GSG! :flag:

[TXstbobcat]

On my way to the target center to watch my spurs. Scored free tickets for tonight!

[ace3g]

No timmy, No Kawhi, No TP; No Problem...

[xtremesteven33]

Manu plays his best game of the season tonight.

[Tim_duncan21]

Nice. This could mean more playing time for Cory Joseph and Splitter.

[superjames1992]

Manu is going to dominate, tbh, per par!

[Captivus]

Hope CoJo goes 30+!

[Captivus]

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

League pass is freaking out on me, anyone got a stream?

[td4mvp2k]

BS!

[Captivus]

not using Tiago

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Good ball movement so far

[ElNono]

good energy from the younglins

[Chinook]

Green doing work.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Minnesota is just a mess.

[BatManu20]

http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/1540/spursbaynebane2copy.jpg

[ElNono]

Jack!

[ElNono]

Rubio is overrated as fuck, tbh

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Tiago is so good at passing.

[ElNono]

Neal backup PG...

[slayermin]

Manu time!

[ElNono]

lol Pop mad at Neal

[DesignatedT]

Neals overall effort is just poor. Especially on defense and rebounding.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Looked like Neal had no idea where the rebound was going.

[Trainwreck2100]

half their damn points coming from offensive boards

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop is very mad

[Robz4000]

If they could get a rebound, Spurs would've only allowed 6 points.

[Captivus]

Get Baynes in...

[BatManu20]

Neal ice cold

[ElNono]

damn that defense...

[BatManu20]

So much for great defense lol

[capek]

smh Blair

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Good thing Minny's bench is also garbage.

[ElNono]

Jack been money

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Can't wait to see Minny's 3 guard line-up, gonna be easy points for Jack if he wants them.

[capek]

Good to see Jax starting to round into form.

[ElNono]

scary how bad Blair/Bonner are boarding... I mean, junior varsity kind...

[Captivus]

I wanted the transition 3ps from Neal....:depressed

[Spurs Brazil]

This Wolves feed sucks. They have the scoreboard on a terrible place

Blair with a bad start

[ElNono]

defense...

[DejuanorwhatDude]

Dejuan Blair is a useless piece of shit.

[Spurs Brazil]

Why Pop keep playing Blair?????????? He's a huge liability on D

[ElNono]

diaw!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Rubio is the only guy doing anything for them, we should go on a run when he is out if Barea doesn't go off.

[mrjap2x]

Frenchies fighting for the board, diaw comes up with the buzzer beating reverse layup.

[Trainwreck2100]

lhow was that not a travel on Diaw

[Cry Havoc]

wtf sportacular didn't even alert me to our game. wtf.

What did I miss?

[DejuanorwhatDude]

Losing this game would be so infuriating.

[mrjap2x]

Uh oh

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Cut Blair

[ElNono]

he's fine... was it Blair that hit him?

[Captivus]

wtf sportacular didn't even alert me to our game. wtf.

What did I miss?

Nothing important...Jackson looking good, Blair/Bonner just running around. Rubio doing it all for them...
Ahhh...and a back-flip dunk from Tiago!

[Budkin]

Talk about up and down first.

[Robz4000]

Are you fucking kidding me?

[BatManu20]

Of course Manu's hurt after running into his own player...

[RD2191]

damn

[hater]

no comment :rolleyes

[KaiRMD1]

Manu pulling a Mark Sanchez lol

[DesignatedT]

Now Blair is literally hurting the team

[DejuanorwhatDude]

It would have to be Manu.

[ElNono]

lol thinking you could get a 1st round pick for that turd

[Brunodf]

:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang

[playbonner]

Cut blair............

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair...

[AFBlue]

Please God, take DeJuan Blair out! If there's a worse grade than F, he deserves it.

[Brunodf]

Now Blair is literally hurting the team

[Budkin]

Can't see game what happened???

