That 11-2 run by the Sixers to end the half against Ayers/Baynes/Beli :bang

[DPG21920]

Wonder if Nono can talk Pop into playing Manu 7 more minutes..

[Mel_13]

Daye/Baynes/Beli.

[mystargtr34]

:lol its unbelievable how Kawhi just doesn't get any post plays run for him when Tim and Tony are out there. As a lot of posters have said, he's easily our best post player, and one of the best in the league in terms of PPP in the post. He should be getting 4-6 post attempts a night.

[100%duncan]

Wonder if Nono can talk Pop into playing Manu 7 more minutes..

I bet Nono can talk to Brett Brown to give him a chance to play against Manu.

[DPG21920]

I bet Nono can talk to Brett Brown to give him a chance to play against Manu.

:lol

[Uriel]

CSN can get Brett Brown to do an interview at halftime and TNT can't even get Pop to talk during breaks between quarters.

[weeks]

has brett brown always had that accent? sounded weird

[BatManu20]

Sixers on a 14-2 run.

[littlecoyotecoin]

Someone should take it as their personal crusade to make sure people are more aware of Kawhi's abilities. You should start a thread about it.

[Uriel]

has brett brown always had that accent? sounded weird

He's spent a lot of time coaching the Australian national team. His accent is kind of a hybrid of American and Australian.

[Uriel]

Pop needs to give Kyle Anderson some minutes. Seriously.

[r0drig0lac]

kawhi killing

[loveforthegame]

Leonard needs to remember he's a role player.

[Uriel]

:lmao people in the offseason wanting to let go of Baynes

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

RIP some of Baynes' potential children

[Mel_13]

Ouch

[BatManu20]

Bobo coast to coast.

[BatManu20]

Baynes with balls of steel tbh. Timmy laughing :lol

[KL2]

Daniels reminds me a lot of Verde

[SpursFan86]

Kawhi now has four 20-point games this season. He had three all of last year.

[benstanfield]

Doink

[milkyway21]

Kawhi GO for the triple-double :flag:

[DPG21920]

That.Would.Have.Been.Filthy.T.B.H.

[Uriel]

Leonard needs to remember he's a role player.
Leonard is a role player when Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili are all on the floor. In that situation, he'd be best served to let the veterans handle the ball, rather than jacking up midrange jumpers off the dribble with a hand in his face.

In a game like this when virtually the whole Big 3 is sitting out and he's clearly the best player on the floor, then he should play like a star.

[NASpurs]

Errs is fucking with us. I refuse to believe someone is that stupid

[Fireball]

Ayres is killing me ... really

[benstanfield]

I'll give Doink credit, he's much needed comedic relief in an otherwise unwatchable game

[100%duncan]

DOIIIIIIIIIIIIINK!

[timtonymanu]

Errors having a championship ring. :lol

[KL2]

has brett brown always had that accent? sounded weird

Googled it, brown says it's a mix between a boston accent and Australian lol

[100%duncan]

I like how one poster is avoiding this thread altogether

[BatManu20]

If Spurs weren't sucking right now we'd be up by 30

[spurraider21]

Boris got mad at Daye for not shooting :lol

[SpursFan86]

Can we please put this game away? Every time we start to pull away, we get sloppy and let them back in it.

[SpursFan86]

Boris got mad at Daye for not shooting :lol

pot calling the kettle black tbh

[Fireball]

Errors having a championship ring. :lol not anymore ... already fumbled and lost

[spurraider21]

pot calling the kettle black tbh
yeah thats why i found it funny. boris 2.0 :tu

[spursparker9]

lol Boo Error

[mystargtr34]

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Is Kawhi really only going to play 32ish minutes?

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Or even less than that?

[benstanfield]

10 minutes 5 fouls

[jeebus]

ElNono, get over there and throw something at Errors.

[Mugen]

:lol Gonna foul out against the Sixers

[Mikeanaro]

Lol Skyrocket hook.

[RD2191]

Just got in. How has cojo looked? Tbh.

[Mikeanaro]

Just got in. How has cojo looked? Tbh.
Decent I would say.

[BillMc]

Not to pile on but Jeff had 5 fouls in 12 minutes.....

[RD2191]

Decent I would say.
Thanks mayne.

