Game 58: Spurs vs Bobcats: Fri. Feb 28, 2014 7:30 PM

[ElNono]

Not anymore than Aldridge is a matchup issue but Tiago plays.. can't have a 10M guy only playing 15 minutes a game.

Completely different players... Aldrige is a jumpshooter, Jefferson is a back to the basket guy with a lot of moves...

[Raven]

:lol out tonight and just checked the score. Losing to Bobcats at home? *sigh*

there have been some good signs tbh

[Baam]

Not anymore than Aldridge is a matchup issue but Tiago plays.. can't have a 10M guy only playing 15 minutes a game.

Have you watched the start of the game, he was Ayresque in the post...

[DapDaGenius]

This guy is playing his best ball of the season the last 1 & a half games coming off a serious injury, I wonder how much Parker being out has to do with it or whether it's being fresh (IIRC someone made a thread mentioning Leonard bulking up, I didn't notice at first but he defiantly looks a bit bigger in this camo jersey).


I remember a lot of people complaining, during game threads, that Tony wouldn't pass the ball to Kawhi at certain times. I can't remember if that was last season or early this season. Probably both.

[Johnny RIngo]

but Tony would have to pass it a bit more :lol

He doesn't pass more because his court vision isn't at the same level as other great PGs. We just have to live with the fact that Tony will look for his shot first and his teammates second.

[Mikeanaro]

Early this season too

[ElNono]

good to see TD ok

[TheGoldStandard]

Completely different players... Aldrige is a jumpshooter, Jefferson is a back to the basket guy with a lot of moves...

So then he's a situational defender and average offensive threat?

[Raven]

danny got hot

[TheGoldStandard]

Come on, more movement and open shots like that

[Raven]

whatever patty

[TheGoldStandard]

God come on Patty, forcing shit up

[MeloHype]

:lol wtf was that

[ElNono]

So then he's a situational defender and average offensive threat?

He's a great complement to Tim on defense, and below average offensive threat.

[ElNono]

one point game

[TheGoldStandard]

Damnit boris

[Cry Havoc]

LETS DO THIS LEEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY JENKINSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Cry Havoc]

Good call.

[ElNono]

damn

[Mikeanaro]

nonsense

[ElNono]

thats a foul

[loveforthegame]

These turnovers. :bang

[ace3g]

from Tyreke's instagram

http://instagram.com/p/k-6gqlPUXl/

[Baam]

Hard to watch right now, nothing working on O for both teams...

[Mikeanaro]

Yeah thats a foul, like the 90s :lmao

[Cry Havoc]

OKC going HAM on Memphis.

[ElNono]

come on son take the lead

[Raven]

not too bad.

[ElNono]

good timeout... get a basket now

[TheGoldStandard]

Please no Ayres for the rest of the game.

[TheGoldStandard]

I'd rather go with a Hoosiers 4 on 5 than run Ayres out there.

(https://twitter.com/jabari_young)So Tim Duncan just passed Hakeem Olajuwon for 12th place on the all-time #NBA (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23NBA) rebs list...TD now has 13,750 rebs...Hakeem has 13,748 #Spurs (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Spurs)

[ElNono]

:lol Gino

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

ROFL

[Raven]

great playcall :lol

[MeloHype]

Wtf

[ElNono]

Bobcats return the favor

[Spur-Addict]

:lmao Turnobili

[TheGoldStandard]

Its the 3rd quarter and we haven't cracked 50

[Mikeanaro]

nice turnover

[ace3g]

Manu typical redemption 3

[ElNono]

Manu giveth, Manu taketh away

[MeloHype]

Finally

[TheGoldStandard]

No worries manu will now commit 3 turnovers

[Cry Havoc]

MANU. FINALLY.

[ElNono]

only fitting Gino gave us the lead

[Mikeanaro]

Whats that foul?

[ElNono]

TD and1

[ElNono]

patty and1

[Raven]

the neal-belinelli war is clearly on the former's side, so far.

[Johnny RIngo]

20 more rebounds and Duncan passes Wes Unseld for 11th place.

[ElNono]

damn Beli

[timtonymanu]

the neal-belinelli war is clearly on the former's side, so far.

I know you're not a fan of Beli but you can't tell me you prefer Neal. His defense is just as bad. :lol

[ElNono]

there it is

[TheGoldStandard]

No surprise, no Ayres and we have this great run

[ace3g]

dat Beli passing!!

[MeloHype]

Manu3333

[ElNono]

Manu been playing so much better in the second half the last couple games

[DapDaGenius]

MANU THE FUCK POOFACE!! YEAH!!

