Game Thread: Spurs @ Sixers - Jan. 21 @ 6 PM CST

[loveforthegame]

Leonard!!!

[SpursIndonesia]

The refs will play a part in the end, i suspect ......

[Raven]

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[capek]

There we go Kawhi! Finally someone gets it going!

[spurs1990]

I'm telling ya'll Sixers are who we thought they are.

[bklynspursfan]

Thank you Kawhi. Good shit

[NickiRasgo]

Kawhi!

[boutons_deux]

KL is, like Manu, a winner.

[Paranoid Pop]

KY is great, we just need to start Manu and we'll be fine.

[Jumi]

Nuff said!!!

[Juggity]

Leonard coming up huuuge

[Brunodf]

KAWHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SpursIndonesia]

Finally, Kawhi steps up !

[LakerHater]

Reggie Miller on Kawhi: " not know to be a great three point shooter!"

[Captivus]

KL is, like Manu, a winner.

Please be right!!

[Bill_Brasky]

Sixers can't close sons.

[RD2191]

kawhi has been garbage from 3 lately, good to see him knock it down

[Boomersgold]

LOL, nope. De Colo played serviceable minutes at PG, certainly better than Patty or Gary have played at the position lately.

Parker has sucked this quarter, anyways. How many turnovers and swiped shots is that for him now?

Not really. Neither Patty or De Colo have impressed me, tbh.

[Johnny RIngo]

The Knicks collapse was the worst this season.

This is a shitty Sixers team. Losing to them means jack...the Spurs didn't show up that's all.

Agreed. Even when we were leading tonight, we looked terrible(outside of Tim). We were just fortunate we were playing an awful team.

[Russo21]

Plz dont waste another stellar night from timmeh. go fucken spurs go

[CGD]

Kawhi's been the most consistent player all night. Awesome timing!

[Juggity]

Reggie Miller on Kawhi: " not know to be a great three point shooter!"

:lol shooting 3s is virtually all he did on offense during his rookie season

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Can you stop using the word "faggot", you homophobic fucks.

Defining homosexual as negative just shows how ignorant you are.

[Reck]

huh?

14-3 vs the east.

not sure what you're talking about. get your facts straight before you look idiotic.

oh wait, too late.

I was thinking in terms of collapsing.

But yeah I was way off on the win/losses %. But it sure feels like more than 3.

[freetiago]

Tim looks good stats wise when they pound the ball to him every play
but Timball isnt good enough to win games like the utah one

[TDfan2007]

Kawhi with some HUGE plays tonight. Loving his effort. Still can't believe the game is so close...

[LakerHater]

Oh SHIT Kawhi!! LOL!

[RD2191]

Can you stop using the word "faggot", you homophobic fucks.

Defining homosexual as negative just shows how ignorant you are.
yeah TIMYTONYMANU

[Spurs Brazil]

Tim DUncan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why is it that only one of our roleplayers comes with the fire ATM??? Three games ago it was Boris, last game it was Jax (IIRC), this game Kawhi. If they all came with the fire every night imagine how nasty this team would be!

[loveforthegame]

Timmy.

[Strategic]

Duncan says watch this one go in right here

[spurs1990]

Yeah Duncan is totally not an all-star this year.

[bbarry]

Kawhi hurt?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

yeah TIMYTONYMANU

STFU troll.

[Paranoid Pop]

kawhi has been garbage from 3 lately, good to see him knock it down

Good, better than the foolsgold % of Green and Bonner, basketball is about so much more than stupid 3pts shots.

[007nites]

close game

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN, Kawhi injured

[LakerHater]

Pop tellin Kawhi "Why"?

[capek]

Shit, did Kawhi get banged up on that pick? What happened there??

[loveforthegame]

Shit he's hurt.

[LakerHater]

Was a dumb foul!

[Kool Bob Love]

He had to get out.

[timtonymanu]

Can you stop using the word "faggot", you homophobic fucks.

Defining homosexual as negative just shows how ignorant you are.

Ruff, I don't even mean it in that sense.

Don't pull a roycrickside.

