Spurs @ Hornets Game 1 Blog

[T Park]

I don't know how the hell you guard the guy when he plays like that.

West is unreal.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

And the Hornets are not going to allow Duncan to do much in this series because of the double teams so when he does not take advantage of the shots he gets, we are fucked.

amen

[peskypesky]

Has duncan guarded west tonight?

my dead grandmother could've guarded Duncan tonight.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Glad to see Udoka is getting the DNP-CD tonight while NO lights us up. Good coaching there, Pop. Would Udoka really do any worse than Oberto on West?

[td4mvp21]

Don't worry guys...you'll get allll the calls in San Antonio...that's how it goes ;)

Probably. The officiating in the NBA sucks in general. Too inconsistent. Watch, what are fouls on the Spurs now won't be in San Antonio and expect the Hornets to get called for a lot more. It can never be consistent.

[Quiet Strength]

they dont want to put him on west

Yeah I know that but duncan can guard him alot better than oberto.

[TampaDude]

No defense whatsoever by the Silver & Black. That's why we're losing.

No buckets by TD...that's also why we're losing...

[TDfan2007]

The problem is NO has enough athletes to make life difficult with Manu if he's out there without Parker and Duncan.

Pop needs to shelve his bullshit regular season rotation and recognize he has to have two of the three of Manu, Tony, and Tim on the court at all times.

Man if one were to read your posts without any NBA knowledge they'd think that Pop is the WORST coach in the leauge...tone it down. IF the guys actually played some defense then the offense wouldn't be an issue. David West is hitting, put he's also only being contested by air...

[Budkin]

If we don't gain a bit in the next couple minutes pop needs to get the starters out and start resting up.

[ChumpDumper]

Well, when NO is quadruple teaming you and you've got no one to pass to...or when he's chucking up three pointers eight seconds into the play like Jason Williams.

I guess Scott got into his head.

[WildcardManu]

giving duncan the easy assignment on chandler is killing us by letting our other bigs guard west and get killed

[mVp]

They can't miss WTF!?!?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

LOL Manu ignoring Byron Scott

[Allanon]

Seriously, David West has that midrange jumper down better than anybody.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Personally, I love David West. I hate that he's killing my team, but I love his all-court game.

[dtrain]

Bryon Scott talking shit to Manu....What a chump.

[td4mvp21]

West is too tall for Udoka. He would shoot right over him.

[DubMcDub]

Byron Scott talking trash to Manu = weaksauce. Byron Scott is a cock.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I don't know how the hell you guard the guy when he plays like that.

West is unreal.

Certainly not with Oberto. Yet Udoka hasn't taken the warmups off yet tonight.

[td4mvp21]

Duncan sucks tonight man. Quit playing like a fuckin pussy.

[Ice009]

Keep fighting SPURS. It's not OVER. KEEP FIGHTING.

[TampaDude]

What the FUCK is wrong with Duncan???

[Budkin]

Timmy with another TO.... :pctoss

[tim_duncan_fan]

Damn it Tim! Wake the fuck up!

[Capt Bringdown]

Duncan with 3 rebounds tonite.

3

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Man if one were to read your posts without any NBA knowledge they'd think that Pop is the WORST coach in the leauge...tone it down. IF the guys actually played some defense then the offense wouldn't be an issue. David West is hitting, put he's also only being contested by air...

If you don't like it scroll. Pop is being outcoached tonight. The problem is he's not the worst coach in the league, but he's the worst head coach in the building tonight.

[ChumpDumper]

:lol Berto was fouled too.

[DubMcDub]

Finley is singlehandedly keeping ya'll in this right now.

[Rummpd]

This is pathetic.

[TDfan2007]

Tim's body language is disgusting right now.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

West is too tall for Udoka. He would shoot right over him.

He's too quick for Oberto, but Fabri is still playing turnstyle for him.

[cjjr72984]

David West is a man's man.

[td4mvp21]

Bitch that wasn't a jumpball.

[sting]

Two on hornets, yeah it's rigged.

[peskypesky]

West is too tall for Udoka. He would shoot right over him.

oh, and so he'd make some shots?

[tim_duncan_fan]

I guess is just one of those days where Tim really doesn't give a shit.

[DubMcDub]

What the FUCK is wrong with Duncan???

