Spurs vs Wizards Game Blog

[Kori Ellis]

:blah

[1Parker1]

All I can say is, our MOJO's better do a good job to make up for the George Mason loss :(

[slayermin]

Time for some payback against the Wiz.

[myhc]

nm

[yeahone]

nice start spurs

[loveforthegame]

Nice start for Nazr.

[yeahone]

3 sterals in a row

[yeahone]

this quarter is all about turnovers

[yeahone]

spurs needs to control the ball better

[loveforthegame]

What a joke. Parker picks up 2 quick fouls and then NVE comes in to suck it up. Let Barry play some pg right now.

[ploto]

Nazr had a couple of nice early baskets, but then he started to try to do too much and has now missed 3 or 4 shots, travleled, and turned the ball over.

[Vashner]

AD just walked on that dunk... 1 .. 2 ... 3 steps... argh

[yeahone]

nice agressive play timmy

[yeahone]

nvee

[yeahone]

yeah finally hitting something

[yeahone]

timmy that looks like the timmy i know

[yeahone]

timmy on pace for a 25 point game

[exstatic]

Tim should puke all day more often on home game days.

[yeahone]

manu you got to hit those freebies

[yeahone]

Timmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy y

[yeahone]

nick shotting to much

[wildbill2u]

Would you rather have Barry or NVE running point?

[carina_gino20]

nice horry block

[PerforatedNeckline]

3 blocks for horry already? good lord, he's downright youthful.

[GO SPurs Go]

dam where the fuck is Solid D I want to watch the game and he always has a illegal link

[PerforatedNeckline]

spurs dominating on the glass. what a relief.

[GO SPurs Go]

check ur private messages

[GO SPurs Go]

check ur private messages
yeah thx a lot

[CubanMustGo]

"Welcome back, AD" says Tim.

[CubanMustGo]

B2B blocks by Timmay !!!

[carina_gino20]

2 quick layups by tony and manu

[GO SPurs Go]

2 things: is there anyway to make it higher quality and make it not stop every 10 secs? I'm not complaining (well actually I am) but thx anyways

[GO SPurs Go]

I odnt get it why was fin upset?

[PerforatedNeckline]

man, nick is chucking. is he missing open looks? or forcing?

[carina_gino20]

mine is also grainy but it doesn't stop. the officials thought finley had last touch but his shot was blocked by ethan thomas. they changed the call after.

[loveforthegame]

NVE makes me see red.

[CubanMustGo]

Yes. I think (hope?) the NVE experiment is about over.

Arenas and Jamison have 25 of the Bullets' 33 points.

Spurs have 12 from Tim and 8 from Nazr, lead 40-33 at the half. Tim's 7 boards (3 offensive) lead both teams.

[GO SPurs Go]

mine is also grainy but it doesn't stop. the officials thought finley had last touch but his shot was blocked by ethan thomas. they changed the call after.
Yeah mine stops after every 10 or so secs. Its anoying but wtf its better than nothing? Is this what happens on LP too?

[PerforatedNeckline]

tim with 12 points, 8 boards, 3 blocks and 3 assists at the half.
that's...hard to find fault with.

[PerforatedNeckline]

great defense by the spurs against a relatively high-scoring team.

thanks to the rockets for wearing them down.

[carina_gino20]

maybe it's your connection? i really don't know. mine stops once in a while to buffer but not very much. i wish it were clearer but yeah, it's better than nothing.

[Dre_7]

Yes. I think (hope?) the NVE experiment is about over.

Lets see what you say when NVE makes some big shots in the playoffs.

[CubanMustGo]

Lets see what you say when NVE makes some big shots in the playoffs.

Any time he wants to quit sucking the whole team down when he enters is fine by me. He doesn't need to wait any longer. :pctoss

[carina_gino20]

Hey guys, I want to see the webcast too! Someone give me the link.

check your PM

[PerforatedNeckline]

has van exel had a single hot streak all season? even one game where he caught fire?

[tim_duncan_fan]

check your PM

Thanks!

[ploto]

It's a shame the Spurs were sloppy so much on offense the first half, because with that great defensive half you would hope to have more than a 7 point lead.

[Spurologist]

Just in. Have the spurs impressed?

[GO SPurs Go]

Solid, do you have a better link?

[CubanMustGo]

has van exel had a single hot streak all season? even one game where he caught fire?

Very few and far between, see for yourself:

http://www.nba.com/playerfile/nick_van_exel/game_by_game_stats.html

[Spurologist]

Mohammed took that in the face. and gets rejected. Nice Nazr

[CubanMustGo]

... and here we go again with the usual "let's suck coming out of the locker room to start the second half."

[PerforatedNeckline]

typical. and now we're letting butler get in the game.

[Dre_7]

typical. and now we're letting butler get in the game.

typical? :lol

You must not have watched many Spurs games this year.

[Spurologist]

:lol Nazr takes about all the time to make fts. like Malone.

[Spurologist]

typical. and now we're letting butler get in the game.

memo to spurs: Butler on tp might not work. Two straight baskets off of that.

[PerforatedNeckline]

ha, maybe i just have a short memory.
it just seemed as if there were a couple recent games where we started a little flat in the second half.

[GO SPurs Go]

ok this just isn't working. Does anyone have a link to listen to the game live? I heard that WOAI has it but I can't find it....

