[duncan228]

They're rusty, too many days off. They'll be fine.

[TampaDude]

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Manu's done more in ten seconds than Finley did in five and a half minutes.

[td4mvp21]

Why didn't Tim pass it? Oh well, two shots.

[BiZNicK]

nicee way to start manu,, keep doing that!!

oh and

HERE COMES THE SPURS!

[Rummpd]

Spurs have awoken.

[davemaniscool]

Chandler moved his feet. get over it NO fans

[td4mvp21]

They're rusty, too many days off. They'll be fine.

Good point :tu

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 33333333333333333333

[robino2001]

I didn't watch the Dallas series... is the buzzing artificial crowd noise pumped in?... I heard it a couple of times get much louder than it was and then quiet down again like the sound guy turned the dial too far up or something... If it's all the crowd - props to them... but it seems artificial.

[peskypesky]

call me a homer, but i'm not impressed with the hornets so far. i'm thinking this is a 5-gamer.

[Lakers_55]

lol @ byron scott showing off his rings..

wasn't he just a role player?

he was a starter, but the 4th option behind Magic, Kareem, and Worthy. By the way since I'm here, best of luck to the Spurs in this game and series. Same to the N.O. guests. I want to see nail-biting, heart attack inducing drama every game!

[pauls931]

Chandler moved his feet. get over it NO fans

nash wouldv'e gotten that call.

[td4mvp21]

And 1!!!

[lefty]

Tppppppppppp

[L.I.T]

Oh man!!

[WildcardManu]

wow TP

[TampaDude]

Circus shot by TP!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

beautiful layup by TP!

[BonnerDynasty]

Nice D BOWEN!!!!!

[ATXSPUR]

Parker!!!!

[Spurologist]

Tony fucking Parker with a beautiful reverse layup

[WildcardManu]

it's only a matter of time we start to make those ridiculous shots like the hornets do

[davemaniscool]

someone needs to punk Stokavic

[carina_gino20]

That was akward! :lol Timmy running the break with Fab

[pauls931]

someone needs to punk Stokavic

why?

[Bulwark]

They're leaving Bowen wide open in the corner almost every time down He needs to start making those.

[peskypesky]

spurs haven't even broken a sweat

[DubMcDub]

call me a homer, but i'm not impressed with the hornets so far. i'm thinking this is a 5-gamer.

Homer.

[WildcardManu]

Hornets are feisty, If anything this could be like the Seattle series in 05.

[Spurologist]

KT is the prototypical defender that can give west trouble.

Physical inside and quick enough to keep pace.

Oberto...a homeless man version of that.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Bowen's going to have to be huge this series. It's clear they're going to leave him open and double Duncan every time down.

[peskypesky]

They're leaving Bowen wide open in the corner almost every time down He needs to start making those.

yeah, it's like hack-a-shaq...it's let-bruce-shoot.

[Spurologist]

Bowennnnnnnnn

3333333333333333333333333

[BonnerDynasty]

Bowen Mvp!!!!

[TampaDude]

Bowen feeling it...

[ATXSPUR]

Bowen Is Hot Tonight!!!!

[WildcardManu]

3 3 3 count them 3

[L.I.T]

Bruce!!!! Nice, he's shooting

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Matchup nightmaresville - we got no-one to stop West, and I hate to see what Julian Wright is going to do to us.

Barry and Horry will be crucial in this series. We need SHOOTING.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Someone tell me I did not just watch Oberto airball a layup.

[L.I.T]

Manu!!!

[Spurologist]

mannnnnnnnuuuuuuuuuuuuu'

3333333333333333333333333333

[WildcardManu]

33 count manu's trey

[ATXSPUR]

Ginobili!!!!

[TampaDude]

Manu Tres!!!

[td4mvp21]

Oh...my....God....Jacque Vaughn is guarding Paul. Is Pop retarded?

[peskypesky]

Hornets better start defending our perimeter shooters

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Someone tell me I did not just watch Oberto airball a layup.

:lol :lol


We desperately need KT back in on West


Nice to see Manu start off well :tu

[spursparker9]

chand had 8 rebs already???!!!!
WTFUCK

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

[Spurologist]

[BonnerDynasty]

[WildcardManu]

[Pistons < Spurs]

[duncan228]

Yes! Manu seems to be feeling okay.

[ATXSPUR]

Ginobili!!!! Our Shooters Are On Tonight!!

[L.I.T]

Manu again.

[td4mvp21]

Call The Fouls You Stupid Refs

[WildcardManu]

suck it crowd :lol

[lefty]

Manu you are a STUD !!!!

