Vintage Spurs Uglyball

[lrrr]

I actually feel better about this game at half time than game one, even though the game one lead was bigger. This time, the Spurs are leading the rebounding count. Last game they were getting killed on the boards.

If the perimeter guys can get some semblance of shooting touch, the Spurs will be OK.

[Whisky Dog]

The Hornets haven't impressed me at all. The Spurs play is so disappointing. Nobody stepping up to hit or even take the wide open looks. The '07 Spurs would be on their way to a sweep of this team. It looks like the Spurs have never faced a hard double on Tim before. That should be the look they know how to burn like no other. For god sales, wake the fuck up!

Vintage Spurs Uglyball

Exactly. Keep this shit up.

[Steve_Javie]

I totally blew the call on the Billups 3.

[1Parker1]

Parker looks like he's injured or caught Duncan's flu bug. He seems out of it.

[td4mvp21]

Adjustmenst on offense they missed like 20 wide open jump shots out there.

Yeah...we need points in the paint to get us going. There's no way the guards are going to get points in the paint with Tim sitting down in the lane with the paint clogged.

[timvp]

Tony and Manu FVCKING SUCKED in that first half. Even Greg Sutton and Vinny Del Negro have to be embarrassed by that first half performance. Manu is playing like he forgot his basketball IQ somewhere on Bourbon Street and Parker is playing like he's a rookie.

Got damn :pctoss

If the perimeter guys can get some semblance of shooting touch, the Spurs will be OK.My thoughts also

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'm telling y'all, if we ditch 4down (well, exclusively anyway) and get some more pick and rolls going, we'll get rolling on offense and steal this bad boy.

[Deuces88]

Too many unnecessary turnovers. Why do they automatically look for a jumper on offense?

GET the ball to Duncan! He shows he can score before the double team comes and if the double comes, he can pass it out to the open man. Go to Duncan FIRST ALWAYS! Even if he's on the bench! :lmao

[reck21]

Fuck Hugo..why are they still talking about that?

[ballhog]

Played like shit but still ahead by 1. If this game stays close I'm sure the Spurs will pull it out. Nice job keeping NO under 50 by half.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I totally blew the call on the Billups 3.

:clap

Thanks Steve!

[td4mvp21]

Parker looks like he's injured or caught Duncan's flu bug. He seems out of it.

I'm guessing he has the flu, unfortunately.

They're doing better this game. TD is getting the ball out quick and they are swinging it around the perimeter sharply.

[dbreiden83080]

You're as clueless as we are dude. Pop better make some sort of adjustments on offense and the Spurs better wake the fuck up.

What adjustment on offense is going to make Finley or Tony or Udoka or Bowen hit a wide open jumper??? Because they had about 20 of them in that first half, we should be up 10 easy here

[td4mvp21]

Tell Parker and Duncan to cough on Paul and West.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Fuck Hugo!

[Radiosparks]

Missing shots early has rattled them all. They receive the ball and look to pass when they have a open shot. I can see 2 to 3 passes but 4 and 5 every time is ridiculous.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'm telling y'all, if we ditch 4down (well, exclusively anyway) and get some more pick and rolls going, we'll get rolling on offense and steal this bad boy.

We need to get our wings some easier looks going to the bucket to get their rhythm. Bonus, getting Chandler and/or West into foul trouble...

[Spurminator]

We've seen this before. This isn't the first time the Spurs have shot 4% and still been in the game. They're right where we want them.

[nfg3]

What's with Manu? The CoM better pray a good one at halftime. Damn I haven't seen him so out of it ever. He seems frustrated and that silly foul on Paul right before the half.

OK I'm venting.

It's halftime and we have the lead. West is in check and TP hasn't really done anything.

Time to come out in the beginning of the 3rd and smoke them.

[timvp]

I'm telling y'all, if we ditch 4down (well, exclusively anyway) and get some more pick and rolls going, we'll get rolling on offense and steal this bad boy.Disagree. Four Down has resulted in a wide open shot virtually every time. The shooters just need to sack up and hit a couple.

