[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

C'mon now, D it up.

[Spurs Brazil]

[ednobli2]

Any of you guys have Manu on your fantasy Team? You know you're hard.

[Don Quixote]

My Gosh ... Manu

[Radiosparks]

Manuuuuu!!!!

[ednobli2]

We just need to play D for the love of D Rob

[E20]

That Manu is something else I'll tell ya.

[efrem1]

We just need to play D for the love of D Rob

Maybe it's compensation for the Charlotte game the other night.

[td4mvp21]

I really wish we would play defense, this is pathetic.

[ednobli2]

Anyone spot K thomas on the bench at all?

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

We just need to play D for the love of D Rob

:toast

[Road Warrior]

Long-hair Manu is back!!!! But with short hair. :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yup, D it up, make them play.

Add a couple of pieces to Jeff, Gomes, Telfair and these guys won't be too bad.

[Don Quixote]

85% of the country is not seeing this great game. OH well, hope TNT is enjoying their Miami Heat crapfest.

[ednobli2]

Long-hair Manu is back!!!! But with short hair. :lol
and a bald spot :fro

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu 2/2FT, 40pts

Spurs up 4

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Small ball, eh?

TP, Manu, Fin, Ime... interesting.

[Mister Sinister]

Timmy with the block!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD big block!!!!!!!!!!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

For some reason, even if we pull this game out, I still feel a little worried that we are struggling this much with the Wolves of all teams.

[O.J. Mayonnaise]

Come on Manu, go for 50.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TP looks a little out of sorts (forgotten how to play ball a little), but his movt is there which is great.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley great shot

Spurs up 4

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

manu's so good, not even his hair can cover him.

its old , i know. couldnt resist.

F , come on guys

[loveforthegame]

Too close of a game for me. I hope Minnesota doesn't steal one here.

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCVK

How many and ones for the Wolves today

[Ice009]

Stop Fucking And 1 Fouling

[ednobli2]

For some reason, even if we pull this game out, I still feel a little worried that we are struggling this much with the Wolves of all teams.

Lets do say it's the second game back from the ASG as an excuse. :rolleyes

[Matches Malone]

Please somebody to stop Jefferson. D is going to be the only way not to suffer through the rest of the game, but nobody is playing it. :madrun

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Al Jefferson is officially a Spur killer.

We haven't stopped him at all this year.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

we also sucked against the Bucks last year..don't worry about it!


:lol true


plus the wolves have beaten some very solid teams this year despite their record

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

damn , the 12 people in the stands are going nuts.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tie game

3:18 to go

[hitmanyr2k]

I said it last time they played and I'll say it again. I like this Jefferson kid.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD from Manuuuuuuu

Spurs up 2

We need a stop

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Small ball getting owned on D

[ClingingMars]

what an embarrassing performance...this sure wouldn't cut it against the Suns/Lakers/Mavs/Celtics

-Mars

[ednobli2]

Duncan being Duncan As alwasys

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

we cannot afford to lose to the pups. not this year, in this conf.

[Jobbs]

Al Jefferson scared me more than Howard

maybe because we only play Howard twice a year

[Spurs Brazil]

TD with 24pts 12rebs 7asts 4bks

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jefferson reminds me of Larry Nance for some strange reason...

[loveforthegame]

Who's shooting ft's?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol true


plus the wolves have beaten some very solid teams this year despite their record
yeah, when they apply themselves they played the Celtics, and the Suns really well.

Al Jefferson + more talent next year is promising

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Al Jefferson scared me more than Howard

Jefferson has a better post game, Howard is a better defender.

Jefferson will average 25+ pretty soon.

[Spurs Brazil]

Who's shooting ft's?

TP 2/2

Spurs up 4

[JohnnySixString]

Might as well just start referring to the Spurs as simply "Manu". Everyone else......sucks.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great play Manu

[Don Quixote]

Super Manu with the big steal!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

yeah, when they apply themselves they played the Celtics, and the Suns really well.

Al Jefferson + more talent next year is promising


agreed :tu

[Matches Malone]

Manu steal!!
But nothing but a Wolves basket.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

illegal hands to the face. hands , plural.

[Spurs Brazil]

Flagrant on Wolves

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Idiot announcer: "Telfair didn't have numbers..." Um, looked like a 3-on-2 fastbreak to me. :rolleyes

[td4mvp21]

Small ball getting owned on D

It happens everytime. Somehow Pop seems to believe every problem the Spurs have can be solved with small ball lineup.

