Game 57: Pistons @ Spurs - February 26th, 2014 - 7:30 PM CT

[TheGoldStandard]

Seriously... how long is Errors going to play he's been in there since the 1st

[Dex]

People want to bitch about the Spurs lack of front office savvy recently, but this season would be sunk if the Spurs hadn't picked up Marco on the cheap.

[TheGoldStandard]

Lol Diaw, easy layup and went for something that missed

[Hoops Czar]

People want to bitch about the Spurs lack of front office savvy recently, but this season would be sunk if the Spurs hadn't picked up Marco on the cheap.:lmao

[TheGoldStandard]

I hope strongly to every deity of the world... that this is not a sign of things to come for playoff ball. Errors has played legit minutes.. smh

[r0drig0lac]

belli wanted to play the Spurs for less money, not act as if the front office had been important in this case

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

YESSS Ayres sits down

[Cry Havoc]

People want to bitch about the Spurs lack of front office savvy recently, but this team is in second place in the West with a ton of injuries and people who think that's a poor reflection on management are fucking idiots.

[bdubya]

Bynum-to-Drummond.....WANT MORE

[r0drig0lac]

josh on pace to triple double with 40 points

[TheGoldStandard]

belli wanted to play the Spurs for less money, not act as if the front office had been important in this case

FO: Damn, okay well... I guess we'll just sign Neal and be done with the off season, mission..

Secretary: Marco Bellinelli's agent on line 1

FO: Okay.. uh sure he can sign with us.. (hangs up) Mission accomplished

[ElNono]

guess Kawhi will play limited minutes

[loveforthegame]

turnovers. :bang

[Mugen]

Hope the Spurs can shake the rust off in the 2nd half tbh.

[TheGoldStandard]

guess Kawhi will play limited minutes

More for the behemoth..

[timtonymanu]

Yeah you're not gonna win games turning the ball over every possession. Wake the fuck up, Spurs.

[bklynspursfan]

Ayres with some solid minutes

[bdubya]

josh on pace to triple double with 40 points

.....in a loss.

[itzsoweezee]

Hope Kawhi didn't hurt his hand on that dunk. His absence is starting to worry me.

[Cry Havoc]

FO: Damn, okay well... I guess we'll just sign Neal and be done with the off season, mission..

Secretary: Marco Bellinelli's agent on line 1

FO: Okay.. uh sure he can sign with us.. (hangs up) Mission accomplished

Yeah, it's amazing how players want to sign for a team with a good front office. Kind of fucks up your entire theory, doesn't it? Our front office is SOOOOOOO TERRIBLE that we picked up a huge guy off the bench for free.

[TheGoldStandard]

International player..

One who turned down more money at that for us

[TheGoldStandard]

Oh Shit kawhi is back

[pgardn]

Slop.

Both ends.

We will work it out.

[Hoops Czar]

Leonard's back; Splitters's back; Detroit shooting almost 55%.

[ElNono]

wow, Manu comes in and we immediately tie the game!

[bklynspursfan]

They'll wake up in the 2nd half. I feel like they are always rusty on their first game from the rrt

[Mugen]

2nd time Manu has ran away from the guy with the ball tbh :lol

[jkid12456]

mills heating up for 4th quarter

[Hoops Czar]

One who turned down more money at that for us

Durant wanted him too... And Presti turned down Durant. Go figure.

[RD2191]

rofl spurs gonna allow 60 in the half

[ElNono]

heading for franchise record on TO

[loveforthegame]

These turnovers are a joke on us right? Spurs just being funny. Only not.

[DapDaGenius]

LOL Tim knew he was going to miss that.

[loveforthegame]

Welcome back Leonard. :tu

[TheGoldStandard]

Kawhi in the Post.. more please

[crc21209]

I hate Stuckey and Bynum. I swear those fucks only play well against us...

[Robz4000]

Manu has been absolutely terrible tonight.

[TheGoldStandard]

I hate Stuckey and Bynum. I swear those fucks only play well against us...
There is 1 player on every team that salivates over the Spurs.

[crc21209]

Mills and Beli are the only reason the Spurs are hanging in there..

[timtonymanu]

I'll attribute this to rust, but jeez what is with our home intensity vs the road? We look like shit at home compared to how great we look on the road.

[pgardn]

Ginobili's man to man D is gone.

Off the ball he is still valuable.

[TheGoldStandard]

Manu has been absolutely terrible tonight.

He was pretty shaken up over lebron's broken nose.

[TE]

TO's and being out of sync both defensively and offensively is fucking us up. It doesn't help that the other team has gotten into a groove and hits every fucking shot.

[loveforthegame]

He was pretty shaken up over lebron's broken nose.

:lol

[ElNono]

great steal and assist... slowly Manu has as many assists as turnovers tonight

[TheGoldStandard]

Looks like Tiago is laying off the estrogen tonight

[tholdren]

Lmfao errors outplaying Splitter by far

[TheGoldStandard]

Lmfao errors outplaying Splitter by far

Now even you can't seriously believe that.. Errors fails at everything..

[pgardn]

great steal and assist... slowly Manu has as many assists as turnovers tonight

He is fantastic at anticipating on D. If he just had his speed...

[r0drig0lac]

[QUOTE = tholdren; 7158753] Lmfao errors outplaying Splitter by far [/ QUOTE] NO

[ElNono]

great D by Manu again :tu

[loveforthegame]

Leonard with 9 points, a couple rebounds, couple assists, couple blocks. Not bad for his first game back.

[TheGoldStandard]

Manu with a busted shoe, lol

[DapDaGenius]

FUCK YEAH TIMMY!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

[ace3g]

wow Manu's shoes, lol

[HarlemHeat37]

Kyle Singler is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen on an NBA court, tbh..embarrassing that he's killing the Spurs..

