Spurs vs Rockets Game Blog -- 63?

[Kori Ellis]

I don't know if everyone is aware but a group of fans from the forum went to Houston for this game -- Angel Luv, Rashofan, SpursChick, Silver21_Black20, enigma, KEDA and more.

Angel messaged me a little while ago saying that Rasho walked by them and said Hi, How are you? and now she's swooning over it. :lmao

Anyway, the game is pretty irrelevant other than the possible 63rd win, but it's cool that SpursTalk is being represented at the Toyota Center tonight.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Angel messaged me a little while ago saying that Rasho walked by them and said Hi, How are you? and now she's swooning over it.

:lmao :lmao

when she comes back and posts her synapsis of the game, that particular incident will need 4 paragraphs at least. book it!

[E20]

This game I ain't gonna watch.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

when she comes back and posts her synapsis of the game, that particular incident will need 4 paragraphs at least. book it!

I doubt it will be 4 paragraphs. More like one long ass paragraph :lmao

[T Park]

Glad Angel is having fun.


Go Spurs, go out have fun, stay healthy.

[Kori Ellis]

Just FYI, game time is 7pm not the normal 7:30pm

[TDMVPDPOY]

has the game even started yet?

[Kori Ellis]

It's starting in a couple minutes.

They just showed the Spurstalk group -- KEDA, Spurschick, Rashofan, etc on TV.

[spurs=bling]

i just saw rashofan spurschick and Keda on TV and some other dude. rashofan was putting on lipgloss and spurschick has a spurs flag around her

[sa_butta]

It's starting in a couple minutes.

They just showed the Spurstalk group -- KEDA, Spurschick, Rashofan, etc on TV.Im at work till 830p did they have a sign or anything?

[Slo spurs fan]

Go Spurs go !!!!!!!!!!!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Well bury my shell at wounded knee. I almost played NCAA right through another spurs game.

Wow, lotta spurstalkers at the game, that's fuckin great. Way to represent.
Is TPark going to be given free front row seating and a chance to win alot of money by shooting a halfcourt shot too? He's overdue for that anyways.

[Kori Ellis]

Im at work till 830p did they have a sign or anything?

They have signs with them, but they weren't holding them up. They were just casually scanning the crowd and caught Beckie putting on her lipgloss.

[spurastic]

It was just reported that Duncan and Tony will not play tonight. Being rested. Either is suited for play

[Manu20]

Tim and Tony will not play tonight.

Horry and Beno will start.

[sa_butta]

They have signs with them, but they weren't holding them up. They were just casually scanning the crowd and caught Beckie putting on her lipgloss.no chapstick but lipgloss gotcha.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

oh my fucking god are you bull fucking shitting me...

They have this game listed as being broadcasted on espn tonight on espn.com, yet espn just said mavericks clippers up next or some BS....

[Vashner]

Go Scrubs Go...

Rest the stars I hope...

What would you rather have.. An un-needed game 63 win or another ring?

It's not about your instant gratification. It's about the long war.

[ShoogarBear]

They're playing in the TOYOTA Center and Obiwan didn't go? Isn't that like turning down a pilgrimage to Mecca?

[spurastic]

It's really strange to see Duncan in a suit sitting on the bench! score is 10-10

[bendmz]

Rasho with a dunk !!!!!!!

[bendmz]

i do belive this will become a perimeter game.....

[sa_butta]

When do the Spurs come back home tonight? Anybody going to the airport?

[ObiwanGinobili]

I think he was trying to be funny, and use his jinxing powers on Houston so the Spurs will win.

[bendmz]

there seems to be a shit load of empty seats....

[spurastic]

I'm watching on League Pass and there are not even any commercials during the breaks. I like that tho

[Kori Ellis]

That was awesome. Beckie held up a Spurstalk.com sign on camera for a long time.

:)

[dknights411]

Spurstalk.com sign in the crowd!!!

[Horry For 3!]

That was awesome. Beckie held up a Spurstalk.com sign on camera for a long time.

:)
Yeah, I saw her and spurschick. I couldn't read what all it said I just know it said Hi 2 all spurstalk.com members

[dknights411]

there seems to be a shit load of empty seats....

The Astros are playing at Minute Maid right now. Where would YOU be if you were a Houston sports fan?

[ObiwanGinobili]

That was awesome. Beckie held up a Spurstalk.com sign on camera for a long time.

[ObiwanGinobili]

[Despot]

Kori, how are you posting? I thought that I saw you on TV also, or are you posting from your phone?

