[RD2191]

I think this will be a close game. Celts got blown out last night and they're going to come out strong. Spurs are usually rusty after a long lay off so hopefully we can keep pace in the 1st quarter.

[EVAY]

Since everyone in the Western world knows that the Spurs historically start slow after a layoff period, it will be interesting to see if they light it up in the first quarter. It will be Tony doing the pushing if they do. They can definitely beat Boston and I'm assuming that they will...eventually.

[McGusto55]

Damm Ace that cheerleader is Fine...wats her name?

[bklynspursfan]

I think Duncan gets a double double tonight. 4 days rest, and an opponent coming off a b2b, should be the perfect game for him to find his rhythm

[Mikeanaro]

Im glad there is a game tonight, the last 3 days seemed like offseason to me

[Brunodf]

It's a trap

[SpurSwag]

Might come out sluggish but quite simply were the better team. Should be fun

Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
(http://twitter.com/JMcDonald_SAEN)For those of you charting such things, Brad Stevens says Cs will start Kelly Olynyk and Jared Sullinger in the frontcourt vs. Spurs tonight.

[timtonymanu]

Yeah don't be surprised if the Spurs suck to start the game. They always come out rusty after a break.

Hoping Duncan has a good game though to get himself going.

[ace3g]

^ if that's true, good test to show strength of our bench

Wow, they're probably going to be #2 all time after this season.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!

[ace3g]

Timmy!!! slam duncan

[Captivus]

Wow, they're probably going to be #2 all time after this season.

Probably, chance at #1 is slim.
Number 2 would be amazing, taking into account the "era differential".

[Cry Havoc]

DUNCAN WITH A BANG TO START

[ace3g]

offense tonight: high low

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy again!!!

[Cry Havoc]

Probably, chance at #1 is slim.
Number 2 would be amazing, taking into account the "era differential".

Assuming no one retires, they'll get #1 next year.

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan smoking to start!

[GB20]

who said timmy was done?:lmao

[Marrow]

Wow, they're probably going to be #2 all time after this season.

and probably no.1 when it's all said and done...amazing accomplishment

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!

[Cry Havoc]

Tony with the flop. :lol

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!

[LakerHater]

Nice move!

[Cry Havoc]

The C's announcer just said our offense isn't explosive. Ha. Ha ha.

[LakerHater]

The C's announcer just said our offense isn't explosive. Ha. Ha ha.
Whos, PJ?

[LakerHater]

Whoa!!

[PlayNando]

lmao bradley = scrub

[jkid12456]

[Captivus]

jumpers and jumpers.
Eventually they will stop falling...is they keep falling...then...well played.

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!

[LakerHater]

Tony w the jumper

[Cry Havoc]

Slow start... check

[Captivus]

Assuming no one retires, they'll get #1 next year.

You are right. My math was wrong...

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!

[Hoops Czar]

The C's announcer just said our offense isn't explosive. Ha. Ha ha.
They'd be right.

[LakerHater]

Wayta clean up Timmy!

[$pursDynasty]

does Timmy have a black eye?

[TXstbobcat]

Diaw with the jumper

[$pursDynasty]

Boris "pay tha man" Diaw, man he is working for that new contract

[Cry Havoc]

Why is Belli on Green? Mismaaaaatch.

[LakerHater]

does Timmy have a black eye?

From
Derrick Favors

[LakerHater]

Killer Block out!

[TXstbobcat]

Easy one for Borris lol

[BatManu20]

Nice look Tony

[LakerHater]

BoBo!!

[Cry Havoc]

Celtics announcers bitching about Diaw camping the lane... on a fast break. lol

[$pursDynasty]

Easy one for Borris lol
Boris just makes it look easy, it's a French thang, lol

[Captivus]

Belli...smh

[Robz4000]

Boston shooting the shit out of the ball tbh.

[Hoops Czar]

Apparently, the Spurs aren't going to play a lick of defense.

[BatManu20]

The Celtics are scrappy. They utilize their talent well. Brad Stevens was a great hire for them imo.

