Spurs @ Knicks Feb. 8 - Game Blog

[remingtonbo2001]

What are we gonna do.

[themvp]

Big Shot Rob time.

[ducks]

give it to horry

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bugger.

[BonnerDynasty]

Horry should take the 3.

Or use this as another way to test Bonner!!!!!!!!!!!





haha

[loveforthegame]

Horry and Finley have had the hot hand hitting 3's but I got a feeling Pop draws it up for Ginobli.

[remingtonbo2001]

Draw one up for Big shot Rob.

:tu

[ricketts]

help us Horry one Kinobi, you're our only hope

[Yuixafun]

Yea Horry, please not Bowen.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

horry will be used as a decoy

ginobili with the quick two

is what will happen

[ClingingMars]

horry for the tie.

-Mars

[Tek_XX]

Dude its a game.

Lose the homophobic bs.

Ha you're gay.

[ricketts]

for gods sake, wat thwe score????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!


83-86 knicks

[T Park]

Horry is in a playoff big shot mood tonight.

Put him in.

Put in Udoka.

Put in Fin

Put in Stoudamire.

[T Park]

IM TELLIN YA

me and pop :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Everyone will be thinking Horry/Manu - I bet it's Fin or Udoka

[ducks]

horry is coming in atleast

[remingtonbo2001]

Well Done.

[BonnerDynasty]

Well Done.

[Tek_XX]

Hmm i wonder if that was well done?

[T Park]

Yes!!

Blankman To The Line!!!

[ClingingMars]

come on MISS ONE

-Mars

[loveforthegame]

Went for the two?

[ClingingMars]

39 %...come on odds

-Mars

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Balkman misses one, Rob FTW

[himat]

Smart play a 3 would be good, but not necessary.

[ducks]

about time duncan makes a layup

[remingtonbo2001]

HE MAKES IT NOW....You shoot 39% and you make it now.

[Tek_XX]

Looks like it wasn't that well done.

[Yuixafun]

wtf he makes them both

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Randolph is a MORON. So many mental mistakes from him...

[BonnerDynasty]

Not So Well Done.

[debo]

of course he shoots them like he's done it all his life

[T Park]

a 39% FT shooter makes both.

fuckin eh.

[gospursgojas]

of course he hits them both

[ClingingMars]

WHAT THE FUCK THE GUY SHOOTS 39% FOR THE FUCKING YEAR AND MAKES BOTH??? WHAT THE FUCK

-Mars

[himat]

Now you should go for a quick 3 so that there is a chance for an o. board.

[milkyway21]

why Pop chose to sit Horry when he was hot? I just don't get it :oops

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Get me some Balkman. He'd be a good Spur.

[loveforthegame]

Too bad that didn't work.

NY missing ft's all night long and then develop ice in the veins when it matters.

[remingtonbo2001]

Im waiting for the Knicks to mess it up, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen tonight. Hmmm...Maybe this will take us back under the radar. :)

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

We're going to lose.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

for fuck's sake

we're gonna lose to the knicks?

christ

[Yuixafun]

I think Horry was gassed. When they flashed to him during a time out sweat was streaming from his pores.

[ducks]

[JohnnySixString]

WHAT THE FUCK THE GUY SHOOTS 39% FOR THE FUCKING YEAR AND MAKES BOTH??? WHAT THE FUCK

-Mars


The Spurs have a way of making a turd look like gold. The Knicks are that turd tonight.

[remingtonbo2001]

Terrible OFFICIATING.

[BonnerDynasty]

lmao Finley. Good try.

[loveforthegame]

Might draw it for someone like Stoudamire or Udoka. They'll be covering Horry and Finley.

[Yuixafun]

LOL Finley tried to flick that wrist

[Dex]

Quick, sneak Bonner in!

[Tek_XX]

Isaiha has always been a fake ass bitch

[ricketts]

refs help the knicks to win

[BonnerDynasty]

Manu says I'm taking this shit Pop.


Hold my gatorade.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

stop whining Fin, that was before you got to shoot

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Finley was shooting that, and Mauer had a good look at it.

[ClingingMars]

wtf no horry?

