Bruno can you change it to "Game 59"

[Robz4000]

So will this be the infamous Tony Return Game?

[SupremeGuy]

Tony should sit for another week. I don't want him to have any excuse for weak ass shit the rest of the way.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

TONYYYY

[freetiago]

wont need Tony vs Dallas

as long as Splitter/Diaw are up for the job guarding Dirk which will be difficult given the way theyre playing and Pop sticks with Leonard/Green on Ellis and not Mills/Belenelli/Manu it should be an easy win

Dallas is a terrible defensive team since they have no rim protectors
should be a layup fest or a 3 point fest when they have to overcompensate for the lack of rim protection and given the way the Spurs have been shooting 3s I say its a blowout

sucks that Dallas has been terrible since 2011 since I look forward to Spurs/Dallas games but they just cant compete right now
I think the only game theyve won in the past few years was that game where the Spurs bench went crazy in the lockout season and started raining 3s
Danny hit the gamewinner but it was called off

Daye plays for 15 seconds. Spursfans forget about Granger and about trading Paul George.

[Mikeanaro]

Im ok with Tony resting some more time there is no need to hurry things

[jARS mEsH sEt]

That Danny Green "game winner" was called correctly. The ball was clearly still in his hands.

Don't think anyone disagrees. Still pathetic for Dallas that that's their only recent victory.

[Robz4000]

Thunder D is about to drop to the bottom tier of the NBA. Sefolosha has been terrible on offense but he's still their best (maybe second best behind Durant these days) perimeter defender. Couple that with Perkins being out and their defense has two glaring holes. Their offense will prolly get back to ridiculous levels tho.

[DatBoyGood]

Damn OKC's injuries are hittin them right when the spurs are getting healthy. Now we get to see what Butler will do for them

Big blow to the Thunder. Sefolosha is easily one of OKC's top 5 players. He's their best perimeter defender and one of their best 3 point shooters.

If Playoffs started today, this would be our first round match up.

Now is definitely the time for this team to make a push for that 1st seed

[apalisoc_9]

One week rest is not enough for a guy that looks like he's about to fall off..

Should have extended his break for another 2 months.

[timtonymanu]

Hopefully Parker can get back into form now. Our championship hopes increase when he's 100%. Hopefully he stops getting torched by opposing PGs.

[Sean Cagney]

Tony should sit for another week. I don't want him to have any excuse for weak ass shit the rest of the way.
I agree.

[TE]

:flag:

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

It's such a a huge advantage that we can afford to rest our stars and not lose much ground. We haven't had Tony for a while and we are only 1.5 back of OKC

[Sean Cagney]

If Playoffs started today, this would be our first round match up.I have this as our first round matchup.

[TE]

It's such a a huge advantage that we can afford to rest our stars and not lose much ground. We haven't had Tony for a while and we are only 1.5 back of OKC
The RRT results are a hallmark of this team's ability to plug in players into roles that will allow them to produce positive contributions. The only other team that can do the same is Miami.

Not really much of a sneaker whore, but those are pretty sweet, imo.

[ace3g]

with the Raptors win over Warriors today; Mavs and Warriors are tied for 6th place right now.

[SupremeGuy]

Mavs been playing well... will not be an easy win.There are very few easy wins in professional sports, and even less when you're opponent is the freaking 6th seed in your conference. They're not some bottom dweller like the Lakers, tbh.

[loveforthegame]

Stay healthy. Get the win. :flag:

Now the all important question, should I make some drinks for the game?

Fuck Tim, we need those to go in.

[RD2191]

Go to work Kawhi, fuck man.

[loveforthegame]

Duncan missing jumpers.

[SupremeGuy]

LMAO at tiago's weak ass shit

[SupremeGuy]

Can someone please tell Tiago that's he's a 7 footer. Fuck.

[loveforthegame]

Welcome back Parker. :tu

[Robz4000]

Tony looks great on offense, but he looks slow as hell on D. Hopefully its coasting.

[loveforthegame]

Green missing too.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

soft ass Tiago..

Hero is hungry... fresh and hungry.

[SupremeGuy]

Fucking Blair throwing Tim down...

[Budkin]

WTF Blair?

[SupremeGuy]

FUCK something go in!

[timtonymanu]

Should have converted on those possessions. Come on.

[PingPong]

Dallas rebounding. Blair... lol

[crc21209]

Diaw had 2 layups. The passing was nice, but a bucket wouldve been better...

