Round 2, Game 5: Spurs vs Suns Official Game Blog Thread

[Despot]

Spurs have alot of fouls left, they can play all out now.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Suns were down 11 by the Spurs two nights ago.

Though we can't count on the Suns to drop the ball like we did. We just have to fight back harder and defend better than we did in the first half.

[Manu20]

Nice timing by the Spurs to have the fewest points of the 1st half for the season.

[christina]

Halftime!!!! Suns Are Gona Come Out And Push And Push And Not Let Uppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp Your Done !

[Warlord23]

33 points in a half against the Suns!

Getting outrebounded by the suns with 2 of their "bigs" suspended

I just hope to god Pop realized what he was watching late in the second half when the pick and roll started working. If we ride 4down to the grave in the second half tonight Pop should be fired.

God Almighty.

The one thing they needed to do was avoid a 3, so naturally, they leave someone wide open.

Let's see. Defense needs to wake up and get in step.

Rebounding is a serious issue. They should try to do more than just watch, jump ineffectively or tap into the waiting hands of a Suns player.

They need to continue driving. AMAZING how that worked.

God, I hope they stop sucking.

Someone other than whoever is on him needs to guard Marion.

Bowen must stick to Marion like glue and the first 2 min of this 3rd qtr is it. If the Suns come out and go on a run early it's OVER!!

Poor kid

[powerpower]

i can't believe this is happening

[anonymous coward]

Quick analysis :

-Spurs sucked

-Spurs were surprised by this line-up during the 1st quarter

-Suns are better without Amare

-Suns can defend

fixed

[ducks]

Thomas tired and I think Duncan senses it.

Marion is tearing it up though.

yep
keep pounding thomas


spurs will score 33 in 3

[fitzgerald]

Karma is a spurs. Looks to be biting you tonight.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I think we are going to see a total different game in the second half. Shots were not falling down. I think Pop finally found the trick to beat this team tonight.

[dtrain]

For being 11 down, I don't feel that bad about this. We knew this would be tough, just because the Spurs always have trouble against teams who are missing their star. If the Spurs can just play through this, it will be ok.

Barkley "everybody's pulling for the Suns". What an idiot and a homer.

@ Charles Barkley's psychoanalysis

[boutons_]

Charles psychologizing, STFU, fat ass. you can't read minds, ain't no shrink

[Despot]

Pop is a genius!! I'm not being sarcastic.

[mexispur]

I think after a halftime ass chewing by pop i can see us bringing this back as long is we stay within 10 maybe get it down to 5 by the 4th its ours to take

[BUMP]

33 points in the first half against the freakin' Suns. A Suns team missing two of their better players at that. I don't even know what to say, just unbelievably pathetic.

yeah it is, isnt it?

almost amusing

[Ginofan]

I still think this is a VERY winnable game. I would love for Manu to be running the point when Tony isn't on the floor and just have everything go through him. When he had that layup in those last few seconds you could see a glimpse of the "old" Manu, even the commentators said it was "vintage" Manu.

Make the right choices Pop. Let's hit some ing buckets and crush their hopes and dreams!

You do realize that no matter what happens in this game, it's coming back to SA for a game 6, right?
