Game Thread - Warriors @ Spurs - 1st April

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

The whole Nuggets fanbase (so about 40 people lol) will be behind the Spurs. Blow the Warriors out of the water and send them packing :smokin

I hate relying on other teams to lose but hey its the situation the _enver Nuggets put themselves in after a terrible performance

[sa_butta]

Should be a tough game going in with a 7 game winning streak. I hope Finley can keep it up.

[Los Spurs]

The only thing nice about the Warriors is Andris Biedrins :p:

[Jimcs50]

We got your back, but your team needs to stop blowing 19 pt halftime leads to the Suns.....so hopefully your team can help itself tonight and smack Phoenix down a peg also.

[Brutalis]

It's about time for a let down but we'll see.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Game plan should be simple and only involve two words - TIM DUNCAN. Noone on the Warriors has a clue on how to stop lowpost guys.

[MoSpur]

Should be fun to watch.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Today would be a perfect day if the Nuggets win, Spurs win and Mugabe is defeated.

[peskypesky]

I agree. Hopefully, Pop will go with this strategy.

[Cry Havoc]

I would kill to see a GS - Denver series, just for the novelty of watching 7 games of basketball with about 4 minutes of defense combined in the entire series.

[CubanMustGo]

:lmao

:toast

[dav4463]

Duncan needs to be big tonight. Warriors have no inside presence. It would be nice to see Thomas have a good game too.

[Brutalis]

Damn not 8 mins into the game and we're already down 12... great.

[Budkin]

Duncan needs to be big tonight. Warriors have no inside presence. It would be nice to see Thomas have a good game too.

Agreed, the Warriors need to be punished down low. They have no one that can guard Timmy so he needs to go off on them. I don't want to see a bunch of smallball bullshit tonight.

[ClingingMars]

Damn not 8 mins into the game and we're already down 12... great.

wtf?

-Mars

[boutons_]

I don't know how much this game means to the Spurs, but the Warriors of course are trying to maintain a playoff spot, so I expect them to show up.

The Spurs will have plenty of shots open. Biedrins can't handle Duncan, so the Spurs have got to hit their shots.

The real danger is that the Warriors have a hot shooting night.

[boutons_]

A Spurs W and Hornets L @ORL would make for a sweet evening.

[Warlord23]

Anyone who has a link to the game, PM it to me please. Thanks in advance!

[greens]

Is this game going to be shown on TV? NBATV? Or ESPN?

Or only League Pass?

[greens]

Anyone who has a link to the game, PM it to me please. Thanks in advance!


I'd also love a link too...via PM, please... :)

[SpursFanFirst]

Game chat is up and running for any interested parties

[1Parker1]

Is this game on League Pass? :wtf I don't see it...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This will be a tough test for the team - both times we've played the Warriors this year they've controlled the tempo and toweled us up, time for some PAYBACK.

LP is just saying "we'll be right back" for me". Is the game on yet?

Update: LP working now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Cross your fingers Fin can keep up his shooting - we'll need it tonight.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nice to see Jax and Pop showing some love there - do you think Jax attributes some of his success to Pop? He should, Pop made him into a real pro player.

[Spurs Brazil]

Warriors starting ultra-small

Harrington, Azabuique, Jax, Ellis and Davis

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 333333333333333333333

[boutons_]

Warriors have never beaten Duncan @SA?

We haven't been good the past couple years with those kinds of streaks.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!, 4tps

Spurs up 7-4

[loveforthegame]

Ugh. Fin's missed his first two shots.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Warriors are so much fun to watch - playground ball.

[Warlord23]

We're playing at the W's pace ... this is not a healthy sign

[mystargtr34]

Fuck here we go raining 3s

[loveforthegame]

Not the start I was hoping for.

[boutons_]

Leaving the perimeter shooters open, and paying for it.

[Spurs Brazil]

Warriors on fire from the outside

Warriors up 17-13

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We so don't want to meet these guys in the playoffs. Once again, we're playing their tempo.

