Spurs vs Suns Nov. 8th - Game Blog

[boutons_]

Suns are avergaing 107 PPG (while giving up 110!) and shooting FG 47% (same as Spurs).

The Spurs average 96 PPG, will they speedup to play PHX's game and score 110+ tonight?

Will Amare play enough minutes well enough to make any difference?

Can the .750 Spurs beat the sub-.300 Suns on the Spurs' court? http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smilol.gif

[Texas_Ranger]

Yes they can win, and they will win.

[angel_luv]

Dajmo Spurs! :)

ESPN Classic right now, 2003 Western Conference 1st Round, Spurs vs Suns

Amare as a rookie, Robinson, Stephen Jackson, Malik...the old gang...good times

[boutons_]

Amare had a very nasty high-light-reel block of a Tim dunk even back then.

[jman3000]

ugh ... i still remember those 2 bank shots like it was yesterday... basically anything that could have gone wrong against us that night did go wrong.

[dirk4mvp]

I hope you all wear their legs down to hell tonight, so they'll still be kinda tired when the Mavs play em thursday. :toast

[LEONARD]

Suns take this one...

[Trainwreck2100]

Suns take this one...


:lol :lol :lol

[RON ARTEST]

Good luck guys, you better beat them. I would love to see them drop to 1-4, that would be so funny especially since no one really expected them to start off slow.

[td4mvp21]

Suns take this one...

I think you shoud wait until the Mavs win a game before you talk about anything at all.

Yeah, they just showed when Kevin Willis almost murdered Scott Williams.

[Bruno]

Key points :

- It will be Spurs' 5th game in 7 days. Spurs need to be not too tired against a team that runs a lot.

- Keeping 2 bigs on the court, Elson should help Spurs to be able to do so.

- Stoping Barbosa : he is Suns' X factor.

- Manu vs. Bell. Manu has been average so far, let's see what he will do against a strong defender.

All great points, particularly the last one. Some of Manu's best performances have come against the Suns, and I expect he'll have one tonight that will remind the world why we keep him around.

Good luck guys, you better beat them. I would love to see them drop to 1-4, that would be so funny especially since no one really expected them to start off slow.

Actually quite a few said they could start slow...getting a guy like amare back into the swing of things was always going to take time.

should be a good game

battle of the two guards who are struggling for form..bell vs manu.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

OMG!

KSAT said the Spurs haven't won at home yet this season! We're doomed!

http://www.aztriad.com/panic_button.jpg

Considering they've played all of one game at home, it's not a big deal, Greg Simmons.

[Borosai]

An update for those not watching the nail biter on ESPN Classic...the Spurs are winning...it looks like they will wrap this thing up!

[LEONARD]

I think you shoud wait until the Mavs win a game before you talk about anything at all.

Mavs WILL start 0-5...I said this before the GS game actually...

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Man, I was at Sam's Club just off DeZavala during this game and had to watch fucking Stephon Marbury make the rest of my day miserable.

Why am I watching this?

[Borosai]

That was back in the day when TP was intimidated by Marbury...not no more! :elephant

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

That fucker didn't call glass.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Do you guys remember how much the media was trying to make spurs fans scared prior to this series? Saying how if there was any upset to look out for, it was our series, and how the suns had given us such trouble all year, how marbury was the latest spurs killer (this was true) and how Parker was always owned by him and it made parker sad and then parker's offensive game suffered?

It was funny.

:lol same thing happened with denver, sacramento, and even further back, minnesota. we always seem to get the hot team in the first round (exception of memphis)

i'm thinking we might fall behind early... but shots will start falling and we'll get up big.

[jmard5]

I hope you all wear their legs down to hell tonight, so they'll still be kinda tired when the Mavs play em thursday. :toast

Dallas also have a game against the Clippers today.

[1Parker1]

EDIT: I think Spurs may lose tonight...Suns will be highly motivated given the Spurs history of crushing their hopes. I think it'll be a close game, hopefully it goes the Spurs way.

[ALVAREZ6]

Spurs own the Suns. I guarantee a Spurs win.

Barry = easy 3's from terrible PHX defense
Manu = see above, + penetration
TD = not even Amare can guard him anymore
TP = no defense, wide open jumpers (watch last season)
Beno = same as Barry, hopefully

[1Parker1]

I don't get it...how come every pre-game show hardly discusses/interviews Spurs players? We get to learn about Ron Artest crossing over to rap "Stardom," Amare's Return, the 4-0 Hornets and Jazz, the 0-3 Mavs, but barely a mention about the Spurs season thus far.

but seriously small market, boring team and no real story here.