[jkid12456]

proud of patty even tho he aint shooting lights out

[Cry Havoc]

HERE WE GO. :danceclub

[ElNono]

12 more pts, plz, kthx

[Libri]

It's been a while since Manu had made more than one 3.

[timtonymanu]

Please don't fuck this up by putting in Errors.

Baynes, Bonner, Becky Hammon, Bill Land. Anyone but Errors.

[ElNono]

Errors time

[DapDaGenius]

Please don't fuck this up by putting in Errors.

Baynes, Bonner, Becky Hammon, Bill Land. Anyone but Errors.

Becky would be a nice addition to the team.

[ElNono]

Becky is sitting right next to TP... will be exchanging text messages soon

[TheGoldStandard]

We want Daye

[ElNono]

come on Tiago throw it down

[Libri]

The last time Manu had two 3-pointers was Jan 22.

[Raven]

can't believe tiago missed that

[Splits]

:cry protect our freedoms, troops :cry

[ElNono]

Manuuuuuuuu

[Cry Havoc]

Becky would be a nice addition to the team.

I can picture the scouting report:

Pros: Better handles than CoJo.

Weaknesses: Parker continues to derobe when they're on the bench together.

[TheGoldStandard]

can't believe tiago missed that

He is Tiago Splitter.. you know paper mache

[EVAY]

Becky is sitting right next to TP... will be exchanging text messages soon

You have mentioned this a couple of times now. To tell the truth, Tony looks like he is disgusted sitting next to her, tbh.

[ElNono]

Tiago cant make shit tonight

[timtonymanu]

Tiago, grow a pair.

[ElNono]

You have mentioned this a couple of times now. To tell the truth, Tony looks like he is disgusted sitting next to her, tbh.

probably, tbh... TP has a solid GF last time I looked

[ElNono]

damn Gino, shoulda gone right

[Libri]

Although, percentage wise the drop off is not to bad from last season.

[ElNono]

Tiago keepin em in this game, tbh

[crc21209]

All the work in that quarter undone in about 2 mins...

[Robz4000]

God dammit, what a shitty end to the quarter...

[timtonymanu]

Tiago playing awful tonight. Gonna have to go through TD all night.

[TheGoldStandard]

Jefferson > Tiago

[Baam]

probably, tbh... TP has a solid GF last time I looked

Becky Hammon is also a lesbian iirc.

[MeloHype]

:lol magic johnson

[ElNono]

what's maddening more than the offense is the defense getting killed inside... gotta rebound and boxout

[timtonymanu]

We have the lead which is good. Just no meltdown in the 4th.

[TheGoldStandard]

She's also a lesbian iirc.

I'd still give her a shot at the title

[Libri]

not unless you count the 2011-12 season

[EVAY]

Jefferson > Tiago

Jefferson is better than a lot of teams' centers, tbh. The guy is somebody I wish we had.

[ace3g]

Beli

[ElNono]

beli

[ElNono]

beli nealing with it

[EVAY]

Becky Hammon is also a lesbian iirc.

Actually that could explain Tony's looks. I'm serious. I don't know how he feels about anything, and I don't give a flying fig how people live their lives, but Tony has really looked sour every time the camera has found him next to her.

[Libri]

yup, all other stats are more or less the same

[Raven]

awful travel call

[crc21209]

Pop gave up on CoJo for tonight. He hasnt play all 2nd half..

[ElNono]

Lebron's crab dribble

[TheGoldStandard]

Actually that could explain Tony's looks. I'm serious. I don't know how he feels about anything, and I don't give a flying fig how people live their lives, but Tony has really looked sour every time the camera has found him next to her.

That's just his normal face.

[Splits]

Not a travel.

[ElNono]

That's just his normal face.

yeah, I was gonna say... he always looks kinda dull watching the games

[timtonymanu]

Stop with the fucking turnovers!

[ace3g]

Beli warming up

[ElNono]

marcoooo

[ElNono]

:lol Neal defense

[Johnny RIngo]

Pop gave up on CoJo for tonight. He hasnt play all 2nd half..

Should have given up on him two years ago.

[Raven]

you just knew he was gonna make that...

[Johnny RIngo]

rapist with the three

[ElNono]

get TD back in there and close this

[ace3g]

Darnell Mayberry @DarnellMayberry
(https://twitter.com/DarnellMayberry)Thunder carried a 16-point lead into the fourth quarter. Grizzlies have cut it to six with 4:22 left to play.