WTF was that from TP? Dribble for 5 secs then launch? MOVE THE BALL.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'd rather face these guys than Nuggs or Mavs

[Warlord23]

Small ball, here we come

[mystargtr34]

Oberto may aswell go get a shower.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

oh wow

very very uncharacteristic of Tim to do that

[Warlord23]

We need to take care of the ball against these guys.
Turnovers : Warriors :: Gasoline : Bonfire

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spurs up 20-18

[Amuseddaysleeper]

damnit, NO is all tied with ORL now

[Warlord23]

Looks like Bennett Salvatore is more whistle-happy than usual tonight

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I've never seen tony play this.....pissed off



I like it :tu

[Spurs Brazil]

TP and one!!!!!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'd rather face these guys than Nuggs or Mavs

I don't want to see Hornets, Nuggets or Warriors.

Mavs don't concern me at all any more. Even though they play us tough, we'll beat them 4/7 99% of the time now I think.

[SpursFanATL]

TP, don't be so pissed that you miss free throws!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TP is PISSED after getting belted in the mouth. Also, no shotblocker. That equals TONY TIME.

[Warlord23]

WTF is Parker doing at the FT line?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Remind me to wear my gino jersey every spurs game!

[Warlord23]

Manu with a steal and a block!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

WTF is Parker doing at the FT line?

mimicing the warriors FT%

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Spurs up 3

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bill Land is so right - Manu makes a mistake, he usually makes up for it right away.

[spursrocksocks]

manu is going lights out

[SpursPreacher]

I think tony rushes his free throws,when he takes his time he is much better,he needs to just relax and go a little slower when he shoots them.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

WTF is Parker doing at the FT line?

Yeah, ugly, isn't it?

Form looks wrong - his hand is sliding under during the release rather than snapping through the ball.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bill Land is so right - Manu makes a mistake, he usually makes up for it right away.
Reminds me of Olajuwon going for a steal or block after a mistake. :lol random I know, but he used to do that.

[greens]

Both Manu and TP are going nuts!

[SpursFanATL]

damn these Warriors and their 3's!

[RashoFan]

Fin for 33333333333333

[SpursFanATL]

Fin!

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley 333333333333333333333333

[Warlord23]

Uh-oh ... 2 fouls on Manu

[RashoFan]

I am liking how agressive Fab has been getting after those Rebounds... :ihit

[loveforthegame]

2 fouls on Ginobli sucks. We're going to need him tonight.

[Spurs Brazil]

2PF on Manu

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Warriors outrebound opponents by 3!?!?

[Warlord23]

Turonvers killing us

[BlackSwordsMan]

trade manu now!

[Spurs Brazil]

TOs killing us

[loveforthegame]

You can't afford to turn the ball over against this team.

[RashoFan]

Fab!!!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I want that last play to happen in the fourth quarter of game 7 in the NBA finals

props to fab :tu

[mystargtr34]

And Beidrins just turns into Mark Price against us

[boutons_]

Spurs scoring at GSW rate, but so it GSW.

[SpursFanATL]

So we're on pace to hit 140 tonight! :)

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

If this pace continues we'll be in trouble by the 4th Q.

[boutons_]

Tim needs to show up

[rcs15]

Anyone got a link to watch the game?

[Warlord23]

Shooting 60% and leading by 1? Pop must be foaming at the mouth

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I want that last play to happen in the fourth quarter of game 7 in the NBA finals

props to fab :tu
yeah, reminds of a good save. I hope that's a premonition play :lol

[boutons_]

hornets@magic close with 5 mins left, swapping baskets.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I dunno who else has access to the ORL/NO game, but my god is Peja a BRUTAL defender. Makes Nash look like the second coming of Artest.


Orl up 90-88 with 4 min to go in the game

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Anyone got a link to watch the game?

Try google.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu from Oberto!!!

[Warlord23]

Get Tim in there, slow things down. We're playing helter-skelter at the moment

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Anyone got a link to watch the game?


People usually post links to games on here:

[loveforthegame]

What a terrible lineup for scoring.

[Supergirl]

MEMO TO THE SPURS: DO NOT GET INTO A 3-POINT SHOOtiNG CONtESt WITH THE WARRIORS.

[Spurs Brazil]

T on Pop

[loveforthegame]

Was that T on Udoka?

