[ballhog]

Just trying to get in Shaq's head a little.

[peskypesky]

[Budkin]

Come on Spurs!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I don't like this.

We were playing great D.

Shaq will make these.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

ok, even I'm not ok with this Hack-a-shaq bullshit

[Banzai]

lol spurs going to foul shaq from now on?

[Don Quixote]

I see Pop has had his playbook replaced by Don Nelson's.

Time for HAck-a-Shaq!

[naico]

Loved the sound of the rim, when TD dunked it..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I agree with whatsizname - hack a snaq is shiot.

[samikeyp]

off Manu's knee...ugh.

[peskypesky]

[WildcardManu]

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Hell yeah! Barry!

[SpurAddict561]

Barry's calf looked fine on that fast break

[peskypesky]

[WildcardManu]

[lefty]

Duncan what a pass !!!!!!!!!

[TampaDude]

Home run ball to Barry!!!

[Budkin]

Woot Barry!

[peskypesky]

[Pistons < Spurs]

Quarterback Timmy!

[boutons_]

perfect pass from Tim, Brent layup

[Elraptor]

Keep the lead going guys!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn Shaq is hitting, time to quit Pop.

[samikeyp]

Pop....give it up...its not working.

[Spurologist]

I like what pop is doing. He's only hacking shaq when the spurs make buckets

[ATXSPUR]

This game sure is boring. Damn Spurs. *sarcasm*

[WildcardManu]

:lmao snaq gonna get a good work out trying to run from the fouls

[peskypesky]

snaq making them :(

[davemaniscool]

Someone give snaq a twinkie to distract him

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

BAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYY!!!

Ma boy!

[Budkin]

K Shaq starting to make em... that's run it's course.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Seriously, quit fouling him Pop.

[Spurs Brazil]

Barry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[remingtonbo2001]

Let's stop with the Hack-A-Shaq...It's gettin' old.

[polandprzem]

damn pop with Hack a shaq :pctoss

[dg7md]

Hack-a-Shaq in the third, when we have the lead? Dirty-ass playing, Spurs. Seriously, I don't like that at all.

[Elraptor]

:lmao snaq gonna get a good work out trying to run from the fouls:lol

[Banzai]

hack a shaq continues

[peskypesky]

if we lose this, the hack-a-snaq will be quite the suspect

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hack a Shaq is shit.

It should be outlawed.

We were killing them on D - bad tactics, Pop.

[td4mvp21]

Pop Fucking Stop It You're Giving Up Free Points When We Are Up You Dumbass

[TampaDude]

Okay...Shaq is in a groove now...stop this shit, Pop!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Doug Collins absolutely giddy about Shaq hitting. Fuck you, Doug. :flipoff

[remingtonbo2001]

I'd rather play lock down DEFENSE. It works much better for us.

[Elraptor]

if we lose this, the hack-a-snaq will be quite the suspect:lmao:lmao

[Budkin]

No more freebies now.

[itzsoweezee]

just gave away 4 points when the defense was clamping the suns down.

[lefty]

Hack a Snicker

[naico]

Fucking stop the hack a Shaq pop!

[WildcardManu]

Hack-a-Shaq in the third, when we have the lead? Dirty-ass playing, Spurs. Seriously, I don't like that at all.

You either with the Spurs or against the Spurs.

[sprrs]

Nash and Amare out.......the Suns would have serious trouble scoring.....yet Pop decides to give the Suns free points with Hack-a-Shaq:pctoss

[Elraptor]

3rd quarter is almost done, we only got one more :D

[AstroCowboy]

yep, bad karma in the hack a shaq... just let him foul out.

[Whisky Dog]

Pops hack a bitch was brilliant buying a lot of rest for TD and TP

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

While Shaq made the FTs, it did keep Phoenix out of rhythm on offense and gives Tim and Tony more time to rest.

[Budkin]

There we go... stop em with D!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Trust In The D.

[Spurologist]

D'antoni employing the hack-a-manu

[Elraptor]

MANU going to the line.

[Budkin]

Come on Manuuuuu

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Quit the fucking hack-a-shaq NOW!!!

[SpurAddict561]

Hack-a-Manu? hahahah

[dg7md]

You either with the Spurs or against the Spurs.

Don't be stupid, it doesn't take a homer to realize that we want to win honorably, not give Suns' trolls more bait. I want us to win with pride and respect, not cheap ass tactics.

