RRT Game 6 Thread: Spurs @ Kings - Feb. 19 @ 9 PM CST

[DatBoyGood]

Is cousins really jumping around??? lmao

[timtonymanu]

Man up, Cousins!

[Blizzardwizard]

Kings announcers defending Cousins :lol

[Floyd Pacquiao]

god dayum fuking freethrow parade all quarter

[TDfan2007]

That's a tough call on Cousins, tbh. Tony initiated every bit of that contact.

[BatManu20]

So many damn reach in fouls

[TDfan2007]

Foul fest...

[Cry Havoc]

They're hanging around. Ugh.

[PingPong]

DeCousins looked like a child complaining to his mom.

[Darius McCrary]

This game is really boring because of all the damn foul calls

[ElNono]

cue "in an empty gym i bet he makes them all"

[Cry Havoc]

:lol Hayes.

[BatManu20]

Poor decision by Tony

[TE]

Isiah Thomas is quickly becoming a huge scrub faggot tbh...

[TDfan2007]

Isiah Thomas is quickly becoming a huge scrub faggot tbh...

???

The kid can play. He's got attitude for sure, but nothing too terrible.

[ElNono]

tony is flopping like crazy

[Darius McCrary]

Bonner with good defense tonight, tbh

[Brunodf]

Poor decision by Tony

[Captivus]

cue "in an empty gym i bet he makes them all"

Maybe 19...20...

[ElNono]

lol hands up D

[Bill_Brasky]

Nice drive Tony

[Darius McCrary]

Damn, do the refs feel sorry for Kings fans or what. WTF are these calls

[TE]

???

The kid can play. He's got attitude for sure, but nothing too terrible.

:lol I know just hating tbh

[TE]

???

The kid can play. He's got attitude for sure, but nothing too terrible.

:lol I know just hating tbh

[BatManu20]

Good Lord I haven't seen this many fouls called in a game in a while

[ElNono]

Neal is such feast or famine

[Bill_Brasky]

Neal cold, Bonner getting posted up....lots of touch calls both ways.....

[timtonymanu]

Wow Neal has become full-on scrub. People complain about Jack's shot not falling, but he at least steps up in other aspects of the game. Neal is just completely useless right now.

[Bill_Brasky]

Shit calls on Bonner

[Floyd Pacquiao]

matt with his hands up defense per par

[TDfan2007]

Good Lord I haven't seen this many fouls called in a game in a while

The game has been physical, but since it's 2013 (not 1990) it turns into a foul fest

[BatManu20]

Get Bonner out please

[ElNono]

Shit calls on Bonner

but you know hes getting no respect from the refs... you cant play him when his shot is shit

[ace3g]

Patty

[Brunodf]

Best Post defense in the nba

[Captivus]

get him out...

[Cry Havoc]

Right now we have 37 fouls called so far in 35 minutes of play. That's unreal.

[ace3g]

Manu!!!

[timtonymanu]

Why isn't Bonner also a free agent this upcoming summer? UGH

[TDfan2007]

It would be nice if Manu did something tonight.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

beautiful travel

[ElNono]

injured manu with the nice drive! warrior :cry

[Cry Havoc]

Why isn't Bonner also a free agent this upcoming summer? UGH

What, you want him to be a FA so Pop can give him a raise? :hat

[capek]

There you go Mills! Glad to see him hit a shot. Decent D on the baseline too :tu

[Bill_Brasky]

:lol anyone else notice the Spurfan courtside standing and cheering after every bucket?

[TE]

Thomas with the call before play ends Durant-esque call tbh

[capek]

What, you want him to be a FA so Pop can give him a raise? :hat

Don't even joke about that! lol

[ElNono]

matty with the hesitation goods

[maverick1948]

Since when do you get 4 steps without a dribble? Evans has done it twice in the 3rd quarter.

[BatManu20]

:lol anyone else notice the Spurfan courtside standing and cheering after every bucket?

Ha yea he's getting amped after every bucket

[Cry Havoc]

36 minutes of play, 37 fouls. Over a foul per 60 seconds of game time.

[TE]

Jesus Christ, someone euthanize Bonner.

[Texas_Ranger]

bonner sucks

[TDfan2007]

Since when do you get 4 steps without a dribble? Evans has done it twice in the 3rd quarter.

Tony does it on damn near every drive...

[ElNono]

It would be nice if Manu did something tonight.

last two baskets = manu assist, manu score... now neal/bonner/splitter are kinda MIA

[BatManu20]

Please trade Bonner before Thursday. Please..

[crc21209]

:lol anyone else notice the Spurfan courtside standing and cheering after every bucket?

