Hornets @ Spurs Game Blog

[Obstructed_View]

Elson's played seven minutes? Whiskey tango foxtrot?

[SAtown]

Is it like illegal to have Brent and Manu play together?

Seems like Pop heard you :smokin

[jman3000]

no cigar... but i like the aggressiveness.

[Man Mountain]

Bowen has been playing awesome D lately. I don't know what you guys are smokin.

His main cover tonight is DMason, who has done nothing.

[ShoogarBear]

Dfense hasnt been that bad. ...theyre contesting shots

no way paul can hit two of thoseAre you kidding? The defense for most of the night has been atrocious.

[Clutch20]

vaugn two timely saves

[jman3000]

sum' bitch... i love when we pick our spots to hit a 3.... but dont fall in love with it.

[Obstructed_View]

Bowen has been playing awesome D lately. I don't know what you guys are smokin.

His main cover tonight is DMason, who has done nothing.
Shh. Spurs are losing. Bowen sucks.

[Man Mountain]

Elson's played seven minutes? Whiskey tango foxtrot?

Did he get hurt?

[mardigan]

Godamn it Manu

[jman3000]

sum' bitch... i love when we pick our spots to hit a 3.... but dont fall in love with it.

[ShoogarBear]

Bowen has been playing awesome D lately. I don't know what you guys are smokin.

His main cover tonight is DMason, who has done nothing.The problem is definitely not Bowen.

Manu, for one, needs to start staying with his man instead of trying for steals.

[Man Mountain]

Shh. Spurs are losing. Bowen sucks.

:lol Okay. I didn't know the system.

[Obstructed_View]

If there were a seven point shot, I have a feeling the Spurs would be chucking them up tonight.

[SAtown]

Holy Shit!!!! Spurs mentality = jack chingos 3s and 1 will fall in. Well, 1 already fell in so they should switch gameplan

[PerforatedNeckline]

manu's putting up antoine walker numbers tonight....1-7 from 3

[jaespur21]

finally we shoot a two pointer

[Admidave50]

Can the Spurs stop shooting 3s?

[jaespur21]

Down 6 SPURS Ball

[ShoogarBear]

Wow, I can't believe that offensive foul call just then on Paul.

[Obstructed_View]

Dirk's back for warmups for the second half. Next point he gets is 15,000. He's on the floor.

[Pugglekicker_21]

Momentum swings slightly to the Spurs.....

[jaespur21]

Holy Shit!!!! Spurs mentality = jack chingos 3s and 1 will fall in. Well, 1 already fell in so they should switch gameplan

Guess they play NBA live

[doldrums]

The only plus for Manu this game is that he has 7 assists

[jman3000]

hopefully we go back to duncan for a bit and get it to a 1 possession game. falling in love with jumpers when you're down by 6 or so points is dangerous.

[Obstructed_View]

Well at this point I guess they need to keep jacking them up. Probablility states they have to start going in here before too long.

Dirk played for a minute and is going back to the locker room.

[Man Mountain]

The only plus for Manu this game is that he has 7 assists

Yeah he's passing well. Just his D and shooting is subpar.

I still have faith he'll hit some key shots before it's over though.

[aaronstampler]

Manu shoot lay off the 3s for a while and concentrate on getting free throws and assists.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

hopefully we can tighten up the D and go on a tear

[jman3000]

duncan back in... here we go.

[Obstructed_View]

So what's wrong with having Duncan and Elson on the floor at the same time? I'm confused, here.

[Pugglekicker_21]

4th...crunch time....Manu time...nah, its crunch time. Nevermind its Barry time!

[SpursDynasty]

The Assassin just hit the momentum changing 3 pointer to make it 77-74.

[aaronstampler]

Finley in for Manu. We'll get the same bricks from three, but lose the passing.

[jman3000]

drive you bitches.

[SAtown]

Here Come the Spurs nacos!!

[Admidave50]

Finally a 3 pointer made!! GO SPURS GO

[Obstructed_View]

All the effort is for naught if they can't secure a defensive board or two.

[ShoogarBear]

Shit, Barry!

[Pugglekicker_21]

Damn mentality issues. Damn you!

[ShoogarBear]

Holy shit, Vaughn boxes out David West!

[Darkwaters]

Nice box out by Vaughn!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Jacque's earning his money tonight.

[Pugglekicker_21]

3 points come on.....where's the veteran leadership?

[SpursDynasty]

The Assassin with another 3 to tie it!

