Spurs vs. Kings Game 3 -- Game Blog

[TDfan2007]

Justice.

[ballhog]

Every time Artest drives they call a foul. WTF?

[bonesinaz]

Artest-brick!

[T Park]

no shot attempts for Horry!??!

What the hell, pop pick and roll Beno to Horry at the top of the key!!!!!!!

[ducks]

tp 2 turnovers
manu 5 turnovers
wrong again ahf

[FloppinIsGreat]

That was a shit call. Need to call that shit on both ends or not at all

[Trifecta]

The MOMENTUM is SHIFTING!!!!!!

[TDfan2007]

Great rebounding by Rasho today.

[Leetonidas]

He missed both. :lol

[TDfan2007]

Beno has got to make those open 3's. Artest getting to the line at will.

[Trifecta]

All Night Long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Leetonidas]

This is bullshit. Artest is basically just throwing himself at people and drawing fouls. Faggot refs.

[ballhog]

WTF. Again?

[T Park]

Beno is goin Van Exel in the 3rd here.

[FloppinIsGreat]

WTF?? He's completely out of control!! B.S. calls

[Slo spurs fan]

Oh c'mmon Beno! Hit that three!

[NaS]

Golden opportunity for u guys when we missed 4 in a row.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Artest getting to the line like no other

[Dre_7]

Artest getting the calls in game 3.

But not hitting FTs

[TDfan2007]

Artest is pulling a Tim Duncan at the line.

[T Park]

5 points 9 boards.

How about a pick and pop for Rasho at the FT line?

How about anything other than Beno shooting :lol

[ballhog]

Artest's lip ain't fat enough yet.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Udrih is choking like no other

[Leetonidas]

Damnit Beno, hit a fucking three already! :flipoff

[TDfan2007]

Jesus Christ Beno make a shot man!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn if Beno would take one step in, he'd probably be 3-3.

[FloppinIsGreat]

Beno - note - quit shooting 3s

[Slo spurs fan]

Oh c'mmon Beno! Hit that three!
Fuck it! Now stop. :depressed

[Trifecta]

Just get two pts PLEASE!!!!!

Quit with the threes BENO!!!!!!

[T Park]

Beno aint shootin much better than Parker.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Udrih owned Bibby like no other

[ballhog]

Beno can't hit shots but doing everything else right.

[greyforest]

make a 3 bitchs!!!!!!!!!!11

[G-Nob]

How many players are the kings using tonight?? their starters sure are logging a lot of minutes. that can't be good for the fourth quarter stretch.

[Trifecta]

Horry Will Jack A Three!!!!!!

[T Park]

Spurs have got this game where they want it.

Pops got a tough decision between Rasho or Horry in the 4th.

[TDfan2007]

Horrible end to the quarter after a solid comeback.

[Dre_7]

Four points. That aint shit.

[ducks]

beno has just killed his good game
he is getting way to big for his big ego head

[Leetonidas]

God damn, even Horry aired that three. Tonight's not our night from the three point line.

[Tek_XX]

down 4, solid comeback, let's finish em off

[ballhog]

Sacramento hacking the hell out the Spurs.

[T Park]

sigh....

If they could shoot about 40% from three point land, theyd be up in this game.....

[bonesinaz]

Spurs down by 4 at end of the 3rd.

Go SPURS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I say we go Tim-Rasho-Finley-Ginobili-Parker

This game is ours, we are going to roll them in the fourth.

[boutons_]

excellent, Spurs got back to within 2 possessions to end 3rd qtr.

[Leetonidas]

Horrible end to the quarter after a solid comeback.

Couple missed open shots, I don't see what's so horrible. The Kings played a horrible quarter.

[FloppinIsGreat]

Right where we want them. The Kings are now looking tired. We just have to step it up one more notch to finish this one out. Nice tough game, glad the Kings have come to play

[Manu20]

Spurs trail 68-64 to start the 4th Q.

GO SPURS GO

[Tek_XX]

i think horrys shot was tipped

[Pistons < Spurs]

:flag: :flag: :flag: :flag:

[T Park]

Bring back in timmy at the 10 minute mark, then let him dominate....

[G-Nob]

bowen needs to wear bibby coming down the stretch

[ducks]

pop should have went to finley on the 3


4 points down is not bad considering the kings got a large lead in the 3 and spurs cut it back down and actually was down 6 at half and now down to 4

[boutons_]

Spurs outshooting, only -4 on RBs.

3Gs have abandoned the Spurs tonight, only 4/15.

[TDfan2007]

Couple missed open shots, I don't see what's so horrible. The Kings played a horrible quarter.

Missing too many easy ones down the stretch. So I guess dissapointing, not horrible.

