Spurs vs Kings Official Game Blog

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Don't curse me, use vulgar language and you might avoid this kind of discussion.

You keep cursing me, using the kind of language you used earlier and I very well may something about why that is wrong.


You know how to avoid this. Don't be rude. Don't gratuitously curse at me.

I might have listened to you, but you lost me with an incorrect citation of The Bible.

If a journalist can get called out for incorrect citations, well, I'm sure the Lord doesn't want you quoting incorrectly.

[Chris]

horry going all TD on us from the line. 4-9. blech.

Gotta love the hustle though.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Also, did you incorrectly cite The Bible?

The verse you quoted is Matthew 12:34, but you know, don't let something like that stop you from steering us towards the Lord.

http://bible.cc/matthew/12-34.htm

You're right, I gave the wrong reference because I was going to start with that verse. Instead, I began earlier.

You probably are unaware of this, but when the original was written, there were no verses. Sorry, no prize.

The really important thing is to apply the content. And that is what you are not doing.

[dimsah]

They couldn't have looked more inept in that last couple of minutes.

You know how to avoid this. Don't be rude. Don't gratuitously curse at me.seriously bro, you might want to get over your oversensitivity to cursing, because in this forum, its not only normal, in some cases its a must :lol

[MannyIsGod]

This is my second year here. Formerly, I was known as themanurules.
But, no I haven't had the time to post 20,000 times here like some others.

When people are derisively cursing me, I am going to point out that it is not helpful, inappropriate and frankly just wrong.

I am sure that you don't agree with that. But if they curse me and use vulgar language, I may post that I don't find it appropriate.


It sounds like you don't have the courage of your convictions, else you would have done them in front of the teacher, the principal, your parents, the police and your cellmates.My friend, I have a suggestion for you. If you don't want to hear me tell you things, then perhaps you should take one or both of the following courses:

1) Do not address me if you do not want a response. I wasn't talking to you in this thread, but you decided to insert yourself. When you do that, prepare for responses. Whether you like them or not is irrelevent as is what you think of my character based upon those posts.

2) Feel free to use the ignore function. This strikes me as the best option for someone who lacks the self control to avoid commenting on my posts. This also strikes me as what Angel will eventualy do to your stalkerish type posts.

Have a nice fucking character filled day!

Nope, you fucked it up.

Damn, you lost another soul to save. Jesus is looking down on you, and boy is he pissed.

I might have listened to you, but you lost me with an incorrect citation of The Bible.

If a journalist can get called out for incorrect citations, well, I'm sure the Lord doesn't want you quoting incorrectly.

First, that is not why you are not following the passage. We both know that.

Second, the original did not and the copies of the Greek New Testament did not have verses per se.

Damnation-bound heathens!

Nope, you fucked it up.

Damn, you lost another soul to save. Jesus is looking down on you, and boy is he pissed.

Your choices are based upon your heart. We both know that.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Comon Kings just attack them inside and they will only give you slap fouls!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Angel's been reading this thread since 8:17 p.m. You lost her, bro.

[MannyIsGod]

Will you STFU? This is a game blog, take your bullshit to the club.

[Dre_7]

I just got home and logged on to yahoo. Why the hell has Elson only played 4 minutes?!?!? :wtf

[MannyIsGod]

That was nasty offense.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I just got home and logged on to yahoo. Why the hell has Elson only played 4 minutes?!?!? :wtf

Because he cursed at Pop and God is punishing him. Plus, I think God has Oberto on his fantasy team.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Angel's been reading this thread since 8:17 p.m. You lost her, bro.

Not trying to win a popularity contest.

Can't have a civilized conversation here with adults, apparently.

[MannyIsGod]

This isn't a good matchup for Elson. Bonner played in the 1st half and played well.

[ShoogarBear]

WTF, is Pop waiting for the Kings to get a lead before he brings Duncan back in?

[loveforthegame]

What's Barry? 0-6?

[MannyIsGod]

Not trying to win a popularity contest.

Can't have a civilized conversation with adults, apparently.Yes, we're all very uncivilized and you're great. Now will you STFU?

[MannyIsGod]

Pop is in his stubborn not doing the common sense thing to send a message.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Yes, we're all very uncivilized and you're great. Now will you STFU?

Fine. You and Johnny Blaze drop it, we'll move on.

[DubMcDub]

Clutch travel by TP.

