Neal has an injury?

i heard he had a bruised thigh

Thigh contusion

damn, we need Tim Duncan to be Tragic Johnson

3 threads for a Suns game?

Nationally televised on a Sunday (for the States)

But…a Suns game?

pinoys, is it on tv?

Studio 23. I think.

studio 24. i mean 24. no, 23.

no thanks to you tho

ouch. it’s not my fault you were almost amnestyed!

Yup Studio 23.

gree for threeeeeeeeeeeeeee

how old is this line up?

An average of 17.6 yrs

Feeling old again :P

Nice open 3 from GREEN

I like the D by Joseph. And great shot by Green

Yep. On both counts.

Green saving us!

GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN

lol, how does this line up score baskets? by playing team basketball.

Green with a three! Lead back up to 11!

Gentry calls timeout. Spurs up, 81-70.

god Jon Barry hates everything spurs… it seems like every line-up is an opportunity for the suns to make a run, if you were listening to his commentary you would think the suns were up 5

Why does he hate us so? I really don’t get it.

Jealousy?

But didn’t his brother Brent win like 2 titles with SA? Come on, Jon…….

probably wishing it was him SA signed and won 2 rings with?

DING DING DING!

He’s jealous that his brother won with us and he didn’t. Sibling rivalry running deep.

Guess that makes sense. My siblings and I get along quite well, so I guess I don’t relate :P

He’s jealous of his brother’s championship rings. And the ring his father got. And the one’s he missed out on with Sac, and Detroit. And… possibly Tony and Brent’s wifey…situation.

is there actually truth to the Parker/Barry’s wife thing? I try not to get in to that kind of stuff

Not sure how much was truth, and how much was alleged… but, at the end of the day, Brent and she are no longer together.

ouch. I’d guess there has to be at least something going on. Of course, unless he was so embarrassed by the story that he’d feel like a B if he stayed.

He doesnt know about these young guys…….they will increase the lead

I know. I have FSSW with Sean, but I switched over a few times to see what they had to say. Dude sucks, and they kept talking about Suns players.

Green with the corner 3! Lead back up to 11.

THREEEEN!!!

This could be a nice nickname if he makes it consistently

this soy-based drink thing i just had was disgusting. ugh.

What was it? I usually drink vanilla soy milk instead of milk lol

banana and honey flavoured soy breakfast drink. don’t know if it’s the flavour or the soy part of it…

Could be either—I always get the “very vanilla” soy milk cuz that soy taste can be nasty :P

aussie staple drink?

first time i’ve ever tried it.

Was it labelled ‘Not intended for Human consumption’? Y’know, like most things they sell in supermarkets as food…

it was sharing a shelf with cleaning products…

Time to put this game away!

KLeo may grow up to be the next Bowen. So may Danny Green. Who has better chance?

I think Kawhi will be better than Bowen

Bowen 2.0

Maybe 20.0

Nobody can be that good

All I know is that Kawhi is infinitely more athletic than Bowen

Bowen was very fit and agile on his feet. He didn’t jump a lot, but I won’t call him not athletic. You cannot consistently be among the best NBA defenders and not to be athletic.

I agree. Danny Green might be the next Bowen though, especially with the corner 3’s he hits.

ill excuse your blasphemy as hopeful optimism

what if we have 2 Bowens?

The basketball universe would implode.

the Bruce brothers!!

Double BruBow! Oh wow!! All the way..

It’s like the Brady Bunch, except it’s the “Bowen Bunch”

its so weird to see BSPN actually televising a Spurs game, i thought they forgot about us.

Only 3 NBA games tonight, lol

Has Leonard had a double-double yet? He is 4 rebounds away

I think he had

Bonner for threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Now bonbon hurt

Aaaand now Bonner is injured too

BONNER WITH THE COLD-BLOODED-HATER-QUIETNG 3 POINTER!!!

Bonner is #15 just as Tebow

Woah Bonner calm down

Now that was a foul by Bonner

WTF, now Winter Shoes is in pain. . . .

And Bonner is hurt, wtf is happening

wait now bonners injured?

Bonner with a three!

OH SHIT BONNER IS HURT TANK THE SEASON!!!!!!!!!!

GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER.

17 hours? We ain’t gonna last 17 seconds!

TWHS

He lured you into that

It’s Hipuks. No luring required.