[Kori Ellis]

I'm not there; I'm at home.

[ObiwanGinobili]

I think that was Beckie aka Rashofan that you saw.

[Kori Ellis]

Haha.. I took a picture of my TV for you guys.

I think she has on one of those basketball net hats they sell at the games. :lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

so the silver and black army has marched into houston.....

[carina_gino20]

so is this going to be an All-Scrubs game all throughout?

[dknights411]

Finley goes nuts!!!

[bendmz]

way to close out the half......

[Manu20]

Finley! :tu

[Manu20]

:00.0 Halftime
:00.0 HOU - Offensive rebound
:00.0 HOU - L. Head misses a 43-foot three-pointer from near midcourt

Spurs lead 43-36.

[loveforthegame]

What's with Finley and ending the quarters with 3's? I like it. 3 b-2-b.

[boutons_]

Michael has one of the prettiest, most effortless jumpers in the NBA.

Fucking tear-jerking beautiful when they go in! :lol

Come on, Mikey, Let's Do It in the Playoffs, too!

[Dre_7]

Finley needs the ball at the end of the 1st and 2nd qtr. This year he has hit alot of buzzer beaters to end the 1st and 2nd qtrs. :lol

[Obstructed_View]

I for one am really glad ESPN decided to show us Dallas getting pounded instead of the Spurs. They are already into garbage time with the 20 minute Cuban interview.

[usckk]

Why is SpursTalk getting honored at the game?

[Kori Ellis]

Why is SpursTalk getting honored at the game?

:lol

A group of fans from the forum roadtripped to Houston.

I don't think SpursTalk is exactly getting honored :lol

[Spurologist]

All hail to Spurstalk

[UtownSpur]

that was very cool..when i saw it...i was kinda like...hey i know a spurstalk LOL...took me a bit to realize who it was!

[yeahone]

going for the record

[Melmart1]

I think she has on one of those basketball net hats they sell at the games. :lol

Hey, I have one of those! :lol

[Jimcs50]

.

Just got back from walking with the wife and found out that the Spurs are killing the Rockets now.....cool.

[Jimcs50]

Barry is a FLAMETHROWER!!!!! :elephant

[carina_gino20]

haha at Barry with the jumpball and the three:lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

So who's been playing point most of the time?

[Tek_XX]

Barry is just teeing off on these open threes

[carina_gino20]

So who's been playing point most of the time?

so far it's been beno and brent

[Tek_XX]

Mutombo is still waving the finger? That got old a long time ago

[Spurologist]

Barry is a FLAMETHROWER!!!!! :elephant

Kevin Harlan has to be one of the best play by play announcers today.

Right Between the EYES!!!

[Spurologist]

Mutombo is still waving the finger? That got old a long time ago

:nope

[spurastic]

I'm having to watch the Rockets' TV here in Austin and Brent's brother is one of the commentators.

[Spurologist]

Damn I didn't know this game was getting streamed online

[Tek_XX]

Im gonna guess that pop told Barry to shoot whenver he gets the chance.

[Gerryatrics]

I saw Jon at the commentator's table, I have to listen to Chinese commentary though. Has he been ragging on Brent?

[yeahone]

breant has been playing really good lately

[Kori Ellis]

Brent has been really good since they almost traded him. They should have almost traded him last season :)

[Jimcs50]

The Rocket color guy said that Sacto will beat SA in Rd 1

[T Park]

BRent Barry getting the offense run through him??

Man, wonder who suggested that in the 63 win thread.....

[mookie2001]

oh shit that was manuownage
I didnt know tom delay played for the rockets

[T Park]

Jon Barry is just bitter that the Spurs passed over him two summers ago in 04.

Hell, Im bitter about it too.

[Jimcs50]

BRent Barry getting the offense run through him??

Man, wonder who suggested that in the 63 win thread.....


me

[Tek_XX]

The Rocket color guy said that Sacto will beat SA in Rd 1

A bitter bitter man

[yeahone]

brent killing from the outside

[spurastic]

Jon is thinking Brent is hustling and making 3s due to being competitive with him but he seems proud also. There's a lot of kidding re brothers going on.

[T Park]

Im suprised Finley has played as much as he has.

[yeahone]

Im suprised Finley has played as much as he has.

15 minutes after 3 quarters

[milkyway21]

[efrem1]

A meaningless game. Shock among shocks. Just waiting for the results of the LA-NO/OKC game.

