lego spurs, hope the good guys don't come out to rusty and lethargic and have the appropriate amount of energy to compete. should be one hell of a series, defense will be key and should tell the story weather they win or not GSG.

[blkroadrunners]

Let's get er done.

Spurs by 8.

Pop's 200th playoff game. Only Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, and Jerry Sloan have gotten past that mark.

Pop's 200th playoff game. Only Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, and Jerry Sloan have gotten past that mark.

If there was a Mount Rushmore for NBA coaches Pop would definitely be up there...

[heyheymymy]

gotta control curry and the pace. GO SPURS GO!

[Darius McCrary]

If we allow Curry to beat us, we stink.

[Stabula]

Game plan should be to injure Curry. Get a scrub like De Colo to do it.

[MmP]

:toast

[milkyway21]

NO to small ball.

:pimpslap :nutkick: knock them out Spurs! 1-0 :flag:

[LakerHater]

Gregg Popovich watched the slow-starting 1Q of Heat, who had similar layoff to Spurs. "It scared me," Pop said. "I turned it off."

[bklynspursfan]

J.A. Adande (https://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=jadande) @jadande
Boris Diaw will start for Spurs. Tiago Splitter is out.

[Robz4000]

Son of a bitch Splitter...

[Jumi]

It's game time!!!

[superjames1992]

Is it just me or is this Heat game going to run over?

[BatManu20]

Is it just me or is this Heat game going to run over?

Na Heat will pull away down the stretch and the game will speed up. Plus our game will probably start 10-15 min late.

:lol wouldn't surprise me if the Heat game goes to like double OT and we end up missing the 1st quarter

[Fireball]

:flag: :flag: :flag:

I am very excited for this game ... Sad that all the talk about Splitter returning was nonsense ...

[Austin_Toros]

Who tf are you? You can't just start a game thread at any ol time.

:lol it seems that these days someone new is trying to start the game thread each time

[DarrinS]

Kill them in the paint -- chase them off the 3 pt line

[Russ]

:lol wouldn't surprise me if the Heat game goes to like double OT and we end up missing the 1st quarter

Has the start of any 2d game of a doubleheader ever been seen on TNT?????

Hopefully, the start of the Spurs game will be switched to NBA TV, ESPN 17, or some such station.

[Brazil]

Thanks Floyd for the game thread :tu

[LittleCriminal]

Should start Baynes!!

[Whisky Dog]

:lol it seems that these days someone new is trying to start the game thread each time
timvp never showed up and someone had to do it

I hope so don't wan to miss any of the game, anyone have any info on this?

[TrueSpursFan]

Ok so 8:50 pm :)
or run later it will be on TBS

[100%duncan]

Let's get this shit started man.

[spurastic]

announcers just mentioned that the game would be started on an alternate channel if this chi vs mia went over. but I missed which one

[Flawless]

tbs

[spurfan 21]

damn 9:15 start now!!! i need my spurs fix already!! they are my heroin!!!

[TrueSpursFan]

announcers just mentioned that the game would be started on an alternate channel if this chi vs mia went over. but I missed which one

TBS

[EVAY]

I thought they said tbs but it is not on tbs at least not yet

[crc21209]

Lets do this! Go Spurs Go!

[Supreme_Being]

Anyone watching Bulls-Heat? Darn I wish the Bulls win.

[superjames1992]

We will bury them.

[Paulie]

I predict an appearance by the Spurs on Family Guy any minute now..

[NASpurs]

Thanks Floyd for the game thread :tu

What if i were to tell you that Floyd Pacquiao is Amuseddaysleeper's troll?

[milkyway21]

Heat vs Bulls game is a wake up call.

:flag:

[Kool Bob Love]

:flag:

[superjames1992]

CHICAGO TAKES THE LEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DatBoyGood]

Crazy with all the injuries this bulls team has, they still make it tough for any opponent

[capek]

GSG!!! :flag:

[Supreme_Being]

You gotta love Noah.

[Rito3d30]

the bulls is really putting up a fight
not for long though:(

[superjames1992]

Wade Hero Ball. :lol

[Paulie]

:lmao Go Bulls! Hope they hang on

[jestersmash]

Chicago might pull this off. A 4 point lead against the thunderefs in this situation isn't safe at all, but against the Heat? They have a legitimate shot at stealing game 1.

[milkyway21]

4pt adv now for the bulls :tu

[Arcadian]

God dammit, hurry up and start the game already. We've waited long enough.

[Flawless]

Damn! Nate carrying that bulls team :wow

[spurfan 21]

nate is a lil beast.. love his heart.. noah as well.. just wow! shock the world bulls!

[Fireball]

This game just shows anything can happen ... Warriors can be scrappy

[jestersmash]

Ball game.

