[Captivus]

Manu makes me happy!

[TheGoldStandard]

Parker needs to wake up in the 2nd half, 1/6 shooting is awful

[Rito3d30]

Manu is the boss!!!!!!

[SpurPadre]

A few weeks ago, a lot of people were demanding Manu to retire. You can kneel down and apologize to HIM now.

[benstanfield]

:( Nash in so much pain
:( So brave

[Raven]

12 points in 10 minutes :lol

[NASpurs]

Hopefully TP will join the team in the second half.

[Budkin]

Manu continuing to cover SpursTalk in his feces.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

its like manu taking weeks off has restored his shot...whole new guy out there

[aal04]

feel sorry for baynes.

Blair commited in the air. Baynes came in. Stood straight, and got an all-star call against him. Pop takes him out. Didnt do anything wrong imo

[EVAY]

Manu we love you!!!!!

[bklynspursfan]

GReen and Parker still struggling shooting the ball. BUt that's why having other guys step up is vital

[Proxy]

Manu Ginobili! to all you PoSs that gave up on him

[superjames1992]

Manu - 12 points on 5 shots, 4 assists, 0 turnovers, all in 10 minutes. Efficiency FTW. :toast

[Cry Havoc]

Manu shitting on CoP

You... do realize that Parker isn't healthy, right?

Right?

Fucking Spurs fans.

[Fireball]

Manu really had a nice vacation called regular season ... Now he goes to work

[MmP]

Manu stat line...

4-5 FG 3-4 3-PT 4 AS 1 BL 1 REB 12 pts - 11 Minutes

It's just ridiculous

[phxspurfan]

Parker looks hella done for the season btw

[MmP]

Manu stat line...

4-5 FG 3-4 3-PT 4 AS 1 BL 1 REB 12 pts - 11 Minutes

It's just ridiculous

[emanueldavidginobili]

MANU FUCKING GINOBILI!!!!!!!!!

[100%duncan]

Manu is just clutch. Plain and simple.

[EVAY]

feel sorry for baynes.

Blair commited in the air. Baynes came in. Stood straight, and got an all-star call against him. Pop takes him out. Didnt do anything wrong imo

you're right.

[Uriel]

Bonner +13. Ginobili +11. Blair +10.

Duncan -6.

[Barfunk]

GINO

[RD2191]

Tp9 is still injured.Tiago Splitter is a pussy.Danny Green is the new Matt Bonner.

[Spurs4#5]

spurs fans on here are ridiculous

[HarlemHeat37]

Positives:

- Spurs have a good lead, despite Parker playing horribly, having to survive DeJuan Blair's presence on the floor, Howard playing as well as he possibly can, and the Lakers making 3s..

- Manu looks great again..

- Leonard is active and involved on offense, finally..

- Bonner looks good again..

Negatives:

- Foul trouble

- Blair will probably see more minutes in the 2nd half due to foul trouble

- Tony Parker still looks horrible

- Manu is on a minute restriction, Lakers will make a run if he sits and Tony doesn't turn it around

[blkroadrunners]

:wowManu!

[SpurSwag]

If Parker can somehow get healthy we'll be elite

[dbreiden83080]

That month off Tony had for the ankle should have been the rest of the reg season..

[CGD]

:( Nash in so much pain
:( So brave

Warrior tbh :(

[Kuestmaster]

Manu is so awesome. Thanks to him, Timmy and Kawhi.
Parker is playing horrible right now... I hope he'll be at 100% in the next few daysm we're gonna need him.

[bklynspursfan]

Guys, don't want to jynx it, but we have 3 turnovers.

[mikec]

ginoobliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii lol

[milkyway21]

:nope to Manu haters. this one is a warrior

[TheGoldStandard]

Tony needs to do something to get a rhythm, attack the paint

[Spurs Brazil]

Kawhi and Manu were great in the 1st half. TD and Bonner were also good. We need more from Tony and Tiago

And please Pop, NO MORE BLAIR

[Fireball]

feel sorry for baynes.

Blair commited in the air. Baynes came in. Stood straight, and got an all-star call against him. Pop takes him out. Didnt do anything wrong imo

Yeah but he just came out because there was only one offensive possession left ... Pop only wanted him in for one sequence anyways I think

[siraulo23]

wow did the lakers play so well in the first half

im kinda disappointed how the spurs defended the 3s

but... my god the spurs played out of their minds offensively, last year ish like offense, it was exciting to watch

hopefully they buckle down defensively but the lakers didnt like like a 7th seed in the first half

good game so far

[Captivus]

WHERES TIAGO!!

