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

[SpursRock20]

Belinelli and Manu are easily the players of the game

[cjw]

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

It's okay, he'll go one of two from the line (per usual)

[polandprzem]

Leonard is not a finisher !
wtf he is doing is beyond me



Go Spurs ! Get that win

[RD2191]

Kawhi better not brick these.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Marco

[DPG21920]

Marco the only nigga giving a fuck tonight. Tbh.

What? Manu has been playing his ass off. He is hustling, really selling out and playing with a great level of energy/focus.

[timtonymanu]

Wonder if there are any OKC fans who are saying they're going to be 1st round exits over one loss. :lol

There are some shitty Spurs fans on here, but every fanbase has stupid fans. You just happen to be on Spurstalk.

[DPG21920]

It's okay, he'll go one of two from the line (per usual)

Bet you he makes both.

[Libri]

Marco the only nigga giving a fuck tonight. Tbh.

The bearded linguini came to play.

[Proxy]

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.

find another team

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
I'm okay with that. I want Lynyrd to be very aggressive. That's more important than winning this game.

[Cry Havoc]

Miami fans complaining about Lebron going hero mode -11 too

My god. There would be so many hate threads. I think he had 9 TOs tonight. Spurs fans on this forum would want him traded for Melo or for a couple of first rounders.

[timtonymanu]

Something tells me this won't end well. Hope I'm wrong.

[Spurs9]

We better never trade Marco, easily my favorite spur. Clutch as hell

[RD2191]

Something tells me this won't end well. Hope I'm wrong.

[NASpurs]

Kawhi clutch...

[Clipper Nation]

oh stop slurping. He's a suck it up all game and now he gets one shot and you start worshiping.

Same treatment Kirby gets from his slurpers, tbh....

[DPG21920]

Bet you he makes both.

[Cry Havoc]

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.



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.

So in the past when Manu has played for his national teams and/or been awful in the playoffs, were you calling for him to be traded or blaming him for every defensive miscue? Just curious.

[Expert]

take it right at Carmelo.

[RD2191]

tf was that timmy

[TheGoldStandard]

Keep feeding marco

[DPG21920]

Sick pass TP!

[ace3g]

there we go

[Johnny RIngo]

My god. There would be so many hate threads. I think he had 9 TOs tonight. Spurs fans on this forum would want him traded for Melo or for a couple of first rounders.

Lebron actually led Miami to two titles. Something Parker has never done for the Spurs. Again, another bad comparison.

[NASpurs]

lol Knicks

[NASpurs]

Parker with the Hero ball bads.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Tony with the stupid hero shot..............

[atoyotagaspedal]

FUCK OFF WITH THE HEROBALL PARKER

[RD2191]

Game is nowhere near over, don't know why some are celebrating.

[NASpurs]

Parker fucking shit

[ace3g]

TP really...

[SpurSwag]

I knew that shit was going to fucking go in -_-

[Expert]

hero Tony to the rescue.

[timtonymanu]

Tony Parker :lmao

Predictable hero ball BS

[Kool Bob Love]

Parker in playoff MODE!!!

[SpurSwag]

I can't stress enough how badly parker needs to rest, he looks so slow

[DPG21920]

Shumpert sucks. We happened to get his one good game a month unfortunately.

[itzsoweezee]

Tony fucking Parker, fucking up again and again.

[RD2191]

LOL, I knew the Knicks were going to hit a 3.

[rayjayjohnson]

olololololololol

[bklynspursfan]

I think Pop needs to rest Parker. Give him like a week or even 2 off

[Captivus]

Parker with the Hero ball bads.

[Prime Time]

Parker... :depressed

[SpursRock20]

I don't care what anyone says, and I by no means am a Parker hater, but if we lose this is entirely on him. What the hell was that?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Man Kawhi mis timed Parker's miss on the jumper for the rebound and we were so close to getting that last play.

Ah fuck

[apalisoc_9]

LMAO KAWHI WAS WIDE OPEN IN THE BREAK AS WELL AS MANU :lmao

[Mikeanaro]

:downspin:

[resistanze]

:lol Parker

[Spurs Brazil]

damn Tony, FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

[cjw]

Bet you he makes both.