Clutch mother fucker

[Libri]

Beli with a tear drop/floater? He must have learned that with the Spurs.

[crc21209]

Beli vs. Neal. SpursTalk's dream. :lol Half of the people here were Neal Nut huggers, and the other half think Beli is the slightly better player for this team..

[Mikeanaro]

I like gary but marco is better

[ace3g]

3 pt game now for Grizz/Thunder

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

OKC choking :lol

[Cry Havoc]

DOWN TO 3!!! HOLY SHIT GO MEMPHIS!!!!!

[ace3g]

yeesh

[Raven]

that block was so anticlimatic tbh

[TheGoldStandard]

Wow, no rebounding whatsoever.. Austin Daye please?

[superjames1992]

LOL Kawhi got owned. That might be worse than LeBron's block on Tiago. Ouch.

[ElNono]

here comes TD

[crc21209]

What a bailout call!

[DapDaGenius]

Becky Hammon is also a lesbian iirc.

Like 95% of all female basketball players.

[EVAY]

What a bailout call!

exactly!!!

[Cry Havoc]

HOLY SHIT. That ref should be fired. Fuck that.

[TheGoldStandard]

Ref must have gotten the call that OKC is choking.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[Raven]

get belinelli out tbh, i'm tired of this shot exchanging.

[Cry Havoc]

God damn the Griz are bad. Just chucked a 30 footer with time on the shot clock.

[crc21209]

These refs...

[EVAY]

Same damn ref

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Pop be like "Ginobili? Belinelli? Nah we got Bonner"

[crc21209]

Durant stat padding per par...

[TheGoldStandard]

thunderefs in SA tonight to protect OKC

[ElNono]

time to stop fucking around and win this shit

[Budkin]

If we lose this I'm gonna kick something.

[TheGoldStandard]

Granger: Pop, I'd love to come to San Antonio but I gotta have some minutes, I don't want to come here for 2 minute bursts at the end of blowouts.

Pop: Shit, that's gonna be tough, we have Ayres and Bonner... you'd have to earn your spot behind those juggernauts

[ElNono]

Patty heating up!

[ace3g]

Patty up

[Cry Havoc]

There's that guy who sucks, saving our asses.

[ace3g]

Manu

[ElNono]

Manuuuuuuuuu

[Cry Havoc]

So pretty.

[ElNono]

Patty heating up!

[Raven]

see, you put a normal lineup, you win the game.

[ace3g]

Patty up!!!

[Budkin]

Nice

[EVAY]

Well done

[jkid12456]

MILLS BABY

[Mikeanaro]

MVPATTY!

[Budkin]

see, you put a normal lineup, you win the game.

This. Time for Pop to stop the mad scientist shit.

[Libri]

If we lose this I'm gonna kick something.

Sir, Errors is not playing so there's good chance Spurs will win. :D

[$pursDynasty]

Boris is that old dude at the YMCA that never looks impressive but never leaves the court because he always win. the guy knows all the tricks.

[timtonymanu]

Okay, no more allowing Hero Neal to put them back in the game.

[ElNono]

would bring back Kawhi for Danny, tbh

[crc21209]

Mills is far and away our best PG behind TP. CoJo has been given opportunity after opportunity and come up short..

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop goes with Errors.. lol

[ElNono]

but Danny has defended well too

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Patty is kicking ass!

[$pursDynasty]

Okay, no more allowing Hero Neal to put them back in the game.

Better put someone besides Marco on him then. Neal is torching him

[ElNono]

nice airball jackass

[Libri]

I'm concerned about Manu's 3-point shooting. :(

[ElNono]

can't hate, nice hustle by Gary

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Neal's getting scrappy out there.

[ElNono]

I'm concerned about Manu's 3-point shooting. :(

he rushed that one... no reason to

[EVAY]

Better put someone besides Marco on him then. Neal is torching him

I don't think so. Neal is 6 of 13 or 14 and Marco is 5 of 9, sooooo

No. Neal is not torching Marco.

[Baam]

Neal with it...

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

I'm concerned about Manu's 3-point shooting. :(

he's shooting a lot better than last year

[ElNono]

:wow

[superjames1992]

Manu dominant block.

[ElNono]

Manu with the block & flop

I miss Gary and IF his defense is so abysmal then why isn't the guy he is covering lighting up the Cats?

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Ginobili!

[Cry Havoc]

Manu fucking BALLING.

