[ace3g]

Westbrook just did something to his knee

[ace3g]

Beverley went for a steal as West was heading to halfcourt to call timeout, Bev went low and ran into his knee.

[DesignatedT]

He's fine. Just being a primadonna.

[DapDaGenius]

Lakers 101

Spurs 90

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Paul Garcia PS ‏@24writer (https://twitter.com/24writer) 2m (https://twitter.com/24writer/status/327221013899272192) Finally, Coach Pop said Manu Ginobili still isn't physically ready ton play more than 25-30 minutes in a playoff game at this point. #Spurs (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Spurs&src=hash)

Paul Garcia PS ‏@24writer (https://twitter.com/24writer) 14m (https://twitter.com/24writer/status/327218328571609088)
Boris Diaw was in warm-ups. I asked Coach Pop if there's any chance he'll play in the series vs. the #Lakers (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Lakers&src=hash), he said it's "doubtful."

TMac inactive

[Drachen]

Does anyone know if TNT broadcasts games online? I'm not quite sure how to watch it

[spursparker9]

T-Mac inactive again?

[TheGoldStandard]

T-Mac inactive, doesn't have his wind yet for an NBA game plus he's not needed. Should be nice to see how they'll come out with 2 days off, hopefully Parker gets it rolling early and often.

[Drachen]

You equals godsend

[100%duncan]

lol spelling elliott correctly doesn't work anymore. FTL. Fuck the Lakers.

[loveforthegame]

FTL. Go Spurs!

:flag:

[Uriel]

I'd do anything in the world to be in South Texas right now.

:flag:

[Cry Havoc]

I have a game link if anyone needs.

Spurs 105 as Parker finds his rhythm.
Lakers 94 as our D stays strong.

High scorers:
Parker 26
Gasol 19

High rebounds:
Duncan 11
Howard 13

Go Spurs Go.

[Cry Havoc]

Also, you guys should turn on the Rockets Thunder game. It's getting damned close. 5 point game Rox ball with 6 to play.

[DatBoyGood]

Good to see Rockets not giving up. Thought it would turn into another blowout in the 3rd.

[superjames1992]

Lakers - 74
Spurs - 73
This is a reference to something... ;)

FTL.

[Cry Havoc]

If the Rockets steal one from OKC it would be a monumental loss for the Thunderefs. Losing a game with 8 guys on the court is hard to do.

TIE GAME.

[Uriel]

In other news: OKC is falling apart. :lol

[superjames1992]

17-2 run by the Rockets to tie the game at 91.

[superjames1992]

If this Rockets/OKC game goes into OT, though... :bang

[CGD]

Asik is a beast on those boards. Wish Splitter could be that for the spurs.

[Cry Havoc]

HUGE THREE. ZOMG

[Cry Havoc]

Refs gonna ASSert themselves in the last 3 minutes.

[DatBoyGood]

Refs will somehow let OKC win :lol

[Texas_Ranger]

just no OT

[ace3g]

if that was against anyone else it would have been charge...

[100%duncan]

I have a game link if anyone needs.

Spurs 105 as Parker finds his rhythm.

High scorers:
Parker 26

High rebounds:

Go Spurs Go.

PM me? Thanks :toast

[ace3g]

Manu went to the side of his defender 2x in game 6 of WCF last year and both called charges...

[Uriel]

The zone has really discombobulated the Thunder.

[spursfan1000]

106 104 spurs

[superjames1992]

Wow, great find by Durant to give Sefolosha that wide open triple.

[DatBoyGood]

Jodie meeks out tonight.

[Drachen]

Refs gonna ASSert themselves in the last 3 minutes.

Check you notifications

[100%duncan]

Rockets choking par for the course.

[DatBoyGood]

WOW perkins got away with that

[superjames1992]

Wow, I didn't see Ibaka just straight grabbing Parsons there until that replay. Yikes!

[superjames1992]

Jodie meeks out tonight.
Why? Is he injured?

[DatBoyGood]

Why? Is he injured?
Yuuuup. sprained his ankle in game 1

[ace3g]

Harden missing big FTs...

[DatBoyGood]

DAMN! almost houston almost

[Fireball]

:flag: :flag: :flag:

Spurs by 15 ...

[100%duncan]

Houston deserves this shit. Up 4, 3mins to go and you try a fast break. Good going.

[Uriel]

This game is over. Skip to the Spurs game, please.

