Keys to the game!
1) Will Lewis leave the victoria secret panties at home and bring his game tonight? (i've got cases of ham on the line here in a bravado claim i made at spursreport the other day.)
2) Will Parker choose today to do his dissapearing act? A 5-15 performance with multiple I'm confused, sitting on the bench shots would work fine and dandy for me, thank you.
BTW, I've been hearing all day a bunch of rumors regarding Ray Allen today... So is it true?
Is Ray Allen going out with Katie Holmes? Awesome! Radical even!
Yes, and Tom Cruise is reportedly pissed about it.
I warned you it would happen Matt! I f**king told you!
TNT is reporting that Ray is in the starting lineup.
By the way, you realize that the Sonics performed better without him last game.
This isn't going to work as well as I hoped. I don't have a computer and television in the same room (I forgot the cable splitter is being used with the TiVo).
If Ray Allen doesn't play:
SA 106
SEA 87
If Ray Allen does play:
SA 110
SEA 91
An Allen-warming up pre game sighting!! Oh yeahhh.. Get your roll on peeps! It's on! Mrs. Allen, can Ray please come out and play? And do his best Michael Jordan 40+point-saddled-with-a-flu-career-defining performance? With a cherry on top?
s'ok.
I'll hold down the fort, Matt
Oh God!!!
catterpillars raccoons ski jumping koala pajamas.
I'm back. Had to move the computer into the hall.
Damn, it was dusty back there.
Damn TNT and their exclusivity clause on second round games.
You know, just as i had predicted, the NBA and TNT are shoving the Miami Heat down our throats. I mean, I get it and all. A legit title contender, 2 super duper stars, but give me a frikkin break! But..
Those 1st round nets-heat games sucked ass and they threw their best broadcasting teams on all 4 of them, just like today, put them in the prime time slots, 1 game on the ABC game of the week... all the while McGrady was putting on a great performance in a great Mavs-Rockets series and that series was put on the backburner. Inexcusable.
And the fact that Seattle outscored SA in the second half of game 1 means Nothing. That's "nothing" with a capital "N" in case anyone missed it.
The Spurs were up eleventy billion at half time; of course they are going to be flat to start the second half.
Your mama Matt... Your mama.
I predict that Bruce Bowen will give Ray Allen the old Nancy Kerrigan treatment during the first dead ball.
Is this before or after pulls out the billyclub and breaks some MF'ing kneecaps.
I teased the game 5 points for the Spurs and the over...I got it at SA -5.5 and over 180.
Before. The billyclub is the encore performance.
Holy crow, it's the Thompson crew back again!!! Can...I....BE....any more excited!
Shit. Luke needs to stay in the game.
maybe the peepee yellow color will bring them luck
TD!
Hell yeah, we got Da Blade on! How'd the bruce bowen lap dance expose go down the other night? Did he get the champagne room treatment?
Ray allen looked like earl boykins on that one....deserved an oscar
Really, I don't get it, how did Allen become the San Antonio antichrist? You guys are elevating him to a level you don't even believe he's at? I'm confused.
no matter what they say...there is no sex in the champagne room
Every single Supes play with Barry in the game NEEEDS to be run through 'Shard. This is fucking absurd.
Yeah, TP with an open 20ft miss! gimme some mo'!
And this is why players bitch to the media.
C'mon Shard!! Demand the f**king ball!
allen will get every call tonight....are we in denver?
Officiating is very pro-sonics right now
Wow.
case and point
Ah, so that's why they call him "The Sickness"
Rid's playing well.. it's in combo with parker not looking too assertive yet.
oops.. spoke too soon
I think Chapman is related to Ridnour. And just once I would like to hear a commentator say "This guy will NEVER be a terrific player."
need a faster pace...it is a solid under pace halfway through the first
What's the O/U on the number of times Pop has said "rebound" during this time out? 4.5?
He's white Matthew. Move on.
And Ray Allen is either working off adrenaline or the injury ain't as bad as feared.
I don't begin the O/U extrapolation until after the first quarter. Unless it's working in my favor. Then I start from the opening tip.
Dude. He barely tweaked his ankle. It'll probably start hurting again when the Spurs get their first 15 point lead.
Well, the Spurs do have to rebound to win, Matt.
Prior to that Horry 3, Horry was trying to set up Bowen on a post up. Huh?
JJ already has more REB than game 1.
The spurs need to break the sonics' rhythm
wow...the sonics are in trouble tonight
What happened to the rest of the Sonics?
is there a refresh button on this thing?
Is there a refresh button for the game?