[Raven]

walker :lol

[ace3g]

Patty up steal

[r0drig0lac]

what a block

[ElNono]

not a fan of Pop going with Beli in these situations... much rather have Kawhi for D

[Trainwreck2100]

#shaqtinafool

[Libri]

he rushed that one... no reason to

Yes, but during the season he's had stretches where he hasn't shot well. Hopefully, he finishes the season strong.

[loveforthegame]

not a fan of Pop going with Beli in these situations... much rather have Kawhi for D

Pop probably forgot he was on the bench.

[ElNono]

Yes, but during the season he's had stretches where he hasn't shot well. Hopefully, he finishes the season strong.

his form was shit before the last injury, IMO... not so bad now

[ElNono]

lots of Gervin on that one

[Robz4000]

Good win

[Libri]

Manu with his tricks, per par

[ElNono]

smh Danny... let go of the ball

[ace3g]

don't throw to Green near sideline...

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Green getting smothered.

[Budkin]

C'mon Green

[superjames1992]

Come on, Danny. That was awful. At least it won't matter.

[.G.]

Spurs are here

[.G.]

...and they're here to say that the gang thing just ain't the right way

[Raven]

duncan with a quiet 17+16

[timtonymanu]

I'm here now, l we can start winning. :D

Post of the game thread. Worked right when you started posting. :lol

[Raven]

:cry win :cry

[ElNono]

that's gonna do it... :flag: We win

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Spurs win!

[ace3g]

Daye Time!!!

[jkid12456]

that slut talking to tony wants his D so bad

[TheGoldStandard]

Looking forward to Sunday.. potential first round matchup with Dallas..

[timtonymanu]

No Errors in the 2nd half. Even sweeter.

[TheGoldStandard]

Melissa can drop and give me 20

[timtonymanu]

Neal getting some love from his former teammates

[$pursDynasty]

I missed me some Melissa shots during the Rodeo Road Trip.

[Mugen]

Spurs win!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Nine more wins and we have yet another 50 win season.

[ElNono]

beat another playoff team! :hat

[TheGoldStandard]

Things are looking solid, Tony coming back hopefully on Sunday, looking to gel that chemistry and make a solid run.

[Robz4000]

I miss Gary tbh...

:cry Neal with it :cry

[$pursDynasty]

Things are looking solid, Tony coming back hopefully on Sunday, looking to gel that chemistry and make a solid run.

I don't know If I wouldn't prefer Tony sitting out another week since everyone else is back.

[Johnny RIngo]

Solid win. Great game for TD. Horrid night for Tiago - only 2 pts, 1 reb in 15 mins.

+21 Patty
+18 Duncan
+15 Manu
+6 Diaw
+2 Leonard
+2 Green
+2 Belinelli
0 Bonner
-2 Baynes
-4 Ayres
-5 Joseph
-8 Tiago

[Johnny RIngo]

I miss Gary tbh...

:cry Neal with it :cry

I don't. We have enough guards as is.

[$pursDynasty]

I miss Gary tbh...

:cry Neal with it :cry

I do too

[SpursFan86]

Didn't like how Kawhi sat out down the stretch, but hard to hate the results. All the guys in place of him played well down the wire. Good win.

[TheGoldStandard]

I don't know If I wouldn't prefer Tony sitting out another week since everyone else is back.
I originally thought March 12th for a return, Portland but I dunno.. he might need some time to get his rhythm.

[Robz4000]

I don't. We have enough guards as is.

I'd take him back for Errors. Better another guard than a waste of space.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

I miss Gary tbh...

:cry Neal with it :cry

same... but then i think about his D

[jeebus]

I'd take him back for Errors. Better another guard than a waste of space.
Fuck that. I don't want either of them.

[Johnny RIngo]

I'd take him back for Errors. Better another guard than a waste of space.

I've been saying Ayres sucks ever since we signed him. You don't hand out MLE money to a 27 year old player that has little to no skills. With that said, we don't really need another scoring guard on this team.

Beli with career high 10 straight 10+ point scoring games

[Cry Havoc]

Post of the game thread. Worked right when you started posting. :lol

Hell yeah. Faith can move mountains. Or encourage Neal to go into Kobe mode. :stir

[TheGoldStandard]

I've been saying Ayres sucks ever since we signed him. You don't hand out MLE money to a 27 year old player that has little to no skills. With that said, we don't really need another scoring guard on this team.

Jeff Ayres has only had one shining moment in his life. He's been playing hide and seek with his father for 20+ years and he has yet to find him.

[Robz4000]

Fuck that. I don't want either of them.

This team needs more Choo Choo Chucker!
