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

[Capt Bringdown]

Fantastic quarter. Too bad we're not up by 20, but I'll take it.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great end to the quarter by our "no offense" lineup. All Manu.

Let's hear some props for Manu, c'mon, bring it.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I'm disappointed in the Spur players and coaches. If all it took to get Manu fired up was a black eye, I'd expect someone on the team would have hit him a long time ago!

[SpursFanFirst]

Manu with 1 eye > Manu with 2 eyes :lol


:tu

And the ATT Center is going crazy!!!

[Tippecanoe]

suns fans around the world now pissing their pants

[Ginofan]

On Manu's eye: is that bleeding under the skin?? It's hard to tell what exactly got cut.

[easjer]

Well done ending the quarter.

Well done by Manu coming back to life.

Better d for most of the quarter.

Keep it going for the fourth. EVERYONE maintain that aggression.

And make your fucking shots.

[ATXSPUR]

I think we should pay someone on the other team to pop manu in the eye every game.

looks like he's pissed now

[Tippecanoe]

Someone photoshop Manu into this pic:

[Ginofan]

:lmao

[ducks]

I hope the AT&T crowd is going NUTS!!!!

[jackiel1219]

Those David Blane commercials suck

[dbreiden83080]

This is this is what it is all about. Play hard and tough and we will win this one.

[ginobili fan]

manu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[atxrocker]

good job guys. refs taking you all the way. way to go.

[ambchang]

Hit Manu on the other eye!

[TampaDude]

Wow...I take back anything bad I said about Manu tonight...he's on fire! Maybe he should play with an eye patch or something... :lol

[TheSanityAnnex]

suns fans around the world now pissing their pants
Why?

You act as if this is game 7.

[aaronstampler]

Tony has 14 points on 15 shots, with 3 assists. Manu has 20 on 15 shots, with 4 assists. Perhaps you haters should look for a different target. Or better yet, just root for the whole team to do well.

[Tippecanoe]

holy shit. manu all of a sudden has 20 points

[nkdlunch]

GEEEENOOOOOOBLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

GEEEENOOOOOOBLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

GEEEENOOOOOOBLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

GEEEENOOOOOOBLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

GEEEENOOOOOOBLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

GEEEENOOOOOOBLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
















what a warrior!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:clap :clap :clap :clap

[dbreiden83080]

Nash and Amare will be factors here in the 4th this is going to be tight.

[Pistons < Spurs]

good job guys. refs taking you all the way. way to go.
Go Kings!



:rolleyes

[lefty]

Someone photoshop Manu into this pic:

Good idea

But I won't do it

[Trifecta]

Well done ending the quarter.

Well done by Manu coming back to life.

Better d for most of the quarter.

Keep it going for the fourth. EVERYONE maintain that aggression.

And make your fucking shots.


Thanks POPS for the pep talk :toast

Let's go SPURS -- Strip any freakin' confidence Phoenix had away this last qtr!!!!!

[smeagol]

Fuck the mother fucking Manu haters!!!!!!!

[TheSanityAnnex]

Those David Blane commercials suck
Not as bad as the T.G.I.F. commercials. Fuck I can't stand them.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great coach by Pop not playing Elson in the 3rd

[ducks]

does ducks have to have manu in his avatar now on?

[spurs1990]

12 minutes and the NBA championship is virtually locked!

[sprrs]

BAD move by Tony. There was still 4 seconds left on the clock and he shoots a desperation shot five feet behind the three point line. Pop's gonna have something to say about that.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

good job guys. refs taking you all the way. way to go.

Yeah, that was all refs... :rolleyes

Fuckwit.

[Spurs Brazil]

Did you see Raja on Bruce

[Ginofan]

Better keep it there ducks just in case.

[Crookshanks]

good job guys. refs taking you all the way. way to go.
You really are an idiot! Did you see the freethrow disparity in that quarter? Why don't you go watch YOUR team play - oh that's right they didn't even MAKE the playoffs? :p:

[TampaDude]

Time to make a statement, Spurs! Beat these guys down in the 4th! GO SPURS GO!!!

