Spurs @ Warriors Jan. 7 - Game Blog

[timvp]

This should be a good game. The last time the Spurs played at Golden State, they did it without Duncan and played very poorly. Parker was hobbled and Ginobili had a hurt finger and was guarded very well by Stephen Jackson.

Hopefully Duncan is able to play tonight and the Spurs can get some revenge. The Warriors will be tough to beat at home, especially for a Spurs team that has struggled to score as of late. But if the Big Three are all active, this should be at least a very entertaining game.

[greens]

I heard that Timmy is okay and will play...Let's hope nothing changes.

It sounds like it will be a good game indeed if The Big Three play...

[bigfundamental21]

The Warriors will be tough to beat at home, especially for a Spurs team that has struggled to score as of late. But if the Big Three are all active, this should be at least a very entertaining game.

Defense will be important tonight. We need to keep the turnovers to a minimum and get aggressive on the boards. Especially if our shots aren't falling. I fully expect a good game tonight.

[duncan228]

So far, all info says Duncan is playing.
I hope he's able to play at 100%.
His presence underneath on both ends will make a difference in this game.

[MagnusKrauss]

Go Spurs Go!!!! :flag:

[BonnerDynasty]

Manu growing that beard. :clap

I predict him to go for 35 tonight.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yup, need Timmy to beat these guys. Should be interesting if he's playing, otherwise it will be very tough for us as they will control the tempo and run us out of the gym.

Unfortunately, the game is not on LP Broadband. :pctoss

[angel_luv]

Unfortunately, the game is not on LP Broadband. :pctoss


That's stinky.

[Alexxx]

Is there any other way to watch it? :/

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Certainly is. I'm trying all my other tricks but may not be able to watch this game, darn it...

[exstatic]

LOCAL TIME WARNER CUSTOMERS:

FSSWHD has this game on tonight, channel 150. Ignore the guide. It says hockey.

:smokin

[Solid D]

Oakland can't guard Duncan.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

lets go babies !!!!!!!!!

[Dex]

Fuck. Home jerseys on a road game. Already off to a bad start for this one and we havent even started the clock.

[bigfundamental21]

Go Spurs!

[carina_gino20]

Why are the spurs wearing white on the road?

[bigfundamental21]

Fuck. Home jerseys on a road game. Already off to a bad start for this one and we havent even started the clock.
We wore home jerseys last time we played them too.

[bigfundamental21]

Why are the spurs wearing white on the road?
Cause Warriors are wearing throwbacks that are dark in color.

[bigfundamental21]

:wtf Why is Horry still starting?

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

all shots, in-and-out so far

[bigfundamental21]

Spurs win = Pop's 600th win:smokin

Gotta pick up the offense if we want to get Pop's 600th.

[bigfundamental21]

Good thing Warriors are playing sloppy.

[duncan228]

I hate the home uniforms on the road but I like how they wear the black road sneakers with them.

[bigfundamental21]

WTF Horry!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

tony hits the deck hard

[to21]

I like the white uni's with the black dogs.

[Dex]

Maybe we should play through February with iron boots and boxing gloves.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

I hate the home uniforms on the road but I like how they wear the black road sneakers with them.

i noticed the same thing, it def looks cool

[to21]

Rebound dammit!

[carina_gino20]

I was wondering why Timmy was wearing black shoes, now I notice they're all wearing black shoes. :lol. Horry with the bait. :smokin

[Armando]

Horry :lol

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

F'n GS had to resign Peitris

[to21]

Third rotation we have missed.

[bigfundamental21]

Good D!

[bigfundamental21]

Finley still struggling with his shot.

[to21]

Fin!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

beautimous

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Our tempo, I likes it!

[bigfundamental21]

Good pass Horry!

[to21]

Clank! Clank!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Damn big rob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!11

[to21]

Bob w/ the swat!!!

[Dex]

Damn, Bruce went down awkward there after that shot.

He didn't seem to be wincing when he got up, but with the luck the Spurs have been having this season, even the Ironman isn't safe.

[boutons_]

Those blocks from behind are as much a signature of Robert's game as his Big Shots.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great pass by Rob.

[bigfundamental21]

So far, not bad. GSW just chucking up shots. We need to keep the defensive pressure and attack them in the paint.

