Summer League Game Thread: Spurs vs. Raptors - July 14, 2013

[timvp]

Game starts at 9:30PM and it'll supposedly be on ESPN3.com.

You can also spend $15 and buy the summer league package from NBA.com to watch all the summer league games.

At 3AM, it'll be shown on NBATV.

[benefactor]

Will record and report in the AM.

[2centsworth]

I'm hooked:hang

[barakz21]

Finally, was waiting for this. Thanks TIMVP! :toast

[CitizenDwayne]

I'll be watching tomorrow morning. Should be interesting to see who gets some burn this time out, and if De Colo shows any signs of improvement.

[heyheymymy]

hope baynes looks a bit more promising, would love to see him pan out.

[heyheymymy]

im confused.


i will be watching a stream on firstrowsports and not sure if the stream will be from the espn3 source and air at 930pm CT or if the stream will be from the nbatv source and air at 3am CT.


any idea?

[ace3g]

Battle of the Joseph Bros

[Kingsly Alexander]

Raptors have an interesting team. I'm curious to see how Baynes does against Valanciunas and De Colo and Thomas against Terrence Ross and Julyan Stone. Im guessing we should get a lot of info on our guys from this game.

[jimo2305]

Battle of the Joseph Bros

cojo's brother's playing?

[Libri]

Nando will have a Manu-like game.

[NASpurs]

If your internet provider supports ESPN 3 and you have XBOX Live Gold, just fire the ESPN app and you'll have it made. :tu

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Gotta shut down Valanciunas.

[ace3g]

cojo's brother's playing?

Yeah Cory's bro plays for the Raptors SL team.

[Thomas82]

cojo's brother's playing?

Yeah, his name is Devoe Joseph.

[ace3g]

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

NICE BAYNES

[jeebus]

Glad they're getting Bane involved more tbh.

[jimo2305]

Yeah, his name is Devoe Joseph.

cool.. although couldn't help but immediately think of Bell Biv Devoe

N6blgjF6UkU

[xellos88330]

Nice take Joseph.

[xellos88330]

Nando getting killed on D again.

[xellos88330]

Nice foul Baynes preventing the dunk.

[ElNono]

lol De Colo "defense"

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

IDK what Nando is doing out there, he isn't paying much attention to defense

[Captivus]

any links?

[Kingsly Alexander]

God De colo sucks on d. For however bad, Thomas might be, De colo's worse

[xellos88330]

lol De Colo "defense"

Yea... giving up an and 1 and then allowing easy dunk. Kid needs to wake up and play D. He is getting burned.

[GB20]

cojo is so much better than nando

[loveforthegame]

So disappointed in NDC.

[xellos88330]

Baynes with the 8 foot jumper!

[ace3g]

Baynes jumper

[Floyd Pacquiao]

what did baynes do? I missed it..

[xellos88330]

Thomas, 12 footer.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

DeShaun looks better shooting midrange jumpers. And it's obvious that Thomas shouldn't guard physical 4s on defense.

[xellos88330]

Thomas fouled Acy, and one. He isn't big enough to stop Acy,

[jimo2305]

any links?

check ur pm

[manufor3]

Thomas having issues defending 4, Acy

[Baam]

They look much better on offense than last game where the two guards ballhogged quite a bit.

[manufor3]

wow Nando...

[xellos88330]

Anyone think DeColo is in his own head?

Nice D by thompson

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

CJ!

[xellos88330]

Nice take Joseph.

[Rito3d30]

anybody can share links?

[xellos88330]

espn3.com

[NASpurs]

De Culo it is

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

anybody can share links?
ESPN 3 is streaming it

[xellos88330]

Good D Joseph.

[jrmp317]

any links?

[Baam]

It's on first row, google it.

[xellos88330]

WFT was that Thomas?

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

De Colo probably isn't as sharp as usual because he feels he's better than most of these players. And he's probably right.

[xellos88330]

DeColo's jumper does look much improved as far as his form is concerned.

[xellos88330]

UGH!!! FUCK THIS CHAMPIONSHIP DVD!!!

[jimo2305]

UGH!!! FUCK THIS CHAMPIONSHIP DVD!!!
worst christmas gift a spursfan can get this year lol

[Libri]

Maybe I'm imagining this but doesn't Cojo look like he has posture issues? It seems like he has a little hunched back going on.

[xellos88330]

Pittman bucket!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

M'BAYE!

[xellos88330]

ooooo nice putback slam M'baye!!!!!

[Captivus]

NICE!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

DENMON!

[xellos88330]

Denmon 3

[jimo2305]

oh nice put back!

