[Emanuel20]

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Smuch tried to get style points on the put back dunk and MISSED

[nkdlunch]

goddam howcome NBA players can't dunk anymore? is it the ball?

[boutons_]

come on Spurs, Lakers making all the plays and hitting all the shots.
we need to finish this qtr strong.

[Kori Ellis]

tp has 4 to he needs to start passing in the second half

:wtf

He is passing. He has 9 assists. I can tell you aren't watching the game or you'd see that the Lakers are doubling and trapping him.

[themvp]

We need some easy baskets from Tim and a couple of threes from Barry.

[1Parker1]

:lmao I still can't believe Lakers are 13-6 with Smush Parker as their starting PG. You look at the Lakers team on paper, and you'd think they'd barely survive the West...

[adidas11]

Checking the box scores on NBA.com so far...very interesting game.

[Kori Ellis]

Now that turnover sucked. :lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

[boutons_]

[Kori Ellis]

Question for those watching: How come Elson is getting so many minutes over Oberto?

Lakers frontcourt too athletic for Oberto I guess.

Damn now another Spurs turnover. Wtf.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

from bad to worse!

[Chris Childs]

Lets go Lakers (- Kobe)

[1Parker1]

Is Kobe trying to have a career night in steals? Going by the boxscore it seems like he has 6? All on Manu and Tony :wow

[ATX Spur]

:bang :drunk

[Duncanoypi]

what the fuck happen!

[Tek_XX]

Pop's team unprepared??

[Spurminator]

Oberto has four fouls and not much else.

[Emanuel20]

bench manu

[Leetonidas]

Man the Spurs are sucking major ass right now.

[Que Gee]

The ball movement is horrendous. None of them look like they know what they are doing...everyone dribbling around for 10 seconds, then trying to make a difficult pass....terrible.

[TDMVPDPOY]

gino with another TO, THATS FUCKN 5 TO in the last 2mins

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu and Tony fucked it up!

[ShoogarBear]

and another TO for tp again, fuck thisThree straight turnovers for Manu, got a comment?

[loveforthegame]

This sucks.

[themvp]

:madrun

[ducks]

1:34 LAL - L. Odom made a 25-foot three-pointer from the top of the arc. Assist: S. Parker

2:10 LAL - K. Bryant steals the ball from M. Ginobili

[boutons_]

[ATX Spur]

Three turnovers from Manu in less than a minute?

[Kori Ellis]

The Lakers are trapping the Spurs guards but the Spurs are being careless too. They have to simmer down.

[boutons_]

will be down 20 pts to start the 4th

[nkdlunch]

are the real Spurs still in the locker room?

[Kori Ellis]

Beno stripped leads to another Laker fastbreak score.

[anonymous coward]

the LA kobes wins

[TDMVPDPOY]

[Leetonidas]

What a fucking disgrace

[Texas_Ranger]

Manu sucks.

[Emanuel20]

Weeeeee Suckkkkkkkk

[ducks]

31.6 LAL - Layup by J. Farmar. Assist: K. Brown
:34.9 LAL - K. Brown steals the ball from B. Udrih

[ATX Spur]

How are asshats like Farmar and Kwame lighting us up?

[nkdlunch]

holy shit, Beno is getting his shit yelled at by Horry.

[dg7md]

This game's gotten WAY out of hand.

[Nero]

Finley has been the worst 20+ min player in the NBA this season. That's how bad he's been. Horry still contributes in plenty of other ways, besides shooting. It's hillarious when non-Spurs fan quote Finley as one of the reasons the Spurs are deep.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

As pissed as I am about the Cowboys lying down, the Lakers getting a win tonight makes me S-M-I-L-E! :)

[Kori Ellis]

Horry for 3!

[1Parker1]

Wow, that was like 6 steals in a row for the Lakers or something...

[themvp]

Where is Tim?!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

That was a piss poor effort on all sides of the court!

[boutons_]

Lakers couldn't miss, and Spurs played like total shit

[Leetonidas]

And of course Luke Fucking Walton scores. What a bunch of bullshit.

Spurs need to find their nuts and stop playing like a bunch of scared pussies.

[Spurminator]

Finley = HITA 2

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Horry for 3!
Horry's been the only one. I know he hates the Lakers.

[boutons_]

"Where is Tim?!"

He didn't show up.

[1Parker1]

holy shit, Beno is getting his shit yelled at by Horry.

Wow, really?

[Tek_XX]

Lakers blew their wad, Spurs take it in the fourth quarter.

[Duncanoypi]

fuck spurs...if opponents scores against them with consecutive baskets...surely they will panic

[Spurologist]

As pissed as I am about the Cowboys lying down, the Lakers getting a win tonight makes me S-M-I-L-E! :)

The game is basketball is played in four quarters. This isn't hockey.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

And of course Luke Fucking Walton scores. What a bunch of bullshit.

