Game Thread: Spurs vs. Kings - April 12 @ 7:30 PM CT

[HarlemHeat37]

Sacramento has lost 4 out of 5, Spurs have lost 4 out of 6..

Spurs beat them by 28 in their last matchup and have won 25 of the last 27 games vs. the Kings..

There will be a massive meltdown if the Spurs lose this game, and possibly even a mini-meltdown if the game is close at the end:lol..

[timtonymanu]

:lol tbh, at this point with all the shitty news we've had the past few weeks, a Kings loss wouldn't even bother me. I didn't even care about the Nuggets loss.

At this point, I just want our team to be healthy. Our toughness dropped a bit, but maybe Jack's departure will refocus the team if he really caused drama behind the scenes.

[baseline bum]

Fuck this shit. Lose out and pray for Houston to take care of business and hold onto the 7 seed.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Fuck this shit. Lose out and pray for Houston to take care of business and hold onto the 7 seed.

FUCK that, we need some hairs on our balls as of late, especially since the latest news. It's time to play like you would in the playoffs and keep it running.

I'm predicting a blowout; I won't be watching and the 4 games I haven't watched this season have been blowouts of the other teams.. Maybe I won't watch the playoffs.

Nah shut it down so no more injuries can fuck this team.

[TheGoldStandard]

Jimmer goes for 30 tonight, the way the Spurs season has been going it's possible.

[CitizenDwayne]

In times like these, it's important to remember: at least we're not Lakers fans.

This one will go down to the wire, I predict.

The Red Mamba takes care of business.

[timtonymanu]

This game just got more interesting.

Obviously Bill and Sean may be a bit conservative about Stephen Jackson, but I wonder what they will say. Plus if Jack was causing so many problems, I wonder if we will see a more focused Spurs team tonight.

[freetiago]

Andrew "fan favorite" Monaco
"despite all the injuries the bench has amazingly remained consistent at scoring"

spurmedia cant get any dumber tbh

[HarlemHeat37]

Sean is usually pretty loose with subtle inside information, tbh, I wonder if he will drop any tonight..

[EVAY]

Sean is usually pretty loose with subtle inside information, tbh, I wonder if he will drop any tonight..

It is Sean's version of name-dropping. 'Watch how important I am that I know these things.'

I think the little they did say pretty much laid it off on Jackson. Not surprising, given who pays their salaries.

[Fireball]

Great ... Kings call ... that fits into that day

[bbarry]

smh @ fsn

works fine all night long then the game starts and its fucked.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

lol technical difficulties

[timtonymanu]

Is the game blacked out or something? All the feeds are.

[ace3g]

even game starts with tech difficulties...

[KL2]

Kawhi Leonard dunk of the year holy shit! Anyone else just see that?

[capek]

Another Spurs home game where NBA LP BB has the vistor's telecast. Fuck you NBA :td

[Cane]

Better than having "Technical Difficulties" that the cable channel is having right now

Damn you TWC

[Captivus]

yeah...

[timtonymanu]

Kawhi Leonard dunk of the year holy shit! Anyone else just see that?

All I see is a black out feed. :td

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. :tu

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol people that are complaining about the Kings call(great announcers btw), at least you aren't getting fucking technical difficulties, tbh..

The game still isn't on here..

[spurraider21]

All I see is a black out feed. :td

he's screwin with you lol

[heyheymymy]

get tech difficulties from direct tv

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Well at least I can hear them talk lol

[capek]

All I see is a black out feed. :td

:lol there was no dunk. I thought his feed was a bit ahead but looks like he was just trolling you guys with the technical issues feed.

[Cane]

Sabotage from Stephen Jackson

[timtonymanu]

lol got ya guys.

Feed is on now.

[ShoogarBear]

Cut SJax . . . no video.

And so it begins . . .

[Strategic]

Kawhi Leonard dunk of the year holy shit! Anyone else just see that?Yea, funny shit!

[capek]

:lol people that are complaining about the Kings call(great announcers btw), at least you aren't getting fucking technical difficulties, tbh..

The game still isn't on here..

