Good to see
Peja sticking it to Bowen. Especially looked the scowl he gave Bruce running back up court.

Bad to see
Duncan shooting well and hitting those bank shots.

WTF is going on? Did they spike the gatorade? We cant hit shit!
by mattmc89 on May 15, 2008 8:38 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah seriously
and Ime Udoka can’t miss. This will turn around. Hopefully.

Bonzi definitely forcing
Seems like he’s trying to make up for not doing anything the rest of the series. No isn’t the time to mess it all up!

Come on guys, at least keep it close for the 3rd Q.
by mattmc89 on May 15, 2008 8:48 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Spurs are shooting 69.2%, 18-26. Crazy.

Unrealistic
It’s gonna stop. Mark my words.

Mo Pete!
46-39, lead down to 7 off a Mo Pete 3. CP is on fire with those little jumpers, 11 pts, 5 assts.

I love how Mike Breen is making up random stuff
“Parker has been a clutch performer” Yeah right. Go look up his elimination game stats.
by atthehive on May 15, 2008 8:54 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Wooo!
Come back, alley-oop to Tyson. 46-41, Bowen cannot guard Paul.

What do you guys think of the reffing so far?
by atthehive on May 15, 2008 8:59 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Duncan got a few calls with his trademark move at the beginning, it’s in SA, so they’re getting the calls, if any. Not many yet.
And now Chris picks up his 2nd.
by Junsier on May 15, 2008 9:01 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Its not TOO one sided
But I dont think its even either
by mattmc89 on May 15, 2008 9:04 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm doing a little experiment
where I got a Spurs fan and Matt Moore (neutral) to see how many “bad” calls each team gets. So far I counted 2 bad for SA, 2 bad for us (Pargo getting called for the second block, the last Duncan fadeaway thing, Parker fouled on the fastbreak, and I can’t remember the last). The Spurs guy should check in some time soon with his tally.

Damn you Manu
Just hit back to back threes, but Peja at the line down 9.

"I have a man-crush on Manu Ginobili!"
What a dork…
by mattmc89 on May 15, 2008 9:03 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I can forgive him
due to his Paul Olympic thing
by atthehive on May 15, 2008 9:04 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Man we need to find Peja
He was smoking in the first
by atthehive on May 15, 2008 9:05 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Tim Duncan wasn't his idol. Robinson was.
Shut up Mike Breen. You are an idiot.
Nice class from Timothy though.

Woooo
That layup was awesome. But delay of game? Seriously?

I could afford season tickets :)

Halftime Thoughts
Spurs outshot us by 10% (!!!) David West has been awful (3-10) missing some easy shots. Spurs are 5-8 from three. I’m feeling very good to be down only 7.
BUT, CP3 did not get a minute of rest, and much of DX’s poor night has to attributed to Tim Duncan.
Let’s eat ‘em alive in the third!!! Geaux Hornets!!

I’m a displaced Hornet fan unfortunately. You? Take some pictures if you do!

No camera for me tonight. It needs a break. Honeybees are taxing ;)

L.A. unfortunately
Though I got to meet CP3 and crew when they came to Staples.
Although I’d rather not remember that game… can’t believe we got down THIRTY

Im a CA expatriot

At the rate Im spending on the blogs, I will probably get fired. I HAVE to be hyper-productive tomorrrow, so no. Sarah will fan up for both of us

Bob Licht Observations
Three Points for Winning on the Round
1) Score 100 pts, they have 51 right now, on pace. Check.
2) Win 83% of games when they shoot 45% from field. 47% right now, check.
3) Peja (in season) is averaging 3 made threes, he has hit 3 already. Check.
Trail by 7, but it’s always the third Q that matters.
by Junsier on May 15, 2008 9:25 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
OK
Fine it was. Nice job smacking Bowen though. :P
He has four fouls?!?
by Junsier on May 15, 2008 9:38 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Wait really?? 4 fouls?
It was a foul though.
by atthehive on May 15, 2008 9:40 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ouch
THAT WAS NOT A FOUL. And D West is pissed. CP with 4, D with 3.
Lol, and Tyson Chandler calms down Paul and West, nice.
by Junsier on May 15, 2008 9:39 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
yeah, he needs to sit
but the officiating is BULLSHIT! That second on Paul was BS, the first on West was BS. BULLSHIT!!!!

Props to Tim Duncan for great D

Suck a bag of dicks. Sorry

If I was Byron Scott
I might bench DX right now. Let him clear his head, and let him eat S.A.’s backups alive.

Within 8
I don’t call him CP3, I call him MVP.

The crescent City Connection
As long as we can hit those, we are IN THE GAME
by mattmc89 on May 15, 2008 9:50 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
SA's 3 point luck is going to run out very soon.
Alley oop dunks? That’s the sort of thing that works forever. And the Spurs can’t guard it.
by atthehive on May 15, 2008 9:52 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Lame
Enough said. D West is missing it all.
by Junsier on May 15, 2008 9:59 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
looking BAD
Sit west and let him stew until the next game and watch him break an NBA record
by mattmc89 on May 15, 2008 10:01 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Man
So close… they just hit some jumpshots. This game is so much closer than it seems.
by atthehive on May 15, 2008 10:03 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
has your spurs guy responded about the fouls yet?
by mattmc89 on May 15, 2008 10:03 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Nope
Any time now. Right now I have it at 4 bad calls (good for Spurs) and 2 bad for us. The two new ones were the second offensive on CP3 and the stupid touch one when DX was screened. Honestly, I don’t think the Spurs surged ahead because of poor officiating. They just hit some timely shots… you can call that luck or whatever you want.
But David West has been SO off today, it’s sad to see :(
by atthehive on May 15, 2008 10:06 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ouch, D West hit down, Horry smacked him.
by Junsier on May 15, 2008 10:07 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
No it wasn’t.
Superman wears Manu Ginobili pajamas to bed.
by CMoney on May 16, 2008 10:57 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
D West back in the locker room, ouch. Took a pretty hard hit.
by Junsier on May 15, 2008 10:10 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Bees missed the last 11 shots they’ve taken, CP back in.
by Junsier on May 15, 2008 10:10 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Wow
That was seriously Dirty. This is why I have no respect whatsoever for Ben Gay Bob.

This is garbage time, all starters are coming out, we’ll see Game 7 then.

I cant watch any more. It hurts too much
by mattmc89 on May 15, 2008 10:18 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah
Just turned it off. I can’t believe Robert Horry. Bush-league at its finest. And to think the guys over at that Spurs blog were calling OUR players classless? Unbelievable.
by atthehive on May 15, 2008 10:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Fluffy out with a bruised back, he has 4 days to recover. Some last thoughts:
1) Home team always, wins, Hornets at home in game 7.
2) D West has had crazy awesome games with crappy games, so he’ll have an awesome game on Monday.
3) Cooler team (NOH) should win.
And I’m out for today.
by Junsier on May 15, 2008 10:22 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Highway Robbery
5 fouls and a tech over a 1:23 span…the game was changed and the Spurs never looked back. Unbelievable. If the refs call a game like that in Nola I will personally eschew my season tickets and charge the court…
