Round 1, Game 2: Spurs vs Nuggets Official Game Blog Thread

[Kori Ellis]

Small ball lineup.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Much better by Tim, no hesitation.

On the line to shoot two.

30-26 Spurs.

[Spurs Brazil]

Legal Grande

[Spurs Brazil]

Small ball lineup.

Because Elson sucks

[hitmanyr2k]

Nene killed Duncan on that block. Looked clean.

[aaronstampler]

So a person can reference last year, but not two years ago?

How selective of you.

Well recent performance is more likely a predictor of future performance than past performance, is it not?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yup, I'm all for Oberto to play and Elson to sit.

[GrandeDavid]

Nene esta me preocupando, esta jogando bem...ele e o fator X neste series, segundo Pop.

[Cara De Dedão]

BS call.

[Otaku]

SpursBrazil, 'tou escutando, muito obrigado pela dica!


You could be watching it hehehe....

[bigfish22]

I think we're seeing typical playoff Melo!


CHOKER

[mardigan]

Great pass Tony

[Spurs Brazil]

TD with 3blks

[howbouthemspurs]

Duncan dunkin

[Samr]

announcers describing the Spurs singing happy birthday to duncan:

"everyone stands around in a circle and james white just belts it out"

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TP to Tim. Nice! :)

[GrandeDavid]

Spurs shooting 36%, Denver 29%.

[Spurs Brazil]

2PF on TD

[hitmanyr2k]

So Duncan does remember how to dunk a basketball.

[jackiel1219]

Timmy with 2 fouls

[mardigan]

CHOKER

STFU. Don't speak too soon, seriously.

Nene travelled on that one.

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto in for Finley

[mardigan]

Beerrrtttyyy!!!! He is kicking ass

[Samr]

NBA playoffs: Elson disappears, Oberto remembers how to play

Fair trade as I see it

[hitmanyr2k]

Bullshit foul on Bruce. Anthony just flopped and threw his arm out :lol

[mullet]

who was that bald guy they just showed holding back pop?

[bigfish22]

He fouled himself on his own shot. He was out of control REF!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Where is their interior D tonight? Camby has disappeared, and nene can't stop Tim. Complete reverse of last game.

[GrandeDavid]

I'm so proud of Fab this series! He's nutting up and showing some heart. Finley, too.

[aaronstampler]

I'm concerned that AI and Melo are a combined 4-20 and our lead is so small. We should be up 15+.

[mardigan]

I'm concerned that AI and Melo are a combined 4-20 and our lead is so small. We should be up 15+.
Its exactly reversed from last game

[easjer]

God these announcers suck. I have no idea who has how many fouls and what is happening. They'd rather talk about what happened two plays ago. So TD with 2 and BB with 2 now?

[GrandeDavid]

You could be watching it hehehe....

Otaku, can you please do me a favor and post the link to the Spurs game at that site. I couldn't find it! Thanks in advance!!

[01Snake]

"That was a pocket pass". Shut it Fratello. :lol

[nkdlunch]

Oberto thinks he's back in Europe, nice.

Elson is worthless.

Everyone else playing pretty good, except not shooting too well.

[jackiel1219]

God these announcers suck. I have no idea who has how many fouls and what is happening. They'd rather talk about what happened two plays ago. So TD with 2 and BB with 2 now?

They are showing the game on FSN

[GrandeDavid]

Any Argentinians in the house?

[01Snake]

Its sunny at my house yet they are showing night shots in downtown SA? Hmmmm?? :lol

[easjer]

Live in Houston, so it's blacked out here on FSN. : (

[T Park]

ESPN.com is gonna rue the day they fucked with me like this

[bigfish22]

Ball Don't Lie!

[GrandeDavid]

Oberto thinks he's back in Europe, nice.

Elson is worthless.

Everyone else playing pretty good, except not shooting too well.

I'm pretty surprised at the awful shooting two games in a row at home. Denver gave up around 103 per in the regular season!