[BonnerDynasty]

For the first couple minutes Horry plays so lazy. That pass and block were awesome though.

[to21]

TD Ohio State

LSU 31
OSU 17

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Looked like Bowen sprained his ankle.

Rob's open court blocks have always been a feature of his game. One of them turned around Manu's playoffs in Denver last year!

[bigfundamental21]

TD Ohio State

LSU 31
OSU 17
Damn! OSU doing a choke job again.

[bigfundamental21]

Tony!!!!

[bigfundamental21]

Airball By Jack!

[boutons_]

wow, why is Tim missing so many short shots and getting blocked so much?

[td4mvp21]

I don't know what Duncan's deal is, but he needs to hit his motherfucking shots and quit getting blocked by motherfucking guards.

[bigfundamental21]

Bonner hustling already.

[bigfundamental21]

17-10 Spurs with 2:51 left in the first quarter

[Armando]

The Warriors broadcast is awful. I rather hear Gorman and Heinsohn give out tommy points and bitch about the officiating.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bonner on the boards, always good to see.

Huge Ginobili block!

[bigfundamental21]

Spurs shooting 32%, but luckily the Warriors are shooting worse.

[bigfundamental21]

Damn Pietrus!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

wow, why is Tim missing so many short shots and getting blocked so much?

No lift in his legs. Maybe he needs to lose 10lbs?

Also, he's never been much of a pump-faker underneath (although he does out at 15ft before he shoots the banker) - he should add that to his game.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The Warriors broadcast is awful. I rather hear Gorman and Heinsohn give out tommy points and bitch about the officiating.

I wouldn't! :lol

[bigfundamental21]

Now Spurs shooting 26% and Warriors are up to 33%

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I think Oberto needs to start. He plays terribly off the bench.

[carina_gino20]

awful end to the quarter

[bigfundamental21]

End of the first quarter, 19-17 Spurs.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'm actually impressed with the GSW commentators


ugly game, but I am liking the Spurs D

[bigfundamental21]

I think Oberto needs to start. He plays terribly off the bench.
I agree.

[ClingingMars]

ugly game

-Mars

[bigfundamental21]

Manu!

[ludda]

shooting woes continue

[td4mvp21]

I'm about to rip my hair out, we need to hit our fucking shots!!kasdaslkfjsfffflfhuhgrpiuhrypiuyhrliewjhr;l sjqflkds

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

hahahahahahahaha

No one can buy a bucket!

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

This lineup is awwwwwwwwful

[ClingingMars]

miss miss miss miss miss make miss miss miss miss miss miss make miss miss miss miss miss make make

-Mars

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu's shooting isn't back yet

[to21]

This lineup is awwwwwwwwful
Yes Sir.

[Udrihlooms]

as long as it's an ugly game, Spurs will win this one. if GSW starts hitting their hail mary shots, this will be a very difficult game for us.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

well, maybe it's the whole Spurs team actually

[ClingingMars]

ginobiliiiiii

-Mars

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Announcers are fine.

[td4mvp21]

well, maybe it's the whole Spurs team actually
I would say so.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

The Spurs are giving the Warriors a taste of their own medicine causing turnovers

[bigfundamental21]

The Spurs are giving the Warriors a taste of their own medicine causing turnovers
If we could only turn those turnovers into points we would be blowing them away right now! :madrun

[bigfundamental21]

14-6 points in the paint

12-5 second chance points

Those stats are what have given us the lead.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

The Spurs offense outside of the big 3, currently looks like a 3rd tier team's offense, the amount of clanks and misses, reminds me of what you would see when those dreaded IND vs PHI games come on t.v.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Obviously Pop has been giving time to Rob to get his game back, but it's hurt Oberto's contribution. Time for Oberto to start again and Rob and Bonner to be used in spots requiring ranged shooters and either intangibles (Rob) or energy (Matt).

Must say I enjoy watching all three of those guys for very different reasons!

[RashoFan]

Spurs are wearing "Home" whites?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

What's with Manu and all these hook shots?

[bigfundamental21]

Parker goes down hard again.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spinning RIGHTY hook by Manu? Did I just see that???

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

How come no-one has fixed Biedrins' horrible FT form?