[LakerHater]

Whata put back!!

[xellos88330]

Thomas burned on the spin.

[xellos88330]

Spurs need to feed it into the post every now and then. They are so damn predictable.

[xellos88330]

If it is a tie quarter do both teams get a point?

[xellos88330]

UTEROBALL!!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

If it is a tie quarter do both teams get a point?
Half-point for both teams

[Rito3d30]

De Colo is awful:lol

[Libri]

If Richards doesn't play, then he is in Ime's doghouse. lol

[jimo2305]

If it is a tie quarter do both teams get a point?

1/2 a point

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

That white guy's face looks like a damn skeleton

[xellos88330]

Nice D Pittman.

[barakz21]

Is it just me or does Denmon like shooting low % floaters?

[xellos88330]

Joseph 3!!!

[xellos88330]

Pittman cant find the bottom of the net.

[Raven]

denmon looking like shit tbh

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Where is Richards? Joseph looking really good so far.

[xellos88330]

Spurs are just chucking it right now.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I really understand why they don't play Richards. He's a PF, and it seems as if this team doesn't have any PF's.

[Captivus]

Kmon Baynes, get those rebounds.

[barakz21]

Nice presence of mind by CJ to try spin away from Karl

[xellos88330]

The Spurs ball movement completely disappeared. They looked good early, but fell apart offensively.

[xellos88330]

Baynes with the Jumper!!!!

[Libri]

Nobody showing anything special on the defensive end.

[xellos88330]

Jonas Valanciunas keeps going to the spin over his right shoulder in the post. Baynes/Pittman need to read that better.

[illusioNtEk]

Hit him hard baynes fuk him

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Is it me or does the ball movement and offensive flow get way worse when De Colo is on the court?

[xellos88330]

Bad pass Baynes.

[illusioNtEk]

Take your time baynes it's ok

[xellos88330]

LMAO!!! Baynes with the heat check!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Is it me or does the ball movement and offensive flow get way worse when De Colo is on the court?
It doesn't look much different to me

[Rito3d30]

Nando didn't even try to create

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Baynes is really playing Val baseline.

[xellos88330]

Jonas with the spin over his right again. Missed shot, but still.

[illusioNtEk]

Good fuming d my nigga baynes!!!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

BAYNES!!!!

[illusioNtEk]

Good shit baynes

[xellos88330]

Thompson 2pt jumper. Nice hustle Baynes.

[EmantheSpursFan]

baynes

[xellos88330]

If Baynes can get consistent with that jumper, he can be a huge asset.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

So Richards isn't injured or sick or anything? He just can't even get playing time on a summer league team?

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

BTW is this pretty much a competition between Baynes and Pittman to try and get the backup C spot?

[xellos88330]

That is what it is looking like.

[xellos88330]

Strong play Thomas.

[Chinook]

So Richards isn't injured or sick or anything? He just can't even get playing time on a summer league team?

I think they're rotating him and Pittman, which is silly, since there's no reason to keep playing Thomas at the four. Why they insist on giving minutes to players who won't be on the team like M'Baye and Thompson over their draft picks eludes me.

[Kingsly Alexander]

BTW is this pretty much a competition between Baynes and Pittman to try and get the backup C spot?

Well Baynes has a contract so I'd say no. I'd anything this is just a competition for Pittman to get on a preseason roster

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

nice passes by cj and deshaun

[xellos88330]

Nice pass to DeColo by Thomas after the Joseph steal.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

NANDO WHY

[Captivus]

Inbound steal by CoJo...classic!

[xellos88330]

How many and 1's is DeColo going to give up to Ross?

[illusioNtEk]

Cj should be ball handling not nano

[xellos88330]

COME ON NANDO!!! GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS AND KNOCK OFF THE TURNOVERS!!!

[toki9]

Nando is so frustrating to watch...

[Texas_Ranger]

i am sorry but De Colo needs to go

[loveforthegame]

NDC is pissing me off.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Pittman looks horrible on offense.

[NASpurs]

Jesus Christ, De Colo... just go back to France already. :lol

[xellos88330]

^Agreed

[Rito3d30]

De Colo can't perform well on the SL level
WTF

[Truckules]

As someone who liked De Colo, the more I see him play, the less confident I become that he can be a rotation player

[Captivus]

i want to see Amath more

[atoyotagaspedal]

These guys sound like the Lakers commentators.

[illusioNtEk]

I really hope Spurs keep Baynes long term.... This dude can play

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Why is Pittman getting so many post-ups?

[xellos88330]

Pittman is getting clean looks, just can't knock em down.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

These guys sound like the Lakers commentators.
Joel was for a bit and Rick Fox is

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

knock em down deshaun!

