[ballhog]

Nice D on Shaq. Make him earn it.

[samikeyp]

Don't need to hack a shaq....just let him miss on his own. :)

[Elraptor]

Bout time the Suns score :lol

[Banzai]

I'm going to say this game is over..premature I know lol

[Budkin]

Come on Spurs... use up clock!

[Supergirl]

daaaaaaamn, Tp makes it a 17 point lead

but DON'T LET UP Spurs. the Suns can score in buckets if you do. DON'T LET UP

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Geez the rebounding has been great too. I never worry about our boardwork any more.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Parker is a fucking stud!!

[Elraptor]

Wow Amare missed that easy wide open shot

[samikeyp]

Goaltending!

[lefty]

Tony with the floattter

Shaq with the bloater

[Spurologist]

Oberto has played 300% better in the 2nd half

[milkyway21]

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

Bowen has been awesome on Nash.
I agree to that.


:yield

SO WHO'S THE BETTER TEAM NOW, D ANTONI???

[Budkin]

We're lucky Amare's shots aren't falling. That's helping our cause quite a bit.

[Elraptor]

That clock is flying! Woohoo!

[samikeyp]

Oberto has played 300% better in the 2nd half

True.

[Spurologist]

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

:lmao

"Don't panic GUYS"

[samikeyp]

That clock is flying! Woohoo!

Not fast enough for me. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto!!!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Come on Spurs, go for it.

[Budkin]

Come on boys keep it up!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

A stud I tell you! A STUD!! what a fucking pass!!

[duncan228]

At least the trolls will shut up for a little while.

[SpurAddict561]

I've got wood, nobody sit next to me...this game is fucking EXCITING

[SpurAddict561]

tonyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[WildcardManu]

Tp with the J

[Budkin]

TP hittin.

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

SPURS up 17!!!!!

[lrrr]

Can't get access to watch the game. Who is guarding Amare/what defensive looks are they giving him? the guy has scored all of one point after 1/2 time!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Udoka has totally solidified the smallball rebounding.

C'mon Spurs, no jumpers except Barry or Fin, keep grinding inside.

[Supergirl]

I've got wood, nobody sit next to me...this game is fucking EXCITING

uhhh..tmi

[Budkin]

Good foul... Shaq to the FT line.

[Elraptor]

Manu/Parker are tied for the leading scorer :D

[polandprzem]

This team got some heart

[Spurs Brazil]

TP again!!!!!!!!!!!

[milkyway21]

I :worthy: :tu to Pop for sitting down TD & co now that the game is over.

they're not greedy for the stats, you know.

[samikeyp]

I would feel more comfy if Manu was back in there.

[lefty]

Tony with the floattter

Shaq with the bloater

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Can't get access to watch the game. Who is guarding Amare/what defensive looks are they giving him? the guy has scored all of one point after 1/2 time!

Bowen shutdown Nash, so Amare isn't getting the passes.

[Budkin]

Go to Timmay!

[Spurologist]

No shit Doug Collins

Not all 3 stars are going to score all the points

[Elraptor]

I would feel more comfy if Manu was back in there.Yea put Manu back in Pop.!

[Budkin]

Bad shot by TP.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Dumb shot by Tony.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Total props to the role players in the second half. :toast

[WalterBenitez]

:madrun looks good, isn't it?

[WildcardManu]

pop mad

[Budkin]

Someone's getting chewed out on that one.

[duncan228]

I :worthy: :tu to Pop for sitting down TD & co now that the game is over.

they're not greedy for the stats, you know.

Duncan still out there.

[dogzofwar]

give it to him pop...parker needs to calm back down and quit forcing.

[Elraptor]

Total props to the role players in the second half. :toast :hat :toast

[samikeyp]

Good time out. Keep focused and get this game.

[polandprzem]

This team got some heart

Sill need to prove it at the end

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Time for Manu to come in and finish this thing out.

[Budkin]

We should put Manu back in.

[td4mvp21]

I :worthy: :tu to Pop for sitting down TD & co now that the game is over.

they're not greedy for the stats, you know.

The game isn't over. Phoenix has a good enough offense to come back. Let's hope the Spurs keep pouring it on.

[hater]

damn, keep playing the way you were. don't fuck up now

[ballhog]

Pop chewing some ass on Bowen.

[Deb]

Doug Collins falling all over himself in support of the Suns

[GrandeDavid]

Hack a Snack is hilarious! But that wide open three by Steve Gash wasn't.

[td4mvp21]

We should put Manu back in.