Winner winner. God what an unlucky sequence there. Just as stinging as that Amare bailout at the end of the shot clock. Time for a Marco open look or a two for one.

[Trainwreck2100]

fucking hero motherfucker

[bklynspursfan]

We never win these kind of games lol

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

we had this game...................................

[testies]

parker calls a heroball play to use 24 seconds, then next play fucks up wide open lay up

so low IQ

[ace3g]

Marco sending this to OT

[Expert]

Tony had Leonard wide open on the break and refused to throw the ball to him. Instead he barely got rim.

[NASpurs]

A quick two would be great

[resistanze]

:wow New Manu

[Mikeanaro]

Hero ball will never learn

[Prime Time]

BELI!

[NASpurs]

BELINELLI OMGGGGGGGGGG

Get a stoooop now.

Don't give Hero the ball to lose us the game.

[RD2191]

ONE MORE STOP, PLEASE

[007nites]

Marco is GOD

[TheGoldStandard]

I said it, keep feeding marco

[SpurSwag]

looking like the biggest steal of the big 3 era

[boutons_deux]

Marco nullifying Shumpert career night

[HI-FI]

hooooooly fkn shit.

THAT DUDE. I knew he was meant to be a Spur.

[SpursRock20]

Still need a stop...

[Johnny RIngo]

So in the past when Manu has played for his national teams and/or been awful in the playoffs, were you calling for him to be traded or blaming him for every defensive miscue? Just curious.

I never called for Manu to be traded but I largely blamed Manu's disappointing season last year on his decision to play for Argentina. Had he rested over the summer, there's a good chance we already have title number 5. It's funny. I was called a Manu hater last year and now I'm apparently a TP hater. I don't hate either player. The only thing I truly detest is international basketball. It's done nothing but cripple the Spurs the last five years.

[Spurs Brazil]

this game could kick start the Knicks as well.

[DPG21920]

Perfectly executed play. Pop is one of the best

[CitizenDwayne]

Carmelo brick coming up

[DPG21920]

What's genius about the play was not just the timing of letting it develop but that it got the ball to the hot man.

[NASpurs]

Shumpert raping that ass.

[RD2191]

SON OF A BITCH

[resistanze]

Shumpert raping that ass.

[DPG21920]

You.have.got.to.be.kidding.me.

[timtonymanu]

Of course...

[Expert]

Spurs cannot get the stop. They do not box out. They need to lose this game. If they win it that could be worse than losing it believe it or not.

[CitizenDwayne]

fuck

[SpursRock20]

Where's Duncan?

[SpurSwag]

fucking pop. why is he so enamored with benching tim in these situations

[cjw]

Yeah, Duncan out of the game ala game 6...

[KaiRMD1]

No Duncan .....

[Robz4000]

Fuck Shumpert

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

box out wtf

[Cry Havoc]

I never called for Manu to be traded but I largely blamed Manu's disappointing season last year on his decision to play for Argentina. Had he rested over the summer, there's a good chance we already have title number 5.

I don't have a problem with fans being disappointed with the way Tony is playing right now. I even admitted to being upset myself with his lack of speed and ability to get to the rim.

There's a CHASM between being disappointed and the kind of vitriol that gets spewed here on a nightly basis in Parker's direction, however. And that's the rub. I hate the blame game. That's for Lakers fans trying to save Kobe's legacy when he destroys a team.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

No Duncan for that defensive posession?!?

[timtonymanu]

LOL now Pop in Finals mode

[Leetonidas]

When will Pop fucking learn, god dammit what an idiot

[Texas_Ranger]

lol

[007nites]

Where was TIM????????????????/

[CitizenDwayne]

Give it to Marco.

[SpursRock20]

That was Belinelli's man btw. He just wants to make the three to win it.

[DPG21920]

Melo's terrible shot selection gets rewarded.

[NASpurs]

No Duncan for that defensive posession?!?

:lol

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop not so smart defensively

[loveforthegame]

Pop will never learn. :bang

[DPG21920]

TP will hit the shot tbh..

