Hornets @ Spurs Game 4 Blog

[ATXSPUR]

btw I would like to see more Barry tonight.

[Capt Bringdown]

Hornets took some punches but are back right in there.
Impressive.

[fightingtiger2335]

Duncan hacked and no call - what a joke.

Might want to look at that again chief...it was all ball....when Duncan doesn't complain you know it had to be clean.

[Rummpd]

The Hornets are quicker than the Spurms.

And the Spurs are far better than the sunspots (and Parker is still the quickest player on the floor and Manu is also very quick and Bowen ran down Paul last game)

[mystargtr34]

Ahahaha.. Pargo!

I gotta give it to ya.... if my team got embarrassed 4-1 and were headed for the lottery... i dont think i could show up to any msg boards and gloat..

Props

[lefty]

Get Finley out of the game. Useless :td

Bring Barry instead

[Spurs Brazil]

It's Barry time

[SouthernFried]

I think the last 8 points have been scored AGAINST FINLEY

[Rummpd]

Udoka or Barry in for Finley - stat doctors orders!

[1Parker1]

Damnit, looks like I was right about Pargo. :pctoss

[ginobili fan]

Put Barry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[phxspurfan]

Anybody else sick of that Dockers commercial? Who goes to work dressed like that?

[btimsah]

I gotta give it to ya.... if my team got embarrassed 4-1 and were headed for the lottery... i dont think i could show up to any msg boards and gloat..

Props

Yeah, because you guys won't lose tonight and the next game to lose 4-1 right?

[ginobili fan]

Funley sucks Big Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Biggems]

why go through all the trouble of bringing Barry back if you are gonna let him waste away on the bench while Finley continues to throw up bricks?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Hornets took some punches but are back right in there.
Impressive.

You can thank Michael Finley for that.

[nfg3]

OK 1 Q down with the lead but I thought we could ahve done better to close out that Q.

Pargo making 3s- unfortunate but I'd rather concentrate on other players. If he continues to hit then so be it. If we lose due to his 3 pt shooting then we lose.

West and Peja haven't hurt us so far.

TD looking good - all in all - good start.

[ginobili fan]

Fuck put Barry instead of Finley!!!!!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Man these Hornets just don't go away. The Spurs gotta play perfect basketball like this for 48 mintues to take down the Hornets.

Are you shitting me?? you call this perfect bastketball?? :rolleyes

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

why go through all the trouble of bringing Barry back if you are gonna let him waste away on the bench while Finley continues to throw up bricks?

Because Finley came for the minimum [/Pop]

[mystargtr34]

Man these Hornets just don't go away. The Spurs gotta play perfect basketball like this for 48 mintues to take down the Hornets.

Yep perfect basketball... 5 Turnovers in the 1st and 17% from 3 ... we just gotta keep up this perfect basketball

[Spurs Brazil]

[WildcardManu]

That trey is for you chuck

[lefty]

Tres!!!

[mystargtr34]

Yeah, because you guys won't lose tonight and the next game to lose 4-1 right?

Sorry? What are you talking about?

Isnt it 2 games to 1?

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Manu will have a monster game tonight, he's got the lift back in his shot.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ginobili fan]

[Spurologist]

[DespЏrado]

[Radiosparks]

Udoka!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SouthernFried]

Thank GOD FInley didnt shoot

[ginobili fan]

Udoka is da man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Great D on Wells, Ime :tu Made him fall on his ass :lol

[Spurologist]

Fuckin Udoka has transformed the game in 2 possessions

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck ye Ime 333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

[phxspurfan]

lol @ no one going to help bonzi up...he had to be helped up by TD

[ginobili fan]

Thank GOD FInley didnt shoot
:lol

[lefty]

Thank GOD FInley didnt shoot

:lmao

[1Parker1]

Ginobili getting too 3 point happy. He needs to drive to the paint.

[mystargtr34]

OMG Ime sighting... and FINALLY hits a corner 3 ....
If theres a time to show up....

[ATXSPUR]

Spurs need to be careful not to fall in love with the 3 and start jacking up anything beyond the arc.

[ginobili fan]

But I don't like when Manu starts to fell in love with 3's

[WildcardManu]

I thought Ime was pretty decent in garbage time during that game 2 blowout

[lefty]

manuuuuuuuu

[E20]

Finger roll.

