'14 - '15 Game 1: Spurs vs Mavs: Tuesday, Oct 28 7:00PM

[Fireball]

Manu looks better than in preseason ... hopes he makes a three as well tonight just to feel better

[weeks]

Better first q than I anticipated. Let's tighten shit up for the next twelve minutes, close the half strong

[Captivus]

I just wanna watch Anderson

[Kyle Orton]

Y'all are fuckin garbage imo

[Nathan89]

Still don't understand why we didn't throw some MLE money at somebody like Jameer. Anybody is better than Cory.

Because we expect Mills to comeback and that would be a bad usage of the MLE.

[twincam]

That is fine HUGE ASS Spur at center court

[Johnny RIngo]

Wow. Awful D there by CoJo. Just horrendous.

And that's supposed to be his best NBA skill.

[Fireball]

you can see that Dallas also developed a good culture for players ... when did Nelson look this good the last time?

[benstanfield]

1Q thoughts:

Dirk absolutely cannot guard Boris Diaw. This is a hugely exploitable match up.

Cojo on ball defense is meh

Tyson Chandler tip backs are super aggravating

I don't think Parsons is a game changing player. Certainly not a 15m player

Tim looks tentative on offense, Chandler is still a pretty good defender

If Chandler goes out for an extended period this Mavs team is fucked

Baynes > Ayres

[Blizzardwizard]

Welp, it was a good run/good season and all that good sheet.

[RD2191]

Hating on CoJo. Lol.

[Nathan89]

I just wanna watch Anderson

Agreed. Beli needs to get in foul trouble.

[ElNono]

Jim Carrey looks old

[Beaverfuzz]

Gotta close out a little bit on that one Baynes.

[RD2191]

Come on cojo. Fuck.

[Beaverfuzz]

EAT IT DIRK! keep fouling Baynes, haha

[timtonymanu]

Is Harris still making his bullshit shots that he made in the playoffs?

[Beaverfuzz]

Baynes is running lines after the games for that one too.

[TE]

Is Harris still making his bullshit shots that he made in the playoffs?
Yeah

[Nathan89]

Baynes setting up down low. Nice.

[BillMc]

THought Cojo was a good defender..

[Baam]

Boris put Dirk on his ass twice already...

[loveforthegame]

Dirk keeps falling. :lol

[TE]

Okay that's a foul lol.

[Beaverfuzz]

Jake Clam Chowder at the line.

[Johnny RIngo]

Because we expect Mills to comeback

Patty won't be back for a while. We're going to have to live with Joseph's shittyness for a couple months.


and that would be a bad usage of the MLE.

We didn't even use the MLE this year.

[Blizzardwizard]

Damn, scrubs going in hard on the Spurs already.

[RD2191]

Mavs scrubs still hitting fluky shit.

[Beaverfuzz]

VERDE bails out CoJo.

[Uriel]

:rolleyes

[Beaverfuzz]

CHARGE! Eat it Mavs.

[BatManu20]

Baynes playing well

[Beaverfuzz]

MANU!

[Baam]

Depressing that we get so much Beli... Who is inactive?

[Beaverfuzz]

Harris is building a house, one brick at a time.

[milkyway21]

I missed it. Can anybody post the video of the ring ceremony? :(
Thanks !

[Raven]

everybody blowing past that pos smh

[Mugen]

Danny and Beli both look real solid so far.

[BatManu20]

We're not playing very well and still up by 1. So that's a little reassuring.

[spursparker9]

Depressing that we get so much Beli... Who is inactive?

Probably Patty and Kawhi/Tiago

[r0drig0lac]

Harris is building a house, one brick at a time.

lol

[Uriel]

Random thought: :pop: is actually wearing a full suit and tie, complete with vest. This is the most formally I've ever seen him dress for a basketball game.

[spursparker9]

Beli is quite steady in the first game already.

[Baam]

Probably Patty and Kawhi/Tiago

Oh yeah forgot that there was so many players injured...

[Darius Bieber]

Nice gesture by Chandler.

[RD2191]

Come on.

[spursparker9]

lol RJ is in

[TE]

Do these fuckers miss?

[Raven]

belilol

[RD2191]

Green getting torched on D.

