Pelicans at Spurs Game Thread

[Darth_Pelican]

These 2 Western Conference powerhouses meet on the hardwood tonight in SA.

Do not be fooled by the Pelicans 6-6 record. They were without Ryan Anderson for the first 9 games this season (3-6), but since he has returned, the Pelicans have been an absolute juggernaut, going 3-0 and winning by an average margin of victory of 16 points per game. Anderson is averaging 19.3 ppg and is shooting a scorching 57.1% from the field and an unheard of 61.9% from 3 pt range :wow Those are the kinds of numbers that probably have his gf looking down from the heavens and regretting committing suicide.

Tonight's game is going to be a war. It won't be easy for the Pelicans to leave with the W, especially with Monty Williams at the helm, but I am feeling like the Pelicans are going to pull it out, with perinnial All Star Anthony Davis making a late defensive play to seal it.

Pelicans 96
Spurs 94

Spurs got this one if Duncan starts to care a bit tbh but I could see Spurs letting Anderson score a career high tbh

[jeebus]

If the Spurs coast, Spurs 114 Pelicans 88

If the Spurs come out to play, Spurs 128 Pelicans 70

If Pop rests the entire team and bring in the Toros, Spurs 100 Pelicans 92

If the Spurs organization decides to forfeit the game, Spurs 96 Pelicans 90

[hater]

Pelicans by 18

[tlongII]

I think the Pelicans will win this one.

[Darth_Pelican]

If the Pelicans win then I think it's about time that Kori or timvp updates the site to include the Pelicans team name and logo.

[I. Hustle]

I'll pick the Pelicans to win by -13.

[Mugen]

the fact that this thread wasn't started by "Darth_Pelican" is a gotdamn shame tbh.

[jeebus]

The Governor killed the Mexican :(
Cleaning house tbh. All the old characters are getting killed off. I don't expect the governor to live past next ep as well, unless the writers/producers want to string this shit out longer. tbh.

son you gonna come to the game and buy a whole row of seats for $5, then afterwards visit the fine establishments outside the arena?

[BRHornet45]

son you gonna come to the game and buy a whole row of seats for $5, then afterwards visit the fine establishments outside the arena?

Son I would love to but my passport is expired. Gotta get it renewed and that takes a little time.

It's crazy how everything is cheaper down there in Mexico.

[Jacob1983]

Possible WCF matchup tonight. I think the Pelicans have a chance.

[DPG21920]

This should be a good game. Despite piss poor coaching, I really do enjoy watching the Pelicans play. They are exciting, young and pretty damn talented. They still ISO wayyyyyy to much (symptom of their flawed roster on top of poor coaching) but they are really exciting.

[tlongII]

Are the Spurs fans complaining about the officiating yet?

[benefactor]

Should be good indeed. The Spurs have feasted on bad teams and need a bit of a wake up call. The Spurs fall behind early and have to focus defensively late to get it but they pull away in the second half of the 4th quarter.

[jeebus]

in all honesty, if you look at the standings, there aren't that many good teams. :( it doesn't help that the spurms went through a eastern conference schedule and beating them is easier than throwing puppies off a cliff imo.

[RD2191]

:lmao

Giveth/taketh tbh.

[GB20]

[ElNono]

need some Patty right now

[Darth_Pelican]

Nice 1st quarter. The difference was the four 3 pointers. If Spurs keep shooting like that from the outside, Pelicans will have a hard time winning

[benefactor]

Welp. played well, barely lead
Six turnovers tbh.

[ohmwrecker]

He plays for whatever team the Spurs are playing against . . .Amirite?!

Patty harassing Rivers should be funny.

[jeebus]

Die Austin Rivers

[Darth_Pelican]

Patty harassing Rivers should be funny.

Brian Roberts was playing well as backup PG, and then Monty inexplicably changes the rotation and puts Rivers ahead of him

[benefactor]

Ponytail douche sighting

[jeebus]

Patty was wide open. wtf.

[ohmwrecker]

Bonner!

[benefactor]

Bonner time. There goes the lead.

[GB20]

this pelicans team are going to be good for many years

[jeebus]

jesus fucking get the rebound

[ElNono]

damn, that would've been a nice 3

[ElNono]

defense been great, IMO

[Darth_Pelican]

I'm liking the hustle and the offensive rebounds I'm seeing from the Pelicans. The open shots just need to start going in.

[benefactor]

:lol the coyote trolling the Pels sideline girl

[ElNono]

Manu! Patty!

[jeebus]

My nigga patty

[DPG21920]

Patty bullying dudes.

[benefactor]

Outstanding defense so far

[DPG21920]

Manu is looking fantastic. He is ultra damn productive lately. He looks great despite limited minutes. Hes putting up very good per minute stats.

[benefactor]

:wow Beli block

[ElNono]

:wow Belli

[jeebus]

oh mama :cry

[DPG21920]

[DPG21920]

Tiago is playing like I dreamed he would. He's badass right now :tu

[jeebus]

fuckin green fkn wanker

[benefactor]

:lol Danny

[ElNono]

if we clean up the TOs, this can be a 20pt game by halftime

[jeebus]

Tiago playing like $9 million per year

[ElNono]

:lol Quinoa veggie burgers

[DPG21920]

My dude Tiago. What a bench this is. Manu looks great, but if Boris/Patty can continue this, look out. Beli looks really solid too, but even without him the bench looks good.

