Game Blog: Spurs @ Clippers - Nov. 1

[HarlemHeat37]

Splitter's rotations are fucking beautiful, and it's his first game as a Spur..

[ohmwrecker]

Neal is just cold blooded.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Now if anything truly concerns me at this point in the season it is the energy and activity we are seeing from Old Man McDyess.

At this rate I fear he might run out of gas by Christmas :lol Save some for hte playoffs, Dice!!!

[NASpurs]

Splitter comes in and the defense looks a lot better.

[Cessation]

fuck i can already tell, as soon as splitter comes in our d gets so much better, hes gonna be awsome for the spurs

[spurs1990]

Where's George Hill?

[CFH]

Temple

[DPG21920]

I know it is a very small sample of minutes, but the Spurs defense is much better with Tiago in tonight.

We have not seen anything on the offensive end from him though, but that is expected early on.

[Nathan89]

Neal is the purest shooter the spurs had in the past decade.

[jestersmash]

Splitter getting completely ignored by the Spurs on offense right now

This and it's annoying me because I'm really curious to see what he can do.

[TIMMYD!]

Clippers getting all the fucking calls...

[ohmwrecker]

Splitter getting completely ignored by the Spurs on offense right now

They should try to get him a few touches.

[DPG21920]

What the.........that was good defense by Tiago imo. No foul.

[Cessation]

bs call by refs

[jestersmash]

Temple fucking sucks get him out of the game.

[CFH]

Ball don't lie :D

[Cant_Be_Faded]

If Tiago can make the transition from moving his feet to foul a player and disrupt the shot, to moving his feet ot disrupt the shot without fouling.....our defense will be alot better.

[Chomag]

Not sure what Manu was trying to do there,

[CFH]

10 point lead going into the 4th, hold it.

[BanditHiro]

If Tiago can make the transition from moving his feet to foul a player and disrupt the shot, to moving his feet ot disrupt the shot without fouling.....our defense will be alot better.

that wasn't a foul though....

[z0sa]

Tiago's d has been better than expected. His O, possibly even worse than expected.

[jiggy_55]

Why hasn't Anderson come on in the 2nd half? Especially with Hill out.. Our guards are Parker, Manu and Neal only..

[DJ Mbenga]

ive watched all the clipps games these early season. i have absolutely no clue why they cant shoot. they have plenty of shooters. gordon is a mystery to me. i though they would be good.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good quarter, D looked better

RJ with a very nice 3rd and alo good to see TP attacking.

[Libri]

Splitter's rotations are fucking beautiful, and it's his first game as a Spur..

Sean made a good point. Splitter and Neal are not typical rookies who are going to get timid. They're seasoned players who are learning to adjust to the NBA.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

that wasn't a foul though....

Well it was whistled a foul.

My point is that he's moving his feet better than any legit bigman we've had in ages. If he can master the steep learning curve of the NBA quickly, then our defense will be the best it's been in a few years.

[NASpurs]

Tiago's d has been better than expected. His O, possibly even worse than expected.

I haven't seen any O from him as the Spurs haven't really looked for him so we really can't evaluate.

[mazerrackham]

why the heck are the Clippers announcers calling Eric Gordon "EJ" is his middle name a J-name or something? Shouldn't it be "EG?"

[Killakobe81]

been watching MNF ...I had Foster, Wayne, Ajohnson, and Manning going ... (2 leagues)

How has duncan looked? To me we all know spurs should and will beat clips but watching timmy close. Did splitter play? and is RJ still playing well?

[jiggy_55]

Gary Neal is a baller. Don't care about what he can't do or if he's a bit short, dude can flat out shoot the ball. Great scorer and shoots the lights out

[Nathan89]

Why hasn't Anderson come on in the 2nd half? Especially with Hill out.. Our guards are Parker, Manu and Neal only..

Temple came in and Neal is better than Anderson.

[ShoogarBear]

Wow nice block

[spurs1990]

Why hasn't Anderson come on in the 2nd half? Especially with Hill out.. Our guards are Parker, Manu and Neal only..

Damn so Hill is injured? Hope it wasn't serious.

[CFH]

Temple with the block, nice hustle.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

DAMN splitter don't telegraph the pass!!!!




Temple does his best Tayshaun Prince impersonation.

