Gameblog - Spurs vs Sonics

[bdictjames]

47 minutes more to go.

Cant believe no one has started this yet.

Allen is out for the season, should put Bowen on Ridnour, I hope this is an easy game.

GO SPURS GO! :toast

[spyder]

GO SPURS GO...kick seattles arse :ihit :flag: :flag:

[wildbill2u]

Teams without their stars often play over their heads while the favored team gets the blahs. Let's hope we come to work tonight with our heads screwed on right.

[bdictjames]

Kinda reminds me of the NJ-Charlotte game. Bobcats were without May, D.A., Felton, Okafor and Wallace yet they still made the game close. Hope we dont blow this one.

[SAtown]

Go Spurs Go :downspin:

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Easy Spurs win tonight I say by 12 points easy.

[maldita21]

go spurs!!!

hope manu will have a good game ....

GO SPURS GO! :toast

prolly most people who would start it went to the gtg.

[SAtown]

Why don't the damn Southwest Airlines 3 pt contestants ever pick Brent Barry as the first to make the 3? :bang

[Pugglekicker_21]

I hate West Coast Games.

[SpursDynasty]

Sonics will make a lot of shots that they shouldn't make - Like in 2004-2005 all season. Spurs need to shut them out and put them away early.

[SAtown]

I hate West Coast Games.

I don't mind this 8 pm start, I hate the 9:30 ones

[SAtown]

Barry for 3

[bdictjames]

prolly most people who would start it went to the gtg.
That sucks. Less bitching tonight, just doesn't feel normal. :lol

[Pugglekicker_21]

Yeah the 9:30 ones make the next day shit for me from the lack of sleep.

[SpursDynasty]

What's a GTG?

[bdictjames]

Defense, please.

[bdictjames]

And1 play by Tony!!! The Detroit game must have woken him up!

[SpursDynasty]

When did Rasho join Seattle?

[Pugglekicker_21]

What's a GTG?


Here's a wild guess. I always thought they were a get together thing. where people from ST meet at a certain place to watch the Spurs, hang out, etc.

[bdictjames]

When did Rasho join Seattle?
I've heard about you. What kind of question is that?

[mookie2001]

n00000000000000000bs

[Vinnie_Johnson]

This game is going over they are both running and gunning.

[Clutch20]

spurs to start dictating tempo to halfcourt maybe.....

whathahell is wilcox trying to do?

[SAtown]

bullshit foul on Bruce, they whistled that shit waaay before

[Clutch20]

anybody wanna start a ref's school with me.........

[SpursDynasty]

Spurs should win tonight especially since Seattle doesn't have Jay Allen tonight.

[powerpower]

who was fouled by petro

[gilmor]

Spurs should win tonight especially since Seattle doesn't have Jay Allen tonight.

Hey MOFO.. just Shut the Fuck up

[Clutch20]

sonics out of sync, spurs defense the culprit gotta be

[SAtown]

Spurs should win tonight especially since Seattle doesn't have Jay Allen tonight.

[Clutch20]

finley fall away=2

[Clutch20]

32-23 Spurs

[Clutch20]

lol, announcers used to bonner scoring now, they delayed acknowledging his 2 pt'er

[Clutch20]

Finley wins what? a facemask? what does he win?
tha tip. :lol

[Clutch20]

if you notice, manu most of time he has possession he's had 2 players on him and around basket he gets 3 but your're right, he's not loose, kinda tight

[Clutch20]

bonner stripped

[Clutch20]

shit.....crickets...........

[itzsoweezee]

damn, 10 spurs players have already scored

[Clutch20]

manu takes a step in the right direction!

[BeerIsGood!]

damn, these game threads suck now a days

[powerpower]

well he forced one of the threesss but he is being aggressive

[Clutch20]

boo birds!!!!!
hometown hate to hometown team

[SAtown]

Fucking Manu!!! with a nice soccer move

[Clutch20]

suckedness, crickets, the main rowdies are drinking over at the GTG

[01Snake]

damn, these game threads suck now a days

There is a GTG tonight in SA. Perhaps this is why its dead in here.

[Clutch20]

spurs fighting for rebounds maybe they got money on the side for the most rebounds they do that sometimes don't they?

[Clutch20]

shit, sometimes I hate the way the boys bring the ball upcourt real lazy like when they have a big lead, it's like you can see they lose their intensity and leave the door open

[spurastic]

Hope that Horry will be okay. He's out rest of this game.

[Clutch20]

who's the dreadlocks sonics guy?

