[itzsoweezee]

can any good soul help me...
i can only hear chipmunk voice on ktjk.com audio stream, what will i do to make it its natural voice?

ANYONE.... Thanks!

nba.com has a spurs audio stream.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Please no... JV, don't let that go to your head. :lol

[easjer]

Allright.

Let's get this together.

D needs to tighten up.

[spursjustice]

vaughn? who's vaughn? lol....

Go Jacques!!!!

[L.I.T]

All signs point to...this is gonna be a great game. But uhhhh...there is it just me or are the whistles a bit fast today?

[Cry Havoc]

Please no... JV, don't let that go to your head. :lol

Right now he's got an A+ from Timvp's daily ratings. :P

[Gros Membres!]

TD making something out of nothing and getting one on Marion. TD's basketball IQ consistently amazes me.

[easjer]

Good. Tim hitting FTs early.

[1SUNSFAN]

Diaw burns Duncan.... 24-20 SUNS!

[easjer]

Good job Vaughn.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Vaughn!!!!

[Ginofan]

I love your confidence, Mandy! I think you're right, btw.
Thanks GD! I'm much more calm right now than I was last game but I'm sure I'll be getting rowdy in mere minutes :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Vaughn tracker: A+++++ so far.

[Spurologist]

VAUGHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNn

AGAIN

[aaronstampler]

nice play by barry on that rebound

[yeahone]

JV stroking it tonight

[Gros Membres!]

Barry should have taken that ti the rack.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Freakin JV, huh? :lmao

It's like they looked for him on that play!

Okay, NOW STOP!!!!

[yeahone]

good D spurs

[Cry Havoc]

What a great D play by Horry.

[Ginofan]

:lmao Marion crying in the Suns owners lap

[Cry Havoc]

Eep. Marion looks hurt. :(

Hope he's ok.

[lefty]

Marion giving a blowjob to his owner !!!! :lol :lol :lol

[Mojazz]

nba.com has a spurs audio stream.

thanks for the reply man, but the audio on nba.com was the same chipmunk voice! I think i have to do something with the settings or anything... Is there anyone can help?! Thanks!

[Spurologist]

:lmao

MARION kneeling down to SARVER.

WHOA

[easjer]

I think this is the best I've seen of Vaughn, foul aside.

Bonner?!?!

[yeahone]

bonner seeing some time

[lefty]

Bonneeeeeeeeeeeeeeer

[Ginofan]

Red Rocket Sighting!!!!

[aaronstampler]

god we've already played 11 people

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The D looks really active tonight, and the tempo is perfect for us. Now we just need to stop throwing the ball away.

[yeahone]

Bonnerrrrrrrrrrrr

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

WTF was that?

[lefty]

Barry WTF ????????/ :wtf

[Amuseddaysleeper]

only down 2 but WTF was that final play??

[Budkin]

Haha WTF was that last attempt?

[Cry Havoc]

Should have been a foul.

Oh well. This game is to our pace so far, especially with the Suns coming out of the gates hot. I like our chances.

[aaronstampler]

Considering how terrible we're playing, it's a miracle we're down 2.

[Gros Membres!]

Circus is in town. Like the Bonner move there at the end. Would have liked to have seen Barry pull up there at the end.

[GrandeDavid]

That was INCREDIBLY sloppy that last possession to end the quarter. But down 2, I'll take it.

[gaKNOW!blee]

Barry quit being a pussy, shoot the damn ball.

[spurs1990]

WTF was that?


that was our GSW impersonation

[Pistons < Spurs]

slow start to the qtr, but the guys got it going. And it's nice to see some of those bonus plays by guys you don't necessarily always count on, like Vaughn

[easjer]

Good hustle there, missed walk there, and then another turnover.

Sigh.

They got to fix that shit. At least they kept them from scoring, so good there. But still. Stuff to fix. Lucky to only be down 2 after that bad start.

[01Snake]

Barry is a puss. Take that shit to the rim!

[yeahone]

we did not play great and trail only by two

[Budkin]

Spurs are in pretty good shape being down only 2.

[Ginofan]

I don't know wtf that last offensive possession was but, not a terrible quarter. Must definitely do better in the next.

[Admidave50]

bad pass by barry

[Budkin]

Vaughn hitting a couple of nice Js.

