Game Thread: Spurs @ Kings - Nov 9, 2012

[BatManu20]

Omg Danny Green make a damn layup. We're lucky we're playing the Kings..

[jestersmash]

There was clearly a foul lol

Yeah I mean if you want to call that level of contact a "foul," then a foul should be called on 90% of Duncan's isolation attempts.

[timvp]

Basketball is being set back by about 55 years.

[DesignatedT]

Did Danny work on his game at all this off-season?

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Evans is so lucky he got that bailout call. Usually going 1 on 4 is a good way to get yourself benched.

[jestersmash]

Wow, that last Parker to Duncan pass looked like '11-'12 Spurs basketball. Clean attempt near the rim.

[007nites]

Take it easy DeJuan this isn't football

[DapDaGenius]

I think Blair will end up fighting Thompson.

[DPG21920]

Yeah I mean if you want to call that level of contact a "foul," then a foul should be called on 90% of Duncan's isolation attempts.

:lol Brah he was holding and grabbing Duncan in the torso in a major way. The block was clean but only because he held Tim down. This is not debatable.

[LakerHater]

Kinda boring game.

[DesignatedT]

fucking blair

[jestersmash]

:lol Brah he was holding and grabbing Duncan in the torso in a major way. The block was clean but only because he held Tim down. This is not debatable.

:lol watch the replay again.

[timvp]

Tyreke Evans is the DeJuan Blair of guards.

[DapDaGenius]

I can't believe Blair missed that shot.

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair is damn awful

[DPG21920]

:lol watch the replay again.

I did.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yeah, let's let the Kings back in the game! Maybe we'll have an exciting 4th Q!

Watching this game hurts my eyes and my brain.

[LakerHater]

Good thing the Kings aent havin a Clipper game on us!

[HI-FI]

how is NBA LP, is it choppy? My NBA Illegal Pass is choppy as shit.

[jestersmash]

I did.

Without your "I refuse to admit that I was wrong to save face" glasses.

[jestersmash]

Tony 1-3 and Manu 0-3 more than half way through the game. Manu's lack of attempts I can understand, but it's a little strange to see Tony with just 3 FGA so far.

[LakerHater]

Yeah, jus give it up jestersmash!

[DapDaGenius]

how is NBA LP, is it choppy? My NBA Illegal Pass is choppy as shit.

:lol

[justinandimcool]

this is depressing

[Texas_Ranger]

damn our offense sucks.

[DesignatedT]

:lol at that call.

[LakerHater]

I'll take that!!

[SpurPadre]

Omg Danny Green make a damn layup. We're lucky we're playing the Kings..

As a longtime and hardcore Spurs fan who lives near Sacramento, I was listening to a local Kings broadcaster on the radio actually try to sell to fans that the Kings have a shot to win tonight if they play their A game and the Spurs play their B or C game, LOL. Well, we're playing our D game and there's still no doubt in my mind we'll win by double-digits against their A game.

[SpursRock20]

Ginobili just looks...off.

[DPG21920]

Without your "I refuse to admit that I was wrong to save face" glasses.

SMH. timvp - did you think that was a foul on cousins (a legit one) on Tim? Whatever he says we agree is correct, deal jmash?

[HI-FI]

Kawhis 3s:depressed

[Spurs Brazil]

pathetic

[timvp]

OMG. This game.

[capek]

:lol Boris

[timvp]

SMH. timvp - did you think that was a foul on cousins (a legit one) on Tim? Whatever he says we agree is correct, deal jmash?

I'd have to watch it again, tbh.

[ElNono]

for some reason Diaw is getting love form the refs..

[DPG21920]

Yeah, jus give it up jestersmash!

My man, can you settle this with one of your delicious gifs?

[007nites]

Boris hitting the deck on every possession

[jestersmash]

SMH. timvp - did you think that was a foul on cousins (a legit one) on Tim? Whatever he says we agree is correct, deal jmash?

