Round 1, Game 1: Spurs vs. Lakers - April 21 @ 2:30 PM CT

[szkorhetz]

Why the fuck do we switch EVERYTHING?

[TE]

Splitter flopped on that play tbh

[capek]

Go at him Tiago! :ihit :tu

[Cry Havoc]

Howard getting his bitch on.

[superjames1992]

Green airball from 10 ft...

[DapDaGenius]

OFFENSIVE FOUL!!! But then Green with the airball. lol

[Raven]

we're playing great.

[Budkin]

Fucking green

[bbarry]

damn get a rebound

[InRareForm]

rebounding this quarter....

[007nites]

Bonner not boxing out anyone

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

It feels like we're getting out-hustled

[HarlemHeat37]

Meeks is working a lot harder than Neal and Green so far, tbh..

[spurspokesman]

this spurs team is charmin soft I swear

[loveforthegame]

Midget ball is great for the boards.

[Budkin]

Come on Marty take that

[Floyd Pacquiao]

good job refs

[bklynspursfan]

Pop playing rotations like it's the regular season.

[007nites]

CJ!

[Cry Havoc]

Good call on the charge!

[ace3g]

damn Green jumped over Meeks there

[Cry Havoc]

damn Green jumped over Meeks there

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm not a fan of Joseph at all, but he's playing we'll so far..

[superjames1992]

There you go, Bonner. Make Dwight hit that at the line.

[Fetawhey]

CJ is scrappy

[DapDaGenius]

Green, use your hops to dunk.

[Budkin]

Get the starters back in

[The Whopper]

Enough of the scrubs.

[Raven]

green flew there..

[capek]

Bonner employing the bearhug defense :lol

[Floyd Pacquiao]

ok pop lets get the starters back in?

[RD2191]

Cojo being a nice spark off the bench. Be nice if tiago or kawhi showed up

[TE]

tbh sans Splitter the rest of the players on the court are bench players. expecting them to produce points given the last couple of weeks is a huge gamble at the moment.

[crc21209]

How the hell are they forcing mismatches on us? CoJo on Jamison, Bonner on Howard. WTF!?!?

[siraulo23]

this stretch is huge, no tp, td, manu or kawhi

[hater]

CoJo playing like he wants to be there. how refreshing for a Spurs role player

[Brunodf]

Pop and his lineups without playmakers:bang
This is the playoffs, just play Tony or Manu

[Cry Havoc]

Amazing that it's still a 10 point game with no Duncan and no Parker for an extended stretch.

[EVAY]

green flew there..

That's kind of what happened to Parker when his neck got injured on that foul by the guy who did the same thing Green did. But on Tony, the other guy weighed about 270 pounds and landed on his neck.

[hater]

I likie Bonner's D. at least mofo is not bending over

[siraulo23]

How the hell are they forcing mismatches on us? CoJo on Jamison, Bonner on Howard. WTF!?!?

switching pick n rolls, i rather have that than jamison getting hot on 3s

[EVAY]

I likie Bonner's D. at least mofo is not bending over

+1

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Why, you always seem to hate him.

I do? You must have me confused with someone else.

[Nathan89]

Joseph is like a hybrid of Mills and De colo. The energy of Mills and more size like De colo.

[szkorhetz]

This lineup with T-Mac would be a killer.

[milkyway21]

rebounding :td

[DapDaGenius]

HE'S MANU GINOBILI!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, Cojo. Come on.

I knew someone was going to say that. lol But that was crazy you have to admit.

[james evans]

why does popovich continue to do this lottery linup BS? if we extend the lead, it makes him look like a great coach/genius, if we give up a lead(which is 95% of the time) the starters have to get in and fight back. he acts as if the starters are a bunch of 50 year old men that can play no more than 24 minutes a game. i hate that bs.there is no reason for bonner, splitter, neal, and green to EVER be on the floor together during the playoffs.

[bklynspursfan]

Gary struggling

[~Sweetmelody~]

Maybe pop wants to keep the Lakers guessing with the new line ups. Hey if its working...