[ginobili fan]

That's what I want to see Of Manu:penetration!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Great, we have Oberto on West and Finley on Peja. Say goodbye to the lead.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[WildcardManu]

Damn Fabs needs to start invading Wests comfort spot and fuck pargo drawing the foul on Manu

[1Parker1]

How was that an offensive foul?

[ginobili fan]

But I don't like when Manu commits offensive foul

[phxspurfan]

oberto cannot guard west.

[lefty]

Bring back KT !!!

[1Parker1]

Oberto Sucks. Badly on defense especially.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

If Julian Wright is going to be on Manu we have to exploit that matchup.

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn another TO

[ATXSPUR]

Parker (or was it udoka?) was wide open for a corner three. NO got bailed out with that charge.

[Admidave50]

fucking ref, how was that an offensive foul by Manu?!

[Spurologist]

Damn manu and tp have signatures on tear drops in the lane. Pretty much unstoppable

[Spurologist]

Bring back KT !!!

:tu

[phxspurfan]

I want to see a Manu-Oberto Alley-Oop slam!

[BRHornet45]

fucking ref, how was that an offensive foul by Manu?!


sorry, his flop wasnt good enough

[mystargtr34]

Ahh fuck that was a shit sequence ... gotta keep the pressure on... we cant just let trhem get a close shot like that... turn it over and now a another foul..

Its hard to seperate from these guys.

[pku47]

Man these Hornets just don't go away. The Spurs gotta play perfect basketball like this for 48 mintues to take down the Hornets.

I'm afraid you're RIGHT...

[Manudona]

fucking ref, how was that an offensive foul by Manu?!

Unfortunately I believe it was an offensive foul

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

I want to see a Manu-Oberto Alley-Oop slam!

And I'd like to date Jessica Alba.

[nfg3]

Manu misses the 3 - damn it! I know he is going for the dagger with the 3 but I wish he would just drive the lane and stick it down their throats.

[btimsah]

Watch the Suns hire the li'l general Avery Johnson.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Udoka! Nice.

[Spurologist]

UDOKAAAAAAAAAAAAaa

with the drive

[DespЏrado]

This is when I love Udoka. When he only takes good shots he's a really good player.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice block Manu

Ime layup!!!!!!!!!!!

[WildcardManu]

Eat that crow Pargo

[Radiosparks]

Nice move by TP.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Good start, here to play again.

2nd half is the question-mark.

[phxspurfan]

block by Duncan...Spurs by 10

[Spurologist]

get that shit outta here

[WildcardManu]

Denied by Duncan

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Okay, Finley just passed up a wide open J in transition. He's obviously not confident in his shot, get him out of there.

[Spurologist]

Bowennnnnnnnnnnn

33333333333333333333

[lefty]

Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun

[Radiosparks]

Bowen with a 33333333!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

TP layup

Spurs up 10

[Rummpd]

This is Spurs basketball!

[mVp]

Bruceeeeeeeee

[phxspurfan]

...make that 13

[BonnerDynasty]

Udoka is great tonight. Keep him in!

[01Snake]

Spurs Basketball at its finest!

[Red Adept]

if we settle for the trey and they keep falling....there is no hope for NO tonight.

[WildcardManu]

Eat shit Chuck Eat shit Chuck Eat shit Chuck Eat shit Chuck Eat shit Chuck Eat shit Chuck Eat shit Chuck Eat shit Chuck Eat shit Chuck Eat shit Chuck Eat shit Chuck Eat shit Chuck

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 333333333333333333333333333333333

[Spurologist]

Okay, Finley just passed up a wide open J in transition. He's obviously not confident in his shot, get him out of there.

great decision. pop needs to insert Barry

Bowennn

3333333333333333333333333333333333333

[lefty]

Okay, Finley just passed up a wide open J in transition. He's obviously not confident in his shot, get him out of there.

It was a good decision, considering his sucking tonight

[mystargtr34]

Oberto

0 pts
0-1
1 PF
1 BA
0 Rbs
0 Ast

And no one to guard

And yet hes played nearly double the time of Kurt Thomas... fuck me ... thats just incredible...

[fightingtiger2335]

Good time out...need to get Paul back in game.

[Phil Hellmuth]

Please God make this a blowout game, so we don't have to worry about the 2nd half.

