Spurs vs Hornets Game Blog

[jn77]

Dude is Elson wearing knee socks?

Yeah, looks like it! Haven't seen Beno in a while what's he wearing tonight? :lol

[Solid D]

Gino could easily go for 30+ tonight if Pop lets him. 21 points in 15 minutes.

[SpursWillOwn]

oh this game is sucha blow out.. this is a b2b game right?

[picnroll]

Larry Brown advising the Sixers on trading Iverson.

:lmao
Guess Isiah won't be working any Marbury or Francis for Iverson deals.

[nkdlunch]

Manu is pissed. Pop is a crazy mofo. he's gonna let the bench go on the court

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I'm alternating between NBA.com, CBS sportsline and ESPN right now :lol

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Now there was a dust-up between Mason and Ginobili, it's almost guaranteed we trade for him mid-season.

Just looked it up. Damn, he makes $8M. I thought it was less. There's a guy like Mo Pete, though, who makes as much as Eric Williams. I could see Toronto trading him out after they're out of the playoff hunt, if they don't mean to resign him.

Wouldn't the "Can't reacquire players you traded" rule apply?

[Spurologist]

:lol

TD looks like white bread in that old WAKE picture

[Mr. Body]

Wouldn't the "Can't reacquire players you traded" rule apply?

I mean, if Toronto doesn't want Mo Pete back at all, they may be willing to just dump him for equal expiring salary if it's clear they're not making the playoffs.

[Spurologist]

:lmao :lmao

Did anyone see Marc Jackson smacking his ass on that offensive possession. Is that a play signal?? WTF

[ShoogarBear]

Alright, everybody....get ready for the results of the STE NBA Fantasy league draft with six SpursTalkers as owners.

I'm sure it will be the talk of the forum all season.This is bullshit. Yahoo says that the AutoDraft will be conducted "sometime in the next 72 hours".

But then they also say that it has to be completed by tomorrrow.

I have no control over it.

[Darkwaters]

These commentators absolutely suck. They just called David West "Doug West".

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I mean, if Toronto doesn't want Mo Pete back at all, they may be willing to just dump him for equal expiring salary if it's clear they're not making the playoffs.

Trade Machine says it's okay, but I thought you couldn't reacquire players you traded for one year unless they cleared waivers.

[angel_luv]

Yeah, looks like it! Haven't seen Beno in a while what's he wearing tonight? :lol


I feel like Melissa Crawford. :lol

Elson apparently borrowed a pair of socks from a Catholic school girl.

Beno is wearing a leg brace.

[Mr. Body]

Trade Machine says it's okay, but I thought you couldn't reacquire players you traded for one year unless they cleared waivers.

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=656~929&teams=24~28

Who's reacquiring a player?

[angel_luv]

I can't stand Reggie Miller- for the record.

[Darkwaters]

That was a great play by Barry. Too bad it didn't work out for Tony.

[ShoogarBear]

I can't stand Reggie Miller- for the record.We know. But you love Tom Tolbert.

[MannyIsGod]

I mean, if Toronto doesn't want Mo Pete back at all, they may be willing to just dump him for equal expiring salary if it's clear they're not making the playoffs.sigh. Where did we get Williams from?

[angel_luv]

We know. But you love Tom Tolbert.


:lmao

[Spurologist]

Barry = Bird version 2

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Who's reacquiring a player?

The rule is actually for players traded during the season. I thought it was a time limit thing (Eric Williams back to TOR).

[Solid D]

Hilarious hearing Reggie Miller explain why Elson is starting over Oberto...because of his shot-blocking ability. If you don't know, you better ask somebody.

[ShoogarBear]

Bad night for CP3 to have one of his worst games ever.

[Mr. Body]

sigh. Where did we get Williams from?

I thought he was saying there's a provision to not resign a player you had traded for, after their contract had run out, and they wanted Mo Pete back.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

The rule is actually for players traded during the season. I thought it was a time limit thing (Eric Williams back to TOR).

A team cannot reacquire a player they traded away during that season (a season being July 1 - June 30) unless the player has been waived.

http://members.cox.net/lmcoon/salarycap.htm#85

[Spurologist]

Beno hasn't seen the floor since the half. Wonder why.

[jn77]

Hilarious hearing Reggie Miller explain why Elson is starting over Oberto...because of his shot-blocking ability. If you don't know, you better aks somebody.