Spurs need to find their nuts and stop playing like a bunch of scared pussies.
PTSD

[Que Gee]

Pop, after getting down 14 points, and thinking to himself..."hmmm, our ball movement is terrible and the combination of Manu, Barry and Udrih has been killing it...maybe I'll put Brent in and see what happens." "Brent should be rested after playing only 5 minutes in the first half, and 37 seconds of the 3rd quarter."

Geeeenius!

[adidas11]

:)

[boutons_]

Spurs lose 3rd qtr 22 - 37

[Emanuel20]

i would be pissed if i saw the last 2 minutes of the 3 qt

[duncan2k5]

score and time?

[bdictjames]

Spurs with no blocks? Cmon play hard defense...

[Tek_XX]

Wow, really?


More like "hey man you gotta take care of the ball"

[Duncanoypi]

fuck popovich...sometimes he didn't know when to take duncan out?...look at that!

Horry's been the only one. I know he hates the Lakers.

That's BS. Horry doesn't 'hate' us. :pctoss

[Emanuel20]

manu and tony with 5 TO

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs with no blocks? Cmon play hard defense...
They've been giving them a bunch of AND 1's !!!!

[ChumpDumper]

Is December 10 too early to play the "soft" card?

[themvp]

Spurs lose 3rd qtr 22 - 37

Ouch!

[TDMVPDPOY]

anyway i give up, this team doesnt look like it wants to win tonite

[boutons_]

We'll see if the Spurs can find their balls in the 4th.

is the game over already

Spurs paint pts 22 - 50

[Admidave50]

turnovers are killing us!

[Texas_Ranger]

C'mon Spurs, lets win this fucking game.

[Kori Ellis]

Pretty give and go between Horry and Tim.

[Beaverfuzz]

It's one game, it's not like the Lakers don't have a decent record this year or something. Plenty of games to go, starting tomorrow night.

[Que Gee]

Lol...that shot was a joke. At least theycalled it a two though.

[ShoogarBear]

Is December 10 too early to play the "soft" card?We should have had a vBookie. :madrun

[cqsallie]

Can't get this game anywhere.... Been watching the score on Fox Website.... What the hell's happening?

[Emanuel20]

[Spurologist]

He's on the

[Leetonidas]

Fuck man, the Spurs are getting wide open shots and just blowing them.

[ATX Spur]

why has Duncan only taken 7 shots?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Hmm...what's our answer?

Duncan?

[Tek_XX]

Spurs letting all these chances go, you know Bryant just gonna try to take over once he comes back in. Will Pop be ready?

[boutons_]

trading baskets won't work, Spurs need to get some stops

[Texas_Ranger]

He's on the

B
E

NO.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I think Horry turned his switch on. He doesn't want to lose this stupid game.

All they need is to score in the paint more and not depend on jumpshots. And play some D!

[Admidave50]

damn, spurs got cold again! they must get back when kobe is on the bench!

[Spurologist]

NO.

He might as well

[Kori Ellis]

Come on Spurs. I don't know why Beno and Finley are playing. But let's go!

Has Finley considered visiting his optometrist?

[Spurologist]

[VaSpursFan]

[Kori Ellis]

Fin with a 3 to cut it to 5 (he airballed on previous possession).

[Duncanoypi]

Go spurs...!!!!its not yet late....

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, Kobe sucks at threes. :rolleyes

[ATX Spur]

Finley's trying to tell me to shut the fuck up.

[Kori Ellis]

[Admidave50]

[Que Gee]

I know Tony has some assists tonight, but I hope he keeps the ball movement going now that he is in...that group had good flow.

[boutons_]

Spurs -3, way to go.

Beno was in too long

ok, Tony we need some real good ball

[Admidave50]

man, kobe saw a man flying...

[duncan2k5]

trust me ppl...kobe will try to take over at the end, then choke brick after brick. it never fails

[Kori Ellis]

Good run with Manu and Tony out. Tony back in now. Manu needs to come in too.

[Spurminator]

Bruce stop Kobe will you!!!


Yes, and while you're at it, could you maybe end world hunger?

[bdictjames]

Now this is Spurs basketball!!!

[nkdlunch]

Fuck!!!!

[1Parker1]

Kobe trying to do it himself and missing his shots!

[ShoogarBear]

Walton on a breakaway?? F'in bullshit

[boutons_]

Tim sucks, sleeping in transition

[Kori Ellis]

Tim is giving up too easy on the defensive end.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

why the fuck did they keep passing on the open shots!

[ChumpDumper]

Tonights game blog reads like the teleplay to Sybil.

[Kori Ellis]

Timeout Lakers, Tony going to the line.

[Spurologist]

Barry = kobe stopper

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

we'll lose because of our defensive lapses. Too many easy buckets for the Lakers.

[bdictjames]

This is still a game.. 5 minutes yet to play

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Kobe's a bastard. Anyone see his cocky wink?

[boutons_]

Tony's first FTs come in 4th qtr

[Duncanoypi]

This is still a game.. 5 minutes yet to play
Yeah, but it's too close for comfort. I hope we grind it out and get back on top!

[duncan2k5]

[anonymous coward]

Barry = kobe stopper
kobe' selfisness = kobe stopper

[Que Gee]

Why isn't Manu in for Finley?

