kawowwwwwwww

[MeloHype]

Kawhi!

[ace3g]

Look what is coming back next year

[TE]

Fuck, miss

[DPG21920]

When teams pressure TP like this, especially the Heat, Pop needs to put him in the SG spot, run him off screens etc.

Well Gino is the answer here. He was awful against the Heat, but can be a huge help if he can handle the ball under pressure, drive and hit his shot.

[RD2191]

Bosh is fucking money.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard has been hustling on D. Rushing a bit on offense is all.

[Darius Bieber]

Those bandwagon Heat fans who cheer at the AT&T Center fucking piss me off.

[TE]

That fucking pussy Chalmers flopping per the usual

[crc21209]

It feels like the Heat have about 10 fouls this qtr. FINALLY we're in the Bonus...

[DPG21920]

Freebies have been so huge for the Spurs and it's been awesome. Have to make them and now TP off there..

[james evans]

Maybe because the last three times Parker has given him the ball Leonard has either dribbled it into a bad shot or missed his own shot. He is 30% for the game and never takes the shot given to him, he tries to go one on one with players that are better than he is. Maybe that is why.

and this is a good reason to not pass a guy the ball cutting to the basket in the paint?

[RD2191]

Those bandwagon Heat fans who cheer at the AT&T Center fucking piss me off.
Probably old "Laker" fans, tbh.

[ElNono]

little run here against their bench

[ElNono]

fuck

[crc21209]

Manu never learns..

[loveforthegame]

Leaving Allen wide open. :lol

[timtonymanu]

Ray Allen can die in a fire

[ElNono]

damn TP... and another BS call

[Cry Havoc]

Fucking Beasley flopping like a pussy.

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Look what is coming back next year

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BiF61vgIcAARzVl.jpg:large

Was talking about these earlier in the NBA forum, I love these tbh
badass.

[TE]

There's the patented Allen three. And there's Kawhi getting another foul called on him.

[DPG21920]

Tony completely thrown off his game. Wow. He's like 1-7 since the hot start and missed several layups.

[ElNono]

he got screened...

[TE]

Refball ftw

[Cry Havoc]

Here come the bitch whistles.

[Captivus]

I NEED REPLAYS ON THOSE FOULS!

[crc21209]

Another foul, come on!

[ElNono]

here comes the refs

[EVAY]

Parker is about to foul Chalmers out.

[DapDaGenius]

Get it together

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

wow

[Beaverfuzz]

Wack him across the face the next time Kawhi.

[Libri]

:bang

[Cry Havoc]

Wack him across the face the next time Kawhi.

And get tossed. No thank you.

[crc21209]

Fuck...

[timtonymanu]

Spurs are screwed if they don't get this back up to 10 at least.

[DPG21920]

This is why your best player being so easily removed from the game offensively hurts. Spurs playing well, but if your best offensive player can't score, it's really tough to sustain offense and you lose leads.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan gets the ball for the first time since early in the quarter, now he's probably out of rhythm:lol..

[RD2191]

Not enough talent, the gimmick offense works every now and then but not when shit gets real.

[TE]

Bad times

[Raven]

so many bs calls..

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

come on spurs get ur head out ur ass

[DapDaGenius]

Wait...what?

[MVPCues]

Falling apart now. :(

[Beaverfuzz]

shit call, fuck you Scott Foster.

[crc21209]

Too many fucking 3's! Take it to the basket!

[loveforthegame]

Clank. Clank. Clank.

[MeloHype]

:lol refs

[Cry Havoc]

Fuck these fucking refs. FUCK that.

[TE]

There's the officials. What a great move by the refs. Must see tv

[ElNono]

:lol refs

[Juggity]

Over the back? Fucking kidding

[RD2191]

Spurs losing every quarter since the 1st.

[james evans]

fukin cheating ass refs

[SpurPadre]

Please don't piss this game away

[Crookshanks]

This game is getting ugly. And it seems the whistles are going against the Spurs now. The Spurs really need to dig in and pull out this win.

[Raven]

finally splitter checks in

[DapDaGenius]

Watch this game have a Game 6-esque finish to it.

