Spurs @ Wizards Feb. 6 - Game Blog

[timvp]

The Wizards usually play the Spurs tough at home. This would be a very nice back-to-back win if the Spurs can get it.

[duncan228]

I'm ready. :hungry:

The momentum is moving in the right direction.
I hope they can keep it going.

[ShoogarBear]

I'm on the Metro on the way to the V-Cent. Biznatches better win big.

[Borosai]

My head hurts.

[Mister Sinister]

Glad I got off work an hour early. I got home before the already-shitty Chicago suburbs weather got even shittier, and I'm back in time for the game.

[duncan228]

One thing I'm glad about going into this game...For two and a half hours I don't have to hear about Shaq.

Unless it's all the LP callers talk about during the game. :bang

[ricketts]

should be a good game. wizards are a tough youg team. i like the spurs chances though, they're motivated and starting to wake up offensively. lets do this.

[dbreiden83080]

Anybody else not getting any audio on their league pass just for the channel the Spurs game is on????

[duncan228]

Wizards call on LP.
I would really like to have gotten Spurs call these two games.
I wanted Sean's thoughts on Stoudamire.

[duncan228]

I've got audio on my LP.
I checked the other games running, I've got audio on those too.

[ricketts]

anyone getting a jacked up signal on Time Warner? my screen ia frozen with no auido.

[ClingingMars]

GET IN CHAT

I've got it on Comcast here, i'll do my best to tell ya what I see

-Mars

[loveforthegame]

Not feeling good about this one. Hopefully the Spurs come out aggressive or at least not fall behind big early on.

Go Spurs!!

[duncan228]

League Pass fucking up is my worst nightmare.
It happened only once last season...The Atlanta game where Manu went off.
I was pissed for days.

[spursrocksocks]

wtf my fucking cable is fucking out, those mother fuckers at time warner can fucking suck it

[ricketts]

nevermind, its working now.

[spursrocksocks]

yeah its back for now, I think they heard me yelling at them lol

[TampaDude]

Spurs by 8.

[Spurs Brazil]

Butler is out

[loveforthegame]

Ginobli off to another stellar start. Turnover and missed 3.

[ricketts]

i like the way MM movs the ball. he is a very crisp acurate passer. we need that.

[SuperManu!!!]

if anyone knows if someone is broadcasting the game, please PM me! Thanks!!!!

[BonnerDynasty]

i like the way MM movs the ball. he is a very crisp acurate passer. we need that.

Yep. He is looking good so far!

[loveforthegame]

Good to see the Spurs hit the boards and Bowen making a shot early on again.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

C'mon Tim, left hook that shit!

I HATE it when he brings that weaksauce up with the right hand right into the defender...

[ClingingMars]

sorry guys I was gone for a sec, now I'm back in chat and will do my best

-Mars

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Looking sharp early... :tu

[spursrocksocks]

Mm 33333333333333333333

[BonnerDynasty]

Mighty Mouse with the 3!

[Spurs Brazil]

Damon 3333333333333333333333333333333333

[loveforthegame]

God, I love watching Stoudamire hit those 3's.

[ClingingMars]

offense looks great so far, defense is decent

-Mars

[BonnerDynasty]

Damon getting some great assists!

[ClingingMars]

duncan DUNK!!!

-Mars

[duncan228]

It sounds like there are lots of Spurs fans there.
The cheers for us are as loud as the cheers for the Wizards.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Damon can knock that stuff down. Like the way he's fitting in.

[ClingingMars]

its lonely in chattt

-Mars

[loveforthegame]

Stoudamire with 3 assists early.

[duncan228]

its lonely in chattt

-Mars

So stay here.

[dbreiden83080]

I've got audio on my LP.
I checked the other games running, I've got audio on those too.

Damn piece of shit Cablevision out here in New York, i have had a few problems with my league pass this year. I called to complain about it, at least i have picture or i'd be really pissed off. :pctoss

[ClingingMars]

So stay here.

:( i like chat better, its faster

-Mars

[ricketts]

is there anyway to double up Parker and MM. or is that just redundant. i look at the chances these two create and just get excited. part of me knows they will get in each others way but another part of me wants to see Parker, MM, Tim, Manu and Bowen just going off. am i an Idiot?

[Mister Sinister]

So stay here.
:lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We look a totally different team on O with a starting level PG playing.

[VaSpursFan]

i didn't see last nights game, but i'm impressed with damon so far. the offense flows smoothly with him in there and he can hit an outside jumper!

[TampaDude]

Spurs looking good so far...