[Ginofan]

Oh Yeah

[Spurs Brazil]

5th on AMARE

[ambchang]

good job guys. refs taking you all the way. way to go.
Even though I agree with the homecooking (Amare's 4th foul, Duncan's non-foul on Nash's block), I am a little irked by that commentators remarks. Whenever the Spurs benefit, which was quite often, he jumps on it immediately, but whenever the Suns benefit, he kept saying how "difficult" it is to spot those calls, or "that's tough to catch" when it was so obvious to me, who is watching through TV.

[Pistons < Spurs]

5 on Stoudawhiner

[TampaDude]

That's 5 on Stoudy!

[MannyIsGod]

HAHAHAHA - HE'S SO FUCKING DUMB!

Let him dunk dumbass!

[Budkin]

LOL Amare!!!

[SpursFanFirst]

Amare with 5

[Trifecta]

Spurs -- concentrate on winning the qtr!!!

[Vingianx]

Stoudafoul

[ducks]

Amare With 5

[ambchang]

Amare is getting totally owned in this game, hilarious. Hopefully he will learn to shut his mouth.

[Sweetey]

Stoudemire picks up #5 ! Wooooohoooooo !

[Phil Hellmuth]

LOW IQ AMARE!!!

stick to whining that takes no smarts.

[ShoogarBear]

Tim should have finished that one.

[Capt Bringdown]

Extremely smart play going straight at Amare. Love it!

[lefty]

Amare with 5

Did u press Shift+5 ?

[Cry Havoc]

Anyone who says we have the refs on our side, please look at Manu's face and note that it happened on a NON-call.

[Ginofan]

lol back to the bench he goes, why don't you do some pushups while you're over there Amare....

[SpursFanFirst]

82--72, Spurs

[Budkin]

Timmy!

[Jimcs50]

Looks like Barkley's Phoenix record is going to be safe.

[SpursFanFirst]

Did u press Shift+5 ?

Yeah, on accident

[Pistons < Spurs]

Manu!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu 33333333333333333333333333333

[Budkin]

[ambchang]

Oh man, Manu is on fire!

[aaronstampler]

I think he's got his shot.

[Spurologist]

maaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Admidave50]

Manu has gone locoooooooo

[Cry Havoc]

Manuuuuuu I <3 youuuuu.

[Beaverfuzz]

I want a black eye like Manu

[Budkin]

Nash coming back...

[Tippecanoe]

[Ginofan]

Does anyone know if Finley is hurt, Just wondering since Barry is playing so much.

[lefty]

Yeah, on accident

I hope so :p:

[sprrs]

MANUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!

Those threes that made me cringe earlier are money when he's in rythm :spin

[spurs1990]

Mea culpa all you Manu detractors!!!!!!!

[Budkin]

Nice D Horry.

[Ginofan]

Nevermind, lol

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

SPURS by 12!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tdmvp

[conversekid]

Manu, welcome to the 2007 Playoffs.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Tin Duncan is a killer!

[TampaDude]

Manu again! Too bad it was only a 2...but we'll take it!

TD to the BANK!!!

[Budkin]

Timmy!!!!

[yeahone]

timmy on fireeeeeeeeeee

[Tippecanoe]

timmy!!

[ambchang]

What was that? Duncan was amazing!
Damn Nash.

[jackiel1219]

Nash wideopen for 3

[Budkin]

Fucking 3 by Nash... grrrr

[Jelly]

I almost skipped this game cause my heart couldn't take it. But the Spurs have been on fire since the 3rd and the crowd looks like it going WILD! GO SPURS. 12 point lead.

[lefty]

Stupid open 3 :bang :bang

[jackiel1219]

Finley can't buy a bucket

[Capt Bringdown]

Huge 3 from Nash

[Budkin]

shit shot manu

[Pistons < Spurs]

Does anyone know if Finley is hurt, Just wondering since Barry is playing so much.
nope didn't hear anything. I think they just stuck with what was working for a while.