[milkyway21]

:tu too for TP's 4 steals

[Supergirl]

ok,who screwed up and let Nash get open for that 3?

[hitmanyr2k]

Tony Parker really makes me sick at times. If this keeps up that lead will be down to 5 in no time. Any reason they can't give Duncan a touch?

[itzsoweezee]

don't let down now. gotta keep scoring against this team, they're too good offensively

[Spܮs⋆R⊗ℂҚ❣]

13 up :wow hold on spurs!

[Elraptor]

Pop. is being smart though :D

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Can't leave Nash open for 3 like that or he'll make you pay.

If they are going to clog the paint, get Barry and Finley in there and station them in the corners.

[ambchang]

The Suns can still come back. Come on Spurs, the last few possessions were terrible, allowing them to get offensive rebounds. Step the D up.

[hater]

put Manu and Finley in there

[samikeyp]

The game isn't over. Phoenix has a good enough offense to come back. Let's hope the Spurs keep pouring it on.

Agreed....that's why that timeout was good. Nice to see Pop still yelling! :tu

[boutons_]

7 mins, play smart, make your shots, and play that D

[Don Quixote]

the Suns can score in buckets


Um ... yeah. Putting the ball in the bucket is kindof the OBJECT of the game. :bking

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pop chewing some ass on Bowen.

Actually he was chewing Tony's ass for the bad shot at the other end.

[Spurologist]

Tony Parker really makes me sick at times. If this keeps up that lead will be down to 5 in no time. Any reason they can't give Duncan a touch?

STFU

Tony Parker has been the best player in the game.

[WalterBenitez]

can anyone kick TP on his balls, just to avoid killing him

[Deb]

Pop called the time on the Nash 3 - he was pissed

[samikeyp]

put Manu and Finley in there

Yes...run some clock, make good shots, get stops...go up 2-0.

[nfg3]

7 minutes left. Play smart and this one is over. Phoenix probably has one more run in them unless we can take the wind out of them in the next couple of minutes. Come out ot he TO and make a bucket.

[Budkin]

Yeah this lead could evaporate in about 2 min if we aren't careful.

[TampaDude]

The game isn't over. Phoenix has a good enough offense to come back. Let's hope the Spurs keep pouring it on.

Yup...only a 13-point lead now...this one's a LOOOOONG way from being over...I'm still not comfortable...this could still slip away...

[hater]

yeah Pop was yelling at TP. He was screwing up on the O

[td4mvp21]

Agreed....that's why that timeout was good. Nice to see Pop still yelling! :tu

I know. The Spurs need to keep their foot on the gas no matter what. I don't care if you're up 20, keep going.

[Spurs Brazil]

It's time to give the ball to TD in the post

[Elraptor]

Put Manu back in the game!

[WildcardManu]

I love how the second half of the game has cleansed this thread of trolls

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tony Parker really makes me sick at times. If this keeps up that lead will be down to 5 in no time. Any reason they can't give Duncan a touch?

They've got 4 guys within 12 feet of the basket.

Need to get some sharpshooters in there and make em pay - BARRY time!

[Elraptor]

Yup...only a 13-point lead now...this one's a LOOOOONG way from being over...I'm still not comfortable...this could still slip away...True, a few more minutes we'll know for sure.

[Budkin]

Timmy blocked...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Let's not bicker, eh?

Tony, Tim, Manu, KT, Barry, Udoka, Bowen have all been great at times.

[Elraptor]

It's almost done, 6:30 left spurs ball :D

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Starting to play some dumb ball again. Come on Spurs.

[boutons_]

manu's 3 hits glass?

[samikeyp]

weak call.

don't freak Spurs....weather the storm and bring this home.

[lefty]

TP

You had an open floater, fuck !

[Elraptor]

manu's 3 hits glass?Surprised me. :lol

[davemaniscool]

time for Amare to do some pushups

[duncan228]

Still a lot of time. Got to keep the pressure on them.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

C'mon, run clock and get to the hoop. Pitch out to corner 3s if necessary. And intensify that D.

[Elraptor]

Amare Fouled!!!!!!

[mystargtr34]

Ahhh come on Tim

[WildcardManu]

both sides are cold now

[samikeyp]

Dammit! Now is not the time to go cold.

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Nice Work

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Manu Ginobili blocking Amare! :tu

[Elraptor]

Ah this game is pretty much done. :D

[hater]

[boutons_]

spurs killing under the basket

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Tony needs to settle down. Damn.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great D. Just awesome.

