Round 2, Game 2: Spurs vs Warriors - May 8 @ 8:30 PM CST (TNT)

[Brazil]

They will cool off like Ibaka in 2012.....oh wait

[Johnny RIngo]

:lol Neal with one of those worse defensive plays I've ever seen.

The rapist is one of the dumbest players on the team. All year he's been leaving 3 point shooters open just to double someone that doesn't need that much defensive attention

[naico]

Neal giving the Warriors instant offense :rollin

[Warlord23]

Aside from TD/TP, the rest of the team is 2-10 on FGs

[CGD]

Looking forward to some splitter Manu PnR.

[dbreiden83080]

For people freaking out about the Warriors' shooting, they are getting WIDE open looks. Our perimeter defense outside of Kawhi, and maybe Green, is atrociously bad.

Curry just needs an inch to get his shot off. No defense for that..

[MSPaint]

Cojo.

[Darius McCrary]

Its becoming more and more apparent that GS poses match up difficulty with us.

If splitter is healthy enough to play, we should have started him and tried to play spurs basketball...OH WAIT, Pop always reacts with match UPS never dictates

[RD2191]

It's only the 1st quarter.
exactly, wait until the 3rd

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Splitter already having an impact.

[SupremeGuy]

Come on refs, Manu was fouled like 3 different times there. WTF?

[Cry Havoc]

Playing some defense finally.

[100%duncan]

Manu needs to go 1st round LA on these bitches.

[TheGoldStandard]

Just have to keep pushing Curry to get him in foul trouble.. Can't play around.

[Cry Havoc]

Tiago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ace3g]

Master Splitter!!

[Brazil]

Nice tiago

[Johnny RIngo]

Kawhi has given Thompson several wide open looks, tbh.

The perimeter D is attroicious. It's almost as if Pop has instructed the team to leave their shooters open

[100%duncan]

Bullshit. :lol

[DatBoyGood]

Landry. really?

[TDfan2007]

Manu has been a traffic cone this series.

[MSPaint]

exactly, wait until the 3rd

Fair enough.

[RD2191]

fuk this pussy shit, we need to punch someone

[BatManu20]

They're getting way too many easy attempts in the paint. Our D looks sub-par right now. Gotta step it up.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Splitter is pretty unlucky. That shot by Landry was pretty much a pass to himself.

[100%duncan]

Fuck :lol

[Southwest Texas Fan]

I wish Diaw would shoot!

[spursfan09]

Looks easy for warriors, looks hard for the spurs

[superjames1992]

Gary Neal is Blind.

[SpurSwag]

steph curry is the greatest shooter i've ever seen tbh

[dbreiden83080]

We are in deep trouble..

We don't match up with this team..

[JingleJangleJingle]

nice moving screen

[BatManu20]

Curry is eating us up

[DatBoyGood]

at this point it looks like we are going to get absolutely destroyed in the bay area :lol

[100%duncan]

Tiago needs to learn some post moves this season. Fucker lives on the PnR alone.

[RD2191]

we are outmatched, plain and simple. its over folks.

[dolacheck]

What has happened to the Spurs?? Or are the Warriors just that good now?? I cant freakin tell but its hard watching this game!

[Raven]

wtf cmon this dude can't be serious

[Darius McCrary]

we are outmatched, plain and simple. its over folks.

[Cry Havoc]

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4qjmpE3QR1qc8f11o1_500.jpg

[widowmaker]

Nice moving screen.

[TDfan2007]

fuk this pussy shit, we need to punch someone

You're one of the worst fans on this forum.

[SpurSwag]

This pisses me off so much because no one matches up with this team, they simply don't miss jump shots. What is considered great defense on 99% of shooters doesn't work on thompson and especially curry

[MSPaint]

Cool, you can move AND screen now.

[TampaDude]

Stephen Curry is not human.

[JingleJangleJingle]

the Spurs have to undercut Curry after every shot...it's selfish but we can't get embarrassed by the Warriors.

[Darius Bieber]

Lmao same like last game. Don't think the Spurs can pull off another miracle comeback..

[Ice009]

What is the fuckwit Neal doing.

HE IS NOTHING COMPARED TO CURRY OR THE BEST SCORERS IN THE NBA, BUT HE ACTS LIKE HE IS.

[DAF86]

Diaw has to shoot. That last offensive possesion got fucked thanks to his passive ass.

And fuck Curry.

[HarlemHeat37]

Warriors are still at +145 for gamblers out there..great insurance for this game in case the Spurs lose, fan tax:lol..

