[ALVAREZ6]

about damn time we go on the most minimal run.

[Spurologist]

FIN can't fucking miss

Barry is gonna be asking Najera for some Dos Equis after the game.

[Crookshanks]

Thank god for Finley and Horry! Let the old guys show em how it's done!

[ducks]

Big Mike Big Shot

[nkdlunch]

Horry 1 steal + 1 3pt + 1 block in less than 10 secs!!!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Great Hustle by this lineup. This is a good lineup who knows what they're doing, big game players!

[easjer]

Shades of 05 Horry right there. Spurs are shooting the three pretty well after they highlighted ESPN highlighted that they were 4-14.

[nkdlunch]

Okay, its to the point where I'll be sick if we lose. No, I'll f-in cry. ha ha

yup. me too :nerd

[bdictjames]

Fiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnddddddddoooooooooooogggggg gg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chris]

That was the best sequence from Robert Horry coast to coast that I have ever seen. :smokin

[Admidave50]

YEEEEEEEEES! consecutive good plays by the Spurs!! +8

[ALVAREZ6]

Okay, its to the point where I'll be sick if we lose. No, I'll f-in cry. ha haYeah I will be confused if they do.


knock on some fuckin wood





go Spurs!

[hitmanyr2k]

I give Fin props and he throws the worst pass I've seen all playoffs :lol

[GrandeDavid]

that is some fuckin basketball for you my friends.





about damn time we go on the most minimal run.

Its cuz we've got my man Fab on the floor, big guy....

um, after I typed that JR Smith gets a steal, layup and is at the line. :rolleyes

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oh, and one of the numbnuts commentators called Blake a "poor 3pt shooter" in game 1. He shoots 37% career. That is not poor.

[ShoogarBear]

Stupid pass, Fin.

[efrem1]

Melo and AI ironically are being worn down by their own thin-air homecourt maybe?

[boutons_]

Fuck Mike, nice way to let them grab the steal, FG, and1 and the Mo.

[ALVAREZ6]

what did I say about ticky tacky....JR wasn't even touched.



complete bullshit

[YODA]

Denver a little panicey now.

[nkdlunch]

Spurs playing like champs.

[T Park]

jacque is just a completely different player than he was in the regular season :(

[Admidave50]

Stupid turnover and foul...

[Spurologist]

HOOOOOOOOOORYYYYYYYYYYYYy

[jackiel1219]

Horry!!!!!!!!

[GrandeDavid]

Horry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SpursFanFirst]

This is so great to watch!!! :)

[hitmanyr2k]

Uh oh...Horry starting to feel it.

[GrandeDavid]

Shouldn't count.

[Warlord23]

Horry going apeshit

[mVp]

robert fucking horry!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Horrrry!!!

[ALVAREZ6]

that shot will count

[bdictjames]

RoHo

Wow this is too exciting.

[GrandeDavid]

He released it after the buzzer.

[nkdlunch]

shot didn't count. I bet 100$ on it

[Pistons < Spurs]

LMAO! How can they continue to leave Horry open?

/Sheed :depressed

[T Park]

Robert fucking horry.


What did I tell ya :smokin

[Spurs Brazil]

Horry 3333333333333333

Spurs up 8 after the 3rd

[YODA]

will be close on the call

[ALVAREZ6]

Horry's a fucking stud.


old ass man with some good ass skills.

[SpursFanFirst]

75-67, Spurs!

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

that shot will count




Not!!!!

[T Park]

ESPN counted the shot by Anthony.

What do you guys say, does it count?

[GrandeDavid]

Call it now...

Win or lose?

I say we win this bitch.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Horry again. Someone flipped his Playoff switch to ON

[Crookshanks]

Great way to end the quarter - now it's time to pour on the hurt and bury them!

[jaespur21]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bdictjames]

Shot doesn't count.

Nice start of the 3rd. Now to get Timmy back.

Im really happy we got RoHo and Findog on this team.

[missmyzte]

LMAO! How can they continue to leave Horry open?

/Sheed :depressed
:toast

[YODA]

those who live by the 3.....
God, I hope we shoot less 3's, but hell , i cant complain at the moment

[boutons_]

Ok, Spurs +5 in the 3rd qtr

+8 to start the 4th

At worst, swap baskets in the 4th and get the split @Denver

[GrandeDavid]

Horry's a fucking stud.


old ass man with some good ass skills.

