Round 2, Game 3: Spurs vs Suns Official Game Blog Thread

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs get 3 on Amare and immediately blow the advantage with 3 fouls on TD.

[cornbread]

Everything okay with Amare? Nobody stepped on his shoes in the first half? I hope he's okay.

[phxspurfan]

rare crappy play by TD. they play excellent d and he bats the rebound out of bounds, then marion takes 8 seconds from the next 24 and nails a J

[Admidave50]

What a dumb attempt by Duncan for the rebound! We're really helping the Suns with all the TOs!

[easjer]

Dude. You have to grab the rebound or not.

I'm not happy with how Marion is going off or the fact that we've continued to take jumpers that aren't falling. BULLSHIT.

Take that shit inside.

And 4 on Fabri.

[aaronstampler]

Offense is stagnant, bring Manu in.

[itzsoweezee]

need to get the ball to duncan.

[Tek_XX]

What is pop doing

[cornbread]

I missed who picked up the 4th foul...Who is "Black Charmin???"

[Admidave50]

Barry gave the momentum!! Going from -4 to +5

[boutons_]

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

[Gerryatrics]

Barry sucks.

[Shaolin-Style]

What is it abotu D'antoni that they never call a T on him even if he's stomping his feet and waving his arms around screaming his lungs out?

[dbreiden83080]

This is too nerveracking back and forth over and over.

[spurs1990]

ok, why isn't anyone bringing up Manu not being first off the bench??

[slayermin]

Barry sucks.

And yet he has a ring.

[Admidave50]

D'Antoni should have been ejected already! He might try that if his team starts falling!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Pop to the team:

"Good morning kids! Have a nice sleep?"

Welcome to the game, Spurs.

And it was all started by BARRY! :lmao (and continued by that excellent 1-on-1 stop by Duncan on the break)

Eeeeeeeeeexcellent.

[SpursFanFirst]

What is it abotu D'antoni that they never call a T on him even if he's stomping his feet and waving his arms around screaming his lungs out?

I blame Cuban...he's paying the refs off! :lol

[TampaDude]

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Yeah, buddy!!! :elephant :elephant :elephant

[LaMarcus Bryant]

ok, why isn't anyone bringing up Manu not being first off the bench??


cuz he sucks

[nkdlunch]

D'antoni is comedy relief.

He's exactly like Chaplin as Hitler. as someone pointed out :lmao

[slayermin]

Absolutely sick steal by TD.

[Texas_Ranger]

Keep it up Spurs.

[Spurologist]

http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/4576/mikedantonigs1.jpg

Someone play that clown music

[conversekid]

what does D'antonin gotta do to get a T????

punch the ref???

No doubt... i've never seen a coach that animated, vocal, and belligerent without getting T'd. He's a Dirty Coach and has no respect for the game.

[easjer]

Ok, now I hope they play smart D and keep building this lead, instead of poor O and gimme D that lets the Suns back in.

Build on this momentum, guys!!!

[xcoriate]

That sequence was freaking awesome!

[exstatic]

You may all hate me now. Went out to get some grub at halftime, and checked my mail on the way back. My authentic Horry jersey has arrived. Oh, and it's a cup jersey from 2005 Finals, with the O'Brien trophy on the right collarbone. Oh, and when I put it on, the Spurs hit those 3 3s.

Suffer, lesser fans.

[jaespur21]

HERE we Go go spurs Go

[Tippecanoe]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Freakin commentators.

That was nowhere near set!!!

Since when can you tunnel the offensive player? :wtf

[conversekid]

Put the strangle hold on spurs

[RashoFan]

:lol @ Bruce staring down the Phoenix bench!

:toast
BYE BYE BEEYOTCHES...:lol

[Pistons < Spurs]

lmao!!! Nash can't get it to fall...

[SpursFanFirst]

I missed the staredown...BUMMER

[nkdlunch]

comeon :pctoss

we should be up by 12 right now fuck!!!

[ShoogarBear]

Shit, the Spurs should have done a lot more during that run.

