i expect a loss tbh

[bklynspursfan]

Spurs should win this one. They lost by 6 in OKC. Defense wasn't the issue, they just couldn't score. And as they always say, role players play better @ home.

[RD2191]

:wakeup

[TXstbobcat]

This should be a great test for Spurs. Spurs 102. Thunder 96. :flag:

[crc21209]

I know this has been probably been said already but DAMN Melissa has some thick legs for a white girl!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'll be curious to see how the Spurs do with Reggie Jackson this time around. He blew the game open for the Thunder last time we faced them.

Ibaka always turns into Larry Bird against us *face palm*

exchanging shots is not a good idea against them, somehow they always find someone having a career game when we try to play the d'antoni way.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Can't wait!!

[RD2191]

Our defense has been terrible in the 1st half of games, hopefully we keep them under 60. Tbh.

[RD2191]

Start Marco and keep Green on Jackson when he comes off the bench.

[heyheymymy]

who told kens 5 they could still do spurs games? they always fuck it up. I can't even find the game on the grid to dvr b/c kens5 hasn't listed it yet. all i get is nbatv package channel and FSNOKC when i search for this game, neither of which I have.

gotta keep searching for spurs till kens5 lists it, so i can add it to my queue

[freetiago]

If SA wins tonight they will be tied with Portland for the best record in the NBA
Portland does hold the tie breaker but its still pretty impressive considering how many cliff jumpers weve had so far and just how terrible the starting lineup has been for the whole season with guys like Green disappearing completely

Not just Green but Parker/Duncan too. TD's gotten much better the past few weeks but Parker's playing at a level worse than 2012 or 2013. He's not even a top five point guard at the moment. Due to the FIBA nonsense this summer, it's looking like Parker needs a few weeks rest or he'll burn out before the playoffs.

headed to the gym and then coming back to a okc v. spurs showdown

I'm surprised this hasn't been discussed more here, tbh..

Tim has bounced back and has been playing at an elite big level since his horrible start, and Manu has been arguably the best player on the team this season..

Parker has been very underwhelming and looks fatigued..the rest should help him, hopefully..he needs to be at a top 15 level for the Spurs to go far, obviously..

Is Parker playing tonight, btw?..

Manu has definitely been tremendous so far. The bench has carried this team. Lots of people are throwing Green under the bus and blaming him for the failure of the starting unit but Parker's the guy that's supposed to be running the offense and he hasn't been doing a very good job of it this year. Points, efficency, assist percentage, Orting are all down from the last two years. The Spurs coaching staff are more than likely aware of this so Pop will probably find some time to rest him these next two months.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

As long as their scrubs don't go off on us ( like usual ) we should win, don't double Durant or Westbrook and guard those other damn scrubs tight. Tired of Ibaka looking like OlajuwonO'nealRussel against us, cuz he's really not.

[LakerHater]

Jus keep the turnovers down, protect the ball!!

[james evans]

i don't fear durant or the thunder, i fear the refs. the nba is so determined to make him the next superstar, u can't even guard this dude. when you're playing a guy close and u get 2 or 3 quick fouls on him, u have no choice but to play off of him and let him drain jumpers all night. when the thunder played the wolves early in the season and they weren't calling shit for durant every time he drove and he would hit the floor, he looked average. once u stop giving a guy the superstar treatment and stop calling foul every time he drives to the basket and make him earn his points, a lot of these guys don't look at as good as they are hyped to be. i just read john stockton's autobiography. he said when he would receive stitches or knocked to the ground for driving in the lane. one time, an official told him, "you shouldn't go down there.." . it's funny that people say the spurs are a boring team, but when their favorite player is shooting 15-20 freethrows a night on some bullshit, that's supposedly interesting.

as for ibaka, duncan should never guard him cuz all he does is bring him out the paint and shoot jumpers. put diaw on him and move duncan to the center for the game and have him and splitter share duties there.

Parker is just coasting tbh..
hes not aggressive looking for his shot at all til the 4th quarter
and you cant say he hasn't stepped up in the 4th quarters this season
hes had plenty of 12+ point 4th quarters where hes scoring like 15 of the last 16 points

the only change ive noticed in Parker so far is that he isn't getting as much separation coming off pick and rolls and a lot of times when hes going into his mid range shot he has to pass it up back to Duncan because he knows the guy is right behind him ready to block his shots
If Duncan is hitting his mid ranges again though it should start creating more separation since people have to respect Duncan

[ace3g]

Mike Monroe @Monroe_SA
(https://twitter.com/Monroe_SA)Tony Parker will play for Spurs vs. Thunder tonight

but ....



