Game 60: Spurs vs Cavs: Tue. Mar 4, 2014 6:00 PM

[Mugen]

should have let Kawhi finish the half tbh.

[Ditty]

Can't wait to be at Thursday's game. Going to rock the At&t Center!

[Cry Havoc]

Tiago has missed EVERYTHING at the rim.

At least he catches the pass tbh.

To be fair all the fucking carrots in Cleveland are gone with all these bunnies we're missing.

[ElNono]

where's freetiago to :downspin: this shit? :lol

[crc21209]

lol faggot

Good comeback..:tu

[RD2191]

Good comeback..:tu
:hat

[poeticism707]

Tony and Mills in the game at the same time: love it.

[DPG21920]

Tony looks rusty as fuck... Tiago gotta finish at the rim

Everyone does. Manu looks like he's in slow motion and is throwing the ball everywhere. Tim hitting the front of the rim. Kawhi missed a ton of post up's. Just not crisp.

Dion Waiters looks good. He's chubby looking, so his athleticism is sneaky. If he really commits mentally to his role, he could be damn good.

[crc21209]

Can't wait to be at Thursday's game. Going to rock the At&t Center!

The crowd HAS to be pumped for that game. Better be loud on Thursday.

[DPG21920]

To be fair all the fucking carrots in Cleveland are gone with all these bunnies we're missing.

:lol Surprised no one has used that before

[ElNono]

danny!

[crc21209]

V3rde!

[freetiago]

where's freetiago (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=29775) to :downspin: this shit? :lol


entire starters are shitting the bed outside of Leonard

Hero 1/4
Green 1/4
Duncan 1/3 and terrible first half as usual
Splitter 0/4

Splitter was the one who assisted Duncan and Leonard on about half of their first quarter points tbh...

[Raven]

Raven approves tbh

[ace3g]

scary fall there

[DPG21920]

First quarters lately have been rough for Spurs (better than the traditional 3rd quarter lulls we are used to) between being fresh and the TO's.

[ElNono]

Hero 1/4

[RD2191]

Tony and Mills in the game at the same time: love it.
:lmaoYou'll really love it when OKC and Miami are pushing their shit in.

[ElNono]

Manuuuuuuuuuuu

[ace3g]

manu tres

[crc21209]

Manuuuuu!

[Ditty]

The crowd HAS to be pumped for that game. Better be loud on Thursday.

How loud the Ray Allen boos will be crazy I bet..

I bet he will get a few death threats :lol

[Raven]

the team is very confident these days, i love every bit of it.

[RD2191]

come on dg

[ElNono]

great D Gino

[Raven]

How loud the Ray Allen boos will be crazy I bet..

I bet he will get a few death threats :lol

that would be really lame tbh

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Were playing good Defense.
Nice to see tbh

[ElNono]

Manu still wearing the military shoes? :lol

[DPG21920]

Manu's defense looks so much better to me this year. He really has had some tremendous defensive moments based on the eyeball test.

[Ditty]

Always remember making a clutch free throw with one second left to win the 2007 championship for the Spurs :cry

[ElNono]

damn Manu, need that 3

[Raven]

+20 in the quarter :lol

[ElNono]

great 2nd quarter, tbh

[crc21209]

Good D to end the quarter! :tu

[Cry Havoc]

24 point shift. Huge quarter. Fantastic effort.

[RD2191]

Good 2nd quarter considering Mills almost shot us out of the game early.

[Mugen]

great quarter.

[Cry Havoc]

Patty and Leonard get an A for that half from what I saw.

Duncan and Manu get Bs. Danny B- or C+.

Everyone else is in the D range.

[Spurs Brazil]

Very good 2nd quarter. Mills and Kawhi did a great job. TD was huge on D

[freetiago]

Manus offball D has been horrible this year like the last 2-3 years but his onball D is still great
which is why I dont understand the people who say the Spurs need a backup SF when Manu is more suited to play SF more
Small Forwards dont run around screens as much and tend to be more back to the basket players

Manu can hold his own even vs the Durant/Lebrons of the league
what SA really needed was anyone who isnt Errors

[Mugen]

Even more impressive when you realize TP stayed in SA for this one tbh.

