Spurs vs. Sixers -- Game Blog

[Kori Ellis]

Can the Spurs do the impossible and lose this?

[efrem1]

Strap yourselves in Philly; it's gonna be a bumpy ride. Muhahahahaha!!!

[Chris Childs]

Spurs will easily take this one.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Every time I make a sure bet the day before, the Spurs do the opposite and screw me out of my VBookie money!

Luckily they'll break my streak today.

[TDfan2007]

yeah uhh, have the Spurs forgotten about Tim?

[PerforatedNeckline]

elson's dunk? how was it?

[AI-square]

Spurs should win quite comfortably. Surely a double-digit win. I have no illusions of the Sixers providing any kind of competition. I just want to see them play better ball.

[ChumpDumper]

Do you need a new screen name?

[TDfan2007]

Do you need a new screen name?

???

[ChumpDumper]

AI-square

[TDfan2007]

The Spurs look lifeless out there and give credit to the Sixers because they're playing their asses off.

[ChumpDumper]

Spurs are sleepwalking through this one.

[MannyIsGod]

Oh boy.

[AI-square]

AI-square

Yeah I do, but I haven't got one yet.

[MannyIsGod]

Holy shit Oberto dunked.

[TDfan2007]

24-17 Sixers...

[ChumpDumper]

If these lazy bastards played the Toros, they wouldn't cover the spread.

[loveforthegame]

This is embarrassing. No Iverson or Webber and we're down and being outrebounded.

[TDfan2007]

Manu with the pretty drive. Should've been an and1

[Spurologist]

Do the spurs need pillow out there

[MannyIsGod]

Manu holding fort. The Spurs will come out and put this away soon.

[efrem1]

Good way to end the quarter. Time for destruction Philly!!

[Spurologist]

10:08 SA - M. Finley missed a 27-foot three-pointer from the left wing

The last time FIN made a shot was....... :reading























:reading

[TDfan2007]

Nasty looking shot by Beno, but other than that the Spurs look like they've woken up thanks to Manu.

[TDfan2007]

Tim rejected, the Spurs are missing some easy shots right now

[E20]

This is kinda sad, cause it's AT San Antonio. I'd kind of understand why they're down 2 if this were AT Philly.

[ca®lo]

at least the score is tied already

[dg7md]

Spurs will take this game over in the third.

[TDfan2007]

Sweet looking and1 drive by Tim.

[ChumpDumper]

No one commented on Finley's hitting a shot?

[Spurologist]

:34.9 SA - M. Finley made a 27-foot three-pointer from the left wing. Assist: T. Duncan

[TDfan2007]

No one commented on Finley's hitting a shot?

okay well here it is... :wow

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

heh heh this is crazy that they didn't get it going early, they must have had a let down. Or maybe Philly is mad?

[TDfan2007]

oh man what a drive by Tony!

[TDfan2007]

Kevin Ollie is going nuts and SO IS TONY!

[unnosy]

does anyone know how many techs duncan has received this season?

[TDfan2007]

Finley hits another shot, that one was a 3!

[ObiwanGinobili]

Pop going serbian at 1/2 time?

[TDfan2007]

defensive collapse.

[fred33]

is eva is at the game?

[ObiwanGinobili]

finley? slump?

[ChumpDumper]

is eva is at the game?Yes.

What if she wasn't?

[Spurologist]

:01.9 SA - M. Finley made a 15-foot jumper in the lane. Assist: T. Parker

[ObiwanGinobili]

finley? slump?


why yes I believe that may be declared over.

[MannyIsGod]

Tony making some crazy shots.

[loveforthegame]

I don't even care that it's against an undermaned or scrub team I'm just glad Finley is having a good game. Nothing special but hitting the few shots he's taken and getting a few rebounds and assists.

[boutons_]

Spurs suck

[dimsah]

What the fuck man? The Spurs should have had a 10 point lead before tip-off.
Giving up 50 points to a bad college team.

[picnroll]

When did Ollie and Green become all-stars?

[MannyIsGod]

Philly's got some athletes and they're overachieving. Scrub teams play with a lot of desire and heart. Don't minimize that.

[ducks]

mike is 3-4 nice
with 3 rebounds and 2 assist

[ObiwanGinobili]

^ yes.

without AI they are playing as a team - not as backup dancers to a superstar.

[1Parker1]

^ yes.

without AI they are playing as a team - not as backup dancers to a superstar.


:lol W/O AI they've lost like 8 or 9 straight...

[ObiwanGinobili]

:lol W/O AI they've lost like 8 or 9 straight...

so? when it comes ot cohesivenes it;s not alway about the W. they are working out a whole new system. :dramaquee




BTW- where is you "city of brotherly love" love? :lol

[1Parker1]

Elson is a good passer, suprisingly.

