2014 NBA playoffs - 2nd Round, Game 1 - Blazers @ Spurs

[DPG21920]

If the Spurs can just really focus on the defensive glass, with their offense right now they can prevent any major comeback. Spurs are taking care of the ball (2 of the TO's aren't killers from Manu because they didn't lead to fast break ops), getting what ever they want offensively and playing solid initial defense.

POR missed a few makeable shots, but so did SA.

[Capt Bringdown]

Pop saving Baynes for this series?

Crazy, ain't it? I likes it!

[exstatic]

Portland looks lifeless out there

Bunny in the headlights. They're stunned.

[100%duncan]

I'm honestly scared of Patty Beli esp this series. Blazers guards will light them up tbh.

[ShoogarBear]

Blazer Fan is losing his shit right now over Aron Baynes. :lol

[ElNono]

I'm just glad we moved on from last series... there's no more "switch everything", we can actually run plays

[TDfan2007]

Wow...what a start!

[Trill Clinton]

spurs succ when its less than 7 seconds on the clock and the other team has the ball.

[xtremesteven33]

Portland hasnt been out of the first round in 15 YEARS!!! alot of pressure on this team tbh

[sexinthatsx]

I hate how the refs are trying to kill momentum by calling BS travels on Ginobili

[timtonymanu]

I'm honestly scared of Patty Beli esp this series. Blazers guards will light them up tbh.

Belinelli, sure. Mills, I have hope for. He was stupid on that final possession, but he just needs to play with hustle.

[TheGoldStandard]

No unnatural experiments Pop, no Bonner or Ayres..

[RD2191]

should be close at the half

[Budkin]

Really think the Mavs series helped

[Fireball]

Great first quarter the only bads were the refs killing our momentum and that last play. How can you let Mo go coast to coast tbh? one other bad was the rebounding ... Lopez gets too many opportunities for offensive rebounds

[TheRemix]

Wow this team..i love them

[RD2191]

son of a bitch

[Fireball]

should be close at the half Blazers never stop and never go away ...

[TheGoldStandard]

Mo Williams wide open

[atoyotagaspedal]

Great screen by bellenelli

[DPG21920]

:lmao Beli screening his own teammate on defense.

[gilmor]

We should really trade Parker..

[ShoogarBear]

What's the record for most travels in a playoff game?

[TheGoldStandard]

Hurry up Pop, Kawhi and Green back in now

[Johnny RIngo]

Marco sucks.

Every Spur that played tonight a plus in that first quarter...except Marco. Dat negative impact.

[testies]

BELINELLI SCREENED MILLS
WHAT
THE FUCK

[Cry Havoc]

Refs taking this game over.

[sylvinhooo11]

Pop hates Splitter... He plays well with Ginobili and maintain Baynes...

[Beaverfuzz]

RING IT UP PATTY MILLS!

[DPG21920]

Pop is really a stubborn a-hole with this Beli thing.

[MeloHype]

Mills!

[superjames1992]

Nice decision by Manu. Great make by Patty. :tu

[Capt Bringdown]

Aussie Power!

[Cry Havoc]

PATTY

[313]

MILLS333

[RD2191]

wtf mills

[Knoxxx]

BAM! Mills for tres!

[Beaverfuzz]

And a good foul by Patty. Don't let them score.

[spurraider21]

this is why baynes needed more minutes over the course of the year, so these silly mistakes wouldn't be a thing.

[TheGoldStandard]

You suck so hard Mills..

[timtonymanu]

Ugh Patty come on

[superjames1992]

Tbh, I doubt Manu has a ton of success in this series if Batum continues to guard him.

[Captivus]

easy guys...you are millionaires...dont get nervous...

[DPG21920]

That is one of the worst TO's you can have, Mills. Wow.

[DatBoyGood]

Turnovers....

[SupremeGuy]

I hate how the refs are trying to kill momentum by calling BS travels on GinobiliThe one they called at the top of the key was a travel, tbh.

[313]

BAYNESSS

[superjames1992]

BaynesVP.

[SupremeGuy]

Baynes doing fucking work!

