ps - if youve got dual tv's (ala my gameroom) dont forget about the memphis/Tenn game

[Ice009]

Does anyone have any links to tonights game? If so, please PM me.

[ducks]

So Is Tp Starting

[duncan228]

NBA TV's "Game Night" is on now, they're going to break down tonight's game in a minute.

[duncan228]

So Is Tp Starting

All the Previews had Parker on the bench but that doesn't mean he won't start.

[duncan228]

Thomas in uniform, stretching.

[duncan228]

NBA TV says Thomas is expected to play.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Any luck Ice009? If so, please PM ME! :lol

Yet another bloody game not shown on BB League Pass... WTF!?

Which local channel is this on in SA? And which national channel... TNT?

[ancestron]

Tony Parker is starting.

[ducks]

Spurs By 29

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tony Parker is starting.

Good.

Hopefully he'll be agressive tonight. he was a bit tentative in his 18mins vs Minne (unsurprisingly).

[Herschel Walker]

Any luck Ice009? If so, please PM ME! :lol

Yet another bloody game not shown on BB League Pass... WTF!?

Which local channel is this on in SA? And which national channel... TNT?


The game isn't on League Pass, its on NBATv nationally.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The game isn't on League Pass, its on NBATv nationally.

NBATV? So it's not even being nationally broadcast by TNT/NBC/whoever has the NBA rights?

[SpursFanFirst]

hey guys and gals, im having company over tonight but wanted to check in. I hope we play tough and with energy tonight. i think thats all we can ask but a win would be wonderful revenge. So Go Spurs, and i hope everyone has a great sat night. Especially SFF !

Thanks, HighLow...have fun!

[SpursFanFirst]

I'm looking forward to see how K. Thomas adjusts tonight.

[Ice009]

Nope no luck at all Ruff :(.

I really wanted to watch this one. F.

[spyder]

Go Spurs!! Kick some Hornet's Arse :downspin: :downspin: :flag: :flag: :flag:

[batboy]

I really, really want Bowen to have a good game tonight. If he lets Peja light him up again...

[greens]

So what's the starting line up? TP/Finley/Bruce/Tim/Oberto?

[Herschel Walker]

NBATV? So it's not even being nationally broadcast by TNT/NBC/whoever has the NBA rights?
Thats right my brotha from down unda. I think TNT does only tues-thur games during the regular season. No major network picked this one up or the NBA wanted it exclusively for their channel.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Could someone please tell me if this game is being broadcast on TV other than NBATV? Is it on FSN/NBC/etc.?

edit - thanks Hershel. Hard to belive this isn't being nationally broadcast. Bugger. Can't watch, dammit! :depressed

[duncan228]

Spurs call on NBA TV.

Ruff- Sorry you can't get this one.

[sprrs]

Could someone please tell me if this game is being broadcast on TV other than NBATV? Is it on FSN/NBC/etc.?

The game is on Kens5, or FSN here in SA.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The Chinese are watching the Nuggets play the Bucks... :rolleyes

[kolko]

Parker AND Manu starting?

[batboy]

The Chinese are watching the Nuggets play the Bucks... :rolleyes

How is this in any way suprising?

[dbreiden83080]

GO SPURS GO, revenge TIME!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The game is on Kens5, or FSN here in SA.

Thanks.

What channel number is FSN??? Or Kens5?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

How is this in any way suprising?

It's not given that Yi is playing, but my comment was more about the quality of the game.

[RashoFan]

Thanks.

What channel number is FSN???
26

[duncan228]

[Spurs Brazil]

TD layup from Manuuuuuuuuu

D.West score

Oberto from TP

Spurs up 8-2

[easjer]

Good lord, it looks like someone watched the Hou/NO game and realized they needed to jump out early. This is as energetic and composed early on as I've seen this season. Dayum.

[RashoFan]

Ruff, game is on Kens 5 which is Ch 5 in SA. Collage hoops is on FSN.

[easjer]

I love that they are going in to the paint early. LOVE that.

HATE that I'm going to have to go take a shower in a few minutes.

[easjer]

RashoFan - Maleficent? LOVE.

[easjer]

4th chance points are NOT ACCEPTABLE./

How quickly things change. :lol

[easjer]

This game is going to be wild.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD from Manuuuuuu

Spurs up 12-10

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ruff, game is on Kens 5 which is Ch 5 in SA. Collage hoops is on FSN.

Thanks, I'm trying to find Kens5 on the Comcast network though, and it's not channel 5...

[easjer]

The perimeter d is not what I might wish.

[easjer]

Where are you Ruff? It's on 101 where I am.