[Leetonidas]

Fucking sad, god dammit

[RD2191]

Spurs just aren't playing good ball right now, needing a career night by Marco to beat the Knicks at home isn't a sign of a good team. It is what it is.

[SpurSwag]

Duncan sitting on those possessions has never worked in our favor

[timtonymanu]

Miami and OKC both lose tonight and so do we. :depressed

[Expert]

they only needed two points.

[313]

Over the back foul??

[DPG21920]

Go for a super aggressive swipe.

[podesta]

TRADE FUCKING PARKER!!!!!!!!

[SpursRock20]

Kawhi took Duncan's rebound.

[dbreiden83080]

If the game is tied why is Duncan out? The thought process was what there?

[cjw]

Over the back on KMart but whatever. Let them get excited only to get buzzsawed by the next two Texas teams

[Expert]

these are the dreary days of the NBA. Good teams lose during this time of year.

[Prime Time]

Damn. Well, Spurs didn't deserve this victory tbh.

[HarlemHeat37]

Beli's points are completely negated by a scrub like Shumpert, one of the worst starters in the league, having a career night, tbh..

[timtonymanu]

Spurs just aren't playing good ball right now, needing a career night by Marco to beat the Knicks at home isn't a sign of a good team. It is what it is.

Definitely true. Parker/Leonard/Green look significantly worse this year. The Spurs aren't a contender right now, but we still have a full season.

[DPG21920]

tony you idiot

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Beli's points are completely negated by a scrub like Shumpert, one of the worst starters in the league, having a career night, tbh..

Which is becoming a theme when teams go up against the Spurs

[cjw]

Beli's points are completely negated by a scrub like Shumpert, one of the worst starters in the league, having a career night, tbh..

And bailed out by refs again. Melo was trapped.

[bklynspursfan]

This loss just assures me we will beat Clippers on Saturday. Everyone will get their win against an "elite" team

[CitizenDwayne]

Bullshit

[DPG21920]

Miss one.

[james evans]

fukin parker at the end of the game. he lets the shot clock wind down, takes a screen from duncan and puts up a bullshit prayer. then he misses a backdoor layup, then he leaves shumper wide the fuk open for a 3. wtf

[spurtech09]

didn't watch the game but how do the spurs lose to a sorry ass team like the knicks?

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

if he don't its over

[polandprzem]

Nice loss

[KaiRMD1]

smh, this is a cliff jumping game.

[NASpurs]

...

lol Parker

[DPG21920]

Make a shot, foul.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

yup Parker...

[SpursRock20]

Parker lost this one for us. The ridiculous hero ball shot and the missed layup really did us in.

[Budkin]

Worse loss of the season by far, especially considering OKC lost tonight. :bang

[Texas_Ranger]

fuck it

[Expert]

I wouldn't even guard them. Well unless I was Manu then I would foul them

[HarlemHeat37]

And why are there people in this thread comparing Tony Parker to Lebron or Durant, tbh?:lmao..

[Darius Bieber]

lol spurs

[TheGoldStandard]

Lets not forget kawhi bricking a few free throws and pop pulling Duncan

[Mikeanaro]

Fatmelo are you ok?

[DPG21920]

Gross.

[CitizenDwayne]

Suicide.

[Expert]

lol

[HI-FI]

Parker lost this one for us. The ridiculous hero ball shot and the missed layup really did us in.

true that. fake ass leader, typical parker mode.

[313]

disgusting loss

[timtonymanu]

Pathetic loss, tbh.

Tony Parker is in denial if he thinks this was a collective team effort loss.

[james evans]

And why are there people in this thread comparing Tony Parker to Lebron or Durant, tbh?:lmao..
well according to a certain poster, the spurs would be a worse team if they had stockton, oscar robertson, chris paul, or isiah thomas as a point guard.. (and i hope his ass comes in here to deny saying it so i can quote him)

[loveforthegame]

Well, that sucked.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Wowwwwwwwwwwww
:vomit:

[ace3g]

He needs to pick and choose when he takes those mid range shots early in shot clock late in games...

[Spurs Brazil]

Embarrassing loss.

