[xellos88330]

I wonder if Oden will play.

[Uriel]

Probably the most meaningful preseason game in franchise history, tbh.

[r0drig0lac]

[Vash StampedE]

Pop will again not have Parker, Duncan and Ginobili come with the team for this game. And then, Stern will again fine them even though it's just a preseason game.

[barakz21]

Pop will again not have Parker, Duncan and Ginobili come with the team for this game. And then, Stern will again fine them even though it's just a preseason game.

His rule doesn't end until 2014 right?

[jestersmash]

My guess is the big 3 of both teams will play but Miami will purposefully sandbag because they think they're too cool to try in a preseason game so we'll end up winning by a large margin.

[ace3g]

over/under how much footage of Game 6 they show?

[r0drig0lac]

only the "jesus shoot" several times

[RD2191]

Not feeling this game thread, Ace should of started it.

[Dex]

I still want to throw up whenever I think of Game 6.

The preseason being back in swing has helped, but fuck.

[DapDaGenius]

Manu won't have any turnovers until 4th quarter with 1:30 left and the Spurs up by 7. He will then manage to have 7 turnovers within the remaining time. The Heat will score off of every turnover he has.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck this game. :depressed

Its preseason anyway so I won't watch.

[Sean Cagney]

I still want to throw up whenever I think of Game 6.

The preseason being back in swing has helped, but fuck.
I thought about game 6 again last night and how close they were, damn nightmare that game is..... I don't watch anything from last year anymore after that.

[xmas1997]

I thought about game 6 again last night and how close they were, damn nightmare that game is..... I don't watch anything from last year anymore after that.

I don't either. Besides, that is history now.

[RD2191]

Fuck this game. :depressed

Its preseason anyway so I won't watch.
:bang

[Monkeyboy14]

I still think about it all the time, only thing that can make it stop is if the spurs ring this year against Miami tbh

[tenbeersbold]

What game 6 disaster do you speak of ;)

Thanks to you guys and having to sleep during Spurs games(living in Germany)

I stopped watching game 6 w/ 28 seconds left and never bothered w/ game 7

Honestly I think I'm better off,didn't see the collapse,didn't happen right ;)

That damned Power song by Will whatever now that THAT damn stings,every time I hear that inane tune I think Spurs losing...go figure

[FuzzyLumpkins]

ok

[FuzzyLumpkins]

ok

Quit eating like shit, fattie.

[loveforthegame]

I'm looking forward to the game. Even though its preseason I want to see how guys respond and what the new guys bring to the table against this team.

I'm just not looking forward to all the game 6 crap they're going to show and talk about. Mute button might get worn out tonight.

[RD2191]

I haven't even been able watch Ray Allen's 3 yet, this is going to be painful.

[Vic Petro]

Game 6 is a bruise that will never heal but I'm not avoiding anything. I want the Spurs to annihilate Miami every chance they get, preseason or not. I'm firmly in stage 4 and plan on staying there all season.

http://www.webmd.com/depression/guide/depression-grief

I'll move on to stage 5 after they win #5 this season.

[justinandimcool]

Yeah, I'm not watching this game.

[ElNono]

can't wait, should be a fun game

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

I don't know if I have the stomach to watch this game.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[RD2191]

Stage 2 here:lol

[ace3g]

The only thing I've been paying attention to during the preseason is how the new guys (Marco and Ayres) look.

[HI-FI]

I thought about game 6 again last night and how close they were, damn nightmare that game is..... I don't watch anything from last year anymore after that.

pretty much. I'd say the anger has become less, but occasionally I think about the blown chances and it still stings to a certain degree. Props to Parker for admitting that shit will bother him til he's dead. It's only human to think about what could've been. In the end Miami was the better team, but since so much of their team depends on the freakishness of Lebron and we're more system based and solidly built, I hope the law of averages works in our favor.

[Skull-1]

Manu won't have any turnovers until 4th quarter with 1:30 left and the Spurs up by 7. He will then manage to have 7 turnovers within the remaining time. The Heat will score off of every turnover he has.


