Spurs vs. Suns Feb. 1 -- Game Blog

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Manu's working on another one of those 40+ games against the Suns.

[MannyIsGod]

Pulling the chair!!!

[Spurologist]

Damn TP/Manu both on fire.

[MannyIsGod]

Nash is good.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Wow, great coaching by D'Asani.

"Let's go."

"C'mon, let's go."

"C'mon, we gotta go."

I was expecting him to say "it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game"

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Nash > Udrih

[SuperManu!!!]

Manu should be traded to the suns....he always like to play with the suns

[ducks]

duncan needs to start making more shots

[MannyIsGod]

OMG how did that ball come out.

[SuperManu!!!]

Nash > Udrih

Dahhh, really? :donkey

[davemaniscool]

does Nash ever miss. keep pushing it. make Phoenix play some semblance of defense.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

And Bowen bricks another one :yawn

[TDMVPDPOY]

could duncan go for quad-double? :D

his of to a good start besides fg % :( , but 4caroms on these sons is good enough...gotto increase those bpg

[MannyIsGod]

Oberto is sooooooooo slow.

[01Snake]

God Oberto sux

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Nash > Udrih

You're smart.

[VaSpursFan]

we held the lead without TD...go Spurs

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i can't believe i actually wanted oberto in the game for once

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn, two straight trips, two straight Bowen bricks. Fucking leave it in Ginobili's hands.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I think both Manu and Tony are held back by the geezer Teammates.

They're so fun to watch when they play the suns

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Nash is good.

Beno Udrih is kinda like the Bizarro world version of Steve Nash in a way

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf are they out rebounding us :(

[ChumpDumper]

we held the lead without TD...go SpursStill four seconds left. PHX could run six plays in that time.

[Nero]

Remember when we used to dominate the Suns on the glass?

Rebounds: Suns 22 Spurs 16 :bang

[angel_luv]

Kiwi sighting. :)

[JMarkJohns]

I hate that I have to get up early tommorow. Damn it! Anyways, looks like the makings of a good game. Wish I could finish it. Oh well...

If you win, congrats. You're running with the Suns, but still playing a smart gameplan.

Hope the Suns finally pull one out. They should. They have no reason not to, other than the Spurs just beating them. Thus far, San Antonio's played better on both ends, but it's still just a three-point lead for San Antonio.

Anyways, I'm rambling and saying nothing that's new to any whom have watched.

Again, congrats if you win, "in yo' face" if you don't :)

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pop damnit. Manu is on fire so you have him fucking inbound it? :pctoss

[VaSpursFan]

Still four seconds left. PHX could run six plays in that time.

:lol :lol :lol

[ducks]

tp has the second most rebounds
only duncan has more
FUCKING SAD

[VaSpursFan]

Pop damnit. Manu is on fire so you have him fucking inbound it? :pctoss

tony is hot too...not a horrible play called

[Amuseddaysleeper]

haha barkley didn't waste any time

[MannyIsGod]

This team may not be as talented as they have been in the past, but I think they are starting to show they have a good deal of heart. More heart than I initially gave them credit for. Heart > Talent.


:lmao @ Barkley. We all knew that was coming.

[cornbread]

Ginobili!!!

[VaSpursFan]

tp has the second most rebounds
only duncan has more
FUCKING SAD

we have no significant rebounder outside of tim

[angel_luv]

Manu: " We believe" :) :elephant

Charles Barkley " Ginooooooooooooobili!" :elephant

[MannyIsGod]

The rebounding doesn't really matter. Neither team is missing.

[RonMexico]

Ginobili for the Kevin Durant treatment - he'll outscore the Suns in the 2nd half.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Manu: " We believe" :) :elephant

I love it when he said "We are in great need of wins". He's the best.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

tony is hot too...not a horrible play called

I can pretty much count the number of turnaround jumpers Tony has ever made with one finger. Weak play call.



:lol @ Barkley. "Ginoooooooobili"

[MannyIsGod]

Not too mention with all the jumpshots and fast breaks the guards are going to get more boards.

[boutons_]

Magic has trouble with English language :lol

[carina_gino20]

there. manu said it. We Believe

[VaSpursFan]

barkley is a great analyst...i love his insight

[RonMexico]

I'm not being a bitch, but Duncan can't claim a clear-out when he slaps down on Amare.