[TE]

I guess traveling doesn't apply to anybody with a Heat jersey

[Captivus]

Again, no replay.

[crc21209]

LeBron hacked Splitter!

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

we need manu to take over

[james evans]

they just not gonna give lebron a 5th foul

[ElNono]

smh Manu

[loveforthegame]

Manu. :lol

[timtonymanu]

Now the Spurs just out of rhythm. Terrible.

[SpurPadre]

Missing gimmes

[Crookshanks]

Spurs have gone ice cold.

[RD2191]

:wakeup

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

wow were playing fucking horrible

[ElNono]

almost Turnobili

[Spurs Brazil]

Mills 333333333333333333333333

[DPG21920]

I know the Heat are great defensively, but I still wonder if TP is just out of gas. He looked slower in just his second game back despite a ton of rest and fell off after just one quarter here. Maybe his legs aren't back? Maybe still injured? Or perhaps it's just coincidence that these things are happening and MIA is just a great defensive team.

[Beaverfuzz]

PATTY MILLS RING IT UP BITCHES!

[Raven]

woah though 3

[ace3g]

Patty up!!!

[timtonymanu]

Mills <3

[MeloHype]

Finally

[ElNono]

Patty heating up!

[313]

Pattttyy

[loveforthegame]

Mills finally. :tu

[Crookshanks]

Anybody wanna bet Queen James won't even get a 5th foul in this game, much less foul out.

[Cry Havoc]

PATTY FUCKING MILLS

[DapDaGenius]

General Mills with the 3!!

[crc21209]

Finally!

[james evans]

we need manu to take over
I hope u have a Delorean to put him into

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

patty with the momentum stopper

[Beaverfuzz]

Let Ray Allen dribble the ball and beat you.

[spurs10]

Dear god shut the fuck up. Seriously. Get the fuck out of here. You don't know shit about basketball. :toast

[Raven]

dammit

[Beaverfuzz]

arm is part of the ball Foster you fucking chump?

[crc21209]

Of course no foul!

[TheGoldStandard]

Wow, Splitter fouled

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

pussy ass splitter

[Captivus]

no foul on Tiago!!??
I WANT REPLAY!!!

[ElNono]

ofcourse they're not going to call a foul

[RD2191]

Wtf SPlitter

[SupremeGuy]

refs keeping the heat in the game, tbh

[boutons_deux]

heat defense, spurs shooting cold

[timtonymanu]

Miami turns up the D and you get this. Spurs have to regroup in the 4th.

[TE]

Mills is fucking fast tbh

[Cry Havoc]

Spurs winning a 5 on 8 war for the last 4 minutes of that quarter. Pretty awesome.

[SpurPadre]

Here's a life lesson: don't give slow ass Splitter a chance at a buzzer beater

[RD2191]

:toast
Faggot

[DatBoyGood]

Really awful quarter. Parker needs to go ham in the 4th

[james evans]

damn. i've never seen a starting centr in the league get blocked as much as splitter does by non centers. i've never seen it

[Libri]

Pop interview is now a segment. :lmao

[ace3g]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BiDtsCLCYAATArZ.jpg:large

[Beaverfuzz]

And get tossed. No thank you.

Inadvertent, put in Pendergraph's corpse to complete the deed.

[Boomersgold]

Typical Tiago attempting to softly lay it up. He should've dunked that shit.

[boutons_deux]

spurs lost 2nd and 3rd qtrs

[TheGoldStandard]

Mills should have just taken that shot.. that is where being selfish is better

[Cry Havoc]

Let's just get some cliff jumper posts out of the way in the 4th:


Miami shoots poorly in the first half: "Oh my god the Heat can't hit anything and they're still in the game!"

Spurs shoot poorly in the 2nd half: "Oh my god Miami's defense is so good!" (Spurs still leading obviously)


Yeah. That's how you know you're a stupid fan. When you can't even cheer for your own fucking team and attribute good halves to luck and bad halves to the other team being better.

[loveforthegame]

Heat getting physical and Spurs not responding.

[TE]

Lol I guess every time Miami swipes at the ball they make contact with nothing but the hair situated on a human's arm. Refs know their shit, tbh.