The good thing about SA: We have someone to hit that key momentum changing shot if someone else is having an off night.

[SAtown]

Barry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 :downspin:

[SpursFanFirst]

Yeah!!!!!!

[ShoogarBear]

The only one who should be chucking 3s is Brent.

[jman3000]

aslfjskdfjasd;jflkasjdflkjasl;fjasdl;fjalsjfas

[Leetonidas]

Brent's on fire.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

TIMEOUT HORNETS


TIMEOUTTTTTTT



tied at 77!!! barry for 3!!

[Admidave50]

YES! Let's beat this team! come on

[Pugglekicker_21]

It's in the form of Brent Barry!!!!!!!!!!


3333333

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

3 points come on.....where's the veteran leadership?

It's making its fourth three of the night.

[mardigan]

Thank God for Brent

[ShoogarBear]

Jacque's earning his money tonight.He's earning his money and your money.

[Man Mountain]

:lol @ Bowen leading the Spurs in rebounding

[jman3000]

barry doing his best rasual butler impression.

even if NO scores here, as long as it's within 1 possession i like our chances.

[SpursDynasty]

Brent Barry = the Hornet Killer

[ShoogarBear]

The only one who should be chucking 3s is Brent.And Tim.

[mardigan]

Bucks up 8 on the Mavs

[ShoogarBear]

:lol @ Bowen leading the Spurs in reboundingThat's very very sad and concerning.

[Obstructed_View]

And Tim.
They showed that at halftime. That was a nice shot.

[SpursFanFirst]

C'mon Boys!!!!!

[ShoogarBear]

What a FUCKING PASS by Vaughn!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

finley for 3!!!!!!


major props to vaughn tonight!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

[mardigan]

[jman3000]

fuck... nevermind what i said about not shooting 3's...

[Leetonidas]

Dang, the Spurs are making them but relying too much on the three

[SAtown]

Fuck yeah. THis is like the Portland game all over again, and Sean is laughing after every three

[ShoogarBear]

Or was it?

[mardigan]

I fucking hate Pargo

[jman3000]

dont say he's made both his freethrows you douche...

[jman3000]

fuck i knew it.

[SAtown]

Why are you posting nWo pics?

[Admidave50]

MAn, Tim must hit his free throws!

[Pugglekicker_21]

mardigan...why Ken Hamlin?

[Obstructed_View]

:lol
fuck i knew it.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

[mardigan]

[Pugglekicker_21]

Finley!!!!

[ShoogarBear]

A-roof-roof-roof-roof-roof!!!

[SAtown]

Finley!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jman3000]

[Admidave50]

It's raining 3333333333333333!!!

[mardigan]

mardigan...why Ken Hamlin?
He is the Cowboys savior, just watch

[Obstructed_View]

Told ya.

[Clutch20]

what a sequence!

[jman3000]

that's... 2 for finley... 2 for barry in this quarter... does bowen have one?

[SpursDynasty]

lmao, NWO.

So like I said before, Michael Finley = Option #4 for the playoffs.

Barry/Finley > Jordan/Pippen

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Actually, I think Vaughn looks like Michael Jace (The Shield).

http://www.tvguide.com/images/pgimg/michael-jace1.jpg

[AFBlue]

score?

[Obstructed_View]

fucking a.... i think we only have like 3 points this quarter that aren't 3's....
Looks like five, including Timmy's free throw.

[SAtown]

Spurs 84- 82 3:58 remaining in reg

[Clutch20]

JVaughn sipping at the fountain of youth

[Admidave50]

Where is TP??

[ShoogarBear]

84-82 Spurs 3:58 left

[gilmor]

Finley in for Manu. We'll get the same bricks from three, but lose the passing.

Looks like aaron got to eat his own words
:lol

[mardigan]

Bowen with 9 boards

[Amuseddaysleeper]

lol tim reacts like a little girl sometimes

[jman3000]

fuck me.

[Clutch20]

[ShoogarBear]

Brent is scaring me. Shoot the ball, dude!

[Clutch20]

[mardigan]

Paul with 5 fouls

[Amuseddaysleeper]

29 pts for TD 1 of 2 from the line

85-82 SA 3:30 left in the game

[Pugglekicker_21]

Frsh Parker for the last 4 mins.... just realized there's a couple of Wake Forest alumni in this game. Tim I knew, then I got to thinking about Paul, and it hit me.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

wow

what an amazing lob from paul

god damn

[ShoogarBear]

Bucks and Mavs are tied now.