Fair enough, dat's some bullshit. After the jax news though, I was looking forward to hearing the familiar voices of the Spurs crew, curious to see what might be mentioned about it etc

[The Whopper]

Kawhi Leonard dunk of the year holy shit! Anyone else just see that?

No we didn't. We didn't see shit. Because the Spurs aren't even good enough to successfully broadcast the fucking game much less play basketball worth a shit.

this once proud franchise is slipping in its own excrement at every level. What a shit show!

[spurraider21]

Jason Thompson stuffing a dunk attempt by Timmy. If Jax was on the bench he would have made it

[loveforthegame]

Leonard can do that all night.

[KL2]

Kawhi Leonard MONSTER block, snatches the shot out of the air, amazing.

[Fireball]

Leonard can do that all night.

missing FTs?

[capek]

Green smh lol

[spurraider21]

Green shitting the bed on a fastbreak per par :lol

[bbarry]

we're back

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Yay!

[capek]

Green shitting the bed on a fastbreak per par :lol

Makin' up for it with the tre' though :tu

[timtonymanu]

Time for Green to shit on his hater Stephen Jackson

[loveforthegame]

Green 3.

Parker giving it up to Leonard. Nice.

[heyheymymy]

fsnsw sucks such dick at broadcasting. its 2013 noobs, get your shit together.

where else is this game playing for those getting to watch, all i get is a tech difficulties screen and the audio feed. missing the whole quarter over here

[spurraider21]

Parker looked good on that play. Sharp cutback

[heyheymymy]

finally got video feed back with 5:13 left in the first. pathetic.

[HarlemHeat37]

Don't like Blair being ahead of Bonner in the rotation, tbh..

When deciding between 2 shitty players, I'd rather play the guy that shoots 3s..

[spurraider21]

We're going to have to start rooting for Blair to play and to play well. So far not bad. I'm just pleased at how Parker is looking. Looks fine physically, I just want to see some scoring now

[Fireball]

Kawhis 3 is off ...

[EVAY]

We're going to have to start rooting for Blair to play and to play well. So far not bad. I'm just pleased at how Parker is looking. Looks fine physically, I just want to see some scoring now

Sheesh, if he was shooting people would be complaining that he should be finding Kawhi.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard can't buy a 3.

[capek]

Kawhis 3 is off ...

Ya, it's worrying that it's been off for weeks now. He's gotta get that back for the playoffs :(

[spurraider21]

Sheesh, if he was shooting people would be complaining that he should be finding Kawhi.
wasn't complaining. heck, i even said "i'm pleased at how Parker is looking"

[The Whopper]

Go Rockets

[EVAY]

wasn't complaining. heck, i even said "i'm pleased at how Parker is looking"

Sorry, dude. I misread it.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony with some nice passes

Blair the 1st big off the bench. I thought it'd be Bonner

[Floyd Pacquiao]

pretty fade away turnaround by kawhi

[capek]

Well that was sweet! Leonard's at least got that turnaround J down :tu

[loveforthegame]

Nice. Blair to Timmy. :tu

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Well, if Blair is gonna be in the rotation, may as well root for him.

[capek]

Sweet pass DB :tu

[spurraider21]

DeJuan flashing his 2011 regular season form

[loveforthegame]

Nice J by Blair.

[loveforthegame]

Good first quarter.

[weeks]

it just feels like we have better chemistry tonight. something is going better anyway.

[weeks]

nice irrelevant shot by green too

[Brunodf]

Good 1st quarter. What happened to Kawhi 3s?

[kjhip1]

Blair playing good defense, nice passing, good shot selection... :depressed against the Kings

[Captivus]

Blair is looking skinnier every day...or am I imagining things?
Keep it up, I want Baynes!

[Pauleta14]

Can someone PM me a link please? (mine sucks badly)

thks!

[Fireball]

no complaints other than Kawhi missing 3s ... not sure about the rotation with Timmy playing the whole 1st

[EVAY]

DeColo is getting ripped by refs. He was fouled all over the place on the way down last trip and they never call it, but he gets lots of calls for fouls that are non-calls for other players. I guess it is because he is a rookie for the nba, but he has done a pretty good job of keeping his cool out there and not turning it over when they are fouling him as he is bringing it up the court.