[dbreiden83080]

Yeah...we need points in the paint to get us going. There's no way the guards are going to get points in the paint with Tim sitting down in the lane with the paint clogged.

We need PTS in the paint but if we can't make em pay with open jumpers off the Duncan double teams that we can't fucking win

[dbreiden83080]

Disagree. Four Down has resulted in a wide open shot virtually every time. The shooters just need to sack up and hit a couple.


BINGO!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What adjustment on offense is going to make Finley or Tony or Udoka or Bowen hit a wide open jumper??? Because they had about 20 of them in that first half, we should be up 10 easy here

Get them some easier looks than having to hit a 23 footer to find their rhythm.

[td4mvp21]

We need PTS in the paint but if we can't make em pay with open jumpers off the Duncan double teams that we can't fucking win

True...maybe the Spurs will reverse Game 1. Shoot like crap in the first and shoot lights out from 3 in the second half.

[GinobiliLooms]

I haven't hated a team this much since the 06 Mavs.

[SPARKY]

We've seen this before. This isn't the first time the Spurs have shot 4% and still been in the game. They're right where we want them.

Exactly. Spurs' offense shows up for 24 minutes and they get the split.

[boutons_]

jumpers aren't falling, hornet have shut down the Tim and paint

[alamo50]

32-16 3rd quarter.
Book it..........yes Spurs advantage!!!!

[SPARKY]

Disagree. Four Down has resulted in a wide open shot virtually every time. The shooters just need to sack up and hit a couple.

Yeah, Timmy is handling those well.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Disagree. Four Down has resulted in a wide open shot virtually every time. The shooters just need to sack up and hit a couple.

Look at our shooters, they're all afraid to shoot except for Barry. They pump fake and look to pass.

I have no problem with 4down after they get into a rhythm. But the early misses have shaken their confidence and no one wants to pull the cord from deep.

Get them some easy buckets, get a little flow going, then you can unleash 4down when someone besides Barry has the confidence to step into a three pointer.

[dbreiden83080]

Get them some easier looks than having to hit a 23 footer to find their rhythm.

How much better a look do you want off the Duncan doubles?? Finley had about 4 3's and all day to shoot them, could not hit a single one.

[reck21]

They need to shut Peja up.

The dude is getting easy 3s.

[circ]

wtf i thought this game was on fucking tuesday!!!!

I'm about to vomit

[Quiet Strength]

Disagree. Four Down has resulted in a wide open shot virtually every time. The shooters just need to sack up and hit a couple.

Thats why Barry should get more minutes.. i think he would knock down more open shots than finley, bowen, and udoka combined

[Spurminator]

We got this.

[Spurologist]

Disagree. Four Down has resulted in a wide open shot virtually every time. The shooters just need to sack up and hit a couple.

and i think that in turn might get TD some more space to operate inside.

Spurs need to develop a pick your poison with TD inside. Too many open shots being passed up in the perimeter

[1Parker1]

Just like last game, it's for the Spurs to lose.

Hornets are very beatable.

Can you stop being so damn positive?? It's making me think the Spurs are done this series. Goodness, where's the doom and gloom boutons we all have come to know?? :bang

[reck21]

wtf i thought this game was on fucking tuesday!!!!

I'm about to vomit

I did too.

But trust me you have missed nothing.

Spurs are playing like shit.

[td4mvp21]

Notice as soon as Barry went in the ball movement increased and it resulted in him getting a three....take notice, Pop.

[VaSpursFan]

can manu stop trying to dribble through the double teams this half...they doubling hard and closing any gaps...he's gotta swing the ball

[SPARKY]

We got this.

Indeed.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

How much better a look do you want off the Duncan doubles?? Finley had about 4 3's and all day to shoot them, could not hit a single one.

You've obviously never played ball. The Spurs are 2-12 on threes. That creeps into everyone's heads when they're shooting.

What do you think is easier for most folks to hit to get into a rhythm? A layup or a 24 footer? Do teams start shooting threes when they come out or shoot a couple of gimmes first?

