Game 33: Knicks @ Spurs - Thursday, January 2nd 7:30pm (CST)

[DPG21920]

Timmy just getting bullied. Blue print right now IMO..If I am playing Tim, I am roughing him up and making the refs call it. Not only will it frustrate him a little, but will probably take it's toll on his body.

[Budkin]

Belli gonna win us this game.

[boutons_deux]

MB 21, rest of starters, 20

[Cry Havoc]

Belli gonna win us this game.

Someone else needs to start hitting.

Parker really isn't looking like himself. I almost think Pop should give him a couple weeks off.

[TheGoldStandard]

Curry 35 pts and 12 assists against the Heat. Must feel good to have an elite point guard. Instead, we have Tony Parker.

Spurs are sans elite everything.

[Spurs Brazil]

we can't get a stop. defense is pathetic

[Libri]

Tiago!

Tiago scoring against Bargnani in no way means he has grown some balls. :lol

[Captivus]

Beli is enfuego.

Beli esta en llamas. :toast

[Cry Havoc]

Curry 35 pts and 12 assists against the Heat. Must feel good to have an elite point guard.

And our bench beat Curry and the Warriors. In Oracle. So I'm not sure what your point is.

[bklynspursfan]

i anticipate we get a lot of fouls in our favor in the 4th. NY has been getting the benefit.

[Libri]

Curry 35 pts and 12 assists against the Heat. Must feel good to have an elite point guard.

Yes!! My fantasy team needed it.

[RD2191]

wtf kind of defense was that? smh

[Darius Bieber]

And our bench beat Curry and the Warriors. In Oracle. So I'm not sure what your point is.

Correct, the Spurs bench did. Not Tony Parker, our "elite" Point Guard who our OP was referring to.

[Cry Havoc]

Bama gives up 24 points in the first half... speaking of no D. haha.

[RD2191]

:lmaoSpurs getting jobbed

[rayjayjohnson]

baseline bums?

baseline fatasses more like.

:lol spurfans

[TheGoldStandard]

Dick Bavetta needs to get the shingles

[RD2191]

:bang

[Johnny RIngo]

And our bench beat Curry and the Warriors. In Oracle. So I'm not sure what your point is.

Yes, because Tony Parker wasn't out there to muck up the offense like he has all season.

[Cry Havoc]

Correct, the Spurs bench did. Not Tony Parker, our "elite" Point Guard who our OP was referring to.

Obviously there is something wrong with Tony. He's either tired or hurt.

I bet when Curry has a few off games the Warrior fans don't start talking shit about how much he sucks, because they know how to appreciate their players in Oakland.

[Libri]

Come on JR! Give me some damn 3s. :/

[spurspokesman]

Manu

[RD2191]

2011 all over again. I don't like the way the Spurs are winning games. Still early but not that early.

[Cry Havoc]

Holy shit Manu. Fucking vintage. Haven't seen him play like this in a long, long time.

[313]

Knicks hustling a lot more than us

[rayjayjohnson]

:lol missed the freebie

[Libri]

Manu

[boutons_deux]

spurs suck

losing first 3 qtrs

[313]

50/50 balls killing us

[Darius Bieber]

Down 10 to one of the worst teams in the League AT HOME.. :lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

[Captivus]

VERDE WILL SAVE US!!

[Proxy]

Manu looks better this year, physically. Doesn't seem as frail as last year.

[Libri]

this is shit :/

[polandprzem]

Spurs D suck big time, along with the rebs

[Cry Havoc]

Kawhi Tim and Tiago -- 3 of our starters -- have combined for a whopping total of 11 points.

And this board still wants to blame Tony for everything.

[Budkin]

This is fucking bullshit. You can't give away these games. We're going to have a hard enough time getting home court as it is. ::bang

[Expert]

if anyone tries to tell me that Tony Parker and his greed isnt costing this team this game your full of shit. He never passes the ball to Marco even though marco was red hot. Now Marco has cooled down but its too late.

[Robz4000]

What an ugly, ugly game...

