Spurs @ Suns Mar. 9 - Game Blog

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

run into your own guy and double dribble haha

[SAtown]

Manu did the same thing against the Mavs.

Yeah, but that was after Terry was being dirty all game, and has a nice history of being a bitch. Duncan, on the other hand, hasn't done shit to Shaq.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

amare sucks at D

wow

3 fouls already

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Amare's 3rd

[KidCongo]

Spurs only have 4 assists, pass the ball

[duncan228]

3rd on Amare.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Manu did the same thing against the Mavs.


This is true, when Terry tried to help him up

good memory :tu

[RonMexico]

Amare picked up that foul because he let Thomas walk all the way to the block. Will D'Antoni light into him in the huddle? Probably not... that's why he'll have 3 fouls in the 1st half the next game.

I'm still a little peeved that Bowen has zero fouls and he's hit Nash a few times.

[Cherry]

Manu did the same thing against the Mavs.

but Jason Terry foul him

[batboy]

Amare in foul trouble -- how shocking

[SenorSpur]

Manu's gonna sprain his wrist because he's shooting so damn much. Jeeez!

[Quiet Strength]

Didnt robinson not clap shaqs hand at an all star game?? Maybe shaq is still upset about that and taking it out on duncans hand...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

once again, being out shot by 11% and STILL winning

I'll take it

[SAtown]

<------

Word of caution Spurs homers....Amare LOOMS

... from the bench :lmao

[RonMexico]

Parker and Manu pretty much love playing in US Airways.

[ploto]

This is so interesting- even watching national coverage- they are all excited praising Manu who is 4-11 but not nearly Parker who is 4-4.

[JohnnySixString]

Didnt robinson not clap shaqs hand at an all star game?? Maybe shaq is still upset about that and taking it out on duncans hand...


Shaq is a fucking moron. Who knows why he does half the stupid shit he does.

[ploto]

I love Shaq- always have. He has been nothing but good for the NBA and is incredibly generous with his time and charitable giving.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

nice ghost D ime

[WalterBenitez]

great rebound by IME

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Udoka 3 :)

[SAtown]

Udoka!

[Radiosparks]

udokaaaaaaa!!

[Quiet Strength]

Yessss udoka

[Medvedenko]

Yup...Tback has got them on a 4 game win streak...not 18.

[RonMexico]

Should have traded Barbosa

[SenorSpur]

10 shots is a lot?

Some of the shots he's taken have been forced and out of rhythm. He's obviously not shooting well, so he needs to do some other things, like drive the ball to the basket, maybe get some kickouts to the corners.

There other guys open.

Just like the open shot Udoka just hit.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Manu's 3rd. Shit.

[SAtown]

Manu picks up 3

[clubalien]

Didnt robinson not clap shaqs hand at an all star game?? Maybe shaq is still upset about that and taking it out on duncans hand...
Didn't david refuse to sign something for shaq as a kid. that he reported in his book?

[ChumpDumper]

Did the NBA eliminate the restricted area?

[WalterBenitez]

I know Manu is playing well, but fouling shaq twice? refs are shiting us.

[SAtown]

Spurs 48 - 45 Suns halftime

[RonMexico]

Manu with 3 and Amare with 3... a trade off I'll take

[JohnnySixString]

Didn't david refuse to sign something for shaq as a kid. that he reported in his book?


That never actually happened though. Outside of Shaq's fat head that is.

[td4mvp21]

Should be up by 10 if everyone was giving it their best on both ends instead of just Ginobili and Parker...

And Shaq has hacked Duncan 3 times and no calls on any of them. Big surprise there :rolleyes

[T Park]

Yeah that Shaq is fat and done, 12 and 11

Gino is shooting like shit

Parker isn't shooting enough

Udoka is playing great

Thomas is obviously trying too damn hard.

Ginobili needs to chill with the fouls now with 3.

Come on Spurs, wake up and rebound the Fing ball.

[Kori Ellis]

Not a bad score, considering how crappy the Spurs are shooting.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

refs has been shitty for both teams


I think SA plays phoenix better in phoenix than they do in SA

[Radiosparks]

Some of the shots he's taken have been forced and out of rhythm. He's obviously not shooting well, so he needs to other things like drive the ball to the basket, maybe get some kickouts to the corners.