[shelshor]

boo birds!!!!!
hometown hate to hometown team
Watching the Soniks feed--Lennie Wilkins sounds like he wishes the Spurs were his team
He even praised Oberto so much when he was in, I had to wonder if he'd like to have him too

[SAtown]

Mickael Gelabale He's from France

[Clutch20]

was it his head that was hit? by an elbow or forearm?

[Clutch20]

Mickael Gelabale He's from France
thanks

[SAtown]

I forgot they had Mike Wilks

[Kobulingam]

Kobe with 17. 3minutes left in FIRST QUARTER

[Kobulingam]

Kobe is sick

[Clutch20]

Kobe with 17. 3minutes left in FIRST QUARTER
think he'll ever beat Iceman's 33 pt. record for a period?

[SAtown]

Good D from Elson on Ridnour, falling right on his ass

[Clutch20]

shit abdominal contusion, Horry
I thought he got hit on his head

[shelshor]

shit abdominal contusion, Horry
I thought he got hit on his head
Prolly the play when Wilcox got called for the charge

[Admidave50]

how are the spurs playing so far?

[Clutch20]

Prolly the play when Wilcox got called for the charge
yeah, that's the one that put him out then, is Wilcox still playing?
Good D at the buzzer Spurs

[Clutch20]

like I was afraid of, they had a big lead, the last one I was aware of was 15 or more then Sonics really got active, probably a reaction from hometown fans pointing out their suckedness, and the lead fell to eleven before Duncan 2 and then the good D making it tough for sonics to make basket just before the buzzer at end of half.

Sorry for the half ass, it's been a long day!

[shelshor]

yeah, that's the one that put him out then, is Wilcox still playing?
Good D at the buzzer Spurs
Wilcox went off to get examined right after the play

[Clutch20]

Wilcox went off to get examined right after the play
Wilcox's layup looked awkward and topheavy, Horry almost always has a good stance when accepting a charge it was unfortunate for both players.

Outta the blue, but what's with that little cough Tony does alot when he's down on the floor under the basket after a hard fall? Is he clearing out his lungs? I don't see other's doing what he does after they fall or maybe I haven't noticed.

[Clutch20]

bruce 3!
tech on wilkens slammin ball on scorer's table
barry hits the T

[spurastic]

The minute I read about Tony's cough, I realized that I, too, have seen him do that. Who knows? To get his breath back? A secret message to Eva? A good omen habit?

[Clutch20]

good D Spurs
Bruce nother 3 ptr!

[spurastic]

Bowen has been hitting tonight!!!! Maybe his back is better.

[Clutch20]

a gimme for that weak call on Elson, sonics turnover

[Clutch20]

somebody buy bruce a sixpack!

[Clutch20]

maybe timmy needs a facemask, he's gotten scratched around his eyes area alot this past month but what would that look like?

[Admidave50]

Timmy close to his double double with 9 pts 9 rbd

[Clutch20]

dam, nothing but black and silver getiing defensive rebounds!!!

[shelshor]

maybe timmy needs a facemask, he's gotten scratched around his eyes area alot this past month but what would that look like?
Or the Kareem goggles?

[Clutch20]

oops homerism, sonics lead rebounds 26-21

[Clutch20]

Or the Kareem goggles?
Yeah, goggles, bet Timmy has swimming goggles somewhere.

[Clutch20]

65-51 Spurs
5:49 3rd
Manu 3 changes the score

[Clutch20]

Ginobili 3!

[shelshor]

Wonder what Ridnour is gonna do when he notices he's the only Sonik hustling

[Clutch20]

Spurs 20 pt. lead
76-56 with 2:37 left in the 3rd

................and the crickets applaud!

[Clutch20]

Wonder what Ridnour is gonna do when he notices he's the only Sonik hustling
sorry shelshor, my post came a little late!

Nah, Ridnour I always like to see cause he's a bundle of enery but when he had that big mop of curly hair, that was when he really looked busy.

[conversekid]

spurs must be bored

[Clutch20]

Ridnour rides again.......

[conversekid]

go red rocket

[Clutch20]

sheeee, refs finally calling a goaltend
and no shot for seattle at buzzer
end of 3rd
81-65 Spurs

[Clutch20]

go red rocket
Bonner, I once joked that he was Manu with red hair but really he's carved out a place and personality for himself, his confidence is really amazing and gonna come in handy, doesn't back down from any challenge and chooses his shots better.
I just like Bonner, good that he has the skills to go along with his super personality.