-Mars

[debo]

[Radiosparks]

[debo]

OT. LETS DO THIS :ihit :ihit :ihit

[spurscenter]

0.04

[Dex]

ok, Finley for 3. I dont mind being wrong. :smokin

More basketball.

[Spurs Brazil]

Ot

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The Knicks are a bunch of morons - how you leave any 3 shooter open to collapse on a driving guy is beyond sense to me... :rolleyes

[gospursgojas]

:lol @ .4

[T Park]

Another guy thats got nothin left :)

[ClingingMars]

OVERTIMEEEE

-Mars

[BonnerDynasty]

Finley forgive me. I haven't talked shit about you since the last game you won for us but props to you for tonight.

[boutons_]

I hate it when the Spurs escape from defeat like this. really hate it

Now we got OT

[Don Quixote]

What just happened?

I'm listening to WOAI here in New Orleans -- the signal is very weak. I take it Fin hit a 3 to tie it with 0.4 left.

I guess right now's a bad time to mention 0.4?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Pop was having PTSD from 0.4

[loveforthegame]

Spurs need to take care of business in OT.

[ClingingMars]

Horry hits a game-winning 3 as time expires in OT.

eh?

-Mars

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

What happened to POP's fail safe play the set up three for BONNER??? where was that play?

[T Park]

Where the finley haters?

(cups ear)

*silence*

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

what a game, im stoked :clap

[JohnnySixString]

Wow, that was a hell of a lot of luck I think. Let's see if the Spurs are going to take over and win......or if they'll keep making the Knicks look like the better team.

[ducks]

horry should have been given the ball even though mike made it

[Dex]

Okay, still 5 minutes to play here.

[WalterBenitez]

The Knicks are a bunch of morons - how you leave any 3 shooter open to collapse on a driving guy is beyond sense to me... :rolleyes

I s i a h?

[milkyway21]

Horry & Finley are 2 of the Spurs who are not afraid to take risks...shld be on crucial minutes of the game.

we are going OVERTIME, people!!!

MAKE IT HAPPEN: WIN THIS ONE[B]

[ClingingMars]

timmyyyyy

-Mars

[SAtown]

Duncan with the nice hook

[remingtonbo2001]

Start grabbin those boards.

[ThomasGranger]

Spur got this. NO way they come back from the dead to blow it in OT.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Go Spurs Go!!!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

F' balkman

[T Park]

If they win this game, this is one of those games you point at to show a turnaround.

[debo]

c'mon manu

[ClingingMars]

bury 'em

-Mars

[debo]

thats better

[Don Quixote]

I'm shocked the Knicks had Balkman, at 39% FT, in the game with :20 to go. Then again, we're talking Isiah here, so I shouldn't be. And he made em both!

I don't know about you all, but I love a tense, hard-fought game.

[Yuixafun]

We should have this in OT easy, time to tap into the Spurs Championship poise.

[Cherry]

Overtime? wow :elephant

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

manu all by himself!!!

[ClingingMars]

manu DUNK THAT SHIT

-Mars

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fab's been very good.

[SAtown]

Good drive by Manu. 2nd time's the charm

[BonnerDynasty]

What happened to POP's fail safe play the set up three for BONNER??? where was that play?

Saving that for the playoffs :drunk

[T Park]

fuck manu top hand that shit.

[tony09manu]

Mannnnnnnnnuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!

[ThomasGranger]

If they win this game, this is one of those games you point at to show a turnaround.

Yeah, but which direction?

[ClingingMars]

GINOBILIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

TO KNICKERBOCKERS

-Mars

[ducks]

[T Park]

[milkyway21]

Another guy thats got nothin left :) :lmao

I'm worried those Argentinians are in foul trouble already-5 fouls@

[ricketts]

what a game, im stoked :clap


If it stays this exciting you can stay in Texas.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

HOrry should have been in as a decoy at least.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Are we doing a good job of making artest think he can help us er what

[T Park]

Yeah, but which direction?

Down 20, things going bad and you win?

Uh Id say good.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Seattle WAS the low point of the season.

This is a different team now. They are really coming together and finding the grit that makes them winners. Even if Fnley missed that shot I would've said the same.

They are regaining their MENTAL TOUGHNESS.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Finally, we're up IN OT , when's the last time that's happened??

