[PlayNando]

Um, stalker.

[Raven]

let us all hope Marco does not play.

[Bruno]

Um, stalker.

Not really.

[bklynspursfan]

Is curry back? And Iggy?

Yup

[ace3g]

I expect Green to be back in starting line up tonight.

[monkeypunk]

Saw the FoxSports crew feature Melissa last week after we won a home game for 20-30 full seconds as the crew was saying good night. Could have some lurker FoxSports cameramen on ST, :lol...

[loveforthegame]

I'll be at the game tonight. Hoping most the guys play.

Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
(https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine)Spurs just announced Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili are being rested tonight against Golden State ... with Tony Parker (shin) still out, too

San Antonio Spurs @spurs
(https://twitter.com/spurs)Both Tim Duncan (rest) and Manu Ginobili (rest) will not play in tonight's Spurs-Warriors game.

[jyra]

I'm looking forward to Malcolm Thomas getting some good minutes in this game.

[ManuTastic]

Duncan, Tim: DNP-old
Ginobili, Manu: DNP-old

[ManuTastic]

Think Stern'll fine us again? He's such a dick he probably will. Unless restrained by cooler heads in the league office.

[DesignatedT]

Nice. Good move.

[loveforthegame]

:lol

Thank goodness I got my tickets cheap.

Thomas better get some minutes tonight. Baynes too.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Starting to think Green should come off the bench so Ginobili can find him open looks. Besides, Belinelli has earned some starter time IMO

[Robz4000]

This game's gonna be fun to watch tbh.

[look_at_g_shred]

Starting to think Green should come off the bench so Ginobili can find him open looks. Besides, Belinelli has earned some starter time IMO
The bench looks lost without Marco out there. Plus Green starts to guard Curry

[RD2191]

faaawkkkkkkkkk

[RD2191]

:lmaokobe

[crc21209]

Even without Manu, Tim, and Tony, I think the Spurs can make a game out of it. I wanna see alot of Mills, Beli, Kawhi, Green, and Diaw. No Ayres would be nice, and sprinkle in some Baynes and Thomas as well...:tu

[timtonymanu]

Mills usually goes off on the Warriors so he should have a good game today.

[Trainwreck2100]

:lol pop shits on tnt for the second straight year

[wildcardX]

Pop resting players? I think Ayres should be rested. Try Thomas out for todays game.

[SpurPadre]

Damnit...I'm going to the game too. Oh well, for the greater good and everything...Kawhi better go off and make good on his full potential goddamnit!

[timtonymanu]

Damnit...I'm going to the game too. Oh well, for the greater good and everything...Kawhi better go off and make good on his full potential goddamnit!

I still think it would be cool to watch a game even if the Big 3 are out. Then again, I like watching these kind of games.

[ace3g]

No wonder Ayres got that contract:

Jeff Zillgitt @JeffZillgitt
(https://twitter.com/JeffZillgitt)Spurs go w/Danny Green as union player representative & Jeff Ayres as alternate rep. Kings: Carl Landry rep & Jimmer Fredette alternate.

[SpurPadre]

I still think it would be cool to watch a game even if the Big 3 are out. Then again, I like watching these kind of games.

Yeah, I'll make the most of it. I'm gonna see them play later in the season when they come back to Oakland in March...and probably check them out against the Kings, too.

[timtonymanu]

Yeah, I'll make the most of it. I'm gonna see them play later in the season when they come back to Oakland in March...and probably check them out against the Kings, too.

Nice! I live in Portland and we know how Pop likes to tank those games. Thankfully, every time I went, everyone was active but one of the Big 3 was always injured.

[PlayNando]

No wonder Ayres got that contract:

Union thugs, tbh? Maybe the Players Union threatened to beat up Pop if Ayres wasn't played, tbh?

[PlayNando]

Who is starting tonight, tbh?

[PlayNando]

Play Nando.........

[ElNono]

The last union guy on the team stuck around for like 5 years. Bad news for Errors haters...

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Baynes vs Bogut

[Holden_Caulfield]

is thomas gonna play?

[spurs10]

You sir are gentleman and a fine human being! Melissa is getting me in the holiday spirit!!