:lmao jesus calm down it's not a big deal. I assumed you would take my last post in stride and just move on.

Here - "DPG you were absolutely correct. That was definitely a foul on Cousins". Feel better?

:lmao

[LakerHater]

That was a lil late!

[justinandimcool]

the whole team has a stomach virus apparently....very weird of this team to put up a sleepy effort two nights in a row

[DPG21920]

:lmao jesus calm down it's not a big deal. I assumed you would take my last post in stride and just move on.

Here - "DPG you were absolutely correct. That was definitely a foul on Cousins". Feel better?

:lmao

:lol Dayum dude, relax! I thought you would just take my last post and move on.

[ElNono]

Turnobili

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Ugh Ginobili

[timvp]

WTF Manu. What is he doing? About seven bad passes in the span of two minutes.

[DesignatedT]

:lmao manu

[SpurPadre]

Ginobili just looks...off.

He'll be the Manu we all know and love by next month, book it.

[Malik Hairston]

Ginobili looks brutal, tbh..complete liability right now..

[DapDaGenius]

I can't take this anymore

http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md38f6G4Oa1r6y4tr.gif

[NickiRasgo]

lol Manu

[jestersmash]

Manu with 2 consecutive turnovers now.

Poor spacing by Neal/Mills as well, although Diaw had a heads up pass to a semi-open Neal.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

His shot aint falling so he is forcing everything.

[timvp]

Welcome back, Manu.

[DPG21920]

Why are we playing so much slower than last year?

[ElNono]

Ginobleed!

[justinandimcool]

this is what tanking's like

[DesignatedT]

Manu is asking himself wtf is going on :lol

[capek]

Timmy with the rim defense! Just gotta get that rebound!

[timvp]

If the Spurs played like this against a playoff team, they'd be done by approximately 200 points.

[Uriel]

See what a simple screen and roll can do.

[ElNono]

Manu just playing down to Marcus "the microwave" Thorton level...

[DesignatedT]

I'm blaming everything on the Flu tonight.

[SpursRock20]

I think Pop needs to bring Green off of the bench next game. He has been our most consistent guard this year and God knows the bench needs it.

[siraulo23]

Why are we playing so much slower than last year?

i dunno, focus on defense this year? :lol

[Uriel]

Why are we playing so much slower than last year?
We're usually like that on the road.

[superjames1992]

Manu needs to stop passing the ball. He's too tentative this year. Go to the rim, young (or not) man!

[LakerHater]

So whos coachin the fLakers tonight?

[jestersmash]

The engine of our offense and our #1 option (Tony Parker) is currently tied for the second least FGA among active Spurs players this game, and I don't think the Kings' "lockdown defense" has everything to do with it.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Damn third quarters have been really bad for us.

[HI-FI]

So whos coachin the fLakers tonight?

Bonnie Bernstein or Bennie Bickerstaff,s omething like that

[ElNono]

trade Bonner!

[timvp]

18 turnovers so far :lol

[TMTTRIO]

Unfortunately Manu can't bring it off the bench anymore like he used to and we've been seeing it more and more.

[timvp]

Just keep shooting, Patty.

[jestersmash]

Patty Mills just pulled a move I would expect from Tony Parker.

[timvp]

Keep shooting.

[ace3g]

Patty!!

[LakerHater]

Ohh mama!!

[CitizenDwayne]

Patty. Thank you for the effort.

[timtonymanu]

Hopefully this gets Patty going in the long run.

[SpurPadre]

I think Pop needs to bring Green off of the bench next game. He has been our most consistent guard this year and God knows the bench needs it.

If he's to go to the bench for the next game, it wouldn't be to help the bench, it would be to bring out the best in Manu because he's the superior player and you win with your stars. Of course...Manu isn't Manu at the moment...but point still stands.

[LakerHater]

Pass to Patty Manu!!

