[shelshor]

how much do you pay for league pass
Just under $200 for the season

[SAtown]

LMFAO at the person that chose Finley to make the first 3 tonight!

[Emanuel20]

(i am a spur fam in atlanta...)

[kolko]

Jacque Vaughn and Eric Williams are active.
Ginobili, White and Butler inactive

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

LMFAO at the person that chose Finley to make the first 3 tonight!
He picked Manu but since he aint playing they just gave him Finley.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Not bad for Fin. 2-2 early.

[SAtown]

Bad foul called on Timmy.

[Emanuel20]

SEATTLE (AP) -- San Antonio forward Manu Ginobili missed the Spurs' game Sunday night against Seattle because of a lower back contusion.

Coach Gregg Popovich said he didn't expect Ginobili to miss an extended amount of time.

Ginobili was injured Friday in the third quarter of a 95-92 home loss to the Mavericks. Ginobili fell onto his back trying to pull the ball away from two Dallas players. He didn't play the fourth quarter.

Popovich said Ginobili's back was stiff and the fifth-year guard was receiving treatment in the locker room before the game Sunday, the start of a three-game road trip. Popovich said while he doesn't expect Ginobili to be ready for Monday's game at Golden State, he might be able to play Wednesday at Utah.

"It's probably loosened up a little bit, but not enough for him to play," Popovich said.

Michael Finley started in Ginobili's place.

[SAtown]

It'll be interesting to see how we adjust to Manu's absence. Hopefully Finley and Barry will step up

[Emanuel20]

what is going on w/ parker 1-5 FGM

[td4mvp21]

what is going on w/ parker 1-5 FGM

This is the deal with Parker: he keeps shooting whether he's missing or making his shots. :)

[Emanuel20]

wish manu was like that;))

[Spurologist]

All of tp's shots have been good shots. He has missed 3 lay ups and one open jumper

[td4mvp21]

All of tp's shots have been good shots. He has missed 3 lay ups and one open jumper

Can't see the game but those sounds like easy shots.

[unnosy]

at least, duncan is rebounding, he heard you LJ

[SAtown]

Oberto and Duncan have been good cleanup guys so far

[loveforthegame]

Nice to see Finley off to a nice start.

[Emanuel20]

Parker Turnover: Lost Ball (2 TO) Steal: Ridnour (1 ST)

[td4mvp21]

Why the hell is Pop playing Horry over Elson???

[Emanuel20]

Why the hell is Pop playing Horry over Elson???

Elson has not seen any minutes the last couple games

[Tek_XX]

Who is the color announcer?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

TD has already matched his total rebounding in the Mavs game.

[Emanuel20]

timmy has 3 TO

[td4mvp21]

TD has already matched his total rebounding in the Mavs game.

:tu Keep it up, TD.

[Tek_XX]

Why the hell is Pop playing Horry over Elson???

Elson is way too BIG for pop :rolleyes

[Emanuel20]

wow td is making his free throws

[Emanuel20]

wow is manu in a suit????????????

[E20]

My prediction:

Tim Duncan is gonna get a triple-double tonight.

[Sam]

Beno, Horry, Oberto, Finley and Barry in. Duncan out for the last 2 minutes of the 1st.

[Sam]

Manu styling in his suit

[SAtown]

Who is the color announcer?

Dan Hughes. Although he sounds a bit boring and not as colorful (or clever) as Elliott, he seems like he knows what he's talking about.

[Sam]

Beno with a nice bank bouncing shot.

[spurs_in_7]

Why the hell is Pop playing Horry over Elson???

they are dating since the past year

[Sam]

Rideour stripped Beno while he was driving down the lane on a spin move.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Barry slam!

[Sam]

Barry on a breakaway dunk from Beno

[Tek_XX]

Are Horry and Finley going to retire after this year....because i think they should.

[SAtown]

I would love to see White on a fastbreak like Barry just had...

[Sam]

25 Spurs 21 Sonics at the end of the first.

[Emanuel20]

Manu should be scared b/c Oberto's game looks a lot better than Manu's

[Sam]

I would love to see White on a fastbreak like Barry just had...
I think I'll save this for later in the season.

[Manu20]

:00.0 End of 1st Quarter
:00.7 SA - F. Oberto defensive rebound

Spurs lead 25-21.

[Tek_XX]

Dan Hughes. Although he sounds a bit boring and not as colorful (or clever) as Elliott, he seems like he knows what he's talking about.

Oh Dan Hughes....who the hell is Dan Hughes??

