Game 23: Timberwolves vs. Spurs - Friday, Dec 13, 7:30PM (CST)

[TheGoldStandard]

Bonner the Wolves Killer

[TXstbobcat]

Parker333

[ElNono]

damn that was nice, sup fellas, has malcolm played any minutes?

sup robdiaz... is your wife at the game?

[Cry Havoc]

Matty B for threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[bklynspursfan]

Definitely missing Splitter's presence here against Love. At least (knock on wood) we're doing a good job on Martin

[DapDaGenius]

Bonner playing good? Looks like Pop has been the one "returning the favor" recently.

[timtonymanu]

damn that was nice, sup fellas, has malcolm played any minutes?

No minutes yet.

[Cry Havoc]

Is this game over yet?

[PlayNando]

Red Rocket = X-Factor.

[TXstbobcat]

Bonner33333

[Chomag]

much better effort in the 2nd spurs still need to tighten up the D a bit though

[TheGoldStandard]

Held them to 24 points in the 2nd.. Gotta keep it that wya

[Bill_Brasky]

Bonner with the floor spreading goods

[Cry Havoc]

damn that was nice, sup fellas, has malcolm played any minutes?

Nope.

League Pass is free this weekend though, go sign up and watch in HD. :)

[PlayNando]

sup robdiaz... is your wife at the game?

No, she's in my bed.

[Robz4000]

So much stupid it hurts.

Son Hibbert, Abaka, Vallanjunis, Favors (to an extent), and Bogut have all given Timmy problems this year. Nothing against Tim, he's just lost too much weight to negate their youth/athleticism/size advantage with skill all the time; doesn't mean he isn't a top big anymore.

[TXstbobcat]

Great 2nd quarter for the spurs!!

[TDfan2007]

Tony and Kawhi have been great offensively. Tony is running the offense to perfection.

[RD2191]

sup robdiaz... is your wife at the game?
not married, tbh:lol

[r0drig0lac]

tim on Watch the triple double

[Cry Havoc]

This game's gonna be over before halftime tbh.

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[ElNono]

oh, never mind then :lol

[RD2191]

Nope.

Where do I sign up?:lol

[TheGoldStandard]

Tony has layed off the hero ball tonight for the most part

[Cry Havoc]

Where do I sign up?:lol

No minutes yet.
oh ok, maybe in the 2nd half. how did ayres look in that first half?

[RD2191]

oh, never mind then :lol
:lol

[TDfan2007]

As far as his ability to score on them, kind of. Defensively, Timmy only struggled against one of those guys, Favors.

[Robz4000]

You said I've disappeared from this forum. Don't cry like a bitch cause I'm shutting down your arguments. :lol

Is this game over yet?

Son you ran off after 6. Only ones I recall sticking around for the jizzfest downstairs were jeebus, Nono, HH, bene, and a few others.

[TheGoldStandard]

Green noticeably missing for most of the 2nd.

[RD2191]

http://www.nba.com/leaguepass/broadband/

God bless sons.
:tu

[ElNono]

even if we win tonight we would still be winless against .672 or better teams... :depressed

[Chomag]

oh ok, maybe in the 2nd half. how did ayres look in that first half?

:lmao

He did a tad better in the 2nd though which is alot for him

[timtonymanu]

oh ok, maybe in the 2nd half. how did ayres look in that first half?

Actually played some good D on Pek. Still can't do jack on offense though. He made a dunk. :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Son you ran off after 6. Only ones I recall sticking around for the jizzfest downstairs were jeebus, Nono, HH, bene, and a few others.

I never once complained about the officiating in the Finals and thought it was a really well called best of 7.

You want to keep making stuff up, or go back to cliff jumping? I can laugh at you for either. :lol

[r0drig0lac]

DMC in 10 minutes: 6 points/4 rebounds/4 assists/4 steals

[RD2191]

Actually played some good D on Pek. Still can't do jack on offense though. He made a dunk. :lol
Guess that's pretty good considering it is Ayres:lol

[007nites]

tim on Watch the triple double

4 rebounds in the 2nd half will be no problem if he plays the 4th. 5 assists will in the 2nd will be the deal breaker.

