Hey, Can the Spurs Beat the F'n Sonics? - Game Blog

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu deep jumper :wow

[Otaku]

It's still an open game

[TampaDude]

Fuck...Duncan is getting hacked like a horror film and no calls...fuck these fucking refs...

[ducks]

21 foot jump shot

[ducks]

Fuck...Duncan is getting hacked like a horror film and no calls...fuck these fucking refs...
quite blaming the refs

[roycrikside]

They're not going to win this game unless Bonner, Udoka, Bowen - somebody - knocks down some open shots when Manu passes it. They're not going to let him penetrate at all.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Fuck...Duncan is getting hacked like a horror film and no calls...fuck these fucking refs...
I know. It's bullshit. We should still have our cushion if it weren't for them.

[Ice009]

so WHAT THE FUCK do we do when we have to rest Tim and Manu?

[boutons_]

Spurs have no cushion for 4th qtr. They better keep shooting 45% and hustle their butts off.

[TampaDude]

quite blaming the refs

Dude...are you even watching the game??? :lol

[Supergirl]

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, does it seem to anyone else that Duncan (who never really got many calls) is getting even fewer since the whole Joey Crawford thing? I wonder how many of them see as a threat to refs authority and subconsciously ignore more hacks on him now...

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

so WHAT THE FUCK do we do when we have to rest Tim and Manu?
Oberto's mad jumper??

[Supergirl]

Goddamn it Manu make your fucking FTs

[ClingingMars]

quite blaming the refs

it's legit.

-Mars

[duncan228]

The refs suck, Duncan is getting mugged, but there's nothing we can do about it.
They've got to play through it.

[loveforthegame]

Disaster.

[ClingingMars]

COME ON FINLEY MAKE THAT DAMN SHOT

-Mars

[Radiosparks]

Finley can't hit a damn thing tonight.

[ClingingMars]

jesus we cant buy a basket

-Mars

[Otaku]

Goddamn it Manu make your fucking FTs


It's been a long time since I saw him missing both

[ClingingMars]

FUCKKKK

-Mars

[naico]

Put duncan in already

[TampaDude]

I know. It's bullshit. We should still have our cushion if it weren't for them.

I resolve here and now to never again post about the Spurs "stretching it out" when they are up in the second half...every fucking time I post that, the Spurs blow the lead immediately afterwards.

[boutons_]

Here we go, Spurs go cold, Sonics starting hitting.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:wall oh no, it's our dreaded SPUR OFFENSIVE DROUGHT!

It decided to rear it's ugly head in the 4th?

[TampaDude]

Sonics are on fire right now...Spurs L coming up...

[hoopdreams11]

put in Richardson or some on who can make a shot

[milkyway21]

Duncan on the bench and the Spurs start to trail...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What's the throwing up smiley again?

:puke

[naico]

This is emberassing..

[thekingrobert]

not missing a beat wth vaughn at PG where's washington when you need hm?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

yeah like he tried to miss them!
He wanted to make the game interesting. Because he's Manu?

[loveforthegame]

Vaughn 2-9
Finley 1-5
Udoka 0-4
Bonner 2-7

[Ice009]

I'm convinced the DECISION IS MADE. YOU F.UCKING RIDE HORRY TILL HIS GAS TANK IS EMPTY.

BONNER can't hit shit in the 4th. The 4th OWNS Bonner.

come on Spurs, please, please fight through this and get the win. Fight, fight, fight. Don't give up.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What happened to knocking down open jumpers?

That was so easy 2 months ago, but in january none of them seem to be doing it.

[Radiosparks]

Feed Timmy!

[TampaDude]

TD is $$$$$!

[dallaskd]

this is pathetic.... even without parker

[boutons_]

Ime is stone-faced, not very expressive

[spursjustice]

even if we win.. it's still pretty disappointing struggling against the sonics...

[hitmanyr2k]

Wouldn't be surprised if Wally did it. He's been cracking people upside the head tonight lol.