[Cry Havoc]

Manu flopped on his own team. Would that be a block or a charge on Blair? :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Can't see game what happened???

Manu stumbled into Blair and went down. Looks like he caught an elbow to the nose. He's fine.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Turd Towers

[BatManu20]

Manu's fine. Back in the game.

[ElNono]

why Pop?

[JingleJangleJingle]

lol spur killer barea

[capek]

So we can't buy a fucking board. Just put the legit 7'er in for christ sake. :bang

[ElNono]

CoJo and Tiago are young...

[BatManu20]

Spurs are playing poorly, so Pop's resolution is too put in Bonner and De Colo... Lol

Guess you work with what you got.

[Brunodf]

Pop throwing this game

[emanueldavidginobili]

Blair in Diaw in at the same time....

[capek]

Patty wtf??

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Mills is like a worse version of Barea.

[emanueldavidginobili]

This lineup absolutely sucks!!

[Cry Havoc]

Dear god.

[4Dwin!]

Da fk is goin on?

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair defense killed our good start.

[JingleJangleJingle]

http://i.imgur.com/ectqP.gif

[Cry Havoc]

There you go Danny. His game is evolving.

[BatManu20]

http://i.imgur.com/ectqP.gif

:lol

[Cry Havoc]

If he can learn to step in front of that hard pressure to the 3 point line we'll be really set for the playoffs.

[Budkin]

Good God we're losing to these scrubs? :lol

[Capt Bringdown]

The day Blair takes off his Spurs jersey for the last time will be a great day.

[Cry Havoc]

What the fuck?

[Cry Havoc]

The day Blair takes off his Spurs jersey for the last time will be a great day.

You do realize he played his ass off last night, right?

[Boomersgold]

Fuck. When Danny has an iso play, you know your ball movement sucks.

[Robz4000]

This effort is pathetic. These rotations are worse.

[ElNono]

It's on Pop... these lineups are BS... it's not like CoJo and Tiago can't play big minutes.

[Cry Havoc]

Spurs 0 FTs as per par.

[DesertSpur50]

Blair taking himself out of the game is the best thing he's done all night.

[thunderup]

:lol looks like the Spurs blew their wad playing us. Back down to earth they go.

[Capt Bringdown]

You do realize he played his ass off last night, right?

No, I don't. You're exaggerating.

[JingleJangleJingle]

why did Kawhi have to sit out today...

[4Dwin!]

Oh thank God Blair is out

[ElNono]

:lol looks like the Spurs blew their wad playing us. Back down to earth they go.

sup bro, where were you last night? :lol

[Boomersgold]

Take out one of the turd towers, please. We nede rebounding and interior defense.

[Russ]

Good God we're losing to these scrubs? :lol

Hard to believe our all-star lineup could be losing to these guys.

[ElNono]

lol Rubio making 3pts

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Tiago draws a lot of attention when he posts up

[Budkin]

:lol looks like the Spurs blew their wad playing us. Back down to earth they go.

Oh look who crawled out of the wormhole.

[capek]

Patty poor on his defensive rotations, and not hitting his open shots, per par tbh.

[4Dwin!]

spurs trail and just right on cue the troll appears

[BatManu20]

When did the Spurs become such a turnover prone team? The last month it seems like the spurs have become completely undisciplined. Tuening the ball over like a lottery team tbh.

[ElNono]

it's all jumpshopts... they'll cool down... but we need something on offense... DeCulo/Mills suck running the offense

[capek]

:lol looks like the Spurs blew their wad playing us. Back down to earth they go.

:lol you give faggots a bad name.

[Juggity]

:lol looks like the Spurs blew their wad playing us. Back down to earth they go.

Maybe you should wait to the end of the game this time before blowing your own :lol

[Budkin]

Not worried. Pop will stop these experiments in the second half.

[Captivus]

:lol looks like the Spurs blew their wad playing us. Back down to earth they go.

......go to bed son.

[DejuanorwhatDude]

This loss will be on Pop.

