AT&T Center
San Antonio TX

[BillMc]

No Marco or Tiago, but I predict another narrow win. 97-96

[r0drig0lac]

GO SPURS

[Kawhi]

Spurs by 50

[mkurts]

Baynes on Davis, then hopefully Duncan will have a monster game

[benefactor]

Baynes to start tonight? Seems like it would make sense...unless Pop wants to try to guard Davis with Diaw and hide Duncan on Asik.

[benstanfield]

Baynes on Davis is a recipe for disaster. He'll foul out in the first quarter.

[benstanfield]

I'll be at the game tho so Spurs better take this shit :ihit

[hyhy]

hope we win this so we get back into the playoffs if the season ends today

[mkurts]

Baynes on Davis is a recipe for disaster. He'll foul out in the first quarter.

Or Pop might go with Bonner on Davis

[SpursFan86]

Is Tiago already officially ruled out or are we just assuming he won't play?

[benstanfield]

It will be crazy when the face of the league has bug-eyes, a unibrow, and Predator ass teeth

[benstanfield]

Or Pop might go with Bonner on Davis

tbh even if Tiago is our best option we really have nobody equipped to guard him. You just close out hard on Pick-n-pop, try not t o let him get lobs or backdoor cuts, and pray. Pelicans aren't a great match-up for us imo

[benefactor]

Is Tiago already officially ruled out or are we just assuming he won't play?
He's out.

[cd021]

Or Pop might go with Bonner on Davis
Bonner on Osik and Duncan on Davis

[Mikeanaro]

:flag: Very winnable game.

[Darius Bieber]

Either a narrow win or a blow out loss tbh

[BatManu20]

Kyle Anderson drop 8 and 5 tonight. Spurs win by 7.

[Cry Havoc]

I'm out tonight, anyone who wants to do game grades is more than welcome.

[Texas_Ranger]

Davis gonna get 30 but Spurs still win.

[TE]

Not even looking forward to this game. I will catch it on from halftime to the end

[look_at_g_shred]

Injury free please!!

[Malik Hairston]

Ayres actually defended Davis really well last year IIRC, it was probably his most impressive game last season IMO..they will probably try it again tonight..

Tim struggles against Asik, so expect the Spurs to lose the frontcourt battle, especially with Splitter out..

Pelicans backcourt is terrible, especially with Holiday still recovering from his injury, so this game needs to be won by TP/Manu/Kawhi/Green..it would be nice if DG, Kawhi and TP actually show up tonight, tbh..

[Robz4000]

Tyreke Evans and Gordan bout to go for 50?

[beirmeistr]

Unlike some Spurs that were lackadaisical last game, you know Ginobili will compete.

[RD2191]

Got a mean stomach bug. Go Spurs Go!

Got a mean stomach bug. Go Spurs Go!

Only one cure for a mean stomach bug....a 20 point spurs victory.

Hope you/we get it tbh...

[ace3g]

[Robz4000]

Bad feeling about this one unfortunately...

[ace3g]

Green!!!

[RD2191]

Green

[r0drig0lac]

GREEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNN

[Silver&Black]

Damn good defense by Bobo....but better offense from Davis.

[loveforthegame]

Leaving Green wide open like that. :lol

[DapDaGenius]

LOL Parker...c'mon.

[RD2191]

Come on guys.

[manufan10]

Back to back turnovers. SMH

[DapDaGenius]

Green got blocked, but didn't give up!

[RD2191]

Green carrying the team per usual.

[manufan10]

So glad that Green has really worked on his layups.

[Robz4000]

Team looks terrible outside Green...

[Silver&Black]

God I hate having my League Pass blacked out.

Got to listen to these Pelicans announcers all game now.....smh.

[milkyway21]

Woah the Spurs jersey....
:rollin


Danny Green fires again bammm!!!

[RD2191]

Geez

[Arcadian]

God I hate having my League Pass blacked out.

Got to listen to these Pelicans announcers all game now.....smh.

Where do you live? I've got the Bill Land/Sean Elliott commentary on NBA TV (in Dallas)

[beirmeistr]

God I hate having my League Pass blacked out.

They are showing it on Dish, ch 454

[spursparker9]

lol the commentators.

is this nbatv or pelican network

[RD2191]

Also on fssw

[manufan10]

Tony in Enrique mode.

[ElNono]

hopefully Gino feels like leading the team to a W...

[ace3g]

run all plays for Green tonight

[RD2191]

Green on fire

[DapDaGenius]

Green is fearless tonight. Must have got some brain before the game.

[r0drig0lac]

haha

[Robz4000]

Green keeping the Spurs in it

[manufan10]

Gr33n!

