Game 44: Spurs @ Heat, Jan 26, Noon CT

[DapDaGenius]

Clearly a travel Bonner...dumbass.

[RD2191]

Fuck

[TheRemix]

bon bon...

[ElNono]

finally we get a call

[DPG21920]

Jeffers looks like he's 50 years old

[LakerHater]

[RD2191]

lol bonner

[ElNono]

Othello playing well

[RD2191]

Jeffers looks like he's 50 years old
:lmao

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Bonner sucks

[Juggity]

Come on Bonner. Make your 3s

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop playing undersized OJ and nando not getting a sniff.

[Captivus]

has Bonner ever made a contested 3?

[r0drig0lac]

good to play without the best players is a scrub can customize and be important for the rest of the season

[ElNono]

Miami uncharacteristically sloppy on defense... must be why they've been dropping games

[Baam]

Pop playing undersized OJ and nando not getting a sniff.

OJ is doing ok imo, more playoff potential than a lot of our offensive minded scrubs...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

It's amazing the Spurs are scoring as well as they have because almost every player looks confused with the ball or gets trapped very quickly.

[BatManu20]

Here comes Game 6 highlights

[RD2191]

:depressed

[ElNono]

rebound

[DMC]

The traveling call was bogus, at least it was the same as Miami just did twice with no calls.

[TXstbobcat]

Diaw!!

[Raven]

miami got owned there :lol

[DPG21920]

Luckily Spo is fine putting his terrible line ups out there for now.

[Mikeanaro]

We are not that bad, I hope Wade ends his career right now to live comfortably in a wheel chair.

[LakerHater]

Jeez!

[smaka]

Birdman acting like an annoying fuck

[BatManu20]

Lol Diaw

[TheRemix]

holy fuck

[RD2191]

fuckin a

[Juggity]

Fuck that bearded pedophile. Only player on the Heat that I can truly despise.

[r0drig0lac]

single block, and people acting like it big

[loveforthegame]

I'd rather watch Jeffers than CJ. :bang

[blkroadrunners]

Ayres playing pretty well

[Baam]

CoJo may be the worst player on the roster, worse than Baynes, Ayres, De Culo...

[DapDaGenius]

Ayres is feelin' it.

[LakerHater]

Wayta stay in control Ayres!

[stephen jackson]

wow ayres D:

[loveforthegame]

Ayers!! Nice recovery.

[Raven]

ayers handling is improving... sort of

[TheGoldStandard]

Ayres volleyball move worked

[DMC]

Someone make a gif of that bobble lol

[ElNono]

damn errors

[DapDaGenius]

It's safe to say if Anderson was out there, Ayres wouldn't have recovered that ball.

[TheRemix]

well he almost lost it..gotta work on those hands ayres

[EVAY]

Well done!!!!

[r0drig0lac]

pendegraph

[LakerHater]

No Tim, Tony or Manu & Spurs tie it up!

[DMC]

Errors tries to make his move before he has the ball. That's most of his problem.

[RD2191]

Sucks we won't get past OKC, I like our chances against the Heat.

[Prime Time]

Anyone else notice how much better Ayres' hands are? At the beginning of the season he could hardly catch the ball, now he's dropping 2-3 dunks a game.

[Dex]

The misfits keeping the Spurs in it.

Good stuff from Patty, Diaw, and Errors.

[EVAY]

It is true that if Miami was paying attention Ayres wouldn't have been able to get away with that, but it was still nice to have a tie game for a bit.

[SpurSwag]

Gonna be honest I love Ayres lately, if he keeps this up and has some more improvement he'll be a really useful player. He is really athletic, gritty, and pretty mobile.

[DMC]

No Tim, Tony or Manu & Spurs tie it up!

Don't worry, Tim will get his obligatory touches and line drives to the front of the rim in time to allow Miami to go on a 9-0 run.

