Game Thread: Spurs vs. Warriors - Jan. 18

[Arcadian]

I predict that the rim change will have a psychological effect on the players, and both teams will shoot terribly for the rest of the game.

[loveforthegame]

Green keeps leaving Thompson. The hell??

[LakerHater]

C'Mon _anny!!

[Boomersgold]

Pop's had enough of Kawhi

[TDMVPDPOY]

kl already doghouse? lol should ask for a trade....he be better off on a another team

[ChumpDumper]

My guess would be that Brent Barry may have criticized the Spurs broadcast or the Spurs on NBATV.I think I heard Sean saying he would prefer to hear Barry.

My money is on Isiah Thomas.

[Russo21]

George Hill is having a great season in Indy, just sayin Kawhi

[LakerHater]

Think Kawhi might've jus entered Coach Pop's dog house!!

[TDMVPDPOY]

haha jax

[ace3g]

Icy/Hot in hot mode

[loveforthegame]

Green big shot!!

[DapDaGenius]

Nice shot Danny and the offensive foul on GW.

[AztecSpur]

Is it just me or does KL's shot look like he's pushing it out from his face instead of above his head like a normal shot would be?

[Cry Havoc]

Spurs are #3 in the NBA in FT shooting. Unreal.

[Cry Havoc]

JAX ZOMG

[ace3g]

nice move Jack!!!

[bklynspursfan]

Jack with a great move

[Boomersgold]

Jackson with the Pete Maravich ball fake!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

was that rondo or was that stephen jackson

[Russo21]

Spurs are #3 in the NBA in FT shooting. Unreal.

For real? That's unheard of for San Antonio.

[ace3g]

damn hope Parker is ok, tough fall

[Darius McCrary]

Spurs are #3 in the NBA in FT shooting. Unreal.

#jinx

[Cry Havoc]

Wow, Lee with an OBVIOUS fucking travel. Come on refs do your fucking jobs. That would have been a turnover at the fucking YMCA.

[TE]

:lol how can you miss that travel?

[LakerHater]

WoooooooooW!

[Brunodf]

:wow

[bklynspursfan]

Travel... Obvious

[Bill_Brasky]

Damn that sucks.

[Spurs Brazil]

damn, we can't hold the lead for more than 1 minute

[timvp]

Travel. WTF refs watching?

[TDMVPDPOY]

i dont like splitter with the hot hand playing with the shitty starters who have stop running plays to him......

[LakerHater]

Did Jax get T'd up??

[ChumpDumper]

lol mics are muted during the breaks now

[DapDaGenius]

Jackson should do moves like that more often.

I'm blue...lol

[Darius McCrary]

No way in hades does that call go unnoticed in la or okc

[ace3g]

Andrew A. McNeill ‏@drew_48moh (https://twitter.com/drew_48moh) Gary Neal's right ankle is pretty heavily wrapped right now on the bench.

[007nites]

Jack!

[Cry Havoc]

Jackson is turning back the clock. :wow

[Boomersgold]

Has Jackson been having lessons from Hakeem?

[ace3g]

Popeye Splitter!!!

[007nites]

Everyone posting tonight

[Cry Havoc]

Tiago is rapidly becoming one of the best big men in the NBA. He's scary.

[bklynspursfan]

Master Splitter

[loveforthegame]

Jackson with some nice moves.

Splitter still beasting.

[DapDaGenius]

Splitter is killin' it.

[Cry Havoc]

Tiago on pace for a Duncan like 22 and 10. :wow :wow :wow

[Cry Havoc]

Ball.

:lol

Don't.

:lol

Lie.

:lol

[Budkin]

Warriors tired of hearing about 27 game losing streak in SA

[Cry Havoc]

Come on Jax, don't reach in like that. Tiago can handle Lee.

[TDMVPDPOY]

diaw vs lee

[LakerHater]

Ouch...!!!

[Cry Havoc]

Ow. I've sprained my ankle four times. That's incredibly painful.

[Boomersgold]

ouch...

[TE]

No contact whatsoever

[Chinook]

Green's got a Bowen foot-slip down.

