Game Thread: Spurs vs. Nuggets - April 10th @ 9:30 PM CST

[loveforthegame]

FU Blair.

[EVAY]

Dammit, Blair.

[Darius McCrary]

Fucking horrible court awareness by Blair. Had a layup

[rold50]

fin blair

[timtonymanu]

:lol Who was the worst player in that lineup? Discuss.

[SupremeGuy]

My eyes are bleeding. What is this, I don't even...

[RD2191]

fuk splitter, let that homo walk

[LakerHater]

Terrible lineUp!!

[spurraider21]

CoJo looks overwhelmed out there

[hater]

HOLY FUCK

Blair wide open and manages to travel!!!!

get his ass out!

[boutons_deux]

Come on Spurs, get 30 pts by halftime! :lol

[TheGoldStandard]

Shitty pick and pop decision.. why is splitter getting the ball at the top of the key?

[RD2191]

:lmao

[BatManu20]

How the hell do we only have 23 points when we scored 16 in the first 5 minutes?!

[spurs1990]

Comedy of errors. Pop trying to win this game wtf??

[Darius McCrary]

Miller is back in. Ugh

[wut]

I think I might be better off sleeping than watching this game.

[LakerHater]

Get Blair out!

[RD2191]

lmfao tiago is a pussy

[TheGoldStandard]

Tiago with the soft hook shot.. damn, what a waste of a big body

[timtonymanu]

:lol Leonard = Faried, according to Hubie.

[Captivus]

kmon NDC! Do something besides passing the ball to another player!

[hater]

:lmao

this is

I don't even

[Yuixafun]

Forneaux's movements remind me of Ginobili

[BatManu20]

Listening to Hubie Brown talk for a whole game is like running a cheese grader across your face over and over.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Splitter still cant finish

[loveforthegame]

:(

[timtonymanu]

Splitter is forming a vagina again. That contract extension is slowly dropping.

[spurraider21]

Patty the enforcer :lol

[stxspurs]

mills being the goon!

[DesignatedT]

Gosh Splitter is pathetic at times. There's our $10m/yr Center.

[Darius McCrary]

Of one ignored the fact that Hubie called Fareid by the name of Leonard, he was right to call out splitter for being soft.

Splitter hasn't played well for like a month now

[spurraider21]

Splitter is forming a vagina again. That contract extension is slowly dropping.

cia pop telling him to play poorly down the stretch


on another note: flagrant? pussified league

[TheGoldStandard]

Well, it was bound to happen. Bye bye lead

[jestersmash]

Pop is pissed.

[Darius McCrary]

I love hubie brown.

[EVAY]

Splitter has to act like a man at some point.

[stxspurs]

flagrant....wack!

[LakerHater]

Flagrant!?

[therealtruth]

It will be pretty pathetic if the Spurs allow the Nuggets to spot them 14 points and still lose the game.

[phxspurfan]

hey, Mills is an excellent defender lol

[TheGoldStandard]

Al Jefferson looking more and more likely this offseason

[loveforthegame]

Splitter shitting the bed again.

Blair and Bonner need to gtfo.

Flagrant? Spurs better challenge that.

[superjames1992]

Patty Cakes is a dirty mfer.

[BatManu20]

Flagrant?? Are you kidding me?! This league is so fucking soft!

[bklynspursfan]

Smh....

[EVAY]

Calling that flagrant is bs.

[capek]

Things are getting fucking bizarre :bang

[hater]

flagrant??

:lol

[RD2191]

:downspin:

[LakerHater]

Jus pissed away the lead!

[Bill_Brasky]

Flagrant???

Another foul?

[TheGoldStandard]

And nobody can rebound.

[timtonymanu]

:lol Splitter.

:lol forming a vagina before the playoffs

[hater]

Pop wanna get tossed. he's had enough

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Will Splitter's next shot be a running hook or a shot from his chest followed by complaining to an official?

[phxspurfan]

Leonard playing like dog doodoo

[RD2191]

what a pathetic performance

[stxspurs]

rebound would be fuckin nice....they are just watching the damn ball

[EVAY]

No rebounding anymore.

[loveforthegame]

Spurs getting outhustled to all the balls.