I won heavy on the +9 in game 1 and I had the Dubs at +7.5 tonight, I just bet an extra 100 on live +145 money line..

[Cry Havoc]

we are outmatched, plain and simple. its over folks.

God damn you are the most massive tool I've ever seen on a sports forum. You're worse than fucking Lakers fans.

[russellgoat]

:lol Stern wants to fuck the warriors

[BatManu20]

at this point it looks like we are going to get absolutely destroyed in the bay area :lol

That's my real concern. That's why this game is huge.

[Brunodf]

Neal shot selection:bang

[100%duncan]

These are the times when I just look at the Knicks and Heat and say, wow you have Indiana and Chicago. :lmao

[hoopdreams11]

Manu looks slow today and G Neal defense is terrible so far might we see TMac

[Warlord23]

What is disgusting is the rebounding ... how in the hell are Barnes / Green / Landry are hurting us on the offensive glass

[crc21209]

The Warrios get away with alot on their screens. They move and hold alot while setting them. There's a reason Kawhi got there late...

[TheGoldStandard]

I think Diaw needs to be aggressive when he has the ball and not in the sense of pump fake when he is open at the 3 point line and drive to pass the ball, but actually take that shot.

[Cry Havoc]

steph curry is the greatest shooter i've ever seen tbh

Best shooter ever. No doubt in my mind.

He'll be a top 3 player in the league next year, close to Durant level if not = to KD.

[mikec]

The Warriors are a REALLY bad matchup for the Spurs.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

we are outmatched, plain and simple. its over folks.

Are you a Spurs fan?

[naico]

Manu and Neal are killing us on defense. Splitter looks very rusty. And a LOT of illegal screens on GS's side.

[CGD]

If Neal isn't scoring he needs to get the f out of the game. Gives up too much on D.

[superjames1992]

we are outmatched, plain and simple. its over folks.

Then don't watch. Problem solved. Go root for the Heat.

[FromWayDowntown]

Whatever else is true, the Spurs look slow and aren't playing the game with much aggression so far. They also can't convert anything that is contested at the rim, which is extremely troubling.

[Manu20]

Chris Webber is Sean Elliott for the Warriors......Seriously can't stand the commentary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[024]

Spurs need to start playing way more physical. Maybe they can reality check the Warriors down to earth. Right now it's like Jackson fed them a bunch of speed, making them feel invincible.

[DatBoyGood]

Manu looks like he got older over the week rest :lol

[Ice009]

Spurs can't seem to keep up on offense and the defense is average.

That is where they are at right now. Gotta change that.

Would have been great if we could have traded Stephen Jackson for a low post player like Al Jeffereson. We have no one that can get us easy baskets inside apart from Tim, but he is not finding it so easy either.

[ace3g]

Red Mamba, lol

[100%duncan]

B:lolnner

[BatManu20]

LOL Bonner

[Cry Havoc]

Bonner with some BS and an and1

[TheGoldStandard]

Bonner sighting

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Splitter !

[superjames1992]

Wow, nice post by the Red Mamba.

[RD2191]

God damn you are the most massive tool I've ever seen on a sports forum. You're worse than fucking Lakers fans.
ok king optimist

[Cry Havoc]

Spurs making some mistakes happen.

[Cry Havoc]

ok king optimist

Ok tool.

[BatManu20]

Parker needs to keep attacking Curry. Pick up his 3rd foul

And wtf is up with our interior D!

[ace3g]

Kawhi doing work!!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

I really wish Pop would play Baynes.

[BatManu20]

There you go Kawhi

[100%duncan]

Our inside D is atrocious without Tim. Clearly Tiago is not yet fully healthy.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Anyone calling the series for the Dubs right now kindly gtfo

[DatBoyGood]

didnt people say that this warriors team plays no defense?

[loveforthegame]

Keep posting Leonard. He's drawing fouls.

[MSPaint]

That's my real concern. That's why this game is huge.
I agree this game is huge. But I believe spurs can get it down in Oakland if need be.

[JingleJangleJingle]

fuck Kawhi can't make anything

[TDfan2007]

Warriors make it look so easy against us. Kawhi really needs to start hitting shots.

[Raven]

good job kawhi

[100%duncan]

What the fck happened to Kawhi's shot?

[m33p0]

can we get neal out of there now, pretty please?

[dbreiden83080]

KL can't buy one..

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Come on Kawhi we need those.

[EVAY]

What's with Kawhi's foul shooting?

[BatManu20]

Damn Kawhi's shot is MIA

[superjames1992]

Kawhi can't shoot for shit now, even at the FT line. Embarrassing, tbh.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[loveforthegame]

Leonard struggling. Aggressive though.

