About time Green gets his starting spot back. This is gonna be a tough game without Manu, especially with Tony playing like garbage. We're gonna need big nights from Beli, Green, and Mills to make up for the loss of Manu.

[bklynspursfan]

^I wonder if it's just temporary and Pop is bringing Marco off the bench to be "Manu"? That 2nd unit offense would look very bad without a true ball handler

[freetiago]

Green always seems to shit on Dallas for whatever reason the past few years
last time he went perfect from the field
he was big in games where the Spurs set franchise record for 3s made and another where they had like a 50 point lead in Dirks first game of the season after injury

[mute]

Man, it's so depressing... how can these guys get up so high like that. It barely looks like he's launching himself...

Danny Green game winner against Dallas (the game that Pop took his starters out and his bench came through for him)

[SupremeGuy]

Green should never have lost his starting position. I like Beli coming off the bench. And for the love of fuck, can Baynes please get some real fucking pt?

[Budkin]

Should be an easy victory even without Manu but we know how the Spurs like to relax against teams they think they should beat. Take care of business Spurs, you got 3 days off after this.

[ace3g]

Diaw should be able to bother Dirk enough throughout the game.

[Beaverfuzz]

Spurs by 11 tonight. Fuck the Mavs!

[timtonymanu]

About time Green gets his starting spot back. This is gonna be a tough game without Manu, especially with Tony playing like garbage. We're gonna need big nights from Beli, Green, and Mills to make up for the loss of Manu.

IMO, its just temporary. Marco gets the Manu role today.

[Bruno]

This game could have been a nice opportunity for De Colo and Thomas to get some minutes but it looks like Spurs haven't called them back which is understandable given that this day would have the 3rd in 3 days for them.

[RD2191]

Easy victory my ass, the Mavs have been playing well (on offense) and our defense has been atrocious lately. We also play better on the road than at home, I just hope the guys can get a win.

[DPG21920]

Sucks that Manu is injured. Wasn't it a hamstring injury that completely derailed him last season after a really good start?

Exactly. Even if the Spurs are blowing out teams, they eventually allow them back in it (last night, the previous Dallas game).

[TXstbobcat]

:flag:

[timtonymanu]

Why is this game early? Gonna miss the 1st quarter trying to beat traffic home.

[RD2191]

Why is this game early? Gonna miss the 1st quarter trying to beat traffic home.
Be safe on the road, man. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Boris starting

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!

[ace3g]

Timmy with Kinesio tape.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!

[Chinook]

Finally the starting lineup we were clamoring for.

[r0drig0lac]

timmy

[Prime Time]

Blair with dat defense

[Cry Havoc]

Good start so far.

[DPG21920]

If Blair continues to guard Tim, Tim should get 20+ shots and should be in the post.

[ace3g]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BdfvGTPCIAAfta9.jpg:large

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!

[TXstbobcat]

Blair :lmao

[Proxy]

so how does the tape that Timmy has on actually work?

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard and 1!!!!

[Cry Havoc]

Kawhi and one!

[Prime Time]

Mavs are really fucking short

[dallasmaverickslose]

I'm not able to watch the game tonight.

Can anyone tell me if Manu is playing tonight?

[TXstbobcat]

Diaw!!!!

[TXstbobcat]

I'm not able to watch the game tonight.

Can anyone tell me if Manu is playing tonight?

manu is out tonight.

[siraulo23]

good start, blair's d smh

[Arcadian]

Now this is the correct starting lineup.

[dallasmaverickslose]

manu is out tonight.

:depressed

[Spurs Brazil]

good start

[hooperflash]

Thread titles have been leaving out the game time as of late, fix that por favor... Gracias :tu

[timtonymanu]

The Spurs are playing the ideal starting 5. Too bad, its back to starting Marco next game.

[ace3g]

Duncan messing with Elliott's papers, lol

[Cry Havoc]

Tony playing really well so far.

[Prime Time]

Kawhi stat padding

[ace3g]

Kawhi in post!!!

[TXstbobcat]

Diaw!!

[TheGoldStandard]

Nice slow pace. Need to play controlled like this for all 4 quarters

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan 5 boards already. :hat

[RD2191]

WTF, Bonner? Why?

[KaiRMD1]

Good job hero

[timtonymanu]

Is Blair being booed? Tbh I would.

[timtonymanu]

WTF, Bonner? Why?

The alternate is that worse than D-League scrub Errors. Give me Matty any day.

[Prime Time]

Not sure if Green is an amazing defender, or if Beli is just a shitty one. Probably a tiny bit of both

[TheGoldStandard]

Ugh when will Bonner learn, just stand by the 3 point line and wait for the pass

[r0drig0lac]

Not sure if Green is an amazing defender, or if Beli is just a shitty one. Probably a tiny bit of both
neither, dallas is weak, just that

[KaiRMD1]

The alternate is that worse than D-League scrub Errors. Give me Matty any day.

