[T_MONEY_TX]

tp out again?

[PerforatedNeckline]

yeah, he's out for the rest of the road trip.

[Admidave50]

Go Spurs Go!

[PerforatedNeckline]

this game is not a sure thing. portland has some effective players and it IS the second night of a back to back, even though we've been looking better in those recently. also, our offense wasn't especially inspiring last night.

[Admidave50]

yeah, he's out for the rest of the road trip.

Too bad, Roy is playing good and Bibby is gaining confidence..
Hope JV/Beno won't be smoked!

Johnny Ludden: Parker back tonight

Tony Parker looked good in pregame warmups, so Pop has decided to include him on the active roster.

Parker's return is a bit of a surprise given that yesterday it appeared almost certain he would be out at least one more game.

Robert Horry will be inactive keeping with Pop's plan to try to rest him on the second night of back-to-backs.

[PerforatedNeckline]

ha, ouch. immediately proven wrong.

[efrem1]

I think this game is important for a win will give the Spurs a double-digit winning streak. A huge confidence booster for the rest of the season.

[Pugglekicker_21]

how many more games on the road trip?

[Cry Havoc]

Could someone do a play-by-play? This game isn't broadcasted. Grrrr.

[T Park]

NBA League Pass, and Kens 5 local, for TV.


Channel 756 on Directv BTW.

[maldita21]

:flag:

[aaronstampler]

Parker was freaked out how well Beno played in his absence. He didn't want to be Wally Pipped. That even sounds like a French name. Le Pipp.

[exstatic]

how many more games on the road trip?
Tonight and Thursday vs. Sacto

[aaronstampler]

I can try to do the play by play. I've never done it before...

[kskonn]

Could someone do a play-by-play? This game isn't broadcasted. Grrrr.

I am not completely sure but you can probably go to NBA.com and click on the game and then do game cast. It gives you play by play , shot location etc...

[T Park]

[Agloco]

WTF..... is this not on television?

[aaronstampler]

Blazers start out 5 of 7

[ShoogarBear]

youre not doing a bad job aaron.He's letting Portland score too much.

[Admidave50]

Portland is hot! scoring 13 pts in 5 min

[ducks]

spurs will have their work cut out for them now to keep then under 40 at the half

[Admidave50]

looks like a high scoring game!

[SpursFanFirst]

This can't last, right? This is kind of painful to watch.

[Admidave50]

THe Blazers kids are unstoppable!!!!

[Otaku]

Blazers are on fire!

[PerforatedNeckline]

this udoka character is eating us alive. he was in the d-league last year!

[slayermin]

Did the blazers put vaseline on the backboard? The ball is bouncing funny on TD's bankshot.

[td4mvp21]

Where is the defense?

[aaronstampler]

Udoka hits another jumper from left, Timmy misses bank shot from left, Magloire misses baseline J, Duncan throws it way to Fred Jones and Udoka scores fastbreak lay up

[SpursFanFirst]

Is this on television?????

I'm watching it on League Pass, but I've heard it's also on KENS

[aaronstampler]

25-15, free throws coming for Manu I believe. Portland hitting a lot of open shots and we're turning it over too much

[Admidave50]

Can someone guard Udoka? He's 5-5!
Isn"t Bowen on him?

[TDMVPDPOY]

why are we gettin wax-on here

[PerforatedNeckline]

meanwhile, dallas is pulling away from new jersey, of course

[aaronstampler]

does anyone want me to keep doing this?

[PerforatedNeckline]

i'm watching it on yahoo, aaron, so don't do it for my sake. if i want to know how something specific looked, i'll probably just ask.

[ThomasGranger]

does anyone want me to keep doing this?

As long as you're not tired of doing it, why not? I can't watch the game where I am.

[aaronstampler]

Portland 10 assists already, Manu hits both free throws 25-17

Jack throws it too high for Randolph, out of bounds

Manu drives on Udoka scores easily on lay up

Oberto fouls Magloire inside, nonshooting. 25-19

[Admidave50]

does anyone want me to keep doing this?

if it's not too demanding, why not?

[aaronstampler]

Shot clock violation on Magloire thanks to Manu double team

[ducks]

if you want to please do
I can watch but I get tired of doing it for posters that can not watch it

[aaronstampler]

Manu feeds Finley for baseline three, good! 25-22

Oberto called for looseball foul on a rebound of Magloire's missed baseline jumper from left.