[RashoFan]

TNT is showing the LIFE Tower in downtown and it is dark in the picture....They should have done a live shot...it is still light outside.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Back to Manu - karl has definitely worked out how to nullify him by clogging the lane and making other players beat him. I wanna see Tim and manu playing together for periods...

[ATXSPUR]

three!!!!!!

[jackiel1219]

barry for 3

[aaronstampler]

barry!

[T Park]

Barry!!

You Actually Maybe Have A Pair!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Barry 3333333333333333

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan is all kinds of worthless on the boards right now.

[T Park]

These fucking offensive rebounds are just recockulis.

[Spurs Brazil]

2PF on Bruce

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Barry for a nice 3.

TP layup.

Spurs 41-30.

Keep it up, men!

[T Park]

fucking refs are riding bowen's ass.

Fan fucking tastic.

Gauranteed that Anthony has that little bitch wince on his face "mannnn that bowen dude be holdin me mannnnn"

[aaronstampler]

Good foul by Brent. Great effort.

[Tek_XX]

Good hussle barry, no easy ones

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That O board wasn't Tim's fault. It was Camby vs Parker.

[GrandeDavid]

Camby has 10 boards already.

[T Park]

:lmao @ schoening

"Thats a great foul by barry, Camby isn't a good ft shooter. Hes a 73% percent shooter on the year"

:lmao

What a fucking noob.

[ATXSPUR]

three!!!!!!!!!!

[hitmanyr2k]

Camby played volleyball with Parker's shot. Spiked the hell out of it.

Go Bruce!!

[RashoFan]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce for 3333333333333333333

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bowen 3! Finally.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 333333333333333

[bigfish22]

Bowen for 3, should have just let the layup go hahah!

[GrandeDavid]

Duncan 4 blks?!

[T Park]

You have a sickness and can't give horry credit for anything.

[hitmanyr2k]

Is Duncan playing a bit scared or is it just me? He's either hesitant or just plain rushing his shots. Looks like Camby is affecting him.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Timmy is playing like Timmy tonight. Nice to see. :D

You made fun of the announcer for giving Brent credit for good hustle. It was the smart play, even if he made the free throws.

ANOTHER dunk by Timmy!!! YAY!

[jackiel1219]

Timmy with the dunk!!!!!

[Mojazz]

scores? anyone???

[T Park]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Nice Pass Parker!!!

[GrandeDavid]

The good news is Manu has not done shit, statistically, so if Denver makes a run we should all expect Manu to lead the counter attack. He's due!

[bigfish22]

Is Duncan playing a bit scared or is it just me? He's either hesitant or just plain rushing his shots. Looks like Camby is affecting him.


He ain't look too scurred on that jam!!!

Td Slam Dunk

[davemaniscool]

[aaronstampler]

Hes on the bench now though.....

1-3, 2 pts, 3 assists, 2 rebs. Pretty good defense when he was in there though.

OFFENSIVE FOUL!!

FINLEY FRUSTERATING THE FUCK OUT OF HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, can't believe I posted that :lol

46-32 Spurs

[mullet]

whats google?

[hitmanyr2k]

He ain't look too scurred on that jam!!!

They need to keep Duncan on the move. So far he's scored by diving to the basket when penetration is cut off. His one on one game still looks shaky though.

[T Park]

1-3, 2 pts, 3 assists, 2 rebs. Pretty good defense when he was in there though.

I'll take it.

Hard to bring him in now, the current group is friggen playin some fantastic basketball.

Fantastic play by parker so far, being VERY agressive.

They're treating Ginobili like his name is Stanley....get him involved in the fuckin offense already.

Horrible last minute, Parker was messing up all over the place

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nuggets 7-0 to finish the half. :(

That is pathetic.

[nkdlunch]

where the fuck is Manu????

[T Park]

Absolute Shit fuck finish to the half.

PA FUCKING THETIC

[ATXSPUR]

Damnit!!!!!!!!!!! Why Did We Let Them Go On That Run? We Are Screwed!!!!!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This fucking iso basketball shit at the end of the half is a killer. Parker with a bad shot and a turnover.

I guess Pop didn't watch that shit fail enough in game 1.

