SPURS vs BULLS Mar 20 Game Blog

[Cherry]

15 games left! It's time :hungry:

[MoSpur]

I want to see a blowout. The Spurs blowout the Bulls that is.

[duncan228]

I'm glad the team got a couple of days to regroup, but it seems like a long time since they last played.

I just want to see them win. A blowout, a buzzer beater. Just win.

[Mister Sinister]

Let's castrate these Bulls.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

The winning starts today. :hat

[nkdlunch]

Finally i have a feeling Spurs are gonna unleash serious punishment.

Poor bulls

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Back in olden times SA was a starting point for cattle drives that would end in the slaughter of bulls in Chicago. Some things never change.

[Texas_Ranger]

Let's win tonight. DUNCAN I HOPE YOU'LL DESTROY THE BULLS!

[bball99]

Bulls are going to whoop your sorry team good I predict a 60 pt win for the bulls tonight they have so much more talent then your pathatic squad

Bulls 170

Spurs 110

Clever and educational.

Does sunlight hurt you? I imagine you don't get much while dwelling in mom's basement.

[bigfundamental21]

It's time.


Let's do this!

GO SPURS GO!

[boutons_]

The Bulls suck, no defense, overall weak, but they won't be giving anything away, coming off a rare road win vs Nets. Like the whole league, they see the Spurs wounded, blood in the water.

Spurs need to bring it for 48 minutes.

[Jakebot22]

bulls will win and your playoffs hopes will be long gone :) GO TIMBERWOLVES

[TexSports]

The winning streak starts tonight. Spurs will finish the season 13-2 with full steam heading into the playoffs....

[foodie2]

bulls will win and your playoffs hopes will be long gone :) GO TIMBERWOLVES

Go where? :p:

[T Park]

The winning streak starts tonight. Spurs will finish the season 13-2 with full steam heading into the playoffs....


57 wins.

3 short of what I expected :pctoss

[Brutalis]

I'm pretty sure the ch on Mar would have fit and continued in one row haha.

TPark you made me remember, where is that thread where we all predicted the regular season record last summer? I can't find it. Not that I can find anything anyways.

[Brutalis]

http://i28.tinypic.com/2daahid.jpg
For what those little pussies do to those bulls, I wish they were strung up on a pole with a hole in the stomach so their intestines could hang to the ground and be chewed on by those bulls.

I hate those fucking people with passion.

[sa_kid20]

Can't see the game since i'm in Corpus :depressed . I guess i'll just watch Celtics-Mavs on TNT.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Can we contain "beast of the East" Drew Gooden???

Time to find out!

:lol

[Mister Sinister]

Oh, this gonna be awesome. Spurs and pizza. :smokin

[mikejones99]

Spurs pizza n sex would be better

[mystargtr34]

who would of thought this game would be so important

[Mister Sinister]

Spurs pizza n sex would be better
:lol Yeah, but I'm ugly, so I'll have to settle for the Spurs and pizza.

[Radiosparks]

Here we go...lets bust out of this slump.

[mystargtr34]

Im worried about the Deng/Gordon combo.... I assume Bowen will start with Luol... that might change very quickly if Gordon gets it going.

[1Parker1]

:lol @ Barkley. Talking about Reggie Miller: "He shouldn't have any problems hearing with them big ears"

[1Parker1]

Im worried about the Deng/Gordon combo.... I assume Bowen will start with Luol... that might change very quickly if Gordon gets it going.

Even if Gordon gets going on his offensive spurt, the rest of the team is fairly easy contain. :)

At least I hope so.

[1Parker1]

Duncan is going to ABUSE Joakim Noah. Welcome to the NBA.

[loveforthegame]

I would assume Bowen would start on Gordon. You don't want him to get going. That leaves Parker on Hughes and unfortunately Finley guarding Deng.

[Palio18]

Hello everybody

I am not an nba specialist, so forgive me if my question is stupid. I read on a blog that if we loose today we are almost dead, is it true?

Thanks in advance

[Spurologist]

C'mon bowen. Hit that shit

[loveforthegame]

Ugh. Crap start.