[tim_duncan_fan]

Tim is back to being Timid, waiting forever to make a move and Ginobili is being annoyingly goofballish.


It's doubly annoying with TD because there is almost never reason for Tim to think he can't take a shot.

[007nites]

Marcese Thornton

[CitizenDwayne]

lol Elliott with the jinx

[timvp]

Diaw getting Kobe Bryant calls tonight :lol

[LakerHater]

shooters bounce!

[NickiRasgo]

What the f~ that Neal is guarding Thomas while Mills guarding Thornton.

[jestersmash]

Great effort by Patty diving to the floor.

Terrible individual defense by Neal per par.

[naico]

Turnobili in full effect

[CitizenDwayne]

Manu...

[SequSpur]

where is the chat so we can bag on the spurstalk chicks?

[DPG21920]

:lmao Manu tripping over himself for the turnover

[SpursRock20]

If he's to go to the bench for the next game, it wouldn't be to help the bench, it would be to bring out the best in Manu because he's the superior player and you win with your stars. Of course...Manu isn't Manu at the moment...but point still stands.

True, Manu doesn't look like his usual self with the ball in his hands. I feel if he played with the starters, he could defer to Parker a bit more. I'd really like to see him play better.

[timvp]

Hopefully Manu didn't just hurt himself there when he attempted a crossover and imploded.

[justinandimcool]

lololol if we win this

[ElNono]

Emmanuel with the bads per par

[LakerHater]

19 TOs!!

[Malik Hairston]

What the fuck is wrong with Gonobili's balance and handles?..

[Uriel]

Spurs suck.

[Sense]

What is wrong with Ginobili?

[007nites]

19 TO's still up by 1

[jimbo]

Anyone know why Blair's wearing that headband? I don't know if he wore it yesterday.

I saw Josh Smith and Zach Randolph wearing them too. I'd guess it's for Obama but i don't know.

[024]

there's no denying it. ginobili is old and there's no amount of rest to cure that.

[DesignatedT]

Really need to find a way to win this with @Portland tomorrow.

[ElNono]

father time, tbh

[ElNono]

Anyone know why Blair's wearing that headband? I don't know if he wore it yesterday.

I saw Josh Smith and Zach Randolph wearing them too. I'd guess it's for Obama but i don't know.

military night

[timvp]

Can't lose this game, tbh. The Kings have been HORRIBLE. Need to just play a little less horrible and get this win.

[Spurs Brazil]

I thought it was bad at the half but it got much worst. Wow, that's a terrible and UGLY game

[bklynspursfan]

Awful 1st and awful 3rd.... let's hope the 4th is like the 2nd. They look pathetic out there. I thought the clips game was a fluke but they look like that game never ended

[timvp]

Anyone know why Blair's wearing that headband? I don't know if he wore it yesterday.

I saw Josh Smith and Zach Randolph wearing them too. I'd guess it's for Obama but i don't know.

Zach Randolph voted for Romney.

[jestersmash]

there's no denying it. ginobili is old and there's no amount of rest to cure that.

Yeah but he was averaging 20 with his national team in the olympics just a couple of months ago. He looks unusually bad right now even for his age.

[spectator]

ginobili just pure garbage right now - let's get into shape man!

[timvp]

Neal playing at Sleep Train Arena. :lol

[Kidd K]

What's the most turnovers we've had in a game in the last 2 years?

[Libri]

nice play

[LakerHater]

Wayta go Tiago!

[siraulo23]

patty

[ElNono]

Talking about Neal, is it just me or did he go from godmode 2 games ago to garbage the last 2?

[ace3g]

diaw to Splitter and now Patty!!

[timvp]

Didn't Mills have his breakout game last year in Sacramento?

[SequSpur]

where is the chat so we can bag on the spurstalk chicks?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Watch TP go off this Q. I predict he'll score 6-8pts straight at some point.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Oh TP has the flu that explains a bit

[CitizenDwayne]

Awesome passing by Boris

[DPG21920]

Does Mills not remind anyone else of Busy-Bee from Sunset Park

[Flawless]

I really hope Patty gets that backup point position.

