Spurs @ Hornets Game 1 Blog

[clubalien]

if they are up 10 points any game in SA, we need to come up with some ass event to cool them off a little bit. some kind of stupid shit.

like emergecy water hoses going off ,, the spurs would never do that oh wait alamo dome :lol

[Budkin]

Sweet... make em pay!

[Sigz]

Wtf the refs are fucking gay as shit.

The floor is not safe, and the Hornets are hacking the shit outta the Spurs.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck you Bonzi

[davemaniscool]

Spurs should be up by at least 10 if Tim would hit some bennies

[MarceloM!]

This game is becoming something dirty....hmmm

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Time to put in Matt Bonner and have him blow up Chris Paul. Send a message.

[BiZNicK]

wow duncan needs to step up

[peskypesky]

Umm, Tim?????

[Rummpd]

Duncan is doing nothing.

[DAF86]

Manu on fire and Pop takes him out with just 1 minute of play in the 2 Q after a 20 minutes of rest great coaching :bang

[MarceloM!]

uhhhhh

[SpurAddict561]

Tim needs to get it goin, and we need Manu to stay in rhythm

fuck Tim, get it fucking going god damnit

[WildcardManu]

where's the goaltending?

[Budkin]

Fuck how many layups has Duncan missed?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Duncan misses another layup. Gimme a fucking break. Nut up you pussy.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Timmy has missed 3 or 4 gimmes now.

[td4mvp21]

Yep Spurs let's just give the Hornets whatever they want and continue to play passive.

[TampaDude]

Duncan hasn't hit shit so far...

[Budkin]

Shit Manu is off now.

[Armando]

How ironic that Bowen is the recipient of a flagrant foul.

[MarceloM!]

Yeeessss

[Spurologist]

[SpurOutofTownFan]

[Radiosparks]

Raining 33333333's!!!!!!!!

[peskypesky]

Finley For 3, Bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!

[td4mvp21]

Keep leaving us open!!!!! Let's go Spurs, wake up. Duncan get your head in the game.

[WildcardManu]

3 3 3 3 3 3 crapping 3pt D in part of Naw Orleans

[Tigole Bitties]

Wooo!

[L.I.T]

Fuck the hornets.

[MarceloM!]

Another three pointerrrrr. Maybe this is the three pointer night for Manu...

[01Snake]

If TD would start hitting we would be up big.

[davemaniscool]

What is Tim shooting, 1-15?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Get Brent into this game - he'll FEAST on these open looks!

[T Park]

Fuck yeah Bruce!!

[SpurAddict561]

Fuckin Bowen is onnn man

he's such a nice guy he passed up the open one to get Fin dawg some stats

what a swell guy

let's keep this up guys!! Timmy will eventually get himself involved and make his easy shots

[td4mvp21]

Duncan now 1-6. Unacceptable.

I don't know what his problem is, he's been playing bad on both ends of the floor.

[Spurologist]

If you blink, you just missed a spurs

33333333333333333333333333333333

[lefty]

What is Tim shooting, 1-15?

He's 31

[T Park]

FUCK YEAH FIN!!!

WOOOOO


WOOOO

:lol

[Budkin]

What is Tim shooting, 1-15?

I think it's like 1-7.

[jmard5]

Good game, Spurs. Good game!

[Admidave50]

The 3s are saving us so far, Tim must wake up!! He's pulling an egg offensively so far!!

[td4mvp21]

Suck on that Bonzi.

[T Park]

Get Brent into this game - he'll FEAST on these open looks!


For who though :lol

[SPARKY]

New Orleans is toast if they can't close out on the 3 point line.

[DAF86]

Pop fucks up sometimes trying to control Manu's minutes

[MarceloM!]

Come on Pop, let's Manu do the things...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I was looking forward to a good, hard fought series. But the Hornets have been such bitches in this game I just want us to roll their fucking asses.

[WildcardManu]

and I can't wait when the Spurs D clamps down NO

[T Park]

The 3s are saving us so far, Tim must wake up!! He's pulling an egg offensively so far!!