[TheRemix]

Sucks we won't get past OKC, I like our chances against the Heat.
we'll get passed okc 4-2

[Amuseddaysleeper]

It's still early but very impressed with the Spurs so far. Keep it up boys :tu

[spurspokesman]

Stone hand Ayres lol

[benstanfield]

Sucks we won't get past OKC, I like our chances against the Heat.

Miami coasting. They'll open it up later. This game is important for them, being televised like this.

[TheGoldStandard]

LeBron is back heat up 10

[RD2191]

:loloden

[LakerHater]

What the hell

[DPG21920]

Spo bought Lebron a lot of rest and it's tied. Let's see how it goes from here.

[smaka]

Oden looks 50 too.

[TXstbobcat]

Oden and his 65 year old knees.

[Beaverfuzz]

Oden looks older than Bill Russell.

[Baam]

Baynes should play when Oden is out there...

[boutons_deux]

that pass to Ayres was behind him, he made lemonade

[Dex]

JVG "There has never been a better coach in the NBA than GPop"

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice job Patty, rack up the fouls!

[Beaverfuzz]

No foul on Duncan surrounded by three guys? Bullshit.

[LakerHater]

Crap Timmy!

[smaka]

Two fouls, no call.

:lol Oden

[Beaverfuzz]

Oden can't jump anymore. He's done.

[Baam]

Like the 3 bigs lineup...

[The_Coyote]

No foul?!

[RD2191]

LOL REFS

[Baam]

Tim looks in slomo, playing pretty terrible...

[loveforthegame]

Come on Duncan.

[ElNono]

no call smh

[spurspokesman]

Damn foul fest being allowed

[TheRemix]

poor tim getting abused

[DPG21920]

:Lmao the amount of contact they are allowed

[blkroadrunners]

Dunk that sh*t Diaw

[LakerHater]

Wide o-pen lay up, MISS!

[DapDaGenius]

How the fuck did he miss that?

[loveforthegame]

Diaw. The fuck was that. :lol

[timtonymanu]

Duncan looks awful

[DapDaGenius]

Wow...Diaw fucked up twice....dumb fuck.

[Raven]

dear god, belinelli just made the worst defensive move of his career, and that's saying a lot

[TXstbobcat]

Jesus Christ!!!!!

[RD2191]

:lmao

[DPG21920]

My goodness. I would bench Boris for this.

[LakerHater]

Dont you watch tape, wrap him up harder than that!!

[boutons_deux]

ayres clobbered 2,3 times, no foul

[BatManu20]

Boris has to make those lay ups. and not commit stupid fouls. Come on Boris

[TheGoldStandard]

Hahahahahahaha

[Baam]

Tim singlehandedly killed all momentum...

[r0drig0lac]

Duncan looks awful
slow slow

[Blizzardwizard]

Getting screwed by these Miami refs :lol

[RD2191]

Getting screwed by these Miami refs :lol

[LakerHater]

COUNT IT!!

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy and 1 !!!!!!!

[Juggity]

hell yeah.

[ElNono]

damn thats an and1

[TheRemix]

stfu lebron

[Raven]

My goodness. I would bench Boris for this.

totally belinelli's fault.

[spurspokesman]

These refs are terrible lol

[The_Coyote]

James POS. Fuck him.

[Captivus]

Diaw spending too much time with Taigo.

[LakerHater]

LeFlop tried!!

[Beaverfuzz]

Anyone slow down the Diaw foul on Lebron? He shot the ball while back down to the floor. Should have been two shots only.

[loveforthegame]

Parker's defense. :bang

[ElNono]

lmao "Go at whoever Parker is guarding"

[boutons_deux]

damn, no bigs step up on the mid range shooters

[spurspokesman]

Parkers D is terrible smh.

[LakerHater]

Spurs leavin shooters wide open!

dont have any play makers on the floor!

[DapDaGenius]

Fuck Kevin Durant....bitch ain't really spinning that laptop on his finger.

[benstanfield]

LBJ isn't even sweating. Impressive, but this level of coasting will bite them in the ass against IND in the ECF.

