Game Preview

The San Antonio Spurs have said for weeks that earning the No. 1 seed for the Western Conference playoffs wasn't their main concern.

The Spurs, though, can wrap up that top spot by beating the short-handed Portland Trail Blazers, losers of a season-high five in a row, on Monday night.

San Antonio (47-16) has been focusing on the playoffs for much of this month as coach Gregg Popovich has given his starters fewer minutes. Tim Duncan sat out Sunday's home game against Cleveland, but that didn't prevent the Spurs from cruising to a seventh consecutive win, 114-98.
Manu Ginobili had a team-high 20 points off the bench and was one of 10 San Antonio players who were on the court for at least 18 minutes.

"Any time we get a chance to rest Tim (Duncan) and Tony (Parker) doesn't play that much, and we get away with a win, that's always a plus," said Stephen Jackson, whose 17 points were his most of his current stint with the Spurs. "As long as we take care of business and continue to build and not take steps back, we'll be all right."

Coupled with Oklahoma City's double-overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, the win put the Spurs 1 1/2 games ahead of the Thunder atop the West. They also own the tiebreaker over Oklahoma City thanks to a 2-1 record in the season series. San Antonio is one-half game behind of Chicago for the best record in the NBA.

"We want to clinch as soon as possible," Ginobili said. "(Monday) we have a good game here, so we're going to trying to play our best and keep improving. We have room for improvement, where we can pick up the aggressiveness. We want to try and set the pace for the playoffs."

The Spurs will seek that clinching win against a team that dealt them their most lopsided defeat in nearly 15 years. Some of the key Blazers players from that 137-97 victory on Feb. 21, though, might not be available for this contest.

LaMarcus Aldridge, who led Portland with 21 points in the Feb. 21 rout, is out for the season after undergoing surgery on his right hip. Nicolas Batum missed Saturday's 93-89 loss at Memphis with tendinitis in his left quad, and Joel Przybilla and Raymond Felton were also out again.

Despite only dressing nine players, Portland (28-36) nearly completed a rally from a late 12-point deficit before Wesley Matthews' 3-point attempt with five seconds left was blocked by the Grizzlies' Rudy Gay.

J.J. Hickson had a team-best 23 points for the Blazers, while Jamal Crawford chipped in 21.

"We are missing a lot of key guys from our team, but guys are out there getting better. The young guys are getting better," guard Jamal Crawford said.

The Spurs' 99-83 win in Portland's last visit to the AT&T Center on Jan. 13 snapped a three-game overall skid in the series. Tony Parker had 12 of his team-high 20 points in the fourth quarter of that victory.

Portland hasn't suffered six straight losses since Nov. 20-Dec. 3, 2010.
Go spurs Go, let's make ff's game blogs 2-0!! :flag:

[TE]

#1 seed, here we come.

[TampaDude]

You can't really count the game in February...Pop dumped that game on purpose.

The Spurs will win tonight by double digits and clinch the West. :toast

[DarkGinobili]

:flag:

[Fireball]

:flag::flag::flag:

[Dex]

We gon' see dem. We gon' win. :ihit

[emanueldavidginobili]

The Blazers are better than their record shows

[Robz4000]

Blazers are gonna get up for this game. Spurs need to play hard and play smart the entire 48 mins for this.

[Fireball]

Don't think Timmy will sit this one out again ... so we should win at home

[Dex]

Don't think Timmy will sit this one out again ... so we should win at home

Yeah, my guess is Pop didn't want to play Tim on the B2B, and felt his size would be more use against the Blazers.

[Manu-20]

Yeah, my guess is Pop didn't want to play Tim on the B2B, and felt his size would be more use against the Blazers.
How much size do the blazers really have arnt both camby and aldrige both out with injuries?

[Texas_Ranger]

Camby is in Houston

[timtonymanu]

How much size do the blazers really have arnt both camby and aldrige both out with injuries?

Blazers have Thabeet, Hickson, Kurt Thomas, Przybilla, and Craig Smith.

Aldridge is done for the year. Camby was traded.

That being said, Spurs should win this one.

[EVAY]

Surely Pop is not going to sit any of the big three on "Fan Appreciation Night".

Not even Pop is that insensitive to ticket holders, is he?

