Portland is playing a back to back too, after beating Denver in the altitude last night.

Update here if Pop is gonna sit anybody out.


FSSW, 9PM San Antonio time (10PM EST).

[TXstbobcat]

Let's make it 3 in a row! I hope Tim is back for this one.

[timtonymanu]

I'm gonna be at the arena! I hope no one sits, tbh. :lol

[LakerHater]

What time & channels??

[RD2191]

Sharpening my razors...

[Kool Bob Love]

Sharpening my razors...

:lmao

[freetiago]

Spurs at Portland = loss
didn't they drop like 140 on millitary appreciation night last time
if the Spurs play pick and roll D the same way they did tonight Aldridge is going for 40

[ace3g]

Patty and Ayres have big games

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Yeah pop will tell em to give up the midrange jumper per par allowing aldridge and company to sexually abuse the spurs per the par for the course.

[ElNono]

What time & channels??

FSSW, 9PM San Antonio time (10PM EST).

[PlayNando]

WE WILL BURY THEM tbh.

[blkroadrunners]

Damian Lilliard: over or under 30 this game?

Weber State standout smoked CoJo's @$$ last time.

[timtonymanu]

Don't forget Mo Williams is there too now and he always turns into a superstar against us.

[ElNono]

Portland is very top-heavy... basically their starters (and Mo Williams instead of Lopez) do all their scoring, but also play a lot of minutes. Hopefully they're a bit worn out after playing in the altitude.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Manu, tim, tony and kawhi are probably boarding a southwest flight home rightnow

[Mugen]

Spurs will probably be down 1 when Pop draws up a flare out for a Baynes 3pointer. Pop loses his damn mind when he goes up to the Rose Garden tbh.

[CitizenDwayne]

Mo Williams is there too now

Shit.

[Brunodf]

Blazers by 74

[ElNono]

Spurs will probably be down 1 when Pop draws up a flare out for a Baynes 3pointer. Pop loses his damn mind when he goes up to the Rose Garden tbh.

I don't think there's even good wine there...

[HI-FI]

I don't think there's even good wine there...

nigga gets high off that hipster kush

[Robz4000]

Expected loss, so as long as some of the scrubs show off their shit (De Colo) I'm happy.

[racm]

I've a gut feeling Mills goes HAM in the totally-not-the-Rose-Garden tbh.

Starting five: Mills/Green/Belinelli/Diaw/Splitter. Spurs by 2. :hat

[will_spurs]

I don't think there's even good wine there...

Actually Oregon is one of the best wine growing areas in the US, famous for its Pinot Noir based wines.

[FireMicoHalili]

WE WILL BURY THEM tbh.
Really? Tbh bro?

[ElNono]

Actually Oregon is one of the best wine growing areas in the US, famous for its Pinot Noir based wines.

thanks, had no idea

[Mugen]

I expect all hands on deck in the 3rd game of the season tbh.

[Staplepuffs27]

I'm gonna be at the arena! I hope no one sits, tbh. :lolHow are your seats?

[wildcardX]

I predict Spurs by 3. Slow and sloppy game from both teams but I think the Spurs will shoot better from outside than last night.

[Splits]

How good have the Spurs been over the past 5 years?


The Blazers, however, are one of two teams with a winning record against the Spurs during the regular season since 2008-09. They've won 12 of 17 meetings over that span, while Miami owns a less-impressive 5-4 record.

We spoiled.

[TheyCallMePro]

You know I thought we might lose this game but then I looked at Portland's roster and outside of their starters it's not very good. At all.

We have so much more depth than they do. If their starters don't play well then we'll win easily.

Plus we lost to them by 30 the last time we played them. We want revenge. What better way to get it than by beating them in their home opener?

[Kyuui-Musikq]

LaMarcus Alrdridge always seems to kill us. I can't imagine what it's going to see him and Damian Lilliard go at us together. That pairing seem to have some of the same traits as a Tony and Tim. Theoretically at least

[Kyuui-Musikq]

Alright, I'm with Time Warner and FSSW programming is showing that their aired to play the Mavs game in contradiction to Spurs.com saying otherwise. Anyone know if the Spurs game is going to be aired definitively? I'm located in Corpus Christi. South Texas

Cory Joseph started that game. Can't imagine us playing that bad with TP in the lineup.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Any news if Timmy is playing?

[look_at_g_shred]

Toros? Fuck u OP /blue

[HarlemHeat37]

Agreed with those not expecting a W tonight, tbh..

Playing in Portland is usually horrific for the Spurs..

[Plum Island]

I don't know, but I will say that I was born and raised in Ingleside, right outside of Corpus...


So big ups.

I live in El Paso now and I haven't seen the "Third Coast" in a long while.

I hope it's still as fun as I remember it.

[Plum Island]

I always go into a game expecting a win.

Over the past decade or so- I'm generally pleased more often than not.

