Game Thread: Spurs vs. Heat - Mar. 31 @ 6:00 PM CST

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

We all appreciate Manu. We just don't appreciate the fact that he's injured every other game.
I meant to say we should appreciate that Manu is not as bad as Neal yet. It does suck that he is constantly injured.

WOW KAWHI

[loveforthegame]

Leonard

[007nites]

Kawhi wants to rip the rim off

[szkorhetz]

Do it, Leo!

[wut]

Pop calling this game a lot like the Houston game....waiting way too long before putting in the starters and acting like he doesn't care about winning. If Pop really cared, he'd be yelling at guys and pulling them when they miss a defensive assignment. I miss the Pop that cares. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal defense is pathetic

[ElNono]

danny...

[spurtech09]

wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[szkorhetz]

green...

[Texas_Ranger]

amazing passes tbh

[Strategic]

green's feet glued to the floor

[timtonymanu]

Neal defense is pathetic

That was Verde that left Ray Allen

[Kyl3]

Leonard catches that pass and then Danny misses the easy one.

[spurtech09]

nOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Budkin]

Pop calling this game a lot like the Houston game....waiting way too long before putting in the starters and acting like he doesn't care about winning. If Pop really cared, he'd be yelling at guys and pulling them when they miss a defensive assignment. I miss the Pop that cares. :lol

Pop wants to show them that they didn't listen and didn't take this game seriously.

[spurtech09]

pretenders not contenders

[RD2191]

matt bonner sighting :lmao

[007nites]

Green trying to dunk on Birdman lol

[spurtech09]

green is garbage

[wut]

Pop wants to show them that they didn't listen and didn't take this game seriously.
I don't like lessons that jeopardize wins.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs suck, playoffs looking grim

[ElNono]

:lmao i hope we lose. Time for homers to wake to reality

terrible... what kind of Spurs fan are you? How losing to the Heat bench will 'wake' anybody up?

[BatManu20]

We're making Ray Allen look like he's in his prime again. Getting lay ups all over us. Jeezus

[007nites]

Kawhi dunk show

[spurtech09]

looks like Miami is gonna run away with this game

[RD2191]

getting destroyed by the corpse of ray allen :lmao

[loveforthegame]

Keep feeding Leonard.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

"Kawhi is auditioning for next years dunk contest" - Announcer :lol

[$pursDynasty]

Spurs defense is concerning, allowing alot of penetration, since the Nuggets game

[szkorhetz]

Climb back on Kawhi's back, don't try aníthing else.

[loveforthegame]

Green!! Great ball movement.

[007nites]

yes! In a kevin harlen voice.

[Budkin]

Pathetic. We deserve to lose and be mocked by the media for this.

[spurtech09]

ok finally green makes a shot

[wut]

you guys watching NBAtv are killing me, talking about the future. :P

[spurraider21]

I'm really glad Green slowed down. Thought he was gna go 1 on 2 lmao. Tim should have gone right up with that one, luckily we wound up with an open 3

[szkorhetz]

Our D is D'Antoni like.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

My god, Danny Green is so clutch from 3

[Brazil]

Heat shitting on the spurs

[RD2191]

lmao, fools gold. danny green 3s :lol

[ElNono]

verde keeps mixing good and bad with no regard for human life

[Brunodf]

Good 3, now take Bonner out and put some D there

[spurtech09]

spurs do look tired by the way

[phxspurfan]

Whatever it takes for these regular season wins. Just get HCA and head for the playoffs.

[HI-FI]

finally....things are moving.

[spurraider21]

terrible... what kind of Spurs fan are you? How losing to the Heat bench will 'wake' anybody up?

its hater, tbh

[dbreiden83080]

Pathetic. We deserve to lose and be mocked by the media for this.

Meh who cares? Spurs come out flat just like Heat did for that game in Miaimi.. Miami won barely.. Spurs lose

Whatever..

[spurtech09]

Whatever it takes for these regular season wins. Just get HCA and head for the playoffs.amen brother

[thunderup]

So you put Leonard on Ray Allen and a TO is generated out of it. That wasn't Pop, that was Leonard making that switch. Hell of a young player yall got.