[HarlemHeat37]

Worried about the Spurs' poor decision making and shot selection, tbh..

Tim needs more touches in the 4th, I don't think the Spurs even ran a post play in the quarter IIRC..they aren't going to win this game from the perimeter..

[jkid12456]

patty cold as fk

[MVPCues]

To be eight up after so many missed shots and layups is fortunate. Still our game to win.

[Prime Time]

Quarter was really not as bad as it seems, Seeing how Spurs were techincally only out-scored by 3. But still, The lack of ball-movement/defense is worrisome.

[Horse]

Splitter was fouled by lebron should've been his 5th. He was also fouled that last play. Ref rape in progress.

[Cry Havoc]

Worried about the Spurs' poor decision making and shot selection, tbh..

Tim needs more touches in the 4th, I don't think the Spurs even ran a post play in the quarter IIRC..they aren't going to win this game from the perimeter..

Every time they put someone undersized on Diaw we should let him post up. EVERY TIME.

[hommeaetage]

The officiating makes it really hard for me to watch the game nowadays. I understand there's bad calls here and there, but when the league is blatantly favoring one team to another is just too hard to swallow

[ElNono]

need to go take it if we want it... playing scared right now

[poeticism707]

One thing Spurs vet's notice, is how the Spurs NEVER EVER get possession calls. Ever. Also, bs over the backs Duncan gets often, just to keep the blow outs at bay.

Ref Fixing 101

[crc21209]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BiDtsCLCYAATArZ.jpg:large


patty cold as fk

Huh? He drilled a 3 to push the lead back to 8.

[RD2191]

Let's just get some cliff jumper posts out of the way in the 4th:


Miami shoots poorly in the first half: "Oh my god the Heat can't hit anything and they're still in the game!"

Spurs shoot poorly in the 2nd half: "Oh my god Miami's defense is so good!"


Yeah. That's how you know you're a stupid fan. When you can't even cheer for your own fucking team.
Difference between cheering and being a delusional fan. The Spurs have zero iso talent for when shit gets tough. Crazy passing and assist worked in the 1st but that shit doesn't work when the Heat pick it up on D. No one is cheering for the Heat.

[maverick1948]

Can anyone save us from Reggie Miller? I wish they would send anyone but him to do Spurs games. Ignore comments.

[Brazil]

This is why your best player being so easily removed from the game offensively hurts. Spurs playing well, but if your best offensive player can't score, it's really tough to sustain offense and you lose leads.

Im not particularly worried he is penetrating well, just his lay ups that are not falling. He is fine

[Raven]

i love diaw, i so fucking love him

[Beaverfuzz]

Good move Diaw.

[loveforthegame]

Splitter getting manhandled in the post.

[crc21209]

There you go Diaw!

[TheGoldStandard]

Dont ever try to post Tiago, never

[james evans]

welp this is one of those lineups. we'll see how long he leaves them in

[Cry Havoc]

Diaw has been totally fantastic this game. Great to see.

[Captivus]

Why did I thought Tiago was going to windmill that ball!! haha Im an idiot.

[timtonymanu]

Can anyone save us from Reggie Miller? I wish they would send anyone but him to do Spurs games. Ignore comments.

I think you're referring to Greg Anthony, who's also a horrible analyst.

[DPG21920]

Of course things can work, but Spurs playing with less energy and not making the right decisions (i.e. Ignoring Boris/Tim)

[RD2191]

Come on PAtty

[Brazil]

Beasley is an awesome addition for the heat tbh

[Beaverfuzz]

See what happens when you follow your shot? BANG!

[Raven]

patty :cry

[TE]

MILLLLLLLLS

[Spurs Brazil]

Mills 3333333333333333333333333333333333333

WOW

[ace3g]

Patty up !!!!

[timtonymanu]

Det backup PG

[TheGoldStandard]

Fuck off Miami.. MIlls is heating up

[Cry Havoc]

HOLY SHIT PATTY

[ElNono]

Patty Heating up!!1

[DapDaGenius]

What that Millionares just now?

[loveforthegame]

Mills.