:toast

[loveforthegame]

Love Leonard's aggression.

[TXstbobcat]

Nice block by Timmy

[ajh18]

Anyone know what's on Duncan's arm? Looks like tape of some form. Is he dealing with a minor injury?

[TheGoldStandard]

Parker playing within himself tonight. Great pass earlier to kawhi

[TXstbobcat]

Marco!!

[DapDaGenius]

Belli with the goods.

[Prime Time]

I still feel like Ayres isn't as bad as everyone else thinks. He's an active rebounder and decent at setting picks, nothing to brag about or take pride in but it's not like everything he does is absolute shit.

[DPG21920]

You know what I don't get (and I will preface this by saying it's hard in the moment) is why players get caught in the situation Tim just got caught in (rebound, falling out of bounds) why they don't throw the ball as far as they can down the court the other way.

Tim did the best thing and didn't save it under his own basket, but why not throw it as far as you can on the other side of the court?

[DapDaGenius]

Bonner...dafuq?

[DapDaGenius]

That ball movement was so sloppy...inb4 someone makes a joke off my mom.

[loveforthegame]

Dallas sucks. :lol

[DapDaGenius]

Nice job Ayres...make us light skin people proud.

[r0drig0lac]

when ayres is dominating the boards you know the other team is shit

[LakerHater]

Ayres, that reboundin foo!

[LakerHater]

wayta fight Ayres!

[RD2191]

3 aint fallin tonight

[DPG21920]

Starting line up did a pretty good job. But, it was against Blair so hard to really take anything away tbh..

[DPG21920]

wayta fight Ayres!

Shouldn't have fought tbh..no need to foul and give them FTs

[LakerHater]

Tim Duncan has seven rebounds

[Prime Time]

*Bonner plays like shit against Dallas*
"Better him than that scrub Ayres"

*Ayres plays decent against Dallas*
"It's only cause Dallas sucks"

Can't have it both ways Spurs fans.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy with 7rebounds in the 1st quarter.

[r0drig0lac]

*Bonner plays like shit against Dallas*
"Better him than that scrub Ayres"

*Ayres plays decent against Dallas*
"It's only cause Dallas sucks"

Can't have it both ways Spurs fans.
the truth is that dallas sucks, just that, the rest is bullshit

[LakerHater]

Kawhi has 7 & 5!

[TXstbobcat]

Marco!!

[LakerHater]

MARCO!

[ace3g]

dang rarely see that shot get blocked by Diaw

[ace3g]

bring in Thoma...

[loveforthegame]

Mills can't buy one.

Ayers getting screwed by the refs.

Baynes!!

[Prime Time]

Baynes :lol

[DPG21920]

Letting Blair get that shot off smh..

[Prime Time]

the truth is that dallas sucks, just that, the rest is bullshit
Well then Ayrers>Bonner since Matty is playing worse against a sucky team

[GB20]

fuck!! now baynes is going strait to the bench :lol

[TheGoldStandard]

This is why it would be nice to have Thomas ready to go. Needs burn especially when rest is needed

[apalisoc_9]

Leonard getting touches against decent teams...why am I not surprised

[r0drig0lac]

Well then Ayrers>Bonner since Matty is playing worse against a sucky team
I actually agree, but not because of this game, they are just different players, and the time of one of them with the shirt spurs has passed

[DPG21920]

Spurs with their rebounding advantage and Dallas's poor FG% should have a bigger lead..

[TheGoldStandard]

Patty looking like a scrub

[RD2191]

:td

[loveforthegame]

Turnovers. :bang

[DPG21920]

TO's keeping the Spurs from blowing the lead open

[DapDaGenius]

5 point game. I love close games. Let's keep it that way.

[LakerHater]

Jirk shaken up!

[timtonymanu]

Diaw is playing great on Dirk.

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!

[TheGoldStandard]

Ugly but effective

[DapDaGenius]

Leonard with the swag-tag.

[timtonymanu]

Don't be hurt, Dirk. I don't need anymore injuries to my losing fantasy team. :lol

[DPG21920]

Spurs are the biggest "how the hell are they doing this/winning" team ever :lol

[RD2191]

:wakeup

[LakerHater]

Mavs Airball then Spurs throw it away!

[loveforthegame]

Why is Bonner out there.

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!

[TheGoldStandard]

Parker playing much better tonight

[TXstbobcat]

Nice steal by Leonard

[timtonymanu]

Love it when Leonard steals the ball.

[LakerHater]

Tim has 8 points & 12 rbs!

