Game Thread: Spurs @ Warriors - April 15 @ 9:30 CST

[Uriel]

The Spurs play so much better when they push the pace. I wonder why they've gone away from that the past few weeks.

[RD2191]

Are u guys seriously bitching about this game? Fukin warriors are playing their hearts out against our bench.

[LarryDavid]

Splitter & Baynes = Bleached Bigs???

[Brunodf]

Weird game

[BillMc]

Splitter is driving me crazy with misses at the rim. GO UP STRONG!!!!

[crc21209]

At this point it's an up and down, no plays set, jack it up kind of game...:lol

[Spurs9]

Are u guys seriously bitching about this game? Fukin warriors are playing their hearts out against our bench.

Ya because we could easily be winning.

[Chomag]

At this point it's an up and down, no plays set, jack it up kind of game...:lol

A Neal wet dream?

[Joyrider]

Good game for the bench to get their heads out of their ass in a road environment against a playoff team playing for position.

[crc21209]

Damn Mills is ballin' tonight! :lol

[Budkin]

Total bullshit.

[crc21209]

Come on. These calls in the post are fucking weak. Yet Splitter and Baynes get bumped and pushed around on the other side and nothing is called...

[Joyrider]

The refs REALLY hate Baynes tonight.

[crc21209]

Apparently Carl Landry is worthy of star calls...

[RD2191]

What a bitch call

[Budkin]

Nice pass!

[Spurs9]

I freaking love Mills always consistant and plays hard.

[Budkin]

Matty :lol

[loveforthegame]

Bonner my goodness. :lol

[crc21209]

Stupid fucking rotation. Let Jack shoot that instead of Curry....

[Budkin]

ugh leaving Curry wide open again

[loveforthegame]

Yes leave Curry open.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

De Colo throwing some great full-court passes

[Budkin]

I'm really liking seeing our reserves playing well tonight. Prolly won't win but still...

[crc21209]

I'm really liking seeing our reserves playing well tonight. Prolly won't win but still...

Win or lose, this game should be a good confidence booster for our bench. :tu They've played their asses off tonight...

[Chomag]

Win or lose They are competing, and that's all we can really ask for

[crc21209]

Win or lose They are competing, and that's all we can really ask for

+1. Probably the best ball movement and man movement we've seen in a looong time.

[Brunodf]

Mills playing really well

[DatBoyGood]

Great d by patty

[Budkin]

DeCoLOL

[DatBoyGood]

And 1 neal!

[Budkin]

Neal with it bitches!

[crc21209]

Neal! And-1!

[Flawless]

Bonner block :wow

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Bonner too good

[loveforthegame]

Bonner good defense and Neal nice shot

[Budkin]

Baynes better play in the playoffs.

[loveforthegame]

Baynes nice. :tu

[spurs1990]

Gary Neal could average 20 ppg for a shit team.

[Budkin]

Bonner got toasted

[crc21209]

Here's our disadvantage tonight: Bonner at the 3/4 spot is causing all these retarded ass switches...

[crc21209]

These calls are inconsistent as hell. So THAT was a foul on Thompson but Splitter and Baynes are getting hacked in the post and nothing is called. Hmm....

[Budkin]

These calls are inconsistent as hell. So THAT was a foul on Thompson but Splitter and Baynes are getting hacked in the post and nothing is called. Hmm....

NBA = worst referees in the world

[Captivus]

Baynes with fundamentals.

[Brunodf]

Here comes Blair= 10-0 Warrior run in the making

[spurs1990]

I don't want to play this team next week. Seems like too many weapons.

[HarlemHeat37]

Baynes should be more aggressive in the post..Landry is one of the worst defenders in the NBA, be patient and use a simple hook against him, tbh..

[crc21209]

Damn it. Leave Baynes in. I'm not liking subbing Blair in for Baynes...

[HI-FI]

i missed parts of this game. who is playing better, Nando or CoJo?

[spurs1990]

WTF that commercial. Spurs were up 10 on Phx before that shot.

[Budkin]

bad shot... why is Blair back?

[loveforthegame]

Thanks Blair. :bang

[crc21209]

There ya go. Foul Scrub Zeli....

[Budkin]

Damn Blair grab that shit with two hands!

[HarlemHeat37]

I just hate seeing Blair on the floor at any point, tbh..

[crc21209]

Rockets down 114-108 with 2 mins left...

[Budkin]

Ok don't let them pull away guys!

[Budkin]

Damn Baynes.

[DatBoyGood]

Yeah its over haha. Oh well good hard fought game from our reserves.