[Fireball]

why do they show only one "Greatest Moment" all the time ...

[ShoogarBear]

it just feels like we have better chemistry tonight. something is going better anyway.

The Kings.

[capek]

no complaints other than Kawhi missing 3s ... not sure about the rotation with Timmy playing the whole 1st

Getting him ready for big playoff minutes I hope/expect :tu

[loveforthegame]

Bench shitting the bed per par.

[HI-FI]

is this a tank job or we just struggling?

[EVAY]

is this a tank job or we just struggling?
Without Tony or Manu creating plays our bench cannot score and plays no defense.

[Fireball]

Getting him ready for big playoff minutes I hope/expect :tu

yeah, putting Splitter in with Bonner was a good move ... was afraif of Blair/Bonner

[Johnny RIngo]

is this a tank job or we just struggling?

Why does everybody assume it's a tank job every time SA plays awful? This team has played terrible basketball for a month now.

[Splits]

Give up 11 points in the first quarter.
Give up 12 points in the first 2.5 minutes of the 2nd.

[Fireball]

Neal passed the ball ... I cannot believe it ...

[HI-FI]

Why does everybody assume it's a tank job every time SA plays awful? This team has played terrible basketball for a month now.
cuz thinking its a tank job is more comforting than admitting shit's hit the fan.

[Captivus]

DUNK IT!!!!

[Brunodf]

Green...

[Splits]

is this a tank job or we just struggling?

Players don't tank, if they're on the floor they go 100%

[EVAY]

Elliott with the "that's the only way Danny would miss that short shot"! LOL. Green couldn't finish a fast break if his life depended on it.

[jestersmash]

Tony has yet to attempt a shot. Practically speaking he'll have to average around 15+ FGA per game in the playoffs. He might as well start now so the role players get used to it.

[HarlemHeat37]

Bench is night/day when they are playing with Parker or Duncan..hoping the shortened rotation will help alleviate the bench issues, tbh..

Hopefully Leonard plays with the bench when Parker sits in the playoffs, ideally with Ginobili..

[jestersmash]

Actually, forget 15. He's averaging 15.3 FGA/game during the regular season. Make it more like 18-20.

[still.focused]

Can we petition Danny Green to no be allowed below the foul line
He should just give up after a step in from 3....like he does on defense

[loveforthegame]

Wow what's with the back board. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Nando needs to be more aggressive. Pop was quick to bring Tony back

[Blizzardwizard]

GOD DAMN FASTBREAKS

[HarlemHeat37]

Wow, horrible from Leonard and Splitter:lol..

[EVAY]

Another blown fast break.

[Budkin]

4 on 1 and no score...

[loveforthegame]

Green has to stick to Thorton.

[siraulo23]

spurs fastbreak is a joke :lol

[RD2191]

Our defense fukin suxs. Houston finna rape us.

[Splits]

bad spacing and tempo on that break, shit is contagious, TP has to make sure we score there.

[EVAY]

Green is sagging off his offensive guy too much, per par.

[siraulo23]

who's worse in closing out 3 pt shooters, green or neal?

[HarlemHeat37]

Thornton owns the Spurs every game, tbh..

[kjhip1]

all right green..good D!!!

[EVAY]

Come on guys...I am happy for the scholarship, but can't we do this at the break instead of not calling the damn game?

[Fireball]

Thornton owns the Spurs every game, tbh..

[EVAY]

who's worse in closing out 3 pt shooters, green or neal?

Neal. for sure.

[Brunodf]

Perimeter player going off vs Green per par

[Spurs Brazil]

Green defense is pathetic. He's like the Bonner of the guards

[RD2191]

Thabo and ibaka lickin their chops

[Budkin]

Green is a joke on D

[loveforthegame]

Nasty Splitter.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

I just dont know why green sags in the paint so much...leaves 3s open every time

[TE]

Matty B gets pushed around like crazy.

[EVAY]

Bonner played good D on that play.

[TE]

Matty B!

[loveforthegame]

Yay Bonner.

