Game 80: Spurs vs. Suns, April 11, 2014, 7:30 PM CT

[Horry Hipcheck]

Oh sure, nobody put a body on Bledsoe when he hesitates.

[spurtech09]

eric flukso

[ace3g]

Operation Post Up!!!

[Raven]

D is much worse now

[r0drig0lac]

ayres 2.0?

[Cry Havoc]

Holy shit can the Suns miss a shot without the announcers calling for a foul?

Meanwhile anytime a Spurs player gets hacked it's a "really good defensive play".

[spurtech09]

wow belli is way off

[superjames1992]

Enrique is getting torched...

[Raven]

let me rephrase that: D is shitty now.

[ElNono]

:lol why are you bitching Pop? you're playing him

[spurtech09]

something not right about belli

[crc21209]

Pop chewing Ayred out, you're the one who throws him out there Pop! :lol

[$pursDynasty]

Some of the guys looked gassed I wonder why Pop hasn't brought Splitter or Ayers in a little

[Xylus]

Holy shit this game is fast-paced

[ElNono]

let me rephrase that: D is shitty now.

no Kiwi or Danny... no shit

[$pursDynasty]

something not right about belli
You just noticing that?

[Raven]

something not right about belli

like?

[$pursDynasty]

my bad I meant Baynes or Splitter

[Horry Hipcheck]

Phoenix, the would-be OKC Thunder.

[Hoops Czar]

Belinelli has Paddy Mills syndrome. Get it and shoot it.

[bklynspursfan]

Pop chewing Ayred out, you're the one who throws him out there Pop! :lol

He's been the best at the 5 spot tonight. But yea TP was getting on him to on that Bledsoe drive.

[spurtech09]

like?
his game

[$pursDynasty]

For me when Manu isn't out there Belli looks worse than Neal, in fact pretty much useless except for a wide open 3.

[spurtech09]

don't give the ball to belli

[Horry Hipcheck]

Spurs are 30-7 in their back to backs this season, tonight pending. A few years ago, b2bs were guaranteed losses.

[timtonymanu]

:lol Belinelli

[Raven]

his game

i don't see anything different from any of his games ever

[spurtech09]

patty!!!!!!!!!!

[ElNono]

Patty heating up!

[FaM0us Skins]

PATTY

[Horry Hipcheck]

PATTY MILLS WHAT THE FUCK

[spurtech09]

shooting to quick

[$pursDynasty]

Get Belli out of there

[EVAY]

Mills is in for Parker and I think that's a good move because Parker was looking quite tentative out there suddenly. Like the pain pills wore off.

[ace3g]

shooters touch

[Cry Havoc]

MILLS WICKED SICK

[ElNono]

good job patty

[spurtech09]

finally a call goes are way!!!!!!

[HI-FI]

finally, get some officiating on our side.

[ElNono]

gotta make shots... can't waste possesions

[Xylus]

Fucking terrible charge call.

[r0drig0lac]

patty da gawd

[FaM0us Skins]

Turnover by Bledsoe!

[Raven]

nice to see some effort from patty... much needed charge

[Cry Havoc]

Phoenix announcers: Why are we not shooting 70 FT per game!?

[Dex]

Det dude Beli slumping :(

[FaM0us Skins]

95-95 with 5:30 to go

[Cry Havoc]

Fucking terrible charge call.

About time we get a little home cookin'.

[$pursDynasty]

Belli is about as useless as Bonner on defense, and just like Bonner if his 3 isn't falling he is worse than useless, he is a liability.

[spurtech09]

Mills is in for Parker and I think that's a good move because Parker was looking quite tentative out there suddenly. Like the pain pills wore off.just out of breath

[superjames1992]

Houston and Minnesota tied at 103 with a minute and a half left.

[ElNono]

Adam Silver didn't like that call, tbh...

Welp, I expect the Spurs to do what they always do in the last 5 minutes: dominate

Exactly what I said.

If Goran Dragic is out for tomorrow's game, I'll see you guys in Hell. Gonna put those cyanide pills to good use.

He will be > Parker >> Manu

If the Suns play like they have most of tonight, they'll run roughshod over Dallas.

[spurtech09]

fun game to watch

[crc21209]

I don't think tonight's outcome is going to matter whether we get Dallas, Phoenix, or Memphis. Those 3 teams will decide that amongst each other since they all practically play each other in the coming days...

don't sweat it. you have a good, young team. Spurs just playing with too much purpose and depth. If you guys were in the East, you'd be tearing it up.