[ElNono]

this lineup right now it's the best we have...

[pgardn]

That's the D started by Manu

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

WTFF EXPLODING SHOES

Glad I watched that shoe video last week tbh.

[weeks]

[Mugen]

:lol wtf

[RD2191]

sue nike, coulda been a career ender

[SupremeGuy]

LMAO Manu's foot went through the bottom of his shoe! WTF?! Never seen that before.

[DapDaGenius]

Doesn't Manu wear Lebron Nike's?

[r0drig0lac]

:lol manuuuuuu

[pgardn]

WTFF EXPLODING SHOES

Holy batshit.

Thank god for ankle braces.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

[DarkGinobili]

LOL SHOE

[timtonymanu]

Bonner should have a good pair of New Balance in the locker room.

[Mikeanaro]

Those are shoes not even chinese maybe bolivian...

[KL2]

Classic Manu tbh

[TheGoldStandard]

Those didn't look like the 11's

[RD2191]

Bonner should have a good pair of New Balance in the locker room.
:lol

[NASpurs]

Did Manu go to Payless again?

[TheGoldStandard]

Peak's wouldn't do that. lol

[ElNono]

lol Made in Argentina shoes

[KL2]

Manu's scar on the back of his head looks like that breast cancer ribbon

[RD2191]

Those didn't look like the 11's
any new ayres jokes?

[Robz4000]

Welp, I'll take the lead. Need to stop turning it over tbh.

[ElNono]

damn, good block

[timtonymanu]

We're fortunate to have the lead cause we should be down with the way we played that half. Cut down the TOs and the pretty passes and we should win.

[KL2]

Hate that cruncha muncha commercial, annoying as fuck!

[crc21209]

I think the Spurs held the Pistons scoreless for the last 3 mins or so. Thats a start...:tu

[ElNono]

if a shoe is the only thing amused thread breaks tonight, I'll take it :tu

[pgardn]

A few good defensive series and surprise, the lead.

[NASpurs]

Fucking @Amused, not even the shoes are safe from his curse.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

play daye tbh..............

[TheGoldStandard]

any new ayres jokes?

His son has officially changed his name back to Pendergraph.

[DapDaGenius]

any new ayres jokes?

Ayres sucks so bad, that you didn't notice that he sucks so bad.

[RD2191]

His son has officially changed his name back to Pendergraph.
:lmao

[pgardn]

Manu fits perfectly with the chaos insurance role.

[RD2191]

Ayres sucks so bad, that you didn't notice that he sucks so bad.
good job good effort:lol

[DapDaGenius]

His son has officially changed his name back to Pendergraph.

Jeff's son: Father? I have no father.

lol

[r0drig0lac]

Jeff's son: Father? I have no father.
:lol

[freetiago]

once again the game is decided by Errors
Spurs had a 22-16 lead when he checked in
when he checked out the Pistons had a lead

but he somehow managed to be the 2nd worst player on the floor
Ginboilis offense: turn the ball over
defense: lose track of whoever hes guarding

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

His son has officially changed his name back to Pendergraph.

Gold

[pgardn]

The bottom fell out has so much more meaning now...

[TheGoldStandard]

When Ayres was looking for his father he thought David Robinson could be the one... you know because he's almost as athletic as him.

[ElNono]

http://distilleryimage5.ak.instagram.com/0d3dc6589f5811e394da12766a112465_8.jpg

look like your run-of-the-mill Nikes made in Panama by 7 year olds...

[TheGoldStandard]

Jeff's son: Father? I have no father.

What you talking about, it's Malik Rose

[RD2191]

When Ayres was looking for his father he thought David Robinson could be the one... you know because he's almost as athletic as him.

Those are Nike Patas with that Nike Zoom Manu.. feels like you're barefoot

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Does anyone else think Manu lacks confidence? I swear if a couple of shots don't go in, he doesn't really shoot much for the rest of the game lol. I like his aggressiveness. Well, rephrase that.. his passive aggressiveness. :lol

[ElNono]

Does anyone else think Manu lacks confidence? I swear if a couple of shots don't go in, he doesn't really shoot much for the rest of the game lol. I like his aggressiveness. Well, rephrase that.. his passive aggressiveness. :lol

tbh, he looks like he's playing at 1/3 the speed this game... probably some rust

[ElNono]

the Alamo looks huge on TV...

[boutons_deux]

great close to 2nd qtr

[boutons_deux]

Spurs now outshooting 49% vs 47%

[ElNono]

any chance we play the 2nd half with Daye/Baynes instead of Errors?

[jkid12456]

WHOS DOING BETTER COJO OR PATTY?

[loveforthegame]

any chance we play the 2nd half with Daye/Baynes instead of Errors?

I know it's wishful thinking but hoping to see Daye.

[ElNono]

lmao Pistons broadcast still showing Chauncey and Big Ben...

[RD2191]

WHOS DOING BETTER COJO OR PATTY?
CoJo

[Mugen]

CoJo played damn good in the 1st and then doesn't sniff time in the 2nd qtr??

[Dex]

lmao Pistons broadcast still showing Chauncey and Big Ben...

With the shitshow that the Pistons have been over the past 5 years...can you blame them?

[TE]

Cojo has played really well. Appropriate aggressiveness and really good defense.

[jkid12456]

patty doing better, he made good shots, but patty had to deal with errors, so detroit had a bit of a lead.

[TheGoldStandard]

In other news Cavs up by 4 against OKC

It's because westbrook is back.. takes up the shots that were going for everyone else..

[bdubya]

Pistons no ball movement, shooting bricks, giving up easy points....brought their 4th-quarter game early.

[ace3g]

blow this game out and get Daye in the game

[crc21209]