[Spurologist]

:lol

Bulls announcer trying to pronounce Oberto with a hispanic accent, "Obbbbberrto"

[loveforthegame]

WTF is with Gooden?

[Spurologist]

Hello everybody

I am not an nba specialist, so forgive me if my question is stupid. I read on a blog that if we loose today we are almost dead, is it true?

Thanks in advance

we're two games ahead of Golden state for the 8th playoff spot. I'm not an nba specialist either but I did stay at a holiday Inn express last night

[Allanon]

What kind of defense is this? Let them shoot what they want? Close out those shooters.

[Spurologist]

If tp wasn't out there, we'd be in contention for the slowest team in nba history

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bulls announcers = Captain Obvious and General Clueless.

:rolleyes

I should be an announcer in the NBA. I'd do a better job than 80% of them, and the Aussie accent would be a novelty.

[1Parker1]

4-8 Bulls.

All 4 Spurs points are by Duncan. 6 of the 8 by the Bulls are by Gooden who's being guarded by Oberto...

[loveforthegame]

Pitiful.

[Radiosparks]

Terrible basketball by the Spurs!

[1Parker1]

Make that 4-12 after 2 FT's by Deng and a TO by Parker :depressed

Not a good start...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We are ASLEEP.

No extra gear this year.

[vander]

hmm, looks like the Spurs would rather win the 08 draft lottery :lol

[mVp]

OMG... WtF are we doing out there? Awful start...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

WTF is with Gooden?

He's been killing people since moving to the Bulls. Guy has a very good offensive game, although his D is suspect.

[Allanon]

Get Ginobollliiiiii in there.

[loveforthegame]

Bulls - 62% fg
Spurs - 14% fg

[1Parker1]

If tp wasn't out there, we'd be in contention for the slowest team in nba history

Seriously, that's a disgustingly slow starting lineup if you take Parker out.

Spurs still not moving well without the ball. The dump it in to Duncan, while Parker cuts and all the other players stand around the 3 point line. So predictable.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Like Bill Simmons has started a campaign to be Bucks' GM, I think ST should start a campaign to get me a job as an announcer in the NBA.

Whaddayareckon???

[Radiosparks]

Abuse Noah all night long.

[loveforthegame]

Thank goodness for Duncan. He has all our points.

[Manu_Ginobili]

Great start by the Spurs!!! We couldn't play better even we wanted to: 1-7 from the field, shooting 0.143 - we are on our way to a NEW RECORD LOW 1ST QUARTER!!! GREAT!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Seriously, that's a disgustingly slow starting lineup if you take Parker out.

Spurs still not moving well without the ball. The dump it in to Duncan, while Parker cuts and all the other players stand around the 3 point line. So predictable.

Yup.

What happened to the motion offense that was so successful during the 17-3 start? What happened to the assymetrical pnr we used to run? etc

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs still not moving well without the ball. The dump it in to Duncan, while Parker cuts and all the other players stand around the 3 point line. So predictable.

I think Pop's year long tinkering with the lineup has left this team with little cohesion or confidence.

Over coaching & micromanagement.

[1Parker1]

10-14 Bulls. Duncan with 8 points, Parker with 2.

[loveforthegame]

Parker 1-2
Finley 0-1
Oberto 0-0
Duncan 3-7
Bowen 0-3

Ginobli 0-1
Horry 0-0

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Is anyone in that building??? That is the quietest arena I've ever heard...

[1Parker1]

I think Pop's year long tinkering with the lineup has left this team with little cohesion or confidence.

Over coaching & micromanagement.

It's not overcoaching. It's age. It's easier for old legs to settle for jumpshots than actually drive to the basket and move around on offense.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I think Pop's year long tinkering with the lineup has left this team with little cohesion or confidence.

Over coaching & micromanagement.

Agreed. Injuries didn't help, but Pop has tinkered far too long.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It's not overcoaching. It's age. It's easier for old legs to settle for jumpshots than actually drive to the basket and move around on offense.

Age should mean greater cohesion, but not if you're constantly screwing with the rotation.

Age is slowing the team down though.

