RRT Game 8 Blog: Spurs @ Warriors - Feb. 22 @ 9:30 PM CST

[crc21209]

Jack has ALWAYS played well against the Spurs for some reason...

[Nathan89]

Splitter sucking at FT's tonight

GS fans = playoff type crowd. This faggot better not choke this year.

[Libri]

Who the hell is this Jarret Jack?

Well, he's had some huge games this season. That's why he's on my fantasy team.

[SA210]

Man is it me or did they not credit the Spurs 2 points back when we had 54 and they were messing the score up? I could be mistaken, but I could have sworn we should have 2 more points

[Strategic]

Spurs hold onto that one point lead somehow

[SpurPadre]

gahhh its probably really loud in there

Yeah, I'm a little relieved I didn't go see the game tonight. I got a splitting headache and wasn't in the mood to hear annoying ass Oakland fans, especially those who are also rabid Raider fans.

[024]

:lol jefferson was pure disaster that last stretch

[siraulo23]

anybody's ball game

[LittleCriminal]

Pretty sure he got bumped to make room for SJ's return.

Should've Bumped #45 instead!!

[Bill_Brasky]

Were in for a great finish, really enjoying this one.

[RD2191]

we were about to go up 9 and then the refs started screwing us, lost all momentum

[Darkwaters]

:lol jefferson was pure disaster that last stretch

I don't think Jackson has left the bench tonight and hes still winning the head to head against Jefferson today.

[timtonymanu]

I hope they keep playing HWSNBN.

[Spurs Brazil]

Time to go for the kill

[Splits]

Spurs will continue to coast until the 4 minute mark and then take the game over and win by 8 per par, book it.

[SpurPadre]

I feel like it's time for Ginobili to take over in this 4th quarter.

Ah...he's not quite there yet, unfortunately.

[Strategic]

It's Tony Parker time

[LakerHater]

Didnt understand those 2 ios plays for RJ, oh well fuck it!

[TMTTRIO]

I'm not sure I like Manu coming off the bench anymore. He's not young anymore and when he comes off the bench he comes in ice cold unlike bringing it from the minute he comes in. At the same time I'd hate to move Green the way his confidence is and he's playing right now.

[LakerHater]

Diaw with a stupid foul!

[LakerHater]

nice hands Manu!!

[Strategic]

and 1

[LakerHater]

& 1!

[RD2191]

manu!!!!!!

[capek]

I'm not sure I like Manu coming off the bench anymore. He's not young anymore and when he comes off the bench he comes in ice cold unlike bringing it from the minute he comes in. At the same time I'd hate to move Green the way his confidence is and he's playing right now.

He's missed a ton of games recently. Always takes him a bit to recapture his rhythm.

[LakerHater]

C'mon Manu!

[ace3g]

Splitter hurt his ankle

[Strategic]

dammit

[timtonymanu]

Splitter hurt? FFS.

[Darius McCrary]

Splitter got a Niggle

[Brunodf]

Oh Shit

[RD2191]

blair! blair! blair!

[capek]

Splitter hurt his ankle

naw just bonked his right thigh looks like

[DapDaGenius]

Bonner limping? Tiago cramping? BIG BOOTY BAYNES TIME!!!

[Strategic]

sure glad Spurs kept Bla............ almost said it

[TE]

Splitter got a charlie horse, no?

[bklynspursfan]

Splitter hurt his ankle
Thought it was a knee to the thigh

[siraulo23]

please dont get injued

[mrjap2x]

Who hit splitter?

[RD2191]

Splitter got a Niggle
:lol

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Splitter better be OK, he's playing the best he ever has in the NBA.

[playblair]

splitter injured .............. :nope bonner ..............

[timvp]

Splitter got a Niggle

:lol

I'm assuming Splitter and Bonner bumped knees/legs. Haven't seen the replay yet tho.

[capek]

Bonner limping? Tiago cramping? BIG BOOTY BAYNES TIME!!!

On the inactive list :(

[timvp]

Splitter got a Niggle

:lol

I'm assuming Splitter and Bonner bumped knees/legs. Haven't seen the replay yet tho.

[bluebellmaniac]

Bonner limping? Tiago cramping? BIG BOOTY BAYNES TIME!!!
He did't make the trip.

[bklynspursfan]

Bonner limping? Tiago cramping? BIG BOOTY BAYNES TIME!!!