[nkdlunch]

Manu sucks

[Amuseddaysleeper]

terrible way to end the quarter


i agree with kenny smith when he said it is crucial for spurs and mavs to win their games by a sizeable margin.


having said that, i'll take the lead :tu

[T Park]

Ginobili I guess is gonna not be agressive and play like a bitch.

Parker having to do it all.

Fuck.

[bigfish22]

I didn't like how we ended that half. We need to come out strong in the 3rd, and really put some space between us. I don't want them hanging around all game. Let's get the stars out early and cover for the over on vBookie!!!

[dimsah]

Why was Duncan taken out again? Did he have 2 fouls?

[GrandeDavid]

49-41 Spurs at the half, you guys happy with that? Me? I'm fucking pissed that Denver ended it on a 7-0 run. Bullshit.

[Admidave50]

Fuch, 15 pt lead cut to 8

[jmard5]

Poor execution during the last minutes of the first half! DAMN! I want the lead EXTENDED to 20+.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Pop always emphasises how important the last 2 minsof a quarter are, and in both games we've let them kill us at the end of quarters.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

[Admidave50]

Why was Duncan taken out again? Did he have 2 fouls?

I believe so

[sammy]

that jackass Parker why doesn't he pass the ball! He just turnover the ball and cost us 6 points! Pass the ball ballhog!

[T Park]

This fucking iso basketball shit at the end of the half is a killer. Parker with a bad shot and a turnover.

I guess Pop didn't watch that shit fail enough in game 1.

Shoulda ran another play for Mr wont drive to the basket I guess eh?

fantastic idea :tu

[ATXSPUR]

we are fucked over!!!!!!! damnit this is shit...

[GrandeDavid]

I wonder if Manu is gonna decide to show up in the second half, seriously.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Ginobili I guess is gonna not be agressive and play like a bitch.

Parker having to do it all.

Fuck.

Damn, I know you don't know shit, but how is it Manu's fault when Pop calls a 1-4 iso set and sticks Manu in the fucking corner.

You are a stupid fuck when it comes to basketball.

[Tek_XX]

Live by the Parker, die by the Parker

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Still, up by 8, I'll take it.

[Spurs Brazil]

Why was Duncan taken out again? Did he have 2 fouls?

Yes

[T Park]

that jackass Parker why doesn't he pass the ball! He just turnover the ball and cost us 6 points! Pass the ball ballhog!

FUCK YOU

Parker is the only fucking guy out there driving to the fucking basket.

NO ONE ELSE WILL

So shove that Parker ballhog shit.

[Typhoon]

Looks like Manu doesn't care anymore...

[td4mvp21]

Parker doing his best Kobe Bryant impression at the end of the half. He should have passed the damn ball-when you're not getting anything inside, do NOT keep driving in use your teammates.

[hitmanyr2k]

Ginobili I guess is gonna not be agressive and play like a bitch.

Parker having to do it all.

Fuck.

Hard to do anything when they don't call plays for him. They're throwing screens left and right for Parker to score and now he's starting to force shit. The only time Ginobili even gets a shot is if they kick to him for a 3 pointer.

[T Park]

but how is it Manu's fault when Pop calls a 1-4 iso set and sticks Manu in the fucking corner.


Its manu's fault when hes had the ball he settles for fucking jumpers.

I didnt know you were such a dumbfuck.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Shoulda ran another play for Mr wont drive to the basket I guess eh?

fantastic idea :tu



You are a stupid fuck and don't know shit about basketball

I bet if we ran an iso for Manu he would have taken it to the rack. Manu is a slasher. So why the hell are we sticking him in the corner and watch Parker fuck up one on four.

[easjer]

I'm pissed about how we allowed them to cut the lead and how we went down at the half.

BUT, Duncan won't be sitting the last two minutes of the 4th. So we can do it. Come out strong in the third.

We are still up 8 going into the half. That's a hell of a lot better and more comfortable than last game. And hopefully that little skid at the end will help them stay fired up and eager for the half rather than come out flat and complacent. They'll have to fight and stay aggressive.