[RD2191]

:lmao

He did a tad better in the 2nd though which is alot for him
True that, is Love going off??

[Robz4000]

As far as his ability to score on them, kind of. Defensively, Timmy only struggled against one of those guys, Favors.

Vallenjunis scored something like 10 points over Tim the other night before Pop put Baynes on him. Bogut has no O but makes Tim work nonetheless. Hibbert took all of Tim's attention which resulted in West going off (not Tim's fault). Abaka's athleticism has confounded Tim for years now.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good 1st half, TD and Boris were great

[Libri]

Tim with 5 assists, going for a triple double tonight

[Robz4000]

I never once complained about the officiating in the Finals and thought it was a really well called best of 7.

You want to keep making stuff up, or go back to cliff jumping? I can laugh at you for either. :lol

Still ran off after6 instead of sticking around to support your team.

:lol fair weather fan

[RD2191]

Come on robz, half the board ran off after 6 tbh. That shit was brutal:lol

[Cry Havoc]

Still ran off after6 instead of sticking around to support your team.

:lol fair weather fan

Is this game over yet, non fair weather fan?

[TDfan2007]

Vallenjunis scored something like 10 points over Tim the other night before Pop put Baynes on him. Bogut has no O but makes Tim work nonetheless. Hibbert took all of Tim's attention which resulted in West going off (not Tim's fault). Abaka's athleticism has confounded Tim for years now.

:lol Timmy hardly ever guards Ibaka, and the only part he struggles with is rushing to close out in a pick and pop situation, which is obviously understandable for a guy his age.

As for Vallenjunis, yes he had a nice first quarter against Timmy, but didn't do jack shit afterward, and it wasn't just Baynes defending him, Timmy checked him in the 2nd half as well.

:lmao Bogut makes Tim work defensively. Are you kidding me?

And now you're knocking Tim just because he's paying attention to his man and not stopping 2 players at once (Hibbert and West)?

[Cry Havoc]

Come on robz, half the board ran off after 6 tbh. That shit was brutal:lol

Nah dude, come on, this board is just a frenzy of activity in the off season. :lmao

[Robz4000]

Tim read ST tonight tbh. Saw my criticism and decided to shit on me :lol

[Budkin]

Come on robz, half the board ran off after 6 tbh. That shit was brutal:lol

Worst night of sleep I've had since May 22, 2006.

[ace3g]

Looks like Thomas is wearing #24

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan on pace for a triple double.


Man, it sucks seeing him get shit on by all these superior bigs!

[Robz4000]

Come on robz, half the board ran off after 6 tbh. That shit was brutal:lol

It was, but fuck letting Lakerfan run wild tbh.

[bklynspursfan]

That would be awesome to follow his 20/20.

Yup definitely. Wonder how many guys his age have done that.

[RD2191]

:lol

[Libri]

Anybody have D Howard on their fantasy team? Dude is a huge disappointment they season, low scorer, not blocks and average rebounds. lol

[ace3g]

[timtonymanu]

Not He Who Shall Not Be Named. :lol

[ace3g]

Kapow!!!

[TheGoldStandard]

Danny Green :(

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!

[Cry Havoc]

Anybody have D Howard on their fantasy team? Dude is a huge disappointment they season, low scorer, not blocks and average rebounds. lol

Did you expect him to score a lot on the Beard's team? :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Is it me or does it seem Green always struggles when Belinelli does well ?

[ElNono]

errors is such a ball stopper

[ace3g]

Rudy Gay 3-3 to start his debut, lol

[TDfan2007]

Love can stroke it from 3. Wow.

[TheGoldStandard]

Time to put Danny Green's face on a milk carton

[DapDaGenius]

Green is looking horrible.

