Yes Fin a lay up wow

[T Park]

Amazing what a couple nights off does for the boys...

[Obstructed_View]

Dore is loving rolloing that 'r' in Oberto, just killing it...
Speaking of that, anyone know why Shoening pronounces Manu's last name with a soft G? Is that correct? "Zshinobili" sounds French, but not Spanish or Italian.

[Mister Sinister]

Castration.

[Radiosparks]

The ankle doesn't mean anything tonight, it's tomorrow and beyond you have to worry about.

Well, the good thing is he is able to continue to play and didn't go to the locker room.

Amazing what playing against a crap team does for the boys...

[SAtown]

What an assbeating

[Brutalis]

I'm enjoying this new look Spurs
ahahaha me too

[Obstructed_View]

Aggies advance.

[1Parker1]

i'm not watching the game please tell me that tony is ok :(

He seems ok. He continued playing fine and Pop didn't take him out.

[Brutalis]

whos leading the spurs in pts, rbs, etc? anyone care to type that up my net is being slow cause of the weather

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Apparently "eye-mee" just came in, not "eee-may".

[1Parker1]

It's 74-47 Spurs. Not sure why Pop is playing Duncan, Parker, Ginobili so much. I guess he wants them to rest the entire 4th, but they could probably still do that...

[Obstructed_View]

Tony's still going aggressively into the paint, so it's not a problem right now. Those little tweaks are cumulative, so again, nobody knows anything until tomorrow when Parker wakes up.

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[Spurologist]

Tp's burst is 100%, officially, word, for real back.

That needs redundency

[DAF86]

He seems ok. He continued playing fine and Pop didn't take him out.

so he's fine. thanks ;)

[carina_gino20]

Speaking of that, anyone know why Shoening pronounces Manu's last name with a soft G? Is that correct? "Zshinobili" sounds French, but not Spanish or Italian.

I believe that's how it's supposed to be pronounced. At least when I listened to his brother commentating during the Finals, that was how he said it.

[Obstructed_View]

It's 74-47 Spurs. Not sure why Pop is playing Duncan, Parker, Ginobili so much. I guess he wants them to rest the entire 4th, but they could probably still do that...
They need to get some rhythm back. Finish out the quarter strong and then rest up.

[Obstructed_View]

Not finishing the quarter strong here so far.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fin J!!!!!!!!!!!

[Radiosparks]

Finley hits another J.

[carina_gino20]

Stat leader

Timmy has 22pts and 10 rebs. Tony has 5 assists.

[Obstructed_View]

I believe that's how it's supposed to be pronounced. At least when I listened to his brother commentating during the Finals, that was how he said it.
I guess he'd know as well as anybody how to pronounce it.

[Allanon]

Spurs beating the snot out of the baby Bulls.

[loveforthegame]

Fin's probably playing well cause he's in Chicago. He'll go back to sucking tomorrow night.

[1Parker1]

whos leading the spurs in pts, rbs, etc? anyone care to type that up my net is being slow cause of the weather

Parker has 23 points and 5 assists to lead the team. Duncan leading in rebounding...not sure by how much.

Ginobili having a very quiet game.

[Obstructed_View]

Nice to see jumpers coming in rhythm off the pass. Funny how those seem to go in more often.

[1Parker1]

They need to get some rhythm back. Finish out the quarter strong and then rest up.

Well, they've had a brutal March schedule so far and another back to back tommorow night and then the Mavs on Sunday.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

For the Bulls, Gooden is a good fit, but I bet they can't wait to dump Larry Hughes.

Not having a PG has really hurt them tonight.

What happened to them??? There were a team on the rise this time last year, now they are firmly in the bootm ten teams in the league.

[Obstructed_View]

Well, they've had a brutal March schedule so far and another back to back tommorow night and then the Mavs on Sunday.
They need to play better. If they'd played better they'd have had more chance to rest during this brutal schedule. The nice part is that everyone else has had a brutal schedule as well so the Spurs are only a couple of games out of first. Now's the time to start putting teams away and getting some actual rest.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'd take Thabo on the Spurs for a cheap contract. Imagine what Bruce could teach him! He has the physical gifts.

[Jobbs]

Udoka is gonna cost us the game!

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime 3333333333333333333333333

[Spurologist]

Udoka

33333333333333333333333333333333333

[SAtown]

Spurs up 22 after 3 :downspin:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ime has got to learn to restrict himself to what he does WELL - corner 3, good, handling in open floor, bad.

[Obstructed_View]

For the Bulls, Gooden is a good fit, but I bet they can't wait to dump Larry Hughes.

Not having a PG has really hurt them tonight.