Don't worry, cd021 assures us they will "only" cost nine points and are thus "not a big deal".

cd = complete dumba--

[ElNono]

Pop gonna sit everyone down by the 4th quarter anyways... this is just a game to watch the bellis and the ayres, tbh

[Trainwreck2100]

can't wait, should be a fun game

nope nope nope Sun Sports shitty commentators will be mentioning 6 every minute. They'll make Altidude sport's commentators look fair and balanced

[ElNono]

6 was so last year... I'm in new season mode.

[wildcardX]

Can't dwell on the game 6 loss, it happens. Miami could've kicked themselves for losing game 1. It all balances out, besides Spurs could've won game 6 in overtime and they could've won game 7. They had their chances but couldn't do it. Time to move on.

[lefty]

lol Heat announcer

[lefty]

lol no Lebron

[Axegrinder]

haa spo not playing LeBoob

[ElNono]

[loveforthegame]

Yep using the mute button.

[RD2191]

[ivanfromwestwood]

[timtonymanu]

Please, Miami, put RMJ in your main rotation.

[benstanfield]

[NASpurs]

Crazy move by Leonard.

[barakz21]

Nice spin by Kawhi

[loveforthegame]

[barakz21]

Kobe-esque

[Floyd Pacquiao]

[loveforthegame]

Leonard is a beast.

[RD2191]

KAwhiiiiii

[ElNono]

kiwi!

[NASpurs]

Someone is feeling it... Kawhi!

[timtonymanu]

Leonard lives for playing Miami.

[barakz21]

Wow, welcome to the Kawhi Leonard show

[RD2191]

Kawhi and Duncan only ones not afraid of the heat

[HI-FI]

Kawhi is so fucking smooth.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

LETS GOOOO LEONARD!

[RD2191]

:lolSplitter

[NASpurs]

4/5 in threes :lol

[Raven]

leonard looking good, parker looking like shit

[RD2191]

Shut up d rose, like he would play without getting paid

[raybies]

Kaboom...

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

I need a link that works. No NBAtv for me.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard is filthy.

[RD2191]

nice play

[RD2191]

not bad considering the heat are perfect from 3

[loveforthegame]

Damn Leonard.

[HI-FI]

Ginobili still in Heat Finals MVP mode.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

fucking boris passing up good 3s per par

[loveforthegame]

There you go Manu. Nice pass KL.

[Darius McCrary]

Flashbacks. Manu going out of his way to give the ball to the Heat. Shudder.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

lol turnobili

[loveforthegame]

Manu turnover. Shocking.

[NASpurs]

BTW who the fuck comes up with these preseason schedules? Fucking Stern must be laughing from his grave.

[hyhy]

why does this thread not auto update?

[RD2191]

Kawhi single handedly keeping the Spurs in it

[RD2191]

why does this thread not auto update?
think they were turned off during the finals, too much traffic

[RD2191]

bullshit foul

[RD2191]

Baynes>Splitter

[loveforthegame]

Nice Baynes.

[Raven]

passive diaw smh

[Floyd Pacquiao]

bitchass battier giving me flashbacks of game 7

[loveforthegame]

Turnobili. :bang

[ElNono]

go boris

[RD2191]

Im sorry, Manu just shouldn't play against the Heat.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard and Baynes were positives.

Parker not so much.

[ElNono]

so when do they give the ring to Manu? halftime? :hungry:

[HI-FI]

Manu picking up where he left off.....

[loveforthegame]

Looking forward to Belinelli and Ayers.

[timtonymanu]

No Marco?

[hyhy]

think they were turned off during the finals, too much traffic

it was on for the other preseason games?

[TE]

Why does Manu try so many tricky stunts vs the Heat? It should have sunk in by now

[RD2191]

The Heat thrive off of turnovers.

[r0drig0lac]

so when do they give the ring to Manu? halftime? :hungry:
kkk...probably

[RD2191]

They're too fast for Manu, his passes are just way too risky.