[Admidave50]

Shit, Spurs couldn't take advantage of Suns being cold! -4

[Capt Bringdown]

We're getting the stops, but we can't capitalize...
We could've had a double digit lead, ARRRGGHHH

[CharlieMac]

wow, thats in nashs heads now

[dbreiden83080]

Spurs not taking advantage of the Suns and Nash lousy play there is going to come back to bite them badly.

[easjer]

Spurs need to hit these shots or get the rebound.

Notice how fired up Nash seems to be - he's taken a lot of the last few shots. That's what we want, right?

[Gerryatrics]

And yet he has a ring.


your just resentful he jilted your sonics for the spurs

Sarcasm

-noun

When you have some free time feel free to browse through some of my posts here...

[ducks]

mike finely has not been the same since his bask spams

[lefty]

Unlike the 1st half, Suns not having lots of open jumpers

[nkdlunch]

LMAO that SUns bench was BOWNED

[Tek_XX]

Is the suns defense that good that the Spurs get in these offensive ruts

[Jimcs50]

Shit, the Spurs should have done a lot more during that run.

Like what? Go get you a beer?

[TampaDude]

Wow...Nash finally got his first FG of the game...now he knows how we felt in Game 2...c'mon, Spurs...lock it down...stretch the lead...

[aaronstampler]

I'm telling you guys this is sick. Pop will not call a fucking play for Manu unless Tony and Tim are on the bench.

[Admidave50]

fuck these refs!!!

stop the hate, keep fishing! :toast

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

that looked like a charge on duncan.

Bullshit.

Nash basically stepped underneath him.

The rule used to be that the defender had to be still, although that's not the way they call it any more. They call a lot of charges that should be blocks these last few seasons.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

nash with 3 points and we're only up 4


I hope we can hang on cuz nash having a game like this happens once every 100 years

[Spurologist]

Turnovers against the suns is almost an automatic deuce. Gotta take care of the rock. Spurs still up 4.

66-62

[easjer]

Spurs need to hit their shots. Suns rut and we're only up 4? Not great.

[Ginofan]

Pop was right about the percentages being in our favor as for the threes go.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Dayum, we should've opened up 10pts on them but missed 3 straight shots in a row.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuu

[ducks]

bruce bowen has as many rebounds as thomas

[jackiel1219]

Manu hits the jumper

[lefty]

As Spurs fan, I'm really worried ; Nash having a bad game and we're only up by 4 ; I just hope he doesn't find his rythm.

[RashoFan]

LMAO that SUns bench was BOWNED
:tu

[ShoogarBear]

Like what? Go get you a beer?That's your job.

[Admidave50]

I'm telling you guys this is sick. Pop will not call a fucking play for Manu unless Tony and Tim are on the bench.

Here's your play for Manu ;)

[Ginofan]

damn we don't ALL need to be on Nash when he goes through the lane.

[slayermin]

Kurt Thomas playing incredible. Mad props to him.

[xcoriate]

The defender also has to be in place before the offensive player leaves the ground, I think maybe Nash was still moving in when duncan left the ground.

[Jimcs50]

Why does SA leave Thomas open for that shot??? He hits it 90% of the time.

[Jimcs50]

That's your job.

Hey Beerman!

[Pistons < Spurs]

The Spurs get stripped of more balls than any other team I watch. I remember the same thing happening in our Finals matchup. we kept slapping the ball out of TD's hands.

[easjer]

Damn. So when do they sit the big guys for their rest and can we maintain a lead when they do???

[Admidave50]

How come Barry is defending on Nash???

[Amuseddaysleeper]

nice to see barry gettin some playing time

[Spurologist]

I'd rather have Nash shooting than passing

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan AND Parker sitting. Hmm.

[easjer]

Again. Must finish. Must make these shots.

I want tighter D as well.

[Capt Bringdown]

All of this, and the best we could do is a 3 pt lead. And now Vaughn's in, oh kee-rhist.

[easjer]

FUCK manu.

Fuck him.

Stripped/blocked again.

[phxspurfan]

that wasnt a foul for manu, no. (wtf does the man have to do?)

[jackiel1219]

Manu can't buy a foul

[Pistons < Spurs]

wtf barry? why not take a half court shot next time....

[Gerryatrics]

Ginobili and Parker are getting selfish, they need to move the ball and keep the momentum going.