[Uriel]

I'm actually surprised now when Diaw doesn't shoot.

[TXstbobcat]

Marco!!!

[jeebus]

Airs is basically Bonner, but he can't shoot. Fucking useless.

[RD2191]

I think this will be a close game. Celts got blown out last night and they're going to come out strong. Spurs are usually rusty after a long lay off so hopefully we can keep pace in the 1st quarter.

:wakeup

[TXstbobcat]

[ElNono]

Boris the manimal

[PlayNando]

Boris must have learned the craft of hero ball from Tony, tbh. :lol

[Captivus]

Hakeem playing great.

[SA210]

Diaw bringing it lol

[Dex]

Diaw right now is pretty much being the player everybody wanted when we signed him.

If he goes back to being Diaw 1.0, I'm going to be pissed. :pctoss

[TXstbobcat]

Marco!!

[Dex]

Leonard is a clumsy dribbler.

[BatManu20]

Why is Ayers shooting...

[Dex]

Well....at least Ayres jumper hit rim that time?

[TXstbobcat]

Marco333

[Dex]

Beli warming up.

[ace3g]

Brazil vs Brazil time

[GB20]

i don't think we are going to see baynes at all this year

[Captivus]

Butchering Faverani's name.

[PingPong]

Brazil vs Brazil time

Gaucho (Faverani) vs Green Belly (Splitter)

Two states with some historical rivalry, lol

[DapDaGenius]

Duncan sucks so bad.

[LakerHater]

Tim 3/10

[TXstbobcat]

Tony getting Bradley in foul trouble

[BatManu20]

Good, good... foul Bradley out of the game.

[BatManu20]

There you go Kawhi

[PingPong]

Sullinger with 10 rebounds already? Is that right?

[Captivus]

Wheres Green?

[Captivus]

Nets about to lose to the Bobcats

[BatManu20]

Kawhi's body language :td

[LakerHater]

Larry Bird?

[Staplepuffs27]

Do these Boston announcers get any enjoyment out of life? So grumpy and not as fun as our guys.

[313]

Larry Bird?Who?

[LakerHater]

MANUUUUU!!

[TXstbobcat]

Manu333!!

[BatManu20]

Manuuuuu

[DapDaGenius]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOo

[LakerHater]

Who?

Spurs trivia on my stream!

[ace3g]

7 point run

[LakerHater]

TIAGO!!!

[SA210]

lol Parker passed to Manu?

[LakerHater]

Sloppy poss!!

[BatManu20]

Damn that 3 by Kawhi would've been perfect. Shitty last possession instead

[DapDaGenius]

Aaaaaaaaand it's gone

[HI-FI]

nice heroball there from TP

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Manu had a PER of about 1000 during that 15 second stretch

[Kool Bob Love]

Hero Ball Parker.:rolleyes

[DatBoyGood]

Yikes. Hill with the no clutch gene

[mclinejr]

I don't know if we can chock Duncan's game up to just "coasting" anymore. He is seriously off.

[Mikeanaro]

East sucks, Mami will be on top in no time

[BatManu20]

George Hill just bricked 2 straight wide-open 3's that would've given them the lead against the Knicks. Pacers were down by 1. Now down by 3 with 9.2 sec left.

[BatManu20]

Pacers are nice story, but they're not beating Miami in the playoffs. I don't see any scenario where the Heat don't 3peat this year tbh.

[Captivus]

Foul on Paul George...3 FTs

[moisaenz]

specially when duncan is playing like that.

[mclinejr]

Pacers are nice story, but they're not beating Miami in the playoffs. I don't see any scenario where the Heat don't 3peat this year tbh.

Time will tell, tbh.

[Staplepuffs27]

I don't know if we can chock Duncan's game up to just "coasting" anymore. He is seriously off.cut him?

[Captivus]

5 secs for the Knicks...lets see...

[Mikeanaro]

Too soon to say Mami will win it all again, Labrona could break her ass this season, every year in the playoffs Labrona has a 7 game series and sometimes loose even with officials help.
The sad thing is they dont have competition the east is an amateur conference at this point, look at brooklyn, fuck garnett and his stupid mouth.