According to someone else in this thread, he's just playing "soft" like Dirk. You know, that Dirk who averaged 30 and 12 against these Hornets and had to watch the rest of his team shit all over themselves.

[DDS4]

A couple of stops are we're right back in.

[td4mvp21]

He's too quick for Oberto, but Fabri is still playing turnstyle for him.

I know. I'm not sure who the right guy to guard him is.

[Kobulingam]

Duncan's age and lack of athleticism is really showing against the Hornets.

[Rummpd]

It is now or never.

[metalzo]

Probably. The officiating in the NBA sucks in general. Too inconsistent. Watch, what are fouls on the Spurs now won't be in San Antonio and expect the Hornets to get called for a lot more. It can never be consistent.

Yeah it's a shame but at least it generally evens out that way. Also it's at least partially human nature for the refs to want to subconsciously please the home crowd.

[WildcardManu]

can't buy a fucking rebound

[DubMcDub]

Bonzi back to his Spur-killing ways :lol.

[Rummpd]

We cannot win with these offensive rebounds.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Duncan letting Ely work him on the offensive glass. Are you kidding me?

[ChumpDumper]

I actually feel pretty good about this game.

We should be losing much worse.

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan didn't even JUMP for that fuckin rebound. It's not going to come to you dumbass. You have to go get it.

[davemaniscool]

Tim u freaking suck. PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS!

[td4mvp21]

WTF is up with our team tonight? We have played like absolute shit all night. The first half was a fluke.

[peskypesky]

Pop waiting too long to try other players.

[TampaDude]

This is a loss...Spurs have nothing on the D-boards tonight...NOTHING...

[TDfan2007]

usually when Tim's shooting is off he does other things. He isn't doing ANYTHING tonight.

[Rummpd]

Spurs need some stops now.

[DDS4]

Defense dammit.

[Quiet Strength]

Come on spurs keep attacking

[dtrain]

There is still 7 minutes in this game. It is far from over. Chill out.

[Reznor]

damn we're getting killed on the boards

[Spurologist]

Udoka, if anything, would bring some fucking life and passion to the game. He's a decent rebounder, POP

[DubMcDub]

Bonzi AGAIN! Sheesh.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Finley being asked to cover Wells while Udoka sits on the bench. Fuck Pop, just shut it down.

[peskypesky]

I know. I'm not sure who the right guy to guard him is.

Duncan.

[WildcardManu]

Reggie miller needs to stfu you can hardly understand what the skinny fuck is saying.

[tim_duncan_fan]

usually when Tim's shooting is off he does other things. He isn't doing ANYTHING tonight.

He's in pussy mode right now. He does this at least once a series. Hopefully he comes to play next time.

[td4mvp21]

This game is already over.

Are you shitting me? They miss an alleyoop and then you allow them to get a rebound?!

[SpurAddict561]

I'm about done watching

fucknig sad

[Capt Bringdown]

Ah yes, Bonzi Wells A Spurs killer from way back

[TDfan2007]

this game is done...maybe the spurs will show up on monday...maybe not.

[DDS4]

No fire. No energy. Offense rebounds by the Hornets.

It's a loss.

[SpursFanATL]

fuck Bonzi Wells

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Man if one were to read your posts without any NBA knowledge they'd think that Pop is the WORST coach in the leauge...tone it down. IF the guys actually played some defense then the offense wouldn't be an issue. David West is hitting, put he's also only being contested by air...

Pop has coached a HORRIBLE game.

He has continued to run 4-down without running any cutters off it. He has bench Barry and Udoka. He hasn't made one damn adjustment all game. What, he thought we'd magically shoot another 9/14 from 3 in the second half? :rolleyes

Pop deserves all the shit he gets for this coaching performance.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

There is still 7 minutes in this game. It is far from over. Chill out.

This is so over. It's just a question of the final margin.

[Rummpd]

It is over.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Finley getting worked like a $2 hooker while Udoka sits on the pine. Fuck you Popobitch.

[duncan228]

No matter how this one ends Duncan will be a monster Monday. He's pissed at himself, you can see it. Whether Pop adjusts or not, Duncan will. He won't let this happen again.

[td4mvp21]

Duncan.

Duncan's being too much of a pussy tonight.