[Warlord23]

1-4 FTs for KL

[RD2191]

:downspin:

[TheGoldStandard]

Wow no foul on that ?

[100%duncan]

Wow fuck you.

[BatManu20]

TIME OUT

[ace3g]

Matthew R Tynan matthew_Tynan

(http://twitter.com/Matthew_Tynan)At shootaround today, the Spurs had Kawhi running through post-up drills on Baynes. One after the other. They know he's getting mismatched.


damn needed those FTs

[LakerHater]

Here we fuckin go again!

[Cry Havoc]

God damn they never miss.

[stephen jackson]

were really this bad?

[DatBoyGood]

wow.

[$pursDynasty]

get Splitter out looks invisible out there.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs suck, they just aren't very good.

[Mal]

Spurs are getting anihilated

[dbreiden83080]

This team is not this good..

Memphis will probably hammer them... We just suck right now

[Darius Bieber]

Wow, Golden State can't be that good.

[m33p0]

:bang:bang:bang

[JingleJangleJingle]

gameover unless we start undercutting those jump shots.

[hoopdreams11]

Splitter messing up his big payday

[SupremeGuy]

Can't believe they didn't call that foul on Thompson. BS.

[HarlemHeat37]

Warriors are going to cool down eventually, tbh..Curry is the only consistent scorer on their roster..

Klay Thompson has been playing way above his head, he was terrible during the regular season, tbh..

Unfortunately for the Spurs, they may not cool down until they get Memphis or OKC..

[Brunodf]

:lolGreat boxout Bonner

[BatManu20]

Anybody else starting to realize that they're just the better team.. :depressed

[Crookshanks]

This is getting hard to watch. I didn't think Golden State was this good.

[biskvito]

Ezeli making some damage on both ends

[superjames1992]

Does GS ever miss open shots?

[SpurSwag]

this warriors team is making me so fucking angry, how can they possibly shoot this well? it scares me because i don't expect them to start missing, they aren't just hot. This team really might have one of the best shooting back court in history

[TDfan2007]

Thompson is shitting all over our pathetic defense.

[Warlord23]

Spurs 31, Curry/Thompson 30

[100%duncan]

We can't afford to get blown out again. Spurs are not going to make a miracle run again tbh.

[Richie]

Warriors offense just too good for this Spurs defense

[Southwest Texas Fan]

::nopedownspin:

[naico]

Our defense is ATROCIOUS

[RD2191]

so tell me again how we aren't outmatched?

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs defense is scary bad

[polandprzem]

WTF spurs playing?

[TheGoldStandard]

This is where Jack would have come in handy.. run him at Thompson and Curry

[mikec]

No way I can see us winning this series with the way the Warriors are shooting. You just expect every single shot of theirs to go in.

[Ice009]

Fuck, Spurs could get blown out at home here.

LOL in Oakland they will get annihilated. PATHETIC SOFT, SOFT, SOFT PLAY FROM THE SPURS. SPURS ARE PLAYING LIKE THIS IS PRESEASON. WHERE IS THE INTENSITY?

[loveforthegame]

Are we in Oakland? No calls at all. F this.

[$pursDynasty]

Dubs are top heavy we need to try to get some fouls on Curry and Thompson

[Johnny RIngo]

Splitter/Bonner getting outrebounded by guards. lol at the morons that say Splitter isn't soft

[BackHome]

What that fuck is Pop trying to give the game away? Splitter is not doing a damn thing and is barely running the floor it is obvious that he is either hurt or not in playing conditon. At this point put in Blair or Bayens and get his ass out....COME ON MAN..!!!!!

[ace3g]

only positive right now, 3 of their players have 2 fouls

[dbreiden83080]

Warriors are going to cool down eventually, tbh..Curry is the only consistent scorer on their roster..

Klay Thompson has been playing way above his head, he was terrible during the regular season, tbh..

Unfortunately for the Spurs, they may not cool down until they get Memphis or OKC..

If they lose tonight they have find some way to get 1 in GS. Hopefully as the series goes on they feel the pressure..

[spursfan09]

It's fluky. Warriors need to cool down. Spurs will get a little hotter

[Cry Havoc]

Here we go.

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs are getting great looks, they're just missing..

Parker's jump shot is broken, Kawhi is missing tonight, Manu has been horrible overall, etc..

The looks have been good, Spurs can't make dick..

[dbreiden83080]

Crowd getting loud.

[TheGoldStandard]

Crowd waking up and Spurs waking up.. gotta play tough.