[jestersmash]

been watching MNF ...I had Foster, Wayne, Ajohnson, and Manning going ... (2 leagues)

How has duncan looked? To me we all know spurs should and will beat clips but watching timmy close. Did splitter play? and is RJ still playing well?

RJ playing great. Surprise has been Gary Neal who has been lighting things up.

Timmy started off really slowly but has picked up. I'm not worried about him.

Splitter hasn't gotten touches on the offensive end but he's hustling his ass off on the defensive end. He had one move in the post that looked good, though he did miss (barely). Decent footwork. Not enough to tell yet.

[DJ Mbenga]

wow bledsoe is so tiny

[Ditty]

temple pulling a block shot like he did on marion's ass last season

[Pauleta14]

splitter's rotations are fucking beautiful, and it's his first game as a spur..

+1

[NASpurs]

Splitter with the dunk!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Splitter dunk!!!!

[TIMMYD!]

Splitter with his first points on a dunk!!!!!!!!!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Hello tiago!!

[jestersmash]

splitter just throwing it down

[Ditty]

manu to tiago hope will see that alot more this year

[CFH]

Tiago with the dunk!!! :D

[Cessation]

BOOM!! splitter!!!

[Nathan89]

GotiaGo

[Killakobe81]

Wow what a block!!!! Was that Temple?!

[blkroadrunners]

Tiago dunk!

[Juanobili]

I saw Tiago's first dunk live! haha!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Niceee!

[dougp]

Holy temple

[Cant_Be_Faded]

ROFLROFLROFL

I KNEW ginobili wouldn't big-time splitter

he knows first hand getting the rookie treatment SUCKS :lol

[jiggy_55]

Temple came in and Neal is better than Anderson.

Temple barely came on. Anderson has been playing good D and shooting the ball great too. Both him and Neal are great shooters and 3 pointers. It's great when they can play together imo

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jiggy_55]

Splittttteeeerrrrrrr slam!!!

[ShoogarBear]

been watching MNF ...I had Foster, Wayne, Ajohnson, and Manning going ... (2 leagues)

How has duncan looked? To me we all know spurs should and will beat clips but watching timmy close. Did splitter play? and is RJ still playing well?

Duncan has had 2-3 good moments, but been asleep most of the rest of the time.

RJ is playing well, but has been quiet most of the second half.

Gary Neal is the GOAT.

[Chomag]

nu...stop shooting 3's! geeze!

[Ditty]

pop's hand movements to temple :lol

[ohmwrecker]

That's what I've been waiting for! Manu to Splitter is going to be dangerous.

[Cessation]

wow this spurs d with splitter is great

[NASpurs]

Nice fucking pass from Splitter

[Juanobili]

fuck yeah!

[blkroadrunners]

Great ball movement

[TIMMYD!]

Neal with the 3333333333333

[Cessation]

OMG so pretty, such ball movement

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Nice passing from Tiago, sets up Neal

[CFH]

Beautiful ball movement, Choo Choo with the 3!

[8FOR!3]

Splitter. Ginobili's shot is a little off right now, but it's okay, he's streaky. Gary Neal is FUCKING DEADLY. Next MJ tbh.

[Nathan89]

Like I said he is the purest shooter of the decade for the spurs.

[jestersmash]

What the fuck, splitter is the truth. What a great pass/great decision.

[DJ Mbenga]

spurs cant miss from 3, but their defense isnt back to old form.

[ezau]

Wow, Tiago

[Killakobe81]

That rookie on the Clips looks like ass ...i know he is young ...but i have not been impressed.

[anonoftheinternets]

splitter :)

[Ditty]

neal reminds me of a certain player i hate....jason terry

both are streaky and can pull up and knock 3's haven't seen anyone do that for a while not even mason could do it that great without getting a sceen

[NASpurs]

Splitter is giving me a golden rod

[jestersmash]

Get the fuck out temple

[CFH]

Yeesh, Temple...

[BanditHiro]

looks like garrett temple has been replaced lol

[Killakobe81]

how do the clips trit out 3 rookies: Griffin, Bledsoe and Fanook (LOL) and expect to beat a vet team like the spurs? They have no chance.

[NASpurs]

Nice fucking defense

[tim_duncan_fan]

We have 2 new real shooters, in Anderson and Neal that are going to help us win games.

I'm so happy I could cry.

When is the last time we had a bench shooter with some consistency and nuts?

[CFH]

Manu!

[ShoogarBear]

LOL, Clips announcer just said "Here come the Spurs!"

