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

[phxspurfan]

These calls are so bad wtf

[BatManu20]

FEET WERE MOVING BITCHES!!

[SpurSwag]

how the fuck was that a charge

[naico]

lol MAnu with clutch fuck ups

[100%duncan]

Fuck this shit. :lmao

[ace3g]

OKC all over again, he gets the side of the defender everytime, and they call it offfensive foul...

[m33p0]

yeah that was a clear charge.

[Raven]

bogut was moving

[RD2191]

:downspin:

[Cry Havoc]

Holy shit Bogut's screens should get him thrown out of the fucking game. Fucking bullshit.

[Uriel]

Jesus here we go again.

[crc21209]

Bogut's illegal screens on every play, tbh..

It's not just him, it's all the Warriors with their screens...

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs struggling against GS - I don't we'd have much of chance against Memphis. We're in trouble.

[phxspurfan]

If it's this bad at home, I wonder how bad the calls are gonna be in Oaktown

[$pursDynasty]

that was a And 1!

[spurraider21]

i think bogut is still moving tbh

[TheGoldStandard]

should be a 5 point game.

[100%duncan]

We need to convert in every possession now. Now or never team.

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck those refs

[Splits]

If you're going to call that offensive, fine. But don't swallow the fucking whistle when Manu is getting hammered and pushed every drive to the basket.

[crc21209]

i think bogut is still moving tbh

He was still moving....

[ace3g]

even if Bogut wasn't moving, Manu got the side of him

[100%duncan]

Spurs struggling against GS - I don't we'd have much of chance against Memphis. We're in trouble.

We match up bad against Golden State, with Memphis? No.

[TheGoldStandard]

Our 3's will eventually fall and we'll hit at the lines.. we'll take both in GS

[Johnny RIngo]

Not much hope for the Spurs if Steph Curry's going to outplay our "MVP" point guard and Klay Thompson shits all over our $14 million SG.

[100%duncan]

Stern wants all four 1-1 tbh.

[TDfan2007]

Huge blown call there on Manu + Warriors hitting 3 flukey shots in a row = game over

[Captivus]

This is what happens when you only play 1 half.
Thats the biggest problem.

[RD2191]

people blaming the refs lmfao

[hater]

:lmao refs

:lmao Bogut flopping in slow mo

[Strategic]

Holy shit Bogut's screens should get him thrown out of the fucking game. Fucking bullshit.yup

[Libri]

Stern is smiling

fs

[TheGoldStandard]

We'll see a make up call here

[100%duncan]

Defend. Convert. Win this guys.

[Crookshanks]

This reminds me of the Memphis series. We kept thinking they would come down to earth and they never did.

[BatManu20]

We had our chances. Spurs just couldn't make the big shots when they need or get stops when they need. Or make FT's... No one to blame but themselves.

[100%duncan]

Idk why they keep on going to Kawhi for the 3, its not falling.

[Splits]

Oh Manu.

[100%duncan]

Wow fuck HAHAH

[Raven]

that's game

[InRareForm]

wtf manu lol

[Gagnrath]

Put the ball in the hoop.

[LakerHater]

The fuck is that Manu!!! :bang

[Texas_Ranger]

well this sucks

[RD2191]

MANU LMFAO

[JingleJangleJingle]

story of the game...we struggled to make open shots and missed a ton of bunnies.

[TheGoldStandard]

Damn manu

[InRareForm]

rather have manu throw up a 25 footer than that weak ass shit

[Rob123]

I cringe when I see Ginobili in the game

That didnt use to be the case

[Darius McCrary]

Warriors trying hard to choke, spurs trying even harder.

[Strategic]

tick tock tick tock

[100%duncan]

Game.

[BatManu20]

We might be the most unclutch performance I've ever seen lol

[TheGoldStandard]

Chip needs to kick Kawhi in the ass, that's an open 3

[m33p0]

are the spurs intentionally trying to lose this game? they're doing an excellent job at it.

[Darius Bieber]

That's game and series. Time to go fishing.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[spurraider21]

wtf manu lol

he was scared he'd get called for another charge tbh

[loveforthegame]

Duncan, Parker, and Leonard have played well enough but damn Manu laid an egg.