[r0drig0lac]

Tim has 8 points & 12 rbs!
20/20 on the clock....

[RD2191]

Easy victory my ass, the Mavs have been playing well (on offense) and our defense has been atrocious lately. We also play better on the road than at home, I just hope the guys can get a win.
:wakeup

[Reck]

I know the Spurs have a tendency to give up big leads but this year this team is inept at keeping any sort of decent lead.

Spurs play better when the game is close anyway so I dont mind it being this close. Big leads means inevitable colapse.

[LakerHater]

20/20 on the clock....

My thoughts exactly!

[Johnny RIngo]

Duncan/Parker with a combined 9 TOs - need to do a better job handling the ball

[LakerHater]

http://on.nba.com/1aad9c (http://on.nba.com/1aad9c)

[TheGoldStandard]

Tim Duncan is a silent assassin, he gets all of his stats under the radar. When he eventually retires the pundits will look at his stats and wonder how he did it.

[TheGoldStandard]

Glad I'm watching this on the CW, ESPN half time show was again fawning over the Mavs

[Timmy4ever]

Timmy on beast mode

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!

[Cry Havoc]

Tony doin' work. Good to see considering what he's been up to lately.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan is ON.

[TheGoldStandard]

Lol Manu gets hurt and tony finds his game, weird

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!

[Cry Havoc]

Tony again! Sweet shot!

[Cry Havoc]

Tony is fucking WATER right now. That didn't even hit rim.

[TheGoldStandard]

Parker is heating up!

[TXstbobcat]

Tony heating up!

[Timmy4ever]

TP rollin'

[ace3g]

http://d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net/photos/large/832498447.jpg?1389230769

[Cry Havoc]

Parker going supernova. 8 points in 2 minutes 47 seconds. :wow on pace for.... 38 this quarter. :lol :lol :lol :wow

[TheGoldStandard]

Let's hope this is a sign, Duncan finding a groove, parker hitting his shot and passing and hopefully Manu heals quickly

[timtonymanu]

http://d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net/photos/large/832498447.jpg?1389230769

WTF? :lol

Was away at halftime so I didn't see that

[TheGoldStandard]

Expect to see TP trolling us threads after this game. Playing with purpose

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony on fire

[Cry Havoc]

In under 3 minutes Parker has tied/bested anyone on the Mavs not named Monta. :lol

[TheGoldStandard]

Kawhi getting burned by ellis

[Cry Havoc]

GREEN

[TXstbobcat]

Green!!

[timtonymanu]

I would try Green on Ellis.

[TheGoldStandard]

Bad defensive rotation. Green way out of place

[RD2191]

We would be getting blown out if the Mavs weren't so atrocious. Damn, this is some bad basketball.

[TheGoldStandard]

Switched it to the other network and the only time they were not Monotone is when Mavs score

[RD2191]

:lolESPN tryna hype the BK?heat game, LMFAO

[Cry Havoc]

We would be getting blown out if the Mavs weren't so atrocious. Damn, this is some bad basketball.

Truth, but this is pretty customary of the Spurs on the 2nd night of a B2b, especially without Manu and Tiago. We really need Splitter's post D.

[crc21209]

Kawhi's playing stupid defense on Ellis right now. He's going under the screen and Ellis is just popping jumpers. Is this by design though to force him to shoot jumpers instead of attacking the rim? Or is it just stupid D?

[RD2191]

gonna sign up for blackpeoplemeet

[ace3g]

epic passing is epic

[loveforthegame]

Sweet!!

[RD2191]

Timmy

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy slam!!!

[testies]

We would be getting blown out if the Mavs weren't so atrocious. Damn, this is some bad basketball.

Dallas is 20-15.. gtfo hater

:lolESPN tryna hype the BK?heat game, LMFAO

Brooklyn has actually been ballin lately. They beat OKC and Atlanta and are on a 3 game WS.

[timtonymanu]

:lol Blair

Glad we are exposing this fatass again.

[ace3g]

Brooklyn has actually been ballin lately. They beat OKC and Atlanta and are on a 3 game WS.

Yep they finally reloaded the AK47

[Cry Havoc]

Blair sad that he couldn't even come off the bench for us. :lol

TBH though Blair > Errors

[crc21209]

Brooklyn has actually been ballin lately. They beat OKC and Atlanta and are on a 3 game WS.

This. It seems that both NY teams are starting to find a groove now...

[Cry Havoc]

Good foul Marco.

[testies]

Blair sad that he couldn't even come off the bench for us. :lol

TBH though Blair > Errors

Blair > Errors? Have you seen Blair's attrocious defending today? Ayers is a much more comptetent all around basketball player than AAU Blair

[crc21209]

Didn't see much contact there...

[crc21209]

CoJo sighting?

