[angel_luv]

Go Spurs! :)

[FromWayDowntown]

Hawks by 127.

[ShoogarBear]

Hawks by 127.You don't think they'll cover?

[ace3g]

any body else getting a poker tournament instead of spurs game on FSN?

[50 cent]

League pass fool.

*raiseshand*

:bang

[shelshor]

Bonner first off the bench

[midgetonadonkey]

It's not being shown locally?

[midgetonadonkey]

Nevermind I got it on FSN.

[l3orecl]

I hate being in Cali... only get to watch Spurs when they are on primetime TV or when they play a cali team and get to watch on one of the FSNW channels. Is there any free web cast or internet radio broadcasts??

[ChumpDumper]

Sheesh. There are more fans at Toro games.

[ChumpDumper]

Bonner hustling nicely -- ripped a rebound from three Hawks and drew a foul.

[boutons_]

I got in on FSN on GrandeCom in SA, but there's no audio for the game, but the commercials come in loud and clear.

Don't fuck with Bonner when he's rebounding, he'll fucking rip your arms off. He's turning out to be a classic hustle player (even if he is in a contract year).

[boutons_]

Tim, see how easy it is too shoot FTs when you get under the ball and give it some arc?

[boutons_]

Bonner CARES!

[midgetonadonkey]

Tim, see how easy it is too shoot FTs when you get under the ball and give it some arc?

I don't think he's reading right now.

[angel_luv]

Whoops- I had tip off time wrong... not that it makes a huge difference as I am stuck at work. :(

[exstatic]

Ridiculous circus teardrop into the clouds by Manu. :wow

[td4mvp21]

Why the fuck is Pop still playing Oberto?

[abelle23]

19 -17 spurs

[duncan228]

I've got League Pass, and I'm not getting the game. Anyone else suffering this as well? The screen says "Temporarily off air" I'm getting all the other games.

[midgetonadonkey]

Alright let's break down the 1st quarter.

[midgetonadonkey]

They made some baskets, we made some baskets. One thing is known, baskets were made.

[midgetonadonkey]

The dribbling was very good on our part.

[midgetonadonkey]

I also noticed some very aggressive high-5's on our side. That's a good sign.

[boutons_]

Very unimpressive first qtr. Let's detach at least a little in the 2nd, because chances are in the 3rd ....

[midgetonadonkey]

Fascinating post.

[boutons_]

Manu lays it in.

Manu with pull up jumper.

Manu's feeling it.

[Jobbs]

Manu is awesome tonight

[boutons_]

Spurs 30 - 21 after 13 minutes.

[midgetonadonkey]

34-21

[maldita21]

wow, 1st 8 pts in the 2ndQ from manu!

[boutons_]

Manu's on fire. He knows he's gotta chuck it since Pop's gonna yank his ass! :lol

[jeffdrums22]

And who says the Spurs are unathletic? Ha.

[exstatic]

Manu is on fucking FIRE!!!

[maldita21]

make that 11! manu for 3!

[midgetonadonkey]

Alright folks, lets break down the first minute of the 2nd quarter.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

19pts in 8 minutes

[midgetonadonkey]

Manu clearly likes making baskets.

[Otaku]

Lol, manu is winning this game alone! He´s on fire!!!

[maldita21]

hi abelle!

[yourtehclay]

manu > jesus

[E20]

Manu is going for a 100 points tonight.

I smell a win on the second game of a back to back.

[Jobbs]

Tony :(

[spurschick]

http://www.spurschick.com/church.jpg

[smeagol]

Manu is on fucking FIRE!!!
Is this hot dog Manu we are talking about?

[Jobbs]

20!

[E20]

Another layup by Manu Ginobili.

[E20]

Is this El Contusion at work?

I've never seen someone score 10 points in a span of 5 seconds.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony :(

What happened?

[smeagol]

Manu has only one assist and no boards. He is slacking!

[boutons_]

Manu plucking the Hawks feather by sadistic feather.

[l3orecl]

Manu is owning ... 24 straight points

[E20]

Manu has only one assist and no boards. He is slacking!
He has 1 rebound. Stop fucking capping on Manu shit.

[boutons_]

Manu pulls out the chair, doesn't work.

[midgetonadonkey]

Manu plucking the Hawks feather by sadistic feather.

That's poetry.

[exstatic]

24 pts...with 9+ minutes left in the first half!!! Manumania!!

[doldrums]

manu 24 hawks 23

[E20]

This cat can ball.

[Jobbs]

Tony hurt his knee but he's back in

[spurschick]

:drunk :drunk :drunk

[smeagol]

He has 1 rebound. Stop fucking capping on Manu shit.
Read my sig you moron. Can´t you see sarcasm when it´s infront of your face?