[HarlemHeat37]

Is Parker going to take a shot though?..

[RD2191]

Bonner with the fools gold

[TE]

Matty B out and Matty B in...:lol he's gonna play a LOT of minutes now

[TE]

Matty B workhorse

[EVAY]

Bonner with the fools gold

I'll take whatever we can get from him anytime, since he is the only guy who has hit a three in this game, isn't he?

[TE]

Opposing team going off from mid range per par vs the Spurs

[loveforthegame]

Nice Parker. Moving great.

[EVAY]

Now if that turnover is charged to Parker that is wrong. Timmy just didn't want to go get it fast enough.

[RD2191]

I'll take whatever we can get from him anytime, since he is the only guy who has hit a three in this game, isn't he?

Shit idk. Lol

[Splits]

I want to see Baynes guard Cousins on the block, it'd be interesting.

[Fireball]

Tony plays good, but a little too passive ... he cannot realy find rhythm by not taking any shots

[Robz4000]

I'll take whatever we can get from him anytime, since he is the only guy who has hit a three in this game, isn't he?

Green managed to hit one in the first.

[TE]

Opposing bigmen been watching Abaka tapes vs the Spurs tbh

[EVAY]

Green managed to hit one in the first.

Thanks. I may have missed it. I knew Neal hadn't, but Neal is hitting his two pointers, so that is somewhat useful, at least.

[Brunodf]

Bonner playing some terrible D, left his man wide open 4 or 5 times already

[Fireball]

sometimes Bonner runs around on defense like Beaker from the Muppet show

[Fireball]

Cousins delivers every Spurs game ... funny

[RD2191]

Not sure if better offense or kings shitty defense

[TE]

If Timmy begins to break down in the playoffs this team will go down with the ship tbh.

[Budkin]

Goddamit Jack why did you have to piss off Pop??

[capek]

Parker starting to turn it up :tu

[TE]

Man Blair, why couldn't you have grown a couple of more inches?

[Captivus]

Love that Neal!! I dont care if it goes in or not!

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal...

[EVAY]

Love that Neal!! I dont care if it goes in or not!
:lol

[Brazil]

Tp is back and splitter is not sucking anymore

[Brazil]

Somebody asked for tp shot?

[jestersmash]

Tony showing good pace now with his own offense.

[Brunodf]

:lolNeal
Good 1st half...Spurs got some calls...

[Brazil]

37 pts on a quarter...in before jax wouldn't let this happen

[Robz4000]

Welp, at least I saw flashes of MVP Tony. Spurs still continue to show abysmal BBIQ and bad perimeter D.

[jestersmash]

Man Blair, why couldn't you have grown a couple of more inches?

With a couple more inches and functional ACLs, he'd be looking at $4M/year. Unfortunate for him.

[Fireball]

if the Kings continue to hit the three the Spurs could have some problems ... Kawhi was invisible in the 2nd

[EVAY]

Tp is back and splitter is not sucking anymore

You're right. 4 assists, 5 rebounds and 7 points for Splitter. Remarkable, isn't it?

[MR-Clutch]

I hate that kawhi can disappear so quick

[jestersmash]

Tp is back and splitter is not sucking anymore

Yeah. I'm still confused as to why people were surprised that Splitter was sucking with Tony out. He was going to wide open spots on the floor when Tony was out. The problem was Nando or Gary weren't getting him the ball because they were overly conservative.

You can't score if you don't get the ball. He was relegated to isolation plays in the post, which he's OK at but that's never been his forte.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony looks good. He's getting more confidence as the game goes

[Brunodf]

Tony 13pts(5-5 FG)/4ast/3rebs/3tos
Kawhi 11pts
TD 7pts/5rebs/2blks
Splitter 7pts/5rebs/4ast/stl/blk

[Robz4000]

The D was great in the first, Timmy sat, the Kings got hot when the Spurs had to overcompensate for his absence. Really becoming a tiring trend.

[EVAY]

Neal and Kawhi combined for a total of 0 for 7 on three point shots. The only three pointers we have are the ones by Bonner and Green. Sacramento is something like 6 of 13 on threes and we are 2 of 9. Think we could change that a bit in the second half?

