Spurs vs. Hornets Feb. 23 - Game Blog

[T Park]

Terrible execution at both ends to end the Q.


So you pressure Paul and make him drive?

[DazedAndConfused]

Hornets making this one interesting. Better not take Duncan out for the rest of the game, when you take away CP3's penetration their entire offense flounders.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Pop was giving Damon Stoudamire some confidence on execution..too bad he messed on both ends.

[loveforthegame]

And just like that the Hornets make a game of it again. 9 points is nothing. Need a big 4th quarter and hope the Hornets tire out.

[T Park]

Better not take Duncan out for the rest of the game

The Spurs aren't the Suns, and arent gonna play Duncan for 45 minutes in February.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ruff,

Horry has ALWAYS looked like that.

Come on... :)

I know, but it never ceases to amaze me - the question is HOW does he do that? I mean, most of the time he looks like his hips are gone and he can't bend his knees, but that dunk looked like 1994 rookie Horry... he is an enigma.

[boutons_]

Spurs sucking from 3Gs, 26%, but they won't stop shooting them.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

We're gonna win this by 10+

It would really suck to drop one tonight even if it is an impressive Hornets team.


The time to kick up the extra gear for the stretch run begins now.

[T Park]

I know, but it never ceases to amaze me - the question is HOW does he do that? I mean, most of the time he looks like his hips are gone and he can't bend his knees, but that dunk looked like 1994 rookie Horry... he is an enigma.


To quote Brent Barry

"Thats how Robert rolls"

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs sucking from 3Gs, 26%, but they won't stop shooting them.


I shudder to think how much lower that 3 point FG% would be without Manu tonight :lol

[T Park]

Spurs sucking from 3Gs, 26%, but they won't stop shooting them.


Pass up wide open shots

Genius offense there boutons :tu

[Amuseddaysleeper]

And just like that the Hornets make a game of it again. 9 points is nothing. Need a big 4th quarter and hope the Hornets tire out.


Hornets are on a b2b

So tiring out sure is a possibility

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

So you pressure Paul and make him drive?

He shoots 34.4% from 3, so it looks like the right decision to give up the 3, but when the momentum is with the Hornets, I think you make him drive... 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other.

[T Park]

They didn't play their starters hardly at all in the second half last night, so they are prob ok.

[T Park]

:lol

Ol Robert with the old shirt grab :lol

[T Park]

Alright Damon, holster it.

[T Park]

He shoots 34.4% from 3, so it looks like the right decision to give up the 3, but when the momentum is with the Hornets, I think you make him drive... 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other.


Disagree.

You give up an and1, not only do you give up 3 points, but someone like Udoka or Duncan gets a foul.

Damon played it good.


As I say that Vaughn comes in for him :lol

[Ice009]

Edit : Link deleted.

This thing is killing me it keeps stopping and freezing. How is it working for you guys?

[Radiosparks]

OMG...terrible!

[T Park]

and vaughn makes astupid pass.

Dios mio...

[bdictjames]

Damon >>>> Jacque

[T Park]

The whole reason this game is close

8 Spur turnovers has resulted in in 17 Hornets points.

[JohnnySixString]

This could be another game down to the wire. They are letting the hornets back into this game much too easily.

Go to this one.

[T Park]

Come on Dunc, you gotta make that bankshot....

[T Park]

Horry had good minutes there.

Nice effort.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hornets 10-0 run

We must score now

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I shudder to think how much lower that 3 point FG% would be without Manu tonight :lol
Not to mention the last three games :lol

[bdictjames]

.................

[T Park]

Another game where Kurt Thomas would've made a difference.

The rebounds given up are absolutely rediculous

:lol

Hilton Armstrong fouls out.

[Radiosparks]

And just like that..he's gone.

[duncan228]

I don't think the links are supposed to be posted.
Use PM's.

Go to this one.

ya that oen works good

[Spurs Brazil]

Hornets already in the penalty

[01Snake]

Drought

[loveforthegame]

Finley cold sitting on the bench too long.

[T Park]

12-0 run.

Better shut it down now while Peja and Paul are on the damn bench.

[bdictjames]

12-0 run

Vaughn and Finley must be missing Brent.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu should be inserted back in, he'll draw a bunch of fouls

[e20dylan]

manu is comin back now. its on!

[Ice009]

Darn it Spurs not playing too good.

Why did Pop shelve Tony for the rest of the game?

[Radiosparks]

I think the links aren't supposed to be posted.
Use PM's.

Yup, sorry about that.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oh man, get Jacque out, and for the love of Universe bring back Manu.

[Que Gee]

12-0 run

Vaughn and Finley must be missing Brent.

Pops over reaching faith in a one dimensional Michael Finley is unbelievable.