[EVAY]

Unfortunately, his shot is not as good as either Mills or DeColo.

[cjw]

Pop and his lineups without playmakers:bang
This is the playoffs, just play Tony or Manu

You can't play these guys 48 minutes a game, or even 40 (given Parker's coming off injury, Tim's old and Manu's ... well Manu). Holding the score where it is when they're going with their starters against our scrubs is great.

[Budkin]

Ok go inside

[The Whopper]

Kobe Bryant is insufferable.

[Raven]

offense is a bit stagnant right now

[szkorhetz]

Neal guarding Nash....

[loveforthegame]

Ice cold.

[capek]

Nice recovery by Kawhi!

[TE]

tbh Neal is gonna have to hit some shots. That's what the fuck he's out there for.

[bklynspursfan]

Gotta take Neal out

[TE]

smfh Neal letting Nash beat him like that.

[RD2191]

Fukin garbage

[Arcadian]

We should start hacking Howard

[spurspokesman]

neal hasto be the worst defender in the league

[MVPCues]

Kobe Bryant is insufferable.

Yeah, ridiculous use of air time.

[DatBoyGood]

Wow.

[HarlemHeat37]

Splitter playing horribly, embarrassing and soft, tbh..

[TE]

Garbage :lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Pathetic effort by the Spurs.

This is gonna get ugly.

[superjames1992]

The starters come in and all hell breaks loose.

[DapDaGenius]

Tiago got back just in time to get be under the dunk. LMFAO

[loveforthegame]

:td

[Budkin]

:lol Splitter

[024]

splitter shitting the bed

[$pursDynasty]

Dang Tiago rejected by the backboard and then late getting back on D leading to a dunk, get your head out of your backside

[timvp]

OMG Splitter.........

[EVAY]

Nash gets in for his own rebound and putback.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

smh tp is sucking right now still looks hobbled

[Cry Havoc]

Fukin garbage

Bringing the weak sauce as usual, I see.

[hater]

Splitter looking like a faggot out ther

[HI-FI]

Kobe Bryant is insufferable.

the most insufferable player in the league for like 10+ years.

his cult of fans are even worse.

[DapDaGenius]

8-0 run? Go back to the other line-up please.

[EVAY]

Parker getting clobbered by Blake with no calls at all.

[james evans]

see what happens? see what FUKIN HAPPENS? every cot damn time. starters get back in cold and we give up the lead. every fukin time

[bklynspursfan]

Manu has to finish this quarter, Neal is in a funk

[TE]

TBH this all happened with Pop's experimenting this quarter. This game could've easily been blown wide open. Now it's going to be a battle.

[hater]

goddam I can't beleive Bonner is outplaying Splitter. This does not bode well

[spurspokesman]

terrible effort by the spurs

[spurs1990]

Ya'll still want the Spurs shelving out 10 mill to Splitter next year?

[bklynspursfan]

Spurs respond with like a 10-2 run

[DapDaGenius]

Fuck Chris AND Cliff Paul.

[hater]

Kawhi hiding like a pussy. wtf

[HarlemHeat37]

Lakers effort has been noticeably better than the Spurs, tbh..

[james evans]

You can't play these guys 48 minutes a game, or even 40 (given Parker's coming off injury, Tim's old and Manu's ... well Manu). Holding the score where it is when they're going with their starters against our scrubs is great.
of course u can't play them 48 mintues, but u can't be giving guys like bonner, neal, and joseph 24 mintues either.

[wut]

Parker getting clobbered by Blake with no calls at all.
This.

[Brunodf]

Splitter with the bads

[hater]

spurs playing terrible. should be up by at least 20 about now

[RD2191]

Bring the bench back tbh

[Budkin]

Spurs'll get back on track here

[spurraider21]

see what happens? see what FUKIN HAPPENS? every cot damn time. starters get back in cold and we give up the lead. every fukin time
So do you suggest never putting starters back in or just let them play 48 minutes

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Pathetic effort by the Spurs.

