Game Blog :: Spurs vs. Timberwolves :: Mar. 28

[spurschick]

It would be too easy to look past this game... don't do it.

:flag:

[duncan228]

I'm hoping for a big time blow out.
None of this play down to the level of the opponent or get a big lead and let them back in it stuff.

I want to see the starters on the bench for the fourth.
It's an early national TV game Sunday, 2 things that can work against us.
Blow out the Wolves tonight and be ready for Sunday.

[Mister Sinister]

Guten Tag, everybody!

[Galileo]

I hope the Spurs throw the double teams against Al Jefferson!

[T Park]

KT oughtta get some PT tonight.

[CubanMustGo]

Here's to a 17-point Spurs win. :toast

[dbreiden83080]

No messing around, destroy this team and be laughing about the big lead in the 4th qtr,


GO SPURS GO!!!!

[SpursPreacher]

Plan and simple take of business,have a good performance,and win

[Radiosparks]

Fast start with a good killer 3rd to get some of the bench players some quality time.

Go SPURS GO!!!!!!!!

[duncan228]

Spurs call on League Pass.
Happy me!

[loveforthegame]

Go Spurs!!

It doesn't look like Boston is going to help us out against the Hornets. NO up 4 at the half.

[SpurAddict561]

^We were up by 20 in the first half...look what happened to us

Go Celtics!!

(I don't intend on saying this much...lol)

[loveforthegame]

Duncan 0-3 and Finley has 2 turnovers. Not a great start for the Spurs.

[td4mvp21]

Please don't tell me we are going to struggle all night.

[SpurAddict561]

lmao...some of you people have such a quick reflex to worry.


I'll worry when we're sucking in the 3rd quarter..that seems to be our problem this 2nd half of the season.

[td4mvp21]

lmao...some of you people have such a quick reflex to worry.


I'll worry when we're sucking in the 3rd quarter..that seems to be our problem this 2nd half of the season.

:rolleyes

Often times you can predict how the Spurs will do based on the first quarter. Give me a fucking break. I'm going to wonder when we are down to the fucking Timberwolves and are playing poorly on both ends.

[SpurAddict561]

Nah...I've never noticed that.

We're a 48 minute team, one of only a few..

Al Jefferson always seems to give us trouble too...that bastard.

[boutons_]

Shitty game to watch.

I'm staying with Hornets @ Celtics.

[loveforthegame]

lmao...some of you people have such a quick reflex to worry.


I'll worry when we're sucking in the 3rd quarter..that seems to be our problem this 2nd half of the season.


Not worried. Just making a comment on the Spurs start.

[td4mvp21]

Nah...I've never noticed that.

We're a 48 minute team, one of only a few..


:lol You haven't been paying attention to many Spurs games this year if you think that; one of our biggest problems has been playing a solid 48 minute game. We play in spurts a lot of the time.

[SpurAddict561]

anyway, it's killing me being out of town

My NBALP isn't working online...so I've been watching the Courtside Live shit update on NBA.com, and reading the game log in here.

Can't wait to be back home, just in time for the Rockets game..wooot

[SpurAddict561]

I've been watching 80 games a year, bro...ever since I got NBALP several years ago...the 2 I miss is when we're in ATL, cuz they never sell out and I'm in GA....shitty.

minus a few if I'm on duty or out of town, like now.

[SpurAddict561]

Let's gooooooooooooooooooooo

I hope Jefferson doesn't get going like our last game with them.

[loveforthegame]

Ugly shooting by both teams.

[td4mvp21]

We can't keep coming out without energy. This is our free game, we need to come out aggressive and put it out of reach from the let go. Come on Spurs, blow them away in the second quarter.

[Spurs Brazil]

Wolves up 17-14 after one

[dbreiden83080]

Well that sucked lets see how bad we can play the 2nd qtr, geez come on Spurs.

[loveforthegame]

Parker 3-5
Finley 0-0
Oberto 0-0
Duncan 3-8
Bowen 0-1

Ginobli 0-2
Thomas 0-2
Udoka 0-0
Vaughn 0-2

[Darkwaters]

Does anyone have a link to a live internet feed of the game?

[Supreme_Being]

Go Spurs go!

[SpurAddict561]

[Supreme_Being]

Damn.. NCAA is on TV right now. Have to settle with streaming audio for NBA.com.

[loveforthegame]

Ginobli to the rescue.

[Radiosparks]

Ginobili!!!!

[milkyway21]

[SpurAddict561]

Celtics up by 4 with 4 minutes left in the 3rd

let's go Celts!!

Don't let us down like Lebron did!

[loveforthegame]

Good to see Finley with no shots after his hot shooting lately. Just what he needs.

[Supreme_Being]

Go Findawg!

[loveforthegame]

As soon as I type that he took his first shot and made it.

[SpurAddict561]

Good to see Finley with no shots after his hot shooting lately. Just what he needs.

I know...Pop is so unpredictable sometimes lol

[SpurAddict561]

Let's go Spurs!!!!

