Game 2 Thread: Spurs @ Lakers, November 1st 2013

[$pursDynasty]

Save us Tony Wan Kenobi you are our only hope! At least TP can hit a layup

[Raven]

there you go, you take cancerinelli out and the game starts again

[$pursDynasty]

any you guys bag on heroball, heck if not for TP how many points would we have?

[DapDaGenius]

LOL That hustle.

[BatManu20]

Greeeen 3. We're back in it.

[LakerHater]

7-0 RUN!!

[elmanutres]

Dam looks like bellinelli is exacly like neal. as soon as he is benched the offense starts moving again

[RD2191]

tf is up with Kawhi? looking like a scrub out there

[hater]

Green is Money!

nice arc too

[barakz21]

Pretty weird seeing Verde bringing the ball up the court..

[Libri]

nice little run :tu

[siraulo23]

yes 3 straight buckets

[Raven]

I thought injury time outs are 30 seconds only? After that, he has to be taken out?

Or is it because they're cleaning the floor?

i think it's because he had to shoot ft, but i'm just guessing..

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago working hard

[james evans]

ok, now we're back to our regular scheduled program

[Raven]

any you guys bag on heroball, heck if not for TP how many points would we have?

how is going to the rim heroball?

[Russo21]

green could get himself in the MIP discussion this year. can score and has defensive potential. cant dribble for shit tho

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Spurs will easily come back from this deficit. 7-0 run already

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Beautiful one handed and one

[Russo21]

kawhibunger!

[Raven]

kawhi bullying swaggy p

[BatManu20]

Finally Kawhi

[LakerHater]

& 1!

[Johnny RIngo]

Marco our big offseason signing :lmao

Overpaying the washed-up Argy was our big off-season move.

Anyway, Ayres and Belli were, at best, lateral movies after losing Neal/Blair. Never understood why the SA fanbase was hyping Marco up so much. He's a career scrub. And Ayres is crap - I'm convinced the Spurs only signed him because of some advanced stat figures. They made that same mistake, years ago, with Jackie Butler.

[siraulo23]

kawhi finally makes one

[RD2191]

get a fukin rebound

[LakerHater]

Tiago!

[RD2191]

fuck

[Cry Havoc]

Laker lead dissipating. :D

[LakerHater]

WTF!?!

GO UP STRONG Tiago!

[loveforthegame]

Executing much better.

[BatManu20]

There we go baby

[Budkin]

LOL all the people calling Belli and Ayres scrubs. Chill the fuck out.

[Raven]

wtf ayres

[LakerHater]

YES TOny!!

[RD2191]

:lmaofukin flop

[Russo21]

ayres looks to be a pretty big mobile fella

[BatManu20]

Refs calling bullshit charge calls per par

[LakerHater]

NOOO WAAAY!!!

[RD2191]

thats a bullshit call

[loveforthegame]

Late call. BS.

[LakerHater]

LATE whistle!!
C'Mon!

[DapDaGenius]

Glad to see we're closing in. We need to not get these fouls tho.

[Brunodf]

:lol Refs

[Russo21]

kawhibunger!!!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard!!

[Russo21]

gasol schooled tiago right there

[LakerHater]

KaBOOM!

[Raven]

splitter got schooled there..

[BatManu20]

Splitter awful defense smh. Then he turns it over with a travel lol

[Budkin]

Fucking bullshit calls.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[LakerHater]

No Vales Tiago!

[timtonymanu]

LOL all the people calling Belli and Ayres scrubs. Chill the fuck out.

There's gonna be a lot of post like that this year.

[elmanutres]

ever since the finals splitter has been playin like a pussy

[LakerHater]

Sit his ass down!!

[Raven]

:lol my nigga swaggy p

[hater]

:lmao NIck Young is the biggest retard in the NBA and he plays for the Lakers

Love it :lol

[james evans]

i'm sorry, but splitter is fukin trash. if duncan isn't on the floor with him, he looks like shawn kemp(the orlando magic version)

[siraulo23]

god damn this is a horrible bball game

[BatManu20]

ever since the finals splitter has been playin like a pussy

If it looks like a dog and barks like a dog..