Not to mention it extends out the game. And the fact that he's making them.

[Elraptor]

Makes the first one and the secod one as well!

[peskypesky]

spurs up by 9

[Supergirl]

Hack-a- Manu not working out much better for the Suns

[naico]

Hit those FTs Manu

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Raja trying to start shit with Tim. Little pissant...

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Manu!

[samikeyp]

Don't be stupid, it doesn't take a homer to realize that we want to win honorably, not give Suns' trolls more bait. I want us to win with pride and respect, not cheap ass tactics.

Not to mention it extends out the game. And the fact that he's making them.

:tu

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Doug Collins absolutely giddy about Shaq hitting. Fuck you, Doug. :flipoff

Doug's right though - the rule needs to be changed.

Why didn't Pop trust in the D???

[Pistons < Spurs]

17 rebounds for Duncan now!!!

[Elraptor]

Manu is the new team leader for the spurs in points with 24!

[Budkin]

That's our Spurs baby!!! Stay strong in the 4th!

[dbreiden83080]

9 pt lead, D up play aggressive and lets get this game

[itzsoweezee]

Trust In The D.

cosign

[TampaDude]

Spurs outscored Suns 27-11 in the 3rd...9-point lead...time for full lockdown, Spurs!!!

[boutons_]

great swing 3rd qtr for the lesser team.

[davemaniscool]

Doug Collins absolutely giddy about Shaq hitting. Fuck you, Doug. :flipoff

his wet dream

[SpurAddict561]

let's go 4th...we gotta keep it up like this damnit

no more hacking Shaq though...shit

[Elraptor]

That's our Spurs baby!!! Stay strong in the 4th!:hat

[peskypesky]

well, the hack-a-snaq didn't work so well...but at least we increased the lead

[lefty]

Ginobulus rules

[Pistons < Spurs]

27-11 3rd qtr for the Spurs!

[WalterBenitez]

Manu's neck is hurting Shaq's elbow :D

[Xylus]

Amare Stoudemire and Mike D'Antoni, trying to fuck us over again.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great quarter.

Can we keep it up??? It's all about the D, and keeping on the rim attack.

I feel a couple of clutch Barry 3s coming up...

[Spurs Brazil]

Great D in the 3rd

We must keep this D in the 4th and attack on offense

[MI21]

I just wanna point out that so far Tim is outrebounding a combined Shaq/Amare combo 31-24 this series... How the fuck does that happen?

[peskypesky]

Duncan has ZERO fouls??

[Spurologist]

Doug's right though - the rule needs to be changed.

Why didn't Pop trust in the D???

it's a failed experiment, that's all.

Shaq gets lucky and hits flip shot free throws

[boutons_]

come on, boys, 12 minutes to convince d'antoni who is the superior team.

[spursfan09]

okay now just 1 more quarter!

[Bulwark]

Different team in the 2nd half.

Bruce stepped up and shut down Nash.

Thomas stepped up and shut down shaq.

Fin stepped up and hit 4 jumpers off the curl.

Udoka stepped up with great garbage work.

Everyone stepped up the D by 2 levels.

SPURSBALL.


What really stuck for me was TP's D. He had a few strips down low on Shaq and was really bothering Nash's dribble.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Barbosa 0-7. May that continue!

[td4mvp21]

Wow, was Bell trying to start something with Duncan of all people? Duncan puts him arm around him and pats him on the back. That's just sad, man.

[Elraptor]

Stay alive like we did in the third Spurs!

[Supergirl]

Spurs outscoring Suns 23-2 on fast break points, according to Yahoo. That's amazing.

[duncan228]

17 rebounds for Duncan now!!!

To go with 15 points, 4 assists, 3 blocks, and a steal. :)

[boutons_]

Shaq shooting FT 60%

[Amuseddaysleeper]

please god


let the spurs have enough tank in the gas to finish this game


i would die happy

[ambchang]

Hate that haq-a-shaq tactic, it makes no sense. The Suns were ICE cold in the 3rd, and you give the Suns 5 free points. Fortunate that the Spurs converted in every single possession, so they didn't loose any of the lead (well, gained one point).

D up, the Suns were struggling and tired in the 3rd, stomp on them, don't give them FTs.