There other guys open.

Just like the open shot Udoka just hit.

Yup, he just said that. Good call SenorSpur. :tu

[T Park]

For the love of god

start Udoka in the second half

stick him on goddamn Hill and shut him the fuck down

im sick of the geriatric mother fucker going off for 20 every goddamn time the spurs play em!!!

[lefty]

Got love Manu..he even admits how he fucked up and should be kicking out to his teammates more!

Yeah, but I want him to stay agressive, because when he's trying to please his coach or teammates, he tries too hard and is not at his best

[Amarelooms]

Got love Manu..he even admits how he fucked up and should be kicking out to his teammates more!

When you say Manu I assume you talking bout Flopnobli

On another note.............beep beep :elephant

[Warlord23]

Hopefully Pop makes a few adjustments at the half:

Manu with the ball at the top is't really working. He's 4-12. They're being physical and he's not getting the calls. Tony pick-n-roll with Shaq's man or 4-down is a better option at this point.

Sit Finley. They guy can't seem to hit, and he's useless on defense. Grant Hill is 6-7 with 12 points. We need more Udoka out there.

No more Damon. He doesn't seem willing or able to shoot, and he's useless on D. Vaughn would be a better option.

Transition D needs to be sharper. Hill got back a couple of times and scored before the Spurs managed to settle their defense.

[lefty]

When you say Manu I assume you talking bout Flopnobli

On another note.............beep beep :elephant


Huh

[SenorSpur]

Got love Manu..he even admits how he fucked up and should be kicking out to his teammates more!

He just made my point for me. It can never be said that Manu isn't an intelligent player. Sometimes he's just a victim of his own competitive nature.

[td4mvp21]

Yeah that Shaq is fat and done, 12 and 11

Gino is shooting like shit

Parker isn't shooting enough

Udoka is playing great

Thomas is obviously trying too damn hard.

Ginobili needs to chill with the fouls now with 3.

Come on Spurs, wake up and rebound the Fing ball.

Ginobili has just shot some tough shots- he needs to look for more efficient ones. And I agree, Parker needs to be shooting a lot more. He's obviously brought his A game today. Thomas is trying to hard and he needs to relax and let the game come to him, you don't need to impress us against your old team, we want you here regardless.

[SenorSpur]

Hopefully Pop makes a few adjustments at the half:

Manu with the ball at the top is't really working. He's 4-12. They're being physical and he's not getting the calls. Tony pick-n-roll with Shaq's man or 4-down is a better option at this point.

Transition D needs to be sharper. Hill got back a couple of times and scored before the Spurs managed to settle their defense.


They definitely need to move the ball around the perimeter better for easier, quicker, better shots.

[JohnnySixString]

Huh


That's why he's on most people's ignore list.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

He just made my point for me. It can never be said that Manu isn't an intelligent player. Sometimes he's just a victim of his own competitive nature.
Yeah, he's a guy whose instincts are sometimes out of control.

[boutons_]

into th face of Suns' all-deny defense, Spurs shooting ... 38%

[Kori Ellis]

Ginobili is 4-10, he's just shot some tough shots- he needs to look for more efficient ones. And I agree, Parker needs to be shooting a lot more. He's obviously brought his A game today. Thomas is trying to hard and he needs to relax and let the game come to him, you don't need to impress us against your old team, we want you here regardless.

Actually Manu is 4-for-12, but who's counting :)

[vander]

I'm growing increasingly frustrated with TP's court vision and inability to make the pass in a pick and roll, c'mon TP

[td4mvp21]

Actually Manu is 4-for-12, but who's counting :)

:lol Right before I read this I edited my post.

I like how he's playing though, he missed that easy layup and a wide open three. He's taken 1 or 2 bad shots, but he is the reason the Spurs are up at the half, along with Parker.

[T Park]

The team is fine Pop will make the adjustments...I think he will start Ime..start running plays for Tony until he starts missing shots and bring Manu in around the 6 minute mark.

The last two are true.

Don't be suprised though, for some reason hes very against starting Udoka wich I have zero idea why...

