[SAtown]

Morrison has pretty bangs.

[boutons_]

Bruce has already got Morrison whining to the refs. :lol

[boutons_]

Cats whining already. :)

[boutons_]

Spurs sucking.

[loveforthegame]

Duncan 3-5. Rest of team 0-3 (Parker 0-2, Finley 0-1).

Bobcats shooting 50%.

[boutons_]

Tim getting schooled, blocked, can't even hit a dunk

[MannyIsGod]

God damn. I've seen Tim get blocked far more this year than any other year and its still early.

[boutons_]

Tim misses 3 fucking dunks. get his ass on the pine.

[Emanuel20]

spurs look off

[MannyIsGod]

:lol @ the dunk. Fuck. Finally

[MannyIsGod]

Tim misses 3 fucking dunks. get his ass on the pine.If this is serious you're a moron.

[Emanuel20]

tim is 4-11

[DieMrBond]

3/10 for timmy? Nasty.

[boutons_]

Tim's fumbled 2 passes. Nazr-itis.

[SAtown]

Sloppy game so far against a sloppy team.

[Emanuel20]

aaaaaaaaaaaa ginobili has to improve his jumper

[boutons_]

Cats shooting very hot, Spurs stone cold. fuck not another loss to these lottey pussies.

[MannyIsGod]

I've never been so happy to see Manu not pass it as right there.

For all the shit people give Finley here for shooting a lot, wtf isn't anyone on Beno for the same? So much Finley hate.

[SAtown]

Bobcats suck so bad. We better win this time.

[Emanuel20]

drive to the basket why settle for a 3

[SAtown]

Holy shit Elson! learn to pass

[boutons_]

Typical Spurs garbage 1st qtr

come on, guys, wake the fuck up.

[SAtown]

Derek Anderson knew better than to take that layup himself...

[MannyIsGod]

You guys are worry about a loss and the 1st quater isn't even over? Perspective.

[MannyIsGod]

Omg Ther Spurs Lost The Tip They Better Not Lose!

[SAtown]

I ain't scurred.

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf okafor has 3blocks already in first quarter.....fuck this im goin to sleep

[boutons_]

Cats have 5 BLK in first qtr, Tim took 11 shots.
Enough charity touches for Tim, let somebody else shoot.

Spurs shooting 30%.

[Chris]

I don't think the Bobcats can play at this level for the whole game. Just a matter of time before Pop finds a weakness and takes advantage of their defense. We are getting everything we want on offense, we just need to limit the turnovers.

[MannyIsGod]

Cats have 5 BLK in first qtr, Tim took 11 shots.
Enough charity touches for Tim, let somebody else shoot.

Spurs shooting 30%.Idiot.

[MannyIsGod]

People are now complaining that our best player is getting charity touches. Do some of you just need shit to complain about?

[boutons_]

Come on, Fabs, "throw it down, grande hombre"

[ChumpDumper]

:lol who is Sean so pissed off about dunking without passing?

[MannyIsGod]

Oh, NASTY block by Wallace

[boutons_]

holy shit, the Spurs are getting blocked by like JV team

[MannyIsGod]

Barry should have just put that one up. One too many passes hung Elson out to dry.

[SAtown]

One too many passes. Barry should have taken it and maybe taken a foul.

[Chris]

That dunk by Barry and block by Wallace were equally THUG NASTY !

[MannyIsGod]

holy shit, the Spurs are getting blocked by like JV teamThe Bobcats can jump out of the gym.

[Chris]

:lol who is Sean so pissed off about dunking without passing?

Probably Tmac

[Manu20]

Gerald Wallace :wow

[01Snake]

See Pop saying "Mother Fucker" two times. :lol

[SAtown]

See Pop saying "Mother Fucker" two times. :lol

I saw that :lmao

[phxspurfan]

if TMac is on the break with Shane Battier or w/e, fuck that I wanna see T Mac throw it down. It takes 1, mofo

[Chris]

See Pop saying "Mother Fucker" two times. :lol

You hear the other coach telling the referee "You hear what you said? You hear what he said?" Then Pop comes over and calls him a snitch.

[MannyIsGod]

Horrible call on Tim!