[MeloHype]

Mills333

[Boomersgold]

Can anyone save us from Reggie Miller? I wish they would send anyone but him to do Spurs games. Ignore comments.
He's not doing the game tonight though.

[Darius Bieber]

MILLS FROM NEW BRAUNFELS

[313]

Let's gooo

[TE]

Hey they got called for travelling

[crc21209]

That 3 by Patty was DEEEEP!

[ElNono]

come on, get another basket

[capek]

Big shot by Patty! :tu

[RD2191]

MILLS FROM NEW BRAUNFELS
:lol

[Brazil]

The fuck Manu ? :lol

[RD2191]

dammit manu

[TheGoldStandard]

Uh oh.. Miami Manu sighting

[DPG21920]

Im not particularly worried he is penetrating well, just his lay ups that are not falling. He is fine

Disagree, but we will see..It happened in the finals (although he still played pretty damn well) and it's happening again. It's the same strategy with some very similar results and no adjustments from TP (1-7 since his start..)

[ElNono]

That's a foul on Manu

[Johnny RIngo]

Typical Tiago attempting to softly lay it up. He should've dunked that shit.

You're going to be really disappointed if you're expecting a dunk from Tiago. Only big man in the NBA that finishes like a PG.

[TheRemix]

almost turnobili

[TE]

Damn Belli you gotta hit that bro

[ElNono]

come on Splitts, you're alone!

[MVPCues]

Splitter needed to attach the basket then instead of passing for the 3.

[timtonymanu]

Damn Marco. That would have been huge.

[ElNono]

more whistle

[Raven]

patty going neal

[Beaverfuzz]

MARCO!

[DapDaGenius]

Now Mills is just Gary Neal style chucking. lol

[ace3g]

The Anti Neal

[loveforthegame]

That dude!!

[TheGoldStandard]

Dat Dude... shitting on Miami

[ElNono]

Bellisimo

[Cry Havoc]

MARCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[MeloHype]

That dude

[SpurPadre]

stop with the gary neal shots, Patty.

[313]

patty going neal

Heat check tbh

[RD2191]

terrible shot Mills

[TE]

dat dude

[MVPCues]

That was nice!

[DPG21920]

Offense, in the 2nd Q on, has looked better with the bench.

[capek]

That man! :lol so fucking sweet!

[TheGoldStandard]

Beli has a strong hate for Miami

[Beaverfuzz]

BTW Marco, that was dangerous to put that up with your left hand...it went in regardless but.....................

[Mal]

That dude Beli is good

[TE]

Mills heat-checked a shot. I'll take that anytime over whatever else the Spurs have after TP goes to the bench

[TheGoldStandard]

I just want to say that thank god Ayres isn't here to fuck things up

[HarlemHeat37]

Patty's stupid shot attempts are beautiful, tbh..it's better than players that are afraid to make a play, like Joseph, for example..he gives effort on defense, too, unlike Neal, so it's excusable..

It's annoying at times, but the defense always must account for him, which helps everybody else on the floor with him..

[Boomersgold]

Bellineli!

[crc21209]

Disagree, but we will see..It happened in the finals (although he still played pretty damn well) and it's happening again. It's the same strategy with some very similar results and no adjustments from TP (1-7 since his start..)

The good thing now is that the Spurs have Patty playing well and bringing a spark off the bench when TP is getting a rest as opposed to CoJo not giving the Spurs a thing in the Finals..

[spurs10]

That...dude!

[RD2191]

Patty's stupid shot attempts are beautiful, tbh..

It's annoying, but the defense always must account for him, which helps everybody else on the floor with him..
:lmao

[SpurPadre]

Beli has a strong hate for Miami

Didn't he do that "look at my huge balls" thing against them?

[TheGoldStandard]

Ayres Dad after the game: God damn Beli, that was amazing, you're like the son I never had.

Ayres: WTF what about me dad?

Ayres Dad: Malik Rose???

[Uriel]

I L

[Cry Havoc]

Patty's stupid shot attempts are beautiful, tbh..

It's annoying, but the defense always must account for him, which helps everybody else on the floor with him..