[spurs1990]

i missed parts of this game. who is playing better, Nando or CoJo?

Nando gets the edge after his last 3. But neither that well tbh

[ChumpDumper]

Baynes should be more aggressive in the post..Landry is one of the worst defenders in the NBA, be patient and use a simple hook against him, tbh..Just back him down and don't be a pussy.

[Budkin]

Now we're ice cold... here comes the deluge.

[TampaDude]

Full tank mode tonight for the Spurs. If they win, it's just luck.

[Budkin]

Stone fucking cold

[KaiRMD1]

Per par

[HarlemHeat37]

Patty Mills makes Neal's shot selection look like Boris Diaw's, tbh..

[Budkin]

wow

[timtonymanu]

Yep. The Spurs were gonna get blown out at some point.

[Darius Bieber]

Game. Wow.

[PingPong]

Danny Green with 0 points? Jack is laughing somewhere..

[rasho8]

Welp, this game is fucking over. Good job scrubs.

[Budkin]

Fun while it lasted. I'd like to see them close it a little bit before the end.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Just realized that the run they made coincided with Blair re-entering the game. Not really surprised though.

[DatBoyGood]

Danny Green with 0 points? Jack is laughing somewhere..

[RD2191]

Yeah. We aint making it out of the 1st round.

[rold50]

blair -19

[crc21209]

Meh...proud of the guys tonight. You knew at some point they were going to get cold and the Warriors were going to get hot.

[HarlemHeat37]

Just back him down and don't be a pussy.

Pretty much..the footwork on his last post move was nice, but a fadeaway against Carl Landry is completely unnecessary, tbh..

Splitter's soft post moves are bad enough..

[Robz4000]

Spurs are gonna end up with the fucking Lakers in the first round smdh...

[loveforthegame]

So glad Blair and Green came back in. Awesome.

[rasho8]

If we play like we have the last 7 games we won't win the first round series.

[spurs1990]

Getting sick of staying up late to watch them tank towards the end.

[DejuanorwhatDude]

When did this team become a bunch of fucking soft choking pussies?

[Budkin]

Yeah. We aint making it out of the 1st round.

You're basing that off this game? Our scrubs played pretty well tonight.

[Brunodf]

Here comes Blair= 10-0 Warrior run in the making
Dat crystal ball

[Boomersgold]

Here's a trade idea: Bonner, Blair and Neal for Curry.

[Robz4000]

If the Spurs see this Golden State team in the first round they'll win in 5.

[crc21209]

No TP, TD, Manu, Kawhi, and Diaw and you're telling me we were down 3 in the beginning of the 4th? Shit I'll take that any day...

[rasho8]

Jesus we can't hit shit.

[HarlemHeat37]

The Spurs only shot creator tonight is Gary Neal, against a team playing like its game 7, and people are complaining?:lol..

[timtonymanu]

GS pretty much locked the 6th seed. Sucks cause they were the easiest opponent we could get.

Unfortunately it's very possible we draw the Lakers now. Because Houston is about to lose to Phoenix and they could lose to LA in the finale.

[KaiRMD1]

This time last year, the Spurs B squad fuckin' took out the Warriors lol

[crc21209]

The Spurs only shot creator tonight is Gary Neal, against a team playing like its game 7, and people are complaining?:lol..

+1

[loveforthegame]

FU Blair. Be glad when he's gone.

[Arcadian]

Is this the worst regular season finish in the Duncan era? I think we're 4-6 in the last 10.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

I'd be really surprised if Blair makes an NBA roster next year.

[Chomag]

Jacks must have seen how much of a scrub Green really is and called Pop out on it.

[TampaDude]

Blair is gone next season, as in out of the NBA.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

The Spurs only shot creator tonight is Gary Neal, against a team playing like its game 7, and people are complaining?:lol..
gnsf

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Just give him the record!

[Budkin]

This is bullshit... make a shot. Now we're just getting embarrassed.

[SpursFanaticInVegas]

pathetic. 16-0 run, GS trying to avoid SA

[rasho8]

It went from 1 point to 20 points in 3 minutes.

[crc21209]

:lol This guy going for records now in a blowout game. Stay classy bro...:tu

[spurs1990]

Houston losing to Phoenix? Come on that's gotta be a better matchup for SA.

[rasho8]

Oh hey a fucking basket!

[Joyrider]

Curry better enjoy it now because he's gonna twist his ankle 5 more times before it's gone for good.

[Boomersgold]

Has Pop thrown in the white flag?

[rasho8]

Has Pop thrown in the white flag?

