Hornets vs. Spurs game blog

[SAtown]

I figured I'd start it since it's gametime and there is no thread.

[SAtown]

It's time to snap the hell out of whatever is happening to our Spurs. Elson is back so that's a good sign at least

[SAtown]

Sloppy game so far. Duncan TO on the opening possession and a Bruce one as well

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs with 2TOs in a minute

[SAtown]

make it 3 Turnovers

[ShoogarBear]

Tim just turned into Rasho Nesterovic on that last shot.

[Solid D]

Tim is in super slo motion tonight. He looks like Grandpa Tim.

[SAtown]

Tim and Fabricio are owning the TO department.

[Spurs Brazil]

2nd def 3 secs on the Spurs and the Hornets missed those FTs

[Spurs Brazil]

T on Pop

[SAtown]

Pop just got ejected.

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop is gone

[LakerHater]

fuckin Pop just got ejected!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Hornets 2-7 from the FT

[VaSpursFan]

sean: pop just wanted and early dinner...he was tired of watching the turnovers

[SAtown]

Tim and Horry looking like 2 young DRobs

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice play 2 blocks on D and the score at the other end

[Chris]

Lets see how PJ runs the team! :hungry:

[aaronstampler]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Pop had this planned from the beginning. He wants these guys to motivate themselves to play better instead of having to scream at them all night.

[SAtown]

What's Pop thinking? The last thing this team needs is the coach loosing his cool and getting tossed. Is this a reflection of the team losing it or what?

[MannyIsGod]

Watching this team is one long groan for me right now. Aside form that series with the 2 blocks, this game really blows right now.

[Cherry]

fuckin Pop just got ejected!!!


:dizzy :pctoss

[bdictjames]

CIA folks.

[Spurs Brazil]

Brent missed a T again, he also missed one in LA game

[boutons_]

Does Pop have wine stash at @ATT, some cheese and bread.

[SAtown]

I like PJ's mentality. "Protect the glass and BLOW THEM OUT!"

[dg7md]

Make PJ the head coach!

[bdictjames]

Wasn't Carlesimo a former head coach?

[dg7md]

Wasn't Carlesimo a former head coach?

Yep.

[SAtown]

Wasn't Carlesimo a former head coach?

Yes, Golden State I believe.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs shooting and missing a lot of triples again

[ShoogarBear]

Spurs sticking to their patented formula of giving up offensive rebounds.

[VaSpursFan]

man...the d has definitely picked up

[SAtown]

Great hustle by Barry. Turns it over, then rushes back to get it. That's what this team needs more from, especially from everyone else besides Manu

[Spurs Brazil]

TP playing well

[ShoogarBear]

Uh, think the Hornets miss Chris Paul a little bit?

[MannyIsGod]

GET THE FUCK UP TIM. God damn, thats the 04534903840938409384309483098 lazy play from him this year. Get your ass up.

[MarCowMar]

That fake behind the back by TP was amazing!

I wonder if Pop would consider stepping down and letting PJ have the job.

[SAtown]

Why is the Coyote wearing a blue jersey

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN Beno in

[carina_gino20]

wow. TP with already 5 freethrows in the 1st? what the hell happened to get pop ejected?

[MannyIsGod]

Nice look from Beno.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Pop is already ejected!?!?

THANK GOD

maybe we can get some coaching done on this team

what did he do? argue with the refs?

[VaSpursFan]

beno with the nice pass to manu...is that really beno???

[boutons_]

"Pop would consider stepping down and letting PJ have the job."

I bet PJ stays, and takes over when Tim's contract is up and Pop and Tim retire.

[SAtown]

wow. TP with already 5 freethrows in the 1st? what the hell happened to get pop ejected?

He bitched about a late whistle, got a T, kept bitching for no reason, got another T. All with 6 minutes left in the 1st.

[MannyIsGod]

Horrible chuck by Horry.

[carina_gino20]

He bitched about a late whistle, got a T, kept bitching for no reason, got another T. All with 6 minutes left in the 1st.

haha. :lol at pop going 'purposefully' postal.

[SAtown]

Spurs are at least showing a bit of fire. Barry's pissed for some reason

[aaronstampler]

Spurs are at least showing a bit of fire. Barry's pissed for some reason

Probably realizes they're trying to move him.

[Chris]

Spurs are at least showing a bit of fire. Barry's pissed for some reason

He missed a t-free throw.

[MannyIsGod]

I'm honestly not too happy with that 1st quarter. They are doing what they should do in a sense: blowing out a horrible NBA team, but they still are showing lots of the same shit that has them playing bad ball. They're turning it over a lot, the shot selection isn't very good, and Tim looks like ass.

[carina_gino20]

beno for three?

[SAtown]

Hell yeah Elson.

[carina_gino20]

woot! Elson!

[Spurs Brazil]

Elson in

[boutons_]

cool step back jumper by FE

[dg7md]

Spurs taking a huge lead with PJ as coach!

[SAtown]

:flag: :downspin: WOOOT!!

[Spurs Brazil]

What the hell is happening?

Finley and Beno making shoots

Spurs up 20

[aaronstampler]

Beno's playing well, so it's going to be one of those nights...

[ShoogarBear]

Okay, so from this game we learn that if everyone is hitting their shots, we can blow out the Hornets without Chris Paul.

[MannyIsGod]

God damn, it also pisses me off to see Finley and Beno hit shots in this game. Hopefully those bitches can get on a fucking roll.

[dg7md]

It's all because of Pop being ejected. :lol

[SAtown]

Okay, so from this game we learn that if everyone is hitting their shots, we can blow out the Hornets without Chris Paul.

