Game Thread: Spurs vs. Knicks - Nov. 15, 2012 @ 7:30 PM CT

[DPG21920]

short on everything. damn it

[BanditHiro]

complete choke by tony

[spurraider21]

Kidd went from a guy who couldn't shoot worth a lick in his early ears to a guy that is nothing but a deadly spot up shooter later in his career. Wow

[TE]

Tony, chucking and missing FT's...

[superjames1992]

Tony is curling up into the fetal position right now. SMH!

[TDMVPDPOY]

tp goin kome is going to hurt the spurs doing what they were doing to get the lead

[DesertSpur50]

Timmy back in!!!

[Obstructed_View]

Kidd does one thing and we let him do it.

If you're going to just let me stand there with nobody nearby, I stand a halfway decent shot of making that basket.

[Manu-20]

WTF tony get your legs under you shot.

[timvp]

I wanted four minutes from Splitter. He gave seven :tu

[DPG21920]

FeltonP3

[ChumpDumper]

lol hatas

[BatManu20]

Felton getting layups way too easy

[Reck]

Stop going to Parker

[spurraider21]

Tim's gotta challenge that shot better

[SA210]

Defense, come on

[howbouthemspurs]

Finally Tim is back

[CitizenDwayne]

Come on guys, stop making Kidd and Felton look like all-stars.

[MI21]

We always fucking let Kidd shoot open 3's.

Have done since he got traded back to the Mavs a few years back.

[ace3g]

Manu tres!!!

[DesertSpur50]

What a bunch of BS!!!lol

[DPG21920]

No TO's from TP right :wow

[Libri]

Manuuuuu, great bounce

[Josepatches_]

Manuuu!

[BatManu20]

lol Manu

[Juggity]

helll yeah manu 3

[superjames1992]

LOL, that's how Manu gets his first three of the game. :lobt2:

[timvp]

Ginobili should thank that empty void in the sky for that roll.

[DAF86]

Damn, Manu's threes look bad even when they go in.

[SA210]

lol When Manu fakes, he has to make it :lol

[spurraider21]

Ginobili should thank that empty void in the sky for that roll.
hahaha well said

[capek]

lol! wow

[Obstructed_View]

Ginobili should thank that empty void in the sky for that roll.

9.9 tbh.

[Boomersgold]

Just saw the two threes by Kidd. How the hell did Tony lose his man? Kidd's the slowest player on the court...

[BanditHiro]

Manu never learns...

[TE]

Manu gives the three back

[jesterbobman]

I have no idea how that Manu shot went in.

[ElNono]

Tony gonna play defense tonight?

[BatManu20]

So much for that great D. Has disappeared down the stretch

[Darius McCrary]

Manu being Manu. Vintage Manu.

[SA210]

D Up, damn

[capek]

And Manu gave it right back :bang

[Kidd K]

Everyone here was saying the same thing.

At the time he was shit. This is a live thread. Shit will be posted while the game is ongoing.

Doesn't make it any less funny than someone else said it too.

[spurraider21]

Remember when Manu blocked a Paul to Chandler alley oop dunk? yeah

[superjames1992]

WTF, Manu? Why take that?

[Obstructed_View]

...and the Mavs force overtime.

[DesertSpur50]

WTF Parker?

[TE]

Wow

[Boomersgold]

Tony gonna play defense tonight?


He's getting destroyed by both Felton and Kidd, two the of slowest players in the league...

[ace3g]

come on Parker, Kawhi was open in the corner

[Splits]

Is Manu trying to lose the game by himself?

[BatManu20]

Goddamn we're choking

[ffadicted]

Jesus

[HI-FI]

TP going into ballhog mode per par

[superjames1992]

PLAY SOME D PARKER GOD DAMN IT.

[Kidd K]

Tony Parker needs to stop chucking tbh. Spurs need to play defense. . .Knicks are shooting like 80% in the last 3 minutes.

[Malik Hairston]

Parker and Ginobili have been atrocious in clutch time..

Parker is having difficulties containing one of the fattest guards in NBA history..

[spurraider21]

stop missing bunnies

[DPG21920]

TP just can't hit a damn shot. Everything is front rim. Every single shot. Keep being aggressive, but look to get the ball moving.