Another pathetic effort on D, and it start with Tony, he's been awful on D all year long and Manu should stop gambling, his guy is always open.

I know it still January but if the D don't improve we're one and done

[SpursRock20]

And why are there people in this thread comparing Tony Parker to Lebron or Durant, tbh?:lmao..

Although not nearly as good, he is the leader of this team like Lebron and Durant. He is going to get the blame when he can't lead his team to victory.

[Budkin]

At least the Thunder lost to the Nets. Someone to wallow in our misery with.

[313]

true that. fake ass leader, typical parker mode.
But who missed free throws?
Parker took one bad shot late in the game and everyone wants to pounce on him.

[Texas_Ranger]

Iman fucking Shumpert... pathetic

[Darius Bieber]

Lol spurs handing the Knicks their first win against a western team. This Spurs team is going no where.

[ElNono]

:pop: Both teams played hard

[SpursRock20]

But who missed free throws?
Parker took one bad shot late in the game and everyone wants to pounce on him.

Also missed a chippy at the rim.

[james evans]

But who missed free throws?
Parker took one bad shot late in the game and everyone wants to pounce on him.
took a bad shot, missed a wide open layup,and left his man wide open for a 3 pointer over the course of 30 seconds at the end of the game. am i lying?

[Reck]

Disgusting loss tonight.

[look_at_g_shred]

:pop: They just made shots
Fify

Ballgame. Spurs open 2014 with 105-101 loss to New York. Fifth loss at AT&T Center this season, after only six losses here last season.

[KaiRMD1]

Spurs suck, simply put. Why did pop take Duncan out when we could've had a rebound again?

[polandprzem]

:pop: Both teams played hard


tbh

[look_at_g_shred]

lol everyone all ready to slit their throats...relax

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

And why are there people in this thread comparing Tony Parker to Lebron or Durant, tbh?:lmao..

TP finished ahead of Durant in MVP votes this past year buddy

[Johnny RIngo]

And why are there people in this thread comparing Tony Parker to Lebron or Durant, tbh?:lmao..

It's terrible logic. Apparently, Parker playing bad all season is comparable to Lebron/Durant having one off game.

[CitizenDwayne]

:hang

[313]

:pop: Both teams played hard
No. Through three Qs, the Knicks were playing much harder, and getting all the 50/50 balls

[HI-FI]

Spurs suck, simply put. Why did pop take Duncan out when we could've had a rebound again?

i don't even like thinking about it. Pop is beyond stubborn.

[james evans]

Spurs suck, simply put. Why did pop take Duncan out when we could've had a rebound again?
he's gonna keep trying it until it works. he's got to prove to the world that one day it will work to show his true genius.

[bklynspursfan]

Like I said, this just means we beat the Clips Saturday. Haven't lost 2 games in a row all year (Only Blazers can say the same) Everyone will say we beat an elite team! and all will be well

[TheGoldStandard]

Er um.... Coasting

[Johnny RIngo]

TP finished ahead of Durant in MVP votes this past year buddy

:lol Using MVP votes to prop Parker above Durant. Another bad take from scrub.

[james evans]

i'm not worried about this loss cuz we started to play late and stupid plays at the end of the game cost us. it was a winnable game, just stupid mistakes late.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

:lol Using MVP votes to prop Parker above Durant. Another bad take from scrub.

Putting words in my mouth, per par..

No wonder everyone shits on your "opinions"

[TheGoldStandard]

I think this proves that Danny green is incredibly useless

[RD2191]

We ain't beating the Clippers, not while the Spurs are playing like this.

[lefty]

Parker fanboys still sucking his cock :lmao

[DPG21920]

Spurs just continuing not only their bad play overall, but at home which is a big concern. Tim looks really bad IMO. He can't finish around the rim with any sort of consistency. He get's bullied around down there and it takes a toll on him. TP continues to not only lack explosion but focus. He's really just drifting and floating in and out of games. He's good enough to still put up decent numbers, but the offense is in a funk in large part to TP/Tim.

The Spurs have been for a while a team that feasted on bad teams and they have done that this year too, dropping home games to bad teams is just all around bad. Lot's of concerns at this point in the year, but still a great record and plenty of time to progress.

