Game Thread: Spurs @ Wizards - Nov. 26, 2012 @ 6 PM CST

[Manu-20]

I wonder if we we see that triple T lineup again with splitter,duncan, and diaw some other time in the future.

[JRHernandez88]

What happened? My link dropped.
Just a funny face @ pop

[AussieFanKurt]

Crawford shoots a lot, he must like having Mills on him, his D has been average

[TE]

I wonder if we we see that triple T lineup again with splitter,duncan, and diaw some other time in the future.
It's a compelling lineup tbh

[TheSkeptic]

Wow, I hope Blair is not hurt. Perhaps he is in line for big minutes next game? Makes no sense why he was not starting and then not playing.

I suppose Pop can afford to give him big minutes versus Orlando...but still. In any case I'm also hoping it's not an injury.

[Fireball]

When Kawhi is back I do not think we will see it that often ...

[Budkin]

Goddamn the Wiz are just atrocious.

[JRHernandez88]

Boris Gervin:rollin

[ace3g]

wow great passing!!!

[TE]

Goddamm

[Rito3d30]

Red Rocket just did the Mutombo move:lmao

[ElNono]

Ra'on De Colo padding up those assists, tbh

[Fireball]

Blair just flat out sucked ... Pop will give him another chance next game

[Cry Havoc]

Siiiiiiiiick

[Bill_Brasky]

Diaw/De Colo just ran the best Spurs fast break so far this season.

[ace3g]

alright Splitter, Triple Double time

[capek]

Ya Nando, that's what I'm talking about!!

[Trainwreck2100]

maybe today's the day i finally see DeColo make a point

[spurraider21]

Pop allowing Splitter to chase the triple double

[TE]

Matttty

[ElNono]

:wow Manu

[ace3g]

wow Manu!!!

[TE]

lmao manu

[Juggity]

Manu fake

[capek]

:rollin Manu trolling

[TE]

Splitters like "give me that shit"

[spurraider21]

Splitter ugly hook of the game

[JRHernandez88]

Lol I love Sean ****** as our commentator. dude gots jokes

[bbarry]

like 3 gif worthy plays in a row!

[howbouthemspurs]

Wizards commentators still talking about ginobili's awesome play in Toronto

[Juggity]

Splitter should go for the triple double. Nothing to lose

[Manu-20]

Lol splitter taking that rebound away you can tell he going for that triple double.

[Kool Bob Love]

CoM.

TBH.

[Trainwreck2100]

Splitter needs 3 assists and 1 board

[Spurs Brazil]

Clinic.

[Fireball]

that Manu fake was awesome ... Tiago wants the triple double, put Pop will pull him out now with such a big lead I guess

Wizards helping the Spurs in finding their passing rhythm of last season

[Manu-20]

Honstley this is the only game so far beside this one and the nuggets were the spurs offense was at the level of last year.

[ace3g]

Bonner with a quick release???

[JRHernandez88]

I missed the Manu fake :(

[Fireball]

Splitter needs 3 assists and 1 board

He has ten boards ... the way he ripped it from everybody he knew it

[sinok]

Tiago with 7/8 on free throws...
The sky's going to fall...

[Trainwreck2100]

3 assists

[justinandimcool]

poor JA must be bored as fuck

[capek]

A Joseph sighting!!

[Rito3d30]

man where are the replays of those fast breaks:bang

[spurraider21]

poor JA must be bored as fuck
:lol

[Libri]

Honstley this is the only game so far beside this one and the nuggets were the spurs offense was at the level of last year.

Playing against an 0-11 team helps.

[DPG21920]

Well, Tiago has shooters around him...

[Manu-20]

Nando is imporving he is actully shooting now and his passing is back to good.

[Captivus]

Neal, Mills and DeColo...

[spurraider21]

Bonner seems bored as hell out there

[ace3g]

JA time

[Warlord23]

This is the perfect game for Bonner to shoot 100% from 3

[Trainwreck2100]

and there he goes :(

[DPG21920]

There is Blair so no injury :wow. Guess Pop just benched him.

[justinandimcool]

JA gained weight :lol

[Kool Bob Love]

Pop played the hot hand.

Blair should get mins vs the magic.

[spurraider21]

Bonner hitting turnaround jumpers now. Wizards must be really bad.

[jimbo]

:cry no triple double :cry

[siraulo23]

wth, spurs shooting 60%

[JRHernandez88]

Matty B. with that Jordan looking jumper!!! Lmao

[carina_gino20]

:lol at garbage time Bonner.

[Trainwreck2100]

we'll see if somebody tells pop splitter is 3 assists away from the tripdoub in the timeout

[Fireball]

There is Blair so no injury :wow. Guess Pop just benched him.

and rightfully so ...

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner on fire :lol

[Fireball]

we'll see if somebody tells pop splitter is 3 assists away from the tripdoub in the timeout

nobody will dare as Pop is not interested in that kind of stuff

[urunobili]

Bonner being too effective :pctoss

[Libri]

Prediction: Massive adds of Tiago by fantasy team owners, followed by massive drops after the Miami game. lol

[Captivus]

De Colo with good passes, shame not all end up with assists

[Velo]

JA gained all of Blair's weight.

[Libri]

nobody will dare as Pop is not interested in that kind of stuff

I think Pop did that to Manu once or Tim. Can't remember.

[jiggy_55]

Danny greens consecutive 3 record about to end.