What are you talking about? Tony Parker made a rap CD....how come only Ron Artest gets the public airtime on it? :lol

[1Parker1]

We get alotta hip-hop artists interested in basketball. I think hip-hip and basketball go hand in hand.

:lol Not if David Stern has anything to do with it.

[sa_butta]

What are you talking about? Tony Parker made a rap CD....how come only Ron Artest gets the public airtime on it? :lolArtest=more drama for TV ratings.

:pctoss Dammit, Hubie Brown calling yet another Spurs game!? WTF, I thought they booted him and were planning on using him occasionally.

[themvp]

Lets goooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!11111111

for what its worth, utah is off to a rough start against new jersey. i'm ready for the jazz to come back to earth.

[Spurologist]

Game.

On.

[Texas_Ranger]

C`mon Spurs.

[Spurologist]

Oberto on Faya

[PerforatedNeckline]

oberto comes out firing

[PerforatedNeckline]

too many layups for the suns

[Spurologist]

Nice pick and roll. Nash to Stoudemire for the dunk. Explosiveness by Amare wasn't lacking on that play

[themvp]

This could really be a 110+ point game.

[carina_gino20]

fast start from both teams. fabricio making 2 long jumpers. gotta be more alert on defense though.

[jman3000]

score please.

[themvp]

10-10

[Texas_Ranger]

Just need to play better defense.

[PerforatedNeckline]

12-10 spurs with 7:56 to go 1st quarter

[PerforatedNeckline]

manu's off to a bad start....he's 0-3

[PerforatedNeckline]

those of you watching the game...is there a good reason that we aren't working the ball in to tim?

[MannyIsGod]

Elson is going to look like Hakeem when he gets into this game.

[Spurologist]

Spurs playing pussy ball. The inside of phoenix is vulnerable and the spurs are throwing up prayers..

[Texas_Ranger]

14 - 14

[Spurologist]

finally barry makes a layup for the spurs.

Beno in for the struggling TP.

18-17 Suns

[PerforatedNeckline]

suddenly barry is mr. instant offense off of the bench

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao he really DID look like Hakeem on that play....

except he missed.

[themvp]

Finley! Finaly!

[PerforatedNeckline]

i doubt this group is going to do a better job of preventing layups

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

This game is so disordered, I love how the Spurs turn into a completely different team when they face the Suns.

[milkyway21]

Oberto says he's not going to give his starting center spot easily you bitchy bitchy Spurs fans :lol

we need Elson to cover Amare. take it easy on the fouls pls...

[Spurologist]

:wow

Barbosa drive left against Udrih and throws up a high arker above Horry HIGH above the glass for the deuce

[T Park]

Good thing Udrih is playin.

Cause, he was just wasting on the bench.....

[boutons_]

If Spurs could make a layup, they'd be up 10 pts

[Texas_Ranger]

25 - 21 Suns end of 1st

[Cherry]

25-21

Wake me up at overtime start :dramaquee

[Spurologist]

Something isn't right when your leading scorer and best player so far is Oberto.

[boutons_]

Spurs shooting 35% vs 50%

[T Park]

If the Spurs could defend a one legged Kurt Thomas, they would be only down 2.

[themvp]

Hi Texas Ranger. How do you do?

[T Park]

Something isn't right when your leading scorer and best player so far is Oberto.


Oberto looked fantastic... :dizzy :dizzy

[Texas_Ranger]

Hi Texas Ranger. How do you do?


Fine. :rollin

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

It's the Croatian Shaman!

[BeerIsGood!]

Padding the O rebound stats before Gino for 3

[Cherry]

MA NU! 3 :elephant

[themvp]

Manu for 3!

[Texas_Ranger]

Ginobiliiii

[PerforatedNeckline]

parker, manu, and tim are a combined 4-15

[SuperManu!!!]

We need duncan to organize the offense and D

[T Park]

Get Udrih the fuck out.

Put Vaughn in.

Vaughn can run, AND DEFEND.

Get Udrih the fuck out.


Call time out also, Ginobili's unassertiveness is madening.

[PerforatedNeckline]

..and its getting worse...manu misses again

[carina_gino20]

ginobili!!

[T Park]

Wtf Is Horry Doing To Warrant Staying In Ahead Of Elson!?!?!

Good God!!!!!!!!