Jesus Christ . . .

[boutons_]

It was not his knee, his hand was on the back of his left thigh. Probably got kneed.

[E20]

Read my sig you moron. Can´t you see sarcasm when it´s infront of your face?

Jesus Christ . . .
I wondering if you can see sarcasm in front of your face.

I don't need to look at your sig, I just need to look at that Argentinean flag next to your name. :rolleyes

[abelle23]

maybe manu thinks its 4th q already

:clap

[spurastic]

I think it was Johnson who kneed parker.

[doldrums]

settle down, I read correctly that both were sarcastic LOL

[~Sweetmelody~]

Is someone recording?

I can't see the game! :cry

[midgetonadonkey]

Is someone recording?

I can't see the game! :cry

Sounds like you are SOL.

[angel_luv]

Wow- go Gino! :)

I'm mad I am missing this.

[smeagol]

settle down, I read correctly that both were sarcastic LOL
My bad. It´s the language barrier :spin

[milkyway21]

rumors are Cleveland wants Bibby or Beno. If he's DNA tonight or the next few games there's something cookin' that we don't know until 2/22 :angel

hello angel_luv :D

[~Sweetmelody~]

Sounds like you are SOL.


:depressed

I swear... I feel pathetic, Looking at the Yahoo GameChannel! LOLOL
I need Video!!!

[smeagol]

First game I have to follow with play by play on NBA.com and the game blog thread.

It sure sucks being in Argentina when a Spurs game is on!

[E20]

Ginobili better top his 48 point career high tonight. He has 26 and the half isnt' even over yet!

[aaronstampler]

This is officially the highest scoring half of Manu's career, yes?

[Leetonidas]

Manu pwns

[Willinsa]

Damn Manu is on fire.

[midgetonadonkey]

:depressed

I swear... I feel pathetic, Looking at the Yahoo GameChannel! LOLOL
I need Video!!!

You should feel pathetic.

[xamila rey]

27 for Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :elephant

[angel_luv]

Hi Milky! How are you? :)

[Otaku]

It depends on how many minutes Pop will give to him. If the game is cooked way before the end, then he will not play much like yesterday.

[smeagol]

This is officially the highest scoring half of Manu's career, yes?
I believe he had 19 pts in the 1H the night he scored 48

[midgetonadonkey]

It's good to see Bowen taking shots. He hasn't missed enough. It would be nice to see him miss a whole lot more this season.

[midgetonadonkey]

I believe he had 19 pts in the 1H the night he scored 48

So that is more than the 29 he had that second half?

[sa_butta]

Bowen cant shoot for shit, is his back that bad?

[doldrums]

bench 28
starters 22

[E20]

27 points in one quarters worth, that's pretty impressive.

[remingtonbo2001]

I hope not....What are we gonna do? We can't really afford to give him a couple games off....Unless Finley would step up and play like he did in Dallas? I wish

[midgetonadonkey]

Bowen cant shoot for shit, is his back that bad?

No, he just sucks that bad.

[aaronstampler]

So that is more than the 29 he had that second half?

That was an OT game and I think he scored four or five in OT.

[E20]

Any news on why Tony hasn't been playing?

[midgetonadonkey]

I hope not....What are we gonna do? We can't really afford to give him a couple games off....Unless Finley would step up and play like he did in Dallas? I wish

Better him get time off during the regular season than go limping into the playoffs. He's 57 years old for God's sakes.

[midgetonadonkey]

Any news on why Tony hasn't been playing?

He isn't playing because he's ashamed of your gay ass Sylvester Stallone sig. Not really, he thinks you are gay.

No really, he has 3 fouls.

[MmP]

I believe he had 19 pts in the 1H the night he scored 48
He had 18 and a pretty behind the back assist to Devin Brown with few seconds left in the clock for the half.

Manu's been playing really good in the last games maybe he's gaining his 2005 confidence back.

[smeagol]

That was an OT game and I think he scored four or five in OT.
IIRC, he had 40 pts in regulation.

He had a sweet dunk over three Suns in OT.

[anonymous coward]

Manu >> Parker

[nkdlunch]

Manu >> Parker

and thats coming from an anonymous coward

[sa_butta]

How many points do you think Ginobili will finish with??
I say 43.

[mikejones99]

manu will rest when they get big lead, end with 35.

[anonymous coward]

Watch Out NBA. Manu Is Determined.

[nkdlunch]

How many points do you think Ginobili will finish with??
I say 43.