With Amare and Duncan both surprised at that Bavetta foul call, it just looked like the November game all over again where Amare fouled out with like 15 minutes of game time.

[Xylus]

Damn, I really wish we had Kurt Thomas out there defending Tim Duncan...

And I really wish D'Antoni would stop making Nash guard Parker. Marion should be guarding Parker. Nash should be guarding Bowen.

Oh, and where the fuck did Raja Bell go? I haven't heard a peep from him.

[timvp]

So far, so good. The Suns are going to a have a couple of runs in the second half. As long as the Spurs can withstand those runs and stay out of foul trouble, I like their chances.

[VaSpursFan]

Magic has trouble with English language :lol

the sad thing is, he has improved. i still can't believe he had a talk show once :lol

[MannyIsGod]

The officiating has been fine so far. TD has 3 fouls and I'm not complaining. WTF are you bitching about?

[RonMexico]

Both teams need this win - Ginobili, Duncan, Nash, and Barbosa seem to be the only ones that realize that.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

haha, Barkley... even Magic

[Kori Ellis]

Both teams need this win - Ginobili, Duncan, Nash, and Barbosa seem to be the only ones that realize that.

:wtf What about Parker?

[fred33]

parker play great

[boutons_]

Worst stat for Spurs at half is -6 RBs.

Well, actually Tim's 4 - 11 is just as bad.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Oh, and where the fuck did Raja Bell go? I haven't heard a peep from him.He's afraid of Manu.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

oh my god did anyone else notice Oberto trotting at a ginger pace back on defense when there were 4 seconds left, leading to him fouling the man with the ball?

what a suck
ass
bitch

[MannyIsGod]

Both teams need this win - Ginobili, Duncan, Nash, and Barbosa seem to be the only ones that realize that.:lol I guess Parker is going off just for fun then.

[MannyIsGod]

CBF, the sad thing is he was running as hard as he can. :(

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Did Manu's nose get bigger ?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol I guess Parker is going off just for fun then.
I think Parker is riding off his high after being picked for his second All-star year.

[Xylus]

Tim might not be shooting well, but his four monstrous blocks on Stoudemire and Marion have had a profound effect. 2 years ago, Stoudemire would have leapt high enough to avoid a Duncan block, but he just doesn't have that same lift.

[RonMexico]

The officiating has been fine so far. TD has 3 fouls and I'm not complaining. WTF are you bitching about?

I complained like hours ago at the 10 min. mark in the second - you've just brought it up on every page. I don't know how me upset about Amare's foul is any different than you complaining about the Elson block.

Duncan earned each of those fouls and each of those blocks. When he tried to go Dirk and slap down, he got whistled (just how Amare got his first), but when he was going up top for the blocks, it was clean.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

CBF, the sad thing is he was running as hard as he can. :(


if that is the truth then i think its safe to call Fabricio Oberto the worst starter in NBA history

that was damn awfully pathetic


he did gain a little bit of more speed but it was too late, leading to him bumping the ball handler

[Amare_32]

Damn, I really wish we had Kurt Thomas out there defending Tim Duncan...

And I really wish D'Antoni would stop making Nash guard Parker. Marion should be guarding Parker. Nash should be guarding Bowen.

Oh, and where the fuck did Raja Bell go? I haven't heard a peep from him.

They have the same amount of points and Nash has 6 assists to Parker's 2. I say that matchup is pretty even.

[Kori Ellis]

CBF, the sad thing is he was running as hard as he can. :(

:lol That's what I was going to say. When Oberto replaced Tim when Timmy got his 3rd. I was like, Oh Hell No - Oberto can't keep up with the Spurs small lineup (or the Suns).

[boutons_]

Spurs have 4 players at the half in 2bl figs. Tim got nothing in the 2nd qtr.

[BeerIsGood!]

Damn, I really wish we had Kurt Thomas out there defending Tim Duncan...

And I really wish D'Antoni would stop making Nash guard Parker. Marion should be guarding Parker. Nash should be guarding Bowen.

Oh, and where the fuck did Raja Bell go? I haven't heard a peep from him.

Marion can't guard TP. He'd pick up fouls and have to work too hard defensively which takes him out of games easily. He's one of the streakiest players in the game, and if you make him work defensively he isn't as explosive in the 2nd half.

[CubanMustGo]

Worst stat for Spurs at half is -6 RBs.