[Pop]

Pop's refusal to play Baynes to give the turd tower significant minutes is frightening, it means that if for instance Boris goes down, or Tim goes down, we go midget and go home, even if we're up 3-0 in the finals, we're done, fuck that shit.

[vander]

I don't always see Patty Mills play, but when I do, he's worthless

[Splits]

sup bro, where were you last night? :lol

http://i2.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/012/073/7686178464_fdc8ea66c7.jpg

[Russ]

Minny may be bad but it looks like they're at least capable of being insulted.

[DPG21920]

Frustrating game. Bonner/Blair have not stepped up at all. Bonner needs to do something.

[Boomersgold]

I don't always see Patty Mills play, but when I do, he's worthless

Yeah, then you're obviously not a Spurs fan who watches all the games. Missed his game against Chicago, didn't you?

[ElNono]

jack!

[Robz4000]

At least Jack came to play

[BatManu20]

:lol looks like the Spurs blew their wad playing us. Back down to earth they go.

Bahahaha oh look it's the guy who completely disappeared off the face of the earth last night! GTFOH you front running ghost. And get a social life for Christ's sake. Always commenting on other team's boards when your team's not even playing.. smh. Having friends is a good thing, give it a try.

[urunobili]

lol the Spurs are pulling a reverse thunder thing tonight...

[ElNono]

lol Bonner

[Budkin]

Pop's refusal to play Baynes to give the turd tower significant minutes is frightening, it means that if for instance Boris goes down, or Tim goes down, we go midget and go home, even if we're up 3-0 in the finals, we're done, fuck that shit.

Why are people surprised about this? It was the same with Splitter 2 years ago. He doesn't play new guys that don't know the system. Period.

[ElNono]

good flop

[KaiRMD1]

:lol looks like the Spurs blew their wad playing us. Back down to earth they go.

I knew I smelled faggot

[Boomersgold]

Why are people surprised about this? It was the same with Splitter 2 years ago. He doesn't play new guys that don't know the system. Period.

Boris Diaw....

[4Dwin!]

Jack 3!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Timmy might move his hip a bit, but CJ just threw his shoulder on that screen.

[Cry Havoc]

I want to see TIago annihilate someone. Come on dude, jump like you got a pair and destroy a fool for contesting that shit.

[Cry Havoc]

What the fuck does Tiago have to do to get a whistle

[ElNono]

Cunningham can go at Bonner every night

[Budkin]

Boris Diaw....

Ok, I meant rookies.

[Cry Havoc]

The Twolves playing Game 7 of their Finals. :lmao :lmao

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Johnson is pretty athletic

[ElNono]

our offense sucks tonight... doesnt help neither Manu or Tiago are making shit

[Captivus]

Bonner enjoying his last games as an NBA player...

[Budkin]

Goddamn Wolves tappin that ass!

[ElNono]

it's a foul on tiago... smh

[phxspurfan]

lol @ the wolf sound

[Pop]

MAnu is gonna get hacked this year.

[biskvito]

tough game

[Robz4000]

My God what a letdown this game is

[Cry Havoc]

When Tiago is barking at the refs, you know something is up. Stern called this one in after last night's unexpected result. :lol

[Cry Havoc]

My God what a letdown this game is

1st half panic. :lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Too many turnovers. Good thing the Wolves are the best at giving up leads.

[RD2191]

these refs are a fukin joke

[Pop]

Can I change my username to playBaynes ? We have no rim protector and seem happy to take it up the ass.

[ElNono]

welp, we started hot and then laid an egg... considering how bad we were, the game is still within reach

[Budkin]

Talk about wasting last night's effort. Still think we win after Pop rips these guys at half. Wolves don't have enough to keep this up.

[BatManu20]

Yea this game is a bummer. Hopefully we can turn it around in the 2nd half cause this has been pretty tough to watch.