[Robz4000]

More shots for Green, have Leonard run a couple isos, hope Neal decides to show up, and let the O come to Bonner.

[kjhip1]

nothing screams OPTIMISM like playing the Kings!!!

[EVAY]

Tony 13pts(5-5 FG)/4ast/3rebs/3tos
Kawhi 11pts
TD 7pts/5rebs/2blks
Splitter 7pts/5rebs/4ast/stl/blk

Duncan and Green each had two turnovers as well. Splitter had none.

[Splits]

With a couple more inches and functional ACLs, he'd be looking at $4M/year. Unfortunate for him.

Yeah and thats a pretty tall order to fill in the offseason I mean most guys DB45 age are already fully growned and usually can not grow a couple inches but you never know oh and I also herd that Kobe got feti injected into his knees in Germany (Deustchland I used to live there) so maybe Blairy could go get those this summer and then come get his millions you never know with technology these days anyways he is playing good/well against the Queens tonite so happy for him

[HarlemHeat37]

nothing screams OPTIMISM like playing the Kings!!!

Lakers would have a parade if they were beating Sacramento by double digits, based on the media's reactions to their close wins against the Pelicans and Blazers, tbh:lol..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hey all, I've been busy and haven't been around during our slump, but I hope you're well. :)

[loveforthegame]

Sloppy start. Come on Spurs.

[Fireball]

Hey all, I've been busy and haven't been around during our slump, but I hope you're well. :)

nobody is well after todays news about SJax being waived

[EVAY]

Cousins just showed up Duncan on that. Duncan spent way too much of the shot clock trying to get that iso to work and then it didn't.

[RD2191]

Lol

[EVAY]

Kawhi has learned to give it up on the fast break. It's better for everybody.

[RD2191]

BOOM THIS TEAM FUXIN SUXSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

nobody is well after todays news about SJax being waived

He hasn't been a difference-maker for some time, I'm not sure it matters much.

[EVAY]

Man, Tony keeps trying to get Kawhi back on track.

[loveforthegame]

Timmy righting the ship.

[EVAY]

Nice.

[jestersmash]

Yeah and thats a pretty tall order to fill in the offseason I mean most guys DB45 age are already fully growned and usually can not grow a couple inches but you never know oh and I also herd that Kobe got feti injected into his knees in Germany (Deustchland I used to live there) so maybe Blairy could go get those this summer and then come get his millions you never know with technology these days anyways he is playing good/well against the Queens tonite so happy for him

Yeah good point. And I legitimately feel bad for Blair. Sure he's a bit whiny and emo on twitter at times, but he does play his ass off when he's on the floor. He's never been short on effort.

[Fireball]

He hasn't been a difference-maker for some time, I'm not sure it matters much.

Mentally it matters ... this team is soft as hell without him.

[Brunodf]

Neal in= Kings run. Great move Pop

[Budkin]

This team has nothing right now.

[HarlemHeat37]

Leonard having a horrible start to the 2nd half + Parker missing chip shots..

[Fireball]

Spurs look like they are done tbh ...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Mentally it matters ... this team is soft as hell without him.

Decent point, but it wasn't as if he's been stiffening the team up. We do need to find an enforcer though, really don't have one.

[itzsoweezee]

A franchise on the verge of collapse. Fucking awesome

[Robz4000]

My God, this team continues to look like first round fodder.

[Spurs Brazil]

terrible start. Must wake up

[loveforthegame]

Everyone afraid to shoot?

[Budkin]

A franchise on the verge of collapse. Fucking awesome

You really can feel something bad is happening.

[mexicanjunior]

Kings look like the better team tbh...

[loveforthegame]

Blair hustling.

[Splits]

Yeah good point. And I legitimately feel bad for Blair. Sure he's a bit whiny and emo on twitter at times, but he does play his ass off when he's on the floor. He's never been short on effort.