[Clutch20]

Bonner hard foul on Wilcox, Elliot concurs that Bonner can be tough.

[boutons_]

Warriors also playing tonight, so both teams in b2b tomorrow night.

Warriors 61 - 65 Lakers @half, lotsa scoring.

[shelshor]

spurs must be bored
They do have to save some energy for the Warriors tomorrow night

[Clutch20]

red rocket 3!!!!!!

[Clutch20]

Look at bonner, sweat pouring down his face, guns loaded and ready for another shot. Looking at him you wouldn't think it if you didn't know him...........

[conversekid]

caught duncan by surprise with that pass..

[Clutch20]

manu to timmy, 2.......

[conversekid]

nice pass! ... go black!

[ShoogarBear]

LMAO, does Barry really have 7 shots in 8 minutes?

[conversekid]

man, tim should have made that... that pass from barry was nice... woulda been highlite material

[ShoogarBear]

Shit, Fortson in. Pull the starters.

[conversekid]

vaughn for 2... big fat fortson in the game

[conversekid]

yup, with danny in... time to pull tim... danny is a chaep player.

[Clutch20]

some good sequences by spurs, 2nd efforts, helpouts, finding the open guy, if these are for real and become regular things they do every game, then they are definately on their way for May/June peak.

[conversekid]

nice steal by vaugh and finish! shoulda been a foul

[leemajors]

give ely some minutes!

[Clutch20]

nice steal by vaugh and finish! shoulda been a foul
I wish I wouda kept count, I think Spurs had a lot of steals tonite, Vaughn had a couple earlier

[powerpower]

manu had 3 steals, finley/elson with 2

[Admidave50]

J Vaughn is on FIRE§

[Admidave50]

wow, the spurs are rollin in the 4th! Hope they can keep the Sonics below 80 pts!!

[Clutch20]

Bonner's shot........does he have a different release on it, a twist of some kind?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

wow Manu took 9 three point attempts? No wonder why his FG percentage has been erratic.

Looks like this was a good defensive game, today ??

[ShoogarBear]

Fortson hasn't played since Jan. 5th, according to the Sonic announcers.

And you thought Pop had a doghouse.

[powerpower]

wow Manu took 9 three point attempts? No wonder why his FG percentage has been erratic.

[Clutch20]

[Clutch20]

120-79
Biggest margin of the Year

[resistanze]

Damn the bench is playing well. Dunno if I should attribute that to their play or to Seattle's shittiness.

[conversekid]

spus win by 41

[J.T.]

Total Domination.

[conversekid]

obviously the spurs will sweep the mavs ;)

[Admidave50]

Nice win with 7 players in double figures! Is it the highest poing scored in a quarter this year?

[boutons_]

wow, 39 pts in 4th qtr on the road??

[Clutch20]

JVaugn POG

[conversekid]

it all started when pop put in the rocket

[shelshor]

Damn the bench is playing well. Dunno if I should attribute that to their play or to Seattle's shittiness.
Or Boob Hill's coaching
Or all of the above

[Clutch20]

shit Bruce quoted giving the dreaded 110% effort tonight
man, save that for May/June!

[conversekid]

it's the rocket... he is the lucky rabbit's foot

[SAtown]

Why is Ray Allen on Bruce's lap in the post game show?

[Clutch20]

Why is Ray Allen on Bruce's lap in the post game show?
who's yo daddy, rayray

[SPURS vs NBA media]

Why is Ray Allen on Bruce's lap in the post game show?

:elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant

[conversekid]

spurs may have run away with this... but i hate the high 3 point attempts...

[conversekid]

with horry down... maybe bonner will get more minutes

[efrem1]

Shoulda save some of those threes for the GS game tomorrow. Nice win.

[Budkin]

I missed the game tonight but just checked the box score. Holy assrape Batman!!! :lmao

[SequSpur]

bandwagoners...

[mikejones99]

could have been the last time San Antonio Spurs play in Seattle. great finish. Starbux killed sonic basketball

[LEONARD]

What's a GTG?

:lol :lol :lol :lol

Something the #1 Spurs jinx will never be invited to :cry

[boutons_]

Elson an incredible no show in 26 minutes:

Good: 1 BLK 1 AST, 5 PT

Bad: 1 RB, 2 TO, 4 PF

Looks like he's not on the SPAM bandwagon

He was badly out rebounded by Michael, Oberto, Matt in much fewer minutes.

WTF was he doing out there for 26 minutes?
