Game Thread: Spurs vs. Nuggets - Nov. 17, 2012 @ 7:30 PM CST

[ElNono]

Hard to play with this group... Tiago with the brick hands.. Patty is a shooting machine...

[Paranoid Pop]

OT: Manu looks like Pablo Garza

:lol

I'm watching both at the same time as well :lol.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago with 0 rebs last game and 0 rebs tonight. He's going on Bonner level. Pathetic

[Captivus]

I want to see Nando as PG not SG.

[DesignatedT]

Patty has been fucking atrocious tonight. So inconsistent from game 2 game.

[Kidd K]

Refs are really calling this one way right now. At least they properly called the goaltends I guess.

[timvp]

Manu with the fadeaway one handed bounce pass into the lane :facepalm

[DesertSpur50]

MANU tres!

[Juggity]

what a move and shot by Manu

[timvp]

Mills with some horrible damn shots this game.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol stifler

[ElNono]

time to bump another thread, tbh

[bklynspursfan]

They told splitter come on man get up or bonner is gonna check in

[Juggity]

"will manu ever score 20 points again?"

[timvp]

Emmanuel Ram Ginobili, tbh.

[DesertSpur50]

MANU with a 20 point game!

[bklynspursfan]

Manu with 20 :) guess he will score 20/ again

[timvp]

:lol Worrying about Manu :lol

[Obstructed_View]

It's called blocking out, fellas. I know there's a big lead, but there's plenty of time to give up that lead if the Knicks game is any indication.

[milkyway21]

so what's wrong with Neal? DNP?

[ElNono]

Time to bring back Tony and give up this lead, tbh

[Uriel]

Matt Bonner getting set to check in.

[timvp]

so what's wrong with Neal? DNP?

Lacerated pointer finger on right hand.




















Bonner coming in ......................

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago with terrible game

I said before and I'll say it again. Jax is our best big after TD

Tiago can't rebound

[CitizenDwayne]

Why exactly do the Nuggets suck so bad?

[jeebus]

goddammit. I was enjoying the game too

[Libri]

uh oh, saw Bonner get up

[milkyway21]

Lacerated pointer finger on right hand.




















Bonner coming in ......................

oh I see... thanks..

[Obstructed_View]

"I wonder what Corey Brewer's doing" :lol

[ElNono]

Hope Bonner misses everything

:prayingdog

[milkyway21]

"I wonder what Corey Brewer's doing" :lol

:tu to your sig..really like it

[bklynspursfan]

Wow Tiago lol

[ElNono]

Splitter with a solid move in garbage time

[Spurs Brazil]

Soft Towers in

[DesertSpur50]

Now Splitter is taking it seriously:lol

[HI-FI]

Bonner time:danceclub

[timvp]

Splitter goes right at McGee but passed it when he had Lawson on him.

Okay.

[Obstructed_View]

..tu to your sig..really like it

Thank you. Sad thing is, I made it like five years ago. There were a couple of years there where I just forgot about it. Didn't think the Spurs would contend before Duncan left.

[Kool Bob Love]

TIAGO....................................GOLDEN GOD

[Obstructed_View]

It's Splitter time. :lol

[ace3g]

do more of that Splitter

[Juggity]

Splitter dunking it home

[TDMVPDPOY]

stifler beasting ice t

[DesignatedT]

splitter

[ElNono]

Back to the elbow hook... smh

[TDMVPDPOY]

shit stifler just smash ice t face in hahahaha

[Libri]

Apparently, it takes 3 and a half quarters for Tiago to warm up.

[Obstructed_View]

Weak on the attempt, brutal on the follow up. Strange.

[NickiRasgo]

Master Splitter.

[DesertSpur50]

Bonner with a smart assist.

[timvp]

Did Bonner just fake a pass to Pop? :lol

[Obstructed_View]

I have no idea how De Colo kept his dribble on that. Wow.

[jeebus]

fuck you bonner. die in a grease fire

[Juggity]

Spurs can't miss tonight. All around good offensive play & rotations

[HI-FI]

awesome. Bonner shitting all over El Nono

[ElNono]

damn it :lol

[Manu-20]

LOL tiago taking the 4th seriously

[TIMMYD!]