This looks like a classic

Suck ass first half

pissed off dominant second half from Duncan.

[Don Quixote]

What a joke of a city .

Hey now :ihit

[dtrain]

The spurs are pissed. We will take ours in 3s thank you.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Duncan is playing like a doll - he needs to go to the basket strong and also try banking that shot from outside if he can so they open up the rim. He needs to do it a couple times and this game is over.

[armand0]

foam extinguishers arent enough to put out spurs fire

[DAF86]

The 3s are saving us so far, Tim must wake up!! He's pulling an egg offensively so far!!

He's the reason for all the open looks we're getting

[T Park]

I was looking forward to a good, hard fought series. But the Hornets have been such bitches in this game I just want us to roll their fucking asses.


Yeah you knew Bonzi was a bitch though.

[SpurAddict561]

ya we really need Timmy to get it going!!!! fuck man

and wow, if Brent was in there...he'd be killing too

[T Park]

Hey now :ihit


Its a fucking joke, you can't defend it.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I don't know what his problem is, he's been playing bad on both ends of the floor.

It's like he's bought into the David West hype. They've all been makable. I think he's missed one jumper, everything else has been inside of five feet. It's pathetic.

[SpurAddict561]

Block by KT!!!!!!

[davemaniscool]

Tim needs to start joining the rest of Spurs in this game

[Budkin]

KT rules.

[L.I.T]

nice kt!

[carina_gino20]

Now Timmy D just needs to show up. I'm still very worried for the guys though. That was a stupid stunt.

[Radiosparks]

This looks like a classic

pissed off dominant second half from Duncan.

Indeed!

Nice Defense by Thomas.

[lefty]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce

[L.I.T]

and 1!!!

[WildcardManu]

+1 Cp3

[td4mvp21]

Bowen Again And The Foul!!!!!

[SpurAddict561]

holy shit Bowen for 3 and 111111111

[Spurologist]

Bowennnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

33333333333333333333333333333

AND1

[Budkin]

Bowen and 1 for 3333333333333333333333

[SPARKY]

Fuck Yeah Motherfuckers

[Radiosparks]

Oh shit Bowen with a 3 and 1!

[TampaDude]

Bruce for 3...and 1!!!

[mrcoon29]

His.Name.Is.Bruce.

[ballhog]

Bruce is on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BiZNicK]

3 and a FOUL!!!!

Way to stop up bruce!!

[MarceloM!]

Yeeaahhh Big 3 Bowen... great assist from Manu

[WildcardManu]

bowen should just camp back on the 3pt line

[m33p0]

ahhh..... silence.

[jmard5]

4 point play!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yeah you knew Bonzi was a bitch though.

It's all of them.

Pargo leg whipped Duncan in transition.

Parker got blown up on top of the circle.

Ely has been trying to piggy back Duncan.

And then Bonzi.

Fuck 'em all.

[RobSM64]

Bowen!!

[Budkin]

4 pt play for Bruuuuce!

[peskypesky]

Bowen>Reggie Miller

[SpurAddict561]

Bowen with 17 pts you kidding me?

[davemaniscool]

no d in Oberto

[DDS4]

Don't mess with Bruce, Bonzi.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

For who though :lol

Yeah, maybe later... :lol

We really need to find another way to score though, because we'll go cold at some point.

[clubalien]

This is ridiculous. I always thought the pyrotechnics used at games was cool, but there are too many risks. How many times have we seen the arenas filled with smoke for the first quarter of games? And now this. NBA Game Ops needs to put a stop to this type of stuff. There are other ways to entertain a crowd.

We need good safe family fun like strippers.. oh wait did i saw naked ladies i meant cheerleaders and dancers
:hat

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

If Duncan could ever find his nuts we'd be rolling them by 20.

[WildcardManu]

Tp

[lefty]

That fucking music was annoying

Good thing Bruce had that 4 point play :ihit

[Budkin]

Hitting all over!

