Spurs @ Hornets Nov. 9th - Game Blog

[timvp]

The Hornets are a good team when they're healthy ... and they're healthy. The Spurs are in November mode. I can see this game going either way.

Should be a fun game to watch, at least. Parker vs. Paul and Ginobili vs. Chandler.

:smokin

[duncan228]

Hoping Duncan shows up...

[loveforthegame]

The Spurs cannot afford to take this team lightly and expect to win.

[duncan228]

Spurs call on LP!
First time this season I have Sean!

[Tippecanoe]

cp3 is getting a triple double tonight :smokin

[angel_luv]

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Hornets will win tonight. Spurs havent looked anything special so far this season granted it is November. Spurs will go 4 and 2 after they lose tonight. :)

[duncan228]

Duncan looks better...

[Spurs Brazil]

TD with 4, Oberto with 4

[timvp]

Was that Peja's first career offensive rebound?

[ShoogarBear]

Good lord, Oberto has completely taken the season off so far.

[jman3000]

this isnt the playoffs and peja already coming with the airballs.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Please Dont Let Peja Get Goin !

[jman3000]

very sloppy.

and gay.

[timvp]

Hornets playing with huge amount of energy. Spurs need to come close to matching that energy if they want to have a chance.

[ShoogarBear]

Ginobili vs. Chandler.?

[ShoogarBear]

Hornets plays with huge amount of energy. Spurs need to come close to matching it.:smokin

[angel_luv]

Again with the rebounds!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs need some hustle.

[timvp]

Oh, I get it. You mean kinda like Ginobili vs. Yao.

[loveforthegame]

Ginobli will come in and bring the energy like always.

[E20]

David West is a monster.

[jman3000]

he came in and brought the airball..

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime and Manu in

[jman3000]

more timmy please.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

[jman3000]

looks like this is shaping up to be one of those 2nd half games. hopefully one of the big three will start plahying with some cajones...



thank you parke.r...

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp 33333333333333333

[timvp]

Manu doesn't shoot airballs. Those are just alleyoops to God.

[Sp Ginobili 20]

[TDfan2007]

I'm liking the way that Tim and Tony are playing tonight.

[smeagol]

[Sp Ginobili 20]

I'm watching the game on the internet!!!!!

Manu's two bricks were fugly.Oooh. Please send a link!

[timvp]

Got damn TP is back.

[TDfan2007]

Holy shit what a layup by TP!

[jman3000]

this looks like it might be a 30 pnt game for tony the way were gonna ave to rely on him for offense.

[sa_kid20]

Damn Tony is just on fire right now!

[Spurs Brazil]

DW in

[timvp]

"I was hoping you were going to give that one an 'Oh Mama'" -- Sean Elliott

:lmao

[sa_kid20]

Nice shot by Ime

[ShoogarBear]

That was a nice little comeback.

[sa_kid20]

Nice pg battle right now. Hopefully Manu can get in the mix soon

[smeagol]

Brilliant Q by TP

[timvp]

Bobby Jackson has some Bonzi Wells in him. He likes to go for 20 against the Spurs.

[smeagol]

And TD is not sleepwalking.

That's for sure.

[E20]

Someone needs to slap or hit Manu.

[Spurs Brazil]

What happened to Manu?

Shoening said he went to the locker room with Sevening

[loveforthegame]

wasnt that the first 3 of the season for him?

Nope, he's 4-11 on the season not counting tonight.

[timvp]

Brilliant Q by TP:nope

The CoM is ashamed of you.

[boutons_]

Tony's on a killer tear. wow

[timvp]

Holy crap this is a bad lineup.

[smeagol]

:nope

The CoM is ashamed of you.


I like TP very much. Not as much as ducks though . . .

[EastTexasSpursFan]

Is this game available to watch online anywhere?

[word]

What channel is this game on ? I can't find it.

[TDfan2007]

our bench is getting slaughtered...

[loveforthegame]

Elson jumpers the best we can do huh? Ugh.

[Spurs Brazil]

We can't score

[sa_kid20]

Pop better stop screwing around and get someone who can score in there!

[smeagol]

What was that?

[Budkin]

What the fuck is Pop thinking with this shit lineup? We just wasted all the effort we put in catching up!

[timvp]

Who was the go-to scorer in that lineup? Elson?

[Budkin]

Washington's jumpers are just ugly.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

so is Pop considering this game a throw away just to test out the new guys?