[Fireball]

lmao, fools gold. danny green 3s :lol

why, now he hits them when we need them

[Spurs Brazil]

78 year old Ray Allen killing Neal/Green. Pop had to put Kawhi on him

[timtonymanu]

Alright, Green, now quit losing Ray Allen/Mike Miller every fucking possession.

[Juggity]

Danny Green isn't just streaky within a season.
He's streaky within individual games.

[hooperflash]

I swear this whole season everytime I hear that jingle ”da dada da da da da dun dun” , it's followed up by a Danny Green Tarheel Triple!

[still.focused]

Simple solution seems to switch Kawhi to Ray Allen instead of watching Danny Green get murdered

[benstanfield]

Spurstalk will explode if we lose.

:lol People who root against the Spurs so people on a message board will be wrong

[ElNono]

So you put Leonard on Ray Allen and a TO is generated out of it. That wasn't Pop, that was Leonard making that switch. Hell of a young player yall got.

We need 3 leonards though... with Green... he giveth and he taketh away

[superjames1992]

Miami's inside D is so weak.

Bonner with the plus/minus goods...

[spurtech09]

now some stops....c mon

[wut]

Good 3, now take Bonner out and put some D there

Look, Bonner creates spacing, which gets guys open. Spacing is key.....now when it comes to Bonner in the playoffs, I'm with you, but Bonner in regular season imo deserves some minutes.

[spurraider21]

spurs do look tired by the way

definitely do. doesn't bode well for us considering we play the grizz tomorrow. but i think a lot of it stems from the let-down of miami resting their horses. hard to just come up with energy if you start out this flat

[007nites]

Leonard with 5 offensive boards

[007nites]

TP!

[szkorhetz]

i love you, Kawhi!

[spurtech09]

tp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ElNono]

all tied up

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

allllll tied up

[tlongII]

Walk!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard hustles. Parker sighting.

[Juggity]

TP penetrating? What is this?

[spurtech09]

what!!!!!!foul

[superjames1992]

Bonner floor spacing is creating some good looks tbh.

[spurtech09]

tp had an and 1

[ElNono]

:lol TP travelled... but I'll take it

[Strategic]

Spurs got it!

[Obstructed_View]

Bonner is so bad.

[spurtech09]

awful

[BatManu20]

Bonner GTFO

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Bonner is such a pussy what the fuck shoot that

[ElNono]

Bonner in playoff shape already

[spurraider21]

if Bonner is in there he needs to shoot the damn ball

[timtonymanu]

Bonner hesitated like a pussy and passes it up.

[loveforthegame]

FU Bonner.

[RD2191]

lmao at out offense

[Brunodf]

Bonner still in, losing balls and his man

[szkorhetz]

Why de fuck is bonner still on court? Pop fell in love again?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

lol matt scared to get blocked

[Juggity]

How many fucking shot clock violations this game?

[RD2191]

tony with the flop

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Good news is that we didn't rely on Bonner making a 3.

[007nites]

How many fucking shot clock violations this game?

3

[Spurious]

I'll give these Miami guys credit for some pesky defensive effort. But Parker needs to turn back into one of the top players in the league these next three minutes.

[spurtech09]

everybody needs to wake up...bunch of scrubs were playing

[superjames1992]

Bonner comes in and TP can all of a sudden penetrate. Spacing tbh...

[Strategic]

looks like TD and TP will be resting tomorrow night.

[boutons_deux]

has tony taken a single jumper tonight? made one?

[BatManu20]

Dumb Tony

[Fireball]

has tony taken a single jumper tonight? made one?

yes

[szkorhetz]

Sit down, bonner.

[Kyl3]

.

[spurtech09]

refs up to there old tricks

[ElNono]

ball dont lie

[BatManu20]

Sean is such a homer haha

[007nites]

On the positive side we are destroying them on the boards 46-30

[RD2191]

these refs :lmao

[007nites]

Timmy iso play please

[loveforthegame]

Timmay!!