[ohmwrecker]

Get the fuck out temple

Anderson?!

[Killakobe81]

Manu scholling these youngsters ... LOL

[BanditHiro]

We have 2 new real shooters, in Anderson and Neal that are going to help us win games.

I'm so happy I could cry.

When is the last time we had a bench shooter with some consistency and nuts?

and they have pride when it comes to defending unlike mason

[Cant_Be_Faded]

We have 2 new real shooters, in Anderson and Neal that are going to help us win games.

I'm so happy I could cry.

When is the last time we had a bench shooter with some consistency and nuts?

haha
temper your expectations and judgements...it's only the 3rd game of the season.

Lest we forget how hot RMJ started as a spur.............................

[ShoogarBear]

McDyess + 18
Neal +17

[Cessation]

Splitter is giving me a golden rod


LOL +1

you not the only one

[ezau]

TBH, three new guys are going to have a solid impact this year for the Spurs: Splitter, Neal, and JA. RJ has definitely improved, so you can make it four.

[8FOR!3]

Spurs defense since the first quarter has been pretty solid. And even early on the Clippers were hitting some tough jumpers. Splitter, Jefferson, Anderson, Neal, have all really stepped up to the plate tonight. Anderson just hasn't gotten PT in the second half. I'm also impressed with Dice's rebounding ability this year.

[Nathan89]

neal reminds me of a certain player i hate....jason terry

both are streaky and can pull up and knock 3's haven't seen anyone do that for a while not even mason could do it that great without getting a sceen

But neal is 6'4 and he only gets paid 1mil. I'll take it.

[Cessation]

its an insult to compare gary "choo choo" neal to mental failure like mason

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago D is good.

Neal is very impressive, can shot very well and he fight very hard on D, and huge improvement over Mason

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I don't know about you but i'm ready to jump on the DICK jefferson TRAIN! :D

[jestersmash]

Ginobili quietly getting a nice stat line - 14 points, 7 assists, 4 steals

[ohmwrecker]

But neal is 6'4 and he only gets paid 1mil. I'll take it.

And he doesn't show his as every time he hits a shot.

[8FOR!3]

haha
temper your expectations and judgements...it's only the 3rd game of the season.

Lest we forget how hot RMJ started as a spur.............................

You want to hear the difference? Gary Neal is showing that not only can he shoot, but he has solid driving ability, much better point guard skills than Mason, and better defense. It's clear that Gary Neal is a combo guard, Roger Mason was/is not.

[maddnezz]

The nba big head comercial is killing me! Shaq and A'mare lmoa!!!!

[NASpurs]

I don't care if that looked like a bad shot, any shot Choo Choo takes looks like a good shot

[dbestpro]

its an insult to compare gary "choo choo" neal to mental failure like mason

I don't get a fan insulting a Spur player (choo choo) who has been playing lights out.

[DJ Mbenga]

wow the clipps are shooting 3 point bricks.

[NASpurs]

RJ with the jumper!

[tim_duncan_fan]

haha
temper your expectations and judgements...it's only the 3rd game of the season.

Lest we forget how hot RMJ started as a spur.............................

That's true. But I believe Pop has learned a lesson about damaging players psyches'. I believe Pop did mindfuck Roger a little tiny bit.

Neal and Anderson aren't scared to have the ball.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice RJ!

[CFH]

RJ with the smooth J

[Hooks]

Chugga Chugga CHOO CHOO!!!!!!



Why the fuck has Parker been getting swatted by just about everyone lately?


Fuck it's raining like a son of a bitch outside, I'm gonna lose signal!

[Refocus]

Rj!!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Kaman scores instantly with Tiago out.

Spurs offense rolling.

[8FOR!3]

I'm so proud of Richard Jefferson right now. It looks like he just might yet have what it takes to be a true Spur. Still a lot to prove though.

[DesignatedT]

wow rj looks good

[ShoogarBear]

Small Ball is back in.

[ShoogarBear]

Oops, just as I notice that, Blair subs in.

[NASpurs]

TD with the floater!

[Killakobe81]

Lawler showing spurs some love ... "The window is NOT closed!!"

I like Lawler better than the Lakers announcer right now ...sad day when the Clips have better announcers than the Lakers

[Nathan89]

Rj for Most Improved. I said it first

[Cant_Be_Faded]

You want to hear the difference? Gary Neal is showing that not only can he shoot, but he has solid driving ability, much better point guard skills than Mason, and better defense. It's clear that Gary Neal is a combo guard, Roger Mason was/is not.