[bigfundamental21]

Spinning RIGHTY hook by Manu? Did I just see that???
Yep

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yep

See, I've always said Manu's right is better than people think (and he's using it more now), but I've never seen him hook it from 12ft before with his right.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

looks like it's going to be the Baron Davis show

[RashoFan]

Has GS been knocking down the 3's this game/this year? Last year was incredible with the 3pt shots.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Baron is schooling us...

[bigfundamental21]

Udoka!

[Supergirl]

I don't really understand why oberto lost his starting spot anyway
he was doing fine and we should be resting horry till the playoffs.

[to21]

Tony Parker as The Karate Kid.

[bigfundamental21]

See, I've always said Manu's right is better than people think (and he's using it more now), but I've never seen him hook it from 12ft before with his right.
Manu has the ability to pull things out of his bag of tricks from time to time. Things that make you say.... did I just see that? Gotta love him.

[bigfundamental21]

5:43 left in the 2nd 33-32 Spurs.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I don't really understand why oberto lost his starting spot anyway
he was doing fine and we should be resting horry till the playoffs.

Horry need to get back up to speed, and that means minutes.

But he's there now and Oberto should come back into the SL IMHO.

[m33p0]

i have the freaking And1 tour on ESPN.

[Manu20]

http://www.warriorsworld.net/images/stories/mediaday07/gswmediaday11-100107.jpg

My balls are okay. :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Horry's too old to start. Oberto is great starting with Duncan

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This game is Baron v Manu so far, with a dash of Timah... we'll see more Tim on O in the 2nd half methinks.

[ludda]

unless GS goes on some crazy shooting spree, I see us winning this game, eventually our shots will start falling (right?!)

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fark!

They show Ginobili highlights but miss out the long-range right hook!? WTF?

[td4mvp21]

WHY THE FUCK DOES DUNCAN SHOOT RIGHT INTO THE FUCKING DEFENDER?!?!?!!? afjlaf;lsafjdsklfafkl Thank God the ref called a foul.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

unless GS goes on some crazy shooting spree, I see us winning this game, eventually our shots will start falling (right?!)

Um, that's what they do!

One team or the other will blow this one open mid 3rd Q IMHO.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

WHY THE FUCK DOES DUNCAN SHOOT RIGHT INTO THE FUCKING DEFENDER?!?!?!!? afjlaf;lsafjdsklfafkl Thank God the ref called a foul.

Often because he's forgotten how to use his left hand. On the right block that should be a left hook, not right.

Also, he has no vertical any more.

[resistanze]

They're getting run ragged.

[td4mvp21]

I'm sick of this pussy basketball from Duncan and our pussy defense!! God damn, if we would just play some fucking defense.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

i like the Horry Manu two man game, they're both smart so they work well... too bad they didn't finsih :depressed

[ludda]

azubukie has large nostrils. I like his game though.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Pity about that Horry miss... beautiful Manu pass!

[Ice009]

If the Spurs wanna freaking be LAZY and no play defense GO HOME

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

GS Run


Lammmeeeeee....

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

First bad announcing of the night - they attributed the Horry miss to the defense! :lmao

[boutons_]

Tim and Matt, 3 of 13

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

47 GSW
41 SA

2:40 minutes left

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Duh - Matt is gonna talk about Boston and Detroit? :rolleyes

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Good job by Manu, not giving up on the play

Turnovers on both sides :lol

[resistanze]

Wow TD, turn around and lay that in...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bad steal Manu, nice hustle to steal it back.

He looks good even though his shot's not there.

[td4mvp21]

Often because he's forgotten how to use his left hand. On the right block that should be a left hook, not right.

Also, he has no vertical any more.

That was more of a rhetorical question but you are exactly right, that and I think he gets lazy on offense sometimes.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Baron is KILLING us.

Udoka should lay him out a few times.

[SuperManu!!!]

Too many points from GS...defense needs to step up

[td4mvp21]

We are too fucking predictable on offense.

[RashoFan]

Was that Baron saying to Manu "you know you touched it?" when Manu tried to steal and Baron lost the handle on the ball

[Manu20]

Halftime

Spurs 44
Warriors 51

[boutons_]

well, it's January, B2B, on the road, etc, etc, Spurs just totally sucking

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Gotta love (hate) Baron - what a player!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

aw, i kinda wanted that three to go, Parker messed up closing the second half, seemed like he wasn't thinking or something, or wanted to take on the challenge of Davis

fun game so far

[Supergirl]

Well this half sucked, and now I have to go to bed. Hope the Spurs can come back out in the second half with some energy and win this one.
GO SPURS GO.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We are too fucking predictable on offense.