[spurs10]

I am referring to Bruno's fine posting of ace3g's inspiration offerings!

[BatManu20]

413832571441516544

[TheGoldStandard]

Ayres will play 48 straight minutes.

[Sfan]

Baynes vs Bogut
At least Baynes would have trained a lot with Bogut when on national duties together. Although not recently as Bogut is injured a lot and tends to miss playing for Oz.

[TheGoldStandard]

At least Baynes would have trained a lot with Bogut when on national duties together. Although not recently as Bogut is injured a lot and tends to miss playing for Oz.

It'll be Heavy Doses of Baynes and Bonner

[TheyCallMePro]

Bless you Bruno.

Bless you.

[benfti]

I'd start mills Marco kawai diaw and splitter. That at least on paper looks competitive

[HarlemHeat37]

Vegas has the Warriors at -6.5..I'm betting on it for value purposes, but when Vegas has a line that seems way too low considering the circumstances, it's usually a trap, tbh..

Based on Vegas trends, it seems like this game will be close until the 4th, at least..

[jeebus]

I'd start mills Marco kawai diaw and splitter. That at least on paper looks competitive
Naw. Patty, Green, Kawhi, Diaw, Bane.

[apalisoc_9]

Give me some Baynes POP!!!

[jeebus]

Give me some Baynes POP!!!
I talked to him. It's a go :tu

[Boomersgold]

I'd start mills Marco kawai diaw and splitter. That at least on paper looks competitive
Mills doesn't play well when he is forced to be the play maker. He Needs Manu.

[jeebus]

Mills doesn't play well when he is forced to be the play maker. He Needs Manu.
Yeah but even without Manu, Mills plays better than CojoPERIOD

[ace3g]

[exstatic]

:lol pop shits on Stern for the second straight year

[timtonymanu]

Mills doesn't play well when he is forced to be the play maker. He Needs Manu.

I think Marco would be a decent replacement for Manu. Whatever prevents Joseph from starting and hesitating in the offense.

[xellos88330]

GO SPURS GO!!!

[PlayNando]

Who the fk is starting tbh???

[DarkGinobili]

:flag:

[jeebus]

Who the fk is starting tbh???
My nigga Patty, Green, Kawhi, my nigga Bane, Diaw.

[SPIDER2311]

bayne train gettin the start

[TheyCallMePro]

I love this starting line-up. So jacked for this game.

[PlayNando]

Bayne = cracker tbh

[PlayNando]

ty jeebus

[PlayNando]

Play Nando.

[jeebus]

Play Nando.
Calm your tits, he's gonna play.

Patty/Cojo

Bane/Splitter

[PlayNando]

Calm your tits, he's gonna play.

Patty/Cojo
Green/Nando
Kawhi/Marco
Diaw/Thomas/Boner
Bane/Splitter
:flag:

[PlayNando]

Baynes will impress the haters.

[SPIDER2311]

Baynes will impress the haters. i hope so, but he will have a tough night with bogut

[Cry Havoc]

Sitting here in the nosebleeds. Go spurs!

[PlayNando]

i hope so, but he will have a tough night with bogut
Baynes is the perfect weapon against him. Kiwi on Aussie action.

[crc21209]

All of the Bulls national TV games should be taken away for the rest of the season tbh. They're just gonna get blown out against good/great teams...

[Bill_Brasky]

wish the bulls would just lose already

[PlayNando]

All of the Bulls national TV games should be taken away for the rest of the season tbh. They're just gonna get blown out against good/great teams...
Luckily for them, there's only two good/great teams in the Eastern Conference.

[TheGoldStandard]

Chicago put all it's eggs into one basket and that didn't work out for them.

[DPG21920]

Hoping that Tiago not starting means he's not playing too. Might as well rest the big 4.

[DPG21920]

Oh ya, time for Kawhi to do his best Paul George impersonation if he can. That doesn't mean hog, it just means be the man.

[PlayNando]

lol bulls :lol

wankers

[RD2191]

:flag:

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

BAYNES! AUSSIE SHOWDOWN!

