Spurs @ Cavs Feb. 13 - Game Blog

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

wow

[duncan228]

Keep it close, crank up the defense, grind it out.
They can do this.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Hughes with the BS banked 3. :rolleyes

Announcers loved it, unsurprisingly.
he overshot his last one, air ball. he did it again and got saved by the bank :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Where's the "rate the announcers" thread? I need to give these guys a rating... -4/10

[Mister Sinister]

God, this sucks.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Keep it close, crank up the defense, grind it out.
They can do this.
with a hot hughes they're only up 4

[T Park]

If Duncan and everyone wasn't so tired I'd say the Spurs win this.

THey just don't have anything out there. THey are clearly gassed.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

what happened with the ball? tech on pop? f that, did anyone see Z kickin towels earlier, anyone?!?!?!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I predict it's close to the end but we lose it because the gas tank is empty. If we gut out a win, that'll be a true show of character.

[Spurs Brazil]

T on Horry after the end of the 3rd

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Where's the "rate the announcers" thread? I need to give these guys a rating... -4/10
:lol

they get a - 10 after they want on and on about the Spurs being WHINERS in the finals, as if it were unbiased FACT.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

If Duncan and everyone wasn't so tired I'd say the Spurs win this.

THey just don't have anything out there. THey are clearly gassed.

We are saying EXACTLY the same things today, T Park. Time to bury the hatchet. :lol

[loveforthegame]

Have to give the Cavs credit for responding to the few runs the Spurs have made. Hopefully the good guys have enough left in the tank to pull out another win.

[T Park]

We are saying EXACTLY the same things today, T Park. Time to bury the hatchet. :lol


I never saw a reason for there to be a hatchet :)

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:lol

they get a - 10 after they want on and on about the Spurs being WHINERS in the finals, as if it were unbiased FACT.

:tu

Actually, -10 is being kind.

Let's just go with:

[duncan228]

"San Antonio Spurs with that Championship resolve."
It sounded like it hurt him to say it.

[loveforthegame]

Ginobli is God. I don't want to know what the score would be without him.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Shagia - :lol

Manu is a GOD. He has the best step-back J in the league by far. You know how difficult the step-back is, especially from 3??? OMG.

[spyder]

Ginobili is the shit!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

What's up with those mid-range Jumpers he's making in the last two games ???

[urunobili]

will he EVER get the player of the week this year? if he didn;t get it after the back to back 37's i don;t think so...

[Mister Sinister]

"San Antonio Spurs with that Championship resolve."
It sounded like it hurt him to say it.
Actually sounded to me like he died a little inside.

[chaco]

trade manu .... :lol :lol

[Mister Sinister]

Shagia - :lol

Manu is a GOD. He has the best step-back J in the league by far. You know how difficult the step-back is, especially from 3??? OMG.

Cavs announcers are worse than the Lakers, and that's saying something...

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim is here for the 4th. he wants the win.

[Spurs Brazil]

[boutons_]

Spurs get over the hump, but can't hold the lead

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Freakin Marshall. :rolleyes

[td4mvp21]

[Mister Sinister]

I want Manu slightly less than I want Clive Owen. And I WANT Clive Owen.

[Admidave50]

Oh my, Spurs are on fire in this quarter shooting 11/14 FGs and 6/7 3s

[spyder]

Holy crap..Manu Manu Manu!!

[spursrocksocks]

Manu fucking Ginobili for president

[TMTTRIO]

Talk about an All Star Game :)

[td4mvp21]

Fucking Ginobili!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

"it's time to put him on his keister" - another quote from ASSCLOWN Carr. What a fuckwit. Yeah, hit him because he's playing too well for your team to contain.

:pctoss :devil

[BonnerDynasty]

They should have Barkley pop up at the bottom of the screen every time Manu hits a great shot!

[timvp]

Holy !@#$, Manu is on fire.

[vander]

OH...
MY...
God!!!

manu

[T Park]

Wow.

If they could hang on, this would be my favorite win of the year.

[Spurs Brazil]

Defense Now

[Mister Sinister]

They should have Barkley pop up at the bottom of the screen every time Manu hits a great shot!

I think Manu's pissed about not being an All-Star.

[SAtown]

Wow

[Mister Sinister]

Forty-FUCKIN-Two!
Hitchhike like a mo'fucker.

[tony09manu]

Wow.

[loveforthegame]

Ginobli is off the charts. Another assist for Finley.

[boutons_]

just incredible

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

"you have to put him on his can"

Carr yet again advocating violence.

[Otaku]

Manu 3 again!!

[duncan228]

The announcer gave it to Manu.
"In all my years of broadcasting it's the greatest display of outside shooting I have witnessed."

[boutons_]

+6 with 3 mins left

let's get some stops

[twincam]

I guess I missed out on a great 4th quarter....

[Admidave50]

whaaaaaaaat? Does Manu wants to reach the most 3pt in a game for the Spurs??!!

[SA Gunslinger]

Why can't Bonner shoot like that?

