Game Thread: Spurs @ Trail Blazers - Dec. 13 @ 9:30 PM CST

[spurspokesman]

Spurs pussied out not signing Blatche. He'd look like an all star compared to Diaw Blair and Boner
This

[$pursDynasty]

Duncan/Splitter are fine. It's the rest that sucks. Diaw's not really a big. Blair is garbage and getting worse every year. Bonner is Bonner. SA should have taken a chance at Blatche.
I just wish Splitter was more aggressive on offense, it is a shame that old man Timmy takes it to the hole more aggressively than Tiago.

[rasho8]

Dammit Neal.

[Kyl3]

NEED a stop

[Libri]

The invisible man guarding Aldridge. lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

LOL BATUM

[rasho8]

Splitter crush screen lol

[DatBoyGood]

BS shot hickson

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs can't defend or rebound right now

[Mugen]

:lol JJ Hickson with a running sky hook

[Juggity]

Spurs pussied out not signing Blatche. He'd look like an all star compared to Diaw Blair and Boner

Blatche did not want to play for the spurs.

[Two10Whitey]

Put in Bonner for some boards lolol.

[ace3g]

Aldridge and Hickson have hit about 3 of those running hooks tonight with hand in their face...

[TheSkeptic]

I just wish Splitter was more aggressive on offense, it is a shame that old man Timmy takes it to the hole more aggressively than Tiago.

I don't disagree with this assessment but that doesn't change the fact that Splitter's actually played tough this game.

[timtonymanu]

Yeah I know it's like 5 games in 7 nights, but if you get beat by guys like Babbitt and Pavlovic, you deserve to lose.

[Malik Hairston]

Wow, Hickson hook shot:lol..one of those nights..

This game has been lost by low IQ and careless turnovers, tbh..so many boneheaded mistakes..

[phxspurfan]

Portland playing playoff style right now. Spurs dead tired with only 80 something points

[TDfan2007]

Unreal how teams hit such flukey shots against us time and time again.

[Budkin]

Can't get a fucking stop! Kareem fucking Hickson!

[Splits]

5 players with 3 or more TOs

[Mugen]

Timmy needs to get thrown out and then Tiago has to go HAM to win this game.

[thunderup]

:lol spurs frontcourt making Hickson look legit!

[TDfan2007]

Spurs need a 3 in the worst way. Also, Timmy has nothing in the tank offensively.

[$pursDynasty]

hmmm sad that I am wishing we had a Hickson on our team, we don't need much just a big that is a monster on the boards and an intimidator on defense, is that too much to ask. Buford is a genius but why can't he find us that big, we don't even need on that can score the Spurs have enough points already on the roster. we need another quality big.

[Duncan2177]

Looks like the Blazers ate there wheaties this morning.

[Malik Hairston]

Duncan has no legs, as expected after last night..

Spurs need a 3 here..

[DatBoyGood]

GREEEENNN

[ace3g]

Green!!

[rasho8]

Got that 3

[icango]

nice play with a 3

[Juggity]

DeeGee with that pure shot

[capek]

Wow, nice Green! That's what I'm talking about!

Of course the team needs some stops!

And Duncan!!!

[ace3g]

great move by Timmy

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol pop pised with the no defense effort, lol defense

[Kyl3]

-.-

[ace3g]

50/50 balls killing us again...

[TDMVPDPOY]

cant even reb for shit

[Libri]

Craaaaaaaaaaaaap, lost the offensive board

[icango]

grab the ball

[Kyl3]

Done

[Budkin]

Christ!!

[DatBoyGood]

Of course.

[capek]

fuck my life

[Kyl3]

Dagger

[timtonymanu]

rofl Batum just finds a way to be a dick every time he faces us.

[ace3g]

tough when 2 of our 50/50 guys are out in Kawhi and SJAX

[$pursDynasty]

For all of my hating on Stern and the NBA for this schedule, isn't it better for a more mature team like the Spurs that this grueling part of the schedule appear at the beggining instead of at the end or in the middle? I know Stern isn't trying to do us any favors but he might have in spite of himself.

[TheSkeptic]

Game.