[PlayNando]

Thank god its finally about to start jesus

[PlayNando]

BAYNES! AUSSIE SHOWDOWN!
But Baynes is a Kiwi....

[GB20]

where is tiago?

[PlayNando]

But yes I know Aron grew up in Australia.

[heyheymymy]

:flag:

[PlayNando]

BAYNES WITH THE TIP OFF GOODS

[PlayNando]

Green hero chuck brick.

[PlayNando]

Kawhi can't guard this chucker Thompson.

[heyheymymy]

Sitting here in the nosebleeds. Go spurs!

have fun

[RD2191]

I've seen enough, tank for Wiggins.

[TXstbobcat]

Mills!!

[PlayNando]

Why did Manu even bother to suit up? He's in the game warmup.

[TDomination]

Mills looking to shoot early on

[DPG21920]

Patty looked ridic fast right there :wow

[TXstbobcat]

Baynes!!!

[PlayNando]

Damn, Lee going ham right there on Boris.

[PlayNando]

GTFO DANNY GREEN

[TDomination]

offensive rebounds are going to kill us tonight

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

But Baynes is a Kiwi....
He's aussie now

[TheGoldStandard]

Kawhi fell asleep.

[RD2191]

:lmaopop

[PlayNando]

He's aussie now
I know he grew up in Queensland, Australia tbh.

[DPG21920]

Pop is all up in that DG ass

[TDomination]

Why does Danny Green continue to try and drive....thats not your game dummy!

[PlayNando]

You'd think Kawhi would come out looking to score and make plays in this one, but he looks bad.

The bad thing is that since Manu, Tony, and Timmy are out, he's suddenly the focal point. Can he handle the pressure now that he is the focus, tbh?

[Chomag]

lol @ Green getting an earful from Pop

[TheGoldStandard]

Danny Green will be on the bench.. he keeps losing stock.. need to dump him off soon.

[01Snake]

These Griffin Force commercials at stupid as shit.

[siraulo23]

I rarely say this but pop is a f idiot, mills and baynes and green on the lineup, nope kawhi still sits in the corner deferring to patty and green

[TDomination]

They wont get fined lol

[lefty]

Damn that walking spurs jersey

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!

[TheGoldStandard]

Everyone is playing help defense way too much...

[PlayNando]

There we go Kawhi.

[jeebus]

thank god for patty mills

[PlayNando]

Patty, don't try that alley oop again. WTF.

[TDomination]

mills shooting a lot

[TheGoldStandard]

We do not have anyone to facilitate in this unit.. lol..

[PlayNando]

Ouch, Aron.....

[RD2191]

fuk

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

david lee shitting on boris tbh

[TheGoldStandard]

Well this is turning ugly

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Kawhi gotta get the ball more

[RD2191]

kawhi, grow a pair and do your fukin thing. fuk

[ace3g]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bb5mRPBIYAAsR44.jpg:large

[PlayNando]

Let's hope Marco can stop the bleeding, tbh.

[PlayNando]

GOD DAMN IT GREEN FK !!!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

And Green's gotta stop doing anything but shooting on offense

[Darius Bieber]

Warriors about the blow this game wide open.

[TheGoldStandard]

Danny Green, most devolved player of the year

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

green sucks

[BatManu20]

Green.. that's arguably the worst pass I've ever seen.

[HarlemHeat37]

Can Pop run a play for Leonard?..maybe a look in the post, at least?..

[Darius Bieber]

LMAO Splitter pussy ass shit.

[TheGoldStandard]

HAHAHAHA SPLITTER

[RD2191]

:lmaotiago

[crc21209]

Green threw it right to a Warrior for the 2nd time tonight.

[PlayNando]

Nice airball Tiago.

[bklynspursfan]

Why is green running a fast break....... Like ever

[weeks]

LMAO splitter with the weakest hookshot ever

[TheGoldStandard]

The rims 10 feet not 8

[Spur-Addict]

Splitter:lmao

[TDomination]

hmm...splitter? weird hook

[DAF86]

Why was Splitter in the bench?

[RD2191]

this is fukin gay

[Holden_Caulfield]

lol splitter with the pussy ass shot

[Reck]

:lol Splitter

How do you miss a hook inches from the fucking basket?