[RD2191]

Dallas is 20-15.. gtfo hater
:wakeup

[TheGoldStandard]

Oh crap Cory joseph

[TXstbobcat]

[Cry Havoc]

Welcome back Tony!!!!!

[DapDaGenius]

Broke that fools ankles

[Cry Havoc]

[loveforthegame]

CJ!! :lol

[RD2191]

:lolCoJo hittin prayers

[DapDaGenius]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!

[Cry Havoc]

Dat Clifford Robinson shot. :lmao

[TheGoldStandard]

Defense is so sad

[TXstbobcat]

Tony on fire!!

[loveforthegame]

Tony on fire.

[RD2191]

I wonder if Parker looks better because he isn't going up against a young stud PG? Not hating, just wondering.

[TheGoldStandard]

MVParker, lets hope vintage Manu returns as well. Deadly lineup when they all play like that

[crc21209]

Damn Green threw that shit down! :lol He needs to do that during play. He had a putback like that in GS..

[DPG21920]

TP's TO's have seemingly gone way up this year.

[TheGoldStandard]

Ayres sucking on defense

[LakerHater]

& 1!

[Cry Havoc]

MARCO AND 1 FROM THREE

[Timmy4ever]

mama mia

[TheGoldStandard]

Marco!!

[loveforthegame]

Marco!!!!

[TXstbobcat]

Marco and 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DapDaGenius]

KING MARCO!!!

[DPG21920]

Beli wit dat Roger Mason/Gary Neal first season-esque goods.

[LakerHater]

NICE look off Beli!!

[TXstbobcat]

Marco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Marco smooth!!

[Cry Havoc]

Beli wit dat Roger Mason/Gary Neal first season-esque goods.

He's way, way better than either of them ever were. Both from 3 and in his complete package. He's amazing.

[crc21209]

This is more like it! :tu

[TheGoldStandard]

Marco has been solid everywhere he has been. No fluke

[testies]

IL PROFETAAA

[DapDaGenius]

Marco has a certain aggressiveness about him. Is that b/c he is Italian?

[SPIDER2311]

quick hands patty

[timtonymanu]

Just no 40 point quarter in the 4th, tbh.

[LakerHater]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BdgH2aCCAAA5hFD.jpg

[DPG21920]

He's way, way better than either of them ever were. Both from 3 and in his complete package. He's amazing.

Probably true, but Roger had a pretty unreal 1st season including big shots.

[TheGoldStandard]

Tim just told Ayres stop sucking

[TXstbobcat]

Mills!!

[TheGoldStandard]

Probably true, but Roger had a pretty unreal 1st season including big shots.

They were relative nobodies before they got here, Beli was solid in Chicago

[DapDaGenius]

Dubs on the step!!

[Cry Havoc]

Probably true, but Roger had a pretty unreal 1st season including big shots.

Perhaps, but I don't know if Spurs really appreciate what Marco is doing.


He is quite possibly in the midst of the greatest 3 point shooting season in NBA history.


I mean, you can't even compare Mason to what Marco has been doing. It's possible that he'll be at the top. Doubtful, but it could happen.

[LakerHater]

WOW, carter...LOL!

[RD2191]

What the hell, I get up to take a call and make a sandwich and we're leading by 20. The hell happened.

[DapDaGenius]

I don't know why, but I knew Carter was going to make that. LOL

But okay, we're up 20, that means we'll win this game by 1.

[TheGoldStandard]

What the hell, I get up to take a call and make a sandwich and we're leading by 20. The hell happened.

Marco and Tony lit it up

[spursparker9]

lol Why did Carter point at JVG?

[crc21209]

Fucking Vince Carter, dude needs to retire. Can't stand looking at his face, he still thinks he's the shit to this day.

[timtonymanu]

What the hell, I get up to take a call and make a sandwich and we're leading by 20. The hell happened.

Get another one and the Spurs will be only up 1 for allowing another 40 pt quarter.

[DapDaGenius]

What the hell, I get up to take a call and make a sandwich and we're leading by 20. The hell happened.

Marco was on fire, Tony was doing well. Patty and CoJo made for a troublesome duo.

[Cry Havoc]

What the hell, I get up to take a call and make a sandwich and we're leading by 20. The hell happened.

Parker & Co got some free throws and Beli hit another 3. :lol

[crc21209]

People like to complain about the Spurs D. At least the Spurs didnt give up 37 in a qtr to the Nets like GS did tonight. :lol

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Whats up with vince carter, why is he being a bitch for pointing at the crowd like that.... does he not know were up by 40

[Cry Havoc]

Over the past 5 games, Marco is shooting 63% from downtown.

What the fuck.

[TheGoldStandard]

Vince wants a job tbh