[timvp]

^Pop sat Tim Duncan on Military Appreciation Night so I don't think he cares, tbh.

[Robz4000]

Blazers have Thabeet, Hickson, Kurt Thomas, Przybilla, and Craig Smith.

Aldridge is done for the year. Camby was traded.

That being said, Spurs should win this one.
Przybilla might possibly be out tonight too. Spurs should have an overwhelming advantage down low tonight.

[Sense]

^Pop sat Tim Duncan on Military Appreciation Night so I don't think he cares, tbh.

I think he plays Timmy and Parker and rests Manu.. rests all 3 against GS, and plays them limited minutes against PHX.

[Brazil]

FINISH that shit and then rest for the big 3

[Bruno]

FWIW, TP said on his radio show that everybody will play tonight. They wnat to clinch the first seed in the west.

[Sense]

FWIW, TP said on his radio show that everybody will play tonight. They wnat to clinch the first seed in the west.

I think he also said yesterday that he doesn't think they will rest the last 2 road games if they do win today... said that would be too much and believes they will play at least one of the two.

Number FIVE, Here WE Come!

[timtonymanu]

wtf is manu looking at :lol

Tim probably was playing with his hair or what's left of it.

[Manu-20]

Tim probably was playing with his hair or what's left of it.
at first thought to me it looked like he was staring at kawhi to see if he actually smiles.

[therealtruth]

The Spurs need to pay back the Blazers for that 40 point beatdown. There was no need for them to runup the score.

[GB20]

at first thought to me it looked like he was staring at kawhi to see if he actually smiles.

:lol

[Maddog]

Tim probably was playing with his hair or what's left of it.
:lol:lol:lol


I remember that



For some reason the game isn't listed on league pass whats up with that?

[MannyIsGod]

Not finding this on my TV league pass. Anyone have the same problem?

[Mugen]

Diaw starting.

[timtonymanu]

Diaw starting

YESSSSS!

[ajh18]

Not finding this on my TV league pass. Anyone have the same problem?

Same here. Anyone know what's happening? Stupid Comcast.

[TE]

Diaw starting, this is a good sign.

[loveforthegame]

Good to see Diaw starting. :tu

[MB3//]

Yes. Blair as the 5th big. Pleeeease.

[BanditHiro]

why no blair v thabeet???

[timtonymanu]

Having lived in Portland for a while now, it's sad how fast they have fallen.

[AztecSpur]

Not here in San Diego Time Warner either - League Pass Sucks!

[Manu-20]

spurs looking good to start the game

[phxspurfan]

Beautiful passing on display

[therealtruth]

Still would like to see more Tim/Tiago but Blair as 5th big is good.

[Robz4000]

Looks like Portland's gonna play dirty

[BanditHiro]

time to put in blair on thabeet.

[timtonymanu]

Good God scrubs. Stop trying to injure our guys.

[Mugen]

my heart just stopped.

[phxspurfan]

Kawhi being the enforcer after Thabeet leveled TP

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Not finding this on my TV league pass. Anyone have the same problem?


Yeah me, this sucks ass. Anyone PM me a link please?

[phxspurfan]

TP gets dropped again lol

[GB20]

please stop playing manu , timmy and tony until the playoff

[ace3g]

Green!!!

[Dex]

Green keeping the Spurs in it early. What a pickup this guy has turned out to be.

[GB20]

green is having a good game.

[Manu-20]

blazers working their ass of but still not good enough to beat the spurs or tbh even keep this game close if the spurs start to move the ball around more

[timvp]

I had to put my remote back together after I threw it when TP crumpled to the floor.

Not putting the Big 3 on the plane is starting to sound like a better and better idea.

[timtonymanu]

Green keeping the Spurs in it early. What a pickup this guy has turned out to be.

:tu His shot is looking more and more consistent. Perfect timing.

[ace3g]

Diaw to Timmy

[loveforthegame]

Beautiful start.

[ace3g]

Diaw Off rebound and putback!!!

[timtonymanu]

Damn I'm becoming a Diaw fan.

[ace3g]

Kawhi!!!

[loveforthegame]

I really like Diaw starting.

[100%duncan]

He looks like a basketball player now.... :lol

[Robz4000]

Spurs beginning to turn it on. Blow the game open early and cruise the rest of the way.