[ducks]

pop should not have hack a shaq
suns would have been lucky to get 9 that quarter but he hack a shaq

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I just wanna point out that so far Tim is outrebounding a combined Shaq/Amare combo 31-24 this series... How the fuck does that happen?

Because he's Tim Duncan - PLAYOFF WARRIOR! ;)

[Deb]

The hack a snaq routine slowed the game down, and that is to the Suns detriment, so ole Pop may not be so dumb after all

[WildcardManu]

Don't be stupid, it doesn't take a homer to realize that we want to win honorably, not give Suns' trolls more bait. I want us to win with pride and respect, not cheap ass tactics.

Not to mention it extends out the game. And the fact that he's making them.

Fuck the trolls, don't be too worried about them, they always find a way to say shit.

[lefty]

To go with 15 points, 4 assists, 3 blocks, and a steal. :)

Paul who?

Kobe who?

Kevin who?

[Xylus]

Suns chose a bad time to play their worst. D'Antoni hasn't done anything to help that, either.

[peskypesky]

Spurs big men have to use those fouls and keep Snaq and Amare from making buckets in the post....Duncan has no fouls, KT had 3, Oberto only 2

[boutons_]

Tim has 4 min more than any other spur

[naico]

Good job on defense.
Didnt like the Hack a Shaq thing, but it did prevent the Suns from getting into a rythm and gave the Spurs a breather on defense.

Look for Nash to try dominate this quarter with pick n roll points.

[WalterBenitez]

just a single quarter, please!

[Elraptor]

Ya gotta love Popovich :D

[samikeyp]

4th quarter, Spurs need to take their foot off the gas pedal.....



and put it on the Suns throat.


End this.

[Spurologist]

:lmao

Pop just owned David Aldridge

[ballhog]

Keep the D up. Time for Bowen to shut down that pick and roll on Nash.

[WildcardManu]

:lmao pop

[Elraptor]

Stfu With Hack A Shaq! Lmaoooooooo

[nfg3]

One more Q. Keep moving the ball and run some plays for Finley.

[spursfan09]

The hack a snaq routine slowed the game down, and that is to the Suns detriment, so ole Pop may not be so dumb after all

true. It took them out of an offensive rythmn to.

[hater]

Pop is one scary mofo

[samikeyp]

Pop is hilarious in his interviews. :)

[Elraptor]

w00t! 4th quarter!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

GO SPURS GO!!!

GO SPURS GO!!!

GO SPURS GO!!!

:flag:

[Supergirl]

lets go SPurs, 1 more quarter to keep locking down the D

[gilmor]

hack-a-shaq is to disrupt Suns' offense flow

It's more than shaq hitting the free throws

[WildcardManu]

wow, timmay already got 17 boards

[Elraptor]

Amara you know your going to miss :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

TP and TD on the bench to start the 4th

[Elraptor]

8 Point lead with the ball!.

MANU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR 3!

[SpurAddict561]

Manu tres!!!

[samikeyp]

3!

[peskypesky]

[davemaniscool]

I wish I had a "STFU Doug Collins" button on my remote.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

C'mon Spurs, no letup, GRIND EM INTO DUST.

[peskypesky]

Swarming D again!

[jn77]

[Budkin]

That's my Spurs!!!

[Elraptor]

Nash stfu, trying to slag the ref :lmao

[abelle23]

[dogzofwar]

[hater]

Manu won't let us lose tonight.

[Elraptor]

11 Point lead!

[Spurologist]

Damn.

Bowen should have been DPOY. Nash can't do shit right now

[ballhog]

Manu for 3. Starting to look like WWE out there.

[dbreiden83080]

MANUUUUUU

Stay hot baby come on we need it

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[samikeyp]

I was about to say I don't like this lineup in there for SA but as long as Manu keeps hitting shots...:)

[peskypesky]

man i was praying that Manu would make that 3.....thank you god

[Admidave50]

Manutres, that's right baby

[Elraptor]

i freaking love playoff basketball...they are letting them play.Playoff basketball is so awesome :D

[Bulwark]

:lmao

Pop just owned David Aldridge:lol Pop: "Asked and answered. Idiot."

[samikeyp]

Nash stfu, trying to slag the ref :lmao

Ahh...so when a Suns player does it...its legit but when a Spurs player does it....it's whining.

Cool...glad I got that clarified. :)

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

You can't leave Manu open any more, bitches, the groin is better and he's found his stroke again.