[Darius Bieber]

Ayres looking good and providing energy. Currently looking like a better pick up than Marco.

[jestersmash]

i'm sorry, but splitter is fukin trash. if duncan isn't on the floor with him, he looks like shawn kemp(the orlando magic version)

I don't quite see the same "hunger" from Splitter to hustle his ass off now that he's gotten his big contract.

[Uriel]

Finally awake.

[hater]

LOL all the people calling Belli and Ayres scrubs. Chill the fuck out.

its the same ppl that quit on the team in the Warriors series last year

[LakerHater]

Tiago

[Russo21]

ayres looks bigger then 6'9"

[RD2191]

:lmaorefs

[BatManu20]

3 fouls on Kawhi already... shit. Refs calling garbage though

[Raven]

its the same ppl that quit on the team in the Warriors series last year

not at all, belinelli is a cancerous scrub, he always was and always will, and :lol at anyone hyping his high bbiq, i've heard it plenty of times lately and that's like saying kirby is an efficient shooter.. said nothing about aires though.

[Brunodf]

Why is Ayers taking jumpers?

[hater]

Tiago has 5 offensive boards and guarding the lakers best player by far 1-1. chill out

[loveforthegame]

Like Ayers activity.

Leonard getting no respect. :td

[LakerHater]

sit him the last 1:51 of the half

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Funky shot

[$pursDynasty]

Since Splitter will never be overpowering, and while I know Kareem would never do it, the Spurs coaches should work on the sky hook w/ Tiago. It might be the perfect offensive move for him.

[RD2191]

fuck that shit, fuck these refs

[Captivus]

Ayres shot looked awful

[BatManu20]

Ayers makes a lot of really dumb mistakes

[barakz21]

Damn Ayres having a lot of miscues

[hater]

Ayres does look terrible the last couple of mintues thou :lol

[LakerHater]

Killing the momentum!

[Russo21]

missed the shot but I liked marcos movement off the ball there

[hater]

:lmao at this game

fucking scrubs. is this the nba? :lol

[RD2191]

cant tie the fukin game

[TE]

Tony got mauled there

[LakerHater]

HOLY SHIT, we gotta call!?

[r0drig0lac]

ayres is dumb

[RD2191]

:lol

[BatManu20]

Splitter you scrub

[ElNono]

these calls... smh

[TE]

Good fucking god that call. Really? There's been much worse on the other end tbh.

[LakerHater]

TIAGO!!

[r0drig0lac]

lol ...floater

[BatManu20]

LOL Splitter with some lucky bullshit shot before half. I'll take it

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Splitter with the ultimate scrub shot

[bklynspursfan]

Ayres has provided much better minutes than Diaw/Bonner/Baynes. He's had a few errors but he's hustling. Happy to see Splitter getting some boards and being physical

[Brunodf]

:lol This game

[ElNono]

not bad, considering the 1st quarter and Kawhi in foul trouble

[PlayNando]

Damn, Tiago. Dat hook. :lol

[RD2191]

what a frustrating game with these garbage refs

[Budkin]

Fucking Tiago. Well anyway if we play even halfway decent in the 2nd half we got this.

[$pursDynasty]

lol ...floater

Tony taught him well

[xellos88330]

Spurs need to figure out how to handle pressure defense. Too many bad passes and dribbles because of that shit.

[Raven]

missed the shot but I liked marcos movement off the ball there

except it was a retarded shot, didn't even look at anything just took the ball and shot in a highly inefficient fade away.. that's basically his go-to move most of the time, fine when he's hot, you'll want to kill him when he's not, and no it's not the same as with neal.

[LakerHater]

If Tiago woulda made 1 FT, we'd be tie!