[Tippecanoe]

pretty balanced scoring so far. 7 guys with points, no one with more than 4

[ShoogarBear]

I'm just joining the thread, but WHAT THE FOG was that candy-ass pass by Barry to Vaughn when he had a layup attempt?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Go red rocket!

I like the way we're playing, good energy, great D.

Things I would do in the second - when Tim's on, lots of 4 down, get their big guys in foul trouble. At other times, motion O.

As for the D, just keep doing what you're doing!

[itzsoweezee]

down 2. not bad for being outplayed in every single facet of the game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Ei Grande, jogo 5 também na TV, 23h:30m

[spurs1990]

11 players got run in that 1st qt

[Amuseddaysleeper]

we're 3-4 form downtown while phoenix is 1-4

[1SUNSFAN]

More BACKBOARD. Spurs got to use more backboard... ;)

[Ginofan]

I'm just joining the thread, but WHAT THE FOG was that candy-ass pass by Barry to Vaughn when he had a layup attempt?
What the fog? :lol that's a new one.

[easjer]

Hope they stop the turnovers and weird passes or it's going to be a long night. D looking better at the end.

Want them to be more aggressive still. Like that they were getting better towards the end. Hoping for a much improved 2nd quarter.

Remarkably few fouls.

[exstatic]

3 very bad things for PHO:
1. Nash is hitting and you're only up 2
2. Duncan swished his first two. Whne he does that he shoots like 80% for the game.
3. Jacques Vaughn just buried two right in your faces.

[spurs1990]

100 percent on FT's too.

[Spurologist]

we're 3-4 form downtown while phoenix is 1-4

that's what keeping it close.

suns +6 rebounds

[GrandeDavid]

slow start to the qtr, but the guys got it going. And it's nice to see some of those bonus plays by guys you don't necessarily always count on, like Vaughn

EXACTLY!

[milkyway21]

2 pt game. I'm awake now :lol

:wakeup

[easjer]

And I mean that in an overall observational way, not a crying way.

[Ginofan]

Barry found his nuts again?

[Pistons < Spurs]

Barry!!!!

[Gros Membres!]

Nice Barry!!!

[Ginofan]

Nice draw Manu!

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice D MAnuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[TampaDude]

O foul! No bucket! Yes!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

No wonder there's an obesity epidemic in the US - check out that KFC chicken bowl thing... fat, layered with more fat, throw a little corn in, then some fat, and top it with jack cheese (aka LARD).

Bluuuuuurggh! :lol

[Cry Havoc]

YES! Great D spurs.

[Marcus Bryant]

O foul on Dirty.

[Pistons < Spurs]

2 on Amare

[Cry Havoc]

AMARE! That's TWO BABY!

[Ginofan]

Numero DOS on Amare :lol

[1SUNSFAN]

Nice draw Manu!

Yeah! Way to go FLOPPIE!

[Spurs Brazil]

2nd on AMamre

[GrandeDavid]

2nd foul on Stouds!

[Gros Membres!]

Let's take it right to Stoudemire now.

[ShoogarBear]

OMG, they've been calling fouls on Amare all year!!! :madrun

[Ginofan]

Nice play!!!

[Cry Havoc]

What a pass. What a freaking pass.

[Ginofan]

Ugh Manu you had the whole 24!

[easjer]

Damn it Manu, cut that shit out.

[GrandeDavid]

Elson is way to chaotic. Freaking foul machine.

[easjer]

REBOUND the BALL.

[Gros Membres!]

Once again proving the point that Nash does nothing but concentrate on defense...burned by Barry.

[Cry Havoc]

So far, I think the officiating has been spot on tonight.

[1SUNSFAN]

MANU keep shooting that ugly shit!

[Warlord23]

Small ball + Elson? WTF?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great Horry pass.

That Manu 3 looked in and just caught the front lip.

Now we're playing their tempo... smallball lineup!?!?

[easjer]

Again, Manu, cut that shit out.

Two wastes in a row.

[yeahone]

hit those shot gino

[Ginofan]

Nice dunk and assist!

[easjer]

Much nicer Manu! Good pass.

[Cry Havoc]

WHOA Elson!!!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

Perfect!!!! nice throw down!!

[yeahone]

elsonnnnnnnnn

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu to Elson - lovely!

[1SUNSFAN]

NICE! Thow Elson on his face! Stupid ASS!

[Spurs Brazil]

Elson Dunk!!!!

