This was the F*** you all game

PrintThis wasnt just a simple game. Dont ever for a second believe that this was just another game for the methodical, proffesional spurs.
125-95
Hear me people, this is the most invested, focused and determined I have ever seen the spurs on a regular season game. And it was a big "F*** YOU" to the whole media, to ESPN, and to the rest of the NBA.
Tonight, the spurs let out the real beast. Popovich and crew sent a message: "we are 51-11 and we were fuckin coasting the whole time"
Dont believe me? How do you explain Tony Parker coming OUT OF NOWHERE from a suposed 4 week absence to play just like he was never injured? As it was pointed out at 48minutesfromhell, even on the shootaround and just before the game parker was acting like he wasnt at full strength. It was just a big conspiration to fuck with miami's game plan.
When was the last time Tim said "GAME OVER" in the first quarter of a game? Heck, when was the last time he said it in ANY quarter of any game?
Did you see Parker getting pushed violently by Dampier and laughing his ass off afterwards?
I think that the Spurs were getting ready for this game, getting ready to show the world who they are, how good they can be at full strength. They were determined to embarras the heat. But in Spurs fashion: with extra passes, with great rotations, playing as a team. Yes we were showboating, but in a way only the spurs can. We insult other teams by playing smart, unselfish basketball. And tonight, we did it for most of the 48 minutes.
So Fuck you ESPN and casual fans. We just destroyed your dear "team", if we can call it that. And it was all part of the plan. Pop already knew this was a win long time ago. He is a genius like that. He has tiger blood and adonis DNA.
Oh...and we rested MCdyess so he can make another winning tip in against the lakers on sunday.
FUCK YOU, WE ARE FUCKIN GOOD. We are tired of flying under the radar, but we'll keep it that way until games really matter. Tonight was just a little sneak peak., our guys having fun, enjoying to be so so so good as a team. Well get back to coasting for three quarters and closing the game in the 4th really soon.
Oh and....FUCK YOU LEBRON. And FUCK YOU WADE. Tell me how Matt bonner ass tastes.
AND BOSH? You are a joke. You let Lebron transform you into Drew Gooden.

just awesome
Miami isn’t a bad team but all year they have played defense and that has been at least as big a part of their success as the offense…is it a coaching issue or a team issue or what but we had more WIDE OPEN LOOKS from 3 tonight then i can remember. we had to hit the shots and we did and it could have looked different if we had an off night but with those looks we had to shot those shots…what weird is a good def team seemed like they were daring us (nice scouting on the best 3pt shooting team in the league) to shot WIDE OPEN 3S.
after the 1st qt i wrote this on the game thread and in the 2nd it seemed like we took alot less 3s because they were covering up but the the 2nd half was the same crap all o no d from miami. i don’t hate miami but i do like a big f you to ESPN! :P
I was at the game lastnight, and there was a HIGH VOLUME of bang wagon James garbage jersey\shirts everywhere. Made me SICK! I can guarantee 95% of those people have never even been to South Beach.
You put it so to the point that this was a F you to everyone game. Saying if you don’t believe in us, then we’ll show you what we can really do.
No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try.
Ask any Heat fan about Rony Seikaly, Zo, and their rivalry with the Bulls and Knicks. If they think of the rivalry only in terms of this season, bandwagon. If they have no idea who the players are, bandwagon.

Great point, SO.
My guess is that there are way too many people wearing Mr James’ Heat jersey who would have nothing to contribute to a conversation about how much they hate the Knicks and Bulls.

I don’t hate him, but he’s been overrated since he was with Boston. He’s no better than our old friend, Roger Mason, Jr., and is poor man’s Gary Neal, and that’s an understatement.

House is a better player than RMJ. But then most players are better than RMJ. RMJ is almost like a one hit wonder in that he did well for most of one season but really hasn’t ever done much beyond that.

It’s too bad. I hope he’s able to catch the lightning in a bottle again, or have a really great post-basketball life — or both!

