Blizz-am! Just stoppin to say Go Spurs Go! Won’t be in the thread tonight, but know I’ll be here in spirit! Destroy all who dare use the subject line for me and somebody ruffle CapHill’s feathers.

I leave you with my all-time favorite song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7HfrpW3YCo

see you in the next game then! I’ll take that mission to heart. Destroy all subject line users! hahaha!

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCEY!!!!

Good morning/evening pounders!

was that meant for me?
;)

N-yes. Yes it was.

did you miss my drunken quickcrap jibber jabber from the last game?..
In rare form I was…

GO SPURS GO!!!!!!! Probably be popping in and out of the game thread tonight, but here’s hoping we get back on track tonight?

By the way, can we still call them the NOOCH? My favorite nickname for a team, ever.

You bet we can still call them the Nooch. I refer to the Nooch as the Nooch any chance I can, when discussing the Nooch.

Nooch!

May the good Bruce Bowen mojo bestow us with an easy win.

I hope my dad doesnt steal the computer from me so I can watch the game. Am I a bad son If I put some pills on his drink?

Depends on the pills.

Just to knock him out for a couple of hours

you should give him greenies so he’s compelled to go out and do something…

That’s OK then. As long as you don’t draw dicks on his face while he’s passed out.

Well the Lakers lost again

Hibbert > Bynum

Broken nose and all

Hi, everyone. I have no idea what to expect tonight. True to Spurs fashion of the last few years, our guys are keeping me in suspense when we face teams we should whip. Here’s hoping for the best!

I’m just hoping for a win. I don’t care if it’s a close game or a rout.

Hey, hey-hey!

Raj! What’s happening?

Well, the Spurs are favored by 4 1/2. So that’s good, I guess.

Were we favored last game?

I don’t know. I was out of town and didn’t get the chance to look.

Spurs now 1-2 against the Rockets. Man, the Rockets sure are lucky. Facing the Spurs twice at the last game of a FIGASENI…

Dunno about luck they’ve had the Spurs number for a while now.

“Coming through in the clutch?”

-SexSplots-

I’m just happy Manu is resting. Some of these young guys may not have had the PT otherwise.

Silver (and black) lining.

All right now, let’s get another win on the road tonight, boys.

If we could maybe make an occasional basket, it would help.

Lid has gone up recently.

The bulls wants oberto?

injury bug has hit them hard too.

Hello all. I have Spurs feed here in chilly wet NC and let’s go!

Howdy Tex! Very cool to get the local feed…

alirght got spurs feed

nooch feed…damn it.

first row sports has spurs feed

yeah, but i have league pass which is about a million times better in terms of quality…

ya someties I would just listen to crappy feed over league pass with voulme on silent when it was on free preview

We’ll share the oh mammas

dude just “inadvertently” scribbled over Peanut’s face…. Nice!

noticed that, lolo

dam this crappy feed stop lagging every second

Finally, a feed!

Ok RJ has first shot go in

I was worried there for a minute

Timmie has his first one go in

that 21 guy ain’t bad…

he is ole tho

good “ole” 21!
;)

We could have used some of that two nights ago.

no doubt… that looked good.

Leonard on Bellinelli is an interesting match up. They like to run Belli off screens and Kawhi struggles guarding that type of player.

Hard going through those solid screens

I’ll take the growing pains on that one, better than him trying to go all “AI” on offense (it’s offensive)…. save that for the off season please.

Of course, the worst offensive team in the league can’t miss. Crap.

We left the defense at home again

defence looks spectacular as per normal these days……..sigh.

“Kawhi not?”, said the Hornets color commentator. Ugh. I miss Sean Elliot.

yeah, looks like I got the Nooch feed too.

nice fake and three by RJ

that was some good lemonade…

RJ with a 3 to beat the clock!

just got here. what happened? geez…starters down again?

Timmie at the line for two

Its cool.

No ball movement.

we are super disorganized on offense tonite

do the spurs have an inside game?

nah, our best inside player is hot shooting mid range Js

lol nice but i don’t see tiago on the court…

I hate that Bonner is the first big off the bench. Splitter should be in there now. Need some scoring inside.

i rec’d this! wut

Tim is playing inside now. Splitter will come in for him.

someday we’ll see them side by side…

nice D by Kawhi there!

hot potato hot potato!

come on wow jack scored

Someone else is gonna score over 30 in first q against us again. Shit.

i was wondering if they’re gonna hit 40…

RJ again….ONly two scores, Timmie and RJ

They just won’t miss.

our d is slacking

left it back in San Antonio…

They are either making contested outside shots or Okafor is making ridiculous fades over Tim. What do you want them to take? They’re just making everything.

thats just been the story of the season, teams suddenly shoot ridiculously well against the Spurs..

And that was bad luck. Two chances to get the defensive rebound with three Spurs under the basket and the ball bounces to the two Hornets players, back to back.

yeah… hope the law of averages makes things better later on in the season.

well, at least RJ’s shooting well…

Optimist

maybe we can tell bruce that we’ll only retire his number if he comes back to play. he’d surely be better than what we’re showing now on the defensive end…

DAM IT POP YOU AND YOUR LOVE FOR BONNER

I think Bonner knows Pop’s secret

Mt Manu, Pythons are sick…
man I’m glad we have levity on our side!…

Good thng jack missed

Timmie looking well rested

Only cost us two Ls.

what the…who the hell is this anderson fellow?

wait what?! Anderson coming in!

Bonner stole??

Bonner with the steal, Green +1

splitter is in now yes!

Sparkles!

nice double team

another steal, Cory scores

the real team in!