:lmao

That was poetic, bro. That was short, sweet, emphatic and nonsensical. That should be our motto for Robert Horry this playoffs, Al! ha ha

[SPARKY]

Horry needs to save some of that shit for the later rounds.

[nkdlunch]

now this is Spurs ball. finally!

[ALVAREZ6]

please Spurs, just finish out this game.


1 more quarter, that's it.

1 more quarter.

[efrem1]

Melo and AI logging heavy minutes. Time to go for the kill!!!

[ShoogarBear]

jacque is just a completely different player than he was in the regular season :(Still, it's > Beno.

[Tek_XX]

dare i say keep tim on the bench.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Lets Do This

[nkdlunch]

Horry needs to save some of that shit for the later rounds.

that's exactly what I was thinking. we will need his brilliance

[T Park]

ESPN just took the points away so I assume the shot didn't count.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

FAAAAARK!

I sooooo wish I could be watching this.

Grrrrrrrrrr. :evil

[Crookshanks]

Ok, Spurs +5 in the 3rd qtr

+8 to start the 4th

At worst, swap baskets in the 4th and get the split @Denver
NO SPLIT! Take em both!

[Kobulingam]

Horry deserves a contract extension. Sign him for 5 years.

[T Park]

Still, it's > Beno


Isn't that sad? :lol


Hell I remember in 05, Beno had a fucking fantastic game one night while parker was playing like shit in the first half.

I think it was game 3.

[ALVAREZ6]

Horry needs to save some of that shit for the later rounds.Yeah I was thinking to myself, he better not be all amazing for us in this 1st round but disappear in the 2nd, 3rd, and Finals....that'll be worse than never showing up in the first place.

[YODA]

huge props for pop for knowing what he is doing with guys like finley and horry.
POP is in another league on knowing whats going on. we of little faith are but mere mortal fans......

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Horry needs to save some of that shit for the later rounds.
I'm sure he's just warming himself up. It was good to see him alive in the very first minutes of the playoffs. It's a very good sign actually.

[ducks]

you fucking go for the kill NOW
put tp starters in and manu NOW

[ShoogarBear]

that's exactly what I was thinking. we will need his brillianceFuck that. He's been saving it all year. He should have at least 1-2 games per round left in him.

[ALVAREZ6]

:lmao

That was poetic, bro. That was short, sweet, emphatic and nonsensical. That should be our motto for Robert Horry this playoffs, Al! ha halol, I personally thought it sucked, but if you like it....

[easjer]

DAMN! FUCK YES!

Yeah. Oh, hell yeah.

Let's keep this up in the 4th. STAY AWAKE GUYS! Don't let them back in. Keep it going.

[T Park]

1 more goddamn quarter spurs.

Think you can handle it?

Christ :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Yeah I was thinking to myself, he better not be all amazing for us in this 1st round but disappear in the 2nd, 3rd, and Finals....that'll be worse than never showing up in the first place.
Almost like how we had that Barry Bouncer 3 against the Kings.

But I have faith in Horry though.

[Chris]

Walton said this is Horry's last year?

[nkdlunch]

manu won't start 4th.

but big 3 will play heavy minutes.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Flagrant...

[Spurs Brazil]

That must be a flagrant

[Deb]

umm flagrant on manu!!!!!

[SpursFanFirst]

NASTY hit on manu :(

[Spurologist]

Fucking bitches

[jackiel1219]

Now the hard foul on Manu

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

OUCCHHH... WTF is wrong with the Nuggets?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Don't worry about Horry, he's just getting into a groove for the rest of the playoffs!

As for Vaughn, hell, he's the best backup we've had since Speedy... :oops

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Thug foul by J.R. Smith. Dick.

[SPARKY]

Damn JR Smith is one dumb motherfucker. Spurs are camped out in his head right now.

[GrandeDavid]

Bring it home, boys.

[hitmanyr2k]

Wow...that was definitely intent to hurt lol. I'm sure Karl wanted that.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I like Bill today.

[boutons_]

fuck you, Smith, you fucking ghetto turd

[ducks]

jr smith flagrant foul

[Deb]

even bill walton thinks it is a flagrant

[SpursFanFirst]

Walton isn't happy about the way the Nuggets are treating Manu.

[nkdlunch]

Manu was gonna slam that shit!!!