[timtonymanu]

Need Kawhi to get hot now.

[Darius McCrary]

Splitter sucks. I wish diaw were healthy so pop could rip him a new one and bench his ass.

Does splitter even try to rebound anyone????

[EVAY]

Where's Tim? There's only 5 minutes left in the half.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

kawhi needs to step up

[Fireball]

Pop should quit whining ... he could have put Duncan in way earlier ...

[DesignatedT]

Yeah. Kawhi needs to drop in 20 tonight if we want to win. He needs to look for his shot.

[TheGoldStandard]

Splitter sipping his own Kool-Aid.. he'll be a wizard by next year.

[stxspurs]

blair too worried about his 50k debt

[loveforthegame]

They're not even looking for Leonard.

[Darius McCrary]

Pop must stagger kawhi and Duncan's minutes.

Kawhi must play alpha male when he's on the court.

[TheGoldStandard]

Nope, De Colo is predictable.. get the ball, freeze the ball.. then pass to someone coming up on a screen

[DAF86]

Duncan in with 5 minutes remaining. What's the reasoning behind this?

[crc21209]

:lol At that flagrant foul call. Pussy ass NBA...

[Fireball]

Duncan in with 5 minutes remaining. What's the reasoning behind this?

Pop being paranoid now with Diaw injured as well ...

[thunderup]

:lol the Nuggets should be ashamed.

[crc21209]

Denver looks pretty bad too tbh...

[TheGoldStandard]

So, how about a big this offseason with some cap space?

[apalisoc_9]

Why the phuck does phaggot danny green thinks he's better at the pick in roll than leonard? :bang..really surprsing but leonard gets most of his shots when he's actaully playing with the big 3...

[DAF86]

Pop being paranoid now with Diaw injured as well ...

Oh yeah I forgot that he's smarter than anybody else.

[timtonymanu]

:lol the Nuggets should be ashamed.

The Clippers and Grizzlies are a more challenging opponent for y'all at this point than the Spurs/Nuggets.

[Fireball]

Splitter is not useful without Manu or TP ... well, what a surprise

[Budkin]

This team is not good in its current state.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[Fireball]

Oh yeah I forgot that he's smarter than anybody else.

I would not have a problem with Timmy playing 38 minutes this game ... he looks fine

[timtonymanu]

This team is not good in its current state.

Water is wet, tbh.

[RD2191]

this team is looking more and more like a first round exit

[Budkin]

Kawhi shoots over 3 defenders. WTF

[Darius McCrary]

Splitter, Jesus

[Budkin]

this team is looking more and more like a first round exit

Uh, they're missing 5 players.

[EVAY]

this team is looking more and more like a first round exit

Without Tony, Manu and Diaw we probably would be.

[RD2191]

Uh, they're missing 5 players.
nuggs missing 2

[loveforthegame]

Splitter sighting.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

He made it but I hate that fucking hook

[Budkin]

This game is fugly.

[TheGoldStandard]

Tiago doesn't want to work anymore.. Hasn't even tried to get into the players body. Ugly ass hook shot

[timtonymanu]

nuggs missing 2

5>2

Their bench > our bench

You're really dumb, tbh.

[Darius McCrary]

Denver getting fast break opportunities with ease against the Duncan/Splitter lineup

[Budkin]

nuggs missing 2

So, we're missing 5.

[EVAY]

This shouldn't have been allowed to get this bad, and that is on Pop for waiting so damn long to put the first team back in.

[crc21209]

:lol Chandler with the typical "balla" mentality getting ahead of himself thinking about the dunk instead of the pass first...

[freetiago]

What ails Tiago Splitter? tbh
bad hands bad passes so far tonight

bench is playing as expected
popovich with the worst lineup in nba history isnt helping
but theyre still below the low expectations i had

Spurs living and dying by Tim Duncan mid range shots per par

[Budkin]

5>2

Their bench > our bench

You're really dumb, tbh.

This

[RD2191]

lmao, you losers trying to justify this garbage team

[Fireball]

What ails Tiago Splitter? tbh
bad hands bad passes so far tonight

bench is playing as expected
popovich with the worst lineup in nba history isnt helping
but theyre still below the low expectations i had

Spurs living and dying by Tim Duncan mid range shots per par

he plays best with Manu or TP on the p&r ... why is everybody surprised he is struggling with both of them out the last weeks

[Brazil]

Green is playin pg?