[Budkin]

Second chance fucking points!!!!

[Darius Bieber]

Lol 1 on 4 gets offensive rebound. All these scrubs making shots too.

[PingPong]

Green comes and hits a 3....

[rasho8]

Shitty defense

[Boomersgold]

Batum, a fadeaway, catch and shoot three pointer? Not bad....

[Brunodf]

Take your bigman out Pop, great move

[ElNono]

the BS shots keep on coming

[TDfan2007]

Batum has been doing that all year. He's been amazing in crunch time for the Blazers.

[LakerHater]

Fuck this Defense!

[TDMVPDPOY]

gino needs to be bench imo...dude is a scrub these days

[Mugen]

Subbing in Green got us a 3 but gave up 5 points (Lillard driving in a for a layup and that off reb for a Batum 3). Pop's gamble did not pay off

[Two10Whitey]

Well that sucked. This schedule is garbage.

[thunderup]

Batum with the clutch goods!

:)

[rasho8]

Jax would have punched him in the face.

[ElNono]

it was good D... there's nothing you can do there

[maverick1948]

Is this game over?

[Libri]

Jax would have punched him in the face.

and then tweeted

[HI-FI]

CoM needs to start doing prayers and shit for their savior.

[ElNono]

batum with the aint bout dis life goods

[rasho8]

Bad decision Tony.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol parker

[Bill_Brasky]

Defensive rebounding costs us again.

[Boomersgold]

Parker, wtf was that?

[Mugen]

:lol is Thunderfan really that worried about seeding in December?

[Budkin]

Silver lining. Tons of road games over with and Jax and Kawhi are coming back.

[Russo21]

I dont understand the early compacted schedule. Theres no need for it. Its like the league was still in lockout season mode when they did the schedule.

[Johnny RIngo]

Well, this back-to-back was a waste. Should have just rested our guys both games and said Fuck You to Stern.

[TDfan2007]

Heroball for the loss.

[PingPong]

Sometimes, Parker goes Westbrick...

:lol

[Juggity]

:lol thunderfan with the oklahoma-inbred bads

[Splits]

We always lose in Portland

[Brunodf]

Pop has been horrible in the past few games.

[InRareForm]

need another charge and then a clutch offensive play by manu again

[Richie]

Game over. Turnovers killed us 2 games in a row. Need to sort it out.

[Rito3d30]

damn I really miss Kawhi and Jax

[tim_duncan_fan]

Well Parker got to lead in scoring so at least he's happy.

Over-dribbling, no-point-guard-skills-having fuck.

[superjames1992]

Parker hero ball! Hehe.

This four guard lineup lost it with that offensive rebound earlier. Why is Neal even in there? He has been atrocious tonight.

[FromWayDowntown]

:lol is Thunderfan really that worried about seeding in December?

His team has played 14 of 22 games at home.

Spurs have played 15 of 24 on the road.

They'd better build a cushion now if being #1 is a big deal to them.

[timtonymanu]

We seriously need Jack and Leonard back. The training staff needs to step up and heal those guys quickly :lol.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Well Parker got to lead in scoring so at least he's happy.

Over-dribbling, no-point-guard-skills-having fuck.

[BatManu20]

Lol at the Spurs

[loveforthegame]

It amazes how stupid the Spurs can play at times. Especially when you know how brilliant they can be.

Really missing the mental and physical toughness of Leonard and Jackson.

Thank goodness we signed Anderson to sit on the bench too. :td

[rasho8]

That was it. Can't make a fucking shot.

[DatBoyGood]

good effort there.

[thunderup]

:lol thunderfan with the oklahoma-inbred bads
:lol diabetic spurfan with the butthurt bads

[HI-FI]

good to see Green's clutch gene is gone

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol green the fkn scrub

[icango]

damm so many looks

[Mugen]

:lol

[TheSkeptic]

Pop has been horrible in the past few games.

I'm hoping that works itself out when Jax/Kawhi get back.

[benstanfield]

we suck blow it up fire pop

[Richie]

Why no timeout to set up a play??????