[DatBoyGood]

If tony could get going and someone else on the bench like neal then game over

[TheGoldStandard]

Well as long as they stop the double teams then we should be better defending the 3 as long as Green doesn't hover in the paint

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

This is the perfect time for Manu to come back!

[Johnny RIngo]

Blair jumping on a Gasol pump fake from 18 feet :lmao

Get this piece of shit off the floor, please..

Blair's the stupidest motherfucker I've ever seen. Wanted to kick my tv after I saw that play

[TheGoldStandard]

Tiago shit the bed so pop benched him.. right now he's on par to make 50 dollars worth of foodstamps for his contract extension

[SpurPadre]

Well at least TP has 5 dimes in the first half so he's contributing to a certain extent and despite the bad shooting, he's moving around a little better than Game 1.

[Brunodf]

Blair's the stupidest motherfucker I've ever seen. Wanted to kick my tv after I saw that play
People wonder why some Spurs fans wanted those scrubs traded

[siraulo23]

Positives:

- Spurs have a good lead, despite Parker playing horribly, having to survive DeJuan Blair's presence on the floor, Howard playing as well as he possibly can, and the Lakers making 3s..

- Manu looks great again..

- Leonard is active and involved on offense, finally..

- Bonner looks good again..

Negatives:

- Foul trouble

- Blair will probably see more minutes in the 2nd half due to foul trouble

- Tony Parker still looks horrible

- Manu is on a minute restriction, Lakers will make a run if he sits and Tony doesn't turn it around

i thought tony looked a little better in terms of movement but manu is running the offense right now

[emanueldavidginobili]

forreal though GOD BLESS Manu Ginobili the dude literally has a heart of a champion

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

If Green doesn't wake up in the playoffs should the Spurs try to trade him? Also, I have faith in Parker still. Duncan didn't play very good but Bonner bailed him out with his scoring (what?)

[HarlemHeat37]

It's beginning to look like Bonner had to sacrifice 2 other Spurs players in a deal with the basketball Gods, tbh:lol..

He swapped the souls of Danny Green and Tiago Splitter in exchange for a playoff clutch gene..

[EVAY]

WHERES TIAGO!!

He had two fouls. Pop was not going to let him back in the game until the third quarter with 2 fouls.

The refs are keeping our big men bottled up.

[Budkin]

Tony will bounce back in 2nd half, and I feel like Splitter will as well.

[TheGoldStandard]

Danny has no trade value like Blair.. they'll let him play out his contract and reap his regular season rewards.

[100%duncan]

TP won't be healthy for the series imho. But let's just hope he's close if not at full 100% in the 2nd round.

[milkyway21]

I don't worry too much about TP. he usually bounches back after halftime...as long as he is not injured, on the floor, takes care of the ball passes it around & limits his turnovers that's fine with me

[TheGoldStandard]

TP has to hit that little jumper though, good looks not going in.

[BillMc]

Really worried about Tony. He just had a ton of time off, yet he's still not right

[HarlemHeat37]

If Green doesn't wake up in the playoffs should the Spurs try to trade him? Also, I have faith in Parker still. Duncan didn't play very good but Bonner bailed him out with his scoring (what?)

I'm a huge Danny Green hater, but is he's a good 8th or 9th man, as many of us have been saying for 2 years..he's too limited to be an important rotation player..he's a good bench guy though, which is essentially the case if Manu continues his resurgence..

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Tony looks like he's moving well.

[HarlemHeat37]

There's a good chance that Nuggets/Warriors goes the distance..

Spurs need to take care of LA in 5 and get some rest for TP, they can't fuck around, tbh..

[ElNono]

:lol Manu trolled us all, tbh..

:lol hater

:lol worse jinx than lefty

:lol need to start hating on Gary Neal and Danny Green

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'm worried about Parker.

[100%duncan]

There's a good chance that Nuggets/Warriors goes the distance..

Spurs need to take care of LA in 5 and get some rest for TP, they can't fuck around, tbh..

Agreed. TP needs all the time he can get.

[hater]

Parker looks like he's carrying a cross out there :lol

[TheGoldStandard]

Hate Reggie Miller

[100%duncan]

And fuck Manu's haters tbh.

[jhuan16]

We should put Baynes on Howard when both Duncan and Splitter were on the bench. Blair and Bonner is not going to work against the Lakers' bigman.

[100%duncan]

We should put Baynes on Howard when both Duncan and Splitter were on the bench. Blair and Bonner is not going to work against the Lakers' bigman.
Bayne's not ready imho. But yeah seeing Blair there hurts my eyes.

[DesignatedT]

I'm worried about Parker.