[testies]

why have we played better with Patty in the last weeks?

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs defense is a JOKE

[KaiRMD1]

Man if we lose tonight ........ :lmao

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

wtf is going on ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????/

[Cry Havoc]

if anyone tries to tell me that Tony Parker and his greed isnt costing this team this game your full of shit. He never passes the ball to Marco even though marco was red hot. Now Marco has cooled down but its too late.

:lmao

No one else on the team even wants the ball aside from Manu and Marco.

[Captivus]

4 minutes with bonus...

[Johnny RIngo]

Obviously there is something wrong with Tony. He's either tired or hurt.

I bet when Curry has a few off games the Warrior fans don't start talking shit about how much he sucks, because they know how to appreciate their players in Oakland.

I appreciated Tony's play the last two years. Called him the best point guard in the league. But his decision to play for France was irresponsible and has resulted in an overall decline in his play this season. He's even admitted he's exhausted a few weeks ago.

[Expert]

Bill Lands "Udrah"

[Reck]

Holy shit, unreal. Down double digits to the fucking Knicks.

[Expert]

here we go. Now we have a friend killer in the game maybe we can catch up.

[Spurs Brazil]

Parker should play some D; Beno is killing him

[Cry Havoc]

Playing for your country is a huge honor. I don't know how you can blame him for wanting to do so. I would have preferred him not to play but I can't say I wouldn't want to do the same thing in his shoes.

[Budkin]

Beno eating TP alive. Good Lord.

[Cry Havoc]

Hopefully this will be a wake up call. Team needs to play with some pride.

[timtonymanu]

Beno eating TP alive. Good Lord.

Every PG has killed TP this year, tbh.

[Proxy]

wtf was that

[Budkin]

Holy shit, unreal. Down double digits to the fucking Knicks.

Kind of like the Kings game the other night. Sad we'll have to fight our way out at home.

[Expert]

we're not going to go with what works, we're going to go with Tim make it or break it.

[Cry Havoc]

Beno eating TP alive. Good Lord.

6 points = eating someone alive now. :lol

[Darius Bieber]

Playing for your country is a huge honor. I don't know how you can blame him for wanting to do so. I would have preferred him not to play but I can't say I wouldn't want to do the same thing in his shoes.

The honor part is true, but ultimately the Spurs are paying him and he's under contract for the Spurs. Take a look at Manu. He took the summer off and his play has greatly increased since last season.

[boutons_deux]

knicks 5-9 on the road

[polandprzem]

Hopefully this will be a wake up call. Team needs to play with some pride.

Wasn't you a promoter of the not important games

[Budkin]

6 points = eating someone alive now. :lol

Considering it's Beno...

[Darius Bieber]

6 points = eating someone alive now. :lol

Beno does have more assists than Parker does. And only 3 fewer points.

[DPG21920]

Spurs have been pretty bad at home. The record is good at home, but not as strong as you would hope and even some of the wins have been poorly played.

[Libri]

good job by Manu

[Cry Havoc]

Considering it's Beno...

He averages 6.1 ppg this year.

[Expert]

I've never seen anyone who bites on a shot fake like Danny.

[apalisoc_9]

why is belli not getting touches in the 3rd?

[TheGoldStandard]

Well this is a wash.

[DPG21920]

Spurs need a little run here. Have to close out strong. Go to Manu and Beli.

[Cry Havoc]

Holy crap, 31-17 Oklahoma over Bama at the half. :wow

[RD2191]

:lol

[DPG21920]

What.A.Pass :wow

[Cry Havoc]

I've never seen anyone who bites on a shot fake like Danny.

Well, he hasn't kicked anyone in the face yet. :lol

[313]

Vintage pass

[Cry Havoc]

Great hard finish too.

MANU TO GREEN!!!!

[DPG21920]

I would have punched Ayres if he gave up the and-1

[jeebus]

Thank jeebus Ayres is out. Holy fuck he looked so bad.