[Beaverfuzz]

Mr Baynes, I hate that you are a Wazzu Coug, but I love that you are a Spur

[Knoxxx]

I keep checking my program to figure out who these scrubs Portland keeps rolling out are...

[Cry Havoc]

The passing!! Baynes again!!!!

[Beaverfuzz]

MARCO!!!



POLO!

[ace3g]

Beli!!!

[superjames1992]

BELLI!!!!!!!!!!

[DatBoyGood]

YES!!!!!

[100%duncan]

BELIBOY

[RD2191]

MARCO FINALLY

[313]

WELCOME BACK MARCOOOO

[Malik Hairston]

Finally, Belinelli showing some life..

[SupremeGuy]

BELI SHITTING ON HATERS!

[Salty]

The entire arena went silent right before Marco hit that shot...beautiful, hope he's back

[ShoogarBear]

Beli hits a three? Portland should quit and rest up for Thursday.

[r0drig0lac]

stallone

[Cry Havoc]

MARCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


WELCOME BACK!!!!!

[spursfan1000]

Beli Baynes and patty making shots easy, good sign.

[TheGoldStandard]

Money!!! Shit when Baynes is the X Factor in this game then Marco has to hit that 3.

[Captivus]

POR looks really uncomfortable.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Marco 333333333?!?!?!?!

[MeloHype]

Tbh, I doubt Manu has a ton of success in this series if Batum continues to guard him.whoever Lillard guards will have success, dudes worse than Parker on defense not even joking

[SpurPadre]

Come on Beli expose those balls!

[spurspokesman]

Bout daggone time marco

[Raven]

dat screen was hilarious tbh :lol

[DPG21920]

Man, Beli needed that so bad. He's still like a -6, but hopefully that gets him going :lol

[PingPong]

At least, the Fiat hit his first shot. Just hope that give him some confidence.

[Knoxxx]

BELLY NELLY!!!

[Budkin]

Marco 333

[spurraider21]

if marco was on OKC he would have fallen down from that light contact after the shot tbh

[jkid12456]

baynes and patty mills!!! 2g!

[itsamanuthree]

:lmao Beli screening his own teammate on defense.


Yeah!!! LOL!

He nailed his first shot attempt though, that's good

[Captivus]

KEEP IT UP!

[Horry Hipcheck]

Baynes and Marco not shitting the bed yet, good signs all around.

[timtonymanu]

That's already better than anything he did in the 1st round. :lol

[Malik Hairston]

As I said in my preview thread, Portland cannot guard the post-up, they ranked among the worst in the league..

Boris and Kawhi's post-ups have destroyed them, so far..

Diaw will eat Dorrell Wright in the post all night..

[Fireball]

holy shit ... Spurs looking like the Clippers .... wait, what?

[sexinthatsx]

The one they called at the top of the key was a travel, tbh.

caught the ball, took two steps, and started his dribble. I didn't think it was

[ShoogarBear]

14 points by the bench so far, led by perennial Sixth Man of the Year candidate Aron Baynes.

[xtremesteven33]

As I said in my preview thread, Portland cannot guard the post-up, they ranked among the worst in the league..

Boris and Kawhi's post-ups have destroyed them, so far..

Good shit bro

[PingPong]

Put Errors in. If he scores, just end the game.

[TampaDude]

Keep the hammer down, guys! No mercy! Bury the Blazers!

[Raven]

Finally, Belinelli showing some life..

that's actually the worst that can happen, just like it happened the last time beli went off against portland..

[100%duncan]

I thought Blazers were gonna close out on our lead with our lineup tbh :lol but theirs was worse

[spursparker9]

Beli for second round MVP

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

MARCO! I always loved him.

[look_at_g_shred]

Dat bench...there it be

[Capt Bringdown]

Where was this smash-mouth Spurs ball in the 1st round? Weird.

[testies]

Good, now that shot will make Pop continuing playing this D-less scrub

[Knoxxx]

Man, Beli needed that so bad. He's still like a -6, but hopefully that gets him going :lol

Law of averages, I mean look at the garbage Mavs were throwing up and hitting against us.

