Butler makes layup Spurs up by 2 with 4:02 left (foul on bb)(shooting) his second

[PerforatedNeckline]

bowen has 9 boards...close to a double double

[Supergirl]

Are they just going to call a foul every time someone touches the damn ball? I hate games like this.

[Solid D]

Tony nails near 3 from the corner!!!! He's got his game face on.

Jamison three with Manu on him. :(

[carina_gino20]

[carina_gino20]

[GO SPurs Go]

bb misses and CB scores tied game. 2;55 left

[CubanMustGo]

Too damn many layups.

[Solid D]

Bad luck there with Bowen missing that layup.

Great seal by Jeffries on Timmy. Butler easy layup to tie.

[T Park]

Another fantasticly called NBA game.

Just curious why the refs don't understand lowering the shoulder, or pushing off, is an OFFENSIVE foul, and not defensive.


Typical, pathetically called NBA game.


"Oh by the refs are fine and your an idiot if you critisize them"- Smeagol and other NBA Ref dick suckers.

[Spurologist]

What Fix NBA refs making bad calls? The league will always stand by their officials right to be incompetant. And to think these are supposedly the best of the best

[Dre_7]

Good call. Offensive foul on TP.

Butler blocked by Tim but it still banks in.

Someone wanna tell me how thats a foul on Parker, but yet 3 times on the other end, the exact same plays, it was a blocking foul.


Just pathetic.

[CubanMustGo]

Manu with the J and 1 ... good. Timeout Whiz, 100-94 SA with 59.3 left.

[carina_gino20]

that was a sweet, reckless drive by manu..:spin

[Spurologist]

1:23 left tp gets offensive foul (his fourth) Penalty

:lmao Jeffries was leaning back before he was ever touched. Even the homer wiz announcers said it was a blocking foul. "...Offensive foul. Jeffries got a gift there."

[PerforatedNeckline]

again: how many minutes does tim actually have? cbs says 21...and i'm wondering if thats true

[Solid D]

Someone wanna tell me how thats a foul on Parker, but yet 3 times on the other end, the exact same plays, it was a blocking foul.


Just pathetic.

Good point but in that case, Jeffries had built a campfire and was waiting for the evening entertainment in there.

[Warlord23]

Manu is peaking at the right time this season. If he reaches last season's playoff form, Spurs don't need to fear anyone.

[GO SPurs Go]

butler makes trey 45 secs left spurs up by 4

[CubanMustGo]

Better not go to OT ... TD and Bruce both with five fouls. One stop here should do it ... and no freakin' layups by Butler!

[Supergirl]

Manu's scored 10 points in the fourth for us - most of which have come in the final 3 minutes. this is why I've always said he's our x-factor

[exstatic]

How the fuck does Arenas get fifteen FTs in our building? 21 is a dumbass ref.

[GO SPurs Go]

Wizards with 1 TO left, SPurs with 3

[GO SPurs Go]

Shooting foul on Arenas 18 secs left

[Solid D]

Manu practically grabbed and tackled. Foul. 1st FT good. 2nd good also.

[Duff McCartney]

God damn....stupid Butler.

[GO SPurs Go]

spurs up by 3

[Spurologist]

Manu has been clutch

[CubanMustGo]

5 on Arenas now.

Gino with two clutch FTs but that asshole Butler hits a three. 102-99 with 24 secs left. Butler fouls Gino .. first is good, second is good, five point lead.

[GO SPurs Go]

Tp makes trey with 25 secs to go. Spurs up by 5

[Dre_7]

Butler is a native of Wisconsin, so he will hit big shots.

[exstatic]

The most perfect FT form on the team? Manu in any fourth quarter...

[GO SPurs Go]

Washington takes their last TO

[Supergirl]

Manu 7-7 from FT line this quarter!
Considering he's 9-13 overall, this is pretty impressively clutch.

[Solid D]

Spurs ball. Great D by Spurs and Wiz throws it away.!!!!!!

[Supergirl]

Hahahaha. All those bad calls against the Spurs and it's Arenas who fouls out first.

[CubanMustGo]

Arenas fouls out ... fouling Gino again. Manu hits both, 106-99 w/19 secs.

[GO SPurs Go]

Arenas fouls, Manu makes both. Spurs up by 7 25 secs left. Offensive foul on Daniels.

[Solid D]

Manu hits FTs 106-99.

Daniels charges into Manu and they finally call an offensive foul.

Manu 16 in the 4th.

[Spurologist]

FUCKIN REFS. Get the offensive foul call when the game is decided. FUCK YOU

[GO SPurs Go]

Spurs take TO

[CubanMustGo]

"San Antonio full timeout" ?? why? Or is this a TV timeout?

Good win. I was nervous for a minute but great 4th quarter.

[GO SPurs Go]

CIA Pop: told Gino to miss all those FTs in the first three quarters :lol

[GO SPurs Go]

anyone else notice this...
3rd quarter: wiz:39, spurs:27
4th quarter: wiz: 27, spurs:39
I did, I was debating on whether to post it or not

[PerforatedNeckline]

i don't know what happened to the defense, but manu and tony went nuts and managed to compensate.