[Chomag]

fn green man...

[timtonymanu]

Not feeling this start. Danny Green is being invisible.

[Cry Havoc]

Time to put Danny Green's face on a milk carton

Why? No one would go looking for him. :lol

[ElNono]

yeah thats not working

[timtonymanu]

10-0 run c'mon.

[DAF86]

lol get the bench in, tbh.

[TheGoldStandard]

Why? No one would go looking for him. :lol

They need an amber alert.

[TheGoldStandard]

3 on 5 with Green and Ayres in the game.. Can't move the ball like that

[Reck]

Spurs thinking they're still shooting around like its practice.

Get on your fucking man for shit's sake.

[RD2191]

geez, that's some terrible defense:lol

[crc21209]

Fucking 10-0 run in the blink of an eye...

[Robz4000]

:lol Timmy hardly ever guards Ibaka, and the only part he struggles with is rushing to close out in a pick and pop situation, which is obviously understandable for a guy his age.

As for Vallenjunis, yes he had a nice first quarter against Timmy, but didn't do jack shit afterward, and it wasn't just Baynes defending him, Timmy checked him in the 2nd half as well.

:lmao Bogut makes Tim work defensively. Are you kidding me?

And now you're knocking Tim just because he's paying attention to his man and not stopping 2 players at once (Hibbert and West)?

Tim routinely struggles when Bogut defends him, this is fact. Abaka has been defended by Tim in ISO situations and has scored on him plenty. Tim got put on Amir Johnson after the first and hardly ever guarded Vallenjunas the rest of the way. I said I didn't blame Tim for not shutting down both West and Hibbert, but it also goes to show how weak the Spurs interior D is without Splitter, which is how this whole shortest got started in the first place.

[DapDaGenius]

Okay, time to put King Marco or Manu back in, thank you. Get Green out of here. Streaky mofo.

[TheGoldStandard]

Can't count on Green at all, streaky or not, that's not good for business

[Libri]

Did you expect him to score a lot on the Beard's team? :lol

I was counting on him being extremely selfish. :depressed

[timtonymanu]

Wow

[Cry Havoc]

God League Pass is a buggy POS. I missed 3 minutes of the 3rd quarter while it was scrolling stats.

[RD2191]

damn kawhi, we need some more of that

[MeloHype]

Kawhi the goat

[ace3g]

Kapow pow pow

[DapDaGenius]

THAT IS MY DAWG!!!! KAWOW!!

[Cry Havoc]

Kawhi making Brewer look like a scrub.

[Robz4000]

Leonard having a great game

[TheGoldStandard]

Kawhi making love to the pressure

[timtonymanu]

Breakout game from Kawhi. Wish he could do this consistently.

[RD2191]

Kawhi is taking over

[Cry Havoc]

K333333WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!! Nice

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Put Timmy on the triple-double watch

[DPG21920]

KLIW: Kevin Love Is WET

[Cry Havoc]

TIM TO LEONARD!

[DAF86]

Go for the triple double Timmy.

[TXstbobcat]

Yeah Leonard

[TDfan2007]

Wolves are on fire.

[TheGoldStandard]

He needs this Danny is a POS

[bklynspursfan]

Sloppy play. Ugh

[DapDaGenius]

Wow Tony...really.

[timtonymanu]

FFS tony

[Chomag]

KL with a 3!!! almost had to check my eye slol

[RD2191]

KAWHI IS FEELING IT

[TDfan2007]

Thankfully so is Kawhi!

[Cry Havoc]

Peko shitting on Duncan with that turnover. :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

Glad to see Kawhi having it going. Defense kinda sucks tonight though

[Cry Havoc]

KAWHET!

[Reck]

Can anyone defend the fucking 3? My god these faggots

[DapDaGenius]

LOL Has an 8 point lead....then gets schooled. That is how it works at home for the Spurs.

[Libri]

Leonard taking over

[jeebus]

jesus get it to kawhi

[Cry Havoc]

3 guys back and no one boxes KLo. COME ON.