[aaronstampler]

Gamecast is up.

[01Snake]

Still, up by 8, I'll take it.


:clap

[T Park]

Hard to do anything when they don't call plays for him. They're throwing screens left and right for Parker to score and now he's starting to force shit. The only time Ginobili even gets a shot is if they kick to him for a 3 pointer.


Yawn.

Spare me.

Ginobili is once again settling for jumpers instead of driving.

Spare fucking me.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Everyone should get off Manu's back - he's been fine. He's driven 3 times for 2 assists, hit a jumper, played some D. No SUPERMANU, but he hasn't been terrible.

Wait for the 4th! ;)

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Its manu's fault when hes had the ball he settles for fucking jumpers.

I didnt know you were such a dumbfuck.

Dude, there was less than two seconds left. Only your ignorant ass would expect him to take it from the three point line to the basket in that amount of time.

[TMTTRIO]

I'm very worried about Manu. He just hasn't seemed like the same energetic guy.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yawn.

Spare me.

Ginobili is once again settling for jumpers instead of driving.

Spare fucking me.

Yawn, spare me. When the fuck are they running plays for him? Every offensive play is for Parker or Duncan.

Damn, go to Blockbuster and rent your ignorant ass basketball for dummies.

[aaronstampler]

Ginobili I guess is gonna not be agressive and play like a bitch.

Parker having to do it all.

Fuck.


What the fuck are you talking about? There was 1 second left he didn't have time to drive. They're closing in the lane and he's passing to the open man. What is the problem?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

T Park, bullshit. he's taken 3 or 4 jumpers, and driven at least 3 times, twice for good assists.

When he plays with the second team, they clog the lane, and if he drives into that he will turn the ball over.

Give him a break, please. :rolleyes

[sammy]

Ginobili I guess is gonna not be agressive and play like a bitch.

Parker having to do it all.

Fuck.

Parker is being a fucking ballhog! :bang Get your team mates involved idiot! Turning the ball over and making bricks WTF! Maybe if he gets Manu involved in the offense, then Manu will start making those shot, but dumbass keeps holding onto the ball or trying to drive in the lane and miss the shot!

[E20]

FUCK THE THUGGETS. The game is already over, Spurs smell the easy kill and now it's a Slaughter House, Slaughter House 5 that is.

Spurs in 5.

[hitmanyr2k]

Yawn.

Spare me.

Ginobili is once again settling for jumpers instead of driving.

Spare fucking me.

He's forcing jumpers? He's barely shot the ball :lol

[Manu20]

Memo to Pop more Oberto less Elson in the 2nd half.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I'd be more worried about Parker than Manu, Parker was way too timid to start the game, he turned it up, but i'm hoping he's just saving it for the 4th Q.

[aaronstampler]

Shoulda ran another play for Mr wont drive to the basket I guess eh?

fantastic idea :tu


You're right, turnovers are much better than outside shots or passes to the open man.

[mardigan]

We got to stop talking shit to each other and start talikng shit about Cambys jumper. Ugliest fucking thing I have ever seen

[nkdlunch]

hey you manu dicksuckers, Manu is not being aggressive when he's had the ball.


WTF u talking about? this ain't the Manu of old. He better step up next half

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I think he got two shots the second half of game 1.

Tonight, I think I remember two plays in the first half we ran for him.

It looks like Pop has already decided on the off-season trade bait/scapegoat for this year if we don't win it all.

It gets old quick watching Parker single handledly piss away our 15 point lead at the end of the half with this iso 1-4 shit.

How do you not run plays for the one guy Denver has no one to match up with?

Fuck iso basketball

[T Park]

What the fuck are you talking about? There was 1 second left he didn't have time to drive. They're closing in the lane and he's passing to the open man. What is the problem?

Before that.

Hes been unagressive again.


Yawn, spare me. When the fuck are they running plays for him? Every offensive play is for Parker or Duncan.

Damn, go to Blockbuster and rent your ignorant ass basketball for dummies.


Shove the video up your ass attention whore.

