[r0drig0lac]

nice fake by baynes

[RD2191]

Ayres looking nervous as shit on the bench:lol

[ElNono]

Manu probably already drearing Pop gonna play Ayres in the 2nd unit :lol

[313]

Liking this Duncan + Baynes combo.

Now we have Duncan/Splitter/Diaw/Baynes

that sounds very formidable

[313]

Manu probably already drearing Pop gonna play Ayres in the 2nd unit :lol
Diaw and splitter still hurt?

[james evans]

the 2nd team that has gotten rid of rudy gay and seemed to have better ball distribution without his gunning. when sacramento part ways with him(and you know it's coming) i wonder who will be dumb enough to sign him..

[313]

Tough shot

[ElNono]

Diaw and splitter still hurt?

Splitter is... I'm expecting Diaw/Ayres from the bench

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!

[ace3g]

Kawhi just showing Pop what Amir can do on defense

[DapDaGenius]

Kawhi was thinking like "I've been blocked worse than that...just this game as a matter of fact". :lol

[ElNono]

[HarlemHeat37]

I bet on the Raptors at +8.5, hopefully the Spurs start coasting a bit and remember it's a meaningless regular season game, tbh:lol..

[ElNono]

[ElNono]

come on Gino... 4 more points

[RD2191]

manu almost got 19 nono:lol

[TXstbobcat]

I'm hoping Tim, tony, and Manu don't have to play in the 4th since I'm going to the bucks game tomorrow and I hope pop doesn't rest them.

[ElNono]

[SpursFan86]

Baynes getting brownie points with Pop with the hustle play.

[Bill_Brasky]

[crc21209]

[KaiRMD1]

Baynes is playing like it's a contract year

[DMC]

Spurs with about a 36pt swing since they were down double digits in the 2nd or whatever.

[NASpurs]

Aussies taking a huge wet sloppy shit on the Raptors

[RD2191]

dont take Manu out, dont take Manu out, dont take Manu out
:lmao

[TXstbobcat]

Marco333

[r0drig0lac]

PG24 is definitely the superstar category ... complete player

[SpursRock20]

Patty!!!

I was also impressed with Belinelli on that play. Way to slow it down. One of the smartest Spurs players on the offensive end.

[RD2191]

geezus baynes is a mad man

[TXstbobcat]

Wow!! Baynes!!

[Timmy4ever]

Baynes

[ace3g]

Matthew R Tynan @Matthew_Tynan
(https://twitter.com/Matthew_Tynan)The Spurs have outscored the Raptors 80-52 since Baynes checked in for the first time tonight.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

20 point cock-block incoming

[ElNono]

damn, I'm fucked... Pop gonna deny him the double-double too :td

[TXstbobcat]

Mr. Ayers, you just lost your spot in the rotation :rollin

[bklynspursfan]

9 assists 1 turnover for Manu.

[Johnny RIngo]

Mr. Ayers, you just lost your spot in the rotation :rollin

Hopefully he tears his other ACL so we never have to see him again

[SpursRock20]

Is there a Church of Baynes yet?

[crc21209]

I know it's been said 1,000 times before already but man...this bench unit is really fun to watch.

[ElNono]

:pctoss

[SpursRock20]

I know it's been said 1,000 times before already but man...this bench unit is really fun to watch.
Agreed. Marco and Ginobili are so fun to watch. Terrific ball movement between those two.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

I hate it when refs who can't even see the fucking play call a foul

[ElNono]

oh well... there's always a game tomorrow

[DMC]

No Bonner in Toronto? What about his legendary defensive performance against Bryant?

[Staplepuffs27]

Is there a Church of Baynes yet?I believe that thread is floating around somewhere...

[KaiRMD1]

If Ayres never sees time on the court for the rest of the season, I will consider it a win

[r0drig0lac]

Hopefully he tears his other ACL so we never have to see him again
lol :nope

[Diego20]

Why SPURS website isn't working correctly? I can't see points/assists of anyone..

[DMC]

That fucking Raptors endzone sign throws me off

[DMC]

Patty Mills has to have the fastest reflexes in the NBA, he's like a fucking cat.

[TXstbobcat]

Green getting some time against the raptor scrubs

[RD2191]

I would like for our bench to show up against non scrub teams, tbh. That would be awesome.

[bklynspursfan]

I really don't understand the Spurs decision on CoJo this past summer/fall

[DMC]

I would like for our bench to show up against non scrub teams, tbh. That would be awesome.

It's amazing how good Euroball can look when there's no defense. Put a hand up and play passing lanes and it all goes to shit.

Something about this looks so unnatural. Dude is just too big and muscular to get off the ground like that. Very impressive.

[RD2191]

tbh

[ace3g]

Bowen at the game!!!

[ace3g]

Nando even making shots

[DapDaGenius]

De Colo just schooled the Tronoto Drakes.

[KaiRMD1]

Ol' fuckin' sport!!!!!

[ElNono]

just dominating... Raptors want Gay back

[TXstbobcat]

Nando in the game. Is playnando going to go apeshit?

[Darius Bieber]

Green is the transition blocked-shot specialist, tbh.

[RD2191]

:lolnando

[DapDaGenius]

Spurs have no flash? Mofo did you already forget that Baynes-Marco-Mills play?

[KaiRMD1]

Ayres is back in.....

