The Official Game 2 Complaint Thread

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Where is the killer instinct? The desire? The fire? Tony Parker is playing like a typical cocky ass Frenchman thinking he can just show up and get 20 and 10. He might... but it'll be 10 turnovers. Totally nonchalant with the ball.

Duncan is playing stubborn as well, and we're getting worked on the defensive end.

Show me some fucking fire San Antonio. Typically spineless showing...

[ChumpDumper]

This game blog is fucking Aggieless.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This is my annual call to some steel juevos thread Chump, STFU.

[ChumpDumper]

Actually it's an every-other-game call.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Well fucking deal with it.

Show me some fucking fire damnit. Go for the mother fucking kill shot. :makemyday

[ChumpDumper]

I deal with it the way I always do. With humor that pisses people off.

[exstatic]

Well, someone has to scream like a girl. Walton doesn't post much anymore. Congratulations, Aggie, you're the sub.

[T Park]

typical spineless showing?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

You've got room to talk there ex, you hate on Nazr like he kicked your dog.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Tpark - every time this team is in position to put its foot on someone's throat, they show up like it's a fucking pre-season game. Everyone saw it coming. Pop even talked about it today.

And now they tipped it up, same ol' same ol'...

[Mijo]

It's not over by any means but I agree with AHF. I expect more out of this team.

[exstatic]

The difference is that I'm not ANGRY with Nazr, AHF. I just recognize that he had better be packing. He is what he is, which is an average 6'10" guy who plays no defense.

[E20]

Spurs need to make some defensive adjustments. Mainly, the coverage of Bonzi Wells. Put Bowen on him, other players seem to be feeding of his energy tonight as well. I wouldn't expect Kevin Martin to be playing this well against the Spurs.

Well, maybe not everbody on the Kings is feeding off Bonzi, considering the fact that Bibby is 1 for 7 and everybody else on the Kings aren't playing that well.

The main problem I see here is that Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili can't guard Wells 1-on-1 and I think Pop should put Bowen on him. :duh

[ShoogarBear]

It seems to me the biggest problem is the defense being played on Bonzi. Strangely not mentioned.

[E20]

Also, the Spurs need to play harder and smarter, I'm seeing some bone-headed moves being made.

[td4mvp21]

duncan and parker need to show up. everyone else but them are.

[E20]

Now, this is more like it. :smokin

[DDS4]

Take your medication and simmer down. Game ain't over yet.

[cheguevara]

Fuckin same dumbass as usual aggie

[Mijo]

Show me some fucking fire San Antonio. Thank you Spurs. I'd prefer to see it earlier but I'm glad it's there now.

[Darrin]

Spurs suck. What are they even doing in the playoffs?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It seems to me the biggest problem is the defense being played on Bonzi. Strangely not mentioned.

Well, I don't want to be accused of criticizing Pop, because according to the gospel around here he's a genius.

Apparently geniuses think that Manu trying to check Bonzi in the post is a good idea :rolleyes

[Nikos]

Well, I don't want to be accused of criticizing Pop, because according to the gospel around here he's a genius.

Apparently geniuses think that Manu trying to check Bonzi in the post is a good idea :rolleyes

Actually Bonzi flat out scored on Rasho and Duncan from a FACE UP attacking/driving position in the paint by just being aggressive. Bonzi had one good move on Manu that wasn't exactly a post up, and pushed him off for the score underneath on another play. Everything else Bonzi has got is just taking it hard at a stationary Duncan or Rasho, who are right there in his face but are simply getting punked by a 6'5" off guard.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Nikos, point is that Bowen should be checking Bonzi, not Manu or Finley. Bonzi is just putting his head down and driving every time, I like Bowen drawing charges more than Finley.

I guess I shouldn't be suprised about tonight's lack of mental focus. This is how we've looked every time Pop gives the team a day off before a game.

[smeagol]

Aggie, go start your thread blaming Pop, already :rolleyes

[1Parker1]

AHF, You need to at least wait until the game is over and see if the Spurs lose before you start these threads.

[CharlieMac]

This is my annual call to some steel juevos thread Chump, STFU.


It just wouldn't be the playoffs without a couple of these threads. These are actually more enjoyable than, "The Spurs are awesome!" type threads.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Smeagol, if you think he's doing a good job with the matchups and defensive strategy tonight, you can go fuck yourself.

Pop's been as big a pussy tonight with his coaching as our guys have been with their play (particularly at the defensive end).

[ducks]

1:55 SAC - S. Abdur-Rahim hits the first free throw
1:55 SA - Shooting foul on M. Ginobili
2:15 SA - T. Parker makes an 8-foot running jumper in the lane
2:23 SA - T. Parker defensive rebound
2:25 SAC - M. Bibby misses a 25-foot three-pointer from the top of the arc

[CharlieMac]

Smeagol, if you think he's doing a good job with the matchups and defensive strategy tonight, you can go fuck yourself.

