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

[Crookshanks]

It's a good thing we had such an awesome 2nd quarter, because they sure have cooled off in the 3rd.

[EVAY]

I mentioned this earlier, but Portland has actually started playing some D. Now is the time for us to slow our game down and be certain about what we are doing. Manu is into super quick decisions and shots right now, which is not really what we want.

Tony has gone cold again, and we are just out of sorts…but some of that is Portland picking up its defense.

Pop needs to settle our team down.

[313]

Chill guys, we just wanna give the fans a show for coming out. Yaknow, since this thang ain't coming back to SA.

[TheGoldStandard]

You don't need Manu in the game when everyone is playing team ball, we don't need a spark.. He doesn't have it tonight just let it go. Green or kawhi please.. or go small and have patty in there at least his heroing usually means he scores

[ElNono]

gotta make shots

[DPG21920]

Manu was fine... took the open shots, even the contested ones with 2-3 secs left... would've liked him to make some

:lmao

[TheGoldStandard]

Kawhi needs to be back in this game.. immediately.

[Beaverfuzz]

Gotta clean it up on O.

[Malik Hairston]

Duncan's defense has been outstanding tonight, tbh..

[Beaverfuzz]

BORIS MY MAIN MAN!

[EVAY]

We have missed 6 in a row. Need to get it in the basket.

[ElNono]

thats a foul

[TheGoldStandard]

Shitty call but a blessing.. Get that shitty manu out of here tonight

[DPG21920]

That was a bad call.

[RD2191]

:downspin:

[100%duncan]

Jeez

[smaka]

wtf man

[Cry Havoc]

Holy shit that's one of the worst calls of the post-season.

[Malik Hairston]

Manu has 4 fouls, it gives Pop an excuse to sit him, good news, tbh..

[DPG21920]

Manu with the stellar team leading TO's and 1 to 1 ast to TO ratio.

[Crookshanks]

That should've been an And 1 for Manu - instead they call it an offensive foul. Yeah, I found the call offensive! :bang

[loveforthegame]

Leonard better be back to start the 4th.

[Beaverfuzz]

RING IT UP PATTY!

[EVAY]

I would like to see Patty take over now.

[313]

Kawhi better play the whole fourth quarter

[TheGoldStandard]

Manu comes out and we go on a run..

[DPG21920]

Terrible call on LA there IMO. Terrible.

[100%duncan]

lol bad call on aldridge

[Beaverfuzz]

Score here, Spurs ball in the 4th.

[RD2191]

what a shitty 3rd.

[Beaverfuzz]

PATTY MILLS RING IT THE FUCK UP!

[DPG21920]

How many missed layups????? My goodness Spurs.

[Trainwreck2100]

Earl Watson? Did he even play lady series?

[313]

Pattyyy ring it up

[Beaverfuzz]

hahahaha, Earl Watson in the game. STFD Stotts!

[ElNono]

well, considering we couldn't find the basket, good quarter... let's close this out

[TheGoldStandard]

No more Manu the rest of the game, seriously.. Green and Kawhi the rest of the way.

[KaiRMD1]

So far so good but why do we almost always have such bad third quarters?

[jag]

That quarter is on Manu

[EVAY]

Yes Patty!!!!

[99 Problems]

Patty Leonard

[Malik Hairston]

Good recovery after Manu went to the bench, tbh, let him rest for game 3..

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Pop better play kawhi the whole 4th, that fcking asshole...

[Crookshanks]

Crappy quarter - but Spurs still have a 16 point lead. I'll take it. :flag:

[Trainwreck2100]

Lol 17 points in one quarter.

[smaka]

Splitter missing bunnies, Manu playing like shit... And we are still up 16, not bad. Let's finish this now!:flag:

[EVAY]

Well, Matthews can take solace in his team having won this quarter.

[Captivus]

dunk it tiago

[Fireball]

now put Kawhi back in and its a wrap ...

[RD2191]

stupid fukin basketball. pop needs to pull manu when he sees he doesn't have it. shit isn't gonna fly in portland. :pctoss

[ElNono]

Well, Matthews can take solace in his team having won this quarter.