These comentators suck, They are just talking to hear themselves talk. I haven't heard anything intelligent yet.

[MannyIsGod]

Hilarious hearing Reggie Miller explain why Elson is starting over Oberto...because of his shot-blocking ability. If you don't know, you better ask somebody.National broadcasters always make up bullshit. They were talking about how Pop has "let go of the reigns" more this season. WTF? They just come up with a bunch of BS.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Beno hasn't seen the floor since the half. Wonder why.

Pop's wingtip up his ass?

[Darkwaters]

Bad night for CP3 to have one of his worst games ever.

I've seen worse. There was one game that he went 0-10 from the field and only scored 2 points off of FTs. He had 4 assists too I think. That was a nasty night.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Did Albert Flores plagiarize that commercial's script?

[Mr. Body]

A team cannot reacquire a player they traded away during that season (a season being July 1 - June 30) unless the player has been waived.

http://members.cox.net/lmcoon/salarycap.htm#85

Got it. Thanks.

[angel_luv]

Beno sighting. :)

[Darkwaters]

Barry has made several heads-up plays tonight. I'm loving watching his game.

[Tek_XX]

Did Albert Flores plagiarize that commercial's script?

Yeah sounded familiar.

[Spurologist]

Pop's wingtip up his ass?

Oh wait.

The end of quarters specialist is checking in.

[MannyIsGod]

Can Oberto dunk?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Oh wait.

The end of quarters specialist is checking in.

This 20-point lead will be down to six shortly.

[ShoogarBear]

Beno sighting. :)Selling popcorn in the stands?

[Solid D]

Barry has made several heads-up plays tonight. I'm loving watching his game.

Except for the TO when he left his feet needlessly.

Beno back in. Oberto scores.

[jn77]

Beno sighting. :)


There goes the nieghborhood!

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao

Beno falls at the slightest bit of pressure and gets a bailout call.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Selling popcorn in the stands?

He fumbled his basket walking down the steps and dropped the money on his foot.

[jn77]

Someone tell these comentators that it is obERto not obirdo. :blah

[Darkwaters]

Except for the TO when he left his feet needlessly.

Beno back in. Oberto scores.

Yea, that was nasty. But everybody makes mistakes. I'm just glad that Barry seems to have found a nice role after struggling with it for so long.

[Spurologist]

James White in street clothes behind tp and td on the bench.

Dude needs to get some time on the court

[angel_luv]

Selling popcorn in the stands?

You are so bad tonight! :lol

[Solid D]

I thought it was Humberto.

[Tek_XX]

Spurs getting bail out calls when the game is practically over. Tell the officials to save them for a close game.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Beno is so bad tonight! :lol

Fixed it for you.

[ShoogarBear]

Beno sighting. :)

[MannyIsGod]

Beno is so bad everynight!:lol
Damn Asians never fix a damn thing correctly.

[angel_luv]

Mixed it for you.

:)

[Darkwaters]

Haha, a shout out to the "Tank and aircraft" comment.

[Tek_XX]

Thought the game was over. Could of sworn the last 6 minutes was garbage time.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Damn Asians never fix a damn thing correctly.

Bitch, you better have a stack of bunuelos ready and waiting on Sunday night.

[angel_luv]

That Bourbon St. tonight was funny Shoog- props. :)

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Beno must have washed all the popcorn salt out of his eyes to not screw up the end of the third.

[ShoogarBear]

We Are Marshall is going to suck suck suck.

[MannyIsGod]

mmm, buenoelos.

[MannyIsGod]

We Are Marshall is going to suck suck suck.I read its actually very good.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

mmm, buenoelos.

[jn77]

We Are Marshall is going to suck suck suck.


Why is Beno in it?

[Solid D]

We Are Marshall is going to suck suck suck.

I'm going to try to see the sneak this weekend. I'll let ya know.

[nkdlunch]

Bitch, you better have a stack of bunuelos ready and waiting on Sunday night.

bunuelos???? hahahahah damn bunuelos are the fuckin shit!!!!

[Tek_XX]

Damn Beno getting hated on bad tonight. He sucked tonight but was it worth 6 pages.

[angel_luv]

We Are Marshall is going to suck suck suck.

I think it looks inspirational.
What do you not like about the preview?

[dav4463]

This is the kind of performance we need to see every night. Great job so far by the Spurs.

[angel_luv]

Why is Beno in it?


Stop!