[superjames1992]

Yuuuup. sprained his ankle in game 1
Pretty big loss.

[ace3g]

Bank!!!

[crc21209]

Wow WTF we're missing the start of the game. Awesome...:td

[TDomination]

argh! i hate being the second game!

[DatBoyGood]

HOU down 3 with 1.4

[Floyd Pacquiao]

fucking pussie ass tnt

[Uriel]

Putang inang TNT 'to, gusto ko nang manood ng laban ng Spurs.

[TDomination]

kawhi with the jumper!

[ace3g]

Tmac intern doing work

[EVAY]

OKC is going to win, but Houston played them hard and it should give Houston some hope for the next game.

[TDomination]

timmy with the block, i don't think he didn't even leave his feet

[DatBoyGood]

Good D timmy

[100%duncan]

lol they shootin like Bird

[TheGoldStandard]

Lakers Hitting 3's early, not a good sign and Danny Green not playing defense like usual

[Floyd Pacquiao]

lakers making fluke 3s

[DatBoyGood]

Parker already looks much better

[TDomination]

spurs wearing alternate unis again

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao Howard

[HarlemHeat37]

Stop leaving shooters open, make them all beat you 1 on 1, tbh..

Danny Green seems to be late on every close out..

[superjames1992]

TIAGO!

[Cry Havoc]

TIAGO SPLITTER

[HarlemHeat37]

Stop leaving shooters open, make them all beat you 1 on 1, tbh..

Danny Green seems to be late on every close out..

[superjames1992]

Bonner coming in.

[HarlemHeat37]

Even though Splitter missed, that was a good move, he needs to remain aggressive..

[100%duncan]

Tiago doin work early.

[TheGoldStandard]

Danny Green patrols the paint for that monster block

[loveforthegame]

Who is Green guarding? He's not close to anyone. smh

[HarlemHeat37]

Great close out from Green, finally..

[TDomination]

green block, khawi lay in!

[superjames1992]

Danny Green... nice block.

[loveforthegame]

Then he gets the block. :lol

[blkroadrunners]

What a move by DHo

[crc21209]

Foul, really?

[Johnny RIngo]

B:lolnner in already

[MVPCues]

KAHWBOOM!!!!

[TheGoldStandard]

Playoff fouls are suspiciously like regular season fouls.

[Chomag]

lmao Bonner looking like a high school player out there on defense.

[Spurs Brazil]

damn, TD and Tiago with early fouls

[RD2191]

:flag:

[Floyd Pacquiao]

dont double no more pop...

[EVAY]

anybody know why nab is not having a game companion on tonight so we can watch the stats?

Anyplace else to get them?

[EVAY]

damn, TD and Tiago with early fouls

refs have been primed.

[Captivus]

Bonner has to know that he has to foul and not let D12 score. Dont try to block it!!

[MVPCues]

Good defense and Kawhi is aggressive on O!

[Floyd Pacquiao]

kawhi being agressive ...i love it

[loveforthegame]

Leonard aggressive again. :tu

[HarlemHeat37]

SMH, Danny Green, tbh..ugh..

[superjames1992]

Nice job, Danny Green. :downspin:

[RD2191]

Fuk u blake

[TheGoldStandard]

Can Danny Green just sit on the bench and pick up a towel with Patty

[100%duncan]

Green sucking balls in the playoffs, does that surprise you.

[spurspokesman]

green sucks

[spurspokesman]

sheesh were cold

[Cry Havoc]

Damn tony that was right there.

[HarlemHeat37]

Parker missing an easy ass look, he needs to make those all day, tbh..

[100%duncan]

Damn hit your open shots please

[superjames1992]

Damn, Bon Bon with two rebounds in a row.

[Cry Havoc]

GOOD D TONY. Forcing Earl into a bad shot.

[TheGoldStandard]

Parker finally being aggressive with nobody in the paint

[spurspokesman]

yup
Parker missing an easy ass look, he needs to make those all day, tbh..

[Raven]

i like the way we are playing, the shots will start falling

[100%duncan]

Nice aggression just keep going. Keep attacking.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

tonys jumper is off...needs to get rhythm back

[EVAY]

At least they called that on Blake. The other night they didn't.

[RD2191]

More garbage

[Captivus]

It looks like the Spurs know what they want to do. It could work or not, but they have a plan.

[RD2191]

Splitter is fukin garbage

[HarlemHeat37]

Stop fucking double-teaming Howard, wow..their perimeter guys can't create, don't let them get in a rhythm..