[carina_gino20]

manu should feel good after this win. he impressively took over the 4th

[CubanMustGo]

Thank goodness Whiz decided to miss 8/14 FTs in the fourth quarter (after going 12/15 the first three). And thank goodness SA went 13/16 [Gino 9/9] in the fourth.

[Spurologist]

anyone else notice this...
3rd quarter: wiz:39, spurs:27
4th quarter: wiz: 27, spurs:39

[Solid D]

Manu scored the last 14 points for the Spurs. They outrebound the Wiz 49-30 and that's with a small lineup the last quarter.

[T Park]

shit head HB never comes around after hes wrong to admit he was.

Although, makes you wonder if its a Mouse name.

[boutons_]

Wiz are weak up front. No rebounding, defense.

They are completely dependent on the f/c scoring.

[Spurologist]

Wiz are weak up front. No rebounding, defense.

They are completely dependent on the f/c scoring.

Etan Thomas is a decent option as he posterized Nazr in one position, but they rely on Arenas/Jameson/Butler. They usually lose if one has an off night.

[spurschick]

Just got back from the game. Mama and Papa Manu are in town. Those are some proud parents. I especially enjoyed how much they cheered for the team, even when Manu was on the bench.

And Ryan Seacrest, sitting next to Eva, just looked like a dork. I'm waiting for his 15 minutes of fame to end.

[FromWayDowntown]

I thought the block/charge calls in that game were pretty bad. The calls that went against Manu and Barry in the 4th were both questionable. But I also thought that there was a play in the first half where Bowen had already elevated to the basket when Jeffries slid over and got set. I can't see how a player who has already elevated can be called for a charge when a defender slides over late, even if the defender appears to be set.

Donaghy and Pop had something going on all night. I wonder if some part of Donaghy's whistle was aimed at proving some point to Pop.

[fred33]

ryan seacrest with eva i feel a e news subject

[T Park]

And Ryan Seacrest, sitting next to Eva, just looked like a dork. I'm waiting for his 15 minutes of fame to end.

looked like a dork?


As long as he hosts American Idol, he will be around.

He does a good job on there, don't understand why everyone hates the guy to be honest.

[polandprzem]

Who stole the defense from the spurs?

Wizards on a b2b are having a 50% night?

I must see this game cause I don't belive it. Nazr have't learnt the D yet?

[fred33]

why ryan seacrest was with eva? A show monday with eva and tony on e news?

[Vashner]

why ryan seacrest was with eva? A show monday with eva and tony on e news?

C L U B material...

[angel_luv]

Ryan Seacrest is dating Teri Hatcher. Mayve that is how he and Eva are friends.

[fred33]

i feel a report about tony and eva on e news i saw a preview on e news last wednesday where ryan seacrest is interviewing eva and tony about the allure magazine article but i think they aren't brodcasting the interview.

[boutons_]

"Nazr have't learnt the D yet"

Not much, the Wizards' offense is mostly from their 1,2,3 positisons ( 89 pts ) shooting jumpers, but the Wiz did get 42 pts (vs 48) in the paint.

Spurs paint defense, anchored by Tim, has been weak all year.
Our bigs aren't power bangers. Nazr especially has no balls and no concept of moving into play rather than backpedalling down the paint hoping for a delicate block.

While Sean was re-explaining why the last game of long road trips often had teams thinking about getting home rather than playing, the Wiz seemed to be thinking primarily about the Spurs game last night, and didn't suffer from the Spurs disease of chronic fatigue syndrome on second of B2B.

The Spurs got their shit together for a few minutes in the 4th qtr against the 23rd worst defense in the NBA, esp Manu, and prevented an L @ATT.

[polandprzem]

"Oh by the refs are fine and your an idiot if you critisize them"- Smeagol and other NBA Ref dick suckers.
What's pathetic is you crying about the refs when the team is playing like shit (3rd Q) and losing.

[boutons_]

Spurs won on FT pts, 30 - 18.

[T Park]

What's pathetic is you crying about the refs when the team is playing like shit (3rd Q) and losing

Whats more pathetic is your continued dick sucking of NBA refs.

[smeagol]

Whats more pathetic is your continued dick sucking of NBA refs.
Sure, just ask anyone what's more pathetic, me saying refs are what they are and you have to accept the fact they are human and make mistakes or you crying and blaming the refs for a Spurs loss (or even worse, a game they didn't even lose).

For more proof of how pathetic you look, go take a peek at LG.net and tell me those idiot Laker fans are not pathetic when they claim they were robbed by the refs in '03 against the Spurs and in '04 against the Pistons (you recall Lanny and his "circle of seven" theory,don't you?) and how those posters complain non-stop about the refs.

Few things are more annoying than somebody who calls himself fan of a particular pro-sport and complains consistently about how games are called, always claiming refs make mistakes against his team. That's what Laker fans do with their idiotic conspiracy theories.

Again, refs are human and make mistakes. Sometimes they do call horrible games, but in the long run, it all evens out.

So go ahead, cry on pathetic little man.