[TampaDude]

The double is working on Timmy because the Spurs' outside shooters aren't making the Hornets pay...if the Spurs start hitting those 3s, it will open up the middle and TP can go to work.

[Kobulingam]

Manu doesn't look right. He's playing like someone who drank too much alcohol before the game.

[GinobiliLooms]

I just want to know why the hell Bruce Bowen is shooting so much. He can't shoot off the dribble. he's money as a spot up shooter but I've seen him try to score off the dribble or the curl like 5 times. Thats not the offense Pop has in mind.

[ballhog]

Inside-out game is the key tonight. Gotta hit those open shots. Guys look like they're afraid to shoot out there.

[nfg3]

Disagree. Four Down has resulted in a wide open shot virtually every time. The shooters just need to sack up and hit a couple.

As in the first game we have had wide open looks and not hit them. the shots are there but we're miising them. We hit those shots and the pressure is squarely on the Hornets. Our missisng shots has allowed them to stay in this game.

[Deuces88]

Can someone tell me WHY BOWEN IS PUTTING THE BALL OF THE FLOOR?!?!

He's there for defense and set 3's ONLY! He shouldn't dribble because he isn't a pull-up shooter. Someone make him stop trying to act like one!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The double is working on Tim because the Spurs' outside shooters aren't making the Hornets pay...if the Spurs start hitting those 3s, it will open up the middle and TP can go to work.

It didn't stop New Orleans from doubling in game 1 when we were 9-13 in the first half.

If we are going to play 4down then Byron is going to take Tim out of the equation and bet that our perimeter players can't beat him. So far he's looking smart. And if we don't either 1) get white hot from outside for four games or 2) make some adjustments, he's still going to be coaching in two weeks while Pop's going to be sipping wine.

That's another reason I want us to do something other than 4down. It plays right into the New Orleans defense, and we need to do something to get them out of their comfort zone and give our guys some easier looks.

[dbreiden83080]

Tony and Manu please show up in the 2nd half because Paul and West are going to

[1Parker1]

Look at our shooters, they're all afraid to shoot except for Barry. They pump fake and look to pass.

I have no problem with 4down after they get into a rhythm. But the early misses have shaken their confidence and no one wants to pull the cord from deep.

Get them some easy buckets, get a little flow going, then you can unleash 4down when someone besides Barry has the confidence to step into a three pointer.

They HAVE easy baskets. Problem is they're hesitating shooting it and then are forced to take a tougher, contested shot.

[Kobulingam]

Did you guys see Barry constantly passing up open 3's (and passing to Parker on the perimeter most of the time)? Parker fucking passed one of them back and Barry finally got the idea and shot the damn ball.

[GinobiliLooms]

Bruce's defense is key, but i think Pop should tell him unless you have a wide open corner 3, pass it.

[Deuces88]

Duncan isn't letting the double team stop him. He's going for the score before the double can happen and no one on Hornets can guard him 1-on-1.

[tchopotulis]

The Hornets are a second half team...so the Spurs are pretty much toast...

[nfg3]

The double is working on Timmy because the Spurs' outside shooters aren't making the Hornets pay...if the Spurs start hitting those 3s, it will open up the middle and TP can go to work.

I'll take a 15 footer right now.

ALl we need to do is make a couple in a row and the fire will spread.

meanwhile.

Hugo The Hornet is the baddest player in this series. The NBA has fined the mascot for causing a 19-minute disruption in Game 1 due to jumping through a ring of fire and damaging the court with conventional fire extinguishers. After the news hit New Orleans, all Hugo the Hornet bobbleheads and merchandise has been sold out. :sleep

[hump]

Like I Said, confidence seems to be a problem in this series

[dbreiden83080]

It didn't stop New Orleans from doubling in game 1 when we were 9-13 in the first half.

If we are going to play 4down then Byron is going to take Tim out of the equation and bet that our perimeter players can't beat him. So far he's looking smart.

Most of those shots we usually hit though. I like the 4 down right now, we get thsoe same shots in the 2nd half i like our chances

[bdictjames]

Jinx post.

Duncan's kinda on today.