[Man of Steel]

[Deb]

Spurs Basketball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BonnerDynasty]

Okay, Finley just passed up a wide open J in transition. He's obviously not confident in his shot, get him out of there.

If he misses it no one gets rebound. I love that he let the offense get set up.

[DazedAndConfused]

Hey Scott you might want to throw your starters back into the game.

[SouthernFried]

Where is BARRY by the way??

[1Parker1]

I really like the Spurs focus and energy tonight. Hopefully they can keep it up for 48 minutes tonight. If they do, I like their chances.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spacing and ball movt again excellent, and D active. Keep this up!

[E20]

It was a good decision, considering his sucking tonight
Also the fact that if you looked at Finley his legs were not set and could not get set in enough time to still be open to shoot the ball, he made the right decision not to shoot, was not in right form.

[1Parker1]

I wonder why Byron Scott is waiting so long to send back CP3. Is he trying to scare his team into a subtle message..ala Pop? :lol

[themvp]

I really like the way Tim is playing right now.

[BonnerDynasty]

Thomas and Udoka man.

Good shit!

[nfg3]

Yeah baby yeah!!!!!!!! This is our type of BB. We need to continue to apply the pressure to hte Hornets.

No coasting and no let up!!! Blow this game wide open and put the doubt in their heads.

Time to apply the screws to these guys,

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why is Fin playing for Barry? Brent's shot is dead-on right now.

[spyder]

Fuck yea!!

[bobbybob0]

Oberto

0 pts
0-1
1 PF
1 BA
0 Rbs
0 Ast

And no one to guard

And yet hes played nearly double the time of Kurt Thomas... fuck me ... thats just incredible...

He's doing fine on D West, chill

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

First time in the series I'm seeing Spurs defense. It almost brings a tear to your eye.

[WildcardManu]

Seems youth is catching up to the Hornets.

[mystargtr34]

Bring Kurt back in ..dont let DWest get them back into the game.

[1Parker1]

Finley you Suck!!!!

[WildcardManu]

:lol Fin sliding under Bowen's legs

[Spurs Brazil]

TP from TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spurs up 41-26

[Spurologist]

FINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNn

shutting me

uppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

[WildcardManu]

Now he has redeemed himself with that J

[Radiosparks]

There you go Finley!

[phxspurfan]

Spurs shooting 62% 43-28

[E20]

Why is Fin playing for Barry? Brent's shot is dead-on right now.
Maybe because Finley was on fire from the field last game?

Plus he's only taken 2 shots so far, no need to blow a vein right now.

[WildcardManu]

Man, Udoka is proving valuable tonight.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Finley!!

[Spurologist]

tppppppppppppppppppppppp

on fucking fire

[lefty]

Bs !!!!

[phxspurfan]

CP3 flinging himself at the Spurs for a foul

[Spurs Brazil]

TP on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This game turned when Udoka came in.

[mystargtr34]

Yea Fin

[Spurologist]

the true color of NO showing. Not used to being down

[Admidave50]

refs always helping your lameass hornets team! die bitch die

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What the hell were we doing on defense on that possession?

[phxspurfan]

Man, TP needs new shoes...hes slipping all over the place

[ATXSPUR]

FINISH STRONG SPURS!! Take atleast a 14 point lead into halftime.

[nfg3]

Bruce's D on Peja is great even thogh he has hit some. Peja is really working for his shots and this effects his timing.

Udoka off the bench has been a very nice lift. Keep it up guys!

[mystargtr34]

TP

17 Pts
4 Rbs
6 Ast

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Maybe because Finley was on fire from the field last game?

Plus he's only taken 2 shots so far, no need to blow a vein right now.

It's not his two misses, it was his non-existent defense.

[BonnerDynasty]

Nate Archibald was on the radio this morning and he didn't even mention Parker when talking about great Point guards in the league.

[Rummpd]

That shot was down and popped out - turn it back on Spurs.

[WildcardManu]

Here come the circus shots

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tony is squaring up beautifully on his jumper. The form is all good.

12-15fters? What is Reggie smoking? 15-18fters.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn NO making a little run, we can't let them get back in this before half.

[BonnerDynasty]

It's not his two misses, it was his non-existent defense.

Agreed

[DespЏrado]

This is the difference a healthy Duncan makes. This is why I called a sweep. It's way to early be confident in anything, but this is a different team from the first 2 games.

