Westbrook is so over the top ignorant, if he wasn't given freak athletic ability he'd prob be eating a steady diet of government cheese, living, in a van down by the river.

No. Keep the streak alive, but don't let it get to your head. ALWAY play your best.

Some BULLSHIT officiating.

Stupid fucking officials.

Haha Davis just got owned by Timmy!

[Cry Havoc]

DUNCAN AND ONE OVER DAVIS

[PingPong]

Tiago must have watched a lot of porn this summer, because dude has learned how to finish.

Is the Timmy slump or Diaw's agressiveness that made Tiao Wake up?

[Darius McCrary]

I love it!! Timmy taking it to the ugly kid

[Arcadian]

Tim schooling Davis

[Juggity]

davis is still a hell of a defender

[Cry Havoc]

Is the Timmy slump or Diaw's agressiveness that made Tiao Wake up?

Hopefully neither and Tiago just traded in his ovaries for some real huevos.

[Cry Havoc]

davis is still a hell of a defender

He's the NGB. Next Great Big.

[Captivus]

I want Davis! Spurs need to get this guy, whatever it takes.

[Splits]

Davis got sum good low post D fundamentals. Splitt and Duncan are crafty and scoring on him, but he doesn't bite on the pump fakes and has good timing. Reminds me of TD, tbh

[313]

strong stream lag

[Cry Havoc]

Fuck yeah, new computer chair is here.

[313]

vintage manu pass

[DPG21920]

Tim - please stop looking awful.

Manu is dragging. Is it just me or does Manu play really well when Marco is on the court?

[Juggity]

best sequence manu has played in at least a year

[Captivus]

I can't even be mad at Ginobli for that pass

[KL2]

& Manus back to his old self

[Uriel]

Manu giveth, Manu taketh away.

[RD2191]

gotta pick up the defense

[DapDaGenius]

Good offensively, but clean up the defensive.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

6 turnovers already, gotta clean that up

[timtonymanu]

Wow only up 3 after all that. Spurs gotta pick it up.

Bonner coming in for pg duties? :lol

[RD2191]

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Good effort, both teams are too tired to make shots though lol

Bonner dropped the ball on a beautiful display of ball movement.

[Juggity]

this unit is dominant

[Obstructed_View]

Best center in the league with 10 points and 7 rebounds.

[SpursRock20]

I don't care what anyone says, Belinelli fits in so much better than Neal did. This is coming from a Neal supporter too.

[RD2191]

Best center in the league with 10 points and 7 rebounds.
:lol

[313]

Best team in the NBA srs

Diaw 2.0
Splitter 2.0
Manu+Marco
Patty emergence

I can't wait to see how well we perform against the top dawgs like MIA, OKC etc

[bklynspursfan]

Splitter has shown some glimpses of aggressiveness so far this season. Good stuff... We need him to do that on both ends

[Budkin]

I don't care what anyone says, Belinelli fits in so much better than Neal did. This is coming from Neal supporter too.

Might just put us over the top this year.

[bklynspursfan]

Interesting no Ayres tonight. Which is cool, Splitter has looked well.

[Juggity]

I don't care what anyone says, Belinelli fits in so much better than Neal did. This is coming from Neal supporter too.

As much as I love what Neal brought to the table, I think I have to agree.

Having a great passer and shooter on the bench is a valuable luxury.

[RD2191]

fuhhhhhhhcccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

An ankle tweak? Damn.

[RD2191]

tank for wiggins

[SpursRock20]

We are just being overly cautious (hopefully).

Aaaaaaand no sooner do I say it. Call me amused.

[DapDaGenius]

Nice job, Tony. We were hunting that ball down. LOL

[313]

HOW ABOUT THIS DEFENSE?

[Obstructed_View]

They screwed Tiago out of a rebound. Must be a home game.

[SpursRock20]

Spurs are so fun to watch right now

[Darius McCrary]

Tiago has a great 11 games then this

LOL you can seriously predict this stuff.

[Uriel]

Man, how I wish the playoffs started today. I'm pretty confident we'd win it all. :downspin:

Better 2nd quarter for the Spurs.

You gotta think there something special about this team when we're up 17 and kind of annoyed because we *could* be up 30. At halftime.

Danny Green scoreless in first half, but has three steals and two blocks. I think Pop will take it.