Manu has been unagressive again, and unlike you fuckers who will suck him off every fucking minute, I will fucking call him on it.

[dimsah]

We're actually rebounding pretty well so far. Oberto has 7, but I think a couple of those were gimme's when he'd miss his own layup. Finley with 5, Duncan 4, Elson 4

[mardigan]

Memo to Pop more Oberto less Elson in the 2nd half.
:tu

[T Park]

hey you manu dicksuckers, Manu is not being aggressive when he's had the ball.


WTF u talking about? this ain't the Manu of old. He better step up next half


thank you very fucking much.

[jmard5]

Memo to Pop more Oberto less Elson in the 2nd half.

For some reason, Oberton plays really well alongside Duncan. He moves well without the ball.

[Ginofan]

They just need to execute better at the end of quarters. They aren't running plays for Manu so I don't expect him to be "SUPERMANU" right now, but when the time comes for him to takeover, he will.

I wish Tony would think before he just chunks it up there. Look for the open man before you go barrelling into the defenders to try and score.

Let's be more aggressive in the third and make them play OUR game. Slow it down and play some D.

[aaronstampler]

TPark you're the ultimate hater on this board. Neutral my ass. You hate Manu, you hate Barry, you hate Beno. You don't even watch most of the games and just get your updates from gamecast. You never have any idea what the fuck you're talking about.

[T Park]

Hes 1-4 and settling for jumpers.

But don't tell the whole truth attention whore.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

FUCK THE THUGGETS. The game is already over, Spurs smell the easy kill and now it's a Slaughter House, Slaughter House 5 that is.

Spurs in 5.

Um, pleasse don't jinx us! :lol

they were terrible in the first half, i bet they are better in the 2nd. We have to keep playing the way we are, and Fab/Horry need to keep Elson off the floor.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

hey you manu dicksuckers, Manu is not being aggressive when he's had the ball.


WTF u talking about? this ain't the Manu of old. He better step up next half

Run a fucking play for him instead of sticking him in the corner. When has Manu EVER been the guy you stick in the corner and tell to stay there?

Every time we got him involved in the pick and roll (twice) he got it to teammates for easy buckets.

Another year in the playoffs, another year of Pop not knowing his head from his ass when it comes to maximizing his team's offense.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

thank you very fucking much.

Tpark, he's just as clueless as your carney ass.

[gilmor]

I think a forum just sucks when TPark ever fukking post.. he fukking jinx the whole team

[easjer]

So for the second half, what do we need to see? Continue the rebounds. On both ends. Continue to drive and be aggressive with the ball. Loved seeing Tony actually use his speed and quickness and I loved seeing Tim working Nene. Let's see more of that. Remaining good on transition D for the most part, continue that. They can be more aggressive on the defensive glass - they are ok, but there were plenty of times there was one Nugget and 2 or 3 (or once, 4) Spurs and the Nugget came up with the rebound. They need to box out and secure them.

At times they settled for poor jumpers. At times they were not finishing strong - they need to do better.

But if they simply continue - they got this shit.

[T Park]

Another year in the playoffs, another year of Pop not knowing his head from his ass when it comes to maximizing his team's offense

Yeah fire pop.

Rehire bob hill.

THAT WILL GET US THAT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

Fuck off attention whore.

[exstatic]

Another game blogette, brought to you by AHF.

[itzsoweezee]

note to popovich: play Oberto a lot of minutes. i know that makes too much sense, but try doing the logical thing once in a while.

[nkdlunch]

TPark you're the ultimate hater on this board. Neutral my ass. You hate Manu, you hate Barry, you hate Beno. You don't even watch most of the games and just get your updates from gamecast. You never have any idea what the fuck you're talking about.

dude take your manu goggles off and just accept Manu is not having a good game. He's been dissapearing, he's not even making his wide open jumpers AND he is not being as aggressive as he should be.

and guess what? I am wearing a Manu jersey right now. so stop defending fucking Manu. He needs to step up

[aaronstampler]

Before that.

Hes been unagressive again.




Shove the video up your ass attention whore.

