[Kobulingam]

50 for Kobe.

[mardigan]

Kobe just hit 50

[milkyway21]

80-85 Spurs

:greedy

[Amuseddaysleeper]

un fucking believable


I hope to god Pop kicks all their asses after this game

[mikejones99]

god = Kobe

[mother]

the fuck was that?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

WTF?????

Manu!?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Kobe just hit 50


Best player in the league.

[Admidave50]

Stupid to by Gino! Wtf with the refs in the 4th? They're definitely in favor of the Pistons

[Lp26]

I hope all DAL fans that are watching this game and were like well we're missing buckner bla, bla see the value of Chauncey in the 4th

[wildbill2u]

Detrroti scores 6 straight. Spurs by 3 with less than a minute

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We're trying to give another game away - it's like manu's brain exploded, first the terrible off balance 3, then throwing the ball to the 10th row. Not like him.

[Kobulingam]

Best player in the league.

Debatable. He is the best "scorer" in the league though.

[dg7md]

Stupid to by Gino! Wtf with the refs in the 4th? They're definitely in favor of the Pistons

How? They haven't been in favor of anybody! Spurs are just choking a bit.

[milkyway21]

kobe will be the biggest hindrance to Dirk's quest for his 1st season MVP

they will be in the playoffs
despite injury-prone supporting casts(esp big men), this season.

itch, itch!!! :lol

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Put your seatbelts on.

[Gerryatrics]

Did yahoo just break or did Billups really hit two freethrows and a jumpshot in a single play?

[Johnny RIngo]

Ginobli sure picks a hell of a time to start choking.

[mardigan]

Debatable. He is the best "scorer" in the league though.
No, he is the best player in the league

[sprrs]

Billups didn't even try to make it :rolleyes

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

HUUUUUGE Dice block on Tony.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

this is sickening


and AMAZING block on behalf of Dice


we should've ended this and won by 10


I don't know how a team with our veterans could fail to execute so many times in crunch time

[mikejones99]

what the hell is goin on here? score line up???

[JamStone]

nice try chauncey but that wasn't a foul

[mardigan]

Spurs up 3

[wildbill2u]

We can't hit anything, but Manu gets fouled and makes two. We lead by three.

[Spurs Brazil]

We need a stop now

DEFENSE

[RON ARTEST]

wow

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Billups is a wanker - TP was nowhere near him, he was in the air on a bad decision to shoot a 3 from 10ft outside the arc, and he got lucky that his fling fell for Dice.

Clutch FTs by manu

[Fabbs]

No, he is the best player in the league
get this stench off the Spurs section.

[efrem1]

Shoulda been over by now. They need to stop the three!! GO SPURS!!

[Sense]

What the fuck was that?!!?!?!?!?!?

[picnroll]

Bullshit. Smae ahole ref

[RON ARTEST]

damn these refs are terrible.

[mardigan]

get this stench off the Spurs section.
Why? He is, Ill put it wherever I want to

[ShoogarBear]

Oh my god. These refs have lost their minds. Make the call when it happens.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

wow


thanks for calling the whistle 2 weeks later

jesus christ

[DarkReign]

Well, that wasnt a foul.

[DarkReign]

Rip chokes again...

[wildbill2u]

this is sickening


and AMAZING block on behalf of Dice


we should've ended this and won by 10


I don't know how a team with our veterans could fail to execute so many times in crunch time
WORD!:clap

[RON ARTEST]

rip chokes

[mother]

wow that was fucking a LATEEEEEEEEEEEEE call!!

[efrem1]

Whew!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Missed the 1st

[Flight3107]

Holy late whistle batman

[RON ARTEST]

:lol

[sprrs]

WOW.....at least Rip missed the free throws

KARMA

[ShoogarBear]

Holy crap. Rip Hamilton misses two free throws???

[Sense]

Sheed deserves to be constantly punched in the face.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

wow


rip doing a repeat of the dallas game at the FT line

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Damn it Rip you killed us.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TERRIBLE call on Bowen. RIP was all over him!

[milkyway21]

he he Rip getting ripped and bricked his FTs

[DarkReign]

well, thats game

[Sense]

Tim teaching Rip how to do it... rofl

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Ball Don't Lie?

[Admidave50]

Hamilton is soooooooooooo clutch!

[picnroll]

That ref has to have laid money on the Pistons

[wildbill2u]

Hmailton missed 2 FTS. Duncan got rebound. Still up by 3.

[ShoogarBear]

:lmao :lmao

Hamilton misses two, Duncan makes one.