#20 baby!!! that's my fucking boy

[lefty]

Smith SOB

[Admidave50]

Jr Is A Bitch

[ducks]

fuck you, Smith, you fucking ghetto turd
now spur fans will never want him

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Fucking Nuggets~!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

what's wrong wtih Parker he should relax a little.

[GrandeDavid]

The Denver Thuggets reveal their true colors. We lose this game, I'll be livid. Duncan is primed to own the stretch run with no fouls and being that he's in rhythm.

[WalterBenitez]

what the fuck .. come on Tony!!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

Manu's lower bicep is awfully red after that hit. He's looking like a battered wife with all the hits he's taking.

[SpursFanFirst]

HOW did they not capitalize on that steal!??!

[bdictjames]

Hey, good sign for us.

Manu needed that hit. :lol

[hitmanyr2k]

Sigh...worst fast break I've ever seen. Great defense by Horry though.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We playing again yet? ESPN is way behind. Is yahoo better? I'll go check it out...

[GrandeDavid]

Tim getting some rest. Good.

[nkdlunch]

damn! horry is killing!

[ALVAREZ6]

WTF what a shitty fast break...blew away a free basket

[ducks]

tp nice thought should have shot it though

[hitmanyr2k]

Good sportsmanship by JR Smith asking Ginobili if he's ok. Not sure if anyone else saw it.

[T Park]

Man, Tony and Jacque are just dissapointing the hell out of me :depressing

[bdictjames]

Doesn't Horry lead the playoffs all-time for stealing? Wow, another one for him.

[conversekid]

Yahoo Way Better

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Smith with a flagrant? What, is he frustrated he didn't sign with us? :lol

[ducks]

We playing again yet? ESPN is way behind. Is yahoo better? I'll go check it out...
http://www.sportsline.com/nba/gamecenter/live/NBA_20070428_SA@DEN

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Way to fuck up a four on one fast break, Tony :pctoss

[Admidave50]

damn.. horry and tp with bad passes

[jackiel1219]

we need to stop the turn overs

[ducks]

cbs best

[Warlord23]

Goddamn turnovers

[boutons_]

fucking TOs !

[SpursFanFirst]

uh oh...getting sloppy...they need to stop that NOW :depressed

[easjer]

At least JR wrapped him up and took him down ok, without touching his head. And asked if he was ok.

Is it wrong that I'm watching the clock more than anything. Please don't fuck it up now guys.

[GrandeDavid]

We playing again yet? ESPN is way behind. Is yahoo better? I'll go check it out...

They have. The Spurs are turning the ball over like a lottery team. Now Tim coming back in. SA 77 DEN 69. 10:35. Duncan in now...

[Pistons < Spurs]

walk!!!

[Crookshanks]

I hope that flagrant really fires up the whole team and they kill the Nuggets! That was so unnecessary and really showed their true colors.

[Tek_XX]

Horrys doing well but manu and parker need to put that ball in the hole and not worry about him unless he's wide open

[bdictjames]

Nice.

[Deb]

just get timmy fired up!!

[T Park]

come on pop get duncan the fuck back in, this isnt february and were conserving minutes LETS GO!!!

[GrandeDavid]

How The Fuck Did They Call That Foul On Ginobili!!!!!!!??????????????? Fucking Thieves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

Bad Call.....

[SpursFanFirst]

77-69, Spurs

[GrandeDavid]

Go Fabricio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

Great feed to oberto

[Cherry]

Fabricio 2 :elephant

[Deb]

nice steal!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

I love that. TP just watches AI dribble then put his hand up to challenge the shot at the end

[Admidave50]

Gino not playing too great now

[bdictjames]

Oberto!!!!

[ALVAREZ6]

fuckin Tony how can u miss that

[nkdlunch]

fucking flop by AI!!!!

fuck!@!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Come onnn parker, get your head in the game.

[YODA]

Parker not playing very well at all

[jackiel1219]

WTF is Parker doing, he needs to finish those layups

[T Park]

Tony is just mired in a goddamn funk....

What the hell Tony?

[boutons_]

damn Tony, a 2ft shot 1 ft short?

[GrandeDavid]

Good grief. They are calling EVERYTHING against the Spurs when it comes to Iverson.

[ALVAREZ6]

Gino not playing too great nowno I believe he's been the best all game long

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Thanks guys, got yahoo and cbs going now.

Can't wait to watch this game!