[Elraptor]

Manu Ginobili blowing Amare! :tuYea good job Manu! :lol

[TampaDude]

Bavetta calls one for the Spurs! :lol

[samikeyp]

Ah this game is pretty much done. :D

no jinxing! :)

[Spurs Brazil]

Great D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[td4mvp21]

I really don't like how Duncan hasn't touched it much this quarter. Let's see what he can do.

[itzsoweezee]

spurs need to keep serious on offense

[WildcardManu]

number 4
numero cuatro

[mystargtr34]

Timmy blocked...

Was it clean.

[Banzai]

lol at the 24 second violation call

[TampaDude]

100 points wins this game for the Spurs.

[Elraptor]

Was it clean.Kinda.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Love the desperation we've seen the entire second half.

I wonder what Pop said at halftime... "*(&^$%$#%^^***(^%$&&^*&(**)(*)^%!!!!!!" :lmao

[Elraptor]

Under 5 minutes!

PARKER!

[WildcardManu]

brrrrrrrrrrrrrr it's cold in here

[samikeyp]

about time!

[WalterBenitez]

WFT is going on with TP?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What the fuck Tony? Pull it out and run some damn clock.

[Supergirl]

FINALLY someone on the Spurs makes another bucket. How long did they go without scoring?

[td4mvp21]

Kurt Thomas...block that. And Spurs, QUIT BEING SLOPPY, SLOW IT DOWN.

[Admidave50]

TP is the MVP of this game

[hater]

WTF are the Spurs doing?????

they need to start milking the clock

[hitmanyr2k]

Someone tell Parker to run some freakin clock!!

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Give it to Parker and get out of the fucking way!

[dogzofwar]

how long does finley have to be open on the 3 point line before parker will throw him ball?

[samikeyp]

Shit Tony! Be fucking smarter than that. You are supposed to be an all-star caliber player....think like one!

[hater]

shit only 11 pt game

[Supergirl]

the refs hate KT tonight.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Get it to Manu.

[Spurologist]

WFT is going on with TP?

30 pts

2 rebounds

7 assists

[Budkin]

Pop needs to chew Tony's head off about clock management.

[TampaDude]

Someone tell Parker to run some freakin clock!!

+1 Time to slow this shit down, Spurs!

[Spurs Brazil]

Slow down TP

[duncan228]

Thomas out.

[Elraptor]

Get it to Manu.Yea i want to see him light up a few 3's right now :lol

[Supergirl]

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

WTF? Great screen by Thomas, he gets called for a late foul. F'in refs :td

[samikeyp]

dammit....KT is out.

[td4mvp21]

WHY IS THOMAS SETTING THAT KIND OF PICK!?!?!? This is really juvenile, Spurs. Calm down and work the clock.

[ballhog]

Nice flop by Bell. LOL.

[hater]

holy shit. come on.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Shit.

C'mon Spurs. make it happen.

[Admidave50]

fucking floppers and these motherfuckers dare to talk smack about FLOP?!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Nine point game. Damn.

[TampaDude]

9-point game...this one's going down to the wire.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck KT is gone

[Elraptor]

Duncan is getting close to the 40 minute mark

[Supergirl]

Damn it lead down to 11. Make that 9. Fuck.

[JustSpurs]

I'm gonna have a heart attack

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Uh, so like I said, get it to Manu.

[Budkin]

We just need to buckle down and use clock and not take stupid shots.

[samikeyp]

shit....here comes that Suns run.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Refs have started whistlefest to help out Phoenix. Spurs need the ball in Manu's hands.

[boutons_]

come spurs, get some points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WildcardManu]

Here come the trolls!!

[TampaDude]

Spurs choking now...

[Supergirl]

WTF is going on? Are the Spurs hacking or are the refs calling everything on the Spurs?

[ATXSPUR]

spurs losing focus.

[Elraptor]

Damn it lead down to 11. Make that 9. Fuck.:depressed

[mVp]

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Mother of God, Pop is going to piss this away going to four down.

:pctoss

[hitmanyr2k]

THis is a repeat of Game 4 from last year. I saw it coming.

[Elraptor]

7-point game5 POINT! NO!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Get The Mother Fucking Ball To Manu.

[TampaDude]

5-point game

[Banzai]

Why are you all so nervous? 91-96..Spurs lead TD going to the line

[JustSpurs]

1-2 run...tense

[td4mvp21]

Finally The Biased Refs Call Something.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Dish out of the double to Barry!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

That should be a T on Amare too for slamming the ball.