:lol

[jag]

Tiago is finishing like a homo. He needs to quit rushing his shots

[TDfan2007]

Bad quarter offensively, especially with spacing.

[EVAY]

Pop better play kawhi the whole 4th, that fcking asshole...

Blame it on Derrick Stafford, not Pop. Stafford is the one who called two fouls on Leonard within a thirty second time period after Leonard had been lighting up the Blazers.

[ElNono]

good to see Patty dropping some shots...

[024]

Good thing the Blazers didn't capitalize on that abysmal third quarter.

[ElNono]

I'm gonna miss this kind of whistle in Portland, tbh

[DPG21920]

Spurs lose another 3rd quarter, but again, thanks to the huge first half adverted danger. Would like to see them win that 4th and get back on track in terms of execution.

Hopefully Manu didn't run out of gas in the Mavs series. He was very good in that series when we needed him until TP took over in game 7, but there is no reason for how bad he's looked in this series with no pressure. His scoring is off, can't finish at the rim/in the paint and has just had some mind boggling TO's. Has to get it together even though the Spurs haven't needed him yet.

[TDfan2007]

Manu had a great first quarter. Not sure what happened...also, it would be nice if Tim started making some shots.

[Horse]

Need to finish it. I don't think portland has the mental makeup just yet.

[freetiago]

Leonard immediately gets sat after his 3rd foul in the 3rd when he just hits a confident step back 3 and hes 7-8 from the field

Pop keeps Manu out when he shat the bed the entire quarter and had 4 fouls

only thing thats giving Portland a chance tbh..

[Beaverfuzz]

Great interview Popp. haha

[100%duncan]

I'd hit Heather tbh.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[mclinejr]

:pop: "I have no clue."

[DPG21920]

Tiago has been pretty awful around the rim today. In a game where the Spurs have 6 TO's Manu has 3 :lol

[smaka]

fuck marco's d

[loveforthegame]

Leonard on the bench still. :bang

[Beaverfuzz]

RING IT UP PATTY MILLS!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

CLOSE THE DOORS!

[loveforthegame]

Patty. :tu

[100%duncan]

Patty stepping up

[DPG21920]

Wow, that was a Kobe-esque chuck. What an a-hole Danny.

[EVAY]

That Green immediate three that he missed is what will make Pop furious.

[TheGoldStandard]

Seriously, get Kawhi back in the game

[024]

Take Green out...

[loveforthegame]

Come on Green.

[RD2191]

these dudes gonna get blown out in portland

[Beaverfuzz]

TIAGO!

IT'S PRETTY, IT'S SO PRETTY!

[mclinejr]

Tiago!

[EVAY]

Seriously, get Kawhi back in the game

Agreed. He only has three fouls. Why is't he in there now?

[smaka]

How was that not a foul? And then Bl:lolzers rant, lol.

[mclinejr]

these dudes gonna get blown out in portland

It will be close, tbh. I don't foresee any blowouts.

[Beaverfuzz]

That was actually a good move to the hoop Splitter!

[RD2191]

Way too many points allowed. Way too many.

[ElNono]

everything is so much easier when we make shots... make your freethrows Tiago

[Beaverfuzz]

It will be close, tbh. I don't foresee any blowouts.

tbh, I think you're right.

[KaiRMD1]

Anybody know why Jon Barry hates the Spurs so much?

[EVAY]

Another missed assist opportunity by a missed layup

[100%duncan]

Where the fuck is Kawhi

[timtonymanu]

Put Leonard in already, Pop. FFS.

[mclinejr]

Way too many points allowed. Way too many.

Coasting.

[BatManu20]

Poor Splitter. He's just always going to be the 7'0 Center who gets blocked constantly tbh.

[DPG21920]

Tiago is just so sad around the rim :lol. I like him much, much better when he was just laying it up. Now that he's trying to dunk, he's awful at it.

[sook]

OP stealing the vid I posted for brownie points :lol

Glad it was good luck though :tu

[Rummpd]

This is too close for comfort after the big lead....need to strech it out and not give Blazers momentum going into game 3

[Raven]

no idea how is that a 12 point game

[TDfan2007]

The defense hasn't been there this half.

