Spurs vs. Hornets Game 6 - Game Blog

Survive.

1.

Believe.

[Streakyshooter08]

The Spurs have to do something special to overcome the "even year curse".

It starts tonight.

Spurs got this.

:flag::flag::lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt2::flag: :flag:

[Nolazach]

This is going to be another tough one. I'm curios to see if its going to be close or a blowout like most of the other games. I still think us in six, but with your backs against the wall and the weapons you have, it all makes for a scary team.

I think Peja is finally going to make some shots, and I hope to see more out of Pargo and wells. It would be nice if West had another game like yesterdays in him again, even nicer if Duncan repeats his game one performance.

Anyway, its going to be a great game, and is no doubt a must win for yall. May the best team win.

Let's make this thread seemingly as the last Spurs game thread for the season.

Hopefully we can come out with a win!

[GrandeDavid]

Asskicking tonight.

Spurs 105
Hornets 88

[TampaDude]

I didn't watch Games 3 and 4. I won't be watching this one, either.

[remingtonbo2001]

Let's do this.

[dbreiden83080]

Heart and intensity will win this game. Spurs have to fight like they believe this repeat is still very much alive. Protect home court and get this to game 7, whatever it takes.

GO SPURS GO!!

[ATXSPUR]

Get your head out of your ass Duncan. Get your head out of your ass Pop and knock these motherfuckers out!!!!

BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[themvp]

I can't even think about this is maybe Spurs' last game of the season! It's happening so fast!

[Fundamental]

Lets go boys. Pull it together.

:ihit

[dbreiden83080]

Get your head out of your ass Duncan. Get your head out of your ass Pop and knock these motherfuckers out!!!!

BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Duncan will bring it tonight, take it to the bank.

[nolafan13]

All champions must eventually fall. Tonight hornets take one in the final seconds. 103-99

[Bruno]

Will I wake up tomorrow with a good or bad news ?

[SpursDynasty]

I really think everyone is panicking over tonight too much. Easy W's for the Spurs tonight and Monday....

[dickface]

[21GoSpursGo9]

If the spurs go down, at least go down with some fucking pride. Losing is one thing but losing with no pride/heart is flat out unacceptable especially for the spurs.

If they lay an egg and just lie down and die, I hope they get booed out off the court. I love this team and I always will. Please guys give it your all. It is the only thing I and every spurs fan here asks for. GIVE IT YOUR ALL. Anything less than that is flat out unacceptable.

[Trainwreck2100]

These fuckers better win

[ducks]

this would suck if they lost
second road win in 2 round

[Spurs Brazil]

Win.

You're sleeping through the game?

[alamo50]

Get angry Tim.

[jman3000]

i just want a game 7. that's all. i dont care if we win it... i just want them to show enough heart and grit to actually get to the game 7.

in 2006 i wasnt mad at all after we lost game 7. i was a bit pissed at manu... but after fighting back from 3-1 i was proud of the spurs.

losing a game 6, in my eyes at least, is 10x worse than losing a game 7.

[BiZNicK]

Manu and Tony need to step up and be aggressive in the paint. They look too terrified to even attempt most of the time. Drive in anyway...get fouled, dish out...

You're sleeping through the game?

here in Belgium it's 22.30. The games always start in the middle of the night for us....

[reck21]

Spurs should lose.

3 times they've been blown out...3 straight..are you kidding? champs getting beat by 20+ points multiple times by "Newbies"?

Yeah I hope they lose.

[Thomas]

In how many hours starsts the game? Maybe I'll stay awake to follow the game !

[Bruno]

You're sleeping through the game?

Yes, game start at 3:00 am for me.

[roycrikside]

We need Tony to be the better point guard to win, that simple. The better point guard has won every game.


This should be an eye opener for the crowd that just wants Parker to shoot, shoot, shoot.

PG with more assists: 5-0
PG with more points: 2-3

[SAtown]

In how many hours starsts the game? Maybe I'll stay awake to follow the game !

4 hours, 16 minutes

[O-Factor]

Lets go Tim, step up, be who you are, the best PF the Association has ever seen, and shut us up!