[Spurologist]

AND1111111111111111

TDdddddddddddddddddddddddddd

[lefty]

Tim !!!


Fuck yeah !!

[Rummpd]

Tim Duncan with his strongest move of the series!

[WildcardManu]

Late double, Tim abuses and one.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fuck yeah, Tim with the baseline spin. He can do that all day long. Don't wait for the double to come, just go baseline!!

[phxspurfan]

TD spinning And-1

[Radiosparks]

And 1!

[1Parker1]

He's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.

Go Duncan Go!

[duncan228]

Duncan is back. :)

[mystargtr34]

FUCK... again.

[DazedAndConfused]

This series has so many similarities to the Lakers-Jazz one.

Both the Spurs and Jazz looked completely hopeless on the road, neither team could buy a bucket. But at home, both teams were totally transformed. Shots are falling, offense is running smooth. HCA is going to make all the difference in the 2nd round it seems.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[misterx91578]

TIMMY and 1

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This is the difference a healthy Duncan makes. This is why I called a sweep. It's way to early be confident in anything, but this is a different team from the first 2 games.

Well, it does help that Pop finally pulled his head out of his ass and put Bowen on Peja.

[manufor3]

sorry, im late, went to see iron man, it was AWESOME

:flag:

[mystargtr34]

And FUCKING 1

[pku47]

Fuck YOu Chandler!

[phxspurfan]

Jaque Vaughn with the bad defense...Cp3 easy jumper 47-35

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop calls TO.

Spurs up 12

[BonnerDynasty]

Both the Spurs and Jazz looked completely hopeless on the road, neither team could buy a bucket. But at home, both teams were totally transformed. Shots are falling, offense is running smooth. HCA is going to make all the difference in the 2nd round it seems.

And which team has a history of winning big games on the roads?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Duncan shooled Chandler on that beautiful spin move. :D

[lefty]

sorry, im late, went to see iron man, it was AWESOME

:flag:

Iron Man over Spurs ????????

:ban:

[ATXSPUR]

Good timeout by pop. Make sure the Spurs DON'T lose focus and end the half strong.

[DazedAndConfused]

And which team has a history of winning big games on the roads?

Your team has a history of never winning a series after being down 0-2. Next.

[phxspurfan]

Please don't air that stupid Dockers commercial again...

It also doesnt help when ur best player has 5-3 in game 1.

No excuses... just sayin :)

[lefty]

Your team has a history of never winning a series after being down 0-2. Next.

True

But not this season

Hornettes are done

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

THomas is our best David West defender, yet Oberto has played twice as many minutes as him tonight. And West has all six of his points against Oberto. :wtf

[1Parker1]

Hornets are a 2nd half team, Spurs better be careful.

[ATXSPUR]

Your team has a history of never winning a series after being down 0-2. Next.

Do you have a fucking life? I mean seriously you troll this board all day and all night. Why not go to lakersground?

BTW that history of never doing something means nothing. Everything that has been done was never done before at some point. So fuck off with all that.

[DespЏrado]

Well, it does help that Pop finally pulled his head out of his ass and put Bowen on Peja.

True dat. It's night and day, as long as the Spurs keep up with their defensive intensity for 48 minutes they are near impossible to beat.

[Deb]

Bruce with the great happy M day message

[lefty]

Please don't air that stupid Dockers commercial again...

AEcR-5x8xwI

[Sigz]

haha manu.

"It's not mothers day in argentina so it doesn't count for me."

lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damnit Parker pull your fucking head out. 24 second violation because you get it to Manu with one on the clock.

[mrcoon29]

Why does Marv continue to say Mano rather than Manu?? ugh

[nfg3]

Time to hop on board Timmy and ride him. Chandler can't guard him 1 on 1 so let's get this done.

keep the pressure on them. Sooner or later they will crack. We can't let them back in this game and let them gain any sort of confidence out of this even it we bat them.

Time to crush their spirit and mangle them. I'm seeing Spurs BBa nd this is so much fiun.

[1Parker1]

Parker overdribbled in the zone and Spurs couldn't get a decent shot up. :pctoss

[BonnerDynasty]

Your team has a history of never winning a series after being down 0-2. Next.

lmfao get that weak shit outta here

[Radiosparks]

Finish strong!

[lefty]

:lmao at West

[Rummpd]

Great job Oberto!