[DubMcDub]

Ah yes, Bonzi Wells A Spurs killer from way back

He reverted to "normal" Bonzi for a second there, missing that alley-oop, but promptly went right back to Bonzi-against-Spurs mode after the inbounds.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'm amazed Pop hasn't throw down the white flag at this rate

just pitiful

[TampaDude]

Is TD hurt??? He is playing with no energy at all...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

So now Bonzi is killing us - why isn't Udoka in there on him???

[Rummpd]

What a nightmare.

[SAGambler]

I see little hope for the Spurs right now.

[sting]

fuck Bonzi Wells

And Bonzi says Fuck the Spurs.

[hsxvvd]

Fucking weak. Bullshit offensive rebounds. This is pathetic.

I'm going to bed. Game 2 can't come fast enough. Pop better wake the fuck up and get the team playing like have some balls, because this looks more like the Hornets v. Silver Stars...

Weak Bitches.

[boutons_]

I don't like Tim's body language, at all

[Don Quixote]

Down 11, 6 min. to go. Playing awful.

It's getting late. Time to throw in the towel?

[Budkin]

This has got to be the absolute worst Tim Duncan playoff performance ever.

[Quiet Strength]

Well its looking like a loss right now but I'm not worried.. I think the spurs will win game 2.

[DubMcDub]

TD choking at the line. What the hell?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

seriously pop needs to bench duncan now to make an example - if you know you are gong to get double teamed you need to be prepared, stop whining and get out to play.

[td4mvp21]

Game is overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[ChumpDumper]

Pop just should have benched Duncan for being a pussy and Manu for being a dumbass.

The rest doesn't matter.

[hitmanyr2k]

No matter how this one ends Duncan will be a monster Monday. He's pissed at himself, you can see it. Whether Pop adjusts or not, Duncan will. He won't let this happen again.

Why wait until Monday? Get mad now!! There's still half a quarter left in this freakin game.

[Budkin]

Rest the starters for the game on Monday.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

So now Bonzi is killing us - why isn't Udoka in there on him???

Finley came for cheap, I can't bench him[/Pop]

[Spurs Brazil]

Here comes Bonzi

[Rummpd]

Nice brick.

[peskypesky]

Pop being stubborn tonight. Won't make adjustments.

[DubMcDub]

Stupid ass shot by CP3. Spurs are lucky he dumb assed it up on that one.

[WildcardManu]

every shot ends with a blow from the hornets and no foul called

[Vinny Del Negro]

we should trade duncan for west. there's still time to do that,
right?

[SpursFanATL]

holy shit, we hit a three

[dtrain]

Findog for 3!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

ugh

too little too late

[boutons_]

good time hit a few, Michael, don't stop

[peskypesky]

game still ain't over, all you wimps.

[Deuces88]

The Spurs are fucking defeating themselves. Parker is the only one doing shit. WTF? If Duncan was gonna play like that, he should just go back and sit on the bench.

[TDfan2007]

Michael is the only one who's done shit this quarter. Right now Pop needs to sit Tim...he's not doing anything right now.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

i have a headache of listening to the fans booing, I have to make an extra effort to watch the game, they need another katrina (sorry if I piss somebody off but this is outrageous)

[tim_duncan_fan]

This is fucking retarded. We can still win this game and the fucking Spurs are going to quit.

Doesn't make any since...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pop being stubborn tonight. Won't make adjustments.

This is a normal occurrence for him in the post-season. The rest of this series is going to be the same way.

[DDS4]

We need fucking stops.

[01Snake]

ugh

too little too late

There over 5 minutes left.

[boutons_]

come on, we can get this, step it up.

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

holy shit, we hit a three

Holy shit, we hit a basket period.

[td4mvp21]

This loss is on Pop and Duncan. Pop for being a stubborn bastard who refuses to make adjustments and Duncan for being a complete pussy.

[dbreiden83080]

Is there any way to get Duncan 15 plus shots if the Hornets are going to double double double. He got doubled and he was out of rythm tonight.

[Budkin]

Yeah this shit is over. I say take the big 3 out now and let them rest. We're gonna need everything we've got to win game 2.

[TampaDude]

Nice 3 by Finley...unfortunately, the Spurs cannot win this game unless they get some stops, and they have been utterly incapable of doing that in the second half...this is a loss...hopefully, the Spurs can come out strong for Game 2 and get the split.

[bytee]

common guys this Spurs looks goon only on aging team e.g. Mavs, Suns. Welcome back to the reality Spurs can't run and jump with new force(s) on the block.