[Johnny RIngo]

Worst game Ginobili's played all season...God, he sucks tonight

[Captivus]

Wolves are tanking in the 2nd half...I hope...

[Chinook]

Green should never play with Ginobili. I have no idea why, but they just can't coexist.

[thunderup]

:lmao

[ElNono]

that kind of night

[DejuanorwhatDude]

Can't leave your perimeter d, interior d, and offense at home and expect to beat anyone.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

it all started when someone said Rubio was overrated as fuck.

[Mayhem321]

omg how many times Splitter got blocked in the first half??

[HarlemHeat37]

I've said this before, but it should be repeated after the 1st half..I have never seen a Spur receive more disrespect from the officials than Splitter does, tbh..

[KaiRMD1]

Well that was a hell of a first half for the Wolves. Is our new thing to lose to non playoff teams but beat the playoff bound ones? I can dig it.

[Splits]

Worst game Ginobili's played all season...God, he sucks tonight

I don't know, missing a free throw to lose us a game at home was pretty bad. But he has been atrocious. Splitter also having an awful game. But it is painful to watch Manu out there. He's just so wrong right now

[bklynspursfan]

10 points that quarter. Thats pretty awesome

[emanueldavidginobili]

This looks like the fucking Blazers game

[thunderup]

It would be awesome if the Spurs lost tonight. Yesterday's win for them would be all for naught since we would inevitably tie the season series with that April 4th meeting.

[Capt Bringdown]

12 TO's.

[Robz4000]

1st half panic. :lol

It's not so much the score as how bad everyone outside of Jack, Green, and CJ look. Especially Manu...

[TMTTRIO]

Manu really needs to retire when the season's done. He just has nothing left and he really doesn't seem like he's really into playing.

[4Dwin!]

Reminiscent of that pdx game. hoping for a better half.

[Captivus]

When Blair, Bonner, Diaw and other non-shooters are playing, their teammates look bad because they have to do everything.

[Johnny RIngo]

I don't know, missing a free throw to lose us a game at home was pretty bad. But he has been atrocious. Splitter also having an awful game. But it is painful to watch Manu out there. He's just so wrong right now

Sadly, Ginobili can't take over a game anymore. Just looks really slow out there. He along with Neal and the turd towers led the collapse tonight

[Spur|n|Austin]

Well this has been nice and brutal, though I feel like the officiating has been crap. I think we're gonna come out stronger in the 2nd half than we did in the Portland game. We shall see.

[Juggity]

It would be awesome if the Spurs lost tonight. Yesterday's win for them would be all for naught since we would inevitably tie the season series wi Th that April 4th meeting.

Let's be realistic. They're down 13 at the half, but the Spurs' 3 point shooting alone can easily bridge that deficit in less than a quarter. They beat a much better (and more favored) team than the Wolves last night with a defensive comeback effort. Minnesota's shooting will probably regress to the mean. So will the Spurs'.

[ElNono]

the defense was bound to suck with Tim and Kahwi out... But Pop didnt need to compound it by sending out a lineup of Mills, De Colo, Blair and Bonner, tbh

[Trainwreck2100]

this shit started when Blair took out Manu and then snowballed

[Cry Havoc]

It would be awesome if the Spurs lost tonight. Yesterday's win for them would be all for naught since we would inevitably tie the season series with that April 4th meeting.

:lmao :lmao :lmao

Regular season games.

:lmao :lmao :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

Baynes needs to get time in the 2nd half. Put him with Diaw

[ElNono]

to be fair, Jack and Green are the only Spurs playing well... Manu this, Manu that, but nobody else stepped up, tbh

[timvp]

Got damn, Manu was bad in that first half :depressed

[Pauleta14]

Relax with Manu, it's just a confidence thing.

Once he'll get the "right" rythm and feel confident PHYSICALY the rest will sort out...

[Spur|n|Austin]

Where's Playblair at? Maybe he could chime in regarding Blair's ability to do nothing but injure a teammate.

