Win of the Year

[Rummpd]

Nuff Said and a team with a large set of big ones.

[Kori Ellis]

That was frickin sweet.

Props to Tim for keeping them in the whole game. Manu and Tony for not giving up, despite their awful starts. Manu's huge block on Kobe and Tony with big shots in the OT.

And especially, the big, big balla shots from Bowen and Finley.

[Chris]

Last two quarters were straight up classic. Kobe is clutch. Finley is nails!!!

[Texas_Ranger]

I'm glad that this game is over.

[trueD]

A little ugly, and possibly desperate...but NICE win Spurs!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The basketball gods were looking out for us after Kobe's cheap ass forearm to Manu.

[1Parker1]

That was frickin sweet.

And especially, the big, big balla shots from Bowen and Finley.


:tu More so than that, just their overall defensive effort towards the end of the 3rd and ALL of the 4th quarter was the best I've seen from them all season.

[Manu_The _Best]

That was frickin sweet.

Props to Tim for keeping them in the whole game. Manu and Tony for not giving up, despite their awful starts. Manu's huge block on Kobe and Tony with big shots in the OT.

And especially, the big, big balla shots from Bowen and Finley.

Agree! Great WIN to boost our confidence back and let even go for much more now and win ALL games on the road! Glad to see Michael Finley hitting this extremely important shot - and the good news is he has 2 good games in a row shooting well now...I guess, we have to take some of the crap back said against him, I certainly do, I hope he keeps it going though!!! Props to the whole team, but personally I think Manu's block on Kobe saved the game - Pop should've played Manu on Kobe from that point on - Bruce couldn't guard Kobe at all...Otherwise, the Spurs were NEVER in the Game until the 4th, but everyone's heroics helped for the win despite this crazy 29% FG shooting!!!
1 Down, 7 to go!!! :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap

GO SPURS!!!

[LA24]

The basketball gods were looking out for us after Kobe's cheap ass forearm to Manu.

You're an idiot if you think Kobe did that on purpose. :rolleyes

....nah...you're still an idiot...regardless.

[Dre_7]

:lmao @ those who hate it when Finley shoots everytime he has a shoot even when he is in a slump!

WISCONSIN IN DA HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!

[polandprzem]

This may be the spark

We will see how next game will go

[SsKSpurs21]

This may be the spark

We will see how next game will go

i sure hope so. this could very well be the beginning of a start to another special ending! :clap

http://www.hhweb.com/nba2005champs/SpursGroupFinals_small_small.jpg

[Ginofan]

Agreed.

Tim is definitely THE man. Props to Tony & Manu stepping up when we really needed it. The D in overtime I thought started out sloppy but the guys pulled it together in the end. (Thank goodness!)

Kobe is a phenomenal player, good grief he couldn't miss! He's looking to distribute the ball more often now and really turning out to be a great leader for his team. Big props to him.

[v2freak]

You're an idiot if you think Kobe did that on purpose. :rolleyes

....nah...you're still an idiot...regardless.

My natural reaction when getting my shot blocked is to go into a seizure too. But you can be damn sure that he knew he got away with a foul on Horry

[spurschick]

This win means everything. Period.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

You're an idiot if you think Kobe did that on purpose. :rolleyes

....nah...you're still an idiot...regardless.

And you're going on Ignore.

It was pretty fucking obvious Kobe did it on purpose. I've seen Kobe play quite a bit, never seen him spaz like a cunt like he did today when Menu owned him.

Fuck you.

[Ginofan]

And you're going on Ignore.

It was pretty fucking obvious Kobe did it on purpose. I've seen Kobe play quite a bit, never seen him spaz like a cunt like he did today when Menu owned him.

Fuck you.

I have serious doubts that Kobe did it on purpose. I'd have to see a few more replays of the incident to be sure, but Kobe has said how much he admires the way Manu plays and such...I don't think he would elbow him in the face if he thinks so highly of him.

[MannyIsGod]

Kobe definetly meant to swing out at Manu. That was not unintentional contact. No fucking way.

[bonesinaz]

Kobe is still a punk and now too an epileptic, it seems.