[callo1]

Damn, Damon looks sharp to start this game.

[ClingingMars]

i think MM wants to stay with us

-Mars

[TMTTRIO]

Manu continues to look awful. Why is he starting anyways when Stoudamire is starting?

[ClingingMars]

gotta box out fellas

-Mars

[duncan228]

Damn piece of shit Cablevision out here in New York, i have had a few problems with my league pass this year. I called to complain about it, at least i have picture or i'd be really pissed off. :pctoss

Whenever I've had any problem, I call and I get credit for as many games as I've missed. They do it by days.
At the rate LP costs, at least that helps.

[ClingingMars]

they dont think MM can shoot

-Mars

[BonnerDynasty]

Damn Damon!

[spursrocksocks]

Mighty Mouse in the house bitches

[sa_kid20]

Mighty Mouse strikes again!

[VaSpursFan]

damn...MM is just what the doctor ordered!!!

[BonnerDynasty]

Wtf My Tv Froze!?

[Spurs Brazil]

Damon 33333333333333333333333333333

[ClingingMars]

falling in love with the 3

-Mars

[TampaDude]

MM for 3!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

BANG!

MM can shoot, baby!

[ricketts]

Fricken Time Warner is frozen again. updates anyone?

[loveforthegame]

How can you not root for Stoudamire? I know it's only his 2nd game but he's already paying off for us.

[spursrocksocks]

Fuck you time warner

[ClingingMars]

come on duncan be stronger than that!

-Mars

[BonnerDynasty]

I hate FSSW.

[ClingingMars]

OH COME ON! BULLSHIT

-Mars

[Sec24Row7]

yay frozen and not even in HD...

[ClingingMars]

makeup call

-Mars

[ClingingMars]

JV in for MM

-Mars

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Travel my arse!

Nice play that - MM to Fab to TD.

[ricketts]

and frozen again, this is BS.

[spursrocksocks]

fuck there it goes again

[TampaDude]

Bowen draws the charge!

[ClingingMars]

THAT'S NOT YOUR SHOT BOWEN

JESUS

-Mars

[VaSpursFan]

bowen creating his own shot = bad

[ClingingMars]

WHAT? THE BALL DIDN'T TOUCH A FUCKING SPUR!

-Mars

[VaSpursFan]

wft just happened...commercials??? where's the game???

[loveforthegame]

Turnovers make me want to rip my hair out.

[callo1]

Fricken Time Warner is frozen again. updates anyone?


Same thing here. #%$#%^#% Time Warner !!

[ClingingMars]

GET THE FUCKING REBOUNDS

-Mars

[TampaDude]

WTF was that???

[BonnerDynasty]

Put Bonner in to stop these offensive rebounds!

[braeden0613]

Well i just missed 5 minutes of the game...thanks time warner

[ClingingMars]

if you want live updates ill give them in chat

-Mars

[Savannah]

I'm attempting to watch on FoxSW via SuddenLink, and it's totally frustrating! Seems that it's fucked up at the source of transmission, though I know beans about it. Is there any way to hit Fox with the problem?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Y'know, I think Seattle may have been the low point of the season.

Since then, this has looked like a different team.

[spursrocksocks]

This team needs more beard!!!

[TampaDude]

Game is on here...no problems...14-11 Spurs...timeout SA.

[sa_kid20]

Y'know, I think Seattle may have been the low point of the season.

Since then, this has looked like a different team.
Yeah thats exactly what i was thinking. Maybe they realized just how pathetic that was and woke up.

[VaSpursFan]

JV good move but trying to do too much

[Spurs Brazil]

off rebs are killing us

[VaSpursFan]

timmy running the wings on the break...sweet

[spursrocksocks]

good beard action

[TampaDude]

Nice feed to TD!

[Spurs Brazil]

Blatch with 8rebs

[td4mvp21]

Well expect the rebound disadvantage to get worse....Elson just came in!

[TampaDude]

JV to the hole!

[Spurs Brazil]

JV with a good energy again

[ricketts]

Man Vaughn has an ugly ass beard. i love it. Elson should try and grow his, nothing else seems to work for him. maybee that will.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That was JV's Mighty Mouse-inspired jets! :lol

[ClingingMars]

FUCKING REBOUND THE FUCKING BALL

-Mars

[loveforthegame]

Not crazy about this lineup for scoring but maybe someone will surprise us.

[ClingingMars]

NO BOXING OUT ON DEFENSE AT ALL

-Mars

[td4mvp21]

Well expect the rebound disadvantage to get worse....Elson just came in!