[naico]

Parker in the open court this year...No the usual TP

[Reck]

If Spurs lose this :lmao

[BanditHiro]

melt fucking down by tony

[Obstructed_View]

Fucking Tiago has to do everything...

[spurspokesman]

Parker went straight westbrook and let the knicks back in it

[ChumpDumper]

Parker needed to come out for a minute or two. Too late now.

[howbouthemspurs]

Put the bench back out

[Arcadian]

Why isn't Duncan involved in the offense??

PICK AND ROLL WITH TONY AND TIM, PLEASE.

[Manu-20]

Parker make these 2 FT and quit letting felton light you up.

[ElNono]

So we're clear the Spurs had a 12 point lead until Tony Parker walked in and let the Knicks come back

[TDMVPDPOY]

tony parker and ginoboli nothing as usual, hero ball and bad shot selection as usual

[Josepatches_]

Move the ball please

[TE]

When nothing is going, stop shooting the fucking ball TP. Playing like Westbrook out there damn.

[Pauleta14]

Good Timeout

TP and Manu are running out of gas...

[itzsoweezee]

how the hell does parker let raymond felton of all people abuse him like that?

[Uriel]

We're playing way too many close games. Our paltry point differential despite our sterling record cannot possibly bode well for our chances in the future.

[DAF86]

Manu's back mustn't be right. You can tell from the way he's shooting, leaning forward and still coming up short.

[superjames1992]

TP is 7-19. SMH!

[SA210]

Horrible D, bad decisions on O. Spurs hurting themselves. Need to score and make stops. Taking dumb shots wtf

[Boomersgold]

At least Manu's playing D. Tony's defense has been atrocious!

[Darius McCrary]

Too much bad play. We'll be lucky to pull this one out.

[ElNono]

We're playing way too many close games. Our paltry point differential despite our sterling record cannot possibly bode well for our chances in the future.

it wont

[DAF86]

Get Green for Manu, imho.

[Kidd K]

We're playing way too many close games. Our paltry point differential despite our sterling record cannot possibly bode well for our chances in the future.

Yeah for real. We need to clean it up pretty badly.

[spurraider21]

So we're clear the Spurs had a 12 point lead until Tony Parker walked in and let the Knicks come back
i was waiting for that comment from you. as somebody else put it "he went straight westbrook"

[Pauleta14]

and 11ast and no TO...

[TDMVPDPOY]

fck put stifler back in

[Boomersgold]

Felton 25 points o 18 shots. Parker 17 points on 19 shots. This isn't how Parker usually plays....

[TDfan2007]

Spurs seem to have forgotten that Timmy exists...

[Obstructed_View]

it wont

True, but I'd rather see W instead of L in the box score while the Spurs try to get everyone on the same page.

[DPG21920]

Keep being aggressive, TP. Take care of the ball - get it moving.

[superjames1992]

and 11ast and no TO...
Yes, point is he needs to stop shooting. We don't need a ball hog.

[spurraider21]

magnetic rims tbh

[BanditHiro]

spur killers in full force

[ace3g]

WTF was that TP

[TE]

Good god

[Josepatches_]

Parker WTF

[timvp]

Give it to TD, TBH.

[Obstructed_View]

magnetic rims tbh

About the tenth one of those.

[SA210]

STUPID

[superjames1992]

Manu, who was that pass even to?

[DPG21920]

Great, great offense by NY there. Wow

[Obstructed_View]

JR Parker.

[BatManu20]

Spurs choke job.

[HI-FI]

TP and Manu must have money riding on this game...shiat

[Libri]

cameo appearance by Turnobili :bang

[Budkin]

Wow what a shit fest.

[naico]

So what mob is Manu playing for tonight?

[Obstructed_View]

Manu Smith

[superjames1992]

Great offensive set.

[DAF86]

Get Manu the fuck out, he's just not right.

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker and Ginobili probably lost the game for us. Horrible fourth quarter for both of them

[TE]

Choke

[timvp]

Wow. What a collapse.

[Kidd K]

In the last 4 minutes, Knicks have been on a 50 points over 12 minutes pace. Spurs completely sucking on D'.

[TDMVPDPOY]

gino is a piece of shit, gtfo

[Manu-20]

Wow ginobili and parker lost us this game.

[capek]

wow, that's some poor play from the Spurs:(

[Reck]

What's new? Parker shitting the bed when it counts.

