Doh! Yes. I always forget to change it in my mind when I check Spurs.com.
:oops

Oh well...it's coming!

[Kori Ellis]

will we have vBookie for this game?

Yeah, I'll make one now about the last shot, so that people will have time to bet.

1h and 10 min...

[TMTTRIO]

They just said Manu's going to play today :)

[timvp]

They just said Manu's going to play today :)
:hungry:

[themvp]

Yes!

[debo]

They just said Manu's going to play today :)

what a relief. Now we at least have a chance.:rollin

[Dex]

If Manu injures that finger again, I'm gonna have to start throwin' rocks.

[loveforthegame]

I should read all threads before posting.

It'll be nice to have Ginobli back out there. Might as well find out how well he can play with the splint on his finger before we face tougher competition.

[djohn14]

So Manu is gonna play, thats good...but no DerMarr?

[duncan228]

I have this game on the local Clippers channel.
They seem respectful, I hope they stay that way.

[Dex]

Damn, I just realized that this is a day game.

More so, I just remembered the great luck that usually seems to follow those.

Nobody get too excited. O_O

[ricketts]

Where did ya'll here Manu is playing today? Game notes said he was out.

[Tek_XX]

Manu and his finger workout.

[duncan228]

Duncan's thumb taped again.

[Tek_XX]

Why is Horry starting?

[loveforthegame]

Kaman blocking two layup attempts by Bowen. Off to a swell start.

[shelshor]

I have this game on the local Clippers channel.
They seem respectful, I hope they stay that way.
If its Ralph Lawler, he usually is fairly rational

[boutons_]

Another 15-ptr 1st qtr from the Spurs?

[boutons_]

Spurs 33% vs 50%.

[Dex]

Why is Horry starting?

1) Oberto has sucked up it with Manu out.

2) Horry obviously has a ways to go before he's into full form, so I think it's a chance to get him more minutes and run.

[duncan228]

If its Ralph Lawler, he usually is fairly rational

I don't know if it was him or his partner, but one of them just spoke beautifully about Duncan. He said he had a chance to speak with Duncan for several minutes before the game. That Duncan was down to earth, pleasant, and answered everything he was asked. He asked Duncan how he keeps his superstardom in check. Duncan said that he doesn't look at it like that. That he loves to play everynight, loves to win, and that's why he plays. There was more, I'll need to replay it later to catch the rest. But this announcer spoke with such respect for Duncan. It was nice to hear.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu in

[duncan228]

Manu heavily wrapped. He and Duncan look like twins!

[angel_luv]

I just turned on the game.
So good to see Gino playing. I've missed him!

[SpursDynasty]

I just turned on the game.
So good to see Gino playing. I've missed him!

Hey pretty lady :-)

[Dex]

Kaveman is killing us inside.

The only person who's gonna do something about that is Tim, but he's gotta avoid foul trouble.

[Dex]

Watch Fab go for 30 now. :lol

[SpursDynasty]

Ok..why are we letting the Clippers shoot on us.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs only 5-16FG

[loveforthegame]

Those shots will start falling I'm sure.

Finley with 4 rebounds, 2nd only to Duncan's 5.

[mVp]

Spurs only 5-16FG

We're lucky to be only down 3

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

:) Manu and 1.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu and one!!!

[Tek_XX]

The Spurs are playing very uninspired basketball.

[loveforthegame]

Ugly. Would someone please hit a shot.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony and one!!!!!

Duncan and Parker came alive in the 2nd quarter with some help from Ginobli.

Finley scoreless on 0-4 shooting but does have 8 rebounds, 1 assist, and a block shot.

If the Spurs play like this tomorrow night the Warriors are going to shit all over them and then rub there face in it.
probably :lol

[RashoFan]

Fab to Manu with a behind the back pass at the end of the 3rd was nice. too bad the didn't get the FG

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I hope Manu's long range comes back soon as his finger continues to get better, that was a big reason why he had such a good start.

[Amarelooms]

Wow Spurs looking impressive.......

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Parker's done a good job so far and penetrating again this game

[boutons_]

Will the Spurs find a little effort to escape with a win against yet another lottery team?

Spurs shooting all the way up to .... 39%

[Spurs Brazil]

JV/Manu/Bruce/Bonner/Oberto to start the 4th

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs 1-11 from 3PT

[RashoFan]

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

The clippers announcers over here are Manu homers :lol

[RashoFan]

Vaugh zips the ball to Manu 68-64 Spurs

[SpursDynasty]

I have a feeling some third-string player from the Clippers is going to hit a game winner on us.

[RashoFan]

Clipps staying in the game, tied score. Bowen miss on a 3. Vaughn gets a FG 70-68 Spurs

[Spurs Brazil]

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Our Bench is leaps and bounds better as a machine with Ginobili heading it. They compete against our starters in productivity. :lol

[boutons_]

Looks like another nail biter than could go either way.

[Amarelooms]

lol Bowen airball a wide open corner 3....and Vaughn make a luck shot. Please if there is a god let the Mavs play the Spurs in the playoffs

[Spurs Brazil]

lol Bowen airball a wide open corner 3....and Vaughn make a luck shot. Please if there is a god let the Mavs play the Spurs in the playoffs

Isn't Mavs playing now?

