Awesome. Thanks Hard Rick! :tu

[Darkwaters]

Wow, you guys are starting these threads really early now. It's not even the 17th in the states yet.

[apalisoc_9]

Would be nice to see kawhi's aggressiveness with Tony-Manu and Timmy playing. I know he shot the ball like crazy against Denver..he was shooting at a 30S per 30 not even counting the drives that resulted in fouls.

[Kool Bob Love]

Can you at least wait till its Oct 17 in San Antonio?

Gonna let it slide because it pre-season but come on man.

[Dex]

Since when did Game Threads have to be started on the day of the game? Sometimes there may be some discussion to be had prior to the game.

For a Spurs/Hawks preseason affair with all of the 2013 Savior Class already gone, I doubt it...but it's not like this is any new revelation.

[Ice009]

Can you at least wait till its Oct 17 in San Antonio?

Gonna let it slide because it pre-season but come on man.

Why does it have to be started on the day on the game?

[Biernutz]

Any TV for this game? I'm sure coach Bud will get a warm welcome.

[PlayNando]

Nando = impressive.

[Kool Bob Love]

Why does it have to be started on the day on the game?

It's Oct 17 in SA now. So it doesn't matter anymore.

:flag:

[FuzzyLumpkins]

As long as it's posted after the game before it then what does it matter?

[GeorgiaSpursFan]

I am going to the game. Sitting center court 4 rows from the floor. Will have some pics!

We don't have awesome seats like you, but this will be the first game we've been to in a while! We were hoping the preseason tix would be cheaper, but they're still stupid high for a game that doesn't affect anything. We'll be in the back row of section 112 in the corner near the visitor's bench(handicap row)
Go SPURS Go!!!

[Captivus]

Lets see what the new german acquisition can do for the Hawks.

[taps]

It is not televised. Any game stream links fellow posters would like to share?

[McGusto55]

TV?I checked LP nothing I also checked nbatv nothing..wtf nba...tnt has the heat vs nets ..bs

[look_at_g_shred]

Nando = impressive.
You know i would put you on my ignore list, bust some of your posts are just too much. They make my day sometimes. Thanks.

[monkeypunk]

Nando = impressive.

That was last years pre season. He had some assists in one game and a game winning shot in another but since then, not so much.

Lmao I think the One Alley-Oop was from Ginobili to Duncan right?

[ace3g]

Lmao I think the One Alley-Oop was from Ginobili to Duncan right?

I believe it was the lob to Kawhi


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFsKg1WsOxk

Well I guess it doesn't include playoffs, here is another


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty2SSCQbEdk

[gsmith78]

Lmao I think the One Alley-Oop was from Ginobili to Duncan right?

I think so. I remember being shocked that Timmy still had that in him, and that he didn't ream the passer for setting him up like that.

- edit: Woops, maybe not. That vid of the oop against the Lakers is what I remembered.

[Darius Bieber]

Ah right. My bad, that was the playoffs, and it was Green to Duncan.

[Brunodf]

Hawks by 27

[monkeypunk]

Bud will probably use the fourth quarter just as pop does, to evaluate the camp fodder. So expect to see the end of benchers (and some ugly bball) at the end of tonights game.

[ace3g]

Found the alley oop:

Splitter Alley Oop Dunk Shot: Made (6 PTS) Assist: Diaw (4 AST)

It was against the Kings on 11/9/12

[siraulo23]

^ yep horrible, is it gonna be like this all game

[NickiRasgo]

Yeah why camera angle is too close. WTF.

Thanks for the link. :tu
Camera angle isn't the best but I'll take it for free.

[bklynspursfan]

Sloppy game

[bklynspursfan]

Splitter with a block & a steal :tu

[SpursFan86]

Honestly not sure how much longer I'll be able to handle this camera angle. As much as I love Spurs basketball, this shit is unbearable.

[look_at_g_shred]

Horrible commentator lol. Horrrible video lol

[look_at_g_shred]

Duncan!!

[NickiRasgo]

Splitter looks good defensively but still can't finish strong.

[Rito3d30]

I feel kinda dizzy watching this

[look_at_g_shred]

Damn I wish Splitter would keep the ball up over his shoulders instead of down low when he's in the paint!! So frustrating!!!