[spurastic]

sa 68 hous 64

[E20]

Why did Nazr and NVE get techs?

[milkyway21]

Bruce Bowen = 82 games again

4th yr - 82 games

this man is the IRON MAN :praise

[carina_gino20]

houston making a run and van gundy looks bored..:lol

[spurastic]

Nazr was called for a f. foul and nve complained too long re a foul on him that wasn't called.

SA 1:49 Melvin Sanders made Layup (5 PTS)

Yeaaaaah! Go default player, go!

[bendmz]

leave it to Beano to fuck it up....

[FromWayDowntown]

Beno is still a wizard against pressure.

[Kori Ellis]

Frickin Beno travels in this scrub game on a critical possession? :pctoss

[ChumpDumper]

Beno is still a wizard against pressure. Beat me to it.

Yep, Beno is now awesome against the press.

[Spurologist]

:18.9 SA - Traveling on B. Udrih

Nice

[Kori Ellis]

Yep, Beno is now awesome against the press.

:lmao

[MannyIsGod]

Beno is officialy not allowed to bring the ball up in the playoffs.

[MannyIsGod]

Damn, The ST crew on TV again.

[yeahone]

scrubs lets get the record

[Horry For 3!]

How tha fuck they call that a foul?

[T Park]

but I thought I was a broken record.....


Package him and Mohammed up this summer, see what you get.


Either him and Mohammed or him and Barry.

[Slo spurs fan]

Where the FUCK was his teammates to help him?

[T Park]

Typical Slo Spurs fan.

Always with the excuses.

[1Parker1]

[Old School Chic]

:madrun Hurry up and finish the game with a win!

[T Park]

Run a play for Barry or Finley.

[FromWayDowntown]

Typical Slo Spurs fan.

Always with the excuses.

He's right. Beno shouldn't have picked the ball up, but once he did, his teammates did nothing to help him.

[Spurologist]

The ref looked like he didn't BLOW hard enough. A quick call would be nice.

[ShoogarBear]

I don't FUCKING believe it.

[Leetonidas]

What a stupid pass. He missed the first though.

[bendmz]

and BEANO does it a-fucking-gain !!!!

[Horry For 3!]

Alston chokes :lmao

[ShoogarBear]

Consider this my Beno turnover bitch. I posted the original one in the wrong thread.

[MannyIsGod]

Beno is so damn scared with that ball. Thats a horrible attribute to have when you're a PG at the end of the game.

[Spurologist]

:07.5 HOU - R. Alston misses the second free throw
:07.5 HOU - R. Alston misses the first free throw

[Old School Chic]

I don't FUCKING believe it.


:oops

[Horry For 3!]

Freakin Beno :pctoss only up by 2

[Leetonidas]

Beno is so damn scared with that ball. Thats a horrible attribute to have when you're a PG at the end of the game.

This is why we got Van Exel, though I'm fairly sure Tony will be closing games out, not Beno.

[Kori Ellis]

Damn, TimmyD just cussed Beno out.

"Don't jump in the air. Hold the fuckin' ball."

[yeahone]

Defense Guys

[Spurologist]

I don't think pussy ball is allowed in the playoffs. This is highly discouraging

[ShoogarBear]

:oops
Sorry. :madrun

[Old School Chic]

Damn, TimmyD just cussed Beno out.

"Don't jump in the air. Hold the fuckin' ball."

I feel sorry for Beno :lol

[E20]

It's the last game of the season and it doesn't really count and people still blow phat loads all over the computer screen. :wow

[Horry For 3!]

63!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bendmz]

bout damn time........................

[Horry For 3!]

63!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Leetonidas]

New franchise record.

[Horry For 3!]

I said 63 wins before the season :elephant

[Old School Chic]

63!

[Pistons < Spurs]

congrats on the record

[NZHayden]

yay

[T Park]

It's the last game of the season and it doesn't really count and people still blow phat loads all over the computer screen

It doesn't but this is an oppurtunity for guys like Beno to show what they got before the playoffs.

Beno earns a big fat fucking F.


Van Exel proved why hes gonna back up Parker in the playoffs.

Beno proved what me and TIMVP have been saying all year too.

Sad.

[yeahone]

yeeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh recornd

[FromWayDowntown]

It's the last game of the season and it doesn't really count and people still blow phat loads all over the computer screen. :wow

I think, with guys like Beno, there's still a need to have some proof that he can handle pressure, regardless of the game. He lost his place in the rotation during the Finals because he couldn't deal with the pressure the Pistons put on him. He struggled with the pressure the Nuggets applied in Round 1 -- particularly at the end of the first half of Game 1 of that series. I'd say that if Beno is struggling with making decisions against pressure in a meaningless game against end-of-the-bench types, it doesn't bode well for how he'd handle pressure situations in the playoffs. But that's probably just me.