[HI-FI]

Why does Manu try so many tricky stunts vs the Heat? It should have sunk in by now

you think he would've changed his style of play when his body started breaking down. dude is as stubborn as his cult.

[loveforthegame]

Baynes not afraid.

[TE]

you think he would've changed his style of play when his body started breaking down. dude is as stubborn as his cult.
Have you heard? Manu is suppose to turn the corner this year!

[ElNono]

he's got as manu turnovers as Tony... let's not go crazy here

[loveforthegame]

Baynes with the clean up.

[ElNono]

baynes!

[Flawless]

Nice put back :wow

[RD2191]

Baynes>Splitter, not even joking anymore.

[loveforthegame]

Dumb foul.

[RD2191]

they never learn:lol

[loveforthegame]

Mans rebound by Baynes. Good 3 by Belinelli.

[loveforthegame]

Imagine if we had Baynes out there last year for rebounding.

[RD2191]

Can Baynes start? Can he play alongside Duncan? Serious question.

[TE]

I wonder what goes on with Battier tbh. He'll go through a stretch where he can't hit the side of the backboard. Then he'll go through a stretch where the bastard is straight up hot especially vs the Spurs. I don't get it.

[HI-FI]

Have you heard? Manu is suppose to turn the corner this year!

:lol

[silverblk mystix]

oh shit - they just showed Pop rubbing on lebron/wade

fuck!

[Budkin]

I still don't get why we're even playing the Heat in the preseason.

[loveforthegame]

Belinelli. :tu

[RD2191]

bullshit

[Raven]

how is that a defensive foul...

[loveforthegame]

Nice pass and cut by Belinelli.

[Blizzardwizard]

How's that a blocking foul?

[loveforthegame]

Neal who? Belinelli doing things out there.

[RD2191]

no lbj,no bonner, even game imo

[TE]

That's why beli is an upgrade. He has the added dimension of playmaking.

[silverblk mystix]

no lbj,no bonner, even game imo


:rollin

[timtonymanu]

Ughhh

[Spursfanfromafar]

So far... The Good - Kawhi, Belinelli, Duncan, Baynes
The Meh - Diaw, Manu, Tony, Joseph, Green
The Bad - Splitter,

[TE]

Wow. That flashback hurts tbh.

[AusSpur]

I wish they'd stop showing these finals highlights in this pre-season game!

[Robz4000]

Fuck that.

[loveforthegame]

Belinelli doing things.

[RD2191]

fuck

[ElNono]

hate that nigga cole

[timtonymanu]

How many open corner 3's did we allow already?

[loveforthegame]

NDC needs to sit down.

[TE]

Heat treating this game like a postseason game

[r0drig0lac]

all players in the heat, gain +20 3pt shoting against Spurs

[ElNono]

we're sucking... get Manu back in there...

[timtonymanu]

Ayres time!

[TE]

Manu's TOs are contagious

[loveforthegame]

Was Leonard playing too well?

[RD2191]

70 in a half, solid defense

[TE]

Was Leonard playing too well?
According to pop, yeah. Pop picking up from Game 6 IMO

[loveforthegame]

Can't say enough about Marco.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Can't fucking stand Miami anymore.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Turno-Beli..

[TE]

D Wade is bigger than I've ever seen him tbh. It's so obvious at this point.

[Raven]

belinelli is gonna be a cancer for this team smh smh smh 70 point half lol..

[hyhy]

We are playing a zone against a 5-out offense. = open corner threes

[loveforthegame]

Leonard comes in and makes things happen.

[r0drig0lac]

lol in wade trying to dribble over kawhi

[loveforthegame]

Good job Leonard. He's focused.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

nice leonard backing HGH down...getting a call..

[loveforthegame]

Lazy Green.

[r0drig0lac]

Good job Leonard. He's focused.
unfortunately it is the only

[loveforthegame]

Leonard drawing more attention and fouls. Making fts too.

[TE]

Does Miami think its still the finals? They're knocking down everything

[loveforthegame]

Leonard, Baynes, Marco, and Duncan showing no fear.