[Paranoid Pop]

Shit, did Kawhi get banged up on that pick? What happened there??

What the fuck, more Green at SF, better log out for a while...

[Bill_Brasky]

Kawhi hurt.....got crossed up badly by Turner.

[Strategic]

yup

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony THE CLUTCH

[TheSkeptic]

Kawhi's been the most consistent player all night. Awesome timing!

Not exactly. But he's definitely come up big.

[spurs1990]

CREAM rises to the TOP.

[capek]

Great D by Tiago!!

[LakerHater]

AWESOME, now get a bucket!!

[Strategic]

nice move Green

[LakerHater]

Get one Tiago!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ruff, I don't even mean it in that sense.

Don't pull a roycrickside.

It doesn't matter. You're still using the term derisively, which defines it in the negative. Find another term.

[Strategic]

Tiago with the crucial board

[024]

spurs making up for choking

[loveforthegame]

Big rebound by Splitter.

[Russo21]

Damn Tims stat line is impressive. Finish it off with a W

[bklynspursfan]

Please be ok Kawhi :(

[Raven]

everyone stepping up tbh

[JingleJangleJingle]

Kawhi hurt.....got crossed up badly by Turner.

i thought he ran into a hard screen?

[Captivus]

Tiago!! YEAH!

[Spurs Brazil]

I hope Kawhi is fine

[RD2191]

hope kawhis injury isnt serious

[Russo21]

hopefully just a stinger

[Strategic]

Pop must have been afraid that he would get sued for not letting Sixers make a game of it?

[Reck]

robdiaz2191 Where you at bitch? Licking them wounds eh?

[davemaniscool]

Reggie and Chuck are Philly lovers

[HI-FI]

son of a bitch, I hope Kawhi is alright. he is wincing though.

[Brunodf]

Some great switchs there

[shyne]

Is Duncan dragging his leg?

[Bill_Brasky]

Ughhhh I could have handled a loss but not a Leonard injury.....

[Raven]

timmy with a 40 eff game :wow

[Spurs Brazil]

Nando in????

[Reck]

Make these 2 ft and we're home free

[timtonymanu]

It doesn't matter. You're still using the term derisively, which defines it in the negative. Find another term.

Fair enough. You certainly don't need to claim I'm homophobic.

I'm certainly not the only posters who has used that word.

[Strategic]

Chuck liked Philly until daddy buck came calling

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck hopefully Leonard is ok.

[TheSkeptic]

spurs making up for choking

No they aren't. Blair and Bonner should be on the floor right now dribbling out a laugher.

[Russo21]

Damn Blair is lucky. Courtside seats to every Spurs game :O

[Spurs Brazil]

Trainer working on Kawhi knee?

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony clutch

[Strategic]

Damn Blair is lucky. Courtside seats to every Spurs game :O

yep and he doesn't have to pay for execise.

[Dr. Robert Lee]

HAHA! Charles Barkley just said HERO BALL!!! :lol

[SpursIndonesia]

Tony the clutch Parker goes in yet again ....

[davemaniscool]

weathered the storm. Philly prob hasn't shot that well all season. had to cool off at some point.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

timtonymanu, Macklemore explains it well in his song same love, particularly this passage:

If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me
Have you read the YouTube comments lately
"Man, that’s gay" gets dropped on the daily
We become so numb to what we’re saying
A culture founded from oppression
Yet we don’t have acceptance for ‘em
Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board
A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it
Gay is synonymous with the lesser
etc.

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/macklemore/samelove.html

You're better than that. :)

Try "pussy" instead. :lol

[HI-FI]

Trainer working on Kawhi knee?

yes, putting ice on it.

i was enjoying this game so much, seeing Kawhi take more responsibility, and to see him get hurt just fucking sucks.

[Captivus]

He said Hero Ball like it is his word! ha

[Johnny RIngo]

Duncan and Parker carried the team tonight. Hopefully, the rest of the team gets their head out of their ass. SA has an opportunity to make up some ground with the easy schedule coming up

[LakerHater]

Jus keep hittin your free throws Tony!!

[Juggity]

Barkley reading spurstalk.