If he can do those things consistently then hell yeah, but this is just 1 game out of 3 total played.



There's TIMMY with the floater

[TIMMYD!]

Tim getting warmed up.

[jestersmash]

I haven't felt like this since last season when the spurs were going balls out against the top teams in the NBA just before the playoffs.

It's not that we're winning against a baron-less clippers. It's just because of what I've been seeing from neal, anderson, splitter, and jefferson. We haven't had good players at these positions in a long ass time.

[DJ Mbenga]

whats wrong with gordon?

[duncan228]

:( Hope he's okay.

http://d.yimg.com/a/p/sp/ap/68/fullj.50a6291d621f75a68629621005765703/3bbf530f8ca1416b9c0eb3c4b55ef038.jpg

[Brazil]

Ginobili quietly getting a nice stat line - 14 points, 7 assists, 4 steals

yep and TP also 19 pts on 8-15, 6 assists, 3 steals

[Cant_Be_Faded]

clippers on brink of meltdown mode.


Blake Griffin is going to hate each and every one of his teammates by the all-star break.
Griffin's stats are gonna be lower than they should be on this team of ball-hogs and chunkers.

[jestersmash]

yep and TP also 19 pts on 8-15, 6 assists, 3 steals

Very nice. It's easy to lose track of tony's points sometimes given how effortless some of his floaters in the lane look.

[8FOR!3]

Duncan actually got a rebound that he had to jump over someone to get! And he finished, nice to see. Duncan's had a really solid game, his shot's been a little off, but he's better finishing under the basket and his legs look to be under him when he's rebounding. I can say similar things about Ginobili, solid game, he's finding people open, having a tough time shooting from outside, but he's doing a good job scoring.

[Killakobe81]

Though small, Gordon would be great fit as a triangle PG

[ShoogarBear]

I'm sure Vinny will eventually be able to work his magic on this bunch.

[Hooks]

whats wrong with gordon?


James Anderson, aka the lock down defender is shutting him down.

[Tp9gospursgo]

clippers on brink of meltdown mode.


Blake Griffin is going to hate each and every one of his teammates by the all-star break.
Griffin's stats are gonna be lower than they should be on this team of ball-hogs and chunkers.

+1 hes not getting the ball nearly enough.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD better in the 2nd half.

TP made some mistakes but I think he's doing well overall

Nice to see 2011 RJ

[ShoogarBear]

I'm sure Vinny will eventually be able to work his magic on this bunch.


:rollin

[Cessation]

Splitter in his first game after injury playing only 10 minutes, making tangible impact, imagine how good hell make this team by the playoffs, looks like he might live up to the hype, the potential is certainly there

[8FOR!3]

If he can do those things consistently then hell yeah, but this is just 1 game out of 3 total played.



There's TIMMY with the floater

Somewhat true. But I think he's played solid D in game two against the Hornets as well.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

RJ is way better without all of the pressure and attention that was on him last season.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

clippers on brink of meltdown mode.


Blake Griffin is going to hate each and every one of his teammates by the all-star break.
Griffin's stats are gonna be lower than they should be on this team of ball-hogs and chunkers.

Every single play should be run through Griffin. The guy should be getting 25/9 this season. Ugh Clippers.

[BanditHiro]

Though small, Gordon would be great fit as a triangle PG

no behave you already have the grizzles as a supplementary team

[DJ Mbenga]

James Anderson, aka the lock down defender is shutting him down.

ive seen him miss 4 wide open 3s.

[Brazil]

whats wrong with gordon?

Eric ? he has a very solid game tonite ! double double for him 19 pts 10 assists

[Pauleta14]

You can see op loves his job, always teaching something on the court...

nice to see

[8FOR!3]

Splitter in his first game after injury playing only 10 minutes, making tangible impact, imagine how good hell make this team by the playoffs, looks like he might live up to the hype, the potential is certainly there

I honestly think it's gonna be scary when he gets in basketball shape and finds his fit in the system.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Is it too early for RJ haters too eat crow? Yeah i'll wait for the AS break...

[spurs1990]

Did y'all see that graphic?

Duncan is 42-3 against the Clips in his career!