[Trifecta]

Let's get TD in and have that 4th Qtr push!!!!!

We just need to stay close and hit a couple of timely shots!!!!

I guarantee Sacto will start to unravel.

[Dre_7]

I say we go Tim-Rasho-Finley-Ginobili-Parker

This game is ours, we are going to roll them in the fourth.

Rasho and Horry need to both get PT in the forth.

[ShoogarBear]

What we can't do is start relying on 3s. This game is going to be won in the paint.

[FloppinIsGreat]

sigh....

If they could shoot about 40% from three point land, theyd be up in this game.....
The Kings arent doubling and are taking the 3 away. Need to pound them inside with a steady dose of Timmy and if either Nazr or Rasho could do anything... Also, need the penetration to cause a collapes and then find open shooters.

just that Parker scored most of the points that fakobili and beno didn't along the season to qualify spurs at top seed, so now they have to show they can score points when TP is rarely offDuuuuur Engrish is the best duuuuur

[T Park]

despite the finish.

Big ups to Rasho Nesterovic.

Start his ass in game 4 Pop.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

beno has just killed his good game
he is getting way to big for his big ego head

This coming from a Tony Parker fan? :lmao Tony would have missed all three of those too, ducks.

[Slo spurs fan]

beno has just killed his good game
he is getting way to big for his big ego head
You are idiot. Those were all clean, good shots, just didn't fell in.

[Spurs Dynasty]

WOW ! They have some life afterall! I will eat my words and kiss the collective sweaty ass of the Spurs if they can pull this out after looking so bad.

[bonesinaz]

pop should have went to finley on the 3


I agree ducks. That was Horry's first shot of the game. (not counting FTs)

[ducks]

spurs are with in 4 with lines from these to so far after 3 quarters is amazing
M. Ginobili 22 2-5 0-2 1-2 0 3 3 5 0 0 2 5
T. Parker 23 3-12 0-0 0-0 0 2 5 2 1 0 2 6

[boutons_]

Seems like the Kings lost something at halftime.

We'll see if they can re-find it in the 4th qtr.

Spurs came back strong, now turn up that defense in the 4th, and keep up the RBs.

[FloppinIsGreat]

4th Quarter. Championship Time. Gotta go to watch, not type...

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[Leetonidas]

Great defense to open the quarter.

[themvp]

Lets go Spurs!!!!

[Trifecta]

Sacto STILL cold -- let's take advantage!!!!!!

[Leetonidas]

Tim is owning!

[NASpurs]

Td!!

[spursparker9]

just win this for godness sake....!!

[ballhog]

Good job Tim.

[Trifecta]

Td!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

2 point game!!!!

[ducks]

This coming from a Tony Parker fan? :lmao Tony would have missed all three of those too, ducks.
tp would not force those long shots that are not needed now

[Leetonidas]

Right when the Spurs can tie, the refs call some bullshit.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

This will only be the True Duncan Form if we end up winning tonight.
And this looks like it.
So no way we will lose tonight.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

tp would not force those long shots that are not needed now

He already forced five jumpers tonight. Wake the fuck up ducks.

[wildbill2u]

Within 2. Let's see if SAC cracks.

[Vashner]

Moderator. You are an idiot. You can't keep me out. I can come from different addresses. You stupid cunt. Go fuck yourself. Spurs will lose tonight. So go feed your fat self from refrigerator. Dumb Bitch!

Actually we can track your ass down. Ever seen that movie Enemy of the State with Wil Smith?

[Leetonidas]

[Cant_Be_Faded]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAh boi

[NASpurs]

[ducks]

told you pop should have went to mike not horry


mike is on fire

[Borosai]

I think they heard me insulting them through my tv...finally!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

We'll be fine as long as Parker stays on the pine the rest of the way. Beno is playing lockdown D. Believe

[themvp]

Lets just keep on good defense.

[RON ARTEST]

:depressed

[T Park]

TIMMMEEEE OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT SACCCC RAMENTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


(cue rock and roll part 2)


ooo ah :smokin

[Vashner]

Na I pressed the emergency button

>415162342

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I still think we shoulda given Duncan the ball again on that play, oh well though, Duncan is asserting himself and that is all that matters

[FloppinIsGreat]

Exactly. Almost every game the Spurs do one of the following:
1) Get a fast start to build a 15+ lead only to let it slide in the 3rd. Win the game in the 4th.

2)Start shitty to be behind at half, but cut it to under 10 by half. Kick it up in 3rd to take a lead, then let the lead slide and take a slight deficit. Kick it up again defensively and offensively at end of 4th to win.