This is the best win in a while.

GO SPURS GO!!!!

[GrandeDavid]

Just got back home and am very happy to see that the Spurs won...and even happier to see that Fin hit the game winner. That is awesome! That kind of team play, never quit, role players stepping up in clutch situations is what this Rodeo Road Trip has been about over the past few years.

[bonesinaz]

I have serious doubts that Kobe did it on purpose. I'd have to see a few more replays of the incident to be sure, but Kobe has said how much he admires the way Manu plays and such...I don't think he would elbow him in the face if he thinks so highly of him.


Wake up from your dream son, Kobe is a PUNK.

Didn't stop Karl Malone!

Yeah, I see Kobe backhand people who roof him on his jumper all the time :rolleyes I mean, there's not a game that doesn't go by that Kobe doesn't wind up and deck some guy blocking his shot...

Kobe has said how much he loves his wife before, but that didn't stop him from going Captain Colorado on some hotel worker.

[Spurologist]

I have serious doubts that Kobe did it on purpose. I'd have to see a few more replays of the incident to be sure, but Kobe has said how much he admires the way Manu plays and such...I don't think he would elbow him in the face if he thinks so highly of him.

Here is the sequence.

Kobe receives the ball
Drives left
Pump fakes on Bowen, Bowen jumps toget a hand up and is erased from the play
Just as Kobe is about to shoot, Manu blocks his shot from behind.
After realizing he is in a helpless state, and his desire to get the ball, he conveniently, INTENTIONALLY elbows Manu in the face to get the ball back so can jack up another jumper before the clock runs out.

Watch it in fast mo, slow mo, the footage doesn't lie. That shit was intentional.

[GrandeDavid]

I didn't see the alleged swipe by Kobe at Manu, but if it serves to help toughen this team up or get it on edge, then I thank Kobe. More importantly, I'll take this fuggin road win on national tv any day. Nice start to the trip!

[Ginofan]

Yeah, I see Kobe backhand people who roof him on his jumper all the time :rolleyes I mean, there's not a game that doesn't go by that Kobe doesn't wind up and deck some guy blocking his shot...

Blah blah blah Colorado, is that all the Kobe haters have to come back with? Please.

AHF, I admit, I don't follow Laker games except when they play the Spurs, but go ahead and give me some recent examples of Kobe backhanding someone every game.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Um, I came with the fact what he did was a punk ass bitch move from a punk ass bitch. He was even taunting Horry about getting way with fouling him on his game winning shot attempt. Dude is a prick.

And as to the second part of your response, it's called sarcasm. That was my point, this is the first time ever Kobe has decked someone after they blocked his shot. Therefore, I'm going to argue that it wasn't an accident, as you claim.

Sorry that went over your head.

[Russ]

I . . .

WAS . . .

THERE . . .

First Lakers-Spurs game I've been to since Game Six in '03 (the "Crying Game")

This was sweet. Hopefully, I can post some pix.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I agree AGhoopsfan.

I believe Kobe reacted to getting stuffed by taking it out on Manu popping his glory shot.

He may respect Manu's game from afar, but on the court, the dude is a prick! He doesn't care who you are, he'll take any opportunity to taunt or prop himself up. And if you threaten his glory game. He'll be pissed. Whether you're an opponent or teammate! (Elbowing Sasha)

That said, when you get blocked, it's quite unnatural to take the forearm like he, did.

I think he got pissed he got owned and reacted sorely! The dude deserves his props for his play this year, but I'm not defending him for his cheap sportsmanship.

[GrandeDavid]

What I liked about this win is that the Spurs won a big game against a solid playoff team on national TV on the road. The Spurs overcame ice cold shooting and they made up for that in part by beating the Lakers big time on the boards. I like how a handful of guys made terrific contributions. Great win, indeed.

[Ginofan]

Sorry that went over your head.

Do you honestly think Horry got all up in arms about a former teammate and friend taunting him? I doubt it. Kobe tried to create contact on the shot when Manu blocked him, that's all there was to it.

[dallaskd]

oh hell ya. were going to the finals!