[boutons_]

Spurs daring to make it ugly.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

paul with only 3 assists and 3 rebounds :tu


21 points though, but considering the all around tear he's been on lately, I'll take it

[T Park]

Thomas in uniform.

Don't know why he isn't playing.....

[T Park]

Whew

Duncan makes it 7 again.

[bdictjames]

TD hits both

Up to 7

[Mister Sinister]

Chandler with #5.

[T Park]

Offensive foul on David West

thats his 4th.

Bowen in, Pea in.


Come on Spurs. Time to get goin...

[bdictjames]

Are Spurs getting all the calls?

[still.focused]

How hard is it to re-post Duncan
Its obvious that Armstrong couldnt hold him
Jacque acts like hes scared to pass to him more than once a possession
Its so frustrating that i can see the mismatch but he cant

[T Park]

Come on Manu, not a good shot coming in cold...

[T Park]

Damn Tony come on, HORRIBLE defense.

[loveforthegame]

Pops over reaching faith in a one dimensional Michael Finley is unbelievable.

Finley's been playing well off the bench. So well that Pop will probably be able to keep Ginobli in the starting lineup.

However, Finley isn't going to be any good sitting an entire quarter then expected to come in hot. He only played 7 minutes in the 1st half and sat the entire 3rd.

[T Park]

Offensive foul on Manu Ginobili...

[boutons_]

damn, spurs giving it away.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

wow


this is a disaster

[T Park]

Down to 2.

[Spurs Brazil]

paul with only 3 assists and 3 rebounds :tu


21 points though, but considering the all around tear he's been on lately, I'll take it

Coach Bud said before the game that Paul would score more but they'd like to limit Peja and West

[JohnnySixString]

Looks like the hornets are going to win this one at this rate. Somebody hit the Spurs' Off switch.

[bdictjames]

damnit.

PLease dont tell me we're gonna lose.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

damnit bowen


:pctoss

[duncan228]

Fuck.....

[Mister Sinister]

Fuuuuck.

[Radiosparks]

c'mon take the shot!

[bdictjames]

Bowen.

[loveforthegame]

Terrible. Absolutely terrible. The Hornets know they can steal one now.

[boutons_]

Spurs can't score

[Spurs Brazil]

19-2 run

Tie game

[JohnnySixString]

Spurs remember how to blow a big lead. Is that a good thing?

[hsxvvd]

It's MANU time... Please Manu!

[WalterBenitez]

Holy shit what the hell is going on ou there

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oh lord, what a choke job...

Why is that not continuation???

[Taijihu]

Damn it

[TDMVPDPOY]

are the refs going to bail us out

[Spurs Brazil]

2nd half score

Spurs 28
Hornets 43

And the Hornets is the team on a B2B

[duncan228]

Duncan can make FT's when it matters.

[Taijihu]

T. Duncan hit the first free throw,good boy

[bdictjames]

This is going to be an ugly game. :lol

[Otaku]

He made them :P

[Amuseddaysleeper]

one minute the team looks championship caliber, and then the next I fear they won't even get out of round 1 with the way the west is this year

[T Park]

Manu fouled.

Elliott is right though, they've switched to "prevent offense" they aren't agressive anymore.

[JohnnySixString]

This is going to be an ugly game. :lol
This already is an ugly game now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

They've looked tentative all quarter, not moving the ball or cutting well - I wonder why? It might be the lack of set rotations. Pop has to make some choices soon and settle the team into a rhythm.

[loveforthegame]

I don't like how Pop changed the rotation and minutes up. It's clearly affected some of the bench play.

[DazedAndConfused]

Please don't fuck this up SAS. Give the Lakers the #1 seed in the WC!!!

[Mr. Body]

one minute the team looks championship caliber, and then the next I fear they won't even get out of round 1 with the way the west is this year

They look great because Manu's hitting tons of threes. Otherwise they've had tremendous trouble scoring the ball.

[bdictjames]

How does Peja read to kids? It must be horrible for them.

[T Park]

then the next I fear they won't even get out of round 1 with the way the west is this year

You always feel that way :)

[Amuseddaysleeper]

You always feel that way :)

:toast




alright Spurs, let's finish this :clap

[still.focused]

They need to milk the fact that NO is in the penalty
Flailing ass Manu off screens to come get the ball and then immediate pick n rolls with TD
Just use the movement to try to get a call or 2 if something else comes take it

[Taijihu]

one minute the team looks championship caliber, and then the next I fear they won't even get out of round 1 with the way the west is this year
totally agree

[bdictjames]

Awww.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good D

[Radiosparks]

Oberto!!! That would have been an easy bucket.

[Deimosfobos]

Yes plz

[bdictjames]

Manu!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[T Park]

Thats why you give Paul the jumper...

[Otaku]

[T Park]

THERE YA GO TONY!!!


Manu with 11 assists.

A new career high.