[Warlord23]

:lmao at Pop and his lineups. At least put in Finley or Bonner to take some jumpshots

[timvp]

Washington, Udoka, Bowen, Oberto and Elson?

Seriously?

[sa_kid20]

Alright Tony is back in

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu is back

[TDfan2007]

Thank God tony is back.

[timvp]

Is Manu hurt? He looks different . . .

[sa_kid20]

Manu should drive and get himself to the line to get going

[TDfan2007]

christ man NO isn't missing.

[sa_kid20]

Can't get a damn stop right now

[ShoogarBear]

NBA Champion Melvin Ely is killing us.

[Tek_XX]

Jesus if Manu has a bad night we might lose by 20

[TDfan2007]

Jeez! Tony is killing them!

[Spurs Brazil]

Is Manu hurt? He looks different . . .

Shoening said he went to the locker room with Sevening but he didn't know what happened

[sa_kid20]

Sweeeeeeeet

[sa_kid20]

Shoening said he went to the locker room with Sevening but he didn't know what happened

Maybe he had to take a piss

[E20]

Shoening said he went to the locker room with Sevening but he didn't know what happened
Probably had to take a shit.

[Tek_XX]

Why is it that our throw aways always look better on other teams?

[E20]

Maybe he had to take a piss
:lol I didn't see that.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP from TD

[timvp]

Shoening said he went to the locker room with Sevening but he didn't know what happenedYeah looks like something is up. He's not moving well.

Might had to go retape an ankle or something.

[sa_kid20]

Nice move by Timmy

[Spurs Brazil]

TD!!

Spurs 6-0 run

[ShoogarBear]

goaltend

[timvp]

Damn, Washington with niiiiiiiice aggression. Gotta love that.

[Spurs Brazil]

DW and one!!!!

[E20]

TP and TD are on fire.

[TDfan2007]

Washington trying his best TP impression. Btw I'm liking Tim's aggressiveness tonight.

[Tek_XX]

Maybe he's not playing well...period.

[sa_kid20]

Nice take by D-Wash we need more of that

[timvp]

That one play by Washington illustrates the difference between him and Beno.

[Budkin]

Spurs playing with some passion again... woot!

[diego]

shouldnt that have been an and1 for washington?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Tp TD doing great

[Budkin]

That one play by Washington illustrates the difference between him and Beno.

Oh man totally... I never saw Beno take it to the hole like that ever.

[sa_kid20]

shouldnt that have been an and1 for washington?
They ended up giving it too him

[Tek_XX]

Tim and Tony may have realized that they might have to win this one without Manu.

[ShoogarBear]

Damn, Washington with niiiiiiiice aggression. Gotta love that.In other news, Beno Udrih is giving the Kings much-needed bench leadership.

[TDfan2007]

Tim w/ a sweet baseline jump hook

[timvp]

Duncan is actually breaking out some post moves for this game.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD 10pts (5-6FG)

[sa_kid20]

Nice D by Tony on CP3

[ShoogarBear]

Well, at least that one hit the rim.

[Tek_XX]

Ha Manu hit the rim, it's a start.

[sa_kid20]

Manu need to take it the rim! that jumper just isn't falling tonight

[ShoogarBear]

First!

[TDfan2007]

Tim w/ a jumper now! Jeez he's killing them now.

[Spurs Brazil]

[ShoogarBear]

Peja with some of his patented physical defense.

[Tek_XX]

[timvp]

Wake on Wake crime.

[angel_luv]

Aw Mo Pete! I forgot he was a Hornet now!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Duncan is awake, they can't handle Tim or Tony.... this is one of those games where I'm not even worried.

[sa_kid20]

Tied at 40 2:53 left

[ShoogarBear]

SCORE? Fuck espn.com is so slow40-40

[TDfan2007]

Chandler hurt. Fuck bruce was there which means he's probably going to be blamed for it.

[Spurs Brazil]

Chandler hurt

[sa_kid20]

Chandler looks like he hyper extended the knee

[E20]

Spurs controlling the pace/tempo.

[Tek_XX]

Fab has great hands

[TDfan2007]

Manu is a beautiful passer, period.

[sa_kid20]

Argentina Connection

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto and one!!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu's still got his passing game on.

[TDfan2007]

oberto turning into a beast.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

What's up with Oberto?

[Sp Ginobili 20]

Fabs is on a roll!