If this is a blowout game, Manu will end up w/32

If this is a close game, Manu will end up w/50

[sa_butta]

We Are All Witness.

[spurastic]

It was Josh Smith who kneed Tony according to the commentators.

[ShoogarBear]

WTF, Oberto?

[~Sweetmelody~]

You should feel pathetic.


thanks :lol

[E20]

He isn't playing because he's ashamed of your gay ass Sylvester Stallone sig. Not really, he thinks you are gay.

No really, he has 3 fouls.
I smell a hint of jealousy.

If that remark came for a somebody, not a nobody, then I'd kinda feel it. But nahhhhhh, the reek of your bum factor can be smelt over a computer :donkey :blah

[smeagol]

Manu >> Parker
Who the fuck cares . . . ?

[milkyway21]

Hi Milky! How are you? :)never been better, angel_luv :lol

is there something wrong with this forum? I posted @ TimDuncan's wife thread and it end up here. :lol

I'm embarrassed. Sorry guys!

[fred33]

tony is injured?

[milkyway21]

It was Josh Smith who kneed Tony according to the commentators.

i hope it's not intentional huh

:bang

[milkyway21]

if you take a peek @ the scoreboard you think the Spurs are tired :D

except the dynamite Manu of course

[spurastic]

I watched the replay and it was obviously intentional. Trying to play like the dirty Mavs?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

is tony injured? what happend?

[spurastic]

Tony is playing so I guess he is okay!

[spurastic]

Did Pop forget to shave or just have a wild time in LV.

[Spurs Brazil]

5 on Oberto

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN Finley

[Otaku]

He´s doing ok today, 7 rebounds :)

[shelshor]

Did Pop forget to shave or just have a wild time in LV.
Pop's RRT beard is just now beginning to show

[Leetonidas]

Finley sucks. Quit shooting asswipe.

[fred33]

Tony Suck Tonight

[E20]

Hawks come back with a barrage of bricks by the Spurs leading their comeback.

[aaronstampler]

Tony's a nightmare out there right now. Either Vaughn or even Beno would be better tonight. Tony's hurt.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP can't hit a shot

[fred33]

Tony Suck Really

[abelle23]

manu also missing...tied game

[abelle23]

manu!!!

[aaronstampler]

They're gonna need to play a solid 4th to win this game. Nobody besides Duncan, Manu and Vaughn are playing well, the interior defense is garbage and all the bigs are in foul trouble.

[maldita21]

omfg! tied at the end of 3Q!

[Leetonidas]

We're getting owned by...

Not Joe Johnson. Not Josh Smith. Not even Josh Childress.

But Zaza freakin' Pachulia. :lmao

[aaronstampler]

They just gotta pack the lane on defense and make the Hawks hit some outside shots.

[E20]

Tied at 70.

Tony needs to rest. Tim and Manu need to perform a 1-2 tandem or something to win.

[spyder]

spurs are gonna win..not worried

[fred33]

Is Tony Injured?

[boutons_]

Spurs folding in the 3rd like a lawn chair.

Spurs lose 3rd qtr, 16 - 27.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

jesus christ if we lose to atlanta now


fuck



we better lock down in the 4th

[jmard5]

Spurs better win this one.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

and how the hell is TP 1-10?

[abelle23]

spurs better win this!! please.... i hate 3rd quarters

[SuperManu!!!]

TOny is not injured...he is just having an off night. The problem is when you keep forcing it!!!!

[angel_luv]

How are we tied??? :(
Last time I checked Gino was owning everybody.

[Otaku]

The 3rd quarter curse is back!!! :(

[GrandeDavid]

Spurs choading

[GrandeDavid]

Emanuel is playing well, though.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The 3rd quarter curse is back!!! :(

no, 2006-2007 spurs basketball is back

[angel_luv]

I realize there is fatigue from the back to back... but come on guys! You can do it!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu 33333333333333333333333

[GrandeDavid]

Gino has 36! Phadt!!

[spyder]

:downspin: manu's going nuts

[boutons_]

Fab and Fran are such fouling klutzes.

[angel_luv]

Thank you , Ginooooobili :)

[GrandeDavid]

SpursBrazil, e ai, cara!! Tudo joia?

[carina_gino20]

:wow :wow :wow

just came in.. manu has 36 pts?

[hitmanyr2k]

Ginobili will probably have to go for a career high to pull this game out.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tudo bem Grande, me recuperando do Carnaval

[spurastic]

I think Tony was injured when he was kneed and it's affecting his game.

[lefty]

Manu 24 straight points.........24 straight.....