[Robz4000]

Pop tinkering when he doesn't have to. Spurs were fixing to blow the game open and he puts in an abortion of a lineup.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Playing good D, but cant hit anything outside

[TE]

I don't mind the unselfishness, those shots have to go down tho

[r0drig0lac]

Carter could have played here

[Budkin]

6-0 run Mavs. Come on Spurs.

[SupremeGuy]

Time for Baynes to go off, tbh!

[crc21209]

Baynes in! Hopefully Pop has given up on Errors...

[Budkin]

Baynes already? :lol

[crc21209]

Finally one goes in!

[SupremeGuy]

Boris isn't doing too great, bet he's glad that went in.

[crc21209]

:lol Harris

[ace3g]

dat passing

[loveforthegame]

That pass.

[SupremeGuy]

LMAO boris getting the easiest points ever

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Boris 2.0

[crc21209]

Diaw is so perfect for this team..:tu

[r0drig0lac]

diaw gonna ham

Fuck, please Baynes go off on blair, please...

[ace3g]

Baynes

[SupremeGuy]

Fuck yeah!

[timtonymanu]

Baynes >>>>> Errors

[crc21209]

Good shit Baynes. Errors wouldve fumbled the pass..

[SupremeGuy]

Damn vince

[timtonymanu]

WTF Boris

[ElNono]

damn, I thought the game started 6:30

[loveforthegame]

Blair has gone over the back twice and no call. WTF?

[SupremeGuy]

holy shit blair basically came down on Gino and no call? Plus Blair did the same shit to Baynes, wtf?

[RD2191]

:lmaoMills is garbage. Get that scrub off the floor.

[Budkin]

Blair being a bitter little bitch.

[ElNono]

hate NBATV broadcasts

[SupremeGuy]

damn, I thought the game started 6:30Weren't recording it? :nope

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

always been a fan of VC. Hes the best dunker of all time tbh or top 3 at least

[kjhip1]

Diaw has got such great feet around the basket. Very smart player when he gets in the paint.. Not so much when passing the ball in

[TE]

Guarantee if Blair had a Spurs jersey on he'd get called for those two obvious over the back fouls. Fat fuck was a foul magnet

[Johnny RIngo]

Baynes >>>>> Errors

Just about any big man in the NBA is better than Jeff. Don't know what the hell the Spurs were thinking signing him. They usually shy away from signing low IQ monkeyballers. Boylens must have been very persuasive with Pop and the FO.

[timtonymanu]

Shoot that Diaw.

[loveforthegame]

You have to take that Boris.

[ElNono]

Weren't recording it? :nope

not this one

[SupremeGuy]

Stupid passing wtf

[timtonymanu]

Here comes the pointless TOs. Pick it up, guys.

[TE]

Two possessions in a row, two TO's

[r0drig0lac]

manu is crazy

[Raven]

it's hard to believe dallas is actually a play off team

[timtonymanu]

Again, stupid turnovers.

[crc21209]

Another damn TO

[ElNono]

Turnobili

[TE]

Another fucking turnover

[SupremeGuy]

lol TO manu is back

[loveforthegame]

Passes are a little too much.

[RD2191]

Get CoJo out there, Mills is a scrub.

[ElNono]

there we go... much better in transition

[SupremeGuy]

Fuck, just feed the Monster Baynes!

[loveforthegame]

Daye inactive?

[ace3g]

Daye inactive?

yep

[SupremeGuy]

Baynes stat padding lol

[ElNono]

boris 2.0

[kjhip1]

Easy points for diaw

[RD2191]

ace called a big game by diaw

[r0drig0lac]

wow boris

[loveforthegame]

yep

Thanks.

[SupremeGuy]

BAYNESSSSSSSSSSSSS

[ElNono]

Bayne!

[loveforthegame]

Baynes doing some work.

[SupremeGuy]

lol Baynes going for a triple double

[Johnny RIngo]

it's hard to believe dallas is actually a play off team

Dallas and Phoenix are going to be very easy first round matchups for whoever draws them

[jkid12456]

BAYNESSS

[kjhip1]

Baynes looks for fluid with second unit not like he who shall remain nameless

[Cry Havoc]

Dear Godgive Baynes more minutes.

[freetiago]

one of the worst parts of the NBA is how they saddle "no name" players with fouls for nothing
Baynes couldnt get a call on his shot under the rim and on the other side he gets the weakest touch fouls

[crc21209]

Baynes is having a good game. Hopefully this means the end of Errors for good now.