Dan McCarney @danmccarneysaen
(https://twitter.com/danmccarneysaen)No kawhi tonight, dental procedure. Parker back.

[itzsoweezee]

damnit. i really want the spurs to beat a good team. no kawhi, no chance.

[Robz4000]

:lol Durant going for 50+ tonight

[ace3g]

call back Malcolm Thomas

:lmaowow

[BatManu20]

No Kawhi, no shot tbh. Might as well rest the Big 3 again.

[Hoops Czar]

Hockey players lose teeth during games and Keep playing. Leonard will miss a game because of a Dental procedure? Talk about coddling.

[siraulo23]

Well shit i expect durant to go 1029393 points

[timtonymanu]

The Spurs have beaten OKC short handed before so they still have a chance.

Odd thing about Leonard but it isn't a concerning injury at least.

[timtonymanu]

EDIT

[spurs10]

Marco at 2 Danny at at 3??

[RD2191]

Well shit i expect durant to go 1029393 points
:lol

[ajballer4]

No Whi kills. There's absolutely nobody else to guard Leonard. I would say there's a better chance of winning with Parker out than Leonard not the other way around

[Bruno]

Wow, it sucks. It will hard to win without Kahwi.

Kawhi not being available might highlight Spurs' lack of a secondary option to throw at a player like Durant.

And it's important for an athlete to have good teeth health. As surprising as it sounds, teeth issues as an aggravating factor for injuries like tendinitis.

[james evans]

leonard out for his teeth? wtf?

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

fuck it start manu and put him on durant

[RD2191]

Shoulda kept Thomas on the bench.

[timtonymanu]

Green will guard Durant or even Boris.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Actually, strike that. They should put Diaw on him

[james evans]

fuck it start manu and put him on durant

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm9Y-vqZsEo

[r0drig0lac]

No Kawhi, no shot tbh. Might as well rest the Big 3 again.
this

[Robz4000]

Only guy after Leonard that even has a ghost if a chance is Diaw, and he's prolly the most gassed person on the roster. Really, really bad timing for Leonard to be out.

[james evans]

i'm thinking popovich is behind this. i feel he's just playing chess again.

[apalisoc_9]

sucks because kawhi is averaging 19 and 9 against the thunder the last four games..

[gnsf0946]

that's what you get when you let Amuseddaysleeper to start the game thread tbh

[RD2191]

put mills on him just for laughs

[Robz4000]

Honestly their entire defensive gameplan should be to just shutdown everyone except Durant. He could still win the game by himself (considering Abaka will prolly put up 30/20 per par no matter what the Spurs do) but maybe he'll have a poor shooting night.

exactly ibaka will complete dirk against the Spurs even triple marking, so it is

[RD2191]

:lmao

[ace3g]

Didn't realize Kawhi had teeth, tbh...

[bklynspursfan]

Start Ayres @ the 5, bring Diaw in to cover Durant. Splitter can come off the bench. He should fit in nicely with Belli-Nobili

[PlayNando]

CIA Pop alert.

[boutons_deux]

give Kawhi some "hillbilly heroin" and suit him up

[spurs10]

give Kawhi some "hillbilly heroin" and suit him up
I'm not sure what that is, but it sounds like a damn good idea!

[Chomag]

Must have been wisdom teeth or something of that nature. Not sure why it couldn't have been done on an off game night though.

[GB20]

[QUOTE=gnsf0946;7022931]that's what you get when you let Amuseddaysleeper to start the game thread tbh[/QUOTE
we need to hang this guy from the ball

[LakerHater]

Leonard’s surprise omission from Saturday night’s game doesn’t shake things up from Oklahoma City’s perspective, according to Thunder coach Scott Brooks. “It doesn’t change what we do,” Brooks said. “We still have to do a lot of things well to beat a great team on their home floor.”

[crc21209]

What a bummer. Takes the excitement out of the game for me...:td

[PlayNando]

What a bummer. Takes the excitement out of the game for me...:td
We'll win, anyways.

[TXstbobcat]

leonard out for his teeth? wtf?


He is getting all his teeth Capped in gold. :rollin

[ace3g]

Stephen Anderson @andersonstevem
(https://twitter.com/andersonstevem)As I predicted, Marco Bellineli will get the start in place of Kawhi Leonard. #SpursNation (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23SpursNation)

[Bruno]

Didn't realize Kawhi had teeth, tbh...

:lol

[bklynspursfan]

With Marco getting the start, hopefully it's green who guards Durant. Can't afford Marco to get into foul trouble.