"Fire Pop?"

:hat

[Nikos]

Has Rahim passed Duncan on the NBA Power Forward Ranking list?

Seriously, even before Tim's foul trouble he has sized him and scored on him at will, and everyone else. What the hell is with Duncan? Can't he score or play D on Rahim? Is Rahim really that good?

To me Duncan needs 4-5 straight dominant games to make up for this horrible display. He simply needs to do more on both ends, this is unacceptable.

[Nikos]

The SPURS will NOT win this series unless Duncan steps up.

The Kings won't even compete with the Mavericks if they happened to win this series. The Spurs simply can't defend underneath.

Bonzi can have 5 straight 30pt games along with Artest, but if Rahim is going to score whenever he wants and STOP Duncan, it doesn't really matter.

[IcemanCometh]

You fuckin' people. You have no idea how to defend a title. All you did was weaken a team today, Aggy. That's all you did. You put fan's lives in danger. Sweet dreams, son.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Shouldn't you be sucking down Vince's manjuice or something, Ice?

[IcemanCometh]

shouldn't you be sleeping with your sheep and eating little debbies

[ShoogarBear]

You want me on that wall.

[IcemanCometh]

and now go fuck yourself

[smeagol]

AHF, Spurs lose and you will blame it on Pop. It happens all the time.

[smeagol]

AHF, Spurs lose and you will blame it on Pop. It happens all the time.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

smeagol, Pop could start Beno, Barry, Marks, Bowen, and Sanders and you'd still kiss his ass.

[1Parker1]

:lmao :lmao AHF, did you change the original title of this thread....now that the Spurs have finally shown you that they aren't "gutless"?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lol I think someone else who had their feelings hurt by the original thread did. Still trying to figure out who the other double secret probation MOD is for the evening.

1parker1, you'll learn, I start one of these every year in the playoffs when we pull this shit. It's the Spurstalk version of a coach cusisng out a ref and getting tossed for the good of the team :lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

BTW, thank you to Manu Ginobili and Brent Barry for answering the call.

[samikeyp]

I don't think AHF was trying to "chicken little" this. He had some good points....Spurs came out flat. Thankfully they woke up and can still get this game.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Why is Pop fucking with the line up again now in OT? POPDAMNIT.

[Mijo]

:huh I've had plantar fascist(bad spelling) before, not to the extent I needed injections though. To see Duncan play this way leads me to believe his majic is over. He should be dominating.

[smeagol]

smeagol, Pop could start Beno, Barry, Marks, Bowen, and Sanders and you'd still kiss his ass.
You got me confused with TPark :lol

[smeagol]

Hey Aggie, come back here and admit Pop drew a fantastic play to tie the game (or at least that's what Magic and Kenny said)

[nkdlunch]

POP took the last play out of his sleeve and is the reason we won. Blasphemy if u complain about Pop tonight

[Spurologist]

and now go fuck yourself

va te faire foutre. I love the french version

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'll give Pop credit. The play for Barry was ballsy and something completely out of the norm for Pop.

Here's to more pleasant surprises at the offensive end the rest of the way :hat

(we'll need them to beat Detroit)

[baseline bum]

The Spurs got called for a lot of ticky-tack crap tonight in regulation. Sac had a 38-24 edge in free throws before OT (then the Spurs outshot them 12-0). Duncan got hit a few times in the post and nothing, while anyone who breathed on Shareef in the post got whistled.

[ShoogarBear]

The real clever part about that play was having Brent bouce it off the rim to waste another half-second before going in. That was some high basketball IQ there.

[yeahone]

haha

[E20]

I never wanna see Tony take a jumper again.

[IX_Equilibrium]

Typically spineless showing...


You're a chronic fucking whiner.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Did my post work out or not? I am the anti-hex to Jim's hex :lol

[MannyIsGod]

That play was the best play Pop has ever drawn up. It was incredible.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

The real clever part about that play was having Brent bouce it off the rim to waste another half-second before going in. That was some high basketball IQ there.

Remember Game 5 of Detroit when Horry missed his free throw on the and-1 off his shoulder-dislocating dunk? If he didn't set up the miss, then we would not have had the 2-to tie, 3 to win play to fall our way.

I think Manu Missed his free-throw in regulation so that he could set the Spurs up for another Playoff Last Second Heroic three! They're just toying with the their opponents.
They're good actors these Spurs.

[Kori Ellis]

Tony Parker is playing like a typical cocky ass Frenchman thinking he can just show up and get 20 and 10.

Tony Parker, PG 43 8-16 0-1 6-7 1 3 4 10 1 0 7 3 22

Good call :lmao

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

The real clever part about that play was having Brent bouce it off the rim to waste another half-second before going in. That was some high basketball IQ there.

