You're getting desperate PN.

This has heartbreaker written ALL over it.

You idiot

Didn't expect that at all. All season it's lead and then when we're challenged we give it up in the last...and even though we'd turned that around a little recently, when the lead was cut to 4 I thought they'd run over the top of us.

As long as Hill's sprained ankle isn't too bad, and whatever Dice has done isn't too bad it's a really, really good win.

Now not to lose the 'easy' game at Sacramento like we did against New Jersey after the big wins last weekend.

Oh, and no Spurs game is complete without Manuuuuuu turning in a blinding last quarter.

Stupid shot from LeBron.

Since when do Memphis get Denver like FT attempts away from home? Either touch fouls are the order of the day (which might be the case after the Cavs/Boston game earlier), the fix is on, or Orlando are simply failing at defending.

LOLakers got reamed by the Spurs with Kobe thanking Jerry Buss for $30 million a year by shooting an inspiring 8-24, while Manu continues on his merry way of dominance.


And it appears the Warriors will beat Toronto in Toronto. Epic lulz.

 

[PHX]

6:14 — Matt Barnes elevated to shoot and pushed off Hasheem Thabeet as he did it. Didn’t get up very high and crashed to the ground, but was still called for an offensive foul about which he went berserk. As he started to run after the ref to argue the call, he bumped into Thabeet who turned around and shoved Barnes. You all know Barnes’ personality — that really set him off and got most of both teams involved in a melee down by the Grizzlies’ bench. O.J. Mayo got a shove in on Barnes and five technicals were assessed. Two on Barnes who tore off his jersey and disgustedly threw it as he walked away from the court, ejected, one on Carter, one on Mayo and one on Thabeet. Then the Grizzlies took the lead shortly thereafter. 59-58, Memphis.

Hopefully it's amusing viewing.

Stephen Curry just choked on 2 FT to give the bloody Raps a chance here.

 

[PHX]

Wow GSW really tried to lose that game and still might if a Raptor can hit a 3 and take it to OT.

 

[Dirtywhirl]

Wow, crazy finish. Toronto stole the in bounds pass but Bosh blew the runner.

Don Nelson ties the record for most NBA wins as a coach. They have the Wizards, Clippers and Timberwolves coming up so he is a chance to take the record this week.

 

[RoosterLad]

Well somehow GSW turned it over with 2 seconds left but Bosh missed the layup.

Good win for GSW, keeps Chicago's playoff dreams alive.

 

[Rick18]

Ah crap, Hill's out for the rest of the road trip and possibly longer. Disaster.

Come on, it's not all bad. At least now you get to watch Roger Mason jack up off-the-dribble threes all game long.

And really, as long as Manu's being Manu, you could put a D-grade MSAC team around him and he'd still carry them over the line.

 

[Naitawhoey]

Shocking news about Hill. For all the talk about this years crop of guards I cant help but feel Hills year has been forgotten or lost in the shuffle. What pick was he again? Hes got the tools to be a better version of Tony Parker really

 

[Thewlis Dish]

I think you under-estimate just how good Parker is.

Hill is promising though.

Im a bit lost in the whole Manu contract hoo hah

Is he a free agent next year?

How much does he want?

San Antonio really wont let him leave will they?

I think you understimate just how much I love Hill. One of my favorite players going around right now

 

[Rick18]

Is he a free agent next year?

Yeah, end of this season.

How much does he want?

No-one really knows for sure. He's on almost $11mil this season, so maybe a touch less for 3 years, or maybe about the same for 2...I don't know, it's hard to figure out.

San Antonio really wont let him leave will they?

If we let him leave, I'll cry. And I'm not even sure I'm joking.

Oh, and Hill definitely needs to improve his passing, but apart from that he's coming along nicely.

Wouldnt surprise me if he wanted more with the salary cap room some teams have. Maybe he will ask for 15.

The more time Hill has to think about a pass the more likely he is to fluff it. You can tell hes the type of player who rarely past it as a youngster anyway

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Durant has now scored the most points in a single season in the history of Seattle and Oklahoma, breaking Dale Ellis' record.

It seems he sets a new mark for something every week.

 

[peternorth]

Crap lakers !!!! flipping shithouse

Spurs dont want him to leave but Manu wants to explore Free Agency and see what kind of deal he can get.

Nice line from Blatche, 20/9/12 assists.