[Radiosparks]

TP with the J.

[Deb]

Whats the score?

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 33333333333333333333333333 and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[duncan228]

Duncan will be fine. He rarely stays off all game in the Playoffs. If he doesn't hit he'll make himself known in other ways.

[td4mvp21]

It's like he's bought into the David West hype. They've all been makable. I think he's missed one jumper, everything else has been inside of five feet. It's pathetic.

Well that's the good news, they've all been shots he normally makes. It's not the Hornets defense.

[L.I.T]

all of a sudden its on and done for the hornets

[peskypesky]

Bowen is human after all

[WildcardManu]

:rofl air ball

[Budkin]

Great execution!!!

[SpurAddict561]

KT with a jumper

bout time boyyyyyyyyy we need you!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

No Duncan for the last 3 minutes. It's Manu Ginobili time.

[peskypesky]

Hornets defense is AWFUL

[WildcardManu]

score running up

[carina_gino20]

bruce!!!!

[td4mvp21]

Don't give that bitch a tip in KT

[SpurAddict561]

damn, too easy of a putback for Peja

c'mon boys DDDDD

[Budkin]

Pop is pissed about that Peja tip!!!

[davemaniscool]

Peja with a tip in? WTH

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Spurs O is just dismantling NO now - they need to keep pushing and demoralize them.

[mrcoon29]

Yeah, maybe later... :lol

We really need to find another way to score though, because we'll go cold at some point.


Or they start defending our shooters and Timmy goes to work with the extra space.

[td4mvp21]

Yeah I'm not too sure why the Hornets continue to leave us open. But it's pretty much pick your poison. Close off the perimeter and we take it inside.

[BiZNicK]

Spurs sure know how to silence a crowd

I completely forgot there are still fans in the stands, LOL

[Amuseddaysleeper]

It's amazing how when the Spurs start the game up like 11-2 or something they usually end up losing, but in games where they get down big in the opening minutes, they usually end up finishing very strong and with a win.

[jmard5]

Nice shooting night for the spurs so far.

[mystargtr34]

Fuck sake Manu box out

[peskypesky]

like i said an hour ago, i ain't worried by these Hornets at all. after the Suns, this is looking like cake.

[Tigole Bitties]

Time for another Hugo fire show to cool off the Spurs :)

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Slowest fucking game in NBA history...

[T Park]

Kurt Thomas is playing like a fucking stud!

[Admidave50]

Offensive boards by the Hornets are killing us!

[Rummpd]

48-31 since slow start. This is beginning to look like the sweep I predicted could happen or at worst a 5 game thrashing - the Hornets are simply not as good as even the Suns.

[ballhog]

Bowen outscoring the big 3? He was due I think.

[Don Quixote]

Overall, great effort so far. They're making their open looks, which should open things up for Tim in the 2d half.

[SPARKY]

At least Phoenix could play defense. I can't believe I just typed that.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Peja with a tip in? WTH

He's been denied of the 3 so Byron Scott decided Peja should post up

[wildbill2u]

CIA Pop has kept Bowen under wraps all year in order to uncover his offense as a surprise in this series. Not.

[td4mvp21]

It's amazing how when the Spurs start the game up like 11-2 or something they usually end up losing, but in games where they get down big in the opening minutes, they usually end up finishing very strong and with a win.

Slow down now :lol It's still only the second quarter.

[DDS4]

I think the Spurs have taken away the Hornet player's sweet spots.

Great that the Spurs getting the shots they want.

[boutons_]

Great Kurt block of West fadeway jumper. All Night Long.

Bruce pulling out a 3G game like he has done a couple times on the Lakers.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Strange old first half.

West looked unstoppable then disappeared. The Hornets got 6 O boards in the first 4 mins and none since. We can't miss from 3. VERY STRANGE.

[Spurologist]

Bowen is setting up shop in the corners.

All these threes will open things up for TD inside.

[Trainwreck2100]

Phoenix learned not to do this shit 3 years ago

[T Park]

Pop is pissed about that Peja tip!!!