:flag:

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I liked how in the 4th there was a collective effort. Tony made sure we didn't LOSE OUR EDGE. hit some big shots. Manu was great in executing. The whole team did great though!

[GrandeDavid]

Why don't all of you stop whining and picking at each other over such a stupid non-incident. Is Manu bitching about it? I didn't even see it, didn't even see the game. But I'm pretty sure that the incident is being exaggerated. These are pro athletes, they are competitive, such happens. Maybe it got whistled, maybe not. But nobody got hurt and the Spurs got the fuckin win. I hope that EVERY team has a player which takes a non-injury threatening swipe at a Spur if it will get the Spurs on edge, fired up and will rally them.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Do you honestly think Horry got all up in arms about a former teammate and friend taunting him? I doubt it. Kobe tried to create contact on the shot when Manu blocked him, that's all there was to it.

I'm just saying, the guy is a prick on the court. Fuck. It's not some big revelation.

He was trying to create contact, after he had been blocked and the ball was away, by swinging wildly out to his side at the height of someone's head?

Oooooooooooooooooookay, whatever you say there, Ginofan :lol

[Kermit]

it looked pretty intentional to me.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Kobe taunting him was an ass move. It's funny. But still. HE FOULED HORRY !

[Cry Havoc]

Normally when I get blocked playing basketball, I throw my shooting arm out to the side and behind me as hard as possible. Don't ask me why I do it, cause you know, there's not really a point to it, but still.

/sarcasm

[bonesinaz]

GD-
The contact had Manu laid out and bleeding. It was a big deal when it happened because Manu had to get patched up and the bleeding stopped to play in overtime.

I do agree with you about this incident lighting a fire in the Spurs though. It is a great day when the Spurs can overcome a few bad calls and pull out a win....especially against the Lakers.

[Purple & Gold]

Big win by the Spurs. Too bad Spurs fans have such thin skin.

[joeyjfive]

This was a great win for us and it might be the re-birth if Finley. As for the Manu incident, I didnt pay much attention to it because I was jumping up and down like a mad man cuz Manu blocked the shot, I only saw it once but IMO I dont think it was intentional, but I will be looking at it some more.

[samikeyp]

Big win by the Spurs. Too bad Spurs fans have such thin skin.

Which explains why Spurs fans in this thread were defending Kobe. :rolleyes

Looks like that "thin skin" goes both ways.

[Purple & Gold]

Which explains why Spurs fans in this thread were defending Kobe. :rolleyes

Yeah banning all Laker fans sure shows how thick your guys skin is. :rolleyes

[Kermit]

perhaps laker fans were banned for being annoying pricks. just a thought.

[kinbenzoo]

i love you spurs
go spurs go

sorry kobe but we have timmy

[samikeyp]

Yeah banning all Laker fans sure shows how thick your guys skin is.

Now you are lying? Wow...its really thin.

You are a Laker fan, you are here...therefore ALL laker fans were not banned.

Do you often use ignorant, blanket statements for effect or do you actually believe all fans of a team think and act the same exact way?

[Purple & Gold]

Now you are lying? Wow...its really thin.

You are a Laker fan, you are here...therefore ALL laker fans were not banned.

Do you often use ignorant, blanket statements for effect or do you actually believe all fans of a team think and act the same exact way?
OK I'm lying. :rolleyes

[samikeyp]

Good....glad you admitted it.

That being said, it was a hell of a game from both teams. Kobe was MVP material, IMO in this game.

[spurschick]

Wake up from your dream son, Kobe is a PUNK.


:lol at the assumption that Ginofan is a guy.

[Purple & Gold]

perhaps laker fans were banned for being annoying pricks. just a thought.
Perhaps Spurs fans don't like it pointed out that they have the dirtiest player in the NBA.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yeah banning all Laker fans sure shows how thick your guys skin is. :rolleyes

If all Lakers fans were banned, how are you here posting, scrub?

[samikeyp]

Perhaps Spurs fans don't like it pointed out that they have the dirtiest player in the NBA.

who Kobe Bryant has said more than once is not dirty. So you know more than Kobe now?