[1Parker1]

It's kind of pathetic that after two tough losses, the defending champs can't muster a beat down of one of the worst teams in the league. How is this game even close?

Boston beat Miami tonight by 30 points, without Pierce and KG. Spurs barely came out with a 1 point victory against this same Miami team last week. :pctoss

[boutons_]

crunch line-ups in, 6.5 mins left

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Tim seems like he's trying to "become one" with the rim during free throws.

Dude just sits there and stares at it. I wonder what he's thinking. Please...please go in.

[hitmanyr2k]

Bowen is getting punished.

[dallaskd]

Durant and Collison are beastin'

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Stupid SERBIACK

[Please_dont_ban_me]

What happened on the Sczerbiak play with Udoka? I missed it.

[naico]

Feed Duncan!!

Manu nd Duncan pick n roll

[urunobili]

is this shit winnable?

[boutons_]

very mediocre Spurs game. A loss would be no surprise.

[loveforthegame]

I'm not surprised the team might be struggling when you have guys playing together that don't normally. And you have no bench because he moved into the starting lineup.

Still, I thought we'd handle the Sonics a bit more convincingly.

[TampaDude]

is this shit winnable?

Nope...not the way the Spurs are playing right now...

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Michael Finley sighting.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

very mediocre Spurs game. A loss would be no surprise.
It's only been a two man game. If the bench hit their shots, we'd be comanding this game.

[loveforthegame]

Big 3 by Finley.

[Radiosparks]

Whooosh...we needed that.

[Supergirl]

Finley!

[TampaDude]

Findawg for 3!!!!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Yes, Finley!

[Supergirl]

OK, Spurs, back on top by 6.

Wait, now only 4.

[hitmanyr2k]

The Ginobili/Duncan show.

[Supergirl]

ANd now it's back down to 2. Damn it.

[Radiosparks]

And just like that the lead shrinks.

[FromWayDowntown]

This team has problems.

[themvp]

Tim is everything.

[tony09manu]

Great, an and-1 by Oberto.

And another missed 3...

[Supergirl]

Make it 1 if Durant makes his FT.

SPurs should not be struggling this much against this team, even w/o Parker and on a b2b.

[TampaDude]

The Sonics are playing like this is Game 7 of the WCF.

[Otaku]

'nyways, Durant has ben HUGE tonight.

[Ice009]

Human And 1 step ladder Oberto.

[loveforthegame]

Get a rebound!!

[milkyway21]

even if we win.. it's still pretty disappointing struggling against the sonics...well, this is better than the Heat game.

tonight Parker (19pts/game) is out.

[Radiosparks]

No call?

[FromWayDowntown]

What in the hell is that? Duncan from the corner?

[Budkin]

Kill me.

[Budkin]

If we lose this game we will have officially hit rock bottom.

[milkyway21]

1 pt game. HERE WE GO AGAIN........:oops

[loveforthegame]

Thomas killing the Spurs late in the game.

[Crookshanks]

My God! What Is Wrong With This Team!!!!! Get A Stop For God's Sake!!!

[FromWayDowntown]

Against a team that gives up 105 a night, the Spurs aren't likely to get 90. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

[1Parker1]

This team has problems.

:lol Ya don't say...

:)

[Xylus]

Man, I love Kurt Thomas

I miss him so much :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss

[TampaDude]

Better make these motherfucking free throws, Gino!!!

[1Parker1]

Against a team that gives up 105 a night, the Spurs aren't likely to get 90. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

Question: Are we slowly watching the Spurs turn into the Miami Heat of the West?


:donkey

[boutons_]

"we will have officially hit rock bottom."

nah, they'll lose by 25+ @PHX

[spursjustice]

its a back to back game give the team some damn credit!

don't get me wrong.. I love this team.. and they deserve all the credit they get.. but at the same time I wonder where all the motivation (defense) has gone.. yea, they're not young anymore and we're coming off a back to back game.. but against a sonics team who've only won 9 games.. could have been better

[1Parker1]

Actually, when was the last time the Spurs cracked 100 points in a game?