[wut]

ESPN's telecast sounds like an apology infomercial....but wait there's more (Denver is about to play better...I swear!)

[Budkin]

lmao, you losers trying to justify this garbage team

Without all those players we are indeed garbage. With all of them we are currently leading the West.

[loveforthegame]

Another Splitter sighting.

[LakerHater]

REBOUND!!

[Budkin]

BOX FUCKING OUT!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Rebound maybe? Just a thought.

[EVAY]

Duncan and Splitter both there and Denver gets the offensive rebound.

[LakerHater]

Tiago!~

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

wow 2 contested layups in a row!

[timtonymanu]

Splitter regaining some balls. We need him.

[RD2191]

splitt waking up

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop needs to "Teddy Atlas' the entire bench.

[EVAY]

De Colo fought for that rebound.

[Cry Havoc]

First game I've been able to watch in a while! Let's go Spurs!

[aal04]

spurs bench 2/13 and 1/7

We are not deep.

[loveforthegame]

Splitter defrosting?

[Budkin]

Pop pissed at that foul.

[RD2191]

garbage call

[Bill_Brasky]

Splitter eurostep?

[wut]

2nd quarter filled with bogus home calls for denver

[RD2191]

kawhi needs to wake up in the 2nd half

[Budkin]

Move the ball timmy

[Cry Havoc]

This game is our pace. Gotta love it.

[timtonymanu]

Leonard needs to get himself into this game.

[capek]

What a fuggly game. Christ

[loveforthegame]

Thank goodness it's the half. Please regroup and play better in the second.

[LakerHater]

Ugly 2nd Period!

[EVAY]

This game is our pace. Gotta love it.

Maybe not so much at a mile high altitude though

[SupremeGuy]

Holy shit. I feel bad for Duncan. He's surrounded by crap right now.

[bklynspursfan]

2nd half, only way we pull this off is if our 3's start to fall, plain and simple. 1-10 and at least 5 of them were wide open.

[DesignatedT]

If the Spurs find a way to win this game it would be pretty remarkable.

[wut]

With the lineups Pop played, Spurs lose by 16...that's my prediction and going to bed. :)

[Brunodf]

Poor Duncan, gets no help

[Fireball]

spurs bench 2/13 and 1/7

We are not deep.

we only were deep the last seasons because we kept better players out ogf the starting lineup ... with Manu MIA this season the bench looks horrible

[EVAY]

2nd half, only way we pull this off is if our 3's start to fall, plain and simple. 1-10 and at least 5 of them were wide open.

And players tend to start getting scared of the three when it is not falling. Thing is, it is just not happening going to the basket, and bodes ill for our second squad doing any better in the second half.

[Brunodf]

spurs bench 2/13 and 1/7

We are not deep without TP/Manu/Jack/Diaw.
Agree

[boutons_deux]

will Spurs score 20 pts in 3rd or 4th quarters?

both teams shooting 36%, hot shot WC playoff teams.

Spurs make a lot of totally pointless passes, as if you score points for number of passes. fucking stupid

[apalisoc_9]

Green should never be allowed to dribble the ball or make a layup:bang

[Robz4000]

Can't see the game but the score doesn't look too bad. Who's sucking and who's playing well?

[Fireball]

Kawhi was invisible, but he has 8 Reb while Timmy only has 2

[timtonymanu]

Can't see the game but the score doesn't look too bad. Who's sucking and who's playing well?

Duncan is the only decent Spur playing. Everyone else is below average or just plain terrible.

[Fireball]

Can't see the game but the score doesn't look too bad. Who's sucking and who's playing well?

Tim Duncan played great the 1st quarter ... forget everyone and everything else

[TheGoldStandard]

Green should never be allowed to dribble the ball or make a layup:bang

The rim pretty much makes sure that doesn't happen.

[apalisoc_9]

Kawhi was invisible, but he has 8 Reb while Timmy only has 2

Yeah, try blaming it on the scrubs..I've been saying it all along, the big 3 recognizes kawhi..it's guys like green who think they're better.