[Spurs Brazil]

:lol Tiago

[freetiago]

Spurs have so many stupid mistakes
if they just cut down on half of them then its a 10+ point game

[BatManu20]

All things considered we played pretty terrible the first half minus Parker, and we're only down by 1.

[Budkin]

Our guys will gel. All new to playing with each other.

[Brunodf]

Everybody but Tony played like shit, Spurs should be better in the 2nd half...

[RD2191]

both teams shot like shit in the first half, tbh

[LakerHater]

Spurs-36.7%


fLakers- 32.5%

[LakerHater]

[Captivus]

We need the new Patty!

[BillMc]

We got this. Not worried.

[james evans]

the league needs to get rid of that charging rule on a player without the ball. steve blake takes advantage of that every season. u can't even move without the ball now. they need to get rid of charging calls period. not offensive fouls or charging calls when someone pushes off or dips their shoulder, but players standing around waiting for contact. that's destroying the game

[Russo21]

its allright, Miami aren't in a playoff position at the moment lmao

[TE]

Tbh the league needs to fix this. Another player who takes advantage of that loophole is Battier

[spurraider21]

Fwiw I'm glad I'm at work and can't watch this abortion shooting performance

[Mnky]

Man, the spurs look a lot faster...albeit unable to keep up with their speed as of yet.. I think this bodes well for the future. Good problem to have.

[podesta]

Without any quality big, SAS have no chance.

[DapDaGenius]

What happened to the right side of Bill Simmons' face?

[TE]

What happened to the right side of Bill Simmons' face?
Lack of evenly distributed makeup, imo

[Johnny RIngo]

i'm sorry, but splitter is fukin trash. if duncan isn't on the floor with him, he looks like shawn kemp(the orlando magic version)

Splitter looks ok to me. He's crashing the boards and his defense is solid. Yeah, his ISO offense is shit(especially when matched up against a tall defender like Pau) but it's not like he's hurting the team tonight. He's our second best player after Parker.

Our new signings are garbage though. And Baynes seems to have a very low bball IQ.

[Obstructed_View]

Agreed. I've said before that they should just declare any questionable call in favor of the offense. That will keep people from trying to get cheap ones.

[PingPong]

Ayres leading the +/- with +15... the new Matt Bonner?

[RD2191]

Lack of evenly distributed makeup, imo
:lmao

[Obstructed_View]

Ayres leading the +/- with +15... the new Matt Bonner?

If he hadn't taken those awful long jump shots his +/- would be even higher.

[TE]

We need to get the lead and jump on them when possible imo

[LakerHater]

[jestersmash]

Some lakersground fans (read: User "24") are literally idiotic enough to think the refs helped the Spurs back into this game through officiating :lol

We're 3-5 from the free throw line. Lakers are 13-15.

[jestersmash]

I'm noticing a trend. User "24" on lakersground routinely has some of the worst takes I've ever had the displeasure of reading.

[DapDaGenius]

Lack of evenly distributed makeup, imo

Maybe. What I'm referring to kind of looks like it was like failed plastic surgery or botox. I'm not trying to sound like a weirdo by noticing it, but I noticed it during the NBA Preview he did with Jalen Rose on the Grantland YouTube channel.

He even made a joke with Jalen and said "You can punch me in the right side of my face, I need the left side".

[jestersmash]

Seriously, Jodie fucking Meeks runs into the lane and the refs give him a superstar call, and yet Tony Parker has 0 free throws through the first half when he's constantly in the lane.

[PlayNando]

Manu starting 2nd half.

[DapDaGenius]

Did Manu just stand on his tiptoes twice? LOL

[RD2191]

fuck

[RD2191]

terrible defense

[Johnny RIngo]

Ayres has provided much better minutes than Diaw/Bonner/Baynes. He's had a few errors but he's hustling. Happy to see Splitter getting some boards and being physical

Nah, Ayres/Diaw/Baynes were all equally terrible. They scored a combined 0 pts on 0-8 shooting and those three are largely responsible for most of our turnovers tonight(they committed 7 TOS...the rest of the team had 2 TO). Splitter's our only decent big tonight.