[Roxsfan]

Another heated battle..............**bites nails**

[lefty]

Time for Udoka to get a T

[Budkin]

"we will have officially hit rock bottom."

nah, they'll lose by 25+ @PHX

Yeah but at least that is a good team.

[ChumpDumper]

I question playing Finley in crunch time tonight.

[spursjustice]

tense moments again

[hitmanyr2k]

It's poor execution down the stretch on both sides for the Spurs. Double-teaming for no reason leaving a proven jumpshooter like Thomas open. And on the other end you have Duncan shooting 20 footers....just dumb man.

[Budkin]

I still think we pull this one out... but there's no way in hell we win at Phoenix.

[Otaku]

Tim is 7/7 from the FT line.... when was the last time he did that??

[Amuseddaysleeper]

OMG manu

shot of the game, holy shit

[ThomasGranger]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuu!

[milkyway21]

grrr.... that was bad another missed FT by Manu.

go! :flag:

[spursjustice]

Manu 3!!!!!

[naico]

Wilcox with a fade away?OMG

[TDfan2007]

Wow! What a shot by Manu! Dumb shot IMO but it went in!

[Radiosparks]

Manu!!!!

[Xylus]

The Suns played the Sonics twice this year, and this Seattle squad gave us hell both times. They're not a good team yet, but they have a lot of energy.

[loveforthegame]

I'm sick to my stomach. I'm so nervous over this game. How silly is that.

[TampaDude]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!

[1Parker1]

Well, thank goodness for Manu.

[ducks]

had manu made 4 out of his last 4 free throws and not only one this game would be over

[lefty]

Udoka, where is the clutch T ??? :wtf :wtf

[Ice009]

man Manu is a beautiful player. AMAZING PLAYER.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Wow! What a shot by Manu! Dumb shot IMO but it went in!
That's balls

[peskypesky]

Manu is fucking clutch. What a warrior!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

come on DEFENSE

[naico]

Who's up for some overtime?

[TDfan2007]

wow...Oberto misses the layup for the win...

[Radiosparks]

They will go back to wilcox. Watch for the fade away one more time.

[tony09manu]

yeah...oberto with the missed 1 FT shot

great.

[MagnusKrauss]

:flag:

[loveforthegame]

Wow. Oberto missed layup.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

We actually might miss the playoffs, wow

[Budkin]

Who's up for some overtime?

No thanks.

[Radiosparks]

Terrible!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

had manu made 4 out of his last 4 free throws and not only one this game would be over
are you fucking kidding me????

[Crookshanks]

man - for my mental health, I think I'm going to have to stop watching the Spurs for awhile. This is just toooooooo upsetting!

[peskypesky]

Hmmm...end of game, Seattle runs offense through Durant. SPurs run offense through Oberto. Guess who wins?

[TampaDude]

Yup...Durant hits the game winner...he is the truth!

[tony09manu]

why must oberto shoot...

[Ice009]

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT. I CANNOT BELIEVE IT. WOW shell shocked!

[LaMarcus Bryant]

R O F L M A O

vintage
VINTAGE
ginobili

[FromWayDowntown]

This is hideous. Absolutely unbelievable.

[loveforthegame]

I'd like to know why Finley sat the whole 3rd quarter and then gets the crunch time minutes?

[TDfan2007]

for the love of God just don't let Ridnour get the ball...

[1Parker1]

FUCK. FUCK. FUCK.

There is no excuse for this.

[Ice009]

Who was supposed to be guarding Durant on the WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE open jumper?????????????

[naico]

Looks like Manu 'll have to save us with another three

[LaMarcus Bryant]

are you fucking kidding me????



Are you trying to defend ginobili's botched free throws

if we have those three points the sonics are down 2 now

[tony09manu]

I don't care that this is January. This is just disgusting.