[Spurs Brazil]

Horry 33333333333333333333

Spurs up 1

[Radiosparks]

Horry with the 3333!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bulls' colour guy after Horry hit 3: "all he does is make shots".

Um, no. He's making about 20% of his 3s this year, and he's known for his INTANGIBLES. These guys are idiots.

[Spurologist]

Seriously, that's a disgustingly slow starting lineup if you take Parker out.

Spurs still not moving well without the ball. The dump it in to Duncan, while Parker cuts and all the other players stand around the 3 point line. So predictable.

Too true.

Has FIN made a layup this season. I would he would penetrate and dunk on somebody. Every time FIN is in the game, you can always see him rotting around the 3 pt line. It's funny because Bowen is getting the open midrange looks that FIN wants. How a cut to the basket?

It can't be the tp/manu/td making all the shots out there. This has been especially true the last couple of games

[1Parker1]

15-14 Spurs.

Horry hit a 3 pointer :wow

Udoka playing good defense so far.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

All the Bulls' colour guy does is ADS! :lmao

Seriously, help me take his job.

[Don Quixote]

Hmm. Not a bad first quarter. I'm still predicting another bad loss, but I'd be happy if they won.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

"Where'd he go? He went left" about Manu.

Dude, you are a freakin GENIUS! :rolleyes

Worst announcers in the NBA.

[Spurologist]

All the Bulls' colour guy does is ADS! :lmao

Seriously, help me take his job.

So........

What direction do you need to make manu go???

[SAtown]

Manu and 1

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuu and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Radiosparks]

Manuuuuuuu!!!

[Spurologist]

:lol

Damn

3 bulls packed the lane on that last tp drive.

You think the coach stretched protecting the lane??

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu coast to coast.

Whoever has been saying Manu doesn't drive any more, he does, he's just mixing it up with more Js.

[SAtown]

WTF? Nocioni coast to coast in 5 seconds for the buzzer beater?

[Spurologist]

WTF

Since when does Drew Gooden make contested fadeaway jumpers

:pctoss

[Galileo]

5 game losing streaks in Tim Duncan era:

none

4 game losing streaks:

1) this one

2) one in '01 regular season

3) one in '04 regular season, but Duncan missed one game

4) lost 4 to end playoffs vs Lakers in '01

5) lost 3 to end regular season in '07, plus first playoff game. Duncan did not play final 2 regular season games, and was kicked out unfairly for laughing when SA was winning in the prior game.

6) lost 4 to end playoffs vs Lakers in '04.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol I love Nocioni's game

[ducks]

spurs need to win the second quarter

[Spurologist]

WTF? Nocioni coast to coast in 5 seconds for the buzzer beater?

in slow motion no less. The spurs move at the same speed so they couldn't stop him.

[1Parker1]

Ugh! Manu drives for a layup, gets fouled but no call. Stays there while the rest of the team runs down the floor and Nocioni get's an easy layup with a 4 on 5 just as the buzzer sounds to end the 1st quarter.

[Radiosparks]

:lol

Damn

3 bulls packed the lane on that last tp drive.

You think the coach stretched protecting the lane??

Yup, I was laughing as they ran into each other. :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

So........

What direction do you need to make manu go???

My point is that it's hardly a revelation that Manu likes to go left. These guys are great at STATING THE OBVIOUS.

However, the guys who say he has no right are wrong because he goes right about 1/5 times... and he's smart enough, if overguarded left, to go right constantly until they have to adjust and give him the left again.

[Phil Hellmuth]

nice red carpet defense there at the end spurs.

[loveforthegame]

Parker 2-3
Finley 0-1
Oberto 0-0
Duncan 3-7
Bowen 0-3

Ginobli 1-4
Horry 1-1
Udoka 0-1
Thomas 1-2
Vaughn 0-0

[ducks]

:lol I love Nocioni's game
ofcourse he is from arg
why would you not
your team in nba would consist of scola,manu, nocioni's and?

[ducks]

Ugh! Manu drives for a layup, gets fouled but no call. Stays there while the rest of the team runs down the floor and Nocioni get's an easy layup with a 4 on 5 just as the buzzer sounds to end the 1st quarter.
so manu just stays there and flirts with the refs and fans nice

[Spurs Brazil]

JV layup´!!!!!!!!