[RashoFan]

Damn, Pop got a tech and I missed it cause my mom is going on about the Mengo...2 guys dancing the Tango together....WTF???

[Spurs Brazil]

Salvatore sucks

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Damn, Pop got a tech and I missed it cause my mom is going on about the Mengo...2 guys dancing the Tango together....WTF???


:lol :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Man, is it just me or are the refs beyond horrible tonight?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Man, is it just me or are the refs beyond horrible tonight?


No no, they really are horrible tonight


Isn't the first time either

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 33333333333333333333

[Cherry]

Gooo Tim :D

[RashoFan]

Manny, your snowflake....:lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim is going to the drop-step - Land has called it a "drive" and Sean a "jump-shot... jump-hook". DROP-STEP guys, please get it right, I know you can.

[MannyIsGod]

I think they're pretty horrible both ways. Those last 2 calls on the Warriors were pretty bogus.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Amuse - no links to sites like that. Can get Kori in trouble. PM if you must.

[RashoFan]

Dunk for Tim

[mystargtr34]

This is better

[Spurs Brazil]

TD dunk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bdictjames]

This is a bit slow.

Go Spurs!!! Fabricio is grabbing them offensive boards eh.

[loveforthegame]

Who's guarding Jackson?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manny - you moving to Canada? What's with the snowflake?

[boutons_]

Looks like Hornets gonna squeak by

[MannyIsGod]

Close enough. Moving to Michigan in the fall.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

My DL2 team has been awesome all year... they get to the Final, now they are SUCKING BALLS. :pctoss

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Close enough. Moving to Michigan in the fall.

For love or money? :lol

[RashoFan]

Sounds like NO is leading Orlando with 6 sec left in the game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley missing today :(

[Amuseddaysleeper]

WTF was parker doing on that last play?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Sounds like NO is leading Orlando with 6 sec left in the game.


NO wins the game

:pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss

[loveforthegame]

Stupid Orlando.

[JohnnySixString]

WTF was parker doing on that last play?


Not passing.

[RashoFan]

Tony's showboating didn't help in that last possesion

[Russ]

Stop the presses! Magic choke!

[Spurs Brazil]

Passs the ball TP

Fuck

[RashoFan]

Tony's showboating didn't help in that last possesion
And then Tony comes back with a deux....Manu and Tony are both making up when the mess up...

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!1

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

go spurs go! :smokin

[loveforthegame]

Finley missing today :(

Hopefully he can hit a few more tonight.

[Warlord23]

SJax having a horrible time shooting the ball so far... Manu from Fin!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu from Finley!!!!!!!

Spurs up 10

[mystargtr34]

This is beautiful defense

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Too bad Finley is settling for 3 pointers. He needs to take a step or two in and try that. At least he has 3 assists and he to come down from 60% shooting some time.

[marini martini]

OMG! Did anyone see the commercial with the stuffed bobcat, from McBee's in N.B.? LOL!

[DAF86]

NO won by 1? fuck! did someone watched that game? was it a last shot game?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

NO won by 1? fuck! did someone watched that game? was it a last shot game?


Magic choked


wasn't a last shot game, but Paul missed both FT's with 6 seconds left, and dooling took a tough shot and missed

[Allanon]

Magic choked in the 4th, they had a 10+ point lead most of the game. Hornets overtook them and then it was back and forth the rest of the quarter. Hedo brought the Magic within 1 with about 10 seconds then they fouled the Hornets

CP3 missed 2 foul shots in a row with 5 seconds left, Magic missed the game winner.

[DAF86]

Manu 5/8 fg 11pts. in 14 min
Finley 2/7 fg 7pts. in 20 min.

That's what i don't like 'bout the whole manu coming off the bench thing. He plays less minutes. Manu should never play less minutes than Finley specially if his playing good. Pop should re-look his rotation to find more minutes for Manu.
I'm ok with Manu coming off the bench but i'm not ok with him playing 28 min per game.

[milkyway21]

terrible. the Hornets won again. 1 pt game :wtf

[DAF86]

Fuck! that's even worst than a buzzer beatter

[mystargtr34]

Farkkk if anyone has a link to the game can u pm me that link is terrible

[RashoFan]

Fin to Manu!!!