[Lp26]

Rip ?$%?#?%?%$??%$# JESUS FUCKING CHRIST :pctoss :pctoss

[Borosai]

At least people have stopped with the "It's only <insert month here>" routine. These guys are shaky.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Rip missing those FTs is called JUSTICE. The refs have been horrible.

[DarkReign]

Pathetic when Rip could take notes from Duncan at the FT line.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

you can call a timeout while falling out of bounds?

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Good game guys thanks for letting us blog.

[wildbill2u]

Duncan made one of two. Up by 4

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It was Pop's terrible lineup to start the 4th that let them back in...

[ShoogarBear]

The Spurs are perfectly capable of giving up a four-point play.

[mardigan]

How much time is left?

[Kobulingam]

Haha for NBA. NBA was "seen" by public going after Kobe several times (justified or not). Now Kobe is the one who's showcasing the NBA to casual fans (sports news).

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'm still pissed it even came down to this

and Pop HAS to take TD off the floor


put in manu, finley, barry, bonner, and elson

finish the game with ft's

[wildbill2u]

8 seconds. Detroti time out.

[ShoogarBear]

I would put Manu, Finley, Barry, Udrih and Parker out there.

[wildbill2u]

detroit make 2.

[ShoogarBear]

Shit, Duncan's in.

[DarkReign]

oOo

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

4.4 to play Spurs up 2

Pistons fans, you are always welcome here... unlike those Dallas fucks. :lmao

[Fabbs]

I would put Manu, Finley, Barry, Udrih and Parker out there.
Entirely logical. Lets see what Cementhead does. :rolleyes

[DarkReign]

couldnt inbound the ball

[wildbill2u]

SA time out with 4.4.. Finley and Baryy in for elson i bowen.

[mikejones99]

point spread in jeopardy still

[milkyway21]

i notice a lot of fouls called for this game. :p:

[mother]

please end alreadyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Far too many nothing fouls called

[Kobulingam]

please end alreadyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

win is a win :toast

[DarkReign]

1 down

[ShoogarBear]

Damn, Rip's missed FTs were HOOOGE.

[DarkReign]

Game

[wildbill2u]

They fouled someoen with 3.5 sec. left. Bowen in for Barry.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

BONNER should play more. He looks really good.

[JamStone]

Great game Spurs

[milkyway21]

Shit, Duncan's in.i hope you're just kidding right? :rolleyes

[mikejones99]

total of 175 goin over looks like

[wildbill2u]

Mnau hits both FTs. Should be game over.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu ices it.

[mardigan]

I cant believe Prince hit that 3

[SequSpur]

BONNER should play more. He looks really good.

Bonner sucks.

More of Bonner in the fourth would've led to an easy Piston win...

Man... you frickin sentimental fans blow.

[Fabbs]

WooHoo! Lets see those stats when Frankie Elson gets minutes.

Good night all.
Good riddance Kobe lovers.
Express your love for him in the NBA section, not here! :married:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

90-89 Spurs win

[mardigan]

WooHoo! Lets see those stats when Frankie Elson gets minutes.

Good night all.

Your an idiot

[wildbill2u]

90-89 Spurs win!

[G-Money]

Rip is turning into Jerry Stackhouse. If Rip would of made those FT's that would be a Piston win. Cant really say that cause we would be down 3, but damn Rip is the next Stackhouse.

[bdubya]

Gaaaah. Wanted - one starting power forward who'll get his ass down low when the game's on the line instead of jacking up stupid 3s....

Good game, Spurs. Wanna see you in June, dammit.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i hope you're just kidding right? :rolleyes

the reason he's saying that is cuz Duncan is TERRIBLE at the FT line


in a game where need to hit ft's you obviously want your top 5 ft shooters on the floor


Duncan isn't a logical choice and we all remember the first Phoenix game from earlier in the season.


We don't want a repeat of that happening again.


I just don't understand Pop sometimes

[SequSpur]

Oh my god. These refs have lost their minds. Make the call when it happens.

Bruce Bowen rapes Hamilton and the homers are crying foul...

Bowen could've ruined the whole outcome with that dumb foul.

That wasn't defense, he fuckin tackled him...

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Good game.

[themvp]

Rip is turning into Jerry Stackhouse. If Rip would of made those FT's that would be a Piston win. Cant really say that cause we would be down 3, but damn Rip is the next Stackhouse.

If, if, if...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sequ, I didn't say in the 4th, but he should play more earlier in the game - he hustles, he's good on O, he could improve his D.

What we really need is Chris Duhon. We'd win the champ with him as our backup PG.

[mikejones99]

jesus christ, wild game. i need the dvd

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

SEQU - BS!!! TV had a perfect angle on it, Bowen was holding his ground while Rip was trying to push through him. OPEN YOUR EYES.