This is gonna get ugly.

[HI-FI]

crofl about comments on Blake

someone said earlier that he was going to get Kobe's calls from here on out.

[cd98]

Need to make some shots. Too many jumpers.

[EVAY]

spurs playing terrible. should be up by at least 20 about now

Pop often waits too late to put them back in.

[james evans]

Ya'll still want the Spurs shelving out 10 mill to Splitter next year?
i wouldn't give splitter, bonner, colo, green, and joseph a combined 10 million for 10 years altogether.

[WeNeedLength]

What happened to aggressive, smart Splitter? He's playing awful.

[007nites]

Neal again

[loveforthegame]

Neal should keep attacking.

[Cry Havoc]

Neal!!!!!

[DapDaGenius]

See guys, offensive rebounds help.

[blkroadrunners]

Great drive by Neal

[superjames1992]

Final score: 74-73.

[Budkin]

Kawhi has done nothing

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Parker loves those jumpshots today

[DatBoyGood]

Missing shot after shot

[RD2191]

No way this offense gets by denver

[spurspokesman]

neal is horrible

[Budkin]

Ice fucking cold. We should be up 20

[loveforthegame]

Parker and Neal just jacking stuff up.

[milkyway21]

[Budkin]

Bonner has decided to shit on SpursTalk

[EVAY]

Bonner making a lot of haters here look bad.

[Cry Havoc]

To whomever is bitching: Lakers have 26 points with 4 minutes left in the fucking half.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Will TMac get last couple minutes of the game play?

[james evans]

ok, spurs up by 9. new lineup by pop out of timeout. colo and neal at the guards, joseph at the sf. bonner pf and splitter at center

[Gagnrath]

How do you say you have interior defense when Matt Bonner drives on your front line.....

[Brunodf]

:wowBonner
Why the Spurs is doubling Artest?!!!!!!

[MVPCues]

I remember someone posting that his left handed baby hook has become an asset.

[Bill_Brasky]

Kareem Abdul jabonner

[Nathan89]

The Red Rocket has finally taken flight. Lol Bonner earning his starting spot back.

[bklynspursfan]

Have to push this lead heading into the half. Step on the pedal and don't look back. Don't give them any signs of hope. No Mercy

[hater]

Bonner about to win 25+ playoff minutes from Pop :lmao

[stxspurs]

bonner spurs x factor

[~Sweetmelody~]

Go Bonner! Be your bad self! I can't wait to see this later tonight.

[HarlemHeat37]

Very concerned about Tony Parker, tbh..thankfully Nash looks just as bad..

The entire team looks confused when Kawhi has the ball and attempts to drive..the bigs don't know where to go when he has the ball and there's no spacing..

[mrjap2x]

Bonner making a lot of haters here look bad.
If hating hims means he'll play like that, then I'll be glad to hate him way more.

[hater]

Gasol showing up bigtime

[Namundy]

Kareem Abdul JaBonner sighting

[Budkin]

Spurs get killed on alley oops

[DapDaGenius]

Can't lie that was a fire dunk by Howard. Bonner did a good job pissing him off, I just wish we could have stopped that pass from connecting.

[hater]

Very concerned about Tony Parker, tbh..thankfully Nash looks just as bad..

The entire team looks confused when Kawhi has the ball and attempts to drive..the bigs don't know where to go when he has the ball and there's no spacing..

tbh TP can get a pass this entire series. as long as everyone shows up.

[DatBoyGood]

Bonner was open there.

[Gagnrath]

Tim's backside Dunk was a nice answer.

[DapDaGenius]

They were trying to get the foul. There is no way in hell they weren't trying to get that.

[loveforthegame]

Timmy. :tu

[MVPCues]

Really enjoying this game. I have felt like hibernating since Wednesday. What a relief now that the playoffs have started.

[Budkin]

Timmy owning Pau

[ace3g]

Timmy!!

[Cry Havoc]

Holy shit tim.