[RD2191]

:lmaospurs

[TE]

Now they can't miss

[LakerHater]

fLakers like that side better!

[Raven]

young is sooooo retarded

[LakerHater]

Wayta stay with Kawhi!

[LakerHater]

1-4 & Young takes it!

[RD2191]

gtfo bonner

[BanditHiro]

fucking boner

[BatManu20]

Please God take out scrub Bonner

[r0drig0lac]

floper vai flop..ops..

[Libri]

Bonner doing Bonner stuff

[SpurPadre]

Whenever Bonner misses two wide open shots in a row, take that piece of shit out of the floor.

[LakerHater]

GREAT CALL!!

[Johnny RIngo]

nice defense from Tiago

[RD2191]

nash trying to outflop the master

[Raven]

:lol nash

[LakerHater]

Nash cant guard Tony!

[RD2191]

terrible fukin defense, gtfo spurs

[BanditHiro]

these Lakers are such faggots. tank you fuckers

[Ginobili3]

Damn good move by Tony

[RD2191]

unacceptable 3 point d for a veteran team

[Brunodf]

Something is wrong with the Spurs defense, in the PnR Splitter and Tony are getting beat too easy and somehow there's always a player wide open in the perimeter

[PlayNando]

LOL at the Lakers trotting out this 40 year old TOSB to guard TP.

[Obstructed_View]

Pop needs to not have Bonner in the game when the score is close. It's going to fuck up his field goal percentage.

[bklynspursfan]

Nah, Ayres/Diaw/Baynes were all equally terrible. They scored a combined 0 pts on 0-8 shooting and those three are largely responsible for most of our turnovers tonight(they committed 7 TOS...the rest of the team had 2 TO). Splitter's our only decent big tonight.

I guess. Maybe it's deceptive cause he was in pretty much the whole time during the rally. Really disappointed with Diaw's soft play

[Russo21]

diaw 7 minutes? did he get hurt or just chillin on the bench for now?

[bklynspursfan]

I'm just realizing Pop's move. Starting Manu means Nash will have to guard Tony or Manu.

[freetiago]

Pop needs to tell Splitter to stop doing these hard shows on pick and roll
Nash cant get to the basket anymore
dont need to play him likes hes D Rose
Splitter is a step late to contest Gasol since hes showing too hard
then Ginobili wont have to cover the roll man leaving open the 3 point shooters

[BatManu20]

Our D is looking pretty shitty tbh

[Uriel]

Get a hand up on his face. Is that so hard?

[SpurPadre]

Nash cant guard Tony!

Nash's d makes Gary Neal's D look like Gary Payton's.

[siraulo23]

2nd half more enjoyable but d is worse

[ElNono]

Blake was 0-5 in the 1st half... between him or Gasol, you want him to take every shot... he's 2-2 since then though

[Captivus]

We cant defend the P&R, players know that and try to help leaving their man open.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Blake always hurts the Spurs, he was solid against them in the playoffs last year.

[BatManu20]

Jesus Splitter.. smh

[LakerHater]

Yeeessss!!!!

[DapDaGenius]

Blake always hurts the Spurs, he was solid against them in the playoffs last year.

I do not remember him ever playing decent against the Spurs.

[Raven]

wow that was unblockable from leonard

[r0drig0lac]

kawhi in post

[Russo21]

does hubie brown ever shut up

[RD2191]

oh come on

[BatManu20]

Spurs 3-14 from beyond the arc. Kawhi 0-3.

[Raven]

we're taking over

[BatManu20]

Tony carrying us offensively

[LakerHater]

YES!!

[r0drig0lac]

mvparker in job

[bklynspursfan]

Were gonna get killed tomorrow, I have a feeling lol

[Brunodf]

Tony and Kawhi need some help

[Captivus]

How many open looks is Gasol gonna get? Kmon

[ElNono]

so we're resting everyone tomorrow night...

