[MeloHype]

Easy win

[loveforthegame]

Stay healthy and get the win. :flag:

[Hoops Czar]

Players should be resting tonight and playing tomorrow. But what the hell does seeding matter.

[Mikeanaro]

Lol that hair, I hope this game will be an easy victory.

[Calispursfan11]

I will be watching the slaughter first hand.

[freetiago]

Spurs needed comebacks both times they played Sac
Leonard will have to do a better job on Gay like he did when he was with Memphis
last time they both got torched

also have to hope Parker at least tries to D up Thomas
cant let him average his 30 pts a game vs the Spurs

[heyheymymy]

I will be watching the slaughter first hand.

have fun

[DatBoyGood]

Damn Lowry!

[DesignatedT]

Double OT

[DatBoyGood]

Damn with the Westbrook injury and depending on how long he is out, wonder how Durant will react and goes off like he did in January. Only thing is that he is going to be exhausted by the time the playoffs come.

[crc21209]

Great move by Kawhi :tu

[Floyd Pacquiao]

kawhi looking good so far

[r0drig0lac]

spurs looking amazing

[Raven]

[crc21209]

Durant stat padding per par..

[DatBoyGood]

[ElNono]

oh well

[jkid12456]

wow. raptors are so bad, cat believe they lost that lead

[DapDaGenius]

Wow...I hate the Raptors so much for losing that game.

[crc21209]

Fuck Toronto. Hope they get swept by whoever they play...

[DapDaGenius]

Toronto is fucking worthless. Up 118-113 with a minute left and theyre about to lose for being stupid. Down 119-118 now with 1 sec...

Game 6?

[Captivus]

Toronto can beta 5...not 8

[jkid12456]

i love how thomas walks, looks like he walks on a wood stick, damn priate

[Hoops Czar]

Spurs nearly blew a 15 point lead with a little ;ver a minute remaining.

[r0drig0lac]

Game 6?
this

[Raven]

shitty lineup

[ElNono]

decent 1st quarter... need to make those 3s

[RD2191]

bench not bringing it

[jkid12456]

damn, i got to admit this, but patty mills is getting killed by thomas..

[Uriel]

Coasting, tbh.

[Captivus]

Thomas is very good...no surprise.

[Hoops Czar]

damn, i got to admit this, but patty mills is getting killed by thomas..

Which is why he won't be seeing much playing time versus OKC.

[Mel_13]

shitty lineup

Same bench lineup they've used all season with Baynes in place of Ayres. You miss Ayres?

[BanditHiro]

yeah we are probably going to lose this game because of the Thunder

[ElNono]

Bayne!

[Raven]

Same bench lineup they've used all season with Baynes in place of Ayres. You miss Ayres?

doesn't change the fact that is shitty tbh

[ElNono]

good defense by the bench now

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Baynes triple double watch 4pts 2rebs 2ast

[PingPong]

Same bench lineup they've used all season with Baynes in place of Ayres. You miss Ayres?


Trade both for a bag of chips.

[Mel_13]

doesn't change the fact that is shitty tbh

:lmao

Yep, Spurs have a shitty bench.

[ElNono]

sup Mel

[EVAY]

Refs are really really keeping the Kings in this

[EVAY]

Marco!!!

[r0drig0lac]

Marcooo

[DapDaGenius]

Manu Jr!!!

[r0drig0lac]

baynes with hibbert rule

[RD2191]

:bang

[DapDaGenius]

Didn't expect Outlaw to make that at all.

[Raven]

:lmao

Yep, Spurs have a shitty bench.

well if you look at based on sheer talent, then yes they do.. We have to amazing players in Diaw and Ginobili that bail out everybody else by being basically unguardable for any scheme, that makes players look better than they actually are. Still, other teams don't invest much in having a full bench worth an nba roster so that's where teams lose against us in bench power. Patty and beli are very limited players only useful in a certain scheme and against some players, the same works for baynes, thinking of them without manu leaves me terrified tbh

[SpursFan86]

Wait, timeout...is someone actually saying our bench is shitty? :lmao

[jkid12456]

patty mills doghouse?

[Mel_13]

Well, we disagree.

[EVAY]

Tony was fouled by McCallum

[Raven]

flop :lmao

[Raven]

Well, we disagree.

in what tbh?

[Mel_13]

in what tbh?

In everything you've said about the Spurs' bench. Really not worth any further discussion.

[EVAY]

patty mills doghouse?

No, he went in with about three minutes left in the first, so it is the normal time for a switch-out. I'm concerned that Patty's shoulder may have gotten hurt on that fall under the basket.

[DapDaGenius]

Duncan acting like he can get way with everything.