[JingleJangleJingle]

This reminds me of the Memphis series. We kept thinking they would come down to earth and they never did.

they did comeback down to Earth we just couldn't make a damn shot all game. 89 points is pathetic.

[Crookshanks]

We had our chances. Spurs just couldn't make the big shots when they need or get stops when they need. Or make FT's... No one to blame but themselves.

Yep. They can't keep getting in these big holes and expect to pull out a miracle win time and time again. GS wasn't demoralized by the loss Monday, and they came out of the gate ready to play.

[100%duncan]

Aight we lose. I hope they recuperate come game 3.

[Rob123]

Never seen so many missed open shots

Are these guys really in the NBA? Fuck I'll suit up and make some cash

[Ice009]

spurs getting jobbed here in the 4th quarter by the refs. I am not OK with this officiating.

[RD2191]

FUK THIS TEAM

[ace3g]

just couldn't make anything in the 4th...

[Gagnrath]

Wow come on what does it take to buy a bucket....

[Strategic]

Damn, no sweep. so what!! kick their asses in oakland

[RD2191]

Aight we lose. I hope they recuperate come game 3.

IN OAKLAND? LOL

[loveforthegame]

Spurs have lots of work to do. Going to be tough in GS.

[Bill_Brasky]

Oh man. Just terrible offense to end the game. We really beat ourselves there, Warriors made their shots when they needed to.

[Raven]

whatever

[EVAY]

They have HCA now, right?

[Brunodf]

Spurs can't buy a foul. Refs making sure that Warriors will get the win this time

[wut]

Parker needs to stop acting like he's going to get a call...

[boutons_deux]

simply, the Spurs just suck

should be going to Oakland 0-2 except for historical miracle

[LakerHater]

Aint no way Spurs win over there!!

[dbreiden83080]

Did some good things in the 2nd half..

Gotta get 1 in GS..

[Rob123]

I think Manu needs to play less

[01Snake]

Missed FT's and a ton of missed easy buckets did us in.

[m33p0]

they had tons of chances, screwed all of them.

[jiggy_55]

Where the fuck is Diaw?!?! He was the key player in Game 1!

[Paulie]

Why no Diaw this whole time? What was the point of Bonner? Why did they leave players open starting from the 1st quarter? Just a few questions.

[littleavery1948]

Never seen so many missed open shots

Are these guys really in the NBA? Fuck I'll suit up and make some cash

I concur; I can hit wide open shots. Heck, anyone on this board can hit a wide open jump shot. The basket is still 10 feet high, correct? :bang

[TIMMYD!]

I can't be the only one that feels slightly screwed by the refs

[m33p0]

tmac in, there's still a chance. :lol

[Captivus]

The Spurs need to be concentrated the entire game, thats their biggest chance of winning.

[Crookshanks]

Damn, no sweep. so what!! kick their asses in oakland

Maybe the Spurs needed this loss to wake them up. But now that GS has broken the curse of playing in San Antonio, they've got a ton of confidence. Let's just hope that confidence goes to their head and they screw up the next game.

[james evans]

i'm more happy with how we ended this game than how we ended game 1. if we play the whole game like we did in the 2nd half we win this series easily. stop fukin leaving shooters open. it's easy. thompson and curry didn't do shit in the 2nd half. we shut them down. just play the whole game like this. bonner needs to stop leaving his assignments open too and parker needs to actually try to make layups instead of playing for fouls.

[EVAY]

I had picked the Spurs in 6. Now I think it may take 7.

[Raven]

we just couldn make shots... that's all that there is

[Ice009]

I feel like I am a better shooter than most of the Spurs players. Too bad the rest of my game is rubbish.

[boutons_deux]

shooting 38% at home in playoffs is 2nd round exit

[tim_duncan_fan]

Manu being a jackass late in the game per the usual. Oh well.

On to game 3.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Manu being a jackass late in the game per the usual. Oh well.

On to game 3.

[ace3g]

Like everyone else, I don't get why Diaw didn't play much, was he hurting after game 1?

