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

[Cry Havoc]

Nice simile.

The only fault is that ants know how to defend their colony. :lol

[Spurminator]

The Spurs aren't attacking the rim because they're afraid of stepping or tripping on a Sun sliding across the floor.

[FromWayDowntown]

Instead, we get Parker from 23'

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Hit some shots and they'll quit doubling TD. Time to do it now. Jeez.
Exactly.

Make some shots and we can take it.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck You Tp

[dtrain]

I still feel good about this. The Spurs are getting good looks on the 3, just need to get hot. Barbosa has 5. Tim needs to continue to drive it when there is an opportunity. I still don't think the Suns will lose much energy, at least not Nash.

The worst thing about it, is that I knew this would be a tough game for the Spurs to pull out even without Amare playing, but even if the Spurs win it, they will be able to claim they never expected to win anyway.

[resistanze]

Nice rebounding Barry

[lefty]

Barry IDIOT

[christina]

Bell In Your Freaking Faces

[MannyIsGod]

Case in point, Pluto. What do you do about that?

[FromWayDowntown]

Catch the damned rebound.

[Tha Carter]

Barry ura fucking idiot,tipping ball out to opponent when u coulda grabbed it...FUCK U

[Amarelooms]

no were just happy we are still in the playoffs and have actually won a championship, 2 things you cannot say

haha losing this game would be a bigger choke than the Mavs ever had. :elephant

[lefty]

Wow Barry SOB

[VaSpursFan]

barry out now please

[ATXSPUR]

you have got to be kidding me

[JasonsGirl]

Mike D'antoni really pisses me off

[Tha Carter]

Barry Ur A Dumbass
Fuck U
Fuckkkkk U

[FromWayDowntown]

Spurs look completely lost.

[resistanze]

They don't even look like a playoff team, geez.

[hitmanyr2k]

The Suns are daring Parker to shoot the jumpshot and he's obliging.

[christina]

3 Seconds Ha Ha Karma Karma Karma Whos Laughing Now

[naico]

2nd chance pints in the fourth..unbelievable

[boutons_]

wow, Spurs sucking

[easjer]

I'm sorry, they've come out with their heads elsewhere.

Fuck em.

This game is over unless something really big happens soon.

Unbelievable.

[ATXSPUR]

haha losing this game would be a bigger choke than the Mavs ever had. :elephant

lol @ mav troll trying to save face.

[MannyIsGod]

When the Spurs move them, lanes open.You can't move them if they dno't come out to defend. They're giving up open 3s. That means they're staying inside.

[FromWayDowntown]

And completely uninspired.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

fuck this team, we deserve to lose this series

[ballhog]

Barry sucks.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Parker going back into his playoff shell

[Admidave50]

thx barry for this bitch rebound

[Leetonidas]

Jesus Christ, the Spurs deserve to lose. They open this quarter pathetically.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP pathetic today

[milkyway21]

whoa 9pt suns lead again

[lefty]

3 Seconds Ha Ha Karma Karma Karma Whos Laughing Now

Shouldn't you be watching the OC ?

[JasonsGirl]

10:24 is ALOT OF TIME. Anything can happen.....

[Trifecta]

This is like a championship fight and the Spurs show up in the last 10 seconds before the round ends!

[boutons_]

goes from -5 to -11, fuck

[Phil Hellmuth]

this is a disgrace.

[noles1983]

sigh...what a disgraceful performance for the city of san antonio

[FromWayDowntown]

You can't move them if they dno't come out to defend. They're giving up open 3s. That means they're staying inside.

The Spurs did move them at times in the 3rd. I understand your point, but I think the Spurs can find opportunities if they play the game aggressively. I don't think they've done that at all.

[TampaDude]

haha losing this game would be a bigger choke than the Mavs ever had. :elephant

Uh...nope...not even close.

[Leetonidas]

Barry's horrible attempt at a rebound completely shifted momentum. What a fucking asshole.

[MannyIsGod]

5 suns in the lane on defense on that last possesion.

FIVE.

The entire team.

HOW DO YOU DRIVE ON THAT?

[GSH]

haha losing this game would be a bigger choke than the Mavs ever had. :elephant

I hate to take a time out to respond to that, but NOTHING would be a bigger collapse than what the Mavs had in the first freaking round.