[Raven]

flopfest :lmao

[RD2191]

We need some Green defense.

[Raven]

In everything you've said about the Spurs' bench. Really not worth any further discussion.

mills is limited due to his size, belinelli due to his athleticism (at least) and baynes due to his lack of defensive awareness. Can we agree on that?

[EVAY]

Spurs have missed virtually every one of their threes tonight and they keep shooting them.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[EVAY]

Thank goodness Manu is going to the rim. Or shooters are missing potloads of easy shots tonight.

[EVAY]

Spurs have taken 11 three pointers and made only one.

[RD2191]

Splitta with the footwork

[Drachen]

My cousin is one of the Silver dancers in that Spurs family commercial. I forgot that she made the team this year

[r0drig0lac]

wow splitter

[EVAY]

Nicely done, Tiago

[SpursFan86]

mills is limited due to his size, belinelli due to his athleticism (at least) and baynes due to his lack of defensive awareness. Can we agree on that?

Name a team with a better bench. No one is saying everyone on our bench is perfect in every aspect...but to act like our bench lineup is shitty is absolutely laughable. Teams around the league would kill for our bench.

[RD2191]

Damn Kawhi, that was nice.

[RD2191]

Nice going Parker. WTF

[RD2191]

Splitta!

[Arcadian]

This is the best big man rotation the Spurs have had in a long time. Duncan + Splitter + Baynes + Diaw 2.0

[RD2191]

garbage call

[Mel_13]

mills is limited due to his size, belinelli due to his athleticism (at least) and baynes due to his lack of defensive awareness. Can we agree on that?

Seriously?

They're bench players. They have limitations. Hell, most starters in the NBA have some limitation or another. It doesn't stop them from forming one of the best benches in the NBA.

You said it was a shitty lineup. That's absurd.

[DapDaGenius]

"And there's Splitter, double figures, game over!"

:lmao

[r0drig0lac]

splitter looking like another guy

[EVAY]

Another bs call

[RD2191]

fukin bullshit, ROFL BRICK

[ElNono]

gay walk

[Raven]

Name a team with a better bench. No one is saying everyone on our bench is perfect in every aspect...but to act like our bench lineup is shitty is absolutely laughable. Teams around the league would kill for our bench.

you're taking it out of the contest tbh, the bench 5 when all toghether, to me it's a shitty lineup. f they are paired with at least one of the starters, well that's a whole different story..

[RD2191]

TIM BLOCK

[RD2191]

get parker the fuck out, dude is messing our game up

[Raven]

Seriously?

They're bench players. They have limitations. Hell, most starters in the NBA have some limitation or another. It doesn't stop them from forming one of the best benches in the NBA.

You said it was a shitty lineup. That's absurd.

you speak like a team is forced to play the bench for half an hour a game.. and you said you don't agree with anything and now you agree that they are limited.. I just think playing that many players with limitations, makes us a lot more vulnerable and there is no need for that.

[EVAY]

you're taking it out of the contest tbh, the bench 5 when all toghether, to me it's a shitty lineup. f they are paired with at least one of the starters, well that's a whole different story..

Just a friendly word of advice…give up on your argument about the bench line-up. Seriously.

[RD2191]

smh parker

[ElNono]

rudy gay back to being rudy gay

[Raven]

abortion ball on both sides..

[ElNono]

damn Gino can't make a long ball tonight

[ElNono]

defense been great though

[DapDaGenius]

Kawhi's arms looked like they stretched.

Also, how the hell is Evans so bad with FT%? 52%?

[ElNono]

good 2nd quarter

[Raven]

47-37.. not bad :lol

[jeebus]

someone might wanna text Manu to stop shooting the fucking 3 ball so much

[Diego20]

Manu 0-5 of 3PG. Really bad..

[SpursFan86]

you're taking it out of the contest tbh, the bench 5 when all toghether, to me it's a shitty lineup. f they are paired with at least one of the starters, well that's a whole different story..

But that's completely off-base.

The Mills-Belinelli-Ginobili-Ayres-Diaw lineup has a net rating of +15.4. That means they outscore the opposing team by 15.4 points per 100 possessions. That's insane for a bench.

There's literally no argument for our bench lineup being average, much less "shitty".

[Raven]

Kawhi's arms looked like they stretched.

Also, how the hell is Evans so bad with FT%? 52%?

reggie evans? he has always been an awful ft shooter.. or a shooter in general, dude is strictly a rebounder, always been.

[DapDaGenius]

LOL @ shooting 8% from the 3pt line

[EVAY]

This game would have been over in the first half had more of our guys gone to the rim more frequently. We look like we are afraid of getting hurt by this young, strong and athletic team, so we just sit back and shoot three after three after three.

