Should be able to watch it on League Pass, the free preview is going on.

[duncan228]

Manu hitting on familiar theme at shootaround: “We’ve got to start fast. We learned from last year that we need every single win."

[timtonymanu]

4 more hours!!!! :downspin:

[ElNono]

:hungry:

Sucks the game is not shown in HD on League Pass here... :depressed

[DBMethos]

'Bout time!!!

[Dex]

Ah, Game Blog....you are a sight for sore eyes.

[Manufan909]

Woot, made the first page! I'm still undecided on if I want to watch the game on LP, just to constantly post about every little thing. I usually end up getting distracted when I try to comment during FTs and whatnot, so I'll prob watch it downstairs. But I don't think I'll be watching with anyone, so we'll see.

P.S. This is a dumb, rhetorical post, I know. I'm just so freaking pumped! 3.5 hours left!

[phxspurfan]

I'll probably be watching the world series but will check the boxscore to make sure all my spurs go for 20 points...GSG!

[bigdog]

I just canceled something and passed up a cool oppurtunity for something so I can watch the season opener. I can't believe I was going to miss it. I cannot wait til tipoff.

[DesignatedT]

First game blog of the year.. can't wait.

I'm looking forward to more of the famous Ice009 in-game meltdowns. :lol

[xellos88330]

And so it begins!!!

GO SPURS GO!!!

[benefactor]

Trade Splitter!

Welcome back, game blog.

[Juanobili]

I'm glad I'll at least get to see the season opener. I just hope Fox straightens their shit out with Dish :/

Another season...another "Go Spurs GO" yell from Italy!

[crc21209]

It was a loooong off-season. Lets get to it! Go Spurs Go!

[silverblk mystix]

Let's hope the spurs mindset is to dominate this season.

I am pretty tired of this nice guy....wait til the playoffs get here to turn it on...let's keep everybody fresh....attitude.
I know it has its merits but I kinda wanna see the team and Pop just say fuck it--it is a marathon-but we are going all out until game 7 of the finals!

mojo to the entire spurs team and spurs nation...:toast

[Sisk]

I feel like a little kid on Christmas Day.. This off-season took forever

[Refocus]

It's about time. :toast

[dougp]

Woohoo! Let's go spurs!

[bigdog]

I don't remember an offseason feeling this long before. Just about an hour and a half until tipoff! :flag:

[DeadlyDynasty]

good luck ya'll...though you won't need it against these scrubs

[spurspokesman]

I feel like a little kid on Christmas Day.. This off-season took forever

Just waiting to see the revamped RJ. His head is will be carved up here on the forum if not lol. Let's go RJ let's gospurs.

[bigdog]

I think RJ will be much improved this year. He might not average 20ppg, and we don't need him to, but he will be much more comfortable and make less mistakes. His shot looked much different in the preseason, in a good way.

[Malice]

Lets do this! Ready, all things even! We can do this shit!

[Chieflion]

Last season, the Spurs required a Tim Duncan game winning dunk to win it against the Pacers in one of the games. Blow them out this time.

[Pauleta14]

1 hour!

tic tac ....

[timtonymanu]

Last season, the Spurs required a Tim Duncan game winning dunk to win it against the Pacers in one of the games. Blow them out this time.

and the other required a Malik Hairston jumper to put them away.

[duncan228]

Pop puts onus for faster start on players: "If they shoot better and make fewer turnovers, we'll probably win more games."




One other nugget from pregame: Pop all but rules out Splitter for Saturday's NOLA game, but says he might be good to go after that.




Pop says Splitter is getting antsy to play. So antsy he hated his latest massage. Pop: "Never heard of someone not liking a massage."

[Solid D]

It's a long season. The Spurs may not look so good early-on, so let's keep it real, folks.

Thanks, but illegal streams aren't allowed to be posted here during the season and the post season. They're only allowed during pre-season.

"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before."
-- Jacob August Riis

[spurs_2108]

Gotcha, I was wondering why no one had posted them tonight and did so in the pre-season...

[austN Spur]

oh thank god free preview. go spurs go

[Mal]

Is Granger playing for Pacers ?

[Ice009]

First game blog of the year.. can't wait.

I'm looking forward to more of the famous Ice009 in-game meltdowns. :lol

LOL I'm going to try and settle down this season.

I like my team to be a hard nosed physical defensive team and having guys like Bonner get burned all the time gets me a little mad ;).

I even wanted Dejuan Blair pulled during games last season when his opponent scored on him too much.

Play defense and I'll stay off you.

Also, the last 3 or so seasons I've wanted the Spurs to start better because I knew they need a higher seed. Home court advantage is huge in the playoffs. I can't believe Manu has had to tell Pop this.

When the teams in the West get so much better you can't start off slow. When we were the best there wasn't as many good teams, there was only a few great teams that could win it. It's more wide open so a higher seed is more important these days.