[xellos88330]

Nice vet move by Thomas drawing the foul.

[ace3g]

nice move thomas!!!

[LakerHater]

GREAT play Thomas!!

[atoyotagaspedal]

nice fake

[Captivus]

mmm...smart...

[xellos88330]

.4!!!!

[Rito3d30]

wow that's smart:toast

[barakz21]

Smart move by Thomas

[illusioNtEk]

Why only 2 free throws ? He attempted a 3!

Fuking stern at it again :lol

[loveforthegame]

Thomas not having as impressive game as the last one but still like what he's showing.

Baynes looks promising.

NDC needs to go.

[Chinook]

.4!!!!

Thought the same thing.

[TheWriter]

Why only 2 free throws ? He attempted a 3!

Fuking stern at it again :lol

His foot was on the line. When he pumped fake his left leg stepped over the three point line.

[xellos88330]

Thought the same thing.

That time is forever burned in my memory.

[atoyotagaspedal]

I still find it funny we drafted the guy that didn't want to give us his number.

[GB20]

what will the spurs do with thomas?

[loveforthegame]

Baynes: 7pts, 6rbs

Thomas: 6pts, 5rbs

Joseph: 11pts, 3as

Pittman: 6rbs

[SpursFan86]

Baynes looks good out there. 7 points, 6 boards, and a block in the 1st half.

[xellos88330]

Spurs are doing great on the glass, but they need to put the damn ball in the basket.

[RD2191]

what will the spurs do with thomas?

[xellos88330]

Baynes looks good out there. 7 points, 6 boards, and a block in the 1st half.

So nice, you had to post it twice. LMAO!!!

[Captivus]

CoJo has no steals in the box score, I saw at least 1

[Chinook]

The Raptors need to trade DeRozan and Gay and start Ross. He's young enough to change his chucking ways.

[xellos88330]

Bad pass Thomas and didn't cover his man on defense.

[xellos88330]

Thomas 3!!!!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Nice thomas!

[ElNono]

I gather Ross is DeColo's man?

[barakz21]

I like what I'm seeing out of Thomas. Doesn't hesitate, but takes his shots within the flow of the offense.

[xellos88330]

I gather Ross is DeColo's man?

How did you guess!!! :toast

[Captivus]

Thomas looking good.
Whats going on with NDC? He is not THAT bad.

[illusioNtEk]

Is Thomas in the roster spot ?

[SpursFan86]

De Colo looks like shit out there...especially considering he should be one of the guys standing out in the SL.

[xellos88330]

Nice job using the body on D by Baynes.

Bullshit foul call on Baynes.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Refs are calling a lot of fouls when the offensive player initiates contact

[Captivus]

No foul!!
Val had no ideas left...bad call.

[xellos88330]

I am so glad this isn't a regular season NBA game. I would be losing my damn mind by now.

[illusioNtEk]

Bs call on baynes fuk u stern

[xellos88330]

Joseph 3 from Thomas!!!

[atoyotagaspedal]

Nice three

[ohmwrecker]

Whats going on with NDC? He is not THAT bad.

no. He's really, really awful.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

CJ a bit too excited with that pass

[xellos88330]

Nice steal by Joseph ruined by DeColo and his butterfingers.

[xellos88330]

Interesting shot by DeColo.

[toki9]

CJ a bit too excited with that pass

That looked catchable...it was a little behind Nando, but Nando also wasn't focused on catching it...

[xellos88330]

Jonas is a foul magnet. He is getting all the calls.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

That looked catchable...it was a little behind Nando, but Nando also wasn't focused on catching it...
True, but he had DeShaun trailing him for a good look if he was a bit more patient imo

[Captivus]

Nice steal by Joseph ruined by DeColo and his butterfingers.

http://media.jinni.com/movie/the-replacements/the-replacements-1.jpeg

[xellos88330]

Pittman wearing Blairs number. That is funny! LMAO!

[barakz21]

Nice read by CJ

[toki9]

True, but he had DeShaun trailing him for a good look if he was a bit more patient imo

Judgment call by Joseph, right? Had Nando handled the ball, he had clear path in one step.

[xellos88330]

Pittman can't get the lid off the basket.

[stxspurs]

no kidding

[Sean Cagney]

Thomas looking good.
Whats going on with NDC? He is not THAT bad.
IMO yes he is.

[xellos88330]

DeColo turnover. I think I have seen this before somewhere......

[toki9]

It looks like Nando's just making mental errors...

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

That white ref with the funny hair is travel crazy!