[jiggy_55]

Our biggest issue is not playing for an entire 48 minutes. Especially on the defensive end. Our shots weren't falling tonight but they will fall next game

[TheGoldStandard]

Spurs need to get there ass in gear.. way too many FT's and 3's open shots.. I don't think Leonard ever makes a corner 3 anymore.

[$pursDynasty]

as funny as it sounds, I was liking the way this game was flowing more than game one. Not only was Curry hot but everyone was in game 1. This game we got Curry in foul trouble, and were crashing the boards very well, besides Thompson, the rest of the team was controlled somewhat. the problem was we were horrible from 3 and they are a dang good shooting team.

[james evans]

Man, these guys don't miss shit.they don't miss when they're open..timmyd, we weren't screwed by the refs, we were screwed by shitty shooting and more shitty defense in the 1st half. we outplayed and outscored them in the 2nd half.

[Ice009]

Spurs have only got themselves to blame. They've been outplayed for nearly two games now.

They've come out in both games with preseason intensity. It's really on the Spurs and no one else.

[TheGoldStandard]

We have to hit our FT's and our wide open shots, our 3 shooting was crap.

[ploto]

Spurs do not seem to play hard on defense until the fourth quarter. Do they not have proper respect for GS?

[100%duncan]

IN OAKLAND? LOL

No, in Oklahoma. You stupid cryin lil bitch.

[hoopdreams11]

why have TMac if we are not going to play him in matchup situations?

[$pursDynasty]

is small ball the answer for the Spurs or should we go super BIG against them?

[weeks]

I feel like I am a better shooter than most of the Spurs players. Too bad the rest of my game is rubbish.
doesn't mean shit unless you can replicate that in the playoffs against insanely athletic motivated defenders, millions watching your every move, the crowd loudly reacting to every single little mistake or punishment.

[Ice009]

Robdiaz, you're a straight pussy. I don't even know why you bother watching the game. You post about the game being over in the first minute.

fucking straight gutless pussy. Probably a troll.

[SpurSwag]

Everyone stop cliff jumping and be practical for a second. What can home court do for these guys that hasnt already happened? It's not as if they were playing mediocre and we just blew a game, they've been shooting as if they were the home team for both games! Worst case scenario, they continue to shoot like this and hopefully we can step our game up and steal one. But being at home isn't going to make them play much better because they simply can't. Yes, it could make our role players nervous and what not, but I think we'll be ok. Hopefully we can steal one or perhaps two if everything goes absolutely right (though I doubt it) but everyone calm the fuck down

[Sean Cagney]

Robdiaz, you're a straight pussy. I don't even know why you bother watching the game. You post about the game being over in the first minute.

LOL Ice whats up man! IT is RZA.

[Ice009]

True, I didn't say otherwise, I just feel like a better shooter ;), and feel like a lot of the Spurs players are darn near incompetent when it comes to shooting. I didn't say that I could step out there and shooter better than them in a playoff type of game. But then again I don't think I would do any worse with the same open looks some of the Spurs players get at times. That doesn't mean shit though like you said, you gotta do it in this kind of environment which isn't easy.

No reason to calm down or keep optomistic now, it's on the team. Show up you have a shot, play like we did for 5 quarters or so in this series we are done. It's that simple.

[Ice009]

LOL Ice whats up man! IT is RZA.

Not much man. Gotta go back to work soon, in a pissed off mood at that.

[Tim_duncan21]

Not looking good

[playblair]

word tnt agrees playblair ........................... dont play bonner..........................

[RD2191]

Lmfao. The ladies are crying.

[ace3g]

I've eased up on my Blair hate lately, but come on TNT; why is no one asking why Diaw didn't play at all in 2nd half. Something has to be wrong health wise, you don't not play him after the end of game 1 performance he had.

[Ice009]

Lmfao. The ladies are crying.

Umm you are the one crying five minutes into the game. You're making yourself look like a total clown calling people out for crying when you a posting like a 12 year old emo girl throughout the game thread.

Are you actually a guy?

[timtonymanu]

Sigh.