[Radiosparks]

I'd like to know why Finley sat the whole 3rd quarter and then gets the crunch time minutes?
Good question. I was thinking the same thing.

[peskypesky]

man - for my mental health, I think I'm going to have to stop watching the Spurs for awhile. This is just toooooooo upsetting!

I'm right there with you....

[lefty]

UDOKA don't screw this

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan and Ginobili showed up and made the plays tonight. The roleplayers pissed this game away for the Spurs.

[Supergirl]

WTF is going on in 4th quarters? Why are the wrong people taking the big shots? This is a pattern. Other teams can manage to get the ball to their stars, why can't we???

[TDfan2007]

Well...this sucks...

[1Parker1]

This has been the most gawdawful Spurs offense I have seen in ages. .

[mikejones99]

fuck, this is the nba finals for seattle, bastards

[Emily Rose]

Fuck You Spurs. You Heartless Pieces Of Shit. Fucking Pathetic! Fuck You! Fuck You! Fuck You!

[ThomasGranger]

Quick two or go for the three pointer?

[1Parker1]

WTF is going on in 4th quarters? Why are the wrong people taking the big shots? This is a pattern. Other teams can manage to get the ball to their stars, why can't we???

Well, it's easy for opposing teams to defend the Spurs when it's basically 2 on 5.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Are you trying to defend ginobili's botched free throws

if we have those three points the sonics are down 2 nowthe dude just hit a remarkable three to keep the game close, and you're bitching about freethrows. You and ducks are imbecils

[Crookshanks]

Again - Tim and Manu show up to play - but everybody else is pretty much MIA!

[lefty]

What about a T?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I missed the beginning of HOUSE FOR THIS??? :brickwall

[loveforthegame]

I'm sure Pop will draw up a 3 pointer for Finley. Of all people. Or bring in Bonner and Horry and give it to one o them.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

beyond pitiful


I kinda hope we miss the playoffs so we can blow the team up already

oh god, bonner is in too

[Roxsfan]

I don't care that this is January. This is just disgusting.


its essentially February now.

[themvp]

Big shot time

[naico]

A three, we dont have time

We need another miracle

[tony09manu]

Oberto With The Tap!?

Lmao

Just Grab It You Doof

[LaMarcus Bryant]

DIpshit he missed free throws so what? He also kept the Spurs in the game with Duncan!


rofl
thats why i said vintage manu ginobili

his shitty free throw shooting puts us in the deficit that he got us almost out of with his heroic three
props

[ricketts]

I cannot fucking believe that.

[FromWayDowntown]

Worst. Loss. Ever.

[Emanuel20]

it is time for pop to bring bonner or finley grrrrrrrrr

[tony09manu]

We officially suck. No ifs, buts, or hows about it.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Bring on Damon Stoudamire.

I'm out, peace. Fucking disgusting.

[spursfan09]

Man I guess they can't beat the F'n Sonics!

[Supergirl]

I am starting to worry about the Spurs...And I've been saying all along that it was only a matter of time before they woke up. But their offense is completely broken and I'm not sure what the problem is.

[ThomasGranger]

And the free fall continues . . .

[lefty]

I missed the beginning of HOUSE FOR THIS??? :wall

Well, Pop will end up looking like Dr House if we keep playing like that.

[spursjustice]

0-2 :(

[naico]

Game over

Disgusted...

[ducks]

and manu blows the three

[mikejones99]

Pop gave bj a bone

[LaMarcus Bryant]

the dude just hit a remarkable three to keep the game close, and you're bitching about freethrows. You and ducks are imbecils

the game would have been close in our favor (not theirs) if he had hit those free throws.

[loveforthegame]

This absolutely sucks.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

rofl

[Radiosparks]

Snapped 14 game losing streak against the Spurs. Pop needs to hold players responsible. The support players failed to show up.

[Radiosparks]

Snapped 14 game losing streak against the Spurs. Pop needs to hold players accountable. The support players failed to show up.