[spurspokesman]

we look soft

[superjames1992]

MANUUUUUUUU 22222222222222222222222222222

[ace3g]

Manu!!

[loveforthegame]

Manu! :tu

[Cry Havoc]

AIRRRRRRRRRRBALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

LEONARD!

[ace3g]

nice pass Manu!!

[spurspokesman]

manu save us

[loveforthegame]

Leonard is a bad man.

[DatBoyGood]

Manu!

[superjames1992]

Great assist by Manu.

[Cry Havoc]

Kawhi with 8 already. Fucking awesome.

[TheGoldStandard]

We need to box out and stop double teaming..

[blkroadrunners]

Nice aggression by Kawhi this qtr

[100%duncan]

Manu doing work per par.

[Uriel]

The Spurs' offense is looking much better. :tu

Also/ Kahwi with 8 points already.

[EVAY]

Kawhi with 8 already. Fucking awesome.

Where are you finding the stats?

[ace3g]

looks like CJ is checking in after TO

[spurspokesman]

giving up too many threes

[HarlemHeat37]

Parker is obviously a better player than Ginobili at this point, but a player like Leonard seems to benefit much more from playing with Manu, whereas he's just a spot-up shooter with TP, tbh..

I've been waiting all year to see Leonard/Manu together when TP/Duncan sit, they're finally utilizing that combination right now..

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice Manu, good shot, good pass

[100%duncan]

Stop fucking double-teaming Howard, wow..their perimeter guys can't create, don't let them get in a rhythm..

Agreed. Let Tiago handle him 1v1.

[Spurs Brazil]

Stop fucking double-teaming Howard, wow..their perimeter guys can't create, don't let them get in a rhythm..

Where are you finding the stats?
http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400459788

[RD2191]

Tiago cant even score on soft ass pau gasol

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs need to stop treating Howard like Shaq, tbh..

Send an occasional swarming towards him to force a turnover, but stop sending soft double-teams..if he's going to score 40 and make a bunch of FTs, let him..

[spurspokesman]

Lakers have more excuses than a seven time felon.

[loveforthegame]

Where are you finding the stats?

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore?gid=2013042424

[Raven]

damn cheap foul

[superjames1992]

Ugh, Splitter. HUGE FOUL.

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop will wait till the second half to stop doubling.. ugh..

[Cry Havoc]

I actually like Blair on Howard. Let the shawtie prove himself.

[superjames1992]

MANU 3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

[DatBoyGood]

Manu tres

[Cry Havoc]

MANUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[ace3g]

Manu tres!!!

[loveforthegame]

Manu!!

[spurspokesman]

manuuuu

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Interesting that the Spurs used the alt jerseys for both games.

[Uriel]

MANU!

[Raven]

manu looks really confident

[HarlemHeat37]

Looks like this will be the game that the Lakers receive a heavy officiating bias, as Bill Simmons predicted would occur at some point in the series:lol..

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

We'll probably give up less points hacking Howard than we would if we let Blair guard him.

[100%duncan]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuu

[DatBoyGood]

Neal hits first shot good sign

[ace3g]

Neal with it

[TheGoldStandard]

Finally neal shows up

[loveforthegame]

Neal with it!

[Cry Havoc]

NEAL with it.

[Raven]

neaaaaaaaaaal

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Neal!!!

[100%duncan]

Since my stream is delayed I'll stop posting first :lol See ya in halftime

[TheGoldStandard]

Neal trying to go behind the back ala Manu... mixed results but at least aggressive.

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs need to stop treating Howard like Shaq, tbh..

Send an occasional swarming towards him to force a turnover, but stop sending soft double-teams..if he's going to score 40 and make a bunch of FTs, let him..

Pop's overrated coaching at work. What's funny is as soon as we play Denver, he'll have our guards stay on their shooters even though they can't shoot worth a damn.

[Raven]

bad last possession, but still not much to complain

[spurspokesman]

hope neal catches fire

[Cry Havoc]

You can seriously tell Manu steps his game up against the Lakers. Dude wants to beat them so bad.