[spurschick]

Perhaps Spurs fans don't like it pointed out that they have the dirtiest player in the NBA.

You think we haven't heard it before? :lol Please. That song is old.

[Kermit]

Perhaps Spurs fans don't like it pointed out that they have the dirtiest player in the NBA.

i believe kobe's actions in the game have at least merited him the honor of being the dirtiest player on the court today.

[Purple & Gold]

who Kobe Bryant has said more than once is not dirty. So you know more than Kobe now?
So you think what he did against the Knicks (and I can't remember the other team) is not dirty. The NBA sure thinks so.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Perhaps Spurs fans don't like it pointed out that they have the dirtiest player in the NBA.

Kobe doesn't think he is, and he actually plays against him. Unlike you. See ya chump.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

So you think what he did against the Knicks (and I can't remember the other team) is not dirty. The NBA sure thinks so.

Yeah, it's so dirty that Bowen was fined, suspended, and told if he ever did it again he'd be banned for life :lol

[Purple & Gold]

i believe kobe's actions in the game have at least merited him the honor of being the dirtiest player on the court today.
Dirtier than sticking your feet underneath a jumpshooter when he's in the air?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:dont

[Kermit]

So you think what he did against the Knicks (and I can't remember the other team) is not dirty. The NBA sure thinks so.

yeah, you're right but it's not like bowen tried to rape a knick or anything like that.

[carina_gino20]

wow! congratulations Spurs! (made me regret i didn't wake up at dawn to see the game :lol) This was a tough win on the road and it is definitely a welcome irony that our rebounds and FT shooting saved us. Props to the Spurs who didn't give up. :flag:

[Purple & Gold]

yeah, you're right but it's not like bowen tried to rape a knick or anything like that.
And what does that have to do with anything. Unless you were there you have no idea what happened.

[SAtown]

yeah, you're right but it's not like bowen tried to rape a knick or anything like that.

Get ready...

[spurschick]

Dirtier than sticking your feet underneath a jumpshooter when he's in the air?

That's probably a little less dirty than forcing a girl to have sex with you.

[samikeyp]

Unless you were there you have no idea what happened.

You are correct....


and neither do you.

[Purple & Gold]

The point is if you're gonna cry so much, please take a closer look at your own team. That's all.

[Purple & Gold]

That's probably a little less dirty than forcing a girl to have sex with you.
So you know that's what happened?

[Purple & Gold]

You are correct....


and neither do you.
I never said I did, but I'm not the one making statements like I know what happened.

[samikeyp]

So you know that's what happened?

Do you?

[Kermit]

The point is if you're gonna cry so much, please take a closer look at your own team. That's all.

next time a spur intentionaly elbows someone in the face after a missed shot, i will.

[spurschick]

So you know that's what happened?

No, but I'm pretty sure that he had sex with a woman that wasn't his wife. Are you going to defend that too?

[samikeyp]

The point is if you're gonna cry so much, please take a closer look at your own team. That's all.

You are the one doing the crying....

[Purple & Gold]

next time a spur intentionaly elbows someone in the face after a missed shot, i will.
Intentionally twisting ankles is way dirtier than clearing space. Anybody that's ever played basketball can tell you that.

[Purple & Gold]

No, but I'm pretty sure that he had sex with a woman that wasn't his wife. Are you going to defend that too?
That's his business. I'm not defending, I'm just not judging.

[samikeyp]

How do you know 100% for sure that Kobe was not being intentional when he popped Manu?

[Kermit]

clearing space? is that what they call a bruce lee move to the eye socket? next thing you know you'll be defending kobe's rap album.

[Purple & Gold]

How do you know 100% for sure that Kobe was not being intentional when he popped Manu?
I'm pretty sure he didn't. Of course I don't know for 100%. He did clear illegaly. But I do know for 100% that Bowen does try to injure players. I'm just pointing it out.

[samikeyp]

I'm pretty sure he didn't. Of course I don't know for 100%. He did clear illegaly. But I do know for 100% that Bowen does try to injure players. I'm just pointing it out.

Proof, please.