First to 50 in the Wild Wild West, let's get it!

[SpurAddict561]

Celtics up by 7, 80-73 with 2 minutes left in the 3rd

[SpurAddict561]

Bonner with a jumper then a rebound on the other end

[carina_gino20]

[Mister Sinister]

Fin Funnel with the 3!

[SpurAddict561]

Finleyyyyyyyyy for 33333333333

Damnit he's on a roll lately...

[loveforthegame]

Spurs starting to pull away.

[Mister Sinister]

We're like the Thunderbolts. Except instead of Justice, Like Lightning, it's Ownage, Like Lightning.

[Mister Sinister]

37!?

[Supreme_Being]

That's not a foul!

[SpurAddict561]

Celts up by 13!

Thanks Boston, do our dirty work!

[Supreme_Being]

[SpurAddict561]

Tony is DEFINITELY back in playoff shape.

[SpurAddict561]

Who's battling with Boston?

[duncan228]

Nice lead for the half.
They better not let them back in it. :bang

[Supreme_Being]

All our 3s are falling.

[SpurAddict561]

Finley for 3333333333333


wow..our ball movement and shooting is on so far!!

hopefully we stay rollin in the 2nd half!

[loveforthegame]

Whatever Finley has been eating lately needs to be bought in bulk right away.

[Galileo]

The Spurs are starting to look like a dynastyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Radiosparks]

TP's aggressive attack opens it up for the shooters. I love it!

[td4mvp21]

Excellent second quarter. The defense has been tough throughout and the offense improved. Now lets cut down on turnovers and keep building the lead.

[SpurAddict561]

Hopefully we don't let them back in....hell our bench is going off as is

we need a little rest before Sunday, lol...that's a big one

[polandprzem]

Tony is TP!

Good to see Bonner

Mike is striking

Nice

[SpurAddict561]

Yea, Finley is looking damn unstoppable out there lately

like the Finley we've seen in the past

goooooooo Mike!

I don't worry about too many people on the team but him...everyone else seems to stay self propelled, he needs a swift kick every now and then though.

[SpurAddict561]

In other news:


96-78 Boston


9:40 left in the 4th!

[bigfundamental21]

Much better second quarter. Good bench contributions and Finley still shooting well. I hope we don't come out of the locker room flat. We've gotta crush these guys!

NCAA Championship that is....

[Don Quixote]

No, it's pretty accurate.

They can just recycle the banner when June rolls around. It sure as %^*# won't say "Phoenix" or "Dallas."

[duncan228]

Duncan pretty lay up.

[Supreme_Being]

Nice one for TP!

[milkyway21]

NCAA Championship that is....whoa, my bad:oops. I didn't check out first. :p:

[Galileo]

Bonner + 18, leads Spurs.

[loveforthegame]

Finley's on fire.

[Radiosparks]

Keep it up so we can get Bonner and the gang some quality minutes tonight.

[milkyway21]

[SpurAddict561]

Finley is ON POINT tonight!!!

[greens]

Okay, I don't want to jinx anything but Finley 6-6!

[Galileo]

has anyone noticed only 6 free throws attempts in the game? It's goin' fast.

[Supreme_Being]

MM signing in!

[Supreme_Being]

TD is throwing bricks.

[SpurAddict561]

Duncan on the other hand.........

[SpurAddict561]

[Spurs Brazil]

[td4mvp21]

Take Stoudemire out Pop

[loveforthegame]

Don't fall apart now.

[Supreme_Being]

Sigh..

[Spurs Brazil]

Wolves 12-2 run, cut to 10

[Mister Sinister]

Why'd Black Bolt get T'd up?

[JohnnySixString]

Spurs sticking that fork in the electrical outlet. Again.

[Supreme_Being]

7pt game....

[Spurs Brazil]

Stoudamire still sucks

[Supreme_Being]

Damn!

[loveforthegame]

Down to 7.

Get Stoudamire out of there and put Vaughn in.

[milkyway21]

good news : TP's assists

hope Damon give us good game tonight.

[SpurAddict561]

we need to get Mouse out of there...

damnit

they just cut the lead down A LOT

[JohnnySixString]

The Spurs blew a big lead? Wow, they never do that.

[howbouthemspurs]

damon sucks

[td4mvp21]

I cannot fucking believe we are falling apart against the motherfucking Minnesota Timberwolves.

[Supreme_Being]

I hate them refs.

[loveforthegame]

Wtf!!

[td4mvp21]

Take Stoudemire the fuck out Pop, are you this fucking stupid?!?

[Radiosparks]

Get MM out of there!

[Texas_Ranger]

Take the mouse out!!

[SpurAddict561]

Down to a 5 pt lead

imagine that...put Damon in and it cuts like THAT


Jacque better get the roster spot for the playoffs

Damon is trash so far this season

[bigfundamental21]

After jetting out to the big lead we are just falling apart.

Why does Pop leave Stoudamire in there?