Spurs are pathetic

[Poolboy5623]

Omg get parker out of there! Is Neal in the dog house or is he "sick" tonight? This is a lousy 4th qtr..

[Budkin]

Wow we haven't had a choke this bad in a long ass time.

[024]

why are the spurs even passing the ball to manu?

[SA210]

shoulda kept the bench in

[Obstructed_View]

Put the scrubs back in, please.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

damn parker sh!ting the bed bad

[Darius McCrary]

Full onslaught of Spurs Starters Suckiness.

[Reck]

I'm done watching the Spurs.

Wow massive chuck.

[siraulo23]

damn it

[Budkin]

Game.

[Kidd K]

That's the dagger unless we hit like 3 threes.

[Libri]

:(

[BatManu20]

Yea we suck.

[TDfan2007]

THis is unbelievable.

[timtonymanu]

Knicks are fucking legit like I thought. Manu and Tony deserve to be shit on right now.

[DPG21920]

:lmao letting Kidd kill you. Melo an after thought and I would have bet the house that is a Spurs win.

[capek]

wow fuck

[Splits]

Manu owns this loss. Absolutely atrocious. Fuck

[ElNono]

thank you Tony for giving up this game with your BS hero ball and letting Felton go HAM on you

[HI-FI]

looks like Big 3 is now just Big 1. Parker's already in playoff mode

[Darius Bieber]

:lol Knicks suck. Spurs starters suck more.

[timvp]

Other than a few bouts with ballhoggingness, the Knicks have played great.

[Trainwreck2100]

Fuck you Parker

[Boomersgold]

I'm guessing the Spurs still have the flu.

[bklynspursfan]

LOL that's all i can do.

[Manu-20]

This game is on pop and mainley ginobili and parker.

[TDMVPDPOY]

tony parker sucking on purpose to show this is his team and will continue to suck if the bench outshines his production...fck this clown and the other clown in 20

[DPG21920]

It's not over tbh...Danny time.

[superjames1992]

We need THE RED ROCKET to come in and hit some treys.

[blackfire12]

wow wtf manu... costing us the game since he came in

[TE]

lol Parker and Manu choked the Spurs out of this game.


Parker in particular with pathetic atrocious decision making..

[Arcadian]

Duncan has 7 shot attempts. What the fuck is that? GET HIM THE BALL.

[naico]

Wow TP and Manu...You deserve to get jumped by Jack his goons tbh..Ruining a giant warrior like effort from Jackson

[Uriel]

Up to now, we've been incredibly lucky down the stretch. The law of averages are bound to catch up with us eventually.

[Capt Bringdown]

Time for the Manu apologists to do their thang.

[superjames1992]

Popsickle brings in Danny and then he leaves a shooter wide open. Nice.

[Spurs Brazil]

This is on Tony and Manu. Both of them were atrocious in the 4th.

[ElNono]

Raymon Felton season high 25 pts... thank you Tony

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker/Ginobili seem to have forgotten that Timmy exists...

fix'd. Those two have had the worst season of their careers while Duncan's clearly been the best player on the team and they're taking every damn shot

[HI-FI]

lol Pop pulled them, that's awesome

[Fireball]

Tony played excessive minutes with the bench feeding Tiago for his points ... after that he was totally gassed

[spurraider21]

:pctoss

[Poolboy5623]

So much for kawhi getting more looks...they seriously just push him into the corner and tell him to stay away, it seems. By the time he's ready to step up on offense the spurs will basically be the twolves

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Lol

[TE]

Pathetic

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol parker defense is bullshit

[Darius McCrary]

So Tiago's going to take away from this that no matter how well he scores he's still going to get benched :lol

[jestersmash]

Manu is such an offensive liability from 3. It's mind blowing.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs take a step back with this loss. So disappointed in them right now.

[BillMc]

Damn it

[Obstructed_View]

DOn't fucking play defense or anything.

[ElNono]

lol Tony still trying to find Felton

[Boomersgold]

Raymon Felton season high 25 pts... thank you Tony
Jason Kidd, 14 points on 5 of 8 shooting. Thank you Tony.

[HI-FI]

we deserve this shit. Pampered Parker with the goods.

[DAF86]

12 pts with half a quarter to go. Fuck everything.

[Budkin]

Pop is going to love this.