[PerforatedNeckline]

bonner getting some early run here, sort of. we'll see if it lasts into the second quarter or if this is just situational.

[Admidave50]

by the way, the end of the game between Lakers and TWolves is exciting!
97-96 with 8 sec remaining

[Amuseddaysleeper]

wtf, we let a team shoot 68% in a qtr?


at least I take comfort in knowing that FG% won't last forever

[Admidave50]

29 pts in 1qtr, it's been a long time that a team hasn't scored that much against the Spurs and I can't believe it's the Blazers...

[SpursDynasty]

I read earlier that EVERY team gets pumped up to play the Spurs, they are right.

The NBA media and writers may not give the Spurs the respect they deserve, but ALL NBA teams and players out on the court, respect the Spurs. They are the most respected team by other players in the NBA.

The Spurs are giving up too many easy jump shots for the Blazers.

[Admidave50]

2nd qtr not starting very good

[aaronstampler]

According to box score the Spurs only had 3 rebounds in the 1st quarter.

Being outrebounded 7-3
outassisted 10-5


Fred Jones alley ooop reverse dunk from Rodriguez

Finley hits jumper

Magloire fouled on other end, hits first free throw, misses second 32-24

[ShoogarBear]

That was a sweet jam by Jones.

[Admidave50]

wtf with all these turnovers and off rebounds?

[Admidave50]

not feeling too comfortable with this line up..

[aaronstampler]

Bonner throws it away, Webster misses 3 from left wing, Portland gets the ball out of bounds, OUtlaw misses Jumper, Elson gets blocked by Outlaw, Vaughn gets ball and bricks a jumper.

Magloire scores on offensive rebound

Vaughn misses runner, Elson misses put back, Vaughn misses again, out of bounds to Spurs

Manu misses double clutch jumper from top of key

Bonner fouls Maglorie inside. Not looking good folks. 34-24

[ThomasGranger]

Ugghhhh, Maybe it's better that I can't watch this.

[SpursDynasty]

ginobiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

[Admidave50]

Bring Timmy back!!

[ducks]

if spurs do not start stoping blazers
that half time speech will be heard all the way in az

[aaronstampler]

Magloire misses first, makes second. 35-24

Tony feeds Finley for baseline three, misses

Jones misses lay up on other end

Ginobili with end to end lay up

Outlaw hits jumper 37-26, timeout

[Admidave50]

Blazers hitting all their long jumpers is nonsense...

[TDfan2007]

wow...I'm glad I'm not watching this crap.

[aaronstampler]

Blazers shooting 61.5 % so far. That'll come down.

[boutons_]

Spurs cold 43% vs 60%

and getting killed on the RB 7 - 12

[ShoogarBear]

Now Travis Outlaw is on fire.

[Admidave50]

we'll heat up after half time, we're just tired/asleep right now

[Admidave50]

spurs starting to score as much as blazers

[Cry Havoc]

Anyone checking out the ESPN gamecast... have you noticed how messed up Randolph's face is?

[Admidave50]

lead cut to 7pts

[jaespur21]

man some of you fans would never watch a spurs game when david was hurt and they lost so many games they won the lottery and got duncan

[Cry Havoc]

For those of you too lazy to look it up, check out this guy's mug:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/whisperingstorm/randolphWTF.jpg

[T Park]

uh do people forget that Randolph is a jump shooter and, thats bout it?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

since when did duncan become a crappier rebounder than oberto?


he's only got one reb so far!

[TDfan2007]

wtf? Randolph shoots 3's now?

[jaespur21]

good for you

Well i was still in high school and me and my friends or sometimes chicks would lock ourselves in my room and do that damm thing(with friends it was getting HI hint _

[ducks]

duncan has like 4 layups

tp needs to score more

[spurastic]

Those portland commentators are so full of shit. Be glad that you can't hear that crap such as Pop influencing the refs; and refs being afraid of him; and when Tim was fouled, they referred to it as a flop, etc. etc. etc.

[jaespur21]

down eight CLOSE OUT THE QUARTER!!!!

[aaronstampler]

Barry's top of key 3 rattles out, Bonner gets offensive rebound and gets fouled on shot

[Sam]

Bonner is hustling his ass off and hit the boards hard.

[td4mvp21]

since when did duncan become a crappier rebounder than oberto?


he's only got one reb so far!

