[SpursFan86]

I'm pretty sure that tweet you posted was regarding the Portland game...it was posted on the 19th. I don't think Duncan would need another game of rest, and David Aldridge reported Kawhi would likely play tonight.

[Dex]

Yeah, false alarm. Noticed it was PDX, not PHX.

[freetiago]

Without Duncan I dont see how the Spurs do well in this game
If Diaw can play well against his former team and Splitter/Mills channel there inner 2012 end of season game vs Phoenix then SA has a chance

[loveforthegame]

Really hoping Leonard is back.

[JR3]

Very successful rodeo road trip if we can pull this one off.

[Sean Cagney]

Very successful rodeo road trip if we can pull this one off.

IF TIM is out this will be very tough. I agree it would go from successful to very successful if they pull this one off.

[johnpaulwall21]

Tim's gotta be playing.

[Mugen]

No reason for Tim to sit this one out considering the Spurs have a long layoff until the next game. I expect them at full strength sans Enrique and a solid end to another successful RRT tbh.

[MeloHype]

Easy win

[look_at_g_shred]

Gonna be a fun game to watch! Definitely gonna be a playoff type vibe.

[ElNono]

Don't underrate the Suns... they're a good, solid team. I think it's going to be a battle.

[SupremeGuy]

Where are you guys getting no Duncan from?

[look_at_g_shred]

Where are you guys getting no Duncan from?
There was a tweet that OP had embedded but was a tweet before the Portland game.

[SupremeGuy]

There was a tweet that OP had embedded but was a tweet before the Portland game.lol yeah that's what I figured, thanks

[r0drig0lac]

Dragic vs mills 2.0

[timtonymanu]

I'm satisfied with the RRT so a loss here won't bother me. Gonna be a tough game but I think we could pull it off.

[superjames1992]

Easy win
Against a 32-21 team on the road? No.

[MeloHype]

Against a 32-21 team on the road? No.
I say this before every game, get off me

[TE]

Don't underrate the Suns... they're a good, solid team. I think it's going to be a battle.
They hustle on defense and fly around the perimeter like a college team, tbh. I hope your boy takes care of the rock.

[spurs10]

Any idea where to watch this game if you aren't in SA? Watch 99% of the games on FSSW.....:depressed

[ElNono]

They hustle on defense and fly around the perimeter like a college team, tbh. I hope your boy takes care of the rock.

You mean Patty? He'll heat up.

[bklynspursfan]

This should be a W. Especially with Kawhi back. I hope we end this RRT with a solid defensive outing

[Texas_Ranger]

Just don't let Gerald Green get hot.

[xellos88330]

Is Daye going to be available for this game?

[Mel_13]

Is Daye going to be available for this game?

No, he went straight to San Antonio.

[xellos88330]

No, he went straight to San Antonio.

Ok thanks! :toast

[DesignatedT]

Tony, Leonard OUT
Manu Questionable.

[Mugen]

Would have liked to see Leonard back but can't fault Pop for giving him another week of recovery. Going to be a tough game especially if Manu's out as well, PHX is solid tbh.

[Robz4000]

God damn was excited to see Leonard play. They're really being cautious with bringing him back.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Paranoid Pop, per par...

[r0drig0lac]

mills will lead this team today

[weeks]

Any idea where to watch this game if you aren't in SA? Watch 99% of the games on FSSW.....:depressed you looking for a first row to watch sports ?

[BatManu20]

Tony, Leonard OUT
Manu Questionable.

Damn.. was hoping Leonard would play tonight.

In other bad news, it was just announced LeBron James is going to start in Space Jam' sequel.. smh

[SupremeGuy]

Damn, I was looking forward to seeing Kawhi back tonight. :( I understand though.

[SupremeGuy]

you looking for a first row to watch sports ?http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/image.php?u=40245&dateline=1390350449

[loveforthegame]

Of course Leonard needed the night off again. 22 years old. :lol

[Raven]

we need to win this one.

[spurs10]

you looking for a first row to watch sports ? Just bummed it's not on TV outside of SA. Will drive somewhere and watch it though. :flag:

[313]

Of course Leonard needed the night off again. 22 years old. :lol

this isn't like Pop resting Timmy on the 2nd night of a b2b , kawhi is being rested to make sure he is %100.

[313]

you looking for a first row to watch sports ?

:lol :lol :lol

[timtonymanu]

Manu questionable? Is he hurting again?

Disappointed but understand about Leonard.

[SupremeGuy]

Just bummed it's not on TV outside of SA. Will drive somewhere and watch it though. :flag:LMAO dude... you can't be serious?

[loveforthegame]

this isn't like Pop resting Timmy on the 2nd night of a b2b , kawhi is being rested to make sure he is %100.