[mikejones99]

Put Bowen and Duncan back in Horry for 3

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Fine. You and Johnny Blaze drop it, we'll move on.

Blow me, we'll move on.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

what I would like to know is where are the people who swore we were seeing the real Oberto during those couple of games about a week or two ago?? telling everyone who was surprised at how Oberto was playing that we didn't know shit about Oberto... well, where has this superefficient Oberto been for the last 3 or 4 games?

[Mavs<Spurs]

Horry for 3.

[mikejones99]

83 79 spurs

[loveforthegame]

Big shot Rob but this game is far from over.

[ShoogarBear]

Pop is in his stubborn not doing the common sense thing to send a message.That works for Phil Jackson, not Pop.

[ducks]

Clutch travel by TP.
he travels less then harris

[Mavs<Spurs]

Blow me, we'll move on.

Matthew 12:36 But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment.

[MannyIsGod]

Dude, I dropped it days ago, you dug it back up. You're a damn baby who wants to fire back but only under his rules. There's a reason why you're arguing alone. We have our style of posting and it is what it is. If you dont' like it then as I pointed out, I suggest you use the ignore function but you're not going to get a single person to change their posting style so you can just give up your crusade. Posting biblical verses to back up what your saying is only going to antagonize more people. Acting as though you're on some moral high ground on an internet message board is only going to alienate you even further. Trust me, Mr. Mathematician, you're severely misjudging many of the people you're speaking to in here, and it would be in your benefit to just leave well enough alone.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Comon Kings beat these guys! You came back just keep going at em!!!

[mikejones99]

8:11 SA - M. Finley enters game for B. Barry
8:11 SA - T. Duncan enters game for F. Oberto

[MannyIsGod]

He waited far too long to bring in Duncan and that killed our interior D

[MannyIsGod]

Oh no, don't give me 4 down over and over. Please don't.

[ShoogarBear]

Weak shit by Tim there.

[ShoogarBear]

SMOKIN' BRUCE BOWEN.

:smokin

[AFBlue]

Pop is in his stubborn not doing the common sense thing to send a message.

Seriously.... I've seen Brent Barry be a useless, turnover-prone player this game and he hasn't been pulled or even "talked to" once that I've seen. Beno is clearly a better option than Vaughn and has been a better shooter this game than Barry.

Pop...man sometimes... :bang

[MannyIsGod]

Bruce!!!

[mikejones99]

horry rebound, Bowen for 3, 5th one Spurs by 5

[ShoogarBear]

Fuck Tim, stop fading away.

[ducks]

6:03 SA - B. Bowen made a 23-foot three-pointer from the left corner. Assist: T. Parker
bowen has 20

[ducks]

bowen has taken 10 shots one more then duncan now!

[MannyIsGod]

Damn, Horry with a great block but no one there to clean it up.

[ducks]

J. Salmons
10-17, 20 Pts
4 Rebs, 3 Assists
has been impressive

[atxrocker]

lets go kings

[loveforthegame]

Duncan keeps throwing junk up hoping to get the foul call.

[atxrocker]

we won't lay down for you guys, we're right back in this

[ducks]

6 points so far for the spurs this quarter?

[DubMcDub]

God, Sean Elliott is absolutely awful.

[kingsfan]

Cpme on Kings!

[phxspurfan]

pop living or dying with starting lineup for spurs

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Rascal Flatts on the intro?

That reminds me of when I took Gina to see them and Gary Allan, they had two inflatable globes that read "The World Is Flatt's."

That damned apostrophe pissed me so much, I felt like taking a giant magic marker and using the copy editing sign for removing a character on each of the globes.

[MannyIsGod]

More 4 fucking down. What happen to the offense that got Tony off ?

[Dirk Nowitzki]

:lmao :lmao The Spurs are choking! Damn those Mavs for putting them in this slump!! :elephant

[MannyIsGod]

Finley is the last person I want taking a shot. Damn.

[phxspurfan]

kings announcers are very annoying

[tim_duncan_fan]

:lmao :lmao The Spurs are choking! Damn those Mavs for putting them in this slump!! :elephant

yep. :pctoss

[MannyIsGod]

Damn, Tony throws away a great play with that nasty pass.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Look. First, when we disagreed, I didn't engage in namecalling. I disagreed with you. That's why I responded today. There is a difference between disagreeing with a person's opinion and trashing them and cursing them. I try not to do the latter.

