[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Finally Finley...

Okay i think we got this game...though I don't know whether we should be proud :lol

[Budkin]

Finley saves us from the Knicks. What is going on with us?

[urunobili]

Eat that! Michael Finley Tres

[marini martini]

Please God, make it happen

[Budkin]

We've been pretty bad for almost a month now... can't wait to have everyone healthy...

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

If we played DerMarr in the second half it would've been a blow out.

[loveforthegame]

Thank God for Finley. He hasn't had the kind of game tonight like his previous ones but still needed tonight.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu, Brent, either, both, PLEASE COME BACK SOON. The team looks lost without you... except MAtt Bonner! :lol

[Budkin]

Bullshit call.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Bullshit. Nate should've been called for the charge.

[Tek_XX]

Ha Tonys face.

[m33p0]

Finley saves us from the Knicks. What is going on with us?
spurs have become mediocre. "woosaah!"

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Someone better bring Tony's face in for captioning. That was priceless.

[Budkin]

In and out... ugh.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Tony with gay defense.

[Budkin]

Fuck this shit. :bang

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Someone please tell Tim to quit shhooting jumpers

[Budkin]

We're going to lose.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Spurs are just asking to be raped.

[BonnerDynasty]

You gotta be kidding me.

[Budkin]

WTF!!!! Bowen??? This team fucking sucks!

[Budkin]

Bowen hits the first.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Good to know Bruce has nads, unlike Tony & Tim tonight.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Duncan got saved by the Knicks own fuck up

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Mental mistake after mental mistake... :(

[m33p0]

bruce almighty!

[WalterBenitez]

this game sucks

[vander]

when the ball flies up, that usually means the defender hit his arm

[ShoogarBear]

Smoking Bruce Bowen :smokin

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!!!!!!!!!!

[Budkin]

This is embarrassing even though we're up 3.

[m33p0]

let the game end. puh-leeze.

[Josepatches]

fault before the shot

[ShoogarBear]

when the ball flies up, that usually means the defender hit his armLooked clean to me on the first replay. Crawford had a high dribble with the ball exposed.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs are totally average right now. Ugly. Pathetic, actually.

Well done under pressure Bruce (even though he should NOT have had the ball)

[duncan228]

Bowen hero of the game.

[m33p0]

yeah bruce!!!

[slayermin]

Bruce Freaking Bowen. Misses the wide open jumper last night. But knocks down the two critical free throws to win the game tonight.

I love this team.

[Budkin]

Not a good win but I'll take it.

[ShoogarBear]

This is embarrassing even though we're up 3.Knicks are playing their asses off tonight. Last night was more embarassing.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Lucky win.

[BonnerDynasty]

lmmfao Thomas.

[mVp]

Ugly win... but I'll take it :lol

[Budkin]

When the hell is Manu coming back?

[Tek_XX]

.02 and a timeout.

[loveforthegame]

Bowen with a big save tonight. Hit big ft's.

Not great but we'll take the win and move on.

[timmy21_4rings]

curry getting 25 against td sucks...insult....

[duncan228]

It's got to be so hard as defending Champs.
Every team brings their A Game to us.
We've got to fight through that every night.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:tu to Knicks announcers, awesome.

Thumbs down to our team. Find your game again soon, please.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

This game was won by Bonner's nads.

[ShoogarBear]

Malik and Pop have to be physically separated, the hate is so strong.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

This is pathetic. we DON'T NEED A HERO against the fucking Knicks :lol

oh well, at least we got the W

[T Park]

you people are unbelieveable :lol

[boutons_]

no fun watching that game.

[urunobili]

Bowen Iced it

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Someone better bring Tony's face in for captioning. That was priceless.

[loveforthegame]

Bowen the leading scorer with 15. Finley and Bonner with 14 each.

Good thread start!

Didn't kick ass, never the less, great game! And this is why I love my spurs :toast

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs have no closer without Manu.

I can't believe how shitty Tim and Tony did in crunch time, turnovers everything

[Barbarian]

Anyone else watching this game with Knicks commentators?.......I didnt think it could get worse than Sean Elliot's homerism.