[timvp]

Kawhi's two-dribble pull-up would be deadly if he can make that shot consistently.

[Manu-20]

Thank god for boirs diaw dude is a 1000x better as a starting option for this team over blair

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice J for Leonard.

Diaw doing work on the boards

[EVAY]

Tony's gotten knocked down twice, Tim got knocked out of bounds once already. The refs have to get this under control before somebody actually gets hurt out there.

[shyne]

Danny's athleticism is very underrated

[TE]

Beautiful offensive basketball with Diaw in there.

[bklynspursfan]

We might finally keep a team under 90! although a 30+ quarter is inevitable

[timtonymanu]

The Blair/Jefferson for Diaw/Leonard starting lineup swap. Love it :tu

[Spurs Brazil]

Not putting the Big 3 on the plane is starting to sound like a better and better idea.

:tu

[kjhip1]

Kawhi's two-dribble pull-up would be deadly if he can make that shot consistently.

Honestly, he made that look easy. Its going to be awesome to see what he does with a training camp under his belt..I wonder if they send him to the sumer league games..not your typical rookie in the Spurs system...but your right if he can knock that down, he'll be even more deadly

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Love that Diaw is starting!

[100%duncan]

With Diaw starting, we have solid bench bigs in Splits and Matty

[Spurs Brazil]

Let's see if Bonner can make some shots

[Mugen]

I'm guessing 50% of the people in the blog could score on Matty on a 1 v 1 fastbreak.

[bklynspursfan]

Another sick pass! Dude has had the best passes all yr

[Splits]

Damn, this team is so fluid and sharp right now. Pls please please please please please PLEASE no injuries!!!

Diaw with 5 boards and 2 dimes in 8.5 min in the start. Nicely done my man.

[Mugen]

I had to put my remote back together after I threw it when TP crumpled to the floor.

Not putting the Big 3 on the plane is starting to sound like a better and better idea.

Please god, tell me Pop has learned from last year.

[100%duncan]

We need a CoD thread

[Bill_Brasky]

Dude...this game has seemed kinda ho hum, then I look up and the score is 27-12.

[Bill_Brasky]

Wow. Absolutely shredded that trap.

[timtonymanu]

eyestalker won't be happy about that defense.

[phxspurfan]

A Splitter-Diaw frontcourt could be ridiculous. Run the high low with that and some shooters, with Neal at point

[TE]

Okay blazers, stop trying, you ain't winning tonight. :lol

[TDfan2007]

This Spurs team is too good. They don't play down to the competition like the Spurs teams of old. Not sure why, but I love it!

[Dex]

Another 30 points quarter. NBD.

[EVAY]

this spurs team is too good. They don't play down to the competition like the spurs teams of old. Not sure why, but i love it!

+1

[loveforthegame]

Other than turnovers I thought the Spurs were pretty solid.

[Manu-20]

Looks like to me portland is trying really hard to avoid being blownout but the scary thing is the spurs werent even that sharp in the 1st

[timtonymanu]

I like how my feed has no commercial breaks and instead breaks out to what's going on in the arena. I feel like I'm there and you can hear Bill and Sean talking off the air. :lol.

[jestersmash]

It's somewhat disconcerting to see Jackson so sloppy near the end of the regular season.

I'm glad he has his "wind" back (as he says), but he's been just incredibly sloppy with positioning on offense lately, and his passes to Splitter always seem to result in turnovers.

[Bartleby]

This Spurs team is too good. They don't play down to the competition like the Spurs teams of old. Not sure why, but I love it!

I think it's partly because everybody wants minutes.

[DesignatedT]

I'd prefer the big 3 not travel to PHX or GS. It's just not worth it.

[timvp]

Jack benched for bad transition defense. Slooooooooooow walk to the bench.

[DAF86]

crofl Is somebody else watching the link where Sean and (who is the other guy?) are on even on the comercial breaks?

[kjhip1]

I like how my feed has no commercial breaks and instead breaks out to what's going on in the arena. I feel like I'm there and you can hear Bill and Sean talking off the air. :lol.

Yeah Sean is like "well there isnt any other games worth watching tonight...

[DAF86]

Jack benched for bad transition defense. Slooooooooooow walk to the bench.

