Round 2, Game 5: Spurs vs Suns Official Game Blog Thread

[UV Ray]

TNT already making excuses for Spurs to lose. Eat that up Spurs fans.

The Real Mvp Seve-0 Will This This Team To A Victory

[powerpower]

QUESTION?????????


IF we lose this game whould you start MANU??? or will you bench him :depressed

[Spurminator]

Well it's not like Diaw and Amare were defensive juggernauts.

[milkyway21]

looks like the Spurs are not ready to face the same team who's playing well despite losing Amare to injury last yr.

this is not the Spurs that we used to know. a lot of missed shots. absolutely no asst from TP.

[Supergirl]

Quick analysis :

-Spurs sucked

-Spurs were surprised by this line-up during the 1st quarter

-Suns are better without Amare

1. Yes.

2. Spurs played scared, afraid they'd get a foul call every possession. Settled for too many jump shots. Virtually every layup they attempted went in. They need to learn from that.

3. No. Suns playing on adrenaline and emotion right now, Marion especially. He's their emotional leader. We've got to clamp down on him and also ride out his hot shooting - he won't shoot like this all game.

Hopefully the Spurs come back in the second half with some focus and grit. The refs may be determined to foul someone out - if I had to place bets I'd say Elson or Oberto may be sacrificed - but they can still win. Just drive hard each and every time.

[davemaniscool]

spurs need to stop feeling the pressure and start playing like GS - loose. Everyone is thinking with Amare out that this game would be a slam dunk when it's having the opposite effect. Spurs are not getting beat by Phx but by the press.

[Manu20]

I'm calling it now Spurs will have 30+ points in the 3rd and 4th!

[Deb]

Halftime!!!! Suns Are Gona Come Out And Push And Push And Not Let Uppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp Your Done !
Get the hell out of our site and go somewhere where they give a shit about your opinion

[violentkitten]

down 11. keep going to the bucket on every possession with screen rolls. sets you up for some easy scores plus the draw and kick for the 3. time for pop to lay down the law.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs just played soft in the first half. They let their guard and intensity down, they've always done this in the playoffs at certain points in time against great teams.

Barkley was going too "deep" about the reason why they just sucked in the first half.

[vsnba]

today Manu playing good , Tim Suck and Where is Tony Parker ?

[boutons_]

Just a mediocre game from the Spurs would have them even at the half.

RBs better, 20 -24

It's the Spurs' 33% shooting and Marion killing us.

[TampaDude]

The problem is that all the pressure is on the Spurs in this game. Everyone expected the Suns to lose without Diaw and Stoudemire, so they have nothing to prove, and are playing loose and easy. The Spurs are playing nervous and tight...they are so worried about losing this game, they are losing this game. Pop better pull something out of his ass for the 2nd half, or the Spurs are gonna get rolled by 25+. BOOK IT!!!!!

[lefty]

QUESTION?????????


IF we lose this game whould you start MANU??? or will you bench him :depressed


YES ; it's a confidence thing

[spurastic]

Spurs had a pity party for the suns but hoepfully that is over and the second half will be Spurs True!!

[christina]

This Win For Are Team Will Be A Huge Finger To David Stern And The Spurs Franchise!

[Gros Membres!]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Spurs drop this game and series due to all the media hype. Not bandwagoning here and I would be disappointed as hell. But from Crawford, to the "dirty" talk, and now the suspensions it just feels like the Spurs have been taken so far out of their identity and have started to listen. It's unfortunate and I did not expect that from this team or organization.

Personally, I look at Manu and see a shell of a player that he was last year or two years ago. Here's a guy who is an Olympic champion and is now relegated to being a jump shooter. It sickens me.

[easjer]

I think we are going to see a total different game in the second half. Shots were not falling down. I think Pop finally found the trick to beat this team tonight.


Except, it was only entirely obvious since the moment the suspension announcement was made.

And it's been the only effective thing against the Suns regardless.

It's not exactly a newsflash, and the fact that they can't seem to figure out how to make it happen before 3 minutes left in the house, down by 16 points is pretty fucking depressing to see as a fan.

