Game 30: Spurs @ Mavericks -- Thursday, Dec 26, 7:30PM (CST)

[TampaDude]

Kawhi Wawhi!

[Kyuui-Musikq]

and this is the reason coaches cant ask for replays. Sometimes the NBA doesnt want the best team to win.

Money reigns all

[TampaDude]

So nice to see this team focus after such a shitty loss.

^ this

[Cry Havoc]

even so, my comments still apply to the way you approached his post. It's just childish to be dismissive and be adamantly abrasive to make it seem like your right, bar none, without providing any logical argument

So if he suggested that Jason Kidd is a better coach than Popovich, it would be childish to dismiss his post out of hand?

No. You bring shit takes into a game thread with no analysis behind it, I'm going to laugh my ass off at it.

You want to bring an in-depth argument, be my guest, I will entertain it. He typed a SINGLE sentence and you're lambasting me for not arguing against it logically? Get the fuck out of here.

[timtonymanu]

So nice to see this team focus after such a shitty loss.

Not to be a downer but this needs to translate against the more elite teams of the league. I thought the team had momentum after the Suns/Warriors games, but they laid an egg against OKC and Houston.

[Raven]

Hater has been quiet lately tbh :lol

[Cry Havoc]

I never understand why Dirk isn't taking every shot until they can stop him. He comes out, gets to the line, makes shots, then they bench him.

But they've got Monta and Vince Carter! They have a veritable all star duo there! :lol

[.G.]

Nice defense by Splitter, definitely altered Dirks shot

[Cry Havoc]

Nice defense by Splitter, definitely altered Dirks shot

Diaw has been a monster against Dirk tonight.

[loveforthegame]

No comment.

[Cry Havoc]

Tony with a bailout shot. Whew, that was big.

[RD2191]

Oh come on. Don't let them back in this late in the game. Smh.

[Cry Havoc]

I don't understand how Dirk doesn't still average 30 points per game. He should literally shoot all day e'er day. Such a sweet stroke.

[.G.]

Fuck, TP9 should've ran some offense there

[PlayNando]

Parker garbage hero 6-16 pos chucker 3 assists lmao this is our pg?

[DapDaGenius]

Das wha hapinz ween ya haf stooped turnovas.

[PlayNando]

parker hero 3 assists 4 turnovers :lol at this clown

[DMC]

Figured when Tim came back, the Spurs would give up some points.

[PlayNando]

GTFO PARKER U POS

[Cry Havoc]

Parker garbage hero 6-16 pos chucker 3 assists lmao this is our pg?

We should put Nando in, I hear that guy was amazing in the D league. :lmao

[Raven]

this was pathetic

[bbarry]

15 pt lead down to 6 in a blink of an eye. WOW

[Holden_Caulfield]

Not just 19.

He has 19 on SIX SHOTS. Can't get more efficient than that without moving to Oklahoma City and developing a bunch of acne.
:rollin

[RD2191]

:wow

[itzsoweezee]

wow, tony parker

[apalisoc_9]

One on One basketball :lmao

[HI-FI]

Parker already in playoff mode with this shit.

[PlayNando]

parker 1 on 1 hero ball

[.G.]

10-0 run by dal...fuck
Make that 12-0

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK You Tony

PASS THE DAMN BALL

[RD2191]

Not sure if Game 6 or regular season against Dallas.

[PlayNando]

diaw wtf french players committing suicide right now

[Libri]

:bang

[Cry Havoc]

Parker got fouled harder than Ellis. :lmao

[RD2191]

Well that escalated quickly. :wakeup

[bbarry]

spurs completely turned it off when they went up 15. they thought they could cruise mode this shit the rest of the way.

[Johnny RIngo]

Bench builds a double digit lead. French Iverson comes in and fucks it all up

[TampaDude]

...aaaaand just like that, the choke is on. Told y'all.

[Chomag]

well shit...

[Darius McCrary]

This team is venturing towards embarrassment levels.

I don't think there's any question the Finals have ruined this team.

[itzsoweezee]

6 for 17, 4 turnovers.

[DapDaGenius]

15 pt lead down to 6 in a blink of an eye. WOW

3 now. It's like we learned nothing from Game 6.

[timtonymanu]

Tony Parker should not make the All-Star team. He's been killing the Spurs lately.

[DMC]

So this is where Tim comes in and gives up a 9 point run.

I said

[Captivus]

I don't understand how Dirk doesn't still average 30 points per game. He should literally shoot all day e'er day. Such a sweet stroke.