[Splits]

Didn't Mills have his breakout game last year in Sacramento?

Yes, I was at that game. Last of the season I think...

[ElNono]

Tiago has to be softest than Diaw, and that says a lot right there

[SpursRock20]

Not sure if this has already been said, but SAC announcers just said that Parker has the flu.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Kings announcers are praising Patty Mills quite a lot

[ElNono]

grab a fucking board, jesus H christ

[Kidd K]

Not sure if this has already been said, but SAC announcers just said that Parker has the flu.

I think two other players have it as well. Jackson isn't playing today because of it. I forget who the third guy is that has it.

[ElNono]

Bonner has the flu too

[jimbo]

military night


Ohh. That makes a lot more sense. Thanks

[Splits]

NVM, that was GSW not Sac

[DPG21920]

I don't think it's accurate to call Tiago soft. He finishes soft around the rim, but other than that dude is physical as hell (set's great firm screens, bangs hard down low on defense, going to the floor, taking charges...).

[AussieFanKurt]

why was mills taken off instead of neal

[timvp]

19 turnovers. Allowed 12 offensive rebounding. Up 4?

[jestersmash]

Not sure if this has already been said, but SAC announcers just said that Parker has the flu.

This would explain a lot tbh.

[ElNono]

why was mills taken off instead of neal

CIA Pop

[ElNono]

I thought Salmons was in the DLeague

[Spurs Brazil]

And Pop sit Mills and Neal is playing

dAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AussieFanKurt]

19 turnovers. Allowed 12 offensive rebounding. Up 4?

look who spurs are playing... not surprising tbh

[jestersmash]

Patty's received a healthy 17 minutes of non-garbage play time so far. This is encouraging for Patty fans (myself included).

[timvp]

I don't think it's accurate to call Tiago soft. He finishes soft around the rim, but other than that dude is physical as hell somewhat physical (set's great firm screens, bangs hard down low on defense, going to the floor, taking charges flops...).

Fixed.

[SpursRock20]

Patty's received a healthy 17 minutes of non-garbage play time so far. This is encouraging for Patty fans (myself included).

Most impressively, his defense has looked very encouraging.

[DPG21920]

Classic timvp meltdown

[timvp]

The Spurs are getting a good whistle tonight, tbh.

[jestersmash]

Most impressively, his defense has looked very encouraging.

If nothing else he's always been a pest for the opposing guard in a full court press. His individual defense can be spotty at times, but today he's been fairly solid - I agree.

[DPG21920]

The Spurs are getting a good whistle tonight, tbh.

i c what u did there

[SequSpur]

manu sucks

[jestersmash]

If nothing else he's always been a pest for the opposing guard in a full court press. His individual defense can be spotty at times, but today he's been fairly solid - I agree.

Individual half court defense*

[TDMVPDPOY]

gary neal is nothing more than a fkn scrub chuckn shots

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Since he has the flu, I take back my prediction for TP.

This is Patty's best game of the year so far.

[bklynspursfan]

Is Jack with the team?

[CitizenDwayne]

Cousins...geez

[SequSpur]

manu and bonner to the lakers for gasol....

[LakerHater]

Is Jack with the team?

I didnt think so??

[naico]

Get TP out of this game

[bklynspursfan]

I didnt think so??

Don't see him on the bench wasn't sure

[DPG21920]

:lol Sean furious at the stat keepers

[SpursRock20]

Parker needs to sit. More Patty :hungry:

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

The NBA is making me hate gingers.

[PingPong]

I don't think it's accurate to call Tiago soft. He finishes soft around the rim, but other than that dude is physical as hell (set's great firm screens, bangs hard down low on defense, going to the floor, taking charges...).