Well, actually Tim's 4 - 11 is just as bad.

The 14-4 FT disparity and 3 PFs on TD is also a concern. 4 FTs on 44 shots ??

[Marcus Bryant]

Phoenix is just like Orlando. A lot of talent has come their way...and left with no rings.

[Amare_32]

Tim might not be shooting well, but his four monstrous blocks on Stoudemire and Marion have had a profound effect. 2 years ago, Stoudemire would have leapt high enough to avoid a Duncan block, but he just doesn't have that same lift.

They have been off for 3 days give them time to get thier legs.

[RonMexico]

:lol I guess Parker is going off just for fun then.

I don't acknowledge the French... I guess because ours has decided to be a pussy.

[VaSpursFan]

Spurs have 4 players at the half in 2bl figs. Tim got nothing in the 2nd qtr.
Timmy played great D in the second and we rode TP and gino's hot hands....i can live with that.

[Xylus]

Marion can't guard TP. He'd pick up fouls and have to work too hard defensively which takes him out of games easily. He's one of the streakiest players in the game, and if you make him work defensively he isn't as explosive in the 2nd half.
Absolute bullshit.

Marion always picks up the defensive assignments on point guards that Nash has trouble defending, and he usually does a fantastic job of preventing that point guard from going off.

Marion isn't streaky at all, and I've never seen his defensive effort affect his offensive effort.

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah, Diaw is a bitch man.

[RonMexico]

The 14-4 FT disparity and 3 PFs on TD is also a concern. 4 FTs on 44 shots ??

You guys took a lot of jumpers and Duncan had a bunch of point-blank shots where the Suns just gave up on defense. When Ginobili drives past everyone and gets uncontested layups.

[angel_luv]

Charles cracks me up. :lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Phoenix is just like Orlando. A lot of talent has come their way...and left with no rings.

What do you expect with D'Antoni's brilliant coaching?

" Come on. Let's go. Come on. Get going. Let's Go. Right Here. Come on. Let's Go."

:lmao

[Kori Ellis]

I don't acknowledge the French... I guess because ours has decided to be a pussy.

Tony has an American dad, Dutch mom and was born in Belgium. Show him some respect. :lol

[SpursFanInAustin]

Great game this first half. And yes Ron Mexico.....I expected the game to turn out this way thus far. We ain't no Eastern Conference team.

It's gonna be a great second half.

[Kori Ellis]

What do you expect with D'Antoni's brilliant coaching?

" Come on. Let's go. Come on. Get going. Let's Go. Right Here. Come on. Let's Go."

:lmao

:lmao I was dying laughing at that. I said to LJ, "Is he just a cheerleader?"

[VaSpursFan]

They have been off for 3 days give them time to get thier legs.

this is a lame excuse

[lefty]

What do you expect with D'Antoni's brilliant coaching?

" Come on. Let's go. Come on. Get going. Let's Go. Right Here. Come on. Let's Go."

:lmao
:lol :lol

[RonMexico]

Diaw was the one who played well in the winter game against SA last year. I don't know why he hasn't shown up. It's like the Suns are so jittery out there with the Diaw travels, that Nash "And-1 Mixtape" move, Marion rushing his shots, Amare tried to go straight up and get blocked by Duncan... it's like they're 8th graders playing the high school state champs.

[SpursFanInAustin]

They have the same amount of points and Nash has 6 assists to Parker's 2. I say that matchup is pretty even.

Well this usually happens when these two teams play. Nash scores about 20 on us, and Parker scores 20 himself......thus Parker cancels out Nash and tilts the favor to the Spurs ;)

[RonMexico]

Tony has an American dad, Dutch mom and was born in Belgium. Show him some respect. :lol

I know - I'd just prefer Diaw's mom at his point - she'd probably control the paint better and turn it over less.

[Amare_32]

I wonder if all the talk about them being winless against the Spurs,Mavs,Lakers and Utah is wearing on them mentally.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lmao I was dying laughing at that. I said to LJ, "Is he just a cheerleader?"

Tell me about it. No wonder Team USA sucked.

[BeerIsGood!]

Absolute bullshit.

Marion always picks up the defensive assignments on point guards that Nash has trouble defending, and he usually does a fantastic job of preventing that point guard from going off.

Marion isn't streaky at all, and I've never seen his defensive effort affect his offensive effort.