[ABDENOUR POWER]

Good game Spurs. :tu

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Okay we got the v-bookie right atleast.

[Lp26]

Gaaaah. Wanted - one starting power forward who'll get his ass down low when the game's on the line instead of jacking up stupid 3s....

Good game, Spurs. Wanna see you in June, dammit.

You and me both. I don't think it was primarily Sheed's fault though. I saw him attempting to post up a few times. It looked the PG/Saunders just called diff plays, but Sheed should call for the damn ball.

Rip is going to known as a choker if he keeps this up :pctoss

[Vinnie_Johnson]

See you guys in June for sure.

[Shelly]

Good game.

:lol at your avatar!!!

Back to the game discussion

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Scrappy game by both teams, terrible reffing, but pulled out the win.

See you next time Pistons fans, hopefully in the Finals! :)

[milkyway21]

the reason he's saying that is cuz Duncan is TERRIBLE at the FT line


okay. but if he's sooo terrible and missed those last 2 FTs like Rip we're in overtime right now.

well....

he's not on the floor for just making FT's he's in there to stop whoever gets into the rim.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Scrappy game by both teams, terrible reffing, but pulled out the win.

See you next time Pistons fans, hopefully in the Finals! :)

See you then Spurs fans good luck untill then. :toast

[ShoogarBear]

i hope you're just kidding right? :rolleyesNot when there's clutch free throws to be made.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I think the Pistons are the Spurs of the East - everyone hates them but their fans are the coolest in the conference, they look good but everyone writes them off. Later guys.

[G-Money]

I hate losses and a loss is a loss and I hate it, but these great teams in Huston, Dallas and SA only beat us by 6,4,1. The Pistons just need to stop digging holes and they can win these games.

[Sense]

I hate losses and a loss is a loss and I hate it, but these great teams in Huston, Dallas and SA only beat us by 6,4,1. The Pistons just need to stop digging holes and they can win these games.

Well it was 1 cuz of the freebie at the end.

[G-Money]

You and me both. I don't think it was primarily Sheed's fault though. I saw him attempting to post up a few times. It looked the PG/Saunders just called diff plays, but Sheed should call for the damn ball.

Rip is going to known as a choker if he keeps this up :pctoss


Like I said Rip=Stackhouse.

[themvp]

What happened to Webber? Only 3pts, 2 reb.

[milkyway21]

i hope the Pistons fans won't take all the blame on Rip. Bec. Webber sucked big tonight, IMO.

[SequSpur]

SEQU - BS!!! TV had a perfect angle on it, Bowen was holding his ground while Rip was trying to push through him. OPEN YOUR EYES.

Ruff..... mcfly....

you can't ride the ball handler at the top...

http://www.uplink.freeuk.com/images/mcfly.jpg

[G-Money]

Well it was 1 cuz of the freebie at the end.


1 or 3 point loss, not a big lead. Im just Pissed Rip missed FT's again. :pctoss

[ShoogarBear]

Bruce Bowen rapes Hamilton and the homers are crying foul...

Bowen could've ruined the whole outcome with that dumb foul.

That wasn't defense, he fuckin tackled him...Let me make this easy.

I did not say there was no foul.

I said the call was late.

(There is one 2-syllable word in all that; ask pseudo if it's giving you trouble.)

[G-Money]

What happened to Webber? Only 3pts, 2 reb.


yes he did. I blame him too, the only ones who came to play was Dyess, Sheed, Delfeno too.

[SequSpur]

Let me make this easy.

I did not say there was no foul.

I said the call was late.

(There is one 2-syllable word in all that; ask pseudo if it's giving you trouble.)

correct... but there are 2 pages of homer bowen whiners crying.

[milkyway21]

Not when there's clutch free throws to be made.so that last 1 FT he made wasn't clutch?

okay i get it now...:dizzy

[G-Money]

But that was a foul on the Spurs when Billups went for 3. They should of called it cause they called those type of fouls on us in the 3rd.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

okay. but if he's sooo terrible and missed those last 2 FTs like Rip we're in overtime right now.

well....

he's not on the floor for just making FT's he's in there to stop whoever gets into the rim.

the problem milky way is that its our ball and our lead with 4 seconds left


with all the pressure on the inbounds play as it is, the last thing we need is to force it into a sketchy FT shooter.

We don't need defense when we're up 4 with 4 secs left we need offense (aka ft's)

When the pistons get the ball back, in this scenario you ALWAYS give up the two....otherwise you have what Manu did to dirk last year and it changes the whole game. If it's a 2 possession game you don't need sketchy ft shooters with 4 secs left.

