Round 2 Game 6: Spurs vs. Suns Official Game Blog

[jmard5]

What happened to Elson's leg?

[spursrocksocks]

yes elson is gone

[violentkitten]

i never thought i would type this. sac it up elson.

[jmard5]

Hamstring?

[Horry For 3!]

Kick to the groin, ouchy

[milkyway21]

the Spurs look good from the offensive rbds, to FG% in the 2nd Q-50% while holding down Suns to 47% and by limiting their fouls.

they just have to start making their 3s to get ahead, IMO


i don't know but i can see the "light" :lol

[peskypesky]

Dirty Suns!!

[Darkwaters]

Did he just get the wind knocked out of him?

[violentkitten]

shit. bonner time.

[Admidave50]

At least Elson drew a foul on Nash haha

Maybe he'll get fired up ala Manu's blackeye!

"DIRTY DIRTY!" haha

Bowen putting Nash on lockdown

[L.I.T]

They made a nice adjustment on Parker.

[peskypesky]

Fucking Suns won't go away!!

[Horry For 3!]

Kurt Thomas likes to slap.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

we should have started Manu, our offense is stagnating.

[jmard5]

Foul on Kurt. He's got 3.

[TampaDude]

#3 on KT

[Horry For 3!]

Timmy can't make shit at the ft line

[easjer]

They have got to score. This is no good. They are not moving the ball enough or effectively and are getting bit predictable.

And Tim needs to hit his foul shots.

[L.I.T]

I love it. Duncan is turning Thomas' defensive tactics against him.

[CubanMustGo]

3 on Thomas. Go for four. Then five.

[dtrain]

Come on Timmy! We gotta get those free throws!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Nash is a bruiser. He's abusing our centers.

[Capt Bringdown]

F'n FTs!!!

[violentkitten]

there you go timmy.

[peskypesky]

I need a Bonner 3. Or some cowbell.

[Darkwaters]

At least Elson drew a foul on Nash haha

Maybe he'll get fired up ala Manu's blackeye!

"DIRTY DIRTY!" haha

Nash is never in foul trouble. Hes a superstar and he never plays defense.

[CubanMustGo]

Tim takes too damned much time at the line during the game. Watch him in warmups - steps to the line, dribble, shoot, swish.

[violentkitten]

oh shit. the bank is open.

[spursrocksocks]

TD biatch

[violentkitten]

24 sec violation. come on motherfuckers. fucking home clock.

[dtrain]

Another block by Timmy!!!!! WOOOOT!

[Darkwaters]

Duncan is going to reset that playoff blocks record

[CubanMustGo]

EIGHT blocks for TD

[Admidave50]

OMG, Nash getting a rebound! that's fucking pathetic

[jmard5]

If TD starts kicking out some passes, Spurs shooters gotta sink them down. They are starting to double him.

[Spurs Brazil]

We can

[Spurs Brazil]

We can't get a reb

[Horry For 3!]

Fuckin Bevetta needs glasses

[peskypesky]

Grab A Fucking Rebound For The Love Of God!!!!!

[milkyway21]

shi*! i think Amare's going to f%@K my vBookie tonight-19 pts already? :lmao

[violentkitten]

too many 2nd chances

[easjer]

Rebound Goddamnit

[Darkwaters]

Good foul by Elson

[CubanMustGo]

Crap get a rebound !!!

[freedom&justice]

block #8 for Timmy. unbelievable.

[yeahone]

wow timmy a monster on the block

[Admidave50]

good foul by Elson, can't let Amare to get easy dunks

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

we need Manu and Oberto for rebounds , Elson can't rebound at all.

[jmard5]

Manu in. Hope he has not cooled down.

[Darkwaters]

Is the vBookie for Stoudemire to score 24? Or was it lower?

[Horry For 3!]

How is that a foul on Bowen when Nash is pushin off????

[L.I.T]

Push-off!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

nash push off

[Spurologist]

:lol

Nash was pushing off and Bowen got the call

[Darkwaters]

That was not a foul on Bowen. Bullshit

[violentkitten]

t his ass up.

[milkyway21]

block #8 for Timmy. unbelievable.

going for a triple-double people.

BTW, just 2 pts, but i like Elson's play tonight.

[L.I.T]

What's it gonna take for the refs to call a T on the suns?

[CubanMustGo]

I am so FUCKING TIRED of this Nash shit already.