[moisaenz]

any trade duncan threads yet??

[BatManu20]

Great D by Paul George there

[EVAY]

Ed Malloy never fails to irritate me when he calls a game. His calls are positively inane.

[tim_duncan_fan]

I just don't get Duncan's deal. What part of getting old makes you throw up weak, bitch-ass, lazy, rushed and soft shots?

[EVAY]

Sullinger is making Duncan look pretty off tonight.

[PingPong]

Red Mamba...

[jeebus]

hopefully that means no Penderfag.

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!

[EVAY]

Nicely done, Kawhi!!

[Budkin]

Pacers are nice story, but they're not beating Miami in the playoffs. I don't see any scenario where the Heat don't 3peat this year tbh.

I do... 3 peating is hard as shit... the toll that is taken by the time you make it to that 3rd playoff run is immense. Everything has to go right.

[moisaenz]

bonner with great defense

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard taking over!!!!!!!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Thank you Kawhi!

[BatManu20]

Kawhiiiiiii3

[mclinejr]

cut him?

No, tbh.

[DatBoyGood]

Kawhi goin to work

[EVAY]

Somebody sure lit Kawhi's fire.

[ElNono]

Hero Kawhi :tu:tu:tu

[313]

Spurs trivia on my stream!
I thought he lost to Magic in college

[hyhy]

kawhi, kawhi, kawhi, kawhi, kawhi, kawhi!

Whole 2nd half, 1 man show!

[apalisoc_9]

kawhi going hero ball

[ace3g]

Green went Hulk there

[LakerHater]

WHOAAA!!

[BatManu20]

Scrub Bonner, welcome back

[BatManu20]

Timmy's shiner is solid

[EVAY]

Timmy got fouled on that last miss.

[LakerHater]

T???

[EVAY]

Spurs are letting Boston hang around. Not good. I still think we will win out...but they are making it ugly.

[timtonymanu]

Celtics, go away!!

[moisaenz]

5 meaningless minutes from bonner..

[tim_duncan_fan]

Damnit Tim, quit crying and actually try to make your shots.

[scanry]

Tim is missing bunnies tbh. He doesn't look very comfortable out there.

Diaw ought to get in there.

[Brazil]

We need to amnesty this Duncan dude he sucks

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!

[TXstbobcat]

We need to amnesty this Duncan dude he sucks

spurs are sending him down to the toros.

[TXstbobcat]

Wow Tony!!!!

[hyhy]

Free throws fest

[EVAY]

Nicely done, Tony!

[EVAY]

Bad possession

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!

[BatManu20]

Bonner hit that

[EVAY]

TP's assists would be a lot better this year if not for Duncan and now Bonner in there.

[Proxy]

Regular season weapon.... unleashed

[TXstbobcat]

Nice steal!!!!!

[TXstbobcat]

Diaw!!!!

[EVAY]

Bradley has picked it up since TP sat down.

[BatManu20]

Manuuuuuu! Followed by an easy put back for Boston

[LakerHater]

Block out!!!

[moisaenz]

5 ast for manu.

[Brunodf]

:bang Bonner getting minutes over Baynes, cost us 8-12 points on D

[DatBoyGood]

Gordon Hayward 1-17 :lol

[Darius McCrary]

Bonner is rotating good, but until that last corner three has missed everything and is letting people blow right by him.

Avery Bradley, wow, has this guy improved his jumper or what? Amazing.

Parker is not as quick or fast as he used to be, but he has such amazing control of everything he does on the court. Wish he had been 100% for the entire finals. Sigh.

Kawhi's explosion int he 3rd was amazing. He did everything.

[ElNono]

Get the italian stallion in there and finish these celtics off

[TE]

:bang Bonner getting minutes over Baynes, cost us 8-12 points on D
I'm not a Bonner fan but his presence allows for perfect spacing which feeds into easy buckets off of rolls to the basket, tbh. It's a wash, imo.