[illusioNtEk]

GOOD D BAYNES

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

That was an and-1, Acy slid under

[stxspurs]

bullshit

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

turnover city

[xellos88330]

DeColo turnover....

[xellos88330]

Raptors scores for the Spurs!!!

[stxspurs]

i would not be sad to see him involved in a trade

[ace3g]

offense seems to stall when Thomas isn't in the game

[toki9]

DeColo turnover....

On a relatively routine entry pass?

[xellos88330]

On a relatively routine entry pass?

Yup

[ajballer4]

M' Baye looked liked Neal with that pull up 3. Probably cause they're both #14

[xellos88330]

Joseph almost had another steal.

[xellos88330]

I am surprised Scott has been invisible.

[xellos88330]

There you go Baynes.

[atoyotagaspedal]

DAYUM BAYNES

[Antwan07]

What's the score and in what quarter.

[Rito3d30]

Richards in

[xellos88330]

Richards with the putback off the Baynes miss.

[xellos88330]

56-55 Raptors. 16 secs left in the 3rd.

[Rito3d30]

Nando is complaining:lol
suck it up

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

De Colo gotta be better when taking that inbound, he wasted a good half-second cuz he came back and swooped around.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Please take Nando out. I'm tired of watching him, he's embarrassing himself. He had Richards WHY open and he continues to take a horrible shot, again. The arrogance of this guy is ridiculous right now.

[xellos88330]

59-55 Raptors at end of 3rd. Joseph needs to punch his brother after the game.

[ace3g]

Thomas takes over in 4th quarter

[Taking it to the Hole]

Nando is just embarrassing himself. He hasn't done crap all game. Brick after brick after brick.

[xellos88330]

Thomas takes over in 4th quarter

That would be awesome! If he did, I wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs sign him.

[toki9]

Looks like Nando may be auditioning to be the next Rudy Fernandez...

[Chinook]

Please tell me that's not all the time Richards is going to get.

[ElNono]

NDC struggling in summer league... he doesn't look like an NBA player tonight

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

59-55 Raptors at end of 3rd. Joseph needs to punch his brother after the game.

Instead how about he persuades his team to sign him cheap? The guy is consistent, yet still can go hot. At Oregon, he shot from like 75% straight from three with at least 6 attempts a game for like 5 games in a row or something like that. He can just shoot.

[xellos88330]

10 people watching the game lmao!!!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Nando is missing a lot of shots, but a good portion of them are shot clock running down situations.

[Taking it to the Hole]

Please tell me that's not all the time Richards is going to get.

I think he will get some minutes early this 4th quarter.

[xellos88330]

Thomas slam!!!

[xellos88330]

Richards getting bullied by Jonas, but missed the shot.

[loveforthegame]

I really hope Thomas makes the team. Like the things he does warts and all.

[toki9]

Nando is missing a lot of shots, but a good portion of them are shot clock running down situations.

after overdribbling?

[Captivus]

no. He's really, really awful.


IMO yes he is.

:depressed

[xellos88330]

Skeletor!!!

[xellos88330]

Nice putback Thomas!!!

[Rito3d30]

wow Thomas

[Captivus]

Ive seen enough...sign Thomas

[xellos88330]

Lazy pass = 2pts Raptors.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Game over, blow up the team, trade everyone

[ElNono]

Fire Udoka!

[toki9]

69-59, Toronto, with 7:22 left...

[Rito3d30]

so the Denmon experiment is officially over

[Captivus]

Tank next season!

[Sean Cagney]

wow Thomas

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xellos88330]

Spurs summer league team is just coasting. That is all.

[RD2191]

:lol

[Taking it to the Hole]

At least Nando is out of the game. Joseph and Thomas are carrying the team again this game. I hope they can pull out the victory. Lots of time still left.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

FUCK SOMEONE UP BAYNES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[toki9]

Baynes...feisty in a SL game...good to see some fire in someone...

[Taking it to the Hole]

Baynes looks MAD.

[Baam]

FUCK SOMEONE UP BAYNES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lmao

[SpursRock20]

Baynes has an edge to him.

[atoyotagaspedal]

ball don't lie

[Captivus]

Spurs may use a little bad ass

[Libri]

Baynes can kick his ass easily.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

THESE REFS HAVE HUGE PUSSIES

[SpursRock20]

Lucky ass shot.

[toki9]

Spurs may use a little bad ass

Frank Brickowski 2.0??

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

NDC is playing way too much, and these refs are horrible.

[loveforthegame]

The difference in body language/attitude between Baynes and NDC is night and day.

NDC is a huge disappointment.