He wouldn't be guarding just any PG in the NBA... TP is going to the all star game for one reason - he's a fast, quick, finishing mofo. He'd blow by Marion.

Marion is streaky. He either goes off big or disappears, and it usually depends on how he starts. I'm sure he's defended PG in the past, but this isn't the same.

Also, just because you disagree doesn't mean you have to put "Absolute Bullshit". Show some couth and realize your opinion isn't fact.

[Kori Ellis]

I know - I'd just prefer Diaw's mom at his point - she'd probably control the paint better and turn it over less.

:lol

Did he ever disclose how he possibly gained so much weight this summer? I know he slimmed down now, but he had really ballooned. Did he not work out at all?

[Amare_32]

I know - I'd just prefer Diaw's mom at his point - she'd probably control the paint better and turn it over less.


:lol

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Is it just me or is Amare Stoudemire not even scary anymore?

[RonMexico]

Ok, MannyIsGod - I rewound it and Elson looks like he was out of the circle, but tried to establish position a little too late.

[ChumpDumper]

Is it just me or is Amare Stoudemire not even scary anymore?Sill looms though. Just doesn't go like coach tells him to.

[Trainwreck2100]

That is all

[Amare_32]

The Suns should look into getting a defensive minded point guard. Like Miami does with Williams/Payton.

[ChumpDumper]

The Suns should look into getting a defensive minded point guard. Like Miami does with Williams/Payton.Beno plays Suns-level defense right now.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Sill looms though. Just doesn't go like coach tells him to.


Who started the "Amare Looms" thing?

He doesn't scare me anymore whatsoever, its all Nash givin him easy baskets. I mean his baskets were easy when he was good but he's no longer an athletic freak, and that was what made him good.

Shoot those jumpshots Amare. Shoot them all game.

[RonMexico]

:lol

Did he ever disclose how he possibly gained so much weight this summer? I know he slimmed down now, but he had really ballooned. Did he not work out at all?

Ate every food in France and hung out in the Riviera in anticipation of his huge contract he would sign with the Suns... haha

Amare32, I think that this "they haven't beat the elite yet" is probably in the back of their minds and they're trying to force things too much or pause on open jumpers (except James Jones - he seemed to pull the trigger confidently).

Suns are lucky they were active on the boards and forced about as many TO's as they gave up.

[SpursFanInAustin]

Sill looms though. Just doesn't go like coach tells him to.


:lol :lmao

[MannyIsGod]

He's not going to be the dominant big man he seemed on course to be before the surgery. Its a shame, really.

[Marcus Bryant]

Duncan busted his knee and still dominates. Maybe Amare needs a pushup contest...

[BeerIsGood!]

Beno plays Suns-level defense right now.

Which wouldn't be bad if he also played Suns-level offense.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Do yall think LJ's Amare retire prediction still have a possibility?

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

What were they Congratulating Doug Collins for?

[spyder]

come on spurs

[RonMexico]

Amare has been playing like shit the past few games... I don't know if he's out of rhythm or hitting an endurance skid because of last year's absence. About 2 weeks ago, he was hitting the boards hard and making quick moves around the basket. I expected a lot more out of him today with the amount of rest they got, but he seems to be lazily settling for jumpers when he doesn't get the quck feeds from Nash.

[ShoogarBear]

How did Oberto miss that rebound?

[VaSpursFan]

TP still hot drains the jumper

[Spurologist]

WTF Bowen. Make an open shto

[spyder]

dang it bowen

[MannyIsGod]

I'll never understand how Marion makes shots with the way he shoots.

[Trainwreck2100]

perhaps a map is needed

[Nero]

I *hate* Tim's bank shot. For Christ's sake, I wish he would go for a straight basket. I'm sure it would be better.

[RonMexico]

Duncan busted his knee and still dominates. Maybe Amare needs a pushup contest...

Besides the push-up jab (c'mon that was a regular season game 2 years ago...), I've said that Amare needs to develop a Duncan game of midrange jumpers and intelligent use of the backboard.

[MannyIsGod]

Barbosa is the most cherry picking motherfucker of all time.

[Amare_32]

Amare has been playing like shit the past few games... I don't know if he's out of rhythm or hitting an endurance skid because of last year's absence. About 2 weeks ago, he was hitting the boards hard and making quick moves around the basket. I expected a lot more out of him today with the amount of rest they got, but he seems to be lazily settling for jumpers when he doesn't get the quck feeds from Nash.