How about you?

Ha ha ha!

I'm not sure I even know...

[freetiago]

Lettuce hope Marco comes out tonight and has a Gary Nealesque game vs Portland
this was the only game we won there in like 3 years i believe

vH_5qbF44Io

[KL2]

Pop says TD will play tonight

[Mugen]

So i'm guessing it's a complete lineup tonight???

[GrandeDavid]

Cool! I hope you have fun and report back on how the atmosphere was and how many Spurs fans you saw!

[apalisoc_9]

Hopefully they get a 20+ lead going into the fourth so the second unit can play the rest of the minutes.

[Libri]

Hopefully Bonner can make some shots, rebound, and play some good defense.

[TrainOfThought5]

If youre gonna start a game thread at least put the time and network.

[mclinejr]

I'm expecting cliff jumping in mass proportions tonight :)

[ElNono]

If youre gonna start a game thread at least put the time and network.

It's in the first page... lazy ass... :lol


FSSW, 9PM San Antonio time (10PM EST).

[Captivus]

MCW with another incredible game.

[Captivus]

Im watching on NBA TV in Argentina.

[PlayNando]

Manu has the highest PER on the team so far tbh.

[Captivus]

TD is playing!

[Joyrider]

Duncan with a great game tonight. 20/13/4, imho.

[apalisoc_9]

No links?

[PlayNando]

TD brick

[PlayNando]

And it begins. They're hitting everything on us..

[Marrow]

Duncan with a great game tonight. 20/13/4, imho.

That's good...now i can relax

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

"He's not known for that" ROFL

[Rito3d30]

TD for 2

[r0drig0lac]

timmy

[PlayNando]

TP being owned on D tbh

[DapDaGenius]

Good job Duncan.

[r0drig0lac]

tim in automatic mid range

[PlayNando]

DG fastbreak :lol

[PlayNando]

tiago soft per par

put in boris

[HarlemHeat37]

Omg Splitter, smh..

[DapDaGenius]

fuckin lame

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Man why doesn't splitter just lean in, Matthews can't do anything wtf

[Rito3d30]

it's not about Mathews's strength
it's about Tiago softy shit

[Captivus]

stop jumping on fakes

[PlayNando]

danny green is scared

[r0drig0lac]

tim 2003?

[Robz4000]

Tim looks great tbh

[DapDaGenius]

Batum looks like Tony Parker and Jeff Ayres had a baby.

[$pursDynasty]

it's not about Mathews's strength
it's about Tiago softy shit

+1 which is why I think Tiago needs to work on a sky hook because he will NEVER be a take it hard to the hole type.

[HarlemHeat37]

Aldridge is a soft, overrated pussy against most of the league, but becomes a fucking franchise HOFer against the Spurs, tbh..

[Splits]

Are the Aggies the most overrated CFB team in America with a #12 ranking with 2 losses having beaten nobody? Oops, wrong thread.

[BanditHiro]

fuck Aldrige.

[PlayNando]

TP FTs............

[r0drig0lac]

Are the Aggies the most overrated CFB team in America with a #12 ranking with 2 losses having beaten nobody? Oops, wrong thread.

[PlayNando]

JESUS TONY WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING????

[PlayNando]

oh nevermind

MARCO!!!!

[PlayNando]

baynes coming in

[DapDaGenius]

King Mo' about to kick our asses

[HarlemHeat37]

No success attacking against a front court of Robin Lopez and Aldridge:lol..

[Rito3d30]

Baynes is in for setting some hard picks

[DapDaGenius]

Of fuckin' boy...pfBaynes

[Libri]

Bonner is not coming in :downspin:

[DatBoyGood]

Well this isnt good.

[PlayNando]

mo williams bout to pwn us smh

[Rito3d30]

fucking MO.....as usual

[Plum Island]

Are the Aggies the most overrated CFB team in America with a #12 ranking with 2 losses having beaten nobody? Oops, wrong thread.


Lol... nice.

Good timing and placement.

I laughed loudly at that.

[loveforthegame]

Not surprising but disappointing start.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

There we go Baynes

[r0drig0lac]

baynsssssss

[Rito3d30]

Crush them Baynes

[DatBoyGood]

Im lovin this new Diaw

[Juggity]

Diaw looking aggressive

[r0drig0lac]

diaw 2.0 is excelent

[SPIDER2311]

baynes can hustle

[Captivus]

We need Green making 3s

[TXstbobcat]

I like Diaw's aggressiveness so far this season.

[$pursDynasty]

yea no more raggin on Boris I have loved his play this year so far

[PlayNando]

i told you boris would be great french power

[BillMc]

Boris looking good this season

[DatBoyGood]

Patty rockin the arm sleeve

[mystargtr34]

Tony and Pop need to do a better job of establishing Kawhi early in the game. Get him 4 or 5 touches in the first 6 minutes.