That will be good though, gives Pop a reason to keep lighting into their asses.

[ballhog]

Spurs sure know how to silence a crowd

I completely forgot there are still fans in the stands, LOL

The Hornet's nest has quit buzzin'

[peskypesky]

Offensive boards by the Hornets are killing us!

oh you're so right. we're losing!!

[Budkin]

NO with the sinking realization that this is a different team than they blew out in the regular season.

[carina_gino20]

The Spurs won't be shooting like this all night. Hopefully, Timmy will get it going so we can dump it low on him in the 2nd. And if they keep on leaving us open on three, then yes, free the Mango Tree.

[lefty]

At least Phoenix could play defense. I can't believe I just typed that.

:lol

[td4mvp21]

Would you guys chill out? It's only the second quarter. The Mavs had a lead at halftime in Game 1 and we all know how that game (and series) went. Spurs still have a whole other half to play.

[WildcardManu]

Offensive boards by the Hornets are killing us!

lol love the 21+9+20 under your name hehehe, pretty clever man

[T Park]

Strange old first half.

West looked unstoppable then disappeared. The Hornets got 6 O boards in the first 4 mins and none since. We can't miss from 3. VERY STRANGE.


Kurt Thomas is the reason for David West.

Hes pushing him, blocking his shots, making life uncomfortable for him.


Thomas is playing like a fucking MAN out there.

[Don Quixote]

Bowen outscoring the big 3? He was due I think.

Saying someone is "due" is the biggest euphemism in sports. It's a nice way of saying, he's been sucking it for awhile.

Tim, who is 1-7, is due.
Bruce, when he is 1-7, is at about his average.

[SPARKY]

If Thomas can defend West like this and the Hornets can't rotate out on the perimeter then this series will be over shortly.

[T Park]

Would you guys chill out? It's only the second quarter. The Mavs had a lead at halftime in Game 1 and we all know how that game (and series) went. Spurs still have a whole other half to play.


You did not just compare the Mavericks to the Spurs..

[T Park]

If Thomas can defend West like this and the Hornets can't rotate out on the perimeter then this series will be over shortly.


Agreed.

If Tim can get going inside this is a route.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Dang would have liked to have gotten Manu a shot there, not Thomas...

[Budkin]

Tough shot by West.

[td4mvp21]

3 on Paul. See ya bitch.

[Budkin]

Woot 3 on CP3.

[Rummpd]

3 on CP3!

[mrcoon29]

chris paul has 3 fouls??? wow.

[lefty]

3 on CP3

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Duncan will be fine. He rarely stays off all game in the Playoffs. If he doesn't hit he'll make himself known in other ways.

:tu

Tim Duncan - PLAYOFF WARRIOR.

[Radiosparks]

Take him to the hoop TP.

[Budkin]

Here comes Timmy!

[ballhog]

CP3 can't play D.

[BiZNicK]

CP3 in fol trouble now

how does that thing go.............oh ya

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[lefty]

Wooow wooow

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Tony: He can't guard me!!!

[boutons_]

I'm loving game! a lot things going right for the Spurs

[td4mvp21]

You did not just compare the Mavericks to the Spurs..

In a sense :lol It was to show that no lead at halftime is safe with the Hornets. It's not like the Spurs have never given up a lead before.

[Budkin]

Fucking FTs...

[WildcardManu]

WTF tony, if bowen is making at least 1-2 there's no reason you can't

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Ugh, Parker gotta make them.

[td4mvp21]

:lmao West making runners and fadeaways

[Armando]

3 on Paul. See ya bitch.



Meh Is not like the refs are going to foul out Paul at home.

[Rummpd]

Hold this lead.

[lefty]

Manu and his fucking stepback 3's

[Reznor]

This sucks being at work having to listen to it on the radio although Bill Schoening is great.

[L.I.T]

two nice plays by oberto

[Budkin]

Shit we've gone cold.

[WildcardManu]

and he still kept the ball

[Rummpd]

Make these Oberto.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lol Craig Sager: "we will not see the half time show..."