[Cry Havoc]

Oh god, shades of Dirk in 06 on that foul. :depressed

[Cry Havoc]

Green's got a Bowen foot-slip down.

Uh... no. Lee was running forward.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Ow. I've sprained my ankle four times. That's incredibly painful.

u knwo when ur about to sprain, u jump straight away just avoid twisting it any further...had a habbit of doing that

[DapDaGenius]

Phantom fouls...tehehehe

[LakerHater]

& 1!

[007nites]

TP going for 3

[Captivus]

i cant even watch those replays...

[loveforthegame]

Parker finally gets a call.

[Chinook]

Uh... no. Lee was running forward.

It was just a joke.

[Cry Havoc]

u knwo when ur about to sprain, u jump straight away just avoid twisting it any further...had a habbit of doing that

I had the first KG shoes from And1. They should have called them ankle breakers. They had support but it ended right at your ankle bone and they felt like cardboard. Anytime your ankle moved laterally they would pop over the top of the shoe. Insta-sprain. Fucking painful.

[LakerHater]

damn, someone please!

[Cry Havoc]

Diaw getting away with 7 in the key. :lol

[ace3g]

Popeye the Splitter-man

[DapDaGenius]

Crazy movement. :lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

I had the first KG shoes from And1. They should have called them ankle breakers. They had support but it ended right at your ankle bone and they felt like cardboard. Anytime your ankle moved laterally they would pop over the top of the shoe. Insta-sprain. Fucking painful.

doesnt matter what shoes u play in, if its going to sprain on a awkward fall, it will sprained no matter what....

[Cry Havoc]

Finally we get the travel call. :lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

master splitter taking landry to the judo

[DapDaGenius]

Now look at Landry...lookin' like a lil ole bitch.

[timvp]

The energy has finally arrived. Now keep it up.

[Boomersgold]

Let's get Patty Mills on.

[Cry Havoc]

doesnt matter what shoes u play in, if its going to sprain on a awkward fall, it will sprained no matter what....

Nah man. I've been playing ball almost every day since I was 13. I've ONLY sprained my ankles in those shoes. 4 times in KGs, 0 in every other shoe I've ever worn. It's the shoe. I have hyperflexible joints, and any time my ankle rolls like Lee's just did I usually don't even feel any pain.

[timvp]

Diaw with the straight up Boudini move :lol

[Libri]

Why isn't the player who shall not be named not playing?

[007nites]

Tiago Splittah!

[Darius McCrary]

Spurs rhythm is pretty to watch. I'm going to miss this years version of splitter :(

[timvp]

Why isn't the player who shall not be named not playing?

He never plays.

[Boomersgold]

Why isn't the player who shall not be named not playing?

I think he's injured!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago playing great. I'd like to see TD on the court with the Mills/Neal combo

[Cry Havoc]

I think he's injured!

Nah, he's just missing.






His knees.

[TDMVPDPOY]

5 pt lead...now doing stupid shit as expected...nothing has change

[Darius McCrary]

I'm really digging this mejicana that took Crawford chick's place

[mystargtr34]

:lol ******

[Cry Havoc]

Dear god, we had 3 guys who were open and no one wanted to shoot.

[007nites]

Diaw you fuck. lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

diaw the idiot, shoot it

[loveforthegame]

Shoot the damn ball!!

[Bill_Brasky]

:cry classy, unselfish shot clock violation :cry

[Cry Havoc]

Jackson is bringing it tonight. If he can do that in the PO he needs to get a lot of playing time.

[TDMVPDPOY]

jax in hakeem mode apparently

[LakerHater]

Too unselfish!

[Cry Havoc]

:cry classy, unselfish shot clock violation :cry

:lol :lol :lol

Our offense is so fundamental and full of sharing. :lol :lol :lol

[RD2191]

jack with the vet move

[timvp]

Diaw is now squatting and leaning forward in order to pretend he's not wide open . . .

[Libri]

He never plays.

Unreal that Golden State is going to pay him $21 million.

[Boomersgold]

Danny Green for Tim Duncan? lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

i wonder if pop is going to play KL in the 4th quarter...lol

[Cry Havoc]

Trade Blair for Jarret Jack plz.