[sa_kid20]

Fab with the Dream shake w/out the Shake :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto again, 13pts

[timvp]

Zombricio Oberthorry is awake.

FAbs hot Pop, quick take him out...yes!!!

[TDfan2007]

[Spurs Brazil]

TP and one!

[sa_kid20]

And 1 by Tony!

[ShoogarBear]

The Hornets must not have watched the Finals.

[timvp]

Wake on Wake crime again.

[jman3000]

karma's a bitch.

[TDfan2007]

that was a charge...

[duncan228]

I'm glad to see Duncan back.

[sa_kid20]

Tony should've dished that to Bowen he was WIDE OPEN

[E20]

Parker is on track to go for 40 points and 10 assists.

[mystargtr34]

Damn... TP is abusing CP

[timvp]

Damn it, Duncan. That was Mav Fan level IQ.

[duncan228]

Damn it, Duncan. That was Mav Fan level IQ.

:lol

[mystargtr34]

LOL at TD

[ShoogarBear]

That's about the dumbest thing I've ever seen Tim do.

[timvp]

Tony should've dished that to Bowen he was WIDE OPENTrue time to trade the ballhog.

[TDfan2007]

Tim has come alive tonight. TP has been amazing.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Tony's gonna go for 40 :smokin

[Tek_XX]

All in all, good half

[Budkin]

Can't believe they called that shit at the end there...

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

That's about the dumbest thing I've ever seen Tim do.
I liked Manu's reaction on the replay.

[E20]

True time to trade the ballhog.
Timvp who would you take? Chris Paul or Tony Parker as of right now.

[loveforthegame]

TP, TD, and Fabbs are on tonight.

Finley must be in the doghouse.

[E20]

I liked Manu's reaction on the replay.
If anybody can upload that of what Tim did, I am really curious to see it. Or if somebody could explain it to me.

[boutons_]

Very aggressive, very energetic first half.

"Both teams played hard." :lol

Spurs played through the kids' hot shooting, and ended up with an appropriate half-time lead.

[TDfan2007]

If anybody can upload that of what Tim did, I am really curious to see it. Or if somebody could explain it to me.

just a dumb over the back foul

[Tek_XX]

I liked Manu's reaction on the replay.

Yeah, like Huh!!! How could you commit such a stupid foul!!! :spin

[Johnny RIngo]

Oberto's looking good tonight. Glad to see him active for once instead of standing around like a stiff.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

i think Manu's gonna lay an egg for tonight's game.

[timvp]

Timvp who would you take? Chris Paul or Tony Parker as of right now.Manu. If Tony would stop ballhogging and give Manu the ball this game Manu would have 30.

/CoM

[Borosai]

C'mon Ime, score 20 points in the 2nd half to avoid making me look like a jackass, jackass.

[timvp]

That second quarter was the best quarter by the team this year so far. The Hornets are playing hard and it took a while for the Spurs to match their energy. Once they did, the Spurs have looked good.

[Tek_XX]

We need more sarcasm in this thread

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Oberto's looking good tonight. Glad to see him active for once instead of standing around like a stiff.
Oberto already earned my confidence. So when he sucks in regular season. I don't really care. :lol

Him playing well is just bonus.

[E20]

Manu. If Tony would stop ballhogging and give Manu the ball this game Manu would have 30.

/CoM
I didn't know Manu was capable of shapeshifting. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

With 6:44 to go in the 3rd, Heat 74, Suns 67

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto already earned my confidence. So when he sucks in regular season. I don't really care. :lol

Him playing well is just bonus.

+1

[sa_kid20]

With 6:44 to go in the 3rd, Heat 74, Suns 67

Damn i wish i still had the free league pass preview

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Suns either are off to a slow start. Or they were at their strongest in 2007

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, like Huh!!! How could you commit such a stupid foul!!! :spinManu doesn't want to go there . . .

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

That second quarter was the best quarter by the team this year so far. The Hornets are playing hard and it took a while for the Spurs to match their energy. Once they did, the Spurs have looked good.
I think Tim and Tony are back.

Tony seems to be clicking on all cylinders today, as opposed to previous games. He was semi-off.

[Manu20]

Is it just me or does Udoka and Parker look alike? :dizzy

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu doesn't want to go there . . .
:lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Is it just me or does Udoka and Parker look alike? :dizzy
The 5 and the 9 on their backs don't help either.