[Old School Chic]

Sorry. :madrun

:spin 69!

I mean 63!!!!!!!!

[carina_gino20]

Damn, TimmyD just cussed Beno out.

"Don't jump in the air. Hold the fuckin' ball."

:wow

[T Park]

And Bob HIll's legacy goes down the drain.


Congrats Pop for coaching the best Spurs regular season team in team history. :)

[dknights411]

All we need is 16 more wins before we can OFFICIALLY dub the 06 Spurs the Greatest Spurs team, ever!

63-19. WooHoo!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

:spin 69!




WOOOHOOO!!!!

[Cherry]

63 wins :elephant :elephant :elephant

...and soon...Playoff time :princess

[Spurologist]

It's the last game of the season and it doesn't really count and people still blow phat loads all over the computer screen. :wow

ughg Imagine Beno dribbling the ball up court against a Detroit. Oh wait that I already happened. He was a turnover machine. I thought he would have at least improved knowing he was exactly careful with the ball. If pop plays him, manu, barry or tp should be on the floor with him. He is playing against scrubs!! Imagine that type of defense except a bit better. yeah a lot better.

[efrem1]

And Bob HIll's legacy goes down the drain.



Wah. Wah. Wah. WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. :lol

I wouldn't expect Beno to be playing against Detroit when the game is close or anyother Playoff game. This is a scrub game so I could care less if Beno made a lay-up on the opposing teams basket.

[bendmz]

Finally POP has made a believer of me.... I was one of those dirtballs that could not forget Bob Hill, but now..... Sorry Bob, POP IS THE MAN !!!!!!!!

[ShoogarBear]

:spin 69!

I mean 63!!!!!!!!
:drunk

[spurastic]

Since Rockets couldn't get any ad sponsors, we are getting to listen to the commentators chatter when they think they are off camera. Patty is talking about if anyone else had the ribs and that she is going to have to go toss. They also spent a time during time outs by drawing on the computer with hearts, etc. hummmmm

Hooray vBookie! :)

63! You know, checking out the standings, I just realized that we ended up one game behind the Pistons for best season record in the League--Spurs 63-19, Pistons 64-18--and that's with our two best players injured for most of the year and the Pistons top 5 all healthy. It's gonna be a dogfight in the finals. Let the real season begin!

Wouldn't read too much into that. The Pistons dropped their last 2 and 3 of their last 4, when nothing mattered anymore. In the regular season, the gap between the teams was much wider than 1 game.

[bendmz]

:lol

what the three rings weren't enough?

after waiting 25 years for the first one......nope !!! :wakeup

[Slo spurs fan]

Good job Spurs. Beno was a hell of a player for the Rockets.

He almost won the game for them.

:pctoss
Yep and Fabricio's inbound pass was great! :rolleyes
But wait! There is noone bitching about that! I wonder why?

[T Park]

I mean, in that Pop was better than Bob HIll.

[T Park]

lol

its always someone else's fault with the Slovenians.... :lol

[ChumpDumper]

Yep and Fabricio's inbound pass was great! :rolleyes
But wait! There is noone bitching about that! I wonder why?Fabio's inbounds pass sucked ass to be sure. I just don't expect him to be inbounding agasint Detroit or anything like that. Many expact Beno to be bringing the ball up against the Pistons.

[timvp]

If Beno can't bring up the ball against Rafer Alston. . .

lol

its always someone else's fault with the Slovenians.... :lol
No Tpark! It was really stupid play by Beno, BUT it wouldn't hurt if there was al least ONE teammate to help him when he grabed the ball.

[T Park]

I don't.

If Beno is bringing the ball up against them, it better be in the 4th quarter withe the Spurs in the lead.

[T Park]

If Beno can't bring up the ball against Rafer Alston. . .

I dread thinking about him going against Jason Hart... :lol

No it wouldn't, but as a pg you NEVER pick up your dribble when your forced into trouble.

Funny Hill slam from their local fishwrap...