Season FG%
Dallas Team 46%
Dirk 49%

Why not! :wakeup

[loveforthegame]

Leonard sucks.

[TheGoldStandard]

Diaw with the crappy pass

[Juggity]

This team is venturing towards embarrassment levels.

I don't think there's any question the Finals have ruined this team.

nah

[.G.]

Diaw has been a monster against Dirk tonight.
Agree, just need to settle down with the fucking TOs....ridiculous

[PlayNando]

spurs completely turned it off when they went up 15. they thought they could cruise mode this shit the rest of the way.
more like tony decided to start going hero every possession that selfish mfer

[DMC]

At least it's not 28 seconds.

[Spurs Brazil]

Dallas put the zone and Spurs got lost

[Cry Havoc]

This team is venturing towards embarrassment levels.

I don't think there's any question the Finals have ruined this team.

Man, yeah, it's rough having a 76% winning percentage. :lmao

[Cry Havoc]

7 games in 10 nights, people. The Spurs would have been tired in 05 with this schedule.

[DMC]

You guys want to ignore that Tim slows it down too much and causes turnovers.

[.G.]

Man, yeah, it's rough having a 76% winning percentage. :lmao
:lol

[PlayNando]

i cant believe we are seeing this shat for tp9 again per par

[Johnny RIngo]

Dallas put the zone and Spurs got lost

Parker's inability to run the offense on display...again.

[DMC]

7 games in 10 nights, people. The Spurs would have been tired in 05 with this schedule.

Quit your whining

[PlayNando]

going to timmy :tu and we start scoring gtfo parker hero ball

[Raven]

i can't believe green is out tbh

[Cry Havoc]

Quit your whining

Sorry, I'll try to keep it down. :lol

[007nites]

Tammy!

[spurtech09]

why do the refs always bailout the other team

[Cry Havoc]

i can't believe green is out tbh

Pop doesn't care about regular season games.

[TampaDude]

Timmy! Timmy!

[PlayNando]

timmy taking over

faker parker pos hero ball tried to lose it, but timmy saves us per par

[Darius McCrary]

holy shit

[Johnny RIngo]

Duncan/Ginobili bailing out Parker just like in the old days

[PlayNando]

danny :tu nice find from timmy

[timtonymanu]

Verde!!!!

[ace3g]

!!!!

[spurtech09]

danny green shuts up the fans

[007nites]

Timmy

[TampaDude]

Danny!!!

[PlayNando]

timvp :tu

[Staplepuffs27]

TIMMY BLOCK

[.G.]

The collective groan of the AA center as the ball worked its way to Green :lol

[timtonymanu]

Don't give the ball to Hero and the Spurs start executing again.

[RD2191]

Gaw dammit Spurs, almost choked on a damn Cheetoh.

[PlayNando]

danny is playing well off the bench tbh.. maybe we should keep him there

[Cry Havoc]

GREEN

[TampaDude]

TIMMAY!!!

[Kyuui-Musikq]

So if he suggested that Jason Kidd is a better coach than Popovich, it would be childish to dismiss his post out of hand?

No. You bring shit takes into a game thread with no analysis behind it, I'm going to laugh my ass off at it.

You want to bring an in-depth argument, be my guest, I will entertain it. He typed a SINGLE sentence and you're lambasting me for not arguing against it logically? Get the fuck out of here.

So someone suggesting Pop might be taking the side over Saint Parker over Kawhi Leonard despite his obvious bad play calling this game isn't something that should be called into question? It might have been a single statement but it logic that had cultivated after an assortment of posts by different ppl commenting on Parker and Leonard. So don't give me shit because I call you out out on your ego, which is very evident. Lol. The only lambasting is you TELLING me to GTFO? Only a troll who's settled in very well would have the audacity to have such an attitude and your not the only one.

[TheGoldStandard]

This Danny should have showed up last night. Hopefully he shows up against Portland

[$pursDynasty]

how does TP describe Timmay when he is like this? VINTAGE!

[spurtech09]

green finally getting is mojo back

[PlayNando]

off of parker smh

[PlayNando]

parker losing calderon per par

[ace3g]

Parker, lol

[BatManu20]

Hero ball

[Johnny RIngo]

off of parker smh

Can't do anything right tonight

[PlayNando]

FK PARKER WTF HERO POS NO PASSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spurtech09]

parker is stinking it up

[BatManu20]

Smart play Manu

[RD2191]

Geez, Parker is killing us.