[Purple & Gold]

clearing space? is that what they call a bruce lee move to the eye socket? next thing you know you'll be defending kobe's rap album.
What do you call Bowen's sweep to the legs?

[samikeyp]

Proof, please.

[Purple & Gold]

Proof, please.
Who do you think I am Perry Mason.

Proof, please. :lol :lol

[spurschick]

That's his business. I'm not defending, I'm just not judging.

Let me take a moment to wipe the hypocrisy off of me. So you're to point fingers in some directions, but stay clear of others? Sorry, it doesn't work that way. I find that what happens off the court has a tendency to find it's way on the court. Kobe may say all of the right things, but leopards don't change their spots.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The point is if you're gonna cry so much, please take a closer look at your own team. That's all.

Again, Kobe said Bruce isn't dirty. So are you calling Kobe a liar?

[samikeyp]

Who do you think I am Perry Mason.

Proof, please.


so then you can't prove that you know 100% for a fact that Bruce Bowen is intentionally trying to hurt players?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'm pretty sure he didn't. Of course I don't know for 100%. He did clear illegaly. But I do know for 100% that Bowen does try to injure players. I'm just pointing it out.

I'd love to see you prove this one. The only thing intentional is that Bowen actually boxes out, which is a lost art in the NBA.

What's funny is you admit that Kobe intentionally did what he did, you just sound like you're arguing that he wasn't trying to give Manu a bloody nose.

When you INTENTIONALLY swing at someone, bad shit tends to happen.

[Kermit]

look, i can admit that bruce may have taken certain liberties with personal space issues. you however would eat kobe's feces and tell me it tastes like "lucky charms".

[Purple & Gold]

Again, Kobe said Bruce isn't dirty. So are you calling Kobe a liar?
I'll call him wrong. And if he lies I have no problem calling him a liar. So do you call Isiah and the Knicks organization liers? They seem to think he is a dirty player.

[samikeyp]

I'll call him wrong. And if he lies I have no problem calling him a liar. So do you call Isiah and the Knicks organization liers? They seem to think he is a dirty player

Kobe is wrong about an NBA player? You know more about the game of basketball than Kobe Bryant?

[Purple & Gold]

I'd love to see you prove this one. The only thing intentional is that Bowen actually boxes out, which is a lost art in the NBA.

What's funny is you admit that Kobe intentionally did what he did, you just sound like you're arguing that he wasn't trying to give Manu a bloody nose.

When you INTENTIONALLY swing at someone, bad shit tends to happen.
So I guess you only choose to see certain things. :rolleyes

[spurschick]

I'm pretty sure he didn't. Of course I don't know for 100%. He did clear illegaly. But I do know for 100% that Bowen does try to injure players. I'm just pointing it out.

You can't make this kind of statement without backing it up with proof. The NBA had it's own investigation and came up with nothing. Some of the best offensive players, Kobe included, have praised Bruce for his defense. Kobe has said that playing against Bruce challenges him and makes him a better player.

It was a good game. Spurs won. Lakers lost. Lakers have won 2 out of 3. Quit your bitching.

[samikeyp]

So do you call Isiah and the Knicks organization liers? They seem to think he is a dirty player

Isiah called for Bowen's leg to be broken....isn't that dirty too?

[Kermit]

I'll call him wrong. And if he lies I have no problem calling him a liar. So do you call Isiah and the Knicks organization liers? They seem to think he is a dirty player.

isiah also thought that if larry bird was black he be just an ordinary basketball player. the lesson here: isiah shouldn't think.

[1Parker1]

Way to find something to bitch about in one of the Spurs best wins in a while...:tu

[Purple & Gold]

Kobe is wrong about an NBA player? You know more about the game of basketball than Kobe Bryant?
Kobe is wrong about many things. The list is very long.

So what do you think about what Isiah said?

[samikeyp]

So I guess you only choose to see certain things.

But when you do it...its ok.

Damn, you are a liar and a coward.

[Purple & Gold]

You can't make this kind of statement without backing it up with proof. The NBA had it's own investigation and came up with nothing. Some of the best offensive players, Kobe included, have praised Bruce for his defense. Kobe has said that playing against Bruce challenges him and makes him a better player.