Well hey lets not give up on him just yet I mean yeah ok his contract expires next year but maybe the Spurs resign him you never no he could come back and with SJax gone and Diaw always injured and Tim getting old he could be a good one to hang onto I mean he even developed a nice jumper this year which is going in all the time he hit 1 tonite so yeah I could totally see us bringing DB45 next year even though most of spurstalk.com posters/trolls hate him even when he plays good/well like tonite.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard should fake more like that.

[capek]

:ihit

[loveforthegame]

There you go Parker.

[capek]

:ihit :ihit :ihit

Blair has been playing pretty well lately. Losing his spot on the team really motivated him.

[loveforthegame]

Green leaving his man again. Ugh.

[Budkin]

More great d by green

[RD2191]

What are you guys watching?

[thunderup]

Watching the game here on a stream, I think the Spurs are coasting.

This season should be shortened to 60-70 games. The last 10 or so are meaningless yall.

[loveforthegame]

Bonner!

[RD2191]

Lmao bonner

[Budkin]

Too bad Matt can't shoot in the playoffs

[jestersmash]

Watching the game here on a stream, I think the Spurs are coasting.

This season should be shortened to 60-70 games. The last 10 or so are meaningless yall.

There's too much money in it for $tern to shorten the season.

[Budkin]

That's how you box out.

[boutons_deux]

Tied 2nd and 3rd qrtrs

Sac 8 - 30 Road

We've lost. To these lottery teams @art before

[benefactor]

Splitter playing much, much harder.

[Budkin]

:lol Bonner!

Neal actually passing the ball. What's this world coming to!

[Captivus]

Neal actually passing the ball. What's this world coming to!

Looking focused!

[Fireball]

What are you guys watching?

We are watching a home game of the Spurs against a team they are dominating normally ... but it just does not feel right although we may win that one

[ace3g]

was checking out the Thunder/blazers box score and wondering why Thabeet was starting for Perkins well:

kerry eggers ‏@kerryeggers (https://twitter.com/kerryeggers) 59m (https://twitter.com/kerryeggers/status/322883332125900801) Thunder will be without Kendrick Perkins (hamstring) and Kevin Martin (back) tonight. Ex-Blazer and Garden fan fave Hasheem Thabeet gets nod

[loveforthegame]

Bonner. :lol

[RD2191]

Pop jizzin his pants

[thunderup]

There's too much money in it for $tern to shorten the season.
I don't know about that. It would be good to see how shortening the season by 10 games would affect the league financially. 70 games is a lot of games, regardless. The extra 12 or so are meaningless to me. If a team can't get their shit right in a matter of 70 games, they shouldn't be offered an additional 10-12 games to make up ground.

As is the case this year with many teams suffering from injuries to important players, a deduction of 12 games from the long grueling grind of the regular season would pay some dividends. This year's playoffs will suffer from those injuries rendering a lower quality product. This can't be more truer for the East who's decimated by injuries while superteam Miami runs rough shod with their ridiculously potent "role" players.

[ace3g]

Splitter 4 assists from a triple double

[EVAY]

Great D by DeColo and then gives it right back!

[Fireball]

DeColo is not finding Splitter on the roll ... that worked much better at the start of the season

[EVAY]

This spurs group has been playing pretty good d, they just can't seem to sustain it to the point of a turnover. But they are out there hustling, and that's good.

[ace3g]

the Kawhi post up opened up everything there

[EVAY]

DeColo is not finding Splitter on the roll ... that worked much better at the start of the season
Neither DeColo nor Cojo seem to be very effective on the pick and roll. Splitter does so well with Tony or Manu because he really cleans up on the pick and rolls.

[loveforthegame]

Nice. :tu

[jermaine]

Its sad to see a 7fter on the bench will not be used in the playoffs.

[loveforthegame]

Parker's jumper looks smooth again.

[RD2191]

:cry:cry we hit 100

[Robz4000]

At least Tony looks great tonight despite a couple mistakes. Spurs need Leonard more involved tho.

[Brunodf]

Tony is back

[jestersmash]

We are watching a home game of the Spurs against a team they are dominating normally ... but it just does not feel right although we may win that one

It's not like we average 30 point margins against the Kings normally, even during our championship seasons or our magical '11-'12 regular season.

[jermaine]