[Captivus]

Diaw doesnt shoot!
Its like watching Tom Cruise after the Nascar accident!

[Cry Havoc]

What the hell, how is that not a foul.

[Cry Havoc]

Man, I thought Jax was going to drill that.

[loveforthegame]

Terrible!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Trade Blair for Jarret Jack plz.

Hell yes. Send them Grizz and one of our backup PGs.

Jax is really finding his game again the past few games - great to see! :)

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol the other australian towel waving fagot on the warriors

[timvp]

Spurs let the Warriors right back in it, per par.

[Brunodf]

Wtf?????????????We should be up by 12, now just 5

[mystargtr34]

Danny Green needs to be smarter..

[Boomersgold]

lol the other australian towel waving fagot on the warriors

Are you really Australian, buddy? Just curious as to why you have an Australian flag under your name.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:cry classy, unselfish shot clock violation :cry

:lmao

Yeah, and nothing but the bottom of the net from Jax after the whistle! :oops

[Spurs Brazil]

damn

[Cry Havoc]

Pop should play the bench most of the 4th quarter to send a fucking message.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Usually we end the 2nd Q poorly, not the 3rd. Disappointing there.

[DapDaGenius]

Unreal that Golden State is going to pay him $21 million.

I'm disgusted by that...gross.

[timvp]

I'm impressed with this Warriors team. They play hard and they are well coached.

[Boomersgold]

De Colo sighting....

[Cry Havoc]

Remember when we had Bowen, Horry, etc, and could close quarters? :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Pop should play the bench most of the 4th quarter to send a fucking message.

They certainly outplayed the starters in the 3rd Q.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Pop should play the bench most of the 4th quarter to send a fucking message.

They certainly outplayed the starters in the 3rd Q.

[Cry Havoc]

Tim Duncan with a sweeeeeet shot.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol KL back in the game to be a passive bitch on the court

[timvp]

De Colo leapfrogs back over Mills?

(No pun intended)

[midnightpulp]

Too much to ask from these bums to close out a quarter?

[Cry Havoc]

They certainly outplayed the starters in the 3rd Q.

As if on cue,NDC in.

[Cry Havoc]

De Colo making plays instantly. Needs more burn, Pop.

[FromWayDowntown]

KL sense of urgency must be packed in his bags for Atlanta.

[Boomersgold]

De Colo leapfrogs back over Mills?

(No pun intended)

Don't think so. Pop's still unsure of who to give the backup minutes to (While Manu's out).

[DapDaGenius]

Is Jarrett Jack related to Gary Neal?

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol neal with the dive

[Cry Havoc]

:lol that possession.

[loveforthegame]

This offense.

[Cry Havoc]

Jack, you suck. Come play for the Spurs. :lol

[loveforthegame]

Jack killing it. Shit.

[Cry Havoc]

Beautiful play that time. Great rebound by Boooooooris.

[LakerHater]

OH SHIT Timmy!!

[Captivus]

Neal had time, no need to rush a shot.

[Cry Havoc]

Feed Duncan. Stop passing it around Tim.

[TDMVPDPOY]

4 missed shots for the quarter from neal only...fkn stop shooting kent

[midnightpulp]

Gary Neal fuckin' blows.

[Warlord23]

WTF are they running it through Neal for?

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

de colo doesnt know who he is guarding

[timvp]

Horrible defensive decision by De Colo there.

TP needs to return soon.

[loveforthegame]

Did the Spurs miss the memo that Thompson is a shooter??

[Brunodf]

Neal keeping GSW in the game. Bring Tony/Tiago back

[rasho8]

Gary Neal fucks it up every time he touches the ball.

[RD2191]

spurs got a fever and the only cure is more splitter

[Boomersgold]

"Pop just blew the lid off De Colo on that one"-Sean Elliott

[Darius McCrary]

Lol lineups like this is why it's fun being a spurs fan

[DapDaGenius]

Gary helping his brother Jarrett by fuckin' up

[Cry Havoc]

Jack with 3 fouls in one play and only the 3rd one got called. :throw

[rasho8]

Keep the ball away from Neal.

[TDMVPDPOY]

gary neal and kl taking turns warming that egg after laying an egg in the first half...

