Spurs @ Warriors - Dec. 11 Game Blog

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bonner fucked up the jump ball , i'm rescinding my praise of him

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Game over. I have to go anyway

[Tippecanoe]

Is Tim playing Thursday night?

theres no need to rush him back. though, i hope he is

[TDfan2007]

The offense was awful tonight, Jackson shut down Manu.

[ShoogarBear]

No Duncan means this will be a hellacious high scoring game.

:smokin


This should be Brent Barry's kind of game.

:smokin :smokin

[AnotherArgie]

This shit can't get any worse.

[slayermin]

Oh well. I would much rather beat the Lakers on Thursday anyway.

[BonnerDynasty]

Spurs should be ashamed for wasting Bonner's greatness like this.



GS that much closer to making the playoffs :toast :toast

[angel_luv]

So sorry Matt!

You were awesome!

[m33p0]

i think this game will put an end to the bonner-scola argument.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs just can't make ANY baskets. What a horrible night to watch

[BeerIsGood!]

Of course, but I was greedy and wanted both to start the game. I'd give up all of it if they could win this game.

I have to say that the Warriors broadcast crew is probably my favorite opposing crew in the league. These guys aren't bad at all.

Damn, looks like I'm going to get screwed out of both with all the free throws. Come on missed free throws!

[boutons_]

and you know the Lakers will be playing really hard

[Amarelooms]

Warriors too atheletic for the Spurs....just like the are for the Mavs

[duncan228]

Is Tim playing Thursday night?

We don't have the final word yet but my guess is yes.

[TampaDude]

Damn...the Spurs got outscored 30-12 in the 2nd quarter...that's where they lost this game, folks...

[angel_luv]

Looks like the Warriors are going to win you your V-Bookie, Ruff.

[ShoogarBear]

"I won't go to the D League" in the game.

[SpursFanFirst]

:yield OK...I'm willing to admit it's over. :(
Oh well...great job, Bonner! Maybe he'll start getting more respect on this board?

[Tippecanoe]

25 PTs, 17 Rebs completely wasted

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bonner's the only one that showed up to play. I hate losses

[angel_luv]

The guys need to schedule their bad nights better. :lol

We can't have the whole team ( minus Matt the Magnificent) stink it up at the same time.

[Tippecanoe]

1000th post :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, I can see why a shooter who misses open 18-footers won't go to the D League.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

MATT BONNER SEVENTEEN FUCKIGN REBOUNDS ARE YOU SHITTING ME


The Red Rocket has pwnzaltt

[twincam]

I just don't understand why "Pop" changed the line up when they had brought down the score from 20 to 12 pts. That killed the Spurs down the stretch. Manu and Tony were having a terrible game tonight, yet Pop decides to bring them back in. Blew up in Pop's face. Go figure.

Why fix something that is 'not' broken.

You can't win them all. Looks like the Warrior fans will schedule their parade for tomorrow.

[pawe]

didnt we have some kind of winning streak against GS?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:madrun I wish I never watched this game

[angel_luv]

Austin C dunked on us. Ouchies!!!!!!!!

[FromWayDowntown]

didnt we have some kind of winning streak against GS?

3 straight, I think.

[m33p0]

its always like that. they all take nights-off at the same time.

kudos to bonner, 25pts 17rbs. nice!

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, I can see why a shooter who misses open 18-footers won't go to the D League.Hokey smokes, he almost cracked the backboard on that 3.

[angel_luv]

Ugh...

Night all.

[BeerIsGood!]

Fucking push. Udoka fucked me with that last one.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

180 combined, vBookie WIN! :D

Terrible game by our guys. Horrible.

[ShoogarBear]

didnt we have some kind of winning streak against GS?According to the GS announcers, the Warriors are something like 5-33 against the Spurs in the Duncan era, and have never won in the AT&T.

[BeerIsGood!]

shit, not even a push. Damn Udoka scores the one time I don't want him to. What a shitty game.