Keep it up Spurs

[remingtonbo2001]

We got the stop lets get a basket

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

come on guys, i hate Stankville

[debo]

finley YOU ARE A BEAST!

[loveforthegame]

What's the lineup?

[ClingingMars]

defense has picked up in OT

-Mars

[SAtown]

FInDOG BITCHES. :greedy

[Yuixafun]

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley 333333333333333333333333333333333

[loveforthegame]

Finley refuses to lose tonight. Oh my god.

[SAtown]

What's the lineup?

Manu, Manu, Manu, Manu, Finley

[Yuixafun]

Manu getting his hands on everything in Ot

[BonnerDynasty]

Finley doesn't want to get traded.

[ClingingMars]

time for the dagger

-Mars

[ducks]

pu in horry

[T Park]

Finley 5 of 6.

hes washed up and got nothing left though.

[Dex]

Thanks again, Dallas.

Michael Finley is the shit.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Man, if Manu's shooting game hadn't been off lately, he'd be having a stellar game

7 boards, 9 assists, 5 steals

[milkyway21]

the way I sense it, the Knicks seems the ones who are fighting for their lives in the OT, not the Spurs!!! :lmao

Finley 3, you didn't disappoint me again:clap

[BonnerDynasty]

It must be Senior night in New York.

[ThomasGranger]

Fin having flashbacks of playoffs against Denver

[ducks]

is pop showboating mike to be traded?

[Cherry]

Finley & Manu :toast

[T Park]

Manu, Manu, Manu, Manu, Finley

Finley Finley Finley Manu Manu :)

[debo]

Thanks again, Dallas.

is dallas still paying him to help us win?

[T Park]

This team is back.

They lose this game before the win in Phoenix.

[SAtown]

Finley Finley Finley Manu Manu :)

I'll take it

[loveforthegame]

is pop showboating mike to be traded?

I don't think so. He's only played 24 minutes tonight.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Finley is on Fire. I'm glad Horry and Fin are bringing our Spurs 3 ball back...

Bowen, better show up on Sunday

[milkyway21]

whoa, 674 post against the Knicks? :lmao

[remingtonbo2001]

Monster Board Tim.

[ClingingMars]

TAKE CARE OF THE BASKETBALL

-Mars

[gospursgojas]

This team is back.

They lose this game before the win in Phoenix.


AGREED

[SAtown]

:wtf

[milkyway21]

KNICKS - 0 so far, in OT

dagger in the Heart!

[gospursgojas]

Its nice to have the shut down D Spurs back

[remingtonbo2001]

:lmao Fabbs...What was that?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

All I'll say is you can be down 20 at the half to certain teams and still win, especially if the bounce of the ball is not going your way.

The KNICKS are one of those teams!

Now single figures.

Back on page 10 I said this...

Please take note.

:D

[Radiosparks]

Nice D!

[ClingingMars]

a 25 sec violation is the only acceptable TO in this situation

-Mars

[T Park]

I agree pop.

Shoot that Timmy dont be so unselfish.

[SAtown]

Vbookie damnit :pctoss

[WildcardManu]

Hope Knicks go scoreless in OT, that should show them not to step up to the champs

[ClingingMars]

lol, knicks

-Mars

[debo]

hay hay hay, those turnover

[Yuixafun]

Good to have Horry and Finley back but Bowen seems off kilter.

[loveforthegame]

Only 2 rebounds for Finley but they came in the OT. Good to see.

[T Park]

Ginobili is gassed.

They are all gassed.

God bless Michael Finley tonight.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Seattle WAS the low point of the season.

This is a different team now. They are really coming together and finding the grit that makes them winners. Even if Fnley missed that shot I would've said the same.

They are regaining their MENTAL TOUGHNESS.

Also note this.

[ClingingMars]

oh dear...

-Mars

[boutons_]

wow, 2 consecutive brain-dead posssessions

[WildcardManu]

jinxed them

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

good win, good win

[JohnnySixString]

GODDAMMIT.....it's like they are TRYING to let the Knicks back in it.

[T Park]

Fuck you Clyde Frazier.

Bowen is twice the defender you were.