Looks to me like they read too many of their own news clippings. They've played the whole year the way the Spurs have played the last couple of weeks. It's a shame because they are really talented. Too bad they didn't listen to their rookie who called them out for loafing in November.

[loveforthegame]

It would be nice to get the starters a rest in the 4th since we play tomorrow against the Kings. Not sure a 22 point lead is good enough to sit them yet though.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Udoka is gonna cost us the game!

Over-reaction much??? :lmao

[Obstructed_View]

Spurs up 22 after 3 :downspin:
Time to see if they can hold this one. It's Bonner time.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

talk about no competition.

[Jobbs]

Over-reaction much??? :lmao


12 minutes left!

[diego]

actually i think its good to see udoka expand his role. let him get some confidence.

[SAtown]

Time to see if they can hold this one. It's Bonner time.

22 point leads are safe with the Spurs.... oh wait

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Indeed. Good call.

Noah/Gray
Gooden/Thomas
Deng/Nocioni
Gordon/Hughes/Sefolosha
Hinrich/Duhon

That team should be getting somewhere.

I wonder who will coach them next year?

[duncan228]

They needed a blow out.
So did we. :lol

[SAtown]

Bruce for 3333333

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

12 minutes left!

Still, one charge up 19 and you say he'll cost us the game.

Over-reaction much?

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 33333333333333333333333

[Radiosparks]

Great passing and nice 3 by Bowen.

[SAtown]

The Bulls can't even rebound. They're getting booed :lmao

[Brutalis]

i thought td was the high scorer, oh well

[Obstructed_View]

Are the Spurs down by one point or something? What's with all the threes?

[SAtown]

INT by Ginobili!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hear the boos on that last play? :lol

[Radiosparks]

Are the Spurs down by one point or something? What's with all the threes?

Hahhahahahaa... You would think they were with all the 3's. :lol

[1Parker1]

89-66 Spurs.

[Obstructed_View]

JV going hard to the basket is a good sign that the Spurs are feeling good about themselves again.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Indeed. Good call.

Noah/Gray
Gooden/Thomas
Deng/Nocioni
Gordon/Hughes/Sefolosha
Hinrich/Duhon

That team should be getting somewhere.

I wonder who will coach them next year?
Doesn't make sense why they suck so much when they clearly have the talent.

[Obstructed_View]

Hahhahahahaa... You would think they were with all the 3's. :lol
They look like Baylor in the second half against Purdue.

[vander]

14 more points for finley please :toast

[Spurologist]

The Bulls can't even rebound. They're getting booed :lmao

I had to check to make sure I wasn't watching a Knicks game

[Radiosparks]

Red Rocket sighting.

[Obstructed_View]

I had to check to make sure I wasn't watching a Knicks game
Or that the teams didn't swap uniforms before tipoff.

[SAtown]

Bonner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sighting

[Obstructed_View]

Another three.

[Spurologist]

Might mouse running on the court

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sefolosha with MM on him and they don't put him in the post???

Terrible coaching.

[Obstructed_View]

Zshaque, Zshoakim, and Zshinobili.

[greens]

Is it too early to bring in the subs? Or about right?

[Jobbs]

Bulls attacking the basket


little too late

[Obstructed_View]

Is it too early to bring in the subs? Or about right?
I'd have started them the fourth quarter. They're under as much pressure as the starters and need to respond to it.

[SAtown]

Sefolosha thought he was MJ :lol

[Radiosparks]

Nice defensive play by Vaughn. Boy did he take a shot.

[carina_gino20]

29 mins for Tony, 26 for Tim, 26 for Manu. :tu

[DAF86]

Is it too early to bring in the subs? Or about right?

we play the kings tomorrow so bring the subs in

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bulls are a fucking joke

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Is it too early to bring in the subs? Or about right?

Happened 3 minutes ago, and I reckon the subs could've beaten this Bulls team on their own! :lol

[Obstructed_View]

Bulls are a fucking joke
Only when they aren't winning.

[Radiosparks]

Zshaque, Zshoakim, and Zshinobili.

I've heard Joekim. :lol

[mystargtr34]

Ime

13 Points
3 Boards
3 Assists
2 Steals

In 23 minutes

[SpurAddict561]

Deng is all they have..lol

[1Parker1]

Bulls attacking the basket


little too late


Well it's easy to attack the paint with no Tim Duncan in the middle and being defend by guys like Stoudamire, Bonner, and Vaughn.

[SpurAddict561]

man I missed Ime....dude is such a hustler

his stats don't do him any justice.

He just tipped another one in the lane.

