Game 31: Kings @ Spurs -- Sunday, Dec 29, 6:00PM (CST)

[DPG21920]

You just blew my mind with that fact. :wow

Didn't change the fact that they let these Kings team to fuck them up after being up like what? 15 or so on them?

You cant spin shit like this.

Guy - you blew your load thinking the game was over. You think you are supposed to blow every team out? What kind of idiot talks trash early, gets proven wrong, then tries to talk trash :lol Feel like I am taking crazy pills tbh..

[mvparker]

You guys seriously have shit in your eyes if you can't see Tony is coasting... For those who watched the Eurobasket this summer, he was basically playing like this until the second round ("on purpose, to save some energy" he said...). It's sad he has to do it this year for SA, but better shitting now than later...

[Captivus]

Good game, good night!

[bdictjames]

Glad to see the Spurs get a win. I was kind of shocked.. I thought the Kings would have two straight wins against the Finals teams from last year. This is a pretty solid Kings team, and Isiah Thomas is one heck of a steal by the organization. Hopefully good things are underway for them, and Rudy Gay finds a home.

Bellinelli struggled. Maybe it's time to insert Danny Green into the starting lineup, and get some shooting going.

[DPG21920]

I think TP is 70% coasting, 30% playing poorly.

[Reck]

Get the post where I said it was over. You're such a drama queen. :lol

I simply stated a fact.

I'll make it easier for you little girl..


Wow. Speechless how these dudes are playing right now. Giving 40 points per quarter is becoming the norm apparently.


LOL "good news."

There is no good news when you let a scrub team like the Kings run a train on you.

There. All facts of matter. There was no trash talk nor did you prove anyone wrong.

Kind of hard to prove someone stating a true fact, wrong.

Keep looking for arguements elsewhere little man.

[DPG21920]

Kings are terribly built IMO. They lack shooters (I mean, Jimmer & Thorton should be decent, but suck overall & McLemore has been extremely disappointing), shot blockers, defenders and play makers. Thomas is overrated, but could be a 6th man type guy.

They need some shooters and more ball handlers. Plus a better defensive C to compliment Cousins. Lots of work to do on that team.

Stating fact :lol So one really good quarter is running train? Spurs won 3 out of 4 quarters, won the game & only had 4 turn overs. They also shot 47% and had 29 assists. How is it a fact that SAC "ran a train" on the Spurs when they lost :lol?

[Budkin]

Man there's a lot of butthurt Spurs haters on here tonight. Sorry your evening was ruined. :lol

[DPG21920]

:lol saying you weren't talking trash when you mocked me by saying "good news" and then saying the Kings are "running train". Ya, that is just pure analysis and no trash talk. Then I tell you the game isn't over and that it will come down to execution towards the end and the Spurs have the edge then that exactly happens and you still try to argue :lol

:lol Fat Melo
:lol NY Logic
:lol Arguing against me

When you lose a double digit lead and are unable to stop that team from making a run and actually gaining the lead constitute a "letting them run a train on you" comment. Specially when it comes to dismall teams like the Kings.

You always have a hard time accepting you're wrong. Always thinking you're right. Nope.

:lmao tbh..

[Reck]

:lmao tbh..

Thanks for making my point.

[DPG21920]

You should ask a few posters who they think is right tbh..ST is great like that. It's a democracy.

Guy A: Says the Kings are running train on the Spurs because they won that one quarter.

Guy B: Says it's way to early to start talking and says the game will come down to late 4th Q execution and the Spurs have the edge there and that exactly happens.

Who's right tbh?

[DPG21920]

Thanks for making my point.

:lmao again, tbh..

[Reck]

:lmao again, tbh..

Again, thinking that by having the last word (post) means you're right.

Answer me this..

Did the Spurs not give up almost 40 points....again?
Did the Spur lose the lead?
Are the kings elite?

All subjects on which I commented on....which are dead on right.

Even a deadbeat like you cant dispute those facts from this game.

I already told you, I may be wrong and you may be right. Ask the people to chime in and I will live with their vote either way tbh..

No need to make this into a popularity contest. It is what it is.

Onto the next game.