[timtonymanu]

RJ still getting boos :lol

[BanditHiro]

lol RJ hitting shots this game is over. We can't win without our MVP Kawhi

[Beaverfuzz]

TP AND1

[BatManu20]

Suck it RJ

[ElNono]

hero and1

[Uriel]

Fuck you, RJ. We taught you how to shoot those corner 3's.

[spursparker9]

lol take that RJ

[BatManu20]

Mavs entire team can shoot the J apparently

[RD2191]

Bullshit. Fucks don't miss.

[Mugen]

Baynes' D needs a lot of work.

TP's in for a big season i think tbh.....

[Uriel]

I can't believe the Mavs. They keep draining jump shot after jump shot with a hand in their face.

[TE]

Terrible call.

[TE]

Lofl

[BatManu20]

Chandler is destroying Timmy on the glass so far

[Holden_Caulfield]

chandler killing us

[Beaverfuzz]

hahahaha, nice layup Ellis.

[Beaverfuzz]

TONY!

[spursparker9]

Mavs look Legit. Could be top 4 seeds

[TE]

We can't knock down open shots yet Dallas is making a high volume amount of perimeter shots. How it goes I guess.

[Raven]

kinda annoying to have both green and ellis in your fantasy team

[timtonymanu]

Chandler is destroying Timmy on the glass so far

Not surprising with Splitter out. BoBo and Bonner aren't much help inside.

[Mugen]

Happy to see Tyson back with the Mavs...

:lol Pop guarding RJ with Bonner,the ultimate slap in the face tbh....

[benstanfield]

:lol putting Bonner on RJ is straight up disrespectful

[Blizzardwizard]

Season over.

[boutons_deux]

Mavs +11 FGA???

[timtonymanu]

Happy to see Tyson back with the Mavs...

:lol Pop guarding RJ with Bonner,the ultimate slap in the face tbh....

Sup my nig.

Did you hear the boos for RJ when he made a 3? :lol

[dabom]

:lol putting Bonner on RJ is straight up disrespectful

[Darius Bieber]

Mavs +11 FGA???

Offensive boards.

[Mugen]

Sup my nig.

Did you hear the boos for RJ when he made a 3? :lol

Sup homie.

I'm booing that POS from my house tbh...never forget......

[Beaverfuzz]

Too much passing, sometimes the open shot is the best one.

[BatManu20]

Somebody shoot the damn ball

[Mugen]

Shoot the 3 TP

[ace3g]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B1Ez_G5CYAAFh55.jpg:large

[RD2191]

Lmao @ all the bullshit shots.

[Holden_Caulfield]

put in kyle anderson! just for giggles

[Mugen]

Bobo needs to go to work on Parsons tbh

[Darius Bieber]

Dallas ready to blow this game wide open tbh

[Beaverfuzz]

Big block by Dallas there, gotta clean it up and play more focused.

[Baam]

Carlisle comforting his position as best coach in the league tbh...

[weeks]

Duncan is not looking sharp

[z0sa]

Mavs are gonna be top 4 in the conference this year

[ElNono]

stop passing under the basket Bobo

[Beaverfuzz]

TIMMUH!

[spurraider21]

does TD always fall on that move across the lane?

[Uriel]

:cry I miss Kawhi / Tiago / Patty :cry

[Beaverfuzz]

Tony got decked there.

[TE]

Wow can't do nothing about that. The Mavs are just hitting shots.

[Mugen]

Skinniest Timmy has ever been.

[Captivus]

Tank for Okafor!

[Beaverfuzz]

GET SOME COLD CUTS TODAY! WOOOOOOOO!!!!

[Blizzardwizard]

BS Monta Ellis shots, how I've missed thee.

[TheGreatYacht]

Typical Cory Joseph...

0,0,0,0,0-0,0-0,0-0

a fucking ghost and below average defense

[Uriel]

Nothing more frustrating than watching your team miss open shot after open shot while the opponent keeps making pull up jumpers off the dribble with a hand in their face. :pctoss

[BillMc]

Skinniest Timmy has ever been.

Yep.

[Fireball]

Spurs will always struggle when teams convert their 2 point shots outside the paint ... Ellis and Harris just do that well today

[benstanfield]

Felton was a good pickup for Dallas, I didn't realize he was a better shooter than prime Ray Allen tbh

[Holden_Caulfield]

wwe is still going on? the fuck

[DarrinS]

Lol @ game 1 meltdowns

[Uriel]

527262030282366976

:lol

[Beaverfuzz]

Ellis is a killer matchup.