The games they lose they either get behind by more than 15 at half or by more than 15 late in 3rd. They usually fight back at the end but come up short with little time left.

If they come out big in 3rd and keep it to almost even going into the 4th, the Kings will not have the legs to keep up if the Spurs put in a spurt.


It's starting to take shape...

[Trifecta]

The BIG QUAKE HAS HIT NORTHERN CAL!!!!!!!

[NASpurs]

27-11 run for the Spurs

[T Park]

Props to Beno for steppin up.

I love eating crow when its for the good of the team :)

[wildbill2u]

We're bound to start hitting some 3s. Keep shooting guys, TD and Rasho will get the ball if you miss.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

well ginobili have 82 games of rest on the bench, if it makes 5 turn over, its a miracle!

Didn't see your gay ass after the game the other night. Wonder why....

32 and 9

[TDfan2007]

Damn, two close misses in a row.

[NASpurs]

BS make up call on Beno

[Leetonidas]

That's two three's that have rattled out...geez.

[Trifecta]

Weak Call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ballhog]

Bibby is out of control trying to get a call.

[T Park]

go to the goddamn hole

why are we shooting jumpers?!??!?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

That was a make up for the last time down when Bibby got hacked by TD.

[Trifecta]

Sacto losing their cool again!!!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

T on Wells!!!

[T Park]

pick and roll manu and duncan going to the basket

Do it pop :tu

[NASpurs]

hahaha a T on Wells

It's all going downhill for them

[ballhog]

Ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

[greyforest]

why was he talking shit to refs?

the call is in his favor!

[Leetonidas]

Technical on Wells.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Quit shooting threes

Take it to the rack, the refs are calling everything in the lane.

[Leetonidas]

Okay, this is just ridiculous.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Oh great, referee pissing match.........

[Leetonidas]

Quit shooting threes

Take it to the rack, the refs are calling everything in the lane.

When you're wide open... :smokin

[Trifecta]

What Kind Of Foul Was That!!!!!

[wildbill2u]

Tightening up. Neither team has hit a shot for several minutes.

[Pistons < Spurs]

damn

[Leetonidas]

No shot, but I like the intensity.

[Trifecta]

Udrih Is A Fouling Machine Right Now!!!!!!!!

[TDfan2007]

Damn, Tim's missing some easy ones.

[ballhog]

Why no call on Artest reaching in on Manu?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lol Kwame Brown you punk ass.

[ducks]

Quit shooting threes

Take it to the rack, the refs are calling everything in the lane.


tell that to beno

[WalterBenitez]

hi there are we gonna win or what?

[T Park]

wtf tim??

miss a layup??

Come on man....

[Leetonidas]

Oh my fucking God. This is just getting fucking annoying.

[T Park]

uh oh

in comes parker

Aggie's worst nightmare :lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Oh shit Parker is back in, there goes the ball game.

And yeah... just fouled Bibby 27 feet away from the bucket, the Kings are now in the bonus.

Fucking bench him POP.

[ballhog]

Game over. Too many fouls already. The fix is in.

[Leetonidas]

Let Barry run the point.

[T Park]

is bibby goin to the hole?

cause the fucker has gotten three fouls on three players in a row....

[greyforest]

Why no call on Artest reaching in on Manu?

terrible refs?

[Trifecta]

KOBE WANTS SOME NASH!!!!!
===================================

WE need Duncan down low again -- draw some fouls on Sacto

[spursparker9]

use barry as point guard please....

[T Park]

let Barry run point and guard bibby

bibby isnt all that quick...

[NASpurs]

Fucking refs should just let them play the game

[Leetonidas]

A good lineup would be:

Tim - Horry - Barry - Finley - Manu

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It's amazing Parker even could get his shoes tied tonight.

[Trifecta]

The refs need to call that illegal D the way Sacto is collapsing in the lane!!!

[T Park]

well that was a long time we had that lead haha..

[Leetonidas]

Tim Duncan!!!

[NASpurs]

Td With The Banker!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Barry at PG? Hell, I'd play Marks at point before I'd send Tony back in tonight.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Tim!

[Trifecta]

Td!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On Fireeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

[TDfan2007]

What a shot by tim bailing us out again.

[greyforest]

tim looking like a 30 pt game

bout time

[wildbill2u]

Difference is in free throws. We're 8-13 and they are 21-29

[T Park]

get the lead, give it back up

time out

[Trifecta]

We need to get our defensive composure back again!!!!!!