[BanditHiro]

Every single play should be run through Griffin. The guy should be getting 25/9 this season. Ugh Clippers.

he is not good enough to create in the mid range yet...if he had someone like steve nash he would be a beast

[Cant_Be_Faded]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH

Blair come on man

[Tp9gospursgo]

OOOOh i got excited for a second. Rj was gonna throw it down.

[ShoogarBear]

That is why the Spurs never lob.

Blair is just completely off tonight.

[NASpurs]

That's the second time I've seen the lob to RJ not work this year. Throw enough shit on the wall...

[Cessation]

wow blair pulling all the stops when it comes to fail

[NASpurs]

RJ for threeeeeeeee

[jestersmash]

Jesus blake griffin.

And Blair is starting to piss me off more and more.

And i'm loving jefferson more and more.

[blkroadrunners]

Rj 333

[CFH]

RJ for 3!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Rj!

[Ditty]

i love it i love it i love it jefferson

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Lawler's Baron Davis cracks are hilarious..

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Damn I love RJ's rhythm so far this season. Keep it up baldie!

[Tp9gospursgo]

RJ for 3. im loving RJ this year already. this is what we wanted last year.

[Killakobe81]

Length of Ralph Sampson? and when you discuss duncan is that a compliment to say he has elements of a player no where near as good as him?

Only thing Sampson could teach duncan is how to dominate as a collegian ...

[8FOR!3]

Jefferson looking like the best small forward to play on the Spurs since Sean Elliott tonight.

[rayray2k8]

Lawler showing spurs some love ... "The window is NOT closed!!"

I like Lawler better than the Lakers announcer right now ...sad day when the Clips have better announcers than the Lakers

Yeah, I've been listening to the clippers announcers and they're actually pretty damn good.

I almost forgot they were covering the clippers a few times. :lol

But major props to them.
Looks like Baron Davis is holding this team back. And who was that jackass who kept saying "Kaman you suck" ever 30 seconds??
Fucking clipper fans :nope

[tim_duncan_fan]

Hahahaha! Is Jefferson for real right now?

I must be high. This shit can't be real.

[Nathan89]

Once again Rj for Most Improved. This turnaround is unbelievable.

[ShoogarBear]

Damn, RJ is playing with fire in his pants.

Wait, let me rephrase that.

[Pauleta14]

TD better in the 2nd half.

TP made some mistakes but I think he's doing well overall

Nice to see 2011 RJ

+1

Tony still not as good as he should be, but still is very productive.

He can only get better!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Jefferson is taking a collective shit on the haters so far this season.

[NASpurs]

TD with the jumper!

[Cessation]

go timmeh, he should take that elbow shot more often, hes got it down packed

[timtonymanu]

Duncan playing much better.

[ShoogarBear]

"Kaman you suck!"

[blkroadrunners]

Good block by Blair.

[jestersmash]

Anderson's got some athleticism.

[NASpurs]

Blair with the block and JA with the layup!

[Cessation]

nice block blair!

[CFH]

Blair with the block, JA on the fastbreak!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Now put Tiago in to finish out the game

[JR3]

blair disappointing tonight. loved what I saw from Jefferson. Excited about Gary Neal! James Anderson is playing within the system and it's working nicely! Next!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

HELL YEAH

go spurs go

I fear Blair losing playing time if this shooting of his continues

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Blair with the block :D

[timtonymanu]

Wow we really signed some great rookies although Splitter and Neal are technically veterans.

[Refocus]

Woot TP passed it on the fastbreak. :P

The beast showing some life on that block though for sure.

[jestersmash]

HELL YEAH

go spurs go

I fear Blair losing playing time if this shooting of his continues

Give splitter some of his minutes. I see no problem with that.

[mazerrackham]

Tony made a pass on the break!

[Libri]

Clipper announcers saying that Anderson could be a Bowen clone.

[Cessation]

Jefferson is taking a collective shit on the haters so far this season.


LOL amen to that :downspin: dropping that bomb

[Spurs Brazil]

Great block Blair

Nice finish Anderson

I'm very happy with TD play in the 2nd half

[DJ Mbenga]

baron davis is shit but that kid bledsoe cant be a starter, he isnt good enough

[Spur|n|Austin]

BLOCK party!!

[DesignatedT]

We have so many guys that can play ball now. Our bench is sooooo much better than last year. Thank god Mason and Bogans are gone, those guys are scrubs compared to these young studs we have now.