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes, Tony!

[RD2191]

has everyone bought lube for the ass raping in portland?:lol

[Obstructed_View]

I'm not sure why some of you guys are surprised that people are left wide open at the perimeter when Bonner's on the floor. He sort of runs around chasing the ball.

[007nites]

This is TP's game. Nash can't stay on him and he can easily burn past Gasol on the drive.

[timtonymanu]

has everyone bought lube for the ass raping in portland?:lol

I'll be at the arena. Dgaf as long as I get stuff signed. :lol

[RD2191]

I'll be at the arena. Dgaf as long as I get stuff signed. :lol
awesome, hope the Spurs can pull out a win for ya

[Captivus]

I'm not sure why some of you guys are surprised that people are left wide open at the perimeter when Bonner's on the floor. He sort of runs around chasing the ball.

:lol You mean like a kid??

[Splits]

Splitter so fucking soft

[BatManu20]

Surprised Belinelli has been a complete non-factor this game, although he hasn't played a whole lot

[BanditHiro]

fuck BS

[timtonymanu]

awesome, hope the Spurs can pull out a win for ya

:toast

[Brunodf]

:bang Green got dumber in the offseason

[bklynspursfan]

Diaw just looks awful

[RD2191]

come on man

[loveforthegame]

Diaw come on

[Shaolin-Style]

is diaw the #1 option on offense all the sudden

[PingPong]

Diawnnn

[LakerHater]

daMN Baynes!

[Raven]

dear god

[RD2191]

:lmaoGREEN

[BatManu20]

Jesus Christ Danny Green

[bklynspursfan]

God Green are you serious

[PlayNando]

LOL AT DANNY

[ace3g]

Green...

[Russo21]

:lmao

[RD2191]

dear god
:lmao

[r0drig0lac]

horrible game

[PingPong]

Ugly game...

[LakerHater]

What the Fuck Green!!?

Can this guy ever finish at the rim??

[Boomersgold]

Man... Baynes is playing like trash.

[DapDaGenius]

Dammit Baynes, Dammit Green.

[Kyuui-Musikq]

Nothing comforting in knowing Green is still the same 'ol Green

[Captivus]

OMG!!

[BatManu20]

If didn't know any better I'd say these are two really bad teams playing right now

[007nites]

.................................................. ..............................

[TE]

Abortion ball

[gee]

Green blowing the easy layup, per fucking par

[loveforthegame]

Green please.

[Ginobili3]

Green:lol

[Biernutz]

take it to the hole

[bklynspursfan]

There you go Diaw, use that backside man

[ace3g]

Diaw 2.0

[wildcardX]

:lol So many mistakes, but hell LET THEM PLAY!!

[Mikeanaro]

Green is high...

[Ginobili3]

Get Baynes out of there please, nigga just missed the easiest layup

[RD2191]

patty looking like garbage tbh

[TE]

Lol abortion ball

[RD2191]

:lmao

[Biernutz]

sucks

[TE]

Damn Lakers, tank

[Russo21]

least green can give you a few chuckles during each game

[BatManu20]

Good god I've never seen a team miss so many got damn lay ups and 3-foot shots. The Spurs should be embarrassed. Luckily we're playing the Lakers so we're still winning somehow

[Darius Bieber]

If we play like this with a day off, I really don't want to see tomorrow's game..

[TE]

Diaw is such a fatty

[Raven]

not sure what to make of baynes, he is very active but just doesn't look like a basketball player.. he is still really really raw, which is concerning.

[Captivus]

Diaw is a big that can pass...:bang

[TE]

If we play like this with a day off, I really don't want to see tomorrow's game..
It's going to be a replay of that 40+ point beat down of last year in the Alamo

[PlayNando]

Danny Green is a joke. Not a starting caliber guard in the nba tbh.

[Boomersgold]

Not going to lie here. Patty's getting wide open shots and he's missing them. In other words, he's ineffective.