[mardigan]

85-84 Spurs

West is kiiling us

[Admidave50]

Bring the D!!

[mardigan]

85-84?
Yep

[Amuseddaysleeper]

shit

where the F has TP been all game?

[SpursDynasty]

Why are the Hornets acting like they're supposed to win this game?

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Is David West actually this good? Or is he just having a career type night.

[SAtown]

Why are the Hornets acting like they're supposed to win this game?

Because you said they are supposed to win. :smokin

[aaronstampler]

Pop gonna put Manu back in or what?

[Budkin]

Crunch time... Spurs better pull this shit out... it's my birthday dammit!

[mardigan]

Why are the Hornets acting like they're supposed to win this game?
Probably because you jinxed us somehow

[mardigan]

Is David West actually this good? Or is he just having a career type night.
No, hes pretty damn good

[Clutch20]

sometimes playing hornets reminds me of trying to cut down an oak tree with a dull axe......

[SAtown]

Crunch time... Spurs better pull this shit out... it's my birthday dammit!

Happy b-day

[Darkwaters]

Is David West actually this good? Or is he just having a career type night.

No, hes really good. Hes the team's leading scorer (and was last year as well). He came in second last year in MIP voting.

[Admidave50]

Is there a timeout now?

[Clutch20]

Crunch time... Spurs better pull this shit out... it's my birthday dammit!
HAPPY B-DAY!!

[mardigan]

Paul is pissing me off

[pking]

Happy Birthday!!

[AFBlue]

score?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

happy birthday budkin


it would REALLY suck to lose this game

[SAtown]

88 - 87 NO, 1:42 left in reg, Spurs ball

[nkdlunch]

score?

[aaronstampler]

Pop took out Bowen? That's surprising. I'd figure it would be Brent or Fin

[mardigan]

88-87 Hornets

[jman3000]

as much as i'd like to see tony foul paul out... i'd rather see tim play the inside out with our shooters.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

No, hes really good. Hes the team's leading scorer (and was last year as well). He came in second last year in MIP voting.

I hate to say this, but his soft hands and touch around the rim reminds me a little of Timmy.

[nkdlunch]

seriously??? WTF

[Amuseddaysleeper]

ugh


take it to the hole you morons

[Clutch20]

don't even breathe..............
1:20 remaining.............

[mardigan]

Hornets ball

[SAtown]

Barry misses 3, Tim taps ball outta bouds, NO leads 88-87, 1 minute left, Spurs ball

[mardigan]

Lets Go Boys

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Nice pass, Tony.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

oh my god parker blows so bad

[mardigan]

Fuck!

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Was that Ronde Barber in the secondary? No wait, that was Finley.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

[jackiel1219]

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

[Leetonidas]

FUCK YEAH BARRY!!!

Woooooooooooooooooo!!!

[Clutch20]

gotdam icewater runs thru barry's veins

[pking]

oh my god parker blows so bad

HUH??

Ahh, I wish I could see the game.

[jman3000]

i think it moved a bit.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

spurs up 89-87 17 secs left

hornets timeout

[Admidave50]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
Barry is the man in the 4th

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Damn, Bones!

[mardigan]

Thank God for Barry, he is making up for Tony and Manu playing like shit

[aaronstampler]

WHOOOOO!!!! Play defense guys!

[TMTTRIO]

hey did anyone see this last night on their preview segment. It scared me for a minute until I realized it was untrue even though Manu was terrible tonight.

http://www.nola.com/sports/t-p/index...200.xml&coll=1
Notable: The Spurs have clinched their eighth consecutive 50-win season. . . . Spurs forward Robert Horry sat out Monday's game with a strained stomach muscle. . . . San Antonio's reserves have averaged 62 points in the past two games. . . . The Spurs defeated the Seattle SuperSonics by a 41 points Sunday. . . . San Antonio shooting guard Manu Ginobili went on the inactive list Monday after injuring his lower back.

[jman3000]

n/m .... fuck barry with 5 threes... 3 of em in the 4th...


hopefully we can play some fucking defense for 17 seconds.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

HUH??

Ahh, I wish I could see the game.


I'm just pissed


parker had a horrible turnover in crunch time

but luckily we got the ball back and barry hit the 3 ball to give us the 2 point lead with 17 secs left

[mardigan]

HUH??

