About time for more Spurs ball, the ASB is so boring.

Hopefully our guys are rested and ready to smash on some Sacramento Supersonics.

[BatManu20]

Likely the last game the Spurs will ever play in Sacramento. Let's make it a good one.

[DapDaGenius]

Go Baynes.

[playblair]

Stephen Jackson will not be with team tonight


San Antonio G Stephen Jackson is doubtful Tuesday

[Cry Havoc]

I'm looking for Parker to get 25+ points tonight. We should aim to get Cousins in foul trouble early and then destroy their interior.

Defensively, the Kings have 5 guys who put up double digit points, so we need to be ready for the usual random player having a career night. They don't share the ball well at all, so focusing on limiting penetration is important because forcing a pass will likely result in turnovers.

[Strategic]

looking for the good guys to come out with fire in their eyes!!!

[DatBoyGood]

Jackson still out?? Dang. What is up with him

[Cry Havoc]

Likely the last game the Spurs will ever play in Sacramento. Let's make it a good one.

Incredibly sad. The NBA should seriously just start a new team in Seattle. It's awful that Stern has let it go this far after he so royally hosed them in the playoffs. Losing the Kings is going to depress the economy of Sacramento drastically.

[Cry Havoc]

Jackson still out?? Dang. What is up with him

At this point I'm guessing a member of his family is seriously ill or has passed away.

[Strategic]

Jackson has looked disassociated for several games.

[DatBoyGood]

At this point I'm guessing a member of his family is seriously ill or has passed away.
Kinda weird though how on twitter all he tweets about is his music even though thats usually what he does :lol

[BatManu20]

Agreed. The Kings have some of the best and most loyal fans in sports. Their economy will inevitably decline once their team leaves. It's unfortunate.

[benfti]

I would love for Baynes to go toe to toe with DMC

[foodie2]

Oh crap. No Sean no Bill.

[loveforthegame]

At the game and ready to roll. Go Spurs!! :flag:

[BatManu20]

At the game and ready to roll. Go Spurs!! :flag:

Nice. I take it you live in NorCal? I live in LA and am trying to get tickets for Thursday's game against LAC. They're damn expensive though.

[Brunodf]

Trap game...

[Captivus]

The Jimmer with a career night!

[DarkGinobili]

:flag:

[Strategic]

:vomit:
.....Jimmer

[manufan10]

At this point I'm guessing a member of his family is seriously ill or has passed away.

Yeah he tweeted something earlier today about how it's difficult losing a child. However, nothing has been said about it outright.

[Captivus]

Yeah he tweeted something earlier today about how it's difficult losing a child.
Lets hope thats not the case...

[ace3g]

see if Sean Marks has any nuggets about the Spurs and trade deadline throughout the game.

[Dex]

Bout damn time for a game again.

[Cry Havoc]

Agreed. The Kings have some of the best and most loyal fans in sports. Their economy will inevitably decline once their team leaves. It's unfortunate.

I catch Kings radio sometimes here in the Bay. It's awful to hear the sports hosts talk about the future. They sound crushed. Feel awful for them.

[loveforthegame]

Nice. I take it you live in NorCal? I live in LA and am trying to get tickets for Thursday's game against LAC. They're damn expensive though.

Yeah I'm in SF. Had tickets for the Warriors game but had to sell them. Good luck getting those Clippers tickets. :tu

[Johnsyounger]

I have a bad feeling Cousins may do something stupid....

[Manu-20]

Out here in Cali got tickets to the game thursday going to be a good one right near the court behind the backboard.

[capek]

So happy Spurs ball is back. Missed 'em! Stay healthy guys!

[DatBoyGood]

Keep the alternate jersey streak alive!

[timvp]

Tiago with the flying layup.

Welcome back, Spurs :tu

[ace3g]

Splitter!!

[timvp]

F DeMarcus Cousins, fwiw....

[Johnsyounger]

TIMMMYYYY

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Timmy stealing all of Kawhi's rebounds

[ace3g]

TP with the nice fake

[NASpurs]

I might have to turn on the radio and mute the TV. Monaco and Marks are unbearable.

[timvp]

Monaco and Marks with dead air galore.

[ace3g]

plays for Kawhi!!!

[Manu-20]

Alright Kawhi drawing the foul on his baselinejumper.

[NASpurs]

Marks taking the "color" out of color commentary.

[exstatic]

lol, Kings Purina Dog Chow unis.

[timvp]

Duncan's interior D has been great.

Leonard's patience on O has become so much better compared to earlier this season.