Keep mind he has not played this much in 2 years. I think is just a rough patch he is hitting. You try coming back from 2 knee surgeries and get used to playing 82 games plus his backup Thomas is also out.

[Trainwreck2100]

Besides the push-up jab (c'mon that was a regular season game 2 years ago...), I've said that Amare needs to develop a Duncan game of midrange jumpers and intelligent use of the backboard.


He didnt' play all last year so that's four less chances of doing something stupid.

[01Snake]

Fucking Oberto BLOWS!

[MannyIsGod]

Oberto is killing us.

[carina_gino20]

aww. 3 fouls on tony?

[davemaniscool]

Oberto's slow and his passes are even slower.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Why don't we just rest Oberto, and play 4 on 5, to at least give our players more room to operate

i dont see the point in ever playing him
ever

[ShoogarBear]

Having Oberto and Bowen on the court at the same time = poison.

[Marcus Bryant]

Besides the push-up jab (c'mon that was a regular season game 2 years ago...), I've said that Amare needs to develop a Duncan game of midrange jumpers and intelligent use of the backboard.

Lesson: never try to show up the Spurs. Otherwise you end up with microfracture surgery or assraping a chick in Colorado.

[01Snake]

Oberto is killing us.


How in the hell did he end up with the Spurs. He sucks!

[Zarko]

how can our cupboard be so bare after the big 3???

[MannyIsGod]

WTF Barry? You thorw the TO and then you can't get back?

[01Snake]

Fucking careless!

[Fillmoe]

is anyone guarding barbosa?

[hitmanyr2k]

Wow man...Gino was waving for the ball on a damn island :lol

[cornbread]

Freakin Barbosa. He's killing us.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Keep mind he has not played this much in 2 years. I think is just a rough patch he is hitting. You try coming back from 2 knee surgeries and get used to playing 82 games plus his backup Thomas is also out.
excuses excuse man, that didnt stop td from comin back from knee surgery to win b2b mvps, 2 rings, etc

tims C.V > suns players combine CV

[Leetonidas]

Damn Barbosa is fucking FAST

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Oberto is quickly regressing to Beno Udrih status

[BeerIsGood!]

Looks like halftime messed them up... don't know why Gino didn't get the ball starting the 2nd half

[Amuseddaysleeper]

daaaamn

fuck

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

you disappoint Manu on the bench!

[Nero]

Rebounding Watch
Suns 28 Spurs 20
This is embarrassing.

[VaSpursFan]

fuckin barry forces the pass...barbosa leaks out as he's been doing all night. whoever guarding him has to get back when he takes off

[cornbread]

WTF Barry? You thorw the TO and then you can't get back?

I see bench in his future.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Having Oberto and Bowen on the court at the same time = poison.

We've got Oberto, Bowen, AND Barry out there :madrun

[Amare_32]

Fucking refs were is the foul on Duncan!

[MannyIsGod]

Right now the supporting cast is just murdering us. The Big 3 are getting it done, but god damn there's a HUGE drop off after that.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

WTF Barry? You thorw the TO and then you can't get back?

Yeah that was fucking pathetic.

[fred33]

tim duncan is bad

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Looks like halftime messed them up... don't know why Gino didn't get the ball starting the 2nd half

Look who's the coach.

[Texas_Ranger]

first oberto now barry.

[lefty]

Barry and Oberto WTF??????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????? :bang :bang :bang :bang

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

How many people here besides me would trade Beno and Oberto for a 3rd round draft pick?

[dbreiden83080]

fatigue is setting in this is going to get BAD.

[MannyIsGod]

Oberto is simpmly brutal.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I wish we had Austin Croshere or another quality bench player like that [/lol]

[Spurologist]

Too many missed oppotunities for the spurs. Missed OPEN shots and turnovers against Phoenix will run you out of the building every time.

:pctoss

[VaSpursFan]

barry has to go to the bench...he's fucking up...oberto too

[ctermu]

Fucking Oberto BLOWS!
Is Oberto on the floor? You wouldn't even notice.

When Bowen got that steal and it was passed back to Parker, Oberto had Nash on him without anyone really around him and he didn't even post up or try to take advantage.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

spurs pick and choose amongst expiring contracts and cheap players meanwhile mavs go and get an aging expiring contract of their own and he drops 29 against the sonics

[MannyIsGod]

Alright, 5 point game. Hopefully the TO settled them down.

