Spurs vs Hawks: Wednesday Oct. 10th: 2nd Preseason Game

[bklynspursfan]

DeColo leaving his feet

[JRHernandez88]

Ahhhh sucks

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Make those FTs Curry!

[crc21209]

I'll say this, Curry is a BIG BOY in the paint. Just him being in the paint makes a difference on the boards....

[bklynspursfan]

I'll say this, Curry is a BIG BOY in the paint. Just him being in the paint makes a difference on the boards....

Exactly... He's like Blair with height and post moves

[crc21209]

So is there anyway we can dump Blair and Bonner and just roll with TD, Diaw, Splitter, Brown, Curry, and Powell as the bigs? :lol

[jestersmash]

Yeah I think Curry missed his only isolation baby hook in the paint, but the move still inspired confidence. Ball bounced pretty softly on the rim twice before gingerly rolling off.

He did throw up some garbage on a subsequent possession but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

[TimDunkem]

I wonder who will be this year's Pops Mensah Bonsu/Ganai Lawal.

Whichever player from the Curry/Powell duo that gets cut.

[Manu-20]

So is there anyway we can dump Blair and Bonner and just roll with TD, Diaw, Splitter, Brown, Curry, and Powell as the bigs? :lol

I honsestly think we could win a championship or be very much better with the big man problem if that happend but Matt bonner is here to stay.

[Dex]

I'm to the point where if the Spurs don't keep Curry, I'll be pissed.

He's not going to be a main cog or anything, but he appears to be in decent shape and can provide something the Spurs don't have, which is height. He is probably the best option they are going to find in that category.

If they let him walk, this front office has lost its mind.

[bklynspursfan]

Haha did you guys see the clip of Curry's first put back dunk on nba.com? He screamed then snatched the ball from Josh Smith

[Nathan89]

I'm sold on Curry making the team. If he doesn't I'll be upset.

[NASpurs]

Whichever player from the Curry/Powell duo that gets cut.

By reading the posts after your reply, I think it'll be Curry.

[timtonymanu]

So is there anyway we can dump Blair and Bonner and just roll with TD, Diaw, Splitter, Brown, Curry, and Powell as the bigs? :lol

Pop: We keep Bonner for his corporate knowledge.

[ace3g]

sucks Wilkerson didn't get any playing time in the 1st half, not sure what that means for him

[jestersmash]

I think a hungry Eddy Curry (no Dejuan, I don't mean literally hungry) has a fantastic upside:cost ratio. He's only about 4-5 years removed from being a 15/7 type player.

[Manu-20]

If It comes down to it I hope we can keep both Brown and Curry they would help us out a lot with the big man problem we have.

[bklynspursfan]

sucks Wilkerson didn't get any playing time in the 1st half, not sure what that means for him

Splitter didn't either

[TDMVPDPOY]

if curry can set a proper screen, he be here for the long run....his doing everything blair has stopped doing, it also helps his a legit big

[jestersmash]

Splitter didn't either

Splitter's injured. He was doing "no contact" drills just a couple of days ago.

[ace3g]

and other than Brown, Wilkerson was the one player to get limited minutes early through training camp/scrimmage, etc. Brown is getting extended minutes tonight, hopefully Wilkerson plays in 2nd half

[ace3g]

ok league pass go back to game, tweets showing it is back on

[Manu-20]

nice pass by kawhi

[mexpurs21]

Great ballhandling by Kawhi

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Leonard to Green 333333333333333

[jestersmash]

Curry with another non-screen for Leonard. Possession ends with a C.J. isolation play.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

How is Kawhi playing?

[jestersmash]

Great patience by Curry.

[Nathan89]

Dirty Curry is a bully in the paint.

[freetiago]

dont see the fascination with curry
just because hes 7 ft doesnt mean hes good
rather roll with splitter
2 7 footers is enough

curry just had 2 turnovers back to back on offense
let ivan johnson blow by him
then missed a wide open cutter screaming at him under the basket

[Dex]

Cury 2/6 FTs. HES A SPUR!

[RodNIc91]

Curry is a terrible FT shooter. He is a spur TBH

[crc21209]

Damn Curry totally missed Joseph under the basket wide open...

[racm]

Green BLOCK

[Dex]

Crazy block by Green.

[crc21209]

Damn Green!