The Spurs aren't as rusty as I imagined.

[Chinook]

Each starter scored two of the Spurs' first 10 points, if I counted correctly.

[BatManu20]

Yeah I'm in SF. Had tickets for the Warriors game but had to sell them. Good luck getting those Clippers tickets. :tu

:toast

[exstatic]

Each starter scored two of the Spurs' first 10 points, if I counted correctly.

You and Sean Marks did.

[bklynspursfan]

Really nice/active D early on. No fooling around this game, hope they keep it up the remainder. 2 tough games looming.

[foodie2]

Marks taking the "color" out of color commentary.

Still better than Monaco.

[JingleJangleJingle]

come on tim...gotta get that DPOY.

[Cry Havoc]

What a pass!!!!!

[ace3g]

Green slash and finish in traffic??

[Cry Havoc]

Danny fighting through screens is a sight to see.

[timvp]

Green on fire at the rim as of late :wow

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

cousins has a bad touch around the rim when he is on the move. way too strong.

[ace3g]

2 on Kawhi...

[Chinook]

Green on fire at the rim as of late :wow

Making me look like a fool for being concerned.

[ace3g]

manu tres!!!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

NOICE

[timvp]

Got damn I love these Spurs, tbh.

[DarkGinobili]

Manu 3!!!

[capek]

Manu! Wasting no time. "Rust is for pussies" he says :ihit

[ace3g]

Elliott nursing an injury, lol

[Dex]

Spurs holding down the paint so far. :tu

[Brunodf]

Manu!

[BatManu20]

Looking good so far.

[Captivus]

the pick and roll thread from the Spurs has the Kings defense crazy.

[capek]

Spurs holding down the paint so far. :tu

Splitter doing work! :tu

[JingleJangleJingle]

Got damn I love these Spurs, tbh.

why does everybody always say tbh on this site?

[BatManu20]

The San Antonio Spurs will likely move forward DeJuan Blair close to the deadline, ultimately accepting the best final offer for him, sources said. Blair has wanted a trade for more than a year, and clearly will not re-sign with the Spurs as a free agent this summer.
The Spurs had tried to canvass the market for a first-round pick, but have relented on that demand. The Spurs could get a second-round pick, or perhaps a player on an expiring deal in return. - Adrian Wojnarowski

[exstatic]

the pick and roll thread from the Spurs has the Kings defense crazy.

They're 29th in defensive rating. Not too much of a surprise to see them struggle.

[Captivus]

why does everybody always say tbh on this site?

If they dont, assume they are lying! haha

[Chinook]

You and Sean Marks did.

All right. I'm watching the Kings' feed, so I wasn't trying to steal Marks' analysis or anything like that.

[Darius Bieber]

That "no high five" after a made free throw shows a all of team chemistry for the Kings..

[Dex]

Blair the 2nd big off the bench tonight. Showcase time?

[capek]

why does everybody always say tbh on this site?

Because it's a very cool fad that adds a witty zing to our exchanges, tbh :tu

[Brunodf]

That's why the Spurs have to trade Blair, Pop will play him and hurt the team tbh

[Johnsyounger]

I had a realization today, Israel Guiterrez is a worse analyst than Bill Walton.

[capek]

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

JUST REALIZED I'VE BEEN BOLDED!!!!! :wow

so proud of myself tbh :cry

Just in time to enjoy the drive for #5 as a BNSF :tu

[jt__]

sooo this game is boring

[BatManu20]

We're letting these guys hang around. Come on Spurs.

[SpursIndonesia]

What's going on with this FTs parade by the Kings scrubs ??

[Dex]

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

JUST REALIZED I'VE BEEN BOLDED!!!!! :wow

so proud of myself tbh :cry

Just in time to enjoy the drive for #5 as a BNSF :tu

PreAABChTyQ

[DarkGinobili]

[timtonymanu]

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

JUST REALIZED I'VE BEEN BOLDED!!!!! :wow

so proud of myself tbh :cry

Just in time to enjoy the drive for #5 as a BNSF :tu

Congrats. You're good people. :tu

[BatManu20]

De Colo misses a lot of bunnies

[Manu-20]

I really hope De colo keeps his backup pg duty I think he is the best person to do it just do to his playmaking skills like that pass he just threw to diaw late in the shot clock.

[JingleJangleJingle]

dumbass shouldn't have whimped out in the last minute.

[Strategic]

Did he just say "a lovely find"?

[timtonymanu]

Teams are probably now looking away at Blair's performance.

