Game Thread: Spurs @ Raptors - Nov. 25, 2012 @ 12 PM CST

[timvp]

Who's doing color on this TV broadcast?

Mostly nobody, tbh.

[Obstructed_View]

Sean Marks

Thanks. That was my guess, but never heard him speak before.

[ElNono]

rebound the mf ball!

[Obstructed_View]

Mostly nobody, tbh.

Nicely done.

[Juggity]

Manu

[TDMVPDPOY]

gino

[timvp]

Mills passing :lol

[ElNono]

lol patty

[spurraider21]

Manu off a jumpball? well thats new

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

they play dr dre songs whenever derozan has the ball

[Manu-20]

WTH was that patty

[ace3g]

Patty gives Rap a 4 pt swing

[Raven]

good enough... now let's take the game home.

[TDMVPDPOY]

fkn spurs makin derozan look like his worth his contract...fkn pathetic

lol pop concentrating on defense this season, i havnt seen shit

[jestersmash]

Manu going from TOSB in the first 2 quarters to All-NBA caliber in the 3rd. He just looked more confident with his choices.

[timvp]

New Rule: No no-look passes for Mills. Regular passes are difficult enough.




This is like a replay of last game in a lot of ways. Manu does nothing in first half. Second half has an And-1 binge to get going. Third quarter the Spurs sucked but came back to even up the quarter by the end. Mills replaces De Colo in second half. Etc.

Let's hope for similar ending.

[Manu-20]

Wonder if the spurs would be better off or worse if TJ hadn't got hurt and we had a real backup pg.

[spurraider21]

Wonder if the spurs would be better off or worse if TJ hadn't got hurt and we had a real backup pg.
Probably better. He could create more consistent offense than Mills/Neal/De Colo

although mills/neal definitely have more firepower, ford was more steady and got better dribble penetration. was also a better defender than either of these 2

[TDMVPDPOY]

mvp chants for derozan...canadians :(

[DPG21920]

MVP chants? Canadians are awful people.

[timvp]

Splitter rebounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[DPG21920]

Mills with a game changing hustle play?

[TDMVPDPOY]

nice patty

[DPG21920]

or not.

[Juggity]

Mills getting caught behind the screen...

[loveforthegame]

One step forward and five back.

[timvp]

WTF, they gave Mills a block on that.

Canadians don't know basketball, tbh.

[ElNono]

lol focus on defense... this team is awful defending... I get that Khawi would be on DeRozan now, but the rebounding situation with our soft bigs is alarming

[polandprzem]

wtf is this?

Absolutely bad performance by the spurs


No rebs at all! Defense. What defense?


Raps are more athletic takes advantage of it.
It's fricking 1st of b2b

[DPG21920]

I hope Blair is done for the day. Stay with Boris/Tiago/Tim only the rest of the way. If you can only muster a 20% FG night vs the worst defensive bigman/a rookie robot big man you should be done.

[timvp]

:pctoss

[TDMVPDPOY]

duncan needs to play, no point in saving his ass on games thats there for the takin

[DPG21920]

What happened to the Mills from last year that lit teams up and provided consistent positive sparks?

[ElNono]

Pop is retarded... you CANNOT not have one of the big 3 out there

[JRHernandez88]

Dam that 3 looked like money we lucked out

[timvp]

Big shot Mills. Dats what you do, mate.

[DPG21920]

Bonner coming back in.

[ElNono]

here comes Bonner :pctoss

[TDMVPDPOY]

why no fkn duncan yet, wtf is pop doing the clown

[spurraider21]

he's going to play Duncan the last 6 minutes of the game. doesn't want him to rack up too many minutes in the 1st of a back to back

[Ice009]

Sean Marks in a crap commentator.

[quentin_compson]

Neal attempting an alley-oop pass? Pop won't like that.

[timvp]

Bonner doesn't give up his body properly :td

[DPG21920]

Danny the 4th quarter shooter again. Bonner, with the Blair good efforts results not there goods.

[ace3g]

yeah it's like Bonner tried to block/charge that, choose 1, can't be both...

[spurraider21]

our color commentators suck. eliot is too much of a homer to enjoy and marks is pathetic. i hope after he retires jax becomes the color commentator and its uncensored

[DPG21920]

Gary not shooting is odd. But to me he gets a pass because today he focused on rebounding and defended their best player.

[ace3g]

Splitter draws foul, stops the clock, good

[spurraider21]

parker missed a teardrop. trade him

[Juggity]

If you need a rebound, Splitter isn't your man

[TDMVPDPOY]

neal once again with another stupid shot selection

[Trainwreck2100]

Parker with the hero ball bads

[TE]

What's going on? I haven't been able to watch today's game at all?