[SenorSpur]

Actually Manu is 4-for-12, but who's counting :)

One solution: Stop forcing this issue and take better effin' shots

[timvp]

Got damn it I was hoping that I was wrong and the overconfident Spur Fans were right who said Shaq was done. Spur Fan has been saying Shaq has been done for every year for the last half decade and they are always wrong.

:pctoss

[td4mvp21]

I guess I shouldn't be too pissed, the Spurs have played rather poorly and are up 3. The Suns have played a lot better than us, I think.

[Kori Ellis]

The Spurs are fine. They just need to watch their shot selection, and step it up on D. Maybe Pop will start Udoka in place with Fin, but probably not.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Got damn it I was hoping that I was wrong and the overconfident Spur Fans were right who said Shaq was done. Spur Fan has been saying Shaq has been done for every year for the last half decade and they are always wrong.

:pctoss

I don't think Shaq is 'done'. I do question whether he can play like he is today for the duration (and compressed time frame) of a seven game series.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

One solution: Stop forcing this issue and take better effin' shots
Manu needs to dunk or shoot the open three from now on.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

BTW, Fin is still looking lost defensively, guarding space. WTF? Give Udoka his minutes.

And LMAO @ Amare. Thomas is punking his ass in the low post. Stoudemire has Shaq now, but he still has the basketball IQ of a brick.

[T Park]

Got damn it I was hoping that I was wrong and the overconfident Spur Fans were right who said Shaq was done. Spur Fan has been saying Shaq has been done for every year for the last half decade and they are always wrong.

:pctoss


You were 100% right the night this trade went down.

He looks motivate and looks in good shape.

Bad bad bad bad news.

[td4mvp21]

Got damn it I was hoping that I was wrong and the overconfident Spur Fans were right who said Shaq was done. Spur Fan has been saying Shaq has been done for every year for the last half decade and they are always wrong.

:pctoss

He is against other teams, except of course when he plays us. I thought the defense has been poor against him and several of his buckets have been put back of offensive rebounds. I've seen Tim and Thomas just stand there watching him pull down rebounds. That needs to stop. On the defensive end, he's changed shots for our guards but he blatantly hacked Duncan, and to his benefit, the refs didn't call it.

Yeah thats been one of the few good things KT has brought today is getting Stoudaidiot in foul trouble.

[timaios]

M. Finley 0-4
K. Thomas 0-3
B. Bowen 0-2
R. Horry 0-2
D. Stoudamire 0-1

Role players = 0-12

[ploto]

Kurt Thomas-- the Shaq stopper...

Yep :tu

[vander]

Yeah thats been one of the few good things KT has brought today is getting Stoudaidiot in foul trouble.

staudamoron rolls off the tongue smoother

[chevcmr68]

wilbon is a moron.............. :bang....

[ChumpDumper]

Kurt Thomas-- the Shaq stopper...ploto -- the single issue poster...

[duncan228]

Nice interview segment with Duncan during the halftime report.
I'm shocked that they didn't do a piece on Shaq.

[WalterBenitez]

The bad thing of Manu having 3 fouls is that POP will hold him on the bench many minutes, I am afraid of repeating last game collapse.

[T Park]

Kurt Thomas-- the Shaq stopper...

The croation shaman will shut him down dont worry your short bus head over it.

[ChumpDumper]

Nice interview segment with Duncan during the halftime report.I bet the ratings for it were horrible.

[DazedAndConfused]

And you guys think Kurt Thomas will be able to stop Bynum.......LMAO. He's good, but he can't deal with the bigger Cs of the league.

[T Park]

I bet the ratings for it were horrible.


Every TV in america blew up from it being so booooring.

[1Parker1]

The Spurs are fine. They just need to watch their shot selection, and step it up on D. Maybe Pop will start Udoka in place with Fin, but probably not.


Yea, their ball movement doesn't look good. And Finley looks like he's lost complete confidence in his shot.

And Bowen is reverting back to his fake pump and drive to the lane for a jumpshot offense which is odd, since he's been shooting so well lately. Stick with the 3'd Bruce!!!

[ChumpDumper]

And you guys think Kurt Thomas will be able to stop Bynum.......LMAO. He's good, but he can't deal with the bigger Cs of the league.Why does anyone need to stop Bynum?

[T Park]

And you guys think Kurt Thomas will be able to stop Bynum.......LMAO. He's good, but he can't deal with the bigger Cs of the league.