[Spurologist]

Kevin Ollie


Insert here >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NBA All Star Game Ballot


Kevin Ollie >>>> AI

[1Parker1]

:lol Never mind,...

[AI-square]

Crazy game. Ollie 9/9 for 18 points. Dalembert with ZERO rebounds. And Willie Green throwing shots up like he's the new AI.

[dirk4mvp]

How many goaltends does Dalembert have? Just curious.

[Spurologist]

7:37 SA - T. Parker made a 27-foot three-pointer from the left wing

For pop's mental state, good thing he made it

[Sacramental]

btw, dirk4mvp whats with the kings in your sig? it's true, but can't you put any other team?

[ducks]

7:37 SA - T. Parker made a 27-foot three-pointer from the left wing
tp is 2 for 2 from downtown tonight
SWEET

[Spurologist]

Damn. TP is on



Faaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiyaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa

[exstatic]

When did Ollie and Green become all-stars?
The same time Matt Barnes did. :dizzy

[ducks]

5:07 SA - M. Finley made a 23-foot three-pointer from the left corner. Assist: T. Parker

[picnroll]

7:37 SA - T. Parker made a 27-foot three-pointer from the left wing

For pop's mental state, good thing he made it
One second on the shot clock so Parker gets a pass if he misses.

[ducks]

spurs up 15 I can relax now

[ChumpDumper]

Finley 15 minutes, 4-5 fg, 2-3 3pt

Keep it up.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Come on get the lead up to twenty so I don't have to monitor the play by play anymore.

[ducks]

3:30 SA - Layup by T. Duncan. Assist: M. Finley
3:39 SA - B. Bowen steals the ball from S. Dalembert
4:05 SA - M. Finley dunks the ball. Assist: T. Duncan

4:18 SA - M. Finley missed a 21-foot jumper from the left wing

[dirk4mvp]

btw, dirk4mvp whats with the kings in your sig? it's true, but can't you put any other team?


because TSA (a kings fan on the board) put mavs>>>kings in his sig, but made it into little size letters and put colts>>>chargers big in his sig. But I'll get rid of it since that was a while ago....

[ChumpDumper]

:lol

Since they showed the replay 20 times, is it ok to ask "Did you see that dunk by Finley?"

[dirk4mvp]

btw, dirk4mvp whats with the kings in your sig? it's true, but can't you put any other team?


here's a question for you....why the hell do you have VF's avatar as your profile pic?

[ducks]

this stretch spurs play bad teams hopefully mike starts hitting his shots and builds his confidence so when they face a good team he can still make them

[ducks]

horrible ending to quarter
spurs had the lead at 17 now it is 11

[ChumpDumper]

Trans-Siberian Orchestra?

If there was any doubt the Spurs have the lamest music, that just put it to rest.

[Spurologist]

Since when did I-gu-da-la turn into Erving

[ducks]

tp needs to start the 4

[Mr. Body]

Will Beno Udrih ever be a good shooter?

[TDfan2007]

Wow...Tim leaves and the Sixers go on a serious run.

[ChumpDumper]

:lol Alan Henderson is still in the league.

[Spurologist]

Lead slipping.

Srubs out.

Starters in.

[ducks]

goodness sake PUT TP IN DAMM IT

[ducks]

Wow...Tim leaves and the Sixers go on a serious run.
against the hornets they increased the lead
tonight BENO IS SUCKING

[timvp]

Gotta love Beno's pull up airball on the fast break. I liked Beno better when he played like a point guard.

[TDfan2007]

Damnit, Tim's gotta make that short shot.

[ducks]

one of the big three should always be in the game

[TDfan2007]

Tony is carrying us right now.

[TDfan2007]

This is a complete and total collapse.

[01Snake]

Sixers are ballin'

[ducks]

hopefully tp can gt 2 more assist and get over 20 points and 10 assist

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, I'd be better if it was just a complete collapse.

[ducks]

will pop play the pathetic card again?

[ducks]

that big three at the end of last quarter is still haunting the spurs

[TDfan2007]

Holy shit this is disgusting. Spurs are about to be down one if Igoudala makes his FTs

[Spurologist]

Merry fucking Christmas

[ashbeeigh]

what the hell? Honestly.

[1Parker1]

Ouch.

[TDfan2007]

Dalembert has blocked Tim 3 times today already. The only Spur that's awake right now is Tony.

[ducks]

come on 12 man lets make some more noice help them out

[boutons_]

Spurs suck, how embarrassing.