[mystargtr34]

Your team has a history of never winning a series after being down 0-2. Next.

Well when 'our team' has been so good that weve only been down 2-0 twice in the Tim Duncan era.. you dont get many chances to come back from that sort of defecit...

If we come back this series... well have... a 33% success rate of coming back from 2-0 down... which would probably be one of the best of all time :hat

[Spurs Brazil]

Great block TD

[Spurologist]

Where the fuck is KT

[Rummpd]

What a joke of a call.

[WildcardManu]

bullshit calls, trying to get Hornets back in the game.

[phxspurfan]

wow gay loose ball foul with 1 second on the clock

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Great job Oberto!

Que? Duncan blocked him.

[1Parker1]

THomas is our best David West defender, yet Oberto has played twice as many minutes as him tonight. And West has all six of his points against Oberto. :wtf

I concur. Spurs coaching staff's love off Oberto is puzzling.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The only worry right now is the 61% shooting... can't keep that up.

[lefty]

:lmao at CP3

[Rummpd]

Take it strong Parker way to go!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

WTF? Paul just threw a forearm at Oberto, right after throwing one at Tony.

Come on stripes. Pull your fucking heads out.

[mystargtr34]

Oberto has played 12 minutes and has 0 fucking rebounds...

Come on Fab.. man

[WildcardManu]

Parker packing a mean mug.

[Rummpd]

Que? Duncan blocked him.

My error

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice job TP

[1Parker1]

Wait a minute, CP3 SHOVED Oberto on the other end, blatantly, and no call?!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Paul tried to bulldoze Parker, then when he lost it he took a swing at Oberto. Hope the Spurs send in some tape on that one, it might have even been a punch.

[01Snake]

Fucking FT's!

[lefty]

Wait a minute, CP3 SHOVED Oberto on the other end, blatantly, and no call?!

Princess treatment

[GrandeDavid]

Tony was pissed, I like that!

[fightingtiger2335]

Parker tripped on his feet and got a call.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What the hell are the refs watching? This game is getting out of hand and they have their heads up their asses.

[bobbybob0]

Crazy Face TP is here tonight ;)

[Rummpd]

Duncan feeling it.

[Spurs Brazil]

BS call

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Parker tripped on his feet and got a call.

Well, no one will ever accuse you of being a blind homer :lol

[lefty]

Tony was pissed, I like that!

Pissed and TP in the same sentence ?


And your Vbookie cash, WTF ? :wow:wow

[WildcardManu]

They were holding Tim, those motherfuckers

[1Parker1]

Refs helping Hornets get back in the game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn Hornets with a lot of off rebs

[BonnerDynasty]

TP looked like Napoleon on a fucking conquest!

[Admidave50]

this off rebound is unacceptable, you have to fight for it damnit!!

[WildcardManu]

Didn't need to see who it was coming in, just with the crowd going wild I know.

[lefty]

Hack a Chandler coming up

[phxspurfan]

At least Pop knows the game is getting physical...Horry comes in.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I like how TNT doesn't even show a replay of prince Paul throwing a 'bow or fist (not sure which it was) at Oberto.

If that was Bowen doing that to Paul they'd have that replay from six different angles.

[Spurs Brazil]

Horry in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lefty]

Horryyyyyyy

[Spurologist]

Horrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[DespЏrado]

Yah Boy! Go Horry!

[Popo>Phil]

Congratulate Horry!

[Radiosparks]

Horry!!!!

[WildcardManu]

Horry making West his bitch

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The doubling has actually helped Tim - he is now catching and GOING TO HIS MOVE IMMEDIATELY. As we all know, he's SOOOOOO much better wh n he does that!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Horry with some classic Horry D on West.

[phxspurfan]

What's the Spurs' new D scheme on West? it looks like they're defending him way better these last 2 games.

[Spurs Brazil]

Horry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Radiosparks]

Good rebound!

[Rummpd]

great hustle.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This appears to be a vintage Robert Horry night. Comes in...

Jumper, good D on West, tap out for an offensive rebound.

[BonnerDynasty]

great hustle.

word

[1Parker1]

OH MY GOD!! CP3 was HOLDING ON TO PARKER'S ARM and the refs don't call anythinmg?

[lefty]

horry : Hack a Chandler coming up

[phxspurfan]

Hack-a-Chandler

[ATXSPUR]

hack a chandler!