Yeah, I have no standards really.

You’re in good company then. :-D

best. movie. ever.

what movie?

Bucky Larson.

Oh, I actually just watched that two days ago. I guess that pretty much sums up my opinion of that movie, lol

You’re a brave man. It’s not even " it’s so bad it’s good", it goes into “It’s so bad it could be considered torture under the Geneva Convention” territory.

Like I said down there, I have to know for sure when it comes to movies like that.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090605/

though the quote isn’t quite right…

lol, so that’s not from Bucky Larson like Hipuks said?

it might be…i’d rather be shot into a wall than watch that, so i couldn’t tell you.

LOL. I felt the same way, but I have this weird thing where I have to watch it anyway if it’s available. It was as bad as I expected it to be.

you didn’t watch “jack and jill” did you?

No. But please be aware, I would never pay money for any of these movies. Only then would I feel like a real sucker and not be able to live with myself. My friend has lots of disposable income and just goes and buys new dvd’s every week indiscriminately

ah ok then. the thought of paying to see bucky larson….

come on man, I at least have some sense of self respect….I think…

wait, bonner hurt his knee?

BONNER IS INJURED

Where is Malcolm Thomas?

Sick with the flu or something

Out with gastroenteritis.

NOT THE RED ROCKET

now Bonner hurting his knee? WTF?!

free malcolm!

he’s out too.

Out with stomach flu.

Bonner is hurt! nooooooooooooooooo!

BONNER IS OUR PLUS MINUS SUPERSTAR

Don’t worry, he’ll still get his All Star votes in

im pretty sure the whole state on new hampshire votes for him…. Watching him play in boston is great he gets so much support

LOL it would be awesome if everyone voted him and just trolled the NBA

Please tell me BonBon’s ok…….

BonBon is ok.

whew…I thought he was injured, or else we’ll have to tank the season

See what happens when I look away for a second? sheesh……

well, he walked unsupported back to the bench…

So that’s where Morris went in the NBA. I hate that dude.

I like this unbiased commentary

Always top notch

Commentator: “We got a game now” as the Suns trail by 9….

Praying for a ratings boost lol

He isn’t a regular announcer, he needs people to notice him

How does the least athletic player on the team get injured?

By doing something athletic like shooting an NBA three

He goofed. Tried to shoot a three instead of just working for the rebound.

That’ll teach him!

WTF just put Tony and Duncan back in. and please take Blair out. He is horrible at defense.

Blair has 3 rebounds in 22 mins

He was okay for a while, but it’s back to sucking again

yeah, he started playing well..

Kawhi stole some from him, lol

too many injuries, time to put Pop on the floor.

We are taking it way too casual

Pop calls timeout with 9:12 left in the game. Spurs up, 94-87.

Time for really small ball?

I never knew Morris could hit threes

Only against us

He cant, just against us when Blair gives him all the room to shoot.

Joseph is just a rookie

Jeez JB is reminiscing of his first kiss in junior high.

Blair the Bear!

Good pass Kawhi

Leonard to DeJuan, nice

nice pass by Leonard

Nice pass!!!! Wow Kawhi!

Blair redeeming himself

Looks like Pop trusts this group

Blair off a feed from Leonard.

nice D, Suns can’t get the ball in play…TO

What’s with the old fart lineup we have out there?

Pop wants to make it interesting

Brook Lopez was the most overrated center ever

Nice hair, though.

Didn’t Bonner play Center last year?

Don’t remind me

is he overrated? i thought he was pegged about right – pretty uesless.

Nah he had that one year in New Jersey

hang on…i’m getting my lopez’s mixed up.

he forgot how to rebound.

You can’t forget something you never knew in the first place

but this is Robyn Lopez, the even less useless one

Brook is also not the starting center, NJ just has nobody

Oh, sucks for them. I haven’t bothered checking in on their season so far.

Brook is injured right now, has been for a while

I like the lineup on the floor. These guys are getting some valuable playing time.

Robin Lopez might actually be better than Brook Lopez

He’s got more active hair, at least. It’s gets in the passing lanes a lot.

Commentator; “It’s very young group out there for San Antonio now”

Duh – are we too old or too young? Make up your mind!

I like how Pop keeps playing the young guys, trial by fire

Hey lets just give everyone open 3s. That seems to be working huh

Dang, Sean just said the Clips have only played 9 games, while Lakers have played 14.