Ahh, I wish I could see the game.
He is playing so bad

[Please_dont_ban_me]

17 seconds

[Obstructed_View]

Bucks up 82-75 on Dallas.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

17.6 secs left exactly

hornets ball

[Clutch20]

no hesitation, barry shoots 3 ptr, cold......

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

SA 90-88.

17.6 sec.

[SAtown]

NO ball, 17.6 remaining, 90-88 Spurs

[mardigan]

Lets see what happens

[Obstructed_View]

Vaughn in for Parker.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

plz no 3

[bonesinaz]

Bucks up 5 over mavs near end of 3rd.

[SAtown]

Fuck, 5.1 left, NO ball, still Spurs by 2

[Please_dont_ban_me]

yessssssss

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, Bowen's defense sucks.

[pking]

Ah, I see. Just kinda weird to see a Spurs fan say that Parker sucks :lol

[mardigan]

5.1 seconds, Hornets ball

[SAtown]

Vaughn with HUGE rebound, foul on NO, Spurs pretty much with WIN

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Finley at the line. GAME OVER

[Amuseddaysleeper]

vaughn for M fucking VP!

[aaronstampler]

Just don't give up a 3 please

[mardigan]

1.2 seconds, Vaughn to the line

[ShoogarBear]

Boy, that was more sucky defense by Bowen.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

vaughn for M fucking VP!

QFT.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

By Finley I meant Vaughn.

[Clutch20]

big screwin hairy hair pulling last f'kn 24 secs.!!!

[jman3000]

nice game... hopefully we can ice it with these ft's...

also great to see the spurs go from 12 down in the 3rd to get this one.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Up by 4. One second left. Game all but over.

[mardigan]

Makes both free throws, game over

[nkdlunch]

damn Barry saved us.

are Manu or Tony injured?

[Admidave50]

yes! it's a wrap! 92-88 with 1.2 sec

[SAtown]

Good win considering we started 4th down by 9 and bricking 3s like an Eastern Conference team

[gilmor]

Why can't we live all in harmony.. Parker and Manu may have some off-games but they are all good.. Finley and Barry may suck some times but they have some good games in them still..

[SpursDynasty]

51-20.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

nice game... hopefully we can ice it with these ft's...

also great to see the spurs go from 12 down in the 3rd to get this one.

You're telling me.

My doorbell rang at the end of the 3rd. I got back, and the Spurs are up 84-80. Great win.

[sprrs]

Ah, I see. Just kinda weird to see a Spurs fan say that Parker sucks :lol

Spend a little more time here, you'll get used to it.

[Obstructed_View]

Way to go JV.

[Clutch20]

JVaugn Christmas ornaments to go on preChristmas sale tomorrow at Target I'm gonna get a box set!

[SAtown]

damn Barry saved us.

are Manu or Tony injured?

Someone posted earlier that Manu had some back problems, but yeah, he is sucking hard tonight

[bdictjames]

Its a comeback win, I hope we'll play better in the next game. Reminds me of the time we played the Clippers a few weeks ago then we lose, unexpectedly, to Milwaukee and Boston.

[mardigan]

Good win considering we started 4th down by 9 and bricking 3s like an Eastern Conference team
Thnks for that shit SA Town

[Amuseddaysleeper]

finley was another unsung hero for the game

[phyzik]

vbookie here I come...

[aaronstampler]

phew... too close for comfort. For the record, I don't think Manu played like total shit. He shot very poorly, but at least he finished with more points than FGA and he did have the 7 dimes.

But yeah, Vaughn, Timmy and Brent basically won the game for us.

[Obstructed_View]

Woo hoo.

[SAtown]

Thnks for that shit SA Town

:tu Anytime

[SpursFanFirst]

WHEW! That was tough to sit through!!!

[jman3000]

kind of a relieve after 2 40 point wins... nice to have a game leave me on the edge of my seat.

[SpursDynasty]

Brent Barry > Michael Jordan

[Man Mountain]

phew... too close for comfort. For the record, I don't think Manu played like total shit. He shot very poorly, but at least he finished with more points than FGA and he did have the 7 dimes.

But yeah, Vaughn, Timmy and Brent basically won the game for us.

In addition to shooting poorly, Manu sucked defensively. Tony played horrible all around.

But you are right. Tim, Brent and Vaughn won the game.

[Admidave50]

Nice 4th quarter by the Spurs! We were down 9 pts at the end of the 3rd!

Go Spurs Go!