Tough loss. But I had a feeling the Warriors were confident after Game 1. Unfortunately, the Spurs didn't figure out their strategy until the 2nd half.

[outmap]

Good game Spurs! Not enough gas this time though, almost a 2 game miracle. We dug ourselves in a hole deeper than game 1. Had a decent run and cut a 20 point lead to 6, there was just not enough time. Go strong from the start, the first half of game 3 might determine if we've adjusted to GSW offense, and it might also be the clincher to the series.

[timtonymanu]

Agreed. Diaw has to be hurt. Otherwise, Pop would have put him in there instead of Bonner.

[ace3g]

Not sure if he was the one who actually got the steal, but got credit on the stat sheet; shows that he has good timing on weak side steals (he had a few in those 5 min against Lakers).

[milkyway21]

WE LOST ? :cry

I was in the office they said hey our Spurs lost .
Finally they won in S.A. huh!


it is not the end of the series yet. Spurs will find a way!

thanks God the Spurs, everybody is healthy. :flag:

[timtonymanu]

I come back from a month hiatus and robdiaz2191 still does the same shitty negative posts he spams all over the game threads?

[RD2191]

This game we got Curry in foul trouble, and were crashing the boards very well, besides Thompson, the rest of the team was controlled somewhat. the problem was we were horrible from 3 and they are a dang good shooting team.Yes they are. The GSW are a diamond in the rough. The spurs are getting a lot of love from the media due to their illustrious history, but I do feel that GSW will win this series.

The Spurs know the method to win its just that they are as stubborn as Pop and keep running the same crap.. No double teams, run them off the 3 but most importantly "HIT SHOTS" missed FT's and missed 3's and easy lay ups

[pageC4]

Spurs have only got themselves to blame. They've been outplayed for nearly two games now.

They've come out in both games with preseason intensity. It's really on the Spurs and no one else.
Dude, GSW has been doing this to everyone. Ask DEnver, the Clippers, and a bunch of other teams in the west. GSW is no joke

[Arcadian]

Every series is tied 1-1...

This shall be an interesting round.

[pageC4]

Spurs do not seem to play hard on defense until the fourth quarter. Do they not have proper respect for GS?
its that lack of seriousness that people have for an up and coming team, the spurs commited the same mistake against Memphis a few years ago. Its harder when a team has no history because you cant trust that their presence there is legit, or that they will pose a threat

[pageC4]

Every series is tied 1-1...

This shall be an interesting round.
Yes it will experience vs. determination. Gmae 1 was being won by GSW, then Spurs said "not yet" and put a pause on that run..Now GSW has answered I couldnt imagine a better scenario for a matchup. This will be epic

[pageC4]

WE LOST ? :cry

I was in the office they said hey our Spurs lost .
Finally they won in S.A. huh!
Spurs are an amizing franchise. They will keep this series close, but my hunch tells me GSW will win this series

it is not the end of the series yet. Spurs will find a way!

thanks God the Spurs, everybody is healthy. :flag:

[pageC4]

Sigh.

Tough loss. But I had a feeling the Warriors were confident after Game 1. Unfortunately, the Spurs didn't figure out their strategy until the 2nd half.
Strategy or not. The spurs just dont have the answer to stop the warriors. To much 3 pt shooting and too much athleticism. The closest team that could match up isnt even 100% right now, with OKC being hurt either GSW or Memphis has a huge advantage to advance right now

[pageC4]

as funny as it sounds, I was liking the way this game was flowing more than game one. Not only was Curry hot but everyone was in game 1. This game we got Curry in foul trouble, and were crashing the boards very well, besides Thompson, the rest of the team was controlled somewhat. the problem was we were horrible from 3 and they are a dang good shooting team.yeah they are the best shooting team in the NBA. Very difficult to contain.

[Sean Cagney]

Not much man. Gotta go back to work soon, in a pissed off mood at that.

NO DOUBT NO DOUBT!!!!!!!!!!! In there with Slicer chopping it up tonight!