Yup, not enough motion or passing.

[SuperManu!!!]

Who the fuck is guarding baron davis?

[ludda]

Gotta love (hate) Baron - what a player!

i agree, if he didn't have to completely carry the load for the warriors and wasn't injury prone, he could be even more lethal. A lot of the times, he seems worn out

[Punkkboy44]

Spurs offense not a thing of beauty..Suns in their game had 46 after the first quarter...44 for da Champs at half...

[Ice009]

Spurs have to increase the intensity. The defense has to be total lock down if we want to have a chance to win this game. You can't beat the Warriors playing lazy defense. You gotta be sharp every possession. As for the offense hit a freaking shot! be more decisive and stop f.ucking around and attack the hole. If you're going to make a move make it! don't screw around out there.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Who the fuck is guarding baron davis?
He's just doing his thing.

Udoka was on him. Fin was on him. They tried help defense on him. Nothing so far worked.

[Budkin]

Spurs will come back in the second half and win.

[Punkkboy44]

Spurs have some of the most inept offensive players in the game today...

[ClingingMars]

we know we're going to the Finals when the Spurs are sucking up the regular season

-Mars

[Ice009]

Spurs offense is pretty atrocious at this point in the season. Maybe Pop needs to hire some sort of offensive coordinator.

And why is Bruce driving all of the sudden? His drives IMO have like a 10% chance of going in, he might as well shoot the three cause that has a higher percentage of going in IMO.

[meta2007]

The spurs' defense fell apart; especially the paint area protection. :depressed

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs offense is pretty atrocious at this point in the season. Maybe Pop needs to hire some sort of offensive coordinator.

Cmon now, the O was fine before all the injuries. They put the whole team out of whack... it's only January, they'll get their rhythm back.

I'm far more worried about the matador D.

[boutons_]

Spurs giving the game away shooting 34%, nullifying any defense effort.

[Budkin]

I swear I think Pop loves going through these stretches so that by the time the playoffs come around people aren't prepared for our execution.

[SuperManu!!!]

Unleash Ginobeleeeeeeeee!

[fred33]

Spurs have to increase the intensity. The defense has to be total lock down if we want to have a chance to win this game. You can't beat the Warriors playing lazy defense.

no the spurs must score

[Ice009]

Cmon now, the O was fine before all the injuries. They put the whole team out of whack... it's only January, they'll get their rhythm back.

I'm far more worried about the matador D.


You're right man. Sometimes it just looks awful though.

The defense has to improve a lot on the second half. There is no debating that. Spurs gotta be sharp every possession otherwise they're just mailing it in.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

About the O, I wrote this last night:

I think the injuries have upset the, let's call it "passing rhythm", of the team. Early in the season, with all the players fresh and injury free, we were moving the ball effortlessly around the court, picking teams apart with passes for easy buckets.

The upset in the rotations caused by the injuries has dampened the passing to the point that most of the good passes I've seen in the last 10 games haven't been 4-5-6 pass sets for layups, but 1-pass kickouts to 3-pt shooters (who hit at a far lower %). Also, there has been almost no interior TD-Fab passing (a feature of the playoffs last year).

For mine, it's about not moving the ball with the efficiency that they did before the injuries... although maybe the D of other teams has also improved as the season has progressed to exacerbate the situation.

That's the way I see it.

[Ice009]

We gave up 34 points in the second quarter. That is unacceptable!

[Ice009]

DO NOT give them open threes.

[resistanze]

LOL @ Duncan. This is ugly.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Ginobili's pass to Duncan :wow

[td4mvp21]

Looks like Pop's not that much smarter than Avery. Smallball against the Warriors=automatic loss.

[meta2007]

I think Duncan is not 100% tonight. Actually his defense is horrible. Pop needs to play Orbert more.

[Ice009]

Man Bruce has no rhythm on his threes cause he doesn't shoot any anymore. Stop driving for low percentage plays and start getting your rhythm Bruce.

Pathetic DEFENSE!!! agggggggggggggggh

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

GSW :wow

they're outplaying us :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

uh-oh, here goes the game.

