Game Thread: Spurs vs. Cavaliers - Mar. 16 @ 7:30 PM CST

[Budkin]

Manu's stats must be wrong. Half this forum thinks he's a scrub that belongs in the D-League, tbh.

It's the stupid passes and turnovers he's been making.

[timtonymanu]

Borisssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Juggity]

TD-Kawhi tandem is deaaaadly

[loveforthegame]

Leonard just finds ways to make things happen. :tu

[HI-FI]

fucking badass. Kawhi with the Godsend goods.

[weeks]

YES
B DUBZZZ

[milkyway21]

enough of manu hate it's not funny anymore
thank u for that pass manu :angel 103 109 spurs

[Pop]

Boris fucking Diaw.

[Rito3d30]

Diaw:wow

[ElNono]

Suckobili now trying to pad his assists... disgusting

[HarlemHeat37]

Green can't allow scrubs to continuously blow by him, tbh..

[AussieFanKurt]

rofl fatty got hops

[superjames1992]

It's the stupid passes and turnovers he's been making.
9 assists, 3 turnovers. Not great, but not as bad as you make it out to be. 3:1 assist/TO ratio is decent.

[timtonymanu]

Still enough time for a meltdown. Keep playing, Spurs.

[Capt Bringdown]

First dunk of Diaw's career?

[bklynspursfan]

Will TD get 30?

[ElNono]

Green can't allow scrubs to continuously blow by him, tbh..

story of the game, tbh

[AussieFanKurt]

story of the game, tbh

and his career

[ElNono]

Great Block!

[timtonymanu]

First dunk of Diaw's career?

rofl he wasn't always fat. He dunked back in his scrawny days.

[ElNono]

Timmy just owning the paint

[bklynspursfan]

This is what I mean. Why keep going to the pick and roll, just go to Tim in the post when he's in a rhythm like this. It makes no sense

[timtonymanu]

Good to see spry Timmy back! We desperately need him for the playoffs.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Duncan going for 30.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan carrying the team on both ends like it's '03, tbh..

[Uriel]

I've had enough of these close games against crap teams.

[ElNono]

This is what I mean. Why keep going to the pick and roll, just go to Tim in the post when he's in a rhythm like this. It makes no sense

wasting clock... notice they posted him right away in the previous play

[spurraider21]

:wow Duncan has a higher FT% than Manu on the season :wow

[ElNono]

Duncan carrying the team on both ends like it's '03, tbh..

yep

[Strategic]

Nice late game leadership for The Big Fundamental!!!

[freetiago]

seems like in the Duncanball games where he puts up gaudy stats it comes down to the wire
Jazz game
Nuggets
Dallas
Cavs

[timtonymanu]

I've had enough of these close games against crap teams.

You take it if you avoid losing or getting an injury

[Pop]

:wow Duncan has a higher FT% than Manu on the season :wow

That's pretty crazy.

Manu is gonna get hacked in the playoffs lol.

[Capt Bringdown]

51 points and 24 boards from Leonard and TD.

[crc21209]

First dunk of Diaw's career?

He actually had 2-3 others this season already...

[Juggity]

:wow Duncan has a higher FT% than Manu on the season :wow

TD just proving he is immortal tbh

[jestersmash]

I've had enough of these close games against crap teams.

I want more. Our team learns much more from close games against bad teams than they do from blowout wins.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

As long as we keep grinding it out, I'm sure our team will figure out the defense eventually.

[loveforthegame]

51 points and 24 boards from Leonard and TD.

They've really led the team tonight.

[ElNono]

Suckobili sending this game to overtime

[timtonymanu]

Cavs, fucking just tank the game.

[crc21209]

Manu with det FT shooting...

[ElNono]

Tim beast

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Thanks for the win Timmy

[KaiRMD1]

Luke Walton is still in the NBA? I didn't think anybody would be stupid enough to add him to their roster.......but he's on the cavs so go figure

[Southwest Texas Fan]

And another block!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you Cavaliers. - Tim Duncan

[Mayhem321]

First dunk of Diaw's career?

I remember him posterizing Dirk in 06 WCF and he was already fat.

[ElNono]

Suckobili on the court, Kawhi misses freebie! Cursed I say!

[bklynspursfan]

wasting clock... notice they posted him right away in the previous play

Eh. I'd rather keep putting pressure on the defense than trying to run the clock out. We almost lost against Dallas cause they couldn't get any good looks down the stretch.

[freetiago]

Ginobili 4-7 from the line
he gave all he had left for Argentina tbh
last season was his best efficiency season too

[siraulo23]

duncan won this game

[Strategic]

Timmy ain't gonna let his team give this one up.