A tied game is a whole other scenario, but that wasn't the case tonight

[JamStone]

No excuse, but Chris Webber has had the flu. He still stunk it up tonight. And, if he couldn't give better effort, he should have seen even fewer minutes.

Rip has been off with his jumper lately. He has a deep thigh bruise, but again, at this point of the season, everyone has their little knicks and bruises. So, it's no excuse for a 86% free throw shooter to miss both those free throws.

Weird game tonight. Spurs dominate 1st and 3rd. Pistons play much better in the 2nd and 4th. Spurs overall were better and it probably should have been something more like a 10 point win for the Spurs. Pistons played solid defense in the 2nd and 4th, especially McDyess.

[ShoogarBear]

so that last 1 FT he made wasn't clutch?

okay i get it now...:dizzyUhhhhh, he missed the second one.

If Manu had gone 50% his last trip to the line, we'd be in overtime.

[SequSpur]

But that was a foul on the Spurs when Billups went for 3. They should of called it cause they called those type of fouls on us in the 3rd.

That was a 3? I thought it was a pass to McDyess.

Broseph, he didn't touch him, Bu Bu Bu Billups flopped.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

so that last 1 FT he made wasn't clutch?

okay i get it now...:dizzy


it was clutch, but do you REALLY want to take that risk when it comes to ft's

who would you rather have the FT line at the end of the game


an 80% and over set of shooters or the guy who shoots 65% at the line?

[ABDENOUR POWER]

What happened to Webber? Only 3pts, 2 reb.

He was terrible tonight, no doubt about it. After seeing him put up numbers like 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists, performances like this one are a real let down. McDyess stepped up big, though, so the effect of C-Webb's disappearance was kept to a minimum. It hurt not to be able to run the offense through him, but oh well... I don't think it would have changed the outcome of the game.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

It's nice to get the season sweep of the Pistons but how much progress did we really make tonight? The execution down the stretch was pitiful

[mardigan]

Barry looked like he played pretty good from the box score

[ShoogarBear]

I admit it. I have no frigging clue how the Spurs are going to do in the playoffs against the Suns and Mavs. But I'm not getting a warm fuzzy.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

oh and Piston fans, if my spurs don't get to the finals, I'll be rooting for you guys all the way


You've got a great team and I think the Piston fans on here are amongst the best of any fanbase I have seen

props to all of you

[Man Mountain]

It's nice to get the season sweep of the Pistons but how much progress did we really make tonight? The execution down the stretch was pitiful

Well it's actually a plus to have to play some grind it out games like this. In the playoffs, things aren't going to be cakewalks. The Pistons tightened up their D a lot and the Spurs hung on. I think close games are better than blow outs right now.

Weird game, officiating wise. Some really strange calls on both sides.

[dallasmavsnfuego214]

when's the next time you guys are on national TV. i havent seen you guys play in a long time. i thought this game was on TNT.... :bang

[mardigan]

when's the next time you guys are on national TV. i havent seen you guys play in a long time. i thought this game was on TNT.... :bang
I wished it was, Im tired of having to look at gamecast the entire game

[ABDENOUR POWER]

But that was a foul on the Spurs when Billups went for 3. They should of called it cause they called those type of fouls on us in the 3rd.

No it wasn't. Billups tried to get fancy and draw contact to get a whistle, which he does too often. He was anticipating the contact, and when it never came his over-exageration just looked stupid.

I hate it when Billups tries to pull tricks like this. He shoots such a high percentage when he just raises up and shoots a normal shot, but when he tries to get fancy like that, nothing good ever happens.

[ShoogarBear]

The Spurs have asked to be removed from national TV for the rest of the year.

[Man Mountain]

No it wasn't. Billups tried to get fancy and draw a foul get a whistle, which he does too often. He was anticipating the contact, and when it never came he just looked stupid.

I hate it when Billups tries to pull tricks like this. He shoots such a high percentage when he just raises up and shoots a normal shot, but when he tries to get fancy like that, nothing good ever happens.

Parker was so far away from Billups that Billups even tried to kick out at him and didn't even come close to him. :lol

[SequSpur]

I admit it. I have no frigging clue how the Spurs are going to do in the playoffs against the Suns and Mavs. But I'm not getting a warm fuzzy.

They have the tools, they just have a shitty coaching philosopy.

Healthy young players in suits. Proven shittiness on the active roster. Not only that, the shittiness actually gets minutes when the game is on the line in the fourth quarter.