[antdelarosa]

Well we know who ever wins this series will face a tough matchup vs Dallas..

Oh yeah, Dallas is at home watching.

Who the fuck loses a 7 game series to an 8 seed.
Dirt No"Will"Ski MVP (I felt better about mvp when PJ Brown got a vote)

[Deb]

Friggin trolls

[dbreiden83080]

today Manu playing good , Tim Suck and Where is Tony Parker ?

Tim played SO SO he has 12pts 5 reb not great but he is competing everyone else can't make a damn shot out there, our D was fine.

[mexispur]

I'm calling it now Spurs will have 30+ points in the 3rd and 4th!

I agree with that after pop chews some ass. I can see why the spurs were not as aggressive when Tim picks up a foul on the suns second possesion of the fuckin game and Tony gets 2 in the first, fuckin bullshit man

[milkyway21]

QUESTION?????????


IF we lose this game whould you start MANU??? or will you bench him :depressed
why do think starting Manu is the only answer to this? he's 1-6 tonight so far.

[Ginofan]

This Win For Are Team Will Be A Huge Finger To David Stern And The Spurs Franchise!

just screen teh Suns to death. Move the ball like crazy to force a quicker team to adjust to your movement.

[Gros Membres!]

Barkley was going too "deep" about the reason why they just sucked in the first half.
I hope you're right, I hope you're right. Tim started playing solid there at the end. A glimmer of hope, at least.

[violentkitten]

This Win For Are Team Will Be A Huge Finger To David Stern And The Spurs Franchise!

feh. can we get some better trolls up in here?

[violentkitten]

:tu

[anonymous coward]

excuses, excuses, excuses...more excuses

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Speaking of Jason Kidd's will, we need Manu's WILL for this game.. what happened to that??

It's game 5...Now's a good time for Manu to explode in the second half.

[DePastino]

The Suns are playing on emotion right now. If they can't sustain and even increase this lead in the third, they're in trouble.

[christina]

Ginofan???? English Wow Looks Like Your Team Can't Read A Chalk Board Withought Two Stars From Phoenix On That Chalk Board

[beirmeistr]

Can you believe this garbage? The Spurs are playing like scared pussies. Duncan is scared, Ginobili is still Ginobili Lite, and I'm afraid that parker has become the ghost of Playoff parker past. Elson is lost, as usual. Barry is afraid to shoot. The Spurs need to find their huevos fast before they become the laughing stock of the NBA, unable to be competitive without Stoudemire and Diaw.

[Deb]

Carma Is A Motha Isnt It Spurs Fans???????
Your motha is vermin

Go Away :elephant

[DePastino]

Speaking of Jason Kidd's will, we need Manu's WILL for this game.. what happened to that??

It's game 5...Now's a good time for Manu to explode in the second half.

I'm expecting him to try to do just that.

[Borosai]

I'm already looking forward to making a special sig if the Spurs lose, which makes me feel a bit better.

Actually, I'm not even upset. I find their performance up to now laughable. Sad really. If they lose tonight, they should just forfeit the series. There is NO excuse to lose.

[itzsoweezee]

suns are playing like shit. if duncan mans up we will win this game.

[sammy]

They'll be fine! Let the Suns have the first half! Spurs take the second half! Please Pop bench Vaughn!

[milkyway21]

the Spurs must play defense in the 3rd. they're only down by 11 pts. we've seen worse...:p:

[Gros Membres!]

just screen teh Suns to death. Move the ball like crazy to force a quicker team to adjust to your movement.
I disagree. No more screens. Most of our screens in the last 5 minutes of the quarter resulted in the ballhandler being cut off around the free throw line. We seemed much more successful when challenging the low post and moving the ball from there.

I like the moving the ball option with more back door, inside, curl stuff.

[xamila rey]

i think we can still win this game ,,
GO SPURS GO!
BeLiEvE~~~~~~~~~~~!

[steppy]

Why isn't Bowen on Marion?

[christina]

Ha Ha Carma U Cheap Shotting Bob Hitters!!!!

[TampaDude]

Spurs are like 0/7 for 3-pointers...the one 3 they did make was erased by Elson...he sucks.