[tchopotulis]

Go BEES!!...Good luck Spurs its been a great series.:toast

[Borosai]

I really hope these guys have some pride left. Shit, the Jazz actually played with some balls in L.A. last night. Maybe they'll play like champs tonight, or maybe they'll just fold again. We'll see, but I got my sig updated already, so they better not fuck me over.

[spursfan09]

Come on Spurs. I need you to win. Tell me our dominance is not over

[nfg3]

WE will win this one. Home cooking has been on the menu for the entire series. Pretty weird that all wins have been by double digits with 4 of the 5 games being blowiuts.

If they focus, be agressive and quit settling for Js then I think it's a done deal.

I expect TD to come out smoking. He looked pretty pissed during the post game interview after game 5. And if Chandler can't play???????

He had better have a field day agianst Ely and Hilton because I don't see West on him too often.

:flag:

[MarceloM!]

We will win this one, but the seventh game would be very very difficult. I believe the guys will be in shape, concentrated and confident tonight. No time to losers!

[JohnnySixString]

Pretty weird that all wins have been by double digits with 4 of the 5 games being blowiuts.



Unfortunately the Spurs have gotten the short end of the stick in 3 of those blowouts. It will take a hell of a lot more heart and a hell of a lot more balls than what they've shown so far to win this series. Games 1 and 2 were heartless, pussy efforts - collapsing in the 3rd each time. Game 4 saw them surge back and dominate, giving everyone hope they had woken up - only to once again play like whipped, gutless pussies in game 5. Honestly, winning tonight, blowout or escape, won't really mean anything to me. They've already proven they can't even come close to winning in New Orleans. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if they are blown out at home tonight. The Hornets came into the series screaming "WE WANT TO WIN THIS SHIT!!!" while the Spurs came in muttering "um....we kinda want it....sort of.........actually, we could care less". At this point it'd be easier for them to lose tonight and end this weak ass effort/season of theirs. They need the heart of a champion to win this series and so far they've shown they don't have one anymore.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

^^^ love the sig

Hi Suns fan.

[austinlakepirate]

I didn't watch Games 3 and 4. I won't be watching this one, either.

But oddly you take the time to post on this board

Good luck Spurs fans. I know how you feel.

[reddog 99]

In Dallas trying to make it back in time for the game.

Let get this to a game 7 and prove to everyone that we still are the :lobt2:.

[lefty]

Good luck Spurs fans. I know how you feel.

As defending champs?

Not sure

[Allanon]

It's the same as it was in 2007, win or go home, that never changes.

[pauls931]

I've got the key for you guys. Tell the players that they don't get a 12 minute break with occasional mini-breaks after halftime.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Still an hour to game time?

[AstroCowboy]

I believe Boys! Can't wait to see Oberto's game 7 winning shot Monday too... YEA, that's right baby!!


GO SPURS GO!!

[JohnnySixString]

I believe Boys! Can't wait to see Oberto's game 7 winning shot Monday too... YEA, that's right baby!!

You probably have more confidence in Oberto than everyone in San Antonio and Argentinia combined.

<GRIN> Just trying to think a little outside the box, ala 2003 Kerr-ville

Exactly from the players to the fans we are hyped up. No offense but it seems so many people just expect to go to the finals, that they don't want to go wild for their team just yet. I hope to hear yall tonight.


I think its going to be close with the Hornets winning in overtime.

[BRHornet45]

sons I feel like being nice tonight. who is stuck at work (or near a computer) and unable to watch the game live?

that's what success does to you. Look at the freaking Laker fans. they are the worst.

I myself knew this was not going to be easy. Actually I knew this was going to be the toughest road for Spurs ever. But I know they will somehow force game 7.

[Avitus1]

The arena never seems as loud on TV as it does in real life... I think its just its crappy design.

[loveforthegame]

Go Spurs!!

[WildcardManu]

Do or die tonight with backs against the wall, what will the reaction be?

[Avitus1]

Om7mqh9bOsU&feature=related

Hells yes!

[DespЏrado]

Get this Got Damn game Spurs. break the even curse. 5 will not die tonight!

Scott's knees have gotta be sore by now.

This shit makes me sick.

We are gonna play a game tonight, what are you gonna do other than wait for training camp???

SAS and Stu Scott both picked the Spurs to win tonight. Wow!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

How long 'till the game starts?