Too much one-one-one basketball.

[Raven]

But that's completely off-base.

The Mills-Belinelli-Ginobili-Ayres-Diaw lineup has a net rating of +15.4. That means they outscore the opposing team by 15.4 points per 100 possessions. That's insane for a bench.

am i really being that hard to understand? i see it plenty of time, people just don't seem to understand the point i'm making even if it's properly written..

[DapDaGenius]

reggie evans? he has always been an awful ft shooter.. or a shooter in general, dude is strictly a rebounder, always been.

I know he's always been that way, I just want to know why. Only he could really answer that I guess.

[Arcadian]

you're taking it out of the contest tbh, the bench 5 when all toghether, to me it's a shitty lineup. f they are paired with at least one of the starters, well that's a whole different story..

I agree, I was thinking the same thing. Our 6-10 guys are very good for their roles, but when they're all playing at the same time (the "B team"), they look like...well, a B team.

[SpursFan86]

But I literally just disproved that theory. Unless you're counting Ginobili or Diaw as "starters", in which case, you're arguing that our 8th-11th best players aren't A-team level players...?

STOP THE PRESSES.

[Mel_13]

you speak like a team is forced to play the bench for half an hour a game.. and you said you don't agree with anything and now you agree that they are limited.. I just think playing that many players with limitations, makes us a lot more vulnerable and there is no need for that.

:lmao

Yep, no need to play the bench. Especially, for 30 minutes a game.

Good grief.

[Raven]

I know he's always been that way, I just want to know why. Only he could really answer that I guess.

same reason for why shaq couldn't hit a ft even if paid. Real Bigs that aren't born with soft hands have a lot less sensitivity in their hands, that may be even untrainable or close to.

[Raven]

:lmao

Yep, no need to play the bench. Especially, for 30 minutes a game.

Good grief.

well no, there is no need for that. I think it's pretty much established that green, kawhi and tiago do not play enough minutes for their age and talent.

[EVAY]

We shot 8% of our threes in the first half.

We are, except for Tiago and Kawhi, having a lousy shooting night.

[RD2191]

Damn Kawhi

[timtonymanu]

Nice block Whi

[EVAY]

Damn, Duncan looks like he has dropsy. That's the fourth time I've seen him rolling on the floor tonight.

[DapDaGenius]

Kawhi should have had that.

[RD2191]

Fuck

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Duncan's offense has trailed off a bit since the Miami game. Not close to as bad as it was at the beginning of the season, but hopefully he'll regain the form he had against the Heat soon.

[r0drig0lac]

wtf green

[HI-FI]

ugly offense out there.

[BanditHiro]

so many miss shots at the rim

[loveforthegame]

That was a crazy block by Leonard on Cousins. Too bad he missed the layup. Pretty move.

Getting to the FT line more.

[Raven]

wtf green

2011-12 green just reborn for a sec

[DapDaGenius]

We playing like some b---b-bitches

[RD2191]

Defense going to shit

[loveforthegame]

Green not doing much.

[DapDaGenius]

Finally...a bucket!

[timtonymanu]

Some ugly ass offense out there

[timtonymanu]

Defense going to shit

We're fine on that end. It's all offense.

[Raven]

green showing up

[RD2191]

Parker gets zero respect. Its ridiculous. He would average 30 a game if he got KD calls.

[EVAY]

We're fine on that end. It's all offense.
x100

[Kool Bob Love]

Tar Heel Triple!

[Raven]

Parker gets zero respect. Its ridiculous. He would average 30 a game if he got KD calls.

in fairness, the refing has been consistent, everyone fouls a lot and they aren't calling shit on either side

[EVAY]

Parker gets zero respect. Its ridiculous. He would average 30 a game if he got KD calls.

Don't you think that Tiago has to be steaming because he has gotten fouled so often tonight, and directly in front of the refs, and there is no damn call.

I just don't get why so many players on this team get so few foul calls. You're right about Parker, but it is a team-wide characteristic.

[r0drig0lac]

Parker gets zero respect. Its ridiculous. He would average 30 a game if he got KD calls.
many players would be if they had this type of call

[PingPong]

The spinach effect is over for Splitter.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Timmy the thug

[HI-FI]

crofl, fuck these refs.

[r0drig0lac]

duncan badboy

[loveforthegame]

Green. :lol

[Raven]

so weird to hear a serbian speak english so well..

[EVAY]

Thomas is gonna get fined for that call.

[Diego20]

My eyes hurt of watching this awful game.

[EVAY]

make-up call.

[RD2191]

Don't you think that Tiago has to be steaming because he has gotten fouled so often tonight, and directly in front of the refs, and there is no damn call.