[FromWayDowntown]

If anything is clear now it is that the Spurs SUCK!

[Splits]

Good effort, losing streak!

[Budkin]

Jesus Christ. 4 chances and nothing.

[Boomersgold]

Trade Blair and Bonner for Batum! :lol

[timtonymanu]

Oh and :lol all the fucking gnsf saying Boris Diaw > David Lee.

If this game indicated anything to me, it's that Diaw is a POS.

[Juggity]

:lol diabetic spurfan with the butthurt bads

:lol universally considered the worst poster on the NBA forum

[capek]

:lol poor Green. Defensive mistake to end the last game, and now two missed good looks tonight. Hope the kid doesn't take it too hard. Use it as a learning experience young buck.

[Russo21]

It's probably a good thing to lose some games leading up to the deadline. Make the front office realise what we are missing and what we need, and who who have that are a waste of a roster space. Winning games makes you blind to your weaknesses.

[HI-FI]

Diaw is gonna stay here because he's TP's butt buddy

[thunderup]

:lol Danny Green is such shit, good to see the Spurs relying on him.

We all know how that turned out in the WCF.

[FromWayDowntown]

Another night -- more confetti!

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf is with the streamers. celebration...hahah fkn pathetic

[benstanfield]

tbh

[PingPong]

Green is a good 3rd string player tbh...

[Mugen]

:lol thunderup= lakaluva

guess det e-mail didn't work bruh

[Flawless]

:lol Danny Green is such shit, good to see the Spurs relying on him.

We all know how that turned out in the WCF.He's had a few bad nights. Don't be so harsh.

[Boomersgold]

wtf is with the streamers. celebration...hahah fkn pathetic

They don't win very often...

[HI-FI]

tbh, this one didn't hurt as bad as Utah, just becuase their crowd is full of nutcases.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

neal and green sucked really badly.

[tim_duncan_fan]

This game needed more Duncan. I HATE our guards sometimes.

[Sean Cagney]

What a fucking joke, blew the game last night and lose tonight was a given loss IMO. If we win last night we get to sit some though, but noooo they blew that. Now the SPURS have Boston up next and OKC so good luck there.

[TDMVPDPOY]

fck pop taking splitter out of the game again, just like last game...fkn pathetic coach...when is change coming..

[Budkin]

Can't disagree with you there tonight.

[Bill_Brasky]

Ginobili flopped to the end :cry warrior :cry

[Boomersgold]

Gary Neal was nonexistent tonight for the second game in a row. I don't think playing him for long stretches of time when he's cold is a good move, Pop.

[thunderup]

:lol universally considered the worst poster on the NBA forum
:lol spurstalk butthurt about the Thunder success

Batum with the clutch goods!

:) thunderup with the faggot bads...

[phxspurfan]

MELTDOWN TIMEZ OMG

[timtonymanu]

rofl rakaruva being a frontrunning faggot like always

[PingPong]

Lillard is a hell of rookie. tbh PPG 18.4 RPG 3.20 APG 6.4 EFF + 16.86

[DAF86]

If there's anything good to get out of this game is that Duncan and Splitter can play great together.

[TheSkeptic]

fck pop taking splitter out of the game again, just like last game...fkn pathetic coach...when is change coming..

Ha ha. This game it was actually okay because Spurs needed some shooting. Though now I'm thinking that Pop needs to start Splitter since Diaw and Blair are slumping.

[HI-FI]

well least the grades will be entertaining. so much shit to spread around.

[BatManu20]

Anyone actually believe we can win a championship with this team? Even if we're healthy? Didn't think so. We'll be lucky to make it back to the WCF tbh.

Gary F** Neal 2 of 10 and 2 of 7 in 33 minutes, WHY?

[Budkin]

As painful as these close losses have been, remember that we've been playing a shutting of games and playing them without 2 of our best players.

[Budkin]

http://www.dailyrepublic.com/files/2012/06/7-Thunder-Color-34p-1024x635.jpg

:lmao CROFL even attempting to equate the two.