[davemaniscool]

fans sound like Phx fans

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Manu's off to one of those starts where he's going to end up with a ridiculous stat line.

[BiZNicK]

i think manu is feeling it!

WoOoOoOo

nice pass too

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We're gonna have to hit 40%+ from 3 to win this series if they keep doubling Tim.

[Budkin]

Spurs starting to get shit together! :clap

[hsxvvd]

If anybody have a way I can watch the game here in Australia? I's be a very happy Spurs fan.

PM me.

[Shaolin-Style]

Theres the manu I've missed

[mrcoon29]

eeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!! So far - I'm pleased with our effort.

[peskypesky]

Spurs looking like a buncha veterans...playing calmly, confidently...they don't seem worried in the slightest

[davemaniscool]

Duncan needs to take his time against Chandler. He's getting too excited. He can take him anytime he wants.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I had respect for this team until the moment I heard the crowd booing constantly to the point I can't hear the guys talking. Manu is gonna own this team left and right.

[Budkin]

Gotta love Manu's start.

[DAF86]

Link please!!!!!!! I can't find any

[td4mvp21]

We're gonna have to hit 40%+ from 3 to win this series if they keep doubling Tim.

Yep. It's almost better if a team doubles Duncan with this team...it takes pressure off of Ginobili and Parker and as a result opens up the offense. What hurts the Spurs is when it's Duncan doing all the scoring and doing 4-down everytime.

[ducks]

pop told tnt manu pressed to much last series
looks like he is much better tonight
I expect alot of points from him this series

[Spurs Brazil]

doubles coming on TD every time, we need to make the open shots

Oberto playing terrible so far

Bruce doing a great job on CP3 and also making his shots

Spurs up 4

[duncan228]

Spurs looking like a buncha veterans...playing calmly, confidently...they don't seem worried in the slightest

Championship blood. Poise. They will not get rattled...even if we do. :lol

[Rummpd]

I officially hate the Hornets now after hearing the pregame BS about "just another team standing in our way". Wrong - these are not just any team they are the CHAMPS!

[Tigole Bitties]

Byron Scott is actually doubling TD. Bowen and Manu are making him pay.

[ginobili fan]

I want KFC !!!

[ginobili fan]

Kfc!!!!

[ginobili fan]

I am hungry !!!

[ginobili fan]

KFC oh yeah

[RobSM64]

maan, hornet fans sound like suns fans :P

[T Park]

Gotta keep KT on David West, hes proven to be a fantastic cover on West so far.

[Admidave50]

we are hot in 3-point land, Bruce and Manu have 2 each so far!

[ginobili fan]

I love KFC

[lefty]

Reggie Miller : "That and 1 Bowen had on Nowitzki... "


What a douchebag :bang

[L.I.T]

miller is officially an idiot. Know your recent history

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Manu again! :wow

[td4mvp21]

[boutons_]

That fnckin Manu's feeling it, "On The Road Again"

[duncan228]

Manu going to keep the crowd quiet for us.

[BonnerDynasty]

Good D Horry, just keep hammering away.

[ATXSPUR]

nice way to fuck things up vaughn....

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Gimme a fucking break Vaughn, you are not going to take West and Paul one on two, pull it out and run the offense. Idiot.

[Spurologist]

JV you're not TP

[ginobili fan]

C'mon jacques you're not TP !!!!!

[Trainwreck2100]

dammit vaugn

[peskypesky]

Vaughn is like a SPecial Olympics version of CP3

[TampaDude]

Damn, JV...

[davemaniscool]

someone needs to stop West.

[Rummpd]

Why not bring in Udoka to cover West?

[mrcoon29]

not that I want them here, but where are the trolls?

[Bulwark]

Jacque Le Bleu

[lefty]

Vaughn is like a SPecial Olympics version of CP3

:lmao

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

NO crowd is lame. Booing the whole time the other team has the ball? What is this? Junior high?

[L.I.T]

Vaugh vaugh...Jesus.

Lousy spurs defense there

[peskypesky]

KT back in, thank God.

[Rummpd]

Get Horry out of there!

[mrcoon29]

[BiZNicK]

[WildcardManu]

omg as we go in deep bowen is clutch

[Rummpd]

Bowen and Manu domininating.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lmao Bowen with the double clutch three.


And then we give a layup to Paul :pctoss

[Pistons < Spurs]

Spurs 6 - 10 from 3 in the first qtr!!!