[spurraider21]

good. bonner airballed. maybe pop realizes this was a mirage. good hustle by blair though

[JRHernandez88]

I think Pop did that to Manu once or Tim. Can't remember.
I think it was Manu but Manu chose not to go 4 it

[spurraider21]

Danny greens consecutive 3 record about to end.
not due to lack of chances. he bricked 2 of them, both were wide open looks

[superjames1992]

good. bonner airballed. maybe pop realizes this was a mirage. good hustle by blair though
It's not a mirage. Bonner is one of the top three-point shooters in the NBA for quite some time. That is a fact.

Whether the other aspects of his game are up to par is up for debate, however.

[Russo21]

7 players in double digits, wow

[Libri]

I think it was Manu but Manu chose not to go 4 it

yup

[urunobili]

Seeing the big 3 rest and share a laughter in the bench.. priceless...

[elemento]

I think Pop followed my advice and slapped Splitter in the face before the game. He might have done it twice though. :lol

[BanditHiro]

are the wizards "starters" still playing?

[timvp]

Entertaining game :tu

Pretty much worked out perfectly considering the b2b.

[JRHernandez88]

yup
Classic Spurs move not giving a fk about personal achievements

[Russo21]

Seeing the big 3 rest and share a laughter in the bench.. priceless...

Just like the good old days :toast

[Manu-20]

Splitter can play like this every game it just a matter of him maning up and doing it he can play a huge role on this team I just wish he would go into drago mode like some say here every game spurs would be very hard to beat if he did.

[ace3g]

Nando!!

[Fireball]

Splitter can play like this every game it just a matter of him maning up and doing it he can play a huge role on this team I just wish he would go into drago mode like some say here every game spurs would be very hard to beat if he did.

right now he is doing it every second game ... so we move in the right direction

[Manu-20]

Nando 3

[capek]

Nando hits a shot that's not a game winner! :flag:

[Spurs Brazil]

Green streak end

[Brazil]

Nice to see De colo hitting a 3

[capek]

Green streak end

:depressed

[Fireball]

lets thank the Wiz announcers for the Spurs history lesson

[PingPong]

Meanwhile, Varejao leads the Cavs in points, rebounds and assists. And the Cavaliers are winning against Grizzles 47-42 in the first half.

[Juggity]

James Anderson still sucks

[Spurs Brazil]

lets thank the Wiz announcers for the Spurs history lesson

They're good. And they praise the Spurs every season

[maverick1948]

JA for 3!!!!

[justinandimcool]

JA hasn't improved at all, looks like he regressed too (I know he hasn't practiced, but still). As much as he underwhelmed I think he maxed out his talent on the Spurs


edit: then he makes a 3 :lol

[JRHernandez88]

Got daym that was a lot of black in the stands

[Captivus]

They're good. And they praise the Spurs every season

+1

[BanditHiro]

They're good. And they praise the Spurs every season

not like they can praise their own team.

[Fireball]

They're good. And they praise the Spurs every season

yup, but the Clippers announcers also always did that ... but once your team gets successful, announcers become annoying

[gambit1990]

we could use some of those washington spurs fans at the at&t center.

[Mugen]

i think CJ and JA both moved around better than last season where they both looked pretty sluggish to me. I'd be interested in them getting some mins. with the regular rotation to see what they got.

I really really hope Nando gets confidence in his shot and starts being respectable because that instantly solves the backup PG issue.

[Captivus]

OKC 64 - CHA 24 Halftime...

[scanry]

What was Don Newman thinking joining Washington?

[timvp]

What was Don Newman thinking joining Washington?

Probably that Wittman will get fired and he'll become the head coach before Christmas.

[timvp]

Splitter's line is ridumbsterologeious.

[ace3g]

2 consecutive 10+ pts scoring nights from Diaw

[024]

diaw and splitter feasting on the crappiest team in the league

[TheSkeptic]

2 consecutive 10+ pts scoring nights from Diaw

That's what I want to see. He adds a whole new dynamic when he's being aggressive. Maybe he needs more minutes as a SF...

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Great win for the Spurs! Splitter had a phenomenal double double again

[JRHernandez88]

OKC 64 - CHA 24 Halftime...:wow

[Dex]

Splitter 15 points (4-5 FG, 7-8 FT), 12 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks :wow

Best part of that line is the 7-8 FT. If he can keep this up, no more Hack-a-Splitter!

[howbouthemspurs]

I love the Wizards commentators! They stopped talking about the game halfway through the third and just licked the Spur's balls the rest of the way.

[spurs1990]

Manu's highlight

[Horry For 3!]

Splitter was 3 assists away from a triple-double :lol

[Splits]

Ton of Spurs fans behind the bench.

I was 4 rows behind the bench and there were nothing but Spurs fans in the first 10 rows of section 120. That said, DC is a transient town and most people who can afford tickets that low are not from here. So it's not really unique to the Spurs to outnumber Bullet fans.

[Josepatches_]

I love when Duncan/Splitter play together.

3 years later but it's better than never.

Was on section 118 near the Spurs player's entrance. Yes, mostly Spurs fans. Yes, dirt cheap prices.

can i watch archived footage of this? i'd like to see de colo's floor time and splitter's near T-D
thanks in advance

[scanry]

Don't think he has that in him. None of Pop's assistants have ever had a successful head coaching tenure. I think even Phil's assistants bombed as head coaches.

I was five rows behind the baseline, next to the Spurs tunnel. Got high fives from everybody!!!

[TampaDude]

Easy win...NEXT!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

You guys care to post your photos from the game on flickr? I don't think I've see a bigger outflow of Spurs fans at a road game like that.

I took a few pictures with my phone, but they didn't turn out very well. I don't think I was sitting still enough...