[crc21209]

Crazy to think that Thompson was 8-9 on 3's and the Spurs only lost by 9. If he misses 1 or 2 of those, and guys like Kawhi or Danny Green make at least 1 more three, we have ourselves a tie game in the 4th...

[SpurPadre]

Crazy to think that Thompson was 8-9 on 3's and the Spurs only lost by 9. If he misses 1 or 2 of those, and guys like Kawhi or Danny Green make at least 1 more three, we have ourselves a tie game in the 4th...

That 6 point swing to end the third was just MURDER for morale, too where we missed two wide open threes and Klay made that 3 buzzer beater to stretch the lead to 11.

I'm pissed off that the Spurs kept leaving him so wide open to double on another player. Apparently the Spurs still think we are playing the Lakers out there.

[timtonymanu]

That 6 point swing to end the third was just MURDER for morale, too where we missed two wide open threes and Klay made that 3 buzzer beater to stretch the lead to 11.

So will the Warriors winning in 7 still be as "moronic" as you claimed last year that OKC winning in 6 was disrespectful to the Spurs? :lol

[SpurPadre]

So will the Warriors winning in 7 still be as "moronic" as you claimed last year that OKC winning in 6 was disrespectful to the Spurs? :lol

So, you're taking joy in that I want the Spurs to win and just defending them but they lost tonight? Ok...

[timtonymanu]

So, you're taking joy in that I want the Spurs to win and just defending them but they lost tonight? Ok...

:lol no, but I'm inclined to blame you for starting that shitty thread should the Spurs lose to the Warriors in the series since OKC in 6 ended up happening last year.

[SpurPadre]

:lol no, but I'm inclined to blame you for starting that shitty thread should the Spurs lose to the Warriors in the series since OKC in 6 ended up happening last year.

Fair enough. If I can take shit from Dubs fans, which I will on Sunday in Game 4, I can take shit from the shit talkers here, lol.

[milkyway21]

I don't know, but I have the feeling the Spurs will still win in this series..it is not just I am a Spurs fan..I just know how good the Spurs team is...And GS is not a team like OKC before who has Durant and Westbrook...

The GSW team plays differently, but the Spurs can adjust to any team.. Pop will figure it out..I hope soon.

[TampaDude]

Fluke game...Spurs in 5...book it.

[Budkin]

Shit we missed a ton of wide open shots and FTs that would have more than made the difference.

[Budkin]

Fluke game...Spurs in 5...book it.

:tu

[41times]

It's pretty simple.

You can't shoot 24% from 3 pt and 39% FG and win playoff games.

You can make a big fuss about a lot of little things but when it comes right down to it; you have to put the Biscuit in the Basket.

The Spurs have been one of the best shooting teams in the league all year, especially from 3pt land.

I said it last month that if the Spurs shoot 40% or more from 3pt land they are basically unbeatable. I stand by that.

If you shoot 24% and 39% respectively you are going to lose. Period.

So talk about how to get better looks. But Bottom line.......Make some Effing shots just like you have done all year.

I have No reason to believe that the Spurs will have 4 bad shooting games regardless of GSW defense. 80+ games tell me that.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Spurs should win Game 3. Thompson's historical three point shooting is what got them the win for the most part. I don't expect Thompson to shoot career high again.

unrealistic dream... we are actually lucky to be 1-1 going to GS right now.. GS in 6 maybe more realistic

You're not counting in choke factor and mental weakness. Those two things are 90% of our problem right now. If the guys would just find their nuts, everything else would fall in line.

Basketball is 90% mental and the other half is physical.

[timtonymanurich]

Call me CRAZY... but wasn't the officiating in game 2 just outlandishly ATROCIOUS?! For BOTH squads?!

I saw Manu and T-Parks go in for drives, get knocked to the floor and NOTHING was called. There was a number of probably anticipated fouls on BOTH ends.

Klay T and Staph Infection won't have Light's OUT games again because Kawai and D Green are great perimeter defenders. Pop will think something up as he always does, it's likely Small ball to counter the track race the Warriors are trying to create. The 2013 GSW are nothing more than the 2007 PHX suns with a more versatile shooting guard.

Spurs in 6