Waiting for him to drop TOSB, GNSF, par/per

[Spurs Brazil]

Monroe_SA Kawhi Leonard being checked by trainer Will Sevening ... no word on what might be wrong with him; 21.3 sec. left it's SAS 86, PHI 83

[Dr. Robert Lee]

He said Hero Ball like it is his word! ha
And to think some on here say others are stupid for using the term. Is Charles Barkley stupid, then?

[RD2191]

she really isnt

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Chuck is right - up 7 the Sixers had this game if they slowed it down. Instead they gave up the momentum.

[NickiRasgo]

Tony should've throw the ball instead to Diaw.

[Cry Havoc]

:lol haters

[Spurs Brazil]

It looks like Kawhi left knee. Let's hope he just banged knees on that screen

[TheSkeptic]

I hope KL's alright.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard looks ok on the bench. Hopefully it's nothing.

[DesignatedT]

That was such a bonehead foul by Kawhi lol. Glad it doesn't look like it will matter though. He played a great game. Did he bang knees or something?

[RD2191]

woulda been a blowout if we were playing a decent team, oh well at least the spurs showed some heart

[spurs1990]

Style points would be nice.

But a win is a win is a win.

Monkeyball lost today which gives the Spurs the first to reach 33 wins.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

she really isnt

STFU troll.

And look, my oh my, the Spurs came back and have a 4pt lead.

You should really rethink your cliff-jumping.

[McGusto55]

Man..that Charlie sweets is fine as fuck......

[Raven]

woulda been a blowout if we were playing a decent team, oh well at least the spurs showed some heart

:lol butthurt :lol

[Strategic]

lakers getting ready for another nail in their pine box?

[RD2191]

damn why are most of you ladies crying?

[TDfan2007]

It doesn't matter. You're still using the term derisively, which defines it in the negative. Find another term.

:tu

[LakerHater]

Kawhi has a bandage on his knee!!

[Spurs Brazil]

76ers with a Spurs play

[RD2191]

honestly you guys are impressed with this win? tf outta here

[Floyd Pacquiao]

good thing I guess is Kawhi didn't have to go back to the locker room

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fair enough. You certainly don't need to claim I'm homophobic.

I'm certainly not the only posters who has used that word.

I didn't say anything about you or anyone else specifically, I asked people to stop using it in general. You certainly aren't the only one. But you might ask yourself why you use that term rather than the many other derisory terms available.

[JingleJangleJingle]

make one boris.

[Strategic]

a win is a win

[TheSkeptic]

STFU troll.

And look, my oh my, the Spurs came back and have a 4pt lead.

You should really rethink your cliff-jumping.

Or not.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Splitter just padding his stats.

[Reck]

This one was a close shaved.

[Spurs Brazil]

Timmy monster game 24pts 17rebs 5asts

[Raven]

honestly you guys are impressed with this win? tf outta here

(not sure why am i answering seriously :lol)

honestly yes, they say live by the 3 and die by the 3, and we just proved we are not that type of team.

[spurs1990]

33-12

10 game winning streak coming.

[NickiRasgo]

Spurs could have easily won this one instead a close game and costs us Kawhi. Hopefully Kawhi is fine. But a win is a win, nice effort by Kawhi.

[spurtech09]

Leonard looks ok on the bench. Hopefully it's nothing.
Amen brother

[Ice009]

Can you stop using the word "faggot", you homophobic fucks.

Defining homosexual as negative just shows how ignorant you are.

I use that word sometimes, but I mean it as "soft, weak". I've made an effort to stop using though. Used to say it quite often a few years ago. Hopefully I didn't say it much at work because I found out my old boss was gay after he left ;).

[spurs1990]

Nice to see lots of Spurs shirts in the stands btw.

[Reck]

woulda been a blowout if we were playing a decent team, oh well at least the spurs showed some heart

Changing your tune now faggot? Fuck outta here fairwhether fan.

[Jumi]

Ballgame!

[LakerHater]

Duncan with 24 pints and 17 rebounds. Parker added 20 and 10 assists.