[freetiago]

leonard trying to do too much now
showing off his new handle every play
exact opposite of what made him sucessful in his rookie season

[racm]

Joseph needs more work on his handles...

[crc21209]

Stupid pass by Joseph...

[Dex]

Lazy play there. Joseph with a dumb pass top of the key, then Green with the gimme And-1.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Green possibly hurt?

[Nathan89]

Damn Curry totally missed Joseph under the basket wide open...

I think that happened because he just got scored on and he was trying to make-up for that.

[ace3g]

Brown!!!

[NASpurs]

Splitter checking in. His vagina must have cured itself.

[freetiago]

future all star checking in

[Dex]

Wow, Curry just leveled Johnson!

[jestersmash]

Curry is a tank. I like that.

[racm]

Neal!

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Splitter sighting.

[ace3g]

Neal with it!!!

[bklynspursfan]

Splitter's injured. He was doing "no contact" drills just a couple of days ago.

He's in now... I thought I saw earlier he was cleared...

[flipspursfan]

What's the score guys?

[racm]

Splitter! :wow

[NASpurs]

Brown showing the whole repertoire.

[ace3g]

Brown to Splitter

[Trill Clinton]

be nice when Tiago learns how to dunk when he's open.

[crc21209]

Damn I'm liking Brown more and more...

[Sa_Spursfan20]

What's the score guys?

66-64. Spurs lead.

[NASpurs]

Jax shot had some moisture on it.

[racm]

Jackson!

[ace3g]

sjax!!

[bbarry]

jaxxxxx

[Dex]

Good to see Squeaky Johnson getting a chance with an NBA team.

[freetiago]

tiago isnt some monkey like griffin who has to dunk it everytime and blow out his knees

and neal earned the back up spot tonight
good passes and his shots always wet

[racm]

Lol Tiago traveled

[ElNono]

splitter still with no post game...

[Nathan89]

Splitter still playing like a soft pussy.

[blackfire12]

Yeaaah... splitter still looks like shit

[crc21209]

I like Splitter in pick n roll, but other than that...I don't know what to think of him.

[jestersmash]

Splitter still playing like a soft pussy.

He sets good screens though (not being sarcastic).

That last screen he set for de colo was a man's screen.

[racm]

Tiago "Charmin" Splitter

[crc21209]

I think what we've seen with Splitter is basically the best we're going to get. I mean, he's a softie Euro big man who can set good screens, finish off the pick n roll, and that's about it. He's never going to dominate someone in a 1 on 1 post move....

[Trill Clinton]

does de colo have a decent post game?

[crc21209]

We need Jack to take Splitter to the hoods of Port Arthur to hood his ass up a bit...:lol

[racm]

De Colo looks good.

[Nathan89]

He sets good screens though (not being sarcastic).

That last screen he set for de colo was a man's screen.

It's not going to mean anything in the playoffs when you can switch and leave Fisher type players on him.

[TDMVPDPOY]

damn some yummy mommies

[jeebus]

I'm tired of hearing the name Squeaky Johnson.

[Manu-20]

WTF BS call on jackson.

[racm]

Nice defense

[Kyl3]

Nice D by Jackson. Late ass whistle

[Buddy Holly]

Can we trade Splitter and Bonner and keep Brown and Curry.

[Manu-20]

Can we trade Splitter and Bonner and keep Brown and Curry.
Look splitter ain't perfect but he is still a hell lot better than most back up centers you are going to find.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol splitter haters should get of his cock, seriously would u prefer to keep splitter or overpay for one....LMAO ROCKETS@ASIK

[Manu-20]

Okay the game says it's in the 4th why isn't the feed showing it.

[Nathan89]

Can't wait to see Nash guard Tiago in the post.:rolleyes

[ace3g]

stream always starts late

[Trill Clinton]

lol splitter haters should get of his cock, seriously would u prefer to keep splitter or overpay for one....LMAO ROCKETS@ASIK

rather over pay asik

[racm]

Powell and1

[NASpurs]

Powell has been impressive as hell too in this game. Let's keep them all!

[ace3g]

pow pow pow

[jestersmash]

Okay the game says it's in the 4th why isn't the feed showing it.

2 minutes gone by in the 4th and the stream just starts to show it.

You know I'm not feeling so guilty about watching an illegal stream right now.