Cory with the airball, then the steal

That should be a clear path foul.

Brown was ahead of the play

Way to keep playing, Joseph!

That was pretty weak Robin Lopez.

no, a Suns player was down, he was probably just stopping the pay.

that’s a stupid foul

could’ve seriously hurt cujo….

LOL “Shannon brown was sizing him up getting ready to block that shot” SHUT UP JON BARRY

Gortat was good with Nash last year, what happened?

Huh?

Gortat’s been playing well tonight.

He’s been bad overall. I remember he was beasting last year

I never get why Dwight can’t hit more FTs. He has good shooting form and arc

This. Guy would be an absolute beast if he could.

he never felt the need to work on his shot.

Didn’t he work with a shooting coach over summer?

he did? Didn’t make much of a difference then..

The problem, I feel, is that he has an inconsistent shooting motion.

Yeah, maybe he will work on it this offseason. He worked on his post moves for an offseason and look what happened.

Rage hasn’t scored much but he is +12

had plenty of assists early..

Yeah, he had 5-6 assists, I think

lets finish this

leave splots out there

Agreed. Choke them to death with defense.

Timmeh with the jumpah.

Timmie still on fire

Wait. Stop. Jon Barry said something good about one of our players.

He must have been momentarily confused.

Kawhi doesn’t look like a rookie out there.

did pop just used mustard?

use

Yes he did

bonner must be fired up

What better way to get Blair involved than to mention food?

2-in-1. blair and bonner. now if pop had used Moutarde de Dijon….

I see your point

Hey Bonner, here’s a sandwich!

i want another Duncan three on the wing!!

Gentry: I see you nash & a polish sausage.

Pop: Hmmm I raise you a Duncan and a French fry.

I hate Jon Barry

whoops meant to rec it but accidently flagged it, my bad

Pop seemed calm during that huddle.

Come on Blair no flops

That’s weak

Timmie still capable of 20 and 10

So Ford is hurt, Neal is hurt and CuJo is a rookie. What is Jacque Vaughn up to these days?

assistant coaching

We’ll give you Jonny Flynn for a your 2016 second rounder, but I don’t know if you would take it.

why has he taken such a big backward step? he was decent as a rook (admittedly on a terrible wolves team).

He was a lottery selection too, IIRC.

No defense, no court vision, will dribble the ball for 20 seconds and then pass it out.

He’s like Aaron Brooks from his 2010-11 season, the one that we dumped to Phoenix, except even worse.

Riding pine. Call his number, Pop!

Blair with an ugly flop there!

Damn, that was Nashty, I have to admit.

ok, jon barry has a point there – almost no-one should be able to knock blair over.

Yeah, except the Shaqtus, but obviously he’s retired.

He is the man with no ACLs

good excuse to get away with offensive foul

where was the foul?

TP answers right away!

FUCK NASH! Nash is good…

Ugh I hate those fucking calls.

Refs suck

Damn refs, listen to the lady!

You tell ’em lady!

Been that way since Jordan. To be honest, I love the game of basketball, but I hate the NBA. When Duncan hangs em up, I probably will too. Maybe I’ll hang around for the rest of Parker and Ginobili’s career..

Why cant we box out and get a fucking rebound? Lets just close this game out man. Its just fking Nash and Gortat that our scoring.

We don’t have energy for some reason

Suns are scrapping for every rebound

RJ needs to get involved in the offense. He has only taken 4 shots

nobody’s passing to him, when he’s gotten the ball, he’s passing it away

he does have 5 assists

TP’s got to set him up in those corners.

You can’t expect RJ to be the offense every night

How about some nights? Is that ok?

Duncan with a double double… playing well in this game!

I gotta run, y’all—here’s hoping our Spurs hold on for the win. It’s been fun! Go Spurs Go :D

Nice “meeting” you AirForce

what’s up with all this series of calls? the Suns is getting everything.

Look ma, no hands

He’s using his mind to levitate it

Danny’s got the ball on some fishing line.

no answer for that PnR

Ah wait, I see why Gortat is good again
He injured his hand, but now it’s healed.

RJ in the corner jumpimg and he didnt get the pass

Hell yeah, great inbound shot by Timmeh!

Saved by TImmy

The Magic were stupid to trade Gortat away

Timmy clutch shot!

Nash always gets by Tony..isn’t he 500 years old?/!