[Beaverfuzz]

COJO
4
33333333333333

[Holden_Caulfield]

yeeee cojoooooooooooo

[BatManu20]

Leaving shooters wide open

[SupremeGuy]

lol ellis what a faggot

[Beaverfuzz]

can't leave Ellis open, remember the first round?

[RD2191]

Can someone put that faggot Ellis on his back? Shit.

[TE]

Does Ellis fucking miss? Lmao holy shit man.

[ElNono]

bad foul

[BatManu20]

Ellis is just picking up where he left off. He killed us last year too.

[TE]

Fuck oboards are killing us

[ElNono]

rebounds

[RD2191]

Spurs better win this shit.

[BatManu20]

Well let's hope that's the worst half we play for a while

[timtonymanu]

Surprised we aren't down more, tbh. But the Mavs have another half to throw up fluky shots so it could get uglier soon.

[Beaverfuzz]

Why are they doing opening weekend from NYC? Head to SA or LA at least. Stupid.

[Blizzardwizard]

Dallas going San Jose on these Spurs. Destroying all in sight.

[benstanfield]

Tim looks terrible tbh

[Raven]

tnt not even subtle anymore, calling belinelli a favourable matchup :lol

[crc21209]

527262030282366976

:lol

Nelson isnt really a Spurs killer. He was in the East all this time...

[spurraider21]

that should've been a 2 for 1 at the end... stupid enrique

[spurspokesman]

Ellis killing us

[BillMc]

Parsons ain't looking worth the money for Dallas.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Some missed shots but definitely way too many turnovers.

Can't really do too much about the rebounds and defense, since Kawhi + Splitter are both out and they're our 2nd and 3rd best rebounders, as well as top 4 defenders on the team.

[TheGreatYacht]

Idk who looked worse... Manu, Duncan, or Diaw

[Fireball]

all in all we are just missing Kawhi, Tiago and Patty ...

[hater]

The bad news. That was the worst half of the season.the good news. Its only halftime of the first game of the season :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Idk who looked worse... Manu, Duncan, or Diaw
Jk of course it's Manu

[Beaverfuzz]

Idk who looked worse... Manu, Duncan, or Diaw


Diaw, Duncan, and Manu in that order of suckiness.

[DarrinS]

all in all we are just missing Kawhi, Tiago and Patty ...

[Nathan89]

Parsons ain't looking worth the money for Dallas.

They need talent now with Dirk. He's worth the money.

[TE]

The team looks disinterested and dare I say old. We desperately need Kawhi, Tiago and Patty back tbh.

[Baam]

Idk who looked worse... Manu, Duncan, or Diaw

Duncan imo, not sure he scored once on Chandler.

[timtonymanu]

Nelson isnt really a Spurs killer. He was in the East all this time...

I remember he would always have good games against the Spurs though.

[RD2191]

I thought manu looked ok tbh.

[Baam]

Jk of course it's Manu

Manu shying away from the 3 is pretty funny tbh... Pump fake every time but he still did his thing...

[boutons_deux]

Spurs over-passing, mostly uselessly. Mavs have +9 FGA.

[DubMcDub]

Felton was a good pickup for Dallas, I didn't realize he was a better shooter than prime Ray Allen tbh

Felton's not playing, but yeah, totally.

[BatManu20]

Spurs over-passing, mostly uselessly. Mavs have +9 FGA.

They got more second chance opportunities too. Chandler killing us on the boards.

[Malik Hairston]

Missed the first half..it's so tough to get interested in these meaningless games after winning the championship, tbh:lol..

[Robz4000]

Manu looked fine, TC always gives Duncan trouble, not sure about Diaw's excuse...

[ElNono]

good 1st half... rust and everything... just need to help TD rebound the ball

[TheGreatYacht]

I pray Barkley trips and chokes on a dick

[boutons_deux]

They got more second chance opportunities too. Chandler killing us on the boards.

Mavs +1 ORB

[BillMc]

Guess Anderson won't make his NBA debut tonight.