Spurs up 1

[ducks]

not coming back on d is something shaq would do not manu
geez manu!

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Ime!!!!


spurs up 3

[mystargtr34]

Thats it Ime....

[Radiosparks]

Nice stroke by Udoka.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu Delfino Nocioni Scola Oberto

That right there would win an NBA championship.

[Spurologist]

Udoka!!!!

[loveforthegame]

The bench getting it done.

[ducks]

spurs bench is better today

[SAtown]

not coming back on d is something shaq would do not manu
geez manu!

let it go...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Colour guy just said Pop found Ime in the D-League. :rolleyes

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

ofcourse he is from arg
why would you not
your team in nba would consist of scola,manu, nocioni's and?
hey, I just admire the common traits from that Olympic gold medal team. what's wrong with that?

[Phil Hellmuth]

ginobili's 3 ball is cold as of late

[ducks]

let it go...
dude only had 2 days rest for it
post on his site that he can not stand losing then does something like that
brilliant d :rolleyes
he fucking better make up for it

[ducks]

ginobili's 3 ball is cold as of late
what happens when you are tired
that is why he should drive!

[Spurologist]

Colour guy just said Pop found Ime in the D-League. :rolleyes

:lol

He gets in a speaking lull for 5 minutes minutes then shouts

"Didn't hit the rim"

:lmao

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great D by KT on Noah, and some nice ball movt on O.

[ducks]

hey, I just admire the common traits from that Olympic gold medal team. what's wrong with that?
I happen to like the traits of world nba champs better
that would be the spurs :smokin

[SAtown]

what happens when you are tired
that is why he should drive!

Shot clock was at 2. He's not God.

[DieMrBond]

My point is that it's hardly a revelation that Manu likes to go left. These guys are great at STATING THE OBVIOUS.

However, the guys who say he has no right are wrong because he goes right about 1/5 times... and he's smart enough, if overguarded left, to go right constantly until they have to adjust and give him the left again.

Yeah, but for those east coast fans that only see Manu play twice a year, (or casual fans) it might not be obvious to them, and they do have to cater for the lowest common denominator, right?

Granted, I'm not listening to the broadcast and no doubt they suck - but they cant cut off non-hardcore fans!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:lol

He gets in a speaking lull for 5 minutes minutes then shouts

"Didn't hit the rim"

:lmao

Or he comes in and does an ad for some sort of Bulls money-making venture. The guy is a tool!

Seriously, let's get a campaign going, I want his job!

[ducks]

Shot clock was at 2. He's not God.
A. Nocioni went the full court in 5 seconds
surely manu could go 1/4 of court in 2 seconds :p:

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I happen to like the traits of world nba champs better
that would be the spurs :smokin
who said, it wasn't in addition to the NBA champs?

[vander]

Shot clock was at 2. He's not God.


huWHAT!!! :madrun

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yeah, but for those east coast fans that only see Manu play twice a year, (or casual fans) it might not be obvious to them, and they do have to cater for the lowest common denominator, right?

Granted, I'm not listening to the broadcast and no doubt they suck - but they cant cut off non-hardcore fans!

Sure, but if you were listening you'd know why I'm commenting on it. these announcers are just TERRIBLE - not biased, just uninteresting and poorly informed.

[carina_gino20]

A. Nocioni went the full court in 5 seconds
surely manu could go 1/4 of court in 2 seconds :p:

let it go

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Colour guy again: "spurs are just kinda coasting now... they're starting to get healthy... they're still the NBA champs".

Thank you for that pu-pu-platter of platitudes.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Timmy's bringing it.

[Spurologist]

Color guy:

"Spurs are coasting"

They're on a 4 game losing streak :wtf

[Radiosparks]

Nice finish by Udoka.

[ducks]

let it go
I will when I leave and fix a computer
then I will be back and see how this game is going

[Phil Hellmuth]

lol at the clueless color chicago announcer

[ducks]

I. Udoka has more points then manu
wow the bench is bringing it tonight
bench manu from now on!

[Phil Hellmuth]

nice pass parker

[Radiosparks]

I see some nice passing out there tonight.