When the other team is shooting so high, there aren't going to be many rebounds.

[Admidave50]

Are the Spurs playing ZERO defense of Blazers being lucky with their shots?

[SAtown]

Those portland commentators are so full of shit. Be glad that you can't hear that crap such as Pop influencing the refs; and refs being afraid of him; and when Tim was fouled, they referred to it as a flop, etc. etc. etc.

That sucks. You're missing out on the "Seanisms"

[ducks]

this team shouldhave got chandler

[aaronstampler]

Bonner hits first, and second... 45-39

Webster misses baseline 3

Tony misses top of key jumper

Webster fouled on drive by Bonner

[TDfan2007]

When is the last time that Brent has made a shot that mattered?

[T Park]

this team shouldhave got chandler



trading who and who would've new orleans wanted.

[jaespur21]

since when did duncan become a crappier rebounder than oberto?


he's only got one reb so far!


ANd Oberto has 0 boards so far @ the 5 min mark in the 2nd quarter

[T Park]

When is the last time that Brent has made a shot that mattered?



playoffs game 2 last year.

[td4mvp21]

Is Pop going small??

[ducks]

tie the game at half

if blazers are tied at half playing over their head at half they will be flat in the second half
WATCH

[aaronstampler]

Webster misses first, and second, Bruce board

Duncan up and under from left on Magloire 45-41

Roy bricks jumper Magloire offensive rebound, he missed, another offensive rebound. And another. Eventually Randolph going to the line...

[SAtown]

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i didn't know the spurs were capable of playing this poorly


i hope they pull their heads out of their asses in the 2nd half

[Admidave50]

DId tghe blazers get 4 consecutive Off boards??

[TDfan2007]

Portland going cold and Tim is starting to heat up. Maybe we can get the lead and head into the locker room on a high note.

[Cry Havoc]

We're really lucky Portland is SUCKING at the line tonight.

[Ninja-Defense]

God, I hate when we go small...

[Admidave50]

Hopefully, they can't make their FTs

[Amuseddaysleeper]

nice drive to the basket by barry

[Otaku]

ANd Oberto has 0 boards so far @ the 5 min mark in the 2nd quarter


He has just played 4 minutes man!

[jaespur21]

[Admidave50]

[Amuseddaysleeper]

PARKER JUST PASSED TO MANU OMG




:lol

[SpursDynasty]

Sweet move by the Assassin, but then he misses a three

[jaespur21]

He has just played 4 minutes man!


that wasnt an Oberto dis just gettin Timmys back MAN!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

barry > jordan

[aaronstampler]

Barry runner right up the gut 46-43

Jack blocked by Timmy

Barry misses baseline 3

Magloire misses jump hook

Duncan misses bank shot from left

Randolph with tough right handed lay up from left side 48-43 more whining from refs for and 1

[SpursDynasty]

Another sweet move by the Assassin.

Brent Barry = Blazer Killer

[ShoogarBear]

Pretty good it's this close considering.

[Ninja-Defense]

I'm kind of liking when Bones takes it to the hoop as of late

[Cry Havoc]

Barry with a couple of nice driving layups. White boy still can play!

[Otaku]

barry > jordan

LMAO

[Admidave50]

Ricky DAvis is the man for the Twolves, he scored 2fts to go overtime and he just picked an offensive board to tie the game at 105-105 with 3.3 sec left

[T Park]

barry takes it to the rim.

What a novel idea.

[maldita21]

three fouls on Manu already?

[aaronstampler]

Roy fouled by Manu on leaner in. Manu's 3rd foul. He's out. Kinda crappy call.

Needless pimping by announcers for Roy's rookie of the year credentials.

Timmy with a bloody jersey...

[T Park]

Might as well be Roy, wich other rookie is playing better :lol

[Ninja-Defense]

Roy fouled by Manu on leaner in. Manu's 3rd foul. He's out. Kinda crappy call.

Needless pimping by announcers for Roy's rookie of the year credentials.

Timmy with a bloody jersey...

Roy's solid but this year's rooks have been underwhelming.

[jaespur21]

ive won with Roy on 2k7...........mainly cuz ppl are scared 2 play the spurs so i gots 2 pick another team

[aaronstampler]

Magloire's blood on Timmy...