:lol I saw him. That guy's awesome :tu

[TDfan2007]

last two baskets = manu assist, manu score... now neal/bonner/splitter are kinda MIA

ha, yeah he definitely heard me. I've given up on Neal/Bonner tonight.

[Captivus]

Bonner kept the shoot button pressed a little to long...late release

[Brunodf]

:lolBonner

[BatManu20]

36 minutes of play, 37 fouls. Over a foul per 60 seconds of game time.

The refs have been extremely tight with the whistle tonight. It slows the pace of the game so much. We're not doing ourselves any favors with the 15 turnovers either.

[bklynspursfan]

33 points given up that quarter. Pathetic... Turnovers are a killer, and hopefully the refs will stop calling some of the nonsense they have been. Gotta let some stuff go

[weeks]

built a lead in the first
nothing changed, stagnant

[ElNono]

Neal's defense is really, really bad

[Cry Havoc]

33 points given up that quarter. Pathetic... Turnovers are a killer, and hopefully the refs will stop calling some of the nonsense they have been. Gotta let some stuff go

Actually it's not that horrible given that every 3 seconds there's a foul being called. Anytime you get free points AND extra possessions it's going to give you the ability to score, even on a good defense.

[weeks]

wtf looks like manu got popped on that drive

[timtonymanu]

Shit just put in Green. Neal is just completely useless.

[TDfan2007]

Neal can't stay in front of anyone tonight.

[ElNono]

goddamn get bayne in there

[Cry Havoc]

Wow, even more insane, 53 free throws tonight.

[Texas_Ranger]

why is Bonner in?? the guy is pathetic

[longhorn]

Fucking Bonner missing shots and losing rebounds. Fucking terrible player.

[TE]

I really really hate scrub teams

[Bill_Brasky]

Damn it Mills.

[ElNono]

I don't know what Pop is thinking... you need one of Manu/Tim/Tony or at least Kawhi out there, or we're leaking like a sieve

[Cry Havoc]

Could Baynes seriously bring less to the court than Bonner?

[BatManu20]

How does Pop not notice that every single time Bonner enters the game bad things happen. It's like clockwork.

[TDfan2007]

Jason Thompson is hitting some tough shots. I recall him being terrible, so this is a surprise.

[007nites]

What a terrible lineup lol

[crc21209]

This Mills-Neal-Green-Bonner-Splitter lineup blows. Get Tony, Tim or Diaw back in now..

[ElNono]

Jason Thompson is hitting some tough shots. I recall him being terrible, so this is a surprise.

when you have Matty in front of you, you feel like an allstar, tbh

[TDfan2007]

How does Pop not notice that every single time Bonner enters the game bad things happen. It's like clockwork.

It's because his +/- is usually always positive. It defies logic, space, and time, but it happens.

[Cry Havoc]

when you have Matty in front of you, you feel underpaid, tbh

Ftfy

[TDfan2007]

Pop's rotations have been awful tonight, but I think some of it has to do with him babying Timmy and Manu right now.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:pop: he spreads the floor alowing are penetrators in the lane

[Cry Havoc]

Lead is gone.

[ElNono]

now they're hot... good 3 by danny

[Bill_Brasky]

Salsa verdeeeeeeeee

[Cry Havoc]

Danny Fucking Green.

How's that, haters?

[capek]

Green eggs and ham!

[Cry Havoc]

Was that Splitter with the sweet rejection?

[BatManu20]

Green! We needed that.

[Bill_Brasky]

Tony takin this bitch over.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

damn tp9 taking over

[ElNono]

Patty towel-waving... we're doing something right

[$pursDynasty]

Tony Parker HeroBall, MVP, MVP!

[Joyrider]

Fuckin' Parker.

[Cry Havoc]

TP! Yes!!!! There's the 25+ I called for.

[capek]

Tony mothafuckin' Parker! Dudes been leading us all year. MVP MVP MVP!

[timtonymanu]

:lol Kings

:lol keeping them thinking they have hope and the Spurs just keep responding

[Captivus]

Salsa verdeeeeeeeee

haha What!! haha

[LakerHater]

Feels like Spurs should be up by 30!!

[Splits]

Spurs should be up 30, queens are shooting 34%

[ElNono]

thats your guy danny

[Bill_Brasky]

Kawhi with the longest arms ever

[Cry Havoc]

Spurs should be up 30, queens are shooting 34%

Just one of those games. :\

[ElNono]

big 3!

[Libri]

Diaw scared to shoot. :bang

[BatManu20]

Boris no confidence in his shot. No idea why though

[Cry Havoc]

Holy shit. Stat of the GAME.