Its gonna be NO vs LA afterall.

Time to rebuild this team FAST!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

i have a headache of listening to the fans booing, I have to make an extra effort to watch the game, they need another katrina (sorry if I piss somebody off but this is outrageous)

Mute button is your friend forum.

[ace3g]

still don't know why Udoka has not played yet?

[peskypesky]

things don't look good, but believe it or not, teams have come back from bigger deficits than this one. not often, but it has happened.

[Rummpd]

If Oberto/Thomas/Horry can't guard D West, we will lose this series.


Meanwhile we have defensive stoppers on the bench. Sad.

[Don Quixote]

Is TD hurt??? He is playing with no energy at all...

That's what I'm guessing. Is he injured?

[WildcardManu]

i have a headache of listening to the fans booing, I have to make an extra effort to watch the game, they need another katrina (sorry if I piss somebody off but this is outrageous)

I feel the same way, fucking headache from the fans and Reggie Miller's incoherent-mouth-full-of-spit.

[Quiet Strength]

Now the spurs have to give it their all on defense and then make some shots

[dbreiden83080]

This loss is on Pop and Duncan. Pop for being a stubborn bastard who refuses to make adjustments and Duncan for being a complete pussy.

You don't get to call Duncan a pussy and claim to be a fan asshole, shut it.

[T Park]

Just a horrible matchup.

It is 06 all over again.

[MizzouMerlin]

It looks like Duncan has given up for this game, which is painful to say.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fucking weak. Bullshit offensive rebounds. This is pathetic.

I'm going to bed. Game 2 can't come fast enough. Pop better wake the fuck up and get the team playing like have some balls, because this looks more like the Hornets v. Silver Stars...

Weak Bitches.

Dude, it's 2.40pm! :lmao

Are you in the US?

[Spurologist]

i have a headache of listening to the fans booing, I have to make an extra effort to watch the game, they need another katrina (sorry if I piss somebody off but this is outrageous)

even the thought of mentioning another katrina is beyond moronic. It's outrageously stupid and asinine.

[iflyabeech]

I am gonna have to call the whambulance on you whining pussies...have some faith fuckers

[BiZNicK]

This isn't the first time Duncan has been double teamed. That is no excuse for his poor offensive performance.

[td4mvp21]

You don't get to call Duncan a pussy and claim to be a fan asshole, shut it.

playing like*

[BrokerinSA]

Why are we not going back to Bowen?

[dtrain]

I agree that the Spurs don't seem to have the kind of energy that they need to win this game right now, but I still have faith. We are only a couple stops away from turning this thing.

[Budkin]

Tim Duncan should just be fucking ashamed. Worst game ever.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Is there any way to get Duncan 15 plus shots if the Hornets are going to double double double. He got doubled and he was out of rythm tonight.

The problem isn't Duncan getting doubled.

It's that a) he's being a pussy on the shot attempts he does get and going up soft and b) Pop has apparently never heard of the idea of sending a cutter down the lane for a layup and/or is in love with the three ball.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley big 3

Let's play D and get it done

[BOHOLANO#21]

bench that pussy duncan ..

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

You don't get to call Duncan a pussy and claim to be a fan asshole, shut it.

Truth hurts, I know.

[ChumpDumper]

common guys this Spurs looks goon only on aging team e.g. Mavs, Suns. Welcome back to the reality Spurs can't run and jump with new force(s) on the block.

Its gonna be NO vs LA afterall.

Time to rebuild this team FAST!Excellent timing for a first post, douche.

[BiZNicK]

Yeah this shit is over. I say take the big 3 out now and let them rest. We're gonna need everything we've got to win game 2.

wow im glad ur not the spurs coach. We still have a chance to win this

[duncan228]

I haven't seen anything about Duncan being hurt.

[peskypesky]

even if spurs lose this one (and i'm not saying they will) it's still only one game. i mean, look at the pistons-76ers series.

[tim_duncan_fan]

You don't get to call Duncan a pussy and claim to be a fan asshole, shut it.

He IS being a pussy. He's scared to shoot the ball. You can see it in his eyes.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

even the thought of mentioning another katrina is beyond moronic. It's outrageously stupid and asinine.

yeah whatever

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Just a horrible matchup.

It is 06 all over again.

Well I guess we should call it a series, because we all know Pop isn't going to adjust for shit.