[Kori Ellis]

Two games in a row, Finley had major defensive screw ups near the end of the game that were very costly. He needs to get his head on straight and get where he needs to be.

[Crookshanks]

We officially suck. No ifs, buts, or hows about it.Amen to that! Now I know how fans of other teams feel! :depressed

We're not at the bottom of the heap yet - but we're sure playing like it! I'm not even going to watch the Phoenix game - I have a sore throat from yelling at the tv that last two games!! :madrun

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I HATE THAT GAME ...horrible

[naico]

Start playin' Mahinmi, i dont give a fuck if he's young nd unexperienced.
It can't get worse then this

[LaMarcus Bryant]

:lol manu homers are ruining spurs fandom

i didn't say once how ginobili sucked or whatever you psychos keep reading

I said he blew clutch free throws and its a vintage ginobili act to hit a huge three, to keep his church going, as if that negates the fact he blew 3 free throws that would have paid off huge down the stretch just as much as the heroic three he made...

You manu homers are retarded. I like ginobili, I think he played kick ass tonight, but stop acting like a sore vagina when he is criticized.

[Sp Ginobili 20]

I'm tired of freakin' losing. Spurs better win on Thursday.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

and manu blows the threeducks, are you EVER going to outgrow this douchebag phase you seem to be permanently stuck in???

[Budkin]

I have officially lost hope.

[milkyway21]

and the answer to ghostwriter's...

Re: Hey, Can the Spurs Beat the F'n Sonics? ..is:

NO :cry

don't tell me it's because it is a B2B.
dont' tell me because TP is out.

because this IS THE REIGNING SPURS team. AND THEY ARE PLAYING AGAINST THE SONICS.

:oops

[JamStone]

the server is about to explode

[SpursFan0728]

our bench SUCKS

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

the game would have been close in our favor (not theirs) if he had hit those free throws.

Moron.


The game was lost on the defensive end. You can't blame a guy who pitched in 29 points to get this team even IN this game.

[Ice009]

Two games in a row, Finley had major defensive screw ups near the end of the game that were very costly. He needs to get his head on straight and get where he needs to be.


This was the perfect game to bench Finley and drop his minutes down to about 15 a game and start Udoka. He could have just cost us everything. Pop is a slow learner. It's desperation time and he goofed yet again.

Horry must play on until he says he's got nothing left cause Bonner doesn't have anything to begin with. The 4th quarter is not kind to Bonner's jump shot.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

why is finley benched in the third and then playing the entire third?

I don't even know if Jordan could save this team

[Dingle Barry]

i just killed myself

[DubMcDub]

:lol You guys suck. Unfortunately for me, I doubt you'll be sucking nearly this much come April.

[ducks]

this is more proof the spurs need a healthy tp

[Roxsfan]

the sonics are tough, we swept the recent home and away games but the last one required the rally of a lifetime in the second game in Seattle, rox won by 2 points........the sonics were trying to prevent an 11 and 12 game losing streak....but we gave them their 11th and 12th str8 loss.

Durant missed a 3 to win the game..it almost went in.


This was desperate team, they snapped their 14 game losing streak with you guys......they almost did it with us.

[boutons_]

The Spurs have disintegrated.
The Suns will run up the score to the very end.
They scored 125 pts tonight.
+25 or +30 points vs Spurs

Spurs are closer to missing the playoffs than they are to the WC 1st place.

[ploto]

Finley sucks off the bench. Actually, for a team with such supposed depth on paper, the bench all together sucks.

Spurs got outrebounded and Seattle had 7 blocked shots.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

:lol manu homers are ruining spurs fandom

i didn't say once how ginobili sucked or whatever you psychos keep reading

I said he blew clutch free throws and its a vintage ginobili act to hit a huge three, to keep his church going, as if that negates the fact he blew 3 free throws that would have paid off huge down the stretch just as much as the heroic three he made...