Goddamn!

[DesertSpur50]

Bonner, you have got to be kidding me!?

[Obstructed_View]

Bonner is money in the 4th quarter when the Spurs are up or down by 20.

[Kool Bob Love]

Bonner shittin on ST.

[Uriel]

:cry Matt Bonner, I've missed you :cry

[Manufan909]

MASTER SPLITTAH!!!! Why'd he have to go up so weak once I finally posted that???:bang

[Obstructed_View]

Bonner shittin on ST.

Why, what did he do?

[Paranoid Pop]

Typical fools gold win, missed saying that tbh.

[NRHector]

Bonner shittin on ST.

is the regular season for god sake

[Juggity]

110 points with 5 and a half minutes left in the game :wow

[HI-FI]

love what I'm seeing from De Colo. seems more Manu than TP (thankfully)

[Warlord23]

This is Bonner time, blowout game with no pressure. Bet he makes a few more.

[ElNono]

actually, Bonner hitting shots when the Spurs are up 20+ is automatic, tbh

[DMC]

Bonner with the "on cue" meaningless 3.

[Kool Bob Love]

Bonner haters mad..

3 min Off Rebound 1-1 from 3.

Not bad.

[Captivus]

Nando with another quick pass. This guy looks smart and knows what to do before he gets the ball.

[milkyway21]

almost all have double figures in scoring...now 1 more for Diaw & SJax..this win is team effort.everybody contributed

[Obstructed_View]

Bonner haters mad..

3 min 1-1 from 3.

He's not starting, he's not in the rotation, and he's putting up three attempts while he's on the floor. I'm positively giddy.

[SpursIndonesia]

LOL, Bonner missed that one ...

[timvp]

De Colo in Nash mode.

No offense, tbh.

[HI-FI]

He's not starting, he's not in the rotation, and he's putting up three attempts while he's on the floor. I'm positively giddy.

exactly. I have no Bonner hate, he's just not used properly (as in, he's overused).

De Colo .... giving me hope in Kawhi's absence

[milkyway21]

mills ha ha..

[Obstructed_View]

I really like Nando. Totally thought he didn't have the defense or toughness to be in the NBA. No sign of that so far.

[DesertSpur50]

Patty finally passes and gets called for three seconds

[Kool Bob Love]

Its all jokes. chill guys. :lol

[jeebus]

so far so good. other players avoiding bonner like the plague.

[timvp]

Mills should play that type of defense when the Spurs aren't up by 30, fwiw.

[Obstructed_View]

Its all jokes. chill guys. :lol

:lol "Bonner one for one and a rebound in three minutes shittin on tha hatas". I really should have gotten the humor in that. Sorry.

[NRHector]

so far so good. other players avoiding bonner like the plague.

:lol that's wrong

[ace3g]

Nando finally scores

[Libri]

Hopefully that 3 is not enough to trigger Pop's infatuation for Ginger. *nervous*

[Kidd K]

I'm listening to the Denver announcers now to see how they're taking the loss, and their color announcer keeps saying stuff like, "no Spurs player thinks they have ever commited a foul". . .then they show a replay of them not fouling right after. Then their main announcer was crying about Jackson bitching about the ball going off the Nuggets, and he was like, "it's embarrassing that he's trying to politic the call when it clearly went off his own foot~". . .then they show the replay and it clearly went off the Nuggets. They bitched about 2 of the 3 goaltends. . .then they showed the replay and they were clearly goaltends. Then just now when Mills got knocked down they were crying about him flopping. . then they show the replay and he was clearly shoved down.

lol. They're wrong literally every time. At least their tv people have the audasity to show the replays and prove them wrong.

[milkyway21]

121 Spurs @ 58% FG this Nuggets team sucks

[jeebus]

Pop's getting a boner

[Kidd K]

Spurs playing crap defense still, but at least we know they can still occaisionally transform into the Spurs we've seen the last 2 years on offense.

[PingPong]

Javale McGee, the master of the goaltending blocks.

[jeebus]

and it's gone

[Libri]

*more nervous*

[Kidd K]

Denver Nuggets with the pathetic stat pad layup to hit 100 points.