[lefty]

Manmuuuuu

[TampaDude]

EVERY TIME Manu drives to the basket, it's a turnover...okay, finally...

[Tek_XX]

When will pop learn that this lineup ain't gonna cut it.

[jaespur21]

Good Foul nothing easy nothing easy

[Admidave50]

So frustrating!! We should be +10

[slayermin]

Nice block by Marion.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We've got to work Oberto-Manu picnroll with this lineup

[jaespur21]

So frustrating!! We should be +10
Ive heard that over here

[Ginofan]

NO FOUL?? Come on you gotta effin' kidding me.

[Admidave50]

EVERY TIME Manu drives to the basket, it's a turnover...okay, finally...

Still, some Manu fans can't get off his dick!

[Cry Havoc]

Hahaha, awesome punch Marion. Must have watched the Mayweather fight.

[jackiel1219]

Manu got a black eye

[Ginofan]

oh shit look at his eye!!!

[TampaDude]

Manu's got a shiner!

[Pistons < Spurs]

HOLY SHIT.......Manu is done.....that eye is already getting huge.

[easjer]

Damn, Manu's face got raped.

When will they call a foul for him?

[RashoFan]

Ow Manu's eye does not look good

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu gets hammered for no call YET AGAIN.

[Admidave50]

Yeah right, the Spurs are DIRTY!

[sprrs]

Manu's FINALLY being aggresive and the refs are punishing him for it.

WTF

[slayermin]

Who's dirty now?

[aaronstampler]

FUCK manu.

Fuck him.

Stripped/blocked again.

You say you want him to drive then when he does you curse him. Typical

[Jimcs50]

That looks painful

[jaespur21]

NO WONDER WHY WE SO CALL CRY 4 Fouls

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This one will go down to the wire.

At least we've slowed the tempo in the 3rd.

[lefty]

What a dirty play, marion is such a dirty player!!!!

It wasn't on purpose

[ATXSPUR]

no foul...damn officiating.

[lefty]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Pistons < Spurs]

how about a little ice to keep the swelling down? his eye's gonna be swollen shut in a few minutes.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gerryatrics]

How was that dirty? He swiped at the ball and caught him in the face, it happens. Stop whining already.

[Cry Havoc]

THAT A KID! EAT SHIT, Marion!

[TampaDude]

Manu all up in your face...bad eye and all!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yeah, Manu's been tough tonight - give him some props! :rolleyes

[Ginofan]

That's the Manu I know and love. Even after getting beat to all hell, he makes a fucking basket.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Pistons < Spurs]

Mnau fouled taking a 3....to the lone!!!

[itzsoweezee]

manu is pissed.

[Cry Havoc]

OH yes!!!! 3 FTs for Manu!!! HAHAHHAAA.

Hey Suns fans, still think Bell > Bowen on defense? :lmao

[Tippecanoe]

this is exactly what we need

a pissed off and ready to attack manu ginobili

[Spurologist]

C'mon manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[TampaDude]

Manu at the line...that's 1...and 2...and 3!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

made all 3!!!

[spurs1990]

I'm on record. Love Manu Ginobili!

[Crookshanks]

I couldn't take it anymore - the volume is turned all the way down now! And, one of the announcers is Brent's brother - he show at least some love!

[Warlord23]

Welcome back Manu!

[Phil Hellmuth]

ok who is gonna be the first one to photoshop this pic for manu:

[aaronstampler]

That's right, keep dissing Manu you fucking haters. The guy is playing his heart out.

[Pistons < Spurs]

great steal by Bowen!!!

[Trifecta]

Is Pops working the refs like D'Antoni or is he sitting back with his "I don't want to get fined" look!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu
Manu
Manu

Respect.

[easjer]

You say you want him to drive then when he does you curse him. Typical


You are damn fucking right I do. Particularly when it happens twice in a row.

I've also called out Timmy and Tony for the same goddamned thing. Might as well take bad jump shots where you at least have a chance of a rebound.

I am pleased with Manu's aggressiveness, but I also want him to finish.

Since the injury, he's doing much better with that. I hope the refs continue to call evenly.

[Tippecanoe]

Ginobili!!!!!!!!!

[jackiel1219]

Manu for 3

[Spurologist]

Mmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