It was a good game. Spurs won. Lakers lost. Lakers have won 2 out of 3. Quit your bitching.
OK believe what you want to believe. :rolleyes

[samikeyp]

Kobe is wrong about many things. The list is very long.

So what do you think about what Isiah said?

I think it was Isiah being his usual self. I noticed you chose to ignore the comment he made about breaking Bruce's leg.

Coward.

[samikeyp]

OK believe what you want to believe.

and yet....still no proof.

[Purple & Gold]

But when you do it...its ok.

Damn, you are a liar and a coward.
Wow, way to jump to conclusions. You sure sound like a rational person. :lol

[spurschick]

OK believe what you want to believe. :rolleyes

Okay... you too. :rolleyes

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'll call him wrong. And if he lies I have no problem calling him a liar. So do you call Isiah and the Knicks organization liers? They seem to think he is a dirty player.

Isiah is a chump ass bitch. Did you ever watch Isiah play? Him and his teammates in Detroit did far worse than the shit you and him are bitching like little girls about Bowen doing, but that was just good physical basketball.

Isiah was just pissed because the shine was already starting to wear off his coaching acumen with the Knicks and there were already articles in the paper quoting management about him getting fired if his team didn't turn things around.

So when the shit hits the fan, it's easier for Isiah to play the victim card than own up to his shitty coaching in that game.

I mean come on, Francis didn't even blame Bowen for what happened. Just a pathetic ass coach who has fucked up everything he has ever touched involving a basketball team since he retired.

[samikeyp]

Wow, way to jump to conclusions. You sure sound like a rational person.

Im not the one who has made claims then been too cowardly to back them up.

[Purple & Gold]

I think it was Isiah being his usual self. I noticed you chose to ignore the comment he made about breaking Bruce's leg.

Coward.
Oh yeah you're not a coward at all. :rolleyes I'm sure you think you're a tough guy. :lol

Isiah is also an idiot. Doesn't mean Bowen didn't try to take out his players ankles.

[Purple & Gold]

and yet....still no proof.
Watch the tape tough guy. And he did it more than once.

[samikeyp]

Isiah is also an idiot. Doesn't mean Bowen didn't try to take out his players ankles.

Its very possible that Bowen was trying to do that....my point though still stands, you don't know 100% for sure. None of us do.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Isiah is also an idiot.

You should have stopped there.

Again, Steve Francis, when questioned by the media, said he didn't think what Bowen did was dirty.

Again, the NBA investigated it at the request of chump ass Isiah Thomas, and no fine or suspension was leveled against Bowen.

Moral of story? You're still a little bitch without a case.

[Purple & Gold]

Its very possible that Bowen was trying to do that....my point though still stands, you don't know 100% for sure. None of us do.
My point is before you cry and moan about how dirty Kobe is as a player, remember who the players on your team are. It's a little hypocritical.

[Purple & Gold]

Moral of story?
You guys are bitches for crying. :lol

[samikeyp]

My point is before you cry and moan about how dirty Kobe is as a player, remember who the players on your team are. It's a little hypocritical.

Again...more lies.

Not once did I say that Kobe's action was intentional, I even called him an MVP candidate.

Noticed you chose to ignore that.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

My point is before you cry and moan about how dirty Kobe is as a player, remember who the players on your team are. It's a little hypocritical.

Still waiting on that proof from the league, who investigated claims that Bowen was dirty, that you seem to think proves your point.


:sleep

[Kermit]

My point is before you cry and moan about how dirty Kobe is as a player, remember who the players on your team are. It's a little hypocritical.

players? so now you're accusing more that one spurs player of being dirty? lay off the pipe man.

[Purple & Gold]

Again...more lies.

Not once did I say that Kobe's action was intentional, I even called him an MVP candidate.

Noticed you chose to ignore that.
I'm not talking about you personally (if the shoe doesn't fit) I'm talking about the hypocritical posters.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

You guys are bitches for crying. :lol

:lol You're the one on a Spurs bulletin board crying about an injury a Knick received, trying to divert attention from the dirty play by your own player.

