Spurs @ Knicks Feb. 8 - Game Blog

[BonnerDynasty]

I've never seen both teams walk into the locker room side by side at the same time like that

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'll see you there!

Done! :)

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

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

:clap nicely done :toast

[SAtown]

Chris Childs is a BITCH

[spurscenter]

MALIK ROSE for FRANCISCO ELSON

[T Park]

Oh

a screw you from Michael Finley to Malik Rose BTW.

[remingtonbo2001]

Now it's time to sort through all the FINLEY and HORRY BANDWAGON THREADS.

[loveforthegame]

We owe Finley a big thank you tonight. No 3 no OT.

Good to see Ginobli ice those ft's late in the game.

Horry, welcome back big shot.

Duncan worked harder in the 2nd half as well.

Good game by Oberto. Solid.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The Knicks are BRAINDEAD... and the Spurs are finding their identity.

Good times! :toast

[T Park]

Now it's time to sort through all the FINLEY and HORRY BANDWAGON THREADS.


I got plenty of room up here for em :)

true. 6 turnovers, and 6-16 from the field, 1-6 from three, but he delivered great today. 9 assists too, just one shy of his career-high. :toast

:lol I know

I thought at best he'd have SIX by this his O game has been lately. :lmao

[Dex]

I've never seen both teams walk into the locker room side by side at the same time like that

I was thinking the same thing.

Seems like that could be a recipe for disaster after some games.

[WildcardManu]

to all the Horry and Finley homers who wanted to trade them

[Warlord23]

44 minutes for Duncan and 42 for Manu, the only downside of the night

[Yuixafun]

The Spurs should be taken to task by Pop for letting the Knicks make it a game but good job of keeping their poise and clamping down at the end. Need to cut down on the damn turnovers.

[SAtown]

Seems like that could be a recipe for disaster after some games.

Pacers @ Knicks

Heat @ Knicks

Nuggets @ Knicks

[spurscenter]

and ISIAH IS STILL HEAD COACH

I love this game!

[milkyway21]

Fuck.

I work all day on sunday

:( :( :(me too! But I have to take a 1 day leave.

I want to see how the Spurs fare against KG!!!(will he play?)

I this the time of the decade when the Celtics finally beat Duncan's Spurs?

[Don Quixote]

In truth, I feel bad for the good people of Noo Yawk and Knicks fans. NY is one of the few cities where basketball matters, and the Knicks have some of most passionate and knowledgeable fans around. To see a franchise treat its fans like they've been treated is a tragedy.

Good game by the Knicks players, but in the end, the champs prevailed.

[Pride]

Sometimes I believe the spurs are just doing this on purpose. How many close have have the Spurs been in?

[Yuixafun]

Spurs Celtics Final would be rife with story lines. Make it happen.

[mVp]

Great win.

Crazy numbers by Manu!

Nice to see Horry playing good basketball again... and what can I say about Finley? I think I love him :lol

[T Park]

If the Knicks had a different coach, they would be a damn good team.

I love Balkman and Lee.

Crawford is a clutch tough shooting mofo.

The problem if I was a Knicks fan, that I would have.

Is in OT, they seem to give up after going down 7.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

44 minutes for Duncan and 42 for Manu, the only downside of the night
That's why we need to start blowing out teams soon, during the regular season

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Ricketts, may i remain?

[Yuixafun]

It had to be deflating to them when the Spurs came back, and that Finley three took their fight from them.

[SpursFanFirst]

is anyone keeping an eye on this Boston game? They're currently losing to MN

[vanvannen]

Gutsy win by the Spurs. They should have never been in that position to begin with, but they pulled out a nice win anyway.

[Don Quixote]

Pacers @ Knicks

Heat @ Knicks

Nuggets @ Knicks

The NBA ... where on-court brawls, involving the fans, happens.

[Yuixafun]

If the Knicks had a different coach, they would be a damn good team.

I love Balkman and Lee.

Crawford is a clutch tough shooting mofo.



Didn't Isiah draft Balkman and Lee, and trade for Crawford?

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

good call SFF, boston bout to lose

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I'd rather Tim and Manu play sub-par this game, than on Sunday...

Can't wait for Boston :clap

[Yuixafun]

I want tickets to the Celtics game when they come to town in March.

[T Park]

Didn't Isiah draft Balkman and Lee, and trade for Crawford?

Hell of a scout and draft guy.

Shit coach and GM.

[ricketts]

Ricketts, may i remain?


you are invited to stay indefinelty :toast

[milkyway21]

Spurs Celtics Final would be rife with story lines. Make it happen.both on B2B.

Spurs struggled against the Knicks. Celtics against Minny?- tied @ 86 27 min left in regulation.

KG not playing
TP not playing

[Dex]

Man, what a good all around game.

Big Shot Rob sighting.

Gutsy comeback.

Another gutsy comeback.

Clutch 3 by Fin for overtime.

Spurs completely knock the wind outta their sails in overtime.

See Isiah pwn his own team.

Who says Knicks games are boring? :smokin

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Boston getting a taste of playing with a target on your back. And they're not even the champs!

[SpursFanFirst]

good call SFF, boston bout to lose

It's on ESPN

[Yuixafun]

Hell of a scout and draft guy.

