GAME THREAD: Spurs @ Blazers 3/25/11

[THE HCP]

WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY off topic, but did you guys see Dante swat the shit out of KG tonight!!??

My young one had her 6th b-day today. Took her to the game. Just finally back now - and she had witnessed maybe the best finish of a Blazers game I ever saw - better even than the Roy 3 against Houston. Great defensive lock-down and great execution down the stretch. I experienced lots of RG sounds walls - but this might have been the craziest of them all.

excellent vid with all the angles

love how mills is out there first to congratulate Nic - then tries to throw his towel in his face

Such a smart player and so cool under pressure. Remember how the Spurs were angling for him in the draft? KP got wind of it and traded with Houston. Thank you, Kevin. I bet Pops is reflecting on that fact tonight.

Nic claims that was his first game winner at ANY level.

Even Nic thought he was going to SA.

Check out his suit on draft day.

Spurs colors.

great first one to get, and over TP too - some good french one upsmanship there

That's amazing if true, for a guy who was good enough to start immediately in the NBA (even if only due to Webster's injury).

They're complaining about not having Duncan. I'll tell you what: We'll give you a healthy Timmy and you give us a healthy GO and Roy. Deal?

Where did he swat him to cause that reaction? How long did it take to clean up the floor?

Phenomenal! What a great memory for her. Tell her that a bunch of loser dudes with nothing else to do on a Friday night but to post on a basketball forum wish her a very happy birthday!

LOL. Spurs colors and Rockets hat. I'm so glad he became a Blazer at the end of the day

We let MIA come back on us at the end of the game and steal one and then we let the F'L*kers come back and take a game into OT, which they won. It was nice to get one back.

First response: ...Holy shit.

That's it. There are no other words.

 

[illmatic99]

Holy shit. SAME. FREAKIN. PLAY.

3 decoys, all faking picks, then a pick slip by the guy they're lobbing to.

[video=youtube;D32bhJhpRYM]

Against the Spurs too.

Yeah, and now you spend your Friday nights online posting on a basketball board random shit with a bunch of random dudes. Maybe he wants more for his daughters.

It wasn't even 10pm yet, champ.

...coming from a guy ragging on a message board, about another guy on a message board on a Friday night......okaaaaaaay ....

I believe the term you are looking for is self-deprecating. You stayed up awful late to post that, some kind of loser?

 

[bodyman5001]

By the way, I woke up with bad allergies so I stayed up playing Killzone 3 online and it was fun as hell. I am not a dork, I swear.

That last post was meant to be a joke.

I'd give them a healthy Timmy just for a healthy GO. Miller/Batum(yes at the 2!)/Wallace/LMA/GO, oh man i'd love that.

i think dre's steal and score to cut it to 2 was simply amazing, what a fucking play

 

[julius]

Hey! I resemble that remark!

 

[mgb]

And then the assist for the winning bucket. He put that just out of Nash's reach perfect for Batum.

 

[Rhal]

I was so bored I read threw the whole spurstalk thread about the game. I will never bitch about how down this place gets after a blazers loss again after reading that thread, i'll also stop complaining about the refs in game threads.

Thanks. She was all pumped up when we finally made it home. I think taking kids to Blazers games - win or lose - is a wonderful experience for them - especially at the RG with it's crazy energy.

I'm on East Coast time and when the Spurs went up about 8 in the fourth I figured it was over, turned off and went to sleep. Oops. Does anyone have a link for the last few minutes of the game?

Has anyone mentioned what a fan-fucking-tastic finish that was?

I'm still riding the high.