You guys are all getting coal in your stockings. :)

[Darkwaters]

I really want to see that Will Smith movie "Pursuit of Happyness"

[angel_luv]

Ha! Who just scored? Beno just scored. :)

[nkdlunch]

Beno sucks

[Darkwaters]

Brandon Bass in the game...the Hornets have packed it in.

[angel_luv]

I really want to see that Will Smith movie "Pursuit of Happyness"


I am going to see that tomorrow.

[Darkwaters]

Marcus "Marquinhos" Vinicius will see action pretty soon too.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Time to bring in E-Will to enforce.

[ShoogarBear]

Why is Beno in it?Close.

[angel_luv]

You know the game is a blow out when we are discussing movies in the game blog. :)

[Tek_XX]

It's an automatic call with the elbows whether you make contact or not.

[Solid D]

I heard Matthew McConnaghy on Rome today and he said a man who quit going to Marshall football games after the plane crash, finally went to a game this year following some of the things that happened during the making of this film.

[angel_luv]

Linton Johnson is with the hornets- since when???

[Duncanoypi]

fuck you Regie!

[ShoogarBear]

I really want to see that Will Smith movie "Pursuit of Happyness"That's the other one I think looks overly schmaltzy. Maybe I'll be proved wrong.

[jn77]

You know the game is a blow out when we are discussing movies in the game blog. :)

I know right :lol

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Manu should drop some more threes as payback.

Not that my fantasy team would benefit or anything. :lol

[angel_luv]

I saw him promoting the film on Oprah. He told that same story.

[Spurologist]

where would you like it next time FIN. WIDE fucking OPEN

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Linton Johnson is with the hornets- since when???

You do know the Heat won the title last year, right?

[angel_luv]

Manu should drop some more threes as payback.

Not that my fantasy team would benefit or anything. :lol

:lol

I can support that. :)

[Borosai]

Reggie Miller needs a new job...he blows hard!

That is all.

[Tek_XX]

Can Reggie talk about on court antics mr. Stick out your leg when your shooting to get a foul.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Reggie Miller needs a new job...he blows hard!

That is all.
Yeah Reggie definitely SUCKS

[angel_luv]

You do know the Heat won the title last year, right?


And all I heard was blah blah blah...

[Darkwaters]

Linton Johnson is with the hornets- since when???

He was traded to the Hornets midseason last year from the Nets. The Nets got Bostjan Nachbar and the Hornets got Johnson and Marc Jackson. Linton was actually just a toss in to make the salaries match but ended up playing the very next night because of injuries. He had a double double (16 points, 10 boards) and has been impressive ever since.

[angel_luv]

Reggie Remembers... and I thought nothing could be cornier than Steve Wonders.

Thank you. :)

[Spurologist]

Bonner = Ben Wallace

[ShoogarBear]

You do know the Heat won the title last year, right?You're full of shit.

I turned the series off with the Mavs up 2-0 and up by 13 with six minutes in the fourth quarter of game 3. Not even the most pussified of pussy teams could have blown that.

[Tek_XX]

I love the palming violation

[Solid D]

Nobody can score. I don't think the Spurs have but 3 or 4 assists in the 2nd half so far.

[ShoogarBear]

Holy crap, still 7:43 left?

[Darkwaters]

You're full of shit.

LOL

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I love Violet Palmer.

Eww.

[Tek_XX]

I hope reggie remembers wins a cable ace award.

[jn77]

I love the palming violation

of all the violations, palming is my favorite! :devil

[picnroll]

Finley making a late push to steal crappy player of the game from Beno.

[angel_luv]

Chris Paul looks like he is about to cry their on the bench.

[Darkwaters]

Marcus "Marquinhos" Vinicius! That guy is freakin' cool.

[ShoogarBear]

I heard Matthew McConnaghy on Rome today and he said a man who quit going to Marshall football games after the plane crash, finally went to a game this year following some of the things that happened during the making of this film.Tell the truth. Did you have to look up how to spell McConaughey?

Oh, wait, never mind . . .

[angel_luv]

Nice shot by Bonner.

[jn77]

are these guys still talking about the Iverson trade! :bang

[Tek_XX]

That bonner shot went down smooth.

[Spurologist]

BUTLER hits for two from the nice dish from tp

[Mr. Body]

Who was the dude standing up next to White?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

E-Will wearing a practice t-shirt with a coat.

Smoove.

[angel_luv]

[Darkwaters]

Jackie Butler! I thought I saw him on the bench. Has he even played a single minute before tonight all season?