[loveforthegame]

Are Horry and Finley going to retire after this year....because i think they should.

What's Finley done wrong tonight? His shooting looks ok.

[Emanuel20]

spurs are shooting %58.8

[spurs_in_7]

pop gotta be crazy for play horry and put elson and bonner in the doghouse.

[themvp]

spurs are shooting %58.8

But "only" 25 pts in the 1st.

[Spurologist]

Barry for 3

[hitmanyr2k]

pop gotta be crazy for play horry and put elson and bonner in the doghouse.

Maybe Elson isn't picking up the defensive schemes like Nazr :lol

[Spurologist]

FIN for the tripel

[Tek_XX]

Gawd sit Horrys ass down already.

[Emanuel20]

wow oberto

[spurs_in_7]

Maybe Elson isn't picking up the defensive schemes like Nazr :lol

nevermind, horry is totally done since the past year!

[ChumpDumper]

Props to Beno for breaking a press.

[Spurologist]

Petro is pathetic inside. At least 4 straight missed layups.

[Sam]

Elson going to come in and have a big game with Oberto in foul trouble.

[Spurologist]

R. Lewis 12 1-3 0-1 2-2 0 0 1 0 2 1 0 4
R. Allen 10 2-6 0-0 0-0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 4

Bruce Bowen has swtiched defending them.
Best fucking defender in the league

[Tek_XX]

I wonder if Elsons first game against the Mavs was just a fluke

[spurs_in_7]

i prefer elson and bonner over horry's done ass any day

[Sam]

Bring in Bonner. Let's see him shoot some.

[spurs_in_7]

I wonder if Elsons first game against the Mavs was just a fluke

may be pop is killing his confidence

[ChumpDumper]

may be pop is killing his confidenceMaybe we should almost trade him.

[Sam]

We need to look inside instead of doing the drive and pull out moves.

[Sam]

Horry!!! :madrun :madrun :madrun

[MannyIsGod]

Why is Horry still playing? Why?

[Sam]

Nice tip by Elson

[SAtown]

Horry is fucking cold.

[Sam]

Horry isn't even trying to block out.

[EJFischer]

Elson screws up a feed from Barry. Horry misses a layup.

I've seen this show before.

[Sam]

Bones!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sam]

38-29 Spurs up

[Tek_XX]

may be pop is killing his confidence

There might be something to this.

[spurs_in_7]

may be pop is killing his confidence

or may be hes worser player than i thought :lol

[loveforthegame]

Let's see Bonner or Williams and sit Horry now.

Barry continues to light it up. Let's hope Finley hits some more shots.

[ShoogarBear]

Timmy back in to control the boards.

[Sam]

We have 9 turnovers??? That's unacceptable.

[Sam]

Nice running right hander by Parker

[Sam]

Elson bricks a follow up

[SAtown]

Is Elson serious? Can he not even make a friggin layup?

[Sam]

Duncan gets dunked on

[Tek_XX]

Elson with the Rasho tip

[Sam]

3 seconds on Duncan

[Sam]

Nice reverse passing but Bones missed the shot and Duncan gets the ball on a pick and roll. Gets fouled. Let's make them, Timmy.

[td4mvp21]

Duncan with only 2 shots. :rolleyes

[T Park]

Elson seems to be giving good energy and crashing the boards.

Nice hustle on that one offensive rebound.

[Sam]

Finley coming in for Barry instead of Bonner

[Sam]

Bowen with 20 footer. Nice shot

[T Park]

What are we bitching about.

Nice offensive set there.

Parker gives a nice pass and Bowen bags the shot.


:lol wtf are you people going nuts about

[SAtown]

BRuuuuuuuuuuuce!!!! Nice shot with shot clock buzzer going off from the perimeter

[Tek_XX]

Ray "Little Bitch" Allen seems kinda quiet tonight.

[SAtown]

Ray "Little Bitch" Allen seems kinda quiet tonight.

Both his game and his mouth :downspin:

[td4mvp21]

Duncan with 5 TO's, he's been a turnover machine this season. :lol

[Manu20]

The spurs already have 11 turnovers and is not even halftime! :pctoss

[T Park]

Finley coming in for Barry instead of Bonner

Finley is a better defender.

DOn't tell me Bonner is gonna be the new Steve Kerr.....

[SKINNYPIMP210]

THANKS FOR THE BLOW BY BLOW SAM, IT REALLY HELPS OUT THE SPURS FANS WHO AREN'T IN SA. AND DON'T HAVE NBA LEAGUE PASS. :clap

[T Park]

The spurs already have 11 turnovers and is not even halftime


and they are up 8 points.