[Don Quixote]

Big dumb foul by Telfair.

[ClingingMars]

dirty dirty dirty

-Mars

[Matches Malone]

Manu will go Crazy Manu after that hit

[ednobli2]

we needed that stupid foul

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 4 with the ball

[ClingingMars]

come on findog we need a DAGGER

-Mars

[Mister Sinister]

Aw, COCK.

[ClingingMars]

FINISH

-Mars

[loveforthegame]

Ugh. Fin missed jumper then a turnover by Duncan.

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCk

59secs to go

Wolves ball

[E20]

I wanna see the hit if anybody could upload it, thanks a bunch.

[Matches Malone]

S T O P J E F F E R S O N ! ! ! ! !

[JohnnySixString]

Tim needs to stop trying to dribble the ball. That's at least the third time he's fumbled the ball trying to do it.

[Ice009]

Manu Was Open Poor Play From Tim

[Don Quixote]

C'mon Tim ...

Wolves still right in it. If they make a couple of plays, they win this game.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why to Tim???

Manu high picknroll for petesake...

[Spurs Brazil]

We need a stop

[Ice009]

Manu was open for 3. Tim's ball handling has been poor of late. COME ON TIM. GO SPURS GO!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I have a feeling the Wolves will steal this.

If so, Pop better have the WEAKSAUCE speech ready.

[Spurs Brazil]

Another and one

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[Mister Sinister]

Son of a FUCK!

[td4mvp21]

Fuck the refs seriously fuck them. They need to go to hell if they are going to make those bullshit calls.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

we got this

[Ice009]

TD FUCKED UP BIGTIME TONIGHT. COME ON TIm REDEEM.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bullshit call. He fouled him way before the shot.

[loveforthegame]

That's been the Spurs biggest problem tonight.

[Road Warrior]

Fuck.

[koopa]

why the fuck can't we blow out bum ass teams anymore, it's fucking ridiculous, no way this shit ass team should even be within 20 points........

[ClingingMars]

i missed it, did someone make a dumbass foul?

-Mars

[Jobbs]

sigh....... give the ball to Udoka

[Matches Malone]

Whatttttttt?

What is going on?

Thanks for giving the lead away and three point play

[Ice009]

I said it earlier in the game NO MORE AND 1's and the Spurs have given up like 4 or 5 since I said IT. FUCKING FOUL HARD. NO SOFT RASHO like fouls. Sorry Rasho you might be tougher than some of these guys out there tonight.

[Kobulingam]

2 for 1?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

who the fuck is guarding Jefferson?

Tim. Jeff owns him - too quick. Maybe KT can help? probably not though, he's even slower.

[E20]

Manu for teh WIN!

[koopa]

fucking hell, embarrassing loss

[E20]

Guess not.

[Mister Sinister]

What the fuck is this shit?!

[loveforthegame]

Fuck. TO by Ginobli.

Oh well, not over yet. They need to make one here.

[td4mvp21]

-Mars

Nope refs made a dumbass call.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs have been pulling out these close ones lately.... I'm going to go mad if we loose to the wolves, its like the Sonics loss all over again

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

They've given up 9 and-1s tonight. Is that a record?

[Ice009]

GO SPURS GO! let's do it. NEVER GIVE UP.

[Ice009]

GO SPURS GO! let's do it. NEVER GIVE UP. EVER.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu will be doubled, it'll be ZFin or TP for the win.

[Brutalis]

[Mister Sinister]

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuu

[td4mvp21]

[gospursgojas]

[Radiosparks]

[Spurs Brazil]

[Don Quixote]

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

[Jobbs]

I believe in the god known as Manu

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

No double on Manu, behind the back pull-up, ice. Gotta love MAAAAAANUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!

[Matches Malone]

-Mars

[td4mvp21]

Yeah, Fuck The Twolves.

[koopa]

whew! i hate when we lose to shitty teams, so i guess i can be happy with a 1 point win......

[ThomasGranger]

Karma's a bitch, Telfair.

[mikejones99]

spurs win again

[Don Quixote]

WOAI faded out on the final play. What happened?

[Mister Sinister]

Scola help us
Ficst.

[Radiosparks]

Wow! He had an open look.

[td4mvp21]

Spurs win bitches

[gospursgojas]

phweww

[Matches Malone]

That's what I've asked for. A WIN

But this has been the worst defensive game in along while

[Amuseddaysleeper]

what did gino do on the last play? (defense wise) was it a block or a steal or something?


nice win!