[downunder]

Kangaroo power tonight

[downunder]

Give Baynes his turn

[jkid12456]

need to give baynes some PT, imagine baynes, delly and patty, kyrie on the floor at the same time, aussie magic!!

[FireMicoHalili]

Okay guys but remember, regular season success doesn't count, only the playoffs does

[RD2191]

Australian pg's suck, tbh. Good thing Exum is coming to redeem that country.

[SupremeGuy]

Just when I think Pop finally learned his lesson about Errors, he gets plenty of pt tonight. Why does he hate Baynes? :cry

[poeticism707]

need to give baynes some PT, imagine baynes, delly and patty, kyrie on the floor at the same time, aussie magic!!
Exactly. I don't know how any sane coach could play Errors over Baynes.

[downunder]

I finally agree EXUM is coming - line up NBA teams

[weeks]

DUNCAN

[RD2191]

come on man

[RD2191]

wtf parker

[TheGoldStandard]

As long as Ayres stays off the court we got this

[Libri]

Spurs leading despite Errors playing? That's impressive, tbh. :)

[RD2191]

:lol

[TheGoldStandard]

Parker can't buy a bucket but he's passing the ball, so at least he's not forcing it

[Mikeanaro]

Take hero off court he is regressing the team

[RD2191]

damn timmy

[ElNono]

lmao potato head

[RD2191]

:lmao

[TheGoldStandard]

Tim Duncan is god!

[r0drig0lac]

TP is just struggling mightily.

[ElNono]

TP didn't make a basket this quarter yet, right?

[RD2191]

all ball:hat

[Mikeanaro]

Lol mike brown playing WWE

[ElNono]

there it is... good job TP

[RD2191]

TP ballin

[TheGoldStandard]

There we go Parker, And 1.

[ElNono]

gotta go for the kill here

[Ditty]

Enrique!

[jkid12456]

wnat patty to get bak in! :D im greedy

[TE]

Put this shit away already. No need to play around with a lead

[TheGoldStandard]

This game has been pretty ugly, doesn't seem like the Spurs give 2 shits about this game.

[ElNono]

would like Manu to score 12 more, but if we blow them out in the 3rd, not gonna complain

[ElNono]

Kawhi with two great blocks

[TheGoldStandard]

Love how Kawhi is playing.

[ElNono]

and the 3

[RD2191]

Kawhiiii

[TheGoldStandard]

Open this mother up and put a cap on it.

[Ditty]

Leonard getting into rhythm!

[brucebowensghost]

not taking anything away from Kawhi, but Deng looks like a shadow of his former shadow self

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop: Ayres, we have good news and bad news

Ayres: What's the good news?

Pop: Well, we're going to continue to play you despite how shitty you are.

Ayres: So what's the bad news?

Pop: Your father called and still doesn't love you

[Mikeanaro]

Regressor

[TheGoldStandard]

not taking anything away from Kawhi, but Deng looks like a shadow of his former shadow self

It's the Cleveland Syndrome..

[freetiago]

Deng wants to be anywhere but Cleveland
hell be a decent player if hes motivated but he was never that great to begin with
hes basically Rudy Gay who plays consistent defense which is why he doesnt have the Rudy Gay reputation

[ace3g]

Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN

[ElNono]

solid TO to bring Errors back in

[crc21209]

I hope LeBron drops 80 on Houston tonight...:lol

[timtonymanu]

Parker looks bad just from reading the play by play. Bad game or does he look hurt again?

[ElNono]

Parker looks bad just from reading the play by play. Bad game or does he look hurt again?

his shooting is way off... thus everything else is hesitant

[Mikeanaro]

Bad game and hurting the team

[poeticism707]

:lmao Cavs announcers bitching about the refs.

Celtics have the blindest, homerish announcers I have ever heard in life, but the Cavs announcers are bad.

[crc21209]

Somebody shouldve captioned "I wish Errors was in this Darth Vader suit instead of in a Spurs uni"

[TheGoldStandard]

Manu gets beat on back door plays on the reg tbh...