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime again!!!!!!!!!!!

Spurs up 10

[ducks]

is I. Udoka the x factor now?

[loveforthegame]

Nice offensive run by the Spurs. Up 10. Finley will probably come in after the timeout and the lead will evaporate.

[Spurologist]

TP TO UDOKA on the fast break

beautiful basketball finally from the spurs

Udoka has been the best player in the game. He's doing everything out there. rebounds, DEFENSE, scoring

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bench moving the ball well and hustling on D, and the starters have continued the trend after a comatose 1st Q.

39-29

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

is I. Udoka the x factor now?

COHESION is the X factor.

[carina_gino20]

I. Udoka has more points then manu
wow the bench is bringing it tonight
bench manu from now on!

ducks is on a roll :lol But I agree, I hope Manu coming off the bench is permanent now.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bulls stink

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yeah, let's just chain Fin to the bench, please.

Will Brent be back next game?

[mystargtr34]

14 +/- for Ime... most of that without Duncan on the floor

[Phil Hellmuth]

Noah sucks lol...

[ducks]

5:35 SA - M. Ginobili enters game for I. Udoka
lets see what the lead does now!

[Spurologist]

Manu makes a steal and gives the ball back

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

So, c'mon guys, you gotta agree that I'd do a better job of colour commentating than this shlub.

[ducks]

4:56 CHI - D. Gooden made a 12-foot fade away jumper along the left baseline
5:11 CHI - D. Gooden steals the ball from M. Ginobili
5:29 SA - M. Ginobili steals the ball from A. Nocioni
5:35 SA - M. Ginobili enters game for I. Udoka

[ducks]

Manu makes a steal and gives the ball back
awesome

[Brutalis]

hows tim doing

[loveforthegame]

4:44 when Finley entered with an 8 point lead.

[duncan228]

I'd rather hear you Ruff.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Parker did travel then. Moved his pivot foot twice.

[ducks]

damm tp that is 2 layups you missed

[Spurs Brazil]

TP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spurs up 10

[ducks]

3:58 CHI - Personal foul on J. Noah
4:00 SA - Team rebound
4:00 SA - T. Parker missed a layup
4:18 SA - F. Oberto defensive rebound
4:20 CHI - L. Hughes missed a running layup
4:33 CHI - B. Gordon defensive rebound
4:34 SA - F. Oberto missed a 5-foot jumper in the lane
4:44 SA - M. Finley enters game for B. Bowen
4:44 CHI - L. Deng enters game for A. Nocioni
4:44 SA - Team rebound

[ducks]

3:50 SA - T. Parker made a 19-foot running jumper from the left wing

[Spurologist]

I think Noah can play for 3 international teams. He has Cameroonian roots, ties with France, and US.

His best bet is probably with France.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'd rather hear you Ruff.

Thanks, 228.

Honestly, I reckon I know more about the NBA than half of the commentators. And as I said, the Aussie accent would be a nice gimmick. It'd work, all I need is a chance... :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[Phil Hellmuth]

chicago's half court offense is sporadic and awful.

[methionine]

anyone know if the game is on in Austin?

[ducks]

2:43 SA - Full timeout (Timeout #3)
2:43 CHI - Shooting foul on D. Gooden
2:43 SA - T. Duncan made a 7-foot jumper in the lane
3:01 SA - R. Horry enters game for F. Oberto
3:01 CHI - Step out of bounds turnover on D. Gooden

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

"until somebody beats em, they're deadly..."

So what does it mean when 6 out of the last 7 opponents have beaten them?

Moron. Do your research.

(and yes, I know he was referring to the Finals even though he didn't say it, but the guy expresses himself so poorly the audience probably doesn't know what he meant)

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I thought Luol Deng was supposed to be the NEw Michael Jordan ? what happened there?

[duncan228]

Thanks, 228.

Honestly, I reckon I know more about the NBA than half of the commentators. And as I said, the Aussie accent would be a nice gimmick. It'd work, all I need is a chance... :lol

You still thinking about moving to SA?