[Obstructed_View]

Wow, Norris Cole getting the respect of the refs. Someone needs to explain to Sean that Parker didn't have to be set for Cole to push off.

[BatManu20]

LOL Danny Green

[spurtech09]

plz refs don't screw the spurs....wtf

[spurraider21]

everybody needs to wake up...bunch of scrubs were playing

pretty perfectly mirrors the november matchup with miami, tbh. we didn't have Tim, Tony, Nau, Kawhi, Jackson, or Green, and they had everybody. We led most of the game and even late in the 4th. IN miami

[007nites]

Green -_-

[loveforthegame]

Green wtf!

[RD2191]

SON OF A BISH GREEN

[szkorhetz]

Danny.

[Johnny RIngo]

Miami's inside D is so weak.

Yup. Unfortunately, their aggresive defense on Parker has been VERY effective tonight - basically nullified our offense. Leonard attacking the basket multiple times in the fourth was a good sign though

[timtonymanu]

Of course Green doesn't finish that. FFS

[ElNono]

goddamn danny... just dont drive

[phxspurfan]

lol @ Bosh jacking up contested 3s early in the shot clock

[ElNono]

lock up on D... we can do it

[Juggity]

Danny with the predictable fast break bads

[Obstructed_View]

Danny needs to never do that unless there are no defenders in front of him.

[Arcadian]

How the fuck do we not score on a fast break with Green and Splitter? Fucking pussies.

[boutons_deux]

Bonner was obviously the spark, the key to the game :lol

[spurtech09]

refs refs refs and more refs....nfl all over again.....

[Brunodf]

:lolRefs

[Strategic]

the red rocket and the green suckit can't make a fast break. go figure

[szkorhetz]

Bring Jax back and play him on Lewis. I can't see Bonner in the court at the end of the 4th..

[spurraider21]

Green's fastbreaks hah. Luckily the dude is young. He has the length and enough athleticism to improve in that area

[RD2191]

even if we win this is embarrassing

[Spurs Brazil]

Green doesn't learn. incredible

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Why is Bonner in the game!?

[bklynspursfan]

I hate when green does that shit. Its never successful. Its as annoying as Blair putting it back up with 3/ defenders around and 22 on the shot clock

[Spur|n|Austin]

Every time Danny has a notion to take it to the rim on a fast break, he should: stop. Breath. Hold the ball, and wait for the rest of the offense. Fuck.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lmao Danny Green being Danny Green..

We need to pray that playoff defenses don't run him off the 3, tbh..

[Obstructed_View]

How the fuck do we not score on a fast break with Green and Splitter? Fucking pussies.

A. wasn't that Bonner?

B. didn't matter, because Danny didn't pass the ball, didn't draw the foul, didn't take a decent shot.

[HI-FI]

Green has white man hops tbh.

[Brunodf]

How the fuck do we not score on a fast break with Green and Splitter? Fucking pussies.
That's Bonner

[Brazil]

Green at the rim :lol

[Floyd Pacquiao]

spurs need to wake the fuck up run their sets

[Strategic]

shit

[Obstructed_View]

I hate when green does that shit. Its never successful. Its as annoying as Blair putting it back up with 3/ defenders around and 22 on the shot clock

Yep. The last automatic move by a Spur that I approved of was when Horry would get an offensive board, dribble out to the three point line, and jack one up.

[spurtech09]

ugly shots

[Brazil]

Why is Bonner in the game!?

He spreads the floor dude

[BatManu20]

Is Pop joking with keeping Bonner in the game??

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker's been garbage tonight.

[007nites]

need a fucking bucket

[ElNono]

hero with the brick... give it to TD and get a basket

[Juggity]

Norris Cole's scrubbiness is showing

[Obstructed_View]

He spreads the floor dude

And that's just his defense!

[007nites]

hero with the brick... give it to TD and get a basket

True 2 dat

[spurtech09]

ball movement

[loveforthegame]

:bang

[007nites]

hero with the brick... give it to TD and get a basket

True 2 dat

[007nites]

TIMMY!