[jt__]

Teams are probably now looking away at Blair's performance.

I honestly think he's not going anywhere

[capek]

haha thanks guys! I mean, it doesn't matter but, ya know, it matters a little ;)

back to the game. Seems like Spurs have forgotten how short Blair is. Lots of passes going slightly over his fingertips. :td

[timtonymanu]

:lol at that NBA commercial.

What fan in their right mind would want to watch a game between the Hawks and the Wolves?

[Captivus]

:lol at that NBA commercial.

What fan in their right mind would want to watch a game between the Hawks and the Wolves?

Basketball reason...$$$

[capek]

Good D, better O

[Strategic]

Blair could yet play a role for the spurs this season. FO may just keep him around instead of trading him for low value.

[DarkGinobili]

Leonard 3

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

gary neal with the behind the back pass what

[JingleJangleJingle]

fucking mormon.

[capek]

Pretty ball movement!

[Juggity]

Bootiful ball movement

[Darius McCrary]

I will be sad to see Blair leave if he's traded. He's been a good Spur, and hasn't deserved near the level of shit some give him on this board.

[Johnsyounger]

festival of bricks

[DarkGinobili]

It's bricking 3's

[capek]

Neal still slumpin' :(

[BatManu20]

Neal with t-rex arms tonight

[Captivus]

Kmon Neal, take your time...no one is near you.

[BatManu20]

Timmy with 10 boards already

[blkroadrunners]

Those Kings uniforms are ugly as hell. They remind me of the Wizards alternate uni a few years back.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

offense playing to wild got to be more calm

[longhorn]

Lawlz Kawhi was like fuck you give me that ball.

[DarkGinobili]

Leonard 3 again

[Juggity]

Kawhi unstoppable from the corner.

[timtonymanu]

That corner 3 is becoming deadly for Leonard.

[JingleJangleJingle]

why do we have to lose the mormon.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

robinson works hard. hopefully the kings dont ruin him.

[DarkGinobili]

3 point game

[BatManu20]

Jimmer shitting on us

[Juggity]

Fredette trying to get revenge for the college beatdown he received from Kawhi

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Jimmer plays well against Kawhi.

[Brunodf]

Pop still playing DeColo/Duncan together, i guess he missed that Timvp players pairs thread...

[capek]

Jimmer plays well against Kawhi.

That a college thing?

[KL2]

Wow I'm loving Kawhi's aggressiveness, they are running quite a bit of plays for him.

[capek]

Timmy rust on those long outlet passes

[DarkGinobili]

LOL Duncan with the airball on the 3

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

That a college thing?
http://espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=310260252
Jimmer went off in the second half and Kawhi couldn't do anything about it. Kawhi was guarding him for a lot of it too.

[capek]

ASG is over Timmy! :lol

[Cry Havoc]

How the F is that a foul on Splitter?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

tim could actually make that corner 3 consistantly tbh

[BatManu20]

Tim barely drawing iron on the 3... lol

[blkroadrunners]

Much needed 3 by Green

[DarkGinobili]

Green 3

[weeks]

duncan, i know you hit those in practice consistently

[capek]

Nice looking shot!

[Cry Havoc]

Seriously fuck the refs. Fuck them. Fucking bullshit.

[Manu-20]

what fuckin bs cousin was pushing duncan off for that rebound.

[capek]

Oh bull shit call! Fuck that, that was great defense :td

[TE]

Lol cousins getting that call

[bklynspursfan]

Ball dont lie

[JingleJangleJingle]

ball don't lie

[timtonymanu]

Bullshit foul. He was pushing Duncan. Fucking idiot refs.

[Brunodf]

BS call

[Captivus]

Jimmer must play SG.
He would be deadly in the Spurs system

[benstanfield]

Bullshit calls on Tiago.

[Splits]

b2b horrible fouls called on Splitter. No respect.

[Juggity]

sloppy offense for the last few minutes

[Texas_Ranger]

damn Diaw

[capek]

http://espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=310260252
Jimmer went off in the second half and Kawhi couldn't do anything about it. Kawhi was guarding him for a lot of it too.

:wow 43 pts!

I wish I had watched Kawhi play in college. Thanks for the bit o background info

[BatManu20]

Dammit we should be blowing these guys out. Playing sloppy

[BatManu20]

Jimmer must play SG.
He would be deadly in the Spurs system

He's pretty similar to Neal tbh. Very similar skill set. I'd say Jimmer's a little better shooter though.