:lmao He just fucking stood there watching :pctoss

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That should have been offensive - JV was standing there and the OAF tripped over him.

[spursrocksocks]

Nice try Ime

[dbreiden83080]

Good energy in the first Qtr.

[ClingingMars]

one of the worst rebounding quarters ive ever seen from the Spurs

-Mars

[Horry For 3!]

Vaughn lookin pretty good. I haven't been able to watch a Spurs game in a good while cause I'm always workin.

[ricketts]

Wow, Spurs with a 5pt advantage after the 1st. i like that way this is starting. great early effort and performance by MM. i'd like to see Manu heat up and blow this team away.

[TampaDude]

End of the 1st Quarter...20-15 Spurs...

[Mister Sinister]

one of the worst rebounding quarters ive ever seen from the Spurs

-Mars
And yet, we're up by 5.

[ClingingMars]

keep MM

-Mars

[ClingingMars]

And yet, we're up by 5.

the wiz aren't that good.

our offense and defense is there, just NOT REBOUNDING.

-Mars

[td4mvp21]

And yet, we're up by 5.

The rebounding is actually even at 12 apiece.

[loveforthegame]

one of the worst rebounding quarters ive ever seen from the Spurs

-Mars

They're even after 1 quarter.

[ClingingMars]

The rebounding is actually even at 12 apiece.

not O rebounds

-Mars

[Mister Sinister]

the wiz aren't that good.

our offense and defense is there, just NOT REBOUNDING.

-Mars
I'm not that fussed, to be honest. It's the end of the first quarter.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Don't worry, the rebounding will improve. Sometimes the ball just doesn't fall right.

We had 5 O boards to their 6, both teams 12 defensive. So actually there was very little difference (although I agree that's too many O boards to give up).

[Mister Sinister]

The rebounding is actually even at 12 apiece.
I meant on the scoring, mein Freund.

[loveforthegame]

What's the lineup?

[td4mvp21]

not O rebounds

-Mars

They have a 7-5 advantage...not that horrible, although it is the Wizards. But, a lot of these rebounds have been long, you can't fault the Spurs for long rebounds that go right to the Wizards players.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

PS It could be their hoop too - the ball is falling LONG.

[td4mvp21]

I meant on the scoring, mein Freund.

Yeah, I know. I should have quoted Mars, not you. My bad.

[Mister Sinister]

Yeah, I know. I should have quoted Mars, not you. My bad.
S'all good. I thought that might have been it.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

td4mvp21 - we're on the same page today! :lol

[ClingingMars]

Don't worry, the rebounding will improve. Sometimes the ball just doesn't fall right.

again, this is the WIZARDS we're talking about

-Mars

[ricketts]

Horry grows a man beard, you see that thing. its taking over his face. but in anice way.

[td4mvp21]

td4mvp21 - we're on the same page today! :lol

:lol Yessir

[ClingingMars]

i'm not trying to be negative, but the o rebounds just concerns me :/

-Mars

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Get MM back in please!

And go to the rack Manu!

[ClingingMars]

elson fucking sucks.

-Mars

[td4mvp21]

How the FUCK is that not over the back?

[ClingingMars]

OBERTOOOO

-Mars

[naico]

what the hell of a rotation is pop using?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Please trade Elson for someone ASAP! or at least get him out of the game! No excuse for not STUFFING that O board.

[spursrocksocks]

elson fucking sucks.

-Mars
understatement of the century, plus he has no beard power :lol

[ricketts]

fab loves that shot, and i love when he takes it.

[ClingingMars]

embarrassing rotation defense there

-Mars

[td4mvp21]

Take Elson out and do not put him back in. Ever. Trade his ass.

[Spurs Brazil]

Get Elson out

HE SUCKS

[Mister Sinister]

Take Elson out and do not put him back in. Ever. Trade his ass.
Elson for Shaq!

[loveforthegame]

2 fouls on Stoudamire.

Damn turnovers.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Pop's experimenting.

This game will be decided late 3rd quarter... or early 4th. Feels like both teams are going to stick around.

[ricketts]

if elson is what it takes to be an NBA caliber player than i should be on the roster right now. and i suck.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Elson sucks..

Manu needs to stop his facilitator role and start dunking again

[dbreiden83080]

I love 7'0 players that can't finish at the rim, i mean how the fuck did you get in the NBA being that tall and not able to do that???

[ClingingMars]

obertoooo

-Mars

[spursrocksocks]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbb

[ricketts]

why is timmy getting so much bench time?

[spursrocksocks]

MM should have shot that shit

[ricketts]

bonner in for elson now.