[TheGoldStandard]

Thank god danny made that he took off a bit too soon

[Cry Havoc]

I would have punched Ayres if he gave up the and-1

Dude would swing at you a bunch and miss, but you'd die if he ever hit you, he's still a big dude. :lol

[DPG21920]

Dude would swing at you a bunch and miss, but you'd die if he ever hit you, he's still a big dude. :lol

I'm not saying I would beat him up :lol I was speaking figuratively.

[RD2191]

:lol

[Johnny RIngo]

double post

[DPG21920]

Where is the damn clown music? What the hell is going on?

[Libri]

Oh how I wish JR would start chucking shots. :depressed

[timtonymanu]

I keep hoping Ayres would show some signs of breaking out, but he just keeps looking like shit.

I'm kinda hoping at this point that we don't trade Bonner if Ayres is the alternate.

[RD2191]

I wonder what would happen if the Spurs shot a 3 on every possession? It would be fun to watch.

[Expert]

odds are that the Knicks cannot hold on in the 4th quarter because they're not a good team. However the Spurs could defy those odds.

[Robz4000]

Hopefully Leonard starts the fourth and finds his offense.

[Expert]

I hope he breaks out as well. I hope he breaks out of the team out of the stadium and out of the country that would be nice.

[jeebus]

I keep hoping Ayres would show some signs of breaking out, but he just keeps looking like shit.


That's enough out of you.

He has zero offensive moves and he's probably 50% on the year when dunking. Let's not even talk about his d:lolf:lolnse.

[RD2191]

Oh how I wish JR would start chucking shots. :depressed
With the way the Spurs are playing D right now he'd probably make them all.

[Cry Havoc]

I wonder what would happen if the Spurs shot a 3 on every possession? It would be fun to watch.

Ever heard of Grambling in college hoops? Look them up.

[timtonymanu]

That's enough out of you.

:lol I have to hope he looks good since Pop loves playing him all the time.

[ace3g]

Patty!!!

[weebo]

Another poor 3rd quarter defensively for the Spurs and against a pathetic Knick team no less. Last year coming out of the break the Spurs were giving up 23 points to opponents. This year they're giving up 33 points on average.

[RD2191]

BULLSHIT CALL

[Johnny RIngo]

-12 for Parker tonight. Worst on the team. We might actually win this one if we keep his ass glued to the bench

[Expert]

that was a charge

[rayjayjohnson]

'g'day mate'?

damn spurfans, your announcers are some massive fags

[jeebus]

:lol I have to hope he looks good since Pop loves playing him all the time.

Fuck that. I cheer against him every time.

[Robz4000]

:lmao these refs are horrendous

[Cry Havoc]

That was a charge but it was really close. Not a horrible call, just a bad one.

[atoyotagaspedal]

based splitter

[RD2191]

:lolWill do.

[ace3g]

good ball movement

[DPG21920]

Clown Music.

[timtonymanu]

-12 for Parker tonight. Worst on the team. We might actually win this one if we keep his ass glued to the bench

Odds are Hero will come in and shoot us out of the game.

[Johnny RIngo]

Ginobili +12 with nine assists tonight. Crazy what a playmaker can do for your team

[Cry Havoc]

:lolWill do.

I think for a season they averaged like 187 points per game. Unreal.

[ace3g]

Amare lobs don't work anymore

[DPG21920]

Manu is doing everything. Keep going to him.

[atoyotagaspedal]

fucking ginobili

[apalisoc_9]

" that's what we need to see, we haven't seen that the whole game"

Parker....

[timtonymanu]

Manu 3's aren't going in right now. Ugh.

[Expert]

manu too much of a hurry

[weebo]

bench trying to bring them back…

[DPG21920]

That was a very good look by Manu, just couldnt knock it down. Probably a little tired from doing everything.

[spurspokesman]

Manu gunning lol

[KaiRMD1]

Gino imitating Kobe, chucking us out of the game

[jeebus]

'g'day mate'?

damn spurfans, your announcers are some massive fags

bench + splitter >>> starters

[RD2191]

I think for a season they averaged like 187 points per game. Unreal.
Wtf? That's incredible. :lol

[Expert]

the Spurs were getting to the line on every trip. Then they started settling for long outside shots.