[td4mvp21]

Wow great three by Bowen.

[Trainwreck2100]

that was too easy

[WildcardManu]

Miller is high on CP3

[TampaDude]

Bruce with a huge 3!!!

[boutons_]

3Gs keepin Spurs in the lead.

[davemaniscool]

someone please stop West. Put Tim on him

[Spurologist]

BBBBBBboooooowennnnnnnnnnnnn

33333333333333333333333333333333333

horrible D so far. 333 have kept us in. Paul hits to end the 1st quarter

27-24 spurs

[some_user86]

Paul isn't human

[Trainwreck2100]

Spurs 6 - 10 from 3 in the first qtr!!!

cause they are wide open

[Rummpd]

Spurs fall behind by 8 and lead by 4. Not a bad result.

[peskypesky]

have to give CP3 props for that last second drive. it was positively parker-esque!

[mrcoon29]

spurs slacked off on those last seconds...I hope Pop cracks on them for that bad D at the end of the quarter.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

- the 3 shot is open, they decided not to counter that
- Pop moved Bowen to Peja so the bleeding stopped
- Horry blew 2 D assignments in a row with DWest
- BWells is invisible

[td4mvp21]

Spurs 6 - 10 from 3 in the first qtr!!!

Apparently they want us to shoot threes :lol

[01Snake]

Can these announcers suck CP3's dick any more than they have so far?

[Tigole Bitties]

"WOOOO!" :rolleyes

Hopefully we won't be hearing that too often during this series.

[BiZNicK]

horry needs to be banned from taking 3's

[L.I.T]

I think miller just had an on air hornets-gasm. Mute time!

[Admidave50]

Good first quarter, we are fantastic shooting the 3

[WildcardManu]

have to give CP3 props for that last second drive. it was positively parker-esque!

Dude is fast

[DazedAndConfused]

I wouldn't be happy at all if I"m a Spurs fan. The only shots you are hitting are 3's, those wont keep falling for the rest of the game. The Hornets OTOH are getting easy pts in the paint.

[T Park]

Good first quarter.

A few adjustments here and there, but I'll take it.

[Ice009]

That IS TOO EASY. THE DEFENSE IS non existent. COME ON SPURS. GOT TO PLAY DEFENSE. REBOUND. REBOUND. REBOUND.

[TampaDude]

KT didn't want to foul CP3...probably a smart move...

[WildcardManu]

Good first quarter, we are fantastic shooting the 3

Well either they defend the lane or the 3pt line

[sprrs]

spurs slacked off on those last seconds...I hope Pop cracks on them for that bad D at the end of the quarter.

Ditto. As awesome as Paul is, they made that too easy for him.

[ATXSPUR]

Paul is fast!! West will annoy me this series. Vaughn pisses me off sometimes. Bowen and Ginobili are great. That's what I got from this quarter.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu and Bruce are on fire

Keep giving the ball to TD and make the open shots. I want to see Barry in the game

We must do a better job on West

[manubili]

Those 3s wont fall all night, we'd better play some D against Wells.

[T Park]

I wouldn't be happy at all if I"m a Spurs fan. The only shots you are hitting are 3's, those wont keep falling for the rest of the game. The Hornets OTOH are getting easy pts in the paint.

Nobody honestly gives a shit what you think.

Hit the fucking road.

[td4mvp21]

I wouldn't be happy at all if I"m a Spurs fan. The only shots you are hitting are 3's, those wont keep falling for the rest of the game. The Hornets OTOH are getting easy pts in the paint.

Um, if they are wide open like they have been they will.

[SpurAddict561]

horry needs to be banned from taking 3's

I can't believe you just said that

have you been watching basketball for more than 2 years?

[T Park]

Those 3s wont fall all night, we'd better play some D against Wells.


:lol

Wells is 0-1 I don't think hes the offensive player they need to key on.

[td4mvp21]

Nobody honestly gives a shit what you think.

Hit the fucking road.

I think you put it better than I did.

[peskypesky]

horrible D so far.

not really. hornets are shooting a lower percentage and losing the game.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I wouldn't be happy at all if I"m a Spurs fan. The only shots you are hitting are 3's, those wont keep falling for the rest of the game. The Hornets OTOH are getting easy pts in the paint.

Oh shut the fuck up you fucking homer you know shit about BB

if they start covering the perimeter Duncan will own them.. that's what they decided to do. It's not luck they are hitting 3s, they are all wide open.

Go and drink some milk.