[TDMVPDPOY]

rather over pay asik

lol avgs same minutes as splitter, less stats...take ur pick...played in the pathetic east and cant even post anything close to splitters stats

[NASpurs]

De Colo with the Manu Lite pass :lmao

[ace3g]

Nando needed some more Franglishtian on that

[RodNIc91]

Is it just me or the stream is ver f'd up right now?

[Outlier]

Umm Asik is way better than Spliiter, it's not even funny. Asik's strength and manliness >>>> Splitter.

[Manu-20]

I think with De Colo on the floor neal should never take the ball up court.

[Kyl3]

Mine has been working fine.

[mexpurs21]

Is it just me or the stream is ver f'd up right now?
I guess its just you

[NASpurs]

De Colo is fucking slick with his passing.

[Manu-20]

Holy De Colo that was a nice dime.

[TDMVPDPOY]

de colo reminds me of white chocolate, once other teams figure out his hocus pocus passes, he be limited to what he can do

[mexpurs21]

Cmon Curry get 2 rebounds !

[NASpurs]

Fucking shit Powell. Just the thought of Bonner being here instead of Powell, Curry or Brown...

I'm going to be pissed when some of these guys are cut knowing that thrash ginger is there.

[Trill Clinton]

nice d by cojo

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Powell making some nice shots!

[crc21209]

Powell with the J! :tu

[racm]

Cory Joseph :wow

[freetiago]

take powell over bonner/blair
balling out there right now
generating his own offense in the low post and is able to find cutters

[Manu-20]

Why in god's name does bonner have to be on this damn team we could of signed 2 big men if it weren't for him.

[ElNono]

Keep Curry, Powell... promote Bonner to director of Toros scouting, put Tiago on the trading block

[TimDunkem]

Send Cory to Austin, get rid of Maddie Bonnet, and sign Brown, Powell, and Curry. PLEASE!

[racm]

Nice corner 3

[NASpurs]

De Colo is doing everything tonight. We staaaaaaaaaaacked.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Nando 33333!

[Trill Clinton]

Keep Curry, Powell... promote Bonner to director of Toros scouting, put Tiago on the trading block


:tu

[NASpurs]

Eddy Curry was about to eat Ivan Johnson :lmao :lmao

[racm]

De Colo dark horse for All-Rookie team

[mexpurs21]

Eddy Curry was about to eat Ivan Johnson :lmao :lmao

Love his attitude even in a meaningless preseason game

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol curry gettin into that defenders head every time he has the ball down low

[jestersmash]

I'm loving Curry's attitude and swagger.

[freetiago]

all rookie second if he gets minutes
which wont happen unless manu gets injured half the season again
SG crop is weak this year
only good ones are jenkins and beal

[Nathan89]

Don't worry guys Curry just has preseason jitters at the ft line.

[NASpurs]

Holy shit, Roger Mason Jr. grew about 4 inches.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Im going to eat my words on Eddy Curry. Im really liking what he brings to the table.

[DesignatedT]

We need to keep curry and Powell.

Trade Neal + Bonner/Blair for first ronder. Let Nando play.

[TimDunkem]

lol Curry is laying people out.

[bklynspursfan]

Nice ovation for Curry there. Nice physical play tonight

[NASpurs]

:lmao @ the Hawks bench. It's preseason dumbasses.

[Trill Clinton]

splitter is absolutely atrocious in the low post smh

[bbarry]

tiago got smacked

[bklynspursfan]

Splitter gets taken on defense then turns it over lol

[ElNono]

this team has been so full of pussies for so long... would be great to have both Jack and Curry to toughen up the group, tbh

[bbarry]

Im going to eat my words on Eddy Curry. Im really liking what he brings to the table.

well better eat them before he gets to them.

[racm]

Please Pop, can we keep Curry? He brings the nasty

[Ice009]

Splitter is playing soft. Curry really wants it. He's playing hard and trying to bring toughness out there. I am really impressed with Curry's effort. He really does want it, playing very physical. I love it.

[Manu-20]

Man I really want de Colo to get pt this season dude is showing much more game than I thought he had and also can we please somehow keep 2 of Brown,Powell, or Curry.

[TDMVPDPOY]

wilkerson wearing 7...reminds me of jr reid the scrub

[Libri]

I really like what I'm reading about De Colo. :)

[Sa_Spursfan20]

NICE STEAL NANDO!

[MeesterMarcus]

nice colo

[Trill Clinton]

tengo orajon sightin

[Manu-20]

alright im conviced De Colo needs to get some dam PT this year.