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard is a beast tonight!

[TDfan2007]

Get Kawhi the damn ball. Please.

[Boomersgold]

Kawhi's beasting!

[DapDaGenius]

Can anyone defend the fucking 3? My god these faggots

x10

[bklynspursfan]

I'm fine with this if it means another really solid defensive 4th quarter like we had in the 2nd.

[Cry Havoc]

Peko clearly too much for Timmy. :lmao

[RD2191]

wow love

[NickiRasgo]

Damn Love can't miss.

[Reck]

Alright this is around the time where you double team Love? Geez

[Boomersgold]

Can anyone defend the fucking 3? My god these faggots

TP sagging off on D, as per usual.

[Cry Havoc]

LEONARD TO TONY

[ElNono]

come on son

[KL2]

Fluke 3pt shooting lmao

[DapDaGenius]

Wow...they are shitting on us with the 3 right now.

[Chomag]

why the fuck do they keep backing off of KL!?!?

[timtonymanu]

My god with these lazy passes

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!

[Bill_Brasky]

holy shit we just continue to allow this guy to shoot open threes.

[RD2191]

oh come on! get malcolm in there to guard:lol love!

[Chomag]

Fluke 3pt shooting lmao
umm KL is a hell of a 3 pint shooter

[Reck]

Oh yeah now this is looking grim. That 3 is infectious and Tcups cant miss.

[bklynspursfan]

9/16 from 3. Love 7/7... 7/8 now

[KaiRMD1]

How does everybody become a three point threat against the Spurs?

[Chomag]

rebound!!!

[DAF86]

Time out Man, WTF.

[bklynspursfan]

Why is pop not calling TO. the guys are tired

[DapDaGenius]

Why are we chokin' right now? XD

[ElNono]

now we fell in love with the 3 ball too

[Chomag]

again guys... KL and KM can hit those in thier sleep.

[DAF86]

Adelman bailing Pop out there.

[timtonymanu]

Sigh. Spurs aren't even moving the ball anymore.

[Bill_Brasky]

i hate our defense and bad passing right now.

[DPG21920]

So much for defending that 3 point line and taking care of the ball. Just a disaster 3rd quarter.

[TDfan2007]

Kawhi is settling right now. We need to slow the game down.

[Reck]

Wow lol

[Boomersgold]

How does everybody become a three point threat against the Spurs?
Tony Parker. Bad Defensive habits, tbh.

[TheGoldStandard]

That starting lineup really fucked up the rhythm. Everyone looks gassed

[KL2]

umm KL is a hell of a 3 pint shooter


Im talking about the wolves

[timmy2003]

fuck love

[Cry Havoc]

Tony Parker. Bad Defensive habits, tbh.

Yes.

It's Tony Fucking Parker's fault that a 7 foot power forward is hitting all these threes.

Get these trash takes out of the game thread.

[RD2191]

minny just looks like the younger team, tbh:lol

[timtonymanu]

Props to Kevin Love though.

Terrible matchup for our team. No one can guard him.

[TheGoldStandard]

Wherever KLove is at, run out at him... way too many easy open shots.

[timmy2003]

horrible horrible 3rd quarter

[Cry Havoc]

Im talking about the wolves

He is too. Kevin Love's initials are KL.

[DAF86]

Mills, Gino, Belli, Boris and Bonner and we go to the 4th ahead.

[PlayNando]

Timmy is playing well. Love struggling against a frontcourt with competent defenders.

:lol :lol :lol

Shatty take is shatty per par.

[Chomag]

Im talking about the wolves

Only wolves that are making 3 pointers are Keven Martin and Kevin Love

[timmy2003]

Props to Kevin Love though.

Terrible matchup for our team. No one can guard him.

Just force him to drive to the basket. Don't let him shoot 3

[DPG21920]

Come on guys, pull it together. Don't want another home L.