He did that at the beginning of the game by not playing anyone.

[spurs1990]

Spurs need to pull what the Warriors did against Houston.

Fuck this shit!

[Captivus]

I want to see the record!

[Budkin]

So are the Warriors the better matchup for us?

[Budkin]

RJ sighting!!!

[rasho8]

Why the fuck do our point guards keep falling down and losing the ball? That's like 5 times.

[justinandimcool]

Who gives a fuck? We are not losing to the Warriors or Houston :lol

[SpursFanaticInVegas]

Ezeli is another great prospect cultivated by the spurs

[Budkin]

:lmao RJ!

[Darius McCrary]

Curry should be an easy player to defend, tbh. No chance in our depleted state, but it blows my mind that he does this regularly against NBA teams.

[crc21209]

Landry had a handful of Blair's shorts there and nothing was called? :lol WTF...

[Darius Bieber]

So are the Warriors the better matchup for us?
No team is any better matchup. If the Spurs keep playing like they have for the last few games, they'll lose no matter who their opponent is in the first round.

[timtonymanu]

The Spurs last road win was Feb. 24. Sad stat going into the playoffs.

[rasho8]

Curry should be an easy player to defend, tbh. No chance in our depleted state, but it blows my mind that he does this regularly against NBA teams.

He hits fall down fadeaway 3s like Dirk used to. It's amazing.

[Russ]

RJ sighting!!!

Garbage time.

[Budkin]

Landry had a handful of Blair's shorts there and nothing was called? :lol WTF...

Refs are caught up in the excitement!

[ChumpDumper]

Damn, their main guys played a shitload of minutes.

[SpursFanaticInVegas]

Kawhi will lock Curry up TBH

[benstanfield]

If we play them in a series, I am absolutely going to HATE Curry by the end of it.

[HarlemHeat37]

Tiago Splitter, Danny Green and Cory Joseph..the trifecta of softness, tbh..

[Splits]

Lakers game on Weds is fixed so Sterno can have Harden v RefKC and SAS/LAL rekindling. Book it and bring on the Lakers!

[Budkin]

The Spurs last road win was Feb. 24. Sad stat going into the playoffs.

We choked a couple away but that's about how long our roster has been decimated.

[Kulo]

Damn, their main guys played a shitload of minutes.
Mark Jackson.

[Budkin]

Damn, their main guys played a shitload of minutes.

They're pretty young, no?

[rasho8]

Lakers game on Weds is fixed so Sterno can have Harden v RefKC and SAS/LAL rekindling. Book it and bring on the Lakers!

Mr Potato Head won't beat us 4 times. I would take that match up.

[twincam]

wow...once again, another 4th quarter collapse. Not looking good for the upcoming playoffs

[HI-FI]

Lakers game on Weds is fixed so Sterno can have Harden v RefKC and SAS/LAL rekindling. Book it and bring on the Lakers!

it's looking that way.

if we lose to the Lakers, this site will melt down. i don't even think i could come on here if we did lose. of course if we win, the faggot Laker fans will be like "well we didn't have Kobe".

[Budkin]

Damn you can't let RJ score.

[loveforthegame]

Even RJ shitting on us. Awesome.

[rasho8]

RJ playing like he cares? Where was that when he played for us?

[crc21209]

wow...once again, another 4th quarter collapse. Not looking good for the upcoming playoffs

:lol This guy...

[JingleJangleJingle]

Lakers game on Weds is fixed so Sterno can have Harden v RefKC and SAS/LAL rekindling. Book it and bring on the Lakers!

disaster because they are going in as the little engine that could story and will get a ton of calls and tire the fuck out of Duncan...fuck

[spurs1990]

The Spurs last road win was Feb. 24. Sad stat going into the playoffs.

Distorted stat tbh. Spurs had 16 home games vs only 7 road. Date means jack.

[DesignatedT]

So Houston @ LAL on Wednesday night. We have the winner.

[crc21209]

Mills lighting it up! :lol

[ace3g]

Patty

[Brunodf]

Not a Spur anymore, RJ attacks the rim

[benstanfield]

This might be a positive. It's like a film session, nobody has an excuse not to be aware of Curry at all times if we play them in a week.

[Budkin]

Great D by Baynes!

[rasho8]

Patty getting stupid now.

[crc21209]

That's a foul on Mills? Really!?!?!?

[Darius McCrary]

this follows timvps theory that Patrick Mills only makes 3's in garbage time

[TD 21]

Tiago Splitter, Danny Green and Cory Joseph..the trifecta of softness, tbh..