[yeahone]

manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[milkyway21]

Spurs 3-6 3pt 50%:tu

Suns 1-4 3pt 25%

defense:
Spurs allowing Suns 50% FG :td

Score : tied @ 28 pts

[Ginofan]

And ONE BITCHES!

[Spurologist]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

AND1

30-28 spurs

FT coming

[Gros Membres!]

Gino needs to quit taking the 3. Nice Elson dunk. Way to finish, GINO!!!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

you can't stop that!!!

[easjer]

Nice job there Manu!

Good job!

See how attacking works better?

[01Snake]

Niiiiiiiiiice!

[spursrocksocks]

tbag by elson

[Cry Havoc]

That's IT! I was SCREAMING at Manu, "GO TO THE RIM! GO TO THE RIM!"

...


...


HE WENT TO THE RIM!!!!

[TampaDude]

Manuuuuu....and 1!

[Ginofan]

"Go for THREEEE" :lol

[GrandeDavid]

Ginobili!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aaronstampler]

We are playing some crazy weird line-ups right now. No way Phx could have prepared for this.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu And One!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jaespur21]

Suns some dirty ass players

[NBA Junkie]

Ball movement looking good.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

SEE, Manu CAN go right! I've been saying ti all series, they overguard him left bigtime, so go right!!! Finally! :D

[lefty]

We are playing some crazy weird line-ups right now. No way Phx could have prepared for this.

CIA Pop all season long :smokin

[Cry Havoc]

See Manu, wasn't that easier than clanging a three?

[GrandeDavid]

Gino needs to quit taking the 3. Nice Elson dunk. Way to finish, GINO!!!!!

A lot happened during this post! :lol

Its happened to me as well.

[Admidave50]

This lineup is looking good! Good ball movement

[yeahone]

i like how we controlling the tempo and pop rotation....genius pop ...duncan is out of the game and weplaying s ogood thats great

[dbreiden83080]

Put the 3's away for a while Manu and keep driving the ball.

[Cry Havoc]

Good post GiG. Way to make excellent use of the game thread.

[spurs1990]

Onward to Utah my friends!

[Supergirl]

Yeah...weird lineup. 4 guards (Manu, Barry, Finley, Parker) and Elson. Weird.

We've got the lead, and TD isn't even back in the game. This is good.

[Spurologist]

TP is extremely active on pick and roll D. Him and Elson forced Diaw to pass to Barbosa for a contested 3.

:tu

Plus manu is now in controlled choas mode

6,000 posts nice

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu looks LOOSE tonight, very good sign.

We're playing them at their tempo now and it looks like Pop WANTS IT THAT WAY. Very interesting. No doubt it will slow again when Tim comes back.

This energy lineup has done well so far though. Keep it up!

[gaKNOW!blee]

Onward to Utah my friends!


stop

[GrandeDavid]

This is beautiful cuz Tim is getting lots of rest now!

[1SUNSFAN]

Onward to Utah my friends!

Oh? Is that where the Spurs are going fishing? I hear there's good fishing in UTAH.

[aaronstampler]

I agree, he shouldn't be taking so many 3s, but if you're wide fucking open, what are you supposed to do? Nobody's on him.

[NBA Junkie]

Getting contributions from some unexpected sources so far.

[Supergirl]

Barbosa and Stoudewhiner with 2 fouls already.

[aaronstampler]

I can't believe Duncan is still out.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Onward to Utah my friends!

Please stop calling it WAY TOO EARLY. You keep doing this and it annoys the shit out of me. :devil

[Admidave50]

LOL @ Bruce doing some Yoga

[aaronstampler]

that was a nice set up from tony, barry just missed the shot

[easjer]

I'm glad Barry took the open shot, but he looked like he was playing hot potato more than shooting.

[Ginofan]

Tony!!!!!

[aaronstampler]

damn tony is fast

[TampaDude]

Tony! Coast to Coast!!!

[yeahone]

t parkkkkkon the fast break

[Warlord23]

TP with the break!

[NBA Junkie]

Nice defense Nash.

[Spurologist]

Can't stop tp on the break

[Pistons < Spurs]

that little frenchman is just too damn quick!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That was GREAT D all the way forcing the TO.

Excelllent. We are really hustling on D. That's what wins us games.

[Ginofan]

Bank is OPEN!

[yeahone]

timmyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[easjer]

NICELY DONE Timmy et al

[Pistons < Spurs]

up 5 baby!!!!

put them away!!!