[PlayNando]

manu :tu

[.G.]

Fuck yeah Gino!!!! Smart play

[Cry Havoc]

Saint Parker

If you knew anything about the Spurs, you would know that Popovich has been on Tony's case since day 1. Pop has ALWAYS gotten in Tony's grill. Hell, the Dallas broadcasting crew was just commenting about how Popovich was on Parker's case IN THIS GAME. Yeah, Pop thinks he's a saint, that's why he'll yank him at a moment's notice to put Patty Mills in, a guy who could barely see garbage time for us last year. :lmao

So yeah. When you make comments that clearly establish yourself as a fan who's only been watching the Spurs for less than 2 years, and has no real knowledge of the team, or our coach, yes, I'm going to have an ego about it, because I know more than you about this team.

Now, like I said before, take your scrub takes to the trash heap where they belong. Or just shut your mouth until you learn something about basketball and this team.

[PlayNando]

manu has had a bad game too though tbh

[timtonymanu]

Hero stalls the offense again and the Mavs convert.

[Johnny RIngo]

French Iverson doing his best to lose this game

[spurtech09]

manu playing better than parker...how odd

[Raven]

pop doesn't want the green-leonard combo, this is now pretty obvious. i don't understand it though.

[TampaDude]

CLUTCH Manu!!! Ex-hale...

[crc21209]

WTF is up with Tony lately...

[PlayNando]

parker 6-18 :lol

4 turnovers :lol

3 assists :lol

32 minutes :lol

[Cry Havoc]

WTF is up with Tony lately...

Teams focusing on his dribble drive penetration, and the fact that he looks really, really gassed. Almost injured. His jumper is usually glancing off the front of the rim, indicating that he's pretty weak in the legs. I hope that's not the case and he's just tired from playing so much ball this year.

[spurtech09]

give it to manu lol

[.G.]

Aaaaaaand that's game :hat

[PlayNando]

Teams focusing on his dribble drive penetration, and the fact that he looks really, really gassed. Almost injured. I hope that's not the case and he's just tired from playing so much ball this year.

his stop and pop jump shot had disappeared too tbh

[Holden_Caulfield]

26 secs 5 pts 2 ft lol

[Cry Havoc]

Spurs fans cliff jumping in a game where we never trailed in the 2nd fucking half in one of the toughest places to play in the NBA. :lol

[TampaDude]

TP CLUTCH!!! GAME OVER!!!

[timtonymanu]

Aaaaaaand that's game :hat

After Game 6, I don't think that anymore regardless of the opponent.

[spurtech09]

tony parker seems slow

[TheGoldStandard]

Kawhi has been getting blown by way too much

[Cry Havoc]

his stop and pop jump shot had disappeared too tbh

Hahaha I edited my comment to add that in. Yeah, he just doesn't have his legs under him. Definitely forcing it. He's had some good games but like Duncan, it's just not going to be there for him every night.

[Raven]

:lol calderon

[PlayNando]

nice steal :tu

[Cry Havoc]

Kawhi has been getting blown by way too much

Whole team is exhausted. Hell of an effort tonight.

[timtonymanu]

:lol Blair
:lol circled the game
:lol empty stats
:lol still can't play defense
:lol will be out of the league soon

[spurtech09]

tp hitting his ft though

[TampaDude]

Greeeeen Steeeeeal! Game!

[Chomag]

Pop telling Tony fuk no lol

[Libri]

And the Mav fans start booing. :lol

[itzsoweezee]

Tony blatantly stat padding.

[ThaBigFundamental21]

God I hate Splitter so much.

[BatManu20]

Good Dub

[DapDaGenius]

Why wouldn't Parker shoot that?

[Johnny RIngo]

WTF is up with Tony lately...

One of these:

1) Off-season basketball taking it's toll on his body. Manu had his worst season in years after playing for Argentina in 2012. Looks likes the same thing's happened to TP.
2) He's in decline mode. Nobody beats father time.
3) Mentally given up after choking in the Finals

More than likely number 1.

[Captivus]

how many players would actually do what Tony did?

[Juggity]

Why wouldn't Parker shoot that?

run out the clock

[TheGoldStandard]

Whole team is exhausted. Hell of an effort tonight.

Sit them against Sac

[TampaDude]

Ellis loses the ball out of bounds to end it. :lol

[ElNono]

good bounce back win

[Captivus]

Good game, good night!