[KaiRMD1]

Wow, talk about just totally taking over. Knicks earned this win

[ElNono]

Manu is such an offensive liability from 3. It's mind blowing.

bullshit... Manu walked in when Tony already evaporated the lead

[BatManu20]

End the game on a 25-6 run, without Melo scoring at all. What a joke. Fuck you Spurs for making me stay up to watch this trash.

[Obstructed_View]

Why does it always feel like Splitter's being punished when he goes to the bench, even when he has the game of his life?

[Uriel]

GG Knicks.

[SA210]

Starter choke job. Had this game in the bag, and they blew it

[TDMVPDPOY]

look for gino or parker with another stupid shot

[superjames1992]

Parker: 7/20 FG
Duncan: 5/8 FG
Ginobili: 4/8 FG

Something is WRONG.

[Kidd K]

Tony Porker chucked us into a loss tonight. Thanks for putting on your Westbrook pants Tony.

[DPG21920]

Spurs are so dumb. What a panic play

[ace3g]

damn, should have ran something, panicked too much

[DAF86]

I'm so mad right now.

[timvp]

My brain just exploded after that sequence

[Johnny RIngo]

lol at a combined 26 million for those two pieces of shit

[TDMVPDPOY]

hahaha spurs hahaha

[HI-FI]

Kawhi, i love you man.

[SA210]

Pop an idiot for not recognizing to go back to the bench

[Kuestmaster]

This is on Manu for being fugly tonight and on Tony for being a completely ballhog on the 4th.

[Boomersgold]

Why does it always feel like Splitter's being punished when he goes to the bench, even when he has the game of his life?

The game of his life? The dude scores 10+ points on a regular basis. I don't see how a 13-point performance is the 'game of his life'..

[TDMVPDPOY]

duncan pulling a gasol

[jestersmash]

bullshit... Tony walked in when Tony already evaporated the lead

Manu's shooting 15.8% on 3 pointers and 35% from the field.

He's an offensive liability from 3.

He's an offensive liability period right now.

[Obstructed_View]

Okay, Kawhi needs to go on a date with pressure.

[Libri]

brick after brick, smh

[Budkin]

Wow the Spurs have no brains.

[Manu-20]

LMAO parker, ginobili chockng the game and timmy having to shoot that 3.

[AusSpur]

It was pretty obvious which players were working a which werent but Pop took them out and never put them back in!

[noles1983]

meh, we will see the losses start to roll in. This team is lucky TD is playing so well, it masks the disgusting play by everyone else.

[Josepatches_]

Loss is on Manu & Parker.

Horribles!

[blackfire12]

pop clearly doesn't give a fuck.... or anyone else, should have called a to

[ElNono]

This is on Manu for being fugly tonight and on Tony for being a completely ballhog on the 4th.

Manu shot 50% and was not on Felton... leave him out of it...

[ace3g]

they didn't even attempt to foul or anything after the Kawhi 3...

[Budkin]

Wait, they're not even going to try to foul??

[timtonymanu]

Oh now Tony passes the ball. Fucking ballhog.

[Obstructed_View]

The game of his life? The dude's scores 10+ points on a regular basis. I don't see how a 13-point performance is the 'game of his life'..

If you can think of a sequence like that since he's been a pro then kudos to you.

[KaiRMD1]

Congrats to the Knicks they did their thing

[HI-FI]

TP will probably get a B+

[Darius McCrary]

Glad I turned that crap off so I didn't see what has everyone so worked up. Pop has to grill Tiago even harder now, so he plays even better, and then he can bench him even more.

[Richie]

31-10 run to finish the 4th. Pathetic choke job tbh.

My computer creashed with 5 min to go up 10, what the fuck happened?

[superjames1992]

I'm so mad right now.
There's 82 games in this season and the real season doesn't start until April. Cheer up!

[TE]

Man, if that's not a choke I don't know what is.

[timvp]

ST meltdown mode, engaged
















tbh, that was a pretty depressing lost, tbh

[Kidd K]

Spurs gave up 25 points in the last 6 1/2 minutes.

Spurs gave Knicks an early christmas present tonight. Completely gave away the game.

[naico]

More like a cum from behind win tbh..smh

[ElNono]

Don't take anything away from the Knicks... they played great, tbh

[Darius McCrary]

Knicks have not won in San Antonio since like 2003. The Spurs should be ashamed of themselves.

