Spurs @ Timberwolves, November 21st @ 8:00 PM CST

[SpursFan86]

edit: Game is at 7:00 PM CST, not 8:00. I fucked up:bang

Belinelli is probable but will have minute restrictions per Pop. Splitter, Mills, and Bonner (stomach virus) are all out again.

Rubio, Thaddeus Young, Kevin Martin, and Pekovic are all out for Minnesota.

No reason this should be a close game with Minnesota missing 4 out of 5 starters. Come out strong and finish the game early so the old guys can be available for tomorrow night's game against Brooklyn.

:flag::flag::flag::flag::flag:

[Robz4000]

Minny by 10. Corey Brewer goes for 100.

[apalisoc_9]

More Kawhi please.....................

[SnakeBoy]

Minny by 10. Corey Brewer goes for 100.

Nah, Anderson will shut him down.

[timtonymanu]

No excuse not to win this even though the Spurs have struggled in Minny lately.

[BatManu20]

INJURY REPORT: Belinelli's status has been upgraded to probable for tonight's matchup in Minnesota. Bonner, Mills and Splitter will not play.

Are you sure it's not 7:00 CST?

[SpursFan86]

Are you sure it's not 7:00 CST?

You're correct...my bad. If a mod can edit the title that'd be nice.

Never been much of a Kevin Martin fan, but damn...

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/11914347/kevin-martin-minnesota-timberwolves-indefinitely-fractured-right-wrist

Needed IV fluids to play the game and then scored 34 points after he broke his wrist.

the journalistic melodramatic "broke his wrist" or "broke his foot" is often nothing but a tiny crack in one bone

[TXstbobcat]

I'm going to the game tonight :flag:

[Texas_Ranger]

They are missing 4 guys out of their starting five. Should be an easy win, but with the Wolves you never know. Just hope Tim and Manu wont have to play 30+ min.

[milkyway21]

I think Rookie forward Andrew Wiggin's 27 min 12.4 ppg, 3 rbds ave. /game is pretty decent..



Let's see what he can do. He scored 20pts vs Anthony Davis' Pelicans & 15 pts vs Howard's Houston.

Although it may not look like it much now, I think Minny got the better part of that Love/Wiggins trade.

[milkyway21]

Although it may not look like it much now, I think Minny got the better part of that Love/Wiggins trade.

Looks like it. And this Kevin Love hinting about his interest of the Lakers is not good news for Cleveland's future.

[Mel_13]

:lol

Sean doing the pregame from his hotel room while wrapped up in a blanket.

[SpursFan86]

This behind the scenes stuff with the HEB commercials :lol

[Mel_13]

This behind the scenes stuff with the HEB commercials :lol

That was hilarious. They apparently shot all 4 commercials in just 5 hours.

[SpursFan86]

I wonder if anyone is going to tune into the game an hour late because of my thread title :rolleyes

[r0drig0lac]

GO SPURS GO

[Dex]

Hopefully Beli found his shot while he was out.

[ElNono]

:flag:

[spursparker9]

Spur killer Mo Williams?

[timtonymanu]

Mo Williams, regular season Spurs killer

[ElNono]

tunnelvision tony... pass the ball

[milkyway21]

Kawhi steal and 2-pt shot opa!!! :lmao

[BatManu20]

Tonyyy

[DesignatedT]

[ElNono]

iso tony getting whatever he wants

[SpursFan86]

Tony looking great early on

[Nathan89]

Tony been reading spurstalk imho

[r0drig0lac]

parker will complete black hole

[Mikeanaro]

Its hero time!

[Hemotivo]

tony is gonna make history tonite

[TheGreatYacht]

Parker dropped 55 or some shit in this arena :lmao

[ElNono]

damn, I wanna see us hitting some 3s early... gotta get out of that funk

[TheGreatYacht]

Was that Ben Affleck?

[ElNono]

there it is bobo

[DesignatedT]

We can get a better shot than that Kawhi.

[BatManu20]

Bobo

[FaM0us Skins]

Diaw!

[BatManu20]

Parker dropped 55 or some shit in this arena :lmao

And 10 assists. Back in '08. :bobo

[manufan10]

Parker for 3!