Jason Collins too

[TheGoldStandard]

Spencer Hawes pretty much forced Pop to bench Tiago

[Cry Havoc]

Pop: Ayres, we have good news and bad news

Ayres: What's the good news?

Pop: Well, we're going to continue to play you despite how shitty you are.

That's cold. :lol

[timtonymanu]

Thanks

[ElNono]

Manuuuuuuuuu

[r0drig0lac]

it's over

[ElNono]

been a while since Manu hit three 3 pointers

[ElNono]

in TP's defense, that was a BS call

[RD2191]

fuck off cavs

[crc21209]

Looked like an Irving flop...

[ElNono]

great block TD

There's that shitty point guard again.

[ElNono]

good D by Tiago

Diaw!!!!!

I feel for cavs fans

[RD2191]

diaw and mills going off

[TheGoldStandard]

French Roll doing work

[Ditty]

Elite pick n roll defense from Splitter something that no free agents had this offseason

[RD2191]

yeh patty mills actually putting his bum crack on robdiazs mouth and shitting in it literally
rofl, cojo>mills

[Diego20]

Diaw 2.0 with 100% FG and 100%FT

[RD2191]

Good thing I never doubted Patty. Always had faith.

[crc21209]

rofl, cojo>mills

:lmao

[TE]

If only this version of Diaw shows up against teams like OKC and Miami, then NBA = fucked

[spurraider21]

:lol cleveland's hopes after the first quarter

[poeticism707]

:wowI take it back, I take it all back:cry

It's inevitable: Patty is a BEAST, easily 5 times the player Neal ever was.

[RD2191]

If only this version of Diaw shows up against teams like OKC and Miami, then NBA = fucked
Its a toss up with Diaw, its like he chooses when he wants to show up.

[crc21209]

If only this version of Diaw shows up against teams like OKC and Miami, then NBA = fucked

He's capable...

[TheGoldStandard]

Maybe Patty and Baynes will meet up this offseason and get Baynes into primo shape and work on his game.

[ElNono]

v3

[RD2191]

Green

[Boomersgold]

Good thing I never doubted Patty. Always had faith.
I don't think you've ever doubted that Mills was a capable scorer.

[ElNono]

v3 again!

[crc21209]

Green! I love that corner play! :tu

[RD2191]

Well this escalated quickly.

[Mal]

Oh shit. Two great passes. Ball went were guy should be. He wasnt there before the pass. Sick

[TE]

There's that boss Hammer play the Spurs have mastered.

[Cry Havoc]

GREEN AND ONE!!!!

Green on pace for 144 points this quarter. :hat

[Ditty]

What a pass by Diaw

[DapDaGenius]

OH DAMN DANNY!

[RD2191]

GREEN AND ONE!!!!

Green on pace for 144 points this quarter. :hat
:lol

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Our team can really fucking shoot tbh

[Mal]

Wow, number 1 pick actually can do something

[TheGoldStandard]

Better carry over to Thursday, lets fuck up the Heat

[ElNono]

sucks daye is inactive

[crc21209]

Should've been goaltending...

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Its a toss up with Diaw, its like he chooses when he wants to show up.

If he applied himself all the time he'd be a helluva player on a consistent basis.

[crc21209]

sucks daye is inactive

No shit. The one game where the Spurs finally blow someone out, and he's inactive. :td

[Mal]

Holy shit

[ElNono]

danny going strong...

[spurraider21]

sucks daye is inactive
:lol thats what i thought when i noticed bonner on the floor

[crc21209]

Green can finish at the rim now! :lol

[ElNono]

defense has been great this game... probably gonna go unnoticed

[Ditty]

Green learning how to finish at the basket!

[Mal]

34 FG on 31 assist

[poeticism707]

Good thing I never doubted Patty. Always had faith.
:rollin:rollin:rollin

[ElNono]

That Bennet is as good as their coach, tbh

[TE]

defense has been great this game... probably gonna go unnoticed
The pick and roll defense has been superb

[Cry Havoc]

Green wow. Stepping up. Need to see this all the time.

[crc21209]

Errors should be inactive for the rest of the year...