You should stop worry about the Spurs and worry about Allas

[Hemotivo]

San Antonio 72, LA Clippers 70

[SpursDynasty]

Why do players try and block dead shots? Is it some sort of insecurity? I notice Kevin Garnett does that a lot, and some Clipper did it a few seconds ago.

[RashoFan]

Maggette with 5 fouls. he is sitting out for now.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruce to the line

1/2

Spurs up 3

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol @ Duncan's classic foul face

[RashoFan]

Kaman fouled by Tim 1of 2 FT made 73-71 Spurs 6 mins left in 4th

[Amarelooms]

lol at Duncan acting like he didnt foul...has Duncan ever fouled?

[Tek_XX]

Kaman showing Tim how to be a man.

[SpursDynasty]

Why are we allowing the Clippers to make their fake little jump shots on us?!

[RashoFan]

Thomas drains a 3 and clips lead 74-73

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Kaman's doing great. He should win MIP

Pulled down a hard rebound, made a perfect pass out to an open shooter.

[Hemotivo]

where's manu?

[loveforthegame]

Spurs down 1. Is this a joke? Seriously need to wake up and put this lottery Clipper team away.

[RashoFan]

I am getting the egg out now..

[Amarelooms]

Damn i wish the Mavs could somehow get Kaman...that dude is a beast...Mavs would be unbeatable with him

[angel_luv]

On first listen on that Rampage Spurs night commercial it sounded like they were saying, " Register to win Tim Duncan" :lol

[Tek_XX]

Why do players try and block dead shots? Is it some sort of insecurity? I notice Kevin Garnett does that a lot, and some Clipper did it a few seconds ago.

Yea it might be just fun or they don't want them to get any practice in.

[boutons_]

A Clipper team we let hang with us.
As long as we get the win it's all good.

[RashoFan]

Manu going to the line, Kaman with 5th foul. 2:04 left with Spurs up by 4.

[Amarelooms]

Only reason Spurs gonna win is cause they shot like 15 more free throws.

[Typhoon]

Manuuuuuu

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

A Clipper team we let hang with us.
As long as we get the win it's all good.
The Clippers actually played pretty good basketball today, so i'm not too bothered.

[duncan228]

I have never heard opposing color guys be so complimentary towards the team and towards Duncan in particular. This guy loves him.

[RashoFan]

Either the ojo on the spurs is great or my tv screen is dirty. :lol

[Hemotivo]

Manu +15

[duncan228]

[angel_luv]

Walk it off Big Guy!

[loveforthegame]

Ugh. Keep us updated. Just great.

[mVp]

Shit...

[Texas_Ranger]

No!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Tim should wear knee pads from now on

[LaMarcus Bryant]

these clipper announcers are fucking cool

not only do they keep the color commentating to a minimum, they're doing play by play as if they were radio commentators, and when duncan went down they were saying "Hate to see him go down, he is definitely one of the few jewels of the league that make the game worth watching"

they're also constantly saying how good parker and gino are
lol

[duncan228]

He seems to be moving okay.

[angel_luv]

They're not going to sit Tim?

[RashoFan]

manu fouled

[angel_luv]

He seems to be moving okay.


Looks like he's limping a little bit, but at least he can get up and down the court.

[duncan228]

They're not going to sit Tim?

He's out now.

[angel_luv]

There you go Timmy. Sit and rest.

[Hemotivo]

he's limping

[boutons_]

Tim's not limping, get some heat on it overnight.

[duncan228]

Duncan messing with it on the bench but I think, (I hope), it was just a "stinger."

[Amarelooms]

GS gonna run him out the gym tomorrow lol

Yeah, overall, I've been impressed with the whole feeling of this game.
The announcers have been very good, the crowd cheering when Duncan got up was nice, and I like the camaraderie (yeah, spelling isn't right) between the players is nice to watch.

[themvp]

He will be okay.

[Texas_Ranger]

I just hope he'll be OK.

[RashoFan]

Come on Finley...vbookie time.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu makes both


Looks like Tim's gonna have to get his knee checked out. Hopefully it was just a stinger

[Hemotivo]

San Antonio 87, LA Clippers 80

[duncan228]

This time it's his left knee. The other hit was his right.
The left is the one he had surgery on.

He's gone now, headed to the locker room.

[Hemotivo]

:34.2 SA - Personal foul on B. Bowen

Glad that's over with. Spurs played tough down the stretch and got the win.

Must have a better performance to beat the Warriors tomorrow night. I'll be at that game so hope it's a good one.

[ThomasGranger]

GS gonna run him out the gym tomorrow lol

You Mavs fans must know a lot about what that's like to watch.

[Amarelooms]

You Mavs fans must know a lot about what that's like to watch.

Yep and you can tell me how it feels tomorrow night :elephant

[ChumpDumper]

Spurs with a net postitive 23 free throws lolWhat's funny about that?

[FromWayDowntown]

What's funny about that?

It's funny because the Spurs don't have to rely on those kinds of FTA disparities to win playoff games, I guess.

Not really funny, but to each his own.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

What's funny about that?
The fact that he's the only person that finds that funny is kinda funny.

[Russ]

Just got back from the game. Nice to see the Big 3 all on the floor at the same time! :)