[Spurminator]

Man it is going to be so fucking awesome winning games 6 and 7.

[bigfundamental21]

No time to panic. We will play better in the 2nd half. Time for Timmay to dominate.

BELIEVE.

[dbreiden83080]

Can you believe this garbage? The Spurs are playing like scared pussies. Duncan is scared, Ginobili is still Ginobili Lite, and I'm afraid that parker has become the ghost of Playoff parker past. Elson is lost, as usual. Barry is afraid to shoot. The Spurs need to find their huevos fast before they become the laughing stock of the NBA, unable to be competitive without Stoudemire and Diaw.

Tim played fine he will be alright for the 2nd half but this is what i feared. A fired up Suns team and the Spurs a little intimidated by all the shit that went on with the suspensions. They are suppossed to win this game. The game 4 choke job may have been it for them. They had these guys done and they pissed it away.

[FromWayDowntown]

Ha Ha Carma U Cheap Shotting Bob Hitters!!!!

Leave it to a Suns fan to celebrate at halftime and then not even spell karma correctly.

You act like it's the 4th quarter and the clock reads 0:00 bitch. Game isn't over till it's over.

thomas is getting tired
will he have enough in the 4

Who is Carma? Is she talking about Carmelo?

[milkyway21]

Ginofan???? English Wow Looks Like Your Team Can't Read A Chalk Board Withought Two Stars From Phoenix On That Chalk Board
this new Suns troll is getting into my nerves :pctoss

hey how old are you? 6? :music

[GSH]

Nash 2-6
Barbosa 2-7
Bell 1-7
Thomas 2-6

There's no freaking mystery here. Marion went ape-shit in the first half. Every other starter for the Suns is shooting as bad or worse than the Spurs 33% from the field.

The Spurs were out of rhythm and shot like shit. It's only 11 points, and Manu had a 3 get waved off or it would only be 8. Not exactly panic time folks.

[itzsoweezee]

Ha Ha Carma U Cheap Shotting Bob Hitters!!!!

uh oh, someone let amare on the computer. this is why you shouldn't drop out of school boys and girls.

[Nashfan]

Why isn't Bowen on Marion?
He was a few times

[ducks]

I hope suns think this is already won like their fans

^^^^
it would be fucking awsemone to win tonight~!
Vamos Spurs che!

Yes, but TD needs to attack him

Stop taking Js and attack

[Typhoon]

Where is Emanuel Ginobili, I miss the way he used to play... =(

carma = karma, in Sunsville

[davemaniscool]

And here I thought they were referring to another poster named Carma. :lol

[Gros Membres!]

The Suns are playing on emotion right now. If they can't sustain and even increase this lead in the third, they're in trouble.
It will be interesting to see. The fans seem great and really into it and are helping the team fight the up-hill battle. Plus, Matrix is playing lights-out, Nash is up to his usual distributing, and Jones was a nice surprise. As you say, sustaining the energy with a short bench will be key come late 3rd and early 4th.

[ponky]

I see your uncle stopped raping you long enough for you to type your posts.


:wtf

[easjer]

Well forgive me if I have to leave. SFIE is pretty exhausted and wants to go to bed, and I a)can't sleep if he falls asleep before me and b) will keep him up if I watch the game downstairs.

Hopefully he comes back and watches with me.

Regardless, pull your collective heads out of your asses, realize what worked and keep doing it, get some rebounds and play some fucking D.

Go Spurs GO!

[christina]

BEEN DEALING WITH YOUR CRYING AND WHININGfor 4 games! Your lil plot from pop to set us up isnt working to well is it??? go suns

[Ginofan]

carma = karma, in Sunsville
Gotta love that Phoenix education system! :tu

[antdelarosa]

Never Give Up. I Want To See Tim Tear Shit Up!

[ploto]

It's BS to blame the Spurs poor play on some imagined fear of foul calls. This game has had few foul calls and few free throws.

[slayermin]

Some of these posts are funny as hell.

[TampaDude]

Ha Ha Yeah Losing Game 6 Than U Will Join The Mavericks And Mayby Dirk The Skirt Will Let U Touch His Mvp Trophy He Did Not Deserve!