[1Parker1]

How the Spurs and Hornets begin the 3rd quarter is going to be imporant. I have a feeling Paul and West are going to come out super aggressive. Spurs need to be ready.

[GinobiliLooms]

I know whats going on. The spurs are thinking too much. I look for that to cease in the third.

[dbreiden83080]

Go Spurs Go

It wasn't his fault, the league should suspend all activities regarding rings of fire. :lol

First 5 min of the 3rd is huge

I've seen Barry and Finley pass up some open threes, and just pass it to Parker instead. We all know how good a shooter TP is throughout his career.

[td4mvp21]

Hopefully the Spurs learned their lesson about third quarters vs. the Hornets after three blowouts. I don't know what more it could take.

Im pretty sure they'd be more ready for it this time.

[Whisky Dog]

The Hornets arent changing shit. It's simple. The Spurs take CARE of the ball, run the offense through Tim, Tim hits the open man off the hard double, the guy pulls the trigger and hits a high percentage... Spurs win. The Hornets won't let Tim beat them, but every other fucking player on this team should be salivating at that.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

They HAVE easy baskets. Problem is they're hesitating shooting it and then are forced to take a tougher, contested shot.

I give up. We're shooting 50% from inside the arc and 21% from outside it. Do some math.

Yet everyone insists we just need to keep shooting from out there. I guess everyone's ready for the season to be over.....

This team can't win a series with Tim Duncan being a non-factor and our perimeter role players being asked to beat New Orleans four times. But that's what Byron has challenged us to do with his hard doubles on Tim, that's what some of you think we need to play into the hands of, and everyone's going to get their wish.

Byron wants to make Bruce, Finley, Barry, Udoka, Manu, Thomas, and Tony to beat him from outside four games out of seven. You guys all want to see us try.

And this team's season is going to end by the end of next week if so.

[SPARKY]

The Hornets are a second half team...so the Spurs are pretty much toast...

The Spurs are an ugly game team, so you might as well call it a night.

[td4mvp21]

Im pretty sure they'd be more ready for it this time.

I thought that last game.

Yeah, Tim looked like he's actually seen a double team before in the 1st half.

[Galileo]

Now we know why Pop canceled practice. Duncan was sick, now maybe Parker or Ginobili, or others. I hope Duncan did some heavy breathing on the Hornets Saturday night.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Most of those shots we usually hit though. I like the 4 down right now, we get thsoe same shots in the 2nd half i like our chances

Yeah, we usually hit them, like we did in game 1 and like we did in the first half tonight....

[Pistons < Spurs]

If you're struggling with your shot, take it to the damn hole. Get the easy layup, or make them foul you. Be more aggressive, and get to the line. It's amazing how making a couple of FT's carries over to your jumpers.

[bdictjames]

I thought that last game.
The Spurs always find game 1 the toughest game, IMO.

[01Snake]

Big 3 with 22 points. Pitiful

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Going back to game 1 we're now 15-45 from three. Yep, we should definitely keep bombing away from three, it's working out well :tu

[TDMVPDPOY]

these spurs arent hungry for the repeat, fok them

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Come on Pistons, that's not the answer. Spurs are shooting 30% from three for the series, that's gold :tu

[Spurologist]

Our time is now.

Lets get this shit

[1Parker1]

Finley starts the game with a clanker off a set play. Happy AHF?

Peja with a 3 pointer at the other end.

[td4mvp21]

Here we go again...Spurs still haven't learned.

[hump]

Starting out badly damn it

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Two weak jumpers to start the half for the Spurs out of 4down. Awesome :tu

Byron Scott is getting owned here by Pop.

[01Snake]

Great start

[boutons_]

fuckin a

[ATXSPUR]

Spurs dont want this series. Simple as that...

[arial]

Here we go again fuck this I'm going to drink it's Cinco de Mayo!

[Don Quixote]

The Spurs had their 3d Q meltdown in the 2d Q tonight. That means we might have a decent 2d half?

EDIT: Quick 5-0 run to start the 3d.

Never mind ...

[Septic]

Glad we came out firing on all cylinders

[Spurologist]

Get FIN the fuck outta there.