Thanks for the scoop!

[peskypesky]

Spurs finally fighting for some boards

[TMTTRIO]

Manu's gone cold :(

[SpurOutofTownFan]

man paul can't guard parker wtf

[lefty]

Pop don't put Oberto on West !!!

[SPARKY]

Hugo's been cancelled for halftime.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

WTF? Peja was in the middle of the fucking lane before Oberto even shot. Shoulda been a lane violation.

[Budkin]

Fts rear their ugly head once again!

[td4mvp21]

If we had made all of our free throws we'd be up double digits

[DespЏrado]

Spurs experiencing a little let down when they would normally be hacking Shaq.... It may be subconscious but I was worried for at least a game or two we might struggle closing the first half.

[BiZNicK]

lol funny seeing the fans talking all kinds of shit

[td4mvp21]

Pop you are one crazy man.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

man reggie is pissed now

[Budkin]

Hack a Tyson!!!

[Spurologist]

POP: Hack-A-Tyson

[peskypesky]

lol

[SpurAddict561]

lmaoooo@ Hack a Tyson

[Tigole Bitties]

sweet... Hack-a-Tyson!

[TampaDude]

Hack-a-Tyson!!! :lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

oh PLEASE

hack a tyson? oh god

come on now, Pop

[SPARKY]

ROFL. Hack a Chandler

[Bulwark]

Hack a Chandler

[davemaniscool]

With all the 3's and Spurs are only up by 6. This game should've been more of a rout

[lefty]

Hack a Chandler

[BiZNicK]

oh gawdddddd hack-a-tyson

[gospursgojas]

I am sooo down for this :spin

[WildcardManu]

:lmao don't tell me the spurs are hacking their way to the finals :lmao

[td4mvp21]

Is Miller a closet Hornets fan?

[boutons_]

Tim 1-6, 3 pts, 3 RB

[DespЏrado]

FUCK and on cue

[peskypesky]

Pop, you're killing me. :)

[SpurAddict561]

man I thought we abandoned this shit with the Suns gone...fuck

[Budkin]

And once again we give away free points!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pop with the hackachandler.

Sorry Pop, this is dumb.

[jmard5]

Hack-a-Chandler! :lol

[SpurAddict561]

ya, let's not do that anymore...

[T Park]

Hack a Chandler


STFU Reggie.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Well, that worked out well. Good call, Pop :pctoss

[Budkin]

Gotta score here.

[Rummpd]

Bad end of that half.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

its really something stupid, he hits most of his Fts

[td4mvp21]

Yeah Pop didn't need to do that.

[Budkin]

Damn that would have been so sweet.... we sucked in the last few minutes there.

[duncan228]

Tim 1-6, 3 pts, 3 RB

And 2 assists and 3 steals.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:wtf Someone had both arms wrapped around Tim so he couldn't get the offensive rebound. How fucking obvious does it have to be?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The Spurs hit 9 3's.....yet only up 4


Although we hardly got jack from Duncan, the Spurs better kick up the D in half #2

[peskypesky]

that stupid end-of-the-half "play" with Manu NEVER EVER EVER results in a basket.

[lefty]

:wtf Someone had both arms wrapped around Tim so he couldn't get the offensive rebound. How fucking obvious does it have to be?

:bang

[Don Quixote]

Pretty good half. It would have been nice to make a FT or 2 at the end of the half.

[WildcardManu]

wow 17 first half by bruuuuce

[Armando]

Not again with this Hack a Crap nonsense. Good for Chandler for making the freethrows.

[davemaniscool]

this game sux
- extinguisher bull crap
- no calls

[Tigole Bitties]

All right! I can't wait for the awesome halftime show.

"Synchronized mopping"

[DespЏrado]

Spurs experiencing a little let down when they would normally be hacking Shaq.... It may be subconscious but I was worried for at least a game or two we might struggle closing the first half.

Man I called that the moment Pop went to it. God I hate Hack a shit.