[Spurs Brazil]

James :lol

[Floyd Pacquiao]

there starting on tbs now

[superjames1992]

Bulls win. Wow.

[Spurs Brazil]

C-Webb? damn

[loveforthegame]

Green. :tu

[milkyway21]

you know what team effort for Chicago... Noah, Butler, Nate.

forget the seeding.. the two teams Bulls vs Heat - perfect match

[milkyway21]

Bugot :(

[loveforthegame]

Terrible start. :td

[Floyd Pacquiao]

smh d-up

[JingleJangleJingle]

great now that the heat lose the Spurs are going to lose as well.

[superjames1992]

Lots of scrubbing going on right now.

[superjames1992]

great now that the heat lose the Spurs are going to lose as well.
LOL, we're three minutes in.

[loveforthegame]

:td

[Uriel]

:lol rust

[Whisky Dog]

Terrible on both ends

[SpurPadre]

Man...that's what happens when you start crowning teams already. ESPN had been going on and on about how their beloved Heat were going to run the table in these playoffs.

[Rito3d30]

damn foul the 3pt shooter?

[superjames1992]

WTF KAWHI!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BatManu20]

Spurs looking rusty as hell.

[Captivus]

WAKE UP!

[superjames1992]

WE NEED MANU!

[Paulie]

Spurs look scared

[JingleJangleJingle]

lol we suck :(

[Fireball]

Timmy always makes his first jumper ... We are fucked

[loveforthegame]

Finally.

[Rito3d30]

TP for 2

[Arcadian]

Yeah, we're rusty. Let's not pull a Miami Heat now.

[SpurPadre]

They'll shake this off soon, tbh. What's gotten into Bogut lately, though? Damn.

[capek]

Duncan has the flu? that sucks

[Uriel]

Over Duncan. Oh my.

[Rito3d30]

bad start, not a horrible one
hope Pop will wake these guys up in TO

[DatBoyGood]

Still early, come 2nd half this team will get in rhythm

[Paulie]

GS has a lot of confidence. Spurs need to squash that real quick and quit messin around

[SpurPadre]

Duncan has the flu? that sucks

Stomach flu not the regular flu, right?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

just got to get back in rhythm, get the bench going...and damn green please fight harder on screens and try not give curry 5ft of space

[jestersmash]

We're down 6 after going what, 1-11? The doom and gloom is totally unwarranted.

[Spurs Brazil]

bad start. I hope Manu brings the energy now

[Darius Bieber]

Injuries cannot be an excuse.. Bulls just beat the Heat in Miami without Heinrich, Rose and Deng.

[Budkin]

Just bricking a bunch. No worries.

[Raven]

bad start, but glad to see green already made a 3

[SpursIndonesia]

We're down 6 after going what, 1-11? The doom and gloom is totally unwarranted.

excuse me, down 8 ? 15-7, right ??

[superjames1992]

The Red Mamba is in.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

excuse me, down 8 ? 15-7, right ??
yeah it should be 15-7.

[BatManu20]

Damn we look shitty. Come on fellas

[m33p0]

predictable rust

[superjames1992]

Bogut is owning Duncan, tbh.

[loveforthegame]

Predictable offense.

[Budkin]

Just gotta hit a few

[SpursIndonesia]

scoreline please ?

[CGD]

Too much rest showing here

[Raven]

manu is sooooooooo crafty

[Budkin]

We'll be good by the 2nd

[superjames1992]

Wow, Manu made both of his free throws.

[m33p0]

17-11 after 2 manu free throws

[blkroadrunners]

Surprised Pop put in Bonner first. This is Blair's series.

[Budkin]

Too much rest showing here

Game 1 NBA Finals 2005 started 2-17

[Johnny RIngo]

Team looks terrible on both ends of the floor - hopefully it's just rust

[blkroadrunners]

Neal with it

[Uriel]

How could we possibly be rusty? :tu It's not like we haven't been scrimmaging. It's still basketball.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Just bricking a bunch. No worries.

Heat fans were saying this today, I imagine.

[loveforthegame]

Neal with it,

[SpursIndonesia]

17-11 after 2 manu free throws

Tq mate. :)

[superjames1992]

Parker looks terrible so far.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Timmay

[m33p0]

somebody tell gary neal handchecking a guy 30 feet out is a no-no.

[Kool Bob Love]

Damn Spurs aint even play a quarter yet but already with the cliff jumpin!

RELAX.

[crc21209]

:lol At that being a foul on Neal after the way Bogut has been playing TD. Weak...:td

[Whisky Dog]

The announcer said it's been a grueling game. It's the first quarter

[Brunodf]

Neal on Jack...Here we go

[RD2191]

Lets get it going guy. Come on.