[weeks]

jeff bent over. he looks like he's contemplating suicide man. been a rough few weeks for errs

[spurraider21]

broadcast mentioning Becky Hammon.

i have no comment

[timtonymanu]

Good God, get Daye off the court too.

[BatManu20]

:lol Daye is so bad

[jeebus]

Spurs would be up by 600 if Errors and Daye didn't play tonight.

[Mugen]

I wonder if they can just leave Daye/Errors in Philly tbh.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

If they get it close enough Kawhi might get back in

[TheGreatYacht]

Manu bringing the Sixers back smfh

[BatManu20]

Bonner and Daye in = getting killed on the boards

[timtonymanu]

Not even against the fucking Sixers can Ayres and Daye put up fluky numbers... Cut these scrubs.

[BillMc]

jeff bent over. he looks like he's contemplating suicide man. been a rough few weeks for errs

Yep. He's a good guy too. But, he's not playing well at all. Trade him for Blair. Wizards aren't using him.

[Fireball]

rarely see two Spurs players arguing with each other the way Beli and Baynes just did ...

[Diego20]

Manu bringing the Sixers back smfh


:cry:cry b-ut but 0 turnovers :cry:cry

[Uriel]

I have a feeling the Spurs are going to lose this game. :lol

[Fireball]

Not even against the fucking Sixers can Ayres and Daye put up fluky numbers... Cut these scrubs. really would like to have that Green guy from training camp who now plays in Austin. He would at least provide some energy ...

[jeebus]

that's 2 bullshit fouls on Baynes.

[BatManu20]

Those are weak calls tbh

[Hoops Czar]

Use two friggin hands Baynes

[Mikeanaro]

Damn, went to the bath just a couple minutes... Phily is really close.

[BatManu20]

Smh Cojo.. thank you Kawhi

[TheGreatYacht]

People were actually siding with the FO about drafting Anderson over McDaniels :lmao :lmao

[hater]

Ferrari looks like basura. What the fucked happened to him?

[timtonymanu]

Red Rocket :cry

[Mikeanaro]

Red mamba taking care.

[Diego20]

Bonner in his prime..

[BatManu20]

Bonner carrying us.

[Holden_Caulfield]

bonner dominating niggas :lol

[SpursFan86]

Not sure how to feel about Bonner carrying us lmao

[HI-FI]

+/- King, just doing what he do.

[Mugen]

Daye makes Matt look like a prime Larry Bird out there tbh.

[weeks]

bonner 5/5...shitting all over the sixers

[Diego20]

Ferrari looks like basura. What the fucked happened to him?


Ferrari was never actualy a Ferrari, more like a Fiat..

[hater]

:lmao Bonner has ONE move and sixers can't figure it out :lmao

[Fireball]

if Matty had played Ayres minutes Spurs would lead by 30+

[BatManu20]

People were actually siding with the FO about drafting Anderson over McDaniels :lmao :lmao

Anderson has a skill set. McDaniels is all athleticism. With his size and elite athletic ability, he should've been a Top 10 pick. There's a reason he fell to the 2nd round, tbh. He was the worst shooting guard at the combine by far. Not to mention McDaniel's is not really a Spurs type of guy. Too hood for us, tbh.

[BillMc]

Bonner is a damn good 4th/5th big. It's just when he's in the top 3 that he's over matched.

[TheGreatYacht]

Sorry Cojo Stans, that backup PG spot is reserved for Mills

[Uriel]

Poor Brett Brown. If he had stayed in SA, he would have another championship ring, rather than having to coach possibly the worst team in NBA history. :lol

There's a reason Anderson was picked 30th by the Spurs even though Spurstalk was convince he was a lottery pick because the media and Lebron said so.

[jeebus]

pretty pathetic imo

[BatManu20]

Marco ice cold now.

[BatManu20]

Put Manu back in.

[Leetonidas]

This game is annoying. I mean Spurs are gonna win and all, and yeah I know major players sitting out, still just irritating to watch overall

[Robz4000]

:lmao Spurms

[hater]

:lmao Kawhi being oppressed by Tony :lmao

[TampaDude]

Timeout...Pop is pissed...close this shit, guys!

[timtonymanu]

Poor Brett Brown. If he had stayed in SA, he would have another championship ring, rather than having to coach possibly the worst team in NBA history. :lol

I'm sure Brown wanted to tank the next few seasons anyway.