[phxspurfan]

Spurs staying with the champs. Nice start. Without so many guys, I expected it to be a blowout from the beginning.

[RD2191]

I think we forget how old our big 3 are tbh, this would be a 30 point lead if our stars were in their prime. So fuck the Heat, tbh.

[r0drig0lac]

lmao "Go at whoever Parker is guarding"
before "Go at whoever Bonner is guarding"

[benstanfield]

Spurs leavin shooters wide open!

Need Tony back in, dont have any play makers on the floor!

:lol Leaving shooters open, put Tony in!

[EVAY]

Duncan backing down to let Cole get one more in-the-lane open midrange after the guard is screened out.

[podesta]

TP defence is like shit

[TheRemix]

its that whoever offense on parker

[GB20]

every time timmy and tony comes out from the bench the spurs stop making baskets

[spurspokesman]

We're in Miami pal. Aint happening

[RD2191]

TP going full James Harden on defense.

[james evans]

Parkers D is terrible smh.
terrible is an understatement. i don't even have a word for it. when his man gets by him(which is often), he's like, "timmy's gonna help me out". he's had that help his whole career. it's like he doesn't even realize duncan is 37 years old. he put no fukin effort in on defense. he expects tim to help him out every time.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Manu 0-3, 1 TO. He's starting to heat up for the Heat.

[TheGoldStandard]

Our defense is stupid. Tony gets screened it's his fault Cole takes an uncontested jumper. Meanwhile Duncan who is 4 steps away just stays there

[r0drig0lac]

diaw in sf

[Baam]

I like the 3 bigs experiments tbh...

[ElNono]

this is our best lineup right now

[Raven]

boris :cry

[BatManu20]

Diaw is making a lot of mistakes

[TheRemix]

woah nice

[spurspokesman]

Our bigs need to play big

[TXstbobcat]

Diaw3333333

[LakerHater]

Tim leavin his feet alot this game!

[Boomersgold]

Baynes on Lebron. Not a bad decision from Pop.

[Beaverfuzz]

No foul by Oden on Duncan? Bullshit.

[Baam]

Someone wake up Tim...

[RD2191]

:lmaorefs

[ElNono]

lmao

[LakerHater]

Make up call for no call on James!!

[DPG21920]

Of course they call that.

[smaka]

chalmers FLOP

[RD2191]

:lmaoflop

[LakerHater]

No Call for Manu!??

[Juggity]

Wowwwwwwww.

[Blizzardwizard]

refs :lol

[BatManu20]

Man Timmy struggling

[EVAY]

Chalmers will get a fine for that

[ElNono]

come on timmy

[Raven]

oden is pretty much what he has always been.. a big body on O and a fouling idiot on D

[loveforthegame]

Man Timmy struggling

It's hard to watch. :(

[DapDaGenius]

I just can't believe how much Lebron and Oden look a like.

[DPG21920]

You can see the impact Oden can have if he's healthy. It's like watching worst case scenario if you are the other teams.

[RD2191]

I miss Green and Kawhi

[TheRemix]

spinarooni

[RD2191]

gtfo manu

[smaka]

lmao Manu in full Nba finals mode

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Manu 0-4, 1 TO. Continues to provide a spark off the bench for Miami.

[timtonymanu]

Manu is useless right now

[ElNono]

lebron is just good

[Raven]

I just can't believe how much Lebron and Oden look a like.

true, only one runs literally twice as fast (with the ball)

[loveforthegame]

Good to see Manu show up today.

[GB20]

manu is playing like crap

[RD2191]

game

[benstanfield]

Manu well short on every. single. jumper. Drive god damnit

[Libri]

Who's guarding James. :/

[LakerHater]

Isnt that a travel??

He cant catch his own ball!

[Baam]

Manu 0-4, 1 TO. Continues to provide a spark off the bench for Miami.

:depressedPretty much...