[PerforatedNeckline]

finley seems determined to shoot himself out of his slump...he leads the team in shot attempts this game...(he's 2-7)

[Spurologist]

Horry's production this season from 0 to 100 is 0.5

[milkyway21]

9:43 2nd Q

32-26 Suns :bang

why Bowen's on the bench? now they bombarded us with those 3sssss :dramaquee :D

[PerforatedNeckline]

thank god kurt thomas has started to fancy himself a scorer over the last few minutes

[T Park]

I don't understand, what Horry is doing, to warrant the goddamn minutes.

Elson was active, moving, rebounding, all that stuff. bam!!! OUT.

Good lord.

[BeerIsGood!]

The story of this game so far is ball movement and shooting. Spurs aren't moving the ball inside out and are missing open shots. Still only down six, but they look fatigued.

[makedamnsure]

I think I'm glad I'm not watching this one...

[themvp]

Great D by Tim.

[milkyway21]

7:01 2nd Q

34-28 Suns :cry

[Spurologist]

The spurs have to remember they are playing the suns. The same suns that will give you a limo ride to the basket. Need to pound the rock inside.

[T Park]

First off the offense is horrible.

The pussy footing around Phoenix and not driving to the hole with impunity is just annoying.

The defense is OK, NOT whats killing them.


Udrih, once again, sucks.

Horry is taking shots like hes with the Rockets again.

Ginobili is taking jumpers like hes Jeff Hornacek.


WAKE UP.

[carina_gino20]

The spurs have to remember they are playing the suns. The same suns that will give you a limo ride to the basket. Need to pound the rock inside.

exactly, no more ill-advised jumpers please

[Cherry]

Fabricio! :spin

[MannyIsGod]

Nice pass from Oberto there.

I agree with Tpark, Horry should not even be in the rotation right now ahead of Bonner.

[PerforatedNeckline]

ha, oberto is 4-4...the sole bright spot

[T Park]

Oberto looks awesome.

Hes moving, hes making great passes. Man hes definately winning me over.

Little more zone D on the Suns, cut off penetration, and this thing can turn around.


Wow, how many boards does Fabbs have?

[SuperManu!!!]

Oberto for most improved player of the season

[PerforatedNeckline]

according to yahoo, oberto only has 2 boards...

[boutons_]

Spurs now shooting 32% vs 50%

Are they jinxed @ATT this year? They look horrible on both ends.

[T Park]

I agree with Tpark, Horry should not even be in the rotation right now ahead of Bonner.




This is the type of team we traded Nesterovic FOR Bonner.

Get him in there for godsakes....

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Praise be to Sean Marks.

[PerforatedNeckline]

ha, jalen rose already getting some run

[MannyIsGod]

Good D by Oberto there.

Oberto has been solid this year so far. I'm very impressed.

[T Park]

Nice of Udrih to leave Leandro wide open...


Once again :lol

Don't see why he deserves minutes....

[Spurologist]

Spurs dunk pending.......................

[makedamnsure]

I always rag on Oberto and the one game there's no way I can watch is the game that he's the best player on the team. That figures..

[dirk4mvp]

Amare showing a little spring.

[ShoogarBear]

Praise be to Sean Marks.Better than Elson . . .

[MannyIsGod]

Dude, Duncan has been dunked on a ton this year, wtf???

[makedamnsure]

score????

[Spurologist]

43-39 suns

[BeerIsGood!]

The ball should go to Duncan every time Stoudemire is on him. Stoudemire looks like he's chained to the floor - he doesn't have half the athleticism he did before. Even on the dunk he didn't have the explosive jump - his hand barely cleared the rim instead of his head being even with the rim. Duncan can score on him every time.

[T Park]

The Spurs finally discover 2 things.

going at Amare he will A foul you, or b will hack you.


Now, if Pop would pull his head out of his ass, and see that Udrih SUCKS, we could be doing better....

If your gonna go 2 PGs, PLAY THE bETTER DEFENDER!!!!!!!

[mikejones99]

why do mexicans like the lakers? not like argentina

[themvp]

Calm down, T Park!

[Spurologist]

wtf. Manu's layup was about 1 yard off.

[ShoogarBear]

If you're still wondering if the old Manu is back, the answer is clearly no. The old Manu would have dunked that.

[PerforatedNeckline]

wow, manu looks awful. but tim is 5-6 from the line.

[Spurologist]

OBERTO AGAIN. That's 3 jumpers from him today from probably one of the worst shooter in the league.