[ElNono]

There's some lack of attention, but also give Love some credit... not all of those 3s were wide open

[timmy2003]

ridiculous 3rd quarter

[timmy2003]

by far the worst quarter this season

[timmy2003]

need to tighten up the D

[RD2191]

:lol

[ElNono]

wtf.... why is Cojo out there instead of Patty?

[TheGoldStandard]

OH GOOD GOD!!!!

[DAF86]

Joseph in? WTF Pop?

[Cry Havoc]

At least Kawhi is stepping up. Progress for him.

[bklynspursfan]

oh god now Joseph is in....

[TDfan2007]

The defense this quarter has been almost inconceivably bad.

[timtonymanu]

Why play Joseph instead of Patty?

[TheGoldStandard]

Ayres and Bonner??? Wow..

[Cry Havoc]

wtf.... why is Cojo out there instead of Patty?

Annnnnnnd cue free throws.

[bklynspursfan]

Pop throwing in the towel already?

[Texas_Ranger]

amazing lineup...

[DAF86]

This line-up sucks. Fuck Popovich.

[Robz4000]

Settling for jumpers smh

[TheGoldStandard]

I guess Pop is waiving the white flag.

[loveforthegame]

:bang

[jeebus]

Pop in full panic mode.

[Cry Havoc]

What the fuck Corey.

[Bill_Brasky]

i hate the wolves

[Cry Havoc]

Marcoooooooooo

[Boomersgold]

Yes.

It's Tony Fucking Parker's fault that Love is hitting all these threes.

Get these trash takes out of the game thread.

Yeah, it's Tony Parker's fault for not switching after a screen. See 5:13 in the Third quarter, and tell me exactly who Parker was supposed to be guarding.

I know that you think Parker can do no wrong, but you don't have to act like he's had no part in Love getting all those wide open looks.

[KaiRMD1]

smh

[TXstbobcat]

Marco!!

[Boomersgold]

Marco and Kawhi are carrying the team!

[TDfan2007]

Sean is absolutely right. Sometimes the Spurs can get too system-oriented and forget the hot hand.

[DPG21920]

This starting unit smh. Just consistently digging holes for this team. I really can't believe the Spurs record is so good with how out of sorts that unit is.

[TXstbobcat]

Manu almost the and 1

[Chomag]

damn the defense has been bad all night

[Cry Havoc]

Yeah, it's Tony Parker's fault for not switching after a screen. See 5:13 in the Third quarter, and tell me exactly who Parker was supposed to be guarding.

I know that you think Parker can do no wrong, but you don't have to act like he's had no part in Love getting all those wide open looks.

:lmao

Thinking a point guard can stop love from getting an open look from 3.

:lmao

I call Tony out when he makes bad plays. I just think it's funny that he and Kawhi are the only reasons we're even in this game and the forum is going to shit on him. :lol Like he's the ONLY Spur player that's breaking down on D. Hilarious.

[RD2191]

Rubio getting calls that not even TP gets at home:lol

[DAF86]

What did Mills do wrong in the first half to get benched in the 2nd?

[TheGoldStandard]

This starting unit smh. Just consistently digging holes for this team. I really can't believe the Spurs record is so good with how out of sorts that unit is.

They're starting Ayres and Green who have combined for like 0 points over 5 games.

[SpurPadre]

Well...that was a fucking DISASTROUS 3rd quarter. Can they pretend the Wolves aren't a .500 team and win this fucking thing?

[TDfan2007]

This starting unit smh. Just consistently digging holes for this team. I really can't believe the Spurs record is so good with how out of sorts that unit is.

What do you expect with a startling lineup boasting Ayers and Green? Possibly two of the worst starters in the league.

[spurraider21]

maybe if bonner starts outshooting love we can get back in this thing

[Robz4000]

Spurs desperately missing Splitter

[timtonymanu]

smh

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Once Rubio and Love come out, the Spurs will have their chance to comeback.