[bbarry]

Jefferson is taking a collective shit on the haters so far this season.

fuck collective. he's delivering them personally, with each good play he makes. so the haters don't gotta share :lol

[Killakobe81]

Yeah, I've been listening to the clippers announcers and they're actually pretty damn good.

I almost forgot they were covering the clippers a few times. :lol

But major props to them.
Looks like Baron Davis is holding this team back. And who was that jackass who kept saying "Kaman you suck" ever 30 seconds??
Fucking clipper fans :nope

they are good. Clippers fans are frustrated can you blame them? Kaman is good acruallly O.K. but for what he is making ... he sucks ass and he just got swattted by Blair.
As for Baron there is nothing but venom for him, no way a guy with that much talent should play like a lazy coward. His contract is even worse than Kaman's because at least Kaman is a big and they ALWAYS have value ...

Im a Bruin but fyuck Baron he is stealing $ right now ...

[Poirot]

Looks like Baron Davis is holding this team back. And who was that jackass who kept saying "Kaman you suck" ever 30 seconds??
Fucking clipper fans :nope

Kaman does suck

[Cessation]

I think these announcers are used to clips sucking it up, so they give the opposing teams their props, just the logical thing to do.

[Pauleta14]

Tony finaly does his PG job!! nice fast break!

[tim_duncan_fan]

I love having good young players.

[maddnezz]

Grizzley "Let me hold dat ya damn Yeti!!!"

[DesignatedT]

RJ is awesome so far this year.

[mazerrackham]

Yeah, I've been listening to the clippers announcers and they're actually pretty damn good.

I almost forgot they were covering the clippers a few times. :lol

But major props to them.
Looks like Baron Davis is holding this team back. And who was that jackass who kept saying "Kaman you suck" ever 30 seconds??
Fucking clipper fans :nope

yeah, clippers fans, not classy. Clippers announcers - possibly the best announcers from another team I've heard in a while.

[Brazil]

Tp close to the double double

[jiggy_55]

Whatever Pop did to RJ this summer, I FUCKING LOVE IT. Never seen him shoot so smoothly, effortlessly and they are almost always going in nothing but net.

Awesome work, he's going to help us so much if he can keep up such type of play.

[8FOR!3]

Blair starting to give a little more effort, even though he's having another tough night. James Anderson is more athletic than people gave him credit for and that was a great finish. I've seen Blake Griffin back down Tim and score a couple of times tonight and it looks like Tim is playing fine D on him, he's just that good. A lot of potential there with Griffin. I like the kid.

Richard Jefferson's doing a great job. I love seeing hard work pay off and that's what it's doing about RJ. We've said what we wanted in the past when he played poorly, but the work he put in this offseason says a lot about Jefferson as a person.

[crc21209]

I am loving the young guns with the mix of veterans right now...:tu

[DJ Mbenga]

good thing spurs got splitter. blair is nothing special anymore.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

RJ is awesome so far this year.

:toast

[Cessation]

We have so many guys that can play ball now. Our bench is sooooo much better than last year. Thank god Mason and Bogans are gone, those guys are scrubs compared to these young studs we have now.

fuck yeah, well put :toast

[Cant_Be_Faded]

yeah, clippers fans, not classy. Clippers announcers - possibly the best announcers from another team I've heard in a while.

I've had league pass for three years and sometimes I'm forced to listen to the Cilppers announcers. They've always been nothing short of respectful to the Spurs and Tim Duncan. They compliment Duncan and the Spurs system so much its ridiculous.

[Killakobe81]

Whatever Pop did to RJ this summer, I FUCKING LOVE IT. Never seen him shoot so smoothly, effortlessly and they are almost always going in nothing but net.

Awesome work, he's going to help us so much if he can keep up such type of play.

Great point. maybe the Pop detractors will give him his due. just by improving RJ Pop proves he hasnt lost his touch. Nice job.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i lost count of the numbers of jumpers made by kaman in blair's face

[timtonymanu]

I am loving the young guns with the mix of veterans right now...:tu

Reminds me of 2003.

[ShoogarBear]

RJ's FTs still suck.

[NASpurs]

I'm loving RJ. He's making shots and making the right decisions.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

RJ still sucks at FTs though :lol

[DJ Mbenga]

lol a brian cook sighting.