When did Bynum turn into shaq fuckwad?

[T Park]

And Bowen is reverting back to his fake pump and drive to the lane for a jumpshot offense which is odd, since he's been shooting so well lately. Stick with the 3'd Bruce!!!

Bowen is fine.

[SAtown]

And you guys think Kurt Thomas will be able to stop Bynum.......LMAO. He's good, but he can't deal with the bigger Cs of the league.

You're saying Bynum is a bigger C than Shaq? :lmao

Settle down Jeff

[1Parker1]

Is it just me or does Parker looks out of sync running the Spurs offense recently?

[1Parker1]

80 year old Grant Hill hurting the SPurs...go figure.

[Kori Ellis]

Is it just me or does Parker looks out of sync running the Spurs offense recently?

He looks slower the last few games. Hopefully is ankle isn't still bothering him.

[Hank the Tank]

surprisingly close....also what's up with the spurs making shaq look like he is 4 years younger than he really is?

[SAtown]

Thomas with 2 nice Js to start the half

[ChumpDumper]

Good D Shaq.

[SAtown]

surprisingly close....also what's up with the spurs making shaq look like he is 4 years younger than he really is?

...especially on defense :lol

[bthewigwam]

something still has to be lingering with Parker. he has a great shooting percentage since coming back but he doesn't seem to be taking as many shots as he should, and even more important, he hasn't been getting to the line. the game against denver, he didn't get to the line once i dont think?

[WalterBenitez]

NBA's Refs sucks

[btimsah]

I love what Nash just did to Bowen. Bowen deserves every evil he gets.

[Hank the Tank]

...especially on defense :lol
haha....maybe not on defense.

[ChumpDumper]

Great refs today.

[~Sweetmelody~]

OMG! Freaking bullshit!

[SAtown]

Push!

[mojorizen7]

That play by Nash is the same B.S that Ginoboflop pulls at least twice per game.
Just sayin. Stupid call.

[Amarelooms]

Push!

Amare bout to take over...he LOOMS :elephant

[Slohoop]

Only 5 assists in 24 minutes.

[btimsah]

You guys aren't used to the bad officiating yet? I just expect it at this point.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

nice dunk tim

[Kori Ellis]

Only 5 assists in 24 minutes.

Shooting 36% isn't helping that number. :lmao

[WalterBenitez]

Can TP dunk? :oops

[TampaDude]

Duncan with authority!!!

[kskonn]

That play by Nash is the same B.S that Ginoboflop pulls at least twice per game.
Just sayin. Stupid call.

well said.

[SAtown]

That play by Nash is the same B.S that Ginoboflop pulls at least twice per game.
Just sayin. Stupid call.

At least make it rhyme so you don't sound like a complete dumbass.

[Kori Ellis]

Amare is 4th - good news.

[TampaDude]

4 on Stoudy! Yes!

[BonnerDynasty]

Out Of Fucking Bounds For Gods Sake

[Hank the Tank]

ugh...i hate shaq.

[kskonn]

Suns fans, I don't watch suns games outside of against the spurs, does stoudemire have the same issue with getting into foul trouble against other teams or is it unique to the spurs.

[WalterBenitez]

4 on Stoudy! Yes!

The day Amare stoped doing stupid things would be great force!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

udoka has the worst arc on his shot in the league

[ChumpDumper]

Great refs.

[btimsah]

Bowen almost inserted his penile on that one. Damn man.

[Hank the Tank]

spurs are takin a lot of 3s....and brickin em..

[T Park]

Thomas plays like a stud, take him out.

Pops on fucking drugs.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

what did bowen do to precious nash. WTF

[Hank the Tank]

stupid shaq.

[SAtown]

Why stop the game?

[SenorSpur]

ABC and ESPN will rerun the Shaq dive - ad nauseum.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

and timeout why?

[WalterBenitez]

Why refs stoped? I don't care Shq is out of the game.

[btimsah]

Whoa.. Shaq took out 3 rows.

[lefty]

Why did they stop the game?

Because Shaq went out of bound ??????????????


WTF ????? :dizzy

[T Park]

14 and 15 for Shaq BTW for the people that said he was old, fat, and done.