GOOD LORD, HEAD FOR THE HILLS!!!!

[SAtown]

Typical Spurs: Turnover machine. Nothing to worry about

[Sam]

Finley is a better defender.

DOn't tell me Bonner is gonna be the new Steve Kerr.....
Well a taller Steve Kerr. ;-)

[spurs_in_7]

:lmao

[TDMVPDPOY]

TOs are killin us, TD has 5 to his name

[T Park]

that turnover wasn't Elson's fault there, tony has to spread it out, and let Elson pass it out.

The ball movement looks good.

Elson is active.


Solid half so far.

[Sam]

Bowen with a steal on a Collison mishandle near the baseline. Spurs holding for the last shot. Parker drove the lane with a crossover and got fouled.

[Sam]

Spurs 47 Sonics 39 with 5.2 seconds left before half. Timeout.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

If we put in E-Will, all of our wildest dreams will come true. :smokin

[Sam]

Backcut from Parker for the layup. Spurs 49 Sonics 39

[spurs_in_7]

parker jump shot improvement a fluke?

[SAtown]

At the half: Spurs 49 - 39 Sonics

[Sam]

If we put in E-Will, all of our wildest dreams will come true. :smokin
I'm telling you in Toronto with his bald head that he looked like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

[Sam]

parker jump shot improvement a fluke?
Don't think so. I think he worked really hard with Coach Chip and that he loves the new basketball.

[Tek_XX]

Yes the Spurs have some turnovers, but they're lucky the opposing team is playing like shit

[T Park]

up 10 at the half, after playing the first half so so.

Why is there not more happy people?

What do you people expect 20 point blowouts everynight?

lord...

[timvp]

:lol @ Pop using an old Bob Hill play to end the half.

Somewhere Vinny Del Negro is smiling.

[Manu20]

The spurs are winning the rebounding category 27-17.:tu

[dimsah]

Tim Duncan now sits at 15,000 points for his career.

[Tek_XX]

up 10 at the half, after playing the first half so so.

Why is there not more happy people?

What do you people expect 20 point blowouts everynight?

lord...

I'm happy, it's always fun to smack around the crappy teams or teams that on this particular night couldn't hit the side of a barn in the ocean

[themvp]

The spurs are winning the rebounding category 27-17.:tu

Duncan with 9 so far..

[SAtown]

I'm satisfied

[spurs_in_7]

Don't think so. I think he worked really hard with Coach Chip and that he loves the new basketball.

i think that his jump shot will cool down to almost dissapear. thats what is happening since few game ago, his js is getting worser and worser

[themvp]

Tim Duncan now sits at 15,000 points for his career.


Wow! Props! :fro

[Kori Ellis]

i think that his jump shot will cool down to almost dissapear. thats what is happening since few game ago, his js is getting worser and worser

Please stop pretending to be a Spurs fan. Go change your screen name. You are annoying.

[ChumpDumper]

i think that his jump shot will cool down to almost dissapear. thats what is happening since few game ago, his js is getting worser and worserAre you watching the game?

[Sam]

i think that his jump shot will cool down to almost dissapear. thats what is happening since few game ago, his js is getting worser and worser
I think they get some time off for a couple days after the Dec. 14th game. They will get in the gym and tune it back up then.

[Solid D]

:lol @ Pop using an old Bob Hill play to end the half.

Somewhere Vinny Del Negro is smiling.

True, except they often used Sean Elliott as the guy breaking to the basket.

[T Park]

Finley responding well in his start...

But he has no business being out there I guess.....

[xamila rey]

i like Elson, but he does silly turnovers sometimes

[SAtown]

i like Elson, but he does silly turnovers sometimes

What Spurs player doesn't committ silly TOs? :D

[Sam]

Oberto with the jumper from the elbow.

[Sam]

Allen is heating up.

[Sam]

Nice pass inside Duncan to Oberto. Easy layup

[Sam]

Sonics turnover the ball over. Parker drives and passes off to Oberto for another layup

[SAtown]

Is this the same Oberto that played with us last year?

[Sam]

Manu standing up and congratulating the team from behind the bench on the timeout.

[Sam]

Is this the same Oberto that played with us last year?
:lol Yeah he has more confidence this year from working out with a lot of the players part of the summer/early fall.

[Solid D]

Three straight buckets by Oberto (2 on drop-offs). Oberto haters take note.