You manu homers are retarded. I like ginobili, I think he played kick ass tonight, but stop acting like a sore vagina when he is criticized.29pts 7assists 4 rbs on 10-17 shooting and you pin this loss on three missed free throws by Manu... yes, and we're the ones being irrational homers. Seriously, I refuse to believe someone can be this fucking stupid

[1Parker1]

Two games in a row, Finley had major defensive screw ups near the end of the game that were very costly. He needs to get his head on straight and get where he needs to be.


Why has he even been in the game for defensive purposes in 4th quarters is the real question! :pctoss

[ThomasGranger]

On the brighter side, this is a great time to place your bets on the Spurs winning it all.

[Vingianx]

Once a spur always a spur

[spursfan09]

I am starting to worry about the Spurs...And I've been saying all along that it was only a matter of time before they woke up. But their offense is completely broken and I'm not sure what the problem is.

One of the main reasons is obvious. Begins with a T and rhymes with baloney.

[hitmanyr2k]

I am starting to worry about the Spurs...And I've been saying all along that it was only a matter of time before they woke up. But their offense is completely broken and I'm not sure what the problem is.

If you think offense lost you this game then you're blind lol. The Spurs had leads down the stretch. They just couldn't stop the Sonics and it was because of dumb defense.

Popovich logic = Hey, let's double-team the ball 30 feet from the rim and leave proven jumpshooter Kurt Thomas wide open to drill an 18 footer. The very next time down the floor...hey, that defense worked so great last time let's double-team and leave Thomas open AGAIN so he can drill that 18 footer one more time. Finley, do you have Durant? No man, you have him. Uhhhh...I don't think so...where is he?

[peskypesky]

Start playin' Mahinmi, i dont give a fuck if he's young nd unexperienced.
It can't get worse then this

I totally agree. If we're going to lose, we might as well let some of the youngsters get some valuable experience.

[SpursFanFirst]

Well, I'm not sure what to say.
I couldn't watch the game tonight, but I just checked the final.
I can't wait to read the game recap to see what happened. :wow

[Punkkboy44]

I called this loss..look at last games message board.

[Crookshanks]

So what happens now? Does Pop really blow a gasket and go off on everyone not named Tim and Manu? Or do Manu and Tim have a come to Jesus meetin with the team and tell them to get their heads out of their butts and start playing like champions instead of high schoolers?

This team is just so pathetic right now - back at the end of November who would've thought that we would struggle mightily against both Miami and Seattle - teams with 14 game losing streaks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TDfan2007]

Sad, sad, pathetic game. Next...

[mikejones99]

they should burn the city of Seattle down, they cant do better than this

[ploto]

...on to the next one hopefully we have Parker back
Parker is flying back to SA tonight. Not going to happen.

[roycrikside]

the game would have been close in our favor (not theirs) if he had hit those free throws.

What do you want, for him to be a perfect player? You haven't noticed that he was the only reason the game was even winnable? You didn't notice how he fed guys for wide open shots the whole damn game only to get brick after brick after brick?

You're right dude. If only Manu could average 50 and 20 a night, we'd never lose.

[TampaDude]

I am starting to worry about the Spurs...And I've been saying all along that it was only a matter of time before they woke up. But their offense is completely broken and I'm not sure what the problem is.

The Spurs are absolutely dependent upon having Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili all healthy. Take away any one of the three, and the Spurs are not a title contender.

With Parker out, the Spurs will lose ALL 9 of their Rodeo games...BOOK IT!

Now I remember why I didn't bother watching the Spurs until March last year...they suck in January!

Here's to SPAM...it can't come soon enough...

[Ice009]

All I've got left to say is WHEN THE Freak IS DAMON STOUDAMIRE COMING. Roll out the red carpet for him, get the freaking limo's fueled up, it's time to pick up a mighty mouse. Sheit after seeing this game Damon Stoudmire might completely change his mind and say F THAT! ;).