[lefty]

Great pass TP

[Elraptor]

Yea that's right Amare...FOUL SUCKA! lol

[Spurologist]

great pass by tp inside

[TampaDude]

About motherfucking time they call one on Stat!!!

[samikeyp]

now 5. Need to get these FT's Tim.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Why are you all so nervous? 87-96..Spurs lead


It's 96-91.

[ATXSPUR]

I knew the Spurs were gonna fuck this lead away. This is reminding me of game 4 of suns series last year.

[hater]

goddam. this is too stressful

[td4mvp21]

Doesn't help that the Spurs gave up that big lead. Disgusting.

[duncan228]

Duncan's got to make these FT's

[JustSpurs]

How much time is left?

[Elraptor]

5 point game, Duncan going to the line - Big shots here. Come on TD!

[boutons_]

Tim, we must have 2 FTs.

[Spurs Brazil]

Go TD

[dolacheck]

Wow anyone else get the feeling the NBA didnt wanna blow out? Funny how few calls there were then bam, all of a sudden at the end now they are calling all kinds of shit? wow

[Crookshanks]

Tim's just not playing too smart these last 5 minutes

[AstroCowboy]

score SPURS score!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fuckin' four down :td Give it a rest Pop, Manu is your damn closer.

[Ice009]

SPURS are fuckingplaying IDIOTIC BALL OUT THERE. PATHETIC. PATHEIC. COME ON SPURS. FIGHT. FIGHT. FIGHT.

[samikeyp]

How much time is left?

2 something.

[TampaDude]

Why are you all so nervous? 87-96..Spurs lead

It's a 5-point game with WAAAAAY too much time left.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oh shit, Tim has been dodgy from the FT line tonight...

[naico]

Man i hate it how the Spurs didn't play with Duncan. They took the rythm out of him.

[boutons_]

Spurs have lost in crunch time whatever they were doing for 1.5 qtrs

[Admidave50]

shit, good pass by Tony, Tim needs to hit his FTs!!

[dbreiden83080]

Tim not playing well at all on O tonight this is all going real bad real fast here

[td4mvp21]

And let's keep Bowen in, ok Pop? Also, RUN A PLAY THAT WILL GET US A SCORE.

[Elraptor]

Duncan's got to make these FT'sIf he makes them, we're in good shape.

If not, we're in small trouble.

[TampaDude]

Duncan MUST make both of these or the Suns will tie the game. Book it.

[WildcardManu]

Timmay make those 2 FT's

[hitmanyr2k]

Tim's just not playing too smart these last 5 minutes

None of the Spurs are playing smart. Bruce fouling Nash in the penalty. Parker with that stupid shot early in the shot clock. Duncan going soft...ugh.

[ambchang]

Pick and roll man, why did the Spurs go away from that? Why?
Bowen on Nash, Bowen on Nash!

[boutons_]

spurs -4 in 4th qtr

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I knew the Spurs were gonna fuck this lead away. This is reminding me of game 4 of suns series last year.

They went 13 possessions without scoring while we hit 12/15 or something, there was always going to be a run by the Suns... can we hold on?

[dbreiden83080]

We're in trouble here you can feel it, Suns are hot and we are ice cold.

[samikeyp]

Timmy has got to recognize the double team is coming and pass out of it.

[Whisky Dog]

Spurs let up big time. Stopped executing on the pick and rolls and let these bitches back in the game. Gotta start executing again and stop being stagnant and forcing things. Get this win Spurs.

[SpurAddict561]

makes sense, dolacheck.

[DDS4]

Tim got mauled the last two times down the court and no call.

Jeebus. No way Amare was gonna get away with that third one.

[Supergirl]

i think i'm going to have a heart attack waiting to see what happens.

[WildcardManu]

increase the lead don't decrease it

[Crookshanks]

man - we had a 15-point lead and then the whistles started blowing :flipoff

[VaSpursFan]

why are we sleep walking now...talk about poor execution

[JustSpurs]

Gut Check Time

C'mon Spurs!!!

[SpurAddict561]

fuck the stat line

you NEED to hit these Timmy damnit

[samikeyp]

2:16 to go.

[itzsoweezee]

i hate doug collins

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pop needs to put the ball in Manu's hands. It's like he's more concerned about getting Tim to 20 points in the game than winning it.

[ballhog]

How about Finley off some screens? I think the Suns have had enough time to figure out the same pick and roll they've been doing for 2 quarters now. Change it up.