[Lp26]

No excuse, but Chris Webber has had the flu. He still stunk it up tonight. And, if he couldn't give better effort, he should have seen even fewer minutes.

Rip has been off with his jumper lately. He has a deep thigh bruise, but again, at this point of the season, everyone has their little knicks and bruises. So, it's no excuse for a 86% free throw shooter to miss both those free throws.

I remember last year Rip had that ankle sprain and was off. He playedthe most minutes this year and he just seems worn down. Either that or any injury really affects his shot. He needs to sit.

[G-Money]

That was a 3? I thought it was a pass to McDyess.

Broseph, he didn't touch him, Bu Bu Bu Billups flopped.


And like the spurs players didnt flop? Im saying if your going to call stupid fouls on the Pistons, call them on the spurs too.

[ShoogarBear]

Leave it to Sequ to come up with the warm fuzzy.

[spurschick]

when's the next time you guys are on national TV. i havent seen you guys play in a long time. i thought this game was on TNT.... :bang

TNT April 5 vs. Phoenix and ABC April 15 against some other team up North
:drunk

[SequSpur]

Leave it to Sequ to come up with the warm fuzzy.

Sorry, but it's almost the end of March and Pop is still playing Beno. :dizzy

[G-Money]

No it wasn't. Billups tried to get fancy and draw contact to get a whistle, which he does too often. He was anticipating the contact, and when it never came his over-exageration just looked stupid.

again call the foul. we got called for some really shitty calls, they should have been too ;)

[SpursDynasty]

Ok someone tell me why the Spurs aren't ready for the playoffs.

Let's hear it. 15-2 over the last 17.

[ABDENOUR POWER]

And like the spurs players didnt flop? Im saying if your going to call stupid fouls on the Pistons, call them on the spurs too.

Of course Spurs flop too, but thats beside the point. That wasn't a "stupid foul" on the Spurs as you're seeming to imply... it simply wasn't a foul at all.

[Man Mountain]

again call the foul. we got called for some really shitty calls, they should have been too ;)

Oh there were shitty calls on both sides. But that play by Billups was so lame that nobody would have called a foul.

[Tanya]

hey pistons fans, watch this~
it makes you feel better. ^^

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p07GQhBdIPQ

[G-Money]

it was a great game though but Im getting sick of how Pistons rarley beat the good teams. I am bord of them coming close but not close enough. PHX 1-1, Dallas 1-1, Huston 1-1, SA 0-2 :pctoss

[G-Money]

again call the foul on the spurs when Billups is shooting the 3, hes the next Jordan ;)


Im just joking with you people, of course that was a stupid 3(the way he shot it). I wouldnt have called it either.

[spurschick]

hey pistons fans, watch this~

The Pistons don't have to play well to get past the first round in the East.

Did I hear right that the Spurs swept this regular season against the Pistons?

Yes, you heard right. Especially that "Regular season" part. :spin

[ploto]

Unless Tony plays about 44 minutes per game in the play-offs, the Spurs are going to have trouble. As bad as Beno has played, Vaughn sucks even worse. Pop should have decided months ago that the team could better survive ten minutes of Barry at PG with his defense than either of the other guys. After all, it was good enough to win a championship with two years ago. Plus, when you are trying to figure out minutes and you have Manu, Bruce, Brent, and Finley-- give Barry some time at PG.

[ploto]

Crazy and all-- Rasheed Wallace still defends Tim better than anyone else in the NBA does.

[milkyway21]

Crazy and all-- Rasheed Wallace still defends Tim better than anyone else in the NBA does.i agree to that ploto :tu

the Mavs or the Suns in the WC don't have.

[infinite styles]

San Antonio had lost two straight at home to the Pistons going into Friday's matchup.

Is this correct, because I could have sworn that the Spurs won their home matchup against the Pistons in the 04-05 season. The comments left on the ESPN site by fans about the article are hilarious.

vaughn is still playing better than beno. and i don't expect either beno or vaughn to be getting much playing time during the playoffs.

I didn't have time to read the whole thread so maybe this was mentioned and I missed it, but I was wondering, did Nazr greet any of the Spurs guys? I didn't notice that he did, which I thought was kind of weird.

I saw him talking to Bruce and Tim during the shootaround before the arena opened up. He talked to PJ also.

P.S. Thanks for the directions angel...my son had a blast and Bruce is a real cool guy. We had fun.

Here's the only pic I was allowed to take of my son with Bruce.

Like I said before he had a lot of fun and I was excited for him about it being his very first game and all. Only thing was that after every whistle my son would ask "Is it OVER?!" "Is it time to go?!" or "OK I'm ready to go!!" Kids.