[loveforthegame]

That's pitiful to let a guy get that open. WTF!!

[Brutalis]

scoreboard says we won but you better believe this team needs to get its act together

[ednobli2]

Hell yeah.....by the way blowing out teams any team doesn't seem to fit the spurs style. Any arguments.

[Road Warrior]

Dodged one there. That was a wide open look.

[JohnnySixString]

Wheeeeew......beat the wolves by one point. I fucking hate these games. The Spurs have got to quit playing like drunk retards against crappy teams they should easily blow out.

[boutons_]

frickin ugly, embarrassing, and it's almost March.

ok, get on the plane and go home, forget about it.

Another W for Manu

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yet another vintage Manu performance. Incredible.

Good D on Foye on the last play.

[baseline bum]

Al Jefferson looked incredible tonight.

[Amarelooms]

Spurs lucky...he was wide open...gotta play better if ya wanna come out the west this year...Manu no gonna beat good teams by himself

[bdictjames]

Win!!!

Timmy and Manu brought us yeah.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

scoreboard says we won but you better believe this team needs to get its act together


I hope when K. Thomas starts to play for us we can control that Opp. FG%, because letting the other team shoot 50% from the field isn't gonna cut it on most nights

[dbreiden83080]

scoreboard says we won but you better believe this team needs to get its act together

They came in having won like 8 of 9.

[Admidave50]

Good defensive play at the end! Manu was amazing

[Solid D]

On the last play, Foye dribble drove right and Ime shut him off so Foye spun and Manu trapped in the middle of the lane. Foye was forced to throw is out to Telfair for 3 and he rimmed out.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Telfair - 27% 3 pt shooter. Great D on the last play, although throughout the game the D was poor.

This game doesn't worry me though - short-handed on bigs, used all three PGs, TP looks healthy, got the lucky win. I'll take it.

NO is a REAL test.

[efrem1]

Well, at least the Spurs officially handed the Wolves a losing record.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

telfair should never have jacked manu in the face

[Matches Malone]

Somebody please put another check mark to the "Manu Win" column please.
I hope this dependency is not going to affect adversely the confidence of the team as a whole.
We will not go thru the playoffs like this. Another 38 min-game for Manu is like a 48 min game plus DOTfor anybody else

[E20]

I called Manu for TEH win a while back!

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

if Manu can play like this in the post, the Spurs can' t be stopped

[Don Quixote]

Wheeeeew......beat the wolves by one point. I hate these games. The Spurs have got to quit playing like drunk retards against crappy teams they should easily blow out.

Yeah ... beat Miami and Minny by 1. Lost to Seattle. Barely beat the Knicks in OT. This year's team does seem to be playing alot of these games against crappy competition. Should we be happy we'll not be seeing any of them in the playoffs?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

what did gino do on the last play? (defense wise) was it a block or a steal or something?


nice win!
He closed out on (Foye I think?) who didn't have the open jumper to win it, forcing him to pass out to Telfaire.

Duncan got the defensive rebound.

[dbreiden83080]

Take any win you can get with this damn loaded as all hell conference right now but it sure was UGLY!!!

[Matches Malone]

Somebody bumps the Ditka thread.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Don't forget Timmy's quiet dominance in this game

24 pts 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals 4 blocks

He really helped out the win by making some key blocks in the final stretch

[gameFACE]

Did the Spurs set some kind of record for giving the opposing team the most "and 1's" or something? Damn that was frustrating!

Terrible game but a W is a W.

Manu is 6th man of the month - no question!

[santymrc]

Actually, he may be player of the month. And if he continues to deliver like this (and has a starter), he may have a chance at the MVP award.

[z0sa]

final score?

[Cherry]

:lol

:eyebrows

[Kobulingam]

Minus the finger injury Manu probably would be an MVP candidate now.

[santymrc]

:lol

You wont be laughing after your beloved team get owned by TD, MG and TP come playoffs.

Sorry, Kobe in't gonna get another ring in that uniform, get over it. He may get the MVP and all the rewards you want, but not another ring. Not even one.

[TampaDude]

Wow...Manu was on FYYYYYAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

A win is a win...GO SPURS GO!!! :toast

[Horry For 3!]

A co-worker of mine told me to check out the the game to see if the Spurs won or not. I turned it on to 1200 and they were down 1 with 36 secs left then ended up winning it with Manu's shot. Good time for me to listen to it :toast

[dbreiden83080]

Manu is just in Super Manu mode these days you gotta love it and we need it thanks to this loaded West standings.