[Kool Bob Love]

Bonner.

[moisaenz]

I'm not a Bonner fan but his presence allows for perfect spacing which feeds into easy buckets off of rolls to the basket, tbh. It's a wash, imo.

lol no I'm not. I've talked a lot of shit about him in the past. Posters here can vouch for me on that tbh

[ElNono]

Bonner killing Boris the beast mojo

[BatManu20]

I swear some of these shots by the Celtics are bullshit

[moisaenz]

lol no I'm not. I've talked a lot of shit about him in the past. Posters here can vouch for me on that tbh
ok you are not.

[scanry]

Why is Bonner even in the game?

[TE]

Why is Bonner even in the game?
tbh this where I'd probably sub him out and put someone else in.

[EVAY]

I'm not a Bonner fan but his presence allows for perfect spacing which feeds into easy buckets off of rolls to the basket, tbh. It's a wash, imo.

Bonner has the spacing down as a function of having been in the system for so many years. That's what Pop calls the 'corporate knowledge', which is of considerable value on the offensive end. Plus you are right that Baynes is never going to be an outside threat, so Bonner is going to be preferable in some of these situations.

[timtonymanu]

Pop doesn't seem impressed by Baynes at all. I remember reporters asked him after the GS game if he saw what he liked from Baynes and he said , "not very much."

[TE]

LOL at Boris trying to go top shelf on that

[TXstbobcat]

Manu has had some great passes tonight

[Brunodf]

Bonner out= instant run

[DAF86]

The bench is just too much fun to watch.

[Darius McCrary]

This offense is humming like it did during our epic win streak in late 2011 season

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Bonner out= instant run
Bonner is +10 for the game though

[Captivus]

Yes Tiago!!!
How manytimes have you miss that shot for not dunking!!! YES!!!!!

[TE]

It's almost impossible to defend the Spurs second offense. Too much spacing, too many shooters IMO.

[TE]

This offense is humming like it did during our epic win streak in late 2011 season
You mean 2012 right?

[LakerHater]

Ricky Williams!

[PingPong]

Pop doesn't seem impressed by Baynes at all. I remember reporters asked him after the GS game if he saw what he liked from Baynes and he said , "not very much."

Baynes should fit better in a team more tolerant with turnovers. And I think the spurs game is a bit complicated for him.

[313]

You mean 2012 right?
he's thinking 2011-2012 i think

[EVAY]

It's almost impossible to defend the Spurs second offense. Too much spacing, too many shooters IMO.

It also helps that they are playing against other teams' second string, which is not as talented as ours.

[LakerHater]

V3RD3!!!

[BatManu20]

Gr33n

[TE]

he's thinking 2011-2012 i think
We sucked going into the playoffs that year, irrc

[BatManu20]

Old man acting like he was seriously injured by the ball lol

[DAF86]

It's almost impossible to defend the Spurs second offense. Too much spacing, too many shooters IMO.

You're forgetting the most important thing, imho. Two World class passers.

[ace3g]

Diaw smooth under the basket

[TXstbobcat]

Diaw!!!!!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Spurs gotta keep it up, the best point differential in the NBA is up for grabs!

[timtonymanu]

Spurs dominating in the 4th, per par

[Staplepuffs27]

Marco "No Fear" Bellinelli

[ElNono]

damn... don't foul and rebound.... wanna keep up under 90

[BatManu20]

Sullinger with 17 boards tonight

[ElNono]

damn pop :lol

[Kool Bob Love]

:lmao

[EVAY]

Tiago with a block!?!

The local paper had a piece in today's sports section that reported that Splitter's defense percentage within ten feet of the basket is better than Duncan's this year.

[TXstbobcat]

Why is Tim back in this blowout?

[Kool Bob Love]

^

[ElNono]

Tim is there to rebound the ball

[LakerHater]

Duncan in for Diaw cuz Coach Pop rest his star players at the end of blow out games!

[Brunodf]

Tim is there to rebound the ball
If Pop had learned that sooner :cry
