Spurs vs. Hornets Game 6 - Game Blog

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Salvatorre single handedly trying to kill the momentum.

[dbreiden83080]

we'd be looking to close out the Hornets tonight if you were coaching. the 4-down killed us.

It's not nearly that simple

[DespЏrado]

Damn the defense was looking solid with Horry. Keep him in the game let him play Pop.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm just sayin'....

It's as if a different team showed up.

Very strange. I mean Pop had to know that 4-down was killing the team, but he stuck with it. I think Pop is great at between game adjustments, but not so good at IN-GAME adjustments. He rarely changes his plan on the fly. Anyway...

GO SPURS GO!!! :flag:

[MannyIsGod]

AHF your breakdowns are disingenuous because they are running both post ups and PnR on the same play. when they score you automatically attribute it the way you want and the same when they don't.

I love the penetration so far and I think Oberto has done a great job of getting Tim going too.

[lefty]

Hack-A-Spurs at the end of the 1st Q

[bonesinaz]

I can't post and watch at the same time anymore.

[01Snake]

Hit your damn FT's!

[lefty]

It's all about D now for games 6 and 7, considering our struggling offense.

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peskypesky]

Actually if we start out with 4down and then go into a PnR, I'm giving 4down the credit. So, no.

[Deb]

LOL Floppin CP3

[lefty]

TD baNK

Pun intended ?:toast

[koopa]

damn i though horry threw him down, but the replay showed he just flopped

[spursfor5]

Chris Paul = Little Fucking Flopper

[peskypesky]

Timmy came to play :)
Manu came to play :)

Four fouls on SA in the last two minutes. Good job, stripes... :rolleyes

[BiZNicK]

[lefty]

[koopa]

[ClingingMars]

- Mars

[BiZNicK]

lol ime is our offense right now. what a game

[DespЏrado]

Bowen the only one hitting his free throws :wow

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

We haven't once started in four down.

I count two so far.

[lefty]

Ime better be getting ALL of Finley's minutes from here on out!

Finley not in yet:toast

Keep it that way Pop

[peskypesky]

Duncan shutting West down!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Nice D!

[spursfor5]

Bonzi Wells for MVP

[lefty]

3333333333333333333333

[Pistons < Spurs]

up 13!!!

Maintain the defensive intensity.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

IT's funny, we actually have a competent defense without Finley in there.

[WildcardManu]

bang bang trey again, lets not rely on it too much

[BiZNicK]

damn awesome defense tim put on west

[misterx91578]

Bowen

[spursfor5]

Bruuuuuuuuuccccee!

[peskypesky]

Finley not in yet:toast

Keep it that way Pop

Finley should ride the pines all game.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Defensive three seconds? You suck, Bennett.

[lefty]

IT's funny, we actually have a competent defense without Finley in there.

:lol

[Pistons < Spurs]

T on Bowen....

[koopa]

oh shit son!!! hopefully we can keep this up for four quarters

and what?? the crowd is actually making noise???

and damn defensive 3, such a retarded call, cause they don't call it consistently

[DespЏrado]

I am so glad Finley hasn't played yet.... I lhave always liked Udoka better.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck Salvatore

[peskypesky]

damn awesome defense tim put on west

yep. and that's the way it shouldve been EVERY game. pop shoulda had duncan guarding him a lot more throughout this series.

[mVp]

What a great 1st quarter.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Salvatore thought process: "hoh shit, it's a 13 point game. What can I do? Hmmm, *bleep* three seconds!!!"

[WildcardManu]

EXCELLENT 1st

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I LOOOOOVED that first quarter! NOW REPEAT IT GOD DAMNED!!!

[MannyIsGod]

Those were motions AHF not four downs.

I dno't care though. 71%. They came to play. They can do whatever the hell they want when they play like this.

[Pistons < Spurs]

:clap

Nice quarter.

Keep building the lead so the 3rd qtr doesn't kill you.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Udoka is giving us everything offensively Finley would, and he actually plays defense.

Pop better not fuck this up and put Finley in.

[Deb]

Darn proud of the crowd noise. I was a little worried at first. Even if there is a lot of empty seats, the crowd that is there is doing a good job.

[peskypesky]

IT's funny, we actually have a competent defense without Finley in there.

right? can you believe it's taken Pop THIS long to figure it out?