[timtonymanu]

Baynes' performance is probably another fluke. But its better than watching Errors get scored on in every play/allowing and 1's or failing to catch the ball from a perimeter guy.

[TE]

Already Baynes shows he's a better player than Ayres.

[SupremeGuy]

Baynes getting coached up! Hell yeah, that's a great sign.

[kjhip1]

At least Baynes has "fluke" games. Not sure if ayers has had a good game

[SupremeGuy]

That was totally 5 seconds... NOOOO don't take out the Monster!!!

[Mikeanaro]

He is better than Ayres I dont know whats happens inside Pops mind

[Budkin]

Fuck yes Baynes... making up for the shitty offseason and trade deadline!

[ElNono]

dont get in foul trouble Boris

[SupremeGuy]

Damn, good shit Dirk.

[SupremeGuy]

GREEENNNN MONEY!

[ElNono]

v3

[timtonymanu]

Fuck yes Baynes... making up for the shitty offseason and trade deadline!

:lol Not even close.

If anyone has made up for the lackluster front office moves, it's Diaw 2.0 and Mills' improvement.

[Cry Havoc]

How the FUCK IS THAT NOT OVER THE BACK

[RD2191]

:wakeup

[SupremeGuy]

lol dirk going off

[jiggy_55]

How the FUCK IS THAT NOT OVER THE BACK
SERIOUSLY!

[SupremeGuy]

Damn KY ballin'!

[loveforthegame]

More of that Leonard.

Fucking Timmy owning bitches.

[loveforthegame]

Splitter driving me fucking crazy.

[timtonymanu]

Awful game from Splitter. Just go with baynes/diaw

[SupremeGuy]

So ummm can we get Baynes back in there? Splitter's pussy is trashing the floor.

[SpurPadre]

Nice pass to the opposing team, SOFTIE SPLITTER!

[Raven]

hard not to get excited about the starters, the bench still has a long way to go though

[Mikeanaro]

TIAGO STOCKTON!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago and Green with some terrible decisions. Need to make the easy pass

[SupremeGuy]

VC has to be on PEDs, tbh...

[Cry Havoc]

Greeen!

[crc21209]

Tony missed a wide open Kawhi!

[ElNono]

lmao enrique... kawhi is wide open

[SupremeGuy]

Pop should ask Splitter if he needs to change his fucking tampon.

[SupremeGuy]

lmao enrique... kawhi is wide openShare glory? Not his style.

[TE]

Kawhi pissed he didn't the ball

[kjhip1]

Kawhi pissed he didn't the ball

Saw that too

[Mikeanaro]

Kawhi was wide open, hero hesitated to shoot but then... he is a hero

[SupremeGuy]

Kawhi pissed he didn't the ballHuh?

[SpurPadre]

TP will just tell Kawhi that Pop told him he has to be in attack mode. Maybe if Kawhi's girlfriend is hot, TP might pass it to him more often.

[timtonymanu]

Kawhi seriously needs more touches. The front office failed to get a competent backup SF so Kawhi needs an improved role.

[RD2191]

:bang

[timtonymanu]

Finally, Tiago.

[loveforthegame]

Splitter finally.

[RD2191]

Kawhi seriously needs more touches. The front office failed to get a competent backup SF so Kawhi needs an improved role.
Well he needs to stop and being a pussy and man up. He has been pretty passive tonight, get the ball and go to work.

[Cry Havoc]

Tiago reading spurs talk from the bench. :hat

[RD2191]

:lmao

[Cry Havoc]

Well he needs to stop and being a pussy and man up. He has been pretty passive tonight, get the ball and go to work.

More than that. Dude needs to DEMAND the ball.

:bang
Goddamn son, you have more posts than I do :lol

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. Yikes. :lol

[ElNono]

damn it

[Raven]

say whatever you want, but green is improving his ballhandling, passing, driving and shooting off the dribble a lot.

[Cry Havoc]

Well he needs to stop and being a pussy and man up. He has been pretty passive tonight, get the ball and go to work.

Dude wtf you're actually becoming observant... Spooky.

[freetiago]

Duncan needs to stop being horrible in first halfs tbh...

Okay Tony, you can pass the ball brotha

[RD2191]

[timtonymanu]

Sigh I don't miss Parker's poor court vision.

Manu feels Kawhi's pain.

Kawhi playing lazy. Fuck him if he's going to jog back on D. Pop gonna go ham on him at halftime.

No one is going to hand stardom to you Leonard. Go out there and fucking dominate.

Parkers fault he makes cuts too late and jogs back on D too, right?