[Texas_Ranger]

oberto should go back to europe.

[01Snake]

How many people here besides me would trade Beno and Oberto for a 3rd round draft pick?

I'd trade them both for Jack Haley

[VaSpursFan]

hello small ball

[ChumpDumper]

There will be reports of the Spurs inquiring about Keith Van Horn and/or Greg Ostertag in the coming months.

Book it.

[MannyIsGod]

Well if Amare is going to hit jumprs....

[BeerIsGood!]

We have 3 all stars surrounded by 8 guys who probably shouldn't be in the NBA anymore

[ctermu]

Doesn't anyone get back on defense?

[VaSpursFan]

are you fucking kidding me...we look like fried ass in this quarter

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Refs prevent the game from spiralling out of control.

[MannyIsGod]

:lol

The Suns got jobbed

[Don Quixote]

Well, the Spurs are getting spanked in the 3rd quarter again. Actually, this is how I thought the game would go from the beginning.

So, do we give the Spurs credit for hanging in for a half?

[davemaniscool]

how does Nash get 2 personal fouls. He's never close enough to d' anyone up.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

What channel?

[cornbread]

What channel?
TNT

[BeerIsGood!]

TP goes right at Marion and gets the foul. I wonder who would have seen that coming?

[MannyIsGod]

There we go. We need to get back to the pentetration and scoring in the lane we had in the first half. If we do that and cut the TOs we'll be fine. A suns 5 point lead is jack shit.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Thanks, cornbread.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Man the role players all suck ass. They could blindly pick 5 people from here on the board to go play with the big three, and it'd be about the same.

[Spurologist]

Can't question tp's stroke at the line anymore

[TDMVPDPOY]

i stop followin this game

wtf arent they givin the ball to gino, fuck tp ...fuck this im off...enjoy the loss at the expense of oberto

[davemaniscool]

Everyone picks Nash to win MVP. That award should go to someone who at least attempts some defense. How are you valuable to the team when your opponent scores as much as you do.

[01Snake]

Way to go baby!!

[VaSpursFan]

Pop...manu and TP are hot...ride the hot hands you dip shit

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The 'stache is PMSing.

[ShoogarBear]

Time for some more "coaching" by D'Antoni.

[Leetonidas]

Spurs showing a lot of will and determination.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

I approve this lineup :tu

[ChumpDumper]

Did you see D'Antoni yelling "Why don't they GO?????"

[BeerIsGood!]

Who gets us back in the game - 3 all stars. With any kind of supporting talent this team would be a juggernaut

[MannyIsGod]

There we go. Its just like LJ said at the half, weather the runs. The Suns score at fast torrid paces, but then they turn around and give it up just as quickly.

Oh, and please for the love of god do not play Oberto anymore.

[cornbread]

i stop followin this game

wtf arent they givin the ball to gino, fuck tp ...fuck this im off...enjoy the loss at the expense of oberto

Start watching again. We're only down by one.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pop...manu and TP are hot...ride the hot hands you dip shit

Nah, he will have one or both on the bench when they come back from commercial :lol

[Nero]

We have 3 all stars surrounded by 8 guys who probably shouldn't be in the NBA anymore

Barry is still a quality bench player.

[hitmanyr2k]

You can tell Parker and Ginobili are really having fun with this pace. The other Spurs are like fuck man slow down!! :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Who gets us back in the game - 3 all stars. With any kind of supporting talent this team would be a juggernaut:(

[themvp]

:lmao @ D'Antoni

[ChumpDumper]

Well, the Spurs are getting spanked in the 3rd quarter again. Actually, this is how I thought the game would go from the beginning.

So, do we give the Spurs credit for hanging in for a half?Did you think this was how things would go after you posted?

I think Barry is playing good, even though he's made some uncharacteristic bad passes, he's still playing best of our role players by far.

Go Tony! Go Mantu! just play a two man game!

[ShoogarBear]

Who gets us back in the game - 3 all stars. With any kind of supporting talent this team would be a juggernautGot damn, if the Spurs just had one pair of capable young legs in the frontcourt.

[nkdlunch]

quote of the year...this should be plastered in the Spurs FO

[Clutch20]

You can tell Parker and Ginobili are really having fun with this pace. The other Spurs are like fuck man slow down!! :lol

Too funny, that!