Maybe you'll get a chance. :)

[ducks]

spurs need a big third to rest the starters in 4
lets them rest

[Cherry]

Timy :elephant

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

"until somebody beats em, they're deadly..."

So what does it mean when 6 out of the last 7 opponents have beaten them?

Moron.
they're half-assed commentators I noticed. Seem like they're thinking about vacation already.

[carina_gino20]

"until somebody beats em, they're deadly..."

So what does it mean when 6 out of the last 7 opponents have beaten them?

Moron.

you should probably just mute it and listen to schoening. you'll enjoy the game better.

[Spurologist]

a monumental upset could be upon us.

#2 Belmont 64
#15 Duke 67

4 mins left

[mystargtr34]

Can we get Finley out of the game please.

[Mister Sinister]

Holy crap, we're not sucking yet!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

You still thinking about moving to SA?

Maybe you'll get a chance. :)

I'd like to for next season, but it's all about whether I can get a job or not...

[Phil Hellmuth]

hahah announcers were talking about fishing, how fitting!

[Brutalis]

a monumental upset could be upon us.

Finley had better sit when Brent comes back or Pop has truly lost it...

[mystargtr34]

Your an idiot

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

you should probably just mute it and listen to schoening. you'll enjoy the game better.

Thanks, but actually I'm having fun taking the piss out of these morons... :lmao

I'm in a nasty mood. :D

[Spurs Brazil]

TP!!!!!!!!!!

Spurs up 20

[ducks]

1:52 SA - M. Finley made a 23-foot three-pointer from the left corner. Assist: M. Ginobili
hell froze over

[Radiosparks]

Nice move TP...nice.

[Phil Hellmuth]

parker tearing it up

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why have they gone away from Gooden? He's been scoring 20ppg since he got there.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

"53 isn't bad" - if they'd done any research they'd know that 53 in a half is a revelation for the Spurs.

[Spurologist]

confused are we

# mixup

you get the point

[carina_gino20]

Thanks, but actually I'm having fun taking the piss out of these morons... :lmao

I'm in a nasty mood. :D

obviously... :lol

Wow, Tony's on a zone.

33.8 SA - T. Parker made a 17-foot jumper from the left wing
:43.0 CHI - B. Gordon made a 13-foot turnaround jumper along the left baseline
:55.8 SA - T. Parker drives to the hoop for a layup
1:07 SA - T. Duncan defensive rebound
1:08 CHI - L. Deng missed a 19-foot jumper from the left wing
1:28 SA - T. Parker hit the second free throw
1:28 SA - T. Parker hit the first free throw

[Phil Hellmuth]

Why have they gone away from Gooden? He's been scoring 20ppg since he got there.

because noah wants to show his ugly awkard post moves

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

1:52 SA - M. Finley made a 23-foot three-pointer from the left corner. Assist: M. Ginobili
hell froze over

:lmao

[loveforthegame]

Wow. The Spurs were able to expand the lead to 18 from 8 when Finley entered the game. The Bulls were only able to score 8 points in that span as well.

[DAF86]

Holy crap, we're not sucking yet!

we start sucking after halftime

[Radiosparks]

because noah wants to show his ugly awkard post moves


:lmao

[Radiosparks]

Belmont just took the lead. Hahhahahahaaa.....

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Honestly, Bill, Sean and "the crazy Aussie who travels 12,000miles to see the Spures play and wears a flag like a cape to games"... I reckon it'd work.

I have a feeling Sean and I would riff off each other well, and it'd be a great example of the "International NBA".

I'd be willing to fly over for a try-out in the offseason. Make it so!

[Spurologist]

Belmont up 1 on Duke with possession

we start sucking after halftime
They're going to let them come back in the game :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow. The Spurs were able to expand the lead to 18 from 8 when Finley entered the game. The Bulls were only able to score 8 points in that span as well.

I think it had a little more to do with TP tearing them a new hole...

[Jobbs]

Noah is garbage.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oh, shit, it's Kendell Gill! I always liked Kendell...