[violentkitten]

now the refs are calling ticky tack fouls

[SpursFan0728]

nash whines so much now
wtf is wrong with him

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck Elson!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

elson doesn't know how to move without the ball!

[Horry For 3!]

Elson is gettin on my nerves.

[easjer]

I'm really unhappy with their O.

I don't want Timmy taking every shot. It's getting obvious.

Fuck it. Take Francisco out.

[Budkin]

Fucking bullshit fouls.

[ATXSPUR]

never in my life have I seen a bigger fucking moron than elson

[violentkitten]

rofl. t nash up the fucker is whining about everything.

[CubanMustGo]

Would Bonner be any worse??

[L.I.T]

Ok, that is a T.

[TampaDude]

Man...SOOOOO many wasted opportunities for the Spurs...

[resistanze]

Damn Nash is whining it up.

[jmard5]

I'm done with Elson! The Spurs are playing with 4 against the Suns with 6!

[Budkin]

Elson just sucks.

[Pistons < Spurs]

where the fuck is the T.....

[peskypesky]

Spurs falling apart.

[Tha Carter]

STFU Jon Barry

[easjer]

This is not going well right now.

[Capt Bringdown]

This is not looking good.

[Sense]

This fuckin officiating is crazy.

[CubanMustGo]

where the fuck is the T.....

No, it's only the Spurs who whine on the court. The Suns are simply expressing themselves politely.

[freedom&justice]

Bavetta should just T him up and get it over with. Salvatore or either of the Crawfords probably would've by now.

[milkyway21]

sh$@ Amare, stop shooting the ball already:greedy

:lmao

[Darkwaters]

going for a triple-double people.

BTW, just 2 pts, but i like Elson's play tonight.

You like all those dropped rebounds? Suns fan in disguise?

[resistanze]

Man...SOOOOO many wasted opportunities for the Spurs...

[Capt Bringdown]

OMG, this is just like game 4

[easjer]

They need to slow it down and make it happen. Try a play. Be aggressive. Where has that gone?

Ok, there you go.

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[violentkitten]

rofl. super marion.

[CubanMustGo]

Manu!!!

[violentkitten]

foul on thomas?

[Cherry]

Manuuuuuu thanks!

[TampaDude]

#4 on KT!

[Horry For 3!]

Kurt Thomas is a lil bitch

[Pistons < Spurs]

4 on KT

[peskypesky]

Ginobili looks like he's getting ready to go off. I hope he does.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck you Thomas

[jmard5]

Hard foul from Thomas. He's got his 4th. TD should get his 5th.

[Admidave50]

good job tony!

[CubanMustGo]

Have a SEAT KT

[yeahone]

suns trying to play physical

[Capt Bringdown]

Jesus, can anyone other than the big 3 score tonite?

[resistanze]

Hard foul? That was nothing.

[Admidave50]

KT is a bitch, trying to silence the crowd

[milkyway21]

no killer instint for the spurs tonight .

they still want to go back to Phoenix and face their fans?

unbelievable.

:flag:

opps sorry. TP made one.

[yeahone]

parkerrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[violentkitten]

tp came to play.

[CubanMustGo]

4 fouls on SA ... 2 on Pho.

[resistanze]

Parker KILLIN IT!

[TampaDude]

Tony!!!

[SpursFanFirst]

What An Awesome Move By Tony!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

JVG is hilarious in an understated way.

We need to nut the fuck up.

TP!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

TP has been amazing tonight...simply amazing

[L.I.T]

Holy God Parker.

Nice come back by Amare.

[Horry For 3!]

Timmy is bailin out the Spurs on offensive rebounds from missed fts

[violentkitten]

raja bell says let me flop

[Cherry]

WOW Tony :elephant

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Tp

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Parker was a blur on that play!

[peskypesky]

This trading baskets is NOT SPurs basketball. :(

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I see OT in our future...

[jmard5]

Suns getting small. Spurs stay big. They "should" get those rebounds now.

[Budkin]

Our defense is fucking horrendous.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

He totally turned on the jets. It was all in one motion.

[Sense]

Bell is the Suns' Defensive coach.

[Slydragon]

Stop trading baskets and play some damn D

[peskypesky]

What the fuck is wrong with our D tonight?

[L.I.T]

I'm actually enjoyed JVG. He's made some pretty spot on comments through-out the game.

[easjer]

Come on Spurs. Ugh, I don't think that was the right time to call the timeout. We'd gained a little momentum.

