :lmao

[wildbill2u]

With win tonight, the Spurs are at a historic pace at this same time/games for the season. sneaking up on some folks.

Softly softly catchee monkey.

[Vingianx]

Beno Starting To Run Around Like Reggie Miller And Rip Hamilton

[Spurologist]

Got a gllimpse of timmy's eye. that's gonna need some recovering

[milkyway21]

JUST LIKE LAST YEAR....AND TODAY SOMEONE WAS COMPLAING THE SPURS HAD AN EASY ROAD LAST SEASONeasy road when we play against the Suns in the WCFinals who had the overall best record?

come on.

[nkdlunch]

oh shit yeah. Timmy's eyer looks fucked up. that was Smush parker that fucker right?

[Vingianx]

didn't brent have the same success against the suns last season?

[midgetonadonkey]

Beno Starting To Run Around Like Reggie Miller And Rip Hamilton

Beno is the next great shooter.

[nkdlunch]

Beno is the next white hope

[wildbill2u]

Did Marks make the trip? Time for the human victory cigar to get in the game.

[Dunc]

Announcer #1: "Some of these calls have been 'message calls' out here tonight."
Announcer #2: "Yeah, when one team is up by twenty points, there's no reason to rub it in like that."

I've never been so turned off to an entire team by an announcing crew as I have tonight. I swear to God these fuckers have done nothing but complain. Last time I'll listen to PHO broadcasting.

On a seperate note, I'm now listening to a commercial on the risks of chewing spit tobacco. That's something new to me up in the great white north, lol. I mean, I know that people chew tobacco, I've just never heard commercials on it before. Made me laugh a little.

[Peter]

They call him Sarver
He dresses like a chicken
And I'm the carver

[Vingianx]

suns fans starting to turn away from their team and leave early lol

[milkyway21]

grr Nazr has 13 rbds already. abusive! :D

[Vingianx]

Did Marks make the trip? Time for the human victory cigar to get in the game.here comes the victory cigar (marks)

[Peter]

"Florida Flame"? Team colors must be the rainbow.

[Solid D]

Did ya'll see that? The Spurs ran the Flex offense and Oberto scored on the baseline J.

Another baseline shot for Oberto!!!! :elephant

[wildbill2u]

Now in this blow out, if Oberto will play like he's a veteran instead of being a polite rookie, we could see what he has.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Spurs call timeout to get Marks in the game. That's just wrong. :lmao

[carina_gino20]

the last time i heard phoenix announcers was during january during the Spurs@ Suns game and I swear, I couldn't bear to hear them. i was wondering how they got their jobs.


so...we can always mute the tv..:lol

[Spurologist]

suns fans starting to turn away from their team and leave early lol

I think they got their mouths chapped from booing

[polandprzem]

Was RC in the chicken suit?

[Rummpd]

Marks coming in!

This should be the playoff roster - leave Van Exel off!!!!!!!

[Tek_XX]

Beno is the next white hope

Does a European count?

[efrem1]

Stick a fork in them. It is funny that a few nights ago, we said that about our team. It's nice to say it about their team :)

[nkdlunch]

Oberto rackin up numbers

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Did ya'll see that? The Spurs ran the Flex offense and Oberto scored on the baseline J.

We should be running that as one of our base offensive sets :depressed

[Vingianx]

Does a European count?
i forgot he was european

[milkyway21]

I'm surprised Finley only have 1 pt. Against a team w/ almost all the best crew gone?

:lol

[Tek_XX]

I'm a time warner customer

[efrem1]

Marky Mark is in!!!!

[wildbill2u]

This may be the first game in a long long time where there wasn't any bitchin' at any of our players or Pop.

Uh-oh, I shoudna said that.

[efrem1]

MARKY MARK scores!!

[Vingianx]

they better keep them under 100

[Rummpd]

Ball movement is just superior tonight.

[midgetonadonkey]

Pop should put himself in and go post up Eddie House. I bet Pop has some wicked post moves.

[efrem1]

Barriiiihhhh!!

[Vingianx]

Omg!! Nice Dunk By Barry

[wildbill2u]

MARKY MARK scores!!

The guy can pull the trigger like Quigley from Down Under.

[Spurologist]

Is rasho injured/ill?

[Rummpd]

Barry is stepping up.

We do not need Van Exel - Beno and Barry are better!

[milkyway21]

Beno is giving charities to his teammates.
First to Oberto, now to Sean.

Great! Nice job cutie! opps ! Beno. :D

[Rummpd]

Boy Marks has a nice shot - Please let this be the playoff roster without Nick Van Exel!

[Darrin]

The Suns can't do one thing right - beat the Spurs.

Just call me KG: "Damn. Damn. Damn."

[Solid D]

Holding PHX under 100 isn't anything special with all the injuries.

[milkyway21]

Is rasho injured/ill?the Coyote is unavailable so Rasho is substituting...

[Rummpd]

Nash is a gansta that shirt is inane.

[wildbill2u]

Hey Oberto got 4pts and 3 rebounds in 4 minutes. That means he's a 48 pt 36 rebound guy if he played the whole game.