[milkyway21]

Raja Bell another foul :D

[hitmanyr2k]

Ginobili and Parker are going to have to play the entire 4th and attack. Fuck rest tonight. The series is on the line here.

[FromWayDowntown]

35%, though, Manny. Ugh.

[christina]

By By Dunc The Trunk

[MannyIsGod]

This is going to be difficult to watch

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Score Spurs Come ON

[TampaDude]

TD out...time for the Suns to put this one away.

[Cry Havoc]

WTF is Duncan sitting for!?

[Borosai]

The Spurs have been warped back to January...yay.

[JasonsGirl]

Finley needs to bust out them threes!

[noles1983]

last time i checked, the suns with 2 players out is still better than th warriors!!!!

[Gros Membres!]

This game is looking more and more over. We got it down to 4 there and just couldn't punch through. Not enough fight in us tonight, I'm afraid. Hopefully we can get up for an elimination game.

[TampaDude]

Manuuuuu!!!

[milkyway21]

thanks for that nice fadeaway jump shot mike

[JasonsGirl]

MANU!! cmon baby get it goin!

[Cry Havoc]

OH MY!!!!

What a huge turn!!!!

4 point game!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

That was big!

[atxrocker]

Fuck

[Phil Hellmuth]

Ginobilllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiii

[Leetonidas]

Manu's confidence is soaring. Way to pick it up guys.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu n3333333333333333333333333333333

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Yes Manuuu!!

[VaSpursFan]

oberto really is a heady, cerebal player...

[lefty]

BAD decision by Manu

But it's in

[Scotti]

Come On!!!!

[FromWayDowntown]

Manu taking over for a bit. Good defensive effort before that by Oberto.

[yeahone]

Manuuuuuuuuuu
please guys lets wein this one pleaseeeeeeeeeee

[Trifecta]

Bout freakin time!!!!

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

I was thinking.

Ya better hit that Manu!!


Yes

Thank You

[GSH]

5 suns in the lane on defense on that last possesion.

FIVE.

The entire team.

HOW DO YOU DRIVE ON THAT?

You don't. Take a few possessions to just watch the paint when the Suns are on defense. That's been the strategy, and the Spurs have obliged by missing wide-open, totally uncontested 3-pointers.

[christina]

Bald Headed Chachokley Finally Hit One! Wow Karma Will Prevail

[Tha Carter]

Get Barry Outta The Fucking Game,hes A Dumbass Veteran...fuck Ya Lets Go Manu

[Gros Membres!]

Ignore my last comment.

[nkdlunch]

Oberto is playing awesome!!!!

[boutons_]

just hit a few shots, we'll be ok.

we really need tony and manu to find their balls.

[dbreiden83080]

Come on LETS GO already!!

[MannyIsGod]

35%, though, Manny. Ugh.Its that simple FWD. If you don't make the shots that are wide open, you lose. They take everything else away by packing the lane thats why you have to hit a few to open things up.

If 2 or 3 of those shots fall, it becomes a different game.

Don't believe me?

What just happend?

[CubanMustGo]

Hmm ... with Suns entire focus on TD, with him out they are suddenly a bit confused on D.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I liked that 3 by Manu because there was no hesitation at ALL in that 3. he wanted the the three and got it.

[ducks]

lets go

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan came off and the Suns went, "Ok, who the fuck do we double now!?"
...

!!!! DOUBLE OBERTO! He's TALL!

[dtrain]

Our 3s get hot and it is over. Come on MANu!!!!!

[ATXSPUR]

Im desperate....you guys think an elimination game will assist us in getting our heads out of you know where?

[Admidave50]

YEEEEEEEEES! Is Manu back???

[TampaDude]

This game is looking more and more over. We got it down to 4 there and just couldn't punch through. Not enough fight in us tonight, I'm afraid. Hopefully we can get up for an elimination game.

4-point game again...I'm afraid this is as close as they get...I smell a big Nash 3-bomb coming next...BOOK IT!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Put TD back now

[Phil Hellmuth]

Manu Is About To Save Us Ladies And Gentlemen!!

[milkyway21]

Fuck
it nice of you making an appearance here but shld you be studying the list of next draft list instead?

[JasonsGirl]

I wonder what Oberto would look like with short hair....

[CubanMustGo]

Our 3s get hot and it is over. Come on MANu!!!!!