I'm just happy if we win for the HCA, and also for that parroting pedo downstairs to shut up.

same here. Spurs played it by ear, not sure if they wanted to go for it now, but MVParker got things going, Green was unconscious, Belli got out of his funk and KAWHI is just a badass dude.

[BatManu20]

What in the actual fck?

454814652975681536

[Sean Cagney]

THEY NEEDED THIS WIN! OKC is going to win out IMO and the Spurs are not guaranteed to win against Houston. I think the Spurs would have rested all their guys against LA as well, that would have left it open for the Thunder to tie and steal the seed. I was worried.

[BatManu20]

Fuck what is this from?

Rudy

[Perry Mason]

MVPATTY led the Spurs during the closing minutes while Enrique was anchored on the bench, tbh.

Given that Parker carried the team coming out into the 3rd, I think Pop simply felt he gave TP enough run. But keep hating on the Spurs' most necessary player.

[Uriel]

Pop needs to shut down the Big 3 for the rest of the year.

One of the better ones, all things considered. Up there with shitting all over Miami back in March.

[wildchild]

Agree but Tony or Manu could likely be out of rhythm early in the 1rst round? However, I prefer Pop sits the Big3 next two games.

It would be a shame if the Suns don't make the playoffs. They have a legit shot at upsetting a top seed. Hopefully it's not us.:lol

[Hoops Czar]

This was a good litmus test for the Spurs. The OKC Thunder are the Phoenix Suns on crack, only with better execution, rebounding and a superstar SF. Should be fun as long as they don't surrender HCA.

[Mikeanaro]

Cool, now they can rest some days and start the new chapter...:flag:

[TVI]

Thanks for all the support guys.

Earlier they offered to put him on an intubater to help him breathe, but he declined. If he was put on an intubater he would basically live the rest of his days in a hospital bed with a tube down his throat. He doesn't wanna go out like that.

The good news is, we just left the hospital and he's still alive. They gave him some medicine and he's getting some rest now.

Again, Thanks for all the support, it means a lot.Cherish the time you can spend with him while he's still here. Life is precious.

[ElNono]

Let's see...

Leonard playing... check!
Green playing... check!
Splitter playing... check!
Suns shooting 59%... check!

Let's see Spurstalk try to spin this one!

The Suns are a scrappy, talented team. I'm sure I'd feel differently had the Spurs lost, but overall they're a team I can respect because they play hard without being a bunch of Russell Westbrooks about it. Your contributions around always pertain to the discussion of the game and not being a shithead troll so feel free to stick around after your team beats the Mavs tomorrow.

[kjhip1]

Love pop's interview. What dumb question to ask him at the end.

[BatManu20]

Hoping the Suns beat the Mavs in Dallas tomorrow and end up in the 7 seed but it's going to be tough for them on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back and likely without Dragic again. That battle for the 8th seed is going to come down to the final game of the season for those teams, as well as Memphis.

[jkid12456]

pops a boss

[Hoops Czar]

:lol, tbh

Are you always on, tbh? The Suns were misfiring on wide open shots and the Spurs capitalized with incredible shooting performances by Green and Leonard. The shot selection was piss poor for much of the game and theyve now taken 64 three's in their last two games. It better not become a theme going forward. But, I got to give credit where credit is due, your boy Ayres put forth a solid effort in 20 minutes.

[Hoops Czar]

:lol, tbh



The Suns blew the Spurs out of the friggin building last time they met in Pheonix, though I believe Parker and Daye didn't play. Teams with quickness and athleticism give the Spurs fits. The Spurs would win a 7 game series but it wouldn't be a walk in the park.

I fully expect the Spurs to dominate the second half and win of course.


Tbh!!!

[ElNono]

I told you while you were melting down in the 1st half that they were shooting way over their head and it was going to eventually even out... Nonostradamus, tbh

[ElNono]

We're also missing easy shots and they're hitting everything... it'll even out eventually


godsoe is gonna eventually quit... that's what he does... he showed off already... Spurs need to be ready to take it back to them...


Plus the Suns are hitting every fluky shot... It doesn't matter who you put out there... sometimes teams get the hot hand...

[Robz4000]

Solid win. Rest everyone until Wednesday tbh. Can they just forfeit the Rockets game? Serious question imo.