Manu has been unagressive again, and unlike you fuckers who will suck him off every fucking minute, I will fucking call him on it.


Why don't you call out Tony for forcing up a no chance shot on one possession and then turning it over in the middle of 3 people the next?

[mardigan]

A good portion of Manus minutes were with Tony and Tim on the bench. Little hard to score when the defense can key on you

[td4mvp21]

Ginobili isn't being aggressive because he is not being given the opportunity to. Like Aggie said, all the plays have been run primarily for Duncan and Parker-and if I'm not mistaken, those guys aren't the only scorers on the team. Pop needs to give some more shot opportunities to Ginobili and other team members. The Spurs are at their best when they are passing it around and moving the ball to everyone.

[Ginofan]

For some reason, Oberton plays really well alongside Duncan. He moves well without the ball.

I agree. 'Berto is playing awesome tonight, Pop definitely needs to stick with him...perhaps even start him next time.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Tony Parker: 4 assists, 3 turnovers

Manu: 3 assists, 0 turnovers.

Why doesn't that piece of shit Ginobili do something on offense? I guess Parker has to force all the stupid passes[/Tfart]

[T Park]

TPark you're the ultimate hater on this board. Neutral my ass. You hate Manu, you hate Barry, you hate Beno. You don't even watch most of the games and just get your updates from gamecast. You never have any idea what the fuck you're talking about

Yeah defend Beno fuckhead, please do me that favor.

Barry deserves his hate, and BTW, with him in there playing D, the Nuggets help go on that run. Brilliance :tu

[twincam]

They cannot afford to blow leads. They were up by 15 with just over a minute to go, only to blow it and only lead by 8. They need to make a freakin' statement. Why sit Duncan out. He's not in foul trouble. I hate when they do that...

[td4mvp21]

A good portion of Manus minutes were with Tony and Tim on the bench. Little hard to score when the defense can key on you

:tu

[Mojazz]

Lots of losers out here...

Not knowing what their talking!

[mullet]

parker blows, put in j.vaughn

[T Park]

Tpark, he's just as clueless as your carney ass.

still going back to your tricks of worn out bullshit fuckhead?

Fucking attention whore.

[aaronstampler]

TPark expects Manu to score even when he doesn't touch the ball. I guess next time he should just slug Parker in the face, steal the ball from him, dribblie it through three people in the lane and dunk it on Camby.

[hitmanyr2k]

Before that.

Hes been unagressive again.

Unaggressive? Is he supposed to walk up to Parker and say give me the fuckin ball? Is he supposed to go over to Popovich and say how about calling some fuckin plays for me? How about a screen? How about you move me around in the offense? A back cut...anything. Right now they're just sticking him at the three point line.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

10 people tell T Park he's wrong and point out why, but he picks the one who agrees with him.

People only listen to what they want to hear.

Manu has not been great nor has he been awful, and the game is not over. He isn't forcing anything, which is good. Wait for the 4th when people are tired. I have a feeling Supermanu might come out...

BTW - I think Karl has specifically targetted Manu as the guy he wants to shut down

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Some of you guys are idiots. Manu's doing fine. He's probably not getting plays called, and we're running through Tony more to make Iverson work, according to Charles. And Timmy, because well, he's responsible for our 15 point lead..

Manu's looking to assist so far. He potentially got his teammates five or six great looks with his drives, dumbasses.

Look for Pop to call more plays for Manu in the second half.

As for his jumpers. He's only taken four shots so far. And one of them was a last second three, and the other was a layup, put back by Horry.

He's taken two actual jumpshots. One went in the other didn't.

[nkdlunch]

gottam, these blind homers.

I ain't arguing with you anymore.

let's just win the game.

:lol:lol:lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yeah fire pop.

Rehire bob hill.

THAT WILL GET US THAT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

Fuck off attention whore.

Attention whore? I'm not the one who pulled a vagina monologue and quit the forum for a year only to come back the next day.

If you think Pop is doing a good job of utilizing Manu's skill set on offense, I really don't know what to say to you.