[lefty]

Why didn't we play motion offense, ball movement in game 5?

Fuck


Hope we'll use that strategy for game 7.

[Spuradicator]

fucking ref

[Spuradicator]

Darn proud of the crowd noise. I was a little worried at first. Even if there is a lot of empty seats, the crowd that is there is doing a good job.

+1

[BiZNicK]

Awesome 1st qtr!!!!!

Let's take this shit back to New Orleans

[timmydidit]

they will NOT stop <Duncan> tonight

[lefty]

right? can you believe it's taken Pop THIS long to figure it out?

CIA Pop :lol

[Sigz]

Why can't they do this in NO?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Why didn't we play motion offense, ball movement in game 5?

Fuck

.

That was the only way to get an open shot [/Popapologist]

[lefty]

fucking ref

Still much better than game 5

[Spuradicator]

no doubt in my mind Timmy wouldn't show up

[Spurs Brazil]

Great 1st quarter

Keep it up

[DespЏrado]

Why didn't we play motion offense, ball movement in game 5?

Fuck


Hope we'll use that strategy for game 7.

There is no game 7...It doesn't exist. The Spurs have to play tonight first.

[dbreiden83080]

Big 3 have come to play, D is there, keep it up

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Maybe Pop can start an argument with Bennett about that three seconds call and piss off this crew too.

[HFFL]

Pssssst! you still need game 7 :lmao

[timmydidit]

watch POP put in Finely after first and change up the tempo

[lefty]

There is no game 7...It doesn't exist. The Spurs have to play tonight first.

Sure

[dbreiden83080]

There is no game 7...It doesn't exist. The Spurs have to play tonight first.

Exactly, we got 3 qtrs left here

[BRHornet45]

sons congrats on the win tonight. we are playing with no heart and very selfishly.

[Bulwark]

There is no game 7...It doesn't exist. The Spurs have to play tonight first.
Agreed. We need to keep the intensity for this game. I don't think that we're going to continue shooting 71%

[peskypesky]

we can take this series if we keep Finley on the bench more, let Duncan defend West more, and stop running the 4-down when it's not working

[DespЏrado]

Pssssst! you still need game 7 :lmao

No you need it. The Spurs aren't going down in 6.
Don't count us out until you beat us.

[WildcardManu]

Pssssst! you still need game 7 :lmao

bzzzzzz you're the ones that need a game seven to try and eliminate us....again

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Hope we'll use that strategy for game 7

Shhhh.

[lefty]

Pssssst! you still need game 7 :lmao

That's what I say when I'm shitting in my pants

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I've got a bad feeling Pop is going to fuck this up and start Finley this quarter.

[lefty]

Shhhh.

:lmao

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

They're running a lot of two plays I love:
1. pnr at the elbow, guard drives to FT line, dump down to cutting screener, and,
2. pass from wing into high post, pass immediately to TD cutting to the hoop.

Nice!

[timmydidit]

sons congrats on the win tonight. we are playing with no heart and very selfishly.

easy its 2nd quarter

[Spuradicator]

Pssssst! you still need game 7 :lmao

one at a time bitch

[timmydidit]

I've got a bad feeling Pop is going to fuck this up and start Finley this quarter.

exactly my point

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Van Gundy just said what I said! :lol

[lefty]

Noooooooooooooo

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Sonuvabitch. Finley in.

[lefty]

Van Gundy just said what I said! :lol

Did you say " pound for pound...." ?

[spursfor5]

Bonzi!

[lefty]

Finley in

Fingers crossed everyone

[peskypesky]

wow. the refs are actually calling the fouls by NO.

fucking Joey Crawford...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Man, every time Fin gets the ball I just hold my breathe. It's like watching the twilight of the Malik Rose era. "No, don't shoot! Just pass!"

[Bulwark]

Has Duncan rested?

[WildcardManu]

role players never do well against the other team's crowd

[timmydidit]

why FINLEY WHYYYY

[lefty]

Has Duncan rested?

How the fuck do we know that?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Jeff Van Gunda\y espousing the power of the thunderstick.

[lefty]

TP fuck !!!!!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

"How did he do that with the Noise against him" :lmao :lmao

[peskypesky]

Sonuvabitch. Finley in.

and guess what? we're starting to suck.