Manu and Green came back faster.

Leonard was cleared Monday. So he needs a week and change to be rested for sure? Not to mention Pop will continue to monitor his minutes like he's older than Duncan.

I shouldn't be surprised cause it is Pop.

[timtonymanu]

We're 7-1 on the RRT according to NBA.com. :lol

[Josh810]

Wtf happened to Manu now?

[Maddog]

Per Monroe twitter Manu will play

https://twitter.com/Monroe_SA/status/437034947421814784

[TXstbobcat]

:flag:

[ElNono]

I thought Pop played Manu quite a bit the last game... per the usual, there's nothing on Jeff McDonald's tweeter

[RD2191]

Benefactor is a homo. Go Spurs Go!

[TheGoldStandard]

Lets get this one..

[loveforthegame]

It would be nice to get this one. Go Spurs.

:flag:

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Play good D on Dragic , those stupid twins, and Fryes and we win this tbh

[timtonymanu]

Another good PG challenge for Joseph and Mills.

[Cry Havoc]

Priorities tonight:

1. Play good D.

2. There is no #2.

[Cry Havoc]

Diaw doesn't look comfortable. Cojo looks completely lost.

[TheGoldStandard]

Danny with the transition goods

[Cry Havoc]

http://www.retrocrush.com/archive2006/green/greenranger.gif

[DapDaGenius]

YEAH Green.

[DapDaGenius]

I bet Mills would have made that.

[RD2191]

damn, we need some mills chuckin

[ElNono]

Cojo slippin on D

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

our offense sucks with Cojo out there

[Cry Havoc]

our offense sucks with Cojo out there

Both our backup points need to score to be effective. I'm still not sold on Cojo's D.

[Cry Havoc]

God damn guys why the FUCK are you letting Bonner bring the ball up?

[TheGoldStandard]

Hahahaha Bonner you suck hard

[loveforthegame]

Love Bonner being on the team still. :tu

[LakerHater]

Fuckin Bonner!

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

lol Bon Bons

[Cry Havoc]

Spurs lead! Bonner being productive!!!

[ElNono]

gotta keep it close... we'll make a run sooner or later

[Raven]

I bet she can cook

:lol

[timtonymanu]

Man, I'd love to pick up Granger. Fit right in on this team.

I prefer Earl Clark. Granger just looks awful now and can't play defense. The 8 man rotation seems set at this point too.

[Raven]

Man, I'd love to pick up Granger. Fit right in on this team.

i'm not sure he really fits, but yeah i'd love for us to pick him up.

[SpurPadre]

RC: damn you Bonner... Now I can only extend you 20 million
You kidding? They blow a load when Bonner is being Bonner. They get some sick satisfaction out of it. The only nba player who's allowed to fuck up as many times as he wants.

[TheGoldStandard]

Either Clark or granger would he awesome then I would take back all the front office shit I've been saying. It would be a good thing

[TheGoldStandard]

You kidding? They blow a load when Bonner is being Bonner. They get some sick satisfaction out of it. The only nba player who's allowed to fuck up as many times as he wants.

The 20 would he over 2 seasons

[Raven]

great D but bad rebounding right now..

[ElNono]

damn box out and rebound

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Good D
we just needa Rebound!

[TheGoldStandard]

Spurs can never rebound.

[Raven]

Either Clark or granger would he awesome then I would take back all the front office shit I've been saying. It would be a good thing

Clark is terrible tbh

[timtonymanu]

Predictable. Can't rebound.

[ElNono]

nice dish Manu

[Cry Havoc]

BONNER IN NO HEADBAND MODE

[r0drig0lac]

wow manu ...nice pass

[ElNono]

damn, 3 ball dont wanna fall

[RD2191]

wtf manu

[ElNono]

Manu!

[DapDaGenius]

Tiago gets 2 rebounds in a row and we blow our chance to score. :(

[Mikeanaro]

PORQUE MANU PORQUE???????????

[Raven]

this lineup seemed to really be able to dominate.

[Cry Havoc]

Decent 1st quarter.

[ElNono]

good D so far... the offense needs to knock those open 3s

[TheGoldStandard]

Tiago gets 2 rebounds in a row and we blow our chance to score. :(

He probably got hurt...

[timtonymanu]

Mills starting out pretty cold. He'll get going eventually.

Pretty good Q overall though.

[ElNono]

wonder how much of the good D can be attributed to not having Ayres out there

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Spurs Playing decent Defense so far,
Phx is missing a lot of shots and we need to take advantage tho.
and Fckin REBOUND

[RD2191]

Mills 0-4, nothing to see here.

[sexinthatsx]

Is Austin Daye with the Spurs tonight?

[Cry Havoc]

wonder how much of the good D can be attributed to not having Ayres out there

We just made a couple fewer errors on D, that's all.