I just don't get why so many players on this team get so few foul calls. You're right about Parker, but it is a team-wide characteristic.

Its bullshit, tbh.

[DapDaGenius]

LOL Even the commentator is laughing at how Thomas fell on his face.

[r0drig0lac]

what is a bad game

[HI-FI]

Rob Cordry copping a lot of attitude with the refs.

[Uriel]

This game is unwatchable.

[EVAY]

These refs should all get fined for the way this game has been called.

[jeebus]

it's almost as bad as watching 10 Errors on the court at the same time

[EVAY]

it's almost as bad as watching 10 Errors on the court at the same time

Maybe that's what the Spurs are doing…it's the Jeff Ayres Memorial Game by the Spurs

[RD2191]

Timmy

[Raven]

i don't remember such a slow paced game in a long time

[Kool Bob Love]

I'm out. Spurs win.:flag:

[RD2191]

Rofl refs

[timtonymanu]

When did Outlaw turn into an NBA player again?

[RD2191]

Oh lawd, fuck off Kings

[EVAY]

thomas got his baskets when Parker had sat down in the first half. He (Thomas) is now 4 of 11 so we will see how he does now.

[ElNono]

:lol refs

[EVAY]

Fuck these refs!!

[loveforthegame]

FU Bonner.

[RD2191]

Is this the ncaa tournament?

[DapDaGenius]

This is just fuckin' horrible.

[timtonymanu]

What a shitfest of a game. :lol

[ElNono]

thompson :lol

[ElNono]

no-headband Isiah.... watch out

[RD2191]

Lmfao. Thomas getting more respect than Parker

[DapDaGenius]

Is this the ncaa tournament?

Not even. This Kentucky game is much better. The Spurs/Kings are playing like local gym teams.

[Diego20]

This game is a joke.

[ElNono]

thats a foul!

[timtonymanu]

:lmao omg

[ElNono]

:lol Manu gets hacked no call.... ripthrough call

[Raven]

soooooooo bad :lol

[loveforthegame]

Ugly game. Both teams. :lol

[Bill_Brasky]

Holy crap both of these teams are playing like shit.

[ElNono]

makes your freebies

[timtonymanu]

Hope they don't play this bad tomorrow

[ElNono]

are these NBDL refs? :lol

[ElNono]

smh Cojo

[BanditHiro]

we are going to lose this game.

[DapDaGenius]

Of course he makes that.

[timtonymanu]

Horse shit

[RD2191]

Baynes, put that pussy out. Not even kidding.

[ElNono]

everybody seems to be 4-11.... Tony 4-11, Manu 4-11, Isiah was 4-11 before that 3

[Uriel]

Did that count?

[MeloHype]

Fuck Thomas

[crc21209]

Of course that damn shot went in. Thomas should have gotten a T a long time ago too. He slammed the ball, threw his headband to the crowd, and threw his fist at the ref..

[ElNono]

did not count

[ElNono]

Thomas still 4-11 :lol

[Robz4000]

:lol glad I'm missing dis one...

[crc21209]

:lol It didnt count!

[timtonymanu]

Lucky break there

[Fireball]

I do not want to think about tomorrow ... Pop will rest everybody

[ElNono]

Patty heating up!!!

[Arcadian]

Playing poorly, still leading by double digits. :tu

[td4mvp21]

This game is fucking weird.

[ElNono]

crappy shot by kiwi... on par wit the game

[crc21209]

Beli J :tu

[ElNono]

almost a 20pt game now

[timtonymanu]

Thankfully we aren't playing the Dubs right now. :lol

[PingPong]

I thought Splitter was to shoot from the 3's.

[Mikeanaro]

Marco!!!! we are doing great!

[EVAY]

Belli finally got a good screen from Tiago. Some of our problems with shooting earlier was that we couldn't get into our sets. The Kings were all over our offense and our guys kept trying too much one-on-one or three point attempts.

[Raven]

i'd say splitter has been the best of our players, great screens, great patient D and not many mistakes.

[ElNono]

well, time to rest the starters... back to back tomorrow

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

This game is making me laugh.
Did someone already post the pic of thomas with his headband on his eyes ??
that shit was funny

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Mccalum reminds me of the monkey from dora the explorer tbh

[loveforthegame]

We can't buy a 3.

[ElNono]

Rambo with the goods

[loveforthegame]

Marco on cue. :lol

[DapDaGenius]

Marco with the 3....mmkay?

[ElNono]

http://i58.tinypic.com/2vss2dg.jpg

[RD2191]

Marco

[PingPong]

4-23 from 3...

[Diego20]

4-23 of 3P now :hat