Btw 84-81 for the Bucks vs Mavs in the 4th

[aaronstampler]

I'm glad they finally won a close game like this. A bunch of times at home they've been down all game, fought back to tie in the 4th and ran out of gas. Good to see them get over the hump

[mardigan]

:tu Anytime
Now put it on the futball match!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

In addition to shooting poorly, Manu sucked defensively. Tony played horrible all around.

But you are right. Tim, Brent and Vaughn won the game.

add finley to that list


he had some crucial plays and some very nice shooting

[Obstructed_View]

Smallball + a streak of three pointers = a squeaked out win against a bad team.

[SAtown]

Now put it on the futball match!

haha, don't worry man, i've been watching soccer all day, with EuroCup qualification, to tonight Mexico game. :drunk

[jaespur21]

Good game ...glad i didnt work tonight

[aaronstampler]

Pop gives up on Elson, Bonner and Fab way too quickly. I don't get why we went small the entire second half. We were only down five.

[gilmor]

What matters most is Spurs win!! Get over Manu and Parker!! Brent and MFinley playing well.. look at the bright sides of things.. then we all will be happier..

[boutons_]

Is Tony still hurtin?

[Clutch20]

I predicted 92-72 Spurs, thinking the D was gonna be on tonight. The D switch was turned on later part of the game but I got Spurs score ok.
I really didn't expect Hornets to score that much on us, well it's a win.

[ShoogarBear]

Gold stars to Tim early, and Brent, Jacque, and Findog late.

Finley also had the defensive play of the game. You don't get to say that too often.

[Man Mountain]

Is Tony still hurtin?

I don't think so. I think he just had a bad night.

[mardigan]

Mavs and Bucks tied, 9 minutes in the 4th

[boutons_]

Spurs outshot, outRB'd, outBS'd, out FT'd, outSTL'd but win with 11/28!! 3Gs.

[Clutch20]

Whoever picked out the "box-out" by Vaughn as a game stopper was right on the money, that is being discussed right now on postgame.

[BUMP]

After the Mavs win last night


Anybody can beat the Hornets.

now he acts like its a big deal :lol

[aaronstampler]

I'm glad we got the win but the team will have to play MUCH better on Friday to beat Utah. I think those back to back games against atrocious defensive clubs made us relax too much tonight. Defense really had to bear down in the second half once they realized we weren't having 35 point quarters offensively.

[aaronstampler]

but yeah I hope Pop kind of calls out both Manu and Tony tonight. They were both soft defensively, Tony wasn't into the game at all at either end and Manu is way too 3 pointer happy these days.

[Clutch20]

Spurs outshot, outRB'd, outBS'd, out FT'd, outSTL'd but win with 11/28!! 3Gs.
Winning with 3's scares me, we've been doing that lately.
But TDunc's 31 pts. brings some respectability to the game.
It's scares me that we don't choke up treys late in the game so much lately, but as long as it goes along with Tim's big pt. production I'll live with it.
It's like playing for big bucks with somebody else's dice.............

[Budkin]

Thanks for all the bday wishes! The Spurs won! Yeah! :spin

[Clutch20]

Thanks for all the bday wishes! The Spurs won! Yeah! :spin
happy Bday, shit, I aged 2 years tonight! :lol

[Clutch20]

but yeah I hope Pop kind of calls out both Manu and Tony tonight. They were both soft defensively, Tony wasn't into the game at all at either end and Manu is way too 3 pointer happy these days.
Pop says they hung in there, credits Barry and Vaughn but gives Vaughn more props. Then he touches on Barry stepping up on his ice cold drain of trey.
Says also that Timmy was a real horse, doing all the yeoman work and fighting inside.
Asked if he felt good he said he felt good.
Humourously adds that he saw 2 refs signal T's so he took off! :spin

[Pugglekicker_21]

Hope the Spurs dont get manhandled on the boards againt Utah.

[YODA]

Is it just me or is the Spurs game plan looking more like an Outside/ inside game vr a inside/ outside game. Come on....28 3 point attempts ?? sheesh. when you shoot close to 30% of your shots as 3 point attempts makes for a cause of concern to me. Am I the only one to notice this? IF i were evaluting the Spurs Game plan, Id let them shoot all the 3's they wanted and just concentrate on pouding the interior. Seems the best way to beat the Spurs to me. Heck,,,Id let any team try to beat me with the 3 point attempts. Ill take my chances any day.
On aNOTHER note, Its good to see Finely attempt something else then 3's. Im seeing him finally make a few drives and even some mid range jumpers. LEts hope its not a short time.

Yoda