[Cry Havoc]

Is Austin Daye with the Spurs tonight?

Nope. Next game.

[ElNono]

Manu about to win that poll, tbh

[Raven]

wonder how much of the good D can be attributed to not having Ayres out there

if it was baynes instead of ayres, it wouldn't change much, it's just that tiago makes a huge difference in our system.

[timtonymanu]

Is Austin Daye with the Spurs tonight?

He's in San Antonio at the moment. Will be active for the next game most likely.

[r0drig0lac]

tiagoooooo

[RD2191]

nice setup by mills

[timtonymanu]

Manu about to win that poll, tbh

:lol Remember this list?

http://www.nba.com/suns/photogallery/top10_disliked_1.html

[jeebus]

I'm digging the error free bench.

[Raven]

mills is getting abused

[RD2191]

rofl chucker, mills hurts this team, some are too blind to see that

[RD2191]

mills is getting abused
nothing new

[sexinthatsx]

Nope. Next game.

Waiting for him to string a monster game with 5 minutes of playing time lol

[TheGoldStandard]

Damnit.. Ayres in smh

[jeebus]

Spoke too soon. Fuck that faggot.

[sexinthatsx]

Spurs are playing very sloppy right now...

[ElNono]

whats this lineup Pop? What's next? sit Patty and bring in Cojo?

[RD2191]

0-6, garbage

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

WOW ERRORS COMES IN AND PHX AUTOMATICALLY GOES ON A RUN

[TheGoldStandard]

whats this lineup Pop? What's next? sit Patty and bring in Cojo?
You read pops mind

[Cry Havoc]

whats this lineup Pop? What's next? sit Patty and bring in Cojo?

We need Daye for the backup PG slot tbh.

[r0drig0lac]

[QUOTE = sexinthatsx; 7150572]Waiting for him to string a monster game with five minutes of game time lol [/ QUOTE] 4/3/1 in 65% FG

[jkid12456]

patty not shooting well, he'll heat up

[timtonymanu]

Awful lineup. Not surprised we're letting them back in it right now.

[ElNono]

patty is mr 3rd/4th quarter... not worried here

[TheGoldStandard]

Spurs tried to sell errors at the deadline.. teams were asking for parker to be paired with him..

[RD2191]

patty not shooting well, he'll heat up
yeah, he eventually chucks his way back to decent stats. the dude is garbage

[ElNono]

Tony mad... quelle surprise

[ElNono]

fuck there's Cojo... come on Pop

[TheGoldStandard]

Errors smh

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

wow

[timtonymanu]

Errors scored on per par

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Fuck ayres tbh

[TheGoldStandard]

Lol Frye bullying ayres

[Cry Havoc]

GOD DAMN REFS.... just kidding, we are sucking. :lol

[Raven]

not good.

[ElNono]

lol Pop

[loveforthegame]

:td

[r0drig0lac]

morris brothers killing spurs

[Libri]

Too easy for the Suns.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Ayres in = 17 straight points

[Darius Bieber]

damn Spurs suck.. 17-0 run lmao

[timtonymanu]

:td :td :td Awful

[$pursDynasty]

I blame Pop for that crap, horrible lineup, and no guidance from Pop.

[TheGoldStandard]

Nobody offered a hand to Ayres even his teammates hate him

[DapDaGenius]

LOL 17-0 run. We're playin' like buttholes out there.

[ElNono]

who would've thought this lineup would suck... :rolleyes

[crc21209]

Pop must not give a fuck tonight playing that lineup. Joseph, Brown, and Ayres. Terrible lineup. No Tim? No Manu? No Beli?

[jkid12456]

yeah, he eventually chucks his way back to decent stats. the dude is garbage

fuck up as soon as patty sat they went on a 11 pt run, everybody is shooting bad incl green.

[DapDaGenius]

Nobody offered a hand to Ayres even his teammates hate him

Probably trying to make him look as bad as possible, so the FO will get rid of him ASAP.

[SpurPadre]

Ayres is close to surpassing Bonner as number one on my shitlist.

[Mikeanaro]

Pop looks like coach Mike K. right now, thats why they want Pop for team USA

[timtonymanu]

Errors should just retire at basketball tonight.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

scrub point guard going off per par

[ElNono]

Cojo one disaster after another

[Mikeanaro]

Fuck Cojo

[DapDaGenius]

Wow...this is just bad play, after bad play for us.

[TheGoldStandard]

Errors should retire from life. where is kavorkians death machine

[Raven]

thank god we have duncan

[spurs10]

It's amazingly bad...

[$pursDynasty]

to blame this crap on Ayers is just wrong, this goes way beyond him, in fact I can't recall him creating many errors so far.