[timtonymanu]

Even though I criticize Beli a lot, it's good to see him on the floor.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Belli is back!

[ElNono]

don't pass Tony! :lol

[FaM0us Skins]

F Mo Williams...

[timtonymanu]

Fuck Mo. Regular season player.

[FaM0us Skins]

Belinelli!

[ElNono]

THAT dude!

[BatManu20]

Belli in the game :tu

[r0drig0lac]

marco!!

[spursparker9]

Becky!

[DesignatedT]

mama mia

[Robz4000]

Do the T-Pups miss their jumpers tbh? Assumed they were a monkeyball team outside Kmart.

[DesignatedT]

Just nice to have Marco's passing out there.

[ElNono]

Maun giveth, Manu taketh away

[manufan10]

:cry No one wants to pass to Marco :cry

[milkyway21]

Parker for 3! :tu


How many times did Tony sat out against Minny since that night when he scored 51? He might surpass that one :)
With a depleted Spurs team Pop might allow him more minutes tonight. He was shut out vs Cleveland he will be ignited tonight

[BatManu20]

Stay down Baynes

[BanditHiro]

our transition defense has been awful

[manufan10]

The T-Wolves have put in 2 white guys to counter the Spurs' 3 white guys.

[ElNono]

Baynes needs to play more under control... he's been baited into the pump fake quite a bit this season

[timtonymanu]

Lol if Daye sucks against this roster, tbh.

[hyhy]

Go for the rim every play tbh, dun shoot jumpshots.
Wolves not playing any defense anyway

[024]

Manu making some bad decisions

[BanditHiro]

yep the yearly bullshit loss to Wolves is coming

[Robz4000]

:lol Spurs struggling against the T-Pups' skeleton crew

[BatManu20]

Mo freakin Williams. Always against us.

[024]

Why is Daye in the game??

[manufan10]

Man, if Mo made that....

[timtonymanu]

Ugh Daye.

[Nathan89]

Daye doesn't belong in the NBA. Should get AK so I don't have to watch this guy.

[ElNono]

ugh... Daye

[manufan10]

Sloppy first quarter. Spurs should be up by more than that.

[timtonymanu]

Again regular season Mo.

[Mugen]

God I hate Daye

[BatManu20]

:lol this team and their bullshit shooting against us, I swear

[Robz4000]

Time to blow it up? (Y/Y)

[r0drig0lac]

Daye needs to be automatic from the 3-point line, damn useless

[TheGreatYacht]

What's up with everyone torching Joseph nowadays? Thomas, Kyrie, Mo Williams

[TheGreatYacht]

And 10 assists. Back in '08. :bobo
He's the modern day Stockton :tu

[ElNono]

great penetration by manu

[manufan10]

Daye made a shot! Rejoice!

[Mugen]

Great pass from CoJo

[timtonymanu]

Mo freakin Williams. Always against us.

Playoff choker though. He was such a non-factor in the Blazers series :lol

[Robz4000]

Here comes the TPups annual 20-0 run...

[hyhy]

Is this the playoffs? What's with all the timeouts?

[ElNono]

What's up with everyone torching Joseph nowadays? Thomas, Kyrie, Mo Williams

Mo was torching everybody.... he's top 10 "regular season player that chokes in the playoffs", IMO

[FaM0us Skins]

Is this the playoffs? What's with all the timeouts?

:lol

[milkyway21]

Diaw perfect game > 3-3 fg / 1-1 3ptr

MIP :Dg

[TheGreatYacht]

Playoff choker though. He was such a non-factor in the Blazers series :lol
Wasn't he out the whole series?

[TheGreatYacht]

Mo was torching everybody.... he's top 10 "regular season player that chokes in the playoffs", IMO
:lol oh and I forgot Harris and Schroeder torched Cojo :(

[ElNono]

Wasn't he out the whole series?

No, he played the first 2 games, IIRC... but the fact you didn't notice should tell you all you need to know :lol

[BatManu20]

Cojo injured! Smh

[ElNono]

this would be a bad break... we're short on PGs

[Robz4000]

Great

[ElNono]

rolled ankle

[BatManu20]

Please let it be just a rolled ankle

[timtonymanu]

CoJo hurt. Fuck, waive that POS Daye already. We need guards.