[WildcardManu]

I am gonna have to call the whambulance on you whining pussies...have some faith fuckers

the faith is there, if not this game, then we seal game 2. That's all we need to leave NO with just one W.

[tiga]

Pop's not adjusting because he knows the team is playing like crap. Just sit back, watch some NO plays,... endure the loss and see an other SAS back in SA.

[Capt Bringdown]

This is going to be a tough series, that's for sure.

Hornets a much, much better team than the Suns.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

NO is our worst matchup in the NBA, I've been saying that since watching them destroy us twice during the reg season.

However, this is ONLY GAME 1, it's in NO, a MUST-WIN for the Hornets, so let's not give up just yet, eh?

Pop will adjust in game 2... I hope.

[01Snake]

Gimme a fucking break

[peskypesky]

Just a horrible matchup.

It is 06 all over again.

you're an idiot and a quitter. there's no fight in you.

[Deuces88]

Duncan got good looks. He's just not making them. Parker is the only one doing something.

The only upside is that Hornets and West are playing great while Spurs are having one of the shittiest offense games and Hornets are only up 8 with plenty of time to go.

[Ice009]

Great shot Michael. Way to show some heart man.

8 points 5 minutes Plenty of time left. GO SPURS GO.

[SAGambler]

another fuckin foul on a rebound

[td4mvp21]

Hey Duncan, you're gonna have to contest more than that.

[DubMcDub]

Trash shot by Peja :lol.

[DDS4]

Fuck this. Defense is pathetic also.

[T Park]

I guess the people that were against Small ball, now want small ball :lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I haven't seen anything about Duncan being hurt.

Strained vagina.

[peskypesky]

This is going to be a tough series, that's for sure.

Hornets a much, much better team than the Suns.

not

[WildcardManu]

Fducking Zebras Manu Got Fouled

[dtrain]

Foul on Duncan? I must have missed it with the entire NO team climbing on the back of Tony.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Pop's not adjusting because he knows the team is playing like crap. Just sit back, watch some NO plays,... endure the loss and see an other SAS back in SA.

well.. they need to win one at NO

[MizzouMerlin]

Is anybody else tired of all these threes?

[Quiet Strength]

Thats game

[SAGambler]

Knock fin down and no whistle

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Duncan with another pussy half hook. Fuck him.

[Radiosparks]

Timmy better turn it around next game.

[Spurologist]

yeah whatever

sorry man but Katrina has some personal ties to me.

[ChumpDumper]

Manu and Tim continue to fuck up.

[Don Quixote]

At this point, Tim needs to be in there for defense only.

[DDS4]

Shut it down. Hopefully Tim doesn't suck 4 times in this series.

[dbreiden83080]

That's it for me i turned it off FUCK!

[peskypesky]

4 3's and we're tied!!

[boutons_]

Tim's a loser and quitter tonight

Don't do that again

[td4mvp21]

It's just one game, but still...

[dtrain]

Something is wrong. Ginobli should not be missing that many free throws.

[Budkin]

God this game is just maddening... nothing going right.

[dolacheck]

Throw in the towel this game is over. Spurs were NOT prepared at all

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Manu has Peja on him. You've got to exploit that matchup every time down.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

sorry man but Katrina has some personal ties to me.

Yes i put the disclaimer out just in case... there you go.

[DubMcDub]

Some of you Spurs fans are such fucking spoiled little bitches. Calling Duncan "soft" and shit. Dude is one of the least "soft" players in the NBA. Shut the fuck up.

[dbreiden83080]

Strained vagina.

What the hell is wrong with some of you guys, GEEZ

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim hasn't been doubled like this for a long time. It put him off. He will be back next game.

And if pop would run some cutters down the lane it would help him a fuckload.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I just turned my TV off

[td4mvp21]

Fuck Chris Paul. Little bitch sticks his legs out and then acts offended when he draws contact.

[Deuces88]

I was pushing for Spurs up 2-0 going back to San Antonio but Duncan never got his confidence up and the rest of the team is just disorganized and sloppy.

[Spurologist]

Paul is a bitch. His leg was the one that was kicking Bowen

[Budkin]

I officially hate CP3... what a whiny fucking bitch.

[kingsfan]

I just got home and I love what i'm seeing. GO HORNETS!! :toast

[peskypesky]

It's just one game, but still...

