Spurs vs. Pacers Mar. 6 - Game Blog

[Mister Sinister]

Rr!

[BonnerDynasty]

Just got home. Why is Bonner in and not Horry?

To give Horry rest for all these games in the next 11 days?

[Sausage]

Well, I'm still skeptical, but nonetheless, glad that shot is going down again.

[spursrocksocks]

damn they beating up on bonner

[Indazone]

Bonner hahaha breaking his string of DNP's

[Indazone]

damn they beating up on bonner

lol

[batboy]

damn they beating up on bonner

Better Bonner than a guard or starter. These guys are playing like fucking thugs.

[loveforthegame]

Just got home. Why is Bonner in and not Horry?

Bonner's been playing well actually. I imagine Pop wants to give Horry rest on b2b nights. He'll be needed more in Denver than tonight.

[Indazone]

They played like that last night. But hey, look at it this way, we softened them up for you.

[TampaDude]

Spurs are in a groove now...they should be able to at least maintain a 10-15 point lead down the stretch...don't get sloppy, guys!

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Bonner with some major flopping. Harrison pushed off with his off arm in the post and Bonner flinged his body like a fish

OFFENSIVE FOUL

[Sausage]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce

[spursrocksocks]

Bruce bruce hit it 3333333333

[JohnnySixString]

Whatever happened in the locker room is working so far.

[Mister Sinister]

Are you kidding me?

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 33333333333333333333

[Mister Sinister]

Bdl.

[Timmy!]

just tuned in....what's with the round patch on the uniforms?

[Mister Sinister]

Bruuuce!

[spursrocksocks]

Bruce running a train

[Spurologist]

Elliott with a classic line

"That ball had some bruce on it" :lol

Daniels on a fast break and throws the ball right into Bowen's path. Turnover.

BOWEN = DPOY

71-59 Spurs

[JohnnySixString]

LOL, "the bald-headed wonder" ?

[loveforthegame]

Bowen again.

Spurs are rolling right now.

[boutons_]

OK, looking much better now.

[batboy]

Don't sweat it RR!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What is with the continuation rule? It is not called consistently at all.

Bonner played well in that stretch.

[loveforthegame]

Hopefully Fin will get these shooting woes over with now and be ready for the playoffs. He was on fire but struggling the last 3-4 games.

[BonnerDynasty]

:lmao

Bonner with some major flopping. Harrison pushed off with his off arm in the post and Bonner flinged his body like a fish

OFFENSIVE FOUL

If Bonner had his beard, that dude would be gluing his elbow back together right about now. :fro

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

If only Harrison could focus and learn to play D he'd be a decent rotation player.

[loveforthegame]

That's a small lineup out there. Oh my.

[batboy]

Popp and his secret fetish for small ball. I bet he looks at small ball websites when his wife isn't looking.

[Spurologist]

Bowen with some major hustle.

Gets the off reb. Shots a 1 footer, misses, hustles for the ball and draw a loose ball foul

BOWEN = DPOY

[Spurologist]

Bowen hits the first ft AND THE SECOND

BOWEN = DPOY

[T Park]

Bonner has had a good night.

Good to see.

The Haters won't like that.

[marini martini]

Is it just me, or does anyone else here think Daniels looks like Punky Brewster?? :lol :lol :lol :lol

[loveforthegame]

Strong 3rd quarter but can't afford to let up. It would be nice if our bench could bring the win home and let the starters rest.

[Spurologist]

Bowen leads all players in +/- category

+19

Bowen = DPOY

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:lol@martinin. Yeah, I can see that.

Pop DEFINTELY yelled at the during the half time break. :lol

[Galileo]

Factoid # 1:

If the Spurs run the table they will finish with 33 straight wins and tie the record.

Factoid # 2:

The '99 Spurs started 6-8, and finished 46-7 (including playoffs).

If I'm not mistaken, that's the best finish of all time.

[TampaDude]

End of the 3rd...84-69 Spurs...time to close it out, guys!!!

[vander]

Bowen leads all players in +/- category

+19

Bowen = DPOY

that stat is meaningless on a game to game basis

on the year Bowen has a -.2 net, and he's usually out there with the big 3

[loveforthegame]

Somebody find Finley's shot and return it to him please.