[ElNono]

called it

[spurtech09]

Duncan on fire

[loveforthegame]

Timmayy!!!

[RD2191]

FUK THIS TEAM EXCEPT FOR TIM DUNCAN

[szkorhetz]

Timmy signature.

[HarlemHeat37]

Tony seems to be flopping more than ever as of late, tbh..

[Juggity]

holy shit, tim

[007nites]

LMFAO Timmy and Kawhi fighting

[Obstructed_View]

Is Pop joking with keeping Bonner in the game??

If you don't want the Heat to have film on you, make them think you're going to give Bonner minutes.

[RD2191]

BULLSHIT FUKIN CALL

[ElNono]

wow what a call... BULLSHIT

[Strategic]

bullshittttttttttttttt

[BatManu20]

Tony, you've had a terrible game.

Shitty call by the refs.

[Kyl3]

WHAT!!!!!!!! Foul???????!!!!!!!

[007nites]

OMFG!

[Brazil]

Allen for 3

[HI-FI]

there's your fucking NBA,

[Obstructed_View]

Joey Crawford.

[thunderup]

:lmao cHeat

[Brazil]

Apparently stern didn't like pop joke last time

[BatManu20]

Awful call but if we lose you better not blame it on that

[spurtech09]

bullshit

[szkorhetz]

Tiago is coming back, after what? 10 minutes of no playing? Fuck you, Pop!

[RD2191]

TIAGO HAS BEEN GARBAGE ALL GAME

[$pursDynasty]

Tony gets mauled and no call but Norris Crappin Cole gets that???? Screw you David Stern

[wildbill2u]

Don't knoiw why Splitter wasn't in for Bonner a long time ago.

[Brunodf]

Stern on the phone

[Bill_Brasky]

That call was fucking outrageous

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol that was one of the worst calls of all-time, tbh..

Was that Norris Cole or Kevin Durant?..

[dbreiden83080]

Joey Crawford.

How was he allowed back after that nonsense?

Just amazing..

[spurtech09]

o my this is to much already.....the replacement refs are better this

[ElNono]

Let Duncan get this...

[007nites]

TBH if it wasn't for Timmy's hero shots and Kawhi's hustle we wouldn't even be in this right now

[SpurPadre]

That bullshit call tells us one thing: had that happened to Lebron, they would've pressed charges on Kawhi for manslaughter and awarded Lebron with 10 free throws. Fucking ridiculous.

[Obstructed_View]

Awful call but if we lose you better not blame it on that

Um, Spurs up three with less than a minute go go, Cole goes in out of control and is bailed out by the refs to bring it to one with the clock stopped? If the Spurs lose, you bet your ass I'm blaming it on that.

[Spurs Brazil]

Heat scrubs gets more calls than Duncan and Parker

[BRHornet45]

rigged ass bullshit NBA. they doing everything they can to push the Heat to victory.

[AussieFanKurt]

jason phillips having a good few days

[007nites]

holds breath

[BatManu20]

Bahaha

[Obstructed_View]

:lol that was one of the worst calls of all-time, tbh..

Was that Norris Cole or Kevin Durant?..
Wasn't Joey Crawford the one who fouled Tim Duncan out because Dirk stepped on his foot in a playoff game?

[loveforthegame]

:td

[spurtech09]

game over ;(

[RD2191]

:lmao

[szkorhetz]

Bosh..

[BatManu20]

We suck

[FromWayDowntown]

Jason Phillips loves him some high profile teams.

[RD2191]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA FUK THIS TEAM

[boutons_deux]

spurs just fucking suck

[Juggity]

What the fuck

[Texas_Ranger]

well that sucked

[BRHornet45]

shot should have never happened. the officials helped get them there

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker and Pop - holy shit, did they both suck tonight

[szkorhetz]

Fuck this shit.

[DAF86]

lol fuck this shit.

[dbreiden83080]

Ah well..


Nobody watch first take tomorrow..