[DapDaGenius]

Parker again...*sigh*

[RD2191]

These fucking turnovers.

[loveforthegame]

Turnovers. :td

[r0drig0lac]

damn parker

[RD2191]

Settle down tp

[01Snake]

Green is beasting

[DapDaGenius]

Butterfingers Parker. Got damn...

[spursparker9]

lol Doc river son

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker is atrocious this year.

[beirmeistr]

Pop, please take out Parker, too many mistakes

[#2!]

Damn Tony get your shit together

[Silver&Black]

Where do you live? I've got the Bill Land/Sean Elliott commentary on NBA TV (in Dallas)

Mississippi....

All Memphis, Atlanta, and New Orleans games are considered local here (I know...it's beyond retarded). So every time the Spurs play any of these three teams....I am forced to watch the local broadcast. What really pisses me off is when they bring on a hockey game instead...and I can't watch the Spurs game at all. Even though I have league pass. In that case it's Bill at WOAI 1200....

[RD2191]

Cojo getting hosed

[hyhy]

we cant get a stop

[ElNono]

Cojo needs to foul out quickly... as terrible as TP has played so far, I still rather have him out there

[milkyway21]

With the right coach ang players around him Davis might win a championship trophy ahead of Durant
He is really good

[spursparker9]

When is the last time Spurs went below .500?

2003-2004 ?

[Silver&Black]

Nice re-post Timmy....

Need some more fouls on AD.

[beirmeistr]

Wow, that sucks ass. If they aren't showing the game locally, how can they black it out from LP?

Edit: Then again, they black out all games that are on NBA TV (which is also stupid)...

[ElNono]

30 pt quarters :td

[timtonymanu]

Would be nice if scrubs like Holiday could stop making shots.

[ElNono]

Wow, that sucks ass. If they aren't showing the game locally, how can they black it out from LP?

Game is on NBATV not League Pass

[TE]

TD needs to be fed in one on one situations with Davis. Get him in foul trouble.

[milkyway21]

8 turnovers in the 1st Qtr :(

[Johnny RIngo]

8 turnovers in the 1st Qtr :(

Half of them from TP

[hyhy]

8 turnovers in 1 quarter :bang

[Baam]

Cojo sucking... TP turning it over like crazy...

[Robz4000]

Spurs are really missing Splitter tbh. If he misses significant time the Spurs are in deep shit.

[ElNono]

manuuuuuuuu

[Ice009]

With the right coach ang players around him Davis might win a championship trophy ahead of Durant
He is really good

It's all about crunch time. What's Davis like with the game on the line? Does he have any low post moves or go to moves he can use when the game is on the line to get easy buckets?

[beirmeistr]

GINOBILI!

[Budkin]

Averaging 18 turnovers. That shit just has to stop.

[timtonymanu]

Ajinca now. come on.

[Silver&Black]

Do you have Dish?

Nope...Comcast. My League Pass channels and NBA TV channels are blacked out. My cable provider forces me to watch the Pelicans broadcast....

[Silver&Black]

Ginobili 4 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RD2191]

Kawhi having a rough start to the season.

[r0drig0lac]

Manu to the rescue

[ElNono]

hopefully Gino feels like leading the team to a W...

[Johnny RIngo]

Cojo sucking... TP turning it over like crazy...

PG rotation sucks right now. TOSB Parker and D-League Cojo ain't gonna cut it.

[timtonymanu]

Fredette too. Lol bullshit.

[TE]

:lmao Fluke shots tbh

[RD2191]

Fluke

[ElNono]

come on son, stop with the BS shots

[DapDaGenius]

Fucking pathetic that we let Jimmer get that, but glad to see we're playing better.

[hyhy]

hopefully Gino feels like leading the team to a W...
:bobo

[Spurs 4 The Win]

The eye infection is still bothering Kawhi?

[milkyway21]

Half of them from TP

Just 2-pt Pelicans advantage...that's ok

[Silver&Black]

C'mon Cojo....gotta hit that shot.

[timtonymanu]

CoJo, such a scrub.

[TE]

Please not that type of night.

[DapDaGenius]

How did he even end up on the ground? LOL

[ElNono]

The eye infection is still bothering Kawhi?

Sean just BS around

[RD2191]

CoJo, such a scrub.
Take it back.

[Godbama]

nice flop moron

[timtonymanu]

Take it back.

Patty would have made that. :toast

[loveforthegame]

Leonard attacking is getting others open looks. Keep it up.