Try again.

[Purple & Gold]

Still waiting on that proof from the league, who investigated claims that Bowen was dirty, that you seem to think proves your point.


:sleep
But yet you guys think Kobe is guilty. Riiight.

What Bowen did is on tape.

[Purple & Gold]

:lol You're the one on a Spurs bulletin board crying about an injury a Knick received, trying to divert attention from the dirty play by your own player.

Try again.
I'm just pointing out that you guys are hypocrits. I have no problem calling out one of my own players. You seem to have that problem.

[Marcus Bryant]

Magic and Zeke used to fuck each other too.

[Purple & Gold]

players? so now you're accusing more that one spurs player of being dirty? lay off the pipe man.

My point is before you cry and moan about how dirty Kobe is as a player, remember who the players on your team are. It's a little hypocritical.

It's a Spurs forum. If you honesly think that we would take your side that Bowen is a dirty player and Kobe is a saint, you really are delusional.

We know who our players are. They don't have to fly back and forth for court dates because they "allegedly" raped someone and they don't hold press conferences admitting that they cheated on their wives.

By the way, Bowen has made all-defensive team and had been mentioned as a candidate for DPOY on more than one occasion. If he were really trying to hurt someone, he'd have been punished.

[Purple & Gold]

Magic and Zeke used to fuck each other too.
Marcus Bryant wishes he was invited.

[samikeyp]

What Bowen did is on tape.

But the tape does not prove 100% that he was being intentional. Unless one is in the locker room with Bowen or talking to him about it, it is impossible to determine 100% without a shadow of a doubt that he was intentionally trying to hurt someone. Theories and speculation can be drawn but 100% accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

I'm not saying Kobe is a saint. He has many flaws. I just think it's funny how evil he is, yet how great Bowen is. That's all.

...and you wish Kobe bent you over in Eagle, CO.

Take Marcus Bryant's cock out of your mouth.

Hey, if I am wrong....I will gladly admit it. You want a serious debate or do you want to be a dick?

Yes it has.

I never said that Kobe was evil. And I never said that Kobe intentionally hurt anyone on the court. But if you're going to come into this forum and attack a player with accusations, you'd better come with some proof. To keep saying "watch the tape" isn't enough. We've all watched the games and we see Bruce playing good D. So do a lot of the better players in the league, as I've already mentioned.

[Purple & Gold]

Ohhh, so now you wanna have a serious discussion? :lol

[samikeyp]

I don't think Kobe is evil. In fact I have always been a fan of his. In 2002 when LA knocked the Spurs out....there was a little kid in the SBC (now AT&T) who was crying because his team lost. Kobe saw that, went over to him and consoled him and told him not to give up. As far as his on court behavior, I have never had a issue with it.

I've never seen another player in the NBA stick their legs under a jumpshooter before. The proof I have is with my own eyes. Of course I havn't talked to Bowen, and I doubt he'd say the truth anyways. So if you want testimony you're not gonna get it.

[samikeyp]

I figured you were ready. :lol

Too bad your fellow fans arn't.

So your argument is that you're right and we're wrong?

that is a fair point and I can understand how non-Spur fans would say that. I think what Spurschick was talking about (and if I am wrong SC, let me know) is that you said "I know 100%" you weren't just making an accusations, you were presenting it as fact. If anyone presents something as fact, they should expect to be asked for proof and be ready for it. If I went to ClubLakers and dropped the "I know that Kobe did it on purpose" I would be called out for the same thing and rightfully so.

Are you serious? I can't believe a little kid would cry over the SPURS losing, a grown man I can understand. :angel :lol

That's kinda sweet of him. I've always said, Kobe off the court I may have issues with, but when he's on the court he's 100% competitor. He's always praised Ginobili and said he was the funnest player to watch. Before the game today he was praising Pop and Duncan for the way they've been able to be continously successful year after year. And he's always given props to Bowen adn defended him when asked about who the best is at defending him, etc.

[samikeyp]

Too bad your fellow fans arn't.

I think you will find for the most part, the fans here are pretty smart.