[sa_butta]

Bowen please stop shooting, just try to get some assists or something. FUCK

[lefty]

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2774411

[smeagol]

SpursBrazil, e ai, cara!! Tudo joia?
Tudo legal, meu amigo.

[GrandeDavid]

Only Manu and Tim may shoot from now on. Anyone else who shoots needs to be shot.

[GrandeDavid]

Smeagol! Como estao as coisa por ai?

[aaronstampler]

The gamecast is screwed up. It says he missed and made his three on the same shot.

[SuperManu!!!]

I think Tony was injured when he was kneed and it's affecting his game.

No injury....just an off night with a lot of fouls. He can't shoot 50% all nights

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu with 4rebs in the 4th quarter

[sa_butta]

Too many bigs in foul trouble.

[smeagol]

Smeagol! Como estao as coisa por ai?
Tudo bem, brigado.

De novo en Argentina sim Spurs pela TV :depressed

[E20]

So who did Joe Johnson commit the flagrant foul on?

[SoCalSpursFan]

is 24 points in a row close to the record? why did they single it out as a story? it's amazing, no doubt, but still?

[boutons_]

Come on, Bruce, stop with the bricks.

[aaronstampler]

So we're really gonna just keep letting Bowen shoot no matter how many he misses?

[GrandeDavid]

SpursBrazil, teve muito trabalho, tambem sendo que eu viajo muito e sempre me divirto, entao eu nao fiz muita questao de fazer muitas coisas na Carnaval. So tomei umas, treinei bastante e trabalhei. Agora vou para os EUA na semana que vem.

[carina_gino20]

we're exposed with tony playing like this. thankfully, it's probably just a freak game for him.

:spursflag

[Spurs Brazil]

Tudo bem, brigado.

De novo en Argentina sim Spurs pela TV :depressed

O pior é que pelo que vi na ESPN o próximo jogo será o último da temporada, contra o Nuggets :depressed

[shelshor]

So who did Joe Johnson commit the flagrant foul on?
Barry

[boutons_]

Woodson giving the bad mouth and evil eye on the refs.

[GrandeDavid]

I want Manu to hit 40, damnit. What's his career high in the NBA?

[cheguevara]

score? time?

[aaronstampler]

Manu's having one of those youtube nights...

[carina_gino20]

i wanna see the game! :madrun :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Grande também estou me recuperando de umas cervejas. Vc vai para SA?

[SoCalSpursFan]

82 - 74 7:20 left Spurs winning

[GrandeDavid]

O pior é que pelo que vi na ESPN o próximo jogo será o último da temporada, contra o Nuggets :depressed

E uma merda. Por mim gracas a Deus que estarei de volta em San Antonio a partir do meio de marco ate julho, quase.

[kolko]

I want Manu to hit 40, damnit. What's his career high in the NBA?

A televisao na Argentina sucks donkeys hairy balls :devil :madrun :bang

Filhos da Puta!!!!!!!!

[sa_butta]

So we're really gonna just keep letting Bowen shoot no matter how many he misses?:pctoss
Finley and Bowen=0 pts

[GrandeDavid]

SpursBrazil, tenho escritorio em Miami, entao vou la por uma semana, depois Santo Domingo, depois Mexico D.F. para visitar meus distribuidores, DEPOIS San Antonio.

[spyder]

bowen needs the old ball back

[GrandeDavid]

Marvin Williams, what a friggin near bust.

[Spurs Brazil]

Legal Grande

[jeffdrums22]

If Spurs get this, they will be 37-18, with their next games vs the Sonics and Velociraptors, and they can be 39-18 by the beginning of March. Not bad, if they can win these easy 3.

Interesting fact they just showed: In Duncan era, the Spurs have had the best winning percentage of all NBA teams after the All-Star break. No surprise there, and they will continue that this year.

[sa_butta]

bowen needs the old ball backAnd a bigger hoop to shoot at.

[GrandeDavid]

Damn, looking at the box score (started accompanying the game only since the third quarter), it seems that Francisco Elson was his streaky ass self tonight. Nice non-production in 12 minutes. :rolleyes

[lefty]

The real Manu "I don't think when I have the ball" Ginobili is back ; that's great news for the Spurs

[hitmanyr2k]

If Spurs get this, they will be 37-18, with their next games vs the Sonics and Velociraptors, and they can be 39-18 by the beginning of March. Not bad, if they can win these easy 3.

Don't count the Raptors as some automatic win. They're no pushover these days.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu on the bench

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GrandeDavid]

Bowen needs to own up to his bad back. If he's sore, his ass needs to sit so he can get healthy and be of use to the team again.

[SoCalSpursFan]

This is a very, very odd box score. Manu and Tim = Amazing. Tony 1-10? Bowen and Fin 0-10? Hmmmm.

[SuperManu!!!]

IS Pop Trying to loose the game????

[E20]

Why is Finley in and Manu out?

[angel_luv]

Don't count the Raptors as some automatic win. They're no pushover these days.

[GrandeDavid]

A televisao na Argentina sucks donkeys hairy balls :devil :madrun :bang

Filhos da Puta!!!!!!!!


:lol

[SoCalSpursFan]

May be a dumb question, but why isnt manu in?

[Spurs Brazil]

Barry big shot

[DubMcDub]

Damn, looking at the box score (started accompanying the game only since the third quarter), it seems that Francisco Elson was his streaky ass self tonight. Nice non-production in 12 minutes. :rolleyes

But but but...Fransisco Elson is the savior of the Spurs! :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn small ball

TD with 30pts

[GrandeDavid]

Smeagol, do you know what Manu's NBA all time high for scoring is?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Why is Finley in and Manu out?

b/c Pop's in charge and he's the worst coach when it comes to substitutions in NBA history :pctoss

[smeagol]

IS Pop Trying to loose the game????
He has a knack for doing this sometimes

[ChumpDumper]

Tony sucks.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP Clutch

[kolko]

Smeagol, do you know what Manu's NBA all time high for scoring is?
48 points

[GrandeDavid]

Tony and Elson have just been sucking tonight. Damn.

[smeagol]

Smeagol, do you know what Manu's NBA all time high for scoring is?
I think you missed kolko´s 1st post.

48 against the Suns two years ago.

[E20]

Timmy is having a better game than Manu.

[lefty]

The last time Manu played like that, with that confidence and agressiveness (being healthy again helps too obviously) was during the 2004-2005 season :devil

[GrandeDavid]

SpursBrazil, voce conhece Valtinho? Ou Alex Garcia? Sao grandes jogadores brasileiros e grandes amigos meus.

[E20]

Tony sucks.
What makes you say that chumpdumper?

[Otaku]

Why is Finley in and Manu out?

Because pop is the coach??? :P

[aaronstampler]

May be a dumb question, but why isnt manu in?

He loses his effectiveness if he's in for more than seven or eight minutes in a row. He had no legs at all for his last two shots. Giving him a couple minutes breather was a good move.

[bigdog]

i hate FSN, this always happens. the day that i wait all day for a damn game, they show something else, when the spurs website and tv guide says that its showing the game. this is bullshit.

[Tippecanoe]

Timmy is having a better game than Manu.

no way. 24 straight points. end of discussion

[itzsoweezee]

But but but...Fransisco Elson is the savior of the Spurs! :lol

he's not the savior, but the elson-oberto combo is good enough to win a championship. the main point is, the center position isn't stopping the spurs from winning the championship.

[GrandeDavid]

I think you missed kolko´s 1st post.

48 against the Suns two years ago.

I did miss it, so thanks for reposting, bro.

[ChumpDumper]

What makes you say that chumpdumper?Sarcasm.

[GrandeDavid]

And I remember that game. Manu tore shit up. Spurs ended up losing in double OT, though, right?

[SuperManu!!!]

TP Clutch

YEah right....
:rolleyes

[GrandeDavid]

Sweet, Manu's back! Manu, please jack some threes or drive the lane and get fouled. I want 50!!!!!!!!!!!

[smeagol]

He loses his effectiveness if he's in for more than seven or eight minutes in a row. He had no legs at all for his last two shots. Giving him a couple minutes breather was a good move.
2 years ago he used to play all the 4th Qs.

[Tippecanoe]

And I remember that game. Manu tore shit up. Spurs ended up losing in double OT, though, right?

no, they came back from like down 17 or so
instant classic

[E20]

no way. 24 straight points. end of discussion
Ugh.......Field goal percentage wise. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

SpursBrazil, voce conhece Valtinho? Ou Alex Garcia? Sao grandes jogadores brasileiros e grandes amigos meus.

Yep ; and Manu dunked on Marion and Amare during OT ; that was sweet

[GrandeDavid]

Tippecanoe, you're right!

[td4mvp21]

I don't fucking understand why Pop goes small every fucking time we start to lose. WHAT THE FUCK??? It pisses me off to no end. Small ball fucking sucks.

[GrandeDavid]

Damn, some guys just flat out blew tonight - Finley, Parker, Bowen, Elson. At least statistically they did.

[Spurs Brazil]

GREAT play by Brent

[GrandeDavid]

The Spurs got resoundly beat across the board in the hustle stats, but their incredible 93% free throw shooting won them this game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Brent has 18pts