[Tippecanoe]

well, it was about time he came back to earth

[ATXSPUR]

damnit finley and gino.....stop the jumpers...keep driving

[Budkin]

hahah Kurt

[ducks]

Spurs Needs To Pass The Ball

[Cry Havoc]

Nash has 5 minutes LESS of PT than Marion this game :wtf

[Budkin]

Drive this shit!!!

[yeahone]

timmy and manu is really fired up tonight

[Jelly]

Man...someone put a curse on the Suns big time!

[Budkin]

I Love My Spurs!!!

[LaMarcus Bryant]

OMG we need to close this shit out, lay down the hammer while they're down

GO SPURRRRSSS

[ducks]

Damm Tp Has 5 Rebounds
Bowen Has 9
Do Suns Rebound?

[mavsfan1000]

Go refs go! Go refs go!

[nkdlunch]

comeon man. pass it to DUncan all the way.

[aaronstampler]

Manu, welcome to the 2007 Playoffs.


Oh, Fuck You. Clearly you weren't paying attention to games 2-4 with Denver.

[Ginofan]

We. Got. This.

[Jimcs50]

OMG we need to close this shit out, lay down the hammer while they're down

GO SPURRRRSSS

No worries.

[Admidave50]

All Spurs fans should draw a black eye for the next game! haha

[SpursFanFirst]

Man...someone put a curse on the Suns big time!

It was the Nash voodoo doll that someone has in their sig. I can't remember who it is :tu

[nkdlunch]

Barry came to play. FInley is sucking on D

[Jimcs50]

Oh, Fuck You. Clearly you weren't paying attention to games 2-4 with Denver.

He has ADHD

[Budkin]

We need to keep pushing... no lead is safe in this series.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Bowen on Nash---effective or not?

[easjer]

Spurs need to hit their shots.

I keep saying this.

But it's true. They need to answer every point PHX makes and then they need to build the lead. A couple more missed shots could put this in jeopardy and make it a shoot out which doesn't favor us.

Better ball movement and made shots are important now.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Duncan with SEVENTEEN boards


damn, I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!!!!!

[TampaDude]

Not over yet...but looking good...just don't give the Suns any more easy 3s!!!

[ATXSPUR]

start taking smarter shot selections. I dont want to see another jumper in this game unless it is a wide open THREE!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

damnit finley and gino.....stop the jumpers...keep driving

Yup.

Finley had an open lane to the bucket once he got Nash is the air, and Manu should've passed when he got held up.

POUND IT INSIDE. We work best inside out, let's use that.

[ducks]

Bowen on Nash---effective or not?
NO TP

[Jimcs50]

Barry came to play. FInley is sucking on D

showing off in front of his big bro

[themvp]

Amare's face look is priceless :lol

[Spurologist]

TD should get a touch every time down.

Marion has switched to Manu.

TP has to look to get to the rim.

[nkdlunch]

slow it down. clamp down on D. comeon. we got this

[Budkin]

Bowen on Nash---effective or not?

Yes but it leaves their shooters too wide open.

[RashoFan]

We. Got. This.

[TampaDude]

We need to keep pushing... no lead is safe in this series.

WERD...unless you are up 30+, you can still lose...

[Pistons < Spurs]

All Spurs fans should draw a black eye for the next game! haha
:lmao :lmao great idea!

[Tek_XX]

No easy points for the Suns. No three's!!!!

[ATXSPUR]

Spurs need to hit their shots.

I keep saying this.

But it's true. They need to answer every point PHX makes and then they need to build the lead. A couple more missed shots could put this in jeopardy and make it a shoot out which doesn't favor us.

Better ball movement and made shots are important now.

true...this game is not close to over...we have to keep playing smart.

[nkdlunch]

Amare looks defeated. what a weak minded fool.

[Ginofan]

He has ADHD
:lol

[Budkin]

KT holding the jersey... nice...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim needs to DRIVE at Kurt, not back him down.

[yeahone]

the great defender is really tugging timmyyyyy

[Budkin]

Sweet.