[jARS mEsH sEt]

I think Manu could end up as player of the game for the Heat. I'm anticipating 2-9, 5 TO, 2 Assists.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!

[BatManu20]

Starters playing worse than our bench. Always a good sign..

[RD2191]

Duncan carrying the Spurs, same ol same ol

[DPG21920]

Manu just can't figure out how to be a plus against MIA and that sucks.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy. 17 pts

[TheRemix]

lmao assist from baynes?

[DPG21920]

If Tim would have gotten a few more calls he'd have 20+ points

[EVAY]

Starters playing worse than our bench. Always a good sign..

Three of our bench ARE the starters today

[Mal]

Van Gundy going HAM

[DPG21920]

Gino flopping, missing shots, turning it over. Damn it!

[BatManu20]

Lol Baynes

[LakerHater]

No Call for manu but they called one for mario, WTF!?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

If Tim would have gotten a few more calls he'd have 20+ points

The reffing has been pathetic. Oden should have fouled out by now.

[DapDaGenius]

I wish Baynes was just a crazy powerhouse. Also......why does Manu keep falling down? Quit playing pussyball.

[TheGoldStandard]

These refs

[LakerHater]

See Jeff!!

[RD2191]

Lol Wade getting away with all sorts of contact

[ElNono]

Manu been doing a solid job on Wade, a difficult guy to keep in check... he won't attack much while Tony is out there though... he only had a shot out of a broken play

[Otaku]

Wasn't a flop, clear offensive foul.

[GB20]

gino needs to play like a man

[DPG21920]

Spurs need to up their level of physicality. MIA, with help of the refs, are bullying the Spurs.

[Diego20]

Manu sucking.. Put him on the starting lineup next game to give him some confidence.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

The reffing has been pathetic. Oden should have fouled out by now.

Yeah this is pretty much what JVG said, and JVG's analysis is usually pretty neutral and on point.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs missing so many gimmes and open jumpers

[LakerHater]

gino needs to play like a man

Too late for that, not his game!

[DMC]

I don't bitch about officiating but there's some blind motherfuckers out there.

[DPG21920]

Manu been doing a solid job on Wade, a difficult guy to keep in check... he won't attack much while Tony is out there though... he only had a shot out of a broken play

He didn't attack outside of one drive when TP was out...

[LakerHater]

Terrible

[BatManu20]

Parker and Ginobili playing like shit

[ElNono]

He didn't attack outside of one drive when TP was out...

because everyone else was hitting... the entire bench is positive on +/-...

[r0drig0lac]

and of course, ray allen for three

[Raven]

well, i can't complain too much, at some point it looked like a 200 allowed points game, 58 is not too bad.

[timtonymanu]

Game tbh

[Beaverfuzz]

Shut up Raptor.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Manu been doing a solid job on Wade, a difficult guy to keep in check... he won't attack much while Tony is out there though... he only had a shot out of a broken play

He had the opportunity to drive multiple times and he's taken a weak mid range jumper or passed it up to a teammate in lieu of going hard to the rim.

[RD2191]

37 year old carrying the team:hat

[DPG21920]

because everyone else was hitting... the entire bench is positive on +/-...

Of course you would watch this game and think Manu has been a positive.

[Chomag]

Looks like Manu still has to work on his confidence when playing the heat. You know that finals performance is still in the back of his mind.

[benstanfield]

Halft-time game 6 flashback drink count: I'm at 2 glasses of gin on ice. How y'all doing?

[DapDaGenius]

I'm willing to bet if Ray Allen was still on the Celtics and I wanted the Celtics to beat the Heat, he wouldn't be nearly as accurate anymore.

[ElNono]

Of course you would watch this game and think Manu has been a positive.

he was too until he entered with this last lineup...

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Ginobili playing like shit

Fixed it for you.

[justinandimcool]

Tony :lol :lol :lol :lol

Manu :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

[ElNono]

the defense improved in that second quarter... held them 24... the offense through Tim didn't quite work though... mostly no calls

[Diego20]

What's the point of CJ in the starting lineup? I would like to see the BIG three in the starting lineup until Green comes. Manu need some confidence like game 5.