[Spurologist]

parker is a beast

[CubanMustGo]

Etan Thomas (who?) looking like an all-star in the second half.

[Spurologist]

ok this just isn't working. Does anyone have a link to listen to the game live? I heard that WOAI has it but I can't find it....

[Dre_7]

Spurs need to double Butler. He was born in raised in Wisconsin. So that means hes a GREAT player! :D

[GO SPurs Go]

nope it says that they aren't allowed to stream Spurs games (Fucking STern)

[PerforatedNeckline]

cbssportsline says bowen is playing with 4 fouls. is that correct?

[carina_gino20]

[Spurologist]

Rasho sighting

[Spurologist]

cbssportsline says bowen is playing with 4 fouls. is that correct?

[CubanMustGo]

NBA Gamecast says 2 for Bowen, 3 for Nazr.

[Spurologist]

Wow. FIN basically cleaned the floor for Butler to get to the basket there.

[GO SPurs Go]

TP has to make that shit

[GO SPurs Go]

[CubanMustGo]

WTF was that tech about?

[Spurologist]

[CubanMustGo]

no, no , no, no, no, no, no, no
"Don't fuck with my head" lol that was funny (see April Fools thread)

[CubanMustGo]

Dear Tony: There are four other guys out there. Try a pass once in a while.

Dear Pop: Get your head out of your ass and get Duncan back in there. This layup shit needs to stop NOW.

Dear Defense: You've given up 32 points in less than nine minuts.

Dear refs: Fuck you.

[PerforatedNeckline]

spurs have given up more points in this quarter than the previous two combined

[Spurologist]

Tony's fucking up, hogging the ball and not makin the plays. Spurs -6.

[HB22inSA]

Ur an idiot.
You can do better than that.

[Dre_7]

You can do better than that.

No offense. It just seems like you cheer against SA every chance you get.

[LakerHater0823]

Nice

[CubanMustGo]

BARRY with the block !!

[LakerHater0823]

Damn!

[Solid D]

Jet lag setting in. PJ said before the game that games like this after a long west coast road trip have the potential to be disatrous. He said they got up and had practice this morning and they may be a little out of whack.

[SpurDawg]

are they bored or what?

[Pinto Bean]

Why cant Manu make a freethrow

[GO SPurs Go]

6 pt defecit GO SPURS GO

[Fabbs]

That's right.

[GO SPurs Go]

[orhe]

what's up w/ manu and his freebies

[Spurologist]

I watch the wiz regularly and to kill them you have to do 2 things.

1. contain arenas
2. Good interior D

Spurs have been killed in both areas.

[LakerHater0823]

[CubanMustGo]

Outscored 39-27 in the third quarter. Decent finish, too bad TD couldn't put that last layup in.

[GO SPurs Go]

could have lowered it to 3 but wtf its better than nine

[LakerHater0823]

We better knock some heads around in the 4th

[Solid D]

33 points allowed in the first HALF, now 39 points allowed in 12 minutes. :(

[GO SPurs Go]

Go Spurs Go

[loveforthegame]

I just noticed that Ginobli is 2-7 from the field and 2-6 from the ft line. Damn.

[GO SPurs Go]

I dont understand why no one chats. Its so much funner.....

[Tek_XX]

Are the spurs going to take this game serious...or not.

[LakerHater0823]

Yes

[Dre_7]

Spurs will win it in the 4th.

No way Wiz shoot near 70% again in this qtr.

[Solid D]

Finally, Manu dunks!

[Spurologist]

manu Dunked

[CubanMustGo]

Spurs have missed 8 FT's (to just 2 misses by Washington). There's your difference.

And lookie, Gino woke up. Nice.

[LakerHater0823]

What kind of pass was that

[GO SPurs Go]

But Then Again Theres No Fucking D So They Came Right Back.

[Spurologist]

TD: where would you like it next time.

[CubanMustGo]

Someone introduce Daniels to the AT&T center floor.

[PerforatedNeckline]

how nasty was manu's dunk? scale of 1-10.

[Spurologist]

What kind of pass was that

Doesn't TD have ALL WORLD HANDS. He's not NAZR. A catch please

[LakerHater0823]

How long do you think TP will sit?

[GO SPurs Go]

[carina_gino20]

[Spurologist]

how nasty was manu's dunk? scale of 1-10.

[Pinto Bean]

Finley for Sixth-Man!!!!!

[GO SPurs Go]

:lol whatever site you are using must be slow.
cbs

[Solid D]

Brent Barry running the point and Timmy really lifted the Spurs. Huge 3 by Finley, from Brent too.

[PerforatedNeckline]

inconsistent as he's been, it seems like finley has saved the spurs more times than he's really killed them this year.

[GO SPurs Go]

what do you use (I could use a faster one)

[GO SPurs Go]

inconsistent as he's been, it seems like finley has saved the spurs more times than he's really killed them this year.
Yeah, don't know if you remember the Clippers game when Caveman killed us but Finley saved our asses

[GO SPurs Go]

Spurs only losing by one Timout Washinton

[Solid D]

Tim Donahy should have stayed at home. He's calling an AWFUL game.

[Tek_XX]

Finally?

He has hit a lot of big shots this year.

I don't know it just seems he just wants to pumpfake all game long.

[GO SPurs Go]

He's our best ft shooter in the starting five. 79% is impressive.

[PerforatedNeckline]