Please jump off the bandwagon! Please!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It's over. Pull the starters and let them get some rest for Monday.

[jmard5]

Game over.

[ChumpDumper]

Manu has Peja on him. You've got to exploit that matchup every time down.Peja exploited Manu.

It's just one of those games.

Chalk it up to Hugo.

[boutons_]

17 3rd, 16 in 4th, fuck fuck fuck

[duncan228]

Duncan had a bad night. It happens. He'll come back strong, he always does.
No one will convince me he's soft or that he doesn't give a shit. The man is a winner. He'll leave this game behind him and show up in game 2.

[Radiosparks]

That's why CP is a punk. Tries to cause the contact and then walks away with a cocky attitude.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Chris Paul thinks the world revolves around him.

[Capt Bringdown]

No excuses, but that fucking fire extinguisher fiasco didn't help us at all tonite.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

NO is our worst matchup in the NBA, I've been saying that since watching them destroy us twice during the reg season.

However, this is ONLY GAME 1, it's in NO, a MUST-WIN for the Hornets, so let's not give up just yet, eh?

Pop will adjust in game 2... I hope.

Well we did beat them twice in the regular season too. The problem is Pop is too set in his ways to get creative.

Glad to see Ime and Barry get a combined 30 seconds between them tonight, that worked out well for us.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

this game is pretty much over now - you can see the spurs' faces and manu missing that FT. they just want to go home now.

[boutons_]

this game was not that difficult for the Spurs to win.

[Budkin]

All I know is that I've never seen Duncan not bounce back from a bad game. And this is the absolute worst game I've ever seen out of Timmy.

[WildcardManu]

I just got home and I love what i'm seeing. GO HORNETS!! :toast

Who are you? oh you're that pissy team that lost it's last game of the season to the Spurs. boo hoo

[Don Quixote]

Agreed. Probably the worst big-game that Tim's ever played.

Down 12 with 2:32 to go. It's looking like a loss. Oh well, we'll get em next game.

[SpursFanATL]

I officially hate CP3... what a whiny fucking bitch.

Funny, I was just thinking the same thing. I was worried that I wouldn't hate the Hornets enough this series, but that problem is solved. Fucking piece of shit.

[T Park]

Its like they didn't study any film of the losses at all..

[Ice009]

It's not OVER GUYS. KEEP FIGHTING.

[metalzo]

CP's not a punk and Duncan is not at all soft. It seems all this winning in recent years has spoiled some of you Spurs fans...

[TampaDude]

Timmy, we love ya, but you sucked tonight...

[SpurAddict561]

Duncan is definitely playing like a bitch tonight, Mavs fun

butt out.

[Radiosparks]

Some of you Spurs fans are such fucking spoiled little bitches. Calling Duncan "soft" and shit. Dude is one of the least "soft" players in the NBA. Shut the fuck up.

Thanks bro! :bang

[MannyIsGod]

Tim hasn't been doubled like this for a long time. It put him off. He will be back next game.

And if pop would run some cutters down the lane it would help him a fuckload.

No it woudln't. There is no space in there. Thats why they've had so many open 3s. They either hit the 3s or they get nothing.


This is what happens when Duncan lays an egg. Really disappointed in him this game.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

anyway, i still haven't seen anything very special on the hornets or any indication the spurs will lose these series - that other than Dwest hitting from everywhere. What if all those shots didn't go in?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The sad thing about tonight is if Duncan actually shows up then we win this.

[hitmanyr2k]

Tim hasn't been doubled like this for a long time. It put him off. He will be back next game.

And if pop would run some cutters down the lane it would help him a fuckload.

Tim Duncan has handled double-teams 10x worse than the ones he saw tonight. Even when he wasn't doubled he still wasn't aggressive. I just don't understand him sometimes. Most great players have a bad half and then come out with a vengeance the next half. When Tim Duncan sucks the guy seems to go the extra mile and make sure it's a complete garbage game lol.

[sting]

Yeah, Paul's a punk, one of the nice guys in the NBA. Don't hate.

[peskypesky]

Duncan had a bad night. It happens. He'll come back strong, he always does.
No one will convince me he's soft or that he doesn't give a shit. The man is a winner. He'll leave this game behind him and show up in game 2.