I don't know anybody here.
I've got my own set of friends, so if people do or don't like me here, it's all the same.

I've been posting here for a while now and this is probably the first time I even quoted a Bible verse. So, it's not like I am preaching at you all all the time.
And if you all hadn't made explicit vulgar sexual references, then I wouldn't have quoted this time.

I don't pretend to be perfect. I do try not to be insensitive or rude to other people for little or no reason. I also try to differentiate between a person and their viewpoint. If I disagree with somebody, that doesn't mean that they are an idiot and I don't label people as an ....ing ... idiot.

[Budkin]

Nice pass Tony!!! :lol

[ducks]

duncan has 14
if he gets 6 points he will have 20
bowen,tp and duncan will combine for 60 then

[phxspurfan]

More 4 fucking down. What happen to the offense that got Tony off ?

whats 4 down? into timmy?

[Budkin]

When's the last time we lost 3 games in a row?

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Against my boys last year in the playoffs! :spin

[MannyIsGod]

Tony can't hold onto the damn ball. WTF?

[Budkin]

Best. Offense. Ever. We're losing this one. :depressed

[Gerryatrics]

Seriously.... I've seen Brent Barry be a useless, turnover-prone player this game and he hasn't been pulled or even "talked to" once that I've seen.

Eh? He has 1 TO. His shooting obviously sucks tonight, I guess we're seeing Pop's brilliant plan to let the 80% 3PT shooter rot on the bench come to fruition. Finley isn't exactly lighting it up tonight either though.

[phxspurfan]

bowen

[loveforthegame]

BIG fucking shot by Bowen.

[ShoogarBear]

Bruce is freakin saving them.

[MannyIsGod]

Bruce is the MVP of the night. Everyone else is laying a damn egg.

Sorry dude, I shouldn't have said that. I was just being a negative little bitch. I'm mostly done being a pessimist but it comes back from time to time. :hat

I'm seriously getting tired of you ejaculating prematurely, it's making a mess of the forum.

[MannyIsGod]

What a bullshit win. They really pissed me off. I was almost hoping they'd lose so we'd get the soft speech. :lolPop will still rip them. This team is not going to turn it on for months. Its the same bored look they have every year at this time. I guess thats the price you pay for success.

I'm seriously getting tired of you ejaculating prematurely, it's making a mess of the forum.

Gooo West Virginia And Michigan!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Defend Horry. I fucking dare you all to defend him and his place in the rotation.

Hater.

[wildbill2u]

Well, Horry misses his FTs and they get the ball--but miss a half court shot by Bibby.

Spurs win. Never a doubt.

[phxspurfan]

screwwww ohio state!!!

[ATX Spur]

Shit! Good, but shit, that was ugly at the end.

[Spurologist]

I didn't watch the game but I know Horry fucked away the first half lead

[dimsah]

Why was Horry still in the game at that point?
Does Pop even watch what's going on? Does he takes tips from the magic 8-ball?

I don't get it. Oh, and thanks for not completely choking Spurs.

[ducks]

L. James 29 4-18 0-3 3-4 1 5 2 2 0 0 0 11

GO LEBRON!

[pjjrfan]

Damn, at what point did these guys go to sleep on the Kings? I thought when Beno turned it over on two possessions in a row, the slide began. But after Vaughn came in and got it going again, Tony made even worse mistakes. The spurs looked more tired than the Kings who played last night.

[Leetonidas]

A win is all that matters.

[dimsah]

I may quit watching spurs games.... until JanuaryMight as well. Pop has.

[Bob Lanier]

I hear Rob's clutchness doesn't turn on until May 15th.

[Budkin]

Put Horry on ice until the playoffs. I still think he's got something to give us, just not now.

[ShoogarBear]

4 of 11

He almost pulled a Sean Elliott game 1 1995 WCF out there tonight.

[loveforthegame]

That was closer than it needed to be. Oh well. Spurs win and move on.

[DubMcDub]

I hear Rob's clutchness doesn't turn on until May 15th.

Ya he was huge against the Mavs last year. :lol

[TheSanityAnnex]

There were a couple key possessions there (4th) where the Kings ran down the shot clock on defense only to give up a rebound to the Spurs on a lucky bounce. That saved you guys a couple of times. I was impressed with the defense Brad Miller played on Duncan tonight.