[Trainwreck2100]

when bonner styles on you, that should be an auto forfeit

[ElNono]

My dude Tiago. What a bench this is. Manu looks great, but if Boris/Patty can continue this, look out. Beli looks really solid too, but even without him the bench looks good.

Tammy needs to play closer to the basket, get up more of those high percentage shots. good way to get your confidence back up

[benefactor]

Pels looking overmatched.

[Brazil]

Tiago back on the bench no limping

[ElNono]

damn ponytail still a douche

Hopefully Tiago is not only ok, but keeps up his level of aggression.

he was back on the bench there. probably just got his ankle taped up again.

[jeebus]

NostradamusNoNo
ElNostradamusNostradamus

Wow, TP/Duncan, are you serious?

Coasting tbh

[GB20]

Tammy needs to play closer to the basket, get up more of those high percentage shots. good way to get your confidence back up
he is saving that for the playoff

[Brazil]

Could be worst for the pelicans

[ElNono]

NostradamusNoNo

Nonostradamus, tbh

[ElNono]

crazy how since Phoenix, home games have not been close at all...

[Robz4000]

Yeah, dem dirty birds are still in this game. That athleticism of theirs is legit.

[DPG21920]

Tim looks awful. Not only the shot, but making some bad decisions. His demeanor say coasting, but his jumper/ft says broken. His shot is the worst I have ever seen it.

[ElNono]

Hugo is not amused

[ElNono]

his defense is solid though

[Splits]

Like this Whorenets squad. Always been a Ryanho fan, Davis is a franchize guy. Paying Tyreke was a mistake though, tbh

[Brazil]

Tim looks awful. Not only the shot, but making some bad decisions. His demeanor say coasting, but his jumper/ft says broken. His shot is the worst I have ever seen it.

I don't buy the coasting stuff, he is not right at the moment. I also don't buy but his def is good, his def is pedestrian at best

[LittleCriminal]

Splitter is back and ready for the 2nd half..

[Darth_Pelican]

too many missed layups and defensive breakdowns for the Pelicans. I'm disappointed tbh. They were playing well in their past 3 games.

[jeebus]

oh fuck. Penderfag is in. Kill me

[ElNono]

too many missed layups and defensive breakdowns for the Pelicans. I'm disappointed tbh. They were playing well in their past 3 games.

I don't think they're playing bad... our defense been really good lately

[Darth_Pelican]

and another missed layup, unreal

[jeebus]

oh don't dump it to Pfag

[ElNono]

Kawhi scissorhands

[Darth_Pelican]

Pelicans have Warriors at home tomorrow night. I expect to see the players at the end of the bench if they don't make a run this quarter.

[ElNono]

if Danny starts hitting, this could get ugly quick

[jeebus]

hope the bench can stretch this to 40 and we can rest, tbh

[hater]

OKC by 28 tbh

[jeebus]

hope the bench can stretch this to 40 and we can rest, tbh
It's gonna be tough playing 4 against 5 imo. Once Diaw comes in to play with Tammy, we should hit 40.

[Brazil]

Gonna sleep I think this one is on the bag... I'm coasting a bit too this year.

nite faggots

[Splits]

Man I'd hate to try to coach against the Spurs in November. It's like no matter who they plugin shit moves like a pendulum. Make it look so easy, especially this far in '13

[DMC]

Penderfag

At least Tony is trying to get Tim going.

[Darth_Pelican]

hope the bench can stretch this to 40 and we can rest, tbh

I would rather that than to keep it around 15 just to lose anyway and then be tired for GS tomorrow night

[jeebus]

just about that time to empty the benches

[ElNono]

keep em under 90 now

[ElNono]

CoJo sucks tbh... can't believe he was the backup PG in the playoffs

[Splits]

Mills has shown incredible growth from last season, both ends. Curious if Pop is just going through one of his phases or if Patty might actually see meaningful PO minutes when the chips are down. I fully expect any close series he defaults to the 6 man rotation with Manu starting and Belli off the bench.

[benefactor]

Monty going to get Davis hurt playing meaningless minutes.

[jeebus]

CoJo sucks tbh... can't believe he was the backup PG in the playoffs
Yeah I don't know. Patty was pretty good last year, just a little out of control. Though, Cojo was pretty decent on defense and held his own against bigger players.

[ElNono]

what's Anthony Davis doing still out there?

[jeebus]

My nigga Bane needs to get in

[Darth_Pelican]

gg Spurfans

You guys are obviously the better team but the Pelicans are better than they showed tonight. Just one of those nights that a young team is going to have from time to time on the road.

[Darth_Pelican]

what's Anthony Davis doing still out there?

Our coach is a brain tumor

It's the best team that we've had since CP3 left tbh. I know that's not saying much, but I think that with a good coach, this team could compete for a 7-8 seed. Monty needs to go.

[Pelicans78]

I agree with that, but I also think Jrue isn't very good and Gordon doesn't have much explosion left. This team goes as far as Davis, Anderson, and Tyreke takes them.