You forgot De Colo and Pop. Only Pop would have pulled Neal when he did. He's finally looking like the Neal of old, he hasn't played much the last few months and it's not like they're counting on him for 30 mpg in the playoffs, yet he pulls him even though he was single handedly keeping them afloat. Why? Because he had went beyond 9-10 consecutive minutes, so I guess that meant he was going to die if he didn't get a break. And you wonder why this team has turned soft over the years.

[ChumpDumper]

They're pretty young, no?Yeah, but we're terrible.

[spurs1990]

Mills backup PG! Do it Pop!

[Budkin]

Yeah, but we're terrible.

True.

[Splits]

it's looking that way.

if we lose to the Lakers, this site will melt down. i don't even think i could come on here if we did lose. of course if we win, the faggot Laker fans will be like "well we didn't have Kobe".

This site will be hilarious, up and down stairs.

[Darius McCrary]

I have yet to see Mills hit a three of importance this year

[KaiRMD1]

Seems like the last couple of games were just so predictable that we were gonna lose. It's kinda sad considering how the season started

[Budkin]

Like the way we're closing

[Brunodf]

So Houston @ LAL on Wednesday night. We have the winner.
Would be funny LAL get the #7 seed after Pop tanked to get the #2

[Boomersgold]

I have yet to see Mills hit a three of importance this year

Then you haven't watched enough games. There have been games where we were down heading into the 4th, and Mills' threes got us back into the game.

[crc21209]

So Houston basically screwed up everything tonight huh?

[Budkin]

What was the point of that foul?

[spurs1990]

^To get Patty another 3.

[Captivus]

What was the point of that foul?

It happens all the time in the NBA, i dont get it.

[BatManu20]

Spurs have now lost 7 straight road games. First time since 1996. :wow

[Budkin]

So Houston basically screwed up everything tonight huh?

Looks like we're playing the Lakers... LA is going to go ALL OUT to get matched up with us. Bring the bitches on!

[Budkin]

Spurs have now lost 7 straight road games. First time since 1996. :wow

Damn that's fucking sad.

[crc21209]

James Harden tonight: 5/18 from the field, 0/7 from 3.....

[Darius McCrary]

Season is a disaster. Hope we can find a way.

[HI-FI]

Spurs have now lost 7 straight road games. First time since 1996. :wow
:lol

we are either going to have the best Championship Blu Ray, or we need to seriously fucking rebuild this thing.

[spurs1990]

@Minny - fluke blowout
@Hou - fluke Harden shot
@Mem - could've won
@ OKC - tank
@Den - tank
@LA - injured
@GSW - tank

[crc21209]

Looks like we're playing the Lakers... LA is going to go ALL OUT to get matched up with us. Bring the bitches on!

It's gonna be tough for Houston to win in LA against them and the refs but it'll be close I think. The Rockets and Lakers always seem to play some good games. Obviously both the Lakers and the Rockets would rather play the Spurs than the Thunder right now so both will be trying hard to win on Wednesday...

[Budkin]

:lol

we are either going to have the best Championship Blu Ray, or we need to seriously fucking rebuild this thing.

Time to rebuild... sad that Timmy is still playing out of his mind.

[TampaDude]

James Harden tonight: 5/18 from the field, 0/7 from 3.....

Of course. There is no escape. The Spurs must lose to the Lakers in the first round. It's destiny. Just accept it and move on.

[Budkin]

Of course. There is no escape. The Spurs must lose to the Lakers in the first round. It's destiny. Just accept it and move on.

Damn that will be worse than the way we went out last year.

[DesignatedT]

Actually I was wrong about that. If GS loses @POR (its a possibility) and HOU beats LA then we get GS. So it's still pretty open.

[HI-FI]

Time to rebuild... sad that Timmy is still playing out of his mind.

i know, i just mentioned championship BluRay to hold onto the slightest glimmer of hope. but i thought we should've rebuilt after 2011, last season made me think I ws wrong, but now I think my original instinct was spot on.

and agree about Tim, last night's game made me wish we could have sent him to a contender. I hate having those feelings but I hate seeing him be the only one who has balls or isn't hurt.

[crc21209]

Actually I was wrong about that. If GS loses @POR (its a possibility) and HOU beats LA then we get GS. So it's still pretty open.

Good work. :tu Still a lot of possibilities....

[crc21209]

Actually I was wrong about that. If GS loses @POR (its a possibility) and HOU beats LA then we get GS. So it's still pretty open.

If Portland plays against GS the way they played against LA a couple days ago, Portland could win. It's always tough to win in that building....