[DMC]

just dominating... Raptors want Gay back

They have plenty Gay already.

[Timmy4ever]

i just saw Harlem Globetrotters (http://www.harlemglobetrotters.com/) basketball :downspin:

[007nites]

Need to get Bonner a basket

[mVp]

They have plenty Gay already.

[TXstbobcat]

Ayers :rollin

[widowmaker]

Where be Malcolm Thomas?

[RD2191]

wtf raptors scrubs

[SpursRock20]

As soon as Ayres comes back in, the Raptors take a big chuck out of the lead.

[ace3g]

see that Duncan Lowry handshake :stirpot:

[Mugen]

nice win tbh.

[Mikeanaro]

Good game, impressed with ball movement and everything, excepting Ayres/Pendejograf.

[jeebus]

-18 Ayres :lol
what a useless dipshit.

[DMC]

Bowen, poster child for not knowing when to shut up and leave.

[Sean Cagney]

what a useless dipshit.

LOL he is the new Bonner in here it seems.... From what I have seen this year he is garbage.

[timtonymanu]

Nice to see a win after that horrid start.

Pop may not fully trust Baynes but after this game, I hope he realizes Baynes is a better option than Ayres.

[timtonymanu]

LOL he is the new Bonner in here it seems.... From what I have seen this year he is garbage.

Bonner could at least get people excited in the regular season.

Ayres looks like the worst player the Spurs have had in years

[jeebus]

Bonner hit the three ball during the winter. He was useful in that aspect. Airs' contribution is to rob Holt of his money and put out a bad product.

[Johnny RIngo]

LOL he is the new Bonner in here it seems.... From what I have seen this year he is garbage.

Bonner, at least, was the plus-minus king. One-dimensional, but at least he was good at SOMETHING(spreading the floor with threes). Ayres can't score, rebound, defend, and doesn't seem to have any noticeabe bball IQ. His only notable attribute is his supposed athleticism but even that is questionable - he had a torn ACL in his rookie year. Hell, he missed five dunks in one game this year and has trouble with simple layups. He's D-League quality. Ayres should consider himself lucky that there was a GM dumb enough to give him 2 million per year.

[ace3g]

Interesting to see what the tape around Kawhi's leg was for?

http://d4.yimg.com/sr/img/1/f815cf65-ec02-3fcd-ac41-3d7048e730efmy guess would be patella tendinitis

[lofds]

Did anyone see Manu and Boris look at each other before the chorus and start singing "You Shook Me All Night Long"? Was shown on the Raptors telecast coming out of a time out around 2:35ish in the 4th. Best moment.

[Texas_Ranger]

Kwahi didn't wear that thing in the second half.

[SpurPadre]

Ho-hum, doing what we do best so far this season: beating the losers of the league. It would be nice if we can beat a REAL team next time we face one.

[timtonymanu]

Ho-hum, doing what we do best so far this season: beating the losers of the league. It would be nice if we can beat a REAL team next time we face one.

All in due time. We went through the same thing early last season. Just be happy we aren't blowing the scrub games. :lol

[313]

Ho-hum, doing what we do best so far this season: beating the losers of the league. It would be nice if we can beat a REAL team next time we face one.Come back when it's time for the playoffs if you want to see us plow through the West and win #5. Until then, we're just enjoying the ride.

[TampaDude]

Easy win...NEXT!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[SpurPadre]

Come back when it's time for the playoffs if you want to see us plow through the West and win #5. Until then, we're just enjoying the ride.

Yeah, I've been watching as many games as I can so far but I'm still thinking ahead for the most part...maybe that's what they're doing, too? All I know is that beating Miami AT Miami would be awesome on January 26th, though and that would be a great confidence booster to take on the rest of the way. That's gotta be the most important regular season game in the Pop era, for whatever that's worth.

[SpurPadre]

All in due time. We went through the same thing early last season. Just be happy we aren't blowing the scrub games. :lol

True dat. It's always good not to play down to the competition.

[Arcadian]

Ayres going 2/2 from the field...what a stud.

Totally didn't watch the game. Were those uncontested layups?

[jeebus]

Ayres going 2/2 from the field...what a stud.

Totally didn't watch the game. Were those uncontested layups?
According to ESPN play by play, one was a layup and one was a jump shot. Just astounding.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

missed the game but im about to catch the replay. heard baynes went ham; hope pop comes to his senses and beches airs for good.

[spurraider21]

[Hoops Czar]

It's not surprising teams like Houston and Indiana are beating them. Their perimeter defense is a joke.

[Ice009]

Patty Mills has to have the fastest reflexes in the NBA, he's like a fucking cat.

He is definitely fast. What I want to know is - Are the Spurs ever going to get him to use that speed to get to the rim? Is he working on his dribbling at all? I mean, he's got the speed to get to the rim, which we need more of IMO, but I am assuming that he doesn't have the ball handling to do it on a consistent basis? I've been waiting all season to see him try and get to the rack more often, but it doesn't seem to be happening. Are they content with him just being an outside shooter?

Anyway, the guy played his ass off at the end of the Pacers game when most of the players didn't show up, so I just want to give him some props for continuing to stick with it that game and this season.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Bowen, poster child for not knowing when to shut up and leave.

Yeah that uncalled for appearance was a little much. Go sit down somewhere Bruce, why the hell are you talking Cowboys on the Spurs post game?