[PlayNando]

there are no americans on the floor for the spurs right now :lol

[r0drig0lac]

lol...refs in the job

[GB20]

Tony and Pop need to do a better job of establishing Kawhi early in the game. Get him 4 or 5 touches in the first 6 minutes.
i agree

[Rito3d30]

take it like a man

[Captivus]

the announcers suck, homers as fuck

[Juggity]

Baynes took the shit out of that charge. Damn.

[r0drig0lac]

double foul?

[Captivus]

Double Foul!! GIVE ME A BREAK!!

[r0drig0lac]

PNR defense this very good until the moment

[PlayNando]

this lineup sucks patty is not a pg wtf pop

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol refs dominating against the Spurs, tbh..

[GB20]

mill!!!

[Rito3d30]

Mills

[GB20]

manu!!

[TXstbobcat]

Manu!!!!!

[DatBoyGood]

Matthews gettin pooped on by old Manu :lol

[PlayNando]

MANU

[r0drig0lac]

manuuuuuuuuuuu

[Rito3d30]

Not a problem for Manu:downspin:

[SPIDER2311]

baynes looks better tonight

[SpurPadre]

Baynes is looking sharp out there so far tonight.

[DapDaGenius]

Best we could hope for. Be prepared for us to get pounded out sooner or later.

[Captivus]

get those cheerleaders on a diet

[$pursDynasty]

Pop better with the substitution rotation tonight, tonight's second unit has point potential better than last night's that was offensively challenged

[Captivus]

get those cheerleaders on a diet

is "put" instead of "get" right?

[GB20]

leonard needs more shots

[PlayNando]

baynes no communication

[TDfan2007]

Manu with a 2013 Manu pass there. Refs are calling everything...

[TDfan2007]

How the fuck does Mo Williams never miss against us. This guy is a scrub 90% of the time...

[BanditHiro]

my god mo williams is such a faggot

[PlayNando]

MARCO!!!!!!!!! 22222222222222222

[TXstbobcat]

Nice shot by Marco

[GB20]

yeah!!

[r0drig0lac]

lol mils

[TDfan2007]

Diaw what a move!!!

[PlayNando]

marco shutting the haters up with that great d play

boris = aggressive french power

[Captivus]

Ok Diaw...that was impressive.

[freetiago]

what a move by Boris

[GB20]

that my boy diaw!!

[DatBoyGood]

Bench Mob

[Brunodf]

Good run

[TXstbobcat]

You can tell its a contract year for Diaw.

[Shaolin-Style]

What's gotten into Diaw that dude going crazy lately

[$pursDynasty]

Man somebody needs to teach Nando how to wave a towel cuz Patty has work to do!!! If Nando would enthusiastically take that job I might like him better.

[Rito3d30]

this Diaw 2.0 is such an upgrade

[TDfan2007]

Diaw is so skilled. If he actually starts consistently using his skill, then it'll take a ton of pressure off of Manu with that bench unit.

[Spurs Brazil]

good move Boris

[Libri]

Diaw looked like a Hall of Famer with that drive.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

I'm really liking the New Diaw!

[Johnny RIngo]

Pop better with the substitution rotation tonight, tonight's second unit has point potential better than last night's that was offensively challenged

Because Jeff Ayres isn't in the lineup.

[$pursDynasty]

Really like what I am seeing out of Peppermint Patty and Boris this season

[GB20]

What's gotten into Diaw that dude going crazy lately
moving to san antonio and last year final fail

[mattj1x]

Bench looking much better offensively than yesterday.

[SpurPadre]

marco shutting the haters up with that great d play

boris = aggressive french power

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said many times that his D is underrated.

[DapDaGenius]

Willing to bet that 70% of SpursTalk wants Marco gone already.

[GB20]

man!! some many fouls

[Blizzardwizard]

These Portland refs :lol

[$pursDynasty]

OK I was a Neal with it Guy, but I must admit I like Marco's game, I like a Spur that takes it to the hole. We need a slasher just wish he was hitting more of his shots.

[PlayNando]

nice job pop no ball handlers on the floor wtf dude

[Southwest Texas Fan]

What's up with all the fouls?

[TDfan2007]

Danny Green is just so bad at everything offensively outside of shooting. It's ridiculous. He even struggles with simple post entry passes.

[Juggity]

Competitive game. Fouls are getting tiresome, but still keeping things close.

[TXstbobcat]

Diaw in beast mode!

[BanditHiro]

holy shit Splitter got away with Verticallity

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Boris playing with fire.

[KaiRMD1]

Boris is a beast!

[PlayNando]

jesus kawhi just got pwned holy shat

[$pursDynasty]

Peppermint!!!

[TXstbobcat]

Offensive foul! Nice

[DatBoyGood]

Mills and Diaw look and play determined

[DapDaGenius]

GENERAL MILLS!!