Sigh. Spurs get too comfortable with their lead again and give it away. So frustrating with this team's energy sometimes.

[SupremeGuy]

Wow. Manu's horrible passing, Tiago's softness, and Parker's lack-of-passing are killing us.

[Cry Havoc]

LMAO you can't be serious? Parker missed him twice when he was WIDE open...

So what's Kawhi doing when Parker isn't in? He's putting up bucket after bucket right? I'll wait for you to respond.

[crc21209]

I hate when fuckers like Ellis are rewarded for taking a shit shot...

[TE]

Such a terrible way to end to the quarter. Couldn't have been worse, tbh.

[timtonymanu]

We should be up by more. Duncan has to get it going in the 2nd half.

[ElNono]

they'll cool down from downtown... but we need to keep em in check on the perimeter

[SpurPadre]

I hate when fuckers like Ellis are rewarded for taking a shit shot...

Gary Neal is the king in that department.

[SupremeGuy]

So what's Kawhi doing when Parker isn't in? He's putting up bucket after bucket right? I'll wait for you to respond.So he's not Jordan, how does that excuse TP's crappy vision and lack of passing?

[Cry Havoc]

Still up one. Team is finally healthy... Going to take some time to gel. You guys expecting us to dominate after one half of play together are silly.

[crc21209]

Cut down the damn TO's and stupid passes and we should be fine...

[Cry Havoc]

Green out boarding Y Y. That's probably Tony's fault too.

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop did take that time out and probably told Parker, "you're looking for your shot, you're dribbling to look for a certain spot on the floor but look at your teammates" and then after that he tries to get it into Kawhi.. It will take some time, Parker still has little trust in anyone outside of Duncan but that's the revolving door that does that..

[TE]

Still up one. Team is finally healthy... Going to take some time to gel. You guys expecting us to dominate after one half of play together are silly.
I get your vibe but throwing away the ball is unforgivable tbh.

[TheGoldStandard]

Most of those turnovers were pretty silly

[timtonymanu]

Yeah, Spurs have to keep Ellis and Carter in check.

[Raven]

on a side note, okc's starting lineup today:
steven adams 20 - 7ft
perry jones III 22 - 6-11ft
kevin durant 25 - 6-9ft
russell westbrook 25 -6-3ft
serge ibaka 24 - 6-10ft

and you could argue durant and westchimp are 2inches taller than that.. pretty absurd tbh

[ElNono]

Baynes played well... which probably means going with Errors in the 2nd half

[Cry Havoc]

I get your vibe but throwing away the ball is unforgivable tbh.

That's the problem with being injured. Chemistry suffers. It's a process.

[timtonymanu]

Still up one. Team is finally healthy... Going to take some time to gel. You guys expecting us to dominate after one half of play together are silly.

It's the careless turnovers, which have been an issue for a while now. Duncan just needs a better 2nd half and we can win this.

[SpurPadre]

Still up one. Team is finally healthy... Going to take some time to gel. You guys expecting us to dominate after one half of play together are silly.

Sure but one can't help but think we're missing something in terms of athleticism, speed and aggressiveness. I'm sure the latter will pick up on time for the playoffs but the other two worrying areas just couldn't be addressed.

[Johnny RIngo]

Close game but mostly due to Mavs fluky shooting and sloppy turnovers from the Spurs. TD, Manu, Tiago, and Patty have to play better.

[Cry Havoc]

It's the careless turnovers, which have been an issue for a while now. Duncan just needs a better 2nd half and we can win this.

Again, no consistent lineups. Players take time to acclimate to each other.

[Cry Havoc]

Sure but one can't help but think we're missing something in terms of athleticism, speed and aggressiveness. I'm sure the latter will pick up on time for the playoffs but the other two worrying areas just couldn't be addressed.

We're upgraded last year in athleticism and speed. We have Mills playing consistently, Kawhi a year older and better (despite what others will say, his numbers bear this out), and Marco. Diaw is also playing much better.

If most teams had been hit with the injuries we have, they'd be fighting for playoff position at the bottom of the West, not a game and a half out of first in one of the most stacked conferences in HISTORY.

[RD2191]

rofl robdiaz

[freetiago]

what are the chances some incest is going on between those 2 being interviewed tbh...

[TE]

That's the problem with being injured. Chemistry suffers. It's a process.
Some of the turnovers go beyond lack of chemistry. For example, Tiago and Diaw's turnovers both on the perimeter and that stupid inbounds pass.