[Robz4000]

Bench Daye, play Anderson

[RD2191]

Patty would have made that. :toast
:wakeup

[Ice009]

Why the fuck is Daye playing? He shouldn't even be on the fucking team.

I'd rather Anderson get some court time and valuable experience out there than waste time with Daye.

[NASpurs]

I've been impressed by Daye's defense on Anderson.

[Silver&Black]

Patty would have made that. :toast

[timtonymanu]

Just need Salmons to hit a BS shot.

[DapDaGenius]

Hope Baynes can have a decent game.

[ElNono]

Cojo is making Austin Rivers looks like a player... smh

[RD2191]

Dude, really. Rivers hitting all sorts of bullshit.

[TE]

Goddamn CoJo

[beirmeistr]

I've been impressed by Daye's defense on Anderson.

Good one

[Robz4000]

It always seems Austin Rivers goes off on the Spurs.

[timtonymanu]

Holy fuck, these guys can't miss.

[Ice009]

What a jokesph.

[r0drig0lac]

fluke fluke fluke

[DapDaGenius]

Haha, just predictable at this point.

[TE]

Daye is such a scrub

[timtonymanu]

Terrible screen by Daye

[NASpurs]

Good one

?

He pulled the chair once, blocked his shot and has been all up on him. Good one what?

[FlAVaK]

When is the last time Spurs went below .500?

[ElNono]

fucking daye... wide open

[RD2191]

Is Daye the new Bonner? Tbh.

[TE]

Jesus fuck Daye you are wide open dude

[Robz4000]

Spurs have way too many dead weights on the team this year.

[Godbama]

Is Daye the new Bonner? Tbh.
I'd rather have Bonner taking that shot. :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Daye is terrible

[Obi Juan Kenobi]

Nice one Daye...

[TE]

I'd rather have Bonner taking that shot. :lol
Bonner would make that shot tbh

[DapDaGenius]

Good shit, Banger.

Tired of Daye...mofo is shooting 20%

[timtonymanu]

Spurs have way too many dead weights on the team this year.

It's the same as last year, actually. The Spurs are just missing Splitter, Patty, and Marco.

[manufan10]

The bad thing is Daye keeps calling for the ball too, and then misses it. :bang

[RD2191]

Let's not blame Cojo. Not like the starters were playing any better.

[Ice009]

So Anderson missed a few shots last game, he's still a better player than Daye.

[DapDaGenius]

Great effort by Kawhi.

[timtonymanu]

Green and his falling for pump fakes. :lol

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs have way too many dead weights on the team this year.

That's what happens when you decide not to use the MLE and instead try to develop D-League quality players.

[Silver&Black]

Pop is going to chew Green's ass out again for over running that 3 point attempt.

[gnsf0946]

:lmao:lmao:lmao big banger

[beirmeistr]

?

He pulled the chair once, blocked his shot and has been all up on him. Good one what?
Sorry, thought you meant our Anderson

[TE]

This team has to be near the bottom in free throw shooting

[RD2191]

Come on timmy

[timtonymanu]

Diaw has been awful so far.

[TE]

Wow Boris what a stupid pass

[Silver&Black]

FUCKING TURNOVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ElNono]

ugh enrique, pass the ball

[Robz4000]

:lmao Spurs

[NASpurs]

Remember when the Spurs used to share the ball? :lol

[Robz4000]

This team has to be near the bottom in free throw shooting

They're near the bottom in a lot of things right now tbh.

[Silver&Black]

Remember when the Spurs used to share the ball? :lol

I know....we look like 5 kirbys out there.

[01Snake]

Need more c̶o̶w̶b̶e̶l̶l̶ ...turnovers.

[Ice009]

I'd much rather the Spurs 2005 grind it out team's play than this horrid display of soft turnover Basketball the Spurs have played so far this season.

[ElNono]

heroball working now... :tu

[milkyway21]

TP !!

[Ice009]

Can anyone with a high quality feed tell me what shoes Tim is wearing?

[manufan10]

heroball working now... :tu

Tony can be your hero!

[timtonymanu]

Tim has fallen so many times. Scaring me.

[Robz4000]

:lmao that defense

[r0drig0lac]

tony in superstar mode

[timtonymanu]

Of course. Fucking bullshit.

But we aren't in bad position considering we are getting nothing outside of Parker, Manu, Leonard and Green

[ElNono]

can't complain after 11 turnovers, tbh

[spursparker9]

lol Manu defense on that last possession

[Silver&Black]

Only down by two....could and should be a lot worse.

[NASpurs]

Hey look, someone scored on the Spurs at the last second per par

[DapDaGenius]

I knew he was going to make that. So predictable. :lol

[jeebus]

lol the bench. 9 by Manu and 4 by Baynes...and that's it :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Where's that one faggot? Lefty :lmao

[Robz4000]

Pelicans beating the Spurs at their own game.