[TE]

Money isn't Green, Green is Money

[Tim_duncan21]

Boris 2.0

[Ditty]

sucks daye is inactive

Wish Bonner could play the Juwan Howard role and play as the ring chaser/annoying cheerleader in a suit

[RD2191]

That was nice, Kawhi.

[DPG21920]

Well, let's hope TP is just coasting still because it's a little alarming that in only his second game back after getting afforded so much rest, he doesn't look very good. He played well in his first game back, but if just the second game back with time off in between causes him to look gimpy it's kind of a big deal.

[weeks]

hooly shit leonard.

[ElNono]

Kiwi aggressive :tu

[spurraider21]

kawhi stuffing the stat-sheet

[Tim_duncan21]

lead is too huge for duncan to go back and get his double double

[ElNono]

Well, let's hope TP is just coasting still because it's a little alarming that in only his second game back after getting afforded so much rest, he doesn't look very good. He played well in his first game off, but if just the second game back with time off in between causes him to look gimpy it's kind of a big deal.

gotta give him a couple more games to see what's up... maybe just a bit slow after the long trip

[crc21209]

Wish Bonner could play the Juwan Howard role and play as the ring chaser/annoying cheerleader in a suit

You mean Errors...:lol

[TE]

Damn, we're stat-padding

[Johnny RIngo]

Better carry over to Thursday, lets fuck up the Heat

Parker will choke and shoot something like 3-13 against Miami. Manu will have about 5 TOs. Duncan, Diaw, and Kawhi will have ok games but it won't be enough to win. Oh yeah, Splitter will probably airball a hook shot with Norris Cole defending him.

[DPG21920]

Well, when a team gives you 3 weeks off when you supposedly don't have any major injury, you should look pretty damn spry the first games back. It's not that the shot is not falling (that's part of it), but he looks like he's stuck in 3rd gear and his lift looks off too.

[SupremeGuy]

Ok now I just want to see some Baynes to leave me satisfied.

[TheGoldStandard]

Well, let's hope TP is just coasting still because it's a little alarming that in only his second game back after getting afforded so much rest, he doesn't look very good. He played well in his first game back, but if just the second game back with time off in between causes him to look gimpy it's kind of a big deal.

Just didn't find his rhythm tonight but there was a lot of ball movement, he didn't force the issue.. I think he'll be okay. Probably saving up for Miami on Thursday. If he looks shitty against Miami then there is concern, you get up for that game.

[ElNono]

Parker will choke and shoot something like 3-13 against Miami. Manu will have about 5 TOs. Duncan, Diaw, and Kawhi will have ok games but it won't be enough to win. Oh yeah, Splitter will probably airball a hook shot with Norris Cole defending him.

You forgot the 20 mins Errors gonna get.

[jkid12456]

matt bonner smh

[poeticism707]

He played well in his first game back, but if just the second game back with time off in between causes him to look gimpy it's kind of a big deal.


Tony is done as game in, game out, 20 point scorer. Too old for his play style, too much mileage. As much as the Spurs love him, would have been smart to deal TP at the deadline. Too late now.

[crc21209]

Hawes getting MVP chants :lol

[jkid12456]

bonner smh

[ElNono]

verde-kawhi killing it

[crc21209]

Alright Pop get Kawhi, Green, and Splitter out already.

[DPG21920]

verde-kawhi killing it

Yup. We should have known they would regain form. They played a great year (big sample size) & only struggled a little to start the year (small sample size). They are again shooting well and defending well and it's awesome.

[Mal]

Who are those 7 GM`s with Spurs history ? I`ve got. Presti, Lindsey(Utah), Ferry, Kerr. Pritchard is gone. Who are others ?

[RD2191]

tf cojo

[jkid12456]

baynnesss

[crc21209]

CoJo hero ballin. He' 0-1 what a horrible fucking percentage he sucks! :rolleyes

[spurraider21]

:lmao thats the Danny Green we know and love

[Johnny RIngo]

Tony is done as game in, game out, 20 point scorer.

I don't think he's done yet but Tony should probably reevaluate his statement about wanting to have a 20 year NBA career. Don't see it happening.