[jkid12456]

NO ERRORS

[ElNono]

How good is Rick Carlisle?

[spurspokesman]

All this while resting parker and duncan. Sweet!!!!

[Malik Hairston]

that's actually the worst that can happen, just like it happened the last time beli went off against portland..

I agree, but Pop isn't going to bench him, so lets just hope his offense can negate some of that defense:lol..

[lofds]

Blazers look dazed. Let's hope the Spurs don't give them any hope or confidence and crush them for this entire game to set the tone for the series.

[TheGoldStandard]

If Ayres comes in and Dunks I'm going out and buying lotto tickets

[sexinthatsx]

Baynes and Marco not shitting the bed yet, good signs all around.

Baynes is a beast out there. I'm liking his rotations on the court.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Patty draining anything he puts up would be a nice touch on this otherwise positive outing so far.

[TheGoldStandard]

How good is Rick Carlisle?
Coach of the Year worthy

[jkid12456]

DANG I WANT TO SEE MORE OF PATTY AND BAYNES CONNECTION

[Fireball]

i love the clean slate approach for a new series ... every player can become a factor in a series

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Few too many turnovers, gotta clean up the turnovers and continue the intensity and Spurs got this game.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Fuck Regi Miller for making me watch this muted

[Knoxxx]

THE BENCH IS UNLEASHING!

[SpurPadre]

if marco was on OKC he would have fallen down from that light contact after the shot tbh

And the opposing player would've been suspended the next game.

[spurspokesman]

Thebench bringing it

[itsamanuthree]

BAYNES WOW

[Captivus]

Even TD cant believe it!!

[313]

BAYNES

[Beaverfuzz]

MY MAIN WHITE BOY BAYNES!

[SupremeGuy]

PORTLAND'S RECKONING!

[spurspokesman]

Yeah he's crushing it so far.

[ace3g]

Baynes again!!! white dwight

[Brazil]

Just back from work, missed the beginning how my client is doing tbh ?

[Raven]

fucking baynes exposing robin lopez shitty rim protection :lol

[Malik Hairston]

Stotts has coached an awful game, so far, tbh..

[313]

Splitter taught baynes how to guard La lol

[Beaverfuzz]

Patty fouled on a 3. hahahahahahahaha

[100%duncan]

My man Baynes tbh

[spurspokesman]

Yesssssssssss

[DPG21920]

:lol Baynes blacking out right now. How is he not exhausted? He was the most tired guy ever in the regular season after like 5 minutes..

[Horry Hipcheck]

PATTY NEARLY HAD A FOUR POINT PLAY DEAR GOD HAHAHAHAHA

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Come all ye and gather in the church of Baynes

[TheGoldStandard]

Mills with the OKC flop

[spursfan1000]

lmao baynes passed it to splitter like hes a guard lol

[Cry Havoc]

Mills!! THREE FREE THROWS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[sexinthatsx]

Man, Aron Baynes sets some hard screens, it's awesome

[Knoxxx]

THE WHITE TWIN TOWERS UNLEASHED BAYNES AND SPLITTER PORTLAND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!

[Splits]

Pop looking like a genius getting this production and D outta Bayne.

[r0drig0lac]

dat ball movement

[SupremeGuy]

A little late, but that Beli screen on Mills was fucking hilarious and maddening at the same time. lol

[spurspokesman]

Patty cakes

[Malik Hairston]

All of Portland's defensive flaws are on display, so far..

28th in the league in pick&roll defense
26th in the league in post-up defense
28th in the league in points in the paint allowed

[Trill Clinton]

the blazers just going with a 7 man rotation?

[TheGoldStandard]

Offense Foul!!!

[100%duncan]

GOGGLES

[itsamanuthree]

OHHHH THE BENCH!!!!! it's a 22 point game

[313]

Pattyyyy

[spurspokesman]

THe bench might bench the starters lol

[Knoxxx]

Low BB IQ play alert: Lillard pushes off on Mills

[Horry Hipcheck]

This is an entirely different Spurs team from five days ago. Unreal.