[LaMarcus Bryant]

If we lose this game then we should be mad for wasting so many ginobili PT minutes.

He is having an amazing game but my long term radar is going berserk with him playing this many minutes towards the end of the road trip.

[Fabbs]

Manu is tired, old, and balding.
:toast

[spyder]

Yet another one!

I think Manu's pissed about not being an All-Star.
Thats what i was thinking

[Mister Sinister]

Manu's going fucking Carnage on the Cavs.

[timvp]

Manunbelievable.

[nkdlunch]

ginobili!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Carr should NOT be allowed to broadcast.

He has advocated violence towards Manu 4 times now. What sort of example does that set??? "He's too good for you so you should cheat and hit him"

I HATE this mofo Carr. I'm gonna look dat ho up and beat his ass next time I'm in Cleveland... ;) :lol

[Tha Carter]

dang Manu is nuts

[Cherry]

Yet another one!

I think Manu's pissed about not being an All-Star.

not at all! he wants vacations :downspin:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That last 3 was 6ft outside the line too...

[SAtown]

8/11 3's :lmao

[BonnerDynasty]

Jesus Christ

15/20 fg
8/11 3pters

[Mister Sinister]

[ThomasGranger]

When they cheap shot Manu that only makes him play better.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

U of H's own Damon Jones everyone! Go Coogs!

[BonnerDynasty]

Lmmfao

ime!

[himat]

Manunbelievable.

That's lamer than what an Orlando fan once said.
:lol

J.J Redick hit a 3 on the Pistons, the Pistons were still winning, and he said Redikulous.

Either way Manu is owning though. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Ime

Spurs up 7

[T Park]

Udoka with 12

gotta be the jersey :smokin

[nkdlunch]

DAYUMM Manu is unconcious

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

C'mon Spurs, this is EASY. Off the double keep moving it to the open man.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuu

[Kobulingam]

We're finally seeing a healthy Manu. The same Manu that was a top10 player at the start of the season.

The finger messed up him in between.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

15/20, 8/11 3s.

OMG.

[BonnerDynasty]

He Fucking Blocked Lebron!!!!!!

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Way to beat the trap Ime!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We're finally seeing a healthy Manu. The same Manu that was a top10 player at the start of the season.

The finger messed up him in between.

Good call. It defeintely messed with his handles and his shooting.

[Mister Sinister]

Timmy!

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

2 more Tim to ice it. Nice.

[nkdlunch]

Meet The Champs Baby

[spursjustice]

Awesome!!!!

[T Park]

Wow.

The Spurs might win.

Un.

Real.

[Mister Sinister]

God DAMN, I love my Spurs!

[ricketts]

I get giddy when i think about TP and Barry coming back.

[BonnerDynasty]

After all this crazy shooting MANU is still playing defense.

Had a steal on lebron
Just stuffed the shit out of Lebron.

[SA Gunslinger]

Incredible. Jaw dropping. Amazing.

[Spurs Brazil]

YES

Great rodeo trip

6-3 without TP is fantastic

Thanks Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Gutty, gritty performance by the Spurs.

This team is getting there. They are on the path to perfection that usually starts during the rodeo trip. :tu

[spyder]

stick a fork in them..it's over

[Spurminator]

40 points in the 4th

[tony09manu]

My favorite game of the year :)

[T Park]

Ginobili 46 points 8 assists.

Wow.

yeah, hes not an all star and Brandon Roy is.

Screw you selection committee.

[timvp]

God Bless The Rodeo Road Trip.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The D still has a way to go, but they have really come together as a team on this trip, as we all hoped for.

:) :) :)

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Damon Jones! Three more for the knight elf mohawk. Go Coogs!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

6th man OTY - booked

[smeagol]

Gutty, gritty performance by the Spurs.

God Bless The Rodeo Road Trip.
God Bless Sweden! ...I mean Manu.

[marini martini]

Meet The Champs Baby

:toast

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

God Bless The Rodeo Road Trip.

Damn straight.

[101A]

Ginobili 46 points 8 assists.

Wow.

yeah, hes not an all star and Brandon Roy is.

Screw you selection committee.Manu has a week off.

God Bless you Selection Committee.

[ClingingMars]

40 points in the 4th

did i accidentally stumble into SunsTalk???

-Mars

[td4mvp21]

How did we fucking win this game?!?!? GINOBILI

6-3 fuckers!

[BonnerDynasty]

Ginobili 46 points 8 assists.

Wow.

yeah, hes not an all star and Brandon Roy is.

Screw you selection committee.

Yep. That's why we gotta repeat. It's the only way the Spurs will finally get the respect they deserve.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It is called SPAM, baby!

No, SPAM is yet to come. This is the pre-SPAM warm up! :lol

[T Park]

best win of the year.

BY FAR.

What a freakin gutty win.

[ricketts]

the only way that could have gotten better was if they all put on they're rings from last year when they walked off the court. nothing wrong with a little insult to injury.

