[RD2191]

Timmay

[RD2191]

CoJo with the steal

[loveforthegame]

Dallas up 6 on the Pacers with 46 seconds left.

[TheGoldStandard]

Marco almost a triple double

[EVAY]

We need more refs bowing to Duncan

Yeah is there someplace where we could go arrange that?

[timtonymanu]

:lolDiaw maybe

I see what you did there.

[Raven]

always nice to face tanking teams tbh :lol

[timtonymanu]

too bad he can't go to the tower of americas and hop off the viewing area.

:lol

[DapDaGenius]

I didn't even realize that Danny only has 3 points.

[Raven]

indiana shooting 32% from the floor :lol

[RD2191]

Timmay

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

TD all dayyy

[TheGoldStandard]

Beli 11/6/7

[EVAY]

Three more rebounds and Timmy moves up again in the double-double count.

[RD2191]

Damn, this 4th is draggin

[LakerHater]

DAMN, Danny killed'em!

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

all damn day

[EVAY]

These refs must have an early flight out of Boston.

[DapDaGenius]

Kawhi smiled after Rondo's shot. I wonder why...

[ace3g]

BeliGreen!!!

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

nice pass belly

[timtonymanu]

Verde!

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

finish these fools

[TheGoldStandard]

11/7/9

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

triple double or whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[SpursRock20]

Belli going for those assists now...

[Mikeanaro]

Yeah fuck you ronda

[ElNono]

clear path foul

[RD2191]

CoJo

[Mikeanaro]

Look pop is smiling!

[DapDaGenius]

So does everyone still hate Cory Joseph?

[TheGoldStandard]

Cojo stat padding

[RD2191]

glad we have a good solid backup PG in CoJo

[timtonymanu]

So does everyone still hate Cory Joseph?

I don't hate Joseph, but I don't like him on the team. The only Spur I hate right now is Jeff Errors.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

fuckin belly

[DapDaGenius]

Marco with the mean 3...niiiiiice!!

[RD2191]

CoJo>Mills

[Mikeanaro]

POLO!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

I don't hate Joseph, but I don't like him on the team. The only Spur I hate right now is Jeff Errors.

This tbh

[DapDaGenius]

I don't hate Joseph, but I don't like him on the team. The only Spur I hate right now is Jeff Errors.

Everyone hates Errors, but hot damn that was a nice move by Green.

[EVAY]

That's Marco's 10th rebound. Three more assists for him and he has a triple double.

[Bartleby]

Pop should pull the starters now. Boston isn't closing the gap.

[RD2191]

I don't hate Joseph, but I don't like him on the team. The only Spur I hate right now is Jeff Errors.
??? He's a better PG than Mills

[Mikeanaro]

POLO VERDE!

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Get some assists belly!!

[Budkin]

glad we have a good solid backup PG in CoJo

Man it's like every time I pick Patty over CoJo or vice versa they switch performances. Imagine if all 3 of our PGs could have consistently good performances.

[Darius Bieber]

Good start to the All Star Break..

[timtonymanu]

Sit Timmy before something else happens

[RD2191]

Man it's like every time I pick Patty over CoJo or vice versa they switch performances. Imagine if all 3 of our PGs could have consistently good performances.
Right, it would be nice:lol

[timtonymanu]

??? He's a better PG than Mills

Both have their flaws, but I prefer Mills.

[EVAY]

If the spurs win this they will already have as many wins as I predicted for the entire road trip…including after the break.

Course it could still be true, but we can certainly hope not.

[jkid12456]

Both have their flaws, but I prefer Mills.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

A belinelli triple double would be the icing on the cake tbh

[RD2191]

Both have their flaws, but I prefer Mills.
Why? Mills is a chucker, no better than Neal, and smaller. CoJo is a a solid efficient backup PG who is also pretty good on defense.

[TDfan2007]

Timmy with 23 points in the second half! :wow

[EVAY]

Sit Timmy before something else happens

Your wish is Pop's command!

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Errors just checks in and already gives an and one away

[jeebus]

:lol

Errors comes in, Celtics make a run

[EVAY]

That was a really bad move by CoJo

[TDfan2007]

Jeff Ayers is so talentless...

[timtonymanu]

Why? Mills is a chucker, no better than Neal, and smaller. CoJo is a a solid efficient backup PG who is also pretty good on defense.

I've personally been a Patty Mills fan even before he was a Spur so I'm pretty bias. The thing that bothers me with Joseph is his timidness on offense. He has his moments, but I personally think Mills has earned the backup PG spot this year. If it were up to me, Nando would be dumped first before both of those guys.

[jeebus]

Everyone please pay a visit to the Church of Penderfag to give thanks to your God: Ayres.

[Mikeanaro]

Patty over Cojo to me

[Bambililos]

Boh are good on defense. CoJo has more steals, but Mills scores more. Why argue over them? Both are fantastic replacements for Tony and Manu right now, enjoy!

[EVAY]

Don't you kinda get the impression that deColo is Parker's guy (they keep him because Parker likes him) and that Bonner is Duncan's guy (they keep him because Duncan likes him)?