[koopa]

why the fuck did we slow down so much, fuck resting players this is an elimination game

[lefty]

JVG ripping Mark Jackson :D

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Parker with two stupid passes in a row, luckily only one of them hurt us.

[WildcardManu]

come on tim

[BRHornet45]

sons the refs are back on yalls side .... DONT BREATH ON TIMMY!!! OR ITS A FOUL!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

WTF??? Paul just beat TP down the court WITH THE BALL!

Then took 4 steps to lay it up... :rolleyes

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

why the fuck did we slow down so much, fuck resting players this is an elimination game

Finley is playing for the veteran minimum. I don't give a damn how the game's going [/pop]

[Bulwark]

How the fuck do we know that? Sorry for not being more specific. I meant has he been subbed for.

[lefty]

sons the refs are back on yalls side .... DONT BREATH ON TIMMY!!! OR ITS A FOUL!!!

Hey it's our turn

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

sons the refs are back on yalls side .... DONT BREATH ON TIMMY!!! OR ITS A FOUL!!!

Two handed shove in the back <> breathing on Tim.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peskypesky]

outside jumpers are falling thank god

[misterx91578]

Tony

[WildcardManu]

Fin too scared to shoot, and parker just shooting lights out

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Is Finley going to pump fake every time they pass to him? If so, whey even have him in?

[lefty]

Sorry for not being more specific. I meant has he been subbed for.

I was kidding. :toast

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Parker with another careless turnover. :pctoss

Pull your head out Tony.

[koopa]

fucking shit tony

[Deb]

Damn it, friggin ref

[peskypesky]

parker HAS to protect the fucking ball!

[lefty]

Parker ripping Benette Salvatorette

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It took us to an elimination game to finally ask Tim Duncan to guard David West. *sigh*

[dbreiden83080]

Fucking killing me with these TO Tony

[DespЏrado]

Got Damn Finley sucks. He stagnates everything with his hesitation.

[milkyway21]

that a 2 in a row lost ball TO for Tony

[lefty]

Fin too scared to shoot, and parker just shooting lights out

Which is good for us

[Spurs Brazil]

TD doing a great jon on West

[mVp]

Take care of the fucking ball Tony WTF...

[WildcardManu]

DONT BREATH

pssst, that's you guys

[dbreiden83080]

It took us to an elimination game to finally ask Tim Duncan to guard David West. *sigh*

Agreed, that was a bad mistake

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Parker ripping Benette Salvatorette

Parker needs to rip his own ass. He's had three careless possessions with the ball in a row. Two turnovers and a pass four feet behind Manu that Ginobili had to reign in one handed.

[lefty]

:elephant

[gospursgojas]

Listening to game on radio (@work)

Play by play guy says that was an obvious foul

????

[Deb]

Yep, obvious on TP no call

[lefty]

Listening to game on radio (@work)

Play by play guy says that was an obvious foul

????

I don't approve your sig :lol

[koopa]

love me some becky hammon

[Bulwark]

I was kidding. :toast I was just wondering if anyone else noticed that Tim Duncan has not or that I missed something. Usually he rests at the beginning of 2nd or end of 1st quarters and unless I am mistaken he has not this game.

Go sign? Bad sign?

[DespЏrado]

Listening to game on radio (@work)

Play by play guy says that was an obvious foul

????

It could have been called but Parker isn't taking care of the play and can't depend on the refs to bail him out.

[gospursgojas]

I don't approve your sig :lol

Yeah finley sucking is the theme of the night.

I don't disagree.

[lefty]

I was just wondering if anyone else noticed that he has not or that I missed something. Usually he rests at the beginning of 2nd or end of 1st quarters and unless I am mistaken he has not this game.

Go sign? Bad sign?

Tim is fine

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Listening to game on radio (@work)

Play by play guy says that was an obvious foul

????

Meh, Tony's being careless with the ball right now, New Orleans had three guys back on the break and he tried to dribble through all three and got stripped.

There was a foul but it was further up the court. That doesn't excuse him being a dumbass in the paint.

[RobSM64]

love me some becky hammon

:toast Heck yes!

[FlAVaK]

Listening to game on radio (@work)

Play by play guy says that was an obvious foul

????
JVG said so too.
And Parker to Salvatore: "I know u saw it!""

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Nice to have you back Tony.