Setting up an "interesting" layup from Duncan :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

5th on West

[Amarelooms]

LOL why is Mike James in....Hornets trying to let the Spurs win

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I like the way they're fighting...

[T Park]

I disagree with taking out Oberto.

He was playing fantastic defense on west.

[Spurs Brazil]

Parker 2/2

Spurs up 6

[bdictjames]

Tp hits both. Duncan with the nice scoop shot

[T Park]

Please don't fuck this up SAS. Give the Lakers the #1 seed in the WC!!!


Uh Spurs would be tied for first...

[T Park]

Paul fouled, going to the line for 2.

Parker hopefully gets into game shape soon.

he doesn't look 100% quick out there yet.

[bdictjames]

Paul with only 4 assists?

[Allanon]

Uh Spurs would be tied for first...

I think Dazed means Lakers are playing tonight on the road at the Clippers. Probably a win though so they'd be #1 in the West.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

T Park - agreed, Oberto was shutting West down.

[hsxvvd]

Uh Spurs would be tied for first...

Phoenix would have one more win. We'd be tied with Lakers.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Bowen 333333333333333333333!!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

TD from Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

11asts for Manu carrer-high
:lol

You know the funny thing is, on NBA.com on Manu's profile

he's been erasing all his 2005 regular season records. So if you look at all the dates almost all his career highs they're almost all from this season now.

[bdictjames]

Bruce from Tony!!!

[duncan228]

Bruce with a big bucket.

[Radiosparks]

Bowen!!!!!

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 3333333333333333333333333333333333333333

[Taijihu]

B. Bowen made a 23-foot three-pointer from the left corner. Assist: T. Parker
big shot

[Radiosparks]

That boy is exciting to watch.

[Spurs Brazil]

West is gone

Great job Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[boutons_]

It's Manu Time, the guy just never quits

[Agloco]

Cold Blooded threee from Manu........

[bdictjames]

Manu must be a beast with stats now.

[JohnnySixString]

Now don't fucking blow this lead Spurs. Goddamn, without Manu the Spurs would only have 10 wins.

[bdictjames]

Lol Duncan with his hands up when manu threw that one.. he knew it was going in.

[loveforthegame]

Hate that the Spurs let them back into the game but they hit some big shots when we needed them. And some very key stops.

[bdictjames]

Ok Spurs.. slow down.

[mikejones99]

Bruce

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn

[still.focused]

Manu must be a beast with stats now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Damned and-1s!

[JohnnySixString]

I don't think Horry should attempt any more shots until the playoffs. Or unless he dunks like earlier.

[bdictjames]

Oh cmon.My connection failed.

[Spurs Brazil]

Td Dunk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hsxvvd]

4 more for the vbookie!!!

[Mister Sinister]

Awesome. Glad I stayed awake for this.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great tap out by Rob.

Great gritty win by the Spurs, and 187 combined pts. :)

The SPURS ARE BAAAAAACK!!!!!!

My fantasy team thanks Manu

[boutons_]

Impressive Hornets run, followed by impressive Spurs finish.

Hornets go 0-2 on their B2B

[Agloco]

Solid Win. Manu is just ridiculous!!!!!

[bdictjames]

Good job Spurs.

[duncan228]

Great game...glad they didn't give it away.

[td4mvp21]

We did not miss a free throw tonight!!! 17-17

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

MANU is a BASKETBALL GOD.

That is all.

Why do you try and belittle everything Manu does, it's pathetic. Both threes were great.

Ginobili took over this game, kudos to his 30 points.

[loveforthegame]

Check out the minutes tonight.

Starters:

Ginobli - 37
Parker - 30
Oberto - 32
Duncan - 38
Bowen - 31

Bench:

Horry - 22
Udoka - 17
Stoudamire - 16
Finley - 11

Yes, don't give Manu too many props or ducks gets jealous . . . :rolleyes

or mad . . . at this point, I'm not even sure . . .

[duncan228]

Manu incredible again, Duncan right with him.
As always, just quietly dominate. If it weren't for the 3 dunks we may have not noticed him at all! :lol
Duncan's line:

25 points
11 boards
6 assists
4 blocks
1 steal

5-5 at the line, only 1 turnover.

[bdictjames]

30 12 and 6? Those are Lebron James numbers.
Same thing I was thinking. All-Star MVP, and this one's not even an All-Star. Cheers to Manu.
:toast

[Ice009]

BRUCE THREE WAS JUST AS IMPORTANT
IT WAS BEFORE MANU DO NOT FORGET ABOUT BRUCE THREE


Not to give to a big head Ducks, but didn't someone say the other day that Bruce needs Tony back to get better looks. Who Had the assist on the one? I believe it was TP yet again. That was definitely a big shot from Bruce.


The player I was watching it on stuffed up though after Horry misssed that three from the corner. What happened after that?