[sprrs]

Kurt Thomas = Duncan stopper/jersey grabber

[Jelly]

Go refs go! Go refs go!

shouldn't you be shooting darts or playing pool with Dirk right now?

[ducks]

http://www.ktjk.com/#

[Budkin]

Nice draw Horry!!!

[lefty]

KT holding the jersey... nice...

And Jon Barry ripping him :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Shawn Marion misses 2 ft. jump shot. :lmao

[ambchang]

Horry is too smart for the common defender.

[ATXSPUR]

we are seriously lucky phoenix hasnt cut in to this lead....stupid shots the last few possesions.

[RashoFan]

It was the Nash voodoo doll that someone has in their sig. I can't remember who it is :tu
Would that be mine??? :D

[yeahone]

finley rebounding with alot of aggression

[Ginofan]

Damn Kurt Thomas must want into Timmy's pants real bad the way he keeps pulling out his shorts.

[Budkin]

That crack to the eye was just what Manu needed.

[cornbread]

The Suns are so dirty.

[SpursFanFirst]

Would that be mine??? :D

:lol that's the one! Way to go!

[yeahone]

play smart spurs and we would win guys

[Budkin]

Nice shot by Nash.

[jackiel1219]

Nash shot decides to show up in the 4th quarter

[Pistons < Spurs]

Timmy!!!

[yeahone]

[Budkin]

[aaronstampler]

[Ginofan]

Holy shit they actually called a tech on D'Antoni???? Pigs must be flying!

[Cry Havoc]

[Cry Havoc]

Does someone have that pic of D'Antoni as Hitler?

[RashoFan]

:lol that's the one! Way to go!
Thank You!!!

[jackiel1219]

Why do they always delegate the T to the assistant coaches on the Suns?

[MannyIsGod]

Kurt Thomas is a monster on D

[conversekid]

Duncan is Money.

[Pistons < Spurs]

punk ass bitches....gave the T to D'antoni's brother... :rolleyes

[Vingianx]

Timmay The Silent Killer

[Warlord23]

Best ... Power Forward ... Ever

[aaronstampler]

OMG on his brother. What the fuck does Mike D have to do to get one?

[Sweetey]

Technical on D'Antoni -- the big fuckin crybaby ! He hasn't stopped crying since this game began !!

[yeahone]

timmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[resistanze]

Tim Duncan is just money.

[Budkin]

UN-stoppable baby!!!!!

[Trifecta]

D'Antoni will try to adjust to TD now by adding a 6th player on the floor to double team Timmy!

[Tippecanoe]

kinda late to the party stevie

[SpursFanFirst]

Nevermind...the "T" was on his brother...whatever...a d'Antoni still picked up a T

[Budkin]

shitty D right there.... grrr...

[Capt Bringdown]

Too much time left

[yeahone]

the way this guys commentationg you would think the suns are leading

[ATXSPUR]

"if any team can erase this deficit its the phoenix suns"

[ATXSPUR]

"if any team can erase this deficit its the phoenix suns"

thank you captain obvious

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Timmy and Nash are holding SUPERSTAR CLUTCH SHOOTING class right now...

[Trifecta]

Bout time D'Antoni was T'd up!

When he gets like this -- he knows the end is near!

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Must
Not
Give Up
Easy
Shots!!!!@

[aaronstampler]

Please run the two man game with Tim and Manu.

[lefty]

Duncan is M-V-P !

[Ginofan]

Nevermind...the "T" was on his brother...whatever...a d'Antoni still picked up a T
:lol i was thinking the same thing.

[Admidave50]

shitty D right there.... grrr...

Can't do much on the last play, 5 vs 4 I believe

[nkdlunch]

damn if Duncan made that jumper this game would be over.

LMAO they called T on D'antoni's brother, but not him. bullshit

[Phil Hellmuth]

Duncan read that Bill Simmons Article

[Kobulingam]

Moving pick by Thomas on Parker.