[ducks]

29.5 SA - Shooting foul on B. Bowen
:29.5 NY - J. Crawford made a 12-foot jumper in the lane
:34.2 SA - Bad pass by M. Ginobili

1:31 NY - Z. Randolph missed a 5-foot jumper in the lane
1:49 NY - D. Lee steals the ball from M. Ginobili
2:06 SA - T. Duncan offensive rebound

manu turnover machine

[Jobbs]

i've been watching the whole game and to come out of MSG with a win after that first half is a gift

[Ice009]

Silly stuff. NO THREE POINT PLAYS.

[remingtonbo2001]

Back on page 10 I said this...

Please take note.

:D

Sign of a true fan.

[SAtown]

5/6 from downtown for Finley

[milkyway21]

wow Manu not scoring much some TO but still an impressive stats

16 pts, 7 rbds, 8 assts

[Warlord23]

Is it just me or is that sweeping pass of the pick-n-roll by Manu misdirected/picked off/ deflected like 50% of the time? Pop needs to bench his ass whenever he pulls that shit. His ball handling is frustrating to watch sometimes

[Dex]

is dallas still paying him to help us win?

Yeah, I think this is the last season. They owed him 51 million over three after they waived him in '05.

[remingtonbo2001]

4-2...Let's go into Boston and give'em a fight.

[ClingingMars]

http://knicksmss.ytmnd.com/

-Mars

[gospursgojas]

how many total pts for fin??????

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sign of a true fan.

You better believe it, baby. :D

I've been to SA twice to see them play live from the other side of the world (2003, 2007), and if they make the Finals I'll be back again this year. :tu

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

FUCK OFF NYC, you're city sucks !!!!

[SpursFanFirst]

2 more points, and it'll be a vBookie win...will it work?

[carina_gino20]

spurs win. :spin that was fun

[debo]

Win Already Dammit

[SpursFanFirst]

:( nevermind.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Gritty win. The team is finding itself.

[T Park]

This will be the longest friggen 18 seconds of the season.

[remingtonbo2001]

You better believe it, baby. :D

I've been to SA twice to see them play live from the other side of the world (2003, 2007), and if they make the Finals I'll be back again this year. :tu

I'll see you there!

[loveforthegame]

Ginobli missed ft's early on but he's nailing them now when it counts.

[T Park]

How the fuck does Ginobili have 20 points :lmao

[ricketts]

stop the knicks, another finley buzzer beater and i win Vbookie.

[ClingingMars]

more reasons to hate Isaiah

-Mars

[milkyway21]

BOSTON you're next!!!!!!!

[remingtonbo2001]

How the fuck does Ginobili have 20 points :lmao


Freethrows....And I thought Timmy was a quiet scorer.

[gospursgojas]

I don't care if its to the Knicks the spurs are showing the grittiness that they've always had to close out games

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Just keep putting Manu on the line and I'm cool.

[WalterBenitez]

are we gonna win or what?

[theroc5]

we really showed some heart tonight and besides maybe two plays we had an awesome OT...on offense and defense

[WildcardManu]

good win

[T Park]

This is a great confidence boosting game to go into Boston with.

Short 30 minute flight get there not too bad to the hotel tonight.

[Dex]

How the fuck does Ginobili have 20 points :lmao

I'm pretty sure somewhere between driving, shooting, stealing, rebounding, dishing, hustling, and being a general badass, he finds time to sneak over to the scorer's table and pencil a few in.

[SAtown]

WIN :elephant

[debo]

finally...

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

V-bookie victory !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[T Park]

Game

Ovah.


BOOOOOOOOOOOO
:lmao

[remingtonbo2001]

Good Game Guys.

[ricketts]

shit yeah, i'll take it.

[RashoFan]

I think the boston game should be good!!!

[gospursgojas]

BOSTON you're next!!!!!!!


Fuck.

I work all day on sunday

:( :( :(

[Don Quixote]

IF we hold on ... another great win. Like the Phoenix game, the Silver & Black hung in there when it looked like the game was lost. This is the distinguishing feature of a champion.

[WildcardManu]

Never doubt the Spurs and what they're capable of..

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Fire Isiah. Knicks are losers. The team gave up with 7 points and a whole fucking 2 minutes left