[RD2191]

Splitter

[bklynspursfan]

Damn I wish Splitter would keep the ball up over his shoulders instead of down low when he's in the paint!! So frustrating!!!

It's amazing he doesn't, I mean Duncan does it so well. Don't know how he doesn't learn from him

[AusSpur]

The commentator sounds like he's calling the horses and its hard to tell whats going on with the camera zooming and following the ball!

[ace3g]

[AusSpur]

This is the worst basketball viewing experience I've ever had!

[NickiRasgo]

Ayres needs to work on that. Set a pick to Manu then look for a good position for a roll.

[TheGreatYacht]

Manu with his signature turnover

[ElNono]

This is the worst basketball viewing experience I've ever had!

sorry, no refunds

TD looking TD!

[look_at_g_shred]

It looks very daunting to be a Hawks fan.

[eds]

getting dizzy

[SpursFan86]

Is it that hard just to zoom out a bit so you're not having to follow the individual player with the ball?

[ElNono]

good first half... starters still a bit rusty

[ElNono]

time to bring in the scrubs and lose by 30

[TheGreatYacht]

Time for Nets vs refs

[look_at_g_shred]

time to bring in the scrubs and lose by 30

Don't do Nando like that!

[Libri]

Spurs up on Hawks = :lobt2:

:p:

[TheGreatYacht]

Season hasn't even started, and Kerr is already crowning the Heat... Coattail rider

[TheGreatYacht]

Lebron gets called for a travel :wow

[ace3g]

Lebron gets called for a travel :wow

Honestly if refs stay consistent, playoffs will be interesting with how they are calling moving screens and traveling

[TheGreatYacht]

Honestly if refs stay consistent, playoffs will be interesting with how they are calling moving screens and traveling I doubt it, they reinforced the flopping fine for 2 weeks then forgot all about it. But, there's always hope

[Hoops Czar]

Not watching the game. I wonder if Nando is have a game for himself or if his stats (10 min, 0/1, 2 reb, 0 assists) are misleading.

[RD2191]

anyone putting any merit into the heat/nets game?

[HI-FI]

Honestly if refs stay consistent, playoffs will be interesting with how they are calling moving screens and traveling
you never know with this league, it would be nice to see Lebron called out for his traveling a lot more. hopefully league feels like with his 2 rings, they can call things more evenly.

[ace3g]

The new delay of game thing as well: they are making sure players aren't grabbing the ball and handing it to the refs after a made basket.

[r0drig0lac]

whether it is an exhibition game, and incredible as this nets stacked this season, it will be difficult to beat them in 7 games

[look_at_g_shred]

TD!!!!!!!!!!!

[look_at_g_shred]

TD is havin some of that ATL pussy tonight !!Starting with dat blonde in the crowd!

[eds]

timmy

[look_at_g_shred]

[ElNono]

good start of the 2nd half

[look_at_g_shred]

Rollin'

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Nice to see us killing them on the boards. Millsap and Horford aren't shitty rebounders.

[HI-FI]

this must be the Bourne Supremacy of exhibition games.

[r0drig0lac]

brooklyn strolling easily

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Baynes!

[look_at_g_shred]

Those moving screens..

[r0drig0lac]

parker em god mode

[look_at_g_shred]

Tp looking like Game 3 Semi-Finals tbh...

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Parker going super saiyon again.

[SpursFan86]

Parker is unstoppable when he has his mid-range game going for him

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Those moving screens..

It's probably going to be the same thing as last preseason. Whistle happy until the season starts.

[TheGreatYacht]

14pts in the 3rd quarter for Parker. Its over

[TheGreatYacht]

Nvm De Colo is in, its over for US

[ace3g]

Nando showcase game? only other PG to get minutes tonight.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

It's nice to see Parker get guys onto his hip driving to the lane. That is what opens everything up.

[bklynspursfan]

TP was 0-4 going into halftime i believe. 6-6 this half

[ElNono]

here comes Matty to give up the lead

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Bonner still cannot protect the rim.

[AusSpur]

Go team white guys!

[TheGreatYacht]

De Colo comes in, 0-34 run for the Spurs

[r0drig0lac]

Go team white guys!
lol

[FuzzyLumpkins]

De Colo comes in, 0-34 run for the Spurs

It it just your thing to repeat yourself in slightly modified form over and again?