The brazilian national team staff tried to make him a player like Nowitzki when he was a under 17 playeer, including 3 pt shooting. Then he gone to Spain and started to play with his bavk to the rim.

[LakerHater]

WOW danny!!

[CitizenDwayne]

Danny putting in work

[justinandimcool]

:lol the Kings announcers hate their team

[timvp]

:lol @ Elliott's meltdown

The refs have been just about as bad as the players this game. Lot of blown calls both ways.

[024]

wtf am i watching?!?

[Trainwreck2100]

damn good D from green there

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why would Pop play TP when he has the flu and is obviously well off the pace? Strange decision. I'd have him quarantined in a hotel room and fed anti-oxidants!

[DapDaGenius]

So that wasn't an offensive foul from Cousins?

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Lol even the Kings announcers are shitting on the refs

[DapDaGenius]

Why would Pop play TP when he has the flu and is obviously well off the pace? Strange decision. I'd have him quarantined in a hotel room and fed anti-oxidants!

He is trying to infect the other team.

[LakerHater]

Offensive foul!!!

[SequSpur]

Cousins balling... Spurs need to grow some fuckin balls and man up...

[justinandimcool]

refs trolling Pop :lol

[timvp]

Blair??????

[bklynspursfan]

Wish we Had someone to give a hard foul

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Never seen clearer charge than that. Disgusting no-call.

[BatManu20]

Watching the Lakers game right now. Richard Jefferson is absolutely terrible for the Warriors.. makes me wonder how we ever gave him that much money.

[justinandimcool]

put Matt in there to bring Cousins down by the neck. so annoying.

[ElNono]

I would just play Jack for 1 minute to sucker punch Cousins AND give him the flu, tbh

[timvp]

Cousins about Duncan: "I'm going to bust his ass!"


Dumb ass Cousins :lmao

[CitizenDwayne]

Cousins is a charming lad.

[DapDaGenius]

So 2 offensive fouls from Cousins and no calls at all? Refs fuckin' up

[timvp]

P:lolrker

[justinandimcool]

Tony still drunk

[Arcadian]

Cousins can suck a dick. Tim just blocked your shot twice bitch, so STFU.

[SpursRock20]

What's Cousins' beef with Duncan?

[justinandimcool]

Kawhi around the rim :lol :lol :lol

[DapDaGenius]

Counsins is getting on my damn nerves, he is reminding me of Lebron right now....actin' like a lil' ole baby back bitch

[timvp]

:lmao C:lolusins :lmao

[justinandimcool]

Kawhi on the break :lol :lol

Cousins :lol

[naico]

TD just a STUD on D now!

[ElNono]

Did Tim throw an elbow towards Cousins? :lol

Did you guys see that?

[DPG21920]

Tim :lol :tu

[bklynspursfan]

Sacramento Queens.. bout time we got a call

[Libri]

Tim teaching Cousins some lessons.

[jestersmash]

I thought that was an offensive foul by Kawhi tbh :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Did Tim throw an elbow towards Cousins? :lol

Did you guys see that?

I caught that. He's annoyed with that psycho

[DPG21920]

Kawhi is a smooth athlete. That was a charge though.

[Kidd K]

Even the Kings announcers are shitting on the refs for blowing those two obvious offensive foul charges that Cousins commited and got away with.

That's got to be extremely demoralizing for a defender.

[ElNono]

Cousins mad :lol

[DapDaGenius]

Good job Leonard.

[NickiRasgo]

Mills! Nice Leonard.

[jestersmash]

I thought that was an offensive foul by Kawhi tbh :lol

On the fast break. Kings defender looked like he was out of the circle and was well established.

[timvp]

What's Cousins' beef with Duncan?

Cousins got excited after getting away with a pair of offensive fouls. Then thought he was unstoppable on the block even though he was 1-for-11 from the field prior to those two baskets :lol

[timvp]

What's Cousins' beef with Duncan?