No leaders on the floor for the Spurs. Game will get ugly.

[TheGoldStandard]

Oh no We Suck Again

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs with five turnovers already...

[DPG21920]

This is quite embarrassing at the moment.

[timtonymanu]

Ugly turnovers.

[PlayNando]

Play Nando. We need a facilitator.

[BatManu20]

This is what the Spurs are going to look like when Timmy and Manu retire tbh. Enjoy this season and next.

[weeks]

we've been turning it over like fcking crazy lately, what gives

[bklynspursfan]

Oh dam, joseph is in

[DPG21920]

Also, props for Reggie Miller not buying into the Harlan Spurs whining.

[TheGoldStandard]

Spurs look like the Bobcats

[PlayNando]

Cojo getting roasted on D.

[TDomination]

Play Nando. We need a facilitator.
I can't believe i'm saying this but I agree.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[PlayNando]

WHY ISN'T BORIS TRYING TO SCORE??!?!?!??!!

[crc21209]

Splitter playing like a bitch tonight.

[timtonymanu]

This is ao ugly. Can we at least see Thomas? :lol

[lefty]

roflroflroflrofl

[HarlemHeat37]

Why is Splitter posting against one of the 5 best post defenders in the league, tbh?..

Know your role:lol..

[TheGoldStandard]

Without Duncan next to him or Manu Splitter looks like he's worth about 100K not 9M

[Darius Bieber]

Final Score: Warriors 113, Spurs 67

[RD2191]

lmfao spurs

[PlayNando]

Red Rocket = game-changer? About to check in.

[itzsoweezee]

Damn, this is going to be an ugly game.

[Beaverfuzz]

Warriors will cool off just like they did in the playoffs. STAY THE COURSE DANIEL-SAN!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

I'd rather see Thomas than Diaw right now, no need to play Diaw

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

yea.. were losing by 30 tonight.

[TheGoldStandard]

Wonder what Pop is saying in that huddle.. lol.. I want Aldridge to interview him so badly

[SAmagic]

Is Tiago still rusty

[crc21209]

And of course it never fails, Thompson has been shooting horribly for the past week or so and tonight that fucker is making everything. :td

[HarlemHeat37]

I only bet 4 units on the Warriors at -6.5, I thought Vegas was trapping and baiting a line that seemed too obvious, but it looks like I over-analyzed and should have bet a lot more:lol..

[TheGoldStandard]

No Manu, Tim or Parker and we look like a lotto team.

[BatManu20]

Is Tiago still rusty

Is a pig's pussy porK?

[PlayNando]

And of course it never fails, Thompson has been shooting horribly for the past week or so and tonight that fucker is making everything. :td
Kawhi Leonard can't guard him.

I'd rather have Kawhi on Iguodala, tbh.

[HarlemHeat37]

No Manu, Tim or Parker and we look like a lotto team.

Take Bogut, Curry and Iguodala off the Warriors, I think the Spurs could beat them by 40:lol..

[PlayNando]

No Manu, Tim or Parker and we look like a lotto team.
Most teams without their three best players would also look like shit, tbh.

[Beaverfuzz]

BELIEVE!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Kawhi Leonard can't guard him.

I'd rather have Kawhi on Iguodala, tbh.

Uh, Leonard is probably the best Thompson defender in the league, actually:lol..

Thompson's numbers against him are atrocious, tbh..

[Holden_Caulfield]

lol pop

[PlayNando]

NANDO!!!!!!!

NANDO ALREADY BRINGING THE GOODS BY DRAWING THE OFFENSIVE FOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheGoldStandard]

De Colo with the goods

[ElNono]

We're winning this

[RD2191]

:lmao:lmao

[TDomination]

This is good game nando to play in, an opportunity to facilitate the offense

[Holden_Caulfield]

beli mah nigga

[TXstbobcat]

Marco!!

[PingPong]

White spurs

[RD2191]

nice cojo

[Holden_Caulfield]

cojo with the goods

[TheGoldStandard]

Uh oh.. Defense is contagious

[PlayNando]

Manu has a rib injury? Is that even real or did Pop just make it up as an excuse to sit him? :lol

[Holden_Caulfield]

whitest line up in the league :lmao

[Beaverfuzz]

Sean Marks looks like such a douchebag.