[spurspokesman]

Sheesh we can't get over the hump

[polandprzem]

That was a very good look by Manu, just couldnt knock it down. Probably a little tired from doing everything.
He's not doing everything :0

It's typical mad-manu

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker 4-10
Manu - 4-11

:tu

Parker: 5 assists
Ginobili: 10 assists

[RD2191]

BK up 4 in OKC with 1:30 to go. This is not a joke.

[Libri]

Knicks paying Amare $21 million. :lol

[LkrFan]

Brooklyn up on the ThundeR. 0:51 ticks left. :wow

nice fucking pass

:wow

[ace3g]

what a pass

[313]

Beautiful

[Johnny RIngo]

Good reason to move Splitter to the bench and Diaw to the starting unit. The Belli/Green swap never was a good idea

[RD2191]

Knicks hitting fluke shots per par

[ace3g]

really Amare!!!

[timtonymanu]

Bullshit Amare

[TheGoldStandard]

Kawhi sucking it up

[RD2191]

Come on refs

[DPG21920]

TP got benched sons..

[Captivus]

13.2 remaining in OKC. OKC with the ball, 2 down.
Durant for the 3 and the win?

[spurspokesman]

Terrible

[Expert]

Danny never hits those threes when he's leaning in.

[DPG21920]

The Spurs are playing a split second too fast IMO. Need a little more control and precision.

[Johnny RIngo]

13.2 remaining in OKC. OKC with the ball, 2 down.
Durant for the 3 and the win?

More than likely a foul and free throws for the Thunder

Come on refs

The Begging! :lol

[loveforthegame]

[Expert]

we stopped moving the ball. Everyone's trying to win the game with one shot.

Amare laughing because he knows it was a fluke shot.

[Cry Havoc]

Waiting for the inevitable "TRADE DURANT" threads from OKC fans. Wait, that's only Spurstalk? ok. :depressed

[timtonymanu]

Need to sub Manu back in.

[313]

Gotta make these Kawhi

[Captivus]

Nets with the last shot, with 5.8, tied game

[Expert]

well its over now.

[ace3g]

come on Kawhi

[TheGoldStandard]

Wow kawhi really sucks tonight

[RD2191]

Kawhi in full Finals mode.

[ElNono]

There's TP... gg Knicks

[spurspokesman]

Wow kawhi fell off a cliff

[timtonymanu]

Kawhi in full Finals mode.

Finals Kawhi >>>>> This year's Kawhi

[loveforthegame]

Leonard isn't used to shooting the ball.

[TheGoldStandard]

Brooklyn with the win

[DPG21920]

Iso Joe does it again.

:lolI mean the missed free throws.

[bklynspursfan]

Dam Leonard is making me feel how I do when I see Green dribble the ball. He's really struggling, it's all mental with him

[MVPCues]

Nets won!

[Cry Havoc]

BROOKLYN WINSSSSSSS

[DPG21920]

Get stops. No TO's.

[Johnny RIngo]

Waiting for the inevitable "TRADE DURANT" threads from OKC fans. Wait, that's only Spurstalk? ok. :depressed

Durant has been a beast all season. A hiccup here or there isn't a big deal. Parker has been disappointing all year and probably not even top five in his position. Even making the Durant comparison is a joke. Durant doesn't play like shit and rely on the bench to win the Thunder games like TP has all year

[RD2191]

We have a chance to tie OKC and we're stinking it up.

[Aremid]

Okc loses tonight to Brooklyn we must get this one!

[DPG21920]

These damn shots from JR SMH

[RD2191]

Nice going Libri.

[Libri]

Wow kawhi really sucks tonight

Spurs should have kept Paul George.

[DPG21920]

Kawhi was scared.

[ace3g]

don't hesitate

[timtonymanu]

Sigh Kawhi

[TheGoldStandard]

Hahahahaha kawhi

[Budkin]

Now that the Nets have won, losing to the Knicks is going to be 100x worse.