[Darius Bieber]

I'm guessing Daye isn't active

[Johnny RIngo]

Who are those 7 GM`s with Spurs history ? I`ve got. Presti, Lindsey(Utah), Ferry, Kerr. Pritchard is gone. Who are others ?

And none of 'em will ever throw the Spurs a bone while Lakers and their farm teams(Memphis) continue to help LA

[crc21209]

Green's on fire!

[Mal]

And none of 'em will ever throw the Spurs a bone while Lakers and their farm teams(Memphis) continue to help LA

I dont care about trade or anything. Just wondering.

Dell Demps also. That gives me 5.

[freetiago]

Leonard could have pushed a 5X5 game if he had 2 more blocks
he had at least 6 steals he wasnt credited for because he poked the ball into someone elses hands

[crc21209]

:lol Cleveland. #1 pick only producing in garbage minutes...

[SupremeGuy]

Please tell me he's not taking Baynes out for Errors...

[SupremeGuy]

THE BIG BANGER!

[Mal]

Nice lineup Pop :)

[crc21209]

Beli with the circus shot!

[Splits]

37 assists on 40 makes. Incredible.

[Boomersgold]

Green scored a lot of his points at the rim? Is this real life?

[RD2191]

Bonner is garbage

[DapDaGenius]

I can't wait until Bonner is gone.

[Ditty]

Ayers>>>>Bonner

[RD2191]

[crc21209]

:lol Scrub Bennett...

[Ditty]

Ayers is making Bennett look like the number one pick :lol

[Mal]

That FG to Ast ratio is so sick

[SupremeGuy]

That's bullshit. Baynes blocked that shit.

[Johnny RIngo]

Matty looks done. Don't know what the FO was doing keeping him another year. Can't run, can't shoot.

[loveforthegame]

I can't wait until Bonner is gone.

[Mikeanaro]

This game was incredible and weird, from just 13 fucking points on the first quarter to finish with 122, horrible game to make some bets and awesome because we are winning and playing so good.

[ElNono]

:flag: We win!

[DPG21920]

Only the Spurs can have two of their best players put up a combined 14 points on sub 40% shooting and not only win by 20+ but put up over 120 points .

[Splits]

That FG to Ast ratio is so sick

Was 39/42 until CoJo went Enrique on the last shot

[poeticism707]

Bonner is garbage
You certainly won't be eating crow about that one.

[ElNono]

Only the Spurs can have two of their best players put up a combined 14 points on sub 40% shooting and not only win by 20+ but put up over 120 points .

Yep, Spurs basketball, a thing of beauty. It transcends sport and approaches the realm of art.

[RD2191]

You certainly won't be eating crow about that one.
Might be the only player the reverse jinx hasn't worked on.:lol

[crc21209]

Warriors with the choke at Indy

Klay Thompson hit a jumper to win it.

[DapDaGenius]

I just noticed...Patty had 5 assists...nice!!

[RD2191]

Klay Thompson hit a jumper to win it.
Damn, that's awesome. Thought they were gonna lose it.

[FireMicoHalili]

We win against a scrubby team!!! Woohoo cheerio mates

[Mugen]

Spurs win!

[poeticism707]

Might be the only player the reverse jinx hasn't worked on.:lol

Just imagine if you were 6'10, and you could be this likeable scrub, and bring home 2-3m a year after taxes, just to scrimmage a few times.

Bonner laughs all the way to the Rodeo. Can't blame him. You can blame the Spurs for not trading his expiring, though.

[Mugen]

:lol 120 pts and Jeff couldn't even put up a shot attempt tbh

[DapDaGenius]

did you pay the auto-update fee?

Yeah, I paid my $400 to TiMVP and he said it should update "when hell freezes over". Not sure what he meant by that, but my site still hasn't updated.

[RD2191]

Just imagine if you were 6'10, and you could be this likeable scrub, and bring home 2-3m a year after taxes, just to scrimmage a few times.

Bonner laughs all the way to the Rodeo. Can't blame him. You can blame the Spurs for not trading his expiring, though.
I would never blame Bonner, I blame the front office for keeping him around.:lol