[Allanon]

Amazing job at the line tonight.

New Orleans dropped from #1 to #5 with just 1 loss. Spurs jumped to #2.

Amazing race this year.

[dbreiden83080]

Great game, Timmy played great and Super Manu was Super again.

[Radiosparks]

He's not Super Manu.

Impossible, hes old and done...

[Shaolin-Style]

Manu is like a berserker.

When I saw him get red in the 4th quarter, especially after the tackle on him I knew it was over for them.

He is far from done...I think he's got a couple left in him.

He's the greatest thing I've ever seen.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

manu have another great game
fvck i need to start bitchin about it
i want cry

[Hemotivo]

great game

[Ice009]

What kind of role do you guys think TP needs to play? Should he go back to his same role once he gets healthy or look to distribute more?

btw very glad to have TP back :).

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu incredible again, Duncan right with him.

I think Duncan is loving it that Manu is going off, he's scheming behind the scenes with those numbers.

I must say that was the most enjoyable game so far because the whole team was amped. I loved Duncan calling Manu's three before it went in on his assist!!!

[Budkin]

Great win tonight. Manu was amazing and I love seeing the Big 3 back out there together... GO SPURS GO!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

He's not Super Manu.
He's the god-damned Bat Manu!
Amen. This isn't Super-Manu anymore.

[dbreiden83080]

Do you guys think that even when he gets back to form that Tony needs to play more a secondary role in terms of his scoring?? I mean Timmy and Manu are just playing like worldbeaters together right now, i'd hate to take too many shots away from Manu. Then again we always need Tony's penatration, it creates so much.

[dbreiden83080]

Amen. This isn't Super-Manu anymore.

I like Super-Manu better.

[td4mvp21]

After all the sucking, after all the questions, after all the "the Spurs are done" talk (myself included), we are the 2nd seed in the West and one win away from being the first seed. Not bad :smokin

[duncan228]

I loved Duncan calling Manu's three before it went in on his assist!!!

I'm hoping that there will be a pic of that. So far I haven't found one.

[TampaDude]

Awesome...Spurs took the lead and never gave it up...tied for first in the division...and now they are second seed in the WC. They have won 5 in a row, and 9 of the last 10. SPAM is starting...GO SPURS GO!!! :toast

I know that is old news to most of us.... but it sometimes it is good to hear that the fans from other teams can stay out of the "flopper" speech and appreciate what is good.

Well, well, well..looks like the Hornets came up short tonight? No bullshit shots tonight guys? Jerks.

[dbreiden83080]

:lol

He is far from done...I think he's got a couple left in him.

He's the greatest thing I've ever seen.

TD to me is one of the 10 best players of all time. I am 27 years old and he is the 2nd best in my lifetime i have ever seen, Jordan being the best. I think he can win 6 rings, if he stays healthy. Watch him retire with that much bling and the haters will have no choice but to admit they were wrong about his all time status.

[1Parker1]

Nuggets lost to the Bucks last night, they are out of the playoff picture for now. Crazy. :wow

That same Nuggets team if they were in the East could probably be a 4-8 seed. Right now, the Nets, Wizards, and Sixers are all in the Eastern Conference playoffs, and all 3 teams have losing records below .500.

Lifes a bitch...

I'm not lamenting it. I was just trying to illustrate in concrete terms how bunched up the West is. It's crazy.

It was disappointing to see the Spurs squander away a 17pt lead, it should have been a blowout

It was disappointing to see them let the Hornets back in it.
It wasn't surprising, the Spurs get complacent with big leads all the time.

I think it was beneficial that they withstood the Hornets run and got the win. It was good to see the poise, the Championship form, the ability to keep it together and make the plays they had to for the win.

I think that serves a purpose that a blowout doesn't. They need to remember how to win tight games, how to keep the focus and not give up when a good team comes back on them.

remember how to win tight games? you forget the Minny game already?


and why would a veteren team where almost the entire roster has a title, need to remember how to win tight games?

The Wolves game is another good example.

The Spurs have come out of their mid-winter blues, during that slump it looked like they forgot everything about being Champions.
This is when they put it together, riding the bonding of the RRT into SPAM.

It's a long season, a grind to get to April. The ups and downs get the most devoted Spurs fan wondering if they will even make the Playoffs, never mind go all the way.

No team holds it together for the entire 82 games. My point about remembering how to win tight games is just that. This is when the Spurs "remember" who they are and their focus gets clearer. Their goal is in sight now, it's easier to see in February than in November.

told ya you'd win if you played some defense. Hornets are a house of cards. They are gonna fall to 4th place in the SW division in about a week. Mavs will stay in 3rd place and like I said before. Slugfest between the Rockets and Spurs for the SW Division.

You're 100% right, and that's a much better way to look at it :tu