[lefty]

No motion

Thanks God it went in

[Bulwark]

Man. Fab is a marked man.

[koopa]

omg, paul is putting manu to shame in the flopping department

[WildcardManu]

wow, CP3 deserves an oscar for that fall

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lol Paul jumps up, falls down, throws ball at rim, foul on Oberto. :lol

[Deb]

ha ha another superb acting job by CP

[Pistons < Spurs]

what a FLOPPING Bitch.

I'm really disliking that little cunt.

[Spurs Brazil]

Salvatore is fucking us

[koopa]

omg, crossed eyed mother fucker, and fuck these refs

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Salvatore with the ridiculously weak offensive foul call on Thomas. You've got to be shitting me.

[lefty]

We're paying the price of Parker complaining to the refs


Nice



STFU !!!

[duncan228]

I was just wondering if anyone else noticed that Tim Duncan has not or that I missed something. Usually he rests at the beginning of 2nd or end of 1st quarters and unless I am mistaken he has not this game.

Go sign? Bad sign?

You're right, he didn't have his usual break. I think a tone needed to be set, Pop played him. The game is too important, I would think Duncan would play 48 if they had to.

[WildcardManu]

ha ha another superb acting job by CP

What's next? A movie where he gets kidnapped by the Disney toons?

[koopa]

damn it, stomp on that hoes foot

[peskypesky]

nice shot KT!

[Pistons < Spurs]

Kt!!!

[Bulwark]

All jumpshots now

[gospursgojas]

Fuck this shit.

Ref's doing it again

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Way to just let Paul dribble right into the lane for the layup, Tony.

[WildcardManu]

fucking sloppy D

[koopa]

fucking shit, cause tony has to match paul in everything, he fucks everything up

[lefty]

What's next? A movie where he gets kidnapped by the Disney toons?

:lmao

[peskypesky]

Finley in....Hornets go on a run. Hmmm? Coincidence?

[spursfor5]

Refs trying to even things out.

[Bulwark]

Missed D assignment.

[dbreiden83080]

Terrible no call fucking refs, that is a 5 pt swing

[gospursgojas]

All jumpshots now

Spurs lose when they turn into a jumpshooting team

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fark! Mental mistake and it's back to 7.

[Peja]

moooooooooooooo peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeteee

[Spurs Brazil]

TP gets no calls at the rim

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

So, I could point out the obvious that Finley being inhas completely stagnated our offense, but the resident Popsuckers will tell me how great Pop is.

Oh, and TP sits and bitches an entire timeout at Salvatore, and now we're getting rung up on everything.

Fucking idiots.

[lefty]

If Parker didn't complain to Salvatore, we wouldn't be in that shit

[dbreiden83080]

Hornets are now in this game and it is going to be a bitch to win

[DespЏrado]

ESPN has completely stopped showing replays of controversial fouls anyone notice that? They are only showing the good shot the play before.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

the foul calling is getting out of hands. I can't recall a game like this in a long time. It's fucking pathetic.

[Deb]

ever notice how the momentum changes off bum shit CP calls?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

11:17 Michael Finley enters game.


Missed D assignment.

Coincidence? I think not.

[dbreiden83080]

TP gets no calls at the rim

That keeps up and it's summer vacation time

[timmydidit]

OMG what a flop by Paul LMAO

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

the foul calling is getting out of hands. I can't recall a game like this in a long time. It's fucking pathetic.

You must have missed game 5.

[peskypesky]

What happened to the ball movement? All that beautiful passing?

[WildcardManu]

the foul calling is getting out of hands. I can't recall a game like this in a long time. It's fucking pathetic.

2005 WC-semis against the Sonics has been the worst i've seen of fouls called. Can't remember which game it was though, but there was a quarter where almost every posession was a foul

[CubanMustGo]

What the FUCK were those two calls against Oberto and that call when Thomas nearly got knocked over from behind?

[dbreiden83080]

Paul is out there flopping, flopping. flopping

[lefty]

That keeps up and it's summer vacation time

Well, he'll have plenty of time to party in L.A now

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

If Parker didn't complain to Salvatore, we wouldn't be in that shit

seriously, we were getting good calls in the first quarter. Let the guys do their jobs. FUCK

and Parker needs to stop forcing his game in response to Paul.