I just love seeing a PG who's not afraid to take the shot AND will let the offense develop in front of him. He forces stuff but he also makes really damn good plays.

[Brazil]

Disagree, but we will see..It happened in the finals (although he still played pretty damn well) and it's happening again. It's the same strategy with some very similar results and no adjustments from TP (1-7 since his start..)

Thats a bit different tho he is not settling for jumpers here... He is going inside, def is good but he missed at least 3 he usually makes

[Fireball]

the heat check by Mills was all right ... he earned that ... I mean he has 8 rebounds

[tholdren]

Fuck you assholes, Mills is about 50 times better than neal and joseph combined.

Splitter Sucks Dick

[SpurPadre]

Patty's stupid shot attempts are beautiful, tbh..it's better than players that are afraid to make a play, like Joseph, for example..he gives effort on defense, too, unlike Neal, so it's excusable..

It's annoying at times, but the defense always must account for him, which helps everybody else on the floor with him..

I don't like it but it doesn't annoy me as much when Neal did it with us.

[TE]

When a guard plays against Miami, they can't be hesitant. Patty is perfect for that scenario in that regard.

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao

"Patty can't score on good teams."

:lmao

[TheRemix]

whats with the game clock? its bothering the shit out of me

[DPG21920]

Thats a bit different tho he is not settling for jumpers here... He is going inside, def is good but he missed at least 3 he usually makes

Well, it's not his usual layups. Much more difficult because of the defense and a lot more forced which comes with more contact. When you factor in last year's finals + his pretty bad season so far (tired/injured) + this 1-7 with the same defense to me that equals a legit concern.

Still winning and that's great - I am just thinking forward about this possible issue if Spurs meet Heat.

[RD2191]

Come on Kawhi

[spurs10]

I just want to say that thank god Ayres isn't here to fuck things up I wonder if he willingly allowed someone on the team to bust his hand with a hammer..??

[ace3g]

damn wanted that to go in, Diaw with a skyhook pass, lol

[timtonymanu]

Didn't he do that "look at my huge balls" thing against them?

Game 7 against Brooklyn where he went off.

[RD2191]

Come on refs

[Beaverfuzz]

Good move Boris, make the FT's

[ace3g]

Diaw 2.0

[Captivus]

[TheGoldStandard]

almost an and 1

[ElNono]

almost and1

[loveforthegame]

Kawhi can't buy a call.

[DapDaGenius]

Boris getting mad. He's getting a fire in his belly.

[crc21209]

Damn I love Diaw's aggressiveness!

[TE]

Diaw forcing the issue. Please do that in the playoffs

[DPG21920]

Diaw has been so damn good. He is such a huge piece in beating any team, but especially small ball PF teams.

[DatBoyGood]

Birdman really needs to shave that bruh...lol

[TE]

http://www.holaciudad.com/adjuntos/153/imagenes/002/299/0002299238.jpg
lol

[DatBoyGood]

Diaw player of the game!!

[MVPCues]

T up all of those mfers.

[TheGoldStandard]

FUCK YES.. Meltdown !!!!

[Raven]

that should be game tbh

[RD2191]

wtf just happened

[timtonymanu]

Honestly the calls have been bad on both ends.

[Fireball]

lucky ... that was Diaw with the illegall off-arm

[Beaverfuzz]

lol, Foster's vaj is bleeding with all of those quick tech's. haha

[loveforthegame]

Leonard hustling. Effort is there.

[ElNono]

here we go

[MeloHype]

:lol

[SpurPadre]

Game 7 against Brooklyn where he went off.

Pop would bench him if he even thought about doing that as a Spur

[DapDaGenius]

Double technicals?

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao Hey robdiaz there's that Miami team that isn't trying. :lmao Got anymore takes?

[TheGoldStandard]

Free points.. free points

[Captivus]

WTF...did refs exaggerate?

[DatBoyGood]

Good, Miami please get more frustrated

[TE]

:lol Chalmers
:lol thinking you're some big-shit when stars around you carry your scrub ass

[DPG21920]

That wasn't a foul on MIA IMO

[RD2191]

damn

[crc21209]

Spurs ball! Yes sir!