[Cherry]

OBERTO = blue collar worker :toast

[The_Game]

whatever it is but duncan always seems to bring the best out of amare

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Manu getting Marion his third....nice.

[Cherry]

wow, manu looks awful. but tim is 5-6 from the line.

What about that Marion offensive foul? :lol :lol :lol

[Spurologist]

BARRY for 3 to end the half.

50-49

[T Park]

Oberto is prob playing the best ball Ive ever seen him play.

WOW. The rotations on D are solid, the jumper is ugly but solid.


:tu KEEP IT UP FAbby

bARRY AGAIN

WOW

:lol

KEEP TRYING TO TRADE HIM!!! :lol

[BeerIsGood!]

Barry coming up big for a 3rd straight game - and got fouled on that shot. Should have been a chance for 4.

[SuperManu!!!]

Barry again for 3! What's up with him???

[MannyIsGod]

Man, the old Manu will never be back Shoog. He's still smart enough to be a very good player though. With Duncan and Parker leading the way, I think its ok for him to take a step back from 03.

[themvp]

Barry is absolutely amazing! Wow!

[MannyIsGod]

Barry has kicked ass ever since he almost got traded. I think he discovered to just play loose then, and he's been playing that way ever since. Almost Trade Barry >>>>>> Pre Trade Deadline Barry

[Texas_Ranger]

GO SPURS GO.

Barry rules.

[T Park]

Calm down, T Park!




Heres the problem, Vaughn was brought here, for defense and running the O.

TWO THINGS UDRIH IS NOT DOING!!!

Give Vaughn a freakin shot, what the hell, the worst that happens, is that he sucks as bad as Udrih.

I gaurantee though that Vaugh brings better D, and runs the offense a hella lot more smoother than Paino.

[SuperManu!!!]

Manu and oberto can't play well both the same day

[The_Game]

even when amare is not yet fully recovered he still owns duncan

that dunk was crazy

[milkyway21]

LAST 10 PLAYS (Last Play on the Bottom)
Team Time Play

PHO 1.0 Boris Diaw missed 3-pt. Jump Shot

somebody tell me IF Brent is wearing a lucky charm tonight and in the last 2 games? :D

[milkyway21]

Oberto is playing his breakout year...

[T Park]

barry has got to keep being agressive.

Ginobili has got to let Pop know if hes got an injury. He looks slow, he looks worn out.

If hes 100%, then this team is screwed....

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu and oberto can't play well both the same day
Manu sucks. In the last two games it's like he doesn't wanna attack anymore, cuz he's testing his jumpshot in the middle of the game?

Pop doesn't call many plays for him?

He still does the intangibles in the game, by turning a play in the favor of th spurs, but his offensive potency isn't being taken advantage of, it's like he and both Pop feel he's not needed for his exciting plays, anymore almost....

Oh well...

[themvp]

even when amare is not yet fully recovered he still owns duncan

that dunk was crazy


No it wasn't. :rolleyes

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Oberto is playing his breakout year...
OBerto seems to be meshing well today. He's not so rigid like the first games. He's giving nice passes to Duncan.

[boutons_]

Manu's shots are falling short, badly, he's got no spring.
Not hitting his FTs, either

[milkyway21]

Amare used to ave 8 pts a game since the start of the season. they're 1-3. Now he has 14 at halftime.

is he finally back?

[T Park]

Hes getting more shots and alot more PT.

So its a horrible comparison.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

If you're still wondering if the old Manu is back, the answer is clearly no. The old Manu would have dunked that.
Manu hasn't dunked it in 2006 since he got past Yao that one time. Manu's dunk was what made him effective.

He's too much of a team player, he's relegated himself to roleplayer. :depressed

[theroc5]

1.manu needs to drive in, instead of shooting 3s.
2.we need to up our d, its horrible right now! though we usally play this way against the suns.
3.feed the ball to duncan a bit more.

Great way to in the half

GET ANOTHER WIN GO SPURS GO

[spurschick]

Manu sucks. In the last two games it's like he doesn't wanna attack anymore, cuz he's testing his jumpshot in the middle of the game?

It's a marathon, not a sprint. His shot is definitely off tonight, but that's life. And I'd rather he work on the jumpshot now so that it's ready to go come April.

Relax.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

1.manu needs to drive in, instead of shooting 3s.

GET ANOTHER WIN GO SPURS GO
I agree he needs to drive in.
He's only shot two threes. Most of his shots were ugly mid range jumpers that fell short. But that was when all the Spurs were missing their jump shots/easy layups.