[Spurologist]

Dammit.

Next season, I'm going to furnish up the cash for NBA LEAGUE PASS

[ducks]

manu has one assist wtf?

[E20]

Don't choke it now.

[MannyIsGod]

The Spurs fucked around and found themselves in a game.

[boutons_]

Even if the Spurs win, it was a horrible game, blowing a 17 pt 2nd half lead

[SKINNYPIMP210]

Do We Even Have The Ball In Our Hands??? I'm Looking At The Espn Scoreboard Online And All I See Is Philly's Score Getting Higher And Higher!!! Fuckin Spurs, Pull Your Head Out Of Your Asses!

[picnroll]

Everyone but Parker and Finley should donate their paycheck to charity tonight.

[1Parker1]

It's always dangerous to play a short-handed team on a losing streak, with something to prove. Sixers know that if they win on the road against the Spurs, it could be a turning point for them...

[ducks]

exciting game for those attending
close

[TDfan2007]

thank you Manu

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

this is funny, stupid karma everyone even the ESPN preview assumed 76ers would get thier asses handed to them.

Big Threee By Manu

This is a mediocre college team living on high right now.

Fishing season for them will come closer than you think.

Maybe a bit harsh, but PHILLY is showing a lot of heart :tu

[MannyIsGod]

Huge hustle by Finley but Tony threw up a briiiiiiiiiiiick.

Awesome save by Finley too.

Took one for the team. :lol

[ducks]

Gino saves the day...again.
would not have to if he was playing better

is he pressing at home this season?

It's the NBA folks. All it takes is a career game by Kevin Ollie....

:wtf Where did I predict that the Sixers will win the championship by beating the Spurs tonight? I said it could be a "turning point for them," due in part to their current 10 game losing streak. Winning on the road against the Spurs can help their confidence a lot...

[MannyIsGod]

Manu for president. Awesome.

[angel_luv]

Those are my Spurs- beautiful job by Timmy and Gino. Wow!

[VaSpursFan]

huge layup by gino...he just willed that play

[1Parker1]

They took their foot off the gas too early, and looked like they were just going through the motions most of the night. Ugly, but I'll take it.

[J.T.]

Manu saves the day! Great to see him finally settling into a groove. This win doesn't taste as good seeing how we blew a 17 point second half lead, but Manu making all the hustle plays in crunch time is a great sight for sore eyes.

The game turned when they put in Beno in the middle of the third (was it the middle?) He's sucked new balls the past few games.

Nuggets, Knicks in wild brawl near end of game

By BRIAN MAHONEY, AP Basketball Writer
December 16, 2006

NEW YORK (AP) -- Ten players, including NBA scoring leader Carmelo Anthony, were ejected for fighting during a wild brawl near the end of Saturday night's game between the Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks.

All 10 players on the court at the time were tossed for their involvement in the ugly incident that spread across the court and spilled into the crowd at Madison Square Garden.

ADVERTISEMENT





The brawl was the NBA's scariest incident since Indiana Pacers players fought with Detroit Pistons' fans on the court and in the stands in 2004.

Anthony scored 34 points before the melee took place with 1:15 left in the Nuggets' 123-100 victory over the Knicks.

Denver led 119-100 when Knicks guard Mardy Collins grabbed Denver's J.R. Smith around the neck as Smith was going in for a breakaway layup. Smith got up and jawed with Collins, and New York's Nate Robinson jumped in to yell at Smith.

Anthony rushed in and pushed Robinson in the neck, triggering the roughest moment, when Robinson and Smith went flying into the stands while fighting with each other. Anthony also appeared to throw a punch at Collins, and then backed away toward the center of the court.

New York's Jared Jeffries ran from the baseline toward Anthony, but was tackled by a Denver player. The brawl stretched to the other end of the court toward the Nuggets' bench before coaches and security finally pulled Smith away and restored order.

With each team forced to put five new players on the floor, Denver finished up the win and ended a two-game losing streak. Marcus Camby had 24 points and nine rebounds, and Andre Miller added 12 points and 10 assists for the Nuggets.

[fred33]

sorry but tony was consistent all the game GINO HAS MAKE 2 HUGE BASKET BUT ALL ALL THE GAME IT WAS HOLY CRAP

[boutons_]

nbatv is not a source that wants to publicize a horrible brawl in a meaningless game. I'm sure it will be repeated all over ESPN and the cable news channels in great detail.

He wasn't even involved.

I would be surprised if he gets anything lower than a 20 games suspension

[exstatic]

Anthony might be suspended for the season. Sounds like it was a little bumping and jawing until he stuck his stupid ass into it. There is precedent. Just ask Artest.