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs were probably going to lose with Tony returning anyways, tbh, I don't think he's at the level the Spurs need him to be right now, he should be resting, he's worn down..with Leonard out, it's going to be a huge uphill climb tonight..

[TXstbobcat]

Damn. League pass is showing the okc broadcast.

Marco on fire!!!

[Raven]

not sure why people still leave belinelli so wide open..

[bklynspursfan]

So much for thinking Green would play better @ home. Thank god Manu is coming in.

[313]

marco omfg

[loveforthegame]

Marco was born to play with the Spurs. :tu

[r0drig0lac]

belli is a perfect player for this system spurs, so many free kicks and excellent %

[PlayNando]

We don't need Kawhi. We have King Belli.

[Mal]

We coulda have signed Neal or Kirilenko :(((

[RD2191]

not sure why people still leave belinelli so wide open..
stfu tp9

[Johnsyounger]

Marco is an animal. He's clearly a Neal upgrade...

[Captivus]

That foul...smh...kmon, he pushed Parker.

[testies]

Il Profeta Belinelli

[GB20]

marco should be in the starer lineup the tony ,leonard , tiago and timmy

We don't need Kawhi. We have King Belli.

Spursssssssssssssssss must win this game

[TXstbobcat]

Marco Polo is the best player on the planet right now

[PlayNando]

King BelBelli doing good work against Durant on D.

Wtf, Timmy board hands!

[RD2191]

Bullshit

[Raven]

belinelli getting hot, worst possible thing that could happen

[cutewizard]

Lol @ okc announcers. Spurs can't play for 48 minutes

[cutewizard]

tinme out

[Amuseddaysleeper]

If Parker keeps this up Spurs will lose by 20

[bklynspursfan]

So westbrook can plow into TP and get an and 1 but Parker can't get FT's.... BTW, I got stuck with these OKC announcers. Their take on the Spurs is pretty bad, as usual.

[PlayNando]

Tony has been God awful so far tbh.

[Johnsyounger]

So far Durant contained pretty well........

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Tony sucks so far offensively.
and hes letting westbrook get to the basket too easy.

[Captivus]

That would have been FTs for OKC...for Parker...no.

[Cry Havoc]

Parker getting to the rim, he'll make those shots if he continues to do that.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[PlayNando]

So far Durant contained pretty well........
King Belli and Danny have done well, tbh.

[cutewizard]

fuck tony

[Spursfanfromafar]

Danny Green has regressed this year. Sad.

[LakerHater]

BOBO!

[Ice009]

Tony playing like a fucking dog out there.

[TXstbobcat]

Diaw!!!

[Fireball]

All these chippies never go in against OKC ... I hate that

[LakerHater]

damn

[cutewizard]

i hate Green when he is not hitting those shots

[LakerHater]

Movin screen!!

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Spurs offense doesn't look to good..
they can go on a big run any second

[TXstbobcat]

Parker is ice cold

[Blizzardwizard]

And the obligatory opposition player to go off against the Spurs is....Jackson?

[LakerHater]

TIAGO!!!!

[313]

bad spacing, it's like these guys don't know where to be

[Mal]

Perkins is useless piece of crap

[TXstbobcat]

Splitter!!

[PlayNando]

Tiago. :tu

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Danny Green is just so so so bad

[LakerHater]

414576388444651521

[boutons_deux]

shoot 34% and still be tied, I'll take it

[Raven]

bad spacing, it's like these guys don't know where to be

agree

[Robz4000]

Spurs need to find offense outside Marco. D hasn't been bad but OKC has much more balanced scoring.

[PlayNando]

DANNY bricking (and air balling) shots against OKC, per par.

[Johnny RIngo]

This is not Tony's year. Unable to effectively run the offense for the starting unit. Getting outplayed by every top tier PG in head-to-head matchups. Not even top 5 in his position either.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Green looks like hes scared that durants gunna block his shot, every shot so far

[PlayNando]

King Belli is the only reason we're in the game tbh.

[dorrrr]

Worst quarter of the season so far by spurs. miracle that it's tied.

[mute]

yet another game 6 and 7 commericals

another though, can we please get rid of these atrocious grey uniforms

[Captivus]

Kmon Green...confidence, you can hit those 3pointers, you know it.

[bklynspursfan]

TP is rusty... He'll get it going. Wish i could say the same for Green.

[313]

Green looks like hes scared that durants gunna block his shot, every shot so far
He rimmed out one good look but the other two were unbalanced (the one he caught in the corner and the step back)

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Pick it up Spurs, or these dudes are gunna go up like 15 fast.

[LakerHater]

Nice giv & Go!

[TXstbobcat]