[Budkin]

Damn foul DH

[milkyway21]

12 pts now for Howard we cannot underestimate this guy he was in the Finals before

[Budkin]

No foul??

[Gagnrath]

You know there is a decent chance that the spurs answer the lakers 4 hall of fame players with their own. 4 to 5 with McGrady having a decent chance and depending on how leonard turns out.

[EVAY]

Another no call on Blake

[loveforthegame]

Leonard hustle.

Parker finally.

[superjames1992]

WTF WAS THAT?

[blkroadrunners]

Freakin Manu

[Budkin]

Fucking Manu :bang!

[HarlemHeat37]

What the fuck is Manu doing? That was an easy 2 points..5 point swing, smh..

[spurspokesman]

manu is terrible

[RD2191]

Fuk u Blake

[loveforthegame]

The fuck Manu. Cost us 3.

[DapDaGenius]

We should have had that ball when it was on the ground. Dammit.

[superjames1992]

Tony Parker looks bad, tbh.

[superjames1992]

MANU AND ONE.

[ace3g]

Manu is what again....

[blkroadrunners]

There u go Manu

[capek]

And 1 Manu! Way to get it back :tu

[Cry Havoc]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs

[Budkin]

There we go bitches!!!

[DatBoyGood]

manu

[ace3g]

Baynes checking in

[MVPCues]

The fuck Manu. Cost us 3.

He just got 3 back...

[007nites]

Parker can't hit anything but he's running the offense pretty well

[EVAY]

Parker is trying to force the refs to call fouls on Blake and they just won't do it.

[bklynspursfan]

Baynes?

[capek]

Baynes!!! :wow

[Budkin]

Baynes!

[DapDaGenius]

BAYNES!!!

[Arcadian]

Fast break points!! About fucking time.

[Bill_Brasky]

Manu redeemed 2 seconds after a huge mistake, per par :lol

[hater]

Ginobili!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Budkin]

Hack a Howard!

[007nites]

Baynes doesn't seem to happy with his role here lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Why hack a howard now?

[loveforthegame]

Baynes in just to foul. Awesome. :td

[DapDaGenius]

Baynes!!! :wow

I know. First Joseph, now Baynes. It's been a crazy game so far.

[EVAY]

Fast break points!! About fucking time.

We can only get those with Parker and Ginobili. Green and Kawhi are just awful at it.

[Budkin]

You know he's ready for this shit.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol posters getting excited over a Baynes appearance, not realizing he's going to be in for 2 seconds, tbh..

[capek]

for the hack a dwight :lol

[milkyway21]

Baynes sighting :D

[siraulo23]

i dunno about hackahoward at this time...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Pop is such a dumbass to do hack a howard right there, no need for that just yet.

ugh

[Budkin]

No more.

[Gagnrath]

Blake can't reach in it seems, other than that he is able to have fouls against him.

[loveforthegame]

Parker 3 really?

[DapDaGenius]

That violation saved our balls a bit.

[spurspokesman]

travel on mwp

[Cry Havoc]

What was the call?

[Budkin]

No more Hack a fucking Howard... we're playing well enough.

[Splits]

3 secs

[Nathan89]

Hack-a-shaq strategy: -2

[Floyd Pacquiao]

just gave them 2 points pop stop gambleing

[RD2191]

We should be up 20

[bklynspursfan]

Dwight hit 2 FT's. Crowd should've been louder than they were

[hater]

Perfect Hack a howard, why ppl bitchin

save it for 4th quarter now...

[Gagnrath]

It has a good chance of messing with howards head.

[DapDaGenius]

What was the call?

3 second violation.

[EVAY]

Parker 3 really?

Oh for pete's sake, when Manu is running the point, whoever is in that position has to take the three point position and take the shot if open. Please. get over yourself.

[Brunodf]

Pop with the bads

[Budkin]

travel on mwp

They said 3 seconds.

[hater]

Perfect Hack a howard, why ppl bitchin

save it for 4th quarter now...

[superjames1992]

Matt Bonner: +12
Manu Ginobili: +12
Tim Duncan: +10