[Ice009]

Pretty good team NO. Gotta play TOUGH to beat them. GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT SPURS.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

- the 3 shot is open, they decided not to counter that
- Pop moved Bowen to Peja so the bleeding stopped
- Horry blew 2 D assignments in a row with DWest
- BWells is invisible

We're going to have to make the three. Byron is going vintage Phil Jackson with the pack the lane offense.

Where the fuck is Udoka? Can we at least try him on West?

[Trainwreck2100]

I wouldn't be happy at all if I"m a Spurs fan. The only shots you are hitting are 3's, those wont keep falling for the rest of the game. The Hornets OTOH are getting easy pts in the paint.


They are getting those shots cause the Hornets have decided to leave the three open. Expect to see the same thing if the Spurs can make the CFs to play the Lakers

[T Park]

That IS TOO EASY. THE DEFENSE IS non existent. COME ON SPURS. GOT TO PLAY DEFENSE. REBOUND. REBOUND. REBOUND.


THe defense is fine.

If they start rebounding then the lead will grow.

The defense was fine, they got quite a bit of second chance points though.

[lefty]

http://mario.lapam.mo.it/ds9/gifs/quark.jpg

[td4mvp21]

The Hornets HAVE been getting too many points in the paint. The Spurs need to address that.

[peskypesky]

i hope horry and barry can get in on the 3-pt shooting festival!

[TampaDude]

LOL at the ring of fire...

[Trainwreck2100]

Now they are sabotaging our side of the court

[T Park]

We're going to have to make the three. Byron is going vintage Phil Jackson with the pack the lane offense.

Where the fuck is Udoka? Can we at least try him on West?

Kurt Thomas.

Don't even think about Udoka on him.

[BonnerDynasty]

What the fuck!!!!

[Tigole Bitties]

WTF kind of bush league arena is this?

[mrcoon29]

holy shit - look at that mess.

[01Snake]

Go and drink some milk.

Or better yet, go back to sucking Kobe's dick.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Way to fuck up the court, Buzz.

[BiZNicK]

The hornets should all get T'd up for this delay of game

lol

[Ice009]

Fight. Fight. Fight.

[bdubya]

This on-court entertainment brought to you by Spinal Tap's stage crew

[td4mvp21]

Udoka is too short for West. Thomas appears to have done the best on him.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Kurt Thomas.

Don't even think about Udoka on him.

I just did, hence the post.

Did you miss West scoring about 3-4 times on Thomas?

[Spurologist]

not really. hornets are shooting a lower percentage and losing the game.

open layup for West.

free lane for Paul.

Overall, it hasn't been that bad but the spurs would not be leading without the 33333.


AND WTF is this fire delay shit????

[peskypesky]

NO up to dirty tricks to cool off the hot-shooting Spurs.

[TampaDude]

What horseshit...not planned my ass...

[ATXSPUR]

Nice fail by New Orleans event staff....

[T Park]

What horeshit is that?

Nice job New Orleans.

Whos their goddamn president, Jackie Moon?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Tony is looking at the fire thing like what the fuck are they doing

[lefty]

Udoka is too short for West. Thomas appears to have done the best on him.

As long as he can hit him in the nuts

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Somebody get the Hornets a zamboni for this shit.

[davemaniscool]

T up NO for this stupid ass stunt.

[jochhejaam]

Get the Zamboni out there

[Spurologist]

I can guarantee that there will be no more fire displays between quarters in NO

[T Park]

I just did, hence the post.

Did you miss West scoring about 3-4 times on Thomas?


Udoka didn't fare well one bit, and he is way too small to guard him.

Thomas is the best one.

Period, thats it.

[Budkin]

WTF is this delay bullshit?

[Bulwark]

They're going to have to mop that shit up

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This delay is all because George Bush hates black people.

[lefty]

Stern will suspend the whole Hornets team.

Let's get that *

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What a freakin joke.

When will these sporting teams learn that most of the fans don't give a fuck about their stupid gimmicks, they just want to see a quality game.

Morons.

[Penya]

Manu, Bruce and the court are on fire

[01Snake]

I missed it. What happened?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Udoka didn't fare well one bit, and he is way too small to guard him.

Thomas is the best one.

Period, thats it.

Udoka didn't fare well? He hasn't played a fucking minute tonight.

[T Park]

Udoka is too short for West. Thomas appears to have done the best on him.


Agreed.

[Trainwreck2100]

I just hope everyone can get through injury free

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop is mad

[carina_gino20]

wtf is up with that floor?

[Radiosparks]

What idiot is running the show at the arena?