I don't want to see those idiotic substitution patterns from Pop. Play a freaking set lineup and build some team chemistry Pop.

[DesignatedT]

Is Granger playing for Pacers ?

has he been hurt?

[Mal]

has he been hurt?

Somewhere I saw him as questionable. Same status had Mo Williams, and he is out, so I am asking.

[duncan228]

For what it's worth, Granger is listed as a starter.

[Mal]

For what it's worth, Granger is listed as a starter.

Where I can find such info ? Just for the future :)

[Seventyniner]

[NASpurs]

Hopefully that's all the court action Bonner gets

[timvp]

Bonner on the court is scary. Even when he's just talking to the fans.

[BanditHiro]

why do we have to so low marketed

[BanditHiro]

oh wow bonner's back i thought he got cut

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow, International League Pass BB is sooooooo much better than last year! The platform is stable, the quality high, and now I can split screen it. Freakin AWESOME! :D

[bluebellmaniac]

If Bonner didn't win you over with that speech, I don't know what will!!!

[angelbelow]

Just incase you didnt know, everygame is like that before and a few minutes after tip off.

[BoricuaCJA]

Tip off!!!

[VBM]

I mean really...who the hell gets pumped up with that music...

[Ice009]

Paint drying speech from Matt Bonner. Let's hope his play ain't paint drying type of stuff.

[Spurs Brazil]

Wow, International League Pass BB is sooooooo much better than last year! The platform is stable, the quality high, and now I can split screen it. Freakin AWESOME! :D

It's GREAT

[ace3g]

nice cut by RJ

[BoricuaCJA]

I like the aggressiveness there.

[Libri]

Jefferson with a strong move, good to see that.

[Dex]

Jefferson nice cut, fouled on the dunk attempt. Like the effort.

[mystargtr34]

Paint drying speech from Matt Bonner. Let's hope his play ain't paint drying type of stuff.

Lol

[thebigmammoo]

Not feeling the music. :lol

Horrible music.

[Tp9gospursgo]

jeffersons hustling out there!

[CFH]

Nice save by RJ

[timvp]

Looked like a bad call by Bavetta. But I'll take it.

[BoricuaCJA]

Jefferson with the steal. and Parker with the layup.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice save RJ

[Death In June]

Is the league pass feed fucking up for anyone else? Nothing but artifacts. It's literally unwatchable.

[Rummpd]

Blair is beasting!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Okay, let's play some D boys.

As for Jefferson, thought I might be really pissed off to see him, but actually I'm just a little sad... :lol

[JiggaWhat99]

where the F is our defense

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

FSPacers? :(

[timvp]

The D .......................... no comment.

[Rummpd]

ok lets play some defense.

[JiggaWhat99]

Timmy looks lean

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Anyone know when Splitter is supposed to be back?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Looking lively for the first game of the year, unlike the Heat yesterday.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Blairs FT shooting :D

[BoricuaCJA]

Blair 2 for 2 free throws.

[BanditHiro]

god dammit we are going to lose to the pacers

[Chachachango]

Wow, everytime i see RJ's big ass bald head I think of Bowen :(

[TIMMYD!]

DeJuan Blair's FTs looked smooth as hell. :tu

[BoricuaCJA]

Nice Jefferson.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice D Dick

[Tp9gospursgo]

No Foul there?

[angelbelow]

Nice FT shooting so far from blair.

[duncan228]

Anyone know when Splitter is supposed to be back?

Maybe for the Clippers Nov 1.

[easjer]

Is there a repellant stopping them from finishing inside? Yeesh.

[Chieflion]

Manu, rack up the 3s and assists, fantasy team ftw.

[angelbelow]

Damn super confident on those free throws.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

There we go TP

[Tp9gospursgo]

Tony is looking good!

[BoricuaCJA]

Parkers speed kills!

[CFH]

Nice drive by TP

[JiggaWhat99]

parker has his step back....?

[BanditHiro]

god damn blair looks so weird

[ace3g]

Tragic Johnson in action

[TIMMYD!]

RJ throw-down!!!

[BoricuaCJA]

Yes!! Good job.

[timvp]

Duncan with the hockey assist.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Maybe for the Clippers Nov 1.

Thanks :)

[HarlemHeat37]

I feel bad for Indiana that they allowed a FG after that Duncan pass..Tim should have gotten a T for that..

[CFH]

Tragic Johnson :lol

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Refocus]

Booyah

[Chachachango]

Damn, that was a fucking amazing pass by Timmy.

[TIMMYD!]

Lookin' good, lookin' good.

[angelbelow]

Beautiful pass from Blair.

[BoricuaCJA]

I love the fast break were doing right now.

[Texas_Ranger]

Good.

