Spurs vs Hawks: Preseason Game Thread: 10/17/13

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Wish Milsapp would have tried to post Matty up.

[ElNono]

Hope Matty fouls out soon...

[look_at_g_shred]

Bud really wants to win this game lol

[ElNono]

Matty sat down? Go Banes

[HI-FI]

it does make me laugh how we so many teams are using thier starters to win meaningless games and we are competing with scrubs.

[ElNono]

coach bud doesn't look so good anymore, uh?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

That ended up as a miss by Baynes but that pnr was ran well by Mills. It was nice to see after he floundered the possession before.

[HI-FI]

coach bud doesn't look so good anymore, uh?

nigga can still drink and drive with the best of em.

[RD2191]

nigga can still drink and drive with the best of em.
:lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

Anyone getting cut? Hope it was De Colo instead of Fells

[look_at_g_shred]

OH wow Fells!!

[look_at_g_shred]

Millsap :lol

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Look at Baynes beating Horford off the dribble for layups.

[Boomersgold]

wtf?

[look_at_g_shred]

Do you feel the lead about to shrink?

[ElNono]

:lol remember when that douchebag jazz fan thought carroll was the future?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Really poor decisions being made by the guards.

[AusSpur]

Nawwawewawawlwewlwwee!

[look_at_g_shred]

Air force one!

[Boomersgold]

Good Shot by Wayleyle. I still haven't learnt to spell his name.

[TheGreatYacht]

Nawwawewawawlwewlwwee! :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Good Shot by Wayleyle. I still haven't learnt to spell his name. :rollin

[FuzzyLumpkins]

He better have hit that shot after turning it over badly the possession before. Easy entry to the post ignored for a poor cut to the basket.

[HI-FI]

nice....way to go Baynes.

[DJR210]

Baynes with the game winner.

[AusSpur]

Baynes is clutch!

[r0drig0lac]

baynessssanittyyyyyy

[ace3g]

Baynes!!! clutch again

[ElNono]

[look_at_g_shred]

Bangerz!

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Baynes was clutch twice against CSKA. 3 times now.

[Boomersgold]

Great pass by Patty, and an ever nicer finish by Baynes!

[Axegrinder]

BAYNE SMASH

[Spurs Brazil]

Baynes!!

[HI-FI]

Baynes >> Ayres

[DJR210]

Get the anointing oil. Baynes is now enshrined in Spurs Sainthood.

[Embedded]

Yes!!!!!

[ElNono]

we win... suck it up Budenholzerrrrrr

[ChumpDumper]

Bud with the playoff rotation tonight.

[look_at_g_shred]

Aint gonna lie, that was a nice play bud ran there! It looked awfully familiar (think Leonard game winner against Cavs last year)

[siraulo23]

Lol bud, running the spurs play hehe

[RD2191]

:lol

[Boomersgold]

Baynes sure is proving me wrong. I said a week ago that I didn't think he'd be a successful player at the NBA level. The last few games, he's played great!

[TheWriter]

Bud with his starters late in the fourth and they STILL lose to the Spurs C team. LMAO

[DJR210]

:lol

LMFAO @ your Avatar and new sig.

[Boomersgold]

Anyone know why De Colo played the majority of the backup pg minutes?

[HI-FI]

Anyone know why De Colo played the majority of the backup pg minutes?

i wouldn't worry about your boy Patty. most likely Pop wants to see if NDC can break out of his shooting funk or perhaps to showcase him to potential suitors.

[Embedded]

LOL Great Yacht has a little dingy

[ace3g]

"Oh, you think the clutchness is your ally, but you merely adopted the clutch. I was born in it, molded by it." - @aronbaynes (http://twitter.com/aronbaynes/)

[rastaspur]

NDC NEEDS TO GTFOH. I hear spain is lovely this time of year.

[Budkin]

LMAO Bud

[ace3g]

Great moment after the game, TD gives Baynes some love

[rick1991]

I went to the game and sat in the 4th row. I will upload some pics and videos I took soon

[Fireball]

Just watched the game, I liked Baynes much more than Ayres who is too tentative right now. DeColo did not look too bad, but missing all his shots will not help him.

[jiggy_55]

Why hasn't Kawhi been a bit more aggressive trying to get some shots?

[Ice009]

Just watched the game, I liked Baynes much more than Ayres who is too tentative right now. DeColo did not look too bad, but missing all his shots will not help him.

Yep, same old Nando, he's still impotent out there.

[CGD]

I missed the game, anyone care to give a player roundup? Looks like folks liked Baynes from the comments.

[sanman53]

I was at the game and here's a couple of things I noticed:

1. Marco/Ginobili playing together off the bench was fun to watch. The more they play together, they will be a solid 2nd unit, in my opinion. If Marco can find his spots on the floor and Gino can make a pass to him without turning it over, they might make a few baskets.

2. Jeff Ayres: He looked lost last night. I loved his effort though. If he will focus on grabbing some boards and his 'D', Marco and Gino will take care of the scoring.

3. Tim Duncan: Amazing! He continues to look great. Let's hope for an injury free season/playoffs. With him on the floor, we are certainly title contenders.

4. TP: Started slow, picked it up in the 3rd. He'll be fine this year.

5. Leonard: I had the best seats of my life for this game. It amazed me how his facial expressions NEVER change. He needs to work on his jumper off the dribble, the few he shot were way short. They didn't run many plays for him last night.

6. Bonner: He still shoots the 3 well. That's all he can do. Period. Oh, he did pick up about 3-4 fouls pretty quickly.

7. Baynes: Nice play for him at the end of the game. He picked up a few boards against some pretty decent big guys (Brand and Horford)

I really didn't see much from anyone else. It was a fun game to watch. Kevin Willis, Dennis Scott and Hubie Brown were a few people I noticed at the game.

[barakz21]

This must've been Ayres' first "bad" game, considering he's been doing real well. I'm excited to see what he can do in the regular season.

[Fireball]

Bonner also had a nice baby hook as well ... He is two dimensional in a non pressure game :-)

[PlayNando]

Cojo was awful! He needs to be put in the dog house! Talk about looking lost out there!