[nkdlunch]

Tony: please don't dissapear on me this 4th quarter.
thanks.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP PASS THE DAMN BALL

We have OPEN guys on the corners all the time

[YODA]

Denver gonna start forcing it a little now

[boutons_]

Tony got lead in his legs and butt, he's not sharp, in a fog.

[Tek_XX]

Spurs are lucky Denver is lost right now.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

no I believe he's been the best all game long
I think Ginobili needs to throw down one more dunk to prove that their thuggery isn't gonna intimidate him, so they should just cut that shit out.

[Admidave50]

Iverson is such a bitch, please tell him to stop falling on the floor!

[Deb]

play good d, get off good shots, and dont foul and we will have this win.

[PB&J]

damn, and they boo manu for flopping, what a flop by AI

[T Park]

Alright.

Peres a fucking vere guys.

Forget about the stupid ass fouls, and DRIVE.

CAMBY AINT IN THERE!!!

When Camby isn't in the game, there shouldn't be any threes taken by ANYONE.

[ALVAREZ6]

Tony sucks at fast breaks all of a sudden.

he always tries to split 2 people and fails, or just can never make up his mind and runs into someone or gets blocked. he refuses to pass the ball on fast breaks.

[nkdlunch]

AI is a fucking flopper.

[easjer]

Come on guys. Settle down, play smart. Don't let them back in now. Clamp down the D and stop making stupid mistakes. Make your fucking shots. Strong D.

[Spurologist]

TP never shots a two handed floater. I don't know wtf that was but it looked ugly. I'd rather have him attack the paint than shoot jumpers though

[nkdlunch]

sorry, but Manu should handle the ball all 4th quarter.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

damn, and they boo manu for flopping, what a flop by AI
The fans are idiots.

[ducks]

he passed the ball on a fast break and horry was not expecting it
horry was thinking he going for a layup

[T Park]

Alvarez, only explanation I can think, hes trying to do too much.

He doesn't want Duncan and Manu to have to shoulder ALL the responsibility.


That being said.

Just rotate the ball around the horn.

Get the best shot available.

The ball can move faster than the defender, so move the ball.

[jackiel1219]

AI is flopping like a soccer player

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

sorry, but Manu should handle the ball all 4th quarter.
He'll get to the open guys Tony's been kind of ignoring. I don't know what he's thinking about but he's missed a lot of key guys today.

[ducks]

sorry, but Manu should handle the ball all 4th quarter.
yes because he never never never turns the ball over

[ALVAREZ6]

AI is a fucking flopper.Damn it, enough of this shit, AI is a great player.



EVERYONE IN THE NBA FLOPS!!!


some are good at it, others aren't, but everyone tries to get away with petty cheap shit in many aspects of the game

Tim Duncan had a terrible flop that was pathetic when Nene didn;t even do anything that would provoke it and lead to 2 points.

[Admidave50]

sorry, but Manu should handle the ball all 4th quarter.

He was responsible for couple of bad plays and turnovers in the 4th!

[T Park]

I don't know Pop.

I think Parker at his worst > Vaughn right now....

[Spurs Brazil]

BS call again

[nkdlunch]

why is camby still on the bench?

[jackiel1219]

wow, they are calling BS calls against the Spurs

[T Park]

Good lord.

Talk about the checking line....

Terrible offensive lineup...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

come on pop get duncan the fuck back in, this isnt february and were conserving minutes LETS GO!!!

Tpark criticizing Popobitch :wow

[nkdlunch]

Walton just said Najera is the only HISPANIC to play in today's NBA...

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu should rest a minute and a half, and play the rest of the fucking fourth. or until we get this game.

[jackiel1219]

Findog!!!!!

[Spurologist]

FINNNNNNNN for 3

[conversekid]

both teams only scored 4 points in the 4th quarter?

[resistanze]

Finley is on crack.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley 3333333333333

[lefty]

Fin 3333333333333333333333333333

[Deb]

And Finley For 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[YODA]

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

[Cherry]

Finley 3!

FUCK Carmelo

[ducks]

this lineup sucks

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Finley's shot, is just g reat.

[boutons_]

Michael's owning fucking Colorado

[WalterBenitez]

Thanks Cuban for paying the Salary to Mike :clap

[GrandeDavid]

Shitty ass turnover.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Vaughn trying to pass to the referree!