[Deb]

Now, lets get some three bombs and close this thing out

[Supergirl]

I had a feeling this might be Manu's night after he was awarded the 6th man of the year...and after Bowen was robbed of his 14,000,000th DPOY award...

[peskypesky]

Spurs have got to play tough, but keep the game fast

[lefty]

Manu has that killer look on his face :nope

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

similar start to last game = same result........ Spurs will come back

told ya :smokin

Spurs are too predictable.

[hater]

shit come on. a few minutes more. and 2-0!!!!!!

[nfg3]

I bet the CoM is in congregation and rocking tonight! Dude is on fire.

[lefty]

told ya :smokin

Spurs are too predictable.

:rollin

[boutons_]

team defense, and Manu scores 14 4th qtr pts

[TampaDude]

Still a LOOOOONG way to go in this game...I'm not comfortable at all...

[polandprzem]

Keep up with good D

Get TP and TD going

[Budkin]

Gotta keep it up... I've seen the Spurs give up leads bigger than this more times than I'd like to remember.

[SpurAddict561]

i freaking love playoff basketball...they are letting them play.

ya forreal, cuz that was obviously a push by Finley, then a push by Bruce

hahaha we got away with both...fuck it

[Deb]

shit come on. a few minutes more. and 2-0!!!!!!

That D'Antoni pic is so flattering:lmao

[mystargtr34]

Hey what did POP say to Aldridge???????

[milkyway21]

:yield Suns

:lmao

[ludda]

not to get ahead of ourselves, but to think so many were so fucking scared of snaq and the sons!!

[Spurologist]

:lmao :lmao :lmao

D'antoni

"Don't panic GUYS"

[polandprzem]

I'm late to work, good my co-worker knows that

[samikeyp]

D'Antoni squealing like a girl.... :lol

[boutons_]

[Budkin]

At least the Suns shots are a bit off.

[lefty]

Damn, D'Anotoni sounded like an old woman on that Inside Trax :rollin

[hater]

I bet the CoM is in congregation and rocking tonight! Dude is on fire.

:lmao at D'antoni. motherfucker is crying


The church or manu is having a Roman Orgy tonight!

[Banzai]

Spurs are too predictable.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

[Budkin]

[SpurAddict561]

[samikeyp]

[Don Quixote]

I'm going to check out the Suns board.

This will be fun.

[WildcardManu]

lets hope this lead isn't squandered and the sons take us to OT

[Elraptor]

Another Turnover!

[Spܮs⋆R⊗ℂҚ❣]

Manu is on FYYYYYAAAAAHHHHH!!!

[SpurAddict561]

Bowen with the hustle baby!

[Elraptor]

That clock is going SUNS!!!!! AHA! SUCKAS!

[lurker]

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

After hearing D'Antoni in that timeout all I can think of is...


http://asset1.pnn.com/graphics/show/1879/600/image.jpg

[GrandeDavid]

Damnit! Would Udoka stop jacking threes!? Dude can't shoot!

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Nice Play

[mystargtr34]

10:16 SA - T. Parker steals the ball from A. Stoudemire
10:19 PHO - A. Stoudemire steals the ball from B. Bowen
10:23 SA - B. Bowen steals the ball from S. Nash

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Sonuvabitch! That was clean by Thomas. Fuck you Ken Mauer.

[samikeyp]

Good play Kurt!

Make Shaq work.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Udoka has to guard Diaw for the rest of the series.

Bowen has been awesome on Nash.

[Budkin]

Nice block Kurt... shouldn't have been a foul.

[SpurAddict561]

thats ok Kurt

don't get the tech

you're playing him SOLID!

[WildcardManu]

:lmao KT wants to cry

[Amuseddaysleeper]

wtf foul on Thomas!?!?!

[naico]

TP is all over the place tonight!

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto from TP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Supergirl]

Do the refs hate KT tonight or what?

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Clank

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Clang! Basketball gods swat Shaq's first. As I said, fuck you Ken Mauer.

[Elraptor]

Fuckin Shaq.

[hater]

[Budkin]

Keep it up Spurs!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Basketball gods swat his second. Get that shit out!

[samikeyp]

I put KT back in with about 5min. to go

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bullshit call. Thomas blocked that, unless they are calling it on the off-arm body contact.

[SpurAddict561]

Tony with the floattter