[vander]

Mills' defensive tenacity and effort always makes me happy

[RD2191]

FUCK SETTLE DOWN

[SupremeGuy]

Ugh fucking Mo

[Raven]

well the bench did great, i can't complain at all..

[DPG21920]

the blazers just going with a 7 man rotation?

I have counted 8: Mo, Wright & Thomas Robinson

[RD2191]

:bang

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

All right time for the starters to go maintain the lead.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Bad shot from Mills followed by an and-1 coughed up by Baynes. THERE'S the bench play we saw vs. Dallas. :lol

[itsamanuthree]

THe bench might bench the starters lol

if it weren't for the defense

[313]

Timmayyy

[Budkin]

Timmy

[Horry Hipcheck]

Duncan going Mr. Freeze on Lopez :lol

[Cry Havoc]

TIMMY

[benfti]

Baynes again!?!?!? WHAT PLANET IS THIS

who would have seen this coming?

[Beaverfuzz]

TONY!!!

[SupremeGuy]

This is an entirely different Spurs team from five days ago. Unreal.We didn't think the Mavs were worth a real effort, tbh.

[Horry Hipcheck]

PARKER FIRST HALF GOD MODE

[Malik Hairston]

Man, Terry Stotts isn't trying to exploit any of the Spurs flaws, so far:lol..

[Knoxxx]

WARRIOR TP WAS THERE EVER ANY DOUBT?!?!

[Cry Havoc]

Tony is just blowing away Lillard.

[SupremeGuy]

who would have seen this coming?I've been calling for Baynes for so long, tbh.

[Trill Clinton]

I have counted 8: Mo, Wright & Thomas Robinson

i forgot about wright

[Horry Hipcheck]

We didn't think the Mavs were worth a real effort, tbh.

Outside of Tiago and Manu, anyway

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Lillard is getting crushed by Parker!

[Beaverfuzz]

TONY TONY TONY HAS DONE IT AGAIN!

[313]

We're on fire

[itsamanuthree]

Parker with that robot look!! He's ice cool and on fire at the saame time

[r0drig0lac]

mvparker in video game mode

[spurspokesman]

Parker in god mode

[DPG21920]

OFF REBS

[Raven]

loliard is getting absolutely humiliated as i predicted :lol... baptism tbh

[RD2191]

Dunk that shit Kawhi

[TheGoldStandard]

I was hoping Kawhi would slam that!

[Knoxxx]

DAMMIT THESE LUCK ALDRDIGE PUT BACKS!

(heat check Parker there)

[spurspokesman]

Now make free throws kawhi

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Lolard

[100%duncan]

I love the movement. Parker owning Lillard atm.

[313]

Man, Terry Stotts isn't trying to exploit any of the Spurs flaws, so far:lol..
He's not Carlise tbh

[Cry Havoc]

We got a call there, that should have been a foul. But it's Mo Williams so who cares. :lol

[superjames1992]

MVParker tbh...

Belli has also looked good tonight, which is nice.

[testies]

Beli almost fucks up again

[itsamanuthree]

5 mins to go, I take the 20 points lead

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Gotta rebound Spurs.

[TheGoldStandard]

Now if we can just keep this intensity up in the 2nd half.. Need this statement game.

[ElNono]

MVParker doing work :tu:tu:tu

[Horry Hipcheck]

MVParker's in sixth gear against Lillard, tbh

[spurraider21]

As I said in my preview thread, Portland cannot guard the post-up, they ranked among the worst in the league..

Boris and Kawhi's post-ups have destroyed them, so far..

Diaw will eat Dorrell Wright in the post all night..
there was a play (might have been against Wright) where Boris literally backed all the way down until he was literally right at the rim, and had an uncontested layup. they're incredibad here

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Game nowhere near over and don't expect Lillard to continue to play this poorly.

[SupremeGuy]

DAMMIT THESE LUCK ALDRDIGE PUT BACKS!

(heat check Parker there)The last one wasn't luck. He purposely passed to himself off the backboard. It was a nice play, tbh.

[ElNono]

If any of you are at the AT&T, could you run over Reggie Miller on your way out, please? Thanks

[lofds]

This is basketball heaven. It doesn't get any better than this.