[1Parker1]

And the Hornets with a quick 5 points out of the gate, Spurs miss both their shots out of the half. Pop with the TO. Not a good start.

Hornets are a scary good second half team.

[magui86770]

omg..NO Intensity...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Finley starts the game with a clanker off a set play. Happy AHF?

Peja with a 3 pointer at the other end.

Yep, I love watching our shooters shoot across their body. Cutting to the basket on the pick and roll is a much dumber play.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i can't believe Peja from 2002 has return


damn

[peskypesky]

a horrible start to the 3rd...that's for sure...c'mon boys! you can win this if you pull yer heads outta yer arses!

[itzsoweezee]

got damn. can we find ONE spur that can shoot a jumpshot? this is pathetic.

[Sigz]

Wow, what a great start.

Fucking weak ass shit.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great job Finley. Miss a easy one and them lose PEJA ON D

[kent_77]

uh oh. Get Ready its Chris Paul Time!!!!!!!!!!!!

[boutons_]

Tim gets the ball low, then shoots a fadeway hook?
pussy shot,
lean into the basket and take it up strong.

[Whisky Dog]

They look like they're tired of playing basketball and want to go on vacation.

[Budkin]

Shitty start to the half.

[Don Quixote]

SO much for a quick start to the 2d half.

This series is starting to look bad ...

[naico]

This series doesn't look good for the spurs..They seem bruised and beaten up.

[peskypesky]

what happened to Bonner?

[hump]

Are we friggin scared or what?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Spurs dont want this series. Simple as that...

No, simple is four down. Pop loves it, Byron's baited him into going to it exclusively, and we're going to watch our team get swept out of the post-season.

Then we'll get some bullshit E-N articles about how the team is simply old, make some off-season moves, and no one will call out Pop about his stupid offense in this series.

[TampaDude]

Glad we came out firing on all cylinders

Yeah, unfortunately the transmission is in reverse right now...

[peskypesky]

They look like they're tired of playing basketball and want to go on vacation.

they definitely DO look weary

[Spurs Brazil]

Take Finley out and put Brent in

We looked much better with Brent there. Finley is playing terrible

[tchopotulis]

game over

[peskypesky]

um....ouch

[1Parker1]

Another 3. Game over.

[Warlord23]

Repeat of game 1 going on here

[RashoFan]

Damn, I want some oysters on the half shell now...:hungry: :depressed

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I love our offense. I love the contested looks while New Orleans gets wide open at the other end. Fucking awesome.

[Septic]

omg a steal and foul lmfao

[peskypesky]

um....ouch again

[VaSpursFan]

we look like ass

[01Snake]

Not looking good

[arial]

Take Ginobili out he's done.

[1Parker1]

Another Spurs turnover. Hornets blowing this game out.

[tchopotulis]

WOWOWOWWOW....are these the defending champs??

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What the hell? Duncan gets stripped on the low block. That can't happen, 4down is the mother of all offensive sets...

[Don Quixote]

Wow ... maybe the Phoenix series WAS a fluke

[peskypesky]

nice block by Tim!

[rasho8]

Wow this looks familiar

[Budkin]

Can't let them get too far ahead...

[naico]

Spurs can start making plans for the holidays if they cant show the fuck up!!

[hump]

Who's leaving and going to Cinco de Mayo? The Spurs have already left to go join the celebration just a little early

[polandprzem]

Lame LAME play by the spurs

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

4down. Another turnover. Fuck Popovich and all you fucking Popsuckers.

[peskypesky]

umm...ouch again?

[WildcardManu]

fucking sack a bones, give tim a break and call a fucking foul

[itzsoweezee]

spurs have no idea what to do on offense

[Pistons < Spurs]

WTF was that?

[RashoFan]

:wow
Is NO working some Voodoo on us or what???

[td4mvp21]

Peterson jumped over Parker. It's called over the back.

[1Parker1]

How is that a foul on Parker???

[peskypesky]

Tony looks spent

[Warlord23]

How is that a foul on TP? He was standing still there

[Budkin]

Damn this feels like the games in Detroit in 2005.