[DapDaGenius]

Man..that Charlie sweets is fine as fuck......

Hell yeah

[timtonymanu]

:lol robdiaz
:lol hopping onto Ruff's back and still getting shot down

[Truckules]

Any update on Kawhi?

[spurs1990]

Didn't Barkley spit on a Sixers fan back in the 90s...revisionist history.

[RD2191]

lol all you ladies were crying and now you all are acting as if you knew the spurs were gonna won bahahahaha, and if you wanna call me faggot lets meet up and see who the faggot is? pussy

[Paranoid Pop]

The faggot debate reminds me of posters being butthurt about Neal being called Choo Choo, can it get any more PC...

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago 10pts 12 rebs

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and Tony +17

Bench missing Manu big time

[ace3g]

game really changed when Splitter came back in the line up

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I use that word sometimes, but I mean it as "soft, weak". I've made an effort to stop using though. Used to say it quite often a few years ago. Hopefully I didn't say it much at work because I found out my old boss was gay after he left ;).

I understand that people use it to mean soft or weak, but that's a sign of the way in which homosexuality has become connected with the negative in broader culture, as Macklemore says, "Gay is connected with the lesser".

And besides, not using pejorative terms like "faggot" encourages us all to become more creative in our use of derisive language! ;)

Try "pussy" instead. :lol

But if he uses "pussy," then he's deriding women in a sense by insinuating that they aren't brave, tough, good, etc. :downspin:

[Arcadian]

Nice win - the Spurs proved they won't collapse under pressure.

And now we watch the Laker fags get destroyed.

[aal04]

Close game.... meanwhile TD +/- +17.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Changing your tune now faggot? Fuck outta here fairwhether fan.

TROLL abusing TROLL. :lmao

Now if only you'd both fuck off we could have a better time here.

[TDfan2007]

:lol haters

People have every right to be upset tonight. Win or lose, giving up a 17 point lead to a team like the Sixers is embarrassing, with or without Manu.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

But if he uses "pussy," then he's deriding women in a sense by insinuating that they aren't brave, tough, good, etc. :downspin:

That's why I said it and loled. :rolleyes

Actually, pussy could be a reference to cats too as they are soft and weak, whereas faggot is never going to be a reference to a piece of wood unless it's 1760. :lol

Not a fan of the overly excessive use, and I do think that filters/censors force people to be more creative, but some people are just faggots, tbh.

[RD2191]

how dare you? all of us knew the spurs would win, haha

[DapDaGenius]

Now if only you'd both fuck off we could have a better time here.

LOL

But yeah what in the world happen with Kawhi?

[TDfan2007]

how dare you? all of us knew the spurs would win, haha

I wasn't defending you in that statement. You've been trolling hard all game. Get a life.

[BatManu20]

Random Q: Can anyone tell me how to add a GIF to my sig? It's not under "customize my profile" unless I'm reading it wrong and I have no idea where else it might be.

[HI-FI]

It looked like Kawhi's knee got banged or maybe sprained something from a collision. I really hope it's nothing serious, or nothing that a few games off can't heal. I hate injuries, but especially when a player is starting to become more of a force.

[timtonymanu]

I apologized if I offended anyone, tbh.

Doesn't change that robdiaz is a cliff-jumping loser though who secretly roots against the Spurs so he can claim he was right.

[RD2191]

I wasn't defending you in that statement. You've been trolling hard all game. Get a life.
obviously being sarcastic, and trolling? how? did i say anything that was not true?

dude, how is it living in your mothers basement? does she hook it up with hot pockets while you watch games?

[spurtech09]

any news on KL?

[timtonymanu]

Back to the game, good win. It was ugly. The bench sucked, but we got it.

Duncan was huge and Leonard showed some balls at the end. Hopefully nothing serious is wrong with Leonard.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This is such a spot-on rhyme, see it at ST and on sports boards in general:

"Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board
A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it"

I just think it's time we stopped being neanderthals and realised that homosexuality isn't negative (or positive for that matter), it's just a state of being. Negative stereotyping of homosexuality comes from ignorance, fear and hate, and shows a complete lack of class and intellect. We can be better people.