But if they come out with an actual plan that they execute instead of standing around looking a little desparate and lost, that'd be ok.

[peskypesky]

I see OT in our future...

I fear you're right.

[Budkin]

When the fuck are we going to get a stop?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I'm actually enjoyed JVG. He's made some pretty spot on comments through-out the game.
Is he a better commentator than a coach?

[Spurologist]

Good Timeout by pop. Gotta start making some defensive stops to widen the gap.

[atxrocker]

what a game

[milkyway21]

Finley pleaseeee!

[easjer]

D sucks.

Get it back, and fast.

Also, JVG is a really good commentator.

[Budkin]

If we just played Spurs D in this game we'd be up 10 at least.

[jmard5]

Come on Spurs. Ugh, I don't think that was the right time to call the timeout. We'd gained a little momentum.

But if they come out with an actual plan that they execute instead of standing around looking a little desparate and lost, that'd be ok.

Too much basket trading.

[ForeignFan]

make a stop !

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Steve Nash is unraveling. and getting pissed off. He's getting hte Kobe treatment, by not even getting a TECHNICAL :pctoss

[ShoogarBear]

How come when Duncan does it, it's whining, and when Nash does it, it's showing grit and leadership?

[dtrain]

Still only 4 points from the rest of the team! We need someone to got hot and at least knock in a few 3s.

[Horry For 3!]

Spurs need to bust a 3 on the Suns.

[Budkin]

I think not having Horry in there is actually hurting us a bunch.

[CubanMustGo]

What the fuck is wrong with our D tonight?

Phoenix only shootin 45%, it's not all bad

[Spurologist]

DAMN

This game is tailor made for

BIG SHOT ROB

[Trainwreck2100]

Duncan may not have the blocks record yet, but he has to have the record for most offensive rebounds off of FTs

[jmard5]

If we just played Spurs D in this game we'd be up 10 at least.

That is what I said ago.

Atxrocker disagrees. He said a while ago if we are watching the same game with him. :lol

[peskypesky]

If we don't get some separation, we're going to be fucked when it comes down to ft's in the last two minutes.

[Budkin]

Bruuuuuuuuce!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

If anyone needs evidence that Tim picks it up yet another notch in big playoff games:
20pts, 9bds, 8blks with well over a Q left.

He'll have a triple double tonight.

[resistanze]

Bowen!

[Horry For 3!]

Spurs need to bust a 3 on the Suns.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 3333333333333333333333333

[peskypesky]

3!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ForeignFan]

no it is time to leave the suns a few points behind - like 10 points behind ....

[ballhog]

Good play BB

[spursrocksocks]

bwnd

[ShoogarBear]

I think not having Horry in there is actually hurting us a bunch.Did seeing Bonner out there give it away?

[FatLazySpurFan]

Bowen hits a 3...now he will body up on nash....he loves manly contact

[dtrain]

There it is!!!

[ballhog]

Put the fucking dagger in them now......time to D up for the next run from Suns.

[Spurminator]

:lmao


D'Antoni: We're better, we're better, we're better.....

Spurs: Bang, Bang.

[hitmanyr2k]

This is the first playoff game the "big 3" for the Spurs are all on their "A" games. I don't think they can play any better right now.

[Horry For 3!]

Its time to reign some 3s on them bitches

[J.T.]

GINOBILI!!!!

Oh man that was sweet, Manu my boy.

[FatLazySpurFan]

Is Bowen married? If so, I bet his wife as jealous...nash gets more action from that manlover

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu is back methinks. He was punching the air before that ball was even half way there... and it's all down to DRIVING RIGHT. ;) :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bruce was huge. I thought that was energy enough, then Manu in like 5 seconds later, another one!

[itzsoweezee]

wow, the more he talks, the more i hate that little fucker d'antoni.

[easjer]

Whoever said that thing about needing threes for breathing room - you were right dude.

Now D needs to keep this up and get us more space. As much fucking space as possible. They'll look to answer with 3's quickly.

[Horry For 3!]

I make it rain I make it rain I make it rain on dem hos

[L.I.T]

Random Note: Both times they cued up a Sun talking smack the Spurs drilled threes.

What does their Director of Lavatory Clean-up have to say?

[Budkin]

Didn't I Say We Needed Separation!!!!!!!!!

Keep saying it dude... Say we need to be up 20!!!