Roy makes first, and second 50-45

Tim feeds Finley, he misses wing 3 from right

Randolph gets lay up after back to back turnovers 52-45

Tony scores on a lay up 52-47

[ShoogarBear]

That's the second awful pass by Tim tonight. :pctoss

[Obstructed_View]

Way to finish up strong.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

bargnani (sp?) of the raps deserves ROY

[aaronstampler]

on earlier sequence Timmy had originally blocked Randolph, but then he threw it away to Roy who passed it right back to open Randolph under basket.

21 seconds left in half, Blazers with the last possession.

[ducks]

fuck

[aaronstampler]

Roy ison on Bruce makes a jumper easily...

Fin misses alley oop lay up from Brent

[Amuseddaysleeper]

god i hope these POR announcers crawl back to their hole


their homerism and is beyond sickening

[Admidave50]

7pt lead and 54 pts by Blazers, it's pretty bad! Spurs didn't reduce the lead in the 2nd qtr!

[boutons_]

Spurs losing on RBs, STLs, TOs, and FG%, lucky to be in the game.

[T Park]

bargnani (sp?) of the raps deserves ROY

over Roy?

Bargnani don't even start on his own team.

He can't start ahead of Rasho for god's sake...

[itzsoweezee]

small ball is awesome!

[T Park]

Spurs losing on RBs, STLs, TOs, and FG%, lucky to be in the game.

and boutons is overjoyed.

[Obstructed_View]

How quickly the mojo slips away.

[spurastic]

Commentators just said something along the lines that Bowen was barking the heads off of the referees but what do you expect --he's a Spurs player. These guys are the worse I've ever heard. Worse then the Mavs commentators even.

[T Park]

No they aren't :lol

[theroc5]

Commentators just said something along the lines that Bowen was barking the heads off of the referees but what do you expect --he's a Spurs player. These guys are the worse I've ever heard. Worse then the Mavs commentators even.
not sure if there as bad but they are pretty bad..i heard it to and i was thinking besides the 1999 playoff match up what have the spurs done to the blazers?

[aaronstampler]

Half time 54-47

Portland shooting 55% 22-40
San Antonio 50% 18-36

Offensive rebounds, total rebounds

Portland 7 - 20
SA 3- 13

Assists

Por 14
SA 10

Turnovers

SA 5 (seems like more)
Por 2

Observations

1. Portland hitting a lot of mid range jumpers, that won't continue forever, but SA has to rebound way better.

2. I don't think Tony should be playing, he looks limited and slow out there

3. I think Spurs were surprised by Portland's early energy but generally I think they're in decent shape for a comeback, it's only 5 points

4. We'd be in trouble if they hadn't misses so many FTs (7-14) and if we hadn't shot them so well (9-10)

5. I fucking can't stand Portland's announcers. "Bowen barking to the referees - of course he is, he's a San Antonio Spur"

[ShoogarBear]

Pop is loving this. He's going apeshit on them about defense.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

over Roy?

Bargnani don't even start on his own team.

He can't start ahead of Rasho for god's sake...

I'm probably biased since I live in toronto, but trust me T Park, he's a huge reason for toronto's best season ever (even if they are int he worst division in nba history)

[Otaku]

Well, seems this is the "inverted" game... spurs defense is sucking, that may mean that we could actually see a great 3rd quarter??

[aaronstampler]

small ball is awesome!


I don't think we played any small ball. Duncan, Elson, Oberto and Bonner combined for 42 minutes according to this thing. That means Bonner played a little SF...

[RC's Boss]

Okay, time to lock shit down. They won't keep that fg% all game

[T Park]

but trust me T Park, he's a huge reason for toronto's best season ever (even if they are int he worst division in nba history)

Ive wached some Toronto games, and the reason for their best season ever are two guys.

Chris Bosh.

TJ Ford.

[aaronstampler]

It's gonna have to be one hell of a second half to hold Portland to 74 points...

[TDMVPDPOY]

time for bowen to break some ankles

[T Park]

:lol

Damn 74 points, just win the game.

[mardigan]

Nice job on this thread Stampler

[aaronstampler]

not sure if there as bad but they are pretty bad..i heard it to and i was thinking besides the 1999 playoff match up what have the spurs done to the blazers?


I think they're upset in general that they we win titles and contend every year and all of our players are upstanding citizens and they're stucking in Oregon working for the jailblazers.

[PerforatedNeckline]

how many games did we have like this last year? 50?