:lol

[milkyway21]

Manu is HOT! :wow

Bowen too.

Tim + Manu = HOPE.

playing against the Cavs I just realized how I miss Tony Parker.

Spurs 112 pts? :D

Congrats Spurs! :toast

[spyder]

very good win..way to go Spurs!!

[twincam]

Holy Shit! Manu was simply perfect....just perfect.....

All the Kobes, Iversons, and Lebrons need to shoot 50 attempts and shoot 35 percent in order to equate the total in points vs. Manu!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu has a week off.

God Bless you Selection Committee.

:tu

Who cares about the AS Game? I wish Tim wasn't playing. It's just an NBA marketing tool after all... I don't even bother to watch it because it's not REAL basketball, it's more like the Harlem Globetrotters.

I want to see Manu make an All-NBA team (3rd, I guess) this year.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

To top it off bothLEbron and Larry Hughes and the rest of the Cavs team were having a GOOD GAME :lmao

Lebron 17-31 9 Assists 6 Rebounds 39 Pts
Larry Hughes 11-19 6 Rebounds , 3 assits 26 pts



Thanks for the win Ginobili! :lmao :lmao

[dbreiden83080]

Manu was GODLIKE tonight

nuff said.

[SA Gunslinger]

stick a fork in them..it's over

Don't you mean "Spork?"

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I can't believe I missed this game!!!!

[Crookshanks]

That was absolutely beautiful to watch! I only wish Sean had been calling the game with Bill Land. Manu was a machine tonight! FUN, FUN, FUN to watch! :elephant

[Admidave50]

Wow, if Manu continues to plays like in the beginning of the season and with a healthy Parker, I like our chances despite of all the big trades lately!

Great way to finish the rodeo trip, which is a success after the way it began!!

[spyder]

Don't you mean "Spork?"

Oh yea..stick a Spork in them..thanks for the reminder :spin

[duncan228]

Don't you mean "Spork?"

:lol

[TMTTRIO]

Too bad this game didn't come before the AS voting or he would be voted an All Star but I'm glad he's going to get some rest for the weekend.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Did Manu even miss a shot in the second half?
Good question

46 on 20 shots is INSANELY efficient

He was in that Notorious ZONE that the players like Jordan, Kobe, Lebron, and Wade talk about....Manu's performance was akin to that, no question.

I couldn't believe those 3's and fadeaway midrange jumpers he was making

[beirmeistr]

I think I just witnessed Manu's most prolific non-overtime game ever !

[boutons_]

So nice to end the RRT with a big win and big Manu show.

[BonnerDynasty]

Dallas is still ranked above us in West standings because they have better division record right???

[TampaDude]

Wow...Manu fucking burned down the Q tonight...I'm in awe...what a great way to finish up the RRT! :toast

[Radiosparks]

Wow! I was listening to it on the Cleveland radio up here in N. Va as I was driving in to work. It sounded like Lebron and his minions where going to pull it off. However, reading some of the comments in here, it sounded like Manu put on a show for the win.

[bigfan]

I love to see a good ole ass whoopin delivered by the Spurs!

[milkyway21]

i thought this thread is closed:oops

[carina_gino20]

:pctoss figures...Manu plays an amazing game when I'm not watching. :lol

I just checked a few minutes later because I had class the whole day. I feel like laughing out loud or giggling now, except i'm in a room full of people.

seriously though, :lmao :lmao :lmao at Manu's ridiculous game. He's collecting teams now. :smokin

[hsxvvd]

I'm not sure this is a good thing, he's been shooting far too many 3's lately, this might only encourage him.

[FlatMan]

Holy Shit! Manu was simply perfect....just perfect.....

All the Kobes, Iversons, and Lebrons need to shoot 50 attempts and shoot 35 percent in order to equate the total in points vs. Manu!

Oh really?

This was the second game this year LeBron has taken 30 shots. The other was a few weeks ago against the Lakers.

Let's look at his ~40+ point games this year:

11/2/07 - 45pts on 13/28 (46%)
11/14/07 - 39pts on 15/27 (56%)
11/16/07 - 40pts 13/27 (48%)
11/21/07 - 45pts on 17/26 (65%)
1/6/08 - 39pts on 14/29 (48%)
1/15/08 - 51pts on 18/28 (63%)
1/27/08 - 41pts on 16/32 (50%)
2/13/08 - 39pts on 17/31 (55%)

Ok, some quick math: 54%

When LeBron goes for ~40pts, his average FG% is 54%

Just sayin' - don't make statements that are not true.

[himat]

Manu's 46:

Look no offense, but don't get butt hurt.

Lebron should take more of a role in his offense but for some reason continues to defer to stiffs on his team.

[FlatMan]

Look no offense, but don't get butt hurt.

Lebron should take more of a role in his offense but for some reason continues to defer to stiffs on his team.

What? The offense runs THROUGH LeBron. Having a "role" in the offense doesn't mean taking 35 shots a game, it means scoring, distributing and getting the other players involved. Ya know...team basketball.