[Radiosparks]

Pop is like WTF is Bonner doing?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Time to watch the Celts finish it against the Mavs

[Spurologist]

Sefolosha layup drill out there

[SAtown]

Spurs shooting 3s up 25? WTF assholes trying to run up the score. :hat

[Obstructed_View]

Pop is like WTF is Bonner doing?
Which is amazing, since Pop won't play him. Why would anyone be surprised that he's rusty?

[peewee's lovechild]

Spurs shooting 3s up 25? WTF assholes trying to run up the score. :hat

Bill Bellicheck has taken over for Pops.

[SAtown]

What a pass by MM

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Is that Marv commentating the Mavs game? i thought he was Nets announcer.

[Obstructed_View]

Spurs shooting 3s up 25? WTF assholes trying to run up the score. :hat
God I hope Bonner doesn't make one, Pop won't even let him suit up tomorrow.

[vander]

Which is amazing, since Pop won't play him. Why would anyone be surprised that he's rusty?

+1 give the guy some more PT

[Radiosparks]

Nice pass by MM.

[SAtown]

Bill Bellicheck has taken over for Pops.

Lets get Brady to take over for Bonner

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Brandon bass rippin' sheeit up!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Eddie House is a punk.

AGAIN

[loveforthegame]

I know it's garbage minutes but maybe this game helps Stoudamire get his confidence back with his shot.

[Obstructed_View]

Chalupa.

[duncan228]

Is that Marv commentating the Mavs game? i thought he was Nets announcer.

TNT too.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

No pressure for MM and he's knocking his J's.

Same with Finley earlier.

It's when they tighten up under pressure that they miss. :pctoss

[Brutalis]

we need these mavs to lose now

[1Parker1]

Time to watch the Celts finish it against the Mavs

:lol You read my mind...

[Obstructed_View]

Wow, what's this feeling? It's familiar somehow? Oh yeah. It's the feeling I get after a Spurs win.

Gonna go watch the end of the other games. See ya.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TNT too.

Ah, gotcha.

His colour guy for the Mavs game is also crap.

[SAtown]

Spurs WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

[peewee's lovechild]

I can sleep well tonight.

[1Parker1]

Did the Jazz lose this week? TNT showed the standings, and somehow, even before today's Win over the BULLS was accounted for, the Jazz got bumped down to 6th seed and the Spurs 5th since their last loss to the Celts.

[SAtown]

Spurs WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

Don't jinx it mofo

[Spurologist]

Ah, gotcha.

His colour guy for the Mavs game is also crap.

:lol

You might be better off creating a blog or something bashing the horrible color guys in the business

[Radiosparks]

RR scores!

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

102-80

[loveforthegame]

Good job by the Spurs. Nice all around effort from everyone. Nice to see the starters get some rest with a game tomorrow night.

[SpursFan0728]

duncan was awsome

[Spuradicator]

Nice contribution from the bench. And the big 3 all played right around 30 minutes or under. Nice effort all around.

[carina_gino20]

duncan was awsome

Tony was awesome, too. :tu He set the tone tonight.

[marini martini]

Tim & Tony 25 pts!

[peewee's lovechild]

Duncan kicked some ass tonight!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:lol

You might be better off creating a blog or something bashing the horrible color guys in the business

Yeah, that can be the spearhead of my campaign, like Simmons slipping the Bucks GM thing into all his articles. :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Boston 84-83

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Duncan kicked some ass tonight!!

He had humpty (Noah) and Dumpty (Gooden) on him, so if he didn't there was a major problem!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Good win by the Spurs. Hopefully the cohesion they showed tonight will continue under pressure tomorrow, and at Dallas on Sunday. :tu

[Cherry]

BOS 94 DAL 90 :santahat

[T Park]

Yeah this game definately has to give em confidence.

Get a solid win tommarow night and get ready for a battle sunday.

if they could reel off a 3 game winning streak, things will be looking up.

Oh BTW,

someone should be signing tommarow :)

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Agreed.


I think a win in Dallas would be a great confidence booster, as a quality win over a rival would really get these guys in the right track.

[TampaDude]

Mudhole stomped...GO SPURS GO!!! :toast

[dbreiden83080]

Now that was a win old school style for the Spurs. You could see they were pissed about the Celtics game and they took no prisoners tonight. Had a few days to sit and stew about that loss so they came out with the fire tonight. Great defense, good shotmaking, that is the Spurs that are contenders right there. Tony and Tim were awesome, we need this from Tony the rest of the way to finish with a good seed for the playoffs.

[td4mvp21]

I'm not going to expect wins against Dallas or Orlando. I'm hoping for the best but I'm not expecting anything.