Very interesting.

[MannyIsGod]

Okay, so from this game we learn that if everyone is hitting their shots, we can blow out the Hornets without Chris Paul.Yeah, and I realize that these games are good for confidence, but it doesn't mean jack shit. Why can't these bitches hit some shots in games that matter?

[MannyIsGod]

Tim is still scoreless. Great.

[VaSpursFan]

fin is on tonight...wow. he's just letting it fly

[SAtown]

Shit! I didn't know 'old' teams can push the ball so fast like the Spurs are doing right now

[ShoogarBear]

God damn, it also pisses me off to see Finley and Beno hit shots in this game. Hopefully those bitches can get on a fucking roll.Exactly. It's kind of hard to get real excited about it.

[dg7md]

Please let THIS be the start of our 15 game win streak!

[SAtown]

Would it bother anyone if Pop gets ejected every game from now on?

[ShoogarBear]

Tim is still scoreless. Great.Got damn it, I need those fantasy points.

I'm almost to the point of rooting for a Hornet comeback.

[SAtown]

Got damn it, I need those fantasy points.

I'm almost to the point of rooting for a Hornet comeback.

Only if D Brown is a big part of it

[VaSpursFan]

frankie with the aggressive dunk...me likey

[Goliadnative]

In case anyone in the DFW area cares, the game is on Fox Sports Southwest. Someone must have flipped the wrong switch.

[Solid D]

Wow, Cisco with the jam. This is like "open gym"!

[Spurs Brazil]

God damn, it also pisses me off to see Finley and Beno hit shots in this game. Hopefully those bitches can get on a fucking roll.

When you're up 20 it's easy to play. I can hit a shoot

ELSON DUNK

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Frankie doing what he does best :smokin

[Solid D]

Cisco......First day with his new hands

[ShoogarBear]

Tony still can't throw a lob.

Although that one wasn't horrible.

[midgetonadonkey]

I say they blow the lead in the 3rd.

[ShoogarBear]

Desmond Mason has the ugliest FT form in the L.

[MannyIsGod]

At this point, I just want them to come out in the 3rd and maintina the lead in the 20s or even expand it. I want the 4th quarter to be Butler watching time.

[SAtown]

Worst FT routine and release goes to ...... (drumroll)..... Desmond Mason. Worst than Anthony Mason's release, and that's pretty bad.

[ShoogarBear]

Worst FT routine and release goes to ...... (drumroll)..... Desmond Mason. Worst than Anthony Mason's release, and that's pretty bad.Less words gets you the first post. :smokin

[SAtown]

Haha, my bad.

[SequSpur]

Tark > Pop

[Spurs Brazil]

Is Butler active?

[MannyIsGod]

I believe he is. Perhaps not, though because Elson is back.

[ShoogarBear]

Tark > PopLloyd Daniels > Tony Parker

[ShoogarBear]

I do like this running shit.

[SequSpur]

lloyd daniels > Bonner, Vaugn, Beno, and Coyote

[ShoogarBear]

Goody! More Desmond Mason free throws coming up!

[Solid D]

Lloyd Daniels > Tony Parker

scissors>paper>rock

[MannyIsGod]

scissors>paper>rock:lol

[SequSpur]

Devin Brown > SA Spurs Players 6-12

[RashoFan]

Horry didn't help up Devin Brown??? :nope

[SAtown]

wtf haha

[midgetonadonkey]

wtf haha

[ShoogarBear]

Devin Brown > SA Spurs Players 6-12True.

[SAtown]

I'm no one to say shit about fashion or anything, but if PJ want's to be the head coach of the day, at least wear a nicer freaking jacket! He's got a blue one on with sparkles. Elton John ish

[SequSpur]

PJ is coaching his ass off tonight.

[ShoogarBear]

Better that than coaching his neck off.

[carina_gino20]

PJ is coaching his ass off tonight.

PJ reads Spurstalk.
:smokin

[SequSpur]

PJ is going to get his mock retired after tonight

[Solid D]

Why does Michael Finley have to hog all the end of quarter buzzer misses?

[SequSpur]

Why does Michael Finley have to hog all the end of quarter buzzer misses?

dude, they passed it to him with no time left and he had to shoot it quickly... damn, do you know what's it like when you have to shoot it quickly?

sometimes you miss the hole.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

damn


so how much credit do we give PJ?

Or is this just a simple matter of players somehow hitting their shots tonight?

[aaronstampler]

dude, they passed it to him with no time left and he had to shoot it quickly... damn, do you know what's it like when you have to shoot it quickly?

You make me giggle sometimes.

[SAtown]

dude, they passed it to him with no time left and he had to shoot it quickly... damn, do you know what's it like when you have to shoot it quickly?

sometimes you miss the hole.

Sometimes that's a safer option, if ya know what I mean :drunk

[Solid D]

Timmy needs to keep that ball high.

[SequSpur]

damn


so how much credit do we give PJ?

Or is this just a simple matter of players somehow hitting their shots tonight?

PJ gets all the credit, if Pop was in there, Beno would 0 for 5, 3 turnovers, getting used, Duncan getting used, Parker passing up shots, and Finley shooting airballs...

[MannyIsGod]

I have a bad feeling NO will be in this game in the fourth.

[Solid D]

Wow, Bowen with a lefty floater!!!! Where did that come from?

[MannyIsGod]

Wow, Bowen with a lefty floater!!!! Where did that come from?Good ball movement opens up the strangest things.

[SAtown]