[METALMiKE]

that shot right now of the arena was amazing.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

It's a marathon, not a sprint. His shot is definitely off tonight, but that's life. And I'd rather he work on the jumpshot now so that it's ready to go come April.

Relax.
Ok, :lol Ok...sometimes I get too invested in one game. Then only after the game, wait a minute. It's NOVEMBER! Sorry, I come off too affected by every quarter.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

[Spurologist]

manu is way off.

He had a WIDE open 3. Instead he pump fakes and shoots a contested pull up J

[milkyway21]

i think one Spurs player whose shots improved so much over the summer is Tony.

Like in the game against NY. Of the 11 shots Parker made, eight were from at least 17 feet. Included were a pair of rare three-pointers, including the one he stuck with 1:31 remaining to help turn back a late rally by the Knicks.

[Spurologist]

It's a long season for manu but 1-8 is pathetic

[T Park]

Just sit Gino down. Hes playing timid, and when he does, he sucks.

Let barry have some minutes.

The defense is atrocious.

[MannyIsGod]

It's a marathon, not a sprint. His shot is definitely off tonight, but that's life. And I'd rather he work on the jumpshot now so that it's ready to go come April.

Relax.He was this way all of last year too. Manu's still a hell of a player, but he's never going to be the player we saw in 05 ever again. I thought that after last year, and nothing I saw in the summer or in this early season has given me reason to change that belief.

[T Park]

Can't believe im actually advocating playing barry ahead of Manu.

Sigh :depressed

[Leetonidas]

There, Manu with a nice play.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Nice hustle on the floor from Manu.

[milkyway21]

It's a long season for manu but 1-8 is patheticwell, that's one offnight for Manu against the Suns. They will make sure he will fail or try harder tonight because he used to beat these guys & always in the past :lmao Maybe tonight they make sure they're ready for him.

that's okay! let's just pray Brent keep what he's doing.

[Leetonidas]

Oberto is fucking owning!

[METALMiKE]

Oberto Baby

[Cherry]

OBERTO!!! :elephant :lol

[Texas_Ranger]

Go Oberto go

[SuperManu!!!]

Oberto is our secret weapon!

[T Park]

This defense is just unreal.

What, the, FUCK.

[Leetonidas]

This game is fucking infuriating. :pctoss

[boutons_]

Spurs can't hit shit, 35%.

[themvp]

Oberto rocks right now!

[td4mvp21]

Duncan's being a pussy, passing it off within shooting range three times, not rotating, etc.

[T Park]

Good fucking god.

Give me a break with that call.

[jmard5]

Whatever Oberto ate before the game, Manu should have eaten it too.

Oberto now with 16pts?

[T Park]

Yeah Manu, your missing on the threes, so keep shooting.

Don't drive the bucket or anything like that.

Nahhhh.


Here comes all star Horry ahead of Elson or bonner :rolleyes

TD with a hell of a move.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Damnit, Horry...try to keep up with the offense the couple of times they decide to run.

[MannyIsGod]

Parker has 5 3s this year. He only had 11 last year. If that shot starts to go down on a consistent basis.... watch out.

[mattyc]

Oberto is playing amazing.

[themvp]

That is some nice basketball! :)

[Martin R]

I Want What Oberto Is Having !!!!!

[T Park]

Fucking Horry....

Great run going, cut it to 1, and get a stupid fucking foul.

What is Elson in the doghouse now for missing a rotation?


If so, put Horry in it for not running quicker to Kurt fucking Thomas.

[Spurologist]

Damnit, Horry...try to keep up with the offense the couple of times they decide to run.

Horry's ass needs to be shipped with the delivery date set for the postseason.

In other league news: Hedo might have a tiny pair of balls growing down there.

Hedo hits a buzzer beater to beat the Sonics.

[Texas_Ranger]

Tim is playing great tonight.

[milkyway21]

Timmy w/ 3 fouls already?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Oberto is playing amazing.
Yeah, at least he's making his case for the 5 spot.

It's refreshing from last year.

[td4mvp21]

Oberto >>>> TD

:lol, right now yes!

[SuperManu!!!]

Manu's evil twin showed up....thats the only possible answer

[BeerIsGood!]

I never thought I'd see Oberto play like this. I was completely wrong about that guy - he's proving what he can do with the minutes. The defense needs to get tighter now, but a lot of credit goes to the Suns moving the ball around and knocking down shots.