[ElNono]

duncan won this game

[Capt Bringdown]

Shitty game. But another waybacktimemachine TD performance, so it was worth it.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Luke Walton is still in the NBA? I didn't think anybody would be stupid enough to add him to their roster.......but he's on the cavs so go figure
He's still on the deal that the Lakers gave him

[Cry Havoc]

Vintage Duncan. :flag: :flag: :flag:

[mrjap2x]

Timmy ain't gonna let his team give this one up.
GOATPUFF stuff

[ElNono]

when your best player is out, you take every win... ugly or not

[Arcadian]

30 points, 12 rebounds, 5 blocks, 4 assists, 13/19 FGs, 34 minutes

God-like

[Splits]

Luke Walton is still in the NBA? I didn't think anybody would be stupid enough to add him to their roster.......but he's on the cavs so go figure

And he's +19 :lol thier Bonner

[loveforthegame]

Leonard:

24 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 turnover, 2 steals, 2 blocks

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Ginobili stat padding his assists

[superjames1992]

MANU STAT PADDING DOUBLE-DOUBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[superjames1992]

MANU: 14 POINTS, 10 ASSISTS

[freetiago]

Leonard +25
Duncan +20
Splitter +16

Bench -12 to -18
Ginobili got his +6 since he got to tag along

[Southwest Texas Fan]

They finally put them away.

[ElNono]

called it, tbh

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you Speights! Fuck you Ellington! Fuck you Cleveland scrubs! We win!

[bklynspursfan]

3 spurs with a double double on that last play lol

And only gave up 23 points that quarter.

[RD2191]

damn

[Strategic]

That should make three double doubles for the Good Guys.

[blkroadrunners]

Fuck you Speights! Fuck you Ellington! Fuck you Cleveland scrubs! We win!

:lol

[Capt Bringdown]

Leonard is ready to step forward into a leadership role.
Manu is ready to step back into a supporting role. SuperManu no more.
Leonard/TD/TP = the new and improved Big Three.

[Budkin]

Tim motherfucking Duncan.

[timtonymanu]

:lol

:lol The Cavs' hot shooting plus the Spurs' shitty play for most of the night made me need to vent.

[Brunodf]

TIM DUNCAN A+

[BatManu20]

MANU: 14 POINTS, 10 ASSISTS

Haters gonna hate.

[crc21209]

So would we rather play the Warriors, Rockets, or Lakers? I don't see the Jazz or Mavs getting in tbh...

[Robz4000]

I'll never get tired of watching Timmy, even if he does become a TOSB.

[BatManu20]

I curse the day Timothy Duncan retires.

[Splits]

Duncan with back to back huge games carrying us to wins. Basically playoff Duncan is showing flashes.

[loveforthegame]

I curse the day Timothy Duncan retires.

[KaiRMD1]

So would we rather play the Warriors, Rockets, or Lakers? I don't see the Jazz or Mavs getting in tbh...

All of the above, champions don't avoid anyone

[Strategic]

Leonard interview is on.

[blkroadrunners]

:lol The Cavs' hot shooting plus the Spurs' shitty play for most of the night made me need to vent.

I really thought this game would be a blowout.

[Strategic]

Leonard interview was short and sweet.

[TDfan2007]

Timmy with an absolutely incredible game. Manu played better tonight. Leonard was just awesome. Green...wow...that was some of the worst defense I've ever seen by an NBA player.

[milkyway21]

anybody pls post that manu 2nd qtr 2:45 dunk? :wow awesome

[spectator]

Timmy with an absolutely incredible game. Manu played better tonight. Leonard was just awesome. Green...wow...that was some of the worst defense I've ever seen by an NBA player.

are you sure you were not watching manu? if the cavs ever wanted to create separation, they simply went straight at manu. can't even hide his slow poke ass on defense.

[crc21209]

Seriously, theres times when Green can play some good D. But then there's nights like tonight where he gives his man waay too much room and he gets burned easily. What gives?

[Strategic]

Seriously, theres times when Green can play some good D. But then there's nights like tonight where he gives his man waay too much room and he gets burned easily. What gives?Green has the ability to play defense, just sometimes he's a "now you see me, now you don't" defender.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Pop blasting the team in the post interview.

[milkyway21]

If Duncan and Manu will retire I might not watch the NBA anymore

[TDfan2007]

are you sure you were not watching manu? if the cavs ever wanted to create separation, they simply went straight at manu. can't even hide his slow poke ass on defense.

Manu was scrambling to help others out a lot tonight, and he was also making poor decisions in terms of gambling for steals. Green was just playing traffic cone defense.

[Bruno]

I've liked what De Colo did, I've rarely see him playing as hard as that on the defensive end. Saying that, it's unreal to see Pop still changing hierarchy at each games after 65 games played.

[DapDaGenius]

I have full confidence in Jackson's 3 now. 1-5, and I was worried I couldn't trust his 3's anymore. :lmao

[Pop]

If by unreal you mean retarded then yes.

And Baynes could really help with the rebounding and rim protection when Tim is sitting.

[TampaDude]

Wow...a shootout...it's still a win, though.

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[td4mvp21]

Gotta love Tim Duncan.

[hooperflash]