[MannyIsGod]

Dodged a bullet there. Finley fell asleep on D

[resistanze]

Championship caliber team on crack. From what I've seen in the 8 Spurs games I've watched :lol

[boutons_]

If Tim can get his scoring going, 4 - 13, Spurs will be in trouble.

[MannyIsGod]

Shit offensive possession

[ctermu]

Do you guys think that no one else contributes because the Big 3 are just trying to do it on their own? Nobody else tries to shoot unless they're in their "spots." Maybe the other 8 are just used to the Big 3 trying to do most of the scoring, so they don't try to contribute as much.

[MannyIsGod]

Fuck. Beno.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Son of a bitch our role players are old.

Fuck Pop. Fuck RC. Fuck Peter.

[VaSpursFan]

oh shit...beno in the game

[MannyIsGod]

Nice effort by Elson. I want to see more of that.

[Marcus Bryant]

Come on Beno fuck that bitch.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

.................................................. ........beno...................................... ......................

[davemaniscool]

Dodged a bullet there. Finley fell asleep on D

more like a coma

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan is really playing a bit passive here.

[01Snake]

Fucking stupid!

[MannyIsGod]

OMG WTF TIM??!?!?!?

Tim needs to take that shot.

[Marcus Bryant]

Fuck man get Timmy some help up front. Fuck you Pete.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

You're rationalizing.

The Big Three are trying to do it all because they don't have faith in anyone else on the team. And who can blame them.

[VaSpursFan]

timmy has a brain fart...why would he pass to elson?

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

At what point does Udrih just stop firing up shots?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

omg COLLECTIVE SPURSTALK QUESTION has our bench ever looked so feeble in the modern spurs era???? I dont ever recall seeing such a horrible bench performance EVER

[Amare_32]

Is a loose ball! Is a loose ball! :lol

[Timmy!]

how can they call 3 secs w/ a loose ball in the key?

[ShoogarBear]

Do you guys think that no one else contributes because the Big 3 are just trying to do it on their own? Nobody else tries to shoot unless they're in their "spots." Maybe the other 8 are just used to the Big 3 trying to do most of the scoring, so they don't try to contribute as much.No, nobody else contributes because night after night everyone outside the Big 3 generally sucks on offense.

[hitmanyr2k]

Get a fuckin rebound...damn!!!

[resistanze]

Horrible rebounding

[VaSpursFan]

beno...is useless

[Horry For 3!]

Marion is owning Timmy on the glass, WTF

[cornbread]

Rebounds. Rebounds. Rebounds.

[Leetonidas]

Tim Duncan is really starting to piss me off. He hasn't done shit since the first quarter.

[MannyIsGod]

Man, the Suns are playing with far more energy right now.

I wonder if playing last night is catching up with the Spurs.

[BeerIsGood!]

Oh man, if the role players can't make wide open shots they're getting now... I can't imagine them trying to shoot off the dribble or take people 1 on 1.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This is what it's come to - I just got a little bit fired up seeing Elson hustle for a loose ball... that a quicker Suns player beat him to :pctoss

[Marcus Bryant]

Jacque Vaughn? It's over.

[MannyIsGod]

Great pass from Manu

[Horry For 3!]

Hell of a pass by Manu

[Spurologist]

Every fucking time Beno sees minutes, the other team goes on a run.

Don't you get it POP.

[lefty]

Suns should be up by 15 right now ; too many turnovers :depressed

[Horry For 3!]

Manu is goin to have to win it for the Spurs

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fuck, there has got to be some NBADLers that can come in and give us the nothing that the rest of the squad is.

[VaSpursFan]

we're playing good d again

[MannyIsGod]

Good D by Vaughn. I'm glad Beno isn't in there.

[dg7md]

Vaughn is SO much better than Beno it's ridiculous.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Seriously there have to be at least some NBDL players hungry as hell to play even for `10 minutes in the NBA, why can't we just sign them

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

How's Vaughn played this year or has he had very little burn?

[VaSpursFan]

timmy's free throws are looking a lot better, great follow through

[MannyIsGod]

Great D by Elson there.

[Marcus Bryant]

Brent Barry monster rebounder.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Wow, Elson actually played some solid defense on Diaw :tu

[Horry For 3!]

Elson couldn't get that rebound???

[hitmanyr2k]

Great block Elson.