[Budkin]

Parker looks terrible so far.

No he doesn't.

[Darius Bieber]

These fouls don't seem to be equally called.. Timmy gets hacked and nothing is called, then these ticky-tack calls on Bonner and Neal on defense.

[Arcadian]

We're fine.

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs and Heat have both looked rusty from the layoff, tbh..

[turkish spurs fan]

ginobili helped spurs to stand. my manu

[CGD]

Heat fans were saying this today, I imagine.
Props to the Bulls. 2nd fave team status.

[Spurs Brazil]

It's getting better, but Warriors with a lot of easy baskets

[milkyway21]

Curry 4 TOs, 1-5FG good D

[Whisky Dog]

Game 1 NBA Finals 2005 started 2-17

And against a much much better team than GS. Although the Spurs were better then too

[superjames1992]

No he doesn't.
1-5 from the field.

Not saying he won't be good later in the game, but he looks a bit off thus far.

[Darius McCrary]

Spurs look like diarrhea.

[Blue-Lightning]

Can someone tell Manu he isn't useful? He's the freaking catalyst when things get tough.

[Fireball]

Curry 4 TOs, 1-5FG good D

Curry always seems to start slow though

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Blair didn't even put a hand up to contest that shot..

[Floyd Pacquiao]

lol blairs defense

[CGD]

So freakin jealous of my 'rents who are at the game. Stuck in freaking Michigan, sigh

[m33p0]

neal with it!

[DatBoyGood]

Blair smh

[DAF86]

lol turd towers :lol

[BatManu20]

Any team that plays Bonner and Blair is not going to scare anybody tbh..

[HarlemHeat37]

This is why Blair shouldn't play, and why Blair's success against LA was bad news going forward, tbh..

[RD2191]

Come on man.

[superjames1992]

Blair is being abused.

[BillMc]

Blair is useless.

[Whisky Dog]

Blair gives up 5 easy points

[Brunodf]

:lolPeople who thought that Blair would be good vs Landry

[loveforthegame]

Blair is trash again.

[Raven]

i've seen enough, get blair the fuck out

[BatManu20]

Put T-Mac in dammit!

[crc21209]

This is exactly why Splitter is needed. Because that should be Diaw out there right now not Blair. God he fucking sucks...

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Cmon Blair pick it up!

[superjames1992]

WTF was that shot, Blair?

[DatBoyGood]

Neal came to play!

[blkroadrunners]

Ugh, Blair..

[Raven]

blair F---

[HarlemHeat37]

Wow, now Blair allows the offensive rebound and then bricks a shot..

Get him off the fucking floor, wow..this is the 2nd round, this fat ass nigga shouldn't be playing..

[Spurs Brazil]

GTFO Blair. Damn Pop

[Supreme_Being]

GET BLAIR OUTTA THE FUCKIN GAME DAMNIT

[Budkin]

It's the defense that's worrying me. It's not there.

[superjames1992]

BONNER 3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

[milkyway21]

Curry always seems to start slow though

right... :(

[Warlord23]

Blair is useless

[Horry Hipcheck]

Props to the Bulls. 2nd fave team status.

Absolutely have to admire their resolve. Nate and Noah have been outstanding these playoffs.

[bklynspursfan]

Worst thing about Splitter not playing is Blair is.......

[m33p0]

matty!

[DAF86]

C'mon Pop. How much more obvious do you want it?

[loveforthegame]

Bonner. :tu

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

THATS HOW YOU DO IT BLAIR!

[Horry Hipcheck]

Defense is starting to pick up.

[Budkin]

Bonner just doing what he do

[milkyway21]

red mamba 3!

[superjames1992]

Not sure if I've ever seen the Red Mamba take advantage of a pump fake like that, tbh. I like it.

[BatManu20]

TO's, TO's, TO's

[Johnny RIngo]

lol at this shitty frontcourt...embarrassing that these two clowns started next to Timmy at one point

[CGD]

Oh Blair; Bonner has earned his keep in my book

[RD2191]

This is embarrassing

[blkroadrunners]

lol Manu

[SpurPadre]

Coming into this series, I was worried Bonner's 1st round showing was a fluke. So far, he's started right where he left off.

[loveforthegame]

Manu!!!

[Horry Hipcheck]

GINOBILI PUTS IT BACK UP AFTER THE BLOCK. BOOM.

[~Sweetmelody~]

Manu! YES!

[m33p0]

is it just me or is it getting HAWT?!

[Supreme_Being]

only manu can do that shit tbh

[milkyway21]

Manu ! :elephant

[superjames1992]

This is embarrassing
No, it's not.

[RD2191]

We're going to lose this game.