Cousins got excited after getting away with a pair of offensive fouls. Then thought he was unstoppable on the block even though he was 1-for-11 from the field prior to those two baskets :lol

[007nites]

timmy have like 10 blocks now?

[LakerHater]

Cousins pushed Tim!

[Kidd K]

I caught that. He's annoyed with that psycho

Duncan's completely shut him down though. Cousins is 3/12, but 2 of those 3 were on charges that weren't called. Duncan pretty much locks him down when the refs aren't being stupid.

[CitizenDwayne]

Cousins ready to explode

[SequSpur]

i don't have a problem with it...that's the way it should be...shit talking, trash, I don't give a crap...

[justinandimcool]

can we get TP/Manu to teach Kawhi a eurostep? dude is just garbage attacking the rim. Green is way better with half the talent/quickness

[DapDaGenius]

Lol @ the dude who just shouted foul.

[NickiRasgo]

lol Cousins acting like he was not rewarded by the refs. Supposedly two offensive fouls that wasn't called by the refs, stop bitching Cousins.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good job Kawhi

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

lol the kings are imploding and demarcus got away with a moving screen

[bklynspursfan]

This game is missing Jack severely

[JRHernandez88]

OMG TIMMY is on another level @ 36. He just keeps going...

[Quiet Strength]

I want to see Cousins get fouled out.. probably going to throw a tantrum

[Libri]

:downspin:

[timvp]

Another bad call by the refs. That was Kings ball, tbh.

[ElNono]

:lol kings

[ace3g]

diaw, timmy, timmy diaw, timmy!!!

[justinandimcool]

was that tim who yelled BOOM? :lol

[Kidd K]

Slam Duncan strikes again!

[Chris]

Big FUCK YOU to Demarcus Cousins :lol

[JRHernandez88]

Tim Duncan is taking the kid to school 4real!!!!! I'm a witness to that lmao

[NickiRasgo]

Timmy!

[DPG21920]

Such classic Tim and Sean just making things worse :lmao

"I"m not about to let these young guys off the hook. You want to talk trash..."

[jestersmash]

can we get TP/Manu to teach Kawhi a eurostep? dude is just garbage attacking the rim. Green is way better with half the talent/quickness

This sounds like a wonderful idea. Manu has one of the best eurosteps in the game so Kawhi would be in good company.

[SequSpur]

Another bad call by the refs. That was Kings ball, tbh.

when he threw it in, he was already standing on the line....

[timvp]

Tbh, Cousins would be a beast if he wasn't the equivalent of a giant eight-year-old.

[Uriel]

:lol They're playing Oppa Gangam Style in the arena

[DapDaGenius]

Timmy lets his game talk for him.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tim dunk!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Tbh, Sean Elliott must be really annoying for any opposing fan to listen to.

[LakerHater]

TIM DUNCAN DUNKED ON DeMarcusCOUSINS!!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Timmy taking it to lil bitch Cousins

[SpursRock20]

Haha! Timmay skying and yelling BOOM right in Cousins' face!!!

[naico]

Another bad call by the refs. That was Kings ball, tbh.

Looked like it stayed on Brooks' hand when he was trying to throw it against Kawhi on the replay.

[Kidd K]

Such classic Tim and Sean just making things worse :lmao

"I"m not about to let these young guys off the hook. You want to talk trash..."

What's he saying? I've been watching the King's feed.

[ElNono]

Ime Udoka as a Spur :lol

[jestersmash]

Tbh, Sean Elliott must be really annoying for any opposing fan to listen to.

Tbh I'd be pretty irritated with Sean's commentary if I was a fan of another team :lol. He's got to rank int he top 3 or top 5 as far as "homer" announcers go.

[LakerHater]

Those Thunder Jerseys are gross!

[DapDaGenius]

Tbh, Cousins would be a beast if he wasn't the equivalent of a giant eight-year-old.

Yup, his attitude and mentality are trash.

[spectator]

tim duncan - mvp of the game; thank you big guy