[RashoFan]

Thanks, I'm trying to find Kens5 on the Comcast network though, and it's not channel 5...
Well good luck! I hope you find it!

[easjer]

It's on NBATV, if that helps (and youre outside SA)

[easjer]

Boo. No chat tonight? Chat is better - less downtime and scrolling

[resistanze]

Damn, that move by Paul was sick.

[loveforthegame]

This game would be a huge win for us. We'd reclaim the southwest.

[easjer]

DAMN it Tim. Hang on to the damn ball.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

101, I'll try that, thanks...

[loveforthegame]

2 ally oop dunks for Chandler already.

[easjer]

Is it just me or does Tim lose the ball a lot more frequently this season?

[SpursFanATL]

It says this game is on KENS HD. WTF is this not in HD on NBATV-HD?

[SpursFanFirst]

Boo. No chat tonight? Chat is better - less downtime and scrolling

I was thinking the same thing.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD layup

Spurs up 16-15

[hater]

[easjer]

They are not rebounding so well as they should be. I hope KT fixes that for us.

[loveforthegame]

Spurs doing a good job on West early on.

[easjer]

I was thinking the same thing.

:lol ok...I'll see if anyone else is in there.

[easjer]

If not, I should be back in about 10 minutes. I clearly didn't time this well at all. But I smell like mayonnaise and it's making me gag.

[duncan228]

Horry for 3!

[Spurs Brazil]

Good offensive rythm right now.

[SequSpur]

[loveforthegame]

[dbreiden83080]

You don't have NBA TV.

[hater]

who can't watch the game?

I can't. Is KT in uniform??

[bdictjames]

I can't. Is KT in uniform??

[Spurs Brazil]

[hater]

i cant too. I would appreciate it if someone would PM me some means to access NBA coverage.

I would appreciate this too

[duncan228]

Thomas is in uniform and it's been said he'll play.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

[WildcardManu]

yeah, obertos line is standing out, at least for peeps refreshing boxscores online like me

[bdictjames]

Parker really needs to work on that jumpshot again.

[bdictjames]

Tony!!!!

[bdictjames]

I havent seen that in a while.

[easjer]

I'm back - heading over to chat, hoping people are there. If not, clearly I'll be back.

[Radiosparks]

See Tony move?

[bdictjames]

Timmy!!

[Radiosparks]

Nice pass by Manu.

[bdictjames]

Lol West looks confused. Horry and Duncan were all over him.

[Radiosparks]

28-40 Spurs!

[bdictjames]

TY radiosparks. I finally got it to go.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow, they look serious, and Tony looks unhampered which is fantastic! :)

Nice lefty layup by Timmy.

[loveforthegame]

It would be nice to see the lead balloon so we can see Kurt Thomas for a few minutes. I don't think Pop plays him otherwise.

[boutons_]

NBA has become pussified with all these ticky-tacky fouls.
NCAA ball is much rougher.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Stop shooting jumpers, T.

[bdictjames]

Tony!!!

[hater]

Tony is back!!!

[Radiosparks]

TP hitting the J.

[duncan228]

Duncan! :)

[bdictjames]

Oh shoot!!! TIMMMY!!!

[bdictjames]

Damn That Was Good

[hater]

yeah!!!!

[Radiosparks]

Manu 2 Timmy = Slam dunk and 1!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD dunk and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WildcardManu]

awww man, i'm missing the game

[bdictjames]

Lol poster...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great fast break there...

boutons, I totally agree.

[Kobulingam]

So Tonny's LIFT and SPEED are back?

[bdictjames]

Lol, I screamed when that one went in. Left handed too.

[dbreiden83080]

TIMMAYYYYYYYY with the DUNK!!!

[WildcardManu]

keep the details coming

[Spurs Brazil]

Hornets FG-34%

[duncan228]

Damn, that dunk looks even better in the replay.

[Radiosparks]

TY radiosparks. I finally got it to go.

No problem. :tu

[bdictjames]

So Tonny's LIFT and SPEED are back?Lift? When did Tony have lift?

But he's just shooting jumpers, so I wouldn't know. He did have a nifty lay-up over Peja a minute ago.

[duncan228]

And he hits the FT. Nice.

[loveforthegame]

Other than Paul no other Hornets player is a factor at all. Good to see our guys keep West and Stojakovic in check.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Lefty DUNK by Tim! Years since we've seen that!

[Kobulingam]

Lift? When did Tony have lift?

But he's just shooting jumpers, so I wouldn't know. He did have a nifty lay-up over Peja a minute ago.