Jason Thompson +/- of -39

[Cry Havoc]

Make that -43 :wow :wow :wow

[Bill_Brasky]

Green again!

[Cry Havoc]

Dagger.

[ElNono]

hero

[Splits]

Make that -43 :wow :wow :wow

Damn, Kobe-esque.

[Captivus]

Green running like Reggie Miller out there!

[Bill_Brasky]

Green hit in the balls?

[ElNono]

too much hero ball right now... solid lead though

[TDfan2007]

Wtf happened to Evans? He was on pace to own the league in a few years...

Also, I'm really liking how Jimmer has played tonight.

[Cry Havoc]

Damn, Kobe-esque.

Nah, he's not blaming his teammates enough.

[TDfan2007]

Bailout whistle in our favor. Refs have been awful on both ends tonight. We've gotten more than our fair share of questionable calls.

[Cry Havoc]

Kobe is 1-30 from trey in his last 14 games. :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Splits]

Wtf happened to Evans? He was on pace to own the league in a few years...

Also, I'm really liking how Jimmer has played tonight.

Evans is one of those players whose gotten worse every year he's been in the league.

[JingleJangleJingle]

i can't stand marcus thorton...he just hast that face you wanna punch over and over again

[ElNono]

damn it... looked like a solid lead until those back2back 3s

[Cry Havoc]

omfg

[BatManu20]

Kings not going away

[NASpurs]

Manu has fallen so far down the TOSB ladder, that freaking Isiah Thomas is guarding him.

[Darius McCrary]

Cream always rises, Tyreke.

[ElNono]

damn tony, stop dribbling and pass that shit

[ElNono]

:lol Cousins gambing and losing

[007nites]

Wtf is going on

[NickiRasgo]

lol Cousins

[Darius McCrary]

SUCK IT COUSINS

you've been PARKERED

[007nites]

lol

[Juggity]

Tony

[ElNono]

don't let them get an easy 3... danny, im looking at you

[JingleJangleJingle]

fuck i hate thorton he is always going to be a nusiance for the next 7 years.

[Bill_Brasky]

:lol Cousins gambing and losing

:lol yup. He was incredibly lucky to get the strip the last time down the court, no way it was happening again.

[Brunodf]

Pop almost lost this game tbh

[Darius McCrary]

Tony been sloppy tonight, but :worthy::worthy::worthy::worthy::worthy::worthy::w orthy:

[crc21209]

This fucking game has been like this all night. Go up 10-12, then they get within 6 or 4. And it happens in a matter of minutes...

[BatManu20]

How the hell is this game even a close game

[Cry Havoc]

TONY PARKER

[ElNono]

goddamn dany... stick to your guy... he almost gives up another 3

[Juggity]

Does Cousins have a personal vendetta against the spurs?

dude just has this burning desire to be the hero in this game.

[ElNono]

come on manu

[crc21209]

:lol Thorton. Chuckers gon' chuck, tbh..

[timtonymanu]

Evans is one of those players whose gotten worse every year he's been in the league.

:lol I just get annoyed that the fucker always plays well against us.

[ElNono]

good win, tbh... especially since we're getting Tim and Manu back slowly...

[timtonymanu]

Does Cousins have a personal vendetta against the spurs?

dude just has this burning desire to be the hero in this game.

Getting punked by Duncan every time they face each other has got to be personal for him.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

DMC is a fucking moron... chasing TP out to 30ft and thinking he can steal the ball from him. Fucking loser.

Anyone who thinks he'd make a good Spur at this point in his career is a moron.

[Pauleta14]

wow 7TOs for Tony?!??

Is it a record? :lol

[Darius McCrary]

W is a W. But pop has plenty of fodder to work with after that slop fest. Go Spurs.

[Cry Havoc]

Announcers crying about 2 points. :lmao :lmao :lmao

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sooooo glad I traded Rondo for Parker in my keeper league when Rondo went down. TP has been superb for years, but I don't think he's ever played better than the past 6 weeks.

[capek]

Good to get a win, even if we played sloppy down the stretch and let them back into it. I'll take it every time. :tu

[timtonymanu]

Rust. But we got the win.

Let's just hope the better Spurs team shows up for LAC.

[Chinook]

Spurs secure a winning road record for another year.

[Libri]

Does Cousins have a personal vendetta against the spurs?

dude just has this burning desire to be the hero in this game.

He probably does, especially after the Bruce incident.

Edit: it was Sean.

[capek]

wow 7TOs for Tony?!??