[SpurPadre]

Ok, we've finally lost to a scrub team at home other than to only the elites. I think it's safe to say it's time to start being concerned...especially since the Knicks are one of the laughing stocks in the league

[ElNono]

:pop: They shoot some shots and we did not. My wine is getting warm, kthx, bye

[Darius McCrary]

Kawhi is worthless this season
2013 was our chance, and we blew it.

[cd021]

Leonard had his fair share of mistakes 3 missed free throws and a wide open 3 in the fourth.

[Blizzardwizard]

That's it, I can't take this anymore!

I'm gonna do it! :cry

I'm gonna jump on the Raptors bandwagon.

At least their white center can get putback slams :(!

[timtonymanu]

Ok, we've finally lost to a scrub team at home other than to only the elites. I think it's safe to say it's time to start being concerned...especially since the Knicks are one of the laughing stocks in the league

I have been concerned about the Spurs for a while now. Not going full meltdown mode though unless we see this continue until March/April.

[TheGoldStandard]

Leonard and green have fallen off too

[ElNono]

IMO, the fact we didn't get a single time to the line the entire 1st half goes to show this team just thought they would half ass it and win anyways. And the Knicks wanted revenge after the 20pts ass whupping at the Garden. Not really concerned, but the Spurs have to at least get up to beat the scrub teams...

[KaiRMD1]

Spurs coasting ........ we suck

[cd021]

Kawhi is worthless this season
2013 was our chance, and we blew it.

He looks awkward taking a bigger chunk of the offensive responsibilities. He is more effective as a cutter and camping out in the corner. His explosiveness off the dribble allowed him to take advantage of his rotating defender and get the rim.

Thats 11 points in the last 3 games, if i'm not mistaken.

[Duncan2177]

he's gonna keep trying it until it works. he's got to prove to the world that one day it will work to show his true genius.
If that's what Pop thinks he's one delusional motherfucker. :lmao

[Robz4000]

Gonna be fun doing game grades tonight tbh.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Our play is just complete shit all around, tbh. Our offense is painful to watch. It's 75% isolation. We don't get good shots anymore besides when we catch defenders slipping for those high post passes to a guard under the basket. We can't defend ANYONE that actually deserves to be in the NBA. Can't rebound for shit against any team that has more than one player under 29.

The team IQ is low as fuck compared to the early 2000s. Some of our turnovers are just buttfucking retarded. We take some of the dumbest, most questionable 3pt attempts I've ever seen. We are soft as baby poop on 5-ply Charmin Ultra. Our gameplan is gimmicky as fuck and we don't know where we are going to get shots from when Parker can't just repeatedly lollygag into the lane for 2 points.

Speaking of Parker, he's fucking useless if he isn't having an easy time scoring. Just totally one-note right now.

Tim is old. That's understandable and unavoidable and not his fault, but he exacerbates that situation with his fucking slow as dirt decision-making. Fucking get your defender pinned and fucking go into your shooting motion already. He waits for the guy to fucking knock the ball out of his hand every time, or lollygags looking for a double when he's been too fucking timid all game for anyone to bother doubling him. Fucking speed your mental process up, Tim!

Tiago is goddamned puny as shit.


The whole team plays like a fucking assemblage of goofs; falling over themselves, tipping rebounds away from themselves and teammates, repeatedly volleying rebounds until someone on the other team who actually has the desire to win claims it for himself. Fucking airballing 2ft shot attempts. Doubling at the most random times for no reason leaving hot 3 point shooters wide the fuck open. Just generally not attempting to guard anyone so they can get back on offense.

Goddamn when did the team get some fucking...goofy? We used to be about business.

Just too gimmicky and silly these days.

[Budkin]

To put it simply the Spurs knew they were playing the Knicks and felt like they didn't need to come prepared. This is the perfect example of how anyone can beat anyone in the NBA on any given night if the circumstances are right. And look at OKC.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

This is truly embarrassing....I fear how the outcome will be against the Clippers. After all, the Knicks are one of the worst teams in the league, so losing to them is a disgrace. I don't understand how we play so much better on the road, but always choke at home....