[DPG21920]

Manu a -4 tbh..

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Ginobili should sit out against Miami moving forward. Dude has been atrocious

[RD2191]

We probably get blown out in the 2nd but still like what I saw in the first half.

[Chomag]

all playing scared except duncan

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Holy fucking shit why the hell is Manu getting 15 minutes per half against the Heat? We don't need that kind of handicap, Pop....

[Baam]

What's the point of CJ in the starting lineup? I would like to see the BIG three in the starting lineup until Green comes. Manu need some confidence like game 5.

Even OJ looked better than Cojo...

[EVAY]

Parker and Ginobili playing like shit

Not a very good observation with respect to Parker at least. Until he took that last second desperation three because there was no time left in the half he hwas shooting 3 of only 5 attempts while setting up the offense for Tim to go 6 of ten and Boris to go 4 of 5 or 5 of 6- I can't remember exactly.

[EVAY]

dp

[Baam]

Holy fucking shit why the hell is Manu getting 15 minutes per half against the Heat? We don't need that kind of handicap, Pop....

:lol

[DapDaGenius]

Chris Paul's shoes are ugly as fawk

[TheGoldStandard]

Playing above our heads fo the first half. Doubt we sustain it

[RD2191]

I still believe Malcolm Thomas could of helped this team, don't know wtf the front office was thinking.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Parker has 9 points, 6 assists (2 TO) and Manufan is lumping him in with Manu :lmao

Parker may not have superstar numbers out there at the moment but he hasn't been nearly as bad as Manu. It's an insult to lump them together.

[quentin_compson]

Despite not playing much D worth being called D, the Spurs are within reach - not too bad.

[Beaverfuzz]

Clean it up on D. And STFU halftime crew...all a bunch of rubes.

[DPG21920]

Nono noknows what he's doing tbh..doing the lords work

[LakerHater]

Tim with 17 but Team strugglin on D!

[jARS mEsH sEt]

"Gregg Popovik" - Jalen Rose

[DPG21920]

TBH, the real reason the Spurs are in close range is because Spo is content (rightly so) getting Lebron/Wade plenty of rest and playing his weaker line ups. When the score gets close/tied, in comes Lebron and they get the lead back up. However, officiating has been awful and that plays a role too.

[LakerHater]

427518564703027201

[DMC]

This game isn't about the Spurs. It's about the Heat. Every Heat play gets a replay, when Boris ties it with a 3 it's mentioned as an "oh and Boris ties with a 3, but as I was saying...".

At one point the Spurs are going to show both age and injury results. It's probably this season. I'd not be surprised to see them finish at the bottom of the seeding due to injury.

[ElNono]

I'd like to see Manu up his assist total in the 2nd half...

[EVAY]

Said it better than I could.

[DMC]

"Gregg Popovik" - Jalen Rose

I don't get the speech impediments some of these guys have. It makes no sense to me. Put Rose with Payton, sounds like they are just learning the language.

[LakerHater]

No center for LeFlop.... musta forgot Shaq played with him!

[jARS mEsH sEt]

I'd like to see Manu up his assist total in the 2nd half...

I'd like to see Manu contribute anything positively in the 2nd half, because he' at rock bottom now.

[BatManu20]

Skip trolling

[daslicer]

I'm willing to bet if Ray Allen was still on the Celtics and I wanted the Celtics to beat the Heat, he wouldn't be nearly as accurate anymore.

Ray is an emotional guy he tends to fall apart when he doesn't feel good about himself. That was one the huge reasons why he choked against Bowen because Bowen could get underneath his skin. It was also huge reason why at times he disappeared when he was in Boston because he felt KG and Pierce didn't appreciate him. Overall a very gay individual I will never forget when in '05 during the playoffs through the media he threatened Bowen by stating that he knew Stu Jackson and would voice a complaint and get him suspended.