[SpursFanFirst]

180 combined, vBookie WIN! :D

Terrible game by our guys. Horrible.


I don't have a second to look it up, but wasn't it 100/1 odds for that score????

[TampaDude]

Spurs didn't have TD and both TP and Manu played like shit.

I'm not surprised at this loss...except for Bonner, the Spurs mailed it in tonight...

[FromWayDowntown]

Man, things like this happen -- you can dislike the loss, but there's actually some good to take from this game.

Even without Duncan, even with Manu and Tony combining for 21 (each averages about that much), even with the Spurs committing a ridiculous number of turnovers and giving the Warriors a ton of extra possessions, and even with the Spurs shooting an abysmal percentage, they were in the game until about the 2 1/2 or 3 minute mark. They held a ridiculously high-scoring Warriors team under 100 points without their defensive stopper. Had they shot the ball even marginally better tonight, they win or at least give themselves a chance to get the win late.

Moral victories don't mean much, but to me, those facts are more than a moral victory -- they're a sign that this team is potentially quite exceptional. Even exceptional teams lose when they encounter some adverse circumstances, and this team faced some adverse circumstances tonight. They lost one of the 15-22 games they're going to lose this season. It happens. It still doesn't make it all bad.

[BeerIsGood!]

10/1. 100/1 if one less point :madrun

[BonnerDynasty]

25 pts, 6OREB, 11 DREB, 1 ast, 1 blk, 3 to



Nice def by Udoka also.

[SpursFanFirst]

10/1. 100/1 if one less point :madrun

aw man! So close!
:pctoss

I bet on 118 or something like that.

[The Truth #6]

That has to be one of Manu's worst games in recent memory. Tony also. I would have liked to see Ime play more, especially in the 2nd half. Taking him out for Finley was worse than bringing Tony and Manu back in with the 11pt deficit.

Not that it would have mattered. We played sloppy, dumb, and timid and didn't deserve to win this game.

But I agree with others that we brought the A team back too soon. It's not like we were really back in the game yet. We were still down 11. Oh well, whatever.

The Big 3 became the Big 0 and the game was still for the taking late in the 4th. At least this one was on the road, I'd hate to lose a home game like that.

[meta2007]

Bonner has a big game, and it means warriors' post area is really weak. When Duncan comes back, we can easily beat them!

:tu absolutely...great take!

[greens]

Bad game especially for Tony and Manu:

Tony: 11pts, 6TO,
Manu: 13pts, 5TO, (1 steal, 1 block)

Spurs can't really win if none of the Big Three is playing well...

[E20]

If the Spurs were in the game or led, people here would be complaining about their announcers.

It was enjoyable seeing the second team play hard. If they hadn't gotten tired I don't know if Pop would have ever put the starters back in.

[Borosai]

Matt "The Oracle" Bonner

[Borosai]

Double post be damned!

[FromWayDowntown]

ok -- 24 from Parker and Ginobili. Point holds.

[Roxsfan]

just saw Boner stat on ESPN: 17 rebounds :clap

[BonnerDynasty]

Bonner needs a new nickname.

[Udrihlooms]

Bonner needs a new nickname.

ok, i'm suggesting it should sound mean, like "Bonner Crusher" :spin

[BonnerDynasty]

too bad he is not named Eric.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_the_Red

that'd be lame anyways.

I'm thinking Redbull.

[telecomguy]

Is anyone else worried about the way Tony has been playing the last 3 games?


No because Duncan will be back and the lanes will once again be open as TP only has to beat one man and not have to worry about the Bigs converging on him if TD is in the paint. The opposing Bigs have to stay with TD instead of helping out on TP.

The last 3 games should rest any notion that TP is able to create his own shots at will like Kobe. TP is good but he needs the big brother Duncan to keep the defense honest.

[E20]

I wonder how much SJax would have to be offered to come back to the Spurs.

[dubsball]

Sorry Guys!!! We Were Just Too Much For Ya!!!! Its Way Late, Ill Post More Tomorrow :)
