OKC loses to Toronto at home; Reggie Jackson goes 1-11

[SpursFan86]

Not sure whether to laugh or be annoyed at the fact that Reggie Jackson has looked like fucking MJ in the two games he's played against us, yet manages to go 1-11 with 3 TOs the following game against Toronto.

Well, at least OKC lost :toast

edit: oh, and one more thing...OKC went 35-36 from the FT line.

[benefactor]

The Spurs really need to convince the Raps that they don't need Amir Johnson.

This is why you dont put much stock on RS games. All of a sudden when the Spurs lose to the Thunder, Spurfans want to trade everyone and panic.

I wonder what their thoughts of them losing to a pathetic Toronto teams have them saying now. Do they feel better about the Spurs? Do they now think Thunder are beatable? Chime in panic Spurfan. Would like to hear.

[SpursFan86]

The Spurs really need to convince the Raps that they don't need Amir Johnson.

Ayres and a 1st-round pick for Amir...sounds fair, right?

But seriously, Amir has really broken out since Rudy got traded. Amazing what getting rid of an inefficient, ball-hogging chucker can do for the players around him.

I agree but at the same time wait for the reverse spur logic 2nd night of a back to back.

Perkins-19 minutes 0 points, 3 rebounds, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls. :lol

considering Amir broke out last year when Gay was there, your comment is pretty stupid.

[Texas_Ranger]

Steve Novak with +5 in 0 minutes!!!!!

[mute]

Nick Collison and Derek Fisher too... scrubs that always show up against us... I hate it when scrubs channel their inner Jordan against us.

fisher in 2012 playoffs... oh my god, how many (timely) threes and buckets did he hit against us when we went on our runs?

[Robz4000]

Amir Johnson would be great against teams like OKC and Golden State tbh. However, Spurs desperately need a bench defender that can be put on Jackson when/if he goes off on the Spurs.

[td4mvp2k]

Raptors dont have TP tbh

The problem is when they play against us, who cares if they fall against Charlotte or Sacramento, in 7 games they could beat us, there is a thing going in the NBA where every team pokes fun at the Spurs like that asshole Batum with that stupid shot, and every team plays against us like a fucking finals game.

How do they wipe?

That's what happens when you've built the reputation as the team to beat. That's due in large part to Tony's prowess.

Fisher is one of those guys who'd make the league a better place if he tore an ACL and retired.

A confirmed scumbag.

[SpursFan86]

Dude is averaging 18 and 11 in the 7 games since Gay left and is playing more minutes than ever. And that's playing against teams like OKC, Chicago, Charlotte, and us...all elite defenses. He didn't really break out last year...he was productive in the minutes he got, and people started thinking he COULD break out if given the opportunity.

Rudy was holding him back. Him and DeRozan are both top 10 in the league in FGA per game. Now that Gay is gone, some of those 18 FGA can go elsewhere (like to Amir). I'm not saying Gay leaving is the sole reason he's breaking out, but it's really not hard to see it's having a positive effect on Amir. Did you watch Toronto with Gay? They had no ball movement whatsoever. Now their offense actually resembles an...offense.

[td4mvp2k]

How do they wipe?like rj n rw in his azz tbh

[Mikeanaro]

Lol, enough with Porky man, every team squeeze our balls and we make horrible passes no rebounds and awful shots and dudes like Green and Kawhi are dead, they have no respect at all but when they play fake assed Miami everybody uses more selected shots and strategies.

[.G.]

I think this can be attributed to niggaz getting hyped up to play the Spurs. Hence you often see no-name scrubs hitting career highs when they play SAS.
Can be viewed as a compliment

[TheGoldStandard]

Probably helps that Toronto doesn't send 2 guys to anyone who has the ball and give up wide open 3s

[look_at_g_shred]

:lmao

[th3answ3r]

i have to disagre. Amir was so fed up with gay that he asked to come off the bench (more touches). Coincidentally, the day gay gets traded, he drops a career high 32 against the lakers.

[Reck]

Spurs also underestimate their oponents at times which is why they get caught off guard alot of the times.

One could take the Lakers of old. You can say the same about other teams wanting to come up big against them. They often failed because them Lakers used to shut them down with the quickness.

[freetiago]

Its been a trend where a team plays us then gets shitted on the next night by a terrible team
happened to Indiana and Houston also after playing us

[jesterbobman]

Not like it's a shock that Amir Johnson is good. Problem is that his increased role has made how good he is clear as it appears in the box score, rather than just plus minus numbers. Means it'll take more to get him. Corey, Bonner a first, for Amir works. Could even get Philly to take on Bonner for a second in 2015 or something(As they're under the minimum, paying him doesn't cost the Philly owners anything)

[cjw]

I agree but at the same time wait for the reverse spur logic 2nd night of a back to back.

Our two losses to them have been after second night of B2B and without Leonard (several other losses without Splitter). Can't overreact to any one game.

Just like they got the Pacers after beating us the night before, hopefully we even that score with Toronto being exhausted tomorrow night

[Hoops Czar]

Making a big to do about nothing. I really think OKC feels emotionally destroyed after losing to the lowly Raptors. I would gladly trade in a loss or two against cellar dwellers for some wins against some elite.

Once again another negative post by you on the Spurs, yet your team is the Cavs..... Do you not have your own problems with your team to talk about or is it that boring 100% of the time to always shit on our fave team in here?

You don't know me at all. My favorite team is the Utah Jazz with the Bobcats being a close second. My all-time favorite player is Steven Adams. Remember him? The guy who p'wned Splitter.

Edit: HH37 is a Heat fan with the favorite team name being the Spurs. You're reading too much into things.

Edit 2: Yes, bad losses lead to negative posts.

I was jut thinking the same thing.

BTW I am suspicious that Kawhi Leonard's dental emergency that caused him to sit the OKC game was Coach Popovich not wanting OKC to get a real look at what they would face in the playoffs.

[SpursFan86]

BTW I am suspicious that Kawhi Leonard's dental emergency that caused him to sit the OKC game was Coach Popovich not wanting OKC to get a real look at what they would face in the playoffs.

Considering he's still questionable for tonight's game, and we already played OKC with Kawhi earlier in the year...I doubt it.

Reggie Jackson still had a positive plus minus... That guy is a scary addition no matter how you put it.

[SpursFan86]

Yeah, I'm definitely not happy with how quickly he's progressed. I honestly wasn't scared at all of OKC coming into this season because I figured with the loss of Kevin Martin they'd have no bench scoring. Wasn't expecting Jackson (and to a lesser extent, Lamb) to play this well.

Though I do think Pop should've put Mills on Jackson more. Maybe I'm not remembering things correctly, but I seem to recall Mills guarding Fisher mostly, which is a waste of his aggressive on-ball defense. I think Mills could do a solid job pestering Jackson. Then just have someone else (Belinelli/Ginobili) make sure they stick with Lamb on the perimeter and don't let him get open looks...he's a killer from 3 if you lose him on the perimeter.