He's not with the team today

[LakerHater]

Thigh Bruise

[Uriel]

I'm not sure I like Manu coming off the bench anymore. He's not young anymore and when he comes off the bench he comes in ice cold unlike bringing it from the minute he comes in. At the same time I'd hate to move Green the way his confidence is and he's playing right now.
I disagree completely. Having Manu come off the bench allows him to be the focal point of the offence, the way he simply can't be when he's sharing the floor with Tony. Plus, at his advanced age, he's best able to utilize his vast talents when playing against bench players.

The only downside I see to Manu playing off the bench is the reduced number of minutes that comes with it, which mitigates the amount of stamina he could otherwise have come playoff time.

[Splits]

Splitter will be fine, just a charlie horse. Surprised Mills and Bonner are on the court together in the 4th of a tight game.

[siraulo23]

cp3 and dirk nba cares commercial on international league pass, smh

[capek]

The only downside I see to Manu playing off the bench is the reduced number of minutes that comes with it, which mitigates the amount of stamina he could otherwise have come playoff time.

But increases potential for injury

[Uriel]

Getting tired of hearing Mark Jackson over and over again. Bring in Pop.

[LakerHater]

Nice flip manu!

[DapDaGenius]

Splitter got a Niggle

I thought we weren't supposed to say the "n-word" on ST?

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Thank you Bonner!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

good job ginobili

[LakerHater]

Thats the rboundin we needed!!!

Thank you Bonner!

[capek]

There ya go Bonner!

[playblair]

blair making an immediate impact ......................

[Bill_Brasky]

Bonner with the rare 3 when we needed it

[timvp]

Bone hair!

[LakerHater]

Blair boardin!

[chapnis]

Classic Matt, foot on the line

[siraulo23]

turd towers

[timtonymanu]

FWIW, Bonner has done a decent job on Lee.

[Strategic]

lol blair

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

blair making an immediate impact ......................
TONIGHT IS YOUR NIGHT

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Blair has what 8 rebounds in 1 minute with 6 of them being garbage?

[DapDaGenius]

Blair on fire? That's rare.

[timvp]

Blair beasting!

[LakerHater]

Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaair!

[Uriel]

DeJuan with an immediate impact: grown man board, and the floater!

[davidbowie]

dont hate on my main man blair!!!!!

[playblair]

play blairrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Brunodf]

Blair playing well:wow

[capek]

Blair's energy actually works well against the small lineup the Warriors are running

[LakerHater]

Blair the Perfect size against Landry

[chapnis]

FWIW, Bonner has done a decent job on Lee.

Matt is good technically, just gets abused by strong and/or athletic guys, of which Lee is neither

[Bill_Brasky]

Blair with an immediate spark :tu

[Libri]

Splitter got a Niggle

http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/042/152/thats-racist.gif

[DesignatedT]

Nice DeJuan.

[capek]

Blair the Perfect size against Landry

Exactly

[Spurs Brazil]

Good job, Blair

[spurs1990]

lol Spurs fans ultimate schizo when it comes to Blair/Bonner.

[chapnis]

Just got here. Why no Jack?

[davidbowie]

me and playblair toastin right now!! :toast

[DapDaGenius]

On the inactive list :(


He's not with the team today


He did't make the trip.

Damn, I wanted to see that booty bounce. :depressed

[Darius McCrary]

Wow Blair is such a bad ass. Float that stuff

[timvp]

Just got here. Why no Jack?

Rotational decision.

[SpurPadre]

Matt is good technically, just gets abused by strong and/or athletic guys, of which Lee is neither

You also can't use the word "playoffs" with or anywhere near Bonner...and he's useful.

[Bill_Brasky]

I still crack up at the playblair troll......only on ST :lol

[Strategic]

Blair bandies are out tonight.

[Splits]

Did Bonner pull a Vinny on that last bucket?

[DapDaGenius]

me and playblair toastin right now!! :toast

The toastin' leads to kissing, that leads to the bed room. Have fun.

[Uriel]

Just got here. Why no Jack?
If you believe timvp, he seems to have been supplanted in the rotation by Nando de Colo.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

super small ball

[playblair]

me and playblair toastin right now!! :toast

:toast

blair steal ..........................

[chapnis]

I'm diggin Danny lately

[LakerHater]

VERDE!!

[capek]

YA Danny!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Spurs decided to show up in the 4th quarter it looks like.

[spurs1990]

Spurs will never lose

[DapDaGenius]

Bout time Blair comes out with some fire in his belly, he probably got jealous when Baynes did better than him yesterday.

But at least Blair is competent enough to stay under the rim, I don't know what the hell is be up with Tiago sometimes.

[bluebellmaniac]

Damn, I wanted to see that booty bounce. :depressed

... awkward....

[Boomersgold]

Too focused on the game to post much, but I will say one thing: Patty-Manu pairing proven to work.

[LakerHater]

Yuk Danny!

[capek]

... awkward....

OT, is that you in your avatar pic?

[DapDaGenius]

... awkward....

LOL That was the point.

[Richie]

FWIW, Bonner has done a decent job on Lee.

Bonner isn't a bad post defender, it's his help D and on pick and rolls that he struggles the most.

[chapnis]

Damn Jack. Spurkiller

[SpurPadre]

I'm not sure I would've taken out Manu there...dude is just starting to get in a rhythm.

[Brunodf]

Stupid foul

[capek]

Too focused on the game to post much, but I will say one thing: Patty-Manu pairing proven to work.

Like Patty against these small, quick guards :tu

[Boomersgold]

Not too sure about this Patty-Parker pairing though....

[Uriel]

DeJuan, gtfo.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Blair. smh

[chapnis]

I'm not sure I would've taken out Manu there...dude is just starting to get in a rhythm.
Save him for the last few

[DesignatedT]

Alright, get Blair out.

[bluebellmaniac]

LOL That was the point.
LOL!

[DapDaGenius]

LOL Pop going on him right now. XD

[LakerHater]

FUCKIN Blair, take it strong!!

[Trainwreck2100]

ok pop you can take blair out now

[Bill_Brasky]

As quickly as Blair rises, he falls.

[timvp]

Blair's barber needs to be fined.

[timtonymanu]

Is Splitter over his boo-boo yet?

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

How is that a foul on Parker? I swear refs make up things in their heads sometimes.

[Brunodf]

Put Blair on the bench!!

[Mayhem321]

well there is the Blair we all know...

[BatManu20]

Why the hell are Parker and Mills in at the same time..?

[LakerHater]

Bye Bye Blair!

[Boomersgold]

Blair....

[capek]

DeJuan, gtfo.

He contribute-eth, and then he take-eth a shit :rolleyes

[LakerHater]

TERRIBLE Tony!

[chapnis]

Damn whats happening

[rapliketp]

Is Baynes injured or just DNP - coach's decision?

[BatManu20]

We're losing grip on this thing. Someone other than Parker needs to step up

[Uriel]

Golden State crowd acting like it's Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

[crc21209]

13 point lead gone in minutes...

[capek]

Why the hell are Parker and Mills in at the same time..?

Guess because Neal was playing especially shitty tonight

[RD2191]

Damn whats happening
refs

[Splits]

Blair at center with Leonard at the 4 is a crazy small lineup. It worked though.

[SpurPadre]

Save him for the last few

Yeah but we were up 13 and as soon as he goes to the bench, Warriors cut the lead to 5.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

neal lets go

[timtonymanu]

Golden State crowd acting like it's Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

They've always been an active crowd.

[loveforthegame]

Killed all momentum.

[LakerHater]

No lift Timmy!

[bluebellmaniac]

Is Baynes injured or just DNP - coach's decision?

Explosive diahrea... got kicked off the plane.

[Strategic]

They may be booing Timmy. What's wrong with those people?

[chapnis]

Neal is terrible

[capek]

Duncan not had much success with his back to the basket stuff tonight


fuckin Neal

[timtonymanu]

CHOKE. Fucking choke.

[Brunodf]

NEal on Curry:lmao

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

parker time

[LakerHater]

DAMN, Spurs jus CHOKED way a 12 point lead!!!

[SpurPadre]

Goddamn you Neal...FUCK.

[bklynspursfan]

Well we might just blow this one if we can't execute something on offense....

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

or timmy time

[bklynspursfan]

No clue why Neal is in there

[timtonymanu]

C'mon Timmy. Close this out.

[chapnis]

Manu pls Pop

[Boomersgold]

Damn, why did Parker choose the 4th quarter to start cooling off.

[Strategic]

hit the free throws Timmy

[LakerHater]

Veteran Tim!

[Splits]

Starters blew the lead

[BatManu20]

Tim looks about 40 years old when we post him up..

[Uriel]

Timmy the stabilizer. That's why post players are so important in road games.

[DesignatedT]

"What do you see differently for Steph Curry here?"

Uhhh Gary Neal is guarding him...................

[bklynspursfan]

Gotta get Manu in there for Neal

[Reck]

I hope Neal gets hit by a truck.

[chapnis]

Tony Manu Danny Kawhi Tim to close?

[DapDaGenius]

Explosive diahrea... got kicked off the plane.

lol

[timvp]

Pop put Neal on Curry? Are you FING kidding me?

Holy hell.

[DapDaGenius]

Does Neal know what defense is?

[SpurPadre]

Pop, just pretend you traded Neal and reinsert Manu in the lineup ASAP. Neal is playing like Playoff Bonner now.

[capek]

I hope Neal gets hit by a truck.

Or just regains his shot. One of the other.

[Nathan89]

What does Kawhi have to do to get more postup plays? Seems to be pretty successful when he does.

[Strategic]

Pop had a rotation snafu, dammit

[RD2191]

chilllllllll

[crc21209]

Time to get Neal out. Finish with a line-up of Tony-Green-Manu-Kawhi-Tim to match their small ball lineup...

[Brunodf]

If Splitter is healthy, better go big

[timvp]

Pop going midget and then putting Neal on Curry destroyed the lead. Prahps, brah.

[Spurs Brazil]

Put Manu back. We won't survive Neal on Curry

[chapnis]

Does Neal know what defense is?
Isn't that the thing where you let the other team score?

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

If Splitter can't play it should be Parker-Ginobili-Green-Leonard-Duncan. Neal is useless on both sides of the court right now.

[BatManu20]

Come on fellas.. finish this thing out.

[DapDaGenius]

Isn't that the thing where you let the other team score?

That would be his exact response.

[timvp]

Okay, Pop, you better have logical matchups now, tbh.

[NASpurs]

Neal with the -80 +/-

[chapnis]

Damn these fouls.

[LakerHater]

C'mon Timmy!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Please refs just call one illegal screen on David Lee! If only refs knew the rules.

[Strategic]

Lee's looking at a 20/20 game.

[Uriel]

Ugh....

[Libri]

that pass :bang

[LakerHater]

Good D Tim!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Really?

[DapDaGenius]

Jack made a really ugly face after that shot...pull this together guys.

[Strategic]

high post pick and roll. ugh

[Brunodf]

Small ball:bang

[chapnis]

BS call

[LakerHater]

WOW!

[Texas_Ranger]

we fucked

[spursncowboys]

Please tell me someone got a pic of Ashy Larry (Jack)

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Flop Kawhi! refs are to stupid to know that if you don't foul, it's either a no call or a charge.

[RD2191]

the refs are really screwing us tonight

[crc21209]

That's a foul?

[chapnis]

Refs are giving it to the Ws down the strech...

[wut]

these refs are full of it.

[BatManu20]

Tony we need you. No one else is stepping up.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I think that the Warriors just want this game more than SA does.

[Uriel]

Jack made a really ugly face after that shot...pull this together guys.
I don't think he needs to make an ugly face to bare his ugly face.

[TE]

What a choke tbh

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

the amount of hate gary neal will receive shall be enormous

[DapDaGenius]

We play like complete SHIT, sometimes.

[Strategic]

how is the team back to watching duncan play that game

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Why does Pop do this stupid 1 on 1 crap? Why not run the offense that gets this team easy buckets?

[siraulo23]

leonard hasnt touched the ball in a while

[LakerHater]

BEAUTIFUL MANU!!!

[Uriel]

5 point swing. My heart.

[DapDaGenius]

They gonna score with 1.7 left, watch...on that BS

[RD2191]

fuk it, on the road, back to back, refs against us, lets see what were made of

[spursncowboys]

Come on GS. Just keep shooting threes

[Uriel]

I like this 5 man unit to close games.

[chapnis]

Good D

[DapDaGenius]

YEEEES!!! I WAS WRONG

[capek]

Get a good shot here guys. Let's close this one out!

[SpurPadre]

Warriors playing like it's Game 7 in the Finals and we're playing like it's game 57 and the 2nd of a back to back, tbh

[wut]

I give up.

[chapnis]

Oh, that had to drop haha

[Brunodf]

:bangJust go big Pop, stop adjusting

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Warriors playing like it's Game 7 in the Finals and we're playing like it's game 57 and the 2nd of a back to back, tbh

This x1000000

[chapnis]

[LakerHater]

Great execution!!

[Uriel]

[bklynspursfan]

Shit what's up with all the missed FTs

[Libri]

Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

[DatBoyGood]

Green!

[ace3g]

Green finishing at the basket!!

[capek]

Wow! Scared on that one lol

[LakerHater]

one minute of hell!

[spursncowboys]

Good shot Green

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

What a great game this is.

[chapnis]

Fack

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Terrible shot Green.