[Libri]

Tiago's second half performance wasted.

[Obstructed_View]

Too bad they didn't get the win, but Pop will be happy to give them a reason not to feel good about themselves. Squeaking out a win the way they've been playing doesn't help much. THe Knicks did a good job.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Well its good to see that Splitter played well. We did a pretty shit job on defense after the subs went out though.

[spurs1990]

tbh Spurs have been playing every other night for several weeks.

Not worried.

[siraulo23]

spurs choked tbh

but they been lucky in close games so far this season

parkers been clutch until this game

:lmao ST

[DatBoyGood]

lol right after splitter left the game..and parker going westbrook mode

[DesignatedT]

Can't even comprehend what just happened. What a weird ass fucking game.

[jestersmash]

Manu shot 50% and was not on Felton... leave him out of it...

Manu also turned the ball over at a critical juncture that led to a 4 or 5 point swing. No shot attempt for us and the Knicks score on the other end.

[Manu-20]

I really dont know who to blame pop for being so stupid and not calling time out to get ginobili out and tell parker to start making some dam plays or just parker and ginobili for chocking us this game in the 4th just a terrible chocking job on the spurs part, guess the only postive out of this is Tiago seems to be playing better now.

[superjames1992]

Manu shot 4/8 tonight and looked good driving to the basket. Offensive liability my ass. Maybe he was against the Lakers, but not tonight.

It's not his fault Tony turned into a ball-hog in the fourth quarter.

[Darius McCrary]

I wouldn't mind a loss, but allowing Zombie Jason Kidd to shoot so many open 3's has made any hope I had that the Spurs were playing good defense totally disappear.

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs in meltdown/playoff mode tonight.

[HI-FI]

Don't take anything away from the Knicks... they played great, tbh

straight up. that coach deserves a lot for getting them to play this well. we deserved this shit, they wanted it harder and Tony the playoff atmosphere brought out the playoff version of TP

[ffadicted]

I think this will be the first :smchode: moment of the season for spurstalk lol

[Boomersgold]

[noles1983]

There's 82 games in this season and the real season doesn't start until April. Cheer up!

like they are going anywhere in the playoffs

[DPG21920]

I just can't believe that the Spurs neutered Melo, had a double digit fourth quarter lead and it was are youngest member of the big 3 that completely let the team down. That should be a win 99% of the time - especially at home. Just beyond disappointing.

[Darius Bieber]

The NBA is just letting the Knicks win and go unbeaten as part of their so called "Superstorm Sandy Relief Effort."

[jestersmash]

I wouldn't mind a loss, but allowing Zombie Jason Kidd to shoot so many open 3's has made any hope I had that the Spurs were playing good defense totally disappear.

To be fair I started the entire "offensive liability" discussion with manu being an offensive liability from 3. That holds for this game as well as overall so far.

[naico]

Note: Manu is second in TO per 48m

[Floyd Pacquiao]

tony and manu really shat the bed big time...so many open looks so many bricks...welp can't win them all on to the next

[SA210]

Thanks Tiago, they blew the lead lol

What a damn choke job

[twincam]

Fail #1, why in the hell would you keep firing three point attempts when you're not making them during the game?
Fail #2, why in the hell did Popovich bring the starters out when the bench produced the double digit lead?
Fail #3, why in the hell do you allow the opponent to continuously shoot three pointers, and allow them to make them?

[noles1983]

I hate Kidd, that fuck always scores on us no matter what team he is on. Fucking alien

[Darius Bieber]

All the starters should get D's or F's.

[superjames1992]

like they are going anywhere in the playoffs
The Spurs started the season 6-4 in 2002-2003.................

[tim_duncan_fan]

Fuck off, Tony Parker. Punk-ass.


Hate that guy.

[pjjrfan]

tony never passed the ball and Manu turned it over every chance he got

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Also its not too bad that we lost. Moral victories suck but if we kept winning while playing poorly it would hurt us more down the stretch.

[Boomersgold]

All the starters should get D's or F's.E

Except Duncan. He deserves something in the range of C+ to B for his efficient shooting night.

[noles1983]

The Spurs started the season 6-4 in 2002-2003.................

remind me the ages of the big 3 back then?