You're just now worried :lol

[milkyway21]

the other bigs need to step up so TD( :birthday: ) can rest more and less minutes for him.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

You're just now worried :lol

:lol

[spurspokesman]

lets go spurs

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Good start for TP!

[superjames1992]

Tony! Finally!

[LakerHater]

Good start!

[ace3g]

good start

[superjames1992]

Splitter! :toast

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Good start overall!

[Cry Havoc]

TP starting off hot!

FAST BREAK!

[LakerHater]

TIAGO!!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

If Parker hits that mid-range jumper, his lack of explosiveness won't matter as much, since the jumper will always be there

[loveforthegame]

Great start. :tu

[DatBoyGood]

:lol pau

[TheGoldStandard]

and a Tech

[LakerHater]

# 3 & a T!!

[TheGoldStandard]

Tiago's tampon change really helped

[Floyd Pacquiao]

good start niggas lol dwight

[Raven]

suddenly it looks a lot better

[Budkin]

:lol Howard

[EVAY]

One more T and he is gone

[milkyway21]

[Uriel]

:lol D-Ho is frustrated already

[EVAY]

MWP getting a foul too

[TheGoldStandard]

Good job danny being out of position but putting an arm out

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

[DatBoyGood]

Green has beeen quiet

[Uriel]

WTF was that, Green? Smh.

[loveforthegame]

Come on Green.

[TheGoldStandard]

[Raven]

[superjames1992]

Green's help D there. Shoot me.

[LakerHater]

Terrible D!

[spurspokesman]

[superjames1992]

Tiago looks decent tonight, tbh.

[Cry Havoc]

TIAGO! Loving it!

[loveforthegame]

Splitter waking up maybe??

[spurspokesman]

splitter

[DatBoyGood]

Parker hurt??

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Green is just a liability out there.

[EVAY]

Good ball movement by L.A.

[spurspokesman]

keep attacking

[SpurPadre]

Someone worked some voodoo shit where Bonner and Green had their souls switched into each other's bodies.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Does Green call that pick & roll defense?!

[superjames1992]

Parker hurt??
Huh?

[TheGoldStandard]

At least he's hitting FT's

[stxspurs]

Parker needs to wake up in the 2nd half, 1/6 shooting is awful

no joke

[Cry Havoc]

Tony looking so much better this half.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

That foul on Duncan was just to calm Howard down. Horrible call.

[loveforthegame]

4 on Howard.

[stxspurs]

thats 4 sucka

[LakerHater]

#4!

[HI-FI]

crofl that's 4 biatch

[superjames1992]

LOL at Dwight. That technical is a KILLER.

[ffadicted]

4 on dwight lol

[Raven]

and that's game.

[DatBoyGood]

this is the time where we build a huge lead...with howard out

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Tiago's drawn 2 fouls on Howard. Very nice.

[LakerHater]

Mamba # 4!!

[NickiRasgo]

Huh?

He's holding his stomach a while ago.

[spurspokesman]

Duncan gone cold

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Duncan not playing well.

[loveforthegame]

Get Leonard involved maybe?

[EVAY]

Duncan is shooting just like he did in the second half of the last game. Hope he can pick it up

[LakerHater]

Timeout Coach POP!!

[Uriel]

Wow.

[loveforthegame]

FU Green!!

[Cry Havoc]

:lol Blake. The Laker's last best hope to push this series past 4 games. :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Blake finding his rhythm...

[TheGoldStandard]

Continuing to run Green out there even though he contributes nothing.

[stxspurs]

its the 3rd quarter meltdown like always

[Texas_Ranger]

Grenn in full playoff mode.

[Brunodf]

Green jumps for every pumpfake:bang

[phxspurfan]

Add Steve Blake to the list of random guys to torch the Spurs in big games

[spurspokesman]

green turnover then bad rotation

[Budkin]

Awful defense

[TheGoldStandard]

Has Green even scored? God at least Gary will shoot the ball

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Blake just can't miss.

[TheGoldStandard]

You know Green sucks when the suggestion of Gary Neal is made

[HI-FI]

Green is so fucking stupid at times.

[Spurs Brazil]

Green is PATHETIC

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Has Green even scored? God at least Gary will shoot the ball

0-2, 0 points.

[Captivus]

Green jumps for every pumpfake:bang

Unbelievable!

[milkyway21]

if Green's on the floor he shld at least try to shoot 3s

[boutons_deux]

no fluke, Blake shot 42% 3G for the season

[Horse]

You get the feeling Pop only prepared the D for when howard is out there? Everytime that fuck goes to the bench they go on a run.