[Captivus]

we need 3s to open space.

[Obstructed_View]

Last guy I saw in a Spurs uni take a charge like that was wearing number 50.

[SPIDER2311]

pat stacks. super quick

[TDfan2007]

Kawhi just needs to more used to being aggressive. His moves are a half step slow right now because he's hesitating slightly.

[KaiRMD1]

Great job by Mills, the ol' sport played it smart there

[TDfan2007]

That was one hell of a defensive play by Patty.

[benfti]

im kind of curious to see what a few minutes of Tony and Patty could yeild

[capek]

That was a pretty great play!

[GB20]

mills looking to secure the back up point guard position

[PlayNando]

im kind of curious to see what a few minutes of Tony and Patty could yeild
awful defense

[PlayNando]

why is pop giving tony so much rest?

[Rito3d30]

9mil for this shit

[GB20]

tiago is so fucking soft

[DatBoyGood]

Tiago needs to get nasty

[Captivus]

Tiago need to practice standing dunks with a bowling ball.

[Juggity]

Batum tried to Kobe that 3.

[PlayNando]

wow kawhi missed a wide OPEN mills

[TXstbobcat]

Can we get Tony back in now?

[TXstbobcat]

Tim!!!!!!

[TDfan2007]

Timmy looks great tonight.

[Obstructed_View]

Is it puzzling to anyone else why the Blazers are getting calls when they have the ball but they can ride the Spurs dribblers around with one or two hands with impunity?

[PlayNando]

jesus kawh ihas gotten blocked twice he looks bad so far

[BanditHiro]

Green can't hit anything

[$pursDynasty]

If any of you guys played Mortal Kombat back in the day, do you remember when Shang Tsung would steal your soul for a fatality? It seems to me that ever since the Heat clamped down on Danny Green in the Finals, he hasn't been the same. I mean he seems a shell of himself. I am not expecting white hot Danny from early in the finals but he isn't even Danny of last year regular season...yet

[Libri]

Green is so bad

[TDfan2007]

Danny Green sucks tonight.

[$pursDynasty]

I don't know if it is a shaken confidence thing but I was wanting him to come back mad and determined but he is looking more broken

[TXstbobcat]

Tim keeping the spurs in it with 10

[Kool Bob Love]

Danny with the block.

[TDfan2007]

Kawhi needs to step up tonight.

[Libri]

Kawhi looks like he has no lift on his shot :/

[BanditHiro]

Spurs need this lost...they haven't looked good all season.

[KaiRMD1]

offense is too stagnant, Pop is going to chew into these boys at half time

[DatBoyGood]

He landed hard

[r0drig0lac]

began, now the scrubs hit the jumps challenged from everywhere

[PlayNando]

kawhi: 2 pts (1-5 FG), 1 reb, 1 ast

bad tonight

[TDfan2007]

We're getting so many great looks and missing just about all of them. On the other end the Blazers are hitting crazy off-balance looks. Just another night at the Rose Garden...

[SpurPadre]

Bad first half for Kawhi

[Johnny RIngo]

Entire starting lineup looks terrible except TD

[$pursDynasty]

is it just a function of the Spurs defense but it often seems that team are constantly driving into the lane on the Spurs?

[benstanfield]

Kawhi just isn't very good at finding team mates when they're open. Great defender, not a great passer yet.

[PlayNando]

Tp 1-5 fg 3 Pts bad night too for him tbgh

kawhi has no court vision per par tbh

[TXstbobcat]

Duncan and Diaw stepping up tonight. Need others to hit some shots.

[TXstbobcat]

Parker is ice cold

[PlayNando]

TP hero ball had wide open boris but heroded it

[$pursDynasty]

I must admit I am loving Pop's substitution pattern tonight less Bonner less Pendergraph

[PlayNando]

wtf lilliard fluke shot smh

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

There you go Leonard

[Kool Bob Love]

I must admit I am loving Pop's substitution pattern tonight less Bonner less Pendergraph

Down 11.

PlayBonner PlayAyres

[r0drig0lac]

portland in okc 2012 WCF mode

[SpurPadre]

fuck now Sideshow Bob is heating up for them

[$pursDynasty]

Spurs look lethargic except TD who had last night off

[PlayNando]

I must admit I am loving Pop's substitution pattern tonight less Bonner less Pendergraph
You like losing by double-digits to a lottery team tbh?

[Blizzardwizard]

Summary of the game so far:
Foul foul foul foul foul foul Danny Green brick foul foul foul Lillard fluke shot foul foul repeat.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck lillard.

[Obstructed_View]

Someone should tell Timmy who he's supposed to be guarding.

[PlayNando]

holy shit timmy air ball embarrassing

[BatManu20]

Lol Duncan wtf

[KaiRMD1]

SMH

[Brunodf]

:bang That D