I said one team would break it open in the 3rd, unfortunately it looks to be GSW

[Udrihlooms]

Looks like Pop's not that much smarter than Avery. Smallball against the Warriors=automatic loss.

+1

We definitely look like the Mavs' 67-win team out there.

This is crazy!

[Ice009]

Small ball lineup from Pop. geez Avery is getting Pop really drunk these days.


See what Bruce can do when he gets in rhythm?

[SequSpur]

duncan is soft.

[td4mvp21]

FINALLY someone hits a shot!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bowen finally makes a three for our team

[Dex]

Tim getting pissed.

Stay tuned.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Whoever Baron is guarding needs to run him around and tire him out, Rip Hamilton-style...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Get Some Stops!!!

[resistanze]

LOL @ Homer announcer.

After showing Biedrins hitting Duncan's arm: "Got the ball"

[td4mvp21]

Tim getting pissed.

Stay tuned.

Maybe that will make him jump on his hook shots :lol

[Udrihlooms]

we're trading baskets. this is how nellie wants it...

[SequSpur]

duncan is getting used every night by got damn foreigners and other teams scrubs.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Duncan not helping us :depressed

[Ice009]

Beidrins kicking Duncan's ass is NOT ON. COME ON TD

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu tres

[Dex]

Wow. Big Three a combined -22.

That's not gonna work.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Another poor announcer call - Biedrins was all over Duncan's elbow, same as in the first half when he "blocked" it he got TD's elbow.

[Tek_XX]

Holy shit, the Spurs are horrible.

[SequSpur]

spurs are getting fucking used as usual...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That was a clean block!

Tim has a right to be well pissed off!

[Leetonidas]

Dear God this effort is fucking pathetic.

[td4mvp21]

Fuck this dumb fucking game, fuck our shitty ass performance, fuck Pop's dumbass decision to go small.

[Udrihlooms]

why are we jacking up so many jump shots and 3 balls? am i watching the spurs or the mavericks?

damn, spurs wake up! pound the paint and stuff these midgets inside!!!

[ludda]

this got ugly..REAL fast

i still have hope

[Dex]

We look like Dallas circa 2008.

[SequSpur]

Holy shit, the Spurs are horrible.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

spurs are getting fucking used as usual...

STFU.

"As usual". What are they 9-23 or 23-9?

[Leetonidas]

Why the fuck did Pop call a timeout like 2 minutes ago? Fuck man.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

The Spurs are the new Mavs for GS :madrun :madrun :madrun

[SequSpur]

STFU.

"As usual". What are they 9-23 or 23-9?

fucking blow me... i am not the one that is playing like shit and getting used by mid 6 footers...

[Budkin]

This game is bullshit. Spurs getting outplayed in every facet of the game.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Lordy. Why with the sa]mall ball Pop? We're playing their game!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Duncan you dumbass!! 24 second violation :pctoss

[Udrihlooms]

piss poor effort...

i don't know if i'm watching a mavericks game, or a fantasy game of 5 mcgrady's jacking up clunkshots all over the court... pathetic.

attack the damn paint!!!

[Leetonidas]

Who the fuck is this Azabookie douche anyway?

[lurker]

The Warriors make even the best teams look like a bunch of chickens running around with their heads cut off.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

fucking blow me... i am not the one that is playing like shit and getting used by mid 6 footers...

Does your brain not work? I objected to "as usual" which is clearly bullshit.

[Udrihlooms]

Damn it, pop, you were supposed to watch the MAvericks-Warriors game some few days ago. I guess Pop erroneously plugged the 1st round Mavs for our boys to copy. :spin

[Dex]

Oddly enough, this game isn't being lost on the offensive end for a change.

Get a fucking stop, Spurs.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I don't care if it's only January, this is almost inexcusable.


ugh

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs being outclassed

[SpursDynasty]

I just tuned in....what's happening? Warriors just hitting a few lucky shots?

[resistanze]

Who the fuck is this Azabookie douche anyway?
I don't know but he's squirting douche juice all over them :lol. They should try a big lineup.

[boutons_]

Warriors want it more, Spurs scoring some, but Warriors are unstoppable, 40% vs 56%.

[ludda]

Damn it, pop, you were supposed to watch the MAvericks-Warriors game some few days ago. I guess Pop erroneously plugged the 1st round Mavs for our boys to copy. :spin

yeah except the mavs shot over 50% that game...we're shooting just around 40...not going to work unless we get some stops.