[Fireball]

seems Kawhi got benched for taking that three ball despite making it ...

[EVAY]

Where the fuck is Kawhi

He came in when Tony did a minute ago or so.

[TE]

The hate from Jon Barry is making me watch this on mute.

[Malik Hairston]

Anybody know why Jon Barry hates the Spurs so much?

Probably because Tony Parker fucked his brother's wife, tbh:lol..

[look_at_g_shred]

The hate from Jon Barry is making me watch this on mute.

[Beaverfuzz]

Mo Williams (strained labia) will not return.

[Cry Havoc]

these dudes gonna get blown out in portland

There are people with advanced stage terminal illnesses that are more positive than you.

[EVAY]

Mo Williams (strained labia) will not return.

I'm not sure that hurts them if he is replaced by Barton.

[Beaverfuzz]

Probably because Tony Parker fucked his brother's wife, tbh:lol..

He hated San Antonio long before that happened.

[RD2191]

This is gonna be close. I can feel it.

[Josh810]

Lmao Jon Barry is absolutely desperate for a Blazers comeback.

[DPG21920]

What is changing in the second half? I mean, I know you aren't going to murder them every quarter, but to lose 3 straight 2nd half quarters after dominating so hard in the first half is just odd.

[RD2191]

So it begins.

[TheGoldStandard]

Fucking Splitter

[Fireball]

Blame it on Derrick Stafford, not Pop. Stafford is the one who called two fouls on Leonard within a thirty second time period after Leonard had been lighting up the Blazers. sorry, but you can put a player in to start the 4th with 3 fouls

[Rummpd]

make your damm FTS

[KaiRMD1]

Probably because Tony Parker fucked his brother's wife, tbh:lol..

I would've thought that too but he hated the Spurs long before that

[DPG21920]

F off Tiago.

[The_Coyote]

The defense hasn't been there this half.

Our offense has been even worse.

[TheGoldStandard]

hahahhaahahahaha.. refs.. lol

[jiggy_55]

The defense hasn't been there this half.
More like the offense that scored 70 points has gone cold. Defense is on pace for about the same as the 51 points we gave up in the first half.

[jag]

Fuck mo Williams. I hope his sack exploded

[RD2191]

:lmao:lmao

[Crookshanks]

Geez Splitter - you gotta make your freethrows!

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

OP stealing the vid I posted for brownie points :lol

Glad it was good luck though :tu

Good God who is that girl in your posts?

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu with the big momentum changing 3rd quarter fuckup

[TE]

Good god. Don't make that Robinson lol.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard might as well be on the bench the way they don't even look for him.

[RD2191]

:lmaoPop to finish it off.

[TheGoldStandard]

Oh No Manu is back in.. Time for Hero Mode 2.0

[DPG21920]

Let's go Manu. Play smart and make an impact. Spurs need you.

[BanditHiro]

ginobili going to fuck it up again

[Beaverfuzz]

:flag:

GO SPURS GO!

[Rummpd]

Parker

[Cry Havoc]

Parker fucking huge.

[EVAY]

sorry, but you can put a player in to start the 4th with 3 fouls

Oh, I agree totally with that. I was responding to your complaint that he was taken out in the third…I agree he has to be there to start the 4th.

[Beaverfuzz]

Run the shot clock down and make them play D.

[DPG21920]

Incredible finish by Lillard :wow

[RD2191]

:lmao

[KaiRMD1]

Jon Barry just jizzed off the replay

[TheGoldStandard]

Fucking FTs come on

[Beaverfuzz]

You've got...
to make...
your free throws.

[Malik Hairston]

3-11 from the FT line..smh..

[timtonymanu]

Uhh can you hit your free throws, Spurs?

[Cry Havoc]

What the fuck... 3-11 from the stripe.

[spurspokesman]

Please dont blow this game spurs

[TE]

Beating themselves from the FT line

[SpurPadre]

My fucking God, they can pull within single digits now. Unfuckingbelievable

[DPG21920]

Spurs are killing themselves at the line. It's so frustrating.