[Raven]

:lol Blair
:lol circled the game
:lol empty stats
:lol still can't play defense
:lol will be out of the league soon

7 offensive rebounds coupled with only two missed fg are not empty stats though.

[Chomag]

turned out to be a hell of a game.

[tim_duncan_fan]

At least we didn't lose to the Mavericks. This b2b could have been worse.

[.G.]

After Game 6, I don't think that anymore regardless of the opponent.
Yeah, I don't blame you. Although I can't say I was completely sold that night, either. Something just didn't seem right. Sometimes the universe is against you. Fuck it

[TampaDude]

And another round and round is complete.

1. OKC beats SA, TOR beats OKC, SA beats TOR

2. DAL beats HOU, HOU beats SA, SA beats DAL

Like I said, regular season (especially in December) means jack and shit.

[PlayNando]

i thought blair did actually play well tbh

[ThaBigFundamental21]

It's sad when Blair beasts against us. If you guys are happy with the effort tonight then bravo for you. I don't like what I'm seeing b2b or not. We have the same issues rebounding as last year. Parker looks awful. Timmy is clearly a step slower.

[biskvito]

Spurs with 11 FT above the home team, and % was higher too

[AchillesHeel]

we beat a playoff team on the road :cheer

Just playing into the front office's plan of showcasing his 3 ball so they can build up his value and ship his ass out.

You people need to stop. We aren't going to be able to get anything for Green that would give us more than he does. He has shit nights every couple games, but that's 100% of the team at this point. No one on the team is playing with consistency.

Green haters can suck a dick, tbh.

[Budkin]

I have to give Blair props tbh. 14 pts on 75% shooting and 11 boards is pretty solid.

Spurs win...NEXT!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[Kyuui-Musikq]

If you knew anything about the Spurs, you would know that Popovich has been on Tony's case since day 1. Pop has ALWAYS gotten in Tony's grill. Hell, the Dallas broadcasting crew was just commenting about how Popovich was on Parker's case IN THIS GAME. Yeah, Pop thinks he's a saint, that's why he'll yank him at a moment's notice to put Patty Mills in, a guy who could barely see garbage time for us last year. :lmao

So yeah. When you make comments that clearly establish yourself as a fan who's only been watching the Spurs for less than 2 years, and has no real knowledge of the team, or our coach, yes, I'm going to have an ego about it, because I know more than you about this team.

Now, like I said before, take your scrub takes to the trash heap where they belong. Or just shut your mouth until you learn something about basketball and this team.

I'm sorry your upset but, really how would you know what I know and how much more you know then me really? I was defending a hypothetical stance, because of your tasteless approach, worded in 20 words or less but you've gotten all that from it have you? My life story and all?

Are you a palm reader as well? Tea Leaves and all?

You keep up this aggressive rhetoric that your so sure makes you right but what are you really saying? Nothing. To take the fact that I said Saint Parker out of context and spin it way out of line and go on your own tangent only speaks to this horrible ego problem that you have. Your anger at being questioned is almost tangible.

I don't know where you get off...well I think it's the endless hours of trash your gargle up out of your mouth, but I think your pretty disgusting. In fairness though, your not the only one. There are a lot of ppl on this site with problems in this area and it's been addressed time and time again and ppl have come and gone because of it.

Your a desperate clown breed in the drudges of troll hell who's probably fought tooth and nail with mindless hate mongers like yourself, readied and prepared and the first sign of an insult. Proud of those 20 thou plus posts since we won our last championship are you?

[timtonymanu]

7 offensive rebounds coupled with only two missed fg are not empty stats though.

Mavs didn't win so...

[SpursRock20]

Biggest takeaway from this game is that Tiago's aggression is back. Now whether it is a product of the Mavs' lack of bigs or if Splitter is regaining his prior play before the injury remains to be seen. Looked good tonight though.

[Budkin]

Tony Parker is fucking up this team right now... not sure what's going on with him.

[apalisoc_9]

Tony Parker is fucking up this team right now... not sure what's going on with him.

Too scared of Kawhi tbh

[ThaBigFundamental21]

LMFAO. Tiago got his aggression back??? One game??? Against the Mavericks??? The night after he was rejected time and time again by Dwight and thrown around like a rag doll by all of the Rockets. Rejoice, Splitter is back!!! Whatever that means? Back to 9 ppg and 6 rebounds??? 10 million a year scrub. 28 years old? Not a kid. He sucks. IDC if sometimes plays good D. The guy is killing us and everyone here knows it.