:toast

i agree with you but there's a lot of "fans" here who have no spines and no faith and no belief in the Spurs.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Sucks to see the Spurs lose but its really no suprise coz the Hornets are a damn good team who is young.

I'm sure the Spurs will step up next game.

[ballhog]

Not their night. Haven't played well since the 'ring of fire'.

Duncan had a bad night. It happens. He'll come back strong, he always does.

Maybe the worst game of his playoff career tonight but i am worried about all the double teams. It is going to be hard for him to get up 15-20 shots if they are going to play him like that. He needs to be almost perfect with the shots he does get. Pop needs to make adjustments, Tim needs to be more aggressive, this is going to be a tough series.

[Spurologist]

Some of you Spurs fans are such fucking spoiled little bitches. Calling Duncan "soft" and shit. Dude is one of the least "soft" players in the NBA. Shut the fuck up.

GTFO

Reality is TD has played pussy ball all game long. No rebounding, no passion...it has affected every part of his game.

And when Dirkie is your leader, you would know what soft means. How's fishing working out for you

[Deuces88]

Duncan is in NO WAY soft. He just got off to a really bad start (missed good looks) and his confidence was down the rest of the game. The rest of the team didn't help with their disorganized play. The only people doing something are Parker and, to some extent, Ginobili.

[td4mvp21]

Please jump off the bandwagon! Please!

Why do we have pricks who don't allow any criticism of the team or anything? And since win does being frustrated about a loss mean fans are giving up on the team? You people live in a fucking Spurs world where you're all just circle jerking to the Spurs. They sucked ass this game, they are playing weak, they just suck tonight. So I guess that means I'm giving up because I said that, right?

I agree. STFU on the calling Duncan shit.

Sure TD had a bad game, but he is not "soft" or "shit" - Pop gave him nothing to work with off the doubles, and the rest of the team didn't step up from them either.

This one is on Pop's lack of adjustment in the 2nd half, terrible shooting, bad decision-making, and lack of D.

[T Park]

Missed free throws

Duncan's horrible play

offensive rebounds

horrible defense on peja


thats the story right there.

[DubMcDub]

Duncan is definitely playing like a bitch tonight, Mavs fun

butt out.

How bout I just stay here, and continue to call out the self-entitled segment of Spurs fans who won't give their all-world PF a pass for one bad game?

[boutons_]

now the pressure is on Spurs to get the split Monday.

Absolute necessity not to go back to SA 0-2

[td4mvp21]

God I hate Paul

[dbreiden83080]

The sad thing about tonight is if Duncan actually shows up then we win this.

Manu was nowhere pretty much too

[peskypesky]

can we trade some of our "fans" for you?

[cjjr72984]

Game 1........GAME, SET, AND MATCH!


Chris Paul is THE best point guard in the NBA.

[hitmanyr2k]

That move by CP3 was so nice I wanted the ball to go in :lol

[Spurologist]

Reggie Miller has finally hit the orgasmic notes for the hornets

[itzsoweezee]

spurs are getting embarrassed now, just like two of the other times they played the hornets this season.

[Roxsfan]

spurs are getting abused tonight, wtf

[DDS4]

I'm pretty sure the Spurs will bounce back for game 2.

They can win both home games. Hornets likely would be feeling too good about themselves and Spurs would take advantage. Game 2 is important but the series is not over if they lose.

[ChumpDumper]

:lol where were these fans earlier this year?

[Budkin]

Ok I don't usually bitch about refs but we been getting hammered all fucking night and not a single call.

[BrokerinSA]

I still believe!! It took them a rythem taking move to win the game. I value the Coyote much more than their buzzing bumble bee.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

CP's not a punk and Duncan is not at all soft. It seems all this winning in recent years has spoiled some of you Spurs fans...

You're obviously new here. Duncan played soft *tonight*. I don't think he's a permanent user of Vagisil, just that those of us who have watched the Spurs for many years see him have one of these games in the playoffs, and he plays soft as shit looking for calls.

[td4mvp21]

And Paul gets the rebound

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Yeah, Paul's a punk, one of the nice guys in the NBA. Don't hate.

I think they meant he's acting like a punk tonight... which he in fact is btw.

Dont matter - the spurs like for other to get cocky, then they come from behind and steal your babies.

[SpursFanATL]

The good news is that the Spurs played like shit tonight, and it just cause the Hornets are all that.

I don't go fishing, thanks.