[RD2191]

Dagger

[loveforthegame]

damn but so much good comes out of Kawhi in post

This. And yet the Spurs wait until the 2nd half or when it's too late to go to it.

[DPG21920]

Tim with the chip misses again.

[Budkin]

Spurs should have kept Paul George.

Why did we trade him anyway?

[ace3g]

Beli!!!

[Sean Cagney]

This team is a joke so far this year. Now they go lose to the KNICKS at home on top of all this crap.

[Cry Havoc]

Durant has been a beast all season. A hiccup here or there isn't a big deal. Parker has been disappointing all year and probably not even top five in his position. Even making the Durant comparison is a joke.

So let's be clear... after 12 seasons of mostly excellence, you're willing to throw someone under the bus over 30 regular season games? That's fucking PATHETIC and exemplary of what's so shitty about the attitudes that prevail here on SpursTalk.

I swear to god you guys see a player in a slump and immediately want him banished from San Antonio. Pathetic. What I said was also largely tongue in cheek, so deal with it. This isn't just about Tony either, there have been many "Trade Manu" and even some "fire Pop" threads running around that get a lot of responses.

[Captivus]

KMON PARKER!!!! KMON!!!! DO IT!! DO SOMETHING!!

[polandprzem]

Another bad decision by Kawhi - he had no legs set for this shot and still he shoots it and clangs !

[Leetonidas]

Spurs losing to the fucking Knicks at home...wtf...

[Budkin]

Hope someone told the Spurs the Thunder just lost...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

This is going to be a very very bad loss

[bklynspursfan]

Dag we gotta pull this one out with OKC losing. Doesn't look good tho. Can't get stops

Not to mention he's averaging 18 points and shooting around 50% (too lazy to check) including 43% from 3

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

if they want to win this game, they need to do something after this timeout. Get some stops.

[Budkin]

This will be 2 straight years the Knicks have beaten us at home...

[cjw]

This is going to be a very very bad loss

Nets over OKC, Knicks over Spus, Toronto over Indy. It's a loss and missed opportunity. First "bad loss" of the year.

[Libri]

Why did we trade him anyway?

Spurs FO having too much fun with Pop's wine stash.

[ace3g]

Hopefully this ends like the Kings game did.

[DPG21920]

So much time, :lol, it's not a loss yet.

[RD2191]

:lmaorefs

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Averaging 18 and 6 on 50% shooting. But yeah, you know a lot about the NBA, right? Right.

[ace3g]

!!!

[weebo]

all Manu and Belli this quarter

[313]

CMON KAWHI NO PRESSURE

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

That dude with the Career high tho

[bklynspursfan]

Wish Kawhi passed it out to a hot/wide open Marco there. It's like he's always looking to attack when he has it. Kinda forcing a bit

[spurspokesman]

Marco (mbeezy)

[DPG21920]

Manu has been a monster today. Great passes, enough aggression, wreaking havoc on defense in a timely fashion. He and Beli play surprisingly well together.

[Johnny RIngo]

So let's be clear... after 12 seasons of mostly excellence, you're willing to throw someone under the bus over 30 regular season games? That's fucking PATHETIC and exemplary of what's so shitty about the attitudes that prevail here on SpursTalk.

12 years of excellence is overrating Parker by quite a bit. He was an elite PG the last two years - best in the league possibly. But that's about it. During the 2000s, he routinely rode Tim and Manu's coattails.


I swear to god you guys see a player in a slump and immediately want him banished from San Antonio. Pathetic. What I said was also largely tongue in cheek, so deal with it. This isn't just about Tony either, there have been many "Trade Manu" and even some "fire Pop" threads running around that get a lot of responses.

Can you really blame the fans when they're the ones paying for the players salary? If I'm a Spurs fan I expect the players to show up well rested instead of playing their best basketball for their national teams.

[NASpurs]

det dude, King Beli doing work.

[Expert]

Marco is thinking I should have been here my entire career.