From everything I read about him, he sounds like he could have a good post-career, but probably not involved in basketball.
I still feel a little like he slighted the Spurs by playing with his injury and not telling the medical staff about it for a few weeks.

Playing through injuries is something every player does. While I don’t condone hiding it, as he seems to have done, I can understand how a line that seems clear-cut to us might be full of gray lines in the practice of a player in the NBA.

I would like to think that the smart players understand the danger of hiding injuries, and realize that they’re not trained medical professionals. It’s one thing to be tough and gritty and play through tolerable pain; it’s another to withhold information that could help the team (by allowing them to help you keep from further hurting yourself).

If the team knew he was injured, they would have likely sat him. This is the Spurs after all, one of the most cautious teams. I know he wanted to be traded and there was some talk of him in deals.
He was basically trying to ball and make himself more attractive so other teams would want him. Obviously the complete opposite happened and his shooting never really recovered from his little hot streak (after he struggled badly to start the season).
I don’t have too much ill will against him, but he definitely seemed selfish. That play time could have gone to some of the younger guys at the time.
I think there is a difference between playing through injuries and hiding injuries. In the case of Mason Jr. it was an injury that directly affected his shooting and dribbling abilities. Basically Spurs kept trying to play him through his “supposed” slump, but obviously there was a stronger answer to it which was unknown to the team.

I would’ve written the same in the recap, but I’m not ready to go to jail yet. Maybe when we reclaim the Larry O’Brien.
Anyway, I rec’d this so effing hard.

You know what makes me laugh? When the Spurs are mentioned in SB Nation, which is rare, it’s never about them unless they lose. Look at the title of the story today – Miami Falls Flat in 125-95 Loss. Not Spurs Crush Miami, not anything like that. Hey, whatever, we don’t need it. And if we are the only ones happy in June, that will be okay too….
After LeBron sent out that tweet about no friends, it’s war from now on, this game was poetic justice. LeBron, karma is a witch and she doesn’t have friendly spells when you piss her off. I hope you don’t figure that out any time soon. Another hint, the friends you need to cut loose are the ones giving you really, really bad advise. One last thing, your family is not royalty, therefore you can not be a king. Sorry. You’re just a guy with loads of natural talent who is really good at BB, too bad that can’t be enough for you.
I’ve thought about getting a life, but I’m afraid it would get in the way of my Spur addiction.

I thought that same thing. Watching highlights afterward and thinking how ironic it was that the bent on the story was “Heat lose” instead of “Spurs win.” But, then again, that’s really not that different than anything we’re used to.
I was actually surprised at ESPN’s coverage immediately following the game, however. Usually when John Anderson (who I think is arguably their most objective ’caster) was leading the panel, there was a lot of pro-Spurs talk and even Anderson himself lamented that everyone again seems to be sleeping on the Spurs, and that they deserve their due. The coverage got progressively Heat-focused from there onward into the night, but that was a bright spot. And at one point, Mark Jackson referred to the Spurs play as “picture perfect basketball we got to see tonight.”
But overall, yeah, we’re looking up at the radar again. And though often frustrating, I again love it.

It’s all seen through the eyes of the Heat much as all things Lakers is seen from their perspective. What’s wrong with Miami replaces the pre-ASB What’s wrong with the Lakers talk anytime they lose to Boston, San Antonio or Miami. Umm, maybe these teams are good, just not as great as assumed, or at least not as great as the best in the league this season. The idea of that seems to be beyond the grasp of people paid to study these things.

I love Argentines. Except for LD, of course.
Great post. Drunken and passionately biased or not, you make some great points that can’t be overlooked. This definitely was a statement game for us, and I too was shocked to see Timmy saying “Game over.” Clearly, something like you alluded to was discussed before the game and planned out to perfection.