[DPG21920]

What do you expect with a startling lineup boasting Ayers and Green? Possibly two of the worst starters in the league.

That is just today. Not all season.

[ElNono]

we're still there... can't let them have a good start to the 4th

[DPG21920]

What do you expect with a startling lineup boasting Ayers and Green? Possibly two of the worst starters in the league.

That is just today. Not all season.

[loveforthegame]

Spurs desperately missing Splitter

[bklynspursfan]

Maybe Pop knows this one is over? Playing Joseph and Bonner together is mind boggling unless he just wants to save his guys for tomorrow

[Cry Havoc]

Thunder just hit 100 on the Lakers with 10 minutes to play. :lol

[Chomag]

Spurs have a great team but my god they need to trim some of it's fat

[TXstbobcat]

Super crappy 3rd quarter for the spurs

[DPG21920]

By the way, as of right now, Pek has more points and rebounds than Tim on better shooting %..

[KaiRMD1]

Defense, that's all you gotta play then make the buckets, simple as that. Come on Spurs, don't blow it in the 4th like you did in the third

[TheGoldStandard]

Green needs to be on the block if not for a deal but for just some kind of motivation.

[timtonymanu]

Game not out of reach but this game is showing why I hate playing the TWolves. They're just a tough matchup for the Spurs.

Need to get back into this game. Danny Green shouldn't get any more minutes today.

[TDfan2007]

That is just today. Not all season.

Inconsistent outside shooting, tbh. Green has been more icy than hot, Splitter can't shoot, and Timmy struggled from mid range in the first 10 or so games. A cold Danny Green is offensively worthless.

[RD2191]

I have a feeling a blowout is coming:lol Hope I'm wrong.

[PlayNando]

Our starters minus Tiago are a joke.

[SpurPadre]

Once Rubio and Love come out, the Spurs will have their chance to comeback.

Or maybe Pop can tell them they actually aren't a .500 team, that it's a typo and that they're really a below .500 team...you know like the teams they only seem they can beat at the moment.

[ace3g]

good start

[TheGoldStandard]

We can't spin this loss if it happens. Have to choke up on the defense and play hard.

[Robz4000]

Game not out of reach but this game is showing why I hate playing the TWolves. They're just a tough matchup for the Spurs.

Need to get back into this game. Danny Green shouldn't get any more minutes today.

If Splitter or Baynes play Spurs win by 10 tbh. Pek and Love having great games.

[TDfan2007]

By the way, as of right now, Pek has more points and rebounds than Tim on better shooting %..

Pek is playing a great game, running the floor very well. Timmy hasn't produced consistently with his touches tonight.

[Cry Havoc]

BELLI FOR 3!!!!!!!!

[DPG21920]

Tim has been fine - I was just fueling the fire..

[TXstbobcat]

Marco333

[Cry Havoc]

Here we go, moving the ball like Spurs again.

[ElNono]

come on... more stooooooooops

[bklynspursfan]

Marco/Beli saving us

[TheGoldStandard]

Don't sub anyone in unless its for Cojo

[DPG21920]

Plenty of time obviously, but have to play clean ball with energy.

[TDfan2007]

Tim has been fine - I was just fueling the fire..

Well played. He needs to convert on more of those open looks this quarter though.

[Cry Havoc]

"This game is unavailable due to technical difficulties."

My wallet is unavailable due to league pass being complete shit. :lol

[Boomersgold]

Bonner defending Pekovic? Wtf, Pop. This isn't going to be pretty.

[Captivus]

we need stops

[Robz4000]

Pop wants this one, putting in Duncan early.

[ace3g]

damn 50 50 ball

[DPG21920]

So unlucky, smh.

[TDfan2007]

Manu is killing it!

[DPG21920]

Manu is det dude!

[ElNono]

:wow

[Chomag]

to much scrambling on D

[DPG21920]

That creep can roll

[RD2191]

Our defense is terrible

[TXstbobcat]

Manu!!!