[Tek_XX]

Is this the same Oberto that played with us last year?

He's got that year under his belt and is understanding what's going on out there much better.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Oberto on fiyah!

[Solid D]

4 straight by Fab!!! 12 foot baseline at shot clock buzzer!

[Sam]

Sonic miss the back door lob and Tim passes to Finley at the top of the key. Finley finds Oberto for the layup.

[SAtown]

I know, I was just kidding. I heard the Pop show a couple of weeks ago where he states that he was just new to the system last year and was going through growing pains, as expected.
GO FABRICIO!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sam]

Allen again from the corner. 6-10 with 12 points

[Sam]

Parker gets blocked and Parker comes down with the ball on teh line.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Oberto leading with 14 points???

[Sam]

Wilcox loses ball out of bounds.

[Ariel]

Three straight buckets by Oberto (2 on drop-offs). Oberto haters take note.
Yeah, but he didn't jump over someone for the dunk, so what's the fuss? it's not like they both count 2, is it? :rolleyes

[SAtown]

That was a VERY quick 3 secs on Fabricio on that last call. BS, but whatever

[themvp]

Oberto fix almost to perfect to Spurs' system

[Sam]

Oberto leading with 14 points???
He's been playing well the last couple games. Really coming into his own.

[td4mvp21]

Parker is 3-10, so let's keep giving it to him!!!

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Does anyone else think the new guy's laugh is creepy?

[Sam]

Parker finds Oberto again for a missed/blocked/fouled layup. Oberto gets fouled.

[Solid D]

Oberto fouled on reverse dunk attempt. 2 FTs by Fab good. He's got 10 points in the quarter.

[Sam]

59 Spurs 44 Sonics with 7:39 in the 3rd. Duncan foul.

[ducks]

parker is in a shooting slump he needs to get out of it
get his confidence back.............................................

[1Parker1]

Damn, Oberto is a beast.

[Sam]

Damn we blew that defensive call. We left the middle WIDE open.

[SAtown]

There ya go Parker with the left hand.

[Sam]

Parker was stripped of that ball easily and Allen scored

[Sam]

Damn, Duncan loses the ball easily now.

[Sam]

We have 14 turnovers. Bowen fouls Allen.

[kolko]

6 TO for Duncan

[SAtown]

Bruce forgot to stick out his foot on that last foul against Allen.

[Sam]

Barry in the game now.

[Sam]

Finley CANNOT shoot right now.

[Duncanoypi]

duncan will get his 1st triple double in the season...in points,rebounds and TO...

[SAtown]

This is just sloppy crap now. They need to calm down

[Tek_XX]

Finley is a mere shadow of his former self.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Bruce forgot to stick out his foot on that last foul against Allen.
:lol

[Sam]

Spurs 61 Sonics 52 with 5:06 left in the 3rd.

[spurs_in_7]

Is this the same Oberto that played with us last year?

how could he play last year when he was in the doghouse most part of it?

:cheeky @ kori

[Solid D]

Sonics have active hands and are junkin' it up inside. Parker is trying to do too much and Timmy isn't keeping the ball high enough on his moves inside. Three straight buckets for the Sonics uptempo.

[Sam]

Duncan with a nice jumper. He has 12

[SAtown]

how could he play last year when he was in the doghouse most part of it?

:cheeky @ kori

Refer to post 152.

[Sam]

Sonics announcers are talking about how the Sonics just need to stay focus, stay calm and be patient because the Spurs WILL let you back in the game with mistakes.

[Sam]

Beno rolls a ball off his feet.

[Sam]

DAMN, Rideour makes the shot from his knees.

[Sam]

Duncan with another stepback bank jumper.

[Sam]

Barry bricks a three off the backboard HARD.

[Sam]

Collison with a lob to Lewis for a dunk

[SAtown]

Nice backdown by Bruce. Made Allen his bitch... what a surprise...

[Sam]

Beno driving with his off hand and bricks one. I really think we are going to have to set something up and take a GOOD shot.

[SAtown]

Fabricio coming back in to regulate.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Tim with 5 assists. The person who declared a triple-double might be right.

[SAtown]

End of 3rd, Spurs 71 - 63 Sonics

[themvp]

Nice dunk by Tim!!