[TampaDude]

TD to the BANK!

[lefty]

Ddddddddddddd

[Admidave50]

Wow Speedy TOnyyyy!

[yeahone]

parkerrrrrrrrrr

[Ginofan]

Tony is on a roll!

[Warlord23]

Parker on fayaaaaaaaa

[Cry Havoc]

Parker is playing amazing on both sides right now.

37-32 Spurs!

[Marcus Bryant]

Small ball working well.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice D

[Budkin]

I love what I'm seeing from the guys! GO SPURS GO!

[TampaDude]

Timeout...momentum killer...

[easjer]

I am loving the paint and the energy and attention on D. The Suns are starting to rely on quick jumpers.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TP and Timmy are playing now! :)

I think we've scouted Nash really well - he is turning it over a lot more than usual. We're picking his passing lanes really well.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i love my spurs :tu

[YODA]

Can anyone confirm if TD ever had a bankshot from the right block in the past??? ALL I ever remember was the bank shot from the left post. I think he developed it this year. Is this just me or has anyone else noticed this?

Yoda

[dbreiden83080]

The D is great and the tempo after the slow start is all Spurs right now, hopefully they can push this lead a bit before the half.

[Supergirl]

Spurs actually being outrebounded right now 17-12. I certainly hope that changes. I think it will.

[yeahone]

how they say the brazillian blur isquicker than parker

[aaronstampler]

We've already had 9 guys score and Horry, one of the few who haven't, has 4 assists.
Suns have spread it out pretty well too, with 8 scorers.

[conversekid]

THe TNT in my hotel has some stupid movie on!

[NBA Junkie]

Keep up the aggressiveness on both ends of the floor.

[dbreiden83080]

Can anyone confirm if TD ever had a bankshot from the right block in the past??? ALL I ever remember was the bank shot from the left post. I think he developed it this year. Is this just me or has anyone else noticed this?

Yoda

I think he had it before just not last year because of his foot.

[Spurologist]

I wonder how tape jobs Marion has to do on his ankles before the game in preparation to guard tp??

He will definately need another tape job @ halftime

[milkyway21]

I can't believe Duncan is still out.i believe Horry is no contest a playoff standout performer-4 assts so far.:clap

[easjer]

Paint? Uh, tempo.

God, I suck at typing when people are talking to me.

Yeah - Go Spurs - keep THIS up!

[GrandeDavid]

I love how the Spurs are really setting the tempo now.

[TampaDude]

THe TNT in my hotel has some stupid movie on!

What city are you in?

[YODA]

I think he had it before just not last year because of his foot.


I dont recall him having it before that injury either, in fact not ever. Guess I could be wrong, but you would think you would recall somethign liek that.



Yoda

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yoda

Nah, he's always had that shot, but he doesn't pull it out much during the reg season. In fact, he rarely goes right block in the reg.

His post game in the playoffs has been>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>better and more varied than the reg season.

I watch this stuff very closely. ;)

[Marcus Bryant]

Jacque Vaughn starts the Suns' break.

[GrandeDavid]

Stupidest turnover I've ever seen. Nice, Vaughn.

[1SUNSFAN]

DUNCAN gets BLOCKED!

[naico]

nice coaching job by pop..
givin' parker breathers now and then..
were benefiting on defense

[midgetonadonkey]

Damn. This game is going to be close.

[Spurs Brazil]

JV KILLED our run

[ShoogarBear]

Put Parker back in, fercrissake!

[Warlord23]

Here they go with the half-assed execution

[conversekid]

FOund it.. yeah

[1SUNSFAN]

Nice flop Bell! Must have learned that from Manu ;)

[GrandeDavid]

What shitty play.

[TampaDude]

I take back what I said...that timeout totally killed the Spurs' momentum...

[easjer]

Damn it.

Get Tony back out there. They came out of that time out flat. And Suns came out aggressive.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Something Tim doesn't use any more is his LEFT HAND. He used to use it a lot more, but he's gotten lazy with it.

[naico]

and when you think spurs are controling...

[Marcus Bryant]

WTF? Dude wasn't set.

[lefty]

DUNCAN gets BLOCKED!
:troll :troll :troll

[naico]

Take The Fucking Rebound

[Cry Havoc]

Slop ball.... wow.