[ShoogarBear]

timvp will still somehow give Horry an 80 game score. :lol

[T Park]

Duncan getting more and more agressive.

Parker's jumper looks absolutely fluuuuuid.

Oberto looks like the center that he was hyped to be.



Wow what a shot by Hedo :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Good God, Rob.

[Spurologist]

Fucken Horry blows a WIDE open layup

[milkyway21]

the Clippers beat this guys last Sat because they hussle perfectly inside esp Brand. Oberto is one of the Spurs who is not afraid to do that.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Good God, Rob.

That's it. I'm not buying anything he's associated with until the playoffs.

[MannyIsGod]

Very good 2 man game.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Alright, I'll give it to Robert on that play.

Nice give-and-go.

[Leetonidas]

Barry with the awesome move.

[Nero]

Wow, crafty move by Brent. Spurs O looks horrible without TD

[T Park]

That right there, was single handidly, the best play I think Ive seen barry execute as a Spur.

[MannyIsGod]

Please pull Horry.

[WalterBenitez]

Oberto with 18?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Alright, I'll give it to Robert on that play.

Nice give-and-go.

Alright, enough of that goody-goody nonsense.

[MannyIsGod]

Ohhh, that last one looked horrible. :lol Tony had his heat check I guess.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Good hustle, Barry....but yeah, that was a block.

[T Park]

Hubie brown needs to be put out to pasture...

[MannyIsGod]

Barry can't buy a call.

[milkyway21]

Pops' strategy on not promising the center spot yet to anyone-Oberto, Elson or Butler is working perfectly well for the team...

I'm happy not because we are trailing but bec i see the promise. We got someone who can play alongside Duncan-Elson or Oberto. We still have to take a look on Butler later, i hope soon......

nice Pops :clap

[T Park]

I ask once again, what is Horry doing, to deserve the minutes hes getting?

This is 03 04 Horry right now....

[ShoogarBear]

Keep Horry's ass on the bench in the 4th.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Horry's shot in the regular season is NEVER MONEY

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Geeez, has Horry hit a shot all year?

[Nero]

What's with all these 20 footers were taking? Why did Barry pass up the 3 from the Manu dish?

[T Park]

This is like slamming you head repeatedly against a wall.

Horry horry horry horry

udrih udrih udrih udrih


GOD.

[Spurologist]

Was Elson placed on the DH

[milkyway21]

1:31 3rd Q

73-70 Suns

[Spurologist]

end of 3rd 75-70 suns

[T Park]

Elson must have insulted Pop's tie or somethin...

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I don't know why they're not taking it inside more. I don't know why Manu takes em' off the dribble only to pump fake a jumpshot. He has too much hesitation and doesn't look to finish tonight.

[milkyway21]

hey guys 12-13 Spurs FTs(92%) :tu

[BeerIsGood!]

Geeez, has Horry hit a shot all year?

He's shooting about 11% so he has hit something... :dizzy

[Budkin]

Spurs will win, don't worry. :)

[dimsah]

OMG! I want Horry off of this team. Thanks for 05, but you got to go.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Was Elson placed on the DH
He was in, in the first half. Oberto's just been overachieving tonight. If he can keep this consistent, then that'd be great.

[MannyIsGod]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i dont get how teams ABUSE the suns from the inside and yet we keep taking terrible perimeter shots


MAJOR props to Oberto but the Spurs need to carve the suns out from the inside and go to the FT line.


Also, as good as a shooting team the suns are, us shooting 38% and them shooting 50% isn't gonna cut it

[MannyIsGod]

Good move by Fin

[AZLouis]

How many times do Marion and Diaw have to run that play for an oop before teams realize that's what they do?

[MannyIsGod]

Damn, how does Beno miss that?

[IceColdBrewski]

The writing is on the wall for this game. Suns just seem to want it more.

[milkyway21]

one one FG there Fin...

[MannyIsGod]

Closelined! Ouch.

[milkyway21]

i hope Manu will take over and kick these guys' asses again:D

[ShoogarBear]

Actually, I think he would have been okay if his nose was normal sized. :lol

[T Park]

If pop would've left Horry and Udrih on the bench, the Spurs would prob win this game in the 7 or 8 lead range.

[MannyIsGod]

WTF was that? How many 20 footers doe sBanks have to hit before we guard him.

[carib]

Solid game by Oberto against the Suns

[MannyIsGod]

3 free throws baby!