[BatManu20]

Tony taking over. We need him to.

[Captivus]

GSW is too fast.
What the hell did Denver do!

[Horry Hipcheck]

Literally not spending another game watching people write the Spurs epitaph. Fucking Christ. Night, guys. Go Spurs Go

[Raven]

wow dat croud man

[widowmaker]

Parker needs to find a way to drive.

[Strategic]

run these mothers off the court

[Cry Havoc]

Green switched to Curry, instantly he missed.

[$pursDynasty]

Dubs aren't a deep team we keep piling up the fouls on them in the first half the foul situation might save our bacon in the 2nd half. can't score while on the bench.

[Juggity]

Their players are too aggressive right now. Picking up fouls left and right.

There will be 2 or 3 of them fouled out by the end of the third quarter.

[TDfan2007]

Spurs need to keep hoping that Curry jacks up those awful shots. When he doesn't the Warriors have gotten open look after open look.

[spurraider21]

you could tell that when the crowd got really loud Curry wanted to pull up for 3 to try to silence them

[SupremeGuy]

THey fucking fouled Leonard and no call. WTF?

[Blizzardwizard]

Cliff jumpers, cliff jumpers everywhere.
Second Quarter cliff jumpers :lmao

[itzsoweezee]

Spurs have got to run on these dudes. The Warriors defense is too good to beat in the halfcourt.

[loveforthegame]

Love Leonard's attack mentality. Those shots will start to fall. He's working hard on both ends. Defense needs to sharpen a bit. He's counting on help too much right now.

[phxspurfan]

yup, 7 game series. Both teams will have ups and downs. Spurs doing a good job just weathering the storm right now and staying aggressive on both ends.

[crc21209]

Warriors are going to cool down eventually, tbh..Curry is the only consistent scorer on their roster..

Klay Thompson has been playing way above his head, he was terrible during the regular season, tbh..

Unfortunately for the Spurs, they may not cool down until they get Memphis or OKC..

Exactly. Thompson was always either extremely hot or extremely cold during the regular season. He is also prone to fouling ALOT...

[widowmaker]

Where's TD in that lineup? Bring him in

[Two10Whitey]

Can't put in Baynes. He's in street clothes.

[Cry Havoc]

Loudest I've heard a Spurs crowd in a long time.

[Robz4000]

Better to be down early rather than late. Just keep Thompson from goin off anymore tbh...

[Raven]

i couldnt even hear what the tnt dudes where sayin.. proud tbh

[Nathan89]

That's how loud GSW fans will be all night.

[RD2191]

green has played the best defense on curry

[HarlemHeat37]

Warriors were a .500 team after their hot start this year..

Either it's:

- David Lee is a cancer

Or

- They're on a historically hot shooting streak

Or

- Both

At some point, they are going to regress..it's just a matter of time, but shit, maybe it won't be until next series, I guess we'll see..hopefully Pop has some adjustments..

[m33p0]

curry and bogut with 2 fouls a piece, ezeli with 3.

for the spurs, only green has 2 so far.

[Johnny RIngo]

Does Splitter deserve anything over 6 million this off-season? Pity we didn't draft Marc Gasol instead of this overhyped scrub.

[Juggity]

Robdiaz bringing the game thread bads pretty consistently this series

[TDfan2007]

Spurs need to be aggressive. Tim and Tony show until the Warriors find an answer.

[Darius McCrary]

Exactly. Thompson was always either extremely hot or extremely cold during the regular season. He is also prone to fouling ALOT...

Don't listen to that guy he was going on about how Derick Fisher was horrible and not to be worried about a couple weeks ago.....

[TheGoldStandard]

Keep Blair out of this game.

[Uriel]

Wow. We're screwed.

[Spurs Brazil]

good run, keep it going

[Nathan89]

Pop needs to post Kawhi up every time they put a small guy on him.

[RD2191]

the warriors are a team that don't have anything to lose. they don't give a fuk. that's scary

[Uriel]

Well, if we can't beat Golden State (no matter how much on fire they are), then we aren't beating Miami anyway.

[stephen jackson]

cwebb is so politically correct i love it.

[Ice009]

This is getting hard to watch. I didn't think Golden State was this good.

Didn't anyone watch the previous round? Both Denver and Goldenstate are very good teams. Denver was a very good team and Goldenstate handled them, so all those people that were saying they are an easier match up, I thought, was stupid. A lot of Spurs fans are overconfident and dismiss teams without watching them play.

[Raven]

Warriors were a .500 team after their hot start this year..