The Sonics should have up down up down left right left right B A select started before the game.
there should be one...kinda like when getting kicked by the computer when playing Tecmo Bowl... it wasn't anything that the magic restart button couldn't fix.
Fuck you Tony.
NO YOU DIIIIIIIIINT.
Dude, Tony elevated!
Tony Parker is the ugliest most beautiful people of all time.
I'm feeling a bit unwell right now..
Hey Guaman, you are free to talk about the vast difference between Luke and AD on this here blog.
I'm feeling a bit queasy right now, seriously. And also, like the Sonics, feeling like i'm outnumbered...
How about man tears Matt, are they allowed on this blog?
this just in...reggie evans strained his labia majora
seriously, have you ever seen a big man play like a bigger pussy....oh wait, I have....his name was david....or was it tim....no, no....it was rasho.
Matty da Blade... slamming the Solid Slovenian at every opportunity.
Man tears are ENCOURAGED. We are having a drum circle later.
the more nazr plays, the more I appreciate the solid slo
You just don't know, i can turn that trick Reggie in to a quick couple of c-notes on the right block!
"The body language of the Sonics leaves alot to be desired"
It begins. Thompson-TV. Fan-tas-tic!
the lack of scoring is pissing me off
The Wife: "Collison would be cute if his nostrils weren't so big."
Get The Wife a keyboard pronto!
Nice post move from Nazr.
You know... i hear lot's of folk talk about how daniels always takes shots... but noone should blame him for this run of shots. No Sonic is asking to be involved... I'm talking to you Ms. Lewis!! Yeah, you in the pink dress. F**king b**ch...
da blade nice interview of pj. i enjoyed reading it....TheWife
ahh booth ill bake you cookies after tonight..TheWife
thanks, The Wife.
The Booth
Small positives: that was a textbook defense of the Parker pick and roll by Collison and A.D.
Wow. Every time the Sonics get going, they get a turnover or foul or something.
38-22 and counting...
The lambs... the lambs are STILL screaming...
I think The Wife is hitting on you.
Chapman and this dervish crap... someone buy him a thesaurus.
I can score A basketball, but not THAT basketball.
Allen throws the ball away on a FB opportunity (at least the best FB opp. the spurs'll give.)
Ay dios mio...
Sonics goal with 5 min remaining should be to cut it to 10... and get Fort to take one for the team and put Parker out of commission.
Ginobili is the only player in the NBA who makes that pass. He's 5-6, with a wide open three, and tries to get a layup for Horry.
HE NEEDS TO SHOOT THE BALL.
Ray Allen would be a defensive liability in a wheel chair game.
Where the hell would the Supes be without A.D.
Can someone here please argue to put Rid in? Please?
YAWWWWWGHHHHH!!!! 31-42!
Matt, I don't know why, but at A's nation they put a capper on game threads after a couple hundred or so comments and begin a new one. Don't ask me why. Just throwing that out there.
Duncan has what, 4 FGA?
SHOOT THE MOTHERFUCKING COCKSUCKING BALL YOU FUCKING FUCKER.
Why are Duncan & the Sickness giving up shots/plays?
This is where Doug Collins would chip in with his patented "key 4 point swing you should remember happened here..."
Yeah 'Shard!! DOOOOOO it!
Ray Allen should go to the whole every time.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Please Manu. Por favor? Shootar el ballo.
The NBA needs to create a new rule: Technical free throws awarded to the other team ANY time a player gives that bulls**t "what, me?" i didn't foul nobody face.
Secret loooooovers, that's what they are.
So how long have Chapman and Allen been together. Sweet. Lord.
This is gonna sound soooo retarded.. but this is a game the sonics can and need to win. The Spurs are totally leaving this game up for grabs when they could/should be up 25 right now. Parker's not involved... The Sonics NEED this game.
Barkley is killing Lewis right now.
This is eerily reminiscent of Barkley calling out KG several years ago, as well as McGrady etc. to step up to the next level and be the man on your team.
Too bad, Lewis is either a) clearly not there yet, b)not that type of player.
I'm bummed out.
Umm, I hate to break this to you all, but Lewis made his last 4 shots of the half.
The Sickness has 18 points on 7 FGA.
By the way, in case anyone reads this mess later, we're at half time with the Spurs up 12.
So what? Lewis missed his first 6.
Hey Richard Dawson Baker... just go back to the f**king podium and wait for the Feud to start.
just joshing. 
Booth. Here's the thing. Lewis is a jump shooter. 76% of his shots are jumpers. The Spurs limit 3s and get in your face. What is he supposed to do? Drive into the teeth of the defense? Force shots?
Lewis could and should have 30 by now... He is killing me right now!
Everybody simmer down.