Screw hot, I'll settle for lukewarm at this point.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Doesnt matter. Suns still in control. Too little too late! Unless the Suns just stop playing they wont lose this game.

[timmydidit]

Duncan came off and the Suns went, "Ok, who the fuck do we double now!?"
...

!!!! DOUBLE OBERTO! He's TALL!

lmaoo

[lefty]

Bald Headed Chachokley Finally Hit One! Wow Karma Will Prevail

You are missing the OC

[Gros Membres!]

Keep Duncan on the bench for another minute, probably two. Let's roll with this lineup and see what we can shake up.

[ducks]

spur are making spur fans find their balls

[MannyIsGod]

Put TD back nowYah. Please don't sit him.

[noles1983]

just hit a few shots, we'll be ok.

we really need tony and manu to find their balls.

hahaha

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bell is on the Bench. Kurt Thomas. Tim and Manu should be allowed to run wild.

[timmydidit]

Screw hot, I'll settle for lukewarm at this point.


you can say that again

[JasonsGirl]

Doesnt matter. Suns still in control. Too little too late! Unless the Suns just stop playing they wont lose this game.


Im pretty new....but I stil don't understand why you're in a Spurs forum? Don't the magnificant SUNS have one for their God Steve Nash?

[FromWayDowntown]

Its that simple FWD. If you don't make the shots that are wide open, you lose. They take everything else away by packing the lane thats why you have to hit a few to open things up.

If 2 or 3 of those shots fall, it becomes a different game.

Don't believe me?

What just happend?

I follow you, my friend. I just think that the way to get the Suns out of the lane isn't to passively shoot 3's and hope that something falls. I think you can still move them, even if they decide they're going to pack the lane.

The lack of aggression is most troubling to me.

[naico]

Pick And Roll Plz

[boutons_]

we aren't hitting jumpers, have to drive hard.

[TampaDude]

TD only has 2 fouls on him...Pop should put him back in soon.

[davemaniscool]

haha losing this game would be a bigger choke than the Mavs ever had. :elephant

keep repeating that to yourself and you might actually believe it.

Dirk is drinking from the choke chalice. :hat

[Gros Membres!]

Wow. Tony #2 in points scored before turning 25 in the playoffs. Nice stat.

[MannyIsGod]

Wow. What a bailout call.

[FromWayDowntown]

Cheapie on Oberto.

[itzsoweezee]

bailout call

[Spurs Brazil]

Late call

[christina]

I Told U The Refs Are Making U Pay For This Game! Karma

[Spurminator]

l. o. l.

[hitmanyr2k]

:lol Oberto vs. all-star Marion. Shocked they bailed out Marion?

[CubanMustGo]

Bullshit call - here they come

[MannyIsGod]

FWD - I agree they should penetrate more in order to get some better ball movement going, but at the same time I cna't fault them for shooting shots that are there and wide open.

[ATXSPUR]

Screw hot, I'll settle for lukewarm at this point.

That pretty much sums up this whole game for Spurs fans

[JasonsGirl]

Bruce Sweet!!!!!

[yeahone]

bowennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[FromWayDowntown]

Bruuuuuuuuuce.

[Tha Carter]

Fuck Ya Bowen Fuck Finally!!

[Gros Membres!]

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!bowen

[TampaDude]

I Told U The Refs Are Making U Pay For This Game! Karma

There's no such thing as karma...just good play and poor play.

[MannyIsGod]

The Spurs hit a few jumpers and its a 3 point game.

[hitmanyr2k]

Ooooh Oberto got lucky lol. Could have been a moving screen.

[CubanMustGo]

Bruuuuuuuuuuce!

[yeahone]

[FromWayDowntown]

Close down this rebounding margin.

[dtrain]

YEEEEEESSSSS! MANUUUUUU!

We are still digging out of the hole we made in the 1st. We have been even or up each quarter since.

[CubanMustGo]

Take it at Barby and foul his ass OUT!

[ducks]

[iflyabeech]

damn parker....finley was wide open for a 3

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Fuckin Tony... use your left hand

[JasonsGirl]

Nash, that is what you get for trying to show off

[FromWayDowntown]

Nice closeout and recovery by Bowen.

[Spurminator]

Marion flopped when Jones ran into him. Funny.

[yeahone]

lets go spus this is it babe

[Leetonidas]

Spurs playing good with Duncan out.