Parker shriveled up. Turnobili a mixed bag.

[RD2191]

can someone just pull a tonya harding on wade

[bklynspursfan]

It's a pre-season game, can't believe folks are making some of these comments lol.

[HI-FI]

D Wade is bigger than I've ever seen him tbh. It's so obvious at this point.
you think it would've been obvious with his overgrown jaw or Lebron's cro-magnon look or bacne, but fuck it, NBA can't upset the gravy train. gotta hope that Biogenesis closing down at least puts a dent in their supply line.

[RD2191]

fucker

[rogues]

:lol you gotta love three, tbh..

[RD2191]

hgh wade:lol

[rogues]

:lol all the haters in this thread, tbh..

[Suspect]

:cry its just preseason guys :cry

[r0drig0lac]

diaw in sf

[loveforthegame]

There you go Ayers.

[ElNono]

lol starters

[loveforthegame]

Marco doing things.

[RD2191]

idc if its pre season, this is embarrassing

[apalisoc_9]

Anything to be concerned about Leonards knee bag right now?

[rogues]

:lol we're not even trying because its the preseason, tbh..

[loveforthegame]

Parker is embarrassing.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Parker is playing shitty as fuck

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

:lol we're not even trying because its the preseason, tbh..

just like you weren't trying in the finals, bruh?

we'll meet in the finals again. and duncan will shit on bosh just like he did last year. just wait. gonna send lebron over to LA and d-wade into retirement this year

[rogues]

The Spurs are finally figuring out its Father Time in the preseason:lol..long season for you all upcoming, tbh..

[loveforthegame]

Don't care about the loss.

Wanted to see how certain guys responded and whether the new guys would make any difference.

[r0drig0lac]

splitter soft hand fucking, team enters the season already psychologically fucked up every time to face the super friends

[RD2191]

already cant stand beasley

[rogues]

Three muscling up that shit with his pythons, tbh..

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

The Spurs are finally figuring out its Father Time in the preseason:lol..long season for you all upcoming, tbh..

based off gino only playing 8 minutes or parker and duncan combining for only 7 shots?

you guys are trying so hard to win while we give players like baynes and joseph time to play against your starters so we have more depth for the post season... didn't think of that huh?

[DesertSpur50]

Not sure why Parker even decided to show up today...

[xmas1997]

Heat better hope they don't test for peds, especially Wade.

[ElNono]

can't hate, tbh... HGH Wade beastin'

[Monkeyboy14]

:lol we're not even trying because its the preseason, tbh..
And the spurs are?

[ElNono]

Tiago, smh...

[Fuzzy Dunlop]

:lol Spur fan wanting a rematch against Miami. They're making you their bitch atm.

[ElNono]

lol defense... nice pass Manu

[HI-FI]

:lol we're not even trying because its the preseason, tbh..
sup Rogue. not trying, then why you playing Bosh and Wade major minutes?

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

:lmao d-wade and bosh playing 30 minutes in a preseason game... ginobili has played 8 minutes and duncan and parker have played 15 a piece

[r0drig0lac]

:lol Spur fan wanting a rematch against Miami. They're making you their bitch atm.
and still not win the East this season

[DapDaGenius]

I don't understand why you guys haven't accepted that the Spurs can't compete with the Heat. The Heat are of a higher caliber. We won't be able to actually compete with the Heat until we get rid of our pussy centers and when Turnobili retires. Just keeping it real.

[Boomersgold]

Even our passing's trash tonight.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

I don't understand why you guys haven't accepted that the Spurs can't compete with the Heat..

b/c we were 5 seconds from winning a title over them...?

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Either our defense is really bad or they are killing us shooting 65% and 95 points w/ 3 minutes left in 3rd lol

[r0drig0lac]

I don't understand why you guys haven't accepted that the Spurs can't compete with the Heat. The Heat are of a higher caliber. We won't be able to actually compete with the Heat until we get rid of our pussy centers and when Turnobili retires. Just keeping it real.
all that shit you posted I agree with the part of centers pussies (splitter, I'm talking to you), but I think the main problem and the lack of heat that has to lot: fowards who can play in three positions (mainly SF and PF), so we have one, and forcing two (diaw), and continued doing so made ​​all the difference.