[Rummpd]

missed fts killling Spurs

[KaiRMD1]

Blazers getting desperate for calls?

[Crookshanks]

I wish you guys would stop saying Tony Parker had sex with Erin Berry. There's no proof of that, and both of them have denied a physical affair. Makes you sound like immature kids.

[RD2191]

:lmao:lmao:lmao

[timtonymanu]

smh step up scrubs

[DPG21920]

This doesn't even look like the same team.

[Beaverfuzz]

MANU!

[Cry Havoc]

Manu incredible play

[TE]

This doesn't bode well for Game three.

[spurspokesman]

manu

[KaiRMD1]

These guys falling all over the place :lmao

[DPG21920]

Spurs need to be careful with the "Memphis Kill the Clock" offense. It's not natural and your offense was killing them.

[Crookshanks]

You've got...
to make...
your free throws.

What in the world happened to the Spurs during half time? It's like 2 completely different teams from one half to the other.

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice find to MANU!

[313]

Offense has been too stagnant in the 2nd half

[RD2191]

This doesn't bode well for Game three.

[Cry Havoc]

I wish you guys would stop saying Tony Parker had sex with Erin Berry. There's no proof of that, and both of them have denied a physical affair. Makes you sound like immature kids.

Welcome to SpursTalk, where people think running in online "crews" makes them cool. :lol

[KaiRMD1]

Keep trading baskets and we should be fine

[SpurPadre]

Portland is doing whatever they want right now.

[EVAY]

I wish you guys would stop saying Tony Parker had sex with Erin Berry. There's no proof of that, and both of them have denied a physical affair. Makes you sound like immature kids.

Thank you.

[RD2191]

Pathetic.

[DPG21920]

Manu's guy.

[Cry Havoc]

Actually I like this for game 3. If we pull the win out, it's going to mean we're going to come out fighting.

[Beaverfuzz]

MY MAIN MAN BORIS

4

TRES!

[TE]

French vs french

[KaiRMD1]

See

[Cry Havoc]

FUCKING BORIS DIAW

[Crookshanks]

These announcers are so hoping Portland steals this game. Come on Spurs - don't let it happen.

[100%duncan]

Big 3 Boris.

[EVAY]

Yes… Diaw!!!

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Pop going to blow a gasket

[ElNono]

crofl Pop tearing Manu a new one

[Budkin]

This doesn't bode well for Game three.

Shades of the OKC series where they almost won game 2

[DPG21920]

Get some stops. Rebound and ram your offense down their throats.

[mclinejr]

What was Pop so pissed about?

[Uriel]

What was :pop: so mad about?

[RD2191]

Spurs really haven't played good D at all this series. They've just been on fire offensively. They're gonna get bent over in Portland.

[smaka]

Diaw 2.0

[Malik Hairston]

Pop going off on Manu:lol..

Nothing to be concerned about, tbh, Spurs have been coasting in the 2nd half..

[Budkin]

Boris fucking Horry!

[DPG21920]

crofl Pop tearing Manu a new one

You think he's just telling him "you're playing fine, just missing some shots!"

[spurspokesman]

Spurs blowing a big lead as usual. Pop pissed lol

[SpurPadre]

Keep trading baskets and we should be fine

No, that's not good enough. We can't give them confidence heading into Game 3.

[Fireball]

Bobo with an "Horry play" ...

[ElNono]

What was Pop so pissed about?

Manu going under the aldrige screen

[Captivus]

The Spurs like to suffer.

[ElNono]

You think he's just telling him "you're playing fine, just missing some shots!"

well, he's playing him, right?

[RD2191]

If our shot ever stops falling we are screwed. Our defense is pretty terrible.
:wakeup

[Budkin]

Spurs really haven't played good D at all this series. They've just been on fire offensively. They're gonna get bent over in Portland.

Hopefully they have something to work on now.

[jag]

You think he's just telling him "you're playing fine, just missing some shots!"

:lol

[TE]

Boris Horry

[Jdspur20]

what hasn't helped is the Spurs are 4-12 from the line. that's just silly.

[spurspokesman]

Shades of the OKC series where they almost won game 2

[DPG21920]

Pop going off on Manu:lol..

