Not a Rocket fan but that team also owns your pathetic club this year
After one of the most obviously one-sided officiating I have seen in a long, long time while watching a regular season game....
Mason makes my Christmas super Merry.
WHAT A GAME! Spurs beat the Suns + 3 to rip their hearts out of their chest again. The announcers sounded SO sad afterwards. Brilliant freaking game. If we executed at ALL on offense it would not have been close... or if we didn't start at 30% for the game.
What a win. Go home, Phoenix, you aren't even good enough to take us with the refs in your back pocket. Hope to see you in the playoffs again.

Beat them in 99 and 03, both le years for the Spurs, when did the Suns beat anyone and go onto to the le, pal???
Too bad you can't have a gif of Mason making that three over and over.
Props to the always classy Suns fan flipping off Mason and the Spurs by the sideline.
San Antonio 91, Phoenix 90
Stop embarrasing and being a already.
We are 1-1 against the Rockettes.
I think we finally have found Mason's true nickname for Spurstalk.

man would i love to see that Suns locker room after the game...the long faces...hahaha
an awesome win n a great gift for all the spurs fans!!
however, we have to face it that we are gettin slaughtered in the paint. we are desparately in need of another big who can play D n has an okay low post game
Shaq seemed please, no Overtime means he gets home for Christmas Dinner quicker..
The frown on the guy right behind Mason's shoulder is epic!
You name the big thats available that can do that, and I'm sure the Spurs would be happy to get him.
Is that Angel Luv in grey, hands on hip, and the big rack?
I agree.....I missed the first half, cause I got the times mixed up and I was busy with family anyway.....but the 2nd half was horribly officiated. I couldn't believe the fouls they were calling on SA and then the ones they weren't calling on PHX. BTW, I hope Pop will leave hack a shaq in the past after this game. The strategy worked in the playoffs, but so far in 2 games this year, it really hasn't worked.
I like angry Duncan. When he gets mad, nobody outrebounds him. He needs to get Hulk out more often. He could be a 20/20 player.
This was a very good win...to beat a quality opponent on the road is very important.
It was an entertaining game by both teams.....good intensity and came down to the wire. What more can you ask for as a basketball fan.
GO SPURS GO
Mutombo.
His low post game is iffy, but he can block shots at the rim
"You wont like Tim when hes angry"
The Hack-a-shaq did work. The point isnt to hope Shaq misses his FT's, its to disrupt the other Suns players offense. Take them out of the equation for a while and their offense stagnates.
Just look at the point differential in the 4th quarter.
spurs 20, suns 14