[Vingianx]

Is Coach Mike Trying To Seem Cool Like Pop Did Last Season By Holding Out Duncan And Ginobili During Their Last Meeting Of The Season...he's Trying To Say We Got The Mental Edge Or Soemthing?

Our battle is completed Phoenix, you were an amusing opponent!! "Space Fury"

[wildbill2u]

Well, its a shame that Phonix didn't have its best players so we could have had a real contest, but thats sports. Injuries happen.

[Solid D]

Spurs didn't prove much tonight with all the injuries to PHX other than they can shoot lights out when given the open shot. This game did a lot for Tony Parker's game. That's 3 straight games Parker has drilled shot after shot from 16-20 feet off the sag. That opens up the drive opportunities again if teams know they have to respect the jumper and shots off the flare screen.

Our clean up unit kicked Phoenix's ass haha

Barry with 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists! :wow

I haven't looked at the schedule in awhile, but I think the Suns return to San Antonio on March 17th (correct me if I'm wrong). Nash should be back by then, but I have no clue about Barbosa's status. That should be a good game.

It's a shame for Suns fans, because we were really hoping to see how well Barbosa plays against the Spurs over the course of a whole game. We didn't expect a win with Nash on the bench, obviously, but it was a good game to evaluate individual performances. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see Barbosa in action.

[Spurologist]

Barry with 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists! :wow

wow. the spurs were running practice drills out there.

Diaw is a helluva player. Atlanta must be kicking themselves big time.

Manu's really starting to look better again. Hopefully he continues to get better.

The tip-offs are only 22 hours apart, 9:30 tonight and 7:30 tommorrow. :wow

[mikejones99]

if playoff roster is only 12, that makes tough choice of X Beno or Marks

[exstatic]

Regarding Barry: Pop should possibly try to trade some other players if that is a motivator. :lol

[exstatic]

if playoff roster is only 12, that makes tough choice of X Beno or Marks
If Marks is needed we're fucked. If Beno is needed, it means VanX's elbow is out. Beno makes the roster.

[Solid D]

This was a good ending to one of the s******* days of my life.

I'm sorry you had a bad day.

[Manu20]

if playoff roster is only 12, that makes tough choice of X Beno or Marks

That is a no brainer, Beno. :tu

[mikejones99]

Marks is the favorite followed by Beno Oberto X and Barry Rasho

[midgetonadonkey]

Hahaha Penny Hardaway said his career isn't over. That is hilarious.

[Darrin]

Barry with 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists! :wow

It only took a complete blowout for him to have one game worthy of his contract.

It only took a complete blowout for him to have one game worthy of his contract.
He hit timely shots in the playoffs. I'd expect a Pistons fan to know that.

It's nice that Fin had a bad shooting night when he wasn't needed. Now that it's out of his system he can shoot well next time it matters.

I think he owned the suns in the first part of the game, and I think the parker hate is past it's believability.

The kid has stepped waaay up this year.

I know, but if TD in this part of the game don´t shot any time, this is a big problem

I believe that Tony would have to involve all the team, and not to play one on one during some passages of the game

Sometimes Tony plays like Kobe, and that´s good but you can´t win a Championship in this way

Specially if TD is 8 fo 10 and Manu is 5 of 6 from the field, like in this game

[ChumpDumper]

8 of 11 and 6 of 8 respectively if you care to be accurate.

And when Tony is 8 of 13 outside the paint against a defense that is packing the lane against guard penetration and Duncan, this is not the time to complain about Tony.

[boutons_]

No matter how well Tony shoots, I think Tony taking 21 shots to Tim's 11 and Manu's 8, when both Tim and Manu are shooting as well as Tony, is putting too many eggs in Tony's basket.

It seems at times Tony keeps dribbling looking for his shot, whereas with with Nash, it seems that he keeps dribbling in order to make a play for another shooter.

Sounds like nit-picking, but more than one of us has observed that at times, it seems like it's all Tony, all the time, on too many possessions.

However, this his first year playing at this high level, and I trust he will settle down later and better spread the ball to others who are scoring as well as he is, as one of his next, not-too-distant challenges will be when the defense concentrates on and succeeds in shutting Tony down. There will come a day when stopping Tony will be the best way of stopping the Spurs.

[Solid D]

I think there is validity to a degree boutons but let's face it, the last 3 games (Lakers, Clips and Suns) those teams sagged bigtime, often double and triple teaming Timmy. It left Tony wide open time after time after time. He showed everyone he can make them pay which was a paradigm shift in Tony's game. I mean a major change for the better, an aspect that Spurs fans had only seen flashes of before this week.

There were a few times Tony dribbled and didn't see anything so he took the shot, so I'll give you that.

Manu and Tim have the seniority to demand the ball if they feel like Tony is hogging it. They could both see he was on fire last night and let him run with it. Plus it's nice to show the rest of the league that they're going to have to come up with a Plan B as to how to defend Parker, if this whole jump shot thing really does start to take off for him.