[TDMVPDPOY]

did u guys just see koriwhats brother? lol spurs tat on his throat hahahaha

[TimDunkem]

tengo orajon sightin

:lol

[ElNono]

Los Zetas cartel member with a nice Spurs tat

[bklynspursfan]

did u guys just see koriwhats brother? lol spurs tat on his throat hahahaha

Haha I caught that too

[MeesterMarcus]

wow steal again nice

[NASpurs]

Another steal by De Culo :lmao

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Nando De Colo...another steal. Fantastic.

[ace3g]

Dunder Mifflin scores

[MeesterMarcus]

nice assist again. 9 assists damn.

[Manufan909]

WitherspOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOn!!!

[NASpurs]

Man, De Colo sure does look like Manu when he's out there. 9 assists for him.

[bklynspursfan]

Dam De Colo looked Just LIKE MANU on that pass. The way he setup and everything

[Sa_Spursfan20]

BANG! Nandoooooooo with the assist. He deserves more PT.

[racm]

9 assists for Manu Lite

[MeesterMarcus]

yeah his passing is sharp and fast like manu

[freetiago]

nando has great vision and passing ability
he should be able to do good with better weapons out there but hes still playing d-league level players

[ace3g]

Nando is the real deal for passing/ball handling - defense, shooting is where he will have to adjust to nba speed, but based on this game might not take him that long

[spurraider21]

Curry is bringing the nasty. Tiago should take lessons. De Colo is really impressing me, I have to remind myself that its NOT manu out there. cojo looks improved with his floor presence, but with our depth i'd love for him to play D-league one more year and really work on the jump shot. because by next near Neal will be gone and he'll get those minutes.

its such a shame that bonner has 3 mil guaranteed, or else he'd get cut before they leave the locker room. i doubt holt wants to pay him via amnesty either, doesn't have deep pockets.

[ElNono]

I liked De Colo steals...we need that

[bbarry]

Man, De Colo sure does look like Manu when he's out there. 9 assists for him.

i was gonna say this. he literally plays the same way, and like you said looks like him out there

[NASpurs]

Joseph choking at the line.

[ElNono]

goddamn corey

[TimDunkem]

I like all of these training camp players. It'll suck to watch all of them go and contribute on other teams.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

You gotta hit those, Cory.

[NASpurs]

That was one big ass! Need a gif!

[MeesterMarcus]

haha chick shaking her ass

[racm]

:lmao at the ass lady

[Manufan909]

Random milf shaking that ass, I love Spurs fans!!!!

[TDMVPDPOY]

tony parkers eyes light up when he saw that ass shake

[ElNono]

Tony coaching... this shit's going to OT :td

[Trill Clinton]

haha chick shaking her ass

i wish her the best of luck on that long walk to her car lol

[spurraider21]

i'm actually shocked that curry was able to play 25 minutes. 4 fouls is a concern, but he really played better than i expected.

[Libri]

That was one big ass! Need a gif!

Was Blair watching?

[NASpurs]

I can still feel the earth shake when that lady shook her ass.

[MeesterMarcus]

oh shit

[Manu-20]

De Colo game winner bank on it.

[ace3g]

damn Dunder Mifflin!!!

[bbarry]

tony parker lol

[MeesterMarcus]

tony parker with the clipboard haha cool

[spursince#99]

DAMN YOU WILKERSON

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Oh lord.

[racm]

:lol overtime

[bbarry]

wtf i thought we were up by more than one possession

[jestersmash]

Tony with the "I'm the Big 3 I can call a timeout and set up a play whenever the hell I want" swag.

[jeebus]

NICE!

[MeesterMarcus]

oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit

[NASpurs]

DE COLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

DE COLO FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!

[Trill Clinton]

Tony!!!

[Manufan909]

GOTTTTT DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[racm]

MANU LITE

[ElNono]

french victory!

[ace3g]

Nando De Colo!!!

[spursince#99]

DE COLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[MeesterMarcus]

DE CLUTCH

[racm]

De Colo game winner bank on it.

:wow
:wow
:wow
:wow

[freetiago]

well de colo made me eat shit
could easily see him running point
he needs to work on his release
kind of slow but if he spots up and creates he could be fine

[MeesterMarcus]

What an awesome pre-season game

[Manu-20]

DE COLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[ace3g]

and again 6'5 PG can have mismatches against certain players

[BoricuaCJA]

De Colo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Nando. You are the freaking man. Im not sold yet, but tonight really helped. Damn. What a game. GO SPURS GO!