[MannyIsGod]

errr on Fabricio

[SAtown]

Wallace is a monster

[MannyIsGod]

Horrible D. How do you let Wallace get free behind you?

[Chris]

What a great assist. Nash is somewhere giggling.

[MannyIsGod]

Finley for 333333!

[phxspurfan]

Finley Makes A Shot Stop The Press

[exstatic]

Finley Makes A Shot Stop The Press
Werd.

[loveforthegame]

Finley 4-8 the last game and 2-3 tonight. I'm keeping my fingers crossed but I still expect him to miss than to make it right now.

[MannyIsGod]

No new ball as going to help that shot by Felton

[MannyIsGod]

Even Finley doing something well gives you guys reason to hate. :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Horry's offense is looking much better lately.

[MannyIsGod]

Finley's 3 halfway down but pops out. Tough.

[thekingrobert]

if the game stays close parker or duncan will have a triple double, BOOK IT

[Emanuel20]

tony tony when you not shooting well PAAAASSSSSSS

[thekingrobert]

scratch that parker or manu

[loveforthegame]

Nope, not hating on Finley. One of my favorite players but I haven't seen anyone slump like he has. I'm happy to see him shooting well tonight and last game. Until he gets a few more good shooting games under his belt will I feel better.

[Emanuel20]

hahaha

[MannyIsGod]

Nope, not hating on Finley. One of my favorite players but I haven't seen anyone slump like he has. I'm happy to see him shooting well tonight and last game. Until he gets a few more good shooting games under his belt will I feel better.You must be new to basketball.

[MannyIsGod]

Horry look MUCH better of late. Hits a 3.

[MannyIsGod]

Damn, I was about to say good take by Parker and then he got stripped.

[Emanuel20]

slopy play by gino

[loveforthegame]

You must be new to basketball.

Yeah my first season.

Not a great finish to the half but at least we have the lead.

[Manu20]

The spurs bench look much better with manu. I especially like when Beno, Barry, and Manu all play at the same time.

[dimsah]

Tony's playing like shit.
pic n`roll and Tony shoots, or Tony drives the lane and gets stripped.
Can we not just run a fucking offense from time to time?

[dimsah]

How are we behind in rebounds? It seemed like we were dominating the boards.

[boutons_]

Tony's got Pink Taco on his mind.

[boutons_]

hey timvp, Bowen 0 RBs, first half.

[Kori Ellis]

Tim missing all those dunks was getting embarrassing. If he missed the two-handed one, he should have just quit for the night. :lol

[Kori Ellis]

:lol who is Sean so pissed off about dunking without passing?

Yeah I wondered if anyone knew who he was talking about. My guess would be Carmelo but I'm not sure.

[Kori Ellis]

What other ones did he miss? A two handed dunk is a whole lot harder than one handed...

The two handed dunk was easier in this case. He missed 3 dunks prior.

[Manu20]

Tim missing all those dunks was getting embarrassing. If he missed the two-handed one, he should have just quit for the night. :lol

I think Tim's excuse will be the new ball. :lol

[Kori Ellis]

Damn, that is embarrassing. I sure hope they were difficult dunks. When a 6'8'' whiteboy who doesnt play basketball can do something Duncan cannot, the Spurs truly have a problem.

They weren't difficult. He got blocked on one of them I think, the rest he was just clanking off back rim and front rim. He was getting super frustrated.

[Emanuel20]

why so many technical fouls

[boutons_]

holy fuck, Tony stinks tonight

[boutons_]

spurs running into each other on offense, at least 3 times.

[boutons_]

Tim looks like Gulliver, little guys eating his lunch

[boutons_]

Tony pulling his head out, go Tony

[boutons_]

Spurs need to get some separation soon.

[boutons_]

somebody fucking get in May's face!

[boutons_]

Manu blocked, 7 Blks

[MannyIsGod]

Tim looks like Gulliver, little guys eating his lunch:lmao

[SuperManu!!!]

Tony pulling his head out, go Tony

He just makes 1 shot and you call it pulling his head out?

[SuperManu!!!]

Spurs fg% sucks

[ShoogarBear]

Was Hermann trying to do Manu a favor the last two plays? That may be the worst NBA defense I've ever seen.