[milkyway21]

Blair 19 pts :clap

[DMC]

Bonner sitting under the rim watching the layup drill from Denver. The Spurs could put Chip England in and he would be just as effective.

[ElNono]

We win!

[spurs1990]

Bonner just making his trade value go up tbh. I see another RJ-SJax theft approaching this season.

[milkyway21]

Hopefully that 3 is not enough to trigger Pop's infatuation for Ginger. *nervous* :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Fun game

You ever think of breaking your thoughts up into one statement at a time on these game threads? No one reads that long winded shit on a scrolling thread.

Don't read it then. Better yet, don't reply to it bitching about the post being a few sentences more than your brain is comfortable reading. Better yet, if you don't like reading so much, maybe you should stop visiting forums since most of what's done on them is reading.

[Boomersgold]

Splitter's good, but he's wildly inconsistent. One night, it might 10 points 7 rebounds, then the next he'll have 5 and 3.

Patty looked very inconsistent as well. When his shoot isn't falling, he doesn't do much else. I guess it's the same with Neal, so Pop could play whoever is 'feeling' it.

De Colo's a great passer! Unfortunately, he's also extremely slow and lacks the foot speed to defend quicker guards. His shooting is also rubbish.

Manu's back, folks! 20 points on 70% shooting? That's the Manu who'll bring us back to the Western conference finals!

I read the whole thing. Thread is only 12 pages not that hard to keep up with tbh.

[spurs1990]

Every player with 5 points or more.

Prime example: You make three different suggestions. Can't you just make one? Do you have to write an essay every time you post?

Three sentences isn't an essay. Prime example of what I mean by perhaps you shouldn't go to a forum if you hate reading that much.

[Boomersgold]

As long as they aren't written in 'net speak', a few sentences is fine in my opinion.

For real. We're on a forum, not twitter.

[PingPong]

Splitter just start to play after someone shits in his head. Again. He just plays hard when pissed.

[Manufan909]

I only saw the 2nd half, and I'm pretty sure Splitter had 2 blocks that weren't counted (I was watching the game low quality-style, but Bill Land backed me up on the block that led to the Faried dunk). Did anyone else notice that? And how long did Tiago's FT streak end up being? Just counting the last 2 games it was 6, which would be the equivalent of 25 in a row for last year's Manu.

Also, thank God that Manu's stroke seems to be back... everywhere but the charity stripe at least. Maybe his back really isn't bothering him anymore, and/or the rust is gone. Either way I'm glad to see Manu in vintage form.

Seconding someone I can't remember, I couldn't believe Nando kept his dribble bringing the ball up the court against pressure either. If he can produce in 10-15 min a game (5 pts 50% 3FG 3 ast 1 board/steal and no TOs in 17 min tonight) for the next 2 weeks while Kawhi is out that would be fantastic.

In my opinion, Nando's a great dribbler and a great passer. What keeps him out of the rotation is probably the fact that he's too slow to defend quicker NBA guards. His three point shooting isn't too pretty to watch either.

If his spot weren't currently being held by the defensive juggernauts known as Neal and Mills, I'd be inclined to agree.

Mills and Neal aren't great defenders. In fact, they're below average. At least they're able to stay in front of their man though, something that De Colo can't do.

[Obstructed_View]

That's a good point. How he matched up defensively was a question mark, since he's never shown to have quick feet on defense. I'd like to see him dumped into the pool to see if he can figure out how to float, though. I really don't know how much he's going to hurt them on defense, but I'm pretty sure he has a chance to really improve the quality of shots on the other end.

[benfti]

Mills should play that type of defense when the Spurs aren't up by 30, fwiw.

he is young mate, he will learn.

[lakerhaterade]

Thanks for the call up grand faggio. No I'm not
Yeah, figures.

[99 Problems]

he is young mate, he will learn.



Already learning. Only 1 TO and that was a 3 sec/v. Lookin after the rock well last couple of games. Thats detracting from his overall vision but as a backup just happy the rock is safe. Just needs to work on shot selection.

[Spurs Brazil]

Funny Pop interview

[Fireball]

Funny how Manu said that he does not know what "Swag" means ...

[TampaDude]