[TheGreatYacht]

good 1st half... rust and everything... just need to help TD rebound the ball
He has 9 Rebs. He has Matt Bonner next to him

[RD2191]

What is Charles saying

[ElNono]

He has 9 Rebs. He has Matt Bonner next to him

sure... but guards, bobo, they gotta help too...

[Uriel]

I pray Barkley trips and chokes on a dick
What did he say?

[Uriel]

527150970913165312

[slick'81]

Without tiago and Leonard their length is bothering the spurs out there

[spurraider21]

Marco is +1, everyone else is -

:lol +/-

[ElNono]

we're shooting about the same %.... they just have taken 9 more shots.... gotta take care of the ball, rebound...

[Mugen]

Good to see that many of you haven't been deported tbh.

[RD2191]

Good to see that many of you haven't been deported tbh.
:wakeup

[ElNono]

Good to see that many of you haven't been deported tbh.

some have, tbh... they just came back

[EVAY]

Good to see that many of you haven't been deported tbh.

:lol

[weeks]

Man it's weird watching this after the finals... Like we're two different teams

[ElNono]

wonder when Pop will pull the white flag and get Ayres in there...

[Capster]

Good to see that many of you haven't been deported tbh.

Good to see you Mugen! Yup, still here! How have you been???

[Fireball]

we're shooting about the same %.... they just have taken 9 more shots.... gotta take care of the ball, rebound...

and Dallas is making the ineffective long two point shot which is as annoying as its was in the playoffs

[EVAY]

Lessons from the first half:


1. We really miss Tiago and Leonard and Patty.





2. We really miss Tiago and Leonard and Patty.





3. We really miss Tiago and Leonard and Patty

[Raven]

Guess Anderson won't make his NBA debut tonight.

last 30 sec

[ElNono]

fully expect a bump of the "why can't we beat good teams" thread from last season if we lose this

[EVAY]

Anybody note that Splitter is now not playing because of a BACK injury as well as his calf? Not good news for us unless we can get Tyson Chandler to foul out in the third quarter.

[BillMc]

last 30 sec

Maybe! :)

[Darius Bieber]

last 30 sec

More like all of the 4th quarter, Dallas gonna blow this shit wide open.

[Mugen]

Also, pretty excited to see who takes over as Spurstalk's faggiest poster for the season after rascal's suicide mid-June tbh.

[Uriel]

:lol @ people blanket dismissing my "Should we be concerned about the Spurs' lackluster preseason?" thread

[RD2191]

fully expect a bump of the "why can't we beat good teams" thread from last season if we lose this
U bumping gutless worms?

[timtonymanu]

fully expect a bump of the "why can't we beat good teams" thread from last season if we lose this

The gutless worms thread is another good candidate.

[ElNono]

U bumping gutless worms?

it's your time to shine, rob

[Mugen]

Good to see you Mugen! Yup, still here! How have you been???

Cap, you minx you. Good to see you back tbh...

[TheGreatYacht]

I knew Splitter was soft but damn man up and get out there already.

[ElNono]

Anybody note that Splitter is now not playing because of a BACK injury as well as his calf? Not good news for us unless we can get Tyson Chandler to foul out in the third quarter.

Probably Pop BS to give him rest after his long summer

[RD2191]

it's your time to shine, rob
:lol

[EVAY]

U bumping gutless worms?

how you doin' rob? First game exit?

[100%duncan]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B1EnqjfCUAAk44Z.jpg:large

woooooooo

[timtonymanu]

:lol @ people blanket dismissing my "Should we be concerned about the Spurs' lackluster preseason?" thread

Because it's stupid as hell to be assuming anything when 3 key players are out.

:lol regular season meltdowns.

You shits never change.

[BillMc]

Lessons from the first half:


1. We really miss Tiago and Leonard and Patty.





2. We really miss Tiago and Leonard and Patty.





3. We really miss Tiago and Leonard and Patty

Leonard's agent happy right now.

[ElNono]

lol rebounds

[spursparker9]

lol empty seats again

[TheGreatYacht]

Typical SA :lmao

80% of the crowd is at the Whataburger line in the beginning of the 3rd

[Uriel]

Because it's stupid as hell to be assuming anything when 3 key players are out.

:lol regular season meltdowns.

You shits never change.
Their poor health was one of the primary points I made when I started that thread in the first place. You're making my case for me.

