Lucky ass win but we'll take it these days..
I said Manu took bad shots and that Tony took a bad shot to end the quarter.
You can quote me on that. Can you quote me where I said Manu is my hero or I was trying to defend his bad shooting? No you cannot because I never said that.
Now shhhhhhhh....
Lucky ass win but we'll take it these days..
Hairston went under the screen, Nash bombs a 3G
He chucked up two bad 3's in a row, right before the end of the quarter that lead to TP's bad shot.
This is not a debate in Manu vs. TP. It was a comment that many others made, that caused people to get their feelings hurt when it was simply observation. I never hate on Manu.
It was a good win because Phoenix has been playing well... But we need these kind of wins on the road, and that's a lot harder.
Bl spurs won that game.
No, but I can quote you on where I said Manu was taking bad shots and where out of no where someone tried to compare TP's one bad shot at the end of the quarter to Manu's bad shots to make him look better by comparison.
Should I start a thread about your hate of TP?
Yeah the defense on that wide open dunk was amazing.
I guess Pop's strategy of playing Jefferson only as a small forward went completely out the window when he was inserted as the center against Amare when the Spurs desperately needed to provide a stop.
good lord i forgot there was even a game today. I fail as a Spurs fan. Sorry y'all.
Felt like all the PO-series against the Suns all over again. Amare having his way, but Suns making stupid mistakes and ending up losing.
Good game overall, though. Hopefully, RJ showing up wasn't a fluke again. Pop made some strange moves (subbing in Hairston at the end, e.g.), but at least he didn't small ball us to death.
You should know by now that I never hate on Tony either. Or try to drag him anywhere. Furthermore, I'll be the first to tell you that Manu took bad shots.
But I also will point out whenever anybody else does. Be it TP, TD, Bogans, etc.
What I still don't understand is the butthurtness of bringing Tony's shooting numbers. He can take a bad shot (and even make it) wether he is 1-8 or 7-7.
It's still a bad shot.
Please, by all means. Make sure you fill it with all my quotes where I'm hating on Tony. I mean, even a guy like kace will tell you if I'm a hater...
I am saying, TP was not taking bad shots tonight and TP had nothing to do with my post or the others who posted that Manu chucked up a few bad shots in a row.
I am over it.
Are you posting from China?
In fact I am.
Because he's fresh you idiot. This is why they looked great in Houston, fresh bodies on worn ones.

Jefferson, Spurs halt Suns’ winning streak at 5
By Paul J. Weber
A two-time NBA slam dunk champion, Jason Richardson went up for one of the easiest throwdowns he’ll ever get.
Clang!
With nothing but the rim between Richardson and a game-tying basket with 41.8 seconds left, he blew a one-handed dunk on a breakaway as the rest of the Phoenix Suns watched in disbelief, while the San Antonio Spurs savored their good luck in a 113-110 win on Sunday.
“I don’t like to miss dunks, especially in crunch time like that, but it’s one of those things that happens,” Richardson said. “You can’t do anything about it.”
Amare Stoudemire had a season-high 41 points and 12 rebounds, but thanks to Richardson’s gaffe and the Suns letting the final buzzer sound before getting a final shot off, the Spurs ended Phoenix’s five-game winning streak.
Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili had 21 points apiece, and Richard Jefferson scored 20 points off the bench in his best game since the disappointing addition to the Spurs lineup lost his starting job two weeks ago.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich called it a good win against the NBA’s hottest team since the All-Star break. Phoenix arrived in San Antonio having won 11 of 13, and were 14 games over .500 for the first time since the end of the 2007-08 season.
“It was also a little good fortune,” Popovich said of Richardson’s miss.
The Spurs will take wins however they can get them. San Antonio won for just the second time in five games, trying merely to hang onto a playoff spot rather than compete for the Western Conference le as many predicted.
Jefferson was a big reason for those expectations. But the expensive acquisition has disappointed instead of revitalizing the aging Spurs, and was averaging 12 points entering Sunday, the lowest since his rookie year.
Jefferson has come off the bench in five of his last six games. Popovich indicated before the game that he’ll likely stay there, saying Jefferson has more “focus” in that role.
Jefferson eclipsed 20 points for the first time since he had 24 in a win over Milwaukee on Dec. 29. He was 7 of 11 from the field and hit two 3-pointers.
Jefferson chalked up some of his struggles to playing out of position.
“There was a good month and a half where I was playing more power forward when we were trying to go with a small lineup,” Jefferson said. “I struggled quite a bit at that position.”
Stoudemire had 14 points in the fourth and Richardson half of his 20 points in the quarter, missing only one shot in the fourth—but it was a big one.
His blown dunk turned out to be Phoenix’s best chance to tie the game. Steve Nash heaved a long 3-pointer with 4.6 seconds left to get Phoenix within one, and the Suns had one more shot left after Ginobili sank two free throws.
But needing to go the length of floor with 3.2 seconds left, Nash passed up a 3-pointer and instead passed to Channing Frye as the clock expired.
Nash, who had 18 points and 11 assists, said he lost his balance and couldn’t get a shot off.
Suns coach Alvin Gentry said the game didn’t come down to just one play. That included the missed dunk by Richardson, who won the NBA’s slam dunk contest in 2002 and 2003.
“That’s a tough play to swallow, but it’s not the play that determines the game,” Gentry said. “There were other plays over the course of 48 minutes that if we would have made, maybe that play doesn’t count so much.”
Tony Parker, returning to the San Antonio lineup after missing Friday’s loss at Houston because of an illness, scored 16 points. Reserve DeJuan Blair added 14 points.
Frye added 11 for the Suns. Stoudemire was 15 of 28 from the floor and eclipsed 30 points for the fifth time in the past 13 games.
“We had a chance to win down the stretch. It’s tough,” Stoudemire said. “Every time we play the Spurs, it’s always a close game. Small mistakes sometimes bite you in the end.”
Notes: The Spurs will see plenty of Suns-caliber opponents the rest of the way. Sixteen of their remaining 26 games are against teams with winning records. … Spurs F Antonio McDyess had 12 points and nine rebounds, and returned to the game after being helped to the locker room in the third quarter with a hyperextended left knee.

Great job, Spurs!!!
THE
SUNS
SUCK
If RJ could have been this aggressive in half of our games, we'd have around 5 less losses.
I own the Suns on game blogs.:
