[Rito3d30]

That dunk is picture perfect:wow

[Brunodf]

[Aiko9245]

ESPN still ain't going to touch that for top 10.
Good golly!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Kawhi too excited lol

[ace3g]

[capek]

Leonard takin' the freebie. Dude's come a long way :tu

[ElNono]

Dude is a bad man :lmao

[emanueldavidginobili]

KL confidence is growing beyond our very eyes

[Spurs9]

Wow kwame

[Captivus]

Kiwi going Blake Griffin!!

[Brunodf]

Diaw can't rebound or box out:bang

[timtonymanu]

Fucking Aldridge!

[Bill_Brasky]

Damn, I still like it though.


Fucking bitch Blazers, making every tough jumper and when they don't the rebounds are just falling I to their hands.

[Nathan89]

Leonard doubling down on the highlight dunks. Can't wait for the gif.

[capek]

Common D!!

[emanueldavidginobili]

We need to win this game.

[EVAY]

Our bigs are getting killed by their bigs. Not good. Not a good sign for the playoffs.

[SpursRock20]

What in the hell did Kawai Leonard eat today?!

[siraulo23]

how is kawhi jumping this high lol

[Pop]

Our bigs are getting killed by their bigs. Not good. Not a good sign for the playoffs.

Yep Hickson is no Ibaka and he still killing us...........

[Spur|n|Austin]

Wow, I just spilled my beer all over my girl! If that's not top 10 on SC tonight ill go ape shit!

[ace3g]

Spurs better not lose this game after that Kawhi dunk

[Texas_Ranger]

Yep Hickson is no Ibaka and he still killing us...........

JJ is a better rebounder than Ibaka...

[thunderup]

C'mon Blazers. Keep it going.

[Cry Havoc]

Timmeh

[Aiko9245]

C'mon Blazers. Keep it going.

Timmay

[timtonymanu]

Aldridge again. Damn.

[Cry Havoc]

God damn Portland is on pace for the most bullshit of the season.

[ElNono]

we need jack to rough up Aldrige... he needs to be played much more physically

[ace3g]

can't believe there is no gif yet, jeez

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BE4jFD8CQAAA9x4.jpg:large

[Aiko9245]

Lord


can't believe there is no gif yet, jeez

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BE4jFD8CQAAA9x4.jpg:large

[HarlemHeat37]

Portland would be an elite team if they could play the Spurs once a week, tbh..

[JRHernandez88]

Kawai looking like a young mj tonight n shit. Lol

[Boomersgold]

can't believe there is no gif yet, jeez

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BE4jFD8CQAAA9x4.jpg:large

Obviously a subliminal marketing scheme by Jordan.

[ElNono]

bad passes, bad shots, no rebounding, poor d

[loveforthegame]

bad passes, bad shots, no rebounding, poor d

[timtonymanu]

This has the Phoenix game written all over it. Can we please step up?

[Cry Havoc]

Portland would be an elite team if they played hard every game, tbh..

[capek]

There ya go Manu! Now let's play some D!

[siraulo23]

manu trezzzz

[timtonymanu]

smh... smh

[emanueldavidginobili]

Get out of the zone now!

[Boomersgold]

We're lucky that Batum hasn't been able to get into his usual groove. I don't think he's someone that'll usually have 2 points in 3 quarters..

[Cry Havoc]

Manu what the fuck, we don't need stepback 20 footers early in the shot clock.

[ElNono]

Portland is a jump shooting team... even Aldrige is primarily a jump shooter... you have to be more focused on the perimeter

[Aiko9245]

Pop giving Tim the what's for.

[Texas_Ranger]

well this sucks...

[Cry Havoc]

We're lucky that Batum hasn't been able to get into his usual groove. I don't think he's someone that'll usually have 2 points in 3 quarters..

Yeah, we're totally lucky that Portland is shooting 57%.

Insert blue text.

[Strategic]

Damn hero ball takin over for the Spurs.

[Robz4000]

Looks like an L. Sucks because the Thunder come in next. Could be down to the 2nd seed come Monday night.

[Bill_Brasky]

Rebounding is really bad

[Brunodf]

Pop tanking to get the #2 seed tbh

[ElNono]

Yeah, we're totally lucky that Portland is shooting 57%.

Insert blue text.

They're open shots though... Aldrige is the only one being contested and he's just a good player if you give him room

[HarlemHeat37]

The perimeter D is puzzled, they keep conceding open looks..

Not sure how the Spurs are going to win this game, although they usually find a way to go on a run..they will need a barrage of 3s or this game is over IMO..thankfully, this team is probably the best in the NBA at 3-pointer induced runs..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Better start moving and playing some tough D or this is another Phoenix-style bullshit loss.

[thunderup]

Lillard!!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Another open look from 3..perimeter D has been embarrassing in this quarter..

[Bill_Brasky]

More jumpers falling.


Though if he had missed, they probably woulda grabbed the board anyway.

[timtonymanu]

Wow. Playing with a loser's effort.

[Boomersgold]

Cory seems to have cooled down. The backup spot's still wide open, imo.

[emanueldavidginobili]

We need some Danny 3s

[TDfan2007]

Rebounding is really bad

It's been awful. Our guys look lost defensively. Doesn't help that Portland is hitting EVERYTHING, but I mean they're wide open.

[EVAY]

Cory seems to have cooled down. The backup spot's still wide open, imo.
Yes, I think it is too.

Tonight we are missing Tony, imo.

[Cry Havoc]

Spurs still fighting.

[ace3g]

great, down 7 and bring in Bonner...

[EVAY]

Cory seems to have cooled down. The backup spot's still wide open, imo.
Yes, I think it is too.

Tonight we are missing Tony, imo.

[ElNono]

wide open, again

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Moving screen

[Brunodf]

Pop tanking to get the #2 seed tbh

[thunderup]

!!

[Bill_Brasky]

Are you kidding me with this shitty perimeter D?

[Cry Havoc]

wide open, again

Yeah, easy to get those looks with moving screens.

[Pop]

It all comes from the frontline taking it up the ass, like vs OKC last year, makes the game just too hard for us.

Also Manu is coming down to earth but that's to be expected, still his flopping is ready for the playoffs so that's good.

[Mayhem321]

Oh come on... even Babbitt :depressed

[ElNono]

Yeah, easy to get those looks with moving screens.

then knock one of those fuckers down, and the ref will notice... taking it up the ass like we've been this quarter isn't going to change shit

[emanueldavidginobili]

Defense is so fucking weak tonight

[Bill_Brasky]

This might be our worst defensive game of the season

[thunderup]

Wow!

[siraulo23]

blazers still shooting 57% geez

[timtonymanu]

Lillard fucking heating up now. Just what we needed.

[ace3g]

I hate these games when the Spurs can never get the game within 2-3 points

[Darius McCrary]

Manu coming Bach down to earth tonight, basically not helping

[Boomersgold]

So we've resorted to Diaw long range bombers?

[Cry Havoc]

PATTY MILLS YESSIR

[thunderup]

Damn Lillard

[thunderup]

Lilllard again! Wow impressive performance

[Cry Havoc]

MANU unstoppable!

And fuck these refs.

[Sean Cagney]

DAMN F IN PORTLAND team, every f in time we play them it's a problem. I knew this game would be a trap when I saw it on a Friday night and we would be playing them! Usually does not turn out good.

[Bill_Brasky]

Patty Stacks doin what he does. Gotta cool this little fuck Lillard down.

[ElNono]

90 pts through 3 quarters at home, unacceptable

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Lillard going off

[Boomersgold]

Damn Lillard

Damn Lillard or Damn, Lillard?

[timtonymanu]

Now we got to stop Lillard in addition to Matthews, Aldridge, and Hickson.

Wow. Spurs really shooting themselves in the foot tonight.

[Strategic]

might as well have bonner covering lillard tonight. geez

[emanueldavidginobili]

Force this guy left!

[Spurs Brazil]

Lillard KILLING us

[siraulo23]

lillard is amazing

[Manu-20]

Spurs are just shitting the bed tonight on D still can win this game but they need to turn up the D and rebound the ball better.

[Spursnlego]

What's Portlands FG %

[ElNono]

we need some stops in the 4th... come on Kawhi

[Floyd Pacquiao]

spurs defenseand rebounding has been putrid all game

[Captivus]

I have faith in Green

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Lillard can't miss and he's cutting us up whenever he feels like it. Need a big momentum swing here.

[HarlemHeat37]

Portland is the worst team in the NBA at defending the paint, based on total scoring..Spurs need to attack the paint in the 4th and hope it opens up looks from 3..the only chance they have is through a barrage of 3s, I can't see any other way they will win, tbh..

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Is it defense optional night in San Antonio tonight? Sheesh

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

How the hell do we kill CHocago and play so awfully against these kids?

[Darius McCrary]

Damien Lillard looks like Marlo.

[siraulo23]

Blazers shooting 60% :lol

[TDfan2007]

Portland going all OKC against us. Just hitting everything, contested or not.

[Brunodf]

Bonner still playing jesus, Pop is saving Splitter for what?

[ElNono]

cmon son

[Darius McCrary]

Manu chunking completely ruined Leonard's rhythm, thanks manu

[thunderup]

:lol lillard!

[TDfan2007]

How the hell do we kill CHocago and play so awfully against these kids?

Chicago has almost no offensive talent. They're a system team. These Blazers are loaded with offensive talent. They just suck at defense and don't put forth consistent effort.

[Manu-20]

Get Bonner the fuck out of there pop.

[Bill_Brasky]

Well that's game.

[timtonymanu]

GG Portland!

Burn the tape, tbh.

[SpurPadre]

I just got here...what the fuck is up with the phoenix suns (in the D'Antoni, Nash and Stoudamire era) like D from the Spurs tonight?

[Strategic]

why is manu ever on this guy anyway?

[loveforthegame]

Ugh. :td

[Cry Havoc]

Lillard is the 2nd best PG in the west after Parker.

[Boomersgold]

Wow. Lillard's too quick for Manu's old legs.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

giving up the mid-range jumper on the pick and roll isnt gonna work

[Floyd Pacquiao]

lol patty mills defense fuking sucks

[ElNono]

momentum and confidence... when a player gets hot it's tough to stop

[Darius McCrary]

Marlo and LaMarcus are spurs OWNERS

[timtonymanu]

Loser's effort, I'm telling you. Loser fucking effort.

[Pop]

Lillard owning.

[Rito3d30]

it's not even rational anymore
just send Bonner to the fucking end of the bench

[ElNono]

don't know what Pop was thinking... he needs Kawhi on Lillard

[thunderup]

1 game closer

[emanueldavidginobili]

Rookie of the year

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

8 points in less than a minute.....wow

[spurraider21]

Church of Lillard

[loveforthegame]

Losing these type of games suck. Spurs need to wake up.

[Texas_Ranger]

lol talking shit about Lillard, the guy is owning us bigtime...

[bklynspursfan]

Game over. If lillard is going off who knows what westbrick does. Spurs defense has been very poor all night

[Boomersgold]

don't know what Pop was thinking... he needs Kawhi on Lillard

Even Parker wasn't able to contain Lillard in our last against them. The dude's a future all-star.

[Spursnlego]

I can't remember the last time Portland missed...

[Strategic]

this slow ass half court offense the Spurs are playing sucks, and then where in the hell is green to cover lillard?

[Brunodf]

Lillard couldn't do this shit vs CoJo tbh

[ElNono]

just like OKC, this is a jumpshooting team... bad matchup for us

[TDfan2007]

Lillard is the 2nd best PG in the west after Parker.

Easy now...let's not get caught up in the emotions of this pummeling.

[Reck]

Uncle I give.

[spurraider21]

this slow ass half court offense the Spurs are playing sucks, and then where in the hell is green to cover lillard?
Slow offense probably a product of lack of Tony

[Spurs Brazil]

Lillard couldn't do this shit vs CoJo tbh

That's true. He got hot after CoJo went to the bench

[loveforthegame]

Not enough help from the bench.

[SpurPadre]

We could've had TP out there and DA ADMIRAL in his prime and these fuckers would still make it a tough game.

[Cry Havoc]

Easy now...let's not get caught up in the emotions of this pummeling.

I'm not. Who's better?

[ace3g]

white flag time

[Boomersgold]

Manu's unbeatable eurostep.

[thunderup]

:lmao yes!

[siraulo23]

lols spurs has no chance

[emanueldavidginobili]

LMAO FUCK THIS FOREAL

[Cry Havoc]

9-15 from 3. God damn Portland.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Nothing you can do when EVERYTHING is going in

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

You can't give up 90 points in 3 quarters and expect them to start missing shots

[bklynspursfan]

Lmao... Pathetic effort.

[siraulo23]

:lmao

[Bill_Brasky]

Its just comical at this point, these guys could be blindfolded and it would still go in.

[ElNono]

sucks when the game is over with 10 mins to go... haven't happened much this season... I suspect Pop will just rest Tim/Tiago?

[siraulo23]

incredible shooting by blazers

[emanueldavidginobili]

All fucking jump shots shits crazy

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:lol their on fire knocking down step back 3s and shit

[Cry Havoc]

62% and rising.

[timtonymanu]

:lol fucking Portland. Shit against majority of the league. NBA contender against the Spurs.

[Captivus]

Diaw soft.

[Manu-20]

Pop lost us this game tonight with those stupid rotations keeping mills in over cojo was a huge mistake, doesn't help when portland is hitting fluck jumper after fluck jumper.

[Brunodf]

Thank God Pop saved Splitter fouls for the next game

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow, they can't miss and we're being blown out. Ugly.

[EVAY]

Nothing you can do when EVERYTHING is going in

But how often have we had to say that this year? It seems like somebody is going to be able to do that in so many games.

[Sean Cagney]

Un FUCKING believable but so easy to see it coming. THEY HIT every FUCKING DAMN FUCKING shot on us.

[Bill_Brasky]

Manu with a retarded turnover when we can't afford it

[Boomersgold]

How is this even possible? Bonner comes in plays 5 minutes and is -14?

[Sean Cagney]

But how often have we had to say that this year? It seems like somebody is going to be able to do that in so many games.

YEP, it's rediculous, it's not just a coincidence at times.

[siraulo23]

why didnt that babbit shot go in? :lol

[ElNono]

Manu with a retarded turnover when we can't afford it

agree, but he's playing hero ball at this point... this shit's over

[HarlemHeat37]

You can't lose games against shitty teams when you're battling for the #1 seed and your best player is out until April..

Beating OKC without HCA is very unlikely..

[Strategic]

again, hero ball

[EVAY]

We should be going to the rim every time, and instead we are chucking up long range jumpers and only making a few of them

[Rito3d30]

at least we got ourselves some Bane Time

[Budkin]

Holy fuckballs, just turned on the game! WTF is happening? Portland is not this good!

[EVAY]

We need Tony. We need Tony's points and we need Tony running the offense,and being an offensive threat.

[Cry Havoc]

Turning this off now. Better things to do with my Friday night. Toodles.

[ace3g]

Needed more CJ, Kawhi and don't bring Bonner in when you are down 7 earlier in the game.

[sexinthatsx]

It's okay guys, don't worry... I expected the Spurs to lose this game tonight... We as first seeds would much rather face the Blazers than the Lakers in the first round. Bona fide tank job tonight Pop!

[Bill_Brasky]

Fuck Budweiser

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Lakers came back from 15 with like 6 minutes left. ANything can happen

[HarlemHeat37]

We can complain that they are making every shot, but most of their shots have been good looks, tbh..

Portland is the worst interior defensive team in the NBA, the Spurs needed to relentlessly attack the rim from start to finish..

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Boris Diaw was terrible this game, non-factor rebounding and slow on every rotation

[timtonymanu]

This little Spurs run will be negated again after the break when Jared Jeffries hits a 3 from halfcourt.

[BatManu20]

:lmao yes!

Thunder aren't beating Miami... keep dreaming.

[ElNono]

it's just a game... as long as it doesn't become a trend, I'm ok with it

[Brunodf]

Holy fuckballs, just turned on the game! WTF is happening? Portland is not this good!
Pop

[HarlemHeat37]

It's okay guys, don't worry... I expected the Spurs to lose this game tonight... We as first seeds would much rather face the Blazers than the Lakers in the first round. Bona fide tank job tonight Pop!

Lakers are going to finish 6th or 7th, tbh..

[thunderup]

Turning this off now. Better things to do with my Friday night. Toodles.

":cry look at this team, they're beautiful :cry"

[Strategic]

Needed more CJ, Kawhi and don't bring Bonner in when you are down 7 earlier in the game.Looks like bonner has worked his way back into the rotation in time for the playoffs?

[Sean Cagney]

Holy fuckballs, just turned on the game! WTF is happening? Portland is not this good!

Apparently against us they are.

[thunderup]

You can't lose games against shitty teams when you're battling for the #1 seed and your best player is out until April..

Beating OKC without HCA is very unlikely..

:tu

[siraulo23]

We can complain that they are making every shot, but most of their shots have been good looks, tbh..

Portland is the worst interior defensive team in the NBA, the Spurs needed to relentlessly attack the rim from start to finish..

yes but the three 3s they hit in the 4th so far were ridiculous

[thunderup]

You can't lose games against shitty teams when you're battling for the #1 seed and your best player is out until April..

Beating OKC without HCA is very unlikely..

:tu

[tim_duncan_fan]

We let Manu run the show, tbh. Getting schooled on one end and taking shitty threes on the other. Tonight is not one of his good nights.

Run some stuff for Kawhiyiyi!

[sexinthatsx]

Lakers are going to finish 6th or 7th, tbh..

Not if the Clips and Thunder are smart enough to figure it out and start tanking to Denver, Utah, Houston and Warriors too lol

[ElNono]

didn't OKC lose to the Wizards? :lol

Stuff like this happens, tbh

[maverick1948]

How is this even possible? Bonner comes in plays 5 minutes and is -14?

I wondered how long it would be before someone blamed Bonner.

[bklynspursfan]

Green is a moron sometimes

[Sean Cagney]

Lakers came back from 15 with like 6 minutes left. ANything can happen

This game is over, face it. OVER.

[Boomersgold]

Awesome pass by Jacks to Splitter!

[Strategic]

green = fast break piece of shit

[thunderup]

didn't OKC lose to the Wizards? :lol

Stuff like this happens, tbh

:lol not at home son

[thunderup]

dp

[Boomersgold]

Is Green really playing point guard?

[TDfan2007]

This is one of the worst defensive games of the season. Portland is hot, but they've been open almost all game long. Pathetic effort from our guys in the 3rd quarter.

[ace3g]

can't even get a break on that miss...

[Rito3d30]

hope the Blazers are going into a shooting slump

[emanueldavidginobili]

GO UP STRONG DANNY SOFT!

[Brunodf]

:lmao

[spurraider21]

Utah just got shit on by Marco bellinelli

[Floyd Pacquiao]

didn't OKC lose to the Wizards? :lol

Stuff like this happens, tbh

they also got blown out by the lolnets

[ElNono]

:lol not at home son

That's right, you lost to Brooklyn at home :lmao

[Beaverfuzz]

Ginobli has fallen so far, so fast.

[SpurPadre]

Can someone who's watching the game explain to me the reason we're playing shitty d tonight?

[Cry Havoc]

That's right, you lost to Brooklyn at home :lmao

:lmao

Fucking ownage.

[Beaverfuzz]

Can someone who's watching the game explain to me the reason we're playing shitty d tonight?

Portland is making everything. Shit happens.

[timtonymanu]

Of course Green leaves him open

[Strategic]

green just left lillard for an open three, maybe he missed the memo?

[thunderup]

That's right, you lost to Brooklyn at home :lmao

They're a playoff team

:lmao fail