[dimsah]

what did rob do on FTs ? something like 4 out of 10 ?
4-11

I'm sure glad we signed Elson to sit on the bench. Couldn't have used an athletic big at any point in this game.

[#1kingsfan]

Hmmm.... the spurs were lucky today.

[Budkin]

Props to the Kings for not quitting and fighting back. You all had the Spurs choking hard.

[ducks]

4-11

horry on ft shooting

he is taking lessons from duncan :spin

[George Gervin's Afro]

Ya he was huge against the Mavs last year. :lol


clutch and mavs..oxymoron

[Duncanoypi]

:blah :blah Game isnt over yet COMON KINGS!!!!! :drunk

This is the game turning.....Kings must blame this guy.... :blah

[Slinkyman]

Ya he was huge against the Mavs last year. :lol

Horry 6 rings... Mavs 0 :lol

[T Park]

I'm sure glad we signed Elson to sit on the bench. Couldn't have used an athletic big at any point in this game.

Too bad Elson was the worst defensive big that played tonight.

Pay attention, Mavs fans.
This is what's known as "respect".
Perhaps you can try using it once in a while.
Who knows? Maybe even someday, you might even be GIVEN some of it.

The west is just alot tougher now. No gimmes really. Spurs need to get tough if they want to win. Pop needs to get Elson involved again.

Random Thoughts:

Great job by KMartin and Salmons. I like watching the Kings; they are scrappy.

Spurs combination of stagnant offense and non-existent D in stretches almost did them in. Their ball movement sucked from mid 3rdQ onward.

Thank God for Bruce Bowen's threes (and for the Kings doubling off him).

I miss Manu.

It was good to see EWill get some time and look good on the floor.

Barry joined Finley as the bad-shooting shooters tonight.

Why can't Horry hit a free throw now?

How big is Elson's doghouse? I think it's so big by now that he must have a guest doghouse with room for Finley next.

[angel_luv]

That win was too close for my comfort but I'll take it.

I'm pretty sure I left the At&t center parking lot at the same time as Pop. It looked like him when I passed the car.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Would Ron Artest would have made a difference?

[spurschick]

I miss Manu.

It's becoming more obvious that the team does too. If nothing else, for his energy.

He gives the Spurs another great option (and opponents another thing to worry about) particularly in the fourth.

Plus he is a terrific energetic defender.

But another thing that's killing me in the back of my mind is watching Bowen play 40+ minutes per night because Manu isn't there. It better not come back to haunt the Spurs. Bowen is in great shape. But he's still 35.

[LilMissSPURfect]

Horry will soooned be ICED!

[Kori Ellis]

Would Ron Artest would have made a difference?

Sure.

Would Manu have made a difference?

On the other hand, it's giving him more opportunities on the offensive end. While Barry and Finley appear to be in a shooting slump, Bowen seems to be getting into a bit of a rhythm.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Sure.

Would Manu have made a difference?Most likely. But my comment was more geared towards Salmons playing extended minutes because of Artest's absence.

His man is leaving him to double Tim, so Bowen wide open. I'm glad he's knocking his shots down, but I'd still like him to get in his rhythm for 35 minutes a game not 42. :lol

42 minutes a game makes his defense suffer in the 4th. I don't care how good of shape he's in, it's going to be hard for him to keep chasing after guys and trying to get through screens all game long if he has to keep playing this much.

Get well soon, Manu, get well soon.

[BeerIsGood!]

SPURS Win!!! FUCKING Sweet!!!

[T Park]

Yeah Martin got open for a 3 to tie it up at 90, beating Bowen to a spot, wich Bowen usually gets to easily.

You could tell he was gassed the last minute there.

I don't know HOW he knocked that three down.

[TMTTRIO]

Good news. It looks like Manu may be back on Monday

Manu Ginobili missed his fourth straight game with a bruised back. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich thinks his star guard will be back for their next game.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Good news. It looks like Manu may be back on Monday
This is not good news....



























....its GREAT NEWS!

[Fillmoe]

Sure.

Would Manu have made a difference?


prolly.... but hes been playing pretty crappy this year

[leemajors]

prolly.... but hes been playing pretty crappy this year

his presence on the floor changes the way teams guard us. it can only help.

[T Park]

but hes been playing pretty crappy this year


his crappiness is twice what some's better games is.


Ginobili settles the rotations and bench players back down as well.

Also lets the 4th quarter execution get better