[look_at_g_shred]

Ugly ass shot Marco...

[RD2191]

:lmao

[Boomersgold]

How are you guys watching the game?

[TheGreatYacht]

It it just your thing to repeat yourself in slightly modified form over and again? It "it"
just your thing to not know how to spell?

Belli been underwhelming, yet much more solid than Neal ever been, IMO

[FuzzyLumpkins]

It "it"
just your thing to not know how to spell?

One thing they talk about better developed minds is they can interpret mistakes like typos and the like easily. Some people are not capable of doing so. Sorry about my not editing better. I'll write it again so you can figure it out.

Is it just your thing to repeat yourself in slightly modified form over and again?

[HI-FI]

Belli been underwhelming, yet much more solid than Neal ever been, IMO

this. i can't believe people are lamenting Neal over Belli.

[RD2191]

is this like a record for and 1s?

[bklynspursfan]

I hate seeing DeColo shoot lol I know it goes in sometimes but still. I never want he or Cojo shooting the ball

[FuzzyLumpkins]

And Bonner once again fails to protect the rim. No lateral quickness and just a poor attempt overall.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

and :lol at Bonner's farmer tan.

[RD2191]

jabonner

[bklynspursfan]

Belinelli channeling his inner Neal

[SpursFan86]

If only we could combine Mills's shooting with Joseph's defense and De Colo's passing/body. Backup PG problem solved

[AusSpur]

Neal would have been proud of that Beli pull up 3

[look_at_g_shred]

That was very neal-esque

[ElNono]

no scrubs yet... looking good

[ace3g]

nice control from Baynes on that layup

[HI-FI]

I think the concurrent Chumpdumper vs SBM/SA210 thread is outpacing this tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Bonner still cannot protect the rim.
And Bonner once again fails to protect the rim. No lateral quickness and just a poor attempt overall. I repeat myself?

[look_at_g_shred]

Nice way to close out the 3rd

[ace3g]

Marco will shoot some of those 3s off screens but he won't do it 90% of the time like Neal.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

While Baynes should kick long tooth Brand's ass on the boards its still nice to see him winning those contests.

[ElNono]

Manu told Belli to rush that 3 to get a 2 for 1...

[ace3g]

Fells time

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I repeat myself?

Yes, you do.

I was talking about two separate events. That might be above your ability to see that nuance so again I am sorry. I also added information in terms of why he is failing.

Contrast that with your various forms of 'DeColo sucks' and 'Manu sucks' snark.

[Boomersgold]

Kyle Korver still has it. Can we trade Bonner for Korver?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Korver would be a tremendous backup 3.

[HI-FI]

Nando has to be the most frustrating shooter on this team.

[jestersmash]

I legitimately don't remember the last time I saw Nando make a shot.

[look_at_g_shred]

Do you feel the lead about to shrink?

[bklynspursfan]

Bonner went straight up there

[ElNono]

Bonner with the hands up defense goods

[HI-FI]

damn those women ....

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Bonner is now letting the third string forwards to get loose for point blank shots. Make that two defensive possessions in a row.

[r0drig0lac]

Kyle Korver still has it. Can we trade Bonner for Korver?
x2

[TheGreatYacht]

Yes, you do.

I was talking about two separate events. That might be above your ability to see that nuance so again I am sorry. I also added information in terms of why he is failing.

Contrast that with your various forms of 'DeColo sucks' and 'Manu sucks' snark.

Lol Bonner is shooting 3-3, 2-2 from 3 and you're trashing him... De Colo does suck! 0-5 and 1 assist in 18 minutes... At least when I trash a player its because they're playing bad

[TheGreatYacht]

Nando has to be the most frustrating shooter on this team.

[look_at_g_shred]

Jailbait!

[HI-FI]

Jailbait!

yeah if you're into patchouli pussy.

[RD2191]

these fouls are ridiculous

[Boomersgold]

Bonner's defense is laughable

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Lol Bonner is shooting 3-3, 2-2 from 3 and you're trashing him... De Colo does suck! 0-5 and 1 assist in 18 minutes... At least when I trash a player its because they're playing bad

I realize analyzing defense is a bit more difficult than reading a box score. You don't apparently.

[ElNono]

Bonner's defense is laughable