[Mugen]

Damn, heard CoJo yell out too. Hopefully, it's just a tweaked ankle.

[SpursFan86]

Last thing we need is CoJo to miss time...

[RD2191]

Whi whi

[FaM0us Skins]

I hope the injury isn't serious.

[ElNono]

MVParker, tbh

[ElNono]

MVParker, tbh

[BatManu20]

Same problem, When Daye is in the game, we get killed on the boards.

*And then Daye blows the defensive assignment and gives up a 3 smh.

**And then the moving screen...

[RD2191]

Come on man

[timtonymanu]

Need more of this Tony.

[ElNono]

bad gamble by kiwi

[timtonymanu]

Seriously, I think Daye is worse than Errors.

[ElNono]

we're hitting 3s this game :tu

[BatManu20]

Danny!

[FaM0us Skins]

Green!!

[manufan10]

:lol at whoever was yelling "Corner! Corner!"

[ElNono]

we're hitting 3s this game :tu

[RD2191]

Green baby

[Mugen]

Danny gettin' hot.

[r0drig0lac]

Green time

[BatManu20]

If Danny starts hitting, this offense becomes lethal again

[timtonymanu]

Good run. We should be destroying these guys.

[Brunodf]

Daye out=Spurs run

[manufan10]

Same problem, When Daye is in the game, we get killed on the boards.

*And then Daye blows the defensive assignment and gives up a 3 smh.

**And then the moving screen...

That was Kawhi's fault. He gambled, and lost.

[SpursFan86]

This is the Spurs team I know. Good shit.

[Mugen]

Man, I hope Cojo is okay. DIdn't see the replay, how did it look?

[GB20]

I think joseph is going to be fine

[mando6599]

Cojo injury report?

[hyhy]

There's the 10th timeout already?

[Mugen]

Tim not having a DPOY is the biggest injustice of this century tbh.

[RD2191]

Cojo injury report?
Pelotasgrandesitis. Should be back in no time.

[r0drig0lac]

haha flop

[BatManu20]

Are these Wolves Commentators retarded, tbh? Calling it a blatant flop :lol

[timtonymanu]

:lol TWolves announcers
:cry That was a flop.

[Brunodf]

That was an offensive foul :lol

[timtonymanu]

Looks like Joseph is on the bench.

[RD2191]

Mvparker

[024]

Parker smells blood

[manufan10]

:wow that block by Duncan.

[BatManu20]

Beautiful basketball right there

[FaM0us Skins]

20 pts for Tony!

[r0drig0lac]

Paker kerr

[manufan10]

Damn you Mo Williams.

[timtonymanu]

lol typical Mo bullshit. Such a scrub.

[manufan10]

CoJo back. :tu

[ElNono]

when did Cory Brewer turn into a douchebag, tbh?

[Mugen]

Danny hits b2b threes and is immediately taken out....

[GB20]

I think joseph is going to be fine

[hyhy]

Another timeout?? How many do they have?

[hyhy]

Danny hits b2b threes and is immediately taken out....

Pop believes in law of averages tbh

[SpursFan86]

CoJo back in the game :tu

[RD2191]

Come on man

[RD2191]

Bullshit

[Mugen]

Diengs had a nice game so far tbh

[timtonymanu]

:cry But he flopped. There should be a fine for that.

[RD2191]

17 point lead down to 10.

[RD2191]

Wow

[timtonymanu]

Stop fucking around

[Mugen]

MVParker.

[Brunodf]

Sloopy game

[BatManu20]

Feels good to be hitting 3's again :tu

[ElNono]

good to see the 3 point back... all you can take from this game, tbh

[Mugen]

Jesus christ, it's gonna take a while to get used to the size of SloMo's head. Nigga looks like a Marvel villain tbh.

[Dex]

Parker is the Spurs best three-point shooter.

Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, tbh.

[r0drig0lac]

parker will drop 50 on these scrubs

[Robz4000]

Fuck the TPups

[Dex]

Jesus christ, it's gonna take a while to get used to the size of SloMo's head. Nigga looks like a Marvel villain tbh.

:lmao

[Mugen]

Props to TP for working on that corner 3. It'll be very helfpul as he gets older and slower tbh.