[Kori Ellis]

Tony 1/2 from line :( Foul on Bruce Bowen for doing nothing.

[Duncanoypi]

Believe!!!

[VaSpursFan]

where is manu?????

[nkdlunch]

Our only hope to take this game is Bowen getting a few stops on Kobe.

[tim_duncan_fan]

We're going to lose to the lakers again. pop cant get phil out of his head. :cry

[Kori Ellis]

94-90 - Tony with a layin as the shot clock is running out. (Barry should have taken the 3 though).

[ATX Spur]

94-90 Lakers

[bdictjames]

Bryant makes shot, Lakers up by 6

[Que Gee]

If Manu comes in for Barry instead of Finley...I will never post again.

[bdictjames]

TP for the lay-in!!!

[VaSpursFan]

small ball sucks ass...what's pop thinking????

[Leetonidas]

Story of the fucking night man. Fucking bitch ass Kwame Brown getting multiple and one's.

[Spurologist]

small ball will fuck you over every time

[Kori Ellis]

Spurs small ball lineup getting killed on the glass. Kwame gets an O board and an And 1.

[nkdlunch]

OK finally a decent lineup....

[Kori Ellis]

Tony with the floater 96-92.

[ATX Spur]

I think the rest of the Spurs should give Findog a code red.

[bdictjames]

Play some defense

[Kori Ellis]

Next possession Tony got blocked and Walton an And 1 on the other end. Horrible call.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

That was horrible !!

[Leetonidas]

What kind a stupid dumbass foul was that?

[bdictjames]

Shit

[dg7md]

Parker was due to make a painly bad layup miss but goddamit.

[Tek_XX]

Hmm maybe pop knew something about Barry that we didn't

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf isnt ginoboli in the fuckn game?

[Leetonidas]

Jesus Christ the Spurs just keep shooting themselves in the foot.

[ducks]

do we always have to foul

[boutons_]

come on Brent, foul him so he can't shoot, fucking and1 with 3.5 minutes left and trying to catch them.

[duncan2k5]

how much time left?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

unbelievable

[Spurologist]

Barry taps Walton on the break for the and1. Barry has never heard of a hard foul

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Man Parker keeps canceling himself out in the 4th, Stupid Kwame!

[bdictjames]

Hope it's not over

[Que Gee]

Next possession Tony got blocked and Walton an And 1 on the other end. Horrible call.

Continuation? WTF?!
:pctoss

[Admidave50]

damn and1 for walton, if tp didn't get blocked...

[loveforthegame]

wtf isnt ginoboli in the fuckn game?

He is. He came in for Finley a couple minutes ago.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Barry taps Walton on the break for the and1. Barry has never heard of a hard foul
Yeah, it was bullshit. For a guy with a high basketball IQ that was just retarded.

[VaSpursFan]

when you foul that close to the basket, wrap them up so they can't get the shot off. that was weak brent!!!

[Spurologist]

turning point so far and could be the back breaker.

tp gets blocked at the rim. Two points the other way for two.

98-92

[naico]

some kind of record with all those 2+1s? ridiculous!!

[bdictjames]

Considering they're both the sons of legends

[Admidave50]

anyway, stupid foul by barry! he should have stopped walton completely

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

damn and1 for walton, if tp didn't get blocked...
we were right there! we still got time though.

[Kori Ellis]

Finley, Bonner and Beno combined are 2-for-16 and somehow the Spurs are still shooting about 50 percent.

[bdictjames]

Aw this is retarded

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

What does Pop see in playing small lineups??

[anonymous coward]

overrrrrrrrr

[Kori Ellis]

Timmy gets T'd up.

[boutons_]

game's over

[Que Gee]

Tony had Barry wide open in the corner!

[Spurologist]

td gets tied up for jumpball

td gets a tech for arguing

[Walton Buys Off Me]

The Spurs proving that they are not championship material tonight at Staples. Getting outworked, outclassed and outhustled by a far less talented team.

When Kwame Brown dominates Tim Duncan like he has tonight, we better hope we don't see this team in the playoffs because they will beat us.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Walton and Kwame looking like superstars this game! :pctoss :bang

[Emanuel20]

we lost tccccc

[Texas_Ranger]

Finley, Bonner and Beno combined are 2-for-16 and somehow the Spurs are still shooting about 50 percent.

That is just great. :dizzy

[bdictjames]

T on Duncan??????

[Spurologist]

TD: "Fucking horrible call"

[tim_duncan_fan]

one day this team will allow duncan to shoot the ball more than 9 times in a close game. one day.

[supaphly119]

Bullshit

[dg7md]

Cowboys AND Spurs lose tonight? :pctoss

[supaphly119]

oh my god, call more fouls, AWESOME.

[bdictjames]

Is it over now?

[TDMVPDPOY]

tim with the tech

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

these calls are B.S.!!!

[bdictjames]

I mean, really, is it over?

[thekingrobert]

Tim Duncan the heart and soul of the team and the leader has taken 8 shots. Please someone tell me why?