What’s up fellow pounders? Haven’t been on one of these blogs for a while. Come on, Spurs!

the bench has turned this game around

fresh legs=more active D.

i swear i click on rec. not gonna try that again…my apologies…

Watch out its tied

Younguns spark

That was a funky FT by Splitter.

splitter…making free throws…

And immediately Tiago makes a difference.

goal is to keep them under 30 for the QTR

This is a very good defensive group, minus Bonner.

It’s a good group to hide Bonner’s suckitude

give him some credit tonight

He’s played three minutes. Give it time.

Am thinking positive

hey what happened to kaman? he doesn’t look anything like his photos…

good leave CuJo!

Greetings and salutations.

excellent timing!

Whatever happened to your “game time beaches”?

It’s still around, whenever I get to actually catch the start of the game on time. Damn you West Coast time!

Hell yea again

is anderson afraid to shoot?

Ha, Andeson just jacked Bonner.

Eww forgot vasquez is with nooch now. Dislike him.

Do my eyes forsake me? Is that James Anderson in the game?

the universe will be ending tomorrow.

Dec. 21 is just around the corner

Evening all…how we looking?

the second of that quarter was better than the first half.

you mean when the bench went in?

What’s up with the bad camera angle? It’s like someone is at the game streaming it live and hiding the camera so they will not get caught.

well they are in n’awlins

Alright! We kept them below 30! That’s a start… Spurs with a 2 pt. lead!

We gave up 28 points in that quarter. Oh well.

That’s good considering how the game started

They shot 50% FG, 50% 3FG, and 100% Fts. it’ll even out. Already is.

Our bench = our saviors yet again! GSG!

What happened to Anderson’s 3-point shot?

He’s doing the reverse Bonner… he’s going to make all his threes in the playoffs. If we ever get there.

Doesn’t help when you start thinking that if you miss you might not play for another week.

My stream is still in the 1st.

Welcome to the future. Would you like to know the powerball numbers?

That would be nice!

Oops, the draw just finished. Try again next time!

nice pass by TP, great finish by Splitter

They have developed some chemestry.

a lot of Splitter’s field goal last game were assisted by TP…

as they should be.

much like Manu and Blair

yall hear that? Bonner fighting on the boards

I hated vasquez before he was in the nba.

Verde with the block!!

Another assist for TP by Tiago

when tiago gets kaman’s jumper…look out.

Splitter scoring inside again!

Nice re-post. Very nice.

splots for mvp!

team mvp…until manu returns.

make him wear manu’s cape!

say, if we had kaman on our team…nevermind.

we have Splitter

Splitter again! They’re really looking for him in the post!

Hes getting the confidence now

he may be playing well, but I still think his hook shot looks awkward…

TP with 8 assist?

a pleasant surprise isn’t it? And yet he still has to make a field goal…

He hasnt attempted one

and there you go.

oooops. thats what I meant..

are y’all seeing the feed i’m seeing? ‘chili cheese me’…

Who knew Tiago was a frickin’ scoring machine?

I’m surprised there are celebrities at this game.

rebound over blair…why not duncan and splitter again?

Solid screen by Splots.

man I wanted the dunk for Tiago

i vote for splitter starting and blair the first big off the bench

damn it! Tiago had that dunk!

Landry is beasting Blair

yeah, that matchup is not working.

yet he remains in the game

I’m not suprised.

Timmie with the drive

pop is experimenting with the rotations a bit after the starters

Anderson went in before Neal…

Evening all, sorry I’m late. Splitter is looking good—in more ways than one.

And I understand every way that you mean

Anderson’s played the most minutes of the bench group so far.

Pop is fucking with us big time.

Thats why he makes the big bucks

Oops. Beat me to it.

anyone know what happened to Pop that made this possible?

Because Pop likes to fuck with us

and Neal has the least minutes, Even Cujo played more than him…

Weird half so far; Timmie 0 boards, TP 9 Assists

Bonner 5 Blocks ?

And what 2 steals or 1

Bonner? Yahoo sports boxscore hasn’t credited him with a steal yet…

I think they gave it to Green

not that crazy

He had 1 for sure

Just a heads up to our Filipino readers, we have a Twitter feed dedicated now! Follow us at @PtRinPinoy

just followed it. Salamat sa pagmamahal!

don’t start that crap nooch…

My wife is watching Twilight for the 847th time. Someone please shoot me now.

bang!

bang! bang! bang! bang! bang! click click

Here’s what you do. Replace the Twilight DVD with a custom DVD of you dancing in your underwear.

bratatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata! kachink! bratatatatatatatatata..etc

Thanks everyone, I’m definitely feeling the love.

James Anderson says RAWR!!!

TITI on the floor together?

helps the rebounding for sure

I always laugh when I read that.

splitter and duncan on the floor together. will bless my soul. thanks, pop!

Splots – Timmy frontcourt.

Parker finally starting to score!

Woo hoo thanks Pop

Tiago and Tim are playing together

::looks outside for meteor::

wtf?

it’s over. did you miss it?

Neal for threeeeeeeeeee

parker gets bailed out…this lineup needs some minutes to figure things out…

I’m frustrated like Sean Elliott. They need to get the ball more to Tiago.

And there it goes

TP with the double-double

I’d have lost a bet on that one, if you’d ask me who the first Spur to get one is.

Duncan with the Dunk

double double by tp

duncan NOT getting the call…

more assists for TP.

as it should be.

oh yeah, so tony didn’t get fouled, but that was obviously a foul by tim? shut up new orleans commentators.

forgive them, they know not what they see.