[Captivus]

If none of the backup PG starts getting minutes than this is going to happen in every game.
At some point Pop has to decide for one of them. The Spurs cant be in the POs without knowing who the backup PG is.

[Boomersgold]

Where's the play maker on the court?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Neal cold as ice and still never saw a look he didn't like. Get that late 3rd Q lineup back on, Jax and Parker specifically.

[TDMVPDPOY]

hahahaa that gary neal defense is non existent

[99 Problems]

Did/has Pop forgot Gary is still out there. Please Pop do something about that.

[Cry Havoc]

Someone tell me why our offense isn't going through Duncan.

[TE]

:lol finally, get Parker back in tbh

[Boomersgold]

If none of the backup PG starts getting minutes than this is going to happen in every game.

When Manu's healthy, it's usually Neal.

[loveforthegame]

Sloppy.

[rasho8]

Thank god TP returns.

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan is unguardable by ANYONE GS has. Fucking pound the ball inside.

[TVI]

Free Tiago!

[TDMVPDPOY]

Someone tell me why our offense isn't going through Duncan.

this team fkn sucks monkey dick every time someone has a hot hand, u dont see plays run through them again, but heroes chucking up shots...

splitter and duncan :(

[Cry Havoc]

There we go!

[TE]

This team is in DESPARATION for a legit back up pg.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jax was hot - why the fuck is he sitting for an ineffective Kawhi?

[rasho8]

Tiago has been freed, son!

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan again. Called that shit.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

yep they can't guard tim just keep feeding him tbh

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan scares the PISS out of GSW shooters. :lol

[TE]

And fucking one. Good god how does TD get so much disrespect tbh?

[loveforthegame]

Duncan beasting.

[Cry Havoc]

God damn Kawhi that was lazy D.

[DapDaGenius]

Awh c'mon Kawhi...:(

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan leading the way. What a shot.

[TE]

Fuck yeah!!

[rasho8]

Tim beasting

[Capt Bringdown]

I wonder what the shooting % is for for anyone not named Duncan, Parker or Splitter is tonight? Wouldn't be pretty, I suspect.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Kawhi is beasting on them boards

[Boomersgold]

I wonder what the shooting % is for for anyone not named Duncan, Parker or Splitter is tonight? Wouldn't be pretty, I suspect.

Gary Neal 3 of 12.

[Cry Havoc]

The last two shots the Warriors have threw up in Tim's grill have been so badly missed that they almost went out of bounds. #alterredshots

[siraulo23]

duncan basket shouldnt count

[Capt Bringdown]

TD & Splitter 18 for 27!

[scanry]

That FG might be overturned. Looks like he didn't beat the shot clock.

[TDMVPDPOY]

neal and green just being popup shooters....htf are both individually hoisting up more shots then KL ever gets per game....no wonder why ne never gets going with the limited touches in this shitty system

[Spurs Brazil]

Tim Duncan

[Cry Havoc]

That FG might be overturned. Looks like he didn't beat the shot clock.

They can't do that to my knowledge, they can only review 3s.

[TE]

That FG might be overturned. Looks like he didn't beat the shot clock.
It's really close

[Arcadian]

:lol I'm pretty sure that shot by Tim was late, but I'll take it.

[rasho8]

I wonder what the shooting % is for for anyone not named Duncan, Parker or Splitter is tonight? Wouldn't be pretty, I suspect.

Its 7 of 35

[Cry Havoc]

Wtf. We just got points taken away from us. Fuck that.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jax should be out there for Kawhi right now IMHO.

[TE]

Wtf. We just got points taken away from us. Fuck that.
:(

[Cry Havoc]

Jax should be out there for Kawhi right now IMHO.

Kawhi is crushing the boards though.

[loveforthegame]

That sucks.

[FromWayDowntown]

TD shot disallowed

[bklynspursfan]

Fair to assume tomorrow will be an L? lol.. Long game tonight, and a Hawks team trying to get back on the winning track at home.

[keywester]

Spurs bench a joke tonight...Pop making sure we will never have a back-up PG.

[Cry Havoc]

Tony Parker, shot. Of. The. Game.