[Arcadian]

:lol another blowout

Come on, NBA. You can do better than this.

[Libri]

No love for Manu?

We'll get a good game on Wednesday, that's for sure.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

You gotta think there something special about this team when we're up 17 and kind of annoyed because we *could* be up 30. At halftime.

Indeed.

Every year we are better prepared than other teams to start the season, and every year we start strong, yet people are still surprised by it.

My 16-4 or better prediction to start the season is looking pretty good. :D

[RD2191]

:lmao

[DPG21920]

Spurs are winning largely due to the bench and that has me concerned. Not so much for the short term, but long term. Duncan still looks completely broken offensively and it is going to hurt the Spurs. When you combine that with an offensively slumping Green and Kawhi who is not doing as much offensively as many would have hoped, it's concerning despite the record.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Didn't watch the game. What's this about Pop resting Tiago for a month? Did he get injured? I presume it's minor given the sarcasm, but still.

[DMC]

Spurs already getting disinterested in playing with this ball of yarn.

[Brunodf]

Didn't watch the game. What's this about Pop resting Tiago for a month? Did he get injured? I presume it's minor given the sarcasm, but still.
Stepped on Davis foot

[SpursRock20]

Didn't watch the game. What's this about Pop resting Tiago for a month? Did he get injured? I presume it's minor given the sarcasm, but still.

Turned his ankle, yet walked off the court without any limp. He should be okay.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Didn't watch the game. What's this about Pop resting Tiago for a month? Did he get injured? I presume it's minor given the sarcasm, but still.
Tiago stepped on Davis' foot, his ankle rolled a bit. He walked to the locker room himself and it looks like he's walking about fine right now.

[Cry Havoc]

Didn't watch the game. What's this about Pop resting Tiago for a month? Did he get injured? I presume it's minor given the sarcasm, but still.

Rolled his ankle when Davis posted up against him. He's fine, should play in the 2nd half.

Eh. I'm not worried about Green or Leonard at all. Who cares if they are slumping in November, they will come around. Not too worried about Duncan either. His issues seem to be more mental than anything mechanical. Obviously, the most important thing right now is for the Spurs to rack up wins and stay healthy at this point in the season. We're okay.

[timtonymanu]

Stepped on Davis' foot cause I'm sure I'm the first to tell you.

Tiago is back out there warming up.

I dont see how you can say Tim's issues are mental when he physically looks off. His legs look gone on his jumpers, his shot is wayward and he's not rebounding nor dunking anywhere close to his normal rate. That is physical, not mental.

[jkid12456]

rest tony parker srsly and let aptty play, need all the rest for okc

[TXstbobcat]

Tiago is back out there warming up.


Great news!!!

[Cry Havoc]

I dont see how you can say Tim's issues are mental when he physically looks off. His legs look gone on his jumpers, his shot is wayward and he's not rebounding nor dunking anywhere close to his normal rate. That is physical, not mental.

He's moving well on defense and off the ball IMO.

That is physical, not mental.I'm still thinking it's the elbow from the opener. he had 24 points prior to that

I say mental because it seems that he isn't "trying" for lack of a better word. He hardly plays and when he does, he seems more nonchalant than in years past. Maybe this is because he isn't able to, but I just see him holding back.

[DPG21920]

He's moving well on defense and off the ball IMO.

Eh - he's ok if he's not moving, but his PnR defense is just average. Maybe I am not giving enough credence to the chest injury - but I hope it's not that.

[RD2191]

bailout call:lol

[TDfan2007]

Is it just me, or are we getting the benefit of the whistle tonight?

[Splits]

Bad call against Davis. Kiwi pressing

[313]

KAwhi obviously frustrated

[DapDaGenius]

Davis is getting mad b/c he knows if they lose he won't get a celebratory spanking.

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!

[313]

Is it just me, or are we getting the benefit of the whistle tonight?Most of the calls have been legit. I think there were some missed ones for the Pelis

[SpursRock20]

This is becoming Leonard's signature!

[DapDaGenius]

The Kawhi-light. Nice. People getting creative.

[GB20]

Davis is getting mad b/c he knows if they lose he won't get a celebratory spanking.

[Cry Havoc]

Eh - he's ok if he's not moving, but his PnR defense is just average. Maybe I am not giving enough credence to the chest injury - but I hope it's not that.

To be fair, Tim's PnR D has never been his best trait.