[LaMarcus Bryant]

What do you want, for him to be a perfect player? You haven't noticed that he was the only reason the game was even winnable? You didn't notice how he fed guys for wide open shots the whole damn game only to get brick after brick after brick?

You're right dude. If only Manu could average 50 and 20 a night, we'd never lose.


:lmao
you are all so pathetic

Sounds to me like you're the one thinking Manu is averaging 50 and 20

[loveforthegame]

Finley only played 10 minutes in the first half, sat the entire 3rd, and then played the entire 4th. I don't understand that.

He was playing decent defense but he's really out of the last couple games.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

okay i get it
2 missed free throws in a game that comes down to the last possession are not important

manu homers, YOU GUYS WIN.

[roycrikside]

this is more proof the spurs need a healthy tp

Yeah, there's a guy who never misses clutch FTs. :rolleyes

[Dingle Barry]

I could beat Finley and Vaughn 2 on 1.

[JamStone]

I didn't watch the game, but what I want to know is how do Delonte West, Earl Watson, and Jeff Green shoot 0-for-16 from the field (if you add Ridnour, 1-for-22) and still beat the Spurs?

[hitmanyr2k]

Yeah, there's a guy who never misses clutch FTs. :rolleyes

If there's one person you can count on to miss clutch free throws it's Tony Parker :lol

[roycrikside]

:lmao
you are all so pathetic

Sounds to me like you're the one thinking Manu is averaging 50 and 20

If Manu played an average for him game tonight, they'd have lost by 15

[Ice009]

okay i get it
2 missed free throws in a game that comes down to the last possession are not important

manu homers, YOU GUYS WIN.


Seriously mate, WHAT THE FUCK?

Manu played his heart out tonight. WTF do you want him to do?

[MaNuMaNiAc]

okay i get it
2 missed free throws in a game that comes down to the last possession are not important

manu homers, YOU GUYS WIN.jesus, you ARE that stupid...

I said he blew clutch free throws and its a vintage ginobili act to hit a huge three, to keep his church going, as if that negates the fact he blew 3 free throws that would have paid off huge down the stretch just as much as the heroic three he made...

You manu homers are retarded. I like ginobili, I think he played kick ass tonight, but stop acting like a sore vagina when he is criticized.
That's such a bullshit POV? You got some resentment issues, just because of innocuous homers, you put the incentive on yourself to post "Anti-Manu" posts, just to rile up their fans, because you disapprove of their fanboyism on a forum?
And besides, nitpicking on the free throws isn't objective criticism given the development of this PARTICULAR GAME.

If you're going to go on about three free throws which he negated with that clutch three, you might as well ignore a bilion other decisive moments ( the bench scrubs for missing 8-straight shots in the beginning of the fourth)

The only time you could complain about the FT's is if Manu DIDN'T hit the three. It's like crucifying the guy who was one of the two players who put you in the position to win the game in the first place.

the sonics are tough....sure they are. Spurs s fans are the worst shit in the nba.

[greens]

Those blaming Manu for the loss...check out his stats for today:

29 pts, 7 assists, 4 3-pointers, 10-17 shooting, only one turnover, crazy 39.36 minutes for the game!

TD's stats:
27 pts, 3 assists, 10-21 shooting, 37 minutes!

Manu and Tim are the only ones playing the game!!!! Oberto also came through a bit...

If the role players don't step up, then the Spurs are going to continue to be in trouble!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I didn't watch the game, but what I want to know is how do Delonte West, Earl Watson, and Jeff Green shoot 0-for-16 from the field (if you add Ridnour, 1-for-22) and still beat the Spurs?
Their bench > our bench sans Manu

They outscored them 24-11 :depressed

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Oberto also came through a bit...




It really sucks that he couldn't finish on that last possession... If it were the playoffs he would have..

[mikejones99]

fuckers

[zaratustra007]

Stop to cry morons. Its just a game, sonics did a great job and the SA bench didnt working good...so? Easy, tomorrow is another day.

Or maybe you are felling sad cause you think your team has any choice to get the ring? Grow up!