Im the ying to LD yang
"Kevin Garnett once described defending Tim Duncan as "trying to guard a tree"
I hope that’s not some sort of euphemism.
[ "Duncan, the Spurs' 34-year-old captain, was aghast when Splitter told him he used to watch him as a kid."]
"I didn't enjoy that at all," Duncan said
LD is the good argentine. You wont find anyone more thoughtful and respectful. He will take a good time to make a post.
I just vomit insults
"Kevin Garnett once described defending Tim Duncan as "trying to guard a tree"
I hate to burst your bubble, but Tim didn’t say Game Over to Miami. He said that to Richard Jefferson.
The day after the Miami game, Tim told the local media the story behind that incident. Apparently he and Richard have been discussing (disagreeing, really) who is the better 3 point shooter. Richard has been backing Gary Neal and Timmy was standing by Matt Bonner. (Apparently Manu is in the middle trying to stir up the argument).
There had been some conversations regarding a possible 3 point shoot out between Bonner and Neal, but that hasn’t come to pass. Anyway, after Matt’s El Fuego 1st quarter against Miami, Tim turns to Richard and tells him “Game Over”.

I heard that Timmeh and RJ were talking about some guy they both knew who decided to get married. Tim just casually mentioned “game over”, which is pretty common reaction to such news. Of course, media has blown this all out of any reasonable proportion, as usual.

I knew it. It just wasn’t Duncan-like to call the game over that early.

I don’t know, but if I was looking for a Greek figures lineage to spring forth from, it would probably be one like Zeus, Hercules, Apollo, etc.
But I guess Adonis will do (He was such an effin good-looker)
[ "Duncan, the Spurs' 34-year-old captain, was aghast when Splitter told him he used to watch him as a kid."]

it was a charlie sheen reference.
BTW I always loved charlie Sheen. He is just having a blast right now and doing his best comedic performance. He cant be serious.
"Kevin Garnett once described defending Tim Duncan as "trying to guard a tree"
I see. Sorry, I do not have cable or a TV, so I’m out of the pop culture celebrity loop. (I don’t actually watch anything except for movies and basketball even when I do have cable TV)
Hopefully I will have these in time for the postseason.

Our guys are approaching playoff mode. This is great experience for youngsters like Neal, Anderson, and Splitter, and even guys that had a taste last season like Blair. They’re upping the ante, defending homecourt with cold passion, and looking to leave a mark at a time where the schedule presents some possible playoff foes. Very nice. Even better to ruin ESPNs night, as TVs across the east coast were able to switch off early on a Friday night as the Heatles were being dismantled.

I dunno. ABC only plays the “teams that are both good and we think the average public will watch” on the Sunday games. And the Spurs are on ABC on Sunday A LOT. So I think you get more respect than you think (I am a Blazer fan- we were on ABC once, haha)
Today’s game was, well, not good.
The other team carries the matchup though. Like it would be Heat and Spurs, Lakers and Spurs, Mavs and Spurs, Boston and Spurs, etc….
Spurs get some respect, but not that much. I like it that way, but some fans want it more than others.

we crushed miami by 30 without any of our starters in the 4th.
we were crushed by lakers by 16 with some of their starters in the 4th.
and now the lakers fans are celebrating like crazy.
and the media (see all the power rankings this week), put lakers at #1.
wow, ive never seen a power rankings when the top team with the lead of at least 5 GB is at #3….
Welcome to the NBA and how the media sees it. It’s such a long season they have to sensationalize it so that the casual fan will pay attention.
To be fair, LA is on a 7 game win streak.

Snapped at 8 by the Miami Heat. ( Who DESPERATELY needed a win)
A man gets the eye of a Tiger, but a Tiger gets the eye of a Manu.
Which REALLY begs the question about how big that loss to LA actually was. We destroyed Miami, LA destroyed us, Miami swept the RS with LA. Makes perfect sense. In the RS.

And the Heat, a team with very real size issues, out-rebounded the Lakers in both games. Must mean the Lakers have a rebounding problem.