[BatManu20]

Jesus christ, it's gonna take a while to get used to the size of SloMo's head. Nigga looks like a Marvel villain tbh.

:lol and it looks much bigger when he shaves his head. He needs to go back to having some lettuce on his dome tbh.

[milkyway21]

CoJo back in the game :tu
Good news.

[Mugen]

:lmao

http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0pi5HCuYP_k/0.jpg


:lol and it looks much bigger when he shaves his head. He needs to go back to having some lettuce on his dome tbh.

:lol Really no excuse for him to not have a high BBIQ tbh.

[Mugen]

Spurs are far and away the best team in the league when healthy tbh. Their biggest weaknesses so far have been missed open 3s and their 4th big + DLeaguers getting too many mins that they wouldnt get if Beli/Tiago were healthy.

[SpurPadre]

Leonard has about 30 more games to earn an All Star spot. Will he make it?

[ElNono]

Spurs are far and away the best team in the league when healthy tbh. Their biggest weaknesses so far have been missed open 3s and their 4th big + DLeaguers getting too many mins that they wouldnt get if Beli/Tiago were healthy.

and it's only November...

NBA = fu:lolked

[timtonymanu]

Leonard has about 30 more games to earn an All Star spot. Will he make it?

He could get in due to his reputation (Finals MVP and all). If Parker continues to play like how he is tonight or at least doesn't play like the Tony we've been seeing prior to tonight, then he likely gets the nod.

[Mugen]

:lol Skanky P and Kirby going 0-10 while their teammates shoot 15-18 from tbh

[RD2191]

Green

[milkyway21]

CoJo back in the game :tu
Good news.

[SpurPadre]

He could get in due to his reputation (Finals MVP and all). If Parker continues to play like how he is tonight or at least doesn't play like the Tony we've been seeing prior to tonight, then he likely gets the nod.

If he doesn't, he may need to be Finals MVP again to not lose any leverage during contract talks in the off-season, which is highly attainable.

[Mugen]

TP murdering fools tonight tbh.

[ElNono]

this looks like it's on autopilot.... Daye dont fuck it up

[BatManu20]

That was a flop. But Kawhi needs to pull up for a short J there

[Uriel]

CoJo injured. FUCK. :bang

Oh well. This is KA's time to play PG.

[timtonymanu]

Joseph mild sprained ankle, will not return tonight.

[AztecSpur]

I've got a bad feed so its hard to see, but is Kawhi growing a beard?

[Mugen]

Love how TP has played tonight.

[milkyway21]

:wow 8-12 (67%) 3-ptr 8min left 3qtr Spurs leading by 20

[BanditHiro]

Daye comes in and the Wolves are about to go on a run

[TampaDude]

GAME OVER.

THIS GAME IS OVER.

[BatManu20]

Got damn Tony has looked great tonight. I dig :tu

[BatManu20]

Belli!

[timtonymanu]

lol Pop

"What did you miss about Marco?"
- His great defense

[SpurPadre]

Looks like Hammon gave TP some good head tonight.

[milkyway21]

Looks like Duncan will not register a double-double tonight. Pop might sit him in the 4th. Garbage time

[ElNono]

feels good to destroy these fucks at their home... feels like we've not won there in ages

[RD2191]

Should be up 30.:wakeup

[timtonymanu]

Should be up 30.:wakeup

Hopefully your boy CoJo is okay. :toast

[beirmeistr]

Thanks to TP and others, KA might get some good minutes tonite

[ElNono]

smh Daye

[BanditHiro]

god lord Daye

[BatManu20]

Daye is just awful. Have to do something about this dude.

[timtonymanu]

How the fuck was Daye a lottery pick?

[RD2191]

Austin "Matt Bonner" Daye

[bobcatfan4life]

The Wolves court is ugly as hell.

[timtonymanu]

Austin "Matt Bonner" Daye

Prime Bonner would hit those, tbh.

[SpurPadre]

Ayres, Bonner, and Daye: The Anti-Three

[RD2191]

Hopefully your boy CoJo is okay. :toast
:toast:lol

[SpurPadre]

Prime Bonner would hit those, tbh.

Until late April.