[rogues]

Three and Bosh are in for rhythm..

As can be seen, we are just imposing our will on the old ass Spurs, tbh..this preseason game is a small microcosm for all teams out there..you come at the champs, you best not miss..we fight, we fight, tbh..

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Stop acting like this game means anything. We can lose by 60, or win by 60, you should still feel the same afterwards.This game isn't a rematch, it isn't a grudge match, it's a preseason game that should have never been scheduled, and it's about as important as what the team will have for dinner after the game.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

:lmao won't be first seed or make it out the east
:lmao bandwagon

going to be funny when you remove the nets, making a new lebron "the decision", and you disappear from the map to mediocrity again

[Godbama]

:lmao d-wade and bosh playing 30 minutes in a preseason game... ginobili has played 8 minutes and duncan and parker have played 15 a piece

[bklynspursfan]

Chalmers being hot headed and wade getting a T. There's a difference in meaning of this game between the 2 teams...fairly obvious. I mean SA came out with a zone defense lol

BTW, announcers saying spurs haven't used kawhi much this half and he hasn't taken a shot yet. Not realizing he hasn't played at all this half lol

I'm just happy with what Leonard did in his limited minutes, Marco's play (we already know he doesn't play scared vs Miami) and Baynes .

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

GINOBILIIIIII

Exactly, the only thing anyone should care about, is the play of the new players or the players playing a bigger role this season, and how they look in the system. But.. LOL at 52 minutes between Bosh and Wade.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

tbh we aren't playing bad

8-13 from 3.. the turnovers are bad tho and 23-25

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Ayres showing the chops to get to the line a few times. If he can consistently do that, he'll be that much more valuable.

[rogues]

Scrub Jones with the threeeeee..

[JohnnyMax]

102 points in 3 quarters

[ElNono]

Pop hiding Kawhi from phillibeaner...

[r0drig0lac]

Scrub this automatic today, when the season started it back to normal without PT

[Robz4000]

Nothing you can do tbh, Heat just not missing tonight.

:lol preseason basketball

[loveforthegame]

Good news is that the new guys (Baynes, Marco, Ayers) will be difference makers.

Manu looks a little better.

Leonard and Duncan look focused.

Parker is the real concern.

[RD2191]

Younger, not better. Prime Spurs would shit all over this Heat team.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Parker injured

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Parker is not a concern, he's coming off an MVP caliber season, and winning the gold for his country.

When the regular season starts, he will command this team swimmingly.

[loveforthegame]

Parker injured

Really? Wonderful.

[Budkin]

Anyone trying to make anything of this game has not watched the NBA much. It means diddly shit tbh.

[JohnnyMax]

Tiago Splitter is so easy to block to the point it encourages defenders too jump.

[rogues]

Nothing you can do tbh, Heat just not missing tonight.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Really? Wonderful.

@JMcDonald_SAEN (http://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=JMcDonald_SAEN)
Parker was flexing his left hand coming off the floor. Will Sevening goes to check on him. Parker waves him off.

[ElNono]

lol matt

[bklynspursfan]

And re: Parker, the last 2 years he has started off slow. Its taken like a month or so for him to get going. Way too early to be concerned with him

[rogues]

It was only a matter of time, tbh..sucks for the Spurs, things could only get worse..

[MAx_Eric]

Green just let us down as well...
he supposed to improve his skill sets too!!!

Where is his defense and 3 pointers?

[RD2191]

Kawhi with 17 in 12 minutes, fuckin awesome.

[DapDaGenius]

b/c we were 5 seconds from winning a title over them...?

Exactly. We can't compete with them. If we could, we would have won the finals. Every second counts. Seconds can and often do, decide the winner.

[ElNono]

hate battier... he's the contemporary Bowen... I'll probably love him on the Spurs