[boutons_]

Spurs collapsing lik pussies.
dammit, they don't inspire any confidence,
and damn little respect

TWolves are 5-29 on the road.

[Supreme_Being]

Put Bonner in!

[Texas_Ranger]

Damon is finished!

[SpurAddict561]

13 TOs isn't gonna cut it either

jesus

[howbouthemspurs]

what the hell is going on?

[SuperManu!!!]

We always suffer with the spurs. We could play new orleans or miami and it's always the same

[SpurAddict561]

it's alright tho fellas

Pop is just trying to find the leaks in the hose that is the championship run

Looks like we've found it...........Damon

TP & Jacque!

[JohnnySixString]

lmao....Why are you people all freaked out because the Spurs stopped playing and blew the lead? This is what they do.

[Radiosparks]

Ime!!!

[Texas_Ranger]

Bravo Ime.

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime 33333333333

[cnyc3]

imeee

[td4mvp21]

Pop fucked up the entire lineup...thanks coach!

[Supreme_Being]

2 travelling calls for TP already. WTF?

[greens]

Is there ever going to be a Spurs game where they don't lose their big lead after halftime!

[boutons_]

Like NVE, Pop went for Damon from memories of years ago, not from actuality. Didn't work, again.

[JohnnySixString]

Is there ever going to be a Spurs game where they don't lose their big lead after halftime!


Well now, it wouldn't be Spurs basketball then, would it?

[bigfundamental21]

Finally, Vaughn is in.... Stoudamire out.

[Supreme_Being]

Go TP!

[Supreme_Being]

Nice!

[dbreiden83080]

A 4th Qtr we have to try in when we should be resting.

[SpurAddict561]

We escaped that wreckage of Mighty Mouse with a mere 6 pt lead

c'mon boys!!!

[td4mvp21]

A 4th Qtr we have to try in when we should be resting.

[loveforthegame]

I just noticed Bowen's only played 15 minutes. Was it a chance for Pop to give him some rest or because others were playing better or what?

[SpurAddict561]

Pop is just giving Damon some playing time at the end of the year before he has to join Irk Nowitski & the Mavs on the couch.

hahahah

[JohnnySixString]

Oh hey, now they can start showing the Brent Barry commercials again!

[cnyc3]

did you see it? that was nice

[Supreme_Being]

Nice one Manu!

[SpurAddict561]

Let's go damnit

4th quarter timeee

[milkyway21]

Chill out guys. You really believe the Spurs would lose to a team like Minnesota? Come on. That will be a catastrophe or bad luck.

This is the Spurs.:flag:

The gospal of manu says it shall rain heavily from the heavens and it shall come in 3333333's can I get an amen brothers and sisters

[bigfundamental21]

I am guessing Stoudamire wasn't the REAL winner in that one.

[td4mvp21]

You take Ginobili out? Wow.

[SpurAddict561]

Yea..notice Mighty Mouse had 54 pts and his team still lost

to the OLD Hornets of New Orleans....wow

[manuchick]

I cant wait for the playoffs to start.The Spurs are really gearing up now with 5 in a row after this win Go Spurs Go!!

[greens]

16 pts for Manu in the fourth quarter!!!

[carina_gino20]

pop... :depressed there goes Manu... :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu to the bench, 16pts in the 4th

[Samr]

I am waiting for them to pass to Manu on the bench now out of habit.

[JohnnySixString]

You take Ginobili out? Wow.


Hopefully they won't need to bring him back tonight.

[carina_gino20]

I am waiting for them to pass to Manu on the bench now out of habit.

:lol

[Samr]

"Minnesota: Where 'no me gusta El Manu!!!!' happens."

[SpurAddict561]

It's refreshing to see us get it right tonight with the Wolves

this is HOW we SHOULD be beating teams under 500

shit

[manufor3]

lets go spurs!

[greens]

You take Ginobili out? Wow.

25 minutes for Manu today...So he'll get some rest...be prepared for the Houston game...

[loveforthegame]

Fin had to go and mess it up by missing a shot. :p:

[Samr]

Manu was so hot tonight that when the t-wolves return home the players won't have to shovel their driveways.

[duncan228]

The Spurs are really gearing up now with 5 in a row after this win

This will be 6 in a row, they've won their last 5.

[manuchick]

Yes if we did not have #20 we would not be where we are sometimes. he can fill it up in a hurry!!!

[SpurAddict561]

First to 50 wins in the WILD WILD WEST!!!

WOOOHOOOOOOOO

[greens]

:rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes

tp and finely got it to the point
dammon lost it
then manu helps


TP, Finley, Udoka, Bonner are also all having a solid game. I'm very impressed with TP's 8 assists especially!

I think what people meant was that when the Spurs lost their huge lead, and the difference was like 2 points instead of the 20 pt lead, that's when Manu got rolling...made the lead bigger once again with his three pointers!

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley with 16pts, great job

[Radiosparks]

Jefferson is a beast!