(By the way, this was about twenty times better when Booth was doing it solo.)
You can shut yer mouth too Deroboy...
Arrrrrrrrghhh!!!
During the reg season Lewis scored over 33% of his points from 3.
The funny part is, booth actually got 2/3 of my full name right.
blah blah blibbity blah blah blah...
Booth52's mad Booth52's going crazy up in this mutha!!
I'm taking the 3rd quarter off. Have at it Booth.
Crazy furious D by the Spurs... and Allen bails them out with a rainbow 3.
49-60 btw.
Supes 3rd quarter goal: cut lead down to 5.
Breaking out the Chicken bones and calling all Earth Stewards!!!!
The Sonics can and WILL win this game!!! Throw your MF'ing lighters in the air now!
That was a sick split of the pick and roll by parker... he misses, gets scraped in the eye... and Horry, having actuall brain cells in his noggin', fouls Evans and backs his boy up. Watch and learn you f**king Sonics. That's how a team plays.
56-68 with 5.30 to play
Where'd everybody go?? I don't remember insulting Da Blade or The Wife.... must be slipping...
Ray Allen 3, 59-70
Hanging in... Hanging in... Kid's got gator blood.. (i think that's how it goes)
Lewis drives to the lane gets the and-1 shot... but the refs get together and do that voodoo that they do and 1) call it non-continuation, 2) give the foul to Horry instead of Duncan.
Go figure.
Gawddamn!!! If Manu pulled that leg-sweep maneuver in Sea-town, the fans would have mobbed the floor and martyred that mofo. After they gulped down their triple-mocha-cap of course.
End of 3rd:
Spurs 79- Sonics 65
-putting away chicken bones
-Earth Steward air strike called off
More man tears in the Booth52 residence than a TNT Stepmom broadcast could induce. I'm spent.
Matt... I need a sub.
WE DON'T GOT NOBODY ELSE!!!!!
I enjoyed Ray's defense on that Horry fast break. All he was missing was the red matador cape.
At LEAST i've got Episode III to look forward to. At LEAST.
-Matt standing over Booth 52
-Shoving face in feces
Priceless. Thanks bud.
Where's JJ?
"I'm not certain I'd want to be cheered if I was on somebody else's basketball court"
In response to a loud chorus of boos in conjunction with Allen's return
Mr. Thompson, please let Margie go... and put the butter knife down on the table.
Time to switch to The Idol on Fox.
SEA has 14 offensive boards.
That Rashard Lewis playing with the blimp pre game shot was a low blow... FU TNT, FU.
You know, Seattle is never going to get as good a look at the Spurs as they will in this game.
How can Duncan be so calm and collected hitting that top of the key 20 footer and look like a deer in headlights at times at the charity stripe?
5 fouls on Bowen!! Drago is bleeding! Drago is bleeding!
Yeah, you got Bowen in foul trouble, and you're still losing.
Is physical violence somehow possible through the internet?
"The files are IIINNN the computer? The files are IN the computer!"
Hmm. Who's been saying JJ sucks at the pick and roll? Oh, that was me.
I RULE!
Who's that comin' out my teepee?
IT's MEE! IT's ME!!!
whoooo....
stick a fork in me please.
Where's that from? The files in the computer bit.
The JJ face is back.
Is Ray Allen even on the court?
OK. Will this finally stop all the JJ BULLSHIT. He sucks. Period.
The same genius script that gave us
--Magnum--
It's still a work in progress.
Be QUIET Everyone!!! SHHHH!!! Rex Chapman would like to get something off of his chest!
Breat out the tissue box folks... There is racism in america. In america.
"He made thriller... Thriller."
My prediction was off by 2 points by the way.
Does anyone care what Rex thinks? Let's take a poll.
I don't care. Booth?

Game 2: San Antonio 108, Seattle 91
Seattle Sonics 2005 playoff chances
~~April 23, 2005- May 10, 2005~~
We hardly knew ye....
Rex is a heady ballplayer, tough it out type all around good guy; a model citizen of the NBA and America. Listen to him Mattie, listen to the words of wisdom.
Make me laugh Chuckie... anything to dry these tears away.
Great, the one episode the entire year Chuck decides to do Serious Chuck. How 'bout a hug at least? Please?
Man, I gotta get a computer in front of the tv.
Will announces give on JJ?
Probably not. They probably think he's the third best center, behind Dampier!
!#*()!$!$$#@%^#^!^&!#@
I shouldn't post this late at night, damn eastern time zone. That should be:
Will announcers give up on JJ?
I had to unplug a bunch of stuff and drag my computer into the hall. I'm dedicated.
Just classic!