[1SUNSFAN]

LOL! Stupid Duncan! CHARGE! :)

[NBA Junkie]

Kurt Thomas is killing us!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

after that timeout we have completely fallen apart


terrible timeout by Pop when we had momentum

[lefty]

BS call

[Spurologist]

Jack FUCK YOU Nies

[Admidave50]

Fuck it, not playing so well since the timeout!

[easjer]

BULLSHIT.

ALL the way.

Get a rebound. BAD CALL.

[midgetonadonkey]

Good foul.

[Deb]

Stupid refs with bad call on Dunc

[Ginofan]

Come on guys shake it off.

[1SUNSFAN]

WOW! Nash is MVP!

[Cry Havoc]

LOL! Stupid Duncan! CHARGE! :)

Yep. Spurs get all the calls. Esp. with the restricted area.

If you lose this game, you have NO way to say that we're getting all the calls.

[TampaDude]

Horrible call by the refs there...

[1SUNSFAN]

Make up call

[Supergirl]

Hmm, 2 offensive fouls called on the Spurs, and now they're being outrebounded badly. DON'T LET THE REFS LET MAKE YOU START PLAYING SOFT. Bang them all down. GO SPURS GO.

[01Snake]

Fuck U Nies!

[yeahone]

kurt thomas s buying onto the hype that he cn guard duncan

[ShoogarBear]

That jackass with that stupid ass blog will conveniently miss that bullshit charge call.

[Admidave50]

Fuck these offensive fouls with this midget Nash!

[Marcus Bryant]

after that timeout we have completely fallen apart


terrible timeout by Pop when we had momentum


No kidding. He doubled down by subbing Vaughn for TP.

[lefty]

WOW! Nash is MVP!
:troll :troll :troll

[Deb]

Thomas had that little baby stomp thing going on there when he was called for the foul

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Gerryatrics]

Pop Dammit! The offense was rolling, so Pop calls a timeout, pulls Barry and totally kills the momentum. If it's not broken, don't fix it!

[CosmicCowboy]

I still like the way this game is playing out. Could definitely use a few less turnovers.

[easjer]

Fuck. 21 seconds of good defense means nothing if you let them have an easy basket on second 22.

Time to step up and score. Good job TImmy.

[1SUNSFAN]

Listen to all the whiners in San Antonio! Wow!

[Admidave50]

OMG his foot was clearly in the circle!!

[Ginofan]

:lmao Thomas gets so effin' emotional when he gets called for a foul. I swear he was going to make his hand bleed last game with how hard he was punching the basketball pole when he got whistled.

[conversekid]

get up tim! you look like stephen jackson!

[ambchang]

Why do they kept saying Thomas is continuing to do a good job on Duncan?
Come on man, Duncan has burned him over and over.

[Pistons < Spurs]

nice shot timmy.........but wtf were you doing just laying on the floor? quit asking for a foul and get your ass up.

[NBA Junkie]

after that timeout we have completely fallen apart


terrible timeout by Pop when we had momentum

Word!

[milkyway21]

Suns 1-7 3pt FG keep doin' what you're doing Suns

[dbreiden83080]

What a shit call that was come on refs.

[aaronstampler]

Manu has Nash on him and we're throwing it into Timmy...

[Kobulingam]

Manu is tooo tentative it's not even funny.

[hitmanyr2k]

nice shot timmy.........but wtf were you doing just laying on the floor? quit asking for a foul and get your ass up.

Agreed. Don't pull the wide-eyed whining crap tonight.

[Budkin]

Spurs better close this half well.

[lefty]

Parker :wtf :wtf :wtf u are not Nash, what's with the tough shot?

[Spurs Brazil]

we were doing great until the worst pass all time by JV

[GrandeDavid]

WTF? Dude wasn't set.

That was a charge, good call. But at least Nash paid the price and got trained.

[dbreiden83080]

Tim is going to have to start taking over and Tony needs to get in the lane more.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

LOL! Stupid Duncan! CHARGE! :)

Did you watch the replay, numb-nuts? Nash was inside the circle. :rolleyes

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pop better hope we win this game. If not, that dumbass timeout where we had all the momentum, and he promptly killed it and finished it off by inserting Vaughn for Parker when Tony was running roughshod on Phoenix will go down as the turning point in the damn game.

For you Popsuckers, that's the kind of shit that makes me hate the fucking idiot.

[Kobulingam]

Pop should have put Parker in after that timeout.