[Mr. Body]

E-Will wearing a practice t-shirt with a coat.

Smoove.

Seriously? He looks like he ate all the popcorn with extra butter.

[angel_luv]

E-Will wearing a practice t-shirt with a coat.

Smoove.Damn, I missed that.

[Tek_XX]

Reggie saying Horry is 48...

Reggie says alot of stupid shit.

[Mr. Body]

What could we trade with Jackie Butler to get Hilton Armstrong? How many Jackie Butlers would it take?

[exstatic]

WTF was Pop doing grabbing his waistband? Was that busting an "I'm wearing Sansabelt" move?

[jn77]

I will remember Robert when he retires! Would love to forget Reggie Miller

[ShoogarBear]

Horry is full of crap mouthing that yinyang about giving up his rings.

[Tek_XX]

I don't think Reggie use "drinking the Kool-Aid" in the correct context.

[Sam]

4:48 NOK - L. Johnson steals the ball from B. Udrih
4:56 SA - Traveling on J. Butler
5:05 SA - Traveling on J. Butler

Thank you.

[jn77]

I don't think Reggie use "drinking the Kool-Aid" in the correct context.

I think Reggie is drinking the "Kool Aid" tonight

[nkdlunch]

Reggie said he would trade his 20thousand somethig pts for 1 ring from Horry

[Darkwaters]

Yes, and it was teh suck.

I only see the games that are a national broadcast...so I haven't seen him all season.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Horry is full of crap mouthing that yinyang about giving up his rings.
Yeah, boo frickin hoo

To experience being a key part for and knowing you played for the best team for 6 years out of your career?

[ChumpDumper]

Reggie said he would trade his 20thousand somethig pts for 1 ring from HorryThen you should have left the Pacers, dumbass.

[Tek_XX]

I think Reggie is drinking the "Kool Aid" tonight

He be drinking the HaterAid

[Mr. Body]

I only see the games that are a national broadcast...so I haven't seen him all season.

He's not very good plus he's tremendously slow. I think a ton of us were wrong to be excited about him.

[Sam]

I only see the games that are a national broadcast...so I haven't seen him all season.
And he sucks pretty much again tonight. I want him to hustle like Bonner is hustling. Show something.

[Mr. Body]

And he sucks pretty much again tonight. I want him to hustle like Bonner is hustling. Show something.

By the time he gears up to hustle, the play's already on the other side of the floor.

[nkdlunch]

I don't know. I always respected Reggie, he just respected the Pacers too much. he should have left them long time ago

[Tek_XX]

The pacers

Muahahahahahahaha

[angel_luv]

Avery- ew... I can't even look at him. Yuck.

[Tek_XX]

[ShoogarBear]

Ever notice that Avery and Blaze have the same eyes?

[angel_luv]

Pretty sad how empty those seats got in that arena.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Wasn't it a Spurs shirt? :lol

I was about to reply that it was a Spurs practice shirt, but by the time this is posted, I'm sure many have already said so (I finally got another score to take right as I hit reply).

[angel_luv]

Ever notice that Avery and Blaze have the same eyes?


Wicked! :lol

[angel_luv]

Yes- Beno!

[Solid D]

Tell the truth. Did you have to look up how to spell McConaughey?

Oh, wait, never mind . . .

:lol I'm sort of glad I didn't know how to spell his name.

[jn77]

Well that's it...Good night all see you later!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

If Chuck Person was "The Rifleman," does that make Jackie Butler "The Howitzer"?

[ChumpDumper]

Beno with zero assists- not a good sign.Made it accurate for you.

[angel_luv]

I didn't read the stat sheet- it is what it said on TNT- under Tony's name when he was being interviewed.

Sorry Tony. :oops

[ShoogarBear]

Tony with 12 turnovers and arrested after the game for indecent exposure- not a good sign.

[ChumpDumper]

Well, he didn't have any blocks. Let's play that up.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=261214003
Ginobili continued his strong return from a lower back contusion in late November that caused him to miss four games, scoring 24 points to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 103-77 victory over the undermanned New Orleans Hornets on Thursday night.

"He's playing better than he did last season," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "He's playing like he did the year before. He feels healthy, he's got his bounce back -- shooting the ball, driving, making decisions. So he's doing a real good job.

Interesting. Hopefully we have the 2005 Manu back and hopefully he can stay healthy :) .