[ducks]

is parker going to start the 4
pop pulled him at the 4 minute mark
due to the poor 4 quarter start against mavs
parker,duncan or manu have to be on the court at all times in the 4
manu is out so parker or duncan MUST start the 4

[spurs_in_7]

can you unban my ip kori???? pleaseeeeeeeee
im gonna be good spurs fan if you do it

[Tek_XX]

Beno is a good player but he's showing some faults tonight. Just because you're getting rushed doesn't mean you just throw up a shot.

[themvp]

Tim with 5 assists. The person who declared a triple-double might be right.

He might also have 20/20 game

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Vaughn/Barry/Bowen/Horry/Oberto starting the 4th.

[SAtown]

Horry is soooo sloooow

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Miracle shot by Collison.

[Sam]

Damn we need to get focused and show some desire

[1Parker1]

Whoaaaaaaaa, Pop is using that crap lineup AGAIN to start the 4th??? :wow

[TDMVPDPOY]

duncan needs more touches imo

[Sam]

Horry finally makes one on a Barry drive and dish

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Big Shot Rob silence the crowds with a buzzer-beating 3!

[ShoogarBear]

This is starting to have the smell of a classic Spurs giveaway.

[jn77]

Who is this noob in elliott's spot? :wtf

He is the coach of the Silver Stars, that's why nobody knows who he is! :lol He seems to know what he is talking about, but he talks WAY too much. It's almost as if he won't be able to talk later. I can't wait to get Sean Elliott Back!

[SAtown]

Miracle 3 by Horry.

[ShoogarBear]

Whoaaaaaaaa, Pop is using that crap lineup AGAIN to start the 4th??? :wowWell, Barry is in instead of Vaughn.

[Sam]

Spurs 74 Sonics 71 with 9 to go in the 4th

[ducks]

Vaughn/Barry/Bowen/Horry/Oberto starting the 4th.
this lineup SUCKS
POP

[TDMVPDPOY]

Whoaaaaaaaa, Pop is using that crap lineup AGAIN to start the 4th??? :wow

[Tek_XX]

Pop with his stall the game dynamic 4th starting lineup.

[ducks]

Put Parker And Td Back In

[Sam]

Ok I need Ray to score but not score too much to win my bet

[SAtown]

Another 3 by Horry. So much for that 22% from 3pt land for the year

[Sam]

Barry with the steal and Parker with the basket

[ShoogarBear]

Nice. Barry resisted the temptation to pass to Bruce.

[ducks]

horry heating up

[loveforthegame]

We can't afford to have Barry to start missing shots.

[SAtown]

How many times have the Spurs let the Sonics come to within 3 and pull away in a span of about 45 seconds?

[Spurologist]

6:37 SA - T. Parker made a 4-foot running jumper in the lane
6:46 SA - T. Parker defensive rebound
6:48 SEA - J. Petro missed a 10-foot hook shot along the right baseline
7:09 SA - T. Parker made a 19-foot jumper from the left wing. Assist: B. Barry

[Tek_XX]

Gawd i love Bowen. He won't let that pussy Allen go around him, i fucking love it.

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf is tim still on the bench?

padd ur stats man1!

[Sam]

Duncan is in the game.

[T Park]

you guys that rip the lineup, do know there is a game tommarow right?

[ducks]

you guys that rip the lineup, do know there is a game tommarow right?
after what happened against the mavs
that lineup should never start the 4
maybe the 3 BUT NOT THE 4 the money quarter

[T Park]

What was that about Tony Parker's jumper?

Eh?

Cant hear you....

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Well, Barry is in instead of Vaughn.
Vaughn started too.

[SAtown]

Seems like Parker IS alive.

[whottt]

We can't afford to have Barry to start missing shots.


Yeah...Barry needs to keep shooting at 60% for the season.


Hold your breath and make it happen.

[Sam]

Ok we're up 14 pts. Let's get some of the guys on the bench and save it for tomorrow.

[E20]

Shit can Tim Duncan have at least 8-10 more points.

[ducks]

I should rip tp more
then he came out and lit up the sonics

[ducks]

Shit can Tim Duncan have at least 8-10 more points.
why
he should rest there is a game tomorrow

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

How's it going on that triple-double?

[E20]

why
he should rest there is a game tomorrow
Tony should rest. He needs to give it to Eva tonight.

Not Tim.

[efrem1]

seven and oh. The Road Warriors continue to march on. Night everybody.

[E20]

BTW ducks, Tony attempting 18 shots. WTF? :lol

[ducks]

did not duncan have 3 straight games with 6 rebounds

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

:lol

[E20]

How's it going on that triple-double?
Needs 4 more assists.

[Admidave50]

TP really stepped up in the 4th quarter