[Captivus]

Charlotte destroying Boston

[NASpurs]

Manu really needs to retire when the season's done. He just has nothing left and he really doesn't seem like he's really into playing.

You're fucking annoying with that shit. You're like ducks but with better grammar.

[Strategic]

Can't get my live feed to straighten up but it doesn't look like I missed too much.

[thunderup]

:lmao :lmao :lmao

Regular season games.

:lmao :lmao :lmao
Remember when you were jizzing all over your internet monitor against the Clips?

:lol hypocrite

[DejuanorwhatDude]

Pop obviously thinks Manu is still capable of taking over games.

[Captivus]

to be fair, Jack and Green are the only Spurs playing well... Manu this, Manu that, but nobody else stepped up, tbh

EXACTLY my point.

[dbestpro]

welp, we started hot and then laid an egg... considering how bad we were, the game is still within reach

Laying eggs is synonymous with playing Blair and Bonner.

[ElNono]

Harlem also hit the nail in the head... Tiago is going to need to start getting whistles... he's getting hacked non stop, tbh

[crc21209]

Remember when you were jizzing all over your internet monitor against the Clips?

:lol hypocrite

Where were you at last night? Nowhere to be found..

[ElNono]

Remember when you were jizzing all over your internet monitor against the Clips?

:lol hypocrite

:lol remember when you tried the "good game guys" after Danny Green cleaned your clock last night?

[Johnny RIngo]

Relax with Manu, it's just a confidence thing.

Once he'll get the "right" rythm and feel confident PHYSICALY the rest will sort out...

They've been saying that all season. Every time Manu FINALLY gets in rhythm he picks another injury. Frustrating to watch him these days.

[Spur|n|Austin]

It won't happen, Tiago had gotten no love this season.

[Nathan89]

:lmao

Spurs showed their dominance last night, tbh. It was against a decent playoff team too. Did you watch?

[Johnny RIngo]

to be fair, Jack and Green are the only Spurs playing well... Manu this, Manu that, but nobody else stepped up, tbh

Manu's -17 for the half. The lead collapsed as soon as the bench came in. Manu's the leader of the bench unit. Do the math.

[phxspurfan]

Spurs are regressing into .500 ball club territory w/o Parker. Which, coincidentally, is exactly what I predicted (lol I win).

[KaiRMD1]

It would be awesome if the Spurs lost tonight. Yesterday's win for them would be all for naught since we would inevitably tie the season series with that April 4th meeting.

http://www.myfacewhen.net/uploads/1413-butthurt.png

[Pauleta14]

Spurs are regressing into .500 ball club territory w/o Parker. Which, coincidentally, is exactly what I predicted (lol I win).

hum... and Duncan and Leonard for tonight...

and remember yesterday?

Even without Tony, the Spurs would be around 66% IMO

[ElNono]

Manu's -17 for the half. The lead collapsed as soon as the bench came in. Manu's the leader of the bench unit. Do the math.

Manu didn't play well, but only took 5 shots. Nobody outside Jack or Green played well... Bonner is +3 only because he was watching Jack nail 3 pointers... +/- is a terrible stat, tbh

[Johnny RIngo]

It would be awesome if the Spurs lost tonight. Yesterday's win for them would be all for naught since we would inevitably tie the season series with that April 4th meeting.

Incredibly retarded logic to assume SA and OKC will win every game until their next meeting.

[KaiRMD1]

Could be worse tbh, the game could be over

[ElNono]

Manu starting the 2nd half...

[Cry Havoc]

Remember when you were jizzing all over your internet monitor against the Clips?

:lol hypocrite

Yeah, that was a great playoff series.

[ElNono]

Bonner benched

[Pop]

Green trying to post up lol.

[DPG21920]

Bonner is so bad that Pop would rather do something he rarely does smh.

[Reck]

Shameful.

[Pop]

Splitter is getting completely owned.

[DPG21920]

What a defensive play by Cory!