[TDMVPDPOY]

gary neal is fkn in hero mode now...fkn pathetic

[DPG21920]

Ugh, two starters for the Spurs (Gary and Blair) with 20% FG efforts or worse. Tough to win like that.

[Raven]

splitter is actually defending properly.. doesn't always go well but he's still doing what the book says..

[timvp]

Parker shooting a fast break layup is now hero ball. Wow.

[justinandimcool]

Bonner is officially the 8th inning setup guy now eh?

[timvp]

Davis traveled. Then gets bailout call.

[ElNono]

Tony traveled... but we'll take it

[polandprzem]

Davis traveled. Then gets bailout call.
exactly dammnit

[TDMVPDPOY]

splitter is the only rebounder out there

wtf is pop saving duncan for...fck the b2b game, this game is winnable and we should be goin for it

[spurraider21]

Davis traveled. Then gets bailout call.
getting the lebron treatment tbh

[Ice009]

Why play Bonner now? Where the fuck is Tim u retard coach?

[SpursRock20]

Put Duncan in

[JRHernandez88]

He undressed that boy

[TE]

Why are we down to the raptors?

[JRHernandez88]

No homo lmao

[DPG21920]

Take us home, TP. Also, Gary is grabbing boards from errr where

[Juggity]

Duncan comes in, Spurs go up

[spurraider21]

nice play by Tim. raptors are ice cold right now

[Raven]

and we have the leaaaad

[timvp]

Damn, Green, they needed that one.

[TDMVPDPOY]

fck its cold man, fkn real cold

[JRHernandez88]

Duncan comes in, Spurs go up

[Juggity]

Can't be mad DG for the miss. Dude is all over the glass

[spurraider21]

Damn, Green, they needed that one.
im sure someone is going to comment about "green playing hero ball" after that shot :lol

[ElNono]

I gather Bonner has the top +/- by now?

[BatManu20]

Just started watching the game. Someone tell me, have the Spurs been playing poorly or are the Raptos bringing it today?

[DPG21920]

Not that we all didn't know this but this team can be so good with Kawhi/Jack back. They solve so many problems that we see today and it's easy to forget that. Spurs should still be doing better because ultimately the big 3 are healthy, but almost all the major issues we see lately are due to Kawhi/Jack being out.

[timvp]

Gut out this ugliness.

L'go.

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn Green

[JRHernandez88]

Not that we all didn't know this but this team can be so good with Kawhi/Jack back. They solve so many problems that we see today and it's easy to forget that.

Truu

[DPG21920]

:lol Tim is so sick.

[timvp]

Robotinus with big shot.

Duncan responds.

[timvp]

Robotinus with big shot.

Duncan responds.

[JRHernandez88]

Timmy in beast mode

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

just need some consecutive stops.

[JRHernandez88]

Lucky shot

[Paranoid Pop]

They don't solve the front court issues unless Pop plays Jax at backup PF or something.

[DPG21920]

They don't solve the front court issues unless Pop plays Jax at backup PF or something.

Which he has been doing with postive results.

[ElNono]

Maun gonna get fined, tbh

[Raven]

They don't solve the front court issues unless Pop plays Jax at backup PF or something.

there are no frontcourt issues

[TDMVPDPOY]

get that fkn teletubby out...fkn hell

[timvp]

Got damn vRobot.

Diaw with late rotation. The bigs outside of TD have been horrible defensively today.

[DPG21920]

Val's had a pretty damn good rookie year. He looks robotic today, but I've watched quite a few Raptor games and he's normally a bit looser. He's got very good size, solid athlete, some decent touch and actually has some pretty good instincts on moving around offensively.

[Ice009]

wHAT A PATHETIC PERFORMANCE.

[ElNono]

bring back Amir Johnson, tbh

[timvp]

Val's had a pretty damn good rookie year. He looks robotic today, but I've watched quite a few Raptor games and he's normally a bit looser. He's got very good size, solid athlete, some decent touch and actually has some pretty good instincts on moving around offensively.

Solid prospect, tbh.

Still glad as hell the Spurs didn't trade TP for him. Hopefully that was just a rumor.

[AusSpur]

who are these commentators?

They are really bad!

[quentin_compson]

Would be an unnecessary loss today ...

[spurraider21]

what a pass by manu. green needs to hit that. wide open

[Raven]

Solid prospect, tbh.

Still glad as hell the Spurs didn't trade TP for him. Hopefully that was just a rumor.

he's still very young and careless but he could be the next great center..

[Malik Hairston]

Val's had a pretty damn good rookie year. He looks robotic today, but I've watched quite a few Raptor games and he's normally a bit looser. He's got very good size, solid athlete, some decent touch and actually has some pretty good instincts on moving around offensively.

His biggest problem is Duane Casey, tbh..inexplicably benches him frequently..

[ElNono]

how about we give it to timmy?

[ace3g]

Manu!!