[loveforthegame]

It's going to be tough with Ginobli, Finley, and Udoka scoreless.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Is Manu still wearing the splint? His shot is WAY off.

As much as Cisco sucks, Oberto is now coming on strong, playing very well recently.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol double DRIBBLE on ELSON

[ClingingMars]

roger mason jr. repping the Hoos!

-Mars

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jamison is the ultimate garbage player. He can't create, but he does all the other stuff well.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

This game sucks

[dbreiden83080]

Elson just played maybe 5 of the most unproductive minutes in the history of the NBA.

[TMTTRIO]

I don't know what's up with Manu. He's stopped driving to the hoop too lately. All he does is shoot bad jumpers lately.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I wish we could swap Elson for Blatch!

[twincam]

Yes, Elson is a LIABILITY guy simply stinks!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Elson just played maybe 5 of the most unproductive minutes in the history of the NBA.

:lol

Sad but true.

[carina_gino20]

Is Manu still wearing the splint? His shot is WAY off.

As much as Cisco sucks, Oberto is now coming on strong, playing very well recently.

I think he ditched that four games ago.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yes, Elson is a RELIABILITY...the guy simply stinks!

?

You mean a LIABILITY.

Reliable is the opposite! :lol

[spursrocksocks]

Timmah

[Spurs Brazil]

TD scores

Spurs up 28-26

[twincam]

?

You mean a LIABILITY.

Reliable is the opposite! :lol

fixed

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I think he ditched that four games ago.

BRing it back! :lol

[spursrocksocks]

manuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[ricketts]

there he goes. Manu drive the lane on the O board. and fab picks up a block on the other end.

[WalterBenitez]

how are we doing? playing good?

[td4mvp21]

You know, it would be fucking great if our shooters started hitting their shots.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley is ice cold

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Strange game.

I have a feeling Manu will explode in the third.

[loveforthegame]

Ginobli 1-4
Finley, Udoka 0-3 each

[ClingingMars]

embarrassing...wizards defense sucks balls

-Mars

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

That PHoenix game really elevated Vaughn's confidence.

[ricketts]

what was the call on elson? traveling?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Home-grown tomatoes on toast for lunch... mmmmmmmmm! :D

[Spurs Brazil]

Small ball

[Louie Vega]

There seem to be alot of Spurs fans when they travel east. Just judging by the noise in the arena when the Spurs make a big play.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

how are we doing? playing good?

No great but not awful - SCRAPPY.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD!!!!!, 9pts

Spurs up 2

[T Park]

Lucky Butler aint playing, or else the Spurs would be trailing by about 8.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuce

Spurs up 2

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Ginobili rebound lying on his back

[Spurs Brazil]

TD!!!!!!!!

Spurs up one at the half

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

AWESOME 1-handed Timmy-tip to finish the half! :)

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Finley to Duncan!

[loveforthegame]

Well, that was ugly. I'm amazed we have the lead.

You have to believe that Ginobli, Finley, or Udoka will start hitting some shots in the 2nd half.

[Newton]

Good announcers. I hate homers, SA or otherwise.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Lucky Butler aint playing, or else the Spurs would be trailing by about 8.

Not necessarily. it's a scrappy game, and his replacement Blatch has been good.

[Louie Vega]

Seems like the Spurs are feeding off the crowd!!

[T Park]

Nice feed from Fin to Duncan on the last shot.

Defense is good, Stevenson's three was just a sudden stand still three.

Fin and Stoudamire aren't hittin like last night, but we shall see how second half goes.

Ginobili with a horrible half only 2 points..

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Nice feed from Fin to Duncan on the last shot.

Defense is good, Stevenson's three was just a sudden stand still three.

Fin and Stoudamire aren't hittin like last night, but we shall see how second half goes.

Ginobili with a horrible half only 2 points..
Not that horrible, he has 5 Assists

but yeah, he needs to get his offense going, otherwise it'll be a close game

[T Park]

Not necessarily. it's a scrappy game, and his replacement Blatch has been good.

Butler is a stud all star. He would've dropped prob 12 and they would be winning.

Blatche is more of a bigman though than Butler.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Good announcers. I hate homers, SA or otherwise.
Yeah, I like it when announcers can enjoy the game from both teams.

[T Park]

I'd still rather listen to Sean Elliott.

Sue me for wanting to hear it from the hometown viewpoint.

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto with 6pts 8rebs at the half

[T Park]

Yeah Oberto has had back to back good nights now.

I think he had a pretty good night against Phoenix too even though the stats didn't show it.

[objective]

Elson is a disaster.