Does Anderson really have a skill set? He can create for others at the college level, that's it. He can't defend, his jumper is slow and unreliable, doesn't really have a position at the NBA level, etc. McDaniels would be the perfect backup to Kawhi

[loveforthegame]

7 minutes without a shot.

[BatManu20]

There's a reason Anderson was picked 30th by the Spurs even though Spurstalk was convince he was a lottery pick because the media and Lebron said so.

If not for his athletic limitations, Anderson easily would've been a lottery pick. He was the best passer in the draft and had arguably the highest bball IQ. He fell to the 30th pick because of his athletic ability alone. He'll improve with time. He just turned 21.

[BatManu20]

Danny! Finally

[TampaDude]

Verde!

[Hoops Czar]

Spurs prefer to let the sixers shoot wide open shots.

[timtonymanu]

these faggots need to remember they're tanking.

[hater]

:lol green flop

[Diego20]

You said KA could be actually better than Manu :lmao

[jeebus]

Marco Daye tbh

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi almost got killed because of Belinelli smh

[hater]

:lol what a bunch of scrubs without TP

[Uriel]

:lmao Spurs

[TheGreatYacht]

You said KA could be actually better than Manu :lmao
He is

[TheGreatYacht]

:lol what a bunch of scrubs without TP

[unleashbaynes]

That can of yellow paste sure looked appetizing

You either have Athleticism or you don't. He is what he is.

[hater]

That can of yellow paste sure looked appetizing

Cheese wiz on the cheese steak is delish

[Hoops Czar]

Baynes getting schooled on defense.

[TheGreatYacht]

Cojo is fucking awful. No wonder he always lets Manu run PG

[Robz4000]

What the fuck is Pop doing?

[Uriel]

Gotta LOVE how Pop continues to keep Manu out of this game.

[unleashbaynes]

if they actually blow this it would be ridiculous.

[BillMc]

Why no Manu in crunch time?

[jeebus]

Patty come baaaaaaack :cry

[Brunodf]

inb4 Sixers comeback

[DesignatedT]

Joseph struggling to run the point with pressure on him.

[BillMc]

I'm guessing this is a "learning experience" and therefore he's keeping Manu out?

[Darius Bieber]

Lol Spurs.

[loveforthegame]

Sitting Leonard nearly the whole 3rd and only 2 shots in the 4th. :td

[midnightpulp]

These dumbasses. If Pop's clever ass would've just given Duncan and Parker (who is not that hurt) an easy 20 minutes, we win by 20 and his team isn't sweating a potential loss to the worst team in NBA.

:cry CIA Pop :cry doing this so the scrubs get some burn and experience.

[Hoops Czar]

Why no Manu in crunch time?

You mean they need Manu to beat the lowly sixers?

[BatManu20]

What the fuck is Pop doing?

Was about to post this. He seems to be taking a Phil Jackson approach of letting them figure it out. He's forgetting who's out on the floor though. These aren't guys who let figure it out...

[TampaDude]

Are we gonna lose this shit?

[Splits]

Why no Manu in crunch time?

Known choker

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Wow they gave it to Kawhi? Amazing!

[loveforthegame]

Go to Leonard and things happen.

[unleashbaynes]

great grown man move from kawhi.

[Johnny RIngo]

This game is proof enough that the Spurs should sell high on Joseph at the trade deadline - dude's a scrub that can't run a proper offense.

[TampaDude]

Kawhi and 1! Ballgame!

[BatManu20]

Needed that.

[timtonymanu]

Joseph better be still hurting or something. It's so annoying seeing him play decent enough only to revert back to passive Joseph.

[RD2191]

This game is proof enough that the Spurs should sell high on Joseph at the trade deadline - dude's a scrub that can't run a proper offense.
He isn't a PG, tbh. 1 bad game doesn't mean shit. He's been solid to start the season.

[TheGreatYacht]

Joseph and Belinelli, the guys who completely ignored Kawhi in the 4th... Stat padding with these free throws :lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

God damn let Kawhi shoot the FTs next

[spursparker9]

Kawhi 25 pts, 10 rebs, 4 asts

[FaM0us Skins]

:flag:

[midnightpulp]

Jesus, 6ers. Just take your loss for the tank and move on. Calling timeouts :lol

[RD2191]

DG went 1-9? Damn.