[bigfundamental21]

So what happens now? Does Pop really blow a gasket and go off on everyone not named Tim and Manu? Or do Manu and Tim have a come to Jesus meetin with the team and tell them to get their heads out of their butts and start playing like champions instead of high schoolers?
I say all of the above :madrun


Right now is the time to draw the line in the sand.

SPAM.

[boutons_]

Jacque, Matt, Ime, Michael were 6 / 28 = 21%

[Crookshanks]

Manu and Tim scored 56 of the 85 total! That's 66% for 2 players - this loss falls squarely on the shoulders of the rest of the team!

[TMTTRIO]

Speaking of Manu he seemed to get hit really hard in the hand in the third quarter and he was clutching it some. He seemed to continue to play well after that so hopefully it isn't bad.

[it's me]

LaMarcus Bryant and Ducks will try to blame every loss on Manu!

Well, you and all have to live with it, from what I see they won’t be banned for talking shit on Manu but few guys yesterday weren’t allow to post on a thread because they talked shit on Tony. If they were blaming Tony…I’m sure they would be gone by now..

Not at all surprised about ducks...since ducks finds any excuse to diss Manu/Tim in any way possible...or any other Spur, other than TP....I usually ignore all of the ducks' posts...yet, lately it has gotten so annoying...

Seriously, when is that last time Manu played basically 40 minutes! He played more than any other player on the Spurs and on the Sonics...I think by the end of the game, he just had no more gas left...

I feel really bad for Manu/Tim...they gave their best out there...and received no help...

[Crookshanks]

Hey there Einstein!
hey stupid - my post was for all those who are blaming Manu's missed freethrows as the reason for the loss.

DUCKS ARE YOU SERIOUSLY CALLING MANU OUT FOR MISSING FREE THROWS???????????????????????????????????????????? ????

TONY PARKER MISSES MORE 4TH QUARTER free throws that the rest of the team combined. What a joke.

Hopefully it's nothing. Didn't look like it affected his jumper, so I don't think it was anything.

Thomas just grabbed him hard on the foul

Don't forget Tim.



It's just stupid to blame Manu for free throws in a regular season loss, when we take for granted those times when he's iced games down the stretch in the playoffs.
We usually never have to take game winners because of Manu's free throws.

[Budkin]

Can't win games with no bench.

[TDfan2007]

Is it just me or did it look like Tim was just jogging after the ball when Oberto tapped it out? He looked so damn slow...

[Athenea]

and manu blows the three
STFU already u stupid piece of whatever u r!
Why don't u talk about how your boy had to take a few days off to work things out and fix his personal life and kept an injured Manu taking all the burden with TD out?
He has cost us a lot already aside from the games he missed coz he is "injured": messed team's focus and general chem, Manu reinjuring his hand and overrall killing any chance to get our Trifecta going.

Laughing Out Loud

These guys are on a roll.

[Ice009]

Ducks this is the sort of shit that breaks a team up. We're a team, stop blaming Manu or whoever else you dislike for losses. I don't ever recall you saying Parker cost us a game before and he has, so be fair don't always make this a MANU VS PARKER THING. IT A FUCKING TEAM GAME. THE WHOLE TEAM LOST. Stop being a freaking idiot. Tony and Manu are two of our best players. You wanna blame someone tonight? BLAME THE FUCKING ROLE PLAYERS, NOT MANU WHO PLAYED HIS ASS OFF.

[hsxvvd]

actually can't win games playing 2 on 5!

Which of the Seattle scrubs other than Durant would start for San Antonio?

Same with this no bench bullshit, half of Seattle's team wouldn't earn a minute on our roster.

It's just a pathetic effort.

[dbreiden83080]

Things are awful right now, there is no doubt, but i am not jumping ship here. I refuse to believe that the Spurs have gone from winning the title last year, starting the year 17-3, to being this BAD this QUICK, i just don't believe it. The Spurs will come around, have faith Spurs fans.