Nothing to be concerned about, tbh, Spurs have been coasting in the 2nd half..

I mean, we can point to game 1 second half being our bench staying in vs their starters, but you think they are just coasting this half? No issues outside of Manu?

[KL2]

The Spurs' offense stalled because they are completely ignoring Leonard out there, 7/8 from the field.

[Beaverfuzz]

Keep up the intensity, gotta keep scoring.

SWEEP THE LEG SPURS!

[jag]

Need Manu to be aggressive here and attack the basket.

[DPG21920]

well, he's playing him, right?

Playing him doesn't = him playing good.

[Crookshanks]

Welcome to SpursTalk, where people think running in online "crews" makes them cool. :lol

This place has gone downhill in the last couple of years, that's why I don't come in here very often - basically just during the playoffs.

[milkyway21]

Where's Kawhi ?

[Nathan89]

Well we definitely built their confidence back up. Better win this.

[ElNono]

it's really about knocking down open shots... danny had like two 3 pointers wide open, and missed them... they're the game busters we were hitting in the 1st half...

[TheGoldStandard]

Kawhi needs touches.. dude was going raw and Pop benches him.. fuck 3 fouls.. play the hot hand

[BatManu20]

Finish strong here fellas

[Beaverfuzz]

This place has gone downhill in the last couple of years, that's why I don't come in here very often - basically just during the playoffs.

tbh, I think you're on to something.

[bklynspursfan]

Missed FT's, poor shooting this half, poor defense. Still holding on to the lead. Definitely don't mind it if they hold on here. Pop can rip em' after a win, which is always nice.

[ElNono]

Playing him doesn't = him playing good.

don't really agree...

[DPG21920]

:lol That FT% :lol

[TE]

The Blazers can't miss

[jiggy_55]

If we only made a few of those free throws this would not be a game.

[DPG21920]

don't really agree...

So when Pop played Beli last series he was playing well?

[Beaverfuzz]

BIG TIME BLOCK BY MAIN MAN BORIS!



hahahahahahaha Gino and Parker

[TE]

Omg. Pathetic.

[DPG21920]

:lmao

[RD2191]

:lmaofukin choke job

[BanditHiro]

wow ginobili is such a faggot. let parker get it you asshole.

[TheGoldStandard]

God.. they want to lose this game

[ElNono]

wow :lol

[smaka]

wow..

[loveforthegame]

Leonard being ignored. :lol

[100%duncan]

WHAT THE FUCK

[Beaverfuzz]

Quit fucking around and sweep the leg Spurs!

[spurspokesman]

LMAO

[mclinejr]

Oh my gosh.

[KaiRMD1]

Well that was benny hill sequence

[313]

Kawhi needs touches.. dude was going raw and Pop benches him.. fuck 3 fouls.. play the hot hand

[Capt Bringdown]

Shades of the OKC series where they almost won game 2

exactly

[BatManu20]

I blame Diaw's terrible pass for that hiccup.

[Malik Hairston]

I mean, we can point to game 1 second half being our bench staying in vs their starters, but you think they are just coasting this half? No issues outside of Manu?

Manu killed momentum, Leonard sat for way too long, tbh..

[RD2191]

Even if we win Portland has a shitload of confidence going into Game 3.

[Beaverfuzz]

TONY!

[spurspokesman]

Timmy

[KaiRMD1]

No, that's not good enough. We can't give them confidence heading into Game 3.

Too late

[Cry Havoc]

Tony!!! 2-0 here we come!!!!

[Raven]

damn what a swat by diaw was that

[Beaverfuzz]

Even if we win Portland has a shitload of confidence going into Game 3.

Actually, they don't.

[DPG21920]

Tony helping out on the glass, then scoring!

[100%duncan]

Parker finally.

[bklynspursfan]

Splitter should defend Durant if we play OKC... lol

[TE]

Fucking hell. Block out that fucking hippie ogre Lopez.

[ElNono]

good shit Tony

[Beaverfuzz]

Push off, easy call. Nice job Gino!

[ElNono]

nice flop :lol