[BanditHiro]

Tyson is going to burn himself out by mid season

[Baam]

Chandler is shutting down Timmy tbh... Stop going to the low post...

[Raven]

beli :lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

[weeks]

If we lose I blame pop's beard tbh

[ElNono]

good timeout by Rick

[boutons_deux]

Tim with 1-3 FGs

[Baam]

Wasn't Tim supposed to work on rediscovering his jumper?

[Mugen]

Dirk hasn't even gone off yet tbh.

[benstanfield]

Kawhi has an "eye infection"


sitting on the bench

[TheGreatYacht]

Chandler is shutting down Timmy tbh... Stop going to the low post...

[BatManu20]

Dirk hasn't even gone off yet tbh.

Pretty much this.

[Blizzardwizard]

I love that Stephen A. Smith ad :lol

[slick'81]

Obviously Dallas is improved with parsons and chandler but this spur teams is going to struggle without kawahi and splitter up front

[ElNono]

Doc cleared Kawhi to play Monday... but Pop thinks he needs more conditioning

[Fireball]

Kawhi has a calf problem as well? thats Splitter isnt it?

[timtonymanu]

Their poor health was one of the primary points I made when I started that thread in the first place. You're making my case for me.

The Spurs always have issues with injuries every year. It's still a stupid thread to make. Wake me up if this is April, tbh.

[DarkGinobili]

green 3

[Holden_Caulfield]

wooooo nice run here

[007nites]

Timmy has been a beast on the boards

[RD2191]

So frustrating without a young athletic/versatile player like Kawhi out there.

[spurraider21]

:lmao bid daddy tyson

[weeks]

Chandler getting fucked by the refs lol

[ElNono]

BS call on big daddy

[Juggity]

Dirk hasn't even gone off yet tbh.

He never really went off in the playoffs last year either. I kept expecting it, but I'm glad he didn't.

[007nites]

Chandler is shutting down Timmy tbh... Stop going to the low post...

Really? Timmy has only taken 3 shots.

[Holden_Caulfield]

timmy with the flop :lol

[Mugen]

:lol timmy selling the shit outta that call

[Holden_Caulfield]

parker is ridicccc

[Mugen]

HEROOOOOOOOOOBALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[RD2191]

Evay my dude I've been good. How you doing?

[TheGreatYacht]

Chandler shutting down Duncan,

Or Duncan shutting down Chandler?

[benstanfield]

ooooh!

[Raven]

:lol nelson starting over harris

[spursparker9]

lol when the hell did Chandler accumulate to 4 fouls already?

[timtonymanu]

Evay my dude I've been good. How you doing?

My nigga robdiaz.

[RD2191]

Bout time Tim started getting the star treatment, tbh. Only took him 5 titles to get there.

[ElNono]

http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/242/631/382.gif

Tied game!!!

[Uriel]

Rick Carlisle is the best coach in the NBA when it comes to calling timeouts at the right time. :tu

[Nathan89]

They didn't show any good replays on the foul for me to say anything definitively.

[RD2191]

My nigga robdiaz.
:bobo:lol

[urunobili]

MVParker tbh

[ElNono]

Champs doing champs things

[Captivus]

remember Parsons dunk...well...that was it for him for now.

[RD2191]

Dwert lol

[Russ]

Manu has a very aggressive case of baldness.

Not benign, but metastatic.

[TheGreatYacht]

I don't see anyone dethroning Parker in the MVP race tbh

[Nathan89]

:lol nelson starting over harris

His shooting is more important in the starting lineup, while Harris athleticism is more important on the bench.

[RD2191]

CoJo better not mess shit up.

[BillMc]

Champs doing champs things

[Raven]

the one positive from this game is that it seems DG finally has the green light to shoot from all over the place

[Chomag]

Why does pop Still continue to baby KL like he is a 35+ year old vet at the end of his career? If hes healthy get him in there!

[benstanfield]

Dallas is really gonna miss Marion tbh. Parsons at the 4 isn't sustainable defensively, and Aminu can't shoot or dribble

[ElNono]

CoJo better not mess shit up.

:lol

[RD2191]

Come on Marco

[Baam]

Beli with bad plays on both ends...

[RD2191]

Duncan Ginobili.

[benstanfield]

Blake Duncan :lol