[christina]

What A Game But Karma Will Prevail

[Scotti]

Come on~ we can do this~

[timmydidit]

yaaaaa

[Amuseddaysleeper]

would the suns PLEASE STOP CRYING!?!?

my god, jesus christ

[Warlord23]

Parker goes 1 on 4 when we finally start making our outside shots. Good timeout.

[boutons_]

tony, hit your layups

[Thomas]

come on Spurs ! I stayed awake the whole night to watch you guys come on!

[lefty]

Bowen is so crafty

[dbreiden83080]

Duncan is coming back in same formula we hit open shots and we can win the game that simple.

[FromWayDowntown]

Spurs up to 38.5%.

sigh.

[nkdlunch]

Manu is in the building!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I'm gonna get a heart attack

[Gros Membres!]

Nice TO. Let's set something up good here. Tony, keep passing to Manu. Let's keep him involved.

[MannyIsGod]

Fuckin Tony... use your left handDoesn't it piss you off when pros don't use their offhand in such a fundemental way? Jesus.

[TampaDude]

This one's going down to the wire, folks...I won't be the least bit surprised if it goes into OT.

[GSH]

Haha...Nash never wanted that shot. He was looking for a whistle all the way. Whiny bitch when he didn't get one, too.

[hitmanyr2k]

Nash, that is what you get for trying to show off

He's not showing off on that shot really. That's a patented Steve Nash shot. Does it every game.

[ballhog]

Nash looking for foul. No chance on that.

[Admidave50]

it's gettin' crazy!

GO SPURS GO

[fred33]

parker has all the defense on him

[Scotti]

If Suns wins, you folks deserve it for working hard. It's got nothing to with Karma. I'm believing Spurs will pull it off though.

[Tha Carter]

fuck this is what im talking about spurs,lets get this win..FUCK U SUNS

[timmydidit]

ill even settle for cool

[CubanMustGo]

Spurs down to ONE timeout according to sportsline.com ...

[Cry Havoc]

I have a name for that shot Nash just tried.



The teardrop assfart.

[gaKNOW!blee]

What A Game But Karma Will Prevail



that karma thing is bullshit and you know it. THE SPURS ARE NOT THE ONES WHO PUSHED AMARE AND BORIS OUT ON THE FLOOR. they did it themselves dumbass.

[ducks]

Believe

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Suns will respond! They are just having to earn this win and they will.

[Warlord23]

I wouldn't mind it if they went 4-down now. Our outside shot seems to be falling. Let them pick their poison. I'm more interested in whether we can defend Nash with any level of consistency in crunch time today

[hitmanyr2k]

If Popovich takes out Ginobili for a rest here he deserves to be shot.

[dbreiden83080]

This is it we need the lead and NOW come on guys the open shots will be there.

[ducks]

believe

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu needs to be ruthless tonight!

[noles1983]

Haha...Nash never wanted that shot. He was looking for a whistle all the way. Whiny bitch when he didn't get one, too.

kerr thought it was a foul, imagine that! lmfao

[christina]

Suns Will Come Out And Open Up An 8 Point Lead U Watch!!!!!!!!

[christina]

Nash 3 In Your Face

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Pop... Tony is young, I promise you he can play heavy minutes

[MannyIsGod]

You can only go to that well so many times. Manu can't expect that shot to win the game for him.

[TampaDude]

It ain't over yet...

[Tha Carter]

see,fuck u vaughn,FUCK THIS SHORT MFER

[lefty]

Manu stupid decision FUCK

[Gros Membres!]

Of course.

[GSH]

Time for Bowen to give Nash a Three Stooges "Hey Moe" eye poke. We need some controversy in this game.

[Spurs Brazil]

2 terrible shots

[FromWayDowntown]

Parker at the next dead ball.

[JasonsGirl]

Bull shit bull shit

[naico]

Fuck

[Leetonidas]

Fucking bullshit call.

[Warlord23]

Piss poor execution. We deserve to lose this. Better now than getting bitch-slapped by the Jazz or the Pistons

[milkyway21]

can we just limit Vaughn to dribbling and passing? No to taking shots please ! :oops

[dg7md]

Way to go, Pop. This game is over now that Vaughn is in.

[VaSpursFan]

wtf is manu doing????

[Mojazz]

i cant believe this...