Here endeth the sermon. :lol

PS I'm an idealist in an utterly fucked up world. :/

[Boomersgold]

dude, how is it living in your mothers basement? does she hook it up with hot pockets while you watch games?

Living in your mother's basement with free hot pockets while you watch NBA games on her 55 inch LED tv? Doesn't sound bad to me. :lol

[timtonymanu]

dude, how is it living in your mothers basement? does she hook it up with hot pockets while you watch games?

LOL dont know what troll means.

Still feeling my fist up your ass from the other day huh? :lmao

[Ice009]

game really changed when Splitter came back in the line up

It's about time that he is finishing games though. Pop never used to let him finish games until this season. I don't recall him finishing any games previous seasons. Do you? Even this season, just recently, Pop has allowed him to finish games. I never understood why he never got to finish games, even games he was playing great, Pop would sub him out and not sub him back in after getting a rest.

[romsho]

It looks like Kawhi left knee. Let's hope he just banged knees on that screen

Went back and watched it a few times on replay...looked like his foot got caught behind Young's leg as Young attempted to screen. Didn't look terrible, but the fact that there was no contact with the knee a bit worrisome. Stayed on the bench, so that's a positive...

I highly doubt anyone is referring to a cat when they say "pussy," but okay. Either way, I agree that "faggot" has to be the most overused derisive term on ST. It's a hateful term that really has no place in civilized discussion, but it's easier for people to hide behind a keyboard and say it. The other side comes from people who aren't really homophobes, but still use the word due to lack of education/awareness.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

LOL dont know what troll means.

Still feeling my fist up your ass from the other day huh? :lmao

You define "troll".

I'm so intimidated by internet trolls who talk tough behind their keyboards... :rolleyes

Still, it was unnecessary. At least I can admit I was wrong unlike other posters on here. :lol

[Reck]

See y'all later, have a nice day... except the trolls.

LOL you sir are a running and gunning faggot.

You get into arguements here every night and then you do your hit and run and dissapear. Now that is trolling.

[ace3g]

76ers fans think Turner crossed up Kawhi on that play, lol

[BatManu20]

http://cinemagr.am/uploads/106746297.gif

Kawhi clearly tripped over the screeners foot. Also, how did you post that GIF? Have no clue how to.

[RD2191]

bull, next game you'll be back to using it.

At first glance it does look like he did since everything happened at the same time.

That...is having a life. One where winning meaningless arguments on a message board that go on and on isn't that important.

Guess I should have specified. I want to add a GIF to my profile/sig., but can't find it under "customize my profile."

I have pretty much cut it out now, but it might still come out on occasion. Interesting debate. I probably picked up the word from friends and the internet when I was younger, and starting using it that way. I am trying to learn new words and incorporate them instead. I even look up some of the words you and a few of the other posters here use to improve my vocabulary.

[Reck]

That...is having a life. One where winning meaningless arguments on a message board that go on and on isn't that important.

Not even remorely true.

He calls people such and such without backing his claim. That's weak.

If you're going to tell someone you're this or that, have something to back you up right? That's like me calling you a racist, or something you're clearly not. What do I based that on? Air? Dont think so.

I can't speak for all of the argument you guys have had, but I have to side with him on this one about the term "faggot."

I think you might be referring to the "holier than thou" fan approach by people like CryHavoc. If so, then I understand the frustration there.

[TheSkeptic]

It's about time that he is finishing games though. Pop never used to let him finish games until this season. I don't recall him finishing any games previous seasons. Do you? Even this season, just recently, Pop has allowed him to finish games. I never understood why he never got to finish games, even games he was playing great, Pop would sub him out and not sub him back in after getting a rest.

TDfan2007 and RuffinReadyOzStyle with the goods tbh.

Going back to the game, I think this was good coaching from Pop. After Splitter missed those shots, I thought it was a show of trust on Pop's part. But even then I think the bench will have to play more the way they did in the first half. Less perimeter shooting and more pick and rolls with Tiago. Taking the ball out of Neal's hands was a step in the right direction and while I liked Pop's strategy of getting Tiago the ball when the bench was under performing (though it didn't work this time), I think Pop needs to beat it into the guards. I'd rather take my chances on Tiago's pick and roll than have Neal/Green creating shots for themselves.