Back in January -- when Bob Hill met the people in charge of selling, promoting and marketing the Sonics -- whatever the coach has, it was on display and everybody recognized it .He dressed like a basketball coach on and off the court. He spoke like a basketball coach, and he carried himself like, well, a basketball coach. The execs walked away convinced their team was in the capable hands of a man who, if nothing else, looked as if he knew what he was doing. :rollinThe Sonics officially acknowledged that Monday by exercising the option on Hill's contract and bringing him back for another season. -- Seattle Times

I think Bob Hill is like OEM tires you get with your car. I once heard that the car companies wanted them "cheap, black and round...and they don't have to be black or round" :lol

True.

[Trainwreck2100]

Yep and Fabricio's inbound pass was great! :rolleyes
But wait! There is noone bitching about that! I wonder why?

Yeah but we lost all hope in Fabri after the first week

[E20]

If Beno can't bring up the ball against Rafer Alston. . .
Skip is a proven streetball legend. He can get himself out of intense D and dish it out as well. No flaming.

[Slo spurs fan]

Yeah and I won't lost hope in Beno. NEVER! :depressed

[T Park]

Beno's regression is quite disturbing.

Afraid the Spurs will have to go PG shopping this summer.


Would be nice if they could get a sign and trade Speedy for Beno this offseason.

At least he can bring the ball up.

[Trainwreck2100]

Yeah and I won't lost hope in Beno. NEVER! :depressed

All Fabri needs to learn is how to bend his knees.

[T Park]

Fabri needs to gain jumping ability.

If he could do that, Id put him ahead of Nazr in the rotation.

[exstatic]

He should stick to fucking streetball, then. The Rox GM should be fired for trading James for this AND1 assclown, and signing Slomile Swift.

Yeah but you can't learn how to jump without bending your knees first.

Jealous.................I feel bad for you man :depressed

[exstatic]

Jealous? Why would I want to be a poser? That's what Skip To My Boo Hoo is. Sam Mitchel made him cry last year. Speedy Claxton is quicker, has better hops, and has a heart about six times the size of the shriveled wasted mess that is in Rafer's chest. He's a baby and mentally weak. He should stick to making AND1 mix tapes and leave the NBA to men.

Alston is also showing lots of improvment year to year in the NBA, I hate it when old people bust a nut over And1 now-a-days, it's more annoying when you hear from Vietnam Vets how they won the war.

He regressed this year. Wake ip..

Oh so we hate Vietnam vets.

Little punk.

[E20]

I don't know how he's regressed. He averaged 14.2 points a game last year with Toronto, now with the Rockets and with Mcgrady and Yao, his scoring average dropped down a little, while his assists went up, which is considerably better than 7.8 PPG in 2002-2003 and 10.1 PPG 2003-2004.


Oh so we hate Vietnam vets.
I never said you guys hated Vietnam Vets, I never said I hated Vietnam Vets. I was making a stereotypical remark about old Vietnam Vets and trying to correlate it with NBA purists and their hate for And1. Nice way to put words in my mouth though.

BEHIND THE SCENES

There was one final bit of drama hovering over the Spurs after Popovich decided to put Duncan on the inactive list. Duncan — who earlier in the season called the NBA's dress code "a load of crap" — had to decide whether to borrow someone's sport coat or remain in the locker room.

Though his teammates suggested he try to squeeze into Finley's suit jacket, Duncan settled for borrowing Marks' black coat.

"I had an idea he might be icing it down tonight," Marks said. "Hence, I brought the one black jacket he told me he liked. I knew he wouldn't bring one."

The latest addition to Duncan's wardrobe drew mixed reviews. Parker and Ginobili thought Duncan looked "uncomfortable." :lmao

"I actually thought he looked pretty good," Finley said. "But he looks better in that tank top and shorts."

.....TP is mocking Timmy again. :D

[angel_luv]

I don't know if everyone is aware but a group of fans from the forum went to Houston for this game -- Angel Luv, Rashofan, SpursChick, Silver21_Black20, enigma, KEDA and more.

Angel messaged me a little while ago saying that Rasho walked by them and said Hi, How are you? and now she's swooning over it. :lmao

Anyway, the game is pretty irrelevant other than the possible 63rd win, but it's cool that SpursTalk is being represented at the Toyota Center tonight.



:lmao :lmao

when she comes back and posts her synapsis of the game, that particular incident will need 4 paragraphs at least. book it!


Sho actually stopped to talk to us. And yes, I was and am delighted about it. :D

[angel_luv]

Two sentences- so there Obi! :lol

I think that was really sweet of Sean. And while I don't think Timmy was really enjoying his outfit, I thought he looked handsome. :)