Is it that lost on you that Manu has as many assists as Parker but zero turnovers (to Tony's three) in five less minutes of play?

Yeah, Manu sure is sucking dick out there, if only we had more frenchmen shooting the ball more than anyone else on the team and cancelling out every one of their assists with a turnover, then we might be good. :tu

[jmard5]

Pop must be pretty pissed on what happened the last seconds of the first half.

[nkdlunch]

you a stupid fuck. watch the 1st half again and tell me Manu did all he could have done.

Finley, on the other hand is playing awesome, even awesome defense on Melo.

[Mojazz]

Many of idiots here wants to replace Pop with themselves...

Just let the man do his thing... And u do the talking!

[ducks]

ahf can not use the game blog

[T Park]

4 shots from the perimiter.

1-4.

But yet hes being agressive :tu

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I think a forum just sucks when TPark ever fukking post.. he fukking jinx the whole team

AGREED!

Let's all play nice and accentuate the positive - it was a good half by our team.

[mullet]

manu should be the full time pg. lets bench/kill parker

[aaronstampler]

Yeah defend Beno fuckhead, please do me that favor.

Barry deserves his hate, and BTW, with him in there playing D, the Nuggets help go on that run. Brilliance :tu


All you do is hate. You are the most worthless fan on this board. I wish you rooted for the Mavs. It's embarrassing that you call yourself a Spurs fan.

[easjer]

OK, Manu could do more when he has the ball and he sits and hesitates and dribbles around and finally throws up a weak shot. Agreed they could run more plays for him - he was effective with his shot when they ran the plays. But he is not making many of his jump shots, so he needs to be more aggressive getting to the basket. He was supposed to be the X factor, unguardable matchup. And he's settling for (missed) jump shots and assists.

Which is not to say that Tony couldn't afford to spread the ball more and be a little more aggressive than he was. Because he can.

[aaronstampler]

4 shots from the perimiter.

1-4.

But yet hes being agressive :tu


How did he get his assists asshole? Tell me that.

[xamila rey]

note to popovich: play Oberto a lot of minutes. i know that makes too much sense, but try doing the logical thing once in a while.
:tu

Fucking attention whore.


2006, after a Spurs playoff loss:

Tpark: "I hate this team. They fucking suck. They're fucking chokes. I am quitting this forum for a year."

24 hours later:

Tpark: "I'm back, I was never going to quit the forum"

:dramaquee

[T Park]

Attention whore? I'm not the one who pulled a vagina monologue and quit the forum for a year only to come back the next day

Im not the one that made upa bullshit thread that got someone banned for 24 hours.

Yeah mine was much worse :tu

[ducks]

if manu is so good manu homers why does manu need plays called for him?

[nkdlunch]

Manu is sucking, yes me the biggest Manu homer said so. so STFU

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

4 shots from the perimiter.

1-4.

But yet hes being agressive :tu

And 3 drives for two easy assists.

Leave it alone, seriously. What are you achieving with this except pissing everyone off and being negative?????

Wake up to yourself.

[ATXSPUR]

3rd quarter about to start....away from arguing over manu and back to hoping the spurs bring it in the second half.

[mardigan]

So, you think we gona keep a decent lead the rest of the way?

[ZStomp]

ahf can not use the game blog


is he special?

[T Park]

gottam, these blind homers.

I ain't arguing with you anymore.

The ginobili homers are hard to deal with.

Are you blind? He only took 2 jumpshots and made one of them. Settling for jumpshots? Only on a Spurs forum man. Some of you guys say some stupid shit.

[nkdlunch]

I'm done arguing

GO SPURS!!!!!

[ducks]

Parker doing his best Kobe Bryant impression at the end of the half. He should have passed the damn ball-when you're not getting anything inside, do NOT keep driving in use your teammates.
KEYS TO WINNING ATTACKING THE BASKET

Thank you.

Actually he's got a layup too. So Manu is a passive little prick when he shoots three jumpers from outside, but Parker is a bad ass mother fucker when he bricks five shots from outside.

I think I've got your logic down now, makes perfect sense.