At least until Manu gets back (which should be soon).

No.

Just like i thought it wasn't. Thx. :)

Not even remorely true.

I called you a troll because it is self-evidently true. Everyone knows you're a troll, other people describe you as one, not just me.

You're also a cliff-jumper. When the Spurs are playing poorly you pretend you're a Knicks fan and give shit to our team, when playing well you're all over them. You've been running the same act for 3 years and we all know it.

Now I'm really done. Good night.

There was a shot Neal jacked up in the corner where I thought that he could have passed it off to Tiago instead. Neal is fucking horrible at times.

If Brent Barry wasn't so passive and had this kind of license to shoot, who knows how lethal he could have been on the Spurs. Brent was such a great passer too. He got screwed around by Pop too on defense. Neal has been horrible at times on defense, but doesn't get subbed the way Brent used to get subbed off, for just one mistake.

I hate that Pop is giving some players like Neal free reign and someone like Brent got shit on for one bad defensive play.

Oh really now? Who here besides you has called me a troll? I've been here since late 2008 and not once have I been called that. You would be the first.

Honestly, you just have a personal vendetta against me. It goes beyond this year. You have had it in for me for years. Whatever I did to you it still fresh in your mind. :lol

You must have me confused with someone else. I have never once said I was a Knicks fan. Ever. You're welcome to look through my post history to confirm.

Perhaps do your homework before you go gung ho on people here? Just a thought..

[timtonymanu]

Maybe the Spurs will push harder for Derrick Williams if Kawhi misses significant time.

[Reck]

Also I find it contradicting and rather on the funny side that I would switch from Spurs to the Knicks when things dont look good for either team.

I mean since I'm a Knicks fan why did I lose my shit when Spurs fucked up at home against them? And again when the Knicks won a few weeks ago?

Dont know about you pal but something's amiss with your theory.

I hear you. Especially since it's obvious that Neal can't be trusted to pick his spots wisely on the offensive end. If he'd been given this kind of free reign I don't think Brent jacks up shots and refuses to pass like Neal either. If Neal's going to be played as a gunner rather than a playmaker, then it's on Pop to sub him out when he's not making his shots. The bench has been in shambles lately and I think Pop and Neal are at least partially to blame.

ight who cares, just talking trash on the web, its not like anyone's opinion of you on here matters

[ace3g]

one of the twitter guys said they saw the trainers put a bandage on his knee/leg, maybe he got like a "carpet burn" but with his knee on the hardwood, so it was like a cut (blood) but the effects of banging your knee.

Just got home, what a game... I can confirm Kawhi was just a cut... Pop almost kills him when he fouled on purporse :lol

[ElNono]

Had a great time, met another Spurstalker, and got to briefly talk to Manu at the end of the game... best seats I ever had, tbh

Thanks to everybody with the good wishes... we indeed had a great time!

$700 for the two... pricey but worth it, tbh... only do this one or twice a year...

lol, thanks for the pic. that's cool scrah. i envy your seats but then i imagine you are far more successful than me, so good job. also thanks for giving us insider access to Kawhi injury, some of us (myself included) were worried.

Not really all that bad for two. You got yourself a deal there.

They were $300 for both last year... Philly is a great place for courtside seats... can't do that in Brooklyn or New York... got them at StubHub

Oh ok no wonder.

I was thinking what does seats would cost in a place like New York or Miami and all those high class teams.

you got up really slow, better start working on them squats bro

[therealtruth]

Tim's starting to put up stat lines from the championship years. I wonder if it helps playing next to another competent big.

It would help, psychologically, make him feel better IMO. He wouldn't feel that he has to do it all himself against the other team's bigs.

You were up for the three pointer he tried with 20 seconds to go after dribbling aimlessly for fifteen seconds. I'd have to say it's VASTLY overrated.

dem squats are so early 2000's, tbh...