Spurs - 3 NBA Championships

Suns - 0 NBA Championships

Mavs - 0 NBA Championships

'nuff said...

[Nashfan]

I think this game is far from over. Suns are going to be hard pressed to keep up this intensity. It's anyone's game still.

[Deb]

carma = karma, in Sunsville
carma also = STUPID fifth graders in Sunsville

this fucker should be banned

[anonymous coward]

sorry spurs fans but, anonymous coward' ass is 100% sure that it is a sun win so, prepare your handkerchiefes

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Why isn't Bowen on Marion?
Yeah, obviously he's filling in a larger role with Marion out. Hope Pop makes the adjustment.

Manu does a good job on Nash because of his length. His block on Steve Nash's fadeaway was pretty good defense.

I'd say they switch Manu and Parker on Nash, and play more bowen on Marion.

[easjer]

I fucking hate trolls.

Particularly those who try to be annoying by refusing to spell correctly.

[TampaDude]

this fucker should be banned

suck my cock

[texlawman]

I'm enjoying watching San Antonio becoming the latest Texas team to choke this year. Makes me feel better.

[UV Ray]

I'm still pessimistic about the Suns chances, but it looks a hell of a lot better than it did 2 hours ago.

[christina]

Ha Ha Spur Fans A Lil Uptight Right Now??? Come On Relax! Oh Wait Your Whole Team Did That Since Yesturday When They Chalked Up A Win After Hearing Staudy And Boris Were Out! Got Ya

[dbreiden83080]

Me too. :cry

I think he may be gone if we lose this series the days of looking to Manu as a major piece to a title puzzle may be a thing of the past.

[weebo]

How about we hit some shots?

[ploto]

It will be interesting to see. The fans seem great and really into it and are helping the team fight the up-hill battle. Plus, Matrix is playing lights-out, Nash is up to his usual distributing, and Jones was a nice surprise. As you say, sustaining the energy with a short bench will be key come late 3rd and early 4th.
But many Suns are used to playing big minutes- except Thomas. On the other hand, Spurs players called on to play big minutes in the playoffs are not used to it- like TP playing the whole second half last game.

[FromWayDowntown]

Gotta go to work, boys. Right now.

[jmard5]

What's with this trend capitalizing every first letter of every word?

[easjer]

Oh, yes, that reminds me.

I also hate Steve Kerr.

[Ginofan]

Alright guys, you can't play any worse. Time to turn it on.

[antdelarosa]

Could TNT and the national media be any more up the suns nuts.
It's like their swinging from nutsack to nutsack of each suns player.
FUCK!

[Gros Membres!]

I'm enjoying watching San Antonio becoming the latest Texas team to choke this year. Makes me feel better.
:madrun :smokin

Now I feel better.

[ponky]

thomas is getting tired
will he have enough in the 4

no he's not. he played 34 min in the win against the spurs in phoenix earlier this season when amare and barbosa didn't play. he'll be fine, he doesn't move around so much and looks can be deceiving. i thought the suns would wear out over the course of the playoffs but i was wrong, they look fine, impressive really

[TampaDude]

Ha Ha Spur Fans A Lil Uptight Right Now??? Come On Relax! Oh Wait Your Whole Team Did That Since Yesturday When They Chalked Up A Win After Hearing Staudy And Boris Were Out! Got Ya

Actually, I knew this was going to happen. The Spurs just don't seem to care about winning anymore...they're not hungry...this is the Suns' year, apparently.

[Despot]

It's BS to blame the Spurs poor play on some imagined fear of foul calls. This game has had few foul calls and few free throws.

Yeah, we are losing cause we traded Rasho.

[ATXSPUR]

What's with this trend capitalizing every first letter of every word?

if you write in all caps too long it will do that.

[milkyway21]

the Phoenix Suns enter halftime with an 11 point lead. Not only that, but they hold San Antonio to their lowest first half total of the entire season, the Spurs only managed 33 points in the last 24 minutes. That must change in the second half

:flag:

[christina]

Come On Pat Burke Give Tim The Queer Duncan A Irish Carb Bomb Elbow Right In His Ear!