[RD2191]

TRADE DUNCAN TO THE HEAT, HE DESERVES BETTER THAN THIS GARBAGE

[hooperflash]

Can we hire refs that are not divas and can fix their bad calls during the game and not after the games.. cuz what's good is an apology?

[superjames1992]

Pop takes Bonner out and it all goes to shit tbh.

[spurtech09]

over....die by the refs killed by the refs

[szkorhetz]

Heat System>>>Spurs System

[tlongII]

LOL!

[Obstructed_View]

Awful call but if we lose you better not blame it on that

What say you now? If not for that play, the game's tied.

[wildbill2u]

Let Green take the final shot. He needs the experience

[thunderup]

Regardless of the outcome, none of this happens had the cHeat not gotten that blatant call.

[RD2191]

DONT WORRY GUYS, REG SEASON DONT MATTER, LMFAO

[loveforthegame]

:lol

[007nites]

Heat acting like they won the championship

[superjames1992]

Lol Tony that shit was awful...

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Wow, we lose to these fuckers again.

[HI-FI]

Regardless of the outcome, none of this happens had the cHeat not gotten that blatant call.

true. Refs were typical Stern stooges. and Parker was typical faux french fag playoff mode.

[Bill_Brasky]

Lol, Spurs had it locked up until the "foul" call on Norris fucking Cole.

[wut]

thank you refs...you've made it abundantly clear that Spurs are to win only based on miracles.

[Spurious]

Just a poor performance. No excuse for it. Yeah, it's the NBA, there's all pros...blah, blah, blah. But one of the worst TP games I've seen in a very long time.

[Strategic]

just one game.

[dbreiden83080]

What a joke of a game..

Just put it out of your minds..

[spurtech09]

Regardless of the outcome, none of this happens had the cHeat not gotten that blatant call.
agree.....spurs have been dealing with this the last couple of games

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol blaming the refs for losing to the Heat without Lebron and Wade is pathetic, tbh..

The game should have never been this close..

[SpurPadre]

Let's not blame the call on the loss, letting it get this close and losing to a crippled Heats team pretty much cinches the deal for Miami barring an injury. It's just their year and this was the worst loss of the season.

[Spurs Brazil]

Pathetic.

[timtonymanu]

Yeah the call was shitty, but the Spurs basically reassured us everything that is wrong with them.

They'll be lucky to get past the 2nd round.

[Texas_Ranger]

shut the fuck up about the refs.... The Spurs played like shit and thats all.

[Strategic]

Duncan takes a poor shot on one end and then loses bosh on the defense. oh well

[timtonymanu]

Yeah the call was shitty, but the Spurs basically reassured us everything that is wrong with them.

They'll be lucky to get past the 2nd round.

[Juggity]

The spurs brought the loss on themselves. It shouldn't have been this close.

A bad call at the end of the game changed the outcome, but let's be honest; Tony Parker lost this game.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

lol this would happen wouldnt it

[KaiRMD1]

That was an awful game, we losing tomorrow. The fire is gone tbh

[Spurious]

If you're at home and have to rely on "even" officiating to pull out a win against a short-handed opponent, take it for what it is: a game you really can't complain about if you lose.

[Brunodf]

That refs 30 points swing killing us tbh...Backcourt sucking didn't help

[Obstructed_View]

So earlier in the season, the Spurs would run plays where they'd share the ball, move it around and get a good shot off a pass. Lately, they seem to be isolating one guy in a bad spot who just moves around and takes a contested jumper off the dribble. What happened to the ball movement and the passing?

[FromWayDowntown]

That game should have never come down to a call. The Spurs were absolutely terrible most of the second half and got what they deserved in the end.

[szkorhetz]

Pop being outcoached by Spoelstra. I just can believe this shit.

[still.focused]

Greens horrible defensive once again

[weebo]

the heat just wanted this more than the spurs...you could see they were playing at a different speed....sean called it ...the spurs were just going through the motions

[spurtech09]

yeah spurs should of blown out the heat but you have to blame this on the refs......and im afraid this is not going to stop either........its goning to travel into the play offs...spurs don't have a chance at all with the refs screwing things up