[MeesterMarcus]

Thank god for FirstRow

[spursince#99]

Yeah it's safe to say he has the potential to be the next Manu

[crc21209]

De Colo with the game winner! :lol Awesome...

[loveforthegame]

De Colo nice. :tu

[ace3g]

Ironic, Manu called play for Neal game winner in summer league few years back and we know what type of impact Neal had, now Tony calls play for De Colo...

[racm]

This reminds me of that Manu game winner against Milwaukee...

[Manu-20]

Damn what a great preseason game one of the best i've seen in a long time.

[NickiRasgo]

Is Tony the one who drew the play? Like what Manu did before:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzGY9aAdgmQ

[MI21]

Can't wait to see the video of this, nice start to the pre-season with De Colo showing something and the training camp big men showing promise.

[TimDunkem]

Now where's the .gif of the girl shaking her ass?

[spursince#99]

someone upload The video PLEASE

[elveinte]

Didn't Leonard hit a game winner last year too? Seems to be a key to success.

[Ice009]

I like all of these training camp players. It'll suck to watch all of them go and contribute on other teams.

Best overall group of training camp players the Spurs have invited in a long time. I really want to keep two or three of these players. I want Curry and Powell, really like Brown too.

[MeesterMarcus]

Now where's the .gif of the girl shaking her ass?
:toast

[TDMVPDPOY]

de colo handling alot of pg duties today...makes me wonder why they even resign mills, let alone bring in joseph....just makes it those 2 roster spots couldve been better used up addressing our roster

[spursince#99]

Has Timmy ever drawn up A game winning play?

[spursince#99]

will spurs.com upload the entire game on youtube?

[ace3g]

so glad there was a stream tonight

[TMTTRIO]

good thing De Colo will be a great Manu replacement when Manu retires after the season.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

so glad there was a stream tonight

I cannot agree more. That was a fun game to watch.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

lol that was a fun little preseason game, curry showing some "gangstaness", powell going ham ,de colo GW and that milf shaking her ass...fun little game

[ace3g]

game winning shot

http://www.nba.com/video/games/spurs/2012/10/11/0011200024-atl-sas-play5.nba/index.html

[timtonymanu]

It makes me so angry one of these guys is going to get cut. Matt Bonner better make his spot worth it this year, but it's pointless to expect anything different.

[spursince#99]

Man I love This Team

[ace3g]

That is one of the reasons I was upset about the loss to the Thunder, I knew if we had won it all, we would have essentially the same team with extra depth returning this season.

[justinandimcool]

Jack and Curry are great teammates, they looked legitimately overjoyed after the shot.

[angelbelow]

Couldn't catch the game but happy to read that De Colo hit the game winning shot. I think Kawhi also hit a game winning shot during last seasons preseason (against the rockets?)

[ace3g]

Another positive on Nando, he doesn't seem rushed when he dribbles the ball and runs plays, even if he isn't comfortable in a situation.

[spursince#99]

I believe Curry really wants to be apart of us as well. I think he's appeased by the fact that we're more of a family.

[ace3g]

Someone get him a Rising Stars invite

[Juggity]

Wow, wish I could have watched this game!

That final shot was crazy. De Colo has such a weird, jerky shooting form.

I guess I missed it, but how did the coyote do on spelling out "SPURS" on the new court design:

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Dammit, why do we have to be stuck with Bonner?

[99 Problems]

Several new guys laying claim to GOAT pre-season player. If it's an award we'll take it.

looks like eddy is enjoying himself here....sign him

looks like eddy is enjoying himself here....sign him

Exactly! He looks absolutely ecstatic on the court. I hope the Spurs reward him because of that.

[szkorhetz]

De Colo really seems like a Manu 2.0. His movement, his style. When I watched him, sometimes I really forgot he is not Manu...

[ace3g]

De Colo really seems like a Manu 2.0. His movement, his style. When I watched him, sometimes I really forgot he is not Manu...

Well lets see:

Short hair - check

Odd shaped nose - check

Creative passing - check

Good ball handler - check

De Colo has the attributes to be Manu 2.0

[spursince#99]

I don't like the notion of you guys comparing De Colo to my favorite player though