We really suck at p&r D

parker likes 4th quarters.

Jon Barry didn’t mention Steph Curry

And TP answers back again.

Parker is abusing Nash

Where’s Robert Horry when you need someone to put Nash into the scorer’s table?

blah mid range. shouledve taken th three

“Im getting the feeling shannon brown is going to knock down a three”- Jon Barry

I believe he sad Channing Frye

RJ with the J!

hah J. Barry crying for a foul

His commentary has just been asinine tonight.

Nash actually made a bad pass

2 more boards for Leonard’s double double

Spurs look like they have this

Hey now! You know the rule.

Brain fart for a moment there

Blair has to just take the shot

Finally some defense

That was great D on Nash

blair: me play point

RJ with manly rebound

I’m surprised the refs didn’t call a foul

Finally Spurs boxing out and rebounding!

TDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Money shot by Timmeh!

Timmeh with 24 points now, nice

his respect to Bird is out of the way now

Timmy still killing the Suns. Same old story.

no surprise there…

Timmy loves to play against the Suns

We should trade Timmeh. After tonight’s game, we might get something decent back.

one for one for Howard

parker with the force

This Duncan guy is pretty good, Spurs should re-sign him.

He’d be a nice trade asset.

not so fast. let’s him play some limutes first and prove that he belongs.

Is that “G thang” in the background? Or am I just way too tired?

Where?

sounded like it was being played on the PA at the game.

Yeah, it was, haha

lol sweet. Thanks

This announcing crew sucks

4Q Defense for the win!!

TP has 9 assts, let’s trade him for Nash

Nice offensive rebounding there.

come on, play smart to close out the game

Lawler’s Law, beaches.

Anderson is the new HVC

Upgrade over Quinn

So the Suns still can’t play defense, but don’t have offense now?

Nash got old…

He was good last year though

I don’t think age matters as much on players like Nash. I think he’ll be around for 4 more years

That sounds like a recipe for success. . . .

Ugly shot by RJ there… but Blair with an offensive rebound… Looks like the Spurs got this game

Should have been a blowout but we’ll take the win!

Anderson to seal the win!!

Romeo leading the Spurs with +16.

Is Alvin Gentry a good coach? I feel the only thing he does is play up tempo

----
:37.4 Phoenix Suns PHO Personal take on Jared Dudley

Nash in the bench looking hurt…

Spurs win! Spurs win! Spurs win!

Bonner’s back in the game. Glad to see he’s not hurt.

Okay, now I can say the Spurs win

Spurs win! Spurs win!

That’s a win. Not pretty, but I’ll take it.

ESPN, fire these announcers right now

schulmann is ok. barry though….oy vey.

Good win. Most of our young guys still playing great, just wish JA could join the party.

This. It’ll come. Pop’s putting in the fire now, he’ll come out gold later…

Good game! Could have been better but I’ll take the win anytime.

Spurs win! Wooot !

ok Win. gonna watch the replay later

On pace for 33-0 at home!

Would that be a record?

Dunno. I think the least was 2 losses or something.

Well, don’t expect me to do research

isn’t 40-1 the best home record of all time? ….boston in the 80s maybe?

I just care about the zero, man.

::cries and runs away::

can we call it now? still perfect at home.

Now we go on the road to take on the Heat. Win we must!!

Duncan: 24 pts and 11 rebs

It helps to play the Suns

let’s win against cHEAT

They have been bad recently

Time to get a road win! Hopefully Wade is out.

Yep. Game’s gonna be on NBATV, for those in the States.

OH very nice, no post game. How convenient!

spurs win and i’m 30 mins late for office. wohoo!

Where are you from?

spark’s from the Philippines.

The TV show or your job?

Anderson left standing on the sidelines trying to check in for a few seconds of action. Something’s got to be going on there that Pop isn’t playing him.

He looked at Pop the wrong way

not hitting his shots or being aggresive as Kawhi

Yeah, unfortunately, his shots aren’t falling, and he can’t defend like Kawhi or Danny.

His shot seemed to be just slightly off, never missing by much. Hard to get into a rhythm if you don’t get in the game. I agree everyone else is playing well, but they might as well send him to the Toros on an assignment if they’re going to have him sit. Reminds me of many people wondering whether Tiago was any good last year when he rarely had an opportunity to show what he could do.