He was suffering with lift before his injury layoff. He was missing so many close layups because of it.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Last game against the Hornets they set double screens high for Paul time and time again and picked our D to pieces... I wonder why they aren't using that setup tonight?

[bdictjames]

Lefty DUNK by Tim! Years since we've seen that!
AKA the one on AK47 a couple years ago. :rolleyes

[WildcardManu]

Last game against the Hornets they set double screens high for Paul time and time again and picked our D to pieces... I wonder why they aren't using that setup tonight?


saving it for the second half?

[bdictjames]

Last game against the Hornets they set double screens high for Paul time and time again and picked our D to pieces... I wonder why they aren't using that setup tonight?
Much better defense I'd say. Horry is moving well.

[Radiosparks]

Timmy!

[bdictjames]

TIMMY again!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[duncan228]

Duncan with 2 hands now.

I'm having a nice night.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD with a great save

[hater]

:lmao Duncan almost kills that child

[Radiosparks]

MM hits the 3!

[bdictjames]

Stoudamie 333333333333

[hater]

Damon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Damon 33333333333333333333333333333333333333

[duncan228]

Looking good so far.
Hope they can maintain it the rest of the way.

[hater]

this is the best game I've seen spurs play since December

[VaSpursFan]

spurs looking good tonight...awesome D and solid offense...with no KThomas yet.

[ducks]

People Who Thought When Tp Was Starting I Said Spurs Would Win By 29 Now Know What I Am Talking About
They Are Half Way There

[WildcardManu]

payback for the blowout

[ducks]

spurs looking good tonight...awesome D and solid offense...with no KThomas yet.
POP WANTS TO PUT HIM IN AND GET THE CROWD AND SPURS EXCITED AND HAS NOT NEEDED TO USE HIM YET

[DazedAndConfused]

Spurs look like they are back.

And thanks for squashing the bugs, now we 'll be in 1st place after we take care of the Clappers tonight.

[xtremesteven33]

Spurs are playing FRIGGIN AWESOME right now......havent seen them play like this in MONTHS!!!

[loveforthegame]

Great finish to the half and a nice lead to boot. They can't afford to let up in the 2nd half though. Go for the kill early.

All starters played at least 15 minutes with Horry being the only bench player to log over 10 minutes.

[td4mvp21]

We just need to come out the same exact way in the second half. No complacency at all, espcially considering what happened in the second half last time. Let's come out like it's 0-0.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

AKA the one on AK47 a couple years ago. :rolleyes

Why the rolleyes? As I said, he hasn't dunked with his left in years. He used to do it all the time ih his first five seasons.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Wow, Timmy doing great slamming it down.

Is Manu drawing more attention because of his 40 point games?

He has 6 assist already?

[bdictjames]

Why the rolleyes? As I said, he hasn't dunked with his left in years. He used to do it all the time ih his first five seasons.
Ok man, ok. Chill.

[td4mvp21]

Ok man, ok. Chill.

Why does he need to chill? He's absolutely right, Duncan is so much better when he uses his left hand and tonight shows it. He had an excellent first half with a couple of lefty shots.

[Holt's Cat]

The old guys are busting the new kids' ass.

[Mr. Body]

Gut check time for New Orleans. Dumped big by the Rox last night, in trouble now.

[Joe Schmoogins]

hey everyone... does anyone have a link to watch this game online? Could you PM me please with the info... Seems like they are playing great, I don't want to miss the whole game. Thanks.

[dbreiden83080]

Hornets look tired, just come out with intensity and aggression for the 3rd and we should finish them off.

[Mister Sinister]

Just got home from work...Good thing to come home to. Anything special I missed?

[Holt's Cat]

Hopefully the margin keeps up so KT can get some PT.

[td4mvp21]

Just got home from work...Good thing to come home to. Anything special I missed?

Duncan slam dunked it hard after Gino missed, probably the best play of the night.

[Spurs Brazil]

hey everyone... does anyone have a link to watch this game online? Could you PM me please with the info... Seems like they are playing great, I don't want to miss the whole game. Thanks.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I want us to play N.O. in the conference finals

[Spurs Brazil]

Hornets on fire now

[loveforthegame]

Bowen goes to the bench and Peja hits 2 in a row. We can't have that guy heating up.

[T Park]

Bonzi being a punkass.

What a shock.

[Spurs Brazil]

T on Bonzi

[Radiosparks]

Tech on wells...mutha F'er!

[Mister Sinister]

Hah. T.

[T Park]

fuckin manu...

[Mr. Body]

what was the bonzi T about?

[Joe Schmoogins]

Go back to page 4


thanks!