[ducks]

finley had a good game also
but the church of manu will just worship manu and not even mention the fact had tp not put them in that postion that manu's 2 baskets would not mean anything

Wow, I can't believe about the brawl in NYC! :wow

if stern suspends melo for more then 10 games he should be fired
melo is not like ron artest and should get off MUCH lighter then ron

melo also is a mvp candiate stern is not going to suspend him more then 10 games

Melo SAW what happened in 2004 and still started some shit. Season done.

He threw two punches, one early and one right when they were starting to get control back. He's out for a LONG time.

[MannyIsGod]

For the season?

I bet Carmelo will be suspended 5 games.

[picnroll]

vBookie on games Melo's suspended.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

so much for the Leagues efforts to improve their image. Heh heh, perpetuates the image of them being "no good thugs".

[MannyIsGod]

Smith is a bitch. He won't do shit to Collins who fouled him but he goes after little Nate? Thats some weak shit. Don't get up and bump a chest like you're all pissed. Get up and take a swing but don't go after the little guy. Weak.

Melo will be suspended 5-10.

You're on crack. Minimum will be SJax equivalent, 30 games. He started it, and then re-started it again. Even if fans weren't involved, it went into the stands. Disgraceful.

[MannyIsGod]

Dude, he punched a player, not a fan. Big difference. 10 games max, more like 5 though.

if smith gets 30 games wonder if the sixers would still want him for next year?

Dude, he punched a player, not a fan. Big difference. 10 games max, more like 5 though.
Dude, he punched two players, and set of a brawl which led to 10 ejections and spilled into the stands.

[Mr. Body]

I'd say send a message with this one. Melo and maybe Smith with 15 games suspended, the two Knicks with 10, various other guys on the floor with a scattering here and there.

[picnroll]

Robinson and Smith went brawling into the crowd. They'll likely get nailed with some major suspenon, likely more than Melo.

[wildbill2u]

If Stern doesn't make the punishment equal to others who did the same thing, just because a superstar is involved, then he will expose his weak shit.

And the penalties should be equal to or greater because the league has made it clear that they will not tolerate fights. If they back down, they will look ridiculous.

[Mr. Body]

This is the NBA where a Spur player was T'd up (I think it was Elson) for coming into the game too slowly and with his jersey partially untucked. You think the instigators are getting 5-10? There WAS NO FIGHT until Melo swung his first weak-ass punch. Then he came back and connected again.

[IceColdBrewski]

Mello out for at least 10 games I'm sure.

[ShoogarBear]

Anthony might be suspended for the season. Sounds like it was a little bumping and jawing until he stuck his stupid ass into it. There is precedent. Just ask Artest.Not a chance.

Artest was suspended for punching a fan.

Spurs should have ejected their starters.

[leemajors]

they're gonna come down hard on everyone, stern will make it clear he doesn't want to see this shit again. 10 minimum.

[boutons_]

"he punched a player, not a fan."

Tonight's brawl took place in the recent context and history of the Pacers/Pistons brawl.

That the fans were not involved tonight is irrelevant.

The Knicks/Nuggets players should have known from the Nov 2004 brawl that the penalties were/would be severe and the NBA/Stern's extremely clear position about such conduct.

The tonight's brawl is not measured and scaled by comparing it with Nov 2004, but against Stern's "zero tolerance" policy.

[ChumpDumper]

So the Spurs and Sixers got into a fight?

[IceColdBrewski]

they're gonna come down hard on everyone, stern will make it clear he doesn't want to see this shit again. 10 minimum.

I wouldn't say everyone. Just those who threw punches. Guys like Channing Frye looked like they were trying to separate players more than anything.

So the Spurs and Sixers got into a fight?

No, but it was almost as ugly. :dizzy

BTW, Melo's getting at least 15 games for that cheap shot. Doesn't matter if it was a player or a fan. There's ZERO excuse for that kind of shit. :nope

So the Spurs and Sixers got into a fight?Does it really matter when a game blog deteriorates AFTER the game?

You guys were making good points--I thought they should be in the fight thread.

Beno swung and missed.
When he tried to use that man-purse as a slingshot, that was just rock bottom.

Beno swung and missed.
I hear he's going to be out for a month due to exhaustion.

That was really great how those 2 second round draft choices broke the tie versus the 76ers and scored 8 points for the win!!!

....Oh wait, the Spurs didn't trade #20 for 2 second rounders. That was Manu who willed the Spurs to another win. Good thing Pop didn't listen to Sequ. (as if Pop would)

Well, for now, you're just sitting on the sideline and we'll just have to let you know when you "got next". It's make it take it. Watch and learn.