Unnecesary from Pop, imho.

[timtonymanu]

Yeah Sean is like "well there isnt any other games worth watching tonight...

That's what made me laugh.

[Mugen]

Great game so far. Now take Manu out.

[Mugen]

Thanks Pop.

[100%duncan]

What's happening? I can't watch the fkn game.

[Robz4000]

Bench keeps playing like this there's no reason for the Big 3 to come back.

[DAF86]

Manu is going to chill all game long, you can see it. He's not attacking the basket a single time on this game. He had no other option on that fast break where he got fouled.

[Mugen]

I hope to see nothing but James Anderson to Matt Bonner alleyoops til Saturday.

[Paranoid Pop]

crofl Is somebody else watching the link where Sean and (who is the other guy?) are on even on the comercial breaks?

Yeah it get that often but they only ever talk about bball.

[mystargtr34]

Another reason i like Jack in the starting lineup.. he looks for Tiago in the post often.

[Mugen]

lol Splitter airballin a free throw

[ace3g]

Splitter doing work in the paint

[Libri]

Yes, Portland is cursed.

[100%duncan]

I can't believe that the channels on my tv prefers to show Memphis CLE and milwa-raptors. For god's sake this is ridiculous.

[NASpurs]

I swear someone just screamed to Neal: "Pass the ball!"

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago playing well

[Manu-20]

wtf spurs stop turing over the ball

[timtonymanu]

Come on. No need for that sloppy shit.

[100%duncan]

This Spurs team is too good. They don't play down to the competition like the Spurs teams of old. Not sure why, but I love it!

Yup, one major improvement for a contender tbh.

[Mugen]

I swear someone just screamed to Neal: "Pass the ball!"

Me too. I think it was Jack

[loveforthegame]

What an ugly stretch. Dumb turnovers.

[Robz4000]

Welp, bench startin to slip up. Guess the Big 3 are gonna have to come back in...

[kjhip1]

Danny Green needs to use his head...horrible pass..late as HeLL

[Reck]

Green needs more motivation. :cry

[timtonymanu]

Green needs more motivation. :cry

His tweet wasn't professional :cry
:lol FlashZo

[NASpurs]

Apparently Sean is starving and wants more M&Ms. :lol

[PingPong]

Green can't pass, Neal simply doesn't pass. Lol

[timvp]

Pop screaming at Neal to pass the ball. Neal stops playing to question Pop and then over-passes the next two possession.

Damn, I hate this game. Just get through it healthy, tbh.

[DarkGinobili]

LOL M&Ms.

[100%duncan]

Green needs more motivation. :cry

*tweets to danny green*

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

I swear someone just screamed to Neal: "Pass the ball!"

Yeah, it seems like every time Neal looks like he wants to jack up a 3, someone tells him to pass it to Splitter.

[Manu-20]

Me too. I think it was Jack
I think it was jack as well he has been wide opne a lot of times and neal keeps missing him

[mystargtr34]

Another reason i like Jack in the starting lineup.. he looks for Tiago in the post often.

I ment off the bench tbh

[100%duncan]

Isn't portland tanking or what?

[timtonymanu]

Come on. Don't throw this.

[ace3g]

Green for 3

[loveforthegame]

Of course Green hits the 3 as I type that.

[timtonymanu]

Green goods

[weebo]

neal with it mo fuckerrrrrrrs!

[DarkGinobili]

neal 3

[timtonymanu]

Send Timmy back to the bench again :lol.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Damn, Danny is playing hard.

[ace3g]

Green block leads to Neal with it 3

[Mugen]

Don't overreact Pop. Scrubs got this.

[kjhip1]

its like
Blazers: yes we got the lead down to 9...oh wait..

[Brazil]

Neal with the 3 tbh

[BanditHiro]

duncan and parker should go back to sitting on the bench.

[timvp]

Neal shoots a three with Splitter wide open under the basket. Ball goes in and he looks at Pop :lol

This game is turning into a soap opera.

[loveforthegame]

Nice to see them answer the Portland run.

Bench needs to play smarter though.

[Mugen]

I'm pretty sure Sean's gonna make a Bonner sucks comment sometime during this game when he thinks he's off the air.