[Robz4000]

Abortion ball all around. Luckily the Spurs have a great defense once again to fall back on.

[Cry Havoc]

Perfect fucking fastbreak.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Two absolute BS calls on Splitter. He still gets fucked by the refs in some games, not as badly as in the past though.

[playbonner]

Matt Bonner is in!

[DarkGinobili]

Parker and 1

[capek]

stfu IT lol

[bklynspursfan]

There you go TP

[BatManu20]

Lol wtf Tony

[ace3g]

Red Mamba with the block, lol

[Floyd Pacquiao]

block by bonner! lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

wow parker is angry

[DarkGinobili]

LOL bonner with the block

[bklynspursfan]

These kings players have like 0 discipline

[BatManu20]

Block by Bonner :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

DMC: "if I woulda said that I woulda got a tech."

That guys is such a 12yo child, and has a victim complex to boot. He is my least favourite NBA player.

[Juggity]

Kings players get frustrated easily. Headcase DMC could do something stupid before the end of the game again

[KL2]

Neal has to be the worst defensive SG in the NBA...

[TDfan2007]

Timmy is still rusty as hell offensively. Our guys are playing decently, but the Kings have been HORRID. We should be up by 20+.

[TDfan2007]

Neal has to be the worst defensive SG in the NBA...

Oh, he's up there.

[timtonymanu]

smh at Neal's defense

[Juggity]

How many fuckin' times can the Kings announcers say "Hustlin' Husky"

[jt__]

Hahahaha good one Cousins

[Darius McCrary]

Cousins :lol smh

[Darius McCrary]

c:lolusins

[longhorn]

Anyone else hear that loud "FUCK." as the Spurs lost control of the ball after getting the board. On Fox SW

[BatManu20]

Got lucky. Almost cost us 2 there

[weeks]

lmao cousins
fail
bonus fail

[Splits]

Anyone else hear that loud "FUCK." as the Spurs lost control of the ball after getting the board. On Fox SW

It was Tony.

[weeks]

Anyone else hear that loud "FUCK." as the Spurs lost control of the ball after getting the board. On Fox SW
i'm watching league pass and i heard it
sounded like green to me?
edit: nvm i was way off :downspin:

[BatManu20]

Anyone else hear that loud "FUCK." as the Spurs lost control of the ball after getting the board. On Fox SW

Ha yea pretty sure that was Pop haha

[capek]

I have a plan. We dye Baynes' hair red, then we tell Bonner that they're doing a rematch of the 3 pnt contest in China this weekend. Buy him a plane ticket, send him on his way. Maybe Pop will get confused and play a redheaded Baynes if Bonner mysteriously disappears.

[capek]

Baynes almost cost us 2 there

You mean De Colo? Baynes wasn't out there was he?

[bklynspursfan]

I gotta imagine the focus at half time is turnovers.

[Splits]

You mean De Colo? Baynes wasn't out there was he?

Baynes was not out there. And I rewatched the last play and I think I was wrong, wasn't TP with the f-bomb

[BatManu20]

You mean De Colo? Baynes wasn't out there was he?

My bad. Watching it on a shitty live stream and I thought it was Bane.

[capek]

Just rewatched it myself. Did sounds like Tony. The same person who said, "Go Go Go," then said "Fuck." Not sure if it was Tony though. Sounded more Americanized.

[jt__]

Sorry for off topic question, but is NBA 2k13 worth upgrading from 2k11? Or should I just wait for 2k14?

[atoyotagaspedal]

I would wait, but that one is probably gonna be shit as well.

[Capt Bringdown]

Matt "The Human Eraser" Bonner's block my favorite play of the 1st half.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Sorry for off topic question, but is NBA 2k13 worth upgrading from 2k11? Or should I just wait for 2k14?

Buy it ASAP

[TMTTRIO]

I guess Manu's still injured. Only 5 minutes in the first half after all that rest and players like Neal and DeColo have even played more minutes than he has.

[ElNono]

I guess Manu's still injured. Only 5 minutes in the first half after all that rest and players like Neal and DeColo have even played more minutes than he has.

what's the diagnosis doc?

[jt__]

I guess Manu's still injured. Only 5 minutes in the first half after all that rest and players like Neal and DeColo have even played more minutes than he has.
probably. No use in playing him against the Kings if Pop still has any doubt whatsoever. Wouldn't surprise me if he gets a lot more minutes on Thursday's game versus the clippers

[capek]

Nice defense play by Kawhi! :wow

[ace3g]

Splitter not starting 2nd half

[capek]

And 1!