[T Park]

Manu drove center, bonzi bumped him, then after the whistle while ginobili was in the motion of shooting, he slapped his arms pretty hard.


Stoudamire has GOT to make that shot when hes THAT open.

[Radiosparks]

Manu!!!!

[T Park]

Ginobili for 3!!!

God hes playing amazing ball...

[boutons_]

horrible 3rd qtr for the Spurs, let them back in the game.

[bdictjames]

Manu tres!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[T Park]

West scores easy.

Take your time Kurt, come to the team in April :rolleyes

[T Park]

Another Three

Wow!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Finley hurt or in the dog house? Only 7 minutes tonight.

[bdictjames]

Lol Manu

[bdictjames]

Manu is crazy.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

[O.J. Mayonnaise]

Time to bump the Ditka thread.

[T Park]

Nice agressiveness by Ime to get the foul on West.

His third.

Time out Spurs.

[bdictjames]

Finley hurt or in the dog house? Only 7 minutes tonight.
Others are just playing better.

[WalterBenitez]

Can someone umplug Manu, just for a while ...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

James - I'm chill, just don't rolleyes me for nothin! :lol

Manu, Manu, Manu... he is my favourite balla to watch ever. My lord, he's just such a basketball NATURAL. DRob will always be my favourite balla, but if i just want to watch someone play the game it's Manu...

[Spurs Brazil]

Hornets 9-12FG in the 3rd

[Agloco]

Manu = Ridiculous

Carry us home.........

[T Park]

Manu is Robinsons favorite player ya know Ruff :)

[Radiosparks]

Hahahaha..Bonzi is in the torcher chamber.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I love it when someone talks trash or puts a hit on Manu - he never fails to step up and shove it back in their face!

[T Park]

Hornets 9-12FG in the 3rd

Typical NBA game, someone down double digits will make a run.

Turnover after some good defense.


One thing I noticed about NO, if you pressure them with good defense, they get flustered.

[duncan228]

Manu isn't my favorite player and I'm spellbound watching him! :)

[T Park]

Ah Fuck

That Thing Was Halfway Down!!!!!!!

[duncan228]

Horry!
Omg.

[T Park]

Oh Robert Horry With The Emphatic Dunk Off The Cut Pass From Manuuuu!!!!

[JohnnySixString]

Wow. Horry. Wow.

[bdictjames]

Horry jam!

[Radiosparks]

That's what i'm talking about Horry! Slam that shit!

[Spurs Brazil]

Horry dunk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

10 asts for manu

[T Park]

Oh man

this team is playin some fuckin ball man

THIS IS AWESOMEEE!!

[Radiosparks]

Manuuuuuuu.....!!!! I love it!

[bdictjames]

Oh Robert Horry With The Emphatic Dunk Off The Cut Pass From Manuuuu!!!!
Man you are a fast typer. :lol

Manu!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uu

[01Snake]

Manu is simply disgusting!

[bdictjames]

Lol Peja is just frustrated.

[T Park]

That pass from stoudamire to Ginobili, then Manu to oberto, back to manu for the layup has turned into my favorite play.

:lol@ Elliott

[Radiosparks]

Do you think Barry is cheering for his buds?

[O.J. Mayonnaise]

How was Manu not an all star? He's playing like the MVP right now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

How can Rob look like he needs a walking frame half the time, then dunk like that?!?!

[T Park]

OH IME!!

I thought you had it...

[Spurs Brazil]

Peja already choking

Missed 5FTs all year and missed 2 tonight

[duncan228]

It feels good to see them play like this.

[T Park]

How can Rob look like he needs a walking frame half the time, then dunk like that?!?!


Ruff,

Horry has ALWAYS looked like that.

Come on... :)

[loveforthegame]

3 fouls on Udoka now.

Looking at the minutes, the starters are logging some serious minutes. Pop must want this game as much as we do.

[T Park]

Peja already choking

Missed 5FTs all year and missed 2 tonight


Its almost playoff time....

[T Park]

3 fouls on Udoka now.

Looking at the minutes, the starters are logging some serious minutes. Pop must want this game as much as we do.

In all honesty, its time to stop fuckin around.

Time to start ratcheting up the intensity.



Wow, what a block by Hilton Armstrong.

[bdictjames]

Oh man.. Paul

[T Park]

Lose the quarter by 6.

I don't blame Damon on that, I give Paul the 3 instead of letting him drive.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Terrible execution at both ends to end the Q.

[01Snake]

Nice D there on Paul

[bdictjames]

Lead cut to 9.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hornets 8-0 run

Spurs up 9 after the 3rd