[Trainwreck2100]

manu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

yes ginobili!

[Juggity]

manuuuuu

[DPG21920]

Solid prospect, tbh.

Still glad as hell the Spurs didn't trade TP for him. Hopefully that was just a rumor.

Ya, that trade would have been a net loss for sure. He's good, but not so good that he's worth giving up TP and championship hopes for. He seems like a more talented version of Biedrins which is solid, but not spectacular.

[timvp]

Manu with the "was he born with cue balls" goods.

[Raven]

MANUUUUUUUUUUU

[spurraider21]

He's manu ginobili

[timvp]

TD with the "hol' up i got dis" goods.

[Juggity]

Solid move by duncan!

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf he just walked pass him

[ElNono]

roboto with the illegal screen

[Raven]

woooow timmy

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

the raptors announcers whine so much oh my flying spaghetti monster

[DPG21920]

Wow, rough call there :lol

[Bill_Brasky]

Tim

[spurraider21]

domo aregato mr roboto

[Obstructed_View]

Finally called it.

[Raven]

very unlucky here manu

[ElNono]

manu with the heat check... back to tim, tbh

[timvp]

I'd prefer if Manu shot threes when he was actually squared up to the basket.

But he's Manu so gotta let Manu be Manu, tbh.

[polandprzem]

4-down !

Duncan says fuck you.So dominant thru

his career

[loveforthegame]

My nerves are shot.

[JRHernandez88]

Alright looking biatch in the background

[ElNono]

Tim telling Danny... "no dumb foul trying to block an impossible shot"

[JRHernandez88]

Good foul

[timvp]

Duncan doesn't get that call against a rookie? Ok.

[DPG21920]

Impressive by Val. Blocks Tim, runs the floor, gets to the line and sinks the first one

[DesignatedT]

Danny has to shoot that ball.

[ElNono]

get the rebound if he misses

[timvp]

Get this rebound if vRobot misses.












Splitter in for rebounding? :lol

[BatManu20]

Valenciunas has the flop down pretty good

[DPG21920]

Aight, rook.

[Bill_Brasky]

Raptors love losing on buzzer beaters :lol

[DesignatedT]

Manu takes this.

[ElNono]

My money is on Manu... but Tim can also take this

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf are we gettin our shit pushed back in by the laughin stock of the nba

[Juggity]

Get the ball to duncan, defense collapses around him, leaves green open

[polandprzem]

not a good game when you think about 4 games in 5 days

[Paranoid Pop]

edit mmisread the clock

[Malik Hairston]

Another great example of Danny Green's flaws..Duncan passes it out and Green has no ability to create a shot, thus passing it to a covered Tim at the top of the key with 4 left on the clock..

If he isn't spotting up, he's useless..

[DPG21920]

I have a feeling Pop wants to get Manu his chance to shine. TP's had his, Danny was trusted but Manu has not had that moment yet and he's been a little off this season. Pop goes to Manu.

[TDMVPDPOY]

green is going score this basket

[timvp]

Waste allllllllllllllllll the time.

No quick shots, Manu. No turnovers, TP.



Shoot with two seconds on the shot clock.

[ElNono]

time to beat these toronto fkn wankers

[timvp]

Waste allllllllllllllllll the time.

No quick shots, Manu. No turnovers, TP.



Shoot with two seconds on the shot clock.

[SpursRock20]

Spurs have had sooo many close games this year...

My money is on Parker for the game winner.

[ElNono]

Bonner? :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

Were screwed against wiz lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf is bonner in ?

[Obstructed_View]

Did I see Bonner on the floor?

[DPG21920]

TP you've gots to be joking son.

[bklynspursfan]

Ugh.

[BatManu20]

Wow..

[Bill_Brasky]

Wow...

[ElNono]

No Manu or Tim on the ball... bad call, Pop

[loveforthegame]

Terrible. :td

[timvp]

Well, at least they wasted time, tbh.

[TDMVPDPOY]

popobitch has no business eyeing the ref with that sort of bullshit lineup

[baseline bum]

Nono's gonna love that play :pctoss

[Manu-20]

wow what bs you think they would come up with something better than that.

[Obstructed_View]

If Parker's going to shoot that shot, I'm happy that he waits until there's no time on the clock. He goes too early far too often.

[ElNono]

Bustnami better not hit a circus bs shot now

[timvp]

No alleyoops.

[DPG21920]

Pop with the bad call bads. Wasting time is good, but get a good play to at least get a shot off.

[Obstructed_View]

wow what bs you think they would come up with something better than that.

Bonner hasn't been part of the rotation and he's on the floor. What makes you think there's any strategy involved in this?

[DPG21920]

:lol that play

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF?????

[CitizenDwayne]

hahahahaha bargnani is such a goober

[quentin_compson]

Very disappointing not to give Bonner the final shot ...