[ChumpDumper]

Nice save to Duncan, Shaq.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

oh foul

[td4mvp21]

Man fuck this. Fuck this! Why the fuck are we shitting our pants against this team? We all look fucking scared out there.

[btimsah]

Fans coulda got hurt thats why, but If I were a biased Spur fan I'd hate it too.. lol.

[SAtown]

ABC and ESPN will rerun the Shaq dive - ad nauseum.

I bet it gets on Sportscenter top 10

[WalterBenitez]

Why did they stop the game?

Because Shaq went out of bound ??????????????


WTF ????? :dizzy

Star treatment, according with that rule the game should stop because of because that means just because.
:donkey

[T Park]

Timeout.

Fuckin Spurs are gonna play like shit and lose to these fucknuts.

Fucking pisses ya off.

[velik_m]

Refs really like the suns

[Amarelooms]

Nice save to Duncan, Shaq.

Barbosa....BEEP BEEP :elephant

[td4mvp21]

Someone on this team needs to man up and hit some shots. We look like pussies.

[JamStone]

Nice home-cooking for the Suns so far.

[mojorizen7]

Suns fans, I don't watch suns games outside of against the spurs, does stoudemire have the same issue with getting into foul trouble against other teams or is it unique to the spurs.
No he commits dumb fouls regularly but he also draws WAY to much attention to himself when he does get whistled so he tends to play with a target on his back. He needs to learn how to play with 3 and 4 fouls.

[BonnerDynasty]

14 and 15 for Shaq BTW for the people that said he was old, fat, and done.

Grant Hill is playing great BTW for the T Park who said he was old, made of glass, and done.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

we've only made 6 lousy points this quarter

[ChumpDumper]

:lol Spurs are ok. You're letting the suns crowd and the announcers get to you.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Bell intentionally fouled to stop play . they said it so it must be true

[Amarelooms]

we've only made 6 lousy points this quarter

Barbosa says....BEEP BEEP :elephant

[td4mvp21]

Shooting 33% is inexcusable against this team.

[JamStone]

Shaq could have decapitated those two little kids in the front row. Nice of him to show how lazy he's been the last two years by showing he actually can play with effort when he wants to.

[JohnnySixString]

Maybe the Spurs want to start a losing streak now. :wtf

[kskonn]

No he commits dumb fouls regularly but he also draws WAY to much attention to himself when he does get whistled so he tends to play with a target on his back. He needs to learn how to play with 3 and 4 fouls.


ahhh.

[1Parker1]

Ugh, of course Shaq has his best game of the past season and half today against the Spurs. :pctoss

Spurs need to remember they are playing the Suns. They can get a high % shot almost 99% of the time on the offensive end. Yet they seem to be settling for contested jumpshots. If they passed it around a little more they'd be ok. And Parker, please remember you're being guarded by Steve Nash!!! You need to be more aggressive.

[san antonio spurs]

the spurs better start moving the ball.
We look like the mavs out there.

[BonnerDynasty]

Wow Is Shaq diving into stands going to make espn top 10 plays????

[1Parker1]

:lmao @ ABC interviewing a guy in the row that Shaq flew into. Was it really that big a deal?

[btimsah]

Spurs are down a whole 3 points and you guys can't breath cuzz your crying so hard. Damn. You've won some titles, relax.

[boutons_]

Spurs having a sub-10-pt 3rd qtr.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

this game is pissin me off

[JamStone]

Amare plays somewhat similar to Rasheed Wallace in terms of controlling his temper... maybe not as demonstrative as often, but he does commit dumb fouls and he gets mad when he actually gets caught.

[SAtown]

Spurs offense looks like complete shit.

[Amarelooms]

Spurs having a sub-10-pt 3rd qtr.

BEEP BEEP :elephant

[ChumpDumper]

Shaq could have decapitated those two little kids in the front row. Nice of him to show how lazy he's been the last two years by showing he actually can play with effort when he wants to.Agreed. Nice to know he thought so highly of Miami that he gave 100% his entire stay there.

[td4mvp21]

Barbosa fucking made that contact.

[kskonn]

Ginobli needs to start giving up the ball earlier in the possession, he seems to be forcing the issue a little to much right now.