Either it's:

- David Lee is a cancer

Or

- They're on a historically hot shooting streak

Or

- Both

At some point, they are going to regress..it's just a matter of time, but shit, maybe it won't be until next series, I guess we'll see..hopefully Pop has some adjustments..

it's the first.

[Captivus]

go after the guys with fouls!! HAA!

[TheGoldStandard]

Tony Parker going to work, yes we need this aggression.

[Juggity]

Like I said, Warriors overaggressive D will lead to pain and suffering for them later this game when players start to foul out.

[TDfan2007]

That wasn't a foul. I'll take it though...

[Warlord23]

Get physical with Curry and Thompson. Funnel them into the lane and let them have a couple of good, hard fouls

[stephen jackson]

i guess david lee just slows the game down for them

[SupremeGuy]

You could tell the ref REALLY didn't want to call that foul. What a dick.

[ace3g]

That is 4 players with 2+ fouls now for Warriors

[stephen jackson]

wow

[Cry Havoc]

Robdiaz bringing the game thread bads pretty consistently this lifetime

Worst poster on Spurstalk, tbh.

[biskvito]

I'd give Blair a shot just for the rebounding and second chances... it's not like GSW is scoring inside that much...

[RD2191]

:hat

[HarlemHeat37]

Why the fuck is Thompson wide open?..wow..

[Blizzardwizard]

Worst poster on Spurstalk, tbh.

:lmao

It's true though.

[wut]

they make nearly every 3 we can't buy even a basket, story of the series so far.

[stephen jackson]

3 straight misses wow

[spurraider21]

dammit Green

[TDfan2007]

:lol wow.

[ace3g]

uh oh Green...

[BatManu20]

I hate that Danny Green is our X-Factor tbh.

[Cry Havoc]

We really need to hit a 3.

[RD2191]

fukin green going cold

[TheGoldStandard]

Horrible rotations, we're sliding over to Bogut for what? protect that 3 point line

[DatBoyGood]

i really hate klay

[superjames1992]

Jesus, Green. Pathetic.

[LakerHater]

Wrong guy to leave WIIIIDE OPEN!

[m33p0]

danny green.... cold as dead.

[BatManu20]

How the hell do we keep leaving Thompson open lol

[DAF86]

Why are we doubling any scrub that post ups?

[EVAY]

Damn, TP has given the ball to Green three times for three and he hasn't made one yet.

[Paulie]

Pathetic

[Darius Bieber]

Do the Spurs even have one three? Looks like a loss to me.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

Thompson wide open from 3 again..

Is Pop going to make an adjustment?..

Leaving shooters wide open every time, wow..

[TheGoldStandard]

Shitty rotations, Green needs to stay at home, everyone stay at home.

[Raven]

I'd give Blair a shot just for the rebounding and second chances... it's not like GSW is scoring inside that much...

he's had it last game and it was enough

[stephen jackson]

takes timmy to make a shot this team is horrible

[Juggity]

Pound low to Duncan. Every time.

[LakerHater]

WTF!?

[m33p0]

everyone, get the fuck out of the way and let timmay go to work!

[Texas_Ranger]

wtf is this bullshit

[Crookshanks]

Thompson needs to be given some poisoned Gatorade at the half. This guy is KILLING us! :bang

[Brunodf]

Bonner is useless

[spurraider21]

Do the Spurs even have one three? Looks like a loss to me.

you must have a serious learning disability

[BatManu20]

Shitty, shitty half. And they can't miss.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

I still wanna go big

[Bill_Brasky]

The bullshit has to stop falling eventually right?

Good fuckin lord, even when they miss they get the rebound and easy putback. We really suck at finishing defensive possessions.

[TheGoldStandard]

We have to get chippy! Gotta start hacking and elbowing.

[RD2191]

good luck in new york tony

[MannyIsGod]

Danny Green is Golden State's best player right now. I love me some DG but right now he's killing the Spurs on both ends.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs will lose this series in 6, my god

[Uriel]

This is pathetic. :pctoss

[stephen jackson]

lmao wowwwwwwwwwww

[mikec]

thompson is going to drop 40 on us by the end of the night. he will not miss too many

[Blizzardwizard]

These refs :lmao

[mando6599]

why do scrubs go off on us? Klay Thompson? 23 points? in the first half?

[LakerHater]

Ugly shot Manu!

[Crookshanks]

Thompson already has his playoff career high. I hope cools off in the 2nd half.

[$pursDynasty]

cut it out with the 3s take it inside

[BatManu20]

0-7 from 3. Damn.

[100%duncan]

Dead dead dead.