[FromWayDowntown]

There are some things to be somewhat positive about. The Spurs shooting percentage should improve. Their 3-point shooting percentage should improve. They should find more assists. If they do all of those things and continue to close the rebounding gap, things can get much better.

[Ginofan]

Nice move starting Manu Pop! :tu

[FromWayDowntown]

Timmy.

[ponky]

this fucker should be banned

for a couple of times today, i agree with you...along with the morons talking *education* smack, should be banned for talking such weak smack

[ambchang]

Good shot, but move the damn ball!

[dtrain]

Well, with the exception of the call on Manu's 3, the refs aren't going crazy. Maybe the Spurs will figure that out and stop playing scared of a whistle.

[dallasmavsnfuego214]

Actually, I knew this was going to happen. The Spurs just don't seem to care about winning anymore...they're not hungry...this is the Suns' year, apparently.

:rolleyes oooooook

and if the Spurs happen to win you'll be right back on board

[spursrocksocks]

its spurs game now, suck it suns

[Deuce]

Come On Pat Burke Give Tim The Queer Duncan A Irish Carb Bomb Elbow Right In His Ear!

manu starts

Nice move starting Manu Pop! :tu

[hitmanyr2k]

It won't amount to much if he's going to stand around the 3 point line and watch Duncan and Parker shoot.

No more jump shots please!

I'm glad Tony's jumper has disapeared

Hey when you can barely comprehend what a troll is trying to say, you have to say something.:lol

[easjer]

Move Bowen OFF NASH already.

NO MORE JUMP SHOTS

[Gros Membres!]

Okay, play 1 of the half we go inside and it works. Play 2 Gino gets scared looking for a play and we end up with a 25 foot jumper. I do not get it. I cannot understand if these are blown plays are called plays. I am beside myself.

[antdelarosa]

Did anyone even touch nash?
I am so fucking tired of guards throwing their bodies into players.

FUCK SMALL BALL

[lefty]

It won't amount to much if he's going to stand around the 3 point line and watch Duncan and Parker shoot.

True

[FromWayDowntown]

Tim good aggression coming out of the half.

[ducks]

need to drive

[weebo]

Keep attacking the basket

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Tony and Manu needs to be going to the line more. Not duncan

[christina]

Nice Shot Duncan

[Trifecta]

Why is Bowen still on Nash -- its only a matter of time before Marion abuses Parker on an alley oop!

TP better take it to the hole and quit with the jumpers!

[TampaDude]

:rolleyes oooooook

and if the Spurs happen to win you'll be right back on board

I don't think the Spurs are gonna win this...they're playing like shit...I hope I'm wrong.

[easjer]

Tim needs to make his FTs.

[ducks]

keep it up tim

[FromWayDowntown]

Move Bowen OFF NASH already.

NO MORE JUMP SHOTS

I think the problem with moving Bowen off Nash is that either Barbosa or Nash will be in a major mismatch. I'd rather let Marion get his and take our chances, I think.

[Ginofan]

Loved that play Timmy!

[DuncanInYourFace]

Nice Cut Gino

[Gros Membres!]

Hallelujah!!!!!

[ponky]

Hey when you can barely comprehend what a troll is trying to say, you have to say something.:lol

like i said, it's all on duncan. if he hadn't been playing like shit in the first half, the spurs would be on top right now.

Whew! I was scared shitless before this run, this is what I was used to seeing.

[ducks]

yes

[TampaDude]

Wow...who turned the switch? Suddenly the Spurs are playing like....well...the Spurs!

[easjer]

FWD - I didn't mean the entire game, just long enough to throw him off. Put Parker on the hot guy (he can guard either).

But for now - let's keep doing what we're doing. It seems to be working.

Keep the defense going.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I LOVE TIM!!! has to said! TIM IS THE FUCKING MAN!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol what was Timmy saying to whoever on the camera the ref?

[GSH]

Oops....4 point game. WTF happened to that big lead? And all the mouthy Suns fans? And all the whiny, give-up Spurs fans?

Pretty soon we're gonna start hearing about the unfair suspensions again, and listening to all the "what-ifs".