[Johnny RIngo]

Putting words in my mouth, per par..

No wonder everyone shits on your "opinions"

Who shit on who tonight? I called Parker out on his terrible play and he led the collapse tonight. I called Marco out on his poor defense and a few users argued that it's a huge improvement over Neal. Then Shumpert has a career night with Belli guarding him..

Your takes are still shit, like always.

[look_at_g_shred]

Some fluke shots by NY tonight....buzzer beater by Amare comes to mind.

But this has been a trend for a while now. We nearly let the Kings beat us. And we have come out flat against the elite teams of the league.

We only looked convincing against the :lolNets.

Brooklyn at least has old as dirt stars we got schooled by schumpert

I don't know how many times we say fluke shots fell until we just accept that fluke shots usually seem to fall against the SPURS for some reason. They are fluke until they play us.

Who shit on who tonight? I called Parker out on his terrible play and he led the collapse tonight. I called Marco out on his poor defense and a few users argued that it's a huge improvement over Neal. Then Shumpert has a career night with Belli guarding him..

Your takes are still shit, like always.
:lmao, tbh..

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker fanboys still sucking his cock :lmao

TP's on/off numbers are scary bad right now. Our offense is better when he's sitting on the bench...that's how ineffective he's been this year. Hopefully he doesn't get picked for the all-star game. It'll give him a chance to rest for a week and it might motivate him to play better towards the second half of the season.

I have been concerned about the Spurs for a while now. Not going full meltdown mode though unless we see this continue until March/April.
What pisses me off the most is that they don't seem to care about getting HCA by playing like this. As if game 7 at Miami didn't make things harder for them.

I hear u!

Parker is a real concern right now. On every drive that he makes to the basket he is looking for a foul call rather than trying to find the best possible shot/open man. It's getting really annoying and I'm a fan. It totally makes sense why the refs simply flat-out ignore his antics after every drive to the hoop.

What is the Spurs defensive rating against jumpers? Gotta be one of the worst in the league, no?

Exactly. They only seemed to play hard in this game in the final 6 minutes, but by then it was already too late. I'm tired of this lackadaisical play and the over-reliance on the bench bringing the energy every game. Which reminds me that Pop needs to stick Beli back on the bench. They have lost their spark in my opinion.

Pretty sure we have no chance of getting HCA against the East at this point.

[Baam]

Too many betas tbh... Zero elite player right now...

This is sad... POP should rest Parker like Cuban did with Dirk, he should also tell him to take more 3s tbh, he was always gonna have to rely on 3s as hes slowing down...

Kawhi and Tiago can't carry shit... The perimeter D is so bad... But hey they didn't get a SF so they obviously don't give a fuck...

Imo trade for picks at this point, complete pretender status confirmed.

[Darius McCrary]

He looks awkward taking a bigger chunk of the offensive responsibilities. He is more effective as a cutter and camping out in the corner. His explosiveness off the dribble allowed him to take advantage of his rotating defender and get the rim.

Thats 11 points in the last 3 games, if i'm not mistaken.
11 points in 3 games??? He's finished.

Homecourt is the least of our concerns right now. With TP in his current state, we'll struggle to make it out of the first round. Finishing top four in the west with everybody healthy/rested for the playoffs should be the current goal for the team.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

lol pop and his retarded rotations
lol pop benching tim during a crucial defensive stand per par
lol pop not learning his lesson
lol parker fuking the spurs over again trying to be a hero
etc

Still way early to say that. :lol Eliminate some of those "they should have won that" losses and we have the best record in the league.

[Budkin]

FO better be looking hard at potential moves at this point tbh. Without one we'll be lucky to make it past the second round tbh.

This is sad how predictable he has gotten...Like the annual soft card is the answer to anything...

[NASpurs]

Uh oh, here comes the "soft"card. That fucking shit has been played out and has been getting diminishing returns since 2008.

That's not a goal that will get us a championship then. This team badly needs home court more than any other elite team.

[SpurPadre]

I'd like them to bring up Josh Howard if only to show Leonard how to play like a wing player with balls should play.