[ElNono]

Pop will bring back Manu slowly... its the time of the year when Pop goes overly cautious

[timtonymanu]

Splitter not starting 2nd half

Expected with his 3 fouls

[capek]

Splitter not starting 2nd half

Hadn't even noticed. Shit, don't like that. Hopefully his ankle is fine

[capek]

Expected with his 3 fouls

oh ya that's a good point

[ElNono]

Splitter = foul trouble

[Manu-20]

Lol what is it with these king annocuers thinking Kawhi is undersized.

[ace3g]

big shot Boris

[Splits]

And Manu is on a minute count, last game it was 10-12 so it probably isn't much more tonight.

[DarkGinobili]

Diaw 3

[ElNono]

we might sit all big 3 by the 4th at this rate... Kawhi doing work on both ends, tbh

[Spursfanfromafar]

The Queens are such a bad team...

[TDfan2007]

I'm not used to seeing Kawhi miss.

[BatManu20]

Here we go

[bklynspursfan]

There are some real emotional dudes on the kings.

[Darius McCrary]

Gotta watch out for Jimmer when play resumes....

[ElNono]

fear the Jimmer Jam

[BatManu20]

big shot Boris

If Boris could knock down that shot consistently it would do wonders in opening up the floor for us tbh. He gets that open look a lot.

[jt__]

Fuck your momentum

[DarkGinobili]

Green 3

[Darius McCrary]

DAMN!!! Those kind of 3's by Danny are just will breakers.

[capek]

:lol at Timmy doing that "I'm open!" dance, then Danny draining the three

[Juggity]

Tony with the sloppppy passes

[ElNono]

I think Pop is also trying to figure out the backup PG situation... and to take a good look at De Colo/Neal, Manu has to sit

[capek]

Thing of fucking beauty! :toast

[Darius McCrary]

Daniel is in terminator mode.

[TDfan2007]

Timmy is getting pushed around down there right now. Not quite liking his body language.

[jt__]

I think Pop is also trying to figure out the backup PG situation... and to take a good look at De Colo/Neal, Manu has to sit
I don't know which is more of a problem. The rebounding problem or the lack of a solid backup PG problem

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi is good for one of those travel calls once a game it seems. Just seems unsure of what he wants to do, but the more he is the play-maker, the better his decision making will be

[Darius McCrary]

Leonard's slow first step leads to a TO again.

[Arcadian]

Defense is looking good

[capek]

Wow, that looked like a total flop reaction by Cousins on that foul. Fine worthy?

[ElNono]

lol Cousins

[DatBoyGood]

Cousins :lol

[capek]

Fts!

[Darius McCrary]

WTF has happened to the FT shooting tonight

[Leetonidas]

Danny Green actually hit a layup :wow

[capek]

:wow :tu

[DarkGinobili]

Green

[Cry Havoc]

HOLY SHIT what happened to Danny fucking Green. The dude can hit layups!

[weeks]

green all the way! nice

[Juggity]

wutttt green made an open layup

[timtonymanu]

Man, Green adding a layup to his repertoire will definitely add another dimension to our starting lineup.

[BatManu20]

See what happens when Green is two-dimensional? He could do some damage if he really wanted to

[TDfan2007]

Green's confidence is clearly through the roof. He's taken it all the way to the rack twice today, which is about double what he's done in the last few months. They've looked good too.

[TDfan2007]

Timmy is in God mode defensively tonight. Something about playing Cousins really revs him up.

[mrjap2x]

Is splitter injured?

Duncan with another dominant defensive effort :O

[Cry Havoc]

Timmy is in God mode defensively tonight. Something about playing Cousins really revs him up.

Cousins being bitchmade like KG/Kobe/Malone maybe?

[TDfan2007]

Officiating has been awful tonight.

[TDfan2007]

Cousins being bitchmade like KG/Kobe/Malone maybe?

Agreed.

[Blizzardwizard]

:lol Kings announcers making fun of Diaw complaining, don't say a word when C:lolusins pouts after every play resulting in a spurs basket.

[Cry Havoc]

Fuck you refs, Cousins spins out of control, rams his elbow into Green, and gets a call.

[ElNono]

uh oh, Pop playing injured Manu :rolleyes

[Cry Havoc]

If the Sonics get the Kings, their first move should be to trade the fuck out of Demarcus.

[TDfan2007]

Kings have stepped up their defense in the last few minutes.

[bklynspursfan]

Cousins is going to shed a tear one of these days on the court. Can see it coming