[Tek_XX]

pUT BENO IN

[jackiel1219]

what a horrible line up by Pop

[ShoogarBear]

Shit, now Vaughn is pulling Benos out there.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Thank the lord Finley found his stroke after the AS break. We really need it!

[GrandeDavid]

Pop, put Ginobili back in!!!!!!!!!! We need him to finish this damn game.

[carina_gino20]

:wow. fin has been really solid for us.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

PUt Manu and Tony back in. But run the offense through Manu

[nkdlunch]

good timeout

Pop is really into this game.

[Deb]

Pop Needs To Get Pissed And Tell Them To Start Playing Some D!

[Cherry]

this lineup sucks

Manu and Tony on the bench is DANGEROUS for the Spurs:madrun

[Warlord23]

Turnovers and offensive boards have kept us from leading by 15+ today

[T Park]

Get Horry back in for Oberto, since he doesn't wanna rebound.

Get Parker back in.

Get Manu in for Bowen.

[lefty]

pUT BENO IN
:drunk :drunk

[Admidave50]

Vaughn playing ugly

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

The thing I like about Finley's shot is he doesn't ever think about it. It's just smooth and naturally in the flow of the offense.

[boutons_]

ok, Nuggs make a little run, helped by Vaughn's pass to nobody, time to respond.

[ducks]

can the big 4 combine for 80

[spursparker9]

put barry in!

[T Park]

Oberto's decision to all of a sudden turn into stiff fodder again, has led to all these damn boards..

Shit put butler out there, he couldn't do any worse :pctoss

[Spurologist]

:lol

Beno is mentioned on a Spurs GAME blog

[Kobulingam]

Someone on Nuggets literally has to tug on Duncan's penis to get a foul called.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Get Horry back in for Oberto, since he doesn't wanna rebound.

Get Parker back in.

Get Manu in for Bowen.
I wish Oberto had Elson's legs.

[easjer]

They've got to stop the slide now. They MUST score. SO pissed at fucking Vaughn. WHo was that supposed to go to?

Guys - settle down and play your game. BETTER defense. They've been able to tip in 2 now. Stop that shit and pull a fucking rebound.

Make some damn shots. Don't let this slip thorugh your fingers now.

[T Park]

Fin dog, 5 of 11 tonight.

5 of 7 behind the arc

Keep it up Fin :tu

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Oberto's decision to all of a sudden turn into stiff fodder again, has led to all these damn boards..

Shit put butler out there, he couldn't do any worse :pctoss
Put Melvin Ely in , so he can foul one of hte THuggets hard as payback for Manu.

[T Park]

I wish Oberto had Elson's legs

If Oberto had elson's legs, he would be an allstar.

No joke.

[Cherry]

Manu in
Tony in
Thanks Pop

[Pistons < Spurs]

Shit.....

[T Park]

Put Melvin Ely in , so he can foul one of hte THuggets hard as payback for Manu.

Nah, no need to play that petty cheap game.

Keep it professional, do the job.

Id rather play Butler though, butler looked good on the boards the last couple games.

Albeit weak competition.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Why are we shooting 3's?

[jackiel1219]

Ginobili needs to drive to the basket

[GrandeDavid]

Bad shot by Gino. FINALLY an offensive foul in Anthony.

[lefty]

TIMMY Dpoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[conversekid]

all i see on the live feed is jumper jumper jumper... wut up spurz? drive!

[Pistons < Spurs]

Why are we shooting 3's?
I mean "you" :lol

[carina_gino20]

take the damn ball to the ring!

[GrandeDavid]

Spurs MUST draw fouls now. Drive the lane.

[Deb]

If Manu Is Going To Shoot The Ball Then He Needs To Drive.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

They go Big, we go small? WTF?

[naico]

you just knew that spurs were gonna freez nd fuck up some points somewhere in the fourth

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Thats The Tony We All Know And Love!!

[ducks]

terrbible shot manu

[hitmanyr2k]

THank you Tony. At least someone is going to the rim.

[carina_gino20]

I mean "you" :lol

freudian slip? :lol

[Admidave50]

Manu playing badly since he went on the floor!

[GrandeDavid]

They must be listening to me. :)

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Iverson's first foul :lol

[Pistons < Spurs]

[GrandeDavid]

Spurs by 9 with 5:05 left.

[hitmanyr2k]

Tony got away with a walk on that one :lol