That's all I have to add to this discussion without having read any of the topic.

[ricketts]

I'd still rather listen to Sean Elliott.

Sue me for wanting to hear it from the hometown viewpoint.


ditto :toast

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I'd still rather listen to Sean Elliott.

Sue me for wanting to hear it from the hometown viewpoint.
It's hard to dislike OUR homers...

it's a good remedy from having to put up with the really bad homer announcers of other teams.

[T Park]

Manutim

Our homers will homer about the Spurs, but they won't tear down the other team doing it.

IMO at least.

Thats how a hometown broadcast should be cast.

Yeah be a homer for your team, but down lie or tear down the other team.

Like Elliott. He will be a Spur homer, but he won't give lies or not acknowledge a good effort from the other team as well.

[dbreiden83080]

Come on Spurs, gotta hit our open jump shots in this half.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Stoudamire is 2-4, it's Finley who is 0-4. MM is playing just fine.

[T Park]

Yeah Damon just missed those layups he shoulda hit.

For what he will be when Parker comes back, Stoudamire is gonna be just friggen fine.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This from the ESPN story on the Shaq trade:

"Phoenix gambled he will be healthy and more motivated when he moves to the desert."

Damn right they did, and what a STUPID gamble. Shaq is a spent force.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Some one please tell me when the game is about to begin again. Thanks. :)

[remingtonbo2001]

It started

[Radiosparks]

The broadcasters here in D.C. is no different than the Spurs hometown crew.

[ClingingMars]

both teams cold

-Mars

[ClingingMars]

oberto looked like TD there

-Mars

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice job Oberto

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oberto continues his 3-game resurgence...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It started

Thanks! :oops

[Radiosparks]

Nice D!

[T Park]

I still stand by Oberto should have more plays run for him on the offensive end. hes shown he has a bit of a low post game.

Ginobili needs to pull his head out of his ass and drive to the mfing hole.

Come on Manu wake up.

[ClingingMars]

jesus bowen you were wide open

-Mars

[T Park]

Thats prob the first time I've had to give a weird look and say "Wtf Damon"

Prob not the last.

[T Park]

GO TO THE FRIGGEN HOLE MANU COME ON.

God I hate it when he goes into puss mode.

[td4mvp21]

I wish Ginobili would quit shooting jumpers, get back to his strength, and drive the fucking ball.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu, STOP SHOOTING! It's not there tonight. GO TO THE RACK.

[Spurs Brazil]

We can't make a shot

[boutons_]

Spurs shittily swapping baskets with these lottery jokers.

[loveforthegame]

Ginobli is doing fine on rebounds and assists but we desperately need his scoring right now.

[T Park]

God this is a Spurs Suns esque game here :lol

[remingtonbo2001]

I've been watching the game, but wtf is up with Elson. He sports a beard the entire season, then when the rest of the team grows their RRT Beards, he shaves his.
It seems like he is playing for himself tonight. He gets in the way. I love his athleticism, but it's time for Elson to go. I think he's been told he's getting traded.

[ThomasGranger]

First team to 70 wins

[Radiosparks]

Nice pass by Manu! WOW!

[boutons_]

25% on 3Gs, Spurs gonna lose.

[remingtonbo2001]

What a pass

[spursrocksocks]

nice pass manu/fab

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:lmao @ weak arsed Wiz fans behind the basket.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu could become a PG when his athleticism declines.

[loveforthegame]

Missed ft's could be a factor if this game is close.

[spursrocksocks]

fuckin blatch

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn

[remingtonbo2001]

Blantch is impressing me.

[dbreiden83080]

Someone put the Ball in the fucking hoop please.

[loveforthegame]

People ragging on Finley's cold shooting how about Udoka? He's got a couple turnovers too.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Time to get dirty and go to the rack. Jumpers aren't falling tonight. I reckon those Wizards rims are very stiff...

[Ice009]

Hey guys.

Spurs back to playing rubbish ball. FUCK. UNACCEPTABLE.

[duncan228]

They can do this.
Grind it out, crank up the defense.
Take care of the ball.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I don't care about good games.

I want the Spurs to be boring and lead by 10-12 in every game and quarter from now on.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

People ragging on Finley's cold shooting how about Udoka? He's got a couple turnovers too.

Udoka, Finley, Bowen Ginobili all under 33%.

I have Blatch on my fantasy team right now - he's an all-court hustler, would love him as a Spur.

[td4mvp21]

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT, make your fucking threes. Our shooters FUCKING SUCK

[Spurs Brazil]

Another miss

Drive the ball