[KL2]

Green and his falling for pump fakes. :lol

I think he does it on purpose, it almost always winds up with the 3pt shooter running towards the basket (even though they could easily reset for a 3pt shot), where they've got to challenge TD/Splitter.

[hyhy]

Anyone remembers who played for the 2nd half of the 2nd quarter other than tony parker and tim duncan?

[TheGreatYacht]

Best players in the first half:

Tony
Parker
Our Hero
TP9
Enrique
Erin Barry's bf
#9
...
...
...
Dog shit
Daye

[KL2]

I wonder what it's like to be old as fuck

Who else got touches?

Why did we move the ball when ayres, daye were in the game, but went to enrique-ball when green/manu/leonard/diaw were in the game?

[Juggity]

so what is daye actually supposed to be good at? He's a bad shooter, bad defender, can't set screens. Not sure what the plan is. He's certainly not getting any better as time goes on.

[jeebus]

hush. he made all those 3s against Philly last year.

[KL2]

Hopkins fight will start soon, that's gonna be good.

[Malik Hairston]

Nice to see Tony playing well, it's expected against this team, as I said earlier..

And as expected, Tim struggling against Asik, as usual:lol..

[TheGreatYacht]

Hopkins fight will start soon, that's gonna be good.
Can't wait to see a hug fest :tu

[mkurts]

Daye with the goods

[TheGreatYacht]

Why did we move the ball when ayres, daye were in the game, but went to enrique-ball when green/manu/leonard/diaw were in the game?
Because Manu is washed, Kawhi is rusty, Diaw can't hit the ocean, and Green was locked down after the 1st Q

[RD2191]

[Johnny RIngo]

Injuries is the only reason he's seeing playing time. Probably won't see much of him(or Ayres) once Tiago, Belinelli, and Mills are all healthy.

[timtonymanu]

so what is daye actually supposed to be good at? He's a bad shooter, bad defender, can't set screens. Not sure what the plan is. He's certainly not getting any better as time goes on.

It would be nice if he's waived soon. The team is in need of a 3rd PG they could use until Patty comes back.

[timtonymanu]

Holiday again smh

[beirmeistr]

Tony needs to move the ball, dont let it stick

[ElNono]

Tony wake the fuck up, Holiday is eating your lunch

[spursparker9]

Those chicken nuggets on the basketball stand...

[ElNono]

we move the ball, we score

[loveforthegame]

Post Leonard up. Nice.

[Malik Hairston]

Tony had Green and Leonard wide open for 3 on that possession..smh..

[hyhy]

OMG DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT? POP CALLED A PLAY FOR LEONARD

[Obi Juan Kenobi]

Nice move Tony!!!

[r0drig0lac]

Davis who?

[Ice009]

watching this style of play from Tony is very irritating. Same way it makes me feel watching Kobe play.

[TE]

Collison is such a fucking scrub tbh.

[Brazil]

Parker keeping us afloat

[spursparker9]

2nd time Timmy had his rebounds taken away.

[r0drig0lac]

Spurs play without any intensity

[FaM0us Skins]

Yes Asik missed FT.

[timtonymanu]

Collison is such a fucking scrub tbh.

You mean Holiday? :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Here's some advice... Never post up Duncan vs Asik

[r0drig0lac]

great

[beirmeistr]

I really thought Pop would continue the style of play they used in the 2014 Finals

[hyhy]

we cant get a lead..

[timtonymanu]

That had to be a 3.

[FlAVaK]

Collison is such a fucking scrub tbh.

Who? This isn`t Sacto vs. OKC...

[Malik Hairston]

Why aren't Spurs doubling off Tyreke Evans, tbh?..

[TE]

You mean Holiday? :lol
They both look like back alley crackhead products...hence the confusion. But yeah :lol.

[TheGreatYacht]

I wish Kawhi had infected me with pink eye, Boris Diaw's defense this year is unwatchable.

[Robz4000]

:lol Diaw on Davis

[timtonymanu]

Come on

[DapDaGenius]

lol 3 chances Leonard.

[r0drig0lac]

WTF kawhi

[spursparker9]

:lol FMVP

[Brazil]

Boston Bulls is a fun game fwiw

[KL2]

Leonard is rusty but I like it, these shots will start falling as the season progresses.

[timtonymanu]

Leonard is rusty but I like it, these shots will start falling as the season progresses.

Playoff performer, tbh.

[ElNono]

too much hero, selfish ball... move the rock