[Cry Havoc]

Game thoughts up in a few.

[Kyuui-Musikq]

Tony Parker is fucking up this team right now... not sure what's going on with him.

Its been repeated a couple of times but I'm not sure there's been a proper thread dedicated to this, but I sincerely think the man is a little burnt out.

He didn't get a proper rest after playing the Euros and I'ts just be basketball for the guy since Sept. of '12, which is a hell of a lot.

Mental fatigue has to factor in at some point or another and someone who's been playing 100mph since he was 16 yrs old at a pro lvl, probably needs to be managed like Tim or Manu

Despite only being 31 the wear and tear on his body probably has him more near 33, 34 yrs of age, IMO.

If this is the case, were very fortunate to have someone like Patty Mills.

I sincerely hope we can add a dynamic player though. Someone. We have enough variety in our surplus that'll intrigue someone.

I wonder what sort of value Tiago has on the market

Parker should get an F in the next grades..kills other peoples confidence...What a loser.

I think it might be plausible that after living under the shadows cast by Duncan's greatness and Manu's popularity for years, combined with all the talk of Kawhi being the successor to the throne, so to speak, may have rubbed him the wrong way, given it was only last season that the media started to truly recognize his own individual greatness and the Spurs being deemed his team.

It's hard to imagine not being pissed after waiting for your due for quite some time and then everyone in the world trying to take it away so quickly.

Who knows really

Thats what I hate about him, even while I didnt watch tonight game, Manu and Tim makes everybody better and thats unselfish team playing.

Well he had 6 years to do something, now as you say he is being overshadowed.
He wont let Pop give some more minutes to Patty even if he deserves it, that his alpha male mentality, or even if doing so he gets some more fuel in the tank.
We need more Patty Mills dude is pure energy and a great scorer I hate when Pop puts Patty for 3 minutes knowing that he probably will make 8 points in such little time, then he does it and back to bench.
Then Porky gets injured late in the season and Patty doesnt feel at home playing more than he used to and full of pressure.

I agree with your points. If this is the case, if Tonys drive or ego, lol, is furthering decisions by Pop then it's truly detrimental to everything we have going for us. It would be the antithesis to what we have been known to be seen as really.

In that reality Tony wouldn't stand to be rested for games, which would allow Patty to gain the experience needed and In the games, despite Patty's good play, Tony is gonna get his minutes because Pop has to pander to his new star.

That's pretty disturbing really.

Its not as if these things don't happen in the NBA. But who knows what sort of politicking goes on beyond the scenes of an especially veiled team like the Spurs.

Again in this all conjecture, but we'll see how things progress. It's interesting to speculate. Im going to keep more of a closer eye on the body language though. It's always telling.

Lebron James will be 29 years old in a few days, he plays 40 something minutes and look how he never gets out of gas, Tony is 31 and burned like a cockroach inside a microwave, I know Lebron is using PEDs and HGH, but the fact is the dude delivers.
Everytime I see a Parker interview he talks about how he must carry the team and how he must be the leader, but this is Duncan´s team and I doubt Spurs players are seeing Pork as the one in charge, but his ego is the size of Grand Canyon.
I´ve never see him happy about others while benching either, but it could be just me.

We'll I think Tim and Pop have publicly said as much, but I could be mistaken. I think it was apparent three-four years ago team couldn't carry this team to championships, so it was a deliberate decision to say it's Tony's, as he's the only one left with the energy or talent to take them that far.

But speaking to Lebron, he's the NBA's whore, no doubt. He's hardly a basketball player. He's a running back. And he got his ring because the NBA needs a new Jordan. It's all bullshit. Marketing. Money. In what universe would 3 USA Olympians be allowed to join the same team. It's ridiculous. Stern had vetoed trades for lack of proper paper work, yet he'd let that happen? His jumper is still as inconsistent as Tony Parker's and he can't shoot free throws like an elite player.

You know what are you talking about, Stern killed the Chris Paul to Lakers deal, but had no problem with Lebron and Bosh to the Heat, I also remember Pau Gasol to the Lakers for free.

does anybody noticed what Timmy started to shave his armpits?

Stern and the NBA were owners of the Hornets. They declined the trade because it wasn't good for the Hornets as a team, as they didn't get enough back from the Lakers.

Yeah, but what about the Gasol trade? even Pop himself said Lakers got him for free.