[HI-FI]

thunderup is only cocky because Stern makes that team untouchable with the refs. if Sonics choke again this year, he'll disappear like the bitch he is.

rofl this is why I hate SpursTalk after a loss.. The team is without Jack and Kawhi. They've played so many games and are exhausted. Granted, they may not win this year, but quit with the premature, jumping ship attitude.

[TheSkeptic]

Gary F** Neal 2 of 10 and 2 of 7 in 33 minutes, WHY?













Didn't say it was a good sub. Just that the rationale made sense.

I hate the losing streak as much as the next person but I think the Spurs are tired. We could be the Lakers tbh.

[TampaDude]

Oh, well...it will be good to get back home. When the fuck do we get KL and JAX back?

[thunderup]

:lmao CROFL even attempting to equate the two.
Hey I'm not arguing that the Thunder are a better franchise than the Spurs. Obviously 4>0

But,

We are currently better, and will be better for a long time.

[Darius Bieber]

Hey I'm not arguing that the Thunder are a better franchise than the Spurs. Obviously 4>0

Should be 4>1. Sonics won in 1979.

^ this

The Spurs have one of the best records in the NBA, and the best road record in the NBA, and have played the last month without two of their best players.

The Spurs will be right there come playoff time, don't worry.

The Lakers, on the other hand... :lol

[superjames1992]

Steve Stiffler played well tonight.

[thunderup]

Should be 4>1. Sonics won in 1979.
Neh I don't consider that part of our history, fwiw.

[Clipper Nation]

Should be 4>1. Sonics won in 1979.
Pretty sure the Sonics history legally stays in Seattle even though OKC stole their team...

I am not jumping shit and they are a very good team but they are not a title team anymore and I faced that years ago. I never thought they would win it all this year man. I still love and will root.

Spurs have more of those also!

[Richie]

If there's anything good to get out of this game is that Duncan and Splitter can play great together.

I thought we struggled a lot offensively with them both in, Parker couldn't get to the rim off the dribble

[LakerHater]

Neh I don't consider that part of our history, fwiw.
Why not, fLakers do it!

[Fuzzy Dunlop]

:lol Spurs

[Richie]

We clearly miss rebounding from the 3. If we had Kawhi he could have been in at the end, maybe we get that defensive board in the last 2 minutes and are only down 3

[Budkin]

Pretty sure the Sonics history legally stays in Seattle even though OKC stole their team...

Nope they got the trophy, the banners, and the retired jerseys. The only thing Seattle got to keep was the name and colors.

[Budkin]

:lol Spurs

CROFL random Bucks fan troll account with 2 posts.

[HI-FI]

damn, didn't know Seattle got dicked that bad. That's why I hate facing them, Stern has a vested interest in their growth after screwing over Seattle.

Apparently the trophy is "on loan" right now to a museum in Seattle.

[200 miles]

Ha ha. This game it was actually okay because Spurs needed some shooting. Though now I'm thinking that Pop needs to start Splitter since Diaw and Blair are slumping.

I thought you said the team needed a "more realistic strategy"

[TheSkeptic]

I thought you said the team needed a "more realistic strategy"

Okay! Okay! I was wrong.

I just figured Pop would avoid starting him and that Diaw/Blair/Bonner were our options.

[TampaDude]

65-17

#1 in West

:lobt2: #5

[99 Problems]

Spurs making Lillard look like Isaiah Thomas.


I gotta a feeling the kid might be Isaiah all on his own. That boy can play, but then again that's no secret.

[Clipper Nation]

damn, didn't know Seattle got dicked that bad.
...literally!


While Bennett said all the right things about keeping the Sonics in Seattle, a team executive dinner on September 9, 2006, tells you all you need to know about the man and his motives. On that fine evening, the Sonics management, all held over from the previous ownership regime, all Pacific Northwesters, gathered in Oklahoma to meet the new boss. Bennett made sure they were sent to a top restaurant, and picked up the bill. As the Seattle execs sat down, four plates of a deep fried appetizer were put on the table. After filling their mouths with the crispy goodness, one asked the waitress what this curious dish with a nutty flavor actually was. It was lamb testicles. Bennett laughed at their discomfort and the message was clear: the Sonics could eat his balls.