[blkroadrunners]

Manu and Neal are making it close

[DatBoyGood]

that exactly the type of play manu would get hurt on

[HarlemHeat37]

Man, I've never disliked a Spurs player as much as I dislike Dejuan Blair, tbh..

Not only is he terrible, but he actually has the balls to complain about PT, smh..

[m33p0]

manu is damn crafty :lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Lucky that wasn't a charge imo

[Budkin]

That rust falling off now.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

lol blair being terible per par the 3s are keeping us in it

[crc21209]

Blair and Neals defense is killing us. Except Neal is making shots...

[xtremesteven33]

Man, I've never disliked a Spurs player as much as I dislike Dejuan Blair, tbh..


Out of all players, why him?

[urunobili]

jeez we're looking like the Heat :depressed

[Trill Clinton]

no worries

[blkroadrunners]

Considering the big layoff and Duncan's illness, solid first qtr for the Spurs.

[m33p0]

only down 3 after a long layoff. (28-25)

[Captivus]

NBA LP is not showing the scoreboard!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Okay, we were always going to be rusty to start the game, and that was the case. Should be stronger in the 2nd Q.

[Baynes]

whew! finally got a smooth livestream! GO SPURS GO!

[Horry Hipcheck]

Man, I've never disliked a Spurs player as much as I dislike Dejuan Blair, tbh..

Not only is he terrible, but he actually has the balls to complain about PT, smh..

Remember Rasho? I absolutely hated that guy in a Spurs uniform.

[Captivus]

NBA LP is not showing the scoreboard!!

As soon as i post...there it is!

[SpursIndonesia]

down 3 while shooting like shit for the most part of the 1st quarter, not bad ....

[MVPCues]

They will be ok. I predict a 2 point lead at half and a big 3rd quarter.

[therealtruth]

Pop should have started Baynes.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bench did a good job. Defense must improve

NO MORE BLAIR

[urunobili]

NBA LP is not showing the scoreboard!!

not even showing the game for paid subscribers internationally :(

[jestersmash]

excuse me, down 8 ? 15-7, right ??

Down 3. We're shooting 39% from the field. They're shooting 57%. And we're down 3.

[Whisky Dog]

Can't keep giving guys like Green, Landry, Bogut, Thompson good looks like this.

[Kool Bob Love]

no worries


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z25pGEGBM4

[Horry Hipcheck]

I won't be surprised if the Spurs don't really get into gear into the 3rd.

[m33p0]

lol at the negativity. there were times in the past when spurs would lose the first game of the first round and still sweep the rest of the series.

[HarlemHeat37]

It's one thing to be a shitty player that hasn't learned how to play defense(I understand his height limits him, but most of his defensive mistakes are mental, tbh), but it's exacerbated by going on Twitter and complaining about fucking playing time, tbh..

[BillMc]

Rusty quarter is over. We'll be ok by halftime

[Legacy]

*whew* Craziness. :p:

[milkyway21]

we're doing fine. take it easy!

[Trill Clinton]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z25pGEGBM4

you see timmy, right there! you see tony, right there! kawai, right there!! we aint got no worries!!

[hooperflash]

Baynes needs to be our third big seriously.. TD, Diaw, and Baynes (with Tiago injured)

[crc21209]

Splitter needs to hurry ass back, because if he plays that keeps Blair on the bench...

[HarlemHeat37]

Draymond Green fucking sucks, his shooting needs to cool down at some point, tbh..hopefully it's against the Spurs, rather than next round..

[superjames1992]

Remember Rasho? I absolutely hated that guy in a Spurs uniform.
Really? Why?

[Whisky Dog]

Manu, Green, and Neal with 3s have saved us that quarter. Need to play better all around

[weebo]

Just like that blair scores

[Horry Hipcheck]

lol at the negativity. there were times in the past when spurs would lose the first game of the first round and still sweep the rest of the series.

To be fair, we're not playing 2005/2007 Denver.

[Fireball]

NBA LP is not showing the scoreboard!!

yeah, when its there you always have the announcers telling you the score as well ... But when its missing, they are silent as fuck ..

[Captivus]

not even showing the game for paid subscribers internationally :(

Im watching it from Argentina

[CGD]

Any chance we see HWSNBN In this series?

[Horry Hipcheck]

Really? Why?

Like Blair, his miscues and clumsiness seemed to outweigh his contributions. I remember more of his blunders than his solid plays. Just IMO.

[weebo]

This defense is not going to work.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Where is Baynes?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!M

[CGD]

Im watching it from Argentina
Probably a dumb question but could you get TNT overtime internationally? Great live stream

[RD2191]

Lol what a fukin joke

[superjames1992]

FOUR ASSISTS FOR MANU.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Steal by Gino!