[SpursDynasty]

Wow, Golden State draws some hot women to their games. I remember seeing Kate Hudson during the playoffs. Now Jessica Alba.

[Dex]

I wanna see Jessica vs. Eva.

That is all.

[Ice009]

Spurs are getting abused. Defense is pathetic. Small ball sucks the big one. NO ONE on this team can create a shot for themselves except Tim, Tony and Manu.

I think we need to go big. Bring on ELSON! ;)

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I just tuned in....what's happening? Warriors just hitting a few lucky shots?
not quite

GS is in a good rhythm because the Spurs are playing shoddy defense, one step too slow

Pop made a terrible mistake coming into the third, because we were right there with them before smallball.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Azubiuke. If you've never heard of him you don't follow the NBA very closely.

We're not out of this. Interesting that Pop didn't call a TO to stop the run - I think he's basically saying "figure it out for yourselves, sink or swim, bitches". They need a jolt. I like it.

[boutons_]

Spurs 6-8 on the road, and 5-5 in Last10, sucking just like last January.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Azabuike is pretty cool.

He was a fine replacement for Jason Richardson

[Budkin]

The Mavs proved that playing small against the Warriors is suicide.

[Budkin]

Ime Udoka!!!

[Ice009]

BRING ON ELSON! the small balll annihilator!

[SpursDynasty]

Ime Udoka is a beast

[BeerIsGood!]

This team doesn't want to play tonight. No energy and letting people get whatever shot they want. Fuck this shit, I'm going to bed.

[td4mvp21]

If we had two bigs in there we wouldn't be doing so poorly, but no, Pop has to stick with the same thing even though it's not working.

[Udrihlooms]

yeah except the mavs shot over 50% that game...we're shooting just around 40...not going to work unless we get some stops.


spurs look disinterested after the half. at least we were playing some D in Q1, now we're playing Nellie's ball. :drunk

[resistanze]

Udoka came to regulate.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Udoka's getting heavy minutes

[Budkin]

Spurs toughing up now.

[Armando]

Is it just me or has Popovich mellowed a bit? I am used to seeing him going ballistic on the sidelines.

[ShoogarBear]

WTF is this lineup?

[Dex]

Azubiuke. If you've never heard of him you don't follow the NBA very closely.

We're not out of this. Interesting that Pop didn't call a TO to stop the run - I think he's basically saying "figure it out for yourselves, sink or swim, bitches". They need a jolt. I like it.

Yeah, it was very Phil Jackson-esque.

Basically like saying "You shouldn't need my babysitting to figure this out"

Unfortunately...they did.

[Ice009]

have said all that - keep fighting SPURS!

WOW Ime showing us something tonight. I like it. GOOD WORK IME!

[Udrihlooms]

The Mavs proved that playing small against the Warriors is suicide.

Guess what, Pop is validating that theory....

[Budkin]

Warriors missing now. MANU!!!!

[ShoogarBear]

I can't believe this shit is working.

Udoka grabbed his rebound off missed free throw, got another and 1 :clap

he should master it, and do it three times every game 6 point plays

Fucking Oberto... ugh.

Duncan gets no ref respect any more.

He got hesitant during the GSW run because everything he did was called wrong. He was "blocked" twice when Biedrins clearly got his elbow both times, then he clearly blocked Biedrins and got called.

Fabricio needs to stop taking a page from the Ginobili book.

Flopping big men these days just draw fouls.

Lots of highs and lows with Manu.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Go energy team!

[Budkin]

Do we ever hit a fucking shot at the buzzer?

[resistanze]

LMAO @ S-Jax.

Mother Fucker Shoot The Damn Ball Ginobili You Were Wide Open And Just Crossed Up Sjax

[dg7md]

If Manu's ankle breaking there isn't on highlight reels, I'll riot.

[SpursFanFirst]

Well, I can't watch the game, as usual, but by the comments on here, I'm guessing the "soft" speech is coming soon.
We're right on schedule.

It was cool to see jackson look like an idiot.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

what was that Manu??

[bigfundamental21]

:lol

Jack just got played by Manu. Too bad Udoka couldn't hit the shot. Manu should have just drained it.

[theroc5]

Manu Ginobili! Hahaaha