[Manu20]

7:16 SA - Full timeout (Timeout #4)
7:24 SAC - Layup by B. Wells. Assist: B. Miller
7:35 SA - T. Duncan makes shot
7:50 SAC - Personal foul on K. Thomas
8:08 SAC - M. Bibby hits the second free throw
8:08 SAC - M. Bibby hits the first free throw
8:08 SA - Personal foul on T. Parker
8:15 SA - T. Parker enters game for B. Udrih
8:15 SAC - K. Thomas enters game for K. Martin
8:15 SA - Personal foul on B. Udrih

Spurs trail 76-75.

[GrandeDavid]

The refs are buscetas!

[Dre_7]

Good Time Out by Pop.

[Leetonidas]

The Spurs just need to calm down and execute. Pull Tony's ass out, he's playing very reckless. Let Barry run the point, surround Tim with shooters (Barry, Finley, Horry, Manu) and let him go to work. He's on fire.

[T Park]

theyve obviously been more agressive.

Sounds like if Ginobili, and DUncan would drive more they would get calls, as opposed to jackin up 15 and 19 foot jumpers.

[Dre_7]

If SA had played like this all game, or at least some in the first half, it would be over by now!

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Great game smells like it could go OT. Spurs should just keep feeding Duncan down low.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Our D goes to shit again when Tony comes back in. He's just playing like the Maginot Line tonight, get him out of there.

[ballhog]

Cool VW commercial.

[themvp]

If SA had played like this all game, or at least some in the first half, it would be over by now!


IF.

[FloppinIsGreat]

Difference is in free throws. We're 8-13 and they are 21-29
Before the 4th that was because the Kings were aggressive and we were not. The refs have gotten completely shitty in the 4th... they need to start calling that ticky tack BS on Sac. to even things up. We have to attack on both ends now more than ever in this game.

[FloppinIsGreat]

:flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag:

[Trifecta]

I would hate to see this effort wasted tonight!!!

The Spurs showed me something -- let's focus down the stretch!

The Kings are going to pound it inside to draw fouls!!!!!

[TDfan2007]

not a good shot by mike.

[Trifecta]

Bad possession

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Mother fuckers... QUIT. SHOOTING. THREES.

[T Park]

bad time to miss a three Fin....

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

If someone doesn't take it to the rack I'm going to go Ghostal.

[Trifecta]

Thomas was riding Tim like he was connected at the hip with velcro

[greyforest]

rest of spurs need to step up like tim

[Vashner]

*harp*

[Trifecta]

Finley is getting his heat check on!

[T Park]

gotta get barry back in there.

He can put some height on Bibby and give him problems.

[Leetonidas]

What the fuck man that should be an and one!

[Trifecta]

Where's the continuation!!!!

[T Park]

fin 4-7 12 points

nother solid night for the Fin dog.

[Tek_XX]

come on timmy make them FTs

[Trifecta]

Miller needs to get his acting degree!!!!

[Leetonidas]

Tim waits too long when he shoots...

[TDfan2007]

C'mon Tim hit these FT's.

[Trifecta]

Achilles Heel!!!!!

[Tek_XX]

stops!!!!!!!!

[T Park]

now tims gonna go into cantmakeaft mode now...

fuck.

[Leetonidas]

Why the fuck is it a foul when you have your hands up?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn that ref just fucked us twice in like 5 seconds.

[Trifecta]

We will lose this game AT THE LINE!!!!!

[ducks]

mike bibby was due a good game he sucked last 2 games

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

now tims gonna go into cantmakeaft mode now...

When is he NOT in that mode?

[ballhog]

Sac must have most points from line.

[WalterBenitez]

TD is oj, what about Tony and Manu??

[ducks]

mike finley has more points then either tp and manu

[Leetonidas]

The Kings have 14 more FT attempts. :wow

[T Park]

shake it off boys.

go down, feed it to tim, let him foul out thomas or get one on Miller.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

mike bibby was due a good game he sucked last 2 games

Such is the life of a Tony Parker fan... rationalization.

[Trifecta]

If Parker is in -- we need something from HIM!!!!!

[greyforest]

gtfo thomas

[bonesinaz]

This game may go on for another 2 hrs with all the whistles.

[Tek_XX]

can't make any stops can't win the game

[T Park]

When is he NOT in that mode?




true dat :lol

[ducks]

calling a foul every possession is bs

[Warlord23]

Thomas is gone

[WalterBenitez]

mike finley has more points then either tp and manu
Holy s...t what is that?

[bonesinaz]

TP thank God!!

[TDfan2007]

Finally Tony Hits One Of Those Floaters

[wildbill2u]

K. Thomas fouls out.

[Pistons < Spurs]

:flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: YES!!!!! Way to go TP

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It's incredible what happens when people stop shooting jumpers every time down.

[Trifecta]

Lets have an order of D to go with a side order of O

[ballhog]

Parker on fire.

[Warlord23]

Go TP!