[BanditHiro]

the best starting 5 in the nba right here folks

[easjer]

Man, it's great to see them, even if they are raw. I like how active they are on the other end - if they'd have scored on some of those possessions, it would be a runaway right now.

[BoricuaCJA]

Commercial. :(

[timvp]

Can't complain about the energy.

[timtonymanu]

Finally! I can see it and I missed an awesome run. Oh well better than nothing.

[Rummpd]

Spurs turning it up on defense = easy offense! Blair Jefferson Parker Manu heck they all look great out there!

[024]

nice

[HarlemHeat37]

Jefferson looks decent so far, I want to see how his jump shot looks though..

[BoricuaCJA]

Jefferson's playing pretty good so far and Blair too.

[bbarry]

what the hell are teh spurs doing. playing completely out of character. but it gave them the lead tho :downspin:

[bluebellmaniac]

What a sweet start to the game :-).

[JiggaWhat99]

question: how long is splitter out?

[Ice009]

Tp looks fast!

[easjer]

Gosh, it's good to see them again.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Timmy = "Tragic Johnson"! :lmao

Manu looking in mid-season form.

Tony looking in rookie-year form.

Grizzlah looking in career year form.

RJ just looking. :lol

[BoricuaCJA]

Jefferson looks decent so far, I want to see how his jump shot looks though..
That's what I want to see too. Plus when he doesn't do good on the offensive side, if his defense will not fall with it too.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

question: how long is splitter out?


Could see him NOV 1st according to Duncan228

[Spurs Brazil]

D looks better after a bad start.

Nice to see quick Tony again and RJ attacking

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Mcroberts lol

[BanditHiro]

oh god we got dunked on by a whitey

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Dick...... :(

[BoricuaCJA]

Jefferson missed it but his form looked good imo.

[easjer]

I'm impressed with RJ thus far. Doubt it lasts or anything, but the energy is there for once.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice Manu :D

[Tp9gospursgo]

Ouch

[Refocus]

lmao manu

[ace3g]

ouch!!!

[CFH]

Ouch >.>

[Libri]

RJ should thrive with this pace.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Joshua McRoberts doing the Griffin! :wow

[Death In June]

God...damn...it. League pass audio is the only thing working. Are there any other ways to watch the game?

[ace3g]

that was like Reggie Miller x10

[angelbelow]

hahahahahhahah

Manu administers the hurt.

Poor Granger.

league pass broadband works for me.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice Pass RJ

[Libri]

Paul George is an interesting prospect. I'm looking forward to seeing his progress.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Someone put that Bowen-style Manu-kick in a sig. :lmao

[Tp9gospursgo]

Blair is earning his minutes

[ace3g]

the key for me is how Pop uses the bench players with the starters

[Chieflion]

What is this? Defense anyone?

[TIMMYD!]

Beast looking Nash-esque at the line.

[HarlemHeat37]

McRoberts has some crazy athleticism..

Nice pass from Jefferson, Blair should have passed it to Duncan though..

[angelbelow]

Blair, like last year, is a foul magnet. Good shit.

[easjer]

Blair looks great. Wow.

[duncan228]

Blair is going to be such fun to watch this year.

[CFH]

Blair doing work at the line

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Lol the Run N Fun Spurs

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ playing well

Our D looks bad

[easjer]

That is really lovely, Timmy D.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

McRoberts is a balla.

RJ actually looking okay.

Grizzly looking SUPERB. ;)

[Tp9gospursgo]

Timmay!

[GSH]

I said last year that Blair's FT% would be in the 70's this year. He was already working hard on the stroke, and it's paying off this year. I hope he keeps this up.

[TIMMYD!]

Tim with another J!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Timmy D <3

[easjer]

Hill to Duncan was superbly beautiful

[Rummpd]

Duncan looking very smooth

[CFH]

Timmy with the J

[bluebellmaniac]

So they are offering LP for free until Nov 2nd so you can check it out and see what you're paying for .... well it cut out on me already... why would I want to pay for that????

[timvp]

Hill passing up shots.

Bad sign.

[NASpurs]

Hopefully George plays better than he did in the preseason.

[Dex]

RJ driving and getting to the line: :hungry:

[easjer]

Indy's point guard is all up over the ball, haha.

[BoricuaCJA]

Man if Jefferson keeps getting to the FT line, I'll be happy.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Good to know Rj's FT shooting hasn't improved :(

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan's jump shot looks good, but that's been the story of the last 2 years..he's a 50% jump shooter until February, where it falls off heavily..

Hill is having a lot of trouble penetrating so far..

[TDomination]

1st sub, hill for parker.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Lol the Run N Fun Spurs

Totally.

Add some tough D to it and we'll have a great season.

[Libri]

My computer is shit. :bang

[TIMMYD!]

What's George doing out there?

[HarlemHeat37]

George Hill looks horrible so far, absolutely horrible..