[Halberto]

who would have thought steve blake would have a larger impact on the game than nash?

[TheGoldStandard]

I have no idea why he is out there he won't shoot and he can't play D

[Darius McCrary]

Starting to doubt Green. Wow, dude just can't flip the switch

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Green needs to be put on the IR list.

[DesignatedT]

Danny Green game grade = F

[spurspokesman]

Grenn in full playoff mode.+1

[TrainOfThought5]

0-2, 0 points.

Dont forget the shitty D and turnovers.

[TheGoldStandard]

I think at this point T-Mac can contribute more than Green.

[crc21209]

Why the fuck does Green jump on EVERY pump fake? It's frustrating...

[superjames1992]

LOL at Dwight playing basketball to "bring joy" to other people. :lol

[TheGoldStandard]

Danny Green is learning from Blair

[100%duncan]

Lakers seem to go into a run with Howard out, coincidence?

[TrainOfThought5]

Cojo > Danny Green

[spurspokesman]

Danny Green game grade = Ftimvp will give him a c

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I hate those possession where Tony decides to shoot no matter what.

[HI-FI]

Reggie Miller is the most annoying analyst since Mark Jackson retired.

[spurspokesman]

spurs look like shit

[superjames1992]

Bonner doing work on D there...

[LakerHater]

Pass Tony!

[100%duncan]

I was done with Green after last season. I dont expect the fuckin pussy to man up.

[Raven]

tony needs to step up tbh

[DatBoyGood]

Bout time

[LakerHater]

& 1!

[Ice009]

Tony man the fuck up, take those mid range jumpers they're giving you and make them god dammn it. :bang:

TP suck at times. I've been saying that him and Lebron are similar (obviously Lebron is at a higher level). When their jumpshots are on and they have confidence in it, they're unstoppable. Lebron has gotten confidence in his jumper and now he is playing at an insane level.

TP still hasn't gotten that confidence in his jumper and he still hasn't got a 3 point shot. TP really needs a three point shot. I have no fucking idea what Chip has been doing with him, but after 6 or 7 years, the best (so called) shooting coach should have developed one with him. It's bordering on negligence that they haven't added one to his game yet. I see no reason why it would not be necessary for them to do so.

[loveforthegame]

There you go Parker.

[TheGoldStandard]

Finally parker doing something physical

[Cry Havoc]

Parker stepping up!

[SpurPadre]

He's holding his stomach a while ago.

Uh, he's got the shits? :huh

[Raven]

called it :lol

[RD2191]

Stfu fagget ass reggie miller

[spurspokesman]

parker goin full hero mode

[superjames1992]

That was a foul on Jamison? NBA, you are too soft, tbh.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I was done with Green after last season. I dont expect the fuckin pussy to man up.

I'll give a young guy a second chance, but that's it, and it should be the same with Pop.

[LakerHater]

Free throws!!!

[LakerHater]

Travel??

[Fabbs]

Get ballhogging Parker out.
Even with the wide open layup he just made.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Bonner playing so well tonight!

[ace3g]

Bonner with an "Oberto" there

[LakerHater]

Good miss by Danny?

[LakerHater]

Yeaaaaah!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Parker nice.

Still need Lronard involved.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Green is so bad!

[superjames1992]

Green, God damn bro....

[Raven]

yeaaaaaaaaah

[spurspokesman]

parker goin to work

[DesignatedT]

wow danny. sit the fuck down.

[loveforthegame]

Green smh.

[Uriel]

Thank God Green is out of here.

[milkyway21]

Blake made 30pts before the playoffs

[LakerHater]

C'mon Danny watch film!! Nash does that all the time!!

[TheGoldStandard]

Green at it again. I think he got a check from LA to shit the bed even harder

[Brunodf]

Green has been garbage

[JingleJangleJingle]

get green out of the game

[Texas_Ranger]

activate Tracy and put Danny in suit

[DatBoyGood]

How is Nash who is like 60% doing this to us?

[DAF86]

Green is not a good defensive player, tbh.

[ffadicted]

fucking green.....

[noles1983]

gimpy nash killing the spurs lol

[spurspokesman]

parker

[Cry Havoc]

GO SPURS GO!

[ace3g]

Artest with a little shove on Manu there in the corner

[superjames1992]

LOL, Nash is crippled. Whoever he is on needs to go iso.

[hater]

:lmao green

[EVAY]

Parker heating up

[SpurPadre]

Would Manu feel healthy enough to start Game 3? Green is having flashbacks to last year's WCF.

[Raven]

take manu out, we don't need him

[Spurs Brazil]

Danny Green is fucking bad