[BatManu20]

Timmy frustrated with Cojo lol

[PlayNando]

KING BELLI!!!!!!!!!!!

[ace3g]

Marco Polo!!

[TXstbobcat]

Marco333

[wildchild]

Can Pop run a play for Leonard?..maybe a look in the post, at least?..

Now Kawhi sit, but in 10 minutes no plays for Leonard.

[PlayNando]

whitest line up in the league :lmao
It is bringing the goods. Good run, tbh.

[Robz4000]

D picking up :tu

[DPG21920]

Bonner's white new balances kill me :lol

[PlayNando]

BELLI!!!!!!!! FINGER ROLL!!!

[TXstbobcat]

Marco ballin

[RD2191]

marco taking over

[TheGoldStandard]

Marco doing his Manu impression

[HarlemHeat37]

Now Kawhi sit, but in 10 minutes no plays for Leonard.

He had one set play on the wing against Barnes..other than that, nothing..

[Holden_Caulfield]

lol nando

[PlayNando]

Nando. :(

[Beaverfuzz]

Fuck you Bonner, haha

[RD2191]

:lmaonando

[BatManu20]

Game 6 talk of course. Not a single game has been played where the commentators haven't brought it up

[PlayNando]

7-0 run!

[313]

Bonner lol

[TheGoldStandard]

Nando learned that from Ayres tbh

[Refocus]

Belli lookin like the only NBA player out there for us.

[bklynspursfan]

really nando, not helping your case for playing over joseph lol

[ace3g]

Nando still can't finish in the NBA....

[TDomination]

Game 6 talk of course. Not a single game has been played where the commentators haven't brought it up

And it hurts every freakin time

[TXstbobcat]

So Nando can't make a point blank layup???

[PlayNando]

Bonner: +7
Nando: +7

Kawhi: -12
Diaw: -12

[DPG21920]

That is why De Colo doesn't play. Can't consistently shoot straight, nor finish at the rim. Kind of important. Should only be a 3 point game despite that awful play .

[TheGreatYacht]

TRADE DE CULO

[Expert]

lol nando missing a layup...

[HarlemHeat37]

Ugh, Nando..

Man, Draymond Green's game is hideous, can't believe this nigga is in the rotation of a legit team, tbh..

[TheGoldStandard]

So Nando can't make a point blank layup???

Ayres strokes his beard in approval

[timtonymanu]

Like usual, Leonard barely had any plays run for him.

Thanks to Marco and Patty, the game is good so far.

[PlayNando]

really nando, not helping your case for playing over joseph lol
Cojo can't make layups, either, so he's just trying to match him, tbh.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

wow FerNando
...
..

[Robz4000]

:lol Miller really isn't shy with his hatred of the Spurs

[PingPong]

Pack Nando, Joseph, Ayers, Bonner and trade them for some basketball nets.

[crc21209]

Nando showing why he is behind Mills and Joseph at the PG spot...SMH.

[Expert]

Fuck Miller, never been to the show... lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Pack Nando, Joseph, Ayers, Bonner and trade them for some basketball nets.

[TheGreatYacht]

Ayres > De Culo

[TheGoldStandard]

All we needed was Bonner and his +/- awesomeness

[PlayNando]

Bonner: +7 in 3 minutes. :lol

[timtonymanu]

:lol Miller really isn't shy with his hatred of the Spurs

What did he say?

[timtonymanu]

:lol Miller really isn't shy with his hatred of the Spurs

What did he say?

[ace3g]

1/2 doing work!!!

http://images.teespring.com/uploads/2013/12/19/09/209490/shirtFrontBig.jpg

[Robz4000]

What did he say?

Just a lot of back-hander compliments. Said Manu was a borderline HoFer.

[RD2191]

come on

[PlayNando]

lol douglas scrub going off.

[TXstbobcat]

Joseph!!

[timtonymanu]

:lol that Douglas scrub gonna go off again

[TDomination]

wow what a lucky bounce for joseph