[Bulwark]

Let's Go! Go Spurs Go!

[dbreiden83080]

Come out of the gate strong guys, believe Lets GO!!!!!!!!!

[duncan228]

How long 'till the game starts?

Just a few minutes.

[dbreiden83080]

Not many people on the forum right now, what has everyone given up???

[Bulwark]

I probably shouldn't be watching this game tonight. The two nights that I was out of country (of all places Bueno Aires), the Spurs won ... Should I not watch?

[Spurs Brazil]

ESPN showing the game here in Brazil :flag::flag::flag:

[Budkin]

What was that awful music? :lmao

[duncan228]

Wow, player intros. First time I've seen them in these Playoffs.

[Bulwark]

What? No pyro?

[Bulwark]

Fab is starting

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto starting

[duncan228]

Duncan looks all business. I hope he brings that to the court.

[Budkin]

Wait they replaced Y'all Ready for This with another 2 Unlimited song??

[Bulwark]

Duncan looks all business. I hope he brings that to the court.
Yeah, it didn't do the chest/shoulder bump with Bruce.

[lefty]

Players intro?

WTF?


ESPN thinks it's a special event, like the season is over tonight or spmething ??? :bang

[Pistons < Spurs]

Good Luck!!!!! Kick a little Hornet Ass!!!



:flag::flag::flag::flag::flag:

[Budkin]

We're gonna smoke their asses tonight!

[boutons_]

you know the playoffs are getting important when the games start and it's still daylight.

[Deb]

It seemed awfully quiet in the ATT when they introduced the Spurs

[Dex]

Let's get this done, people.

One game at a time. All the way to 5.

Believe.

[lefty]

Wait they replaced Y'all Ready for This with another 2 Unlimited song??

This one was gay

[Spurs Brazil]

Y'all Ready was better

[mrcoon29]

I generally don't have a problem with Stan Kelly but I liked his tone better when he announced the Hornets rather than the Spurs - he needs to keep with the deeper voice.

GO SPURS GO!!!

Here we go.

Bring it bitches!

GO SPURS GO!!! :flag:

That's what I want all night!!!!!!!

[duncan228]

Nice. Oberto to an open Duncan.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Gotta FINISH Timmy.

[WildcardManu]

Be the aggressors

[Budkin]

Well couldn't ask for a better start.

[lefty]

Man all those empty seats :wow:wow:wow

[Budkin]

Where's the over the back on that?

[spursfan09]

wow elimination game and the att has empty seats. I'm embarrassed

[Deb]

TD gotta finish strong to the basket

[WildcardManu]

god damn manu, attack

[Budkin]

Manu hits his first... good sign.

[WildcardManu]

Man all those empty seats :wow:wow:wow

late arrivals, shame

[Budkin]

CP misses his first... good as well.

[WildcardManu]

blow out blow out blow out

[Deb]

Gotta play through the fouls tonight. Keep on keeping on

[Pistons < Spurs]

Man all those empty seats :wow:wow:wow

The Pistons games have been the same way at the beginning of games .... one of the negatives associated with having a team that is always in the playoffs. Fans almost take it for granted.

[Budkin]

Soft shit gets swatted.

[lefty]

I hope Oberto gets a quick 2nd foul

Bench him !!!

[BRHornet45]

Tyson just said get that bullshit out of here sons!

[peskypesky]

Fab!

[Budkin]

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peskypesky]

[Budkin]

Ooh Peja gets free.

[peskypesky]

ouch

[Pistons < Spurs]

[WildcardManu]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fab's gotta realize he can't take it weak against Chandler. Sheesh.

[Budkin]

They will not give Tony the foul... WTF!

[koopa]

bowen is so worthless, that extension was a waste of money

and fuck these refs

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fab is passing very well though.

[Budkin]

Come on make those FTs

[koopa]

and peja is making bowen his bitch

[peskypesky]

defense looks weak

[Budkin]

Manu still hittin... I like that.

[peskypesky]

peja eating bowen's lunch

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bruce is getting TORCHED!

[Budkin]

I love that we're not settling for 3s! Awesome.