[boutons_deux]

As usual, no 3Gs, no W

[timtonymanu]

Blazers/Lakers game is the complete opposite of our game. :lol

[DAF86]

If Pop tries the Spurs win this game.

And by try I mean playing a reasonable rotation (not playing Mills, Neal, Joseph, Bonner and Blair at the same time, not leaving Duncan for more than half an hour sitting on the bench, etc.)

[TheGoldStandard]

It really doesn't take a genius to coach the Spurs.

[Fireball]

As usual, no 3Gs, no W

bullshit ... Spurs play better this year without the 3 than the previous seasons

[Fireball]

Blazers/Lakers game is the complete opposite of our game. :lol

ESPN :lol

[bklynspursfan]

And players tend to start getting scared of the three when it is not falling. Thing is, it is just not happening going to the basket, and bodes ill for our second squad doing any better in the second half.

Yea... Neal is a guy that can get it going he doesn't shy away from shooting even if he's cold. We don't have TP or Manu for that matter who can drive in and at least get their bigs in foul trouble.

If Kawhi stays this quiet, unless Duncan/Splitter can dominate their bigs, we need some 3's

[Fireball]

what has Pop to lose in a game like this if he plays Baynes a few minutes? I mean he played Cojo, Mills, Neal, Blair and Bonner together ...

[LittleCriminal]

Getting fucking tired of seeing Blair suck ass.... Glad this is his last season here.

[Robz4000]

Duncan is the only decent Spur playing. Everyone else is below average or just plain terrible.

So same shit, different game. Great.

[bklynspursfan]

If we can start the 3rd the way we started the 1st, I'd be pretty thrilled.

[superjames1992]

1/10 from three-point range.

[bklynspursfan]

what has Pop to lose in a game like this if he plays Baynes a few minutes? I mean he played Cojo, Mills, Neal, Blair and Bonner together ...

Yup. We need someone to be physical with their bigs.

[TheGoldStandard]

I wonder what it would take to have David come out for 10 minutes a game.

[loveforthegame]

Rebound!!

Leonard with the miracle. :lol

[LakerHater]

WOW Kawhi!

[RD2191]

:lmao

[LakerHater]

Miller got to the hole to easy!

[bklynspursfan]

Duncan needs to do a better job on the boards...

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Koufos is beating Timmy for rebounds this quarter

That flair screen play is pretty nice

[loveforthegame]

Koufus keeping Duncan off the boards. smh

[crc21209]

Miller crying for calls. Idiot...

[loveforthegame]

Green nice. :tu

[LakerHater]

WoW Green!

[RD2191]

:cry

[Darius McCrary]

Daniel, YOU DID IT

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

OH MY

[loveforthegame]

Nasty Splitter!

[Joyrider]

Splitter :wow

[LakerHater]

Kawhi!!!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. :tu

[bklynspursfan]

3 days off Did Splitter well

[Joyrider]

Leonard is playing some unbelievable defense right now.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

De Colo is doing okay when he is guarding Miller in the post.

[Darius McCrary]

Kawhi hurt his hand on that dunk


Why does Duncan refuse to jump against that white guy for rebounds???

[Splits]

As much as we complain about finishing on the break, multiple successful trips in a row now

[Bill_Brasky]

Shoulda given it up to Kawhi

[Fireball]

ok, Pop rested Spurs starters the first half to run more in the second ... I take it

[loveforthegame]

Leonard, Splitter, and Green playing more agreessively.

[RD2191]

kawhi plays so awkward but is somehow still good

[TheGoldStandard]

Leonard, Splitter, and Green playing more agreessively.

And now here comes Gary Neal

[Nathan Explosion]

I'm going to say that while I'm not totally thrilled with our backup PGs, if I had to choose one going into the playoffs, it's Nando. Joseph is a active defender but smallish, and Mills can get hot but is not a good defender. However, Nando has good size, is a good passer and just doesn't seem to be too affected by his weaknesses (namely speedy PGs). He seems to be getting better and better and I don't dread any 3 he takes anymore, although I don't have full confidence in his shot yet.