[BUMP]

Spurs look like they dont even care.

one thing that i like that they're doing is slowing the game down (or trying to) and really limiting the Hornets fast breaking ability

[rasho8]

Loving the refs this game though.

[MizzouMerlin]

And the Spurs second half collapse begins...

[Don Quixote]

I guess New Orleans really IS that good.

This is the season here. The Silver & Black better get it together.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This series is over. P_p_bitch just thinks we need more heart. He can shove his four down set up his sorry ass.

[peskypesky]

thank you, Kurt

[hump]

spurs have no idea what to do on offense

Obviously not on defense either

[reck21]

There is no stopping the bleeding..we're fucked.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Come on Spurs start kickin some Ass or it's going to be troll city.:flag:

[VaSpursFan]

play some fucking D!!!!!!!

[kingsfan]

Spurs look like the inexperienced team out there.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pick and roll gets us an easy bucket. What the hell?

[Budkin]

We're the champs... we need to play like it.

[MizzouMerlin]

Sometimes it seems that the Hornets are just sharper, more focused and want IT more. I'm not used to seeing other teams have these qualities more than the Spurs.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Another pick and roll, another bucket. This doesn't make any sense...

[Don Quixote]

I thought they got the 2d half collapse out of the way in the first half tonight.

I guess it was only foreshadowing ...

[peskypesky]

Spurs clawing back. Sorta.

[hump]

Pick and roll gets us an easy bucket. What the hell?

You think Pop noticed:hat

[peskypesky]

Duncan with the nice jam!

[Budkin]

Spurs look like the inexperienced team out there.

They just looks slow and old.

[Rummpd]

They just cannot miss right now.

[1Parker1]

Mo Peterson owning Parker on defense.

[peskypesky]

wow, imagine if we had guys who could shoot!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn, Manu can't hit. Ugh.

[DubMcDub]

Manu's gotta make that. Ouch.

[VaSpursFan]

mo peterson played like ass all season and now he can't miss...wtf???

[td4mvp21]

You like that you little bitch? Bowen stuffed the shit out of you.

[Don Quixote]

I like the slam by Duncan. More, please.

Seriously, though, what happened to their 1st-half defense, which was pretty good?

[Rummpd]

Spurs 3 of 15 on threes that is the story right there.

[Warlord23]

They're leaving Manu wide open, waiting for the brick

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

You think Pop noticed:hat

Doubt it. That was a broken play [/Pop]

[peskypesky]

sometimes, it's just all about confidence...NO is playing confident and loose, Spurs, not so much

[1Parker1]

I cannot bear to watch this. It's painful.

[WildcardManu]

man, fucking bullshit refs

[Amuseddaysleeper]

*sigh*

oh well

[Don Quixote]

On the bright side, I might win a vBookie for once!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Spurs 3 of 15 on threes that is the story right there.

And yet Pop thinks the solution for our offensive woes is to keep shooting them. :rolleyes After we went 12-31 in game 1. *sigh*

[peskypesky]

there's still time, but we have to get a couple of stops and we HAVE to hit a shot or 2

[1Parker1]

9 point lead all of a sudden.

[td4mvp21]

Spurs are just choking. Looks like nothing changed after a game, a half, etc. Spurs will be lucky to win two games this series if they keep playing this way. Pathetic that this is the Hornets' first year in the playoffs. Absolutely pathetic.

[Sigz]

we lose.

[td4mvp21]

Duncan hit, no call.

[DubMcDub]

How in the world did Duncan miss that with CP3 guarding him?

[rasho8]

Okay are they going to start calling fouls on the Hornets anymore or what?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Duncan gets Chris Paul on him on the switch on the pick and roll and still forces up a pussy little floater. COME ON DAMNIT.

[hump]

We just look like a team with no confidence

[naico]

If Spurs don't win this, then i dont see them winning the series..Its do or die you pussies

[L.I.T]

Strange...feels like the reverse of the Suns/Spurs series.

[reck21]

nana na na hey hey hey good bye spurs..