[boutons_]

Manu shows some stuff, go Manu

Manu being rude to Hermann.

[ChumpDumper]

:lol

If one just went by the comments in the blog, he would think we were losing badly.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

looks like he's stretching the lead

[exstatic]

"Mr. Hermann, you can get your clothes back after the game at the security desk"
Sean Elliott
:lmao

[boutons_]

Brent hangs 3!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Barry's been the most consistent Spur so far

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao

Derek Anderson got caught watching and waiting for the next Manu break down.

[boutons_]

as commanded, good separation going into 4th

[Kori Ellis]

He just makes 1 shot and you call it pulling his head out?

Tony's 4-for-10 with 5 assists and 3 boards.

Manu's 4-for-10 with 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals.

Neither one with great shooting nights but they are both getting some stuff done on the court.

[MannyIsGod]

4-10 isn't bad for guards. People here just want them to hit 50+ % every damn night.

[ChumpDumper]

Damn I wish Holt had just paid DA in 2001.

We could be paying him ten million dollars this season!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

All three of them have started with sloppy FG percentages. I'm glad I can't watch this game, since i read that Timmy missed a bunch of dunks.

[Kori Ellis]

Damn I wish Holt had just paid DA in 2001.

We could be paying him ten million dollars this season!

Yikes.

And Manu and Tony wouldn't be here.

[ChumpDumper]

It's been fine since Tim hit that dunk.

[MannyIsGod]

Horry has looked very good over the past few games.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu playing very well

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

4-10 isn't bad for guards. People here just want them to hit 50+ % every damn night.
well, Manu and Tony are both efficient scorers, so some just expect a little bit more than the average guard percentage.

[Kori Ellis]

Horry has looked very good over the past few games.

Yeah I think he's shooting upwards of 50% in the last three or four games. But more than that, he's super active.

[MannyIsGod]

Beno shoots soooooooooo much better as a spot up shooter than off the dribble.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu playing very well
I think he did a good job closing out the 3rd quarter.

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah I think he's shooting upwards of 50% in the last three or four games. But more than that, he's super active.Exactly. He's all over the place right now.

[ShoogarBear]

Manny's going to start the "Where are the Horry Haters Now?" thread.

[Kori Ellis]

Did anyone else see in the 2nd quarter when the refs warned Bowen and Morrison what that was all about? I am going to have to rewind later and see because I didn't catch it all.

[MannyIsGod]

Manny's going to start the "Where are the Horry Haters Now?" thread.Bitch, I'm one step ahead of you.

morrison is just 1-8 :clap

[MannyIsGod]

Anyone else expect Herman to bust out with..

"By the power of GreySkull!!!"

[ShoogarBear]

Actually, you were three minutes behind me, but okay.

It would have been funny if you had actually started a "Where are the Horry Haters" thread, though.

[ShoogarBear]

For being Mr. Fundamental, Tim has always had a weird release on his shots around the basket.

[ShoogarBear]

Good to see Elson getting some extended run.

[MannyIsGod]

You're right. I'll have to do that next time. You are wise, Shoog.

[ChumpDumper]

Where are all the Duncan haters now?

[MannyIsGod]

:lol

Sean is on fire tonight.

[MannyIsGod]

Enough charity touches for Tim, let somebody else shoot.

I can't believe Charlotte beat the Spurs at the AT&T. :bang

[Emanuel20]

manu hed 12 reb 7 assist that game

[MannyIsGod]

:lol

Damn, the Spurs can't dunk.

[ChumpDumper]

Catfans couldn't even bring themselves to laugh at Elson's missed dunk. I think they were trying to figure out how it came out (like me).

[Emanuel20]

morrison 1-10

[ChumpDumper]

morrison 1-10Yeah, Bruce isn't even guarding him
anymore. He's got Post Bowen'd Stress Disorder.

[Emanuel20]

[boutons_]

Great 3/4 of a basketball game, leaving them feeling like a lottery team.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Woo! another huge margin of victory. Tony and Manu didn't even have to play in the fourth.

[exstatic]

turn on off the stupid mics on the rims
They're ALWAYS on. It's just that some arenas are like a tomb...like tonight.