[DAF86]

hope we don't blow this one

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Dallas-Boston tied at 43, 1 min to go in 1st half.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

hope we don't blow this one

If we blow this game against a PATHETIC Bulls team, we don't deserve any sympathy.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

This is the most boring game ever, I must say, thank god for college basketball.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tom freakin Dore - like he ever picked a ball up in his life.

I OWN that guy.

[Radiosparks]

Well, Duke survived a huge upset.

Okay, back to Spurs BB. I hope we don't come out struggling in the 3rd.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This is the most boring game ever, I must say, thank god for college basketball.

Yeah, it is a mind-numbingly boring game for some reason.

BTW, my DL2 team ROCKS and y'all other DL2 owners betta be SCARED. /smacktalk

I am in a very strange mood. I think I need to... (finish this sentence - best answer gets a prize)

you're probably right :depressed

[loveforthegame]

I didn't mean the lead was because of Finley. More that I was surprised we didn't lose the lead with Finley in there. That's why I marked the time Finley entered the game and what the lead was in an earlier post. I think we all expected the lead to evaporate with Finley out there.

wwow..

[boutons_]

Spurs stompin a team they're supposed to stomp.

We'll see if the stompin continues in 2nd half.

Cool that Manu stole on Chapu

[Radiosparks]

Yeah, it is a mind-numbingly boring game for some reason.

Take a shit. :lmao

[vander]

[Spurologist]

Gotcha! ;)

[Obstructed_View]

Spurs put almost an entire half together. Let's see if they can keep it going.

[Obstructed_View]

Good start.

[loveforthegame]

I hope Finley doesn't try to be the man now that he's a couple shots.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Just because Fin hits a few 3s when we're well up in a game against a poor team, let's not lose our perspective...

[Obstructed_View]

I hope Finley doesn't try to be the man now that he's a couple shots.
Might as well use this time to get his confidence back.

[vander]

Might as well use this time to get his confidence back.

[mystargtr34]

Get that shit out of there

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Gooden wears #90.

What's that about?

Fix a stiff drink & make an unmarbled steak :toast :hungry: :toast

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oh, how I love it when Fin pulls up and jacks from 20 feet... :rolleyes

[Obstructed_View]

Gooden wears #90.

What's that about?
He wore zero and he wore 9, so when he couldn't have zero at Cleveland he combined them and got 90.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fix a stiff drink & make an unmarbled steak :toast :hungry: :toast

Good idea, except it's midday... maybe tonight. ;)

[duncan228]

I love it when the crowd is so silent I can hear the team.
(Only on the road though, a quiet crowd at home is a bad thing.)

[Radiosparks]

TP hurt?

[duncan228]

Damn.
He better be okay.

[duncan228]

Was that the same ankle?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

He wore zero and he wore 9, so when he couldn't have zero at Cleveland he combined them and got 90.

Good answer.

Not many players wear high numbers.

TP just did an ankle, oh joy...

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuce 333333333333333333

Spurs up 25

[Radiosparks]

He seems to look okay. Kind of scary there for a second.

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

These commentators feel like the "Larry Sanders" version of NBA commentary! :lmao

[mystargtr34]

Duncan
Robinson
Silas
Gervin
Manu

Chucks fave 5 spurs

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yeah, TP walked it off. Must've been a tweak.

[Creation88]

gotta keep that pressure on them.

[Obstructed_View]

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

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Dore is loving rolloing that 'r' in Oberto, just killing it...

[T Park]

up 27.

Nice.....

[mystargtr34]

I wanna see

Kurt
Horry
Ime
Fin
Stoudemire

in the 4th

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Fin!!!

Spurs up 27

[carina_gino20]

let's hope Fin really starts getting himself out of his slump

[T Park]

Dore is loving rolloing that 'r' in Oberto, just killing it...

Yeah gotta pronounce it in an italian fashion, not spanish.

[Jobbs]

I'm enjoying this new look Spurs

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

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

The way he went back to full pace tells me it was a grade 1 sprain at worst though. If it was a 2 or 3, no way he could do what he's done since.

[Brutalis]

go figure someone makes a thread about charles fav five