[peskypesky]

nice move by Manu

[WildcardManu]

thats what spurs need to do, fucking abuse the paint manu and tony

[Budkin]

If Spurs don't win this, then i dont see them winning the series..Its do or die you pussies

I don't think that's the case. Home cookin will get us back in it and then we'll have to win game 5.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

So has anyone noticed how we've abandoned 4down, gone to all out pick and roll, and we're getting some looks in the paint finally? Ain't it funny how that works out?

[WildcardManu]

finally attacking the fucking paint, ABOUT FUCKING TIME

[rasho8]

Finally some driving going on.

GET INTO THE PAINT!!!

[hump]

Manu and TP very afraid right now:lmao

[Don Quixote]

If Spurs don't win this, then i dont see them winning the series..Its do or die you wusses

Absolutely a must-win tonight.

And the Spurs did not bring their A-game.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Four straight shots in the lane off the pick and roll. What the hell is wrong with this team? We need more four down.

[koopa]

i don't get what the fuck they do in the locker room at halftime, take a nap?? how the hell do they suck every fucking game after halftime

[DubMcDub]

Mo' Pete looking all-world :lol.

[peskypesky]

If Spurs don't win this, then i dont see them winning the series..Its do or die you pussies

i wouldn't say that. teams have come back from 0-2 before. why not the defending CHamps?

[Don Quixote]

nana na na hey hey hey good bye spurs..

you're probably right ... but it's nothing to celebrate

[peskypesky]

fuck

[1Parker1]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK Paul with the 3. Up 10. :depressed

[hump]

Manu 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Septic]

If we have to rely on the refs to get us back in the game, we have bigger problems than I thought...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Unfortunately our defense sucks balls.

[hump]

Manu three and then the foul

[magui86770]

Its over...can't buy a 3 point shot.....f@#$

[koopa]

and that was the dagger in this game and in the series

[td4mvp21]

Paul elbows Ginobili and Ginobili gets called for a foul. This is a joke.

[DubMcDub]

Manu 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He missed it you dumb ass.

[VaSpursFan]

manu with the horrible attempt at the double...mo pete looks like an all-star out there

[td4mvp21]

Games already over bitches.

[Spurs Brazil]

Petterson is killing TP. Peja is killing Manu

Go back to normal. Put TP on CP3 and Bruce on Peja

[Amuseddaysleeper]

We're losing to the better team

Simple as that

[itzsoweezee]

this team is so mentally weak

[magui86770]

Just don't see us beating Hornets 4 out of 5 time.... =(

[boutons_]

Spurs 10 - 21 in 3rd

[DubMcDub]

and that was the dagger in this game and in the series

That is possibly the most ridiculous assertion I've ever heard. A 3 pointer to make it a 10 point game in the 3rd quarter of Game 2 is a "dagger" for the whole series?

[1Parker1]

JACKING UP 3 POINTERS :pctoss

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Manu leaves and we're back to 4down. This shit is over. Fuck Pop and his stupid ass fucking offense.

[naico]

i wouldn't say that. teams have come back from 0-2 before. why not the defending CHamps?

Cuz i don't see them showing any signs that can convince me there able to win 4 outta 6.

[Septic]

Every fucking time Duncan gets the ball he's 12 feet out, that's never going to get him points.


and another foul...

[Don Quixote]

um, why are we shooting 3s?

[reck21]

So the Mavs weren't doing anything different then.

The Hornets are just that good. Goodbye

[Galileo]

We're losing to the better team

Simple as that

some of the Spurs players have the flu. We will win this series.

[polandprzem]

The season is over

No fucking way the spurs will win 3 in a row against the Hornets

[Spurologist]

D. West is a bitch

[td4mvp21]

What the fuck is wrong with the Hornets? Sack up Spurs, they are pushing you around and owning the fuck out of you. Grow a fucking pair Spurs.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

He missed it you dumb ass.


:lmao

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Tim getting pissed :wow

Signs of life?

[duncan228]

Maybe this bs will fire them up.

[boutons_]

we just gotta beat this fucking punks

[alamo50]

Take the ball inside damned!!!