[beirmeistr]

Da ye seems to be higher on the rotation than Ay res

[TheGreatYacht]

Leonard has about 30 more games to earn an All Star spot. Will he make it?
I think he'll be the only Spur to make it, tbh

[ElNono]

why do they keep leaving Danny open?

[timtonymanu]

Verdeeeeeee

[milkyway21]

Leonard, Duncan, Green, Diaw, Parker registering 20+ (+/- ) ratio :tu

[Uriel]

Since when was Flip Saunders coaching in Minnesota? :lol

[ElNono]

Since when was Flip Saunders coaching in Minnesota? :lol

he's been their GM for a long time... I guess he felt like coaching again

[Robz4000]

Beli went to the locker room...

[beirmeistr]

Wolves are pitiful, bring in the benchmarks

[beirmeistr]

Benchmarks? I typed benches

[SpurPadre]

I think he'll be the only Spur to make it, tbh

Not if TP gets a few more of these type of games. Leonard needs to start racking up more 20 point games to get more consideration. Sadly and unjustifiably, they'd pick Kobe over him at this point, tbh.

[Uriel]

These T-Wolves commentators are really good. They're knowledgable and have clearly done their HW.

[beirmeistr]

My minipad is functioning

[024]

I can see what Pop sees in Daye. He's so fluid for a 6'11 guy, almost like Kevin Durant. Too bad he is just a terrible basketball player. Every time you seem him get the ball, he makes a fluid movement and you get so excited but then he ends up just fumbling his dribble at the end or bricking his shot.

[Mugen]

Sit Parker. Put in Fat Head tbh.

[beirmeistr]

Malfunctioning

[Shastafarian]

Beli went to the locker room...

Did they say why?

[TheGreatYacht]

Did anyone else see Belinelli head to the locker room? Splitter did that as well on his first game back ...

EDIT: nvm someone else pointed it out above

[Brazil]

As everybody was saying, offense just needed some 3s to start falling

[ElNono]

Ayres, Daye with the TPups run

[Mugen]

crofl Daye

[BatManu20]

:lol Ayers and Daye in the game together. Get ready for the inevitable run by the Wolves.

[Mikeanaro]

Not if TP gets a few more of these type of games. Leonard needs to start racking up more 20 point games.
But Tony is also a stranger in ASG, even when he was putting nice stats and being a 3x champion it didnt help much (reserve/bench sucks).

[jeebus]

Errors comes in, Wolves automatically cut into the lead, Errors claps.

[ElNono]

lol bobo the PG

[-21-]

As everybody was saying, offense just needed some 3s to start falling

Still gotta keep in mind that these are the Timberwolves though.

[Mel_13]

Boris never lets them see him sweat.

[timtonymanu]

Did they say why?

The TWolves feed showed him on a stationary bike near the locker room.

[SpurPadre]

But Tony is also a stranger in ASG, even when he was putting nice stats and being a 3x champion it didnt help much (reserve/bench sucks).

But he still made the team. Manu's been snubbed a couple times, though.

[BanditHiro]

this line up is going to give up the lead.

[Brazil]

Still gotta keep in mind that these are the Timberwolves though.

Yup.. That's why they are perfect to get things Rollin a bit

[Uriel]

Pop should experiment and let Kyle Anderson run the show.

[beirmeistr]

Boris never lets them see him sweat.

He never lets the Spurs see him sweat either

[Mel_13]

He never lets the Spurs see him sweat either

:bobo

[Brazil]

Cleveland is sucking bad against wiz tbh

[ElNono]

Cleveland is sucking bad against wiz tbh

we wrecked them

[testies]

Bobo :clap

Top10 player in the league if he was American and tattooed

[Mikeanaro]

But he still made the team. Manu's been snubbed a couple times, though.
Yeah, I guess Manu playing just 25 minutes didnt help him much to get a spot, thats why Im not sure if Kawhi will get a spot with Pop making him play 25 min like Manu.
If thats the secret formula to win rings I could care less but chances to make the ASG are slim.

[BatManu20]

Has Daye made a shot? This dude is bricking all wide open shots.

[BatManu20]

Of course Daye nails it :lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

So this how its gonna be huh? Pop just gonna leave Timmy out when he's so close to a double-double?