[Trainwreck2100]

FUCK YOU Forrest Wellmaker

[itzsoweezee]

I don't think we played any small ball. Duncan, Elson, Oberto and Bonner combined for 42 minutes according to this thing. That means Bonner played a little SF...

i hope that's true. i was following via yahoo gamecast off and on and a few times, at least, duncan was the only big on the floor.

[Admidave50]

Watch out for Sacramento next, they're playing good with 15Pt lead at halftime against Indy

[SequSpur]

all of you aren't very basketball smart.. i don't know why you bother coming here instead of posting on an aol teen forum... i mean wtf?

[T Park]

yeah for the last part of the second quarter it was

Duncan
Bonner
Finley
Barry
Parker/Vaughn

[Amuseddaysleeper]

when parker resorts to outside shots thats when we know we're screwed

[aaronstampler]

3rd quarter starts

Roy fadeaway jumper on Bruce 56-47

Tony misses jumper from left against Aldridge

Udoka hits corner three he's 6 for 6 59-47 Pop calls TO and he's pissed at Elson and Tony

[Trainwreck2100]

what a great way to start the half

[TDfan2007]

man portland won't miss. I can see this being one of those nights...

[aaronstampler]

Hey Sequ, your boy is playing like ass. Should have sat this one out too.

[Admidave50]

Pop benched Parker lol

[Admidave50]

Pop with small ball again.. Finley replacing Elson

[Amuseddaysleeper]

To parker's credit, I'm sure he's still hurt a bit


plus, Vaughn has developed well enough that I don't mind having him in the game

[TDfan2007]

I think giving Tim some touches right now would help. He seemed to get into a good rhythm in the 1st half.

[td4mvp21]

Pop with small ball again.. Finley replacing Elson
You are fucking joking right?

[Admidave50]

Parker was supposed to miss the entire road trip..

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lol Listening to Portland commentator defend the bullshit defensive 3 second call on TIm.

[ShoogarBear]

Oh, fuck. Small Ball.

[TDfan2007]

nevermind...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

You are fucking joking right?


The only thing that's hilarious about our lineup right now is asking Finley to guard Zach Randolph.

[TDfan2007]

Thank you Brent Barry. Damn.

[Admidave50]

Barry with a 3! Still 9 pt lead

[td4mvp21]

I don't know when Pop is going to get it into his fucking stubborn little mind that small ball with this team does NOT work at all. Elson or Oberto or Bonner as PF/C>>>>Small Ball.

[ShoogarBear]

The only thing better than Small Ball is Small Ball with two non-defenders and two non-shooters.

[Zarko]

finley 3!!!

[01Snake]

They can't miss!

[Trainwreck2100]

How many jumpers are these assholes gonna hit?

[Admidave50]

Aldridge open jumper from top of key on pick and roll 63-52

Tim misses off balance banker off a double team

Randolph misses shot

Finley hits right wing 3 from Brent 63-55

Aldridge elbow jumper wide open 65-55 Fucking rookie won't miss

Tim turns it over against double team, foul on Vaughn to stop fast break

[ShoogarBear]

The third silly throwaway by Duncan.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

They can't miss!

It's not like you have to worry about a 6'4" guard who doesn't play defense blocking your shot when you're 6'10" shooting over them.

*Fuck small ball*

[Zarko]

we look like shit...

[Trainwreck2100]

WTF was that Vaughn

[Admidave50]

Now it's raining bricks...?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I just want to hear what kind of a thought process Pop has when he looks out there and sees Aldridge and Randolph and thinks "hmm, I'll go with Tim and let Bruce and Finley take turns guarding them."

:pctoss

[PerforatedNeckline]

udoka missed! i was beginning to wonder if he was capable.

[aaronstampler]

Roy misses top of key jumper

Vaughn misses short jumper way too early on shot clock

Aldridge misses against Duncan from baseline

Bowen misses baseline 3, Gino can't score on offensive rebound try

Udoga misses

Tim hits jumper from left side, time out 65-57

[TDfan2007]

Yeah any rhythm TIm had has effectively gone into thin air

[aaronstampler]

I don't like small ball...

[TDfan2007]

man my timing is awful...

[Admidave50]

Pop must be really mad at Elson for not playing him! What did he do?

[TDfan2007]

man we can't hit shit right now *waits for a barrage of swishes*

[Amuseddaysleeper]

"manu misses the tip in which would've been sparticular........(other commentator) OR it should've been an over the back"


GTFO asshole