[Spurs Brazil]

Green is fantastic. Since he got to the starting lineup he's playing better and better

[timvp]

Green is beasting. Guess I should forget about him more often . . .

[timtonymanu]

:lol Loving these off the air conversations.

[jestersmash]

Green block leads to Neal with it 3

Bad move by Neal. Instead of taking a wide open 3, he should've forced a risky pass into the paint to Splitter.

[Spurs4#5]

I swear someone just screamed to Neal: "Pass the ball!"

Yeah it was pop...he even motioned with his arms once Neal looked over to the bench

[NASpurs]

I'm pretty sure Sean's gonna make a Bonner sucks comment sometime during this game when he thinks he's off the air.

I'm expecting something juicy like Sean admitting that he's banging this chick he met a bar or something. :lol

[timtonymanu]

Green is fantastic. Since he got to the starting lineup he's playing better and better

Yes I've doubted him all year and even wanted Jack or Manu to start over him, but Green has more than earned it. :tu

[GB20]

we don't need tony and timmy on the court

[timtonymanu]

:lol Kurt Thomas dissing Thabeet

[Libri]

lol Kurt's comment about Thabeet

[Mugen]

:lol Kurt Thomas

[Brazil]

on espn Bruce Bowen takes on artest's elbow :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Defense looks great.

[Cry Havoc]

Also: Tony Parker might be the most unstoppable point guard in basketball. Wow.

[PingPong]

Blair resting today or he will play just in the garbage time?

[LakerHater]

Wow!

[Cry Havoc]

The Matt Bonner keepsake cup: With limited warranty*.



*Warranty good until May 1st.

[DarkGinobili]

Jackson

[MannyIsGod]

Vintage SJax

[mystargtr34]

I wonder if DeJuan thinks he is being rested for this one :lol.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great move Jax

[Reck]

These Blazers announcers are high. :lol

They said that if the Spurs get bounced in the first round again that the Spurs will trade Parker.

[ace3g]

SJAX to Timmy!! Dunk

[TIMMYD!]

Timmy dunk!

[Kyl3]

Damn!

[Libri]

:chestbump

[LakerHater]

WHOAAA, whos that #21!??

[Mugen]

Defense getting tuned up for the playoffs.

[MannyIsGod]

Love watching this team so much.

[kjhip1]

timmy lookin like Blake Griffin out there!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Duncans dunks have been vicious this year.

[Splits]

The Matt Bonner keepsake cup: With limited warranty*.



*Warranty good until May 1st.

:lmao

[Brazil]

Jax playing well :tu

[Manu-20]

if this defense is a preview of what the spurs are going to be doing in the playoffs we will be almost impossible to beat

[Manufan909]

Damn, I couldn't hear Land and Elliott as well that time. What were they saying about 95?

[HeroSquad]

Damn, I couldn't hear Land and Elliott as well that time. What were they saying about 95?

Apparently that's going to be the temperature in Phoenix when they get their for the game.

[Mugen]

Thomas with a grown man screen on Manu

[LakerHater]

Let Patty play his old team!

[LakerHater]

WoW!!!

[Mugen]

I dont know how many more TP falls i'm gonna be able to handle for this game.

[timtonymanu]

:lol Felton

[Cry Havoc]

Neal getting fouled with .5 on the clock. :lmao

[Spurs Brazil]

Good job Neal

[Reck]

Holy shit they finally call a foul as the time expires.

Back to back 30 point quarter. :toast

[BanditHiro]

lol 20 second time-out

[Manu-20]

for real portland coach wth do you think you are going to do in .5

[AztecSpur]

For those of you who don't have it on your TV NBA League Pass, I just found you can view it online at the League Pass website. You just have to choose the "activate your TV package" link. You need your cable account#. Only use the last 6 digits.:lobt2:

[Libri]

Portland drawing up a play for .5. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony is mad at Portland coach :lol

[timtonymanu]

lol even Parker was like "really? a timeout?"

[Mugen]

for real portland coach wth do you think you are going to do in .5

Not as much as what you can do with .4 :depressed

[timvp]

That bandwagoner of a South Texan Bulls fan who is coaching the Blazers just called the dumbest 20 second timeout in history.

[Manufan909]

Why did Neal only get 2 shots, when that was clearly a 3?

EDIT: Now I see, I didn't think opposing coaches could call a timeout during Spurs FTs.