[Tradition]

As much as the refs favored D-Wade, at least he was in the playoffs 2 years before that. Chris Paul is a fucking playoff rookie and he is being treated like a king. Pathetic

[Peja]

the foul calling is getting out of hands. I can't recall a game like this in a long time. It's fucking pathetic.

haha bitching again about refs....you never lost a game normally without bad officiating or flu....haha

well you control this one so far....but its not going to be a blowout ..

[E20]

Up until the Spurs have been pretty solid on the offensive end, attacking inside and finding good looks from mid and long range, while getting some easy looks inside.

[lefty]

What the FUCK were those two calls against Oberto and that call when Thomas nearly got knocked over from behind?

Stupid Parker bitching :bang

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What happened to the ball movement? All that beautiful passing?

It's a combination of Parker turning this into a one on one pissing match with Chris Paul (which he's losing horribly at right now) and Finley being in the damn game.

Finley: 5 minutes, 0 points, Spurs are -3 during that time.
Ime: 7 minutes, 7 points, Spurs are +13 during that time.

[Spuradicator]

jesus

[SpurOutofTownFan]

haha bitching again about refs....you never lost a game normally without bad officiating or flu....haha

well you control this one so far....but its not going to be a blowout ..

Please find another post of mine where I whine about calls.

[DazedAndConfused]

I gotta be honest with you Spurs fans, even if you win tonight it looks like you will lose Game 7 barring a huge collapse from NOH. The Spurs just can't hit the shots they are hitting right now on the road. They need to attack the paint instead of relying on these long jumpers.

[DespЏrado]

Finley out !!!! Yes

[peskypesky]

the third quarter suckage has begun early

[koopa]

wow, pop can't coach for shit, fuck having kurt and bowen at the same time

[WildcardManu]

I knew this lead was going to dissipate

[JohnnySixString]

If the Spurs hadn't been playing like shit this series we wouldn't be fearing the end of the season tonight. You can't blame the refs for all of it. All these fuck-ups that keep getting mentioned are the same ones from the first 5 games (except game 4 and this AIN'T no game 4). The Spurs' are continuing to piss their season away. Oh well.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Parker worried about showing up Paul has totally fucked up the Spurs in the second quarter.

Between his bitching at the refs and trying to one-up Paul, he's angling for New Orleans MVP honors right now.

[koopa]

omg, stop rushing shit, and fuck bowne is a bum

[DespЏrado]

I gotta be honest with you Spurs fans, even if you win tonight it looks like you will lose Game 7 barring a huge collapse from NOH. The Spurs just can't hit the shots they are hitting right now on the road. They need to attack the paint instead of relying on these long jumpers.

There is no game 7....We'll deal with that when it actually exists.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

If you believe Marty McCutcheon, Manu Ginobili just threw Tyson Chandler five feet on a box out. Unreal. Thanks for bitching, Tony.

[lefty]

Fuck you TP

It's not a 1 on 1, you stupid son of a bitch ! :flipoff

[WildcardManu]

manuu

[lefty]

Tres

[peskypesky]

Manu for tres!

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[misterx91578]

Manu

[JohnnySixString]

There is no game 7....


At this rate.....no there isn't.

[Deb]

Manu and TD doing it tonight.

[lefty]

Feed Ime!

[koopa]

damn it, put paul on the floor and bust his head open

[lefty]

Dos Tres !!!

[peskypesky]

back to back threes by manu!!!!!!!!

[Deb]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[WildcardManu]

manuuu for trey....again

[Pistons < Spurs]

Big 3!!! Needed that.

And another one!!!!

Go Manu!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Someone please remind Pop that Bowen couldn't guard Paul in games 1-2, shit hasn't changed all of a sudden. Dumb matchup.

[b2b4SA]

Manu!!!

[Spuradicator]

Gino

[lefty]

JVG :lmao

[E20]

I have a man crush on Manu too JVG!!! :elephant

[koopa]

omg, i don't think the refs will let us blow them out, probably won't let us win either

[peskypesky]

thank you, manu!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Goodie, another foul. Maybe Tony can bitch some more and get lit up by Paul. Fucking idiot.

[milkyway21]

Manu!!!!!!!!!!! :elephant

[BiZNicK]

"I have man-crush on Manu Ginobili"

lmao!!