[djohn14]

Well, we won. I wished it would have been a little better...but we won. Im a little upset we didnt get to see more of DerMarr, but he did good in his 5 minutes.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sure, but that's not why we're losing. Somehow, we've lost our identity. TP and TD are streaky at best, Fab and Rob have disappeared. Bruce, Mike and Matt are the only players performing right now. Manu and Brent make a big difference, but they don't explain the way the team is playing right now.

Feels very much like January last year. It will soon be time for Pop to pull out the big guns and get these guys angry... Feb 1 is my prediction.

[BonnerDynasty]

Bonner has stepped up his defense. :clap:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Anyone else watching this game with Knicks commentators?.......I didnt think it could get worse than Sean Elliot's homerism.

And it didn't. They were very fair and balanced.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

so the mighty spurs have a nail-biter against the knicks
:lol

I think the team's just really passive-aggressive and they rebel against their championship recognition.

Like Boston blows out these bottom feeder teams by historic margins, and we look to do the opposite.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

you people are unbelieveable :lol

Why?

The Spurs are playing like shit right now and we're not allowed to be concerned?

[mVp]

They were pretty good IMO

[ShoogarBear]

:lol @ calling the Knicks announcers homers. That redefines cluelessness.

[Barbarian]

They were pretty good IMO

They thought that last TO on Crawford was a foul on Bruce.....Clearly not.

[themvp]

Why?

The Spurs are playing like shit right now and we're not allowed to be concerned?

You should not panic. I like if this team goes through a lot of ups and downs over the season, then I know they'll be ready in playoff time, IMO.

[milkyway21]

score pls?

[anjlbitz]

Most important thing is that the Spurs err Bonner/Finley/Bowen pulled it out and even more important..



I won at the vBookie.

[slayermin]

It's one less win to 60. I'll take it with a smile.

Do we take back to backs for granted now?

[Barbarian]

:lol @ calling the Knicks announcers homers. That redefines cluelessness.

Im well aware of New York announcers and their history of being homers. I was merely asking if someone else saw the same telecast as I did.

[boutons_]

Spurs win again by 3Gs, 50%/33 pts vs 42% FG, amazing.

[ShoogarBear]

Im well aware of New York announcers and their history of being homers. I was merely asking if someone else saw the same telecast as I did.You're embarassing yourself. Breen and Frazier were very good and balanced.

[slayermin]

I thought Breen was less flattering of the Spurs on his National telecasts.

[bigfundamental21]

All I can say about this game is WHEW!

We continue to play down to teams. We should have easily beaten them by 20.

But I guess a win is a win. I just hope Manu comes back soon. It's obvious we are struggling without his energy and offensive punch.

[T Park]

The Spurs are playing like shit right now and we're not allowed to be concerned?

yes freak out in the beginning of january.

Because, wow, THEYVE NEVER PLAYED CRAPPY AT THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY!!

Without their second best player and one of their best shooters.

Fine freak out.

I mean its basketball, PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[T Park]

Frazier is balanced but horrible.

Mike Breen is one of the best in the business.

Has been for a long time now

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

It could be worse.
We could've heard angel_luv actually try to talk basketball.

[duncan228]

It will soon be time for Pop to pull out the big guns and get these guys angry... Feb 1 is my prediction.

RRT followed closely by SPAM.
We'll be fine.

[duncan228]

score pls?

97-93

[duncan228]

Harsh.

[greens]

What happened?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

What happened?
Got called for a blocking foul when it was clearly a charge. His reaction was just fantastic.

[greens]

Thanks! Was he laughing or something? Or looked mad?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Thanks! Was he laughing or something? Or looked mad?
The shocked "you gotta be kiddin me!" look.

[ricketts]

wow, no one showed up for the spurs tonight. here or on the court.

[greens]

The shocked "you gotta be kiddin me!" look.

:lol

[bigfundamental21]

The shocked "you gotta be kiddin me!" look.
That was hilarious. Tony was completely shocked.

The other thing that was funny was when Horry tapped the ball off of Malik's head and out of bounds. Great veteran move.

[TampaDude]

Yeah, it was the Knicks...but a win is a win...

[Sweetey]

Bonner has been the best Spur over the last 4 games.

AMEN to that. Parker has his head so far up his Hollywood ass, he can't remember how to play NBA. He is a total embarrassment and it is NOT his damn ankle. He should either move to Hollywood with Ms. Eva or stay here and play ball the way he used to -- BEFORE he got married.

Thank God for Matt Bonner !!