[RashoFan]

TP for deux pts

[Jimcs50]

NO won by 1? fuck! did someone watched that game? was it a last shot game?

Peja hit a 3.


:bang

[RashoFan]

:madrun
back and forth

[boutons_]

some crazy possesions on both ends. settle down

[Warlord23]

Can we stop turning the ball over?

[mystargtr34]

Peja just got abused all game by Hedo... i mean that was just a mis match... Peja was just burned every time on D ... missed all his open looks then hit that one shot at the end.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Either Manu's passing is sloppy today or the Warriors read him very well.

[loveforthegame]

I leave for a few minutes and this happens. WTF!!

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

come on Spurs.......Pick it up!

[DAF86]

wow! 5 TO allready for Manu that's ugly

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sean, it's a DROP STEP.

[DAF86]

Manu should shot every time he touches the ball and stop trying to pass.
7/11 fg and 5 TOs

[JohnnySixString]

The Spurs were playing well. So naturally they decided to tone it down a little before we forgot who we were watching.

[spursfan09]

TP is looking good. That sucks for the rest of the league

[duncan228]

come on Spurs.......Pick it up!

You're one of my favorite non-Spurs fans here.
Thought I'd share that. :)

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

:lol thanks.......

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 3333333333333333333333333

Ime, good read on that alley oop setup and stopping it!!!

Bruuuuuuuuce!!!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

damn 70-65 to the nuggs with both teams on a b2b


:lol

good luck DEN :tu

[mystargtr34]

Nice shot Bruce

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fin is an empty uniform tonight, but he's playing lots of minutes... (we really need Brent to come back!)

Too much jumpshooting that Q, not enough penetration. They have no shotblocker, go AT them!

[RashoFan]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccccccccccceeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeee!!!!
for aother 33333333333333333333!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 33333333333333333333333333

[mystargtr34]

Bruce for 3.... and a jump ball....

[loveforthegame]

I'm not worried about Finley tonight since he has a couple rebounds and 4 assists. He's not letting the poor shooting affect other areas of the game at least.

[mystargtr34]

Baron Davis the little piunk bitch ... Ohe dives in and cleans up Parker... then Oberto goes for the ball and Davis shoves him.

[boutons_]

I give Baron a pass on that, I bet that hurt on his knee. ouch.

Who wouldn't be super-sensitive about a troublesome knee?

[Warlord23]

Manu turning it over again :(

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck, another TO

[mrsmaalox]

Someone mentioned it earlier, and I agree, the Warriors uniforms are the most attractive. :)

[Spurs Brazil]

TP!!!!!!!!!!

Spurs up 11

[RashoFan]

I give Baron a pass on that, I bet that hurt on his knee. ouch.

Who wouldn't be super-sensitive about a troublesome knee?
Sean Elliott and Bill Land had metioned that.... I know that I get real protective of an injured joint and will get real defensive myself.

[mystargtr34]

Baron shoulder barged TP out the way... thats a foul there...then Oberto went for the ball... and wer on fire

[loveforthegame]

Great finish to the quarter after letting GS back into the game.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[duncan228]

The Spurs have been told that NO won.
They will win this.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

TP is the man! Just blow them out in the 1st few minutes of the 4th qtr.

I have no illusions that the Warriors will quit, just the opposite.

perfect start. Bye Warriors

[ducks]

keep starters on the bench save them for utah

[milkyway21]

looks like the Nuggets will lose this one...2 in a row

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

10 games ago I thought the Spurs had left it too late to start their run for the playoffs, but I was dead wrong. They've timed it perfectly and the team is really rounding into shape now.

My only concern is that the D, while it has improved, is not yet at Championship level. But maybe that's the final step...

:tu

[TampaDude]

Just checking in here...can't even find the game on TV or the usual site...Spurs up by 21 now...holy shit...they are bitchslapping the Warriors...

[spursrocksocks]

I credit bonner with the game winner lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Remember that GS did the same to us, and the 3rd game was taken over by BD and Jax in the 4th.

Warriors are still dangerous, we saw their poorest game tonight. But they can't stop Tim, and that is a good sign... :)