[Spurologist]

that stat is meaningless on a game to game basis

on the year Bowen has a -.2 net, and he's usually out there with the big 3

I was trying hard to find useless stats to make a case for:

Bowen = DPOY

/signed

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuu

[Spurologist]

It'd be good to get the players rested for mile high tomorrow

[anjlbitz]

Come on Spurs.. Break 100!

[Spurologist]

The Nigerian Assassin nails the Jumper

91-75 Spurs

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime 22222222222

[BonnerDynasty]

Where is Pop?

[Warlord23]

From the minutes distribution, it seems we're saving minutes for Tim, Tony, Bruce, Fab, Udoka and Fin for tomorrow.

[spursrocksocks]

Where is Pop?
lol :lol

[WildcardManu]

Where is Pop?


Judging a wine competition.

[TampaDude]

Where is Pop?

He got tossed in the 2nd...

[spursrocksocks]

pop had too many minutes so he let the asst coach take over so he will be fresh tomorrow

[Spurologist]

Where is Pop?

EJECTION

[Strike]

Is that the red rocket I see on the court?

[spursrocksocks]

Fab!!!

[vander]

I was trying hard to find useless stats to make a case for:

Bowen = DPOY

did he get it last year?

if not maybe they'll give it to him this year just out of respect for past achievements, like they do with movie awards

[Strike]

Nice attempt by fin. Too bad it didn't drop.

[Strike]

did he get it last year?

They've never given it to him. He's been robbed more than once.

[vander]

that hatred of bonner is ugly on you

[Strike]

Ok, the Los Spurs thing is really irritating me.

[Mister Sinister]

Bowen's too "dirty" for DPOY.

[Mister Sinister]

Fin.

[loveforthegame]

Better late than never Fin.

[TampaDude]

Findawg with the DAGGER!!!

[loveforthegame]

I'm impressed we're winning the rebounding edge considering how much small ball we've played tonight.

[WildcardManu]

They've never given it to him. He's been robbed more than once.


Spurs always get snuffed, only Tim gets the respect he deserves because he's the best PF ever. That's right, I said "best PF ever".

[milkyway21]

Spurs 34pts in 12 min.3rdQ not bad.actually it is good. :D

[BonnerDynasty]

That line was bullshit. That should have been a 3. That line was just looking for contact.

[BonnerDynasty]

Tear that ass up Bonner. Be the enforcer!

[JohnnySixString]

Murphy trying to emulate Dirk?

[Spurologist]

did he get it last year?

if not maybe they'll give it to him this year just out of respect for past achievements, like they do with movie awards

Bowen leads the league in game plan fuck ups. Whether its mind games, critical blocks, or lock mode D the other teams know about him.

There really hasn't been any outstanding defensive player thus far in the league. He has a shot. It has always been a player with the most blocks or steals that has gotten the award (outside of Artest). That's why he needs his own stat category. "GAME PLAN FUCKUPS" He leads the league

[Spurologist]

WTF is troy murphy doing out there???????????

Trying to decapitate Udoka????????

[Shaolin-Style]

Motherfucker Murphy.

He wasn't holding the ball with his neck.

[BonnerDynasty]

Broke those ankles Bonnerman!

[vander]

WTF is troy murphy doing out there???????????

Trying to decapitate Udoka????????

he's been getting a lot of calls against him this game, that was a frustration foul

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner J

13pts

[~Sweetmelody~]

Matty came to play!

[anjlbitz]

damn don't let them score 90

[Galileo]

TD had a Bill Russell type game; 6 points and 12 rebounds in 24 minutes.

In Russell's day when you played all 48, that'd be 12 points and 24 rebounds.

Winning basketball.

[JohnnySixString]

Yeah, let's not stop playing now.

[TDMVPDPOY]

gggggiiinnoooobbboooolllliiiiiiiiiiiii iiiisssss bbbbbbaaaaaaallllllliiiiiinnnnnnn ssssspppppuuuuurrrrrttttaaaaaaaa


EASY WIN, NEXT!

BRING ON THE NUGGETS

[TampaDude]

Motherfucker Murphy.

He wasn't holding the ball with his neck.