[1Parker1]

Shit, Parker is hurt. :(

[san antonio spurs]

this game is painful to watch

[td4mvp21]

Spurs playing like they want to lose...

[ATXSPUR]

Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck...the Spurs Have Been Putrid These Last Two Games!!! And Now Parker Is Hurt!!!

[Cherry]

Tony is ok

[td4mvp21]

FUCKING MOTHERFUCKING FINALLY they call a foul for us.

[boutons_]

completely unimpressive.

hit a few shots and Spurs win.

[kskonn]

make up call????

[TampaDude]

3 on Shaq...yes!

[td4mvp21]

Shut the fuck up fans, Shaq hacked Duncan. The fatass can't play man on man D without doing so.

[ChumpDumper]

:lol @ sunfans booing that obvious call

[BonnerDynasty]

It really is sad how much refs determine the outcomes of games in the game of basketball.

[SenorSpur]

Duncan needs to go to work on Shaq's ass and get him into foul trouble and subsequently out of the game.

[td4mvp21]

Fuck this, this isn't a way to respond after losing to Denver. I'm really disappointed in this team right now.

[TampaDude]

completely unimpressive.

hit a few shots and Spurs win.

WERD...if the Spurs were shooting in the 45% range, they'd be up by double digits...their shooting sucks right now...

[btimsah]

[td4mvp21]

Wow that wasn't even a travel

[Radiosparks]

Good D by Udoka.

[JohnnySixString]

Fuck this, this isn't a way to respond after losing to Denver. I'm really disappointed in this team right now.


They tend to do that.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

im over udoka

[BonnerDynasty]

Udoka shoved Diaw in the back just now the same exact way Duncan pushed Shaq in back to get the foul. Completely bullshit calls from refs depending on their mood at the time.

[td4mvp21]

That was another foul.

[ChumpDumper]

http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/1795210/2/istockphoto_1795210_cry_baby.jpg

Nice pic of D'Antoni.

[td4mvp21]

Why can we not make anything?!?!?! FUJC Kjhflajfffklafdsfkljfkaflf

[T Park]

No one came to play today.

Fuck it.

[WalterBenitez]

old boys are killing us

[Warlord23]

The offense sucks

[kskonn]

im over udoka


He is having about the same amount of success as the rest of the spurs in this game.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

if you're gonna play decent D and rebound but be a liability offensively, sit yer ass in the corner and stay there. like bowen

[SAtown]

Only down 4,

[btimsah]

Nice pic of D'Antoni.

:lol

Games not over... Stop crying so much. Damn. :rolleyes

[adidas11]

Not a bad game so far. Its good to see Shaq being effective out there.

[td4mvp21]

Another offensive rebound....You know Spurs, if you aren't going to give it your all, DON'T FUCKING COME TO THE GAME. I'm so sick of this afternoon game bullshit, I'm sick of these little mental games they play with themselves.

[JamStone]

Sucks when you go to old reliable Duncan in the post and he gets shoved by Shaq and doesn't get the call. But, they Spurs were taking a lot of bad shots before they started to go back to Duncan.

[Amarelooms]

Only down 4,

Barbosa bout to take over..BEEP BEEP :elephant

[ChumpDumper]

:lol

Games not over... Stop crying so much. Damn. :rolleyesWho's crying?

Spurs are sucking and still in it.

I am pleased.

[TampaDude]

If the Spurs had won on Friday night, I wouldn't be so pissed right now...but, LIKE I SAID ON FRIDAY NIGHT, the Spurs are on a 4 to 5 game losing streak now...trust me...

[SenorSpur]

Nobody's hitting any shots on this team.

[BonnerDynasty]

Time for Pop to lay down the hammer. Spurs look like shit.

[WalterBenitez]

we are done if TP and Manu don't start to play better.

[SenorSpur]

Going to the hold is the right strategy

[SAtown]

Nice move by Parker. Finally

[btimsah]

Another offensive rebound....You know Spurs, if you aren't going to give it your all, DON'T FUCKING COME TO THE GAME. I'm so sick of this afternoon game bullshit, I'm sick of these little mental games they play with themselves.

The afternoon games are typically against better teams.

[1Parker1]

Ugh Suns up 8. Spurs offense dead in the 3rd. Hopefully they get it together in the 4th.