Is it a record? :lol

Still reeling after that skills challenge fiasco tbh :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

As I said in my RRT thread a fortnight ago: "we're better". Says it all, really. :lmao

[TDfan2007]

Spurs won this game, but did so in spite of the defense, which went into the shitter after halftime. Manu and Tim are obviously still rusty on offense. Neither guy has the confidence to make 1 on 1 plays yet.

[timvp]

Entertaining game. Solid win.

Next, tbh.

[Splits]

Kobe is 1-30 from trey in his last 14 games. :lmao :lmao :lmao

Wow, nice find. That is a hilarious stat, more hilarious than his -35 against the Clips the other night.

[Blizzardwizard]

I always felt that against a team THAT scrubby, it was never going to be easy. Lets go blowout the Clips now.

[Rebounds]

[TE]

I expect a loss against flop city. Pop will throw the game imo.

[Capt Bringdown]

Nice win coming out of the All Star break.

[SpurPadre]

This...except that ironically, TD still had confidence in the game to shoot a wildly ill-advised 3 pt. shot with the shot clock still in our favor. The biggest issue tonight other than the sloppy turnovers was the shot selection. This game had no business being close but the team's play against athletic teams worries me.

[spurraider21]

missed the game. final score looks ugly-ish (can't be too ugly considering its a W on the road). just concerning that we are having issues against teams like the cavs and the kings. i don't know how tim look but his numbers look awesome everywhere but scoring. is he not giving lift on his shots? is he even slower in his post moves? whats the issue with him

[SpurPadre]

Entertaining game. Solid win.

Next, tbh.

Next time we play the Kings next week, it won't be nearly as close as it was tonight.

[Darkwaters]

I missed the game until the 4th quarter. Did something happen to Tiago? I didn't seem him play down the stretch.

[SpurPadre]

He was very ineffective tonight against their bigs.

Fibal score wasn't indicative of the game. Spurs always led, usually by double figures. Sac got hot late in the game from three point land which made it closer than it looked. By Sac I mean Thorton.

[Darius Bieber]

Score definitely not indicative of the overall game.

[Darkwaters]

He was very ineffective tonight against their bigs.

Ok. Cool. Yea, because when I started watching they were playing Bonner. I didn't know if Tiago had been injured.

I just can't always get myself up for these damned 4AM games.

[Boomersgold]

Just out of curiosity, why was Bonner given so many minutes? We suffered on the boards when he was in the game.

[timtonymanu]

Just out of curiosity, why was Bonner given so many minutes? We suffered on the boards when he was in the game.

Splitter and Diaw were in foul trouble, Duncan was limited, and Bonner is unfortunately the 4th big.

[SpurPadre]

I just can't always get myself up for these damned 4AM games.

I live near Sacramento and was able to see the game live. For whatever it's worth, I got to high-five some of the guys as they were heading out after the game and Blair was the only guy on the team who looked like he didn't really care about the end of the game. It doesn't mean he's on the move but just an observation.

[racm]

Neither team had a big playing well except for Jason Thompson in the 2nd half so it boiled down to the perimeter players.

Any time Green hits most of his shots and Parker has a 30/10 game that's enough to win it.

[loveforthegame]

I feel bad for Kings fans. They're some of the best in the league and passionate about the team. I'd hate to see them lose them. Got a picture with the sign lady. She's a gem.

Fun game. Felt the Spurs were coasting at times and never felt the game was in jeopardy even when they cut it to 3.

Duncan is a monster. I'll never tire of watching him play the game the way it should be.

Love watching Leonard become more aggressive. Noticed him talking to the refs a lot too. Not in a bad attitude kind of way but hadn't noticed him like that before.

[BatManu20]

Spurs just seemed to let them hang around. We'd go up by 10 or 12 and then they'd cut it down to 4 or 5. That happened about 3 times. As soon as Bonner entered the game things started falling apart per par. He got out-rebounded, had bad fouls, and misses all his shots.

Duncan looks great defensively, but his post offense has declined considerably.. His back-to-the-basket game is a shadow of what it used to be. Luckily his jumper has improved a bit and he's good in PnR. His legs just look gone in the post.

i'm aware his post game is a shadow of what it used to be... but when you say that, are you referring to what it used to be earlier this season? or what it used to be as in 2005

He's an inverse Dirk. Dirk started out more of a perimeter player then played more in the post lately.

[TampaDude]

Another good road win. Keep it rolling, guys!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[Splits]

Kobe is 1-34 from trey in his last 15 games. :lmao :lmao :lmao

[look_at_g_shred]

Question, are we undefeated in our alternate unis??

[Spurs Brazil]

Question, are we undefeated in our alternate unis??

yes