[JoeChalupa]

Yup. I wasn't worried.

[FromWayDowntown]

Rebounds evening out. Tim compelling the Suns to bring the double.

Spurs have to keep defending and now must make some jumpers or attack the rim out of the double -- I'd prefer the latter, but either will work.

[Admidave50]

Believe!

[atxrocker]

come on suns

[boutons_]

4 pt game, Spurs 9 -2 in 3rd qtr.

FUCK YEAH BIG TIM DUNCAN!! :spin :spin

How 'bout that Pop!!!

[dbreiden83080]

like i said, it's all on duncan. if he hadn't been playing like shit in the first half, the spurs would be on top right now.

What name one player that did anything out there he is the only one everyone else sucks right now.

[easjer]

Oh, shit.

I just figured it out.

SFIE was out the room. He's been out of the room or dozing off when they've won.

:lol

He's staying upstairs now.

I told you we would see a different type of game in the second half.. .classic spurs.

[davemaniscool]

as I was saying earlier the adrenalin, "we have a chip on our shoulder" emotion is going to wear off. The Spurs just needed to get their bearings.

[ballhog]

Makes sense......2 big guys out....drive, post-up then shoot 3's.

[nkdlunch]

I know what Pop told them. "Stop playing like bitches. don't be scared, if you foul out you foul out. Go all out"

[JoeChalupa]

I see the bandwagon is getting full again.

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

fuck Small Ball


AMEN

[slayermin]

:lol what was Timmy saying to whoever on the camera the ref?

I think he said my bad to the ref because he touched the ball after he scored it.

[Spurminator]

ZOMG wE'RE GUD AGIN!!!

[antdelarosa]

Fuck Small Ball
Tim Needs To Demand The Ball And Ram In Down The Throats Of Those Fuckers

[lefty]

Where are the Phoenix trolls ???

[FromWayDowntown]

FWD - I didn't mean the entire game, just long enough to throw him off. Put Parker on the hot guy (he can guard either).

But for now - let's keep doing what we're doing. It seems to be working.

Keep the defense going.

I understand your frustration, easjer.

I just think that if you take Bowen off of Nash to account for Marion, you buy yourself more trouble than you save, because you give Nash (or Barbosa) a chance to go off, which is not a good thing for the Spurs.

[JoeChalupa]

I love this game!!

[MannyIsGod]

Methodical.

[ducks]

thomas is tired keep going to duncan

[Leetonidas]

fuck Small Ball
WTF? Small ball is perfect versus the Suns.

[TampaDude]

Spurs need to hit a couple of big 3s now...

[Scotti]

Well, we couldn't surrender the whole game to them, just because they've been somewhat inconvenienced, with the loss of their key players. Surrendering a quarter is the least we could do, to compensate. Now's the time to play Spurs basketball!

[easjer]

OK, I want them to keep it close now. That's it.

[Ginofan]

pounding inside and attacking the rim...pop finally gets it. i'm happy now
It's like all of a sudden he heard our collective screams for attacking the rim! :lol

[Admidave50]

Where are the Phoenix trolls ???

yeah, where are you Bitches??

[milkyway21]

fuck Steve Kerr!

once Manu & Finley starts to shoot 3s you're done. Just pray Barbosa won't add another foul to his 3.

[christina]

Go Sunssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[FromWayDowntown]

Here comes the double.

[christina]

Thomas Tired Not

[ballhog]

Let Thomas shoot. Can't make 'em all.

[christina]

Brick Parker

[FromWayDowntown]

Terrible decision by Parker

[Trifecta]

Tim's offense will open up the outside later!!!

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Damnit Tony... Nash guarding you and you bail him out

[hitmanyr2k]

Parker has to drive when one on one with Steve Nash...none of that jumpshot shit.

[Gerryatrics]

Great, Thomas is getting hot. The Spurs need to prove they can punish the Suns from the outside when they double Duncan.

[Trifecta]

C'mon Spurs need some stops!!!!!

[Tha Carter]

Fuck Make Ur Shots Finley!!!

[FromWayDowntown]

Excellent by Manu.

[weebo]