[td4mvp21]

Kudos to Parker for at least trying to score out there.

[Cherry]

yeah Tony!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

haha I love that ABC is playing Teen Spirit

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

why hesitate tony?

[lefty]

Parker is the only Spur playing like a man right now

[adidas11]

Still a lot of game left to go. A 6 point deficit against the Suns isn't anything. Just ask the Utah Jazz.

[JohnnySixString]

I quit getting so excited over the Spurs playing like shit. If it's getting that stressful, turn the fucking TV off and forget they are playing. Apparently, this is one of those occasions?

You need to calm down homer...Spurs are not that good...only down 6 points be happy :elephant

No, Tim has come out and publicly said he doesn't like afternoon games. That is the best way to ensure some sort of mental issue with games like that. I don't know why he would say that because the Spurs now don't typically play well during any afternoon games. Good teams, bad teams, it doesn't ever matter. That's why I'm sick of these mental games they play.

[1Parker1]

Games like today and Friday's against the Nuggets really show how much the Spurs miss a healthy Brent Barry.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

kudos to parker for TAKING IT TO THE RIM

that is my favorite parker

The Suns are such a horrible rebounding and defensive team, that they generally will allow opponents to get back into any game. I fuilly expect the Spurs to make a major run here by the start of 4th quarter.

[td4mvp21]

I can't believe we are shooting this bad against the Suns. Some of it is the defense, most of it is the Spurs underachieving and sucking ass.

[ShoogarBear]

:lol @ sunfans booing that obvious callWe aren't exactly dealing with the basketball intelligensia here.

I'm not sure a healthy Brent would make up for an overall crap team effort.

yes im close to turning it off and enjoying my sun afternoon. not sayin they cant win, but this garbage play pisses me off

[Crookshanks]

Man, Spurs are really playing like crap today. With just a little effort, they could be dominating this game instead of letting the Suns play like they were in 1st place!

[TampaDude]

+1 Don't the Spurs want to be one of the top 4 seeds? They sure as hell aren't playing like they do. I could understand if Tim, Tony, or Manu was out, or if they played hard but lost on a last-second shot, but they are playing like SHIT...they should have won on Friday night...EASILY...and they should be up by double digits in this game...very, very disappointing...

[JamStone]

The NBA should allow teams to replay games like that Miami-Atlanta game when a player doesn't get called for fouls and should have been. Shaq would have been fouled out before half time. Replay the second half in a week.

[td4mvp21]

Wow, no defense once again. :rolleyes

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

and yes suns fans, we're playing like total ass and still in this game. consider it a favor. kinda like the one you did us by trading for snack. we're even

[JohnnySixString]

yes im close to turning it off and enjoying my sun afternoon. not sayin they cant win, but this garbage play pisses me off


Exactly. No sense wasting an otherwise nice day because you are too pissed off about how shitty the Spurs are playing.

[td4mvp21]

Wow, we passed it and made a shot!

[SenorSpur]

Nice setup by Tony to Oberto

[SAtown]

Nice picnroll Tony and Oberto.

[ShoogarBear]

Shit, I almost thought Oberto was going to blow that layup.

[ChumpDumper]

Bowen doing great.

[Cherry]

Fabri ?

[SAtown]

:lmao nice pass Nash.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

will nash just play ball instead of flailing around everywhere? christ

[td4mvp21]

Parker, you are the man today.

[SAtown]

Parker taking over!!!

[Crookshanks]

The NBA should allow teams to replay games like that Miami-Atlanta game when a player doesn't get called for fouls and should have been. Shaq would have been fouled out before half time. Replay the second half in a week.
I have NEVER understood the Shaqlove by the refs. Why is the game called differently for him? Unless he's right under the basket, he's not a good player - all he has going for him is his big fat ass that presents an immovable object - unless of course he gets "bowled over" by Manu. What a joke this is!

[kskonn]

If the spurs win this game everyone should remember it was Tony that brought us back in the game when it could of gotten out of hand.

[ShoogarBear]

:lmao Spurs playing like absolute azz and it's tied.

[spyder]

damn..this game is gonna go down to the wire

[td4mvp21]

Bowen!!!!!! Fuck Yeah

[SAtown]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuce!!!!

They are afraid he will eat their children.