Flagrant 1...DUH... :lol

[loveforthegame]

I know it's the Pacers but I still like how our bench has been able to hold the lead and let the starters sit.

[BonnerDynasty]

look at that. Bonner is so intimidating his man just fumbles the ball out of bounds.

That's beautiful basketball right there.

[Spurologist]

must be the hair

[BonnerDynasty]

They better quit shoving Bonner like that. They are about to wake up the beast.

You won't like him when he's angryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[SpursFanATL]

Bonner is really taking it for the team tonight.

[TampaDude]

Bonner is really taking it for the team tonight.

My thoughts exactly...

[TampaDude]

Okay...garbage time...try to win by at least 10, guys...

[duncan228]

I am so thrilled that the starters got the rest tonight.
I was starting to get concerned about Duncan's minutes. (Yes, Manu's too.)

[Spurologist]

Spurs will be fresh for tomorrow

[BonnerDynasty]

Bonner: Don't start a fight you can't finish, good sir.

[spursrocksocks]

LMAO MM through KT legs

[Spurologist]

Stoudamire DRAWS THE CHARGE

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Cruisy win.

Next, 3 tough games. i think we'll win 2 of them (maybe lose to Denver in Denver).

[baseline bum]

Harrison's a fucking jackass.

[TampaDude]

Spurs WIN...108-97...11 in a row!!! :elephant

[mikejones99]

pacers get the sick backdoor cover

[Shaolin-Style]

Bonner: "500 dollars says you're my bitch"
Harrison: "What the fuck did you just say? HUH?"
Ref: "Hey what the hell, you can't cuss at him like that. *whistle*"
Bonner: "OWNED!"
Harrison: *throws towel angrily*

[TampaDude]

Spurs will be fresh for tomorrow

http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/4386/freshnessod6.jpg

Yup...that's the best thing about this win...all starters played easy minutes...

[BonnerDynasty]

Harrison was lucky to get out of there alive tonight. One more strike and he was about to get redrocketed.

[loveforthegame]

Spurs will be fresh for tomorrow

http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/4386/freshnessod6.jpg

I'd love to know what Parker is saying to Finley. Ginobli is laughing at whatever it is.

The bench really came through and allowed the starters to rest.

and Pop only had 18 minutes, good rest for playoffs.

[Spurologist]

I'm wondering what TD is doing. He's in an odd position

:lol

[spursrocksocks]

Tp was telling them I was hittin it like this when all the sudden Eva...

[barbacoataco]

Good win for Spurs. Better ball movement.

Are you using an HTPC to get screencaps up that fast? Analog only or one of the new cable-card capture cards?

[spursrocksocks]

theres no doubt it better make top 10 plays of the day

I like the fact that they all didn't play too many minutes. It's been a WHILE since that has happened.

Nice caption, by the way! Do you have any other Spurs captions with Manu/Tony/Tim/other Spurs players joking around? I saw a ton of smiles near the end of the game...it's refreshing to see.

[duncan228]

The Pop clip just made the halftime show on TNT.
They had fun with it. :lol

[duncan228]

Thanks. :)

[batboy]

so the answer is yes, you are capping the game on an HTPC and not a set-top :P

[word]

Los win

[Southwest Texas Fan]

47 rebounds not bad. Since acquiring Kurt our numbers have gone up.

[greens]

I'll try to get more next time


Thanks!
:clap

[Argiebabe]

VAAAAMOS MAAANU!

oh.. btw..
that Los Spurs thing is irritating even to me (I am latin) ... it sounds like the name of one of those lame cumbia bands...

[CubanMustGo]

Los Spurs?

El sucko.

[angel_luv]

:lol

Gino on WOAI sports news about his getting between Pop and the ref right before Pop was ejected.

Gino, laughing: "Pop got upset about a call or two. It happens...was just that time of year. I tried to box him ( Pop) out but it was not a strong enough effort."

Or something to that effect.

:lol

Two back to back games against Spurs. They better win at least one.

[TampaDude]

Los ganadores...

Los campeones...

Los Spurs!!!

[angel_luv]

Scary.:lol


I happened to look over the railing down at the game just as Pop went off and Gino intervened.

It was surreal. All happened so fast and I was confused as to what had caused the altercation.