[yeahone]

thats the spirit my spurs lets end the suns season tonight

[atxrocker]

good thing the league handed this series to you guys

[FatLazySpurFan]

ET...phone home

[SpurOutofTownFan]

This is where we set apart from the suns. GO GO. Man, spurs and 3rd quarters - a match made in heaven

[Capt Bringdown]

Must of have been an incredible timeout by Pop:
"Whoever hits the most 3's in this quarter wins a case from my cellar."

[ColoradoSpursFan]

this is one hell of a game! lets not celebrate too much... 8 points can dry up in less than 50 seconds!

[peskypesky]

This is the first playoff game the "big 3" for the Spurs are all on their "A" games. I don't think they can play any better right now.
You're right about that. All three have shown up tonight. God bless 'em.

[Horry For 3!]

Whoever said that thing about needing threes for breathing room - you were right dude.

Now D needs to keep this up and get us more space. As much fucking space as possible. They'll look to answer with 3's quickly.
I have been sayin all the time in the blog that we needed to hit 3s and I just posted we needed to bust a 3 on the Suns and then Bruce did it. Then Manu did it.

[Tigole Bitties]

Outside of the weak inflatable thundersticks, did Holt pass out any freebies for the fans tonight?

[Budkin]

Now for the love of God... play some Spurs D and no choking!!!

[TampaDude]

Put the fucking dagger in them now......time to D up for the next run from Suns.

WERD...NOW is the time to put the Suns away...they will come out screaming hot in the 4th...count on it!!!

[FatLazySpurFan]

all 5 NBA fans will tune into the conference finals. NBA basketball is baaaaaaaad

[BigBeezie]

D'antoni needs to STFU with the "we have more talent" talk.

[freedom&justice]

Must of have been an incredible timeout by Pop:
"Whoever hits the most 3's in this quarter wins a case from my cellar."

:lol

[jmard5]

Tighten the defense. Tire out the Suns.

[SpursFanFirst]

:lmao


D'Antoni: We're better, we're better, we're better.....

Spurs: Bang, Bang.

:lmao I thought that was great timing too!!!

[FatLazySpurFan]

time for bowen to man up on nash....bowen brought his vaseline. he loves to penetrate nash

[Trainwreck2100]

D'antoni needs to STFU with the "we have more talent" talk.


Bad timing to show it too.

[peskypesky]

good thing the league handed this series to you guys

Yeah, wasn't that cool how STern just hit back-to-back threes!! FU

[Horry For 3!]

Bullshit call

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

good thing the league handed this series to you guys

1. it's not over.

2. go STFU.

[milkyway21]

The winner of this series goes on to face the Utah Jazz and my money is on San Antonio. Of course, if the Spurs can't put away the Suns tonight, they are in for a long game Sunday in Phoenix.
- Pregame

The Spurs will be looking to wrap this series up, but must do so without veteran Robert Horry on the court. He is serving the second game of his two game suspension and will have to look on from the hotel room. Don't expect that to stop the Spurs much. Yes, Horry is a tremendous clutch shooter and a cagy veteran. However, I think the Spurs will do just fine without him.


------------------------------------

YES :elephant

the 3s are coming in :clap

[Budkin]

Good kick..k. Nash woulda made thaqt.

[FatLazySpurFan]

bowen is looking to suck some pole

[peskypesky]

Let's get a stop and then go up by double figures!

[yeahone]

[Budkin]

[L.I.T]

There's that extra gear i was talking about.

[spursrocksocks]

[jmard5]

[Darkwaters]

[Fabricio Oberto]

Elson sucks, put me in.

[SpursFan0728]

holy manu and his rebs

[yeahone]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[FatLazySpurFan]

why does pops face have so many craters?

[Budkin]

Awful shot by Manu

[Darkwaters]

9 boards for Gino. Nice.

[hitmanyr2k]

Ginobili has been a demon on the boards the last 2 games. Even moreso in this game than Game 5.

[easjer]

Gotta get those rebounds or make those shots, y'all.

[jmard5]

Don't fall in love with the 3 too much. Suns are in foul trouble. Drive!

[dtrain]

Timmy with another block!

[Capt Bringdown]

Can we give Duncan a touch please?

[FatLazySpurFan]

manu fuck face

[Pistons < Spurs]

1 block away for the triple double

[Spurologist]

MAnuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu from TP

[resistanze]

Killer Instinct.

[jmard5]

Manu tres!