[Cry Havoc]

Tim and 1. Needed that. LONG way to go in this game.

[crc21209]

About damn time...

[AusSpur]

De Colo would never let this happen!

[timtonymanu]

Mills and Joseph both look awful tonight.

[RD2191]

fuck up as soon as patty sat they went on a 11 pt run, everybody is shooting bad incl green.
rofl, mills was 0-6 and terrible on d

[r0drig0lac]

tim :toast

[Cry Havoc]

In other news, omg this burrito is delicious om nom nom.

[ElNono]

Cojo with the...

1) chuck 3
2) terrible transition D
3) turnover

he's having problems tonight

[timtonymanu]

In other news, omg this burrito is delicious om nom nom.

What kind of burrito?

[crc21209]

rofl, mills was 0-6 and terrible on d

CoJo's timid "dribble the ball up with the deer in the headlights non-offensive threat look" doesnt help either...

[SAmagic]

Its times like this Tony needs to come in and go hero at least he scores when no one else is but no people have to complain being to much of a hero.

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop will start running iso for bonner

[timtonymanu]

fuck up as soon as patty sat they went on a 11 pt run, everybody is shooting bad incl green.

Come on now. Mills' missing so many shots was also a factor. Don't be a homer. He still has time to turn things around though.

[Mikeanaro]

Its times like this Tony needs to come in and go hero at least he scores when no one else is but no people have to complain being to much of a hero.
You mean in times like game 6/7?

[Cry Havoc]

What kind of burrito?

Freebirds, baby! Best burritos I've ever had.

http://myoraclevp.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Freebirds1-small.jpg

The Super Monster is freaking amazing.

[Raven]

not good at all.

[ElNono]

Cojo's guy gonna have a career night... book it

[Cry Havoc]

:lol Suns blowing their load like it's a Finals game.

[ElNono]

Good job Gino

[Cry Havoc]

Great call. Obvious charge.

[Raven]

wtf dragič

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

manu was gunna swat that shit tbh

[Mikeanaro]

Tragic sucks

[ElNono]

damn Manu, gonna finish that

[Cry Havoc]

Lmfao "If you're an official how do you see that!?" Maybe because the official knows what Ju Jitsu looks like?

[SpurPadre]

Pop will start running iso for bonner
Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ElNono]

we're missing right at the basket now

[Darius Bieber]

Game over tbh

[Johnny RIngo]

Cory Joseph's a horrible, horrible point guard. Running the offense into the ground

[Cry Havoc]

we're missing right at the basket now

Kawhi's length would help a lot too, would contain some of this ish.

[TheGoldStandard]

Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He will take someone off dribble and hit that hook.

[weebo]

The guys look disinterested out there...

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop can't even run his scrub unit out there.. they're already playing

[crc21209]

Would've been a good game to have Kawhi...:td

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Our offense sucks with cojo out there

[ElNono]

That lineup with Splitter was killing it with defense, and we just went away from it

[DesignatedT]

Would've been a good game to have Kawhi...:td

Yeah too bad he broke his hand.

[TheGoldStandard]

Shit... This is why we need Daye.. he'd be raining 3s and blocking shots all daye

[ElNono]

it's the offense though... 2-15 this quarter

[ElNono]

scrub going off per par

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

omg can somebody guard that scrub smith plz

[ElNono]

gino flop :tu

[Cry Havoc]

Announcers bitching about being up 17. :lmao Fucking cocksuckers.

[BanditHiro]

this team is done.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

score the damn ball

[Cry Havoc]

this team is done.

The cliff jumping bads, per par.

[loveforthegame]

So happy Leonard is getting all this extra rest to have his minutes limited when he returns.

[ElNono]

come on, little run here

[Raven]

That lineup with Splitter was killing it with defense, and we just went away from it

story of the year.

[jkid12456]

finally

[TheGoldStandard]

We want Daye

[ElNono]

come on Timmy

[AusSpur]

looking like that loss teams often have when Ish Smith cant be contained :rolleyes

[jkid12456]

patty tryin to cook a little, starting to fire up the oven

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

[Cry Havoc]

Dear god someone hit a 3.

[ElNono]

Gino still can't knock a 3 down... sucks

[SpurPadre]

We're still in this, tbh.

[Robz4000]

Yep, Manu's shot is broken...

[AusSpur]

shooting 28.2%

[RD2191]

this team is done.
smh, never go full rodiaz

[Spur|n|Austin]

Gino still can't knock a 3 down... sucks

I don't remember the last 3 he hit, I feel almost positive his shot won't drop when he fires.

[ElNono]

Yep, Manu's shot is broken...

form was fine I thought... just didn't go in

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

yea we played absolutely horrible that whole quarter, but yet only down 12
we can still get this.