[ElNono]

cant make a shot

[Dex]

Manu's threeball is broken. :cry

[Pauleta14]

Manu starting the 2nd half...

I was surprised he didn't start the game.

That would have been smart from Pop imo

[DPG21920]

Here comes the comeback push..

[RD2191]

game over

[ElNono]

cant make a shot

[Cry Havoc]

Are the refs going to call a foul at all on that mugging Tiago is getting? Ridiculous.

[Dex]

This game is becoming masochistic.

[Brunodf]

Splitter can't buy a foul

[RD2191]

manu has been garbage tonight

[DPG21920]

My goodness Manu Gino is awful tonight :wow. Very worrisome that he can't handle minutes like this..I pray he gets stronger as they playoffs near. He needs to play 35+MPG for the Spurs.

[Robz4000]

It's frightening how badly Manu has regressed

[ElNono]

I like it's all jumpshots from them... eventually they'll cool down... but we need to score too

[Pop]

Lol Splitter bringing his value down to earth after the best game of his career. Looks useless and absolutely unable to make anything happen in iso situations.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Spurs playing like a bunch of pussies, were getting blown out with no Love, Roy, Budinger, Pek, AK47, Josh Howard...................

[Southwest Texas Fan]

I hate trap games.

[BatManu20]

And just like that, the great feeling I had after last night's win is gone.

[phxspurfan]

My question is why is Pop trying to ride Manu tonight? Start him in the 2nd half? Come on. I know we're outgunned but he's playing like lukewarm garbage right now. MORE BONNER

[Budkin]

I know we're missing our 3 best players but this is unfuckingbelievable.

[bklynspursfan]

So many empty possessions. I thought after last night this team would come out for the kill tonight. Splitter just had the ball ripped from him by rubio. Why not give Baynes a shot why put Blair in

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Calm the fuck down about Manu. Wasn't it just a few games ago that he had a career high in assists?

Jesus...

[Pop]

Why the fuck can't Baynes get a shot in that game?

[ElNono]

Danny missed a 3.... amazing how much he regressed... :rolleyes

[Floyd Pacquiao]

damn just got home why are the spurs losing? lack of energy?

[ElNono]

can we get a call?

[DPG21920]

Calm the fuck down about Manu. Wasn't it just a few games ago that he had a career high in assists?

Jesus...

Spurs don't just need Manu once every 5 games. They need him consistently playing at a high level. He's shown great flashes, but can't string together long stretches of games.

[Johnny RIngo]

My goodness Manu Gino is awful tonight :wow. Very worrisome that he can't handle minutes like this..I pray he gets stronger as they playoffs near. He needs to play 35+MPG for the Spurs.

For the Spurs to have a shot at a championship we need Leonard to step up and become the third option. Last year's playoffs showed Ginobili doesn't have it anymore.

[ElNono]

there it is

[RD2191]

cant buy a fukin call

[Splits]

Starters had us the lead, the bench comes in and blows it. So.... to start the 2nd half play all the scrubs that put us in such a hole, then bench Splitter for Blair. Got it.

[Brunodf]

damn just got home why are the spurs losing? lack of energy?
Pop built a giant wall of confidence on the Timberwolves players by playing scrubs

[ElNono]

Spurs don't just need Manu once every 5 games. They need him consistently playing at a high level. He's shown great flashes, but can't string together long stretches of games.

not happening, IMO. that's why they'll have to rely more on Kawhi and Danny.

[DPG21920]

^Leonard will really help, but Spurs need Manu.

[ElNono]

why back to Blair, Pop? damn

[Tim_duncan21]

wow. we're down by 19

[Pop]

:pop: aka https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT1Viww4QZCc_g2Pf01d8_EmmmQshqxO HdTHCE-9g4gJ1KWHZ_q showing Baynes who is the boss, he probably piss all over his locker once in while as well to make sure he gets it.

[BatManu20]

Aaaand we're down by 20 to the Twolves..