[SAtown]

I like the team we have this year. Once we dust off all the negatives (around Feb like every year), nobody will be able to compete, not even Dallas.

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, Bruce isn't even guarding him
anymore. He's got Post Bowen'd Stress Disorder.At least Morrison has some skilz. I want to see what happens the first time Bruce guards JJ Redick. He may retire him.

[ChumpDumper]

Great highlights of Bruce on Morrison like stink on shit. Bruce declines to comment on getting hit repeatedly.

[Borosai]

I stopped watching at halftime to rub one (or two) out and take a shower, and I come back and it's a blowout. :elephant

Now all I need is a bowl of Lucky Charms.

[carib]

I am very please with the last two games

[Winnipeg_Spur]

Good win. The trio of Manu-Beno-Barry (with Manu the defacto point) seems pretty effective lately. I'm curious if Pop will still find a way to go to it when Ginobili's starting again.

[ChumpDumper]

:lol Pop cussin up a storm on basic cable.

[spurschick]

That was a classic Pop moment!! :lmao

[ShoogarBear]

Whaat? Whatt?? :madrun

[ChumpDumper]

Damn, the lighting in the FSSW studio is turning Dana Larson into Two-Face.

[beirmeistr]

Yes, he will. When Manu was starting, Pop was taking manu out early in the period and then reinserting him in when Barry and beno were in late in the first quarter/early second quarter.

[spursaretheone]

can anyone put that Manu three point play on a gif for the forum. That was sweet and should have been the play of the game.

[Kori Ellis]

I made a thread about Pop. That was frickin classic.

[wildbill2u]

Damn, Barry was only 2-4 on 3s tonight!

His average is dropping like a stone. :hungry:

[efrem1]

The revenge tour continues. See ya next year Charlotte.

[xamila rey]

i missed most the game
can someone tell me how Oberto and Herman played tonight?

[Trainwreck2100]

They both played like shit

[mikejones99]

Dana Larson looks like she is a star trek extra vulcan.

[DieMrBond]

"They take Robert Horry, who's old as dirt, and they put him in a ball screen and you have to make a decision," Sean May said. "Are you going to stop Tony Parker from getting a layup or Robert Horry from hitting that 3? They just put you in a tough position."

[milkyway21]

3 blocks for Emeka again.

San Antonio must consider Okafor if he decides to see other options when he becomes FA. He's like the young Zo or the Admiral, IMO.

[milkyway21]

For being Mr. Fundamental, Tim has always had a weird release on his shots around the basket.
yeah. it's weird...

http://images.sportsline.com/u/photos/basketball/nba/img9855302.jpg:lol

[boutons_]

"weird release on his shots"

shots, in a very wide definition of the term. Many are more like wild tosses, random shot-puts, knuckle-balls, shoves ball in general direction of the backboard.

Not to mention he looks possessed, just look at his face. :dizzy

[Solid D]

i missed most the game
can someone tell me how Oberto and Herman played tonight?


Oberto had a solid game. The only time Fab had trouble on D was early when the Bobcats started the game small with Gerald Wallace playing the PF. Fab had a couple of nice plays inside where he went to the open space and scored. He's actually improved his FT shooting stroke. It's not so flat any more.

Herrmann didn't look very good on defense, especially when trying to defend Manu out on the floor. He did hit a couple of nice 3's from the right wing, one of them off a ball fake and one that was well-contested.

[dav4463]

Are these blowouts good for a team because of the extra rest for starters or do they cause a team to lose their edge and hurt them the next time they are challenged?

[phyzik]

Good question... I think in regards to the Spurs it hurts them (which is probably true that they could coast if Dallas wasnt right there).... they all get big ass fucking heads and think they can coast the next game.... so it hurts them. This all comes down to the coach though IMHO, If I was Pop Id be out there literally beating the shit out of them with a freaking whip if the team gave any inclanation that they think they can coast the next game, they are SOOO much better then what they have shown, the Golden State game is an indication of what the Spurs are capable of if they just buckle down and fucking play the game.

[dav4463]

Yeah, games where they start off sloppy and fall behind or just look lethargic for 3 1/2 quarters really piss me off. I like when they come out and play like the Spurs we all know and love. This team is too good to let other teams "think" they are as good as the Spurs.