[Tek_XX]

Manu doesn't want to go there . . .

Yeah i was trying to make that point, i guess unsuccesfully.

[sa_kid20]

Is it just me or does Udoka and Parker look alike? :dizzy

Yeah they do especially when your sitting in Club 200

[timvp]

Manu doesn't want to go there . . .I laughed.

And then I cried.

:depressed

[ShoogarBear]

Is it just me or does Udoka and Parker look alike? :dizzyI hope you aren't Eva.

[Manu20]

Yeah, like Huh!!! How could you commit such a stupid foul!!! :spin

Manu should not be the one to judge. :pctoss

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah i was trying to make that point, i guess unsuccesfully.I considered that you might have been doing that, but I went for the easy lob.

[FromWayDowntown]

On the ESPN halftime (Nuggets/Wiz), Walton just gushed about the Chinese players coming to the NBA, mentioning Wang Zhi Zhi, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Mengkte Bateer. Stepen A. Smith, without hesitation, followed that by saying something like "The great thing about these guys is that they can ball. There are no scrubs coming from China."

I guess Bateer is now an SAS balla.

[angel_luv]

Good basketball night- all my faves are playing.

Come on Raps! Hold on!!!!!!!!

[ShoogarBear]

Stepen A. Smith, without hesitation, followed that by saying something like "The great thing about these guys is that they can ball. There are no scrubs coming from China."
:rollin

And if there were, they'd probably be lead-covered.

[timvp]

Let's go Heat :hungry:

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Good basketball night- all my faves are playing.

Come on Raps! Hold on!!!!!!!!

[ShoogarBear]

[Tek_XX]

And all of the sudden the game appears!

[sa_kid20]

Manu starting the half again. Hopefully that can get him going a bit

[angel_luv]

when are you coming to toronto to see the Raps play in person?

You're like a bigger fan of the Raps than half the people in this city! (me, being in toronto) :lol


For this year's play offs perhaps. :)

[timvp]

Why do we keep missing part of the game? :pctoss

[angel_luv]

Dude- don't foul on a three point play Raps!!!!!!!!!!

Killing me!
12 seconds ago the lead was 5 and now we are just up 1 with 21 seconds left.

At least Philly are out of timeouts.

[FromWayDowntown]

Another second half start for Manu. Finley is hanging on by a thread, it seems.

[jman3000]

nice find by bowen.

[ShoogarBear]

sweeet pass by . . . Bruce???

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu's still alive

[Tek_XX]

Finley isn't producing.

[Spurs Brazil]

That makes me laugh so much :lol

I remeber how you ripped Fab a new one on a nightly basis before the plaoffs started :lol

That's true but I'm very happy to say I was wrong

[timvp]

Shinn and Holt ... the balla owners of the NBA :hat

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu block steal, basket..

I don't care if he scores 2 points, as long as he gets in assits rebounds and plays D

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuu

[Sp Ginobili 20]

Manuuu!

[sa_kid20]

Yes Manu is finally getting easy baskets at the rim

[Tek_XX]

They're interviewing the owner of the opposing team while the game is on...that's a first

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Cold up there...ehh??


lol, don't even get me started


it isn't snowing just yet......but it's getting there.


I need to move back to atlanta

[angel_luv]

You have got to be kidding me!!!!!!!!!!

Raps did it again! Fouled.

Now Philly can tie.

Thanks Ford!

You are so lucky Williams missed!

[timvp]

sweeet pass by . . . Bruce???I've seen a Bruce make a brilliant pass and Peja grab an offensive rebound, post up and put it up and in ... all in the same game.

World must be ending.

[Spurs Brazil]

Okafor with 25pts 23rebs in win against Indiana

[angel_luv]

Darn it Delfino!

God bless Bosh!

[jman3000]

Manu looking good with that 4-point play

[jman3000]

:monkey
nobody cares about the dag nab raptors.

[ShoogarBear]

Did we really need five minutes of George Shinn?

[FromWayDowntown]

Duncan bails out Bonner. And Bonner fumbles. And Bonner recovers.

[angel_luv]

Raps win!!!!!!!!!! :fro

Now on to the Orlando/ Knicks game.

I'll let you know how Hedo does- after the buzzer. No play by play. ( Happy, hater?)

[loveforthegame]

Who poked Ginobli in the eye at halftime? I'd like to thank him.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

damn Parker