[Purple & Gold]

As I said before, good win for the Spurs. They played hard and deserved the win. I'm just here to let the hypocrits know what's up.

And we're right back to where we started... nowhere.

Have you seen the tape? Do you honestly think Bowen didn't intentionally do it?

[WalterBenitez]

You're an idiot if you think Kobe did that on purpose. :rolleyes

....nah...you're still an idiot...regardless.

Add me to your idiot's list :donkey

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

by Kobe being called "evil" in the basketball sense, he should consider it a compliment. He's like a supervillain.

[Purple & Gold]

And we're right back to where we started... nowhere.
Well I guess we will always disagree. That's your prerogative.

[spurschick]

Have you seen the tape? Do you honestly think Bowen didn't intentionally do it?

That's correct. I do not think that Bowen intentionally trys to hurt other players.

[Kermit]

well thank you for being the beacon of truth and justice.

[Purple & Gold]

That's correct. I do not think that Bowen intentionally trys to hurt other players.
And I think he did. We can agree to disagree.

For just an instant I think that refs would call foul because Manu's nose touched Kobe's elobw :dizzy

[SAtown]

:cry :yield Bye bye.

[cornbread]

Perhaps Spurs fans don't like it pointed out that they have the dirtiest player in the NBA.

Kobe has said that Bruce is not dirty and he really respects his game. But hey, your opinion is the one that matters.

[mardigan]

I love brand new posters that come in here and lay the smack down, I guess we have all been wrong all this time about Bruce, because purple and gold set us straight

[WalterBenitez]

Well Spurs fans it was nice talking to you. Next time try not to be so hypocritical.
Talking to your mirror, rigth? :dramaquee

So, because you say it's so, it's so?

And yet the mighty NBA, with all its resources, and its bias towards protecting the offensive players, investigated the matter and concluded it wasn't intentional.

Maybe you need to go apply for a job at NBA headquarters.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

So who are the hypocrites? You're the one telling us to be open minded and look at our own team, yet you tell us that Kobe's a saint and that you know 100% that Bowen isn't.

You're the biggest hypocrite in this entire fucking thread.

[pjjrfan]

It's a big win that's for sure. As for KObe's hit on Manu, those things happen, Kobe did drop his hand back to initiate contact, probably looking for a foul, it just hit in a bad place for Manu, but it's not like no one else does it. I personally think KObe gets away with a lot, but in this case, it was just a dumb move by KObe he should have been called for a foul, but like always, when it comes to KObe and other so called superstars, the refs chose not to.

[zero signal]

Damn, it's 2004 all over again in here :lol

yeah! i was thinking the same! good times :lol

Spurs and Laker fans going at it.

Awwww.....good times.

Yeah. It's nice being the only elite team left of the two. :p:

Anyone have a vid of that incredibly violent elbow smas... er, follow through?

[Rummpd]

Dang my first post in awhile and look at all the hate and love above. Now Spurs got to get the hat trick by taking Utah and Suns then we will be on the way!

[cheguevara]

It's pretty sad that this is the biggest win of the year, beating the Fakers by 2. I'd call the one when we came back to the rockets bigger. But still, not good enough.

[xamila rey]

suns and mavs lost against the lakers this seasson.

[bdictjames]

If only we were 3 more points ahead, I would have still won my vbookie and completed my day.

[cheguevara]

Free tacos? fuckign lakers are cheap bastards, here they give free large pizzas for shit like that

[z0sa]

Hopefuly this win gets us rolling for the roadtrip.

[LakeShow]

Nuff Said and a team with a large set of big ones.

:lol :lol :lol :lol That's the same thing charlotte and Memphis said when they beat a depleted Lakers team. Biggest win of the year! :lol :lol

Good game, You got one! The lakers should have never let you back in it. Spurs pulled it out. Congrats!

[Medvedenko]

Yes a good game...actually a horrible game come to think about it. We had our chances on the line, and missing all those freebies came back to haunt us. Still, we had our chances in OT. Big shot by Findog, lucky I say, but at least he showed balls down the stretch and let it fly.