Again, it's still a tight race due to no one stepping up and taking the role for themselves, but yeah.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard with 10 rebounds and 3 steals. :tu

[milkyway21]

LAL vs Portland neck to neck in the 4th

[01Snake]

Lillard is a beast.

[LittleCriminal]

Please Pop put Blair In!!

[Fireball]

Please Pop put Blair In!!

what? Blair sucked big time in the 1st half

[RD2191]

:downspin:

[RD2191]

:lmao

[LakerHater]

Travel???

[01Snake]

Enough with the damn hook shot

[loveforthegame]

2 steps forward and 5 back.

[RD2191]

smh

[LakerHater]

Timmeh!!

[loveforthegame]

Green omg.

[loveforthegame]

smh

[RD2191]

LOL

[RD2191]

fukin joke

[LakerHater]

DAMN, even contested!

[crc21209]

Nuggets small ball BS killing us...

[RD2191]

:downspin::downspin:

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

We call a timeout and they go on a 7-0 run? wtf?

[crc21209]

Weak call...

[RD2191]

game over, fuk this team

[loveforthegame]

Spurs getting out hustled again.

[crc21209]

Portland choking dick...

[Darius McCrary]

Is there any doubt LAL wins tonight?

[bklynspursfan]

Offense continues to struggle, 40-27 rebounding advantage including 15 offensive. Smh...

[timtonymanu]

game over, fuk this team

Shut up, vagina.

[loveforthegame]

Neal sighting.

[RD2191]

Shut up, vagina.
:lmao

[Cry Havoc]

Neaaaaal

[loveforthegame]

Damn Joseph.

[Darius McCrary]

Duncan looks very slow on defense and in the boards
Did he get hurt or what

[bklynspursfan]

Denver is small and Pop has Blair out there.

[loveforthegame]

Blair. :lol

[RD2191]

lmao, scrub defense

[Joyrider]

Anyone hears the guys in the background of the ESPN broadcast right now? :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Blair :lol

[crc21209]

Why the fuck is Pop going with Splitter/Blair to defend the hot hand in Chandler? What an idiot...

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Anyone hears the guys in the background of the ESPN broadcast right now? :lol
The guy who said "Sit Down! Put your shirt on!" ?

[Fireball]

why did Timmy not get one jumper this quarter ... he was automatic with it in the 1st

[crc21209]

Portland. What an embarrasing team. Put up 41 points in the 1st. Only 10 so far in the 4th...:td

[Cry Havoc]

Portland. What an embarrasing team. Put up 41 points in the 1st. Only 10 so far in the 4th...:td

And they're only down 4 with ball. :lol

[Joyrider]

The guy who said "Sit Down! Put your shirt on!" ?

That and a few other lines. I heard a few fuck you bombs and something about Texas scrubs. Couldn't mic them out.

[LittleCriminal]

what? Blair sucked big time in the 1st half

I was being sarcastic... Blair sux man ass and I can't wait till he's off the dam team.

[Fireball]

Portland. What an embarrasing team. Put up 41 points in the 1st. Only 10 so far in the 4th...:td

They only play through against the Spurs

[apalisoc_9]

that's what happens when you give green that much touches..LMAOL. 11 shots and still in the third quarter

[Fireball]

I was being sarcastic... Blair sux man ass and I can't wait till he's off the dam team.

blue font next time :lol

[Pop]

The team is showing some flashes of possibly being a very very good half court team, especially loves KY crashing the offensive board like he does, I used to think he played too far away from the basket most of the time.

But next thing you know you got Danny Green asking for a screen at the top of the key and trying to drive or Tiago looking like a woman in the post throwing his ugly hook over his shoulder and you don't know what to think anymore.

[RD2191]

boom

[RD2191]

lmfao

[RD2191]

:downspin:

[bklynspursfan]

Stops.........

[Spursfanfromafar]

Portland is tanking and playing without Batum, Hickson and Mathews. They already had the worst bench in the league and have four rookies in the starting lineup. That the Fakers had to struggle this hard to be in a position to beat Portland is what makes it immensely funny.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[loveforthegame]

Duncan getting owned now. :(

[LakerHater]

Go stronger Tim!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

This game is over

[superjames1992]

Wow, that was sad, Timmy...