[timtonymanu]

Jesus, 6ers. Just take your loss for the tank and move on. Calling timeouts :lol

This. They need to know what their end goal is. :lol

[littlecoyotecoin]

Great game, actually. Our deep bench scrubs, Ayres, Daye, Cojo, Anderson, and Baynes get a lot of minutes, and our regular rotation guys get experience tryin' to close out a close game. Our starters get rest. We get the win. Couldn't plan an otherwise meaningless game any better.

[TheGreatYacht]

This SOB took up Kawhi's free throws to pad his stats, people have Fantasy teams fucker

[Uriel]

:lmao Spurs
:lmao Can't even beat Sixers by double digits
:lmao Struggling against the worst team in NBA history playing without their franchise defensive big Nerlens Noel

[Johnny RIngo]

These dumbasses. If Pop's clever ass would've just given Duncan and Parker (who is not that hurt) an easy 20 minutes, we win by 20 and his team isn't sweating a potential loss to the worst team in NBA.

:cry CIA Pop :cry doing this so the scrubs get some burn and experience.

Pop really needs to give up on the Ayres and Daye experiment already. Neither is really all that young so it's not like they have some untapped potential or anything(both are 27 years old). These two have had plenty of chances to prove themselves in the NBA and have done nothing but suck thus far. Move on, Pop.

[TheGreatYacht]

Get your PPG up Kawhi, earned it tonight

[jeebus]

Cojo and Baynes are deep bench scrubs?

[Uriel]

That said, when the Sixers have Nerlens Noel and Joel Embiid patrolling the paint, it is going to be virtally impossile to score against them.

[lofds]

There was a distinct lack of plays for Kawhi and less so for Boris. That was some of the most miserable offense in the second half that I've ever seen.

[BatManu20]

Ugly W. But I'll take it.

[mando6599]

Yikes, that was ugly. Yet a win is a win.

[TampaDude]

Wrong. Dat 3 will rain.

Assuming the Sixers lose this, they are now 4-48 dating back to Jan 31 of last season.

[thiste]

So the Spurs' second or third unit beat the Sixers' first right? I'll take it.

[hater]

spurs didn't deserve the win. pop shoulda been a gentleman and hand the win to Brett.

Despicable

[mando6599]

Weird, we practically said the exact same thing at the exact same time, BatManu!

[TheGreatYacht]

Bonner would drop 25 on them

[rasuo214]

Last 5 games for Kawhi = 19.8 ppg (54% FG 47% 3P) 8.4 rbg 1.8 spg

[mystargtr34]

Damn MCW is shooting 34% from the field this season.. :lol this guy is the epitome of an inefficient empty stat padder.

[BatManu20]

I think the Sixers beat the Twolves on Wednesday to avoid setting the all-time record for worst start.

[TampaDude]

spurs didn't deserve the win. pop shoulda been a gentleman and hand the win to Brett.

Despicable

Eat shit and die, faggot.

[TampaDude]

Yikes, that was ugly. Yet a win is a win.

^this, tbh

[Mikeanaro]

It was so close but they can still go for the full 0-82 mark :flag:

[littlecoyotecoin]

Cojo and Baynes are deep bench scrubs?

That was somewhat tongue in cheek, but essentially, yes. If Patty and Tiago come back, Baynes and Cojo slide back down. And, did you see Cojo play?

[Robz4000]

Outside that dunk Marco was pretty terrible. Not sure why Pop insists on playing him more than Green so much. I don't buy the whole giving him minutes to work off the rust bs fwiw.

[weeks]

marco has looked awful from deep this year. wtf is going on with him?

otherwise, ugly win, move on to the next victim

[Splits]

8 straight wins!

:flag:

[BackHome]

marco has looked awful from deep this year. wtf is going on with him?

To be honest the whole team except for Tony sucked at the 3 for the first seven games so I am OK giving him time to find his shot.

[TampaDude]

Just win, baby! :hat

[ElNono]

Just got home! had a great time, I'll post some pics later!

[ElNono]

manu putting on a show for elnono.


Nono is getting that "will manu score 20 points" thread ready to bump from the arena.


Manu saw Nono in the crowd and decided to take this game into his own hands ....


Manu doing it for ElNono!

:lmao :tu

[hyhy]

Cojo and Baynes are deep bench scrubs?

How much playing time did they get last playoffs?