[benstanfield]

:downspin:"It's a grown man's game"
:downspin: Nobody can lay hands on the biggest player

[Uriel]

:cry :cry :cry Manu's such a game-changer :cry :cry :cry

[TheGoldStandard]

Don't like the early fouls though on our bigs. Manu steps his game up overall for playoffs, big picture player

[HI-FI]

Looks like this will be the game that the Lakers receive a heavy officiating bias, as Bill Simmons predicted would occur at some point in the series:lol..

pretty sad that home cooking doesn't mean shit when playing Thunderefs or Lakerefs

[EVAY]

http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400459788

thnx. got it.

[crc21209]

Loved Neal's 3. But that guy has to have some of the worst clock awareness in the league. How the hell do you not recognize the clock there?

[blkroadrunners]

Solid 1st qtr

[spurspokesman]

You can seriously tell Manu steps his game up against the Lakers. Dude wants to beat them so bad. Im glad about it.

[MVPCues]

Where is that dude that wanted to bet money on the Lakers with us if the Lakers played the Spurs in the PO's?

[TheGoldStandard]

No more double teams

[Captivus]

D12 played the entire 1st quarter.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good 1st quarter. But I'd like to see some adjustments on D. They're hitting shots today

[Fireball]

Good to See Neal hitting One ...

[TheGoldStandard]

D'Antoni doesn't care about resting players, he'll run em' 48 minutes and into the ground.

[HarlemHeat37]

The Lakers scored the majority of their points in that quarter from open 3s, due to the Spurs overplaying Howard, tbh..

[EVAY]

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore?gid=2013042424

thanks.

[spurspokesman]

Loved Neal's 3. But that guy has to have some of the worst clock awareness in the league. How the hell do you not recognize the clock there?
He's fearless and a great shooter but his iq doesn't fly high

[TheGoldStandard]

Good 1st quarter. But I'd like to see some adjustments on D. They're hitting shots today

From open looks w/ double teams or danny green on the defender

[Chomag]

How is D'Antoni a NBA coach? He is so bad, I'll just never understand

[spurspokesman]

This is such a trap series. If we win we were supposed to and if we lose we suck.

[superjames1992]

Manu post up. :toast

[Floyd Pacquiao]

good shit manu

[DatBoyGood]

Please let Manu go throughout the whole game without any injury...whenever he plays well something always messes it up

[EVAY]

This is such a trap series. If we win we were supposed to and if we lose we suck.

So let's just win and not worry about it.

[RD2191]

Splitter looking like another no show

[ace3g]

CJ!!!

[Uriel]

CoJo :wow

[loveforthegame]

Joseph!

[blkroadrunners]

CoJo nice shot

[MVPCues]

Is CoJo gonna do some growing up this series?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

wow cojo

[ace3g]

where was the foul there?

[DatBoyGood]

Got fouled too

[milkyway21]

3pt shots ! who will prevail :dizzy

[superjames1992]

I am on the Cojo bandwagon.

[TheGoldStandard]

Why is Danny green back in?

[MVPCues]

CoJo got around that screen so fast and pressured the shot...

[RD2191]

You can tell stern called the refs

[SpurPadre]

Maybe this will be the game where Kawhi introduces himself to the world as a star in the making?

[spurspokesman]

phantom calls

[Uriel]

Ugh. What was that?

[EVAY]

You can tell stern called the refs

Yes you can

[superjames1992]

Blair.............

[loveforthegame]

Blair is garbage. :td

[TheGoldStandard]

Horrible line up right now.. nobody to create

[spurspokesman]

Blair sucks

[Floyd Pacquiao]

lol blair fuk up

[noles1983]

Blair is fucking useless

[blkroadrunners]

Argh...Blair has to finish that

[Splits]

Blair smh. Horrible transition D

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Team is way better with Manu on the floor. Blair is just too short.

[TheGoldStandard]

Tony needs to be back in the game

[Uriel]

You gotta got Tony or Manu back in there. No one else can create their own shot.

[TheGoldStandard]

And no foul for Timmy

[spurspokesman]

Blair couldn't move Jamison for a layup smh

[loveforthegame]

These refs serious?

[DAF86]

Somebody tell Pop this is the playoffs please.

[Cry Havoc]

Where the fuck was the foul.

[HarlemHeat37]

Wow, Blair doing what he does best, tbh..

What the fuck is this lineup for the Spurs?..

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck Blair

[noles1983]

way to go spurs....

[Raven]

duncan got fouled there

[SpurPadre]

Ok Blair, you've sabotaged the team enough back to the bench you go where you can rot for a while.

[EVAY]

duncan got fouled there

ya think?

[RD2191]

Son of a bitch