[WildcardManu]

fucking CP pushed off first

[BRHornet45]

sons Peja has figured Bowen out

[peskypesky]

udoka in for failing bruce

[koopa]

why couldn't this duncan come to play on tuesday

[Budkin]

Pop already pulls Bruce.

[Septic]

Wow...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This doesn't make sense, someone told me after game 5 that we had to go to 4down and shoot from outside to get open looks.

It's been a layup line with the pick and roll tonight for us.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Good sub Udoka - what I would've done.

[Budkin]

Bah dont settle for contested jumpers.

[WildcardManu]

nice, a foul

[Pistons < Spurs]

good job Tony!

[peskypesky]

nice steal, Tony!

[Septic]

Damn it Tony I love u!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What are you doing shooting a fucking jumper, Tim? We're getting layup after layup on the pick and roll. Fuck iso ball.

[Budkin]

This doesn't make sense, someone told me after game 5 that we had to go to 4down and shoot from outside to get open looks.

It's been a layup line with the pick and roll tonight for us.

I wish Pop coulda read your analysis... it was so friggin obvious that the PnR was the answer.

[koopa]

lol @ sean saying fab wisely got rid of the ball, that shit slipped out of his hands, he was lucky duncan was there to clean up his mess

[peskypesky]

Good sub Udoka - what I would've done.

me too

we can't let peja get off to too hot a start

[dbreiden83080]

Come on Bruce we all know Peja sucks, get it in gear. Timmy has brought it so far tonight

[milkyway21]

St.TIMothy, St. AnTONY! , eMANUel...:flag:

[peskypesky]

[Pistons < Spurs]

The offense is looking pretty solid ... but you gotta make stops on the other end...:bang

[Spurs Brazil]

Ofense is better but the D is soft. We need to be stronger on D

[dbreiden83080]

why couldn't this duncan come to play on tuesday

Why couldn't Tony or Manu come to play on Tues

[Budkin]

pick and roll them to death!

Especially with Chandler and West not at 100%!

[mrcoon29]

I love that we're not settling for 3s! Awesome.
And we need to not settle for 3's in NOLA, too - dammit!! :lobt2:

[peskypesky]

our defense needs to step up....now

[WildcardManu]

The offense is looking pretty solid ... but you gotta make stops on the other end...:bang

It working so far, although our D sucks

[Budkin]

Ofense is better but the D is soft. We need to be stronger on D

Agreed... shut em down.

[DespЏrado]

Spurs look sharp but the Hornet's are matching the Spurs intensity and playing cleaner ball. The Spurs are going to have to play even better. C'mon Spurs stop making the Hornets look like the been there done that team.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The Spurs have scored on six of nine pick and rolls tonight so far, five of those were layups.

WTF is Pop doing, we need to go to 4down.

[Spurs Brazil]

Horry in

Still no KT

[Budkin]

Fucking Paul still bitching to the refs!

[WildcardManu]

fuck fuck fuck fuck, make your FT's tony

[lefty]

Mouvement, motion.

If we do this in game 7, we'll win the series

[Budkin]

Please don't let FTs be our downfall this game..

[Bulwark]

Man Parker's FT

Paul talking shit to Horry after the weak foul call. SOmeone needs to fuck that little bitch up.

[BRHornet45]

sons David West tends to ball hog whenever we play on the road. always forcing stupid shots

Man, I love Big Shot but he's done a heck of a lot of fouling in this series

I am not watching this live.

Big 3 play great and we win, keep it up boys

Hornet, I used to have a girl with an arse like that... should've married her. :lol

[gaKNOW!blee]

holy shit refs, ITS PLAYOFF BASKETBALL, LET THEM PLAY!

[lefty]

If we keep missing our FT's, expect a Hack-A-Spurs :p:

[DespЏrado]

SPurs shooting under 50% on freethrows.... :(

I'm gonna say that's a good sign. That's spurs basketball right there.:lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Good: 8-11 on the pick and roll.

Bad: 2-5 FT shooting.

Ugly: Peja 4-6, 9 points.

[peskypesky]

I'm just sayin'....

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

[Deb]

Liking the intensity so far - PLEASE keep it up in the 3rd and 4th

[dbreiden83080]

I'm just sayin'....

We got ya it's working lets just win this game and trash Pop for his gameplans later.