[BatManu20]

Well I certainly don't fear LA in the 1st round, even if we are playing terribly. Without Kobe, they just aren't scary to me. Dwight and Gasol are tough, but no way Blake shoots lights out like he did last game for a whole series. I say we beat em in 5 or 6.

[Budkin]

Seriously... without Killer Kobe there is no way we lose in 7 games, especially if we have Manu and TP.

[TampaDude]

Seriously... without Killer Kobe there is no way we lose in 7 games, especially if we have Manu and TP.

You forgot the minimum 40 FTAs per game the Lakers will be getting.

[HI-FI]

You forgot the minimum 40 FTAs per game the Lakers will be getting.

and the fact TP will most likely disappear while Manu will be making lots of turnovers as he regains his rhythm. Nope, I don't like this matchup one fucking bit. our only hope is TD and Kawhi going balls to the wall.

[Arcadian]

Of all playoff teams, only Milwaukee has a worse record than the Spurs in their last 10 games.

Spurs 4-6
Bucks 2-8

:lol Wow. What a fucked ending to the season.

[Johnny RIngo]

Of all playoff teams, only Milwaukee has a worse record than the Spurs in their last 10 games.

This team is gassed. Not built for an 82 game season plus an additional post-season.

[Monster1776]

Gah you guys depress me; the Spurs were my favorite rivalry and I was looking forward to a rematch in the conference finals. Was a blast stalking the forums last playoffs. What happened to you all?

[crc21209]

Gah you guys depress me; the Spurs were my favorite rivalry and I was looking forward to a rematch in the conference finals. Was a blast stalking the forums last playoffs. What happened to you all?

6 posts huh? :lol

[Johnny RIngo]

What happened to you all?

March and April happened.

[crc21209]

JMcDonald_SAEN Vibe in the locker room seems to point to Spurs playing something close to a full roster Wednesday against Minnesota.

[crc21209]

JMcDonald_SAEN Most likely playoff scenario has Spurs playing winner of Wednesday's Rockets-Lakers game in first round. G-State still remote possibility.

JMcDonald_SAEN If Golden State beats Portland in its finale, Warriors are No. 6 seed. The No. 7 would go to Lakers-Rockets winner.

JMcDonald_SAEN If Warriors lose to Blazers, and Houston beats Lakers, Rockets are No. 6, Warriors No. 7.

[Monster1776]

6 posts huh? :lol

I signed up during the playoffs last year but the admins took damned near forever to validate my account so I couldn't post anything. Remembered these forums now that the playoffs were rolling around again and figured it would be fun to participate in the fun. Sadly it looks like things will be a bit more boring this year.


March and April happened.

Still, I've never seen such a breakdown before the playoffs of a championship caliber team.

[spurs10]

:lol

we are either going to have the best Championship Blu Ray, or we need to seriously fucking rebuild this thing.
:lol
Anything can happen! Last years' WCF can tell you that. Maybe this year will be the complete inverse of that!!???

[Mugen]

@Minny - fluke blowout
@Hou - fluke Harden shot
@Mem - could've won
@ OKC - tank

Keep making excuses............ If you say so.

[Sean Cagney]

This team is gassed. Not built for an 82 game season plus an additional post-season.

I said this too, last years shortened year benefited them bigtime! They had the stars nearly align to get to the WCF and that was their best run IMO! This was their last run. They had a good run last year healthy and a few other things, this year forget it.

[velik_m]

Gah you guys depress me; the Spurs were my favorite rivalry and I was looking forward to a rematch in the conference finals. Was a blast stalking the forums last playoffs. What happened to you all?

:spam: - Spurs Plummet After March

[Budkin]

I want the Lakers. We only lost by a couple the other night without a full roster. No Kobe and no bench. Not going to lose 4/7.

[Stabula]

Of all playoff teams, only Milwaukee has a worse record than the Spurs in their last 10 games. Spurs 4-6 Bucks 2-8 :lol Wow. What a fucked ending to the season. Get ready for a hot sticky wad of male ejaculate to cascade down your mouth and drip off your chin.

[Arcadian]

Get ready for a hot sticky wad of male ejaculate to cascade down your mouth and drip off your chin.

:lol Interesting choice of words. You could have opted for a simple, "Get ready for cum in your face." But instead you colored it with extra detail. I especially like the verb "cascade." A commendable effort. :tu

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

This game doesn't mean anything. Thunder already clinched 1 and Spurs already have 2. No Parker, Diaw, Duncan, Ginobli, and Leonard mean A LOT also