[DPG21920]

Tbh, if you think so little of me, would others not as well? ST is pretty fair, you have bad takes, you get laughed at. You said my take was bad and you were just dropping straight facts and unbiased analysis tbh.

[Reck]

I dont think one way or the other about you.

Also I didn't say your take was bad..or good. I merely disagreed with one of your posts in which you then decided to attack me and making fun of me being a Knicks fan and so on.

[Gametight]

I think TP is 70% coasting, 30% playing poorly.

I agree, I would go more with 80/20 though..he has on and off streaks during games. Seems like when he wants to turn the switch from coasting to on it just isn't there 10-20% of the time. Hard to say what's going on maybe it's a nagging injury we don't know about or maybe he is trying to save some in the tank for later in the games. He has been known to run out of gas in the 4th from playing so hard in the first 3, I'm going with the latter imo. I also agree about putting Green back in the starting line up, For one Bellinelli looks so much more comfortable coming off the bench and Green's rhythm won't get back to form playing with the bench unit. He gets a lot better looks playing with the starters.Great game from Manu tonight, he has been beasting lately and it's been exciting to watch, I'm just worried about the inevitable injury that will take place between now and April in which it will take him 2 months to recover from.

[Sean Cagney]

Yup. Also wish we had last year's Parker on this year's team. FIBA basketball needs to go away.

I agree on that FIBA crap. NO rest at all screws our season for some of our international players.

[Sean Cagney]

87pts already for the Kings. This is pathetic

Our D has regressed this year, that part concerns me.

[RD2191]

Manus twins sick with the flu.

[ducks]

Only thing to be worried about is Pop's rotations, Tony's erratic play and the lack of a 3rd perimeter defender, tbh..

parker late d was great
jeff even treated how awesome his d was there late that forced the turnover
he can do it he is coasting

[313]

Our D has regressed this year, that part concerns me.

didn't get a chance to watch the game tonight but lol @ Danny Green's box score

also it looks like it defense was pretty good aside from allowing a 38 point 3rd quarter. They locked in in the 4th and only allowed 17.


What worries me about Parker is not his poor play, but his defense. Thomas hit 5 threes and I can only imagine open Tony left him. Does no one on the coach staff see what's happening out there? :lol

[ElNono]

If Tony is the guy we gotta worry about out of the big 3, then not really worried... We just need TD and Manu to stay healthy...

Thomas went off on the heat in the 4 and won the game for them
Thomas is great

Oh, yeah of course, I wasn't trying to discredit him. I actually like watching him play, but I was just saying Tony has been questionable on defense this year

[SpursIndonesia]

I don't think you understand this particular post of Duck and his insinuation. :D

[Embedded]

The Spurs looked bored tonight.

[SpursIndonesia]

double post, sorry. :D

[TampaDude]

Spurs win...NEXT!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[313]

I don't think you understand this particular post of Duck and his insinuation. :D
If I'm not mistaken he insinuated that Thomas was a great player, which i do not deny

[TXstbobcat]

24 - 7 :flag:

[Ice009]

I don't like watching him play at all. That is because every time that I do watch him, he seems to go off on us and I always wonder why the fuck the Spurs didn't draft him.

[timtonymanu]

He was the last pick in the draft so it wasn't only the Spurs that missed out.

[smaka]

Spurs 108 : 100 Kings

Pretty close actually.

[Captivus]

Missed it. What did Cousins do?

He bounced the ball hard. That should be a tech...in my mind...ha

[Legacy]

Great game. They made up for that Christmas day downer.

What worries me about Parker is not his poor play, but his defense. Thomas hit 5 threes and I can only imagine open Tony left him. Does no one on the coach staff see what's happening out there?

You can see every shot he took on nba.com stats. He hit 2 against Parker (1 open), 2 against Mills and 1 on a fastbreak.

His defense is bad this season but it's not only his fault. A good perimeter defense start with big men, ours are camping under the rim and don't even help on screen. We give the opposing PG way too much space. No point guard in this situation would be able to defend great.

Just look at Tony against Memphis. They have Conley and Allen, two elite defender yet they could never block Tony. Why ? because Randolph & Gasol don't/can't help enough. And these two are more mobile than Duncan & Splitter.