DP

[Bambililos]

And Nando has disappointed me.

[EVAY]

Well, Belli outplayed both Mills and Cojo tonight.

[timtonymanu]

Don't you kinda get the impression that deColo is Parker's guy (they keep him because Parker likes him) and that Bonner is Duncan's guy (they keep him because Duncan likes him)?

I'm sure if the right trade came along, both guys would be traded. Hill was a favorite of Pop's, but he's not here anymore.

[Robz4000]

Everyone please pay a visit to the Church of Penderfag to give thanks to your God: Ayres.

Have you made your Errors voodoo doll yet? Its time to tear off a limb imo.

[SpurPadre]

Marco with 8 assists in one game. Chucker Neal can't record 6 assists in a 10 game span.

[Boomersgold]

glad we have a good solid backup PG in CoJo
Cojo's played surprisingly well as a starter. Unfortunately, he won't see any minutes when the starters are back and healthy. Pop's already given the backup PG spot to Mills and Manu's the backup SG.

You never know with Pop. Before the playoffs last year, he said Nando was the backup PG. Ended up giving it to Joseph. Then at training camp to start the season, he said Joseph was the backup PG. He gave it to Mills. Fortunately for Patty, he's been earning that spot this year.

doubt that's true, cojo is clearly the better backup pg and pop knows it. Mills is an okay undersized streaky SG, nothing more nothing less

[Boomersgold]

How was Rondo an all star again? He can't shoot, is slow as f*ck, doesn't have great court vision, and relies on his teammates to make him look good.

If mils keeps this up, he should be in the discussion for most improved player.

[Robz4000]

:lmao

[PingPong]

Fuckin Trevor Ariza hit 10/12 3pt shoot. 37pts, 7 reb.

[Kool Bob Love]

:flag:

[ace3g]

Dan McCarney @danmccarneysaen
(https://twitter.com/danmccarneysaen)Belinelli first player not named Duncan, Robinson, Parker or Ginobili with at least 16/11/8 over past 20 years.

[Johnny RIngo]

How was Rondo an all star again? He can't shoot, is slow as f*ck, doesn't have great court vision, and relies on his teammates to make him look good.

Better question is how did Parker make the all-star game, especially with Dragic outplaying the shit out of him this season.

[Mugen]

Sons, god bless Timothy Theodore Duncan tbh.

[ron235]

I don't get a lot of the Patty-bashing here. What exactly are your expectations of him?

Busts his ass, loyal to a fault, has the ability to be an impact player every game, producing a career best PER of 18.87 and has one of the best defensive ratings in the team - all while playing for minimum wage? Something doesn't quite add up for me.

[Russo21]

I understand we are a bit injured but outside of our 2 very good bigs in Boris (18pts 3reb 4ast 66% +18) and Tim (25pts 9 reb +18) our bigs are pathetic. Why can't this front office get some help for old man Duncan in the middle? I know good big man are a dime a dozen but surely he can have some help down low. Our other bigs outside of Boris and Tim tonight (Bonner 7pts 4 reb) (Ayers 0pts 1reb) (Baynes DNP sux) (Splitter DNP sand in his vagina) Defensively we let Kris Humphries score double his season average (15pts to a season 7.5ppg) and Kelly someone (15pts 10reb compared to his season averages of 7.5ppg and 4.5rpg) Tim is pushing 40, why is it so hard to get him help on the inside. Its been over 10 years since the admiral set sail and the best big to pair with tim was probably Robert Horry who is a SF in a PF's body and played well when he bothered to show up from April onwards, then we have the Rasho's and Elson's, Oberto's who have come n gone that did ok for us. I just don't know why they can't sign a descent interior guy. A front court rotation of Duncan, Diaw, Bonner and Ayers isn't gonna cut it. Are we gonna get some help in the middle at the deadline? And don't get me started on the backup SF issue yet to be addressed.

Uhhh.. short answer is no..

Spurs are always low risk when it comes to draft picks, trades or signing people. Some spurs fans will cream all over Tiago because of his numbers even though what we have it to compare too are shitty stats from Bonner/Blair/Corpse of McDyess.. Spurs rewarded him because RC goes by analytics that show that he was pretty effective with Tim who was having a renaissance season last year so we lock him in for "market value" Yet they are the same people that shit on the market value players that are putting up similar numbers elsewhere. There are players who are worth less but who could play equal or better based on how much there game would actually escalate playing in the Spurs system. Robin Lopez was a steal for his price tag and his age. Blatche has some offensive game to him and isn't that shitty of a defender.

I don't know what goes on with the FO during the off-season or even now but one has to wonder how they go about a deal, what conversations are like, what they are offering up but to me they over value the end of bench players, rely too much on this "system" to cover up there hole with no backup SF. We've seen on a consistent basis that our team doesn't know how to rebound.. they stand around and wait for the other team to take possession to go back on defense.. It's silly.

[FvckMavs]

I was at the game last night. My first Spurs game ever!

Manu is still the most poplar Spurs player even though he didn't play. Many Spurs fans chanted "Manu, Manu" when he walked by. And he slowed down to high five as he walked out of the tunnel at the half time.