[jestersmash]

Blair's clearly in a slump but I wouldn't count him out just because of a couple of games.

[BanditHiro]

good thing spurs got splitter. blair is nothing special anymore.

he will come around...really all we need him to do is take an "accidental dive" and land full force on Gasol's knee

[crc21209]

RJ's FTs still suck.

He's gotta suck at something, he cant be perfect. :lol

I also want to point out that James Anderson has a lot more defensive potential than I thought this offseason when we drafted him and I started to research his college career. I thought he was going to be a lights out scorer, better than anybody's giving him credit for, so far I've been pleased with what I've seen there. But what's really surprised me is his defense. If you want proof that he's a really good athlete, just look to his shot block ability's, their big man-esque. He's the last guy I've seen on this team since Bowen out there blocking jump shots.

I'm not worried about Blair, I do think he is better with the 2nd unit though. Tiago should start once he gets comfortable.

[ohmwrecker]

RJ's FTs still suck.

He is finally a Spur.

[jestersmash]

Temple is fucking awful. Terrible attempt followed by terrible second chance.

[Killakobe81]

Baron the "theif" Davis ...

Would be great if he just robbed Sterling, but clips fans don't deserve this shit ...

[BanditHiro]

fuck why was the building empty didn't they know the spurs was coming to town?

[Killakobe81]

spurs suns shoul be fun ... the return to scene of the crime ...should be MUCH better than this game was ...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

[NASpurs]

Spurs finally held a team below 50% shooting this season!

There's no such thing as Clipper fans. Clipper fans = Laker/Kobe haters.

[jiggy_55]

Anderson is more athletic than he looks alike.. and he's got a lot of moves, remember he was the go to scorer on his team.. He's looking great as a spur

Gotta love our bench this season.. Lots of young talent, scorers and so much energy!

[Fermixalot]

Who was that creepy homeless cowboy shaking everyone's hands after the game?

[Spurs Brazil]

Good game, defense got better as the game went on and Tiago will be huge on D

Major props to RJ and Neal, great game

TD with a solid 2nd half and I liked TP despite some mistakes.

Anderson with another good game off the bench.

I'm still waiting for Blair play his 1st game this season

+1. In the limited minutes he got, I can already tell the guy is going to be huge on D...his pick and roll defense especially.

[Cessation]

good game

:lol

It's only the 3rd game

[DesignatedT]

I think moving Blair back to the bench will eventually make sense if Splitter can start. I think a Duncan/Dice might be a little to old of a combo to start every regular season game but Duncan/Splitter would be nice and Blair can go back to that bench role that he should be able to play better in. It's early though.

Agreed. Blair looks like he will be better off the bench for sure. A bench of Hill, Anderson, Neal, Blair, and Dice would be a pretty good spark group. :tu

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

can't wait to see more pnr b/t manu and tiagoooo :hungry:

[crc21209]

I think the young legs of Anderson and Neal coming down towards the end of the year is going to be HUGE whereas last year we had to rely on the legs of Bogans and Mason...

[maddnezz]

Tiago "Stifler" Splitter!:toast:downspin:

[silverblk mystix]

This reminds me of last year when Bonner went out with an injury and the spurs went on a little run...

Only to have Bonner return and fuck it all up again...

[BoricuaCJA]

Tiago's presence intimidated some players from just driving to the rim. First time in a while that I saw the opponent not just drive to the basket when TD is not on the court.

Neal played huge and RJ got give him props. I really want to see how Neal, Jefferson, Tiago are playing 15 games into the season.

were 1-1 since Bonner went down? Are you just trying to be a dipshit or what?

[NASpurs]

14 turnovers from Blair, Tony, Tim and Manu.

Definitely have to clean that up but it is only the 3rd game of the season and we are integrating a # of new guys into the system.

[Quasar]

RJ's FTs still suck.

That's because of Pop's special training - he's finally a true Spur!!

[jestersmash]

+1.

These anti-Bonner comments are hilariously amateurish.

More than their young legs, we need their 3pt shooting and their fearlessness...

If we had that last year, we would have beaten the Suns!!!

Thanks you Bonner, Mason, Bogans...

[Nathan89]

Agreed. Blair looks like he will be better off the bench for sure. A bench of Hill, Anderson, Neal, Blair, and Dice would be a pretty good spark group. :tu

Hey man you forgot about Bonner.:lol


Oh how soon we forget about the man... oh never mind.