[Brazil]

good first half ! you can see this team is hungry and focus ! love it

[Reck]

for real portland coach wth do you think you are going to do in .5

No wonder the refs are laughing at him.

I'm watching the Portland feed and they keep talking about how the refs keep laughing at portland or whatever.

[Kool Bob Love]

lol even Parker was like "really? a timeout?"


Gonna need a gif.:toast

[Libri]

The Portland coach was just trying to show that he takes this game seriously. :rollin

[Brazil]

Why did Neal only get 2 shots, when that was clearly a 3?

cauz it was 3 shots :lol

[Mugen]

Since the Blazers let a fan coach, the Spurs should let TJastal coach a game, tbh.

[Kool Bob Love]

Not as much as what you can do with .4 :depressed

Thanks alot.:(

[ace3g]

Jeff McDonald ‏ @JMcDonald_SAEN

Close

Spurs have not only won 7 in a row, they've won 7 in a row by double digits. Do it again tonight, and it sets a franchise record.

--

and we need a gif of that Manu pass to TP that sent TP "too close for comfort" down the hallway after the layup

[timtonymanu]

Since the Blazers let a fan coach, the Spurs should let TJastal coach a game, tbh.

He would trade Parker for :cry Indiana's starting point guard George Hill :cry.

[timtonymanu]

Gonna need a gif.:toast

Maybe LakerHater can hook you up.

[SpurinDallas]

No wonder the refs are laughing at him.

I'm watching the Portland feed and they keep talking about how the refs keep laughing at portland or whatever.

Parker and Pop also had a WTF face as well. :lol

[DMC]

Canales knew he would get face time on television if he called a time out.

[LakerHater]

Hopefully we see alot less of the Big Three in the 2nd half!

[timvp]

The Spurs with 18 assists in the first half on 23 field goal attempts.

Does Pop even play the Big 3 in the second half? His rotation in the second quarter make me think not.

[LakerHater]

Maybe LakerHater can hook you up.
Sorry, I didnt see that post.... What was it again?

[emanueldavidginobili]

I love how we can play sloppy basketball and still score 60 in a half

[timtonymanu]

Sorry, I didnt see that post.... What was it again?

Kool Bob Love wanted a gif of Tony's reaction to the Blazers' coach calling a timeout.

[Obstructed_View]

For those of you with LPB, the halftime conversation is ACTUALLY ABOUT THE SPURS. Make sure not to just pause and go do something else for 20 minutes.

[Manufan909]

Sorry, I didnt see that post.... What was it again?

The Manu-assisted TP layup where Tony ran halfway to the locker room after scoring.

[Manu-20]

Canales knew he would get face time on television if he called a time out.
tbh he was just auditing for BSPN's not top 10 it would be portlands only way to get the recognition they deserve.

[Kool Bob Love]

These. Good looking out.:toast

[Reck]

Cavs are putting up a fight against Memphis.

Cavs are putting up a fight against Memphis.

I know you've had it up for a while, but damn your sig :toast

[kjhip1]

SMH @ the Bobcats...Diaw has to be thanking GOD he was about out....how do you go from being on the worst team ever in the history of the NBA to the best team?

[timtonymanu]

Surprised Tony and Tim are starting the 2nd half.

[LakerHater]

and we need a gif of that Manu pass to TP that sent TP "too close for comfort" down the hallway after the layup


The Manu-assisted TP layup where Tony ran halfway to the locker room after scoring.

Green has been exceptionally verdant today...

[timtonymanu]

damn Thabeet, quit your shit, you scrub.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Wow, Thabeet out there trying to hurt someone.

[Libri]

Kurt was correct. Thabeet absolutely sucks.

[timtonymanu]

Okay. This will be the one time I wouldn't mind seeing Blair in there to punk Thabeet.

[SpurinDallas]

Fuck Thabeet. Get Blair in there to separate his shoulder again

[Robz4000]

Thabeet is looking to pull a MWP. Put Blair in to lay him out.

[loveforthegame]

Thanks but there is one later on in the game, where Manu throws a football type pass from about halfcourt to a running TP

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Get Blair in to go at Thabeet like old times.

[Bill_Brasky]

Get the big 3 the fuck outta there.