[Malik Hairston]

- Stotts still has Lillard, one of the worst defensive players in the league, guarding Parker after Tony has already torched him

- They have only tried 1 or 2 pick&rolls against Duncan

- They are running their offense against the Spurs best defender(Splitter), and running screens, rather than going to Lillard off the dribble and on the pick&roll against Tim

- Belinelli is guarding Mo Williams and they haven't tried to exploit it

Really awful first half from Terry Stotts, tbh, he's not trying to exploit any of the Spurs' defensive weaknesses:lol..

[DPG21920]

Hats off to Splitter though - just done a great job of guarding LA and being active off him as well. Refs letting him play with similar contact he used on Dirk which is great tbh..Finally getting ref respect overall.

[Knoxxx]

Low BB IQ play alert: DA ENTIRE PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS TEAM!!

[SpurPadre]

With those minutes, Baynes shit all over Bonner and Ayres' little to no collective worth the rest of the way.

[spursfan1000]

If any of you are at the AT&T, could you run over Reggie Miller on your way out, please? Thanks
they dont show the games on southwest?

[testies]

someone take a charge on Aldridge when he drives, he begs for it

[TheGoldStandard]

Spurs forcing Aldridge to beat them with his jumper, not going to allow anyone else free run to the lane or those ugly ass prayer 3's

[SupremeGuy]

We got a call there, that should have been a foul. But it's Mo Williams so who cares. :lolYeah lol fuck that faggot

[spurraider21]

Lillard getting "olajuwon"ed at the moment

[maverick1948]

Baynes 7 mins 8 pts 5 reb MVP stats. expand per 35 min you get 40 pts and 25 boards..

[ShoogarBear]

Blazers starters 23
Spurs bench 21

[Capt Bringdown]

I've been calling for Baynes for so long, tbh.

I seem to recall a pretty good stretch of basketball from him at some point during the season. And then he was mysteriously benched.
Just look at the dude and you can tell he's got a future in the NBA. Hopefully in a Spurs uniform.
And on the floor, ffs.

[ElNono]

they dont show the games on southwest?

im outta town

[TheGoldStandard]

they dont show the games on southwest?

Dallas game 6 was the last one on FSSW

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Bench hasn't played this well all Dallas series, is that cause Baynes didn't play at all?

[Fireball]

If any of you are at the AT&T, could you run over Reggie Miller on your way out, please? Thanks I already chuckle if this TNT crew will cover most of the series ... rather would have had Kerr

[Knoxxx]

The last one wasn't luck. He purposely passed to himself off the backboard. It was a nice play, tbh.

Me thinks you gives him too much credit, but nice effort play nonetheless.

[DPG21920]

I kind of like that Manu got two tough calls on him and showed some emotion. I think it will cause him to play well on his next stint. Manu is like Wesley Snipes in White Men Can't Jump - plays better when he's angry.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I seem to recall a pretty good stretch of basketball from him at some point during the season. And then he was mysteriously benched.
Just look at the dude and you can tell he's got a future in the NBA. Hopefully in a Spurs uniform.
He was key during the winning streak.

[DatBoyGood]

Cannot relax, we all know Portland is going to make a 3rd quarter run

[SupremeGuy]

Baynes 7 mins 8 pts 5 reb MVP stats. expand per 35 min you get 40 pts and 25 boards..The White Dipper, tbh.

[Beaverfuzz]

MARCO!

[ace3g]

Beli!!!!!!

[RD2191]

MARCO

[PingPong]

Bench hasn't played this well all Dallas series, is that cause Baynes didn't play at all?

I think Bayne isn't thathi IQBball. But Portland isn't the most smartest team around....

[superjames1992]

Kawhi is just awful at the FT line in the playoffs...

Belli!

[TheGoldStandard]

Dat Dude shitting on Portland

[SupremeGuy]

BELI SHITTING ON HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Knoxxx]

Dallas game 6 was the last one on FSSW

That was a direct Miami Heat related screw job too!

[313]

That 3 hapened because of Tony

[Admidave50]