[MannyIsGod]

I can't beleive the monster job Kurt Thomas has done shutting down Tim Duncan 2 games in a row now. It is flat out amazing. It is like Tim Duncan isn't even there.

Kurt Thomas, DPOY

[Tek_XX]

The only take so much growling from his brother.

[Shelly]

My bad...I walked into the room after the tech on Dan Dantoni (:lol) and the Suns started playing well.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Timmy w/ 28 & 17 so far!!! fucking killing them!!

[Budkin]

Come on Spurs... no let down here...

[Sweetey]

Nevermind...the "T" was on his brother...whatever...a d'Antoni still picked up a T
What did he do? Mikey hasn't shut his damn mouth since the game began!

[TampaDude]

Too much time left

Yup...we gotta hold the lead until 2:00, then it's FT time... :hat

[RashoFan]

Kurt Thomas is a monster on D
and to his own body..have you seen him slap himself in the head when he gets frustrated??

[nkdlunch]

Bout time D'Antoni was T'd up!

When he gets like this -- he knows the end is near!

he didn't his brother did. :madrun

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan is M-V-P !

He's outplaying Dirk this week in the playoffs, that's for sure.

[ATXSPUR]

lets not get too excited people....we are still taking bad shots and nash is hitting everything right now.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

parker has been extremely quiet

he's still stuck at 14 points

[ballhog]

Can't do much on the last play, 5 vs 4 I believe

Ginobili was still in the first row.

[Kobulingam]

Duncan could have stepped in for the bank.

[Budkin]

Keep pounding it in to Timmy baby! They have no answer for him!

[nkdlunch]

Duncan is God

[ShoogarBear]

Kurt Thomas is doing as good a job as anyone could. Duncan is just back to being the flat-out best player in the league, by a wide margin.

[easjer]

It's true. A 14 point lead is now 10.

Lot of bb left to play. They have got to slow it down and answer point for point. No more bad shots. Make them or get the rebound.

The D needs to keep it up and clamp down more if they can (I realize some shots are going in no matter what).

[JMarkJohns]

Suns blew their chances, Spurs made a couple great pre-game/in-game adjustments, then got hot at the right time. Congrats... I'm fairly certain this game is over.

With the Suns you never know, but I have to leave shortly after 8:00, so I wanted to drop the line before I left. If things change, then nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, but the way it's going right now, it's highly unlikely.

You defense on Nash tonight has been the bes I've ever seen. Turn the corner and another, turn back, yet another, shake 'im loose, still another. Terrible games by great players are a credit to defense, little else.

[howbouthemspurs]

Manu is back!!!!!

[despurs]

kurt thomas cant guard timmy

[TheSanityAnnex]

If Nash continues at this pace, the end of this game should be great.

[Ginofan]

My bad...I walked into the room after the tech on Dan Dantoni (:lol) and the Suns started playing well.
Back to the freezer with you Shelly! :lol

[Kobulingam]

Could be a 16 point lead now. Couple bad bounces and it's 10.

[mavsfan1000]

Who of the big 3 was the most valuable ref for the spurs tonight?

[Spurologist]

and to his own body..have you seen him slap himself in the head when he gets frustrated??

either that or hitting the padding under the basket are his signiture plays

[Budkin]

Damn...

[Cry Havoc]

93 - 83 for those interested.

Duncan has 28-17 and 2. Wow.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Mike Dantoni DID get the T!!!!

[yeahone]

great dd spursssssssss

[ducks]

parker has been extremely quiet

he's still stuck at 14 points
MANU HAS BEEN ON FIRE

[Trifecta]

Clock is not ticking away fast enough for me!!!!

[ambchang]

Gotta slow the pace down, slow it down guys. 6:00 minutes to go.

[jackiel1219]

Mike D did get that Technical

[yeahone]

suns in foul trouble

[Shelly]

Back to the freezer with you Shelly! :lol

I know!!! Don't tell 1P1 I was watching!

[TampaDude]

That's 4 on KT...

[Cry Havoc]

Who of the big 3 was the most valuable ref for the spurs tonight?

Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, and Monta Ellis. :lmao