[loveforthegame]

Parker clutch.

[TE]

Parker with hero shot goods

[Cry Havoc]

Tim getting some AIR on that rebound. :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Hard not to like the Warriors. Gonna be fun seeing them live on the 22nd against SAS.

[loveforthegame]

Wow. They finally called a travel.

[Brunodf]

Green was wide open...

[DapDaGenius]

That's right Thompson...get mad you little bitch

[Boomersgold]

Hard not to like the Warriors. Gonna be fun seeing them live on the 22nd against SAS.

They're a young team playing without 2 of their best players (Curry and Bogut). Not bad, tbh.

[milkyway21]

:tu Tiago Splitter.. he's legit

[LakerHater]

Tiago- 19 points (8-10 FG), 8 rebounds, 1 assist

Tim- 1 rebound away from double-double

[scanry]

Good game so far. Although we are getting more calls.

[FromWayDowntown]

These are not Nellie's Warriors. No gimmicks and a lot of smash mouth physicality.

[Cry Havoc]

That's right Thompson...get mad you little bitch

He's mad at himself tbh

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs bench a joke tonight...Pop making sure we will never have a back-up PG.

KL is a starter and he hasn't been able to find the basket in almost 25 minutes of PT. Unacceptable.

[Cry Havoc]

These are not Nellie's Warriors. No gimmicks and a lot of smash mouth physicality.

Still can't guard Tim though.

[Cry Havoc]

Green BLOWING UP the zone!

[rasho8]

Dagger

[loveforthegame]

Green!!

[Cry Havoc]

DAGGER from Green.

[rasho8]

Game. Too close but the home stand is worth it.

[Cry Havoc]

Tony twisting the knife.

[loveforthegame]

Warriors made them work for this win.

[siraulo23]

did td just play the whole 4th quarter?

[Boomersgold]

Tony Parker, a real Hero!

[Budkin]

FUCK YEAH TP!

[$pursDynasty]

and some on this site don't like Hero Ball, TP is my Hero!!!

[Budkin]

Damn them Warriors were tough! Seems like teams always play better when missing one of their best guys. It's odd.

[DesertSpur50]

The Warriors really needed RJ in this one, tbh

[Cry Havoc]

Damn them Warriors were tough! Seems like teams always play better when missing one of their best guys. It's odd.

They got character guys who wanna play. They bring it every night. The Bay Area is pumped to have them here.

[RD2191]

lmao spur50

[bklynspursfan]

did td just play the whole 4th quarter?

Yep. Foul trouble allowed him to lol

[Arcadian]

Nice win

[RD2191]

bigger question is how we gonna get jarret from them

[Spurs Brazil]

great win. Big game by Tiago/Timmy

[007nites]

The warriors allowed Tim and TP to stat pat in the the 4th.

[DapDaGenius]

Warriors made them work for this win.

Agreed. It was no where close to being as easy as people were hoping it would be. Warriors played far better than expected.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The real Spurs are back, doldrums left behind. Taking care of business. Nice. :tu

[Capt Bringdown]

All hail the Twin Towers! If Splitter can keep this up & Pop expands on the potential that having a player of Splitter's caliber playing alongside TD, the Spurs may indeed have a chance of moving the needle from previous years.

[007nites]

Pop managed Timmy's and Tiago's PT beautifully.

[Johnny RIngo]

They got character guys who wanna play. They bring it every night. The Bay Area is pumped to have them here.

Except against the Lakers

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:tu Tiago Splitter.. he's legit

Took you a while to get there! :lmao

[Brunodf]

Good win, didn't rely on 3s...

[Cry Havoc]

TIL the Warriors have a player named Festus.

http://www.tv-cowboys.com/images/Festus.jpg

[DapDaGenius]

23% with 3s....that is gonna have to improve next game.

[DapDaGenius]

TIL the Warriors have a player named Festus.

http://www.tv-cowboys.com/images/Festus.jpg

I remember seeing a Mock Draft that said we would pick up Festus. lol Would've been interesting if we did pick him. I wonder what names we would call him when he made mistakes?

[PingPong]

The Three "T" w/ 68 of 95 points (71.5%).