That's quotable.

[polandprzem]

CLASSIC

I see bitching on the spurs and they are worth nothing but when they just happen to somehow win that game THEN THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THE CALL ??? :wtf

Classless

[baseline bum]

This was exactly the kind of game I wanted... one where the other team pretty much controlled things, and played a better game for the most part. I wanted something the Spurs would have to fight like hell for, and Sacramento made them work for everything they got. Watching this game was like watching the Lakers play badly during the three-peat. No matter what the score was, you knew they were going to find some way to stay alive and sneak out with the win in the end. The Spurs experienced really shined tonight, and I'm always most satisfied by seeing the Spurs find ways to win games they play badly in, because you need to do it at least a couple of times to win a title.

[T Park]

nothing like sucking ass for about 28 minutes out of 53, and winning.


Not exactly Sacramento's "best shot" but close to it.


Hopefully this was a bit of a wake up call, and they come out better friday.

[ShoogarBear]

If I never again see the Spurs play defense like the first half, that won't be long enough. Props to Bonzi and Martin and SAR for playing their asses off, though.

[OM_fever]

Having to battle to win is something important for the mental toughness of Spurs team.

Being obliged to adapt their game & plan and to win in an "heroic" way is something crucial for the rest of the competition. They will face other situation like that and they prove to themselves that they can react!

AHF, why always refers to frenchman when it's for criticizing & just Tony when he's doing fine? Problem of ego? Being boo by woman? :madrun

[TDMVPDPOY]

seriously we sucked in the first half playin from behind due to martin n wells killin us,

3rd quarter we came out strong, i was expecting us to keep these clowns under 16pts for the quarter, damn we had a 10pt lead and lost it when duncan picked up his 5th foul.

4th + OT, duncan played weak defense for 10mins which was very good, kept himself in the game, but still a presence on the court. i wanted to see more of him postin up down low since kings have no answer for him. sumtimes i think pop should just stop with the parker bs high pick and iso plays :(:(

anyway a win is a win, i take it.

[101A]

...and lost it when duncan picked up his 5th foul.

The REAL secret to SAR's emergence.


... i wanted to see more of him postin up down low since kings have no answer for him.

I didn't see the game (watched it via phone-cast) - was Tim gettin whistled for offensive fouls?

[Extra Stout]

So, can we go ahead and change AHF's little description from "Free Throw Coach" to "Popovich's Beeyotch" yet?

[boutons_]

"kings have no answer for him."

Kings had the same answer that has always pretty much neutralized Tim: front him plus perimeters players ready to sag, so IF he gets the ball, he's way out of the low block.

Tim shot some ugly, not-a-prayer bricks last night (nothing to do with his PF).

He needs to grow up, get smart, and quit bitchin at the refs every fucking time he shoots. That hasn't worked, has it?, and no-calls are FAR down the list of his problems.

He's learning from Nazr how to play defense.

Tim's so lackadaisical that when he actually shows some fire, it makes the NBA ads and highlight films. :lol He and Robert moseying down the court last night with no clue where the action was while Sac ran the ball up their backs in tranistion was horrible.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

AHF, why always refers to frenchman when it's for criticizing & just Tony when he's doing fine?

Just having fun with it... one of my roommates in college was French :lol Even he makes fun of his own culture's 'passivity'.

Kori - good call, I thought he was going to get to 10... turnovers.

[2centsworth]

POP took the last play out of his sleeve and is the reason we won. Blasphemy if u complain about Pop tonight
pop was genius on that play, but he was equally as bad when he took out Manu right after Tim sat with his 4th foul. Everyone knew it was a critical point in the game, spurs up by 10, but who was going to score. Manu answered the call on the 1st possession and then Pop sits him. Sac in the next 3 minutes tie the game with both Tim and Manu on the bench.

[kalikot_boy_kr]

Shut Up! Its A Game Baby! Dont Talk Like A Fetus!

[kalikot_boy_kr]

Whoever Complain Is A Fetus!lol!

[Hook Dem]

In case you haven't noticed, Parker dominates when the lane is pourous and Manu dominates when it isn't. Thank goodness they can do that! Looks like the other team has some adjustments to make. Be thankful we have the neans to do that!

[OM_fever]

"passivity" haggie? maybe you need to learn history :elephant ... (but no problem to have laugh on french, each country do the same, in France it's about Belgium...)

whatever, good to catch that victory, whoever is to blame for it :lol

Looking forward to check how Sacramanto will adapt their play now. Spurs is so balanced offensively that even on "bad" nights they managed to find a way to win... sounds good for the close futur!

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I'm just shocked that an "official complaint thread" only has 3 pages after 12 hours. If the Spurs had lost I figure it would have gotten big enough to crash the server.

This was a wake up call for the Spurs, thankfully they got out of bed just in time to win it.