[ElNono]

I see a lot of playing time for Patty Mills and De Colo tomorrow

[Raven]

overtime... not cool.

[DesignatedT]

Pop scared Diaw wont shoot :lol

[jesterbobman]

Less than 0.3, only tips/single motion shots allowed.

[Obstructed_View]

The best coach in the NBA.

[eric365]

Overtime is not good when it's the first game of 4 games in 5 days

[DesignatedT]

The best coach in the NBA.

Agree.

[quentin_compson]

Interesting last play by the Raptors, lol.

[TDMVPDPOY]

imo should keep on runnin 4 down for duncan, make jonas stop him and create with the outlet pass....

[JRHernandez88]

Omg that move

[timvp]

Wow. I just looked at that last play call by Pop. If Bustnani doesn't foul TP/kick the ball, TD was wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide open for the game-winning dunk.

It was actually a damn good call because DeRozan refused to rotate off of Manu.

Good call Pop. Got unlucky with Bustnani falling into Parker.

[DPG21920]

Bargnani d'ing up Tim this OT?

[DPG21920]

Wow. I just looked at that last play call by Pop. If Bustnani doesn't foul TP/kick the ball, TD was wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide open for the game-winning dunk.

It was actually a damn good call because DeRozan refused to rotate off of Manu.

Good call Pop. Got unlucky with Bustnani falling into Parker.

I didn't see they called a foul? Bargnani blew up the last play to force OT and is defending Tim in OT?

[Juggity]

Finally a score

[JRHernandez88]

Beautiful reverse layup

[DPG21920]

Last 2 minutes rookie beasting Tim on both ends. Damn impressive for a rookie.

[Trainwreck2100]

WTF is Parker doing

[Raven]

diaw playing like a linebacker :lmao

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf hero shit

[Obstructed_View]

Hero Airball.

[Malik Hairston]

Can they go back to Duncan in the post on every play?..

[timvp]

DPG with his closet Raptors fan bads.

[Paranoid Pop]

Roboto is pretty good.

[CitizenDwayne]

Dammit Manu.

[ElNono]

Terminator with a season high 20 pts

[DPG21920]

DPG with his closet Raptors fan bads.

Or with the trolling fam subtle goods.

[ace3g]

great pass Diaw!!

[JRHernandez88]

Beautiful

[Juggity]

Dunc dunk

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

lol thanks for the call refs

[PingPong]

Valanciunas having a career high against SAS...

[Juggity]

Solid defense by DG, solid rebounding by Diaw

[DPG21920]

Stops. Get them.

[Obstructed_View]

That was great fucking defense.

[Raven]

great green

[Libri]

Diaw with strong rebound :tu

[TDMVPDPOY]

fck we arent even attemptin to off reb

[DPG21920]

Damn Lowry b-slapped Lowry.

[CitizenDwayne]

Bargnani...1-15...and we're in overtime.

[DPG21920]

Go to Tim.

[baseline bum]

Manu with the bads

[TDMVPDPOY]

fkn stop passin it to gino

[DPG21920]

OMG Danny, you have to improve your finishing.

[Trainwreck2100]

no threes

[TE]

Not watching the game but I'm following with the espn live thing, has Danny made a shot today? :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Wow....

[timvp]

omg.

[ElNono]

can't buy a call... Manu first, Danny now

[DesignatedT]

:lmao at the refs not calling that.

[Juggity]

game is intense

[Malik Hairston]

Why does this team neglect Duncan in crucial moments, tbh?..

[jeebus]

:lmao how many times per game is Danny blocked going for that pussy layup?

[ElNono]

Not Bustnami, please

[Obstructed_View]

Wow, swallowing the whistles.

[CitizenDwayne]

Refs with bad calls on both ends.

[DPG21920]

Why does this team neglect Duncan in crucial moments, tbh?..

With Bargnani on him..

[timvp]

Need stop. No threes.

[Obstructed_View]

:lmao how many times per game is Danny blocked going for that pussy layup?

Not sure, since the defender didn't touch the ball at all.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

lawl

[baseline bum]

Eat that Nono. gfy

[ace3g]

wow Lowry...

[Paranoid Pop]

Not Bustnami, please

He has to end up making one at some point tbh.

[Juggity]

WOW, great steal

[DPG21920]

TP with a huge steal! Lowry with a big answer

[Spurs Brazil]

Green choke after choke after choke after choke

[timvp]

TP trying to be a hero :cry

[Raven]

tooooooooooooony

[BatManu20]

[ElNono]

Eat that Nono. gfy

[TDMVPDPOY]

gino goin to choke these freebies

[CitizenDwayne]

Manu...please.

[Raven]

[DPG21920]

[DesignatedT]

Lowry has to be one of the most underrated clutch players

[ElNono]

Manu stat padding against Toronto... smh