Shit coach and GM.

sho'nuff

[Radiosparks]

It should be an interesting game on Sunday. If Horry and Finley can continue to hit their shots, the Spurs will be just fine.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

damn what a sequence in Minn.

[SAtown]

good call SFF, boston bout to lose

JINX :pctoss

[SpursFanFirst]

end of game...Boston won. :(

[703 Spurz]

me too! But I have to take a 1 day leave.

Happened on St Patty's Day last year :dizzy

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

whew, didnt wanna be that guy, thanks. good job spurs. heart of a champion.

[Radiosparks]

I was thinking the same thing.

[SpursFanFirst]

I turned it over to hear the announcers saying what sounded like Boston fouled MN, but it wasn't called. Is that correct?

[ricketts]

boston beat min 88-86 unless yahoo is wrong, and we all know that happens

[milkyway21]

we need to rebound more against Celtics. That's why they are struggling against MN. Offensive rbds -15? 4 OR from Al Jeff

[bostonguy]

Celtics without KG=average yet competitive team. As much as I would love for KG to play, sit his ass out till he his truly good to go. This team can manage with Pierce and Allen and a very underrated supporting cast. This stretch has shown Boston is more than the big 3. Either way KG or no KG they will play the Spurs tough at home.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

JINX :pctoss

yeah, sorry bout that

[Dex]

I blame you guys for that Celtics win.

[Dex]

Holy shit, I'm the page starter tonight.

[SpursFanFirst]

keep an eye on that Phoenix game as well.

Now wait, they are either average, or they are more than the big 3 make up your mind :lol

[T Park]

Whos phoenix doinkin tonight?

[T Park]

Hows the Grizzlies Mavericks game goin?

[SpursFanFirst]

Phoenix is playing Seattle

[ricketts]

I cant wait til sunday.

[SpursFanFirst]

dallas up by 22 over Memphis

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

I was thinking the same thing.

its definately a dynamic in the NBA. Boston will be the most anticipated matchup for SA, lets do it.

PS- thanks to everyone that helped me catch up on what i missed the last ten days :toast

We have good bench players but they cant replace the rebounding, versatility, and scoring that KG brings. Yes I say this is Pierces team but the Celtics will do nothing in the playoffs if our big 3 arent healthy. We arent losing every game or playing with no heart due to him being out regardless of where we go. That makes me happy to see them have that attitude. Hell the Celtics havent been blown out once this season. Every game they lost was competitive.

[Yuixafun]

You know Garnett will play Sunday if he's close to ready.

Him and TD are arch nemsisisz.

And Timmy will always be the one that got away to Boston fans.

Should be a great game. I know Boston wants it more.

[boutons_]

Spurs shot 3G 50%, win.

[Solid D]

Once again....a tale of 2 halves. It's a real concern, but wow what an amazing game that was tonight. The Spurs' effort, iron will and execution after halftime was championship caliber all the way.

By the way, did Ken Mauer have money on the Knicks tonight? :smokin

The second half was the epitome of "pounding the rock"

:lol

He isn't from New York?

[bostonguy]

you won...:D


As did the Spurs. That is one team I literally cant hate. I know they had the #1 pick and got Duncan while we got Billups (who sucked at the time) and that piece of shit Ron Mercer but that is what the lottery is about... probability but unpredictable. They are too god damn classy especially Pop. I wanted Duncan sooo bad. I loved watching him in college and I knew especially after his first year, he was going to turn that franchise around. I would walk around downtown Boston wearing all Giants gear (and risk getting my ass beat) if it meant Duncan being a Celt. :)

[Yuixafun]

That's why I want a Spurs/Celtics final. The interest would be huge, one of the most revered franchices against the new dynasty. And with KG it would be at the least an extremely hard fought affair.

I've seen him play live a few times and I don't really care for his bravado, but the man is passionate.

I wonder how he would be if you told him he only needed to win 4 games to be a world Champion. He would work himself into such a frenzy, and it seems his teamates in Boston respond well to that.

[bigfan]

Bottom line for me is Id rather have us play shitty in the first half than in the second half (or overtime). Tim and Manu are playing too many minutes and I put that down to crap play by Bonner and Elson. Everyone else is doing fine.

KG is almost a carbon copy of TD, defensively and offensively. I don't mind Boston winning a ring if we can't make it in the 2008 finals. Let's keep on cheering for our teams, who knows we'll meet in June.

Not true. KG and Duncan are both fantastic power forwards, but they are the inverse of each other.

KG is versatile, but he likes to play outside in.

TD is dominant and will mix it up on the block.

That is why I would always take TD over KG.

I don't care if my big man can run the point. I want him down on the block punishing the other teams bigs.

[bostonguy]

Duncan>>>>>>>KG. I love KG but he isnt the type of player to take the Tim Duncan role. KG isnt that type of player. The main ultimate leader of our big 3 is Paul Pierce.

[Yuixafun]

Yup. I can't imagine a team with Tim Duncan healthy ever missing the playoffs. KG only been out of the first round once, not to mention failing to make it his last 2 years in Minni.

Only problem with Pierce is he can sometimes get sucked into that mano y mano mode. I'm glad he's having fun playing basketball again though. He was in dark place for a couple years.
